Ireland Commits to Battleship EURMANIA Magna. Can Chancellor Merkel Steer the Distressed Vessel to a Safe Haven.

It was a decisive vote to a fair debate. A rare event in the formation of Superstate. Democracy is not often welcome in the technocratic corridors of EU politics. But we are here now in this place. It is an uncertain but exciting move. Ireland has signed up to a fiscal and eventual political union with Germania Magna and allies should the Eurocarrier manage to ride the storms ahead. Ireland is under new management. Its national debt is to be repaid over a 20yr period.

Ireland commits to Europe in referendum.
The debate is polarising European society into Yes and No camps. 2012 

Europe is transforming rapidly through an unnerving catalyst. A man made financial tempest, planned and directed 12yrs past by the Czars of Money. The Euro core is in the making process.

But in other parts of Superstate this plan is causing severe dissent. It is ripping Europeans apart. Political polarisation and fractures in the social fabric are widening. It is the cause of riots, poverty, distrust and above all a massive loss of faith in how Europe is organised and run. It is becoming a mystery to most and a focus of fear.

In the coming months if not weeks Spain will be tested by the Czars of Money. Germany's resolve to support the European project as de facto leader will be measure in actions not words.

The proposal is daunting.....Are people willing to share the debts of others for a Superstate with uncertainty, a history of violence, a loss of democracy, a mistrust of national character and a clear submission to the Czars of Money . In my time as a war correspondent the biggest and most exciting high was to gamble with my own life against the odds.   ........ Throw the dice.................

E.U. Crisis. Open talk of Euro Break-Up Sends Shivers Across the Channel

“The eurozone must decide soon whether it wants to stay together or break-up,“ The British PM told MPs in Parliament. “The eurozone is tearing itself apart and the UK would not be unscathed,” said the governor of the Bank of England.

Frustration with the way Eurozone leaders have handled the crisis is seriously damaging confidence. If any was ever there in the first place.

The Strasbourg party gets more like an acid trip each month as it drifts
away from the reality of events facing Europe. photomoderne 2012

Austerity alone is not working, as told to the Euro politicians time and time again. The haughty pride which stalked the power corridors of Brussels is humbled to ridicule by the citizens of Superstate. Strasbourg looks increasingly more like a bizarre comedy of errors. Situated on the edge of town just off the highway and at the end of an industrial estate, this structure says nothing of importance to the visitor. It is surely the most expensive chatter shop in the history of parliaments.

And it is all not over yet for “Art of Superstate.” The crisis has yet to bite hard into the homes and living standards of the people. When the first wave of robbing the public by the investment bankers came in 2007, citizens were taken by surprise. The financial markets and the 500,000+ per year salaried gamblers got away with their massive bailouts. And, returned to practise their same old tricks, speculating on the misfortune of countries, food and energy.

As a second tsunami crash looms off shore threatening to engulf the E.U. one can not believe the public will sit idly by and bow down to the banker once again. But, as Greece heads for more chaos, as Spain looks about to be locked out of the financial markets, as Italy' feels the rising economic heat along with new anarchist attacks, as Germany looses its grip on the helm, as old antagonistic war wounds are reopened and as some northern countries swing to the far right, the President of the European council Herman Van Rompuy, has the answer;

…...”Greek people are still in favour of being eurozone members because they know there is no other option for their country, there is no future for their country outside the EU..... In any case, we will convince people of the good sense and the meaning of EU membership by economic results. That’s why we have to stabilise the eurozone and that’s why we have to increase economic growth, and create jobs.”

Does anyone, still believe, these people can run an Empire.

A New Wind Blows A Changing of the Guards. War Notes from Germany, A Country of Peaceful Overtones.

The mood from some German people thinking about the euro crisis and its fallouts  is “Please don’t leave Germans alone with all the power.” This, they say, its not good for everyone, including Germans.
“Follow through with the dream and Germany will play its role in making Europe secure and prosperous for the challanges which lie ahead in a global world.”

“If we fail”...they say....  “to unite and include UK in any future arangements, then Europe faces a dangerous and uncertain future.

Germans say mistakes have been made. There is growing acknowledgment about the role of the EU commission in Brussels....... A recogniion of a grossly dysfunctional, arrogant and corrupt white  elephant......often the cynicial comment of the British euro-skeptics on such a matter.

 The Merkozy alliance lies in tatters. The tactical error of giving election support to the President of Bling has, as suggested, proved damaging to Chancellor Angela Merkel.....what a pity she listened to others and not her political instincts...........As a result, the Saxon Queen is observing a combination of moves forcing her towards checkmate in 2013. There is a new wind blowing from left and right as Europe watches the changing of the guards. Austerity is being pillared by the people, as are those politicians who can be located for punishment. Political failure must know the world it lives in.
 

Same face, old job


Germany can be the heart of europe...but can Europe be the host of that heart....this cisis has now brought Art of Superstate to the crossroads for a great decision to a great question..........Can Germany convince the UK to cultivate Europe as the strongest economic and the strongest democratic force on the planet. Or will confederate nations of Europe grow as the Euro core consolodates. The Saxon Queen has little time left to make her place in history...she should use it wisely...........      

E.U Crisis. Euro In Intensive Care, Outlook Critical.

The sick child of the Europe project is moved into Intensive care as conditions for lady Euro's survival becomes critical. Some say the outlook is fatal. At the time of writing Spain is the focus of financial market worry. There are some scary permutations being stored up in the deck of cards. The game is deadly.

Market heat is now full on to seek a sovereign takeover of Spanish financial affairs. Spanish citizens care little for this market worry and why should they after witnessing the brutal humiliation of Greece. For the Euro now on life support, the message is clear to Brussels and Berlin, it is not worth the pain to save it.

E.U Crisis: German revolutionaries occupy the space in front of the Central
Bank in Frankfurt. The Europe project faces its greatest challenge as Spain
is asked to bite the bullet. Picture 2012.  

Let it whither as the united Federalist currency. A fantasy of the grotesque. Let it reform into a hard currency for Germania Magna, Netherlands, Finland Austria and who else it serves.

It is certainly game over for the Federalists... Brussels is to blame. Why not. It failed to lead effectively during the crisis and as such must pay the price of its failure...Now despised by many citizens, figurehead EU commission must dissolve and be removed from the people's project, Dimension; the Art of Superstate, part 3.

What now is left of European solidarity under this E.U. commission's leadership. Little or nothing. We are back to where it all began, struggling to keep Europe form falling into anarchy and chaos on the streets, while blaming its big powers for insensitivity and self interest.

It's not that simple of course, but this is the game. Not I sir, I didn't do it, I wasn't there. But we were there and it did happen. The efforts of international Bankers to rule the lives of citizens through debt and loans has backfired. Citizens are in a revolutionary mentality. They are no longer afraid or unable to question the very reason d'etre of the European project and whether it is again too soon to talk of a pan European Identity rising above the old nationalist banner of self determination.

Syria Uprising: Asma al-Assad, For Whom Power Doth Crush #3

Re-framing reality is a game most dictators and their wives indulge in. It offers solace, a justification for passing their guilt to others. This is usually towards people they are supposed to serve and protect. There is never any doubt in the mind set of these people that citizens are nothing but a brutish, lowly rabble, lacking appreciation of their masters and all they have done for them.

Asma al-Assad goes shopping for luxury goods in Paris and London while her
dictator husband stays at home to brutalize Syrian resistance to the regime. Facebook 2012 

Being devoid of anchors to reality, while society disintegrates around them, is the story of most failed dictators. It peppers history.

Asma al-Assad's shopping spree for luxury goods in London, Paris and Dubai while her husband brutally crushes dissent and uprising, is proof of the delusion which finally grips the dictators circle.

When it comes to her murder and that of her husband Bashar and his brother Mahar it possibly may be their very inner circle which administers the deed if and when the wolves of the Free Syrian Army get close to the ballroom doors.

That is price for leaving the real world to dance with a power which drugs its victim. The Assad trio may continue for some time to bombard Syrian people and inflict suffering. But for whom, power doth crush has mostly the same outcome. The music stops, the dance is over and and the drug effect wears off. You are lead away from the dance floor to meet a man with a gun. 

E.U. Crisis: And Then There Was 2 For Confederate Nations of Europe. Germany Ponders Euro Future

UK and Czech Republic form the tiny but growing block I refer to as the Confederate Nations of Europe. This confederacy is the counterweight to the federalist rump core led by an empowered Germany and the central Euro sphere. Both groups share concern for Europe's interests and the interests of citizens. They differ in policy over the legitimacy of the Euro currency. Confederate Nations is winning hearts and minds of some in the debate. Federalist core is reassessing its strategy to maintain the Euro's future.

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

Confederate Nations of Europe become two by March 2012. Federalists
gather in Berlin to decide the fate of the Euro. Brussels is sidelined . Picture
Frankfurt Central Bank

Ireland must ratify with a referendum, Greece is looking at pulling out under the sheer weight of pain. Some in the Netherlands are calling for retreat from the currency. Portugal looks increasingly weak. And of course Spain and Italy are holed up at the Alamo....a desperate last stand against the onslaught of the cruel financial markets. Or is this just rhetoric. Bad as they are and they have behaved appallingly, the financial markets do reflect to a large degree the reality over Europe's flawed decisions.

Only Federalist Union in a pure and unselfish manner will save what will be left of the Eurozone. There will only be one question for Germany when this happens. Is she happy to provide for poorer cousins in order to save the extended family and the rewards extended families can bring. When it all comes down to it, this is what Art of Superstate is all about. Grown men know the world they live in and in Europe today “All Roads lead to Berlin.” But alas, are the city gates open for all who wish to enter.

but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born? W.B Yeats

The Irish Referendum: Democracy Fights Back: Austerity on Trial.

Lets face it, this is not going to be billed as “the Mother of all Referendums.” In fact it's a Welterweight bout. Firstly, nothing about this one rounder will change the issue of the December 2011 fiscal treaty. That's a done deal. Guaranteed to go ahead.

"So Glad I'm on this Side of the Fence"......"Yea, This is Where All the Action Is, Right"

 No! This is a judgement. A peoples examination board. A review on Superstate's performance over its first major test. Did it work well. Did it lead well. Did it support its citizens well. Did it make us proud to be part of “Dimension” Art of Superstate.”

Superstate will join the debate. The E.C.B (European Central Bank, Frankfurt) opened the response to the referendum (Peoples Jury) by creating 500 billion Euros of Q.E.2 (new money from thin air). This is on top of another 500 billion printed last December. Will it work. We don't know. What we do know is if people don't work there is no real money.

Austerity is on trial. The debates commence to assess European leadership and their medicine. Austerity needs a check-up just as European institutions need to shed some flab (greed) which has brought Western society to a standstill.

Israel Attack on Iran: Remembering the Horns of Hattin.

Did you know it is much much easier to enrich uranium from 20% to 90%, than to enrich uranium up from 3.5% to 20%. Time needed is shorter while complexity greatly reduced. European countries such as Germany, Italy and Netherlands are about six months from acquiring a nuclear bomb.

But most don't go that far because it is not necessary. The knowledge a country is on the verge of the nuclear club is enough of a deterrent. Revenge is best served cold even if you need to wait a year to retaliate against an aggressor. Now in the case of Israel rattling its sabres over Iran, who is aggressor and who the unprovoked victim. Does it ever matter.

An attack by Israel against Iran will unleash a torrent of catastrophic backlashes across the middle east, ultimately leading the collapse of the Jewish State. The big player in this scenario is the by product of 20% U-235 enrichment. Depleted Uranium. A high explosive used by US and UK forces in the Gulf War One , Bosnia War, the Bombing of Serbia and the Iraq War.

Back on main street: Russia's Vladimir Putin describes an attack on Iran as
"If it happens the consequences will be truly catastrophic, The real scale is impossible to
imagine. Picture Krakow 2009 

It is interesting that Hezbollah fired off some 3970 rockets into Israel during the 2006 conflict. Essentially they were pretty weak but still terrorised the population. Hezbollah now claims to have over 50,000 rockets. Should these weapons be armed with depleted uranium then Israel has a genuine military problem. Use of Nuclear weapons against a conventionally armed opponent would not be acceptable as well as unwise in such a confined space. Indeed this tiny strip of land had always been difficult to defend for long periods. Most of Israel’s population and infrastructure facilities are within reach of Hezbollah's rockets.

It is only time before the armies of the Islamic states match themselves against the West. Should Israel decide to renounce diplomacy and attack Iran and then the result will be something like the following scenario..

On July 2^nd 1187, Saladin, plotted to lure Guy de Lusignan king of Jerusalem into leading his Crusader army from the safety of his defences. So, he lay siege to King Raymond's fortress at Tiberias while the main Muslim army of 30, 000 men remained at Kafr Sabt.

He had calculated he could defeat the crusaders only in an open battlefield rather than besieging their heavy fortifications. Guy de Lusignan, was goaded into this action by the warmonger Raynald of Châtillon during a council of war that evening. The following day Guy marched the Crusader army north towards Tiberias. From the outset they were constantly harassed Muslim archers on horseback.

By noon on that day, the 20,000 strong Frankish army had advanced six miles towards a spring at the village of Turan. There was still some nine miles to Tiberias. With only a half day of marching time remaining, attempts to leave this sure water source while under the constant attack of Saladin's army, would be considered foolhardy. For unknown reasons, Guy set out that very afternoon, marching his army forward.

After the Frankish army left Turan, the Muslims began their attack in earnest. Saladin sent a pincher around the Frankish force seizing the spring at Turan, blocking any Frankish line of retreat. This manoeuvre would provide Saladin with his victory. In the ensuing struggle, the Frankish rearguard was forced to a standstill by continuous attacks, halting the whole army on the plateau at the Horns of Hattin The crusaders were forced to make camp while being surrounded by the Muslims. They now had no water nor any hope of receiving supplies or reinforcements.

Behe ad-Din from that time describes the situation of the Frankish army:............ "They were closely beset as in a noose, while still marching on as though being driven to death that they could see before them, convinced of their doom and destruction and themselves aware that the following day they would be visiting their graves."

On the morning of Saturday July 4^th 1187, the Crusader army was totally decimated by the Saladin's Saracens thus ending the Kingdom of Jerusalem and further effective Christian power in the Levant. It had lasted ninety years.

E.U. Crisis: Superstate in Peril: Democratic Media Turns on Troika. Backlash #3

Analytic minds from London to Tokyo to New York point towards a Greek exit from the Euro. They suggest a tailored Marshal plan to help re-structure the country over a long time frame. It happened before in Europe. But this advice is ignored by the EU leadership. Pride and Prejudice blur the vision and chilled the heart. They never accept an error of judgement and now they are caught between a rock and a hard place.

And insofar as it is their job to comment on such matters, the democratic media turns on the E.U. The signs are glaring. The EU project “Dimension” Art of Superstate” crossed the line they say, and is in real danger of being declared “Enemy of the People.”

Fortunes of War: Poverty returns to A Balkan Trilogy. Picture 1993 Post Communism

Greece now looks to the rest of the world like a defeated and occupied country. It signs Declarations of Austerity to the Financial Warlords of Banking. The conditions imposed to remain locked inside the Euro prison camp resemble War reparations towards a victorious conquering leadership.

How it is played out will shape the next tomorrow and that tomorrow may very well belong to nationalists and patriots. Money is just money...You print the stuff...like Banks do always.........or make it up out of thin air.....like Banks did recently......You punish common citizens for the mistakes of Banks...Never...

Euroskeptics Now An Organised Force: Brussels Fiddles with Apathy. Backlash #2

Dr Simon Usherwood, Senior Lecturer in Politics, Department of Politics, University of Surrey U.K. heads up the Collaborative Research Network on Euroskepticism. The findings are interesting reading for both the embattled Euro Federalists and the rising Euroskeptics.

One of the things Simon Usherwood notices when talking to an EU “Fonctionnaire,” or to most people in the ‘Brussels bubble’ for that matter, is the language: Suddenly, we are in a world of jargon, acronyms and values. “European integration is good,” the officials say “a goal to which we can work.”

While the European Union has striven to democratise itself, it still finds it difficult to open up to other voices, especially when those voices do not agree with their policy or doctrine.

One of the consequences of this elitist control has been the emergence and rise of Euroskepticism.

Under siege, 49 organisation have TEAM across Europe to challenge

 EU legitimacy. It is now suggested Brussels dismantles the

 wall of silence towards the Euroskeptics.Picture: Leopold park, Brussels. 2012

Over past years these skeptics were either marginalised or ignored, often despised by a number of EU officials who palmed them off as misinformed or populist.

But not anymore. Embedded skepticism is now a persistent part of the European Union. Over a third of respondents in a recent Euro-barometer survey felt no benefit from membership of the EU over the past ten years and more importantly, levels of trust in all EU institutions have plummeted.

New anti EU pressure groups are getting organised across the continent supported by ever more substantial resources. Look at the mission statement of The European Alliance of EU-Critical Movements and their criticisms of the Union.

“What unites Europe's citizens is a common belief in the principles of democracy - as requiring representative government, citizen participation, transparency, accountability and free and fair public debate. We regard the current development of the EU as a manifest threat to these principles.”

In National parliaments soft skepticism challenging individual policy, fiscal integration and enlargement can now be found in many mainstream parties throughout the Union.

The response to date from the Brussels Bubble has been largely, one of indifference, a passive reliance on the fog shrouded machinations of the huge EU complex to get their way. This apathy pushes the project's leaders further into a blanket of mist and beyond the view of most citizens. “Instead of the old parlour game of naming ten famous Belgians, try naming ten famous pro-Europeans” asks Usherwood.

Euroskeptic success in pointing out the shortcomings of the EU has eclipsed the overall Union package deal and the benefits of integration. At times, it is hard not to feel that the EU has brought much of this situation on itself.

In the face of this challenge, there is a need to act. For too long, the existing structures and systems have been attacked, leaving them like hollow shells of their former selves. Can anyone still argue that the solution is simply to give more powers to the European Parliament, or to launch another information campaign? Part of the answer, Usherwood argues, lies with the skeptics themselves. This is not because they have all the answers, but because they ask important questions.

Usherwood says there is a strong case to be made for listening to the Euroskeptics to address their fears and concerns and that engagement might result in a more stable and legitimate Union.

All political systems have to balance three fundamental features: legitimacy, effectiveness and efficiency. Skeptics strongly favour the first of these, while Federalists push for the last two. However, what makes for a stable system is a balance between all three and currently the Union does not look to be serving any of them particularly well. The view is that things will get worse before they get any better.

The central argument is simple. By engaging with Euroskeptics in all their diversity and contradiction, the Union will be better placed to improve its legitimacy in the short-term and its effectiveness in the longer-term.

Euroskeptics might not have the solutions, but their their growing presence demands Federalists attention and eventually, their involvement in resolving the present Impasse.

E.U. Crisis: Financial Markets V Democracy: The Return and Rise of the Populist Backlash.

Members of the now disbanded Magyar Gárda explain their reasons for joining the movement in 2009. But have they really gone away. 

So I became a Public Enemy: “Without laughter, life is not worth much”

Public Enemy Monika is a 20 yr old university student. She decided to join the Magyar Gárda for the reason she simply had had enough. At first her father refused to support her joining the ranks of the Public Enemies but as things got worse he changed his mind.

“Democracy itself is a good thing,” she says. “But unfortunately this is not the case in the present House of Hungary. People are being led by the nose. Today only traces of equality, democracy, freedom of speech can be found in our society. The most important values of a public enemy are those of honesty, trust, mutual interests. And, of course the humour. Without laughter, life is not worth much.

So I became a Public Enemy: “the most effective way is personal example”

Public Enemy Imre, is a married 43 yr old retired warrant officer and father of three girls. I came a public enemy because it became possible to express in deeds my commitment to my country, and to my nation. His wife and daughters are proud of their father.

“It is enough to think that over the past years official financial terror has run amok causing stress to the people in the name of democracy. According to my democracy this is not compatible with human relationships and human values. We will not voluntarily walk to the slaughterhouse but will resist with a fight.”

Corporate Populism takes root across Europe 2012. As always the question is Quo Bono.
Source: Magyar Garda  website

Europe's far right is embedded in opposition to multiculturalism, freedom of movement for weaker citizens and a range of phobias from feeling threatened by what people wear to how they chose to speak and pray. This is an emotional acrimony to worsening social conditions and political failures. A rallying call for action, or in revolutionary parlance, “Resistance”

The question is asked, who will join Right-wing Populists into a war with multiculturalism, citizen mobility and archaic phobias. The answer is simple. It matters not. For this is not a true fight, it is merely, “A backlash without a cause.”

Today, western society's perceived tyranny fuelling popular “Resistance” is towards the financially motivated class of people who have over the past decades mixed economics with politics. They (Financiers) are convinced that control of society by economic force will maintain their privileged positions to create money without actually producing anything other than a virtual service. They work to make this situation a dominant and unchallenged system of order to enable their role as lord and master over citizens. Fine if they give any compassion to people and their lives who are making them the new Pharaohs, but they don't. They harbour only contempt for the common people and their love for democracy.

Does anyone in these upper echelons, after all history has shown us, truly believe they can win.

It starts with concern, moving to anxiety. This is followed by outbursts of rioting, violence and emotion. When this fails it is all about the Who. Who follows. Always the Who. Who plans and executes the final move to “Cold Resistance.”   

E.U. Greek Crises: A Very European Character, To Hell or Connaught with Democracy.

While discussing poverty over a fine dinner in Belfast 2004, my Greek friend said to me, “When you have nothing to sell you end up selling yourself to survive.”

It instantly triggered a comment during a conversation some 16 years earlier with the former director of publicity for Sinn Fein at a catalytic event which changed attitudes and shepherded peace talks.

“Rather be poor and free.” The comment came moments before a car carrying two off duty British army soldiers crashed into an IRA combatants funeral in West Belfast. The subsequent minutes were ones of chaos, confusion and murder.

Eurozone Freakout # 9

The European Union is dying on its feet. 

It is being force led by bankers and financiers who put …..

Money,  Über alles , Merci Beaucoup 

while the Greek people are made to suffer indignity. 

There is a deep conflict of character behind the two statements. Both represent the chilling degree of actions people go to maintain existence and under what sky that existence is acceptable.

You see, self inflicted injury is not the same as assault, even if the damage is the same.

The Greek finance minister said this week, “What has particularly bothered me is the humiliation of the country....clearly Greece can’t and shouldn’t do without the European Union but it could do without the German boot.”

Are these the words of a person who suspects he is not wanted. A citizen just humiliated by his bank manager. A desperate householder denied an extension to the overdraft but still clinging to the hope the banker sitting opposite will listen to a rant about his circumstances.

The banker, in all cases, has studied the figures and concluded this client is not a safe bet. Human emotions and compassion are irrelevant in the world of international lending. Ask those who have dealt with the IMF. A country's loss is the moneylender's gain.

Greece, Portugal, Romania, Bulgaria, Cyprus and others are being asked to join the spirit and glory of an evolving SuperState Europe.....A Europe United in Diversity......but not united in sickness and in health or for better or for worse..........They are being told expect no mercy if they don't or can't keep up with the premier division.

Europe will fail, not on a Greek exit from the Euro or possible E.U. exit. It will fail over the fear and threat to weaker member's of degrading international humiliation and destruction of their democracy.

Luxembourg's long time and well honoured leader has set the tone for the Europeanisation of national political life......”Greece must turn its budget cuts into law,... and have its major party leaders sign up to the program so they don’t retreat after upcoming elections.”

In short, Protect the lenders over the living standards and well being of Greek citizens. And to Hell or Connaught with democracy in that country.

My mind drifts to the two statement above: “When you have nothing to sell you end up selling yourself to survive!” …........“Rather be poor and free!”

Angela Merkel, De Facto Queen Of E.U. Courts a Tactical Error.

Is Chancellor Merkel making a tactical error in offering support on all fronts to get the French president re-elected. An endorsement by the de facto Queen of the European Union is a great asset for any politician embarking on a campaign trail. Appearing alongside the possible  defeated of that race will damage her judgement and the doubts will set in. The chancellor is riding high. She is needed to assist Europe pass through the crisis and to secure her own re-election in 2013.

"It's about the big responsibility we have, the construction of Europe. We are surrounded by competitors, we have to show them that we are capable, that France and Germany together within Europe can make all of Europe successful," Merkel said in a joint interview Monday with Sarkozy on public broadcasters France-2 and ZDF television. (AP)

This is true about the challenge to forge a competitive Europe. But it is not true that the people are fully behind “Dimension; the Art of SuperState.” At least not for now.

Should Angela Merkel fail over this move, she can expect no support or assistance from the next French President for her own re-election....... Endorse yes, marry no.......

Well I realise we've all been hypnotised I love your Angel eyes. Chancellor

Angela Merkel, De Facto Queen of the European Union, risks her position over 

one man. Picture 2011 

The president of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy has defended her decision. "We have gone through such a huge crisis," he argues, that "we are looking to each other in a different way than before". "What we are currently going through is... the Europeanisation of national political life." (BBC)

In his dreams say the Euorskeptiks. But there is a point for both sides. If Europe's leaders forge unity and they may be just able to do so, then there is an argument that citizens may again listen to what Art of SuperState has to offer. Working in unity would be interpreted as a success. And success breeds more success.

Rome was not built in a day and neither will “Dimension; the Art of SuperState.” Chancellor Merkel can help the “Europeanisation of national political life,” not by accompanying the probable vanquished in presidential elections but by preparing permanent working relationship between France, Germany, the UK et all to pursue the European Dimension regardless of personalities. Europe will not flounder through the vanity of one politician seeking to retain power. But it will be build on the Europeanisation of national political will to succeed, subject to the support of the democratic wishes of its citizens.  

Syria Uprising: Russia and China Strengthen Authoritarian Military Bloc

For whom power doth crush #2. Asma al Assad seals her fate as a pawn
in a wider power struggle. 2011

By vetoing the U.N. motion condemning savage bombardment of Homs city by Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, Russia and China opened a second front line against the advance of the Democracy movement towards the vast Asian Authoritarian Military Bloc. 

Moscow, Beijing, Tehran, Pyongyang and others fear democracy and citizen's freedom to criticise and protest. They are simply not ready to concede to their citizens what we take for granted in the free world.

In unbelievable candour over such authoritarian privilege the London Times reported on an email sent to the paper by Asma al Assad, wife of the man who thinks its normal to send rockets, tanks and murder teams to massacre Syrian citizens. 

The letter describes her support for her husbands regime. She endorses his actions to suppress the uprising which began as a peaceful protest demanding democracy. She approves indiscriminate killing of men women and children without accusation or trial. Asma al Assad is British born and knows very well the values of human rights over wrong.

Cleopatra fled to Syria where she raised
an army triggering a civil war.

Authoritarians who gain power are always afraid to lose it. By breaking her silence over the 11months unrest she places her allegiance with the Assad inner circle and the delusion of grandeur which accompanies dictators who defend themselves against the country's own citizens.

There will be no trial for Asma and her family, no court of justice. Just the same fate as other dictators wives. Overwhelmed and disposed off by popular evolutionary revolution.

Asma al Assad must realise Syria is now a pawn caught up in a wider struggle pitching democratic West against authoritarian East       

Should Syria's first lady have a change of heart as pleaded by the Times in its response to her letter she may have only one option, to take her own life as a protest against her husband's own suicidal pact with catastrophe. An end fitting to a tale from Roman antiquity.
