Why a European Super State Must Be Resisted
By Julian Rose
The European Union is a centralised super state trading
block whose conceptual origins lie in the Third Reich of Hitler’s Nazi Germany.
The concept of ‘global trading blocks’ was already well established
under Hitler’s regime, but their origins go back further: to the British Royal
Society. Post British Empire colonial ambitions were hatched around the desire
to form a number of global trading empires whose leadership would be
essentially elitist and corporate, with banks mostly at the helm.
Here lies the origin of the ‘free trade’ concept. A trading
pattern which is anything but ‘free’ due to the fact that it is designed to
prevent any one country stopping any other country from resisting the import of
products that it has no need or no wish for: I.E GMO maize and soya, beef
raised using growth hormones or sweat shop mass produced cheap goods that
undermine the ability of the blocking country to fairly trade its own quality
home-made items.
Free Trade is controlled by the World Trade Organisation,
another autocratic top down institution the majority of whose board is composed
of the CEO’s of the World’s largest multinational and transnational
corporations with a sole interest in profit and power. A hallmark of the neo
conservative and neo liberal capitalist dream (nightmare) which is dying a
painful death even as I write.
Greens, including the political faction which unwittingly or
unthinkingly (or both) keeps one foot firmly inside the door of such regimes,
seem oblivious to the forces that drive the corporate agenda ruling planet
Earth. Maybe because their campaigning arm is obsessed with finding ways to
promote the utterly meaningless multi-purpose catch-all ‘sustainable
development’, or arguing about the effects of ‘climate change’ or naively
encouraging the ‘Agenda 21’ countryside depopulation propaganda exercise.
It simply doesn’t seem to matter to most international
environmental organisations. That might be because such organisations have already
been living out of the pocket of the corporate purse for at least two or three
decades. They probably learned that catch phrase “don’t bite the hand that
feeds you” and agreed that winning the war against global destruction is best
done by cozying-up to the very forces that are complicit in the destruction
process. This can be easily achieved by offering a little green spin as fair
exchange for being bankrolled into embellishing otherwise insufferable
corporate agendas.
Supposedly ‘aware’ consumers are no better:
“A Big Mac and a Starbucks fair-trade coffee, please. Oh,
and add a dash of ultra heat treated, homogenised organic milk will you?”
I wonder if any green consumer saviour has ever heard of or
ever even read anything by or about their founding fathers? People who
understood something about ‘human scale’ communities and the values inherent in
local and regional production and consumption of quality goods produced on a
relatively small scale by caring individuals for caring individuals?
The European Union is the World’s largest trading block and
is run by an unelected executive of power hungry technocrats who sit in the
offices of The European Commission. Its existence was planned and executed at
the 1955 Rome meeting of ‘The Bilderbergers’, a secret society of elitist
despots whose role is to set the agenda for a super centralised state – and
ultimately world – in which the most powerful oligarchs retain 100% control
over the evolution of society.
The European Common Market was established in 1958, three
years after this Bilderberger meeting. Its co-founder Jean Monet, in a 1954
letter to a friend, unashamedly stated outright that the object was to create a
‘Federal Europe’. But to do it covertly, making it seem that the ambition was
to initiate a process of economic harmonization between the nation states of
Europe.
So here we are in 2016, and some are still trying not to
notice that 75% of UK rules and regulations have their origins in Brussels, and
that the EU rule book itself is a Leviathan of 172,000 pages which nobody has
ever read, cover to cover. Oh yes, the lawyers know where to look for the legal
definition of ‘a cabbage’ and other such vital bits of information. They and
they only, know where to dig up the right phrase amongst the various treaties
which resulted from the ‘democratic’ voting procedures (read ‘fixed’ voting
procedures) which got us all embroiled in this vast and ugly behemoth over the
past five or six decades.
It was during the same post World War Two era that the
entities known as The United Nations, Bretton Woods, The International Monetary
Fund and The World Bank were created. All of these are just part of one mega
power structure whose ambition is to run the planet for its own ends, casting
aside any and all voices for an independent and self-autonomous society made up
of people with values still grounded in honourable traditions of fairness,
social cohesion and actual justice. A model of society which ought to be
stamped all over the Greens’ calling cards.
The European Union is a major step along the road towards
George Bush’s publicly stated dream of ‘A New World Order’ and a ‘One World
Government’. The EU ultimately serves the interests of the Monsanto and
Pfizer’s of the world, but has to appear to be listening and acting on behalf
of its constituent countries’ peoples. This applies to all ‘trading blocks’ not
just the European Union.
We know that this is a total sham; a façade to entice us
into letting go of any last feeling of sympathy we might hold towards our
cultural traditions; the autonomy of the nation state in which we were born;
the right to elect a representative of our region to stand in a national
parliamentary institution over which we have at least ‘some’ control.
It’s that, or capitulation to global corporate ‘full
spectrum dominence’ under the likes of TTIP, CETA and NAFTA.
There’s a way out of this – and it’s called ‘power to the
people’.
