democracy

The Great British Brexit Swindle

I was a revolutionary, innocent less informed 22 year old when in 1972 Ted Heath and the Conservative Government took us into the Common Market. Enthusiasm for people unity and greater interactivity allowed me to accept much that was touted as good for us all. There was no referendum. There was and still is no written UK Constitution. There was always a gentleman’s agreement constitution available to misrepresentation and convenient reinterpretation. No one was asked to democratically vote on whether to go into this arrangement or remain a so called sovereign state.

Only after Labour and Harold Wilson came to power was a referendum called as to whether we stay in or get out. Sound familiar? With a 52.1% stay and 47.9% get out vote the ‘Remainers’ had it in 1975. How similar these percentages are when 2016 vote is laid alongside it in mirror image.

Yet these similarities  both rest on tenets of non sovereign machinations. The referenda held were, against the British way of governance, both held and accepted as advisory votes, yet touted as binding to those that knew little, having no legal necessity to be upheld or honoured. As long as the powers that be were satiating their own needs through the Emperor’s new clothes of referenda it all was sold down to the people as constitutional and democratic. Both these words being as abused as they always have been down the ages. It can be argued, we in the UK have never truly had a constitution nor a true democracy. The latter will engage screams of BS from so many who have been trained, taught and led to believe that it was that very democracy that laid our foundations and exceptional prowess as a nation going on to be fed to the world.

The cry “Magna Carta laid it down well and good for us all” is as sacred a chant as any religious fervour or tenet could be. Yet in truth most everything laid down in that historic charter has been ploughed, harrowed and decimated to merely remain a museum piece for us to gloat over, glorify, and make believe it still is our foundation and a critical part of a paradisiacal democratic fantasy.

In 1972 the government passed the European Communities Bill. This bill was presumed enough of an excuse to take us into the EEC (European Economic Community). The fact that at the time the fear that the majority of the population would have rejected such a move was the main driver for Heath to NOT propose a referendum. Before his election he even did what seems common practice today, he said the opposite of what he went on to propose. Heath declared that it would be….

“…wrong if any Government contemplating membership of the European Community were to take this step without `the full hearted consent of Parliament and people”

The turncoats and self interested never lose their pale pusillanimous pallor, do they!

Today we find ourselves being not only played like fiddles but also transgressed so gravely as for it to deserve revolution. History not learned is a fatal flaw to any true democratic desire. Thus the majorly unremarked European Union (Withdrawal) Bill 2017 came into the public awareness when published  13th July 2017. Its true meaning and content was never truly publicised nor forensically critiqued.

Its purpose was to repeal the European Communities Act 1972 which it will do, however it does contain, as the video below explains at the time, that EU will override any UK laws that endeavour to disapply, interpret or quash any law brought into UK law. This would not include the Charter of Fundamental rights. It states in the Act that :

“…5.. Exceptions to Savings and Incorporations 
1. The principle of supremacy of EU Law does not apply to any enactment or rule of law passed or made on or after exit day.
2. Accordingly, the principle of the supremacy of EU law continues to apply on or after exit day so far as relevant to the interpretation, disapplication or quashing of any enactment or any rule of law passed or made on or before exit day.”

The Great British Brexit Swindle

The meaning behind this bill when passed will mean that neither the Leavers, Remainers nor the third of the country that did not participate in the vote will get what they thought they would. Any perceived sovereignty will be merely a bauble of fantasy. Common Law of these lands will remain an ephemeral dream etched out as reality and told us it exists.

The whole House of Cards, supposedly enacting the will and votes of the people will continue to be the horror show we presently witness in the Houses of Parliament. What has been masterfully enacted is the greatest distraction show in town, the most successful act to pit people against people, with scenarios and sleight of hand pretending one position is better than another, freedom from the unelected EU autocrats is that dizzy dream hanging over the white cliffs of Dover.

We all have been suckered in via our individual proclivities and blinded ignorance. Neither left nor right have sussed it nor been truthful about it. Our so called Parliament has been outed, like Banksey’s famed Monkey Parliament, sold this week for $12 million. It shows presciently (done some 12 years ago), the chimps and chumps they all are.banksy-parliament-bristol

The sacred cow that is the British Parliament is no more than a televised pantomime. The People, unwritten constitution or not, are and never truly have been able to have their cherished Common Law as foundational, working principle of Law. The Barons and knights still have their castles, “King John” never lost its overarching rule over the peasants and the divide and rule we presently are yoked under remains the same with merely centuries-later colour and texture added.

You’ll be told European Communities Act is, as Professor Mark Elliott states:

It’s more of a “tidying-up exercise”

Such a typical delusional soundbite to calm the masses. He then tellingly pronounces:

“…. Although the Great Repeal Bill will repeal the ECA, paradoxically it will not repeal — in the sense of getting rid of — any EU law. That is because the Government has — sensibly and inevitably — concluded that the vast body of EU law cannot simply be made to vanish overnight. The chaos that would ensue if it did would be profound. Against that background, the Great Repeal Bill, far from getting rid of EU law from the UK legal system, will preserve it.”

He overrides the tenure the EU will retain on our exit. The status quo in the UK is perfectly happy for this legal hyper nuanced cobweb to annoy and satisfy all sides, thus continuing the in fighting and distraction. We all, by our own proclivities, become the tools for Same Old, Same Old to continue its overarching control of a system suiting the elite Barons of our times and the usurping corporate sovereign we continue to interact, accede to.

If we truly wish to see a whole better system of governance, then Common Law in all its prime aspects must return to be the foundation of every law and governance in place for the People and By The People. A written, respected Constitution would further stipulate and serve the people as sovereign.

The cracking of a seemingly overarching behemoth is ultimately down to the People. Becoming informed of what that entails, what stand needs to be taken is the very mighty struggle needed for these times. Reflected in so many prior attempts in our history, today we are better informed, or at least have that information greatly improved for our research than any time in our history.

It must be a collective effort, not us looking for one leader and following mutely. It is our individual and personal responsibility to take action, stop arguing and actually make things happen. This revolution can most easily be achieved and won through the use of peaceful, informed means and specific targets. Violence, as much as it might seem to be medicinal, plays straight into the hands of those we are endeavouring to hold to account.

Inequalities are rife. One area of absolute action available, and substantiated in even these last few days looks proven to be on the cusp of completing. It is laid out comprehensively in The Great British Mortgage Swindle. This long term struggle for justice by a dedicated group of people to expose fraudulent manipulation of the people and their sacred right to their home, is coming home to challenge decades old malpractice and illegality in mortgage supply and banking.

Where better to start a revolution and betterment than by taking down the financial and mortgage arena and releasing trillions into an economy purposefully drained at the expense of the 99%, for the sole sake of the greed infested 1%.

Whether it be a BREXIT swindle, Mortgage Swindle or any other swindle unearthed, it is now time to gird our collective loins, and paraphrasing Shakespeare:

“Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;…
…Straining upon the start. The game’s afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry ‘Justice, Truth, and Common Law for All!’

The true Sovereign is ourselves, each of us for one and for all! Not just the British but for the whole of Humanity.

Ukraine? Stupid People Have Stupid Leaders

Originally published on Fort Russ

By Rostislav Ishchenko 

They say that, as a rule, the people choose their leader, whose intellect roughly corresponds to the average one. People, they say, do not like those who are much smarter than them and reluctant to vote for them. However, today we are not interested in the reasons for this phenomenon. Just note that the level of development of the people can generally be easily calculated by the level of development of their leader.

From this point of view, it is not surprising that Russia is friendly and negotiates with China, while the Western world only grinds teeth in impotent rage and can not in any way understand how Moscow was able to escape from the trap, which it was reliably captured in the 1990s years of the last century. With Ukraine it is very bad. There, even the first president Kravchuk was not an intellectual, but an artful scoundrel, and even the others, in comparison with Kravchuk, are victims of acute intellectual insufficiency. And each of the following was an order of magnitude stupider than the previous one.

The level of Peter Alekseevich is characterized by the “White House” built by him in the suburban area near Kiev, as well as a well-known fresco from the family chapel, which was given the unofficial name “The Holy Family of Poroshenko”. These are typical signs of ‘parvenu’, trying to be “no worse than others” and with the help of flashy luxury and frank kitsch to rise if not over the old aristocratic birth, then at least to their level. Moliere’s Jourdain, in comparison with Poroshenko – the British lord, the leading pedigree of the companions of William Bastard.

Until 2005, Peter Alekseevich demonstrated to the city and the world his “aristocracy”, with the help of a full mouth of gold teeth. In the remote Moldovan province, where Pyotr Alekseevich grew up, it was so fashionable. By 2005, the “outstanding statesman of Ukraine” had learned that for fifty years they had not been in a decent society, replaced crowns with porcelain, but built a house like the president of the United States and depicted his family in a church fresco (like the Yaroslav the Wise family). Before whom he was going to brag about the photo from the paid photo shoot with Trump is unknown, but given the pathological greed of Poroshenko (compared to which Gobsek is a patron), the plans for this photo were strategic (I understand that the money was formally paid by the state, but Poroshenko could have simply steal, so in a sense it was already his money).

No wonder that with this level of intelligence, everything that Peter Alekseevich does on his own, he does very badly. And do not give an example of his successful business. Poroshenko claims that his father was the boss (Alexei Ivanovich is also a colorful figure, by the way). Since this statement was not refuted by anybody, I have no reason not to believe that the starting business of the Poroshenko family is the money that Alexey Ivanovich “managed” in the USSR, where he held the posts of economic managers of the district level and where he served time for economic crimes.

Likewise, I have no reason not to believe Poroshenko’s allegations that his business has now been transferred to the management of the “blind trust”. Allegedly Poroshenko’s affairs are now handled by a company associated with the Rothschilds. In this it is all the easier to believe that since the formal transfer of assets to management, Poroshenko’s official revenues have started to grow at a rapid pace and over the past four years have grown by more than an order of magnitude. I emphasize that these are the incomes of its enterprises managed by a “blind trust” according to official reporting. That is, here it is not a question of what Poroshenko has cleared from the treasury, but about the income declared by the foreign managers.

Thus, it turns out that over the course of his life, personally, Peter Alekseevich only changed his gold teeth to porcelain (and then, ten years late), flew from the post of NSDC secretary to Yushchenko, because he tried too hard to squeeze out another’s business, stole from the treasury stupidly various public positions and was photographed with Trump for 600 000 dollars.

Is it any wonder that such a person decided to make himself a pre-election PR on the termination of the Treaty and friendship, cooperation and partnership with Russia through its non-renewal? Note the non-renewal, and not the denunciations, because even the nationally-conscious marginals sitting in the Ukrainian Rada and making up the government did not want to commit such a rare stupidity. Non-extension of the same Poroshenko signed personally, on the basis of the representation completely dependent on him Klimkin.

Why this stupidity?

From the point of view of foreign policy, the de facto situation has not changed. Ukraine has never observed this and other treaties before, motivating its behavior by the fact that it has been subjected to aggression by Russia and is at war with it, and the belligerent state can not be linked to a military adversary by treaties concluded in peacetime. Russia, for its part, not considering itself in a state of war (which Ukraine has not yet announced) has observed treaties. But potentially, since 2014 Moscow has had every opportunity to cancel any agreement at any time based on Ukraine’s position.

The fact is that in the modern world the war does not need to be declared, the state of war can be simply ascertained. Ukraine is quite officially, at the level of the Rada, the president and the government, ascertained the state of war with Russia. Russia could “notice” this situation for as long as necessary, but at any time it could be noticed. Thus, starting in 2014, the implementation of any treaty with Ukraine depended solely on Russia’s goodwill and on how it specifically implemented its interests and planned to achieve geopolitical goals.

In this respect, almost nothing has changed. Russia and now can build relations with Ukraine at will. Poroshenko made a small present to Moscow, in the sense that he assumed responsibility for the formal destruction of the legal framework, but it must be admitted that if the geopolitical situation demanded the annulment of agreements and agreements with Ukraine, Russia would do it on its own. This is not a problem, and in comparison with the process of Britain’s withdrawal from the EU, not even troubles. Poroshenko unleashed Russia’s hands, which were not connected.

If Moscow has not stepped up the events in the Ukrainian direction (and now will not intensify, as Ukraine itself copes), then only because the planet has more strategically important points (like the Middle East), requiring concentration of attention and resources. Just in the queue of priorities, Kiev takes far from the first and even not the third place. Now that the decision is made to aggravate, Russia will have yet another argument in favor of the fact that Kiev “start it first.” Thanks to Poroshenko, but this is an absolute trifle, since, as we know, the West, when making international legal decisions, is guided not by facts, but by its own benefit. Therefore, the adoption / not acceptance by him of the Russian rationale for the Ukrainian problem depends not on the actual situation, but on whatsoever the West would like to see the situation.

In general, having initiated an international scandal and, thus, weakening our positions (France and Germany have long ago conditioned our support for Ukraine by Kiev’s constructive behavior in the Russian direction, and without external support, Ukraine (and all of its political elite) is nothing), Poroshenko does not influenced the already existing (and several years the existing) situation.

From the point of view of Poroshenko’s internal policy, at the beginning of the election campaign, which he is already losing with a bang, he was immediately substituted for two charges critical for modern Ukraine. First, the opposition immediately accused him of undermining the well-being of millions of working citizens of Ukraine in Russia. Given the poverty and hopelessness of Ukrainian life, this is not a joke, migrant workers working in Russia, together with their families, make up at least a third of the nominal population of Ukraine. Pressing this button, Moscow at any time can cause a social explosion in Kiev. Now the opposition and the people are blaming Poroshenko for this eventual threat. Secondly, the senselessness for Ukraine and the theoretical profitability for Russia of Poroshenko’s actions immediately caused his accusations that he was an “agent of the Kremlin.”

Thus, the event organized by Poroshenko did not affect the overall strategic situation around Ukraine, and he himself, instead of a spoon of PR, brought a barrel of anti-piracy.

Remember at least this, at least any other “strategic breakthrough” organized by Peter Alekseevich, when you hear the question often asked by the Russian people, as well as experts, journalists and politicians – the most widespread one regarding Ukraine: “Do not they understand?”

They do not understand. The level of intelligence of the leader of the state, as a rule, reflects the average national intellectual level. The level of Poroshenko in four years could be estimated even by a person far from politics. Meanwhile, he won in the first round, for him 54.7% of those who came to the polls in 2014 voted. And those who are eager for power in Ukraine now, the same “intellectuals”, and maybe worse. Smart man for the presidency on the remains of Ukraine will not fight.

It remains to answer the question, how could the people, in no way different from the inhabitants of Moscow, St. Petersburg or Volgograd, have been able to descend in just two decades?

By 2014, Ukraine has left over 8 million people (the sixth part of the population of the Ukrainian SSR in 1991). During the period between 2014 and 2018, Ukraine lost about 15 million people who had left and gone with the Crimea and the Donbas. In total, this is about 45% of the population of the Ukrainian SSR at the time of the collapse of the Union.

These are not necessarily the best people in the classical sense, but this is the most competitive, the most workable and the most popular part of the population. In addition, they are people who are able to make responsible decisions on their own, that is, independently assess the situation and not to shift responsibility for one’s life to anyone.

Left, in the majority, the slaves are the best of the worst. Trying to avoid the slightest risk to reassign responsibility for their fate to someone else. They do not believe in intelligence, and they are afraid to choose them, and fools deceive them, and themselves. At the same time, negative selection has gone so far that it can not be stopped by its own internal Ukrainian forces. The country in which Tymoshenko is the most determined, Medvedchuk the smartest, Boyko is the most pro-Russian, and Rabinovich is the most courageous critic of power, has no chance.
