Brexit Vote Has Huge Ramifications for U.S. Politics
PJ Media ^ | 6/23/2016 | Roger L Simon

Posted on 06/26/2016 3:49:20 AM PDT by HomerBohn

News flash: The revolt against elites is real in the UK and America and it's only getting started. Maybe there will always be an England.

In a surprise, Leave won the Brexit referendum on whether to stay in the European Union by an equally surprising amount. British sovereignty won. David Cameron lost. Jeremy Corbyn lost. The EU lost. Bureaucrats lost. Angela Merkel lost. Barack Obama lost. Globalism lost. Authority figures almost everywhere lost. And, most of all, unlimited immigration lost.

So what happened to the vaunted British betting market that is almost invariably correct and was predicting by 80 percent a Remain victory? Or all those recent polls that were tilting Remain?

Answer: Those same elites had convinced each other they would win and therefore convinced the usual suspects—media, pollsters and, sadly, financial markets—that they were right. They were wrong. Watching them now on the BBC they still cannot comprehend what has happened. The peasants have revolted—oh no, oh no. There must be some mistake. Didn't they get the memo? The sky would fall if they left the EU.

Earth to elites: Citizens of truly democratic countries don't want unlimited immigration into their countries by people who couldn't be less interested in democracy. They also don't want to be governed by the rules and regulations of faceless bureaucrats whose not-so-hidden goals are power and riches for themselves and their friends. Simple, isn't it?

Immigration is the 'gift' from our moronic politicians that just keeps on giving! America now suffers a resurgence of catastrophic illnesses almost unseen in USA for many years- polio, tuberculosis, etc brought by illegals and those from the middle east.

This spreads to our children whose parents fear vaccinations more then diseases like measles, whooping cough etc. These are deadly illnesses that older Americans remember for the devastation caused.

America's labor participation rate is the lowest since Jimmy Carter. If the inflow of immigrants is halted and deportations begin en masse, unemployment will come down and wages will rise and this will not occur if the idiot class elects a Hillary Clinton and her doltish husband.

Hillary Clinton is missing in action. She has been taking a break from her extremely hard running campaign. She has not been seen or heard from, since last Wednesday, at one of her weakly attended rallies. Meanwhile Donald Trump, while In Scotland, Great Britain, takes on all questions & inquiries from the Obamabot/Clinton Media low life, vermin and is a total “open book” to the American people on all counts!!! In fact....Clinton has been out of sight for over two weeks now, except from a holding a few sparsely attended political rallies.

Of course, Ms. Clinton...has been co-opted as the “real” Democrat nominee for POTUS, by none other then POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama, who has shoved Clinton under the bus, as he now runs for a third term. Hence Clinton will not utter a word, other then what she is instructed to say, by POTUS, Obama!!! One wrong word, uttered by Hillary Clinton and, she lands in federal prison!!! Go figure thes America haters!!! GO DONALD J. TRUMP!!!!

Don’t be fooled by Obamas “prancing about dancing type behavior”. He has been humiliated yet again on the world stage. This weakens him even as he lashes out at western civilization “like a little girl”.

Remember back in 2013 how Barack Obama, in a childish fit of petulant rage over congressional budget cuts, shut down the national parks and other public lands?

Well, I see the same type of thing happening between the EU and Britain.

The powerful forces of globalism are aligning themselves against Britain to punish them for their impudence in daring to vote to leave the EU.

They are determined to make Britain suffer and to prevent more countries separating from EU.

And, by driving world financial markets down, they are trying to generate public and private opinion and opposition against the British exit.

Begs the question if she ever was incapacitated, how long would they take to inform the voters? My guess is a couple of weeks, only after even their media toadies start asking.

I always thought she had focus groups on call 24/7 to tell her what take on this spins best. My guess is her wizards can only brew up a position the left wont like.

Remember back in 2009 when Barack and Moochie flew to Copenhagen to make a pitch to bring the 2016 Olympics to Chicago?

And how the Olympics Committee slapped him down by eliminating Chicago at the first round?

The EU is in no position to mete out punishment to anybody. They will do no more to Britain than the USSR did to East Germany in 1989 when they, too, bolted a corrupt, rotting structure.

Besides, the German and French stock markets lost twice as much as the British on Friday, LOL!

For this single reason alone there should be a LOT of politicians hanging from lamp posts. There is no reason whatsoever for our overlords to introduce horrible diseases that were previously eliminated in this country in the name of "fairness", while in actuality it's to give them more of a power base.

“They also don’t want to be governed by the rules and regulations of faceless bureaucrats whose not-so-hidden goals are power and riches for themselves and their friends.”.......

If the Brits can do it, so can American’s. It is well past time this same message is sent to the money grabbers in our government. Time for the revolution.

We will continue to see psy-ops “polls” here until they are so embarrassingly wrong they can’t get anyone to believe them. Real Clear Politics will continue to play the fool with it’s selective but no questions asked use of phony polls.

I have a little nagging worry about Brexit.
I wonder if the EU will react to their leaving their “More Perfect Union” as badly as Lincoln and the Federalist did in 1861.

In my opinion, it is very much the same thing.
Only Great Britain did not allow the wounds to fester as long as the 11 southern states did.

Be careful. Push mr. Obama too far and he will wipe out a queer bar.

The Brits never killed off the pound fir the euro which is why
Soros and his Globalist cabal punished them on Friday.
Soros specialty is currency manipulation which is why two countries want him extradited for that crime .
Friday was a shining example of evil Soros making them pay and notice no one on the media is talking about it.

I think the transition will be quietly and smooth which makes the Globalist scared .

Seriously, you think it's possible for the EU to go to war with Britain over them leaving ...?

The elites at the EU won't go to war with the elites in London...

They are on the same team...

A war would be very unpopular with the Euroweenies. The whole continent would be in rebellion.

I mentioned yesterday if brexit would set an example for the dissolution of the country to allow states to leave the corrupt DC empire. Let the country have a peaceful separation; the prog criminals get the NE and West coast and the freedom lovers the rest.
