Stop deceiving British people over EU treaty

The banks-induced turmoil in the money markets has expunged any further media reference to the Lisbon treaty, which the House of Commons treacherously approved recently.
This is the treaty that surrenders the last vestiges of British national sovereignty to the European Union. This is the treaty that the government mendaciously asserts is markedly different from the European Constitutional Treaty, upon which the Bri
tish people were promised a referendum.

It is instructional, therefore, to mark well the comments on the Lisbon treaty by the chief architect of the former constitutional treaty, Valery Giscard d'Estaing. He has affirmed that he has compared the text of the Lisbon treaty with the constitutional treaty and, to his surprise and great pleasure, the nine essential points of the constitutional treaty are repeated word for word in the Lisbon treaty. Not a comma has been changed.

Surely it is time for our government to stop deceiving the people, publish the basic text of the Lisbon treaty and, by referendum, allow the people of this former democracy to decide whether they will be governed by their elected representatives or by foreign, unelected and undismissible bureaucrats.

EWB,

If anyone read Bruno Waterfield's item on how the Irish government is trying to stifle debate on the Constitution by any other name masquerading as the Lisbon Treaty before the Irish vote in the only referendum in the EU on this treaty, they would notice that the political elites are set on creating a united, federal Europe regardless of what the people of Europe want. They know what's best for us and they regard the average man as too stupid to understand the contents of the Treaty.

Giscard condemned Chirac for allowing a summary of the former Constitution to be published. It was a widely read document, despite the euro-experts thinking that its contents would be too difficult for the average citizen of France and, by extention, Europe. Thus informed, a majority of French people rejected the Constitution.

Significantly, the Lisbon Treaty was not translated into English until late last autumn. Our masters in Brussels obviously didn't want our politicians to be informed, either. Which raises the question: how many of them read it or were guided by the Labour-dominated Select Committee, which had grave reservations about the ultimate destination of the Treaty: one Europe and a surrender of British sovereignty?

I wonder whether Gordon Brown realises that once Project Europa is in place, the UK will be forced to adopt the euro and have little control over its economy. Silly me! Gordon, that master of smoke and mirrors whose fictitious economic miracle is now being exposed, will be long gone by then.

Garbage.

The English text of the Lisbon Treaty was the first one available, and has been on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office site for months.

If anyone really cares that much, they can buy it from the Stationery Office too.

3# Independence in Europe? You're having a laugh?
Seccesion from the UK and immediately joining the EU, which will still include the UK, is NOT independence!

Interesting too that none of you sages quote the substantially longer (and better researched) House of Lords report, which actually found the Treaty far less troubling than the cursory look by the Commons Committee.

One last thing - if democracy is so important, why do people like MM Henderson NEVER reveal their political party affiliation?

A past as a UKIP candidiate certainly puts the letter in a new light...

Amanda....seccesion from the UK would mean that we would at least have a voice in the EU which incase with your blinkered Britnat eyes you haven't noticed we are already a member of but have absolutely no say in how it is run and yes we are all aware that it will be a small voice but none the less it will be a voice.

An excellent article with superb insights!

To this subject I would like recommend to consider the following:

1) "Lisbon Treaty explained by political science: an equivalent of coup d’état"
http://www.indymedia.ie/article/86544#comment225605

2) BBC: "We lose in Greed Game"
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/robertpeston/2008/03/we_lose_in_greed_game.html

3) "The elite bankers and European dynasties have been formulating a plan for a European superstate since the end of WW2"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWAybjoesJU

Further Mr. Peston's (BBC) research findings "We lose in Greed Game", we can arrive at the following conclusions:

1) The ultimate victims of the multi billion USD financial greed game are the actors of actual production: the added value-producing businesses, employees, households, bona fide investors, taxpayers, etc.
2) The winners of the super greed-game are the non-productive speculators, the collaborating banks and investors, and the collaborating political lobbies covering the losses by robbing the taxpayers.
3) Mr Peston (BBC) mentions that the main source of covering the losses of the banks and bona fide investors are the governments with "large pockets", like the US.
4) This financial greed game has driven the US into economic recession.

Based on the article "Lisbon Treaty explained by political science: an equivalent of coup d’état":
5) The Lisbon Treaty is a constitution laying down the foundations of a new federal state (EU), as one political unit, with equal potentials as the United States.

6) The elite bankers and European dynasties have been formulating a plan for a European superstate since the end of WW2

Conclusion from all of the above:

If the European political class would continue to join forces to build one federal political unit (the new legal entity "EU") with all the powers to control 27 states as one state, and with the capabilities of the ECB to perform the central bank's function ove

Conclusion from all of the above:

If the European political class would continue to join forces to build one federal political unit (the new legal entity "EU") with all the powers to control 27 states as one state, and with the capabilities of the ECB to perform the central bank's function over all of us, they would draw 500 million stakeholders under one government to feed the endless financial greed of these newly bred non-productive elites (financial/political lobbies).

The recent giant-scale financial speculation in the US that has transferred the funds out of production (causing recession) and filled the private pockets of hollow, non-productive financial speculations (causing inflation) would be repeated in Europe. These speculators destroying the US economy could get away with this scheme by covering the losses of the banks and investors by government intervention, which actually means victimizing the US taxpayers and small investors.

Now, under one federal European Union, as one huge country, the same scheme would continue at the expense of the EU taxpayers, which would push Europe into the same economical crisis as in the US.
As the BBC's program explained, the losses due to this multi-billion gain game have been covered by governments who could afford to do so. The new EU, as a new superstate, would be actually a paradise to cover the non-productive speculative financial greed games. At the end the pockets of these billionare speculators would be fed by the citizens of the EU through the political lobbies of the new EU country, who would cover these greed games with the money of the taxpayers and small investors of Europe, who actually produce the values these looters are getting super-rich from.

Once Europe would be federally united as planned under the Lisbon Treaty, the same scheme that has driven the US into recession, would drive all Europe, and probably the whole world into a total economic collapse. The sphe

(continued from above)

Once Europe would be federally united as planned under the Lisbon Treaty, the same scheme that has driven the US into recession, would drive all Europe, and probably the whole world into a total economic collapse. The sphere of production would drastically shrink,and the impoverishment, inflation plus recession (stagflation) would worsen at an increasing rate with every year.

The referred video explains that the idea of a united Europe was first been raised and pursued by elite bankers and European dynasties, and that the long term plan is to arrive at a united world under the rule of these dynasties, which is a fact that should seriously need to be connected to the issue of a federal constitution (Lisbon Treaty) that is being imposed on 27 countries by a giant deception.
