Recommended Readings (2016/06/23)

Hello everyone, and for the news junkies who has been following the Brexit, it is just like unwrapping Christmas presents on Christmas Day. Well, tonight it is on. The Brexit Referendum on EU Membership in the United Kingdom and note that you can follow the coverage on Twitter from 9am AEST tomorrow morning at https://twitter.com/Ne_News_Brexit. The debate over EU membership has divided conservatives in the United Kingdom, and it has also divided the left (http://www.globalresearch.ca/part-of-the-european-union-what-should-socialists-argue-in-the-uk-brexit-referendum/5532065), who argue that the European Union does not defend the rights of the people, and this is true. This article looks at the three sides, one for remain, one for leave, and one for abstaining. There is also a guide for the European Union from Professor Richard A. Werner that appeared on Global Research (http://www.globalresearch.ca/eu-basics-your-guide-to-the-uk-brexit-referendum-on-eu-membership/5532351). But no matter what happens tonight, the world is set to be a very different place when you wake up tomorrow morning, even though programmes like A Current Affair will be very likely to cover the mundane as opposed to this massive event that will change the world that we live in.

When you follow the coverage tomorrow, you need to follow some trends as noted by Open Europe (http://openeurope.org.uk/today/blog/eu-referendum-look-night/), and vote will close at around 22:00 UTC (which is around 07:00 our time), with results at around 2:30 tomorrow afternoon our time. And we need to emphasise the Twitter coverage tomorrow from 9:00am AEST, so you will need to get up early to see how everything goes, and based on polls, it looks like we may see a Brexit happening, and this could in turn lead to the collapse of the European Union.

Tomorrow is also the penultimate episode of Ne News on Radio Fodder, and next week will be the future of international relations (2016-3016).

The French “Patriot Act”: Why is France Extending Its State of Emergency? From Pseudo-Democracy to Dictatorship

Guillaume Kress Global Research 19 February 2016 President Francois Hollande, whose legitimacy stems from nothing but a fraudulent multiparty electoral system , has repeatedly abused his authority  since taking office in 2012 by waging illegal wars in foreign countries (i.e., Mali, Syria) without consulting his electors. [1] He  recently failed to confer with them when his Socialist government responded to last year’s terrorist attacks in Paris by adopting Orwellian domestic policies – policies that have allowed the Hollande administration to spy on citizens , block websites containing “terrorist related content” , strip convicted “terrorists” of French citizenship , and criminalize activism against Israeli occupation .[2] These policies prevent the spread of information which may expose the government’s criminal activities. We should note, here, that the state of emergency greatly facilitates political corruption. [3] To put it briefly, the state of...

EDITORIAL: Be Careful Italy

Ne News 2 June 2018 As you may be aware, there was a constitutional crisis in Italy following the decision to make a Eurosceptic Italian Finance Minister, which resulted in the Italian President to dissolve the government. Just a couple of days ago, this was resolved. However, it is worth noting that one of the parties in this coalition is the far-right wing Northern League, as well as the Five Star Movement. However, the people of Italy must be careful, especially in regards to the Northern League, as they may be the party to destroy Italy’s sovereignty and hand it over to the unelected and unaccountable European Union, which is increasingly becoming a fascist police state. That’s right, despite denying it and claiming that they are Eurosceptics, the Northern League may actually be the most pro-European Union party in the Italian Government. Throughout the world (and in particular the Western World), we are seeing the rise of far-right wing parties who claim ...

Big Pharma: An Example of the Best ‘Democracy’ Money Can Buy

Monica Cruz Liberation News 23 May 2018 The U.S. government constantly vilifies Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, and other governments it opposes, claiming that they are not democracies. Republicans and Democrats alike warn of “oppressive regimes” while telling us that the U.S. is a true democracy, and everyone here has a say through voting. But a closer look reveals that the deciding factor in U.S. “democracy” is not the vote at all, but the dollar bill. Policies are made and unmade not because of the number of votes they get, but because corporations spend hundreds of millions of dollars on ‘lobbying,’ and other ways of paying off law makers to pass the laws they want. Take the pharmaceutical industry. Virtually everyone takes medication at one time or another, and access to medicine can mean life or death. Many people cannot afford medication. In a recent poll, the Kaiser Family Foundation found that 80 percent of people in the U.S.  believe drug c...
