EU STRUGGLING OVER DEBT AND BAILOUTS GETS PLAN FROM FAUX EU PRESIDENT FOR MULTIMILLION EURO COMPLEX…….

Laughable but predictable.

The thing is, these statists (top-down big government blowhard tyrants) do not dwell in the same environment as the rest of us, they inhabit an alter universe all of their very own. So that’s why the faux (unelected) president of the EU, Herman Van Rompuy, thinks he can come up with the plans for a multi-million dollar complex to seat his fellow totalitarians whiule the rest of Europe struggles with massive debt problems.

Van Rompuy’s ‘egg’ goes down badly at EU summit

24.06.2011 @ 18:10 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – EU Council head Herman Van Rompuy scored an own goal at the EU summit by putting forward plans for an expensive new headquarters at an inopportune moment.

Van Rompuy handed round a glossy brochure to EU leaders for the €240 million building during a dinner in Brussels on Thursday (23 June) devoted to a discussion about the threat of Greek bankruptcy and on new austerity cuts.

The brochure itself for the new EU summit venue and Van Rompuy office complex is said to have cost €100,000 to print.

“[UK leader] Cameron and [German Chancellor] Merkel just looked at each other as if to say ‘What is this guy thinking?'” one EU diplomat said. “It’s true that the building was planned a few years ago and everything, but you have to ask if it was a good idea to draw attention to it now.”

David Cameron did not hold back at the post-summit press briefing.

“When you see a document being circulated with a great glossy brochure about some great new building for the European Council to sit in, it is immensely frustrating,” he said. “You do wonder whether these institutions actually get what every country and what every member of the public is having to go through as we cut budgets.”

Delusions of Grandeur are a symptom of tertiary syphilis.

Why should the EU ‘fat cats’ care it’s not their money? The money they squander comes from the excessive taxation and confiscation of the EU citizen’s funds who unfortunately have no say in the matter. Everything is decided by the ‘Throne In Brussels’, the seat of the dictat’. After all why bother with a concept as old fashioned as representative government? The Eu hierarchy will decide what is best for everyone.

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

"More here"

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.
