NATO-Linked Think Tanks In Control of Europe's Refugee Policy
By F. William Engdahl
A
flood of uncontrolled war refugees from Syria, Libya, Tunisia and other
Islamic countries destabilized by Washington’s ‘Arab Spring’ Color
Revolutions, has created the greatest social dislocation across the EU
from Germany to Sweden to Croatia since the end of World War II. By now
it has become clear to most that something quite sinister is afoot,
something which threatens to destroy the social fabric of the very core
of European civilization. What few realize is that the entire drama is
being orchestrated, not by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, or by
faceless EU bureaucrats of the Brussels EU Commission. It is being
orchestrated by a cabal of NATO-linked think tanks.
Last
October 8, 2015 amid the great stream of hundreds of thousands of
refugees flooding into Germany from Syria, Tunisia, Libya and other
lands, a newly self-confident German Chancellor Angela Merkel proclaimed
on a popular German TV program, “I have a plan.” She took the occasion
to take a sharp dig at coalition partner, Bavarian CSU head, Horst
Seehofer, a stauch critic of Merkel’s open arms refugee position since
spring 2015 that saw more than one million refugees enter Germany last
year alone.
Since
that point, with iron-hard resolve, the German Chancellor has defended
the criminal Erdogan regime in Turkey, an essential partner in her
“plan.”
Most of the world has looked on with astonishment as
she ignored principles of free speech and decided to prosecute publicly a
well-known German TV comedian, Jan Böhmermann, for his satirical
remarks about the Turkish President. They were astonished as the symbol
of European democracy, the German Chancellor, chose to ignore Erdogan’s
imprisonment of opposition journalists ands his shutting of Turk
opposition media as he proceeded with plans to establish a de facto
dictatorship rule within Turkey. They were puzzled as Berlin’s
government chose to ignore overwhelming proof that Erdogan and his
family were materially aiding and abetting ISIS terrorists within Syria
who were in fact creating the war refugee crisis. They were astonished
to see her push through an EU committment to give Erdogan’s regime
billions of euros to supposedly deal with the refugee flow from Turkish
refugee camps across the border into EU neighbor land, Greece and
beyond.
The Merkel Plan
All of
those seemingly inexplicable actions from the once-pragmatic German
leader appear to go back to her embrace of a 14-page document prepared
by a network of pro-NATO think-tanks, brazenly titled “The Merkel Plan.”
What
the newly-self-confident German Chancellor did not tell her hostess,
Anne Will, or her viewers was that “her” plan was given to her just four
days earlier, on October 4,
in a document already titled The Merkel Plan, by a newly-created and
obviously well-financed international think-tank called the European
Stability Initiative or ESI. The ESI website showed that it had offices in Berlin, Brussels and in Istanbul, Turkey
Suspiciously,
the authors of the ESI plan titled their plan as if it had come from
the German Chancellor’s office and not from them. More suspicious is the
contents of The Merkel Plan of ESI. In addition to already taking more
than one million refugees in 2015, Germany should “agree to grant asylum
to 500,000 Syrian refugees registered in Turkey over the coming 12
months.” In addition, “Germany should accept claims from Turkey…and
provide safe transport to successful applicants…already registered with
the Turkish authorities…” And finally, “Germany should agree to help
Turkey obtain visa-free travel in
2016.”
That
so-called Merkel Plan was a product of US and NATO-linked think tanks
and of governments of NATO member countries or prospective members. The
maxim “follow the money trail” is instructive in this case to see who
really runs the EU today.
The ESI
The
ESI came out of NATO-led efforts to transform South East Europe
following the US-instigated war in Yugoslavia during the 1990’s that
resulted in the Balkanization of the country and establishment of a
major USA and NATO airbase, Camp Bond Steel in Kosovo.
Current
ESI Chairman directly responsible for the final Merkel Plan document is
Istanbul-based Austrian sociologist, Gerald Knaus. Knaus is also a
member of the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), and an Open
Society Fellow.
Founded in London in 2007, the ECFR is an
imitation of the influential New York Council on Foreign Relations, the
think-tank created by the Rockefeller and JP Morgan bankers during the
1919 Versailles peace talks to coordinate an Anglo-American global
foreign policy. Significantly, the creator and moneybags for the ECFR is
American multi-billionaire and Color Revolution funder, George Soros.
In virtually every US State Department-backed Color Revolution since the
collapse of the Soviet Union, including in Serbia in 2000, in Ukraine,
in Georgia, in China, in Brazil and in Russia, George Soros and
offshoots of his Open Society Foundations have been in the shadows
financing “democracy” NGOs and activists to install pro-Washington and
pro-NATO regimes.
The select members, called Council Members
or associates, of the London-based ECFR include ECFR co-chairman Joschka
Fischer, former German Green Party Foreign Minister who arm-twisted his
party into backing Bill Clinton’s illegal 1999 bombing of Serbia
without UN Security Council backing.
Other members of the
Council of Soros’ European Council on Foreign Relations think tank
include former NATO Secretary General, Xavier Solana. It includes
disgraced plaigarist and former German Defense Minister, Karl-Theodor zu
Guttenberg; Annette Heuser, Executive Director Bertelsmann Stiftung in
Washington DC; Wolfgang Ischinger, Chairman, Munich Security Conference;
Cem Özdemir, chairman, Bündnis90/Die Grünen; Alexander Graf Lambsdorff,
German Liberal Party (FDP) MP; Michael Stürmer, Chief Correspondent,
Die Welt; Andre Wilkens, Director of Mercator Foundation; pederasty
defender, Daniel Cohn-Bendit of the European Parliament. Cohn-Bendit,
known as “Danny the Red” during the May, 1968 French student riots, was a
member of the the autonomist group Revolutionärer Kampf (Revolutionary
Struggle) in Rüsselsheim, Germany along with his close ally, now ECFR
chairman, Joschka Fischer. The two went on to found the “realo” wing of
the German Greens.
The
Open Society Foundations is the network of tax-exempt
“democracy-promoting” foundations created by George Soros on the
collapse of the Soviet Union to promote “free market” pro-IMF market
liberalization of former communist economies that opened the doors for
the systematic plundering of invaluable mining and energy assets of
those countries. Soros was a major financier of the liberal economic
team of Boris Yeltsin including Harvard “Shock Therapy” economist,
Jeffrey Sachs, and Yeltsin liberal adviser,Yegor Gaidar.
Already
it becomes clear that the “Merkel Plan” is the Soros Plan in fact. But
there is more if we wish to understand the darker agenda behind the
plan.
The ESI Funders
The European
Stability Initiative think-tank of Soros-tied Gerald Knaus is financed
by an impressive list of donors. Their website lists them.
The
list includes, in addition to Soros’ Open Society Foundations, the
Soros-tied German Stiftung Mercator, and the Robert Bosch Stiftung. ESI
funders also include European Commission. Then, curiously enough the
funder list for The Merkel Plan includes an organization with the
Orwellian name, The United States Institute of Peace.
Some
research reveals that the United States Institute of Peace has anything
but a peace-loving background. The United States Institute of Peace is
chaired by Stephen Hadley, former US National Security Council adviser
during the neo-conservative war-waging Bush-Cheney administration. Its
Board of Directors includes Ashton B. Carter, current Obama
Administration neo-conservative hawkish Secretary of Defense; Secretary
of State John Kerry; Major General Frederick M. Padilla, President of
the US National Defense University. These are some very seasoned
architects of the US Pentagon Full Spectrum Dominance strategy for
world military domination.
The
“Merkel Plan” authors at the European Stability Initative, in addition
to the largesse of George Soros’ foundations, list as “core” funder, the
German Marshall Fund of the United States. As I describe in my book,
The Think Tanks, the German Marshall Fund is anything but German. With
its seat in Washington, as I noted in the book, “It’s an American think
tank with its headquarters in Washington, D.C. In point of fact, its
agenda is the deconstruction of postwar Germany and more broadly of the
sovereign states of the EU to fit them better into the Wall Street
globalization agenda.”
The German Marshall Fund of Washington
has been involved in the post-1990 USA agenda of regime change around
the world in league with the US-funded National Endowment for Democracy,
Soros Foundations, and the CIA front called USAID. As I describe it in
the think tanks book, “The major focus of the German Marshall Fund
according to its 2013 Annual Report was to support the US State
Department agenda for so-called democracy-building operations in former
communist countries in eastern and south-eastern Europe, from the
Balkans to the Black Sea. Significantly their work included Ukraine. In
most instances, they worked together with the USAID, widely identified
as a CIA front with ties to the State Department, and the Stewart Mott
Foundation which gives funds to the US Government-funded National
Endowment for Democracy.”
Notably, the same Stewart Mott Foundation is also a funder of the ESI-authored Merkel Plan, as is the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.
This
all should give pause for reflection as to who and for what goals the
Merkel-Erdogan deal for dealing with the EU refugee crisis is intended.
Does the Rockefeller-Bush-Clinton faction in the United States intend to
use it as a major social engineering experiment to create chaos and
social conflict across the EU at the same time their NGOs such as the
NED, Freedom House and the Soros Foundations are stirring things up in
Syria and Libya and across the Islamic world? Is Germany, as former US
presidential adviser and Rockefeller crony, Zbigniew Brzezinski called
her, a “vassal” of US power in the post-1990 world? To date the evidence
is pretty strong that that’s the case. The role of US and NATO-linked
think tanks is central to get an understanding of how the Federal
Republic of Germany and the European Union are actually controlled from
behind the Atlantic curtain.
Our thanks to R. Theobald in the UK for this eye-opener. At the
time this was written, I assume the Poles had not marched in favor of
the EU because this march was conspicuously missing from Engdahl's list
of foreign interference by democracy-destroying NGOs
After reading that news of the Polish march, I immediately did a search with the search terms
soros foundation poland
and
discovered an article stating that Soros had a foundation in Poland
called the Stefan Batory Foundation. I just now found another article
that mentions this foundation on page 3 top left column. It is a must
read article with must have info, here: http://www.larouchepub.
This
march in Poland was definitely instigated by the Batory Foundation,
which should have been banned by the new government to prevent this
illegal foreign interference from the man who would rule the world.
Thank God Russia has already banned all Soros foundations and foreign
NGOs aimed at overthrowing governments.
Engdahl's article
below is the first step in freeing the world of the NATO-instigated
interference with national sovereignties everywhere.
NATO has
proven its willingness to overthrow any government that refuses to take
orders from Washington and will stop at nothing, even deliberately
bombing civilians, as I showed here:
and deliberately destroying Christianity, as per here
promoting terror:
sticking up for criminal Erdogan
