Count Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi was the founder of the original EU and its President until his death in 1972. The Pan-European Union, which began life with his 1923 manifesto, 'Paneuropa,' was banned by Hitler in 1933 but, after WW2, the movement was reconstituted.
In Coudenhove-Kalergi's 1925 book, Practical Idealism, he set out his vision thus:
"The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today's races and classes will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time and prejudice. The Eurasian-Negroid race of the future, similar in its appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples...
Instead of destroying European Jewry, Europe, against its own will, refined and educated this people into a future leader-nation through this artificial selection process. No wonder that this people, that escaped Ghetto-Prison, developed into a spiritual nobility of Europe. Therefore a gracious Providence provided Europe with a new race of nobility."
The Count was the very first winner of the Charlemagne Prize, Europe's most prestigious New World Order gong. Tony Blair, Bill Clinton, Henry Kissinger, Edward Heath, Angela Merkel, Jean Claude Juncker, Herman van Rompuy, Winston Churchill and Roy Jenkins have also been awarded this New World Order badge of merit.
