Russia Seeks To Pry U.S. from Europe

Says 'Eurofascism the common enemy of Moscow and Washington'

• Russia's foreign intelligence agency seeks to drive wedge between EU and the U.S.

• Says Europe has a tendency to totalitarianism and periodic global war

• EU warns leaders of punishment if they attend 80th WW2 parade in Moscow

• Danger of a new conflict follows on the heels of Europe's economic collapse

• Tariff war is a symptom of the offshoring that has hollowed out nations

• Russia and China didn't cause that - it was Western hyper-financialisation

The question is not whether countries proceed to a more centralised form of world government; nor is it whether the U.S. under Trump is in suddenly in the hands of oligarchs -- as if either is new.

The issue is whether financial cartels control government, or whether government defends the common good against private special interests.

Factions and syndicates have always run the world. The issue is the nature or character of society.

It is up to the people of Europe and the West to decide what they want their society to be; and if we don't make that choice, we can't complain if someone else decides for us.

It is up to the people of Europe and the West to decide the future of our society

Europe has a totalitarian tendency which periodically leads to world war, according to an article by Russia’s foreign intelligence service (SVR).

A remarkable statement coming from the country of Bolshevism and yet historical perspective reveals a few uncomfortable truths, not least that the Americans, British and Germans hosted and helped install the Bolsheviks in the first place.

See Herbert Hoover and the Russian Famine Relief Act of 1921, and professor Antony Sutton's trilogy Wall Street And The Bolshevik Revolution, Wall Street and FDR, Wall Street and the rise of Hitler (1974-1976) which can be found online as PDFs.

It echoes the statement of Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov that the U.S. must distance itself from the governments of Europe.

"They (the Europeans) have literally gone haywire in their frenzy, primarily the leaders of France, Britain and the Baltics... Unlike the Europeans Donald Trump's administration has tried to get to the bottom of this issue."

The SVR broadside — hard hitting or head-scratching, depending on your view — is published weeks before the anniversary of Victory in Europe day, or what Russians call The Great Patriotic War on May 9th. [1]

The European Commission directorate in Brussels has instructed EU leaders not to attend the commemorations in Moscow.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has said he'll be there. He's already attracted NATO-EC ire for not imposing sanctions on Russia.

Former Belgian prime minister Guy Verhofstadt said Serbia's EU membership application must be placed on hold.

Behind the boycott of a military parade is a bigger issue. Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán opposes not just the war but Ukrainian membership of the EU.

Manfred Weber, the German leader of the European People’s party in the European parliament, is corralling the opposition to Hungary. [2]

The pro-war faction among European politicians even targets the U.S. — French MEP Raphaël Glucksmann said Americans "have chosen to side with the tyrants" and should give back the Statue of Liberty to France.

Moscow's foreign intelligence agency is clearly seeking to drive a wedge between Europe and the U.S.

False binary

But the narrative in Europe and the West also gets twisted.

The legacy media push theories like Trump is captured by Putin, or the Americans are leaving the job of fighting Russia to the Europeans, while they take on China.

Beware false paradigms that the Russians, Chinese, Europeans and Americans are all on the same side, and the war is a distraction while they prepare us for a one-world government of digital slavery.

The question is not whether countries proceed to a more centralised form of world government; nor is it whether the U.S. under Trump is in suddenly in the hands of oligarchs — as if either is news.

The issue is whether the economy must be based on forever war, as described by George Orwell in Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) or upon a productive development and security architecture.

The issue is whether governments remain in the hands of financial cartels or defend the common good against private special interests.

As we said of money, it's not that paper money is bad, it's whether it is used to create a hyper-financialised casino or a productive economy in which people can live from their labour.

By misframing the question, and posing a false binary, much of the alternative media is serving what Orwell called the oligarchical collectivists. You may know them as the European elite with their (post) imperial aspirations, or the corporate-run governments.

Factions and syndicates have always run the world. The issue is the nature or character of society.

And whether a hundred years of women securing equal rights ends with them being fed into a meat grinder.
