EU has done well to get bigger and after that make a barrier between bureaucracy and normal folks. More power to fewer leads to internal rot and dissolution. Absolute power corrupts abaolutely.

Nice stuff Robert, again. One does get the feeling that phantoms rule the world, that our global president is already in place and he is the “shadow” man. That the faces we see on the news are just paid Hollywood actors that pretend to govern, and that we never ever going to see the real invisible global government. This world is a terrifying place, this ghost planet, a place where the devil doesnt even have a name.

The EU is a bankers/corporate creation. It is there to serve their interests. Look how pushy they are toward integrating anyone they can. Look how pushy and nasty they are towards Belarus because it does not want to sell itself out.

Sounds and looks like the European Union elected, or appointed, two unknown people to put a humble face on a GROWING AND POWERFUL European Union. The real power is much deeper and more secret. Who better to be a puppet ruler of the E.U than someone from a politically and culturally divided nation like Belgium!Contrary to popular belief, many European nations are not as nice and democratic as people may think.

The European Union has lost all it's credibility because it does not practice what it preaches. FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS DO NOT EXIST WHEN A PRESIDENT IS SELECTED, NOT ELECTED. A fair and impartial election {not like in Afghanistan} should have been held to elect the president of the European Union. It is not democratic to cram selected president down the throats of the people without an election. There may be very dark days ahead for Europe and the people who have been bypassed by dictatorial government. It is definitely not a government of the people. It would be wise for European leaders to reverse this terrible mistake and apologize to the people.. This is their only way to vendication.
