You might have heard that the Treaty of Lisbon was ratified. The Swedish citizens, as well as the citizens of most other European countries, did not get to vote. I assume that the decision makers didn't think we would be able to deliver the "right result". So it was all up the Irish voters to decide for our future. They voted "no"...but since that wasn't the "right answer" they had to vote again. Once the propaganda machinery and scaremongering was fully working, they managed to squeeze a "yes" out of the voters.So what does this all mean? Well, so far, we have a new permanent President and a Foreign minister.
Hm, a President and a Foreign minister. That sounds like something that countries have. Why have a President and a Foreign minister if the EU is not even a country?
Maybe we missed the part about us becoming one state while we were lining up to get our flu shot? Perhaps we also forgot that we didn't vote in a Presidential election? And if we now have a Foreign minister, shouldn't that also mean that all countries within the EU are "domestic", i.e. within the same country?
Not that I thought our system of democracy was very well functioning to begin with, but the little we had seems to have completely vanished right before our eyes.
The people do not possess the power even if the illusion that we do till remains. Our leaders are hand picked by the Bilderberg group (Carl Bildt and prime minister Fredrik Reinfeldt have attended). See this article from Aftonbladet. Reinfeldt describes the meetings as a "discussion group". But how informal can it be when the elite all meet up. They are hardly discussing soccer or the latest novels from Oprah's book club. When also people from the highest positions in media and business are invited (without being able to disclose anything said during the meetings) i doubt that the meetings are as informal as they'd like us to think. If the meetings were informal, and what they discussed didn't have any greater influence over our lives, then why the secrecy? Why even bother to meet at all?
Perhaps they are keeping it secret from us because the realize that we aren't smart enough to understand. It's much better that we just let the elite decide over our lives and carry on with our Christmas shopping.

Perhaps you know that in the UK we've been having a big MPs expenses scandal - as they call it in the media. Maybe it was created to undermine respect for UK political institutions, to make way for the full transfer of power to the EU.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that politicians were pressured to keep their salaries down, whilst other public servant's salaries rose. They then 'over-interpreted' what expenses they could claim for - with tacit approval from their seniors no doubt. After a while were exposed by the main stream media as untrustworthy, and there was a push to reform MPs allowances.
The outcome could be that MPs without company directorships and other corporate interests, become deterred from politics. I know these politicians have cheated a bit, but compared to the bank bailouts and taxpayer funded guarantees for the corrupt financial system, the amounts are very small.
I think if we want politicians to represent us, we do need to make sure it's US who are paying them, and not the corporations.
I have the impression the MEPs expenses are higher than our MPs expenses anyway, but I'm not sure about that.
