Would you care to elaborate on her latest statement?<\/p>\n<p>Thank you from Berlin<\/p>\n<p>PH<\/p>\n<p><strong>ANSWER:<\/strong> Merkel has stepped down as leader of the CDU. She knows that she is on the way out. She hopes to cling to her position of power until she is dragged out by the hair. This statement is indeed the behind the curtain view. But she qualified that statement insofar as yielding sovereignty to Brussels over especially migration. This is a shot\u00a0across the bow at the rising nationalism. You must look at the entire statement she made in order to expose the thinking process.<\/p>\n<p>Merkel condemned any notion that Germany should join a fast-growing number of nations pulling out of the migration agreement. Even Australia pulled out of the UN migration agreement. She said that <strong>\u201cthere were [politicians] who believed that they could decide when these agreements are no longer valid because they are representing The People\u201d<\/strong>. What is interesting is how she is splitting a democratic form of government which represents the people and one of an anti-democratic position because politicians know better than the people. She continued to remark that \u201cthe people are individuals who are living in a country, they are not a group who define themselves as the [German] people.\u201d She holds the position that\u00a0migration is inevitable, necessary and desirable. She refuses to admit that allowing in the refugees was a mistake.<\/p>\n<p>Her reasoning\u00a0states that nationalism <strong>\u201cis not patriotism, because patriotism is when you include others in German interests and accept win-win situations.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Merkel &amp; Macron Tag-Team \u2013 Surrender Sovereignty to Brussels QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; Merkel has come out and said that\u00a0\u201cNation states must today be prepared to give up their sovereignty.\u201d This is what you have been saying that the agenda is to federalize Europe.
