Why would THEY want it to continue?

A bloodless way to start the Fourth Reich?

Because they get what they’ve always wanted without going to war.

They’re gonna have quite a nasty fight to determine how to come up with the money the UK had been paying into the EU budget.

The whole thing will go belly up. Its only a matter of time. Britain was very wise to get out first.

The EU was to be the Fourth Reich—hidden behind the leftist rhetoric.

Well, I’ve heard that Germany carries most of the financial burden of the EU. Why would THEY want it to continue?
Germany learned that political and economic domination of Europe via the EU is cheaper than military occupation.

The Anglo-Germanic monarchic family of Sachsen Coburg und Gotha that changed their name to the House of Windsor in 1917 is economically dominant even through the Great War and World War II by clandestinely playing both sides of the fence. (The monarchy and their Rothschild bankers are together worth over $125 Trillion, in a present-day recreation (if not extension) of the House of Habsburg, Roman Curia and the Fuggers.) Part of their wealth owes to skimming homage from the US via the privately-owned Federal Reserve.

They maintain dominance by procuring weapons of war, paying for them, breaking them, while throughout investing in technology of war to do it all again by "Kick[ing] it up a notch!" as Emeril would say.

Through those and other wars, they've inspired (e.g, with Wagnerian music) the youth and patriotism among their serfs on all sides--to kill and defend "all things sacred" to their minions' and ultimately, to their own demonic roots. They're Satanic and on the inside all resemble Aleister Crowley and Jimmie Saville far more than their handsome and beautiful Cambridge skin.

The goal is indeed world domination, through GHW Bush's Third Way, for which they intend we will all clamor in the wake of their serial attempts at wiping us out by the hundreds of millions while they would intend to continue their orgies in the thousands of Deep Underground Military Bases.

Mao Tse Tung was arguably Yale's Skull and Bones' most important student through that group's Yale In China project (Yali). GHWB as US Ambassador to China continued the progress toward The Third Way (an amalgam of capitalism and (dare I say "kinder, gentler"?) socialist/totalitarianism that forms the basis of the NWO's plans for the world).

After they will have wiped the Western World away with Islamic Goon Squads, one scenario has the Chinese populating Europe and North America.

Why do you think they paid for Greece? It’s the cost of being in charge.

Who are "they" exactly? I didn't know that "they" bought Greece.

This silly democrat farce of an impeachment trial has taken up all the oxygen in the room allowing Boris Johnson to accomplish what Mays could not. Last night at 6pm eastern time the British United Kingdom formally withdrew from the European Union to become an independent nation once more. This is their Brexit Day. Their Independence day should be celebrated annually, it’s historic. Other nations are looking for this to be a template. I know the dutch are also anxious to see how this can work.

The british now have till 12/31/20 to complete the work of executing various agreements on trade, data sharing, security and other items. During that period they will still have to abide by the EU rules. After that period if they dont have the trade agreements and security and other items in place, they’ll be operating without them. That means penalties, tariffs, legal risks, extradition agreements. But they’ll have finally tossed the yoke of the EU tyrants without the bloodshed typically accompanied by these kinds of separations. They should proceed with the execution of the separation structures as if they were under the attack of war. That would make the analogy complete.

In either case...
Congratulations to the people of the United Kingdom.
Today is your independence day.

I wouldn’t get too hyped up yet. Today was “Brexit,” but they haven’t even decided what it means yet, so they could take most of it away.

The demise of the EU will soon accelerate more and more. The UK and Italy each contribute almost 12% of the money to the EU. Lots of hands out and fewer countries to shoulder the load. When the yellow vests succede in France, they will soon exit the EU as well. They pay about 15% in to the hopper now. The only wealthy country that will be left is Germany. How long will they prop it up. Especially after the EU saddled them with so many muslims.

Quite so. The probability of a no-deal Brexit is as high now as it's ever been, possibly higher. An absurdly close deadline, December this year, has been imposed by Johnson for the completion of negotiations with the EU on the future relationship, not just on trade, but in all the many sectors where the EU and UK institutions have become deeply entwined - educational, scientific, cultural etc. etc.

Those negotiations haven't even begun - they couldn't start until the UK had finally approved the withdrawal agreement, which only happened last week. The going rate for much simpler negotiations (eg with Canada or S. Korea) is 4-5 years.

It's being said (who's to know?) that this absurd deadline has been imposed by Johnson with the deliberate expectation of failure (which can then conveniently be blamed on the EU), and that no-deal has been his intended landing zone from the outset.

Always out to pigeonhole someone, eh?

Was it the Mao info that set you off?

The meme that Joseph wasn’t really killed by that lion was just a conspiracy theory, don’t you know! How his brothers’ false story that would grieve their father so was concocted has been inexplicable to scores of millions over thousands of years.

Let’s deal with facts and Truth will out!

I think a ‘no-deal’ brexit is as good as any. It is a high cost penalty to pay for failure to pursue the completion of this task with the pace and priority of war. I think that the important part of this historic moment lay in its bureaucratic nature. The fact that this ‘Union’ was dissolved without bloodshed is a monumental achievement in my opinion and should not be overlooked. If they’re going to do a bureaucratic process as a replacement for warfare then they’re going to have to proceed with that process as if under attack.

There’s no going back now. This union stands dissolved and there’s other parts watching this model and noting how they can improve on it.

[I think a ‘no-deal’ brexit is as good as any. It is a high cost penalty to pay for failure to pursue the completion of this task with the pace and priority of war. ]


It may be that Boris’s choice was between hard Brexit and no Brexit. The EU obviously opposes Brexit and seeks to impose serious penalties lest more EU members leave. In the UK, large bureaucratic and political constituencies seek to prevent Brexit by dragging it out and pushing for more referendums until they get the Remain result they want. And every day that Brexit is dragged out inflicts damage on the economy as businesses defer significant investment until the trade and regulatory picture is clear. So a hard Brexit may be the only option on the table if he doesn’t want to be trapped into Remaining.
