No Longer Secret: EU Puts Its Cards on the Table

This was the obvious destination for the EU all the time.
European SUPERSTATE to be unveiled: EU nations 'to be morphed into one' post-Brexit

EUROPEAN political chiefs are to take advantage of Brexit by unveiling their long-held plan to morph the continent’s countries into one GIANT SUPERSTATE, it has emerged yesterday.

The foreign ministers of France and Germany are due to reveal a blueprint to effectively do away with individual member states in what is being described as an “ultimatum”.

Under the radical proposals EU countries will lose the right to have their own army, criminal law, taxation system or central bank, with all those powers being transferred to Brussels.

David Cameron will today plead for 'constructive' talks with EU leaders in preparing for Britain’s exit from the EU.

Controversially member states would also lose what few controls they have left over their own borders, including the procedure for admitting and relocating refugees.

The plot has sparked fury and panic in Poland - a traditional ally of Britain in the fight against federalism - after being leaked to Polish news channel TVP Info.

Polish politicians say the plans include loss of control of a number of key policy areas

Polish foreign minister Witold Waszczykowski has blasted the plan

The public broadcaster reports that the bombshell proposal will be presented to a meeting of the Visegrad group of countries - made up of Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia - by German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier later today.

Excerpts of the nine-page report were published today as the leaders of Germany, France and Italy met in Berlin for Brexit crisis talks.

In the preamble to the text the two ministers write: "Our countries share a common destiny and a common set of values ??that give rise to an even closer union between our citizens. We will therefore strive for a political union in Europe and invite the next Europeans to participate in this venture."

The revelations come just days after Britain shook the Brussels establishment by voting to leave the European Union in a move some have predicted could leave to the break-up of the EU.

A number of member states are deeply unhappy about the creeping federalism of the European project with anti-EU sentiments running high in eastern Europe, Scandinavia and France.
This will definitely force member nations to either exit or become subsumed by Germany in a non-democratic union. Viable nations might exit; parasites will remain; the EU will likely become parasitized into irrelevance. The oligarchy has spoken.

I'm betting that one language, German, will prevail as THE official language. But English is still the common language between the... um... nations.

Germany "Owns" Europe?

Germany says 'won't let anyone take Europe from us'

German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Saturday that the EU would weather the shock of the British vote to leave the union as he convened crisis talks.

“I am confident that these countries can also send a message that we won’t let anyone take Europe from us,” he said heading into a meeting in Berlin of his counterparts from the EU’s six founding members.
Well. The Allies had to take Europe away from Germany in two world wars, just in the past century. Now Germany owns them anyway?

Well, that's not exactly what he said. But Germany does control the fates of EU member nations, many of which are parasitic on the fatherland. How long will the indefatigable Germans be OK with the parasites draining off the fruits of their own productivity? Is just "owning" Greece sufficient, even though it's a money pit? Or will the stop-loss clause be asserted?

UKIP Wins It's Nations Back

It's Independence Day in the UK:
Brexit: David Cameron to quit after UK votes to leave EU

It would be for the new prime minister to carry out negotiations with the EU and invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which would give the UK two years to negotiate its withdrawal, he said.

"The British people have voted to leave the European Union and their will must be respected," said Mr Cameron. "The will of the British people is an instruction that must be delivered."

Bank of England governor Mark Carney said UK banks' "substantial capital and huge liquidity" allowed them to continue to lend to businesses and households.

The Bank of England is ready to provide an extra £250bn of support, he added.

The referendum turnout was 71.8% - with more than 30 million people voting - the highest turnout at a UK-wide vote since 1992.

Mr Farage - who has campaigned for the past 20 years for Britain to leave the EU - told cheering supporters "this will be a victory for ordinary people, for decent people".
NEGOTIATE its withdrawal?? Is this like a contested divorce, where the lawyers get everything? How soon will the UK stop the flood of incoming Muslims?

This is truly exciting. Which others will follow? Not Greece, of course, they are parasitic on Germany.

Europe at the Precipice

Professor: Civil War “Most Likely” Outcome of Migrant Crisis
Low IQ of "refugees" threatens foundation of western civilization


A prominent Danish professor warns that western civilization is “threatened” by the influx of migrants from the Middle East and North Africa and that a “civil war” is the most likely outcome.

Writing in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, Professor Helmuth Nyborg, who is an expert in the connection between hormones and intelligence, discussed his previous research on how, “The effect of Europeans having few children and immigrants with low IQ” would lead to “Westerners (being) a minority in Europe, and that the average IQ drops so much that prosperity, democracy and civilization is threatened”.

Nyborg has previously asserted that low IQ migrants arriving from non-western countries leads to a decline in the average intelligence of western societies and therefore a drop in living standards and rising crime rates.

“In 2016, the current immigration policy gives us three alternatives – submission, repatriation or civil war. Unless Europe starts to lead a responsible family, immigration and integration policy, stated by the theory of evolution, I think civil war is most likely,” writes Nyborg.

Nyborg goes on to caution that simply referring to “right-wing extremism” will not make the chronic problems caused by overpopulation and failed multicultural policies disappear, warning that ethnic Europeans will be a minority in their own countries by 2050.

Ethnically homogeneous, civilized and democratic societies in Europe will be a thing of the past unless there is an “honorable repatriation” of migrants, warns Nyborg.

As we have previously highlighted, numerous prominent voices in Europe are sounding the alarm bell on the potential for the migrant crisis to explode into civil unrest and even war.

Last week, Swiss People’s Party (SVP) member of parliament Roger Köppel argued that “Europe is about to abolish itself” due to a “megalomaniac” open border policy overseen by the likes of Angela Merkel.

Last year, Swiss army chief André Blattmann warned that the risk of social unrest in Europe was intensifying and that citizens should arm themselves.

Top security experts in Germany also told Chancellor Angela Merkel last October that the middle class was becoming “radicalized” as a result of her open borders migrant policy and that domestic disorder could ensue as a result.
We live in interesting times.

Given the obvious premise underlying Islam is that the Other must assimilate into Islam, never that Islamics should assimilate into foreign cultures, then the outcome of oil/water conflict is inevitable. Undoubtedly some of the refugees will assimilate and become westernized; which ones and how many is the question. Given that entire communities hid and defended the terrorists who bombed the Belgian airport, it is surmizeable that large portions of the Islamic insurgence will not only not assimilate, but will pursue violent Islamic hegemony over their hosts.

So the options outlined by the professor seem accurate. The hosts must be assimilated into the Islamic insurgency; or the insurgents must be repatriated and removed from Europe; or there will be war waged by European citizenry against both their own Leftist government and the Islamic insurgents.

It's difficult to wage a violent insurrection against a Leftist government, when that government has removed most of the weaponry from the populace.

Thus, no EU officials need to worry much about a civil war, unless the various militaries and constabularies get involved on the revolutionary side. Probably not likely at this point.

Also not very likely is repatriation, under existing governments.

That leaves assimilation of Europeans into Islam... also not likely.

If no option seems likely, then one of the less unlikely options will occur. And civil war might just be the one.

Here's a speculation (good as any, I suspect):
EU governments will stand firm in their Leftist narratives.

Riots will occur, focused against the governments at first, then at Muslims.

Police will not intervene much except to prevent murder of Muslims.

Riots will increase to the point that the mayhem forces governments to fall, rebuild and restabilize.

Under more nationalist governments, repatriation will begin, riots will continue but start to abate.

Repatriations will escalate, until stability occurs in favor of Europe for Europeans.

EU will fall from favor, as borders are closed, ethnic values are retained, and totalitarian diktat from Brussels is ignored.

Germany will stop paying for Greek economic intransigence.
etc.
Or not. Who knows? That's why it is interesting.

Greek Entitlement

In the past several years, Greeks have taken to the streets in rioting to prevent any cutbacks in their lifestyles. Personal responsibility does not seem to be their worldview. Now a Greek senior official threatens to flood the EU with barbarians if Greek demands are not met.
Senior Greek Official Threatens To 'Flood' Europe With Migrants, Jihadists If Bailout Ends

"Greece will flood Europe with a “wave of millions of economic migrants” including militants linked to the Islamic State group if the eurozone did not back down on austerity demands, Greek Defense Minister Panos Kammenos reportedly said on Monday. His comments came even as the Greek government and its “troika” of creditors -- the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund -- agreed to hold a further round of talks over a 240 billion-euro ($260 billion) bailout program.

“If they deal a blow to Greece, then they should know the migrants will get papers to go to Berlin,” Kammenos, who founded the right-wing anti-austerity party Independent Greeks, reportedly said. “If Europe leaves us in the crisis, we will flood it with migrants, and it will be even worse for Berlin if in that wave of millions of economic migrants there will be some jihadists of the Islamic State too.”

Kammenos added that the European Union’s rules allowing passport-free travel in the Schengen Area, which consists of a bloc of 26 nations, left these countries vulnerable to the influx of migrants.

“If they strike us, we will strike them. We will give to migrants from everywhere the documents they need to travel in the Schengen area, so that the human wave could go straight to Berlin,” he said, according to media reports.

Last week, Nikos Kotzias, Greece’s foreign minister, also said during a meeting of his EU colleagues that if Greece was forced out of the eurozone “there will be tens of millions of immigrants and thousands of jihadists,” adding that the EU was trying to “crush the Syriza government in its early days.”
To further exacerbate the situation, Greece will demand German cash:
Greece to demand WWII reparations from Germany

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has accused Germany of using "legal tricks" to avoid paying World War II reparations. Germany has repeatedly said it has honored all of its obligations resulting from the war.

Greece announced Tuesday it is moving forward with a demand to seek World War II reparations from Germany, as Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras accused Berlin of avoiding repayment of damages stemming from the Nazi occupation.

"Germany has never properly paid reparations for the damage done to Greece by the Nazi occupation," Tsipras told the Greek parliament Tuesday. "The crimes carried out by the Nazis are still vivid, and we have a moral obligation to remember what the forces did to the country."

"After the reunification of Germany in 1990, the legal and political conditions were created for this issue to be solved. But since then, German governments chose silence, legal tricks and delay," Tsipras said.

Berlin, for its part, has said repeatedly that the question of war reparations was legally settled in the treaty that unified Germany in 1990, and that it has already honored all of its war obligations with a payment of 115 million deutschmarks (59 million euros) to Greece in 1960.
It's difficult to see the EU hanging together (under unelected leaders) when some sub-states are parasites, by nature sucking down the wealth generated by other sub-states.

The Greek threat is irrational, since it is obvious that the Islamic State does not report to the Greeks and will behead them as readily as any other Europeans. This renders the view of Greeks as both irresponsible and, well, stupid.
