Moving Quietly Towards The Exit (Brexit)
I need to catch up on this whole Brexit stuff. EvC needs a blood transfusion. Perhaps Percy and I can Stir Up some new conversations. Tangle, can you explain to me in a nutshell what direction British politics is heading? (nevermind...I'm reading this whole topic now... I think I've found my answer) Edited by Phat, : No reason given.

Re: Moving Quietly Towards The Exit (Brexit)
Politics is so nutty yet fascinating. I used to think of it rather simplistically...that on one side you had liberals and on the other conservatives...forever bickering and accusing each other. This year as I watch my labor union grapple with the Corporate behemoths, I realize that I have learned several new things. 40% of union s themselves are conservative. Now I'm not sure if this statistic includes paid union leadership, but logic would show that there is a synthesis there as well. How this applies to European politics and how European political ideology differs from US ideology is at the moment unclear. I need a class on the subject or at least a good Wiki article.

Re: Albania & Serbia agreed to move toward open borders between the people.
I am not for closed borders, byt I am also not for unrestricted open borders. It will cause wars either way.

Re: Long Live The King
I think that the idea of a King won't sit well with the 'woke" generation. Elizabeth came into the public spotlight as a child and was duly adopted by all of us. (well...most of us) But Charles is a man, and having grown up in the monarchy, is best known as the ex of Diana. The public may protest at the continued extravagance.
"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** “…far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.”- Dr.John Lennox “A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross.”
H. Richard Niebuhr, The Kingdom of God in America “The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” — Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You
(1894).

"Leaked" RAND Document
Leaked RAND Document The document speaks for itself. Basically, it charges that the RAND Corporation is actively trying to destabilize Europe by provoking Russia.
quote:
Germany's economy continues to collapse due to its NATO conflict with Russia. Was this the plan all along? Newly leaked documents seem to suggest that the West wanted to drag Germany into an economic and military conflict with Russia all along in order to weaken the rest of Europe. This from leaked Rand documents produced for the White House, the CIA, the NSA, and the Democratic National Party. Um...WHAT!? You can read the full report thanks to journalist John Mark Dugan.
Is this a hoax? I suppose any journalist can claim that a document exists and simply make it up, but im gonna ask Snopes.
