In the thirty-three months it took to write and then rewrite the new constitution in a frantic bluster of secret negotiations and self-congratulatory banquets, and at a cost to taxpaying munchkins of untold millions of euros, nothing could have prepared them for this dark hour. For these pampered viceroys of a revived Roman empire who take upon themselves the title of 'Excellency' work to a timetable set by a higher master - a master who jealously stalks the corridors of power, from Whitehall to Washington, Beijing to Moscow, looking to devour those who serve less than flawlessly and without an eye on the clock. It's five minutes to twelve, and the ticking has rudely stopped. The master is furious.
This wasn't meant to happen. The propaganda has always worked in the past. The entire left-right spectrum of the French political and Catholic establishment, backed by a nimble phalanx of pseudo experts and geriatric SWAT teams of white-haired university professors with impressive titles, joined with both 'respectable society' and the drug-addled icons of popular Parisian culture to remind all good citizens through the whoring mainstream media and their legion of multiple-orifice presstitutes that it was their duty to say "Oui". But the sons and daughters of French liberty, seething with an indignant rage shared by millions of Europeans denied the right to vote, confronted the globalist beast and yelled "Non!"
The political tsunami was felt from the west coast of Ireland to the east coast of Greece. "Non! The Earthquake," proclaimed the headline on the front page of La Tribune, while the globalist newspaper Libération attacked the rebellious French, describing the result as representing "a general disaster and an epidemic of populism, which is sweeping everything in its path". The May 30 edition of the Europhile British daily, The Guardian, went further and claimed boldly: "Yesterday was nothing less than the beginning of the second French revolution."
The mainstream German press, constrained as it is by a general prohibition on all talk of alternatives to the European Union, could only speculate on what might have happened had the German people been allowed to vote. "The fears that surfaced during the debate in France are not foreign to us," said Henrik Uterwedde, Deputy Director of the German-French Institute in Ludwigsburg. If Germans had been granted a referendum, he continued, "the discussion would have gone exactly the same way".
"The French voted for us," was a common refrain on the streets of Frankfurt. The German parliament, traditionally fearful of allowing ordinary citizens to vote in referenda, in much the same way it fears any objective discussion about the lies contained within the pages of Germany's official 'history' books, treasonously ratified the treaty with a comfortable majority on Friday, May 27, following a series of quisling pro-EU speeches reminiscent of East Germany's subservience to the Soviet Union.
This audacious betrayal of the German people took place against a backdrop in which the mainstream media made no mention of the planned NATO and US neoconservative takeover of the German armed forces, an agenda concealed in cleverly worded provisions in Articles 1-14 and 1-16 of the treaty. Indeed, mindful of the wrath of the City of London and its insidious international banking operations, already responsible for instigating and financing two world wars to break the spirit of the German people, the federal media shut down all discussion of the constitution's implications for other independent European armies.
As neatly summarised by journalist and peace campaigner Israel Shamir, the French saved their fellow Europeans from a fate worse than death by killing a document that would forever bind sovereign national armies to NATO, placing them under the control of neo-fascist Washington and its Satanic, Zionist puppet masters in London.
"The proposed constitution was about to subordinate the European Armed Forces to the NATO, meaning to the US command," wrote Israel Shamir in the May 30 edition of TheTruthSeeker.co.uk. "But for [the] wisdom of the French voters, in the next US invasion, Europeans would be forced to serve in the invading force, whether it is Iran or Russia that the Neo-cons will decide to subdue."
Wrong-footed, winded and fumbling, the flabby, grey-faced politicians and lawyers are out in force: explaining, soothing, prevaricating. It's spin time again. Like a host of Armani-suited Jabba the Hutts, sliming their way from one government-controlled mainstream media outlet to the next, Europe's political degenerates are putting the shine on a humiliating defeat with words carefully chosen lest they unwittingly acknowledge the power that ordinary people still possess. Britain's best-known murderer, Tony Blair: "Time for reflection". Germany's outgoing Chancellor, Gerhard Schroeder: "Regrettable". France's Traitor-in-Chief himself, Jacques Chirac: "I take note".
The elites are busy scribbling the notes of which Chirac spoke. Legally, the treaty requires ratification in all 25 European Union member states, yet angry Bilderbergers such as Jose Manuel Barroso, the current head of the European Commission, are already hissing that either dissenting nations would be 'invited' to vote again until they get it 'right', or that something may miraculously emerge from the small print previously overlooked, which would allow for a more liberal interpretation of the rules. "We cannot say that the treaty is dead," Barroso warned ominously.
But the Dutch disagree. As I write, millions of them are kicking the corpse of this odious treaty; and should there be yet one twitch remaining in the body of its articles, the British and the Danes will finish the job.
For American readers unacquainted with life on the European continent, understand that this is nothing less than the start of a full-blooded political insurrection that cuts right across the artificial political divide. While the wheels have come off the European project, leaving the vehicle stuck in a constitutional ditch, opponents of the globalist agenda are now poised for what should be an aggressive and determined attack on the very engine of expansion and integration.
For both Americans and Europeans, the enemy is the same. It employs trauma-based economic terrorism under the banner of 'free markets' to demolish the nation state and our God-given rights to liberty and self-determination. It works through price-gouging, tax largesse for corporations that destroy free-enterprise, the wholesale destruction of the middle classes by encouraging the export of quality jobs abroad and the import of cheap labour to displace what few options are left. It is dedicated to the creation of artificial conflicts and trivial distractions to keep people divided and drugged, and it maintains the constant drumbeat of militarism that nuances the dance of death in which the United Nations and the United States are willing partners who fake being out of step.
The world has long since surrendered its hope that fearless Americans will rise up by force of arms and reclaim their birthright, retaking their great country from the freedom and wealth-destroying Zionist cabal in Washington. While their children die for Israel and oil in a war to depopulate a broken Arab nation that did them no harm, most Americans are lost in a bizarre fantasy world of asinine government propaganda, junk entertainment and effeminate shopping malls.
But though, for now, the issue is a diabolical treaty settled without a whiff of gun-smoke at the ballot box, the French have raised the standard of resistance against a wounded but unrepentant New World Order, and the battle lines are drawn. Europe's parasitic elites in London, Brussels and Strasbourg will neither forgive nor forget; and in the months and years to come, they will not go down without drawing blood. So mark this day and mark it well, for Europe stands before the fire.
At long last, the fight-back has begun.

I don’t buy that for a second. They have turned down a bad deal. Something a citizen is supposed to do and we have done now and then.
The European Union’s success is not in melting everyone into one state, it is in allowing each state to be a state with its own focus, within its own culture with its own collective language and understanding.
It can only do this within the framework of a working democracy: a democracy that has high voter turn out by strong independent and intelligent voters, something that is not available in the United States.
John Manley is going to run for the Liberal leadership, he is going to have Frank McKenna, our current ambassador to the states backing him. They are going to talk to us about a union in North America, they are going to be trying to con us into a bad deal.

'Zionist Cabal' give us a break, it's 2005! What's next the Jews killed themselves at German resorts so their grand kids could bankrupt Swiss Banks. And, Slavery was an African cospiracy to get to the New World? Is anyone taking this crap seriously? Please tell me because I can't tell the left from the right anymore!

Or perhaps based on their character. Our politicians provide ample demonstration that their views can be changed given the appropriate motivators.
One thing that is not talked about is the idea of emotional voting. France and the dutch do not have tons of experience with referenda, one could see this as being a replica of what MAY have been the case in Canada in the 1992 referendum. In other words it could be a case of voting against something simply because the government wants it. I'm not saying that this was always, or even often the case, but nothing can be discounted where people are involved.
I didn't even understand the comments to the article above, so I won't comment on them, but clearly any time there is a referenda I find it quite exciting. I haven't yet seen the numbers, anybody that's seen a website with a breakdown of the numbers, particularly demographically feel free to post it here.
Symbolically it is always a joyous thing to see 'the people' vote against the interests of their leaders. I don't think I'm out on a limb in claiming that we know that the effects of globalization have so far only really helped a specific minority. That that one group also has our representatives by the cahonays in an antiquated parliamentary system is evident to me, although others may disagree.

Dear All who are remarking on the EU Referendum and EU Constitution<br />
<br />
There seems to be confusion on what is being voted upon. The EU is quite well established and is not likely to be "voted out". It would likely take a massive political uprising to stop the EU from forming. There-fore, you are not voting on whether to have a EU or not, the vote is strictly to accept the EU Constitution as written or not. That said, I believe a European Government is in the best interest of Europeans. To accomplish this without severely disrupting cultural and societal established norms is problematic. It requires that each Nation have definite input and compromise be accomplished which protects the Liberties of Nation states as well as individuals.<br />
<br />
The initial forming of the EU was corporate. (1958) The function was trade and economics and included developing an EU bank. Of course this money control also provides control of other things, which could be the dilemma. They who control the money, controls all. This CORPORATE structure has designed this EU Constitution. It is no surprise it favors CORPORATIONS not people.<br />
<br />
The Treaty of Rome refers to the treaty which established the European Economic Community (EEC) and was signed by France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg on March 25, 1957. Its original full name was Treaty establishing the European Economic Community -- however the Treaty of Maastricht amended it and among other things removed the word "Economic" from the name of both the community and the treaty. The treaty is therefore now generally called the Treaty establishing the European Community or the EC Treaty. Came into force 1 January 1958.<br />
<br />
Reading the EU Constitution soon shows the totally dictatorial and un-democratic structure it envisions.<br />
<br />
The President of the European Commission is notionally the highest ranking unelected official within the European Union.<br />
<br />

<br />
Supranationalism is a method of decision-making in international organizations, where power is held by independent appointed officials or by representatives elected by the legislatures or people of the member states. Member-state governments still have power, but they must share this power with other actors. Furthermore, decisions are made by majority votes, hence it is possible for a member-state to be forced by the other member-states to implement a decision against its will.<br />
<br />
Of course the people think they have a voice in the EU Parliament. Although attempts were made in the 1980s and 90s to expand its powers, the parliament remains largely a consultative body. In most cases its opinion is not binding; the final vote on legislation proposed by the European Commission , as well as amendments proposed by the parliament, rests with the Council of the European Union . If your "elected" representatives in the EU Parliament have no power, YOU have no power.<br />
<br />
Oh, the Council has the power? who are they? It gets real confusing but eventually you can track the power to Corporate heads. Is this who you want to have that kind of power over you?<br />
<br />
So the "vote" is truly on acceptance of the EU Constitution, not whether to form an EU or not. In my opinion, the EU Constitution should be shredded and a totally new EU Constitution written with input from the people as is possible now with the Net.<br />
<br />
If Europe accepts this EU Constitution, with no basic rights, no divided powers, no ability to directly affect the decisions being made, I believe that Europeans will become slaves to the master.<br />
<br />
Article I-46: The principle of participatory democracy<br />
<br />
A significant number of citizens, no less than one million, coming from a significant number of Member States may invite the Commission to submit any appropriate proposal on matters where citizens consider that a legal act of the Union is required for the purpose of implementing this Constitution. A European law shall determine the provisions regarding the specific procedures and conditions required for such a citizens' request.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately many believe Article I-46 provides for I&R. It does not. It makes provision that a law shall be made to determine specific procedures. This "law" will be made by the people that provided the EU Parliament as advisory. The people will not make this law, they will have to follow it.<br />
<br />
Right now, provision (law) could be made for the EU Ombudsman to recruit one person from each nation and write provisions for I&R&R which could only be changed by a referendum of all the people of the EU. This "law" would need to be in the "new" EU Constitution. The EU Constitution does allow changes, even though it is being voted upon. (strange)<br />
<br />
The US does not need a EU Clone of us, we need a democratic EU which will help us save US.<br />
<br />
The present un-democratic EU Constitution must be defeated.<p>---<br>"When we are in the middle of the paradigm, it is hard to imagine any other paradigm" (Adam Smith).<br />
I would blame neo-Liberalism (the European equivalent of the neo-Conservativism found in North America) for much of the negative aspects of this constitution. Rejecting it off the bat was a smart move on the part of the French and the Dutch. Forcing them to go back to the drawing board while at the same time forcing them to consult the mood and opinion(s) of the public at large is where the process of drawing up a constitution should begin.
One wonders though at nations such as Latvia whose Parliament overwhelmingly endorsed the constitution. And there are those who say that France and Holland should go ahead with ratifying the treaty regardless of the outcome of the referendums.
I'd put faith in the Europeans. If anyone could use direct democracy effectively, it's Europe. The electorate of Europe is far more involved and active than their North American cousins (present company excluded of course).
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Europe is the model for Canadians to look at. I'm not saying all of what they have to offer is worthing taking it upon ourselves to acheive. But looking at their model can help us solve some of our own problems, from the regional divide to the democratic deficit to helth care. Europe may offer the answers. Good post Calumny!

Obviously, this is an oversimplification, as other parties influenced the war, but Hitler did give the finger to private bankers and take back control of money policy nationally.
Criticizing bankers in no way implicates the majority of the Jewish community.
