I’m
not sure that I agree with the main premise of this article although
I doubt whether the powers-that-be will be invoking the Lisbon
Treaty.
Now
Britain faces ‘Coloured revolution’ as Soros moves to stop Brexit
By Nick

The
people of Britain are about to become the next victims of the
‘Coloured Revolution’ tactics used by Washington and Brussels
against democratically elected governments from Serbia to Syria, from
Ukraine to Brazil.
Within
a few days of the British electorate’s totally unforeseen
(including by this author!) grass-roots decision to defy
Establishment bullying and waves of MSM propaganda to vote for
Brexit, the counter move of the globalists is already becoming clear.
First,
a concerted attack on sterling and leading shares to apply financial
pressure and justify the self-fulfilling prophesies of gloom and doom
of the defeated Remain camp.
Second,
massive psychological pressure organised by ‘civil society’
organisations, such as Avaaz masquerading as grass-roots social media
protests but in fact funded by Foundations financed by George Soros.
The spear-point of this propaganda campaign is at present the
petition for a Second Referendum, which has already passed the three
million mark, even when tens of thousands of bogus signatures have
been identified and removed.
Third,
the use of other ‘civil society’ groups, including SumOfUs and 38
Degrees, to conducted rolling polls of ‘progressive’ public
opinion so as to ascertain which themes and attacks on Brexit will be
the most effective. This is a key technique taught in ‘color
revolution’ training course modelled on the proposals of Gene Sharp
and now honed by John Carlane, liberal globalist former British Army
officer turned head of the Peace Education and Training Repository.
Fourth,
the mobilisation of crowds of angry and clearly violence-prone
protesters in London and other key cities. Despite the fact that many
on the British far-left campaigned for Brexit, gangs carrying
Communist and anarchist flags are out on the streets. They are
supposedly to defend ethnic minorities (many of whom in fact voted
alongside their indigenous working class counterparts for Brexit) but
have already been involved in attacks on known or suspected
Brexiteers.
Fifth,
the CIA/liberal elite’s retained propaganda corps of
bought-and-paid-for journalists are lying and twisting flat out to
exploit all the above. The aim is to frighten ‘soft’ Brexit
voters into changing their minds and to build up momentum for a drive
to use the autumn’s expected General Election as a de facto Second
Referendum.
The
purpose of this hybrid political war on the British majority is to
derail the whole Brexit process and keep Britain in the EU (or at
least to turn leaving into such a shambles that no other country will
dare to follow suite).
This
explains why Prime Minister Cameron has already broken his promise
during the referendum that, in the event of a Leave vote, he would
immediately trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty in order to set
Brexit in motion. It is now blatantly obvious that the Europhile
elite have no intention of allowing such a minor inconvenience as the
democratically expressed will of the British people to disrupt the
process of ‘ever closer Union’ or of the geo-political
‘necessity’ of keeping the EU united for the deepening
confrontation with Russia.
In
advance of last Thursday’s vote, the Brussels-rule camp pulled out
all the stops, with multi-levelled frauds and the ruthless
exploitation of the murder of Jo Cox looking certain to secure a
manipulated but unquestionable Remain vote.
Despite
the failure of the campaign, a vociferous minority of hardcore
Europhiles, led at present by Tory grandee Lord Heseltine and
‘moderate’ Labour and LibDem MPs such as David Lammy and Tim
Farron, are not going to accept the verdict of the referendum.
Instead,
they are trying desperately to give the liberal elite the nerve and
confidence for their biggest ever display of out-of-touch arrogance –
denying the British people the right to have their Brexit decision
implemented.
Will
they get away with it? Or will the response of ordinary people as
they realise what is going on be so outraged as to convince the
Europhiles that, being already in a massive hole, it really is time
to stop digging? I don’t know. I simply don’t know. But there is
no doubt that this is their game plan. Don’t expect stability and
certainty any time soon.
Cracks in the EU
by Kakaouskia

Greetings
to the Saker community and readers.
So,
the UK people, contrary to the “script” that wanted a narrow
Remain win have elected to leave the European Union. As it could also
have been predicted, there
are calls to repeat the vote as
the result is not the “correct” one. And as if the extremely
narrow gap between the two voting blocs was not bad enough – for
the record 16,141,241 voted to Remain and 17,410,742 people voted to
Leave – two of the members of the UK actually overwhelmingly voted
to Remain and are now looking at other options.
In
Scotland, voices for a second independence referendum have started
and Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s First Minister has stated that
Holyrood (Scottish Parliament) will
try to veto the exit decision.
As
for Northern Ireland, their position is very nicely depicted here:
Senior
government officials in Northern Ireland have even called for
a referendum
to unite with the rest of Ireland.
It appears that the United Kingdom might not be so united after all.
But
what about the European Union itself? First, there is the fact that
nobody ever implemented Article 50 which governs how a member state
can leave the Union. Simply put, the process is the following:
- First, the member state wishing to leave must explicitly and in very clear way formally request the European Council to invoke Article 50.
- Following that the leaving member and the rest of the EU begin negotiations on a “Departure Treaty”, basically a set of rules that will govern the relationship between the two parties after the departure. These rules can be anything from aviation agreements to border controls, visa requirements, taxation etc. The important thing here is that once the agreement is reached, European parliament must ratify this treaty and then pass it to the European Council where a special majority of EU members (excluding the member asking to leave) must ratify the treaty. If memory serves, this majority has to be 75%.
- Failing to reach an agreement within two years from the day of the invocation of Article 50, both the leaving state and the rest of the EU mutually agree to extend the negotiation period or all existing treaties between the leaving state and the EU are automatically cancelled.
It
is clear from the process outlined above that there is a good chance
that this divorce will be a drawn out process, despite the fact that
the six founding members of the EU (Germany, France, Italy, Belgium,
Luxembourg and the Netherlands) naturally want
this process to be concluded as soon as possible.
The
worrying thing about this event though is that the idea of an EU army
became stronger. Already, the head of the head of the European
Parliament Committee of Foreign Affairs, Mr Elmar Brok, is
promoting the idea despite acknowledging that the EU constitution as
it stands prohibits the creation of an EU army.I
guess he took a page out of the US diplomatic group as he states that
an EU army will strengthen the EUs foreign policy.
However,
one is forced to wonder – does the EU really need an army? And most
importantly, what will NATOs role be in all this?
To
answer the first question, no. EU needs to realise that in order to
have a foreign policy first and foremost you have to think for
yourself and act independently or as an equal in an alliance. Being
ordered around by other countries is counter-productive to put it
mildly. And as the financial crisis in the European South has proved,
EU is far more effective in getting what it wants by pushing its
economic weight around.
Now
for the second question – NATO at the moment has 28 members, out of
which 22 (including the UK) are also EU members. One can easily argue
that the EU is effectively occupied by NATO. And of course, NATO =
USA. I seriously doubt that the USA will accept any challenge to NATO
dominance, unless this EU army initiative is a clever way to convince
all EU members to increase defence spending for NATO under a
different label and also draw funds from those EU members that are
not NATO members. Needless to say that the people of Europe do not
want to spend money on this, however this is duly ignored by the
governments (at least those who can pay for this) and vague external
threats have to be invented to persuade the populace.
It
appears that while EU is at critical crossroads. Germany is calling
for an EU army, Le Pen in France has formally asked Hollande for
a vote
on France exiting the EU.
Hollande of course denied this request. The European south is either
financially crumbling or on wobbly legs at best. Immigration and
demographic change have started to create tensions in communities
across the EU – Sharia
police in Germany anyone?
So
what does the future hold? Will the EU elites be vindictive against
the UK and try to make an example of them in order to show to anyone
else harbouring exit ideas to refrain from expressing them? Surely,
EU can make life pretty miserable for the next UK government. But the
question remains, who will pick up the UK’s tab once it leaves the
EU? For example, the next time an EU member needs a bailout, who will
cover UK’s share? While the net contribution amount might look
small (£8,473 million for 2015), it still has to come from
somewhere. According to official UK data from December, the UK
contributes 12.57% of the total EU budget.
Someone
will have to pay for this. And it looks increasingly likely that the
UK will get an exit deal based on WTO rules instead of the single
market rules they are used to now.
Regardless
of the correctness of the outcome in the UK referendum which is
subjective to one’s views, the EU needs to take a really hard look
on itself and decide which direction to follow in the coming years.
Obviously the current model of consolidating industry to the EU core
while forcing the periphery to be financially addicted to the EU no
longer works.
There
will be interesting times ahead.
