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.

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".
The Forerunner to Prepare the way
A post by

Watch (February 17, 2006)
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:
-
Go to:
http://www.jvim.com/search.htm
-
type in key search words:
"Romano Prodi"
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!!!
Other Connections
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.
Dr. Javier Solana
1995-2010: Reviving the Roman Empire
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.

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

Balklands, on the understanding that the first would be on Russia. Welcoming

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.

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.
-
Presidency of the Council of the European Union
- 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 attacks Updated: 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 peace
DAVOS,
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.
Power Play?
(January 18, 2007)
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 job EUobserver
(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. more...
Merkel calls for EU constitution by 2009
Seattle 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...
De-Facto Power
Full Text From Herb Peter's site,
fulfilled prophecy
(January 15, 2007)
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.
The power, however, is just as real.

(June 6, 2006)
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.
- Death is a prevalent part
of Muslim society.
-
More
on Islam
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.

Bill Clinton & Solana
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.
Why
watch Javier Solana?
Post from
Adamantine at
FulfilledProphecy:
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.
Solana & 666
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.
Awards
2008 Children's Parliament Peace Prize:
The King Reindeer Horn: The Voice of Hope
Horns of King Reindeer
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."

May 17, 2007
Javier Solana was awarded the 2007 Charlemagne Prize:
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 t |
