<span style="font-family: inherit;">EU’s stop-Brexit man Guy Verhofstadt was in the UK campaigning
for the “<b><span style="color: red;">B</span></b>ollocks

party (Liberal Democrats). This party
along with an array of anti-Brexit forces are standing for office in the
forthcoming EU parliament elections. Their mission is to force the majority of
UK voters to abandon their democratically expressed wish to leave the European
Union. By force, not persuasion but by <b><span style="color: red;">B</span></b>arefaced <b><span style="color: red;">B</span></b>etrayal through underhand parliamentary tactics. </span></div>

Army Gets Organised Under Cover of Brexit.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has called for the
creation of a “real, true” European army while addressing MEP’s at the European
parliament Strasbourg on November 13th 2018.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Little if any of the call was reported in the UK press as
Brexit chaos dominated the news there. She was echoing a similar call by her
French counterpart President Macron to “protect ourselves with respect to
China, Russia and even the United States of America.” It cites the army’s function
as engaging in external operations and missions.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The move to supplant NATO has led to friction with US
President Trump who has recently taunted the French Macron about his failing popularity
and political pressure from angry protesting and rioting French citizens over
living standards. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As Chancellor Merkel and French President Macron mull over
plans to conquer the woes of the world, Paris is burning and the ADF in Germany
marches on and on towards taking power.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were told it would never happen. We were told Europe’s
leaders have no appetite for such a plan. We were told to trust the EU that it
had no ambitions to become a powerful Superstate giving itself the right to intervene
militarily in international missions and operations.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now the plans are set in motion. 27 countries are involved.
Each are designated contracts in creating the newest and possibly one of the mightiest
armies since Germany’s Adolf Hitler’s Wehrmacht teamed up with Italy’s Benito
Mussolini in 1940.<o:p></o:p></div>

We are in the moments a Brexit anti-hero makes its appearance.
The confidence lines after the 2016 referendum between Leave and Remain over right
and mistake are blurring. Post Brexit distinctions are re-shaping and becoming sharper
and more bitter. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These distinctions are basic. Who rules! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who decides the shape and form of society! For
some the people’s views are second to the visions of those who are holding the
power of law and order. To others in the game “People power” is everything.<o:p></o:p></div>

sovereignty justifies taking what is on offer from the European Union.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Across Europe a deeper and more profound debate is still bubbling.
The deepening of the culture wars has formed a front where traditional and
popular culture is linked to past colonial times, contemporary social political
correctness and the sense that communities are being forced to accept new norms
and reject old customs through finger pointing decree and shame and name tactics.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It has worked in the past in culture wars. China, Cambodia
and the Soviet Union were all successful in implementing thought change and correct-thinking
citizens, albeit after a decent into a horrible and inhuman society.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Whether Brexit will abdicate the UK’s sovereignty, or the EU
succeeds in forming a left-leaning politically correct Superstate in its own
image will soon be known. The 2019 EU elections and the Brexit finale are approaching.
The phony peace abates. An opening salvo commences, pitching the democratic
forces of Economic Nationalism against technocratic columns of Liberal
Globalism. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

So, what was so disturbing about the Ireland abortion
referendum. Well it was not the result. As a male member of our species I care
little for the outcome. In fact I don’t know why men even bothered to vote in
what is really a female issue. Most species kill. As part of the family of species
on the planet we do our fair share of killing. Some of it we rightly scorn and sometimes
we punish the perpetrators. Some of it (killing) is illegal one day which then
becomes lawful the next. Like the Irish abortion referendum. That’s our choice.
We decide what killing is lawful and what is not. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
What is disturbing about the Dublin victory celebrating transforming
the once illegal killing of un-born babies into the lawful killing of un-born
babies is….. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First, how the victorious turned their attention to
calling for the imposition of the lawful killing of un-born babies in the North
of Ireland. Technically a region within a foreign and sovereign country – the UK.
Would the Irish like to be told by a foreign country who to kill and who not to
kill? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not a big deal really, as that will be a decision for the
people of Northern Ireland and none else.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What is more disturbing is the changing nature of what
abortion is being called. From the illegal killing of un-born babies to the
lawful killing of unborn babies it now becomes the termination of something. The
unborn are now a something and quite possibly they can then become a
nothing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From what was once regarded as
murder, today’s attitudes have transformed this once murder charge action into “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The lawful
termination of a nothing.”<o:p></o:p></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><br /></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now, where does this attitude fit in with exterminating Jewish Untermensch,
lynching US niggers, genocide against snobby African Tutsis, urban Cambodian
dwellers and their stupid intellectuals and so on for the rest of the sub-humans.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Shock horror! How can one talk like this! It is disgusting.
And yes, it is disgusting to talk such degrading language, but so is calling
killing the un-born “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The lawful termination of a nothing.”<o:p></o:p></i></b></div>

And all of this could have been prevented. Or maybe it was

interfere in a country’s internal affairs.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The EU is fundamentally flawed, and everyone seems to know
it – even the EU itself. But reform is not possible because the mechanism for
reform is not written into the EU’s DNA. As such, the deteriorating situation
in trust and respect for the EU’s political agenda across Europe will continue
as people take more and more interest in what concerns them – the power to
determine their future in their own best interests. <o:p></o:p></div>

surprise rise of the anti Euro and anti-immigration party Alternative für Deutschland.<strong><span style="background: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"> </span></strong>The far right party won 94 seats in the September 2017 elections with 12.5% of the national vote. The party has finally broken through the 11%
barrier, the symbolic percentage figure that makes others sit up and take
notice. <o:p></o:p></div>

Feeble, lousy, inadequate
are words being used by the German media to describe recent past performances
of European Liberal Democracy. There has
been plenty of warning signs and plenty of dissenting voices in pointing out the

all the Brussels federalist machine keeps on spouting “More Europe” and “we

meeting in Taormina Sicily last week when Chancellor Merkel declared that Europe
can no longer completely rely on its longstanding British and US allies. The job of rehabilitating Germany to full recovery

is only a matter of time before a cornered Isis resorts to these terror

The EU federalist clique since 1993, railroaded their ideology of a born
again Empire. They ignored Europe's citizens; their national identity, their
histories of struggles from past dictatorial regimes and replaced democracy

How did neo-liberalism expect the people to ultimately
respond to the EU’s half-baked notion that its idealism cannot be wrong! For
the greater good of Superstate and finally an Empire with its own

states, forced immigration quotas, cheap labour and above all obedience from Brussels

This EU project is led by the European Commission. The Commission
is like a collection of government ministries supported by an army of
thirty-three thousand employees. Its focus is an attempt to create a modern Federalist
Superstate; a successor to the many forms of government that have ruled Europe
since the collapse of the Roman Empire of past ages. To some this may sound
appealing. To others it sounds the stuff of nightmares. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Empires do not end gracefully and often are credited with a
legacy of internal strife and civil war. From the end of the Western Roman
Empire in 476 AD till the close of the World Wars of European origin, various
empires, federations, confederations, dictatorships, kingdoms, isms and the
like have shaped, built, destroyed and defined the continent.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Euroskeptics view EU ideologues as sick and dangerous patients
to be cut adrift and quarantined. They see the commission as a fanatical body
of brainwashed elites that forces Europeans to follow “More Europe.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The European Commission, aka “Good Europeans” view the
skeptics with similar disdain. Democracy is dangerous and leads to wars – this they
say about Europe in the 1920’s and 30’s. Better to direct the people how do it
than ask for their viewpoint.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is a clash of political thought over what is the better
system for ruling Europe in the 21<sup>st</sup> century. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A clash of political cultural identity between the Democratic
Nation State which emerged from 19<sup>th</sup> century Europe and the
continuity of European empire.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Interestingly
Churchill said in 1943 “Empires of the future will be empires of the mind.” The new counter –revolution spawning in Hungary
and spreading to central and Eastern Europe is taking the politics of culture
and identity closer to central stage. “Who am I and do I own my country?” “Shall
I be told to move aside to make room for another people and another culture
regardless of how I feel about it?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I see the EU project entering into decline over its dogmatic
approach to fulfill the aims of the Lisbon treaty. One can only comprehend that
the EU as an intuition to bring Europe together is creating the opposite effect
on almost half of the continents citizens.<o:p></o:p></div>

in internal threats is a way to temper political and social grumblings. It
worked for Rome and the Soviet Union-right! But it only works if you control
the orders to send the troops into action-right!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Are they so blind they cannot see the power they
craved for slipping away from the Brussels citadel and re-forming in the north
nation states and to the east where the politics of culture and identity has
gripped its people? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Of-course they are blind just as they were blind to
the idea of a positive vote for Brexit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">As this blog stated in an earlier post, the EU
response to Brexit was a planned attack on an East European country with threats
of expulsion from the organisation over allegations of corruption and
misconduct. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Hungary has come under a proxy threat from
Luxembourg (of all countries) over its handling of the migrant crisis, refugee
quotas and asylum seekers treatment. Luxembourg
is renowned for being Europe’s number one big international corporation tax
haven. A system set up by commission boss Junker while he was PM there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The EU (Junker) also recently attacked an international
American Corporation in a prodding attempt to claim the right to set tax laws
for sovereign member states-Ireland; and of course the saga of the EU army and
the Commissions role (Junker) in invoking it into action rolls on and on.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">These federalist pipe dreams are sounding more
dangerous and desperate. Their obsession with reaching “More Europe” in its
totality is now fanatical and fuelling unmeasured responses from National
Populism. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">At the latest “Unity” summit in Bratislava,
“divisions” were led bare. The German Chancellor declared the EU in a “Critical
Situation.” Merkel’s call to correct the “Critical situation” was to drum up
the usual taboos-internal and external </span>defense<span style="font-size: 12pt;">, terrorism, security
co-operation, jobs in security etc. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Reassessment of critical situations, redefining
relationships and the re-mapping of new courses is not an admission of failure
but a deed of courage to find and lead out of a “Critical Situation.”</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The deep
bellowing sounds of Maramures are projected into the moonlit sky. The
astoundingly beautiful natural amphitheatre of ‘Sus Pe Bradova’ in the hills
above the village of Barsana is sending messages from a concert fusing traditional
and contemporary music.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">This
historic part of Transylvania is in insurgency. It is opposing the latest
campaign to reach these ancient hills; the contemporary erosion of the area’s
rural spirituality.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

From the passion of daytime clashes over the European Union’s

strategic normal to defeat European Democracy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

It is no secret that by 1941, Democracy in Europe was
reduced to just 11 countries. How many today across the continent feel their
freedom threatened by the vehemently anti-democratic forces in Brussels and
their obsessions to forge a new Superstate.<o:p></o:p></div>

A plan was hatched some years back to create a Europe where
conflict was to be made unthinkable between its nations. That may be already an
achievement to be proud of; but alas this is not the achievement of the European
Union but rather the efforts of Nato and the five members of the Security
council. The alliance of the US, France and the United Kingdom was the drive
behind the peace.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now the European Union wants to duplicate the security
institutions of the Atlantic alliance and create a pan nation European Army,
under whose control none knows. There is no stomach for it at the moment in
Europe but if countries lock into the Five Presidents of the European Union’s master-plan
for Political and Fiscal union by 2025, “Project Fear” will be already rooted in
EU strategy and policy. It will be playing its part in creating the demons and
the enemies to the EU’s existence.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Make no mistake about Federalist intentions up to and after
2025. For them it is a win all lose all game.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once a nation is rooted in a “No way out” Superstate, “Project
Fear” will become the organ of conflict and wanton confrontation beyond the
control of its member states and their citizens; conflict, which will not be between
European nations, but between regions, economies, those who have and those who
have not.<o:p></o:p></div>

UK rebels fighting against the European Union and its Federalist
agenda to create a Superstate by 20125 have held their ground after an unprecedented
“Project Fear” onslaught from the world’s financial and elitist establishment.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

From nearly every quarter of big business, banks and
financial intuitions, the economic debate over the coming Brexit vote focused
on the negative and the punishment to be meted out if the people vote for a
restoration of democracy..<o:p></o:p></div>

The economic argument assumes there will be no corrections,
new thinking or any of the entrepreneurial British spirit about after the vote
to leave; just stagnation or impotence; just how wrong this part of “Project Fear”
is!<o:p></o:p></div>

What is surprising about “Project Fear” is just how little
fear it is actually producing across the country. The British are digging in to
resist.<o:p></o:p></div>

Maybe this is what the EU in Brussels needs to see/hear
before it continues to treat its members with the contempt and bullying we saw
them deliver to weaker countries during the first EU financial crisis. <o:p></o:p></div>
