On October 27, protest rallies in London and throughout Britain saw politicians and grass-roots anti-EU campaigners demand that Prime Minster Brown schedule a referendum on the matter of Britain’s approval of the new EU Treaty.
European Parliament member Daniel Hannan, a British national, told a large London gathering that Great Britain had already ceased to be an independent nation and was largely run from EU headquarters in Brussels. He insisted that approval of the recently constructed EU treaty formed as a substitute for the rejected EU Constitution, would “make the British people completely subservient to Europe.” He supported the demands for a referendum issued by over 100 elected officials — members of Parliament, members of the European Parliament, and local elected representatives from the country’s cities and towns. Danish political leader and anti-EU activist Jens-Peter Bonde journeyed from his country to participate in the rally.
Speakers claimed that the newly created treaty would make the EU a single legal entity with an EU head of state, an EU foreign minister, an EU police force, an EU judicial system, and an EU army. They also claimed that the new treaty would do away with any remaining ability for Britain to veto EU legislation.
In a related event, a “Counter-Jihad Conference” met in Brussels on October 18. Referring to their homelands as “Eurabia,” participants addressed the continuing strong influx of Muslims into all parts of Europe. Of particular note to Americans, reporter Baron Bodissey, who attended the conference, issued the following warning to the people of the United States:
And for those who think America is exempt from all of this, bear in mind the “North American Union.” The NAU is also considered a paranoid fantasy by most people, but it is being constructed in the same manner, piecemeal, boring document by boring document. Agreements, protocols, joint understandings, etc. — none of them requires the consent of Congress. They are not secret, but they are never noticed by the public at large, and so never generate any popular counter-pressure on elected officials.
Imagine a Rip Van Winkle, who went to sleep in the 1950s during the heady days of the Common Market when removing trade barriers was supposedly the only issue. Waking up fifty years later, he discovers that a totalitarian European regime has been imposed from Brussels, without so much as a by-your-leave from the citizens of the nations of Europe.
O Brave New World, indeed!
It begins with the removal of trade barriers. Then comes the talk about “the free flow of goods and people.” Then, the “harmonization of laws within the community.” With politically correct multicultural indoctrination to grease the skids, no one notices until it’s too late. They wake up and find their God-given rights have evaporated, and decisions are made on their behalf and without their consent by a distant and unaccountable group of bureaucratic mandarins.
Watch Europe closely; its present is America’s future.
What has occurred and continues to occur in Europe does not have to be America’s fate. Resistance here in our nation to the threat posed by those who seek to create an EU-style single legal entity is real and growing. It must become a force that cannot be resisted by any of this nation’s would-be “bureaucratic mandarins.”
