1/ Imagine that as soon as the referendum result the EU announced that it was looking forward to the end of free movement of UK citizens in the EU

2/ Imagine if the EU said finally all those retired Brits in the EU27 could go home
3/ Imagine if the EU said finally all those Brits in the EU could stop driving down wages, taking jobs and stop sending benefits back to the UK
4/ Imagine if the EU said it was looking to use UK citizens as “bargaining chips” to get a better trade deal
5/ Imagine if the EU told UK citizens in the EU27 that they could no longer rely on established legal rights and they would have to apply for a new status which they have to pay for for less rights
6/ Imagine if the EU published over 100 no deal notices and said nothing about UK citizens
7/ Imagine if the EU said it wanted to be Global EU while failing to secure the status of UK citizens in the EU
8/ Imagine if the EU told its own citizens in the UK they will have to make their own arrangements post Brexit
9/Imagine if Juncker, Tusk, Merkel or Macron derided UK citizens in the EU as “citizens of nowhere”
10/ Imagine the EU had scuppered a trade the UK was pushing for because it wanted to limit the ability of Indians to come to the EU
11/ Imagine if the EU then announced a Brexit withdrawal agreement that would stop UK citizens being “queue jumpers” over Indian software developers
12/ Imagine if the UK Parliament still had to vote on the withdrawal agreement after all that bashing of UK citizens
13/ Imagine if the EU wanted to publish a commemorative coin with the words “friendship with all nations” to celebrate Brexit
14/ I imagine the UK would say that was a fucking liberty

Funny, before the election I recall lefties muttering the caravan must have been a Trump setup because it made the open borders crowd look so bad. Why would the pro-migrant crowd engineer a crisis that played into Trump's hands? THIS is why. THESE are the "optics" they wanted.


This media manipulation effort was inspired by the success of the "kids in cages" freakout, a 100% Stalinist propaganda drive that required people to forget about Obama putting migrant children in cells. It worked, so now they want pics of Trump "gassing children on the border."

There's a heavy air of Pallywood around the whole thing as well. If the Palestinians can stage huge theatrical performances of victimhood with the willing cooperation of Western media, why shouldn't the migrant caravan organizers expect the same?

It's business as usual for Anarchy, Inc. - the worldwide shredding of national sovereignty to increase the power of transnational organizations and left-wing ideology. Many in the media are true believers. Others just cannot resist the narrative of "change" and "social justice."

The product sold by Anarchy, Inc. is victimhood. It always boils down to the same formula: once the existing order can be painted as oppressors and children as their victims, chaos wins and order loses. Look at the lefties shrieking in unison about "Trump gassing children" today.
