President Macron: Are Americans the enemy of France?

A few days ago, President Trump visited France for the commemoration of the end of World War One. In two wars, in World War One and World War Two, the end for France would have been dramatically different if thousands of Americans had not lost their lives trying to save France.

Here we have a French President talking about the creation of EU Armed Forces to fight against 'USA, Russia and China'. The hysteria is such that Angela Merkel that also supports the idea of the creation of 'true, real, EU Armed Forces' had to explicitly say in the Bundestag that the creation of EU Armed Forces was not walking away from NATO or undermining NATO. Well, if the Germany Chancellor has to publicly say that it is not about undermining NATO then there is the implicit aim of undermining NATO 'by taking our defence in our own hands'. What next?

For decades, the USA has been offering to the Common Market, then to the European Community and now to the European Union very advantageous trade deals. Now, it is the time for the USA to ask for reciprocity but the EU doesn't want reciprocity. The EU wants to maintain its advantages not just against the USA but against the rest of the World. When an EU made car enters USA such export is taxed several times less than the US made car when it enters the EU. Is this fair? No, it isn't. Much of the spiteful approach of several EU governments against the USA is based on the fact that USA is asking for a fair deal when it comes to exports and imports. When the USA says that all NATO members should pay an equivalent contribution to NATO according to the size of their economies, how much Germany, France and others pay? A lot less than the minimum two percent required. Things are so bad that German Armed Forces are struggling with ongoing shortages due to lack of German investment in defence. Most of the jet fighters in Germany are non operational. Pilot Licenses are being withdrawn because Pilots are required to have a certain record in terms of number of hours in the air and minimum operational time in the air is not being met.

Hatred against President Trump is based on the fact that President Trump is asking for minimum requirements to be met. The EU is a Protectionist Racket whose interests are directly opposed to the interests of Developing Economies, some of the poorest economies of the world that cannot export to EU and that when they do export to EU have to pay very high taxes to be able to sell their products in the EU. Talking about fighting inequality and hunger, the EU promotes inequality and hunger. When we look at Asia, Africa and Latin America, we should remember the damage that high tariffs caused to the Developing World. It must be said that when the movement towards European protectionism started, the economies of Latin America went into a free-fall and that because of that political instability followed and that because of that many countries across Latin American ended up having Military Dictatorships, torture and execution of political opponents. The stress generated by the Common Market, followed by the European Community and then European Union killed tens of thousands of people across Latin America. If you think about the whole picture including other areas of the world that also suffered from European Protectionism, the number of victims can  number millions. 

European Union has nothing to do with Free Trade. European Union is about Protectionism and Exploitation or, to put it more directly, European Union is Neo-Colonialism.

Julian Assange: Sweddish Authorities drop charges against Julian Assange

Julian Assange

Swedish Authorities dropped charges against Julian Assange

Many years have passed since Julian Assange was forced to seek asylum at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. Faced with the possibility of being the victim of political persecution by the US State Department, he opted for political exile seeking refuge at a Latin American Embassy in the United Kingdom.

The United States of America trumped up charges against Julian Assange after the US State Department classified Mr Assange as a National Security Risk because the organisation led by Mr Assange was revealing information concerning US dirty business.

The fact the Swedish authorities have now dropped charges against Mr. Assange more than proves that the whole case about Mr. Assange was a complete fabrication with the intent of taking Mr. Assange to Sweden and for there to the United States.

Despite the fact that Swedish Authorities have dropped charges against Mr. Assange, British Police sources indicate that they would still arrest Mr. Assange if he tried to leave the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. Therefore, Mr. Assange plight continues since US State Department wants to use every means, including illegal means, to seek the extradition of Julian Assange to the United States.

With every news about the case, the motives behind false accusations against Mr. Assange become more and more clear. A country that justifies rendition flights, detention with trial and torture, political assassinations, illegal invasions, and attacks against countries that are not at war with the USA would stop at nothing to get its own way.

Muhammad Ali refused to fight in Vietnam, one of the many artificial wars created by the American Empire

Muhammad Ali will be remembered as the Three Times World Heavyweight Boxing Champion but most importantly he will be honoured for refused to fight in Vietnam, in one of the many wars artificially created by the American Empire.

When there was a choice to be made between conscience and convenience, he chose conscience something that in today's World is very often in very short supply.

Today, many war veterans profoundly regret what was done in Vietnam where American troops burned men, women and children alive following the diktats of a Monster driven by greed that has ruined the lives of many across many continents supporting coup d'états, dictatorial regimes, carrying out illegal invasions, extorting resources, and subjecting millions to lives in extreme poverty.

The United States of America is a country that tells everybody else to live within their means but has no hesitation in building up trillions of Dollars of debt and printing worthless bank notes to take over other countries resources. The United States of America is constantly talking about Democracy and Human Rights while supporting dictators, torture, assassinations and persecution and mistreatment of its own citizens.

Is US Christianity a fake of a fake Nation?

The issue is very much the centre of  huge controversy. For ages, the US has been portrayed as a Christian Nation. The expression In God We Trust is even printed on US Dollar banknotes. When you listen to certain speeches in both the Senate and in the House of Representatives you could be led to believe that US is a Christian Nation but... is it?

There is a huge divide between the landing Pilgrims (that is very much part of mythological US) and what happens to day across the United States of America.

President Ronald Reagan said that the divide between the Christian Faith and the State was very much the essence of governance in the US.

In fact, is US was a Christian nation, illegal invasions, murder, torture, and  the justification of murderous policies couldn't possibly be consistent with the Christian message. The Holocaust of the Palestinian peoples carried out by a racist discriminatory racist country like Israel would be anathema for any rational thinking person. The reality is that US supports murder and assassinations, torture and detention without trial - issues that could hardly be called Christian because Jesus was tortured and murdered and US Foreign Policies could hardly be called Christian.
