On January 31, 2020, after years of manic anguish, threats, intrigue and maneuver, the United Kingdom will finally leave the European Union.

Big Ben should be tolling. Ding dong, the wicked witch is dead and Dorothy can go back to Kansas — or the Midlands.

The lifelong ambition of one Nigel Farage deserves a Lordship and a Knighthood for his undying and patriotic efforts over decades. He will finally see the return of trade, money, borders, laws and independence itself, to the British people.

Brexit, the massively consequential, world-historic demonstration of economic populism and anti-globalism will come to fruition, thanks to the shattering electoral victory of the eurosceptic Conservative Party – led by their clever Etonian, former Mayor of London, and now Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.

And it was Donald J. Trump who backed both of them and fully endorsed Brexit as a sage policy — even before he was elected US President.  Once in office, the pro-sovereignty President has been relentless in his support and in offering a wide-ranging, US-UK Free Trade Agreement, at precisely the necessary time and to great mutual benefit. Who knows, in a year the British may perhaps even be enjoying some of our famous chlorinated chicken.

In retrospect today, in the midst of all the celebration, it is time to relate some less than fully known truths about this many decades long, Brussels fiasco.

The first disclosure goes back to the very founding of the Union.

Already in 1952, Jean Monnet, one of the leftist French minds behind the European abduction candidly said, “Europe’s nations should be led towards a superstate, without their people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished by successive steps, each disguised as having an economic purpose, but which will eventually and irreversibly lead to federation.”

The European Union and its antecedents were a product of ideologues and continentalists opposed to all English Lockean traditions and common law and instead, followed Rousseau’s, General Will.

European Rechtstat ideas of collectivism, statism, protectionism, and corporatism are not so apparent as the Blitz and the Wehrmacht, which is the reason they were successfully established in Europe under the garb and false pretense of the all-powerful European Union. The Fabian strategy of avoiding conflict while grabbing as much power as possible worked for over four decades.

Since the end of World War II, the Brits were bamboozled and its leaders acquiesced, even appeased, into the promotion of European integration against their better judgment and national interest. Some surrendered their citizenship wanting instead to be members of a global elite and “European”.

Recall at first, France’s Charles De Gaulle treated them as supplicants and vetoed their application to join the clubby European Project. Battered Britain licked its wounds until she was finally allowed in in 1973.
