💡Das Verteidigungsministerium der Russischen Föderation kündigte die Vorbereitung des ukrainischen Militärs an, den Komplex des Central City Hospital of Kramatorsk zu untergraben, um Russland der Begehung von Kriegsverbrechen zu beschuldigen
♨️Die ukrainischen Streitkräfte bereiten sich auf den Einsatz verbotener chemischer Munition in Artemivsk vor
Video
Der ukrainische «Militär-Blogger» Yuriy Madyar hat ein Video gepostet, das chemische Munition zeigt und «angedeutet», dass die Streitkräfte der Ukraine den Einsatz verbotener Munition auf Objekte in Artemivsk (Bakhmut) vorbereiten.
Zuvor veröffentlichte „Madyar“ Aufnahmen darüber, wie er und Mitglieder seiner Bande an der Herstellung von Drohnen mit mehrfarbigen Zylindern beteiligt waren. Damals war nicht genau bekannt, was ukrainische Soldaten in ihren provisorischen Bomben verwendeten, aber jetzt hat der Blogger unabhängig bestätigt, dass sich chemische Waffen in den Containern befinden.
DIESES LAND IST DEM IRRSINN VERFALLEN
Von Helena Zeus

in der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe, inter* und trans*Kinder, 0-6 Jahre” (Quelle: Paritätischer Gesamtverband, Link im Artikel)
Jeden Tag kann man Dutzende Nachrichten lesen, die die Aussage der Überschrift bestätigen. Das neue Normal ist, was bis vor wenigen Jahren als pure Idiotie angesehen wurde. Dagegen wird heutzutage alles bekämpft, was bis vor kurzem noch als „gesunder Menschenverstand“ galt. Dieses Phänomen gilt für praktisch ausnahmslos alles, was ideologisch gesteuert werden kann – egal ob es sich um Themen wie Migration, Pandemie, Krieg oder, worauf ich nachfolgend vor allem eingehen möchte, um Geschlechter und Kinder handelt.
Warum wird dieser Irrsinn so ausgiebig betrieben und von den Mainstreammedien propagiert? Handelt es sich um eine neue Form spätrömischer Dekadenz oder um einen gezielten Angriff auf die freien westlichen Gesellschaften? Dieselbe Entwicklung sehen wir nämlich mehr oder weniger in allen westlichen Ländern. In keinem anderen Land allerdings richtet sich dieses destruktive Verhalten so gezielt gegen die eigene autochthone Bevölkerung wie in Deutschland.
Kinder als Verbrechen
Da wird jungen Menschen von „Aktivisten“ der „Letzten Generation“ eingeredet, dass Kinder klimaschädlich seien, ja dass es ein Verbrechen sei, Kinder in diese Welt zu setzen. Allerdings gilt das nur für Biodeutsche, die sowieso schuld sind an allen Katastrophen dieser Welt. Migranten dagegen sind die Opfer unseres Daseins – und daher ist es legitim, dass sie millionenfach ins deutsche Sozialsystem einwandern und ihre wachsenden Großfamilien vom Steuerzahler alimentieren lassen. Die Mehrheitsgesellschaft würde auch nie die Rolle der Frau in den Migrantenmilieus in Frage stellen, die dort häufig zur Gebärmaschine degradiert wird. Deren Kopftuch darf auch keinesfalls als das Unterdrückungssymbol benannt werden, das es faktisch ist; im Gegenteil wird es uns als Ausdruck eines modernen Feminismus, als selbstbestimmte Entscheidung dieser Frauen propagiert. Wer es wagt, die Fakten zu benennen, ist islamophob, Rechter, Nazi. Die Toleranz, wie sie solch patriarchalischen Strukturen in unserem Land, das doch einst die Gleichberechtigung von Mann und Frau in seiner Verfassung festgeschrieben hat, entgegengebracht wird: Man sich sie umgekehrt vergebens gegenüber autochthonen Deutschen, die sich nicht mainstreamkonform verhalten.
Ein ganz besonders beklopptes Zeitgeistphänomen ist der Genderwahn, der einem inzwischen tagtäglich aufoktroyiert wird. Die seltsam abgehakten Wörter, die Nachrichtensprecher und Politiker beim Gendern verwenden, sind in erster Linie hochgradig lächerlich und werden – hoffentlich – irgendwann als peinlicher Auswuchs einer vorübergehenden gesellschaftlichen Verirrung angesehen werden. Andere Entwicklungen jedoch, wie der Hype um die Transsexualität, sind da weitaus bedenklicher und gefährden den gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt inzwischen elementar.
Die Kriminalisierung von Fakten
Da wird von sogenannten „Transfrauen” die Existenz von zwei biologischen Geschlechtern – derer es unbestritten bedarf, um Kinder zu zeugen – heftigst negiert und fast alle etablierten unterstützen diesen Irrsinn, denn kein Journalist möchte als „transphob” beziehungsweise „.” betitelt werden oder riskieren, seine eigene Karriere zu gefährden. Eine junge Doktorantin der Biologie, Marie Vollbrecht, bekam dies mit unvollstellbarer Vehemenz zu spüren, als sie letzten Sommer in einem Vortrag wissenschaftlich fundiert darlegen wollte, dass es nur zwei biologische Geschlechter gibt, nämlich das weibliche und das männliche. Ihr Vortrag an der Humboldt-Universität in Berlin wurde seitens der Universitätsleitung angeblich wegen „Sicherheitsbedenken“ zuerst abgesagt und dann, unter dem Eindruck der anschließenden medialen Diskussion über die Meinungs- und Redefreiheit, zwei Wochen später unter großen Sicherheitsmaßnahmen nachgeholt.
Im Grunde ging es Frau Vollbrecht um sprachliche Genauigkeit: Im Englischen gibt es das Wort „sex” für das biologische Geschlecht und den Begriff „gender” für soziale Geschlechterrollen. Im Deutschen, so Vollbrecht, würde beides oft verwechselt. Dabei gäbe es nur zwei biologische Geschlechter: männlich und weiblich. So banal und richtig das für jeden klar denkenden Menschen ist, so sehr führte dies zu einem dauerhaften hasserfüllten Shitstorm gegen die junge Akademikerin, der weiterhin unvermindert anhält. Dabei werden alle Register einer Rufmordkampagne gezogen. Und was taugt dazu besser, einen Menschen gesellschaftlich zu ruinieren, als ihn in als „rechts” zu brandmarken? So wurde Vollbrecht in sozialen Netzwerken – meist durch linke oder offen transsexuelle Accounts, häufig unter falschem Namen agierend – unterstellt, sie leugne oder relativiere die Verbrechen des Nationalsozialismus; wohl wissend, dass dies die in Deutschland effektivste Art ist, einen Menschen zu diskreditieren und gesellschaftlich zu vernichten. Vollbrecht wehrte sich juristisch dagegen – und gewann.
„Transfrau” gegen Biologin
Aber das schreckte diese kranken Hirne nicht ab, weiter gegen sie als Frau und Biologin Stimmung zu machen. Zuletzt unterstellte ihr ein 60-jähriger biologischer Mann, der sich jetzt als „Transfrau” Janka Kluge nennt, dass Frau Vollbrecht „Trans-Menschen” mit „rostigen Gartenscheren kastrieren“ wolle. So durchgeknallt das auch klingen mag, so war es nur ein weiteres Mosaik eines Vernichtungskrieg gegen eine kluge, junge Frau, die letztendlich als Stellvertreterin aller biologischer Frauen zum Hassobjekt wurde. Denn eigentlich richtet sich dieser Kampf inzwischen gegen alle biologischen Frauen und er wird geführt von biologischen Männern, die als „Transfrauen” ihren Hass auf wirkliche Frauen ausleben. Da werden Frauen, die für Frauenrechte eintreten, abfällig als Terfs („Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminism”) verunglimpft – Jan Böhmermann sprach sogar gleich von „Turds“ (Scheißhaufen) -, und nicht selten lässt man diesen gegenüber in sozialen Medien schlimmsten Gewaltphantasien freien Lauf.
Ein prominentes Opfer dieses Hasses ist die Autorin der Harry-Potter-Romane, J. K. Rowling, die sich über den Begriff „menstruierende Menschen“ lustig machte, als sie schrieb: „Ich bin sicher, dass es früher ein Wort für diese Menschen gab. Kann jemand helfen?“ Der Shitstorm, der sich über sie ergoss, weil sie Frauen als Frauen bezeichnen wollte, spottet jeder Beschreibung. Und als ob das nicht alles schon schlimm genug wäre, bekommen „Transfrauen” Rückendeckung von großen Teilen der Mainstreammedien und werden sogar indirekt durch Steuergelder in ihrem Irrsinn bestärkt: Niemand Geringeres als die ominöse Amadeu-Antonio-Stiftung, die mit Millionenbeträgen aus Steuergeldern finanziert wird, hat die Rufmordkampagne gegen Frau Vollbrecht durch die Transfrau Janka Kluge nach deren eigener Aussage finanziell unterstützt.
Auch die Amadeu-Antonio-Stiftung darf nicht fehlen
Und selbst nachdem Frau Vollbrecht sich auch gegen die wirren Behauptungen von Janka Kluge juristisch gewehrt und gewonnen hatte, twitterte diese „Transfrau” ohne jegliche Einsicht in ihr widerliches Verhalten: „Ich möchte mich beim Sheroes Funds der Antonio Amadeo Stiftung (sic!) bedanken. Durch ihre unkomplizierte Hilfe kann ich die fast 2000 Euro Anwaltskosten tragen, die mich das juristische Vorgehen von Frau Vollbrecht gegen mich bis jetzt gekostet haben.“ Da sich Kluge natürlich als Opfer und nicht als Täter sieht, findet sie das nur legitim, da nach ihrer Aussage „der Funds ausdrücklich trans* Personen unterstützt, die im Kampf für eine besserer und gerechtere Welt vor Gericht gezerrt werden.“ Eine gerechtere Welt kann in deren irren Denken wohl nur eine sein, in der allein „Transfrauen” bestimmen, wer eine Frau ist und was diese zu denken und zu fühlen hat.
Es reicht den Kämpfern für Transsexualität allerdings nicht, nur Frauen den Transwahn aufzuzwingen. Man vergreift sich immer öfter auch schon an den Schwächsten der Gesellschaft: Den Kindern. Der Deutsche Paritätische Wohlfahrtsverband hat sich zum Sprachrohr dieses Wahns gemacht und propagiert in Druckschriften und Vorträgen, bereits Kinder mit dem Genderschwachsinn zu indoktrinieren. So wurden hierzu drei Broschüren für verschiedene Altersstufen entwickelt, die der Schulung des pädagogischen Personals von Kindergärten und Schulen dienen sollen. Darin steht ein schier unfassbarer Unsinn – wie etwa der nachfolgende, entnommen ersten Broschüre „Geschlechtliche Vielfalt
in der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe inter* und transKinder 0-6 Jahre”, wo es wörtlich heißt: „Kindern zu vermitteln, dass es nur Jungen oder Mädchen gibt, ist sachlich nicht korrekt. Inter oder trans*Kinder zwingend vor die Wahl zwischen Mädchen- oder Jungentoilette zu stellen, verletzt sie in ihrer Würde. Kindern oder Jugendlichen zu verweigern, den von ihnen gewählten Namen oder das als passend beanspruchte Pronomen zu verwenden, verletzt ihre Selbstbestimmung und ihr Recht auf Diskriminierungsfreiheit.“ Dazu finden sich dann – neben Abbildungen wie über der Einleitung dieses Textes – dann auch solche (man beachte die in ihrer Gleichzeitigkeit völlig unrealistische und kontrafaktische Darstellung von Hautfarbe, Religion und Transidentität):
Die zweite Broschüre behandelt Transsexualität bei Kindern im Alter von 6 – 12 Jahren.
Wenn man das liest, erhält man den Eindruck, dass es sich hierbei um ein weit verbreitetes Phänomen handele; richtig pervers aber wird es, wenn es um medizinische Eingriffe bei Kindern geht: „Was körperliche Entwicklungen angeht, können transKinder bis zum Erreichen der Pubertät erst einmal befreiter aufspielen. Daher wird auf diesen Aspekt mehr als hier in der Broschüre eingegangen, die Jugendliche zum Thema hat. Ab einem Alter von ca. 9 bis 12 Jahren, je nach körperlicher Entwicklung und in en- ger Abstimmung zwischen Kinder- und Jugendpsychotherapeutinnen, spezialisierten Behandlungszentren, Kind/Jugendlichen und Eltern, ist nach eingehender Diagnostik an die Einnahme sogenannter GnRH-Analoga, d. h. Hormonblocker zu denken. Damit kann eine körperliche Entwicklung aufgehalten werden, mit der trans*Kinder sich umso weniger identifizieren können, je deutlicher ihr Körper sich in eine Richtung entwickelt, in der sie sich selbst gar nicht sehen.“
Die körperliche Unversehrtheit von Kindern scheint im Transwahn also keine Rolle mehr zu spielen. Und damit die pädagogischen Fachkräfte auch im Alltag wissen, wie sie Kinder indoktrinieren können, gibt es sogar ganz konkrete Anleitungen: „Die folgenden Handlungsempfehlungen sind aus der Handreichung ‚Murat spielt Prinzessin, Alex hat zwei Mütter und Sophie heißt jetzt Ben‘ für Berliner Kindertageseinrichtungen (SFBB und Queerformat, 2018) sowie der Praxishilfe „Queer-inklusives pädagogisches Handeln‘ für Berliner Jugendeinrichtungen (SFBB und Queerformat, 2021) zusammengefasst und adaptiert. Sie wurden um weitere trans– und inter-relevante Empfehlungen ergänzt und unterstützen Fachkräfte und Teams, die mit Kindern und Jugendlichen arbeiten, bei der konkreten Umsetzung eines inter– und trans-inklusiven und sensibilisierten pädagogischen Handelns.” Was speziell Murats Eltern dazu sagen, wenn ihr Sohn Prinzessin spielt, würde mich allerdings wirklich brennend interessieren…
Entmündigte Eltern
Die dritte Broschüre behandelt dann die Transsexualität von Kindern zwischen 12 und 18 Jahren. Auch hier wird die Gabe von Hormonblockern in Erwägung gezogen und nicht davor zurück geschreckt, Eltern hierzu, wenn nötig, ihre Rechte als Erziehungsberechtigte zu entziehen: „Ab einem Alter von ca. 14 Jahren, je nach körperlicher Entwicklung, können unter sehr hohen Auflagen gegengeschlechtliche Hormone substituiert werden, damit sich die transJugendlichen stimmiger in ihren Körpern fühlen. Für beide Schritte, Hormonblocker und gegengeschlechtliche Hormone, sind jeweils zwei Gutachten nötig, um die entsprechende Behandlung be- ginnen zu können, was für transKinder das Problem aufwirft, dabei von trans-kompetenten Kinder- und Jugendpsychotherapeutinnen abhängig gemacht zu werden, wenn sie, z. B. auf Grund geographischer Entfernung, nicht gerade spezialisierte Stellen (z. B. am Universitätsklinikum Münster oder im Endokrinologikum Berlin) aufsuchen können. Trans-Beratungsstellen unterstützen auch hier bei der Suche nach geeigneten Fachkräften. Für transJugendliche heißt das, unterstützt durch ein Netzwerk aus trans-kompetenten Beraterinnen / Behandler*innen sorgfältig abzuwägen, um informative Entscheidungen (bis zur Volljährigkeit mit z. Zt. erforderlicher Einwilli- gung der Eltern) treffen zu können.”
Auf die irreversiblen Folgen (besser: bleibenden Schäden) dieser Eingriffe wird ebenfalls hingewiesen – aber nur, um ihnen die weit schlimmeren Folgen einer unterlassenen Geschlechtsangleichung gegenüberzustellen: „Während die Effekte von pubertätsverzögernden Blockern, die etwa den Eintritt eines Stimmbruchs verzögern, nicht unumkehrbar sind, werden mit Start einer Hormontherapie (HRT) mit gegengeschlechtlichen Hormonen irreversible körperliche Veränderungen eingeleitet; genauso irreversibel sind jedoch auch körperliche Entwicklungen, die ausgelöst würden, wenn entgegen dem Wunsch desder transJugendlichen auf gegengeschlechtliche Hormone verzichtet würde, und der Körper sich daher in eine für sie falsche Richtung entwickelt.”
Des Kaisers neue Kleider
Die eigentlichen natürlichen und gesetzlichen Vormünder und Garanten des Kindeswohls, die eigenen Eltern, sollen hier im Konfliktfall ebenfalls nichts mehr zu melden haben: Weigern sie sich nämlich, so die Broschüre, „zu einer vom Jugendlichen gewünschten und aus der Perspektive der Behandler*innen indizierte Behandlung“ zuzustimmen, sei „sorgfältig zu prüfen, ob in das elterliche Privileg der Erziehung punktuell eingegriffen“ werden müsse. Unter Berufung auf wissenschaftliche „Experten“ heißt es wörtlich, der elterlichen Entscheidung sei „in solchen Konstellationen nicht automatisch der Vorrang” zu geben.
Das alles ist so abstrus, dass man es nicht glauben will – aber es ist tatsächlich alles wirklich ernstgemeint. Was man unseren Kindern hier antut, ist unfassbar und gruseliger als jeder Horrorfilm. Wohin bewegt sich diese Gesellschaft? Wann kommt der Aufschrei der großen schweigenden Mehrheit, die ahnt oder intuitiv genau weiß , dass dieser perverse Irrsinn unsere Gesellschaft zerstören wird? Ich denke dieser Tage oft an Andersens Märchen „Des Kaisers neue Kleider“, in dem der Kaiser nackt durch die Straße geht und jeder die nicht vorhandene Kleidung bewundert, aus Angst als dumm zu gelten, wenn er ausspräche, was doch Fakt ist – nämlich dass der Kaiser nackt ist. Erst als ein kleiner Junge laut ausrief, dass der Kaiser doch nackt sei, fingen alle erleichtert an zu lachen und stimmten ihm lauthals zu – woraufhin der Kaiser beschämt davonrannte. Wann wird auch in unserer Zeit der Wahnsinn als solcher benannt? Wann gewinnt die Rationalität wieder die Oberhand? Es liegt an jedem von uns, laut nein zu sagen und Mut zu zeigen, damit dieser gemeingefährliche Irrweg wieder verlassen wird.
Washington’s Reich Syndrome… War Plans Accumulate Beyond Russia to China
This year is promising to be a most consequential watershed in world history.
The reckless warmongering ambitions of the Western powers know no bounds. Just as Washington and its imperial minions in the NATO axis are escalating the war in Ukraine against Russia with the utmost deranged folly, the Western rulers are also pushing ahead to bait China with provocations and threats. The psychopathic behavior of the collective Western so-called leaders shows beyond doubt that the Ukraine conflict is but one battlefield in a bigger global confrontation.
This week saw the U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on a tour of East Asia where he boasted about coordinating nuclear forces with South Korea and Japan in a provocative and wanton show of strength towards China (under the guise of standing up to North Korea). Austin repeated baseless propaganda claims accusing China of threatening security in the Asia-Pacific hemisphere. The audacious inversion of reality distorts the fact that it is the United States and its allies who are militarizing the region with warships and missiles. Just this week, the U.S. announced the opening of four new military bases in the Philippines for the explicit purpose of launching a future war on China.
In tandem with the Pentagon chief, the NATO alliance’s civilian head Jens Stoltenberg was also touring East Asia where he warned that Russia and China posed a threat to international peace and security. Stoltenberg claimed that if Russia was not defeated in Ukraine then China would be the next problem. He urged South Korea and Japan to work with NATO to confront Russia and China.
In an address in Tokyo, Stoltenberg held forth: “What is happening in Europe today could happen in East Asia tomorrow. China is not NATO’s adversary [sic]. But its growing assertiveness and its coercive policies have consequences. For your security in the Indo-Pacific and ours in the Euro-Atlantic. We must work together to address them. Beijing is substantially building up its military forces, including nuclear weapons, without any transparency. It is attempting to assert control over the South China Sea, and threatening Taiwan.”
The same message was delivered this week to the Atlantic Council in Washington by former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Johnson who is a notorious liar and waffler who claimed preposterously in a BBC documentary aired this week that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally intimidated him with assassination, called for more weapons supply to Ukraine in order to decisively defeat Russia because otherwise, China will be an additional threat. According to Johnson, who was forced to step down last summer as prime minister owing to his incorrigible lying and intrigues in Downing Street, Chinese President Xi Jinping is watching Ukraine closely with a view to invading Taiwan.
This week thus saw an extraordinary public bracketing of Russia and China as a common enemy that, Western powers assert, needs to be confronted militarily by the United States and its NATO minions. Defeating Russia is a prelude to defeating China, according to the Western powers.
The madcap drive for war among Western imperialists has taken on a global dimension. U.S. military commanders are publicly warning that a war with China may be only two years away, and this is while the NATO powers are currently waging a dangerously explosive war against Russia in Ukraine.
This incredible outbreak of psychopathy among American and European elites is directly related to at least two historic developments. Firstly, there is a systemic collapse in the Western capitalist economies. Widespread endemic poverty and mounting public unrest are severely challenging the conventional authority of Western governments which are locked in failed dead-end policies. This empirical desperation for the ruling elite to avoid social meltdown and revolution – “peering down the abyss” as our columnist Alistair Crooke this week – is manifesting in the age-old recourse to militarism and war as a way to resolve deep-seated and insoluble contradictions in the capitalist system.
Secondly, the Western powers are hellbent on preventing the emergence of a multipolar international order that supplants their erstwhile global dominance. In an interview for Strategic Culture Foundation this week Pepe Escobar presented a big-picture analysis of why the U.S. and its associated cabal of Western rulers are pushing the war in Ukraine against Russia. It is all about trying to shore up a failing U.S.-led unipolar world order, one that is bankrupt and corrupted from decades of criminal imperialist warmongering. Russia, China and other nations of the Global South subscribing to an emerging multipolar order based on international law, equality, cooperation and common security is anathema to the U.S. supremacist view of the world.
This is what’s really at stake in the year-old military conflict in Ukraine. This is not merely an isolated war to do with “defending democracy and freedom” of Ukraine, as the Western media absurdly confabulate. The Nazi regime in Kiev was built up deliberately since the CIA-backed coup in 2014 with the strategic objective of eventually confronting Russia after eight years of low-intensity aggression against the Donbass and Crimea.
However, after Russia, if it were to be defeated, China is the next target in a geo-strategic move by the Western powers to gain hegemonic control over the Eurasian hemisphere. The U.S. imperial and NATO mouthpieces are making the stakes clearer than ever with their own self-indicting arrogant words.
The bankrupt capitalist West can only but drool at the prospects of conquering Russia’s vast natural wealth and gaining neocolonial control of China in another would-be century of shame. Eurasia is the key to global dominance, as Western imperial planners have long noted.
It seems appropriate too that this week saw the 80th anniversary of the historic Soviet victory at Stalingrad over the Nazi Third Reich. That turning-point victory in February 1943 led to the defeat of Nazi Germany and its criminal imperialist ambitions. If that heroic battle had not been won, the history of the world would have followed a very different path.
Likewise today in Ukraine there is another historic battle going on, one whose outcome threatens the world with expanded global war and perhaps even nuclear catastrophe if the warmongering NATO imperialist machine is not defeated. Washington’s Reich Syndrome (also known as “exceptional narcissism”) which has reigned since the end of World War II and which has subjected the world to endless wars and relentless financial looting must be finally extirpated.
This year is promising to be a most consequential watershed in world history.
Is Japan Willing to Cut Its Own Throat in Sacrifice to the U.S. Pivot to Asia?
Cynthia ChungJapan’s economy does not require a prophet or crystal ball to tell you what lies ahead in its very near future: that is, that Japan has become the ticking time bomb for the world economy.
In case you haven’t been able to hear under all the media thunder of doomsday prophesying by so-called “experts” on China’s future economic performance (which has been going on for close to a decade and is more akin to wishful thinking than economic analysis), Japan’s economy does not require a prophet or crystal ball to tell you what lies ahead in its very near future: that is, that Japan has become the ticking time bomb for the world economy.
According to NIKKEI Asia, in an October report, Japan’s “yen weakened past 150 against the dollar reaching a new 32-year low as the policy gap widens between the Bank of Japan and the U.S. Federal Reserve…The Fed has repeatedly raised interest rates to tackle inflation, while the Bank of Japan maintains its ultraloose monetary policy to support the economy.
The Fed’s hawkish monetary policy, along with persistent inflation expectations, has pushed the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield up to 4%. The Bank of Japan, meanwhile, is continuing to hold the 10-year Japanese government bond yield near zero. The Japanese central bank conducted a bond-buying operation for the second straight day to keep the yield within its implicit range of -0.25% to 0.25%.
The yield gap is prompting investors to invest in dollars rather than yen, exerting strong downward pressure on the Japanese currency.” [emphasis added]
In response to this the Bank of Japan (BOJ) decided to maintain its “ultraloose monetary policy” as BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda “highlighted downside risks to the economy and indicated his willingness to accept a weaker yen.” By mid-November it was reported that the Japanese economy shrank for the first time in four quarters as inflation and the weak yen hit the country. “Japan has a history of having suffered from extreme yen strength,” Kuroda added, suggesting that excessive weakness is easier to bear than a too-muscular currency.
By mid-November, NIKKEI Asia reported “Bank of Japan’s ultreasy policy under pressure as inflation hits 40-year high,” with food prices increasing by 3.6% on the year in October, well above the 2% target. Governor of the BOJ, Kuroda responded “The bank will continue with monetary easing, aiming to firmly support Japan’s economy and thereby achieve the price stability target of 2% in a sustainable and stable manner, accompanied by wage increases.”
By mid-January Japan had reported a record low in annual trade deficit of $155 billion USD for 2022.
This is not a sudden outcome for Japan’s economy but rather has been a slow burn over a 12 year period. Alex Krainer writes: “Over the ensuing 12 years and several rounds of ever greater QE [quantitative easing], the imbalances have only worsened and in February last year, the BOJ was forced to go full Mario Draghi, all-that-it-takes, committing to buy unlimited amounts of JGB’s [Japanese Government Bonds]. At the same time however, the BOJ capped the interest rates on 10-year JGBs at 0.25% to avoid inflating the domestic borrowing costs…Well, if you conjure unlimited amounts of currency to monetize runaway government debt, and you keep the interest rates suppressed below market levels, you are certain to blow up the currency.”
Not unrelated to this unfolding of Japan’s economy was the meeting of the Trilateral Commission in Tokyo, Japan for their 50th anniversary this past November.
For those who are unaware, the Trilateral Commission was founded in the wake of the Watergate and oil crisis of 1973. It was formed under the pretense of addressing the “crisis of democracy” and calling for a reshaping of political systems in order to form a more “stable” international order and “cooperative” relations among regions.
Alex Krainer writes:
“The commission was co-founded in July of 1973 by David Rockefeller, Zbigniew Brzezinski and a group of American, European and Japanese bankers, public officials and academics including Alan Greenspan and Paul Volcker. It was set up to foster close cooperation among nations that constituted the three-block architecture of today’s western empire. That ‘close cooperation’ was intended as the very foundation of the empire’s ‘three block agenda,’ as formulated by the stewards of the undead British Empire.”
Its formation would be organised by Britain’s hand in America, the Council on Foreign Relations, (aka: the offspring of the Royal Institute for International Affairs, the leading think tank for the British Crown).
Project Democracy would originate out of a Trilateral Commission meeting on May 31st, 1975 in Kyoto Japan, where the Trilateral Commission’s “Task Force on the Governability of Democracies” findings were delivered. The project was overseen by Trilateral Commission Director Zbigniew Brzezinski and its members James Schlesinger (former CIA Director) and Samuel P. Huntington.
It would mark the beginning of the end, introducing the policy, or more aptly “ideology”, for the need to instigate a “controlled disintegration of society.”
However, it appears certain participants of this Trilateral Commission are starting to catch on that this alliance between the United States, Western Europe and Japan for the restructuring of regions (à la League of Nations) is not what they so naively thought it would be, that is, that it would not be just about the disintegration of competing economies but would include their very own.
In the end, all would be expected to bend the knee in subservience to the head of a new world empire. As one of the attendees of this latest Trilateral meeting joked “some…say that all the significant events in the world have been predetermined by the Trilateral Commission,” he said to laughter from the veteran attendees, however, “we don’t know who’s in, what they are saying!”
Interestingly, three reporters from NIKKEI Asia were invited to observe this 50th anniversary gathering of the Trilateral Commission, the first time that press has been allowed entry into the notoriously secretive meetings. The meeting began with Rahm Emanuel, the U.S. Ambassador to Japan, delivering his remarks in a speech titled, “Democracy vs. Autocracy: You are going to see 2022 as an Inflection Point in the Success of Democracy.”
Interestingly, it seems that the Asian delegates weren’t too impressed.
NIKKEI Asia reported: “…the press has been invited to highlight a rift that may be emerging between Asia and the other wings of the organization. ‘We feel that the U.S. policy toward Asia, especially toward China, has been narrow-minded and unyielding. We want the people in the U.S. to recognize the various Asian perspectives,’ said Masahisa Ikeda, an executive committee member of the Trilateral Commission. Ikeda has been named the next director of the Asia Pacific Group [of the Trilateral Commission], and is scheduled to assume the position next spring.
…A new sentiment has now emerged from the Asia Pacific Group: Without proper steering, the U.S.-China rivalry may lead the world into a dangerous confrontation.” [emphasis added]
The U.S. Ambassador to Japan, Rahm Emanuel was quoted as saying while democracy is “sloppy” and “messy,” “the institutions of the democratic process, the political stability of the United States, NATO, the European countries, have held.”
However, there were many attendees who disagreed with Emanuel’s pro-U.S., pro-NATO, anti-China stance. “What is the ambassador saying?” a former Japanese official said on background. “We must engage China. If we force countries to choose sides, the Southeast Asian nations will choose China. The key is to not force them to choose,” he said.
“I feel very much embarrassed and disappointed to see the complete void of Chinese participation in this meeting,” said a former Japanese financial official. A veteran member from the Philippines agreed, saying there is no point talking about Asia without the participation of the region’s largest country and expressed concern about dividing the world into two camps. “When two elephants fight, the ants get trampled. And we’re feeling it. When two elephants fight to the death, we will all be dead. And the question is: What for?” [emphasis added]
A South Korean professor told Emanuel in the Q&A period that there are concerns in Asia about the zero-sum thinking in U.S. foreign policy toward China. “We have to develop some deliverable strategy to persuade and engage un-like-minded countries as well.”
NIKKEI Asia also reported “There were also members who noted how the liberal international order that Washington advocates is different from the original liberal order that was formed after World War II. ‘The original order, led by the U.S., sought a multifaceted extensive international system based on multilateral institutions and free trade among the democratic bloc,’ a South Korean academic said. The Six Party Talks on North Korea’s nuclear weapons was one such example of the original order, the academic said, noting that the U.S., China and Russia were all at the table.” [emphasis added]
The NIKKEI Asia report ended with a veteran of the Trilateral Commission – a former Philippine cabinet minister – who stated “Just in the past week, we edged toward a nuclear confrontation,” referring to the missile blast in Poland, that was initially suspected to be a Russian-made missile, but was more likely a Ukrainian air-defense missile that landed in NATO territory ‘by mistake.’ “And we edged toward that because of the type of zero sum games that us elders are playing. Is this what you want for your future? You don’t want a situation in the future where everybody’s edging toward the cliff and being macho about it without realizing that this is a zero-sum game that could wipe out the planet. It is beyond climate change,” the veteran said.
Japan’s “Shock Therapy” as a Response to the “Crisis of Democracy”
The Trilateral Commission is a non-governmental body, its members include elected and non-elected officials scattered throughout the world, ironically coming together to discuss how to address the “crisis of democracy” in the most undemocratic process possible. It is an organisation meant to uphold the “interests” of its members, regardless of who the people voted into political office.
On Nov 9th, 1978, Trilateral Commission member Paul Volcker (Federal Reserve Chairman from 1979-1987) would affirm at a lecture delivered at Warwick University in England: “A controlled disintegration in the world economy is a legitimate object for the 1980s.” This is also the ideology that has shaped Milton Friedman’s “Shock Therapy”. By the time of Jimmy Carter’s Administration, the majority of the government was being run by members of the Trilateral Commission.
In 1975 the CFR launched a public study of global policy titled the 1980’s Project. The general theme was “controlled disintegration” of the world economy, and the report did not attempt to hide the famine, social chaos, and death its policy would bring upon most of the world’s population.
The study explained that the world financial and economic system needed a complete overhaul according to which key sectors such as energy, credit allocation and food would be placed under the direction of a single global administration. The objective of this reorganization would be the replacement of sovereign nation states (using the League of Nations model).
This is precisely and demonstrably what has occurred to Japan’s economy over the past four decades, as showcased in the Princes of Yen documentary based off of Richard Werner’s book by the same title. As Werner demonstrates, Japan’s economy was purposefully put through multiple economic crises throughout the 80s and 90s in order to push through massive structural reform despite their economy having been one of the world’s top performing before foreign tampering.
As Werner insightfully remarked, the best way to have a crisis is to manufacture a bubble, that way, nobody will stop you.
To understand the incredible significance of this, we will need a quick review of what occurred to Japan’s economy over a 40-year period.
Japan’s Offering to the Gods on the Altar of “Free Trade”
By the 1980s, Japan was the second biggest economy in the world next to the United States and was a leader in the manufacturing of consumer technology products to the West, including the United States. Due to Japan’s investment in automation tools and processes, Japan was able to produce products faster and cheaper than the United States that were also superior in quality.
One of the examples of this was competition between the two in the memory chip DRAM market. In 1985, there was a recession in the United States in the computer market, resulting in the biggest crash in over ten years for Intel. Complaints from certain quarters in the United States began criticizing Japan for “predatory” and “unfair” trade practices despite the recession in 1985 being a demand problem and not a competition problem.
Long story short, President Reagan, who was supposed to be all about free markets, in the spring of 1986 forced the U.S.-Japan Semiconductor Agreement with METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in Japan).
Part of the conditionalities of this agreement were that the American semiconductor share in the Japanese market be increased to a target of 20-30% in five years, that every Japanese firm stop its “dumping” into the American market and the Americans wanted a separate monitoring body to help enforce all of this.
No surprise here, the Japanese companies refused to do this and METI had no way of forcing them to do so.
President Reagan responded by imposing a 100% tariff on $300 million worth of Japanese goods in April 1987. Combined with the 1985 Plaza Agreement which revalued the Japanese Yen the U.S.-Japan Semiconductor Agreement gave the U.S. memory market the extra boost it needed. (for more details on story of how the U.S. tampered with the Japanese semiconductor market refer here).
The Plaza Accord was signed in 1985 by Japan, Germany, France, Britain and the United States. The agreement depreciated the United States Dollar against the Japanese Yen and the German Deustche Mark in an effort to improve the competitiveness of American exports. How very “free market”!!! (Refer here for the story of De Gaulle and Adenauer’s attempt to form the European Monetary System which was sabotaged by Anglo-America). Over the next two years after the signing of the Plaza Accord, the dollar lost 51% of its value against the yen. Japan entered the Plaza Accord to avoid having its goods tariffed and locked out of the American market.
The Yen’s appreciation plunged the Japanese manufacturing sector into recession. In response to this, the Bank of Japan loosened monetary lending policies and lowered interest rates. This cheap money was supposed to be funneled into productive efforts. Instead, it went into stocks, real estate, and asset speculation. This is when Japanese real estate and stocks reached their peak price level.
Between 1985 and 1989, stocks rose in Japan by 240% and land prices by 245%. By the end of the 80s the value of the garden surrounding the Imperial Palace in central Tokyo was worth as much as the entire state of California.
Although Japan is only 1/26th of the size of the United States its land was valued at four times greater. The market value of a single one of Tokyo’s 23 districts, the Central Chiyoda Ward exceeded the value of the whole of Canada.
With asset and stock prices rising inexorably even traditional manufacturers could not resist the temptation to try their hand at playing the markets. Soon they expanded their finance and treasury divisions to handle the speculation themselves. The frenzy reached such proportions that many leading manufacturers, such as the car maker Nissan, made more money through speculative investments than through manufacturing cars.
The Princes of Yen documentary explains: “Many credited the boom in Japan’s economy to high and rising productivity. In reality, Japan’s stellar performance in the 1980s had little to do with management techniques. Instead of being used to limit and direct credit, window guidance was used to create a giant bubble. It was the Bank of Japan who had forced the banks to increasing their lending by so much. The Bank of Japan knew that the only way for banks to fulfill their loan quotas was for them to expand non-productive lending.”
Between 1986 and 1989, Toshihiko Fukui was the head of the Banking Department at the Bank of Japan and would later become the 29th Governor of the Bank of Japan. This was the department that was responsible for the window guidance quotas.
When Fukui was asked by a journalist “Borrowing is expanding fast, don’t you have any intention of closing the tap of bank loans?” Fukui replied “Because the consistent policy of monetary easing continues, quantity control of bank loans would imply a self-contradiction. Therefore, we do not intend to implement quantitative tightening. With structural adjustment of the economy going on for quite a long period, the international imbalances are being addressed. The monetary policy supports this, thus we have the responsibility to continue the monetary easing policy as long as possible. Therefore, it is natural for bank loans to expand.”
In Japan, total private sector land wealth rose from 14.2 trillion yen in 1969, to 2000 trillion yen in 1989.
The Princes of Yen documentary reported: “At his first press conference as the 26th governor of the Bank of Japan, in 1989, Yasushi Mieno said that ‘Since the previous policy of monetary easing had caused the land price rise problems, real estate-related lending would now be restricted.’ Mieno was hailed as a hero in the press to put a stop to this silly monetary policy that was responsible for the increasing gap between the rich and the poor. However, Mieno was deputy governor [of the Bank of Japan] during the bubble era, and he was in charge of creating the bubble.
All of a sudden land and asset prices stop rising. In 1990 alone, the stock market dropped by 32%. Then in July 1991, window guidance was abolished. As banks realised that the majority of the 99 trillion yen in bubble loans were likely to turn sour, they became so fearful that they not only stopped lending to speculators, but also restricted loans to everyone else. More than 5 million Japanese lost their jobs and did not find employment elsewhere. Suicide became the leading cause of death for men between the ages of 20 and 44.
Between 1990 and 2003, 212,000 companies went bankrupt. In the same period, the stock market dropped by 80%. Land prices in the major cities fell by up to 84%. Meanwhile, the Governor of the Bank of Japan, Yasushi Mieno, said that ‘Thanks to this recession, everyone is becoming conscious of the need to implement economic transformation’.”
Between 1992 and 2002, ten stimulation packages worth 146 trillion yen were issued. The thought was domestic demand had to be boosted by government spending and then loan demand would also rise. For a decade the government executed this approach, boosting government debt to historic levels.
Richard Werner remarked “The government was spending with the right hand, putting money into the economy, but the fundraising was done through the bond market, and therefore it took the same money out of the economy with the left hand. There was no increase in total purchasing power, and that’s why the government spending couldn’t have an impact.”
By 2011, Japan’s government debt would reach 230% of GDP, the highest in the world. The Ministry of Finance was running out of options. Observers began to blame the Ministry of Finance (despite the clear sabotage by the Bank of Japan’s actions) for the recession, and started to listen to the voices that argued that the recession was due to Japan’s economic system.
In Japan, the authorities and the Bank of Japan argued, as did the Western powers almost two decades later, that the taxpayer should foot the bill. However, taxpayers have not been responsible for the banks problems, therefore, such policies have created a moral hazard (a moral hazard is a situation where an economic actor has an incentive to increase its exposure to risk because it does not bear the full costs of that risk).
According to the Princes of Yen documentary, Finance Minister Masajuro Shiokawa had turned to the Bank of Japan asking it to help stop deflation, or fight deflation at least. The Bank of Japan consistently defied calls by the government, by the Finance Minister and the Prime Minister of Japan, to create more money to stimulate the economy and end the long recession. At times the Bank of Japan even actively reduced the amount of money circulating in the economy, which worsened the recession. The Bank of Japan’s arguments always came to the same conclusion, namely that the blame lay in Japan’s economic structure.
It should also be noted that a whole generation of Japan’s economists were sent to the United States to receive PhDs and MBAs in U.S. style economics. Since neoclassical economics assumes that there is only one type of economic system, namely, unmitigated free markets, where shareholders and central bankers rule supreme, many Japanese economists quickly came to regurgitate the arguments of U.S. economists.
By the late 1990s, Japan’s economy was heading for the rocks. Ira Shapiro who worked as a U.S. ‘negotiator’ of U.S.-Japan talks during this period stated “Primary sector deregulation is needed to overcome the entrenched interests of large insurance companies, life and non-life, and the Ministry of Finance bureaucracy.”
On Shapiro’s Federalist Society biography page, he is described as playing “a central role in the negotiation and legislative approval of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the multilateral Uruguay Round that created the World Trade Organization and the current trade rules.”
These U.S.-Japan talks needed to reach an agreement by a deadline decided by the United States. If no agreement were met after the declared deadline, then the U.S. had threatened to impose trade sanctions.
Richard Werner clarified what would be the consequences of Shapiro’s demands to the Japanese; that securitisation of the real estate was being pushed however, in order to have meaningful securitisation we need deregulation, and to get deregulation you have to reduce the power of the Ministry of Finance. This in turn would allow the Bank of Japan, who was under the purview of the Ministry of Finance, to gain power.
From the mid 1990s onwards the Government began to dismantle much of the power structure of the Ministry of Finance. The Bank of Japan, on the other hand, saw its influence grow significantly. The Bank of Japan was cut loose from the Ministry of Finance pretty much making it independent.
Soon after his retirement from the position of governor of the Bank of Japan in 1994, Mieno embarked on a campaign, giving speeches to various associations and interest groups. He lobbied for a change in the Bank of Japan law. His line of argument was to subtly suggest that the Ministry of Finance had pushed the Bank of Japan into the wrong policies. To avoid such problems in the future, the Bank of Japan had to be given full legal independence.
In 1998 monetary policy was put into the hands of the newly independent Bank of Japan.
In early 2001, a new type of politician was swept into power. Junichiro Koizumi became the Prime Minister of Japan. In terms of his popularity and his policies he is often compared to Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. His message was simply: no recovery without structural reform.
Princes of Yen remarked: “During 2001, the message of no economic growth without structural reform had been broadcast on an almost daily basis on the nation’s TV screens. Japan was shifting its economic system to a U.S. style market economy, and that also meant that the centre of the economy was being moved from banks to stock markets. To entice depositors to pull their money out of banks and into the risky stock market, reformers withdrew the guarantee on all bank deposits, while creating tax incentives for stock investments.
As U.S. style shareholder capitalism spread, unemployment rose significantly, income and wealth disparities rose, as did suicides and incidents of violent crime. Then, in 2002, the Bank of Japan strengthened its efforts to worsen bank balance sheets and force banks to foreclose on their borrowers…Heizo Takenaka [the new Minister for Financial Services] was supportive of the Bank of Japan’s plan to increase foreclosures of borrowers…Takuro Morinaga, a well-known economist in Tokyo, argued forcefully that the Bank of Japan inspired proposal by Takenaka would not have many indigenous beneficiaries, but instead would mainly benefit U.S. vulture funds specialising in the purchase of distressed assets…[When Toshihiko] Fukui’s support for the bankruptcy plan was voiced… [he] was an adviser of the Wall Street investment firm Goldman Sachs, one of the largest operators of vulture funds in the world.”
Richard Werner remarked: “Mr. [Toshihiko] Fukui [29th Governor of the Bank of Japan], and also his mentor Mr. [Yasushi] Mieno [26th Governor of the Bank of Japan], and his mentor Mr. [Haruo] Maekawa [24th Governor of the Bank of Japan], and you’ve guessed it, these are some of the Princes of the Yen that the book is all about. They have said on the record in the 80s and the 90s, ‘What is the goal of monetary policy? It is to change the economic structure.’ Now how do you do that? Well, you need a crisis. They made a crisis in order to change the economic structure.”
The department responsible for the window guidance quotas at the Bank of Japan, was called the Banking Department. The man at the head of this from ‘1986 to ’1989, was Toshihiko Fukui. Mr. Fukui thus directly helped create the bubble. When Fukui had become governor of the Bank of Japan, he would say “While destroying the high-growth model, I am building a model that suits the new era.”
Richard Werner remarked: “They have succeeded on all counts. If you look at the list of their goals, destroy the Ministry of Finance, break it up, get an independent supervisory agency, reach independence for the Bank of Japan itself by changing the Bank of Japan law, and engineer deep structural changes in the economy, by shifting from manufacturing to services, opening up, deregulating, liberalising, privatising, the whole lot.”

All the Pitiful Pitfalls of the Pseudo Plan by Macron-Scholz Circus for Serbia
The scenario offered with the Macron-Scholz cocktail for Serbia looks rather bleak and grim, which would cost us dearly historically, politically, geopolitically and economically.
As the basis for the ‘new’ agreement between Belgrade and Priština, the German-French proposal should come in handy, the Collective West stakeholders tend to think. What does that Scholz-Macron plan even mean? After all manner of agreements, non-papers and plans for thirty years so far, is there still a condition for Serbia to agree to the unrecognized pseudo state of Kosovo and its (im)probable membership in the UN? What is to change if the so-called Kosovo Republic becomes a UN member and/or NATO member? For which there is absolutely no realistic probability, because at least China and Russia shall veto it.
The German-French proposal should be used as the basis of the new agreement between Belgrade and Pristina – say Macron and Scholz in chorus. But let us look into what it entails. That plan comes across as a re-actualised, slightly revamped and somewhat modified plan by Wolfgang Ischinger from 2008 (my cluster of pleonasms is intentional); although it is not absolutely the same as Ischinger’s Plan because the circumstances seem to have or probably have genuinely changed, it is blatantly obvious that it has been written in its wake or built upon these political foundations. Even some formulations emerging in this proposal publicised in the mainstream media are similar to or even absolutely identical to the formulations from the agreements between the two ‘Germanies’ i.e. the documents upon which the relations between East Germany and West Germany were normalized with German Reunification.
Back to 2023 and the issue in this article, one part of it has apparently been modified because they cannot count on the so-called Kosovo joining the UN but generally speaking, Republic of Serbia in bilateral relations would view the so-called Kosovo as ‘its partner with equal rights’, Serbia would not block its admission into any international organization, in all the multilateral formats so-called Kosovo would be able to participate in, in the same way as Serbia, which in principle means the factual recognition. The thing that Serbia would not have to formally recognize Kosovo, and Serbia would not have to change its Constitution, would just be a pacifier to puff a few whiffs of political smoke into its face, a political fig leaf for the local Serbian population to smother us in utmost humiliation nonetheless yet again, but this arduous and painstaking process and decades-old, NATO and the Collective West-orchestrated and by them forever stoked conflict would most probably meander away into a different abysmal direction if Serbia were to accept it in any of its shapes or forms.
Earlier on, Serbia was told that it need not recognize the so-called, pseudo state of Republic of Kosovo but it should get on board i.e. harmonize itself with pseudo-state Kosovo’s UN membership. One wonders if there is still a prerequisite of any sort. There hasn’t been any mention of it, it has not officially been presented anywhere whatsoever. Not even on the web pages of EU governing institutions and not even on those by their counterparts in the government of Serbia, its explicit and overt UN membership is nowhere to be seen in written form. But surely the intention is obvious; the legal/political intent is there.
But perhaps that could also be a thing the Western ‘pseudo mediators’ masquerading around with no granted or approved mandate whatsoever, might as well give up on at some point and perhaps only then will they, with their arms flailing, present that as a huge ‘compromise’ offered to Serbia. A question arises what they would gain if they do so. They would seize an opportunity to squeeze the so-called Kosovo in through barely visible legal and political loopholes and get it to join the Council of Europe (Let me illustrate my point here: try to imagine those obnoxious and incompetent Josep Borell, Miroslav Laicak and Gabriel Escobar hoodwinking the whole world in the manner Del Boy from BBC’s Only fools and horses would do with his mates in the local Peckham flea market), join the Council of Europe where they do have mathematical majority but to get Kosovo into the EU and NATO as well.
Serbia’s stance with the pseudo state Kosovo joining the UN is not the real issue here (because Serbia is not throwing political temper tantrums here in vain because it is first and foremost unconstitutional to ever sign any such legal or political document per se and relinquish one inch of our territory). We might put some ‘tongue in cheek’ thought to it though, once France lets Corsica go, the UK let Gibraltar and the Falklands go or perhaps even crying out loud Scotland, among many others or once Spain let Catalonia go or perhaps let Basque Country go their separate political ways and kiss each other goodbye, and so on and so forth.
To get back to the Kosovo issue, we in Serbia do essentially staunchly oppose its recognition though) yet the Collective West and grotesque Kurti, the work-in-progress Zelensky of the pseudo state of Kosovo, tend to conveniently forget that the diplomatic slap-in-the-face but hands in gloves style’ veto can be put forth by Russia and China. For all those ignorant woke looney leftists in the Collective West and all their NATO jackals snapping at our political feet in Serbia, them screaming hysterically pro Albin Kurti, let me clarify this: for one candidate to become UN member there needs to be a two-third majority in the UN General Assembly and the consent by the UN Security Council. The so-called, pseudo Kosovo Republic does not meet any of these requirements. That is the reason why said set of requirements are as follows: the above mentioned UN Charter, the UN underlying basic principles, good neighbourly relations and Serbian territorial integrity; in this manner Serbia is sending off a clear message to the EU member states and NATO, despite the fact that the so-called Kosovo Republic will not be joining the UN, we might agree (in its rather ‘far-fetched’ and ‘distant future’, ‘carrot-and-stick’ variant aka never) to its becoming an EU member state and NATO.
One should bear in mind that within the EU, five countries have not yet established bilateral agreements with the pseudo state of Kosovo. The toughest opponent to it is Spain which is the most explicit in its steadfast approach and surely Cyprus, which is the most hard-headed opponent as well with their most resounding ‘No’ to the whole sorry affair. Four members within NATO are also harshly against this. In a nutshell, there are certainly clear obstacles for the pseudo state of Kosovo to join EU and NATO. With the EU issue, that process of joining the EU would most probably be set in some political motion at a very slow speed (Turkey comes to mind) but never to be completed. There is surely a huge issue of them ‘legalizing and legitimizing’ the pseudo state of Kosovo status in all these aspects. With this French-German Plan at hand now in all its far-fetched, narrow fetched and (im)possible eventuality, that political door would be wide open to the so-called republic/pseudo state of Kosovo.
What would change if the so-called pseudo state of Kosovo were to join NATO? Let us be honest to each other, NATO could not care less about the poor people in Kosovo and Metohija be it Serbs or local minorities, they only want to plunder our plentiful resources there, to ensure drug trafficking, human trafficking and jihadis unimpeded routes all the way to Europe for their dirty money business deals and to gain ever stronger NATO military foothold against Russia and China). In case Serbia OK-ed it by any meagre chance, all status ‘negotiations’ would be in effect finished, over and done with (Mind you, these are and never have been negotiations but U.S. and the Collective West strong-arming the tiny vulnerable, Serbia in the NATO ever expanding onslaught towards Russia).
Serbia in that case would not de jure establish bilateral agreements with Pristina, because the so-called Republic of Kosovo is not a UN member, so the status issue would not be over at all, yet they will then de facto be given a chance to join each and any international organization which might suit their fancy, particularly in the international organizations where the mathematical majority is held by the Collective West countries. In that case, the whole issue would be in its political essence finished. Moreover, Serbia’s own political, geopolitical and strategic position would be in an extremely detrimental position. Following the same brutally murderous model already seen in Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro, the status of the Albanian minority in Presevo and Bujanovac would soon sneakingly seep their way into the daily political NATO agenda here through all the politically cancerous cracks and faultlines, of which all the power- and profit- hungry NATO puppets are well aware of via their intelligence service which keep their ears close to the ground, which would then give rise to the next detrimental and possibly Ukraine-style tragic bloodbath to have to cope with shortly in the whole of the Balkans and Europe too.
All manner of reciprocal arrangements would have to be come up with, because the ‘Zelensky-style’ political Pristina would elbow its way further and forever, and the status of our Serbian community in Kosovo and Metohija would be in severe danger from the Shqiptari extremists so the Serbian nation both there and in Serbia Proper would be sadly stuck in a rut of its defense position again. It would also be a huge challenge as to how to function in those most dangerously hostile political surroundings. It would then badly mirror the Serbian complete position in international relations regardless of the fact whether we give our tacit or formal recognition to Kosovo or not. Serbia would find itself in an awkward and unenviable position to have been previously diplomatically kindly asking other countries to withdraw their recognition of the pseudo state of Kosovo and support her political position but then all of a sudden to give it up completely on your part.
This will reverberate wrongly for the whole position of the country of Serbia in our international relations. This French-German proposal seems to be both part of the problem and part of the solution for Serbia. Serbia shall rather remain adamant in its intention to give a staunch statement to the whole political world to never forget the Resolution 1244. At present we see a huge stampede of pseudo experts and analysts, envoys and representatives line-up jetting in and out of the official Belgrade and in (for Serbia: unofficial) Pristina, telling us of their own, often incompetent interpretations and solutions to our woes but of their making. They threaten us with a platter of sanctions of all sorts, they offer us meaningless options aka ultimatums, forgetting all along that the Serbs are allergic to ultimatums. They tell us if we say yes, we shall be able to be issued visas into EU at the click of a button,, and to swap our centuries old Serbian Orthodox Monastery of Decani for the idiotic Parndorf shopping center fleeting and utterly ludicrous shopping tours to Vienna, Austria, but sadly in all this EU/NATO/USA puppet show of amateurs, an ominous mixture of newly emerging future geopolitical issues seem to be taking shape only to become part of the daily agenda to be dealt with urgently at some later point in the near future, which will heavily burden not only Serbian national security but that of each and every country or community locally and regionally as well.
The so-called (pseudo) state of Kosovo (and Metohija) may be used by the Collective West as a political whip to try and brutally push Serbia into NATO so that Serbia in that case as a potential new country to join (which is not very probable at all) would have to prove itself as the youngest member to join. We would have to finalize all that process by way of, for instance, giving support to, in this context, Ukraine (which 87 % of the Serbs are staunchly against) and to take extreme stance against Russia or China or for NATO preferably both, in which case we would be left stranded without any allies, partners or true and kindhearted political friends in terms of any long term positioning in already weak and vulnerable international relations.
A lengthy new set of delicate issues seem to be raising their politically ugly heads, to which there is no clear nor obvious response or solution at all, in this Pandora’s box and possibly many more to be slapped on our political platter at this point when the world may possibly be teetering on the verge of the new Great (the Third) World War. The scenario offered with the Macron-Scholz cocktail aka the French-German Proposal for Serbia looks rather bleak and grim, which would cost us dearly historically, politically, geopolitically and economically. But rest assured all of you in the political Washington DC, London, Berlin and Brussels et al, with all your incompetent stampede of dilettantes in the shape of unmandated Gabriel Escobar, Laicak, Schmit, Borrell, Macron or Scholz, the Serbs shall resist with courage and bravery and beat you at your own political game in the end.
Will U.S. ‘Interests’ Become Sacrificed on Altar of New Indo-Pacific Strategy?
The Anglo-American foreign policy hawks imagine that the world is yearning to be liberated from Beijing’s nefarious agenda to end poverty
As the trans-Atlantic world is pulled into the vortex of a McCarthyite nightmare with a renewed wave of anti-Russian and now anti-China hysterics, a wave of new “Asia Pacific” doctrines have emerged across captured states… I mean “member” states throughout NATO.
Starting with the February 2022 American ‘Indo-Pacific Strategy’, similar anti-China programs have popped up left and right with one principled target in mind: eliminate the threat of China through every tool available.
By early June 2022, the UK announced its own branding of the Asia Pivot remixed into the oddly named ‘Indo-Pacific Tilt’ which focuses less on the liberal eco-friendly language of the EU and devotes itself entirely to vastly increasing its military presence in China’s backyard.
After NATO’s June 2022 Madrid Summit officially designated China as ‘a systemic rival’, Canada’s foreign ministry announced its own Indo-Pacific Strategy in November 2022 followed by an absurd 26 page program published in January 10, 2023 outlining the details of Canada’s new role in the Pacific (which will be the subject of a subsequent report).
On January 25, 2023 NATO’s ironically named ‘Science for Peace and Security Program’ launched a new ‘cooperative initiative on the Indo-Pacific, followed by a January 30, 2023 Atlantic Council Indo-Pacific Security Initiative focused on dealing with “China’s growing threat to the international order”. The same day the Atlantic Council unveiled this new doctrine, an American intelligence spook named Markus Garlauskas was named the program’s new director.
While efforts have been made to avoid using an explicitly militaristic language within the majority of the seemingly unconnected reports outlined above, the fact is that what is emerging is a mutation of Obama’s toxic ‘Asia Pivot’. Unlike the small kinetic wars against non-nuclear states like Iraq or Libya, this new war plan against China is a diverse hodgepodge of every single tool of asymmetrical war launched all at once and targeting not only China, but more importantly China’s weaker neighbors. Besides the obvious conventional military and color revolutionary techniques which I’ve written about extensively in other locations, this new era of Indo-Pacific Strategies rely upon:
1- Seducing Asian neighbors into trade deals, economic partnerships, and military partnerships with the Trans Atlantic community which pull them out of China’s orbit
2- Coerce China’s neighbors into military agreements with the U.S., Canada, the EU and especially the absurd ‘Global NATO’ advocated by Jens Stoltenberg and his think tank clones in Brussels and Washington.
3- Promote an anti-Chinese human rights consensus to justify endless sanctions on Beijing for imagined abuses of Tibetans, forced labor of Uyghurs and tyrannized Hong Kongers.
4- Induce as many nations in the Anglo-American sphere of influence to cut themselves off of business with China or Chinese state firms in order to defend the rules based order
5- Build an anti-development cage around China and its neighboring regions under the guise of ‘ecosystems management’, ‘green finance’, ‘decarbonization’ and ‘ocean conservation’
6- Construct new trade alliances in the Pacific to counteract both China’s maritime Silk Road and also the China-led Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) with an ambiguously titled U.S.-led Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF)
Since the architects of this agenda are not known for their commitment to reality, the objectives also include a fair amount of tools that aren’t available but are imagined to be so.
Chief among the list of imaginary tools to subdue China, we find the incredible economic power of the mighty U.S. dollar whose business everyone in the world is believed to desperately desire.
Take the example of some champions of the anti-China program writing at The Hill who criticized IPEF not for being delusional- but rather not for being delusional enough saying: “The IPEF neglects one of the secrets of U.S. success in Asia- access to U.S. markets. It was this lure and a U.S. regional security umbrella that fostered the economic miracles of Japan and South Korea after World War II and later Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and China itself”.
Ignoring the fact that the once viable U.S. economy of the post-WWII decades has become a hollowed out shell of de-industrialized rot replaced with a cancerous speculative bubble economy, the authors of the article cited above exhibit a complete ignorance to the reality that the only insecurity shaking the foundations of the Asia Pacific is caused by the belligerent antagonisms of an insecure dumb giant overcompensating for its own mediocrity and impending collapse.
Despite the fact that China is the undisputed driver of economic growth, national banking and scientific progress in the world, the Anglo-American foreign policy hawks drafting the Indo-Pacific Agenda imagine that the world is somehow yearning to be liberated from Beijing’s nefarious agenda to end poverty, increase food production, build infrastructure and reconstruct war torn sectors of the globe that have been shredded by NATO-led bombing campaigns.
Even if one disregards my remarks about China’s program as “romantic idealism” and instead consider only the basic self-interest of anyone doing business with China, the basic economic facts of China’s trade relationship with its neighbors should cause anyone with half a brain to recognize where Asian-Pacific nations see as the principled force of their present and future prosperity.
Take the case of the U.S. military colony of Japan, which saw China consume over 20% of her trade exports in 2020, surpassing the USA and which increased from $146 billion to $206 billion in 2021. Despite being run by synthetic puppets clamoring for antagonism with China, Japan much more dependent on China economically than any other nation, including the USA.
Or take South Korea – another candidate for the Pacific NATO and second largest military colony of the Pacific behind Japan, whose largest trading partner is China running up to the tune of $240 billion between 2016-2021 (contrasted with a mere $131 billion with the USA over that same period). Without China, South Korea’s economy literally falls to pieces.
Despite the fact that the USA is desperately trying to intimidate nations of Asia to partner up with itself in opposition to China, Beijing’s trade with all 10 ASEAN nations rose by an incredible 71% over last year and grew 41% with India – both of whom share common interests with Russia, Iran, Africa and the broader multipolar alliance.
The European Union has conducted its fair share of blood-letting under Anglo American pressure over the past year.
First by slashing access to cheap and abundant Russian oil and natural gas, but then by freezing a long-awaited EU-China Comprehensive Agreement on Investments in May 2021 after China counter sanctioned five European parliamentarians for using CIA-propaganda to justify a sanction regime onto China over alleged abuses of Uyghurs. The freezing of this deal was followed Brussel’s decision to begin imposing tariffs onto Chinese aluminum and by Germany’s cancelling of a Chinese purchase of a chip manufacturer and blocking of China’s purchase of an un-named construction firm. As of January 30, Thierry Breton, European Commissioner for International Markets attested to the EU’s devotion “to the goal of choking China’s semiconductor industry” and went on to say “We fully agree with the objective of depriving China of the most advanced chips. We cannot allow China to access the most advanced technologies”.
Despite these ugly facts, the fact remains that the EU is still (and will continue to be) completely reliant upon trade with Beijing which is still by far the EU’s #1 trade partner. Not only is China the biggest source of exports to the EU (making up 22% of exports in 2021 and whose bilateral trade amounted to $711 billion during the first 10 months of 2022), but the EU is also dependent upon rare earth metals controlled by China (which controls nearly 90% of global supplies). It should be noted that before the USA announced its Indo-Pacific Strategy in February 2022, the EU had already made its own intentions clear to launch its ‘EU Strategy for Cooperation in the Indo-Pacific’ in September 2021 except with the important difference that China was not targeted as a rival or ‘systemic disrupter’ but rather as a partner in cooperation. This spirit of cooperation was obviously intolerable to an oligarchy seeking to set the stage for a new dark age.
Not that this obvious fact should need to be stated, trade with Russia, the Russian-led EAEU, the African Union, Southwest Asia, Central Asia, Gulf States and CELAC nations has also increased in leaps and bounds this year showing no signs of reversal.
I’ve stated this before, and I’ll say it again: China, Russia and every other nation sitting on the other side of the trans-Atlantic gated community are extremely aware of the precarious time bomb that is the Wall Street-City of London bubble banking system.
While synthetic shells might currently be sitting in positions of management within the capitals of Germany, France, Japan, Taiwan and other abused sacrificial states, the vast majority of the people, business class and intelligentsia knows that the script that celebrated a new world order and ‘end of history’ in 1992 no longer applies to the Eurasian-led world.
Barring a mindlessly desperate unleashing of nuclear warheads in the short term, the very fact of the real centers of gravity caused by the pro-growth, human-centric priorities of Eurasia led by China’s evolving Belt and Road initiative ensure that the storms which WILL befall the western world will not be everlasting nor will the dark abyss caused by the meltdown of the banking system be something which cannot be replaced by a viable economic and security architecture more befitting the human species.
Appeasement: the shocking truth about the 1938 Munich Agreement (part 1 of 3)
(Video report & 3-part article) With escalating tensions between Russia and the west, we keep hearing about Munich and about Appeasement that led to World War II. But the truth of those events has remained widely misunderstood. As one meme going around in the social media says, “If the news are fake, imagine how bad history is!” To avoid sleepwalking into another great war, it is essential that we understand what really happened in 1938. Prepare, it is nothing like they taught us in school.
The war drums between Russia and the west have been beating ever louder. Here’s just the past few weeks’ news:
- On Friday, 12 November 2021 Polish defense minister Mariusz Blasczak announced that the UK deployed a squad of British soldiers to Poland where they would help repair and fortify border fences that were breached by Middle Eastern migrants and provide reconnaissance and monitoring activities.
- The very same day, two US Congressmen have urged President Joe Biden to provide advanced weapons to Ukraine and “deploy a U.S. military presence in the Black Sea.”
- Only two days later the outgoing head of the UK Chief of Defence Staff, General Sir Nick Carter stated that the UK military would have to be ready for war with Russia.
- Then the UK announced that the British military would enhance its permanent presence of troops and tanks in Germany to face “the Russian threat.” Hundreds of vehicles including tanks and drones will be deployed to Germany.
- More troops and some 250 military vehicles could be deployed to Estonia, where the UK has led a 1,000-strong battle group on a mission to deter Russian aggression.
Many war hawks in the west have sought to escalate the rhetoric by drawing parallels with the events of 1938. Referring to Vladimir Putin, Congressman Adam Kinzinger (RINO-IL) said: “We can retreat from the Sudetenland and hope he doesn’t intend to rebuild all the Soviet Union.” The not so subtle insinuation was that today Ukraine is Sudetenland, that Vladimir Putin is Hitler and that the West must confront him decisively and with force if necessary. The analogy is completely off mark, but since it is now being thrown about casually, we should be clear about exactly what happened in the late 1930s.
1939: the last time Britain helped Poland’s security
Today’s tensions have followed years of deteriorating relations between Russia and the Western powers, but it was the deployment of British troops to Poland and Germany that invoked the most disconcerting parallels with the events leading to World War II. What we are about to explore is largely based on Carroll Quigley’s “Tragedy and Hope,” published in 1966, one of the most important history books ever published as it reveals the hidden powers that have shaped the history of the world between 1895 and 1965. Tragedy and Hope is perhaps best exemplified by the passage that is today quoted quite frequently:
“The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. … The growth of financial capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and use of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and direct injury of all other economic groups.”
In its 1311 pages, professor Quigley meticulously traces historical events that abundantly corroborate that alarming assertion.
Today we’ll look at the real history before and after the 1938 appeasement. As we do so, please keep in mind that in the 1930s, Britain was the dominant power in world diplomacy, exerting disproportionate policy influence in Europe and much of the world. It controlled the maritime trade routes and the flow of capital through London which reigned supreme as the world’s financial capital. Nearly all governments in Europe conducted foreign policy in consultations with London and as Quigley wrote, “in general, the key to everything was the position of Britain.” Because Poland could today become one of the key geopolitical flashpoints, we’ll begin our story with Britain’s 1939 guarantee of Poland, and then work back to the 1938 Munich Agreement which resulted from Britain’s policy of Appeasement.
Following the destruction of Czechoslovakia in September 1938, Germany turned its attention to Poland. At first, it was just diplomacy: the talks with Poland kicked off on 21 October 1938. As expected, German representatives asked the Polish government for the city of Danzig and a kilometer-wide strip across the Polish Corridor to accommodate a highway and four-track railroad under German sovereignty. These were deemed moderate requests and they were made to the Polish ally in a relatively cordial atmosphere. The territories in question were parts of Germany that she’d lost by Versailles treaty after the World War I, so German demands didn’t seem outrageous. At that time Hitler did not intend to overrun Poland, but rather to engage her in the forthcoming onslaught against Russia. If his demands were granted, Germany was prepared to reciprocate with certain concessions to Poland. However, the Polish government did not yield to German demands.
A few months later, on 21 March 1939, Hitler reiterated his demands, this time more forcefully. When the news of this reached London, UK’s Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain suddenly and unilaterally issued a strangely worded security guarantee for Poland:
“Certain consultations are now proceeding with other governments. In order to make perfectly clear the position of His Majesty’s Government in the meantime, before those consultations are concluded, I now have to inform the House [of Commons] that during that period, in the event of any action which clearly threatened Polish independence and which the Polish Government accordingly considered it vital to resist with their national forces, His Majesty’s Government would feel themselves bound at once to lend the Polish Government all support in their power.”
This was the first time Britain made such a commitment to another nation since 1918. Not only did the British government commit to guarantee a foreign nation, it also gave that nation the privilege to decide when the guarantee would take effect, while asking for nothing in return. Importantly, the British only guaranteed Poland’s independence, not its territorial integrity. In that, they left the door wide open for Germany to continue pressuring Poland for territorial concessions.
Britain’s betrayal of Poland
Britain’s guarantee emboldened the Polish leadership to harden their stance vis-à-vis Germany in the mistaken belief that Britain and France would have unleashed a full-scale offensive against Germany if Hitler decided to strike at Poland.” Unaware of the British guarantee at first, Hitler was surprised by Poland’s sudden defiance. But if the intention of the British guarantee was to deter Germany, its effect was exactly the opposite. When Hitler did learn about it, he immediately decided to attack Poland. During a secret conference with his generals on 23 May 1939, Hitler said that, “The Polish problem is inseparable from the conflict with the West. … Poland sees danger in a German victory in the West and will attempt to rob us of a victory there. There is, therefore, no question of sparing Poland, and we are left with the decision: to attack Poland at the first suitable opportunity.” The plan was to launch the attack before September 1939.
But beyond the verbal guarantee, Britain did next to nothing to ensure Poland’s security: it made no real effort to build up a defense front with Poland and no military arrangements were made as to how Britain and Poland would cooperate in a war. Britain’s efforts to rearm Poland were delivered late, in inadequate amounts and in an unworkable form. At the same time, it continued to provide very substantial support to Germany.
In May 1939 when Chamberlain issued his guarantee, there was talk about a £100 million loan to Poland, but the British stalled and delayed, delivering far too little and far too late: Poland finally obtained a small credit of $8,163,300 only one month before the German invasion. At the same time, as Quigley writes, “all London was buzzing about a secret loan of £1,000,000,000 from Britain to Germany,” more than a hundred times the meager credit extended to Poland. The rumors were in fact corroborated by Hitler himself. Speaking of these events in August 1942, he said:
“Schacht had told me that we had at our disposal a credit of fifteen hundred million marks abroad, and it was on this basis that I planned my Four Year Plan, which never caused me the slightest anxiety… And this is how things are today, and we never find ourselves blocked for money.”
The Schacht thatHitler was referring to was his then Economy Minister, Hjalmar Schacht, former Wall Street banker, head of the Reichsbank and a very close associate of Bank of England’s chief Montagu Norman.
Far from discouraging German aggression, British actions only bolstered Hitler in his determination. During a secret conference with his generals held on 22 August 1939, Hitler said:
“The following is characteristic of England. Poland wanted a loan from England for rearmament. England, however, gave only a credit to make sure that Poland buys in England, although England cannot deliver. This means that England does not really want to support Poland.”
Indeed, Hitler was right: Britain only signed a formal alliance with Poland on 25 August 1939, the very day when Hitler ordered the invasion of Poland and far too late to change the course of events. At a time when the British public opinion was deeply opposed to Nazi Germany, that move was intended more to assuage the British public than to provide any meaningful support to Poland. But the fact that Britain did have the influence to change the course of events became apparent: upon learning of the British-Polish alliance, the stubborn, unstoppable Hitler immediately reversed his orders to invade Poland, (only a few hours after he had issued them). However, the pause wasn’t used to sue for peace and the invasion went ahead after only a week’s delay on September 1, 1939.
All these events beg the question: why did Britain so consistently miss every chance to preserve peace on the continent and restrain Hitler? Why did the British and American corporations and bankers provide such abundant support to Nazi Germany even when it was abundantly clear that most of this support was being used for rearmament? We can glean the answers to these questions in the wider agenda behind their geopolitics.
The greater agenda: a three-bloc word
Keeping up the appearance of trying to restrain Hitler while covertly aiding and abetting him was the hallmark of British secret diplomacy through much of the 1930s. The covert support for Hitler was in fact a part of the larger, “three-bloc-world” agenda. After the Munich conference in September 1938, Lord Halifax who was one of the main players in British foreign policy revealed how the ruling establishment envisioned those three blocks::
- “Germany [as] the dominant power on the continent with predominant rights in southeastern Europe,”
- Britain dominating Euro-Atlantic west in alliance with the United States, and
- Securing Far-Eastern dominions in alliance with Japan.
Britain’s seven-point policy toward Germany
In this vision of a new global order, Germany would be built up and supported not only as a dominating power in Central and Eastern Europe, but also as a bludgeon to wield against Russia. With that objective in mind, the British foreign policy establishment had formulated a seven-point policy toward Germany which was communicated to German officials by various spokesmen from 1937 onward:
- Hitler’s Germany was the front-line bulwark against the spread of Communism in Europe
- A four-Power pact of Britain, France, Italy, and Germany to prevent all Russian influence in Europe was the ultimate objective; accordingly, Britain had no desire to weaken the Rome-Berlin Axis
- Britain had no objection to German acquisition of Austria, Czechoslovakia and Danzig.
- Germany must not use force to achieve its aims in Europe as this could precipitate a war in which Britain would have to intervene because of the pressure of public opinion in Britain and the French system of alliances; with patience, Germany could get its aims without using force.
- Britain wanted an agreement with Germany restricting the numbers and the use of bombing planes
- Britain was prepared – conditionally – to give Germany colonial areas in south-central Africa, including the Belgian Congo and Portuguese Angola.
- Britain would use pressure on Czechoslovakia and Poland to negotiate with Germany and to be conciliatory to Germany’s desires.
After the Munich crisis and dismemberment of Czechoslovakia, an eighth point was added to the program, which entailed economic support for Germany. Thus, British support for Germany’s annexation of Austria, destruction of Czechoslovakia and invasion of Poland were the result of a covert policy that deliberately created a monster in the heart of Europe. However, the true story about the sacrifice of Czechoslovakia to this monster suggests that Britain’s secret diplomacy not only supported Hitler, but actually directed the events from behind the curtains.
In Part 2 we’ll look at the shameful role of British secret diplomacy that led up to the partition of Czechoslovakia and the 1938 Munich Agreement.
