There's panic in the skyscrapers. A popular revolution against globalism is underway, and Britain has struck the first blow.
To the dismay of political, financial, and media elites, the country has chosen to put identity and sovereignty above a plus-one-or-minus-one change in GDP, and vote to leave the hated European Union. As with the USSR, the attempt to superimpose a manufactured civic identity over proud nation-states with rich and complex histories has run against the grain of human nature. The elites, so wrapped up in statecraft and economics, never paused to consider basic human psychology.
It’s not just Britain, you see. The revolution against globalism is, well, global. Britain may be leading the charge, but insurgents and rebels from D.C to Berlin are also hard at work tormenting their elitist overlords. Fired up by Britain’s example, eurosceptics across the continent are now demanding their own referendums. It’s a Berlin Wall moment.
The unelectable and unaccountable bureaucrats in Brussels must be pissing themselves right now. They are losing one of the biggest crutches for a fragile alliance of countries that can’t pay their bills. (Fortunately, they still have the power to unilaterally grant themselves a monthly budget of 2,000 euros for trouser cleaning.)

Been brewing for awhile. I remember about ten years ago the Irish and the Brits were getting angry about all the Pollock immigrants taking their jobs. Add ten years of Islamic insanity and here we are.
A "NATOuttahere!"
Ben Garrison is a genius!
When I saw that, I thought, “and his Louis Vuitton is not a knock off”. I read his pearls he wraps on his wrist are also real.
Well, he is quite wealthy.
I will take Polish Plumbers over the Islamists any day.
Yes, see my tagline!
It appears that a lot of people in Great Britain are having morning after remorse. Who knows, they might even have a revote since it appears many are shocked to learn what the Brexit actually means. Also the stay vote among younger voters was much stronger than by older voters. Meanwhile, if you are worried, here is an article on what this may mean financially for us and world markets.

ThAT will make Putin happy.
“Also the stay vote among younger voters was much stronger than by older voters. “
yeah, except the percentage turnout of the younger voters was minuscule compared to the older voters, so I suppose you can count the monumental number of younger voters who didn’t vote at all as “don’t care enough one way or the other to bother to vote”.
Rudyard Kipling, “The Beginnigs”:
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late
With long arrears to make good,
When the English began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy-willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the English began to hate.
Their voices were even and low,
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show,
When the English began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd,
It was not taught by the State.
No man spoke it aloud,
When the English began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred,
It will not swiftly abate,
Through the chill years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the English began to hate.
Why did the populist uprising take so long? Pat Buchanan raised the flag 20 years ago. Why didn’t it work then? Why now?
