Sou um seguidor indefectível da minha proverbial incorrecção política. E nada me desvia dela. Nada.
Exactamente por isso, "lamber" notícias deste jaez, já só me faz soltar um sorriso. E de mera condescendência!
Porque:
Quando se ganha todo o tempo do mundo a ler coisas como a que segue e que são propositadamente arredadas dos cabeçalhos da grande imprensa internacional, começa-se a ter uma impiedosa e aguçada consciência do que este mundo está a valer. Ora leiam. A origem, aqui, tem pouco interesse.
"According to the China Economic Review, Chinese
President Hu and President Obama held a
private meeting in Mexico during the G20 summit. No surprise: …the two
countries are working together in ways most
don’t want to believe.
The main topic, I’m sure: How to revalue the
Chinese yuan higher and the U.S. dollar
lower. That’s what both leaders want.
President Hu wants a stronger yuan to give his country
more purchasing power and to stoke up
consumer consumption ...
And President Obama wants a weaker dollar to
stoke up desperately needed inflation in
the U.S. — so Washington can ease the burden of its debts by paying them back in the future with dollars that are
worth less.
Never mind it’s going to cost you more. Never mind
anything and everything you purchase
even at Wal-Mart will go up in price.
This is all about supposedly “rebalancing growth”
— the term Washington likes to bandy
about, but is nothing but a ruse, a politically acceptable way of saying Washington wants a weaker dollar.
You have to read between the lines with our
leaders in Washington. They almost never
really speak the truth. They’re too concerned with keeping their jobs.
Meanwhile, we are the ones who pay the price."
Se lhe juntarem esta carta aberta, resta uma conclusão muito clara:
A Europa, tal como a conhecemos, morreu. Fomos sumáriamente atirados para fora do "tabuleiro". Já nada nos vai valer.
Nem a austeridade, nem a falta dela.
