(auf Englisch verfasste) Manifest des Oslo-Attentäters Anders Breivik angesehen. Es ist zu einem großen Teil (wie bei Politikern üblich) nicht von ihm selber geschrieben, sondern besteht aus hineinkopierten Texten anderer Autoren (was aber kenntlich gemacht wird).
Was in diesem Manifest unter "2.4 Why the EU Needs to be Destroyed, and Soon" (S. 322) steht, ist, wenn man den mMn blödsinnigen anti-arabischen Grundton ignoriert, ein sehr lesenswerter Text über die Europäische Union und wo dieses Projekt hinsteuert ohne die Bevölkerung darüber aufzuklären (Auflösung der Nationalstaaten und Aufhebung der nationalstaatlichen Demokratieerrungenschaften).
In 2005, an unprecedented joint declaration by the leaders of all British political groups in Brussels called for PM Tony Blair to push for an end the ?medieval? practice of European legislation being decided behind closed doors. Critics claim that the Council of Ministers, the EU?s supreme law-making body, which decides two thirds of all Britain?s laws (and the majority of laws in all Western European countries), ?is the only legislature outside the Communist dictatorships of North Korea and Cuba to pass laws in secret.? As one of the signers put it: ?We still have this medieval way of making decisions in the EU; people hide behind other member states, and blame them. It increases people?s sense of cynicism, but what we need is some straight talking.? According to British Conservative politician Daniel Hannan, this is how the EU was designed. ?Its founding fathers understood from the first that their audacious plan to merge the ancient nations of Europe into a single polity would never succeed if each successive transfer of power had to be referred back to the voters for approval. So they cunningly devised a structure where supreme power was in the hands of appointed functionaries, immune to public opinion.? ?Indeed, the EU?s structure is not so much undemocratic as anti-democratic.?

Richard North writes that ?If, against all the odds, the Constitution does go ahead, it would be like locking down the lid on a pressure cooker and sealing off the safety valve. The break-up might take a little longer, but it will be explosive when it comes.? In the book he co-authored with Christopher Booker, the authors conclude: ?Behind the lofty ideals of supranationalism in short, evoking an image of Commissoners sitting like Plato?s Guardians, guiding the affairs of Europe on some rarefied plane far above the petty egotisms and rivalries of mere nation states, the project Monnet had set on its way was a vast, ramshackle, self-deluding monster: partly suffocating in its own bureaucracy; partly a corrupt racket, providing endless opportunities for individuals and collectives to outwit and exploit their fellow men; partly a mighty engine for promoting the national interests of those countries who knew how to ?work the system?, among whom the Irish and the Spanish had done better than most, but of whom France was the unrivalled master. The one thing above all the project could never be, because by definition it had never been intended to be, was in the remotest sense democratic.?
Wer dieses Manifest liest sollte nicht dem darin enthaltenen Anti-Arabismus auf dem Leim gehen. Die Araber können nichts dafür was Merkel tut. Nur hat Merkel mMn das Demokratieverständnis eines arabischen Diktators.
