February 20, 2008 (LPAC)--Now that one of the principal authors of the Lisbon Treaty has openly stated the intention of the treaty, with that in mind, a quick read-through of the consolidated treaty will yield the following text:

Article 32
Member States shall consult one another within the European Council and the Council on any matter of foreign and security policy of general interest in order to determine a common approach. Before undertaking any action on the international scene or entering into any commitment which could affect the Union’s interests, each Member State shall consult the others within the European Council or the Council. Member States shall ensure, through the convergence of their actions, that the Union is able to assert its interests and values on the international scene. Member States shall show mutual solidarity.

Article 34
1. Member States shall coordinate their action in international organisations and at international conferences. They shall uphold the Union’s positions in such forums. The High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy shall organise this coordination. ...

2. ... Member States which are also members of the United Nations Security Council will concert and keep the other Member States and the High Representative fully informed. Member States which are members of the Security Council will, in the execution of their functions, defend the positions and the interests of the Union, without prejudice to their responsibilities under the provisions of the United Nations Charter.

When the Union has defined a position on a subject which is on the United Nations Security Council agenda, those Member States which sit on the Security Council shall request that the High Representative be invited to present the Union's position.

What is reprinted above is only a very small, but very important aspect nonetheless, of the entire Lisbon Treaty package: replace that Westphalian Principle, that not only saved civilization from itself but was the defining principle of modern nation states, with a typically imposed fascist "consensus."
