Brexit: It's On

Ne News
17 March 2017

Well, after a couple of months of debate at Westminster, the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill, also known as Brexit has received Royal Assent on 16 March 2017, which means that negotiations on the country's exit from the European Union will begin within days under Article 50 of the European Union Constitution (also known as the Lisbon Treaty).

So, what does the withdrawal from the European Union mean for the people of the United Kingdom? Well, the United Kingdom will no longer be a member of the European Union, and therefore cannot adopt the single European currency, the Euro (there has been much debate on whether or not the United Kingdom will adopt the Euro prior to the Brexit vote). And despite the negative campaign from the mainstream media and most politicians (both Labour, Conservatives and Liberal Democrats among others), the sky will not be caving in. Although, this moment will decide the future of the United Kingdom as well as the European Union.

There is now talk of a second independence vote in Scotland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposed_second_Scottish_independence_referendum), which voted overwhelmingly to stay in the European Union (as highlighted in the map on the side) along with Northern Ireland and London, while England (excluding London) and Wales voted to leave (blue is leave and gold is remain).

And despite campaigning for independence, as mentioned in the editorial a couple of weeks ago, the UK Independence Party (UKIP) actually supports many of the policies of the European Union, including mass privatisation (which as highlighted many times on Ne News is a pillar of fascism), including replacing the National Health Service with health insurance.

Speaking of the NHS, the Brexit will ultimately mean that there will actually be more money to spend on the NHS as well as essential services as membership dues will end. And it will not be the end of cooperation between the UK and Europe, as a lot of cooperation in Europe don't need an European Union to work

There is also a possibility that the collapse of the European Union is now inevitable with a single even equivalent to Brexit is enough to see the European Union collapse (http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/News/2017/March.html#comment0571). So could the European Union collapse within the next two years? Only time will tell.

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...

Israel Blames Brussels Bombing on EU Imposed “Labelling of Goods” Produced in Israeli Settlements in Palestine

Alarabby.co.uk The New Arab (via Global Research) 22 March 2016 NOTE: While the world has been shocked by the events in Brussels, Israel is using the events to score political points against the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement that is gaining ground to end the apartheid system that is currently used in Israel against the Palestinian people. It is also worth noting that "Daesh" (also known as Islamic State) who allegedly carried out the attacks on Brussels is funded by Israel among others, including the European Union and the United States. It has also been argued that the "video" of what happened in Brussels may have been from another terrorist attack in Minsk in 2011 (more information from Global Research (http://www.globalresearch.ca/more-fake-video-reports-of-the-brussels-terror-attacks/5516074). --- An Israeli minister has said that a recent European Union law regarding the labelling of goods produced in Israeli settlements illegally built in...
