Why doesn’t Ireland speak directly to the Chinese or the Arabs, and just let the banks fail.

Solidarity with the Irish and the Greeks and each
other. Always the bond-holders are made well, in
their created crises, one after the next.  They must
not be paid.  They bet, they lost.  Their threats of
all the terrible things that will happen are lies out
of whole-cloth.  Stop paying the taxes that support
these wealthy bandits and their punish-the-poor
policies they now insist upon when it is not the
common people that did this.  Stop paying the taxes
and we will get their attention like no protest march
or letter to the editor or useless ballot ever will. 
You want real change?  That’s how it’s done.  The
boycott, the strike, the refusal to serve, the
refusal to cooperate.  This is what real dissent
looks like.  This is what democracy looks like.

This will be interesting to watch.  The Irish are not the mindless sheep that the Americans have become.  They may resist a bailout that enriches their bankers at their expense.

‘Although it may sound like a delicious alcoholic beverage rather than a $50 billion rescue of Ireland’s capitalist apparatus,..’

This is a sly and bigoted statement against the Irish.  Really?  Bringing ‘the red-nosed, drunken Irish alchoholic’ stereotype into a financial analysis?

For Cris Sakes.

Heavy pressure is coming from the City of London (their Wall Street, and very connected to Wall Street) which is about to lose vast sums if these “Irish” banks go down.  The vast debt belongs to these people, not the state of Ireland which is solvent.

We’ve been here before, haven’t we?

The oligarchs are now launching a war against that pesky thing known as national sovereignty, or what stands between you and their control over you.

They will not stop with Ireland.  The looting will continue.  They are coming for your freedom, boyo.
