EUSSR…Participatory Democracy? – A Travesty…Common Identity? – A Joke!
Last week I typed up a hilarious story from the EUObserver 21/3, which began with the mention of the ‘first formal attempt by European citizens to have a say in EU policy-making.’
================================
I smiled. A say? They can send in a petition, but that’s the end of it.
Citizens could do that since the old Common Market got started back in the Fifties and of course back then the high and mighty EuroCrats would no doubt tell folks they’d had a nice close read at their concerns and would even discuss the matter. So what’s changed?
Well, it just got sillier and sillier.
There is just over a week to go until the EU makes its long-awaited foray into the world of participatory democracy. On 1 April, a treaty article obliging the EU commission to consider legislating on the back of a petition backed by 1 million citizens from at least seven countries will go live.
Participatory democracy? There’s not a whiff of that in the European air! OBLIGING the EU Commission to CONSIDER doing something is no more democratic than kneeling as a supplicant before the throne of Darius or Xerxes.

==============================
And if you think you might change the dominant ideology of the EUSSR elite by ‘obliging’ them to ‘consider’ something on which millions of their subjects differ from their decadent mind-set – say, for example, a citizens’ intiative to restore capital punishment, or to stem the tide of ‘asylum-seekers’ – forget it, dumbo.
THEY WON’T EVEN CONSIDER IT.

Initiatives are prohibited from being “contrary to EU values.”
Not the population’s values, note, but ‘EU values,’ which are scarcely values at all, merely a melange of pinko twaddle. None o’ yer democratic nonsense ‘ere, squire!

(Interestingly, the Italian states were given referenda on whether to accede to the new Italy, a practice the EUSSR would detest!)

A Museum of Monnet’s Mendacity – and his Disciples’ Duplicity – would be an admirable use of EU tax money!
The report goes on to remind us that the EUSSR has no remit to interfere in educational matters, which are the preserve of national governments. A useful reminder, considering the millions of pounds of Euro-Propaganda pumped into UK schools – tax-payers’ money used to indoctrinate tax-payers’ kids!
Truly the EUSSR is an EVIL EMPIRE

Just a note to say that:
A ‘Common Identity’ is no Identity at all. The EU wants everyone to be the same and to be treated the same, but it is human nature to want to be different from everyone else, which is a good thing. We each have a unique identity, and that identity gives us a personality, without which we are merely automatons. Without identity we would have no ambition, no imagination, no charisma, and no individualism etc., hence we would cease to be human and have nothing to look forward to or to live for.
The EU treats us like robots or lesser life-forms. The EU believes itself to be omnipotent and on a higher plane than God, more advanced than the human race! But, it lies, cheats, misleads, coerces etc. its way into global power, and condemns every living soul to an eternity of subservience along its route to unachievable invincibility.

At least some had brazen honesty, saying whoever elects to join us in the EU, becomes our slave!
We cannot say that we were not warned but the people do not listen and are now to be bankrupted to be forever state dependent unless they release violent power to break free.
All the media have been complicit and the judiciary / police suborned and corrupted.

An EU wide participatory democracy is something which the UK should avoid; it w’d imply that a petition signed up to by a million + members from the 29 member states could impose on the British people (or the Geraman, Polish,…) a policy that the vast majority of Brits do not want. One cannot have an EU democracy before the peoples of the EU nations feel that they are ‘one,’i.e. before there is a ‘demos’.
