GREEK PARLIAMENT PASSES DEBT AGREEMENT: OMITTED EURO – SOVEREIGNTY DIMENSIONS
The GREEK SYRIZA government of PM
ALEXIS TSIPRAS passed legislation to adopt the EU’s economic package. Splitting
SYRIZA, TSIPRAS had to draw on votes from the right. GERMAN Finance Minister WOLFGANG
SCHÄUBLE revealed that many in GERMANY actually might prefer GREECE to leave
the euro. While SCHÄUBLE is being widely criticized, it is generally omitted
that the euro was forced on GERMANY as a
precondition for GERMANY’S reunification. The crisis opens a Pandora’s Box
of questions about GREEK, GERMAN, EUROPEAN, and by implication, WESTERN AFRICAN
nation’s sovereignty and representative democracy.
TSIPRAS and the GREEK
parliament’s passing of legislation to approve the EU program sparked
widespread protests in ATHENS and other EUROPEAN capitals. GERMAN Finance
Minister WOLFGANG SCHÄUBLE would tentatively imply that the package had been
crafted to poise GREECE towards a GREXIT, saying that an exit from the currency
union might be the better alternative for GREECE and its citizens. SCHÄUBLE’S assessment
is consistent with an IMF report that called the terms of the EU – GREEK deal
unrealistic.

DATELINE
GREECE
GERMANY was forced to accept the
euro. So far to what is being reported by EUROPEAN and global media and
policymakers. What is largely being omitted is that GERMANY was not fond of
giving up the D-Mark and that the euro was imposed on GERMANY by the THATCHER
and MITTERAND governments and as a precondition for the GERMAn reunification.
Former GERMAN Chancellor HELMUTH KOHL wrote in his biography that MITTERAND
implicitly threatened GERMANY by saying that unless GERMANY would accept the
euro, it would find itself as isolated as it was in 1913 – the year before WW I.
GERMANY
SUGGESTED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A EUROPEAN DEVELOPMENT BANK, THUS CHALLENGING
THE PRIMACY OF THE US-DOMINATED IMF
A few GERMAN “experiences”? Other
GERMAN “experiences” would include the assassination of the Chairman of the
Board of Directors of DEUTSCHE Bank ALFRED HERRENHAUSEN in 1989. The assassination, which was blamed on the
militant GERMAN left RAF came only days after HERRENHAUSEN suggested that international
banks should work towards a debt moratorium for third world countries.
Cognizant of the consequences of
the impeding breakdown of the USSR and the GDR (EAST GERMANY), HERRENHAUSEN had
also suggested the establishment of a EUROPEAN Development Bank, thus
challenging the primacy of the US-dominated IMF. No positive proof that the
RAF, HEZBOLLAH, or the GDR’s STASI had been involved was ever tested in a court
of law. Many analysts suggest the involvement of NATO intelligence.
Another GERMAN “experience” is
the unsolved assassination of DETLEV KARSTEN ROHWEDDER in 1991. ROHWEDDER was
the manager of the Treuhandanstalt – the institution that was responsible for
the privatization of EAST GERMAN businesses. ROHWEDDER pleaded for a socially
responsible transition and was opposed the “economic hit-men” policies that
were especially led by foreign cartels. The EASTERN GERMAN economy was
devastated, leading to extreme high unemployment, poverty and the rise of
right-wing radicalism. The RAF would also be blamed for the ROHWEDDER
assassination which it rejected as preposterous.

A
QUESTION OF SOVEREIGNTY AND DEMOCRACY, NOT ONLY FOR GREECE.
The function of THATCHER’S and MITTERAND’S
demand that GERMANY would implement the euro was to negate any future attempt
of GERMANY to regain legal and actionable sovereignty and to prevent GERMANY from
assuming a position as a EUROPEAN power and bridge between the East and the
West.
Forming the EUROZONE, all of the
core EU member States gave up much of their economic sovereignty and autonomy.
Joining the EUROZONE implied stringent rules to all of the constituents,
although there were no mechanisms put in place that would make these rules
easily enforceable. The result was the hollowing out of national central banks
and the pooling of monetary decisions – with some exceptions.
The UK did not join the euro. FRANCE
is vehemently opposing any EU, especially GERMAN initiatives that would have FRANCE
reconsider its virtually absolute control over the economies of its former WEST
AFRICAN Colonies via the UMEOA. Numerous,
including FRENCH experts would note that the economy of FRANCE would be worse
than that of GREECE, was it not for the fact that FRANCE maintains what WEST
AFRICANS describe as “FRENCH Finance Nazism”.
UN
CHARTER STILL DESIGNATES GERMANY AS ENEMY STATE TO THE UN
Considering what some would
perceive as a trend of GERMAN-bashing, these factors may put the hardline of SCHÄUBLE
or MERKEL into perspective. That, not to mention that the UN Charter still
designates GERMANY as enemy State to the UN and that GERMANY cannot make
independent decisions on a wide variety of policies.

GREECE
has been the country that has been hardest hit by a manipulated international

been hardest hit by a failing austerity policy.
Blaming any particular country
for the situation in GREECE, SPAIN, PORTUGAL, ITALY.. is popular but negligent
of the functions of the IMF, the ECB, the EUROPEAN Commission, and not least
the role of predominantly WALL STREET and City of LONDON-based banks and
oligarchs in bringing about the “crisis”.

GREEK PM ALEXIS TSIPRAS is being
blamed for accepting the EU package. One of the largely omitted facts was that GREECE,
as EUROPE is currently constructed, had very little room for a viable fallback
strategy and most importantly, viable assets to bargain with.
WEAKENING
OF THE EURO, AN ATTEMPT TO SAVE THE PRIMACY OF THE (F)AILING US DOLLAR AND
BRETTON WOODS
The GREEK crisis, if anything,
shows that the EU urgently needs a reassessment with regard to national
sovereignty – an issue that will be difficult if not impossible to address as
long as the economic motor of the EU, GERMANY has not regained its sovereignty.
Other omitted facts? Chancellor MERKEL’S
statement that GERMANY would not mind if any nations would seek association
with both the EU and the newly formed EEU. Good and well 50% of GERMANS do not
perceive GERMANY as solidly and permanently anchored within NATO.
About 50% of GERMANs would like
to see GERMANY at equal distance and with equally good relations to WASHINGTON
and MOSCOW. Ultimately, the weakening of the euro may very well be a function
of the attempt to save the primacy of the (f)ailing US dollar and BRETTON WOODS
– and GREECE is, together with other EUROPEAN nations including GERMANY at the
receiving end of this policy.
