In a telling U-turn British Prime Minister Tony Blair has stated
that the EU no
longer needs a constitution and should instead "opt
for a less ambitious new treaty that would not require a referendum."
In other words Blair is acknowledging that the people
have seen through the legislation to create a federal superstate
so the European globalist elite need to change the wording and
pass it without letting the people vote on it.
Blair's spokesman said an amending treaty would
not require a referendum "in the same way that for the last
50 years other treaties of the kind that we're envisaging haven't
needed a referendum".
Blair echoed
comments made by Downing Street earlier in the year that
hinted towards implementation of a "mini constitution"
over which it would 'not be necessary" to hold a referendum.
The latest stealth movements come on the back of leaked
documents from late last year revealing that the British government
is to launch a multi-million pound propaganda war to force the
British people to love the European Union and Brussels bureaucrats.
Every Whitehall department is to appoint a spin doctor responsible
for promoting the EU. And Downing Street will draw up an 'EU Grid'
to make sure stories portraying Brussels in a good light are leaked
to the media on a regular basis. These include promoting the 'EU
brand' by linking to popular European events and institutions
such as the Eurovision song contest, the Cannes Film Festival
and the UEFA soccer organisation that runs the Champions League
tournament - even though none of them has anything to do with
the EU.
The British government has previously said that if the public
voted no they would continue
to hold referendums until the public voted yes. Now it seems
they won't even do that and are ready to simply sign over British
sovereignty without giving the public a say whatsoever.

The EU constitution was shot down in 2005 by French
and Dutch no votes. However, ever since then critics have leveled
that the constitution is being
implemented anyway, clause by clause, as if the No votes
had not even happened.
Whilst the major countries have failed to win
over their populations into relinquishing their sovereignty,
over half of the now 27 countries in the EU have said yes to
the constitution. In 2005 British MP Daniel Hannan conducted
research into this back door implementation for the London Telegraph:
"Formal ratification by all 25 states is regarded
in Brussels as a technicality. To all intents and purposes, the
EU is carrying on as though the constitution were already in force.
Most of the institutions that it would have authorized are either
up and running already, or in the process of being established."
Hannan wrote.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose country holds
the EU's six-month presidency, wants
to resuscitate the treaty and the subject will be a main topic
of debate at an EU leaders meeting in June.
Last month at the EU summit in Berlin, Merkel
as representative of all European leaders oversaw the
signing of a document called Declaration on the Future of
Europe, which called for new 'institutional reforms'. The declaration
was veiled as a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Treaty
of Rome, but in reality contained specific references to attempts
to have a new EU treaty in place by 2009.
Senior
British Cabinet sources have warned that the European globalists
including Blair and Merkel are pushing hard for Brussels to be
given a full-time unelected president, who would serve
a five year term and speak as the voice of Europe on the world
stage.
Insiders have told the press that the major european leaders
are also prepared - without consulting their Cabinets - to endorse
full-time defence and foreign ministers for the whole EU.
German Chancellor Merkel has also previously stated that the
European Union should aim to create
a common army within the next 50 years and also have armed
police to operate with impunity across borders.
Reforms to strengthen the European Parliament could undermine
the ability of member states to opt out of EU laws, as Britain
does at present.
All this is being slowly implemented without the consent of
the public in each member state and despite the previous no
votes in Holland and France on these very issues.
Under the original
draft text of the proposed EU constitution (PDF link), first
presented in 2004, 16 articles were unveiled as the first piece
of a constitutional text being drawn up for the Convention on
the Future of Europe.
Sweeping aside objections, the document established the European
Union on a "federal basis", enjoying "primacy over
the law of the member states".
This means that were it to be implemented countries would lose
control of foreign policy and defence and would be stripped
of their sovereign power to legislate in almost all areas of
national life. Remember that the EU at its inception was supposed
to be a simple economic agreement between individual states.
The areas it now seeks to dominate also include public health,
social policy, transport, justice, agriculture, fisheries, energy,
economic and social cohesion, the environment, internal and external
trade, and consumer protection.
Under the original draft of the constitution Article 3 gives
the EU powers to "co-ordinate the economic policies of the
member states", which covers fiscal policy.
Article 4 says "the Union shall have competence to define
and implement a common foreign and security policy, including
the progressive framing of a common defence policy".
Virtually all the current activities of the British Government
for example would fall under the "exclusive" or "shared
competence" of the EU, meaning that Westminster would be
prohibited from legislating unless Brussels choose to waive its
primacy.
In their important history of the EU,
The Great Deception, British authors Christopher Booker and
Richard North, concluded that the 27 member nations now entangled
in the union have ceded their sovereignty in a carefully planned
stealth operation. They grudgingly credit european globalists
with accomplishing "a slow-motion coup d’etat: the
most spectacular coup d’etat in history."
The authors of The Great Deception summarized the effect of the
Treaty of Rome: "Thus did the central deception of the whole
story become established. From now on, the real agenda, political
integration, was to be deliberately concealed under the guise
of economic integration. Building Europe was to be presented as
a matter of trade and jobs."
In addition dissidents and outcasts such as Vladimir
Bukovksy have warned that an elite plan has long existed
whereby the EU would be hijacked and transformed into a Soviet
style Socialist superstate that would eliminate the individual
nation state's power and create a governing body with no accountability
or direct representation.
The current state of the EU is a prime example of why Americans
should by extremely wary of talk of a North American Union as
a "Security Prosperity Partnership". As the EU has
proven a simple economic treaty can slowly be transformed into
an all encompassing unelected supranational federal government.
