Welfare in the extreme

According to the report, the calls began in March, after the ECB's commpletely clueless and communications-challenged President Christine Lagarde, whose most recent "success" was crushing the reputation of the IMF which lost tens of billions in its latest "bailout" of Argentina, stunned traders by suggesting at a news conference that the central bank wouldn’t prop up Italy’s bond market. And since it is borderline illegal for a central banker to spark any selling, and since Italian stocks and bonds slumped after her comments, this sparked a panic at the ECB where hours later the chief economist, Philip Lane placed separate calls to 11 banks and investors in which he sought to "clarify" Lagarde's message.

Direct collusion with the debt cartel. And this is not the only example.  In the USA this is illegal, this is a Due Process violation.
