Russian television calls Chancellor Scholz a "traitor" https://www.anti-spiegel.ru/2023/das-russische-fernsehen-bezeichnet-kanzler-scholz-als-hochverraeter/?doing_wp_cron=1680226267.3700459003448486328125 The fact that Chancellor Scholz did not ask any uncomfortable questions about the blasting of the Nord Stream is observed with interest and disbelief around the world. Now Russian television has openly stated what many think, namely that Scholz is guilty of high treason. from March 27, 2023 7:00 am The federal government's silence on the Nord Stream blast, the fact that no one in the federal government took notice of the Hersh report on the blast, and that Scholz just days before the media reports about the alleged "pro-Ukrainian group" , who is said to have blown up the Nord Streams, made a mysterious visit to the White House, reminding the world that Germany is now just a mindless vassal of the US and that Scholz is openly acting in the interests of the US rather than the interests of Germany. In its weekly news review, Russian television has now openly stated what has been more or less loudly thought outside of the western world for some time. I translated the report from Russian TV. Start of translation: The entire euro-dollar banking system could blow up Information has emerged this week that suspects German Chancellor Olaf Scholz of committing nothing more and nothing less than high treason, betraying the national interests of his people and working for foreign intelligence services. The American journalist Seymour Hersh, who has recently become very well known in our country, who specifically accused Biden of blowing up Nord Stream, has published another article showing that the German Chancellor, Scholz, is trying to get information about the to hide sabotage in the Baltics. According to information Hersh received from his senior diplomatic sources, Scholz's visit to Biden in early March was dedicated to just that “The two heads of government spoke about the need to somehow explain what happened at the pipelines. As a result, some CIA officials were ordered to work with German intelligence to fabricate a 'legend' to serve the US and German press as an alternative version of the Nord Stream 2 sabotage to refute the version that it was Biden who ordered the pipelines to be destroyed," Hersh said. Given that the explosion of brand new transcontinental pipelines has clearly hurt Germany - it has lost cheap gas, it has also lost its investments, it is losing entire branches of industry and it is losing its future through energy price hikes by a multiple - Scholz would have himself have to take care of his country, but... who does he work for? "It should be noted here that Chancellor Scholz, whether or not he was warned of the impending sabotage of the gas pipelines - that remains unclear - appears to have been complicit in the Biden administration's attempts to delay its deployment in the Baltic Sea since last fall obfuscate,” says Hersh. And this is about the principle. We understand that occupied Germany is not sovereign, we understand that in this situation its chancellor is a vassal, not independent, he is even afraid to ask questions. But it is one thing to be a vassal and passive, and another to act directly against the interests of his nation, his state, with all the powers of the Chancellor. Is there a difference? Without a doubt. Helping the Americans cover up their crimes against Germany is pure high treason. Instructing German intelligence to cooperate in this dirty deal with the CIA is treason. It is clear to everyone that the German Chancellor has a conflict of interest. But Scholz resolves this conflict clearly in the US's favor by betraying Germany. Our correspondent reports from Germany Neither the German Chancellor nor his representatives reacted in any way to the allegations made in the second part of the Seymour Hersh research. In general, the West has been trying all week to divert public attention from what is important, for example to create an informative counterweight to the Russia-China summit in Moscow. To this end, Japanese Prime Minister Kishida was hastily dispatched to Kiev, and then the Prince of Wales took part in creating an alternative agenda: as a surprise, William landed for twenty minutes at the Polish military base in Rzeszow, a transit point for supplies of Western ammunition and weapons to Ukraine. The Polish and British soldiers stationed there want to be given more work in the EU. At the EU summit on Thursday it was decided that the European Peace Fund will continue to work for the war. "I fully support the agreement in the EU Council to supply one million missiles to Ukraine over the next 12 months. In order to achieve this, we must of course massively increase ammunition production in Europe," said EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Two billion euros will be made available for this: on the one hand, to buy back ammunition that is still in the arsenals of European countries and possibly to purchase ammunition from South Korea, and on the other hand, for the production of new ammunition in the country. That would require an expansion in capacity. Reputable manufacturers are not keen on doing that - they need guarantees of long-term demand and even the promised support from the EU budget has not really worked so far. Small firms, on the other hand, are eager to borrow money from Brussels, which is Prime Minister Morawiecki's dream. "If Polish companies, which unfortunately produce little artillery shells, could produce more, Be that as it may, Ukraine will one day receive a million 155 caliber shells from Europe, but it is a matter of time: if European sources are to be believed, but one should not always do so, the Ukrainian army uses up its ammunition faster as she fills them up. Kiev is also far from satisfied with the volume of aircraft deliveries: nothing has been added to the 23 MiG-29 fighter jets from Slovakia and Poland this week. But at the same time, the West is compensating for the small number of Ukraine's air forces by supplying air defense systems, long-range missiles and guided cruise missiles, all of which are pouring into Ukraine. A train with German Marder armored personnel carriers was sighted in Poland. Although in small numbers, but the process of handing over Leopard tanks to the Ukrainian Armed Forces is taking place. And tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers who stop only to eat and sleep are learning to work with Western equipment. Earlier this week, Czech President Pavel gave an interview to the Süddeutsche Zeitung in which he said his country had given Ukraine everything it had. Some have rashly taken his comments as a willingness to withdraw from the game. That was premature. “We must consider war fatigue and its role in supporting Western nations. She will weaken over time. Elections will be held in the United States next year. The interests of American voters will be focused on domestic politics and, at best, on foreign policy, the confrontation with China. It will be almost impossible for Europeans to maintain the current level of support for Ukraine on their own. As US support wanes, support from a number of European states will also wane; Ukraine must take this into account. Next year, Ukraine is unlikely to be able to conduct a large-scale and complex offensive operation," Pavel said. The words of the former general can only mean one thing: Ukraine must inflict such a sensitive defeat on the Russians in the spring and summer that Moscow will be forced to accept all of Kiev's terms. And of course Selensky is nervous - because of his exaggerated emotionality, his speech at the EU summit was not even publicly broadcast. As for Europe's fatigue, that is its role in this conflict - to stretch itself and overcome fatigue by helping the US solve the problem of removing Russia as a geopolitical powerhouse. Even if some hope for some kind of gift, even if Americans don't succeed. Of course, fatigue sometimes makes itself felt: at the conference of agricultural producers, Polish farmers berated the responsible minister because the grain silos and warehouses are full of Ukrainian grain and they have to pay too much money by renting warehouses somewhere else. But what do the farmers know about politics? Should they bear it? That's just the beginning. “Either Ukraine will stand up for its independence today, or we will have to join this conflict. Because our most important values, which were the basis of our civilization and our culture, are under threat. Therefore, we will have no choice but to enter the conflict,” Polish Ambassador to France Jan Emeric Rosciszewski is convinced. An attempt was made to soften the words of the Polish ambassador to France in Warsaw - according to the motto that he wanted to say that Poland must enter the conflict because Russia will not stop when Ukraine is defeated. But the ambassador said what he said - it is a veiled claim to Galicia and Volhynia in the event of the collapse of Ukrainian statehood. The 'dead is dead' principle was championed this week by Romanian MP Diana Șoșoacă. She submitted a bill to break the friendship treaty with Ukraine and return northern Bukovina, parts of the Odessa region and Snake Island to Romania. So far, of course, that sounds all too eccentric. The real threat to the stability of Europe in this conflict is currently emanating from nationally oriented political forces. They are not everywhere, but they are the ones formulating the demand for a peace without military victories and preconditions. When Prime Minister Meloni spoke out against it in the Italian parliament, a heated argument broke out: "Do you think we should reconsider Ukraine's borders? And how? Do you think we should return to Moscow the areas it occupied and where it held a referendum on self-determination, yes or no? That's what I want to hear from you if we're serious about peace, because anything else is nothing more than propaganda parasitizing a sovereign country with free people and international law. And that is irresponsible.” Ms. Meloni is a admirer of Mussolini. She probably inherited from the Duce the great emotional breadth of her public speeches, as well as the confidence that the hypnosis of her personality is so strong that she does not allow herself to be caught up in simpler language. But now it's difficult with hypnosis because there's social media. Here is a 2014 tweet from Ms. Meloni: “The right of the people to have a say in a referendum on the future of Crimea” But Meloni has many reasons to be angry, and they are not all related to foreign policy. She's only recently in office and her personal poll numbers are falling, the opposition is winning and her coalition partners Berlusconi and Salvini are more aligned with the peace demands. Francesca Meloni has a good chance of joining the big club of Italian prime ministers who didn't make it to the end of their term. Such are the times: few European politicians today can confidently assess their own prospects. There is great turmoil everywhere. “No one knows what could happen. But you try to be as prepared as possible,” said Belgian Prime Minister Alexander de Croo. Bitter medicine – this is how the rescue of the second largest Swiss bank Credit Suisse through a merger with the financial giant UBS looked like this week. Risky deals amid the energy crisis and political arbitrariness over Russian assets have resulted in Arab shareholders refusing to support the ailing Credit Suisse and monopolizing the financial sector as the only possible, but not necessarily the most effective, measure. It's a bit like putting everything on one card - customers can then decide whether it's safer to keep their money in a Swiss cheese or in a cuckoo clock. The Americans' plans to also scour UBS for Russian funds Putin's prophecy that "somebody's going to have to swallow the dust" continues to hold true, but Europeans, of course, are more concerned about something else. This week it became clear that the poison that was initially thrown into the financial system with the bankruptcy of America's Silicon Valley continues to spread. “Anyone who thought the earthquake in the banking sector had lost momentum was wrong. All European bank stocks fell sharply on Friday, but Deutsche Bank shares fell the most. There was no event that would have explained this decline,” reported German media. All of Europe's major banks -- Societe Generale, HSBC, Germany's Commerzbank -- fell into the red on Friday, but Deutsche Bank lost the most -- 14 percent. Its shares have lost more than a quarter of their value since the beginning of the year. The German Chancellor had to personally reassure customers before leaving Brussels, although conspiracy treatment rarely works when money is at stake. “Deutsche Bank has carefully reorganized and modernized its business model and is a very profitable bank. There is no need to worry," said Scholz. Yes, there are reasons: The lack of a concrete trigger for investor flight is a symptom of a systemic problem. The break with Russia is reason number one – it has led to an uncontrollable surge in inflation, coupled with a social explosion that is already exploding here and there. Inflation is seen as a worse evil than lack of economic growth, and monetary authorities are restricting bank lending to the economy in hopes of catching the final critical moment, beyond which the financial system spirals into uncontrollable collapse. The peculiarity of the moment is that the entire euro-dollar banking system could blow up not only for objective financial reasons, but because the market has been taught to fear what Western politicians are doing. And at best, that's a long-term instability factor. The worst case scenario is clear. end of translation |
