The Real Face of the European Union: Preview of a North American Union? (complete film) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0NMjmn2vWw
While people don't realize this, both the US and GB take directive from the Crown through the CFR and The Royal Institute of International Affairs (the British counterpart). It would seem contrary to thinking that British would fail under this EU system, however, the Crown aren't British in the nationalistic sense. They are just some Monarchy that never gave up the idea of ruling everybody. Everybody thinks they gave up or stopped colonizing, but they didn't. Using economic and trade unions around the globe, they consolidate and eventually own everything. See how that works?
The Crown is the group behind the groups and it's not British. It's royalty that goes way back and is loosely contained with Israeli tribes (banking), British and European Monarchs, and the Vatican. Today, they operate kind of like this:
The Crown: Oversees all and directs the Vatican for "religious" matters around the world and the Rothchilds use America as the military muscle. What is happening in Ireland is wealth extraction and removal of sovereign rights. This is the model that will be used around the world.
Ireland's new government on a collision course with EU
Ireland's new government is headed for confrontation with Brussels after the
country's ruling party was wiped out on Saturday by voters in a huge popular
backlash against a European-IMF austerity programme.
Exit polls and early tallies from Ireland's general election heralded
political annihilation for Fianna Fail (FF), the party which has ruled Ireland
for more than 60 years of the Irish Republic's eight decades of
independence.
The unprecedented and historic defeat, Fianna Fail's worst result in 85 years,
makes the Irish government the first eurozone administration to be punished
by voters in the aftermath of the EU's debt crisis. Voter turn-out was
exceptionally high at more than 70 per cent, indicating public anger at the
government and the EU.
Late last year, Ireland was forced to accept a £72 billion EU-IMF bailout to
cover huge public debts that were ran up to save failed Irish banks.
The bail-out was designed to prevent financial contagion that threatened the
existence of the euro, but according to economic forecasts, the cost of
servicing Irish bank debt and the EU-IMF bank loans will consume 85 per cent
of Ireland's income tax revenue by 2012, a burden that a majority of voters
find intolerable.
Brian Cowen, the Irish Prime Minister and Fianna Fail leader, who stood down
last month rather than face furious voters, was also pressured into
implementing a savage £13billion austerity programme of tax rises and
spending cuts drawn up by the EU.
The cost of the EU-IMF bailout in extra taxes for an average Irish family has
been estimated at over £3,900 a year. Other deeply unpopular measures
include controversial reductions to the minimum wage, unprecedented cuts to
public services and 90,000 jobs losses in a country where unemployment is
already running at almost 14 per cent.
"When people are angry, when you've just cut their pay packets, you are
not going to be top of the pops," admitted Tony Killeen, Fianna Fail's
campaign director yesterday.
In Dublin, Fianna Fail won just eight per cent of the vote in an electoral
decimation that called into question the future of previously unassailable
politicians such as Brian Lenihan, the Irish finance minister.
"However bad people thought it would get for Fianna Fail, nobody thought
it would get this bad," said Michael Marsh, professor of political
politics at Trinity College Dublin. "That is highly significant."
According to exit polling carried out by the Irish RTE broadcaster, Fine Gael
(FG), Ireland's main centre-right opposition, had won 36.1 per cent of the
vote. Labour, traditional FG's traditional coalition partner, took 20.5 per
cent, its best result ever. Fianna Fail took just 15.1 per cent share of the
vote, representing a loss of 58 seats.
Sinn Fein, usually outsiders in southern Irish politics, recorded its own best
result with 10.1 per cent, up almost five per cent on the last 2007
election. The vote share for Greens, FF's junior coalition partner,
plummeted to 2.7 per cent, possibly robbing the party of MPs.
"The political landscape of Ireland is completely and utterly redrawn,"
said Roger Jupp, the chairman of the Millward Brown Lansdowne pollsters
which conducted the exit polls for RTE.
Enda Kenny, Fine Gael's leader, will later on Sunday, start to form a new
government, almost certainly with Labour, after full election results under
Ireland's complicated PR system come through.
Both Mr Kenny and Eamonn Gilmore, Labour's leader, have promised Irish voters
that they will renegotiate the EU-IMF austerity programme to reduce the
burden for taxpayers and to force financial investors to shoulder some of
the bank debts currently paid out of the public purse.
At a summit of centre-right EU leaders in Helsinki next Friday, Mr Kenny will
use his position as Ireland's new Prime Minister to beg the German
Chancellor, Angela Merkel, and French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, for
concessions ahead of an emergency March 11 Brussels summit to restructure
the euro zone.
But neither the two European leaders nor the European Central Bank or EU will
permit any substantial changes, despite the huge popular Irish revolt
against the bailout.
Chancellor Merkel will tell Mr Kenny that if he wants to reduce the high,
punitive 5.8 per cent interest rate charged on EU loans then Ireland will
have to give up its low corporate tax rates - a measure regarded as vital to
Ireland's recovery and one of the few economic policies it has not yet
handed over to Brussels or Frankfurt.
The new Irish premier will also be warned that there is no question of forcing
privately-owned financial institutions to assume Ireland's £85 billion bank
debts because the resulting market panic would spread to Germany and France,
tearing the euro single currency apart.
As Irish voters headed for the polling booths on Friday, the European
Commission bluntly declared that the terms of the EU-IMF bailout "must
be applied" whatever the will of Ireland's people or regardless of any
change of government.
"It's an agreement between the EU and the Republic of Ireland, it's not
an agreement between an institution and a particular government," said
a Brussels spokesman.
A European diplomat, from a large eurozone country, told The Sunday
Telegraph that "the more the Irish make a big deal about
renegotiation in public, the more attitudes will harden".
"It is not even take it or leave it. It's done. Ireland's only role in
this now is to implement the programme agreed with the EU, IMF and European
Central Bank. Irish voters are not a party in this process, whatever they
have been told," said the diplomat.
In the face of the EU's refusal to substantially renegotiate the austerity
programme, Mr Kenny's new government will face a grassroots campaign for a
referendum.
Dessie Shiels, an independent candidate in Donegal, said: "People have
not been given the basic right of deciding whether or not they should have
their taxes increased in order to repay bondholders who have lent to the
banks."
David McWilliams, an economist and former official at the Ireland's Central
Bank, has led calls for a popular vote under Article 27 of the Irish
constitution, which requires on a matter of "such national importance
that the will of the people ought to be ascertained".
"We have to re-negotiate everything," he said. "Obviously, the
first way to do this is to make them aware that if they force us to pay
everything, we will default and they will get nothing. So they had better
get a little bit of something, than all of nothing. To make this financial
pill easier to swallow, we must take the initiative politically. We can do
this via a referendum.
"If the Irish people hold a referendum on the bank debts now, we can go
to the EU with a mandate from the people which says No. This will allow our
politicians to play hard-ball, because to do otherwise would be an
anti-democratic endgame."
Declan Ganley, the Irish businessman who led the 2008 No vote to the Lisbon
Treaty, said Ireland must "have the balls" to threaten debt
default and withdrawal from the single currency.
"We have a hostage, it is called the euro," he said. "The euro
is insolvent. The only question is whether Ireland should be sacrificed to
keep the Ponzi scheme going. We have to have a Plan B to the misnamed
bailout, which is to go back to the Irish Punt."
