Default Our New Pres.

Real nice guy, eh ?

Well at least it's nice to know he's honest about lying through his teeth.

Jean-Claude Juncker profile: 'When it becomes serious, you have to lie' - Telegraph


"We decide on something, leave it lying around and wait and see what happens. If no one kicks up a fuss, because most people don't understand what has been decided, we continue step by step until there is no turning back," he said of the euro's introduction.

At the height of the eurozone crisis, Mr Juncker was described as the “master of lies” for organising a meeting of finance ministers to talk about whether Greece could remain in the single currency and then trying to deny it was taking place.

Germany's Suddeutsche Zeitung accused Mr Juncker of “taking the lead on the deception” and warned he had managed “to fritter away the last remaining trust the people of Europe still have”.

Mr Juncker has never hidden his view that the compromises and deals being worked out in EU meetings or leaders or ministers need be protected from public scrutiny, by lies if necessary.

"When it becomes serious, you have to lie," he said.

In May 2011, he told a meeting of the federalist European Movement that he often “had to lie” and that eurozone monetary policy should be discussed in “secret, dark debates”.

He also sparked controversy by suggesting that the eurozone economic policy was incompatible with democracy.

“We all know what to do, we just don't know how to get re-elected after we've done it,” Mr Juncker cynically quipped last year.

Mr Juncker was also closely linked to the EU constitution, before the French referendum on it in 2005 he predicted, correctly, that Europe would ignore any popular rejections.

“If it's a Yes, we will say 'on we go', and if it's a No we will say 'we continue’,” he said.

Well, as many here often unwittingly suggest, this "democracy" nonsense only serves to enable a population of morons to exercise nocuous influence over respectable ivory-tower leaders such as Mr. Juncker.

In America there is a saying that "If you ain't cheatin then you ain't tryin(And its only cheatin if you get caught). He is apparently the continental version.
