This created an artificial economic boom.<br \/>\n\u2022 The rest of Europe had the same interest rate during this period, but had no boom because of restricted credit creation.<br \/>\n\u2022 We bought the overpriced houses and borrowed to set up businesses to service the unsustainable demand of an artificial boom.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">The Balloon bursts; the ECB claw-back!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u2022 The ECB then withdrew the supply of credit; creating the bust. The stranglehold of credit restriction was not released until fiscal and budgeting powers were handed over to the EU.<br \/>\n\u2022 Businesses failed leaving a giant sinkhole of debt, a sizeable portion of the Irish public and private sector debt burden which peaked at \u20ac430bn.<br \/>\n\u2022 The grossly overpriced mortgages taken out in this manufactured boom were securitised (repackaged for sale by the banks).<br \/>\n\u2022 In Ireland banks were bailed out with \u20ac73bn of tax-payers money.<br \/>\n\u2022 Now the Bailed-out banks are taking people\u2019s homes, and seek to recoup the fictitious equity that was created in the ECB-manufactured boom. The banks are backed by a complicit judicial system and uninformed, compromised politicians.<br \/>\n\u2022 The ECB is unelected, unaccountable and unregulated. It is a breach of the Maastricht treaty to even attempt to influence their actions.<br \/>\n\u2022 The EC, an unelected group whose aim is to build a United States of Europe, has a vested interest in weakening individual Governments and the influence of the elected democratic parliaments of Europe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Information mainly from the work of Prof Richard Werner and \u2018The Princes of the Yen &#8211; Central Bank Truth Documentary\u2019 (Freely available on youtube.)<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Similar deception continues today; mainstream news is the establishment\u2019s propaganda.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">GD\/edit, JG 29-3-15<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Linkedin\",\"Reddit\",\"Email\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"IrlPublicBanks\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"%E2%80%98Our%E2%80%99%20Celtic%20Tiger%20or%20the%20ECB%E2%80%99s%20Balloon%3F\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Our\u2019 Celtic Tiger or the ECB\u2019s Balloon? \u2022 Enabling the transfer of the fiscal and budgeting powers of Ireland, Greece,<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Linkedin\",\"Reddit\",\"Email\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"IrlPublicBanks\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"%E2%80%98Our%E2%80%99%20Celtic%20Tiger%20or%20the%20ECB%E2%80%99s%20Balloon%3F\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/republicirelandbank.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/789","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/republicirelandbank.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/republicirelandbank.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/republicirelandbank.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/republicirelandbank.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=789"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/republicirelandbank.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/789\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1130,"href":"https:\/\/republicirelandbank.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/789\/revisions\/1130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/republicirelandbank.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=789"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/republicirelandbank.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=789"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/republicirelandbank.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=789"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
