Tom Luongo's Retrospective On QE2

Having savaged Liz Truss (Rider on the Storm) on her accession—I had to use that word, because so many people, bemusingly, write “ascension”—to the First Ministry of the UK, Tom Luongo offers a very interesting retrospective on the role that QE2 has played in recent years. Especially with regard to Brexit. The monarch is supposed to pretty much butt out of affairs of state, but at a crucial moment QE2 lent her support to Brexit.

The Queen is Dead, But is the UK?

Here’s the short version of a fairly lengthy but highly readable article.

QE2 “hated commies.” When Luongo uses that word he also means the current Leftist cabal that seeks to rule the globe.

As such, she supported Brexit, and supported easing Terry Mae out and easing Bojo in. For whatever else you may say about Bozo, he did seek to implement Brexit. Motives aside, Luongo is for that. The enemy of my enemy is my friend—at least temporarily—about sums it up.

Again, no matter what you may think and/or say about Truss, she is Bojo’s handpicked successor. The importance of this is that, in Parliament, Truss has led the fight to push Brexit through to full implementation through the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill. Please don’t ask me to explain the bill or the Northern Ireland Protocol itself. Suffice it to say the NIP stands in the way of true Brexit. Luongo places this in the context of the Davos war against Trump and all his works. Truss has always been, ideologically, a free trader. She has moved quickly to free up energy development in the UK, which is a poke in the eye to Davos and the Zhou regime. Can she follow through on the NIP?

Luongo sketches out how this has played over time:

So, when Trump “lost” the stage was set to off Johnson and reverse Brexit.  Davos made their move against Johnson this summer because, as Alex Krainer reminded me in an email the other day, the British Cabinet actually runs the country, not Parliament.  

This was why Marc Sedwill being both Cabinet Secretary and Head of the Civil Service under Theresa May was so dangerous.  He was really Prime Minister, directing Brexit negotiations doing Davos’ bidding.

A sort of pro-Europe Humphrey Appleby.

It’s also why Johnson firing him as nearly the first thing he did when taking power was the definitive statement of his position on Brexit, the Queen and the UK as a sovereign nation.

Sedwill’s power and betrayal of the UK showed in the Brexit deal May negotiated and left for Johnson to clean up.  One of the things she left behind was the Northern Ireland Protocol.

It was Elizabeth that helped along the destruction of May and the ascension [sic] of Johnson.  None of this excuses their activities in Ukraine, of course, but that’s a different matter.

Davos wanted Johnsoone bn gecause they wanted Brexit undermined.  The Northern Ireland protocol is the key to this.  There is a provision in the Brexit agreement where the NI protocol is to expire in a couple of weeks. There was a two-year time limit on it and if UK didn’t think the EU were acting in good faith (or whatever) they could cancel it and the UK would now be in charge of the border crossings. 

Conversely, if the NI protocol remains in place, the EU will still set trade policy for the UK.  Sunak was supposed to win and make sure the UK negotiated down.

Liz Truss has been at the forefront of pushing the legislation, now in the House of Lords, that would invoke that Article within the Brexit agreement and end the tussle over Northern Ireland.

So, this is the issue on which Brexit hangs.  It’s why Davos couldn’t wait for Liz to die before removing Johnson and creating a fight within the Tories for control over the party.  

It’s why Johnson kept saying they would have to remove him from office bodily.  In the end BoJo may have been a clown but it looks like he was, on balance, a patriot.

So, that’s the leadup, but before that Luongo pays moving tribute to QE2, as well as connecting her role to the big picture of our current crisis:

Sadly, so much of what we hoped for died when Davos stole the 2020 election and destroyed the Trump/Johnson/Elizabeth axis of power. Who do you think was really the target of COVID?

Us? The plebes? No. It was The Fed, Trump and the Queen. Davos got two of three. It ain’t bad, as the song goes, but without all three they can’t win.

That’s the most important part of Elizabeth’s story — as Queen she backed Brexit. Now, say what you want about what Brexit unleashed, the multiple power vacuums it created, and the confusion of who has sought to profit from it, in the end Brexit was an immense, world-shaking statement of popular sovereignty.

On this issue alone Queen Elizabeth II put paid Hans Hoppe’s trenchant analysis from 20 years ago in his book, Democracy, the God that Failed, that as bad as it is, even monarchy is a superior form of government than democracy because at least the monarch has a property right in their people.

Whereas in democracy, it’s just one big tragedy of the commons and all the corruption, graft, sloth and banality that implies. The crown at least purports to stand for something. And by backing Brexit Elizabeth stood for her people over those jackals in Parliament, the House of Lords and the Civil Service working so hard to tear them down.

Trump understood that Elizabeth was not Davos and Brexit the chance to really change the dynamic between not only the US and the UK but also between those two and Russia/China.

There was an opportunity for a negotiated settlement with them on behalf of the Global South and avoid the crisis we are in right now.

Elizabeth understood this as well, but was mostly powerless to stop the train because the UK government and its entrenched aristocracy is a cesspit.

And so we see more of the all out war on the part of the DC Establishment to Get Trump. By hook or by crook. Can the Fed intervene? Will the courts step up? Stay tuned.
