After Brexit, ousting U.S. military influence across the European nations? John Kerry in London meets with FM Hammond. Will maintain our special relationship. Worry about Leave consequences for TTIP and UK trade negotiations with the EU. U.S. will maintain our strong military ties as in coming weeks we’ll meet in Warsaw over NATO, here in London over Libya and Syria, and in Washington we’ll have a security meeting over Daesh (Islamic State). Yep as I have reported, the UK is a US foothols inside Europe to wage war.
France & Germany plan to lead post-Brexit EU reform | RT |
Paris and Berlin want to reinforce integration within the EU after the British referendum, bolstering common defense, migration and fiscal ties among the members, media revealed citing a French-German memorandum.
A common French-German memorandum entitled ‘A strong Europe in the world of uncertainties’ was released by Poland’s TVN broadcaster on Monday. The document is said to be authored by French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault and his German counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
The nine-page memo [so-called “leaked-memo” is published on the German Foreign Affairs website – Oui] comes after the British voted in a referendum to leave the EU, a decision which the document describes as a loss of “not only a member state, but a host of history, tradition and experience” that the UK has shared with Europe throughout the last decades.
The document, which the Polish broadcaster claimed was a bombshell plan to create a “super-state” led by a Paris-Berlin alliance, proposed closer cooperation on internal and external security, the migrant crisis, as well as a change in the EU’s fiscal and economic policy.
“The EU will in future be more active in crisis management,” the memo reportedly said, proposing to introduce the “European Security Compact” – a number of military means able to deal with emerging crises, including a deployable high-readiness forces, developing common military spending plans as well as investing in conflict prevention.
The “European Security Compact” places special emphasis on internal security, mentioning the creation of a “European platform for intelligence cooperation,” improvements of data exchange and the establishment of an EU civil protection corps.

The Blairites in Labour should shut the f*** up.
Soon there will be openings in the conservative party of Cameron.
Good thing the EU referendum has shaken up British politics … the start of a revolution for economics with a social face. If the elites across all party lines don’t see the signs of the times they will be ousted.
It’s not up to Corbyn to unite the Tories … it’s their own Boris Johnson who took the lead to vote for Brexit and undermine PM David Cameron. Cameron only pushed the EU referendum to keep Ukip’s Farage from gaining more seats in Parliament. It was fear, not strength that caused today’s turmoil.
Labour lost all its seats in Scotland to the Nationalists due to former leader Milliband’s faulty policy. The Scots wanted to stay in the European Union. The Scots have been short-changed by Tories and Labour in the past. The promises of David Cameron made before the Scots’ referendum on independence have NOT been kept.
Looking at last Thursday’s results, one must subtract the Scottish votes! The Scots wiil seek a new referendum for independence. Northern-Ireland won’t join Ireland, perhaps an union with Scotland would offer an opportunity.
The Tories have a habit of not listening to their constituents or a large majority of all Brits. Just look at France’s Hollande and the mess he made of the Socialist party by confronting the Labor unions. Hollande stepped outside of parliament and democracy and ruled by edict. Waiting for the next French Revolution.
Europe must grasp this opportunity to drastically change its position versus the alliance with the UK and US on capitalism and neo-colonialism through means of perpetual war. Down with TTIP and stop NATO expansion into unchartered territory. Stop globalisation to avoid paying a living wage in the home nation. It’s small businesses in London and across Europe to hire cheap labor from Eastern Europe instead of keeping Brits/nationals on the pay-roll.
Nothing has changed in Europe for the last 50 years … companies in The Netherlands, for example, bringing migrants from Spain, Italy, Greece, Morocco, Turkey, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania …. get the idea?
As the saying goes in London City: the cleaning lady pays her share of taxes, the president-director manages to avoid most taxation. The inequality in the western world will force an abrupt change in politics and cause a revolution. It’s a matter of time.
Another example of classic colonialism is seen with the British citizens from its former Commonwealth of nations: Pakistan and India. The Dutch with its vast empire across Indonesia, keeping its citizens captive. The Dutch of the Reformed church participated in slave trade from Africa to the Americas and bear responsibility for apartheid in South Africa.
Before World War II, the Dutch-East Indies empire consisted of a vast majority of Muslims… how so Judeo-Christian culture and values. Believe the bs of Geert Wilders and his pro-Israel policy position. The Dutch couldn’t stand five years of German occupation and atrocities from 1940-45. How about the nations colonised by western powers throughout recent history?
The North Atlantic Alliance, NATO, colonizing nations should be warned their position is untenable. Brexit offers a great opportunity for change… president Obama and U.S. Congress have been a great disappointment.
○ Brexit ‘a Warning’ for Hillary Clinton, Says Council on Foreign Relations President
Re-posted from earlier diary by Frank Schnittger – Reversing Brexit?
Watch the MSM and the ‘Westminster Game’ unfold to undo the result of the EU referendum. Blocking the political proces for a Artikel 51 Declaration. This will immensely irritate the 27 member states of the EU. Once the Brexit is initiated, the UK will fall prey to EU control and demands in the negotiations. How far has the Empire fallen! The Queen should abdicate while she can and hold onto her properties (castles) in Scotland. Soon she may require a visa to travel. 😉

British establishment rearing its ugly head – holding the EU Hostage!
Unbelievable, just listened to Osborne’s speech and watched a few Tory MPs talking about willing to negotiate from a position of strength … using the voluntary decision to invoke Article 50 to force preferential trade deals with the EU after Brexit. The Eton elitists and arrogance know no limit. Thank you Brits for the vote, don’t let the door hit you on the a$$ exiting Europe and please … never return!
Suggestion by Tory leadership immediately shot down by Berlin …

Leaked or planted. I’m going with the latter.
Well, so the EU referendum leads the Brits to a doomsday scenario of the Pound and global stocks … don’t expect this Tory government to come up with a contingency plan … the next elected administration … next generation will suffer, let them think of a plan. Oh, it WAS the older generation who voted FOR Britain and was opposed to the EU bureaucracy. Waiting for a Post Mortem … what an utter bs of the Lord Chancellor!! In contrast, Pontius Pilate was innocent … the Brits have the arrogancy and stupidity of back stabbers like Brutus as the Empire Falls (Fails). Let the 27 nations of Europe with its 444 million people move on to an adequate leadership in a new age.

Her trust in PM Tony Blair on the Iraq War and her record for military intervention in Libya and Syria, makes her a corporate tool of MIC.
A natural ally of and representative as a Blairite. Her letter started the no-confidence vote to remove Jeremy Corbyn as party leader
before the coming General Election.
“If we’d had that strong, effective, decisive leadership, that might have made a difference.”
More and more there is a comparison between the people’s choice Jeremy Corbyn, the advocates of the Tony Blair years as Labour leader and
in the U.S. election between Bernie Sanders and the policy of DINO HRC. Look at the voting track records of two main actors to remove Corbyn.

It is of course entirely typical that those who kept silent whilst the party rules were bent, abused and simply made

○ Labour Friends of Israel: Corbyn a poor choice, support Liz Kendall for Labour leadership | RT – Aug. 2015 |
All across Europe in a multiple party parliamentary system, the major parties are slpitting into factions. Could be part of the digital society and individualisering … the party needs to meet the demands of a changing electorate. The Dutch electoral system in becoming clogged with multiple parties vying to please voters … taylor made policy platforms. Even a party specifically for animal rights and the elderly citizens. In the UK there is a multiple party system, however with district representation it’s not a majority rule or equal representation. The votes for a third party candidate are lost to the two major brands: Conservatives and Labour. In his analysis, the author sees the disenfranchisement of voters leading to anger and the feeling the politicians of Westminster are not listening and do not care. Mainly political parties are moving to the right due to the populist anti-immigration groups and to keep voters engaged.
Both Pim Fortuyn and Geert Wilders got the early support from left-wing voters from Labour. As xenophobia and fear of refugees became common discourse in the press and on social media, the right-wing support broadened to the middle-class and well educated persons.
It’s truly an agony to see each MP interpret the result of the EU referendum for pure self-interest. How long can representatives of the people keep fooling themselves? Same on the European level where the leaders of 28-1 nations of the EU meet. No consensus and no direction. In Westminster, the backbenchers thought the moment ripe for a hatchet day. So sad as the world howls and cries for missing out on opportunities to put in place a strategy to close the gap of inequality. The establishment candidate won the presidential nomination for the Democrats in the US, the Labour MPs will offer their leader Corbyn on the altar to appease their gods of corporations and military might (i.e. war). The financial crisis will broaden and worsen bedore politicians sit down and work on solving the acute problems in society.
