Dutch lose their faith in Europe

This one from Dutch Report:

“A lot of people in Holland at first thought the constitution was a good thing. Now they worry because the economy is not doing that well.”

There is widespread opposition to the European Commission’s decision to let Turkey join the EU, which would give 70 million Muslims the right to live and work in Western Europe. These fears are being given voice by the maverick politician Geert Wilders, whose opposition to radical Islam, Turkey and the constitution has propelled him ahead of the Government in the polls.

In a recent speech in Rotterdam, Mr Wilders said: “The political elite wants to admit Turkey to the Union, an Islamic land of millions, that will have an enormous influence on the federal superstate. Because of the new European constitution, Turkey will have more influence on Dutch legislation than the Netherlands itself. It can’t become crazier than this.”

The above is a serious underestimation of the numbers involved. Turks arose from the boundaries of Mongolia and Turkoman continue live in regions all over, from Mongolia to Turkey proper. Turkey regards them as ethnic Turks, with rights to settle in Turkey.

Once Turkey is in the EU, then Turkomans from the East will rush to Turkey, where they will be granted citizenship. Then who can blame the new Turks to prefer to live on welfare in Britain, France, Norway, Holland etc rather then in poverty in Turkey.

The real scale of the problem is closer to 140 million of those who will be effectively counted as Europeans. Even if not all will emmigrate to the West, Turkey will still be the giant of the EU and set policy accordingly.

Then there is the problem that the new EU will adjoin Iraq, Iran, Syria and import the endemic religious and ethnic problems of that region. All these will become part and parcel of the EU.

What is apparant is that EU policy makers have no idea at all of what they have let Europe into. A clear case of ignorance and stupidity. A combination of ignorance and stupidity is sometimes fatal for an individual. Methinks in this case, the stupidity of the EU is going to be fatal for civilisation as a whole.
