How can Scotland be independent when Britain lost its independence to the EU?

Scotland’s so-called fight for independence was another one of those epic battles lost before it ever began. The passions played out in pictures; the threats of corporations and banks withdrawing from Scotland the Brave; the repeated reminders that Scotland breaking away from Britain would lead the way for other countries to strike out on their own was all for naught.

How could Scotland be independent from Britain when Britain is not independent. Britain belongs stock and barrel to the European Union (EU) and has since January 1, 1973. “Voters in Glasgow backed independence 53-47, but overall Scots apparently didn't believe the risks of breaking ties with Britain were worth whatever appeal independence might have held. Interestingly, British Prime Minister David Cameron is responding to the movement by offering more local autonomy on matters like taxation - not only to Scotland but to England, Wales and Northern Ireland as well.” (Dan Calabrese, Sept. 19, 2014) Wonder what took Cameron so long to offer local autonomy on matters as critical as taxation to Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland? Did it really take the threat of Scotland breaking away for the Prime Minister of Britain to do the right thing? This is the same David Cameron who joked that ‘assassination’ would be a ‘welcome release’ from the pressure of keeping Scotland in the UK – as the battle over independence raged ahead of yesterday’s vote. “The Prime Minister made the crass remarks at a Downing Street gathering last night as the polls showed Scotland’s future in the Union hanging by a thread. Mr Cameron also decided against a last-minute campaign trip north of the border today – leaving his former adversary Gordon Brown to do the heavy lifting for the ‘No’ campaign while he dropped off his children at school and visited a factory in Hampshire to highlight Britain’s plummeting unemployment.

A cynic might posit that Scotland’s fight for independence was blanket propaganda to remind the masses of the chokehold power of the EU.

The only perceptible Independence in 2014 comes from dreams and Braveheart movies. Indeed a cynic might posit that Scotland’s fight for independence was blanket propaganda to remind the masses of the chokehold power of the EU. Those signing that There’ll Always Be An England, now that the EU runs all but the entire European Theatre, are merely whistling past the cemetery. The control of the masses by the EU can be seen by counting the 19 countries left who as yet do not belong to it:

1. Albania
2. Andorra
3. Belarus
4. Bosnia-Herzegovina
5. Croatia
6. Iceland
7. Liechtenstein
8. Macedonia (Former Yugoslav Republic of)
9. Moldova
10. Monaco
11. Montenegro
12. Norway
13. Russia
14. San Marino
15. Serbia
16. Switzerland
17. Turkey
18. Ukraine
19. Vatican City

England may be England but today’s England is England under the bulldog grip of the E.U., whose latest dictate forces low power vacuum cleaners on helpless Brit consumers. Nor is independence merely a long lost dream only in Europe. In North America, our EU is the one-world-order seeking, corrupt United Nations. Difficult to determine which of the two world bodies is the biggest master of propaganda, the EU or the UN. The EU just finished spreading the false horror of many other countries separating if Scotland had voted ‘Yes’. The latest scare tactics of the ‘We’re-all-gonna’-die” UN is Ebola: “The Security Council, in its first emergency meeting on a public health crisis, today declared the Ebola outbreak in West Africa a threat to peace and security, as Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced that the United Nations will deploy a new emergency health mission to combat one of most horrific diseases on the planet that has shattered the lives of millions.”

“This international mission, to be known as the United Nations Mission for Ebola Emergency Response, or UNMEER, will have five priorities: stopping the outbreak, treating the infected, ensuring essential services, preserving stability and preventing further outbreaks,” Mr. Ban told the Security Council.”

Scotland had about as much a chance at secession as the world has of escaping Al Gore-Maurice Strong-Barack Obama Global Warming/Climate Change-engineered No. 1 world Health issue. With most world governments having already jumped on the EU and UN bandwagon, independence is dead. As columnist Chuck Baldwin so elegantly reminds us, “Scottish freedom-fighter William Wallace, gave, without a doubt, the greatest war speech in movie history”: In the colossal movie, “Braveheart” (1995), Mel Gibson’s character, Scottish freedom-fighter, William Wallace, gave, without a doubt, the greatest war speech in movie history. The men of Scotland were facing a vastly superior number of English troops before the Battle of Stirling Bridge; and many of them had already begun retreating in fear. Here is the exchange:

William Wallace: And if this is your army, why does it go? Veteran: We didn't come here to fight for them! Young Soldier: Home! The English are too many! William Wallace: Sons of Scotland! I am William Wallace. Young Soldier: William Wallace is seven feet tall! William Wallace: Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds. And if HE were here, he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse. [Scottish army laughs] William Wallace: I *am* William Wallace! And I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of tyranny. You've come to fight as free men...and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight? Veteran: Fight? Against that? No! We will run. And we will live. William Wallace: Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live...at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take...OUR FREEDOM! [Scottish army cheers] William Wallace: Alba gu bràth! Army: ALBA GU BRÀTH! ALBA GU BRÀTH! ALBA GU BRÀTH! (Source: IMDb.com)

But in the end it was only another Hollywood movie. The real Braveheart died centuries ago. His modern day copycat is only Mel Gibson, the actor.
