Sarkozy's G-20 Tantrum
Ultimatums are always the smartest way to go: French President Nicolas Sarkozy is threatening to walk out of this week’s Group of 20 summit if his plan for tougher global financial regulations is not adopted. The main item on the agenda for the London summit is financial oversight, but Sarkozy, who has blamed the “Anglo-Saxons” for the financial crisis and says he will not tolerate empty talk at the meeting, specifically wants to create a global financial regulator, an idea British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has called ridiculous. Germany, Britain, and the US are pushing for a “college” of regulators, located in several countries, that will supervise companies. Meanwhile, a report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a group of 30 Western democracies, predicts that unemployment will reach 10 percent next year in most developed nations and that growth will slump 4.3 percent this year.

In most cases the French have a long way to go when it comes to fairness for anyone other then themselves. "BUT" in this case this Nation as well as the rest of the world needs to agree that the people who created this world wide money meltdown are without a doubt, "CRIMINALS". This world has seen once again that the human being is if nothing else, laced with "GREED" & greed knows no borders, the chase for more money crosses borders, faiths as well as nationality. All countries that have people running them that can think need to get together & put into place not just guidelines but hard fast regulations with major penalties including major jail time as well as the stripping of all money's ever earned. These wealthy people who cheated the world once will do it again unless they are just plain scared to do so. This is not a time for any nation to allow big money to get involved with the writing of "ANYTHING" that is supposed to regulate them....

I don't believe anyone is going to lose their sovereignty to a band of international money watchers. Sarkozy might make a scene about it but I think they will all join him. Obama might be a rock star in Europe but that doesn't equate to manager extraordinaire!

I didn't think Sarkozy had the gonads to do something like this. Maybe his wife is behind behind the curtains pulling the strings.
Having said that, I believe that we do need tighter financial oversight and that the Anglo-Saxons (i.e.) are indeed behind the crippling recession that we are experiencing. Give American financial institutions and their execs the opportunity and they will loot and plunder for their own corporate/personal again w/o any regard for the consequences. They will do it again (probably finding ways to do it right now), given the opportunity. New technologies allows them to lie/cheat/steal much more quickly than before.

The French were reviled by Americans for their failing to go along with the projected war in Iraq. They were right.
Whatever their other shortcomings, this indicates to me that this ally (France) has an important perspective to bring to bear upon what America does.
If we dismiss their concerns out of hand, as we did in 2003, we may pay a similar price. French fries are okay after all.

OH, this article is right out of a SCARFACE (1983 film) script excerpt. It's life imitating art!!!!!! Does anyone else here recognize this too? If not, let me point it out to you with the Scarface movie excerpt that reminds me of what this article states regarding French President Nicolas Sarkozy & British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
What is this? An excerpt from the 1983 Scareface movie script where Tony Montana character played by Al Pacino is sitting in a sunken tub while talking to the Manny Ribera character played by Steve Bauer.
Script excerpt from the Scarface (1983 film) All credit due: Oliver Stone- script and screen writer of this following excerpt.
Scene set up- The following is not in the script:
Tony Montana sits soaking in a large sunken tub while watching television. A bank commercial appears on the television screen with a bank spokesman giving an ad pitch.
Excerpt begins:
Bank Spokesman: ...Here at Florida Security Trust we've been putting your money to work for a better America. We've been around for seventy-five years. We'll be here tomorrow.
A logo for the firm over with the reminder "Since 1907."
Camera puling back to reveal TONY watching in his huge gold leave bath tube, a cigar clenched between his teeth. He looks like a character in a "Futzie Nutzie" loafing cartoon, with his TV hooked to one side of the tub, a long phone line to the other, and a radio and portable bar all within reach.
TONY- (to the TV) Yeah that's 'cause for seventy-five years you been F###ing all of us over, that's why.
- somebody oughta do something about these WASP who-res. Charging me ten points on my money, and they're getting away with it! There's no laws anymore, anything goes.
MANNY- Listen, these guys been here for a thousand years. They got all the angles figured.
Excerpt ends:
BLA BLA BLA then the conversation later goes onto say with a quote from the TONY character saying-
Later scene excerpt:
TONY- That pr!ck, that WASP who-re. What's he think I am, some maricon come over on the boat...
End of all excerpts:
Saturday Nigh Live should do a recreation of this. A French President Nicolas Sarkozy character could replace the character of TONY and a British Prime Minister Gordon Brown character could represent the banker in an earlier scene when a banker was talking to TONY about washing dollars, or later in the tub scene representing the bank spokesman in the bank commercial in the scene posted above. It would be hilarious for those whom have watched the movie scarface (1981 film).
The Dan Aykroyd movie "Nothing But Trouble" (1991 film) would work in a skit too- only it's not life universal enough as few people I think can remember it, or even have seen it. Still this topic of Anglos running banking rackets is so topical regardless. The Anglo white elites love to blame everything on minorities, but I think this time around they have run out of minority groups to scapegoat; the gig is up. Now, they are going to have to fess up to what they have been really up to for centuries.
P.S. If anyone sees Bill Kristol at the airport with allot of luggage, you will know at that point in time that the Anglo elites are cooked for good. Because he is one of their main PR people.
Thank you.
