Music to read by:
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
Ten thousand people maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools," said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
To the neon god they made

The European Union is like a
hospital where all the doctors are mad. It doesn’t matter what is wrong,
the treatment is always the same – more integration – and it is always
wrong. The best thing to do is never to enter it.
Once you are in, the best thing to do is to leave. If you can’t get out, you will probably die.
Those of us who pay attention to history, politics and truth have known this for many years.
The EU, far from being a bright future, offers nothing but bankruptcy and decline
But
as the EU’s ‘experts’ and ‘technocrats’ insanely destroy the economies
of Greece, Spain and Italy, it must now surely be obvious to everyone.
The EU, far from being a bright future, offers nothing but bankruptcy and decline.
If the old USSR was an Evil
Empire – and it was – the EU is the Stupid Empire. Obsessed with the
idea that the nation state is obsolete, the EU has sought to bind its
colonies tightly, while pretending they are still independent.
This
is why what is essentially a modern German empire is not held together
by armies, but by a sticky web of regulations and a currency that
destroys prosperity wherever it is introduced (with one important
exception, Germany itself, for whom the euro means cheap exports to
Asia).
It is also why it
has been built backwards, starting with the roof and ending with the
foundations. Old-fashioned empires were at least honest.
They marched in, plundered
everything they could cart away, killed or imprisoned resisters,
suborned collaborators, and imposed their language on the conquered.
Other
humiliating measures followed – forcing the newly-subject people to
live according to the invader’s time, to pay special taxes to their new
masters, to surrender control of their borders, to use the invader’s
weights and measures, salute the invader’s flag and obey the invader’s
laws.
Eventually, after a
few years of imposed occupation money, set at a viciously rigged
exchange rate, the subjugated nation’s economy would have been reduced
to such a devastated and dependent state that it could be forced to
accept the imperial currency.
The
EU, which cannot admit to being what it really is, has to achieve the
same means sideways or backwards. The colonial laws are disguised as
local Acts of Parliament. The flag is slowly introduced, the borders
stealthily erased, the weights and measures and the clocks gradually
brought into conformity.
Resources
(such as Britain’s fisheries) are bureaucratically plundered, giant
taxes are quietly levied, but collected by our own Revenue &
Customs as our ‘contribution’, our banking industry is menaced.
Opponents
are politically marginalised, collaborators discreetly rewarded, armed
forces quietly dismantled or placed under supranational command. It is
happening before our eyes and yet, while the exit is still just open, we
make no move to depart.
Our grandchildren will wonder, bitterly, why we were so feeble.
