From OneWorldScam

On the 2nd of October 2009, the people of Ireland once again hold the future of 500 million Europeans in their hands. In addition to the concerns of the Irish people regarding taxation, abortion and militarization, the responsibility of all 27 states sovereignty should also be considered with equal importance. If Ireland is the gateway of Europe, then the Irish people are the gatekeepers of Europes future; never again will the voice of the Irish people be heard so loud, if this treaty is ratified in its present form. We are almost at the point of no return and no amount of regret or lack of comprehension of the EUs true intentions will bring us back to this point again, unless the treaty is rejected once more.

1. Would be a power-grab by the Big States for control of the EU by basing EU law-making post-Lisbon primarily on population size.This would double Germany's voting power in making European laws from its present 8% to 17%, increase Britain's, France's and Italy's from 8% to 12% each, and halve Ireland's vote to 0.8%. How does having 0.8% of a vote in making EU laws put Ireland/ "at the heart of Europe"/ ? Taoiseach Brian Cowen's "guarantees" do not explain how having half as much influence in the EU as Ireland has today would induce the other Member States to listen to our concerns on unemployment and help to resolve the economic crisis in the interest of Irish companies, workers and farmers.

2.Would copperfasten the Laval and related judgements of the EU Court of Justice, which put the competition rules of the EU market above the rights of Trade Unions to enforce pay standards higher than the minimum wage for migrant workers. At the same time Lisbon would give the EU full control of immigration policy (Art.79 TFEU).

3. Would permit the post-Lisbon EU to impose Europe-wide taxes directly on us for the first time without need of further Treaties or referendums (Art.311 TFEU).

4. Would amend the existing treaties to give the EU exclusive power as regards rules on foreign direct investment (Arts.206-7 TFEU) and give the Court of Justice the power to order the harmonisation of national indirect taxes if it decides that this causes a/ "distortion of competition"/ in the market (Art.113 TFEU). These changes could undermine our 12.5% corporation profits tax, which is the principal attraction of Ireland for foreign business.

5. Would abolish our present right to/ "propose"/ and decide who Ireland's Commissioner is by replacing it with a right to make/"suggestions"only, leaving it up to the incoming Commission President to decide (Art.17.7 TEU). Our No vote last year secured us a commitment to a permanent Commissioner, but what is the point of every EU State continuing to have its own Commissioner post-Lisbon when it can no longer decide who that Commissioner will be?

6. Would give the European Union the Constitution of an EU Federal State which would have primacy over the Irish and other national Constitutions. This post-Lisbon EU would for the first time be legally separate from and superior to its 27 Member States and would sign international treaties with other States in all areas of its powers (Arts.1 and 47 TEU;/ Declaration 17 concerning Primacy/). In constitutional terms Lisbon would thereby turn Ireland into a regional or provincial state within this new Federal-style European Union, with the EU's Constitution and laws having legal primacy over the Irish Constitution and laws in any cases of conflict between the two.

7. Would turn us into real citizens for the first time of this new post-Lisbon European Union, owing obedience to its laws and loyalty to its authority over and above our obedience and loyalty to Ireland and the Irish Constitution and laws in the event of any conflict between the two. We would still keep our Irish citizenship, but it would be subordinate to our new EU citizenship and the rights and duties vis-a-vis the EU that would attach to that(Art.9 TEU).


8. Would give the EU Court of Justice the power to decide our rights as EU citizens by making the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights legally binding for the first time(Art.6 TEU) This would give power to the EU judges to use their case law to lay down a uniform standard of rights for the 500 million citizens of the post-Lisbon Union in the name of a common EU citizenship in the years to come. It would open the possibility of clashes with national human rights standards in sensitive areas where Member States differ from one another at present, e.g. trial by jury, the presumption of innocence until proven guilty,/ habeas corpus,/ the legalisation of hard drugs, euthanasia, abortion, labour law, succession law, marriage law, children's rights etc. Ireland's Supreme Court and the Strasbourg Court of Human Rights would no longer have the final say on what our rights are.

  • music.........................­.UGH

  • Ireland voted no and they didn't care they are really showing their true colors and NWO hatred for democracy.

  • We,Filipinos condemn the racial attack to my countrymen in Whiteabbey, Northern Ireland.Give them justice....or else we will hate all of you in a lifetime.

  • hey. kill the music so you can hear people talking.

  • Lol, this video is rather insulting to all those people who fully know about and welcome the idea of an EU federal state. It's not a secret. Our elected leaders recently elected a Council President who is Publically in favour of a Federal EU State. This video is nothing but badly edited scaremongering with terrible music to boot~!

  • Rubbish!

    im a lot more worried about what the Islamists are you to. they've already destroyed lebanon, indonisia and somalia and now they are trying to take over the philipines...

    they are the dangerous ones

  • The thing these conspiracy theorists get wrong is that they thing there are people with an actual intent aiming twards an end goal.

    This is not the case, but rather our system has evolved so that the individuals don't see what they are doing and incrementally steer toward that goal without knowing it.

    The end result and the individual steps look practically identical, but the first way of arguing makes you rightly loose every ounce of credibility.

  • Really? You're never going to vote again? Well done typing your comment though. Excellent work for someone with no hands.

  • This video contains quite a few lies. Contrary to what Nigel Lafarge says here. Three countries did have a vote on the Euro and Two of them voted yes (France and Ireland) Denmark then opted out of the Eurozone. The biggest porkies come at the end. Lisbon does not give EU power to amend Treaties. The Death Penalty cannot be introduced as a result of Lisbon. Lies such as these totally dicredited the no camp and led to a massive yes vote.
