by Michael Lowy Let us have a closer look at some of these all-powerful “experts”. Where do they come from ? Mario Draghi, the head of the Central European Bank, is a former manager of Goldman Sachs; Mario Monti, former European Commissionar, is also a former adviser to Goldman Sachs. Monti and Papademos are members of the Trilateral Commission, a very select club of politicians and bankers that discuss what to do next. The President of the European Trilateral is Peter Sutherland, former European Commissionner, and former manager at Goldman Sachs; the vice-president of the Trilateral, Vladimir Dlouhy, former Czech Minister of Economy, is now adviser to Goldman Sachs for Eastern Europe. In other words ; the “experts” in charge of saving Europe from the crisis used to work for one of the banks directly responsible for the sub-prime crisis in the United States. This doesn’t mean that there is a conspiracy to deliver Europe to Goldman Sachs, it only illustrates the oligarchic nature of the “experts” elite ruling the Union.
