Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, retired U.S. Army officer and former Chief of Staff to the Secretary of State, just dropped a confession that should shock any US as well as any European citizen who is still capable of thinking for themselves.

Who Is Lawrence Wilkerson?

Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson is not a fringe figure.

– Retired US Army Colonel with 31 years of service
– Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell (2002–2005)
– Senior Fellow at the Quincy Institute
– Participated in preparing Powell’s infamous UN presentation on Iraq’s WMD
This is an insider speaking from the heart of the US political and military apparatus.

In an August 19, 2026 interview with Professor Glenn Diesen, Wilkerson laid it out:

He says America did not merely influence the continent.

It deliberately built the Europe we see today. And the receipts are brutal.

THE CONFESSION

“We created the Europe that exists right now on purpose.”

Wilkerson states it plainly: the CIA, with help from SIS, MI6 and later Mossad, painstakingly crafted the political landscape of Europe in the exact image Washington wanted.

This was not organic alliance-building. It was a long-term operation.

THE BUYING SPREE

They bought newspaper editors.

They bought labor-union heads.

They bought parliamentarians.

They bought two NATO Secretaries General: Jens Stoltenberg and Mark Rutte.

They bought whole countries in terms of their political apparatus.

HOW THE MACHINE WORKED

Starting in 2002, billions of dollars flowed through the CIA and USAID.

Liberal democracy itself was weaponized.

An Asia scholar once said America taught the dogs to bark. Wilkerson agrees the trainers were American intelligence services.

Europe barked against Russia, against diplomacy, against its own interests because that is what it had been trained and paid to do.

THE STOLTENBERG OPERATION

Wilkerson was “up close to cheek and jowl” in elevating Jens Stoltenberg.

Washington watched how malleable he was inside his own government and used him as the center pole from which influence spread to other capitals.

Stoltenberg calculated correctly: loyalty to the American line would make him the next NATO chief.

THE RUTTE PATH

Dutch media later exposed that Mark Rutte, while prime minister, excused almost anything Israel did, stayed extra-hawkish on Russia, and backed the bombing of Yemen.

The purpose was clear: look good on the job application for NATO Secretary General.

Washington had already signaled exactly what qualities it would reward.

THE HOLOCAUST LEVERAGE

With Mossad’s help, the lingering weight of the Holocaust over European politics was deliberately exploited.

Germany’s strict anti-semitism laws and regulations were shaped with American assistance so the instrument would remain available.

THE BOTTOM LINE

America spent decades and billions of dollars buying the political class of Europe, installing compliant NATO leaders, and training entire governments to bark on command.

Now the same Europe is weaker, more submissive, and still following orders that no longer serve its survival.

The creators are finally admitting what they did.

Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, just said what many have suspected for years.

The US created an Europe that serves American interests — not European ones.

This was never an alliance of equals. It was a product.
