The beginning of the end or end of the beginning?
The beginning of the end or end of the beginning?
Most readers of Need to Know news will rejoice over Britain’s exit from the EU, as reported in this week’s edition. It’s not that we have a stake in Britain’s internal affairs, but because this issue has as much to do with global government as it does with national prosperity. In other words, this is a setback for the BIG strategy to put elitist politicians and bankers into control of the entire world – and that affects all of us at the macro level.
It is tempting to give a victory shout and boast that this is the beginning of the end for the globalists, but we know from long experience that they do not give up that easily. Even before the Brexit vote took place, undoubtedly they had prepared Plan-B for just such an outcome.
It is not hard to imagine what such a plan would include. The proven technique for herding the masses into places they would not otherwise choose is to cause them to experience fear and panic. In modern times, this has become an important part of political science in which grotesque enemies are engineered and manufactured with great precision. False-flag attacks are the new normal, and (as illustrated in this week’s news) there even is a talent agency that provides ‘crisis actors’ to corporate and government clients around the world.
Everything is possible – including a return to the EU – if people are in fear for their lives as a result of war, terrorism, economic collapse, or civil disorder, all of which can be arranged. It is an eerie feeling knowing that there are people in high places, like Maurice Strong, a UN icon for internationalism, who, not only long for the economic destruction of advanced countries, but are in positions to bring it about. It was Strong who said:
What if a small group of these world leaders were to conclude that the principle risk to the earth comes from the actions of the rich countries? … The group decides: Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about? [See The Creature from Jekyll Island, page 533.]
The current victory over the EU is not the beginning of the end, but the end of the beginning of a long and fierce contest between the forces of global tyranny and personal freedom. It is good to rejoice and celebrate, but the next battle is coming, and we must now prepare.

THIS WEEK IN REVIEW
THIS WEEK IN REVIEW
UK: Voters have chosen to exit the EU. It is being described as a stunning, howling victory, fueled by rage and frustration against the EU system of power, wealth, and privilege. Prime Minister David Cameron has resigned and will step down in October. Guardian 2016 Jun 24 (Story) (Cached)
Nigel Farage, head of the UK Independent Part (UKIP) and the chief campaigner for Brexit, gives an emotional victory speech and declares June 23rd as the country’s Independence Day. UK Independent 2016 Jun 24 (Story) (Cached)
Following the Brexit victory, banks and financial institutions are in a tailspin. This is because market speculators were counting heavily on continuing subsidies and intervention on their behalf. The morning after the vote to exit the EU, Britain’s banks were facing a $100-billion drop in market value. World stocks dropped by more than $2-trillion. [None of this is a decline in real asset value, merely a reduction in the size of the inflation bubble.] InfoWars 2016 Jun 24 (Story) (Cached)
Venezuela: Government loyalists and security forces attacked more than a dozen journalists, local and foreign, because President Maduro says news reporting is causing destabilization of the government. Reporters were beaten and had their equipment taken away to keep anti-government protests secret. CNN 2016 Jun 24 (Story)
The US Department of Justice has brought charges against 300 doctors, nurses, physical therapists, and home-care providers, for fraudulently billing Medicare and Medicaid for $900 million. AP 2016 Jun 23 (Story)
The US Supreme Court split 4-4 over President Obama’s immigration plan that would have deferred deportation of about four-million illegal immigrants whose children became US citizens. A split decision means the lower court’s ruling will stand, but it remains to be seen how the government can comply or if it will even try. CBS News 2016 Jun 23 (Story)
The EU is withholding details of the plan for a European Union army until the day after the UK Brexit vote. Only a small group of EU political and security officials are allowed to read the proposal. [Surely, there is nothing to hide that might influence the vote, right?] InfoWars 2016 Jun 23 (Story) (Cached)
US: After four gun-control bills failed in the Senate earlier this week, Democrats staged a 1960’s-style sit-in in the House of Representatives, singing We Shall Overcome, to force a favorable vote. They ended the sit-in after 24 hours because they did not want to spend their two-week summer break on the House floor. They vowed to resume the sit-in when they return. CNN 2016 Jun 23 (Story)
Baltimore: Officer Caesar Goodson, who was driving the transport van in which Freddie Gray sustained fatal injuries, faced charges that included second-degree murder and three counts of manslaughter. He was found ‘not guilty’ by Judge Barry Williams. Goodson became the second officer cleared in the high-profile case. Wochit News 2016 Jun 23 (Story)
Protesters, who want the government to ban pesticides that kill bees, swarmed the EPA building in Washington DC. They presented the agency with 5-million comments against the toxic poisons and also delivered the bodies of 2.6 million dead bees to illustrate their point. AP 2016 Jun 23 (Story)
Oaxaca: Mexican police have been accused of gunning down ten people and injuring 100 more during a peaceful protest over education. The US government is having difficulty explaining why it has close ties with the Mexican military and police who are infamous for brutality and corruption. $2.5 billion in US taxpayer money has been spent over the past four years to arm and train Mexico’s police – and that support is expected to continue. RT 2016 Jun 23 (Story)
US: A federal judge struck down the Obama administration’s rules for hydraulic fracking on public lands that require disclosure of what chemicals are used and also require precautionary measures against leakage. The ruling is a victory for oil and gas producers. Reuters 2016 Jun 22 (Story) (Cached)
US: On Monday morning, when the Department of Justice released transcripts of the phone conversations between the Orlando terrorist and 911 operators, all references to Islam and ISIS had been deleted. It was only after strong backlash from lawmakers and the public, that the DOJ released the unedited version. Fox News 2016 Jun 22 (Story)
Calais, France: A mob of 300 migrants tried to board ferries to the UK while screaming obscenities against the very nation they were trying to reach. A spokesman for the UK’s Independent Party says that the migrants are anxious to reach the UK before the Brexit vote that would allow the British to control their own borders once again if they vote to leave the EU. [The fact that the migrants curse the country they are trying to reach shows that they do not want to migrate to it. They want to conquer it.] DailyMail 2016 Jun 21 (Story) (Cached)
Okinawa, Japan: 60,000 people marched on Sunday to ask Japan’s government to kick out U.S. bases. This protest came after a 20-year-old woman was murdered on base by a civilian worker in April. Local politicians want the US bases moved to mainland Japan. CNN 2016 Jun 20 (Story) (Cached)
Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, says more people should be armed, but not if they’re on the terror watch list. He is not aware of how easy it is for loyal Americans to be placed on the watch list for merely disagreeing with the policies of their political leaders – or is he? ABC News 2016 Jun 20 (Story)
The Israeli government is at the leading edge of designing anti-terrorism laws to destroy political opposition. It passed a new law that requires life imprisonment for anyone convicted of being a ‘terrorist mastermind’ – even if they did not participate in acts of terrorism. It is not difficult to imagine how those who oppose the policies of government leaders could be classified as terrorist masterminds. Charity groups can be declared illegal for similar reasons, and individuals supporting them can be imprisoned. The government now can seize financial assets even before indictment and conviction. All in the name of fighting terrorism. Jerusalem Post posted 2016 Jun 18 (Story) (Cached)
ANALYSIS
ANALYSIS
News and commentaries that reveal historical facts and trends that place current events into perspective and make it possible to anticipate future events.
The UN International Criminal Court sentenced former Congolese vice-president Jean-Pierre Bemba to 18 years in prison for allowing and even encouraging rapes and murders by his soldiers in the Central African Republic over a decade ago. This case is important, not only because of the cry for justice – which is good – but because the Court is striving to gain legitimacy as the future high court of the world – which may not be so good considering the corruption found at all levels of the UN. France24 2016 Jun 22 (Story)
US: Facts surrounding the Orlando shooting suggest that it might have been a false-flag event. This analysis shows that the shooter had ties with the FBI, his employer was a covert organization called G4S, and a British crisis-actor agency called Crisis Cast lists G4S as a client. Interesting, wouldn’t you say? PPJ Gazette 2016 Jun 22 (Story) (Cached)
This is a disturbing tour of a tradeshow called SOFEX (Special Operations Force Exhibition) held annually in Jordan. It allows us to see deep inside the military-industrial complex. 12,000 generals from just about every country in the world – many of them former battlefield enemies – mingle calmly and cordially, examining the latest tools of death. Even more sobering is that these generals are not buying weapons to be used against each other, but against citizens of their own countries. You have to see this to believe it. Vice posted 2016 Jun 21 (Story)
The US Supreme Court ruled that police may use evidence in court, even if it is obtained by unconstitutional means, provided the suspect has one or more outstanding arrest warrants. [We have been unable to locate the part of the Constitution that says it can be ignored if someone has an outstanding arrest warrant.] Daily Dot 2016 Jun 20 (Story) (Cached)
US: Jerry Day analyses the current drive for the government to enforce so-called gender rights. He argues that if, indeed, there are such rights, then why is government not concerned over more traditional rights, such as property rights and the right to bear arms? Jerry puts this important issue into sharp focus. Minivan Jack 2016 Jun 20 (Story)
Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the Foreign Minister of Germany, which is a member of NATO, has accused NATO of warmongering and inciting war with Russia. This seriously weakens NATO’s claim that it is merely a defensive organization. NATO now says that hacking into the computer of a government official is an act of war and could justify a full-blown military counter-attack. The US now can claim that Russia was behind hacking the emails from Hillary Clinton’s computer and, whether true or not, this would require all NATO member nations to participate in a military war with Russia if the US decides to attack. Incredible! ZeroHedge 2016 Jun 19 (Story) (Cached)

Need to Know is as serious as it gets, but laughter is good for the soul and helps to keep our equilibrium amid the chaos. So, here are quips, gags, and images to put a smile on your face. If you have some you would like to share, please send them here.
Isn’t it amazing that, during the mad-cow epidemic. the US government was able to track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they also tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11-million illegal aliens wandering around the country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.
They keep talking about drafting a constitution for Iraq …. Why don’t we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we’re not using it anymore.
The real reason the Ten Commandments can’t be posted in a courthouse is this: You cannot say ‘Thou Shalt Not Steal,’ ‘Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery,’ or ‘Thou Shall Not Lie’ in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment.
I think most people my age are older than I am.
It’s a terrible moment when you are singing a song you used to sing as a kid and you suddenly understand the lyrics.
Last night, my kids and I were sitting in the living room, and I said to them: “I never want to live in a vegtative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.” They got up, unplugged my computer, and threw out my wine, the little brats.

PERRY MASON CASE WITH PARROT WITNESS from Angelo Trotter
Regarding “Michigan: A murder trial may hinge on a parrot that was witness to the crime.” last week’s news, I thought you might find it interesting that there was a Perry Mason episode, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0673353/ based on a book: The Case of the Perjured Parrot.

GUARANTEED INCOME = DEPENDENCE
from Eli Dumitru
Dear Ed,
It was pointed out to me that the reason governments are going towards a guaranteed income is so the populace will be dependent on, and therefore subservient to, the government. So in addition to impinging on the freedom of the people the government wants to take the money from, a guaranteed income would also impinge on the freedom of the people that the government wants to give the money to. That’s because freedom and responsibility are two sides of the same coin. Thanks for all you do.
