The first sign of political reaction to this transnational dumping campaign visible to the naked eye could be observed in January, when Nato war criminal Panetta was visiting London to coordinate efforts to try containing the trade war from within. Had the takeover of the North American military apparatus by its notorious secret police two years ago already illustrated the suicidal nature of its proclaimed doctrine, the challenge produced by the economic policy of energy corporations increasingly uncomfortable with their client regimes triggered a hectic movement of government executives in their attempts to preserve an outmoded hegemony, whose reverberations were soon encroaching on the political stability of Africa as well. After French energy corporation Areva had been highlighted as a major source of post-colonial instability and tension, concealing their mounting panic had become the order of the day among leading Nato officials. With the political flagship of the cold war locked in “Article V” mode for a duration Thatcher during her reign would probably have labeled as ridiculous, an odd precondition had been nurtured for its increasing tendency of self-mutilation.

As of now, reliable information what precisely Panetta had been done in London is not yet available to the public. Yet given the strong reverberations of the event in the international community it appears increasingly plausible that the assassination of Thatcher had been the leading topic on the agenda of these meetings. It is an open secret that the North American secret police is in possession of technology to induce heart attacks in specific targets, and the use of this weapon against humanity has sharply increased in recent years coinciding with the progress in the development of the devices. Thatcher was not only an icon of a past era which would predictably crystallise military-industrial hypocrisy around the inferiority complex expressed by her policies, but also an expendable asset of a shaking apparatus easily available to be sacrificed for a public relation campaign. This implies Obama signed an executive order to exploit the impending death of Thatcher for secret military purposes already in 2012. It is not required to seize on a cynical tendency to remember that neoliberalism has always eaten its Elders, though not always with the desired public visibility as in the case of the former politician. Yet another high profile case is the assassination of conservative ideologue Christopher Shale during the CIA/Pentagon takeover, also by heart attack under questionable circumstances. This has been attributed to several foreign agencies in an as of now apparently successful attempt to bully Cameron into instant collaboration with external hegemonial ambitions.

In the case of Thatcher, the heart attack could have been ordered for the specific purpose to provide a smokescreen distracting from the Munich Gladio trial whose opening session had been set to coincide with the Thatcher funeral. Yet at this point the plan does not seem to have been successful, since the trial whose date had been announced during the Munich Nato conference in February, which Panetta also attended, after Thatchers death due to internal frictions of Nato was again postponed on short notice. From the outside view, this makes the “Rotten Lady” being sacrificed to a dysfunctional public relations strategy by the most irresponsible ones of her own followers look like a sick joke which did not even get a laugh. May she rest in what she meant to the survivors of the policies she stood for.
