Is it fair to say Germany is still a Protestant country?
"Protestant 34%, Roman Catholic 34%, Muslim 3.7%, unaffiliated or other 28.3%" https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-worl…

And the religious breakdown for the Netherlands is as follows: "Roman Catholic 30%, Dutch Reformed 11%, Calvinist 6%, other Protestant 3%, Muslim 5.8%, other 2.2%, none 42%" https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-worl…

We consider "now" as if it holds great importance when in reality now is nothing but a fleeting moment. Some consider the future is important even though it hasn't yet occurred. For myself I believe our history is important solely because it brings education of former events from which we learn and should connect us with one another as human beings which share the lessons of our ancestors.

When you consider there is nothing which we can do in human activity which has not yet already been done in some similar form, politics and government specifically, you can also predict the outcome of events because all events have a cause, a meaning and an end. This is the way it has been for millions of years and is as natural as the earth we live on that change will occur, and it will last a certain period and then it will die. In relation to America it is a fact that the American system of government was built on Roman ideals including imperialism.

This is expressed by "neo-cons" and is real. But it is also expressed by European governments in the form of republicanism and federalism and of course the all powerful E.U. institutions with a similar fashion of Roman bureaucracy which imposes laws upon the people.

NATO is a mighty military tool of course and maybe it once had a purpose ( which I'm not entirely satisfied it ever did ), of ensuring peace in Europe through overwhelming force ( might makes right ). – But the natural order of mankind dispels "might being right" and our histories are littered with dead dictators who followed this belief only for another to rise in his place.

When mankind comes to realise the natural order is to have cause, meaning and death, and that all things coming to pass have already happened many many times over, and he learns and begins to use his natural ability to predict an eventual outcome, then he can only arrive at one conclusion as the correct conclusion and that is to live in peace.

A writing by Tacitus soon after the invasion of Britain by Rome, might sum up the "current situation" i.e. as it is now before the now dies…………….

"And so the population was gradually led into the demoralising temptations of our caves, baths and sumptuous banquests. The unsuspecting Britons spoke of such novelties as civilization when in fact they were a feature of their enslavement"
( Tacitus 56 – 117 AD )

Naturally or unnaturally all empires will fall without support of the people, this is a fact so fundamental it can be predicted. It is impossible to hold an empire together unless it is peaceful, honors people above economics, engages support of all the people and doesn't oppress them or instil fear and present unwise laws which restrict their freedoms and liberties which connect us to our ancestral past.

These "mistakes" by America and Europe will bear fruit of death and misery unless they each seek to remedy themselves to find peaceful co-existence with their people and neighbours and it's only a matter of time as to whether they die or we do in the process of change which will naturally occur as it is written.

Globalization of the planet is Imperialism and it must be stopped or we will be slaves until it can finally globalize no more and thus reaches its own natural death.

Am I liberal ? I think not. I'm a realist which has a grasp on where his own destiny lies and someone who can predict the natural outcome of our current situation if it is not changed because I have a deep rooted belief in honouring my ancestral past.

These two video's will show you what I mean and I hope you enjoy them both.

Ancient Britons worshipped death and had no fear of it.
The genetic code of ancient Britons is still within us today.
Ancient Britons are proven to have existed on these isles for 10,000 years and there is no reason to doubt they didn't exist 2 million years earlier.
Rome did not civilize us they learnt from us.
Before the pyramids were built ancient Britons were farming, building houses, had fitted kitchens, inside toilets and roads.
Our view of history has been shaped only by what we've been "led to believe" in order to disconnect us with our true ancestral knowledge and culture along with the ability to think for ourselves how we govern.

Unlike Mr Redwood's assertion England and Wales have been split apart by the Devolution Acts which give the Welsh Assembly more self government than England has with its own dedicated representatives to ensure the interests of Wales.

England needs its own dedicated parliament in the same relationship to the UK Parliament as the Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish devolved administrations or a return to a United Kingdom with one Parliament. Any other solution is a fudge.

As a family they were pretty charmless, even Elizabeth, & one of the signs of their charmlessness was the ruthlessness with which they killed off anybody else with a claim to the throne. Unjust & non-legal as that certainly was it is difficult to argue that it did not save far more lives than it ended.
