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).

Trojan Horses and Color Revolutions: The Role of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED)

William Blum William Blum 7 August 2017 Image: Award winning author William Blum This article is a chapter from  Rogue State: A Guide to the World’s Only Superpower  by William Blum published in 2005. How many Americans could identify the National Endowment for Democracy? An organization which often does exactly the opposite of what its name implies. The NED was set up in the early 1980s under President Reagan in the wake of all the negative revelations about the CIA in the second half of the 1970s. The latter was a remarkable period. Spurred by Watergate – the Church committee of the Senate, the Pike committee of the House, and the Rockefeller Commission, created by the president, were all busy investigating the CIA. Seemingly every other day there was a new headline about the discovery of some awful thing, even criminal conduct, the CIA had been mixed up in for years. The Agency was getting an exceedingly bad name, and it was causing the powers-th...

CIA Backed Color Revolutions

F. William Engdahl New Eastern Outlook 1 October 2017 Many readers likely never heard the name of the remarkable Serbia-born political operator named  Srđa Popović . Yet he and his organization, CANVAS, have played a lead role in most every CIA-backed Color Revolution since he led the toppling of Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic in 2000, at least fifty according to last count. Now he has turned his sights on Hungary and Hungary’s popular and defiant Prime Minister Victor Orban . On September 8, the professional regime-change specialist Srđa Popović came to Budapest and joined with the anti-Orban opposition groups in front of the Hungarian Parliament. It‘s clear that Popović was not in town to promote his Hungarian book on nonviolent regime change but rather to give aid to the anti-Orban parties before Hungarian elections in spring of 2018. Many in Hungary smell the oily hand of Hungarian-born regime-change financier George Soros behind the Popović appe...

EDITORIAL: 14 Defining Characteristics of Fascism

Ne News 7 April 2017 At the moment, there are concerns worldwide of moves towards fascism, and in particular a fascist world government that will be the centrepiece of the New World Order. However, the good news is that it is falling apart with the United Kingdom leaving the European Union (which is essentially the Fourth Reich, following the blueprint done by IG Farben during the Third Reich of Nazi Germany). However, it should be noted that work on this editorial started just a couple of days before Brexit was made official. A few years back, Dr. Lawrence Britt analysed the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several Latin American regimes (most notably Pinochet in Chile). There were fourteen defining characters (which are indicated in bold with comments in normal text). 1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other parap...
