Vladimir Bukovsky, the 63-year old former Soviet dissident, fears that the European Union is on its way to becoming another Soviet Union.
In a speech he delivered in Brussels last week Mr Bukovsky
called the EU a “monster” that must be destroyed, the sooner the better,
before it develops into a full-fledged totalitarian state.
Fidesz, a member of the European Christian Democrat group, had invited the former Soviet dissident over from England, where he lives, on the occasion of this year’s 50th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Uprising.
After his morning meeting with the Hungarians, Mr Bukovsky gave an afternoon speech in a Polish restaurant in the Trier straat, opposite the European Parliament, where he spoke at the invitation of the United Kingdom Independence Party, of which he is a patron.
These documents confirm the existence of a “conspiracy” to turn the European Union into a socialist organization. I attended the meeting and taped the speech. A transcript, as well as the audio fragment (approx. 15 minutes) can be found below.
I also
had a brief interview with Mr Bukovsky (4 minutes), a transcript and audio
fragment of which can also be found below. The interview about the European
Union had to be cut short because Mr Bukovsky had other engagements, but it
brought back some memories to me, as I had interviewed Vladimir Bukovsky
twenty years ago, in 1986, when the Soviet Union, the first monster that he
so valiantly fought, was still alive and thriving.
In 1976 the Soviets expelled him to the West. In 1992 he was invited by the Russian government to serve as an expert testifying at the trial conducted to determine whether the Soviet Communist Party had been a criminal institution. To prepare for his testimony Mr Bukovsky was granted access to a large number of documents from Soviet secret archives.
He is one of the few people ever to have seen these documents because they are still classified.
Using a small handheld
scanner and a laptop computer, however, he managed to copy many documents
(some with high security clearance), including KGB reports to the Soviet
government.
Transcript of Mr Bukovsky’s Brussels speech
These documents show very clearly that the whole idea of turning the
European
common market into a federal state was agreed between the left-wing
parties of Europe and Moscow as a joint project which [Soviet leader
Mikhail] Gorbachev in 1988-89 called our “common European home.”
They all complained that the changes in the world, particularly after [British Prime Minister Margaret] Thatcher introduced privatization and economic liberalization, were threatening to wipe out the achievement (as they called it) of generations of Socialists and Social-Democrats - threatening to reverse it completely.
Therefore the only way to withstand this onslaught of wild capitalism (as they called it) was to try to introduce the same socialist goals in all countries at once.
Prior to that, the left-wing parties and the Soviet Union had opposed European integration very much because they perceived it as a means to block their socialist goals. From 1985 onwards they completely changed their view. The Soviets came to a conclusion and to an agreement with the left-wing parties that if they worked together they could hijack the whole European project and turn it upside down.
Instead of an open market they would turn it into a federal
state.
In the East the Soviets needed a change of relations with Europe because they were entering a protracted and very deep structural crisis; in the West the left-wing parties were afraid of being wiped out and losing their influence and prestige.
So it was a conspiracy, quite openly made by them, agreed upon,
and worked out.
It included,
They had a very nice conversation where they tried to explain to
Gorbachev that Soviet Russia had to integrate into the financial
institutions of the world, such as Gatt, the
IMF and the
World Bank.
This was January 1989, at a time when the [1992] Maastricht treaty had not even been drafted.
How the hell did Giscard d’Estaing know what was going to
happen in 15 years time? And surprise, surprise, how did he become the
author of the European constitution [in 2002-03]? A very good question. It
does smell of conspiracy, doesn’t it?
The structures have to fit each other. This is
why the structures of the European Union were initially built with the
purpose of fitting into the Soviet structure. This is why they are so
similar in functioning and in structure.
Similarly, when you look at the European Commission it looks like the Politburo. I mean it does so exactly, except for the fact that the Commission now has 25 members and the Politburo usually had 13 or 15 members. Apart from that they are exactly the same, unaccountable to anyone, not directly elected by anyone at all. When you look into all this bizarre activity of the European Union with its 80,000 pages of regulations it looks like Gosplan.
We used to have an organization which was planning everything
in the economy, to the last nut and bolt, five years in advance. Exactly the
same thing is happening in the EU. When you look at the type of EU
corruption, it is exactly the Soviet type of corruption, going from top to
bottom rather than going from bottom to top.
Of course, it is a milder version of the Soviet Union. Please, do not misunderstand me. I am not saying that it has a Gulag. It has no KGB - not yet - but I am very carefully watching such structures as Europol for example.
That really worries me a lot because this organization will probably have powers bigger than those of the KGB. They will have diplomatic immunity.
Can you imagine a KGB with diplomatic immunity? They will have to police us on 32 kinds of crimes - two of which are particularly worrying,
No criminal court on earth defines anything like this as a crime [this is not entirely true, as Belgium already does so - pb].
So it is a new crime, and we have already been warned. Someone from the British government told us that those who object to uncontrolled immigration from the Third World will be regarded as racist and those who oppose further European integration will be regarded as xenophobes.
I think
Patricia Hewitt said this publicly.
Look at this persecution of people like the Swedish pastor who was persecuted for several months because he said that the Bible does not approve homosexuality.
France passed the same law of hate speech concerning gays. Britain is passing hate speech laws concerning race relations and now religious speech, and so on and so forth. What you observe, taken into perspective, is a systematic introduction of ideology which could later be enforced with oppressive measures. Apparently that is the whole purpose of Europol.
Otherwise why do we need it? To me Europol looks very suspicious. I watch very carefully who is persecuted for what and what is happening, because that is one field in which I am an expert.
I know how Gulags spring up.
My immediate reaction is why do we need it?
Britain survived two world wars,
the war with Napoleon, the Spanish Armada, not to mention the Cold War, when
we were told at any moment we might have a nuclear world war, without any
need for introducing this kind legislation, without the need for suspending
our civil liberties and introducing emergency powers. Why do we need it
right now? This can make a dictatorship out of your country in no time.
Major political parties have been completely taken in by the new EU project. None of them really opposes it. They have become very corrupt. Who is going to defend our freedoms? It looks like we are heading towards some kind of collapse, some kind of crisis. The most likely outcome is that there will be an economic collapse in Europe, which in due time is bound to happen with this growth of expenses and taxes.
The inability to create a competitive environment, the overregulation of the
economy, the bureaucratization, it is going to lead to economic collapse.
Particularly the introduction of the euro was a crazy idea. Currency is not
supposed to be political.
The recrimination between nations will be huge. It might come to blows. Look to the huge number of immigrants from Third World countries now living in Europe. This was promoted by the European Union.
What will happen with them if there is an economic collapse?
We will probably have, like in the Soviet Union at the end, so much ethnic strife that the mind boggles. In no other country were there such ethnic tensions as in the Soviet Union, except probably in Yugoslavia.
So that is exactly what will happen here, too. We have to be prepared for that.
This huge edifice of bureaucracy is going to
collapse on our heads.
If one million people march on Brussels today these guys will run away to the Bahamas. If tomorrow half of the British population refuses to pay its taxes, nothing will happen and no-one will go to jail. Today you can still do that. But I do not know what the situation will be tomorrow with a fully fledged Europol staffed by former Stasi or Securitate officers.
Anything may happen.
We have to sit and think, work out a strategy in the shortest possible way to achieve maximum effect. Otherwise it will be too late. So what should I say? My conclusion is not optimistic.
So far, despite the fact that we do have some anti-EU forces in almost every country, it is not enough.
We are losing and we are wasting time.

Vladimir Bukovsky, un disidente de 63 años originario de la ex Unión Soviética, exiliado en Gran Bretaña, teme que la Unión Europea esté en camino de convertirse en otra Unión Soviética.
En un discurso que dio en Bruselas la semana pasada (Febrero 2006), el Sr. Bukovsky, llamó a la UE un “mostruo” que debe ser destruido, cuanto antes mejor, antes de que se convierta en un estado totalitario por completo.
V. Bukovsky, junto a Paul Belien
Estos documentos confirmaban la existencia de una
“conspiración” para convertir la Unión Europea en una organización
socialista. La transcripción de parte de la entrevista puede ser leída abajo.
En 1976, los soviets le
expulsaron a Occidente.
Es una de las pocas personas que han visto estos documentos en formato físico porque aun están clasificados.
Empleando un escáner manual y
un computador laptop, logró copiar muchos documentos (algunos con alto nivel
de top secret) incluyendo informes de la KGB al gobierno soviético.
(Traducción Parcial - Versión completa en
el original)
Estos documentos muestran muy claramente que toda la
idea de convertir el
mercado común Europeo en un estado federal fue acordado
entre partidos de izquierda de Europa y Moscú como un proyecto conjunto que
el líder Mijail Gorbachev en 1988-1989 llamaba nuestra “casa Europea común -
common European home”.
Después de los social-demócratas alemanes. Todos ellos se quejaban de que los cambios en el mundo, particularmente después de que la Thatcher introdujera la privatización y liberización de la economía, estaban amenazando el logro (como lo llamaban) de generaciones de socialistas y socialdemócratas y amenazando con revertir los logros completamente.
Entonces, la única forma de mantener el
enfrentamiento con el capitalismo salvaje, (como lo llamaban) era introducir
los mismos objetivos socialistas en todos los países a la vez.
Entonces, la única forma de mantener el
enfrentamiento con el capitalismo salvaje, (como lo llamaban) era introducir
los mismos objetivos socialistas en todos los países a la vez.
Aparte de eso, son exactamente lo mismo, nadie les elige y no
dan cuentas ante nadie. Cuando miras a toda esta extraña actividad de la
Unión Europea con sus 80.000 páginas de regulaciones. Todo ello tiene el
mismo aspecto que
el Gosplan.
Exactamente lo
mismo ocurre en la UE. Cuando miras al tipo de corrupción en la UE, tienes
el mismo tipo de corrupción soviética, que va desde arriba abajo, en lugar
de ir de abajo arriba.
No hay KBG, no todavía, pero estoy estudiando muy de cerca a estructuras tales como el Europol.
Esto es algo que preocupa mucho porque esta organización probablemente tiene poderes superiores a los que tenía la KGB. Por ejemplo, tendrán inmunidad diplomática.
¿Puedes imaginar una KGB con inmunidad diplomática?.
No hay juzgado en la Tierra que defina esto como un “crimen” (Nota Belien: no es cierto porque Bélgica ya lo considera un crimen).
Así que es un nuevo
crimen y ya hemos sido alertados. Alguien en el gobierno británico nos dijo
que aquellos que objeten a una inmigración incontrolada del Tercer Mundo
serán mirados como racistas y aquellos que se opongan a la integración
europea en lo sucesivo serán mirados como xenófobos. Creo que Patricia
Hewitt lo dijo esto públicamente.
Mira cómo persiguen a gente como el pastor sueco que fue juzgado durante meses porque había dicho que la Biblia no aprueba la homosexualidad. Francia aprobó la misma ley sobre discurso de odio y el discurso religioso, etc. etc. Cuando observas, si lo tomas en perspectiva, es una introducción sistemática de ideología que podría más tarde ser aplicada con medidas opresivas.
Aparentemente este es el propósito final de la Europol.
De otro modo, ¿para qué lo necesitan?
Para
mi la Europol tiene un aspecto muy sospechoso. Estudio con mucha atención
quién es perseguido por ellos y qué ocurre. Porque es un campo en el que soy
experto. Se cómo florecen los Gulags.
¿Para qué lo
necesitan ahora mismo? Esto puede convertir una dictadura de tu país en poco
tiempo.
¿Quién va a defender nuestras libertades? Parece que nos están llevando a algún tipo de colapso, alguna suerte de crisis.
La consecuencia más probable es que haya un colapso económico en Europa que, al debido tiempo, va a ir aparejado como crecimiento de gastos e impuestos. La incapacidad de crear un ambiente competitivo, la sobre-regulación de la economía, la burocratización, todo ello va a llevar al colapso económico. Particularmente, la introducción del euro fue un idea absurda.
La moneda no tiene por qué ser política.
Mira el gran número de inmigrantes del Tercer Mundo que vive ya en Europa. Esto fue promovido directamente por la Unión Europea.
¿Qué ocurrirá si llega un colapso económico?
Probablemente tendremos, como en la URSS al final, tal enfrentamiento étnico que será imposible soportarlo. En ningún país hubo tal enfrentamiento étnico como en la Unión Soviética, excepto probablemente en Yugoslavia. Eso es exactamente lo que ocurrirá aquí. Tenemos que estar preparados para eso.
El enorme edificio de la burocracia va a colapsar encima
de nuestras cabezas.
Si mañana la mitad de la población británica rechaza pagarles impuestos, nada ocurrirá y nadie irá a la cárcel. Hoy todavía podemos hacer esto. Pero no sé cuál será la situación mañana con una Europol totalmente desplegada organizada por ex oficiales de la Stasi o la Securitate.
Cualquier cosa puede ocurrir.
Tenemos que sentarnos y pensar, trabajar una estrategia lo antes posible para conseguir el máximo efecto. De otro modo, será demasiado tarde. ¿Qué puedo deciros? Mi conclusión no es optimista.
Hasta ahora, a pesar del hecho de que tenemos algunas fuerzas anti-UE en casi cada país, no es suficiente.
Estamos
perdiendo y perdiendo el tiempo. |
