The Fall of the Confederation of European States (AKA European Union)

So Greece (the body politic) is teetering on economic collapse.  Mark my words, there is probably a thriving black economy that is operating under the radar.  Keep in mind that it is the body politic - the assertion of a few of the right to collect from the many - that is falling apart.  Unfortunately, this collapse brings with it an even greater danger - that of creating a more perfect union.

Never a more devious motive has been covered by such soothing rhetoric.  The turmoil that presents itself now will be seen by a powerful few as a perfect opportunity to grab for power.  And loot.  The creation of a pan-European super-state, with the power to tax the minions into oblivion, and enslave their offspring into debt serfdom.  This is possibly the beginning of the United States of Europe.
