According to the European Union itself it is founded on the values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities.

But what about reality?

Globalist José Manuel Barroso was president of the European Commission from 2004 to 2014. He said things like: Today Europe can propose the principles and rules that will shape a new global order and how the European Union can contribute to global governance and the European Union as an example of international and transnational governance for the world talking about attachment to globalisation and international integration. Martin Feldstein said that the primary political motive for increased European integration is to enhance Europe's role in world affairs. Etcetera.

Later we heard about Barroso that he has been one of the revolving door cases at the EU, which received the most media attention because only two months after the cooling off period, Barroso accepted a position as "senior adviser " and "non-executive chairman" of Goldman Sachs International and became subject of an ethics inquiry.*

The European Union is about power and globalization by the hands of its corrupt power elite who took more and more control over European nations and beyond. This goes hand in hand with a decline of power of nation states and an increase of power of international or global entities. More power for the power elite, less power for the people. Globalization is essentially anti-democratic and the EU is a prime example of it.

The EU has shown that states can come together and form a collective, in terms of sharing laws, currency, security, and other areas that are usually under the control of a singular nation state. Consequently, the traditional view of sovereignty has especially been challenged in recent years. Since the EU is made of different member states, in order for the EU to have power and sovereignty, the member states have given up much of their sovereign power.

Globalization undermines sovereignty. The European unification process was and is unique in history because it entailed a partial surrender of national sovereignty to a common European institution, something that had not happened before in the European history of nations.

Friedrich Nietzsche wrote the following about globalization and Europe...

A higher species of men which, thanks to their preponderance of will, knowledge, wealth and influence make use of democratic Europe as their aptest and most mobile tool, in order to bring into their own hands the destinies of the Earth and as artists to shape 'man' himself.

According to fanatic globalist Winston Churchill...

We must build a kind of United States of Europe.*
France and Germany must take the lead together. Great Britain, the British Commonwealth of Nations, mighty America, ... must be the friends and sponsors of the new Europe.*
We must endeavour by patience and faithful service to prepare for the day when there will be an effective world government resting on the main groupings of mankind.

Powerful globalists were instrumental in the creation of the European Union.
In 1923 Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi founded the Paneuropean Union.
In 1947 the United European Movement was founded by Winston Churchill and his son-in-law Duncan Sandys and Józef Retinger. At the inauguration of his United Europe Movement, Churchill first stated his support for a United Europe “in which our country will play a decisive part.”*
In 1948 the Congress of Europe took place, organized by Duncan Sandys and Józef Retinger. It is noteworthy that this initiative had been primarily organized by British politicians.* In its opening speech Churchill talked about the design for world government.*
In 1952 Jean Monnet founded the European Coal and Steel Community.
In 1954 Józef Retinger founded the secretive Bilderberg Group.
Robert Schuman was instrumental in building post-war European and trans-Atlantic institutions and was one of the founders of the European Union, the Council of Europe and NATO.

One of the stated aims of unification was to compete with the United States and the Soviet Union, but it was rather meant to strengthen the Anglo-American Empire economically and weaken the Soviet Union, pretty much like NATO was intended to do militarily. Powerful globalists on either side of the Atlantic played an important role in the creation of the European Union, especially the British globalists represented by Winston Churchill. The Marshall Plan led to the creation of the OECD. The Marshall Plan also marked the entry of Western Europe into the consumer age while Americanization and Atlanticism boomed. See also CONspiracy.

If you want to avoid paying taxes and have no problem with dicey business practices, Europe has a lot to offer.*

The EU power elite have created a tax haven empire for the super-rich. Before Jean-Claude Juncker was promoted to head of the European Commission in 2014 he turned Luxembourg in Europe's leading tax haven as minister of finance. In 2014 the Guardian reported that Juncker has dedicated his career to ensuring that society becomes less fair; that wealthy institutions and individuals can avoid the taxes little people and small businesses must pay.*. He was involved in the so-called Luxembourg Leaks, revealed in November 2014, and the Juncker spy scandal*. In June 2014: As Jean-Claude Juncker prepares to be named president of the European Commission, questions are being asked about the spy affair that forced him from office less than a year ago.* In November 2014: Politicians in Brussels have maneuvered to save him from the scandal.*

You might reasonably suppose that the more democratic a country’s institutions, the less inequality it should support. Rising inequality means that resources are concentrated in the hands of a few; they should be ever more easily outvoted by the majority who are left with a shrinking share of national income.*

The EU has a population of almost 450 million. In 2022 the European Commission reported that there were around 95.3 million people in the EU at risk of poverty or social exclusion.* In 2021 Forbes reported: The wealth of Europe’s billionaires has risen to hit $3 trillion, ... they are $1 trillion richer than a year ago, suggesting that for the hyperwealthy, the pandemic year has been lucrative.* The super-rich who own the world's largest multinationals made profits with their exaggerated COVID-1984 while the small to medium sized business suffered. In 2024 OECD reported: labour taxes rise across OECD countries amid persistent inflation. The common taxpayers are paying more and more taxes. A win-win for the power elite, a loose-loose for the common taxpayers. See also Inequality.

According to the fanatic pro-EU Robert Schuman Foundation: the aim of the European Constitution was to improve the efficiency of the Union's institutions and make them more democratic. More democratic?

Despite a massive pro-EU propaganda campaign instigated by the globalist EU elite, the people of France and the Netherlands voted a clear "No" with the democratic 2005 referandum in France (55% No) and the Netherlands (61.6% No). This resulted in the UK elite to cancel the UK referendum and the Danish elite to cancel their Danish referendum in order to prevent an even larger loss of face for the EU elite. Eventhough the government of Ireland signed the "Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe" on 29 October 2004 without the consent of the Irish people, a poll showed that the people would massively vote against it and the planned referendum in Ireland was also canceled. Referenda are clearly not the kind of democratic tools that these globalist elite like.

The democratic deficit is a lack of legitimacy in that EU decisions are not sufficiently responsive to public preferences and scrutiny. This gap between elite opinion and public opinion on European integration has also been established in more empirical terms showing differences in the areas in which political elites and European publics are willing to confer power to the EU.

The constitution was superseded by the Treaty of Lisbon. The UK Parliament ratified in 2008 without holding a referendum. The Danish parliament ratified the Treaty of Lisbon without a referendum. Etcetera. Despite the clear rejection by the European people the EU elite simply continued with their EU constitution after canceling all subsequent referenda. On 13 December 2007 the leaders of EU member states simply signed the Treaty of Lisbon which amends the two treaties which form the constitutional basis of the European Union. In 2008 the Irish people were asked to vote for the Treaty of Lisbon and they rejected it by a margin of 53.4% to 46.6%. Not happy with the result the EU elite planned a second referendum...

The EU and its army of pro-EU puppets in Ireland flooded the country with propaganda. According to the Irish Times an EU meeting took place on 19 March 2009 to discuss how the Commission can influence Irish opinion in the lead-in to Ireland's re-run of the Lisbon referendum next October.* The fanatically woke and lesbian pro-EU Foreign Minister of Ireland, Micheál Martin, said on 19 May 2009: Ireland will need to run a more intensive campaign in favour of the Lisbon Treaty than last year, when voters rejected the European Union’s reform pact.*

To come into force, the Treaty needed to be ratified by all EU member states, so when Ireland rejected the Lisbon Treaty in a referendum in June 2008 there was intense debate and speculation about the future of the Lisbon Treaty. The EU decided to take measures to encourage Ireland to ratify the Treaty: a number of 'protocols' were negotiated and added to the Treaty. Ireland then successfully ratified the Treaty following a second referendum in October 2009.*

The same happened in other European countries. For example the Dutch government started a massive pro-EU propaganda campaign in order to influence the people's vote while suppressing any critical discussions which might have a negative impact on their desired outcome. The EU Constitution episode is a good example of managed democracy.

The new EU reform treaty text was deliberately made unreadable for citizens to avoid calls for referendum... Speaking at a meeting of the Centre for European Reform in London on Thursday former Italian prime minister Giuliano Amato said: "They [EU leaders] decided that the document should be unreadable. If it is unreadable, it is not constitutional, that was the sort of perception".*

Valéry Giscard d'Estaing said: The Treaty of Lisbon is the same as the rejected constitution. Only the format has been changed to avoid referendums. Jens-Peter Bonde said: The content of the new Treaty was the same as in the rejected Constitution, but the format had changed from a legible Constitution to two sets of incomprehensible Treaty amendments. Michael O'Neill said: The Constitutional Treaty was barely readable. James Melton said: European constitutions are more difficult to interpret than constitutions from any other region of the world.*

The European power elite made it incomprehensible* so the European people would not even bother to try to understand it. Explaining its contents was not part of their propaganda, on the contrary. The content of the treaty is essentially the same as that of the rejected constitution. Here's more about the globalist EU elite and their desired constitution...

We know that nine out of 10 people will not have read the Constitution and will vote on the basis of what politicians and journalists say. More than that, if the answer is No, the vote will probably have to be done again, because it absolutely has to be Yes.*

Jean-Luc Dehaene declared it "dangerous talk" to want too much "transparency and clarity" in the EU. Transparency and clarity are essential to democracy and that's clearly not what these globalists want. Dehaene turned his focus to Europe and played a key role in brokering an EU constitution. After referendums in France and the Netherlands rejected it, many parts of the plan were taken up by the Treaty of Lisbon that currently sets EU policy. "It made me proud," he said.*

The Treaty represented yet another deceitful and arrogant imposition of a revolutionary federalist agenda by the European elite aimed at minimizing national sovereignty and ignoring the clearly expressed desires of the European peoples.

According to globalist Jean-Claude Juncker...

We decide on something, leave it lying around and wait and see what happens. If no one kicks up a fuss, because most people don't understand what has been decided, we continue step by step until there is no turning back.*
If it's a Yes, we will say 'on we go', and if it's a No we will say 'we continue'.*
When it becomes serious, you have to lie.*

A professional liar like Juncker in such an important position says a great deal about the EU and the power elite in control of it.

The EU constitution is the birth certificate of the United States of Europe.*

The first picture shows the European Parliament in Strasbourg. The second picture shows The Tower of Babel by Pieter Bruegel the Elder next to an early EU propaganda poster. According to the story of the Tower of Babel, a united human race in the generations following the Great Flood, speaking a single language and migrating eastward, comes to the land of Shinar. There they agree to build a city and a tower tall enough to reach heaven. God, observing their tower and wicked plan, confounds their speech so that they can no longer understand each other, and scatters them around the world. The symbolism is obvious. It symbolizes the will of the power elite to bring back all nations under one world government. The EU is all about globalization.
