Strands of Evil by Edward Spalton 

Introduction

To many people in the Sixties, the European “Common Market” looked to be a very hopeful development. Apart from genuine good will to our European neighbours, there was a feeling that mainland Western Europe had somehow got things right. Britain seemed increasingly shabby and strike-prone by comparison.

When Britain joined the EEC in 1973 the effect on our family animal feed business was profound. We were suddenly controlled entirely by the European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) which was the antithesis of the free trade in food which we had previously enjoyed. We were instantly cut off from our long-established suppliers in the Commonwealth and entered a complicated system of politically determined prices and subsidies which rapidly increased material costs.

This set me thinking. Such a detailed project must have an ideology behind it but I could not recognise it. It was nothing to do with free trade – more like a siege economy. As I looked further into the arrangements for “Europe”, the project appeared more and more authoritarian, anti-democratic and bizarre.

I became what is now called a Eurosceptic but still nobody could tell me where the CAP really originated.

It was only in 2003 that I got the definitive answer in a series of German conference papers from 1942, entitled “European Economic Community”. There the basics were all set out. The lead paper was by Walther Funk, Reichsminister for the Economy and Post War Planning and President of the Reichsbank. The post war EEC's largest policy and biggest budget item by far was controlled by his dead hand from the Sixties for another forty years. The original EEC (Europaeische Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft) had been founded in 1940, immediately following the evacuation of British forces from Dunkirk.

The conference had been organised by a man called Heinrich Hunke, a senior Nazi and influential academic who went on to a successful post war career in the politics and administration of Lower Saxony. He founded an institute for European regional “Spatial Planning” (Raumordnung) which is active to this day. He eventually became Director of the Ministry of Finance. Another significant coincidence was that the former Reichsminister Funk was released from his Nurmeberg life sentence and quickly found employment in the academic life of the Lower Saxon capital of Hannover the year before I visited the city.

Strands of Evil

Although I did not know it at the time, I had evidence in 1958 of the thoroughness with which Professor Doktor Hunke promoted the European project. I was on a school trip to Hannover where I noticed that our German contemporaries had already been indoctrinated in school on the beneficence of the EEC. This was within a year of the Treaty of Rome. (*1)

In 1958, we sixth formers thought that the “Common Market”, as it was called, was a hopeful and progressive project for the countries of Europe. If we had been educated in Germany, we would also have known that the many separate states of early 19th century Germany had formed a single Common Market or Customs Union, to the great benefit of their economy, long before Germany became a politically united country. So it is quite natural and not evil and sinister in itself that German people should expect countries joining such an arrangement to know that the likely outcome is eventually political union. I was recently interviewed by two very pleasant young men from Norddeutscher Rundfunk who were frankly rather sad and puzzled that so many British people did not see things this way.

The evil is that our own leaders concealed the nature of the European project from us. Even the europhile Lord Hattersley half admitted as much: “Not only was it wrong to deal superficially with what Europe involved but we've paid the price for it ever since, because every time there's a crisis in Europe , people say, with some justification “Well, we would not have been part of this if we'd really known the implications.” (*2)

At the end of the war, many Christian people invested their hopes in the new international organisations, such as the Council of Europe, the EEC and the United Nations, literally out of the goodness of their hearts. They would certainly have been less trusting, if they had known the sort of people who were being appointed to positions of great power and influence – people like Brock Chisholm, the first Director General of the World Health Organisation . He wrote -
“To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family, tradition, national patriotism and religious dogmas.The reinterpretation and eventually the eradication of the concept of right and wrong which has been the basis of child training, the substitution of intelligent and rational thinking for faith in the certainties of old people, these are the belated objectives of practically all effective psychotherapy”.

That is as near to pure evil as it is possible to get. It is a totalitarian inversion of all the things which make men and women truly human, moral beings. Neither should we forget that many people in positions of great power and influence were under the spell of Marxist communism, a quantitatively far more murderous creed than Nazism or fascism. The eminent Marxist historian, the recently deceased Eric Hobsbawm, never denounced the crimes of Stalin yet he was held in high regard in high places in this country. The cultural Marxists of Gramsci's school have captured most of our institutions of higher learning and much of local and national government. They themselves called this “the long march through the institutions”. Many politicians, not just Labour, have accepted his pernicious doctrines. It is to them that we owe the manias of “political correctness” “equalities” and “human rights” (as presently interpreted), not least that strange inversion “gay marriage”. Mr Cameron says he supports this “because I am a conservative” but, in fact, he is merely enforcing a programme agreed by the EU's parallel organisation, the Council of Europe. This will compel European countries to recognise homosexual marriages contracted in other European states – so we must “modernise” here to “harmonise” the situation.

Gramsci preached that society should be attacked subtly with the aim of transforming the collective mind gradually over several generations. His aim was to remove the Christian influence which still persisted. He would do his by forming what others have called a “rainbow coalition” of groups with real or imagined grievances – radical feminists, homosexuals, environmentalists, ultra liberal church groups and so on. They would aim for the elites within the middle classes – a process Gramsci described as “the absorption of the elites of the enemy classes” which is why Mr Cameron supports “gay marriage” and even many Conservative MPs do not object to propaganda amongst children for homosexuality, starting with nursery school tales where “the two princes lived together happily ever after” - real fairy stories, these! It is called “queering the curriculum”. All elements of traditional culture are undermined. Many churches are transformed into vaguely progressive political clubs with the stress on “social justice” or even “climate justice”! Worship is trivialised to entertainment; doctrine, faith and morals dissolved into “all you need is love”.

So, if you think the world is turned upside down, you are right.

Following the doctrine of Brock Chisholm, the World Health Organisation, like our own government, promotes the murder of the unborn, carried out by people whose profession is supposedly healing.

The British government withholds aid and from countries which do not promote homosexuality.

The Foreign Office's job used to be to represent us abroad. Now it has a department called EU (Internal) to represent the EU to us!

Government no longer defends us from invasion and colonisation but calls it “cultural enrichment” and enacts laws which make it dangerous to speak against this deliberate “election of a new people” by the government.

So there are other evil ideologies working within the European project, apart from those associated with Nazism and fascism. Communism and fascism are like two sides of the same bad penny or you could liken the totality of these various hellish mental constructs to the different aspects of a great palace of deceit, erected by the Father of Lies.
