The EU Rip-Off
Tom Sunic
June 19, 2009
The June 2009 elections for the European Parliament were held against the
backdrop of global recession and a serious economic crisis. The behavior of
voters in Western Europe was also influenced by a large number of
non-European residents whose number now exceeds 20 million people. Given
these circumstances, it was expected that nationalist parties from 27 member
states would score major gains. In fact, they won 30 parliamentary seats in
Brussels. The worst nightmares of establishment Euro politicians and their
well-paid scribes came true.
Despite an uncivilized media smear campaign against “rising neo-fascist
parties,” accompanied by non-stop stories of the “danger of anti-Semitism,”
and despite taxpayer-funded advertising against the so-called right-wing
radicalism, the prose and the sermons of EU insiders did not have much
effect on the behavior of a sizable chunk of the European population.
In addition, the entire EU election was a joke as the voter turnout all
across Europe did not exceed 30 percent. With more than 70 percent of voters
not showing up at the polls, the credibility of the EU is now in serious
jeopardy.
In Eastern Europe, nationalist parties, such as the Jobbik in Hungary and the PRM in Romania, are quite happy after securing two seats each respectively in the EU parliament. Their constituency is finally discovering that the answer to former communist mind control is not the Western pipe dream about the end of history or quick Hollywood-like prosperity. Unlike docile West Europeans, voters in Slovakia, Hungary and Romania were less constrained by the canons of ethnic sensitivity training and media self-censorship. Many of them want to keep their countries racially and culturally homogenous and appear to have had enough of Western prattling about free market miracles.
Krisztina Morvai, the attractive Christian nationalist lawyer and head of the Hungarian Jobbik, did not hesitate to reply to a comment by a "proud Hungarian Jew" that she fomented hatred and should be banned from politics:
I would be greatly pleased if those who call themselves proud Hungarian Jews played in their leisure with their tiny circumcised dicks, instead of besmirching me. Your kind of people are used to seeing all of our kind of people stand to attention and adjust to you every time you fart. Would you kindly acknowledge this is now OVER. We have raised our head up high and we shall no longer tolerate your kind of terror. We shall take back our country.
Krisztina Morvai, MEP for Jobbik
Communist terror in post-WWII Hungary, whose main ringleader was a communist strongman of Jewish origin, Mátyás Rosenfeld aka Rákosi, is still too fresh in the collective memory of the Hungarian people, making the country less susceptible to being intimidated by the pc vernacular, which has become a trademark of Western Europe.
The following description gives a flavor of the public perception of the Jewishness of Hungary's post-WWII government (links added):
Beginning in 1953 but increasingly since Khrushchev’s Secret Speech, some Hungarian communists claimed that the mood in Hungary was increasingly anti-Semitic, and that it was necessary for a non-Jew (or as they put it delicately someone of “Hungarian nationality”) to replace Rákosi (and later Gerő). Much hatred among the Hungarian population was directed against the “big four” Hungarian communist leaders who dominated Hungary in the postwar period, who all happened to be Jewish: Mátyás Rákosi (Róth), Mihály Farkas (Wolf ), József Révai (Lederer), and Ernő Gerő (Singer). During the June 1953 meeting in Moscow, Beria had derisively alluded to Rákosi as a “Jewish king.” According to a telegram written during his visit to Budapest in June, Suslov also considered the number of Jews in the top leadership to be a real problem. [Vladimir] Kryuchkov, too, reported the issue as a problem .... [János Kádár told [Yuri] Andropov that only during Rákosi’s arbitrary rule did Jewishness become associated with the regime, implying that once Rákosi was dismissed, anti-Semitism would dissipate.
Europeans without Europe
The founding myths of the European Union are the credo of the free market
coupled with the civic religion of multiculturalism and antifascism.
The chief architect of this ideology of “Europeism” was the late
Jean Monnet, a
French-British agent and a big-time arms peddler, who helped secure the
Allied invasion in Normandy in 1944. The dominant idea behind the creation
of the European Union was to keep Germany harnessed while tapping into its
Prussian work ethic and financial largesse. One-third of the EU budget tab
is footed by German taxpayers. Seen from perspective of international law,
Germany is still at war with the Allies. It is certainly no accident that,
unlike any other member state in the European Union, including the other big
two — the UK and France — Germany has no privilege of holding a referendum
when rejecting or endorsing EU treaties. Germany has no choice but to accept
the decisions of the European Commission, with the obligatory nodding of its
nondescript parliament, the Bundestag.
On the institutional level the European Union is shaped very much like the
multi-ethnic former Soviet Union or ex-Yugoslavia. European Parliament
apparatchiks, whose number has skyrocketed to 736 deputies, all of them paid
about $120,000/year and enjoying a multitude of perks, are
proportionally elected according to the size of their
countries. The EU Parliament resembles the Supreme Soviet, while its
powerful 27-member executive body known as the European Commission, mirrors
the former Soviet Politburo.
In 1992, shortly after the launching of the founding EU document known as
the Maastricht
Treaty, and shortly after the beginning of the break-up of
Yugoslavia, the European Commission did not hide its unhappiness at the
dissolution of the artificial and multi-ethnic Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia
was cherished
for decades as a role model of multicultural conviviality for the
never-ending growth of the EU.
The proto-totalitarian nature of the European Union was already depicted by
the former Soviet dissident Vladmir Bukovsky who
saw in it the
exact replica of the Soviet Union: “The sooner it collapses the less damage
it will have done to us and to other countries.”
There is no such thing as “economic integration,” which the EU likes to brag
about on all wavelengths.
East European member states sell their goods and services for ridiculously
low prices.
They also provide low salaries to their domestic workers — between a half
and a quarter of the level of Western Europe. The corporate taxes in East
Europe are much lower than in Western European member states, where they
average between 20 percent and 30 percent.
But the Western European economy is not in much better shape. The European
Union is witnessing a new wave of relocations, especially the outsourcing of
jobs. This penalizes the West with more unemployment, while transforming the
East European states into cheap workshops.
Bad news appears daily. In 2007 the EU enacted harsh “hate speech” laws
patterned on the German Criminal Code and its dreaded Section 130, known
under the bizarre doublespeak compound noun
Volksverhetzung
(mistranslated as popular incitement),
which can get a scholar or a journalist in jail if he questions the
viability of multiracialism, let alone voices doubts about the veracity of
the Jewish WWII victimology. By 2010 all EU member states are mandated to
apply hate speech legal provisions, which will in practice mean that a
European citizen, if convicted of a verbal violation in country A of the
European Union can land in jail in country B of the European Union. In fact,
this is already the case. Such laws also apply to US and other non-European
citizens who show too much curiosity about the details of contemporary
history.
The enactment of hate speech laws in the EU is reminiscent of the communist
Criminal Code in ex-Yugoslavia. The communist judiciary of this now-defunct
artificial state had for decades resorted to similar legal meta-language,
best visible in the paragraph highlighting "hostile propaganda" found in
Article 133.
This Yugoslav communist verbal and legal abstraction — “hostile propaganda”
(neprijateljska propaganda) — could mean everything and
nothing. It could apply to any suspect — regardless of whether a suspect
committed acts of physical violence against communist Yugoslavia or simply
cracked a joke critical of communist hacks.
Constitution without Constituency
There are problems with the Euro semantics too. Unfortunately, there is no
such thing as “Europeans” or the “European people,” given that most
Europeans define themselves by their own
genius loci,
by their tribe, or by their nation — Irish, Flemings, Brits, Germans, Croats
etc. What does the Portuguese EU Commissar, Manuel Barroso, the head of the
European Commission, or the forever-unshaven EU “foreign minister” Xavier
Solana, who stutters his ukases in broken English, know about the plight of
fishermen on the Greek island of Rhodes? A Romanian shepherd from
Transylvania could not care less about the Brussels bureaucracy. No wonder
that in such an environment huge scams and money embezzlement are not
exceptions but the rule — already
well reported by many mainstream media.
In America, by contrast, given the linguistic unity of its population and
the absence of inter-European squabbles, White American nationaIism has an
advantage over different European nationalisms, which are often at
loggerheads with each other. American constitutionalism, despite its often
hypermoralistic verbiage, is well-anchored in the heritage of the Founding
Fathers and has been barely subject to change, as exemplified by the concise
wording of the crucial First Amendment. On top of this, the fact that one
single language is spoken in America — however much it can lead to cultural
leveling and academic mediocrity — provides an ideal tool for racial unity
among all Euro-Americans. By contrast, each attempt to frame a pan-European
constitution for all nations in Europe, even if the intention may be good,
is well nigh impossible. It would require that the EU ruling class learn of
30 different European languages and develop a sense of empathy for dozens of
distinctly different national mythos.
Without
a well defined parliament which is fully accountable to an informed
constituency,
the European constitution turns into an oxymoron.
Alain de Benoist
writes that European nations are unable to relate to EU elected
representatives, which means that there cannot be a European constitution:
“The term 'constitutional treaty' is already contradictory. A constitution
is a text of a particular type deemed necessary for everyone, while a treaty
is a simple contract between states.”
This explains why EU bureaucrats over the last 5 years have been obliged to constantly revamp the first constitution drafted in 2004, often couching this in fancy names or using verbal dissimulations to further con European peoples into a poorly defined entity known as the EU. The new version of the old revamped constitution, presented a few years ago as the “Treaty of Nice” — in an attempt to better lure recalcitrant member states — bears now another pompous code name: the Treaty of Lisbon. Several issues keep delaying its adoption by all EU member states. Under EU rules, a treaty cannot come into force unless all 27 member states ratify it. Constant reshuffling of the verbiage of the draft constitution carried out by Eurocrats is unconstitutional and very undemocratic indeed.
Which European Union?
The idea of a united Europe is as old as Europeans themselves. Caesar toyed
with the idea, as did subsequent Roman emperors. In the ninth century the
Germanic-European king
Charlemagne tried
to unite all European tribes from the North Sea all the way to the Danube
basin and further down to the Black Sea in an attempt to create a common
European bulwark against invading Arabs and Asians. In the sixteenth century
the Spanish-Flemish-Germanic King Charles V assessed the apocalyptic Turkish
onslaught against central Europe well, and worked desperately to strengthen
the united Christian European homeland.
Stalin and his communists had their idea of a united Europe too. So did German Nationalist Socialists and their European allies. Over 400,000 non-German European SS volunteers, from Finland to Albania, from Spain to Belarus, including dozens of Americans and several hundred Brits fought in Waffen SS uniforms. On May 1, 1945, in the Berlin inferno, the remnants of the French Waffen SS division Charlemagne were the last to put up resistance against incoming Bolshevik troops. The French battalion had 320 to 330 men. The high command was held by the French Hauptsturmführer (Captain) Henri Fenet (1919–2002), holder of the Croix de Chevalier de la Croix de Fer (Ritterkreuzträger). Along with the French fighters, there were a few hundred other European Waffen SS fighters, including several dozen Latvians, as well as 350 Spanish Waffen SS under the command of the Sturmbannführer Miguel Ezquerra Sanchez.
Robert Forbes: For Europe: The French Volunteers of the Waffen SS
The fighting for the National Socialist version of a united Europe stopped
on the breezy night of May 1, 1945 at 11pm at the corner of Wilhelmstrasse
and the Prinz-Albrecht Strasse, near the headquarters of the
RSHA, which was only a
few hundred yards from Adolf Hitler’s bunker. The last shot in the European
capital of Berlin was fired by a drunken Soviet soldier, killing the young
French Waffen SS volunteer
Roger Albert Brunet — on May 2, 1945.
