Sign '💣' the Times – Charlemagne Prize 2023 for US-Installed War Puppet Zelensky
A Ukrainian vest pocket fascist was honored by Scholz, von der Leyen et al. for allowing his people to be slaughtered in a proxy war.
So they did it again. With great propagandistic fanfare, they have awarded the “international” Charlemagne Prize to yet another geopolitical puppet in the best tradition of his illustrious predecessors. One could not have found a better one this year than Zelensky to distract from the geopolitical contexts that led to the war in Ukraine with an effective combination of emotionalization and kitsch propaganda.
»Under the leadership of its President Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian people defend not only the sovereignty of their country and the lives of its citizens, but also Europe and European values.« –Charlemagne Prize Board of Directors; justification for the award
»The award of the Charlemagne Prize as a European civic award expresses our liberal societies’ profound admiration of the bravery and resolve of the Ukrainian people and its President.« –German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in his laudation in Aachen on May 14
Far too many brainwashed, indoctrinated Germans and their Western counterparts likely believe the above rubbish – the 24/7 propaganda constant sprinkling inevitably takes its toll. But there is much more to the Charlemagne Prize than meets the eye.
Historical, political and ideological background of the Charlemagne prize
The ‘International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen’ has been awarded since 1950 for “services to Europe and European unification.”
The eponym of the prize, “Karl der Große” (engl. Charlemagne; 747 - 814), was a Frankish king and from 800 the first Western European emperor. With numerous bloody wars, the ruler expanded his empire throughout Western Europe in the Middle Ages. This success earned Charlemagne the name “Father of Europe”.
The historical role of Charlemagne and the “unification” of a significant part of Europe into an “empire”, which he created by force, was used propagandistically accordingly by the Nazi regime. For example, Adolf Hitler regularly referred to Charlemagne as “one of the greatest figures in world history” because he had united the German tribes.
It may therefore hardly come as a surprise that the prize was initiated and founded by a Nazi, the Aachen textile entrepreneur Kurt Pfeiffer, who joined the NSDAP (the Nazi party) immediately after the Nazis came to power in 1933. According to U.S. intelligence officer Saul Kussiel Padover, who interrogated Pfeiffer after the liberation of Aachen at the end of 1944, Pfeiffer is also said to have been a member of five other Nazi organizations.
Another founding member of the Charlemagne Prize and of the Charlemagne Prize Board of Directors was Peter Mennicken, a philosophy professor from Aachen. He joined the National Socialist Teachers’ Association on September 1, 1933, the SA on November 1, 1933, and the NSDAP a little later. From 1939 onwards, in addition to his professorship, Mennicken also took over the management of the press office of the Nationalist German Association of Teachers. He also worked for the Nazi secret organization “Mittelstelle für Heimatschutz”, on whose behalf he was to organize the reorganization of university education in the occupied neighboring countries to the west.
Also among the founding members was Albert Servais, the then chief town director of Aachen. He is registered in a listing of the Security Service of the “Reichsführer SS”, Heinrich Himmler, as a member of the NSDAP.
From the very beginning, the Charlemagne Prize was intended as a propaganda tool directed against the Soviets in the incipient Cold War. The initiator, the former NSDAP member Pfeiffer, left no doubt about this orientation of the prize. In his appeal to the people of Aachen for the proclamation of the award on December 19, 1949, he declared:
“The growth of power in the East has grown to gigantic proportions and we do not know where the expansion will stop. The position of the Western powers is extremely weak. Therefore, the public must be made aware of its own responsibility in the struggle for destiny. It is about saving the occidental culture. The border city of Aachen has a special role to play in this. Aachen was once the intellectual and political center of the entire Western European area from the Pyrenees to the Slavic language border.” [emphasis mine; partially translated from source]
»Slawa Ukrajini!« [ ˈsɫɑwɑ ukrɑˈjiɲi]
Chancellor Scholz concluded his laudation with the greeting “Slava Ukrajini”, which means “Glory to Ukraine”, although the word “Slava” has a much deeper emotional meaning than the word “glory”. Politicians from New Zealand to Canada and the USA to Europe parrot this battle cry, which is the official greeting (answered by “Herojam Slawa” - “Glory to the heroes”) in the Ukrainian army since its introduction in 2018 by then-President Poroschenko.
The greeting has its origin in the revolutionary Ukrainian student movement at the end of the 19th century – allegedly in the Kharkiv region. Later, among the nationalists of the OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists; established in 1929 in Vienna), it became the rallying cry of Stepan Bandera’s fascist supporters, who, together with the SS, committed numerous serious war crimes against Jews, Poles, Roma and Sinti, Russians and, in particular, members of the Red Army during the Nazi occupation.
The call “Slava Ukrajini” was popularized anew by the so-called Euro-Maidan movement, which in 2014 chased elected President Yanukovych from office in an US-led coup d’état.
In this movement, Ukrainian fascists, who placed themselves in the tradition of the war criminal Bandera, emerged as a strong and organized force. These so-called “Azov battalions” today form part of the regular Ukrainian army, and since 2014 have distinguished themselves by particular cruelty towards the population of the breakaway Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republics.
Volodymyr Zelensky is not stupid or naive. He knows exactly what battle cry he is carrying in every speech across Europe. And the Ukrainian political elite and their Western supporters obviously have no problem with the fascists, nor with adopting their battle cries and symbols.
What absolutely has to be said in 2023 about the awarding of the Charlemagne Prize, but is deliberately concealed by the mainstream
The fact that Aachen does not have a happy hand when it comes to awarding its prizes was already evident in 1933, when the city appointed Hitler an honorary citizen – practically immediately after the Enabling Act. And it took 50 years for the city to revoke his honorary citizenship. The illustrious circle of those honored with the Charlemagne Prize since 1950 for their “services to Europe” continues this tradition in an impressive manner.
A small selection:
1950 – Richard Nikolaus Graf Coudenhove-Kalergi (Author; in 1947 he became Secretary General of the European Parliamentary Union, which he had founded.)
The text of the presented certificate speaks volumes:
On Ascension Day, May 18, 1950, Dr. phil. Richard Nikolaus Graf Coudenhove-Kalergi was awarded the International Charlemagne Prize of the City of Aachen for the year 1950 in the Coronation Hall of the City Hall of the former Kaiserpfalz, in recognition of his life’s work for the shaping of the United States of Europe [sic!].The city of Aachen, once the center of the Carolingian Empire from the Pyrenees to the Slavic linguistic frontier, as a frontier city tirelessly in the task of overcoming these borders by building intellectual bridges, could not find anyone more worthy to receive its highest award.
1961 – Walter Hallstein (Nazi; founding father of the EU)
Hallstein enjoyed an elite education at the ‘Kaiser Wilhelm Institute’ in Berlin, thanks to money from the IG Farben cartel. He was a member of the elite Nazi ‘Rechtswahrerbund’, the ‘National Socialist People’s Welfare Association’, the Nazi ‘Air Protection Association’, and the Nazi Lecturers’ Association. In 1941 he was professor of comparative law, corporate and international business law at the University of Frankfurt.
In 1950, he became Konrad Adenauer’s personal advisor and the most important coordinator of his foreign policy. He was one of the 12 signatories of the Treaty of Rome in 1957, the foundation of the Brussels-based EU. A year later, he had the honor of being the first president of the incarnation of the EU Commission and remained so for 10 years. All other predecessor organizations of the EU were the work of the German oil and pharmaceutical cartel.In 1938, Hitler’s major state visit to fascist Italy took place; weeks later, Hallstein officially represented Nazi Germany in Rome. Out came a joint commitment to dominate the continent and, of course, to the agenda of “protecting the highest race from Jewry.” In one of the most absurd historical coincidences, 19 years later, in the Italian capital of all places, he signed the Treaties of Rome.
In addition to Adenauer, his supporters included such illustrious figures as Hans Globke, head of Adenauer’s Federal Chancellery, for a time number 101 on the Allies’ list of most wanted war criminals, and Fritz ter Meer, a Bayer/IG Farben manager convicted in the Nuremberg trials.
NSDAP party member Carl Ophuels, administrator of IG Farben patents, became Hallstein’s right-hand man in Brussels. The old cadres created the new coal and steel cartel, further projects were a European Defense Community and the European Atomic Energy Commission EURATOM.
In the Berlaymont Palace, the new citizenship “European” was concocted and he had the audacity to publish the book “The European Community”. In it it is said that every action emanates from the Commission and that it has the monopoly on legislative initiatives.
Note: For more thrilling information about the EU’s dark history, I strongly recommend reading the book “The Nazi Roots of the ‘Brussels EU’”, published in 2010 by the Dr. Rath Foundation, which was again recently dismissed (no surprise there) by the Brussels EU as “pro-Kremlin disinformation”.1969 – The Commission of the European Communities (!) (predecessor of the EU Commission)
1984 – Karl Carstens (Nazi, German Federal President 1979 - 1984; first SA man to hold the highest offices in the Federal Republic.)
1987 – Henry A. Kissinger (American diplomat, political theorist, geopolitical consultant, and politician who served as United States Secretary of State and National Security Advisor under the presidential administrations of Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.)
It is pure cynicism to call a “symbol of the policy of détente and peace” the man, of all people, who as early as 1957, as an advisor to the U.S. Office of Weapons Development at the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff, propagated a nuclear war limited to Europe.
1999 – Tony Blair (Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2007)
The reason for awarding the prize was “his decisive action in the Kosovo crisis, in which he convinced U.S. President Clinton of a clear NATO position toward Slobodan Milošević and laid down broad outlines of a new doctrine for the international community.” Charlemagne Prize for a war of aggression (in NATO parlance, “Operation Allied Force”) in violation of international law that resulted in the destruction of the civilian infrastructure in vast parts of the former Yugoslawia.2000 – Bill Clinton (President of the United States from 1993 to 2001)
Just a reminder: It was Clinton who, in addition to being primarily responsible for the war of aggression against the Republic of Yugoslavia, ordered a large-scale, non-UN-backed airstrike against Iraq just before Christmas 1998, mainly for domestic political reasons, in order to distract from the imminent impeachment process.
2002 – The €URO (!)
Honoring a currency with a prize needs no further comment.
2006 – Jean-Claude Juncker (Prime minister of Luxembourg from 1995 to 2013 and 12th president of the European Commission from 2014 to 2019.)
Honored for his “services to the unity of Europe” – namely the establishment of a tax haven for major global corporations. Quote: »We decide something, then put it in the room and wait some time to see what happens. If there is no great clamor and no uproar, because most people do not understand what has been decided, then we continue - step by step, until there is no turning back.«2008 – Angela Merkel (Chancellor of Germany from November 2005 to December 2021)
Honored for her “extarordinary services to the unity of Europe” – Responsible for laying the foundation for Germany’s nuclear phase-out, the uncontrolled influx of migrants, the unconstitutional annulment of a state election result, the undermining of the Grundgesetz (constitution), the breach of the Minsk agreements or the confession that they were only a farce to buy Ukraine more time to rearmament. Alleged physicist.2018 – Emmanuel Macron (President of France since 2017)
Russia must not be humiliated in Ukraine, Emmanuel Macron has said, to allow an improvement in diplomatic relations between the west and Moscow whenever the war comes to an end. Hear, hear!2019 – António Guterres (Since 2017, he has served as secretary-general of the United Nations)
»Vaccinate everybody everywhere sooner rather than later!« – Enough said.2023 – Volodymyr Zelensky (Comedian, actor, US-installed president of Ukraine, and US war puppet since 2019; can play piano with his penis)
So the man who has failed to stop the killing of his own people in eastern Ukraine since he “took over” the presidency in 2019 is now being awarded the Charlemagne Prize for his “services to the unity of Europe.” What an irony that this happened shortly after he had tapped another €2.7 billion in German military aid in claim. Almost simultaneously with the awarding of the controversial prize, huge explosions occurred at Zelensky’s main weapons depot in the western Ukrainian town of Khmelnitsky – an alleged depot for DU grenades recently supplied by the United Kingdom.
Zelensky, who has been on a war promo/arms and F-16 begging tour for some time - with stops in Italy, Germany, France and the UK - arrived Saturday for the G-7 summit in Japan.
Speaking at a press conference in Hiroshima on Sunday, he wasted no time in again denying that the city of Bakhmut, which had been battling for months, had fallen according to several reports, while at the same time comparing the destruction there to that of Hiroshima after the atomic bombing in 1945. He also said that “he was confident that Kyiv would receive supplies of F-16 fighter jets from the West to help repel Russia’s full-scale invasion of his country.”
The Russian reaction was accordingly: “The leaders of the G7 brought to their meeting the ringleader of the Kyiv regime they control and turned the Hiroshima event into a propaganda show,” the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement.
According to recently leaked U.S. intelligence documents, the Ukrainian leader has also proposed occupying Russian villages to gain leverage against Moscow, bombing a pipeline carrying Russian oil to Hungary, a NATO member, and seeking long-range missiles to hit targets within the Russian borders – all in the name of “European unity”, of course.
In view of the fact that the rock star of the warmongers, Zelensky, has flushed billions and billions of taxpayers’ money into the coffers of the military-industrial complex (after deducting amicable commissions, of course) with his propaganda tours, one has to ask oneself whether the Ukraine war has not gradually advanced to become the mother of all business models. However, one should seriously worry whether this business model, the longer it is practiced, will not burst sooner or later in a third world war like a festering ulcer that has been forgotten to be cut out in time.
In any case, to honor Zelensky for “his struggle for the unity of Europe” is like thanking the United States for its commitment to world peace.
Freedom does not need prizes but supporters, it already has enough enemies.
Valuable commentary on the crooks congratulating each other.
