This is indeed a war and as we have seen in Libya the centralised command over military, terrorist, intelligence, media and political players across the spectrum makes many things possible, even the entry of a ragbag army into Tripoli. The author is absolutely correct to point out the Anglo-Americans’ ability to continually seize the initiative even using the most outrageous methods such as the deployment of rating agencies which should have been behind bars years ago. Still, from the Clausewitz point of view, they can, I think, be criticized for doing too much: they are throwing everything at Europe and people are beginning to notice it’s war. If you conspire enough against people they will become conspiracy theorists. The whole world has to learn this simple lesson: the only way to be at peace with the Washington/London axis is to prepare for war. Europe have a simple devastating weapon which they can unleash against Wall street/City of London; the Eurobond, backed by the world’s emerging economies.
