ANALYSIS INFORMATION FROM A EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVE
PETROFILM.COM
Founder and Editor-in-chief
THE UNITED STATES
DangeroU.S. Polarization!
"We believe that the United States might not be able to control it's internal emotions as a Nation (6.1.21) and therefore risk taking the wrong decitions in foreign politics. This dangerous polarization can have a catastrophic concequence for the people of the world. It happened i Vietnam, and it can happen again!"
NEVILLE AT CAPITOL HILL
One cannot solely put the blame only on little Trump. It was the American partitocracy that failed, Tom and Nancy, Chuck, and Mitch. Every one of them held up a piece of signed paper in their hands. But it was too late. The Capitol and trust in American law and order must be rebuilt from the inside out. Ore we might all go down in flames!
THE DESTRUCTIVE FORCE OF
THE AMERICAN PARTITOCRACY
How British domstic naivite shaped it's foreign politics in a disasterous way. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain came went and lost! Gravely misunderstanding his opponent’s nar-rative. Naively showing off a piece of paper which had the signatures of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini written on it. The people of Britain rejoiced little Adolf's signature. Surrounded by the masses Prime Minister Chamberlain, in all his British naivite, appeared indeed confident. But not for long!
A deal was reached on 29 September, and at about 1:30 a.m. on 30 September 1938, Adolf Hitler, Neville Chamberlain, Benito Mussolini and Édouard Daladier signed the Munich Agreement. On 30 September, upon his return to Britain, Chamberlain delivered his controversial "peace for our time" speech to crowds in London.
With a typical laid-back self-reassuring British flair, the parties had for years argued back and forth weather little Adolf on the other side of the secure Channel was worth taking seriously. And in the meantime, little Adolf released a few tricks himself, he had hidden upon his sleeves; a provocative gesture here, a threat there. Never mind that, the parties said, we have enough Port to ride off that. The dictatorship of the self-reassuring, democratic partitocracy was in swing! The very safety valve which Democracy was dependent on, failed to open. And as a result all Hell brought lose and thousand of Londoners perished in flames. Neville’s ghost!
He came, stayed and lost. Gravely misunderstanding his oppo-nents narrative, naively showing off his ball-cap with the inflammatory message, “Make America Great Again”. The masses rejoiced! On the Capitol Hill, Tom and Nancy, Chuck, and Mitch meant it well; with paper in hand each side proclaimed a moment of victory, futile as it was. Nine days after the Capitol was nearly burned down to the ground, these same representatives of the United States self-proclaimed, dysfunctional Democracy are still debating what to do with little Trump, who just might have another trick hidden upon his sleeves. We have no guarantee that he has not.
Capitol Hill, the very safety valve which the Democracy of the United States is dependent on has not opened. It imploded. Neville’s shadow again! The German-Swiss psychiatrist and philosopher Karl Jaspers once uttered, “If it has happened once, it can happen again. To forget it guilt.” The sieg of Capitol Hill confirmed that it did happen again!
In these desperate days, when we failed Democracy, we know for certain that it did happen again! One cannot solely put the blame only on little Trump. It was the American partitocracy that failed, Tom and Nancy, Chuck, and Mitch. Every one of them held up a piece of signed paper in their hands. But it was too late. The Capitol and trust in American law and order must be rebuilt from the inside out. Ore we might all go down in flames!
FASCISM IN AMERICA
Karl Jaspers:
"That which has happened is a Warning!"
"To forget it is guilt. It must be continually remembered. It was possible for this to happen. And it remains possible for it to happen again at any minute. Only in knowledge can it be prevented."
Karl Theodor Jaspers German, Born 23 February 1883, passed away on 26 February 1969, was a German-Swiss psychiatrist and philo-sopher who had a strong influence on modern theology psychiatry, and philosophy. After being trained in and practicing psychiatry, Jaspers turned to philosophical inquiry and attempted to discover an innovative philosophical system. He was often viewed as a major exponent of existentialism in Germany, though he did not accept the label.
The Editor-in-chief
The outcome of the first American civil war fought from 1861 to 1865 decided who should be included in the winners club and steer the new nation into the future.
The second American civil war, which is fought in our own time by stealth, is deciding who shall not be included in the winners club. It is against these two contradictory scenarios that many of the violent political deaths that has occurred in the United States speak more clearly to us, stand out in a way we have not realized before and warn us.
We have become aware of the violent culture underpinning American politics of today, even though such incidents are usually not acknowledged or reported, but often repressed and denied.
