The email demonstrates my passion and articulacy.
Dear Joe,
Today we are being asked to vote on the European Constitution. At this stage in the debate most of the truths and myths, regarding the E.U constitution have been bandied about to such an extent that it's becoming difficult to distinguish fact from fiction. So, rather than add to the this great mass of confusion, I would like to present you with some quotes from the people behind the treaty...the politicians and political leaders who know, among other things, why the European Constitution was renamed, THE LISBON TREATY.
"The aim of the Constitutional Treaty was to be more readable, the aim of this treaty is to be unreadable. The Constitution aim to be clear, whereas this treaty had to be unclear. It is a success" Karel de Gudnt-Belgian Foreign Minister.
"Public opinion will be led to adopt, without knowing it, the proposals that we dare not present to them directly...All the earlier proposals will be hidden and disguised in some way"
"What was done in the (Lisbon) Treaty, and deliberately, was to mix everything up. If you look for the passages on institutions, they're in different places, on different pages."
"The text is in fact, a return of a great part of the substance of the Constitutional Treaty"
-Valery Giscard d'Estaing-Former French
President.
"There's nothing from the original institutional package that has been changed"
-Astrid Thors-Finnish E.U Minister.
"It is essentially the same proposal as the old Constitution"
-Margot Wallstron-E.U Commissioner.
"The project of the founding fathers is complete...the economic Union is becoming a political Union"
-Nicholas Sarkozy-French President.
"Project of the founding fathers"????? Who are these founding fathers and what might their project be?
"Europe's nations should be guided towards the superstate without their people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished by successive steps each disguised as having an ECONOMIC PURPOSE, but which will eventually and IRREVERSIBLY lead to federation"
-Jean Monnet-Founding Father of E.U.
Sound familiar???
"YES FOR JOBS"--Fine Gael.
These "successive steps" which Jean Monnet mentions are also known as the Treaties of: Paris(1955) Rome(1957)Brussels(1965)Single European Act(1986)Amsterdam(1991) Maastricht(1992)Nice(2001)European Constitution(2004)Lisbon(2008)
In each of the Treaties above, our National sovereignty was gradually eroded under the pretext that the treaties were for economical purposes which would enhance the financial prosperity of the public.....
"YES FOR JOBS"--Fine Gael.
"YES FOR THE ECONOMY"-Fianna Fail.
And now The Second Lisbon Treaty, effectively the fourth time Europeans have been asked to vote on The E.U Constitution. A Constitution enshrined in deceit and misleading, misinformation, The Treaty to end all Treaties. We are on the verge of giving up all of our sovereign rights and our freedom, in the hope of achieving something which merely appears to be, a little security...
"Those who would give up a little freedom to achieve a little security, deserve neither, and will surely lose both" -Winston Churchill.
