Twice in the previous century, misguided European political experiments have resulted in American soldiers shipping out and fighting Over There. On Jan. 1, 2002, the euro made its debut, the latest in a long chain of events which will, sometime in the next two or three decades, result in the citizen-soldiers of the New World being forced to administer yet another bloody lesson on the battlefield to the Old World’s freedom-hating elitists.
While the attention of most Americans has been understandably focused on the continuing war on terror, the significance of the successful implementation of the 12-nation euro should not be ignored. This new currency is the latest and most important step in accomplishing what Hitler and his National Socialists failed to do, namely, establishing a single centralized and anti-democratic European state.
Unity, union – these words strike a harmonious chord in the ears of those of us who are so fortunate as to be born in these United States. But not all unions are the same, nor should the consummation of all unions be desired. To unite can also mean, “to bind together, to fasten together as one.” Thus was derived the ancient symbol of Roman authority, the fasces (an axe, surrounded by a bundle of sticks), from which the epithet fascist evolved.
Fascist is an apt word to describe the true nature of the European Union, for like their Italian and German forebears, the state socialists, the fascists of the European Union are gaining power through an illusion of democratic approval. While not one European country contains a popular majority supporting the full integration and complete abandonment of national sovereignty sought by the Eurofascist elite, the long march towards the single central state continues. Indeed, in most referendums wherein the people of Europe have been given a voice, the euro and the EU have been defeated.
Do not be misled by the na?ve cheerleading from businessmen intrigued by the prospects of stable 4-percent growth in unionwide GNP. Fascists have always appealed to business leaders, as I pointed out in a previous column about Larry Ellison, Oracle, and the national ID card. The European Union has little to do with business and everything to do with the concentration of power. Indeed, the promise of free trade has been its stalking horse from the very beginning, taking in even the best and wisest of Europe’s conservatives. In the memoirs of her Downing Street years, Margaret Thatcher writes:
“The wisdom of hindsight, so useful to historians and indeed to authors of memoirs, is sadly denied to practicing politicians. Looking back, it is now possible to see the period of my second term as prime minister as that in which the European Community subtly but surely shifted its direction away from being a community of open trade, light regulation and freely co-operating sovereign nation-states towards statism and centralism.”
There is simply no question about the anti-democratic nature of the new regime. The European Union is like the Hotel California, a place from which you can check out, but never leave. As with Germany in 1933, one final vote takes place and then the wolf is within the door, and it is no longer considered necessary to revisit the issue ever again.
“The euro is forever,” said Romano Prodi, President of the European Commission, giving fair warning to the Danish public on the eve of their vote on monetary union. The Danes, surprisingly, braved the disapproval of their Eurofascist leaders and voted no.
When Austria voted the anti-EU Freedom Party into power, the foreign ministers for the other EU countries immediately imposed diplomatic sanctions on Austria for daring to voice an opinion contrary to the will of the Union. And when Irish voters declined to ratify the Treaty of Nice, EU leaders ominously demanded another, and illegal, vote on it within months. But as an English Member of Parliament writes:
“In practice, EU leaders have rarely allowed the letter of the law to stand in the way of deeper integration. After Denmark’s ‘no’ to Maastricht in June 1992, the Danes were told to think again. A second referendum was held in which they were told that they had been given concessions although these were described in the rest of the EU as ‘explanations’ of the previous text.”
Every step along the way to the single central state has been marked with similar dishonesty and lies. Lady Thatcher adds:
“We had to learn the hard way that by agreement to what were apparently empty generalizations or vague aspirations we were later held to have committed ourselves to political structures which were contrary to our interests.”
We Americans have a strange reluctance to believe what is right in front of our eyes. It took eight years and thousands of lives being lost before we could bring ourselves to respond to the threat posed by radical Islamicists opposed to our government and our way of life. Perhaps it is because the mundane dishonesty of our political system encourages us to ignore all statements of purpose as meaningless, or maybe it is a fundamental sense of decency which prevents us from comprehending the reality of naked evil when it presents its face. Remember that Stalin, Mao, and even Lenin have all had their apologists here in our country, not in benighted backwaters, but in important places, in academia and the New York Times.
Americans want to believe well of even the worst of men, and we strive to do so until it becomes impossible to continue denying what is undeniably true.
And so it is still possible, at this time, for some to deny the fascism that beats at the heart of Brussels. It is possible to look past the violations of national sovereignty, the shattered promises, the raw hypocrisy and the outright lies. But deny it or not, the beast is nevertheless there. Sooner or later, it will be exposed so that none will be able to dispute the truth. The European Union has no legions, but an empire of stealth and wealth is an empire all the same, and its grip is no less iron for all that it does not wield a sword – yet.
European union is not inevitable. That lie is no more true today than it was in Hitler’s time, or Napoleon’s. But now, as then, the lie must be resisted or it will begin to become reality, and the world will once more rue that which was never supposed to happen again. My hope is that we’ll fight the Eurofascists sooner rather than later, but either way, you know we’re going to win.
Britons, Spaniards, Italians, Germans – we’ve already beaten everyone but the French, and if we can’t beat the French, well, we might as well go ahead and surrender to Omar and Osama right now.
Question of the week: [Referring to the mainstream media] Why waste your time with them?
Thus spake Vox: I don’t think that anyone should waste their time with the mainstream media, indeed, I encourage every reader of this column to cancel their subscription to papers like the Washington Post, the New York Times and USA Today. I encourage everyone to turn off the ABCNNBCBS news, and Fox News too if they’re going to continue collecting CNN’s excremental leavings such as Geraldo Rivera and Greta van Susteren instead of giving us more voices like Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity.
However, we cannot successfully oppose the enemy unless we know them, and so as long as the mainstream media can make a rightful claim at being America’s “opinion leaders,” I will continue to track the propaganda they attempt to pass off as truth and expose it for what it is. After all, you can’t hit a target at which you’re not looking. That being said, I look forward to the day when we can all safely ignore them with impunity.
