EU to get a personality

Posted on October 7, 2009 by stacyherbert| 33 Comments

Stacy Summary: . . . and that personality will be headed by Tony Blair . . . ?

EU draws up plans to establish itself as ‘world power’

A letter conferring a full “legal personality” for the Union has been drafted in order for a new European diplomatic service to be recognised as fully fledged negotiators by international bodies and all non-EU countries.

According to one confidential paper, the first pilot “embassies” are planned in New York, Kabul and Addis Ababa.

I wonder how things will look if/when the markets turn. Consider “European-Union waxes and wanes with stock prices”: http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~cology/economics/european_union_vs_stock_market.jpeg

Mep | October 7, 2009 at 1:42 am |

I apologize for my ignorance, but did the people of the EU have any idea that anything like this was being considered?
Phil | October 7, 2009 at 1:43 am |

@Mep … 98% No !

What a sweet man Ron Paul is … somebody tell him he’s wearing his glasses up-side-down !
Mep | October 7, 2009 at 1:54 am |

:-\ So is it safe to assume that nobody really knows how much say over domestic and foreign policies each country will lose?

Nice.

EU…to get a personality disorder if Blair is appointed president.

i think we hit peak wingnut with this piece of art, has to be seen to be believed.

It’s still hasn’t been ratified by the Czechs and Poles but I’m guessing that it’s just a formality. This should be a fun day at the Tory conference!!

People are bitching about a loss of sovereignty to the EU but rare is the concern over the loss to corporations on our Tax, Regulations or any other Policy.
Richard@lattitude30N | October 7, 2009 at 2:16 am |

@Phil” easy ol’ chap….mike/liverpool is first in line to experience the “TOB” as he calls it…remember a year after the “recession” began the PTB then backdated the beginning to the year before, as they periodically waited for the stats to convey what everyone on the ground already knew…they either can’t admit failure or just want us to believe they have the sole and innate ability to repair the damage..how did it go: “humpty dumpty sat on a wall, humpty dumpty had a great fall and all the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put humpty together again”….gold is skyrocketing…along with silver…Bloomberg TV just reported that the gold reserves are at an all time LOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!….Now doesn’t that kind of remark lead to an incendiary run on gold????????????One forecast was for $1500.00…..We all know Gs calls for $1200 and CITI for $2000…………who holds the longs and who holds the shorts????
@Max: AJ and Max….a great combo….so will be JW…I hear a great sucking sound…all theat glitters is not gold…the pension are next..the commercial RE paper and the rest of the Alt-A Option residential foreclosures too….then the student loans and the auto loans and finally the credit card defaults….all replaced by that basket of currencies….and a revaluation…as you so aptly pointed out with the $$$ devaluing by as much if not more than another 50%…that means in real dollar value=$0.02…..per dollar…WOW!!!!
Mep | October 7, 2009 at 2:19 am |

Are they really planning a single EU market?

This article from 2005 hints at it:

Phil | October 7, 2009 at 2:31 am |

@Richard@lattitude30N … “Bloomberg TV just reported that the gold reserves are at an all time LOW”

Well, reserves are one thing, but supposedly Gold production has also been declining YoY since about 8 years.

We have a president and he’s only a laughing stock, i really don’t think he has other authorities than to be official representative. Still he could produce some damage if he goes working for Amero-British interests. My worse fear is the technocratic EU bureaucracy than the Blair (mis)figure.
Phil | October 7, 2009 at 5:14 am |

@gb …”Klaus Won’t Sign the Lisbon Treaty”

gb,
I rate the Czechs as very clever people.
But as Stalin said : It’s not “who” votes – but “who counts” the votes !
…as has already happened with Ireland IMO !
Dedo | October 7, 2009 at 5:34 am |

@Phil,…….As you’re aware “Democracy” is just a word to placate the populace, nothing more nothing less.
There has never been a system where the plebes have made any choices to direct their future outside “the” system.
As Aldous Huxley once said,..the people will come to love their servitude,..

Here’s another attack on sovereignty:

rohrshach | October 7, 2009 at 4:16 pm |

“the first pilot “embassies” are planned in New York, Kabul and Addis Ababa.”
NY makes sense (largest population) tho you’d figure DC would be the choice given that it’s the capital. However, freakin’ Afghanistan and Ethiopia for embassies?!?! Just what do they hope to be doing there, besides trading heroin for weapons, or maybe natural gas contracts.

Are the EU bureaucrats hoping EU member populations won’t do anything, based on the virtue that many of them have gun control laws and hope to not be shot by the proles?
Clyde | October 7, 2009 at 5:09 pm |

Hold on! if the dollar goes down something else goes up… This (article contents ) is perhaps one of the agendas to be considered and what ever follows it. BUT, if the US dollar goes BACK UP this means that it could slow down the answer of whats to come if it is from across the pond.
Just a thought!
Clyde | October 7, 2009 at 5:10 pm |

So our best bet is to keep the dollar and as Max has been saying just place it back on Gold or something.
