Lisbon Treaty Passes, Europe Might Emerge As A New World Actor

thegovmonitor.com

The much-awaited Lisbon Treaty is now finally in place. Any moment now, the EU will emerge from its pre-Lisbon cocoon and show itself as fully-fledged global actor.

I'm not to familiar with the EU, but I know the NAU is coming here to the states.

And presently TPTB are practicing how to destroy the sovereignty of nations by nullifying their constitutions, and the worst part is that it is working.....the NWO is unfolding.

This is how it begins, countries lose their right to vote, and you have un-elected world elite making choices for your sovereign nation without any representatives.

America is preparing for the North American Union, which is already in the works. The legislation has already been approved and not by our congress mind you but via executive order of the president. In a sense we've already lost our right to vote.

I'm telling you people if you do not make your state representatives aware of what is going on, it will be too late.

Europe will never be a world power because they don't have the balls to stand up to groups (or countries) that would do them harm.

Essentially, that is the bottom line, although I might have phrased it in a slightly less colorful way.

Funny you mention, Germany almost took over the world.

That, my friend, was a far different Germany than exists today.

This is disrespectful to the men and women of armed forces from many European nations currently actively fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. Not to mention historic events, oh I don’t know like WWII, Korea etc. Look up the Glorious Glosters and then come and talk about b#lls.
The British Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, the list goes on and on.
It takes more than fist and might to be a man, maybe Europe has learnt a lesson after the days of empire? But don’t talk rubbish about the lack of courage or commitment from Europe, you have no idea.

With all due respect, the presence in Iraq and Afghanistan IS NOT and it HAS NEVER BEEN to DEFEND any European nation.

In WW1 & 2 Europe fought to defend ourselves against an aggressor, which is what a standing army is for.
An army should always be in place to DEFEND, not to attack a non-attacking nation.

While I have no doubt the people serving in Iraq and Afghanistan have their own beliefs regarding why they are there, and I do respect them for serving their country, it is entirely inaccurate to suggest that forces in either country are defending any nation. No nation attacked us, no nation attacked America, no nation even threatened to do so.

On the issue of the UE and Lisbon Treaty itself, I am reluctant to see globalism growing in scope and power. We have seen the damage this does to various nations, the economics created from it simply makes the wealth divide wider.

Regardless of the motivations, and whether you or I think that they are just reasons to progress to this stage, such progression creates immense opportunities for a select few to control a vast number of people.

The expansion of any governance is a danger, we need less leadership, fewer restrictions and controls. People do not need more instruction in how to live their lives as described by a panel of authority.

Having said that, all of these unions and agreements are a part of evolution, and they will fall when needs change. If we went into a global war tomorrow, various treaties and agreements would be torn to shreds.

So as long as no authority tries to tell me how I have to change my life to suit any of their unreasonable requirements, I couldn't care less what my nation signs up to.

Also with due respect and consideration I did not state that they were fighting to defend a European nation. My post was over heated due to the macho Europe ain't got no minerals post; which was a childish and pointless the statement, must not feed the trolls I know.

I agree that expanding the European Union in this way is dangerous to be honest. Free trade and movement is one thing but law making and central powers is a whole different thing. I love the way Ireland voted no, bing bong wrong answer try again. That to me stinks, what was the point in the first vote then? Why was that one not accepted and Lisbon dropped?
