The exits epidemic - the US empire must be furious


After the vote for Brexit prevailed, a series of European Union countries expressed their true feelings about the Union. As the ghost of the Far-Right is taking over the continent after EU's complete failure to handle the refugee issue efficiently, several countries threaten the rotten EU structure with an exits epidemic.


The Hungarian Prime Minister's [Viktor Orban] right hand man has said he does not want to remain in the European Union (EU) as it fails to protect European values. Janos Lazar's shock revelation on Thursday afternoon came as a growing number of EU members have joined a queue to back leaving the bloc after Britons voted to leave last week. The Minister for the Prime Minister's office, said: "I couldn't vote whole-heartedly for Hungary to stay in the EU. "Europe does not equal the EU. The EU is not able to protect the rights and values of Europe."

Hungary, which joined the EU in 2004, has become part of a core group of rebels, including Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, who threatened today to draw up their own plans for a less centralised EU. Poland, which also joined in 2004, is leading the rebellion by nine former communist countries after accusing the old guard - Belgium, France, Italy, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands - of monopolising EU discussions after holding private talks in Berlin over the weekend.

Mr Orban also said the EU's failure to manage the migrant crisis was to blame for Britain voting to leave the EU and warned further referendums could follow. He added: "The important question is what lessons to draw from what happened, for us Europeans who are still members of the European Union and want to stay in. "If the EU cannot solve the migration situation then such challenges as we saw in the case of the United Kingdom will increase."

There is no doubt that some former Eastern Bloc countries are deeply displeased, not only by the way that the EU is dealing the refugee crisis, but also by the fact that they seem to be left out from key decisions by the EU's founding members and hard core countries. It seems that the pro-Brexit vote inspired them to follow the same path.

So, while the US empire may not be entirely displeased by a potential Brexit, as the traditional politics will restore influence on a traditional ally, it must be really furious seeing that former Eastern Bloc countries seriously thinking of leaving the EU.

The economic oligarchy that represents the neoliberal internationalism in both sides of the Atlantic will not tolerate further losses. Yet, that doesn't mean that there is no economic war between the big capital supergiants. Inside this increasingly chaotic situation, things are far more complex than they appear.

The US banking/corporate capital promotes its most faithful puppet, Hillary Clinton, as the most suitable to break the threat of the rising Sino-Russian alliance, which could form a rival alternative model through BRICS and other formations against the Western neoliberal financial monopoly. For that purpose it would be absolutely necessary to keep the former Eastern Bloc countries tied to the Western formations, by all means. Theoretically, Germany should act towards this direction, but the paranoia of the German technocrats that demand further sado-monetarism by the member states, even after Brexit, appears to be unexplained.

As already mentioned, Nationalists and Far-Right eurosceptics are rising everywhere, seeing already a German-dominated Europe. So why the German political puppets play with fire? Why do they put their precious neoliberal internationalism at risk?

An alternative possible explanation would be that the German capital is trying to shape its own pole in the European continent, creating an autonomous bloc. The German technocrats don't know how to do it except go by the book of the mainstream neoliberal economics of destruction, made in IMF. They are characterized by zero flexibility and all they care about is to start another Treuhand operation in European level for the benefit of the German oligarchy. Despite that they destroyed the Greek economy, they didn't hesitate to force the second eurozone economy, France, proceed in anti-labor measures, using the European institutions. They will not hesitate to impose the sado-monetarism recipe even inside Germany.

At the same time, there is an underground economic war through which the few survivors will declare absolute dominance in the neo-Feudal era of big banks and corporations. We've seen some examples that came on surface: “German drug and chemicals group Bayer has offered to buy the American GM seed pioneer Monsanto for $62bn (£43bn) in a deal that would create the world’s biggest agricultural supplier.” (theguardian.com) Also, the US-controlled IMF declared war on Deutsche Bank stating that the bank "poses the greatest systemic risk to the global financial system".

The problem is that until the whole thing clear up, the exits epidemic may break the EU into pieces with the nightmare of Far-Right hanging above the continent. Recall that the Czech president proposed referendum not only on EU, but also on NATO membership. Therefore, the US empire must be really furious about the stubborn German inflexibility right now. How things could evolve further from this chaos, it would be better not to think about it ...

Iran & Yemen’s Maritime Trap: How They Control Global Trade

BreakThrough News Saudi Arabia has $142 billion in American weapons. Yemen is the poorest country in the Arab world. So why can't Riyadh win? Last month, Ansar Allah seized Mokha and Perim Island, and with them the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, cutting off Saudi Arabia's alternative oil route around the closed Strait of Hormuz. Mohammed bin Salman begged Trump for US airstrikes, then backed "Dawn of Yemen," a 100-warplane offensive aimed at Sanaa, as crude oil again tops $100 a barrel. Veteran war correspondent and analyst Elijah Magnier joins Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra on the Red Sea front, as nearly 1,000 Yemenis have been killed and 184,000 displaced since fighting resumed. But Magnier argues Ansar Allah – often referred to in US media as the Houthis – hasn't lost much ground. He explains why Saudi warplanes are largely powerless in Yemen's mountainous terrain, and why he sees the movement advancing on Taiz and Marib. And Magnier breaks down how Hormuz and Bab ...

Yemen VAPORIZES Saudi ARAMCO HQ & Obliterates Every Saudi Airport

Jackson Hinkle Official Saudi Arabia's Civil Aviation Authority now confirms that 12 people were killed and 309 injured in Yemen's strike on King Khalid International Airport. Then the strikes kept coming: Terminal 4 in Riyadh, two hits on Dammam's King Fahd airport in 24 hours, Abha, and reports of eight Saudi airports closing. Saudi Airlines is now racing to move billions of dollars' worth of planes out of harm's way, the Misk Global Forum has been cancelled, and the EU–GCC summit has been postponed. After Saudi Arabia struck Yemeni oil fields, Ansarallah issued evacuation warnings for Aramco's Dhahran headquarters, its main Riyadh refinery and King Khalid airport, and footage then showed the Aramco HQ on fire. Now Riyadh is asking for talks in Oman, Trump says nothing happens until after the midterms, and Hinkle shares what the Yemeni delegation went through to reach Iran for the funeral of Sayyed Ali Khamenei.

Trump & AI Companies Blatantly Meddled in Brazil’s Election to Help the Fascist

The Humanist Report Fascist Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of disgraced insurrectionist ex-president Jair Bolsonaro, came out ahead of leftist President Lula da Silva in Brazil’s election by 2-points. Both candidates will face off in a runoff election in three weeks. Flavio Bolsonaro prevailed, in part, because he enticed Trump to get involved by promising to give American corporations access to Brazil’s natural resources. In other words, Flavio Bolsonaro is willing to sell out his own country for power. Big tech companies also got involved and waged a disinformation campaign to help Bolsonaro. In this video we’ll talk about how Trump and AI companies blatantly meddled with Brazil’s election and talk about why the far right did so well more broadly speaking.

WE LOST”: Lowkey DROPS BOMBSHELL on Trump, Israel & UK’s FAILED War in Yemen

Double Down News The Pentagon’s worst nightmare has just become a reality. For a decade, the US, UK, and their Gulf proxies spent billions dropping state-of-the-art bombs on Yemen to break them into submission. Instead, the poorest nation on earth just paralysed the Western war machine, shut down 12% of global maritime trade, and bankrupted Israel’s strategic southern port. In this exclusive Double Down News documentary, Lowkey exposes the staggering £15 Billion BAE Systems blood scandal, the dark history of Western intervention, and how a starving, besieged nation weaponised its geography to stand in total solidarity with Gaza—and won. The global military-industrial complex is terrified. This is the story the establishment media refuses to tell you.

Stephen Hawking confirms: The problem is Capitalism, not robots!

globinfo freexchange According to world famous physicist Stephen Hawking, the rising use of automated machines may mean the end of human rights – not just jobs. But he’s not talking about robots with artificial intelligence taking over the world, he’s talking about the current capitalist political system and its major players. On Reddit, Hawking said that the economic gap between the rich and the poor will continue to grow as more jobs are automated by machines, and the owners of said machines hoard them to create more wealth for themselves. The insatiable thirst for capitalist accumulation bestowed upon humans by years of lies and terrible economic policy has affected technology in such a way that one of its major goals has become to replace human jobs. If we do not take this warning seriously, we may face unfathomable corporate domination. If we let the same people who buy and sell our political system and resources maintain control of automated technology, the...

Confirmed: Alex Jones' popularity rises after Infowars banning from social media

globinfo freexchange We wouldn't expect to be confirmed so fast on this. A few days ago in the article IT and social media supergiants have just made Alex Jones a hero in the eyes of the ultra-conservative audience , we wrote that Alex Jones' wet dream has just become reality thanks to the combined move by Facebook, Apple, YouTube and Spotify to ban Infowars. These private IT and social media companies couldn't give a better gift to him right now. At a time where Infowars was going through a saturated period according to the best scenario, the corporate giants actually saved it with that stupid(?) strategy. Suddenly, a corporate branch of the liberal establishment gave real value to Alex Jones' awful performance, pretending to be the 'anti-establishment' hero - just like Donald Trump - and made him a real hero in the eyes of the ultra-conservative audience that has been brainwashed by his absurd conspiracy theories. Only a couple of days later...
