Vaclav Klaus : I agree with Professor Richard Lindzen from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who said: “future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early 21st century’s developed world went into hysterical panic over a globally averaged temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and, on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer projections...

HONG KONG — With the signing of the Lisbon Treaty by Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus, the leaders of the 27 countries of the disunity known as the European Union are now free to take an important step backward on the tortuous road to give Europe global relevance that matches the size of its combined economies. They will go into an unholy huddle to choose someone who will bear the grandiloquent...

When the cowardly Vaclav Klaus, who finally succumbed to the sort of pressure one usually associates with 'sweeteners', such as extraordinarily large payments made into secret Swiss bank accounts, went down on his knees in Rome and accepted the illegal and undemocratic Lisbon Treaty without allowing his people the right to a referendum, a whole new Soviet Communist Super-State came into being.

Ronald Reagan’s stirring speech at the Berlin Wall on June 12th 1987 was not the death blow to communism, but it did highlight the West’s renewed confidence in demanding what had previously been impossible.

Today on Uncommon Knowledge , President Vaclav Klaus of the Czech Republic reflects on the twenty years since the fall of Communism. The first post-communist decade was a very positive decade.
