Prime Minister Theresa May of Britain has made it clear that Britain will not accept retaining the EU free movement of EU citizens after the exit. Even traveling from Brussels to London, before BREXIT, they did not recognize Schengen Agreement for free travel. People fron Eastern Europe with a Shengen visa did not have access to Britain automatically. With the EU ruling that Apple has to pay more taxes that its deal with Ireland, BREXIT is indeed the only way to save Britain.
Within the United States, the member states compete to get companies to set up in their states and routinely off tax breaks to create local jobs. The is precisely what the European Commission is trying to stop in Europe. As they are desperate for taxes, they do not want companies to relocate getting better deals in Ireland or Greece against France and Germany. The entire objective is to create a virtual communist type state with 100% central planning in Brussels and the people have no means of voting whatsoever to alter any policy.
May will continue to try to negotiate for a single market economically, but Europe is dying rapidly. The bureaucrats are desperate to control everything to retain their jobs and purpose. They are destroying the future of Europe no less the very core of a capitalist system of a free market.
I have been warning that 2017 was the Year of Political Hell with four major referendums/elections that would undermine the confidence in government – BREXIT, US Presidential Elections, French Elections, and Germany Elections. These four events hold the potential to overturn the expectations of the future. Whatever the general public felt about government would flip. The key to a shift from Public confidence to Private lies within the scope of these four elections. This is what our computer has been forecasting – political instability on the rise. This is the age of anti-establishment (3rd party) rising globally.
However, I have also warned that Social Security and Medicare go NEGATIVE next year in the United States, which of course mainstream media is not bothering to report for fear that would add fuel to the bonfire of political corruption. But what is also not explained by mainstream media, is that Obamacare is crumbling from within. The entire structural design of Obamacare was the perpetual Ponzi Scheme they used for Social Security.
The theory behind Obamacare was to force the youth to buy health insurance and since they rarely need it as a group, they would be paying-in more than they received. Thus, the idea would be Obamacare would exploit the youth to pay for those who could not afford healthcare because of preconditions. The theory failed because the youth did not buy the insurance.
For tax year 2015, the penalty for not buying healthcare was 2% of your total household adjusted gross income, or $325 per adult and $162.50 per child, to a maximum of $975.
For tax year 2016, the penalty jumped to 2.5% of your total household adjusted gross income, or $695 per adult and $347.50 per child, to a maximum of $2,085.
The penalties are still less than insurance, which is often charged at $300 per month+. Even at $695, this is less than $58 per month, which is impossible to find health insurance that cheap. Because the scheme has utterly failed, insurers are abandoning Obamacare. There was not a significant enrollment among the youth they could charge premiums to with no expense so they really saw more money go out than in. The Kaiser Family Foundation issued a study on Obamacare, which reveal it is collapsing by its own weight. They noted: “the number of counties with a single marketplace insurer is likely to increase, from 225 (7% of counties) in 2016 to 974 (31% of counties) in 2017.”
Indeed, UnitedHealthcare left most of the 34 state markets and Aetna is following. The Guardian reported that Obamacare is nearing collapse. The entire structure was based upon the same scheme as Social Security that has been predicated upon exploiting one generation for the next. But with rising unemployment among the youth, and more than 30% of the youth remain living with their parents into their thirties now combined with the collapse in birth rates, this entire scheme is just a scheme that is unsustainable.
Come 2017, we are likely to see Obamacare also collapse. Of course, if Hillary is in, that means higher taxes to try to keep it afloat since the Democrats will never admit a mistake of this magnitude. The only way to deal with the heathcare crisis is to STOP subsidizing healthcare. If the government simply passed a law that hospitals will receive a flat fee per type of care and prohibit charging anything more to the individual, then we will see some competition for the first time. Hospitals have been trying to put private practices out of business as well. The entire scheme has been to run healthcare as a giant corporate entity eliminating choice and with not restraint on fees.
The healthcare business has been the ONLY industry, aside from politicians in Washington, who are not subject to the business cycle. Government also needs to stop the lawsuits that are driving up costs insanely by also capping award per injury on a flat basis. But to get that type of reform we have to clean-house in Washington since 45% of public officials are lawyers compared to just 6% of the work force are lawyers. Hence, the legal profession is disproportionately represented and prevent tort reform since that is their bread & butter.
So buckle up. The whole house of cards is starting to come down. Hello – Phase Transition! Confidence is always the key.
Hollande is running only around a 10% approval rating. Merkel’s CDU came in third place in her home state. Things are a moving and shaking as they say in Europe. Indeed, get ready for 2017 will be the tipping point in markets as a whole. The refugee crisis has indeed changed the face of Europe and introduced terrorism on a much wider scale. Both Hollande and Merkel cannot possibly admit that the refugee crisis has pushed Europe off the edge. Terrorism has engulfed Europe and these two leaders will not admit their contribution to this situation. So there is no question that these two leaders must go to simply change the course of the future.
We have to understand, the justification for creating the Euro came out of Hollande’s own mouth – it was to prevent war with Germany. As always, politicians are fighting the last war. They remain blind to the fact that this time, a European war will not be led by Germany trying to take over Europe. They real threat is internal unrest and civil war created by the failed attempt to federalize Europe and force one culture upon everyone. Additionally, it is the hidden rise of the idea of a religious war and the resurrecting of the Ottoman Empire is a different form. This is not shared by the Islamic people, just some leaders who view power as did Hitler, Napoleon, and the rising civil unrest against the old Austrian-Hungary Empire, which was the seat of the old Holy Roman Empire. The common answer is that the immediate cause of World War I was the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, the archduke. His assassin was Gavrilo Princip – a Serbian nationalist with ties to the secretive military group known as the Black Hand, which was a Christian based group who supported independence.
France’s National Front party leader, Marine Le Pen, has now vowed over the weekend to hold a referendum on whether France should stay or should it go with respect to the European Union if she wins the 2017 presidential election. Marine Le Pen has positioned herself as the sole credible defender of law and order and national unity. She has said that the best way to combat terrorism was the ballot paper to change leadership. Reuters has reported that she said: “This referendum on France belonging to the European Union, I will do it. Yes it is possible to change things. Look at the Brits, they chose their destiny, they chose independence … We can again be a free, proud and independent people.”
The National Front is a eurosceptic organization which has been boosted by the BREXIT vote. Marine Le Pen is portrayed as far-right because she has advocated her country should come first. However, the absurd policies of Brussels in attempting to fulfill the dream of becoming the United States of Europe, was carried out denying at every possible turn any democratic process. They had this idea of one government would prevent war, but that was also the dream of Hitler and Napoleon. They have tried to mimic the United States but failed to comprehend what made America work. It was a single language, not a single currency. Once everyone spoke the same language, then Sottish married Italians and Germans married Irish. Such combination in Europe are rare. The politicians have been so far off the mark, it is now endangering all of Europe and the world.
In the following video, Alex Jones begins by making a general statement in response to a question he’s been asked more times than he cares to count over the course of his professional career. The question always comes from the willfully ignorant, normally in a very condescending tone, and it often sounds something like, “If there really is a big bad secret world government, then where is it, and tell us who runs it.”
Alex’s response is perfect. He says it’s really not a secret who runs the TransPacific Partnership. It’s really not a secret who runs the IMF, and the World Bank. It’s also really not secret who runs the United Nations. These days, the globalists are so over the top and in our faces about what they’re doing, sometimes information is learned that can later appear to have been kept secret, but that’s normally more the result of the public’s limited access to programs inside certain institutions, rather than a deliberate effort to conceal information.
The insanity of it all, is that the global elite have brainwashed the masses, largely with the assistance of the globalist run mainstream media, to disregard what their own eyes and ears tell them. For example, George Soros admits the he’s been the financial backing to the refugee “crisis” that has brought Europe to it’s knees, and he admits that he’s funding the far-left group Black Lives Matter here in the U.S., but yet anyone that brings up either, is somehow branded a “conspiracy theorist??” Can anyone explain that to me?!?!
To make matters worse, not only has much of what “conspiracy theorists” claim to be true already been committed to writing and published by the elite (try actually READING in Agenda 21 or Agenda 2030), but there are huge amounts of what “conspiracy theorists” are warning about that have already been voted into binding legislation too. Furthermore, those who are carrying out such acts claim to be operating under some imagined diplomatic immunity, making them free from prosecution.
As Alex rightfully points out, Soros & Co. aren’t “secret” about much of ANYTHING these days. People have become SO ignorant, that no one even bats an eyelash when a globalist thug freely speaks about his intention to use the U.N.’s migrant counsel as a weapon to undermine national homogeneity. That is utterly insane. He should be locked up. We live in a time when the head of the U.N.’s migrant counsel is openly sharing his intent to use his authority to deliberately undermine the sovereignty of countries, for no other reason than that their population is naturally indigenous, or potentially more predisposed to being white. What?!?!
It absolutely shocks the conscious, that in a day and age when information is available at the click of a button, that there could still be so many of the smug condescending types, who like to laugh, point fingers, and yell “conspiracy theory,” when issues this serious are discussed. Seriously? It’s almost as if a level of weapons grade stupidity, ignorance, or perhaps both, somehow got released into the atmosphere or something, because who could possibly be THAT clueless? Yet, here were are….
According to OSF documents, half of the $600,000 would go towards lobbying efforts. All $600,000 came from OSF’s “Europe Reserve Fund.”
(Infowars) – Leaked documents from left-wing financier George Soros’s Open Society Foundations continue to reveal the extent to which the group has influenced the political response to Europe’s refugee crisis. Internal documents show OSF used $600,000 in reserve funding in March 2016 to bring pro-refugee positions into the “political mainstream.”
Jordi Vaquer, OSF’s regional director for Europe, approved a $600,000 proposal entitled, “Countering the anti-migrant rhetoric and toxic narratives surrounding migration in Europe.”
According to OSF documents, half of the $600,000 would go towards lobbying efforts. All $600,000 came from OSF’s “Europe Reserve Fund.”
A summary of the proposal notes that “the proposed reserve fund allocation will allow for additional resources to be allocated towards countering xenophobic attitudes in Europe, move parts of the political mainstream towards more pro-refugee positions, and build constituencies around a more progressive approach to migration and asylum.”
A section of the proposal titled “Unforeseen need” explains that the money is needed because of the loss of sympathy for refugees in due in part to the November 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris.
“The debate around migration in Europe has become increasingly anti-migrant both at the political and public level. In 2015, the high number of refugee arrivals and the terrorist attacks in Paris in November, have eroded much of the sympathy towards refugees that was present earlier that year.”
The proposal notes, “While Germany started in mid-2015 with a widespread welcoming attitude towards refugees, by now general sentiment leans towards closure of borders.” The proposal claims that “Sweden, the other traditional stronghold of solidarity towards refugees, is facing similar challenges.”
As originally reported by The Daily Caller, a leaked OSF memo from May 2016 argues that Europe’s refugee crisis should be accepted as a “new normal,” and that the refugee crisis means “new opportunities” for Soros’s organization to influence immigration policies on a global scale.
That memo made three key points: OSF — the nation’s least transparent think tank — has been successful at influencing global immigration policy; Europe’s refugee crisis presents “new opportunities” for the organization to influence global immigration policy; and the refugee crisis is the “new normal.”
Another leaked memo reveals that OSF is anticipating an increase in “migration pressures in the coming decades” due in part to “globalization.”
The OSF documents were released by “hacktivist” group DCLeaks, which publishes documents from powerful political figures around the world.
As you’ll learn in the second video with Alex Jones, the above referenced hack of Soros’ email is FAR from the only one of its kind lately. During recent weeks, there have been quite a few Soros related hacks, as well as the leaking of sensitive Soros files obtained during those hacks. I include links to several of the stories below.
1) “To implement UN Agendas-21 and Agenda 2030, which seeks to eradicate National sovereignty to the United Nations in favor of a globally controlled centralized government,which includes the diaphanous agenda of climate change; and
2) The complete globalization of America’s culture in order to balkanize and effectively destroy the very nature of what American culture is, as they are now also doing, throughout Europe, in deleting European culture.
Doesn’t that sound grand? Those who like to name call should have to roll that up and wear it because they aren’t cool enough for tin foil” hats yet!

President Erdogan of Turkey is clearly on a mission to raise Turkey to the old level of power such as the Ottoman Empire. As a member of NATO, he is doing really everything to undermine that position playing one side against the other. He has sold off more than 50% of central bank reserves held in US government bonds. This is clearly a political move for one always moves their assets in advance of an action.
At the G20 summit in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou, Russian Economy Minister Alexei Ulyukaev said on Sunday President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Tayyip Erdogan had agreed to form a joint investment fund between their two countries. The two leaders met on the sidelines on Saturday.
They are now in agreement to form a Russian-Turkish investment fund. Erdogan made the necessary legislative changes to create a corresponding partner for direct investment Turkish sovereign wealth fund.
It has been Erdogan who has allowed the majority of “refugees” to pass through Turkey to Greece. Then he has demanded €3 billion euro to stop the flow of refugees. The coup appears to have been stages. The claimed rebels had two fighter jets and could have kill him a will as he was flying and they had him in their sights. Why did they not shoot? He then used created a cemetery for those he killed and call traitors claiming that cemeteries refused to allow them to be buried. Erdogan created a cemetery to keep his hero status image by dishonoring coup members not allowing them to be buried with their family plots. Keep your eye on Erdogan.
QUESTION: Marty; Is the ruling that Apple has to pay 13 billion euros only going to drive American and foreign companies out of the EU?
Thank you so much for this global perspective
SK
ANSWER: Absolutely. This is not saying that Apple cheated Ireland, this is saying that Ireland gave Apple a low tax status to attract business to create jobs. This is saying had Apple gone to another EU member state, they would have paid more in tax. The EU Commission is now trying to impose taxes on anyone who paid less tax than the highest in the Eurozone. They are absolutely brain-dead. Any company should now look to actually move to and stay out of Ireland and Scotland since they want to remain inside the EU. It will be far better to simply pay tariffs than to subject yourself to their complete insanity. The EU will retroactively tax you because of changes in their current desperate needs. It is time to leave.
In the book “America Alone” written by Mark Steyn we paints an even darker picture as since all most all the people the EU is bringing in are Muslims such that by 2050 or 2060 (I don’t remember the exact date, the EU will turn Islamic and that will be the end of the EU.
