Total Chaos

S.O.S. – Message to Jean-Claude Trichet, president of the European Central Bank.(ECB)
The dollar regime is engineering total chaos.
How come, funding costs are spiralling, when interest rates are crashing?
Jean-Claude, m’entends-tu?
The contradiction is in the title on the Financial Times web front-page in Europe today :
Companies face spiralling funding costs
Spreads in bond markets at historic highs

Ivo;
It is impossible to be and not to be at the same time and in the same respect, taught Aristotle.
This he called the Principle of Non-Contradiction (PNC)
Reality is not submitted to the PNC.
Human thought is however submitted to the PNC.

Contrairement à ce qu’affirment beaucoup d’auteurs, ces principes [the principle of non-contradiction, the law of the excluded-middle and the law of identity] sont des lois logiques ou des lois de pensée comme telle et non des lois de l’ordre réel.
Oui, Jean-Claude, pour toi, jeudi!
(The ECB has an interest rate meeting on Thursday)
Try to think on Thursday.
Don’t say like René Descartes (1594 – 1650), “Je pense, donc je suis”, “I think, therefore I am”.
But say: “ I am (confronted with this problem) THEREFORE I shall think about the way to solve it.”
I know it is difficult for a Frenchman to depart from Descartes, but please try.

Leading European companies are facing spiralling funding costs in the bond markets as banks rein in lending, raising concerns about the impact on earnings.
Over the past month European companies including National Grid and Daimler sold more than €23bn of bonds, with nearly €11bn sold in the past week, making it one of the busiest in the bond markets this year, say data providers Dealogic.
