Galileo satellite system is the 'Project X' of the EU!

"Europe's Galileo satellite navigation system is "stupid", "doomed to failure" and driven by French military interests, the CEO of a large German company involved in the project has claimed" so began an article in the EU Observer this week, linked here. Open Europe on the next day reported that nevertheless it would go ahead although "EU Industry Commissioner Antonio Tajani admitted yesterday that an extra €1.9bn will be needed to complete the EU’s Galileo satellite system".  WHY might this be?

This blog has made clear our own suspicions about this dreadful expense with its fearful consequences, read here. I therefore hardly needed more than a few seconds to see the similarity with Project X when I arrived at the truth behind that similar plan in Ayn Gland's wonderfully perceptive novel Atlas Shrugged.

In the book the completely evil and thoroughly corrupted Progressive politicians, but at this stage, more particularly, their completely "in control" bureaucrats have secretly developed a sound device that can be finely targeted to destroy any object organic and inorganic. With the entire country desolated and industry at a halt, the starving population thus need to be threatened for those in charge to feel secure. Such is the book's  end result, when all is taken from each according to his ability and given to each according to his need. Those 'going Galt' (disappearing) and others of productive effort and ability taking only the most menial jobs in order to survive might finally bring change, but for those still wishing to read the book (which I heartily recommend and have provided full details on earlier posts) I will give no more of the plot away.

 How can the anti-democratic Progressive politicians of the EU, as now typified by the three proudly Progressive leaders of Britain's three main parties, David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband use the Galileo Satellite system to control the population. Read this link on the latest radio tracking devices now available to be read via staellites from here. Ask yourself what individual freedom or liberties can be attained when unelected and unreplaceable authorities can track any individuals every movement. Put that knowledge against the known fact that Galileo has no conceivable useful purpose when compared against existing technology already freely available, and there is only one reason available as to why the evil men in the EU continue to both deny any democracy and waste billions on this satellite system.

Obama in Strasbourg - a blind eye to putative tyranny

The speech by President Obama to an audience consisting mainly of students and dubbed as 'town hall style' with time for questions at the end was in most parts a brilliant demonstration of the new President's grasp of detail and oratorical gifts. If you missed it try and find an online version to watch on video, a link to the Washington Post gives the written version from here. Many might consider these two paragraphs as the grist of the message for Europe when he actually spoke of the Nato Alliance which celebrates its 60th anniversary today: In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.

But in Europe, there is an anti-Americanism that is at once casual but can also be insidious. Instead of recognizing the good that America so often does in the world, there have been times where Europeans choose to blame America for much of what's bad.

There could, however, be another passage which might be remembered by history as of far greater significance and it is this: We take for granted the peace of a Europe that's united, but for centuries Strasbourg has been attacked and occupied and claimed by the warring nations of this continent. Now, today in this city, the presence of the European Parliament and the Council of Europe stand as symbols of a Europe that is united, peaceful and free. (Applause.) It is one thing for the military minds in the Pentagon to allow strategic and military considerations to override the realities of democratic legitimacy as I discussed on this blog yesterday, linked here, but it is quite another for a recently elected new President of the USA and himself the head of a party bearing the proud name "Democrats", especially one so well-informed on a multitude of details about the world and its present parlous state, to turn a blind eye to the potentially tyrannical structure of the Strasbourg Parliament that he here extolled! The oft repeated claim that the EU brought peace to Europe is a blatant lie. The forerunners to the EU were merely discussing wine lakes and butter mountains while the real work was undertaken elsewhere. The USA has of necessity always been somewhat selective in picking allies with regimes lacking the basics of democracy, particularly in the second half of the last century in South America. It is distressing, to say the least, to find a new President, celebrating the 60 birthday of the organisation that truly has brought peace to the world, turn his back on the democratic aspirations of some half a billion Europeans! We must hope common sense prevails and that in the coming days, hopefully this weekend in Prague, President Obama will acknowledge the democratic deficit that increases each day within the EU and not turn a blind eye as was done in the 1930s with such horrific costs!

EU Plan to cost Britain 25 Billion Pounds - Bruges Group Study

The new report on the Credit Crunch problems for the EU issued by the Bruges Group and written by Damon Lambert titled "The EU's Credibility Crunch" may be read online from this link. The final paragraph sums up its forty odd pages pretty well as follows: Contrary to the EU’s claims, the economic crisis does not show the ever greater need for the EU. Instead, the EU is shown either to be at best an expensive irrelevance to economic recovery and at worst, responsible for many of the factors that both cause the downturn and impede the recovery. Its time the role and responsibilities of this undemocractic body were re-examined and redrawn.
