I am hard pushed to name a journalist, other than Mary Ellen Synon, Bruno Waterfield and Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, who regularly writes with any knowledge on matters EU. Discussing the 'Merkozy Stitch-up' of today, Mary Ellen Synon writes:
"What we saw today in Paris was an announcement by Merkozy that they intend to go ahead with their drive to destroy democracy across 17 European states. By agreeing to this -- and he will -- Mr Cameron will act as collaborator in establishing Germany and France as the fiscal commanders over these nations of Europe. Across Europe, one can only feel dread. In Britain, one ought to feel shame as well."
Mary Ellen Synon posted, following the EU Finance Ministers meeting a few days ago, about how national parliaments and their peoples are being 'managed' by what she terms the euro-elite and how opposition parties are blackmailed into agreeing to bail-outs. She ended:
"So the opposition parties are threatened or frighten into agreeing to back the Brussels deal: we will not oppose, we will cooperate, we will collaborate, we will stay silent, we will submit. And then the people of these nations will be left with no leaders other than the governments put in place by the euro-elite, will be told by both sides of their parliament to believe that there is only the one way, only the one programme, all to support the one country called Europe...and you may recognise what is happening now across the eurozone: 'The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact, there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinking -- not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconciousness.'"
According to the Guardian the EU 8 comprise: Lagarde; Merkel; Sarkozy; Mario Draghi, the new president of the ECB; José Manuel Barroso, the president of the European Commission; Jean-Claude Juncker, chairman of the Eurogroup; Herman van Rompuy, the president of the European Council; and Olli Rehn, Europe's economic and monetary affairs commissioner.
The pretence that governments had any power has been removed and placed in the hands of these 8 people and it means that the democratic clock has been turned back to when tyrannical rule was the norm. History shows us that when governments are but puppets of another regime and the peoples of those governments ignored, eventually the people rebel exacting retribution not only on their foreign masters but also on their own politicians who were bought.
One can but wonder how long it will be before history, as it always does, repeats itself?
for the video which follows, one featuring José Manuel Barroso.
Answering questions posed from around the world, the interesting bit about the UK and its membership of the EU comes at 18:57 minutes in. Responding to a question put by someone in Wales Barroso maintains that membership is a choice for the British people and that no-one forces Britain [to belong]. Later, in answer to another question Barroso states that national leaders should assume their responsibilities. He also maintains that in the years ahead the euro will be stronger and that everyone will want to join that currency.
Let us address those three points; yes the British people would just love the opportunity to decide whether we wish to belong to the EU, the only problem is the three mafia families that currently rule our nation will not grant that opportunity thus abrogating their responsibilities. The third point, that the euro will be stronger is what anyone would expect him to say although whether it will last much longer is open to doubt. At present it ain't doing that good, as this article shows when it reports that:
"The 440 billion-euro ($588 billion) European Financial Stability Facility has sold 13 billion euros of bonds and all are underperforming relative to alternative investments such as debt of Germany and France. Anyone who sold 1 million euros of German five-year bonds to buy the EFSF 2.75 percent, 5 billion- euro bond issue repayable in July 2016, lost 50,000 euros, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Switching into the EFSF bonds due in December 2016 would have cost a buyer more than 34,000 euros. "That's telling you that global investors are losing confidence in the whole EFSF apparatus," said Michael Riddell, a London-based fund manager at M&G Investments, which oversees about $323 billion of assets."
Whilst on the subject of the European Union, Mary Ellen Synon reports that the word around Brussels is that the euro-elite thought the EU was in line to win the Nobel Peace Prize as it seems that José Manuel Barroso, Herman Van Rompuy and the rest fancied the EU deserved the prize for keeping Europe at peace for 50 years - yup, it seems that old chestnut is being raised again - no doubt in their desperation to save the euro it won't be long before we will be told that all this money being hosed about in support of the euro is to ensure the peace lasts longer (if they haven't already).
Reverting to the video and JMB, I suppose the most blatant untruth is when he refers to the EU as being "democratic" and its member states as "free" - surely two things that most definitely are not true. It is interesting, is it not, that the most undemocratic states always attempt to envelop themselves in the cloak of democracy - the most obvious example being the United Kingdom!
