The Chinese Government have created their own problem by making the lives of occupied Tibetans so utterly wretched that they have nothing to lose but their miserable lives which they are sick of anyway. The Chinese Government have stupidly ensured that Tibetans are NEVER going to shut up, they are ALWAYS going to riot and protest!
What is it going to take for the mass of millions of servile and cowardly Chinese slaves to wake up and join them though?
| WHEN by my solitary hearth I sit, Tibet Today - Great Britain, America, Europe, Australasia Tomorrow. The Communists do it by blatent force gaining utter control, killing millions without conscience using direct attack with violence, guns and open warfare. Slaughtering, raping, burning, stealing, ruining and wrecking. The Socialists do it by stealth, gaining utter control by telling lies and using bureaucracy, slyly taking their time, spying and hollowing out institutions, manipulating and weakening a country until it crumbles and they can then take over, masquerading as "saviours," killing millions. (abortion, "mercy killing," living wills, dangerous vaccines, dirty hospitals, poisonous GM food, etc) Outcome - identical - genocide, tyranny, ruin and a cowed, slave state. In the long vista of the years to roll, The Fabian Society founded in 1884 by British socialists Sidney and Beatrice Webb, George Bernard Shaw and others, the Fabian plan is to implement world socialism incrementally through legislation. Shaw named the society after the Roman General Fabius Cuncator, whose stealthy guerilla military tactics led to victory over the superior forces of the Carthaginian General, Hannibal. Cuncator avoided open battle, preferring the strategy of wearing down his opponent with elusive hit and run maneuvers. “It (The Fabian Society) therefore aims at the reorganization of society by the emancipation of land and industrial Capital from individual and class ownership…The

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth’s_atmosphere
This link shows the content of our planet's atmosphere. You will see that air contains many elements including CO2. In fact, as you should remember from school, we actually exhale CO2 from our lungs. We also, much to our embarrassment, exude Methane from the other end of our bodies, as do the other animals. These gases occur and are emitted due to the continuous chemical reaction which takes place in our bodies called "life."www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/budget/budget_08/bud_bud08_speech.cfm
It strikes me that a crafty magician's trick has been pulled on the general public here. The valid urgency of the 70s- 80s policy in reducing CO pollution in city environments ( bearing in mind that volcanoes spew this stuff out in gargantuan amounts on a regular basis, and anyway it eventually gets transformed by the atmosphere into CO2 etc. ) seems to have morphed into the principle of keeping down CO2 emissions, but it is not the same thing!
Surely, if CO2 bothers us, we should simply plant more trees - reforestation, green some of the desert areas, and stop polluting the air and seas with toxic chemicals, waste and nuclear radiation so seaweed and plankton stop dying and start to grow and reproduce more. This will create more oxygen, and more CO2 will be absorbed from the air by plant life.
The burping and farting of bovine animals, and of us, plus the emission of CO2 from our breath and combustion machines is our modern life. Planet Earth can handle life, that is its purpose. Life is not pollution. At the risk of sounding like Star Treck - carbon based life forms are not an infestation. Carbon is what we all are.
If those in power are really bothered by CO2 from vehicles then why don't they introduce the necessary changes from the boring, old-fashioned oil and petrol system we have now had for over 100 years, to the new cleaner technologies that have long-since been invented and whose patents have been bought or stolen, and hidden away.
But of course, why bother to do that when the Big Boys can make money from nothing by frightening us all into paying for our natural emissions?
The EU and the UN are very busy now designing and promoting new environmental taxes, where will all that money be going? No mention of that yet, hmmm… 3 guesses!
How many birds, whales or woodlands will be saved? Will the rivers, air and the sea be any cleaner?
Has it occurred to ordinary Britons that the new environmental taxes are just a replacement for the tobacco tax that will be lost once most of us have given up smoking? It is a hyped-up con!
How often have we joked that the government would tax the very air we breathe if they could? Well actually, to a certain extent with the tobacco tax, they have been taxing the breath of a large number of us for decades.
HELLO – now they are about to tax us ALL for every breath!
The carbon tax is a crafty con-trick, to tax air! To tax your breath!
It is so beautifully evil and we are all so supine and naive! World governments have worked out a way to con us all into paying for ordinary air!
In other words, we will be taxed on nothing! Do you get that? We will be taxed on nothing!
Naturally, it is an EU priority issue, and a top UN initiative. It will rake in wealth for the evil few in authority like never before, giving them even more power over us.
Our environment will get no cleaner of course, in fact it will get more polluted and more “dangerous” so you’ll need to pay more and more and more, as time passes.
Over-paid, traitorous “environmental” Celebrity Skunks will be prattling on about nothing else in the mainstream media for years to come until you accept the principle! Heaping the guilt on us all so we pay up and are grateful. Making it cool, hip and trendy to “care” about the planet! Celebrity Scumbags will say anything they are paid to! Are you already falling for this scam?
Pollution and extreme weather issues are being cruelly manipulated by our deceitful government purely for the financial gain of the merciless, clandestine elite who are the ones really responsible for the damage ! And who really do not care at all!
Why not do some investigating of your own, read some scientific research? Serious factors that do have an effect on our atmosphere and environment are not being openly discussed, shouldn't we know more about these?
Ever heard of Operation Argus, Operation Starfish, HAARP, scalar weaponry, weather control experiments, the chem.trail/contrail debate? In the last 60 years government programs across the world have shot our upper atmosphere with mega-tonnes of radiation to deliberately destroy the Van Allen Belts (nature’s radiation shield) just to see what happens?!!!
Dangerous, poisonous chemicals are being released for ongoing attempts at weather control. Germs and viruses are being released into the air, and HAARP is suspected by many of literally boiling the upper atmosphere as we speak! Some believe this to be behind recent incidents of disruption to insect and bird migrational activity, and the beaching of entire pods of whales and dolphins.
Read what you can about the use of depleted uranium (DU) in weapons technology, and what it does to our environment. Truly sick, and potentially fatal for all of us!

The time-line explained:
KARL MARX.1818-1883
Marx was a German Jew with radical views.
In 1842 he became a member of the Hegelians an anti-religious, radical group with Satanic interests.
In 1843 he left Germany and went to Paris where he met Engels who helped him financially.
In 1845 he was expelled from Paris.
In 1848 went to live in Brussels were he wrote the Communist Manifesto.
In 1849 Marx moved to London and lived there for the rest of his life.
In 1864 following the establishment of Working Men’s Association. Marx worked for many years on the affairs of First International.
“Das Kapital” was published 1867.
MARX died in 1883 in London and is buried in Highgate.
THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO INCLUDES.
The Abolition of Private Property
The Abolition of the Family.
The Abolition of Countries and Nationalities.
The Abolition of all Religions, morality and Religious Liberty, this shows the Hegelians Idealism.
The Abolition of Freedom of conscience. In a Democracy people believe in the freedom to choose.
The word Communist covers anyone who aspires to World Government.
Marxism works towards achieving World Government and World Dictatorship.
MARX WITH HIS FRIENDS
Marx and his friends Engles and Balunin received their ideas from Moses Hess the founder of the German Social Democrat Party. Moses Hess taught that to gain a World State it could only be brought about by a revolution using class and racial hatred. He said race struggle is primary, class struggle is secondary.”
Mikhail Balunin said “That what ever the name or label of those who aspire to world government they must be prepared to awake the devil in people and stir their passions for them to act.” Passion as with football hooligans, vandals and various peace groups and the race groups.
THREE REQUIREMENTS TO BECOME A MARXIST
Marx wrote three requirements for those who wished to join the fight for World Government.
1 To read the Communist and Revolutionary teachings of Marx and associates and work accordingly.
2 To work to destabilise nations both morally and financially.
3 To work to gain political control of the MONEY supply and the ASSETS of each Nation and put them BEYOND the REACH and CONTROL of each Government by ensuring that nations become INTER-DEPENDANT on each other for FOOD, MACHINERY and through LOANS.
Marx also said, “Steps should be taken to provide a master race to produce Leaders and Dictators”
(2007.Could the first or second generation now be in place.?)
RUSSIA. 1917.
The Bolsheviks needed a good military base to succeed in their bid for world government.
In the 19th Century the Bolsheviks tried to taker-over Russia and failed. In 1917 under cover of the First World War they started their second Campaign against RUSSIA, this time from a good military base. They seized control of BANKS and THE MONEY SUPPLY and STOCKS of FOOD.
As the food ran out the people became too weak to fight the Bolsheviks terrorists. (They are now called Soviets) They are one arm of an organisation which seeks to bring about a one world state.
When Russia fell to the Bolsheviks. LENIN who was the LEADER of the SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY became the first DICTATOR of the UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLICS. Many of the countries surrounding Russia also became Communists states.
COMMUNIST INTERNATIONAL.1928.
In 1928 The Communist International presented a three-stage plan for world government.
1 To level the economies of all nations by introducing a single currency.
2 To bring about REGIONAL UNION between various groups of socialist Nations.
3 To amalgamate all these REGIONAL groups into the finale World-wide Union of Socialist States.
COMMUNIST INTERNATIONAL 1938
In 1938 in the Communist International there appeared an official statement.
It said “Dictatorship can only be established by the victory of Socialism in different countries. Then the joining of all the other republics could complete the UNION OF SOCIALIST SOVIET REPUBLICS.”
1942 STALIN’S COMMUNIST GOAL. A WORLD MADE OF REGIONS.
Stalin defined the Intermediate goals of Communism necessary for the final take-over of the World.
1 TO CONFUSE, DISORGANISE AND DESTROY THE FORCES OF CAPITALISM AROUND THE WORLD .
2 TO BRING ALL NATIONS TOGETHER INTO A SINGLE WORLD SYSTEM. REGIONALISM.
3 Force advanced Countries to pour prolonged finance into under developed Countries.
4 Divide the world into REGIONAL groups at the transitional stage to total World Government, then populations will more readily abandon their loyalty to their countries and accept loyalty to their REGION instead. Later the REGIONS can all be brought together into WORLD DICTATORSHIP.
5 We will indoctrinate the youth to embrace Marxism (under other labels ) as the correct and political social viewpoint.
6 Neutralise youth against religious influences of home and all other concepts of rigid morality which might interfere with the acceptance of Marxism and communist doctrine.
1942 at the same time STALIN was co-operating with nations in the West to lay the foundations for the United Nations Organisation.
1943 A PAN NATIONAL ORGANISATION. THE UNITED NATIONS ORGANISATION.
1.The formation of the United Nations Organisation was a necessary preliminary for the Russian Soviets.
2.In 1943 it was agreed that the post of Secretary General and Political Affairs should always be held by a nominee of the USSR.
3.The United Nations Buildings in New York contains a Satanic Chapel. This reflects the same theme.
4.In 1947 a Document was published “Design for Europe” promoting a United Nations Army. The army was eventually inaugurated in 1993.
The creation of the EEC, The Treaty of Rome and the Treaty to Establish the European Union has been absolutely crucial for the plans for Communism and World Dictatorship.
THE DESTABLISATION OF THE BRITISH POLITICAL SYSTEM.
In 1946 THE UNITED NATIONS ORGANISATION gained influence into the Sovereignty of the UNITED KINGDOM by THE STATUTORY INSTRUMENT ACT.1946 and three weeks later the UNITED NATIONS ACT 1946 which was brought before the HOUSE OF COMMONS when most Members had gone home. These two Acts ensured that the COMMUNIST wishes of the UNITED NATIONS SECRETARIAT and UNESCO are implemented in this country without making it obvious.
HAROLD WILSON signed an agreement with Soviet Union committing the British Government to back plans for a WORLD GOVERNMENT DICTATORSHIP.( Command paper 5924.)
2007 THE WORLD GOVERNANCE GROUP IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS 2007.
An all Parliamentary Group for World Governance met in the House of Commons on 12 June 2007.
The Group’s purpose is to promote democratic reform of the United Nations, Global Institutions and International law. Chairman Dr Gavin Strange, Vice Chairmen, Dr Nick Palmer and Joan Wally.
AFTER 1946 SOME TREATIES WERE DIFFERENT THEY CAME WITHOUT SUBSTANCE
Since 1946 there has been a lack of substance to some of the Treaties made with Great Britain they became thin and ambiguous to be filled out later.
In 1996 John Major complained in a letter to Jaques Santer that after the Maastricht treaty was published he found it was not as he, or the British Government had intended, or signed for.
In the 1950’s and 1960’s Ministers made trade visits to Russia and under treaties and agreements they exchanged goods and materials. Many of our industries where closed down or given away. Car and steel making. ships and shipbuilding.
In 1964 the Treaty with the USSR signed by Fred Mulley and Tony Wedgewood Benn did not actually mention the words Nuclear Power. Yet under that treaty the whole of Britain’s nuclear know-how was given away to the USSR.
In 1968 another treaty signed by Goromy Roberts paved the way for the run down of Britain’s Merchant Navy and the handing over of ships and our shipping routes to the USSR. The terms of this Treaty were so outrageous that it was not printed until after the statutory period for prosecutions for TREASON had expired. This Treaty had been implemented right away.
THE COMMUNIST HIDDEN AGENDA.
Infiltration from the top.
In Britain in 1940 at a meeting in Oxford the speaker Harold Wilson explained to the understanding audience how they could help make World Government happen. They should not join the Communist party they should join the Conservatives or Labour parties and lean to the Right and Left of those parties, so that when the time was right they must then create a smoke screen and come together as a party of national unity. He said confidently that one day he would be Prime Minister and so he was.
BRITAIN’S APPLICATION TO JOIN.THE EEC.
In 1972 The British Government applied to join the EEC. Prime Minister Edward Heath assured the British people that they would not lose their sovereignty, although his friend Lord Kilmuir had warned him in a letter that it could happen. Under articles 189 and 191 of the Treaty of Rome the EEC Commissioners are empowered to formulate Directives and Decisions that take precedence over Britain’s national laws.
In October 1972 Mr Heath attended a meeting in Paris to negotiate with M.Pompidou (a former employee of Guy Rothschild) the conditions of Britains entry. This included that Britain’s Fishermen should fish under the EEC. quota system and that our maritime limits should be surrendered.
In 1972 Edward Heath invited Victor Rothchild to head-up and choose members for the Central Policy Review staff. Victor Rothschild wrote a white paper on research and development, since that time official Treasury policies have included eradication of our aircraft, shipbuilding, Coal mining, car making, steel making, machine-tool industries and others.
Speaking at a meeting at the time, John Davies the then Secretary of State for Industry said that Britain had agreed with the EEC that UK technology should be merged with European Industry.
In 1962. At Dounray in Scotland a fast breeder reactor power station was begun, it was the first of its type in the world and after 15 years it was closed in 1977. At the same site a second type of fast breeder reactor was begun in 1974 and closed in 1994.The Specialist teams of scientists were dispersed and the nuclear know-how given to France. The Rothschilds acquired much of the available Uranium.
Britain agreed to run down Stirling. Mr Heath agreed to renounce national sovereignty and for Britain to become part of a Federal Europe. He agreed to change the local government structure from counties to Regions also to reorganise Government departments so that the British Parliament could be replaced.
GAINING CONTROL OF THE FOOD SUPPLIES
In 1998 at a meeting of Agriculture Ministers in Brussels the EU’s long term plans for Britain were unfolded They said; Live stock farming in the Britain would be abolished and changed to Arable farming. This would take place without the consent of the British people.
FORWARD PLANNING
The abolition of our Abattoirs .
In the 1990s many British abattoirs were closed because they did not reach EU standards. A few larger ones were built instead; this is why animals have to travel long distances for slaughter.
BSE IN CATTLE. This disease is not a contagious disease between animals and man. In Britain BSE in cattle is caused by painting Organo Phosphate nerve poison onto the heads and spines of cattle at four times the normal strength. The poison was laced with oil to help it penetrate the skin to stop warble-fly damage. This EU practice only took place in BRITAIN and Switzerland, but has now been discontinued. Starting in 1986 this poison was also used in sheep-dip but not in the same strength. Hundreds of farmers have become ill from contamination. 200 have died. This poison was also used in the Gulf War with similar effects.
See Mark Purdey's investigations:
http://markpurdey.com/mark_purdey_the_book_animal_pharm.htm
FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
Early in 2001 the British Press reported the Government Laboratories at Porton Down had lost phials of Foot and Mouth virus. Soon after, came the outbreak of Foot and mouth disease in England resulting in 14 million animals being killed and buried or burnt. Only three million animals were diseased the other 11 million lived within the contamination zones. This is not a killer disease in animals or man. It is a recoverable disease. Vaccination could have been used to save 11 million healthy animals. The Cull was managed from Brussels. Four areas on the map of England had a high concentration of cases, the Solway Firth, Wales and the Midlands and Devon. These areas are shown on a UN map for re-wilding. The Farmer blamed for the outbreak was exonerated in 2007.
In 2007 came a second outbreak of Foot and mouth in England. The Virus was found in the land drains around Government laboratories at Pirbright in Surrey. The outbreak began on a farm 3 miles away to the south west of Pirbright. Local people on TV stated that the water table drains naturally from the Farms towards the laboratories. Not the other way around.
When Foot and mouth has finally run its course there will be fewer farms or farmers left to raise Cattle and sheep and arable farming is a whole new Industry. Grain can only be grown on the flat land of eastern Britain. Western Britain is hilly sheep country and unsuitable for growing crops.
2003. A GOVERNMENT WHITE PAPER.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL, TRANSPORT AND REGIONAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE reported that. “THE ROLE OF RURAL ENGLAND AS A FOOD PROVIDER FOR THE NATION IS NO LONGER AN ESSENTIAL ONE.” To put the Nation’s food supply in the hands of a Foreign government is TREASON. As an Island nation we must ensure that we grow and raise our own food supply. Britains population is estimated to grow to 70 million by 2050. Already we are vulnerable; our milk supply is an important part of our diet for the young and elderly. YET, for years the EU have only allowed our farmers to produce 60% of our requirement the rest must be bought from abroad.
BY STEALTH BRITAIN HAS BEEN EASED INTO THE CONTINENTAL SHOE
In 1973-1975 John Prescott was a delegate to the Council of Europe and from 1975-1979 he was a member of the European Assembly.
In 1999 John Prescot introduced his 30 year old Dream for EU Regions in Britain. Under the EU plan Britain has been divided into 12 Regions. Scotland is a Region, N.I, Wales, London and England. ENGLAND has been divided into eight EU Regions.
THEN ENGLAND’S NAME WAS TAKEN OFF THE EUROPEAN MAP IN 1997.
In 1998/99. Deputy Prime Minister John Prescot handpicked 60 people in each of the EIGHT ENGLISH REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCIES to direct the building of 3 Millon new houses.
Sixty-six volunteer local Councillors were invited to become Members of the ASSEMBLY along with 40 Stakeholders or Partners. Together all three groups are known as the Regional Assembly. There is a support office of Civil Servants.
In 2004 the voters in the Northeast of England voted ‘NO’ to ELECTED. REGIONAL ASSEMBLIES. So the unelected Development agencies combined with one layer of local council will be the new Regional Government. These new Regional Assemblies will work with the “Committee of the Regions”in Brussels, cutting out national Parliament giving the EU Commission direct access to all Regional Assemblies in Europe. All things traditional will be abolished; All sovereignty will pass to BRUSSELS bringing a Foreign government nearer to the people.
STOP PRESS.15 NOVEMBER 2007. On Friday
In a Speech today he said “THE EUROPEAN UNION SHOULD WORK TOWARDS INCLUDING RUSSIA, THE MIDDLE EAST AND THE NORTH AFRICAN COUNTRIES. He continued THAT THE E.U.WOULD NOT BECOME A SUPER POWER BUT SHOULD BE A ROLE MODEL FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD.
THE EU COULD BE A MODEL OF POWER FOR REGIONAL CO-OPERATION, DEDICATED TO FREE TRADE. THE ENVIRONMENT AND TACKLING EXTREMISM.”
Our Common law is being eradicated and the 1972 Act gives precedence to Community law.
UNLESS BRITAIN RESCINDS (1) THE 1972 EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ACT.(2) THE 1946 UNITED NATIONS ACT AND (3) THE 1946 STATUTORY INSTRUMENTS ACT, BRUSSELS WILL GAIN ACCESS TO BRITAIN’S SOVEREIGNTY AND EU LAW WILL BE SUPREME.

by Rodney Atkinson 
Today the 800-year-old British constitution has been fatally undermined and the British Parliament has, against the wishes of the true “sovereigns” the voters, delegated the government of Britain to others. The British courts no longer decide or interpret our law, the British people have lost their exclusively British passport (the one document which has in the past proved conclusive in the determination of treasonable conduct) and they have become “citizens” of a so called “European Union”, with duties towards and taxable by that supranational power.
This process of undermining national democracies and establishing unaccountable bureaucratic and corporatist government at the supranational level has been taken further in European than in North America. But by imitating the European model the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has within it the seeds of the destruction of Canada, Mexico and the USA as self-governing democracies.
 |  |
The British Constitution is (or was before Edward Heath’s scandalous betrayal of 1972) principally the written historical record of the statutes of our Parliament, case law and convention. Each Act of Parliament was capable of overturning previous Acts or parts of previous Acts. Heath’s 1972 European Act purported to completely reverse that principle - thus binding all future parliaments to the rule of Brussels and all future Acts over turn-able by that 1972 Act. Thus Westminster statutes like the 1985 Weights and Measures Act and the Merchant Shipping Act have been overturned by those who passed them (supine British MPs) on the orders of the Euro-State.
Later Treaties merely extended the 1972 obeisance to alien law (usually by deceit and sleight of hand) to ever more areas of policy making. None of this was ever contained in a British Party’s election manifesto.
Or rather this is what Heath and other Prime Ministers who signed European Treaties purported to do. In fact the whole edifice is both democratically and constitutionally corrupt, as the late Norris McWhirter and I demonstrated in detail in our 1994 book Treason at Maastricht. The disgraceful use of Crown Prerogative to sign international treaties which overturned (de facto or de jure it matters little) the internal constitution of the United Kingdom was the greatest betrayal in British history. As the Liberty Fund wrote of the great English constitutionalist Sir Edward Coke (1552 - 1634):
“He successfully defended English liberties against the royal prerogative of the Stuart kings and established the rule of Law for the English speaking peoples”.
And in the 20th century under Edward Heath, John Major, Tony Blair and (suspicious but suitably misled) even Margaret Thatcher that achievement of Sir Edward Coke has been reversed. Today the British people have lost their liberty to the new Stuarts — the corporatist, authoritarian, anti-democratic Leviathan of the European Union — and they have done so through elected politicians using that very instrument of Royal Prerogative power against their own people.

But given the nature of the European Union and the history of its founders this is not surprising. Leading Nazis and Fascists were prominent in the founding of the European Common Market, the principles of which were clearly laid out in the work of Hitler’s Economics Minister Walter Funk in 1942 - see the book Treason at Maastricht). It was Nazis who developed the Charlemagne Prize given to those who have done most to destroy the democratic nation states of Europe (Bill Clinton, Edward Heath, Tony Blair, Roy Jenkins, etc). And one of the leading European movements promoting ethnic regionalism was founded by the Nazis and is today funded by the German Government (the Federal Union of European Nationalities).
The modern European Union incorporates that same mixture of German imperialism and European Fascism which we fought two world wars to defeat. Today, through the corporatist and supranational power of the European Union, its single currency and its destruction of 27 national constitutions those defeated powers have, led by Germany, largely overturned the Treaties of Versailles which concluded the First World War and the Treaties of Potsdam and Yalta which concluded the Second World War.
German interests are gradually taking over central and Eastern Europe with the acquisition of industrial and financial corporations, newspapers, television and radio stations in Poland, the Czech Republic and the former Yugoslavia. Czechoslovakia has been broken up as has Yugoslavia — and into virtually the same petty states created by Mussolini’s Italy and Hitler’ Germany in the 1940s.
Britain and the USA have conspired with the German political class to destroy their historic allies (the Serbs, Czechs, Poles and others) and promote historic enemies like the Slovaks, Croats, Albanians and Muslim Bosnians all of which states were devoted followers of Fascism in the 1940s. The attack on Yugoslavia (illegal on at least 7 counts under international law — see LINK) was instigated by Germany and the decades long interventions in Yugoslavia by its Secret Service.
The break up of Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia by Germany in the 1990s was based on their careful structuring of the European Union’s supranational law (to bypass parliaments), its presumption of “European citizenship” (to bypass nation states), regionalism (to bypass democratic governments in national capitals) a central bureaucracy and “European Court of Justice” (to replace democratic accountability with non parliamentary bureaucratic control) and the promotion of ethnic groups as a battering ram to destroy the homogeneity of the nation states.
None of this would have been possible without the removal of two fundamental pillars of democratic internationalism. Firstly the subservience of bureaucratic and corporate power to the democratic process, parliament and the rule of law was reversed. This had happened domestically through high taxation, State economic and social interventions, a new professional political class and the mass media manipulation of electorates. But it was the use of Crown prerogative (or Presidential prerogative) powers which enabled Governments to sign away democratic constitutional control by international treaties — which were then presented to national Parliaments as a fait accompli.
Having turned MPs into paid lackeys of the State, the State apparatus and the party hierarchies were able to turn the “democratic representatives” of the people into a pliant rubber stamp for such anti-democratic notions. The treaties which undermined national democracies were therefore passed - only occasionally with any difficulty — into law.
Secondly at the Supranational level all the historic and legal precedents which protected the nation state as sovereign (i.e. self-governing) were systematically abandoned. The interventions by Germany, the USA and the European Union in Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia and today’s illegal recognition of an Albanian Kosovo, were in defiance of the explicit terms of Section III of the 1975 Helsinki final Act (inviolability of frontiers), of Article 2 (4) of the UN Charter and of the first international treaty to set these principles, the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia.
Significantly the latter treaty brought peace to Europe after decades of religious wars and the principle is perhaps even more vital today to counter the supranational hegemonies of the secular religions of corporatism, communism and fascism - although we must never forget the major role played by the Vatican (which tried to strangle the Italian state at birth) in the “building of Europe”.
To say that the European Union is a combination of modern corporatism and historic fascism may sound extreme but readers of this article might like to guess which of these quotations from European leaders stem from the 1930s and 40s and which from the 1990s:
“Might is right in politics and war” “Genocide is a natural phenomenon, it is recommended, even commanded by the Almighty”. “Many Jews survive today thanks to the circumstance that they were forced Labourers. Germans are tired of philo-semitic over-compensation in the media and sterile grief Rituals by politicians”
“The Jews should consider whether they would have behaved heroically if they had not been victims of the persecution” “Germany should now, as it has become peaceful and reasonable, get all that Europe and the whole world has refused in two gigantic wars - a sort of smooth hegemony over Europe”
In fact all the above ideas were expressed in the 1990s by (in this order) Helmut Kohl, Chancellor of Germany, Franjo Tudjman, President of Croatia, Professor Lutz Niethammer, Adviser to German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, Klaus von Dohnanyi, the Former Mayor of Hamburg and Joschka Fischer, Former German Foreign Secretary.
No wonder, as Newsweek noted on 6th June 1997, that German troops who marched into Bosnia after the break up of Yugoslavia in 1997 were greeted with cries of “Sieg Heil.”

Today the European Union leaders signed the Lisbon Treaty. This treaty gives the EU the constitutional form of a state. These are the ten most important things the Lisbon Treaty does:
1. It establishes a legally new European Union in the constitutional form of a supranational European State.
2. It empowers this new European Union to act as a State vis-à-vis other States and its own citizens.
3. It makes us all citizens of this new European Union.
4. To hide the enormity of the change, the same name - European Union - will be kept while the Lisbon Treaty changes fundamentally the legal and constitutional nature of the Union.
5. It creates a Union Parliament for the Union’s new citizens.
6. It creates a Cabinet Government of the new Union.
7. It creates a new Union political President.
8. It creates a civil rights code for the new Union’s citizens.
9. It makes national Parliaments subordinate to the new Union.
10. It gives the new Union self-empowerment powers.
1. The Lisbon Treaty establishes a legally quite new European Union. This is a Union in the constitutional form of a supranational European State:
The Treaty gives this new Union a State Constitution which is identical in its legal effects to the EU Constitution that French and Dutch voters rejected in their 2005 referendums.
It does this by amending the two existing basic European Treaties, the “Treaty on European Union” (TEU) and the “Treaty Establishing the European Community” (TEC). The former retains its name, while the latter is renamed the “Treaty on the Functioning of the Union” (TFU). These two amended Treaties become the de facto Constitution of the new Union which they constitute or establish, although they are not called a Constitution. The EU has thus been given a Constitution indirectly rather than in direct form, as had been proposed in the Treaty which the peoples of France and Holland rejected in 2005.
The provision of the Lisbon Treaty that “The Union shall replace and succeed the European Community” (Art.1.3, amended TEU) makes absolutely clear that the post-Lisbon Union will be quite a new entity, as the European Community of which our countries are all currently members ceases to exist.
2. The Treaty empowers this new European Union to act as a State vis-à-vis other States and its own citizens:
To understand the change introduced by the Lisbon Treaty one needs to understand that what we call the European Union today is not a State. It is not even a legal or corporate entity in its own right, for it does not have legal personality. The name “European Union” at present is a descriptive term for all the relations between its 27 Member States.
At present these relations cover both the “European Community” area where supranational European law is operative, and the “intergovernmental” areas of foreign policy and justice and home affairs where Member States cooperate with one another on the basis of keeping their sovereignty and where European laws do not apply.
The Lisbon Treaty changes this situation by creating a constitutionally and legally quite new EU, while retaining the same name, the “Union”. Unlike the present European Union, this legally new EU will be separate from and superior to its Member States, just as the USA is separate from and superior to California or New York, or Federal Germany to Bavaria or Brandenburg.
This new European Union can sign treaties with other States in all areas of its competence and conduct itself as a State in the international community of States. It can speak at the United Nations on agreed foreign policy positions of its Member States, just as in the days of the Soviet Union the USSR had a UN seat while Russia, Ukraine and Byelorussia had UN seats also.
The Lisbon Treaty also gives the EU a political President, a Foreign Minister - to be called a High Representative - a diplomatic corps and a Public Prosecutor. The new EU will accede to the European Convention on Human Rights, as all other European States have already done, including those outside the EU.
The Treaty also sets out the principle of the primacy of the laws of the new Union over the laws of its Member States (Declaration 27). The new EU makes the majority of laws for its Member States each year and under the Lisbon Treaty the new Union, which will replace the European Community, gets further power to make laws or take decisions by qualified majority vote in relation to some 68 new policy areas or matters where Member States currently have a veto.
3. The Treaty makes us all real citizens of this new European Union for the first time, instead of our being notional or honorary European “citizens” as at present:
A State must have citizens and one can only be a citizen of a State.
Citizenship of the European Union at present is stated to “complement” national citizenship, the latter being clearly primary, not least because the present EU is not a State. It is not even a corporate entity that can have individuals as members, not to mind citizens.
By transforming the legal character of the Union, the Lisbon Treaty transforms the meaning of Union citizenship. Article.17b.1 TEC/TFU replace the word “complement” in the sentence “Citizenship of the Union shall complement national citizenship”, so that the new sentence reads: “Citizenship of the Union shall be in addition to national citizenship.” This gives the 500 million inhabitants of the present EU Member States a real separate citizenship from citizenship of their national States for the first time. It gives a treble citizenship to citizens of Bavaria and Brandenburg within a Federal State like Germany. The rights and duties attaching to this citizenship of the new Union are be superior to those attaching to citizenship of one’s own national State in any case of conflict between the two, because of the superiority of EU law over national law and constitutions.
As most States only recognise that one can have a single citizenship, henceforth it is one’s Union citizenship which will be regarded by other countries as primary and superior to one’s national citizenship.
Although we will be given rights as EU citizens, we should not forget that as real citizens of the new European Union we also owe it the normal citizens’ duty of obedience to its laws and loyalty to its authority, which will be a higher authority than that of our national States and constitutions.
Member States retain their national constitutions, but they are subordinate to the new Union Constitution. As such they will no longer be constitutions of sovereign States, just as the various local states of the USA retain their constitutions although they are subordinate to the Federal US Constitution.
4. To hide the enormity of the change, the same name - European Union - will be kept while the Lisbon Treaty changes fundamentally the legal and constitutional nature of the Union. By this means the importance of the proposed change is kept hidden from the people:
The change in the constitutional nature of both the Union and its Member States will be made in three legal steps that are set out in the Treaty:
(a) It establishes a European Union with an entire legal personality and independent corporate existence in all Union areas for the first time, so that it can function as a State vis-à-vis other States and in relation to its own citizens (Art.32, amended TEU);
(b) This new European Union replaces the existing European Community and takes over all of its powers and institutions. It takes over as well the “intergovernmental” powers over foreign policy and crime, justice and home affairs which at present are outside the scope of European law, leaving only the Common Foreign and Security Policy outside the scope of its supranational power (Art.11.1, amended TEU).
It thereby gives a unified constitutional structure to the new Union which it will constitute or establish. The European Community disappears and all spheres of public policy will come within the scope of supranational EU law-making either actually or potentially, as in any constitutionally unified State. (One says “potentially” because further inter-State treaties would be required to transfer the minority of law-making powers still remaining with the Member States to the new Union in the future, or to shift powers back from the supranational level to the Member States - something that has never happened up to now. Supranational legislative acts would not yet be adopted in the sphere of Common Foreign and Security Policy and new treaties would be needed to change that. However the Commission, a key supranational body, will through the High Representative/Foreign Minister gain the right of initiative in the foreign policy field, so that even in the light of Art.11.1 TEU a de facto “supranationality” will be attained here);
(c) It makes us all real citizens of the new Federal Union which the Treaty establishes, with all the implications of that for downgrading our present personal status as citizens of sovereign nation States and superseding it by citizenship of a supranational European Federation.
5. It creates a Union Parliament for the Union’s new citizens:
The Lisbon Treaty/EU Constitution makes Members of the European Parliament, who at present are “representatives of the peoples of the Member States”, into “representatives of the Union’s citizens” (Art.9a, amended TEU). This illustrates the constitutional shift the Treaty makes from the present European Union of national States and peoples to the new Federal Union of European citizens and their national states - the latter henceforth reduced constitutionally and politically to provincial or regional status.
6. It creates a Cabinet Government of the new Union:
The Treaty turns the European Council, the quarterly “summit” meetings of Member State Heads of State or Government, into an institution of the new Union, so that its acts and failures to act will, like all other Union institutions, be subject to legal review by the EU Court of Justice.
Legally speaking these summit meetings of the European Council will no longer be “intergovernmental” gatherings of Prime Ministers and Presidents outside supranational European structures. As part of the new EU´s institutional framework, they will instead be constitutionally required to “promote the Union’s values, advance its objectives, serve its interests” and “ensure the consistency, effectiveness and continuity of its policies and actions.” (Art. 9 amended TEU). They will also “define the general political direction and priorities thereof” (Art.9b).
The European Council thus becomes in effect the Cabinet Government of the new Federal EU, and its individual members will be primarily obliged to represent the Union to their Member States rather than their Member States to the Union.
7. It creates a new Union political President:
The federalist character of the European Council “summit” meetings in the proposed new Union structure is further underlined by the provision which gives the European Council a permanent political President for up to five years (two and a half years renewable once) (Art.9b).
There is no gathering of Heads of State or Government in any other international context which maintains the same chairman or president for several years while individual national prime ministers and prime ministers come and go.
The federal character of the new President is emphasised also by the Treaty provision which forbids that person from holding any national office and which lays down that he/she shall “ensure the external representation of the Union”.
8. It creates a civil rights code for the new Union’s citizens:
All States have codes setting out the rights of their citizens. The EU Charter of Fundamental Rights will be that. It will be made legally binding by the new Treaty and will be an essential part of the new Union’s constitutional structure (Art.6, amended TEU).
The Charter is stated to be binding on the Union’s own institutions and on Member States in implementing Union law. This limitation to EU law and to the EU institutions is unrealistic however, because
(a) the principles of primacy and uniformity of Union law mean that Member States will not only be bound by the Fundamental Rights Charter when implementing EU law, but also through the “interpretation and application of their national laws in conformity with Union laws” (v. ECJ judgements in the Factortame, Simmenthal and other law cases); and because
(b) the Charter sets out fundamental rights in areas in which the Union has currently no competence, e.g. outlawing the death penalty, asserting citizens’ rights in criminal proceedings and various other areas.
This gives a new and extensive human and civil rights jurisdiction to the EU Court of Justice and makes that Court the final body to decide what people’s rights are in the vast area covered by European law, as against national Supreme Courts and the Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg - the latter Court serving all other European States, not just the EU members - which are our final fundamental rights Courts today.
The EU Commission can be expected in time to propose European laws to ensure the uniform implementation and guarantee of the rights provisions of the Charter throughout the Member States, even in areas which are basically outside the scope of Union competence. American constitutional history provides ample evidence of the radical federalising potential of the fundamental rights jurisdiction of the US Supreme Court.
9. It makes national Parliaments subordinate to the new Union:
The Treaty underlines the subordinate role of National Parliaments in the constitutional structure of the new Union by stating that “National Parliaments shall contribute actively to the good functioning of the Union” by various means set out in Article 8c, amended TEU. The imperative “shall” implies an obligation on National Parliaments to further the interests of the new Union.
National Parliaments have in any case already lost most of their law-making powers to the EC/EU. The citizens who elect them have lost their powers to decide these laws too.
The provision of the Treaty that if one-third of the National Parliaments object to a Commission proposal, the Commission must reconsider it but not necessarily abandon it, is small compensation for the loss of democracy involved by the loss of 68 vetoes by National Parliaments as a result of other changes proposed by the Lisbon Treaty.
10. It gives the new Union self-empowerment powers:
These are shown by:
(a) the enlarged scope of the Flexibility Clause (Art.308 TEC/TFU), whereby if the Treaty does not provide the necessary powers to enable the new Union attain its very wide objectives, the Council may take appropriate measures by unanimity. The Lisbon Treaty extends this provision from the area of operation of the common market to all of the new Union’s policies directed at attaining its much wider objectives. The Flexibility Clause has been widely used to extend EU law-making over the years;
(b) the proposed “Simplified Treaty Revision Procedure” which permits the Prime Ministers and Presidents on the European Council to shift Union decision-taking from unanimity to qualified majority voting in the “Treaty on the Functioning of the Union” (Art.33.6, amended TEU), where the population size of certain Member States is likely to be decisive; and
(c) the several “ratchet-clauses” or “passerelles” which would allow the European Council to switch from unanimity to majority voting in certain specified areas such as judicial cooperation in civil matters (Art.69d.3.2), in criminal matters (Art.69f.2), in relation to the EU Public Prosecutor (69i.4), and in a number of other areas.
Conclusion:
It is hard to think of any major function of a State which the new European Union will not have once the Lisbon Treaty is ratified. The main one seems to be the power to make its Member States go to war against their will. The Treaty does provide that the EU may go to war while individual Member States may “constructively abstain”.
The obligation on the Union to “provide itself with the means necessary to attain its objectives and carry through its policies” (Art. TEC/TFU 269 a), which means raising its “own resources” to finance them, may be regarded as conferring on it wide taxation and revenue-raising powers, although these will require unanimity to exercise. Currently public expenditure and the tax measures needed to finance it remain overwhelmingly at national state level. This is because such social services as health, education, social security and public housing, as well as defence, policing and public transport - the government functions which cost most money - are still mainly at this level.
However the new European Union will have its own government, with a legislative, executive and judicial arm, its own political President, its own citizens and citizenship, its own human and civil rights code, its own currency, economic policy and revenue, its own international treaty-making powers, foreign policy, foreign minister, diplomatic corps and United Nations voice, its own crime and justice code and Public Prosecutor. It already possesses such normal State symbols as its own flag, anthem, motto and annual official holiday.
As regards the State authority of the new Union, it is embodied in the Union’ s own executive, legislative and judicial institutions: the European Council, Council of Ministers, Commission, Parliament and Court of Justice. It is also embodied in the Member States and their authorities as they implement and apply EU law and interpret and apply national law in conformity with Union law. Member States will be constitutionally required to do this under the Lisbon Treaty. Thus EU “State authorities” as represented for example by soldiers and policemen in EU uniforms on our streets are not needed as such.
Allowing for the special features of each case, all the classical Federal States which have been formed on the basis of power being surrendered by lower constituent states to a higher Federal authority have developed in a gradual way, just as has happened in the case of the European Union. Nineteenth century Germany, the USA, Canada and Australia are classical examples. Indeed the EU has accumulated its powers much more rapidly than some of these Federal States - in the short historical time-span of some sixty years.
The key difference between these classical Federations and the new European Union is that the former, once their people had settled, share a common language, history, culture and national solidarity that gave them a democratic basis and made their State authority popularly legitimate and acceptable. All stable States are founded on such communities where people speak a common language and mutually identify with one another as one people - a “We”. In the EU however there is no European people or “demos”, except statistically. The Lisbon Treaty is an attempt to construct a highly centralised European Federation artificially, from the top down, out of Europe’s many nations, peoples and States, without their free consent and knowledge.
If there were to be a European Federation that is democratic and acceptable, the minimum constitutional requirement for it would be that its laws would be initiated and approved by the directly elected representatives of the people either in the European Parliament or the National Parliaments. Unfortunately, neither the Lisbon Treaty nor the EU Constitution it establishes contain any such proposal.
By giving a Constitution indirectly rather than directly to the new European Union which it will establish, the Lisbon Treaty sets in place what Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt has called the “capstone of a European Federal State”. For the Euro-federalist political elites who have been driving this process over decades this is the culmination of what started nearly 60 years ago when the 1950 Schuman Declaration, which is commemorated annually on 9 May, Europe Day, proclaimed the European Coal and Steel Community to be the “first step in the federation of Europe”.
The peoples of Europe do not want this kind of highly centralized Federal European Union whose most striking feature is that it is run virtually entirely by committees of politicians, bureaucrats and judges, none of whom are directly elected by the people. The Constitutional Treaty setting it up has already been rejected by the French and the Dutch in 2005. As French President Nicolas Sarkozy has admitted, the Prime Ministers and Presidents have agreed among themselves on no account to have referendums on the Renamed Constitutional Treaty, for that would be rejected everywhere again.
Only the Irish are enabled to have their say on it because of the constitutional case taken before the Supreme Court by the late Raymond Crotty. That action by that great Irishman stopped the State’s politicians of that time from ratifying a previous European Treaty, the Single European Act, in an unconstitutional manner.
