Outlines
📉 Economic Downturn in Germany and the EU
The first paragraph discusses the current economic decline in Germany, which is considered the economic engine of the European Union. The downturn is attributed to inflation following the events in Ukraine and the cessation of Russian gas supplies. The script notes a decrease in confidence among Germans and a divergence from the country's historical economic strength. Despite some media suggesting an improvement in Germany's competitiveness, PMI data and economic figures indicate a collapse in industrial production and a resurgence of inflation. The government's green policies, including the closure of nuclear power stations, are highlighted as contributing factors to the energy crisis and recession.
🇪🇺 The Impact of German Economic Policies on the EU
The second paragraph delves into the implications of Germany's economic situation for the rest of the European Union. It suggests that the core Eurozone countries, led by Germany, are underperforming economically with no signs of improvement. The speaker criticizes the suggestion to use deficit financing as a solution, pointing out the long-term risks associated with such policies. The paragraph also touches on the EU's actions against Hungary and Slovakia, accusing the EU of blocking oil transit as part of a broader policy against trade with Russia, which is exacerbating Germany's economic problems.
🔄 Germany's Economic Challenges and Political Stagnation
The third paragraph examines Germany's systemic economic issues, which have been exposed due to the loss of cheap Russian gas. The speaker argues that instead of using the economic stability provided by cheap energy to implement reforms, Germany's leadership was complacent, leading to a buildup of problems. The current political situation is also discussed, with the expectation that the CDU, under the leadership of Fredrick Matz, will return to power without changing the existing policies, suggesting a continuation of Germany's economic decline.
🏛️ The EU's Centralization and Its Effects on Member States
The fourth paragraph discusses the centralization of power within the European Union and its negative impact on member states. The speaker notes a decline in economic growth in Europe since the establishment of the Euro and the strengthening of the EU center, which has led to weaker member states. The lack of self-correction mechanisms due to the absence of individual currencies is highlighted, along with the EU's failure to honor exemptions for Hungary and Slovakia, which has resulted in further economic strain on these countries.
🛑 The EU's Confrontational Policies and Their Consequences
The fifth paragraph explores the EU's policies of confrontation with Russia and the resulting effects on the economic strength of Germany and the EU. The speaker suggests that the EU and the United States have a common interest in weakening Germany's economic ties with Russia, even at the expense of Germany's future prosperity. The increasing power of the EU center and its detachment from the well-being of the member states and their citizens is criticized, with the EU officials being portrayed as more interested in maintaining their power than in the welfare of the people.
🌐 The Disconnection Between the EU and European Identity
The final paragraph addresses the disconnection between the European Union and the broader identity of Europe. The speaker criticizes the EU for conflating itself with the idea of Europe, leading to a situation where citizens are willing to sacrifice their personal wealth for the sake of being part of the EU. The paragraph concludes by highlighting the propaganda that has led to this mindset and the EU's role as a 'parasite' harming the host continent.

Transcripts
all right Alexander let's talk about the
German economy and if we are going to
talk about the German economy we have to
talk about the general economic
situation in the European Union because
Germany is the economic engine of the
European Union as Germany uh goes so
does the European Union and right now
the German economy is going down it is
it is going down very quickly and that's
not good news news for Germany not good
news for Ola Schultz and not good news
for the European Union what is going on
in Germany that is exactly what's
happening now of course bar mind I was
in Germany a few weeks ago and you know
it was noticeable that people were uh
feeling the economic Mala um it was
something that people were bringing up
they were bringing up the fact that
there' been this enormous inflation um
directly after the events in Ukraine and
you know the
uh stopping of the Russian gas people
were not making the connection by the
way with the stopping of the Russian gas
and they weren't yet doing so but um
they were experiencing um economic
decline the economic decline of Germany
and it was striking how um confidence
seems to be ebing even amongst the
German people um which has always
historically by the way been very high I
mean the Germans have always je people
in Germany have always tended to think
that you know their economy is doing
really well Germany knows how to do
things that there uh uh you know others
should copy what Germany does because
the Germans do it well and better than
others you you got a lot less of that
this time but anyway suffice to say over
the last couple of weeks I noticed a
whole crop of Articles starting to
appear in the financial times in various
other journals telling us actually you
know that Germany is you know it's not
really doing so badly it's regaining its
competitiveness it's competitiveness
level is back to what it was in
2018 um that um um things are starting
to look up and then of course the PMI
data and the economic figures um came
out and they show P
Andi collapsing I mean it's in the 40s
for industry industrial production
continuing to fall inflation
interestingly Rising again and it's not
actually so surprising because
um the steady stable supply of cheap
energy from Russia has stopped um the
government still has um a
green um coalition
uh partner the greens are still in the
government they still have ideas about
how energy should be uh managed in um
Germany you know they've closed down all
the nuclear power stations for example
so um Energy prices are rising in
Germany energy costs are rising
inflation is rising and it turns out
that Germany's again falling back into
recession so the entire story of the
Schultz government from the very first
day of its creation has been of econ
economic failure and of economic Decline
and um there's been by the way an
absolutely excoriating article uh not
article sorry speech about
Schultz um by none other than Victor
Orban who has been talking about how you
know
um the chancellor of Germany who as he
was careful to say he's not a fool um
invariably ends up doing
those things which the US tells him to
do and the result is a disaster for
Germany a steady accelerating process of
de-industrialization and economic
decline in Germany and of course this is
now translating into the overall
problems of the Euro zone so again there
was a lot huge attempt to try to talk up
the overall figures for the Euro Zone I
think it managed was it
0.8% growth in the first uh half of this
year I mean dismal growth by any measure
but the reality is to the extent that
there's been any growth it has come from
the
Mediterranean countries especially Spain
for some reason that the you know the
growth figures have been a bit better
there I don't by the way believe that
there's any
long-term reality to this either um the
Eurozone core which is Germany and the
countries around it the you know the
indust the German block if you like is
doing badly it continues to Sag um and
there's no there's no
Prospect of this changing and no real
way I think that it can change um
suffice to say that the
major suggestion made by people outside
Germany is that Germany abolish its uh
break on deficit financing starts to do
what the US Britain France Italy all the
other countries do which is borrow and
use all that borrowing to reflate its
economy in that kind of way the
experience has been if you do that it
works for a while you know it gives you
may give you five or 10 years of growth
But ultimately it catches up with you in
the end and we see that growth in the
very heavily indebted countries uh now
is not very good and productivity growth
in those countries is very poor though
it must be said productivity growth in
Germany also at the moment is going
backwards so I don't really see a
long-term way out of this
so what
uh what does Germany do what do the you
do I mean they they've cut off they've
cut off their only way out of this which
is cheap Russian uh gas cheap Russian
oil and actually the EU is even going
harder uh on on Hungary and Slovakia
they're not even allowing Slovakia now
to to Transit oil bya Ukraine then and
you know Ukraine blocked the oil Transit
but everyone now knows that it was
actually the EU
that is behind this blocking of of the
oil to Hungary and Slovakia so I mean
they're going in the exact opposite
direction instead of trying to to at
least open up some some uh some channels
of of diplomacy and discussion and
business with Russia in order to try and
prevent further de-industrialization and
recession they're they're going harder
against uh against the trade with Russia
so
what there's no way out of this but yeah
the the the oil Transit story to Hungary
and Slovakia is directly connected to
what we've just been talking about and
the problems in Germany because of
course you're absolutely correct the
Hungarian foreign Ministry has said that
the decision to stop the oil flows from
Russia via Ukraine to Hungary and
Slovakia was not made in Kiev it was
made in Brussels obviously I mean I mean
the hungarians have actually said that
and notice that no one is denying I mean
the the EU themselves are not denying it
and of course the people who make the
decisions in Brussels never make them
without first Consulting with Berlin so
Berlin is continuing these policies of
cutting
off uh Russian oil and gas when he can
to Europe um even if it does so at the
price
of in effect sanctioning other EU
countries because in effect what's just
happened is that Hungary and Slovakia
have just been sanctioned by the EU the
EU has sanctioned two of its own member
states because this is what this amounts
to but um what the EU Center which of
course includes Berlin in fact Berlin is
at its core is persisting in doing
is that it's cutting Germany which is
it's ultimately Germany that we're
talking about if oil doesn't flow into
Hungary and oil doesn't flow into
Slovakia then realistically it can't go
to Germany either it's cutting off
Germany from its economic hland which
ultimately was Russia so
um in
inevitably so long as this policy is
persisted in
um Germany and the EU will continue to
go into decline now there doesn't seem
to be any ability or understanding or
willingness in Berlin to change this
policy um I get the sense that the
entire political class is United around
it the opponents of this policy are
located either on the left within Sagen
X group or on the right within the
but of the best possible electoral
arithmetic neither of these parties
either separately or in combination
could ever form a majority in the German
Parliament the most likely new governing
party in Germany after the elections
which are due to take place next year is
the CDU the CDU will return to power led
by Fredick matz and they're not going to
change the policy in any way I mean I
see no sign of any willingness on that
part to change the policy at all so
Germany is now trapped in long-term
decline it's a long-term decline from a
very very high level but it's going to
accelerate because what's also become
clear and it's something that we have
been talking about many many times in
many many programs that we've been doing
on the
Duran cheap Russian gas was not only
essential in keeping the German economy
functioning and competitive but that it
also concealed many of the problems that
have been accumulating in Germany over a
very very long time instead of the
German leadership
using the fact that they had cheap
energy to you know to provide them space
political space to carry out major
reconstruction and reforms within
Germany to address the many problems
that existed in
Germany they were content to let things
continue as they were and the result is
that Germany today is exposed as having
many systemic problems in its economy
which is political class show no no
understanding of or willingness to fix
um you're getting more and more reports
by by the way and you know um again
people are I know people who are in the
midhill St these um you know family run
businesses that have been the core of
the German economy more and more of them
apparently are closing down or going
bankrupt again a shattering thing to
happen in a place like Germany the
pressures are intensifying all the
time yeah but uh that that's been the
plan all along I mean
Germany okay so the EU consults with
Germany when they make their decisions
with regards to to now cutting off
Hungary and Slovakia from uh from cheap
reliable Russian oil that they got an
exemption for to begin with the EU
promised an exemption gave them an
exemption so I mean the EU is going back
on its word going back on its deal what
a surprise surprise there exactly Sid
yeah siding with a country that's not in
the EU against two member states what is
priz there as well but um Germany has to
consult with the United States so I mean
I mean that's that's the that's the
chain of command right so the EU is
going to consult with Germany before
making any decisions with Hungary and
Slovakia but Germany is also going to
get the orders from the United States I
mean this is deliberate uh the the plan
all along was was uh to to take apart
Germany or at least to definitely sever
Germany's uh connection to Russia and
Germany's economic uh prosperity
that's that's done that's over with now
I imagine Germany's just going to be a
an economy that's driven by weapons
production I think that's going to
probably be the main driver of the
economy going forward I don't know and
other services that that they're going
to be uh be doing the rest of the
European Union
tourism I me tourism stuff like that I I
can't think of anything else there's
chip chip manufacturing some production
in Italy Malone's trying to do something
with China but I I imagine that
eventually she's going to get uh she's
going to get blocked by the United
States as well I don't think that her
trip to China is going to to make any
difference the US will tell her to to
knock it off and she will because she'll
do whatever whatever her Masters tell
her to do uh keep Germany down I mean
this has been the NATO motto keep Russia
out keep Germany down and effectively uh
the United States takes over the
globalists in the United States they're
they're going to be running Europe I
don't think this is good for the United
States to be honest because you know you
don't want to have to take care of a
broken bankrupt uh Europe or fund a
broken bankrupt Europe but that's what
the American people are effectively
getting a broken bankrupt Europe that
they're going to be taken care of and uh
I imagine the European Union they're
thinking the the weaker the member
states are the better for us we can
concentrate more power to the center so
I guess that's the that's uh the eu's uh
thinking on all of this when when
they're looking at Germany and France
and the core members disintegrating well
well this is exactly I there's a lot of
points here let's start with the last
one about the EU Center the EU Center um
ever since the EU Center started to
become particularly strong ever since
the Euro for example was established but
even going a little before then what
you've seen is a steady decline in
economic growth in Europe I mean it's
often difficult to remember but you know
Italy despite its many problems and its
historically High inflation nonetheless
had very very high growth rates in the '
50s 60s even the 70s in briefly in the
80s it surpassed Britain in GDP I mean
the the so-called surpass so which has
made a huge you know impact as I
remember at the time and then of course
what happened is the Euro was a Lish the
EU Center got stronger the member states
got weaker and as the member states got
weaker so did the economies and of
course the fact that these countries
don't have their own currencies means
that there is no um Market mechanism for
self-correction so you know Italy runs
lots of debts it has uh problems with
budget and other deficits normally if it
was running its own currency that would
make the Italian l decline that would
boost um competitiveness for Italy that
would benefit Italian industry and Italy
is an important export economy and
things would ultimately WR themselves
that was how it used to work it can't do
that anymore and of course the longer
that this process continues the greater
the structural problems I mean if you
ended the Euro now um and it
reintroduced
currencies there would be a period I
don't think a very long period but there
would be a significant period a year or
so of profound economic chaos and great
uh um and and and extreme recessions
before things began to readjust
themselves so the EU Center has become
stronger and
stronger even and because the member
states have been becoming weaker and
weaker and of course the weaker the
member states become the more the
stronger the EU Center becomes relative
to them and you can see how it is
behaving now I mean you know as you
correctly said it gave the um Hungary
and Slovakia the exemption um the
exemption was never worth the paper it
was written on I think
Orban frankly was wrong to agree to you
know all the those sanctions because he
should have known that if he did agree
to those sanctions um in return for
these exemptions the fact is that the
exemption would not be honored and
that's exactly what we've seen we've
seen how the European Union simply goes
around it exemption by getting the
ukrainians to block the oil flows and um
this is this is the pattern and of
course Germany
itself which for a certain period of
time
appeared to be the beneficiary of this
because it was the core State um and you
know at the very center and you know the
other parts of Europe with the periphery
it's now also experiencing the same
problems as all the other EU states are
it's also finding that the growing power
of the center the center's ability to
impose policies on the member states
like confront
with Russia and all the rest are
starting to impact directly upon its
economic interests but it's the center
now is so strong that it's very very
difficult even for Germany even if it
had the will to do so to break away and
psychologically for Germany to do that
is even more difficult still and of
course the center as you absolutely
rightly say is Keen on um aligning
itself with the United States but there
is something else to understand about
the policies of the EU Center and here
we have if you like a commonality of
interest between the Brussels
bureaucracy and Washington because
you're absolutely correct uh in what you
said it is not in the interest of the
United States to have a b a broken
bankrupt Eur Europe I mean a weak
Europe
objectively is overall is a drag on
American power this is something that
American uh leaders in the 1940s and
1950s understood very very well which is
why they worked very very hard after the
second world war to reconstruct Europe
you know martial Aid and all of that now
of course they're doing the reverse
and the reason they're doing that rever
the reverse is
because both
Brussels and
Washington at some point came to
understand that German prosperity and
German
strength were only really possible as a
result of this connection with Russia
and Russia being the iversary Moscow
being the one C major capital on the
western
Eurasian land mass that is no longer you
know subject to the control either of
the EU Center or of Washington that was
absolute anatoma so sever that link
break it
completely um even at the price of
sacrificing Germany's economic
future and um because if you don't do
that then the power of the center over
Germany and the other EU States cannot
be as strong as it has basically now
become the EU center today is stronger
than it has ever been at any point since
the European Community the European
economic Community was founded by the
Treaty of Rome in 1960 it has been
getting stronger and stronger all the
time and the policies it is pursuing of
confrontation with Russia are making it
stronger still of course
stronger the center is stronger
Europe the continent the people who live
there the nation states they're getting
weaker what does that benefit
the EU then I mean that's that's the
that's the ultimate problem with the
European Union the member states are
much weaker yeah much worse off and that
five years ago there's no comparison you
you go to Europe you walk around the
streets of what which I know Greece
Cyprus I mean five years ago much better
than than today it's obvious it's
glaringly obvious but what is what do
Europe the European Union gain by all of
this I mean eventually
it's a table that's losing its legs yes
it is a table that's losing it leg get
stronger yeah gets stronger but it's
going to collapse but but but what good
are you with weak with weak member
states yes if you are if you're the
European commission if you work in the
European commission then you have the
enormous psychological
satisfaction of being at the center of
power over the whole of the European
Union which is not to be discounted
the exercise of power is tremendously
tempting the ability to make and break
Nations to make and break governments to
impose policies on them
um governments especially entities when
they're like the entities of the
European Union are I mean they don't
give up power easily and um their
Instinct anyway always is to acquire
more and more of it so if you're talking
talking about you know if you're
thinking about things in terms of power
then of course for the people who work
in Brussels this is this is a this is
good the fact that people in Germany and
Italy and France and Greece and Spain
are poorer than they were well this
isn't something
that worries them so much that's the
first thing the other is and this is an
important thing to always remember is
that these people who make these
decisions are not individually affected
by them materially they're doing very
well they paid enormous salaries they
have enormous benefits they can look
forward to further promotion within the
system which has infinite ability to
provide patronage and promotion they
don't think of themselves they don't see
themselves as As Leaders of a declining
Empire they are on the contrary um you
know um cocooned away in this Buble
where they feel themselves getting
stronger and wealthier and where they're
all you know um spending their time
telling each other how clever and great
they are and from that point of view you
know they're doing very
well and of course they go to Washington
where they're taking very very seriously
Ursula V the liion meets all the great
people in Washington all of that and
they could still because the European
Europe is still you
know important part of the world they're
still able to travel around the world
imagining to themselves that the
European Union is taken seriously in
places like um you know
um um quala lumur or Singapore or uh
Brazil or wherever and you know they
come in you know with large you know
trains Entourage and all of the all of
the rest and you know they still have
the sense that you know they're walking
on clouds and uh you know acting like
Gods so from their point of view this
isn't
bad until the people get get more well
well until the until the whole thing
yeah I think they realize one thing the
European Union the center realiz is one
thing that uh that they have a long way
to go before the people actually really
get upset I think we're way way far far
off from from that well indeed they know
it they know it exactly and they can do
it and they can play this game and they
will and they will do it and of course
you know there are also some people who
are very fanatical and very fervid
people from the Baltic states for
example who um obsessed with one
particular issue mono mono issue in
effect which is to conflict with Russia
that's the only thing that they're
concerned about and for from them from
their point of view the EU serves its
purpose if it fulfills it so that that
means that the EU has its loyal spear
leaders there notice how many you EU
officials now uh um come from the Baltic
states disproportionate number given
given the small populations of these
places
it's not only the Baltic states just to
finish off the video there are a lot of
people uh everyday citizens that are
very
propagandized uh by the European Union
you know for many people all they know
is is the European Union Yes I mean I've
met people in in Cypress who have who
have told me directly if the European
Union wants to come into my bank and
take my money again so be it I have no
problem with it as long as I can be
called European yes Ian there are people
with that line of thinking as long as
you can call me European I have no
problem with the EU taking whatever they
need to take from me even if it's my own
