LinkedInAbout two weeks ago, there was more strange news and moves from Germany. We'll get to that in a moment, but first, let's recall some background. The first factor is Germany's precarious position in the center of Europe, surrounded by...well, if history is any teacher, Germany is surrounded by sharks: France and England to the West, Italy, and at one time, Austria-Hungary to the South, Russia to the East, and at one time in its history, Sweden to the North. Prior to German unification under Prussia in 1871, the smaller German states, duchies, principalities and Free City-States merely … [Read more...]
CYPRUS: CLASH OF OLIGARCHIES AND GEOPOLITICS, PART THREE
March 25, 2013 By
Yesterday I left off in this mini-series of analysis of the Cyprus crisis by pointing out that the quiet player in the whole affair was Germany. And I indicated that this was where, once again, we will indulge in high octane speculation. But first, I want you to consider carefully the following highly intriguing article about the affair from The Daily Bell: Was the EU Right About Cyprus? And then consider that Germany's and the IMF's (that would be Wall Street, folks) initial call was for a much sharper fleecing of Cypriots: Germany And IMF's Initial Deposit Haircut Demand: 40% Of … [Read more...]
CYPRUS: CLASH OF OLIGARCHIES AND GEOPOLITICS, PART TWO
March 24, 2013 By
In yesterday's blog about the affair of the theft of Cypriots' savings by European banksters, I presented the basic thesis that the background is as much geopolitical as financial. In that context, it should come as no surprise that the Cyprus affair occurs as the West is bogged down in Syria, caught red-handed in support of extremist rebels who make the Assad regime look like a font of compassion and restraint. Syria, of course, is a necessary operation in the geopolitical sense, for it ill-behooves any potential military operations against Iran to have a strong ally of Russia positioned … [Read more...]
TIDBIT: FLASH! CYPRUS CAVES IN TO EU TECHNOCRATS
March 23, 2013 By
This just in courtesy of Ms. P.H. and a couple others of you who forwarded it to me... It appears the banksters are calling their theft a "tax" and it is 20% of all deposits in Cypriot banks over 100,000 euros... Theft is theft, folks, whether it be rich or poor. And note the propaganda meme being promoted: no other alternative to "hard choices," but there IS another choice: leave the EU... the Iceland solution: Cyprus, Troika agree to 20% tax on deposits over 100,000 euros at Bank of Cyprus … [Read more...]

MEANWHILE, IN EUROPE…
June 3, 2011 By
As we reach the end of this week, it would do well to notice another player in the realignment I've been sketching, the realignment that sees an unusual coalescence of China, Russia, Brazil, and India, the so-called BRIC powers. That player is, you guessed it, Germany. Ponder this article slowly and carefully, for it is a microcosm of why the post-war world that the US A so carefully crafted is coming to an end, and with it, the way of life we have become accustomed to in this country, unless our policy, and our leadership, become sane: Germany - the new Mini-Superpower While the article … [Read more...]
