Angela Merkel, Teflon No Longer
The American Conservative ^ | June 21, 2018 | Doug Bandow

Posted on 06/23/2018 2:01:38 PM PDT by Colonel Kangaroo

German Chancellor Angela Merkel could be out of a job and her country headed towards elections barely 100 days after the formation of her new government, which took six months to form. It would be a performance worthy of, well, Italy, and all because the stolid, reliable Bavarian conservatives who spent years acting as a doormat for her chancellorship turned into raging populists. They now demand that Berlin bar entry of foreign migrants from other European Union states. A majority of Germans are in agreement.

That makes even less realistic French President Emmanuel Macron’s proposed “reforms” that would shift even more power to Brussels. Berlin had already largely demurred from Macron’s plan, offering a basket of half-measures in response. “Solidarity must never lead to a debt union,” Merkel explained. Now Macron, who vanquished the National Front’s Marine Le Pen in last year’s presidential race, will have to adapt to a Europe that is moving sharply away from him.

For instance, the United Kingdom continues to stagger towards Brexit, under Theresa May’s desultory premiership. The EU remains a populist foil in Greece, which, under the left-wing Syriza government, is imposing another round of pension cuts to satisfy EU creditors. Hungary’s populist Viktor Orbán, a former liberal, was reelected two months ago with an overwhelming parliamentary majority.

The people of the European countries are rising up against their globalist masters and Merkel may soon be the highest profile elite turned out of office.

As Italy's Salvini said of an Italian election, it “will be a referendum between Italy and those on the outside who want us to be a servile, enslaved nation on our knees.”

The only possible motive for Merkel’s immigration policies is that she’s bought and paid for with Saudi money.

“...the European countries are rising up against their globalist masters and Merkel may soon be the highest profile elite turned out of office...”

That’s worth repeating cause that’s about the size of it Colonel.

Turn off the lights for Merkel and the elite Eurotrash countries. Apparently, in this long essay, President Trump was not mentioned by the elite studying the demise of the elite Eurotrash and not willing to say, "It's over turn of the lights!

The picture below, tells us all we need to know re what happened in Canada, earlier this month to Merkel and her fellow elite Euro thugs! Merkel and her EU gang are now irrelevant.

Thanks to Dead for posting this jpg.

What do you mean by that? What does Saudi money have to do with Merkel’s immigration policies?

Heck, even if she did actually succeed rather than be threatened with being removed from office, she STILL wouldn’t have a fourth reich, since she’d still be enslaved by Brussels and/or the Saudi Arabians, while openly not even caring in Germany loses out. Even the Nazis, the Third Reich, at least had the pretense of trying to make Germany a better country (even if the actual Nazis didn’t give a darn about actually making Germany better and were willing to let Germany become Islamized long before Merkel started letting refugees in). A fourth reich would require by definition that the Germans actually BE a dominant power, while the Germans right now are a joke, not even CLOSE to a dominant power right now. They were a heck of a lot closer to a dominant power during the early stages of the Cold War when they at least still had their patriotism and were actually willing to fight against the Soviets and their allies.
