Brexit Documentary Explains How EU Globalists Strangled Britain's Republic

If you're like me, your knowledge of the European political scene is sadly weak.  You know you should broaden your understanding, but who has the time? Well, now there's a fabulous documentary on YouTube that makes getting up to speed on the EU and European econo/political scene fun and efficient.

Its name is Brexit, the Movie.  And watching only 20 to 30 minutes of this feature-length film, I came away with keen insights on: 1) Why the British were desperate to exit the EU; 2) How the EU bureaucracy grew its cartel over the decades; and 3) The modus operandi the globalists used in Europe and could very well try to push on America through TPP and other nation-killing ploys.

Some quick facts and opinions on Brexit, the Movie:

• Highly Influential Film -- With 1.7 million YouTube views since its release in May, Brexit, the Movie was created to influence a wide audience about the Brexit decision. 
  

• Great Production Values here.  Quick-hit commentaries, splendid live footage of the UK and Brussels, and some clever animated graphics to explain key points. 
  

• The Movie is a crowdfunded production, financed entirely by donations from the 1,800 backers who raised over 300,000 pounds with donations as little as 1 pound. 
  

• What's a Globalist?  How do they gain power and keep it?  The Movie explains the inner workings of the European Union, the textbook case of how the globalist masterminds hire the political elite and develop cozy relationships with large corporations, charities, and universities. 
  

• The Unfathomable Bureaucracy -- The Movie shows the staggering span of regulations that touch everyday life in the EU -- and how EU schemes are used to protect privileged companies and force out innovative competitors.
  

• Industries All but Wiped Out -- The Movie examines a few of the industries that have been brought to their knees by EU regulations.   The fishing fleet, for example, is a shadow of what it once was.  The EU sold off the UK's fishing rights to other EU nations.  Now, British fishermen are not allowed to commercially in waters just a few miles off their shores!
  

• An EU Parliament that's All Talk, and has zero authority -- Each member state sends delegates to the EU Parliament, but the Movie shows why this body is merely a front for bureacrats behind the scenes who make the decisions, but are accountable to no one!
  

• Cross Atlantic Parallels -- Plenty of parallels between what's happening in Brussels and our very owner center of corruption, Washington DC.  So the intelligence in this British film is truly relevant to our own struggle to stop the globalists. 
  

Brexit: The Movie is written and directed by filmmaker Martin Durkin.  Durkin's Wag TV produces TV shows worldwide for discovery, National Geographic, TLC, Science Channel, Channel Four and Five in Britain.  Of the various prizes he's won for his films, he is most proud of the Free Enterprise Award, given him by the Institute of Economic Affairs.

Brexit:The Movie bump for later viewing.

[Bulldaddy]

Me too.

Thank you. I watched it all. The US is in much the same situation.

Like the Brexit vote, Article V is about sovereignty.

You have to have government representatives that can NEGOTIATE free trade deals that are open and fair - of benefit to our people and nation. BREXIT will fail if the British leaders don’t ditch the EU globalist mindset.

We have free trade, but our trade reps make sure we lose the benefits in crony capitalism, bad trade deals and open immigration/invasion. We have a bunch of treasonous, guilt ridden globalists in power who could care less about America and Americans. Unlike the Swiss...

Wow! That gives me goosebumps!

We can say the Roman Coliseum is parallel to the EU parliament building: both symbolize tyranny over the European world. 

Rome was the terror of the Ancient world.  They forced the conquered peoples of many lands to fight each other to the death.  Christians and others were fed to lions and other beasts (Damnatio ad bestias) in the Coliseum.

Agreed, Albion.   And the origins of the Tower of Babel in scripture should also give pause.

The Tower of Babel was a myth -- in the Hebrew Bible's Book of Genesis -- meant to explain the origin of different languages.  According to the story:

A united humanity of the generations following the Great Flood, speaking a single language and migrating from the east, came to the land of Shinar‎.  There they agreed to build a city and a tower "tall enough to reach heaven".  Seeing this, God confounded their speech so that they could no longer understand each other and scattered them around the world.

The EU's Parliament has zero authority.  It's the EU's unelected bureaucrats and masterminds who call all the shots.  And those fat-cat elites are no doubt amused as they gaze down into that glass-and-steel echo chamber where the national delegates speak many tongues, but babble for no purpose.

But hope is not lost!  Read the words of R. W. Emerson:

Society always consists, in greatest part, of young and foolish persons.  The old, who have seen through the hypocrisy of courts and statesmen, die, and leave no wisdom to their sons.  They believe their own newspaper, as their fathers did at their age.  

With such an ignorant and deceivable majority, States would soon run to ruin, were it not for limitations, beyond which the folly and ambition of governors cannot go.  Things have their laws, as well as men; and things refuse to be trifled with.

Property will be protected.  Corn will not grow, unless it is planted and manured; but the farmer will not plant or hoe it, unless the chances are a hundred to one, that he will cut and harvest it.

Look at the attributes of a person -- his wit and his moral energy.  They will exercise their proper force regardless of any law or extinguishing tyranny.  If not overtly, then covertly.  If not for the law, then against it -- with right or by might.

Yeah - Started off well, and gave a lot to the world. Mankind seems to not be able to keep a good thing going - he wins his freedom, then he gives it back ... he become enlightened, then bored that things are going too well, he retreats into the dark and the irrational and the greedy.

But then ... cycle of life ... Things are born, they grow, they bloom, they retreat. Highly unlikely the US will be the US (the good US we know and love and admire and respect) in 4000 years ... but she's not ready to go the way of all great things ... yet.

the British seas fishing rights were sold by the fishermen to British conglomerates who sold them onwards. The EU didn't sell them

Britain sold our fish quotas for a quick buck

But it turns out that foreign firms already own a big slice of British fishing rights and will continue to do so permanently. Why? Because British companies sold their quotas. Spanish firms own 88 per cent of Welsh fishing rights and most of the quota from the Bristol Channel to the Scottish border.

...The fishing industry has largely gone the way of so much of British business, manufacturing and utilities that have been sold off to Chinese, American and other foreign investors with the approval of successive governments.

Thanks for this intel. This is what happens when you lose confidence in your own industries.

Investing in your own country and people is a sacred duty that President Trump realizes.

[Cronos]

Correct. Trump’s policies are revitalising the American economy
