Haaretz Confirms: Britain Has Been Operating As An Israeli Puppet Within The EU
Gilad Atzmon
“With Brexit, Israel Loses a Major Asset in the European Union,” Haaretz reports today.
“Britain helped moderate and balance EU decisions about the peace process, blunt criticism and even harness the member states against anti-Israel moves at the UN; voices sympathetic to the Palestinian cause could now become more dominant.”
The Israelis have started to recognize that the Jewish State: “has lost a significant asset in the European Union…, Britain leaving would not serve Israeli interests, especially on the Palestinian issue.” But why was Britain an Israeli asset? How was Britain reduced to act as an Israeli colony? Simple. British foreign affairs are dominated by the Jewish Lobby.
Trump, Clinton and Sanders on Brexit
Stephen Lendman
During his April London visit, Obama opposed Brexit, touting nonexistent “single market” benefits.
Trump backed Brexit, saying in response to Thursday’s vote “they took back their country. It’s a great thing…fantastic.”
“People are angry all over the world,” suggesting other EU countries may follow Britain’s lead.
He failed to explain what’s most important. Thursday’s Brexit vote was non-binding. Parliament alone has final say on whether Britain remains in the EU or leaves - a lengthy process to unfold slowly over the coming months, likely well into a new US administration.
Unindicted War Criminal Tony Blair Calls Brexit a Coup
Stephen Lendman
Britain’s most reviled and discredited leader when leaving office in June 2007 allied with Bill Clinton’s rape of Yugoslavia, George Bush’s naked aggression on Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as Israel’s war on Palestine.
Greed now drives him. So does selling influence, becoming super-rich over the last decade, using secretive offshore companies and trusts, remaining unaccountable for involvement in genocidal high crimes - from Belgrade to Kabul to Baghdad to Palestine.
Responsible editors wouldn’t touch his rubbish. The New York Times featured it, Blair taking full advantage, mocking a democratic process, calling Brexit a “stunning coup.”
His deplorable record as prime minister featured loyal service to bankers and war profiteers, public welfare be damned. On leaving office, he failed trying to reinvent himself.
Brexit and the Derivatives Time Bomb
Ellen Brown
Brexit could trigger a $500 trillion derivatives meltdown, by forcing the EU to allow insolvent member governments and banks to write down debt. Italy is in financial crisis and is already petitioning for that concession. How to avoid collapse of the massive derivatives house of cards? Alternatives are considered.
Sovereign debt – the debt of national governments – has ballooned from $80 trillion to $100 trillion just since 2008. Squeezed governments have been driven to radical austerity measures, privatizing public assets, slashing public services, and downsizing work forces in a futile attempt to balance national budgets. But the debt overhang just continues to grow.
Torries Intend Greater Austerity Following Brexit Vote
Stephen Lendman
Political fallout from Thursday’s Brexit vote didn’t take long to unfold. David Cameron began it by announcing his resignation, effective when Torries meet in October, he said.
On Tuesday, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne’s greater austerity announcement didn’t surprise. Days before last Thursday’s vote, he claimed Brexit would cause a 30 billion pound public finance hole - public health service, education, transport and other spending cuts needed, as well as tax hikes to make up for the alleged shortfall. At the time, he said “(f)ar from freeing up money to spend on public services…quitting the EU would mean less money. Billions less. It’s a lose-lose situation for British families.”
Brexit supporters responded by accusing him of threatening to break key Tory 2015 campaign pledges, notably Cameron’s “manifesto for working people,” saying “as a majority government, we will be able to deliver all of it.”
Massacres: Where Have all the Islamist Gone?
James Petras
Introduction
Over the past fifty plus years, over 125 mass shootings/massacres have occurred within the United States but not one perpetrator has been identified as a trained member of an international Islamist terrorist organization.
A review of the massacres will shed considerable light on the political, cultural and socio-psychological features of US society. The frequent and intensely bloody nature of these mass shootings are a distinctly US phenomenon. The high proportion of fatalities over wounded survivors is a reflection of the availability of high-power weapons in the US and the poorly coordinated police response – where SWAT place ‘force protection’ over saving lives.
False Prophets Hype Brexit Disaster
Stephen Lendman
Public sentiment in Britain, across Europe, in America and elsewhere is being manipulated to believe Brexit assures economic and financial chaos.
New world order con man/billionaire speculator George Soros, known for profiting from color revolutions, imperial wars and neoliberal harshness warned of disaster from Brexit, saying:
“Now the catastrophic scenario that many feared has materialized…the disintegration of the EU (is) practically irreversible,"
“Britain eventually may or may not be relatively better off than other countries by leaving the EU, but its economy and people stand to suffer significantly in the short to medium term.”
Turmoil in Britain Following Brexit
Stephen Lendman
Major disruptions rarely happen, Brexit the latest, a surprise to most observers, reverberations felt in Britain, across Europe, in America and elsewhere.
David Cameron is stepping down as UK prime minister, though delaying his departure until October. Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour leadership is threatened.
Over half his shadow cabinet ministers intend standing down on Sunday or later in the week - following Brexit and his sacking Hillary Benn overnight Saturday, his foreign policy chief, saying “he has lost confidence in” Corbyn through a spokesman.
Kerry in Brussels and London
Stephen Lendman
Ahead of his Sunday visit, Kerry’s upside down assessment of things stressed “the important role the UK plays in promoting peace and stability in the world.”
Both countries partnered with Israel represent pure evil, humanity’s greatest threat - Kerry’s visit an imperial mission, asserting US authority, letting UK and European officials know what Washington expects going forward.
Kerry saying “(i)n a democracy, when the voters speak, it is the job of leaders to listen and then to make sure that they are moving in a way that is responsible to address the concerns” is polar opposite the way America and its rogue Western allies operate.
Sanders Supports Clinton
Stephen Lendman
Holding back on officially endorsing her, the presumptive Democrat party standard bearer, belies his earlier saying “if (she’s) the nominee, I will certainly support her.”
Support = endorsement, so why stop short of admitting it. Sanders’ reasons ring hollow. So does his empty threat about waging a convention floor fight over Democrat platform policies.
He’s part of the dirty system, supporting what he claims to oppose, more hypocrite than populist, turning truth on its head, claiming “the Democratic (sic) party stands with the middle class, stands with working families, and is prepared to take on Wall Street and the big money interests” - the same ones his voting record shows he supports while claiming otherwise.
