Do not resist evil

[YinYang]

I just assumed the dangers of centralised power is the oldest lesson in the history books. Roman empire, Mongol empire, Ottoman empire... Aside from the EU "experiment", the closest modern day example would be NATO. Most likely the PR machine will go into overdrive with its fear mongering and doom profiteering - the sky is falling! Followed by requests for the UK to reconsider, since Britain's financial injection is nothing to sneeze at.

If Lord Rothschild is a little pissed it can only be a good thing, a small victory for the 99%.

Who Runs the European Union?

The Great European Rip-off: How the Corrupt, Wasteful EU is Taking Control of Our Lives -  David Craig

In this EU election year, it's time for people across Europe to look at what really goes on in Brussels in our name.

It has been estimated that the EU costs us around £1,000 billion a year - an incredible £2000 for every man, woman and child in Europe. So what do we get for our money? Politicians and administrators selflessly working to bring us efficient government? Well-targeted regulations that promote economic prosperity? A safe and free society? A well-protected environment? Help for people in poorer countries?

Or is our money being squandered by a self-serving euro-elite of unaccountable politicians and incompetent bureaucrats, or else devoured in a feeding frenzy of fraud and corruption where a few lucky insiders become unimaginably rich at our expense? And is the tsunami of regulation pouring out of Brussels in reality strangling industry, destroying jobs, restricting personal freedom, desecrating the environment and further impoverishing the developing world?

Using their extensive network of insider sources, David Craig and Matthew Elliott smash through the secrecy and disinformation that are the Brussels hallmark to reveal what our European rulers are really getting up to. The result is a horrifying story of bureaucracy, hypocrisy and kleptocracy - and how we are all suffering as a result.
