There are two events this year that could have an enormous effect on the future of the world. One is the presidential election in the USA and the other is the Brexit vote in the UK. If Donald Trump is elected president of the USA and the U.K. votes to leave the European Union this will be an enormous setback for the elite money men, socialist political leaders, corporatist interests, global companies that know no borders, in fact everything that epitomises the internationalist, globalist agenda, the virtual Tower of Babel that finds its ultimate manifestation in the superstate under construction that is the EU. All those who represent the New World Order and world government will get a kick in the teeth and have to move back in the queue just as the Brits will have to do of course if they leave the EU and try and form a trade deal with the USA! As Lord Obama said of course.

This is why so many people are up in arms about the Donald, as he is stirring up a hornets nest, attacking the forces of political correctness like a bulldozer. Nothing epitomises this direct challenge to the evil power known as ‘political correctness’ than Trump’s proposal to ban all Moslems from entering the USA ‘until we know what’s going on.’ Moslems are at the top of the food chain of the far left’s ‘victim’ groups. Trump has faced Islam down head on.

Trump might be seen as like a ‘Cyrus’ in the Biblical sense, raised up by the Almighty to destroy the spirit of control that is now spreading all over the western world like a lethal virus, causing decent people to hesitate about speaking common sense. In the Old Testament Cyrus was a heathen King who was used by God to decree the return of the exiled Jews to Israel. Trump likewise is poised to give a poke in the eye to all those who think they have the world locked into a one way trajectory. Yes he may not be to every conservatives taste, he may flip flop on a number of issues, he may even be seen as an immoral man, but he is not afraid to confront issues that need to be dealt with, and he is the only politician of a major western country that is prepared to say things about Islam that need to be said.

Meanwhile nothing would give the enemies of the U.K. more joy than to lock her irreversibly into a superstate which would shackle her potential ingenuity and creativity for ever. The land of Magna Carta, the mother of parliaments and the greatest empire the world has ever known finally tamed and neutered. Believe you me the influential ‘remainers’ as they are called in the UK are desperate to keep the UK submitted to the European project. If Britain leaves however, I believe it could be a wonderful release which can enable Britain to enjoy much greater freedom of movement.

Sadly, the U.K. doesn’t have leaders with a clear eye at this time, only the First and Second Lords of the Treasury, who some would say are acting like snake oil salesmen, Cameron and Osborne, who come with an ever more ludicrous narrative to try and bully the British people to stay in the corrupt and totalitarian EU. The referendum campaign in Britain demonstrates the stranglehold the BBC, the media and the establishment have on controlling the agenda. One of the saddest things about the campaign is the emphasis by the remainers on the importance of the economy. They have managed to get a profound debate on an issue close to the hearts of many concerning liberty and democracy down to the level of pounds, shillings and pence, when pecuniary interest should be the last issue in the debate.

However a UK set free from the straightjacket of Europe and able to make more of her own decisions would be a potential force for good in the world. There is enormous scope for developing the relationship with the Commonwealth which would have more natural allegiance to the monarchy and British traditions than could ever be drummed up from our European partners. The U.K. would be able to break free from all the tentacles of the EU octopus that have inveigled themselves into the UK body politic and to set a course which suits herself. Trade would be established with new markets unburdened by EU regulation, and last but not least the UK could help to free other nations also shackled by Brussels. A Brexit could initiate a domino effect that could reverberate through the whole EU.

So these two events give a great chance to the two great old champions of the free world, now much diminished, to make a bid for freedom. If the American people, thoroughly fed up with the political class go for Trump, and the British people show a little courage to break free from the powerful manipulative spirit of the EU, there may be more for the world to rejoice about at the end of the year than there was at the beginning. We can only live in hope.
