Merkel: 'Nation-states must be prepared to give up their sovereignty'

German chancellor Angela Merkel gave a deeply disturbing speech at the Konrad Adenaur Foundation in Berlin, where she stated in no uncertain terms that the traditional idea of a nation-state is dead.

Zero Hedge:

"Nation states must today be prepared to give up their sovereignty", according to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who told an audience in Berlin that sovereign nation states must not listen to the will of their citizens when it comes to questions of immigration, borders, or even sovereignty.

No this wasn't something Adolf Hitler said many decades ago, this is what German Chancellor Angela Merkel told attendants at an event by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Berlin. Merkel has announced she won't seek re-election in 2021 and it is clear she is attempting to push the globalist agenda to its disturbing conclusion before she stands down.

What are we supposed to give up our sovereignty to? To what end? What’s going to replace it? They can’t even be up front about this. We’re just supposed to take their word for it. They’re leading us into hell.

More thrust than the 32,500lbs X 2 - J-58 in the SR-71.

Of course, these wouldn’t fit....but 43,500lbs - I think they’re using these on commercial jets, too. I think.

The J-35 is sporting 40,000+ lbs or so. Single engine.

You can take the East German communist out of East Germany but you can’t take the communist out of the East German.

...sovereign nation states must not listen to the will of their citizens...

As an American, I believe the following:

Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Merkel does not believe any of this, obviously.

Any leader of ANY country who makes such a statement needs to be removed immediately, charged and hanged

Merkel thinks she’ll be in charge after everyone cedes their sovereignty. She sees herself ruling an empire.

There was a man, also from Germany, a few years back who had similar idea. It didn’t end well.

Stasi wench.

One would have thought then West Germany would have been smart enough to preclude East Germans from holding any government office upon reunification.

These people believe they’re above their citizens and their will is irrelevant.
I can find you some quotes from some American politicians doing just that as well...if you want.

Barack Obama's Final Speech to the United Nations

Of course, he doesn't say it so outright like she did, but he said it in his usual long winded manner...just like others have before him.
Want some more?

Give sovereignty to whom exactly? Germany is my guess. An EU controlled by Germany. Did a little guy try this a few years back? Give Germany a chance and life will be great—FOR GERMANS. Reminds me of the Delian League in Ancient Greece—until Athens took over and made it the Athenian Empire. Made it so no members were permitted to leave. Not cool.

She is importing Islamonazis because the Germans have too few home grown Nazis for her liking . . .

The SR-71 ‘Blackbird’ was/is still one of my favorites. The records it still holds are amazing.
