Trump Questions if Bill Begged Lynch to Spare Hillary During Tarmac Meeting

For over a year we have reported Hillary's Progress. Was Mrs. Clinton heading for The White House or the Big House. From what we've learned of the activities of 'Crooked Hillary' both as a public servant and the head of a multi million dollar 'charity' which performs charitable acts mainly for friends and associates of the Clintons and people who can be useful in Hillary's campaign for The White House.

Numerous other scandals have come to light too, for example: did Hillary perjure herself to saver her serial rapist husband from being convicted for sex crimes?

Right now it seems the biggest threat to Hillary's ambitions is not Donald Trump but the FBI as the investigation into her criminally negligent handling of state secrets while serving as Secretary of State draws to a climax. And as usual Hillary is relying on wealth and political contacts in order to avoid having to face justice and answer for her transgressions.

Following revelations that former President Bill Clinton had a private meeting with US Attorney General Loretta Lynch in the midst of his wife’s email investigation, presumptive Republican nominee Trump seized the opportunity to call foul on his Democratic counterpart.

Lynch has dismissed the controversy, insisting that the her brief conversation with Clinton on an airport tarmac in Arizona focused on social issues and small talk unrelated to Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. But that hasn’t prevented criticism from both sides of the aisle. First, as a personal friend of the Clintons, who has benefitted from their patronage, should Lynch have declared a conflict of interest and stood herself down from the 'Servergate' investigation?

Criticism of the private meeting came from both sides of American politics. Democratic Senator Chris Coons said, "I think she should have said, 'look, I recognize you have a long record of leadership on fighting crime but this is not the time for us to have that conversation. After the election is over, I welcome your advice and input,'" .

But, unsurprisingly Republican nominee Donald Trump has gone in hard:

"I think it’s the biggest story, one of the big stories of this month, of this year," the billionaire told radio host Mike Gallagher, adding that the meeting was "terrible."

"I’ve been talking about the rigged system, how it’s rigged and, you know, this is terrible…You see a thing like this and even in terms of judgement, how bad of judgement is it for him or for her to do this? I mean, who would do this?"

Who would do such a thing indeed. Some slack jawed hill billy low life who thinks its fun to stick a cigar up the minge of a junior employee and then put it in his mouth and make crass remarks maybe?

Hints Of Portuguese, Italian Bank Bailouts Suggest Europe Is In Trouble Again

Quitaly? Will Italy follow Britain out of the EU?

Following Germany's petulant refusal to allow Italy to breach Eurozone regulations, and pump up to €40 billion in new capital into its failing banks, Italy has another cunning plan to bail out its insolvent banks. Reuters reports, the Italian government may have to inject capital directly into weaker banks to bolster their financial stability a government source said on Thursday, adding Italy's treasury was waiting for the results of stress tests being conducted by European banking authorities. The results of the tests are expected to be published at the beginning of the third quarter , i.e.
next week.

Reuters report Italian sources said the government was also working on a plan to increase the firepower of bank bailout fund Atlante, which was set up in April to help lenders raise cash and sell bad debt, by 3-5 billion euros ($3.34-5.57 billion) by the summer. The source said the government was in talks with private pension funds to seek additional contributions for Atlante.

Other contributions were expected to come from the state lender Cassa Depositi e Prestiti and from a public company called Societa per la Gestione di Attivita.

And then, surprisingly, the EU appears to have flipped when Reuters headlines emerged suggesting that Europe would provide up to €150 billion for Italian banks"

LIQUIDITY SUPPORT FOR ITALIAN BANKS INCLUDES GOVERNMENT GUARANTEES OF UP TO EUR150 BILLION --EU OFFICIAL
BANK LIQUIDITY SUPPORT WAS REQUESTED BY ITALY FOR PRECAUTIONARY REASONS --COMMISSION SPOKESWOMAN

But...

LIQUIDITY SUPPORT APPLIES ONLY TO SOLVENT ITALIAN BANKS --COMMISSION SPOKESWOMAN

Which, technically is none of them, but practically any bank can - after the sufficient non-GAAP adjustments - pass for solvent.

So is another major bank bailout event on the horizon? It appears so. And Italy may not be alone. In comments that were ignored by mainstream media yesterday, Germany's Schauble said that Portugal may soon need another bailout, saying "It would have to apply for a new program, which it would get. But the terms would be severe and it is not in Portugal's interests."

As Reuters reported, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble pressed Portugal on Wednesday to stick to its European fiscal targets and said that if it were to apply for a new aid program the terms would be harsh. Portugal's left-leaning acting government (which was imposed after an anti EU coalition won the last election but was prevented by Brussels from taking power,) has set out to reverse its predecessor's austerity policies, aiming to grow its way out of trouble by boosting demand and set an example for other post-bailout euro zone countries. So far there is no sign of the policy working.

"Portugal would be making a big mistake if it does not stick to its commitments," Schaeuble told a news conference in Berlin.

Pressed by journalists, Schaeuble stressed that Portugal would not need a new aid program if it sticks to EU rules. "They (the Portuguese) don't want it (a new package) and they don't need it if they stick to the European rules," he said. Portugal insists it will meet this year's budget deficit target of 2.2 percent, which is half last year's gap, and that no new measures will be necessary after solid budget execution in the first five months of the year. Schuble is recognised as a world class idiot of course, and he is playing to his strengths in ignoring the fact that it was EU rules that destroyed Portugal's economy in the first place.

And on top of that huge pile of brown, smelly stuff heading towards the fan, there's this:

World's Most Systemically Dangerous Bank Crashes Back To Record Lows

And that happens to be Germany's biggest bank, Deutsche Bank. So what I mean about petulant. The Germans are playing at Billy big bollocks when dealing with bankrupt Italy and Portugal, but their own economy is not that much better off, thanks to Hausfrau - Volksfuhrer Merkel's idiotic open doors immigration policy.

European Union The Prison Of Peoples - France's Le Pen Calls For European 'Spring'

As in the aftermath of the Brexit, with the European Union hurtling towards the abyss at close to the speed of light, Front National leader Marine Le Pen today pushed France a little closer to the exit. With the news coming in so fast this small team cannot keep up so we will have to link you to others:

The prison of peoples - Vox Pop blog

Marine Le Pen writes a powerful argument for nationalism and the end of the EU in the New York Times:
The European Union has become a prison of peoples. Each of the 28 countries that constitute it has slowly lost its democratic prerogatives to commissions and councils with no popular mandate. Every nation in the union has had to apply laws it did not want for itself. Member nations no longer determine their own budgets. They are called upon to open their borders against their will.

Countries in the eurozone face an even less enviable situation. In the name of ideology, different economies are forced to adopt the same currency, even if doing so bleeds them dry. It’s a modern version of the Procrustean bed, and the people no longer have a say.

And what about the European Parliament? It’s democratic in appearance only, because it’s based on a lie: the pretense that there is a homogeneous European people, and that a Polish member of the European Parliament has the legitimacy to make law for the Spanish. We have tried to deny the existence of sovereign nations. It’s only natural that they would not allow being denied.

Brexit wasn’t the European people’s first cry of revolt. In 2005, France and the Netherlands held referendums about the proposed European Union constitution. In both countries, opposition was massive, and other governments decided on the spot to halt the experiment for fear the contagion might spread. A few years later, the European Union constitution was forced on the people of Europe anyway, under the guise of the Lisbon Treaty. In 2008, Ireland, also by way of referendum, refused to apply that treaty. And once again, a popular decision was brushed aside ... Read all >>>

Eurozone To Fail? George Soros Bets €100m AGAINST Deutsche Bank

by Phil T. Looker, 27 June, 2016

George Soros, the man lifted himself from ordinarily rich speculator to rank alongside the Rothschilds and Buffets of global finance, the people who can affect the destinies of large nations by trashing the Thai economy with a massive speculation against their currency, the Bhat, in the 1990s and who later "broke the Bank of England" took a short position of 0.51 per cent in Deutsche Bank shares on Friday - the day after the people of Britain backed Brexit. (what is short selling?)

It has been known for over a year that the failure of the European single currency and the insolvency of Europe's weaker economies that has cause has left German and French banks dangerously exposed to 'Club Mediterranean' debt. That in itself is a major problem for Germany, but the burden imposed on fedral and state budgets by mass immigration has left the German government little room to manoeuvre. With the number of alarm bells and flashing lights increasing every day to show that Angela Merkel's economy is struggling desperately and though the decision taken by Britain's voters to quit the failing EU has not helped, Germany's problems are much deeper than a short term consequence of Brexit. Soros Fund Management said immediately after the Brexit result its short position was now 0.46 per cent - suggesting it had begun to take profits from the trade.

However since the momentous decision, shares at Deutsche have dramatically slumped.

At one point, shares were down by more than 13 per cent compared with Friday's high point.

Banks across Europe have been left battered by Britain's decision to turn its back on Brussels in a historic referendum on June 23, but Deutsche Bank is especially troubled. The bank, which is undergoing a deep restructuring, has been hamstrung by the fallout from the financial crisis, posting a record loss of €6.8billion in 2015. Around a year ago, John Cryan took over as the bank's new CEO, with a clear mandate to slash jobs and costs.

Since then the bank's share price has dropped by nearly 60 per cent, making it one of the lowest-valued international banks.

The latest hit on Deutsche Bank's financial credibility comes after Soros, who made $1bn by famously positioning himself against sterling 22 years ago, said a British exodus from the bloc would make the eventual dissolution of the EU "practically irreversible". Soros, 85, said that Brexit was the final nail in the coffin for the EU.

George Soros made around £690m after his infamous bet that sterling was overvalued against the Deutsche Mark, which forced former Prime Minister John Major to pull the pound out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM). Short selling is a type of transaction that involves making forward contracts to sell shares, commodities, derivatives or currency that you don't have, at a certain price on a fixed date. The short seller is betting they can buy whatever is needed to fulfill the contract at a lower price than the agreed sale. One of the negative aspects of computerised trading is that it enables speculators to manipulate markets.

.Dutch Socialists Calls For Government To Review EU Treaties

The Dutch Socialist Party is calling for a complete review and renegotiation of current EU treaties, to give the people a voice by means of plebiscites on matters affecting sovereignty, independence and the political nature of the European Union, a Dutch senator said on Tuesday.

The Socialist Party is calling for treaty changes that will give citizens a chance to express their views on a new treaty on European cooperation," Tiny Kox said.

Commenting on the results of April advisory referendum on the EU-Ukraine association in the Netherlands and its subsequent review in the parliament, Kox noted that the country's government had little time left to consider the issue.

"Now, our government is running out of time, as Parliament awaits a final decision before summer holidays," Kox noted.

Over 61 percent of Dutch voters said no to the deal’s ratification, reflecting widespread unhappiness in most of northern and western Europe the the European Commission's plans to extend e U membership to nations in the middle east and north Africa. After the negative result of the national vote, the Dutch parliament rejected a proposal by the opposition to withdraw the ratification bill, providing the government with more time to review the matter.

The issue is likely to be raised at the two-day European Council meeting in Brussels due to start on Tuesday, though Brexit will dominate that meeting which may give the Netherlands politicians a little more time. Kox said that while speaking in the Dutch Parliament on Monday night, the prime minister refused to give clarity on the issue.

The European Union and Ukraine signed an Association Agreement in June 2014. It was formally ratified by all EU member states but the Approval Act for the ratification of the deal, adopted by the Dutch parliament in July 2015, has not entered into force yet.

Well We Have Been Warning You: European SUPERSTATE plan unveiled: EU nations 'to be merged into one' post-Brexit

Image source: offgridsurvival.com

German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier has presented Eastern European EU members with an "ultimatum" for an EU superstate in the aftermath of Brexit, Polish news broadcaster TVP Info reported on Monday.

The plan, named 'A strong Europe in a world of instability,' was signed by Steinmeier and French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault and presented to the Visegrad group of countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) at a meeting in Prague on Monday.
The leak has sparked fury and panic in Poland - a traditional ally of Britain in its opposition to the German led push for federalism - the fabled European Superstate - after being leaked to Polish news channel TVP Info.

The state owned broadcaster reported that the bombshell proposal will be presented to a meeting of the Visegrad group of countries - made up of Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia - by German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier later today. However the angry reaction to the leak from member states may mean the plan is never officially published. As this blog said in our Daily Stirrer post, Rebellion Against EU Authoritarianism Escalates As 8th Member Nation Threatens Referendum the E U crossed a line some years ago when the organisation abandoned the pretence of being a free trade area and started moving towards bring the political empire its founders, many of whom had Nazi links.

Excerpts of the nine-page report were published today as the leaders of Germany, France and Italy met in Berlin for Brexit crisis talks. Here are some paragraphs translated from the original polish by Google Translate (not great English but you'll get the message):

European superstate instead of the European Union, such ultimatum at a meeting in Prague, will present the countries of the Visegrad Group head of the German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier. The "passed 20" and portal tvp.info came to describing the plan 9-page document, signed by foreign ministers of Germany and France.

If the provisions of the document would enter into force, instead of the European Union there would one European country, depending on today's most powerful EU players.

Member countries actually would not have the right to their own army, their own special services, a separate Criminal Code, a separate tax system - including taxes, its own currency, the central bank is capable of real defend the financial interests of the nation-state.

In addition, Member States actually lose control over their own borders and admission procedures and relocate the refugees on their territory.

The project also envisages the introduction of a uniform visa system and conduct a common foreign policy with other countries and international organizations. The document may also arise, it would be limiting the role of NATO in the European continent.

In the preamble to the text the German and French ministers write: "Our countries share a common destiny and a common set of values that give rise to an even closer union between our citizens. We will therefore strive for a political union in Europe and invite the next Europeans to participate in this venture."

That's bollocks of course, their counties have been at or close to war for most of the past fifteen hundred years.

Their idea of a new-look state includes a common defense, intelligence, judicial, migration and financial policy, al of which will establish a "European Security Compact" dealing with all aspects of security and defense at the European level.

They plan to increase the power of the European Public Prosecutor's Office's which had already been proposed to prosecute fraud and financial crime across the EU.

The Office will be expanded to include fighting against terrorism and organized crime, which "would require the harmonization of penal codes across Member States."

The EU's largest members also suggest nation states lose the right to run their own migration policy, including the imposition of migration quotas.

"There shall be no unilateral national answers to the migration challenge [ … ] Germany and France are convinced that it is high time to work towards establishing truly integrated European asylum, refugee and migration policy."

Responding to the plot Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski said: "This is not a good solution, of course, because from the time the EU was invented a lot has changed.

“The mood in European societies is different. Europe and our voters do not want to give the Union over into the hands of technocrats.

“Therefore, I want to talk about this, whether this really is the right recipe right now in the context of recent events."

The revelation of the Franco - German plan for implementation of the pan - European bureaucratic dictatorship come just days after Britain shook the Brussels establishment by voting to leave the European Union in a move some have predicted could leave to the break-up of the EU.

A number of member states are deeply unhappy about the creeping federalism of the European project with anti-EU sentiments running high in eastern Europe, Scandinavia and France. Some figures have warned that trying to force through further political integration and the transfer of more power from democratically elected government to unelected bureaucrats goes against the wishes of the European people will only fuel further Eurosceptic feeling.

It's bad enough that the idoiots in Brussels want to destroy European civilisation by allowing unrestricted immigration from backward cultures without admitting such backward countries as Turkey so that its 80 million Muslim inhabitans will be able to enter Europe freely.

Cameron Plays Deal Or No Deal In Europe

David Cameron, who was apparently up all night trying to make other European leaders understand why his country needs a better deal in order to poersuade the prople it is a good idea stay in the EU. Unless Cameron gets what will enable him to sell the idea of surrendering national sovereignty to a Federal European Superstate ruled by a committee of unelected bureaucrats in to the British public he will not campaign for the UK to remain in the bloc

EU Refuses to Block Eurozone Integration to Reach Agreement With UK

Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann said at the E?U summit on British membership terms that the European Union wants to reach an agreement with the United Kingdom, but it is not prepared to compromise the banking union (financial integration) or the further integration of monetary union (UK being forced to abandon the pound join the Euro?) to achieve this goal.

Cameron's EU Deal Worthless. It Can Be Vetoed In European Parliament?
Opinion polls show Britain is evenly divided on the question of whether to leave or remain in the EU, though it has been suggested up to 10 million other voters, many of them women, have yet to make a decision. How they cast their vote will shape the future of the world’s fifth largest economy and the EU itself. But what is really at stake is more important than economics ...

EU’s Juncker under pressure to resign after Brexit vote

Pressure is building on Jean-Claude Juncker to resign as President of the European Commission following the UK referendum, with the Czech Republic leading calls for him to “change the habits” of the executive after last week’s Brexit referendum in the UK.
Juncker is not the “right man for the job” and should resign, Czech Foreign Minister Lubomír Zaorálek said on Monday (27 June).
The Czech minister said someone in the EU institutions should take “responsibility” for last week’s vote by British citizens to leave the EU.

“Right now I can’t see the European Commission chairman as the right man for the job,” Zaorálek told Czech television.

Asked whether Juncker had decided to resign or not, EU Commission chief spokesperson Margaritis Schinas said the answer was in two letters, and the first one was “N”.

Asked by EurActiv.com about the consequences of the Brexit vote on the European Commission, Schinas replied it was not the EU executive who called the UK referendum.

“So the ones who must draw conclusions from this are the ones who called the referendum,” Schinas said.

EurActiv spoke to other diplomats from Eastern Europe, who didn’t go as far as calling for Juncker’s resignation.
But one admitted his country could join a motion to sack Juncker at a two-day EU summit opening in Brussels tomorrow (28 June)

– “if there was such a motion”.

“The situation is changing by the hour. We need to send messages to our public that yes, we can change Brussels, so that it listens. There were many things done wrong and we must talk about that openly,” a diplomat from Central Europe told a group of journalists.
Juncker is blamed in particular for the harsh statements he made on Brexit – saying “out is out” – and his push to start divorce negotiations immediately with the UK.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel sees things differently and appears in no rush to pressure UK Prime Minister David Cameron to trigger Article 50, which would open a two-year negotiation process to withdraw Britain from the EU. She sees the possibility that to rush the process could destabilise Europe.

Turkey Will Not Be Admited To The EU But We Should Still Fight To Leave

Is Turkey going to join the European Union? Yes, it is, if you take our leaders' pronouncements at face value.
It is candidate country under the EU's enlargement strategy. Accession has been a mainstay of British foreign policy, and David Cameron has promised to pave the "road from Ankara to Brussels".
Next week, leaders are set to open a new accession chapter, covering financial and budgetary reform, while Dimitris Avramopoulos, the migration Commissioner, speaks of opening the door to the “European family.”
But is Turkey actually going to join the European Union? Of course not.
It has completed just one accession chapter out of 35 since applying for EEC membership in 1987, and David Cameron has claimed it will take until the year 3000. Britain, and all 27 other members, can deploy the veto on accession, and on both the opening and closing of each of the chapters.

Voters are right to be confused. And their confusion is not born of an ignorance of “the facts about Europe”, but of the unspoken rules of a vast and long-running parlour game.
EU enlargement was once a noble and straightforward affair. Led by British administrations, it allowed our friends in Poland, Latvia and Hungary to emerge from dictatorship, gallop through the convergence criteria (liberalising markets, ensuring free elections and judiciaries and so on) and declare their future as free and independent states rather than hobble on as satellites of Moscow.
That process has ground to a halt, the current Commission ruling out any new accessions until the end of its mandate in 2019, citing the need for consolidation.
Instead, enlargement becomes a tool for placing Europe’s neighbours in a holding orbit, with lukewarm intention of pulling them in.

In the Balkans - Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Albania – this means bolstering the hand of reformist leaders who can promise to bring voters closer to Europe, and disincentivising authoritarianism and the sort of behaviour that would reignite ethnic divisions.
But the EU’s progress report reveals that, to varying degrees, progress towards European norms is stagnant or sluggish: the rule of law faces “major challenges”, judiciaries are politicised, organised crime and corruption rampant. In some areas, reforms are “backsliding”, despite billions in assistance funds.
The broader strategic imperative is spelled out: “If the prospect of moving forward on the road to the EU is seen as real and credible, the risk of countries turning away from the EU will be mitigated.”

The "re-energising" of moribund accession talks this month was a low-cost bribe handed to Erdogan to wave at his voters, in exchange for it halting the flow of migrants over the Mediterranean.
This is the diplomacy of Magritte: Ceci n'est pas un pipe. Everyone in Brussels knows it is a charade, as did everyone in Ankara. (There were shades of Captain Renault as Ilnur Cevik, Erdogan’s chief adviser, told Newsnight that he was “really, really flabbergasted” that he had been “deceived” by Cameron, who in recent weeks has disowned Turkey).
Everyone, that is, apart from European voters. And if Britons decide today that they do not consent to playing along, it will be a major diplomatic catastrophe that risks at the minimum the fragile migrant deal, and could potentially trigger a dangerous unravelling of Europe’s southern neighbourhood. But it will also be predictable, and leaders will only have themselves to blame.

US Government Uses Orlando Shooting To Justify More Surveillance Of Citizens

Members of the US Congress have seized the Orlando gay club mass shooting to advance proposals for expanding the surveillance of US citizens by the federal government and intelligence community. Power to carry out warrantless surveillance will be increased in the wake of the massacre according to news agencies.

Julian Sanchez, a senior fellow at the CATO Institute, describes the new provisions as "an expansion of the power of surveillance and to demand the surrender of confidential records, which are tool traditionally used by to get a wide variety of financial or telecommunications records." He notes a pattern by the bureau of pushing the limits on what information it is allowed to gather.

"Some years ago, the FBI was basically told that their interpretation (of their ability to solicit) any kind of any electronic transaction record was too broad," and that, "it wasn’t to be used in an unlimited way to get any kind of digital transaction record…for that they would need to go to FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance ACT) court for those more detailed records."

NSA whistleblower William Binney comments that he feels the use of NSLs is "basically unconstitutional, especially when it comes to the gag order, and, of course, gathering data on US citizens. The gag order has already been ruled by a federal district court judge as a violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution. In this case they’re basically scrapping the Constitution. I personally call that treason against the founding principles of this nation."

Binnney is worried about the proposed bill and the potential impact its use of technology to ibvade personal privacy could have on the civil liberties of Americans.

Sanchez said, "What’s striking is there’s almost always no real relation between the emotional event and the policy. Usually it’s something that they’ve wanted since long before the event happened," he said. "in this case, this national security letter power is something the FBI has been asking for, for over five years, and in fact the legislation was introduced well before the Orlando shooting, so it’s certainly not a response to that shooting, but they’re quick to invoke the Orlando shooting as a reason to support it."

He added that in the case of Omar Mateen, the Orlando shooter, "it’s very clear that (expanded NSL powers) wouldn’t have made a difference. The Orlando shooter, years earlier, for unrelated reasons, had been investigated by the FBI. They reviewed his transactional records as part of that investigation. The fact was, when they investigated him, they simply didn’t have any evidence to show that he was likely to do something like this, years down the line."

Sanchez claimed that the shooting is being exploited by the federal government to broaden existing powers.

"The truth is, they have the ability to get these types of records when they’re conducting these investigations, they just need to go to a judge. So this isn’t about giving them the ability to get information as part of legitimate investigations. It’s about whether they get to circumvent the requirement to show some kind of minimal evidence to a judge to justify it, he said."

Whining Brexit 'REMAIN' Supporters Too Dumb To Know They Were Duped Into Supporting Megarich Capitalists

After being thorougly nauseated by the emotionally needy whining of pitiable nonentities who are too fearful to think for themselves and are now jumping on memes about how ashamed they are to be English because we did something so 'zenophobic' and isolationist. So I thought it was time to show them who loses by our voting out, who their remain votes were really supporting (and it wasn't 'the poor', 'the vulnerable' or us ordinary punters.

Here's an article which shows who was really hit financially by the UK referendum on European Union membership being won by those who wanted to LEAVE. The reason all those billionaires (most of whom don't live in Britain but in tax havens) wanted us to stay in is their businesses profits rely on revenue from government contracts, the reason all those celebs like Bendydick Cumbertwat and Ricky Jarvis (who both spend most of their time in the USA) wanted us to stay in was that they get paid for promoting businesses that collaborate with EU, NATO, United Nations and USA government agencies. Tak a look at this:

The Real Brexit "Catastrophe": World's 400 Richest People Lose $127 Billion

For all the scaremongering and threats of an imminent financial apocalypse should Brexit win, including dire forecasts from the likes of George Soros, the Bank of England, David Cameron (who even invoked war), and even Jacob Rothschild, something "unexpected" happened yesterday: the UK was the best performing European market following the Brexit outcome.

This outcome was just as we expected three days ago for reasons that we penned in "Is Soros Wrong", where we said "in a world in which central banks rush to devalue their currency at any means necessary just to gain a modest competitive advantage in global trade wars, a GBP collapse is precisely what the BOE should want, if it means kickstarting the UK economy."

On Friday, the market started to price it in too, and in the process revealed that the biggest sovereign losers from Brexit will not be the UK but Europe.

And you will notice in the graphics on the site the British stock market is doing better than the rest of Europe, and the £ only dropped in line with the Euro.

As this blog has always said, the EU only ever benefitted the rich and powerful and corporate business. All those emotionally crippled losers who believe in caring, sharing multiculturalsim are just examples of Dear Old Uncle Joe Stalin's 'useful idiots', easily manpiulated and as predictable as Pavlovs Dogs.

Why Do The Western Powers, The United nations And The EU Continue To Tolerate The Terror Sponsor Erdogan And Turkey

Not much original content from us today, the reason being us old gys were up all night watching results come in from the Brexit vote. Here's an interesting post from Anti Media on a subjects we have visited many times. The terrorist links of NATO member Turkey and its corrupt and tyrannical President Erdogan are so well documented they are beyond reasonable doubt... Erdogan has traded oil and arms with ISIS, committed humanitarian crimes against The Kurds and given refuge to ISIS fighters in Turkey. And yet Barack Hussein Obama continues to support his regime and the European Union is determined to fast track Turkey to full membership despite its abysmal record on human rights.

The West Remains Silent as NATO Member Supports Islamist Militants in Syria

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan - trades with ISIS and hides terrorists on Turkish soil

June 23, 2016 | Darius Shahtahmasebi

(ANTIMEDIA)

Following the recent mass shooting in Orlando, Florida — and other recent attacks seen around the world, including Europe — one might naively assume eliminating support for Islamist militants in the Middle East would be at the top of the list of issues that need to be addressed. According to a recent report by RT’s Lizzie Phelan, however, this is not the case.

Turkey openly supports Islamist militants in Syria — and this has been going on for years. These militants have ties to al-Sham, who have ties to al-Qaeda, who have ties to ISIS. Al-Sham has been documented carrying out atrocities against civilians in Syria as recently as May 2016, but the NATO establishment still refuses to classify them as a terrorist group — despite the fact they have been openly fighting alongside al-Nusra, al-Qaeda’s official branch in Syria. As Turkish journalist Fehim Tastekin, who writes for Al-Monitor, told RT, “Al-Nusra uses other groups, such as Ahrar al-Sham, as proxies to distribute weapons ‘coming from Turkey.’”

How can this be?
Turkey has a dark and largely ignored history of providing overt support to militants trying to overthrow the al-Assad regime in Syria. This support goes further than merely offering funding and weaponry; according to the RT report, one fighter detailed how Turkey allowed him to seamlessly cross the border between Turkey and Syria every two weeks.
The full extent of this cooperation between Turkey and Islamist militants — especially those who fight for ISIS — is outlined in a research paper by David L. Phillips, director of the Program on Peace-building and Rights at Columbia University’s Institute for the Study of Human Rights. As he explains, the fact that foreign militants refer to the Turkish border as the “gateway to Jihad” should tell us something about the manner in which the border has been controlled — if it has been controlled at all. The paper further explains that “Turkish army soldiers either turn a blind eye and let them pass, or the jihadists pay the border guards as little as $10 to facilitate their crossing.”

This is not something that has happened without the knowledge of the Turkish regime. After the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya in 2011, the Libyan armories were looted, and tons of weaponry were transported into Syria through Turkey. According to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh, this transport route was referred to by the CIA as a “rat line.” Funding for this project mainly came from Turkey, which also facilitated the supply line itself. By cutting off this supply line, Turkey alone could be the sole destroyer of ISIS — yet to this day, nothing has been done to stop the smuggling of fighters, weapons and money.

But at least since then, Turkey has been heavily involved in combating ISIS militarily… right?

So far, the only group Turkey has actively bombed is the Kurdish militant group, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) – the same militants President Obama has designated the most effective fighting force on the ground for combating ISIS.
Further, one report detailed how ISIS fighters were transported into Turkey to receive costly medical attention. This is to say nothing of Turkey’s illicit oil trade with ISIS, which was only brought to light when Russian warplanes began targeting oil tankers heading into Turkey in order to cut off ISIS’ main financial supply.

How did Turkey respond to this? By shooting down a Russian warplane, because according to them, it had violated Turkish airspace for a mere 17 seconds. They didn’t launch any investigations into the purchasing of ISIS oil, they didn’t start bombarding the tankers – they did nothing but shoot down the very people trying to cut off one of the main sources of ISIS’ financial support. The revenue brought in through the illicit sale of this oil was previously estimated at being $50 million per month.

Turkey is a NATO ally, meaning any further engagement between Turkey and Russia could have required an all out war between Russia and NATO. Turkey was willing to risk this unthinkable scenario to protect their own interests in the region. Considering the evidence cited above, it’s clear Turkey’s main interest in Syria is to provide dedicated and unfaltering support for Islamist militants who are fighting against the Syrian regime. Therefore, Turkey risked a hot war with Russia simply to stop Russia from cutting off their support to Islamist militants, including ISIS. When it became clear the Syrian regime, with Russian and Iranian support, was about to retake Aleppo earlier this year — cutting off one of Turkey’s main supply lines — Turkey’s next response was to threaten to send in ground troops.

This gives an idea of how important Turkey — and the NATO establishment — view support for Islamist militants to be, given that Turkey is willing to risk a global conflict when their support for these militants appears to be in dire threat. At no stage has President Recep Tayyip Erdogan even expressed a desire to fight against ISIS. In fact, fighting alongside ISIS seems to be his main agenda.

The idea that Turkey is governed by a friendly, peaceful, and liberal regime — as many Westerners believe — is simply not tenable. President Erdogan has done more in his fight against the free press — by cracking down on journalists — than he has in the fight against ISIS. In March of this year, Erdogan closed down the most widely-circulated newspaper in the country, Zaman. This aversion to independent reporting, which challenges his quest for regional hegemony, casts doubt on the story of Serena Shim, an American journalist who was killed in a car crash in Turkey just days after claiming she had been threatened by Turkish authorities over her reports in Kobani, Syria. In her reporting, Shim claimed she saw ISIS fighters being smuggled into Turkey and as a result, she may have paid a heavy price.

The Turkish role in the Syrian conflict is purely political. Islamist militants are strategically vital in order for Turkey to carry out its political agenda in the region, and this is why Turkey continues to support them today. The fact that NATO countries stay silent on Turkey’s support for ISIS and its affiliates reveals their actual agenda regarding Syria.
