There will always be an England--apparently not


From our friends at the Libertarian Alliance I discovered that the EU has begun drafting plans to essentially eliminate national boundaries in Europe in favor of transnational regions.

England would be split between the Transmanche, North Sea, and Atlantic regions (see map from The Sun).

At first I thought maybe this was a typical internet scam, but the Telegraph actually managed to get an acknowledging quote out of some EU officials:

German ministers claimed that the plan was about "underlying the goal of a united Europe" to "permanently overcome old borders" at a time when the "Constitution for Europe needs to regain momentum".


I've never been a big black helicopter-Council on Foreign Relations-MexAmeriCanada conspiracy theorist.

Among other things, my John Birch Society membership expired some while back, and I haven't gotten around to renewing it.

One of these days.

Yet I have to admit that this prospect of deconstructing Europe is . . . disquieting.

It is especially so when one figures in some of the demographic consequences. For example, the people behind the Transmarche Region already have a web page up and running that declares:

The Channel simultaneously divides and joins two parts of Western Europe, which for centuries have shared common events to create a joint History. A thousand year period, beginning with the Norman invasion of England, now nears its end as that same island becomes physically linked to the continent of Europe.


Two thoughts come to mind here: (1) This is similar to the press release you'll read the day after China finishes invading Taiwan, and (2) this will also be welcome news to the various reconquista movements in Mexico and the American southwest.

Then I thought about the areas of France included in the Transmarche, which led me to think about the areas not included. Why would that be significant?

Because the 10% of France's current population that is Muslim is mostly concentrated outside this new Transmarche Region, which means that in whatever other regions France is carved up into, the Muslim population will be a much larger percentage.

What this really amounts to is an attempt to re-organize Europe along ethnic lines and deconstruct the local and regional political structures that allow people of different backgrounds and faiths to learn to live and work together.

And that's downright scary.

What's the problem? I mean, it's not like organizing along ethnic lines has ever been a problem before.

Dear Steve

Thank you for linking to us on this one, it's very important - we here have actually known about it for some years, but nobody in the Main-stream-Media actually believed it at first, and we were thought to be paranoid extermist Xenophobe right wing nutters.

The Nazi apparatchiks in the EU bureaucracy have also been quite disarmingly frank and open about what this intends. However, you won't get the BBC reporting that, or even many of the "Dead Tree Press" either. this info had to be got at first by samizdat means.

At least it's now out in the open, and (some) people will have an opportunity to complain.

I'm sometimes afraid we're on our own now. There is no earthly reason why you good people in the USA, Canada and the rest of the Anglosphere should need or want to help us. We allowed this to happen to ourselves - we just were asleep since, er, about 1945.

Comment Rescue (?) and child-related gun violence in Delaware

In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

With apologies to Hube: dopey WNJ comments of the week

(Well, Hube, at least I'm pulling out Facebook comments and not poaching on your preserve in the Letters.) You will all remember the case this week of the photo of the young man posing with the .22LR squirrel rifle that his Dad got him for his birthday with resulted in Family Services and the local police attempting to search his house.  The story itself is a travesty since neither the father nor the boy had done anything remotely illegal (and check out the picture for how careful the son is being not to have his finger inside the trigger guard when the photo was taken). But the incident is chiefly important for revealing in the Comments Section--within Delaware--the fact that many backers of "common sense gun laws" really do have the elimination of 2nd Amendment rights and eventual outright confiscation of all privately held firearms as their objective: Let's run that by again: Elliot Jacobson says, This instance is not a case of a father bonding with h

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?
