Europe: Will things be better with a European War or without a European War?

When you see the jubilant pictures on the streets at the start of World War One you see how stupid people can be when it comes to war. They were talking about heroism, adventure, glory and in the end there were piles of corpses of those seeking heroism, adventure and glory.

More than a hundred years later, we see either jubilant faces or faces of people who are oblivious to the dangers of another catastrophic war happening again.

If anything, during World War One and after World War One, and during and after World World Two there were massive changes. Don't believe for a second that life will be the same. The ways of life of today will be history. If the idea was to maintain what was, those who wanted wars or were forced to fight wars deluded themselves. Much of what they cared about was wiped out by war itself.

Britain went to war to defeat Germany and at the end, despite being classed as victorious, Britain was defeated. Families destroyed, the economy ruined, a vast amount of debt to be paid for many years to come and the colonial empire lost. Britain was one of the victors, but at what price? Most of Europe was defeated. From then onwards it was about USA and Soviet Union. For many decades to come, decisions were made in USA and in Moscow, and Britain had to follow and pay for the consequences. Today, the picture is bigger - USA, Russian Federation and China - but Britain is still forced to follow and pay for the consequences.

Adolf Hitler wanted a European Union controlled by Germany. So what is today's European Union? Which is the key country in the European Union? Who has a greater say in the European Union? Most of Europe still has to please the USA. Will war in Europe change that? Rearming Europe - we hear a lot about that - sounds like a very familiar idea. Where and when did we hear such idea before? Olaf Scholz promised hundred of billions of Euros to rear Germany. What does this mean? Will a stronger Europe be so docile? What happens when European armies are tested once again on the battlefield. Once the genie is out of the bottle it will not willingly go back into the bottle. Once German armies are on the battlefield the Pandora's box will be opened.

 

EU, Turkey, Greece and other conflicts are clear examples of the mess the world is in

EU, Turkey, Greece and other conflicts are clear examples of the mess the world is in

Conventions on Human Rights? Universal Declarations? Not worth the paper they are written on. Wherever you look, the world is a state of flux. Chaotic situations and golf post that keep changing NATO is no more than the direct consequence of widespread corruption. Dwight Einsenhower alerted about the dangers of the weapons industries becoming all two powerful.

Where there is no conflict, conflicts are created to allow the blood spilling industries to prosper. Look at the Americas, at Africa, at the Middle East and Asia Minor, at Asia itself. Of each conflict the direct consequence is massive flows of displaced populations that are used as pawns. Suddenly, border fences are erected and desperate people end up being killed. 

The present chaos cannot go on forever without causing war between other countries and Europe must get ready for war. This is not going to end up well. The very existence of NATO and of the UN, two organisations born out of World War Two, is being threatened. The Twenty-First Century is not the Twentieth Century and we find outself totally unprepared to deal with new challenges.   

Theresa May; The Plot thickens about what will be the outcome of one of the worst political crisis in British History with dramatic repercussions for EU

Theresa May: The Plot thickens about what will be the outcome of one of the worst political crisis in British History

As events come to a climax in the House of Commons with the final vote on the Brexit Deal broke out by Prime Minister Theresa May, we keep an eye on what is happening in Germany at the heart of CDU - one of the key components of the ruling German Coalition headed by Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Angela Merkel gave up his place as Leader of CDU and was succeeded by Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer that is seen as a moderate Leader that came up a winner leaving behind Angela Merkel's archenemy Friedrich Merz.

But in spite of this, it could be the case that Angela Merkel will not last until the end her term as German Chancellor that is conditional to their junior coalition partner the SPD.

When in Germany there is the equivalent of a political tsunami, in France things are getting thicker by the minute. The Gilet Jaune Movement could lead to a state of emergency of even the use of the military against protesters. If this were to happen, it would prove that President Macron on top of being one of the least - if not the least - popular President in the history of France has literally not a leg to stand on.

As Germany and France keep pushing towards forcing EU member countries to accept immigrants or face a heave price by having to subsidise countries that do accept immigrants, the situation in the remaining EU countries is not straightforward. If the Theresa May's deal is rejected by the House of Commons it will also add to the political uncertainty in the European Union piling up financial tensions. Without British money (Britain is the second most important donor to finance the EU Budget), Germany and France would have go cap in hand to ask for more monies to finance the EU budget and pay for flood immigration.

Let us remember that the budget proposed for Italy by the Italian ruling coalition was rejected by the European Union and that Italy is not fit to provide any more funding for the EU. Other countries, including Greece but not exclusively Greece don't have the financial capacity to pay more for the EU Budget either.

In the last election, Angela Merkel that barely managed to gather the votes to form a government was forced to engage in a series of negotiations with FDP and Grünen. When efforts to reach an agreement with FDP and Grünen failed, at the last minute she reached an agreement with SPD. What happened next tells the full story. In state elections in Bavaria, both the CSU (associate party of CDU) and SPD were routed in the elections. Then came CDU's turn in Hesse with comparable losses. The natural consequence was that Alternative für Deutschland has now representatives not just in the Bundestag but also in every single State Parliament in Germany. Will a fragile ruling coalition be able to extract more money from German taxpayers without causing another political rift?

At this point in time, all those who want Britain to remain a member of the European Union must ask themselves very serious questions. They need to be thinking very carefully about the kind of the European Union that is coming. Zac Goldsmith - Jewish Conservative MP - spoke very clearly about the political threats in an European Union that is in meltdown.

Britain is due to leave the European Union on March 29th 2019. For all the talk about a transition period that could go as far as 2020 in some cases or even 2022, or even become an "indefinite transition period", it is impossible to predict the kind of European Union that will be around during such transition period.

For Theresa May the date is December 11th 2019, according to the latest bit of news. But there are rumours about the vote in the House of Commons being postponed to avert a disastrous defeat that could put an end to Theresa May's Premiership leading to massive political conflicts. What will actually happen on December 11th 2019 and soon after December 11th 2019 is everybody's guess but what we have seen and heard is not reassuring.

Angela Merkel's Dilemma: If there is no Brexit deal, German car exports in danger?

A No Deal in Brexit negotiations could prove fatal for Angela Merkel as German Chancellor and Leader of CDU, after the battering suffered by CSU in Bavaria. Why? German Car Exports are vital for Germany's economy. CDU's leadership election by the end of this year will be the next thing to follow to know if Angela Merkel would still be German Chancellor by March 2019 when UK is due to leave the European Union. With the issue of Immigration as hot potato that is seriously damaging relations between EU countries, adding financial uncertainty at a time when German taxpayers will have to be asked to pay more to replace the monies provided by the United Kingdom to the EU is not the best move. Having said that, what would then be Germany's choices?

Considerations about the political future of Angela Merkel and of the ruling coalition are on the horizon. After performing very badly in a Federal Election, Angela Merkel firstly tried to form a coalition with FDP and Grünen. When this failed to produce a viable coalition, Angela Merkel reached out to try and persuade SPD to come on board. Looking at results in Bavaria, both CSU and SPD lost badly and Grünen was one of the winners.

Now, this is the political map. CDU is in coalition with CSU and SPD (both losers in Bavaria's election) and CSU could be forced to form a coalition with Grünen in Bavaria. What kind of policies can come out of such political mix?

More than ever before, Angela Merkel needs a deal to protect the German Car Industry to keep the German economy on track to be able to increase its financial support for the European Union. Factor 1: Germany needs whatever financial contribution it can get from a successful deal with the United Kingdom. Factor 2: Germany needs to make sure that its German Car Exports are not dramatically affected. There are reports indicating that Germany could lose up to 57% of its Car Exports.

Whatever happens elsewhere in the European Union, Germany is the country to look at. Germany was a key country to form the Common Market, later called European Community and now called European Union. If Germany falters, the entire project would be in danger.

There are many pieces of the EU puzzle. France is another key piece and President Macron is nowadays of the most unpopular Presidents in the history of France. His approval levels have fallen dramatically. Italy is at odds with EU. On the one hand, Italy desperately needs to spend to maintain some kind of economic stability and avoid a political meltdown but its budget needs to be approved by an EU that doesn't like big deficits. No one would have enough resources to salvage both the French economy and the Italian economy while other minor players like Greece are themselves in dire straights.

The EU desperately needs trade to stay afloat. Much of the "intransigent approach of the European Union" is based not on real strength but on fear. The European Union is big but very slow. There are far too many differences and inconsistencies between European Union countries.

A good Brexit Deal benefits all parties. A No Deal could simply accelerate the process of disintegration of the European Union.   

Time for Britain to stop subsidising EU and to protect its own citizens

Britain: Time to stop subsidising EU

Looking at unemployment rates across the EU, Britain has one of the lowest, if not the lowest, rate of unemployment. This means that on top of the monies Britain has been sending to EU, Britain is taking unemployed people from all over the EU and many of them are sending money back to their own countries of origin.

Despite such generous arrangement, countries like Italy, France, Spain and others are struggling and Spain in particular registers one of the highest rates of unemployment. What will Brexit change? For once, other EU countries will have to make a bigger effort to give their own peoples fairer working arrangements to lower local unemployment.

For Britain, Brexit is a big opportunity to focus its energies to raise standards in the United Kingdom by giving its own employed and unemployed a greater chance of success. Like me, many families in the United Kingdom have children who are struggling because they face unfair competition in the workplace. Many employers prefer to employ foreigners at lower rates instead of offering opportunities to the local British population.

One particular market that thrives in the United Kingdom is Prostitution. There never were so many Romanian and Asian prostitutes. Unable or unwilling to find conventional jobs, many choose or are forced to engage in one of the oldest professions. Many can hardly put together two English words in one sentence. What makes this possible? Freedom of Movement. The Pimps no longer need to forge travelling documents. They simply rent or buy property in London, for example, bring in a few girls and they are in business. Without immigration limitations, crime prospers.

Controlling borders is not just about National Security. It is about maintaining living standards and public health. Can countries like Romania compete with the United Kingdom? Surely not in the present economic environment. Richer countries become a magnet for undesirables, we import somebody else's misery and downgrade Britain in so doing.

Greece is yet another example. In most countries, people pay taxes. You cannot have public services and decent living standards without paying taxes. Countries that don't have a culture of paying taxes end up borrowing and borrowing even more to be able to keep public services. A country with a glorious past on which the foundations of Europe were built is now of the most indebted countries in the world, unable to sustain its own population and now flooded by imported misery from the rest of the world.

When we import people without qualifications, with values that have little to do with our own values, we import misery and this is why crime and deprivation are rising. Not long ago, a Pakistani-born Lady Peer denounced that certain Muslim individuals are importing wives from the subcontinent and using them as cash cows to benefit from the British welfare state. The women, many of whom don't speak the language of the country, are using to procreate children. The more children they have the more money they get from the Treasury, money that end up in the pockets of their pseudo husbands. They are basically slaves in a country that is on record as having abolished slavery.

The institution of marriage has been devalued allowing Muslims to keep several pseudo wives. This is detrimental for those directly affected by such misery but it is also profoundly detrimental and dangerous for Britain.

We hear over and over again about honour killings and forced marriages. We also hear about widespread gang rape. These are the symptoms of a society that is falling apart thanks to flood immigration and political correctness.

Brexit should not only be about controlling our borders. Brexit should also be about getting rid of undesirables that are exploiting the system using women and children to violate the most fundamental values of a civilised modern society.

Islam has become a depraved political ideology that perpetrates atrocities at the very heart of Western Societies. The very same societies that were seen as a safe haven to escape from the depravity and cruelty of Islam are falling victims of Islam and, because of this, tensions are rising and innocents are suffering.

A welcoming Europe is now turning into an angry Europe and real refugees are suffering and losing out because of depraved individuals that are colonising Europe acting under false pretences.

President Donald Trump visits UK

President Donald Trump visits UK

President Donald Trump is due to arrive in the United Kingdom on July 13th 2018. On the build up to the Presidential visit, the British Broadcasting Corporation who visibly doesn't welcome President Trump has been broadcasting a series of programmes that attack the reputation of the American President given credence to individuals who have made all kinds of accusations of a personal and private nature against President Trump. The timing of the broadcast shows very clearly the animosity of the BBC and a deliberate attempt to promote a climate of confrontation. 

Police Forces in the UK have raised the alert about the potential for civil unrest given the fact that the British public is divided in terms of supporting or opposing President Donald Trump. Despite this, the BBC has continued his very well organised campaign of provocation that will certainly undermine the efforts of Police Forces in the United Kingdom to prevent the unthinkable.

The Mayor of London himself has engaged in provocation by supporting the idea of putting a provocative balloon in the air with the aim of adding logs to the fire. Sadiq Khan has been blatantly unable of dealing with rising crime in London and seems determined to promote crime of a political nature in the streets of the capital city.

All this is happening at a time when the United Kingdom is going through a political process that has heightened tensions. Some members of the public therefore need little encouragement to get involved in acts of violence as a way to show their frustration whatever side of the political arguments they are in. It is therefore advisable that mass media and political authorities don't do anything to make things worse than they already are. We all benefit from peaceful demonstrations as long as they don't become a battlefield.

There are many important issues to talk about. Undoubtedly, what we call Brexit is inextricably linked to the relationship between Britain and the USA. If in an effort to reach an agreement with the EU, Britain were to accept conditions that would not allow Britain to trade freely with the US and with the rest of the world there would be extremely serious repercussions. It goes without say that British public opinion is extremely divided but it must be added that vested interests and ideological stances stand on the way of solutions that would benefit all parties involved.

We are  either all winners or we are all losers. Looking at developments in the continent, it is self-evident that what remains of the European Union is very much disunited. Whether we speak about France, Italy, Greece, Hungary, Austria or Poland - for example - the cracks are plainly visible. The disagreements are of a very serious nature. In Germany, there is a very fluid political situation that could be made even more serious if Germany fails to agree a deal with the United Kingdom. German manufacturers for whom US and Britain are crucially important customers are closely watching developments that could damage German industry leading to mass unemployment at a time when the issue of immigration is leading to a change of the political landscape.

Not everyone of those taking part in demonstrations is fully aware of the whole picture and of the consequences of No Deal. Not many are fully aware that the EU has a lot more to lose if there is No Deal.

   

EU has no borders

In an European Union of 28 countries, who controls its borders: everybody and nobody.

The announcement by a Greek politician and member of the ruling coalition that Greece will open its borders to anybody wanting to reach the European Union - including those suspected of involvement in Islamic Terrorism - should the deal concerning Greek debt fall apart is a worrying development but it is not new.


In certain EU countries, EU passports have been for sale in the open market for quite a long time to the point that as soon as somebody gets access to any of the 28 countries that today make up the European Union the said person has access to the entire European Union, including the United Kingdom.

There were no border controls regarding citizens of member countries and there are de facto no border controls regarding people coming from outside the European Union and this is a self-evident issue of National Security. As soon as you get right of residence or nationality in any of the EU countries you have access to the entire EU.
