Why Britain Is The New European Gulag

Why Britain is the emerging European gulag ►

Sunday January 28th 2007

One of the difficulties - when lamenting the belief that Britain is the 'emerging European gulag' - is where do you begin? For our U.K. readers, unless they happen to be part of the 'sneering liberal elite' or the new 'corporate-state cabal', we suspect our observations will find sympathy. Conversely, for those Kiwis who like to visit NZ Gold, but who are unfamiliar with the outrageous 'goings on' in Britain, we suspect it may be difficult to immediately comprehend the evaporation of freedom that is occurring. Kiwi beware, expatriate Pom beware, intending escapee/migrant from Britain beware!! New Zealanders might be excused for inquiring as to why they should care about what happens in Britain. Long-term expatriates like ourselves might be forgiven for similar thinking, although we still have close relatives and friends in the U.K. The imminently migrating, intoxicate on the liquor of anticipated freedom, might think "so what' I'm getting out"!

All of the above reactions are understandable, but dangerously complacent in our view because they fail to comprehend the malignant influence that Britain and the European Union exercise over New Zealand. Moreover, they demonstrate an assumption that once migration from the U.K. has occurred, escape from the 'money grabbing, property confiscating, free speech denying, war-mongering, Christianity hating, British nation destroying' folie `a deux (a madness shared by two) of 'liberal elite' and 'corporate cabal' has been permanently secured. At NZ Gold we would beg to differ. We predict GB (it used to stand for Great Britain - but as British Prime Minister Tony Blair has told us 'we must modernise' we feel justified, if outraged, in using the abbreviation for 'Gulag Britain') will continue to have a hold over New Zealand. After all, didn't our current Prime Minister, Helen Clarke, reportedly describe the place as "a model multicultural western democracy"? (Christchurch Press, Monday August 12th 2002) We of course apologise to any of our British readers - who may be rolling round the floor and clutching their sides in hysterical laughter at this stage. Moreover, we were appalled to read the Prime Minister's reported comment (Clark discusses formal links with Europe - The New Zealand Herald, Thursday November 16th 2006) that "there's an appreciation in Brussels that New Zealand is the most like-minded country on earth to the EU". Our research also noted an address by the Prime Minister given at a European Policy Centre breakfast on 29th November 2005, at which she apparently declared "New Zealand and the EU are part of a common community of values. We are democratic, and we promote human rights". Quiet please in the cheap seats, we know suggestions that the EU is democratic would be considered by many to be laughable - but please try to maintain some decorum!

So at NZ Gold are we anti-European? Certainly not! We love the place and visit whenever the chance arises. Our problem lies in seeing the EU progressively delivering - for the great bulk of Europeans - not the chic 'Shangri-la' of Helen Clarke's fantasies but an emerging 'Islamo-facist/corporate hegemony'. In consequence we sense a crisis point will be reached - when the choice for those Europeans who have not emigrated - will be between accepting subjugation as 'dhimmi' (non-muslim 'infidels' allowed to live under conditions of sufferance and humiliation in the new European Islamic state) or risking a major conflict by saying no! Looking at the demographics, a subject recently discussed by Michael Freund at the Jerusalem Post (Say Goodbye to Europe - Tuesday 9th January 2007) and the sheer magnitude of immigration into Europe we find ourselves repeating Julius Caesar's words from January 10th 49BC - "alea iacta est" - "the die is cast". Caesar knew what crossing the Rubicon would mean - the end of the Roman Republic - there could be no going back. He was a man who understood the implications of his actions and who had astutely calculated the odds. At NZ Gold we suspect that mainstream politicians in both Britain and Europe are either similarly cynical - using events emerging from rapidly changing demographics to expunge historic freedoms and create a pure corporate state - or just good old-fashioned naive liberals who haven't quite 'got it'.

At NZ Gold we perceive the subject of Gulag Britain as something akin to a publicly listed junior gold or silver miner - with a high potential tenement! Growing evidence suggests that worthwhile seams, perhaps with major mineralisation, lay hidden beneath the surface. The exploration proceeds and the geologists find, not a modest vein, not 'bonanza' grades, but gold and silver in such abundance that they cannot imagine how they are going to disclose the information to their shareholders and the relevant stock exchange. People will either think they are suffering from hallucinations, or are con-artists trying to explode the share price upwards. In reflecting on Gulag Britain we discern circumstances that are, metaphorically, rather similar - although their is nothing 'precious' involved in what lies beneath the surface (except perhaps the egos of the liberal elite and corporate cabal). So abundant do we consider the evidence of Britain's repudiation of her status as 'mother of the free' that, at NZ Gold, we believe a methodical dissection is needed. There are things about which those readers - who agree with us - can probably do little. Yet there are also other areas in which action can be taken - such as 'holding gold' - if they are persuaded that Britain's Weimar German style embrace of debt will ultimately end in hyper-inflation or deflationary collapse.

At NZ Gold we became increasingly concerned about trends that were already emerging in Britain during the late nineteen eighties - and that is why we left in 1990. Our impression, that the British government was unwilling to uphold the rule of domestic law during the Salman Rushdie affair in 1989 - in stark contrast to the readiness to accept major losses of life and huge losses of equipment during the Falklands war in 1982 - offered us a dark portent for the future. Our view was, that whatever her failings, Margaret Thatcher was the most courageous British Prime Minister since Winston Churchill. If, under her auspices, we perceived the Islamic community effectively free to incite murder with impunity then what hope was there for the future? The clarion call of 'abandon ship' rang loud in our ears. Dare we suggest that subsequent events have vindicated our stance?

Yet our connections to the 'old country' have remained close. During the last sixteen years we have visited Britain on numerous occasions and researched the nation's unfolding history closely. Indeed, we have concluded that there is a certain advantage to be gained from the objectivity that distance affords. On balance we find ourselves - early in 2007 - tending to the view that we were insufficiently pessimistic about where Britain would find herself early in the new millennium. We offer ourselves a modicum of self-congratulation that we probably picked the ultimate destination, but we lambaste ourselves for not anticipating how quickly events would unfold! That, of course, is why the term 'departure lounge Britain' is being increasingly heard as more and more of our countrymen conclude that 'the game is up' for what was once such a great place to live. Moreover, it is interesting to note that the exodus includes fellow citizens from established ethnic minority groups - who have also presumably had enough!

Looking forward we plan to offer, in the England Expects section of the NZ Gold website, three things that we hope will be of interest and value to our readers:

Comment and analysis on Britain's emerging slide towards a bizarre form of corporate fascist state.
Comment, analysis, and publications for 'Eurogees' (a term we chanced across during some research - and which seems ideally suited to describing British, and other aspirant Western European migrants, who are looking at New Zealand as a refuge from the unfolding madness).
Comment and analysis for existing New Zealand based expatriates - particularly our British countrymen - on what the implications of increasingly draconian U.K. and European Union legislation could mean for our way of life over here.

We do not claim to have all the answers and perhaps we are wrong. Perhaps Britain is a wonderfully functioning democracy, full of hugely contented and ever more prosperous people. Isn't that what the ruling elite would have us believe (isn't that what New Zealand's ruling elite would also have us believe about Britain)? The problem is that at NZ Gold we are logisticians - not politicians. We try to uncover facts - even if they may be unpalatable. We then seek to analyse what the information we have uncovered is telling us and to reach a conclusion as to how events might logically unfold. As we have worked on the NZ Gold Website we have undertaken a great deal of research - particularly in terms of the relationship between 'easy money' and the decline of real liberty. We say 'real liberty' because, in our book, true freedom is the ability to walk down a street without being watched, to say what you like without fear of arrest and 'show trial', to be free from carrying an identity card in the country of your birth, to know that your family's property - legitimately worked for - is yours and not the government's to confiscate at any time, to pursue your nation's historic religion without increasing state proscription, to know that a sovereign government and not a 'liberal elite/corporate cabal' makes the decisions affecting your life and to know that your savings will not be destroyed by the politicians most practiced con - monetary debasement. Weighed in the balance of what we understand to be freedom we find contemporary Britain disgraces her history. Abandon Ship?
