The British
people will vote in a referendum on June 23, 2016 whether the U.K. will stay in the European Union or exit, hence
the abbreviation Brexit. President Obama visited the U.K. to support the “Remain”
in the EU movement and attacked the “Leave” campaign.
Nile
Gardiner criticized President Obama for his involvement in trying to influence
the referendum of another nation. After President Obama’s speech, Gardiner
added, the polls increased by 3 to 4 percent in favor of Brexit.
At the
center of the debate are U.K.’s economic freedom, economic development, secure
borders, massive immigration, and self-determination as a sovereign nation. According
to Nile Gardiner, “Britain is no longer a sovereign nation.”
As a
pan-European behemoth, EU is not really interested in peace and prosperity for
all, even though originally, following the two world wars, that was probably a
noble goal. As Paul Watson said “EU is about obliterating nation-states and
replacing them with its own Byzantine United States of Europe and seizing raw
power.” EU has become a “sprawling empire, it is not a free trade zone.”
How is the
European Union an empire and not a free trade zone? The EU has a central bank,
a president, one currency, criminal justice system, passport, flag, anthem, all
“characteristics of a nation-state, a pan-European nationality, while they are
criticizing us [U.K.} for our nationalist views.”
Non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) are paid to inundate the waves with messages that EU must
have more control; EU grabs more power and pretends that it did so in response
to popular demand even though the voting public was never fully aware of EU’s
true intentions. It is a classical modus operandi which has been employed at
the state and local levels around the world in order to implement Sustainable
Development, the lynchpin of United Nation’s Agenda 21/2030 without any real
public input or voting.
“The
American people would never accept the loss of self-determination,” added Nile
Gardiner. Fearmongering to force the British people to stay in the EU is not
working anymore. “The British people are clamoring for their freedom; they are
clamoring to decide their own future. … And I hope that the American people will
support them,” he concluded.
Responsible
for the implementation of all domestic policies under Prime Minister David
Cameron, and a personal friend, Steve Hilton found himself on the opposite side
of his former boss in regards to Brexit. He fully supports U.K.’s exit from the
EU as a way to bolster economic development and increase safety and prosperity
for all British citizens. “EU has three presidents, none of whom are elected.”
“EU is seen
as a version of NAFTA. It is not NAFTA,” Hilton said. It is a question of
domestic policy, he explained. “Much more than half of what the British
government was doing on a weekly basis, was implementing the EU’s decisions
which we did not vote for and most of which we actually disagreed with. There
was nothing we could do about it because we were not in control.” Unelected
bureaucrats in Brussels made those decisions for domestic policy, environmental
policy, everything is determined this way. Philosophically, he argued, British
citizens believe in the freedom from administrative powers that constrain their
ability to run their own lives.
When the EU
Commission has its own government as well as the legislative body, with no
separation of powers, then that is classic definition of tyranny, not
democracy. Many believe that the EU Parliament is a “ceremonial position” with
no real power.
The NGOs and
the MEPs are the real power brokers, representing the powerful elites behind
the scenes. It is generally believed that the MEPs earning up to 740% more than
the average citizen, free shopping sprees, gasoline, haircuts, 12,000 euros per
month staff budget and other perks, buys their allegiance to the EU. “MEPs make
laws which they exempt themselves from.”
Every time
referendums were held to make decisions that affected certain countries, if the
results did not meet the stated goals of the EU, the vote was ignored and they
were forced to vote again until they returned with the results the EU desired.
For example,
Paul Watson explained, “Denmark, Ireland, France, the Netherlands, and Greece
have voted to reject the Maastricht Treaty, the Niece Treaty, the Lisbon
Treaty, the EU Constitution, the euro bailout, which was illegal under their
own “democratic” laws, the votes were ignored.” As Jean-Claude Juncker, the
current President of the European Commission, said, “There can be no democratic
choice against the European Treaties.” http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-31082656
The root of
the EU problem, KT McFarland said, was failed multiculturalism. The premise of
this policy was that no nation wanted to sit in judgment of another nation,
they were all equals, and it was perfectly fine to allow ethnic groups to set
up enclaves, their countries within a western nation, in which to live off of
the generous host welfare system, while making no effort to adapt to the new
country or even have any allegiance to it. Countries, where multiculturalism is
entrenched, will never be the same. McFarland cites Germany and Sweden as
classical examples.
Another
serious problem is national security which cannot be guaranteed with open
borders. “In terms of security, Europe is committing assisted suicide,” said
McFarland.
When EU
judges say that “immigrants convicted of violent crimes cannot be deported from
the U.K. unless their safety can be guaranteed in their home countries,” they
are putting the safety of British citizens at further risk.
Most nations
do not have adequate means, militarily or otherwise, to stop the flood of
refugees. Putting up barbed wire to stop
the flood is ludicrous. What drives those refugees, McFarland said, is the
conflict in the Middle which is not going to stop any time soon. Once negotiations
allow five more states to join the EU, including Turkey, Serbia, and Albania,
there is a potential of 80 million Turks migrating westward to countries with
the most generous welfare systems.
There is
already a shortage of housing in the U.K., “ten buyers for every home for sale.”
According to Paul Watson, there are stories coming out of Sweden and Germany which
describe “the government as making their own citizens homeless in order to accommodate
Muslim migrants that have nothing but contempt for our culture, people from a
regressive culture and belief system.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNJ05NfM-4Y
The strain
on the economies of those countries that are taking in so many refugees under
the multiculturalist policy will be enormous – feeding them, housing them,
educating them, and medically treating them. “The most wanted man in the world,
whose poster was at every train station, at every bus stop, was hiding in plain
sight,” added McFarland.
Economic
pressure, culture pressure, and a national security pressure through open
borders are issues that British citizens must address on June 23. Additionally,
wealth confiscation through U.K.’s 350 million pounds a week sent to EU, money
that they cannot control how it is going to be spent, rigid EU regulations that
destroy small businesses that cannot comply with, unemployment caused by
massive exodus of cheap labor destroy the middle class. As Hilton said, we
cannot accept millions of waiters from Eastern Europe, without our own British waiters
becoming unemployed.
British
fishermen have lost fishing grounds due to EU rules and the fishing industry
has been devastated in waters where they’ve been fishing for centuries. “The EU
has been paying fishermen to destroy their boats,” said Paul Watson.
Trade should
improve once Brexit happens because EU does not allow Britain to negotiate its
own trade deals. “EU needs the U.K., “we are their biggest export market.” To
say that Britain will have to go to the “back of the queue” is ridiculous and
irresponsible, said Nile Gardiner. Switzerland is not in the EU and still
trades with them but is flourishing economically precisely because it is not in
the EU.
Paul Watson
made the best description why Brexit is good for Britain: “A vote to leave is a
vote for the people, for small business, for lower taxes, for cheaper household
bills, for lower fuel costs, for cheaper food prices, and against the obnoxious
elites in Brussels.”
It really is
a vote for personal freedom and self-determination.
