Europe – Are the EU and Euro on the Verge of Collapse? By Peter Koenig Global Research, April 07, 2016

he EU: An American Colony
Today it is fair to say that Europe’s monetary and economic policy is made by Wall Street and the FED. The intermediary to do so is the ECB (sic) led by former Goldman Sachs exec, Mario Draghi. Europe is geared to be used to ‘rescue’ the US economy, whenever needed, i.e. through the Washington 2008 / 2009 instigated and ongoing financial crisis. Indeed, there is no hope and no interest of the powers that be to stop ‘their’ highly profitable crisis – which carries on at the detriment of the people, the common people of Europe.
Europe is already largely, and increasingly more so, becoming a colony of the US of A. The infamous TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership), secretly negotiated behind closed doors, would be (god forbid!) just the final nail in Europe’s coffin. Europe’s once excellent social infrastructure is successively being raped, privatized and its assets being stolen by the western Anglo-Zionist led financial oligarchy.
The strangulation of Greece is a case in point for a successful experiment on how to rob Europe of its social and physical assets, putting the population into extreme poverty, too weak to even protest. A left-wing government in the most strategically located NATO country was an absolute no-go. No doubt, Tsipras himself, his family and his government were criminally blackmailed into submission. Examples around the world abound (John Perkins: Confessions of an Economic Hit Man). Not obeying may lead to death.
Just read up on Mohammad Mosaddegh, Iran, assassinated by the CIA in 1953; Patrice Lumumba, Congo (Kinshasa), murdered by the CIA in 1961; Salvador Allende, Chile, murdered by the CIA, in 1973; Saddam Hussein, Iraq, assassinated by the Bush / Blair murderers, in 2006; Muammar Gaddafi, Libya, by NATO thugs in 2011, under orders of Hillary Clinton, then US Secretary of State, today leading Democratic US Presidential contender – and the list goes on.
In many of these cases the CIA’s / Mossad’s dirty and blood-stained hands played a role. Today, intimidation, torture and fear mongering are the standard tools of the white collar criminal neoliberal oligarchs, with the help of the US armed forces, NATO, as well as the secret services and police throughout the US and Europe. Unaligned leaders who don’t follow the Master’s orders are at high risk of simply being eliminated and replaced by puppets.
Greece and the Greek People
Greece and Greek people – be aware – the euro is and will continue ever more enslaving you.  This is the case for all of Europe. Today Greece is burning and crumbling because of the euro. Who will be next?
A common fiat currency – the euro – in an artificial union that has no political cohesion, no common political objective, is NOT sustainable. The European Union itself without solidarity between the states, without a Constitution and without geopolitical cohesion and objectives, is NOT sustainable. The EU and its currency are bound to fail. The sooner the better – for a restructuring and rebuilding of individual economies, for a sovereign and independent rethinking of a European concept – for a new beginning, and certainly without interference from Washington. A Grexit could be a signal, a lead event for such a new Europe.
