# Europe: National Sovereignty Vs. International Conquest, At Stake Over Iran

Authored by Eric Zuesse via The Strategic Culture Foundation,

Europe now faces its ultimate ideological fork-in-the-road, which it has thus far ignored but can no longer ignore:

> They need to decide whether they seek a world of nations that each is sovereign over its own territory but over no other (and this would not be a world at war);

> or whether they seek instead a world in which they are part of the American empire, a world based on conquests - NATO, IMF, World Bank, and the other US-controlled international institutions - and in which their own nation’s citizens are subject to the dictatorship by America’s aristocracy: the same super-rich individuals who effectively control the US Government itself (see this and this — and that’s dictatorship by the richest, in the United States).

Iran has become this fateful fork-in-the-road, and the immediate issue here is America’s cancellation of the Iran nuclear deal that America had signed along with 6 other countries, and America’s consequent restoration of economic sanctions against Iran — sanctions against companies anywhere that continue trading with Iran.

First, however, some essential historical background on that entire issue:

> The US aristocracy overthrew Iran’s democratically elected Government in 1953 and imposed there a barbaric dictatorship which did the bidding of the US and allied aristocracies, by installing the Pahlavi Shah there, just as they had earlier, in 1932, installed the Saud King in Saudi Arabia — which land never ever had known democracy. As Wikipedia says of Ibn Saud, who became King in 1932, “After World War I, he received further support from the British, including a glut of surplus munitions. He launched his campaign against the Al Rashidi in 1920; by 1922 they had been all but destroyed,” with Britain’s help.

> Similarly, the US and its British Imperial partner installed Pahlavi as Iran’s Shah in 1953. This was done by US President Dwight David Eisenhower. After the death of the anti-imperialistic US President FDR, in 1945, the US Government quickly became pro-imperialistic under President Harry S. Truman (whom imperial England’s Winston Churchill wrapped around his little finger), and then even more so under Eisenhower, so that during the brief presidency of Ike’s successor President JFK, the anti-imperialistic ghost of FDR was coming to haunt the White House and thus again threaten the conjoined US-UK’s aristocracies’ surging global control. Kennedy was quickly souring on, and coming to oppose, imperialism (just as FDR had done) - he was opposing conquest and dominion for its own sake.

> So, he was assassinated and the evidence was covered-up, so that the CIA, which Truman had installed and which Eisenhower placed firmly under the control of America’s aristocratically controlled military-industrial complex, became increasingly America’s own Deep State, designed for global conquest (though using an ‘anti-communist’ excuse and cover for their real and ruling motive of global conquest and dominion).

> When the US-imposed Shah was overthrown by an authentic revolution in 1979, America’s continued alliance with the UK-US-installed Saud family turned into a US-UK alliance against Iran, which nation has ever since been demonized by the US and UK aristocracies as being a ‘terrorist regime’, even though Saudi Arabia actually dominates global Islamic terrorism, and Iran is opposed to terrorism (except to terrorism that’s aimed against Israel). And everybody who knows anything on sound basis is aware of these established historical facts. But, actually, the US-Saudi alliance is even worse than that: global Islamic terrorism was invented and organized by the US aristocracy in conjunction with the Saud family starting in 1979 when Iran freed itself from the US-UK dictatorship and restored Iranian sovereignty (even though in a highly compromised Shiite theocratic way, nothing at all like the secular Iranian democracy that had been overthrown by the US and UK aristocracies in 1953).

> The US and Sauds created Islamic terrorism in 1979 in order to draw the Soviet Union into Afghanistan and ultimately used these terrorist proxy "boots on the ground" so as to force the Soviets out of Afghanistan — thereby draining the Soviet economy in the hope of ultimately conquering the USSR and then conquering Russia itself, which the US President GHW Bush on the night of 24 February 1990 made clear that the US and its allies must do — he gave the European vassal-nations their marching-order on that date, and they have reliably followed that order, until now.

Russia, which the US aristocracy craves to conquer, is an ally of Iran (which they hope to re-conquer).

The basic principle of America’s aristocracy is repudiation of national sovereignty. That’s what the US Government globally stands for today.

Russian Television headlined on May 11th, “‘Are we America’s vassals?’ France vows to trade with Iran in defiance of US ‘economic policeman’” and reported that US President Donald Trump’s re-imposition of US economic sanctions against any companies that do business with Iran, is being resisted by all the other nations that had signed the Obama-Kerry nuclear accord with Iran, the “JCPOA” treaty: UK, France, China, Russia, US, and EU (which is led by Germany).

The US regime knows that if even America’s allies — UK, France, and Germany — hold together with Iran, to defy the Imperial actions punishing them for continuing with Iran even after the US pull-out from the treaty, then the Western Alliance will be jeopardized, if not terminated altogether, and finally the Cold War, which GHW Bush had ordered the allies to continue even after the end of the USSR, and of its communism, and of its Warsaw Pact military alliance mirroring America’s NATO alliance, will finally end also on America’s side, just as it had ended in 1991 on the Soviet Union’s side. Such an end to the Cold War would possibly cause America’s military-industrial complex — and the stock values of mega-corporations such as Lockheed Martin — to collapse.

Thus, the US aristocracy is afraid of peace replacing their existing permanent-war economy. All those trillions of dollars that have been invested in machines of mass-murder abroad, could plunge in value, if UK, France, and Germany, terminate the Western Alliance, and become individual sovereign nations who join with Iran — another individual sovereign nation — to say no to the Imperial power (the US), and yes to national sovereignty, which sovereignty constitutes the sole foundation-stone upon which any and all democracies are constructed. No democracy can exist in any nation that is a vassal to some other (the imperial power). In a world where national sovereignty is honored, democracy would not necessarily exist everywhere, but it would no longer be internationally prohibited by an imperial power, which inevitably is itself a dictatorship, no real democracy at all.

On March 3rd, the 175-year-old imperial magazine, The Economist, headlined against China as an enemy in this continuing Cold War, “How the West got China wrong” and explained “the Chinese threat”:

> “China is not a market economy and, on its present course, never will be. Instead, it increasingly controls business as an arm of state power… Foreign businesses are profitable but miserable, because commerce always seems to be on China’s terms.”

The imperialistic view is that the international dictator and its corporations should rule — there should be no real sovereign other than this dictatorship, by the US regime now, since America is today’s imperialist nation.

Perhaps Europe now will make the fateful decision, between international dictatorship on the one side, or else the supreme sovereignty of each and every nation on the other, to determine its own laws — and to require any corporation that does business there to adhere to its legal system and to none other: the supremacy of each nation within its own territory, not of any international corporations, not even of ones that are based in some international-bully country that says it’s “the one indispensable nation” — meaning that every other nation is “dispensable.” Russia won’t accept that. Iran won’t accept that. China won’t accept that. Will Germany accept it — the land of the original: “Deutschland über alles”? Will France? Will UK?

Americans accept it. The US public are very effectively controlled by America’s aristocracy. A Yougov poll at the start of 2017 (the start of Trump’s Presidency) asked over 7,000 Americans to rate countries as “enemy”, “unfriendly”, “friendly”, “ally”, or “not sure”; and, among the 144 rated countries, Americans placed at the most hostile end, in order from the very worst, to the 13th-from-worst: North Korea, Iran, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Russia, Libya, Somalia, Pakistan, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Sudan. Other than Saudi Arabia, which the US Government treats as being its master if not as being its very top ally, and which is, in any case, by far the US military’s biggest customer (other than the US Government, of course), that list from Yougov looks very much like, or else close to, what America’s aristocracy would want to see targeted, as being America’s ‘enemies’. So, other than Americans’ including the top ally both of America’s aristocracy and of Israel's aristocracy, Saudi Arabia, on that list of enemies, the list was very much what the US aristocracy’s ’news’media had been promoting as being America’s ‘enemies’.

In fact, even though those ‘news’media haven’t informed Americans that 92% of Saudi Arabians approve of ISIS, or that the Saudi royal family financed and organized the 9/11 attacks (in conjunction with others of George W. Bush’s friends), Americans view Saudi Arabia hostilely. That’s acceptable to America’s aristocracy, because the Saud family’s hatred is focused against Iran, the main Shiite nation, and the US public (have been deceive to) prefer Saudi Arabia over Iran. In fact, a 17 February 2016 Gallup poll showed that Iran was seen by Americans as being even more hostile toward Americans than is Saudi Arabia.

So, America’s aristocracy have no reason to be concerned that their chief ally and second-from-top governmental customer, the Saud family, are unfavorably viewed by the US public. Both in America and in Saudi Arabia, the aristocracy effectively controls its public. Thus, the American people think in the way that the American aristocracy want them to — supporting any conquest (e.g., Iraq 2003, Libya 2011, Syria 2012-) that the aristocracy want to perpetrate. Of course, the way to achieve this control is by means of the windows through which the public get to see the world around them, which windows on the world are the nation’s ‘news’media.

On May 12th, Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) reported that the American people are very effectively controlled to believe Iran to be America’s enemy and very dangerous to us. The headline was “Media Debate Best Way to Dominate Iran” and the article documented that the American people are being very intensively propagandized by the aristocratically controlled media, to favor aggression against Iran, and are being heavily lied-to, in order to achieve this.

So, though the American public will continue to support the American Government (despite distrusting both their government and their ‘news’media), foreign publics aren’t so rigidly under the control of America’s aristocracy; and therefore Europe’s aristocracies could abandon their alliance with the US aristocracy, if they strongly enough want to. Their ‘news’media would obediently do whatever they’re told, and could begin immediately portraying the reality of the US Government, to their people — including, for example, the reality that the US stole Ukraine, and some of the participants have even confessed their roles; Russia did not steal Crimea (and the Crimea-Ukraine issue was the alleged spark for the ‘restoration’ of the Cold War — which The West never actually ended on its side, only Russia did on its side).

An end of The Western Alliance (America’s empire) could happen. But it would require — from the EU’s leaders (and/or from Turkey’s Erdogan) — courage, conviction, and a commitment to national sovereignty’s being the foundation-stone to any democracy anywhere, and this change-of-political-theory would be something drastically new in Europe (and-or in Turkey), which is a region that has historically been staunchly supportive of empires, and thus supportive of dictatorships (ones that are compliant — foreign stooge-regimes). It would require a historic sea-change.

Short version:

Europe is fucked. Irreparably.

Long Version:

There is no "Europe". "Europe" as a sovereign political power exists as an Orwellian "EU"-apparatus predominantly towards inside, i.e. towards its serfs and as single point of contact for the large interests of the corporate and financial dominance class. Externally, "Europe", gets "energized" by the Zio-Anglo empire with a "financial system", a geopolitical "will" and spiritual "leadership" (however dilettantic, self-destructive and cynical and downright stupid these "qualities" are) as well as sucked dry materially and spiritually at the same time.

You can easily recognize it from the fact that Europe has had no leader to speak of since the time of Bismarck. "Europe" has no own life, it is in fact just the juicy, lucrative "E" in "EMEA" which the Chinese are trying to add as a mega-terminal-node to their OBOR empire (which the Zioanglos do their best to derail as it would leave them behind). Trumps order to Germany to stop North Stream 2 should lead to a good laugh in Berln but instead Merkel and her staff-cunts are panicking like headless chicken. The new US-ambassador to Germany should have been sent back to the US before he even started - instead he was "admonished" unofficially via Twitter by some low-ranked clerks for his order to the German industry to wind down their business in Iran immediately.

Europe has consumed up its historical capital and is low-level administrated by a bunch of power-craving cunts with no particular idea why Europe and its nations exist as political entities in the first place (apart from being a handy container for certain traditions of law and commerce).

No populist party in Germany or Italy, no gnashing of a EU-politician's mandibles towards the US, nothing - can change this. Enjoy your pata negra, olio di oliva extra vergine biologico, fromage de chevre and Allgäuer Kässpatzen as long as you can afford them.

The UK joined the Common Market (a trade agreement), which was completely different to what the EU has morphed into. The people never signed up for an EU dictatorship, that is really what Brexit is about, we want our own sovereignty. The EU calling for centralised military and financial control is a worrying development, its the 4th Reich. They will become a strategic threat to the US, Russia and China due to the size of its land mass, army and economy (27 countries become one). If the EU dictators succeed, they will invade the UK and put it back under their control. Looks like the Islamic invasion is about having an army willing to massacre the white, Christian Europeans. Our survival depends on defeating these bastards.

You may be surprised how quickly they re-discover sovereignty. Excessive financial demands are a great brain kickstarter.

More financial demands for NATO but reduced income through sanctioning Iran and Russia plus US tariffs = overreach. They have no antenna for how far they can go.

I think this article and these comments, other than yours, have a very myopic and superficial view of Europe and the corporate and bureaucratic "aristocracy" that attempt to run things as well as the relative peace and political diversity in European countries.The JCPOA and trading with Iran should be viewed more as the final straw that breaks the camels back, in a relationship which has proved dysfunctional in political terms yet a commercially tolerable necessity principally for the elite (bankers) for many years. To address all the complexity of issues would take far more than a short comment but here are some points:

Firstly, IMHO it must be said that the level of education, awareness and sense of independence, of the European people is far higher than that of North America.

The national identity within EU nations is not diminished by union and the benefits of union is appreciated especially by the present economically empowered generation.

Most Europeans are very aware that Brussels and Strasbourg need reform, are aware of the shortcomings, and are happy to continue with a union but are not interested in a strong "federalist" system. As such the effect of corporate lobbying Washington style, is already one of the banes of contention, as is the excessive bureaucratic dictatorial control, but as well as all parties being aware of the need for reform, especially in view of Brexit, and the Greek fiasco, there are growing movements towards democratic reform such as DiEM25.

The need to express power in military terms is also counter productive in the eyes of most EU citizens and as such NATO has been a redundant organization for many years, and being dominated by Washington, has been working against the values and interests as seen by most ordinary Europeans. (for example, Afghanistan is not Europe and has no bearing on European lives).

In short the patient has been infected by the disease of the imperialist neighbour across the Atlantic, but although it may prove fatal for the US, the people of the EU may have a healthier immune system principally because of a weaker central governing body and stronger regional anti-bodies. Perhaps this resistance is a consequence of experience of repeated invasion and adaptation.

My eyes glazed over when this Jew blamed 9/11 on the Saudis. (Anyone who's been asleep these last two decades can take a look at bollyn.com to have the case laid out in detail that it was Israel, neocon dual citizens and a few key goy helpers that did it. For a quick summary download the pdf of Zander Fuerza's Masters of Deception.)

Why, on critical issues, does Zerohedge put out so many articles by Jews, where the Tribe has a clear interest in obfuscation? As a matter of fact, the Tribe is the single biggest critical factor behind globalization. But for their satanist plotting, the planet would be entirely different. What a German said over a hundred years ago is still the case: The Jews are our sorrow.

Jews were the main force behind the attacks on Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. They were and are the main proponents of swamping Europe's nation states with Muslim immigrants from those war zones and elsewhere. And now, as here, with the thousands of trolls from Israel's Ministry of Strategic Affairs and from America's many Jewish organizations, Jews are stirring up hatred against those immigrants, to secure Jewish rule over those erstwhile nation states.

"But it would require — from the EU’s leaders (and/or from Turkey’s Erdogan) — courage, conviction, and a commitment to national sovereignty’s being the foundation-stone ,,,"

The EU leaders are parasitoid corporate fascists. They have no interest in sovereignty or in their own country's "democracy". What is happening now is theater for the benefit of their subject "citizens". If they had blithely accepted Trumps negation of the treaty with Iran, they would have been exposed as the psychotic, lethal, human impersonators that they are.

Europe: National Sovereignty Vs. International Conquest, At Stake Over Iran

Ok

I prefer to see it simple, WAR or PEACE

Who gave this ultimatum =====>Israhell via OrangeAgent and its joo cabal admin, not by the American People.

So these international, globalist bodies like IMF and WB etc in the USA are down with these tell pretty much that it's a plan to bring NWO or whatever for it this Iran deal is the excuse.

Are the European equivalents of these are also in cahoots with this big changes?

In the Process destroying the USA, and EU economy at the same time ruining Iran?

What a willing 666D chess player puppet they got in the dark house.

I am a student of history and when there is no historic precedent, you can only extrapolate and at times have an educated guess. I'm guessing like silver 140, that this move is a ruse and pure public theatre for the plebs, but ultimately the E.U will come on board with the USSA.

If this E.U stance is genuine, it will in my opinion, officially mark the beginning of the end of the USSA empire. This will be open defiance of a the global structures that enforced the USSA sanctions on Iran.

I always knew the USSA public was never capable of starting the process of shaking off the ZOG and their Jewish masters. The nation has too many subservient and treasonous white Goyim traitors and fervent christian Zionists. This is just a fact.

I think there is truth in what you say, but I see it at this stage as factions pulling both ways in Europe. One side east and the multi-national corporate banking and their bureaucratic minions in Brussels pulling west.

It's not all show and there will be change, but clearly west equals conflict and possible global war, east means multi-polar cooperation. So since the east is getting stronger and the petrodollar hegemony weaker, my odds are on Washington and their Zionist gangsters being left in the dust when the cards are all dealt.
