    After a long fight with farmers of the Netherlands, the Farmers Party took over the upper house of parliament earlier this spring. Now the ruling coalition that was forcing EU and WEF conditions on those farmers has fallen apart and the government has collapsed. I don't know what will happen next, as I am not familiar with how their system works, but I suspect there will be an election if another coalition cannot be formed. A new election could lead to a takeover by nationalist forces such as took place in Italy recently as the EU appears to be falling apart.

    One can only hope. But the EU shall not go gentle into that good night.

    I recall when Ireland voted "No" on joining. There was a second vote taken, because the first result was the wrong answer.

    With the Netherlands, Italy, and perhaps Greece having issues with the EU, and with France courting BRICS, the EU's days may be numbered. It will leave Germany as the only real economy left.

    I still stand in amazement of their successful Reunification.

    Whatever the situation, France has always had its feet in both doors.

    Hey no problem the border is open and they can all come over here, we'll even see they get snap cards and free Housing. At one time 35 years ago Germany was still using gold, this farmer I worked for younger Brother married a German Girl and her Father was a pretty high up management person with the German airline. He gave them 50,000 in gold coin as a wedding present. The Problem with Germany is they have no room to expand and grow and they have to invent jobs so the population all have jobs. For example they have laws such as your car having any body damage, it is not allowed on the road no matter how bad or not bad but simply damaged. It ensures a job for people and that is how they handle it. There is no room for large yards or gardens etc etc just not enough room !!! That brothers wife did not like her young children going to the schools here in La and she gave him an ultimatum, come with us back to Germany or else.

    He did not go with her but finally did go and he enjoyed it because he was a German also but an American born German and of course he spoke German as well as the natives because his Father and Mother were Native Germans and of course they spoke German at home. They lived out in the first block of the Woodlands outside Houston. So he was in a bar there in Germany having a beer after work and all the locals were sitting around and they were bad mouthing Americans about something that came on the news. He said they just kept going on and on and on and finally he got enough and let them know he was an American and we were the only ones that would lift a finger to help Germany. The crowd got quieter. :D I ran into him down the highway at the little truck shop 14 years ago and I almost didn't recognize him since it had been so long the last time I saw him. I never got around to visiting his Brother who I had worked for, I am not much of a visitor in my old age.
