A secret history of EU
After World War II, the Ger man geopoliti cians (act ing at the direc tion of the lead ers of the Under ground Reich under Mar tin Bor mann) pur sued a sim i lar tack. Threat en ing neu tral ity, or even an alliance with the Sovi ets, the Ger mans were able to manip u late the U.S. into woo ing Ger many as an ally– –grant ing it renewed eco nomic and mil i tary power and re-installing Nazis in posi tions of great influ ence. Kevin Coogan’s remark able text Dreamer of the Day: Fran cis Parker and the Post war Fas cist Inter na tional con tains an excel lent con tem po rary account of this phe nom e non. Lis ten ers are emphat i cally encour aged to read the Coogan text as a sup ple ment to the Tetens book (which was pub lished in 1953.)
In 1950, the Madrid Geo-political Cen ter (a Nazi think tank oper at ing in exile under the friendly aus pices of fas cist dic ta tor Franco) dis cussed the suc cess ful real iza tion of the Reich’s plan to go under ground. (These plans were described by Curt Reiss in The Nazis Go Under ground. The Nazi groom ing and instal la tion of Franco, whose coun try was an impor tant base for the post war Reich activ i ties, is dis cussed in Falange by Alan Chase.) The fol low ing pas sage appears on page 73 of the Tetens text: “Accord ing to the Madrid Cir cu lar Let ter, referred to above, the Ger man plan ners have never ceased their polit i cal war fare against the Allies. They admit that they had ‘blue printed the bold plan and cre ated a flex i ble and smoothly work ing orga ni za tion,’ in order to safe guard Ger many from defeat and to bring Allied post-war plan ning to nought. They boast that they were able to cre ate total con fu sion in Wash ing ton, and that they saved Ger man heavy indus try from destruc tion: ‘By no means did the polit i cal and mil i tary lead er ship of the Third Reich skid into the cat a stro phe in an irra tional man ner as so many block heads and igno ra muses often tell us. The var i ous phases and con se quences of the so-called ‘col lapse’ . . . were thor oughly stud ied and planned by the most capa ble experts . . . Noth ing occurred by chance; every thing was care fully planned. The result of this plan ning was that, already a few months after Pots dam, the coali tion of the vic tors went on the rocks.’. . .”
The Madrid Cir cu lar Let ter goes on to set forth the course to be pur sued by Ger many, more star tlingly rel e vant from the vantage point of early 2006 than in it was in 1950. The fol low ing is from page 52 of Tetens’ book:
“ ‘In view of the present polit i cal sit u a tion . . . the pol icy of ori en ta tion towards the West has lost all mean ing or sense. . . . We must not for get that Ger many has always con sid ered ori en ta tion towards the West as a pol icy of expe di ence, or one to be pur sued only under pres sure of cir cum stances. Such was the case in Napoleon’s time, after 1918, and also after 1945. All of our great national lead ers have con stantly coun seled the long-range pol icy of close coop er a tion with the East . . . .’” Fear of this dynamic drove the U.S. to accede to all of Germany’s demands for renewed power. “Anti-Communism Uber Alles!”
A stun ning mea sure of the suc cess of the Under ground Reich and Ger man Ost poli tik can be obtained by read ing Dorothy Thompson’s analy sis of Germany’s plans for world dom i nance by a cen tral ized Euro pean eco nomic union. (In this, we can see the plans of pan-German the o reti cian Friedrich List, as real ized by the Euro pean Mon e tary Union.) Ms. Thomp son was writ ing in The New York Her ald Tri bune on May 31, 1940! Her com ments are repro duced by Tetens on page 92.
“The Germans have a clear plan of what they intend to do in case of vic tory. I believe that I know the essen tial details of that plan. I have heard it from a suf fi cient num ber of impor tant Ger mans to credit its authen tic ity . . . Germany’s plan is to make a cus toms union of Europe, with com plete finan cial and eco nomic con trol cen tered in Berlin. This will cre ate at once the largest free trade area and the largest planned econ omy in the world. In West ern Europe alone . . . there will be an eco nomic unity of 400 mil lion per sons . . . To these will be added the resources of the British, French, Dutch and Bel gian empires. These will be pooled in the name of Europa Germanica . . .”
“The Ger mans count upon polit i cal power fol low ing eco nomic power, and not vice versa. Ter ri to r ial changes do not con cern them, because there will be no ‘France’ or ‘Eng land,’ except as lan guage groups. Lit tle imme di ate con cern is felt regard ing polit i cal orga ni za tions . . . . No nation will have the con trol of its own finan cial or eco nomic sys tem or of its cus toms. The Naz i fi ca tion of all coun tries will be accom plished by eco nomic pres sure. In all coun tries, con tacts have been estab lished long ago with sym pa thetic busi ness men and indus tri al ists . . . . As far as the United States is con cerned, the plan ners of the World Ger man ica laugh off the idea of any armed inva sion. They say that it will be com pletely unnec es sary to take mil i tary action against the United States to force it to play ball with this sys tem. . . . Here, as in every other coun try, they have estab lished rela tions with numer ous indus tries and com mer cial orga ni za tions, to whom they will offer advan tages in co-operation with Germany. . . .”

Θεόδωρος Πάγκαλος, ο πολύτιμος συνεργάτης της Βέρμαχτ (1941-1944)
Θεόδωρος Πάγκαλος, ο πολύτιμος συνεργάτης της Βέρμαχτ (1941-1944)
Γιατί να το κρύψωμεν άλλωστε, ο Πάγκαλος συνεχάρη και στήριξε τον συνθηκολόγο Τσολάκογλου. Τον Νοέμβριο του 1941, όταν στην Αθήνα άρχισε ο κόσμος να πεθαίνει σαν τα κοτόπουλα από την πείνα, ο Πάγκαλος αναγνωρίστηκε ως πολύτιμος παράγων τον οποίο είχε ξεχάσει στο παρελθόν να τιμήσει ανάλογα η Ελλάδα. Έτσι, η κυβέρνηση των Γερμανόδουλων, έδωσε στον Πάγκαλο μία παχυλή σύνταξη Προέδρου της Δημοκρατίας. Ευχαριστημένος για την αναγνώριση την οποία απολάμβανε από τις δωσιλογικές κυβερνήσεις, αρθρογραφούσε στον τύπο υπέρ των Γερμανών. Θέλοντας να ανταποδώσει το καλό που οι Γερμανοί του έκαναν, δεν έμεινε μόνο στα άρθρα. Κατέβασε την ιδέα να συγκροτηθεί Ελληνικό στρατιωτικό σώμα, το οποίο θα πολεμούσε στο πλευρό της Βέρμαχτ. Έτσι, με την ιδέα Πάγκαλου, έγιναν τα περιβόητα Τάγματα Ασφαλείας που μάζεψαν τους αναπήρους του Ελληνοιταλικού πολέμου από τα νοσοκομεία της Αθήνας, τους βασάνισαν και τους εκτέλεσαν, διότι λέει δεν ήταν με το μέρος των Γερμανών οι ανάπηροι και μιλούσαν για απελευθέρωση. Όταν έφυγαν οι Γερμανοί, ο Πάγκαλος συνελήφθη, αλλά έμεινε στη φυλακή μόνο για περίπου 40 μέρες. Μετά τον έβγαλε ο Παπανδρέου. Το 1945 αθωώθηκε από όλες της κατηγορίες με απαλακτικό βούλευμα. Αυτά για όσους νομίζουν ότι δεν υπάρχει δικαιοσύνη στην Ελλάδα.

Ο σύγχρονος κόσμος μέσα από τα μάτια των παιδιών
Η κοινωνία που παρουσιάζουμε σταπαιδιά μας λένε πολλά για το χαρακτήρα μας, χωρίς να μας ακούσουν να μιλάμε.
Οι αυτόχθονες της Αμερικής λέγανε ότι η γη είναι δάνειο από τα παιδιά μας, όχι κληρονομιά από τους προγόνους μας.
Στα λίγα λογια, μεγάλη σοφία εμπεριέχεται, στα πολλά λόγια και συνομιλίες κρύβουν την αδιαθεσία των ενηλίκων για επαναφορά στη λογική χρήση της Γης.
Και αφού τη καταστρέψουν, αρχίζουν να μιλάνε για το τέλος του κόσμου και ένα σορό ηλίθιες "προφητείες", θεωρώντας τη καταστροφή θέλημα του "θεού" (βλέπε λέξη θεός = εγωισμός).
Ο μεγάλος εχθρός του ανθρώπου είναι ό Άκριτος Νους, όπως εκείνος ο πατέρας της Δανάης (διάνοιας), που με τη φώτηση του Επιστήμονα και Ερευνητή Δία γέννησε τον Περσέα (πυρ ευ = καλό φως του Νοός), που εξαφάνισε τον Άκριτο Νου από τη βασιλεία του ανθρώπου και τον έκανε σκεπτόμενο Ον.

Λόρι Σάντος: Μια μαϊμουδίσια οικονομία, παράλογη όσο και η δική μας
Λόρι Σάντος: Μια μαϊμουδίσια οικονομία, παράλογη όσο και η δική μας.
About this talk
Η Λόρι Σάντος ψάχνει για της ρίζες του ανθρώπινου παραλογισμού, ερευνώντας τον τρόπο που οι συγγενείς μας τα πρωτεύοντα παίρνουν αποφάσεις. Μια σειρά έξυπνων πειραμάτων πάνω στα "πιθοικονομικά" δείχνει ότι κάποιες από τις ανόητες επιλογές που κάνουμε εμείς, τις κάνουν και οι μαϊμούδες.
About Laurie Santos
Laurie Santos studies primate psychology and monkeynomics -- testing problems in human psychology on primates, who (not so surprisingly) have many of the same predictable irrationalities we do.Why you should listen to her:
In elegant, carefully constructed experiments, Santos and CapLab have studied how primates understand and categorize objects in the physical world -- for instance, that monkeys understand an object is still whole even when part of it is obscured. Going deeper, their experiments also search for clues that primates possess a theory of mind -- an ability to think about what other people think.
Most recently, the lab has been looking at behaviors that were once the province mainly of novelists: jealousy, frustration, judgment of others' intentions, poor economic choices. In one experiment, Santos and her team taught monkeys to use a form of money, tradeable for food. When certain foods became cheaper, monkeys would, like humans, overbuy. As we humans search for clues to our own irrational behaviors, Santos' research suggests that the source of our genius for bad decisions might be our monkey brains.
"Through a series of groundbreaking experiments, Santos has seen in her primates a humanlike propensity for hoarding, larceny, and competitiveness. By exploring the inner lives of primates, she has offered persuasive evidence that monkeys are capable of sophisticated insight, complex reasoning, and calculated action."Linda Marsa, Discover
