European Union

There’s a lot to be worried about going into 2017 both in terms of financial markets and in terms of geopolitical concerns.

There's so much hate out there. The EU has decided they're going to do something about it, god damn it. All of the damned, fucking, voters running astray this year must have the autocrats going apeshit trying to figure out ways to suppress populism. As such, the EU is demanding that US tech giants comply with their demands to curtail 'hate speech' else be literally forced to do so -- according to law. The laws are designed to protect migrants streaming into the EU, raping and pillaging along the way.

Europeans, you must comply.

Update #1: The Exit polls have begun:

Italy looks set to be next in line to leave the EU as the European project spectacularly collapses following the UK’s Brexit vote in June 2016.  Italians vote on Sunday in a major referendum that will have huge consequences for their future in Europe. Politicians have warned that an Italian exit from the EU will spark a huge banking crisis and will result in the Italian Prime Minister resigning. CNN reports: Italians are being asked to vote on a sweeping series of constitutional reforms championed by Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.

Tomorrow, December 4, Italy is holding a referendum that will determine the fate of the entire European Union.

Donald Trump’s victory—which shocked Europe’s political and media elite—gives the populists backing the “No” side of Italy’s referendum the political rocket fuel they need for a virtually guaranteed win.

That momentum will be all but impossible to reverse. Anti-elite sentiment is rising on both sides of the Atlantic. And I bet the global populist revolution will continue.
