EU Worship has Echoes of Fascism

Can you hear me now?
We can.
That's okay.
Okay.
I've got a question for you, but before I go into that, I'd just like to comment that, or rather ask, if you see the EU as essentially a fascistic organisation.
I say this because if you look at a document that you can get off the internet, which is Mussolini's Doctrine of Fascism, you get the actual definition of what fascism is.
And my belief is that very few people actually know what fascism is.
Agreed.
And so from the point of view of you describing...
Well, no, I think I can take you from there because I agree.
I think the European Union does exhibit some facets and some manifestations of fascism.
I mean, when I went to the European Union to contest Article 13, I found out what they were legislating for on that day.
They were legislating for the length of a candlewick.
And to me, that seems remarkably totalitarian.
What possible business could they have?
One second.
Before I got ill, I was a local solicitor.
I've got a law degree.
I've done my postgraduate diploma in legal practice.
And as a solicitor, I was obliged to do professional exams and also continue in professional development, which included continued studies in EU law.
The first paper I did on my law degree, my first degree, was regarding judicial review and the EU.
And I went through hundreds of cases.
Not one was ever successful where the complainant was an individual member citizen, a member state or a corporation.
There were four, and this is in the late 90s.
Four.
All of them were between other EU institutions.
And it pointed out to me very quickly that the European Court of Justice is a political organisation.
It is not a court, as we understand a court in the sense of being impartial.
They're very much geared to further pushing the barriers of the boundaries of the state further and further in the interest of the European Union.
And that became very clear when you look at things like judicial review, where things that in a member state would have been quite reasonable to go after with the government, it's rejected and held back by the European Court of Justice.
So we do have a major problem with the institutions there.
Well, let me talk about that for a second, because I think that's very important.
I'm glad you brought up actually reading the fascist text, because if you read the doctrine of fascism, you'll realize that they're trying to create what they called an ethical state.
Everything of the state, everything to the state, and everything from the state.
Nothing against the state, yes.
Exactly.
And the individual.
Everything about the individual and individualism is subservient so long as it is acceptable so long as it's subservient to the purposes of the state.
Absolutely.
But the key here is the part about it being an ethical state, because the fascist objection to the liberal state in which we live is that the state was the night watchman.
It was an impartial mediator between individuals.
Because in this country, we think of the person as being the sovereign.
You're the king of your castle in your home.
That's not what the fascists had in mind.
They had a particular agenda to modify the nation and make it a living organism of itself.
And that's very much the attitude that the European Union has.
They seek to modify Europe and to turn it into something that it previously wasn't.
That, in my opinion, is genuinely a fascistic method of government.
And when I say the reason I bring up the fact that they were legislating for candle wick lengths is to display that there is simply nothing outside of their view.
There's nothing that they won't bother touching.
There are just things that they haven't got around to yet.
You know, I mean, if last year they were legislating candle wick lengths, where does that stop?
At what point of your life does the European Union say, you know what, we won't touch that?
I think that they wish to bureaucratize the entire continent to make it convenient for the people in Brussels.
Well, this segues into the video in 2012 by Vladimir Bukovsky, who was a Soviet dissident in the 1960s.
He was imprisoned by the Soviet state, and he's done a video on YouTube drawing the parallels between the Soviet state and the actually the institutions of the Soviet state and the institutions of the EU.
And they're scarily similar.
I don't know if you've seen that.
I haven't seen that one, but I do agree.
And again...
For example, the Politburo, he draws a parallel about the appointment of bureaucrats to power from amongst themselves and draws a parallel with the EU Commission.
Similarly, he says, well, in the Soviet Union, they did have a democracy, and they had a parliament.
It was called the Supreme Soviet.
And that's what you're going to be joining if hopefully you succeed in your candidacy.
That's correct, yeah.
But that's the point, isn't it?
It was all done through bureaucracy.
I mean, Stalin didn't come to power.
He came to power by using bureaucratic methods.
And it's very much the same way that the European Union is being run.
It's all done by a vast bureaucracy behind the scenes that is not accountable.
Well, this comes back to the doctrine of fascism by Mussolini and co-authored by Giovanni Gentila.
That he argues against democracy on the basis that fascism is an organized authoritarian democracy, as he puts it, which is what we have in the EU.
I agree.
And one last thing as well.
It's not just the methods, I think, in which the European Union represents fascism as well.
It's also the ideals.
Because one of the things that I found very interesting when I was on the floor of the EU, when I was watching from above and I could see the floor, is that they would go through the surface-level arguments of, oh, well, this is a policy that we like because of X and we don't like this one because of Y.
But it would always, they would go through a series of argumentation, and then it would essentially boil down to Europe above all, the European Union above every other concern.
Fascism.
And that's fascism.
As exactly saying, you know, everything within the state, nothing against the state, nothing outside the state.
And that was honestly the impression I was getting with the way they were talking about the European Union.
And I was quite disconcerted being there.
It was quite a scary experience.
Actually watching these people who held this higher ideal higher than your rights, higher than your freedom of speech, higher than your ability to be away from the state.
They think that was more important than everything.
Segues on to my actual question that I originally had for you, which involves the European Arrest Warrant.
That's a very terrifying thing.
Well, I came across a website, Ian Crane, and he was talking about the persecution of David Noakes and Lynn Thayer.
I don't know if you've heard of these people.
I haven't heard of those particular ones, no.
Right.
Well, they're responsible for developing in the UK a product, a natural product called GC Math.
GC Math is glycomacrophage activating factor.
Now, I know that you've had a good friend who died of cancer.
The evidence that they have, and they've had research from 200 scientists and 120 research papers in favor of this, that the evidence is that of terminal cancer patients, they had managed using this natural vitamin D transport protein to save 9,000 out of 11,500 people in terminal cancer.
Right.
Given that chemotherapy and radiotherapy will, on average, save about 2%.
Yeah, the very, very, very unreliable.
It raises a big issue.
David Noakes has been imprisoned for breach of the 1939 Cancer Act, which prevents doctors even discussing alternatives to chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
For example, they're not allowed to discuss issues like diet and so forth.
Right.
Or non-patented drugs.
It's very much in favour of big pharma.
Right.
Which leads me on to another European and also UK thing.
The MHRA, the Medicine Healthcare Regulating Authority, has a massive conflict of interest because several of its directors are very closely associated with big pharma.
For example, the CEO, Ian Hudson, was a former VP of SmithKline Beacham.
Board member Stephen Lightfoot was a former general manager of GE Healthcare, MD of Daiichi Sanky of C. Is there any chance we could just go straight to the point if that's a question?
The point being is that a drug that would cost the National Health Service £400 a calendar month is being prevented from being used because of the very old act and the big pharma interests.
In contrast, chemotherapy costs the NHS about £40,000 a month.
So if you can save that level of money and have a drug that has no known side effects and that has had 80% success rate in clinical trials, why are we stopping it?
Why are we also imprisoning people like David Noakes?
He's now out on tag.
In France, under the European Arrest Warrant, they wish to take him and his biochemist partner to prison.
If France gets their extradition rights, it's likely that he'll spend two years in prison before he even comes to trial.
Right.
Well, I'm not familiar with this case, so I can't check it out.
I will, I will.
I can't comment on it directly.
Thank you.
But I can't comment directly.
But I do find the European Arrest Warrant quite terrifying.
The fact that in Europe, you could be accused of a crime in, say, Austria, and if you're in Spain, then the police in Spain will come and collect you, deport you to Austria, where you will be held for your trial.
I'd add that you don't actually have to commit a crime in the member state.
You could be committing a crime in Germany.
If you're wearing a swastika, for example, not suggesting you would.
No, no, no.
But were you doing that?
That is technically a hate crime in Germany.
Yes.
And you could be arrested for that.
And Germany could ask for your extradition.
Yes.
So the European Rest Warrant is a massive overreach of power, in my opinion.
Exactly.
Again, just another reason for us to get out of the European Union as quickly as possible.
Yeah, essentially a fascistic state.
But thank you very much.
My pleasure.
Thank you.
And good luck.
Thank you.
Thanks very much.
Don't worry about it.
