Karl Guttenberg starting to sound like Winston Churchill

Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg (World Economic Forum)

Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg had an article in the Wall Street Journal yesterday and made the news in Germany for that (the German article was machine-translated:

Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg has accused the Europeans in drastic words failure and blindness in the face of crises in the Ukraine and the Middle East. The conservative American newspaper “Wall Street Journal” published on Thursday a long contribution of the former German defense minister , in which he goes hard with the American government and especially with the EU to court. “While the government of the United States is obviously overwhelmed by the variety and severity of crises, with which it is confronted, it makes the European politicians not even something that they do not know what to do,” writes Guttenberg. In allusion to Christopher Clark’s book “The Sleepwalkers” about the outbreak of the First World War, the CSU-man referred to the European leaders of today as “Sleepwalkers”, the “do not realize the consequences of their inaction.”

The EU Summit, where Heads of State and Government decided last weekend to rule within a week on new sanctions against Russia, Guttenberg calls a “beauty contest”. European politicians would find still reasons why the EU is not functioning. “But Eurocrats Excuses keep the soil does not depend on further turn,” Guttenberg holds.

“Delusional Rapture”

European citizens and their politicians he accuses “delusional rapture” before, because they do not take threats beyond their limit seriously. Even after the launch of the Malaysian passenger plane over eastern Ukraine “there was no EU-wide shock and dismay,” says the former minister. He is conv inced that Russia would not be content with the Eastern Ukraine, “if it is not stopped.” As Russia would stop, Guttenberg says.

In the Middle East he sees a failure of Europeans who do not understand to use their influence on Israel and the Palestinians. For Gaza war Europe had produced only “useless press releases and a two-sided design on the reconstruction of Gaza”. The German, who now leads a consulting firm in America, does not mention the offer of Berlin and other European powers to contribute by sending observers to resolve the Middle East conflict. A corresponding European foray in the UN Security Council seems, however, currently stuck in New York.

The original German text:

Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg hat den Europäern in drastischen Worten Versagen und Blindheit angesichts der Krisen in der Ukraine und im Nahen Osten vorgeworfen. Die konservative amerikanische Zeitung „Wall Street Journal“ veröffentlichte am Donnerstag einen langen Beitrag des früheren deutschen Verteidigungsministers, in dem er hart mit der amerikanischen Regierung und vor allem mit der EU ins Gericht geht. „Während die Regierung der Vereinigten Staaten offenkundig von der Vielfalt und Schwere der Krisen überwältigt ist, mit denen sie konfrontiert ist, macht es den europäischen Politikern nicht einmal etwas aus, dass sie nicht wissen, was sie tun sollen“, schreibt Guttenberg. In Anspielung auf Christopher Clarks Buch „Die Schlafwandler“ über den Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs bezeichnet der CSU-Mann die führenden europäischen Politiker von heute als „Schlafwandler“, die „die Folgen ihrer Tatenlosigkeit nicht erkennen“.

Den EU-Gipfel, auf dem die Staats- und Regierungschefs am vorigen Wochenende beschlossen, innerhalb einer Woche über neue Sanktionen gegen Russland zu befinden, nennt Guttenberg einen „Schönheitswettbewerb“. Europäische Politiker fänden immer noch Begründungen dafür, warum die EU nicht handlungsfähig sei. „Aber Eurokraten-Entschuldigungen halten die Erde nicht davon ab, sich weiterzudrehen“, hält Guttenberg fest.

„Wahnhafte Entrückung“

Den europäischen Bürgern und ihren Politikern wirft er „wahnhafte Entrückung“ vor, weil sie Bedrohungen jenseits ihrer Grenze nicht ernst nähmen. Selbst nach dem Abschuss des malaysischen Passagierflugzeugs über der Ostukraine „gab es nicht EU-weiten Schock und Bestürzung“, behauptet der frühere Minister. Er gibt sich überzeugt, dass Russland sich nicht mit der Ostukraine begnügen werde, „sofern es nicht gestoppt wird“. Wie Russland zu stoppen wäre, sagt Guttenberg nicht.

Auch im Nahen Osten sieht er ein Versagen der Europäer, die ihren Einfluss auf Israel und die Palästinenser nicht zu nutzen verstünden. Zum Gaza-Krieg habe Europa nur „nutzlose Presseerklärungen und einen zweiseitigen Entwurf über den Wiederaufbau von Gaza“ hervorgebracht. Der Deutsche, der inzwischen in Amerika ein Beratungsunternehmen führt, erwähnt nicht das Angebot Berlins und anderer europäischer Mächte, durch eine Entsendung von Beobachtern zur Lösung des Nahost-Konflikts beizutragen. Ein entsprechender europäischer Vorstoß im UN-Sicherheitsrat scheint in New York allerdings derzeit festzustecken. http://www.faz.net/aktuell/politik/ausland/frueherer-verteidigungsminister-guttenberg-rechnet-mit-deutschland-ab-13135817.html

Baron Guttenberg was once the Defense Minister for Germany.

Here is how article by Baron Guttenberg begins:

The European Union named new leadership on Saturday. Yet the latest EU summit in Brussels was just another beauty contest with layers of geopolitical cosmetics, lacking any promise of a new beginning. After months of institutional paralysis, European leaders still find ways to rationalize why the EU is not ready to act. In the past year, national and European-level elections and then the summer break have left the EU in an extended freeze.

But Eurocratic excuses don’t stop the Earth from spinning. http://online.wsj.com/articles/karl-theodor-zu-guttenberg-the-return-of-europes-sleepwalkers-1409786698

To me, he is acting a bit like Winston Churchill. He is telling the Europeans that they need to take the lead, but they are afraid to do so. Winston Churchill made all types of warnings before World War II, and ended up leading the UK to fight in that war. Herr Guttenberg is seemingly making comments that could put him in a position that people in Europe will turn to him to lead the fight that could be called World War III.

Karl-Theoodor zu Guttenberg is one that I have been watching for years as I feel that he possibly could be, or at least could assist, the final King of the North of biblical prophecy. He seems to be taking steps to be the one for Europeans to turn to in the future. His latest article in the Wall Street Journal is consistent with that.

Is Russia the King of the North? Some claim it is. But what does the Bible teach? Here is a link to a video, also titled Is Russia the King of the North?
Can You Prove that the Beast to Come is European? The Book of Revelation tells of a beast power that will rise up. Some think that this must be Russia or could be Islamic, while others say that this power is European. The Book of Daniel tells of the rise of an end time King of the North that some think must be referring to a Russian leader, while others say that this power is European. How can you be sure? This YouTube video has all the scriptural proofs that you should need to prove that this power must be a European one.
