Des Kapitalismus neue Kleider: E.U.-Staaten schütten in vier Jahren 5 Billionen Euro in den „Finanzsektor“
(21.12.2012)
Immerhin die österreichischen Zeitungen „Standard“ und „Die Presse“ berichteten über den heute von der „Europäischen Kommission“ veröffentlichten „Bericht über staatliche Beihilfen der EU-Mitgliedstaaten“. Doch den ganzen Wahnsinn, den dieser dokumentierte, wagten auch sie nicht in die Überschrift zu packen.
Im Bericht der E.U.-Kommission heißt es:
„In der Zeit vom 1. Oktober 2008 bis zum 1. Oktober 2012 genehmigte die Kommission Beihilfen in Höhe von 5058,9 Mrd. EUR (40,3 % des EU-BIP) für den Finanzsektor.“
Nochmal in Zeitlupe: Die Staaten des Staatenbundes „Europäische Union“ haben in vier Jahren 5,0589 (bitte auf die Zahlen hinter dem Komma achten) Billionen Euro als „Hilfe“ in nach dem Profitprinzip geschaffene und handelnde Organe des (Euro-)Kapitalismus geschüttet.
820 Milliarden Euro: EZB-Gelddruckerei überschüttet die Wucherer, die schütten zurück
(5. März 2012)
Die „Übernacht-Einlagen“, die „Angstkasse“, oder besser: das Gelddepot des weltweiten Finanzkartells bei ihrer persönlichen Gelddruckerei, der Frankfurter Zentralbank des Euro-Systems, ist innerhalb von drei Tagen um weitere 43 Milliarden Euro auf über 820 Milliarden Euro explodiert. Die kapitalistische Informationsindustrie, ebenso wie die in zwei Jahrzehnten des Krieges und der weltweiten Expansion des unkontrollierten Interbankensystems („Globalisierung“) versauten „öffentlich-rechtlichen“ Medien erzählen dazu nur Dreck daher oder schweigen völlig.
Die Banken „misstrauen“ sich nicht. Die Banken weigern sich schlicht Geld in den Wirtschaftskreislauf auszugeben und stapeln ihre erfundenen Taler einfach wieder auf den Berg in der Zentralbank, während hier alle in der Währungszone nach Liquidität jabsen und am Besten gleich den ganzen Staat verkaufen sollen.
Dieser ganze finanzextremistische Wahnsinn, für den die europäischen Demokratien, Staaten und Völker nach dem Willen der Kapitalisten bluten sollen und es teilweise bereits tun, wird nun in gewohnt maximalem Zynismus durch genau die Profiteure dieses „pro-europäischen“ Finanz- und Währungssystems benutzt, um durch irrationale Zerstörungswut an den Volkswirtschaften des Kontinents auch noch irrationale Ängste vor etwas zu schüren, vor dem man sich zu allerletzt Sorgen machen kann: das irgendetwas von diesem Geld jemals in den Wirtschaftskreislauf gelangen könnte und dann zuviel davon.

Energy price inflation: how the UK and EU could fight it
Is there international action that can be taken now?
It appears increasingly likely that some forms of coordinated international action will be taken, mirroring responses to the global financial crisis, the eurozone debt crisis and the Covid pandemic.
The former Italian prime minister Mario Draghi floated the idea of “a cartel of buyers” at a meeting with the US president, Joe Biden, in May. This would involve large oil consumers working together to negotiate prices.
Von der Gaskrise zur Regierungskrise
Aktuell negative Effekte werden vermutlich erst im kommenden Monat ihre Wirkung entfalten, prognostiziert Jörg Krämer, der Chefvolkswirt der Commerzbank: „Allein deshalb sollte die Inflation dann im September einen Sprung um ungefähr einen Prozentpunkt nach oben machen.“ Deutschland läge dann bei einer Teuerungsrate „vermutlich deutlich über 8,5 Prozent“.
Wladimir Putin kann sich diese Entwicklung in Moskau in Ruhe ansehen und den Gashahn drosseln. Nach Ungarn ist ja nun schon Bulgarien aus der Phalanx der Russland-Sanktionierer ausgeschert. Es wird nicht der letzte EU-Staat sein, wie man aus Brüssel hört.
EU kündigt Sanktionen gegen Russland an
Die Strafmaßnahmen sollen diejenigen treffen, die an der Handlung beteiligt seien, erklärten Kommissionspräsidentin Ursula von der Leyen und Ratspräsident Charles Michel heute Abend.
Putin paves way to invade as he signs decree officially recognising independence of two rebel-held territories in eastern Ukraine to let him send in troops to ‚defend them‘ – while Boris condemns move as ‚very ill omen and a very dark sign‘
– Vladimir Putin will recognise Ukraine‘s eastern regions as independent and sign a degree to that effect shortly
– Move would pave the way for Russian troops to roll in, on basis of ‚defending‘ them against Ukrainian ‚threats‘
– Mr Johnson said Putin‘s decision to recognise the two separatist Ukrainian republics was an ‚ill omen‘ and a ‚dark sign‘ that things are moving in the wrong direction
– Putin spoke after an hours-long meeting of Russia‘s security council, with aides laying out the case for war
– Having spent days staging what are widely thought to be false flag attacks and blaming them on Kiev, Kremlin officials presented them as ‚evidence‘ that ethnic Russians are at risk of ‚genocide‘ and must be protected
– All eyes will now turn to Ukraine‘s border regions, where Russian tanks have been spotted in ‚battle formation‘
Ukraine seeks urgent UN Security Council meeting over Russia threat
“On President (Volodymyr) Zelensky’s initiative I officially requested UNSC member states to immediately hold consultations under article 6 of the Budapest memorandum,” Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba tweeted, citing the landmark 1994 deal, also signed by Russia, the United States and Britain.
Kremlin says Moscow will see two Ukrainian regions as independent, a potential pretext for war

Die “Neurussland”-Falle
(28. June 2014)
So wie ich das sehe, spult sich hier folgendes Drehbuch ab:
– Contras und Doppelagenten auf beiden Seiten, sowohl den divergierenden Milizen des Putsch-Regimes, als auch bei den Separatisten und Aufständischen (von denen 99 % überhaupt keine Ahnung haben wozu sie benutzt werden und was da eigentlich vor sich geht), sorgen mit immer neuen Angriffen dafür, dass Verhandlungen und Waffenruhen immer wieder scheitern,
– die mittlerweile aus dem Westen aufgerüstete ukrainische Armee greift schließlich mit allem was sie hat den Osten an und richtet ein Blutbad an,
– Russland „kann gar nicht anders“ und marschiert ein.
Da fällt mir ein: Was macht der Bundesnachrichtendienst so? Hallo Chausseestraße. Geht´s euch gut?
Ukraine and Donbass accuse each other of heavy shelling
Kiev has been locked in a civil war with the two breakaway territories since 2014, when separatists declared independent republics following the ousting of then-President Viktor Yanukovych during mass street protests. Ukrainian officials, along with Western countries, have accused Russia of supporting the rebels and fueling the conflict.
Aufregung über Gefechte in Ostukraine
Die ukrainische Armee dementierte einen Beschuss von Stellungen prorussischer Separatisten. Obwohl man mit Artillerie beschossen worden sei, sei das Feuer nicht erwidert worden, sagte ein Sprecher der Regierungstruppen zu Reuters. Die von Russland unterstützten Rebellen warfen ukrainischen Truppen dagegen vor, ihr Territorium angegriffen zu haben.
Russia announces troop withdrawal
Russian troops have completed their training drills in Belarus, close to neighboring Ukraine, and will begin returning to their places of regular deployment, the Ministry of Defense in Moscow has announced amid fears in the West that the exercises could have been a precursor to an invasion.
Biden warns Americans in Ukraine to leave, says sending troops to evacuate would be ‚world war‘
“It’s not like we’re dealing with a terrorist organization. We’re dealing with one of the largest armies in the world. It’s a very different situation, and things could go crazy quickly,” he said.
Holt asked Biden what scenario could prompt him to send troops to rescue Americans fleeing the country. Biden replied: “There’s not. That‘s a world war when Americans and Russia start shooting at one another.”
Biden Warns U.S. Won’t Send Troops to Rescue Americans in Ukraine
“American citizens should leave, should leave now,” the president said in an NBC interview, adding that rescues in a conflict zone during a Russian invasion would risk “world war.”
News conference following Russian-French talks
For our part, we will do our best to find compromises that suit everyone. There is not a single point that we consider unachievable in the proposals we sent to NATO and Washington.
There is also the ongoing issue related to the situation in Donbass. The President said that Russia is conducting exercises and has amassed a large group of forces. But has Ukraine not amassed them also? They have the same 100,000 or 125,000 troops concentrated in Donbass.
To reiterate, they have tried to resolve the Donbass issue through military means twice, and they did not conceal this as they used equipment and aviation. Who will give us guarantees that this will not happen? This is also a legitimate question on our part.
Putin says ready for compromise with West after talks with Macron on Ukraine
Repeatedly thanking the French leader for coming to Moscow, Putin said at a joint press conference that Macron had presented several ideas worth studying.
„A number of his ideas, proposals… are possible as a basis for further steps,“ Putin said, adding: „We will do everything to find compromises that suit everyone.“
Macron: No security for Europeans if there is no security for Russia
While President Joe Biden was unsuccessfully trying to strongarm German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at the White House Monday into saying he would give up Russian gas if that country invades Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron was in Moscow actually making what appears to be some potential headway in defusing the crisis over Ukraine.
Emmanuel Macron’s remarks on Russia set alarm bells ringing
Domestic critics of Emmanuel Macron, Nato hardliners and the leadership in Ukraine will be suspiciously examining the French president’s late-night remarks at his Moscow press conference on Monday for signs of freelancing.
Pentagon says documents published by EL PAÍS show US is willing to negotiate with Russia
Kirby mentioned the documents in his opening remarks ahead of a news conference at the Department of Defense. “We did not make this document public, but now that it is, it confirms to the entire world what we’ve always been saying: there is no daylight between our public statements and our private discussions,” he said.
US offered disarmament measures to Russia in exchange for deescalation of military threat in Ukraine
(02 Feb 2022)
The United States and NATO reject signing a bilateral agreement on security in Europe with Russia and also closing the door on the future incorporation of Ukraine into the Atlantic Alliance. Those were two of the main demands presented by Moscow to put an end to the crisis in Ukraine at a moment of maximum tension between Russia and the West and that threatened Euro-Atlantic security. By contrast, both Washington and the Alliance offer Putin negotiations on disarmament agreements and trust-building measures in different forums – such as the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), the US-Russia Strategic Stability Dialogue, and the NATO-Russia Council – the success of which are conditioned on the start of a deescalation of the Russian military threat to Ukraine.
U.S. intel suggests Russia is plotting false flag attack in Ukraine as pretext for invasion
(Feb 3, 2022)
The plan for the fake attack on Russian territory or Russian-speaking people was revealed in declassified intelligence shared with Ukrainian officials and European allies in recent days. It is the latest allegation by the U.S. and Britain that Russia is plotting to use a false pretext to go to war against Ukraine.
The White House in December accused Russia of developing a “false-flag” operation to create pretext for an invasion.
