Forget the millions of Europeans affected, the EU won’t even bother to
put its attempt to seize control over member state economies to a vote
amongst its own parliamentary cronies, preferring instead to change the
Lisbon Treaty under powers Eurocrats granted themselves.
Having repeatedly staged national referendums until they
got the vote they wanted, the Lisbon Treaty was passed with a
provision, the obscure ‘passerelle’ clause, Art. 126 (14) via protocol
12, that bestowed upon Brussels the power to change its terms without
any kind of vote whatsoever – popular or parliamentary.
“This decision does not require ratification at national
level. This procedure could therefore lead to rapid and significant
changes,” according to a confidential text issued by EU President Herman Van Rompuy.
This means that any effort to change the treaty in order
to create a “fiscal union,” or in other words, impose centralized
control over every member state’s economy from Brussels, would simply be
accomplished with the stroke of a pen and would not involve votes from
any national parliament or any MEP.
This would then empower the European Commission, “to
impose austerity measures on eurozone countries that are being bailed
out, usurping the functions of government in countries such as Greece,
Ireland, or Portugal,” reports the Guardian.
It’s all part of the technocrats’ agenda to seize “intrusive control of national budgetary policies.”
“Why bother with the one true barbarous relic – democracy – when good ole’ fascism will suffice,” reports Zero Hedge.
“And that is how a bunch of corrupt kleptocratic incompetent eurocrats
usurp all power in a regime now entirely controlled by Goldman Sachs.”
