    Predictions

    UK: Over the next two years, the UK will break up. The pound will drop against US $ and Euro and markets will roil.
    EU: Czech Republic, Portugal and Ireland will vote out of the EU. Scotland will vote to remain.
    Scotland: Another independence vote.
    Ireland: There will be push for a vote for reunification.
    USA: Check out the voting analysis for Brexit at the (UK) Telegraph newspaper. The demographic breakout is very interesting and mirrors what our presidential election will look like. If the UK can vote for this, the USA will elect Trump.

    You’ve been warned.

      Examining some Predictions

      Not necessarily in order

      The pound will drop against US $ and Euro and markets will roil.
      It’s happening already – Big-time!

      The UK will break up
      Very likely. Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU.
      Catholics have a numerical majority in Northern Ireland.
      Wales and Cornwall have active separatist movements.

      Scotland: Another independence vote.
      Again, likely…and likely to succeed this time.
      An independent Scotland will vote to remain in the EU.

      Ireland will vote out of the EU
      Not likely. The “Celtic Tiger” began shortly after Ireland joined the EU. The Irish want the Tiger back.

      Ireland: There will be push for a vote for reunification.
      A virtual certainty should Ulster leave the UK.

      EU: Czech Republic, Portugal and.???
      Denmark and Holland have also been talking about leaving.

        Analysis by Pepe Escobar June 24, 2016

        Scotland, predictably, voted Remain, and may probably hold a new referendum — and leave the UK — rather than be dragged out by white working class English votes. Sinn Fein already wants a vote on united Ireland. Denmark, the Netherlands and even Poland and Hungary will want special status inside the EU, or else. Across Europe, the extreme right stampede is on. Marine Le Pen wants a French referendum. Geert Wilders wants a Dutch referendum. As for the vast majority of British under-25s who voted Remain, they may be contemplating one-way tickets not to the continent, but beyond.

    Finally

    It’s about time someone put the brakes on to slowdown globalism. All the financial naysayers are having a meltdown but there’s nothing like the return to national sovereignty and liberty of the people of a nation. Funny we had much better economic growth and less effect of a country’s flat economy before the euro. Now economists are saying this isn’t good.
    Now if we could just return to real currency in the U.S.

            Donald Trump targets

            Donald Trump targets globalization and ‘free trade’ as job-killers

            While attacking Hillary Clinton and other career politicians, Donald Trump took aim Tuesday at two other prominent election targets: globalization and free [sic] trade.

            Globalization has made the financial elite who donate to politicians very, very wealthy…but it has left millions of our workers with nothing but poverty and heartache,”
            Trump told supporters during a prepared speech targeting ‘free trade’ in a nearly-shuttered former steel town in Pennsylvania.

            In a speech devoted to what he called “How To Make America Wealthy Again,” Trump offered a series of familiar plans designed to deal with what he called “failed trade policies” — including rejection of the proposed [deadly] Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) with Pacific Rim nations and re-negotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Canada and Mexico, withdrawing from it if necessary.

    one earth global federation

    A lot of people fail to understand that this globe, this earth of human populations will continue to unite in a one earth global federation. It is just a question of time. The pockets of holdouts will get smaller and smaller until the united earth federation will be the norm.

      Who gets to opt out?

      What about the people making plans to leave this planet?

        We are all star dust

        The people who leave this planet will go where no man has gone before. When that happens they will live among the stars and the systems in those orbits. When that happens whoever they are and wherever they are they must and will remember – they are star dust. In this galaxy we are all star dust. And, they cannot go far enough from Mother Earth to forget that. Brexit or no Brexit.

      Inevitable

      It’s ultimately inevitable.
      Only questions are:
      —How long will it take
      —Will the rulers be an elite oligarchic cabal,
      —or some form of free democracy?
