„It is only sixty-odd years in Europe.. since the restauration of peace, democracy and legitimacy, with the foundations of economic prosperity put in place.

Yet Europe now is a continent of widespread economic misery, of financial collapse, of disappearing faith in ‘mainstream’ political parties and rising support for ‘extremist’ parties, of a loss of sovereignty and thus of legitimacy and democratic control, and of the destruction of law, both domestic and international, by the judicially larcenous European Court of Justice.

Perhaps worst of all, the relations of amity and cooperation among European countries which could be .. observed thirty or forty years ago have been replaced by a return to mutual resentment, distrust, jealousy, contempt, ridicule, anger and even hatred.

This is what ‘Europe’ has wrought; and its most destructive instrument, along with the ECJ, has been monetary union.

The dreadful suffering caused by monetary union is now apparent to everyone.

Even the noxious European Commission no longer tries.. to claim, as it did so fraudulently in its 1999 propaganda classic, One Market, One Money, that the European Monetary Union is beneficial in terms of economics…..

The European Union deserves to be known as the New Soviet Union, or NSU…..“

„Es gibt keinen wesentlichen Artikel des EU-Vertragswerks, den die EU unter Ursula von der Leyen nicht verletzt hätte.“
