UKIP leader Nigel Farage has declared a victory for Brexit. The pound meanwhile has been send tumbling to its lowest level since 1985.

Farage seemed to concede defeat earlier in the night when a 'Remain' win looked likely. He has now backtracked in a speech in the early hours of Friday morning, declaring Thursday's referendum "a victory for ordinary people, a victory for decent people."

His comments come as the 'Leave' vote has a 52 percent to 48 percent advantage over the 'Remain' vote.

"We have fought against the multinationals, against the big merchant banks, against big politics, against lies, corruption and deceit and today honesty and decency and belief in a nation I think now is going to win," Farage said.

"We will have done it without having to fight, without a single bullet having been fired."

Farage also branded the EU a "failed project" and said Thursday's vote would "go down in our history as our independence day."

Farage has also called on David Cameron to resign as Prime Minister "immediately" in light of a likely win for the 'Leave' campaign.

Not long after Farage's speech, as votes continue to be counted and 'Leave' maintains its 4 percent advantage over 'Remain,' UK broadcasters BBC, Sky and ITV have all forecast a Brexit.

The UK has not yet left

The headline in a local Danish paper pointed out the vote is interpreted as a chock for the US, since it shows they are loosing political influence in Europe, because Obama did not want the vote to go this way. In any case, the UK has not yet left! The "democratic" way such situations in the past have been handled in the EU is to give the country some medicine of the financial order and politely ask the people again. However in this case the vote also inspires people in other EU countries, the collection of signatures for voting about the question have begun. At the end of the 3rd Reich, if one may make such a comparison, as the tide began to turn for Hitler's armies, people who had felt uneasy, but complied, began to dare to speak up and to act up. At the end it was a total chaos with many joining the choir of resistance because they sensed the direction of the wind had changed.

Wow, COMEX gold spiked past a $100 over the low of the session and has now settled in the upper middle range up $58 (4.63%). I'm sure the masters of the financial universe will have it below $1300 to near the low by the time the sun shines in NY.

They already knocked down the gold price before 10 a.m. here in Europe. But that is what they always do or so I understand.

Forgot to mention this: it was about 1,200 euros an ounce at 8 a.m. (British time)

Accountability matters.

Despite the fear campaign, Brits have voted to restore full accountability of all beaucreaucrats that make decisions that affect their future rather than to assign their democratic rights to a bunch of offshore experts.
This decision opens up so many opportunities for Britain to reinvent itself as a strong democratic sovereign entity with a simplified taxation structure and streamlined and freer international trade procedures. I see the potential for Britain to become a centralised portal for world trade.

"I see the potential for Britain to become a centralised portal for world trade."

But "experts" now think London will move to Paris, and Paris will become the new trade portal.

Whatever outcome, the same end

I don't know what TPTB planed or plans, but as long as they are at power, the outcome will always be the same. It is really easy to get stupid people on board (example among many other ISIS).

We know a financial crisis is heading, while TPTB might not want it, they will use it to bring on cashless society. Brexit is a good "excuse" for the coming financial crisis, and the financial crisis is a good "excuse" for cashless society, cashless society is the best tool for the NWO.

With Brexit, other EU countries will have more courage for their own exit, and this will cause a trouble for the NWO, which need TTIP and can only be achieved through EU (Brussels). In order to stop the exists, EU will have to show the "consequences", so it will be important to accelerate the financial crisis, but at the same time, EU countries might speak-up and turn to Russia, which is a threat to NATO. Thus TPTB will use more fear mongering, and kill more people in false flag events. Not to mention, mother earth equivalently increase natural disasters. Of course I am speculating, but the road will get more and more bumpy.
