THE FALL OF EUROPEAN UNION

 

84 million Europeans live below the poverty line and 26 million are unemployed. The economic and financial crisis has turned into a social and democratic one and only 31% of Europeans trust the EU. Is the EU ready to respond to its citizens' expectations and concerns?

On 23 October, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC)  held a high-level conference in Vilnius to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing the EU and the need for an equitable, social and accountable Europe. Under the auspices of the Lithuanian Presidency of the EU, representatives of European civil society and the Lithuanian authorities explored new ways to protect the European social model and help it recover. Economic stimulus must be accompanied by social measures. All participants agreed that democratic and political legitimacy were at stake.

Luca Jahier, president of the EESC's Various Interests Group stated: “As a result of the crisis, in some austerity-hit countries we have witnessed increasing political extremism, demagogy and prejudice. The fiscal, banking and financial unions are necessary pillars of Economic and Monetary Union. But they must be complemented by measures to promote growth and equity, employment creation, poverty reduction and territorial and social cohesion. Today, it is up to Lithuania, this economically performing country which is now at the helm of the EU, to share the experience of its own difficult economic reforms. Lithuania has important lessons to teach its European neighbours. It is not for nothing that 80% of Lithuanians think that EU membership brings benefits.”

Vydas Gedvilas, First Deputy Speaker of the Seimas, added: “Since its independence, Lithuania had a very clear direction towards faster integration into the EU. It took us a decade, after intense efforts, but it happened in 2004.”

During the conference the following proposals were made:

• A European Education Network for Unemployed Workers, which would offer job seekers a two-year re-training course and cross-border education vouchers.
• A new European Social Action Programme with clear tangible targets (i.e. a minimum guaranteed income)
• European Social Bonds to support investment in economically viable social projects
• A stronger European Youth Guarantee Scheme with additional EU funds, extended to young people aged 30 and to regions where youth unemployment is less than the current requirement of 25%
• Rapid measures to stimulate the real economy, SMEs and employment
   

Miroslavas Monkevičius, Secretary of Vilnius City Council highlighted: “Youth is our great potential but it has not been used effectively. Now more than ever, we need measures to get young people into the job market.”

Rolandas Krisciunas, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, concluded: “We need more Europe in the European Union. The EESC is very valuable to civic society and its work should be more visible. The Lithuanian Presidency of the EU, is pleased to be able to count on the support, expertise and advice of the EESC”.

 

 

 

WHO THE FUCK IS HERMAN VAN ROMPUY?

In the European Parliament, Nigel Farage shouted at Herman Van Rompuy:  Who the fuck are you? You have the charisma of a damp rag and the appearance of a low-grade bank clerk.  I sense though that you're competent and capable and dangerous, and I have no doubt that it’s your intention to be the quiet assassin of European democracy and the European nation state.  You appear to have a loathing for the very concept of the existence of nation states, perhaps because you come from Belgium which of course is pretty much a non-country.

Farage is the best MEP and the President of the UK Independence Party.  Farage believes in the right of the people to govern themselves, rather than be governed by unelected bureaucrats in Brussels. He believes in the minimum necessary government which defends individual freedom, supports those in real need, takes as little of our money as possible and doesn’t interfere in our lives. Farage believes in democracy devolved to the people, through national and local referendums on key issues, so that laws are made by the people’s will, not the fads of the political class.

 

Whenever the European Commission (EC) does something very stupid, it calls it smart.  Smart has become a European euphemism for very stupid!  EC declares the Cohesion Fund is smart.  But Cohesion Fund is taking money from the poor people of a rich EU country and giving it to the rich people of a poor EU country! 

EC considers spending smart!  But growth cannot come from government spending, but only from elimination of VAT and drastic reduction of taxes, regulation, licensure, bureaucracy, and political corruption.  Whenever EC squanders money, it calls it investment.  Investing is now an EC euphemism for squandering!

 

SOZIALE MARKTWIRTSCHAFT

The main problem of Fourth Reich is the European economic and social system that spreads the cancer of socialism. The European Soziale Marktwirtschaft prefers social policy based on income redistribution to productive work. It prefers free-time and long holidays to hard work. It prefers consumption to investments, debts to savings, security to risk-taking.

All of it is part of a broader civilizational and cultural problem, deeply rooted in the European continent or in most of its countries. It can't be exterminated overnight, it can't be changed as a result of one or another EU summit, it can't be changed by painless cosmetic changes. It requires a deep systemic change.  Most Europeans are disappointed in Fourth Reich. 

Europeans face three over-arching challenges: 23% VAT, huge taxation, and huge political corruption.  Nevertheless, Olli Rehn, Ole Ruin, declares we face three other over-arching challenges:  First, we need to find a solution to the challenge of sustainable growth. Second, we need to continue with on-going efforts to meet the challenge of fiscal sustainability. Third, we have to meet the challenge of rebuilding the Economic and Monetary Union.

Nigel Farage muses it is remarkable that the European Union got 960 billion euros from EU taxpayers, despite the fact that the accounts have not been signed off for 18 years in a row. If this was a company, the directors, or in this case the Commission, would all be in prison.

Fourth Reich is run by uncharismatic bureaucrats. This is the fault of Eurokleptocrats who prefer to elevate weak figures, who won't meddle too much.  Van Rompuy prefers writing haikus, Ashton is manipulated by socialists, and Barroso likes to play the Messiah of Third World.  Eurokleptocrats want to transform the confederation of EU to the federation of USE (United States of Europe), enslaving all Europeans to Brussels and spreading the cancer of socialism.

Most Europeans are disappointed in Fourth Reich.  European commissioners have become bumptious bugaboos who offer no real service, but propaganda and obstacles. They make huge incomes for brainwashing us, giving us hard time, and boycotting our efforts for a free and happy life.  Laissez-nous faire, Let us do!  The European Commission is just an extra layer of government, an extra layer of oppression, an extra layer of bureaucracy, and extra layer of inertia.  Who needs that?

Though commissioners are supposed to do different things, they all do one single thing, spinning EU propaganda.  So in reality, Fourth Reich has 28 commissioners of propaganda, 28 Goebbelses!   Like Joseph Goebbels of Third Reich, they frequently deliver speeches on the benefits of Fourth Reich, but never about the costs.  Their disgusting daily propaganda costs many billions of euros, and it adds insult to injury.

The libertarians of eurozone wait for Scarlet Pimpernel to save them from the banking union, financial transactions tax, the huge taxation, the huge regulation, the 23% VAT, kleptocracy, antitrust armageddon, and the cancer of socialism. The League of the Scarlet Pimpernel, a secret libertarian society, rescues eurozone libertarians from the daily executions of the reign of socialistic terror. Legendary Scarlet Pimpernel took his nickname from the drawing of a small red flower with which he signs his messages.  Scarlet Pimpernel helps corporations move out of eurozone.

Fourth Reich was not initiated on March 25, 1957 in Rome, but on August 10, 1944 in Strasbourg!  Fourth Reich originates from the Red House Report, a detailed account of a secret meeting at the Maison Rouge Hotel in Strasbourg, a couple of blocks from today's Eldorado of Prostitutes (EP), on August 10, 1944. There, Nazi officials instructed an elite group of German industrialists to plan for Germany's post-war recovery, prepare for the Nazis' return to power, and work for a strong Fourth Reich.

The three-page, closely typed report, marked Secret, copied by British spies and sent to the US Secretary of State, detailed how the industrialists were to work with the Nazi Party to rebuild Germany's economy by sending money through Switzerland. They would set up a network of secret front companies abroad, wait until conditions were right, and then grab power with various hoodwinking treaties.

Jean Monnet, founding father of Fourth Reich, says in a letter to a friend on April 13, 1952: Europe's nations should be guided towards the super-state without their people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished by successive steps, each disguised as having an economic purpose, but which will eventually and irreversibly lead to federation.

You remember this quip from former Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel during the financial crisis: You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.  What matters to statists is that they see an opportunity in a pseudocrisis to shape public perception and manipulate public opinion. The financial crisis yielded a government takeover of the financial sector. The healthcare pseudocrisis yielded a government takeover of the healthcare system.  What do you think Eurokleptocrats are going to do with the crisis of PIGS?   They’d be happy to transform the confederation of Fourth Reich to a federation.  You should take the blood libel seriously.

There are events in history known as false flag events. These are staged by a government usually to distress the public, so the government can do something that the public would otherwise disapprove.  The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is flying the flag of a country other than one's own. Lyndon Johnson’s phony Gulf of Tonkin pseudoevent started the Viet Nam War in 1964. This was deemed necessary to begin a full scale war with public approval and is now well documented as a false flag event. It never happened.  Now PIGS are the false flag to transform the confederation of Fourth Reich to a federation.

I consider the European Union null and void confederation, because Europeans did not vote for any constitutional treaty!  Eurokleptocrats pulled off the biggest powergrab in history by imposing a camouflaged constitution, bypassing all nonos. The Nazi dream for Europe was finally fullfilled - ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuehrer - one people, one empire, one leader. 

The Lisbon Treaty is Eurokleptocracy's Pyrrhic victory. It created a confederation, Fourth Reich, without a popular foundation. EU lacks legitimacy among Europeans. Eurokleptocrats created a situation where the citizens of slave States live their lives with a resigned feeling that the EU project is not their own.  

Fourth Reich is an illegal confederation that has no voted constitution, a flag no one salutes, an anthem no one sings, a Fuehrer no one can name, a parliament of prostitutes, a capital of huge bureaucracy no one controls, a currency that soon will not exist, rules of fiscal behavior that no member has been penalized for ignoring, a commission which is the Eldorado of corruption, brutal cybercops, and kleptocrats galore!  Ode to Joy is the anthem of Fourth Reich. It is based on the final movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony, and it’s used without lyrics. 

Fourthreichian fiscal union is the Trojan Horse for overall harmonization of economic rules, policies, and laws in Fourth Reich.  Any eurozone problem is interpreted as a consequence of the lack of harmonization and leads to another wave of a creeping harmonization.  Fuehrer Merkollande frequently declares that coordinating tax policies and labor laws is not just about currency issues but also about political cooperation, which has to be deepened.  In other words, more enslavement to Brussels, transforming the confederation to a federation!

Vaclav Klaus points out the current centralization of power to Brussels is based on an irrational but very easily embraced story that nation-states are responsible for wars. This is what the children are taught at schools. This is what Eurokleptocrats repeat when they run out of arguments. It is much worse than we assume, they probably even believe in it! We must patiently argue that the only guarantee for peace is democracy, freedom, and prosperity, not global governance.

Klaus muses that in good economic weather, even morons could function. When bad weather came in, all the weaknesses, inefficiencies, discrepancies, imbalances and disequilibria became evident and the monetary union ceased to properly function. This can´t be considered a surprise. Eurokleptocrats did not want to take this into consideration. Their way of thinking was evidently based on a communist type of reasoning: economic laws do not exist, politics may dictate economics.

The most imminent issue which asks for being addressed now is the eurozone sovereign debt crisis. This crisis is the tip of a much bigger iceberg. The crisis in Europe goes much deeper. Crisis is a process of creative destruction. Not everything can be saved and maintained. Something must be destroyed or left behind in this process, especially the wrong ideas.  PIGS might have to be slaughtered.

Klaus asserts we should get rid of utopian dreams, of irrational economic activities and of their promotion by European governments. Part of this implies that even some states must be left to fall, such as PIGS. Eurokleptocrats keep saying that such a solution would be costly. It is not true, the prolongation of the current muddling through is more costly. We have to explain to Eurokleptocrats that the costs they are afraid of are already here, the costs they have in mind are sunk costs already.

Fourth Reich should introduce radical systemic changes:

·        VAT and financial transactions tax must be abolished.

·        Europe has to get rid of the cancer of socialism.

·        Eurokleptocrats should not try to mastermind the markets, to micromanage the economy, to pseudoproduce growth by government stimuli and incentives.

·        Europe should start preparing comprehensive reductions of government spending.

·        Climate-scare mongers must be stopped from taking over much of EU economy under the banner of flawed ideas.

·        Europe should start decentralizing, deregulating, and desubsidizingits society and economy.

·        Europe should forget about fiscal union, banking union, and political union.

·        Europe should return to democracy which can exist only at the level of microstates.

·        Religion, state, justice, health, and education should be separated.

·        Government should not own any property.

 

HALVE THE EU BUDGET AND THE SALARIES OF EUROCRATS AND MEPS NOW!

 

 

The Greek presidency of EU must be annulled, because the kleptocratic alliance of Pasok mafia and Nea Democratia mafia cannot be trusted.  The freakish government of Greece stole my computer, my files, and my life in cold blood!  Basil Venitis, venitis@gmail.com, http://themostsearched.blogspot.com @Venitis
