The NWO - European update

Wayne Madsen: <blockquote>Quote:<hr>May 4, 2006 -- International neocon ploy to discredit anti-U.S. politicians in countries ranging from Europe to Latin America. The recent so-called "scandal" in France said to involve French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin (a notable anti-Iraq war diplomat when he served as Foreign Minister) is nothing more than a continuation of the neocon "Big Lie" practice. In this case, French and other international media neocons have claimed DeVillepin orchestrated a scandal involving French Interior Minister and presidential candidate Nicolas Sarkozy. Sarkozy is a strong supporter of Israel's theocratic kleptocracy and a darling of global neocon interests. The Sarkozy scandal was said to have involved bribes paid to him in numbered bank accounts in Luxembourg. The "Clearstream affair" -- said to involve bribery payments to Sarkozy in return for a deal to sell French frigates to Taiwan -- is claimed by Sarkozy to be a deliberate smear. DeVillepin ordered French intelligence to investigate Sarkozy. Interestingly, DeVillepin argued that as Foreign Minister, it was his job to investigate Sarkozy's possible involvement with "mafia money." Sarkozy's major political supporters are tied to the Russian-Israeli-Ukrainian mafia that has been capitalizing on the Iraq war, nuclear proliferation involving the A Q Khan network, diamond smuggling financing of "Al Qaeda," and drug smuggling. Meanwhile, neocon media are spinning the story that Mexico's leftist presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has slipped to second place in polls that have shown him as much as ten percentage points ahead of his two rivals. In Obrador's case, his two conservative rivals have the support of Carlos Slim, the world's third richest man and a Silvio Berlusconi-style media mogul who dominates Mexican business and politics. With the neocon media arrayed against him, it is no wonder Obrador is reported as "slipping" in polls to his closest conservative rival, Felipe Calderon, the Energy Minister under Vicente Fox and someone with close ties to the oil industry. With so much neocon domination of the global media, DeVillepin and Obrador cannot get fair coverage. WMR will strive to break through the neocon fog and report the facts.<hr></blockquote> Despite all the bad rap Madsen gets [no doubt merited, on occasion], there are days when his assessments are right on target. Yesterday's post, is a prime example. As for the Clearstream affair, it remains to be seen whether Sarkozy's associates do indeed include "Russian-Israeli-Ukrainian mafia" -- yet it would hardly come as a surprise; Sarkozy is about as vile and manipulated as they come! Meanwhile, forget the nationalist bouffon Le Pen. Neocon-ism is the new ordre du jour <a href="http://tinyurl.com/pkjkm">tinyurl.com/pkjkm</a> This is what ought to be setting off red alerts amongst the French and EU representatives. But who will inform the populace? Little chance that a picture of the "real deal" will come from the media. Salient passages from French Media Landscape <a href="http://www.ejc.nl/jr/emland/france.html">www.ejc.nl/jr/emland/france.html</a> <blockquote>Quote:<hr>There are three newspapers of reference [in France]: Libération, Le Monde, Le Figaro – put in this order to show their political tendency from left to right. [...] Major press groups In 1946 over 175 regional newspapers existed; in 2004 there where only 55 left - most of them belonging to the same few major groups.(3) The French editorial world is caracterised by the battle between these groups. The Dassault Group, known for its activities in the aviation and military industry, is controlled by the notorious Serge Dassault, who is also major of a small town near Paris and holds a seat in the French senate for the ruling UMP of president Chirac. Since 2004, Dassault owns 83 % of Socpresse, that publishes Le Figaro and many local titles. Dassault's major opponent is the Lagardère Group. This group has large steaks [sic] in regional newspapers and owns - apart from major French publishing houses, such as Hachette, Plon, Robert Laffond, Dalloz and Le Robert - the Filipacchi Médias Group, the largest magazine publisher in the world. The Lagardère Group is controlled by Arnaud Lagardère, who divides his time between the groups media activities and its high-tech defense-systems division. [...] With Libération accepting the offer of Baron Edouard de Rothschild to come to her rescue and selling him 37 % of her shares in January 2005, the era of financially independent newspapers in France came virtually to an end. <hr></blockquote> RIP, French press ... What the Chirac/deVillepin v. Sarkozy contention represents, in effect, is a battle between moderate, "old school" conservatism and neoconservatism, with its links to, and coordination with, Washington, London and Tel Aviv. What's particularly ominous is that, despite a usually healthy scepticism in French opinion, Sarkozy, with the media in neo lock-step, limitless financial backing and North American-style PR, just about has the upper hand, now. Sigolène Royal, the most likely opposition "Socialist" candidate in the 2007 presidential elections, hasn't got a hope in hell! Globalized politics, brought to us by supra-national financial power.

sijepuis, Thanks for that perspective. I've had a hard time figuring out Sarkozy. I've seen him described as some bad things like fascist and so on, but I've never seen any hard evidence. I'd like to know more. I know two things in Sarkozy's favour. He spilled the beans on the London bombings. Certainly very early on he revealled that at least one of the suspects was well known to the British security services. And also (I'm not 100 percent on this one) I believe it was Sarkozy who revealled it was military explosive. Second, Chirac hates him. In my opinion Chirac will be recorded by French historians as one of the greatest traitors in the history of France. He has been conspiring with the British from the beginning, against the interests of the people. I know Chirac has the image as anti the Iraq war, but I'm not sure that isn't a misunderstanding. Very early on he said that France couldn't get on board on the basis of WMD. But he made it clear that if it were done on the basis of regime change, France could get involved. Bush and Blair were able to get away with lies because of the weaknesses of their common law systems. Chirac must have known the French courts would have cut his balls off had he tried the same. My instinct tells me that Chirac/de Villepin are fronting for the old aristocracy and that Sarkozy is populist. But I'd love to learn more or be corrected.

Thanks for your contribution, antiaristo I'll try to get some solid information together for you about Sarkozy in the next few days, as soon as I can grab a moment. I was not aware of the first of your two points about Sarkozy. Curious, hmm. As for the second, Sarkozy's dislike of Chirac, I wouldn't go so far as to say that it speaks well for him. If hating Chirac improved one's image, man a lot of us would be looking good! Meanwhile it was Sarkozy who fanned the flames, shamelessly, during the recent, fiery demonstrations. And purely out of political self-interest, in an attempt to undermine de Villepin, for one, and in order to keep the race and immigration issue on the hottest burner [does that not sound familiar?]. I'm no fan of de Villepin, by any means, but de Villepin's approach was one of appeasement rather than oppression. He handled the business very well, I thought. But here again, Sarkozy had the media behind him. [sheesh, the blatantly anti-muslim rhetoric that was being hashed and rehashed!] This is what is the most alarming of all, in my view. The media are now in a position to make or break a politician in this country, and they're not losing a moment in making Sarkozy, who of course will fit in seamlessly with his ideological counterparts Bush, Blair&Co. The source of my concern, thus, is not so much Sarkozy-the-politician but that French political discourse has effectively been hijacked by the recent consolidation of the media in the hands of war- and war technology- based [not to mention banking] entities. This should have all of Europe plenty worried ... We should be worried, too, that the newly reoriented French press may be poised and ready to back this type of initiative [relink from above]: <blockquote>Quote:<hr> Bush's Neo-Conservative intimates attempt to create a transatlantic network American Neo-Conservatives - those intellectuals who inspired Team Bush's foreign policy - have decided to launch an ideological offensive in Europe, a continent irrelevant up to now in their strategic vision. According to our information, their idea laboratory, the PNAC (Project for a New American Century), is in the process of establishing a transatlantic network, called the "Committee for a Strong Europe." Its honorary presidents will be former Spanish Prime Minister José Maria Aznar and the American Senator John McCain. A declaration of principles has been drawn up and the hunt for signatories has begun. <hr></blockquote> Full article: <a href="http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/100305H.shtml">www.truthout.org/docs_2005/100305H.shtml</a> The "Committee for a Strong Europe" statement, here: <a href="http://libe-usa.blogs.com/CSE.htm">libe-usa.blogs.com/CSE.htm</a> Given such plans for Europe, it comes as little suprise that Sarkozy should be enjoying such positive international press coverage [there was a recent article in The Independent, I believe, that was enough to make one gag]. Ideological maverick that he is, I can only imagine that he's seen as the prime candidate to move the French center right [UMP, of which he is president] away from its historically "Gaullist" [cautious of American influence, if not anti-American] stance. And of course Sarkozy also happens to be an uncritical supporter of Israel ... None of this bodes well for the independence of French and European foreign policy, claim which I'll try to develop and substantiate asap.

sijepuis, I found the source. How does this fit in with Sarkozy as agent of the NWO? <blockquote>Quote:<hr>Row over French bomb arrest claim Home Secretary Charles Clarke has denied some of the London bomb suspects were arrested last year. French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said the UK delegation made the claim at an EU terrorism meeting. Mr Clarke said the comments were "completely and utterly untrue", and said there had been no conversation on the issue. Officials are adamant the men were not arrested and then released in order to break a wider network. Mr Sarkozy said: "It seems that part of this team had been subject to partial arrest." The French interior minister also said the explosives were thought to have come from the Balkans or eastern Europe. But Mr Clarke said he was baffled by his French counterpart's comments.<hr></blockquote> <a href="http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/mpapps/pagetools/print/news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4680155.stm">newsvote.bbc.co.uk/mpapps...680155.stm</a>
