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?

A historical turning point has just occurred ... and it is not the Trump assassination attempt

globinfo freexchange   The biggest crime of our century, that is, the genocide of Palestinians by the Zionists has been almost forgotten. And while everyone is distracted by the war in Ukraine and the assassination attempt against Donald Trump, a development of historic proportions took place. The development either escaped from the corporate media radars in the West, or, deliberately ignored.   The integration of Russia's and India's payment systems marks the definite rejection of the Western SWIFT system, dominated by the US dollar, and the complete detachment of BRICS from this system.   As Kitco News reported recently:   The trend of de-dollarization continues to gain traction despite many analysts saying the threat is overblown as India and Russia have announced a new partnership that will see their respective payment systems – India’s RuPay and Russia’s MIR – integrated to allow for seamless cross-border transactions without the need for U.S. dollars.  The partner

Exposed: How Biden & Ukraine’s Fascists Worked Together to Block Peace with Russia

BreakThrough News   Newly released treaty negotiation documents show that Ukraine and Russia were very close to ending the war—more than two years ago, in April 2022. But U.S. imperialists and NATO have worked with and strengthened the right-wing in Ukraine to achieve their long-term goals in the region, including endless war, no matter how many people die. Brian Becker is joined by Eugene Puryear, co-host of The Freedom Side , to discuss the newly revealed documents showing how the Ukraine war nearly ended two years ago but were sabotaged by the intervention of the White House and the Ukrainian far-right. They discuss how Ukraine’s economy has been totally mortgaged to U.S. and European interests.

Israeli documents show expansive government effort to shape US discourse around Gaza war

As the Gaza war rages, Israeli funds target US college campuses and push to redefine antisemitism in US law   by Lee Fang and Jack Poulson   Part 3 - Substantial Israeli government involvement in American politics   Haaretz and the New York Times recently revealed that Chikli’s ministry had tapped a public relations firm to secretly pressure American lawmakers. The firm used hundreds of fake accounts posting pro-Israel or anti-Muslim content on X (formerly Twitter), Facebook and Instagram. (The diaspora affairs ministry denied involvement in the campaign, which reportedly provided about $2m to an Israeli firm for the social media posts.) But that effort is only one of many such campaigns coordinated by the ministry, which has received limited news coverage. The ministry of diaspora affairs and its partners compile weekly reports based on tips from pro-Israel US student groups, some of which receive funding from Israeli government sources . For example, Hillel International, a co-foun

The time has come for liberal capitalists to test their favorite puppet against Trump

Genocide Joe to be replaced by Kamala Harris   globinfo freexchange   Genocide Joe was originally the convenient pick of the liberal capitalists and his election was just a victorious battle for them in the ongoing capitalist civil war . Yet, everybody knew (and it was more than obvious), that old-Joe has now become a lost case for the corporate Democrats and their liberal wealthy donors.   After four years, the time has come for the liberal capitalists to test Kamala Harris against Trump.  The timing couldn't be more convenient. Especially after the Trump assassination attempt, it was certain that Genocide Joe was finished. The greatest demagogue and popular manipulator wouldn't let the opportunity go wasted. From the first moment, he took advantage of the incident and boosted his image as a political "anti-establishment" hero in the eyes of the conservative Americans. And after Biden's disastrous performances in various debates and public appearances, everyone k

Israeli documents show expansive government effort to shape US discourse around Gaza war

As the Gaza war rages, Israeli funds target US college campuses and push to redefine antisemitism in US law   by Lee Fang and Jack Poulson   Part 1 - Redefining antisemitism   Last November, just weeks into the war in Gaza, Amichai Chikli, a brash, 42-year-old Likud minister in the Israeli government, was called into the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, to brief lawmakers on what could be done about rising anti-war protests from young people across the United States, especially at elite universities. “ I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again now, that I think we should, especially in the United States, be on the offensive,” argued Chikli. Chikli has since led a targeted push to counter critics of Israel. The Guardian has uncovered evidence showing how Israel has relaunched a controversial entity as part of a broader public relations campaign to target US college campuses and redefine antisemitism in US law. Seconds after a smoke alarm subsided during the hearing, Chikli assured the l
