OK, Eurasian primacy. That would be ideal. It's what France was struggling for at the end of the 19th century, before the Russo-Japanese war. (According to Wm. Tarpley, only one of centuries of calamities instigated by English divide-and-conquer intrigue)

The USA is hundreds of years behind culturally, intellectually and in general sensitivity, and just should not be running the show. You have here over a quarter billion people armed to the teeth - no, to the skies - and prone to believe nuclear war is a kind of video game, as long as it happens outside the US (or Israel). This could be argued, but what's scarier is a hard fact that's much less well known - we've been hijacked by a totalitarian terrorist clique. Google up Skull Bones Nazi Bush and let your hair stand on end.

Vive le vieux monde et la vieille Europe.
Und Hoch die Deutschen auch!

Europe is too shell-shocked, after centuries of black magic at the hands of the Anglo-American cabal, to "hanker" after a world role. It's a reluctant dragon, but it may be Europe's responsibility to take on the role for a while. Most countries of Asia, Africa, South America and Eastern Europe are still playing vassal to the Americans, out of weakness. While the Muslim world has a strong faith - the only one around stronger than Western materialism - it is divided on political and sectarian lines, and isolated militarily.

It may be like spring time, or like the Last Days. The old order and the so-called new world order are equally obsolete. IMO what Europe has done, to outgrow nationalism, and to find balanced, if imperfect compromises between the extremes of corporate interests vs. the social welfare state, the free market vs. ecology, may not be as exciting as a space shuttle, but it's the closest thing we have to the wave of the future. For now.

Concerning the plagiarism cover-up, it is done in the usual cunning way of hiding half the truth. The mainstream media have always pulled the teeth from the horse's mouth, posted at wsn from the original by Michael Pugliese, http://www.sovereignty.org.uk/siteinfo/newsround/iraq.html .

Who is it that wants to go back to some form of European primacy? European primacy? Of it one may say with Marx 'De te fabula narratur'! There is one qualification that I want to add here, and it is an important one. The multitudes in Europe are heroic! I listened last night to the radio where I am told that the majority of those who live in Spain have heavily criticised the Spanish state's support for the war on Iraq. The qualification needs to be understood in the context of the modes of representation that are at work to manufacture thoughts for those who do not want to think. The State does not represent the people despite its claim to do so. In this short statement resides all the power of the protests that continue to shake Europe as well as the US, as well as many Third World states. In a strange sense this is perhaps the spring time of the peoples. It is nothing short of a revolution that is going on before our eyes and we need to connect with that instead of thinking in terms of an obsolete attachment to states and the state-bureaucrats who constantly put themselves in the limelight. This revolution has nothing to do with European primacy or with all those who hanker after European primacy. Ganesh.
