European Union Ready to Dissolve Nations and become Tyrannical Super Power

[Celery7]

There is an article about this on express.co.uk

Euro-MP Paul Nuttall, of the UK Independence Party, said: “This is a truly ridiculous idea that must never be allowed to happen. It sounds as if they are trying to go back to the days of the Holy Roman Emperor.”

Ah, Steve, I hate to tell you this, since you did such a great job on the chart, but Scrapetv.com is a satire 'news' site, like theonion.com.

That news story about the European Union is fake. It's a good fake, but it's fake.

Well that figures. Just went back and had a look at both the news site:

• which doesn't make very clear it's mockery and nonesense if that is what their reporting on some otherwise serious issues is reduced to, and
• their correspondent, who reports on news events around the world. A rather strange and yet offensive 'joke' if that is what their site publishes.

I'm a bit naive in that I don't find exploiting other peoples' misery, hardships or difficulties a means of 'humor' and 'satire'. Hence my posting. Regardless, it would appear their reporters have some idea of a potentially 'tyrannical' outcome for the continent, even if it is in jest.

Well scrape tv may be given to publishing caricature of real-life events in the news (The story of the boy who cried wolf comes to mind) but that doesn't in any way negate what could become of the rapidly changing political dynamics unfolding across Europe, looking forward, as the following articles clearly show.

Angry European Voters Head to the Left

It has been a weekend of major change in the European political landscape with elections in France, Greece, the UK, Germany and Italy.

In France left-wing Francois Hollande has swept to power beating Nicolas Sarkozy in a win that was far more narrow than the polls had suggested. As he replaces the Conservative Nicolas Sarkozy at the Elysee Palace, Hollande will be watched closely by investors given he is now the second most important elected official in the euro zone.

Investors have worried that Hollande’s relationship with Angela Merkel could be tense at best and worry that differences of opinion on how to solve the debt crisis could lead to political and market uncertainty.

In Greece the ruling coalition saw its support fall sharply and head to hard left and hard right parties who oppose the conditions imposed upon the country by its recent EU/IMF bailout. The conservative New Democracy and Socialist PASOK, who have dominated Greek politics for decades, won less than 40 percent of the total vote combined according to exit polls. This would mean they cannot form another coalition and it will be very difficult for either party to do business with the two big winners of the election.

The Left coalition, which could claim second place in the poll and beat the socialist PASOK party into third place, was the big winner of the vote and will be unwilling to form a government that does not attempt to renegotiate the terms of Greece’s bailout with the EU and IMF [cnbc explains] .

Ahead of the vote its leader Alexis Tsipras told the Observer Newspaper in the UK that "Merkel should worry and Europe should hope in us."

“If the politics of austerity continue, Europe is in big danger of breaking up. These policies are causing unhappiness, unemployment and poverty, as in the 1930s. Europe needs social solidarity and not to work according to market laws."

The big parties will also find it difficult to deal with the far right Golden Dawn Party which won between 6-8 percent of the vote and will now enter the Greek parliament, the first time such a party has sat in the building since the fall of Greece’s military dictatorship in 1974.

If a majority coalition cannot be agreed upon, then Greeks are likely to have to go back to polls before the summer is out, adding huge uncertainty to the euro zone at a time when Spain’s debt problems already has the market on edge.

It is not all about France and Greece this weekend. In the UK late last week, local elections made life very difficult for David Cameron’s coalition government and offered hope to Ed Miliband’s left wing opposition Labour Party. Cameron’s Conservatives won 31 percent of votes at a national level and his coalition Liberal Democrats won just 16 percent. Divisions are appearing among lawmakers who are now very worried of losing their seats in a general election.

As one right wing member of Cameron’s team called for someone to challenge his leadership before the year is out, the UK Chancellor, George Osborne, used an interview on the BBC and an op-ed in the Mail on Sunday to get back on message following weeks of bad press on everything from Rupert Murdoch to the National Health Service.

Europe has reached a watershed moment and leaders need to refocus

By now you will know the result of the French Presidential election - and it could be momentous. We are at a watershed moment - not only in France but across the whole of Europe.

The post-war political model is breaking down. And about time. For the political elites have failed the people they are supposed to represent.

People are worried sick about the economy. At the moment, anxiety centres on the problems of the euro. That is understandable. It is the great issue of our day. But it is not sui generis. It is the latest in a long line of European failures.

It wasn't willed by the people but was rather thrust upon them by their leaders, without sufficient thought or preparation. They have created a monster which threatens to destroy the European economy – and with it, to threaten the world.

Knowing little or nothing of economics, these European elites have acted almost precisely against the interests of Europe – obsessed with treaties, agreements and restrictions – in pursuit of commonality.

Across Europe the people are stirring. Will the elites respond? If not, we are we going to be faced with something very ugly. The combination of economic collapse, lack of faith in political institutions, xenophobia and racism could be deadly.

Obviously time will tell how this pans out.

Yes certainly, feel very free to. No copyright here! Would love to get good hard information out for people to see and consider bible prophecy and the times we are witnessing. As mentioned above, really, amazing!

Thanks awesome!!!

Thanks awesome!!!

No worries Seas Shelly. But I hasten to advise, as I later found out as per end-page one on this thread, that the site I sourced this information from is given to satire news. So they take real-life news stories and create caricatures of them. I didn't know about this at the time I posted, and I feel sorry for posting it not realising.

Still, the irony that they present developments in Europe as such, that it reads like something directly out of bible prophecy, is probably a notch up from mere coincidence. It shows, at least, what some imagination of current events in Europe could lead to in reality.
