As of this writing, debt default threatens Greece once again. Most if not all of these countries are falling short of their financial targets.

As a result, strains on the euro currency remain very apparent in the markets as Europe strives to walk through this monetary morass, hoping that the European Union and the euro will survive fully intact.

And yet the primary goal of the EU has remained unchanged throughout these financial trials. London Times columnist Anatole Kaletsky wrote an article appropriately titled "A Eurostate or Bust—the Big Brussels Gamble" (May 11, 2011). Its compelling drophead declares, "The bailouts don’t work, but they do allow the EU to build up centralized power at the expense of nation states" (emphasis added).

As Kaletsky further observed, "Progression from the euro to full federalism is exactly on schedule"—meaning, for many, a United States of Europe. Based on the Bible, The Good News has long predicted that a powerful centralized European power will eventually emerge, whether the EU would be its predecessor or not. Hitler emerged out of a very serious economic crisis in Germany. Yet it seems that Brussels could well provide a useful infrastructure for a future European dictatorship.

    The Euro zone crisis will only get worse from here on out. Every one of these countries have cheated to get accepted into the European Union. How can you have a stable union when everyone is lying about the true condition of their finances. It is ridiculous. There is so much debt is is absolutely unbelievable.

    WITH REGARDS TO THE EUROPEAN UNION - I DOUBT THAT IT WILL AMOUNT TO MUCH. ANGLO SAXON CAPITAL WON´T SIMPLY ALLOW IT TO TAKE PLACE.KINDLY GO BACK TO THE PAGES OF EUROPEAN HISTORY FROM THE TIME OF THE ROMANS RIGHT UP TO HITLER AND IN BETWEEN THESE TWO POINTS- THEY ALL FAILED IN THEIR ATTEMPT TO UNIFY EUROPE AS ONE CAN SEE RIGHT NOW THAT A MONETARY WAR IS AT FOOT BETWEEN THE ANGLO SAXON BLOCK AND THE EUROPEAN UNION. IF EUROPE INSISTS IN GOING A HEAD WITH A FEDERAL UNION THEN I AM AFRAID THAT A WAR MIGHT BE THE LAST SOLUTION TO STOP THE EUROPEAN´S IN THEIR TRACKS.

    WITH REGARDS TO THE EUROPEAN UNION- I DON´T THINK THAT IT WILL BECOME A WORLD DOMINATING POWER AS SO MANY INTERPRETATIONS OF THE BIBLE PROPHECIES HAVE SUGGESTED.ONE CAN´T HAVE A MONETARY UNION WITHOUT A TOTAL POLITICAL UNION.

    FURTHERMORE ONE HAS TO LOOK INTO THE HISTORY OF EUROPE:
    THE ROMAN EMPIRE FAILED TO INSTALL IT.
    CHARLMAIN FAILED TO INSTALL IT.
    BISMARK FAILED TO INSTALL IT.
    NAPOLEON FAILED TO INSTALL IT.
    HITLER FAILED TO INSTALL IT.ETC.ETC.

    THE ANGLO SAXON I.E. THE ENGLISH NEVER ALLOWED THIS EUROPEAN UNION TAKE ANY MEANINGFUL SHAPE OR FORM. ONE SHOULD NOT FORGET DE GAUL´S WORDS " THE ENGLISH SHOULD NOT BE A PART OF THE EUROPEAN UNION BECAUSE THEY WILL COME IN TO DESTROY IT" AND WE SHOULD REMEMBER CHURCHILL´S WORDS " IF I HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN EUROPE AND THE ATLANTIC- I WOULD CHOOSE THE ATLANTIC".
    FURTHERMORE TIMES HAVE MOVED ON- NOW WE HAVE THE ANGLO SAXON CAPITAL I.E. THE USA AND ENGLAND TOGETHER WITH ZIONIST CAPITAL WORKING TOGETHER TO STOP THE FORMATION OF A FEDERAL EUROPE. A UNITED EUROPE WOULD BE FAR TOO POWERFUL AND POISONOUS TO CAPITAL ITSELF.
