Zain Raza: Before we come to an end, there‘s a couple of questions, but we better move now on to some foreign policy in terms of Germany. Germany has strong economic interest in the Middle East. To name a few examples: it is selling tanks to Saudi Arabia and it‘s providing submarines toIsrael. What implications do these relationships have on democracy and security of the population there?
Noam Chomsky: I think they harm the security of the population. Take the submarines. These dolphin class submarines that Germany is providing to Israel are instantly refitted in Israel to have nuclear weapons capacity, and that‘s not aimed at defense of Israel. Nuclear armed submarines don‘t defend Israel. They are meant for attack, that‘s what they are. And we know what attack they‘re aimed for in the short run: an attack on Iran in the gulf. That‘s a terrible threat, not only to the Iranians, but to the world. And Israel, after all, has a doctrine, an official doctrine. They say, they‘re free to attack Iran if they choose to.

Was die EU getan hat, ist im Grunde eine Form von „Selbstmord durch Wirklichkeitsverleugnung“. Was als nächstes kommt, wird ein Regimewechsel sein müssen, nicht in einem Land, sondern auf dem ganzen Kontinent. Ich glaube, ein solcher Regimewechsel ist unvermeidlich, aber die große Frage lautet, wie lang diese langsame und schmerzhafte Agonie der EU andauern wird. Obwohl das viele Jahre brauchen könnte, glaube ich. Die Führer der EU werden sich nicht elegant entschuldigen und zurücktreten, es gibt eine ganze Klasse von Parasiten, die jetzt von den EU-Strukturen leben, die sich verzweifelt gegen jede bedeutungsvolle Reform zur Wehr setzen werden, von Regimewechsel ganz zu schweigen, und die immer die engen Interessen ihrer Kompradorenklasse über die ihrer Völker oder selbst den gesunden Menschenverstand stellen werden.
American diplomacy makes it a point to envelop arms deals with rhetoric couched in the idiom of ‘shared values’ – even when the US wraps up highly lucrative multi-billion dollar deals with countries such as Saudi Arabia. Thus, it comes as no surprise that in an address at the Council of Foreign Relations in New York on Friday, entitled ‘America’s Growing Security Network in the Asia-Pacific’, Carter endeavoured to habitate the upcoming “exciting new projects” with India within an proposed regional security architecture under US leadership.

(6.April) Garda‘s most successful foray abroad is in Libya where it appointed former Canadian Lieutenant-Colonel Andrew Zdunich head of its operations. Sometime in the „summer of 2011,“ according to its website, Garda began operating in the country.

Zur Jahreswende 2009 / 2010, zeitgleich zur Implementierung der „Europäischen Union“ als Rechtskörper durch den Lissabon-Vertrag, begann eine ineinander greifende Kette von tatsächlichen oder fiktiven Spannungsfällen, Affären, Katastrophen, Krisen, Epidemien, etc. (DER TERRORKRIEG: Seine Dynamik des Schreckens) Gleichzeitig wurde innerhalb der „westlichen“ Hegemonie seitens der industriellen Massenpresse damit begonnen, über den Köpfen der Menschen kontinuierlich Desinformation auszuschütten.
