In the present
confrontation between Russia and the West over the Ukrainian crisis,
the image of the Cold War inevitably comes to mind and the media are
obviously fond of it. However, contrary to what it gives us to
understand, it’s not Russia that seeks the return of an iron
curtain but really the US. An iron curtain separating the old powers
and emerging nations; the world before and the world afterwards;
debtors and creditors. And this in the crazy hope of preserving the
American way of life and the US’ influence over “its” camp in
the absence of being able to impose it on the whole world. In other
words, go down with as many companions as possible to give the
impression of not sinking.
For the US, these are the current stakes in
fact: drag along the whole Western camp with them to be able to
continue dominating and trading with enough countries. So, we are
witnessing a formidable operation of turning round opinion and
leaders in Europe to ensure docile and understanding rulers
vis-à-vis the American boss, supported by a blitzkrieg to link them
permanently with the TTIP and to cut them off from what could be
their lifeline, namely the BRICS, their huge markets, their vibrant
future, their link with developing countries, etc. We are analyzing
all these aspects in this GEAB issue, as well as the subtle use of
the fear of deflation to convince Europeans to adopt US methods.
In the light of the extreme danger of these
methods used by the US, it goes without saying that leaving the US
ship wouldn’t be an act of betrayal by Europe, but really a major
step forward for the world as we have already extensively analyzed
in previous GEAB issues (1).
Unfortunately, the most reasonable European
leaders are completely paralyzed and the best strategy that they are
still capable of currently putting into effect, in the best case
scenario, seems to be simply to delay (2), certainly useful and
welcome but hardly sufficient…

LOWER THE MASKS
With the internet and “leak” type issues,
keeping a secret has become difficult for secret agents and
countries with dirty hands. Besides Snowden’s or WikiLeaks
disclosures, we have further learned recently that the US was behind
a social network in Cuba targeting the destabilization of the
government in power (3).
We have been able to watch this video
opportunely leaked on YouTube (4) showing the Americans at work
behind the coup d’état in the Ukraine. Or again, it would seem
that they are not innocent in Erdo?an’s current destabilization in
Turkey (5), a country whose situation we will go into in more detail
in the next GEAB issue (6)…
The masks are falling… certainly on the
evidence, but that nobody can ignore.
But the United States is no longer satisfied
with developing countries or banana republics… In Europe, they are
also managing to turn round the leaders one after the other, so that
they obediently follow American interests. It’s no longer “what’s
good for General Motors is good for America” as Charles Wilson
(former GM CEO) said in 1953, but “what’s good for the US is
good for Europe”. It already has Cameron, Rajoy, Barroso and
Ashton’s support… It has succeeded in getting Donald Tusk’s
Poland’s whilst he was strongly resistant at the beginning of his
term of office (7), Italy’s thanks to Renzi’s opportunist coup
d’état (8), and France’s Hollande/Valls thanks in particular to
a ministerial reshuffle and a Prime Minister little suspected of
anti-Americanism. Unlike the beginning of his term of office when he
played the independence card on Mali or on other fronts, François
Hollande seems to be completely submissive to the United States.
What pressure has been put on him? As for Germany, it’s still
resisting somewhat but for how long (9)? We will expand on these
remarks in the Telescope.
Europe is thus dragged towards US interests
that aren’t its own, neither in terms of politics, geopolitics, or
trade as we will see. Whilst the BRICS have chosen an opposite path
and are seeking to withdraw from the henceforth profoundly negative
influence of the US at any price, Europe is now being taken for a
ride. Evidenced, for example, by Belgium’s purchase of $130
billion worth of US Treasuries in three months from October 2013 to
January 2040 (latest figures available (10)), being at an annual
rate greater than its GDP (11)… It’s certainly not Belgium
itself which is responsible for this aberration, but Brussels of
course, that’s to say the EU as a little US soldier.
Politically Europe is stifled by the US which
can take heart in the absence of any leadership. And the way to
permanently seal this American stranglehold over Europe is called
the TTIP…
QUICK A TTIP
We have already amply documented it: unlike
the triumphant discussions of “recovery” based on rising real
estate prices and the stock exchange which is at its highest, the
real US economy is in dire straits. Food shortages are higher than
in Greece.

Shops, even good value ones, are closing
through lack of customers (12). Demand for real estate loans are at
their lowest, which bodes ill for what follows next and presages an
imminent reversal, as we anticipated in the GEAB n°81.
[...]
But as we have already said, this isn’t the
most important thing. The TTIP’s major stake is the Dollar’ s
preservation in trade and keeping Europe in the US’ lap in order
to avoid the constitution of a Euro-BRICS bloc able to
counterbalance the US.
Thus, the Ukrainian crisis, under the pretext
of Russian aggression and gas supply, is a good way, in the panic,
of imposing the US and the lobbies’ agenda in the face of European
leaders who are too weak to act. What wasn’t expected is that the
lobbies’ interests are not necessarily going in the direction one
thinks…

Following the US’ use of social networks in Cuba as previously
mentioned, it’s not surprising that Erdo?an decided to cut off
Twitter in Turkey. Moreover, Fethullah Gülen, founder of the Gülen
movement opposed to the Erdo?an government, lives in… the US.

6 A small digression: our team can’t help
thinking that if de Gaulle, so admired in France, were in power
today, he himself would also be considered as an autocrat to
overthrow, like Erdo?an or Putin… Effective leadership in the
interest of one’s country now seems to be considered incompatible
with democracy in its current form, which must be weak…
