A Fascist Dictatorship will emerge in Greece in response to the hubris of the Socialist unions...within two years.

The same pattern will develop in country after country in the Socialist EU, while much of eastern Europe is spared.

It COULD even happen here inside this decade.

Why do imports and exports have to stop, just because Customs walks off the job? Let the business of Free Trade ROLL!
