Can't Miss Video: Nigel Farage

Nigel Farage who is the leader of the UK Independence Party and member of the European Parliament has provided countless hours of fact-based entertainment, but it's always the guys with FACTS and who aren't afraid to speak them that are called the "Whackos" because they don't conform to the standard politician who is in the middle, the "Luke Warm". As Revelations in the bible  is quoted (perhaps no matter where it is found, truth is true):

Revelations 3:16: "So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth."

I think there's little doubt that a number of "Luke Warm" politicians should be spat out of their perches of power. I unabashedly support fact based speakers of truth such as Ron Paul, regardless of political affiliation , religion, sex, color, race or creed. As I said, no matter where it's found, "Truth is true" and on that note, Nigel Farage, viewed as the fringe because he doesn't conform to the lukewarm standards set for politicians, destroys the EU in this 4 minute video clip. If you follow Farage, you'll know that almost everything he has predicted in the past with regard to the European Union has come true. 

However we don't have to wait for his predictions, the Europeans have already done the same in the Middle East and the MENA region and today we can see the results of their foley.  Farage goes in to some detail about the problems of the European Union experiment, which are the same problems we can see if we fast forward about a century in Iraq. Once again it was the Europeans, in this case specifically the British after World War I who drew straight, neat lines on an empty map that had been ruled by the Ottoman empire since the 16th century. These straight lines had no consideration for the fact that Iraq which is perhaps one of the most heinous examples of arbitrary nation building, had 4 distinct religious/cultural groups and none of them got along. This is what led to the iron-handed dictators like Saddam that were necessary to hold such a volatile country , born of arbitrary straight lines, together. I'm not a believer at all in the Terror groups criticism of the same arbitrary borders and their vision to bring all under one rule, that's worse than the arbitrary maps. It's more about respecting a nation or a people's individuality rather than forcing something down people's throats without their consent  Remove the totalitarian hand of cruel dictatorship and see what you have left in Iraq, a failed nation which is what Farage points out is the European Union nearly a century later, except rather than drawing straight lines on a map, a common currency was to unite all of Europe, the plan is failing and Farage is much more articulate than I could be on the subject which is quite relevant to what is going on in Greece today.
