Economist, Martin Armstrong, is warning that the EU has just declared the Trump administration as major world threat.

In a move that smacks of George Soros-type extremist liberal politics, the European Union’s chief BREXIT negotiator, Guy Verhofstadt, just announced the top three threats to the EU are ISIS, Putin and Trump. It may seem funny, but they are serious, and it is an indication of the global malaise of neoliberalism run amuck. It is no laughing matter.

The name of one George Soros comes to mind because he has been funding liberal EU projects for years to the tune of billions of dollars. One of his professed goals is the eradication of communism from Europe – which is more than a little ironic. As a veritable poster boy of EU liberalism, his donor status qualifies him to have huge influence over the politics and policy espoused by the EU.

It should come as no surprise that Soros has major political influence. No doubt, the EU is going to act in accordance with its largest mega donors. So, Verhofstadt echoing Soros should not come totally unexpected.

Verhofstadt told Reuters that Donald Trump is part of a three-pronged attempt to undermine the European Union. The other two threats come from radicalized Islam and from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Verhofstadt is confident that Putin is behind EU’s problems, just as U.S. liberals accuse Putin of being behind their problems. But, not only is Putin actively working to undermine the progress of the EU project, there is a third front that threatens “undermining the European Union, and it is Donald Trump.”

Verhofstadt made these remarks in a presentation he made at the Chatham House think-tank. For these people, Trump is now the fly in the ointment and they know they are on to something nefarious because “Trump spoke very favorably of the fact that also other countries will want to break away from the European Union, and that he hoped for a disintegration of the European Union.”

Verhofstadt served for nine years as prime minister of Belgium, and he has served in the European Parliament since 2009. He is one of those faceless bureaucrats the British revolted against when they withdrew from the EU. He said that the European Union was in a “poly-crisis” arguing that the solution was for greater co-operation between states. Typical liberal platitude.

“A disintegration of the Union would be a disaster … not only for Europe but also I think for our allies and for the world.” Maybe yes, maybe no.

His comments reflect just how deranged the EU politicians really are for they will accept no blame whatsoever for any of their own policies having failed. The truth is that the EU’s dictatorial nature had started to federalize Europe, while denying that was their goal all along.

One has to be careful taking the word of an economist, like Martin Armstrong. How many economists warned us of the impending collapse of 2008? In recent years, Martin Armstrong’s website has chronicled his predictions, for example, regarding imminent economic collapse followed by civil unrest in the U.S. – which was supposed to have come true in 2016.

Armstrong has said “It’s the magic formula: if you turn up the economy you’ll get revolution and riots.” Armstrong is an analyst who supposedly predicted the Black Monday of 1987 and the Russian insolvency of the year 1998. It has been a long time since one of his predictions has materialized.

However, Armstrong is correct when he says that the EU’s biggest problem is that they are in a state of denial and not taking full responsibility for the impending break-up of the EU in the wake of the BREXIT.

Yet, if the EU’s problem is being in a state of denial, then the U.S. has its own problem: George Soros. There needs to be a new word invented in the English language that describes a self-professed visionary who believes that fomenting as much civil unrest as possible is good for a country, and who uses his own billion-dollar fortune to finance such activities. Actually, the perfect word is probably not print-worthy.

Soros wants people to know him for his liberal Open Society newsletters and publications. What people need to know is that:

he was a major Hillary donor

he launched Black Lives Matter with his own funding

he funded Ferguson protesters

he funded anti-Trump protesters

In short, Soros has funded numerous subversive, liberal organizations and events. In a recent post, “Defend Open Society,” Soros waxed philosophical about how smart he is:

“After the Crash of 2008, the EU and the eurozone became increasingly dysfunctional. Prevailing conditions became far removed from those prescribed by the Maastricht Treaty, but treaty change became progressively more difficult, and eventually impossible, because it couldn’t be ratified. The eurozone became the victim of antiquated laws; much-needed reforms could be enacted only by finding loopholes in them. That is how institutions became increasingly complicated, and electorates became alienated. The rise of anti-EU movements further impeded the functioning of institutions. And these forces of disintegration received a powerful boost in 2016, first from Brexit, then from the election of Trump in the US, and on December 4 from Italian voters’ rejection, by a wide margin, of constitutional reforms. Democracy is now in crisis. Even the US, the world’s leading democracy, elected a con artist and would-be dictator as its president. Although Trump has toned down his rhetoric since he was elected, he has changed neither his behavior nor his advisers. His cabinet comprises incompetent extremists and retired generals. What lies ahead?”

Notice how Soros glossed the last eight years in a few sentences?

Notice how he failed to mention the European migration crisis?

It was Soros who called on Angela Merkel to let all the migrants into Europe – she listened to Soros and look what happened. Then last year he had the gall to say that the migration debacle had not worked because Merkel had not planned it all out well. He threw her under the bus after she took his advice, and his idea blew up in everybody’s face.

Notice how Soros conveniently ignored all his own failed advice for the EU and the US and then threw Donald Trump under the bus? He will now use Donald Trump, who was just sworn in as president, to validate everything he has been saying for years.

He is a classic, two-faced, lying, manipulative, liberal crackpot. In fact, there is every reason to believe that George Soros has become a national security risk, along with anyone who disagrees with that statement. In fact, given the Soros track record for pulling shenanigans … is it not at least feasible that Soros himself might be the real voice behind this sudden EU declaration of “Trump as top EU Threat”?
