Last September I went to Croatia. I wanted to find out whether a proper national debate is going on; whether there was afair campaign.

What did I find? I found that the EU is doing everything it can to bribe the poitical class in Croatia - doing it quite well, really, too. Already the EU has given 320 million euros to Croatia in what is called pre-accession aid. The EU has just spent a million euros on a blatant propaganda advertising campaign, telling Croatia that the EU is their only hope.

Cleverly, you've even given jobs to Croatians - highly paid jobs to Croatians in the European Parliament and in the European Commission just to show them how well off they'll be - the ruling class will be - if they join, and you've got EU flags flying on official buildings all over the country to give the impression that it's a done deal.

You've got some willing helpers, because the old Communists are still there in Croatia, they still hold all the positions of power and they will all become personally enormously wealthy if Croatia joins the European Union.

And there is an even more sinister side to this, because there is not a free press in Croatia. There is no national debate going on at all. Indeed a prize has been offered - 10,000 kunas have been offered if anybody can find an article in any Croatian newspaper suggesting that joining isn't the right thing to do.

The whole campaign is bent, corrupt and distorted. We've seen this before from the European Union, but I think it's happening on a scale in Croatia that is worse than I've seen before.

This country has for nearly a thousand years sought independence. And for 20 years they've had independence - they got out of the failed political experiment that was Yugoslavia - and if they vote to join the European Union, they're voting to rejoin a new Yugoslavia - a failing political experiment that will implode.

I hope there is, in the last month or two a debate in Croatia. Sadly, I doubt it.

If the Croatians vote no, we all know the EU will simply say "That vote was skewed, let's have another, this time forrealsies". This second vote, the EU will spend millions on the Yes campaign, convincing enough of the uninformed to say the correct answer - yes.

The sooner the EU is shut down the better. People need to realise that ultimately there is no such thing as a European and return to basic nationalism. The EU and the euro only acts to give small nations the feeling that they are more important and significant than they are and encourages them to live beyond their means. Their is a natural order to the continent and Greece, Croatia etc sitting at the same table as Germany is not it.

@Tomislav005 Oh dear, you are one of 'them"

[drazenkoj1990]

@FreeRhuna

You're funny.

[Tomislav005]

@FreeRhuna Oh now you're just trolling. No one can be this brainwashed by some religion.

[FreeRhuna]

@drazenkoj1990 No, you don't want that. You will lose all of your freedom that your parents longed for so long. You will want to give up all your freedoms to become proud member of the EUSSR. It will only take a couple of years before you become a debt slave.

[FreeRhuna]

@Tomislav005

Yes, if you want to call me a nutcase, go ahead.

People in Europe have thrown the word of God in the trashcan, they would be stand in line to crucify Jesus Christ again.

You know... I could care less if Europe will be invaded by muslims or will fall apart because the Brussels burocracy will eventually create revolutions from Lapland to Crete... european atheists DEVERVE it.

Don't you dare to bullshit me, REPENT.

[Tomislav005]

@FreeRhuna Are you actually serious when you speak about this bullshit?

[Tomislav005]

@prosvjednikkrcmarek Jedva engleski pričaš i onda još takve stvari pišeš, baš lijep dojam ostavljaš >_>

About half of of Croats belong to a lower primitive middle class which denies the EU. They promote fake ideas of Croatian supremacy that doesn't exist. They still can't understand simple things like homosexuality. They are slow in every part of life. They can't give anything useful to this country with their fairy tale view on life. If it was up to them Croatia would still be a poor farming country. Croatia is beautiful, desired, and will be owned by civilized, peaceful EU. Accept it.
