by the ipsiphi and friends - perque somos Europa.

Report this post to the editors

From the Azores to San Sebastian in the Basque
From Ceuta in Africa to Fatima in Portugal
From Ibiza to Lisbon...

The enfranchised citizens of Portugal and Spain
are invited to vote tomorrow on a 300+ document
which was written by Giscard d'Estang.

It is called the European Constitution.

got evicted, went deaf, was mostly poor.

got evicted, went deaf, was mostly poor.

Several states of the 450,000,000 population EU have already ratified without referenda this document.

It's first referendum is tommorrow.

It was passed by the EU Parliament deputies whose leaders then assembled under the statue of Constantine Emperor of Rome in that city and signed the 300+ pages.

Those leaders then looked for advice on how to sell the project to the masters and mistresses of propanganda.

Tell 'em about Beethoven we said.
Don't tell 'em about Giscard.

So they did, they sent every household in the Iberian Peninsula leaflets explaining that Ludwig von Beethoven who wrote the european anthem, believed in the fraternity of man.

They didn't mention several other important facts-

He never had the right to vote.
He never had the right to a home.
He never had the right to health care.
He never had the right to a pension.
He was evicted for non payment of rent and his furniture sold.
He was the star member of the fraternity of the deaf.
He opposed Napoleon vehemently in whose shadow he was forced to live without rights.
He needed health care, and without the money to pay doctors his deafness became total.
He couldn't understand Catalan.
He liked the environment.
He trusted in God.

Below are two photos which have been invoked by those who would pass this constitution in the name of the progress of Europe-

One of the men is thought to have been an illuminate and genius.

The other isn't.

¿can you guess which one is which?

not deaf, got diamonds, wrote too many pages.
