Peter Schiff get the last laugh


Over the last couple of years, Peter Schiff made some dire predictions about an impending economic collapse. He was openly laughed at by many "experts" in the financial community. He also predicted the collapse of the U.S. dollar. I suspect that he is right about the currency collapse, just a bit off in the timing.

Ireland votes NO to Lisbon Treaty

The future of the European Union was tonight clouded in uncertainty after Ireland voted No to the Lisbon Treaty.

Jose Manuel Barroso, European Commission President, and a raft of foreign ministers expressed dismay that Ireland - the only member state to hold a referendum on the matter - chose to reject it decisively by 53.4 per cent to 46.6 per cent.

Amid wild cheers from No campaigners, the results were revealed at 5pm as being 862,415 against and 752,451 in favour, meaning a majority of 109,964 for those rejecting the treaty.

Despite the result, EU leaders were tonight vowing to press ahead with ratifying the treaty across all members' parliaments.

Lisbon Treaty

On June 12th, Ireland will hold a constitutional referendum on ratifying the Lisbon Treaty. The Irish constitution stipulates that any amendments (ie. treaties) must be put to a referendum. The other twenty six EU member states will (if not already), address the treaty through a parliamentary ratification.

Many observers see this vote, as a choice between democracy and the eurocracy.

Snow

The first big snowfall of the year brought close to sixteen inches of fine, light powder. It took me about twenty minutes to dig out the car for the trip into town.
