“My fellow Americans, I speak to you today as the bringer of
good news!
“As you may know, the British people are being asked to decide
on whether they wish the United
Kingdom to be part of the European Union.
Recently on a trip to the United
Kingdom , I urged the British people to vote
to remain in the European Union, as membership is, self-evidently I believe, in
their economic interests.
“Having now reflected long on the matter, and following the
principle that what is good for the goose
is also good for the gander, I have today signed a Presidential Order,
abolishing the United States of America, its constitution, Congress, the
Supreme Court, the US Civil Service and the Office of President of the United
States of America. This will take effect on January 1st 2017.
“On this date a new form of government, modelled on that of
Ancient Greece will come into effect, whereby the political elite, the free
people who think, will run the country, while you, the American people, the
slaves, will work. You will no longer need to worry about thinking – just get
on with the job of making and spending money, while we think and take decisions
on your behalf. You will of course have no say in any of this and no right,
through the ballot box, to call us to account.
“On January 1st 2017, the United States of America will
become the American Union. Congress
will be replaced by an American
Parliament, consisting of elected Members. This body will have very limited
powers and will be largely symbolic because its main purpose is to create an
impression of democracy.
“A new body called the Council
of State Governors will be formed. This body will meet from time to time in
Washington DC . One of its roles will be to appoint,
every five years, on an arbitrary basis, someone to be President of the American Commission, along with a group of people
who will be called American Commissioners,
who collectively will be called the College of Commissioners ,
or alternatively, the Central Committee
of the American Union.
“To ensure the arbitrariness of the appointments, every five
years the decision who will be President will be taken according to the
direction the wind is blowing from in Washington
DC on the Tuesday following the
first Monday in November. If the wind is coming from a Northerly direction a
Democratic President and Commission will be appointed which will bring some
warmth to the American Union. If the wind is blowing from a Southerly
direction, a Republican President and Commission will be appointed to bring a
chill to the Union .
The Supreme Court will be replaced by the American Courts of Justice, which will
have precedence over all State Legislatives and Courts.
The American civil service will be replaced by the body
called the American Commission who
will be a collection of bureaucrats and technocrats, to whom vast powers will
be delegated, which will enable them to pursue their own agendas within the
terms defined by a wide-ranging treaty. You, the people, will have no control
over this new body. They will, as they think fit, exert control over your life,
and you will just have to live with that!
“There will be no written constitution. This flexible
arrangement is convenient – for us!
“I think that you will agree that this system suits
everyone. In particular it suits the politicians who will serve on the Central Committee, for they will obtain
power without any need to stand for election, and they will not ever have to
explain themselves to you, the people, or to suffer the humiliation of being
rejected by you, when, as will be the case, they do the wrong things. Think of
this in a positive way – the enduring, unchanging nature of your government
will help to ensure economic stability; admittedly at the price of freedom and
democracy, but think of the self-evident economic benefits!
“I have now a few words of advice for the new appointee to
President. First, how to deal with State Governors who complain and criticise
and advocate more power being transferred to State level? All you need to do is
to brand them as popularists who are far too concerned with responding to the
wishes of the electorate than with the pursuit of the American Union Project. I refer you to the role model that is Jean-Claude
Juncker, the current appointed President of the European Commission, who
demonstrates breath-taking arrogance, and admirable contempt for the views of
the electorate – the people. Second, how to deal with the circumstances that
will eventually develop, when all your technocratic ideas start to fail and the
Union begins to disintegrate. Again I refer
you again to Juncker – create a bubble and disconnect yourself from reality,
and push for even more technocratic notions of a unity without the consent of
the people. This of course brings me to my final words of advice – always
undertake your far reaching constitutional changes without the consent of the
people, for you are a technocrat, a member of a political elite, and the views
of ordinary people and what they want must never be allowed to stand in the way
of your delusions of achieving a rebirth of the Roman Empire.
“It has been a great honour serving you as your last democratically
elected President. Don’t worry! Everything will be fine. Trust me on this, for
I am a Politician.
“God bless the American
Union.”
