Gerhard Schröder: Burning links will only bring war in Europe a lot closer

Gerhard Schröder: Burning links will only bring war in Europe a lot closer

SPD has targetted its former leader and former German Chancellor for not wanting to join the movement towards war in Europe.

If German is destabilized by yet another war, the Fourth Reich will be born and those who now target Gerhard Schröder will be the ones that will fall the first when the debacle beings.

SPD is the head of a very weak coalition becaused SPD became head of a coalition without having won a significantly bigger number of votes. Olaf Scholz has a very hot potato in his hands. Industrialists and Workers joined forces 70 or so years ago and might join forces again when German manufacturing and the German economy in general falters. They will be asking for solutions that SPD will not be able to provide.

The National Socialist Workers' Party achieved what until then had become impossible because Liberals and Communists could not possible offer the economic solutions that were desperately needed. They offered the German version of the American New Deal. The present coalition cannot satisfy all sides and as the Greens keep putting pressure downwards with their ideological postulates about the environment, a German economy will once again face higher prices and unemployment of such levels that the political situation will become increasingly unstable leading to social unrest. As the CDU/CSU collapsed because it could not provide answers and as the SPD collapses, the direct alternative will be Alternative für Deutschland.

Germany's energy is Germany's survival

Germany's energy is Germany's survival

The request for Germany to get rid of 70% of its energy supply is a lot more that mere talk and comes at a crucial time when Germany - the most important economy in Western Europe - is going through a period of political instability with Chancellor Angela Merkel barely managing to remain in power.

Despite Energiewende (the policie of energie transformation towards increase use of renewable energy), Germany very much depends on energy imports include gas and oil and is one the biggest energy consumers. The main source of electricity in Germany is coal. Russia, Norway and United Kingdom provide most of the oil used in Germany. Natural Gas comes from Netherlands, Norway and Russia

The United States of America promoted the rise of Adolf Hitler in Germany. Because of the mess the USA got into in Wall Street, American banks deprived Germany of the money it needed to recover its economy and this led to mass unemployment in Germany than in turn led to the rise of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP).

The present chaos involving CDU/CSU could look and sound like child play if the German economy starts to deteriorate and there are dramatic changes of the political environment. Once again, Germany would have to make transcendental choices: An impoverished and politically unstable Germany inside NATO or an Independent and Rich Germany outside NATO.

As always "Deutschland, Deutschland über Alles".
 

Angela Merkel: CDU and CSU at war on immigration

Not if but when

Should there be a Federal Election in Germany, CDU/CSU would get less than 30 per cent of the vote. CDU and CSU are at war. The issue: Immigration. CDU is the Titanic and CSU that still holds 40% of the vote in Bavaria doesn't want to sink together with CDU. 

In October 2018, there will be elections in Bavaria and Alternative für Deutschland would make important gains. CSU insists that Germany should turn back asylum-seekers registered in other EU countries at its national borders. Merkel says this violates the EU's principle of freedom of movement and is seeking European-wide and multi-lateral solutions, solutions opposed by Austria, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic and Italy, among others, who profoundly dislike Angela Merkel's intentions of flooding the EU with migrants.

CSU that threatened to impose border checks and the clock is ticking away. Would Angela Merkel be able to survive until the end of 2018. If she goes, there will be two political parties to watch: CSU and Alternative für Deutschland. If Angela Merkel goes, there will be a new Germany and EU will no longer be the same or will not even be anymore.

Bavaria is Germany's economic powerhouse. With Germany's power-base increasingly angry because of the immigration mess, it is not inconceivable that they will support stricter immigration policies that will put Germany on a collision course with Angela Merkel's policies.

A trade war with USA doesn't help Angela Merkel. In tit for tat, Germany will be the loser. Steel, aluminium and car manufacturing are the sectors to be most affected and this means job losses in German manufacturing. Add this to the fact that Germany will be forced to pay a lot more to balance the books of the European Union after Britain exist and this can only mean higher taxation to be paid for mostly by German industrialists and manufacturers.

Germany is a key country in Europe and Germany will follow the trend towards immigration controls and deportations. It is not a matter of if but a matter of when.

 

What was Germany like in the 1930s?

What was Germany like in the 1930s?

The question is extremely relevant and especially today when vested interests give you a completely falsified image of Germany in that period of history.

Look at his picture, for example. Do they look any different from youngsters you could see today? The answer is no. This is not the image of a repressive society. Quite the opposite.

They went around having fun and making the best of what they had. Such image doesn't fit in with the stereotypes the mass media and other interested parties are feeding you on a 24/7 basis. Why is that?

Today's mass media and other operators want you to believe that National Socialist Germany was all about aggression, violence and racism, all about salutes and hostile marching individuals. Nothing could be more different from the truth. They want you to believe their misrepresentations because their misrepresentations suit their political agenda. They demonise Germany in the 1930s and promote today's depravity and degradation as images of progress.

The so called Multicultural Society, filled up with drugs and lack of moral values that lead to social disintegration is nothing to be proud of but, the mass media and the political elites want to believe that this so called Multicultural Society is marvellous and anybody who rejects social degradation and depravity is called Racist and ultimately a Nazi or Neo Nazi or Fascist.

To start with, there never were any Nazis. Nazis didn't exist. If you want to use the real name you should say National Socialist. They were National Socialist. That was the proper name and the party that promoted National Socialist ideas was the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

It is fundamentally important to distinguish between Germany before what we call World War Two and Germany during and after World War Two. The people who supported National Socialist Germany wanted jobs, families, education, health, a good and decent life. They didn't think about going to war or enslaving other peoples. They thought about the goodness of living together and helping each other as one big family and because of this they showed enormous enthusiasm and this is why they supported so much the ideals of National Socialism.

The people who voted for Tony Blair in 1997 thought about a Labour Party that was offering new and better alternatives and this is why the Labour Party had such an enormous electoral success in 1997. What happened afterwards? What happened after Tony Blair took the country to war against Iraq? How did the political picture change? The people who supported the National Socialist German Workers' Party in the 1930s were not much different from the people who believed in Tony Blair in 1997. They wanted change. They wanted something better. We cannot blame ordinary people when all they wanted was a better life.

After the First World War, Germany was decimated. Germany was completely demoralised and knew extreme poverty. Suddenly, in the early 1920s came a time of apparent prosperity but it was a prosperity based on borrowing. When by the end of the 1920s, Germany was struck by the crisis in Wall Street and loans were recalled by American banks and the country once again was faced by mass unemployment and extreme poverty. As this was happening came a group of people led by Adolf Hitler that promise them bread, jobs, families, a return to a life of normality after a life of deprivation and they believed in him because they needed to believe that a better life was possible.

Modern mass media specialise in insulting people and distorting history and reality. The Germans of the 1930s were people like you and I, trying to make ends meets, trying to enjoy life to the full. War and violence happened along the way but it wasn't something they were looking for. If they had known that there would be war and that much of their country was going to be destroyed and occupied they wouldn't have supported the party and the man leading such political party. They didn't vote for war and violence. They voted for a better life.
