European Union: A Bloc With Some Weak Leaders, Failed Their Citizens

The European Council of Foreign Relations conducted a 11,000 citizens’ poll in France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Bulgaria, Sweden, and Denmark. This was to ascertain their views of their countries’ ‘leaders’ performances as to CV-19; Their effete ‘leaders’ failed.

Beyond the mere typical ‘Bureaucratic Inefficiencies’ inherent in ‘Bloc Management’ designs, one may offer: “Weak ‘leaders’ perform weakly”. In one particular instance, a country ‘leader’ who is a ‘Chemist’ by education and career, performed miserably per the citizens of that country. Imagine, a “Chemist” not being able to fathom the potential severity of a virus! The country has some of the finest Bio-Chemical facilities in the world; The ‘leader’ could question personnel IMMEDIATELY for help. Acting ‘with strength’ would have been nice.

Some of the other countries ‘leaders’, being ‘Attorneys’ by education and career, are hardly guilty of not understanding the nuances of a: “Single-strand, RNA Virus” as is CV-19. The nuances of this virus may be beyond their intellectual grasp.

What ALL of the ‘leaders’ had in common was the governmental capacity to forthwith attack the on-coming problem with: funding, equipment, facilities, medical expertise, and will power; they all failed their citizens miserably [per the E.C.F.R. Poll].

As we have said many times: The number of ‘Strong World Leaders’ can be counted with the fingers on one’s hands; There are “World Leaders”, and there are Nations’ ‘leaders’, of which there are many.

Many people have perished to CV-19. People polled may think they chose the wrong individuals to direct their countries in this virus fight. Perhaps, in many cases, Attorneys who ‘morphed’ into ‘Politicians’, who ‘morphed’ into ‘leaders’ were the wrong choices of the citizenry. However, those citizens who have ‘passed’, do NOT get a chance of another vote; this for replacements of their weak ‘leaders’.

Reality: When selecting your country’s ‘leaders’, think twice before voting for those with ‘politicized’ “sizzle”. You may be making a fatal mistake.

☆ The “Cash Is King” Principle, Is Used By The Financially Astute, In Real Estate Purchases

News Analysis: Mr. Amancio Ortega Gaona, the Businessman of Renown of Spain, allegedly uses the: “Cash Is King” Principle In Real Estate Purchases. Across the Globe, reportedly, he has acquired Stellar Properties using Cash as his Incentive for Coy Sellers to sell properties to him he wants.  

Many Businessmen (especially in America)  use “Other Peoples’ Money” (OPM) to acquire Real Estate. Many of those of Humble Origins do this by selling Shares of their Stock, issuing Corporate Bonds, or other means such as Real Estate Investment Trust Certificates and the like to get money they DO NOT HAVE. It allows ‘Investors’ the privilege of letting “‘Humble Origin Others” obtain their “Hard Earned” Money and spend it as these NOW “Real Estate Financiers” decide: “The Blind Leading The Blind” many people say. Through Press Releases and Media Attention, the “Pot Grows like a Ponzi Scheme”, these ‘Financiers’ typically become “Patrons of the Arts” (it even sounds impressive).

The 2008 Real Estate Bubble , which these ‘Financial Geniuses’ did not foresee is an example of their Collective Ignorance, people say. The present “Stock Market Bubble” is indicative that the “Blind” have not learned the lesson of 2008 Real Estate.

Real Estate is Mainly Based on the universal “Greater Sucker Principle”: Buy property and hold onto it until a ‘Greater Sucker’ comes along that will pay your Higher Asking Price, then ‘Dump It’ on them.

Since Real Estate can be rated using a plethora of Judgment Scales as to ‘Worth’, “Actual Value” is typically a “Financial Hologram” (committed to strenuously by those who do not know any better) some Economists think.

One can expect Real Estate Brokers and Property Owners to be most receptive to Astute Mr. Gaona since he obviously holds the “Keys to the Kingdom”: Cash (Instant Liquidity); It gives him Bona fides, few other “Stock Certificate Holding ‘Billionaires'” can match.

Reality.

Cork Oak Tree Forestation Monitoring Sought for Wine Industry

Real Estate Visas for Southern European Properties Increase in Popularity

News Analysis:  Real Estate Visas for Southern European Properties Increase in Popularity. Greece, Malta, Portugal, and Spain are currently the leaders in this ‘Real Estate Investment For A Visa’ Plan. The Idea promotes Inflows of Currency into a Country while giving Purchasers possible future Permanent Residency Status. Additional income to a Country derives from Property Taxes which the Visa Seeker must pay annually.

A Visa Seeker must employ Due Diligence in reviewing Countries of Interest beyond the Visa Plan and also into their Real Estate Laws and the like.

Let The Buyer Beware.

Spain Appraised of Potential Tsunami Havoc

News Analysis:  The results of Seismic activity in the Atlantic Ocean,  or to a lessen extent in the Mediterranean Sea, causes concern about resultant Water-Energy Damage to the country. The good news is that Spaniards and their Government can take counter-measures presently, to negate future damage. As a point of reference, beyond the tragedy of the tsunami in Indonesia in 2004, one should consider the American “Hurricane Sandy” debacle which took place. Both New Jersey and New York, as well as United States Government officials, were not prepared for it [even though a probability for it existed, due to global weather changes of which they knew]. Subsequent to the event occurring, and up to the present, there has been an abysmal failure of leadership. For example, U.S. Federal Monies, given to support banks in 2008, some of which could  have been set aside for havocs like “Hurricane Sandy”. The lack of “Rainy Day Funds” at the Federal and State level, has now hurt the very citizens the officials vowed to protect. The affected areas still need billions of promised dollars.

Tsunamis AND severe storms must be considered by the Spanish Government so it moves pro-actively to help its citizens. It should not want to copy the  approach conducted by American Federal and State Leaders.
