With investors on razor's edge, markets around the world turned sharply negative as initial results from the British referendum on European Union membership showed a nail-bitingly close vote. The pound plunged to its lowest level since 1985 as results gave a narrow lead to the Leave campaign. Amid volatile trading, the British currency sank below $1.35 after earlier touching $1.50.

Looks like the globalists have pulled their plunge protection teams and are teaching the serfs a lesson. Now we may get to see the real value of everything. Not gonna be pretty. Obama will obviously be throwing hissy fits all day. Keep all lamps and ash trays away from Hillary.

Well, if you watch the markets and listened to all the politicians, media types, etc. who were all over Sky and the BBC tonight, Britain is a very big player in the EU. According to them, the Brits served as the liaison for America because Obama was too stupid or lazy to want to deal with Brussels himself. (I put that last bit in about BO.)

Does this mean the Muzzies will get tossed out of the UK?

[infowarrior]

That’s a big drop. Wonder why the big boys are all reacting like this? Is it because they almost had us enslaved...and then lost control?

If it looks like a duck, waddles like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it sure isn't an armadillo...

Might actually start a correction that accurately defines how much profit has been sucked out of the markets over the last 8-10 years....

I wonder how Gold & Silver are going to do? <<

They usually go up in any “crisis”....
