Former Czech President Exposes 'All-Inclusive' Europe's "Leftist Utopia" Demise

Via The Gatestone Institute,

Europe All Inclusive, a book by former Czech President Václav Klaus, co-authored by the Arab-speaking economist Jiří Weigl, recently published by Hungary's Századvég School of Politics Foundation, has already been translated into six languages. The Századvég School of Politics Foundation is connected to the think tank Századvég, which, in turn, is close to the FIDESZ party led by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. In the book, the authors write:

"What we see today is a similarly fundamental challenge to the future of Europe... and especially its 'integrated' part, is riddled with hypocrisy, pseudo-humanism and other dubious concepts. [When] the most dangerous of them are the currently fashionable, and ultimately suicidal, ideologies of multiculturalism and human-rightism...

These ideologies promote the notion that migration is a human right, and that the right to migrate leads to further rights and entitlements including social welfare hand-outs for migrants...

Europe is weakened by the leftist utopia of trying to transform a continent that was once proud of its past into an inefficient solidaristic state, turning its inhabitants from citizens into dependent clients."

The following are excerpts of a speech, "Is Our Membership in the EU a Real Blessing?", delivered by Václav Klaus at the Corvinus University of Budapest on February 22, 2018:

I came to Budapest to participate in the launching of the book about the recent mass migration to Europe. Its formal launching took place yesterday in the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

Our ambition in writing the book was to contribute to the refutation of the false and misleading interpretations of the current European migration crisis. They have been promoted and propagated by the European political and intellectual elites with their progressivist, multicultural, politically correct views and attitudes. Their thinking is based on the untenable assumption that the mass migration is a positive social phenomenon. We strongly disagree. It is not a positive phenomenon, it destabilizes Europe, it endangers the peaceful and quiet developments in individual European countries.

History teaches us that any mass migration creates considerable cultural, social and political conflicts, shocks and tensions. Its costs have always been much higher than its benefits. We see it in Europe these days. The costs connected with it are high and visible and – to be frank – we have not been able to find any benefits from of it. It is evident that Europe does not need any mass migration.

We are aware of the specifics regarding the current mass migration, of the Hungarian stance, which is the result of the courageous -- and in Europe singular and isolated -- position of Prime Minister Orbán. We can assure you that his views are greatly supported in the Czech Republic. I am glad to say that my own views are very similar to Prime Minister Orbán's views.

There are plenty of arguments suggesting that the contemporary migration crisis is connected with the post-democratic character of the EU: it is a by-product of the already long-existing European crisis; systemic errors and misconceptions of European policies; built-in defects of EU institutional arrangements, and the ideological confusions and prejudices of European multicultural political elites.

My criticism is based on the fact that we are – due to our EU membership – once again masterminded from abroad and that our sovereignty is again considerably constrained.

The substance of my polemics with the EU arrangements is based both on the criticism of the negative effects of the ambitions to centralize economically and excessively unify the European continent. It is also based on those who underestimate the negative consequences of undemocratically suppressing nation-states in favor of a pan-European governance.

In the communist era, our dream was to be free citizens, not just inhabitants of our non-free states. Regarding mass migration, the issue of citizenship has become crucial again. Citizenship reflects that one belongs to a particular political community. I strongly disagreed with a well-known and often quoted statement by President Obama, when he famously announced that he is "a citizen of the world". The European political elites similarly keep saying that they are citizens of Europe. Yet, it is impossible to be a citizen of Europe. Europe is not a political community. One can only be an inhabitant of Europe.

I want to live in a Europe with less of the EU and with more of the nation-states. The currently prevailing EU ideology (I call it Europeism) systematically undermines the traditional, historically proven building blocks of the European society: the nation state, the family, the man.

I am very much in favor of the increased openness of the European society. It was attained in the first phase of the European integration process (in the era of the EEC and the EC). I am, however, very critical of the increased bureaucratic centralization, of the permanently growing regulations that suppress human activity, and of the frustrating de-democratization that is connected with the second phase of the European integration process (with the era of the EU), with the European unification. To sum it up, our membership in such an entity is a very mixed blessing. We should have the courage to say it loudly.

Actually we need an United Europe but not one built-up upon left fascist utopian ideologies. We need an united and strong Europe built starting from a foundation consisting from european traditional common values and cultural ground and framed into by center-right policies designed to strengthen the freedom and individuals rights to self determination - shared responsibilities, common prosperity and security of the european people must be the priority and wellfare state must be outlawed.   

What people of Europe don't realize is that without Europe raising to the status of a full integrated union of states as US but as a strong, republic exercising bold policies with regards to its identity and asserting a bold possition towards its best interest geopolitically - Europe will always be just a mass of divided enclaves at the disposition of manipulation in their own interest by various global players like US and Russia/China. Europe must become a true, bold and strong global assertive player kind of a joined best of what British, Austrian and German empires have been without the colonialist and fascists aspects, just strong and proud of themselves.

So you want to destroy the cohesion of the ethnic peoples of Europe from within with fewer of the Islamic refugees. What you are seeing today with the invasion of Islam is the result of that. You are not Italian, German, French, Spaniard peoples - you are EU subjects of Italian descent. The strength and cohesion of Italians is thus broken down, borders erased, currency taken over. (repeat, currency taken over)

Even the author says:
"To sum it up, our membership in such an entity is a very mixed blessing. We should have the courage to say it loudly."
Wow, have courage to complain more, not revolt against the EU concept. Not pushing the Brexit concept.

Exactly.

Also the statement in the article: "Europe is weakened by the leftist utopia of trying to transform a continent that was once proud of its past into an inefficient solidaristic state, turning its inhabitants from citizens into dependent clients." It has much wider application than just Europe.

This massive problem has been deliberately engineered all throughout the West, and wherever the tentacles of the IMF-World Bank-Rothschild banking empire have reached.  In addition to controlling finances and debt rigging every nation in their grasp, making them financially "dependent", the same cabal controlling the mainstream media and the entertainment industry has systematically stripped away the basis of Western civilization making the common people feel alienated and rootless. It was our Christian roots which in the past fostered sufficient trust to allow the diverse cultures to flourish. Despite the European wars between 1500 and 1700 which were largely due to the rise of secular nationalism, the secular-humanist establishment and the monied cabal running things since, have given us nothing but increasing debt, insecurity and unrestrained violence and world wars, while they continue to divide us and profit from the conflict.

Not quite. Not the entire Tribe, but only a well organised subset of scumbags and criminals:

Imperialist, Global-Lust Zionists. Most of which are Ashkenazi. Russian and Eastern European Askis from Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, Romania.

Orthodox Jews oppose Zionists, because Zionism is a secular, POLITICAL movement. Many Orthodox 'Jews' await the Savior/Messiah to be sent by G*d, not by the Rothschilds or their minions. Their symbol is therefore the Menorah, not the Hexa-star.

Savvy?

East European Slavs are going to save Europe and the white race.

I have ZERO Slav blood, but I whole heartedly welcome this most awesome resistance from my Slav brothers.

The West and Nord white man will awake and join you in time.  He's going through a real bad case of CogDis right now, but the cracks are showing, and growing.

Stay strong East White Men.

Vaclav is a man of voice but, sadly, not a man of action.

He's perfectly placed to continue the path that Brexit has created - even if that path leads to the EU continuing to exist, it may just exist with the 'right purpose' and not that of a small group of Globalists with evil intent.

Time to 'put up' Vaclav.....

One may view these heroic Slavs as Riders of Rohan

But it’s hard to see a good outcome for them

AAZog uses them now as a military buffer weapon vs. Russia

They embrace this, driven by memories of occupation

But their communist overlords were never the Russians

It was, & remains, banking interests from London that pulled the strings in Moscow

Ask yourself why David Rockefeller was treated as a hero by communist Russia

Understand the true purpose of the Marshall Plan; & before that the Belgian relief of WWI

But the Nazi's were the good guys. Hitler was gullible to view England as a potential ally, and he should have crushed them when he had an opportunity. 

Had Hitler and the Nazi's prevailed Europe would be a super power today, and there would be a lot less dead Russians had he succeeded in stamping out Bolshevism. Hitler was the most popular German leader ever, and that fact is indisputable. Still 70 years after the fact there is a propaganda campaign running to discredit the Nazi's and to fill native Germans with shame and self loathing. The edifice is crumbling and people are finding out the truth, something which is like kryptonite to Jews.

Sure-- except for the  part of history where Hitler invaded (ussr) Russia that you left out. Dead Russians, indeed !

without the stupidity of Hitler and the Russians prevailing -- the UK would have fallen and Russia would not be the same. The Russians defeated Hitler - by necessity - not by choice. Just ask Molotov and Ribbentrop ... Hitler and Stalin had carved up Poland, Baltic areas, Finland -- and the germans scuttled the deal and attacked ussr.  

glorious hitler ? I think not.  and the Fin's still remember Stalinist/ Putinist history of Russia- they remember Molotov and Ribbentrop..... they'll mix you a "cocktail"  if you don't believe it.

good for Klaus/  at least he's going down swinging

The amount of Russians which died at the hands of the invading Germans pales in comparison to the amount that the blood thirsty and murderous Bolsheviks killed.

Look up Igor Bunich and Operation Groza, there is far more to the history of WWII....

 

"You must understand. The leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the "Russian Revolution." It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators."

AH was a gullible fool, when it came to the English leadership. 

He assumed that he could connect with them because of the German blood that the English monarchy had.

What he foolishly overlooked, was that (a) the English aristocracy was not German, and (b) the bankers were Rothschild Jews or under their Zionist thumb.

It turned into a fatal misjudgment. Added to 2 other fatal miscalculations that AH made, and that ended up costing them everything.

The "humanistic" EU is very easy meat for the sleazy barbarians. The dark minded, medieval criminals don't even need a Trojan horse to take over GB, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, France and Sweden.

Europe is dying of old age. People stopped geting children because they see no future anymore for their kids so to continue the socialist pipedream they have to import foreign future workers to be educated through the European schooling systems to create future wage-slave.

current problem is the current import that does not have the work-ethics of Europeans. That is causing problems for some years till their offspring enters the work force.

besides, we are in transition from centralized systems to decentralized systems an we live in interesting times for sure. Crypto currencies will be as big to humanity as the coming of internet, decentralized news and communications.

we can’t stop it, our future will be glorious. Freedom from centralized systems is coming. It is already happening.

could it be that the universe and life are already blockchains? Life copied in technology.

"...That is causing problems for some years till their offspring enters the work force."

Dear God NO!  They will NEVER be useful - not after 100 generations!  It is not about any work ethic or culture - it is all about IQ and genetics.

The average IQ in the middle east is around 85... the average IQ in Africa is much lower!!  And do not tell me that a European education will fix the problem!  That confuses IQ with education - average IQ in Pakistan is 84 whilst the average IQ of a 3rd generation Pakistani in the UK is 86 (let that sink in! 50 years of schooling made almost no difference!!)

You noticed some dog breeds are smart and some are not?  It is what they are BORN with, not what they learn.  Exactly the same with people!!!

IQ is genetic - their offspring will all be stupid too.

Actually, that was my thought too - but I have gained from it!  I did some more digging myself and came across this - DNA tests for IQ!

"A year ago, no gene had ever been tied to performance on an IQ test. Since then, more than 500 have, thanks to gene studies involving more than 200,000 test takers. Results from an experiment correlating one million people’s DNA with their academic success are due at any time."

Can't wait to hear what the: "we are all born equal, microagression, safe space crowd" say about that!

Nope we are not moving to a decentralized system, quite the opposite. Bit-scam will morph onto Gov-coin, its not about freedom, track every transaction delete your funds enslave the world. Just try and open an account under its none of your buisnes. The dollar gave you true freedom untraceable yet you rejected it. The internet is now dead, censorship is rampant and growing. Children are not being educated anymore. They are told that there are many genders, and if the parents tells them the truth, the children are being taken away.
