As one would expect, the leftist editorial clique who run the Jakarta Post has chosen to provide a platform for a pair of un-elected demophobes to rail against the Brexit victory in the UK.
–
That clique in Palmerah runs the JP as if it’s an integral part of the U.S. East Coast left-lib media cabal, churning out the New York Times’ and the Washington Post’s sort of pinko pap.
They’re entitled to pursue their running-dog role but the perennial biases would surely be less unpalatable if they offered equal space to some Brit from Vote Leave or Leave EU as an antidote to Ririn Sefsani and Patrick Ziegenhain’s ranting.
And who are these people anyway?
The JP tells us a little…
==========
Ririn
=================
Ririn Sefsani is program manager for Kemitraan (Partnership for Governance Reform) in Jakarta.
That’s an NGO – and it might have been more upfront if Ririn had mentioned that under Kemitraan’s list of DONORS we see this unpleasant but very telling sight.
====================================================================================
DONORS to Kemitraan.
==========
Well, Ririn’s contribution to that JP anti-Brexit bleat must be appreciated in Brussels, though they no doubt expect no less from those employed in outfits they fund!
And the other co-author?
Patrick Ziegenhain is visiting professor at the Asia-Europe Institute, the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur.

The Pinko Prof
——-
If you check out HIS background – WOW!
He’s been a busy boy, with many teaching posts to his credit.
But here’s the interesting part, filed under –
Memberships in Professional Organizations.
Jean Monnet Association for EU Studies
Oh, THAT LOT!
Remember?
EU guidelines on applying for the chairs do not appear to explicitly dictate what political slant applicants must have, although a handbook describes one of the aims of the Jean Monnet programme as to create “increased interest in understanding and participating in the European Union…”
…an essay written in 2014 by Joseph Weiler, a Jean Monnet chaired professor at New York University law school… stated that “part of our mission as [a] Jean Monnet Professor is to disseminate the values of European integration.”
========
Professor J.H.H. Weiler
———
The EU Commission “think of us openly as intellectual ambassadors of the Union and its values”, he wrote in The Future of EU Studies, a report of the 2014 Jean Monnet conference.
“Most of us become Jean Monnet professors because, in complicated ways, we believe in European integration,” he wrote. “It is not only a professional commitment to many of us, but also a kind of credo; for example, when the European Union is criticised, our instinct is to defend it.”

Maybe the Prof in KL should have opened up on his ideological baggage. It’s certainly something readers of his Jakarta Post joint diatribe ought to be aware of, as they ponder the duo’s blast against patriot movements in Britain and Europe.
In times of globalization, the British voted for a self-imposed isolation.
The British referendum may serve as proof that campaigns of fear and scaremongering can be successful if a majority of voters follow the statements of nationalist and populist groups.
Brits did NOT vote for anything like a ‘self-imposed isolation.’
Few if any Brits want to quit NATO or the Commonwealth. And they haven’t.
Moreover, last night I watched UKIP’s Nigel Farage in Brussels, re-iterating that Brits were more than willing to trade with any other country…
….
……………….
… but most unwilling to be ruled by anyone other than the government they elect for themselves!
Contrary to that fatuous assertion by Ririn and her professorial comrade, Brits took their very clear majority decision…
========
=======
…DESPITE the REMAIN campaign of fear and scar-mongering.
Who wouldn’t rather follow the statements of nationalist and populist groups?
Such groups give priority to their own fellow-citizens, not to a supranational elite.
- The European Union was and is an ANTI-Democratic construct, which hates and fears being subjected to referenda.
- That’s the evil Monnet’s legacy.
We most of us are well aware that Jean Monnet is regarded as one of the founding fathers of the Brussels supranational grand design.
He was a contemptible man, who hated and feared the common people. He was desperate to keep them in the dark about what he and his ilk were up to.
oooooooooo
——–
No sooner had Hitler’s Third Reich version of European Union crashed and burned than the oily French Founder of the European Movement was hard at work on a Fourth Reich, as dismissive of democracy as the Third.

- Jean Monnet
- ———–
- We quote his words again.
| “Europe’s nations should be guided towards the super-state without their people understanding what is happening.
This can be accomplished by successive steps each disguised as having an economic purpose, but which will eventually and irreversibly lead to federation.” |

Jean Monnet, |
…The EU is built on liberal values and pooled sovereignty…This achievement is increasingly threatened..
Achievement?
A monstrosity, more like, built on denial of democracy, as per the French and Dutch referenda in 2005. They rejected the EuroCon, only to have it thrust back upon them via the Lisbon Treaty.
And both peoples have subsequently been refused any further referenda on the issue!
……………
==========
…liberal values…?
People have had enough of liberal crap, soft sentences, no capital punishment, parole for rapists, illegals caught in the act then put up in hotels….
Remember this plush place?
00
Liberalism is a disease!
But it’s just what the doctor ordered, to Europhiliacs like Ririn and The Prof.
SO much more fun than nationalist right-wing populism that denies the equality of humans and demands privileges for members of the ethnic and religious majority group.
Privileges?
Like the ‘right’ illegally to barge your way into somebody else’s homeland, tell the people there that it’s THEIR duty to outlaw free speech, to tolerate barbarous sexism, even claim that pedophile marriage should be dignified with the word ‘culture.’
Bloody primitives!
Some arrogant swine in Switzerland have even told the Swiss to change their flag!

Islamist Flag Demands Make Swiss – and Ross – Cross!
ooooooooooo
The Demophobe Duo condescendingly grant that voters are the sovereign and they are entitled to vote for whatever they wish.
They note, however, the nostalgia among those dreadful older voters, who can actually recall when Brits last ran their own country.
The DD deplores this, and adores how decades of vicious indoctrination has led to so many brain-washed young voters feeling much less national pride.
It’s really quite nauseating how this pair can gloat over Brussels’ grisly triumph, the gradual eradication of honest love for Queen and Country from young hearts.
