A continuing chronicle of how democracy is being destroyed across the entire European Union.
This blog is henceforth exploring various means whereby democracy may now be restored within or to the EU's formerly independent nation states now that economic chaos looms following the euro currency's apparently deliberate self-destruction, as long predicted on this blog? (Changed 23/11/10)

My Comment On Cameron's EU Speech
Cameron's Proclamation of Continuing Complicity in Corruption
There is no
excuse for a national leader to ignore history, let alone when the crucial
events lie within the memories of many of his listening audience. Why then did
David Cameron, last Wednesday, in his Bloomberg TV speech on the future place
in the European Union, devote the first seven or eight paragraphs to a series
of outright lies about the recent past of our troubled Continent?read here
The peaceand prosperity that the
twenty-seven, once sovereign, former nations now comprising the European Union presently
enjoy come with thanks to the generous spirit and kind heartedness of millions
of Americans and also, the unhappily often similarly EU disparaged, 'Big Oil'.
The history of
Marshall Plan and its even more generous forerunners cannot possibly be denied,but a link is here,for those wishing to
remind themselves of the facts.
The role of Big Oil, or the Seven Sisters, as the major oil companies were called in the days
when their influence was at its peak, is less well known and little publicised.
It is nevertheless almost equally crucial, for these large companies ensured ever
increasing supplies of low cost oil were unceasingly available and deliverable to
the war ravaged West throughout the nineteen-fifties and sixties. I played a
small part in that feat as I revealed in a brief posting to my blog, "Ironies
Too", in November 2007,linked here.
Fixed price and
abundant energy was the bedrock of European post-war re-birth. It came courtesy
of mostly American and some British oil interests. Part of the EU lack of
growth today derives from sound industrial investment decisions becoming
impossible in an unstable energy pricing environment. ‘Big Oil’ restored Europe’s
In light of these
clear and mostly well appreciated facts, why do generation after generation of
the appointed leaders of the lying, corrupt and eternally non-audited EU spout
the complete garbage that their organisation has somehow played a part in
the recent peace across the Western part of our Continent? A peace, which all
know was brought about by the sacrifice ofinter
alia, American, Australian, Commonwealth and Russian lives, and
subsequently guaranteed by NATO, itself an entity quite separate from any of
the earlier EU guises, including as it does Canada, Norway and Turkey.
Why is it that
the final nail delivered to the Communist control of many of the countries to
the east of the Rhine is rarely recognised as due to the determination and
leadership of US
President Ronald Reagan, supported by the cruise-missile basing decisions of
Margaret Thatcher and Helmut Kohl? Why do few remember that during this same period,
the navel-gazing EU, seemed solely concerned with their own greedy appetites,
endlessly arguing over wine lakes and butter mountains while apparently deaf to
the poverty and misery so abundant in the third world - sometimes even lying a
short distance beyond the limits of their club?
is true even today in the mean spiritedness of its present trade arrangements,
asset-stripping greed and in the all over-powering obsession with saving the
Euro currency. It would almost appear, that for the EU, the rest of the world
can go hang!
Yet, we do not
have to even delve back decades to see this ongoing distortion of historical
facts. It is evident that all who wish
to personally serve the EU must espouse such lies as proof of their own
corruptibility and willingness to downgrade and ignore the truth in furtherance
of the "Project". Consider the statements averred in the Berlin
Declaration of March 2007, set down in supposed celebration of the 50th
anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome,linked here.
Examine such promises and brave claims of noble intentions against the known
events within the EU as they have unfolded in the short intervening five or so
years since they were first agreed:
“In the European Union, we are turning our common
ideals into reality: for us, the individual is paramount. His dignity is
inviolable. His rights are inalienable.”
suggest that the reaction of an Athens subway worker, forced back to work this
weekend after the reported threat of five to seven year imprisonment should he
continue his strike, would be one of both mockery and anger. So, too, the
Portuguese emigrant seeking work in his country’s ex-colony, but now
independent and itself sovereign nation of Angola.
the impact of that empty rhetoric on the unemployed youth in Spain, with no
prospect of work and his parents possibly duped of their savings in a bank
they'd believed had been protected by their own once Sovereign State!
of the Government Ministers in Ireland,
believing they had shouldered the bad debts of their banks in solidarity to
save the Euro; but now it appears really for the entire liability of such debts
to fall mainly upon endless generations of future Irish citizens, as yet
unborn. This, too, became ever clearer just
this weekend with the second instalment on the Promissory Note, now just a few
weeks away, as prompt payment is apparently being demanded by the agents of the
Troika, from this bankrupt and downtrodden country! Quote them the following, if
any dare, again from the 2007 Berlin Declaration, and then gauge their likely response:
"The European Union is founded on equal rights
and mutually supportive co-operation....
Only together can we continue to preserve our ideal of
European society in future for the good of all European Union citizens."
that is the reason Cameron had to stress the Big Lie at the opening of his
speech. It is code to all his fellow conspirators in the secretive and all
powerful club that now manipulates almost every detail of our daily lives, that
he is good for all the little lies, too, all those in the Berlin Declaration
that tag along behind the big peace lie - like this most laughable of all,
where they dare to mention democracy, a concept proven by their actions that
are striving for peace and freedom, for democracy and the rule of law, for
mutual respect and shared responsibility, for prosperity and security, for
tolerance and participation, for justice and solidarity."
contrary, they are struggling to retain their power and wealth, dishonestly obtained,
and will stop at almost nothing to do so. That is why Cameron's speech is not
worthy of any consideration beyond paragraph eight. He has nailed his colours
to the mast, committing himself to continuing complicity in corruption,
regardless of the cost to his country, on the promise of what future
rewards within the structures of the EU, should it be allowed to survive, we
can merely speculate!
The above was the posting on Cameron's 23rd January 2013 speech on Britain and the EU delivered at Bloomberg offices in London as published by IB Times see here. The text of the speech is here. Note this latter link may disappear like that to Blair's landmark EU speech made in Cardiff, now almost impossible to quickly locate on the internet!
<"Most people prefer to believe that their leaders are just and fair, even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which they live is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of a corrupt Government risks harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one's self image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker, but only to give the moral cowards an excuse to think nothing at all."
