    “Boris Johnson Sparks Outrage after Forcing Suspension of Parliament (AFP)”

    Boris can’t force s—t. He can only ask the queen. She’s in charge.

    Certainly didn’t think BoJo n Co would get a suspension through. But that’s the Queen, she can do what she wants. She has revealed her hand, and wot a shock! The Queen believes England should be an independent country and not a fiefdom to Macron’s employers. Who knew? …Also that England set them up and then double-crossed Europe at a key juncture for her own gain just like everyone has said since 1995. Like THAT has never happened in history.

    Lucy and the football. Seriously. Do these guys not read history and the Anglos?

    What on earth is that cartoon representing? They are neither fencing within or without. The prison planet suggested is essentially global. So except for sovereignty, there’s no difference; they should pull the camera back and show France also with barbed wire and also a beret-man saying “Liberte’,” then pull back and show Spain, then Germany, then Denmark…

    “1.2 Million Britons Sign Petition to Stop Proroguing of Parliament (G.)”

    I mean, good for their expression, but is this like the one where they had voters from around the globe, basically a petition of English-speakers and not English-men? Since there’s never a moment and never a subject for which men won’t lie, I have to ask.

    And it is “The Guardian,” who hasn’t reported anything honestly in the 21st century. Or the 20th.

    “The Queen’s Active Role in the Right Wing Coup (Craig Murray)”

    Uh, the queen is unseating herself? To replace herself with herself? I knew the Anglos were tricky-dicky, but this is ridiculous. Framed another way, “the queen has preferences.” Like all men on earth. How dare she!!!

    “How much panic will we see in the next 2 months? How much protest, violence?”

    Ain’t seen nothin’. Wait ‘til Europe falls to the exact same currents. You’ll all wish you were in Britain. But that’s what happens when you subvert and stop democracy for 40 years. A snapback. But they do this on purpose, making power and money off the peasants fighting.

    Oh, and any and all falls of London prices is a miracle for the health of the country and the children. It will help right income disparity, unite the country away from “Planet London”, and allow the young to afford houses. But it will hurt the rich and their syncophantic handmaidens, thus the screaming.

    “The High Price of Dollar Safety (Coppola)”

    Well, I guess we’re already IN the global financial reset. I had wondered. It’s a synthetic dollar short position, as most debt is dollar-denominated and the world – not so much the U.S. – desperately tries to get some wiggle room by shedding debt. Can’t happen though. Also this unlimited run of the dollar skyward FORCES everyone off the USD system, ready or not. Anyway, since it’s rolling, I guess it’s too late, all but the rumble and the dust and the crying now.

    “FBI Studies Two Broken Cameras Outside Cell Where Epstein Died (R.)”

    Oh, not one but TWO broken cameras? That’s like not one but THREE neckbones broken by leaning against a sheet. But I’m a Coincidence Theorist and I don’t find that suspicious at all. People break their neck leaning against paper all the time.

    “.. the use of troops in Hong Kong will be the end of Hong Kong..”

    Hong Kong was handed over already, what did you THINK would happen? They would wait for 49 years and 362 days to assert some kind of convergence of principles? I have no idea what people are thinking. They have been trying to merge steadily, which is highly responsible and not disruptive, and this is the first test.

    Since China owns Hong Kong and the troops are Chinese, how would Chinese troops operating on Chinese soil end anything?

    “but after the dismissal of several pro-democracy supporters among its workforce under Chinese pressure,”

    Just like Google, Facebook, the CIA, NSA, BLM, FBI, Wal-Mart, Taco Bell, and Pa’s Cake-n-Bake. Opinions are treason. However, unlike us, their employees have not been illegally renditioned to Greenland with the approval of Denmark, using RAF transport, and locked up in an embassy on contempt for 8 years for trying to exercise their 5th Amendment rights. –For a newsday mash-up. Just call me The Guardian. I don’t check facts: I invent them.

    “New Lip-Reading CCTV Will Have People Fall Silent in Public (ZH)”

    I’d say welcome to having no limited government, 4th Amendment, or Bill of Rights, but not a man in the U.S. from coast to coast follows those laws anyway, so what’s the difference? If you want a Constitution, we can give you one: we’re not using it anyway.

    “All 4 Carter Page FISA Warrants Were Illegally Obtained – Joe diGenova (WE)”

    I told you this three years ago, and no one’s in jail. My point exactly.

    “Someone recently commented, “When I was a kid, people used to say that ‘It’s a free country,’ but they don’t say that anymore.” I tried it out the other day. The response? “It hasn’t been a free country in quite a while.” So I turned him into the FBI.”

    http://www.johndayblog.com/2019/08/elite-desperation-mounts.html”Elites going rogue” looks at the power struggle going on within western elites, in the US and UK, particularly, where somewhat subtle mutiny is whispered aloud by prominent officials and ex-officials, and repeated, in the papers.​ This is a moment in history, well underway, which will require a dramatic shift in the power structure, to something which actually works for a lot of the people of the countries in question.
    Usually, people have a hard time uniting decisively behind things like transgender bathrooms, when things get hard.
    Really; it’s about survival. The people who benefit from the status quo don’t get that, and feel increasing fear and uncertainty about what they see brewing, the dark forces infecting the underclasses. Everybody feels things deeply wrong, but nobody has found a soultion which is widely agreeable, because the people now in control have to give up most of their stuff and prerogatives for everybody else to get healthier and survive a few generations.
    This article says to “pick a side and place your bets”. It’s for investors. They assume the continuity of the western financial system, which I expect to be an early casualty, along with Chinese banking, and global trade.
    Half of the dispossessed people in a country usually get behind a single, strong personality, with a plan to make their lives work for them, and stop their getting bled to death. FDR was one of those guys, as was Adolf Hitler, as were Mao and Stalin.
    You’ve read about that reset, but the thrust of history is always that the losers were evil and the winners were good.
    That’s never how it really goes down.
    Hitler got more desperate after a few years on meth, and massive German losses on all fronts of the war.
    He started off really reasonable, if you read his early stuff.
    Hitler was quite well thought of in the world before Churchill started bombing German cities, to force Germany to return suite.
    My read of history is that you need to really be helping enough people before things break down, that everybody naturally considers you to be part of the solution, and you have to keep being part of the solution as the solution is derived from your hard work, along with all of the other problem-solvers.
    Serve others. Look for human efficiencies more than technological solutions. Grow vegetables. Bike commute.

    ​There was a vote for Brexit just before there was a vote for Trump in 2016. It is going to be ugly. There is no pretty alternative.
    Nobody wants a no-deal-Brexit, but nobody can agree on a deal, because nobody can share the pain.
    All the pain has to be on the other side, and the other side won’t agree, so no deal.
    A lot of people in the UK still want to remain part of the EU. Some know how bad that will get. Others don’t.
    Since there is no agreement possible and something must be done about the vote, it comes down to an act of power.
    Boris, his hidden backers, and the (not dead yet) Queen of England have seemingly arranged that.
    Everyone else is off the hook and can be vehemently against it until Halloween, then say “I told you so”, for years to come.
    ​ ​The British Prime Minister Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson wants to lead Britain to an exit from the European Union without a specific agreement that would regulate the various details. A majority in Parliament is against leaving the EU without a deal.
    ​ ​Parliament will convene again in early September. The Brexit date is October 31. The opposition planned to seek legislation to stop Brexit and/or to hold a vote of no confidence in the Boris government. This would install a new government with the sole task of preventing Brexit without a deal.
    ​ ​The problem is that the process takes time and Parliament days are limited. The government has several means to prevent Parliament from having enough time to discuss the issue and to vote on it. Today it used a quite effective one.
    ​ ​The Johnson government, only inaugurated weeks ago, asked the Queen to announce its legislative program, a ceremonial event known as the Queen’s Speech. Custom demands that Parliament is shut down for several weeks before the Queen’s Speech is held. Parliament will thus have little chance to prevent a no-deal Brexit

    Trump wanting buy Greenland makes sense in this light.
    What a great place to put nuclear weapons and defensive interceptor missiles, so as to control China and Russia!​
    It’s not just anticipating mining opportunities after the permafrost melts.

    Cheaper and cheaper and cheaper long range attack capabilities are disrupting the power structure, as poor Yemenis can now accurately hit prime Saudi military and oil assets far away. This story from Iran’s Press TV.

    No USA meddling means no refugees.
    Do refugees love the USA?

    The US-based Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), a nonprofit conflict-research organization, estimates that the war has claimed more than 91,000 over the past four and a half years
    The war has also taken a heavy toll on the country’s infrastructure, destroying hospitals, schools, and factories. The UN says over 24 million Yemenis are in dire need of humanitarian aid, including 10 million suffering from extreme levels of hunger

    The Queen has no power – she is just a figurehead. If Boris’s request was legal then she has no power to say no.. [In theory she has power but if she ever exercised it there would be a constitutional crisis!]

    Here’s a jolly wheeze : Boris calls an election on 1st October which closes parliament for five weeks!

    If Boris doesn’t lift a finger the default is a ‘no-deal’ BREXIT!
