European Union Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker
There’s an old joke in politics that says a gaff is defined as when a politician accidently tells the truth. That’s not a bad definition. Generally, those in high office are masters at concealing their true beliefs and motives.
But every now and then, the mask slips. Barak Obama famously accused rural Americans of bitterness and of clinging to their guns and religion.
During the 2016 presidential election, Hilary Clinton called Donald Trump’s supporters “deplorables” whom she accused of being homophobic, Islamophobic, etc.
Joining these two gaffers is current European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. Apparently, Juncker is running a little scared, what with all the push back the EU is getting, whether from the Brexiteers in Great Britain or from Victor Orban in Hungary or from Italy.
In the run up to the last weekend’s European Union (EU) election’s, CNN reported that Juncker lashed out at “stupid nationalists.” According to many polls, populists, for example Nigel Farage and his Brexit party, were gaining momentum against supporters of the EU as the election drew near. The populists, just to be clear, are those who favor national independence, whereas those who support the EU are globalists who think that individual nations should be subordinated to supranational governmental structures such as the EU.
This didn’t sit will with Juncker, who loves him some globalism. Said Juncker, “These populist, nationalists, stupid nationalists, they are in love with their own countries.”
This is one of those quotes that you should put on a sign and hang it on your wall. This is globalism in all its tyrannical ugliness. With his remarks, Juncker shows just how much he, and by extension, other globalists hate the Protestant Westphalian World Order and patriots who reject world government.
If this weren’t enough, Juncker went on to pour further contempt on Europeans who dislike mass, welfare immigration. Said Juncker, “They [the populists] don’t like those coming from far away, I like those coming from far away…we have to act in solidarity with those who are in a worse situation than we are in.”
This is a very strange argument. Juncker for some reason, he doesn’t say why, he merely asserts it, that Europeans have to act in solidarity, not with their own best interests or with their children’s’ best interests, but in solidarity with the interests of foreigners who come to live at their expense. This altruism – altruism is the anti-Christian notion that need creates an obligation – is currently destroying large parts of Europe, and will, if allowed to continue, eventually destroy it entirely.
Unsurprisingly, the Pope, the greatest globalists of them all, echoed Juncker’s comments in his remarks on May 27. The Pope, apparently thinking that Europeans should happily stand by why their countries are destroyed, expressed concern about the “meanness” and the “fear” supposedly evidenced by populists who reject the EU and mass, welfare subsidized immigration.
It was God who divided mankind into nations at the Tower of Babel. The Apostle Paul tells us in his Mars Hill sermon that God made all the nations of the earth “that they should seek the Lord.” Our globalist masters of the universe hate independent nations and love their Tower of Babel world government that men may worship them.
Let’s tell the globalists to get lost.
“Our globalist masters of the universe hate independent nations and love their Tower of Babel world government”.
Not sure why, but I had never put 2 and 2 together before about the Tower of Babel, that it was one world government. Thx for writing that!
Yes, the EU is definitely globalist and their leaders arrogant. It would be great to see their demise and the sovereignty of the nations restored.
It would be a great day to see the EU and other globalist enterprises collapse into dust.
I agree that Juncker is a deceitful globalists. His dislike of nationalist is because it hinders the speed of their United States of Europe.
However “altruism is the anti-Christian” idea? Is Jesus christ’s sacrifice on the cross not the epitome of altruism? Self sacrifice for teh greater good?
Is “altruism” not pushed in the US and western military. Their lives for the greater good?
Hi and thanks for your comments. Altruism, as I defined it in the post, is the idea that need creates an obligation. Although sinful man has need of a Savior, God is in no way obligated to save anyone. We are saved by his grace alone. For this reason, I do not consider Christ’s death on the cross to be altruistic.
You are correct that altruism is pushed by the military/security/neoconservative folks. You’ll hear them talk about the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) meaning that American have the obligation in intervene in nations our leaders do not think are being run properly. In my opinion, R2P is simply an attempt to give a moralistic veneer to the underlying globalism of these people. The only people the American military should be protecting are Americans. The rest is just empire building.
