‼️Nigel Farage & TeamTrump

#Brexit2016Elex Thread 2

Nigel Farage has done more than any politician in a generation to yank British politics to the hard, nationalist right.

He is one of the most dangerous demagogues Britain has ever seen.
nytimes.com/2019/05/28/opi…
Today 6/4/19 Farage slips into US ambassador’s house for secret meeting with Donald Trump
thesun.co.uk/news/9222193/n…
📌Today 6/4/19: Farage suggests cutting the British government out of trade negations and said will establish a delegation of industrialists & establish trade talks directly with Trump Administration

#AWFDY? #MobMove

The goal of the perpetrators of Brexit/2016Election is to destabilize Britain, US, EU, NATO, FVEYs to weaken Western Liberal Democracy & benefit the far right Transnational organized Criminals. #Mob

It is all about money and power.

#Chaos
‼️Next step: effect a ‘Trade deal’ deregulate & privatize everything.

‼️Brexit Thread One

‼️Nigel Farage‼️

Farage is the Gordon Gekko of British politics.

It’s striking, to those who care to look, just how much his agenda is about class interest:
nytimes.com/2019/05/28/opi…
📌Farage opposes extended maternity leave, raising the minimum wage and reducing the retirement age — anything that inconveniences his nouveau riche confederates.
nytimes.com/2019/05/28/opi…
📌If Farage had his way, many of his supporters would be working harder, longer, for less money, with less protection. That, indeed, is his Brexit dream: Singapore on the Thames.
nytimes.com/2019/05/28/opi…
‼️Justice is Coming‼️

Mueller’s interest in Farage comes amid questions in the UK about whether Russia attempted to influence the June 2016 vote to leave the European Union, and Brexit’s most vocal political supporters.
theguardian.com/us-news/2018/n…
‼️Nexus Farage & Assange/Wikileaks & Trump

In 3/17 Farage visited J-Ass revealed: a political nexus between WikiLeaks’ ideology, Ukip’s ideology & Trump’s ideology that is not necessarily just an affinity. It is also, potentially, a channel of comms.

‼️CounterIntel Investigation‼️

📌2017: Nigel Farage is a “person of interest” in the US counter-intelligence investigation that is looking into possible collusion between the Kremlin and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
📌”One of the things the intel investigators have been looking at is points of contact and persons involved,”

📌”If you triangulate Russia, WikiLeaks, Assange & Trump associates the person who comes up with the most hits is Nigel Farage
theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
“He’s right in the middle of these relationships.

📌In particular, Farage’s links with Roger Stone, Trump’s long-time political adviser who has admitted being in contact with Guccifer 2.0, a hacker whom US intel agencies believe to be a Kremlin agent
theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
📌Farage called Putin the leader he most admired, in a 2014 interview.

📌Ukip also has history with Assange: Gerard Batten, a Ukip member of the European parliament (MEP), defended the Wikileaks founder in a speech in the European parliament in 2011.
theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
📌Farage has praised Vladimir Putin as a strong leader and has appeared several times on RT, Russia’s English-language propaganda channel.

📌Farage has declined to say how much money RT paid him.

‼️Background:

📌Farage’s relationships with people close to TeamTrump began years earlier.

📌Farage first met Steve Bannon, Trump’s strategist and former campaign chief executive, in the summer of 2012.
theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
📌In 2012, Bannon was interested in rightwing movements in Europe, invited the then Ukip leader to spend a few days in New York and Washington.

apnews.com/8a2cfb983cea44…
📌In Mississippi, Farage was introduced to among others, to the staff of the then senator Jeff Sessions. Speaking of his longtime admiration for Bannon, Farage told the New Yorker last year: “I have got a very, very high regard for that man’s brain.”
irishtimes.com/news/world/us/…

📌The Trump campaign goes into overdrive filling their coffers spectacularly:
#Scot24

‼️Farage & Roger Stone

📌Farage’s ties to Stone are also under scrutiny, it is understood. Stone has frequently publicised his relationship with Assange and described him on Twitter as “my hero”.

theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
Stone publicly predicted the 2016 release of hacked emails from the Clinton campaign that now lie at the heart of the federal inquiry..
theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
📌A few weeks before Farage met Trump in Mississippi (july 2016) Stone admitted having a “mutual friend” who served as an intermediary between himself and Assange.

📌He also mentioned in a separate tweet that he had dinner with Farage.
theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
In late July 2016, the document shows, Stone emailed Corsi asking him to get in touch with Julian Assange. Stone said he wanted Corsi to try to obtain emails the group possessed about Clinton.
theguardian.com/us-news/2018/n…
📌The document says Corsi passed Stone’s request to an “overseas individual”, whom Corsi identified as Ted Malloch, a London-based academic who has said he was also questioned by Mueller.
theguardian.com/us-news/2018/n…
‼️Farage & Ted Malloch

📌Ted Malloch, a London-based academic close to Farage, was allegedly passed a request from a longtime Trump adviser to get advance copies of emails stolen from Trump’s opponents by Russian hackers and later published by WikiLeaks.
amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/n…
‼️Brexit-2016Elex Nexus

📌Malloch, 66, has been under scrutiny by Mueller for months, amid suggestions that he may have served as an important nexus in 2016 between Trump’s White House bid and the campaign to secure Britain’s exit from the EU.
amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/n…
‼️Justice is Coming‼️

FBI questions Ted Malloch, Trump campaign figure and Farage ally

American once touted as possible ambassador to EU tells of being detained at Boston airport and subpoenaed by Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russia inquiry
theguardian.com/us-news/2018/m…
Malloch, who is American, told the BBC soon after Trump’s election win in November 2016: “I’ve had a lot of contact. I’ve been involved with the campaign for over a year and a half.” He was in Washington for Trump’s inauguration.
amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/n…
Malloch was close to Farage and other influential Brexit campaigners. Farage wrote the afterword for a book by Malloch subtitled An Insider’s Look at the Trump Victory.

Malloch said of Farage: “The government should use him as a back channel to Trump.”

amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/n…
‼️Post 2016 Elex

After 2016Elex, Farage was one of the first foreign politicians to meet & celebrate with Trump, and had his picture taken with Trump in front of a golden elevator in Trump Tower just days after the US election.

theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
In November 2016, Trump suggested in a tweet Farage should become the UK’s ambassador to the US.
theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
The pair met again in February 2017, when they had dinner together with Trump’s daughter and adviser, Ivanka, and her husband and White House adviser, Jared Kushner. (& FL Gov Rick Scott)
theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
📌Farage initially denied having had any, Russian contacts, but then acknowledged that he had met Alexander Yakovenko, the Russian ambassador to the UK, in 2013.
theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
Hypocrisy much?

6/27/16: Farage blasted PBO for weighing in on the British referendum to leave the EU, negatively contrasting him with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
"Putin maintained his silence throughout the whole campaign.”🙄🙄🙄
politico.com/story/2016/06/…
Today 6/4/19 Trump urged Britain to forge ahead with plans to quit the EU, dangling the prospect of a “phenomenal” trade deal with the US as the British grapple with a polarizing political crisis & view as naked opportunism.
nytimes.com/2019/06/04/wor…
Make no mistake Farage, Trump, Johnson, Bannon, Mercer & Bolton & more intend to subvert the British & the US governments to establish a ‘Trade Deal’ to line their pockets & crush WLD to benefit Putin/TOC.

#AWFDY? The good news is they will fail epically. Justice is coming.
Send in Nigel! Trump says Farage should JOIN Brexit negotiations
🙄🙄🙄🙄
express.co.uk/news/uk/113510…
📌Will Farage & Boris Johnson brokerage a trade deal with Trump? Chop up & Privatize British HC services & much more? #FarageTrumpTradeDeal

‼️Farage 👉🏼Bannon👉🏼Breitbart 👉🏼Mercer👉🏼Cambridge Analytica 👉🏼FaceBook👉🏼NRA

In 2014, Breitbart News, of which Bannon was executive chair, opened an office in London. A top editor, Raheem Kassam, later went on to work as Farage’s chief of staff.

theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
Bannon is the driving force behind Trump’s “America First” nationalist policies – hosted Farage in the US while he was leading Ukip and introduced him to key US conservatives.

theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
Breitbart strongly supported the leave campaign during the EU referendum in the UK and Bannon is seen as the main conduit between Trump and Farage.

1) hoodwinked libertarians & the #Brexit Company - Thread
I wanted to bring up this exchange not to embarrass the person involved but to highlight a phenomenon I've seen twice this morning, pro Democrats voting for an authoritarian shell, the Brexit "party"
2) twice today I've come across people who complain, rightly or wrongly, about the "undemocratic" EU, who have researched its democratic deficits..

...and yet have happily voted for an authoritarian shell "party" which has no democratic processes at all, because its "temporary"
3) to reiterate, Farage 2.0, the BxP, has no manifesto, no way to join as a member, no way to depose the leader, no way to vote on policy

And this is all *by design*, see 12 mins in, because Farage was tired of the democratic processes in UKIP

Nigel Farage is a racist climate change denier who hides his tax dealings, supports authoritarian leaders across the globe and associates with known conspiracy theorists.

But do take my word for it. THREAD.
So, just to preface this. I won't be talking much about Brexit here. The reason being - it's been done. To death. And to the detriment of debate about how dangerous Farage actually is, and what he actually believes. We'll touch on it, but it ain't front row centre.
It's hard to know where to start with Farage, frankly. After doing the research that I have on him, it's stunning to think that he's the favourite for the European Elections. Sorry, stunning? I meant horrifying. But let's start with the young Farage, and work our way from there.

1/ % of May’s deal passing are rising. DUP/Eurosceptics sounding more conciliatory; big mood change yesterday. But still v long way to go. ERG suspect May will hide behind Commons on A50 extension. Peace moves could be overtaken by events (backbench amendments)
2/ EU’s concern with Brexit is growing; no longer simple occupation of TF50, WPA50, COREPER and Sherpas; many more voices now involved as clock runs down to no-deal. But #Brexit still not biggest concern for EU—yet. So what is?

So here's my last #Brexit thread of the year.

If you saw Theresa May's message today you'll see that all she has is bland platitudes. She's totally disconnected and out of her depth. She doesn't understand Brexit or the sentiment behind it & has no idea what direction to take.
This should come as no surprise. She is attempting to deliver something that cannot possibly satisfy everyone and will deliver little that was promised. She cannot have her Florence deal and at some point she has to come clean. This, though, is entirely the fault of Vote Leave.
Vote Leave hijacked Brexit, telling lies when there was no need. The Tory right have since made it an economic proposition based on a feeble command of the issues making bogus claims which do not stand, drawing red lines that will have to be crossed.
