Eurozone and the Spirit of Charlemagne 1 - Page 2 of 4

foundations have been wrecked by joining the eurozone. The result has been that Germany has imposed punitive conditions on these nations in return for bailout funds.

Take the example of Greece. “On the eve of the Brussels summit, Chancellor Angela Merkel laid out to the Europe Committee of the German Bundestag under which conditions Berlin would be in agreement to grant â€˜German support’ to Greece. Athens would have to sell public property and undertake extensive privatizations, if it is to be granted a lower interest rate for its EU credit” (German-Foreign-Policy.com, March 23).

The upshot of this approach is, “In the intermediate term, sales from the public sector, within the framework of the announced wave of privatizations, are supposed to prohibit a new budgetary emergency in Greece. It will not be the Greek nation, but, more than anyone else, the companiesâ€”probably also Germanâ€”that will be the main beneficiaries of this forced privatization. They will be able to purchase what had previously been Greek public property, that Greece now is forced to sell” (ibid.).

The progressive transfer of national assets from EU nations to Germany has been taking place largely unnoticed since German reunification. However, what has been an increasing trend since 1990 is set to become a literal landslide of takeovers by Germany of land, businesses, national infrastructure and institutions in the wake of the euro crisis.

As we have said before, had Dr. Walther Funk, Hitler’s old economics minister, been alive today, he would be laughing up his nationalist socialist sleeve at how German elites have achieved, via the instrument of the European Union treaties, what he set out to do 60 years earlier by more aggressive means. And it has all been achieved this time without a shot being fired in angerâ€”yet!

It must now be admitted that German imperialists who went underground in the latter years of World War ii to plan for the rise of the Fourth Reich, passing the baton to another generation through their penetration of all major German institutions post-World War ii, are very close to achieving their goal. Yet there is a major missing element.

In his comparison between Charlemagne’s Holy Roman Empire and today’s European Union, Bernard Connolly asks the burning question, “In the new empire of Charlemagne, who would play Charlemagne?”

Regardless of the personality who eventually takes that role, in the national sense the answer is now quite obvious!
