The socialist aim

Some of you have seen this before, but good to be reminded..
The left will want to stay in government as long as possible and even though they are not popular they will want to make sure that they get as much of their agenda in as possible.. the left world wide are the same.
Hitler said
All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.

So after the population wakes up to the wool that has continually been pulled over their eyes, they would have their agenda all finished...

The socialists aim, (see a portion below) and they are well ahead of schedule.. Gaye
Reprinted from political ad in the Western Australian Sunday Times, December 3, 1995
In 1944, Democratic U.S. Congressman Samuel Pettengill warned America that socialists would endeavor to have the U.S. spend itself into bankruptcy, with a view to making citizens totally dependent on a centralized government.
Pettengill detailed TEN POINTS of the socialist manifesto that would destroy free government. Almost 50 years later, down under in Australia, it is disturbing to reflect on Pettengill’s 10 points.
1) People must be made to feel their utter helplessness and their inability to solve their own problems. While in this state of mind, there is held up before them a benign and all-wise leader to whom they MUST look to the cure for all their ills.
2) The principle of local self-government must be WIPED OUT, so that this leader or group in control can have all the political power readily at hand.
3) Constitutional guarantees must be swept aside. This accomplished in part by RIDICULING them as outmoded and an obstruction to progress.
4) Public faith in the legal profession and respect for the courts must be undermined. The law making body must be intimidated and from time to time rebuked, so as to prevent the development of public confidence in it.
5) Economically, the people must be ground down by high taxes, which under one pretext or another they are called upon to pay. Thus they are brought to a common level and all income above a meager living is taken from them. In this manner, economic independence is kept to a minimum.
6) A great public debt must be built so the citizens can never escape its burden, making government the virtual receiver for the entire nation.
7) A general distrust of private business and industry must be kept alive so the public may not begin to rely on its own resources.
Government bureaus are set up to control practically every phase of the citizen’s lives.9) The education of the youth of the nation is taken under CONTROL so that all may be indoctrinated at an early age with a spirit of submission to the system.
10) To supplement and fortify all the foregoing, there is kept up a steady stream of GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA designed to extol all who bow the knee and to vilify those who dare raise a voice of dissent.
Samuel Barret Pettengill U. S. Congressman 1886-1974 Reprinted from an article in Ken Hamblin ‘Talks with America’ News letter Feb. 19. 1996

The Legal Fiction - How They Control Us
The Legal Fiction - How They Control Us
Judges know how the ‘legal fiction’ applies to each of us, but barristers, solicitors, Magistrates and politicians mostly do not – it is a closely guarded secret. Our courts impose their will on us using the ‘legal fiction’ and it is through this imposition that governments are able to control every facet of our lives. Without the ‘legal fiction’ governments and an array of authorities have no power over us whatsoever and with this in mind it is perfectly clear that understanding the ‘legal fiction’ is a prerequisite to understanding how the world around us really works as distinct from how we think it does. Knowledge and understanding of the legal fiction is the first step on the road of freedom.
Imagine having a conversation in the 10th century in which you were describing a mobile telephone to an audience... they would to a man and woman think you were a complete lunatic... despite being able to explain the science behind it, and so it is with trying to explain the ‘legal fiction’ today. Fortunately, thanks to people like John Harris, Winston Shrout, Robert Arthur Menard and others, the secret of the ‘legal fiction’ also known as the ‘strawman’ has been laid bare and as a consequence those of us who are prepared to learn are now able to take advantage of this very important knowledge.
But bear in mind this... the ‘powers-that-be’ have a vested interest in us not knowing how they effect their control over us... and this translates into them being adamant that you must not know of the existence of the legal fiction, never mind understand it. So if you are thinking about writing to the government and asking them to confirm the existence of the legal fiction, may I suggest that your time would be better spent writing to the mafia and asking them to confirm in writing that they are indeed engaged in organised crime. Please let us know if you get a reply.
The legal fiction is described briefly as ‘a means by which something can be done in law, which, without the legal fiction, would not be possible.’ Look it up in a law dictionary. There are many applications of the legal fiction concept and only through study will you get to grips with the extent of its functions. It is not complicated, just confusing and understanding it requires that you resist the urge to dismiss it as a nonsense. Because we have limited understanding of the origins of the universe, that does not mean that it does not exist - and so it is with the legal fiction.
It is easy to see then how despite you being the only owner and thus the controller of the legal fiction ‘ROGER HAYES LIMITED’ that it remains an entirely separate entity to you. You could sell the company and somebody else would then control it, despite it keeping your name. Now to deliberately confuse you... this entity was also given the generic name ’person’ and yes, it is meant to confuse you. In legalese (the language of law) the word ‘person’ means company or corporation; it does not mean man or woman. In an ordinary dictionary ‘person’ is described as an individual human being. In a law dictionary ‘human being’ is described as a monster. Do you think they were trying to bring clarity to the meaning of words or do you think they were trying to create confusion? Obviously it was the latter and it was both deliberate and calculated.
When you were born (still assuming that your name is Roger Hayes) and your parents registered your birth, the government set up a company which they called ROGER HAYES. If you look at all your official documents you will see that they are all represented with capital letters as a means of distinction. It is important to remember, that as it was the government that created this company, it is they that own and control it – despite it having your name. The deceit was in the fact that they did not tell you, nor did they want you to know, that they would use this company (person) as a tool to attach liabilities to the real you.
Thus, ROGER HAYES the company was created and existed alongside Roger Hayes the flesh and blood boy created and named by your parents. But in the absence of the knowledge of the existence of the former everybody was led to believe that everything applied to the latter – as devious a plan surely as selling land on the sun to the unsuspecting.
When officialdom then asks the question ‘Are you Roger Hayes?’ What they are really asking is ‘Do you accept the liabilities for ROGER HAYES the company (i.e. the person)?’ and when you say YES – you are unwittingly accepting the liabilities placed upon the ‘person’ (company) that they own and through which they establish their authority over you . How very clever and devious is that?
Roger Hayes is a flesh and blood man. ROGER HAYES is a person (company) – and they are separate entities. You control you, they control the person, if you accept the liability of the person – then they control you.
All Acts of Parliament are applied to the ‘person’ (the company), and not the man or the woman. This is self-evident in that the words man or women are never used in Acts of Parliament. So Acts do not therefore apply to the flesh and blood man or woman, if they did, they would say so. Acts of Parliament extend to you the man or woman only if and when (through your ignorance) you accept the responsibility and liability of the ‘person.’ When a policeman or a judge asks you for your name – they are tricking you into accepting their authority over you, because you have unwittingly assumed responsibility for the legal fiction (despite them also being ignorant of this fact) and the fact is that they must get you to acknowledge ‘the name’ i.e. ‘the person’ i.e. the ‘legal fiction’ ‘ROGER HAYES’ before they can assume their authority over you. When you say YES my name is ROGER HAYES, you are submitting/consenting to their authority, and conversely if you deny the liability of the corporate entity then you deny them the control that they need to enforce their penalty charge notices upon you. Denial of consent is denial of authority which means no penalties. It is as simple as that.
So now you know - government secures its authority over you by simply asking your name, or by getting you to fill in one of their forms. If you understand this then you can start to adjust the way in which you respond to their demands. Learn how to respond to this deceitful tyranny and your life will change; you will become freer in mind, in spirit and in reality. And the more of us pushing them back the faster we will take back control of our nation.
By denying the control that the legal fiction creates, you will be making an enormous stride in securing your freedom.
The fact remains that the Government and its institutions, i.e. the police, the courts, the taxman have authority over you by virtue of you unwittingly giving them your consent. But, whilst statutes (Acts of Parliament) apply only to the legal fiction – common law most definitely applies to YOU - the flesh and blood man or women. Be very careful to understand the difference. Common law which the police monitor as peace officers (constables) protects our natural rights, common law are the rules that govern how we behave towards our fellow men in order that we can all to live in peace and harmony with others without the threat of harm or loss.
So speeding, parking, council tax, VAT, PAYE etc all apply to the ‘legal fiction’ which you have an absolute right to reject if you so choose, but if standing up for your rights is too much trouble, you can chose to continue to remain compliant and obedient. Take your choice.
I have no objection to paying my fair share towards running a system of which we are all beneficiaries, but I will not be dictated to. If refusing to pay my council tax, speeding and parking fines is the way to bring about change that will benefit us all, then that is what I am going to do. Hopefully many more people will start thinking and acting like free men and women, the sooner we do then the sooner we will close down the tyranny and the sooner our lives will start to improve.
BUT... and there’s always a but, the ‘legal fiction’ has benefits as well as liabilities. The NHS, schooling, child benefits, land and home ownership, bank accounts etc, all come to you courtesy of the ‘legal fiction.’ If you want to dump the liabilities, you are potentially going to have to dump all the benefits as well. So you have to have a clear understanding on what it is you are letting yourself in for before you start messing with the system.
Dear reader, our controllers are not stupid... they have been working their scheme for a long time. They have devised a system that gives as well as it takes and it has been a careful balance of both of these that has allowed them to maintain their control. So if there are benefits as well as liabilities and we do not want to throw the baby out with the bath water, where do we go from here?
The answer to that dilemma is simple. The system can be used for our overall benefit. The bad guys have taken control of it and they are quite deliberately using it for their benefit at our expense. They are using it to fine us excessively and needlessly to feed their greed, to tax and persecute us; keeping us on a tread mill of servitude and making our lives a misery in the process. We have a right to take the benefits and reject the liabilities when the balance has been distorted to our detriment – which clearly it is.
The writer has been in court (on numerous occasions) denying the liabilities of the legal fiction – to date 100% successfully. There have been some feisty moments - it has been an interesting journey during which compliant servants of the system have watched in bewilderment (and ignorance) as we (many friends and activists) have turned up at court and said NO... we do not accept your authority. The shock to authority is palpable; they respond by shouting, barking orders for us to obey, they use threats, intimidation and occasionally they call their security guards and the police to try and force us into submission – all to no avail. We have stood our ground and witnessed the weakening of their resolve and have watched as they have instead slowly started to submit to our authority. In court now, we ask the questions and they do the responding. They become particularly more compliant when we remind them that the courts belong to the people... not them.
The flesh and blood man is considerably more powerful than their legal fiction controls; it is just a matter of discovering how it is that we can demonstrate our authority over them. It has been and will continue to be a bumpy ride, made smoother with the support of those who attend courts as witnesses. The British Constitution Group is pushing the tide of tyranny back slowly but surely, we do it with the knowledge that we are right and they are wrong as evidenced by their gradual submission to our demands. But we still have a long way to go. The more of us that join the fight, the faster we will take back control. We do not need elections or referendums or any other controlled mechanism to free ourselves from corrupt government be it in the UK or in Brussels, we just need the spirit, determination and courage to stand up and say NO.
We, the British people have right to govern ourselves, we have a natural instinct to want to preserve our sovereignty and our independence... but we have been lulled into thinking that we need the permission of a powerful elite to secure it... we do not.
We have become confused about our identity and our nationhood - we no longer understand the purpose of our constitution and the rule-of-law. Some of us have been fooled into thinking of ourselves as European, a universal description with as much meaning as calling ourselves earthlings. We are British – English, Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish. We have amongst us people from every country on earth, here to share in what is unique to these islands and the British people – a nation of tolerance, compassion, fortitude, fair play and justice. We have taken these values to the world – and it seems that the time has come to do so again.
Our future will not be determined by a political party, it will not be determined by puppets like Clegg, Cameron or Brown (remember him?)... our future will be forged by those amongst us who find the courage to stand up for our rights and declare them to the world.
The tyranny that has been build up around us will crumble when we stand up and defend ourselves. This is a game of numbers... when there are more of us than there are of them... the job will be done.
So What Is The Legal Fiction & How Does It Impact On Our Lives?
If you tried to explain the concept of the ‘legal fiction’ to the average individual in the context of how it applies to them, there is a high degree of probability that they would stare back at you as though you were quite mad... explanation rarely attracts a demand to know more, which it should, generally people find comprehension beyond their scope of understanding and they prefer therefore to dismiss it as an absurdity. The creators of the legal fiction knew this and have used our own ignorance to further their aims to control and dominate us, their ultimate weapon being ‘plausible deniability.’ But suddenly we are waking up to what is really going on and as we do the shackles of control are starting to loosen.Imagine having a conversation in the 10th century in which you were describing a mobile telephone to an audience... they would to a man and woman think you were a complete lunatic... despite being able to explain the science behind it, and so it is with trying to explain the ‘legal fiction’ today.

A Company Is A Legal Fiction
If we assume that your name is Roger Hayes... you could create a legal fiction called ‘ROGER HAYES LIMITED’ which you could own lock, stock and barrel. You could lend the company money and it in turn could buy and own plant, machinery and stock and build up an array of assets and wealth through trade - all of which would then belong to the company... but not you. Yes you would own the company, but the company would own the assets. If on behalf of the company you sold some stock, you would be required to put the proceeds into the company’s bank account and not your own private account. The company would be obliged to pay back the money that you lent it, but apart from that the only way that you could take any benefit from the company would be if it paid you a wage as a manager or a dividend as a shareholder and if the company went bust with net liabilities, you would not be liable for its debts.It is easy to see then how despite you being the only owner and thus the controller of the legal fiction ‘ROGER HAYES LIMITED’ that it remains an entirely separate entity to you. You could sell the company and somebody else would then control it, despite it keeping your name. Now to deliberately confuse you... this entity was also given the generic name ’person’ and yes, it is meant to confuse you.

Is this our get out clause?
Friday night fun
Posted by Laura Kuenssberg. 6 January, 2012
Posted by Laura Kuenssberg. 6 January, 2012
For those who like nothing more than poring over the detail of complicated legalese, then the full text of the latest draft of the treaty that will pull Eurozone economies closer together, essentially giving wise spending Germany more control over the rest of the continent is below.
If you have more fun ways planned to spend your Friday evening, then I’ll forgive you, and tell you the two things that jump out at me.
The last paragraph appears on first reading, the most significant -
.”Within five years at most following the entry into force of this Treaty, on the basis of an assessment of the experience with its implementation, an initiative shall be launched, in compliance
with the provisions of the Treaty on the European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the
European Union, with the aim of incorporating the substance of this Treaty into the legal framework
of the European Union”
It seems whatever the PM’s position was, the rest of the Eurozone, at least those drafting the treaty, are looking at making every single country in the union, not just those in the single currency, sign up to rules that would allow more scrutiny, or interference, depending how you look at it, of each other’s budgets and policies. The aim in this document is to do this after five years, after the arrangements have been reviewed. This could of course also operate as a sunset clause, that could potentially allow a get out after the same period.
It also seems that there is a plan afoot to raise the level of deficit that the first draft was designed to allow. The original plan was that countries who signed up would only be allowed to run deficits of 0.5% of their GDP, the total amount of everything they make and produce. This draft includes the possibility of deficits running at 1%, although there would be tougher sanctions for those who break the rules.
In any case reading through the draft makes clear how far reaching the changes are, and far the rest of the continent could pull away from the UK if it goes through. This draft is still that, a draft, but there is very real change on the way.
PS For the many who have applauded the stance the PM has taken so far, and there are very many, don’t there don’t be mistaken that there are very real risks too. There are fearful rumblings from City sources I’ve been speaking to in the last couple of days. I’m told that big financial firms are starting to pull away from using the UK’s official representatives in Brussels, UKRep, choosing instead to go direct to talk to other countries’ teams, because ‘no one wants to be wrapped in the union flag right now’. There are suggestions that one very significant financial institution is moving away from describing itself as a UK institution, instead choosing to emphasise itself as a ‘global brand’. Another source told me even Poland, who the UK has often built alliances with is starting to drift away, some saying privately they can’t do business with the UK anymore. And I’ve been struck by the shock that some still feel at the tactic the PM chose. Not least by a source who attended a meeting with a senior minister on the day of the summit itself, who was told that the negotiating position was ‘very soft’. The same source was shocked when next morning it emerged that David Cameron had used the veto – ‘he didn’t protect us while he left the room’, and ‘he stopped the eurozone from sorting itself out’, comparing his stance to Mrs Thatcher’s on Europe, ’she was intelligent enough to stay in the room…he left, and shot himself in the foot’. Ouch! In reality the whole situation is so uncertain that it’s impossible to predict the eventual impact the PM’s position will have but the domestic political success it has brought him is not without its risks.
Here is the full draft – if you spot anything I’ve missed then tweet me at @ITVLauraK

Union's objectives for sustainable growth and employment,
BEARING IN MIND that the need for governments to prevent a government deficit becoming
excessive is of an essential importance to safeguard the stability of the euro area as a whole, and
accordingly requires the introduction of specific rules to address this need, including the need to
take necessary corrective action,
CONSCIOUS of the need to ensure that their deficits remain below 3 % of their gross domestic
product at market prices and that government debt is below, or sufficiently declining towards, 60 %
of their gross domestic product at market prices,
RECALLING that the Contracting Parties, as Member States of the European Union, should refrain
from adopting any measure which could jeopardise the attainment of the Union's objectives in the
framework of the economic union, notably the practice of accumulating debt outside the general
government accounts,
BEARING IN MIND that the Heads of State or Government of the euro area Member States agreed
on 9 December 2011 on a reinforced architecture for Economic and Monetary Union, building upon
the European Treaties and facilitating the implementation of measures taken on the basis of Articles
121, 126 and 136 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
2
BEARING IN MIND that the objective of the Heads of State or Government of the euro area
Member States and of other Member States of the European Union remains to incorporate the
provisions of this Agreement as soon as possible into the Treaties on which the European Union is
founded,
TAKING NOTE, in this context, of the intention of the European Commission to present further
legislative proposals within the framework of the Union Treaties regarding a mechanism of ex ante
reporting of debt issuance plans of the Member States of the European Union, a procedure of
economic partnership programmes detailing structural reforms for euro area Member States in
excessive deficit procedure as well as a new coordination procedure at the level of the euro area for
major economic policy reform plans,
TAKING NOTE that, when reviewing and monitoring the budgetary commitments under this
Agreement, the European Commission will act within the framework of its powers as provided by
the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union, in particular Articles 121, 126 and 136
thereof,
NOTING in particular that, for the application of the budgetary "Balanced Budget Rule" described
in Article 3 of this Agreement, this monitoring will be made through the setting up of country
specific reference values and of calendars of convergence, as appropriate, for each Contracting
Party,
NOTING that compliance with the obligation to transpose the "Balanced Budget Rule" into national
legal systems at constitutional or equivalent level should be subject to the jurisdiction of the Court
of Justice of the European Union, in accordance with Article 273 of the Treaty on the Functioning
of the European Union,
RECALLING the need to facilitate the adoption of measures under the excessive deficit procedure
of the European Union for euro area Contracting Parties whose planned or actual government
deficit to gross domestic product exceeds 3%, whilst strongly reinforcing the objective of that
procedure, namely to encourage and, if necessary, compel the Member State concerned to reduce a
deficit which might be identified,
RECALLING the need for those Contracting Parties whose government debt exceeds the 60 %
reference value to reduce it at an average rate of one twentieth per year as a benchmark,
RECALLING the agreement of the Heads of State or Government of the euro area Member States
on 26 October 2011 to improve the governance of the euro area, including the holding of at least
two Euro Summit meetings per year, as well as the endorsement of the Euro Plus Pact by the Heads
of State or Government of the euro area Member States and of other Member States of the
European Union on 25 March 2011,

circumstances, or in periods of a severe economic downturn, provided that this does not
endanger fiscal sustainability in medium term.
b) The rule under point a) above shall be deemed to be respected if the annual structural deficit
of the general government does not exceed a country-specific reference value, that is in line
with the country-specific medium-term objective referred to in Article 2(a) of Regulation
(EC) No. 1466/97, as amended by Regulation (EC) No. 1175/2011, and which ensures an
adequate safety margin with respect to the 3 % reference value mentioned under Article 1 of

the European Commission where a Member State whose currency is the euro is recognised by the
European Commission to be in breach of the deficit or debt criterion in the framework of an
excessive deficit procedure, unless a qualified majority of them is of another view. A qualified
majority shall be defined by analogy with Article 238(3)(a) TFEU and with Article 3 of Protocol N°
36 to the EU Treaties on transitional provisions and without taking into account the position of the
Contracting Party concerned.
Article 8
Any Contracting Party which considers that another Contracting Party has failed to comply with
Title III may bring the matter before the Court of Justice of the European Union. The European
6
Commission may, on behalf of Contracting Parties, bring an action for an alleged infringement of

of the European Union.
__________
If you have more fun ways planned to spend your Friday evening, then I’ll forgive you, and tell you the two things that jump out at me.
The last paragraph appears on first reading, the most significant -
.”Within five years at most following the entry into force of this Treaty, on the basis of an assessment of the experience with its implementation, an initiative shall be launched, in compliance
with the provisions of the Treaty on the European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the
European Union, with the aim of incorporating the substance of this Treaty into the legal framework
of the European Union”
It seems whatever the PM’s position was, the rest of the Eurozone, at least those drafting the treaty, are looking at making every single country in the union, not just those in the single currency, sign up to rules that would allow more scrutiny, or interference, depending how you look at it, of each other’s budgets and policies. The aim in this document is to do this after five years, after the arrangements have been reviewed. This could of course also operate as a sunset clause, that could potentially allow a get out after the same period.
It also seems that there is a plan afoot to raise the level of deficit that the first draft was designed to allow. The original plan was that countries who signed up would only be allowed to run deficits of 0.5% of their GDP, the total amount of everything they make and produce. This draft includes the possibility of deficits running at 1%, although there would be tougher sanctions for those who break the rules.
In any case reading through the draft makes clear how far reaching the changes are, and far the rest of the continent could pull away from the UK if it goes through. This draft is still that, a draft, but there is very real change on the way.
PS For the many who have applauded the stance the PM has taken so far, and there are very many, don’t there don’t be mistaken that there are very real risks too. There are fearful rumblings from City sources I’ve been speaking to in the last couple of days. I’m told that big financial firms are starting to pull away from using the UK’s official representatives in Brussels, UKRep, choosing instead to go direct to talk to other countries’ teams, because ‘no one wants to be wrapped in the union flag right now’. There are suggestions that one very significant financial institution is moving away from describing itself as a UK institution, instead choosing to emphasise itself as a ‘global brand’. Another source told me even Poland, who the UK has often built alliances with is starting to drift away, some saying privately they can’t do business with the UK anymore. And I’ve been struck by the shock that some still feel at the tactic the PM chose. Not least by a source who attended a meeting with a senior minister on the day of the summit itself, who was told that the negotiating position was ‘very soft’. The same source was shocked when next morning it emerged that David Cameron had used the veto – ‘he didn’t protect us while he left the room’, and ‘he stopped the eurozone from sorting itself out’, comparing his stance to Mrs Thatcher’s on Europe, ’she was intelligent enough to stay in the room…he left, and shot himself in the foot’. Ouch! In reality the whole situation is so uncertain that it’s impossible to predict the eventual impact the PM’s position will have but the domestic political success it has brought him is not without its risks.
Here is the full draft – if you spot anything I’ve missed then tweet me at @ITVLauraK

| Read in its entirety. It's not just a moan! When the time for Lawful Rebellion is long passed - and the people of England disregard the values, pride and courage of our ancestors that kept us from slavery and our country in dependant and strong - it is time to hang our heads in shame. The enemies of England have been handed our country and us on a plate, yet we allow those who have done so to walk freely amongst us - as if they are to be commended for it. Our men of the past would see us all banished from England and the UK - for our acceptance of traitors and collaborators, for it is not enough that we know who the traitors are. Without acting on our knowledge and disabling the activities of those traitors - by one means or another, then we are indeed accepting TREASON. If men of mettle are not in great enough number to come together and detain Traitors and Collaborators without the aid of the unlawful authorities, then England will be lost to those of dark intentions - and the white knight of years past will only be heard of in Fairy-Tales. Don't leave the protection of England to others, for the others will be leaving it to others - until the others are relying on you. And so, nothing will be done, and the English will have no England nor any Freedoms. Remember the Playground Bully? How did you defeat him/her? A letter/e-mail - asking them to stop? A soft/harsh word? Maybe you got your Mommy to speak to the teacher, and then got a bashing from the bully! Maybe a friend stood-up for you, and found that it just made things worse! The best way to stop the nasties from restricting your Freedoms, stealing your money, stealing your food and hurting you in one way or another - is to stand-up for yourself, even if that means you suffer short-term. Hit the bully where it hurts, and I don't mean in a 2 Dimensional way! The EU is a bully. It has no authority, nor do the Traitors and Collaborators who enable it. The UK Traitors and Collaborators rely on manipulation, deceit etc., they have no guts, no courage! One ounce of true mettle will have them weak at the knees. Unfortunately at the moment - there is not one ounce of courage in evidence. One ounce of courage will pound the scum-bag Traitors & Collaborators into the ground! Where is it? NB. If England and the English were advanced enough not to need a Physical Resistance - then we would also not have Traitors. But, we do have Traitors. They should be a thing of the past in a modern and advanced age. However, the fact that Traitors are in abundance in England is PROOF that we still need old-fashioned means to deal with them. Traitors were always in fear of their lives in past era's, but in modern times they proudly show their faces in public and fear nothing - except losing their ill-gotten gains. Time to make life hell for Traitors and Collaborators. Don't bother sending them letters and e-mails, unless you want to make them laugh even more. Be a little more imaginative. You all know someone in authority who is a europhile. You know a cog in the Treasonous machine. Just look at the people in your local council. You will find plenty of scum-bags there! The councils are mini governments, and without them any of the main Treasonous Parties cannot succeed. You don't have to go to other parts of the country or to London. Make the lives of pro-EU councillors - HELL. You know what to do! Regards, Mike Stuckey. NB. Attached is a list of 'Common Purpose' people. You might find one in your area! Don't be put-off by Brian Gerrish - saying that they are not all bad. They all know that Patriots are onto them, and they won't stay connected to 'Common Purpose' unless they are active Collaborators! You might find an updated list on Brian Gerrish's site. |

Michael Connarty MP (Labour) Chairman of the Commons European Scrutiny Committee, said (January 2008) that compared to the Maastricht Treaty "the Lisbon Treaty represents a more significant point in our relationship with Europe", and it is a "tipping point" for Britain's national sovereignty and "will take the centre of power away from this Parliament to Brussels. There is no doubt about that." He also added that under the Treaty "the role of national Parliaments will be massively diminished."
Michael Connor, former President Alstom UK, Council member Britain in Europe

Alan Donnelly, former Leader, European Parliamentary Labour Party, Council member Britain in Europe
Brendan Donnelly Director of the Federal Trust (a charity!!!) ex Cons MEP ("Opposition to the Euro is politically and economically unwise")
Andrew Duff MEP, Liberal Democrat, Member of The Federal Trust. Said that the UK should not be allowed to leave the EU without the EU's permission! Several European politicians launched a campaign to save the draft EU Constitution which they fear is being eroded by member states, including Andrew Duff.
Andrew Duff flatly denied that Article 52 of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights existed. In correspondence his mentor Graham Watson MEP (another fanatical eurofederalist) then claimed that the words do not mean what they say! Article 52 states that,
"...limitations (on the exercise of the rights and freedoms recognised by this Charter) may be made only if they are necessary and genuinely meet objectives of general interest being pursued by the Union..." In other words the EU and its Charter grants and takes away your "rights" in the same movement! (the same is true of the Death penalty! Most countries have abolished the Death penalty but the EU specifically allows them through its Charter which is part of the Lisbon Treaty/to bring it back!!)
The report by the House of Commons EU Scrutiny Committee quotes Andrew Duff MEP, who told the Committee: "there is a danger that, in assessing the Treaty of Lisbon, national parliaments become obsessed by the early warning mechanism on subsidiarity. It was understood by those of us involved in its drafting and, then re-drafting that the mechanism, although a necessary addition to the system of governance of the Union, was not really intended to be used. It is, in Bagehot's terms, more a dignified part of the European constitutional settlement than an efficient one."
While the Lisbon Treaty has still not been ratified, Andrew Duff MEP, is already trying to introduce changes in it, and establish the election of "European MEPs" instead of national MEPs in elections from 2014 onwards. Andrew Duff is the lib-dim MEP for East Anglia. When asked to introduce himself he refuses to say he is British. He describes himself as a European federalist. Just as well he was not born two centuries or so ago, when treason was still taken seriously. In Prague recently with a European parliamentary delegation, Mr Duff insulted the Czech Republic's president, Vaclav Klaus, in a public meeting.
Hugh Dykes, ex MP, now Lord Dykes, Chairman, the (eurofederalist) European Atlantic Group
James Dyson enthusiastically advocates the abolition of Sterling, the Bank of England, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the First Lord of the Treasury (the PM) in favour of the Euro BUT MOVED HIS MANUFACTURING BUSINESS TO THE FAR EAST, rather than supporting the new European Country that he so admires. He expects to sell this products in Britain at British prices however. Avoid Dyson washing machines, vacuum cleaners and other products in favour of genuine far east companies which manufacture in Britain - like LG etc.

James Elles, Tory MEP. Believes Conservatives in the European Parliament should be part of the fanatically eurofederalist EPP group. Says anyone who believs in British self government should "leave the party and join UKIP".

George Galloway, Respect Party's only MP. On his radio show every weekend - on Talk Sport - he very much favours the UK being in the EU even though years ago he did not want the UK to be in the EEC!

John Gummer MP Roman Catholic convert and principal actor in the sacking of Adrian Hilton, the Tory candidate for Slough just before the 2005 General Election, because the latter had written books critical of The Vatican's promotion of the European superstate. A corporatist rather than a Conservative, best summed up not only in his eurofederalist fanaticism but in his becoming chairman of a company called Valpak which guides companies through the EU recycling rules which Gummer himself introduced when he was Environment Minister. Like Kenneth Clarke he has more in common with New Labour and the Lib Dems than with Conservatives.

Robert Hughes ex-MP
Chris Huhne MEP, Council member Britain in Europe. Failed candidate for leadership of the Liberal Democrat Party. The LibDems passed a resolution with Huhne's support at their conference to hold a referendum on the EU Constitution. Having announced his candidature for the Liberal Democrat leadership (for the second time) in October 2007 Huhne went back on this commitment on the Andrew Neill This Week late night show. He also repeatedly lied when he denied that the Government's so called "red lines" had been in the original Constitution. They were and therefore the Constitution has NOT changed and therefore a referendum is necessary.
John Hume former MP and MEP. He promotes Euro Federalism within Northern Ireland and has a long pedigree of anti Britishness.
David Hunt ex-MP
Lord Hurd Douglas - ex-Foreign Minister. "This is hardly a battleground of principle - which is a relief to those of us who were never enthusiastic about the single currency" - but he signed the Maastricht Treaty on Economic and Monetary Union which imposed it on Europe, saying after signature "We had better go away and read it". It was Hurd who personally advised NatWest Markets not to invest in rail privatisation. Several bidders had to refinance at the last minute but some did not have time to (e.g. Norfolk Southern US consortium who lost millions in aborted bid costs). In fact, it was terrible advice and cost the bank hundreds of millions. Major Government stand was not to proceed with Maastricht ratification if Denmark voted NO. But Hurd went to Denmark and said the opposite, thus fatally undermining the Danish NO campaign. While Major was saying that Maastricht would get powers back Hurd, his Foreign Secretary, admitted it would not!

"By Gordon Brown's Mansion House criteria, the economic barriers to joining the Eurozone are falling away".

Dennis McShane MP Some eurofanatics deserve the description of euro-fascist not just for their ideology but for their personality. McShane (real name Matyjasek, a Polish Jewish family who fled to Britain to escape a "United integrated Europe") chose his maternal family's Irish name. In 2004 he made a racist attack on the British people who he said were characterised by "a dark streak of xenophobia and racism". In 2007 - after supporting the Labour Government's policy of allowing over 600,000 migrants from Eastern Europe to price British workers out of their jobs - he said that British workers in his constituency should be given jobs first!

T
Charles Tannock MEP (Tory) One of the worst europhiles in the Tory Party. Rejected referendum on Lisbon Treaty. Adopts most eruofanatical tactics of Lib Dems: "David Cameron has already stated that we intend to seek when in government repatriation of our social and employment policies which will already be a challenge. When in government I would support a referendum but it would have to be a referendum along the lines of the LibDem idea of 'in or out' of the EU and all parties would have to accept to be bound by the decision for at least ten years. I think this is more logical than revisiting the Lisbon treaty as we can't be part of the EU unless we accept its new institutional architecture, which would already be in place by then."

Robert Walter MP (parades himself at elections as "eurosceptic" but is a former Chairman of The European Movement, seeks abolition of pound). This information on Robert Walter was first published on our site in 1996. The following extract was received from a constituent in July 2002: 'Our MP told us in an impassioned speech at his re-selection meeting how keen he was to "keep the £", sent us all a letter, of which we have a copy, on 4th June 01 begging us to vote for him because his LibDem opponent would sell us out and we would no longer have a £. Then, and we have the video to prove it, on Westminster Live, comes on as the "Pro Euro Conservative MP" against a splendid sounding John Cryer Labour MP who was pro £.'

Watson flatly denied that Article 52 of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights existed. In correspondence he then claimed that the words do not mean what they say! Article 52 states that,"...limitations (on the exercise of the rights and freedoms recognised by this Charter) may be made only if they are necessary and genuinely meet objectives of general interest being pursued by the Union..."
