Seven EU states create military drone 'club'

BRUSSELS - Seven EU countries have formed what
France calls a "club" to produce military drones from 2020 onward.
The scheme was agreed in Brussels on Tuesday (19
November) at a meeting of the European Defence
Agency (EDA), the EU's defence think tank, by
France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain.
The group-of-seven's defence ministers signed a
"letter of intent" tasking the EDA to draw up a
study on joint production of Medium Altitude Long
Endurance (Male) craft, which can be used to
strike military targets or for surveillance of
migrant boats in the Mediterranean Sea.
The EDA said in a press release that "the
objective of this community is to exchange
information as well as to identify and facilitate
co-operation among member states which currently
operate or plan to operate RPAS [Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems]."
The think tank's director, Claude-France Arnould,
noted: "In view of today’s constrained financial
situation, this effort for defence must be fully
efficient which implies co-operation and searching for synergies."
Another EDA official, Peter Round, told media:
"This is the starting pistol for us to be able to
start work on a European RPAS."
The French defence minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian,
said: "If Europe hopes to maintain a strategic
capability, countries must pool their capacities
and actions in a pragmatic way."
He called the group of seven a "club of drone-using countries."
The EDA decision comes ahead of an EU summit on defence in December.
It also comes amid a raft of existing European drone projects.
Three European arms firms - France's Dassualt,
Franco-German firm Eads and Italy's Finmeccanica
- agreed in June to launch their own European drone programme.
France, Greece, Italy, Spain, Sweden and
Switzerland are working on what they call a
"euro-Ucav," or unmanned combat air vehicle, the
Neuron, which made a test flight in December 2012.
France and the UK are working on a "stealth"
drone called Telemos to fly in 2018.
On the civilian side, the European Commission is
also developing drones to be used for
surveillance in EU civilian airspace with Israel
Aerospace Industries and with the Austrian-based
firm, Diamond Airborne Sensing.
The EDA meeting on Tuesday saw eight EU states -
Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France,
Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK - sign up to a
second scheme, the "Joint Investment Programme on
RPAS for Air Traffic Insertion," to enable drones
to fly alongside civilian planes.
Meanwhile, the EU's new Male programme is
designed to compete with Israeli and US arms firms.
Israel and the US make the vast majority of the
world's military drones and sell them to allies
such as Germany, France, Italy and the UK.
Britain, according to a report filed by the UK
defence ministry to the British parliament last
month, used US-made "Reapers" to strike targets
in Afghanistan 418 times since 2007.
The UN and robotics experts have voiced concerns about drone proliferation.
Noel Sharkey, a British scientist who advises the
UK military, told this website last year that
China has also developed a Male, the Pterodactyl,
which it intends to sell worldwide.
But the concern has had little impact on a global
drone market said by the US-based consultancy,
the Teal Group, to be worth €5 billion a year and
forecast to hit €9 billion by 2018.
The EDA meeting on Tuesday also called for
"increased co-operation" by EU states on
air-to-air refuelling, satellite communications and cyber defence.
Its press release noted, referring to EU states'
reliance on the US airforce in the Libya and Mali
conflicts, that: "Recent operations have
demonstrated an important European capability gap
in this area [air refuelling]."
Correction: The original story said Denmark is
part of a group of eight countries which signed
up to a Joint Investment Programme on RPAS for
Air Traffic Insertion. In fact, Denmark is not in
the group. But Germany is. Sorry
An explosive review published today reveals that
royal author Alan Power fraudulently included
hundreds of false “facts” and repeatedly altered
sworn witness evidence, in his widely-read book The Princess Diana Conspiracy.
The extensive book review – entitled Alan Power
Exposed: Hundreds of Errors in “The Princess
Diana Conspiracy” – uncovers over 200 deceptions
and errors in Power’s book. It is authored by
John Morgan, an Australian investigative writer
who is seen by many to be the world’s leading
expert on the deaths of Princess Diana and Dodi
Fayed. He has written nine evidence-based books
on the circumstances around the car crash that
took their lives in Paris’ Alma Tunnel on 31 August 1997.
Alan Power Exposed – which runs to 180 pages – is
an in-depth investigation of Power’s work.
Speaking from his home in Brisbane last night
John Morgan said that The Princess Diana
Conspiracy is a “minefield of deceptive writing,
manipulation of evidence, misinformation and
misrepresentation of the facts.” Morgan stated
that Power has duped his readers: “Power claims
that he has disclosed the facts of the case, but
instead what he has done is fraudulently alter
much of the witness evidence to fit his own
predetermined false scenario of what
occurred”. Morgan went on to say that he was
staggered when he realised just how far Power had
gone in his efforts to deceive his readers.
The review also addresses the amazing coincidence
that The Princess Diana Conspiracy was published
within days of the August 2013 announcement by
Scotland Yard that it was scoping new information
regarding the deaths. That announcement concerned
an allegation by a member of the SAS, known as
Soldier N, that the SAS were involved in the
assassination of Princess Diana – an allegation
that actually matches the premise of Power’s
book. Morgan includes evidence in his review
indicating the fortuitous timing of Power’s
publication may not have been a coincidence.
John Morgan says that a key question is: Why does
a first-time author living on the Isle of Man
produce a book that is so heavily flawed – 200
basic errors with over 500 when one allows for
repetition? Alan Power Exposed seeks to answer
this. Morgan states: “The point here is that the
case for the assassination of Princess Diana is
now very strong and there is no need at all to
alter witness evidence and misrepresent the facts
– so why did Power do this, and on such a large
scale?” Expert analysts have raised the
possibility that Power’s book is actually a
“false flag” operation, written in cooperation
with the British intelligence services, and
published with the intention of discrediting the
entire worldwide movement that is seeking justice
for Princess Diana. In the review Morgan points
to evidence indicating that Power may not have
been acting alone when he wrote The Princess Diana Conspiracy.
John Morgan is the author of the Diana Inquest
series of books. Eminent QC Michael Mansfield –
who served throughout the six months of the
London inquest – has said of that series: “I have
no doubt that the volumes written by John Morgan
will come to be regarded as the ‘Magnum Opus’ on the crash”.
Mohamed Al Fayed, who lost his son Dodi in the
Paris crash, has stated: “I believe that John
Morgan has done more to expose the facts of this
case than the police in France and Britain.”

Please consider seriously the reason why these elite institutions are not discussed in the mainstream press despite the immense financial and political power they wield?
There are sick and evil occultists running the Western World. They are power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought. Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - Tony
