We're cousins, born of the same gene that won't give up and refuses to lie down to unelected authority.
It's tough here in England; the country is being broken up into Regions of the European Union. England has no government, no Parliament and Great Britain itself is struggling with overwhelmed taxpayer-funded resources (eg the NHS, the Police Force/Service). In short, this country is about to discover that we've been fucked, royally, many times over.
The European Union and successive governments (Labour/Conservative) have done this, stealthily (aka lied in their manifestos), over many years. When people actually realise what's happened it won't be pretty.
Our children's education has been shot to pieces because it's been infiltrated by people who think equality is the be all and end all and our country's history has been re-written.
In your own fight for freedom of expression and freedom of association, don't forget us and don't believe what you read in the msm. We haven't forgotten you - we really are stronger together. The expression 'Divided we fall' was never more true.
God bless America and good luck with Obama - same stable, same donkey - because you need it too.
What's more, they know we know that they know we know. That's why everything is in such a hurried mess. Still with me? Good.
The European Union was always meant to be a superstate; the world was always meant to be divided up along geographical lines - the men left standing would be the rulers. It's just a game of chess based on the old colonial patterns: divide and conquer, a bit of subversion here and a little more there with a few sweeties thrown in.
As predicted by many people, ever since the Lisbon Treaty was ratified by the twenty-seven member states of the EU, things have rocketed along; new competences have been claimed and sovereignties seceded.
What's happening in America isn't happening in isolation; Agenda 21 and the climate change ecomentalists don't just lobby in your country - the b@st@rds are everywhere. Our own political class in the UK is riddled with them and since they're in situ for life, our own elected MPs have very little say in policy. They can try to change things but usually meet a brick wall, head-on. It isn't beyond the wit of our Civil Service to engineer the downfall of an MP who goes against the accepted direction. I suspect it's the same for you.
The big problem is that there's a gulf between the electorate and the elected. Once they're in office (though they prefer the term 'power') most of them are absorbed by the unelected Borg, the relentless machine of global governance. If we're serious about changing what currently passes for democracy, we have a big fight on our hands. Not only do we fight between ourselves (left/right; republican/democrat) but our politicians fight against civil servants. We need to choose our ground carefully and not be rail-roaded by the msm or political rhetoric.
It goes against the grain, I know, but I believe that many of those protesters camping out around the world do speak for us: they rail against the banks, the bonuses, the taxpayer-funding, the cuts in services, the homeless, the jobless. My question is: Who do we fight first? The government, or those with a different opinion to us? Check out The Frankfurt School if you haven't already done so. As you complain about Obama appropriating Executive orders to himself so do we in England worry about our 1689 Bill of Rights and our Magna Carta being undermined and re-written surreptitiously.
In the meantime, Italy is following Greece down the pan and unelected europhile technocrats are being parachuted in by the EU to act as Prime Ministers in European countries with a view to overseeing economic competence. A silent coup is taking place but, despite the protests, the people still haven't realised what it really means.
I'm glad that the euro is under a concerted attack by the markets, and I'm not naive - I know that we will all experience a great deal of pain if economies collapse. I don't mind suffering pain for something worthwhile but global governance isn't on my list. It's about time the people saw the rabbit:
My thanks to Sig94 for letting me post this after I've been absent for so long.
Thank you to Nickie for inviting me to be a part of this new development in the US/UK 'special relationship' and for the welcome. I'm afraid this first one is rather longer than usual but I hope you'll soon become used to my English tone and English humour. I also swear occasionally but given we're talking politics that's hardly surprising. Here goes.
I've got such a backlog of bookmarks for What has Europe done for us? (WHEDFU) that it puts me to shame. I'm going to bring things up-to-date and do this in two parts - right here, right now! - so you can't say I haven't warned you.
Let's begin with the unelected friend to everyone and no-one, Cathy Ashton. It's been argued that Cameron should put forward a stronger replacement because she's such a pathetic waste of space but I doubt that would help - it would only prompt accusations of the UK strengthening ties. At least she's so ineffective she's not actively doing any harm.. Ashton avoids the word 'Christian' in EU communique condemning treatment of Christians in Egypt & Iraq
I'm including the next link because just a few days ago I spotted a headline in the British press in which Miliband & the Labour Party accused the coalition of exactly the same thing without a reference to Europe or the European Union. Anders: EU faces jobless recovery
I didn't realise that the EU was the driving force that brought down the Berlin Wall and put an end to communism in Eastern Europe. I bet you didn't, either! I despise the way these unelected, unaccountable megolomaniacs re-write history with a word here, a phrase there. Van Rompuy: The EU is the Fatherland of Peace
Another europrat with delusions of grandeur is EP President Jerzy Buzek. He's been arguing for increasing the EU's budget and against cutting back some departments. They're all working very hard behind the scenes to come up with a workable plan for direct EU taxation. He says there is a lack of communication between the EU and the people but blames that on the media although I'm sure he's thrilled by the efforts of the BBC. "...we need a good messenger to deliver it and that rests in your hands. The cost of non-Europe is far greater than the cost of Europe."
Liberals - the most mis-named political party anywhere, ever - hold the balance of power in the European Parliament (EP). Not too different from Westminster then and we can all see what's happening there. "Indeed, in roll-call votes it would be political suicide for MEPs who harbour hopes of building a career in the Parliament and holding key positions in committees to rebel against the group whip, explained Trzaskowski, who is vice-chair of the EU assembly's constitutional affairs committee."
When a ceiling collapsed at Strasbourg in 2008 all the poor pen-pushers had to stay in Brussels rather than do the usual commute (mentioned above by Buzek). Having only one seat for Parliament saved the EU taxpayer £2m in travel and accommodation costs.
Same old, same old. With the EU everything it touches turns to function creep and now there are legal problems with the European Securities and Markets Authority. Role of EU Supervisor exceeds EU powers.
EU tells Albania to sort out its own riots. Albania is a prospective member state of the EU - can't wait for all those visas and work permits to be issued though judging by the sounds on my High Street a good proportion of them are already here.
I don't have a problem with this one - foreign criminals should all be deported. The only problems arise when it's British nationals who are arrested for minor offences, eg traffic violations, and then extradited to, eg, Greek hell-holes.The European Arrest Warrant was meant to target terrorists
International air travellers are facing US type data collection - plans are being debated this Wednesday (9th). Britain is at the forefront of the proposals."Under the proposal, all passengers flying for instance from Brussels to Istanbul will have their "Passenger Name Record" (PNR) data – including home address, mobile phone number, credit card information and email address – checked by a special unit of the Belgian police. Any suspected links with terrorism or serious crime – such as drug trafficking or people smuggling – will be shared with other member states and the suspects may be prevented from flying or even arrested."
And I think that's just about enough for one session. I'm going for a cup of tea to steady my nerve for the next bout. I hardly seem to have made a dent in the bookmarks so it could run to three* - but I need to keep a record of what they're up to so it must be done. I have to write it, but you don't have to read it :-)
* I won't clutter up Nickie's blog with them but you can catch them at Calling England if you're interested.
