Polish leader pledges not to block EU treaty

Polish President Lech Kaczynski said he will not create "obstacles" to the ratification of the EU's new Lisbon treaty following a chat with French leader Nicolas Sarkozy in Paris. His u-turn comes despite previous suggestions that after rejection of the treaty in Ireland's referendum, it was "pointless" for the president to sign it.

Polish president softens tone on EU treaty

Polish President Lech Kaczynski on Tuesday toned down his rhetoric against the Lisbon treaty, with the French EU presidency also downplaying the mini-crisis and analysts saying Mr Kaczynski's stance is a bargaining tool for foreign policy concessions.

Polish president declines to sign EU treaty

The Polish president, Lech Kaczynski, has indicated he will not sign the Lisbon treaty until Ireland decides what to do about its No vote, dealing a strong blow to EU attempts to revive the pact. German ratification also went on hold Monday, pending a Constitutional Court decision expected early next year.

                                                THE LISBON TREATY
 
 
Introduction
 
 This Document is deadly.  It means Surrender, surrendering the independence of your country and surrendering your personal freedoms.  The European Union will become, "legally", a police-state Empire.
 
 Sections in this Report:
 
"Background Information" (describing what we already know, in historical fact, about the EU)
 
 "Lisbon Treaty Deceptions". 
 
"Anschluss-'Warsaw Pact' Clauses" (which allow the EU to use an Army to invade and occupy Member States of the EU); 
 
the "Militarisation" section (which. among other things, forces Member States to militarise);  
 
the section on "Further Centralisation of Power", abolishing many crucial Veto powers of the Member States;  and making the unelected, unaccountable European Commission a fully-empowered Dictatorship.
 
"Gestapo clauses", making the EU into a police state where no courts of law have jurisdiction over the Police, and there is no protection for personal freedoms or democratic processes.

 
"Final Provisions" (stating that the Treaty runs for an "unlimited period" --- That spells the end of Freedom in Europe) 
 
 
I  Background Information to the Treaty: 
 
In evaluating any Treaty (or Contract), it is elementary to evaluate first the Institution (or person) that offers you the Treaty to sign.  This is especially true in the case of the European Union where the EU and the Governments that support it do not want the Sovereign People to have a referendum. This alone is extremely suspicious, and tyrannical.
 
What is the moral and political Character of the European Union?
 
The EU is: 
 
(a) an undemocratic, dictatorial Empire in which real power lies in the corrupt, unelected, unaccountable (except to its corporate Masters) European Commission (one year, the entire Commission resigned because the corruption was so heavy and obvious).
 
(b)  the Parliament, always the governmental branch closest to the People and most democratic, is a virtually powerless talking shop -- a joke; 
 
(c) the power behind the EU (and European Commission) are corporate Cartels (especially the Chemical-Drug-Biotechnology Cartel, Banking Cartel, and American-British Oil Cartel.  Also important is the Military-Industrial Complex; all of the Cartels are closely related through interlocking stock ownership, directorates, and mutual interests)
    (The former Prime Minister of Britain, Harold Wilson, referred to the Treaty of Rome as "the Magna Carta of the Western European Multinationals".  Recently, the Labour MP Alan Simpson described the EU as the "handmaiden of Corporate interests".)
     (So powerful is the Corporate Cartel thrust to betray their individual countries to the EU Empire that not even Margaret Thatcher, prime minister of Britain for 11 years, could oppose it.  At the height of her long period of Conservative-rightwing corporate political leadership, the darling of Britain's corporate cartel Oligarchy, she gave an anti-EU speech in Bruges and was ousted from power in an internal Conservative Party coup.)
 
c)  Germany and its secret partner, the superpower United States (its giant corporations & the U.S. Government which is dominated by these Corporations), form a crucial Axis of Power in the EU.
   ((Note:   Contrary to popular misconception derived from subtle EU propaganda claiming that the EU is a counterweight to the United States,  the EU and USA are not opponents, but partners in a New fascistic World Order.  That's the reason the CIA spent a decade working for the establishment of the European Union, why Pres. George W. Bush offered PM Blair to come to England and campaign for the EU Constitution, why Bush welcomed EU expansion, the reason the EU aided the CIA 'renditions' of kidnapped persons, and why David Rockefeller (the most powerful Rockefeller since the death of Nelson Rockefeller) has been such a staunch proponent of the EU.  The EU and USA only differ over strategy and tactics, and the division of the spoils.))
 
(d) these corporate Cartels and German-American Axis hide themselves behind a faceless bureaucracy in Brussels
 
(e)  the European Union operates behind closed doors, with secret, hidden processes; there is little transparency (if any) in the operations of the dominant European Commission.
 
(f) And there is much to hide:  the EU has never passed an Audit (because of Corruption), and, a few years ago, the woman in charge of auditing was fired for refusing to pass the Audit; indeed, a journalist who exposed EU corrupt dealings was arrested by the police and his computer, etc., confiscated.
 
(g)  Major Policies of the EU include
---  Genetic Engineering (GM, GMOs) and the unconscionable, sacrilegious Patents on Life -- endangering food safety and threatening the livelihoods of Farmers everywhere in the world 
 
---  the diminishing of democratic institutions and personal freedoms, often in the false name of "counter-terrorism"; but when EU officials label environmental protestors (protesting against Corporate Policies) "terrorists" and "potential terrorists", you should understand what -- and who -- lies behind such slander.
 
---  the rights of the Member States have already been severely diminished by the EU.  In Britain, for example, the EU has issued over 100,000 directives and regulations to the British government, and 70% of British laws implement these EU Directives -- a terrible loss of Sovereignty;
 
--- Member States have already lost much control of their Economies, having lost their currency, and also are subject to the overriding power of the European Central Bank (in Frankfurt, Germany, headquarters of Europe's biggest bank, the Deutsche Bank). 
    These critical economic and financial losses were NOT democratically decided, but the result of secret, illicit deals between puppet-governments and the EU.
 
--- a variety of policies which favour giant corporations and discriminate against small- and medium-sized businesses;          
--- a variety of policies which assist the corporate Cartels to dominate and exploit the Third World, policies particularly harmful to hundreds of millions of small-family farmers; Note that many thousands of farmers in Europe lose their livelihoods every year.
 
--- increasing Militarisation, by the EU itself and by means of EU support for American military invasions;  Germany, one of the Axis Powers in the EU, has been re-militarising.                      
     German soldiers are now in the Balkans, Afghanistan, Sudan, Djibouti, Congo (a mineral-rich land where the EU has sent a military force) and Lebanon.  In the newspaper Independent (UK), 27 October 2006, we read: "German troops pose with skull and NATO forces kill 85 civilians in Afghanistan".  In the Independent of 25 October 2006, we read, "German ministers knew about CIA torture cells . .  . . . German Special Forces ((in Afghanistan)) assisted in interrogation", evidently involving torture.
 
--- the EU has rendered assistance to the American secret police in its kidnapping of people and sending them out for imprisonment (and torture) in secret places.
 
 This is what we know of the European Union to date.
 
Therefore, QUESTION:    Without looking at the Lisbon Treaty,  how would you evaluate the moral and political Character of the Institution that authors this Treaty, and wants YOU to be bound and obligated to obey it?
 
__________________________     
 
NOTE:  Giant Corporations & Cartels have two principal methods for dominating Governments and Societies:  (1) bribery of the political system, and (2) corporate mass media Thought Control.
    So these are the primary reasons that Governments in Europe have been willing to betray their country and countrymen to the EU Empire, and the primary reasons that the People have not effectively opposed this tyrannical and growing Empire.
   
(That is why we must create our own Grassroots Mass Media to educate and political activate (mobilise) the People.)     ***
 
 
II.  LISBON TREATY DECEPTIONS
 
The Lisbon Treaty is a Surrender document.  The authors of the Treaty have attempted to hide the dark, sinister character of this Treaty in a number of ways.
 
1.  The Treaty is NOT more democratic and freedom-loving than the previous Surrender Document called the "Constitution". (Words like "democracy", "freedom", "equality", "justice" are placed here-and-there in the Preamble and Provisions with no substance whatever to these glittering words.)   The Lisbon Treaty is essentially the same as the lethal Constitution, but even worse. 
 
2.  The menacing character of the text is obscured by having a long, long treaty (250 pages) that few people will carefully read.
 
3.  The Treaty amends previous treaties.  The Lisbon Treaty makes the task of understanding it unusually difficult by stating the amendment to Articles of the previous treaty, but not quoting the text that is being amended.
 
4.  Subtle phrasing has a cosmetic look or neutral sound, but a close look reveals the dark meaning.  For example, "The European Parliament shall be kept fully informed." -- this hides the fact that the Parliament has been made helpless, and may only be "informed".  
 
5.  EU-obligated Ministers have been signing the Treaty in the name of the People of the country, but working against the People actually having a voice by referendum.  Also, Member State spokesmen favouring the Lisbon Treaty have made hundreds of false public statements about the so-called 'progressive' nature of this repulsive, traitorous Treaty.
 
6.  "The Treaty at a Glance" prologue (only an introductory statement) to the Treaty says, "Withdrawal from the Union: the Treaty of Lisbon explicitly recognises for the first time the possibility for a Member State to withdraw from the Union."
     This is a boldfaced propaganda lie.  The text nowhere explicitly recognises, nowhere recognises even by inference, that a Member State may withdraw from the Union.  In fact, there are powerful provisions which starkly remind of the Warsaw Pact's invasion and occupation of Czechoslovakia. 
      This false statement is a lure, a 'come-on', and typical of the deceit practised by the European Union since its inception.
 
_________________________
 
III.  Anschluss--'Warsaw Pact' Clauses 
 
I mean the term Anschluss in its 1938 sense.  The European Union has been trying to accomplish what Nazi Germany in fact accomplished in 1938 --- destroying the independence of Austria, and putting an end to Austrian democracy and personal freedoms.
 
The Lisbon Treaty surrenders a nation-state to the European Union empire. 
 
(Note to German readers:  The page number of the English text that I quote is the same in the German text of the Treaty. Please turn to the German text of the Treaty.  Google search: Europa-EU vertrag von Lissabon )
 
1.  EU law is superior to Member State law.
 
 
Clause 236 (page 114), Article 249 C (1)      "Member States shall adopt all measures of national law necessary to implement legally binding Union acts."
 
The Member States must obey all EU Directives.
 
 
2.  Qualified Majority Voting.   The Lisbon Treaty, in many many  important areas, abolishes the Veto that Member States had.  Instead of requiring Unanimity, the EU extends Qualified Majority Voting (QMV).
 
This  means that little more than one-half of the votes of the European Council, constituting little more than 50% of the population of the EU,  need be obtained by the unelected, unaccountable, dictatorial European Commission in order to become law.
 
QMV extends, for example, to foreign affairs, security policy, armaments, criminal justice and the police, and immigration.
 
Moreover, Qualified Majority Voting now means that the smaller States, generally, lose about one-half their voting strength, while Germany, for instance, doubles its strength.
 
 
3.  SOLIDARITY Clause  ---  This is the 'Warsaw Pact' provision that legally allows the EU to do what the Soviet Union did to Czechoslovakia in 1968.  This is a key Anschluss clause.
 
Clause 176 (page 100), Article 188 R  1.  "The Union and its Member States shall act jointly in a spirit of solidarity if a Member State is the object of a terrorist attack or the victim of a natural or man-made disaster.  The Union shall mobilise all the instruments at its disposal, including the military resources made available by the Member States, to:
 
(a) ---  Prevent the terrorist threat in the territory of the Member States;
 
((so it need only be a "threat", and the EU, or friendly official in a Member State, will determine what is a "threat" and what is a "terrorist".  In Britain under the Civil Contingencies Act (New Labour's version of Hitler's Enabling Act) almost anything under the sun could constitute a "threat" that would allow the Government to declare an Emergency, shut down all democratic procedures and shut off all individual liberties.))
 
    ---  protect democratic institutions and the civilian population from a terrorist attack;
 
    ---  assist a Member State in its territory, at the request of its political authorities, in the event of a terrorist attack;
 
(b)   assist a Member State in its territory, at the request of its political authorities, in the event of a natural or man-made disaster.
 
((a flood might be a "natural disaster";  the demolition of a building might be a "man-made disaster"))
 
     2.  Should a Member State be the object of a natural or man-made disaster, the other member States shall assist it, at the request of its political authorities.
 
     3.  The arrangements for the implementation by the Union of the Solidarity Clause shall be defined by a decision adopted by the Council acting on a joint proposal by the ((unelected, unaccountable)) Commission and the ((unelected, unaccountable)) High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. . . . The European Parliament shall be informed  ((a bystander, as usual))."
 
In other words, the EU (i.e. the unelected, unaccountable, Cartel-dominated, dictatorial Commission), or an EU-owned politician in a Member State, will decide what constitutes a "terrorist threat", or a "natural disaster" or a "man-made disaster". (Any Government secret service can easily fabricate such an incident. Germany's Reichstag Fire and America's Tonkin Gulf pretence are among the many such historical examples of fabricated incidents.)  Then an EU Army can invade and occupy a Member State.
 
 
4.  Additional 'Warsaw Pact' provisions --- Article 49, Section 2, (c), number 7 (page 35), "Provisions On The Common Security and Defence Policy"
 
 "If a Member State is the victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other Member States shall have towards it an obligation of aid and assistance by all means in their power."
    "Armed aggression" could mean a type of violence (easily contrived by a secret service)  that gains the front-page of newspapers but has little real significance.  Or a Labour Strike or Environmental Protest Demonstration where some violence occurred.  This could justify an EU-directed army to invade that Member State...and occupy it.
 
 
5.  The Enabling Provision of the Common Security and Defence Policy / 'Warsaw Pact'
 
Number 5  of Clause 49, Section 2, (c) is a sweeping, carte blanche provision which can be employed to justify the use of EU military force whenever it wishes for whatever purpose.  It reads:
 
"The Council may entrust the execution of a task, within the Union framework, to a group of Member States in order to protect the Union's values and serve its interests.
 
 
 
6. "Territorial Cohesion"
 
Protocol 23 (p.192), entitled "Protocol on Economic, Social and Territorial Cohesion") states:  (a)  throughout the Protocol, the words 'economic and social cohesion' shall be replaced by 'economic, social and territorial cohesion'
 
The addition of "territorial" cohesion to the previous phrase reinforces the evil appearance of the Solidarity Clause and Common Security and Defence Policy.
 
____________________
 
 
IV.  Militarisation -- "Provisions on the Common Security and Defence Policy"
 
Clause 49, Section 2, Article 28 A, (a) 1 (page 34).   "The common security and defence policy shall be an integral part of the common foreign and security policy.  It shall provide the Union with an operational capacity drawing on civilian and military assets.  The Union may use them on missions outside the Union for peace-keeping, conflict prevention and strengthening international security in accordance with the principles of the United Nations Charter.  The performance of these tasks shall be undertaken using capabilities provided by the Member States";
    And Article 28 B 1 adds that "tasks . . . shall include . . . tasks of combat forces in crisis management, including peace-making and post-conflict stabilisation.  All these tasks may contribute to the fight against terrorism, including by supporting third countries in combating terrorism in their territories."
  
(c) 3.   Member States shall undertake progressively to improve their military capabilities.  The Agency in the field of defence capabililities development, research, acquisition and armaments (hereinafter referred to as "the European Defence Agency") shall identify operational requirements, shall promote measures to satisfy those requirements . . . .
 
(c) 5.  The Carte Blanche Enabling phrase -- "The Council may entrust the execution of a task, within the Union framework, to a group of Member States in order to protect the Union's values and serve its interests."
 
(c) 7.  (one of the 'Warsaw Pact' phrases)  "If a Member State is the victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other Member States shall have towards it an obligation of aid and assistance by all the means in their power. . . ."
 
 In other words, the Member States must increase their military capabilities under EU direction and leadership, providing the EU with "civilian and military assets" to intervene anywhere in the world -- including the territory of a Member State. 
 
 "Conflict prevention", "strengthening international security", "crisis management", "the fight against terrorism", and "protect the Union's values and serve its interests" could justify any kind of military intervention and aggression -- outside the European Union, or inside the EU. 
  
_____________________
 
 
V.  Imperialism --- The European Union has sent a military force to the Congo, siding with the Congo Army. The Congo sits on an immense oil basin and is rich in gold, diamonds, extremely rare industrial minerals such as berylium, nickel, tantalum, etc., not to mention vast agricultural resources.
     It is naive to think that the Corporate Cartel-dominated EU has any real objectives other than that enormous wealth of the Congo.
 
Clause 157, Article 188 B (a) "Common Commercial Policy". 
 
The Union shall contribute to "the progressive abolition of restrictions on international trade and on foreign direct investment, and the lowering of customs and other barriers".
 
This means that countries, especially Third World countries, cannot protect their economies and businesses, working classes, or environments against EU multinational corporations.  The EU's corporate Cartels demand the same carte blanche from foreign countries as the EU demands from its Member States.
 
Germany -- Never forget Germany's re-militarisation and traditional belligerence in foreign affairs, with 150 years of military aggression against its neighbours.   Germany is one of the two Axis Powers dominating the militarising European Union.  The corporations dominating Germany today are the same ones that enthusiastically supported German military policy in 1914 and 1938-45.
 
In short, War, not Peace, can be expected from the European Union.
 
_____________________
 
 
VI.   Tightening the Executive (European Commission) Dictatorship, even further Centralisation of Power 
 
Many provisions in the Lisbon Treaty further strengthen the unelected, unaccountable, corrupt & despotic European Commission, and weaken the already hapless, effete and ridiculous European Parliament.
(MEPs are allowed to speak for 90 seconds, then the EU chairman turns off their microphone.) (True - I've been there! Stan)
 
Qualified Majority Voting, eliminating many of the Member States' veto powers, is just one of them. The creation of an unelected, unaccountable (to the People or Parliament) President and Foreign Minister are others.
 
______________________
 
 
VII.   Gestapo clauses -- a European Police State
 
There are no protections for personal freedoms, civil rights, or democratic institutions in the Lisbon Treaty.  On the contrary,  the Police (and EU Executive) are above the law.
 
Clause 67  "Judicial Cooperation in Criminal Matters"
   Article 69 B, 1. (page 65)  "The European Parliament and the Council may, by means of directives adopted in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure  ((this simply means that, except in extraordinary circumstances, only the despotic European Commission can propose legislation)), establish minimum rules concerning the definition of criminal offences and sanctions in the areas of particularly serious crime with a cross-border dimension resulting from the nature or impact ((a carte blanche word)) of such offences or from a special need to combat them on a common basis." 
 
Since EU law is superior to the laws of the Member States, clause 67 gives the EU command of the important Criminal Justice matters in the Member States, both defining what is crime and what the punishment.   
 
The Article goes on to specify, among a number of items, "terrorism", the excuse for targeting protestors and political-economic
opposition (as the American corporate-political henchmen were accustomed to damning liberal opposition as "Communist"). 
 
Article 69 C:  "The European Parliament and the Council, acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure ((i.e. under the direction of the Commission)), may establish measures to promote and support the action of Member States in the field of crime prevention. . . ."  
 
Article 69 D:  "Eurojust's ((an EU agency to reinforce Europol)) mission shall be to support and strengthen coordination between national investigating and prosecuting authorities in relation to serious crime affecting two or more Member States or requiring a prosecution on common bases, on the basis of operations conducted and information supplied by the Member States' authorities and by Europol."
 
Clause 68, "Police Cooperation". Article 69 G, 1  "Europol's mission shall be to support and strengthen action by the Member States' police authorities and other law enforcement services and their mutual cooperation in preventing and combating serious crime affecting two or more Member States, terrorism and forms of crime which affect a common interest covered by a Union policy. ((in other words, practically anything))".
 
Thus the EU (e.g. via Europol, or even a military task force) can intervene in the field of operations.  Note in this regard that the European Arrest Warrant is already a fact, enabling the EU to snatch persons out of their country and subject them to rules different from those of his or her country. 
 
The Lisbon Treaty therefore authorises a sweeping control by the EU of a nation state's criminal law process.
 
 
Clause 223, Article 240a (page 110):  EU Executive's Immunity from Prosecution and Legal Redress, and the Immunity of the entire Police Apparatus
 
      "The Court of Justice of the European Union shall not have jurisdiction with respect to the provisions relating to the common foreign and security policy nor with respect to acts adopted on the basis of those provisions."
 
Article 240b:  "In exercising its powers regarding the provisions of Chapters 4 and 5 of Title IV of Part Three relating to the area of freedom, security and ((criminal)) justice, the Court of Justice of the European Union shall have no jurisdiction to review the validity or proportionality of operations carried out by the police or other law-enforcement services of a Member State or the exercise of the responsibilities incumbent upon Member States with regard to the maintenance of law and order and the safeguarding of internal security."
 
Thus the EU Executive and the entire police and security apparatus are immune from legal redress by means of EU institutions..  and since EU law is superior to the laws of the Member States, an innocent person or aggrieved party would have no recourse to their own national law.
 
In other words, a Gestapo (including secret police) and the (already virtually dictatorial) Executive Power behind it are above the Law.  Here is a clearly expressed legitimisation of police-state Tyranny.
 
 
Clause 211 (a) (page 107):   European Commission (page 105):  Special Courts (page 107)
Article 225a :  "The European Parliament and the Council, acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (((hence this has been placed in the "Commission" section)) may establish specialised courts . . . ."
 
Nothing specific is said about such "specialised courts".  But it gives another carte blanche to the EU to set up whatever types of courts they want.  One inevitably thinks of Military Tribunals dispensing summary 'justice'  (see Guantanamo).
 
___________________________
 
 
 VIII.  "Final Provisions".  Article 3.
 
"This Treaty is concluded for an unlimited period."
 
So, the lights go out -- forever.
 
 
P.S.  This Document reveals the dark, sinister mind and heart of the European Union and the corporate Cartels that use it as their tool. 
 
Even if the EU drops the Lisbon Treaty, as it did the very similar Constitution, They will continue with one trick after another until They acquire the police-state Empire They want.  If They obtain sufficient military resources before their political tricks work, then They may employ a Military Solution. 
 
The ONLY way to rescue ourselves is to educate and politically activate the General Public regarding the EU and the ONLY way to do that is by means of Grassroot Public Education Campaigning. (especially Door-to-Door and making major efforts in the Universities;  we recommend a basic A4 leaflet and shorter leaflets, Subject Matter info on Side-A, & "What Exactly We Can Do About It in a little Sparetime" on Side-B, a good graphic on both sides, and accompanied by a few verbal sentences telling recipients why you are handing out the information )
 
Here is the ONLY way to defeat the pro-EU influence of a corrupt political system and corporate mass media Thought Control. 

=========================================================================================================================

 

 

Get Britain out of the EU NOW

On 1st January 1973, Conservative British Prime Minister Edward Heath took Britain into the European Common Market. Heath reassured Parliament and the British people at the time that British sovereignty would not be affected and that we were just joining a trading partnership. His 1971 government White Paper stated the following:

"There is no question of Britain losing essential national sovereignty…. The British safeguards of habeus corpus and trial by jury will remain intact. So will the principle that a man is innocent until he has been proved guilty."

Subsequent papers came to light which unequivocally showed that Edward Heath recognised at the time the full implications of what he was doing. Years later, in a BBC interview in 1998, Heath admitted that he had known all along that Britain was signing up to a federal Europe.

Through further amendments to the Treaty of Rome, the original Common Market has gradually been changed into the European Union of today. The British people have never given their consent, nor have properly understood the implications of the European Union. Most are too bored with politics to find out.

The reason successive British governments have been the only national administrations deliberately to lie and mislead their electorate over Europe is because they knew the British people would be horrified and would not tolerate the destruction and loss of control of their own country.

A German European Economic Community?

In 1942, during World War 2, a group of German economists met at a well attended conference in Berlin to discuss a new concept of European political integration controlled by the Nazis. The conference was entitled 'The European Economic Community'. Later in 1944, once Germany recognised that defeat was inevitable, amazingly the Nazi push for European political integration continued. The chief question being asked in Berlin was: "How can Germany dominate the peace when she loses the war?"

The Treaty of Rome which birthed the EU was signed in 1957. Several of the original architects were ex-Nazis. The Treaty and its subsequent amendments bear a striking resemblance to the earlier Nazi plans for the federalisation of Europe, the destruction of Britain, and the domination by Germany of the new monolithic European superstate.

WHY THE EU MUST DISMANTLE BRITAIN

Germany and France geopolitically find it hard to secure their borders. Their alternative is to seek buffer zones around their nations, or, more effectively, control the continent of Europe altogether. Britain, on the other hand, is an island and easily defended.

Britain was the first truly global, maritime power. Today, as before, the majority of her trade is GLOBAL, chiefly with her erstwhile colonial and Commonwealth partners, NOT WITH EUROPE, whose economies are PROVINCIAL and currently stagnant and contracting.

Europe has historically resented what it sees as Britain's 'destabilising influence' on continental economies because of her massive strength. It galls jealous European nations that Britain has traditionally been powerful enough to call the shots. Wars in the past, such as the Napoleonic, WW1 and WW2, have been started by European powers in order to secure their future economic and political stability. These measures ultimately failed. Today, the tactics have changed.

Europe recognises that if Britain were subdued and broken up, a greater proportion of the UK's coveted world trade, including her prodigious art market, massive financial/pensions sector, hi-tech industries, and her oil and fish resources could be controlled for the first time by the dominant continental powers.

Europe also bitterly resents Britain's allegiance with the United States, with whom Britain has always enjoyed huge trade, security and strategic interests.


DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

The European Union is planning a new European army which will be capable of 'autonomous action'. This new European army will threaten the balance and stability NATO has given to the Continent and hand over military jurisdiction in Europe once again to the two nations who have historically abused it and gone to war for their own economic interests.

The new European federal police force, Europol, has been given powers to operate anywhere within the Eurozone, including Britain. Its officers and agents have been granted a blanket, life-time immunity from prosecution for all of their acts and deeds performed under Article 12, Chapter 5 of the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the EU.

Europol officers have been granted the prevailing power of summary arrest and extradition, in spite of current British laws, which specifically prohibit such actions. Under the power of international treaty, British law is superseded by European law.

Europol's headquarters, housing 300-400 officers at present, is quartered in the fortified old Gestapo headquarters building in The Hague. Plans are well underway to expand this force to many thousands more, all to be armed and granted unfettered access to all regions of the EU. Europol has been run by a former German police officer, Jorgen Storbeck, since its inception in 1994 as a drugs unit.

France has twice had to suffer the embarrassment of Britain and her allies baling her out of trouble in two previous world wars, which cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of British, Commonwealth and American troops. After both wars, the Allies withdrew and allowed France to regain her sovereignty. Today, French and German politicians scorn Britain and America, and seem willing to jeopardise the balance and stability of Europe by sanctioning the pan-European re-arming of the Continent, with a newly unified Germany as the most dominant power….

For the third time in a century.

Supporters of today's European Union claim that an integrated Europe will prevent future war. Yet true democracies do not provoke war, whereas forced or premature conglomerations of disparate nations have a proven history of causing turmoil and bloodshed (e.g. the Roman Empire, the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and much of Africa).

"The European parliament and the commission are allies against the member states. Together we have to prevent the member states from taking back power." President of the European parliament, speaking on BBC Radio 4, July 1999

"When we build the house of Europe, the future will belong to Germany." Helmut Kohl, speaking in Germany, unaware that reporters were present.

"Germany, as the biggest and most powerful economic member state will be the leader [of Europe] whether you like it or not." Theo Waigel, former German finance minister, 1997

"The top priority is to turn the EU into a single political state." Joshka Fischer, German foreign minister, quoted in The Times, November 1998

"Why does Europe need fifteen foreign ministers when one is enough? Why do member states still need national armies? One European army is enough." Hans Eichel, German finance minister, November 1999

"Never again must there be a destabilising vacuum of power in central Europe. If European integration were not to progress, Germany might be called upon, or tempted by its own security constraints, to try to effect the stabilisation on its own and in the traditional way." German CDU parliamentary committee on European affairs, September 1994

(Oct 2004 CKA Forum) - To supporters of Britain in the EU -
please read below and
see if you are willing to pay it

* Britain's EU membership between 1972 and 1997 has cost you, the British taxpayer, a breathtaking £235 BILLION. Our yearly gross contribution currently is £11 billion, or approximately £1.25 million EACH HOUR.

* The EU has been unable to have its own accounts certified by the Court of Auditors for EIGHT YEARS RUNNING, because of irregularities and fraud.

* The EU doesn't even use double-entry book-keeping, the accountancy standard since the 14th century. The system employed by the EU is cash-based, and extremely open to abuse.

* Most British people have a deep suspicion of the EU, but know next to nothing about how it works, how it affects them now or in the future.

* Polls show that the majority of the British people are fed up with the constant evidence of our country being manipulated and invaded at will by this European 'government of occupation'. A Mori poll, for instance, indicates that 60% of the British people would vote to leave the European Union if Britain were compelled to give up the pound in order to remain in the EU.

* It is estimated that joining the euro would cost Britain a minimum of a massive £36 BILLION (£631 for every man, woman and child in the country) and cause immediate price and tax hikes, just as EMU has done on the Continent.

* Joining the euro would entail handing over to Brussels the remainder of the UK's gold and currency reserves, all rights to her oil reserves, the power to set interest rates and, ultimately, the power to raise taxes. The British parliament today can do absolutely nothing to stop unelected Euro commissioners making decisions which will damage or threaten to destroy our economy. Joining the euro would be irreversible, short of a war of secession.

* It is by no means certain that the British will ever be given a chance to vote on joining the euro.

* Did you know that European and international legislation is proposing to:

Ban over 300 natural ingredients from free sale;
Restrict the dosage level of 'approved' nutrients to levels that will render them ineffective;
Ban herbal remedies for no other reason than that they don't have a 30 year history of use;
Ban any statements about the effectiveness of nutrients in dealing with disease;
Give governments the right to re-classify safe and effective natural remedies as medicines - at will.

* The EU has introduced state powers, under Article 191 of the Nice Treaty, which are designed to ban political parties of which it disapproves, or which oppose the EU.

* The EU has passed laws against 'racism' and 'xenophobia', which are so arbitrary, they could be applied to any individual, group or party which disapproves of the EU.

* The EU can suspend voting rights to 'punish' any member state not conforming to EU orthodoxy. Meanwhile, the beleaguered member state is still required to pay its EU dues as if it were a full voting member. This is 'taxation without representation', the very reason the American colonies seceded from Britain and went to war for their independence in 1776.

* The EU's inept Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) has been responsible for destroying the British fishing industry, and giving our fishing rights to others. The effects of its abysmal Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) have spelled death to British farming, while at the same time enriching European farmers, especially the French, for whose benefit the CAP was originally introduced.

* The EU is abolishing trial by jury and the presumption of innocence under the justice system being introduced in Britain. Once the new system is in place, an indicted individual will have his case heard by a professional tribunal and be required to prove his innocence against the combined machinery of the state.

* The European Court of Justice is removing the 'double jeopardy' safeguard. For centuries, British law has held that if a person is found not guilty of committing a crime, they cannot be tried again for the same offence. Henceforth, under corpus juris law, the state has granted itself the 'right' to come back at an individual time and again with the same charge, using all its considerable 'legal' apparati, until it secures the required conviction. Jack Straw, the British Home Secretary, has already given prosecutors the right to appeal against a not-guilty verdict.

* Under new legislation, actions pursued by those who disagree with the EU can be labelled seditious, treasonous and even blasphemous.


Consider whether the following nation would be able to make it on its own!

* Britain is a nation of 60 million people.

* She is the fourth largest economy in the world by Gross Domestic Product.

* She owns the largest financial trading centre in the world, centred in London. There are more US banks in London than in New York, more German banks than in Frankfurt and our capital handles more euro transactions than the whole of the European Union COMBINED.

* In spite of the UK's known reluctance to join the euro, by mid-2000 Britain was receiving record foreign investments, becoming Europe's most popular investment location by a staggering margin.

* Neither the UK's membership of the EU, nor the potential to participate in the 'single EU market' has featured in the top ten reasons for foreign investors deciding to place their money in Britain.

* Unemployment across the Eurozone is a staggering 18 million. No increase in jobs has been achieved in the past 20 years. Yet Britain has created 2.3 million jobs during that same period.

* 80% of new technologies, discoveries and major inventions over the past 250 years have been pioneered by British scientists and engineers.

* We have the only oil industry in the EU. We have a world-class financial services sector with huge pensions assets, while Europe has a combined pensions liability totalling $1.2 trillion which has no underpinning assets to cover it.

* Britain has a massive tourism market based on its unique blend of tradition, monarchy, history and craftsmanship.

* Britons have been at the forefront of developing and taking advantage of the massive boom in Internet sector technologies to boost our global trade.

* English is the language of the Internet.

* English is the most widely used language across the world and is used in business globally. English is virtually a compulsory second language for everyone on the face of the Earth.

* Britain has strong links with America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, much of Asia and South America. Almost all European nations do not.

* Britain is the EU's best customer, creating 5 million European jobs. If Britain were to pull out of the EU and negotiate a proper free trade agreement (no tariffs applied), the EU simply couldn't afford to upset or close the door on its best customer, given the Union's shaky financial state of affairs. Europe would still earnestly want to trade with us, and we with them.

* Most importantly, once Britain is free of the EU, the huge amount of cash we give to Brussels can now be put to work in improving conditions and infrastructure in our own country.
