European Union legalised robbers.

Hereabouts we are plagued by thieves robbing our heating oil ( that is if we can afford to buy it.).Everybody ,especially the rural isolated,are advised not to keep cash at home but to place it in the safety of a bank.It was bad enough to put it there knowing that the Revenue could lift it from your account if they decided they were owed money.
Now the European Union is resorting to legalised theft from the bank  accounts of the people of Cyprus.Elected thieves lining up the booty for their outlaw buddies.No difference in principle ,just method.
And then we have the obscenity of  our Government,spurned on by our Central Bank driving our Banks and others to evict our people from our homes.
Not happy to destroy our banking system and load our foreseeable descendants with insurmountable debt ,the responsible institutions are now in the process of destroying the Credit Union movement less it rescue us from the clutches of the moneylenders ,where they want us to be to keep us on our bellies.
Whether she meant it or not  and I would assume not,the performance of Josephine Feehily.Chair of the Revenue on national television  was threatening and chilling. The amount of power the Revenue  and every other Government Dept. and Quango have accumulated over the citizenry if frightening .She has more powers at her disposal than any other person or institution in the State in my view  .And I include the judiciary in this.
This is not her fault.The legislators have granted all these powers to her.The politicians don't want the responsibility of exercising these powers themselves as it would affect them in the ballot boxes.
It is unprecedented for the Chair of the Revenue and indeed the Secretary General  of the Dept.of Finance to publicly endorse Government policy so enthusiastically.They ought steer clear of politics unless they want to become part of the political machinery and put themselves up for election.
As a former Revenue employee, who  stumbled lately on  the fact that the Revenue were enforcers for Cromwell in his campaign of genocide in this Country,I am not enamoured at all.
But have no doubt about it,the civil servants will implement the policies of their political masters if they can at all.
It is high time that the E.Union be either reformed root and branch from the ground up or be disbanded entirely before we are all ground down under the armies of political jackbooted bullies who run the show.
