Forget Left and Right: The New Fault-Line is Patriots versus Globalists

‘The European Union said there was nothing else available…so this is the deal that is right for the UK., in the filed Brexit withdrawal negotiations.

Does this sound like the leader of a proud and productive nation, the fifth-biggest economy in the world, and the very founder of modern democracy?

Peddling the withdrawal agreement on a flight to the G20 meeting, prime minister Theresa May displayed the supplicant status that her government has taken throughout the protracted Brexit negotiations.

Where is the bulldog spirit?

Where is the ‘Great’ in Great Britain?

Sadly, May’s stance is typical of political establishments across the Western world. Since the Second World War, most liberal politicians have been hoodwinking and herding their citizens towards post-nation globalism.

The patriotism of common people is derided, if not excoriated.

We see this all the time in attacks on President Trump by the media, by Never Trumpers, by globalists and by academics.

Mass immigration has dramatically changed the demography of the UK and other European countries, as well as the US, shifting the electoral balance in major cities. But the culprits of the demise of national identity in society are not the incomers but a middle class so ashamed of their country that any expression of national sentiment is now perceived as ‘far right,’ xenophobic or racist.

This pejorative use of the label ‘right’ is a convenient means of vilifying opposition to the prevailing set of liberal opinions, now literally policed as ‘hate crime’.

Students are more likely to see themselves on the left of the political spectrum, but scratch below the surface and you will find that the fault-line is not really socialism versus capitalism. They won’t get their smart phones or skinny lattes from nationalised industry. Unlike the radical campus activists of the late 1960s, today’s students are in fact very pro-establishment.

The social divide, which in the USA is openly discussed as a ‘culture war’, was perhaps best conceptualised by David Goodhart in his book The Road to Somewhere.

On one side are Anywheres, the graduate class who populate the upper echelons of our political and cultural institutions, and who dominate professions such as teaching. Upwardly mobile, they have little sense of belonging to their hometown or country. These rootless ‘citizens of the world’ contrast starkly with Somewheres, who value their families, community bonds and nationhood, and who see the impact of globalisation as a threat to their culture.

You are more likely to find Somewheres in the pub, and Anywheres in an expensive, trendy ethnic urban restaurant.

The Somewheres are more numerous – they are the ordinary people.

Are they left or right? Ask them about public services and unscrupulous business practices and they will espouse state provision and regulation. But ask them about Queen and country, or the extremes of identity politics (such as transgenderism) and they will appear more conservative than progressive. Indeed, Somewheres are a mixture of working class Labour voters and ‘Middle England’ Tories.

Brexit has exposed the redundancy of the old left versus right dichotomy.

It Is Highly Likely Mueller Hacks Doctored 302 Document — Dated Months After They Ambushed General Flynn… They Hid Evidence Before!

Mueller gang used certified notes with General Flynn that were dated seven months after the date when the General was ambushed by the FBI in the White House.

The 302 reports delays and edits definitely lead the casual observer to suspect that they were doctored or destroyed because Mueller team members have hidden evidence in the past.

General Flynn’s short sentencing memo was released within the past 48 hours. In the memo there was a footnote to an FBI 302 form dated seven months after the incident with General Flynn in the White House –

Total Setup? FBI Told Michael Flynn To Ditch Lawyer During Interview With Strzok

Andrew McCabe - the FBI's former Deputy Director, advised then-national security adviser Michael Flynn that he wouldn't need a lawyer present during a January 24, 2017 White House interview with two FBI agents, according to the Washington Examiner, citing a sentencing memo filed Tuesday by Flynn's attorneys. During a phone call with Flynn, McCabe suggested that if anyone else was in the meeting, the FBI would have to escalate things to involve the Justice Department.

Citing McCabe's account, the sentencing memo says that shortly after noon on Jan. 24 — the fourth day of the new Trump administration — McCabe called Flynn on a secure phone in Flynn's West Wing office. The two men discussed business briefly and then McCabe said that he "felt that we needed to have two of our agents sit down" with Flynn to discuss Flynn's talks with Russian officials during the presidential transition.

McCabe, by his own account, urged Flynn to talk to the agents alone, without a lawyer present. "I explained that I thought the quickest way to get this done was to have a conversation between [Flynn] and the agents only," McCabe wrote. "I further stated that if LTG Flynn wished to include anyone else in the meeting, like the White House counsel for instance, that I would need to involve the Department of Justice. [Flynn] stated that this would not be necessary and agreed to meet with the agents without any additional participants." -Washington Examiner

'I will contest it’: UK PM May to face vote of confidence in leadership over Brexit deal

Embattled British Prime Minister Theresa May will face a vote of confidence in her leadership of the Conservative Party on Wednesday after the necessary threshold to potentially oust her was reached by party's 1922 Committee.

The move follows a week of chaos and speculation after May's proposed Brexit deal was openly derided in the House of Commons.

"In accordance with the rules, a ballot will be held between 18:00 and 20:00 on Wednesday 12th December in committee room 14 of the House of Commons," Graham Brady, the Chairman of the backbench 1922 Committee said.

Brady’s statement added that the votes would be counted immediately and an announcement made at the earliest possible opportunity.

The threshold of 48 letters, 15 percent of parliamentary party members, was reached when former cabinet minister Owen Paterson tipped the balance in favor of the long-rumored move to oust May as Prime Minister.

Speaking outside her Downing Street office after it was announced that the vote had been triggered a bullish May pledged to contest the vote with everything she’s got.

“A change in leadership at this time would put our country’s future at risk,” May said, adding that the mechanics of a new Tory leader would not change any fundamental issues associated with the floundering Brexit negotiations, as a new leader would not be in place by the January 21st deadline set for a new vote.

She added that the only people who would gain in such circumstances would be Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn and Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer John McDonnell, two vocal opponents of the Brexit deal.

“Considering the target, his way of operating, his profile and the testimonies of those who heard him yell 'Allahu Akbar', the anti-terrorist police have been called into action,” Heitz explained.

Central American migrants submit incredible list of demands to Trump administration before they will go back home

Two groups present demand letters at the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana

Two groups of Central American migrants marched to the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana on Tuesday with a list of demands for the Trump administration, the San Diego Tribune reported.

What are the details?

The first group of about 100 arrived at the consulate before noon. They presented a letter that ordered their asylum or that they are paid $50,000 each to turn around and head back home.

"It may seem like a lot of money to you," organizer Alfonso Guerrero Ulloa of Honduras told the newspaper. "But it is a small sum compared to everything the United States has stolen from Honduras."

The letter criticized the U.S. government for its response in Central America and requested that the U.S. government oust Honduran President Orlando Hernandez from office.

Trump had threatened to stop financial aid to Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala if the governments didn't intervene to stop the caravan before reaching the border.

The second group of about 50 arrived a couple of hours later with their demand letter.

They insisted that the U.S. to speed up the process for asylum. They demanded that the U.S. border officials allow up to 300 asylum-seekers each day at the San Ysidro Port of Entry in San Diego.

The current rate of entry is between 40 to 100, according to the Tribune.

"In the meantime, families, women and children who have fled our countries continue to suffer and the civil society of Tijuana continue to be forced to confront this humanitarian crisis, a refugee crisis caused in great part by decades of U.S. intervention in Central America," the letter said.

More than a dozen from the second group had participated in a hunger strike that demanded a speedier process.

The group also asked Mexican authorities to stop deporting the migrants.

What else?

The caravan of more than 6,000 migrants first arrived at the Mexico-U.S. border in Tijuana a month ago.

The numbers have shrunk in recent weeks as about 700 returned to their home countries, 300 have been deported, and about 2,500 have applied for asylum, according to the report. Thousands more are believed to have crossed illegally into the U.S.

Mexico's National Institution of Migration did not respond to the Tribune's request to verify those numbers.

TheDCNF Asked Paris Climate Accord Backers If They’d Support Banning Private Jets. Most Didn’t Respond

TheDCNF asked 31 businesses, foundations and individuals agitating for climate action if they’d support banning private jets.

Most didn’t respond, including representatives for Al Gore, the father of global warming activism.

The U.N. is calling for trillions to meet the Paris climate accord’s goals, so what’s a few thousand private jets?

Big businesses largely came out in support of the Paris Agreement on global warming, but most contacted by The Daily Caller News Foundation were silent on whether they would give up flying private jets.

TheDCNF wanted to test the commitment of big companies, foundations and outspoken activists who back the Paris accord. The question: Would you support a ban on private jet travel to help stem global warming?

Most companies and individuals TheDCNF reached out to did not respond, including Facebook, Apple, Google and other companies that often tout their “green image.” Not even former Vice President Al Gore, the father of climate activism, responded to TheDCNF’s question.

In fact, all but two of the 26 corporations were silent when asked by TheDCNF if they would support a ban on private jets to help cut greenhouse gas emissions in line with what the United Nations says is needed to meet the Paris accord. TheDCNF asked a total of 31 companies, foundations and individuals if they would support a private jet ban.

To keep projected global warming below 2 degrees Celsius, the main goal of the Paris accord, the U.N. says emissions need to fall drastically. The U.N. says the world is currently on track for 3 degrees Celsius of warming.

The U.N. calls for a $122 trillion restructuring of the global economy to keep global warming within the limits of the Paris accord, which is likely to fall heavily on working class and poor people who can least afford higher energy costs.

In that light, TheDCNF wanted to know if those pushing climate policies would be willing to give up private jets — something no one actually needs since commercial flights are so widely available.

May faces no confidence vote tonight

The 48 letters required have arrived and the vote is scheduled for 18:00 – 20:00 tonight. Whether she wins or loses the vote her leadership has been destroyed.

Now the question remains why they waited until after she’d signed the UN Global Migration pact on Monday.

Vatican: ‘Make Migration Work’ for Everybody

In his second address before the U.N. meeting on international migration, the Vatican’s secretary of state said that the Holy See’s primary objective is to make migration work for everybody.

“To achieve the declared objective to make migration work for all,” said Vatican Cardinal Pietro Parolin, “it is crucial to clarify the roles to be played by the different actors or stakeholders, so as to promote shared and balanced responsibilities.”

In order to be successful, said the Vatican chief, U.N. organizers need to engage all the players on the global scene.

“The partnerships necessary to implement successfully the vision of the Global Compact on Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration should include national and local institutions, the private sector, trade unions, civil society, academia, migrants and diaspora groups,” Cardinal Parolin said.

“Among the non-governmental actors, the Holy See would like to highlight the special role of faith-based organizations, which have proven themselves especially effective in providing locally-tailored support to migrants in vulnerable situations,” the cardinal added, while insisting that “the work of faith-based organizations should be properly acknowledged and effectively encouraged by the responsible authorities.”

Religions and faith-based organizations offer “are the ‘first responders’ in those areas of need, including migration,” he said.

The key to making migration work for everybody, Parolin said, is “the engagement of migrants themselves.”

“In this context, the Holy See calls for greater participation of migrants in formulating and implementing those policies, programmes and innovative initiatives that concern them,” he said. “Such participation should be promoted at all levels, both individually and collectively, and institutionalized whenever possible, so as to provide regular and official avenues of effective partnership with institutions.”

Migrations “often reveal failures and shortcomings on the part of States and the international community,” Parolin said.

In his address Tuesday, the cardinal underscored “the commitment to ensure fair and ethical recruitment of migrants, including young people, to undertake decent work” as well as “ensuring migrants’ access to employment, fostering their skills development, and empowering them to contribute to sustainable development in their communities both of destination and of origin.”

The cardinal did not discuss the effects of mass migration on local populations or its impact on the workforce, a concern often cited by those who question the logic of uncontrolled migration.
