SECS4: A world-beating New Euro would end Corruption, Dishonesty, and Marxist Blackmail
July 3, 2015
In world monetary history, some currencies have lasted more than a thousand years. That won’t happen with the present euro. Its self-destruction is as certain as anything in politics.

European Parliament: Who is a lobbyist, really?
March 23, 2011
It appears to me that the term ‘lobbying’ is not very clear in Austria. Disgraced former MEP Ernst Strasser boasted that he was both a lobbyist and an MEP.
