    WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    In my family here in Nova Scotia.....
    the term "anti-Christ" was OFTEN used as a term of endearment and referred to a red blood teenager who often got into trouble......

    I have to admit that there seems to be something decidedly OFF in the mind set of us Canadians???????


    It is almost like many of us Canadians play around with the Dark Side of The Force.....
    and of course.....
    this gets us into spiritual trouble????!

    Are Superheroes Immortal?






    Super heroes would tend to be kind of boring if it were not for super villains?!?!

    This means they are either secure that they will be voted in again - or they want to make sure that the liberal judges will not legislate from the bench the way they do in the US and change the Polish culture into their own image.


    That's just your opinion. I think there's a lot more to it than that.

    What you know is that some are protesting against the reforms. What you don't know is how many might be protesting for the reforms, because that's something the media will not tell you.

    As an example: The Sun was the only paper that reported on the anti vaxer protests in New York City, and on Youtube it mentions several hundred protesters. Yet the real amount protesting were 40 thousand. Big difference!

    But it's not just in this country that the MSM hides information. They control the major news outlets throughout the world. I recall two years ago reading about a massive protest in Athens.

    People had come from all over Greece and it was estimated to be almost 1 million people - which would be more than 1/10th of the population. I saw videos from the air, and the protests covered a large segment of Athens - yet, the MSM reported it as being less than a thousand. So I would no more accept what the MSM says, then I would the polls - which have proven themselves to be nothing more than political tools.

    Now l
    et me ask you something, do you really think that the Poles, who are not only nationalistic but have a strict adherence to their Catholic faith, would accept the immoral and crazy laws that Brussels has been trying to impose on the EU?

    The same Pakistanis, Afghans, Bangladesh and other Muslims that are being thrown into Greece by Turkey to take over the country. Okay I know Poland has a large population and it's not so easy to take it over - but there will be attempts and terrorist attacks and who wants that.

    Get this....
    Countries agreed to give up parts of their sovereignty to the EU when they joined the EU out of free will.
    Like a married couple where both sign a contract, and after some years one side says it's no longer committed to the deal, but expect the other side to keep on giving.

    So how is this enslavement? Poland is freaking free as a bird to leave the EU when they want to, just like the UK.

    It would be a big deal for Poland. It would be their liberation. Finally!
    I hope so.
    Whenever someone strikes gold you can expect a "rush".
    Liberation!
    I prefer death.
    That has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with it. Globalization is a scourge and the EU has become a mafia-like organization bent on destroying Democracy completely. Brexit and the Visegrád Group are leading the way out of European misery.

    Europe did fine without the EU. It created great civilizations, science and people. It populated the USA and enabled it to prosper. It even had wars that crushed tyranny and created free people's from the French Revolution to the conflicts which ended the Dark Ages.

    There's only one problem with Poland leaving the EU, and it's that it will get closer to the US. There are parties now in Germany that want to remove the American nukes, but the fear is that if they do, then they might be placed in Poland and endanger the whole continent.

    I hope you're wrong about that. My wish is that more nations follow the Visegrád Group model.

    Just a thought:

    When the EU was being formed someone visited Elder Paisius in Mount Athos and told him how thrilled he was about it. The Elder, now Saint Paisius, told him not to look at the US, where everyone brought a piece of cloth and together they made a rug. In Europe, the nations have already made their rugs, and when they try to attach them they will all be pulling in their own directions.

    He said the EU will break up and Germany will be the cause. Personally I sensed it from 2012, to the point where I didn't want my grandson to get a job in London - something he always dreamed about, because I didn't feel they had a future.

    I spent about ten years of my Army career in Germany. I loved it. Then came the reunification. Germany wasn't so wonderful anymore. But I'm glad I had the opportunity.

    I did sense in 2012 that the EU would break up, maybe because of what was done to Greece. I don't really know! But I did have a premonition then.

    What freaked me out about the EU is when I read that Britain will have to re-industrialize because it was meant to be the financial nation. Germany was supposed to be the industrial nation, France the agricultural nation, Greece the tourist nation, and so on and so forth.

    I found this upsetting, because I always felt that every province and town in the world should be self sufficient in necessities for survival in case of a catastrophe - whether it be natural or a war. Yet with globalism it's the exact opposite, every area is dependent on another area.

    Who in the world thinks up those things? Oh that's right I forgot, it's the economy stupid.

    I'm not blaming Germany, that's what Saint Paisius said. I think it's for two reason, one is that Germany looks out for its own financial interests to the detriment of the other members - which is only natural, but it does mean that the EU is not working as a unit.

    Right now Germany wants to keep Poland in the EU because of the German investments - that is unless they're really under orders to do so by the banks. I say this because Soros wrote a letter telling the EU to clamp down hard on Poland and Hungary and then wrote a second letter which was removed from the internet, saying they would have to change their policy and start indebting the individual nations rather than the EU as a whole.

    I know the EU sacrificed Greece to pay off the banks when they could have been out of debt in 2 years like Iceland. They then imposed austerity to hinder their economic growth, so they wouldn't be able pay off their debts and be forced to sell off their assets.

    When I talk of enslavement, I'm talking about the Great Reset, which is the formation of a liberal One World Government similar to, but not exactly like the Soviet Union. Everything will be owned by the corporations and they will be the ones controlling the government, and not the people.

    To manage it, they have to take away everyone's affinity towards family, faith, heritage, culture and all sense of belonging and turn them into robots. Isn't that what they're doing in the EU and US?

    As for Poland, I think they are going to leave because they're being fined something like 1 million euros a day, and they said they will not pay. In the meantime, after having their guns aiming at Russia and doing everything possible to destroy Nordstream, they're now begging Russia to lower the price of gas.

    These people are unbelievable. Instead of being diplomatic, they antagonize, provoke, insult Russia constantly, and then when in need turn around and ask for favors.

    I don't do Qanonsense.



    They aren't fined. They aren't getting a free handout that they need. A need to help them stand on their own feet.
    You really know nothing.

    Could I correct your post a bit? They want to be paid by the US. If it's necessary to be closer to whom pays (in any sense) then they are agree :)

    Long ago Charles de Gaulle advocated a different European architecture. He called it the "Europe of the Fatherlands" and it was essentially a close alliance of sovereign states without any supra-national bureaucracy. Unfortunately (IMHO) that was a road not taken.

    Not surprisingly, brexit has been a disaster for Great Britain.

    Seven years after the 2016 referendum, and three years after Brexit actually happened, opinion has shifted markedly. As the academic Matthew Goodwin wrote recently, some 60 per cent of Britons now think Brexit was the wrong decision and would vote to rejoin the EU at a second referendum. An average of recent polls shows 58 per cent of voters not only regretting Brexit, but actively favouring Rejoin. It is easy to understand why. Brexit was sold as a way of controlling immigration and improving the NHS. But the NHS is now in far worse shape than it was in 2016. Immigration into the UK remains very high, with EU immigrants largely replaced by people from outside the bloc. And the IMF predicts that Britain will have the worst performing economy in the developed world this year. Demographics and economics suggest that the Rejoin sentiment will strengthen over time. Young voters are the most pro-EU of the lot, with 79 per cent of 18- to 24-year-olds wanting to rejoin. And, sadly, the damage done to the UK economy by Brexit is likely to become increasingly evident.

    The EU makes sense to people who want their government managed by another government. It makes no sense to me.

    Hopefully, the entire authoritarian and anti-democratic EU goes away. All the countries of Europe really need is a free trade agreement and democracy for each member state.

    There already is a free trade agreement within EU countries.

    They already had the option of keeping the pound.! Majority of people now wish they voted for EU. It's laughable how people like you attack the EU when the EU is modelled on the US system.
