High­light­ing the EU and EMU in the con­text of an impe­r­ial pan-Germanism, this pro­gram presents some impor­tant infor­ma­tion sup­ple­ment­ing past broad­casts on the subject.

1. Mys­te­ri­ous Canadian-German busi­ness­man Bern­hard Schreiber is the sub­ject of a new book, detail­ing his role in the sale of Air­bus jets to Air Canada. (“New Book Looks Deep Into ‘Air­bus’ Affair;” 4/9/2001.)

2. An extreme right-winger, who has been com­pared to P-2 Lodge Grand Mas­ter Licio Gelli, Schreiber main­tains that his rev­e­la­tions could threaten the Cana­dian polit­i­cal estab­lish­ment. (Idem.)

3. Cir­cum­stances sug­gest that Schreiber may very well be asso­ci­ated with the Bor­mann orga­ni­za­tion. The eco­nomic and polit­i­cal com­po­nent of a Third Reich gone under­ground, the Bor­mann orga­ni­za­tion con­trols cor­po­rate Ger­many and much of the rest of the world. (It was cre­ated and run by Mar­tin Bor­mann, the orga­ni­za­tional genius who was the “the power behind the throne” in Nazi Germany.)

4. Schreiber is a pri­mary player in the CDU fund­ing scan­dal that already threat­ens major polit­i­cal inter­ests in both Ger­many and France.

5. The CDU fund­ing scan­dal, in turn, has seri­ous impli­ca­tions for the German-dominated EU.

6. Next, the pro­gram details a German-brokered pro­posal to estab­lish a fed­eral gov­ern­men­tal struc­ture for the EU, some­thing viewed with con­sid­er­able alarm in France and the United King­dom. (“Alarm at Super­state Plan” by John Hooper and Patrick Win­tour; The Guardian; 4/30/2001.)

7. The broad­cast dis­cusses acqui­es­cence on the part of a num­ber of EU coun­tries con­cern­ing key points of EU gov­er­nance. Spain was among the coun­tries elect­ing to con­form to the Ger­man polit­i­cal will on sig­nif­i­cant points. (“Spain Backs Down to Ger­many over Aid” by Leslie Craw­ford and Haig Simon­ian; Finan­cial Times: 5/30/2001; p.2.)

8. France acceded to key Ger­man demands as well. (“Paris and Berlin Agree on New EU Mem­bers” by Robert Gra­ham and Haig Simon­ian; Finan­cial Times: 6/13/2001; p.2)

9. Ulti­mately, the EU voted in con­junc­tion with the essence of Ger­man demands, although some Ger­man pro­pos­als were resisted. (“Euro­pean Union in Pledge on Enlarge­ment” by Peter Nor­man; Finan­cial Times: 6/18/2001; p.1.)

10. In a move many have seen as indi­cat­ing a return to its impe­r­ial past, Ger­many has been mov­ing toward reclaim­ing the for­mer East Pruss­ian city of Kalin­ingrad (now, part of Rus­sia.) (“Ger­many in Secret Talks with Rus­sia to Take Back Konigs­berg;” Daily Tele­graph; 1/21/2001.)
