The German sado-monetarists seek to destroy the EU!

... unless they are indeed sociopaths in constant denial


It may sound unbelievable, but it's true. A few days after Brexit, the German sado-monetarists with the Minister of Finance, Wolfgang Schäuble, in the front line, demand stricter fiscal discipline by the EU members!

As Reuters reported:

Stricter budget rules for European Union states and a downsized European Commission are part of a post-Brexit reform plan for the bloc drafted by aides for German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, the Handelsblatt daily reported on Wednesday.

The plan for Schaeuble, whose austere approach to public finances has resulted in a balanced budget in Germany for the first time since 1969, will almost certainly face resistance from France and Italy, who prefer borrowing to stimulate their economies.

"Member states should not be discharged from their responsibilities to ensure stable budgets and growth-friendly structural reforms," Handelsblatt quoted the German experts as saying in the reform proposals.

Furthermore, according to the same report: “... one suggestion in the plan was to downsize the European Commission, which has faced criticism for its extensive bureaucracy. It gave no further details.

The lunacy of the technocrats is beyond any doubt. There is no other explanation: either they are indeed dangerous sociopaths in constant denial, completely blind and unable to see the oncoming disaster, or, they want really to end the current EU/eurozone Frankenstein project.

How else someone could explain that inside this absolute disaster by the austerity and the fiscal discipline policies in most of the EU area and especially in the eurozone, the German "pundits" demand more sado-monetarism? How else could explain that they act as if there was no Brexit at all, pretending at the same time that they are not seeing others who want to escape from the euro-monster?

Yet, this last suggestion about "downsize the European Commission", probably exposes their panic and attempt to keep the German hegemony through further restriction of democratic procedures. A smaller German-occupied Commission would form a more anti-democratic EU, which the lobbyists and especially the German economic oligarchy will control totally. This shows that the German oligarchy will try to balance the loss of the UK by taking more power inside the EU feudal area.

However, this could become the definite gravestone for the current monstrous neoliberal EU. Nationalists and Far-Right eurosceptics are rising everywhere, seeing already a German-dominated Europe. Therefore we end up to the only possible explanation ... again: the German sado-monetarists seek to destroy the EU!

Indeed, Schaeuble continues to provoke, playing with fire. From WSJ : “... Mr. Schäuble clarified his comments to the reporters that were present. 'The Portuguese don’t want it [a new bailout program]. They also don’t need it, if they stick to the rules,' he said. [...] In Portugal, where Mr. Schäuble’s comments were subsequently broadcast, caused outrage among journalists and commentators. 'It isn’t enough that he corrects or clarifies the words that were said; he should apologize to the country,' daily newspaper Público demanded.

And all these, despite the fact that the IMF, this time, openly warned about the ready-to-explode German banking mega-bomb. From ZeroHedge : “... three years later, when not only did Deutsche Bank just flunk the Fed's stress test for the second year in a row, but moments ago in a far more damning analysis, none other than the IMF disclosed that Deutsche Bank poses the greatest systemic risk to the global financial system, explicitly stating that the German bank 'appears to be the most important net contributor to systemic risks.'

There you go: this is the recipe of perfect disaster, yet the German sociopaths together with Brussels bureaufascists insist on strict fiscal discipline from the member-states, even from totally devastated economies (because of their policies), like the Greek one! So, really, how would you explain it?

Trump's attempt to divide Russia & China is failing, badly

Geopolitical Economy Report   Donald Trump claimed he would "un-unite" Russia and China, but the US divide-and-conquer strategy is failing. In a meeting in Moscow celebrating the 80th anniversary of their nations' victory in World War Two, Presidents Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin reaffirmed that "China-Russia relations have reached the highest level in history" and will "jointly resist any attempts to interfere with and disrupt the traditional friendship and deep mutual trust between China and Russia". Ben Norton explains.     Related:   Why China supports Russia

Protesters Stalk & Confront Israeli Minister Through NY Streets!

The Jimmy Dore Show   Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who is also a convicted terrorist and Jewish supremacist, has been touring the US, speaking on college campuses and meeting with political groups, and he even traveled to Mar-a-Lago. His visit has been met with widespread protests, however. Ben Gvir was confronted by pro-Palestinian demonstrators in New Haven, Connecticut, following a speech he gave at Shabtai, a private Jewish society at Yale that’s not officially affiliated with the university. Jimmy Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Ben-Gvir’s security detail was able to assault protesters with impunity — and that in fact police officers approach an assaulted protester to demand that he step away from Ben-Gvir’s group.

Το νέο ψευδοδίλημμα που κατασκεύασε το καθεστώς Μητσοτάκη για να κρατηθεί στην εξουσία

του system failure   Ένα από τα βασικά χαρακτηριστικά ενός καθεστώτος, είναι η έκδηλη αγωνία του να διατηρήσει την εξουσία. Ως απόρροια αυτής της προσπάθειας, είναι και ο σχεδόν απόλυτος έλεγχος της μαζικής (παρα)πληροφόρησης, δηλαδή, ότι ακριβώς κάνει το καθεστώς Μητσοτάκη.   Η αγωνία αυτή είναι φανερή και σε άλλους καθεστωτικούς μηχανισμούς, όπως οι εταιρίες δημοσκοπήσεων, που πασχίζουν να εμφανίσουν μια εικόνα ανάκαμψης για το καθεστώς, προκειμένου να διαμορφώσουν, ως συνήθως, το επιθυμητό κλίμα. Τελευταία, τα καθεστωτικά προπαγανδιστικά φερέφωνα, έχουν κατασκευάσει ένα νέο ψευδοδίλημμα, στοχεύοντας τον μέσο Έλληνα ψηφοφόρο και την ανάγκη του να νιώσει ασφάλεια, σε όλα τα επίπεδα.  Και για να συμβεί αυτό, έπρεπε προηγουμένως να κατασκευάσουν ένα ανερχόμενο αντίπαλο δέος απέναντι στον Μητσοτάκη, που όμως θα τρόμαζε τους, επιρρεπείς στις απότομες πολιτικές αλλαγές, "νοικοκυραίους". Και το βρήκαν στο πρόσωπο της Ζωης Κωνσταντοπούλου και την Πλεύση Ελευθερίας. Είναι σ...

From the United States to Europe, Criticizing Israel Is Becoming a Crime

by Kit Klarenberg     Part 2 - ‘Drastic Rise’   In a grave testament to the speed with which U.S.-based pro-Israel organizations, including several prominent Jewish advocacy groups, sought to capitalize on October 7 for their own purposes, two-and-a-half weeks after Palestinian fighters breached Gaza’s infamous apartheid walls, Republican lawmaker Mike Lawler proposed H.R. 6090, also known as the Antisemitism Awareness Act. Lawler is a major recipient of Israeli lobby funds, with the influential lobbying group AIPAC gifting him $392,669 in 2023 and 2024 alone, his largest donor by some margin. His bill would require the Department of Education to consider the highly controversial International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism (which critics argue conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism) when determining if cases of harassment are motivated by antisemitism, raising concerns that it would violate the intent of Title VI of the...

From the United States to Europe, Criticizing Israel Is Becoming a Crime

by Kit Klarenberg     Part 3 - ‘Targeting Critics’   Such brazen pro-Israeli lawfare is a longstanding tradition in modern American politics. In 1977, two amendments to the Export Administration Act and the U.S. Tax Code were passed. In theory, they prohibited U.S. citizens and companies from complying with foreign boycotts against any country considered “friendly” to Washington. In reality, it was specifically intended to counteract the long-running embargo of Israel by the Arab League. Most U.S. allies adopted the prohibition, in some cases ironically damaging their relations with Israel. Then in 1987, Ronald Reagan designated the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)—at the time recognized almost universally as the Palestinian people’s legitimate representatives—a terrorist entity, but enacted a waiver the next year permitting “contact” between White House officials and the group. This fudge meant the Organization was forced to shut down its D.C. office and cease mo...

Is US dollar dominance at risk?

Al Jazeera English   The greenback has depreciated against other major currencies since Donald Trump's inauguration in January. Investors are worried that Trump's tariffs could cause a recession in the United States, and they have rushed to the exit. Is the president bothered? Trump appears to be of two minds when it comes to his nation's currency. He wants a dominant dollar because it gives the US geopolitical leverage. But, he says, a weaker greenback spurs US manufacturing. Some economists say the president could devalue the dollar. His team has backed the idea of a "Mar-a-Lago Accord" to weaken it. BRICS countries are also decreasing their reliance on the dollar.    Related: Trump's tariffs: A unique opportunity for BRICS and the Global South to fully escape from dollar tyranny
