Brexit – Karma of the Doings of the 1%

I’m sorry, but…..
I sympathize, but….
Karma is a bitch, bitches.

Before I go on a rampage with my rant, please note that it is not targeted at you, the commoners, the 99%. You are as much a victim as we are, the former colonies of the 1% of your ancestors and current colonies to the City of London Corporation, a one square mile state within a state that run by bankers and untouchables with a population of only 8,000 (0.00015% of the entire population of England). This to-make-you-feel-guilty rant is for the 1% and the 8000 people in the One Square Mile.

Once upon a time, you (the 1%) were the greatest. You colonized half the world over. Your colonization was to exploit their natural resources (oil, gold, tin, rubber, wood, cotton, ivory etc), human resources (cheap labourers & slaves) and to spread Christianity.

You plunder their wealth to enrich your people till you became the most powerful, the richest nation on earth. You enslaved them. You lived off the sweat, blood and tears of your colonies. You promised them of beautiful life after death with Christianity (no different to Muslims there).

You opened vast tea farms in India and Sri Lanka (Ceylon), coffee plantations in Kenya & Zimbabwe, cocoa plantations in Ghana (Ashanti), oil palms and rubber estates in Malaysia (Malaya), sugar cane plantations in Barbados and Jamaica in the West Indies plus tobacco fields in Virginia & Maryland in the USA.

To work and cultivate these plantations, you transplanted people from mostly Western African countries as slaves for your tobacco fields in Virginia, Maryland & sugar cane plantations in the West Indies in the 17th century. You brought the Tamils of India as slaves into your rubber estates in Malaya in the late 19th century. Until today, many of the decendants of the slaves in the USA are still living in poverty in the deep south, the Bible Belt spanning from Alabama to North Carolina.

Many of the decendants of the slaves from India in rubber estates in Malaysia are still living in poverty. Poverty and illiteracy rates among them are the highest in Malaysia. Some are even stateless because of the isolation of estate living that make them clueless of the importance of registering the birth of their children.

You burrowed their lands for oil, gold, tin or anything that you could get your hands of under the dirt of these colonial lands. You introduced the law of the Bible that until today, many of your former colonies still hold on to. Homosexuals in many of Commonwealth (laughable) member countries suffer marginalization, persecution and prosecution as a result of your Biblical laws enacted in your former colonies.

However, credit goes to you for “modernizing” these colonies. Some of you even get mentioned in our history books, such as Sirs (yes sir) Francis Light and Stanford Raffles for “founding” and “modernizing” Pulau Pinang and Singapura respectively, to make it sound as if these “sirs” were the first humans to find and colonize the islands. You even Anglicised the names from Pulau Pinang to Penang, Singapura to Singapore, while Jabal Tareq was changed to Gibraltar and Islas Melvinas to the Falklands.

You built roads, railway lines, sea ports and airports in those countries so you could transport all the commodities from under and on the ground of your colonies’ lands to your great country and sell them. The infrastructures were also to transport, ship, transplant and sell people snatched from their homes in Africa to their new white masters across the Atlantic. They were auctioned off in Virginia, Maryland and West Indies as if they were cows or horses. That was how low you treated the humans of Africa.

When all has almost been harvested or plundered out from your colonized lands and nothing much left, the cost of keeping the colonies outweighed the revenue made out of them. The natives in these colonies also started to realize that their blood, sweat and their wealth had been used to enrich you, to prosper your people back home and to develop Great Britain. Foreseeing more troubles ahead instead of prosperity had you continued clinging on to your colonies, you “granted” them independence. I read somewhere you stole around US$45 trillion from India before you “gifted” them independence. And that was from India alone! Out of 200 countries, only 22 countries you did not colonize. One can only imagine how much wealth you stole from all of them, your former colonies.

The partitioning of India and Pakistan in 1947 which was supposed to take four years, hastily done in four months by your incompetent, clueless officer as independence “gift” to the South Asian nations. The immediate result of the partioning the Hindu/Sikh India and Muslim Pakistan was the death of two million South Asians. Till this day the people of these two countries hate each other. Kashmir today looks more and more likely on its way to perdition since partition, just the way Palestine did.

Talking about Palestine, remember the day you granted them “independence” in 1948? You just handed it over to a group of other Europeans so they could continue the white colonialism legacy in the Middle East. Palestine was renamed Israel by the new colonial power. What so ironic is that, the then-Ashkenazis, now-Israelis who sufferred the worst kind of crimes against humanity in Europe are committing almost the same crimes commited by the Nazis against them towards the natives of Palestine. Since the handover of Palestine to the Ashkenazis in 1948, about 50,000 Palestinians have been killed so far. Around 7 million more are refugees worldwide. And guess what, the Israelis have, for a few years now, been training India on how to handle Kashmir, just the way they have been handling Palestine since 1948.

You know what, every time there was a conflict somewhere, we used to whisper, “Has the English been there?” Conflicts in Palestine and Kashmir made us question it quietly. But I’m not whispering anymore. I’m telling you right to your face that “You had been to Palestine and Kashmir.” And look at what’s happening to the people in these two regions; colonized, denied their basic human rights, treated like the Ashkenazis by the Nazis during World War II. Oh before I forget, were you in Hong Kong from 1860 until 1997? Briefly, you ceded your East and South East Asian colonies to Japan in the World War II. Briefly. Then you came back for more plundering.

Talking about world wars, most of us never went to war, never wanted to be in the wars and never took part in the wars. Those of us that participated were your mercenaries. We were forced by you to kill or be killed in your dirty wars. You called them world wars as if the whole world was at war whereas only you and your European neighbours were warring with each other. The Japanese were just trying to “free” us from being your slaves in early 1940’s. That’s for another story.

I guess it must have been hard to stomach, that losing one colony after another until no more than Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and a few small island nations left under your rule, your surpremacy was waning. Another huge blow was when English Pound, used as the reserve currency throughout the 19th and half of the 20th century was ousted by United State of American Dollar in 1945. Not only that, the United Kingdom of Great Britain was relegated to being the sidekick of the USA, the new super power. And to rub salt to your injury, Uncle Sam was once your former colony! From then on, you were no more than a Robin to a Batman, ever ready to please your more domineering so-called good friend.

In the era of dirty “War On Terror” at the turn of the 21st century, you had proven to your good friend how loyal you were. You didn’t think twice when USA asked you to join them to bomb the Iraqis in 2003 under the guise of freeing the people of Iraq from their dictator leader Saddam Hussein and “disarming” Iraq of weapons of mass destruction. You knew it was all lies but you went along because hey, that’s what good buddies are for. Millions of Iraqi civilians were killed by you and your Uncle Sam. Until today your Tony Blair defends his and his best pal, George W. Bush’s indefensible act of terror on the people of Iraq as a “moral obligation”.

You were so eager to please your friend in attacking Libya and killing Gaddafi in 2011. You had no reason at all but to prove your loyalty to your pals across the Atlantic. Look at what happened to Iraq. And Libya. Look at what’s happening to Syria and its people. It’s your ego and eagerness to prove your worth to your new master. In doing so, you and your master created a monster called ISIS that terrorized Iraq & Syria.

Oh dear, you are no longer the master but your master’s favourite puppy. Is Iran your next dirty job for your master or masters? Is Israel your master too?

Notorious for being cunning, after losing your empire and military power, you meticulously designed a very evil plan called “Second Empire” by continuing colonizing them, financially. This second phase of imperialism was birthed in the City of London; the One Square Mile. The real rulers of Britain, the rich and powerful in the City of London, created a web of secrecy jurisdiction to obtain wealth from the entire world and hide it in Britain’s offshore “financial centres” in all your small island territories and about 250 banks in the City of London.

“Tax Havens” of The Caymans and British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean, Bermuda in the Atlantic, Guernsey, Jersey & Channel Islands, Isle of Man and Gibraltar in Europe are your proxies for the Second Empire, plus banks within the One Square Mile. The One Square Milers encouraged corrupt politicians, dishonest & tax-evading businesspeople plus criminals from all over the world to launder and park their dirty money in your so-called Tax Havens. Trillions of dollars from your “independent” former colonies plus other countries is in these Tax Havens and banks in the City of London. And it keeps coming in until today. It is believed that your “offshore financial” centres and City of London banks store more than half of all the world’s wealth that kept offshores! So if anybody wonders why none of those listed in the Panama Papers is charged for money laundry or tax evasion, we now know why.

You just could not accept that you were no longer the power surpremo. So the Second Empire was your new empire. As they say, once a criminal, your children and children of their children would be criminals too. It’s in your DNA. Your harbouring of the dirty money from other countries is hindering economic growth and development in these countries. That is your main objective. While you are using dirty money credited by corrupt politicians, tax evaders and criminals from mostly poorer countries, you are once again asserting your colonial power on these poor, “independent” nations.

But this time, during this Second Empire era, you have been too greedy. You forgot about the 99 percent in your country. You only enrich yourselves, your families and cronies – the 1% plus the One Square Milers. The 99% started to notice that. Ouch.

As I said earlier Karma is a Bitch. She’s invisible but she’s there, following you around like a ghoul. If she does not bite your ass straight away, she will wait for the right time later. If she does not bite you, she will attack your children or children of your children and their children.

Fast forward to 1980’s. The ghoul bitch – the karma started to show her presence. The wealth gap between the 1% + the One Square Milers with the 99% grew bigger and bigger. The 99% started to feel the hardship of high cost of living. The prices on daily needs, utilities, rentals, houses and transportation went up faster than what they made from their nine to five job. The wealth was not evenly distributed. Bigger and bigger chunk went to the 1% + The One Square Milers. The 99% felt cheated, used and abused by the 1%.

Thatcherism in the 80’s and 90’s fed and fattened the Bitch. Yes the Maggie Thatcher era of privatization, favouring big corporations and businesspeople instead of men and women on the street – the 99%, saw the number of strikes becoming more and more frequent. People were angry at the establishment.

Politicians were quick to adopt populism politics to take advantage on the restlessness of the 99%. Right wing and fascist political parties gained more attention by the masses. The taglines used by xenophobes such as “Immigrants are stealing our jobs”, “The Muslims are taking over this country”, were showing results. The masses even bought the “We are being ruled by Germany and France” tagline after a few years in the European Union.

The fact is, the immigrants just wanted to have a slice of the wealth being stolen from them by your imperialist ancestors and by the current One Square Milers.

Many immigrants were decendents of those who were auctioned off as slaves in the West Indies in the 17th century and wanted to live off of the blood, sweat and tears of their forefathers plus the proceeds from the “sales” of their ancestors.

The immigrants were just taking up jobs that the locals refused to do, the 3D’s – dirty, difficult and dangerous. The immigrants were just filling up the positions that many of your people were not qualified to do. With only high school GCE O Level certificate, your people would not qualify to perform surgery on a patient with brain tumor the size of a tennis ball.

Many of the immigrants are not immigrants but refugees as a result of your government’s love for pleasing Uncle Sam in his obsession and addiction to bombing people in the Middle East, either to clear the old stockpile of arsenals or to test the newly manufactured weapons.

Admit that you don’t like being dictated by other European countries, especially not by Germany and France. You never lost a war with either of them. Your past glories and victories made you stuck in the past. Your right wing, nationalistic politicians seized the opportunity to mobilize the poor, less educated, ill-informed and Daily Mail readers to exit “German/French-controlled” EU. You named the movement as Brexit. You are too superior a nation to be under them, aren’t you? Your Brexit won.

Brexit is karma, bitches. It brought down two prime ministers already. The Brex-shit mess proved to be too messy for them. They resigned without acheiving anything, let alone doing good for the people. Cameron will always be rembered as the prime minister that gambled with UK’s future by recommending a referendum on Brexit. He was too cocky and thought that Remainers (those who wanted to stay, work, live and cooperate with other Europeans) would win. Well his gamble smacked him on his face. He resigned, or rather ran away from the mess that he was gambling on.

That left his number two, another cocky and overconfident but a very bad dancer, Theresa May to mop and clean the shit he left behind.

“Brexit means Brexit,” Ms. May cockily told the Brits after she took office. I guess she found out soon enough that Brexit meant BREXSHIT. The shit was enormous, hit a giant oscilating fan that spread all over the country. For four years at No. 10 Downing Street, all she did was mopping and mopping. Either all the mops, or she were worn out or both, she took a runner, after four years of achieving nothing. I wonder what she will be remembered for as the prime minister. I can only imagine, ha di ha….

The new prime minister looks like to walk down the same path as his two predecessors. Path to resignation prematurely. Or defeated by the son of Iranian immigrants in the next election. Oh Boris. You are such an arrogant Twiddle Dumb. Heigh ho…

My sympathy and empathy go to you, the 99%. It’s not your fault that England is in shit. I don’t know how deep. It’s the fault of the 1% from hundreds of years back and continues until this day.

It’s the karma of their doings. What a bitch…..
