EVERY DAY THAT GOES BY...
By Mauro Marturano

...we're closer to the end of the EU.
The end of the EU, to me, doesn't necessarily mean the end of the absence of borders. That's just talk, or almost.
To me, the end of the EU is the end of the euro as we know it.
A currency that has guaranteed us extraordinary well-being relative to what we've actually done.
I know many of you don't see it that way. But this is reality.
Our currency has given us possibilities that our real production would never have justified.
In other words, we haven't done shit for the last forty years and, still, we've been able to live well.
And we owe that to the strength of the euro.
If the euro hadn't been strong, we wouldn't have been able to do a damn thing.
We wouldn't have been able to, and couldn't, buy the fuel to fill up planes.
Mass tourism wouldn't exist, and wouldn't have existed, therefore.
We couldn't buy goods that come from abroad.
We couldn't do a damn thing, basically.
Because, of our own, we don't have a damn thing.
Or, in any case, we don't have the truly fundamental resources: oil and gas. THE END OF THE ILLUSION
The end of the EU will happen under certainly traumatic conditions, after a few masterful moves.
You know what I think will happen: a localized nuclear event.
This will have an extraordinary impact on gas and grain prices.
And it will mark the end of the illusion of the European rule of law, which was the "real" underlying asset behind the euro's strength.
An INTANGIBLE asset that held up for as long as they wanted it to.
Today the empire is struggling.
And so, first of all, the colonies have to go.
That is, us.
