As the article suggests, the event was planned. This is just another staged media event. The men involved are mercenaries of some sort, paid by the CIA or Mossad or perhaps some branch of German intelligence itself. It wouldn't surprise me if it was the same crew of mercenaries that organized the color revolution in the Ukraine a couple of years ago.
It's evident that the same forces behind funneling the refugees into Europe are also behind stirring up the opposition against them. Chaos is the key to manipulating social change in the new world order. We are bounced from crisis to crisis and there is always some pressing emergency that requires an immediate knee-jerk reaction without any time to reflect.
Merkel is just the sacrificial cow in the process. They told her what to do and she did it and now they stage an event and she gets the blame.
That shows that she is nearing the end of her usefulness to them as a leader. They'll load her down with as much blame as possible before she leaves. That way the new puppet has a cleaner slate to work with.
The big push in Europe is to create a strong central government with an elected president like in the US. Just another step in stripping away the rights of citizens of the various member states.
It takes a supra-ordinate goal to unify former rivals. There has to be a pressing problem that can only be solved by unified action. Immigration into Europe is one such problem. It's being manipulated and used to bring about desired changes.
THEY do indeed. And THEY have lots of tricks up their sleeve.
THEY don't really care too much which puppet they use, as long as it doesn't try to think for itself. That's why they like to use people with all kinds of scandalous secrets to hide. They know they can be brought down in an instant if they don't obey.
Oh yes we really need a panel of private foreign Rothschild bankers to draw all the wealth out of our economy for us. It's what makes the dollar so strong and prevents us from going into debt.
CFR puppets like her are indeed above the law when they do what they are told. They may have to endure scandal but they won't do any jail time, no matter what they have done. They might even get an ig-Nobel prize or something.
But the climate IS changing Conrad. Yesterday it was clear and today its raining. If that's not sudden climate change I don't know what is. Let's get Al Gore to fix it.
Reminds me of Lee Harvey Oswald. They managed to come up with a photo of him holding a many months old copy of Pravda, carrying his Garcano rifle with a scope that officially had not yet been mounted on the gun and standing at an angle that defies gravity (provided that the fence posts and house were indeed vertical).
The obviously faked photo was used as "proof" that Oswald was a commie gun nut. Important in establishing the lone-nut theory of the assassination.
Photos that "say it all" are very suspect when it comes to political agendas like presidential assassinations or the nullification of constitutional rights.
This school shooting may very well be another Sandy Hoax.
Boy won't that PO the US? They invested billions in the Balkan war to obtain that protectorate in Kosovo, hoping to have a stranglehold on the entry of gas and oil pipelines into Southern Europe. And now Greece is helping Russia to circumvent that whole plan.
If Greece could accumulate enough hard income it could tell Europe to go to hell.
I bet Russia would be willing to pay for a couple of Naval bases in Greece as well. And perhaps a few anti-missile batteries. Of course that would mean Greece leaving NATO. But NATO isn't helping Greece in any way anyhow, and Russia certainly could.
Keynes gets blamed for an insane mentality that he never advocated.
Keynes economic philosophy was essentially this.
During boom years be very frugal. Save as much as possible for hard times.
During lean years, be more pro-active use the wealth that has been set aside to rekindle the economy.
So it's not really correct to say that the Boom years were "Keynes on steroids". During the boom years Keynes advice wasn't heeded at all. But when debt came knocking all the politicians (both supposed liberals and supposed conservatives) suddenly became Keynesian extremists, calling for the accumulation of more debt to supposedly fix the problem of debt. Like trying to dig yourself downward out of a hole.
For every euro spent there's both a merchant and a spender. For every euro lent there's both a debtor and a lender. How is it that the nations all end up so deep in debt? Who benefited from it all? We've never seem him yet.
The men behind the curtain, the wizards of this realm, Are not the politicians standing at the gilded helm. It's the faceless central bankers who make off with all the gold. And who profit from the souls of men which they have bought and sold.
As for that "economic rise" it's just depression in disguise. The Fed creates more money yet it's backed by nothing else but debt. So when such money hits the street it generates a little heat, but soon enough the debt comes due to be repaid with interest too. So in the end we're losing more, we wind up broker than before. The downward drift can only end when we produce more than we spend. But we are far away from that, a sinking ship is where we're at.
When the US sets up a puppet dictator, it's important that the majority of the people of the land hate the dictator. This keeps him closer to his US benefactors than to his own people.
Obscene extravagance in the face of widespread poverty is the surest way to accomplish this.
People in the US have very limited opportunity to hear anything other than the official lies. They are repeated endlessly by every available source, with minor variations to give the illusion of diversity of thought. Supposedly opposing viewpoints are voiced by obvious crackpots thereby reinforcing the prevailing delusion.
As for the supposed oil-glut. It's a manufactured illusion intended to hurt Russia. But it will backfire and hurt US energy companies even more.
Private US shale-oil production is only profitable if prices remain high. The government cannot and will not bail out the energy companies.
Like occurred with the Texas oil boom of the 1980s, the current shale oil industry will end up rusting away in the fields. Once the investors have been stung once, they will look elsewhere for their bonanza.
Russian oil is relatively cheap to extract. Russia can sit on its oil and sell it after US production dies off. They suffer presently but will gain in the end as US companies goes bust.
The situation also aligns Russian interests with those of OPEC nations. The oil countries are asking themselves whether Russia or the US would offer them the better deal as partners.
The US is in no position to occupy any more countries. If OPEC countries decide to switch camps and side with Russia and/or China, there's not much the US could do about it.
"“ Can you imagine what would happen to the dollar if China stopped supporting it?”"
"Government external debt not too important" you say.
You clearly suffer from acute American mania.
Foreign debt is not "government" debt. It is economic debt, currency debt.It's money owed. It cannot be ignored forever. It will have its effects. One way or the other.
When creditor countries accept to roll over due debt, the increasing interest must still be paid. The US is struggling to maintain interest payments. It is unable to even begin to pay off its actual debts.
Only China still supports the dollar, other creditors just tread water by collecting interest year after year.
The US economy is a sinking ship. It goes deeper into debt every day.
More monopoly dollars are printed up by the fed and loaned to the government to service the debt (repaid to the fed (with interest, of course) to keep things running. This ensures continual devaluation of the dollar.
In the past, the US used dirty tricks to maintain the dollar's value.
In the 70s, they lent money to poor countries but indexed the loans to the value of the dollar at the time of lending. Then the US went wild with overspending. The more they wasted, the more debtor countries had to pay back on their loans. The poorest people in the world ended up paying for the irresponsible good life in the US (and its wars).
What's more, since the entire world used the dollar as reserve currency (as per the Bretton Woods agreement at the end of WW2) the whole world was forced to support the dollar. The US had promised to maintain the gold standard and to keep the value of the dollar fixed at 35 dollars to the ounce.
When the US failed to keep its promises, the rest of the world actually paid for the high standard of living in the US.
Another scam revolved around conflict. The West intentionally set up Israel right in the Middle East and armed it to the teeth and allowed it to develop nuclear capability. As a result all countries in the region had to also engage in an arms race to protect themselves from Israel and from each other. This allowed the US to exert influence through arms and security agreements. Thus even more of the wealth of poor countries (that could have been used to improve the lives of their people) flowed into the US military industrial coffers.
And then, lets not forget energy. OPEC puppets were forced to accept only dollars for all energy transactions, so again nations were forced to support the dollar.
None of these scams work any more. Iraq, Syria and Iran began accepting Euros for oil years ago.
The US quickly found an excuse to topple and destroy Iraq, then created mercenary insurgents to attack Syria, Egypt, and Libya.
They would love to also destroy Iran. Thankfully China and Russia are there to prevent that.
Since the old scams don't work anymore the US and its gang of lackey nations are now trying to create a new globalist scam in which imaginary global crises are used to justify imposing control over sovereign nations by force. Any nation that doesn't submit is labelled as a rogue state and attacked by some sort of improvised coalition.
Meantime, the mega-rich elite maintain and strengthen their position by siphoning wealth out of the middle class in the homeland through wars and taxation to the point that soon there will be only the tiny, extremely rich ruling elite, masses of poor, and between them, a class of soldiers and police, armed to the teeth and controlled entirely by the elite.
Totalitarian economies always crumble, but it takes some time. I'd say the US (and G8) are well over half-way to meltdown. In fact the whole thing could cascade to ruin very quickly given even a small triggering event to get the snowball rolling.
