“The idea of Eurocrats posing as defenders of European democracy is ironic. A torrent of legislation spills from Brussels every year. And Brussels’s imperial yearnings are well known by now and include a standing army, a flag, an anthem, civil and military police and, of course, an internal spying mechanism that will do to Europeans what Eurocrats indignantly reject from the US. The EU is every bit as determined to build a Surveillance State like the US’s and, in fact, they are surely partners in such a venture. The indignation that European leaders now evince is for show only. The reality is an elite that has the same goals and intends to use the same methods and violations of privacy to get there.”
