EU art show proclaims Europe as 'the new Roman Empire'
There's something else on the EU's wall, big letters obscured by the posters and aggressive propaganda. It's called "the writing".The European Union is poised to overtake America to become the premier superpower, according to an EU exhibition launched yesterday in the heart of Brussels. The pop-art collage mounted in a tent outside the European Commission narrates 50 years of EU history and projects events into the future in an unusually frank display of European Damn them! They ain't left no room for parody...! Under the heading the " SAYS WHO?! as the EU defends the international order against the "American onslaught". The euro will break the "overbearing monopoly of the dollar" by 2010 as China and India switch their reserves to punish America for its "stratospheric deficit". Casting the United States as the villain of modern times, it says: "The lonely superpower can bribe, bully or impose its will almost anywhere in the world, but when its back is turned, its policy is weakened." Entitled "The Image of Europe", the display is not a formal expression of EU policy but it captures views that can be heard every day in the corridors and canteens of the Union's institutions. The exhibit was co-ordinated by the European Commission and sponsored by the European Council. The EU's Dutch presidency said yesterday it was designed to narrow Europe's "iconographic deficit" by conjuring up forceful images. There you have it: the future as anticipated to the EU's insanely arrogant and deluded 'masterminds'. Who wants in?! Posted by: Bulldog 2004-09-14 |
