MILITARIZATION: SECRET AGREEMENTS AND NO UNITED NATIONS APPROVAL NEEDED

There is a whole series of top secret agreements between the European Union Council, the United States, Israel, England, the Netherlands and different defense forces and intelligence services, which the EU voters - and many times not even their members of parliament - are allowed to see nor hear about. But pay - for the secret militarization and infringements on their 'freedoms' - the misled taxpayer must.

Anthony Coughlan, the Secretary of the 'EU Research and Information Center' writes in his excellent article* on the NO to the EU, about the militarization of the EU, as part of the US neocon Empire, it is understood. "It militarizes the EU", Coughlan rightfully writes: "The Constitution points to the end of the formal military neutrality of Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Austria and Malta by replacing the 'Nice Treaty' provision that the progressive framing of a common defense policy "MIGHT lead to a common defense, SHOULD the European Council so decide"  with the provision in the
Constitution that it "WILL lead to a common defense, WHEN the European Council, acting unanimously, so decides "(Art.I-41).

That decision is clearly only a matter of time. The same Article requires all Member States "to make civilian and military capabilities available to the Union for the implementation of the common security and defense policy". The Constitution permits EU military operations to take place without a UN Charter mandate.  ( ! - HR )

Article I-16 gives the EU the power to conduct a common foreign and security policy covering "all areas of foreign policy and all questions relating to the Union's security, including the progressive framing of a common defense policy that might lead to a common defense". The same Article places Member States under an explicit constitutional obligation to refrain from following an independent foreign policy if that clashes with the EU one: "Member States shall actively and unreservedly support the Union's common foreign and security policy in a spirit of loyalty and mutual solidarity and shall comply with the Union's action in this area. They shall refrain from action contrary to the Union's interests or likely to impair its effectiveness." [ ].

Tony Bunyan, Editor of the excellent 'Statewatch', in an earlier comment: "This is another instance of secret policy making. European and national parliaments should be consulted and the texts made public so that there can be a debate as to their content and consequences.

Putting these agreements in place is not just about exchanging classified documents, it is also about the construction of a security regime for future cooperation on defense, foreign policy and justice and home affairs between the EU, non-EU states and international organizations. It is about tying in the acceding states and others into the aims and objectives of the EU-NATO-USA politico military axis." [ ]

With other words: the EU army with it's 'Rapid Deployment Forces', the US's infamous SSB-Gestapo ('Special CIA Forces' 'Rendering' - http://tinyurl.com/89dbf) and NATO troops - all under American so called NATO command in reality - is supposed to fight wars for the neocons without asking again for a UN resolution or a mandate of the Security Council of the United Nations.

War criminals do not get a UN mandate as long as the disgustingly brutal 'Bulldozer Bolton' has not succeeded in wrecking the whole UN as is his plan. He calls it reorganizing the UN. Normally one doesn't get a mandate when committing crimes against humanity all the time, like done by the US, Israel, England, the Netherlands and what's left of the bullied and bribed 'Coalition of the Killing' in their illegal wars.*

The 'Neocon Dream' and the global rule they work for has not come true yet, and through the Dutch NO vote now the plans are delayed for their 'European Province' of the US Empire, which in the future still more should be striking at will and 'covering' all illegal military occupations of energy rich countries, and other murderous actions, without any United Nations Security Council's approval, sanctions nor limits. It's by many seen like enlisting all 25 EU states in the inhuman neocon scheme.

Thanks to every day's 'home made laws' even legalizing torture - and like the EU 'Treaty' still is meant to become, there even will be - according to the neocons -'No More War criminals'!

The Dutch have a proverb: the brutal people have taken half the world, and try to get the rest.

That's too why so many people in open disgust said NO.
