Well that was quick: Italy is about to be acquainted with the old Asian saying that a "known devil is better then unknown angel", especially when the angel is a Prime and Finance minister (two for the austere price of one) working purely on the behalf of offshore banker interests. As Reuters and Corriere report, thousands of Italians took to the streets in several cities on Thursday to protest against what they called a "bankers' government" led by economist Mario Monti, and there were clashes with police. Students in Italy's financial capital Milan threw firecrackers at police trying to prevent them approaching the Bocconi university, which is chaired by Monti and has become a symbol for the new executive of technocrats he has formed to tackle Italy's debt crisis. Police responded by charging the students with batons. One journalist was injured by a firecracker, police sources said. The students also threw eggs and fake dollar banknotes at the building of the Italian banking association. "We don't want the banks to rule" and "Monti's government is not the solution," the students chanted." Well as long as it is only the students who feel this way, all is well. If, however, the anti-Monti sentiment is shared by more, which it is, then the technocratic government will be lucky to survive three weeks... forget 2013. And the greater the revulsion, the bigger the Stockholm Syndrome nostalgia for Berlusconi will be. If we were betting people, we would speculate that Silvio's chances for reelection are soaring with each passing minute....

      He is an unelected Goldman Sachs plant. How can you even say he isn't that bad? Do you know anything about corrupt U.S. Banking Institutions? Goldaman sachs has literally installed their puppets in two European countries as result of this crises already. I suspect france will be next as sarkozy is forced out and a new unelected technocrat is installed.

    • Aside from being unelected, not even a member of Italy's Parliament or government, let's have a look at the resume of the technocrat that the EU installed as Italy's Prime Minister.

      Mario Monti's Resume:

      Monti is a member of the Presiderium of the Friends of Europe, a leading European think tank, was the first chairman of Bruegel, an European think tank founded in 2005. He is the European Chairman of the Trilateral Commission, a think tank founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller.[10] He is also a leading member of the infamous economic lodge called Bilderberg Group.[11]

      Monti is an international adviser to Goldman Sachs and The Coca-Cola Company.[12]
