Vehement federalists and former prime ministers of
Luxembourg and Belgium, Jean Claude Juncker (EU commission chief) and Guy
Verhofstadt (Federalist leader), speaking on behalf of the pro EU lobby
in the Strasbourg parliament (Week 37) looked despondent, sounded angry, became frustrated
and appeared cornered.
"Battle for
survival" and "existential crisis" – were phrases used by
Juncker.
It was extraordinary to watch. I say extraordinary;
most Skeptics and Brexiteers at the parliament session in Strasbourg wanted to
hear conciliatory notes.
After the victorious post-Brexit vote it is clear
the federalist command went into camera to plan their response. Rather than
address genuine concerns and fears about where their federalist plan is taking
Europe and its citizens, they have emerged to declare a counter offensive
against National Populism.
Unstoppable Nationalist Populist sentiment spreading across Europe was treated to a display of attitude and commendation.

These ultra-federalists projected a weak notion
they can and will persuade citizens of Europe to accept their mantra of “More
Europe.” Sadly it seems, they may have no further intention of even attempting
to do any persuading. They show little interest in the views of the people.
They are convinced they can ultimately steamroll citizens into their federalist
Superstate Europe by a declared 2025 deadline using the tools provided by the
Lisbon treaty.
A Europe under threat seems to be the EU
federalist’s last throw of the dice. They openly are pushing for the EU army
they believe will save their plan. Creating diversions and promoting external
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!
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?
Of-course they are blind just as they were blind to
the idea of a positive vote for Brexit.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 defense, terrorism, security
co-operation, jobs in security etc.
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.”
