20,000 Germans In Hannover Turn Out To Protest Obama TTIP Deal As ‘Attack On Democracy’
Thousands of demonstrators have turned out in the German city of Hannover to protest a planned U.S.-Europe TTIP free trade agreement, a day before President Barack Obama arrives.

Thousands of demonstrators have turned out in the German city of Hannover to protest a planned U.S.-Europe TTIP free trade agreement, a day before President Barack Obama arrives.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Thousand of Germans turned out to cheer Barack Obama when he gave his globalist New World Order credentials speech at the Brandenburg Gate in 2008. But today, after watching the past 7 years of his Marxist policy making, thousands of Germans have again turned out for his visit, but this time in complete rejection of his TTIP free trade hoax. Evidently, Obama’s power to hypnotically deceive the masses seems to be waning. This is a good day for Germany, and all of Europe.
Police said Saturday that more than 20,000 people gathered for the demonstration. Many in Germany regard the planned Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, or TTIP, with suspicion. Protesters Saturday carried placards with slogans such as “Yes We Can – Stop TTIP!”
Proponents argue that the agreement would boost business at a time of global economic uncertainty, but critics worry that it would erode consumer protection and environmental standards.
Officials in Washington and Europe are trying to clinch key parts of the TTIP deal before the end of the year. Obama is due in Hannover on Sunday to open an annual industrial fair. source
What is TTIP? And six reasons why the answer should scare you
The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership is a series of trade negotiations being carried out mostly in secret between the EU and US. As a bi-lateral trade agreement, TTIP is about reducing the regulatory barriers to trade for big business, things like food safety law, environmental legislation, banking regulations and the sovereign powers of individual nations. It is, as John Hilary, Executive Director of campaign group War on Want, said: “An assault on European and US societies by transnational corporations.”
Since before TTIP negotiations began last February, the process has been secretive and undemocratic. This secrecy is on-going, with nearly all information on negotiations coming from leaked documents and Freedom of Information requests.
But worryingly, the covert nature of the talks may well be the least of our problems. Here are six other reasons why we should be scared of TTIP, very scared indeed:
1 The NHS
Public services, especially the NHS, are in the firing line. One of the main aims of TTIP is to open up Europe’s public health, education and water services to US companies. This could essentially mean the privatisation of the NHS.
The European Commission has claimed that public services will be kept out of TTIP. However, according to the Huffington Post, the UK Trade Minister Lord Livingston has admitted that talks about the NHS were still on the table.
2 Food and environmental safety
TTIP’s ‘regulatory convergence’ agenda will seek to bring EU standards on food safety and the environment closer to those of the US. But US regulations are much less strict, with 70 per cent of all processed foods sold in US supermarkets now containing genetically modified ingredients. By contrast, the EU allows virtually no GM foods. The US also has far laxer restrictions on the use of pesticides. It also uses growth hormones in its beef which are restricted in Europe due to links to cancer. US farmers have tried to have these restrictions lifted repeatedly in the past through the World Trade Organisation and it is likely that they will use TTIP to do so again.
The same goes for the environment, where the EU’s REACH regulations are far tougher on potentially toxic substances. In Europe a company has to prove a substance is safe before it can be used; in the US the opposite is true: any substance can be used until it is proven unsafe. As an example, the EU currently bans 1,200 substances from use in cosmetics; the US just 12.
3 Banking regulations
TTIP cuts both ways. The UK, under the influence of the all-powerful City of London, is thought to be seeking a loosening of US banking regulations. America’s financial rules are tougher than ours. They were put into place after the financial crisis to directly curb the powers of bankers and avoid a similar crisis happening again. TTIP, it is feared, will remove those restrictions, effectively handing all those powers back to the bankers.
4 Privacy
Remember ACTA (the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement)? It was thrown out by a massive majority in the European Parliament in 2012 after a huge public backlash against what was rightly seen as an attack on individual privacy where internet service providers would be required to monitor people’s online activity. Well, it’s feared that TTIP could be bringing back ACTA’s central elements, proving that if the democratic approach doesn’t work, there’s always the back door. An easing of data privacy laws and a restriction of public access to pharmaceutical companies’ clinical trials are also thought to be on the cards.
5 Jobs
The EU has admitted that TTIP will probably cause unemployment as jobs switch to the US, where labour standards and trade union rights are lower. It has even advised EU members to draw on European support funds to compensate for the expected unemployment.
Examples from other similar bi-lateral trade agreements around the world support the case for job losses. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the US, Canada and Mexico caused the loss of one million US jobs over 12 years, instead of the hundreds of thousands of extra that were promised.
6 Democracy
TTIP’s biggest threat to society is its inherent assault on democracy. One of the main aims of TTIP is the introduction of Investor-State Dispute Settlements (ISDS), which allow companies to sue governments if those governments’ policies cause a loss of profits. In effect it means unelected transnational corporations can dictate the policies of democratically elected governments.
ISDSs are already in place in other bi-lateral trade agreements around the world and have led to such injustices as in Germany where Swedish energy company Vattenfall is suing the German government for billions of dollars over its decision to phase out nuclear power plants in the wake of the Fukushima disaster in Japan. Here we see a public health policy put into place by a democratically elected government being threatened by an energy giant because of a potential loss of profit. Nothing could be more cynically anti-democratic.
There are around 500 similar cases of businesses versus nations going on around the world at the moment and they are all taking place before ‘arbitration tribunals’ made up of corporate lawyers appointed on an ad hoc basis, which according to War on Want’s John Hilary, are “little more than kangaroo courts” with “a vested interest in ruling in favour of business.”
So I don’t know about you, but I’m scared. I would vote against TTIP, except… hang on a minute… I can’t. Like you, I have no say whatsoever in whether TTIP goes through or not. All I can do is tell as many people about it as possible, as I hope, will you. We may be forced to accept an attack on democracy but we can at least fight against the conspiracy of silence. source

European Union Chief Tells All 27 Member States To Prepare For World War 3 With Supplies And ‘Survival Kits’ As War With Russia Grows Ever Closer

The European Union is ready to order all of its citizens to prepare survival kits with 72-hours worth of supplies in the face of a looming World War 3 threat as NATO warned Russia it faces a “devastating” revenge strike if they attack any part of the EU
With each passing day, the drumbeats of war grow louder and louder as a military conflict between the European Union and Russia now seems unavoidable. NTEB has told you from the beginning of the war in Ukraine, that Putin is not trying to win the war, his goal is to keep it percolating at a nice, little simmer until he can draw everyone else into it. Last week, it was just the nation of France issuing the World War 3 ‘Survival Guide’, and today it’s all 27 member states who will get them. That’s progress, and that’s the memo.
“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalm 9:17 (KJB)
The headlines are also blaring a possible coming conflict between the United States and Iran, warning signs include but not limited to military buildup, Iranian proxies, sanctions, military muscle flexing, and imposed deadlines. The Trump administration seems intent on two things at the moment. One, they want to impose a ‘peace deal’ on Ukraine negotiated with the Russian without Ukraine input, and two, a military conflict in the Middle East. In the meantime, Putin sits fat and happy watching the rest of the world readjusting itself to suit his agenda.
EU to order ALL citizens to ready WW3 survival kits as NATO warns Putin faces ‘devastating’ revenge if he attacks Europe
FROM THE SUN US: European Union bureaucrats are pushing for every household in the 27-nation bloc to prepare the kit for war and natural disasters. It is expected that will be part of a union’s broader “preparedness strategy” amid the threat from Russia. Key items they will ask the bloc’s 450 million citizens to gather includes water, energy bars and a flashlight.
And meanwhile, NATO boss Rutte issued one of his strongest rebukes to Putin yet as he vowed a “fierce” response to any attack on Europe. Speaking in Warsaw, Poland, the ex-Dutch Prime Minister warned of any settlement to end the war in Ukraine that would be “favourable” to Putin.
He said: “Eastern Europe fear such an outcome would allow Russian President Vladimir Putin to rebuild his country’s forces and threaten other countries in the region in the coming year.”
“If anyone were to miscalculate and think they can get away with an attack on Poland or on any other ally, they will be met with the full force of this fierce alliance. Our reaction will be devastating.”
“This has to be very clear to Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and anyone else who wants to attack us.”
Rutte’s comments come as Europe has been put on notice by the White House – with new US President Donald Trump determined to find a quick end to the war in Ukraine and putting Europe on notice. Trump is calling on Britain and the EU to up their military spending so they no longer have to “rely” on the US for protection.
Elsewhere, in a chilling show of force, the Kremlin fired the cruise missiles from its Ufa attack sub in the Sea of Japan. Russian state media boasted claims that the missiles hit a land target over 620 miles away in the Khabarovsk region, as well as a naval target. And after the agreement yesterday of a ceasefire in the Black Sea, both Russia and Ukraine accused the other of breaching the deal.
President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Moscow of “manipulations and threats” and warning: “We don’t believe them. The world really doesn’t believe Russia.” Zelensky added: “Unfortunately, even now, even today, on the very day of negotiations, we see how the Russians have already begun to manipulate.” READ MORE

France Issuing A Draconian ‘Invasion Guide’ To Citizens As President Emmanuel Macron Warns Europe Must Begin Preparing For Imminent Global War

France issuing its citizens an invasion guide – including how to survive a nuclear attack – after Emmanuel Macron warned Europe must begin preparing for war
France is called the City of Lights for its romantic beauty, we all have seen the pictures of beautiful sidewalk cafes in Paris where croissant and espresso are elegantly consumed in leisurely fashion. But we have all also seen the haunting, gut-wrenching images of the Nazi tanks rolling down the Champs Elysée, the French forces and people cowering in utter terror. Perhaps this is what went through the mind of Emmanuel Macron as France released its 20-page ‘Invasion Guide’ to World War 3.
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.” Ecclesiastes 1:9,10 (KJB)
Macron’s ‘Invasion Guide’ is broken up into three different parts:
- ‘Protecting yourself’ – a section intended to raise solidarity when it comes to protecting oneself and neighbours. This first part also lists the survival kit to have at home in the event of a serious crisis. The kit includes at least six litres of bottled water, ten canned goods, batteries and a flashlight in case of a power cut.
- ‘What to do in the event of an alert’ – a part detailing the actions one must take in the event of an imminent threat. This chapter lists emergency numbers, radio frequencies, as well as tips like closing all doors in the event of a nuclear accident.
- ‘Get involved’ – this final section explains how to sign up to a reserve force, whether military or communal. source
You don’t have to be a YouTube prophet to this war coming, your King James Bible tells you that this period of time is all about wars and rumours of wars, and so it is. WWI prepared the land for the Jews, WWII prepared the Jews for the land, and WWIII will prepare the Jews for the time of Jacob’s trouble. When war happens, you sure won’t be able to say we didn’t warn you. That’s the memo.
France issues ‘Invasion Guide’ as Macron says prepare for war
FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: France is set to issue a survival manual to households across the country, warning citizens how to respond to an invasion or any other ‘imminent threat’. The dramatic move comes as tensions rise in Europe and fears grow over Russia’s aggressive tactics.
The new 20-page booklet, reportedly packed with 63 measures, will advise the French on how to protect themselves and their families in the event of armed conflict, natural disasters, industrial accidents or even a nuclear leak. It will include tips on how to create a ‘survival kit’ with essentials including six litres of water, canned food, batteries, a torch and basic medical supplies such as paracetamol and bandages.
Crucially, it will offer advice on what to do if an attack is imminent, including how to join local defence efforts, such as signing up for reserve units or firefighting groups. Citizens will also be told to ‘lock their doors’ in the event of a nuclear incident – advice that has already drawn ridicule from commentators. Despite the alarming content, the French government insists the booklet is not a direct response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
President Emmanuel Macron has previously warned that Europe must be prepared to confront the ‘Russian threat’ and adapt to the possibility that America could scale back its military support.
Earlier this week, Macron revealed that French fighter jets equipped with new generation hypersonic nuclear missiles will be sent to the German border as part of his bid to renew France’s airborne nuclear deterrent.
Officials from the General Secretariat for Defence and National Security (SGDSN), which oversaw the booklet’s creation, claim the aim of the survival guide is simply to bolster France’s resilience in the face of ‘all types of crises’.
The decision to draft the booklet reportedly dates back to 2022, in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, as part of a national strategy to improve public preparedness. But the timing of its release – expected before summer if approved by Prime Minister François Bayrou – has raised eyebrows. French newspaper Le Figaro noted that the kit’s rollout ‘could easily suggest that the state is reacting to the unstable international situation’. Macron has recently called for Europe to rearm in the face of Russia’s aggression in Ukraine and America’s wavering commitment to upholding European security under Donald Trump. READ MORE
French survival guide: Preparing for war?
The French government is preparing a survival guide for French households to prepare them for an emergency such as an armed conflict. We take a look at what’s in the pamphlet and what other European nations are doing to prepare their citizens for worst-case scenarios. Finally, we explain how this guidebook is far from the only one that’s part of French life.

EU ARMY: European Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen Announces The ‘ReArm Europe’ Initiative To Prepare The Continent For World War 3

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen just launched ‘ReArm Europe’, the largest military investment program in European Union history
We have been telling you for quite some time now that World War Three is coming before the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church, and like the two previous wars, it will be centered in Europe. Yesterday, EU Commission president Ursula Von Der Leyen announced ‘ReArm Europe’, the largest military ramp-up in EU history since the group was formed back in 1993. This is the goal of Russian president Vladimir Putin, and why he keeps the war with Ukraine on a permanent simmer. It is the bait to draw in the rest of the world to complete the trilogy.
“For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.” Luke 21:22 (KJB)
I am no fan of Putin, but give the Devil his due, he is playing the world like a fiddle, and that includes President Trump and his administration here in America. That big blowup last week in the White House where Trump and Vance ganged up on little Zelensky was right out of Putin’s playbook, and it moved the needle toward WWIII another giant step closer. French President Emmanuel Macron has long talked about and dreamt about a full-fledged European Army, and he will soon get his wish. That’s the memo.
ReArm Europe: EU Commission Chief Proposes €800 Billion Defense Scheme
FROM THE EUROPEAN CONSERVATIVE: Following the Tuesday, March 4th presentation, her five-point plan, dubbed “ReArm Europe,” is meant to allow EU member states to “massively” boost their defense spending both in the immediate future and over the next decade. In total, von der Leyen is hoping to mobilize “close to €800 billion” for defense investment through ReArm Europe from multiple sources: joint loans, national budget increases, and private capital investment. However, every proposal comes down to one thing: debt, both at the EU and national level. The Commission chief has stated this is necessary in the current “era of rearmament.”
“I do not need to describe the grave nature of the threats we face or the devastating consequences that we will have to endure if those threats will come to pass. We are in an era of rearmament”
Von der Leyen added that the question is no longer whether Europe needs to shoulder more responsibility for its own defense, but whether it is prepared to “act as decisively as the situation dictates.”

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) March 4, 2025
The Commission’s five-point ‘ReArm Europe’ strategy was sent to all member states ahead of Thursday’s emergency European Council summit, where leaders are expected to adopt a joint position agreeing to at least the broad outlines of the plan.
The five points include:
- Activating the ‘national escape clause’ to allow member states to run 1.5% higher budget deficits than what’s permitted by EU rules to drastically boost their defense spending.
- A €150 billion worth of joint loan for “pan-European” military procurement, under which member states can pool demand and buy weapons together cheaper. This includes air and missile defense systems; artillery, missiles, and ammunition; drones and counter-drone systems; as well as cyber- and mobility equipment such as armored vehicles. This could also be used by member states to buy military equipment for Ukraine (there might even be an additional clause that 20% of every procurement should be invested in Ukraine).
- Allowing for more “flexible” use of existing EU funding for defense purposes, including diverting a portion of cohesion funds and remaining pandemic relief funds.
- Accelerating the implementation of the Savings and Investment Union (SIU) to attract private capital investment by increasing returns on savings from Europeans’ household wealth.
- Securing more private capital through the European Investment Bank (EIB).
According to the European Council President António Costa, there is a “broad agreement” among all member states that a massive boost to the EU’s defense spending is the way to go forward, and the only thing that needs to be discussed on Thursday are the details of the Commission’s plan.
The idea of joint debt has always been a very contentious issue among member states, and particularly opposed by north-western countries, such as Germany, the Netherlands, and the Scandinavians, who don’t like the idea of subsidizing others with more ‘reckless’ fiscal policies. These countries agreed to the pandemic relief funds being raised through a joint loan in late 2020 after being reassured that it was a “one-time thing” only, a point they referred to frequently over the past two years when the EU began floating a €100 billion loan idea for defense.
Yet, now it seems that even the most frugal countries are on board with taking out a much bigger joint loan for defense. Nothing illustrates the change of heart better than the fact that Germany—the country historically most opposed to becoming a ‘debt union’ while insisting on its rigid national rules—is now moving to circumvent its ‘debt brake’ to raise a proposed €900 billion defense cash pot alone under incoming Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
The initial draft resolution for Thursday’s emergency summit also included an immediate €20 billion military aid package to Ukraine from the EU budget, but this instrument was reportedly put on hold and scrapped from a newer version due to fears of Hungarian and Slovak vetoes. READ MORE
