Thanks for that RG.
Below is a link to an article by one of your faves, Fay Voshell.
It’s not for faint of heart but well-written.
I shall be meeting with Fay soon. Anything you want me to say to her?
Fay is simply awesome and in this piece she pulls no punches. She tells it like it is.
Tell her I hello, keep doing the great work she does and don’t stop fighting the good fight.The forces of evil will not win.
Here is a clip from your link.
“The fatal flaw of the European Union has been its leaders assumption that human beings and nations can be regulated and managed as easily and thoroughly as cabbages are grown, bought and sold.
Reductionism is always the Achilles heel of ideological zealots, who in the case of Brussels bureaucrats, are committed to a solely materialist view of humanity and nations. We have seen the successes of the materialist view of humanity and nations in the past, most notably in the form of communist ideology, which purportedly would end all class structures and therefore all wars, as class struggle due to economic inequality was the chief cause of violence. End the class system and establish equality, especially economic equality, and peace would ensue.
The ideology behind the EU is also materialist in nature, and therefore very similar to that of communist and socialist beliefs. Equality is the goal, with the accompanying postulation that the end of nation states is a realistic solution to the internecine wars that have afflicted Europe, especially the wars of the twentieth century. Nations are seen as the cause of violence, and as such inherently evil. End national identities as once classes were to be eliminated; and establish a super state which encourages uniformity of nations along with the obliteration of differences among humans, and peace will reign. Laws and regulations for the economic union would establish equality among humans, tribes and nations as surely as one can establish the proper length of bananas.”
