We live in a post-democratic EU super-state. The voluntary abandonment of democratic principles as seen in the so-called 'Ukraine crisis' by our decision makers is only the most recent example. (The unpopular Yanukovich government was facing re-election in a year and we should have insisted on the democratic process).
What lies behind the erosion of the rule of law is the disdain with which our Western leaders have treated democracy since their total adherence to liberal economic beliefs. this all started more than 30 years ago and we should remember that Western states only began to accumulate debt in the late 70's and early 80's. The total and unquestionable belief that our way of life is of a divine status is nothing short of a new form of 'economic totalitarianism'.
With Shengen, the Euro and austerity plans our governance has sought to cement a kind of eternal and unbreakable domination over the people all justified by the use of the word 'freedom'. Today, people have naturally began to see through this temporary madness and can no longer respect the 'laws' that are handed down from the top.
The aim of the European post-democratic super state is too bring us all into a free trade agreement with the US that would effectively seal the running of our lives by International corporations that pay no taxes.
And what about Ukraine...The Yanukovych impeachment occurred with the flagrant violations of the Article 111 of Ukraine's Constitution and transition to the previous version of was in a blatant breaches of procedure too. (Thus, Rada action can be regarded either as abolishing the previous decision of the constitutional court, or as adoption all amendments to boost the Parliament's powers in ignoring the constitutional provision about the necessity of the conclusion by the constitutional court. Everything's illegal). And the dismissal of the constitutional judges appointed under the president's quota again broke the provisions of Article 112. In addition, "the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in the decree instructed the Prosecutor General of Ukraine to open criminal proceedings regarding all judges, who, in the opinion of the people's deputies of Ukraine, were guilty in the Decision of the constitutional Court of Ukraine on September 30, 2010 № 20-RP/2010" (the case on compliance of the procedure of amending the Constitution of Ukraine)! Do you see that. MPs did define the degree of guilt and also pushed to prosecute judges for their decisions. IMHO,it contradicts the basic principles of the separation of powers, logic and even common sense. But where is the conclusion of Venice Commission about those facts? Of course it will never appear.
"Thorbjørn Jagland, secretary general of the 47-nation Council of Europe, made his assessment before tensions in eastern Ukraine rose over the weekend and before the council's parliamentary assembly voted last Thursday to suspend Russia's voting rights over its annexation of Crimea."....Thorbjørn Jagland, secretary general of the 47-nation Council of Europe, made an assessment before tensions in eastern Ukraine rose over the weekend and before the council's parliamentary assembly voted last Thursday to suspend Russia's voting rights over its annexation of Crimea. Jagland argues that a lack of human rights in Ukraine has paved the way for Russia's actions. Is it not a bit odd for the western press to be reporting on it now? Perhaps it did not at the time 'fit' the Western media narrative to blindly support the Kiev putsch and its America backers. Much if not all of what Mr Jagland is very pertinent to what is now occurring in Ukraine and it was a very stupid move for the council to throw out Russia - a move they will and should regret... The EU is not an entity, and member states are not entities when it comes to foreign policy. The same with PACE. If you read how they condemn Russia for refusal to recognize Junta (even if Junta were legal, still it would be Russia's sovereign right to recognize it or not), and how they blame Yanu for shooting despite abound evidence that putschists did the shooting, and obviously before any court decision - you can guess there is no one lawyer in Europe.
