"It seems certain that Irish voters have rejected the Lisbon Treaty.
With results in from 33 of the 43 constituencies, the Lisbon Treaty is being beaten by a margin of 53.7% to 46.3%. That margin is expected to tighten as more results are announced, but the result is not in doubt."

"With more than 864,000 votes counted, official returns from Thursday's vote showed the no camp leading 53.9% to 46.1%."

EU (except Czech Rep. and GB

EU (except Czech Rep. and GB but this is only temporary, I guess) is going ahead with Lisbon treaty without Ireland. There is nothing to celebrate. They will overrun all opposition and no voters.

I imported from the Czech Republic

for 5 years...and I always had to pay in Euros.

Yeah

You should read the whining in the newspapers about the dirty-rotten No campaign where people said "If you don't know, Vote No".

It's so unfair, people not voting yes to something they don't understand!

Some guy told me that the Yes and No campaigns were being funded by European groups because Ireland was the only country voting on it.

Thank you

Thank you Ireland.

The fight is not over!

I have read in various sources that the grand Plan B is to continue with the ratification procedure in the other countries and let the Irish vote again in a couple of months. So all Europeans who dont't want to get this monster of a treaty being forcefed to them, have to stand up and say that this illegitimate.
We need a Freedom Campaign like Ron Paul started in the US !

whew. you can count on the

whew. you can count on the irish to be irish!

good work ireland!

Nothing has given me greater joy than seeing the elites squirm and fume that the great unwashed have up ended their power grab. fools! we will beat you at every turn!

My favorite part is when the elites call the Irish "ungrateful" because they gave them so many EU funds. So they have to be grateful to the thieves who redistributed the wealth and artificially distorted their economy? The hubris never ends...

Well done, Ireland!

Kudos to those in Ireland

The Irish have a long history of fighting tyranny

And they continue to do so
It is an interesting point to make that Sinn Fein was the only parliamentary party to openly denounce the EU constitution.

We are all Irish today.

We are all Irish today. Great job fellow liberty patriots!

We can all say what needs to be done, but who here led by example today?

Look at the map

Way to go Fighting Irish!

Now that is what I am talking about! Don't give in to tyranny!

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Some awake people there bent

Some awake people there bent on sovereignty. The NWO is going DOWnnnn.

Irish to Save the World Again?

http://www.fourwinds10.co...

"How the Irish Saved Civilization" is the title of a book by best-selling author and historian Thomas Cahill.

The title to next Thursday's Irish vote on the European Union (EU) might just as well as be, "Irish to save the world again?"

On June 12, 2008, the question that everyone, not just the Irish, should be asking is this: "Will the Irish save Europe from itself?" And possibly save the world from the silent bulldozer of the New World Order?

Of the current 27-member nations that comprise the EU, Ireland is the only country whose citizens will get a chance to put democracy to work when they vote on whether Ireland will ratify the Treaty of Lisbon or not--the only national vote throughout all the EU nations will determine the fate of the rest of the 26 EU members.

How did this come about? Dutch and French voters rejected the EU Constitution in 2005 and as a result, the EU was left in limbo politically. So what did the EU leaders do to make democracy work better the next time?

They decided to take away further voting by their respective citizens and instead make any vote on the collective future of the EU the responsibility of the politicians in each member nation, i.e., voting will only be done by their parliaments. The only slight problem is that the Irish Constitution demands a referendum on such mighty and “Irish Constitutional changing” issues such as the Treaty of Lisbon.

The Irish Supreme Court has previously ruled that any fundamental changes to EU Treaties that would change the Irish Constitution's recognition of sovereignty (as being ultimately derived from the Irish people) would require an amendment to the Irish Constitution. Needless to say, Ireland's Constitution can only be amended by a referendum or popular vote of the Irish people.

The significance of this particular Irish vote is that Ireland, by voting “No” on June 12 will effectively kill the EU Constitution—again for the second time--and this time around it might be the deathblow. But then again, maybe not.

The current Treaty of Lisbon was a foregone conclusion, thanks in no small part to some $64 billion USD of “grant” money pumped into Ireland from the European Union (what some might call political “bribery”) until the growing Irish “No” voters decided that maybe ratifying this EU Treaty is not good for the political, economic and financial health of Ireland and the Irish people.

Because the Treaty of Lisbon is needed by the EU to rebuild from ashes of the defeated European Constitution (the Constitution of the EU) and, more importantly, because to pass this Treaty the unanimous consent of all27-member nations is required; the Irish vote could become that proverbial fly in the ointment on the road to a One World Government. (A more in-depth explanation of what this Treaty is all about can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w...)

The creation of the European Union, North American Union, South American Union, Africa Union, and Asian Union (some of which are still on the drawing board) is meant to consolidate national powers into regional power centers, and thereby rid the world of nations and those stubborn nationalistic traits. These regional power centers (think or Google: Star Wars and “Regional Governors”) would then be consolidated into a One World Government.

Even if one doesn’t believe in “conspiracy theories”--what ever that really means except as a pejorative oxymoron to stifle dissent--the Irish people have plenty of practical reasons to reject the Treaty of Lisbon:

1. The Irish premier, Brain Cowen, and his EU Commissioner, Charlie McCreevy, who are leading the “Yes” vote both haven’t even read the 287-page treaty! And they are expecting the Irish people to blindly follow the blind? Exactly!

2. EU’s centralized tax system will run roughshod over the relatively low Irish corporate tax rate that has been one of the primary reasons why foreign companies were attracted to invested in Ireland in the first place.

3. Ireland may not be able control its own interest rates and would be subject to the geopolitical whims of the European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt, Germany. While the current Irish economy could benefit from lower interest rates, the ECB is maintaining its inflation-fighting stance by keeping interest rates relatively high.

4. Current farming subsidies to Irish farmers could be drastically cut and everyone knows what globalization is doing to farmers everywhere around the world--just ask why Indian farmers are committing suicides by the thousands, and why so many Argentinean or Honduran farmers are no longer farming and are in abject poverty. Is this because of farming globalization? Probably.

5. Irish pro-life laws that protect the unborn will go the way of the rest of Europe which means a slippery-slope path to legalized abortion that won’t sit well with her majority Catholic population. (The author of this article suggests that the following educational tool be utilized in the battle for the unborn: www.whendoeslifebegin.inf...)

If history is a good guide, the Irish are a fickle people and for good cause. On the eve of the Treaty of Nice in 2001 (the previous Irish vote on the EU Constitution), the “Yes” vote in Ireland were polling well over 50 percent, that is until voting day when the treaty went flaming down as the “No” vote garnered a huge victory: 53.9 percent “No” vs. 46.1 percent “Yes”. Back then, there were only 15 nations in the EU and Ireland was once again the only nation that allowed (and required) her people to vote on that treaty.

If polls are to be believed, the “Yes” vote currently has about 41 percent and the “No” vote has 33 percent when the Irish people are asked about how they are going to vote on the Treaty of Lisbon. This means that there is a significant minority of undecided voters (some 26 percent). If the “No” voters turn out in full force as they did during the prior treaty and if they get a few more votes from the "Undecided" voters, they will win.

Will the Irish vote to save Europe from itself?

Will they save the world from the One World Government of the Bilderbergers, Trilateral Commissioners, and Council of Foreign Relations members that make up the small handful of global power elites who seek world domination, i.e., enforcement of a complete totalitarian global state, and the political and economic slavery of the billions of “little people,” while ensuring “god-like” status and powers for the 5,000 or so overlords on “prison planet Earth”?

Time will tell.

But again if history is any indication, the Irish may yet save the world once again by their “No” vote onThursday, June 12, 2008.

While the rest of Europe was being overrun by barbarians and the Dark Ages that covered the continent like a dense fog of forgetfulness and ignorance, it was the Irish people who were able to maintain the light and breath of civilization, through their love of learning and literacy that can be traced directly back to that jolly green saint who is loved and celebrated every year by everyone around the world, Saint Patrick.

The Irish people (and you the readers) should read Thomas Cahill’s book and fight this pivotal battle by casting a resounding “No” on the Treaty of Lisbon this coming Thursday!

What would Saint Patrick do?

Ireland and the Irish people: you should do the same!

So far per Ireland.com

58%/NO 42%yes
On a light note "Bookmaker PaddyPower has admitted it made a mistake, after paying out more than E80,000 in bets on a yes vote in the Lisbon Treaty. The blunder means the bookmaker will be forced to pay out over E180,000 referendum bets. Ina statement PaddyPower said last night there was rumors of an exit pole showing the yes side in the lead. It's an unlucky Friday the 13th for PaddyPower but a lucky one for our punters, he added"
All of here at DP are counting on you Ireland for the total talley to come out NO.

digg it!

Why Ireland Must Reject the Lisbon Treaty
http://www.libertas.org/c...

Declan Ganley writes in The Irish Daily Mail's Saturday Essay on why Ireland must reject The Lisbon Treaty.

I don't know Libertas but

I am sure that your Ron Paul movement and waking people up for idea of liberty had big influence on irish voting.
I wrote it here (on DP) many times: we had no to much hope in Europe.
For me personally you (RP's supporters) gave me hope that liberty has a chance. Important thing is that Irish speak english and there was no problem to understand all RP's speaches,debates, forums etc.
I think we could not have this great NO without Ron Paul.
(Rhonda what do you think?)
But. I can be wrong. I am in Poland.
And today on ALL COMMENTS on all articles polish people say
"thank you Ireland"
"bravo Ireland"

BUT!
"Our" minister of defence said "referendum must be repeated" ! Imagine this!
They change some "paragaphes that Irish didn't like" and do this referendum again. Watch your back Ireland !
And again again till the biased yes ?
This is orwellian nighmare but WE WILL WIN ! huh :-)
