I Never Intended To Be A Politician

Eu Expansion Is, Unfortunately, Continuing Without A Constitution, As A Gradual Process Of Standardization - And That's Far More Dangerous. It Is Very Difficult To Slow Down This Process, Which Is Being Pushed Forward Without Significant Public Participation.

Nevertheless, There Is Another Threat On The Horizon. I See This Threat In Environmentalism Which Is Becoming A New Dominant Ideology, If Not A Religion. Its Main Weapon Is Raising The Alarm And Predicting The Human Life Endangering Climate Change Based On Man-made Global Warming.

Global Warming Is A False Myth And Every Serious Person And Scientist Says So. It Is Not Fair To Refer To The U.n. Panel. Ipcc Is Not A Scientific Institution: It’s A Political Body, A Sort Of Non-government Organization Of Green Flavor. It’s Neither A Forum Of Neutral Scientists Nor A Balanced Group Of Scientists. These People Are Politicized Scientists Who Arrive There With A One-sided Opinion And A One-sided Assignment.

I Was 25 Years Old And Pursuing My Doctorate In Economics When I Was Allowed To Spend Six Months Of Postgraduate Studies In Naples, Italy. I Read The Western Economic Textbooks And Also The More General Work Of People Like Hayek. By The Time I Returned To Czechoslovakia, I Had An Understanding Of The Principles Of The Market. In 1968, I Was Glad At The Political Liberalism Of The Dubcek Prague Spring, But I Was Very Critical Of The Third Way They Pursued In Economics.

Human Relations Tend To Be More Difficult When You're Dealing With Someone Who Weighs 30 Kilograms More Than You Do. That's When You Worry About Whether A Well-meaning Gesture Could Produce Complications. We Have No Problems With Countries Like Madagascar Or Bolivia, For Example. But Germany Is Our Neighbor And We Have A Shared Past. Besides, Germany Is Powerful And Ambitious And More Than Four Times As Large As We Are. It Makes Complete Sense That We Would Act Cautiously. It's Simply Realpolitik.
