[fin du programme]
La question de l’énergie, indissociable d’ailleurs de la géopolitique du Moyen-Orient, a donc occupé une place de choix. A remarquer également la participation directe des pouvoirs politique, administratif et financier. L’ONG qu’est la Trilatérale est donc devenue, de fait, une institution quasi-officielle.
Les trois rapports intéressant le nucléaire planétaire présentés à la réunion de la Trilatérale de mars dernier (pas mai, j’ai fait une coquille) à Bruxelles sont toujours accessibles à cette adresse :
Borloo, Sarkozy, Gore et toute la bande se fichent éperdument de l’écologie. On en parle à présent pour s’en servir comme alibi pour deux entreprises :
a) Le massacre à la tronçonneuse de nos standards sociaux : la première mesure écologique serait de garantir le plein emploi et, pour chaque famille, des emplois proches de son domicile. Avec l’intérim, la précarité et la dispersion géographique des emplois, les dépenses en énergie sont inévitables et quelques tramways de plus ne changeront rien au saisissant tableau de la société « flexible ».
b) La domination de la planète par l’axe « grande Europe » - Etats Unis. C’est précisément un ancien directeur de la CIA sous la présidence US Clinton - Gore, l’acien directeur de la CIA John Deutch, qui, à la réunion de la Commission Trilatérale de mai dernier, à préconisé le nucléaire planétaire assorti d’un contrôle des régimes politiques de tous les pays.
Le premier de ces articles évoque notamment cet extrait du rapport de John Deutch :
« I have discussed four energy security issues. Here are summary conclusions about what should be done about each. (1) To mitigate the effects of oil and gas important dependence we must begin the process of a transition away from a petroleum based economy and recognize the inevitable dependence on petroleum until that transition is accomplished ; (2) To reduce the growing vulnerability of the energy infrastructure calls for greater cooperation for Trilateral countries and others involved in international energy markets ; (3) Both developed and developing economies need to curb CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions to avoid the adverse consequences of climate change or face the prospect of active engineering of the globe’s climate ; (3) the need for encouraging expanded use of nuclear power means that new measures must be adopted to reduce the increase in proliferation risk that would result from the spread of dangerous fuel cycle services : enrichment and reprocessing.
We justifiably should be concerned that the world is not making sufficient progress on these issues. One possibility is that the world will continue to muddle and make the inevitable adjustments. Another possibility is that a severe crisis will change the attitude of the public and its leaders about what needs to be done. I am uncomfortable with either of these possibilities because I believe each will involve much higher economic and social cost than is necessary. A much better option is to manage the significant social, technical, and economic aspects of the energy transitions the world will undergo. I hope that the Trilateral Commission, both as an organization and as individuals, will strive to make progress on these energy issues in the years ahead, appreciating that energy and security issues are not divisible, and I look forward to promising assessment at future meetings. »

Et si Sarkozy fait construire moins de centrales nucléaires en France, il en vendra davantage à l’étranger. C’est la délocalisation du nucléaire civil, sous le contrôle des puissances impérialistes.
Et en France, des gens qui se disent « écologistes » appellent déjà à soutenir le nouveau traité européen. Ils se moquent du monde.
Ne s’agirait-il pas, surtout, d’habituer les populations à subir des prélèvements génétiques à l’usage de plus en plus opaque ?
A terme, comme les Etats travaillent de plus en plus « la main dans la main » avec les multinationales et sous-traitent n’importe quoi, on risque de fournir à des entités privées l’accès incontrôlé à des banques de données génétiques sans précédent.
Dans une telle optique, le « geste » de Sarkozy - Hortefeux serait surtout le début d’une stratégie de conditionnement.
Ce qui paraît parfaitement dans la ligne d’une stratégie de domination du monde de la part des pouvoirs euro-US, lire par exemple :
De façon générale, les conflits « locaux » reflètent les intérêts des grandes puissances qui y interviennent indirectement. A fortiori, si le conflit met en jeu des Etats comme la Turquie, candidat à l’Union Européenne, l’Irak occupé par les Etats-Unis avec l’aide des puissances européennes, le « dissident nucléaire » qu’est l’Iran et qui se trouve directement menacé par les gendarmes occidentaux, etc...
C’est ce qui, à mon sens, manque à l’analyse présentée par cet article.
