5 strong reasons to leave EU

5 Strongest Reasons to Vote Leave In the EU Referendum

By Christopher J. Green

With the EU referendum on June 23rd looming large on the horizon, the Remain camp continues to deploy fear as the main weapon of persuasion against the British people.

Instead of pointing to a long proud record of benefits brought by the European Union, the people are warned of “ten plagues” that will hit them should they vote for Brexit.

It’s a bit like going for a job interview and warning your prospective employer of all manner of doom and gloom scenarios should he fail to hire you and choose a candidate with a glowing CV instead.

I am strongly opposed to the European Union and here are my five rock-solid reasons to Vote Leave based on the record of this failed, bureaucratic, undemocratic leviathan.

The first concerns deception. Jean Monnet, the man credited as being the Godfather of the European federal project, always wanted to abolish nation states and create a single European government.

The reason was not, as many believe, to prevent nations going to war with each other rather France’s inability to match Germany’s industrial power, particularly coal and steel production, and therefore its ability to wage war.

In 1955, Monnet had proposed unity between the Benelux countries. He and fellow federalist the Belgian politician Paul Spaak composed what became known as the “Benelux Memorandum” which proposed a working group be created to draft treaties for a “United States of Europe”.

Spaak amended Monnet’s original proposal to say “Common Market” instead. Thus the deception was born.

The European federal supra-state would be sold to the people as a trading bloc to disguise the real intention of political union.

Fast-forward to today and the EU supra-state is reality, complete with its own flag and anthem.

A supra-state the British people have never voted for! In June 1975, a referendum was held and the following question was put to the British people:

Do you think the United Kingdom should stay in the European Community (the Common Market)?

At the time, the abbreviation EEC was commonly used: European Economic Community and it was usually referred to as the “Common Market”.

The British people voted to remain in what they believed was nothing more than a trading bloc, completely unaware they were being deceived.

They did not vote to surrender sovereignty to Brussels which is what has occurred by stealth since 1975.

“In 1975 I campaigned as a Conservative parliamentary candidate for a “yes” vote in the referendum that kept us in the EC.

"In retrospect it is abundantly clear that I campaigned on a prospectus that was sufficiently false to ensure that, if the issue had been a public offer in securities I would face prosecution under the provisions of Companies Act and I would lose.”  – Tom Benyon, letter to The Times, 29th May 2003

As the Arabs say, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Next comes duplication and in particular, serving two masters. I believe it is unquestionably immoral to force the people to serve and to pay extortionate taxes to two governments.

And in the case of the European Union, the British people are paying tax to an undemocratic government which is not directly accountable to the British electorate.

Value Added Tax – VAT – is the deceptively named indirect tax adopted at the behest of the French by the EEC in 1967. A 10% levy would be added to goods and services and it turned businesses into unpaid tax collectors.

When the disastrous credit crunch crisis of 2008 struck, plunging the nations of the EU into a deep recession, the commissars in Brussels decided to punish the people.

Instead of punishing the banksters for their irresponsible and in many cases, criminal actions, the EU decided to impose severe austerity measures on its people. In the UK, VAT was raised from an already punitive 17.5% to 20%.

I was living in beautiful Barcelona at the time so let me give you a little example of how the Spanish people were punished: A single ticket to travel on the city’s underground railway –The Metro – went from €1,30 to €2,30 overnight. This was just one of many austerity measures, including a big reduction of state benefits.

Meanwhile, those who had caused the crisis, the unscrupulous bankers and the incompetent EU politicians, continued to be paid vastly inflated salaries and bonuses, unaffected by the economic mess they had created.

Yet the Remain side warn of “increasing prices” and a “year-long recession” should Britain vote for Brexit.

Given the increase in indirect taxation and the fact that countries like Greece, Spain, Italy and Portugal still haven’t recovered from the credit crunch, it beggars belief anyone can take this seriously.

And why do we need to be governed by two governments? If the British people vote to remain in the EU then let that mean an abolition of the British parliament.

It might as well because around 80% of Britain’s laws are made by the EU anyway.

Talking of euros leads me to a third reason to vote leave. If anything illustrates the failure of the European Union supra-state it is the atrocious state of the eurozone. - http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/may/20/brexit-best-answer-to-dying-eurozone-eu-undemocratic-elite

The European single currency, the euro, is so toxic no British government would dare to ditch the pound and adopt the euro as almost all other EU member states have.

The Remain side insist the European Union is good for Britain, that Britain will be a more prosperous nation in the EU.  This begs the question:

If the EU is so good for the British economy why doesn’t the British government take the nation “all in” as other nations such as the mighty Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and our close neighbours Ireland have and adopt the single currency?

The reluctance of British governments to ditch the pound for the failing euro highlights the folly of the Remain position.

Britons aren’t being asked to vote to stay in the European Union because Britain really isn't fully in it! Due to the instability and failure of the single currency, what Britons are voting on is EU lite.

Furthermore, British Prime Minister David Cameron is telling the British people the European Union is good for Britain but at the same time, he wants it to be reformed!

Yet the deal he claims to have agreed isn’t legally binding. It just doesn’t make any sense does it? - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3534934/Cameron-s-EU-renegotiation-deal-hammered-local-bazaar-isn-t-legally-binding-says-eurocrat.html

The dire state of the euro should be a clear warning that the idea of a federal European supra-state is doomed but rather than admit this, the political and globalist elites continue with their fantasy and punish the people when reality hits.

A vote to remain in the EU is merely voting for the privilege of being punished when things go wrong, as they have a habit of doing in the European Union.

The fourth rock-solid reason to vote leave concerns centralization. History tells us what happens under a centralised, bureaucratic, undemocratic government leviathan.

As both Conservatives and Labour support devolution in Britain – witness the Northern Irish and Welsh assemblies and the Scottish parliament – the Remain camp, featuring politicians from both parties, want Britain to be shackled to a cumbersome, authoritarian central government in Brussels.

Recent history teaches us a very important lesson about the road centralization leads to.

Hitler’s totalitarian National Socialist Germany and the even more brutal Union of Soviet Socialist Republics are perhaps the worst examples I can cite.

But perhaps the biggest lesson to be learned comes from the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia which broke up in 1991 after the region descended into a catastrophic civil war.

Manacling different peoples together under one controlling centralized government I believe is a very dangerous path to go down.

By tying together the fates of Northern and Southern European nations, the ever-expanding EU is Balkanizing Western Europe and the question of identity is being ignored.

There was no such identity as “Soviet” and no such identity as “Yugoslav” and there is most definitely no such identity as “European”.

The various peoples of Europe are dramatically different and have their own traditions, customs and cultures.

The euro has failed because of these differences leading to wealthier industrialized Northern European states bailing out weaker, inefficient Southern European states.

After the peoples of the USSR, Eastern Europe and Yugoslavia overthrew centralised, oppressive systems of governance, the peoples of Western Europe are being tricked into embracing one.

I firmly believe that forcing people to adopt a faux “European” identity will never work and is an extremely dangerous road to go down.

I want to state quite clearly that I regard myself as British. One thing I deeply resent is the Remain side claiming opposition to the EU is opposition to Europe.

I love Britain, I love Europe, and I’ve lived in Spain and enjoyed every second of my time there.

The EU is not Europe and I will never, ever recognize the EU flag nor pledge allegiance to the European Union.

I will return to this vitally important issue should the British people vote to remain in the EU in the coming referendum because very serious issues will be raised, too many to go into here.

Finally and the most damning reason of all: The European Union is importing Islamic jihad into Europe.

Despite Europol warning that Islamic State (ISIS) has managed to smuggle in 5000 jihadists thanks to the EU’s grossly irresponsible open borders policy, the EU stubbornly refuses to listen and continues to allow immigrants to pour in.

As if that wasn’t enough, the EU commissars are about to award free travel to 75 million Turkish citizens. Under threats from Turkey who say they’ll send in even more refugees if they don’t get it!

Importing jihad into Europe began during the terrible civil war in the former Yugoslavia when the European Union (then the European Community) sided with Islamic jihad against the Serbs. - http://www.christopherjgreen.com/betrayal-of-radavan-karadzic/

The same jihad that hit the Serbs is now hitting the people of Europe and it all goes back to the actions of the EC in the Balkans.

Far from being a force for peace, the EU has deliberately placed its own people in grave danger and continues to pour oil on the fire.

It would be reasonable to think that after the murderous Islamic jihad attacks in Paris and Brussels, the mass sexual assaults in Cologne and other European cities on New Year’s Eve and the gang rape epidemics in Britain and Scandinavia, the EU would reconsider its open border policy and close the borders.

Alas no, and it is the opinion of this author that the EU is deliberately importing jihad into Western Europe as it did in the Balkans.

Such actions constitute one of the worst betrayals of a people in European history and I believe leaders such as Angela Merkel, François Hollande, Mark Rutte and David Cameron are committing treason.

Clearly, a vote to remain in the EU is a vote for more jihad and is the equivalent of turkeys voting for Christmas.

Importing jihad into Europe is sufficient reason by itself to vote leave. But when combined with the other four, you have strong evidence to show Brexit is the best choice for a safer, wealthier, independent Britain.
