    Hi Guys,
    Scufflaw thinks that because New World Order is mentioned in a thread no matter the source it automatically merits a thread to be locked in the EU section.

    The thread is not conspiracy. It is fact.

    Here is the thread in the EU forum (Please look at the sources and interviewee)

    http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055686207

    Scofflaw over at the politics section claims this post should be locked when I posted it in the European Union section.

    This amazes me considering the source of this article is Euro News. The interviewee is an EU bigwig announcing One World Government Plans.

    In my opinion Scofflaw the moderator is denying the facts and not allowing discussion in the EU forum on this very important matter. He claims it is not political and that I should post it here in the conspiracy 'loon bin'. I am gobsmacked at the delusion and the anti-democratic nature of this decision.

    Jacques Attali is a man of many facets. A founder and former President of the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development, the author of 40 books, a pianist and conductor, he can look at life from all sides. He had the ear of President Francois Mitterand, and attended many top-level international meetings. Today, he specialises on micro-finance and new technology. But his favourite role is as prophet, looking at the world and where it’s going. As such, he faced our euronews cameras.

    I feel that if this thread is not re-opened it confirms the rumours about boards.ie and is an infraction on free speech.

    That doesn't mean he's not a nutcase.

    There would appear to be no other direction for that thread to go, but downwards. The politics forum isn't there to facilitiate that. As pointed out, Conspriacy Theories might have been more relevant.

    If anything, it proves nothing more than that boards.ie has some common sense.

    Its quite a big deal that this guy is talking about a world government considering his credentials. Jim Corr was right all along and is getting rediculed. Is his name not allowed to be cleared? We have evidence and back-up now so no negative discussion on Jim Corr would be relevant.

    Boards is not being sensible on this issue at all. Its really does (this is not an accusation) look like this is being covered up for whatever reason. Would it have been locked as quickly after the Lisbon vote?

    We can debate this until the cows come home: but the fact that your starting point is right over there with Mr Attali and Jim Corr, it's doubtful that you're going to see this in the same way as I do.

    The point remains, however, that the moderator took the right desicion in this case and I've no intention of over-ruling him or re-opening the thread.
    Would it have been locked as quickly after the Lisbon vote?

    When boards.ie shells out for crystal balls, I'll answer that one.

    One mans sensible pre-emptive strike is anothers conspiracy. There's very little I can do about that. People are welcome to read into it what they wish.
