The Brexit vote has met with pretty much the exact type of teeth gnashing and complaining one would expect. Those with a vested interest in keeping the gravy train rolling are pulling their hair out looking for legal tricks to keep it from happening while those in other countries in similar circumstances to the EU who rely solely on government theft and redistribution are pointing to socialist "Benefits" as reasons to shy away from personal responsibility.
You will lose your social security, welfare, pensions, free healthcare etc.
Of course the "globalist" or as they should be called the parasites will lose these benefits anyway. If not from the direct result of a crumbling Ponzi scheme on steroids (which is what these programs really are) then because of a mandatory shift of where the stolen resources go which is already happening. Social security payouts are declining fast on the individual level as inflation continues and the government needs more and more resources for their immigration people replacement hail Mary play program. If you don't receive one of the many government programs, pensions or checks on top of your social security you are already sentenced to an old age of working retirement anyway just to make ends meet.
Either way the end of the Parasite age is not going to be pretty. There isn't any way to sugar coat it at this point either someone has to humble themselves or we all go down the sewer. The only real difference is that as it stands most can either chose to continue to be parasites and sentence their grand children to cultural and racial extinction or sacrifice the luxury and give those children a chance.
There is a third option though which I think most that come here have chosen. We can keep ourselves apart and live in two worlds at once knowing with certainty that at some point the host will be unable to feed the parasites and we must then be prepared to teach those who remain to provide for themselves.
Ultimately the Brexit vote has shown us that the numbers who are now on the financial victim side of this great government wealth redistribution are growing. Enough people are being squeezed that they still out number the parasites so there is some hope at least in Great Britain. Not sure if there are enough non-parasites in the US these days since our government can overspend by so much more. With the rumors of a Texit movement though we might find out.
Keep Prepping Everyone!!!!!
If there is a Texit, then I'm packing the family up an moving. With both the wife and I in the medical arena it shouldn't be too hard career wise.
ReplyDeleteK - My bet is if there is a Texit that our states would end up with Texas anyway before too long. Arkansas prolly more than Missouri as Mo has St. Louis and KC to tangle with that screw the numbers over worse. Arkansas does seem to have some deeply embedded democrat companies though too but ultimately the people will decide I think.
Deletekc can go to kansas, if they'll take it, but with the river and the neighbors don't know what you could do with
Deletest louis.
I see the potential for WW3. The human race needs a cull.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I think the next war will be on the NA continent.
DeleteYes but WWIII is going to be a totally different animal than all the others. I think it will be more like a war royal kinda thing with more sides and factions by the time it's over than ever seen before.
Deletedave wilkerson [sword and the switchblade] foresaw nuclear destruction here. hope God will warn us in time, if there is time.
Deleteglad 'k' and wife are young enough and skilled enough to pull off a move.
we are not and get social insecurity. child gets food stamps and medicaid. cannot live without these helps. a bit old and worn out for another move.
must shelter in place as long as possible. most worried for the offspring.
many in our boat, esp. the widow ladies.
Everyone in the UK upon reaching retirement age is entitled to state pension even if they have spent there whole life on state benifits and never worked and never contributed, which is a nice little sum, throughout there working life they have the option to take out a private pension on top of state pension, there is no such thing as a poor pensior, they can also get housing benifit to pay there rent, free medication winter fuel allowance, free bus passes, free dental care and options, they also have like everyone else free medical care, there is no such thing as a poor pensioner, they can choose to work if they want and still get there state pension and many do, our pensioner are the ones with a disposable income, there are those who wish to spend there pension on smoking, drinking rescuing hundreds of cats or living beyond there means that is there choice, there are also the ones who squirrel there money away and live in a poverty situation again its there choice. I am happy we got the leave vote and look forward to seeing a new UK emerge from all this mess, people have to start taking responsibility for themselves and stop depending on the powers that be for everything, we are are bunch of softies and allowed ourselves to become a nanny state. Time to grow up and let go of the apron strings.
ReplyDeleteDawn - I saw several comments that pointed at the older voters as the ones who wanted to leave but I wonder if maybe it was those in the middle. The ones who are being taxed to pay all those pensioners?
DeleteI really don't know the particulars of the Brexit break down. I only can sense how it is being perceived by the welfare crowd here in the states.
Go Dawn! I'm with you on all of that!
DeletePart of the problem with Brexit vite is that they allowed non-citizens to vote if they were in the UK and mail in ballets with no check that those were actual citizens and they still lost to the average joe who knows leaving is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteAlso look at the areas that voted to predominatly stay and you'll see that they are usually either urban rich or urban areas populated by immigrants. Plus of course Scottland land of welfare voted to stay.
It shows a sharp divide.
Exile1981
Exile - I did notice a few thousands of votes that were thrown out in the tally. It didn't mention why though.
DeleteI been wondering about Scotland and thinking maybe the real difference there is that the urban areas are just too powerful there and over rode the rural areas. Perhaps the rural Scots voted with the rural English?
Scotland is sparsley populted and there was not a big leave campaign there because there MPs wanted to stay, t was predicted that Wales would vote to stay very rural and very dependent on the payouts from the EU how wrong they were Wales voted majority out, there never was a good argument from the remain side, only British citizens were allowed to vote, the votes that were thrown out were because the voting slip was either marked to identify the voter, the person voted in both options or it was a deliberate spoiled vote, with each area count there was a break down on those not counted. Scotland is neither urban rich or an area populated by immigrants.
DeletePlease people, if you don't use the correct word, the meaning is difficult to follow. Their.....there.
ReplyDeletei no what ewe mean jane
Deleteyou're freind
kimber
Now kimber-troll please do not refer to readers and commenters as sheep.
DeleteIt could get confusing :)
Where's the confusion? Everywon nose that doze who have the bucks are rolling in doe...
DeletePetty comments and nothing but!
DeletePersonally I think we have the classic case of nothing being as good or as bad as first reports indicate. Though at this point I'd be tempted by a #MOving-Out petition.
ReplyDeleteOdy - Ya I imagine there was a lot of scare tactics going on by the remain guys.
DeleteMo would almost need a Southern ally though since we are so land locked.
I have to mention the British PM David Cameron....Standing by his "ethics" and taking moral high ground by resigning...duh he has made his Billions from the political arena and can now use this excuse to do his own "Dexit"!
ReplyDeleteI say Good for the British and I suspect the ramifications will rumble around the world for some time to come.
Fiona - I hope so. I hope it kindles a nice independent spark!!!
DeleteNow they will have something to blame the next financial crisis on instead of their failed globalist policies, it is BREXIT.
ReplyDeleteSf - I am sure you are 100% correct on that prediction!!!
DeleteFrom a purely political science point of view (my degree, once upon a time) this is high theater indeed. On the whole I am for decentralization and an event like this (i.e. "First World") has not happened in our lifetimes.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I have read (surface only) Northern Ireland and Scotland had a majority of "Remain". If they are in the position that they receive more benefits from the UK that they pay in taxes, I suspect they will find the EU somewhat less willing to bring them back into the fold. At some point, they need revenue generators, not revenue takers.
I am looking forward to the additional votes I foresee coming as a result of this - not only internationally but nationally (U.S.). I think a lot of discussion about the natural of the social compact and the rights of the governed are going to come up - and that is a good thing, in my book.
TB - Ya I can only speculate as to N. Ireland and Scotland's votes. Haven't been in that part of the world in a very long time and that was way before even the common market talk started.
DeleteScotland cannot afford to go it alone particularly when some 320,000 jobs rely directly on Westminster and that's not including the military. Moving those South of the border will give them an instant unemployment rate of 23 percent.
ReplyDeletePP, the EU cannot threaten pensions, free health care, social security etc because we already had them all prior to joining the EU and they are funded y national taxation. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all received EU funds but it was only our own money recycled back to us. The UK is a net contributor and thus brexit is an instant gain for the taxpayer.
Incidentally much is being mad about the turnout for the referendum but they all shut up when you point out that the turnout for the original referendum to join the EU was far lower at 64 percent but it was still binding.
All i can say is it's good to be free Again!
Ro - As I understand it though GB's pensions and other promises are in worse shape than the US's although I will grant you a lot of that is probably due to the petro dollar/reserve currency thing.
DeleteWhat I don't understand though is why so many "Brits" were so against Scotland leaving the last time around. I am all for smaller governments across the board and traditional ethnic groups governing themselves for the most part.
That is very interesting about the vote into the EU I will remember that!!!
Most of us were not against Scotland leaving, in fact if the decision were owed on by the British public I have little doubt they'd be out. What people were against is the SNPs assumption that they could still use the pound, have the bank of England backing their financial decisions without any say in those decisions. The assumption that Scotland would already be in the EU when actually it would take them a decade to join. The assumption that independence would mean that the UKs military would still cover them and that the NHS would still treat them. They wanted all the plus points of independence but not to actually have to a their own bills.
ReplyDeleteThe pensions etc can still be comfortably covered from taxation though they are raising the retirement age because we are living longer. On a private pension you can retire at 50 though should you want to. Of course with brexit the money pot just increased because we are no longer sending money out of the country.
As much as Scotland likes to think of itself as a distinct ethnic group that ship sailed a hundred years ago as it did for us Welsh and indeed for NI. The braveheart effect was just a Hollywood notion. The SNP just chose to exploit it and have done ever since. There are regional differences but intermarriage has long seen off any real claim of ethnic grouping. It'd be as ridiculous as claiming to be native American with just a few percent of that blood line.
