Nigel Farage – Europe is Collapsing, Buy Gold & Expect QE
7. juni 2012
On the heels of Fed Chairman Bernanke’s comments, Spain being downgraded and key meetings taking place in Europe, today King World News interviewed MEP (Member European Parliament) Nigel Farage, to get his take on the ongoing crisis. Farage told KWN that “when I look into the eyes of the leaders of Europe … what I’m seeing now is madness, absolute, total and utter madness.” Farage also discussed the action in the gold market, but first, here is what Farage had to say about the deteriorating situation in Europe: “Of course, over the last couple of years we’ve had two bailouts of Greece, a bailout of Ireland, Portugal. We’re now on the verge of needing a bailout in Cyprus, but perhaps more significantly, a bailout in Spain.”
Nigel Farage continues:

Nigel Farage: Member of the European Parliament (MEP) & Founding Member of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) – Nigel is MEP for the South East region and is the leader of the parliamentary party in the EU parliament.
He has worked for British, French and American companies operating in the commodity markets, especially the London Metal Exchange (since 1982).
The central aim of the party is the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union and to regain control of this nation’s governance through our own Parliament at Westminster.
Nigel was a Conservative activist from his schooldays until the overthrow of Margaret Thatcher; John Major’s signing of the Maastricht Treaty brought his membership to an end.

On GBTV Geert Wilders Sits down w/ Glenn Beck and Talks Europe, Islam, Terrorism, & America
On May 3rd Dutch Parliament member Geert Wilders sat down with Glenn Beck and talked about the state of Europe, America and the impact Radical Islam and Terrorism are having upon the world.
Marked for Death
Fanatics, terrorists, and appeasers have tried everything to silence Geert Wilders, Europe’s most controversial Member of Parliament—from putting him on trial to putting a price on his head. But Wilders refuses to be silenced—and one result is the book you have in your hands.
For years, from his native Netherlands, Wilders has sounded the alarm about the relentless spread of Islam in the West. And he has paid a steep personal price, enduring countless death threats and being forced into a permanent state of hiding.
Now, for the first time, Wilders offers a full account of his long battle against the zealots who have already slaughtered his countryman Theo van Gogh—whose killer also threatened to murder Wilders himself.
In Marked for Death, Wilders reveals: How—and why—liberal politicians, including Barack Obama, downplay the Islamic threat The systematic suppression of free speech through lawsuits, prosecutions, threats, and violence meted out against Islam’s critics The untold story: how Islamic groups are redefining human rights to suppress non-Muslims everywhere The true, bloody history of Islam’s spread throughout the world How the West can defend itself against an existential enemy determined to conquer the globe
Expelled from Britain, banned from Indonesia, denounced by the UN Secretary General, prosecuted in court for his beliefs, forced into government safe houses, and constantly threatened with death, Geert Wilders is unbowed and unapologetic. Marked for Death is a stark warning about a growing threat to our liberties written by a man who has lost his freedom—and would not see the rest of us suffer the same fate.
Nigel Farage: There Are Going to Be Serious Banking Collapses
With escalating fears regarding the stability of the eurozone, today King World News interviewed former LBMA commodities broker and trader and current MEP Nigel Farage to get his take on the situation. Farage had some very interesting comments regarding the Italians moving large quantities of gold to Switzerland, but when KWN asked about the chaos in Europe, Farage stated, “Well, so far, from all of the European officials and from the new IMF branch office in Washington, we’ve had unanimity that there was no prospect, at any stage, of the euro being under threat.”

The forgotten victims of the Troubles
Douglas Murray – 22nd February 2012
The 30th January this year was the 40th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, the day when members of the British Parachute regiment shot dead fourteen civilians on the streets of a British city. The constant commemoration of that day by families of the dead and injured was one of the things that kept its memory alive and eventually led to the British government setting up the Saville Inquiry. That inquiry – the longest and costliest in legal history, and the subject of my recent book – exonerated the dead and accused some people still living.
Just one of Christopher Hitchens’ talents would have been enough for most people. In him those talents — like his passions — all melded into each other: as speaker, writer and thinker. Yet he was more than the sum even of these considerable parts, for he possessed another talent that was even rarer — a talent for making us, his readers, want to be better people. He used his abilities not to close down questions and ideas, but to open them up. In the process he made you, the reader, aware that you needed to do more, engage more, think more and know more. Writers often feel a need to impress their readers. Christopher made his readers want to impress the writer.
Push off now, Press TV, and take your conspiracy theories with you
Douglas Murray – 20th January 2012
A week that began with an insane decision from the European Court of Human Rights has come to an end with a sensible decision from Ofcom. The Iranian government’s propaganda channel in London, Press TV, has just had its license to broadcast revoked.
William Hague has an article in the Times today arguing against what he refers to as the ‘pessimism’ of those who have expressed concerns about the direction of the ‘Arab Spring’. As somebody who cannot see the virtue of either optimism or pessimism as policy, and preferring facts to moods, I think the Foreign Secretary’s central points should be answered. Particularly as he chose so injudicious a day to publish his piece.
Livingstone will get away with it, of course — because he’s on the ‘left’
Douglas Murray – 9th February 2012
Ken Livingstone has just reminded us of a prevailing rule in British politics. His comment that the Conservative party is ‘riddled’ with homosexuals ‘like everywhere else’ would have earned him a sacking if the parties had been reversed and a Conservative politician had talked of the Labour party in this fashion. [...]
In America a new generation of Republicans is challenging the traditional consensus of their party on gay marriage. They — as well as some of the GOP old guard like Dick Cheney — are coming out in favour. In Britain the subject is also back on the agenda with the coalition government, at the insistence of the Prime Minister apparently, planning a ‘public consultation’ on the matter.

Leveson Levity
Douglas Murray – March 2012
Should there be an inquiry into the Leveson inquiry? The phone-hacking which prompted the setting-up of the inquiry faded almost immediately as a procession of celebrities complained about what they disliked most in the press.
Now everybody has settled in, his lordship most of all. A nadir was reached when three editors of those infinitely depressing celebrity magazines gave insights into their trade. Counsel to the inquiry was a nice young woman. The matter arose of a picture of Heston Blumenthal dressed up as an egg. Counsel giggled with the three witnesses as his lordship tried to locate the page in the relevant magazine. Much hair was flicked. “Not my normal journal,” Lord Leveson joked in that way older men do when they are not yet beyond flirting and engage in it with studied senility. Everyone laughed. Some of the lawyers stretched back while laughing so they could be more in camera-shot. Oh how jolly. And oh how much money evaporating every second.
The inquiry needs to discover only one thing: how did the law come to be broken, repeatedly and publicly, with impunity?

Nigel Farage: If I were Cameron I would tell Mr Monti to resign
Writing exclusively for PoliticsHome ahead of tomorrow’s summit between David Cameron and Mario Monti, UKIP leader Nigel Farage says the Prime Minister should tell his Italian counterpart to resign. Mr Farage says Mr Monti has ‘no legitimacy’ and describes his appointment as ‘an outrage’.
17th January 2012 | Nigel Farage
If Mr Cameron were meeting the head of a country in South America where the democratically elected Prime Minister and his cabinet had all been removed and replaced by friends of a powerful elite he’d probably be delivering a message about the importance of democracy with the thoughts of imposing trade sanctions should this rogue government not agree.

‘Mrs. Kinnock skal gøre som Angela siger’
Gør nu bare som Angela Merkel siger, så skal det danske formandskab nok gå fint, lyder det fra EU’s mest højtråbende kritiker
01. jan 2012 | Mikael Rømer
Når Helle Thorning-Schmidt (S) i aften holder sin første nytårstale som statsminister, bliver det også første dag som formand for EU’s ministerråd.
A Belgian journalist who interviewed me recently about the European debt crisis asked me whether I believed in the European Project. I replied that I would answer her question—if she would tell me what the European Project actually was. By revealing my doubts, I proved to her that I suffered from the strange kind of mental debility known as Euroskepticism, a condition supposedly compounded of low intelligence and aggressive xenophobia. The low intelligence manifests itself in the patient’s view of European institutions as a gravy train for a transnational nomenklatura, rather than as the beginning of a new, generous, and free-spirited type of postnational identity. The xenophobia manifests itself as a secret desire for conflict and war, the European Union and its predecessors supposedly having been responsible for the avoidance of war on the Continent over the last 65 years.
Last Friday’s downgrading of France and Austria by credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s has left the eurozone, the group of 17 European countries using the euro as their currency, with just four countries with a triple A rating. Of these four Germany is the only one that was not given a negative outlook. Indeed, S&P thinks that the Netherlands, Finland and Luxemburg risk a further downgrade this year or next year.
S&P’s latest downgrades may split the longstanding “Merkozy” alliance.
17 January 2012 – Nicole Gelinas
Who will suffer most from Standard and Poor’s European sovereign-debt downgrades of January 13? Not France, though it lost its triple-A rating. Not Italy, whose rating dropped to BBB+, out of respectable A status. Rather, it will be Germany. The continent’s powerhouse guarded its sterling rating, but Chancellor Angela Merkel will find it lonely at the top.
Even before we were a month in, 2011 was an historic year. Principally because in a region of the world where governments shift through military coup or foreign intervention, dictators fell — and others tottered — thanks to local popular uprisings. Whatever the outcome of those events (and I have expressed my fears elsewhere, here) they remain a landmark worth observing. Whether or not the coming years are any good at all for them, 2011 was a great year for democrats in the Middle East. In the older democracies of the West, however, 2011 was more disconcerting.
If anyone doubts this, consider the following experiment. It is the beginning of any year other than this one over the last two decades. Someone tells you that the coming year will see the replacement of two democratically elected leaders in European countries. In any of those years — say 1996, 2000, 2005 — it would be surprising though not impossible. Perhaps a Junta had returned in Greece? Or a former Eastern bloc country had slipped disastrously backwards? Whichever countries you had identified as vulnerable, you would — as a democrat — at least console yourself that this disaster would bring a torrent of condemnation from the political capitals of Europe? But no, you are told. The situation is not nearly so rosy as that. Not only will two democratic leaders be deposed in the year ahead — they will be replaced by bureaucrats. And worse: no democratic leader in any position of power across Europe will express anything other than relief over this outcome. Until the year that just passed this thought-experiment would have seemed dystopian. Surely something had gone terribly wrong if such a wholesale failure of the democratic process had occurred in Europe? It would suggest that we had missed or ignored a growing failure within the democratic system of a whole continent.

Transatlantic Tour
Douglas Murray – January/February 2012
To the US for a five-day speaking tour of ten cities from Boston to Texas. On the penultimate day I arrive in Houston and stare at the luggage carousel board. A member of the airport staff approaches helpfully. “Where have you flown in from, sir?” she asks. I look at her blankly before admitting, “I’m not sure.” She looks at me in a kindly manner.
On the final day I fly from Chicago at 5.30 in the morning to speak in Florida at 10am. The morning slot is kicked off by Herman Cain. I am sorry when he subsequently leaves the presidential primary race. But there is no escaping a fact that has been clear across the country: all Democrats are disappointed by Obama, but hardly any Republicans are actively keen on their alternatives. The Republican party’s “last man standing who hasn’t made a gaffe” competition should never be the way to nominate the leader of the free world. But in any case it is a terrible field.
Sunday, Bloody Sunday – a long day’s journey into light
By Peter Hitchens – 15 December 2011
As it happens, this posting answers the jibe from ‘Tarquin’ that I attack anything David Cameron does, because it is David Cameron doing it. I completely agree with and endorse his response to the Saville report on the Londonderry massacre (otherwise known as ‘Bloody Sunday’). He was quite right to offer the apologies of the British government and to accept that those killed on that day in 1972 were innocent, and to do so in generous and candid terms.
But that is not my reason for posting on this subject. I am moved to do so by reading Douglas Murray’s excellent and moving book on ‘Bloody Sunday’, recently published by Biteback.

Farage says Ukip could offer Tories electoral pact in return for referendum
Andrew Sparrow speaks to the Ukip leader about electoral pacts, ‘nutters’, banning the burqa and Europe
Andrew Sparrow – 19 December 2011
“This is the perfect environment if you are Nigel Farage,” Nick Clegg told the Guardian at the end of last week. “The people who are trying to exploit the politics of grievance and blame, they believe they have got the wind in their sails.”
By coincidence, I was interviewing Farage, the leader of the United Kingdom Independence party (Ukip) on Friday and at that point he didn’t seem to have the wind in his sails.
It was a few hours after the announcement of the result in the Feltham and Heston byelection and, despite speculation that Ukip could overtake the Lib Dems, Clegg’s party hung on to third place. But, as Farage talked about the broader political picture, he was upbeat about Ukip’s chances of tugging Britain out of the EU. Here are the key points from our conversation.

Britain and Hungary refused to accept EU-wide treaty changes, leaving the rest of the club to work out their own currency-saving solutions. The UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage believes, that Eurozone countries are now trapped inside economic prison called euro.

Is this really the end?
Unless Germany and the ECB move quickly, the single currency’s collapse is looming
Nov 26th 2011
Even as the euro zone hurtles towards a crash, most people are assuming that, in the end, European leaders will do whatever it takes to save the single currency. That is because the consequences of the euro’s destruction are so catastrophic that no sensible policymaker could stand by and let it happen.
A euro break-up would cause a global bust worse even than the one in 2008-09. The world’s most financially integrated region would be ripped apart by defaults, bank failures and the imposition of capital controls (see article). The euro zone could shatter into different pieces, or a large block in the north and a fragmented south. Amid the recriminations and broken treaties after the failure of the European Union’s biggest economic project, wild currency swings between those in the core and those in the periphery would almost certainly bring the single market to a shuddering halt. The survival of the EU itself would be in doubt.
Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, is reputed to be a sensible, level-headed lady. So when she claimed in the eurozone bail-out negotiations that their failure could threaten continued peace between Europe’s nations, the media latched on to her words. Could it really be true that, 66 years after a world war that had been calamitous for her country and its people, the leader of Germany was warning of a similar horror? Would that be the price to be paid by Europe’s citizens if their single currency area were to disintegrate?
A fair comment is that Merkel’s remarks caused bemusement to many not directly involved in the negotiations and able to maintain a degree of objectivity. The United Nations has 193 members, while the European Union has 27 and the eurozone 17. One hundred and seventy-six countries do not have the euro as their currency and 166 do not even belong to the EU.
How could so many clever people get it so wrong? The flaws in the euro project are not just clear with hindsight; they were visible at the outset and were widely pointed out. It was never going to be possible to jam widely divergent economies into a single monetary policy. It was plainly reckless to invite Italy and Greece to join the new currency when their government debt was at twice the permitted level of 60 per cent of GDP. Plenty of doubters said so at the time. Yet, in every national parliament, in every central bank, in every university faculty, in every television editorial conference, there was a collective suspension of disbelief.
Why? What were they thinking? If you listen carefully to what Euro-integrationists were saying when the single currency was launched, you hear a subtext. It’s not so much that they liked the euro, it’s that they disliked the people who opposed it. Listen, for example to Charles Kennedy in 2002:

McGuinness Time Out
Douglas Murray – December 2011
The failure of Martin McGuinness to gain the presidency of Ireland strikes me as one of the happiest news stories of the year. Among the most suggestive moments of the campaign was when the television presenter Miriam O’Callaghan asked, “How do you square, Martin McGuinness, with your God the fact that you were involved in the murder of so many people?” A good question, well asked.
Naturally, live on air, McGuinness did not appreciate this question. Afterwards he asked the mother-of-eight for a private word, and apparently left her distinctly shaken. When this became public it did not go down well.
The Euro: The Rope That Is Strangling Spain… and Europe’s Democracy
by Peter Martino – November 21, 2011
Spain’s Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero is the fourth head of government of the 17 eurozone countries in barely six weeks to lose his position as a result of the eurocrisis. Earlier Slovakia’s Iveta Radicova, Greece’s George Papandreou and Italy’s Silvio Berlusconi were forced to resign. Last Sunday, Zapatero lost the elections after a campaign which was overshadowed by the worst economic crisis Spain has encountered since civil war in the 1930s.
Spain has Europe’s highest unemployment rate – almost 23% of the workforce is without a job – and its highest youth unemployment – a staggering 47%. Spain’s national debt is relatively low, but, with a budget defecit of 9% and hardly any economic growth, is rising rapidly.
