A PLEA TO IRISH VOTERS: Say NO to Lisbon Treaty

This self-amending treaty is a treaty to end all treaties. This is our last chance to avoid it! If Ireland votes Yes, there will be no need for any treaty referendums... ever!

Note on the rejected EU Constitution and Lisbon Treaty:

The people of France and the Netherlands rejected the proposed EU constitution in the 2005 referendums. After this, other countries cancelled a promised referendum and the EU Constitution was re-written as an "amending treaty" or a "reform treaty" and named "Treaty of Lisbon".

On the basis of this deceit, they claimed that no referendums are necessary on the Lisbon Treaty. Ireland is constitutionally required to hold a referendum, expected 12 June. All other countries are ratifying the disguised EU Constitution without asking the people.

The Lisbon Treaty establishes a new "European Union" with joint citizenship - an EU "federal" State that is technically and politically empowered to centralize power in Brussels; a European State comprising of 27 nation-states ruled by a triumvirate of European institutions led by the unelected EU Commission, that would serve as the governing body of the Union, and which holds a monopoly on iniating legislation in ever-increasing areas of "competence" (eurospeak for power).

With co-decision powers to block legislation, but never to initiate it, the European Council comprises of representatives of the governments of member states, where unanimity is becoming a thing of the past. This ineffectual co-decision process is shared with the European Parliament, which is the only directly elected institution and the only channel for European citizens to possibly reverse the totalitarian trend and preserve democracy in a free Europe.

come on buddy can we lose the music please?

[europarl]

no, that's the genre - take it or leave it

[Nietzchee]

Should I remind you that the "bastards" that ratify the treaty were elected DEMOCRATICLY??? ARE YOU SO SHORT-MINDED THAT YOU DIDNT SEE THAT? YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT EUROPE HAS DONE FOR US? SHAME ON YOU. SHAME ON IRISH PEOPLE FOR NOT

[europarl]

May I remind you that those democratically elected representatives have no authority to ratify a constitution that supersedes the national constitution without asking the people whether they want to submit to this higher constitution.

Seriously;

O Fortuna and Lux Aeterna is on every video since 2007. It begins to sound petulant and childish after the fist thousand. Like some medieval Alex Jones masturbatory fear-fest. As though the evil overlords have more power than we give them.

They only have as much power as we agree that they have.

Turn off the crappy music and stop paying taxes. Grow your own food and start a debt-free currency. Stop giving them power and turn on some Pink Floyd.

[Teranex]

Thank god Irish voted yes. The smart decision.

[padraigomairtin]

Hey Thorneel! Maybe it's time to get out and meet new people. Respect the Irish people's democratic right to change their mind on the Lisbon Treaty

[thorneel]

I voted no! I dont even know 1 person in my place of work or my community that voted yes and yet the yes vote won. The vote was rigged, have a look at - Irish Referendum Count at Cork City Hall- on youtube for proof.

[pajo1982]

Haha we voted yes.

Losers!

[smoskprosk]

Fuck the Lisbon Treaty, we didn't even get to vote if we accepted it or not here in Sweden.
