IF THIS EXISTS JUST TO MOVE MONEY WHY DOES IT NEED BLANKET IMMUNITY FROM THE LAW?

I wonder if this is going to be used as part of their child trafficking. Having premises that can't be searched or wiretapped would certainly make things easier.

Its basically a hidden central bank / extremely huge slush fund for bailouts (500 bn € maximum lending volume as of 2012) in order to keep the Euro alive.

EUSSR in action. Sad!

Because Germans might try to hold on to their money.

Skimming through it provides a good idea of the treaty. Learn how to read, nigger.
Seems like it's an attempt at saving the EU when the crash comes, while also giving (((them))) near-total control of EU funds. Simplify it for normies, and spread it, lads. This shit cannot go through.
