Germany May Vote In Vain For Change - Election polls suggest more of the same (Feb 21, 2025)

Germany’s Leica remains a sharp eye on our world. Also made in Canada.

Feb 22, 2025

Germany's elections are taking place on a broader stage than usual, shaped by external politics and having a global impact.

The major topics — jobs, energy costs and living standards, and the so-called centrists' enthusiasm for war — are common to elections elsewhere.

Once Germany helped industrialise the world, from Canada and the U.S. to Japan. Now its industrial giants are fleeing.

The European Commission, the unelected directoire that runs the continent from Brussels, surveys from its eagle's nest that part of the population which dissents from the EC's claim to be the paragon of everything democratic.

Last June's pan-continental elections for the European Parliament, in France and Austria, and regional votes in eastern Germany, revealed a public restless for change — and yet the "centrists" maneouvred to neutralise and exclude that voice.

They were aided by a sizeable lump of the electorate that always vote for the establishment parties.

Since then we have seen the EC squash elections in eastern Europe, going so far as to have the Romanian election in December annulled.

In part one we examined why the EC behaves in this way, allergic to debate, pushing through policy framed in binary language of "for or against democracy."

See Germany May Vote In Vain For Change - Election polls suggest more of the same (Feb 21, 2025)

The reasons lie in the EC's foundation, its lack of a constitution, despite evolving from an economic community into a something like the Directoire of the French First Republic with aspirations to reshape Europe in its image.

Like Le Directoire finances are in a state, its currency (then the assignat now the euro) in crisis — in the words of Mirabeau "the deficit was the treasure of the nation."

Then as now the answer is war.

The assignat, taking preference over other forms of money, was to be paid first to the creditors of the state — an ominous parallel to the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) established in 2012 for Europe's taxpayers to pay for banks' losses, on an unlimited and permanent basis.

But we digress. Let us turn first to Germany.

We looked at the polls, and if they are not manipulated (a big if) they suggest the centrist uniparty will remain.

If the Alterative for Deutschland does better, expect the usual allegations of baleful TikTok influence in the German elections, directed at AfD of course.

The truth is more prosaic. The AfD being a newer party has used social media from the start. Thus it has attracted many more members online. It also uses social media as a discussion forum to shape policy, where the established parties use it for messaging such as, "fight the right."

The AfD's parliamentary account has 563,300 followers on TikTok, the SPD has 159,700 and the Greens surprisingly just 24,000.

This is worth bearing in mind when the familiar allegations of "foreign actors buying influencers" emerge

Dissatisfaction with the economy was addressed in part one. The quashing of dissent, if necessary, will follow the Romanian model.

Romania revotes

In December Romania's top court cancelled the election in which Calin Georgescu was leading.

Romanian television has exposed the timeline of interference by French president Emmanuel Macron and his team. It began with a visit by candidate Elena Lasconi to the French embassy, at which she asked for direct support in the election. She allegedly had a videoconference with Macron two days before the election in which Macron called her rival Georgescu a threat to Europe. [1]

In some cases Brussels is directly involved, in others it lends support, while suppressing free speech across Europe.

Thierry Breton, commissioner for digital censorship (until he resigned in September) said in January, “We did it in Romania, and we will do it in Germany,” referring to the cancellation of that election.

To be charitable, Breton may have been making a cynical statement, since he had resigned accusing EC president Ursula von der Leyen of "questionable governance."

Oiler bankers

What's at stake is not as simple as "We are democracy" in the sense that Dr Anthony Fauci declared "I represent science."

EC president Ursula von der Leyen's unflinching support for Ukraine's fight for independence and freedom, as she travels to Kyiv to mark the third anniversary of Russia's invasion on February 24, is not without self interest.

Our opening sentence — elections are taking place on a broader stage than usual, shaped by external politics, and having a global impact — frames Germany and Ukraine, NATO and the European Union as using spontaneous crises to advance the globalist project.

While Germany gears up for a change of government, so does Canada: the former being the crucible of the "United States of Europe," the latter being a dominion of the British Crown.

Those who know their history will acknowledge that the Third Reich and the City of London, long with the Anglo American Establishment, were collaborators. The youth they sacrificed, like the Russians, Ukrainians and Western mercenaries, were the grist in the mill or the meat grinder that reshaped Europe.

Trilateral world

The oiler and banker David Rockefeller set up the Trilateral Commission in 1973. Three years later it began to integrate China into the world, courting then paramount leader Deng Xiaoping. The Rockefellers had been already active in China for a century.

Last year’s announcement from the Rockefeller institution represents the intention to replace free-market or laissez-faire liberalism with managed and engineered outcomes. The Nikkei Asia report on the Trilateral Commission puts a new gloss on the meeting. Published in March 2024 it was not widely reported in the West.

Patrick Wood, author of Trilaterals Over Washington (1978-1980) with the late Antony Sutton, said “the boundaries of the world are being redrawn as we speak and it does not look good for the USA.” [2]

Central bankers

When he wrote the book, private bankers dominated the Commission. Now central banks, as fronts for those same private bankers, have stepped into the limelight.

Germany’s front runner Friedrich Merz is the former head of BlackRock Europe, a big-three asset manager that represents the richest families on the planet.

Canada’s front runner to replace prime minister Justin Trudeau is former governor of the central banks of England and Canada, Mark Carney — one of the architects of Net Zero.

His colleague Agustín Carstens, general manager of the Bank for International Settlements is orchesrating central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) that are on the brink of release.

The focus on control via energy — a long term aim of technocracy — is central. Investment will be directed to follow energy transformation. War in Ukraine had shifted priorities, the meeting in New Delhi heard.

According to the off-the-record style of the Trilateral Commission one unnamed speaker said:

“Three decades of globalization — defined as integrated, free-market based and deflationary — has been replaced by what will be a multidecade period of globalization defined as fragmented, not-free-market-based but industrial-policy based and structurally inflationary. This year, 2023, is Year One of this new global order.”

Mark Carnage

To illustrate the pivotal role of the central banks in this global transformation, consider the joke of a coronation of Carney, former governor of the central banks of Canada (2008 to 2013) and England (2013 to 2020).

Mark Carney is not at all an elitist World Economic Forum globalist, one of the main proponents of carbon taxes from which he says no business can be exempt, regardless of the regulatory burden.

He did not even say that companies which fail to comply with his Green Horizon standards will be forced to close.

The popular candidate, nationally and within the Liberal party, Ruby Dhalla wasn't kicked out because she was a threat to his coronation.

/Sarc

Oh, yes he did and she was.

If you think Justin Trudeau's dynastic arrogance was repulsive, Carney takes it to a whole new level. Consider the foreign influence upon Carney, who holds three citizenships and answers to the private owners of the central banks, and has never been elected to any office.

For those who don't follow Canada, Dhalla is a businesswoman and head of a hotel chain, of Indian and Sikh origin.

So she was accused of — you guessed it — "potential" foreign interference!

"Sources close to the leadership contest suggest that the party launched an internal probe after intelligence surfaced hinting at possible external influences in her campaign. While the Liberal Party has remained tight-lipped about the specifics, reports indicate that concerns were raised about Dhalla’s alleged ties to individuals and entities with links to the Indian government." [3]

Starting point

When topics seem too local, the answer is to zoom out and look at the broader picture. What links Germany's economic contraction and Canada's doldrums?

Mainstream economists ignore the banking crisis of 2007-11 as if it were an unrelated blip.

But this the sub-prime mortgage crisis, and the bigger collateralised mortgage obligation fraud, were not unrelated happenstance.

In short, it stemmed from the repeal of the U.S. Glass-Steagall Act, enacted in 1933 after the Wall Street Crash to stop banks gambling with depositors’ money. The Clinton administration removed the protections in 1999, in the middle of the Dot Com bubble.

Clinton's Democratic administration was responsible for much deregulation that benefited the plutocrats.

Bill Clinton's presidency was a tipping point when the balance of corporate and individual power tilted irreversibly.

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 removed the obstacles to media consolidation, which, in turn, allowed them to control the narrative.

Three-strikes legislation massively expanded for-profit prisons. NAFTA stripped the protections that kept factories within national borders.

De-industrialisation and degrowth

Margaret Thatcher's clash with the British miners in 1984 and the destruction of the labour unions would be followed by the closure of the mines, and then of the coal-fired power stations — the last one shut in 2024.

It took 40 years.

See Mad World Of Climate, Green De-Growth & War - Decentralised energy and power is the answer (Nov 02, 2024)

At some point in the 1980s, prime minister Thatcher, president Mitterrand and prime minister Chirac of France, and chancellor Kohl of West Germany, decided to de-industrialise, and shift Europe to a service sector.

When Margaret Thatcher took power in 1979, almost half the workforce was in a trades union and the top one per cent owned about five per cent of the wealth.

The Keynesian aim of "full employment" would be ditched, and interest rates used instead to drive down activity and thus inflation. Henry Ford's aim of creating a workforce that could afford to buy his products was replace with financialisation and credit.

The “Washington consensus" was a set of economic prescriptions in the 1980s and 90s, mostly privatisation, free trade and financialisation. For developing nations this was the beginning of the emerging markets boom as they removed protection of domestic industries.

Workers would be blamed for economic decline. Their power must be crushed to restore profitability to British capital. President Ronald Reagan elected in 1980 shared the same view.

Hastening collapse

In the past five years the standout policy has been the Covid response; not the pandemic but the magic by which every country in the world hit upon the same policies, including those that turned out to be wrong.

Like quarantining healthy people and shutting down the economy and schools for something that Bill Gates admitted in May 2022 was “a disease mainly of the elderly, kind of like the flu.” [4]

You can skip this section on Covid if you already recognise the response as co-ordinated globalist policy.

No centrist politician thought to question at the time a policy that devastated the economy and humanity. They obeyed in lock step.

Like politicians, economists have been circumspect about the damage the Covid response wrought upon the economy.

In the few Covid enquiries to be held, most politicians insist that the lockdowns should have been imposed faster and harsher.

Brookings Institution economists conclude that Europeans opted for lesser stimulus and consequently lower inflation compared to the U.S. which has recovered more strongly than the other 10 leading industrialisted nations. [5]

Recession, depression, devastation

Economists Jakub Hlávka and Adam Rose at the university of Southern California estimated the Covid response had cost the U.S. about 14 per cent of income in 2020 inflation adjusted dollars by 2023. [6]

They found the impact of the Covid response was twice the cost of the financial collapse and depression of 2007-2009. It was 20 times greater than the economic costs of the Nine Eleven attacks and the demolition of the World Trade Center - but this was only the pandemic's direct economic impact.

Research published in Nature Medicine estimates that over 400 million people worldwide have developed Long COVID.

But what is Long COVID?

Yale university researchers have found spike protein in blood more than two years after the shot - suggesting that "Long COVID" is in fact long-term exposure to the spike protein in the "safe and effective." [7]

Be aware that counter-narratives in parts of the "alt" media that spike protein does not exist may be an attempt to defang the baleful implication of Yale's findings.

Artificial future

What recovery lies ahead?

What plans do our European centrists have? What future for Germany, or Canada.

They are very different countries, the former in need of energy but a world leader in business management and industrial perfection; the latter best known for raw materials, and its industrial experience whittled away by NAFTA, into mostly assembly.

The Commission is very proud of its regulations. The problem is that regulations do not an economy make.

Europe is not a world leader in technology, partly due to the lack of foreign direct investment, and because of the aforementioned energy crisis

The continent also lacks the technological industry to run its own AI. One of its few world-class tech companies is Dutch chip maker ASML. Barring software specialist SAP, Germany does not have much of a tech sector.

The European Commission plans to develop its economy and optimise public services through artificial intelligence, which as we say at MC is cybernetics, the regulation of society by mathematical models and control of all living things through use of big data.

As a fan of old Leica cameras, MC knows that production was outsourced successfully to Canada, matching the quality standards of Wetzlar, Germany.

Oskar Barnack invented the Ur-Leica but Helmut Marx and later Walter Mandler, working in Ernst Leitz Canada (ELCAN), created the optic that was thought unachievable and reigned supreme for 50 years: the 50mm/f 1.0 Noctilux.
