Indeed, (welcome):thonetruthsmiliey::smile2:
Glad to have you with us, Chouchoucat! ;) :h5:
It is puzzling, isn't it? To me personally, it does indeed look like a mere Freudian slip — or perhaps a "fraudulent slip" :p — even if only because of the somewhat apathetic reaction of Juncker's audience. And yet, the very fact that the mainstream media has chosen to silently ignore what he said rather than make fun of it — which is what they would normally do — and that the transcript had been edited to remove that passage, is very suspicious, indeed.
Things that make you go "Hmmmm..." :hmm: ;)
Thank you, Aragorn! I have watched that clip over and over again because it took a couple of days to get hold of translations / subtitles. To me it seems a very calm deliberate statement to impress the severity of the situation.
My friend from Paris, who first shared the video in a Skype room, found it on orange.tv in the humor section. The Germans said he was 'babbling' and couldn't possibly have meant it.
The fact that he didn't get much response seemed to say to me that this was not new info to the people around him and that they either thought he was cookoo too or they just really didn't care.
First things first. Welcome to ToT
I watched Federica Mogherini as he spoke and her eyes and facial expression told me he was speaking an uncomfortable truth. It was a muted response, as if she knew it was coming and was reacting to the fact in real time. It had to be said and the deed was now done. The EU is faltering and the likely off-worlders are not of the forgiving variety. The EU is a managing agency for "them".
It's probably not much different than if you or I went up to one of these bureaucrat types and said something about ETs. They might think it's odd coming from Juncker but that he's just off his meds or something, which maybe he was.
Off worlders could easily be of human (Nazi) origin.....
