Western Europe (part 3)

By giving the power to create money to the "markets", political leaders ceded control to the financiers, resulting in the total priority given to money and large financial groups and a lack of collective projects. As a result, the vast majority of the population believes that money is true wealth and does not understand that it is only a means of exchange based on a common belief in its value and that it is in fact only a means used by the social organization in place to control access to goods and services. Some citizens even come to describe production as an "outdated system",... absolutely amazing, amazing !! The notion of money as a means of access to goods and services, and not as wealth in itself, is almost considered a "conspiracy theory", but perhaps it was the purpose of education and manipulations of information...

From an economic development point of view, the priority given to financial gains for the benefit of a small minority rather than the development of the real economy is causing an economic crisis for the majority of the population. The continuous creation of money by central banks allows the richest to continue to enrich themselves financially, but it stifles the real economy, which, among other things, reduces the amount of money distributed in the form of wages and the investment capacity of SMEs. This creation of money leads to the creation of financial and real estate bubbles, which, for the vast majority of households, further reduces the amount available for purchases of products from other sectors of the economy while contributing to increased household debt. The interest paid increases more and more the share of wealth (in money) that goes to the financial sector and thus increases its power of control over society.
       Reductions in social budgets further accentuate the decline in the purchasing power distributed to the population, which contributes to the decline in state revenues and leads to further budgetary restrictions. The privatization of public goods further exacerbates the problem, causing unemployment to rise steadily. This cycle will continue until the living conditions of the population are such that they revolt and then the revolution or civil war comes to question this policy... unless the purpose of all these restrictions and manipulations is to prepare Europe for war against Russia, Iran and China at the expense of European populations who would be reduced to serving as cannon fodder to defend essentially non-European financial interests. To this must be added the extraordinary extension of bureaucratic regulation, one of the aims of which has been the reduction of self-production and an increasing pressure on small businesses in favor of large corporations in the hands of financiers.

While populations suffer a continual increase in state levies, large corporations benefit from measures allowing them to avoid taxes and even receive aid "for employment" or for the "economic development of the regions" while small and medium-sized enterprises are forced into bankruptcy or bought by the largest. From several dozen companies operating in the same market, we have grown to a few large companies each controlling one of the sectors. This has been the case in all areas, including the press, publishing, major media, in short, including what was a key sector for the distribution of information to the general public.

Privatisations have shifted control of key sectors of the real economy, such as railways, post, telecoms, etc... in the hands of large financial groups and this on favorable terms for them. The result has been either higher rates or a significant reduction in services offered or both. This does not necessarily mean that when in state hands these services functioned in an exemplary manner, but at least political intervention remained possible. The difference between mafia methods and certain commercial methods employed by very large groups is becoming increasingly tenuous. An example: if, as a precaution, following the poor services provided, you pay a final invoice yourself instead of letting the large company pump it out of your account, it will charge you a large fee for processing your payment. This should be considered legalized racketeering.

We must also take into account the countries of the former Eastern Bloc which are now part of the European Union. The populations of these countries switched to Europe as a result of propaganda carried out by European and American services. The main idea conveyed by this propaganda was that European stores were much better stocked than stores in the Eastern Bloc. In short, they were presented with a consumer society, the "American dream", presenting only the facade of our societies, without, for example, talking about the unenviable fate of millions of immigrant workers. But above all, Western propaganda completely obscured the foundations of this consumer society, which were essentially based on the creation of money at will by central banks thanks to petrodollars, whereas before the collapse of the USSR the level of volume production in the real economy was lower in the West than in the Eastern Bloc. On the other hand, as the economy of Western Europe was consumption-driven rather than production-driven, there was a greater choice of consumer goods in this part of Europe. The populations of the western Bloc countries saw only this apparent access to a higher level of consumption without realizing that this was true only for those segments of the Western population that had sufficient purchasing power but that in addition this level of consumption was based on the plunder of other nations. Blinded by this quantity of goods in the shops of the west, the populations of the countries of the east wanted to enter this "paradise of consumption" without trying to understand how it was made. Since the change in the system brought a better level of consumption only to a small layer of the population in the countries of the former Eastern Bloc, those who could migrated to the "Western dream".

The result, which was probably one of the objectives, was the competition of the labour of these eastern countries with that of the Western European countries, which contributed to pressure on wages. Workers in the west were faced with a new dilemma put forward by employers : "If you do not accept these conditions, a Romanian, a Polish or a Bulgarian awaits your place...."Today, workers in Western countries are revolting against this situation, which is one of the social forces behind Brexit and soon the exit of other countries from the European Union. The relatively short-term gains made by companies have created serious contradictions between the populations of Western and Eastern Europe. But, in addition, Europe has been the basis for a collapse of the standard of living of the majority of the populations of the Eastern countries for the benefit of a small class that has put itself at the service of the West, not to mention the creation or considerable expansion of corruption and mafias. A growing part of the populations of the Eastern countries is also beginning to revolt against Europe. The most catastrophic is the situation in the Baltic states, which have seen their population shrink considerably, all those who could emigrate have done so. This emigration to Western Europe allowed the growth or maintenance of a real estate bubble in this part of Europe. It is also from this perspective, to put pressure on wages and maintain the real estate bubble, that we must see the mass immigration to Europe from Turkey and North Africa. This immigration is organized at the highest level and carried out in practice by various mafia organizations.
       Today, however, it would not be surprising if among those who migrate to Europe from the countries of Asia or Africa are people who want to take revenge for the atrocities committed by Western armies or groups supported by the West. This ultimately risks contributing to chaos in Western societies. Unless the aim is to use possible actions by these immigrants as a pretext to reduce freedoms and establish a dictatorship in the West with the consent of the people...

At first, the European project seemed to me a good idea. However, when I discovered the plans to create a European bank independent of political power, I understood that the European Union had been created for the benefit of some major international financiers to the detriment of the people. It is becoming increasingly clear that the real aim was to take control of economic policy away from national governments and give it to a European central bank run by representatives of private interests. The goal was also to break national boundaries to neutralize the power of elected governments by transferring it to the leaders of large multinational groups. It is in a way a coup d'état of a financial oligarchy but with the agreement of the main political parties of both the right and the left.

Unfortunately, far from being aware of the evolution of European integration, the majority of the European population continues to have as its main objective "earn money" to access the highest possible level of consumption or at least maintain the level acquired when it is considered comfortable. It continues to believe that Europe and especially the Euro will enable it to achieve these objectives. For an isolated individual, earning money without producing anything still allows access to goods and services produced by others, on the other hand, if this is generalized, there is no more production. In this case, what is the value of money ? Such reasoning (making money, not producing) is the result of an analysis that isolates the element from its relationships and does not allow to see that what may be true for an isolated action is false when it is generalized. This system has no future, it is of an unnamed stupidity, not to mention that one of the economic consequences, even when this type of action is not the majority, is the destruction of the existing means of production whereas if we consider only the real economy without taking into account the various financial manipulations, the level of production in Europe is already much lower than the level of consumption. The foundation of the European economy on the totally artificial existence of an financial industry(??) and dependence on non-European suppliers suggest a serious economic crisis and consequently a sharp fall in people's living standards. One day or another, this continual fall in living standards will have to be explained to the people of the former Eastern Bloc countries...

Financial, social and media pressures, high inflation for the products most useful to the people, rising taxes and other levies, and declining incomes have contributed to the quality of human relations being further degraded by causing people to fight against each other in a fierce competition for money ... created at will by central banks. In addition, social manipulations contribute to breaking free expression. It is necessary to speak with respect for political correctness instead of discussing the real problems. There is no real awareness of the existence of others who have become competitors more than humans who have to face the same problems. The feeling took precedence over the search for the truth. Social appearance is more important than dialogue. Human life has no value other than market value. The law of the jungle has taken over.

This evolution is not the result of chance, it results both from the foundations of Judeo-Christian civilization and from the action of those who have true power. So, you will tell me, these finally managed to neutralize any attempt to challenge the system ? Definitely! But at the same time, they destroyed industry, turned the real economy into an empty shell, disintegrated the social fabric, diverted people from the real world to the artificial world created by the media they control. They have created a financial bubble from which they can no longer escape under pain of complete collapse of the Western financial system and therefore of the West. This, however, only postpones this collapse while continuing to further reduce the only basis of wealth that is the real economy. In fact, they have destroyed Europe in depth on all levels, far more than external enemies or internal opponents could ever have done, including in the former Eastern Bloc countries. They did not understand that by doing so they were destroying what was the true basis of their wealth. Perhaps it is necessary to talk about the total degeneration of a civilization with all the dangers that this entails ! Secret services, parallel organizations like "Gladio", financial manipulations, media, false "flags", etc ... have as justification for their implementation the pretext of protecting existing economic and social structures. In reality, this resulted in the total and irretrievable disintegration of society. Those who set up these various activities became parasites that eventually killed the host. Europe is today a world in perdition, we are living the end of a civilization. What is happening in Ukraine is an illustration of what is happening in Europe, the oligarchs have finally destroyed their country but also the bases of their wealth.

The chasm between the people and the governing bodies of Europe continues to grow. The policy of Europe has finally had the result of removing the mask of Western democracy to reveal the power of financial and bureaucratic feudalism. This will end with the break-up of the European Union, the end of the euro and chaos unless behind all this, as said before, the real objective has been to set up the conditions to use Europe as a maneuvering mass for the attack on Russia to destroy or weaken this country starting with the former Eastern Bloc countries and then Georgia, Ukraine... Unfortunately, if that were to be the case, Europe would end up like a field of radioactive ruins. Is this the future that the European people desire? Are the politicians who run European countries stupid, corrupt or so greedy that they are more concerned with their short-term personal gains rather than reacting to the collapse or annihilation that threatens their countries ? Already the fate of Greece or Ukraine should make them think or do they believe that this only happens to others ? Perhaps, because of their apparent extreme financial wealth based on figures in computers or on paper, they still have the illusion of their possible domination over the planet when Western production in volume and technology probably no longer reaches 10% of the production of the planet...
