Who is paying for Remain and Peoples Vote? The European Movement, Open Britain Ltd and Best for Britain

The European Movement - the Controllers

The European Movement now controls Open Britain Ltd, Scientists for EU and Healthier In the EU, these groups share offices and are largely financed by "Best for Britain".

"Open Britain Ltd" may be unknown to readers but it was previously called "The In Campaign Ltd" which campaigned as "Britain Stronger in Europe", the official IN Referendum campaign.

According to an article in the pro-EU New Statesman this campaigning group run by the European Movement has deeply penetrated Westminster: "Every Wednesday morning they meet as a “grass-roots co-ordinating committee” to plot strategy with Labour’s Chuka Umunna, and the Conservatives’ Anna Soubry and other leading parliamentary opponents of Brexit."

Open Britain Ltd (the Remain Campaign) spent a whopping £19m on the EU Referendum but timed the campaign so that less than half of this was spent during the official campaign period and has spent about £600,000 this year on The "Peoples" Vote Campaign. 

Peter Mandelson, Will Straw, Trevor Phillips and Roland Rudd are amongst the Directors of the Remain Campaign.  Although it is natural to focus on the politicians and celebrities involved in the "Peoples" Vote, it is the grey suited representatives of the Corporate Elite who are more interesting.  As an example Roland Rudd, as well as being Amber Rudd's brother, is the WPP controlled director on the committee and WPP is one of the largest advertising agencies in the world.  Directors Daniel Gieve and Michael Rake are also big business appointees.  Rake has been a chair, adviser or president at organisations including easyJet, Worldpay, the CBI, the RNIB, Teneo and Business for New Europe. As President of the CBI Rake ran much of the the CBI's anti-Brexit campaign and filled the CBI with pro-EU staff.

The European Movement originally set up the Bilderberg Group of the Corporate Elite to further European Union but nowadays the control probably runs in the opposite direction.  The Bilderberg Group is almost certainly responsible, albeit indirectly, for the actions of the European Movement (See The Bilderberg Group and the Project of European unification anyone who has not read this academic paper probably knows nothing about modern politics in the West).

Best for Britain: The Financers of Remain and Peoples Vote

Best for Britain's real name is UK-EU Open Policy Ltd.  It was set up by George Soros and backed by WPP's chairman, Martin Sorrell. It raised a total of over £1m last year to fight Brexit from Soros and other members of the Corporate Elite. George Soros, alone has contributed £620,000.

We know that Richard Branson is financing anti-Brexit activity and JP Morgan, the giant US bank, has set its £2m a year International Chairman, Tony Blair on the job.

The real problem for those wishing to track the finance of the "Peoples" Vote is that individual billionaires can give their favoured causes and individuals the odd £30,000 without a second thought (Soros gave #FBPE, the Corporate pressure group, this amount). It is almost certainly true that £1m is a minimum figure for the finance that is being given to the anti-Britain movements.  Bilderbergers like WPP chairman Martin Sorrel can control the budgets of the commercial broadcast media because he runs the biggest advertising agency in the world.

You are still supporting the Corporate Elite with your unpaid work. Its clear that Soros and WPP are seeking to benefit financially from overturning the Referendum and they are not working for you and me. It is sad how little Remain supporters tend to know about what they are working towards.

The Falklands have always been Argentine - Las Malvinas son Argentinas

"The Falklands have always been Argentine" is taught to every Argentine child as a matter of faith.  What was Argentina during the time when it "always" possessed Las Malvinas?  In this article I will trace the history of Argentina in the context of its physical and political relationship with "Las Malvinas", the Falkland Islands.  The Argentine claim to the Falkland Islands dates from a brief episode in 1831-32 so it is like Canada claiming the USA despite two centuries of separate development. This might sound like ancient history but Argentina has gone to war for this ancient claim so the following article is well worth reading. For a summary of the legal case see: Las Malvinas: The Legal Case Argentina traces its origins to Spanish South America when it was part of the Viceroyalty of the Rio del Plata.  The Falklands lay off the Viceroyalty of Peru, controlled by the Captain General of Chile.  In 1810 the Falklands were far from the geographical b...

Practical Idealism by Richard Nicolaus Coudenhove-Kalergi

Coudenhove-Kalergi was a pioneer of European integration. He was the founder and President for 49 years of the Paneuropean Union. His parents were Heinrich von Coudenhove-Kalergi, an Austro-Hungarian diplomat, and Mitsuko Aoyama, the daughter of an oil merchant, antiques-dealer, and huge landowner family in Tokyo. His "Pan-Europa" was published in 1923 and contained a membership form for the Pan-Europa movement. Coudenhove-Kalergi's movement held its first Congress in Vienna in 1926. In 1927 the French Prime Minister, Aristide Briand was elected honorary president.  Personalities attending included: Albert Einstein, Thomas Mann and Sigmund Freud. Figures who later became central to founding the EU, such as Konrad Adenauer became members . His basic idea was that democracy was a transitional stage that leads to rule by a new aristocracy that is largely taken from the Jewish "master race" (Kalergi's terminology). His movement was reviled by Hitler and H...

Membership of the EU: pros and cons

5th December 2013, update May 2016 Nigel Lawson, ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer,  recently criticised the UK membership of the EU , the media has covered his mainstream view as if he is a bad boy starting a fight in the school playground, but is he right about the EU? What has changed that makes EU membership a burning issue?  What has changed is that the 19 countries of the Eurozone are now seeking political union to escape their financial problems.   Seven further EU countries have signed up to join the Euro but the British and Danish have opted out.  The EU is rapidly becoming two blocks - the 26 and Britain and Denmark.   Lawson's fear was that if Britain stays in the EU it will be isolated and dominated by a Eurozone bloc that uses "unified representation of the euro area" , so acting like a single country which controls 90% of the vote in the EU with no vetoes available to the UK in most decisions.  The full plans for Eurozone po...
