EUROPE’S chief bureaucrat last night provoked fury after threatening to use the “full force” of the Lisbon Treaty to impose economic control over every EU nation. European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso claimed that financial stability was so critical that sweeping new powers were needed for Eurocrats in Brussels to meddle in the economies of all EU members.The Real Effect
But his threat sparked an angry backlash from critics of an ever- growing Brussels bureaucracy. It raised fears that the EU – under unelected new President Herman van Rompuy – is planning a power grab.
This is a game of good cop/bad cop with the current EU heads playing the part of the bad cops. Their goal is several fold:
- Delegitimize any form of representative government as being 'reckless' by allowing and being subject to the will of the plebs and also inefficient/corrupt due to the massive bureaucratic nature.
- Eliminate the rationale for protests and free speech as being dangerous and in line with point 1.
- Slowly whittle down all effective individual liberties.
- Replace those liberties with collective liberty.
- Set up the rule of a monocratic rule of government with one individual effectively dictating the form of global law and worship.
