Merkle promised NO BAILOUTS in 2010 - SHE LIED

In the run up to our own referendum on brexiting from the EU it is worth recalling what Mrs Merkle told Germans in the run up to the Greek crises back in 2010:

"We have a Treaty under which there is no possibility of paying to bailout states." ANGELA MERKEL, German Chancellor 1 March 2010   

Article 125 of the EU Treaty is unequivocal: '

The Union shall not be liable for, or assume the commitments of, central governments, regional, local or other public authorities, other bodies governed by public law, or public undertakings of any Member State.'

This clause was no mere technicality. It was on the basis of its promise that the Germans agreed to join the euro in the first place in 2002.

The French were not so reticent after bailouts became the norm. Two members of the French government let the cat out of the bag in a most boastful manner:

'[Bailouts are] expressly forbidden in the treaties by the famous no-bailout clause. De facto, we have changed the treaty.' - PIERRE LELLOUCHE French minister for Europe 2009-I0, 27 May 20I0.
'We violated all the rules because we wanted to close ranks and really rescue the euro zone. The Treaty of Lisbon was very straightforward. No bailouts.'? CHRISTINE LEGARDE French finance minister November 2010

Dutch courage could derail Obama

Mr Cameron by holding his referendum is admitting the EU is irrevocably damaging this country. His deal is so corrosive he accepted it is causing irrevocable harm to our country otherwise why bother calling June 23rd. He jetsetted across EU watering down his demands to appease his partners. Its a wonder the emperor had any clothes left and the wretched pickings are what we must vote on.

Now in the typical EU way that already dire situation has just got worse though we may not see this just yet. The Dutch people though are not so slow off the mark. TTIP the Transatlantic Trade & Investment Partnership & TISA his Trade in Services Agreement (two of President Obamas "legacy" projects) have got them sufficently worried to call a specific referendum to get them stopped in their country.

TISA amongst other things Is to allow big US corporations to privatise "Healthcare services", as in the most profitable bits of our National Health Service with banking, and transport its other targets. See Wikileaks expose on this below.

Wikileas exposes Obamas Secret TISA deal

TTIP includes a powerful 3 x judge court which will be unchallengable by exsisting courts. One judge appointed by the corporations one by the commission and one independent allegdly. Its decisions are final and means EU members can be fined massively if they hurt profits. Philip Morris Tobacco sued Uruguay $2 billion over health warnings on cigarette packets.

This TTIP deal gives US corps a right to co-draft EU law alongside the unelected EU commission. They will use that anti democratic ability to write laws so they can legally privatise lucrative parts of our NHS. They will be able to legally reduce both wages and rights of their slaves sorry I meant workers. (After all wages hit profits soon destined for a Panama tax haven too)

Top US intelligence official says ISIS has cells in UK, Germany, and Italy that could carry out Paris or Brussels-style attack

  • Director Of National Intelligence James Clapper spoke to reporters in Washington, DC Monday
  • Confirmed ISIS was conducting underground activities in the UK, Germany and Italy
  • Said there was continued evidence of ISIS plotting in these countries
  • Barack Obama urged European countries to share information with each other to prevent other attacks

ISIS has underground cells in the UK, Germany and Italy, a top US intelligence official told reporters on Monday.
James Clapper, the Director Of National Intelligence, spoke at a reporters' breakfast organized by the Christian Science Monitor in Washington, DC.
When asked whether ISIS had groups in the UK, Germany and Italy similar to those that carried out the Paris and Brussels attacks, Clapper replied: 'Yes they do.'
He added that intelligence officials continue to see evidence of plotting on the part of ISIS in these countries, the New York Times reported.

Clapper became the country's top intelligence official in 2010, when Barack Obama named him to replace Dennis Blair. 
ISIS has pledged to attack these three countries, although experts say it is impossible to know where the terrorist group will hit next, the New York Times wrote.
Former French intelligence officer Claude Moniquet told the newspaper the UK and Germany were particularly concerned about a potential attack.
Hearing that ISIS is conducting activities in Germany, Italy and the UK is 'not new', Matthew Levitt of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy told CNN.
But Levitt added: 'It's new that Clapper is saying it.'
Obama urged European countries to 'do more' in the fight against ISIS during a speech in Hannover, Germany, on Monday.
'Right now, the most urgent threat to our nations is ISIL, and that’s why we’re united in our determination to destroy it,' the president said, calling ISIS by a different acronym. 'But this remains a difficult fight, and none of us can solve this problem by ourselves. Even as European countries make important contributions against ISIL, Europe, including NATO, can still do more.'
Clapper told reporters ISIS had groups similar to those who conducted the November 2015 Paris attacks (file picture) in the UK, Italy and Germany

He urged more European countries to join the military intervention in Syria and Iraq.
France, the UK and the Netherlands have conducted strikes in Syria.
All three as well as Belgium and Denmark have struck Iraq. 
Obama also asked for more nations to help strengthen local forces in Iraq and to back the country economically to prevent the spread of extremism. 
'These terrorists are doing everything in their power to strike our cities and kill our citizens, so we need to do everything in our power to stop them. And that includes closing gaps so terrorists can’t pull off attacks like those in Paris and Brussels,' the president added. He then urged European countries to share more information with one another, which they do not usually do.
'If we truly value our liberty, then we have to take the steps that are necessary to share information and intelligence within Europe, as well as between the United States and Europe, to stop terrorists from traveling and crossing borders and killing innocent people,' Obama said.
He then reminded the crowd that the next NATO summit would take place this summer in Warsaw, Poland.

The MEP Gravy train EXPOSED!

Here is an extract from the first pages of a book written by fellow Brexiteer MEP Daniel Hannan. It gives an eye opening account of his very first day as a new MEP in 1999 shortly after he was elected to the job. If you take it that MEPs pay has had several rises since this article was penned then the sums mentioned have obviously ballooned since he wrote this account. The titles of each allowance were added by myself to add clarity to what was going on here. A link to purchasing this incredible book titled WHY VOTE LEAVE by DANIEL HANNAN follows this extract.

TRAVEL ALLOWANCE
She went on to explain that when MEPs travel from their constituencies to one of the two parliamentary locations (the European Parliament meets, at vast expense, in both Brussels and Strasbourg), they are reimbursed on the basis of the priciest notional fare, plus an extra 'time and distance allowance'. Even if you really did travel at the top business class fare, you would make a tidy sum. But if you were prepared to fly EasyJet, you could trouser the better part of £800 pounds a week - tax-free, because it counted asexpenses rather than income.


GENERAL EXPENSES ALLOWANCE
The next desk belonged to the 'general expenses' official. He explained that we were entitled to nearly £3,500 a month as a bloc grant. 'What, you mean to rent an office with?' 'No, no, we give you offices in Brussels and in Strasbourg.' 'For computers and equipment, then?' 'No, you get that, too. It's for other incidental expenses like postage and petrol.' 'Seriously? Three-and-a-half grand a month?' 'As I say, sir, it's an unconditional grant. You don't have to submit receipts. You just nominate which bank account it goes into.'

STAFF WAGES ALLOWANCE
After him was the staff adviser. It turned out that we would get more than  £I2,000 a month to hire people. Which is, if you think about it, more than enough to take on a secretary, a researcher and a press officer, and still have a large dollop left over for your wife.

I wish I could say that the practice of hiring immediate family members was beneath British representatives, but the reality is that people respond to incentives regardless of nationality. If the kitchen is dirty enough, bacteria will breed, whether in Palermo or Pinner. If anything, the Brits were unusually keen on keeping things within the family. As a senior French MEP once put it to me: 'What is it about you English? You employ your wives and you sleep with our staff!'


An MEPs  CURRENT BASIC SALARY BEFORE a penny of THE ABOVE ALLOWANCES IS today set at £214,000 PA

Lame Duck Obama

Obama cannot get his policies through his own US senate as it is controlled by Donald Trumps party so he is a lame duck president. If the American people don't trust him enough to allow him to rule them and have reduced him to the status of a mere figurehead why should the people of the UK listen to him either. Plus he will be gone by November anyway when his replacement is elected.

Mr Trump is on record as being anxious to do trade deals with INDIVIDUAL countries not huge fractious blocs which Obama favours.

Baracks TISA (Trade In Services Agreement) deal should set alarm bells ringing here as much as TTIP. Wikipedia states TISA amongst other things will allow corporations to privatise HEALTHCARE as in the most profitable bits of our NHS with banking, and transport its other targets.

TISA UK TREASURY

TISA is already here check out our treasury website for it. Our treasury being run by an ex Wallstreet whizzkid one Mark Carney who previously worked for Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sach already pay the wages bill at Britain Stronger in Europe. If you want to stop this massive shift of power into the clutches of corporate USA then take back democratic control 

VOTE LEAVE!

He Came He saw He Lied - The real Obama!

President Obama was elected on a huge wave of hope that he would radically change things for millions of impoverished ordinary Americans. Instead he betrayed that popular groundswell to make their lives better.

Somewhere along the way he dashed all that hope when he made a pact with corporate America. Now the only betterment he is interested in is that of Barack Obama. His presidency is in decline as come November this year his successor will be elected by the American people and he knows it so what of his legacy?

TTIP the Transatlantic Trade & Investment Partnership, TPP theTrans Pacific Partnership  plus TISA his Trade in Services Agreement.

Let's take the latter Trade in Services Agreement. The clue is in the apparently innocuous title. Big business namely the US corporations want the ability to trade in services and to be able to privatise them. Its already here in the UK check out the UK treasury website.

Obamas UKTreasury TISA website

Our treasury being run by an ex Wallstreet whizzkid one Mark Carney who previously worked for Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sach already pay the wages bill at Britain Stronger in Europe.

His TTIP deal is even being speeder up after years of procrastinating by the lumbering EU bureaucracy requiring agreements with 27 dispirate members. The unelected commission faced with a possible brexit however cynically dismissive Junckers was when he stated he needs to change nothing as our vote to remain was assured, plus the Dutch anti TTIP referendum call now even  sees this urgency too.

Their nightmare is remove the UK brick when we quit and the whole rotten EU building then collapses around them. Corporate America did not spend its time and dollars to buy Obama for that to happen! If US  Corporations cash can buy a president what else can it purchase? Boris Johnston was late to the Brexit table.

Several days after Cameron untied his party Boris apparently jumped down off the fence. He has been making it up as he went bumbling along ever since. His original plan and one he has never really abandoned was to win a brexit then renegotiate a better deal. That bombed why fight for 20 years to quit then beg our way back into the same toxic club.

Now every utterance he comes out with like brexiting like Canada or the latest rubbish about Churchills statue (who fed him this garbage in the first place we wonder BSE perhaps) is comprehensively shot down in minutes by first Cameron and the latter Obama. A cynic would think the entire episodes was stage managed from beginning to end AND IM A Dyed in the wool CYNIC.

Obama has sold out, Boris has sold, out and when you realise that MPs can be bought for the price of as duck house who else will these ruthless corporations not buy? They are a spent force as far as those who trusted and elected them are concerned and a bought force of big business.

As many have been moved to sing in honour of Her Majesties 90th birthday and even Cameron has exhorted us to observe in our National Anthem:

 "O Lord our God arise Scatter her enemies And make them fall Confound their politics Frustrate their knavish tricks On Thee our hopes we fix God save us all"

Confound their politics indeed,

Obama comes to Call Me Daves for TTIP, TPP, TISA & our democracy!

President Obama who recently blamed Dave exclusively for the current dire state of Libya and hey presto next thing you know Dave is stung into action to send in the SAS so it looks like hes actually doing something about it is here on cue.  

The cue in this case to prepare the ground further for the great mans visit they had the Wall Street based IMF issue a very downbeat vision of Brexit. Who penned that report of doom why one Maurice Obstfeld current IMF head and prior to that was employed as BARRACK OBAMAS TOP FINANCIAL ADVISOR.  

 So the IMFs phropecy of doom is just a softening up exercise. No doubt after Barrack pats Dave on the head for sorting out Libya like he originally failed to do he will proceed to wave his pet numbers guys report under our noses like a latterday Chamberlain while Call Me Dave grins gormlessly like the village idiot in the background.

Obama is on record as wanting TTIP and also TPP (his Trans Pacific Partnership) plus TISA all to be part of his legacy. He is putting extra pressure on the EU to speed up the process as he fears if not done soon the possibility of a Donald Trump presidency, plus a negative Dutch referendum, or the UK brexiting could scupper the entire TTIP part of his projects prior to him exiting the political stage..

TTIP includes a powerful 3 x judge court which will be unchallengable by exsisting courts. One judge appointed by the corporations one by the commission and one independent allegdly. Its decisions are final and means EU members can be fined massively if they hurt profits. Philip Morris Tobacco sued Uruguay $2 billion over health warnings on cigarette packets.


 Big Tobacco puts countries on trial as concerns over TTIP deals mount
 
Furthermore TTIP deal gives US corps a right to co-draft EU law alongside the unelected EU commission. They will use that anti democratic ability to write laws so they can legally privatise lucrative parts of our NHS. They will be able to legally reduce both wages and rights of their slaves sorry I meant workers. (After all wages hurt profits soon destined for a Panama tax haven too)  


So when corporations have that law making power you can forget about worrying about a changing climate because every time you complain they will simply impose a huge fine on us and go right on polluting the environment. 

 In the meantime Barrack will have jetted off back into the sunset to a new dawn as President elect Trump stalks the Whitehouse after his job! 

Take back accountability and control

VOTE LEAVE
