A colleague of Eddie the Friendly Spook [Snowden], Julian Assange and Glenn Greenwald, Kim Schmitz, aka “Kim Dotcom”] espouses the same libertarian/free market ideology underlying the “corporatism” of Benito Mussolini. With an extensive criminal record in Germany and elsewhere, “Der Dotcommandant” has eluded serious punishment for his offenses, including executing the largest insider trading scheme in German history.
Embraced by the file-sharing community and elements of the so-called progressive sector, Dotcom actually allied himself with John Banks and his far-right ACT Party in New Zealand. His embrace of the so-called progressive sector came later and is viewed as having damaged left-leaning parties at the polls. Dotcom is enamored of Nazi memorabilia and owns a rare, author-authographed copy of “Mein Kampf.”
Much of the second side of the program compares the “Divine, Theocratic” free-market economic theory of The Family and the corresponding ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood. Both see wealth and economic privilege as a matter of divine will, with that perceived will being the governing ethos of an ideal society.
In the long FTR series on L’Affaire Snowden, we noted that all of the players were outright fascists and/or exponents of corporatist economic theory. That includes Pierre Omidyar, Nazi fellow-traveler Glenn Greenwald’s financial angel and backer of First Look media. Touting the laissez-faire economics of the GOP and other corporatist elements around the world, Omidyar has also helped to finance the rise of fascist elements abroad, including assisting in the ascent of the OUN/B successor forces in the Ukraine, as well as Narendra Modi, heir to the RSS Hindu fascists that spawned his BJP. Julian Assange, his political idol Rand Paul, Rand Paul’s supporter Ralph Nader and Snowden himself all figure strongly into this unsavory political landscape.
Several Swoboda parliamentary deputies roughed up the director of the largest state TV station in Ukraine and forced his resignation–this because he broadcast excerpts of Putin’s speech about the annexation of Crimea. The assault was led by Ihor Miroshnychenko, the Deputy Chair of the parliamentary Committee on Freedom of Speech and Information! Like the U.S. media, the German media have been systematically misrepresenting Swoboda as something other than the fascist organization it clearly is. Much of the program deals with the nature of the so-called democratic opposition in Russia, about which we’ve heard so much caterwauling of late. In particular, the program highlights the true political cache of Alexei Navalny, recently featured as an op-ed writer in The New York Times.
Along with last week’s news of Germany’s record trade surplus, the opening of an EU investigation into Germany’s growing surpluses, and Europe’s other recent remarkable socioeconomic achievements, Angela Merkel urged the CDU to compromise on an across-the-board 8.50 euro German minimum wage. It’s great news because wage deflation is still part of the EU’s long-term agenda.
The program updates the Nazi and fascist connections of Julian Assange and the WikiLeaks milieu. After reviewing Assange’s links with Holocaust Denier Joran Jermas and WikiLeaks’ association with the PRQ server in Sweden, the broadcast notes the neo-Nazi infiltration of the Pirate Party in Germany. The fledgling WikiLeaks Party in Australia backed far-right and fascist parties instead of its Green Party backers. Julian Assange is a big fan of Ron and Rand Paul.
With last week’s Snowden-leak that the NSA can break a large amount of the encryption used across the web using a variety of backdoors and secret agreements with manufacturers, there’s now a push in Congress for legal restrictions on the use of these built in backdoors. Whether or not that happens, keep in mind that the custom-made backdoors are always going to be possibly open to any interested parties.
There are some big changes headed towards the internet but we don’t know what they are yet. And that probably won’t change any time soon. It’s a problem.
We continue to cover the obvious intelligence operation being conducted by Eddie “the Friendly Spook” Snowden (pictured in his youth at right.) His “op” has alienated the EU. It has also provided fodder for German propaganda against the U.S. and U.K. Germany may grant him asylum. Germany is said to be preparing criminal charges against American and British officials.
German policy elite are openly debating use of direct military intervention in Greece, “to prevent dictatorship”! The web site German Foreign Policy informs us of the military intervention scenario, presently being debated by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and Daniel Cohn-Bendit, a “leftist” veteran of the European New Left of the 1960s.
We can see what the elder George Bush might have called “a kinder, gentler” Reich–one which “prevents” dictatorship and chaos, following austerity measures designed to guarantee chaos.
German neo-Nazis going green. Third Reich had a similar orientation. Might the “eco-fascists” of the contemporary German political scene be able to attract the young or naive to their political agenda?
