Dutch society is slowly getting split in two.
Essentially, we have a group of networking, pro-European and highly educated ruling class of about 30% of the population and a group of family-and-friends based, anti-European and professionally educated 70% ruled class.

I really think it's time that all Europeans just shrugged their collective shoulders, admit they're all exactly the same level of "not America" and embrace the EU as it cements itself as the worlds #2 superpower. You could probably beat China, but you will never be as awesome as America.

Without the EU, the Netherlands is just kinda a "point and laugh" type of place, anyways. I look at them and I'm all like, "so puny, so not America, hell they couldn't even keep hold of their south when it rebelled." But as part of a highly centralized EU, the Netherlands is a force to be reckoned with.

Also, redhouse is a maggot pusswad.

We in The Netherlands wouldn't profit from being in the same country, as, say, the Greeks or any other country in the south for example given their debt and everything.

I've been to Athens, Berlin, Paris and other places in France and Italy and I don't know how else to put it:

They don't speak English. Even if they do speak English, it's not exactly English. So how are you going to do that with politics? In America, voters are ignorant by choice. What if you literally don't have a clue what the politicians are saying?

Yellowjacket, the EU is the paragon of the world. Nobody looks at America and says, oooh they're so awesome (I guess that word means "we have a big army"), let's be like them! No, most people in the world want to be like the EU: have a fine health service, social services, clean cities, low crime rates etc. etc.
"In America, voters are ignorant by choice."

Lol, amen. Of course, mostly that's because American political debates, ads, websites, etc. make the Webdip forum debates look productive and civil. Mostly we're trying to answer the question, "which would be better the mule or the ass?"

Dear Zmaj,

| Zmaj, Thu 12 PM
|
| Here in Croatia, everyone is more or less pro-European.

to express the same general "idea of Europe", adjectives or verbs might be more common:

- member of the pro-European faction
- pro-EU / Europe voters or parties
- who favors or supports the EU / European integration

"pro-EU and "pro-European" don't mean the same, there are parts of Europe which do not belong to the EU (e.g. Norway, Iceland, Switzerland etc.) and there are also many Europeans who are for "pro-European" reasons against the EU.

The 'idea' Europe: Europe is a special continent which applies about the western fifth
of the Eurasian land mass. It's seen geographic a subcontinent which forms together the continent Eurasia with Asia, however, it's looked for historical and cultural reasons mostly as an independent continent. This shows that the concept "Europe" wears itself out not in the geographic definition, but also rests on historical, cultural, political, economic, juridical, ideal. Europe has in the east towards Asia no unequivocal geographic or geologic border. Therefore, they are, borders Europas' a question of
social arrangement. A geographic definition of Europe is always arbitrary. After a known formulation of Bernard-Henri Lévy, Europe is "no place, but an idea". Europe of the native countries in which sovereign nation states on basis of common traditions, legal views and values unite. But on no account Europe of the centralist egalitarianism (super-state EU) in which the citizen is uprooted as relocation/offload devices.

Something like that is able from the European people hardly as worthwhile are judged. Therefore, one forces it upon us "from above" and calls it dishonest-wise democratically. The national-hostile EU or better EUdSSR has caused the opposite of that for what one hoped from this experiment once.

The undemocratic and bureaucratic monster EU (EUdSSR!) which legitimised and rules centralistically like once the Kremel, belongs to the garbage of the history. Contracts were broken; the most important column of the community, the "No-Bail Out" clause which should make sure that a participant country must not stick for
obligations and debts of other participant countries or arise. Now Germany is a member of a liability community and has been dept blame generations to keep on life this freak show EU financially like once the doomed Greater German Reich (1943-45).

The injury of the subsidiarity principle (in Article 5 established), led to the fact that about 80% of the valid legislative acts are determined by decisions, directives, orders and other instructions in Brussels. Decisions are made in big distanced from the roots, in the end, no politician also bears more responsibility for something because he can talk way out always apologetic with "Brussels". The legislative powers of the democratic control are taken away by this act.

Subsidiarity is a political, economic and social maxim which aims at the development of the individual abilities, self-determination and own responsibility. Then duties, actions and problem solutions so far as possible self-determined and should be undertaken independently, so if possibly by the singles, by the private, from the smallest group or the lowest level of an organisation form.

Without Germany the "house of cards" breaks down immediately. The 'idea' Europe was always a "Europe of the native countries", as well as it was the European community of values (EWG) before the EU. This was the right project, no lies, no anonymous super-state with rootless citizens who were pressed in an unintentional corset. Our varied culture has made us rich. After WK2 it was a great history of
reconciliation, prosperity and peace. And now with EU and Euro? Since 1945 I have never seen before Europe so bitterly divided and hatefully, nevertheless, the Euro is valid naively as a peace currency and EU a peace politic!?

For Germany the DM (Deutsche Mark) was the best to have - for ever. The Euro was only the price of the German reunion (2+4 Contracts), England and France wouldn't a more bigger German economic dominance and chained it to the Euro. Today we pay debts for the states which have lived consciously and unabashed about her relations, but they headline on newspapers our Federal Chancellor in Nazi uniform if we expect more budgetary discipline in return for services. And I know, they will not pay back anyway. I still never was so disillusioned about the 'idea' Europe like today.

The EU are in a currency war with the USA - which had to come necessarily since the introduction of the Euro. And from patriotic rating agencies flanks, the Dollar becomes life held as a leading currency by hook or by crook. It's a fight against a hydra.

Obviously Europe is now no important for the USA any more what one also sees in the behaviour of the Obama's government. According to her appraisal, Europe will play no more geopolitical role, but furthermore bear the risks of the US-geostrategical adventures, with all negative results for the future of Europe. Mission fulfilled, the Euro-Zone could break - and becomes. Well, how much I hope this.


“May you live in interesting times", says a Chinese Curse.


Gerald Celente ("The World Is Now Headed To A Major War"), director of American Trend Research Institutes this counts since 1980 to the most respectable forecast institutes worldwide and his main focuses are forecasts about global financial markets as well as historical events: He draws an apocalyptic picture for Europe: with Islamic
nightmare Eurabiaa.

If one gives faith to this American study, it will not come to the sombre Islamic nightmare Eurabia. He further wrote, the Europeans awake and from then the expulsion of the monstrous Islamic ideology from Europe seriously begins. By now the Trend Research Institute recommends to all Muslims living in Europe and Islamic groups to compile escape plans or to leave, because in Europe the history will
recur and it will come all over the country too currently still hardly tovconceivable expulsion of Muslims. To compile the recommendation "escape plans" wouldn't be exaggerated, comments the journalbat the end of the article.

They will not go certainly voluntarily, but the global consequences of a forcible expulsion aren't forecasted there: Europe had to doitself prepared on a world with front position to an Umma (Global Community Of All Muslims) from Teheran via Istanbul to Marakesch.

Some comments to the family register of the U.S. Government, because the US-geopolitics is a part of European crisis:

The supposed Arabian spring hasn't brought democracy and freedom in these countries, it wasn't intended in the US-strategy of destabilization of sovereign states appeared up to regime change to serve economic and geostrategical interests. Human rights, freedom or simply charity, so real evaluates what it repays to struggle for,
were seldom a reason for action, they were abused as a pretext. No, they are interested only if there is to get something. Whether the people suffer afterwards more badly than before, as well as topically in Syria, it is completely faded out.

How endure it responsible with itself to arm the beasts of the ISIS against an elective president Assad, the only one which protects the Christians(!) there? I saw the doom coming after Barack Obama's Cairo speech 2009. It followed arms transfer to Islamic
extremists against fairly controllable rulers. The rulers who could control with hard hand a constantly religiously charged mood in the Middle East and North-Africa of hostile islamists. By an US-President who has lied his real age and place of birth in his
vita, because he was born in Kenya. At his real date of birth his fake place was still not an US-federal state, since 1959 it counts as the 50th federal state. Therefore, he couldn't be American President and need to fake his vita.

And also an irresponsible chapter of the press history is currently written by almost all western media over Syria. And where from these media do cover her information? From "Syrian Observation Point For Human Rights", and their lies since a long time ago not a secret. A staircase wit of history. Of course, the world watches currently how
a dreadful war is kindled against Syria. It's all above also a war which is waged partly with military precision by a tiny cell in London. Nearly everybody "serious media" (LOL) representatives spread the lies of this supposed office of human rights, that has
expect all other to claim, than how to leave the natural rights to innocent people.

ISIS is a child of the CIA. The media write to us dizzy about the terror of the ISIS in Iraq, how dangerous this gang of murderers is and also from a genocide and barbarity, but when the ISIS have raged in Syria and slaughtered civilians there, however, the media said nothing in addition, there where only freedom-fighter to free Syria from a bad dictator. Exactly as Obama said nothing about the atrocity, because he wanted the fall of Baschar al-Assad in Damascus. Today suddenly(!) Washington wants to work together with Assad and fight against the ISIS. What the media don't tell, who has created the ISIS generally? One of the evidence of it how US-Senator
John McCain met the leader of the ISIS in Syria as the following photo:

http://socioecohistory.wordpress.com/2014/08/13/senator-john-mccain
s-whoops-moment-photographed-chilling-with-isis-chief-al-baghdadi-a
nd-terrorist-muahmmad-noor/

Once again the US-Politics has created the problem first, to have to fight now against it. Exactly as like as in Afghanistan, they founded al-Qaida during the 80-years and made Osama bin Laden to the leader, that this terror troop fights against the Soviet occupying forces as her deputies. At that time the Mujaheddin were heroes during the glorious war against the communists, Hollywood made films about them like "Rambo III", the leaders were received even by president Reagan in the White House and dedicated the start of the space shuttle to Columbia to their honor.

Later then the USA are the occupying forces in Afghanistan and already wage for 13 years a war exactly against those whom they have generally armed and supported. Now the same game runs off with the ISIS. The possibility to freely from peep and amounted: understand, what is real in the present situation. The irony of the destiny,
besides the list of incredibility, which the mass feels confronted becomes exactly as felt: "Impossibility".

There were (before the Arab Spring) only some refugees or economic asylum-seekers who entered illegally over the Mediterranean Sea by a few bootlegger to Lampedusia (Italy). Contracts with the old leaders fixed a controlled border to a very poor Africa with an high explosive demography. Now it's a not ending stream of hundreds of
thousands people around Middle East and specially North-Africa, transported by a bootlegger-fleet which achieves a higher profit margin than by drug sales. Even European Coastguards take up capsized people directly on African coast in knee-deep water and drive them to Lampedusia across the Mediterranean Sea, although there really all capacities are used till the red are. Where are all the oil-rich Arab countries if their brothers of faith are need help?

It seems artificial, the concept "Islamic Invasion" describes it best of all words. Always the same picture of the incoming people. boats with hundreds of young, strengthen, robust and well fed men, armed with new smart phone, strong faith and a mission whom I would recruit immediately as soldiers. Big families in their homelands are
waiting for a quick family reunification in Europe and armed with an endless list of claims completely with exceptions for their "superior human" faith. And everything and everybody feels offended immediately, discriminates or as a victim if it's not granted. Or if they can't justice the achievement claim of the western world. Do refugees are behave thus in need?

Seldom one sees a child, a woman, a grandpa or granny, strange. From those come only a few to Europe - refugees who need protection for a time, because it was not save at home, until they can return again in her native country where they are needed to rebuild a better place. No question, who is need help, may not be turned back. However, in Germany the refusal rate of asylum-seeker are by 98-99%, because no asylum reason is given and the entry happens economically. Indeed, the development in Morocco, Egypt, Tunis, Libya, Syria and Iraq (golf wars) have weakened Europe and becomes more and more structure of an "Islamic States of Europe". We can't win the future against their high demography factor.

There come also a lot of radical people who import their conflicts to Europe to continue it. The social peace in Europe is seriously in danger again since 1945. The boat is full and the mood of the citizens overturns. The politicians have capitulated and leaves
alone her citizens with worries and fears. The "state power monopoly" crumbles rapid to a joke of political correctness, more and more No-Go-Areas for the people, because the police are ordered not to patrol or to control this areas.

Only a small spark and the explosive mixture explodes in a big bang. The conflicts smolders, a few weeks ago thousands of Muslims who got protection and a save country marched through German towns and scanned "Deadly the Jew!" or "Jews in the gas!" as a reaction of Israels settler-policy against Palestine. Salafists fight against the police or Salafist vs PKK or PKK vs Turks and still so on. Jewish Rabbi are physically attacked on open street and it's only the tip of the iceberg. But nothing happens. And they hate us, they despise our democracy, our values, they just offend our intelligence and demand, demand and demand, but practically never I have hear a word of the gratitude. Thousands of dead Germans by foreign violence since 1990 in our country! Criminal activity everywhere, more and more. Most Muslims are not integrable, they had to go back in her native country or they will push away soon.

In spite of heavy political and military defeats during the bloody ground wars in Afghanistan and in Iraq, in spite of the dismissal of for many years allied dictators in Yemen, in Egypt and in Tunisia and also in spite of the decay of the (US) puppet regimes in Somalia and in the South-Sudan, the Obama's government has learned nothing. Now it provokes even a military confrontation with much more dangerous states like the great powers Russia and China. By a provocatively offensive military marching up near her borders, Obama challenges at the same time China and Russia. What would Obama say if Russia made it the same in Mexico or recently an US warship goes in the black sea, sea exercises with Cuba in the Golf of Mexico or
nearly Florida?

At the moment the attention concentrates upon Asia, there originates a big center of economic power. Will this process run peacefully or not? Besides, China will play a crucial role which can be positive if it feels itself stable and well for more. If it feels threatened in his business development and if it cannot control his demographic
development any more, that the social satisfaction overturns in discontent, then Asia could be in great danger. And if Asia is in danger, also the world gets in skew situation. Well, it's not only the economy which makes country strong, it counts the military strength. Militarily it will still need some years, before China has also the military power as like as the USA.

Israel? Explosive. A published study by the CIA at February 2009 forecast the nemesis of the Zionist Israel within twenty years if the general trends continue. The CIA didn't see these trends in the nuclear ambitions of Teheran, the forecast is based on the appraisal, that unlikely the Israeli guidance isn't even ready for a minimum concessions to reach to a notification with their neighbours and their increasingly
disillusioned and quickly growing and to justice asking populations.

Now the conflict smolders in Europe as further on top reported. The CIA study shows a very American view of the world by which the USA are about to lose her hegemony. Okay, they themselves have wrote it, but what is recommended to the president in view of this appraisal? It shows to itself a certain concern. The Americans slowly notice that they are taken down economically, they ask him selves how they can get again the reins in their hand more firmly.

The till end of 1999 valid decision of the EU, to kept out the everlasting problem case Turkey, is in the meantime history. To be no match for all the pressure from the USA (the politicians in Berlin and Brussels rare equipped with a spine and courageousness) they gave up theirs restood. The USA need the binding of Turkey to the EU to back up, that this "Asian State" also plays in future the function of the door opener in the Caucasus and in Central Asia.

A tempting concentration of important resources around the Caspian Sea still waits for exploitation. And Europe has again to carry the risks of the US-Geopolitics to allow a profitable exploitation: Turkey wanted to get rid of her demographic spill-over to Europe, especially to Germany. This was the price for NATO membership, Pershing II in the Turkey in the 70th and for long-term guarantees to the USA to use the exposed geographic position.

The rules of the western game are clearly defined: the political and financially whole risk remains for the allied friend and the profits only for the Wall Street. it was a deceitful act of FRG politics and economy to settle Turks in the FRG as a foreign worker including family relief train on behest of the USA on a huge scale. Neither it
was discussed, never was communicated and put at no time for the vote. Multiculturalism and islamization were not welcome by the majority.

Far away from the absolute absent-mindedness, one sees under Erdogan politics the almost complete change of the once secular Turkey in a strictly religious caliphate. The Police and military were reformed and mean, to change majority secular and kemalistic officials and generals against to be consistent with AKP and strict-religious
people. The way in the caliphate:


- Loss of power of the military
- Arrest of the critics
- Disdain of the seculare
- Infiltration of the justice
- Islamic school reform
- Headscarfs at universities admitted


Only another great attempt (is to be kept like the Kosovo war) to kept the power-political advantages and profits of the US Armaments Industry in own country and to leave the geopolitical disadvantages and military subsequent costs or construction costs by the credulous Europeans. Or short: by Germany, neglected to the US vassals.

Now the fresh event in the Ukraine already offer material for a own chapter richly of amazing things of a known army postal service number...


Islam and Europe: Occident and Orient are antipodes.

"Islam is a part of Germany", says the confused German Federal President!

Please, read the Koran or at least try across reading. Islam is called "submission"! Only a few know it. Most Germans between 1933-1945 had stand Adolf Hitler's book "My Fight" in their bookcase, but only a few have really read it - maybe the jacket
text. Don't get involved in a comparison between Bible and Koran! The Bible had the great Age of Enlightenment. The Christianity have values like willingness to make sacrifices, unselfishness and charity, all three are the highest of all values which it's a matter to reach. Jesus - who undertook all harm of the world, asked his father for forgiveness for the people who could smash though his body, but never his faith. It has burnt itself in the souls of the people. He gives them consolation, courage and hope.

Sure, in Islam also the "primate of the reason" ruled a short time period stronger than with the Christians of Europe at the moment of the crusades when the Occident reacted with aggressions against cultural and religious export. Unfortunately, it got lost to the Muslims. Well, this shouldn't be called that in the early-medieval the Islam was marked purely tolerant, still present purely fundamentalist, but the inflexibility dominates in the modern times.

I ascertain that the occurred hardening of the situation in Islam founded in the success of the European Christians by the occupation of all the important key positions of the history. Who loses power has made some mistakes, according the Islamic tenor at
that time. The Islamic way led back to the true faith, western influence was now demonised as well as announced a hard fight against Christians. They got in a vicious circle from poverty, terror, state of underdevelopment and "ban of free thoughts". Today the Islam sees the western world like Europe dropped of the true faith as like as
the Christians had saw the Islam at the time of crusades. And, therefore, now is also rightly in the defensive against Islam.

The 6th US-President, John Quincy Adam (1767-1848):

"The average American’s lack of awareness of the past has left our
nation in an extremely vulnerable position. The multi-culturalism,
pluralism, “diversity,” and political correctness that now blanket
American culture mean that many are oblivious to and unconcerned
about the threat that Islam poses to the American (and Christian)
way of life. The Founders of the American Republic were not so
dispossessed. They were well-studied in the ebb and flow of human
history, and the international circumstances that could
potentially impact America adversely. They, in fact, spoke openly
and pointedly about the anti-American, anti-Christian nature of
the religion of Islam."
[...]
"In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of
the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of
transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic,
and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a
messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over
an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime
conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God;
he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that
he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new
Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of
future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the
rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the
sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the
fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the
allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and
exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest
of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE
AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART
OF HUMAN NATURE."

The National Socialists in Hitler-Germany have never hidden her affinity and admiration compared with the Islam:


"I have nothing against Islam. He drills our boys in the
division for me and promises the sky if they in to them the
fight are killed. A very practical and attractive religion
for soldiers. Islam isn't so unlike to our world view at
all." (Heinrich Himmler, SS)


"Mohammed knew that most people are frightfully cowardly and
silly. Therefore, he has promised two wonderful women to
every courageous warrior, who fall in fight. This is the
language that a soldier understands. If he believes it to be
welcome in the life afterwards in this kind, he will give
away his life willing, he will move with enthusiasm in the
battle and the death don't fear..."
(Heinrich Himmler, SS)


"Mohammedans are Musel-Germanen"
(Adolf Hitler, Leader)


"... if we still early had taken over Mohammedanism, this
apprenticeship of the reward of the heroism: The fighter
alone has the seventh sky! The Teutons would have conquered
the world with it, we have been held only by the Christianity
of it.” (Adolf Hitler, Leader)


"We have just generally the misfortune to own a wrong religion.
[...] Also the mohammedanische religion would be much more
suitable for us, than just the Christianity with his floppy
tolerance." (Adolf Hitler, Leader)

"We don't know whether Hitler plans to found new Islam. He is
already on the way in addition. He is like Mohammed. The
feeling situation in Germany is Islamic. War-willing and
Islamic. They are drunken everybody from a wild divinity. This
could be the historical future."
(Karl, Swiss Psychiatrist, 1939)


"The friendship and the cooperation between Muslims and Germans
have become stronger after the seizure of power by the
Nationwide Socialists, because the National Socialist runs
parallel in many respects of the Islamic world view."
(Grand Mufti Amin al-Husaini, October 1944)


"Hitlers 'My Fight' is a new Koran of the faith and the war:
bombastic, long-windedly, shapelessly, but pregnant with his
message" (Winston Churchill)


"The democracy is only the train on which we climb up, until we
are come to destination. The mosques are our barracks, the
minarets our bayonets, the domes our helmets and the believers
our soldiers."
(Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkish Prime Minister, 1998)


"The term ‘Moderate Islam’ is ugly and offensive; There is no
moderate Islam; Islam Is Islam,"
(Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkish Prime Minister, 2007)

Yeah, Strauss, your post was filled with idiotic quotes, idiotic studies, out-of-context quotes and studies, an oversized sense of self-importance, hilarious conspiracies, random religious bullshit, random cultural bullshit, pure hatred towards non-pure GERMANS, BECAUSE GERMANY IS GOD DON'T DENY IT WE SO OPPRESSED. We get it, you feel like the EU limits countries. That's why it is there. Sort of like Germany exists, instead of all the Lander being independent. It's just limiitations. That's all law is.

In conclusion, Strauss, you come off as a rabid maniac. You don't seem to have any stability of thought. I didn't read too far it, because it was unreadable. Try to avoid that next time.

So I was checking through some old threads and I notice that maple got banned. I'm not complaining that it happen or anything but when and why (well why is obvious) did this happen and how did I not notice it until now?

The Pro-Muslim Thread
Just wanted to make sure that if any Muslim guys stop by the forum, we wanted you to know that the anti-Muslim crowd doesn't speak for everyone. Plenty of us are accustomed to living in peace side by side with the Muslims. Hit me up in a game if you want.

The Worst President in American History Is...
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ivan-eland/is-barack-obama-the-worst_b_6061208.html James Buchanan. That'd be my pick. Those on the Left can shout Dubya Bush, and those on the Right can scream Obama...and claim both have divided the nation...Buchanan had the effing Civil War happen on his watch! When the country *literally* breaks apart and begins its most deadly war during your term, I think that's grounds for calling you the worst. Nominations for the worst?

Russia Orders Obama: Tell World About Aliens, Or We Will
A stunning Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) report on Prime Minister Medvedev’s [photo top left] agenda at the World Economic Forum (WEF) this week states that Russia will warn President Obama that the“time has come” for the world to know the truth about aliens, and if the United States won’t participate in the announcement, the Kremlin will do so on its own…..

Diplomacy MBTI
Hi everyone,
As of late, I have been studying the Myers' Briggs' personality type indicator, and find it very interesting. So I've decided to poll certain groups of people. If you don't know your type, take the test here. http://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test

I'm an INFP, and I suspect most of you here are some type of rational(analyst), or NT. Let me know what it is!
