After watching the horrible footage of the Spanish goons and thugs beating up voters, I waited for a few words of condemnation from the European Union.

I waited and I waited. None came.

Indeed, the EU pledged its support for Spain’s Prime Minister and insisted the referendum was illegal.

Not a word of criticism.

Not much the EU does these days shocks me. But this really shocked me.
That it could tacitly approve of such violence against its own citizens who wanted only self-determination.

And yet I was wrong to be shocked, I suppose.

Because over the years the EU has shown a truly fascistic ruthlessness in persecuting those who disagree with its objectives.
