The suicide of Europe - must New Zealand follow suit?

Sunday October 28th 2007

Remember - the vanity and arrogance of Europe's current leaders is nothing new!

If you have some spare cash then you could follow contemporary financial wisdom - by rushing to see a mortgage broker and further 'leveraging' to the property market. Alternatively, you could use it for the deposit on a new car (generally a reliably depreciating 'asset') or you might just spend it on some overpriced consumer item, that will no doubt lose its appeal in a few months. Of course, at NZ Gold, we are inclined to suggest that any such sum should be used to retire debt or to purchase some 'financial insurance' via the precious metals. (As an aside we find ourselves wondering - is gold set to imminently breach US800 per ounce or will we see one of the many 'pullbacks' ahead of such a seismic event? Of course, you can check up on current prices on our home, about gold, and about silver pages).

There is a splendid alternative! If you have not already had the chance to do so you could blow the money on a visit to Rome. The Eternal City is a wonderful, atmospheric place, and we would imagine a lifetime could be spent there without boredom ever setting in. Yet Rome also offers something more salutary - a powerful and eloquent reminder of Europe's past vanity and arrogance. Thus, in a sense, money spent during the exploration of this admittedly costly city is an investment - an investment in lessons from the past that appear to have increasing relevance for the future. Mark Twain reminded us "that history doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme" and, at NZ Gold, we wonder if the fate of Imperial Rome doesn't offer the new European hegemony - the EU - a poetic portent for the future?

We have emphasised in the past at this website that we are not 'anti-European'. On the contrary, we could happily bide our time exploring the continent, lazing in the café society, and updating NZ Gold at a leisurely pace. No, it is not any 'anti-European' tendency on our part with which we wrestle! Rather it is what we perceive as an emerging hatred of the continent, its established population, its historic religion, its liberties, its unique cultures, and its former sovereign nations by an ever more aloof 'ruling elite'. Increasingly, and predictably, we believe that they display what might be termed 'the despot's psychopathology'. Indeed, at NZ Gold, we plan to explore the psychology of our so-called 'leaders' in a forthcoming update►"the need to fail - understanding the psychopathology of  modern politicians". The phenomenon we perceive disturbs us greatly, and it offers little comfort to be domiciled some 12,000 miles away in New Zealand. After all, didn't we note in our July 8th update► "Why is the New Zealand government trying to deny our Judeo-Christian  heritage?" comment from the Thursday November 16th 2006 edition of the New Zealand Herald (Clark discusses formal links with Europe - "there's an appreciation in Brussels that New Zealand is the most like-minded country on earth to the EU"). As we cautioned our readers in January 2007, we must be mindful of: "the malignant influence that Britain and the European Union exercise over New Zealand".

Certainly, when we look at the 'social engineering' to which New Zealand has been subjected in recent years we discern the destructive hallmarks of the European - or more correctly EU - ideological hegemony. Moreover, when considering these matters it is always worth bearing in mind the remarkably honest comment of United States wartime President Franklin Roosevelt: "in politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way". At NZ Gold we believe one of the cardinal mistakes many people make is to attribute 'madness' or 'folly' to the upper political echelons who legislate our futures. On the contrary, we would suggest that - for the most part - these people know exactly what they are doing and the destination to which they intend to deliver us! As such, we are of the view that New Zealander's should harbour serious concerns about the prospects for their liberties going forward.

Central we would suggest, to achievement of the European Union's dastardly intent, is the permanent destruction of member states national sovereignty. We base this view on our conviction that the EU, as currently constituted, is a political entity living on borrowed time. Therefore, its 'leadership' must deliver 'political blitzkrieg' in order to permanently eliminate the possibility that the people of Europe might eventually come to their senses - and realise that a later day vision of Stalin, Khrushchev and Brezhnev's Soviet Union is not for them. In particular, we believe that the United Kingdom was effectively conned into membership via its original embrace of the European Economic Community. That relatively benign sounding organisation - cynically choreographed as offering the only hope for post imperial Britain - has progressively and predictably undergone a metamorphosis into the 'quasi-socialist' behemoth it is today. Characterised by ever greater vanity, arrogance, greed, hypocrisy, corruption, and imperial delusion the EU is seeking, in our view, to deliver a new 'Pan-European Reich' - the terminal destination along Hayek's sombre Road to Serfdom.

At NZ Gold it seems to us that no European Union member has been more damaged than England - in not the insane dash - but the calculated advance - that is designed to render the business of sovereign nation historical bunk. Critical to the assault on England has been the utterly ruthless use of 'tactical immigration'. We are persuaded that this cynical process - now so overwhelming that it can only be described as 'population replacement' - is designed to irrevocably change the nation's (sorry the EU region's) demographics. Put simply the European Union needs to overwhelm the Eurosceptic English with a new form of 'Europhile Diaspora' before - as occurred in the distant days of Boudicca - the natives start rebelling and demanding that their new European masters 'naff-off'. Of course, one of the critical factors that has allowed the EU, and their lackeys in the Westminster Parliament, to get away with a defacto invasion of England has been the condition of national crapulence delivered by easy money. The dramatic fall in the value of the pound sterling against real money - gold and silver - in recent years provides powerful evidence of the way in which the English people have been stupefied by a credit induced illusion of prosperity. King Alfred the Great put it perfectly: "In the midst of prosperity the mind is elated, and in prosperity a man forgets himself". Well said! After all, what is the loss of a historic nation - your children's birthright - in comparison to the transient euphoria of double digit compound growth in your house price?

The neutralizing of England as a functional and identifiable nation is, in our view, essential to the EU because historically Britain has acted as a bulwark against the emergence of a single European hegemony. With Scotland 'firmly in the bag' and the Republic of Ireland the European Union's 'corporate welfare showcase' England cannot be allowed to act as a lone 'party pooper' (and defender of democracy and genuine free-market principles) at the new Empire's periphery. Where the historically courageous Welsh will ultimately position themselves is anybodies guess.

Yet as Poms we mustn't become selfish! The EU may pay especially destructive attention to England - variously aided and abetted domestically by a gullible liberal elite and a highly astute corporate cabal - but that does not mean that continental Europe is missing out. One of the key characteristics of the EU in recent years has been its growing acquiescence in what, is increasingly termed, the 'Islamisation of Europe'. In many respects this seems bizarre because Islam is a religion reposed on many sound family and moral values that are anathema to Europe's ruling elite. Yet, in this we perceive lessons from the past. Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin represented two ostensibly opposed ideologies, yet that did not stop them concluding a 'non-aggression pact' in 1939. Put simply they might have loathed each other but the principle that 'my enemies enemy is my friend' drew them together in a brief commonality of interest. At NZ Gold we believe a similar phenomenon is happening today with the principle target for the 'EU/Islamic Axis' being the continent's Judeo-Christian tradition.

The move to progressively expunge the Christian lexicon from Europe is understandable for the largely parallel reasons that we discussed in our July 8th 2007 update: "Why is the New Zealand government trying to deny our Judeo-Christian heritage?". Indeed, in ideological terms, New Zealand appears to be becoming an unstinting advocate of contemporary European Union political and economic doctrine. At NZ Gold this causes us huge concern. In our conversations with many Kiwis there seems to be scant understanding of just what is happening in Europe - particularly in the urban centres. It is why we urge you to visit such resources as the conservative and incisive Brussels Journal www.brusselsjournal.com for alternatives to the carefully choreographed claims that the EU is some sort of Shangri-La to which New Zealand should aspire. Indeed, we attach below hyperlinks to various of the Brussels journal archives so you can consider the appalling events that took place in Brussels on September 11th of this year. We also provide a link to the Scandinavian writer Fjordman who offers real insights into the emerging crisis in Sweden - a country whose ideologies are almost worshipped by New Zealand's liberal elite. Reflect on the fact that Europeans various sought to do no more than gather peacefully in Brussels to remember those who perished in New York's twin towers and to call for an end to the deliberate Islamisation of their continent. Then, next time you hear the European Union piously boasting about democracy and human rights, you will be able to offer the observation of William Shakespeare: "I do smell all horse piss at which my nose is in great indignation".

As we draw to the conclusion of this article, we find ourselves taking issue with our own choice of title. For in reality Europe is not committing suicide - it is being murdered! The combination of a collapsing indigenous birthrate, simply unimaginable levels of immigration (with plans for a further twenty millions from Africa & Asia), the relentless advance of urban Islam, the parallel expunging of Judeo-Christian tradition, the extinguishing of representative democracy and the entrenched belief that it is permanently possible to spend more than has been earned, are all factors that point to a coming European crisis of Byzantine proportions. For our European readers we would suggest that these are factors that demand the 'holding of gold' irrespective of the wider issues of systemic monetary debasement that we regularly address. Remember, most people during the later days of Imperial Rome would not have been able to comprehend that the halcyon days were over. Our readers must make up their own minds, whether they feel NZ Gold to be excessively pessimistic about Europe's future prospects. Yet one thing can be said with absolute certainty! Nothing obliges New Zealand to travel the path of supremely high risk along which our European 'kith & kin' are being so rapidly taken.
