Secret Squirrel has discovered that scientists believe that New York is actually sinking, NOT that the sea is rising…so evidenced at the url here……

http://www.triplepundit.com/2016/09/new-york-city-sinking-no-one-knows/

Secret Squirrel asks, “Do you have that certain sinking feeling?” It has been decided that it is NOT the rising sea levels responsible for the rising seas, but actually the measure of all things American, is New York City, and THEY have determined that it is NOT rising sea levels, but actually New York City, SINKING, that is causing it to appear that the sea is rising.So any rulers stuck in by the sea to measure things being what they are or were or are not and will be…show the land sinking not the sea rising…..oh well one or the other……..either way have to equip with water wings and waterproof inflatable undies if we are to save our selves. But there may well be another solution, and Squirrel as you know, has suggestions, solutions for problems……

Secret Squirrel has figured out an engineering project such that we can no longer have to fear the effects of ANY global warming, if it exists at all.In short any rising seas will not trouble us at all,whatsoever, nay not even yet ever!
Isn’t it all easier to put the colony of Canada to good use, we simply excavate it all out, and then lead a trench in from the sea, but a trench joining the sea, at sea level as it were, such that as and IF the sea rises, or the lands fall, the excess will thence run into and down the trench…..this huge created inland sea will absorb ALL the excess water from any global warming effects, and also compensate for the falling of land masses such that there is an effect of the sea rising, and so not necessitate us to do anything at all else and certainly not inconvenience us further. An alternate selection to the colony of Canada is, as Squirrel likes to put forwards and present alternatives and alternates, is,of course, the trouble makers of Europe, the France and Germany……..they also could be used, individually and or in twain….but then, to be on the safe side,why not the lot of them? Eh! Whot!

Secret Squirrel,
MRL,MP,Dunny On The Wold,
Minister For Re-Deranged Re-Engineering.

Secret Squirrel has seen that there has come a time,now to be exact, when Europe must standardize the language,the common language,must
have a single OFFICIAL language, and of course the only logical solution that Squirrel sees,is english, BUT ,they, of course ,all won’t agree,there being 23 languages in use in Europe,BUT many are,of course, very minor in nature and use, and too highly complex to be, of course, considered for THE common language.Now, that really,logically, leaves only THREE major contenders, French,German, and,the logical one, English.

Now Mark Twain  In his essay The Awful German Language  spares no pains to prove German has horrific horrible shortcomings, complete disorder and lack of system,words far too complex and long, far too many odd umlauts and things, utterly ridiculous pronounciation etc so what with the wisdoms of Twain preceeding use, we can utterly and completely reject German, besides nobody in Europe really likes them what with the World Wars you know, so they’re easily voted out. Now, what of the french. Well,Mark Twain also commented, rightly on the french language, he found it to be, as it is,”a mess of trivial sounds”, and frenchman themselves, as a link between man and monkey.So that leaves us with only on logical choice,English.

Now all Europeans, and indeed those all over the world, already speak English, or a form of it,some form of it, an odd form of it, mixed with their own. English ius an easy language, but we can, for the genereral European intelect, make it much easier for them, by modifying such that even they can then speak it and
write it perfectly well, and we sahll as you shall see. Now Twain saw English as the best language, adaptable, but a bit flawed and wished to change it’s rules such that it would be easier to master, and he did this, expounding on this, in his “A Plan for the Improvement of English Spelling”,what he suggested here follows with suitable example as provided by that great mind……….

(Directly from his work…)
For example, in Year 1 that useless letter “c” would be dropped to be replased either by “k” or “s,” and likewise “x” would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which “c” would be retained would be the “ch” formation, which will be dealt with later.

Year 2 might reform “w” spelling, so that “which” and “one” would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish “y” replasing it with “i” and Iear 4 might fiks the “g / j” anomali wonse and for all.

Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants. Bai Iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez “c,” “y,” and “x” – bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez – tu riplais “ch,” “sh,” and “th” rispektivli.

Here we can see he was working hard at it.

There was yet another lad who worked hard at modifying the English language and suggested the necessary changes to make it more acceptable to all of the world…….

And here is the W. K. Lessing (Dolton Edwards ) piece as it appeared in the September 1946 issue of Astounding Science Fiction magazine:

Meihem In Ce Klasrum
by Dolton Edwards.
Because we are still bearing some of the scars of our brief skirmish with II-B English, it is natural that we should be enchanted with

Mr. George Bernard Shaw’s proposal for a simplified alphabet.

Obviously, as Mr. Shaw points out, English spelling is in much need of a general overhauling and streamlining. However, our resistance to any changes requiring a large expenditure of mental effort in the near future would cause us to view with some apprehension the possibility of some day receiving a morning paper printed in – to us – Greek.

Our own plan would achieve the same end as the legislation proposed by Mr. Shaw, but in a less shocking manner, as it consists merely of an acceleration of the normal processes by which the language is continually modernized.

As a catalytic agent, we would suggest that a “National Easy Language Week” be proclaimed, which the President would inaugurate, outlining some short cut to concentrate on during the week, and to be adopted during the ensuing year. All school children would be given a holiday, the lost time being the equivalent of that gained by the spelling short cut.

In 1946, for example, we would urge the elimination of the soft “c,” for which we would substitute “s.” Sertainly, such an improvement would be selebrated in all sivic-minded sircles as being suffisiently worth the trouble, and students in all sities in the land would be reseptive toward any change eliminating the nesessity of learning the differense between the two letters.

In 1947, sinse only the hard “c” would be left, it would be possible to substitute “k” for it, both letters being pronounsed identikally. Imagine how greatly only two years of this prosess would klarify the konfusion in the minds of students. Already we would have eliminated an entire letter from the alphabet. Typewriters and linotypes kould all be built with one less letter, and all the manpower and materials previously devoted to making “c’s” kould be turned toward raising the national standard of living.

In the fase of so many notable improvements, it is easy to foresee that by 1948, “National Easy Language Week” would be a pronounsed sukses. All skhool tshildren would be looking forward with konsiderable exsitement to the holiday, and in a blaze of national publisity it would be announsed that the double konsonant “ph” no longer existed, and that the sound would henseforth be written with “f ” in all
words. This would make sutsh words as “fonograf” twenty persent shorter in print.

By 1949, publik interest in a fonetik alfabet kan be expekted to have inkreased to the point where a more radikal step forward kan be taken without fear of undue kritisism. We would therefore urge the elimination at that time of al unesesary double leters, whitsh, although quite harmles, have always ben a nuisanse in the language and a desided deterent to akurate speling. Try it yourself in the next leter you write, and se if both writing and reading are not fasilitated.

With so mutsh progrs already made, it might be posible in 1950 to delve further into the posibilities of fonetik speling. After due konsideration of the reseption aforded the previous steps, it should be expedient by this time to spel al difthongs fonetikaly. Most students do not realize that the long “i” and “y,” as in “time” and “by,” are aktualy the difthong “ai,” as it is writen in “aisle,” and that the long “a” in “fate” is in reality the difthong “ei” as in “rein.” Although perhaps not imediately aparent, the seiving in taime and efort wil be tremendous when we leiter elimineite the sailent “e,” as meide posible bai this last tsheinge.

For, as is wel known, the horible mes of “e’s” apearing in our writen language is kaused prinsipaly bai the present nesesity of indekeiting whether a vowel is long or short. Therefore, in 1951 we kould simply elimineite al sailent “e’s” and kontinu to read and wrait merily along as though we wer in an atomik eig of edukation.

In 1951 we would urg a greit step forward. Sins bai this taim it would hav ben four years sins anywun had usd the leter “c,” we would sugest that the “National Easy Languag Wek” for 1951 be devoted to substitution of “c” for “Th.” To be sur it would be som taim befor peopl would bekom akustomd to reading ceir newspapers and buks wic sutsh sentenses in cem as “Ceodor caught he had cre cousand cistls
crust crough ce cik of his cumb.”

In ce seim maner, bai meiking eatsh leter hav its own sound and cat sound only, we kould shorten ce languag stil mor. In 1952 we would eliminait ce “y”; cen in 1953 we kould us ce leter to indekeit ce “sh” sound, cerbai klarifaiing words laik yugar and yur, as wel as redusing bai wun mor leter al words laik “yut,” “yor,” and so forc.

Ah we can see the great minds at work here, great minds thinking alike, minds very much the almost equal to that of Secret Squirrel,but not quite mind.

Ben Franklin(in England mostly noted for his membership in The Naughty Hellfire Club,and also being regarded as the biggest traitor to England) also saw flaws in English and suggested changes to it as well.Benjamin Franklin’s phonetic alphabet was Benjamin Franklin’s proposal for a spelling reform of the English language. It used many of the same letters, but changed some of them and what sounds they
represented. It was one of the earliest proposed spelling reforms to the English language.

So we can see that English is changeable,adaptable, and will still be english for all of us, and so then we must adapt them in to our language by adapting thelanguage in totheir language,and so by means of syncretism, adapt them in to our language and absrob them in to our proper language by changing our adaptable and ever changing language to include and absorb them properlyto assimilate them, in to it so that they see the light and embrace English as the language, the sole language, the official language of Europe. Ah, yes, but how to do that? Well, we can do that, it can be done, all by proper tried and true scintific m,ethod, embracing and using the ever adapting,inclusive and changing nature of the English language itself……to quote the Borg, “They shall be assimilated.”.More than
300m use English as their first foreign language and half of these regard themselves as fluent.English has become Europe’s second language of choice with two thirds of people in the continent able to speak it, according to a survey.A logical choice for THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE,of Europe, ans yes, of the world,indeed.English is already Europe’s lingua franca and it’s time for politicians and educators of Europe to realize and acknowledge that fact.English began its development in Great Britain and was spread across the globe through the Commonwealth nations. It became so influential across the Commonwealth that countries adopted English above and beyond their own languages.

Back to the case of India; with more than 22,000 languages and dialects it is perhaps clear why English became so popular and unifying. However, Hindi, being the most widely spoken language in India, never became the national language. Linguistic experts point out that the speed and depth with which the English language became so popular globally is unbelievable.The English language has taken
on words from many other languages and cultures, giving it its great diversity. There are mnay German, Greek, Latin and French words that have been assimilated by the English language – from avatar, bazaar, bungalow to bandanna and cummerbund.

The major reason as to why the English language is so popular is down to its simplicity and flexibility.English must become the single official language of the European Parliament, defeating its many diplomatic resisters,the 23 other languages of Europe.but how?

Well………

The main feature of the English language that has made is so popular globally, is the language’s adaptability.

What does adaptability mean?Well….change………ability to include, such as words, or adapted words, adapted phonetics,written and spoken………..evolution,ability to evolve,ability to assimilate and be assimilated,that’s adaptability, that which other languages………………..lack.

Now we must change English such that it incorporates some elements of all the languges of the world, mixed in as spoken by all those others of the world, and believe you me it can be done, it IS slowly being done as exampled by such English language versions as Ebonics, Spanglish etc etc etc.Not to overhaul english would be linguistic racism……….this is an organized set of attitude,sideas,and practices that deny a racialized group those who do not speak engish as such,the
dignity,opportunities,freedoms and rewards that speaking english properly does, face it they all speak it differently and so then if english is to be the base language of europe it must adapt and make itself flexible and understandable to all, nicht wahr, as it were, or och eye as it is not.,this means speakers and hearers share access to understandings of the pronounciation of the words of the modified,improved,more socially and politically correct version of english to be used by all,whilst acknowledging the inferiority of their own rejected language.This adaptation allows for the leakage of the presumed pronounciation features of their forms of english in to english thus subordinating their language of pronounciation to the proper english.thus their way of pronounciation will be radially subordinate to the correct and proper standard of english.Not to overhaul english would be linguistic racism……….we must, nay,we are forced to, for no to creates a
 set of attitudes,ideas,and practices that deny a racialized group those who do not speak english as such,the dignity,opportunities,freedoms and rewards that speaking english properly does, face it they all speak it differently and so then if english is to be the base language of europe it must adapt and make itself flexible and understandable to all, nicht wahr, as it were, or och eye as it is not,this means speakers and hearers share access to understandings of the pronounciation of the words of the modified,improved,more socially and politically correct version of engloish to be used by all,whilst acknowledging the inferiority of
their own rejected language.This adaptation allows for the leakage of the presumed pronounciation features of their forms of english in to english thus subordinating their language of pronounciation to the proper english….thus their way of pronounciation will be radially subordinate to the correct and proper standard of english,but we shall adapt such that they shall be able to properly pronounce
and utilize the English language to the fullest.

Now changes we shall make will be implimented in gradual stages such that each and evry individual of every other language speaking nation is accomodated, as we ourselves are and shall be….now….

In the first year, ‘s’ will replace the soft ‘c’. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard ‘c’ will be dropped in favour of the ‘k’. This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome ‘ph’ will be replased with the ‘f ‘. This will make words like ‘fotograf ‘ 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expected to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

Governments will enkorage the removal of double leters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent ‘e’ in the languag is disgraseful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing ‘th’ with ‘z’ and ‘w’ with ‘v’ to beter align the modified language with the kapabilities of the Euro speaker.

During ze fifz yer ze unesesary ‘o’ kan be dropd from vords kontaining ‘ou’ and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.

After ziz fifz yer ve vil hav a rali sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor truble or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer.

Ze drem vil finali kum tru! Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru. Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

But there is still something that plagues me over this though………..it does sound an awful lot like,and spell an awful lot like,some kind of kraut dialect you know.

Secret Squirrel,
MRL,MP,(Duny On The Wold),
Minister For Re-Deranged Re-Engineering.

Secret Squirrel here ponders Europe’s,The EEC’s, The European Union’s, The European Confederacy’s,currency,the Euro(also known as the Ecu), and their individual currencies, et all. In short, here we are taking up,Eurology, also known as taking the piss out, as Euro IS Greek for
piss, and very close to the actual truth it is as well.Firstly we have to ponder and consider what Europe as it presently is, is, in reality.Well, they don’t claim to be a country, but they do have a unified Parliament, with an elected but appointed (as of lately),President,(the people don’t get to vote, the States do, much as did the American Confederacy),and this parliament can rule, overrule the individual nations that make it up, in short, and in right proper terms, it is not specifically a nation as the United States is, not a Union as it were, but a Confederacy as it was, and as Europe is. Fine, so in structure, it seems they wish everybody to believe that they are separate, and individual,but and not a collected aggregate of states, as in the individual states of America, and so The United States, in the American Union.However they ALL must follow the rules of the Parliament, laws etc etc etc.If there is dissent, with a law,
the problematic law can be avoided in implementation in that location,but only for a time, and then must be conformed with.Militarily they seem to presently be able to control their individual armies, but we notice reductions taking place, particularly in England.They have not gone to what seems not to be, a unified military command,nor uniformed unified military.

Out of the European ,military alliance, this NATO, with some outside Europe member, and out of the EEC,The European Economic Union, was born,actually, the present entity that this so-called so-called United Europe is. It was out of this Unification of sorts, though it may be of all sorts, very much out of sorts, they derived the idea,of some
sorts, of a common currency, The EURO. Indeed the idea was simplistic, a Euro was worth so much of the nation state’s own currency.The basis was the fact that the many currencies of the world seemed to be pegged against the dollar, the US dollar, in short their value fluctuated against this fixed dollar,being worth so much against the dollar and compared with and to the dollar.

In practice, and reality, this was the same then for all member states, they could, for a time, continue to use and keep their own currency, but also use this second common currency,of fixed value, their currency being worth so many of their monetary units versus it, versus The Euro, the single Euro.In good time, the idea was to thence eventually abandon the state currency and use only the Euro.

It works in theory.It worked for America, as the individual states all had their own currency bfore they went to their common dollar.It worked at the time of the collapse of The American Confederacy which used their Confederate Dollar,when the Confederated States were absorbed,by military defeat, in to the United States, The Union as it were.So it works, and did work, in practice. But then there’s the reality of Europe,today, where nothing and nobody seems to work.Is the Euro in trouble? Yes, it’s value has gone down, fluctuated as it were and is. But why?Remember the value of anybody’s dollar or whatever you choose to call it, is purely artificial, it’s value is anything anybody in particular wishes to accept it’s value as being at any given time.Currency is just that, based on the barter system, a potato is worth so many dollars,based on the potato in question, at time of urchase, it can be worth more or less, depending on acceptance. Now, what is causing the Euro not to be so accepted? Well, there is this thing called the economy,which encompasses all goods and services,governmental expenditures,imports,exports,the GDP(Gross Domestic Product….they seemed to prefer this to GNP which formerly was known as The Gross National Product).

Now of the 23 European Union nations, 16 of those use the Euro,as well as several outside the European Union,but here we’ll deal only with those, and their GDP percentile national debt……

Austria           70.40%
Belgium           98.60
Cyprus            61.20
Estonia            7.70 (gee is this’n ever an embarrassment to Europe).
Finland           45.40
France            83.50
Germany           78.80
Greece           144.00
Ireland           94.20
Italy            118.00
Malta             72.60
Netherlands       64.60
Portugal          83.20
Slovakia          41.0
Slovenia          35.50
Spain             63.40

So the total of GDP percentile debt for European Union nations using the Euro, for the Euro, means the Euro European Union has a GDP percentile debt of 72.63% for their agregate GDP.At the formation and attempts to convert to the euro, the euro was run in parallel to the existtant currencies,and things went understandably downhill from there. The national debts of the nations using the Euro rose, and as the debt rose, so then did the value of the Euro fall,falling to the extent that today it is considerered to be a failed currency.Countries that play by the rules can collapse, and yet countries that run up wild debts,ever increasing such as the US, and Japan can remain stable for a lot longer than what math would suspect,their currencies still stable,you see the issue is political,not financial.You see in Europe, the European Union, there is really no central bank internally to control things,there is no central European Treasury with centralised economic and fiscal policy,so all the nations indulged in wild uncontrolled economic spending,particularly, Greece,Italy,Portugal,Ireland,Spain.It is now no longer a question of will the Euro fail, but rather when will it fail.The poorly led weak European governments lacked the essential backbone to take the decisions needed for essential economic reform,restraint, and in place of deficit reductions, engaged in policies increasing deficits with wild,uncontrolled abandon.The Euro,which was seen as a strong central currency within Europe, taking the place of the US dollar, all currencies revolving around it,the currencies rising and falling against it, was in fact not so.

Instead it was the currencies who cumulatively pulled down the value of the Euro globally.Any new attempts at debt restructuring will devalue the Eurozone currency in the same way as several south American countries have in the past.Should the Euro fail,
then a unified Europe,as an attempt as a Union( as the United States)will also fail, and simply become a reversion to the EEC(the European economic Union),a loose Confederacy,(as The American Conferacy).The monetary union WILL fail as each member states debt increases, and as those who join, similarly suffer from debt increases which are in fact inevitable due to the times……..recession has, and will ,kill off the European economic Union.In good economic times, the differences could just
about be accommodated but the tensions became unsustainable when the Great Recession hit.The euro is defective because it seeks to bind together disparate countries which run their economies in very different ways.The attempt at monetary union came at the wrong time, it came at recession,that, and coupled with a lack of central monetary and fiscal policy,there was no ability inEurope to regulate in controlled centralized fashion(as with a single nation),the member states economic activities,and so  it
was doomed to failure,failure since all and each of the individual currencies of the member states and resultant debt overprinting of said currencies,influences and brings down the Euro itself, rather than having the currency itself devalued against the Euro internally.

Secret Squirrel turns his attention to the present problem of Europe,the Euro, and seemingly collapsing economies of individual Europe nation states,which,in fact, threaten to destroy the Euro itself.Well, why is the Euro in trouble and what was the Euro supposed to be?

The Euro was seen to be a common currency for all Europe, similar in nature to the American dollar with respect to the American States,and so the Euro was to be to Europe and the Unified European states,an equality,and equity,a common, and the common,currency.It works in theory,it works, in concept. It is an idea that should work. What you do, is maintain a two tier system, a system whereby the individual states keep their own currency and economy,and system of economics, and simply tie their currency, each individually and collectively, but separately to a common currency, the Euro. What needed to be done, was simply to keep their own state currency, and have items purchasable in state currency, but also have a suitable value for the Euro against the state currency,maintaining as it were, and individual currency pegged to and against the common currency, the Euro.So in Greece, you could purchase in either the Euro value, or the Greek currency,all things then being equal, in terms of purchasable power value.It could also be applied in inter-state trade etc, as is done in America. However, they systems not being equal, it commenced to, it has commenced to, unravel, and things will get worse, not better.But why?Because the Euro is tied to the individual state currencies, and not the state currencies to and against the Euro as it was supposed to be. Let’s examine what has exposed the problem,the reality of things,and determine the actual reasons why the Euro is failing,for there are more reasons than just one reason.

What with Portugal,Italy,Iceland,Greece,Spain(The PIIGS of Euro-pe),and the threat to their EURO, there is evidence that Europe is itself failing, economically,and financially.They begin to see that with respect to a common currency,they were all better off with their own,individual,state,free market,with their own currencies evidently and in reality, just maintaining an EEC,a European Economic Community,a
Unified Defense Force,and a Unified Political Policy Parliament,but not with a unified currency.The Euro itself sees, fro it’s point of view, that it is in itself better off if there are no other currencies tied to it, that is, were it by itself, the only currency.But it is not the sole currency, and therein lies part of the problem.Europe is a financial failure then?Nay, a complete and utter disaster. The Euro and Europe was an attempt, a unified attempt,to counter, the USA,with its Unified States, and a strong central common currency.However,Europe did work as a Unification of States, but failed as a currency.Why? Well, their own currencies, and ultimate currency(the Euro), are, in fact, based on, and measured against, a common currency, yes, but it is the US dollar and the system of the Treasury Certificate that the Americans use, their economic and financial system, their system of printing Treasury Certificates.What’s happened in Europe that it must bow to this system of the Americans,why and how?Well,the present claim is that the PIIG states of Europe, overprinted,overspent, disregarded debts etc etc etc et all.Well, yes they did, and so to do and will the rest, and they will fail.Why? Again, they are up against their own creation, their own accepted creation, the USA and its currency. You see, all things European are measured against the US dollar. Should the US dollar have been similarly tied to the Euro, the United States and it’s currency would have been in trouble.Why? Well, the American system is simply to, whenever it requires money, to print up Treasury Certificates, of any value it needs, and then it goes to the Treasury Department, which accepts the Treasury Certificate, at the value of the Certificate, files it away, and prints up the stated currency of the certificate.So, the United States has the money it needs, and a massive debt, to it’s own Treasury Department, and an ever increasing, limitless value debt, on ever printed up currency. BUT for Europe it’s different, the Euro-peans are controlled by the US dollar, not their own, and don’t have a similar system of simply printing up certificates to add more currency as they need, to their system.The European Prometheus,has been self tied, and bound,for and
by, playing with fire, for playing economics and finance against and with the Americans and their system, of economics and debt,bound to and by, the currency and system of the Americans, which they,the Europeans, cannot themselves emulate.Europe has and is failing due to it’s belief in a dream system, a system which economically works. The Americans are themselves not tied and bound in that belief, they are tied and bound only by the life of their Treasury Certificate printing press,or whatever company prints them up for the American government, and by the seemingly limitless supply of printer’s ink.The Euro cannot compete with such a  system,it cannot exist against such a system, unless,it emulates such a system………complete and utter conversion.Quite simply all states of Europe must give up all hope against such a system, give up their currency, all Europe goes to the Euro, and all states go to the economics of the US system,at the state level as well.It must be complete and utter emulation,a complete mirror image in all things. What we have presently with the Euro is an attempt to emulate the US system without actually using the US system, and it just won’t work any other way.Unless that is done, the Euro is doomed to failure.

Secret Squirrel has studied Europe,The European Union,as it’d called it’s formation and transition and how it regards itself and most definitely appears to be at the present time,a Nation rather than a simple European Economic Union (EEC).
Picture this, Europe,united,the European Union, has a central parliament,makes some laws for ALL to follow,laws ALL must follow,and allows individual states of Europe to have their own local laws,as the United States does,as if now made up of separate governed states,collected under a unified central Federal government.They appointed a President over it all,as it were, but the President is not elected out of the people of Europe, but rather in a form dictatorially appointed by representatives of the member national states of the European Union.The Confederate States of America, did much the same thing, first appointing a President out of their selection, then moving towards a form of election of the President,and indeed very much having actually seemingly patterned their governmental unified for, much as The Confederacy of the United States as it was,even yet in it’s evolution. They are trying to develop a central common currency, in transition,and do have one ,but not succeeding well there in terms of it’s declining faith/value internally and world wide,much as the Confederate currency did,interestingly enough, but continue in the due process entirely moving towards it. Now isn’t Europe as it is then structured as the United States(Confederacy also),is really,in having a Central Federal type of central government, thence also separate nation/state governments much as the American states are, and so shouldn’t it therefor be considered to be as ONE country, as it were, in all things, in sports for example, the Olympics, why should each state of Europe be allowed to send so very many athletes therefor, whilst the United States gets to send, by comparison, a very few? Shouldn’t also Europe then be forced to close hundreds of diplomatic missions etc abroad, and then be forced to have one in each, etc as does the United States? Shouldn’t, indeed,Europe be forced to ONE seat at the United Nations,ONE seat on all United Nations Committees of whatever kind,and,of course, ONE seat on the Security Council as well, in keeping with global propriety and fairness to ALL the other nations of the world?Shouldn’t the European Union, as it is, be forced to be regarded as a single nation and treated as such ,in fairness to all nations of the world?
