Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
US media provides little news of Europe. What is provided is strictly “narrated.” Consequently, Americans are unaware of what seems to be a spontaneous, leaderless, popular uprising against mandated lockdowns and masks. There are large demonstrations in Germany, and they have spread to Vienna and to Copenhagen. The people have more sense than the public authorities and reject the Covid mandates.
In The Netherlands, the Hague Court has ruled that the Covid curfew has no legal basis and “is a far-reaching violation of the right to freedom of movement and privacy and limits, among other things, the right to freedom of assembly and demonstration.” https://www.rt.com/news/515699-hague-court-dutch-covid-curfew/
Klaus Madersbacher, proprietor of the antikrieg.com website, thinks that Germans are associating the fear-based campaign that is asserting new government controls over people’s lives and activities with an American hegemonic agenda. He believes that it is a revolutionary mass movement that should now become organized under leadership in order to achieve the independence of countries and their peoples.
One wonders if insouciant Americans are capable of a revolutionary temperament or whether the only protests Americans will witness are the Establishment-funded Antifa and BLM riots that loot and burn private businesses.
Here is Madersbacher’s analysis of what he is witnessing:
A New Revolutionary mass movement
Klaus Madersbacher
QUERDENKEN is a revolutionary mass movement directed against the US-controlled German regime, similar in essence to the revolution of the Iranian people in 1978 against the US-run dictatorship of the Shah in Iran. It should be emphasized that the Iranian revolution was a peaceful revolution in the course of which the Iranian security forces refused to fight against their own people. The same type of revolutionary movement seems to be emerging in countries under the dominance of the United States of America.
Instead of serving their own people, European regimes serve the interests of Washington, which seems driven to obtain supremacy over the world for material reasons and also as a way out of the economic crisis in which it finds itself.
The theater with and around the coronavirus is staged with the explicit intention of distraction and of creating fear and a climate of general insecurity that leads to control measures that enable hegemonic power, perhaps resulting in a “global reset” that serves the interest of the few at the expense of the many. It is against these measures that the Germans and neighboring nations are rising up in an unprecedented and unforeseen readiness to defend themselves as a people and a society. I read the protests of the last several months as clear expressions that the German people are no longer willing to submit to puppet governments that fail to represent the interests of the people.
Germans and Europeans are used as support for Washington/NATO’s push against Russia and Asia, which is clearly against European interests. If spontaneous cooperation is achieved among European peoples, Washington’s aspirations are defeated, and representative governments will form in place of Washington’s puppet states.
Since the ruling European governments are neither willing nor able to represent the interests of their peoples, they have lost the confidence of the people and forfeited the right to remain in power. Constitutionally prescribed steps can be followed as far as possible to remove them from office.
First steps /measures
As a first step, a revolutionary council should be elected consisting of two or three members per federal state.
The revolutionary council will accept no guidance from the EU, Washington, or any agreements that limit the exercise of national sovereignty.
Existing governmental and financial institutions will continue in operation, but the revolutionary council will reestablish all civil liberties, such as freedom of movement, freedom of income, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and freedom of travel. The institutional structure of government will then be thoughtfully reconstructed to be consistent with human rights and national wellbeing.
The Covid control measures will be revoked.
The campaign of fear will be halted, and open public discussion by independent medical and scientific experts will be used to determine reasonable measures to protect the population from Covid.
Layoffs, terminations & repossessions resulting from Covid ordinances will be reversed.
Fines and penalties collected under Covid ordinances will be repaid, and court judgments against citizens under Covid ordinances will be reversed.
The Iranian Revolution against the Shah shows that revolutionary mass movements can be peaceful. To reconstruct the state to serve the people, a constitutional requirement is required that permits the passage of no law that cannot be proved in open discussion to serve the people over organized interests. To protect the people’s interest, schooling will be used to support the ethos that honor, not material interests or service to ambition, is the basis for government service.
These idealistic aims will never be fully achieved, but their conscious cultivation can preserve the freedom of European peoples.
UPDATE: Dutch appeals court rushes to the defense of tyranny and overrules Hague district court and reinstates illegal curfew. https://www.rt.com/news/515767-dutch-court-covid-curfew/

Until ‘they’ can wrestle power, and then the fist and jackboot ensure that the “peaceful” revolutionary mass movement endures.

The Iranian Revolution against the Shah shows that revolutionary mass movements can be peaceful.
To PCR:
An improvement, but you lost my attention with one simple word. Here’s a hint to correct it. It’s called a thesaurus.
You say we’re “insouciant”.
I say you’re “vainglorious”.
Do the the math buddy. You’re alienating the EXACT audience you’re trying to attract to the ideals.
(((They))) won’t stop until we say NO MORE.
We should be showing Europe, in the land of the free and home of the brave(WTF happened to that?) But no.
F**king sad lot.
The )))Holy Vicar of Christ(((?

Is a Revolutionary Movement Developing in Europe?
Uhh…. NO
Euro’s are the biggest pussies on Earth followed closely by the citizens of the good ol’ USA.
At least we have guns… so maybe someday we will have a temper tantrum and all be droned to death, but it was fun while it lasted.
PCR don’t hold your breath. Lefties are well known to get irate when their ox is gored but they don’t have any principles.
Hey?! We too have a revolutionary movement. The Three Percenters are snuggling in their warm, furry faux comforters. Thank goodness for NetFlix I’ve heard.

Larry Elder said he has been demonetized on YouTube.
Burn it down.
Except not even Washington serves American interests. It is a just a power base for the European based bankers who do control the politicians on both shores.
dont hold your breath for it. there’s rumbling, but europeans were disarmed a century ago, the stockholm syndrome runs even deeper over here, think of it as if all of europe were more or less like new york, california, new jersey… pussified, emasculated, stripped of their history and identity, all dumbed down to dependence on a centralized system
even worse there is no real independent local government in europe for a relocalization effort to begin with- in the states you really have sheriffs, judges, mayors, etc all elected locally , who are not beholden to state or federal commands (they are bribed and corrupted in a hundred ways but not directly in a hierarchy) . in most of europe, even say the mayor of a city, he has a salary from some central ministry, he has to follow central policy, and uptimately his decisions are only in the cosmetic shit that doesnt matter. likewise, a local police force is just a branch office of a police organization run by the center out of some ministry. . taxation is all in the center and maybe funds get sent back out from the center , never the other way around. the only exception is switzerland.
it might end up that all these third world animals that have been imported in recent years will save europe- their ghettos are already police no-go zones, the tax man certainly doesnt have up to date records of who or what is there, and they certainly dont pay any attention to proclamations about weapons not being allowed.
there’s a book titled ‘the art of not being governed’ which describes relationships between people and rulers on the southern fringes of chinese influence over the centuries. people would ‘go irish’ (or in this case ‘go burmese’ or something) or ‘go chinese’ depending on whether they wanted to be further or closer to power – the whole ethnic identity actually followed political resistance or obediance and people would change sides as it suited them. anyway theres a lot more to it, but there are other examples. the lightning fast conversion of asia minor from orthodox christianity to islam in the end of the 11th century is a great example. byzantium by the 1060s was horrifically corrupt, rotten, arrogant, and especially on the big estates in asia minor, small freeholders had been more and more forced into debt by crushing taxes and had to sell their land. by then they were being turned into serfs. a mere decade of civil war and anarchy after the manzikert disaster in 1071 allowed the sljuk turks to not only run rampant, but unlike so may other invasions or raids, a mass of the local population joined the invaders and threw off their chains. the change of religion was the ‘burning your ships’ move of rejecting the whole package.
it took a couple centuries for the seljuk burden of oppression to catch up to mid-11th century byzantine levels, so for those people at that time it was a win. byzantium never recovered.
