European Geo-Political Master Plans


An analysis by
Dr. Kwame Nantambu

Within recent times, people in both public and private sectors seem to be 
obsessed with the much bandied about European geo-political code-word that 
is known as globalisation.

At face value, this concept may fascinate the historian but to this writer 
this concept is par for the course when it comes to the vital issue of 
maintaining, perpetuating and strengthening European global supremacy and 
control.

Globalisation is just a 21st century millennium code word to camouflage the 
aforementioned. Europeans have been playing these global con-games for the 
past five hundred years. Indeed, this is their white powder to glorify and 
ossify the European global status quo. Nothing more; nothing less.

While some Trinis have publicly fallen pray to this European sour cheese rat 
trap, this article seeks to free them from this dilemma.

The fact of the matter is that this global code-word concept is nothing new.

History absolves this writer in this regard.

Let us recall that in June 1494, the European Christian Pope Alexander VI, 
in an attempt to prevent a European global war between Spain and Portugal, 
drew and imaginary line across the globe whereby he decreed that all lands 
discovered to the west of this line belonged to Spain and all lands to the 
east belonged to Portugal. This Treaty of Tordesillas therefore established 
this 15th century European new world order with the blessing and 
legitimisation of the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church.

Let us also recall that it was on 8 January 1455 that Pope Nicholas V 
authorised the Euro-Portuguese to subject to servitude all infidel peoples. 
This resulted in the Afrikan Holocaust or MAAFA during which over one 
hundred million human beings were annihilated in the greatest single crime 
in the world committed against a people on this planet earth.

These European powers conducted the enslavement of Afrikan people through 
their civilising mission or new world order through Christianity together 
with the genocidal decimation of Afrikan peoples.

The French also had their European colonial geo-political slogan or 
master-plan called la mission civilisatrice; the Euro-British labelled 
theirs the white man's burden and manifest destiny. In 1655, Britain had 
their new world order under the geopolitical code-word of Oliver Cromwell's 
Great Western Design. Under Euro-British colonialism, countries and peoples 
in Afrika and the Caribbean remained under British imperial yoke until the 
1950's and 1960's.

In the 1850's, the Euro-French championed liberty, justice and fraternity as 
their new world order.

However, between November 1884 and February 1885, there was a collusive 
European new world order called the Berlin Conference or the scramble or 
partitioning of Afrika. The European powers that participated in this new 
world order conference were Britain, France, Portugal, Italy, Spain, 
Germany, Belgium and the United States as a most interested observer.

Today, when these same European powers meet, their new world order 
conferences are called Summit Meetings with Canada, Japan and Russia as the 
new kids on the Eurocentric global block. In the 19th century, these powers 
met to divide up and control peoples, countries and resources, in the 20th 
century, they met as a group of industrial democracies to coordinate 
economic policies in order to control the functioning of the European 
dominated capitalist system and the perpetuation and maintenance of western 
democratic principles and Euro-American socio-cultural values.

In the 1920's, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson's new world order sought to 
make the world safe for democracy a la Pax Americana. This global policy 
sowed the seeds for America's post WWII global, imperial dominance.

On 14 August 1940, there was a second collusive European new world order 
under the geopolitical sobriquet of the Atlantic Charter signed by President 
Franklin Roosevelt of the United States and Prime Minister Winston Churchill 
of England. The Charter states that these two European powers not only 
respect the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under 
which they will live but also wish to see sovereign rights and 
self-government restored to those who had been forcibly deprived of them. 
Now, people of Afrikan descent in the Caribbean and Afrika mistakenly or 
naively assumed consistent with their xenophilia mind-set that these 
European powers had promised them freedom and the right to self-government. 
But, Sir. Winston Churchill clarified any Afrikan mis-conception in a speech 
in the House of Commons as follows:

... At the Atlantic meeting, we had in mind, primarily, the restoration of 
the sovereignty (and) self-government. . .of the States and nations (and 
peoples) of Europe now under Nazi yoke. . .so that this is quite a separate 
problem from the progressive evolution of self-government institutions in 
the regions and nations and peoples (of Afrika and the Caribbean). . .

In the 1930's, Adolph Hitler also had his own geo-political code-word under 
the Third Reich whereby he sought to create an Aryan race. This resulted in 
the Jewish Holocaust during which six to eight million human beings were 
annihilated.

In need occasion no great surprise, therefore, that in August 1990 then U.S. 
President George Bush announced Euro-America's new world order fifty years 
after the infamous Atlantic Charter. Following in the geopolitical racist 
tradition of the 1940 Atlantic Charter, Afrikan people were summarily 
excluded by the principles/charter of President Bush's Euro-America's new 
world order.

They are expendable and invisible within the arena of European geopolitics 
and nationalist survival. In his enunciation of Euro-America's new world 
order, President Bush articulated that the time has come to forge a new, 
warm non-iron-curtain-clad relations between the United States and Russia so 
as to move beyond containment and thus seek the integration of the Soviet 
Union into the community of nations and to help them share the reward of 
international cooperation. In President Bush's own words:

Our doctrine need no longer be containing a military aggressive Soviet 
Union. It means a united Europe. It means a Europe (whole and free) without 
as many artificial boundaries. America is a European nation. President Bush 
was joined in this Eurocentric geopolitical collusive new world order by 
then British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher who called for a new Magna 
Charta that would establish basic rights for all Europeans, including the 
Soviets and reiterated that Europeans must take care of Europeans, while the 
current Prime Minister of Britain, John Major, has stated publicly that we 
are a European nation.

However, this European geopolitical new world order cycle was finally 
completed when in the third historical collusive tradition of the 15th 
century Popes of the Roman Catholic Church, the current Pope John Paul II 
called for the creation of a common united European Christian Home and urged 
his fellow Europeans to be of one heart and one mind a la Euro-American 
President Bush's geopolitical master-plan/strategy.

And in 1992, Europeans announced their geo-political master-plan of Europe 
1992" or Fortress Europe 1992" in order to celebrate 500 years of European 
nationalism that started in 1492. This is global power at its zenith.

This litany therefore shows that this new millennium concept of 
globalisation is nothing new. The only thing that may be new is that the 
United States as the last, sole, surviving European global power is in the 
driver's seat to effectuate this current European geo-political master-plan 
for global control and dominance.

Another new element is that the United States has replaced all of the 
previous European powers who all had their own European geo-political 
code-word or master-plan. The United States was not at the beginning of 
European global supremacy in the 15th century; it is now the only European 
global power at the end in the 21st century.

Under globalisation, Euro-America is Numero Uno. European supremacy is not a 
study in advance Rocket Science or Calculus. It is a study of power versus 
powerlessness. Thus the vital necessity for Afrikan-Trinis to celebrate 
Afrika Liberation Year in order to mount a potent challenge to the 
Euro-American supremacist code-word or master-plan for global control called 
globalisation in this new millennium.
