Josep Borrell — spoke of Europe's garden — and the rest of the planet's jungle

Below is one of Dark Clowns in charge of the European Union

 

Josep Borrell is the EU's minister for foreign affairs and security.

 

Here is what he said in the European Union's typically air-headed, blathering and effetely incoherent fashion:

 

 

Europe is a garden.

 

We have built a garden. Everything works.

 

It is the best combination of political freedom, economic prosperity and social cohesion that the humankind has been able to build – the three things together. And here, Bruges is maybe a good representation of beautiful things, intellectual life, wellbeing.

 

Most of the rest of the world is a jungle, and the jungle could invade the garden.

 

The gardeners should take care of it, but they will not protect the garden by building walls.

 

A nice small garden surrounded by high walls in order to prevent the jungle from coming in is not going to be a solution. Because the jungle has a strong growth capacity, and the wall will never be high enough in order to protect the garden.

 

The gardeners have to go to the jungle.

 

Europeans have to be much more engaged with the rest of the world. Otherwise, the rest of the world will invade us, by different ways and means.

 

Yes, this is my most important message: we have to be much more engaged with the rest of the world.

 

There is a big difference between Europe and the rest of the world – well, the rest of the world, understand me what I mean, no? - is that we have strong institutions.

 

The most important thing for the quality of life of the people is institutions.

 

The big difference between developed and not developed is not the economy, it is institutions.

 

Here, we have a judiciary – a neutral, independent judiciary.

 

Here, we have systems of distributing the revenue.

 

Here, we have elections that provide a free for the citizens.

 

Here, we have the red lights controlling the traffic, people taking the garbage.

 

We have these kinds of things that make the life easy and secure. 

 

Institutions, that is what matters.

 

It is very difficult to build institutions. We can build a road. We can go with a bulldozer and money and workers, and we can build a road.

 

I cannot go to emerging countries and build institutions for them – they have to be built by them. Otherwise, it would be a kind of neo-colonialism. 

 

The big difference between us and an important part of the rest of the world is that we have institutions.

 

And we have to work [on the] institution, to build institutions.

 

I would like very much to finish my mandate having built institutions, having built a stronger European Union diplomatic capacity and a stronger European Union diplomatic service.

 

I know that what makes the difference is the quality of the human resources.

 

Because an institution without people making it work, it is an empty building. It is the combination of institutional structures and people committed and able to make it work.

 

An independent judiciary needs independent judges - otherwise, it does not work.

 

An efficient diplomatic service needs rules, needs organisations, needs resources, needs procedures – but needs people.

 

People, not only committed, but able to fulfil [their] commitment.

In short

 

Western Europeans are better than everyone else.

 

Therefore, concludes Borrell, western Europeans must go outward to teach the planet's — apparently unfortunately pitiful — Untermenschen how to be like them.

 

 

This (by the way) is the same European Union . . .

 

. . . that (with the United States) is arming, militarily advising and financing a literally Untermenshen-killing Nazi regime in Ukraine.

 

 

The moral? — We can forgive the majority the of Earth's human population . . .

 

. . . for casting self-defensively dismissive eyes Europe's way.

 

For emphasis, recall that behind the scenes lurks the perennially conniving Great Satan. Eagerly pulling European strings to do the United States' — always pillaging — neocon and neoliberal dances.
