The attack on the Euro and the dismantling of the European Union: Transatlantic Economic Union instead?

Far from being the effect of the 'invisible hand of the market', the crisis of the euro is the product of a strategy carefully designed by Christina Rohmer and the White House Council of Economic Advisers.

This naturally occurring arsenic is harmless until it reaches the river basins. There, bacteria in surface and subsurface sediments release arsenic from the solids to a soluble, toxic form that slowly works its way into the shallow aquifers below.

This process has been occurring for mill...
