MAN OF THE YEAR 2015:
QUISLING
THE ORIGINAL QUISLING,
STANDING FOR THE 21 CENTURY
QUISLINGS
TEMPOS INTERESSANTES’ MEN OF THE
YEAR 2015
People will find it
most odd that Vidkun Quisling, who died in 1945, would be chosen for Tempos Interessantes’ Man of the Year
2015. In fact he was not really bestowed with the award.
Vidkun
Quisling was a Norwegian politician who betrayed his country, collaborated with
the III Reich, supported the Nazi invasion of Norway in 1940 and actively
cooperated with the Nazi rule over Norway with the post of Minister-President,
side by side with the Reichskommissar. His collaboration was extensive and
included the Final Solution. After the War, he was put on trial, found guilty
of murder and high treason and was executed by firing squad in October 1945.

This despicable
character is brought up in this post because his name has become a synonym for
traitor and for collaborationist. So, Quisling in this context is actually
quisling and the Man of the Year award is bestowed upon a long line of modern
day quislings. We are obviously not speaking of the same level of the
aforementioned high treason, much less of collusion to mass murder, but we are
pointing to a list of politicians from several European countries who, in the
past decade, have shown an absolute contempt towards the will of their people
and the interests of their nation, for the sake of abiding to the rules,
policies and interests of a foreign power.
Coincidence or not, the
power whose will these 21 Century Quislings have been subservient to is none
other than Germany.
First and foremost
among the Quislings and the inspiration for these selection is the Greek
Prime-Minister, quite possibly one of the biggest frauds in contemporary
European politics.
The man who swore war
on austerity, the man who launched a crusade for a drastic cut to Greece’s
debt, the man who wanted to pursue a litigation to extract war reparations from
Germany, the man who vowed to put an end to the excruciating pain inflicted
upon the ordinary Greeks for four years, the man who vowed to make Greece break
free, the man who put to a referendum the choice between accepting Germany’s
diktat and rejecting it, campaigns for the latter and is vindicated by the
popular will and sells out his country to the Germans the following week,
accepting even harsher conditions than the ones proposed before the referendum.

However,
Tsipras will have to share the prize (and indictment) with several fellow
Quislings and do they abound. With different degrees of Quislingness, each and
everyone of them has willingly and repeatedly subjugated his political action
to the Berlin-Frankfurt-Brussels social-economic dogma, regardless of the
willing of their people and the widespread, selective and deliberate pain and
suffering inflicted upon them.
We are not
talking about Auschwitz, Treblinka, or Matthausen, but we are talking about the
massive punishment of fiscal confiscation, arbitrary salary cuts,
indiscriminate pension cuts, deliberately making working people ever more
vulnerable and persecuted, throwing crowds of millions to unemployment, many
losing their homes, many more thrown into outright poverty, destroying the
lives and hopes of the youth that, for instance, in Greece, have a 50%
unemployment rate, many forced to emigrate to escape the dead-end.
All this done
in the name of the austerity dogma, the fake panacea used to rescue banks and
to consolidate the German export onslaught to Europe. This, however, is only
feasible when there is an army of Quislings imposing these commands. Here’s a
quisling short list:
* Mario QuislingMonti (Italy)
* Antonis Quisling Samaras (Greece)
* Passos Quisling Coelho (Portugal)
* Mariano Quisling Rajoy (Spain)
* Venizelos (Greece)
* Vítor Quisling Gaspar (Portugal)
To this we
can still add the EU’s structure, including the most relevant commissioners
and, to a lesser extent, the leaders of France (François Hollande) and Italy
(Matteo Renzi) who, seemingly scared of German wrath or retribution, have
simultaneously disagreed and acquiesced to German malfeasance.
The
Quisling’s band lies, cheats and steals with astounding impunity, it denigrates
whoever thinks differently and it displays a canine unshakeable
allegiance/obedience towards Germany. For them, Democracy is a burden and the
people are a nuisance they barely put up with.
This notwithstanding,
the Quislings mostly succeed and it is their success that earned them this
distinction: through lies, threats and deceit they carry on their masters’
policies presenting them as the ONLY policy, their gospel.
