How to Combat Propaganda and Transatlantic Madness | Austrian Publisher Fritz Edlinger

Translation: Anyone who followed the events around the disbandment of the Palestine Congress on April 12th in Berlin, ending with speakers, including former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, being issued entry and activity bans, knows that the rule of law in Germany is not in good shape. But repression and propaganda in Europe go much further, driving the continent into open conflict with Russia. What to do?
Resistance. That's the answer someone gives who knows what he's talking about. Austrian activist, publisher, and thinker Fritz Edlinger.
For 40 years, Fritz and his editorial team have been publishing the magazine "International: Die Zeitschrift für internationale Politik" (International: The Magazine for International Politics), one of the best and most informative quarterly magazines in the German-speaking world in this field, with excellent analyses of current events written by academics, diplomats, and other experts in international relations.

    It comforts me to see that a very experienced journalist like Edlinger has the same perception of the very disquieting development of the mainstream press, free speech and foreign policy. Sometimes I do question myself, and I think that is not possible, maybe I have fallen into the trap of biased, radical, cospiratorial media. And yet it is only outside the mainstream that I hear people talking sense, not sounding like propaganda, not twisting logic and truth.

    The people of the Americas (most of whom are Christians), including the USA, have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common. Strategically ambiguous rulers make use of this, for own advantages. In the era of European Imperialism, first Spain and Portugal entered the Americas, employing the divide and rule technique of top-down power, then after 1900 as European colonial powers' influence decreased, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC (the entire world was the playground after around 1900). *Today, it is the globalists who employ imperialist tools to play divide and rule games on their neighbors.* Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the Americas, in order to rule over the dissent which is classical divide and rule. Today, their leaders are too weak to unite. Endless wars on anything and everything from "drugs" to "terror", constant dissent. Insert levers of lies, mistrust... Create favorites: favoritism... Point the systemic finger, everywhere else... Divide and Rule. Oldest trick in the book... In February 1948, George F. Kennan's Policy Planning Staff said: "[W]e have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. ... Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity." [Critical question: Who is "we"?] And _that_ is what they did. America's friends and self-proclaimed default rivals in Europe are still being burnt to ensure this disparity continues. *Set up European and Eurasian nations (including the MENA region) against each other.* It is how divide and rule is implemented. The imperialist playbook of Great Britain and the USA for more than 100 years. Read Halford Mackinder (Pivot of History, 1904) and Zbigniew Brzezinski (Grand Chessboard, 1997) regarding Eurasia. Who wields the POWER? Who has had (in all historical cases in the ME/Levant) the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of being able to reach all the other little buck catchers (tools, and other Roman-era style instruments of POWER), but could not be reached itself, because of a geographical-, technological-, organizational-, military-, strategic-, political advantage at any given point of a historical timeline? *War is a great "divider."* It goes straight through the heads of millions and billions of people from the very top tiers, right down to the individual level. War divides alignments and alliances, goes straight through organizations, divides political parties, tears through peace movements and other families of humanity, and finally at the very bottom tier, goes straight through individual hearts and minds as individuals struggle with _themselves._ "Most of the great problems we face are caused by politicians creating solutions to problems they created in the first place." - Walter E. Williams That is what empires have always done. Create the *default rival/enemy.* It is usually the power most likely to succeed which is determined as the *default rival/enemy.* Notice how, as soon as a rival starts mass-producing products high up in the value chain of capitalism, and starts vying for markets, and becomes successful, it *immediately* becomes the systemic rival, and is then geopolitically encircled by the greater empire. It happened around 1900, as Germany started building high-value products, and it happened around 2000, as China started moving away from building cheap toys and labor intensive kitchen appliances... The games start on the home turf. The first victims are their own people.

    What an excellent video and one that I have been waiting for so that I could understand Europe better. Europe has truly mystified me throughout this conflict. Why is it so destructive? Why does it not decouple from the US and NATO? And I applaud Herr Edlinger for noting the role of Great Britain. Many do not recognize that the U.S. Britain combo has been a disaster. We have totally forgotten that our very first President warned against foreign entanglements and that was a warning about NATO and against involvement with Britain. Yes, it was. And many Americans underestimate Britain’s role in our civil war. I wish the periodical was published in English. I also wish that my college study period in wonderful Austria resulted in better German, but I do know some German and can translate with a bit of difficulty. A German review is indeed in order. Thank you, Pascal.

Here in Portugal there is still a single party on the left that shares a vision very similar to that set out here, the Communist Party. The others, perhaps out of fear of losing support, became implicit supporters of Von der Leyen and NATO's positions. It is incredible how in Portugal even a few retired major generals, who were involved in several international conflicts through NATO, just because they had more realistic positions, for a negotiated solution to the conflict in Ukraine, were immediately named Putinists.

    Let's define 'modernism' as the 'revolutionary' period, in which ordinary people dreamed of utopias and now best to achieve them. The period about which Dostoyevski writes. The period ushered in by people like Marx which lasted until the end of WW2. I think the commonality of most modernist movements was that they were essentially left leaning. That is to say, they were about attempting to better the lives of 'ordinary' people. These movements came by and large in 'international' (communism) and national (fascism) flavours. The focus was on the collective, whether that be all humanity, or just those deemed 'citizens' of particular countries. After the war Europe enjoyed a period of peace and prosperity which was a hangover of modernism, which by that point had been moved politically to the centre and lost its more revolutionary edge. What we might call the 'centre left'. This period ended in the late 90's. The US is fond of calling this period 'the great peace' which they believe they sponsored, but was actually just war weariness in Europe. Now let's define post-modernism (the period between say, 1995 and today) as essentially right wing modernism, which comes in both international and national flavours. This came about because the US largely sat out modernism, and in fact views modernism simply as a period of unrest and war, without fully appreciating the causes of that unrest (what came before modernism). We are in a time of unrest for two reasons then: 1. The US ran up 40T in debt believing it would never have to pay it back. Most of that money ended up in the back pockets of individuals, or was spent on overpriced weapons. 2. The period began when the US first used the term 'leader of the free world' (I think that was Bush Jnr?) The US has taken over and is ill-equipped to do so, because it sat out modernism.

    Good. Yes, the post WW2 period saw the USA become the cultural leader of Europe, in line with its hegemonic position. Some key moments are the overthrow of Allende (the violent installation of the world's first neoliberal regime under Pinochet), and the elections of Thatcher and Reagan, although these politicians were/are regarded as culturally conservative, family values etc.. Then there is the end of the cold war, and the deliberate cultivation of widespread disillusion about even lukewarm forms of socialism (e.g. school milk, or nationalised railways). Later on, almost all the socialist and social democratic parties got on board with neoliberal ideology, via various versions of "third way" rhetoric, essentially a capitulation, and abandonment of any form of class consciousness. I am not sure I *entirely* agree about your characterisation of postmodernism between 1995 and today as right wing. At least, *today's* right wing are constantly whining about "multiculturalism", "diversity", cultural relativism (which they invariably call "cultural Marxism") and other similar social-liberal values which are (in my mind) central to postmodernism. They complain about "today's cancel culture" but seem to have forgotten that McCarthyism was a hugely successful, mainstream anti-leftist project all about cancelling people with the wrong opinions, I would locate the birth of postmodernism between the late 1950s and mid 1960s (the Beatles, pop art, exotic recipe books, trips to Marrakesh or Goa), and I would absolutely associate this more "catholic" form of postmodernism with the centre-left, or cultural liberalism. As McCarthyism lost its grip, postmodernism took over. The mid-to-late '90s saw a shift from that chaotic, experimental "anything goes" postmodern ethos of the later cold war period, towards an overtly globalist, and increasingly authoritarian neoliberal vision, not unlike that of the Pinochet regime, which is essentially the ideo-colonial project of 'the Washington consensus'. To achieve a broad base of support for this project, the ruling elites were rather *obliged* to co-opt the radical civil rights movements that had emerged in the '60s. Not those fighting for global communism, but those fighting for (e.g.) gay rights, or "save the whale", or "rock against racism", or vegetarianism or any number of boutique causes which were still hanging around after the the fall of the USSR. (Please note, I am not arguing against homosexuality, or vegetarianism or whales etc. here). Conservative politicians with "other" skin colors and "other" sexual preferences, and the discourse about "glass ceilings" for female professionals started to appear at around this time. It is revealing that the peace movement was never successfully co-opted, a position which the political centre today absolutely despises, but the liberal/centre-left *has* succeeded in pushing out all its peaceniks. These days, the lion's share of the anti-militaristic discourse is found amongst libertarians, who are often characterised as extreme right. OK, terms like "right" and "left" change their meaning in relation to the overton window, of course, so they get used in very particular ways. The term "cultural Marxism" appeals to today's right wing because "Marxism bad", but they are essentially complaining about an ideology that Pinochet would have been happy with, as long as Chicago School economics dominated all policy decisions. It seems to me that "left" in today's vulgar understanding, and especially in anglo-saxon culture, means *any* identarian politics, as long as *class-based analysis is entirely omitted* - and such an omission means that we now have a kind of "left" which is about as far from Marx as it is possible to be.

The left is still the same, it's about solidarity, no matter what colour you are or where you like to put it. Wokeness is a thing attributed to the left by the neo-con media as part of it's concerted 'culture wars' project, funded by people like Steve Bannon. They like to drag out weird people to talk about pronouns and statue toppling, hold them up to the public and suggest that this is what the left is. It's not..

As a Japanese, I recall the anti-war left in Japan used to idealize German's sincere reflection on the Nazi crimes in contrast to our LDP government which tried to downplay the war crimes and colonization. Even during the Iraq war, there were many European who criticized and took distance from the US. The war in Ukraine was something eye opening for me about Europe, and of course I find similar situation here in Japan where the leftist parties are also now too weak to stop the coming war with China.
