Soviet
Roots of Socialist European Union
Book
Review by Richard Salbato
Back
in 1985 I wrote a book called "The Ark of Apocalypse", and sub-titled
it "A fiction story of the future - I think". I believed that based on true and approved
prophecy and the trends in the world, I could figure out where the world was
headed and how. I saw it heading to
total economic disaster, starting in Europe, which was becoming more and more
socialistic. I envisioned (without
hard evidence) the Communist Politburo in Moscow financing and directing a gradual
infiltration of Western European governments making them more and more
socialistic to the point of no return.
The more a government gives you the more it owns you. This was happening all over Europe and
seemed to have some kind of master plan.
To some
people the USSR was a communist success but I knew better. It seemed to be successful because it kept
expanding. Let me explain it this
way. If you have a business that gets
paid up front 50% before starting work on each contract, you suddenly have
money in your pocket. But if at the end
of that project you loose 20% you will go broke. If, however, half way through that contract you sign another
contract that will bring you the same loss and get another 50% cash up front,
you still seem to be successful because you have 100% less 20% of other
people's money. As long as you keep
expanding you do not see what a failure you are. In the 75 years of Russia's expansion they did not see what a
real failure they were. But in 1985
they began to see that the entire system was going to fail. This was when Gorbachev took office and when I had already
finished my book. Quickly Communism in
Russia seemed to fall apart and I began to think I was wrong about my book and
never published it. I kept trying to
re-write it but things kept changing so fast I just gave up.
I just read a small
booklet by Vladimir Bukovsky called "EUSSR: The Soviet Roots of
European Integration" exposing secret documents of the Politburo in
Moscow and I now know that I was right in the first place. My original book was more exact than the re-written
versions. To explain this we must go
back into history a little bit.
The 1914 Communist Split
In 1914 Socialists split into Bolsheviks
(communists) and Mensheviks (socialists).
The Marxist ideology was the same but they differed on methods of
achieving the goal. The communists took
control by force and the socialists used the democratic systems to gain
power. For 70 years they were
antagonistic toward each other.
It was in the late 1970s and early 1980s that
both sides had to re-consider this hostile attitude towards each other and try
to work together. In 1981 Communist
Mitternad became President and began to introduce socialism in France. In just a few years Mitternad's socialism
almost destroyed the economic system of France and like all socialist
countries, it headed for complete collapse.
Russia was on the brink of economic disaster
because it was no longer expanding, Ronald Reagan was pushing them to more and
more military spending that they could not afford and the entire system was
about to collapse. Now both the
Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks had to re-think their style of communism.
"The soviet
economic model, unproductive and wasteful by definition like all socialist models,
had brought them to the brink of bankruptcy.
On the other, their very ‘success’ in exporting that model to other
countries was becoming an unbearable burden to carry on their shoulders. With their troops bogged down in
Afghanistan, and with the Polish crisis looming large on their doorstep, the
‘cost of Empire’ became virtually unsustainable. Simply put, they had suddenly realized that their economic
base was too small for their global ambitions. Added to that a new round of the arms race forced on them by
Ronald Reagan, falling oil prices and a growing discontent at home, and one
could understand their sudden urge for reforms. A final blow came with Reagan's obsession with the ‘Star Wars’
project. Americans might have been
bluffing, but the Soviets had to follow suit regardless, trying to compete in
the very sphere where they were most behind the West - hi-tech. The only way to
modernize the Soviet economy was to use the ‘class enemy's’ technological
potential." 1
Perestroika
On March 26, 1987 Gorbachev and the Politburo
saw that they had to unite the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks and both sides had
to compromise their methods because both were loosing ground fast. Gorbachev believed that the Mensheviks had
to become more aggressive in government control and less democracy and mapped
out a plan to do just that. On the
other hand the Bolsheviks had to become more like the Bolsheviks and give up
more control to the masses and to the productive businesses. For this objective, Gorbachev started having
secret meetings with the socialists of Western Europe and international
Socialist Organizations like the Trilateral Commission.
In these secret meeting (transcripts of which
are in Vladimir Bukovsky's booklet) Gorbachev and the Politburo came up
with Perestroika for the Soviets to become more like Western Socialists. But the failure of Western Socialists was
their lack of central control and their inability to constantly grow, which is
the failure of all Socialism. To find a
solution to both the Western weakness and the East's weakness the secret
meetings came up with a new policy called the ''Common
European Home''. At that Politburo
meeting ''Common European Home'' was given the highest priority. Having a plan for the Western Socialists and
the Eastern Communists required that both work to help each other. It meant to bring together all the West and
the East in a common EAST WEST GOVERNMENT, but little by little so that the
principle of constant expansion could apply and not let what happened to
Mitterrand's France happen to Europe as a whole.
The plan was to get rid of NATO and push America
out of Europe and unit Europe in the west, expand to the east and eventually to
Russia. To accomplish this they met
with the Trilateral Commission on January 28, 1989. Gorbachev - Rockefeller, Kissinger, Nacasone and Giscard
d'Estaing worked out how the Soviets could integrat into the world's economic
and financial institutions (e.g. GATT, IMF) and how to convert the Ruble into
world markets. Again on April 4, 1990
another secret meeting of the Trilateral Commission took place with the
Politburo. On October 25, 1990,
Gorbachev met with Argentinean Socialist President Carlos Menem to build
further cooperation after the unification of Socialist Europe. And Menem bragged that this new strategy
could take the universe.
You would think that they would be on the run
since the collapse of USSR was already in progress. Czechoslovakia opted out of a socialist future, Poland had
elected its first post-communist government, Baltic states were pushing for
complete independence and in the German elections the social democrats were
utterly defeated. The future was bleak
for Gorbachev and Western partners could offer him little help in practical
terms. But his plans were bigger than
Russia or the USSR.
Yeltsin Destroyed USSR
and not Perestroika
Perestroika was intended to change the political
situation in Western countries rather than in the USSR. It was "to allow socialism to get
involved in shaping the world politics more actively and more widely, to
influence it more effectively and to stimulate positive changes in the
surrounding world."
Part of his plan to appear more western was to
have democratic elections in the different states of the USSR but leaving Gorbachev
as the head of all the states, the President of the USSR. For this reason he had elections and Yeltsin
became to first elected president of Russia on June 12, 1991. The following month July 29, 1991, Gorbachev,
Yeltsin and Nazarbayev agreed to the Union Treaty and to fire the head of the
KGB, the Defense Minister and the Prime Minister who were not in favor of
Gorbachev's compromising with Western Socialists. However, the KGB had secret microphones in the room.
On
August 18, 1991, the KGB tried to overthrow President Gorbachev. Three days later Yeltsin
rallied the people all over Russia and forced the KGB to surrender - two
committed suicide. The main army of
Russia went on the side of Yeltsin.
Without the KGB and with the army on his side, Yeltsin became the power
of Russia and not Gorbachev. On
December 8, 1991 Yeltsin banned the Communist party, formed the Commonwealth of
Independent States. On December 24, 1991
Yeltsin banned the USSR putting USSR President Gorbachev out of a job. Gorbachev was out and Yeltsin was in.
Communism
Moves From Russia to Europe
Gorbachev was out in Russia but he had new Western
friends. They first gave credit to
Gorbachev for the fall of the USSR and I fell for that. He formed his own organization to further
his plans made in 1987 for a Socialist united single government of all Europe
and Russia pushing America back to their own contenent. These plans went on as if nothing happened
to Russia.
Only 46 days after Gorbachev resigned from the now
defunct USSR the Maastricht Treaty was signed. This is the treaty that created the European Union, and led to
the creation of the EU , the Euro, the Common Foreign and Security Policy, EU
justice, EU home affairs, and EU Political Cooperation. Sever years later, on May 1, 1999 (Commuist May Day) the Amsterdam Treaty came into effect, and
expanded EU in Social internal matters.
And just like the Politburo plans of 1987, on February 6, 2001 The
Treaty of Nice was signed to expended the EU to Eastern Europe.
Is The European Union
Communist?
According
to Booker and North's book, "The Great Deception" the EC is
communist. Who wrote the constitution
of EU? No one knows. Members of the EU commission are not elected
by the people but appointed. Even the
good members complain that they get documents they do not have time to read, do
not know who wrote them, and are asked to vote on them. Most of the EC
countries will not vote on ratification but only the governments will ratify
them. Given to the people it would never
pass as shone by France's rejection, the one country no one expected to reject
it.
The object of the EU according to "The Great Deception" is to
get America out of Europe.
"...The consistent ambition of the Soviets,
and the many Communist parties subservient to them, and fellow-traveling
Socialists as well, was to weaken the American presence, and if possible,
remove it altogether from the continent. One way or another, the EU has taken
up where the Soviets left off, and is proving more successful: Look at the
doubtful future of NATO, the growing European army, the relocation of American
troops and bases out of Germany, Franco-German efforts to stymie the United
States over Iraq, the lifting of the arms embargo on China, uncritical
sponsorship of the PLO, and much else besides..."2
And according to Vladimir Bukovsky:
"Indeed, trying to build socialism just in
one, ‘separately taken’, country one would face a very unpleasant choice. If you keep building socialism you lose
competitiveness. If you take care of
competitiveness, you have no socialism.
You cannot combine these two things, even armed cordons along the
borders and other kinds of iron curtains do not help. The only solution is to impose socialism on your competitors as
well.
"The
progressive solutions in the social sphere must fit in the European framework.
In one country, even the most interesting solutions would give only partial
results.
"The new attitude
of the Left to European integration was pre-determined by this very
consideration. This attitude used to be
cold, if not worse, for many decades, but now they realized that integration
was about the only way to salvation.
"Many years of
their struggle for power in independent European countries proved
fruitless. The only thing left to do
was to try to seize control over the whole of Europe at once.
"Certainly,
speaking of democracy, communists always mean ‘social democracy’, while
‘truthful information’ in their parlor had always been an euphemism for
communist propaganda. That is what they
hoped would prevail in an united Europe.
"However, it was
not enough to hope, they had to act. The power over Europe would not come to
the communists by itself, they had to fight for it.
'Therefore, one thing
was clear enough. It was necessary to unite all the left: communists, social
democrats and anyone else who would support the socialist agenda."
Why A Common European Currency - The Euro?
"Compared to
the leaders of the republics, Gorbachev
had one apparent advantage: world's best specialists of forcing such
communities and unions were at his service. From them, he knew all the niceties
of this little-known craft.
For example, he knew
that the most important thing is single currency, and everything else will
imminently follow. Without a separate currency, separate economic policy is
impossible. Therefore the states are not independent, and all their
declarations of sovereignties worth nothing. Whatever is declared, a single
currency will inevitably lead to single constitution and single statehood.
The Common Market of 12 EEC countries exists since 1957, French minister of economy Pierre Beregovoy
enlightened Gorbachev. In the last few years, we are going along the path of
hastened economic integration. We are going to have single currency, or at
least common currency, as early as by the end of this century.
Please note, the idea that people might vote
against this did not even cross Beregovoy's mind. There is not such thing as
people's will in the socialist schemes. What is called by this name is
something completely different.
The West was to help Gorbachev to convert the
ruble. And even if other currencies appear, they will remain unconvertible.
Hence, they will be closely connected to the strong ruble anyway. But, given
the convertible ruble, hardly anyone
would ever want to have a separate unconvertible currency.
As far as
republican currencies are concerned, Gorbachev told
Beregovoy, there are, indeed, some talks about this. But I suppose, there
will be no need for the republics to introduce their own currencies, if we, in
cooperation with the West, solve the problem of ruble's convertibility. Anyway, I suppose that ruble will play a leading
role, given the scale and importance of such a republic as Russia.
In order to
have common approaches to our relations with foreign enterprises and
corporations, we are going to conduct close coordination of foreign policy,
including foreign economic policy, in the framework of the Union. More than
that, we are thinking about creating a Central reserve system on the basis of
central banks [of the republics].
M. S. Gorbachev.
[…] The economic
treaty will contain […] principles of common policy in the areas of
taxation, banking, social problems and others. Our economists believe that
emergence of national currencies will not cause serious problems. All the more
so that the solution of ruble's convertibility problem will lead to decline of
agitation. I'd like to notice that, for example, Estonia shows its interest in
common economic zone. This means that even in the Baltic region they do understand how to live [in
reality]." 1
Will A Common Socialist Europe Succeed
or Fail?
It
will fail. Already France and Holland
have voted against the Constitution, Germany may through out the Socialists in
the next election, Spain will do the same and maybe before an election. Portugal is on the brink of bankruptcy and a
social revolution, and adopting an isolation attitude making it almost
impossible for foreign investment. The
Portuguese are leaving because of a lack of jobs or poor pay. They should have done what Ireland did in the
beginning.
Ireland
came from a very poor nation to a very prosperous nation in a short time by
doing all the right things. They
realized that wealth is created by business, so they made incentives to bring
in large businesses from all over the world - cheap property and rent, no red
tape, low utility bills and cheap, well educated labor. It worked.
This is called "Supply Side Economics". Then Ireland did a stupid thing. They joined the EU and adopted the Euro and
Socialism. Taxes have gone up so fast that the cost of living is one of the
highest in all of Europe making it almost impossible to save money or plan for
a future.
All
the Western European countries are bringing in the cheap labor from Eastern
Europe in spite of high unemployment in Germany, France and Portugal. Not only labor but prostitution by the tens
of thousands. England is ready to pull
out, Poland is always antagonistic to the lack of God mentioned in the
constitution, and Italy is ready to chuck the Euro. Becoming more capitalistic has resurrected China for the short
term but 10% of the people have 45% of the wealth and this is normal for
communism. Unrest with the people will
bring China down also. The west could
help but cave in to the low labor products and greed.
I am
hoping that this exposure of these secret meeting with the Soviets creating the
EU may push the whole thing to an end.
This end may be very painful for Europe as many counties may go down for
the count and economies may completely crash.
Why No God In European Constitution?
In
spite of the majority of Europe wanting a mention of its Christian roots and
pressure from John Paul II and the bishops throughout Europe, the writers of
the Constitution refused to add any mention of Christianity. This did not make any sense until you see
that the very reason for the Constitution is to make Europe into a communist
style of socialism.
Armed
with this new information Pope Benedict and the Catholic Church should go to
war with the European Union in the same way Pope John Paul II went to war
against Communism in the East. All
Catholics should recognize that we are in a war. It may be different in America and different still in China, and
again in Islamic countries but it is war and mostly it is governments fighting
to make God a thing of the past.
Promise and Truth
"They are telling
us now that one of the reasons we need such an European superstate is to avoid
war in Europe. At this particular point
there is no threat of war here, not at least of any serious war, but at the end
of their experiment the countries of Europe will be so much at odds with each
other that they will be on the verge of conflict.
"We are told that
it is necessary for us to suppress our ethnicity, our nationality, our
prejudices, our traditions and then we would be living as multi-national
communities happily ever after. We can
tell you in advance, the opposite is going to happen.
"After seventy
three years of living in the Soviet Union which was supposed to be a happy
family of nations we had so much ethnic conflicts that no other country could
produce.
"Look at former
Yugoslavia which also claimed to be one happy family of nations under
socialism.
"We are told
today that the aim of the EU is to become prosperous. Our economy will be capable of competing with the United States
thus enabling Europe to stand up for its interests. The opposite will happen.
Over-regulated, over-bureaucratised, the over-taxed economy of the
European Union will become very weak, nations of Europe will become more and
more poor and more and more looking up to the United States. But one doubts
that the US will once again be in a
position to save Europe with another Marshall Plan.
"They are telling
us that the peoples of the EU will enjoy unprecedented freedom and human
rights. They are lying for they began by
depriving us of the most basic right - a right to elect by direct ballot those
who govern us.
"We do not elect
those People's Commissars who govern the EU. And this is just a beginning. What about that sinister Europol, or
Eurojust with its ‘European arrest warrant’, its diplomatic immunity and a
power to prosecute the ill-defined crimes of ‘racism’ and ‘xenophobia’?
"One wonders how
many former East German Stasi officers, or their colleagues from other East
European countries will end up working there.
Judging by the example of the latest Commission, which had 7 former
communist apparatchiks out of 25 Commissioners, we might have up to one-third
of them.
"If we learned
anything from the lessons of the last century, it must be a notion that every
utopia ends up in a GULAG of its own.
And it just remains to be seen what kind of a GULAG will the EU
create." 1
WHAT SHOULD WE DO
What can
we do to stop a Communist takeover of Europe and should we? Maybe we should let Europe die and have its
economic crash. Why should we
care? The Problem is that Europe is the
father of the United States, Canada, Mexico and all of South and North America. Europe is the father of many Pacific and
Asian countries and has roots all over the world. Just like America, an economic crash of Europe will effect the
entire world. I actually predicted this
in the book I wrote before 1985 and still believe it could happen. It could be avoided however.
First we should show everyone we can, especially
Western politicians, the Communist roots of the European Union and the
Euro. We should then offer Eastern and
Western European nations an alternate economic union. The ideal way to block the goals of Communists is for America to
make separate economic deals with Eastern European countries, putting a split
between Russia and Western Europe.
Poland would welcome this right now.
Having a Polish nation under a market system while the other nations are
under a socialist system will be like the former East and West Berlin, a beacon
of light in the darkness.
In the West already Italy, Danmark, Ireland, and
Britain would jump at this alternate economic union, thus burying the ambitious
plans of European socialists.
Right now is seems that the USA is blind to the
real threat of this EU. A complete
re-thinking of the European policy is urgently needed. "It requires a
vigorous performance and a clear vision that anything less will doom Europe to
yet another ideological nightmare from which the US might not be able to bail
it out this time around."1
"But this suggestion is not as radical as
it may sound. United States is already reviewing its transatlantic policies by
moving NATO bases further to the East and therefore re-configuring the
alliance. Just make one step further and millions of people here will be
eternally grateful to the United States for saving them from this remnant of
the Cold War called European Union." Or should we say the Union of
Socialist Republics in the West.
Our Lady of Fatima said, "Russia will
spread her errors throughout the world."
Russia is still doing it.
