EU Growth Summit; Slim Defeats Merkel

If you've read Marguerite Duras or Heinrich Böll or the Biography of Simone de Beauvoir or watched Casablanca, you can imagine how elated I am to hear that the EuroCrats are having a Growth Summit. 

Warmest regards, 

Slim 


Merkel's Last Stand was written well over a year ago. 


Everything from "You Can't Fool the Lion" to "Merkel and the Salesman" to "Your Dentist Can't Solve the EuroCrisis Either" has been focused on the disaster that is the devolution of the European Economy.

With this summit, there is some hope. If you are a supporter of Merkel you are a supporter of Grover Norquist. Whom do you wish to endorse? The Chancellor and The Failure that is Merkelism, an economic system based on the fear that someone, somewhere, is earning a living? or President Obama and his programme of Capital Investment, Economic Development, and Growth?

I believe that the riots in Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and France, and the Positive Showing of Silvio Berlusconi in the election, and Hungary making changes in the constitution over the Objections of the EuroUnion, in addition to the position taken by PM Cameron with respect to the Euro, in addition to Mario Draghi's Position on Capital Investment, Economic Development, and Growth and articles like "Beware! The Chancellor is Consolidating Power" have helped to fuel a rebellion of the EuroLeaders against the Chancellor!

Forgive me if I feel as though I may have contributed to the shift in the paradigm and aided the European Economic Community.  As Humphrey Bogart said to Captain Renault, "Louis, are you pro Merkel or Free French?"


Homage à Madame Lagarde! 

Warmest regards,

best of luck,

and best wishes to the European People.

Sincerely,

Slim

Not for the G 20 Only

My PowerPoint presentation, The Future of the G 20 in Good Times and Bad is not the final word on the subject.  It was designed to serve  as a point of departure for the EuroCrats to find the best road into the future.

This is the reason why.  And if you dispute me, I shall point to the Occupy Wall Street Movement as a more than substantial Road Sign.

The Zero Sum Game is no longer viable.  Saddam Hussein, Mubarak, Gaddafi are part of what people are calling The Arab Spring.  I call it, The Path of the Trajectory.

"That one cannot predict the future is not the proper response to the one who tells you to get off the tracks--the train is coming."--Slim Fairview

Previously,  I discussed, resources.  I cited:  Energy, Pharmaceuticals, and Agriculture.  Oil, Medicine, and Food in simplest terms.  In my monograph on "Soft War" I indicated that the control and allocation of these resources will become more crucial.  However, there are other resources to be concerned about:


Water
Technology
Information
Validation


It is the last one I am concerned with here.  VALIDATION!


Unity will be paramount.  Not EuroUnion style unity, but the style of unity built upon a bedrock of expediency.  (The Future of the G 20--If there is one.)


World Leaders sitting in a circle behind their nation's flags, is an engineered impediment to unity.  I will make that painfully clear to the World Leaders et. al.


The Analogy:


When the typewriter was invented, the technology was not adequate to accommodate the speed of the typist.  The machines jammed.  The solution?  The QWERTY  keyboard to slow the typist down to the level of the machine.


World Leaders are the Technology.
People are the Typists.


This was illuminated in my monograph: A New World Order--A World Without Borders.


As world leaders are sitting in a circle, hiding behind flags, humanity is bonding through a virtual citizenship.  The new nation?  NETOPIA.


The World's Population is not wrapped in a variety of flags.


World Leaders are in hot pursuit of Symbolic Gestures. Individuals, people, are in hot pursuit of substantive gains.  Guess who wins?


While The EuroCrats are wallowing in a discussion about The Greek Debt Crisis and Business Leaders are still discussing whether or not social media reduces productivity, The Hip, Cutting Edge, Tech People like me are blogging.


These matters have been discussed on my blog.  It should not be necessary for me to hold anyone's hand and lead him down the blog with a series of Tweets with Links.


Witness the Greek Riots, Witness the OWS movement, Witness the Path of the Trajectory (also known as  The Arab Spring).


Bon Chance.


Sincerest regards,


Slim
