Bear bait

This is a small excerpt from an article on national borders (i.e.national sovereignty) vs. the European Union by Theodore Dalrymple. The article concerns the fact that EU bureaucrats are currently pushing for "Euro scepticism" to be declared a psychiatric disorder. The implications are extensive and frightening particularly for those of a 'spiritual' disposition. Charles Colson warned some years ago that those who believed in a superior being might one day be labelled as having a psychiatric disorder, this push by EU authorities shows how easily such thinking could be both entertained and facilitated. This small excerpt shows how any argument against the 'collective' threatens rather than providing opportunity for discussion and when that happens the only solution is power.

Recently I attended the public defence of a PhD dissertation at Leiden University by a young Dutch legal philosopher, Thierry Baudet, published in English as The Significance of Borders: Why Representative Government and the Rule of Law Require Nation States. What was striking to me as an observer was the extreme emotional antagonism of some of the professors to the candidate argument. It was not merely that they thought him in error, or even thought him wicked: it was their entire Weltanschauung that he challenged and threatened, and upon which they had based their lives and careers. At least one was quite literally shaking as he spoke.
 

This is also an indication of how far ahead the 'intellectual elites' have managed to forge with their 'One World government plans'. That to question the idea is not merely to differ in opinion, but it is morally inferior and more than that; it is threatening to the status quo. And we all know what happens when you threaten a bureaucrat with his finger on many triggers!

Please forgive my conspiracy mindset, I usually deplore such thinking but find myself in that forbidden zone more and more these days. I suspect that when the moment does finally arrive it will come upon us like a bear trap...seemingly sudden and without warning, that is until we look back and see the signs along the back path.

I so hope that I am wrong and that all is copacetic.
