The Lisbon Treaty: Confusion Rains!!

a0_enda.JPG

Enda Kenny Has a Hotline to Hitler!

The pious devout people of lovely pissing Ireland go to the poles today in order to pass their opinion on the Lisbon Treaty, an important document that will facilitate the efficient running of the European superstate: Making things run more efficient is usually a euphemism which mean to take all the mucky democracy out of processes (look, for instance, at how Mussolini make the trains more run on time: He did not do it using democracy!) Therefore, you would think that someone like me, a religious, disciplinarian, holy believer in all things authoritarian, would automatically be opting for the YES camp in this referendum, albeit in spite of the fact that I don’t think people should be having a vote in the first place. You would be wrong, however, if that is what you think. For, if the Irish newspapers are to be believed (and that’s another story!), it would seem that all the people like me in Ireland are in the NO camp. Nationalists, patriots, Holy Roman Catholics, anti-abortionists, anti-homosexuals (but who may or may not be doing research into lady lesbians), anti-immigrationists, and people who wish Gay Byrne was still running the country are all saying that the Treaty should be rejected because it allow the Eurocrats to set Irish tax rates, legalize trades unions, make homosexuality compulsory, and, worstest of all, establish a European-wide superstate army which is at odds with Ireland’s long tradition of sneaky fighting. Is all very much confusing!

You might think that what all these NO people are forgetting is that the European superstate was originally the idea of Adolf Hitler and therefore should be instinctively supported. I was reading recently a very good book, although it was also a bit academic and therefore not to be trusted, called The Wages of Destruction, about how Hitler make Germany such a wonderful place to live in with his fascist esconomic policies. The author of the book is observing that Hitler’s plan was always to unite Europe in opposition to the United States. Hitler could already see which way the wind was blowing in the early 20th century: Britain as an empire was in decline after World War I, Germany did not have colonies and needed to espand into Eastern Europe not by making its people slaves like England had done but by driving the people there out and giving the land to proper Germans (he must have got the idea from the Plantations in Ireland!), and the United States, which was run by the Judaeo-Masonic Illuminati cabal, was the rising force in the world that would dominate everything if it was not stopped. Even I must grudgingly admit that, even though Hitler was not a proper fascist, at least he got all this right!

The European Community was effectively established in original in order to help cement the opposition to America, to make life easier for Interpol (Hitler’s old international police force), and to prevent ever again a war between Germany and France, who realized that only by pooling resources could they compete in the American century (was also a way of sticking up two fingers back at Winston Churchill and the English, with their so-called “Special Reliationship” with the American Illuminati). Little by little the plan has taken shape to integrate all the other countries into the European Union, all of them under the umbrella of France and Germany, bought off with economic aid and gravy train bribes for each nation’s civil servants, so that finally Hitler’s dream of a hegemonic counterforce to the American beast was formed.

Why then are Ireland’s fascists so opposed to the European superstate? Well, Manuel, you say to me, they are not. Fine Gael, who was always Ireland’s fascists in the good old days, are supporting Hitler’s dream. At least they are being consistent. Good point, reader, I will say in reply, but Enda Kenny and her minions took off their jackboots many years ago and pass them on to such devout organizations as Youth Defence, Coir, Sinn Fein, and Libertas. How come it is today’s fascists who are complaining?

Wait a minute, Manuel, you say, annoying me now a little bit because this is my blog. Who is this Libertas that you are name-dropping? Is this a right-to-life organization or some odd far right movement that pretend to include freedom in its objectives? For that is what it sound like. Yes, you are right, I reply with remarkable tolerance, indeed it does, but in fact what it is, is an organization of American defence contractors who are opposed to the Lisbon Treaty because it undermines American hegemonic interests. The United States Illuminati will do everything in their power to ensure that Israel is defended and that no continental rivals will arise to compete in the race for oil, wind power, hamburgers, Hollywood supermodels, and hard drugs (the real reason why the war is being fought in Afghanistan). Although Libertas is saying that the Lisbon Treaty is undermining democracy and Ireland’s national sovereignty, they are not fully explaining to the public why this is a bad thing, and the reason they cannot do that is that they do not believe it. But then neither do I, for that matter - an international brotherhood of fascists is a contradiction in terms unless we are willing to meet each other half way.

And therein lies the crux of the matter. I think today’s modern Irish fascists have not yet come to terms with the idea of surrendering some national sovereignty for the greater good of a European pan-fascist superstate. Only Fine Gael and the farmers’ unions, traditionally the two bastions of Irish fascism, have been playing the game long enough to understand that fascism must move with the times: Fascism must look backwards but move forwards. An international feudal superstate will not be established unless we can convince fascists across the continent to unite.

Join me then in saying to the good people of Ireland:

Vote NO to the Judaeo-Masonic American Hegemonic Supremacy!!

Vote YES to Hitler’s Dream!!

    Note from slovenly ILR Editor: The attentive reader will notice that Manuel wrote this before the vote was cast and its clear from the result that Ireland wants to be part of the Judaeo-Masonic American Hegemonic Supremacy (and to make Declan Ganley President of Ireland, no doubt). It has been up on his blog since Thursday but I was visiting his beautiful country and have only got around to putting it up on ILR now. Still, I think his original point about Enda Kenny stands.

  • Kevin Doogan - Not all that is solid | New Humanist

    Analysis of global foreign direct investment patterns also reveals two interesting and counter-intuitive trends. FDI expands during boom periods and contracts during recessions. To blame job losses on capital migration is questionable. Secondly the lion's share of overseas investment goes to the rich rather than poor countries. Between 1980 and 2006 the developed economies' share of global FDI inward stock has grown from 56 per cent to 70 per cent, consolidating their position as the prime target for overseas investment. In other words capital moves abroad to access rich markets rather than exploit cheap labour. This shows that fears of exporting jobs are not related to the actuality of capital relocation but to the threat of jobs going overseas. Research in America, where fears of overseas job loss have a much higher profile than in Europe, shows that companies use the threat of corporate relocation in order to maintain the compliance of trade unions during contract negotiations.

  • Patrick Cockburn | The Case Against Tony Blair

    The case against Tony Blair has revolved too much around his good faith and too little around his competence. The placards held up by protestors on Friday as he gave evidence should have read “sucker” and “dope” rather than “Bliar”.

    Amateurs have a fluency denied to professionals because they see no “ifs” and “buts” which would interrupt the flow of their argument. Books proving that Bacon wrote Shakespeare are often highly articulate and have great narrative pace because their authors see all facts pointing to the same inevitable conclusion.

    It is this mixture of amateurism and evangelical conviction which made Blair such a lethally inept leader before and during the war in Iraq. His greatest weakness was not so much that he adjusted facts to support his policies, but that he had so little grasp of the facts in the first place.

  • Victor Grossman | Oskar Lafontaine and the Troubled German Left

    While German politicians stared at the calendar, wondering nervously what the May 9th elections will bring in the biggest state, North Rhine-Westphalia, with its 18 million people, media attention suddenly switched to a personal drama within the party called Die Linke (The Left). A few years ago this party or its predecessors were getting laughed off the political map. But what is happening today in that party could re-draw the whole map.

  • Henry A. Giroux’s tribute to Howard Zinn | Howard Zinn: A Public Intellectual Who Mattered

    "I grew up in Providence, Rhode Island, and rarely met or read any working-class intellectuals. After reading James Baldwin, hearing William Kunstler and Stanley Aronowitz give talks, I caught a glimpse of what it meant to occupy such a fragile, contradictory and often scorned location. But reading Howard gave me the theoretical tools to understand more clearly how the mix of biography, cultural capital and class location could be finely honed into a viable and laudable politics.

    Later, as I got to know Howard personally, I was able to fill in the details about his working-class background and his intellectual development. We had grown up in similar neighborhoods, shared a similar cultural capital and we both probably learned more from the streets than we had ever learned in formal schooling. There was something about Howard's fearlessness, his courage, his willingness to risk not just his academic position, but also his life, that marked him as special."

  • The Real News | Haiti and the ‘Devil’s Curse’

    Excellent 12 minute news segment from the Real News on Haiti’s history of poverty, which includes a critical examination of how mainstream media is reporting this history without mentioning the impact that various foreign interventions has had on the country.

    According to Peter Hallward, author of Damming the Flood: Haiti, Aristide, and the Politics of Containment Haiti’s poverty can be explained as a series of foreign responses to the independence and strength of the Haitian people, but since the media doesn’t acknowledge this, they are forced to propose weakness and bad luck as the sources of Haiti’s poverty.

  • k-punk: Spectres of revolution

    Mark Fisher, author of Capitalist Realism, is talking about "Revolution" :
    "So let's be clear. I'm very far from saying that nothing can ever change. There has been some discussion of whether Capitalist Realism is a pessimistic book. For me, it isn't pessimistic, but it is negative. The pessimism is already embedded in everyday life - it is what Zizek would call the "spontaneous unreflective ideology" of our times. Identifying the embedded, unreflective pessimism is an act of negativity which, I hope, can make some contribution to denaturalizing that pessimism (which, by its very nature, does not identify itself as such, and is covered over by a compulsory positivity which forbids negativity). Far from nothing ever changing, something already has changed, massively - the bank crisis was an event without a subject, whose implications are yet to be played out. The terrain - the crashed present, littered with the ideological rubble of failed projects - is there to be fought over."

  • UK company law is terrorism’s friend | Prem Sikka | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk

    Over the years, I have conducted many investigations into dubious corporate practices for newspapers, radio and television programmes and the trail always leads to tax havens, which hold no public information about the individuals behind those companies. The registered address is about the only publicly available information. One building in the Cayman Islands, a UK overseas territory, is the registered address of 18,857 corporations. British Virgin Islands, another UK overseas territory, with a population of 23,000 has more than 813,000 registered companies, the highest number per capita in the world. These companies rarely carry out any trade in their locales, but facilitate secrecy to their owners.
