MALTA – AGAIN IN THE FRONT LINE OF RESISTING FASCISM

Dateline: 26th November 1999

From Rodney Atkinson to The Sunday Times of Malta:

As the author of the book "Europe's Full Circle" quoted extensively by your correspondent Eddie Privitera (October l7th) might I warn the people of Malta of the malign and blatantly political interference of the "European Movement" in Britain over the last 30 years as our nation, democracy and 800-year-old constitution have been largely wiped out.

I note that, as in their political propaganda in British schools, the European Movement promotes its ideas in your newspaper under the cloak of "information".

Big business and the European Commission, neither of which have of course been elected by anyone, finance the European Movement. Founded by Joseph Retinger, a stateless Pole who refused to carry a national passport and was expelled from Britain and France during the First World War ("as a result of political and social intrigues") the European Movement has sought the abolition of national democratic self-government in Europe. They have now largely succeeded in this aim.

According to his biographer Retinger said to de Gasperi, the Italian Prime Minister "You and I were both subjects of old Emperor Franz Josef. Come let us join forces and conspire together". CIA operatives funded the European Movement with at least $3m between 1949 and 1960. In the early 1950s the CIA operatives behind the European Movement said that the British members should be thrown out because they were not "federal minded enough".

It was also CIA money that funded the European Youth Movement led by the American Cord Meyer Junior (the politicising of youth being a characteristic of all anti democratic movements). Meyer secretly financed the "Yes" campaign in the British 1975 referendum on European Economic Community membership. A friend of mine, British MP Sir Richard Body was approached by two CIA agents sympathetic to Britain and its sovereign democracy who were worried about the biased nature of the CIA's support of European Movement propaganda against British independence. Meyer later became head of the CIA London
station and wrote a book "Peace or Anarchy" which said that all nations should be abolished.

This is what the European Movement (and all collectivists and fascists since the dawn of time) believe - that the solution to conflict is to abolish the conflicting parties! We democrats believe differently. It was only the nation state which spawned democracy while the supranational states (the Soviet Union, China and Hitler's Europe) destroyed it.

Malta played a noble part in the defeat of the totalitarian superstate of the 1940s, not to mention that other authoritarian empire builder, Napoleon. I am sure you will resist the siren voices of the European Movement today and choose nationhood and freedom.
