The re-education of Europeans

by Dr. Bruno Bandulet

zf. In his latest book, "The last years of the euro," Bruno Bandulet sets not only an explanation why the euro has no future. He also looks into the question of the ideological and political reasons to make a failed policy of EU Europe from the beginning: an ideology and a power structure that does not conform to European traditions. The following excerpt from the 6th Chapter of the book is a chapter with the heading forward, "The power structure of the European Union." There Bandulet refers to a newspaper article of the former judge at the German Federal Constitutional Court and German Federal President Roman Herzog in 2008, in which the decisions the European Court of Justice (ECJ), including the so-called non-discrimination, sharply criticized and summarizing put it: "The cases described show that the ECJ deliberately central principles of Western judicial interpretation and systematically ignored, decisions based unclean, the will to go the legislature or even turned into its opposite, and invents legal principles, which he can lay back on later decisions based. They show that the ECJ undermines the competences of the Member States themselves in the core areas of national jurisdiction. "This ties in with the following text.

was significant that two of the Duke of examples of EU non-discrimination came into play. The 2009 came into force the Treaty of Lisbon was known initially as the EU Constitution. Articles 2 and 3, you can still take in the strange values of the EU elites insight.
is different than in the basic law of God no mention. Instead, a cultural revolutionary alternative to religion constructed and hung on undefined phrases like pluralism, non-discrimination, tolerance and solidarity.
The EU committed itself in Article 3 to "eradicate poverty" not only in Europe but around the world (to go like that?), And "combat social exclusion and discrimination." Expressly counts them at their values, the "equality between women and men," not just equal rights.
addition to the "Treaty on European Union" (TEU), there exists a "Treaty on the Functioning of the EU" (Treaty). In this illusion of equality and the desire to re-educate Europeans to macro-and gender-neutral people to visit even more enjoyable. According to Article 8, the Union "in all its activities" out inequalities "eliminate" - as if this represented not the charm of Europe and the spice of life. In two articles (10 and 19) to "discrimination" (again and again that keyword!) discrimination on the grounds of "sexual orientation". The EU eliminated the distinction between law and morality, it breaks with the cultural heritage of Europe, it is the way to a new totalitarianism.
behind the Treaty of Lisbon, a kind of European Constitution, one may suspect a hidden agenda, or - that would be the more benign interpretation - it is seen as a mere absurdity.
the Lisbon Treaty explained as Hans Magnus Enzensberger at a ceremony in Copenhagen on 2 February 2010 is likely, in addition to the experts who have it worked out, have not studied each European citizen. "This has a very simple reason," continued Enzensberger, "it resembles namely, a wire entanglement. I suspect that this is in keeping with its authors. "
The general lack of interest is unfortunate, because transparency is a proven means of domination. We should already know to what legal principles, we are governed. After all, has long taken in Brussels and a European arrest warrant, the extradition of a citizen to a foreign State, for example because of unpopular opinions expressed even allows if the crime in his own country in general is not punishable.
is worth reading also Article 66 of the FEU Treaty, under which the "Council", ie the competent Ministers, on a proposal from the Commission after "consultation" , the ECB "certain protection measures" against "capital movements" to or from third countries impose. This makes it possible to stop in the event of a severe currency crisis, the freedom of capital movements, as well as transfers to Switzerland. Then, the citizens and investors to inmates of the EU zone. Such protective measures may be imposed for a maximum period of six months, a small consolation. You would then just be extended for another six months.
The EU is not the Europe that we wanted. The fact that this would be no alternatives, is a lie, and almost a prohibition on thinking.
"that 40 000 officials, including their propagandists should decide who is and who is not a good European, "is a rather abstruse idea Enzensberger said in his speech in Copenhagen. Since the 40 000
build no roads, maintain schools, neither the external nor internal security concerns and produce nothing, they must be redeployed. They distribute money and emit an unprecedented flood of orders, regulations and directives that are stacked up to at least 150 now 000 pages. "No way they expect," said Enzensberger, "that we ourselves know what is good for us, this we are in her eyes too helpless and immature. Therefore, we must are cared for and thoroughly re-educated. "
Because everything is under the primacy of equality, harmonization, centralized and redistributed. That the freedom in Europe to choose between different currencies, not fit into the concept makes sense. Ad personam is the commissioners and officials in Brussels done anything wrong. What they do is by the political class in the main cities wanted and tolerated. •

good faith

"Every person is entitled to it by the state organs without arbitrariness and in good and faith to be treated "

of Dr. iur. Marianne Wüthrich, Zurich

In the last issue of "Current Concerns" (No. 36/2010) were asked the Federal Council candidates about their attitudes than the Swiss and their position as a politician. All four respondents (Johann Schneider-Ammann and Karin Keller-Sutter, FDP, Brigit Wyss, GP, and Jean-François Rime, SVP) known to the Swiss model, an independent, sovereign, directly democratic and federalist Switzerland, all featured four are behind the principle of neutrality, combined with the humanitarian commitment of Switzerland as the depositary of the Geneva Conventions and to the tradition of good offices, all four were in favor of food sovereignty and security. That the two SP candidates, the issues of "Current Concerns" could not or would not answer, leaves many questions.
can the same be expected from all authorities of the future federal councils: that they fulfill the task entrusted to them by the sovereign, in the serious and honest efforts to preserve the unique Swiss model, in constant and open interaction with the population, in know that the foundation of direct democracy in the deeply felt need and the will of the citizens is to make its active contribution to the community - for their community, for their District, for their country and for the other people around the world.

"Democracy is ultimately not a matter of form of government, but a matter of public sentiment." Thus, the Swiss historian Adolf Gasser wrote in 1947 ("community of freedom as a rescue of Europe", p. 10). Today, more than 60 years later, most of them Swiss, the Democratic People's sentiments still carry in my heart, but threatened it is from the outside: the direct-democratic, federal, neutral and small-scale organized Switzerland, the centralist and undemocratic EU bureaucracy in Brussels, a thorn in the side . For years, European politicians try, the small, to crack but weighty nuisance in the internal market of large companies. They are not afraid to harness and Swiss politicians for their purposes, some of which unfortunately go along with the bad game, either for personal lust for power, either from lack of conflict and lack of knowledge.
It is time to take so many of our politicians and government members to account and to remind them of the principles of law, they observed during the performance of their oath of office have vowed. For the free will of the citizens and the independent democratic decision based on it requires in the referendums that the people on the Compliance with the law and rely on the honesty of the authorities can.

The rule of law
"core concept of law is the reduction of state power in favor of individual freedom." 1 The basis of law is the principle of legality, which means the elimination of all state organs to the right. A corollary of the principle of legality, the principle of separation of powers. Purpose of law is "the protection of human dignity and individual freedom," accordingly, will the rule of law on individuals' protect against abuse and arbitrary action of state authorities. " The principle of legality
includes, for example, that the municipal council (the executive) may delegate his powers in the Municipal Code regulated neither an organizational development office nor a so-called "control group", but exercise its statutory duties and must account for himself.
The principle of separation of powers, so the division of state power in legislative, executive and judicial branches, must be monitored very carefully today by the citizens. Supreme power in a democracy is the legislature, in a direct democracy so the people of Switzerland, the sovereign. Under the influence of foreign governments, some whisperers tear on all three levels of government, however, bypassing the people - and sometimes the parliaments - more and more power for himself by they create outside of the legally established organization of the state institutions to new EU model, such as the Conference of Cantonal Governments, metropolitan clubs and regional conferences and, more recently Metropolitan conferences. The Swiss political landscape is flooded with such a strange understanding of our state structures which include partially and institutions outside the national borders and seemingly harmless as private clubs come along with no decision making powers. Our government and local councils and many government officials who were elected by us to fulfill their constitutional duties sitting instead in such clubs, together with professional with our tax dollars paid " Experts "and finally put - if we're lucky! - The parliaments and the electorate, the results of their years of "experts work" before the nod by. Frequently, however, is not voted on because it is supposedly not a "decision" to go, but only of a "informal discussion". None of this strange entity was constituted by the people, not the executive or politician - elected officials for such actions.

The principle of law "good faith"
"proves to be particularly consequential that the public many lies of our \u0026lt;Eliten> have destroyed more and more confidence and the classical principle of law of \u0026lt;Treu and Glauben>, the coexistence and cooperation is based on the premise that people act decently, called into question. is "(Dr. Thomas Huber Current Concerns No 36/2010).
For the rule of law all authorities by the Constitution to the protection of good faith required. In the Swiss Federal Constitution of 1999, this legal principle is stated explicitly, before he was implicitly

Federal Constitution BV Article 9:
protection against arbitrary and preservation of good faith
Each person is entitled to it by the state organs without arbitrariness and in good treated faith.

According to constitutional law doctrine protects BV Art 9, the confidence of private information and assurances in the authorities, including Article 9 prohibits inconsistent behavior of the authorities. A right of action, citizens, who have taken on false information irrevocable dispositions (see lecture notes Prof. W. Kälin, spring semester 2010). It is obvious that false representations and information from the authorities to influence before a national referendum for the purpose, the voting behavior of voters, as a clear breach of good faith must be assessed - whether the false information are now made in bad faith or not. But also distributed over a longer time constant repetition of untrue statements ("Laying a carpet Information") is contrary to Article 9 of the Federal Constitution.

Non-material damage directly democratic model for Switzerland
But the damage reached a much larger extent than the fact that the individual citizen would have cast his vote otherwise, he would have been properly informed. Substantive fears must be a whole number of referendums in recent years that the voting result would be different if the executive had properly informed. This would also apply only to a single vote, it would be bad enough. Far more serious, however, the moral prejudice caused to the direct democracy, as a such and for the moral and ethical status of the citizens. This is how Adolf Gasser as an essential characteristic of a healthy democracy, that they have a "altangestammtes and extremely vigorous self-management of their local and regional sub-associations" has, Gasser calls this the "ethical dimension of democracy" (see Current Concerns No 45/2006) . It is a peculiarity of the model of direct democracy that citizens feel responsible for their community and gain their active participation and living as well as their emotional quality of life. Therefore, it needs each of us, with all his might and with all constructive citizens and citizen groups put together for the preservation of the Swiss model einzu-
.

breach of good faith: relationship between Switzerland and the EU already
A classic example is the conflicting statements and the non-transparent behavior of the Federal Council concerning the relationship between Switzerland and the EU. On 19 August 2010 was President Doris Leuthard before the media and said after years of maneuvering by the Federal Council, this had come to the conclusion that the bilateral approach continues to be best suited for Switzerland. At the same time, the Federal stubbornly refuses to withdraw its deposited since 1992 in Brussels for EU membership, and everyone knows that all departments of the federal busy with nothing are to transpose EU law as continuous in Swiss law, on their own initiative and without external necessity. Also, the Federal Council has continued to take its various "European policy options", be it a framework agreement for the automatic adoption of EU legislation, this is the EEA or the EU accession of Switzerland. We ask the Federal Council and in particular of the two newly elected candidates that they push such a trust detrimental conduct a stop and now its constitutional obligation to protect the independence of Switzerland (Article 185 paragraph 1 BV) as well as to the repeatedly expressed people will keep clear: No to EEA and EU membership.

violated Federal neutrality
A second, equally serious breach of legitimate expectations is the flippant use of the principle of perpetual armed neutrality, Switzerland has taken over 200 years of great blessing. At the same time violates the Federal Council for many years his constitutional duty:

BV Article 185 paragraph 1: The Federal
take measures to safeguard the external security, independence and neutrality of Switzerland.

It would queue the Federal well, according to the still valid recommendation of Brother Klaus "the fence, not to put too much" and to the modest but urgent necessary role of neutral Switzerland reclaim small state as guardian of the Geneva Conventions and provider of humanitarian assistance and good offices. Instead, the Federal injured except for years against the firm will of an overwhelming majority of the people, the neutrality requirement and claims against their better knowledge of Swiss neutrality expression of the full NATO membership have room for everything, so to speak.
The list of anti-neutrality acts and false information of citizens is long: for example, the Federal Council concluded behind the back of the sovereign, the Partnership for Peace Agreement (PfP) with NATO, he has our army from the constitutional militia-Defense Forces converted into a NATO-compatible by force of servants and professional soldiers, he has the legal establishment of foreign missions nearly brought by a popular vote, as he was facing the people, it related to peace operations. Further, the Federal falsely claims himself a seat in Switzerland in the UN Security Council, a power tool par excellence were not, contrary to neutrality. Yes, not even the EU accession of Switzerland would be repeated, but no less false statement of the Federal Council in breach of the neutrality, although anyone can read in the newspaper that the EU, with its ESDP (European Security and Defence Policy) at various places in the world waging war. In this war, the Federal Alliance wanted to embed a year ago, the Swiss army even to participation in the so-called fight against pirates in the Gulf of Somalia ("Atalanta"), which was fortunately rejected by the National Council.
The Federal Council is to finally pursue a policy of neutrality, worthy of the name.

return to the ethical values of the Swiss model
for the implementation of what the Federal candidates have assured in an interview with Time-related issues, namely to work for the preservation of the sovereign, independent, just, democratic, federal and neutral Switzerland, we wish them the confidence and power.
At the conclusion was to a large Federal reminded the executive branch should take today as an example:
"The confrontation of our country with the process of European integration has forced our people to deal in turn take more of a higher order values. The result of this self-reflection is an enjoyable one. Widest circles of our people have once again clearly the value of our political institutions, federalism and direct democracy recognized. They feel instinctively how much the conservation of these institutions by the consistent continuation of our policy of neutrality is dependent. "(Federal Friedrich Traugott Wahlen, 1963, to the National Council) •

ethics and morality in the globalized world

There is no freedom without ethics and morality

fellow human beings by Dr. Thomas Huber *

I begin with two quotations: one from Benjamin Franklin who said, give up, "Who the freedom to gain security will end up losing both, "and with a second statement of Baron Wilhelm von Humboldt:" Security is a precondition for freedom, "
the beginning of my remarks, I would like to define security and freedom short.
to First Security: An individual is safe if it is in a state without Danger to life, limb and property is located, if the rule of law and democratic institutions are functioning reliably and consistently and you at all times, independent and has committed to the truth of information.
When I explained to me the issue was, I did not omit to consult the PC in order by "googling" extract something useful! The exercise was of short duration: More than thousand entries dealt with the issue of security - it seems one of the enduring problems of modern man to be to obtain "security" in all circumstances and at any price, even if lost by other values !
For freedom: According to Kant, human dignity, the autonomy of his will, his freedom. This freedom is the foundation of all mankind's constitution and the democratic and constitutional principle. The outer freedom is the independence of any other necessary final arbitrariness of the constraint. Inner freedom is grounded in the morality which can not be achieved without morals.

loss of proportionality
It was also clear to me that has been lost in all of our lives, the proportionality. If Mr Ospel as the top banker at UBS earned more than 800 times the cleaning lady - noted in one way on the first day when they was not there, while the Board is extremely unlikely - that's a sign that the middle way has been lost. It lacks the gray tones. In many areas there is only black or white, in political polarization in the left and right - there is no fruitful dialogue, but only one for or against. The responsibility of special interests in every form to prevent a progressive development of our society.
The loss of balance, the arbitrariness, the short-term profit, greed and crawl out from any responsibility are essential characteristics of our contemporary situation. That particularly our elites of all Couleur profile in this reprehensible attitude speaks volumes.
Allow me some brief reflections in the light of the statement in the 2nd Moses, Exodus 24: "An eye for eye, tooth for a tooth" - a statement that the issues identified in basically the balance, proportionality, we should also keep in dealing with our adversaries. live is only the beginning of a mandatory law on Mount Sinai by Moses gave the people the security, freedom to be able to.
I refer to in these observations of my own experiences and things that have happened in the last couple of years before the eyes of the world.
During my assignment as an ICRC delegate in Lebanon at the beginning of the 70 years I was responsible for a refugee camp of about 10 000 refugees, mainly Palestinians. The people who stole from the camp and the local police made problems. The reason was the hunger and the loss of home and freedom - in neighboring Germany after the war there was a saying: "pilfering is permitted." The reactions of the Israelis were disproportionate in every respect. To obtain more security for themselves, they limited the freedom of inmates solid, a part of international law. There were also other restrictions, such as reduced water, food and medicines. This was the cycle of violence opened: It was followed by bomb attacks by the Palestinians and in turn the flash back 10 times the Israeli army. Today we have in Gaza, a security wall and a barrier to the Berlin Wall at the inferior border of the GDR in nothing and have been installed with the largest prison on the planet. The price of the security on the one hand, the total loss of freedom on the other side.
The eleventh of September is - regardless of how you judge him, whether carried out by Americans themselves as to the legitimacy of preventive war or assassination of al-Qaeda - is perhaps the most glaring example of what people are willing to invest when it comes to alleged safety of it: namely, the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. Especially dramatic is when God is being exploited in the name of a crusade against evil for a crime against humanity. The use of uranium munitions on a large scale and thus the acceptance of tens of thousands of genetically damaged children is another feature of this incredible loss of proportionality. The organization
Switzerland Afghanistan, which I presided as president and wanted to achieve with donations and money from the SDC, the Department for Development and Cooperation of the Federal, agricultural projects in Afghanistan had, including the project for safety Cancel: Locally, the schools, especially girls, destroyed by Taliban and shot the teacher, and trust people turned out to be CIA agents. This was an impossible freedom to be realized in agriculture project for peace.
In the following - not entitled to the scheme and by no means considered to be complete - a few points of gone awry balance in the light of freedom and security are mentioned:
First, the security report of the covenant would have the question read: How much security does the people to be able to continue to develop in peace and freedom? Is it alone acceptable? Is there a middle way? Or do we need a connection to an alliance within the EU, NATO or the UN? Should Switzerland actually - as the GSoA, the company wants to Switzerland without an army, - be demilitarized? Can they still credibly claim to be neutral, then if NATO must ensure the safety? Should Switzerland is actually a "free-riding" at the expense of seeking alliances to which they want to belong not political?
The policy has become more difficult to calculate because there has been a polarization between left and right and the center is struggling to strike a balance. The predictability has come under the wheels.
The company, which marked a strong SME sector could rely, who was responsible for the security, is under increasing pressure because of the expense of middle class political economy to bear.
was moreover pointed Luther in his work on the Freedom of a Christian that security is a fundamental prerequisite for faith in the confidence in the truth!
And today's penal system is an exemplary example of the lack of proportionality: Where to start, where does the basic rights of a prisoner, and where the safety of the population has a higher priority?
The list would continue as required. But what is the reason that we are practically in all spheres of life disciplines and the measure of things have lost?

lack of morality is
The theory that human development by a lack "of love and truth", is hampered by a lack of morality. And indeed, many of today's evils have something to do with a lack of consistent ethical penetration of our own feelings, thoughts and actions. This is not so keen to ensure that ethical principles are missing, but probably more so because these bases are too little attention - which raises some questions as: Why
these bases are not observed?
Why is the observance of these principles called for too little?
What is needed so that these principles are not only written but also in a mass attention that they shape our life together? Only
alone to answer these three questions is a human task. But this task must be addressed urgently. Because humanity sees itself more and more confronted with the fact that only prosecuted criminally to be named sentiments and actions not only in the state to find the criminal milieu and are usually the exception, but that very influential part of our "elites" in politics, economics and finance, military, media and culture, to - as the church father Augustine would say - have degenerated into "bandits" justice with which the feet occur without being prosecuted by the state.
The measureless waste of taxpayers' money in the EU, whose Günstlingskultur the opinion manipulation, the totally non-transparent business processes and the absolutely undemocratic decision-making - are examples of this abound read in the book, "The European case" by Hans-Peter Martin - or the questionable commitment to the NATO in Afghanistan - these are all aspects of contemporary events, which take the safety of the citizens to live in a democratic state in freedom!
proves to be particularly far turned out that the many public lies of our "elites" ever more Confidence and have destroyed the traditional legal principle of "good faith" the coexistence and cooperation is based on the premise that people act decently and honestly, is called into question.
But all the variants of "Trust is good, control is better" up to "the virtue terrorism" are no prospects, and they also no convincing alternatives to the once destroyed confidence dar. A turning point to better cope with an inner safety orientation to a fellow human beings ethics.

fellow human beings ethics
What conditions should ensure a shift?
A classical education is more necessary than ever, because the question can not read Goethe or Googling? Who will explain to the students our future, the world? While it is obvious that the school is to teach practical skills: reading, writing, arithmetic, Googling (a new verb that will prevail), the use of PC and Internet. But the decisive factor is that the school has to teach ideals and contexts that precede all practical individual benefits. In particular, the culture is to recognize as a tissue in which it all fits together. Motifs of Greek mythology or the Bible as we encounter in literature, opera, theater, museum, but also in thousands of everyday things. To him that she deciphered, reveals the world as complex readable book. And with that he experienced a joy of recognition that goes beyond any material benefit.
What do we need? Our time is marked by pendulum between expectation and disappointment, always from one extreme to another. The great hopes that we make our burst, on the sharp edges of reality.

good faith must re-apply
The writer and pioneer of journalism, Matthias Claudius, so rather: have something solid, the man. The flights of his goals in life you can not build on sand.
We need people to which one can rely on. That can not promise when they promise something. Prophet who preach against the tide of time. People with foresight, perspectives and life goals. People can trust. No fear and alarmist, but encouragement. Not pessimistic, but hope. Probably we need more leadership in all areas again as management.
The resurgent belief in creation is not a comprehensive prevention suffering insurance, no vaccination against poverty and worries of everyday life. And yet it releases forces, with the suffering to be done before it overwhelms us and we break the theodicy.
God is not a guarantee of morality nor religion is a supplier of a world view. Rather, morality and belief is a matter of rationality of man, and thus a proof of his adulthood.
One should we bear in mind: the happiness we all seek is anything for granted. If luck does not come true, people feel cheated and are looking for a scapegoat.
The French sociologist Pascal Bruckner commented in the newspaper "Le Temps" by analogy as follows: our societies have been living in the era of the sixties "pursuit of happiness." This happiness is considered an acquired right at birth. If it does not come true, people feel cheated and are therefore looking for a scapegoat. The risks of life are in fact, incompatible with the happiness. So when the emergency occurs, someone inevitably thwarted the happiness or provoked the accident. The suffering, death, the risks of life are unacceptable. Victims are given a sacred character. Because of this victimization, a new social contract is closed, which indicates a compensation culture, which the state assigns an almost divine role, especially in a society that tries to push aside any religious act.

Greifbar the responsibility
Lastly, a revelation of our national saint - for me, one of Switzerland's largest, if not the greatest, without which we here in this little Form would be assembled, Brother Klaus. His advice "stuck the fence not too far" allowed the Stans, thus saving the old Confederation. The message is a general one. It is called something other words: If small, calculable for your countrymen, measurable, transparent, supportive and tangible in the responsibility! This is certainly a guarantee for freedom. •
