No Country For EU Men

Anyone who still believes the European Union is anything other than a building block toward a totalitarian one-world government is either willfully blind or inexplicably dense. Many errantly believe the EU was created to build a union of independent nations, and they continue to harbor this belief even when leaders from the European Commission and the European Parliament openly declare the opposite. Case in point, outgoing EC President Jean-Claude Juncker, who recently uttered the following remark about Viktor Orbán, the Prime Minister of Hungary.

When asked whether the outgoing EC president considers Orbán a European leader, Juncker said, "He’s a Hungarian leader!” stating ”…his number one concern is his country, not Europe. And that is a huge mistake.”

And if 'nationalist' leaders like Orbán are subdued and removed from power in the future, and the EU becomes the nationless superstate it wants to be, I suspect EU leaders will be criticized in the following manner: "He's a European leader! His number one concern is for Europe, not the World Government! And that is a huge mistake!"

Note: Though it can serve as a temporary bulwark against the manifestation of a totalitarian one-world government, I do not believe nationalism alone can save any country, particularly in the West. I also think those working toward a totalitarian one-world government believe this as well, which is why they usually do not take extremely hard measures against nationalist sentiments when they appear. The Establishment know they can use nationalism to their advantage as well if need be. In the end, the only thing they would truly fear (and the only thing that would truly work against their plans) is a religious renaissance, which helps explain why the EU refused to even mention Christianity in its constitution and other founding documents.

"... either a complicit member of the System or is willfully blind."

Although I agree with Dr. C's claim that "things are coming to a point," I'm not quite ready for the dichotomy you describe there.

I still see evidence of what used to be called many years ago "useful idiots"; good-hearted people who are honestly duped for various reasons.

I see so many people who are near totally outer-directed, as opposed to inner-directed. And that is not a strict dichotomy either, but rather a spectrum.

The System, media and academia mainly, is now totally equipped where the brainwashed are brainwashing the young, and then through the media, keeping them brainwashed. So many levels are programmed/brainwashed, that I conclude that you have to go up pretty high to find truely complicit people who actually know some or most of the actual but unstated end goals.

Those middle and upper-middle level people, capable of rational analysis, likely merit the _willfully_ blind label. But the lower-middle and the outer-directed masses, I think have mostly just been tricked, and have fallen victim to the salemanship.

@Bookslinger - Thanks for the insightful comment. I reread the post and realized that complicit line was not what I had intended to communicate. I also realized it doesn't make sense, because a person who is fully complicit would be aware of their complicitness to a certain extent and would know what the EU aims to do. I have changed the line.

I agree with your overall assessment of people being duped. I also believe most people just do not care about these things - that they do not see any relevance in it. Having said that, this utter lack of interest in these matters does, in my mind, point to something more than simply being tricked.

I agree. Especially about not caring, not seeing relevance, lack of interest. That ties back into Dr. C's point of incorrect metaphysical assumptions (ie, no religion). Once someone has been duped into disbelieving the existence of Creator/spirit/soul/afterlife, that opens up the path to all sorts of lies that eventually lead to nihilism.

Atheism is the gateway. That is also the theme of Solzhenitsyn's Templeton address, of how the Russian revolution and communism/totalitarianism took hold: "Men have forgotten God."

The speech is here, and the intro will be familiar, as the writer of the intro is also from a former Soviet satellite country:
https://orthodoxnet.com/blog/2011/07/men-have-forgotten-god-alexander-solzhenitsyn/

It's quoted a lot, which you can see by doing a web search on:
men have forgotten god solzhenitsyn


Some say the world is in a state like 1939. But if we had to pick a past year, I agree with those who say it's more like 1913.

@ Bookslinger - I have nothing but reverence for Solzhenitsyn and have written about him several times on this blog.

When asked to explain the difference between Western and Russian literature, Solzhenitsyn offered the following observation, "Western literature is about careers; Russian literature is about good and evil."

Sadly, I have been unable to relocate that quote since coming across it twenty years ago.


In any case, thanks for including the link. If people have not read the Templeton Address, they should. Not only is it deeply profound, but it is also ominously prophetic.
