Well...........if we are going down the road of what the EU is............. “The True Story of the Bilderberg Group” and What They May Be Planning Now | Global Research AL
The EU is socialist in the sense that it believes in big government, central control, tax and spend and redistribution of wealth. There is nothing hilarious about that.
Read "Them" by Jon Ronson. Not only is it hilarious, he actually spends much of the book tracking down the Bilderberg Group and infiltrating a Californian get-together. A complete hoot.
The history of the world is full of individuals and alliances of individuals who have sought to take control of their tribe, village, district, region and country. Why would it be any different now on a global scale ? LIke any good conspiracy theory it probably takes a few half truths and rumours and mixes them into a credible story, but the underlying idea ? Who knows ?
