The place of the United States and Israel in the governments of the EU and France by Thierry Meyssan PARIS (FRANCE) The European Union was not founded by the Europeans, but by the United States and the United Kingdom to better control them. The European Commission (formerly known as the High Authority) is the unelected administration responsible for imposing its will on the Member States. In recent years, it has succeeded in extending the powers of the Commission to the detriment of the sovereignty of the Member States without changing anything in the Treaties. In the same vein, Michel Barnier brings the American Democrats and the fascist faction of Israel into the French government.
