    Here's what Peter Sutherland said ( one of the EU's shady characters and policy makers)
    a while ago ...

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-18519395
    The EU should "do its best to undermine" the "homogeneity" of its member states, the UN's special representative for migration has said.

    Peter Sutherland told peers the future prosperity of many EU states depended on them becoming multicultural.

    He also suggested the UK government's immigration policy had no basis in international law.

    He was being quizzed by the Lords EU home affairs sub-committee which is investigating global migration.

    Mr Sutherland, who is non-executive chairman of Goldman Sachs International and a former chairman of oil giant BP, heads the Global Forum on Migration and Development , which brings together representatives of 160 nations to share policy ideas.

    He told the House of Lords committee migration was a "crucial dynamic for economic growth" in some EU nations "however difficult it may be to explain this to the citizens of those states".

    'More open'
    An ageing or declining native population in countries like Germany or southern EU states was the "key argument and, I hesitate to the use word because people have attacked it, for the development of multicultural states", he added.

    "It's impossible to consider that the degree of homogeneity which is implied by the other argument can survive because states have to become more open states, in terms of the people who inhabit them. Just as the United Kingdom has demonstrated."

    The Bilderberg Group , a top level international networking organisation often criticised for its alleged secrecy, called on EU states to stop targeting "highly skilled" migrants, arguing that "at the most basic level individuals should have a freedom of choice" about whether to come and study or work in another country.

    Mr Sutherland also briefed the peers on plans for the Global Migration and Development Forum's next annual conference in Mauritius in November, adding: "The UK has been very constructively engaged in this whole process from the beginning and very supportive of me personally."

    Asked afterwards how much the UK had contributed to the forum's running costs in the six years it had been in existence, he said it was a relatively small sum in the region of "tens of thousands".

    A brief history of Peter Sutherland
    He was non-executive Chairman of Goldman Sachs International (a registered UK broker-dealer, a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs) until June 2015. Until June 2009 he was non-executive chairman of BP being replaced by Carl-Henric Svanberg formerly chief executive officer of Ericsson. Sutherland was a director of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group until he was asked to leave the board when it had to be taken over by the UK government to avoid bankruptcy. He also formerly served on the board of ABB.
    He served on the steering committee of the Bilderberg Group,[19] until May 2014 and is an Honorary Chairman of the Trilateral Commission (2010 -), he was Chairman of the Trilateral Commission (Europe) (2001–10)[20] and was vice chairman of the European Round Table of Industrialists (2006–09).[21]

    He was Chairman of the Board of Governors of the European Institute of Public Administration (Maastricht) from 1991 to 1996.[22] He is Honorary President of the European Movement Ireland.[23]

    Some time ago there was in interview with Schauble, the German Minister of Finance, in Der Spiegel. He advocated the same ideas. This whole immigration wave is an intended and coordinated effort.

  4. This is their LIE... that "forced Islamification (goes for America's southern border and hispanics, too) is for your own good and the good of your country"... to get stupid sheeple to accept and suffer the consequences of NWO and globalist elites' agenda.

    Hah! Liberal Media Gets Punked by 4Chan – Petition for Second Brexit Vote was Spammed

    Jim Hoft Jun 26th, 2016 11:16 am 47 Comments

    Mainstream media outlets in Great Britain and the US were running news Sunday of a stunning petition that shows 2 million people want a new Brexit vote.

    Over “two million” signed the referendum in less than 24 hours!

    "The petition will also come as unwelcome news for Nigel Farage, the anti-EU leader of the UK Independence Party. But he doesn’t have much cause to complain, given he said in May that a 52-48 win for the Remain side would be such a narrow margin that he’d fight for a second referendum to be held."
    ROFL, perfect.

    4chan has delusions of grandeur.

    Brexit: Petition calling for second EU vote was created by Leave backer
    By Tim Hume, CNN

    Updated 12:41 PM ET, Sun June 26, 2016

    London (CNN) "An online petition signed by more than 3 million people calling for a second referendum on whether Britain should leave the EU was started by a Leave campaigner who says it has been "hijacked" by unhappy Remain voters.

    "The petition, which has attracted more than 3,234,000 signatures in the wake of Britain's shock vote to leave the European Union last Thursday, calls for a second referendum on the issue if the result is less than decisive.
    "Labour Party leader under fire following Brexit vote 03:38
    Another referendum should be held, it says, "if the remain or leave vote is less than 60 percent based a turnout less than 75 percent." In a startling result, the Leave campaign won Thursday's referendum with 52% of the vote, with 72% of voters turning out.
    Disappointed voters have flocked to sign the petition in the wake of the vote, crashing the official UK government website on at least one occasion and generating more signatures than on any other petition on the site.

    "But the surge in interest has prompted its creator, William Oliver Healey, to speak out, saying that he in fact he had actively supported the Leave campaign, and had created the petition "with the intention of making it harder for 'remain' to further shackle us to the EU."

    Creator: Petition 'hijacked'
    "Healey, an activist for the English Democrats -- a fringe, nationalist political party -- wrote on Facebook Sunday that he had created the petition "when it was looking unlikely that 'leave' were going to win." The petition had since been "hijacked by the remain campaign," he wrote.
    Robin Tilbrook, chairman of English Democrats, said that Healey had created the petition to help frame the terms under which the referendum would be contested.
    "Healey was "quite surprised" and "feeling slightly under pressure" by the attention the petition was receiving, Tilbrook said.
    "It's a slightly ironic situation where if the Remainers ... had understood what was going to happen, they would probably have wanted to adopt what Oliver was suggesting," he said.
    Instead, they had been "cocksure" of victory, Tilbrook said.

    100,000 threshold
    "Any petition that gets more than 100,000 signatures is considered by Parliament's Petitions Committee, which weighs whether to send the petition for debate by lawmakers. MP Helen Jones, chair of the committee, said in a statement Sunday that the committee would consider the petition at its meeting this week and decide whether to schedule a parliamentary debate on it.

    "But the petition, created in May, may not have a realistic chance of being acted upon.
    British Prime Minister David Cameron, who announced his intention to resign following the defeat of his Remain campaign, has previously said there would be no second referendum if the results were close, and enacting the petition would entail enacting laws retrospectively.

    "I don't think anyone thinks it's legally binding in any sense," said Tilbrook, adding that the petition's signatories were guilty of "sour grapes" over the result.
    Jones' statement also said that the government was investigating reports of fraudulent signatures being added to the referendum. The petitions committee later tweeted that about 77,000 fraudulent signatures had been removed.

    "British MPs debated banning Donald Trump from the country for hate speech earlier this year after an online petition urging such action received more than half a million signatures. But no action was taken against the U.S. presidential candidate, who visited the UK in recent days.
    CNN's James Masters, Samuel Burke and Bryony Jones contributed to this report."

    Brexit's broken promises: Health care, immigration and the economy
    by Mark Thompson and Katie Hunt @CNNMoney
    June 27, 2016: 10:07 AM ET

    "So much for all those promises. Leading politicians in the campaign to pull the U.K. out of the European Union are back-pedaling fast on a number of pledges, particularly over extra money for health care.

    "The retreat has prompted howls of outrage, from politicians who wanted Britain to stay in the EU as well as some Leave voters who say they feel "cheated."

    "Here are three pledges that are crumbling days after the historic Brexit vote:

    "Campaign promise #1: We'll give EU cash to the National Health Service

    "Nigel Farage, leader of the U.K. Independence Party and who campaigned for Brexit said implying that money sent to the EU could be spent on the health service in the future was a mistake.

    "The official Vote Leave campaign claimed that membership in the EU cost the U.K. £350 million a week, "enough to build a brand new, fully staffed ... hospital every week."

    "The slogan was painted on the side of the campaign's bright red bus. Pro-Brexit politicians continued to make the claim, despite being repeatedly admonished by the independent statistics watchdog for misleading voters.

    "Iain Duncan Smith, a leading figure in Vote Leave, told the BBC that the campaign didn't say "all" of it would go to the NHS but "a significant amount of it" would.


    "No I can't [guarantee it], and I would never have made that claim. That was one of the mistakes that I think the Leave campaign made," he said on British TV after the vote.

    "About half of the money Britain hands over to the EU is returned to the country via subsidies for farmers, grants for research and funding for infrastructure. And that money is already committed.

    "Brexiteers told Britain's farmers and poor regions such as Cornwall that they wouldn't lose out financially once those funds are cut off. They made similar commitments to support U.K. universities and scientists -- the second biggest beneficiaries of research grants from the EU.

    "Cornwall, in southwest England, voted in favor of leaving the EU. Local officials are already seeking confirmation from the government that the county won't be worse off as a result.

    "Campaign promise #2: We'll take control of the UK's borders

    "During the campaign, Brexiteers attacked the U.K. government for missing its target to cut net migration to tens of thousands (it was 333,000 last year), saying that only by leaving the EU could Britain control immigration.

    "Many voters say they backed Brexit because they expected immigration to fall.

    "Leave campaigner and lawmaker Nigel Evans told BBC radio that there had been "some misunderstanding" over the Leave campaign's position on reducing immigration.

    "When asked if the number of people coming into the country would fall significantly, Evans said that a new Australian-style points system for EU migrants meant the U.K. would be able to control immigration-- but he didn't say it would fall.

    "Brexit voters have another problem: Negotiations on the terms of Britain's exit haven't even begun. The U.K. may have to keep its borders open to EU workers if it wants to trade freely with the rest of Europe-- a view articulated on Fridayby Daniel Hannan, another leading voice in the Leave campaign.

    "Don't care what you said Mr Hannan. We just voted to stop mass immigration. Now deliver for us," tweeted Vote Leave Derbyshire.

    "Boris Johnson, a leading Leave campaigner and frontrunner to be next prime minister, wrote on Sunday that British citizens will still have access to the EU single market.

    "British people will still be able to go and work in the EU; to live; to travel; to study; to buy homes; and to settle down," he wrote for the Telegraph.

    "The problem, of course, is that such continued freedom of movement for Brits will require freedom of movement for Europeans.

    "Campaign promise #3: The economy will be fine

    "The U.K. government and just about every independent forecaster, including the International Monetary Fund, said that a vote for Brexit would trigger financial and economic turmoil.

    "Those warnings were dubbed "Project Fear" by Brexiteers, who said the U.K. would thrive outside the EU.

    "Consider this: Since the results of the vote became known early Friday, the pound has crashed 12% against the U.S. dollar to its lowest level in decades, U.K. bank stocks have collapsed, and growth forecasts for the British economy have been slashed.

    "Companies are putting investments on hold, and warning of lower profits. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said Monday the economy and government finances will suffer, but an emergency budget won't happen until a new prime minister is chosen in October.

    "Business says it can't wait that long. Banks are already thinking about moving staff out of London.

    "What we need is a plan," said CBI Director-General Carolyn Fairbairn. "The government must act with urgency to minimize the uncertainties that affect investment decisions and slow job creation."

    "Analysts say the contrast between promises and results will cause huge headaches for the new prime minister.

    "He (or she) won't be able to deliver the Brexiteers' promises of saving £350 million by leaving the EU, enjoying favorable trade agreements, 'taking control' of immigration while avoiding any significant economic setback at the same time," wrote Holger Schmieding at Berenberg bank."

    Sore Losers want a do-over and keep holding referendums until they win. Then they'd say it was all over. They've probably been watching the democrats in the US.
