#1  Don't think so - IMO iff the Pols desire to set uo so-called OWG "Global Federal Unions" aka Regional + Trans/Multi-Regional Govt widout having to involve the mainstream electorate [voters], then one way to do so would be to foster INTENTIONAL ANARCHY, MAYHEM + CHAOS FOR THE SAKE OF INDUC INTER-STATE(S) RELIANCE + DEPENDENCIES, I.E. "SIMPLE/BASIC" PERSONAL, NATIONAL SURVIVAL IN TIMES OF EXTREME + PROTRACTIVE HARDSHIP.

E.g. NAFTA-led NAU in 2015 or ASAP thereafter.

No need for popular referendums on whether the "will of the people" want or support OWG-NWO, let alone PRO-US-VS-ANTI-US OWG + NAU, ETC. DUE TO PROLONGED ECON TRAVAILS/PERILS.

No $$$, no jobs, GWCC, diasporas, + the threat of the [Nuclear]Global Jihad, Aztlan separatism, etc. = FASCISM-FOR-COMMUNISM, NATIONALISM-FOR-GLOBALISM, "PRIVATIZED" BIGGER OR MEGA-GOVT NOT
"PRIVATIZED" LESS OR SMALLER GOVT.

D *** NG IT, AMERIKA, ... STATE FARM IS THERE!

Demonstrators Break into Greek Defence Ministry
[An Nahar] More than 200 employees of a Greek shipyard on Thursday broke into the courtyard of the country's defense ministry in Athens to protest against non-payment of their wages, police said.

They broke down barriers at the entry and anti-riot forces were sent in half an hour later using clubs and gas to remove them. When they refused to leave they were cooled for a few years

en masse.

The chief of staff had earlier tried to speak to them but was shouted down with cries of "Thieves! Thieves!" television pictures showed.

Defense Minister Panos Panayotopoulos, who was at an official ceremony at the port of Piraeus as the incident began, let it be known he would meet the demonstrators on condition they left the ministry.

The protest briefly blocked traffic on the busy major thoroughfare on which the ministry is situated.

The demonstrators said they had not been paid for several months while their place of work, Hellenic Shipyards, at Skaramangas in the industrial suburbs of Piraeus, was threatened by bankruptcy.

It was sold in 2010 by its previous owners, the German industrial conglomerate ThyssenKrupp, to the Abu Dhabi Mar group, but has been operating at less than capacity for months as it depends on modernisation contracts from the Greek armed forces, which have been suspended or delayed by the country's financial crisis.

France Hits Foreign-Trained Extremists
[AFP] La Belle France on Wednesday presented plans for a new anti-terrorism law that will allow authorities to prosecute citizens who attend bad boy Islamist training camps abroad.

The move comes six months after Mohamed Merah, a French citizen who claimed to have attended Al-Qaeda-style training camps in Pakistain and Afghanistan, killed seven people in a wave of shootings in and around Toulouse
...lies on the banks of the River Garonne, half-way between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The Toulouse metropolitan area is the fourth-largest in La Belle France...
The plans were presented to cabinet on Wednesday and President Francois Hollande
...the Socialist president of La Belle France, and a fine job he's doing of it...
hopes parliament will adopt them by the end of the year, government spokesperson Najat Vallaud-Belkacem said.

"The terrorist threat remains at a very high level in La Belle France," she said.

The reforms will allow authorities to detect "the spread of radicalism or jihadism on the internet and to identify people returning to La Belle France after training or participating in terrorist actions" abroad.

The bill would amend La Belle France's criminal code to make terrorism-related crimes committed outside La Belle France punishable in the country.

Those attending training camps abroad could face up to 10 years in prison for "association with a terrorist enterprise".

The changes would also allow authorities to monitor the telecommunications data of the creators of thug websites.

French authorities have been criticised for failing to prevent Merah's attacks despite his links with foreign Islamists, which were known to intelligence services.

Merah rubbed out three Jewish schoolchildren, a rabbi and three paratroopers before being killed himself on 22 March following a 32-hour police siege of his flat in the southern city of Toulouse.
