Everyone seems a bit confused about the recent "Brexit", what the point was, who was behind it, who will benefit, who will suffer etc. etc.

For a start, the "Brexit" will change nothing. The UK will not leave the EU, that was not the point, and not really possible unless we are to assume that the anglo 'elite' are happy to see the complete dismemberment of the United Kingdom itself. The reality of the situation is that the British politicians and backroom boys who pushed for the referendum cannot simply invoke article 50 of the Lisbon treaty and declare that the UK is leaving. In fact, as has been seen in recent days, they are extremely reluctant to do so. And for good reason.

Before the UK connection to the EU could be severed, the devolved parliaments in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales would all have to agree to such a move. But a majority of the people of both Scotland and Northern Ireland voted against the 'Brexit', and the Scottish First Minister has made it clear that she and her leading SNP party will never accept a departure form the EU and will, before that happens, hold another referendum for Scottish independence, which would undoubtedly result in a resounding yes (just like last time). The Northern Irish Assembly is also very unlikely to go along with any move to leave the EU.

The stage-managed Brexit referendum provided a 'mandate' from the British people to leave the EU. But the 52% that voted to leave did so largely because, for the past 4 years, they have been systematically terrified by ISIS and refugees - both of which are a direct result of US and British proxy war in Syria - to the point that they are convinced that only by shutting their borders to Europe can they stop the flow and save their own lives and their wonderful British culture.

So having created the conditions whereby a majority of Brits wanted out of the EU, and then allowing them to express that desire publicly, the anglo elite is now using that 'mandate' to threaten the EU central powers with the possible destruction of their EU superstate. Given that the city of London holds vast financial clout, a departure would cause serious problems for the entire EU project. The devil's bargain being forced on Brussels by the anglo elite then is this: 'open up' the European block and its vast human and financial resources to anglo-American capitalism of an even more predatory nature (one example being the US-proposed TTIP, which was recently rejected by French PM Manuel Valls), or the UK will leave the 'union', thereby dealing a serious blow to the integrity of the EU project. It's a damned if you do damned if you don't kind of situation that has been the hall-mark of anglo-American political maneuvering for decades.

But the political manipulation and coercion of France and Germany is only one of the main goals of the 'Brexit' nonsense. The second, and equally important, goal is clearly to create sufficient 'chaos' in British politics to enable the ouster of Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn. This part of the plan is well underway, with a vote of no-confidence in Corbyn already having been passed by Labour MPs. Exactly why the Brexit vote should mean that Corbyn is no longer suitable to lead the party is not explained, he simply "must go". What we are witnessing is a 'soft coup' against Corbyn by the anglo-American 'establishment', and one that has been long in the making (more or less since Corbyn was elected by an overwhelming majority of Labour party members). A majority of those members still support Corby of course, mainly because he is a life-long supporter of the 'little people' and their interests against big government, big banks and predatory capitalism.

In short, it is interesting to see that a stage-managed UK referendum to leave Europe (under threat of 'refugees') should result in the expansion of anglo-American political and corporate exploitation of European citizens, and at the same time the removal from power of the leader of the British parliamentary opposition who has campaigned tirelessly against such exploitation and the wars that cause the refugees. Interesting, yes, but not at all surprising for the psychopaths in power in Washington and London.
