A tireless volunteer in furtherance of international understanding and peace
As German speakers among you may be well aware, over the past two years many of my articles published here have been reposted in German translation on the Swiss website seniora.org From there these articles have been further disseminated by German language websites in the Federal Republic of Germany.
The volunteer translator, Andreas Mylaeus, has become a close collaborator. We are in daily contact, forwarding materials that could be of interest to the other and discussing in particular where Germany is headed in these turbulent times.
Six weeks ago, just ahead of Christmas, Andreas made his first ever trip to Moscow which had a business side to it. He and a colleague from Switzerland gave an hour-long interview devoted to the factors determining German and European foreign and domestic policies. In particular they focused on the lack of sovereignty, on the colonial dependence on the United States which has shaped not just political orientation but also shaped the cadres of all the German political parties in a manner that makes it very difficult for the voting population to ‘throw the bums out,’ as we say in the USA and vote in statesmen who have the interests of their country at heart.
Here below are the links to this extraordinary interview. One is in German, the other in Russian. For those of you with a command of these languages, I urge you to take the time and have a listen
I greatly enjoyed the (German version of the) talk between the gentlemen and the lady (whose name is unknown to me), getting an insider's view of present-day Germany from someone born in the fifties was a rare treat. Also I would much appreciate to hear the second interview on Mylaeus's impressions of Russia that the lady interviewer more or less promised before Mylaeus returns to his country. I hope you will post that too.
