Soros Funds Brexit Opposition Movement

It turns out that much of the funding for the campaign to reverse Brexit and keep great Britain in the European Union comes not from natives of that nation at all, but rather George Soros. The Daily Mail had a huge write-up about it which gave Soros a grossly disproportionate amount of space to Soros himself. The article was basically written by him, and told only his side of the story. He even spoke of "Nazi occupation" of Hungary as if his homeland was invaded by the Germans. Hungary was an ally of Nazi Germany in World War II, just as it was in the First World War. Once it was clear the German's were losing the government of Hungary put out feelers about making a separate peace. Fearing betrayal, Germany sent in troops to keep the government of their allies in line. Hungarian troops continued to fight alongside the Germans against the Russians throughout, just as they had before the "occupation".

Despite the overwhelmingly one-sided puff-piece nature of the story, even in that account certain contradictions reveal themselves to the alert reader. In one place he claims "I came to distinguish between an open society – in which people elect their leaders, who are supposed to serve the interests of their electorate – and a closed society, in which rulers exploit the people under their control." Yet a few paragraphs down he is quoted as saying, "Allowing a referendum on membership was a fatal error. Experience has shown that referenda often lead to bad decisions."

So Soros wants people to elect their leaders, but does not want the people themselves to be able to directly decide things through referenda! I guess he wants to have elections where the elected leaders refuse to do what the electorate wants and call that "freedom" and "an open society." Mr. Soros what you are describing is not an "open society." Rather it is a fraud and a sham which pretends to be a system in which people have a government responsive to the People's desires while in fact real choice is denied them. The globalists are fine with us going through all sorts of elections and forms of self-government- so long as it doesn't change anything.

We now have global money buying national elections. This, combined with national parties funded by global corporations, and media owned by global corporations, makes it almost impossible for anything but globalist policies to be implemented, not matter what the voters of any nation might want. We can't just say "we want a policy in X which is distinctly ours" and expect to get it without dealing with the elements of the political environment which make getting "X" nearly impossible. This is true whether "X" is about immigration, education, foreign policy, bailouts/money and banking, trade agreements, or international law. If you only care about "X" and refuse to address the elements in the political environment which serve to eliminate your choice on "X" then you are doomed to forever staying a defeated reactionary.

This is why citizens who want to maintain or regain some national sovereignty (and hopefully more local self-determination) have to start thinking about how to oppose the elements of the political environment which preclude them winning on the questions and not just the questions themselves. Of course, I think the best place you can start is by reading my two books on Localism. The blue one which lays out the specific doorways centralizers use to steal your freedom and how they might be shut down, and the red one which defends the philosophical premises by which we are right to resist centralization.
