The European Union has not grown as harmoniously as we would like to believe; rather, it has been prepared and constructed under significant influence from Washington. The Euro is more of a political currency imposed during the unification process, which has led the Eurozone into a debt trap. Whoever controls the national debts controls Europe. Behind this lies a banking syndicate that is part of the financial conglomerates controlling the global economy with over $75 trillion. The three major Western central banks are led by former employees of the US investment bank Goldman Sachs and act as instruments of the syndicate. These financial powers steer the Western monetary and financial system and infiltrate the European financial and real economy as shareholders. The free trade agreements CETA and TTIP are now intended to secure the markets.
