Hello all ...
National sovereignty in Europe - what little is left of it - was condemned to history this week with the signing of the 'Lisbon Treaty' that centralises power in the European Union like never before. The Rubicon has now been crossed and we enter full-blown tyranny.
The final signature to the agreement was that of Vaclav Klaus, President of the Czech Republic, who had held out as long as he thought was possible. Klaus has been a vehement critic of the Treaty and he well knows what it means for European freedom and national sovereignty and identity. He has also dismissed the belief in human-caused global warming as 'a false myth and every serious person and scientist says so'.
He is clearly a man who can see beyond the end of his nose and the garbage that must be daily put before him by officialdom, but when he swished his pen this week he was well aware that he was effectively signing away all rights for Europeans to decide their own national destiny and handing them to the dark-suits and dark minds in the EU bureaucracy in Brussels, Belgium.
The same is planned for North America, Africa and Asia-Australia- New Zealand and it is good to be streetwise about the methods and techniques employed to seize control of the nation state. What has been done to ensnare Europe is happening now around the world.
The basic theme is encapsulated in a single quote 57 years ago by the 'Father of Europe', the Rothschild frontman, Jean Monnet. In the year I was born, he wrote this in a letter to a friend:
'Europe's nations should be guided towards the super-state without their people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished by successive steps, each disguised as having an economic purpose, but will eventually and irreversibly lead to federation.'
And so it was.
I call this technique the Totalitarian Tiptoe. You move towards your goal in a series of many steps and not in a few big leaps that would alert the population to what is going on. The Illuminati Fabian Society, from where George Orwell and Aldous Huxley secured the information for their 'prophetic' books, 1984 and Brave New World, is even named after Fabius Maximus, a Roman general and dictator who mastered this technique of wearing down an opponent over time. It is captured visually by the Fabian Society logo - a wolf in sheep's clothing
Today's centrally-controlled European dictatorship began life as the "European Coal and Steel Community" European Coal and Steel Community, established in 1951. This integrated the coal and steel industries of France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg and came from an 'idea' by Jean Monnet (tiptoe).
The six countries of the "European Coal and Steel Community" European Coal and Steel Community signed the Treaty of Rome in 1957 to create the 'EEC', the European Economic Community (tiptoe).
The EEC was enlarged in 1973 to include Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom. The UK's entry was promoted by Rothschild asset, Satanist and child-killer, Ted Heath, and the deal signed when he was Prime Minister (tiptoe).
The first direct and, allegedly, 'democratic' elections to the irrelevant European Parliament were held in 1973 in an attempt to hide the fact that the whole fascist/communist structure was controlled by unelected bureaucrats. Greece joined the EEC in 1981 followed by Spain and Portugal in 1986 (tiptoe).
The Schengen Agreement of 1985 opened the borders between most member states and a year later the 'Community' introduced its own flag (tiptoe).
The Treaty of Rome was revised by the Single European Act of 1986 which significantly increased the power of the bureaucratic centre to impose its will on the countries of Europe (tiptoe).
The European Union was formally established when the Maastricht Treaty became law in 1993. It massively advanced the power of the bureaucrats and opened the way for the introduction of the single European currency, the euro (tiptoe).
The European Union expanded to include 27 member states with around 500 million people who have their lives dictated down to increasingly fine detail by faceless dark-suits and the hapless, ruthless and corrupt politicians they control (tiptoe).
Then came the final push to end the reign of the nation state in Europe as, in any way, a self-governing entity. This was the proposed European Constitution, produced by long-time Illuminati asset, the former French President, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing. It was he who had told the then Soviet President, Mikhail Gorbachev, in January 1989:
'Mr President, I cannot tell you exactly when it will happen - probably within 15 years - but Europe is going to be a federal state and you have to prepare yourself for that. You have to work out with us, and the European leaders, how you would react to that, how would you allow the other East European countries to interact with it or how to become a part of it, you have to be prepared.'
Giscard d'Estaing was meeting Gorbachev with David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger in a delegation from the Rothschild-controll ed Trilateral Commission, an organisation officially co-founded by Rockefeller and Barack Obama mentor, Zbigniew Brzezinski.
Giscard d'Estaing: the Rothschilds' boy.
The estimate of 'within 15 years' would have been pretty much spot on had they not made the mistake of actually giving the public a say in the Netherlands and France in 2005.
Both populations rejected the Constitution in referendums because they could see what the implications were of the creation of a President of Europe, a European Foreign Minister and the vast erosion of national powers to veto and opt out of bureaucrat-dictated laws and regulations.
What normally happens when referendums about the EU go the 'wrong way' is that they wait a while, pour resources, people and propaganda into the country, and then force another vote. This has happened a number of times.
They could see with French and Dutch, however, that the feeling against the Constitution was so strong that this was not going to work. So, they simply changed the name of the document from the European Constitution to the Lisbon Treaty.
Some 98% of the content was the same, but they said that because it was now 'just' a treaty and not a constitution, it was not affected by the French and Dutch votes and the promise of the Blair government in Britain to 'guarantee' a public vote on the Constitution no longer applied.
I will now go through the sequence of events that happened in Britain between then and this week. It is such a classic example of the way the system is manipulated and the people scammed by politicians who claim to be on different 'sides', but aren't.
It is information that those in other countries would benefit from knowing, given that these techniques are universal and not confined to Britain.
Tony Blair, the then Prime Minister, and his Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, made their commitment to a public referendum on the European Constitution to help them win the General Election in May 2005, but then Brown, who replaced Blair as Prime Minister in 2007, said there would be no such public vote.
Brown said outrageously (and following the agreed line throughout Europe) that the Treaty was significantly different from the Constitution and so his commitment to a referendum was not relevant. What he meant, as with other European leaders, like Mossad operative Sarkozy in France, is that they knew the populations would reject it whatever name you dressed it up with and so they were not going to be given the chance.
Brown and Cameron.
'Hey, Dave, did you get the same orders as me?'
'Of course. I take over next May, did you see that?'
For those outside the UK, Gordon Brown leads (in theory) the Labour Party while the main 'opposition' is the Conservative Party, headed by David Cameron. Playing the mind games that they do, just like the Republicans and Democrats in the US, Cameron pledged a 'cast iron guarantee' that he would give the British people a referendum on the Treaty if he was voted into office.
He did this with the confidence of someone who believed that the Treaty would be all done and dusted, in place and in operation, by the time he ever made it to Downing Street, but he had to placate public opinion and the many in his own party who oppose the further erosion of British sovereignty.
A spanner was thrown in this cosy little 'works', albeit sadly temporarily, by the only nation given a referendum on the Treaty - Ireland. Even the EU bully boys couldn't stop this because it was in the Irish Constitution that there had to be a public vote on such a transfer of power.
It was thought that a 'yes' vote would be breeze, but the Irish voted 'no' in June 2008 and the Brussels toilet roll order did soar. Oh my God!
Every country had to agree to the Treaty for it to become law and the truly useless Irish government of Brian Cowen could not do so in the light of the public decision.
Brian Cowen: 'What just happened? Where am I? What's my name?'
While Cowen was given his orders to have another vote and get the right answer, more potential trouble was brewing in the UK. By the middle of 2008, just after the Irish referendum, Gordon Brown was in desperate trouble and potentially could have been forced out.
His 'leadership' proved so inept that the plotters were gathering in his own party to get rid of him and this was highly likely to lead to a general election in which David Cameron would have been hot favourite to win.
But hold on. The Irish vote had delayed the signing of the Lisbon Treaty by at least a year and Cameron had given his 'cast iron guarantee' to give the British people a referendum, one in which they would have voted 'no' by a considerably margin.
Oh my God (2).
The only way to save the Treaty was to keep Brown in office until the Irish vote was overturned and the document passed into law. Enter Britain's Mr Sleaze and Slither, Peter Mandelson, the Rothschild bosom buddy, and the UK's version of Rahm Emanuel, Obama's handler and spinner and another operative for the Rothschilds.
Mandelson can't stand Brown, but needs must from his point of view. If Brown's survival was required to save the Treaty, so be it.
'Hey, Gordie, it's Uncle Peter, you remember me? The Rothschilds asked me to come. I'm the paddle to your creek.'
Mandelson was twice forced to resign from the Blair government amid allegations of corruption and went off to Brussels to become one of the dark-suit 'commissioners' . He made an enormous fortune from taxpayers' money and advanced the agenda for a pan-European dictatorship.
It was announced in October 2008, with Brown's leadership in disarray, that Mandelson had been appointed to the government as 'Business Secretary', just in time to take control of financial policy in the wake of the banking crisis orchestrated by his Rothschild masters and associates.
There was the little matter that Mandelson was not an elected Member of Parliament, but that was no problem. He was simply made a 'Lord' which qualified him to attend the House of Lords and, in turn, allowed him to be appointed to government.
No public vote necessary. Ain't 'democracy' great?
Mandelson set about quelling the internal rebellion against Brown to keep him in office, ensuring that shocking amounts of money were squandered in bailing out the banks and accumulated extraordinary powers that gave him a place on 35 of the 43 Cabinet committees and subcommittees.
Mandelson runs the British government to this day - in other words, the Rothschilds do.
Mandelson with Jacob Rothschild at the Rothschild villa in Corfu.
Last month the Irish voted 'yes' in the re-run referendum on the Lisbon Treaty - an absolutely mind-boggling decision and testament to how easy it is for the few to control the many when the many are not conscious.
What can you say about people who are so blatantly abused and insulted by having their first decision rejected by the EU tyranny and then vote again and agree to give control of their lives and their country to the very same EU tyranny.
To those in Ireland who voted yes, and even more so to those who celebrated the 'victory' in the streets, I should remind you that you need to breathe every few seconds or you die. Don't forget, now.
And a few people can't control the world??
The Irish 'yessers' were actually voting to dismantle their own country, hand complete control over anything that matters to Brussels bureaucrats and, irony of ironies, ensuring that they will never get the chance to vote again on increased EU powers because that right is deleted by the Lisbon Treaty.
One man held out against the tide and that was Vaclav Klaus, President of the Czech Republic, who's idea appeared to be to delay signing on behalf of his country until Cameron came to office in the UK and triggered a referendum
David Cameron: Blair Mark II
It was never a plan because Cameron had no intention of scuppering the establishment. My goodness, he is the establishment. He has family ties to the Rothschilds, the world banking cartel and royalty.
Cameron's great-great grandfather, Sir Ewen Cameron, helped the Rothschilds sell war bonds during the Russo-Japanese war and his great-grandfather, Emile Levita, a Jewish immigrant to Britain from Germany in 1850, was director of the London-based Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China.
A family connection to King George III makes Cameron a fifth cousin of the Queen, twice removed. Cameron is also related to William IV. His immensely wealthy father-in-law is a direct descendant of Charles II and can trace his bloodline back to the Knights Templar and the Fifth Crusade.
Yep, what a rebel Cameron must be.
Peter Mandelson 'Labour' and David Cameron 'Conservative' :
'You got the script, Dave?'
'Yes, Peter.'
'Good boy, good boy.'
The circle was completed on Wednesday when Cameron announced that, with Vaclav Klaus signing the Lisbon Treaty and its introduction planned within weeks, he was withdrawing his pledge to have a referendum on it, or European integration, if he wins the next election.
Game, set and match.
He announced that instead there would be a referendum on any future treaties and he would negotiate a return of (unspecified) powers to Britain. Is that a 'cast iron guarantee', Dave?
But all this is a nonsense and Cameron knows it. There will be no more treaties for the people to vote on - the Lisbon document is 'self-amending' and they can just add to it as they like. The return of powers already conceded to the EU is specifically forbidden by documents already signed.
The European Economic Community was lied into existence and it has been lied into its present state as the 'legal personality' of a 'country' called Europe. The 'nation states' are merely its regions. The ratification of the Lisbon Treaty means:
a.. The EU can negotiate and sign international treaties on behalf of the whole of Europe and establish a publicly-unelected President of Europe and Foreign Minister.
b.. EU judges have powers over 'justice' and policing for the first time, and the EU police force, Europol, will be able to instigate investigations in member states (regions).
c.. So-called 'ratchet clauses' allow the EU to increase the powers of the Brussels bureaucrats without any new treaties and thus anything now goes, basically.
d.. Even without these further powers to be added in the future, the Lisbon Treaty deletes the ability of 'nation states' like Britain to veto EU legislation in 16 new areas, including transport.
e.. The EU can introduce a 'common defence policy' for Europe leading to the creation of a European army.
f.. It will be easier for the EU to force countries to accept 'asylum seekers' (whether genuine or not) and have a say, eventually the whole say, in what benefits are paid to them.
This was the week the nation state effectively ended in Europe and a tidal wave of new laws and regulations, long since written and waiting, are about to deluge the countries of Europe when the Lisbon Treaty comes into force in a few weeks.
It has all been planned since at least the 19th century, probably long before that, and lying, cheating and deeply corrupt politicians and bureaucrats have ensured over the last 60 years that the nightmare became fact.
In Europe at least, the game just changed to a whole new phase. Learn the lesson North America, Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. You are next in line. Don't let them do the same to you.
