Did
you notice the European Union celebrated its 50th anniversary this month?
I
don’t know about you, but I distinctly recall the launch of the EU in 1993 – 14
years ago. How is it that a 14-year-old government is celebrating its 50th
anniversary?
It’s
an important story – especially for Americans who don’t believe there is a real
threat of or planning for a future North American Community confederating the
U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Today,
the Europeans proud of their regional government achievement see the real birth
of the EU dating back to the 1957 Treaty of Rome, involving only six countries
for the purpose of pooling their steel and coal resources.
The
idea was to make it impossible for another internecine European war to take
place because no one nation could dominate the industries of these strategic
commodities. They also believed it would spur economic development.
It
was, in modern parlance, a primitive free trade agreement – much less sweeping
in scope than the North American Free Trade Agreement adopted by the U.S.,
Canada and Mexico just over a decade ago.
But
the Euro-elite understand it was this baby step in the direction of integration
that set the continent on the road to merger.
And
that’s why the 50th anniversary celebrations are taking place all year long in
Europe.
Today,
those with similar plans for North America talk about them in muted terms. They
will tell you it’s not really a European Union-style confederation they are
seeking. It’s a simpler, more palatable North American Community.
Keep
in mind, before the European Union emerged, it was called the European
Community. Before that, it was the European Economic Community.
These
things are accomplished in stages.
It
should now be obvious to any thinking, rational person who can add two plus two
that the North American Free Trade Agreement – NAFTA – was the first stage in a
long-range plan for a European Union-style confederation in North America
between the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
And
that is not the endgame.
The
endgame is world government.
Look at the WND
story about President Bush’s plan for “integration” with the European
Union. It’s another stunner.
“President
Bush signed an agreement creating a ‘permanent body’ that commits the U.S. to
‘deeper transatlantic economic integration,’ without ratification by the Senate
as a treaty or passage by Congress as a law,” reported WND.
“The
‘Transatlantic Economic Integration’ between the U.S. and the European Union
was signed
April 30 at the White House by
Bush, German Chancellor Angela Merkel – the current president of the European
Council – and European Commission President Jos? Manuel Barroso.
“The document
acknowledges ‘the transatlantic economy remains at the forefront of
globalization,’arguing that the U.S. and the European Union ‘seek to
strengthen transatlantic economic integration.'”
This
was not buried news that took WND investigative efforts to uncover. This was not
some secret memo WND unearthed. This was not some Internet rumor. This
announcement by Bush was posted on the White House website.
Yet,
not a single news agency other than WND seized on the significance of this
unilateral move by the Bush administration.
It’s
called “not seeing the forest for the trees.”
The
forest is globalization.
What
is globalization?
It’s
not just free trade. It’s not just economic cooperation. It’s not just a series
of strategic agreements between nations. It’s shorthand for moving toward
one-world government.
No
one would have believed 50 years ago Europe could actually be governed as one
large confederation. Today it is a reality.
This
was not the result of the people of Europe clamoring for a centralized
bureaucracy in Belgium. It was the result of careful, quiet planning by the
European elite. And, ultimately, it was achieved not through the will of the
people, but in spite of it.
