European elites pursued political unification without informing the peasantry of their true goals:
Treaty by treaty, it would take over more powers from national governments, based on the sacred principle that once power to make laws was handed over to Brussels it could never be given back.
Ever more countries would be brought into the net, until the project reached its ultimate goal as a super-government, with its own president and parliament, its own currency and armed forces, its own flag and anthem — all the attributes of a fully-fledged nation state.
Thus, stealthily assembled over decades, would this new ‘country called Europe’ finally take its place on the world stage. What we found most shocking in researching this story was that, when Britain’s leaders first considered joining the project, they were made fully aware of this hidden agenda.
As we see from Cabinet papers and other documents of the early Sixties, Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and his ‘Europe Minister’ Edward Heath were put completely in the picture about the secret ‘grand plan’. But in June 1961 the Cabinet formally agreed that it must not be revealed to the British people.
This is not a shock. Like the EU will let mere votes stop them!
And once you have the structure of authoritarianism in place, you are just a crisis and a man on a white horse away from dictatorship. One has to wonder if the Euro currency crisis would have been an opportunity rather than a problem had the political unification gone on a little longer first.
I'm back on board the festering boils part.
