[ eu-propaganda/euro-identitet ] :: The ‘Europe for Citizens’ programme is designed to rewrite Europe’s history to counter the rising scepticism across Europe which saw last year’s May elections return scores of MEPs who want full withdrawal or a big return of powers to their own national governments. Top of the agenda is a ‘peace project’ called ‘European Remembrance’ which is designed to ‘contribute to citizens’ understanding of the EU, its history and diversity as well as ‘raise awareness of remembrance, the common history and values of the EU and the EU’s aim.’ The EU has often tried to claim that it is the reason for peace in Europe is because of the political bloc which has continued to spread Eastwards after initially drawing France and Germany into a coal and steel union to unite key resources needed for warfare. At times it has even had the audacity to say that the First and Second World Wars were ‘European Civil Wars’. The project also aims to increase civil participation by voters at EU level, although they are only allowed to vote for MEPs who make up a tiny part of the law making process in Brussels, effectively just rubber stamping diktats from the unelected European Commission. The majority of meetings are made behind closed doors or amongst bureaucrats huddled in corridors and minutes of what was discussed and agreed on is rarely available for people to see how their money is being spent and who signed them up to it. The only real chance aside from European Elections that the people get to have a say is occasionally in a referendum, which have become a joke since any population not answering ‘correctly’ for the further transfer of powers to Brussels via a new Treaty is always made to answer the question again. Unsurprisingly, countries who agree to these new laws first time are never asked if they are sure of their answer. (breitbart)
