Looks like most of the Irish still have some fight in them. I know if more nations even gave their people a vote on this issue more nations would turn this Lisbon Treaty down. The “treaty” is really a back door constitution to federalize Europe. I guess we will have to wait and see how the power brokers of Europe get Tony Blair’s EU presidency and all the rest of their European federalization off the floor.

Ireland delivers stunning blow to Europe’s leaders | World news | The Guardian

The long campaign to forge a new dispensation for the European Union descended into panic and uncertainty yesterday when Ireland turned its back on its 26 EU partners and voted down the Lisbon Treaty.

EU leaders in Brussels and governments across the union, particularly Germany and France, were stunned by the Irish verdict, which amounted to a huge vote of no confidence in the way the EU is run.

The referendum in Ireland was the sole popular vote in the EU on the grand plan to give Europe a sitting president and foreign minister, and reconfigure the way the EU is governed. The result left the project severely wounded, perhaps fatally.

The Irish voted by a 7% margin, 53.6 to 46.4, against the treaty, which has already been ratified by 18 EU countries and is expected to be endorsed by the other eight.

The European Union plans to open their own embassies worldwide. This is just one more major step to a federalized European superpower that Daniel indicated would rise out of the area of the Old Roman Empire in the last days.

The European Union will open its own embassies under a plan critics fear represents a “power grab” by Brussels officials pushing for a federal superstate.

The secret plan represents the first time that full EU embassies have been discussed seriously.

The “Embassies of the Union” would be controlled by a new EU diplomatic service created by the Lisbon Treaty.

Here is one great interview with Joel Rosenberg who gives his very astute view of end time events. His latest book is “Dead Heat”

ROSENBERG: Well I think eventually Rome will be the center of the E.U. How is that going to happen? I don`t know. There is a lot I don`t know. The point is the Bible laid out some details it doesn`t give us all the details.

BECK: Is it true that we — we haven`t bombed parts of Iraq because of, not only the historic significance, but the biblical significance of — of Babylon?

ROSENBERG: Babylon itself, Babylon is a province, it`s also a city, but there is no one living in current Babylon, it`s being reconstructed. There is no question American forces were very careful about bombing in the area. However there was some archaeological destruction as troops were coming in and out of there. That was a problem.

But I interviewed for my previous book, “Epicenter,” a nonfiction book, “Epicenter,” you and I have talked about it. I interviewed the chief economic adviser to the current prime minister of Iraq and I said “The New York Times” and others are reporting you have a plan to rebuild Babylon as a cultural epicenter. He said absolutely. He walked me through the plans they have to rebuild the city. They believe cultural tourism in Iraq will be the second largest money producer after oil, two, three, four, five years down the road.

Now, right now it`s almost impossible to imagine people going on a vacation to Iraq.

BECK: Oh, no. Come to Iraq. I mean .

ROSENBERG: I just went there. My family thought I was crazy, president of Crazytown. But look, the Bible says that is what will happen. People will come from all over the world. Revelation describes all the merchants of the earth are coming to Iraq. That`s not that far off I don`t think.

The world will end in 2060, according to Newton News This is London: “He believed the Apocalypse would come in 2060 – exactly 1,260 years after the foundation of the Holy Roman Empire, according to a recently published letter. He believed the Apocalypse would come in 2060 – exactly 1,260 years after the foundation of the Holy Roman Empire, according to a recently published letter. “

Newton was wrong because he took prophecy allegorically. Had he taken it literally he would have known that the 1260 times in Daniel were days and not years since it tells us in scripture about a period of 42 months and 3 1/2 years. Both add up to 1260 days and complement what is said by Daniel. Also if Newton would have properly understood Daniel’s prophecies about a seven year covenent involving Israel that was broken in the midst he would have known that they were days.

Newton is also wrong about the Apocalypse not coming before 2060 AD. It most likely will. Just take a look around at all the world trends and try to even imagine how this present world could go on 53 more years. If it did it would either be a Islamo-fascist theocracy or a completely pagan world overrun by the hordes that come out of the East.

The Bible says that Israel and Jerusalem will be the focal point of the nations on earth in the end days. From what we see going on around Israel today the Apocalypse will most likely occur much sooner then 2060 AD. The Apocalypse is not the end of the world either, it is just the end of an evil age that will be replaced by an age of peace and justice under God’s Messiah.

Daily Express: The World’s Greatest Newspaper :: News / Showbiz :: Secret new plan for EU superstate
TONY Blair wants to hand the European Union radical new powers in his last act as Prime Minister, it emerged today.
The Prime Minister has welcomed controversial plans to bring back the troubled EU constitution by the back door - totally bypassing the need for public referendums on sweeping new powers for Brussels.German chancellor Angela Merkel has suggested ditching the name “constitution” from the title and instead calling it an “amending treatyÓ - to avoid having to seek the approval of voters.

You now see how your leader elitists think. If they cannot get the peons to approval the EU constitution just rename it to an “amending treaty” and then it is binding without getting approval of the voters. Imagine what these leaders would do during a time of world war when they have almost unlimited power and you will understand how the revived Roman Empire Beast will emerge in Europe.

Brown faces Germany’s EU treaty push Uk News News Telegraph
Gordon Brown faces a bruising battle over Europe as soon as he becomes prime minister after Germany moved last night to resurrect “much of the substance” of the European constitution.

The original European constitution was voted down in French and Dutch referendums in 2005
A document circulated by Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, made clear she has strong support from other member states in her attempt to revive most of the defunct treaty, which would strengthen Europe’s federal institutions.

They will keep pushing until they get a European constitution or a treaty that does the same thing. Once that happens you can kiss off any national sovereignty. The revived Roman empire of Bible prophecy that becomes the Beast is almost here.
