Indebtedness and Endless Financing of the War: The EU Today

‘The total EU debt-to-GDP ratio is nearing a staggering 90 per cent. EU citizens are being forced into collective debt against their will, with Hungarians then even denied access to funds. That is a ludicrous scenario. It’s like a bank forcing a person to take out a mortgage loan, then refusing to actually disburse the loan, but sending debt collectors to recover the repayments. This is where we stand in Europe today.’

This is How Democracy Dies

‘When a candidate disfavoured by the progressive mainstream achieves electoral success within the Western sphere of influence—be it in the EU or the South Caucasus—the media empire and NGO networks closely tied to this elite immediately cry electoral fraud. However, it is unprecedented for a democratic election to be annulled on such grounds. This makes the developments in Romania particularly significant, as they could establish a troubling precedent.’
