Brexit is the withdrawal of the United Kingdom (UK) from the European Union (EU) on 31 January 2020. To date, the UK is the first and only country formally to leave the EU, after 47 years of membership within the bloc, after having first joined its predecessor, the European Communities (EC), on 1 January 1973. It is also thought to be the first country to withdraw voluntarily from an economic and monetary union of countries (although the UK never adopted the euro). Currently it continues to participate in the European Union Customs Union and European Single Market during a transition period that will end on 31 December 2020.
The European Union and its institutions developed gradually, including 47 years of British membership, and grew to be of great importance to the UK. The public had previously approved membership of the EC in a 1975 referendum, but no further referenda were held as the project grew and became “ever-closer” in the subsequent Maastricht and Lisbon treaties. David Cameron’s pro-Europe government held a referendum in 2016 on whether to leave the EU, which passed by 51.9%. This led to his resignation, replacement by Theresa May, and four years of negotiations with the EU on the terms of departure and future relations. This process was politically challenging within the UK, with one deal rejected by the British parliament, two general elections held and two new Prime Ministers in that time, both Conservative. Under Boris Johnson’s government the UK left the EU on 31 January 2020, and trade deal negotiations continued to within days of the scheduled end of the transition period on 31 December 2020.
Many effects of Brexit depend on how closely the UK will be tied to the EU. The broad consensus among economists is that Brexit will likely harm the UK’s economy and reduce its real per capita income in the long term, and that the referendum itself damaged the economy. Brexit is likely to reduce immigration from European Economic Area (EEA) countries to the UK, and poses challenges for British higher education, academic research and security. Following Brexit, EU law and the EU Court of Justice no longer have supremacy over British laws or its Supreme Court.
That’s the surface story. Now, what is the real story? To FULLY understand what comes next, it is so vital for you, dear reader, to click on this link, and read the 2-part series called THE BREAK-UP. https://behindthenews.co.za/the-break-up-part-1-of-a-2-part-series/ and https://behindthenews.co.za/the-break-up-part-2-of-a-2-part-series/
Now, having read that, let’s summarise, briefly, what events transpired that led to why the Rothschilds did a Brexit. The 2008 financial crash has several aims. The first was a consolidation within the banking sector in the US. But, a greater aim of the crash was to weaken and cripple the European financial system – most of which was within the Rothschild orbit. The US Treasury has a department within it that conducts financial warfare. This department began levying fines and sanctions on many EU banks and companies such as Deutsche Bank, VW, some French, Swiss and British banks. The pressure from New York was relentless. Deutsche Bank is the mother of all EU banks. If it could be bankrupted, it would seriously damage the EU and the Rothschild financial system.
Also, when VW decided to build a plant in Russia (this was just after the Crimea seceded to Russia), the company was hit with a diesel emission scandal (in September 2015) that cost it $34 billion in costs and fines. And when Angela Merkel made a statement that the EU should get its own military force, independent of NATO, the very next day, a German Wings civilian plane was brought down, by electronic means. Germanwings was a scheduled international passenger flight from Barcelona–El Prat Airport in Spain to Düsseldorf Airport in Germany. The flight was operated by Germanwings, a low-cost carrier owned by the German airline Lufthansa. On 24 March 2015, the aircraft, an Airbus A320-211, crashed 100 km north-west of Nice in the French Alps. All 144 passengers and six crew members were killed. It was Germanwings’ first fatal crash in the 18-year history of the company. These are just two of many examples.
London knew that the attack on the Euro and the prime EU companies and banks tied to the Rothschilds will continue being hit with fines, and whatnot. The EU, as a whole, was in the cross hairs of New York.
In addition, the Mossad assassinated Richard Rockefeller, David’s son, in June 2014. So, there was bad blood between the two most powerful financial families in the world. This was in retaliation for the destruction of two Israeli Dolphin submarines off the coast of Syria a month earlier. The first submarine was sunk by Syrian anti-sub helicopters (acting on info received from the Pentagon, via Russian Intelligence, and resulted in 84 Israelis dead), while the second was sunk by a US submarine, not long after.
Then, in March 2015, Britain joined the Asian International Investment Bank (AIIB), as a founder member. This bank was the Chinese version of the World Bank. The US had applied immense pressure on its allies to not join, and they were very upset that Britain and many of its controlled countries also joined, at the very last minute.
With all of this happening in a few short years, London decided to be an independent power again, and a way had to be found to extricate itself from a sinking ship. The answer was – – – BREXIT!
The British have a long and varied history, emerging from their surprising victory over the mighty Spanish Armada in 1588 to go on over the course of three centuries to become the most powerful empire on earth, until a Great Depression of 1873 followed by two devastating world wars in the 20th Century, forced her patriarchs to swallow hard and accept a junior partner role with the 1945 dominant power, the United States.
Their decision to join the European Monetary Union in 1992 went against that tradition of staying outside the Continental European fray, a tradition of remaining an Atlantic power, utilizing their Anglo-American “special relationship” that had been built during the war years by Churchill with Roosevelt. When the US circles deliberately destroyed the British possibility to join the emerging Euro through the agency of a “lone assassin” hedge fund operator named George Soros in 1992, it was a clear signal that Wall Street and Washington would not permit the enormous financial power of the City of London, fused with that of Germany, France and the Continental economies, to challenge the hegemony of the US dollar and of Wall Street.
Now the Brexit negotiations between the EU Commission and the British government have taken on an air of bitter acrimony from the side of the EU, if not outright sabotage. Not the least because the British precedent is giving others the notion that an exit might be an option. However it seems that Brussels smells a deeper agenda afoot from London, one that could easily spell the end of the misbegotten Euro project and with it, the EU as we know it pre-Brexit.
It’s becoming clear that there is a far more ambitious strategy behind Great Britain’s exit from the European Union, the so-called Brexit. Signs emerge of a far more devious well-planned strategy at the highest levels of British power, including the House of Windsor and the powers of the formidable City of London financial institutions, grouped around the House of Rothschild. Britain is ditching the EU as a failed option, and seems to be intent on building a new English-speaking Union together with the United States and with the nations of the Commonwealth–the former colonies of the British Empire prior to 1914.
Stock Exchange Merger Dead
On March 29, 2017, symbolically the same day that Prime Minister Therese May formally presented her government’s plan for Brexit; the European Commission in Brussels announced that the planned $31 billion merger of Frankfurt’s Deutsche Boerse and the London Stock Exchange was dead. There is a huge power struggle here as well. The real issue in the merger was where the ultimate control would lie—London or Frankfurt– of what in trading volumes would become a financial trading goliath of a world dimension. The merger would have created a mega-exchange. The Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI), which is produced twice a year on behalf of the Qatar Financial Centre Authority, currently ranks London as number one, ahead of New York. Frankfurt is the largest EU financial center on the Continent.
The proposed merger collapsed in effect when the EU put severe conditions for London in order to allow approval, terms which London refused. The real issue, however, was not that London sell off part of its business in France. It was where the control would reside, and London insisted it be clearly based in London.
Whether by coincidence, the same day Brussels vetoed the London-Frankfurt merger, Britain formally presented its Brexit plan. The EU is making it clear they will make it as onerous for Britain as possible. EU officials suggest Britain may be forced to pay as much as 60 billion Euros on leaving the EU and will be forced to continue accepting EU tax, environmental and labor laws if it wants to have an eventual free trade pact with the EU. The combined volume of the other EU economies comprise by far Britain’s largest trade partner, taking 46% of British exports last year. Britain plans to replace this market by signing bilateral trade and economic deals with as many countries as is possible.
There is a far more threatening geopolitical background to the Brexit that’s not being talked about, and that that’s what is really behind a de facto guerilla war going on between Britain and the remaining EU, a war which could decide the future of the Euro single currency itself in the next several years as well as the shape of our geopolitical world power “balance” to use a favored British expression.
English-Speaking Union
The most powerful factions within the British establishment – the House of Rothschild, and its allies – were quietly exercising their influence via British media and elsewhere to shape that Brexit vote. The British leading circles around the Rothschild family had reached a consensus before Brexit to exit the failing EU that was forcing Britain, once the world hegemon, to become an inconsequential player in a drama being shaped in Brussels. Now, Britain will seek to rebuild itself anew as a World Power using its historical British Commonwealth network of nations to be the foundation.
It’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. Britain’s Royal Commonwealth Society is planning to open a branch in the United States, with a view to one day bringing America into the multi-nation group as an “associate member.” that opening a branch in the US, “would further Britain’s ties with America, developing new connections between two countries who already share a common language.” Britain seeks to reinvigorate the British Commonwealth as an alternative to the top-down, supranational EU structure. The aim of the Commonwealth is to promote “mutually advantageous” links with “reliable friends” around the world on everything from business to defense.
By leaving the EU, Britain is free to negotiate bilateral free trade agreements with Commonwealth partners such as Australia, Turkey, China or the USA free from the constraints of agreements approved by the 28 (then) member states of the EU.
With this new freedom of maneuver, British banks will not be bound by the EU bank legislation such as the onerous bank “Bail-in” law passed last year that could require bank depositors and shareholders rather than taxpayers to bear costs of a new (and inevitable) new EU banking crisis. Further, the British Pound, which is a member of the select IMF Five of major reserve currencies along with the US dollar and Euro, Japan Yen and China Renminbi, will be free to join efforts of Washington and Wall Street to attack and ultimately bring down the highly-vulnerable Euro. Britain’s Pound is the third largest global payments currency after the dollar and the Euro. If Britain, free from the restraints can bring down the Euro, the Pound could become a major gainer–currency war with Britain on the side of Washington against the fragile Eurozone with their Italian, Greek, Spanish and other problems.
Britain, in collusion with the United States, formally or informal, could well present a formidable challenge to world peace. Britain is a nuclear power with full intelligence-sharing cooperation with Washington, something denied Germany. Britain deploys its military around the world in concert with the USA. Britain is historically the geopolitical opponent, in two world wars, of Germany and of Russia and of China going back to the 1840s Opium Wars.
The current machinations of Britain call to mind their project, put forward by one of the more strategic thinkers of the British Empire prior to outbreak of World War II, H.G. Wells. In the late 1930s when the smell of world war was unavoidable, Wells and his friends in the highly influential British Round Table, notably Lord Lothian who went on to become Britain’s Ambassador to Washington, put forward a radical strategy. Wells termed it, an order dominated by a “great English-speaking English-thinking synthesis, leading mankind by sheer force of numbers, wealth, equipment and scope.”
Agreeing with Cecil Rhodes, the founder of the Round Table’s fraternity, H.G. Wells stressed that the coming world order must be based on cooperation, “between all the western peoples and, more particularly, between all the Nordic peoples,” and he insisted that “The British Empire had to be the precursor of a world-state or nothing,” and that that world state must also be one in which, “Britain must draw the United States into a closer accord,” into a new great English-speaking union. Will it work in 2021? Not likely given the hollowed-out state of both the British and US economies, the hollowed-out quality of the respective national politicians. That doesn’t mean the British won’t give it a go.
The withdrawal of Britain from the EU will cause huge losses to Britain’s GDP. Roughly 25 % of its GDP is derived from the FIRE sector (finance, insurance and real estate). Many firms within this sector have left, or are leaving Britain, and re-locating to Paris, or Frankfurt. Economists’ estimates that about 40% of this would be lost within a short time, further reducing British GDP. In the midst of the current virus pandemic, many countries are trying desperately to save their economies. So, does it make economic sense for Brexit at this time? Logic is absent, but for the ONE factor mentioned above. Britain wants to be an independent power again.
Next is to watch the dates of all these. Let us do a chronology of events, and hopefully, the light bulb moment comes to you.
- 2016 – Brexit referendum takes place. Just prior to this, Donald Trump announces his candidacy for the President of the US. At the same time, London begins its Russiagate hoax, knowing full well that Trump is backed by the Rockefellers to initiate the “Fortress America” Plan, which, if brought to realization, would mean the end of Britain, the EU and Israel. So, one hand would try and stop Trump, while the other hand would prepare an “emergency plan, to extricate itself from the targeted EU.
- March 2017 -Two months after Trump’s taking office, symbolically the same day that Prime Minister Therese May formally presented her government’s plan for Brexit, and the European Commission in Brussels announced that the planned $31 billion merger of Frankfurt’s Deutsche Boerse and the London Stock Exchange was dead. They all knew what was coming. Each side was trying to protect itself first. A good example was the recent skirmish off Britain when the Royal Navy stopped EU boats from fishing in its waters. If they could nearly come to blows over fishing, then imagine what they would do over access to energy resources, which are many times more strategic than fish.
- November 2020 – Biden, through legal or illegal means (depends on ones point of view), wins the POTUS elections, and a month later, December 2020, Britain formally exits the EU. This leaves Britain and the Rothschilds free to do what they like, in terms of its foreign policy. In this, London has three aims: the first is to stop the withdrawal of the US military from the Middle East, and the second is to make sure that the US doesn’t go ahead with its Fortress America plan. Thirdly, is to work on the compromise reached with the Rockefellers in respect to the pandemic, the climate-change and the Great Reset agenda.
All of this will be explained in more detail in the next few articles. See you till then.
So, with this battle you described, the pandemic and the lockdowns could be a kind of cover-up for a global power transition too. The lockdowns are mostly active in Europe and in the US and it’s allies.
With the various news we had warning us about power outtages and the one we saw in Texas, is there a major energy war going on too ?
