After dealing with the equality of men and the difference of cultures, and then reminding us that we distrust people we do not know, the author discusses four aspects of the Middle East: the colonial creation of states; the need for people to hide their leaders; the sense of time; and the political use of religion.

When it comes to international relations, many things are obvious and need not be said. However, they get better when they are made explicit. In this first part, the author deals with the feeling of superiority that we all have and our unconscious prejudices about the meanness of our interlocutors. In the next episode, he will deal with the specificities of the Middle East.
Discussion with Thierry Meyssan
The Transformation of Societies on the Occasion of Covid-19 Heralds the Militarisation of Europeby
Thierry Meyssan

We reproduce a discussion between Thierry Meyssan and a group of students. He explains that the political responses to Covid-19 have no medical purpose. A partially identifiable transnational group seized the opportunity provided by the epidemic to try to impose a profound transformation of European societies, just as it had used the attacks of 11 September 2001 to transform the United States. There is still time to oppose the hierarchisation of the world to come.

France is this strange country that never stopped collaborating with various invaders before revolting with honour; a country that was at first cowardly, then always brave. Without thinking about it, as usual, she has just abandoned the motto of her ancestors, which she will no doubt soon regain with glory.

While the public’s eyes are riveted on the progression of coronavirus numbers, a profound reorganization of the executive is taking place, giving primacy to senior health officials over policy. In the shadows, bankers and soldiers are agitating in the hope of confiscating power for their own benefit.

At the end of the Second World War, the Nazis massacred European Jews and Gypsies. Today’s interpretation of one of these genocides is based on a lack of knowledge of the human condition and carries with it many passions, which, far from avoiding its repetition, on the contrary favour it.

In 48 countries simultaneously, there are very large demonstrations challenging the political regime of the state. The supremacy of the democratic model, accepted by almost everyone at the end of the 20th century, is now being called into question. For Thierry Meyssan, no constitutional system will solve today’s problems, which are primarily the consequence of values and behaviour.

Contrary to popular belief, the multilateralism promoted by Europeans is not opposed to the bilateralism practiced today by the United States, but to international law. The "Paris Peace Forum", organised by President Emmanuel Macron, did not identify any method to prevent conflicts, just to try to save what remains of four centuries of European hegemony.

The European Foreign Affairs Council met in Brussels on 9 December 2019 to decide on its policy in the Arctic.
Unashamedly, the Council stated that it "recognises the primary responsibility of the Arctic States for the development of the Arctic but also considers that many of the issues affecting the region are of a global nature and are more effectively addressed through regional or multilateral cooperation in particular the Arctic Council and including via the UN system" (sic).

The six major world powers approach the reorganization of international relations according to their experiences and dreams. Prudently, they intend to defend their interests first before promoting their vision of the world. Thierry Meyssan describes their respective positions before the fight begins.

Two policies are being pursued at the global level. The first aims to defend the future of humanity by putting an end to the main current cause of wars: access to fossil energy sources. The second aims to defend the planet by limiting CO2 production, mainly due to the use of fossil fuels. These two policies contradict each other. It is important to choose your priority.

Former French president, Francois Hollande, is the first Western leader to acknowledge the defeat of the old world. In an interview with AFP, he stated:
"What took place in this, perhaps final, stage of the Syrian conflict? The victory of all those whom we did not want to see win: the regime of Bashar al-Assad, Turkey who, in reality, wants to track down the Kurds, who are our allies, and Vladimir Putin, who is the peace maker and whose soldiers came, at the same time as the Iranians, to (...)

Thierry Meyssan underlines the extreme gravity, not of the US withdrawal from Syria, but of the collapse of the world’s current landmarks. According to him, we are entering a short transition period, during which the current masters of the game, the "financial capitalists" - and those he refers to here have nothing to do with either original capitalism or the original bank - will be rejected in favour of the rules of law laid down by Russia in 1899.
