I'm sure there are a substantial number of MEPs who are in agreement about false-flag operations. I don't have the close contacts I had a decade ago with MEPs so I don't know who these might be. But knowing the Greens' suspicion of the State, in principle, it wouldn't surprise me if some were in agreement that 911 was a false flag.
What all these anti-EU people seem to have in common is that they don't have any coherent alternative. We live in a world ruled by ruthless capitalists hiding behind the tag of liberalism or neo-liberalism. Their idea of economics is to privatise everything and the devil take the hindmost.
What we see in this capitalist world are the developments of huge economic blocs. In North America we have NAFTA (USA, Canada and Mexico), in Europe we have the European Union, farther east we have the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization) embracing Russia, China, Iran and I believe India (though the US is trying hard to decouple India from the SCO).
SCO
By the way, I would suggest it's very likely that the current USUK/Sarkozy stance against Iran is motivated by (1) trying to stop and reverse its growth as a Middle Eastern and Asian power, and (2) to dislocate the SCO by so doing.
In Africa we have the African Union (which the US is trying to destroy through its NATO-for-Africa, AFRICOM, a dangerous move) and in South America we have the only thing that approaches a socialist economy, the Venezuelan-led MERCOSUR.
Australia is making deals with Japan and China with the latter playing an increasingly big role in the Australian economy.
That is, admittedly, a rule of thumb description but which indicates just how geopolitics is playing out across our Planet right now.
So, I return to the question: leaving aside the incredible economic dislocation that Britain's leaving the EU would entail, leaving aside the question of a rising call for Scottish independence and the SNP's commitment to a Scotland within the EU, just what kind of future do these Eurosceptics and Europhobes propose?
No good looking to the Commonwealth. We deserted that a long time ago. And anyone who looks at the economics of the old Empire out of which the Commonwealth arose in the 1950's will see that it was basically built in favour of Britain and the white Commonwealth obtaining cheap materials at cheap labour costs from the Black Commonwealth. So any hope that Britain would be welcomed with open arms by the countries they screwed so harshly in imperialist times is guaranteed to be dashed.
A Free Trade Zone with Northern Europe? Maybe with Norway, the Faroes and Iceland but no one else.
So where else? We would be far too weak to carry on alone against all these protection zones. Oh, well there's NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Association. Fascists like the now discredited Conrad Black and the yet-to-be-jailed Murdoch brothers would have liked us tied yet tighter in a Goetterdaemmerung Anglo-Saxon Alliance death-pact with Washington.
The way things are going with that death-pact, by the way, what we see are the English-speaking world, USA (English?) and Canada already in NAFTA (which is already not very popular with a lot of Canadians).
Is the long-term intention of the US (and their complicit Murdoch Press) to decouple Britain from the EU in order that it should fall neatly into the hands of NAFTA?
With the $US collapsing they might have big problems there anyway.
That would only leave Australia so clearly the acronym would have to be changed to include a North Atlantic and Pacific military/economic bloc based on the continued imperialist rape of Planet Earth.
So, given the outside possibility of allying ourselves with a race of benevolent extra-terrestrials from, say, the Pleiades (wouldn't that be nice?) what options are left? Can we discuss this?
