COLUMN OF THE WEEK
There’s panic in the skyscrapers. A popular revolution
against globalism is underway, and Britain has struck the first blow.
To
the dismay of political, financial, and media elites, the country has chosen
to put identity and sovereignty above a plus-one-or-minus-one change in
GDP, and vote to leave the hated European Union. As with the USSR, the attempt
to superimpose a manufactured civic identity over proud nation-states with rich
and complex histories has run against the grain of human nature. The elites, so
wrapped up in statecraft and economics, never paused to consider basic human
psychology.
It’s
not just Britain, you see. The revolution against globalism is, well, global.
Britain may be leading the charge, but insurgents and rebels from D.C to Berlin
are also hard at work tormenting their elitist overlords. Fired up by Britain’s
example, eurosceptics across the continent are now demanding their own
referendums. It’s a
Berlin Wall moment…..
Here
at Breitbart, we always knew it would be OK. After all, Britain has a
well-documented history of standing defiantly against tyrannical continental
empires. We defeated the Spanish Armada, Napoleon, the Kaiser and Hitler. We
were a bulwark against the USSR during the Cold War. Compared to all that, the
low-energy efforts of crusty octogenarian globalists like George Soros were a
walk into the park.
……Needless
to say, leftists are quite mad. They’re now calling for old people to be
stopped from voting, simply because they wanted to protect the youngsters from having to
dress in hijabs. Twitter hasn’t been this upset since that gorilla got shot. …..Britain
made a clear statement today– she wants to be free, she wants to improve. In
short she wants to be great again.
But
what does this mean for globalism, the ideology beloved of cultural elites,
banks, the media, academics, and Silicon Valley, that is currently under siege
from Trump in the U.S, Brexiters in the U.K, and populists on the continent?
Firstly,
it’s a total rebuke to the normal tactics used by media and cultural elites to
crush popular uprisings. They must really be panicking. How could so many
people not do what the media and their political leaders told them to do? Could it be that branding voters you don’t
like racist, bigoted, or “low-information” simply doesn’t work anymore?..
Trump,
of course, is the American version of Brexit. Little wonder that he both
predicted a leave vote and, unlike Obama, praised it when it actually
happened.
……the
bigger reason why what became known as “Project Fear” failed was much more
obvious, and exposes a fatal flaw in the globalist ideology: ordinary people
sometimes think about more than whether the economy goes up or down. They think
about their nation and their culture, and what remaining in a supranational
entity with increasingly open borders might mean for that. They think about political
sovereignty, independence, and national pride. Elites sneer at these concerns
as the foolish, provincial preoccupations of “low-information voters,” yet they
are deeply embedded in human nature, particularly in the search for belonging.
Against these primal instincts, the cold world of the Davos-men and the
Strasbourg-men, with their identical suits and their obsession with GDP, simply
can’t compete…..
So
it’s little wonder that these people just don’t understand why the plebs back
home are so attached to their national identities, and will fight so hard to
defend them. They’re constantly frustrated that their voters won’t get with the
program, put down their flags, and become faceless, rootless members of a
global society. We predict they will continue to be frustrated.
The
blindness of globalists to difference has been disastrous to western culture.
The refusal of elites to acknowledge, for instance, that the Muslim world is
dominated by one of the most hate-filled, bigoted ideologies in human history
is a major reason for their current predicament, and certainly a motivating
force behind Brexit.
…..But
even if Islamic countries had peaceful cultures, the British people would still
rebel at having to accept millions of people from foreign cultures hostile to
assimilation. Because that would still be a challenge to their distinctiveness
— the connection between national identity, national sovereignty, and a culture
built up over thousands of years.
For
millions of increasingly angry, and freshly politically motivated people,
that’s more important than the strength of the pound. And that’s why the
globalists will lose.

Bill
Clinton's former lover Dolly Kyle claims the Clinton couple regularly used
racial epithets in her new book, “Hillary: The Other Woman”
Hillary Clinton once
threw a Bible at the back of a Secret Service agent’s head, part of a pattern
of unhinged rage that the now-presumptive Democratic nominee exhibited, as
exposed for the first time in former Secret Service agent Gary Byrne’s grueling
insider account of Hillary Rodham Clinton.

ISLAM
A group of Muslim women who claim in a lawsuit they were
kicked out of a California restaurant for wearing headscarfs have been accused
of “civilizational jihad” by a lawyer for the restaurant, which has launched a
countersuit.
An official media affiliate of the
Islamic State released a new video this weekend praising the Orlando
attack, calling for similar attacks in multiple languages and portraying a
suicide bomber striking Times Square.

ARTICLES
“What an awesome tribute to the
British people. Day after day, month after month, voters were bombarded with
hysterical threats and terrifying scares — everything the Government machine,
the mainstream party leaders and the global political and financial elites
could throw at them. They endured insults and abuse. Those who believed Britain
could prosper as an independent nation, both in Europe and the world beyond,
were attacked as ´Little Englanders´. Those who were concerned about the
effects of uncontrolled immigration on jobs, wages, housing, public services
and the welfare of their children were smeared as ´racists´.”
Really stupid EU laws that the British can now get rid
of: prohibiting crooked cucumbers,
curved bananas, and excessively powerful vacuum cleaners.
What a gift to the Republican
Party. No sooner had Britons made their historic vote for independence than
Donald Trump — already in Scotland — declared that they have “taken their
country back” and called it a “great thing.” The next move ought to be for
Trump to set a meeting with House Speaker Paul Ryan to talk about moving
Britain to the front of the queue. They need to make sure Britons know that
America will not be punishing them for their vote.
