2. J'ACCUSE! EU Fake History, Fake Democracy, Fake news!
27, November, 2017

- * Schuman’s Proposal saved Europe from catastrophic wars. The EEC Customs Union didn’t.
- * Schuman said that the Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) made ‘war not only unthinkable but materially impossible.’ The EEC was about trade and customs.
- * The first Community healed relations with post-Nazi Germany. Rome didn’t.
- * Schuman created the bases for solidarity, democracy, justice and a means to define Europe’s destiny and service to the world.
- * Schuman provided the means for Freedom-loving Democrats to deal with the inevitable forces of globalization.
- * The first Community defined the FIVE democratic institutions. Rome didn’t.
- * The first Community introduced supranational Democracy. Rome didn’t.
- * The ECSC created Europe’s first Single Markets in 1953. Rome didn’t.
- * De Gaulle attacked Schuman. He tried to destroy the Community system.
- * De Gaulle invented the Franco-German axis as the motor of Europe because he could then control Germany.
- * De Gaulle turned the EEC into a milch cow so that up to 70 percent of taxpayers money was spent on the CAP and farmers, usually French peasants.
- * De Gaulle would not attend Schuman’s funeral and stopped Adenauer, who had already agreed, from attending.
- * De Gaulle had nothing to do with European Reconciliation. Adenauer wrote that Schuman achieved this in 1950. De Gaulle wanted to expand French borders to the Rhine!
- * De Gaulle was an autocrat. He hated political parties.
- * De Gaulle refused to have elections to the European Parliament and persuaded Adenauer to stop these elections too. Because of de Gaulle, Europeans have never had a proper election to the European Parliament.
- * Instead of open democracy of the treaties, politicians preferred the Gaullist distortion of secretive power in the Council and Commission.
- * Instead of the Community sectoral system (coal, steel, atomic energy, customs) that each required full democratic consent, politicians wanted to control all sectors of the European economy.
- * Instead of an impartial, Jury-like Commission that excluded politicians brandishing party cards, the politicians wanted to exclude non-partisan, impartial citizens such as experienced diplomats, engineers, scientists, academics, trade unionists, inventors from becoming members of the Commission. Schuman and the Founding Fathers realized that the European system cannot be placed in the hands of politicians alone. It must be open to impartial citizens of high moral character, exercising their God-given rights to freedom. Why? Because, as Schuman knew and said, politicians have the tendency not only not to resist the corruption of power but to obscure its very existence. They tend to follow party over public interest, individual interest over collective interest.

The Council press release to the Delegations announced two conspiratorial measures: Money and political Might. The politicians would spend a great deal of European tax-payers’ money on propaganda and press management. Secondly their political might would FORCE the articles of the failed Constitutional Treaty through the parliaments. They would use their national party-controlled majorities against virulent protest and righteous objections of the public. They did not call this a Conspiracy against the people. They called it “Consultations” with fellow politicians!

Council press release 22 February 2007“Pursuing reform: the Constitutional Treaty.As agreed by the European Council at its meeting of June 2006, the Union has followed a two-track approach. It has focused on making best use of the possibilities offered by the existing treaties to deliver concrete results while preparing the ground for continuing the reform process. The presidency (of the Council of Ministers) provided the European Council with an assessment of the consultation with Member States regarding the Constitutional Treaty. The outcome of these consultations will be passed to the German Presidency as part of its preparation for the report to be presented during the first half of 2007. The European Council reaffirms the importance of commemorating the 50th anniversary of the treaties of Rome in order to confirm the importance of the European integration process.”

- * The Community method requires one European election (not 28 national ones) to the European Parliament. That is still in the treaties.
- * It requires elections to the Consultative Committees. (That is also still in the treaties.)
- * It requires card-carrying politicians to be banned from the European Commission. (That is still in the treaties.)
- * It requires the Council of Ministers to be open to the public, just like the parliament, when they ‘consider, discuss and vote’ on any draft legislation. (That is still in the treaties.)

- * Have elections as required under a single Statute to the European Parliament.
- * Ban active politicians from the Commission.
- * Open up the Council of Ministers to the public and the press.
- * Make the Judges in the Court of Justice democratically responsible.
- * Hold elections of properly constituted European professional associations to the Consultative Committees. Stop lobbyists altogether.
- * Replace the secretive COREPER and thousands of closed ‘expert’ committees with elected expert members of these democratic organizations.
