THE TWO Ss OF REAL INDEPENDENCE

We post the following paragraph for a reason.

The possibility of Greece's exit from the EU pulled a Houdini for a while, disappearing from center stage and all the political cynosure. The bureaucratic hand wringing, if it went on, went on behind the scenes.

Why is Greece dragging its feet?  There appear to be technical and political reasons.  Greek laws, it appears, require the country's external borders to be monitored by Greek nationals. There are also some other idiosyncratic reasons offered. There is an unspoken reason that could be key.  From a Greek perspective, the country has already experienced a profound encroachment on its sovereignty.   Remember the key link is between solvency and sovereignty. Greece's problems with the former lead to the erosion of the latter.

When you owe your soul to the company store, your choices are slim, slimmer and none. Call us paranoid, call us whatever, just so you call us something. The way you really damage anyone is by completely ignoring them the way this administration has completely ignored foreign policy.

One of the things behind all this craziness is globalization, a surrogate for one world government. Just a few of those dots are climate change, the Chinese yuan joining the basket of reserve currencies and, yes, Greece. A full, complete Greece exit most likely won't breakup the EU, but it's the first fissure in the stone masonry. And like cockroaches or termites where's there's one, there's most likely more. 

Sovereignty and solvency, as this writer notes, go together. Centralization, just another term for globalization, is an outright attack on your sovereignty and that includes your currency, your culture, whatever it might be, and your individual care. The last thing these elitists want is masses of people who can care for themselves.

So remember the two Ss in your personal lives. Honoring one will keep the other out of trouble.
