Is anybody surprised at how the EU is handling the UK's brexit departure? Or how Spain is handling the Catalonia referendum?
If you think the way the EU is handling brexit is just an anomaly, then
take a look at the Catalonian referendum that's taking place. As of
this writing, more than 337 people have been injured by just standing in
line to vote.
The Spanish government has sent police officers to
disrupt the voting and to seize the ballot boxes. Spain plans on
prosecuting over 700 Catalonian mayors and Catalonia's President Carles Puigdemont is facing criminal charges for organizing the referendum.
Brussels is worried that if Catalonia is successful it will start a domino effect across the EU Bloc.
Just look at when Greenland voted to leave the EU. This took over three
years and Greenland had to make concessions so it isn't 100% free from
the EU. It looks as if the UK's departure from the EU will be just as
long.
This point is an important point because the whole point
behind the EU was arguably was to finish the reunification of the
German Empire which fell apart in 1918. This is also arguably the goal
of Jean-Claude Juncker whose father and father-in-law were Nazi
sympathizers. Surprisingly enough, Juncker's side-kick Angela Merkel who
has been wildly described as the de facto leader of the European Union
also has unsubstantiated ties with Nazi Germany.
Democracy in the
EU? There is no such thing. All nations that join the EU looses it's
nationality and culture. They have no laws of their own; they are under
the thumb of Brussels.
Being a member of the EU is like being a heroin addict, its easy to get hooked but nearly impossible to come clean.
