A lot of senior people in the EU Federalist project, have links to the Open Society Foundation, which received an $18 Billion donation from Soros.

Macron was supposed to be the independent candidate but ironically he's anything but, and is really an EU/Minc/Soros stooge.

Rather ironically Soro's native Hungary is very critical of the EU and is at idds with many if it's policies, leading to one of the Open Societires leading proponents, the rodent like Guy Verhofstadt to publically criticise the democratically elected Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

It's precisely because of people like Macron and Guy Verhofstadt as well as Jean claude Juncker, Michel Barnier and numerous others, that I can't wait for Britain to just leave the EU.

As for Macron he has an approval rating of only 18% in the French Polls, with the Right Wing Marine Le Pen and her Front National well ahead in the polls.
So are you still feeling confident about the UK leaving the EU on March 29, 2019 - in spirit and in truth - or are you starting to become concerned about the globalist establishment elites somehow finding a way to hijack this process at the last minute and to squirm out of an actual Brexit?

I think a lot of people in Britain just want to get on with it, and are sick of all the petty nonsense.

The EU has insisted on trying to lock us in to a customs union which we don't want, when all we wanted was a free trade deal.

I am quite happy to leave, as in the longer term we will make new trading agreements rather than become some semi-independent country ruled from Berlin and administered from Brussels.

No they aren't.

"Orderly," by the way, is a German euphemism for "by force, if needed."

Climate Hoax: Global CO2 Emissions Spike, Despite Paris Climate Pledges
https://www.investors.com/politics/e...ris-agreement/

China — already the single largest contributor of CO2 emissions — will see emissions climb by 4.7%. It continues to build coal-fired plants within its borders, as well as in sub-Saharan Africa, the Times notes.

India's emissions will likely shoot up by more than 6% this year, as the country tries to do things like bring electricity to 300 million people — almost equal to the entire population of the U.S. — who don't have it.
Germany is good at getting countries to give up their sovereignty. Just ask the French, Belgians, Poles and a host of other victims of Germany’s ww2 aggression. Maybe the leopard still has his spots after all.

Sort of like the Baltimore official who said to let black people riot and get it out of their system.

So you don't care if the middle class loses businesses and property to fires and vandalism? Then the lower classes have no jobs to go to. I thought Dems were so compassionate.

Do as Dems say, not as they do.

Throw in online retail and there are a lot of lower-skilled people who will never have much of a chance at a any sort of self-supporting employment.

They have been put out to pasture and begrudged the grass.

What are they going to do?

He calls it Trumpism, how is that a bingo in your mind?

Automation has been going on for decades before Trump.

Some democrats use to point out that allowing a million mostly low skill immigrants in a year in addition to those here illegally hurt low skill American workers that automation is targeting. Now if you do that you are quickly labeled a xenophobic hate monger.

How would TPP help these low skill Americans? Obama supported it, but Bernie said it would hurt blue collar workers.

Under Obama the rich made out like bandits under QE trickle down economics and wealth disparities grew massively.

It is hyperpartisan to pin this as Trumpism as if he did it all himself.

Ah, but this time, the elites are flooding the countries with outsiders who will soon be their foot soldiers, combating against the common folk. Mark my words, that is what this mass immigration is all about. Nothing to do with helping people have a better life, but they are soldiers brought in to kill for the elites.

This! There is nothing "enriching" about that mass migration being forced on Europeans. NOTHING.

Currently, all "European" eyes are on France at this moment. With protests starting to break out in the lowlands, it's only a matter of time before it hits Germany. Due to Germany's past, many Germans are very guarded on how they view many things like the Merkle's open border policies, which is basically a failed Globalist ideal. IMHO, "Hitlerism" will never take root again in Germany, but a move to a more Nationalistic view is most likely the outcome.

I don't claim to be an expert, but I feel that the Globalist ideals of the EU have gone too far and now the average working class, tax paying Europeans, of all races, are tired of paying more and more taxes that don't benefit them. The refugee crisis was the straw that finally broke the camel's back.

All I know is that if the "Yellow Vest" movement hits Germany, the EU concept might be in some serious trouble.

Sorry, but being a Nationalist doesn't make you a racist or Nazi. There is nothing wrong in loving one's country and culture. And more important, placing your citizens first BEFORE helping other countries.
