Global Economic War: U.K. prepares for collapse of the Euro, believes Britain will be flooded with economic refugees, Swizterland taking action

Several days ago there were reports that banks around the world were preparing for the demise of the Euro.  Banks are getting ready to go back to older European currencies.

On December 28 the British government discussed contingency plans for such a Euro collapse. Her Majesty’s Treasury (that’s the official title, and proof the Queen of England is no figure head) has announced plans to prevent a flood of currency refugees from overwhelming British banks.

The United Kingdom is part of the European Union, but does not use the Euro.  The British pound has been gaining in value as the Euro, and the U.S. dollar, looses value. The collapse of the Euro could see the value of the British pound skyrocket, which is bad for British exports (making them too expensive to buy, thus breaking Britain’s fragile economy).

It’s not just “The Treasury” that’s making plans, the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office (aka The Foreign Office) announced plans to stop people fleeing the expected chaos of mainland Europe, from flooding into Britain.

The Foreign Office said it would even attempt to rescue British tourists on holiday, and even British expatriates who need help returning to the U.K. 

The British media is also reporting that the rich 10% of Greece, and other EU countries that are in economic trouble, are already transferring large amounts of  wealth to British banks.

This happened to Switzerland a few months ago.  The result was that the value of the Swiss France skyrocketed.  But the Swiss dealt with it in an unusual way; they “attached” the value of their Swiss Franc to the value of the Euro (even though they are not a member of the European Union).

A few days ago there were reports that EU members were going to ground all flights out of their countries, and block all border crossings, to prevent mass exodus of people and cash.  British officials at Whitehall (the part of the British government directly controlled by the Queen of England, and which controls their military, named after a royal palace that once stood there) said they would do the same, but only to prevent foreign people, and their foreign cash, from coming into the United Kingdom.  Whitehall officials said they believe the collapse of the Euro would result in widespread civil unrest in Europe.

United Police Kingdom: Privatization plans, disgused as austerity measures, backfires. Prison Guards threaten to join protestors, after government cuts pension plan, and prisons fill with record number of people

Thousands of British prison officers say they might join the planned nationwide strikes on November 30.

The Prison Officers Association has 35,000 members, and at least 15,000 will go on strike.  That’s enough to shut down the operations of British prisons.  To make matters worse, the number of people now in British prisons hit a record 87,945 last week.  The prisons are nearly maxed out.

The U.K. government wants to cut retirement plans, and that seems to be the straw that is breaking the prison guards’ back: “We are hoping that we can come to a settlement on pensions, but if we can’t, then we will support the November 30 day of action.”-Steve Gillan, Prison Officers Association

Corporate & Government Incompetence: Fake parts found in U.S. military weapons! Blame China, Canada & Britain

“…just the tip of the iceberg.”-Carl Levin, U.S. Senator from Michigan

The Washington Post reporting that counterfeit parts have been found in weapons used by the U.S. military.

A Senate Armed Services Committee investigation found 1,800 cases of more than one million fake parts in U.S. weapon systems!

70% of the parts have been traced to Chinese factories.  20% came from Canada and United Kingdom.  Most of the parts are electronic: “We can’t tolerate the risk of a ballistic missile interceptor failing to hit its target, a helicopter pilot unable to fire his missiles or any other mission failure because of a counterfeit part.”-John McCain, U.S. Senator from Arizona

Here’s a solution: The U.S. military industrial complex should stop using supplies from outside the United States!!!

Typical evil British hypocrisy: Documents reveal Gaddafi was encouraged to buy more British weapons right before the foreign backed uprisings

“Following the great success of the Libdex 2010 show we would like to invite yourself and relevant members of your staff to travel to the UK and visit Manroy Engineering so that we can demonstrate to yourself and your staff our products. This will include the full range of sniper weapons that were on show at the Libdex Show along with our other products that include our range of UK MOD machine guns.”-captured British embassy document

The British Sunday telegraph reveals documents, recovered by the media from the abandoned British embassy in Tripoli, that show the U.K. government pushed hard to get the Libyan government to buy more British made weapons, right before the foreign backed uprisings began.

The British guns were used weeks later by Libyan government forces to kill Libyan rebels.

The new revelation, shows the amount of collaboration between the United Kingdom and Gaddafi.  In fact, the two British companies, Accuracy International and Manroy Engineering, defend their sales of weapons to Gaddafi, insisting Libya/Gaddafi was a favored regime with the United Kingdom, and former Prime Minister Tony Blair personally went to Libya to make the military sales!

Britain is one of the countries that are supporting the Libyan rebels.

Looting and violence spreads outside London, ignorant British newspapers blame video games

BBC is reporting that the city of Birmingham, England, has been hit by looting and violence.

According to the BBC: Cars were set on fire in Lewisham.  A bus and shop were set alight in Peckham.  Several fires broke out in Croydon, including one at a large furniture shop which spread to neighboring buildings and tram lines.  In Hackney police 200 riot officers with dogs and mounted police were located around Mare Street where police cars were damaged.  Looters raided a Debenhams store and a row of shops in Lavender Hill in Clapham.    In Birmingham, police said officers had made 35 arrests, including six juveniles, on Monday evening.    Buses were diverted as the violence spread to Bromley High Street.    There were reports of looting of phone shops in Woolwich High Street, in south London, and a torched police car.   Shops and restaurants were damaged in Ealing, west London, and there was a fire in Haven Green park opposite Ealing Broadway Tube.

Some British newspapers are avoiding the more plausible reasons for the rioting, like a bad economy and police brutality, and actually blamed video games.  One newspaper claims to have seen ten year olds taking part in the looting, and quotes an unnamed police officer as saying the rioters are motivated by the video game Grand Theft Auto.

If you’ve played Grand Theft Auto then you would know that in no way does it involve mass rioting and looting.  The game is centered around a single player, you, who’s goal is to steal cars.  Somehow the ignorant British media and authorities equate an individual stealing cars in a video game to mass rioting, vandalism and looting in real life.  It’s proof that the ‘better off’ in Britain are the ones living in a fantasy world.

Irish get violent as enemy Queen of England tours Ireland

May 17, Chinese media reporting that clashes have broken out between Irish protesting Queen Elizabeth’s visit to Ireland, and turncoat Irish police.

Pics show protesters trying to break through police lines with a garbage dumpster set on fire.  Another pic shows a turncoat cop, in full riot gear, squashing an Irish woman to the ground.

Many protesters are throwing rocks at traitor cops, in images that look like something out of Palestine.

Sinn Féin, IRA & Eirigi united against Queen Elizabeth II

“This visit is part of a carefully orchestrated campaign to normalize British rule and the enforced partition of Ireland. Irish Republicans will actively oppose this visit in order to send out the clear message that British rule and the partition of Ireland will never be either normal or acceptable.”-Sinn Féin

The oldest Irish political party, Sinn Féin, along with the Irish Republican Army and the Socialist group Eirigi, have all come out with statements, or acts, against the visit of the Queen of England to Ireland.

Eirigi has executed the queen’s effigy.  Several IRA members have been preemptively arrested for comments made before the queen’s visit.  Bomb threats have been made, as well as fake and real bombs found.

The queen still has several days left in her visit to Ireland.

Irish execute Queen Elizabeth II by beheading, in effigy

“Firstly we oppose it because it is a waste of money. The second reason we oppose this is because of British imperialism, but most importantly we oppose this because she is the commander-in-chief of the British military who continue to occupy the six counties [Northern Ireland].”-Brian Leeson, Eirigi chairman

Members of the Republic of Ireland’s Eirigi political party, held a trial for Queen Elizabeth. She was charged with 12 crimes, including the Great Irish Famine and the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  After they found her guilty they cut her head off.  Of course it was just an effigy of the queen.

London on alert after bomb threat, not from Islamists, but from the Irish

“But here is seems an individual or a group with specific knowledge of the dissident republican coded warning system has called to make a bomb threat. The police cannot afford to do anything but treat this with the utmost seriousness.”-Mark White, SkyNews Home affairs correspondent

Scotland Yard has put London on alert after bomb threats were called in from Irish, who’re upset over the Queen of England’s visit to Ireland.

As an example of the ongoing war between the Irish and the English, in April a Northern Ireland police constable was killed when his home was bombed.
