Listen: that is the sound of European dominos falling



That fellow in the picture is General Franco, dictator of Spain until 1975. A new dictator may be in Spain's future according to this article.

Americans should pay close attention to what is happening in the European union to Greece, Portugal, and Spain. Not just that those countries are being wracked by debt and their public sector unions who will not consent to austarity measurers.

Note in the article that all the discussion about what is happening to these countries comes from the head of the European Union, Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso set out an ‘apocalyptic’ vision in which crisis-hit countries in southern Europe could fall victim to military coups or popular uprisings as interest rates soar and public services collapse because their governments run out of money.

Mr. Barroso was not elected by any citizen of any country in the European Union. Yet, he is discussing very vividly their future.

Could some "one world" president in the future be talking about us this way? November is a good time to start making sure that does not happen.
