Welcome to the Nazi / Communist federal dictatorship

Since nobody, not even our "elected representatives" in Europe were able to vote for or against Van Rompuy we must refuse to recognize either him or his office.

Brussels, Belgium (CNN) -- Belgium's prime minister, Herman Van Rompuy, has been appointed the first "president of Europe," British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Thursday.

Catherine Ashton of the United Kingdom is to become the EU's foreign minister, Brown said.

The leaders of the 27 member states of the European Union made the decision behind closed doors in Brussels Thursday.

Van Rompuy, a soft-spoken fan of Japanese poetry, beat out contenders including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair for a post whose duties are not yet clear.

The Belgian is "well known as a consensus builder," said Brown, who added the selection was unanimous.

Brown had realized earlier that Blair did not have enough support among key decision-makers to snag the new post, a Brown representative told CNN earlier.

The post was created by the European Union's Lisbon Treaty -- which came into force this month, after years of torturous negotiations, as a replacement for the rotating six-month presidency of the bloc.

Although the EU prides itself on being a club of democracies, the process of choosing its new leader was far from transparent or open.

The people of Europe had no say, not even through their parliamentarians.

Blair started as the favorite. He was, according his backers (who at first included President Nicolas Sarkozy of France) just the sort of glamorous figure, recognized the world over, who would win attention for the EU and enable it to exercise its weight in world affairs.

As one Indian official said before the announcement: "If the EU chooses as its worldwide representative the prime minister of Belgium or Luxembourg I am not sure our leaders will have the time to meet him."

But others were soon arguing that, as former U.S. President George W. Bush's leading ally over Iraq, Blair is a divisive figure in Europe. The one man who might have been able to take Britain into the European single currency, he had not even attempted to do so while he was Britain's prime minister.

Public backing from Italy's Silvio Berlusconi, a joke figure to much of Europe and another Bush ally, did not help.

Absolutely shocking the way things are going. You can smell farmed social chaos a mile away!

The cat is definitely out of the bag now. Unelected world government it is.

Old-Thinker News
The new EU President, Herman Van Rompuy, has proclaimed 2009 as the "first year of global governance." During Rompuy's intervention as President on November 19th, he stated,
"2009 is also the first year of global governance, with the establishment of the G20 in the middle of the financial crisis. The climate conference in Copenhagen is another step towards the global management of our planet."
Rompuy attended a Bilderberg dinner at Hertoginnendal, Brussels on November 15th, during which he announced a plan to implement EU wide taxes that will be paid directly to Brussels. Recently Mario Borghezio (Italy), member of the European Parliament, spoke openly against the influence of globalist organizations such as the Bilderberg Group and the Trilateral Commission. "Is it possible that no one has noticed that all 3 (EU Presidential candidates) frequently attend Bilderberg or Trilateral meetings?," asked Borghezio. Rompuy will undoubtedly serve globalist interests during his reign of the European Union

*'Sweeps' NOTE:
…Nigel Farage on VIDEO…the leader of the UKIP…has created quite a stir with this! He tears apart the EU President Herman van Rompuy…speaking in the Euro Parliament. Enjoy, BECAUSE 'he' speaks I hope for the majority of us. If the representatives we elect no longer make our laws…why should we obey them?
Thanks/'S'

I heard Farage on the radio the day after this speech.

A lot of people were upset, seeing his 'outburst' as being rude, etc.

I must agree that he does not hold back with his comments, but he is only saying what others are thinking - and often too timid to actually say. His attack was based on issues such as democracy, accountability and this is very much justified. Attacking the EU President for not being known here is the result of the EU not doing a good PR job by promoting him.

What Farage did not do was unleash a tirade of swear words - that would indeed have been unacceptable.

Calling Belgium a 'non-country' upset some people, and maybe that was getting close to the edge, Thats the only part of what he said that I thought was 'too much'.
