Phonecall from Phil about the New Year's Kölnische Domplatz Riots,

which, while we talked, I was, natürlich, researching on the Internet--finding much (like absence of clear pictures of Perpetrators) that indicates, if not False Flag, CIA/MOSSAD organization and execution of:  Very like the February 2014 riots in Kiev.  Odd indeed, nay suspicious as bloody hell, the targeting of female, tourist, middle class victims; while incredible/beyond uncanny the concealment of "North African" malefactors.   I watched the videos over and over, astonished at how little they revealed; dead certain at the end that I had been watching the CIA in action, apparently trying to drive middle-class Germans  back into the US "anti-terrorist" fold.  Which would also mostly explain why these "outrages," which seem so much like parlor theatrics in Europe, are cooly barely noticed in the American media.  WTF?

But, as I woke this morning, a much larger picture began to unfold in my mind:  One knows, when one thinks about it, how utterly mistaken and wrong-headed was the Anglo/French World War I defeat of pro-active German/Austrian/Continental Democracy.
