How Austerity Kills (The Continuation of War by Other Means, Part 2)

In past posts, we’ve ana­lyzed the “aus­ter­ity” being imposed by Ger­many on the poorer coun­tries of Europe against the back­ground of the the­o­ries of Pruss­ian mil­i­tary the­o­reti­cian Carl von Clause­witz. A recent op-ed piece in the New York Times illus­trates this analy­sis very clearly.


Is Germany Using North Korea to Destabilize Asia and the US? (One Heckuva Conspiracy Theory)

TIMELINE–November, 2012: Germany’s for­eign min­is­ter encour­ages the U.S. to embrace both a “Trans-Atlantic” free trade pact and German-dictated “aus­ter­ity.” Jan­u­ary, 2013: Fol­low­ing Obama’s pivot to Asia, Ger­man lawyers and econ­o­mists decamp to North Korea, in the wake of a her­alded “eco­nomic and polit­i­cal open­ing to South Korea and the West.” Early spring, 2013: the Hitler-influenced Asian nation’s leader does just the opposite.


Not with a Bang, but a Whimper . . . .

In Europe, the nation-state is being forced into obso­les­cence, and there is lit­tle dis­cus­sion of this stag­ger­ing devel­op­ment. Angela Merkel has for­mally stated that EU mem­bers must be ready to sur­ren­der sov­er­eignty on fis­cal mat­ters.
Europol, its police force, has suc­cess­fully taken a num­ber of steps that many would see as intru­sive, with lit­tle or no real appli­ca­tion to law enforcement.


Deutsche Bank and the Financial Meltdown

It is impor­tant to under­stand that Ger­man banks are any­thing but blame­less in the Euro­pean finan­cial cri­sis. Deutsche Bank car­ried a large amount of bad debt on its books and lied about it in order to fool investors. In 2007, the Fed­eral Reserve had to help bailout Deutsche Bank. The U.S. sued Deutsche Bank over its manip­u­la­tion of the Amer­i­can mort­gage market.


German Banks and the Eurozone Crisis

Ger­man banks were fun­da­men­tally involved in pump­ing the cap­i­tal into the now-troubled Euro­zone economies than oth­ers, despite lies to the con­trary. In addi­tion, they have been using Germany’s bailouts to shore up their own bal­ance sheets. Ger­man finance is prin­ci­pally respon­si­ble for this cri­sis. Cur­rently hold­ing the world econ­omy hostage in order to dis­solve the polit­i­cal sov­er­eignty of Euro­pean nations, Ger­many is attempt­ing to real­ize the goals of the Third Reich.


“Austerity” Equals Fascism, Part 2: A Kindler, Gentler T-4 Program

Obama’s polit­i­cal fate may well be deter­mined in Europe by Ger­many. In Ger­man press, Rom­ney cam­paign pro­mot­ing Merkel’s eco­nomic doc­trine in oppo­si­tion to Obama. Will Rom­ney be empow­ered to do the U.S. what “aus­ter­ity” has done to much of Europe?


“Austerity” Equals Fascism, Part I: The Republicans are Nazis

Descended from political/economic inter­ests that sup­ported Hitler, tried to over­throw Franklin Roo­sevelt and did kill JFK, the GOP man­i­fests the her­itage of decades of covert oper­a­tions that brought Third Reich vet­er­ans into the Amer­i­can polit­i­cal main­stream. The upcom­ing elec­tion may deter­mine the fate of our civilization.


Update on the EMU/Euro as Vehicle for Conquering Europe, World

Euro/EMU has beg­gared Europe, turn­ing the periph­eral Euro­pean coun­tries into Ger­man sub­or­di­nates. Will dis­so­lu­tion of Euro case a bank­ing cri­sis in Europe, just in time to col­lapse U.S. finan­cial sys­tem before the election?


Surprise, Surprise! “Occupiers” Tied to Ohio Bomb Plot

Ohio bomb plot­ters linked to “Occupy Cleve­land.” Are they agents-provacateurs/infiltrators? With indi­ca­tions of fascist/right wing ini­ti­a­tion of “Occupy” move­ment, might this have been intended from the beginning?


Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood Embraces Social Chaos

Mus­lim Broth­er­hood expresses rejec­tion of emer­gency IMF loan. The Egypt­ian econ­omy is in ter­ri­ble shape. Is the Ikhwan plan­ning to pre­cip­i­tate social chaos and imple­ment­ing fas­cism as a “solution”?
