The EU is on the March!

As many as 750 thousand people marched on London yesterday to demand that the UK does not become independent of the EU.  If they succeed in overturning the EU Referendum the pro-EU faction in the UK will be completely empowered.  The path to the full integration of the UK with the EU will be open and the UK will no longer block the EU project as it has done for the last 30 years.

If the Referendum were overturned in a Second Referendum the pro-EU faction will say that the Second Referendum authorises their policies.  The UK will join the Eurozone with national budgetary policy being set by the Eurogroup like other Eurozone countries.  The UK representatives on the EU Council will approve further integration and extensions to EU control.  (See Reasons for Independence).

If the pro-EU extremists succeed then, with the backing of the UK, the EU will rapidly become a full nation and EU nationalism will be ascendant.  Looking at the nationalist flags and EU nationalist fervour on the faces of the crowd in London made me shudder with recognition, there is a dangerous contagion spreading through Europe that is about a new nationalism, not love and peace.

EU Nationalists Marching in London


A note on the EU Far Right

The UK is the only country in Europe where the European Movement does not openly declare that the EU project is about full political union in the EU.  In the UK they maintain the fiction that ever closer integration has no effect on independence because the British middle class desperately want to believe this.  There is no doubt at all that the foundational literature of the EU, the preambles to the Treaties and almost all non-UK EU leaders say that political union is the goal of the EU.  The EU Nationalists in the UK simply lie through their teeth about this hoping to confuse the voters (like Briar Rabbit!).

As the Eurozone countries become more integrated EU Nationalism is a growing policy amongst the EU Far Right.  The Far Right in the EU have beliefs that lie to the right of the British UKIP party.  In France Marine Le Pen's "National Rally" party is looking like a major contender in the May EU Parliamentary elections and even looks like becoming the main opposition to Macron in 2022.  Hungary has a far right government and Italy is, by British standards, far right.  Even in Germany the far right AfD is the main opposition party. At present these parties have been linked to the old nation states but with the recent policy shift of National Rally and AfD to working within the Eurozone it will be EU Nationalism that will complete their rise to power.  The defeat of the UK by the EU would vindicate their policy shift, confirming that no nation will ever gain independence from the EU. The fact that the pro-EU faction in the UK oppose the diversity offered by nations and openly talk of the "benefits" of us all being the same shows that they are racists who may well swing behind the EU Nationalism of the EU Right given enough time.  The EU will be on the march and we have seen that march before in Europe.

The Falklands have always been Argentine - Las Malvinas son Argentinas

"The Falklands have always been Argentine" is taught to every Argentine child as a matter of faith.  What was Argentina during the time when it "always" possessed Las Malvinas?  In this article I will trace the history of Argentina in the context of its physical and political relationship with "Las Malvinas", the Falkland Islands.  The Argentine claim to the Falkland Islands dates from a brief episode in 1831-32 so it is like Canada claiming the USA despite two centuries of separate development. This might sound like ancient history but Argentina has gone to war for this ancient claim so the following article is well worth reading. For a summary of the legal case see: Las Malvinas: The Legal Case Argentina traces its origins to Spanish South America when it was part of the Viceroyalty of the Rio del Plata.  The Falklands lay off the Viceroyalty of Peru, controlled by the Captain General of Chile.  In 1810 the Falklands were far from the geographical b...

Practical Idealism by Richard Nicolaus Coudenhove-Kalergi

Coudenhove-Kalergi was a pioneer of European integration. He was the founder and President for 49 years of the Paneuropean Union. His parents were Heinrich von Coudenhove-Kalergi, an Austro-Hungarian diplomat, and Mitsuko Aoyama, the daughter of an oil merchant, antiques-dealer, and huge landowner family in Tokyo. His "Pan-Europa" was published in 1923 and contained a membership form for the Pan-Europa movement. Coudenhove-Kalergi's movement held its first Congress in Vienna in 1926. In 1927 the French Prime Minister, Aristide Briand was elected honorary president.  Personalities attending included: Albert Einstein, Thomas Mann and Sigmund Freud. Figures who later became central to founding the EU, such as Konrad Adenauer became members . His basic idea was that democracy was a transitional stage that leads to rule by a new aristocracy that is largely taken from the Jewish "master race" (Kalergi's terminology). His movement was reviled by Hitler and H...

Membership of the EU: pros and cons

5th December 2013, update May 2016 Nigel Lawson, ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer,  recently criticised the UK membership of the EU , the media has covered his mainstream view as if he is a bad boy starting a fight in the school playground, but is he right about the EU? What has changed that makes EU membership a burning issue?  What has changed is that the 19 countries of the Eurozone are now seeking political union to escape their financial problems.   Seven further EU countries have signed up to join the Euro but the British and Danish have opted out.  The EU is rapidly becoming two blocks - the 26 and Britain and Denmark.   Lawson's fear was that if Britain stays in the EU it will be isolated and dominated by a Eurozone bloc that uses "unified representation of the euro area" , so acting like a single country which controls 90% of the vote in the EU with no vetoes available to the UK in most decisions.  The full plans for Eurozone po...
