Dateline: 1st December 2011
According to German Foreign Policy website (a usually reliable reflection of what is going on inside German Government circles, or the “German political class” as we refer to it in order to distinguish between that for ever scheming imperialist clique and the vast majority of Germans) Germany must be careful not to let the country’s increasing dominance of European affairs lead to arrogance and a domineering attitude. They must exhibit “modest reticence” so as not to provoke resistance!
According to the German elite British and French resentment of Germany’s dominance is down to those countries’ “wounded national pride”. Although how causing and having to pay for the disaster which is the Euro (with all the anti German resentment among their currency “partners”) makes Germany a “power” to be jealous of is hard to see.
We know that Germany deliberately provoked the economic crisis through the imposition of the Euro so as to accrue more central power over the nation states of Europe. The success of this plan can be seen (incredibly) in the words of the Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski who said on a visit to Germany that “I have less fear of German power than I have of a lack of German action”. The cynical German political class knew better than the trucculently democratic British that if the economic threat is great enough those whom you are destroying will kow tow politically and surrender constitutionally. (That is why the Irish surrendered to the Lisbon Treaty). We even see this fascist attitude in the British eurofanatics who claim that the Euro disaster will affect us therefore we need to surrender more to those who caused it!
Unfortunately their scheme has rebounded and is destroying the once proud German economy and any political credibility Germany might have enjoyed. The new “stability” mechanisms which Germany wishes the EU to impose on Euro-zone members (effectively running their economies, taxation and spending from Berlin) are so blatantly anti democratic and dictatorial that the reaction is spreading.
As the Greeks say “we are the victims of a pan European putsch” (Greek economic journal O Kosmos tou Ependiti) No wonder it reminds the Greeks of Nazi occupation during the war (reparations for which the Greek Government is still demanding in international courts) In Italy La Republica comments that “the way Germany is manipulating the EU is more and more unsettling”. “The Germans are dominating everything” writes Le Monde “we await their decisions with no influence on events” and accuses Germany of hegemony.
As we know Germany is trying to insist on more European Central Bank voting rights according to the size of national economies (so much for the “European ideal”!). So by merely refusing to rescue other Euro-zone countries from disaster economic events would give Germany ever more power to dictate.
German politicians are making no attempt to conceal their triumphalism. It was the Head of the CDU/CSU parliamentary faction Volker Kauder who said that “Now Europe speaks German”. (although even his words could only be understood by his new colonists by translating them into English!)
The German Institute for Foreign Policy has reproduced its 2002 analysis of the Eu as “a modern imperial system consisting of a strong centre with circles of more or less dependence” in which Germany must show “both modest reticence and strong powerful direction”
The Frankfurter Allgemeine wrote in a leading article referred to “leadership not dominance” although of course given the Teutonic dominance to which Germany has lead the Euro zone no one would want such a disastrous polity to lead any further.
