Brexit
– Is Germany Dictating to Britain the After-Brexit
Rules?
By Peter
Koenig
“German
government officials have proposed giving
Britain access to the European Union’s
single market in return for a fee, …
The 35-page report on the potential costs of
Brexit to Germany said Britain’s departure
from the EU risked “serious economic and
stability relevant consequences; effects
in particular on the real economy.” The
ministry officials calculated Berlin would
have to pay an additional 4.5 billion euros
($5 billion) a year into EU coffers as a
result of Britain’s departure from the
bloc. To mitigate the cost, they floated the
idea of charging Britain for access to the
single market.
“Such a future financial contribution should
be used to alleviate the financial
consequences of Brexit (reduction in EU spending
or increase in payments for other member
states),” Focus quoted the officials as
saying. … (Reuters, May 6, 2017)
It’s
hilarious! – Germany offering Britain post-BREXIT
access to the European market for an annual
“fee”! And this, from the looks of it, just so
that Germany does not have to pay some US$ 5
billion more into the wasteful kitty of the
overloaded, over-paid and incompetent
bureaucracy of the EU apparatus in Brussels.
We can
only hope BREXIT will be followed by many
others, like, for example, FREXIT, France
leaving the European Non-Union. It would be the
end of the EU which would be a blessing for
Europe. Eighty percent of the French want a
referendum on France leaving the European Union.
It will never happen if Macron becomes
President.
How many
French, or Europeans for that matter, know that
Macron made his rapid political ascent by
starting his career with the Rothschild
banksters and then was catapulted by Hollande
and PM Valls into the position of French
Minister of Finance, basically to deregulate
everything of the economy that had not yet been
deregulated, as well as pushing through a PM
decree, the infamous anti-union French Labor
law. He is a neoliberal globalist, defending a
new-fascist economy. That is not what the media
portray, and surely not what the people want.
Today, May
7, as many disenchanted French voters say, there
is the choice between the Pest and Cholera,
voting for Macron or for Le Pen. But there is
indeed another choice – Abstention; showing the
powers that be their disgust with ongoing
lie-propaganda and resulting politics.
Who do you
think has financed the massive propaganda that
brought Macron to prominence from an almost
unknown past? – The banksters, worldwide, and
their interest groups, of course. Globalization
must not die. The world hasn’t been sucked
entirely dry yet. If France were to exit the
system, like the Brits decided almost a year
ago, the globalization empire might crumble –
with neo-fascism at peril.
Hence, the
massive pro-Macron propaganda for tomorrow’s
elections, led by Brussels and Washington and
the related Big Finance and Industrial interests
and lobbyists. – They don’t want a collapse of
the EU – the elite on either side benefits
greatly from the current system, as usual, at
the detriment of the populations.
But back
to Britain: The UK does NOT need the EU. In
fact, London has already had preliminary talks
with China for bilateral agreements. If they
materialize, they will most likely encompass
more than just China, namely the entire Shanghai
Cooperation Organization (SCO), which comprises
also Russia, most of Central Asia, Pakistan,
Iran with India as an aspiring candidate.
If such
agreements were to materialize, Britain’s market
would be linked to more than half of the world’s
population and about a third of the globe’s
economic output. There would be no need for the
decaying European Union and her faltering
western allies. Let’s be clear: The future is in
the East. The West is passé.
May we
just hope that the Brits will not fall for
Germany’s ‘generous’ offer of access to the EU
market.
*********
All of
this is not to say that a European Union per
se would be bad. However, NOT and I repeat
NOT under the current premises, under the
current set-up. This construct has to be
dismantled, the faster the better. It was not
even a European idea in the first place, but a
CIA initiative just after WWII – and
Washington’s objective even before WWII, to
create a Continent of Vassals, united in a
“Union of European States”, but without a
Constitution, therefore without common political
goals (a “non-union”), and with one currency,
the Euro, that was created according to the same
fraudulent principles as the dollar and fully
dependent on the dollar, so the new puppet union
could be easily economically manipulated and
controlled.
It is fraudulent, because money
is made by private banks, from thin air, without
any backing, therefore ideal for manufacturing
crisis after crisis for the benefit of the
banksters and the rich.
That’s
precisely what has happened. And we, in Europe,
are about to wake up. The Brits with BREXIT were
first. We can just hope it’s not too late.
A new
European Union should be born in Europe, by
Europeans and for Europeans – and WITHOUT
interference from outside, especially not form
Washington. A new Europe should be free to
choose her alliances from the east and west
without restrictions and without fear of
sanctions, for not behaving according to a
self-imposed foreign Master’s dictate.
