“Cold Anger” They’re Still Not Getting It – The Brexit Media ‘Splodey Heads Continue…
The Last Refuge ^ | June 25, 2016 | sundance

At the heart of the common sense information surrounding the Brexit vote a few ordinary and uncomfortable points continue to be avoided by the echo-chambered media elite who have retreated to their safe spaces:

♦ First Point – The U.K. was sending Brussels $500 million per week of their wealth to be redistributed to the lesser than affiliates.  In essence, Classic Fabian/Socialist Economics: From each according to their ability – to each according to their need.

Simultaneously, to the parasitic withdrawal – inbound immigration was putting unsustainable financial strain on the social/societal welfare systems if the host.

♦ Second Point – Inbound, seemingly uncontrolled, mass immigration to the U.K. was twice the level of job creation in the same time period.  That reality is unsustainable by any concept of societal economics.  Obviously the displaced and impacted workers were/are the residents of the host country.

When you stand back and take a historical look at this EU construct, the Brexit vote is simply a predictable rebuke of the Fabian Socialist school of economics.  However, that common sense practical acceptance doesn’t stop the academics born from the school of “World Citizenry” from continuing to look bewildered...

The dejected REMAIN crowd seems to be the younger naive euro-hipsters with an uninformed opinion in one hand, and a Starbucks coffee in the other.

Jamestown Colony had similar food shortage problems due to collectivism. The winter of 1609-1610 is referred to as “The Starving Time.” (Actually, I learned it as, “The Great Starving Time” in Virginia history more years ago than I want to recount.) Over one-quarter of the colonists died that winter.

Have the elites asked themselves yet their favorite question: “Why do the people hate us?”

Don’t forget migrants and the international finance-casino “workers”

I spent 25 years with the State of Alaska as a drafting tech/cartographer preparing plans and maps of highway projects. In March of 1992 George Bush I issued an executive order that all FHWA funded road jobs shall be done using the metric system. We spent two years working with that garbage until Newt and the boys said "forget it" in 1994.
If not for that, every mileage sign in our country would currently be in kilometers.

And, as long as they insist on driving on the
wrong side of the road we can’t expect much to
change.

Have they invoked “climate change” yet?

Yep! Some asylum escapee was talking about how this was going to worsen "global warming".

Agincourt

Trafalgar

Brexit

Landmark events for British freedom

Longbow

Ships-of-the-line

Votes

Instruments for British freedom

Britain’s political, economic and cultural subjugation to federalists and islamists is halted for the first time in ~50 years — this will be a landmark in British freedom and history.

I really do not understand all the teeth gnashing and wailing. Norway and Switzerland never entered the EU, and they are just fine.

The vote counters must have messed up the fix. The media certainly seems shocked.

Bank of America former executive, french Jean Monnet, re post WW2 economies:

“There will be no peace in Europe, if the states are reconstituted on the basis of national sovereignty... The countries of Europe are too small to guarantee their peoples the necessary prosperity and social development. The European states must constitute themselves into a federation...”

The man was under the thumb of the American government, and a master architect of the post-war economies in Europe, designed to stabilize Europe and bolster against cold-war Soviet influence. The Telegraph posted a very interesting article on the subject on April 26. Link here - also some additional links about Jean Monnet — Telegraph article for those wishing to click through: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2016/04/27/the-european-union-always-was-a-cia-project-as-brexiteers-discov/
