This web page is put together to present
facts about Mr. Europe, Javier Solana. Why devote this page to him?
There are many things coming together from Bible prophecy in the
news. He is wearing all the hats that Bible prophecy talks about
the man of sin taking. He is consolidating power in the EU right
now and is working on the goal of bringing peace to the Middle East.
Of course these aren't the only reasons I've started watching Javier
Solana. Herb Peters and Constance Cumbey have been watching him
since the early 1990's and documenting his rise to power. You can

Javier
Solana's Family History from
Wikipedia This is the
earlier version of Javier Solana's biography, as it was at the Wikipedia
website before it was tampered with this last winter (2005).
Solana was born on July 14, 1942 as Javier Solana de Madariaga in
Madrid, Spain. On his maternal side, he is the grandson of famous
Spanish diplomat/writer Salvador de Madariaga (1886-1978). Salvador
de Madariaga at various times served as Spanish ambassador to the
United States and as chief of the Disarmament Section of the League
of Nations. He also had a teaching career at England's Oxford University.
Salvador de Madariaga was admiringly said to be one of the ten best
conversationalists in all of Europe in his day. His writing career
ranged from books about Christopher Columbus to analyses of what
he considered to be the growing Communist threat to Latin America.
Solana's maternal grandmother, Constance Archibald de Madariaga
was born Scottish. Like her diplomat-writer husband, she was also
a well known scholar. She was professionally and academically known
as an economic historian.
Javier is the younger of the two sons
of de Madariaga's daughter Nieves (1917-2003). Solana's mother,
like her more famous father, was also a recognized scholar and writer.
Her full name at the time of her death was Nieves Hayat de Madariaga
Mathews. She was employed for upwards of 20 years by the FAO (Food
and Agricultural Organization), a United Nations agency headquartered
in Rome. Her Yale University-published book on the life of Sir Francis
Bacon was released in 1996. The 606 page volume is entitled,
Francis Bacon: The History of a Character Assassination.[3]
Interestingly, Nieves de Madariaga Mathews (Solana's mother)
claimed in her acknowledgements that the book was suggested and
blessed by "my teacher, Osho, who thought highly of
Francis Bacon and gave
the book his blessing." Osho is more commonly known in USA
circles as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.[4]
Rajneesh gained extensive notoriety in the USA in the 1980s for
his alleged Oregon cult compound. He was deported from the USA for
its claimed excesses. As well as Rajneesh, Solana's mother was equally
deeply and publicly influenced by the works of Immanuel Velikovsky.
She devoted much time to her pursuit of both Velikovsky and Sir
Francis Bacon literacy and causes. Constance Cumbey
recently pointed out something valuable,
here.
Sometime after the commence
of what I term "the editing wars" on Wikipedia vis a vis, "the
good doctor" Javier Solana (he has a doctorate in physics),
a strange article was posted by the person known as "Squeakbox"
on Wikipedia. He rewrote history and claimed that Javier Solana's
mother was "the Obdulia Madariaga."
Above all, I wanted
to be accurate and not guilty of passing on false information.
I researched this "Obdulia Madariaga" and put the series of
articles I was doing on this blogspot on hold until I could
verify which was right. I went to Spanish stories and read that
Solana was the "nieto" meaning "grandson" of Salvador de Madariaga,
Nieves Mathew's father. Nieves' Italian language obituary included
information that during World War II she had been married with
two sons. It also revealed her to be a correspondent with
New Age activist
Fritjof Capra as well as her fascination with Sir
Francis Bacon and "the invisible college." I obtained
her Yale University published book and learned from her "Acknowledgments"
that Osho, better known to Americans, as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
had been her "teacher." Perhaps a better translation would be
"guru."
After doing my own checking, as to the Spanish
sources using the word "Nieto," I concluded that Salvador de
Madariaga was the grandpa and Nieves Mathews had to be mom.
I edited the article with the footnote that the Spanish source
"Cidob" used the word Nieto and they were positioned to know.
A few short months ago, I again noticed that Nieves Mathews
and Salvador de Madariaga had been distanced, again by Squeakbox,
as immediate family to Javier Solana and his elder brother,
Luis. This time, Squeakbox claimed his authority was the Spanish
organization CIDOB. I went over there and sure enough that was
what it was saying in an article sounding very much like the
writing style of Squeakbox who lives in a Latin American country
and has solid Spanish writing skills.
Well, today my
office was visited by an elderly gentleman who once heard me
speak and didn't have great computer skills. He wanted to view
information I had archived on Javier Solana. I was busy with
a client in my inner office, but I brought out my large notebook
binders of hard copied articles for him to peruse. Turning to
a few things that I thought would interest him, I was dumbfounded
to find my 2001 CIDOB archived articles. They clearly said,
both in Spanish and their English translations that Salvador
de Madariaga was Javier Solana's grandfather!
THE NIEVES DE MADARIAGA SOLANA MATHEWS MYSTERY SOLVED
Constance Cumbey
(January 26, 2008) - This is a
Spanish genealogy of Nieves Hayat de Madariaga, married twice:
the first time to Francisco Solana and the second time to N.
Mathews. Now we know there has been blatant historical revisionism
(much of it coming from "Squeakbox," shown in picture above)
of Javier's parentage and Salvador de Madariaga was indeed grandpa
and not "great uncle." It is my opinion that they were proud
of that parentage until they decided we would look at the deep
family occult connections (Nieves even reported she knew Krishnamurti,
the 1920s candidate for "Maitreya.") and put two and two together.
Now, I think I'll go finish that book, JAVIER SOLANA: MYSTERY
MAN OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER. This was the piece holding all up.
I did not want to misstate his parentage! -Constance E. Cumbey

I wonder why anyone would
want to re-write history to distance Javier Solana from Nieves
Mathews, who was into the New Age with a particular like for
Sir Francis Bacon?
Javier Solana's only maternal aunt is Isabel de Madariaga, a
professor emeritus of Slavonic Studies at the College of London.
A brilliant and thorough scholar, she has published extensive historical
works, most notably about Russian empress, Catherine the Great.
Javier Solana's older brother Luis Solana is a retired Spanish
telephone company chief executive officer; he was the first known
Socialist party member to join the Trilateral Commission.
He was ardently opposed to the Spanish presidency of General Franco
and was reportedly imprisoned for his political activity. Like his
older brother, Javier Solana, is an active member of the Trilateral
Commission. Although not eligible for membership as he is not an
American citizen, Javier Solana is a frequent speaker and enjoys
excellent relationships with members of the prestigious US based
Council on Foreign Relations Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)
He is likewise active with the Foreign Policy Association (FPA)
as well as the New York city based East West Institute.
On Solana's paternal side, his grandfather was Don Ezequiel Solana
de Ramirez. He was reportedly a revered educator and text book author
who died in 1931. Luis and Javier's father was Don Ezequiel Solana's
son Francisco Solana.
Solana studied at the
El Pilar College, an exclusive Catholic secondary school, before
going to
Complutense University (UCM). There as a student in 1963 he
was sanctioned by the authorities for having organised an opposition
forum at the so-called called Week of University Renovation. In
1964 he clandestinely joined the
Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), which had been illegal
under Franco since the end of the Spanish Civil War in 1939. In
the same year he graduated and then spent a year furthering his
studies at
Spain's Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) and in
the United Kingdom.
In 1965 he went to the United States of America,
where he spent six years studying at various universities on a Fulbright
Scholarship
[2]. He visited the
University of Chicago and the
University of California, San Diego, and then enrolled in the
Graduate School of Arts & Sciences of the
University of Virginia in Charlottesville. There, he taught
physics classes as a Teaching Assistant and carried on independent
research; he also joined in the protests against the Vietnam War
and was President of the Association of Foreign Students. He received
his doctorate in physics from Virginia with a thesis on Theory
of the Elementary Excitation Spectrum of
Superfluid
Helium: the Roton Lifetime , in 1971, extending his planned
stay in the US by a year in order to continue his research. Returning
to Spain he became a lecturer in
solid-state physics at the
Autonomous University of Madrid, UAM, and then in 1975 he became
a Professor at Complutense University. During these years he published
more than 30 articles. For a time he worked as assistant to
Nicolás Cabrera, whom he had met when Cabrera was Professor
at the University of Virginia. The last PhD dissertations that he
directed were in the early 1990s.
On returning to Spain in 1971 Solana joined the Democratic
Co-ordination of Madrid as the PSOE representative... He was made
Minister for Foreign Affairs on July 22, 1992, the day before the
opening of the II
Ibero-American conference of the heads of state in Madrid,
replacing the terminally ill
Francisco Fernández Ordóñez.
On November 27-28, 1995, while Spain held the
Presidency of the Council of the EU , Solana convened and chaired
the
Barcelona Conference. A treaty was achieved between the twenty-seven
nations in attendance with Solana gaining credit for what he called
"a process to foster cultural and economic unity in the Mediterranian
region".
On December 5, 1995, Solana became the new
Secretary-General of
NATO, replacing
Willy Claes who had been forced to resign in a corruption scandal.
His appointment created controversy as, in the past, he had been
an opponent of NATO. He had written a pamphlet called 50 Reasons
to say no to NATO, and had been on a US subversives list.
On March 24, <1998>, Solana launched air attacks on military
and civilian targets in Yugoslavia without authorization from
Security Council because of the opposition of veto-bearing Russia,
an historic Orthodox Slav ally of Serbia. He
justified the attacks on humanitarian grounds, and on the responsibility
of NATO to keep peace in Europe and to prevent ethnic cleansings
and genocide similar to the ones that
happened during the
Bosnian War (1992-1995).
After leaving NATO, Solana took
up a role in the
European Union. Earlier in the year, on the 1999-07-04ww, he
was appointed by the
Cologne European Council as Secretary-General of the
Council of the European Union. An administrative position but
it was decided that the Secretary-General would also be appointed
High Representative for the
Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). In this role he represented
the EU abroad where there was an agreed common policy. He took up
the post on 1999- 10-18, shortly after standing down from NATO.
The post has a budget of
€40 million, most of which goes to Balkan operations. From 25
November 1999-11-25 he was also appointed Secretary-General of
Western European Union (WEU), overseeing the transfer of responsibilities
from that organisation to the CFSP. In 2004 his 5 year mandate was
renewed. He has also become president of the
European Defence Agency.
In terms of personal habits,
Solana is said to eat little and sleep less, surviving on a diet
of organic fish and fruit. Recently, however, it is noted that he
has made media statements that he enjoys Peking Duck, so obviously
he departs from the fish and fruit regimen at times. Solana is a
gun collector, and enjoys studying military battles. General Wesley
Clark, a man who greatly admired and respected Solana, once asked
Solana the secret of his diplomatic success. Solana answered, "Make
no enemies, and never ask a question to which you do not know or
like the answer." He has been described as a "squarer of circles".
Solana is a Knight of the Order of St Michael and St George, a member
of the Spanish section of the Club of Rome, and has received the
Grand Cross of Isabel the Catholicin Spain . . . Solana has also
received the Manfred Wörner Medall of the Defense Minister in Germany.
The secret
of a powerful force: ILE
What Björn (farmer) Thinks
(February 4, 2008)
- ...In a short description about Solana,
the Spanish El-Pais writes, that during his flights Solana has always
with him his inseparable notebook. "More than 300 books of
chronological record his thoughts and proposals. All with a neatness
and enviable calligraphy. It is the life of the unknown Solana,
the airtight, who devours reports and keeps his secrets with extreme
zeal". I quote more from the article:
"The strategy is based on his travel intense preparation
off the ground. Numerous telephone contacts with his previous
partners, many of whom end up being his friends. "Solana is
a master at linking personal and professional relationships,"
says one of his former colleagues. But he is also demanding
to cruelty himself sometimes with impact until the pain also
with his closest collaborators, although some are faithful to
him twenty years.
Having reached the destination, he begins interviews with
his partners, which always end up with a constant question:
"How could we remain in touch?" A few days ago he left an astounded
Yang Jiechi, the Foreign Minister of China, who responded: "through
the official channels" "No, no," Solana insisted, "I want your
phone, your private email, we need to stay in touch."
Thus, tenacity has been built with a selected professional
staff with the most important actors in international politics.
In the midst of war in Lebanon last summer, the trip included
private meetings with the president of Lebanon, Fuad Siniora,
with Saad Hariri, son of assassinated former prime minister,
and Sabish Berri, close to the militia Hezbollah.
In Israel, had a lengthy meeting with the prime minister,
Ehud Olmert, and in the Palestinian territories with the president
of the Palestinian National Authority, Mahmoud Abbas. Always
go to everyone. It is the network Solana. The dense spider's
web of contacts leads to more unexpected levels.
He has become a frequent visiter of anniversary celebrations
of Magdeleine Albright, former secretary of State. He maintains
a very close relationship with Bill and
Hillary
Clinton and also visits frequently the former Secretary
of State
Henry
Kissinger. In Washington, however, has been his most
and least. During the mandate of the Secretary of State of Defense
Donald Rumsfeld he never put his feet in the Pentagon. Later,
with his deputy, Robert Gates, and Secretary of State Condoleezza
Rice, relations have improved considerably. His "UN man" was
the former secretary general Kofi Annan. In the Middle East,
Shimon Peres and Yasser Arafat disappeared, he was their guides.
In the EU, has maintained a special chemistry with the former
Swedish prime minister Göran Person. The Solana network also
covers Russia. The former Foreign chief Igor Ivanov is among
his closest friends and the president, Vladimir Putin, has already
led him to his dacha."
..."The arrival of democracy after the death of Franco in
1975, also put an end to his scientific career. The path of
a researcher who had begun following in the footsteps of his
father, a renowned professor of chemistry, was truncated to
surrender fully to politics. First as a deputy in the opposition.
Since 1982, he participated in all the governments of Gonzalez,
successively occupying the portfolios of Culture, Government
Spokesman, Education and Foreign Affairs. The experience also
led out Government corrections. Anyone who had been the author
of 50 reasons to say no to NATO, had to campaign in favour.
Foreign Policy demanded to redouble efforts to master the jargon
and to penetrate the elitist world of diplomacy. With His international
contacts he expanded his field of fire. The presidency of Spain
for the EU in July 1995, was a new lever to potenciarle in the
chancelleries of Europe.
The fortuitous opportunity came in November of that year
after the unexpected resignation of the secretary general of
NATO, Willy Claes, because of domestic corruption. The Minister
of Foreign Affairs of Germany Klaus Kinkel, his Italian counterpart,
Sussana Agnelli, and especially the British premier Tony Blair,
then took a gamble at him. The man next to Narcis Serra was
better placed to get Moncloa chosen. The decision took him and
Gonzalez together, thinking about what it would be relevant
to the national interest that a Spanish take command of NATO.
The final push came from the hand of Clinton, who was in Madrid
for a pact expressly with Gonzalez. Their training and Anglo-Saxon
liberalism that had absorbed part of his family formed at the
Institute of Freedom of Education (Instituto Libre de Enseñanza),
played much in their favor".
One interesting element, which I believe is a piece of the puzzle,
is centered around a man who in the 90's was the European Commission
President, Romano Prodi. At the time,
he was the most powerful man in Europe! Though I don't get much
into Jack Van Imp's Ministry.... it might be worth your time to
check this out:
It will bring up a HUGE database of the preparations that were made
to set Europe for what I believe was the rise of, Javier Solana.
His name means Romano
{the Roman One}
Prodi
{The Forerunner, Or The One That Goes Before}!!!
Romano Prodi was the one, the forerunner, who has come before,
Javier Solana, The Leader Of The Revived Roman Empire, and The Author
Of The 7-Year, Euro-Med Covenant which is expected to be confirmed
by Mr. Solana, by January 1, 2007!!!
Javier Solana is a busy guy. He's also VERY well networked in the
political arena. This section presents some of that information.
Solana is a Bilderberger!
He is also involved, though not a member, of the Trilateral Commission.
He is a member of the Spanish Chapter of the Club of
Rome
He has been a member of the Spanish socialist party PSOE since
1964. That was the year as well that he joined the "Socialist Youth."
In 1976, he represented the Socialists at an international Socialist
Congress held in the French province of Suresnes. He participated
in the same Congress held in 1977 in Spain. Solana was designated
secretary of Information and Press of the Federal Executive Commission
of the PSOE.
Education: Professionally, apart from his political careers,
Solana holds an undergraduate degree in chemistry (Received in Spain
in 1963), a Master's Degree obtained in Great Britain, and a doctorate
in physics; he is fond of saying that "in a previous incarnation
I worked as a professor in solid-state physics." He received his
doctorate in 1968 while studying at the University of Virginia under
a Fulbright Scholarship in the United States. He taught and worked
as a researcher at the University of Virginia between 1968 and 1971.
Solana left the USA in 1971 to return to Spain with one of his teaching
mentors. There he became employed by Complutense University of Madrid,
Spain. Again, he was banished for political reasons, i.e. opposition
to the Franco government. In 1975 his political nemesis, Generalissimo
Francisco Franco died. Thereupon Solana, expelled in his youth for
anti-Franco rebellion, gained a Complutense University professorship.
That year, also, he involved himself in Spanish political life.
As a representative of a teacher's union, he ran and won election
as the Socialist candidate for the parliamentary seat he was to
begin occupying in July 1977.
Solana is a busy man. He is also VERY powerful. Not only that, but
he is currently an invaluable asset to the European Union. He's
been given the title of "Mr. Europe" because if political leaders
want to call Europe, he's the man they call. He's been working toward
this position for some time now.
Between 1982 and 1995 he held
powerful positions in the Spanish government including that of the
Minister for Culture, Minister of Science and Education and lastly
as Minister for Foreign Affairs (1992-1995). For most of those years
he was also the official spokesman for the Spanish government. When
it was Spain's turn to hold the rotating chairmanships/presidencies
of the Council of the European Union and the Western European Union,
Solana was designated by Spain to head those posts. Those dual posts
would coincide in 1995.
On November 20, 1995, during Spain's
turn at the rotating six month presidency of the European Union,
Javier Solana concluded a treaty between the European Union and
Israel. This section is meant to track his political career starting
in 1995. Why 1995?
Daniel 9:27 speaks of the confirmation
of a covenant with many. In 1995, the Euro-Med agreement, also known
as the Barcelona Process, was signed between many nations including
Israel. The European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) went into effect
January 1, 2007 and according to Javier Solana it "breathes new
life" to the Barcelona Process of 1995. It confirms the covenant
with many. What's more fascinating is that the ENP is 7 years (January
1, 2007 - December 31, 2013) with a mid-term review in 2010!
Secretary-General of NATO
November 30, 1995 - October
1999
On November 30, 1995, Solana was appointed
as NATO Secretary General. His election was a surprise to
many, including 52 United States congressmen who telegraphically
protested his appointment because of his alleged Marxism
and open Castro sympathies. He had once been on the USA's
own subversive list. He was best known, per the Spanish
newspapers observing the scene, as one of Spain's most vocal
and most prominent opponents of NATO. He had once written
a pamphlet, "50 Reasons to say NO to NATO." Between 1995
and 1999, Solana was NATO Secretary General. Solana's NATO
term was to have expired in December, 1999; however, he
left that job two months early, in October 1999, to take
the newly created position of Office of the High Representative
of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (also more informally
called "Señor PESC" ("Mr. PESC", in Spanish media)- Post
of European Security Commissioner). He was also given the
title and responsibility of Secretary General of the European
Union; this was for the purpose of giving continuity between
the EU's 6 month rotating presidential administrations.
These positions caused Solana to be generally described
by the European press as "tsar of European military and
foreign policy." The Secretary General of NATO usually has
a ministerial role, passing on instructions from the member
nations' consensus to its military components, but during
his 1995 to 1999 NATO tenure, Solana was given sole unusual
powers to make military decisions over Yugoslavia. For
example, on January 30, 1999, he was given sole power to
make all further military decisions over NATO Balkan operations.
This included the say so on whether or not bombings should
occur. Madeline Albright, USA Secretary of State then said
by way of explanation, "Solana has the power and has had
it since January 30, 1999. We are speaking with one voice
through Javier Solana.", and on March 21, 1999, USA President
Bill Clinton told a national American television audience
in regards to the forthcoming bombings: "I agree with Javier
Solana's decision to do this." The order to commence bombing
against Yugoslavian targets was subsequently given solely
by Solana. USA General Wesley Clark, who as head military
officer of the NATO coalition reported to and took orders
from Solana, reports in his book WAGING MODERN WAR that
he once asked Solana the secret of his success. Solana reflected
briefly and then answered, "First make no enemies. Then
never ask a question to which you do not know or do not
like the answer." Despite his activity in world
politics, most Americans are unfamiliar with Solana's name,
the Barcelona Process, and certainly the extent of his growing
powers which are becoming increasingly global in scope and
influence.
Euro-Med Partnership for Peace
November 27-28, 1995
("Covenant with many" including Germany, Algeria,
Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Egypt, Spain, Finland, France,
Greece, Ireland, Israel)
Javier Solana did most or even all of
the spearheading and coordination of the Barcelona Conference,
the launching pad of the 27 nation Barcelona Process expected
to lead to a Mediterranean free trade zone by 2010. This
conference was opened by him on November 27, 1995. He opened
by declaring that it was auspicious that it began on the
900th anniversary of the calling of the first crusade by
Pope Urban II, and commented "What a lot of intolerance
and misunderstanding that led to." The conference concluded
with the 27 nations signing the Barcelona Treaty.

Javier Solana Secretary-General
of WEUNovember 20, 1999
On November 20, 1999,
Javier Solana was also selected by the ten-nation core
of the Western European Union (WEU) to be its pending
Secretary General, pending unification with the European
Union. However, on June 5, 2000, the ten nation WEU
in its Assembly Recommendation 666 noted that under
its governing treaties, complete merger could not occur,
and therefore they support a proposal to have the WEU
Secretary General and CFSP High Representative (both
Solana) preside over the PSC (Political Security Committee)
and convene the council of the European Union in the
event of an emergency. (Such an emergency was declared
after the 3/11 (March 11, 2004) Madrid train bombings.)
This appointment came on the same day as major world
leaders were gathering at deceased British author Sir
Harold Acton's old Italian villa then and now owned
by New York University's School of Law. The gathering
was of the Third Way Movement. Solana was in attendance
at the villa as were U.S. President and Mrs. Clinton,
British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Romano Prodi and
many other distinguished transatlantic leaders. Javier
Solana presides over Europe's Political Security Committee
(PSC). All seated on that committee hold ambassador
rank in the EU and serve at the pleasure of Javier Solana.

December 1998
"666. In December the Vienna
European Council expressed the opinion that the Secretary-General
of the Council and High Representative for the CFSP
should be appointed as soon as possible and be a
personality with a strong political profile.
It invited the Council to prepare common strategies
on Russia, Ukraine, and the Mediterranean region
and the Western Balklands, on the understanding that
the first would be on Russia. Welcoming the new impetus
given to the debate on a common European policy on security
and defence, the European Council also notes that the
CFSP should be backed by credible operational capabilities."
Council of the European
Union Selects Javier Solana as first Foreign Minister under
the new EU Constitution
June 29, 2004
Until formal ratification of the constitution
occurs (slated for 2006), Solana is de facto exercising
the defined powers of that future office as well as its
approximate 26 billion euros budget (formerly reserved for
the Commissioner of External Affairs). Solana now speaks
and travels as the sole voice rather than one of three voices.
This was dramatically illustrated by events in Israel on
or about July 20 to 22nd (2004). Israel's Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon declined to meet with Solana, saying that because
of an EU vote against Israel at the UN that Israel would
not work with the EU, notwithstanding despite its prominence
on the Quartet for Peace in the Middle East. Solana stunned
the world, Israel included, by replying that like it or
not, both he and the EU were there to stay on the Israeli-Palestinian
decision making processes. The Clinton White House once
announced in a press conference that Javier Solana was the
fulfillment of Henry Kissinger's long stated wish to have
only one phone number to ring up for Europe. Post June 29,
2004, many other sources were making the same observation
-- that Kissinger (and anybody else) could ring up Europe
by calling only Javier Solana.
Summary of Remarks by Javier
Solana July 1, 2004
"Once ratified, this Constitution
will introduce a number of important changes in the area
of foreign policy, including the creation of a Foreign
Minister to replace the rotating Presidency system."
France and Netherlands rejected Constitution in 2005.
This has now become the
Treaty of Lisbon.
Constitution of Rome Signed

Solana assists Britain,
France, and Germany in negotiating a nuclear material enrichment
freeze with the leadership of Iran
November, 2004
The EU through Solana stated it hoped
to avoid another American-Iraqi style invasion through this
and future negotiations. Others, particularly in the USA
and England were more cynical about the motives. Rather
than believe them altruistic, some British observers starting
in the late 1990s stated that perhaps the EU's motives,
engineered through Solana, were to dislodge the USA as a
competing superpower in the coming 21st century struggle
for increasingly scarce global resources. They pointed to
the EU's own military buildup under the auspices of "peacekeeping"
as perhaps a cover for planned future anti-USA efforts.
The European Defence Agency is an agency
of the European Union and therefore under the direction
and authority of the Council, which issues guidelines to
and receives reports from High Representative Javier Solana
as Head of the Agency. Detailed control and guidance, however,
is the job of the Steering Board. Solana chairs the Steering
Board, the principal decision-making body of the Agency,
made up of Defence Ministers from 26 participating Member
States (all EU members except Denmark) and a member of the
European Commission. In addition to ministerial meetings
at least twice a year, the Steering Board also meets at
the level of national armaments directors, national research
directors, national capability planners and policy directors.
From 2007 the presidency will
be triple-shared for periods
of 1.5 years with one of the three countries assuming "leading
role" during each half-year. This
change was made so that the new member states get sooner
to holding a presidency, but at the same time the triplets
are arranged so, that in each of them there are both new
and old member states - this way it is assumed that the
old member states will pass their experience to the co-presidency
new-members. It is also assumed that 1.5 year presidencies
(even triple-shared) will be better at accomplishing policies,
because the main agenda items will not be changed each half-year,
but each 1.5 years (each three states will execute a common
program). The table below was agreed in 2004 with the assumption
that
Bulgaria
and
Romania will
become member states (their turns are in 2018 and 2019,
so it is not important if their membership is delayed a
little after 2007).
France Keen to Boost Power of EU
(February 27, 2006)
The ideas, which will be put forward
by the French President, Jacques Chirac, at summits in March
and June, will be possible without new legal powers.
They include moves to reinforce the
role of Javier Solana, the EU's foreign policy chief.
Mr. Solana would have gained new
powers and the title "EU foreign minister"
had the EU constitution come into effect.
Senior French officials believe that
his role can be enhanced without the
constitutional treaty, and that he can be given greater
backing to promote the EU.
As stated above
however, Solana now speaks and travels as the sole voice
rather than one of three voices. If he is to fulfill
the prophecies of the man of sin who will declare himself
god in the rebuilt Jewish temple, he will act as the
sole voice over the other leaders. And if he can pull
off peace in the Middle East, I'm sure all the leaders
will be more than happy to give their power to the beast.
They already have given him much power. How much more
will he get with signs and lying wonders?
Countering globalisation’s dark side
Europe's World:
by Javier Solana (Autumn, 2007)
- Europe's key task in the first half of
this century, says Javier Solana, will be to help create a new system
of global governance that can resolve the growing frictions in our
increasingly inter-dependent world
When the European Union celebrated its 50th birthday
earlier this year it also marked a half-century that has seen Europe
transformed. This continent so long plagued by wars and confrontation
has developed into a community of peace, democracy and prosperity.
That we have stopped killing each other and starting to work together
did not happen by itself. We built strong institutions and a community
of law to make the integration process withstand the ebb and flow
of political moods and personality clashes. We learned the hard
way that peace and stability require common rules and institutions,
non-stop negotiations and a sense of compromise.
We haven't abolished nation states or their sovereignty,
but we have changed their nature. Sovereignty is no longer expressed
by an army at the frontier but by a seat at the table. These successes
are worth cherishing, yet there is a great deal more to be done.
The peaceful unification of our continent has been our great achievement,
and now our main challenge is to act as a credible force for good.
From a continental agenda, we should move to a global agenda.
From building peace in Europe to being a peace-builder in the world.
With respect to Europe's global role, there is
much that we have already achieved. Instead of just sending out
a communiqué two weeks after a crisis we have expanded our capacity
to respond to crises in real time. We have developed sophisticated
crisis management concepts that bring together civilian and military
instruments. We have forged a common strategic culture that
enables us to respond early, rapidly and where necessary, robustly
when a new crisis erupts. In short, there is a European way of looking
at international problems and a shared doctrine on how to resolve
them.
In the years ahead, we will have sharpened our
crisis management performance in a more demanding security environment.
But beyond crisis-management we will also have to devote time, energy
and resources to addressing longer-term challenges. Perhaps the
most important of these will be to safeguard the capacity of the
global system. If truth be told, the global system is in a poor
shape. What we are seeing is a growing mismatch between our security
and economics, which are increasingly global in nature, and our
politics which often remain national.
Few today would
dispute that in a global, interdependent world, solutions to problems
have to be forged at a global level. But the gap between this demand
for 'global governance' and its supply is growing. Instead the multilateral
system is under severe stress. Some of the old regimes on issues
like nuclear non-proliferation are suffering from polarisation and
distrust. On some of the new issues, such as cyber-crime or new
forms of terrorism, attempts to build regimes, rules and institutions
are still incomplete.
A key task for Europe for the next
50 years is therefore to protect and develop a system of strong
institutions able to tackle the problems of a new age and
to progressively build a rules-based international order.
We will have to do so at a time when the world is moving to a system
of continents. Hence, Europeans will only be able to project and
protect their interests if they are united.
Global governance
is an awful term but a vital concept. We need it because of a simple
reality: interdependence. We live in a world where people, goods,
ideas, money, threats and opportunities move at a global level and
at increasing speed. What happens half-way round the world, in Afghanistan,
Gaza or the Democratic Republic of Congo affects our own security
and prosperity. Globalisation offers millions of people a chance
to live longer, healthier and better lives. But it has also unleashed
forces that governments can neither control nor stop.
We
are all familiar with the list: terrorism, nuclear weapons' proliferation,
climate change, poverty, pandemics, failing states. None can be
solved by a single government acting alone. So the question is:
how do we organise this globalised world? And especially how do
we tackle the dark side of globalisation?
On the whole,
our capacity to analyse problems is good. But even when we agree
on what has to happen − take Israel-Palestine or Sudan/Darfur −
we still don't manage to translate that consensus into results on
the ground. It is worth analysing why this is so. For that it is
necessary to first explore how what we call "the international system",
came about.
After the failure of the League of Nations
and the horrors of World War II people were ready to try something
new. The multilateral system built after 1945 was revolutionary
in design. Its organising principle was that peace would be ensured
through co-operation based on rules. This was something new. For
centuries, international order had been maintained through a combination
of the balance of power and empires. For periods this worked, although
never for long and always at great costs.
After 1945, we
instead built a system based on rules and strong institution. Of
course, power, national interests and international rivalry had
not been abolished. That would have been naïve and unworkable. But
the defence of national interests was channelled through institutions.
And the management of rivalries was made subject to written and
unwritten rules.
The US played the leading role in shaping
the system, and to do so was a deliberate and far-sighted choice.
It is striking that Dean Acheson's memoirs are called "Present at
the Creation". The US underwrote the system but agreed to be bound
by it too.
Over time, the multilateral system developed,
extending its functional scope and geographic reach. In Europe,
a successful sub-system emerged with the Coal and Steel Community
and later the European Economic Community. Most striking
here were the supra-national aspects. These demonstrated that the
Europeans were willing in carefully defined areas, to go beyond
the pure inter-state paradigm.
It is almost impossible to
exaggerate how important this start of the integration process has
been − both for Europe but also the history of international relations.
All in all, this post-1945 international order worked very well.
It helped to prevent the cold war from degenerating into a global
war; and it promoted the political and economic integration of the
West. But today the international system is creaking because the
world it was built for is no more. There are several reasons for
this.
First, new problems have been emerging that the
system was not meant to address. In the 19th century, the problems
that industrialisation brought about were solved through a series
of state interventions: from safety standards to sewage systems
to banning child labour.
We now have to ask ourselves: what structures,
beyond the state, do we possess that can help resolve the big problems
of our times? We are dealing with complex security challenges that
defy traditional ways of operating, ranging from global warming
to "new identity politics" to cyber-crime.
We also have to see the connections between different
threats. In many ways, the Darfur conflict is the first time we
have been made aware that a war is caused by climate change − and
it will not be the last. So we need more integrated strategies to
address these problems. In the old system, everyone was doing their
own thing in their own corner. We now know that we must bring together
the different worlds of soldiers, diplomats, judges and development
experts.
More fundamentally, the system is not working because
power is shifting within our political systems: to the media, to
markets and above all to individuals. Gone are the days that governments,
and with them political elites, could set the agenda and by themselves
deliver the solutions.
These days, there is less obedience.
Who wants to be a follower if you are constantly told you can be
what you want to be? It is striking that in Britain, the slogan
for the recruitment for the army has changed from "Your country
needs You" to "Be all you can be".
Power is also shifting
between political systems: ebbing away from the West to new powers
like China, India, Brazil, South Africa. It has almost become a
cliché to point to the emergence of new political centres of power.
And finally, from the US we have seen a tendency to make
its engagement in the multilateral system more selective. In recent
years, the US has been more narrowly focused on short-term priorities
and less willing to seek deeper trade-offs with other countries.
What are we to do? The first requirement of a more effective
global governance is that the US should play an active and constructive
role inside the system. I have a sense that in the US the
tide is turning in favour of those who argue that working through
multilateral organisations is the best way to get lasting results.
More broadly, we need to make space at the top table. Take
the G-8. At present it does not really work effectively. If it is
to become more effective it needs to be more representative, and
that means changing its membership.
Why not make it a G-10
in which the ten major countries are represented based on a composite
index of international weight (GDP, aid, soldiers and civilians
deployed on peace support missions)? This would not only bring China
and India in but also keep some current members on their toes...
Equally, we should make space at the UN Security Council
for the new heavyweights. In turn, the new powers should keep in
mind that with greater global influence comes greater responsibilities.
And to strengthen regional co-operation, could we at some point
in the future have (semi)-permanent seats at the UNSC for Great
Powers and regional organisations?
I am convinced that we
need stronger regional organisations: the African Union, ASEAN and
various Latin American structures. I also wonder whether the Middle
East region will remain the big exception: over-armed, under-institutionalised
and rife with tensions.
Then we will need to develop new
bargains, balancing the interests of all relevant stakeholders.
Good examples are the environment and climate change. Or on forms
of dialogues between cultures.
Sometimes we also need to
be more serious about upholding our side of the old bargain. Take
non-proliferation. If we want to be credible on preventing the spread
of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), we have to take the disarmament
side and technology transfer sides of the bargain more seriously.
In addition, the multilateral system should not only address
our immediate concerns. When we talk about non-proliferation we
mostly mean WMD. But for many African or Asian leaders the most
urgent proliferation problem is that of small arms and light weapons.
Above all, we must re-learn that the biggest shift in
history came when we extended the rule of law. First within states
and now, gradually, between them. This gradual extension of
the international rule of law has provided enormous benefits: taming
the passions of states but also providing a legal framework to guide
and regulate many cross-border activities. We should step up what
we are already doing both regionally and in Europe, but also globally
on such aspects of international life as the WTO's dispute settlement
system or the International Criminal Court. We have to extend both
the geographic and functional reach of the international legal system.
To organise our increasingly globalised world, we in
the West need to share power with new players, re-think power beyond
the state paradigm and tame power by extending the rule of law internationally.
And along with making the system of global governance more effective,
we also need to make it more legitimate.
One big problem
is that we all know that we live in a globalised world, but our
politics remain local or national. This is a problem for those,
like me, who are convinced that the world needs more global-level,
multilateral co-operation. For I am also a democrat in believing
that power has to be accountable. So the question becomes: how do
you make global governance more effective while making it also democratically
accountable?
A key benefit of acting multilaterally is legitimacy,
which in turns enhances effectiveness. Once again, this means bringing
in new centres of power. But legitimacy also means bringing our
publics along. If decisions are increasingly taken at the international
level, people have to see these as legitimate.
We therefore
have two imperatives: to create greater effectiveness in global
governance but also to uphold democratic legitimacy. To do so will
be difficult as it requires new ideas and a sense of compromise.
But I really see no real alternative.
What we are talking
about is a global social contract, and some 250 year ago the French
"enlightenment" philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau got it right in
his toweringly influential work "The Social Contract", in which
he wrote: "The strongest is never strong enough to be always
the master, unless he transforms strength into right and obedience
into duty."
Solana Considers One EU Seat in UN Solution to Divisions
Global Policy Forum
(March 24, 2003) -In an interview with Die Welt, the EU's
high representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy, Javier
Solana, offers some suggestions for how the current crisis in Europe
could be avoided in the future. One of the main ideas would be for
the EU to be represented by one set in the UN. In an interview
with Die Welt, the EU's high representative for Common Foreign and
Security Policy, Javier Solana, offers some suggestions for how
the current crisis in the European Union could be avoided in the
future. A "possible cause" for the rift between the EU fifteen is
the fact that the EU is not represented by one seat in the United
Nations Security Council. "The EU is not represented by one seat
in the United Nations. But the problems were created in the United
Nations." He noted the differences of opinion ran exactly between
the four members of the Security Council - the UK and France (as
permanent members) and Spain and Germany (as non-permanent members).
"Imagine what influence Europe could have had if it had spoken
with one voice?" asked Mr. Solana. Speaking with one voice is
not just something for the Union in the UN but for "the EU as a
whole." According to the Treaty of European Union, all EU member
states have an obligation to refrain from doing anything that goes
against a common position in foreign policy. "It is regrettable
that precisely this was not followed by some member states," said
the EU's foreign policy chief.
Weak Europe not in America's interest
Mr Solana believes that a weak Europe is not in
America's interest. The big challenges in world politics are usually
for both the USA and the EU, he says. "Of course, Europe should
invest more in its military capabilities, I have said that for years.
But the USA is the number one and we do not have these strengths."
Europe's strengths lie with international investment, development
aid and trade.
The Power of Solana
The 70th Week
(January 28, 2008) - Curt Here... I came across a
couple of interesting articles recently and when read together I
think we can get some pretty good insight as to what is going on
in the Middle East peace negotiations. The first one was published
yesterday and talks about how Javier Solana is frustrated with the
fact that both parties are not really acting like they are very
serious about peace. Israel has a blockade against the Palestinians
living in the Gaza Strip and Hamas keeps firing rockets at Israel.
The message from Solana was obvious, stop with your petty squabbling
and get back to work towards fulfilling your commitments you made
at Annapolis. When I first read this yesterday, I wondered if this
had any chance of working. Can Solana simply make a few phone calls
and make a few interesting quotes to a newspaper reporter and get
real results? I know Solana has some serious political clout but,
still I was a little more than skeptical. Then I read another article
this morning that answered my question immediately. Both sides have
miraculously agreed to comply with the requests of Javier Solana.
They then renewed their commitment to the peace process and announced
that they hope to have a final peace deal in place before US Presidential
elections in November. What was I thinking?
Solana: Gaza blockade should
be eased and Hamas has to stop rocket attacksUpdated: 24/Jan/2008 23:46 BRUSSELS (EJP)---The
European Union's foreign policy chief Javier Solana has called
"urgently" for the blockade on the Gaza Strip to be eased in
order to allow humanitarian aid to reach the Palestinian people.
In a phone conversation with Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday, Solana said that the EU was deeply
concerned at the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza.
The EU top diplomat also said that Hamas had “to stop
the rocket attacks across the border which endanger the lives
of innocent civilians in Israel.” Solana added that
the EU would continue to follow the situation in Gaza and on
the Gaza border very closely and that he would keep in contact
with the Palestinian President as well as other leaders in the
region, including the Arabe League Secretary-General, Amr Moussa.
The European Union urged the parties
to the Middle East peace talks "to do their utmost to meet the
commitments they made at the Annapolis Conference" and "to advance
on the path to a negotiated settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict that was set out in Annapolis."
Israeli, Palestinian leaders renew commitments
to peaceDAVOS, Switzerland, Jan. 24 (Xinhua)
-- Israeli and Palestinian leaders
reaffirmed here Thursday their commitments to the Annapolis
peace process, with Israel urging the Palestinians to do more
to rein in extremists, and the Palestinian side demanding easing
of closure of the Gaza Strip. "Both sides are
convinced that war is not the choice" Israeli President Shimon
Peres told a session at the ongoing World Economic Forum (WEF)
Annual Meeting. "We have got a partner of peace in the Palestinians."
"The majority of the Palestinians are sincerely in favor of
peace. We trust them full-heartedly. They are sincerely trying
to achieve peace (with Israel) as soon as possible," Peres told
the session under the theme of "Mideast: after Annapolis, after
Paris" chaired by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair,
the envoy of the Mideast Quartet. Peres said the Israeli-Palestinian
peace process is now on two tracks: to solve the conflict, and
negotiate the peace. Peres said
the next 10 months are crucial for the peace talks, adding the
hopes of a truce peace are "greater today." Israel and the Palestinians
hope to finalize the peace talks before the U.S. presidential
elections in November this year. The five-day
Davos annual event, which opened Wednesday, has provided a good
opportunity for Israeli and Palestinian leaders to talk face
to face. Participants to Thursday's session also included Palestinian
Authority (PA) Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, Israeli Foreign
Minister Tzipi Livni and Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
"We cannot afford a failure, we need success," said Livni. To
achieve peace, both sides must make reconciliation and compromises,
she said, adding that two states for two peoples is the only
way out for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Meanwhile, she
urged the PA to rein in extremists who are undermining the peace
process, "we cannot afford an extremists' state." In his turn,
Fayyad renewed the PA's commitments to the peace process, saying
"we are determined to stay on the course." While stressing that
the Palestinians took seriously Israel's security concerns,
he also urged Israel to further ease the closure on the Gaza
Strip, where the situation on the ground was "very dangerous."
The closure by Israel had led to misery for the Palestinians,
he said. In response to a sustained and intense barrage of rocket
fire, Israel blocked Gaza and stopped all shipments except emergency
supplies last week. Experts have warned that the Annapolis peace
process could implode if something was not done quickly to address
the Gazans' plight. Tens of thousands of Gazans have rushed
into Egypt to search for food and supplies since Hamas militants
blew 15 holes in a security fence separating the Gaza Strip
and Egypt on Wednesday. Officials
from the United Nations have called for an end to Israel's blockade
of the Gaza Strip. The 15-member U.N. Security Council is to
meet Thursday to discuss a draft statement urging an end to
Israel's siege of the Gaza Strip and to rocket firing into the
Jewish state from the strip.
Herb Peters questioned if it is
an accident, given the rumors of Solana leaving back in October,
that Europe is so desperately calling for the creation of the Foreign
Minister position he would fill? It seems to the European leaders
like their whole world is starting to crumble without a "Mr. Europe."
Is Solana making a power play? And will we see the European leaders
give their power to him?
Speculation mounts over Solana leaving jobEUobserver
(October 2006)
- Speculation is mounting that Javier Solana, the EU's top diplomat,
will step down for health reasons with the former Swedish, Slovak
and Austrian prime ministers reportedly first in line to succeed
him. Intense rumors about an end to the Solana era have been
circulating in Brussels for the last couple of weeks, with several
reasons being cited for his possible imminent retirement. One
version says it became clear to the Spaniard during the Lebanon
crisis in the summer that he could never really act on behalf
of the EU, with member states refusing to give him a clear mandate.
Mr. Solana also had to recently admit that his efforts to get
Iran to halt uranium enrichment - which he had exceptionally
handled on behalf of all UN veto powers - have stalled. On top
of this, the deadlock on the EU constitution means that Mr.
Solana will not get the job as official EU foreign minister
– foreseen for November in the shelved charter. Highly-skilled
diplomat Generally, the Spanish socialist is seen as a highly
skilled diplomat who has managed to survive seven years in the
grueling position without facing much political flak. He is
seen as at least having given a positive face to EU foreign
policy - despite the domain being still very much in member
state hands. But Austrian paper Der Kurier on Wednesday (18
October) reported that the 64-year old Mr. Solana could nevertheless
soon step down - for health reasons. German chancellor Angela
Merkel reportedly had a long phone call with the Spaniard last
week in which he said he would follow his doctor's advice and
soon quit the job, otherwise "he would be dead in twelve months"
- even if this is not visible in his appearance and in his statements.
A press officer in Mr. Solana's office however denied the report
saying "there was not such a phone call." "Mr. Solana's mandate
expires in 2009 and his post is not available," she stated,
adding that the Spanish diplomat jogs every day before work.

Merkel calls for EU constitution by 2009Seattle PI
(January 17, 2007)
- German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday outlined an ambitious
program for her country's European Union presidency, saying
the bloc must set a timetable for adopting an EU constitution.
Merkel told EU lawmakers during her first appearance at the
EU assembly that a decision on what to do with the constitution
must be reached by June. The constitution was ratified by 18
states but rejected in Dutch and French referendums in 2005.
Merkel said she would consult all 27 EU nations to hear their
reservations about the landmark charter and to determine which
parts can be rescued to form the basis of a new document. Germany
wants to save as much as possible of the draft text, which was
designed to accelerate policy-making and give the EU, now with
489 million people, more visibility on the world stage by creating
the posts of EU president and foreign minister. "We need
a foreign minister for Europe. That's enough of a reason to
adopt a constitutional treaty," Merkel told the European
Parliament, earning a standing ovation. "We must give
a soul to Europe; we have to find Europe's soul. Any failure
could be a historic failure." more...
The advantage of de facto power is deniability. Where there's legal
power, it's an easy paper trail to those responsible. But where
there's de facto power, no such trail exists. The power, however,
is just as real. And although legal power can be learned in school,
de facto power is best learned in the streets.
This brings us to why I believe God's people are failing to see
what's occurring. While they're waiting for the the legal framework
for the coming Antichrist to appear, the de facto framework may
already be here.
Former German president Roman Herzog is warning that Germany's
democracy is threatened by the de facto power being exercised by
Brussels. Herzog is reported saying, "EU policies suffer to an alarming
degree from a lack of democracy and a de facto suspension of the
separation of powers." He also says, " By far the biggest part of
the current laws in Germany are agreed by the council of ministers
[member states representation in Brussels] and not the German parliament"
Read about
it here.
As I've been reporting, the EU's true seat of power is the Council
of Ministers. This is where the EU's 27 member states exercise their
power over the Union. And, when their legal powers fail -- which
is quite often, their de facto powers kick in.
For example, the EU member states have created a de facto, super
Foreign Minister post for their High Representative, Javier Solana.
When the EU's constitution failed -- and the legal route was no
longer available -- the de facto route was taken. As of January
1, 2007, Solana has his de facto seat within the Commission -- from
where he can oversee his New European Neighborhood Policy.
Solana's Middle East EU mandate, however, is not de facto --
it's legal. That was necessary in order for Solana to take the EU's
new Middle East peace plan to the Quartet and the rest of the international
community.
The EU's peace plan, among other things, calls for convening
an international conference on the order of the 1991 Madrid Conference.
This idea has been rejected by both Israel and the Bush Administration.
Yet, on January 10-12, the so-called "Madrid+15 Conference" occurred.
This meeting, referred to only as a reunion, brought together all
the major international players from the old 1991 conference. Friends,
no matter what they call it, I believe what we had was a de facto,
international Middle East peace conference. Even though the conference
was said to be unofficial, it was just as real.
Today's news is about Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's trip
to the Middle East and a possible three-way summit between Rice,
PA Chairman Mahoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert
Read about it here. Earlier this month, while
in Washington, it was announced that Solana would be following in
Rice's steps. And, after closed door talks at the Madrid+15 Conference,
I believe Solana may have expressed the new feeling of most of the
international community. Solana said, "the moment of action has
come" Read about it here.
The last area of de facto power I will mention is in regard to
the UN's Alliance of Civilisations (AoC). As you know, I believe
the AoC may be the perfect mechanism from which the coming Antichrist
and his 10 kings can wage their foretold war against the saints
of God. Although the AoC won't be legally binding, it will -- like
all international treaties -- be politically binding. In other words,
the AoC will have de facto power. And, as I said before:
The advantage of de facto power is deniability. Where there's
legal power, it's an easy paper trail to those responsible. But
where there's de facto power, no such trail exists.
Last night I was watching Fox News when I noticed the date on the
screen. Sure enough, the clock on the wall indicated it was a little
after 12. It was 06-06-06. My attention returned to Fox News and
the story being reported. To my surprise, it was about the European
Union's top diplomat arriving in Iran. As I began to realizing who
the story was about, the camera came in for a close-up and the reporter
said his name. It was Javier Solana. Only hours before on the same
network I had watched a documentary about how some people -- both
religious and secular -- were anticipating the coming date of 06-06-06.
Some people where uneasy and concerned. Others were actually a bit
excited. I had thought the whole idea about the date meaning anything
somewhat funny. Now I was seeing this. You see, this is the first
time in the American media that I had seen Javier Solana at the
center of attention. I've seen him before in the background -- like
while standing beside other important leaders, but never in the
foreground like now. more...
How appropriate that Herb would see this
layout at this time. This was totally out of his control that
the media was covering this particular man. Why is this so appropriate?
Considering his studies, the date he saw it on.
Revelation 13:18
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the
number of the beast: for it is the number of a man;
and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
(666)
Also, considering who he was meeting,
the President of Iran. Why is this appropriate? Because of the
Iranian President's position on the
12th Mahdi, or Imam.
I believe that will be the false prophet. So if indeed Javier
Solana is the beast of Revelation 13, he could very well be
meeting the President, not politically as assumed, but privately
as friends, or subordinate. I wish I could be a fly on the wall!
At any rate, expect to see
amazing shifts in diplomacy, perhaps Solana will be able to
fix this seemingly unfixable standoff with Iran and Israel/US/western
world. I specify Israel because that's where Solana traveled
to Iran from. US because we're the biggest backers of Israel
and their biggest threat, and the western world because they
follow the leader. Now Solana may just take that role of leader.
Not only that, but He's already the Secretary General of the
EU, perfectly suited for the job. His office was created by
Recommendation number 666! That's
two times now that some form of 666 is associated with Solana.
Recommendation 666
that created the office he now holds with the power that
accompanies it.
The date he just happens to visit
the President of Iran from Israel
Now why is this second reason significant
at all? Well, not really except that I personally believe that
the 12th Mahdi will be the false prophet of Revelation 13. He's
a religious leader, the Iranian constitution has provisions
that when the Mahdi emerges, he will have control of Iran. Israel
and Iran are the two main players right now, along with Russia
and China, and all the other Muslim nations who want Israel
gone. (Gog/Magog
of Ezekiel 38,39)
What better way to bring Muslims under the political
arm of the first beast, than to have a religious leader like
the 12th Mahdi (Imam), who the Muslims would obey, declare him
as their leader? Beheading is the execution of choice in the
end-times, just like the terrorist Muslims in Iraq and more
recently the desire to behead the Canadian PM. This isn't the
French version either. They like swords.
Revelation 6:8 And I looked, and behold
a pale [G5515 - greenish, verdant]
horse: and his name that sat on him
was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given
unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with
sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts
of the earth.
The banner of Islam is
a green crescent moon and star.
The Muslim faith comprises
about 1/4 of the earth's population currently.
They like to kill/behead
with swords traditionally.
Look at the poverty of
the masses in the Muslim nations, especially those who aren't
Islam. Dictators and gangs take donated food and keep it
to themselves away from the ones in need.
I would say that death and hell
have a strong grip over this quarter of the earth's population
that will be responsible for much death as a result of following
their god's instructions. Not all Muslims of course, but how
many true Muslims will not obey when their leaders command them
to do something? If they value their mortal lives, they'll obey.
If they know nothing else, why would they not kill? If their
lives now are surrounded by death, why would this be any different,
especially given the obvious power of their leadership over
the whole world.
The President of Iran seems to be expecting
the 12th Mahdi any time now. If Javier Solana is the first beast,
then he's probably making some policy right now for the future,
perhaps even meeting with the Mahdi who hasn't revealed himself
yet? At any rate, I wish I were a fly on the wall there!
Happy Birthday Mr. Solana
Herb L. Peters mentioned that he and Constance Cumbey have a
running joke wondering what Javier Solana will get for his birthday
after the coincidental event that tied into Javier's birthday
that worked in his favor...
The Declared Vision: Reconciliation of Civilizations
- The "Alliance
of Civilizations" project was brought up by [Spanish]
Prime Minister Zapatero during his discussions with Secretary-General
Annan at last year's U.N. summit. Annan insisted that a
Muslim country should co-sponsor the initiative together
with Spain. This offer was then taken to Turkey by PM Zapatero,
and was accepted. PM Erdogan's foreign policy advisor, Rafet
Akgunay, and former Spanish Ambassador to UNESCO Maximo
Cajal were appointed coordinators. After joint work by Zapatero,
Erdogan and Annan, the project was officially announced
on July 14, 2005. Turkey and Spain, which have both been
victims of terrorist attacks, have been given the task of
reconciling the Islamic and Christian worlds.
France and Germany agree on Mediterranean
Union Malaysia
Sun (March 3,
2008) - A new political body for nations on the shores
of the Mediterranean Sea would be open to any of the 27
European Union nations that want to join it, German Chancellor
Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy have
said. Merkel and Sarkozy had been at odds for months over
the 'Mediterranean Union', with the Germans upset at being
left out of what they perceived as a unilateral French project.
After dinner at a government mansion in Hanover Monday,
Sarkozy denied there had been any dispute. 'We are in agreement
in principle and in detail,' he said. 'We've done some good
work,' Merkel added. Officials said the two leaders would
propose at the EU summit next week that the Mediterranean
Union be adopted as an extension of a lagging EU diplomatic
initiative known as the Barcelona Process. The new project
would be officially launched at the EU summit July 13-14
in Paris."
July 14, 2008 is Javier Solana's 66th
birthday. (On 2009, January with his new powers and
the new EU treaty in place he will be sixty six and
six months.) stay tuned!
Friday, July 13, 2007 the stock market closed and so
on July 14, 2007, Solana's birthday the gold price remained
at 666. The year before it was 666.30 on his birthday.
See chart Just a little fact... coincidence? You decide,
but keep reading...
Several months ago, I wiki'd Clinton's history and Solana's history
and there was a common link in the 60s too (I wonder if they hobnobbed)...
And what possible ramifications could this have if
Hillary
were to win the 2008 elections? Keep in mind that power is transferred
January 20, 2009 and the
HIStory,
Our Future Bible studies place the revealing of the antichrist
on February 16, 2009.
Revelation 13:3-5
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and
his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered
after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave
power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying,
Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with
him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great
things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue
forty and two months.
Wiki on Clinton: With the aid of scholarships,
Clinton attended the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service
at Georgetown University in Washington D.C., receiving a Bachelor
of Science in Foreign Service (B.S.F.S.) degree in 1968. It
was at Georgetown, that he interned for Arkansas Senator J.
William Fulbright. While in college he became a brother of Alpha
Phi Omega and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.
Wiki on Solana: In 1965 he went to the United
States of America, where he spent six years studying at various
universities on a Fulbright Scholarship.
Wiki on the Fulbright Scholarship: The program
was created through the efforts of Arkansas Senator J. William
Fulbright, who promulgated its passage through the US Senate
in 1946. It is considered one of the most prestigious award
programs and it operates in 144 countries. More Fulbright alumni
have won Nobel Prizes than those of any other academic program,
including two in 2002.
Antichrist's Lineage from Seleucid
Empire
Right now, there is one man that fits best the description of Bible
prophecy. I need to find information on Javier Solana's lineage
because according to Daniel 8:8-12, the antichrist
can be traced back to the Seleucid Empire.
More on that here. This could disprove Javier as
a candidate or re-enforce his position. If you're good at
this kind of thing, take a stab at it and
let me know how it goes! It would certainly be interesting
to see his family tree and from where they originated.
Javier Solana’s Grandfather, “don Salvador de Madariaga"
League of Nations Disarmament Chief:
DISARMAMENT by SALVADOR
DE MADARIAGA Published 1929 "It is a well-known fact that the
League works on the principle of unanimity. The alternative
to such a principle is a SUPER-STATE, since on the day a nation
could be bound by decisions taken by an international body against
its own vote, its own sovereignty would have been transferred
to the international body in question..."
EU (Community) law - definitions:
Community law is an independent legal system which
takes precedence over national legal provisions. This is
where the new world order is headed, a one-world government
presided over by one man.
Frankly seems like a lot of people simply
do not understand history. Javier Solana is by training and experience
the best educated most experienced longest serving world leader
currently present in the whole world. By historical standards he
is in the first rank. Obama should he become president (unlikely)
or even Hilary (likely) are babes in the woods compared to this
man. Solana has had his finger on the pulse of the military of Europe
since 1995. There is no other leader in Europe who knows the nuts
and bolts so well. He helped bring about NATO's original partnership
for Peace process which harmonized the military nuts and bolts of
all of Europe. He has been the WEU leader for 8 years. He is head
of the European Defense institute which houses the War college.
As an orator we simply have not yet heard his quality. He did not
get to be the spokesman for the Spanish government in the 80's without
public speaking ability.
As a diplomat he is first rate. That is
why
he won the Charlemagne award. He stands out as a world leader
in any age. I suspect we have not yet seen his military genius but
that will be evident only during war. He is a renowned diplomat.
Hence he represents the EU as its chief diplomat as well as its
chief military man. As far as the seven year treaty. It is unique
in all of history!!!!
It is seven years, exactly, to the
minute. Jan1 2007 -Dec.31, 2013
It is between Israel AND EU, (first
in history)
It is strengthened (amazing!)
It is with "many" nations.
It was annulled in 2003 by the EU
parliament but overruled by the European council. A precedent
which shows it is not at all unlikely or impossible to be annulled.
It has a mid point review (highly
suspicious)
It is designed, initiated and signed
by a prince of Europe who leads a 10 nation military alliance.
WEU (very compelling)
It has occurred in the first year
that the EU called itself an empire (July 10 2007)
It starts in the same year the Sanhedrin
first calls for the start of sacrifice (April 2 ,2007).
It is occurs during the same year
when another likely treaty or "covenant with hell" is being
considered. Nov 2007, 50 nations!!!!
It is sixty years from the founding
of Israel and 40 from the taking of Jerusalem. (biblical numbers
of ? importance)
This leader is a genius diplomat, a genius
scientist who likely worships a god of forces (physics) and has
been linked to the number 666 multiple highly suspicious ways. I
have continued to point out that gold hit 666.30 Dollars for the
first time in history on his birthday July 14, 2006 and then one
year later gold was at 666.00 Dollars the year of the treaty and
the same day the EU first marches its army and all 27 nations down
the streets of Paris for Bastille day July 14 2007. When
Solana takes on his new powers in January 2009 he will be 66 years
and 6 months old (charming)
And all of this occurs during a time of
great depravity. The WHO calculates that on average by age 45 (90%!!!!!!!!)
(yep 90%!!!!!) of women worldwide have had an abortion. (!!!!murder!!!)
I thinks this ranks up there with the days of Noah. I have tested
this on 20+ people and no one ever was willing to suggest that the
murder rate during the actual days of NOAH was 90%.
If it is not Solana then we should just all go to sleep because
a man of this quality and opportunity will not likely come around
again in our lifetime. The odds of setting up all of the above again
boggles the mind and is beyond calculation. Solana fits the description
many have been looking for better than any other man in all of world
history!!!!! He is it. I repeat.... he is it until proven otherwise.
Unsealed Prophecy
(November 15, 2007) - Javier Solana, the
High Representative for the European Common, Foreign and Security
Policy, has pledged that the EU will play a
very important role at the international peace conference to be held
in Annapolis, Maryland later this month. He made the comments during a
press conference in Israel yesterday, convened by the head of the
Israeli negotiating team, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni. Solana said that
he had discussed a number of issues with Tzipi Livni during his tour of
the region, namely Israel’s desire to upgrade its relations with the
European Union, increasing co-operation in fields such as science and
technology, and they also discussed the need for a third round of
sanctions against Iran in relation to its nuclear programme. He was also
asked questions in relation to Europe’s involvement in the Middle East
peace process. To that, Solana replied that the EU would have an
important presence at the Annapolis gathering, and that the bloc would
continue to play a very prominent role in the region after the event,
taking on the responsibility of a monitoring mechanism, ensuring that
both sides abide by any agreement that is reached. Solana reiterated his
earlier statement, that a peace agreement between Israel and the
Palestinian Authority was “doable” by the end of 2008.
“Question:
Mr. Solana, I would like to ask you what is going to be the role of
the European Union in Annapolis and if you are confident that after
the conference an agreement could be reached in eight or nine
months?
SECRETARY-GENERAL SOLANA: The role of the European Union is to
be part of the Annapolis conference and a member of the Quartet.
Apart from being a member of the Quartet, so we’ll be there. There
will be a very important presence of the European Union and very
important activity and contribution to the process - not only to the
conference itself but also to the mechanism of follow-up, to monitor
it if necessary, etc., etc. Now, you asked me if it’s feasible to
file an agreement at the end of a period of eight months or
something like that. I think by the end of the year 2008, it could
be doable. It could be feasible. I don’t guarantee that will be done
but I think it’s possible.
In regards to the
American-backed “Roadmap to Peace” document, both Solana and Livni
agreed that it was not necessary for the process to intricately follow
the steps written in this document. The Palestinian Authority has not
disarmed or disbanded terrorist organizations operating in its
territory, as detailed in the first stage of the document. As a result,
Israel has not felt obligated to halt all settlement activity in Judea
and Samaria. Instead, the Roadmap to Peace would be used as a final
check, pending the future implementation of any agreement. For his part,
Solana said it was doubtful that the Israelis or Palestinians could
reach an agreement that did not follow along the lines of the Roadmap to
Peace. The US takes much of the credit for initiating the Roadmap to
Peace, following President Bush’s speech of June 2002. But from that
time America has not played much of a peace-making role in the Middle
East. During yesterday’s press conference, Javier Solana stated that
he believed the Roadmap to Peace would be accepted by both sides, and
based this claim on his working knowledge of the document, having
actually written part of the document himself.
“Question:
I’ll ask one question for clarification, with your permission, Mr.
Solana. You’ve been quoted in Egypt as saying that it is not
absolutely necessary that the Roadmap be the point from which both
sides have to depart and it is up to the parties to decide where
they go, with or without that Roadmap. Is it absolutely necessary to
work upon the basis of the road map or are there other avenues?
SECRETARY-GENERAL SOLANA: As you know, if the two parties get an
agreement, they can do whatever they agree to do, with or without a
Roadmap. What do I think? I think that they would not agree on
anything that is very far from the Roadmap and therefore this is
just a metaphorical question. I think that a potential agreement is
around the terms of the first phase of the map. I would not say the
whole of the map, but at least the first phase. I know it by heart
because I wrote part of it. I think that potentially there is a way
to implement whatever agreements may come out of the process that is
happening in Annapolis. And I have the impression that it is
practically agreed that the Roadmap will be accepted by both sides.
If you are wondering
why Solana is referred to as “Secretary
General”, it is because he is the Secretary General of the 10 nation
Western European Union (WEU), the military arm of the EU. He is also
Secretary General of the Council of the European Union, the highest
legislative body in the European Union. So as we can see from
yesterday’s news, the European Union has in the past, and will in the
future, have a direct role in mediating and strengthening a future peace
agreement between Israel and the surrounding nations - just as the Bible
said. According to Scripture, I believe that the identity of the
Antichrist will not be revealed until the Church is removed from the
scene. What is clear is that there are individuals like Solana, heavily
involved in this Middle East peace process, who presently have little
public exposure. Perhaps once we are gone, this will all change.
2
Thessalonians 2:3-8
Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come]
(Day of the Lord), except there come a falling away first
(apostasy), and that man of sin be revealed (Antichrist), the son of
perdition (destruction); Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all
that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth
in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye
not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now
ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For
the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth
(hinders) [will let (hinder)], until he be taken out of the way. And
then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with
the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of
his coming:
I believe that
according to Scripture, the identity of this Person that withholds the
appearance of the man of sin is none other than the Holy Spirit working
through the Church. For only God can be addressed as both gender-neutral
and masculine at the same time. When the “salt” and “light” of this
world is taken home (Matthew 5:13-14), then the way will be opened up
for the appearance of this man, the Antichrist. Are you waiting for the
appearance of the Antichrist, or the appearance of God’s Son from heaven
(1st Thessalonians 1:10)? Turn to Jesus Christ for salvation today.
Isaiah
26:19-21
Thy dead
[men] shall
live,
[together with]
my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in
dust: for thy dew [is as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast
out the dead. Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and
shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little
moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the LORD
cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for
their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall
no more cover her slain.
So examining the information above, there come to light several
key elements of Javier Solana linked with Bible prophecy through
this number. Probably just coincidence.
When Solana gains his emergency powers in January 2009,
he will be 66 years and 6 months old (Regarding the significance
of 2009, please read the
HIStory, Our Future Bible studies)
When the
new US President
is inaugurated January 20, 2009, Javier Solana will be 66 years,
6 months and 6 days old.
King Reindeer is the wonder of the creation. It’s snow-white
and it has a light in the eyes and its horns glow in the night of
Lapland.
According to Lappish people the spirit of Lapland and the magic
of northern lights are living in King Reindeer. King Reindeer reigns
over the area between the land and sky and it wanders there freely.
King Reindeer gives people - for their health and balance of mind
- the peace of wilderness, the freshness of four winds and the shine
of the night sky of Lapland.
King Reindeer drops its horns once a year to renew and grow bigger
ones that are better than ever - for the crown of the creation.
The dropped horns of King Reindeer are found very seldom, perhaps
once in a hundred year. This is a pity since the good will and hope
of the universe become evident in them.
The Universal Childrensstate is lucky; its order of knighthood
- The Universal Goodwill - has got an old horn of King Reindeer
from a dark-eyed Lappish boy. The boy heard an underwater tinkle
in a mountain brook and found the horn in the brook. The boy named
the horn "The Voice of Hope". Now this horn is used to thank and
award the benefactors of the mankind and to appoint them as the
children of the universe whose fame and good labours will live for
ever.
Daniel 7:8 I considered
the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little
horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked
up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the
eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
February 5, 2008 Notice the picture above
how there are three prominent horns and a little one on the side,
well Javier Solana is the
2008 recipient of this prize, and it won't be chosen again
for 3 years:
"Javier Solana, European Union High Representative for the Common
Foreign and Security Policy, was awarded today with the Peace
Prize of the Children's United Parliament of the World (CUPW).
Solana received this prize "for his valuable work in promoting
peace according to the principles of the EU, what has had a
positive impact on the lives and living conditions of European
children and whole world."
This prize is awarded at the end of each three-year session
of the CUPW, an international NGO setup in 1998 by Jyrki Arolinna,
a former Finnish businessman. Today there are children's parliament
in 50 countries and their goal is to promote mutual understanding
and peace."
2007 Charlemagne Prize:
"The Charlemagne Prize is a citizens' prize
for distinguished service on behalf of European unification. By
the will of its initiators, the International Charlemagne Prize
of Aachen is to be awarded for outstanding contributions to the
cause of European understanding and communal endeavour, of humanity
and world peace. It is to honour the fostering of United Europe
with regard to politics, economics, culture, and the mind and spirit.
The contribution can be made in the literary, scientific-scholarly,
economic, and political sector."
link
The project called "Europe" is legitimated
in historico-political terms by its mandate permanently to safeguard
peace in freedom and to ensure the economic welfare and social
security of its citizens. United Europe offers to the younger
generation opportunities that the older generations, which had
to endure two world wars, dared not dream of. But the numerous
conflicts confronting us every day make clear that new dangers
and risks loom – risks which are far more complex and diverse
than suggested by their foreshortening to a putative "clash
of civilizations", and whose transnational impact can strike
anyone and everyone. If the world order of the 21st century
is to be an order of peace and freedom, the European Union cannot
be an achievement limited to Europe alone; it has a global task.
United Europe therefore cannot afford to do without a community
foreign and security policy. For only in the framework of community
action can the preservation of common values and basic interests,
the independence and the intactness of the European Union be
ensured. And only in the framework of common action can Europe
do true justice to its responsibility to settle existing imbalances
and to foster peace in the world.
Mindful of this eminent
objective which, six decades after the end of the Second World
War, continues today to be both topical and urgent, and in recognition
of his outstanding active commitment to a substantial European
contribution to a safer and more just world, the Board of Directors
of the Society for the Conferring of the International Charlemagne
Prize of Aachen honours in the year 2007 the High Representative
for the Common Foreign and Security Policy and Secretary General
of the Council of the European Union, Dr. Javier Solana Madariaga.
The European Union is a global trade and economic power
and, with some 450 million consumers, the domestic market with
the greatest buying power in the world. The Community and its
member states account for over 50 percent of all public development
aid. Nonetheless the Union can ill afford to settle permanently
for the role of economic giant; rather, it is above all as a
Political Union that it must speak with one voice.
Important
as the economic and monetary integration of our continent has
been and will continue to be, the stability of Europe is primarily
determined by foreign and security policy. It is therefore indispensable
for the Union to be firmer than it has been in the past in calling
to mind its common responsibility; for the Europeans have a
major contribution to make to
preserving the peace,
observing human rights and basic
liberties,
strengthening international security,
fostering international cooperation
and
developing and strengthening democracy
and the rule of law.
With its choice of Javier Solana, the
European Union has entrusted one of the most experienced and
important makers of foreign and security policy with the formulation
and coordination of a common policy of this kind; and it behoves
all governments of the member states as well as the citizens
in United Europe to join wholeheartedly in supporting him in
this task, which will likewise generate meaning and purpose
within the community.
Javier Solana Madariaga, who is
married and the father of two children, was born in Madrid on
14 July 1942, growing up in a family of liberal-democratic persuasion.
His father was a professor of chemistry, his mother a niece
of the writer Salvador de Madariaga. After attending El Pilar,
an elite private school, Solana began to study physics at the
Madrid Complutense University; owing to his participation in
protests against the Franco dictatorship his matriculation was
cancelled and he had to continue his studies in the Netherlands,
Great Britain and the United States, in 1968 earning a doctorate
in physics in the USA. After working at the University of Virginia
he returned in 1971 to Spain and taught physics at the Madrid
Autonomous University until one of Franco’s last education ministers
terminated his contract for political reasons. It was not until
1975 that he again got a science appointment – professor of
physics at his alma mater, the Complutense University.
Politically he had already made a name for himself by this
time. Having joined the Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE) as a
student, Solana for many years headed the PSEO in the district
of Madrid. The capital’s citizens first voted him into Parliament
in 1977. At the inauguration of the Socialist government under
Felipe González he was appointed Minister of Culture in 1982
(from 1985 serving as Government Spokesman at the same time).
In 1988 he moved to the Education and Science Ministry. In July
1992, González appointed him Foreign Minister.
Cosmopolitan,
knowledgeable, tough, persevering, but also conciliatory and
suave in manner, Solana became a widely respected and successful
diplomat. Special praise was voiced for his leadership during
the Spanish EU presidency in the second half of 1995, when he
helped to launch the Euro-Mediterranean partnership, later known
as the "Barcelona process". It was thus hardly surprising that
Solana, in younger years an emphatic critic of NATO, received
widespread support for his candidacy for the office of NATO
Secretary General. He was officially and unanimously elected
by the members of the Atlantic Alliance in Brussels on 5 December
1995, taking up his post some days later on 18 December 1995.
Solana’s activities focused from the outset on realigning
the North Atlantic Pact towards eastern Europe. Of major importance
in this connection was the security agreement between NATO and
Russia, which Solana achieved after months of negotiations and
which became the foundation of extensive disarmament measures.
The membership negotiations with Poland, the Czech Republic
and Hungary, widely seen as also setting an example for the
European Union and its enlargement process, were successfully
concluded on 27 November 1997; the accession of the new members
to the Alliance followed in April 1999.
At the EU’s Cologne
summit at the beginning of June 1999 the heads of government
of the EU states named Solana Secretary General of the Council
and the first "High Representative for the Common Foreign and
Security Policy" (CFSP, Ger. GASP) – before the end of his term
of office as NATO Secretary General. In so doing, they were
purposely committing themselves; for the person who was to formulate,
coordinate and visibly present Community policy in this existentially
vital field was vested from the outset with the authority of
a partner, not that of a compliant civil servant. On 18 October
of the same year, the Spaniard took up his new post. The ambassadors
of the WEU states, aiming to move the military organization
into the Community as soon as possible, additionally named Solana
Secretary General of the West European Union.
Often
attracting scanty public notice, Javier Solana, also known as
"Mr. GASP", has since then embodied the efforts of the EU to
speak with one voice in central matters of foreign and security
policy – in the trouble spots of former Yugoslavia, in Chechnya
and in the Middle East, on the African continent, in the Philippines
and in the Ukraine – while functioning as the main driving force
of a European security and defence policy emphasizing above
all the non-military aspects of crisis management. "Whenever
and wherever in the world there is a flare-up, Solana hastens
onto the diplomatic stage and Europe’s voice is clearly heard"
("Süddeutsche Zeitung", 14 June 2001).
The swift transfer
of the WEU to the European Union, the design (developed with
breaktaking speed) for a European Rapid Reaction Force, and
the successes achieved on the way to a solid postwar order in
the Balkans – without Solana’s persevering efforts these things
might well not have materialized, any more than the EU’s first
international crisis-management operations and the new European
security strategy.
The great esteem in which Javier
Solana is held became clear once more on 29 June 2004 when the
heads of state and government of the EU member states re-elected
him to serve another five-year term as Secretary General of
the European Council and as High Representative for the Common
Foreign and Security Policy. In addition it was decided that
with the entry into force of the European Constitutional Treaty,
he would be the first foreign minister of the European Union,
responsible for the coherence of the external activities of
all EU bodies.
By virtue of his impressive personal
record and the eminent policy-shaping task he has assumed as
High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy,
Dr. Javier Solana Madariaga has become a beacon of hope for
the deepening of the political dimension of Europe, the Euro-Atlantic
partnership and the European Union’s declared purpose to render
a key contribution to world peace by means of community action
based on common values and convictions. In honouring "Mr. GASP"
in the year 2007, the Board of Directors of the Society for
the Conferring of the International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen
also expressly appeals to the member states of the EU to attach
even more importance in future to the common foreign and security
policy as a central and purpose-endowing component of the house
of Europe.
2006 Carnegie-Wateler peace prize:
The Wateler Peace Prize is awarded annually by the Dutch
Carnegie Foundation and is named for J.G.D. Wateler who, upon
his death on on July 22nd 1927 "bequeathed his estate to the Dutch
State, under the proviso that the annual revenue accruing from it
should be expended upon the awarding of a prize to those who have
made themselves meritorious in the cause of peace."

'beast' of Revelation. So, SqueakBox proceeded to eliminate all
references to the Barcelona Conference (where Solana declared
war on all religious fundamentalism, worldwide), to the ten
nation Western European Union, to Solana's job being established
in the Europa documents as "Section 666", and to Solana suggesting
and receiving proposed near dictatorial powers over Europe for himself
with "Recommendation 666," and last but not least references
to Solana's long family history of anti-clericalism, his
mother's affiliations with the Rajneesh/Osho cult, and Solana's
taking hegemony over the Israeli-Palestine-Jordan neighborhood.
SqueakBox proceeded to remove all of these and many others and
then, inter alia, went on to publish a near libelous and inaccurate
Wikipedia article on Yours Truly saying that she and Herb Peters
were the originator of the "Solana is the Beast" theories."
The Javier Solana Story
by Constance Cumbey - as of April
17, 2007, this 7-part series focuses in on Javier Solana and
just what he has been up to and how that is lining up with Bible
prophecy.
Javier Solana by Jim Bramlett
(December 5, 2004)
- Javier Solana is a 62-year-old Spaniard who has
acquired great influence in the European Union. He is apparently
brilliant, has a doctorate in physics, and was a Fulbright scholar.
He is a member of the Spanish Socialist party, and is a member of
the Spanish chapter of the Club of Rome. His "career path" has been
intriguing, to say the least. He was NATO Secretary General and
chairman of the North Atlantic Council -- NATO's highest decision-making
body comprising high representatives of the 16 member countries.
Solana seems to have an almost magical (supernatural?) ability to
negotiate and bring parties together in complex and hotly contested
situations.
Examples Solana, under a mandate from NATO's 16 nations,
negotiated the Founding Act with the Russian Federation which was
signed in Paris in May 1997 and which is establishing a new partnership
of cooperation and consultation with Russia. Under a similar, separate,
mandate Dr Solana also negotiated a new relationship with Ukraine
culminating in the signing of the Ukraine-NATO Charter on a Distinctive
Partnership in July of 1997. During his term in office, the Euro-Atlantic
Partnership Council, bringing together the 16 NATO nations and 28
Partner countries was set up in Sintra, Portugal, in May, 1997.
The EAPC provides a political roof for consultations and cooperation
on a wide variety of security-related issues among the 44 and for
Partnership for Peace activities. He presided over the NATO Summit
of Heads of State and Government held in Madrid in July 1997 when
the Allies invited Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland to begin talks
to join the Alliance. He is presently head of the European Union
foreign affairs, with the official title of "High Representative
for Common Foreign and Security Policy for the European Union."
This is an extremely strategic position. He is probably the most
powerful man in the EU -- and maybe the world. more...
“We have finally decided that Europe
will speak with one voice, that of Mr. Solana.” |
Jacques Chirac Regarding Solana's visit to Damascus for
the Hariri inquiry
Solana to Restore EU Ties with Syria
(March 9, 2007)
“Solana
has the power and has had it since January 30, 1999. We are speaking with
one voice through Javier Solana.”
| Madeline Albright USA Secretary of State Regarding Solana being given sole power to make all further
military
decisions over NATO Balkan operations.
“I agree with Javier Solana's decision
to do this.” | Bill Clinton
March 21, 1999 in regards to the forthcoming bombings from the above quote.
“Relations
between the EU and Israel are also part of the Union's wider efforts to
contribute to a resolution of the Middle East conflict. The achievement of
lasting peace in the Middle East is a central aim of the EU, whose main
objective is a two-state solution leading to a final and comprehensive
settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict based on the implementation
of the road map, with Israel and a democratic, viable, peaceful and
soveriegn Palestinian State living side-by-side in peace within secure and
recognized borders and enjoying normal relations with their neighbours.”

“As I've tried to point
out, the European Neighbourhood Policy does not replace the process launched
years ago in Barcelona. It renews it, clarifies it and breathes fresh life
into it.” |
Margot Wallstrom regarding the ENP and fears that it was
replacing the 1995 EURO-MED [E.U. "ROMED"] Agreement
“[The
European] neighbourhood
policy [ENP] is not a substitute for the Barcelona process; it rather underpins
and deepens it.” | Javier Solana
December 17, 2006
“The
aim of the MGI [Managing
Global Insecurity] project is ambitious and urgent: to launch a new
reform effort for the global security system in 2009 … for the global system
is in serious trouble. It is simply not capable of solving the challenges of
today. You all know the list: terrorism, nuclear proliferation, climate
change, pandemics, failing states … None can be solved by a single
government alone.”
| Javier Solana, High Representative for the Common
Foreign and Security Policy, European Union; MGI Advisory Group Member
“We
must make the best use of all the resources at our disposal. Collectively
these are substantial: as the world's largest aid donor we already make an
important financial contribution to aid programmes and to humanitarian and
reconstruction assistance. We have a global diplomatic network more than
twice as big as that of the US State Department. We can use our diplomatic,
economic and financial muscle to influence the behaviour of recalcitrant
parties and aggressors. But until now we have been unable to add military
means to the measures available. This is now changing. Our aim is to
integrate our military forces into a global crisis management strategy.”
| Javier Solana, September 28, 2000
