Rodney Eric Bainbridge Atkinson died suddenly on 30th May 2026. Beloved husband of Lynn. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. Telegraph If you are interested in true freedom and are an intelligent, loyal subject of the Queen you should know what has happened to our country. https://politicsthisweek.gn.apc.org/2026/06/the-bristol-politics-show-presented-by-tony-gosling-26/ This book exposes the unpleasant origins and purposes of the EU and was written by two decent and intelligent men. If more people were to read it they might not be so keen on the way the UK has been steered, sleep-walking, into becoming a slave state of the EU. The European Union’s Evil Pedigree – Berlin 1942 - Posted By: Rodney Atkinsonon: July 05, 2012 http://freenations.net/the-european-unions-evil-pedigree-berlin-1942/ INTRODUCTION by Rodney Atkinson: The most precise blueprint for the structure and indeed the protectionist and corporatist political economy of the 1957 founded “European Economic Community” which we now know as the European Union, was the publication in 1942 in Berlin of the “Europaeische Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft” of which two of the most significant lectures are here translated by Edward Spalton. Those who thought that the “building of Europe” in the 1950s could in no way replicate the German dominated Europe of the 1940s may now be reconsidering their optimism. The years since the second world war have culminated in a rich German State, dominant German industry and a European Union run by Berlin while most EU countries seem politically powerless and approach bankruptcy. Nor can this dominance be regarded as accidental. It was Helmut Kohl who said “The future will belong to the Germans … when we build the house of Europe.” and it was Adenauer’s Minister of Commerce, Dr Seebohm (anticipating the British Government’s favourite phrase “Britain at the heart of Europe”!) who asserted that “Germany is the heart of Europe and the limbs must adjust themselves to the heart not the heart to the limbs.” It was a German Christian Democrat Party paper in 1995 “Reflections on European Policy” which issued the threat: “If European integration were not to progress, Germany might be called upon by its own security constraints to try to effect stabilisation of Eastern Europe in the traditional manner” As Walter Lippman wrote in the Herald Tribune in 1947 “If thirty years hence Germany dominates Europe and thus holds the balance of power between Russia and the English speaking nations, German historians will not count this war as a true defeat.” This is the situation 60 years later and it did not come about “by accident”. And if those who genuinely sought a different Europe ignorantly reproduced so many of the characteristics of 1940s Fascism and Nazism then their naivety is as unforgiveable as those Nazis who “set the points” for post war Europe, knowing precisely where the train would arrive! Europaeische Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft (EWG) European Economic Community (EEC) by Edward Spalton – a personal view June 2012 With increasing stresses and strains in the EU, German dominance of Europe is emerging as an incontestable fact. The EU’s own account of itself completely omits the attempt at creating a pan European bloc under this title, devised not by Monnet and Schuman but by the ideologues, economists and industrialists of the Third Reich and their collaborators. They too envisaged an era and area of harmony where the peoples of Europe would co-operate fruitfully under a New Order in a large area economy (Grossraumwirtschaft). The concept was launched in 1940 soon after Dunkirk and by 1942 was the subject of a high level gathering of what might have been termed “the Great and the Good” in a more normal society. In 2002 I translated the introduction and lead paper of this series of lectures. It was published as a booklet by the Democrat Press, a publisher based in the labour and trade union movement. By one of those very long coincidences, I first heard about what is now the EU when I was in the lower sixth on a school trip to Hanover in 1958, the year after the EEC’s founding Treaty of Rome. “Have you heard about our Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft?” asked my German host “It will guarantee our living standard”. When we got back home our teacher explained that the word meant “Economic Community” and it had been created by a treaty between Germany, France, the Benelux countries and Italy the previous year. Not knowing anything of its structure, we thought it was a hopeful sign for future peace and prosperity in Europe. As several other boys had been told the same thing by their hosts, it was obviously something which our German friends had learned in school. Our teacher remarked on this and said it showed a difference in tradition between our countries. We would not be taught such a political opinion as fact in a British school.
