Plenty of cults exist - every cult has its 'religious dogma', its idols, its 'prophets', its 'science', its 'proof' and its intolerant liturgy of demands. Cults everywhere: Corona, 'The Science' or Scientism, Islam, the State, the cult of Gender Fascism, Marxism, Darwin and Evolution, Globaloneywarming, Changing Climate, Abortion...
Tempus Fugit Memento Mori - Time Flies Remember Death
The EU or German Empire as it should be called (some say the 4th Reich) is doomed to fail. Economically, cultural, morally, institutionally, democratically, the EU has failed. Its nation states are technically bankrupt, the cost of living for its citizens thanks to illiberal trade, tax and regulatory costs are 30% higher than they should be; and of course there is the Moslem-African invasion, packaged as ‘a refugee crisis’, with the stupider of the Bloc supporters stating that ‘climate change’ is the culprit. Culture is King and Europe’s culture is dead and Moslemifying.
Yet open borders remain a primary objective. Millions of Africans and Moslems are poised to enter. Turkey may yet accede to membership opening up the sluice gates to the Moslem invasion. When 70% or more of the African-Moslem ‘refugees’ are unemployed, with sky rocketing crime and rape; with the degradation of social systems, welfare, schools and hospitals on full display, maybe someone, somewhere with a brain, would suggest that the open-borders policy is a massive economic, cultural and human failure. But not the EU. It will persist in its own demise.
The best hope is that Brexit is the beginning of the End for the 4th Reich. We can list summarise the problems with the EU/German Empire:
· Even German studies have made it clear that Germany has benefited from the 4th Reich and in particular, the devalued DM called now the Euro, amassing nearly 2 Trillion Euros in benefits. However, 8 Trillion Euros have been diverted from the French and Spanish economies to Germany.
· Greece and other states have also suffered. Cost of food and living up by 30% thanks to the EU 'agreements', distortions, taxes, regulations.
· A massive Democratic deficit: the EU Parliament which has no power, and the fact that a foreign entity now makes national laws without national consent is an outrage.
· EU Army. The EU army will be deployed within 5 years to the capitals of the captured states.
· Massive taxes, regulatory and ‘Green’ costs which push up prices for food and consumer products and reduce industry and employment.
· Green Fascism with the war on natural carbon-based energy, which will result in auto-manufacturing plant closures (Nissan, Ford, VW already, BMW to come); and economic contraction impacting budgets and the ability to support the massive welfare state.
· Unemployment. In most countries, according to Eurostat, if the numbers were honestly counted, the real unemployment rate would range from 15 to 30%. This is unsustainable. In little Holland for example with a workforce of 8 million, 1 million are at home with ‘back problems’ on welfare, funded by the state (and private employers for 2 years), but not counted as ‘unemployed’.
· The 140 BILLION EU Budget – much of it is spent (35%) on French, Spanish farmers (the CAP); and on ‘infrastructure’ and regional development, basically wastefully taking from one taxpayer in one state; and giving it to another, which leads to cronyism, poor investments, asset bubbles and fraud.
· Open borders. Or rather, the great replacement of ‘Whites’, with Africans and Moslems. The Moslemification of Europe proceeds at a horrendous rate and most demographic pronouncements indicate France and other areas of the German empire will be majority Moslem by 2040-2050. In any EU country a majority are against the further Islamification of their state, a view ignored by the Fake News Media, Politicians, the un-Civil Service and mis-Education systems.
· The crime, the rapes, the welfare implosion and the general societal carnage cased by the EU open-borders policy, is by itself, enough to completely discredit this undemocratic Transnational empire. Instead of importing the Jihad, the EU Empire needs to promote families, reduce abortions and reduce the cost of living to promote the raising of children.
The German-EU empire will eventually implode. This will accelerate when during the next financial crisis (debt, currency), the spigots ‘buying’ regional acquiescence to German domination, are turned off, and regional discontent (where is my ransom payment?), rapidly increases. Yet cui bono from the German Empire? Germany of course. Even the Guardian admits that the Germans are the beneficiaries of the EU Empire.
“Germany is the one country that has really benefited from the single currency and is not going to propose a hard-mark zone that might exclude France.”
Germany has every incentive to keep the Euro-scam (devalued DM good for exports), going:
Germany see the benefits of keeping the Euro and avoiding a Euro breakup. This places them in a difficult position because they are one of few countries to have the necessary resources to provide substantial bailout funds to the economies in real crisis. Germany has committed substantial funds to the EU bailout funds.
If one looks at trade and the current account, Germany is the clear winner within the EU, with the UK, Greece, Spain, France, Italy and Portugal the clear losers. This is due to trade distortion and the inability of nation states to plot their own trade regime, including agreements with states which could provide products or services at a lower price which would benefit their citizens. Currently, with the Euro (DM) all trade flows are distorted for Germany’s benefit, and all trade agreements are bloc-based and increase imports by some 20-30 % due to EU taxes, compliance, regulations and ‘green’ fees. Some car firms (VW, BMW) are going to close plants due to these costs, which will only exacerbate EU industrial weakness and reduce economic vitality.
Fortune’s analysis of Germany’s ‘Beggar thy Neighbour’ policies says Germany is the main beneficiary of the Euro’s fundamental trade distortion across the Continent.
Germany has for many years pursued a policy of wage suppression, which many economists have described as a competitive devaluation or ‘beggar thy neighbour’ policy. Germany’s gains in competitiveness were immediately translated to gains in trade, since the freedom of goods, services, persons and capital allowed German products to circulate freely and quickly throughout the European Union. These are the fundamental freedoms of EU law and are vigorously protected by the European Court of Justice. German policy would not have been successful without them
Germany has also benefited from the fixed exchange rate that the Euro effectively secures between itself and its major European markets. The Euro and a consolidated EU budget has led of course to corruption, cronyism, Fraud, mis-spending, poor investments….:
This situation was made worse once the Eurozone was created. With the ECB looking away, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Greece built not only asset bubbles with cheap and easy credit (which happened elsewhere) but also opaque and politically driven banking systems. As a result, cheap credit impeded reform and damaged institutions in all the countries of the periphery.
Membership in the Eurozone directed funds to wasteful investment, made cronyism exceptionally profitable, provided new incentives for political corruption and strengthened already existing hierarchies. If all the members of the Eurozone were equally strong, if they all had, for example, an outstanding and independent banking regulator, a powerful judiciary and strong internal mechanisms of accountability, perhaps these things would not have happened. Yet, they did happen
The EU Budget of close to 140 BILLION Euros; but with the loss of the UK and ¼ of its financial strength, it is difficult to see how the EU Empire can survive – unless it conquers more territory to replace the UK funding hole. Over 1/3 of this massive pile of extorted money is spent on ‘cohesion’. Another 37% is lavished on ‘farming’ subsidies pushing up food prices and distorting trade. One may ask, what does ‘cohesion’ mean to the EU? In essence it means tying in the East and South of the Empire to its core and heart through infrastructure, transport and ‘Green’ projects, aligning the ‘periphery’ to use good Marxist language to the centre i.e Germany, making German products and services easier to export.
For the 2014-2020 period, the Cohesion Fund concerns Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.
Straight Roman Roads leading to Berlin. It is rather absurd that someone living in Ireland is funding a development project in Romania. There is no logic, no oversight, no ROI, no benefit of this transfer. It leads to cronyism, theft, asset bubbles and illiberal policies.
When the next financial crisis rocks the EU and economic contraction ensues, at that point, there will be demands from Poland (oddly a main beneficiary of EU largesse), Italy, Greece, Hungary and perhaps even little Holland, to escape the shackles of Germany and chart their own course as independent nation states. This will overlap with and support the demands for immigration reduction from Moslem states which a majority of EU citizens now demand.
The failure of the European Socialist Experiment is obvious and it manifests itself in some shocking numbers:
-It is a completely unnatural union with very little real economic, business or trade pattern rationale stretching across 28 very different countries.
-Overall real unemployment is about 30%, and even higher amongst youth in many countries [Spain, Greece, Portugal, likely Italy].
-There has been no austerity aka budget cutting [just very marginal cuts in total spending, some billions out of collective budgets in the trillions]. No labor, market or capital reforms have been enacted to counteract tepid economic growth and high unemployment. This is a travesty.
-Average net wealth per head is far lower than in North America, about 30-50% lower.
-EU per capital debt is now 21.000 Euros per person and going quickly to 25.000, with Greece and some countries at 31.000 per person. It is essentially bankrupt.
-Living standards are far lower when compared to North America, along with GDP per capita [about 25% lower].
-Due to trade distortions and keeping out non EU products and services, the cost of foodstuffs and consumables is 20-30% higher than it should be.
-Common Agriculture Policy which protects French and German farmers, has resulted in prices for all agro-products being much higher than they should be.
-When you add in quotas on fishing, farming and restrictive regulations on the same, you have a food price crisis, with the average food bill some 2x higher than in North America.
-The Euro has gone from 1.68 to the US$ in 2008, to 1.10 now and will fall far below, 1$. This means that the real cost of living in the Eutopia will skyrocket yet again.
-Open borders and the Moslem invasion. By 2050 many German prognosticators predict that Turks and Moslems will be a majority in the Germany. This will be replicated across the Continent. What sentient person in the UK wants to be a part of a future Fascist Islamic Caliphate ?
Add in further doses of reality. Entire industries in the UK have been wiped out including; shipping, steel, farming, fishing and refining of many raw materials. EU regulations, quotas and taxes, have conspired to either limit British involvement [farming, fishing], or so completely distort trade and material flows as to make the industry uncompetitive [steel, ship building, refining]. Hundreds of thousands of UK jobs have been lost due to EU policy.
Layer on the socialist tyranny from Brussels, where unknown, unaccountable EU Commission members make 65% of national laws [Euro Parliament does not make the Laws]; and where the gross violations of trade and commerce are dictated from; and it is a wonder that the UK did not separate sooner than 2016. Not one single 'Remainer' in the UK can identify their MEP, nor how the EU works, its budget, or what CAP is. Voting to remain in a socialist tyranny, in a system you can't describe, nor even bother to understand, and which is being eviscerated by cultural Marxist and Islam, is simply an expression of ignorance, not 'internationalism'.
EUtopia
People who support the EU have no clue whatsoever how it works, nor can they name any part of the process that is transparent, understandable or even reasonable.
It is a top-down elitist socialist tyranny, designed very specifically to destroy national cultures, borders, and rights.
Brexit the Movie.
