Fjordman : Ten Reasons to Get Rid of the European Union — A First Draft
2008-01-22
Hello from Fjordman.

I intend to write a text called “Ten Reasons to Get Rid of the European Union” This text will be written with me as editor and contributor, but not necessarily sole writer. I will post some ideas here which can be expanded upon by blog readers. I will then post a second, more elaborate draft, make some changes to that, and then post the final version. It is my intention that this text should be translated into major European languages and be republished or reprinted in various EU countries. If you post comments here, you thus give your permission to allow your writings to be incorporated into this text and republished elsewhere.

The proponents of the European Union claim that it is a “peace project.” But the EU is not about peace, it is about war: A demographic and cultural war waged against an entire continent, from the Black Sea to the North Sea, in order to destroy European nation states and build an empire run by self-appointed and unaccountable bureaucrats. This is supported by national politicians in order to enhance their personal power, by creating a larger political entity than their individual nation states and by ridding themselves of the constraints of a democratic society. The EU thus corrupts national political elites into betraying the people they are supposed to serve and protect.

#6  Do not mistake hte point of no return with the tipping point. I'm not sure either has been reached but when/if a tipping point happens it will happen quickly.

YOu can look at all the demographic numbers in the world and that doesn't change the fact that a well armed majority could slaughter and expel people if pushed to far. The Europeans have a history of this and the longer they wait the more likely the response, if there is one, will be brutal.

#5  rjschwarz -

Whatcha mean "when" the tipping point has been reached? That point has already been reached: look at the emigraton figures from each and every Western European country? The numbers will boggle your mind. It's astonishing. We're there already.

I'm not convinced we (American blood) won't be back - again - to try to save Europe from itself. There is alot of history we draw upon in Europe...texts...manuscripts..architecture..All of which is worth preserving though it won't be the reason we go back to Europe.

If/when we go back it will be to take the nukes away from the muzzies. Put another way...to prevent the muzzies from having the nukes.

My grandsons will be the ones to return to Europe - again. We (the USA/OZ - given present trends not so much Canada) won't allow Europe to fall to islam without a fight. The question shouild be: is Europe worth the blood of more American sons. I think the answer is yes...it is.
Does Europe deserve the spilt blood of American youth? No. But that has never stopped us before.

The Defenses Must Hold.

We'll be back again. Not in our lifetime. But we'll be back soon enough. Think in terms of a Catholic Polish King named Sobieski in 1638. He answered the call and crushed the muslim onslaught. History repeats itself.

#4  I suspect that Europe will devolve into what it was for hundreds of years: individual states with mercenary armies.

This is an evolution from where they are now. To start with, there can be no EU military, because no one will pay for it, unless they control it, and there are large factions that don't want one at all.

National armies, however, are also failing, because they are too expensive to maintain along with excessive social programs. This leaves corporate and private armies such as Blackwater, and the French foreign legion to carry out national external policies.

A great secret of Europe is that these mercenary armies have never really disappeared, just moved offshore. Copenhagen is notorious as a place to secure men, equipment, and skill for mercenary operations. The leaders and NCOs were European, but most of their soldiers were African and Asian.

Mercenary armies are very cost effective, and can give individual European countries the muscle to have a foreign policy outside of Europe. I suspect that they will begin on a small scale, doing things like anti-piracy operations, then just keep growing.

#3  Nimble, that's not really a secret, at least not in America.

I imagine when the tipping point reaches the "good" Europeans will flow out to North America in large numbers and a few years later Eurabia will be born by default. Either that or lots of riots are brutally repressed and immigration ended and Mosques destroyed.

#2  A dirty little secret is that we won't go back. When a family has 3 or 4 sons, they can lose one and go on with the memory. When they have only one or two, the loss is too great. Americans (and Chinese) have too few sons and will not sacrifice them in the numbers necessary to reconquer the continent again. But we might be persuaded to find out if there's enough sand in Europe to glass it.

#1  Oh and number 11. When the crap hits the fan again in Europe and if the Americans do come back to clean up the mess a third time, there will already be a management structure for the American Proconsuls to operate the place afterwards.
