Somalian, 112, marries teenage girl 95 years his junior... and plans to have childrenOnly difference here is that him, all his wives and the kids will be paid for by YOU.
A Somali man who claims to be 112 years old has married a 17-year old girl.'Today God helped me realise my dream,' Ahmed Mohamed Dore said, after the wedding in the region of Galguduud.
Bride Safiya Abdulle's family said she was 'happy with her new husband'.
Dhore says he wanted to marry Abdulle for a long time but waited for her to grow up.
'I didn't force her, but used my experience to convince her of my love; and then we agreed to marry,' he was quoted by the BBC as saying.
He said his children and two other wives agreed to the marriage, as did Abdulle's parents.
And he claimed he wants to have more children with his young bride.
The pair celebrated their marriage late Tuesday in central Somalia before hundreds of guests.
Somali adolescent girls are often married off to older men, but it is rare for a man as old as Dhore to marry a girl of Abdulle's age.
Dhore claims to be 112, but there is no way to verify the claim.
This marriage was his 6th; three of Dhore's wives have died.
Polygamy is widely practiced in predominantly Muslim Somalia.

UK - quangos costs each family £3,640 a year
Bunch of unaccountable proxies for the government, the EU and globalists to push their agenda upon us. Burn them all down!The quango state is still expanding despite the crisis in the public finances and is now costing every household £3,640 a year, a report warns today.
More than 1,000 unelected public bodies were handed over £90billion of taxpayers' money in 2007-08 - an astonishing increase of £13billion on the previous year, research found.
So many quangos - quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisations - have proliferated that there is no clear picture of how many there are or how much they cost.

Bono: U2 album was too clever for fans?
Maybe it is because you're an overrated band, and people are sick and tired of your duplicity. Prancing around the world telling them to stop using energy that is better utilised in your private jets and elitist buddies' mansions. But no, they have such an inflated view of themselves that the 'fans' must be thick, unable to comprehend the higher power that is Bono.Bono has admitted that he is disappointed with the lack of success for U2's recent album.
No Line On The Horizon was a number one album, but single 'Get On Your Boots' peaked at number 12 in the single charts and 'I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight' only reached number 32.
According to The Mirror, Bono is unhappy that the band didn't "pull off the pop songs".
He explained: "We weren't really in that mindset and we felt that the album was kind of an almost extinct species, and we should approach it in totality and create a mood and a feeling, and a beginning, middle and end."
The frontman added that the record might have been too complex for fans.
"I suppose we've made a work that is a bit challenging for people who have grown up on a diet of popstars," he said.
No you creepy crawly scumbag. You're crap. Fuck off back to your tax haven and stop trying to tell the peasantry how to live. The only fucking reason you have had the attention you have had is because of your elite-agenda worship in the first place.

Fall of the Republic HQ full length version
Fall Of The Republic documents how an offshore corporate cartel is bankrupting the US economy by design. Leaders are now declaring that world government has arrived and that the dollar will be replaced by a new global currency.
President Obama has brazenly violated Article 1 Section 9 of the US Constitution by seating himself at the head of United Nations' Security Council, thus becoming the first US president to chair the world body.
A scientific dictatorship is in its final stages of completion, and laws protecting basic human rights are being abolished worldwide; an iron curtain of high-tech tyranny is now descending over the planet.
A worldwide regime controlled by an unelected corporate elite is implementing a planetary carbon tax system that will dominate all human activity and establish a system of neo-feudal slavery.
The image makers have carefully packaged Obama as the world's savior; he is the Trojan Horse manufactured to pacify the people just long enough for the globalists to complete their master plan.
This film reveals the architecture of the New World Order and what the power elite have in store for humanity. More importantly it communicates how We The People can retake control of our government, turn the criminal tide and bring the tyrants to justice.

Last Union Jack flown at Trafalgar 'must remain in Britain'
The flag will be auctioned in London today, the anniversary of Admiral Lord Nelson’s victory over a joint French and Spanish fleet off the Spanish coast in 1805.
It is expected to fetch at least £15,000. Charles Miller, the auctioneer, has said he believes it is the last surviving flag flown during the battle.
They will try to slap an export ban on it, but the mere fact that this flag could be bought by foreigners says it all really. Just like the Communitarians always want, sell off and/or destroy all British institutions. Sovereignty is a sin in the Brave New World.
Cocaine Socialism
Television executives who take cocaine are often praised for their 'off-the-wall' brilliance instead of reprimanded, according to a former BBC producer.
Sarah Graham, who has worked for Children's BBC, Radio 5, and Channel 4's The Big Breakfast, said drug use remained rife in the industry and was not isolated to workers in their 20s.
Every internet click to be monitored by the state
The £200million-a-year sum will give officials access to details of every internet click made by every citizen - on top of the email and telephone records already available.
It is a 1,700 per cent increase on the cost of the current surveillance regime.
Last night LibDem home affairs spokesman Chris Huhne described the sum as 'eye-watering'.
'There is already enough concern at the level of Government snooping,' he said.
'In an era of tough spending choices, it cannot be a justified response to the problems we face as a country to lavish millions of pounds a year on state spying.
'The increase in money spent on tapping phones and emails is all the more baffling when Britain is still one of the few countries not to allow intercept evidence in court, even in terrorist cases.'
What about that EU extradition law? Allowing countries to drag people from one country to another, and try them under their own laws?
State bodies including councils are already making one request every minute to spy on the phone records and email accounts of members of the public.
The number of snooping missions carried out by police, town halls and other government departments has rocketed by 44 per cent in two years to a rate of 1,381 new cases every day.
Ministers say the five-year cost of the existing regime is £55.61million, an average of £11million a year.
This is paid to phone companies and service providers to meet the cost of keeping and providing private information about customers.
A cost imposed by guess who, THE EU! Try Directive 2006/24/EC; on retaining data generated through electronic communications or public communications networks. You can view the original on the EUR-Lex, here.
The cost of the new system emerged in a series of Parliamentary answers.
It is to cover payments to internet service providers so they can store mountains of information about every customer for a minimum of 12 months, and set up new systems to cope.
The actual content of calls and emails is not be kept - only who they were from or to, when they took place and where they were sent from.
Well that can change. This can only get more intrusive and pervasive.
Police, security services and other public authorities can then request access to the data as part of investigations.
Some 653 bodies are currently allowed access, including councils, the Financial Services Authority, the Ambulance Service and fire authorities and prison governors.
So, they take your information, your personal data, formally just between you and your telco, and share it among millions of public sector workers and across the EU.
And they have the fucking audacity to try and shame people into accepting it with the 'nothing to hide, nothing to fear' speech.
Well I have something to fear from having my information, from DNA to internet clicks, shared among millions. Would you prefer one copy of your passport, in your safekeeping, or millions of copies made and distributed to fuck knows where to be seen by fuck knows who? And this is to fight crime, bullshit. The police are looking to spend millions of handheld DNA, iris scanners (of our money remember) and tell assaulted girls there is no money to take DNA samples.
The new rules allowing access to internet records will be introduced by Parliament before the end of the year.
They are known as the Intercept Modernisation Programme.
They should call it the 'EU Slave Database', much better ring to it.
Ministers had originally wanted to store the information on a massive Government-run database, but chose not to because of privacy concerns.
Yesterday Alex Deane, director of campaign group Big Brother Watch, said: 'The Government is preparing to make British people pay through the nose so that they can track our movements online.'
But a Home Office spokesman said the costs involved were entirely separate from those necessary to comply with the European Data Retention Directive, which requires the storage of phone and email records.
So how much does the EU cost then Is that part of the £40 million a day it is already costing us?
'Communications data is crucial to the fight against crime and keeping people safe,' he added.
The only person you can really count on to keep you safe is yourself. Not the state. We all the police have been made impotent, not that it is even physically impossible for them to prevent crimes before they happen. Only the 'victim' can do that.
'We have made clear that there are no plans to collect and hold the content of everyone's communications.'
Not yet.
Fabians pride themselves on 'incremental warfare.' Slowly, step by step, they enact their plans against Britain. This is yet another.
Incremental warfare. This is also called 'function creep' in the IT world.There were 504,073 made last year to intercept email and telephone records under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act. It was passed ostensibly to fight terrorism.
But it has been used to spy on people suspected of putting their bins out on the wrong day, dropping litter and attempting to cheat school catchment area rules.
This government needs to be utterly destroyed and the neo Communists, the Communitarians, hung from lamp posts on London Bridge. The new sticks to beat freedom out of the population are now 'terrorism' and 'climate change'. Oh man we so need a revolution!

Here's another phoney war: the one on climate change
Dominic Lawson: Here's another phoney war: the one on climate change
There's no glory in spending $10m a year on giant nozzles that squirt sulphur dioxide.
Now Levitt and Dubner are launching the follow up to Freakonomics – but this time it is conventional left-liberal thought which will be outraged by their assertions. A clue is given in the work's full title, Superfreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance. Yes, the authors have this time addressed their dispassionate intellectual blowtorch to the conventional wisdom about climate change, its causes and remedies.
In this investigation they have called upon a number of experts with relevant expertise, including Nathan Myhrvold, a former colleague of Professor Stephen Hawking at Cambridge, who went on to become Bill Gates' futurist-in-chief at Microsoft; and Ken Caldeira, an ecologist from Stanford University and contributor to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Caldeira points out that if our concern is for the planet, and if we choose to measure that concern by biodiversity, then increases in carbon dioxide can be a positive benefit. A rise in atmospheric CO2 means that plants need less by way of water for their growth; Caldera's study demonstrated that doubling the amount of carbon dioxide, while holding steady all other inputs, such as water and nutrients, yielded a 70 per cent increase in plant growth. This would not come remotely as a surprise to people of my generation, who were taught at school that carbon dioxide was the lifeblood of plants, but will perhaps be a shock to the present generation of schoolchildren who are being lectured that man-made CO2 is tantamount to poison.

Electromagnetic Black Hole created
An electromagnetic "black hole" that sucks in surrounding light has been built for the first time.
The device, which works at microwave frequencies, may soon be extended to trap visible light, leading to an entirely new way of harvesting solar energy to generate electricity.
A theoretical design for a table-top black hole to trap light was proposed in a paper published earlier this year by Evgenii Narimanov and Alexander Kildishev of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. Their idea was to mimic the properties of a cosmological black hole, whose intense gravity bends the surrounding space-time, causing any nearby matter or radiation to follow the warped space-time and spiral inwards.
Narimanov and Kildishev reasoned that it should be possible to build a device that makes light curve inwards towards its centre in a similar way. They calculated that this could be done by a cylindrical structure consisting of a central core surrounded by a shell of concentric rings.
There's no escape
The key to making light curve inwards is to make the shell's permittivity – which affects the electric component of an electromagnetic wave – increase smoothly from the outer to the inner surface. This is analogous to the curvature of space-time near a black hole. At the point where the shell meets the core, the permittivity of the ring must match that of the core, so that light is absorbed rather than reflected.
Now Tie Jun Cui and Qiang Cheng at the Southeast University in Nanjing, China, have turned Narimanov and Kildishev's theory into practice, and built a "black hole" for microwave frequencies. It is made of 60 annular strips of so-called "meta-materials", which have previously been used to make invisibility cloaks.
Each strip takes the form of a circuit board etched with intricate structures whose characteristics change progressively from one strip to the next, so that the permittivity varies smoothly. The outer 40 strips make up the shell and the inner 20 strips make up the absorber.
"When the incident electromagnetic wave hits the device, the wave will be trapped and guided in the shell region towards the core of the black hole, and will then be absorbed by the core," says Cui. "The wave will not come out from the black hole." In their device, the core converts the absorbed light into heat.
Quick work
Narimanov is impressed by Cui and Cheng's implementation of his design. "I am surprised that they have done it so quickly," he says.
Fabricating a device that captures optical wavelengths in the same way will not be easy, as visible light has a wavelength orders of magnitude smaller than that of microwave radiation. This will require the etched structures to be correspondingly smaller.
Cui is confident that they can do it. "I expect that our demonstration of the optical black hole will be available by the end of 2009," he says.
Such a device could be used to harvest solar energy in places where the light is too diffuse for mirrors to concentrate it onto a solar cell. An optical black hole would suck it all in and direct it at a solar cell sitting at the core. "If that works, you will no longer require these huge parabolic mirrors to collect light," says Narimanov.

Say NO MORE to this rotten parliament – Protest on 5th November
I do not want to destroy Parliament, I want to reclaim it.And over on Old Holborns'
I want it cleansed of corruption, sleaze and nepotism. I want it to reflect the will of the people, not the vested interests of the UK/EU elite.
I do not want Brown and his government to hang on until May next year, I want them gone, now, with a new election, and a referendum now.
I ask you to stand beside me this November, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot.
This fifth of November, the plan is to recreate the mass masked gathering outside Parliament from the finale of the film ‘V For Vendetta’, to protest that there is something terribly wrong with this country.
12 Noon. November 5th. A simple short walk in the sunshine.

All is Fucking LOST!
Global Handwashing Day is a campaign to motivate and mobilize millions around the world to wash their hands with soap. The campaign is dedicated to raising awareness of handwashing with soap as a key approach to disease prevention. It was made at the annual World Water Week 2008, which was held in Stockholm from August 17 to 23 and initiated the Public Private Partnership for Handwashing (PPPHW). The Global Handwashing Day took place for the first time on October 15, 2008, the date appointed by UN General Assembly in accordance with year 2008 as the International Year of Sanitation.[1]They even have a fucking logo!

Flu vaccines revealed as the greatest quackery ever pushed in the history of medicine
If the whole world knew what you're about to read here, the vaccine industry would collapse overnight.
This information comes to you courtesy of a brilliant article published in The Atlantic (November 2009). The article, written by Shannon Brownlee and Jeanne Lenzer, isn't just brilliant; in my opinion it stands as the best article on flu vaccines that has ever been published in the popular press. Entitled Does the vaccine matter?, it presents some of the most eye-opening information you've probably ever read about the failure of flu vaccines. You can read the full article here: http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/2009...
Perhaps its impressive narrative shouldn't be too surprising, though, since writer Shannon Brownlee is also the celebrated author of a phenomenal book on modern medicine entitled Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (http://www.amazon.com/Overtreated-M...) (http://www.naturalpedia.com/book_Ov...).
While I've never done this before, I'm going to summarize this article point by point (along with some comments) so that you get the full force of what's finally been put into print.
This information is so important that I encourage you to share the following summary I've put together. Email it to family, friends and coworkers. Or post it on your blog or website (with a link and proper credit to both NaturalNews and The Atlantic, please). Get this information out to the world. People need to know this, and so far the mainstream media has utterly failed to make this information known.
(The really good information begins after around a dozen bullet points, so be sure to keep reading...)

Humans are evil, elites must take control of human race
Climate change sceptics are to be targeted in a hard-hitting government advertising campaign that will be the first to state unequivocally that Man is causing global warming and endangering life on Earth.Because people are thick and spineless. Too thick to even realise that CO2 vital for photosynthesis, and that the global temperature has not risen since 1998, but this is not about science, this is what it is about;
The £6 million campaign, which begins tonight in the prime ITV1 slot during Coronation Street, is a direct response to government research showing that more than half the population think that climate change will have no effect on them.
Ministers sanctioned the campaign because of concern that scepticism about climate change was making it harder to introduce carbon-reducing policies such as higher energy bills.
The advertisement attempts to make adults feel guilty about their legacy to their children. It features a father telling his daughter a bedtime story of "a very very strange" world with "horrible consequences" for today's children.
The storybook shows a British town deep under water, with people and animals drowning. Carbon dioxide is depicted as rising in clouds of black soot from cars and homes, including from a woman's hairdryer. The soot gathers into a jagged-toothed monster menacing the town.
The daughter asks her father if the story has a happy ending and a voiceover cuts in, saying: "It's up to us how the story ends" and directs viewers to the Government’s Act on CO2 website.
Now, let me get this straight ... the government is pissing away £6,000,000 of our money on this facile propaganda in a bid to convince us that we need to pay higher energy bills? Why are we not rising up and slaughtering these people?

Every Microsoft Windows machine accessible by NSA
Heiss - A CARELESS mistake by Microsoft programmers has revealed that special access codes prepared by the US National Security Agency have been secretly built into Windows. The NSA access system is built into every version of the Windows operating system now in use, except early releases of Windows 95 (and its predecessors). The discovery comes close on the heels of the revelations earlier this year that another US software giant, Lotus, had built an NSA "help information" trapdoor into its Notes system, and that security functions on other software systems had been deliberately crippled.
The first discovery of the new NSA access system was made two years ago by British researcher Dr Nicko van Someren. But it was only a few weeks ago when a second researcher rediscovered the access system. With it, he found the evidence linking it to NSA.
Computer security specialists have been aware for two years that unusual features are contained inside a standard Windows software "driver" used for security and encryption functions. The driver, called ADVAPI.DLL, enables and controls a range of security functions. If you use Windows, you will find it in the C:Windowssystem directory of your computer.
ADVAPI.DLL works closely with Microsoft Internet Explorer, but will only run cryptographic functions that the US governments allows Microsoft to export. That information is bad enough news, from a European point of view. Now, it turns out that ADVAPI will run special programmes inserted and controlled by NSA. As yet, no-one knows what these programmes are, or what they do.
Dr Nicko van Someren reported at last year's Crypto 98 conference that he had disassembled the ADVADPI driver. He found it contained two different keys. One was used by Microsoft to control the cryptographic functions enabled in Windows, in compliance with US export regulations. But the reason for building in a second key, or who owned it, remained a mystery.
A second key
Two weeks ago, a US security company came up with conclusive evidence that the second key belongs to NSA. Like Dr van Someren, Andrew Fernandez, chief scientist with Cryptonym of Morrisville, North Carolina, had been probing the presence and significance of the two keys. Then he checked the latest Service Pack release for Windows NT4, Service Pack 5. He found that Microsoft's developers had failed to remove or "strip" the debugging symbols used to test this software before they released it. Inside the code were the labels for the two keys. One was called "KEY". The other was called "NSAKEY".
Fernandes reported his re-discovery of the two CAPI keys, and their secret meaning, to "Advances in Cryptology, Crypto'99" conference held in Santa Barbara. According to those present at the conference, Windows developers attending the conference did not deny that the "NSA" key was built into their software. But they refused to talk about what the key did, or why it had been put there without users' knowledge.
A third key?!
But according to two witnesses attending the conference, even Microsoft's top crypto programmers were astonished to learn that the version of ADVAPI.DLL shipping with Windows 2000 contains not two, but three keys. Brian LaMachia, head of CAPI development at Microsoft was "stunned" to learn of these discoveries, by outsiders. The latest discovery by Dr van Someren is based on advanced search methods which test and report on the "entropy" of programming code.
Within the Microsoft organisation, access to Windows source code is said to be highly compartmentalized, making it easy for modifications to be inserted without the knowledge of even the respective product managers.
Researchers are divided about whether the NSA key could be intended to let US government users of Windows run classified cryptosystems on their machines or whether it is intended to open up anyone's and everyone's Windows computer to intelligence gathering techniques deployed by NSA's burgeoning corps of "information warriors".
According to Fernandez of Cryptonym, the result of having the secret key inside your Windows operating system "is that it is tremendously easier for the NSA to load unauthorized security services on all copies of Microsoft Windows, and once these security services are loaded, they can effectively compromise your entire operating system". The NSA key is contained inside all versions of Windows from Windows 95 OSR2 onwards.
"For non-American IT managers relying on Windows NT to operate highly secure data centres, this find is worrying", he added. "The US government is currently making it as difficult as possible for "strong" crypto to be used outside of the US. That they have also installed a cryptographic back-door in the world's most abundant operating system should send a strong message to foreign IT managers".
"How is an IT manager to feel when they learn that in every copy of Windows sold, Microsoft has a 'back door' for NSA - making it orders of magnitude easier for the US government to access your computer?" he asked.
Can the loophole be turned round against the snoopers?
Dr van Someren feels that the primary purpose of the NSA key inside Windows may be for legitimate US government use. But he says that there cannot be a legitimate explanation for the third key in Windows 2000 CAPI. "It looks more fishy", he said.
Fernandez believes that NSA's built-in loophole can be turned round against the snoopers. The NSA key inside CAPI can be replaced by your own key, and used to sign cryptographic security modules from overseas or unauthorised third parties, unapproved by Microsoft or the NSA. This is exactly what the US government has been trying to prevent. A demonstration "how to do it" program that replaces the NSA key can be found on Cryptonym's website.
According to one leading US cryptographer, the IT world should be thankful that the subversion of Windows by NSA has come to light before the arrival of CPUs that handles encrypted instruction sets. These would make the type of discoveries made this month impossible. "Had the next-generation CPU's with encrypted instruction sets already been deployed, we would have never found out about NSAKEY."

• SUBVERSION OF EUROPEAN NATIONS, SUBVERSION OF THE UNITED STATES
IRISH ELECTORAL LAW FLOUTED, CANCELLING OUT THE RESULT
Our published information that the Irish Referendum on the dictatorial Lisbon Treaty was rigged, is ACCURATE. However at the time of the Update to the report dated 2nd October (see below) we hadn’t yet obtained details of the WAY the Referendum was rigged and influenced in favour of the treacherous YES lobby. We now have this information.
This is how the Irish were ‘persuaded’ to change their minds:
(1): Chaos and confusion, by design, at the count:
VIDEO CLIP SHOWS CHAOS AT REFERENDUM COUNT IN CORK
The chaos which appears to have accompanied the premature delivery of the Referendum ballot boxes (enabling them to be pre-stuffed: see below), is confirmed on this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq-OhRZX8dw
The video shows the front of Cork City Hall, Anglesea Street, Cork, Eire, at 10.33 PM on Friday 2nd October 2009. The video's written commentary explains that there is no security either outside or inside the building as people arrive carrying ballot boxes with others walking in empty-handed (presumably to count the votes), and all walk inside. Nobody is challenged by any official who is seemingly in authority. The scene is chaotic. People are seen coming out of the building as well.
One man is seen going in empty-handed, and coming out with what is pretty obviously a ballot box. The camera operator does not follow him, so the man disappears out of camera shot. Seconds later he returns with the ballot box (there is no way of knowing if it is even the same one) and then takes it back inside the building.
The camera operator goes inside the building (unchallenged). He films people arriving, milling around, talking to each other. There are rows of chairs set out and some tables set up (for the counting of ballot papers). Again, no one seems to check whether those inside are there officially, as no one seems to be in charge. There is no sign of a Returning Officer or of electoral officials. People move in and out of the hall.
One man is heard singing a song which appears to make fun of those who have voted NO in the Referendum. The sound quality is poor.
The written commentary adds:
'There were so many people coming and going unchallenged, that it would have been quite simple to take their box of Referendum votes in privacy (sic) for anything up to 10 to 15 minutes, and it would not have been detected'.
The written commentary concludes:
'ANYONE COULD HAVE INTERFERED WITH THE BALLOT BOXES'.
(2): Ballot boxes may have been stuffed prior to the Referendum polling booths opening.
Specifically:
• Under Irish law, ballot boxes are required to be delivered by members of the garda (police) to the polling stations at 7:00 am on the date the election takes place.
• This legal requirement applies to ALL polling in Ireland, whether elections or referenda.
• On this occasion, however, the ballot boxes were delivered to the private residences of the polling/Returning Officers, 48 hours prior to the Referendum.
• A number of honest Returning Officers formally objected to this BREACH OF PROCEDURE, and to the concomitant prospective breach of security, let alone of the electoral legislation.
• We understand that such objections were officially dismissed out of hand on the spurious and diversionary grounds that the ballot boxes possessed no commercial value, so it would be in nobody’s commercial interest to steal them.
• The central issue – that since the Irish ballot boxes were delivered 48 hours early they could be ‘stuffed’ with YES votes, as routinely happens in places like the former Soviet Republic of Georgia – was of course not addressed.
• It follows that, given that the local electoral law was flouted, THE OUTCOME OF THE IRISH REFERENDUM IS FRAUDULENT AND MUST IMMEDIATELY BE DECLARED NULL AND VOID.
• Furthermore, the following questions NEED TO BE ANSWERED IMMEDIATELY:
ONE: What is the total number of registered voters in Ireland?
TWO: How many voters voted in the Referendum?
THREE: Was the total vote tally greater than #One AND/OR #Two above?
FOUR: If either or both apply, do 'phantom', stolen and/or 'dead people's' votes count?
• Any operation to steamroller the Lisbon Treaty (after the Polish and Czech Governments have been bribed by the Germans) will accordingly be FRAUDULENT on this basis alone.
• It will therefore follow that ALL MEASURES taken under the Lisbon Treaty will likewise be illegal – not that this is anything new, as the European Union Collective is itself blatantly illegal, not least because the Treaty of Rome documents were never properly signed (given that several attendees signed blank sheets of paper because their translations were not available at the time of signing).
(3): Blatant American interference in the internal affairs of Ireland:
• INTEL (which is of course a US intelligence community operation, as its name implies) advertised heavily for a YES vote, promoting the FALSE assessment that if the Irish voted NO, ‘Ireland could be left isolated from the European Single Market at a time when the economy needs support’ (1) (because it has been ENRONISED by the Syndicate, as previously explained in these reports).
• That assertion was a blatant falsehood. The Single Market operates under the successive treaties of the fraudulent EU Collective, the currently applicable one being the Nice Treaty. Therefore, whether Lisbon was approved or not would make no difference at all.
• Thus the CIA’s INTEL was LYING TO THE IRISH PEOPLE.
On the basis of this precedent, we presume that the United States would have no objection if, say, the British were to buy newspaper space and broadcast time to lobby for a given outcome every time the United States goes to the polls.
(One can imagine how FURIOUS Americans would be if we tried any such outrage).
• This blatant US intelligence community interference in Irish internal affairs by the engine of instability which has ravaged the Irish financial economy represents yet another odious example of the notorious tendency for the CIA to interfere in the domestic affairs of other countries in pursuit of its own selfish objectives – in this case, shoring up the prospectively disintegrating European wing of the TWIN DVD operation to assert the hegemony of pan-German long-range control strategy on the two main victors of the World Wars, Britain and America.
• Unsurprisingly, letters are now appearing in the press [as for instance in The Sunday Telegraph of 4th October] making our point that the so-called Special Relationship is a total farce and has been for decades, as the United States routinely treats Britain with contempt: as, for instance, by allowing the DVD-activated IRA and its splinters to raise money in the United States for the purpose of murdering British citizens and troops en masse.
• The fraudulent Irish Referendum outcome theoretically destroys residual British sovereignty, given that the EU exists explicitly to usurp and hijack the sovereignty of its satrap ‘Member States’: see the Editor’s work ‘The European Union Collective: Enemy of its Member States’ [available from the Edward Harle Limited books segment of this website].
ILLEGAL BLUEPRINT FOR THE INTENDED EUROPEAN GESTAPO
Officials in Brussels have ALREADY set up a Committee on Internal Security (COSI) under the Lisbon Treaty EVEN THOUGH THE LISBON TREATY HAS NOT BEEN RATIFIED. THIS IS ANOTHER BLATANTLY ILLEGAL ACT which renders ALL operations of this Stalinist-sounding revolutionary oppression mechanism ILLEGAL in perpetuity.
• It also calls into question the very purpose of the Irish Referendum itself, raising the rhetorical question: what is the point of bothering the Irish electorate with this latest insult to their tranquillity and intelligence, if the EU’s bureaucrats, who are ANSWERABLE TO NOBODY, have been going ahead with provisions of the Lisbon Treaty even though it has not been ratified?
(They have been doing this in many other areas, too).
• Of course, the purpose of the Irish Referendum to get the insulted Irish electorate to change its mind from the verdict that it handed down in the Referendum of June 2008 is purely and simply to provide the intended illegitimate and illegal operations of the EU Collective with a false veneer of ‘legitimacy’, in the knowledge that the lazy and sycophantic so-called ‘mainstream’ media will just cow-tow and go along with these obnoxious illegalities. In so doing, journalists are validating the illegal behaviour of the manipulators that we have identified.
• Under the illegal COSI blueprint (in which, of course, as usual, the treacherous, revolutionary British authorities participated illegally), law enforcement and “public security organizations” will share intelligence, material from Internet surveillance, and other elements of national security arrangements, acquiring powers over the satrap Member States’ police and security services (2).
• A spokesman for the European Civil Liberties Network, Tony Bunyan, summarised the position correctly with the following statement. The COSI arrangements, implemented illegally PRIOR TO RATIFICATION of the Lisbon Treaty, represented a step towards an ‘EU Home Office or Interior Ministry without any democratic control’. Making the mistake of accepting this outrage as a fait accompli, he nevertheless elaborated:
‘It is outrageous that the rôle of the new EU Internal Security Committee has been decided in secret. If COSI becomes a high-level legislative body, a swathe of decision-making and practice will be removed from democratic debate’.
• The Lisbon Treaty WHICH HAS NOT BEEN RATIFIED, provides that: ‘A standing committee shall be set up within the [European] Council in order to ensure that operational co-operation on internal security is promoted and strengthened within the union’.
• ‘Unbelievably’ (but then again, NOT), an unnamed official involved in this treasonous activity said: ‘Sometimes it is better not to spell things out too much in order to keep flexibility and to allow officials the creativity of a blank slate’. Translation from weasel-language into jackboot Nazi-speak:
• 'We require absolute unfettered carte blanche to impose our dictatorship upon the satrap peoples of Europe and we won’t brook any interference with our stolen prerogative to saddle them with a control régime which will ensure our total hegemony, whether they like it or not’.
NOTORIOUS IRISH EUROPHILE HINTS AT THIS WEBSITE
The former Attorney General of Ireland and now Chairman of British Petroleum, a man notorious for his slavish ideological support for the European Union Collective, Peter Sutherland, was reported on 4th October 2009 to have made the following statement as soon as the rigged Irish Referendum outcome had been announced:
‘This is an outstanding victory for common sense. It was the result of dispelling myths, some of which emanated from the United Kingdom. This was a great achievement with a government in some difficulty and a vital step forward for Ireland’.
• However the YES lobby dispensed MYTHS on a prodigious scale, the primary myth being the lie, identified above, that ‘Ireland could be left isolated from the European Single Market’, when in fact the outcome of the Referendum would and could MAKE NO DIFFERENCE.
• Sutherland, who hates the likes of us, hinted that what we say about the European Commission being a criminal enterprise, is false. In that case, Mr Sutherland, we suggest that you should take the matter up (a) with the UK Serious Fraud Office in London [see our reports dated 2nd October and 16th/20th September 2009]; and (b) with the European Court of Auditors in Luxembourg [see our report dated 2nd October 2009].
YES, THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION IS A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE
For, as discussed in our report dated 2nd October, the executive arm of the European Union Collective is a CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE, given that its financial accounts have been specifically DISAPPROVED by the EU’s own Court of Auditors for the past 14 financial years running. For the record, we repeat the information on this subject contained in that report:
• OPEN-ENDED EUROPEAN COMMISSION CORRUPTION:
As previously reported by this service, the accounts of the European Commission have been rejected FOR THE PAST 14 YEARS RUNNING by the European Union's own expert Court of Auditors. This means that the European Commission, which is an illegitimate corporate entity anyway, is a CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE. It must be continually exposed as such.
Further, the UK Serious Fraud Office have specifically CONFIRMED that remittance of taxpayers' funds into the hands of a criminal enterprise IS OF COURSE ITSELF A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.
What is more, our Irish associate, Richard Sharpe, visited the Court of Auditors in Luxembourg recently and obtained SPECIFIC CONFIRMATION from an official there, MR GEZA NOVACS, who told Richard that quote 'the European Accounts have not been signed off ('qualified') for fourteen years or more' unquote.
That is to say, THEY ARE INDEED FRAUDULENT.
Given this state of affairs, the European Commission's accounts CAN NEVER BE RECTIFIED. For that to happen, it would be necessary to go back to the last set of accounts that WAS APPROVED (15 YEARS AGO) and to work through all the detail, identifying the frauds and perpetrators of fraud, initiating proceedings against them, revealing every single theft and misappropriation in Notes to the Accounts, and implementing the necessary accounting adjustments. This operation would take years and of course IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
THEREFORE the European Commission will remain a CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE IN PERPETUITY.
This was all reported in the exposure analysis posted here on 16th/20th September. The relevant text was reappended as Note 1 to the report dated 2nd October [Archive].
•NOTE: We understand that our reiteration of these painful realities is now causing the Eurocracy and the free-wheeling anti-nation state 'Useful Idiot' Europhile community considerable disquiet.
AND WE REPEAT HERE THE UPDATE APPENDED TO THE 2ND OCTOBER REPORT
UPDATE, 4th October 2009:
IRISH LISBON TREATY REFERENDUM 'WAS RIGGED'
Our very informed sources state AS FACT that the Irish Referendum on the Lisbon Treaty has been rigged. The article below, as you may have noticed, was angled so as to seek to persuade voters to see sense. But the nests of serpents with which we are dealing are dense. The European Union and its Commission are criminal enterprises, after all: this insufferable Germanic institution exists for the sole purpose of hijacking and usurping BY STEALTH its satrap 'Member States'' national sovereignty. That is its ENTIRE purpose, as is explained in the Editor's exhaustive European study entitled 'The European Union Collective: Enemy of its Member States' (2002) [available from this website: see Edward Harle Limited Books segment].
It is AN IMMENSE, LONG-RANGE GRADUALIST OPERATION, aided and abetted by traitors inside the European national political and bureaucratic establishments, modelled on Hitler's 'Coup d'etat by installments'. That phrase was originally coined by a German living in the United States, Konrad Heiden, and published in his book 'Der Fuehrer', Boston, 1944, on page 579, cited in 'Thirty Days: Hitler's Thirty Days to Power, January 1933', by the US author, Henry Ashby Turner Jr. [Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Inc., Reading, MA and New York, 1996].
In a remarkable new study (3), the Regius Professor of Modern History at Cambridge University, Richard J. Evans, explains, amid his horrific and meticulous accounts of the routine atrocities perpetrated by the internally feuding Nazis and their gauleiters (going far, far beyond what the general public holds in its eroding collective memory), that the most conspicuous and perpetual feature of the Nazi regime was: RAMPANT CORRUPTION, PILLAGING, STEALING, GRAFT AND CONVERSION/DIVERSION OF ASSETS: in other words, WHAT WE HAVE BEEN RECORDING.
• Moreover the gauleiters and their associates STOLE FROM AND RANSACKED EACH OTHER.
• Does that sound familiar? Of course it does. THAT'S WHAT THESE NAZIS DO.
And it is this CORRUPTION that has survived to destabilise the whole world in OUR TIME.
BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION MORE EFFICIENT THAN BLITZKRIEG
Because what has happened is that these Nazis, using the big German, Swiss and French banks, and the Vatican, later to be joined by British institutions, found that BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION, which came naturally to them anyway, was a more efficient means of achieving their demented hegemony objectives than military force and Blitzkrieg.
Had the Editor not discovered and experienced this from INSIDE THE SNAKE DEN, we wouldn't have been in a position to expose this behaviour 'from within'. Our unspeakable experience, therefore, was 'meant to happen', so that these exposures could be framed and published in our journal and on this website for the whole world to see and understand.
• The point here being that FRAUD, BRIBERY AND BALLOT-RIGGING go hand in hand with the sick Fraudulent Finance practices proliferated originally by the pan-German FIFTH COLUMN inside the US Intelligence Power, WHICH IS A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE.
SUBVERSION OF EUROPEAN NATIONS, SUBVERSION OF THE UNITED STATES
The 'Coup d'etat by installments' in Europe is the TWIN OPERATION, running in parallel with Nazi subversion of the United States by the same operatives, masterminded by the long-range strategic deception 'Black' Nazi Continuum agency based at Dachau, which operates 'independently' of the German Chancellor. Obviously, Hitler's 'Coup d'etat by installments' was implemented over a much shorter timeframe: BUT THE PRINCIPLE IS THE SAME. The rigged Irish Referendum outcome is just another dirty step towards the imminent smothering of the residual sovereignty of the once great nations of Europe, with Britain ALWAYS seen by the pan-German snakes as the main target.
On page 164 of 'Thirty Days', the author described Hitler's 'Coup d'etat by Installments' as follows:
'Only by banning the Communist deputies and by resorting to intimidation and mendacity did Hitler secure on March 23 the necessary two-thirds vote in the new Reichstag for an Enabling Act that transferred legislative authority to his Cabinet, ostensibly for four years. A wave of Nazi purges followed, as one institution after another was subjugated. Arbitrary rule replaced government by law in what has aptly been termed a "Coup d'etat by installments"'.
'By summer, all parties except the Nazis had been dissolved, Hugenberg had been forced out of the Cabinet and Hitler had relegated Papen to insignificance by winning the trust of the President. Even earlier Goering had wrested from Papen control over the government of the largest state, Prussia. Well before the Nazi leader assumed the powers of the Presidency upon the death of Hindenburg in August 1934, he had become dictator of Germany'.
THIS IS THE MODEL, OPERATING IN GRADUALIST MODE, THAT IS BEING DEPLOYED TO SUBVERT THE RESIDUAL SOVEREIGNTY OF THE STUPID EUROPEAN NATIONS, LED BY TRAITORS AND DESPICABLE DUMKOPFS WITHIN THE NATIONAL STRUCTURES, WHO HAVE CONFUSED COOPERATION WITH SOCIALIST ‘COLLECTIVISATION’ (4).
That the Irish Referendum has been rigged is therefore NO SURPRISE. For we are dealing with ruthless crooks, which is why they are keen on having the British deceiver, intelligence operative and crook, Tony BLIAR, as their first President, to match that disgusting little Portuguese operative, Barroso. Stand by now for consequences similar, in the contemporary context, to those events that followed Hitler's acquisition of GENERAL POWERS from the Legislature by means of INTIMIDATION and MENDACITY, the techniques which, with bribery, have been used to rig the Referendum (5).

Although the Editor carefully avoided confronting Hurd until the end of the flight, he established that Hurd valued British membership of the EU Collective because it fostered ‘cooperation’. However one can cooperate with an external party without getting into bed with them. It was further clear that, wittingly or not, he confused this naïve, mythical ideal of ‘cooperation’ – which suddenly evaporates when the Germans and French want their own way and browbeat all the other EU satrap states in order to get it – with the reality, namely CREEPING COLLECTIVISATION via ever-expanding oppressive regulation which is designed to usurp and destroy national sovereignty – the same objective as Lenin, Stalin and Hitler. So you can appreciate why these ‘Useful Idiots’ (as Lenin called all those who assist the World Revolution without realising what they are doing) are justly called TRAITORS.

EU setting up own Central Intelligence dept
Acting under a little-noticed section of the Lisbon Treaty, officials set up a Standing Committee on Internal Security (Cosi) to implement what is effectively the the EU's first ever internal security policy.
Under the plans, the scope of information available to law enforcement agencies and "public security organisations" would be extended from the sharing of DNA and fingerprint databases, kept and stored for new digital generation ID cards, to include CCTV footage and material gathered from internet surveillance.
Cosi will coordinate policy between national forces and EU organisations such as Europol, the Frontex borders agency, the European Gendarmerie Force and the Brussels intelligence sharing Joint Situation Centre, under measures known as the "Stockholm programme". It will sharply step up collaboration among member states' police forces.
The new commitee echoes similar moves a decade ago which led to the fully-fledged EU diplomatic service, now enshrined in the Lisbon Treaty, with an EU equivalent of the Foreign Secretary.
Critics fear that Cosi - whose establishment was agreed by national ambassadors to the EU, meeting in private - will eventually also evolve into a full-scale Home Office for the EU, with authority over member states' police and security services.
So, instead of the blatant insecurity of having personal information accessible by the 100,000's of public 'servants' in the UK it will now be accessible by fuck-knows-who all over the EU. Take note that EU Directives are responsible for the biometric passports and the underlying central system, which are all part of a bigger Global Population Register/ Database.

13 Facts About the Lisbon Treaty
Anthony Coughlan
The National Platform EU Research & Information Centre
21 August, 2009
Below for your information is a summary of 13 important things the Lisbon Treaty would do if it were to come into force, as well as a longer document which explains these points more fully.
These have been prepared with the help of authorities on Irish constitutional and European law, and you can take it that the facts they give on the Treaty and its consequences are accurate.
Lisbon’s proposal to give the Big States from 50-100% more voting power in making EU laws, while halving Ireland’s voting power to 0.8%, would be economically disastrous for us in face of the economic crisis, as Brussels, Frankfurt and the Big EU States insist on savage cut-backs being imposed on the Irish economy.
Summary of 13 things the Lisbon Treaty would do
The Lisbon Treaty …
1. Would be a power-grab by the Big States for control of the EU by basing EU law-making post-Lisbon primarily on population size. This would double Germany’s voting power in making European laws from its present 8% to 17%, increase Britain’s, France’s and Italy’s from 8% to 12% each, and halve Ireland’s vote to 0.8%. How does having 0.8% of a vote in making EU laws put Ireland “at the heart of Europe” ? Taoiseach Brian Cowen’s “guarantees” do not explain how having half as much influence in the EU as Ireland has today would induce the other Member States to listen to our concerns on unemployment and help to resolve the economic crisis in the interest of Irish companies, workers and farmers.
2.Would copperfasten the Laval and related judgements of the EU Court of Justice, which put the competition rules of the EU market above the rights of Trade Unions to enforce pay standards higher than the minimum wage for migrant workers. At the same time Lisbon would give the EU full control of immigration policy (Art.79 TFEU).
3. Would permit the post-Lisbon EU to impose Europe-wide taxes directly on us for the first time without need of further Treaties or referendums (Art.311 TFEU).
4. Would amend the existing treaties to give the EU exclusive power as regards rules on foreign direct investment (Arts.206-7 TFEU) and give the Court of Justice the power to order the harmonisation of national indirect taxes if it decides that this causes a “distortion of competition” in the market (Art.113 TFEU). These changes could undermine our 12.5% corporation profits tax, which is the principal attraction of Ireland for foreign business.
5. Would abolish our present right to “propose” and decide who Ireland’s Commissioner is , by replacing it with a right to make “suggestions” only, leaving it up to the incoming Commission President to decide (Art.17.7 TEU). Our No vote last year secured us a commitment to a permanent Commissioner, but what is the point of every EU State continuing to have its own Commissioner post-Lisbon when it can no longer decide who that Commissioner will be?
6. Would give the European Union the Constitution of an EU Federal State which would have primacy over the Irish and other national Constitutions. This post-Lisbon EU would for the first time be legally separate from and superior to its 27 Member States and would sign international treaties with other States in all areas of its powers (Arts.1 and 47 TEU; Declaration 17 concerning Primacy ). In constitutional terms Lisbon would thereby turn Ireland into a regional or provincial state within this new Federal-style European Union, with the EU’s Constitution and laws having legal primacy over the Irish Constitution and laws in any cases of conflict between the two.
7. Would turn us into real citizens for the first time of this new post-Lisbon European Union, owing obedience to its laws and loyalty to its authority over and above our obedience and loyalty to Ireland and the Irish Constitution and laws in the event of any conflict between the two. We would still keep our Irish citizenship, but it would be subordinate to our new EU citizenship and the rights and duties vis-a-vis the EU that would attach to that(Art.9 TEU).
8. Would give the EU Court of Justice the power to decide our rights as EU citizens by making the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights legally binding for the first time (Art.6 TEU) . This would give power to the EU judges to use their case law to lay down a uniform standard of rights for the 500 million citizens of the post-Lisbon Union in the name of a common EU citizenship in the years to come. It would open the possibility of clashes with national human rights standards in sensitive areas where Member States differ from one another at present, e.g. trial by jury, the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, habeas corpus, the legalisation of hard drugs, euthanasia, abortion, labour law, succession law, marriage law, children’s rights etc. Ireland’s Supreme Court and the Strasbourg Court of Human Rights would no longer have the final say on what our rights are.
9. Would abolish the national veto Ireland has at present by handing over to the EU the power to make laws binding on us in 32 new policy areas, including public services, crime, justice and policing, immigration, energy, transport, tourism, sport, culture, public health, the EU budget and international measures on climate change.
10. Would reduce the power of National Parliaments to make laws in relation to 49 policy areas or matters, and increase the influence of the European Parliament in making EU laws in 19 new areas (See euabc.eu for the two lists).
11. Would be a self-amending Treaty which would permit the EU Prime Ministers and Presidents to shift most remaining EU policy areas where unanimity is required and a national veto still exists - for example on tax harmonisation - to qualified majority voting on the EU Council of Ministers, without need of further EU Treaties or referendums(Art.48 TEU).
12. Would enable the 27 EU Prime Ministers to appoint an EU President for up to five years without allowing voters any say as to who he or she would be - thereby abolishing the present six-monthly rotating EU presidencies (Art.15.5 TEU).
13. Would militarize the EU further, requiring Member States “progressively to improve their military capabilities” (Art.42.3 TEU) and to aid and assist other Member States experiencing armed attack “by all the means in their power” (Art.42.7 TEU).
TEU = Treaty on European Union as amended by the Lisbon Treaty
TFEU = Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union as amended by the Lisbon Treaty
The most urgent task for those of us who want to defend Irish democracy, national independence and our ability to defend our economic interests in face of Lisbon is to take the initiative in adapting the information below and spreading it to our friends and neighbours between now and September, when the big guns of the Government and Yes-side will get going.
Maybe you and your friends and colleagues could set up a small canvassing team and use this material - not in two months time, but this week and next week and the week after that - to get the facts about Lisbon to the people in your area by going to see them and talking to them on their doorsteps? These facts can also be used in letters to the national and local press.
EXPLANATORY DOCUMENT ON LISBON
FACTS ON THE LISBON TREATY
By voting No we remain full members of the EU and of the euro currency based on the existing Nice Treaty, but we reject the proposed Lisbon Treaty as a step too far. Millions of our fellow Europeans who are being denied referendums on Lisbon by their politicians are hoping that we will say No again for their sakes. We can thereby open the way for a better Treaty for a better and more democratic Europe.
The economic crisis: All 27 EU Members are in economic crisis. Ireland is worse than most because of the borrowing binge, housing bubble and Bank bail-outs which were encouraged by the same golden circle of politicians and bankers as are now bringing us Lisbon Two. The crisis makes Lisbon’s model of a deregulated, privatised, let-it-rip EU economy quite out-of-date. Lisbon’s proposal to give the Big States from 50-100% more voting power in the EU, while halving Ireland’s voting power to 0.8% would be economically disastrous for us in face of the economic crisis, as Brussels, Frankfurt and the Big EU States insist on savage cut-backs being imposed on the Irish economy.
We remain full EU members: There is no question of Ireland being sidelined or pushed out of the EU or the euro-currency if we stand by our No to Lisbon. As Ireland’s EU Commissioner Charlie McCreevy said in Hot Press last December : “There is no provision in the existing treaties to isolate anybody. There is no provision to throw out anybody, unless unanimously all the existing members of the club agreed to throw you out. And I doubt, now or in the future, any Irish Government is going to unanimously agree to throw themselves out.”
Exactly the same Lisbon Treaty: Not a dot or comma of the Lisbon Treaty will be changed for Lisbon Two. If Lisbon comes into force it will be interpreted by the EU Court of Justice and not on the basis of political declarations by the EU Prime Ministers and Presidents. These do not change anything in the Treaty and are not legally binding as part of EU law. Promises of changes to suit Ireland in some future EU Treaty cannot pull back on anything in the Lisbon Treaty once it is in force. The EU Prime Ministers state that they “will clarify but not change either the content or the application of the Treaty of Lisbon “, which only the EU Court can decide on ( Summit Conclusions 19-6-2009). As pro-Lisbon journalist James Downey has written: “The antis are right about one thing, if one thing only. Any guarantees we may get on their concerns will be irrelevant, or worthless, or both.” ( Irish Independent, 21-3-2009)
Overturning the people’s vote: The Lisbon Treaty is the new legal form of the EU Constitution which French and Dutch voters rejected in their 2005 referendums. Irish voters rejected it in last year’s referendum by 53% to 47%. All genuine democrats, including Yes-side voters, should respect that vote as the French and Dutch Governments did. Respecting it would have meant Taoiseach Brian Cowen telling his EU partners that Ireland could not ratify Lisbon because the Irish people had voted No to it, so there was no point in their continuing to ratify it as EU Treaties must be unanimous. Instead Taoiseach Cowen and Foreign Minister Martin told the other EU Governments on the morning of last year’s count to ignore their own people’s vote and to continue with ratifying Lisbon.They persuaded their EU colleagues that they could get the Irish people to overturn their democratic No vote in a second referendum on exactly the same Treaty, if they got enough support from France, Germany etc. in the form of statements about Ireland’s concerns, even though the Treaty is unchanged.
Turning the EU into a State: Lisbon would be a giant step in turning the EU into a supranational Federal-style State, in which Ireland would effectively be reduced to regional or provincial status. It would give Government Ministers and the Big EU States huge new powers, while taking power away from ordinary citizens across the EU, and from the National Parliaments they elect. Because of our Constitution, only Ireland is being allowed a vote on it. Only we Irish can save democracy in the EU by refusing to allow ourselves be pressurised into overturning our rejection of Lisbon in 2008. If we vote No again in Lisbon Two we hold the door open to our fellow countrymen and women in Northern Ireland and give them the chance of having a say in a UK referendum next year.
Denying citizens a vote: France’s President Sarkozy and EU Commissioner Charlie McCreevy have admitted that if Lisbon were put to referendum in other EU countries their voters would reject it too. Although opinion polls show that people in most Member States want to decide for themselves whether they should be put under an EU Constitution which would override their National Constitutions, the EU Prime Ministers refused to allow referendums. This does not bode well for the future of democracy in the EU.

Ireland - Lisbon Treaty - A recap
Also includes Updates from the last vote, with additional information.
----------------------------------------
Why Ireland should vote No to the Lisbon Treaty
I am going to keep this simple.
Firstly, as I am sure people following the progress of the Lisbon Treaty will know, Ireland is the only country in the European Union who’s Constitution requires the ratification of the Treaty to be put to a public vote. Good. The re-wording of the original European Constitution to a Treaty in reality changes nothing of its content as the orignal Constitution is for all intents and purposes, intact in the Lisbon Treaty, albeit hidden. Disagree?
How about from the mouths of those whom one would expect to know, starting with the architect of the original Constitution, Valery Giscard d’Estaing, who states, in the Telegraph, 27 June 2007;
“This text is, in fact, a rerun of a great part of the substance of the Constitutional Treaty.”
He also appears in the Telegraph again where it is stated;
Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, the architect of the abandoned European Constitution, has admitted that the document has been rewritten by EU leaders in a different order just to avoid the need for referendums.
He made clear that the purpose of the rewritten Treaty (now called the Lisbon Treaty) was to make people think the new version did not merit being put to the people in referendums.
“Above all, it is to avoid having referendums thanks to the fact that the articles are spread out and constitutional vocabulary has been removed,” he added.
Here some more quotes, from an earlier article of mine;
Germany
“The substance of the Constitution is preserved. That is a fact.”
(Angela Merkel, German Chancellor, Telegraph, 29 June 2007)Spain
“We have not let a single substantial point of the Constitutional Treaty go… It is, without a doubt, much more than a treaty. This is a project of foundational character, a treaty for a new Europe.”
(Jose Zapatero, Spanish Prime Minister, speech, 27 June 2007)Ireland
“90 per cent of it is still there… these changes haven’t made any dramatic change to the substance of what was agreed back in 2004.”
(Bertie Ahern, Irish Taoiseach, Irish Independent, 24 June 2007)The European Commission
“It’s essentially the same proposal as the old Constitution.”
(Margot Wallstrom, EU Commissioner, Svenska Dagbladet, 26 June 2007)
And so on… So yes, it is all still there, just a different lick of paint and buried in other documents you have probably never read either.
But what is there exactly? What does the Lisbon Treaty mean for Brussels, and for its member states (who apart from Ireland, were all refused a say on the Treaty because the People were overwhelmingly against it).
In a nutshell;
An analysis by Prof. Anthony Coughlan
Today the European Union leaders signed the Lisbon Treaty. This treaty gives the EU the constitutional form of a state. These are the ten most important things the Lisbon Treaty does:
1. It establishes a legally new European Union in the constitutional form of a supranational European State.
2. It empowers this new European Union to act as a State vis-a-vis other States and its own citizens.
3. It makes us all citizens of this new European Union.
4. To hide the enormity of the change, the same name – European Union – will be kept while the Lisbon Treaty changes fundamentally the legal and constitutional nature of the Union.
5. It creates a Union Parliament for the Union’s new citizens.
6. It creates a Cabinet Government of the new Union.
7. It creates a new Union political President.
8. It creates a civil rights code for the new Union’s citizens.
9. It makes national Parliaments subordinate to the new Union.
10. It gives the new Union self-empowerment powers.
The complete article (which should definitely be read) is revealingly named ‘These Boots Are Gonna Walk All Over You‘ and is located here.
So, what to do? Your government is telling you to vote Yes (although they would much rather just refused you a vote altogether), many unions and groups are campaigning against the Treaty, not sure what you are going to do? Firstly, I strongly suggest you use your vote. This Treaty will give the EU superior powers over all of your Laws (including your Constitution). This is a FACT. The European Union is just dying to expand the EU into North Africa and accelerate its expansion. Also a FACT. The French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner is currently threatening Ireland at the prospect of you guys and gals kicking the elitists in Brussels where it hurts. Apparently;
Mr Kouchner said that a “No” vote would be met by “gigantic incomprehension” in the rest of Europe.
That is a lie. It is also a blanket statement made by one politician who claims to speak for Europe which is strange considering the Lisbon Treaty was crafted specifically to stop the People having a say on it. He is just trying to use the spectre of Europe as a battering ram to frighten you into capitulating to the demands of Brussels. In truth however;
75% of people in the EU want a referendum on any new treaty which gives more powers to the EU. In the UK, 83% would want a vote to be held. A majority in all 27 countries would want a referendum.
Which brings me to my final points. The first is, what is so democratic and freedom-loving about threatening countries who may disagree with the EU? The little dictator-in-training continued;
“It would be very, very, very troubling…that we could not count on the Irish, who themselves have counted a lot on Europe’s money,”
So the EU was just pretending to be helpful, when in reality it was trying to set Ireland up to leverage power from them in the future. Sounds like the antics of a loan shark doesn’t it? This brings me to my final point.
Whether you currently think Yes or No, there is a 99.9% change that you do not really know what is in the Treaty. I don’t mean you couldn’t understand it, I just mean that you haven’t read it. This is not surprising considering the EU is refusing to allow member governments to publish readable versions of the Treaty until it is completely ratified!
So when you go to vote, just imagine you are in a bank to sign a contract on a home you already own. The suit across the table is trying to convince you to sign it. The document you have is literally unreadable. You are not sure what is in it, but you do know that at the very least it will result in massive changes in the way you can govern your own home. You don’t know how though. You don’t know how much it will cost in the future or what direction it will take either. But you do know that signing this contract means the rules you used to live by will now become secondary to the rules of that Bank. But you don’t know what the Bank’s rules are. You do know that the Banks accounts have not been signed off for at least the past 14 years because of rampant corruption and misuse of funds. You do know that a very large number of people are against the EU’s legal framework and the Lisbon Treaty. You do know that the contract contains a self amendment clause (Article 48) which will enable them to;
give the EU powers to amend its own treaties, without recourse to an intergovernmental conference or a new Treaty. It is also unclear whether this ’simplified revision procedure’ would be subject to a referendum.
These are some other things you do know, from the National Platform EU Research and Information Centre via Wise Up Journal (each point in explained in detail in the source article);
1. Lisbon makes the EU Constitution superior to the Irish Constitution in all areas of EU law.
2. Lisbon gives the EU the constitutional form of a supranational European Federal State and turns Ireland and the other Member States into regions or provinces of this Federation.
3. Lisbon shifts influence over law-making and decision-taking in the EU towards the Big States and away from the smaller ones like Ireland.
4. Lisbon removes Ireland’s right to a permanent EU Commissioner.
5. Lisbon deprives the Irish Government of its right to decide who Ireland’s Commissioner would be when it comes to our turn to be on the Commission.
6. Lisbon gives the European Union the power to make laws in 32 new areas that are removed from the Dail and other National Parliaments.
7. Lisbon is a self-amending Treaty which would open the way to harmonising Ireland’s company taxes.
8. Lisbon gives the EU the power to decide our human and civil rights.
9. Lisbon provides that if one-third of National Parliaments object to the Commission’s proposal for an EU law, the Commission must reconsider it, but not necessarily abandon it.
10. Lisbon militarizes the EU further.
Finally, if you think you can just opt out of it afterwards, think again;
David Cameron yesterday said it would be “almost impossible” to have a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty if it was already law in the UK and the rest of the EU.
So, would you still sign that contract or refuse to do so until you can appreciate the number of changes it may make and what the effects of those changes could be on your life and that of your community?
Go Ireland!

Another example of EU tactics. Samples below (my emphasis);
“The French white paper on EU defence has been ready for release since May, but the French government are withholding it until after the Irish referendum,” the MEP said, demanding that the text be released immediately.
The Lisbon Treaty states that Ireland is not obliged to take part in, or be bound by, decisions in the area of freedom, security and justice, such as military cooperation.
But Ms Sinnott insists that under the new treaty, Ireland could lose its long-cherished military neutrality. She points to a clause in the treaty which states that “member states shall undertake progressively to improve their military capabilities.”
“Even if the Lisbon Treaty gives us the right to keep our veto on sending Irish soldiers to the world’s hot spots under an EU flag, we would not have the right to refuse to join the EU arms race,” Ms Sinnott told EUobserver.
“In the name of solidarity with the other member states, we would have to keep our machinery up to date, send our military experts and increase defence spending. Irish tax-payers would have to pay for EU weaponry.“
Remember, this is before any ’self-amendments’ ( Article 48 ) which in theory could alter the structure of the Treaties completely, taking away whatever ‘opt outs’ countries like Ireland and the UK claim to have.
More information about this EU army from the BBC;
An influential Polish member of the European parliament has called for the EU to develop “hard power” and spend more money to build a European army.
Foreign affairs committee chairman Jacek Saryusz-Wolski also wants the European parliament to have the final say on deployments under the EU flag.
The French have said beefing up the EU’s military capability will be a key part of their six-month presidency.
And from the Daily Mail;
Moves to create a European Army controlled from Brussels have been revealed.
France is pushing for a new dedicated military headquarters and more fighting formations.
The French take over the EU presidency next month and will use their six-month term to drive forward ambitious plans to develop Europe’s own military structures – a move which critics claim will undermine Nato by excluding the U.S.
From Open Europe, these plans are revealed in the first page of their document entitled ‘The French EU Presidency 2008 – What to Expect, pdf download here;
The upcoming French Presidency of the EU, which begins on 1 July 2008, promises to
be busy and extremely ambitious.Nicolas Sarkozy’s top priorities for the six months include:
1) Laying the groundwork for an EU defence force and common EU defence policy;
2) Forging a common EU immigration and asylum policy;
3) Setting up the new institutions set out in the Lisbon Treaty – e.g. appointing a new EU foreign Minister and a permanent EU President ready to start work in January.Other priorities for the Presidency are: reaching agreement on EU proposals to combat
climate change; protecting French agriculture in negotiations on the CAP; and thrashing
out the shape of the proposed “Mediterranean Union.”
I thought I may add this, also from the above document;
The French also want to press ahead with EU measures on illegal immigration, including common policies for issuing visas to nationals from approved third countries. Jean-Pierre Jouyet has said: “We must also organise active cooperation in the fight against illegal immigration. For that, we need common practices in the field of issuing of visas. There are different attitudes among European countries. We will endeavor to define common standards for the issuing of visas for the nationals of a certain number of countries.” He said, “We must develop a common European approach regarding countries of origin – I am thinking of Africa, the Maghreb, and also our Mediterranean and central Asian neighbours.“
So they want to deal with illegal immigration by simply legalising it! And to encourage millions more economic migrants into the EU. Yes, it actually says that in the document;
Indeed part of the French plan will be to increase the proportion of economic migrants
coming to Europe. Nicolas Sarkozy has said these should make up 50% of entrants
(compared to 7% currently in France)
It gets worse and worse. No wonder they are trying to keep their plans quiet until after the referendum!

More information on the EU for you, from Prisonplanet and Paul Joseph Watson;
In light of tomorrow’s all important vote, it’s necessary to recap on the disturbing warning of former Soviet dissident Vladimir Bukovksy, who personally saw secret documents in 1992 which outlined a conspiracy to turn the European Union into a Socialist dictatorship.
In a 2006 speech in Brussels, 63-year old Vladimir Bukovksy described the content of still classified Politburo and Central Committee documents. The Soviet files outlined a plan from the mid-1980’s onwards to hijack the European Union and turn it into what Bukovksy calls the EUSSR, a totalitarian federal superstate with no accountability or direct representation. The policy was “a conspiracy, quite openly made by them, agreed upon, and worked out.”
“It is no accident that the European Parliament, for example, reminds me of the Supreme Soviet. It looks like the Supreme Soviet because it was designed like it. Similarly, when you look at the European Commission it looks like the Politburo. I mean it does so exactly, except for the fact that the Commission now has 25 members and the Politburo usually had 13 or 15 members. Apart from that they are exactly the same, unaccountable to anyone, not directly elected by anyone at all. When you look into all this bizarre activity of the European Union with its 80,000 pages of regulations it looks like Gosplan. We used to have an organisation which was planning everything in the economy, to the last nut and bolt, five years in advance. Exactly the same thing is happening in the EU. When you look at the type of EU corruption, it is exactly the Soviet type of corruption, going from top to bottom rather than going from bottom to top.”
Bukovksy warns that hate speech laws are being crafted to label anyone who disagrees with the EU or is deemed politically incorrect as racist, meaning imprisonment in facilities not so far removed from the psychiatric institutions which he endured in the 60’s and 70’s.
In regards to outlawing parties that are critical of the EU, here is more evidence from the Telegraph;
Plans to eliminate Eurosceptics as an organised opposition within the European Parliament are expected to be agreed by a majority of MEPs this summer.
Info regarding the legal precedence for this is here;
Political parties will be abolished, phased out or realigned. Only Pan European parties will be allowed. Independence parties will effectively be outlawed as under the 1999 ruling of the European Court Of Justice (case 274/99), it is illegal to criticize the EU. The EU will have the legal right to close National Parliaments and Assemblies.
And it looks like the EU is trying to bribe voters;
A newspaper advertisement for the Irish airline AerLingus has been described as a “blatant pre-referendum bribe” by Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party.
The advert, which promises free flights to Dublin “part financed by the European Union Peace and Reconciliation Programme”, comes as polls in Ireland over the Lisbon Treaty referendum are almost too close to call.
“For these ads to come out now, pretending to show the largesse of the EU, is extraordinary,” said Mr Farage. “They must be in breach of electoral rules so close to the vote.
“Free flights home paid for by the EU for the hundreds of thousands of Irish people in England ? This is a parody of normal democratic standards.
“What is more, for a European Commission that keeps on going on about green issues to finance free flights makes a mockery of its so-called green agenda.”
Will keep you posted on new information I find as I find it.
* * UPDATE 3 * *
Ireland, Save Us All From The EU Empire
These are details of the Treaty contents:
- reactivation of the death penalty. If police forces chiefs decide that a demonstration is part of a “civil disorder” these forces are allowed to use fire weapons against demonstrations.
- all national police forces are allowed to take action in all European countries.
- workers doing jobs in other EU countries will receive average wages of their country of origin. Meanwhile the corporate battle for even lower payment has begun already, all over Europe.
- constitutions of former independent republics will be suspended or outvoted by the EU Supreme Court, the “European Court”.
In fact, EU law will be above all, only alterable by the EU commission which actually is a circle of executive branches.
- only the assembly of heads of executive branches of 25 EU countries have the right to change this de-facto European “constitution” any time they like – by simple majority. Parliaments, congresses, and national constitution courthouses won´t be in charge of the process, won´t even be asked.
- all forces in all EU countries will have the “duty” of rearmament – as best as they can, payed by peoples taxes
* * UPDATE 4 * *
EU Observer is reporting that the No camp in Ireland is leading in the polls.
Rural and working class Ireland has strongly voted No to the Lisbon Treaty, and middle-class districts are not as robustly supporting the Yes side as analysts had predicted.
Dublin south west, north west, centre and north east – the latter a strongly middle-class area – have all broken 60 percent against the treaty. The Irish Times is reporting that Dublin south east has voted 70-30 for the No side.
The important thing is showing the dictators in Brussels and the rest of the nations of Europe that the People do not like where the EU is going. We need to keep up the pressure and keep explaining to people what the Lisbon Treaty actually contains. The federalist EUSSR masterplan must fail, for all our freedoms.
