Het volgende artikel vond ik op het blog van Stan van Houcke, het origineel werd geschreven door Eric Zuesse, en is de vertaling van berichten op Deutsche Wirtschaft Nachrichten (DWN, vertaalt door Zuesse als: ‘German Economic News’, de link naar die webpagina, vindt u in het artikel). Deze vertaling werd op 18 maart jl. geplaatst op ‘Washington’s Blog’.

Het bericht gaat in op de EU-Turkse koehandel met vluchtelingen en het aanleggen van pijpleidingen naar de EU door Syrië, waarmee de Russische olie- en gasleveringen aan de EU kunnen worden gestopt. Bovendien, zoals u aan de kop hieronder kunt zien, wordt in dit bericht gewezen op de vergaring van macht over de EU door: de neoliberale grofgraaier Soros, de valse VS slang Obama, de Duitse machtswellusteling Merkel en de kalief van Ankara, Erdogan.

On
Friday, March 18th, a combined effort by George Soros, Barack Obama,
Angela Merkel, and Tayyip Erdogan, has arranged to get the EU to
abandon previously sacrosanct fundamental human rights of refugees,
and to transfer $6B+ to Turkey, in return for placing the refugee
burden onto Turkey and getting Turkey to cooperate so as to assist
the breakup of Syria, which will enable a gas-pipeline and an
oil-pipeline to be built through Syria to enable Qatar’s gas and
Saudi Arabia’s oil to be pipelined through Syria into the EU, so as
to replace Russian oil and gas, which now fuel the EU.

Here,
in my rush translations from the original German-language reports at
German Economic News (Deutsche
Wirtschafts Nachrichten)

Turkey
deal: Germany could take majority of refugees

The
most important consequence of the EU summit is not in the official
statement. A plan long discussed, now finalizing: Germany
takes the majority of refugees from Turkey, and oil and gas pipelines
will replace Russian oil and gas to Europe by Saudi oil and Qatari
gas.

According
to Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel, the leaders of the
European Union mutually
agreed with Turkey to
cut Russia out of the EU gas market, cut Qatar [a U.S. ally] in. They
agreed in the early hours of Friday on a refugee-&-gas-pipeline
package to be approved by the Turkish government.

This
agreement will substantially correspond to the Pact of Angela Merkel
with Turkish President Erdogan. But it apparently comprises
only a small portion of the prepared between Germany, Turkey and the
USA.

Gerald
Knaus, director of the Soros-funded think tank “European Stability
Initiative” (ESI), for many months now has been advising Chancellor
Angela Merkel on the refugee crisis. His ESI submitted the plan
in October.

The original
plan consists
of two parts: On
the one hand, Germany should, during the coming year, “grant
500,000 Syrian refugees asylum, who are now in Turkey.” Other
European countries may participate, but on a voluntary basis. At
the same time Turkey will take from Greece “all new migrants.”

Knaus,
himself Austrian, told the Viennese daily the
press, that
“in the background, a more
radical idea has already been largely negotiated” which will
“probably very soon be announced“:
Knaus said that a “coalition of the willing” will take 900
Syrians per day — “no matter how many Syrians come to
Greece.” This would be about 300,000 people per year —
slightly less than in the original Soros plan.

The
reason for Europe’s acquisition of hundreds of thousands of
refugees is obvious: The
proposed EU summit one-to-one solution would not be enough to relieve
Turkey significantly. Moreover, it’s not lawful from the
perspective of the Geneva Convention, as human
rights organizations have complained since the start of the Soros
proposal. The
coalition of the willing currently consists of Germany, Portugal and
Sweden. Austria has not yet agreed. Presumably Merkel will move
some other countries also to participate. Thus, the plan could
be presented as a European solution.

From
an organizational standpoint, Knaus thinks that consideration in
Turkey of the plan will succeed in an agreement being reached. Knaus
holds this to be essential. He told the newspaper Die
Welt:
“The acceptance, by the public, of receiving the refugees is
essential. Had we in Europe started earlier with a quota
solution, we’d be farther along today. I think that also
Sweden and Austria would have been on our side. Unfortunately,
the process in the past year fell out of control. We had no idea
who is coming into our country. This fueled fears. “

The
Soros plan is apparently agreed with the US government. Angela
Merkel supported in this way the geopolitical plans of the Americans,
who have a special interest in developing their energy policies in
the region. They are planning the Trans Adriatic Pipeline
(TAP). Construction
of TAP is pushed by the United States. This
will run from the Turkish border via Greece, Albania and the Strait
of Otranto to Italy. Thus, one of the main refugee routes
to Europe, which is particularly overloaded after the closure of the
Balkan route, will be cleared for pipelining gas into Europe.

Further
destabilization of the TAP region is therefore not in the interests
of the United States. They
also want to ensure that Europe is supplied via a pipeline that’s
under US control, not under Russian control. The
US and Russia are fighting for the European energy market.

It
is interesting in this context that a
competing Russian pipeline through Syrian territory could also
result. The
surprising retreat of the Russians from Syria might suggest that
there could be an agreement between Russia and the US: In this way,
the geopolitical interests of both Great Powers could be
safeguarded. The relationship between the pipeline projects and
the war in Syria has the raw material site Oilprice.net
analyzed in order that
all parties want to solve the dependence of Saudi oil.

In
this connection the role of the Americans is also in the
media largely
ignored regarding the visiting US diplomat Victoria Nuland in
Idomeni. Nuland’s pithy
sayings (such as “fuck the EU”) and her role in Ukraine, made her
try to become known as a Goodwill Ambassador for Europe; she Thursday
visited the refugee camps in the northern Greek Idomeni,
reports Kathimerini .

The
Turkish news portal Haberler reports
what Nuland said in Idomeni: “It needs to be done for these people
more. Athens has made a direct request to Washington. In
this difficult situation, I’m here, for American-Greek
solidarity. We
will work together to solve the problem of distribution of refugees
within the EU. In
addition, we want to help ensure that the deal between the EU and
Turkey is fair and transparent. It’s time to better
accommodate the migrants. “

On
11 March, Nuland met with representatives of the Greek government in
Athens to discuss the full range of bilateral and regional issues,
including the request for assistance of Greece to the United States,
in solving the migration problem, reported
the US State Department .

This
context could explain also why Angela Merkel has waited so
long to go to the German public with a real plan for the refugee
crisis — even though they have long been familiar with the
Soros plan and he apparently also laid the basis with the Chancellor
for Turkey jointly to launch the proposal at the EU summit: this was
to help Merkel not to inflame sentiment in Germany before the
state elections. Because the message that Germany could possibly
be the only country to take a large number of refugees, would have a
serious impact that has led even without this perspective to tectonic
shifts in favor of the AFD [anti-immigrant party].

Knaus
sees the axis Ankara-Berlin as crucial for geopolitical
orientation against Russia. He said in an international
interview that Germany made the mistake not to place undue reliance
on the EU Commission: “Germany has early understood much. But
it made the mistake of relying too much on the implementation by the
Commission. Germany would have taken matters into its own hands
earlier.”

Knaus
sees the role of Germany as partners with Turkey and the USA. Here
lies the common interest to host the refugees: “Germany does not
expire like other states in an anti-Islam rhetoric. At the same
time it sees Ankara, in a delicate geostrategic position between
anti-Muslim governments in Europe and a strong Putin. A
successful and connected in partnership by Berlin may be worth a lot
for Turkey and its approach to Europe.”

This
closes the circle for the TAP pipeline: The Americans want to
snatch the European energy market away from Russia. In the
absence of our own energy policy, Europeans are currently completely
dependent on Russia. If both pipelines – quasi in a duopoly of
the Americans and the Russians – are built, the energy policy space
for the EU would increase significantly.

That led
to the present situation, a murderous war that’s driven hundreds of
thousands from Syria and Iraq. It had to be, from a
geopolitical point of view of the parties — Russia, the US and the
EU — regarded as collateral damage.

After
all, the Soros plan would in fact lead to the result that the right
of asylum would be respected so that immigration to Europe is
not completely disordered. What guarantees that the EU gets
Turkey to treat the refugees humanely, is completely unclear. It
also is unclear whether the acceptance of refugees in Germany can be
satisfactorily prepared. It also remains open whether the EU
will have, as a result of the apparent cleavage of the project,
neither the power to play as a political union, nor a role that goes
beyond that of simply a large, attractive market.
