Europe Must Become ‘Federation of States’, Barroso Says!

Revelation 13:1 – Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns,(b) and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.

  • Europe must become ‘federation of states’, Barroso says! 
    by http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ 
    The president of the European Commission called for the EU to be turned into a “federation of nation states” in a sweeping demand for countries to surrender more sovereignty and move towards full integration.

    In a speech to the European Parliament, the head of the bloc’s executive, President Jose Manuel Barroso, said he was not calling for a European “superstate”, but said the EU would always be less than the sum of its parts unless the union was deepened.
    -
    “Let’s not be afraid of the words: We will need to move towards a federation of nation states. This is our political horizon. This is what must guide our work in the years to come,” he said in his annual “state of the union” address.
    -
    “A democratic federation of nation states that can tackle our common problems, through the sharing of sovereignty in a way that each country and its citizens are better equipped to control their own destiny.”
