It\u2019s no secret at this point that the EU is an anti-democratic organization. The leadership isn\u2019t elected, but selected from a pre-determined pool of candidates from within the Party structure.<\/p>\n

Everyone with the power to make a decision was placed there not by popular vote but by backroom collusion.<\/p>\n

As we approach this weekend\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

TRUTH LIVES on at\u00a0https:\/\/sgtreport.tv\/<\/a><\/p>\n

And yet all you hear from these Eurocrats is that we are in a \u201cwar of Democracy versus Autocracy,\u201d as EU Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen put it in her hellish EU state of the union address to the European Parliament recently.<\/p>\n

Cloaking herself in the inverse of the EU flag\u2019s 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 \u2018democracy\u2019 they deny to anyone who disagrees with her.<\/p>\n

The same can be said for nearly every major government in Europe. Every time an \u2018election\u2019 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 \u2018unworkable\u2019 or \u2018representative\u2019 coalition.<\/p>\n

Any outcome they can\u2019t overcome that lies outside the scope of the EU\u2019s values is either laden with poison pills, immediately put under pressure by the EU\u2019s Byzantine rules, and eventually forced out of office.<\/p>\n

There is no better example of this anti-democratic structure made flesh than Italy.<\/p>\n

For more than a decade Italians have been saddled with mostly-unelected technocratic governments who at best stymie and populist\/sovereigntist impulses within Italy\u2019s electorate or, at worst, advance the EU\u2019s centralization agenda under the false rubrics of Climate Change and \u201cEuropean Values.\u201d<\/p>\n

European Values is a phrase that is synonymous with the phrase \u201crules-based order.\u201d We make the rules, they say, and you abide by them. We\u2019re allowed to break those rules because 1) we can and 2) we are the goodies.<\/p>\n

So, it shouldn\u2019t be a surprise that as the Italians go to the polls this weekend with the center-right coalition led by the Brothers of Italy (FdI) likely to win a major, uncontestable victory, the unelected, openly totalitarian President of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, openly threaten Italians to \u2018vote right\u2019 or face her wrath.<\/p>\n

\u203c\ufe0fCorrupted unelected bureacurat Von der Leyen threatens the Italians: \u201cWe will see the result of the vote in Italy. If things go in a difficult direction, we have tools, as in the case of Poland and Hungary.\u201d This is called meddling in elections\u00a0\ud83d\udc47\ud83d\udc47\ud83d\udc47VDL<\/em>\u203c\ufe0f<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be honest. Seeing that threat issued towards inherently disagreeable Italians coming from a German bureaucrat will not go as she thinks it will.<\/p>\n

When you run out of the power to persuade people the only things left is threats (no matter how empty) and subterfuge. Italy has been trended towards this moment for over a decade and to this point subterfuge has worked particularly well for the EU.<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s down to open threats and \u2018consequences.\u2019<\/p>\n

Ask Hungary about those \u2018consequences.\u2019 The EU parliament this week exercised its only real power, wagging their finger sternly at a member who doesn\u2019t represent the majority\u2019s conception of \u2018European Values\u2019 by declaring the\u00a0democratically-elected (by a landslide) government of Viktor Orban is \u2018not a democracy.\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

Orwell\u2019s O\u2019Brien would be proud.<\/p>\n

This declaration means they have the ability to withhold shared EU development funds from Hungary.<\/p>\n

This is called \u2018blackmail\u2019 in common parlance.<\/p>\n

Moments like this always invoke the great Lew Rockwell reminding us that the government engages in behavior decent people would be ashamed of. It\u2019s more of the \u201crules-based order\u201d I keep hearing so much about, I guess.<\/p>\n

The rough translation to all of these issues is \u201crules for me and not for thee,\u201d the very essence of San Francis\u2019 description of\u00a0anarcho-tyranny.<\/em>\u00a0The EU is truly and\u00a0anarcho-tyrannical<\/em>\u00a0State where words only have the meanings they decide they have.<\/p>\n
