THE BATTLE FOR EUROPE HAS BEGUN.

 My grandfather fought in the First World War,and my father in the Second,they fought gladly and were prepared to give their lives so that Britain and Europe would be free from either German or Russian oppression.

After the war my father,who had spent almost four years in the Middle East was disgusted and sick to the heart when The Allies carved up Europe and shackled Poland,Czechoslovakia Hungary and half a dozen or more other countries to the tyranny of Stalinist Russia. He had fought beside these men for freedom and he felt every bit as betrayed by his government as they must have done.

We entered the war to free these countries from German occupation only to sell them of to another aggressor,an exercise in futility? Who can say?

Two wars had however failed to bring about a satisfactory conclusion for either Germany or The Soviet Union,both wanted total domination of Europe.

Having failed to gain domination by force of arms these two nations are now locked in a financial battle to control Europe by taking over the assets and Governmental control of countries like Cyprus,Greece,Italy,Southern Ireland and who knows how many others as this strangle man made financial collapse plays out.

Russia has been attempting to occupy a warm water port for well over a century,this week we almost gave her that port!

The fact that Germany won this particular battle should not give any cause for relief,as they have now seized control of Cyprus exactly as the Russians would have done had the Cypriot Government agreed to their diabolical terms!

Germany and Russian have spent the past week playing a dangerous game of chicken with European stability and no on seems to have noticed what is really going on.

Energy, food in fact all resources are becoming scarce,now begins the inevitable land grab by the powerful nations in order to ensure their dominance in the future.

Never forget that at this moment in time we are dependant on countries such as Russian and France for our energy. Great terminals have been built in South Wales to store gas,not our own but imported gas and no matter how many of these tanks we fill we are still dependant of countries which have shown repeatedly throughout our history both ancient and modern that they do not have our best interests at heart. This is dangerous,it makes us vulnerable.

Does our benighted government seriously believe that in the event of a shortage of power France would still supply our needs, of course they would not,understandably they would see to the needs of their own people first,anyone who believes the contrary is living in Fairyland.

One by one members of the European Union will be taken over ,not by the E.U but by Germany,or Russia,in fact the highest bidder. During the past week it has been Germany delivering draconian ultimatums,not the E.U and it will be German money which bails our the poor Cypriots.

We should not feel snug, that we are still afloat,we should not feel safe in our “friendship” within the E.U.

These countries hate Great Britain, Germany will never forgive us for beating them twice and France will never forgive us for bailing them out twice,national pride was too badly dented.

These days we are expected to believe that every Frenchman was a member of the Resistance,this is very far from the truth. The British saved Europe twice and they hate us for it.

It is true that the U.S.A. .who became involved only when their Politicians could be sure which way the wind was blowing helped a great deal with armaments and with brave fighting men. The men were indeed brave ,wonderful men,but the American Government exacted such a price from the British for the assistance they gave that it almost bankrupt the U.K. in paying it back. The American soldier entered the war for the love of liberty ,the American Government entered the war very reluctantly, and for profit!

President Obama consistently shows his contempt for Britain while demanding a continuation of our assistance in matters military. Nothing new there.

This week,the battle for Europe began in earnest. How much easier it is to bankrupt an nation and then ,when it is on its financial knees offer assistance in exchange for total control,How much easier than sending in troops,and artillery. My God this is happening under our noses and no one has noticed,or so it seems.

Most ordinary people no matter what their nationality wish only to live peacefully,to have enough money to house their families and educate their children,they are not interested in power,that goes for both the Russian and the German peoples too.

This week for the sake of six and a half billion pounds,A drop in the ocean of world debt we almost gave Cyprus to the Russians ,there oil,there gas ,and the border with Turkey,it would be better to write off the debt in entire rather than risk another carve up.

Any reasonable person would think so,these men are not reasonable,they do not care who gets hurt,who starves,who dies,and I include our own politicians in this statement, for they cannot truly be in ignorance of the truth behind this charade.

With perestroika came a great opportunity for the Western World to show the people of Russia that we could work together. We could have helped them financially to make the transition from one way of life to another. Instead we let them down,we allowed their economy to collapse and then congratulated ourselves on our perspicacity. We were wrong,very wrong. During the years that followed the Russian people suffered so much that they were prepared to return to the rule of a man like Vladimir Putin. Freedom or starvation,which would you choose?

I have no answer other than this, for Gods sake would it not be better to write of the he lot and begin again than to plunge the world in to darkness,this time perhaps forever.
