Obama Did Exactly What I Said He Would - Globalist

If you read the time stamp on the last post you will see I wrote it and posted it prior to President Obama landed in Britain and he said exactly what I said he would, that he didn't think Britain should leave the European Union. Some of my friends knew that was what was going to happen even before they really understood what the EU was or what the Brexit was. This is not my way of saying "I told you so". It is about something bigger. The discussion in Britain is now over whether or not Obama should have said anything. In the same way that I knew what the British response would be, he did too. He has lots of political advisers and was working with their Prime Minister on what his message would be. One would have to be a complete idiot to think that I foresaw this and the whole Obama administration did not, I'm just not that good, merely trained. The expected response occurred and the conversation in England is following the expected path.

By the way, Obama threatened the UK. In his speech he said that the United States was working on a trade agreement with the EU and that if Britain left the EU it would be years before we would get around to having a trade agreement with Britain. Here is the speech:

What if the Prime Minister of Canada came over here and told us it was in our best interest to join the EU and allow half of all our laws to be legislated by the United Nations and that we had to have open borders. Would you feel that was overstepping?

And where did Obama go after leaving Britain, he went to Germany to discuss this EU - America trade treaty. MSN - Associated Press - Obama to use Germany visit to push trans-Atlantic trade deal .

Brexit and Obama the Globalist

Recently I wrote a post about Britain voting to leave or stay within the European Union. As I am not a member or a European Union nation, I did not feel it necessary to give my opinion on the matter, only to make sure my readers were aware of the situation. I think far to few Americans have any idea of what is going on in Europe.

Well, President Obama is going to England and it has been said that if he is asked he will say that Britain should stay in the EU. If I were a British citizen I would vote to leave the EU. I have heard and read all sides and I find it anti-democratic to be in the EU where unelected representatives write the laws for 500 million people. Consider how the wealthy control our politicians in America, well, the globalists control the EU except they don't get to vote on the people writing the laws. This country fought over the freedom to write our own laws, I still believe in that.

Ignoring my reasons, one should ask themselves this fundamental question. Why would Obama go to England to promote them staying in the EU. What business is it of ours? Britain is a member of NATO, the United Nations, the G7 and represents itself directly with America in most areas. Further, America, Australia, Canada and Britain have a special relationship that is far more binding than our relationship with Europe as a whole. I do not believe that most Americans know about this coming vote in England and I am quite sure that most do not care because it is none of our business. So, I ask my readers again, why is Obama going to promote England staying in the EU, how does he see this as benefitting American interests? He doesn't because it doesn't, it benefits globalist interests. It benefits international businesses, not workers, not citizens, not democracy, not freedom, it supports oligarchy and anti-democracy. Here is a fun article and video.

The above video is from YouTube and is titled, "Question Time - USA Threatening The UK Over Leaving the EU". Question time is a British show where political people are asked questions by average citizens.

Change and Moves

The building that Pimpernel lives in is being sold. These things happen and I was looking for a place to live when I moved here, so it is not a big deal. When I moved here I had just lost my home, I had lived in my own home for about half my life. I lost my home because of the divorce costs. Not the first or the last to face such a thing. I needed to move fast and a friend had an apartment for rent, I looked at it for two minutes and rented it. The building is older, I didn't care, it has limited amenities, I didn't care annnnnd, I just didn't care about anything, it was a place and I needed a place. Heck, my friend's family owned it and it was small (6 units). Small, closer to work and quiet, those are the things that mattered to me at the time. The building worked for me and I was able to live simpler and quieter and stress free after years of high stress.

I don't know how long I have lived here, I guess I could go back and read my posts to figure it out. I don't really care exactly how long ago; but, I think it was about six years ago. In the end it was where I needed to be at the time and worked incredibly well with me for my healing. Turned out I ended up really liking the location and have made many friends in the area. Now, I must leave and I think the timing is great. I am a lot better than I was when I moved here and I think it is time for a new adventure. I have no idea what that adventure will be; but, it will involve meeting new people and seeing the world in a new way. I think just maybe, it is time for me to be forced to look outside again. I think for most the past six years, I have looked to the past in my life and that maybe now, it is time to move on.

I have moved across the country four times and within those areas many, many more. In my first year of law school I moved five times. I moved a couple more before graduating. I moved three times in elementary school, three times in junior high and once in High school. My sibling have moved much more than I; but, it doesn't really seem to bother then. I think I am more attached to places than they are, or maybe they just adjust more fully. I never forget the places I live, they all hold memories for me. I guess land is like a touch stone for me, a memory trigger. When I moved from the first house that I owned I thought about my kids growing up in it, when I moved from my last house I thought about how it was a comfort to me as I went through the single worst part of my life. When I move from here I will remember how it helped me heal. I have good memories of this place and I was here when I needed to be here. I think we should look at our lives that way and appreciate what we have been blessed to enjoy.

Where I go from here is a little less clear. The problem is me, not opportunities. In my life, most of my moves have not been by choice. Those that were by choice were usually made for the benefit of others. I bought my first house so that my kids could have a backyard and more space, even though it meant I spent two hours a day on the road at a minimum and usually meant four hours a day. The other house I bought, I bought because I needed to take my father in to assist him. By the way, my father needed very little assistance, he just lost his short term memory, his attitude remained amazing.

I have a tendency not to change the places I move to, I tend to adjust to my surroundings. My sister changes her surroundings to fit her, as does my brother. I don't, I adjust to my space. I don't tend to buy new furniture, I don't have a look in mind, I don't think about what I am going to do with a space. I only question whether or not I can adapt to it. The one thing I will put up is art; but, even there, there is no plan. I put up what I feel like putting up and that alone can take a very long time.

I guess the reason this is all on my mind is because I am being forced to ask myself what I want again and actually have time to decide what I want. Where do I want to live, what sort of situation do I want to live in, those questions matter and I don't have a lot of experience answering them.

This blog is about change and what it means. While the change I write about is usually political or scientific, sometimes it is about personal change. "Gone With The Wind" is about change and how people adapt to it or fail to adapt. I adapt and if I am to tell the truth, I think the changes over my life have given me a certain ability to adjust; but, I always ask myself what the past has meant; because until we learn from the past, we cannot adapt to the future.

I hope you are all having a great week.

Why You Need to Know About the Brexit

This is an educational piece. I know most Americans do not know or understand exactly what the European Union is, how it came about or how it works. I will try to give a stripped down explanation though you are free to investigate further.

After World War II European nations created a number of free trade agreements amongst themselves. While today some will claim that the EU was created to prevent more European wars, that was not was discussed at the time. The treaties were created so that they could rebuild their steel and coal industries. Later these free trade agreements became treaties which began to have a greater reach into the sovereignty of European countries. Eventually a political and economic union was created. The political union is known as the European Union or EU for short. The economic union is known as the Eurozone; but, England did not adopt the Euro and kept it's currency known as the pound.

Now the people in those European countries do not get to vote for the people who write the laws for the European nations. The people who vote on the laws are appointed by their countries leaders. The bigger problem is that the people of the European Union didn't vote for that either. Well, currently the EU writes 70% of all the laws that Britain must follow and not all of the people in England are happy with this so they want to vote to see if Britain should leave the EU, that vote is called the Brexit. In three paragraphs you now know more about the EU than about 90% of all Americans. Their vote will happen in the next couple of months. Understand what happens there and you will understand what is happening here and why democracy, nationalism and populism matter.

Bank of America $17 Billion Payment to Investors

This is going to be a short post, just something to think about. The banks have been fined billions by the government; but, just about all of that money went to pay off investors who bought mortgage backed securities. The banks gave out loans for more than they were worth and sold the loans. Now they are being forced to pay back the investors; but, the property owners get almost nothing. The gamblers get paid and the people who were duped into outrageous debt get nothing. Why didn't the property owners get paid first or at all? Because you don't matter, the same reason nobody went to jail for fraud in the banking industry or for fixing markets. They pay fines; but, not to the consumers, not to you and I. Oh, and their fines are tax deductible, if you steal someone's purse or rob their home, do you get to deduct court fines from your taxes. I bet not.

Michelle Fields and a Short Memory

Charles Johnson - Watch Michelle Fields Brag About Her First Media Manipulating Moment.  Watch the video, you can decide if she was telling the truth in 2011 when this report was taken. If you do believe her than you can see that she was actually on the ground, claiming the police did it and goes away crying. Just hold on to that one thought.

YouTube - Megyn Kelly Michelle Fields FULL Interview Corey Lewandowski Assault Allegations - 3/11/16. 

YouTube - Michelle Fields Refuses to Answer Bilderberg Questions - Runs Away When Covering Event. This video is from 2012 and was taken while she was fresh out of college, according to her, and covering the Bilderberg group for Fox News. The person who approaches her is a real jerk and quite rude.

YouTube - Assault? New Video Shows What Happened Between Michelle Fields and Trump Campaign Manager.  This is the video of what happened at the Trump event as she was getting in the way of Trump and his people who were leaving.

Ms. Fields claims that Trump's head election guy attacked her, almost threw her to the ground and that it was the worst thing that ever happened to her in her life, she also filed assault charges against him. Yet what happened to her at the Occupy Wall Street event was years earlier and the Bilderberg event had also been prior.

I don't consider this a particularly important event. The video speaks for itself, she was moved to the side as a Presidential candidate was being escorted out of a building by the Secret Service and his campaign manager. It was far from her first time in crowded situation and she didn't even know who touched her, she thought it was the Secret Service. Her claim that she was practically thrown to the ground is not evidenced in either video. The only video that shows her on the ground is from years earlier at an Occupy Wall Street event and Trump and his campaign manager were not there. Go online and see how much conversation has been dedicated to this, it is used to say that Trump doesn't like women though he never even sees her in the video and certainly never does anything nor is it claimed that he did. It was also discussed as further violence at Trump events. When everything is spun and twisted to meet a narrative, it is called propaganda.

I waited to write this post as I have done in the past when things were too emotional in the news. I waited to write because I want people to look again and ask themselves whether or not the media attempted to tell them the truth or the story that they want you to believe. What I hope my readers learn from my blog is how to see the lies, the manipulation and then look beyond it to see the result they are seeking, it is usually the one that is achieved.

The Powerful Hate Democracy

Real Clear Politics - Former CO GOP Chair: Message We're Sending Is "Your Vote Doesn't Matter And Your Voice Doesn't Count".  Colorado holds a caucus, that is a primary where only a few people are allowed to vote. Who gets to vote in a caucus can be different from state to state; but, they are not chosen by the voters, they are chosen often by the state's politicians and donors. In Colorado the caucus would take a straw poll vote on who they wanted to be their candidate; but, not this year. Nobody got to vote. In fact, the former GOP chair believes that Colorado should have a primary; but, the Colorado politicians don't want that. Nope, in Colorado representatives don't want to know what Coloradans want. Remember the rich and powerful don't like democracy and never did.

Denver Post - Angry Donald Trump blasts Colorado GOP results as "totally unfair". Trump complained that what happened in Colorado and other caucuses and states where he was the winner; but, more delegates were given to Cruz by the insiders. People voted for Trump; but, their votes went to Cruz's delegates, not very democratic is it, it is certainly not even representative.

Fox News - If Trump doesn't understand 156-year-old rules, how will he understand the presidency? So, who does the media blame for this all, why Trump of course. He should have known that the system was rigged. This article actually claims the rules have been in effect for 156 years; but, that is a lie. In fact Nevada only recently turned to caucuses and the rules for all the caucuses is fluid and controlled by a very few.

It is time to put an end to this nonsense. It is time to put in a Constitutional amendment that would require all parties to hold open primaries or not be allowed to put a candidate up for President. If a party does not represent democratic values, how can we expect the party to represent the people.
