Kroes: Intel Now "Sponsor of the European Taxpayer"

Refering to chip maker Intel Inc's "sponsor of the future" advertising campaign, EU Antitrust Commissioner Neelie Kroes says the company now is the sponsor of the European taxpayer. This after she slapped a $1.45 bln (1.06 bln euro) fine on Intel for illegal acts and the abuse of its dominant market position.

@#2:

Thats even more ridiculous as #1. The European Charter allows the member states to make exemptions in these cases, it does not reintroduce capital punishment anywhere it just allows member states to reintroduce it at these exemptions. The have this right already without the Lisbon treaty and if not, the European Charta clearly marks that it must not be used in order to undermine other stricter human rights regulations that may already be in power.

To coin this completely unsurprising court rule (which would have been hardly different when happening on national level) into an outlawing of criticism against the EU is one of the more ridiculous EU myths.

This case "C 274/99 P" was about a mister Connolly. He was an official of working in the EU and as it is common for officials as it is for many employs anywhere he was not allowed to publish all the confidential information he got to know in his job on his own behalf. Its not different in the member states either.

He then thought he could fool his employee by taking off for a short time under false pretenses to publish a book with his insider knowledge. He got sued and convicted for it.

o Israel has killed Americans (eg. Sailors on USS Liberty, Rachel Corrie, etc...)

o Israel spies on this country (eg. Pollard, Kadish, AIPAC, etc...)

o Israel bought our politicians with our taxes.

o Israel steals our taxes, hence their higher income.

o Israel uses our country as their toilet.

Please share this post with others, and demand that your Senator and/or Representative uphold the laws when it comes to Israel's heinous crimes. Peace!

Abiding by EU law ALSO means

1.NOT criticising the EU or it's institutions (European Court of Justice ruling,case 274/99).

2.Rioting and civil ' upheaval ´ during time of war is punishable by death (amendment to the European Charter,article2,passage2c : google Prof.Schachtschneider).

3.Under the Lisbon Treaty/constitution any state not willing to `continually upgrade it's military´will also face punishment.

Just say no (like the French,Dutch & Irish).

Don't VOTE in June's EU elections.

You need to get one if you don't have one, its creepy out there..Seriously, if you think Kroes is wrong that may be because your mind has been screwed so many times by the corporate media you are to tired to take in the facts about kartels and price fixing..it is rife in the US, which is the reason why it is going down.

Attracted a bunch of folks with some fairly out there claims, that's for sure. Would seem to have attracted a mutual masturbation society of some sort.
