French President Macron engages Europe's chronic Democracy Scandal
At long last! The French agree to look into how their diplomats scammed European citizens.
Ten or Twelve Votes per person?
Why have there never been proper elections in the European Union? In any normal democracy the principle is one elector, one vote. All votes are deemed equal in national law.
Not in the European Union!
Some voters get the equivalent of ten or twelve votes. A large number of citizens have their votes diluted to satisfy this aberration. Why does it exist? This scandal has been going on for years and years. It’s not the only one. There are scads of electoral tricks like this that rob the honest voter out of electoral rights.
Where is the brake mechanism?
How did it happen? Who is to blame? The core fault lies squarely and unambiguously with the French Foreign Ministry, the Quai d’Orsay.
Why hasn’t it been stopped? Why hasn’t real democracy been instituted?
Ask the European leaders. Who benefits from this scandalous operation?
The basis of any solid government is TRUST. How can the European voters and taxpayers have any trust in a rigged system? How can such distortions be corrected?
Ask the French president! That’s what I did.
More later.
The EU is full of such antidemocratic aberrations. Secretive meetings of the powerful are the opposite of open democracy. A democracy should be able ‘to throw the rascals out,’ to reverse unjust policies of leaders.
At the present the EU vies with North Korea or Communist China in its dictatorial anti-people, autocratic procedures. It is just more subtle than the Chinese Communists.
Take the way that the EU is also presently ruled by the few not the people. The system has an ever-worsening Democratic Deficit. It has been called out for decades.
Distrust is rife.
How can trust be rebuilt? The system can be corrected if the French would take honest action about Europe’s constitutional Charter.
Parliament as puppy
Openness, transparency of decision-making and public accountability are the basis of democracy.
Is the European Parliament the guardian and watchdog of Europe’s democracy? Who heads this watchdog? Its President or Speaker. Who is this person? None other that the lap dog of the secret clique who meet to decide all important issues! The European Council even announces the name of the Speaker of parliament after they have finished bargaining. In total absence of any MEPs!
And what does the public know about the goings-on in the meetings of the leaders in European Council? Nothing. They refuse to have anyone, even their president of the parliament, present when they discuss matters! They refuse to have open sessions. No press. No public cameras. Just PR rumors, tasty crumbs from their table to distract those outside.
They despise the public! Despise? Yes, what other word can be applied to people who refuse any public access even though the treaties they signed say all their meetings should be open to the public?
Who is this secretive clique? The European Council, EUCO, selects those that fit in with the policies of the national leaders. They are called presidents of institutions — many presidents/leaders of this and that. They are selected in utmost privacy by self-appointed king-makers, partisan government leaders.
To make the antidemocratic affront worse, they do this blatantly. The European Council closes its doors while the public and the press wait outside. They know what they are going to discuss and decide on — decisions affecting all aspects of lives and future of Europeans. But the citizenry has no power to resist. It is not informed. Gagged. The public is totally excluded from analysing this political horse-trading and deciding accountabilities.
And the European Parliament’s analysis? The President or Speaker is excluded from the EUCO discussions. What sauce! How can the Parliament control anything? The leader of the prime democratic institution is selected in secret by people who are not parliamentarians but have their own political motives! And then the Speaker is not able to speak to parliamentarians about what the bosses decide and how they came to conclusions!
The European Parliament should provide the control mechanism to prevent this North Korea style autocracy getting out of hand. But what if the Parliament too is rigged and the same people make sure that it is too toothless to bite on the fundamental problem of democracy?
A puppy with no teeth. It can only lap milk in its kennel.
That is where we stand today.
Nationalist clique
Many of the ruling class denounce ‘nationalists’ and ‘populists’ as a rising problem. Why do so many Europeans oppose the Council’s policies that they see as self-serving political ideology? The reality is that the European Union is not really ‘European’. It is is run by a group of national leaders with their own Brussels-knows-best ideology and interests. The institutions that are supposed to voice European interest and define the European good have systematically been blocked and stymied over the years.
How has this been done? Well, it all devolves on the French Foreign Ministry again and what they did or didn’t do years back.
So what are Europeans left with? At best some of the EU leadership today are ‘inter-nationalist’ in that they take instructions from the United Nations or the United States and commercial, globalist conglomerates in preference to European citizens. That’s not the way to respond to Europeans’ present and future needs.
How do we know how Brussels makes this choice? A lot of policies are not very popular. Anti-European demonstrations are numerous. Fireworks blast out their discontent. Tractors block the streets. Public opinion opposes the policies. They have to be enforced against the public. And why are they unpopular? Because the main policies lead to impoverishment of the population.
Secrecy hides motives. Secrecy can lead to subversion. When the public protests that Council policies as crazy, illogical, unscientific and geopolitically perverse, one should ask: Are outside powers manipulating European policies in Unrestricted Warfare? Why is the West suddenly in decline? Where is the analysis?
Sirens of War
The big red warning light is flashing! The European Community was founded on the solid principles of seeking and attaining peace. It worked. It brought peace for the first time in two thousand years.
It is now being subverted on a grand scale. Global politics have reversed Europe’s fortunes. Why instead of promoting peace on the Continent, has the European Council let a situation develop where, just outside their borders, the Continent is burning with war, young people are massacred and maimed and the morgues are full of cold, dead bodies?
How do real Europeans get an effective governmental system that serves them at the European level and individually? How can they restore the original principles of peace and prosperity?
That is what the Europe’s Great Charter of the Community, signed by the founding fathers, is designed to do.
It is that key Charter of Human Rights that the French Foreign Ministry blocked.
Europeans have a right to know why.
They have a right to see Europe’s Great Charter become fully active. It was designed to become the shield of people’s rights.
That is the issue that France needs to address with urgency.
