US Money Subverts EU Federation??

This is interesting and certainly worth looking into further.... it would not be the first time that US companies sent money through a back channel to influence foreign referendums or elections in the direction of their own financial interests. Hardly.

If you can stand the anti-New World Order rants, he makes some deeper points worthy of attention.
