Can The Creation of a European Superstate Be Stopped?

 Can The Creation of a European Superstate Be Stopped? – Soren Kern - https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=5198 The leaders of European conservative and populist parties met in the Spanish capital of Madrid on January 28-29 to build a unified political front aimed at defending traditionalJudeo-Christian values and the sovereignty of European nation states. The so-called Madrid Summit -- held under the motto "Defending Europe" -- marked an important milestone in efforts to create a continent-wide alliance to fight the federalist,globalist and anti-democratic drift of the European Union. The two-day closed-door summit, hosted by Spain's conservative party Vox, was attended by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawieckiand French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, as well as by the leaders and representatives of conservative parties from Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Estonia, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, and Romania. The conservative eurosceptic leaders, who vowed to work together more closely in the European Parliament, issued a joint statement that outlined the challenge as well asa path forward: "The European Community was forged as an area of free cooperation between sovereign states. However, there is a growing threat that seeks to transform the Union into anideologically charged federalist super-state; a corporation which disregards national identity and sovereignty, and therefore democracy, plurality and the interests of the citizens of the nations that form the Union. "This drift endangers the Union itself by moving away from the Christian European ideals on which it was founded. Today, some bureaucrats and some parties mistakenly believethat they can promote agendas without democratic legitimacy which go against the needs of Europeans and the survival of Western civilization itself. "Faced with this situation, we, the participants of the Summit, commit ourselves to defend Europe from external and internal threats. We will confront the currents thatadvocate a European Union which is alien to its history and which, detached from reality, lead to demographic suicide and societal transformation. Europe is in demographic decline. We have to support pro-family policies. "We love Europe because we love our nations. And we will defend Europe because we defend our nations. That is why we will not cease to demand a Union focused on common Europeanvalues, on people, on their families, on the protection of their borders and on the freedom to have energy, industry, and a strong primary sector. We have to regain the culture of mutual respect among Member States and with the EU institutions, where constitutional identities are safeguarded and not criticized. Wedenounce the politically motivated attacks from Brussels against Poland and Hungary which demonstrate a complete disregard of basic EU principles and violate the spirit of the Treaties. "In short, we should cooperate and join forces to protect Europe from enforced ideologies and anti-democratic drift that are leading to its downfall." The joint declaration included nine action points at the EU level, including commitments to: improve border protection; crack down on illegal immigration; ensure that asylumseekers can enter the EU only after asylum has been granted; work toward greater European energy independence; and defend the primacy of national constitutions over EU law. In a surprising display of unity, Orbán and Le Pen -- who are friendly with Russian President Vladimir Putin -- agreed to insert a paragraph in the joint declaration thatcondemns Russia's threats against Ukraine. The leaders vowed to: "Work to ensure that the nations of Europe act in solidarity in the face of the threat of external aggression. Russian aggressive actions on Europe's eastern border haveled us to the brink of war. Solidarity, decisiveness and defense cooperation between the nations of Europe are needed in the face of such threats." The joint declaration also pledged to establish a "coordination office" in Brussels to "join forces and speak with one voice as often as possible at the European level votein the European Parliament on the aforementioned issues." Polish Prime Minister Morawiecki said that Europe's future rests on sovereign states: "We have shown that there is a different future for Europe, which is based on sovereign countries, not on any centralized structure that takes away powers from states. "We showed each other that we think almost alike about such important issues as the Russian threats towards Ukraine, migratory pressures, energy issues, with very high gasprices being the result of manipulations on the part of Russia. "The most important thing is to be united in our values ... and create a document presenting an alternative to the future of Europe. I hope that we are the alternative tothe future of Europe." Eurosceptic Alliance The Madrid Summit is the second official meeting of eurosceptic leaders. It builds on the first such summit held in Warsaw, Poland, in December 2021. The Warsaw Summit declarationstated: "The participants of the conference share a common and deep conviction that the EU is made up of free and equal nation states, bound by numerous areas of close cooperation.We share this conviction with many millions of citizens across EU member states. "Only through such a European cooperation can we save the EU from further crises and tensions, and put a stop to the disturbing idea of creating a Europe governed by a self-appointedelite. We reject the arbitrary application of Union Law, bending or even violating the Treaties. Only the sovereign institutions of the states have full democratic legitimacy. European institutions do not enjoy the same legitimacy, and therefore should playa subservient role in the political architecture to the nation state. "Equally, for this reason they cannot become a tool of social engineering aiming at creating a new 'European nation.' Examples of such social engineering could be, amongother things, the attempts to ideologically alter our languages in a way which will detach a human being from their culture and heritage, like the recent decision of the European Commission to remove the word 'Christmas' from the public sphere. Such a concept of the nation has never existed, does not exist today nor can it exist in the future. The participants declare their will to cooperate in the spirit of solidarity,at various levels and forums with all the parties and organizations that hold Europe's unique heritage and the idea of a Europe of Nations dear." The two summits are the result of the July 2021 "Joint Declaration on the Future of the European Union," an agreement by 16 eurosceptic parties to jointly oppose effortsby European federalists to transform the European Union into a godless multicultural superstate. The signatories said that the EU has become a tool of "radical forces" that are determined to carry out a civilizational transformation of Europe. They accused conservativeestablishment parties in Europe of having abandoned traditional Judeo-Christian values ​​and of aligning themselves with leftist positions for political gain. The author of the July 2021 document, former Polish President Jaroslaw Kaczynski, said that the EU is "preparing to carry out a cultural revolution that will destroy socialstructures, starting with the family and traditions, and create a new man." He added: "We don't want this revolution, which we believe will bring unhappiness and a drastic decline in the freedoms of individuals and countries." An obstacle to building an effective alliance to fight European federalism in Brussels lies in the fact that the conservative eurosceptic parties belong to different politicalgroups in the supranational European Parliament. Members of the European Parliament are organized into ideological groups -- currently there are eight different political groups -- and may only belong to one group. Some conservative parties -- the Bulgarian National Movement (IMRO), the Electoral Action of Poles in Lithuania-Christian Families Alliance (LLRA-KSS), Poland's Law andJustice (PiS), Romania's Christian Democratic National Peasants' Party (PNT-CD) and Spain's Vox -- belong to the center-right European Conservatives and Reformists Group, which advocates for long-term reform of the European Union, but does not want to exitthe bloc. Still others -- the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), Belgium's Flemish Interest (VB), the Alternative for Germany (AfD), the Conservative People's Party of Estonia (EKRE),France's National Rally (RN) and Italy's Lega -- belong to the more hardline eurosceptic Identity and Democracy group, some of whose members have advocated for the abolition of the euro, Europe's single currency. Meanwhile, Hungary's ruling party, the Hungarian Civic Alliance (Fidesz), recently left the European People's Party (EPP) and currently does not belong to any politicalgroup in the European Parliament. The long-term goal of uniting all the eurosceptic parties into a single "supergroup" is easier said than done. They hold different positions on a wide range of domesticand foreign policy issues. Those differences -- including economic policy and relations with Russia -- will be difficult to paper over. For instance, although Orbán and Le Pen agreed to include criticism of Russia in the Madrid Summit's joint statement, Orbán subsequently met with Putin at the Kremlin andpledged to cooperate with Moscow. At the same time, Le Pen omitted the paragraph about Russia from the French translation of the joint declaration. Moreover, neither the leader of Italy's Lega party, Matteo Salvini, nor the three co-leaders of Germany's Alternative for Germany party, attended the Madrid Summit. Salvini, once at the vanguard of Europe's anti-EU movement, has seen his eurosceptic reputation tarnished by his decision to join the pro-EU government of Italian PrimeMinister Mario Draghi. "I can be in a pro-Europe government while dreaming of a different Europe," Salvini said recently. In any event, Lega was represented in Madrid by Italian MEP Paolo Borchia. Editors Note -- The idea of an EU Superstate with it's own army idea has been around since the days of Churchill and seems to be revived every decade. While most attempts have failed thereare some followers of Bible Prophecy who see the potential for a future 10 nation alliance out of Europe to fulfill the prophecies of the Book of Daniel & Revelation in which a 10 nation alliance from Europe (the Beast of Revelation) becomes the seat of powerfor the Antichrist on his way to global domination. Some have speculated about whether these prophecies in Revelation refer to 10 nations, 10 world regions, or simply 10 leaders. When the European Union first emerged andeventually grew to 10 member nations, prophecy students were sitting up and taking notice, until the EU grew past 10 nations (current EU members total 27 nations). Then the excitement died down considerably as Europe failed to demonstrate any united militarycapability. Now with talk of a fresh desire for more integration and increased military co-operation, people are starting to pay attention again. Especially as it coincides with somany other important prophetic events happening such as the shadow war between Iran & Israel, the players for Ezekiel 38 all in alignment (including Afghanistan), the advancement of technology that could fulfill the mark of the beast, natural disasters, theglobal impact of disease and the list goes on and on. There are more questions and speculation than anything else at this point regarding the future of the European Union but with so many prophetic events converging at thistime it is time to be paying attention more now than ever before.
