George Soros Warns "This Is The Worst Possible Time" For Scottish Independence

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Authored by George Soros, originally posted Op-Ed at The FT,

This is the worst possible time for Britain to consider leaving the EU – or for Scotland to break with Britain.

The EU is an unfinished project of European states that have sacrificed part of their sovereignty to form an ever-closer union based on shared values and ideals. Those shared values are under attack on multiple fronts. Russia’s undeclared war against Ukraine is perhaps the most immediate example but it is by no means the only one. Resurgent nationalism and illiberal democracy are on the rise within Europe, at its borders and around the globe.

Since world war two the European powers, along with the US, have been the main supporters of the prevailing international order. Yet, in recent years, overwhelmed by the euro crisis, Europe has turned inward, diminishing its ability to play a forceful role in international affairs.

To make matters worse, the US has done the same, if for different reasons. Their preoccupation with domestic matters has created a vacuum that ambitious regional powers have sought to fill.

The resulting breakdown of international governance has given rise to a plethora of unresolved crises around the globe. The breakdown is most acute in the Middle East. The sudden emergence of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, or Isis, provides the most gruesome example of how far it can go and how much human suffering it can cause.

With the Russian invasion of Ukraine, military conflict has spread to Europe. Two radically different forms of government are competing for ascendancy. The EU stands for principles of liberal democracy, international governance and the rule of law. In Russia, President Vladimir Putin maintains the outward appearance of democracy by exploiting a narrative of ethnic and religious nationalism to generate popular support for his corrupt, authoritarian regime.

As a major power and global financial centre, Britain ought to be centrally involved in crafting a European response to this threat. But like the US and the EU itself, Britain has also been distracted by internal matters. Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron has been persuaded by anti-European zeal – not least within his own party – to put UK membership in the EU to a vote in 2017. A poll on Scottish independence is only days away. Just when Britain should be confronting grave threats to its way of life, it is preoccupied with divorce of one type or another.

Divorce is always messy. A vote for Scottish independence would weaken – in political and economic terms – both a truncated UK and Scotland. An independent Scotland would be financially unstable, especially if threats to renege on debt repayments were carried through.

For Scotland and the rest of the UK to enter into a currency union without a political union, after the euro crisis has demonstrated all the pitfalls, would be a retrograde step that neither side should contemplate. Yet without it, an independent Scotland could not benefit from the low interest rates that a strong pound has brought. These considerations ought to outweigh whatever possible benefits independence might bring.

Yes, there are significant policy differences between Scotland and the rest of the UK. There is a more left-leaning approach to many issues, notably education, north of the border. But Scotland would be better placed to attain its political goals as part of a united Britain that is part of the EU.

The same applies to a British exit from Europe. Policy differences can be mediated. A divorce would weaken the UK. Those who call for separation seem to have forgotten that Britain currently enjoys the best of all possible worlds. Being part of the EU but not part of the euro allows the UK to enjoy the trading benefits without the currency constraints.

Furthermore, Britain has always played a balancing role between hostile blocs. Its absence would greatly diminish the weight of the EU in the world.

The EU has proved to be the best guarantor of peace and human security since the end of the second world war. The importance of preserving the shared values underpinning a whole way of life far outweigh any possible advantages of independence. The difficult times we are facing call for increased unity, not divorce.

Only if Britain fails to resolve its differences with the EU, and if the pro-European Scots (having voted to remain within the UK) thus find themselves unwillingly excluded from Europe in 2017, would there be just cause for Scots to call for a new referendum. If it comes to that, Scotland will be in a different position – one that could legitimise a split.

But to vote for independence from the UK now would be to prematurely surrender Scottish leverage in London, and Britain’s leverage in the world.

so let me get this strait, soros, low interest rates might go away if scots are independent, and that's bad per soros..and outweights any benefits of independence, sorry but that logic fails me. real interest rates might just be the best thing for every country right now.

Ghordius likes his European superstate Gordian Knot just like it is, inextricable, inexplicable, inevitable.   Sorry Gordo, a big black swan wielding a sword will fall upon it, and it will be even more ugly shredded than it is now in its fetid locked up state.   Think Yugoslavia after too much Tito for too long, or the remnants of the Ottoman empire, or "Iraq" after Saddam and the USA leaving, or Libya after ghaddafi, or Egypt after Mubarak, or Europe after Rome.  Or Europe for nearly the entirety of history.   Central planning creates  bubbles of apparent stability and order and progress, that pop catastrophically every time.

Georgi Scwartz aka George Soros is a professional curency speculator and never gave a second thought to all the crashed systems and destroyed lives so long as he made a profit. He funds independence (read anarchist) groups everywhere. Now all of a sudden he's worried about Scottish independence. He probably bet the house on a NO vote so of course independence would put a crimp in his plans. He's wanted by the Russians, wouldn't it be nice if his plane got diverted into Russian airspace. That would shut him up.

Economic contraction leads to friction which leads to further economic contraction which leads to further friction.  Now, as an electrical engineer, this looks alarmingly like a positive feedback loop.  Status Quo is on high alert.

Exactly right, nothing but a bully. He is the strangest quote of desperation I think I ever saw from him:

"an independent Scotland could not benefit from the low interest rates that a strong pound has brought. These considerations ought to outweigh whatever possible benefits independence might bring."

The best counter to not being independent is not having access to debt created out of thin air with low interest attached. Why would the Scotts want freedom when they could have low interest rates ?

Just sad.. He should schedule another visit with satan to get better talking points.

Gee Ghordo, let me try. Is it perhaps because of EU's (as an integral part of NWO) promotion of multiculturalism that today across Europe there are to be found only remains (exclusively in rural Europe) of the once traditional values? Instead you've got ethnic enclaves / ghettos all over Europe...

Or maybe it was the contribution of EU's Bologna process that led to the general decline of culture as witnessed by recent PISA-test results (or any attempt to talk to a EU teenager/millennial)?

Or - EU's propaganda pimping of homosexuality which resulted in faggots openly bragging about being faggots and nowadays it's considered an ordinary part of pop-culture. 

Which one strikes you the most Ghordo? Or are you talking of some other sort of culture?

Fri, 09/12/2014 - 04:55 | 5209822 Ghordius
Ghordius's picture

promotion of multiculturalism does not mean the same everywhere. example: in Spain, it's about Spaniards and Catalans. in the UK, it's about Englishmen and Scots, even though they speak the same language. In Ukraine, it's about Ukrainians and Russians. It's exactly the opposite as in the US, which somehow still tries to have one American Culture. Or are you asking the Catalans to forfeit their language and culture and become Castilian Spaniards?

the Bologna process: read in the link you provided: "The Bologna Process does not aim to harmonise national education systems but rather to provide tools to connect them". Meaning you can now study engineering in Madrid for two years and then in Warsaw for the rest. What is wrong about that?

Do I really have to get into the homosexuality thing? That is a national affair, here. For example the same-sex marriage laws, which are strictly national

All in all, again a misunderstanding of the EU as "something like the US"?

I presume Soros is the worst proponent of UK national integrity, the EU and the eurozone.

A bit like Cameron in Scotland, "Better Together" proponents stand next to him and ask themselves "why doesn't he just shut up and go home?"

 

---- added ----

 

note this tidbit from him "Those who call for separation seem to have forgotten that Britain currently enjoys the best of all possible worlds. Being part of the EU but not part of the euro allows the UK to enjoy the trading benefits without the currency constraints.

Furthermore, Britain has always played a balancing role between hostile blocs. Its absence would greatly diminish the weight of the EU in the world."

Is this guy high on something? If the EU was a car, Britain would be it's brake system, in world affairs. And don't get me started on the whole common market front, or how painful it was that little thing with the metric system, or how Britain-based megabanks are still undermining financial regulation, including the EU Banker Bonus Cap

I still can't believe we even allowed the UK to join. No strike that, Uncle Sam pressured us to do so

I straight away did a text search for Ghordius, to find the rant :-)

Balancing role? BALANCING ROLE? FFS. Causative role more like it. WMDs in Iraq anyone? There was Blair, happy to blast on in and play the "balancing role" while Continental Europe looked at the "evidence" with bemusement. Just one example of many.

Soros here reveals his true colors. It's nowhere on his color chart that a free and sovereign people would choose to be entirely self-governing. Most of the benefits he cites don't weigh up to the disadvantage the UK faces as "part of Europe", which it has never been historically and surely not culturally.

"More Europe" (as Merkel phrases it) means decidedly "more German" and decidedly "less British".

Hi I'm a Jewish Satanist who started my life looting the possessions of fellow Jews in Germany and graduated by looting billions from increasingly impoverished average joes around the globe. My last name was changed to "soar" in esperanto because I pass myself off as an esperanto native speaker because it makes me more intriguing. I look like emperor palpatine's morning bowel movement.

"Religious truth".  lol.  The concept is faith in what is taught via religion is truth.  And by extension, to call it truth means perhaps all religions have something slightly off (or only one is right).  Therefore, most, if not everyone, is wrong.

It's "truth" by definition. For example, the Jehovah's Witnesses call their dogma "The Truth".

It's not much different from certain groups of Eastern Europeans calling themselves "Jews", or the bad guys calling themselves "The Good Guys".

Not getting into the whether or not the comparison is valid or not.  I was just pointing out how the language reads on the surface.  Also, most school kids dont really think outside the box so well.  When they read "compare," most will automatic seek similarities. Basically - it is the illusion of choice again.  More mindfuckery.

I would rather see the language as "compare or contrast", "compare/contrast", or something of that sort.

Good point! Do you know what happens in Ukraine to Ukie soldiers killed in combat, at the field hospitals, outside the normal system, they are harvested for their organs and sold, mostly to Israel, for giant money! They found massive body parts graves already where harvested bodies were dumped. Oragan trade in Kiev is managed by Israelis and most organs go to be put into Israeli's people. Also, Kosovo that the USA now controls via NATO occupation is another stopping point in the Ukraine - Israel organ trade. Kosovo gangs manage much of the shipment process, and also kill anyone who blows the whistle. NATO and the USA both know about it, also they know about the Israel - Kosovo - Ukraine sex slave trafficing. And the massive drug pipeline.

Ukraine

Israel

Kososvo

NATO and the USA

These people operate the devils business, the most evil of all acts. Organs from dead Ukie soldiers, flowing to Israel's hospitals. Certain people travel to Israel for organ transplants, it is a huge world wide business, open to anyone who is entitled to an Israeli passport.

Free Scotland ! ! !

Finally, it appears the downtrodden Scottish will finally have their justly deserved independence from the UK.

The City of London Corporation never really thought it would get this far, and are experiencing conniptions around about now.***

And the Scottish deserve it, after all. Just look at what they have bestowed upon mankind.

Haggis which is some kind of godawful food combination of those animal intestines usually avoided by sane people.

Then there's that freaky skirt that borderline guys sometimes wear, I believe it is called a kilt.

And the world of sports? Oh what a major contribution to the dissolution of civilization those Scots have made: golf, fer crissakes!

Yup, many people actually believe that golf is a sport. Go figure?

On second thought, maybe the world isn't quite ready for Scottish independence, after all?

***(The Brits made a huge mistake in not contracting the Scottish independence vote out to Accenture, which is always involved in questionable votes in the past: Bildt in Sweden, Sarkozy's first presidential election in France, Berlusconi's elections, the Ohio presidential election, etc., etc.)
