We Europeans have a government that hardly anyone knows, that most do not want and that are intangible to them; in other words, that are even more unintelligible to the voters than our party representatives are already. From a legal perspective, the EU is a hybrid, a legal monster that is very hard to grasp because it is neither a federation of states nor a federal state. For example, the EU has, in contrast to NATO, no treaty that is valid for any amount of time. Out of the Amsterdam treaty came the Maastricht treaty, then the Nice treaty came along out of which the Lisbon treaty evolved. In the end it is always only an alteration of the previous treaties that are always agreed upon in quick succession, so that nobody knows what is valid at any point in time. It is evident that every one of these treaties only ever lasts for a few years; even though commonly international law treaties are implemented for a duration of 20 years and that a possibility of extension is granted once they expire.

In the case of the EU one would have to speak of a democratically not legitimized council dictatorship because the decisions made within the EU are made in committees, councils and commissions. Originally in 1957, it was the EEC[47], then the EC[48], which had been so tainted at that point already with negative associations like milk lakes and Butter Mountains, subsidy fraud so that it became the EU[49]. The name sounds more capacious and better, European Union has a ring to it not unlike the USA, however the basic construct of the EC continues to exist and has never been disestablished, it was simply a name change. Democracy never was the goal of the initiators of the community. Jean Monnet[50], one of the founding fathers of the European Union, said it very plainly: “I hate democracy!It is totally uncomfortable”.[51]

And Jacques Delors, the former president of the EU Commission verbalized it like this nearly 20 years ago: “Had we done it democratically, we never would have come this far.” He went on to say that 50 percent of all laws in the EU come out of Brussels, in respect to economic laws it is 80 percent. In other words, the not exactly unimportant economic laws decisions are made in Brussels by a margin of 80 percent, and then the elected party representatives, namely the parliaments of participating countries are disconnected.[52]

One of the darkest chapters of the EU was pushed into the background that one had to undertake pretty substantial research in order to stumble upon it. In the year 1999 a vast amount of strong accusations regarding deceit, corruption, nepotism and mismanagement were made against the EU Commission.

The Belgian newspaper „La Meuse“ for example was one of the press bodies, which uncovered several scandals of the Commission. The publisher of the paper happened to be robbed and beaten up by masked and armed men.

This however was not an isolated case; many others that had reported about the internal fraud and corruption affairs of the EU Commission were intimidated with violence. Among them the Belgian businessman André Hardy, who had half of his teeth beaten out of his mouth with a baseball bat after he decided to blow the whistle on the company Perry Lux with which he cooperated in Brussels. The EU Commission had hired illegal employees via the Luxembourgian company and its offshore subsidiaries, making millions of Euros disappear in the process.[53]

What also disappeared was the entirety of the bills and receipts of the Office for Humanitarian Aid for the years from 1993 – 1995. The total sum was estimated to have been 2 billion Deutsche Mark. In the meantime two things have changed: First of all we now have a different EU Commission and secondly such events are no longer reported on in the media.

There is however one EU rebel left: Nigel Farage, who does not mince his words as an MEP and openly speaks and protests against the forced EU dictatorship. He asked the President of the European Council, Herman van Rompuy: “Who elected you? (…) Sir, you have no legitimacy for this job…”[54]

It was this sort of questions with which Nigel Farage made himself very unpopular at the council dictatorship in Brussels. One could see the plane crash of a small two-seater plane in which he was travelling and survived with injuries in this context.

The EU regents, who were attacked by Farage, are really only minions in the end who act out what they are told by their handlers. Behind the EU exists – unbeknownst to the public – a secret shadow government, the so-called “European Round Table of Industrialists”, founded by 17 leading European industrialists in 1983, that has continued to exert huge influence over the happenings in the EU up to the present day.

In the year 1986, the alliance between the EC Commission and the ERT (the power of corporations) had been agreed upon, which played a major role in the increasing centralization of Western Europe. Already in 1985 the ERT demanded that the single European Market was to be completed with a single currency.

What few people know is that in the spring of 1991, the ERT published a detailed roadmap for a European currency union. This in turn had astounding similarities with the Maastricht treaty that was reached in 1991.

Especially interesting in this context is the overlap of people involved in both the ERT and the Bilderberger Group that is shrouded in legend. In the steering committee of the Bilderberg Group there always were ERT people. Those in want of a steep political career needed to hope for an invitation to a meeting of one of these groups in order to then act according to the motto: “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you!”

One example: The President of the Bilderberger Conference in 2011, EU Commissioner and Head of the CFR, Mario Monti, became the new strongman in Italy. He is a new face to the voting public with the hope to lead it out of the financial crisis, under the same guise as always. He is not the only beacon of hope to the common man because there is also the President of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, as well as Loukas Papadimos, the head of the transition government in Greece.

One thing connects these three men, the common former employment at the investment bank Goldman Sachs that was heavily involved in the financial crisis.
