EU Commission Head Jean-Claude Juncker Keeps a ‘Little Black Book’ of People Who Betray Him

Screen Shot 2016-08-02 at 8.21.12 AM

Jean-Claude Juncker, head of the European Commission, is most famous for a 2011 quote about the Greek financial crisis, during which he stated:

When it becomes serious, you have to lie.

But that’s just one of many disturbing statements from the man. In 2014, The Telegraph published a list of his most outrageous quotes.

As such, here’s some additional evidence of what a sleazy weasel this man is.

Juncker on EU monetary policy

“I’m ready to be insulted as being insufficiently democratic, but I want to be serious … I am for secret, dark debates” 

Juncker on British calls for a referendum over Lisbon Treaty

“Of course there will be transfers of sovereignty. But would I be intelligent to draw the attention of public opinion to this fact?” 

Juncker on French referendum over EU constitution

“If it’s a Yes, we will say ‘on we go’, and if it’s a No we will say ‘we continue’,” 

Juncker on the introduction of the euro:

“We decide on something, leave it lying around, and wait and see what happens. If no one kicks up a fuss, because most people don’t understand what has been decided, we continue step by step until there is no turning back.” 

Juncker on eurozone economic policy and democracy:

“We all know what to do, we just don’t know how to get re-elected after we’ve done it”

Clearly, this is a very sick and twisted human being, but it gets worse…

Yesterday, The Telegraph published the following:

Jean-Claude Juncker has revealed he has a little black book called ‘Little Maurice’ in which he lists the names of people who have “betrayed” him.

The European Commission President refused to reveal the names as he insisted he does not bear grudges.  

It comes after Mr Juncker’s revealed the EU Commission is prepared to play “hardball” by appointing a former French minister who reportedly holds a grudge against Britain as head of its Brexit negotiations.

Mr Juncker told the Belgian daily, Le Soir, that he called his book ‘Little Maurice’,” where for 30 years I’ve made a note when someone betrays me.”

The book “doesn’t have many entries, because people rarely betray me”, he said. 

“In Luxembourg, when someone was irritating me, I would say, ‘Careful, Little Maurice is waiting for you'”.

Last month Mr Junker announced the appointment of Michel Barnier, an arch-federalist, as Brussels’ chief negotiator for the UK’s exit talks with the EU. 

This further proves the point that only the biggest lunatics amongst us tend to crave (and achieve) positions of political power; however, it signals something else. Namely, that EU leaders have learned no lessons from the Brexit vote, making chaotic collapse of the European Union ultimately inevitable.

As I noted in the June post, It’s Not Just the UK – Widespread Support for EU Referendums Seen Across the Continent:

So what can we conclude from all of this?

  1. Euro skepticism is on the rise.
  2. EU technocrats will fight back with sticks instead of carrots, furthering euro-skepticism.
  3. Great Britain will be the first, but probably not the last country to hold an EU referendum over the next 5-10 years.
  4. The EU as it stands is a failed experiment. This is proven by the inept and corrupt handling of both the Greek “bailout” program and the refugee crisis.
  5. The only solution is to increase decentralization and restore national democracy within the framework of some of the popular attributes the EU offers.
  6. EU technocrats are obsessed with a further centralization of power and will continue to push it against the will of the people.
  7. The EU will ultimately disintegrate as a result of overwhelming popular dissent to technocratic scheming and incompetence.

The only question is whether what comes next is better or worse.

Interesting times.

  1. How much clearer must it be to understand that there is no “democracy” in the western institutions that most loudly proclaim they champion it? Complete, total and unalloyed hypocrisy, deceit and corruption.

    The US is no better, with the playbook of Gruberization SOP for TPTB to get things done that no one but they actually want.

    Who did Capt. Khan die for? Obvious. He died for people here and in Europe who have no intention of letting people like Capt. Khan have any say whatsoever in his life.

    They are total psychopathic control freaks who are hellbent on power, will use any ends to achieve it and have no compunction about stepping on anything or anyone who gets in their way.

    With each passing day, it becomes more and more self-evident we are locked in a death struggle with a pervasive and malignant presence that will stop at nothing to rule peaceful and innocent people the world over.

    If they are leaving us an alternative to kill or be killed, I fail to see it at this point.

  2. His behaviors are basically those of upper level males in our ancestral hunter-gatherer tribes where what lower members thought or wanted didn’t matter and keeping track of friend or foe helped maintain one’s social status.

    A likely reason for widespread psychopathy and paranoia in the modern era since those behaviors improved their chance of survival and reproduction.

    So here’s hoping machine intelligence comes along real soon because Mother Nature’s first shot at high intelligence is about to fail.

    • I wish I could be as sanguine as you are about the benefits of machine intelligence. As it stands, the hunter-gatherer psychopaths who run things happen to be the same ones who control what tasks machine intelligence will be asked to do in the near future.

      Terminator’s Skynet is not some far-fetched plot line in a movie. In fact, it is the logical extension of currently experienced psychopathic behaviors that have no ethical self-limiters. The BIGGEST problem facing humanity is how to rid ourselves of the creme de la creme of evil that has managed to lodge itself within the the most powerful institutions on earth.

      Either it will survive and choke out freedom forever or its reign of terror, deceit and corruption will be eliminated by people of goodwill everywhere.

      It’s time for humanity to grow up. We’re about to be kicked out of the nest. At this point, there is simply no alternative to flying.

  3. The suggestion of “psychopathology” as an bio-evolutionary advantage is interesting, if dubious. Much less as evidence of “higher intelligence” in a natural species.

    Few humans attain the perspective from which to grasp the true meaning of human existence, and those few who do mostly say what most are concerned with is illusion, and that acting with compassion is important bottom line.

    When a society at large is on a treadmill into a materialist abyss, and decency and humanity have become quaint and long-ago-declared mostly irrelevant notions, those who seek power for the pure exercise of the individual will to power today have neither the wisdom, nor the inclination to do what is best for their fellow. Call them crazy, call them what you will.

  4. “dubious”?

    So dominant hunter-gatherer males killing the offspring of lower males so their offspring could survive during times of hardship couldn’t possibly promote their survival? Not exactly a compassionate trait, but rather a psychopathic trait.

    Sort of like today’s not very human rulers, who, in time of nuclear war, will rush off to multi-billion dollar bomb shelters while we face instant vaporization or horrible lingering deaths.

    Their psychopathic genes and their offspring’s psychopathic genes will survive. Nothing new about that.
