Resistance to EU Growing. (Insider report).

On June 7th, voters in Ireland rejected the latest move by European Union partisans to destroy national independence. Fifty-four percent of those who cast a ballot in a special Irish referendum said no to the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights approved by diplomats in Nice, France, in December 2000. Writers Meg MacConaill, Jim O'Sullivan, and John Scanlan explained their countrymen's rejection of the treaty in a special report appearing in Switzerland's Current Concerns. The Irish people, they said, realized: "Nice will remove our right to decide for ourselves how much we can afford to give in European taxes. It will affect our fundamental ability to determine our future as a nation, and to make and pass our own laws as we see fit.... More importantly, it will take from us the ability to reject legislation which would be contrary to our fundamental values."

Along with Switzerland's recent rejection of EU membership, Austria's demand for a "re-vote" on EU membership, and Denmark's previous rejection of the Euro currency, the Irish referendum caught the attention of arrogant EU leaders. Because the single nation of Ireland failed to accept the Nice Treaty, the only nation where it was submitted to a referendum, the treaty cannot be imposed on all EU members.

After the referendum, pro-EU Prime Minister Bertie Ahern of Ireland showed up red-faced at an EU summit meeting in Goteburg, Sweden. He could only listen as his confreres suggested that more education about the wonders of the EU would produce a different result in a second vote. In Ireland, however, resistance has grown as more citizens have become aware that they are losing their independence. Especially galling to many is the new awareness that the European Commission ordered their nation to raise taxes in order to protect the Euro.

Throughout Europe, as England's John Laughland reported in London's Daily Mail, the people "are coming to understand that the structures of the European Union are incompatible with a country's right to run its own affairs." He said that they are rethinking their nations' involvement. After surveying sentiment in the continent, he wrote: "A mere 10 percent of Germans now say they are strongly pro-European and 70 percent do not want the Euro. The French do not want it. The Swedes do not want it. And the Austrians, over 60 percent of whom voted to join the EU in 1995, are now the third most Euroskeptic country in Europe."

In Germany, Professor Karl Albrecht Schachtschneider's book The Euro Illusion: Is It Too Late to Save Europe? has awakened many and is helping to dull the pro-Euro EU fever. In addition, Schachtschneider's legal challenges to the very basis of the EU have seen the highest German court rule: 1) There is no such thing as a European people. The nation states remain the masters of the treaties; and 2) Every country has the right to withdraw from the EU/EC.

The European globalists have been planning to have the Nice Treaty be a major part of an entirely new EU Constitution beginning in 2004. Such a document would override the constitutions of all EU nations and speed the creation of a new world order. But resistance to these plans is growing.
