Yes, They Can

The Viscount Monckton of Brenchley described in a recent post being knocked out by a Danish cop in Copenhagen as he attended the party that was the UN Climatefest of Global Warming Believers. When he came to, he was struck with the brilliance that only can come as you realize he horror that you are in an insane asylum and the inmates are running it:

...I came to some time later (not sure exactly how long), to find my head being cradled by my friends, some of whom were doing their best to keep the police thugs at bay while the volunteer ambulance-men attended to me....

...However, the Danish police were far too free with their hands when pushing us around, and that is not acceptable in a free society. But then, Europe is no longer a free society. It is, in effect, a tyranny ruled by the unelected Kommissars of the European Union. That is perhaps one reason why police forces throughout Europe, including that in the UK, have become far more brutal than was once acceptable in their treatment of the citizens they are sworn to serve.

It is exactly this species of tyranny that the UN would like to impose upon the entire planet, in the name of saving us from ourselves – or, as Ugo Chavez would put it, saving us from Western capitalist democracy.

A few weeks ago, at a major conference in New York, I spoke about this tendency towards tyranny with Dr. Vaclav Klaus, the distinguished economist and doughty fighter for freedom and democracy who is President of the Czech Republic.

While we still have one or two statesmen of his caliber, there is hope for Europe and the world. Unfortunately, he refused to come to Copenhagen, telling me that there was no point, now that the lunatics were firmly in control of the asylum.

However, I asked him whether the draft Copenhagen Treaty’s proposal for what amounted to a communistic world government reminded him of he Communism under which he and his country had suffered for so long.He thought for a moment – as statesmen always do before answering an unusual question – and said, “Maybe it is not brutal. But in all other respects, what it proposes is far too close to Communism for comfort.”

Today, as I lay in the snow with a cut knee, a bruised back, a banged head, a ruined suit, and a written-off coat, I wondered whether the brutality of the New World Order was moving closer than President Klaus – or any of us – had realized.

Modifying a bit from what Richard Fernandez at the Belmont Club says in his post on this, people have always believed that ‘they can’t do that here; they can’t foist this fraud on me; they can’t take over 15% of the US economy just like that; they can’t give my tax money to Hugo Chavez; they can’t borrow money from China in my name and give to China, etc.’ But one day the answer to those questions will be “Yes, they can”.
