The article linked and included below shows that Herman van Rompuy, the head of the EU, is still propagating an ancient myth, the house of cards on which the EU is based: 'The biggest enemy of Europe today is fear. Fear leads to egotism, egotism leads to nationalism and nationalism leads to war.' This dangerous and false idea expressed by the Mad Belgian needs to be debunked and rejected at every turn, in every conversation we have with our fellow countrymen and fellow enemies. Here is the antidote, the real truth of the matter: Neither fear nor egotism, nor nationalism lead to war. Fear does not lead to war. Trust leads to war. Witness Neville Chamberlain and his blind trust of Hitler. A few short months after he signed the non-aggression pact, and told his countrymen NOT to fear Hitler, the bombs started raining down on London ! Egotism does not lead to war. Zeal without knowledge leads to war. Ideology, coupled with poverty and ignorance, leads to war. The supranational zealots (with mindsets like Rompuy's and others) have caused war by convincing their countrymen of their ideologies. The Vietnam conflict and the Korean conflict are an example. The Vietnamese army and the Korean army believed in communism -- a borderless ideology – and tried to ram it down the throats of those who did not so believe. The war Europeans see brewing on your streets with Islam, is born of this same borderless, supranational ideology with EU zealots ramming unlimited immigration down your throats to enforce it. The brewing war between Americans and millions of illegal immigrants and drug lords is another example of an impending war born of the supranational idea that is antithetical to nationalism. Today's main enemy is anti-nationalism, which is warping our cultures, values and Western civilization itself. Nationalism has never led to war. If the Germans had been more nationalistic, they would never have let an Austrian take over their country. It was lack of nationalism -- coupled with abysmal ignorance of their own culture and of Christianity, for example -- that destroyed Germany . The ideology of supranationalism, the enforcing of a one-world government on those who reject the idea, starts wars. Don Hank 10 November 2010 2:34 PM Van Rompuy: more dangerous than he looksNationalism does not cause war Shabby and secret dealings between member states last year made Herman Van Rompuy president of the European Council. At the time, he was mocked in Britain largely because he was unknown, mouse-like and, well, Belgian.

But last night in Berlin , Van Rompuy showed what he really is. And that is, a dangerous, cynical man who intends that all of Europe should be turned into a vast version of Belgium , an invented country called Europe where the loyal feelings and patriotism of the ancient nations are suppressed -- all replaced with a European nationalism.
Last night Van Rompuy gave a speech in which he condemned 'the danger of a new Euro-scepticism. This is no longer the monopoly of a few countries. In every member state, there are people who believe their country can survive alone in the globalised world. It is more than an illusion. It is a lie!' [Note, I can't think of any state in the world outside Burma and North Korea that imagines it can survive alone. What Van R is attacking is any country and any people who imagine they are equipped to run their own state without an undemocratic superstate being in control. Damn shocking, those Swiss.]
'The biggest enemy of Europe today is fear. Fear leads to egotism, egotism leads to nationalism and nationalism leads to war.'
'Today's nationalism is often not a positive feeling of pride in one's own identity, but a negative feeling of apprehension of others.'
Tripe. And I have to call it tripe, because in Brussels , 'nationalism' is not nationalism as we understand it. The word is used instead to mean any expression of rational self-interest by one country. It is used to mean any preference by any citizen for their own homeland or culture or political system over others.
Remember, the European Commission is the institution in which its employees are trained never to mention their own home countries if the word can possible be avoided -- British eurocrats are trained not to say Britain but to say only 'the country I know best.' This is why the EU has rigged up the idea of dividing Europe into 'regions' which ignore, indeed, erase, national boundaries. This is why, under law, we are all called 'citizens of the EU' now. It's not just a gesture, it's a fact, and cynical creatures such as Van Rompuy means we should all become 'citizens of the EU' in every sense.
WE can't say we weren't warned. The day after Van Rompuy was appointed, Paul Belien, a Flemish historian and lawyer, warned readers of the Mail that the newly powerful president of the council was a man 'devoid of patriotism and contemptuous of democracy.'
Belien has known and observed Van Rompuy since the mid-1980s. He called Van Rompuy 'a shrewd manipulator, he will do all in his power to further EU integration.'
'Van Rompuy is a product of the debased, corrupt political life of Belgium . Like the EU, it is an artificial construction, the result of political compromise and experiment.'
'Because of this lack of real nationhood, Belgians despise their own state. But this unpatriotic attitude is precisely the reason why Belgian politicians have been so enthusiastic about the EU, in which they see the mirror image of their own fraudulent, unprincipled country.'
Which is to say, Van Rompuy is precisely the man to lead the Belgianisation of Europe. Make no mistake, the EU is an empire with global ambitions. It was no mere gesture that in his acceptance speech as president of the council, Van Rompuy extolled 'global governance.' Pay the man the compliment of believing he means what he says. And then be prepared to treat him as the dangerous, cynical anti-patriot he is.
