For any interested, the term 'defenestration' = being assassinated by being pushed out of a window and is a Czech term 'of art' and its sad history. Many very famous and important leaders have died this way. Of course it was reported afterwards to be suicide. None were. The last famous one was 1948 of politician Jan Masaryk, whose body was found in the courtyard of the Foreign Ministry, below his bathroom window. A 2004 police investigation into his death concluded that, contrary to the initial ruling, he did not commit suicide, but was defenestrated, most likely by Czechoslovak Communists and their Soviet NKVD advisers for opposing the February 1948 Communist putsch.
As to the article above, I could say much....but....only some short thoughts.
Klaus is a very weird guy any way you slice it. He is currently finishing-up a book about how climate change is a lie [one I don't buy as an Environmental Scientist, though I know some here do also believe this - that one is not a conspiracy - but sadly real.] Next he is a bit of a megalomaniac and there are hints of his being a mole for the Communist Secret Police, unconfirmed. The history of the Czech[oslovaks] and the Germans is complex, but I have to side with the Czechs in not allowing the Germans the right to challenge their expulsion at the end of WWII. As to the entire ball of wax that is the EU, another very complex topic....it is good in a few ways, and may have been designed by SOME as a good thing for the Peoples of Europe; however, OTHERS either planned from the get-go or have since designed/steered it to be a mechanism of control and consolidation of power, not unlike that going on in the USA and elsewhere, at this time in history. IMO
