You people have chosen to be the captains of your own destiny! Nicely done!
I have complete faith, that, left alone, the Brits will find their way to being the prosperous, freedom loving, independent nation it had always been prior to its dalliance with globalization. True, the cards are stacked against them, but, they’ve always been so.
For those worried that they can’t make it without the EU, I can offer these words of wisdom from one of our most brilliant founding fathers ……
“To be thrown upon one’s own resources, is to be cast into the very lap of fortune; for our faculties then undergo a development and display an energy of which they were previously unsusceptible” …… Ben Franklin
I suppose I should leave it at that. But, I won’t. There are some in Scotland harping about another referendum for their own independence from the U.K. The Scots overwhelmingly voted to remain in the EU.
I wouldn’t give it much thought. By all means, if the people of Scotland believe they’re better off without the people of the rest of the UK, and I would support their endeavor, not that they’d need my support nor care for it. But, I would point out a troublesome point. I don’t believe an independent Scotland would qualify to be part of the Eurozone. I’m not sure on the larger question of the EU proper, but, without the Euro, Scotland would have a very hard row to hoe, and, still be encumbered by the bureaucracy of the EU. In my estimation, it would be suicidal for the Scots to leave the U.K., but, I’m all in favor of choosing your own path. Wales made it clear where they stood. Were it not for London, the vote wouldn’t have been close in England. An extra bump to the people of Wales. I understand they were in line for some good freebies from the EU next year, but, still opted out! Good on you!
Leftards and globalists worldwide are now $hitting and spinning like no one’s business! I think this bodes well for Trump. And, BTW, it was a brilliant move on Trump to be in the UK at this great moment in history. The parallels between what’s happening in the UK and the US are unmistakable. The difference is now that the elite in the UK realize they have to reckon with the proles. We still have people like Hillary and Obama.

Yep, and even up here, we have people that are just like them. Apparently we have to live with it for 4 years. And Alberta, well less than that, so it’s going to be rough for a bit, but we will endure like always.
And Trump 2016, because the alternative is you know who. I have said before the lesser of two evils, but with one you know what you’re going to get the other you don’t.
They said that about Ronald Reagan, too; and Reagan was so much better, though not perfect. I’ll say it again, Hillary Rodham, back during the Watergate hearing days, was censured (or fired) for wrong doing. Not many remember that.
Still, those of us who took the time to learn who Ronald Reagan was knew that he wasn’t the Devil Incarnate, and neither is Donald Trump.
Exactly, and as with this Brexit, Ezra puts it nicely.
He’s right – the violent extreme Leftists in Germany have the slogan “NO BORDERS NO NATiON” – EXACTLY what Merkel does – and her FinMin evil mastermind genius Schaeuble has phantasized for years of forging the superstate. So the conservatives-in-name-only and the Black Bloc sing from the same hymn sheet…. (And, German AntiFa also gets SUBSIDIES by the state – they get “autonomous youth centres” in top inner city lots – rent-free…. and use them as their weapons chambers. Famously e.g. the “Rote Flora” in Hamburg, where they are squatting for decades now. The state keeps extreme leftist terrorists like pets.)
James OT. This is very believable?

Is Attorney General Lynch participating in ‘Summer of Chaos?’
Private Twitter exchanges obtained from #BlackLivesMatter leader DeRay McKesson’s hacked phone seem to indicate that Attorney General Loretta Lynch is at least passively participating in the upcoming “Summer of Chaos” aimed at shutting down both the Republican and Democrat National Conventions in July.
By shutting down conventions and creating chaos into November, #BlackLivesMatter activists want to so disrupt the process that President Barack Obama has an excuse to implement martial law and cancel the election.
An exchange between McKesson and #BlackLivesMatter activist Samuel Sinyangwe revealed this:
So far we have 2,000 people being bused in from different cities and another 6,000 to 8,000 expected to drive into Cleveland for the convention.
@deray: I spoke with Sam earlier today and he confirmed that there will be around 10,000 protestors disrupting convention. Plans are being made for earlier cities as well for upcoming Trump events. Ads have already been placed looking for people to help.

One problem with this, at least for those who are aware of history, is that in 1860 there was a Federal presidential and Congressional election. In 1861 a war started. in 1864, a Federal presidential and Congressional election was still held. Do they really want a repeat of 1861?
Do we really not want a repeat of 1861. We have even more ‘slave masters’, with greater power and control.
A repeat of 1861 would mean attacking the nation that legally secedes; so; an EUROGENDFOR occupation of Downing Street and some scorched Earth tactics in the M5 ring. Or maybe a U boat blockade.
True enough, that is.
Dirk, there’s secession to escape slavery, and there’s secession to keep it.
The point is, all European nations and Canada managed to abolish slavery by simple lawmaking. That war was not about slavery but about forging a superstate. So, to forever destroy the nations of Europe, a war would be needed.
The South rejected the law-making they knew would be coming from Lincoln.
Yes, the Morrill tariff.
“Congress used this situation to begin discussing a new tariff act, later called the Morrill Tariff of 1861. However, those debates were met with such Southern hostility that the South seceded before the act was passed. ”

Lincoln played the age old Ordo Ab Chao game – just like Bismarck in France – only that Bismarck didn’t kill 500,000 people.
The civil war ended all debates about state rights.

No, it didn’t, though plenty want people to believe that. That war only settled the secession question. The Constitution did not address it, for there were two mechanisms within it to amend it. The Anti-Federalists wanted a Bill of Rights to enumerate what powers the States and the People lent to the Federal Government and what powers they didn’t lend to the Federal Government.
Dead letter that they are, to the Progressives, the 9th and 10th Amendments codify the Rights and Powers that the States and the People still hold. Why do you think that George Wallace was assassinated (and no, Wallace was *not* a Lester Maddox or Orval Faubus; for Wallace wanted the State of Alabama to chart its own course to end Jim Crow, not have it imposed on her).
*er, well, suffered an assassination attempt. Sorry about that.
And any emancipation law-making they thought might be coming from Lincoln, despite his denials. The South opposed the Northern states right to not support slavery.
Just look how hard it’s been for us the shed our cheap labor from Mexico.
So slavery is bad but murdering 500,000 people is fine and people will build monuments for you, aha, now I get it.
Both are pretty bad. The point was, to create a new nation based on it, is equally bad.
I’m all for creating a new Britain to escape it.
One other thing, was Soros shorting the pound again? Was he caught in a short squeeze?
He might well be short the pound – he did go long Gold again a few months back so he clearly anticipated crisis – but there’s no hint of him being caught in a squeeze.
Okay. Yes it seems that Soros was shorting the pound. The drop helps him cover it. There was a Motley Fool article up that I looked at and laughed at, a bit. Stilted writing bothers me.
It turns out Soros was long the pound and lost money but he hedged against it by shorting Deutsche Bank and made more than good for it this way. Deutsche Bank is undergoing Lehman-like meltdown at the moment.

London, being a majority non-white city, voted 60% Bremain as well, as the London Muslims want more islamic flooding of the city. We can expect White Flight to accelerate as they now have a Muslim mayor. I expect property values in the inner city to plummet like they did under the 95% income tax regime of Labour from the 50ies to the 70ies, at that time this gave rise to inner city squatter punks which turned into the 1976 creation of punk rock as a commercial entity.
This time the collape of London will turn it into a new Beirut of the 1980ies.
