European Union: Toward a European Superstate: gatestoneinstitute.org/14503/european…
German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen, nominated to be the next President of the European Commission, has called for the creation of a European superstate. "My aim is the United States of Europe..." She has also called for the creation of a European Army.
Spanish Foreign Minister Josep Borrell is a well-known supporter of the mullahs in Iran. Borrell has also said that he hopes Britain will leave the EU because it is an impediment to the creation of a European superstate.

How Biden Went From -$947K to Millions
shar.es/a0QbZn
In the final years of the Obama administration, Joe Biden’s net worth was estimated at -$947,987. The negative numbers weren’t implausible. After Obama won, Biden disclosed that he was carrying as much as a staggering $465,000 in debt.
But despite being a million in the hole, after his administration was done, he moved into a 12,000 foot estate that looks like the White House with 5 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, a wet bar, 2 kitchens, a sauna, 8 fireplaces, parking for 20 cars and a master bedroom on an entire floor.

America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within. —Joseph Stalin
The fate of mankind, as well as of religion, depends upon the emergence of a new faith in the future. —Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, New Age theologian and Jesuit priest

Silicon Valley Spy Case Links ZTE, PLA to Stolen US Technology freebeacon.com/national-secur…
The stolen trade secrets resulted in the Chinese government university building a state-of-the-art FBAR fabrication facility that provided components to Chinese state companies and two military institutes.
Former DIA official Eftimiades said "China's practice of employing universities, state owned enterprises, and commercial entities to steal U.S. Intellectual property and technology, supports its ‘Made in China 2025' industrial development plan and military modernization efforts."

Ursula von der Leyen, the pick for EU Commission head, could take a tough line on China, going by this interview with Die Zeit from January (my translation, thread) zeit.de/2019/04/ursula… @dktatlow
2. She says "We don't talk about China enough ... because until now the Chinese have been pursuing their open power politics chiefly in Asia."
zeit.de/2019/04/ursula…
3. China “does not behave in as martial a way towards us as Vladimir Putin's Russia. China ensnares us with kindness. And that's why we often overlook how consistently and cleverly it pursues its goals.” zeit.de/2019/04/ursula…

To the English reading security bubble. There is a lot of noise on German twitter and in the media regarding the nomination of German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen as the candidate for the position of the next president of the European Commission. /2 #EUCO #vonderleyen
Quite of a lot of these comments, especially by the coalition partner @spdde are defamatory. the reasoning is mostly along the lines, that no one in Brussels knows her, that she mismanaged the #Bundeswehr and so on and so forth. Let me give you some /3
facts about her almost 6 years in office. Under her leadership,
*Germany saw an unprecedented increase in its defense budget
*Germany took the lead in NATO's efforts to deter Russia

Taoiseach Leo @LeoVaradkar on the top jobs:
1/ The nomination of the German Defence Mininster Ursula Von Der Leyen as Commission President, and the other nominations, was "a very good outcome overall for Ireland and Europe."
2/ He was "confident" Ireland would enjoy the same solidarity from Ms Von Der Leyen as they had from the outgoing Jean-Claude Juncker on the Brexit issue.
3/ "She’s somebody who is from the CDU in Germany, somebody who is part of the political family [the European People's Party] which I belong to with Fine Gael, somebody who is part of a group of people who have always stood by Ireland through these issues.

Here's the latest on the top jobs scramble at the EU summit:

1/ I'm told there's still a big split in the EPP with German defence minister Ursula Von Der Leyen being introduced as a late-in-the-game Commission President candidate instead of Manfred Weber
2/ This has irritated other EPP prime ministers who were increasingly rowing in behind Michel Barnier, who would have the support of French President @EmmanuelMacron and is supported by the four Visegrad countries.
3/ If the EPP flipped to Barnier he would probably have the numbers to get the Commission job. Von Der Leyen would tick quite a few boxes, however.
