One little snippet hidden in the bill that caught the attention of some media outlets is the topic of unidentified aerial phenomenon, also known as UFOs or UAPs.
Collective-evolution reports: This large spending bill also contains the Intelligence Authorization Act, which outlines clandestine reporting requirements to the congress. In the “black budget” world, many of these programs have been, and probably still are, completely exempt from reporting requirements to the Congress. There are developments in this world that not even a president of the United States has access to.
I am talking about Special Access Programs (SAP). From these we have unacknowledged and waived SAPs. These programs do not exist publicly, but they do indeed exist. They are better known as ‘deep black programs.’ A 1997 US Senate report described them as “so sensitive that they are exempt from standard reporting requirements to the Congress.” (source)
The bill states that intelligence agencies must address “observed airborne objects that have not been identified and include a “detailed analysis of unidentified phenomena data collected by: a geospatial intelligence, b. signals intelligence; c. human intelligence; and d. measurement and signals intelligence.”
The report required within 180 days must also contain “[a] detailed analysis of data of the FBI, which was derived from investigations of intrusions of unidentified aerial phenomena data over restricted United States airspace … and an assessment of whether this unidentified aerial phenomena activity may be attributed to one or more foreign adversaries.”
Chris Mellon, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence, told The Debrief that “the newly enacted Intelligence Authorization Act incorporates the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report language calling for an unclassified, all-source report on the UAP phenomenon.

Hollywood actress Alyssa Milano has declared that face masks offer Americans more protection than AR-15 ’ s .
The Biden-supporting # MeToo hypocrite blasted people who disagree with mask mandates , claiming they are the same people who “ think they need an AR-15 for ‘ ” protection.
’ ” “ Anti-maskers are the same people who think they need an AR-15 for “ protection ” .
LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK : A MASK WILL PROTECT YOU *MORE* THAN AN AR-15 WILL , ” Milano tweeted on Tuesday .
Breitbart.com reports : Alyssa Milano ’ s claims @ @ @ @ @ @ @ AR-15s for self-defense , i.e.
, “ protection , ” numerous times in recent years .
And in many of those situations , an AR-15 allowed an outnumbered , would-be victim , to fend off an attack from multiple suspects .
For example , on March 28 , 2017 , Breitbart News reported that a Broken Arrow , Oklahoma homeowner ’ s son used an AR-15 to defend his life against three home intruders .
The 23-year-old son was asleep when intruders entered the house and awoke to the noises they made .

On July 11 , 2019 , Ocala.com reported that a homeowner used an AR-15 to defend himself against four home intruders , at least some of which were armed and at least one of whom was wearing a “ Jason ” mask .
Although outnumbered , the homeowner foiled the invasion by shooting and killing two of the four invaders and causing the other two to flee .
On November 4 , 2019 , NBC News @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an AR-15 to fend off two home intruders .
She grabbed the AR-15 after two invaders entered her home and began pistol whipping her husband .

Australian Senator Jim Molan warned that World War 3 will erupt between the U.S. and China within 5 years amid escalating tensions between the world’s two superpowers.
Sen. Molan, who is a former Australian Army Major-General, warned Seven News, “We are likely in the next three to five years or in the next five to ten years to be involved in a war between China and the United States.”

Molan said that China has been preparing for such a scenario for a long time and was proving it by being belligerent with its closest adversaries.
“They [China] are picking fights with their neighbors around the world and they have extraordinary military capability, not just in rockets and aircraft but in overall capability to do things,” Molan said.
Summit.news reports: While asserting that the Australian military has never been in a better position to defend itself against outside threats, Molan couldn’t say the same for America.
“In 1991, the US Navy was 600 warships strong. Now it’s less than 300,” he pointed out.
The Senator added that the war was not “inevitable” and could be avoided if all sides “prepare”.
Molan’s warning has been echoed by other prominent geopolitical experts, including Henry Kissinger, who last year cautioned that a catastrophic conflict between America and China that will be “worse than world wars” is inevitable unless the two sides sort out their differences.

President Trump is just a few days away from going to the “ dustbin of history ” according to Iran ’ s President Hassan Rouhani Rouhani reiterated Tehran ’ s resolve to avenge the death of General Qassem Soleimani who was assassinated by the US .
RT reports : Speaking during a cabinet meeting on Wednesday , Rouhani harshly criticized his US counterpart , focusing on the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani , ordered personally by Trump at the beginning of 2020 .
The assassination has greatly backfired for Trump , not only dealing great damage to the US position @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ultimately becoming a factor in his political downfall , Rouhani argued .
“ The enemy ’ s goal was to break the resistance in the region with the martyrdom of Martyr Soleimani , but it was the other way around and the spirit of resistance in the region boosted , ” the president stated , adding that the impending end of Trump ’ s term in office is likely to bring more stability for the region , as well as the whole world .
Iran ’ s leader didn ’ t hold back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ criminal ” whose life was about to “ end ” , apparently referring , however , more to the US president ’ s political career rather than his physical existence .
One of the effects of this stupid and disgraceful act was that Trumpism ended and in a few days , the life of this criminal will end , and he will go to the dustbin of history , and we are very happy about this and we believe that the period after Trump will be a better condition for regional and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Quds force within Iran ’ s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ( IRGC ) , was killed on January 3 outside Baghdad International Airport by a US drone strike , as he was traveling in a car alongside high-ranking Iraqi military officials , including Iraqi paramilitary chief Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis .
The assassination has been widely cheered by Trump , who called Soleimani a “ monster ” allegedly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans .
The killing prompted a furious reaction from Tehran , that went as far as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ across Iraq , that housed troops of the US-led coalition .
While US authorities , including Trump , have tried hard to downplay the impact of the attacks , dismissing them as a vanity show of force , it emerged later that dozens of soldiers received “ traumatic brain injuries ” during the strikes .
The assassination , however , has not only angered Iran , but was widely perceived as an insult and a breach of allied obligations in Iraq .
The killing prompted the Iraqi parliament to show rare unity and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ withdrawal of all foreign troops from the country – primarily , those of the US and its coalition allies .
Soleimani ’ s murder also triggered a chain of attacks on US installations across Iraq , military and diplomatic alike .
The repeated shelling of the facilities prompted Washington to abandon several military bases , returning full control of them to the Iraqi government .
The constant threat of attacks has also prompted Washington to install additional defenses at its already heavily fortified embassy in Baghdad ’ s Green Zone .

General Soleimani, commander of the Quds force within Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was killed on January 3 outside Baghdad International Airport by a US drone strike, as he was traveling in a car alongside high-ranking Iraqi military officials, including Iraqi paramilitary chief Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. The assassination has been widely cheered by Trump, who called Soleimani a “monster” allegedly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans.
The killing prompted a furious reaction from Tehran, that went as far as launching missile strikes on several military installations across Iraq, that housed troops of the US-led coalition. While US authorities, including Trump, have tried hard to downplay the impact of the attacks, dismissing them as a vanity show of force, it emerged later that dozens of soldiers received “traumatic brain injuries” during the strikes.
The assassination, however, has not only angered Iran, but was widely perceived as an insult and a breach of allied obligations in Iraq. The killing prompted the Iraqi parliament to show rare unity and pass a non-binding resolution urging the full withdrawal of all foreign troops from the country – primarily, those of the US and its coalition allies.

Thegatewaypundit.com reports: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has the votes to block new witnesses and the impeachment trial should be over by the weekend, according to ABC News.
Tyrant Pelosi tried to drag out impeachment as long as possible by refusing to deliver the articles of impeachment to the senate for 33 days.
The House Democrats’ case was so weak that Trump’s defense team obliterated Schiff and Pelosi in just a few days with facts.
Update: An earlier version of this article incorrectly suggested that Nancy Pelosi had suffered a “meltdown” and had gone on a “rant” when talking to reporters. We have removed references to this in the headline and body of the article as this did not occur.

newspunch--2020-02-02--Soros Says Zuckerberg Must Be Removed From Facebook ‘One Way Or Another’

Billionaire globalist George Soros is gunning for Mark Zuckerberg again , saying he should not be in control of the social media giant facebook .
Just as Mark Zuckerberg vowed to allow free speech on his social media platform , some leftists are now trashing Facebook as a would-be enforcement arm of all things evil .
Soros now wants the Facebook CEO and his COO to be deposed and has accused them of seeking to “ maximize profits ” without regard for consequences .
RT reports : Zuckerberg and Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg “ follow only one guiding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consequences , ” Soros snarled on Friday in a New York Times op-ed .
While his detractors might have used those exact words to describe the financier ’ s own “ guiding principle , ” Soros meant it as a scathing condemnation .
Soros doesn ’ t just want Zuckerberg and Sandberg removed from power – he wants “ those who spread false information ” punished more severely .
Lest one think he ’ s merely referring to users who circulate viral hoaxes , the iron-fisted philanthropist made it clear he had set @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now-well-known US law that protects social media platforms from liability for content their users post .
Facebook , he said , should be treated as a publisher , not a platform , and “ held accountable for the content that appears on its site.
” Accusing the Menlo Park behemoth of maintaining an “ informal mutual assistance operation or agreement ” with US President Donald Trump “ in which Facebook will help President Trump to get reelected and Trump will , in turn , defend Facebook against attacks from regulators and the media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world like one of the ‘ conspiracy theorists ’ that the fact-checking NGOs he funds have tried to muscle off Facebook .
Soros ’ s denunciations of what he insisted was pro-Trump bias on the platform – first voiced last week at the World Economic Forum in Davos – echoed the laments of prominent Democratic politicians .
No surprise , given that he ’ d already poured $ 5.1 million into the party ’ s coffers by August 2019 .
Hillary Clinton , who blamed her failed 2016 candidacy on Facebook ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” among other culprits , joined the parade of politicians dumping on the platform earlier this month , calling out the “ authoritarian ” Zuckerberg for refusing to fact-check political ads .
Elizabeth Warren , who has promised to “ break up Big Tech ” – after censoring it within an inch of its life – claimed all the way back in October that Zuckerberg had changed the platform ’ s policy on political ads only after a meeting with Trump .
Facebook executives have repeatedly denied any such collusion , but Soros @ @ @ @ @ @ @ manager ’ s claim that Facebook had “ given him the edge ” in 2016 , implied the platform had been working hand-in-glove with the presidency ever since then .
“ This seems to have marked the beginning of a special relationship , ” he seethed , pointing to a September meeting between Trump and Zuckerberg as further proof something nefarious was going on behind the scenes .
Soros has been targeting Facebook since 2018 , when he denounced the platform – along with Google – as a “ menace ” to society @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to its dopamine-spiked landscape , timing his sale and purchase of stock in the company to take advantage of the reaction to his public condemnations .
When Facebook retaliated by hiring a PR firm to attack the billionaire , he brought out the big guns , demanding Congress regulate the social media behemoth .
Apparently , Facebook bestowing responsibility for fact-checking user-generated content on an organization backed by Soros and his fellow “ liberal interventionists ” was apparently not sufficient penance .
Soros dismissed the Facebook executives ’ claims that they were “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ place , ” insisting the platform be “ judged by what it does , not what it says.

One way or another, they should not be left in control of Facebook.
Soros doesn’t just want Zuckerberg and Sandberg removed from power – he wants “those who spread false information” punished more severely.

Facebook, he said, should be treated as a publisher, not a platform, and “held accountable for the content that appears on its site.”
Accusing the Menlo Park behemoth of maintaining an “informal mutual assistance operation or agreement” with US President Donald Trump “in which Facebook will help President Trump to get reelected and Trump will, in turn, defend Facebook against attacks from regulators and the media,” Soros sounded for all the world like one of the ‘conspiracy theorists’ that the fact-checking NGOs he funds have tried to muscle off Facebook.

When Facebook retaliated by hiring a PR firm to attack the billionaire, he brought out the big guns, demanding Congress regulate the social media behemoth. Apparently, Facebook bestowing responsibility for fact-checking user-generated content on an organization backed by Soros and his fellow “liberal interventionists” was apparently not sufficient penance.
Soros dismissed the Facebook executives’ claims that they were “trying to make the world a better place,” insisting the platform be “judged by what it does, not what it says.“

Fearing that “with Facebook’s help, Mr. Trump will win the 2020 election,” Soros has played the last card he has: demanding the exit of Zuckerberg and Sandberg, “one way or another.” The vague not-quite-an-order carries a whiff of a threat, given the man making it is considered one of the most influential figures in US and European politics – who has repeatedly shown that he won’t let morality get in the way of a big payday.

newspunch--2020-02-02--Mike Bloomberg Offers 60 Million Latinos $15 Per Hour: ‘We Welcome Immigrants’

Democratic candidate Michael Bloomberg is pitching for Latino votes with an offer of $ 15 per hour wages – but also a flood of new migrants eager to compete for jobs and apartments in Latino communities .
“ I believe we can once again be a country that welcomes immigrants , values immigrants , respects immigrants , and empowers them to pursue the American Dream , ” Bloomberg tweeted on January 30 .
Breitbart.com reports : The conflicting policy offer reflects shared goals of the Democrat Party ’ s two main leadership factions : Bloomberg and other investors who are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and progressives who are eager for imported pro-government voters .
In contrast , President Donald Trump promised a low-immigration , “ Hire American ” policy on Inauguration Day , helping salaries rise for millions of blue-collar Americans , including Latinos .
Unemployment rates for Latinos are now at a record low , and wages are at a record high .
Half of the 21.5 million working Latinos earn above $ 712 a week , according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics .
The median wage for Latinos is almost $ 18 per hour @ @ @ @ @ @ @ combination of government-engineered higher wages , more social status , and more opportunities for voters ’ children : Today , I ’ m releasing my plan to bring security and a new path forward to the 60 million Latinos who live in our country , Our path forward starts by improving economic security .
By expanding the earned income tax credit , and by raising the minimum wage to $ 15 an hour .
And we ’ ll make sure Latino American families have health insurance .
No one should ever be denied @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President George W. Bush did in 2002 , Bloomberg is also promising to spur homeownership among Latinos : But Bloomberg ’ s pitch to “ 60 million ” Latinos — including at least 11 million illegal immigrants — reflects his willingness to characterize Latinos by their ethnic group instead of their American nationality : A vast majority of American Latinos — and many Latino migrants — oppose mass migration because it will make it difficult for them to earn good wages , buy decent houses , and get a good education for their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bloomberg ’ s Latino policy offers : Mike ’ s plan for Latinos in the U.S. ( El Paso Adelante , The Path Forward ) invests in Latino communities to boost prosperity and economic security .
President Trump has vilified , dehumanized and hurt the Latino community .
As president Mike Bloomberg will reverse that damage by addressing hate crimes and gun violence , closing the education , wealth , and health gap between Latinos and whites , and creating pathways to citizenship for millions of Latinos in the U.S. Clear the naturalization @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the 11 million undocumented immigrants .
His plan will provide permanent protections for Dreamers and Temporary Protected Status ( TPS ) holders , shielding them from deportation and putting them on a pathway to citizenship .
Additionally , the plan will expand immigration legal services .
Bloomberg has long supported an economic policy of stimulating Wall Street with a flood of imported consumers , renters , and workers .
That flood will expand sales , raise real-estate prices , and flatline wages .
Those changes would spike stock values and transfer more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and political power from family wage-earners to elderly stockholders , such as Bloomberg , whose estimated wealth is $ 60 billion .
The combination of a $ 15 minimum wage and the inflow of many healthy young migrants would also pressure U.S. employers to discard older , higher-paid Americans .
If Bloomberg ’ s investor-driven visions were enacted , employers would race to sideline many employes who are older , or disabled , or uneducated , or who earn higher wages .
Like Bush , Bloomberg ’ s policy is focussed on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of American workers .
“ This country needs more immigrants and we should be out looking for immigrants , ” Bloomberg told the San Diego Union-Tribune on January 5 : For those who need an oboe player for a symphony , we want the best one .
We need a striker for a soccer team , we want to get the best one .
We want a farmworker , we want to get the best one .
A computer programmer , we want to get the best one .
So we should be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We need an awful lot more immigrants rather than less , ” Bloomberg told reporters in November after he filed the paperwork needed to join the Democratic Party ’ s primary in Arizona : Bloomberg ’ s New American Economy group was formed in 2013 to push for passage of the “ Gang of Eight ” bill , which would have boosted stockholders and also flatlined wages for at least ten years , according to the Congressional Budget Office .
The bill provided an amnesty for all illegal aliens , doubled the annual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ — even as four million Americans turned 18 each year — and allowed an unlimited inflow of foreign college graduates .
“ The rate of return on capital would be higher [ than on labor ] under the legislation than under current law throughout the next two decades , ” says the CBO report , titled “ The Economic Impact of S. 744.
” “ The legislation would particularly increase the number of workers with lower or higher skills but would have less effect on the number of workers with average skills .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ workers would tend to be pushed downward slightly ( by less than ½ percent ) relative to the wages of workers with average skills , ” said the CBO report .
Bloomberg ’ s NEA website tries to build support for amnesty and more immigration by producing many studies .
For example , a January 2020 report boasted that “ New Data Shows Immigrants Make Up More Than 60 Percent of Middlesex County ’ s STEM Workers and Nearly Half of Business Owners .

Unemployment rates for Latinos are now at a record low, and wages are at a record high. Half of the 21.5 million working Latinos earn above $712 a week, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The median wage for Latinos is almost $18 per hour.
Bloomberg’s pitch offered a combination of government-engineered higher wages, more social status, and more opportunities for voters’ children:
Today, I’m releasing my plan to bring security and a new path forward to the 60 million Latinos who live in our country, Our path forward starts by improving economic security. By expanding the earned income tax credit, and by raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. … And we’ll make sure Latino American families have health insurance. No one should ever be denied access to care.
Just as pro-amnesty President George W. Bush did in 2002, Bloomberg is also promising to spur homeownership among Latinos:
We will also increase homeownership in the Latino community by providing down-payment assistance and increasing access to capital.
But Bloomberg’s pitch to “60 million” Latinos — including at least 11 million illegal immigrants — reflects his willingness to characterize Latinos by their ethnic group instead of their American nationality:
We’ll enact comprehensive immigration reform. We will create a path to legalization and citizenship for the 11 million people living in the shadows … We will get it done.
A vast majority of American Latinos — and many Latino migrants — oppose mass migration because it will make it difficult for them to earn good wages, buy decent houses, and get a good education for their kids.
But on his website, Bloomberg’s Latino policy offers:
Mike’s plan for Latinos in the U.S. (El Paso Adelante, The Path Forward) invests in Latino communities to boost prosperity and economic security. President Trump has vilified, dehumanized and hurt the Latino community. As president Mike Bloomberg will reverse that damage by addressing hate crimes and gun violence, closing the education, wealth, and health gap between Latinos and whites, and creating pathways to citizenship for millions of Latinos in the U.S. … Clear the naturalization backlog and create a path to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants. His plan will provide permanent protections for Dreamers and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, shielding them from deportation and putting them on a pathway to citizenship. Additionally, the plan will expand immigration legal services.
Bloomberg has long supported an economic policy of stimulating Wall Street with a flood of imported consumers, renters, and workers. That flood will expand sales, raise real-estate prices, and flatline wages.
Those changes would spike stock values and transfer more of the nation’s new wealth and political power from family wage-earners to elderly stockholders, such as Bloomberg, whose estimated wealth is $60 billion.
The combination of a $15 minimum wage and the inflow of many healthy young migrants would also pressure U.S. employers to discard older, higher-paid Americans. If Bloomberg’s investor-driven visions were enacted, employers would race to sideline many employes who are older, or disabled, or uneducated, or who earn higher wages.
Like Bush, Bloomberg’s policy is focussed on the needs of investors and employers, not of American workers. “This country needs more immigrants and we should be out looking for immigrants,” Bloomberg told the San Diego Union-Tribune on January 5:
For those who need an oboe player for a symphony, we want the best one. We need a striker for a soccer team, we want to get the best one. We want a farmworker, we want to get the best one. A computer programmer, we want to get the best one. So we should be out looking for more immigrants.
“We need an awful lot more immigrants rather than less,” Bloomberg told reporters in November after he filed the paperwork needed to join the Democratic Party’s primary in Arizona:
We have to go out and actually try to recruit immigrants to come here. We need immigrants to take all the different kinds of jobs that the country needs – improve our culture, our cuisine, our religion, our dialogue, and certainly improve our economy.
Bloomberg’s immigration plan says:
“The grandson of immigrants, Mike believes in the power of the American Dream,” says Bloomberg immigration agenda. It continues: Throughout his career, he has been a passionate advocate for welcoming immigrants and fixing the broken immigration system. Immigrants make our country stronger, and Mike is focused on reclaiming America’s role as the beacon of freedom and opportunity for people from around the world. Mike formed the pro-immigration organization New American Economy, representing more than 500 mayors and CEOs from all 50 states who are highlighting the contributions of immigrants.
Bloomberg’s New American Economy group was formed in 2013 to push for passage of the “Gang of Eight” bill, which would have boosted stockholders and also flatlined wages for at least ten years, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The bill provided an amnesty for all illegal aliens, doubled the annual inflow of legal immigrants to two million — even as four million Americans turned 18 each year — and allowed an unlimited inflow of foreign college graduates.
“The rate of return on capital would be higher [than on labor] under the legislation than under current law throughout the next two decades,” says the CBO report, titled “The Economic Impact of S. 744.”
“The legislation would particularly increase the number of workers with lower or higher skills but would have less effect on the number of workers with average skills. … The wages of lower- and higher-skilled workers would tend to be pushed downward slightly (by less than ½ percent) relative to the wages of workers with average skills,” said the CBO report.
Bloomberg’s NEA website tries to build support for amnesty and more immigration by producing many studies. For example, a January 2020 report boasted that “New Data Shows Immigrants Make Up More Than 60 Percent of Middlesex County’s STEM Workers and Nearly Half of Business Owners.”


newspunch--2020-02-02--Nigel Farage: Brexit Represents ‘Beginning of the End’ for Globalist EU

Nigel Farage has hailed Britain ’ s historic exit from the EU as the beginning of the end for the globalist European Union superstate .
Speaking to U.S. journalist Alex Marlow last week , the Brexit leader reflected on the historic events of Friday 31st 2020 , as after 50 years the UK breaks free from “ Project Europe.
” Breitbart.com reports : While this was a major moment for the United Kingdom itself , it would have reverberations around the Western world , where an ongoing struggle between populism — the will of ordinary people — and globalism is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who has been campaigning for Britain to leave the European Union for 27 years , said today was the ” beginning of the end ” for the European Union , and predicted something much better would follow .
“ It will take time , but I ’ m confident we will head towards a Europe of sovereign nations working and trading together , operating under fee markets and democratic principles , ” he said .
“ Brexit is not just historic for the United Kingdom , it is historic for the whole of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whole West.
” Reflecting that the British people had now won a battle against globalism , Mr Farage compared the victory to the Presidency of Donald Trump in the United States , which like Brexit was also a product of a 2016 vote and — it has been claimed — one in which American voters took a measure of confidence from the audacity of their British cousins in voting against the status quo .
Mr Farage continued : “ The way that it works , is giant multinational companies working hand-in-glove with bureaucracies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This is what globalism is , it ’ s all about creating an anti-competitive market that is a nightmare for small and medium businesses .
It takes away from voters , really , the ability to determine their own futures .
“ It ’ s exactly what Hillary Clinton believed , and had she won the election you ’ d be heading down this route too .
I guess the exciting thing for me is Brexit , in a way , is the first of the major fightbacks against this stuff .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ exactly the same view and we see other voices too , in Italy , France , and elsewhere .
“ The movement , the fightback against this stuff is really underway and this Friday marks a really important point .
For the first time in all my years there yesterday , I looked into the faces of those bureaucrats , those politicians , and it ’ s the first time to me they looked beaten.
” While this is a time for celebration , this is a war far from won — a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in all his recent interviews .
He told Breitbart News Daily that in the coming months the United Kingdom and European Union would be thrashing out the terms of their future relationship , and while Britain will technically be a sovereign nation under international law as of today , there were still ways in which the EU could claw back some power over the country .
Naming his key litmus tests of a successful Brexit and a Britain free of Brussels , Mr Farage said : “ The downsides are there are more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lose his nerve and might keep us tightly aligned to EU rules and that would make it difficult to do trade deals with America , et cetera .
“ But at the moment , as I said in that speech , Boris Johnson is saying all the right things .
And what I will try and do is make sure he will stick to his promises .
And if he does , the United Kingdom has some very exciting days ahead… Top areas [ of concern for the future of Brexit under Boris @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ At the moment we ‘ share ’ our waters with Europe ; we must take back control of our territorial waters .
“ The second is the role of the European Court of so-called Justice .
Any future trade deal can not , must not be decided by the European Court of justice because it will be biased in their favour — we need an independent arbiter .
“ The third and most important one is regulatory alignment .
If we stay aligned on everything from financial market regulations through to fisheries @ @ @ @ @ @ @ left , and our Parliament won ’ t really be legislating over areas of our national life that affect us so much .
“ They are the three massive key areas that we ’ ve got to sort out — Boris Johnson has promised that ’ s the direction he ’ s going to go in — and I ’ m going to hold him accountable.
” The United Kingdom will leave the European Union at the strike of midnight in Brussels — even to the last moment of Britain ’ s membership @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the European Union ’ s clock , not London ’ s .
This is equivalent to 2300GMT , or 1800EST .
Nigel Farage is leading a leaving party in Westminster on Friday evening , which is expected to be attended by thousands of people .

Breitbart.com reports: While this was a major moment for the United Kingdom itself, it would have reverberations around the Western world, where an ongoing struggle between populism — the will of ordinary people — and globalism is picking up pace.
Mr Farage, who has been campaigning for Britain to leave the European Union for 27 years, said today was the”beginning of the end” for the European Union, and predicted something much better would follow.
“It will take time, but I’m confident we will head towards a Europe of sovereign nations working and trading together, operating under fee markets and democratic principles,” he said.
“Brexit is not just historic for the United Kingdom, it is historic for the whole of Europe, and indeed politics across the whole West.”
Reflecting that the British people had now won a battle against globalism, Mr Farage compared the victory to the Presidency of Donald Trump in the United States, which like Brexit was also a product of a 2016 vote and — it has been claimed — one in which American voters took a measure of confidence from the audacity of their British cousins in voting against the status quo.

“It’s exactly what Hillary Clinton believed, and had she won the election you’d be heading down this route too.

And thank goodness, President Trump takes exactly the same view and we see other voices too, in Italy, France, and elsewhere.

While this is a time for celebration, this is a war far from won — a point Mr Farage has been hammering home in all his recent interviews.
He told Breitbart News Daily that in the coming months the United Kingdom and European Union would be thrashing out the terms of their future relationship, and while Britain will technically be a sovereign nation under international law as of today, there were still ways in which the EU could claw back some power over the country.
Naming his key litmus tests of a successful Brexit and a Britain free of Brussels, Mr Farage said: “The downsides are there are more negotiations to do. Boris Johnson might lose his nerve and might keep us tightly aligned to EU rules and that would make it difficult to do trade deals with America, et cetera.
“But at the moment, as I said in that speech, Boris Johnson is saying all the right things. And what I will try and do is make sure he will stick to his promises. And if he does, the United Kingdom has some very exciting days ahead… Top areas [of concern for the future of Brexit under Boris Johnson] are territorial fishing waters.
“At the moment we ‘share’ our waters with Europe; we must take back control of our territorial waters.
“The second is the role of the European Court of so-called Justice. Any future trade deal cannot, must not be decided by the European Court of justice because it will be biased in their favour — we need an independent arbiter.
“The third and most important one is regulatory alignment. If we stay aligned on everything from financial market regulations through to fisheries, we won’t really have left, and our Parliament won’t really be legislating over areas of our national life that affect us so much.
“They are the three massive key areas that we’ve got to sort out — Boris Johnson has promised that’s the direction he’s going to go in — and I’m going to hold him accountable.”
