EU: Seeking Centralized Military Power
Many people - and nations - have accepted the globalist propaganda about the European Union being an organization aimed at promoting trade and prosperity. If that were the case, there would be no need for the gigantic bureaucratic juggernaut that is being constructed in Brussels. It is about power and control, not about removing trade barriers. Stark evidence for the real intentions behind the agenda of the elite globalists driving the growth of the EU comes from its steadily growing military activities. For example, consider the opening paragraph from a recent article in The Economist, "Charlemagne: Back to Bosnia" (March 19, 2005, p. 60):
ON A snowy mountain pass in Bosnia this week, Italian carabinieri set up a road-block to check passing vehicles for contraband. Resplendent in their dark-blue uniforms with red piping—to which many had added the personal touch of a goatee beard and wrap-round dark glasses—the Italians made a striking sight. But to the politically attuned observer, the most significant part of their get-up was the badges on their arms, which bore the yellow stars on a blue background of the European Union. Bosnia, the scene of perhaps the EU's biggest foreign-policy humiliation, is now the venue for the biggest test so far of its military ambitions. Last December, a 7,000-strong force under EU command, known as EUFOR, quietly took over control of peacekeeping operations in Bosnia from NATO.
Why a military organization? Because the EU, like NAFTA and its more powerful soon-to-be-born child, the FTAA, is not about free trade, but the ultimate suppression of freedom through the centralization of power, and maintaining power and control always involves military muscle. If America follows Europe by yielding our sovereignty to foreign bureaucrats in the deceptive name of "free trade" and prosperity, we will continue to find our independence weakened. Ultimately, multinational military power will reign supreme, with absolute power in the hands of a very few absolutely corrupted men.
There is still time. It is urgent that we oppose the FTAA in this hemisphere and stand for American sovereignty.
