The EU Is Operating Like A Mafia Family: Extortion and Strong-Arming Are The New Politics
IWB ^ | Mark Angelides

Extortion, loan-sharking and protection rackets are all part of the Mafia’s “Business Model”, it seems that the European Union has adopted this model in its Brexit negotiations with the U.K. After Jean Claude Juncker’s (President) announcement that Britain should pay 50 Billion Pounds to leave the EU club (family), is it any wonder that the Brits are starting to see the EU federalists as a “Godfatheresque” criminal organization.

Of course, since their constitution says nothing about the rights of the people. So they have no rights, and no power. Good thing my family left when they did.

Extortion, strong arming, kidnapping, murder, weapons deals,
opium/heroin, oil, sarin and Zyklon-B.

This is how the world normally works.

When some one speaks a monosyllabic truth and holds peoples feet to the fire and enforces the rule of law, THOSE are the “new politics”.

And sadly, the USA pays for NATO to stand guard over this racket.

Of course, the EU is unelected. Royalty has always been tyrannical. Reaping what they’ve sown.

Pay them to leave? If you are a nation, you just leave. Put what’s left of the RAF on alert if you are really worried.

Well, they have that side document called the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights; but like the rights listed in communist constitutions such as that of the USSR and Red China, the rights are “positive” (granted and taken away by goverment) rather than natural rights. As the first paragraph of Article 52 says:
Any limitation on the exercise of the rights and freedoms recognized by this Charter must be provided for by law and respect the essence of those rights and freedoms. Subject to the principle of proportionality, limitations may be made only if they are necessary and genuinely meet objectives of general interest recognized by the Union or the need to protect the rights and freedoms of others.
Therefore, any law can be written to take away a “fundamental right” so long as the elites regard it as furthering an “objective of general interest” or to give special rights to certain groups.

I’ve seen the document containing “fundamental rights”, but it’s unclear who those rights belong to. But I know free speech isn’t one of them. “Racism” is also a crime in much of Europe, and anyone can be called a racist. It’s not a difficult charge to pin on someone.

I may have misspoke earlier. My family came from Europe, but the Volga area of Russia. Russia is not part of the E.U.

You’re right about the absence of freedom of speech. Article 11 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights reads thus:
  1. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference from public authority and regardless of frontiers.

  2. The freedom and pluralism of the media shall be respected.
Nothing about speaking one’s mind, especially in public.

All governments operate on that model, supranational governments even more so.

Then why did God establish David as a king? (Hebrew “Melek” means “king”) and also promise that his throne would last for all generations, even culminating with Jesus sitting on it as King of Kings?

The “general welfare clause” is used in exactly the same way - it essentially invalidates the rest of the Constitution.

The liberals do that falsely, deliberately misinterpreting “general welfare” as “social welfare”.

The phrase “general welfare” in the preamble and in Article 1 Section 8 does not nullify the rest of the Constitution at all, in fact; that is why the progressives came up with the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Amendments, which does that to a great degree.
