Berlin, Berlin nur Du Allein...

Berlin has become Europe's Financial and Economic HQ, there is not doubt about that anymore. In ancient times people consulted Oracles in order to obtain predictions about the future of affairs. Nowadays, Oracles have found their safe place in history books and any reference to them is made only in association to historical customs of the ancient civilizations. In a parallel comparison and a projection of the same concept today, one will easily conclude that the spirit is still omni-present, the only change is that modern Oracles are found accross the entire spectrum of public life and more often than not in the faces of politicians. In a recent commenting of the Greek case and the ongoing political turmoil in the country Mr. Schäuble openly predicted that the Greek PM Antonis Samaras is going to share the same political fate as his predecessor George Papandreou. And while the accuracy of predictions made by Oracles in ancient times was always linked to some sort of sacrifice to the Gods it appears that nowadays compliance with that requirement will have little to no bearing at all to the accuracy of an Oracle's prediction. Mr. Shäuble is no longer the "beta" version of an Oracle...you may bet your money on his predictions.
