In this address of M. Jean Monnet at the National Press Club Washington, D.C. April 30th 1952 He clearly sets out the ideas and ideals of the European movement referring to a federated Europe.

“I shall attempt to describe to you briefly the principle milestones of the road along which we are now moving and the goal that we hope to achieve for Europe”.

“The European Coal and Steel Community will create the beginning of a community of federal structure, governed by a set of common institutions, applying common rules, granting common rights, and imposing common duties.”

“The institutions created by the two Plans will make a breach in the citadel of national sovereignty which bars the way to European unity and which the familiar arrangements for international cooperation have so far left untouched”

The two plans were for political union and economic union however France put paid to the idea of political union in the 1950`s so he then came up with the Monnet method which would achive the same aims but by the back door.

“The establishment of common institutions and common rules, merging national sovereignties, will unite the people of Europe under a single system of laws and remove the basic causes of conflict. In the new European Community such problems as that of the Saar will not simply become soluble, but will cease to exist as grounds for international rivalry, because the premises on which the problems were based will be obsolete.

” It is of universal importance that Europe should be self-reliant, secure, peaceful, and capable of continuing to make her great contribution to civilization. The way to all of these objectives is through unification.”

”A federated Europe is essential for the security and peace of the free world. So long as Europe remains fragmented, it will remain weak and will be a constant source of conflict-which, in the modern age, cannot but involve the whole world”.

”Through unification Europe will achieve that improvement in the development of her resources which should in due course enable her to meet the needs of her people and to do her part in the common defense without having to rely on the continuance of your contributions”.

”A unified Europe has a meaning for civilisation that is deeper even than security and peace. Europe was the source of the cultural achievements from which we all benefit, and Europeans are now, as they have always been, capable of enriching the world by the creative effort that has been Europe’s historic contribution. Yet, to release the full strength of this effort, we must bring our institutions and our economies into harmony with out modern times. To achieve this is the promise that unification holds. ”

“As we press forward together toward the unification of Europe, we shall strive to facilitate the peaceful union of the people of the East and West Germany. As it is essential to wipe out the boundaries between the nations of Europe, so it is important by peaceful means to wipe out the boundary which today, by keeping West Germans and East Germans apart, fosters an irredentism that can do no good to the Germans, to Europe, or to the world”.

“We are determined to act. We are determined to unify Europe and to unify it quickly. With the Schuman Plan and the European Army we have laid the foundations on which we shall build the United States of Europe-free, strong, peaceful and prosperous”.

Of course there are those who will try to argue that this dream has long since been given up, I can only say to them that they should read the treaties and then tell me where in those documents that the a united federal Europe, is no longer the aim or the direction of those in involved in the building of the Monnet`s United-States-of-Europe

A good post from Tim Worstall on the elimination of Habeus Corpus
Tim Worstall: Good News, Bad News.

Our Tone, Dear Leader and Prime Minister, actually believes that? That nothing, nothing, must stand in the way of protecting the nation’s security? If he thought for even one moment he would see that is a nonsense. Why are we all debating this in the first place? Because they are reacting to a court judgement. If nothing should stand in the way they would flip two fingers to the judges and keep them in Belmarsh.
What is more worrying than a PM incapable of joined up thinking is what is implicit in the thought expressed, that in a democratic and free society, whether multi-culti, libertarian, socialist, authoritarian or whatever (and not all of those are mutually exclusive) we would ever put any one single goal above all others. The whole thing is a delicate balancing act between different goals. Yes, govts. need tax money but that has to be balanced against the disincentives that raising it create. Yes, we need people with guns to defend us but we make damn sure they don’t take the reins of power. Yes, children need to be protected from those that prey upon them but we do not lock up every child until they are 18 to ensure that. Balance in all things. (Sorry to start sounding slightly Bhuddist here.)

“Euro grants reach £1bn in Wales”
European aid designed to improve the economies of the poorest parts of Wales has reached the milestone figure of £1bn.

But Economic Development Minister Andrew Davies has also pointed to 44,000 jobs he says have been safeguarded by the funding.

Typically of course the BBC does not mention that this is our money in the first place and the good old EU has only given some of it back with EU bells and equal government funding attached each one pound we receive really costs us three so we could spend twice as much ourselves and still be better of. This is one area that Gordon Brown wishes to reclaim from the EU, but as it is used to promote the EU, I do not see that happening this side of a revolution.

“Writing in the Financial Times, Mandelson said the revised economic reform programme unveiled by commission president Jose Manuel Barroso would mean greater market liberalisation, efficiency, innovation and productivity as well as the removal of obstacles to higher employment

‘This will help shift the focus of public opinion in member states back to Europe — to see Europe as a source of dynamism and hope, not of encumbrance and unnecessary interference,’ he said

He would say that wouldn’t he that is what he paid for by the EU.

It does get up my nose when these Europhiles want to us to ignore all the shenanigans they have got up to that got us into this position, as if they were meaningless, and just decide to go deeper into the bog they have created.

It also said there would be sufficient awareness of the issues to avoid any need for an explanatory introduction on the ballot paper.

EUrophobe

The phrase “nail on the head” comes to mind
I’ve poached this from a forum on which I post occasionally. The author Frederick Forsyth received a surprise letter from the East of England Development Agency (EEDA) inviting him to become an ‘East of England Ambassador’. Read EEDA’s letter below and Mr Forsyth’s response in which he turns down such a gilt-edged opportunity. His response is superb, and sums up the EU to perfection.

Copy of original letter fromEUrophobe but here is the reply
Dear Mr Caruth

For some ten years, since I became fascinated by the sheer duplicity and mendacity of the Europe Project I have studied it with some intensity and no little research. I presume you are in the same position, so we need not fool each other.

We both know that, for the Europe of (say) 2010 (your own choice) there are only two viable visions. One is what we thought, back in 1972, we were being inducted into until we learned we had been comprehensively lied to. This was the Europe De Gaulle had referred to as ‘Une Union des Patries.’ Brits have always translated this as ‘A Europe of Nations’. It is what the Conservative Party has always claimed to support and what New Labour also pretends to seek, though once again it is lying.

Basically, a confederation of self-governing and sovereign nation-states who have chose by free volition to cooperate towards a goal of enhanced mutual prosperity by the creation of a huge Free Market. That vision was effectively terminated by euthanasia in the Maastricht Treaty, though fools and liars continue to employ the phrase.

The other vision can best be described in the title of a recent pamphlet from the Comite des Regions in Brussels: ‘A Europe of Cities and Regions in an Integrated Continent.’ This is a Europe where so-often pooh-poohed words like ‘ever closer union’, ‘complete political integration’ and United States of Europe, have become literal realities. That clearly is the vision to which you and yours aspire with self-denying fanaticism.

But like all Euro-integrationists, you are being less than frank with the public. Behind the Utopian propaganda lie several less happy truths. The creation of the USE and the continuation of the nation-state are quite simply mutually incompatible. The creation of the USE must mean the End-of-Nation, now at last being openly mentioned in print, though a long-held dream of the Post-Modernists.

Now I happen to be one of the (approx) ninety per cent of the citizens of the UK who regard this country with love, affection and loyalty. I find the end-of-nation, with its concomitant partner end-of-democracy anathema. So I look carefully at how this nightmare might be achieved.

Clearly not by free vote, by fair referendum. Therefore, as ever, by deception, mendacity, dissimulation and fraud. But via which vehicles? One is clearly the abrogation and abolition of the national currency. There has never been a single example in history of a nation abolishing its currency to adopt the currency of a larger neighbouring unit which was still a self-governing country ten years later.

Second, there is abolition of the national constitution, or its supercession by another alien constitution. Parliamentary democracy is the only known governmental system which requires as an absolute need the consent of the governed. All other systems are variants of dictatorship. What Giscard d’Estaing has prepared (and Gisela Stuart MP recently confirmed this in her brilliant Fabian Society pamphlet) is a blueprint for oligarchy, warmly supported by all the oligarths of Europe and the UK. That is why Tony Blair dare not permit the people to speak.

The third way of terminating the nation-state is break-up. That is your chosen road. If you can break provincial England into eight parts, an unavoidable development must then be the abolition of District, Shire, and Borough as units of real local government. That is a given, even admitted by Prescott in an unguarded moment.

The second unavoidable consequence must be the reduction to irrelevance of the national government and its Parliament at Westminster. But there must be two levels of government, for the Region cannot be a nation-state on its own. It must defer to something bigger than itself. That ’something’ if not Westminster, Crown in Parliament, can only be the Federal Government of the USE in Brussels. QED.

So when you say to me: ‘By 2010 the East of England region aims to be one of the top regions in Europe,’ you should, if you were to be scrupulously honest, phrase it thus: ‘By 2010, following the abolition of this and other outdated nation-states, and in a New Europe of devolved regional territories, the East of England region….’ etc.

Your problem is not me but Abraham Lincoln. ‘You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time. But you can’t fool all the people all of the time.’ Regionalism, behind its mask of local democracy, enhanced prosperity for all, but in truth standing for millions more unaccountable gravy-slurping jobsworths, has got to fool enough of the people enough of the time; i.e. until the referendum, which will be as rigged as Prescott and Blair can fix it.

But you run into a group of people far more numerous than yourself, just as committed to the retention of England as you are to its disappearance, just as smart and just as moneyed. Before the fight is over you and yours will have learned the hard way that this old country of ours is not yet prepared to be led into the knacker’s yard.

So, Mr Caruth, until Philippi, ave atque vale.

The Road to Euro Serfdom: ”

Mark Leonard, the CER’s director of foreign policy has these things to say about the power of the EU.

The British House of Commons, British law courts, and British civil servants are still here, but they have all become agents of the European Union implementing European law.”

Bingo!! Finally I have seen the real truth, spoken by a supporter of the EU project. Our institutions have become agents for the EU. You cannot have it saidf stronger than that.

Thanks to the Centre for European Reform, I got a little insight into the power freaks that want to control our lives. I will keep a closer eye on them.
