The European Union: True Motives
By Daryl Dominic Tan
Formed in 1957, The European Union stands today as one of the largest political unions in the world, encompassing over 27 member nations. Established chiefly for economic reasons and to create a more efficient trade system between countries, the EU has been viewed as a helpful and necessary governmental body for European nations undergoing debt crises through lending its helping hand. However, like most federal bodies (including the United States), are the true motives and goals of the EU kept secret?
Perhaps it would be heresy to draw parallels between the EU and the USSR, but wouldn’t it be fair to say they are both similar in many eerie ways? For example, both have similar organizational and governmental structures, there are certain ideologies being instilled on member states, expansion is evidently inevitable, and most importantly, member nations are gradually being subjugated. As British politician, Roger Helmer, said, “both the USSR and the European Union have decided to create structures that ignore the identity and aspiration of the people,”
Certain critics of the European Union have come forward with harrowing tales and horror stories about the EU. One such man is Vladimir Bukovsky, a 63 year-old former Soviet dissident, who told news papers and journalists that he had uncovered confidential documents belonging to the Soviets that confirmed the existence of a “conspiracy” to turn the European Union into a totalitarian chimera.
Another conspiracy theory that usually springs to mind during discussions about the supposed chicanery of the EU is the rise of the "Fourth Reich". As revealed in a rumored US Intelligence Report entitled The Red House Report, allegedly discovered by a man named Adam Lebor, it briefly describes how Nazi officials met clandestinely in 1944 and knowing Germany was going to lose the World War II, conspired to engineer a Fourth Reich – as quoted by Paul Joseph Watson “a pan-European economic empire based around a European common market.” Sounds utterly familiar doesn’t it?
Adam Lebor has also stated that“although the Third Reich was defeated militarily, powerful Nazi-era bankers, industrialists and civil servants, reborn as democrats, soon prospered in the new West Germany. There they worked for a new cause: European economic and political integration,”
Whether or not Mr Bukovsky or Adam Lebor were telling the truth, the mere thought of slowly seeing a large political entity with unwavering influence over the global economy metamorphose into an autocratic federal regime sends shivers down many people’s spines. For now, the EU seems to be well-received and largely supported by economists all over the world. But if these conspiracy theorists happen to know more than the regular joe, all we can do is watch, wait, and be wary.
