Danes Dump Euro, Defy Bilderberg

The Danes' clear rejection of the Euro is a major setback for the globalists' one world agenda.

Exclusive to The SPOTLIGHT
By Christopher Bollyn

The Danish people have prevailed over the big-money oligarchs of Europe and voted to keep the krone (crown), their national currency and symbol of Den mark's sovereignty.

On Sept. 28, the Danes rejected the euro by a vote of 53 to 47 percent and won a decisive battle against the European financial elites who sought to abolish their national currency and replace it with the euro, the common currency of the European Union.

Rejecting membership in the "euro-zone" in a national referendum, 87 percent of the electorate turned out in a historic vote to defend their econo mic sovereignty and dealt a severe blow to the troubled common currency of the European super-state.

The euro, which is shared by 11 na tions, has steadily declined in value, losing almost 30 percent against the dollar since it was introduced in January 1999.

The Danish referendum on whether to adopt the euro, however, was about much more than money.

"The essential issue is the preservation of our sovereignty," Pia Kjaersgaard, leader of the Danish People's Party and opponent of the euro said. "The euro will erode our national authority and identity at a time when Denmark is already be coming more and more multiethnic and globalized."

Ms. Kjaersgaard's anti-immigration policy has drawn comparisons to the po sitions of Pat Buchanan, Joerg Haider of the Austrian Freedom Party and Jean Marie Le Pen of France's National Front.

"Do we want to lose control of our lives with more and more decisions made by the European Central Bank in Frankfurt or in Brussels?" she said. "Do we want this multiculturalism, this multi-ethnicity, about which the country was never consulted? I say we don't want either."

The campaign for the euro in Denmark was a lopsided affair pitting Ms. Kjaers gaard, "an ordinary housewife with three children" against the big-money interests of Europe.

In a speech in England last December, Ms Kjaersgaard warned the Third Congress for Democracy that the struggle to maintain national sovereignty in Europe would not be easy.

"The powers we are up against are dreadfully strong," she told attendees of the meeting.
