| PROPAGANDA EVIL-GENIUS JOSEF GOEBBELS PERSUADED HALF OF EUROPE TO SLAUGHTER JEWS & MINORITIES 'Make the lie big, keep it simple, keep saying it and eventually they will believe it' |
9 Oct 2019: Letter to UK colleagues who fear the collapse of the Euro.
Should we short the Euro?
Reviewing the statistics and economic graphs –
there are no obvious signs that the EU or the EURO are about to crash. Brexit
and the China-USA arguments pose a threat to the rate of growth of the global
economy – via changes in tariffs. Yesterday’s UK.Gov publication of likely
post-Brexit IMPORT tariffs poses threats to world trade; but are not the
central factor. Some UK industries will be wiped out by dumping of inferior goods.
Far more important to the UK, and to the EU because we are the
2nd largest EU economy after Germany being 16% of EU GDP, are the
UK’s EXPORT tariffs. No-Deal will force us, the UK, onto WTO tariffs ranging
from 5% to 48%. These are added to our export prices. Pre-Brexit, most of our
exports to the EU are tariff free, and via the EU-deals with other blocs,
tariffs are low (not WTO imposed).
ALL major forecasters predict loss of trade/sales
equivalent to the increase in tariffs. This is why tariff wars are so
damaging. On the UK’s 77,000 products and services, No-Deal Brexit will cancel
all current agreements. They will take 10 to 20 years to renegotiate – meantime
it’s WTO rules. As a solo, relatively small power, the UK is likely to be the
loser in such arguments. UK industries are afraid of all the usual threats –
dumping, supply-interruptions, poisons, etc. that we have settled over the past
60 years. Bloomberg say:
Brexit negotiations
are hanging by a thread. A no-deal outcome would be a major blow to the U.K.’s
trading relationship with Europe, according to Bloomberg Economics. A less
severe Brexit is possible, with the U.K. staying in the single market. At a
minimum, there will be a period of uncertainty as talks come to a head. In
total, about 0.9 percent of global GDP is exposed to Brexit trade risk. No
surprise: the U.K. is the most vulnerable major economy, with 10 percent of GDP
at risk. Ireland isn’t far behind, at 9.7 percent. For the euro area as a
whole, 2.7 percent of GDP is exposed.
So, the UK’s risk is immense (10% of our GDP = 5M
to 7.8M jobs or equivalent wages). The EU’s risk is 2.7%. The world, incl. the
USA will suffer 0.9% GDP decline. My guess is that the world will rapidly and
happily fill-in our lost exports with their own trade. So, we will not recover
the 10% of GDP. The EU will replace our 62M population with new members and
will recover their 2.7% loss of GDP – not least by grabbing our City-of-London
business.
Other than this suicidal tariff war – Europe is as
sound and solid as the other major blocs. Don’t short the Euro.
“We survived the Blitz – and Dunkirk - and The
Falklands” - “Into the Valley of Death rode the 600. …Ours is but to do
AND die” (not as misquoted by lazy, fornicating Boris – “…to do OR die.” If we DO Brexit, we
will DIE.

ALL the latest Opinion Polls show Remainers are in the majority. Why aren't they reported in the UK media? Possibly because all media barons and VIPs are making fortunes out of Brexit. e.g. How much has Rees-Mogg made by betting against Sterling? The People, the many not the few, are already losing £900 a year each - and their jobs, from 5 million to 7.8 million jobs, are at risk.

Aidan O'Neill QC - 18th Sept 2019
Mel Cooper, Oxford, 3 Oct 2019 - writes:
The problem
is that the Leave Campaign was run by Dominic Cummings based
on his understanding of the Fascist Propaganda Handbook. He loves it because he is, at heart, a Disrupter, and his
rule book says quite clearly that all you need
do is find a strong, emotive slogan, preferably one that is as
simplistic a lie as possible, and that
appeals to the basest fears and bigotry of a simple plurality. The
fearful and angry do not wish to think; they prefer to
be blinkered and they want a target or focus for their anger and misery.
So unify them and get them to give you the votes you need. They will outvote the splintered liberal parties and groups
every single time!
The
overarching slogan that Dominic “Josef Goebbels” Cummings came up with was:
Take Back Control.
His promise?
We will take back control of our sovereignty, our money, our borders and our
laws. Keep repeating this as a mantra. This implies and even assumes that we have not got
control over those things and no one, not one witty, intelligent person on the
Remain side challenged this nonsense directly. The liberal papers and the BBC
never said to Nigel Forage, who will have his 33rd appearance on BBC Question Time on 4th Oct (why? who invites and pays him?), “but what you are saying is a lie and based on false premises”. Even now, no one points
out that we are about to do what the EU wants least, which is to withdraw from
the EU without even having a withdrawal deal. If we did not have our
Sovereignty, then how would we be allowed to do that? Scotland and Ireland have not got their sovereignty, it would
seem, because they do not want to leave the EU - and by large majorities. But
they have no veto in our system that is supposedly the most democratic in the
world and more democratic than the EU.
So,
demonstrably, the UK as an entity did not give
away or lose control of our Sovereignty, folks, we pooled it.
Just the way the UK is supposedly made up of
four pooled sovereignties — for the moment.
If you do
not accept, approve of or understand about pooled Sovereignties, then I think
you might as well wait until Scotland or Ireland or Wales wish to break away and be independent to figure it
out. Meantime, the money we are going to get back control of that we send to
the EU annually is, guess what, about 1.3% of
our annual budget. Boy, have we lost control of our money! Imagine, the EU
membership fee means that we only control around 98.7% of our annual
budget! Or do we control the remaining 1.3% as
well since we choose voluntarily to send our fee for membership to the EU?
Not only
that, no one bothered either to challenge the Money Control
False Premise nor did they ever point out that we are the third biggest
contributor to the EU budget because we are the third
largest economy in Europe after Germany and France. Instead of being
angry about this, we should be aching to be the biggest contributor because
that would mean we are the richest economy in the EU! But that would require us
to be doing a bit of analysis, a little bit of thinking, and that is out of the
question. Need I go on?
Of course, it
did not help that Jeremy Corbyn is a Eurosceptic and was a lazy, intolerant,
irritable and largely absent figurehead for running the Remain Campaign for the
Labour Party. He single-handedly, prematurely enabled Article 50. He has also
become the darling of the Momentum cult.
And, by the
way, the most important historic precedent for forming a Party of National
Unity to run the government in a time of crisis is not that the leader
of the Opposition has to be the leader of such a
government; especially when that leader has the leadership skills of an intellectually narrow-minded, blinkered and tribal
slug. In the days everyone likes to hark back
to, i.e. the days of World War II, a certain Labour leader named Clement Attlee
supported the leadership of a government of unity by Winston Churchill and was
a committed supporter and Deputy Leader of that
Prime Minister.
So maybe we
should look for a solid, experienced leader like Ken Clarke or some other
figurehead that everyone can get behind and actually trust.
Whatever you think
of Jeremy Corbyn, it is very clear that a lot of people distrust him. So we need to factor that into the plans. We need
someone demonstrably honourable, whom everyone trusts
and who is more interested in the good of the nation that the good of his or her party or his or her
power. That is what unity would mean. Even the supporters of Jeremy Corbyn,
even the acolytes who sincerely believe that he has an almost divine integrity, must recognise
that theirs is not a universal reaction to the
man; and that it would be a good idea to back off insisting he has to lead the
government of unity. If they do not, then a government of unified opposition
MPs will simply not happen and we will crash out of the EU on Hallowe’en, 2019.
That is what I predict at the moment, because Momentum and Corbyn simply do not
seem capable of putting the good of the nation
and national unity ahead of what a lot of people fear is just a cynical power
grab.
They tell me
it is the Will of the People to leave the EU because that is what the people
narrowly voted for in 2016. Of course, another way of looking at this is to
suggest that 37% of the people who were eligible to vote, voted to leave and
that means that 63% did not — the 63% being made up of those who actively and consciously voted Remain and those who
did not choose to vote because it was raining. The 63% were totally convinced
Remain had to win so there was no urgency (were they targeted on Facebook by
some tricky Cummings algorithms do you think?), they were feeling lazy or they were
just plain irresponsible. But you ask me to
respect this vote? Yet this vote is the result of what was clearly a propaganda
campaign misinforming the people so that enough gullible, angry folk who hated
David Cameron because of his loony, economically illiterate and damaging
austerity obsession, would not support him in anything, even if it meant not
thinking about what further damage they might be doing to themselves in this
instance.
So there we
are. The Will of the People is to make Jacob Rees-Mogg, Boris Johnson and their
cohorts even richer and hand over to them the power to evade or change EU laws
that benefit working people, and also to sell off the NHS to the USA with
crocodile tears in their eyes because what else will we be able to do.
We voted for
the easiest trade deals ever. We voted to be gods. We voted to rule the seas
again. We voted never, ever, never, ever to be slaves. We voted to Take Back
Control — well, for the Eurosceptic Conservatives to have control anyway. And we never talked about the moral issue of betraying the
central dream of Europe that helped create the EU by little steps over the past
decades: to create a forum for talk and diplomacy that would obviate the
necessity for extreme competition and even war. We also voted to create a large trading
block that would help each of the countries in the union punch above its
individual weight in an increasingly global world. We never talked about the
betrayal that leaving the EU would mean for the Good Friday Agreement based so
heavily on the alignments between the UK and Eire because both were in the EU.
We voted for bombs in Birmingham again, I fear. It was the EU that was part of
the reason we could calm the Irish problem. It was the EU that gave us 45 years
of peace and prosperity such as we had not really known before. We have voted
to dismantle that prosperity, most probably; and possibly that peace too.
As
for the myth that we have lost control of our borders, at the moment the EU entrants have
fallen dramatically and so we have to take far more people from places like
India, Pakistan and the Philippines to do the work. We
still need those people, so the overall immigration to the UK has not fallen by
all that much. But the people coming are not EU therefore they have to
get through the nets created by Theresa May’s Hostile Environment. Even before
the EU immigration fell, it amounted to no more than 20%
of entrants into the country. That means that even
before the Referendum we were not being overwhelmed by European people
with a free pass to come. 80% of the people who came were non-EU and had to
have visas and permission. We had overall control.
And whatever happened to the millions of Turks poised
to come here and destroy our culture and rape people? Who said that was
about to happen? And by leaving the EU, we
also, of course, sacrifice our reciprocal rights to travel, study, work and
live in Europe with ease. But hell, isn’t that
all worth giving up – for our “freedom to starve” in
glorious independence and sovereignty?
As for our laws, I note that Priti Patel wants to reintroduce the
death penalty. And I bet that many Leavers will applaud that, so let us go
ahead and do it. We voted for that too. We also
voted for the pound to be 23% less valuable today than it was before the Referendum
and for the knock on effects of that to close down businesses but up tourism
from countries with stronger currencies. Well, that’s good business, I suppose.
We also
have to leave the EU so that we can redo one at a time the 170 or so trade deals (on 77,000 products) that
we now have through our membership of the EU club, one at a time, individually,
from the position of being a market of about 60 million instead of 550 million.
Guess who will have the upper hand as we redo each of
these negotiations with some of the strong economies of this world? Chlorinated Coronation Chicken! Yum yum! I can hardly wait!
And American medical insurance is waiting in the wings to charge us double or treble the price for health-services.
So
Good Luck, Brexiteers!
We also have to leave the EU because David Cameron didn’t bother to take any
time to explain the positives of the EU. He tripped off the Referendum
prematurely (he could have done it 3 or 4 years later
after some proper debates), with no real preparation, and with no
thought of countering 40 years of anti-EU propaganda from the Right Wing Press
of the UK. He ran a totally negative campaign about the damage leaving would
do; he appealed to thought and intellect; and there was no leadership debate to inspire confidence in our membership of the
EU.
My own fear is that the Conservative government of Boris Johnson really
wants to gain authoritarian control so that they never have to worry about EU
laws making them bring their offshore money back so that it can be fairly
taxed. They also want to exploit situations that EU laws now prevent, laws we
often introduced, asked for and even wrote. And hey, did you know that we have
a veto in the EU system? How’s that for being able to
exercise some sovereignty?
Sadly, I am beginning to think that the
only thing we can do now is stop complaining
that it was all a truly appalling con job - because the media will not listen
to the 63%, any more than the anti-Dreyfuards would respond to logic or
evidence - or any more than the McCarthyites in the USA in the 1950s could be
convinced that the Reds were not hiding under all our beds. But I do have to keep on protesting because my conscience
tells me to; and like Lillian Hellman before me, I find that I cannot cut my
conscience to fit this year’s fashion.
The real
witch hunt and the real betrayals are all on the Leave side. As in the actual play by Ibsen, these are the ones who are "the enemies of the people". But I guess we have to go through with it
just so that the poor, benighted believers in the Cult of Brexit are finally
disabused and have their eyes opened. Of course, they will blame it all on the
EU for a while because it could not possibly be Boris Johnson’s fault, despite
the £350 million per week bus that everyone knows was one of the more obvious
propaganda lies. No, let us go ahead. Do not listen to your experts. Do not
listen to all the nations of the world wondering what has happened to the
British. And do not listen to your young people who, by and large, might want a
more open society and future!
Or perhaps
we should have another vote just to check again? In case there has been a
change of mind and heart?
Or maybe not
