As Democracy Dies in the EU, Von der Leyen Reveals its Sins

Excerpt:
"It’s no secret at this point that the EU is an anti-democratic organization. The leadership isn’t elected, but selected from a pre-determined pool of candidates from within the Party structure.

Everyone with the power to make a decision was placed there not by popular vote but by backroom collusion.

As we approach this weekend’s Italian elections there is real despair in the air that there is any light out of this dark time. That no matter what decisions we try to make, they are only in service of those that seek total dominion.

And yet all you hear from these Eurocrats is that we are in a “war of Democracy versus Autocracy,” as EU Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen put it in her hellish EU state of the union address to the European Parliament recently.

Cloaking herself in the inverse of the EU flag’s colors to show solidarity with another anti-democratic regime, Ukraine, Von der Leyen and her merry tribe of vandals in Brussels cast themselves as the protectors of the sacred right of a ‘democracy’ they deny to anyone who disagrees with her.

The same can be said for nearly every major government in Europe. Every time an ‘election’ rolls around the local system is gamed to ensure a particular outcome. The political establishment always coalesces around maintaining the status quo, freezing out any possibility of an ‘unworkable’ or ‘representative’ coalition.

Any outcome they can’t overcome that lies outside the scope of the EU’s values is either laden with poison pills, immediately put under pressure by the EU’s Byzantine rules, and eventually forced out of office.

There is no better example of this anti-democratic structure made flesh than Italy.

For more than a decade Italians have been saddled with mostly-unelected technocratic governments who, at best, stymie any populist/sovereigntist impulses within Italy’s electorate or, at worst, advance the EU’s centralization agenda under the false rubrics of Climate Change and “European Values.”"

-------------------------------------------

"saddled with mostly-unelected technocratic government"

Does this sound familiar?
Americans are NOW "saddled with mostly-unelected technocratic government."
When will Americans find the courage to kick the GOP-Demo Party to the curb, execute the traitors, and return to the liberty guaranteed in our constitution?

          I'm not quite as stocked as you are, mhubb, but working on it. I'm sure you didn't list everything, but one thing I keep around is a few face cord of wood. Small solar panels to charge batteries is a good idea, thanks.

            i got some small panels
            the USB packs i am now buying have their own solar in them
            and i got 6 120 watt panels from eBay
            i figure in winter, they will give 240 watts average combined (less sun, angle of sun, ect)

            no place for wood here, i have several of the man made logs, for the fold up wood stove, will give time to go look for more, there are trees around that i can get for next year if needed

            it is a new home, no fireplace (a gas fire place that i have the marine batteries to run)

            i things that use the small propane tanks and can refill them from the large ones, the adapters can be found at Walmart also

            i am thinking this will be like Leningrad, 1942-43

              I think I've seen those solar USB chargers in an ad. I'll go back and take another look. I have 3 working wood fireplaces in my house and a wood stove in the garage/workshop. I usually use only one fireplace on the lower floor much of the winter. The wood stove is wonderful. I used to heat the workshop with kerosene but the moisture would condense on tools and equipment causing a rust problem. Wood heat is dry heat with no moisture problems.

    Demonocracy SUCKS, just as Dobrian's post proves, our forefathers to Plato had no love for it.
    The left clings tightly to the ruse because it has allowed them to be in power.

    Democracy DIES when it becomes too democratic, when morals, ethics, hard work and responsibility are ignored.

    "Everyone with the power to make a decision was placed there not by popular vote but by backroom collusion." Now, why does that sound soooooooo familiar? Elected officials may come and go, but the entrenched bureaucracy lasts forever.

    "Mostly unelected" because Congress has put so much power into the hands of the Executive Branch, with this act or that. They like it when it is their party, and they hate it when it isn't ... or when it is an outsider seeking to reduce government powers.

      Not to mention
      1) the outright theft of some of the 2020 elections, and
      2) the fact that the Deep State selects which candidates are allowed to run in both the GOP and Dems
      (except, possibly Trump and Rand Paul.) So the people have no choice of the people to represent them,
      and those who are candidates only represent the Deep State and corruptocracy.

        Great word, corruptocracy. A perfect description of this country's leaders and their entrenched bureaucracy. Unfortunately, this also the case with every nation on earth.

        So right!

        Did you see Liz Cheney's latest? She'll switch parties if Trump wins the 2024 primary. WTF? She will change from the pretend party of small government to the real party of complete socialist totalitarianism just because she doesn't get her way. How are people listening to this person, who is nobody, except the daughter of a douche bag? Go back to obscurity, you fat white worm of Wyoming (sure she is from WY /s/).

    Hello, Ursula von der Leyen was before "Secretary of Defense" here in Germany. She made "consultancy contracts" for many million €uros with Mc. Kinsey, because her son David von der Leyen is "working" there. But the corrupt Ursula von der Leyen had not to go into prison because corruption. Instead of prison this criminal looters selected her for EU commission President. I wish you all the best, perfect health, very much success and good luck, happyness, with heartly Greetings Hans from Germany

    Ursula von Ribbentrop is going to witness quite a few deaths this winter, now that Russia has turned off the gas spigots and her serfs are going to freeze to death this winter.
