“Remember, remember the fifth of November,

The gunpowder, treason and plot,

I know of no reason

Why gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot.”

[the invisib1e hand]

i didn't even know this happened.

it's much later than it seems.

this is how a country is taken over. well, one way. it's happening in a slightly different way "across the pond."

[P8riot]

11. The EU will decide if Britain will remain a US ally

[Crawdad]

Bloodshed is their only way out now.

[Earthdweller]

Heart breaking.

Nikita Kruschev’s Commie edict, “We will take you over without firing a shot.”

[Regulator]

At least they have a picture.

Will be good evidence at his treason trial.

This will be about as effective as The Articles of Confederation.

Either something is a country, or it’s not.

[Cicero]

It was no accident that the document Mr Brown signed yesterday was originally called a "Constitution", because it does mark a further very significant step towards what was always intended to be the ultimate goal of that process - the emergence of the EU as a fully-fledged government in its own right, as a direct counterpart, for instance, to the United States of America.

These guys just don't get it. The US Constitution was written by American Patriots from all the states. It was agreed to by elected representatives and ratified by the states, with due process.

This "constitution," a 200 page document that no one can understand, was written up by a bunch of French cheeses, several times rejected by the people, including the French, and then signed by a bunch of elitists without any popular mandate or parliamentary ratification.

The only word for it is bogus. It's goodbye to representative government for the people of Europe. They don't even have an Emperor whom they can hold responsible for errors, and who might have a conscience and a sense of Christian duty. Instead, they have a gang of faceless, unelected bureaucrats, who cannot be voted out and are not answerable to anyone.

The United States of Europe this is NOT.

"One of the most conspicuous ways in which this "country called Europe" will project itself on the world stage, and to us as its citizens, is that it will for the first time have a [unelected] permanent President, a powerful figurehead in office for up to five years.
We shall not yet be allowed to choose that President ourselves - he or she will be chosen for us by the "heads of government", the 27 prime ministers making up the European Council -

Remembering that power to propose-EU laws is already exercised solely by the unelected European Commission, another innovation is that for the first time each country will no longer have the right to be represented by its own Commissioner.

Europeons are kidding themselves if they think that one day they will elect this "president, or this "Council". They will remain the apointee's of the elite who in keeping with their UN goal of global governance by the liberal/Marxist elite- Will have the sole power to appoint these puppets figures.

The UK has finally done it. Signing that Agreement was the kiss of death for what was known (it no longer is an "is") as the UK)

[MrEdd]

A parcel o rogues

What force or guile could not subdue
Through many warlike ages
Is wraught now by a coward few
For hireling traitor's wages

Make yourself a sheep and you’ll find no lack of wolves

"we are to become citizens of this "Union" before anything else - just as the inhabitants of Texas are above all American citizens - with rights and duties overriding those attaching to our subordinate role as citizens of Britain.", & "[The president of the EU] will have his own diplomatic corps and worldwide embassies, intended gradually to replace those of individual countries such as Britain ..."

I'm sure this will be reflected in the UN - and Security Council - as soon as the papers are signed....No?

[spokeshave]

Notice he's signing about a third of the way in...

Is the last 2/3 the "clarifying" waeasel words....or is the first third the "pre-amble"....

In any case is too long by far.

[Jim Noble]

What is the constitutional basis for Mr. Brown to be signing such a thing in the first place?

He is not sovereign over England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland.

[Billthedrill]

Hang onto that picture. I have a hunch it just might attain the notoriety of the Chamberlain “Peace In Our Time” photo - and for the same reason.

[lowbridge]

“There will always be an England!” How wonderfully assuring that motto was, and how badly it has been betrayed by none other than the Brits.

the emergence of the EU as a fully-fledged government in its own right, as a direct counterpart, for instance, to the United States of America

The EU as a direct counterpart to the US: That was the whole point of it, after all. The US is so 'big' and 'bad', and the whole world is so afraid of us, that Europe wanted to merge all their separate powers into one big superpower, just to be able to contend with us. I don't know whether to feel sorry for them or not. We're obviously the whole reason for the EU's existence. This obviously has bad ramifications for us, specific ramifications that we are unaware of at this time. It also has bad ramifications for them (being overrun by the Muslim hordes, for one). But the European nations were willing to give up their sovereignty in order to become a superpower, to be able to match our power. That's why nations are clamoring to get in to the EU. It's sad, for the individual nations' loss of power, and for the eventual Muslim takeover (that's the way I think it's headed). I feel more sorry for them, at this point, than I do for us. When the US and the EU start having clashes, then I'm sure that will change.
