Deutsche Welle, 12 October 2012
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has unanimously awarded the
European Union the Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts for peace, reconciliation,
and democracy over the past six decades.
Friday's announcement was considered a surprise to some, but
a Norwegian broadcaster had reported the announcement an hour before it was
officially made.
Making the announcement in Oslo, the head of the Nobel
Committee, Thorbjorn Jagland, said the European Union's efforts toward
"the advancement of peace and reconciliation, democracy and human rights
in Europe" since the end of World War II had earned the 27-nation bloc the
prize.
Jagland highlighted the reconciliation and continued good
relationship between Germany and France as a key point in the decision to
recognize the EU.
"Over a seventy-year period, Germany and France had
fought three wars," he said. "Today, war between Germany and France
is unthinkable."
Conditions of democracy placed on countries such as Greece,
Spain and Portugal before they were allowed to join the EU, and the
opportunities for EU membership afforded to Central and Eastern European
countries after the fall of the Berlin Wall, were also highlighted in the EU's
track record.
The committee also illustrated the EU's continued commitment
to democracy with the admission of Croatia as a member next year, and the
discussion of membership for Turkey, which "has also advanced democracy
and human rights in that country."
Martin Schulz, the president of the European Parliament,
said on Twitter that he was "deeply touched and honored" that the EU
had won the Nobel Peace Prize.

“… We told you there'd come a time on the planet
when there'd be only five currencies because the continents would decide to put
countries together, not separate them. Do you know who was the model? It's the
United States. What an experiment you had! Imagine: Could you take many
different states that were governed separately, yet didn't have any visible
borders, and give them one currency? It worked. It has worked for well over 100
years. Against all odds, it worked.
Fifty years
ago, with the end of the last world war, the Europeans saw what the USA did and
emulated it. It has become the European Union. After the war, they postulated,
"What if we took many of the countries of Europe, ones who have warred
with each other since the beginning of recorded civilization, and we unified
them? We will take away the borders and give them one currency." They
were laughed at! Yet today, you're seeing it.
Today,
their monetary system is more valuable than yours! Where am I going with this?
Listen - here is an attribute, a postulate, an axiom of this new earth energy:
Separatism kills. Unity is the survival of humanity. You will start putting
things together and not taking them apart. And the more you put them together,
the more you will unify. Then slowly you'll realize that the goal is to put
things together, not tear them apart. What has the European Union created? I'll
tell you. It isn't the Euro. It has created a group of countries that will
never go to war with each other again! They can't. They trade with each other.
Think about it. That's what we're talking about. …“
Europe
"... Let's talk
about Europe - Eastern and Western Europe. Look at the history. I want you to
look at the history of the Europeans. What do you know about them? What did you
study in school about them, American? You had to learn all those dates and
facts. You sit in a country that's barely 200 years old and you had to memorize
all the battles and all those conquerors and all those army specifics for
hundreds of years! Fourteen hundreds, 1300s - all the way to the present
century they seemed to be conquering each other on a regular basis. They warred
with each other like the tides of the ocean, constant and predictable. When
they got tired of that, they conquered other continents. The small country of
Spain alone is responsible for conquering all of South America, middle America
and well up into North America. Millions today are speaking their language who
never did before they arrived.
The armies
of Napoleon spread across parts of Europe like water flowing in a river,
conquering everything in its path. There are some cities today in Europe that
still don't know which country they belong to! This is because their borders
kept changing so often! Now, that's history. I want you to look at it
carefully. Still, there would be those who say, "This is just what men do.
They create borders and cultures and they go to war. That's Human nature."
Fifty years
ago, this new energy started to arrive. Oh, the alignments go slow, dear Human
Being, but it was here. It was starting; it was beginning. Fifty years ago,
something happened in Europe and you didn't hear much about it back then. Some
very clear thinkers got together after World War II and said, "If we don't
do something different and out of the box of today's thinking, it's all going
to happen again because this is what we do. Men make war." Even the young
country called America was involved in war. America itself almost split apart
before that, because that's what men do. They split good things apart. It was
obvious to these wise men that they could try something, something that might
work - a uniting instead of separation. And so they formed an idea. Let me tell
you what it was.
They said
to themselves, "What if we could get as many countries as we can to agree
to become a collection of 'country states'? If we start this now and go at it
slowly, we could eventually have a system where we would trade together to the
point where the borders come down, no checkpoints and no passports. All these
cultures and former enemy countries would all trade evenly together, and for that
to happen we might even have a common currency. Look at the United States, for
this is how it works there. Europe would never go to war with itself again. It
couldn't, since it would be allied financially."
Of course,
they were laughed at! Everyone who heard it said it couldn't' be done and that
there were just too many issues to solve. Those who objected said, "No,
no, no. That's not what we do. We have too many different cultures. There's
some with strong currencies, there's some with weak currencies. There are too
many objections. Imagine going from one country to another without being
inspected at the border? That won't work. Who are you to suggest something of
this nature?" And the forward thinkers said, "We are unifiers. And we
think it's a good idea so we will have strength and will never war again."
That was two generations ago, 50 years.
Today, you
have the European Union of States. There are more all the time, way past the
original number of countries. Some are "standing in line" to be
accepted! The borders are gone and the checkpoints are missing and the currency
called the Euro is the strongest currency on Earth - stronger even than yours
[the USA]. Now, let me tell you what did that. It's a consciousness shift that
even 50 years ago was developing. Through two generations, it slowly allowed
for free thinkers to unify things that had never been unified before. The
result? These countries will never conquer each other again, because
"history" ended at that moment. They started a new paradigm for Europe
and one that has no historic profile known to man. The old history of the area
is gone, and it will not repeat itself.
Those in
the old Eastern Bloc of Europe, where there is still to this day very little
unity, will still say, "History will again repeat itself. We are victims
of it. It's only a matter of time." But not all of them feel this way.
There are some who are starting to feel a unity of spirituality within their
own cultures that they were never allowed to speak of before. So they are free thinking,
out of the box of the old paradigm. It's new.
There are
those who are standing on podiums and in pulpits and are proclaiming,
"History is ended. It's the end of suffering. It's the end of
dictatorships. It's the end of those who would put us in a low place. Instead,
it's the beginning of discovering who we are." And although they don't say
it in these exact words, they are discovering the creator inside - that which
is the unity of God. So it's a full circle back to what the Angel told Muhammad,
isn't it? For unity was the key to peace, and still is. It is a sacred
principle and will never change.
Who would
have thought this would have happened? The United States is what it is because
200 years ago the founders said, "Let us make a group of state countries
without physical borders in a system that's never been tried. It's one of unity
- the UNITED States of America." Oh, it had its tests, but the unifiers
won. And it is why this country is what it is and is seen and respected for
what it is and for what it's done. So young, it is, but representing the new
energy, it is.
Your
Declaration of Independence was channelled. Did you know that? It was
collective effort channelling by those who had asked God for help. Go read it
and feel that which is sacred inside, for it unifies and does not separate. ..."
