Ghosts of World War II and the Greek Economic Crisis

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ February 6, 2015 ⋅ Post a comment

In FTR #746 and FTR #788, we ana­lyzed the Greek eco­nom­ic cri­sis, the EMU and “Clause­witz­ian Eco­nom­ics.” As Greece and Ger­many square off fol­low­ing the elec­tion of a left-wing coali­tion gov­ern­ment in the for­mer, the ghosts of World War II are mate­ri­al­iz­ing in fright­en­ing and dra­mat­ic fash­ion. The new Greek finance min­is­ter has not­ed the rise of Nazism in Greece as a result of the eco­nom­ic and social depri­va­tion stem­ming from the aus­ter­i­ty doc­trine. There also remains the pos­si­bil­i­ty of rais­ing the specter of Ger­many’s unpaid World War II debt to Greece, there­by cit­ing the eco­nom­ic and polit­i­cal dynam­ics inher­ent in the Bor­mann cap­i­tal net­work, about which we speak so often.

Germany’s Debt is More than Double that of Greece’s!

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ January 28, 2015 ⋅ Post a comment

A recent arti­cle in Forbes under­scores the flawed account­ing under­ly­ing the lethal fis­cal pol­i­cy imposed on the cit­i­zens of the “cra­dle of democ­ra­cy.” An uncon­ven­tion­al account­ing method has been used to cal­cu­late that Greek debt is 175% of GDP, the sta­tis­ti­cal foun­da­tion for the crush­ing aus­ter­i­ty that afflicts that coun­try. In fact, it is 18%, when cal­cu­lat­ed using the stan­dard “Ipsas” account­ing method. Ger­many’s on the oth­er hand, is 46%, when cal­cu­lat­ed under that stan­dard!

FTR #802 The Luxembourg Connection (What the Hell Does Dave Emory Mean by “Underground Reich?” Part 2)

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 13, 2014 ⋅ 3 comments

This broad­cast illus­trates the deep polit­i­cal rela­tion­ships that evolved from the Third Reich’s for­mal mil­i­tary occu­pa­tion of Europe. These rela­tion­ships are inex­tri­ca­bly linked with the remark­able and dead­ly Bor­mann cap­i­tal net­work that forms the basis of much of Mr. Emory’s ana­lyt­i­cal par­a­digm. Tak­en in con­cert, they help to illus­trate what Mr. Emory means by “Under­ground Reich.” Angela Merkel’s selec­tion of aus­ter­i­ty advo­cate Jean-Claude Junck­er as Pres­i­dent of the Euro­pean Union Com­mis­sion will see a long-time Ger­man ally and son of a Wehrma­cht com­bat­ant ascend to the pin­na­cle of EU gov­er­nor­ship. The con­nec­tions dom­i­nat­ing the back­ground and char­ac­ter of the Ger­manophile Junck­er track back to the Nazi occu­pa­tion of Lux­em­bourg dur­ing World War II and car­tel con­nec­tions that facil­i­tat­ed the Third Reich’s amoe­ba-like absorp­tion of the Euro­pean econ­o­my. Dur­ing the Nazi occu­pa­tion, Lux­em­bourg’s econ­o­my was fold­ed into “Europa Ger­man­i­ca,” with Gus­tav Koenigs, Chair­man of the Bush-Fam­i­ly linked Ham­burg-Ameri­ka Line and Sec­re­tary of State of the Third Reich over­see­ing the steel car­tel ARBED and much of Lux­em­bourg’s oth­er busi­ness. After the war, Lux­em­bourg con­tin­ued to be a pri­ma­ry ele­ment of the Bor­mann cap­i­tal net­work.


“Fascionable” Again in Europe

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ June 10, 2014 ⋅ 29 comments

We’ve told you so–over and over and (present-par­tici­ple, exple­tive delet­ed) over again! Fas­cism is descend­ing over much of the world. In Europe, the eco­nom­ic con­di­tions deriv­ing from the Euro-aus­ter­i­ty doc­trine man­dat­ed by Ger­many are bear­ing fruit sim­i­lar to the har­vest of the 1930’s brought about by the Great Depres­sion.


FTR #788 Greek Tragedy, Part 2: “Clausewitzian Economics–The Continuation of War by Other Means”

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ April 13, 2014 ⋅ 32 comments

This pro­gram details the hor­ri­fy­ing devel­op­ments unfold­ing in Greece. Embody­ing Carl von Clause­witz’s con­cept of “pol­i­tics as a con­tin­u­a­tion of war by oth­er means,” Greece is a cru­el and depress­ing exam­ple of the long-stand­ing strat­e­gy of German/Underground Reich geopol­i­tics. Real­iz­ing a strat­e­gy for Ger­man polit­i­cal dom­i­na­tion of Europe and the world, the EU and EMU are direct man­i­fes­ta­tions of the strat­e­gy first advo­cat­ed by Friedrich List in the 19th cen­tu­ry.


Romano Prodi Calls for a “Latin Front” to Oppose German Domination of Europe

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ November 16, 2013 ⋅ 3 comments

The U.S. Depart­ment of the Trea­sury, Paul Krug­man and a grow­ing cho­rus of Euro­pean voic­es are not­ing Ger­many’s eco­nom­ic poli­cies as being bru­tal­ly restric­tive toward oth­er Euro­pean coun­tries and the world as a whole. Now, for­mer Ital­ian Prime Min­is­ter Romano Pro­di has issued a call for a “Latin Front” to open­ly oppose Ger­man pol­i­cy.


Is a “Deep Falange” at Work in Spain and Argentina?

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ August 17, 2013 ⋅ 3 comments

Eco­nom­i­cal­ly beset Spain is wax­ing aggres­sive toward British-gov­erned Gibral­tar, using that prin­ci­pal­i­ty’s “fis­cal irreg­u­lar­i­ties” as jus­ti­fi­ca­tion because of the nation’s “EU oblig­a­tions.” The Rajoy gov­ern­ment is coor­di­nat­ing its efforts with Argenti­na. The coop­er­a­tion is mil­i­tary, as well as polit­i­cal. Rajoy’s Peo­ple’s Par­ty evolved from Fran­co’s Falange. It does not appear to have alto­geth­er shed its fas­cist her­itage.


Telling It like It Is: VERY Powerful, Accurate Words from Former Moody’s Vice-Chairman about German “Clausewitzian” Economic Policy toward Europe

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 27, 2013 ⋅ 4 comments

For those who con­sid­er our analy­sis to be extreme and man­i­fest­ing hyper­bole, we present a dev­as­tat­ing cri­tique of Ger­man EMU pol­i­cy vis a vis the periph­er­al economies of the euro­zone. Dis­cussing Cyprus as exem­plary of Ger­man method­ol­o­gy and intent, Christo­pher T. Mahoney–a for­mer Vice Chair­man of Moody’s–couches his cri­tique in alto­geth­er unam­bigu­ous lan­guage.


“Clausewitzian” Health Care: Austeritywitz in Greece

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 25, 2013 ⋅ 7 comments

We con­tin­ue our cov­er­age of the real­i­ty of “aus­ter­i­ty” in Greece, man­dat­ed by the Ger­man-dom­i­nat­ed EU. With Ger­man banks hav­ing pre­cip­i­tat­ed the Euro­zone cri­sis, the post­script is clas­sic “war by oth­er means,” as pre­scribed by Pruss­ian mil­i­tary the­o­reti­cian Carl von Clause­witz. The Ger­man-dom­i­nat­ed Troi­ka installed the fas­cist LAOS par­ty in Greece, with no input from the cit­i­zens of that country–the cra­dle of democ­ra­cy. Hav­ing assumed con­trol of Greece’s health care sys­tem, Ger­man prof­it-dri­ven insti­tu­tions are insti­tut­ing dra­con­ian mea­sures, result­ing in–among oth­er things–A 40% INCREASE IN INFANT MORTALITY!


So It Begins, Part 2: Bertelsmann Occupies Town in Yorkshire (Sit Down Before You Read This)

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 10, 2013 ⋅ 3 comments

The U.S. and the EU are pro­ceed­ing for­ward in talks to estab­lish the world’s largest free trade zone–an eco­nom­ic NATO. IF the agree­ment evolves along the lines of the Unit­ed King­dom’s inclu­sion in EU legal reg­u­la­to­ry machin­ery, we may see some­thing akin to the Ber­tels­mann cor­po­ra­tion’s assump­tion of gov­ern­men­tal con­trol of a munic­i­pal dis­trict in York­shire, in the UK.! The world’s largest pub­lish­er, Ber­tels­mann was the pub­lish­er for the SS in World War II and gives every indi­ca­tion of retain­ing its Nazi char­ac­ter.
