A disturbance in the force

I am getting a creepy vibe. The UK's Nigel Farage addressed the European Parliament and sums it up.

This is really serious stuff, more sinister than the economic crisis we all face. Leaving aside tiny Greece, the elected leader of Italy, a G8 economy, was essentially forced from power by a small cadre of unelected bureaucrats from outside the country. Can you imagine what the uproar would be if China forced Obama out of office and installed Jamie Dimon as President? That is essentially what has happened to Italy.

Silvio Berlusconi may or may not have been a lousy Italian leader, but his election was a decision left to the Italian people. No more. Spain and perhaps even France will be next into the breech.

All of this world chaos is going to continue until the 1940s - 1950s crowd is finally out of power. Farage (b. 1964) is a good start towards sanity.

I long for the day when this vile generation ultimately becomes a population minority, can't vote their contemporaries into government over and over again, can't continue to steal from the impoverished young to benefit the wealthy elderly, and so forth. I will smirk while their kids and grandkids treat them with the utmost contempt and scorn and push them into the grave as quickly as possible. And this day is coming sooner than most 50/60-somethings realize.

Farage has been in their faces (Brussels) about this for YEARS, has been right on all along, and yet is still essentially pissing in the wind. The insanity is funny / tragic.

A German Pope and an Itallian Central Banker...that's gonna end in tears.

A little over a decade ago, there was talk that the Brits and Blair would have a nationwide referendum on joining the euro. They even did a trial run with outlawing fox hunting as the first national referndum item. The europhiles got scared and never pushed it.
