Thought of citizens voting to ratify/reject new EU constitution has plutocrats fretting
By James P. Tucker Jr.
At a summit in Brussels, Belgium, the Bilderberg group’s efforts to ram through the European Union’s constitution ran into a huge problem. Citizens of European states are demanding the right to vote on membership.
Following Bilderberg dictates in Istanbul, Turkey, German Chancellor Angela Merkel called for all member states to ratify the new draft of the EU constitution without submitting it to their voters for approval. When the original constitutional draft was submitted to voters in France and the Netherlands, it was rejected. Other countries ratified through their parliaments without a vote. All EU nations must approve for the constitution to take effect.
Europeans are far more informed on these intrigues now, as Bilderberg has been extensively covered in both print and broadcast media in recent years.The Financial Times, a Bilderberg-controlled newspaper, reported in sorrow June 18 that an overwhelming majority of Europeans want to vote on whether their nation should surrender more sovereignty to the EU. Some 75% of Spaniards, 71% of Germans, 69% of Britons, 68% of Italians and 64% of French people say, in a new poll, that the public should vote on ratification.
Valery Giscard d’Estaing, longtime Bilderberg luminary and former French president who led the drafting of the original constitution, described the efforts at deception in a surprising burst of candor in the newspaper Le Monde: The public is being led “to adopt, without knowing it, the proposals that we dare not present to them directly.”
He was referring to the fact that, while the new draft avoids the word “constitution” in favor of “treaty” and drops references to such symbols as the EU flag and anthem, the same sovereignty-surrendering elements remain.
Calling it a “treaty” makes it no less an effective constitution. All the super-state elements remain: a fulltime EU president instead of rotating the role every six months, a foreign minister who will represent the EU and other imperial trappings.
“It is an exercise in deceit,” said Nigel Farrage, leader of the British Independence Party.
