Brexit, TTIP-TPP, and Lame Ducks
The Brexit vote has become a giant headache for New World Order planners. The decision by British voters on June 23 to leave the European Union is a historic first, potentially reversing (and, we hope, in the near future, actually reversing) the decades-long slide of Europe into “ever closer union,” a euphemism for fatal absorption into a regional superstate that Mikhail Gorbachev called “the new European Soviet.” The pesky Brexiteers have not only jeopardized numerous schemes for deeper political and economic integration among the EU member states, but they have also dealt a serious blow to the plans to draw the United States into the EU’s absorption/integration process via the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). To which we acclaim, Deo gratias.
Hence, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry spent a good deal of time (and political capital) during his recent tour of Europe (London, Paris, Brussels, Luxembourg, and Moscow) attempting to build the case for the post-Brexit viability of the still-secret TTIP. Many European leaders, especially those with upcoming elections, are eyeing populist uprisings and huge anti-TTIP demonstrations in their own countries, and are understandably nervous at what they see.
“I can tell you frankly, there cannot be a transatlantic treaty agreement,” French Prime Minister Manuel Valls has said. The TTIP, he says, would serve as “a breeding ground for populism” and further hurt Europe’s already struggling economy.
