The Irish financial adviser/commentator Eddie Hobbs suggests to the Irish viewers of this program that the European politicians are "behind the curve" and have lost control in the fight to save the Euro and everyone should get at least some of their money out of Euros and into gold or other currencies to protect themselves against the quite possible collapse of the Euro. One of the hosts asks if everyone took that advice wouldn't it just exacerbate the problems the Euro is facing. Hobbs doesn't debate the point but replies that it is what the wealthy and better off people in continental European countries such as Italy, Spain, Greece etc. are already doing as they believe getting their own money out of Euros is necessary to protect their financial wealth.

1. Ok, that was long and it started out a little slow. But WOW! Worth the watch, definitely.

:thumbsup:

I know the guy pimps gold but, really, what else is he going to pimp in a situation like this?

2. I thought everything was done in a pub in irland

Man, talk about crushing a persons dreams.....

It's kind of weird watching Irish people on tv..

4. -10,000

For a lame ethnic stereotype presumably meant to be humorous, as well as the ignorant comment about Irish people on tv.

Póg mo thóin.

6. Hmmmm.....

...I don't know what they said, because that's someone I have on IGNORE. And as you can see, for good reason.


- Life is too short. A word to the wise......

10. I guess I see why my family left ireland

No freakin sense of humor. Do you go around and tell everyone to knock it off on st. Patrick's day because they're being a stereotype? What a downer.

and sorry,

"as well as the ignorant comment about Irish people on tv"

Never seen any Irish TV, so it's a little strange to see people with Irish accents on a TV.

Sorry if I don't spend time watching everyone's ethnic TV. How many are there? Do you spend time watching every ethic TV station that's out there? cricket from India? Tibetan monks throat signing?

Really, save your outrage for something that matters. Having a poutrage about someone saying it's strange to see people with Irish accents on TV is really pathetic.

3. The collapse is coming.....

...and none too soon. We will never be free until there are an overwhelming number of people -- worldwide -- who will finally get off their collective asses and get into this fight for our survival.

First stop will be to get rid of all the goddamned politicians who facilitated this and then we come for the banksters. I believe we have enough jail cells to hold them and most of the rich. It would be poetic justice that all the private-prisons and corrections corporations end up being held in their own businesses.

And this is what it will take. And nothing less. We outnumber the bastards causing all this pain and we're too stupid to realize the power we have. 7 billion of us, okay? That's 7,000,000,000 versus a handful of twisted, in-bred families of morons who believe they have a right to cause so much pain in the world -- just because they can.

- And if you don't have the stomach for it, then fine, get used to the collars. Because they'll never come off if we don't stop these motherfuckers now.........

7. We outnumber them a billion to 1 - why are we still their slaves???

Jail them awaiting trial in the Hague for the politicians and in national courts for the CEOs and other murderers.

Uh-oh. To make room for the real criminals, we'll have to let everyone out of jail who've been put in there for Marijuana possession or sale... That's too bad.

5. I keep hearing the Republican blaming Keynesian for the mess we are in now, when the US hasn't

been on a Keynesian model since Reagan. Notice what model Europe is on but doubt is on a Keynesian one either.

8. The Repukes are masters at falsification, creating whatever "reality" suits their cause

Unfortunately for them their cause has already "caused" global destruction, wholesale murder, genocide, rampant environmental damage and degradation. If I didn't know better I'd say those were crimes.
