The EU is based on the Nazi plans published in Berlin in 1942 " The Eu was founded and initially led by "former" Nazis and fascists, as was the Charlemagne prize awarded to TONY BLAIR, EDWARD HEATH, ROY JENKINS and others for their role in removing democratic sovereignty from the nation states of Europe"
First, Lord James of Blackheath speaks to the House of Lords holding evidence of three transactions of 5 Trillion each and a transaction of 750,000 metric tonnes of gold and has called for an investigation.
Lord James of Blackheath talks about Foundation X, a foundation that has enough funds to bail out the entire world. More money than the Federal Reserve, IMF and Bank of England put together?

Now deceased Christopher Story and the EU Corruption
German appeals for European "reorganization" have gradually increased since its post-war economic rebirth, and the reunification of Germany. Germany has most assuredly emerged from its well deserved subservient role.
However, not without a great deal of assistance from not only the Marshall Plan, but the 750 corporations set up in neutral countries, primed as vehicles to receive the wealth of Germany in addition to patents and other proprietary industrial information by none other than Reichsleiter Martin Bormann . The "world's most important accumulation of money power under one control in history". The Bormann economic and political network survives and thrives today. Germany has even replaced the USA as the dominant player in the post-WWII global economy.
It was through the the Marshall Plan and the avoidance of reparations in the London Debt Agreement of 1952, that Germany rapidly became the leading economic power in Europe. Former plans for a European large-area economy without trade barriers under German leadership were pursued through the establishment of and participation in the European Economic Community (EEC), later the European Community (EC) and the European Union (EU). As early as the1950s the German economy already supplanted the American and West-European competition in the eastern and south-eastern European states. The Hallstein-Doctrine notwithstanding, Germany became the foremost trading power in eastern and south-eastern Europe after the Soviet Union. Credit agreements and an imbalance in the terms of trade were used to drive eastern and south-eastern European states into debt and long-term dependence.
Despite Germany's history, pleas from Spain and Italy for urgent financial aid from the eurozone to bring down borrowing costs were dismissed by Angela Merkel
“Imagine for a moment that two decades ago, a newly unified Germany set out to take over the European Continent, as the previous unified Germany had tried and failed to do half a century earlier. This time it would use money, not guns, to accomplish the goal. . . ” (“As Europe’s Currency Union Frays, Conspiracy Theories Fly” by Floyd Norris; The New York Times; 06/15/2011.)Austria's central bank head has issued a severe warning about too much austerity, amid the eurozone's debt crisis. He said such an approach contributed to the rise of Nazism in the 1930s.
"The single-minded concentration on austerity policy (in the 1920s and 3Os) led to mass unemployment, a breakdown of democratic systems and, at the end, to the catastrophe of Nazism," Ewald Nowotny said in comments confirmed by his office on Wednesday.Moreover, it's Germany, in particular, which is promoting such painful spending cuts as the principle way to end the bloc's sovereign debt crisis.

"We fear that the German government’s policy of doing ‘too little too late’ risks a repeat of precisely the crisis of the mid-20th century that European integration was designed to avoid.
"We find it extraordinary that it should be Germany, of all countries, that is failing to learn from history. Fixated on the nonthreat of inflation, today’s Germans appear to attach more importance to 1923 (the year of hyperinflation) than to 1933 (the year democracy died). They would do well to remember how a European banking crisis two years before 1933 contributed directly to the breakdown of democracy not just in their own country but right across the European continent….
"But now the public is finally losing faith and the silent run may spread to smaller insured deposits. Indeed, if Greece were to leave the eurozone, a deposit freeze would occur and euro deposits would be converted into new drachmas: so a euro in a Greek bank really is not equivalent to a euro in a German bank. Greeks have withdrawn more than€700m from their banks in the past month.
"More worryingly, there was also a surge in withdrawals from some Spanish banks last month. The government’s bungled bailout of Bankia has only heightened public anxiety. On a recent visit to Barcelona, one of us was repeatedly asked if it was safe to leave money in a Spanish bank. This kind of process is potentially explosive….
"Until recently, the German position has been relentlessly negative on all such proposals. We understand German concerns about moral hazard. Putting German taxpayers’ money on the line will be hard to justify if meaningful reforms do not materialise on the periphery. But such reforms are bound to take time. Structural reform of the German labour market was hardly an overnight success. By contrast, the European banking crisis is a real hazard that could escalate in days.
"Germans must understand that bank recapitalisation, European deposit insurance and debt mutualisation are not optional; they are essential to avoid an irreversible disintegration of Europe’s monetary union. If they are still not convinced, they must understand that the costs of a eurozone breakup would be astronomically high – for themselves as much as anyone.
"After all, Germany’s prosperity is in large measure a consequence of monetary union. The euro has given German exporters a far more competitive exchange rate than the old Deutschmark would have. And the rest of the eurozone remains the destination for 42 percent of German exports. Plunging half of that market into a new Depression can hardly be good for Germany.
"Ultimately, as Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, herself acknowledged last week, monetary union always implied further integration into a fiscal and political union. But before Europe gets anywhere near taking this historical step, it must first of all show it has learnt the lessons of the past. The EU was created to avoid repeating the disasters of the 1930s. It is time Europe’s leaders – and especially Germany’s – understood how perilously close they are to doing just that."
A historical view of how the height of people in different countries at different times in history can give us an overall picture of health.
Even though America is still a wealthy country, the growing disparity between rich and poor, and the lack of health care insurance is affecting our population's ability to care for the health of all of it's citizens.
The average height of Americans has not increased for the last few decades, as it has in most other industrialized countries.

Americans used to stand tall as the people with the highest average height in the world. However, since the middle of this century, several Scandinavian countries have moved ahead and now have taller citizens on average than the United States.
America's drop from the top is important for more than just bragging rights, said Richard Steckel, a professor of economics and anthropology at Ohio State University.
Average stature is an important indicator of a country's health care, nutrition and standard of living, said Steckel, who since 1975 has studied the height of people around the world.
"One of the keys to understanding why America is falling behind other countries in terms of stature has to do with access to health care, particularly for children," he said.
"I suspect there are pockets of poverty in the United States where the lack of medical programs and nutritional programs may be factors in poor health, and the reason some people aren't
growing as tall as they might."
In studies by various researchers of men born about 1950, the Norwegians and Dutch are the tallest in the world, with an average height of 178 centimeters(about 5 feet 10 inches), followed by Swedes at 177 centimeters. Americans are next at 175 centimeters (about 5 feet 9 inches).
Preliminary government research suggests that not much has changed recently, according to Steckel. "The average height of Americans has been pretty much stagnant for 25 years," he said.
But American men born in 1850 were tallest in the world, averaging 171 centimeters, compared to 169 centimeters for Norwegians, 168 for Swedes and 164 for the Dutch.
"I think the countries that have surpassed the United States have done well in reaching nearly everyone with complete health and nutrition services," said Steckel. "The success of the Scandinavian countries in health care shows up in many measures, not just height, such as mortality rates and life expectancy."
Immigration to the United States by people with shorter average heights -- such as Asians -- can't explain why other countries have moved ahead in average stature, according to Steckel. "In the past half century, the change in ethnic composition hasn't been enough to make a significant difference in the country's average height."
And while genes play an important role in determining how tall individual people grow, that doesn't negate the results of this international research. "Overall, genetic differences cancel each other out when you compare averages across most populations. So, in general, average height is accurate in assessing a nation's health status," Steckel said.
Steckel said he first began investigating stature as an alternative way to measure the standard of living -- a traditional area of research for economists.
Most economists have used measures of national income, such as Gross National Product, to examine living standards.
Research has shown that average height is significantly associated with a country's per capita income. But studying height has some advantages, Steckel said. For example, researchers have records of average height that go further back in history than do records of national income. Height also tells a slightly different story about the standard of living because it measures consumption of basic necessities, rather than output. Moreover, because growth occurs mostly in childhood, it allows researchers to look at how resources are allocated within families.
"Studying height captures some things about the standard of living that income leaves out," Steckel said. "Economists need to take a multiple approach to studying the standard of living."
Steckel summarized research by himself and others on stature and standard of living in a recent issue of the Journal of Economic Literature.
"Shapiro says that the sheer number of camps may end one of the lingering protestations surrounding the Holocaust -- that ordinary people knew nothing of the killing underway in their locales. "In most towns, there was some sort of prison, or holding area or place where people were victimized," Shapiro says. "Think about what this means. For anyone who thinks this took place out of sight of the average person, this shatters that mythology. There was one Auschwitz. There was one Treblinka. But there were 20,000 other camps spread through the rest of Europe."
