I'll go out on a limb here and predict that, regardless of the result in today's "in or out" referendum, Britain will remain in the EU. In fact, I want to make the case that the British regime never had any intention of detaching itself from the EU, and that this 'Brexit' campaign is a ruse to give Germany and other continental powers 'something to think about' while retaining a controlling interest in the EU's direction on behalf of joint Anglo-American interests.
After spending some two decades garnering support for holding this referendum, the British elite, from the moment they set a date for it, have overwhelmingly come out in favor of Britain remaining in the EU. Big business and most of the media, think-tanks, all political parties and most members of government are all encouraging voters to say 'remain'.
This, in itself, is illogical. The only apparent reason for developing a political movement towards some specific political goal is to reach that political goal, not deviate from it at the very last moment. Can you imagine the Scottish Nationalist Party, having spent decades lobbying for an independence referendum, achieving that first major step and then advising Scots to vote to remain in the UK?
And so, I suggest, we must look beyond the domestic scene to understand why this charade is playing out. British foreign policy, much like US foreign policy, is indistinguishable from domestic policy, at least from the point of view of their elites, who instinctively equate 'the national interest' with their own personal interests, most of which lie abroad in the framework of an increasingly integrated Western corporate global order.
The UK regime
The British regime's invasions/bombings of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Yemen are well known. But those theaters of operations are but the continuation of the British empire, on which the Sun has still not set, nor the blood dried. British military, corporate and financial global interests, while often subsumed within wider Western interests, remain as vastly disproportionate today (to the UK's small geographical size) as British colonies were under overt Empire
As regards their relationship with other countries in Europe, the British establishment has repeatedly (and often successfully) argued for 'opting out' of the EU laws and institutions it co-wrote and co-created, specifically where they apply to workers' rights and human rights. They may not want to be 'in socialist Europe', but they damn well won't let Europe be 'taken over' by Germany, France or the dominant power alliance du jour.Sabotaging, subverting, or otherwise retarding European integration - unless the process takes place on terms amenable to British and American dreams of world domination - is the name of the game.

Leeching money from people by the numerological 6 in the pricing while claiming it to be truth but at the same time demanding people to pay for it to even find out.... That is indeed Satanic.
The end is nigh. Soon my dear fellow, you shall have to WORK for your money.
