EUObserver: “The European Union has overnight agreed the precise text of its new ‘Lisbon Treaty’ to be formally signed off on 13 December in the Portuguese capital.
At around 02:00 local time on Friday morning - following shorter-than-usual discussions - Portuguese prime minister Jose Socrates announced that a deal has been struck, describing it as ‘victory for Europe’.
The new treaty will be formally signed by all European leaders in Lisbon on 13 December and subsequently go for ratification next year, with a view to coming into place by mid-2009, ahead of the next European elections.”

The only reason this ‘treaty’ was drawn up was to break down the sovereignty of all participating nations in order to give free reign to the neoliberals, the neocons, the privatization-and-deregulation gurus and big corporations, who will be able to dictate their terms for everything. Wages, social welfare, health care, taxes, ‘defence’ (read ‘war’) will eventually be taken from the national governments and the citizen will have much less influence on laws and regulations.
In short, the treaty is an attempt to impoverish and subdue the European population.

Because it is important and far-reaching the whole population should be able to vote on this treaty. Those in power don’t want you to have any influence whatsoever. This treaty is the beginning of an undemocratic Europe. It’s a coup d’état.

Telegraph: “Gordon Brown has steadfastly ignored a growing British campaign for a referendum on the European Union Treaty that was agreed in the early hours of this morning.”

Referendum in the Netherlands

Just one example of the things they have in store for us:
“Commissioner Frattini has stated that the Commission intends to propose, in the framework of a package of anti-terrorism measures foreseen for November, the blocking of Internet searches for bombmaking instructions, adding that the Commission will also ask the private sector to make it possible to use technology to prevent people from using or searching dangerous words like ‘bomb, kill, genocide or terrorism’ (Reuters, 10 Sept. 2007). Privacy organisations and the private sector, including Google, have already stated that the blocking of Internet searches with these words would be contrary to the freedom of expression and would not be an efficient tool against terrorism.”

This measure is intended to prevent you from researching genocide, terrorism, prevent you from getting information on the number of killings and bombs gone off, and that includes the killings done by European forces. It’s as simple as that. It is typical for the new wave of totalitarian thinking that is gaining momentum in neocon Europe.

Do you think Europe would act to denounce all instances of genocide and war crimes? Think again:
“Today Council and Commission were summoned to explain the follow-up on Parliament’s report adopted in February 2007 and the report from the Council of Europe from 08 June dealing with clandestine CIA operations in Europe. Liberal and Democrat members remain very critical of the lack of action by Member States to follow up on the conclusions drawn from the investigations.”

The motor behind it all is corporate power.

Neocons thrive on poverty and war.
