The IMF is an illuminate front. Giving more power to the rothschilds cabal is not a good idea.

Down with bankers.

End the fed.

“IMF resources are rather stretched these days as well. It can’t afford too many more bailouts without drawing additional funding from somewhere.”

Well, this is just the point, and it applies in the South of Europe (in this case via the EU institutional structure as agreed in Paris on October 12), as well as in the East via the IMF.

At the present time the banks are more or less safe, since we have put up two huge firebreaks, but what happens if the force of the blaze simply consumes all the water available to extinguish it. Who is the lender of the last resort here if things really do come badly unstuck. If not the IMF, and not the Commission in Brussels, then who.

I say this looking over nervously over at Poland, Romania and company on the one hand, and Spain and Italy on the other. It’s not a good idea to write blank cheques if you don’t have either sufficient liquidity yourself or a guarantor with very, very deep pockets.
