France Plunged Into Chaos As Macrons Third Government Inside A Year Collapses Amid Multple Crises

 The 'gilet jaune' protests brought French cities to a standstill in 2021

France's National Assembly voted to collapse the government on Monday, ousting François Bayrou as prime minister by 364 votes to 194 in a confidence motion. President Emmanuel Macron has ignored calls for him to resign and  will not dissolve the assembly and call an election to solve  France’s political crisis.. Instead it was announced he will appoint a new prime minister “in the next few days.”

Mr Bayrou is expected to hand in his resignation on Tuesday, leaving Mr Macron scrambling to find the seventh prime minister of his presidency.The President's office said he “takes note” of the result and would appoint Mr Bayrou’s replacement “in the next few days”.

The move suggests the French president will continue to ignore growing calls to dissolve parliament, resign, and call a general election to vote in a new government. Instead he will try to appoint a consensus figure to pass a budget in the deeply divided national assembly according to most French political commentators.

However, there are serious doubts over whether any nominee will be able to pull together a working coalition.

The Socialists, who only command 66 seats in parliament, have offered to run the government at the risk of losing the support of the conservative Republicans.

Marine Le Pen, whose National Rally is the biggest single opposition party, urged Mr Macron to call fresh snap legislative elections to break the political deadlock on Monday evening, calling them “not an option but an obligation”.

But what has brought France to this dire state of affairs? The Cost of Living? Immigration? The Economy? Unemployment?

France has been facing economic meltdown for some time unless and the main reason Macron appointed Bayrou was due to belief that he could pull together enough support to pass an austerity budget and bring under control Eurozone’s worst deficit, set for 5.4 per cent of GDP this year, by Oct 15. This parlous state is a humiliating blow for a man once dubbed “the Mozart of finance”.

Meanwhile, revolt is brewing via a viral movement called “Bloquons Tout” (“Let’s Block Everything”) that aims to shut down France on Sept 10. A leaked Paris police note has warned of potential “violent actions, sabotage and operations against strategic sectors of the economy” in what instigators hope could kick off a fresh insurrection in the style of the “gilet jaune” (“yellow vest”) protests – this time against planned budget cuts.

Protesters have been discussing blocking train stations, picketing oil refineries and walking out of supermarkets without paying. “It’s a horizontal movement with no leader – everyone does what they want,” said an intelligence source, describing the anger as widespread with “meetings everywhere – in villages as well as big cities”.

“The images will not be pretty,” said one police official.

 Britain is close to a similar state at the moment with civil unrest over immigration, concerns about the effect on the economy of a burgeoning welfare bill, weak, vacillating leadership, ideologically dogmatic policies like net zero damaging the economy, and now a political scandal which threatens to plunge the governing party into disarray. Germany has a lame duck government with small, extremist parties threatening to collapse the ruling coalition in order to push through policies that are deeply unpopular. Netherlands, Belgium and Spain are ruled by dysfunctional coalitions brokered by the EU in order to keep Eurosceptic, nationalist, right-of-centre parties out of power in definance of the popular vote.  

Every western country is becoming ungovernable because the political class everywhere has been feigning blindness when the political shift to the right is mentioned and  nationalism in domestic politics, denying the threat of Islamism, and buying their populations off with totally unsustainable benefits. This is a vicious circle because the benefits make people not want to work and therefore more Islamists are required to enter each country.  

Ironically, throughout Europe everybody, except for the people who sit in government, knows the status quo is unsustainable and that we have to change but no one appears to be willing to accept change when it affects them. As a  civilisation, we are deluded and selfish. Put very simply, we need growth to pay for our borrowing; to achieve growth we have to ease the burden of taxation; to be able to lessen the tax burden we have to pare back state spending in all areas except defence and education. We therefore have to cut the welfare budget and and reform pensions. There is no other real and effective policy.

The Elites' Arrogance Blinds Them To The Significance Of Europes Political Shift

 

English-language European news outlets, and state funded news channels such as France 24, Deutsche Welle, Politico Europe, along with progressive left operations center-left publications like Le Monde and The Guardian, cater to an urban, university-educated, globally minded audience and thus reflect a narrow slice of society, underrepresenting conservative and rural perspectives.

As a result, English-speaking audiences relying on European media’s English editions get an incomplete picture, skewed toward liberal narratives and missing the conservative and nationalist currents driving major shifts in the political landscape.

The Brothers of Italy 2022 election victory, saw centre - right Giorgia Meloni labeled “neo-fascist” because of her party’s post-fascist roots, was misread by most English language news outlets. Yet her platform—lower taxes, stronger borders, and national pride—reflected frustration with their government being subordinate to the unelected technocrats of the EU Commisson and Brussels’ fiscal rules. Meloni  formed a coalition with Matteo Salvini’s League and Forza Italia, securing a parliamentary majority with 44 percent of the vote, appealing to millions disillusioned by years of instability, not extremism. Her government’s three-year record (2022 to 2025) has focused on economic recovery.

In Germany, AfD’s rise to more than 20 percent in state elections and a mayoral win in 2025 reflect discontent with soaring energy prices post-nuclear shutdown and immigration strains. Yet it’s framed as a dangerous anomaly, ignoring its roots in rural and eastern voter bases.

The Netherlands government’s implementation of the EU 2019 nitrogen reduction plan, mandating farm buyouts, sparked tractor blockades by farmers facing existential threats to generational livelihoods. The Farmer-Citizen Movement, formed in response, became the largest party in the Dutch Senate by 2023, a democratic revolt misread as a sideshow.

And in the UK a deeply flawed and anachronistic electoral system saw the Eurosceptic Reform Party get 14% of votes cast but les than 1% of the seats in parliament a result which, combined with other unaddressed problems such as uncontrolled immigration, has brought the nation to the brink of civil unrest. 

And then there are the external influences who seek to gair wealth and influence by stirring things up even more. 

Marxist billionaire psychopath George Soros desperately wants a one world government using the EU as the blueprint. He also desperately wants Russia's and Ukraine's assets trying once before with wall street back in the 90s bringing Putin to power. This world war about to accelerate. Ukraine missed June's payment and both the UK and EU have guaranteed billions in loans that went to Zelensky from western banks. To say Europe is knee deep in shit is a literal truth, (farmers in France, Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Belgium and Germany have at different points point blocked roads or acces to public buildings by dumping manure everywhere). 

 As the EU loses control  Christine Lagarde at the European Central Bank (ECB) is  about to make things worse with the CBDC euro which will simply lock out or society all who fail to follow the narrative, abandon cash and entrust all their financial activity to their smartphone. Most EU countries are preparing for conscription to an EU army to prepare for war with Russia, and this will be one method to assure compliance. As the western politicians thru the MSM rant about democracy, sovereignty and free speech, they actually do the exact opposite but it sure does sound good like "Peace thru war".

"You will own nothing and be happy" is actually a goal, not a joke. The EU's long record of interfering in elections ,removing candidates (or trying to actually assassinate one,) and of refusing to recognise election results  which favour parties of the right, is proving this agenda of Marxism and also displaying the Union's Nazi roots.. Wait until Ursula takes "excess" savings from  everyone's bank account using as cover to fund the war against Russia  and prop up the EU. 

NATO wants what is left of pensions. This theft is no problem since they had no problem stealing Russian reserves and their assets across Europe and in fact they have a history of this called colonialism just as the US.  

 Western MSM is completely controlled by a handful of corporations and they are pushing an agenda. Soros and Gates along with the WEF have a death grip on Europe and as Soros once ranted that both Putin and Xi are a threat to democracy while he pushes a totalitarian Marxist agenda using climate and CO2 to destroy living standards as the goal for the entire population is communism with elites at the top.

German Economy In Intensive Care Due To Net Zero Disease

 

A group of German business leaders have written an open letter to Chancellor Friedrich Merz demanding a roll-back of decarbonisation policies before the damage to Germany's economy becomes irreversible. This is a machine translation of the text. 

Federal Chancellery
Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz
Willy-Brandt-Straße 1
10557 Berlin

03.07.2025

It’s Five Past Twelve – Therefore, Industrial Jobs NOW!

Dear Federal Chancellor,

We are in the worst economic crisis since World War II. Last year alone, at least 100,000 industrial jobs were cut without replacement. The political promises of the previous government about a "green economic miracle" are nothing but empty words. The reality is that never before have so many good jobs been at risk as they are today.

In Germany alone, far more than a million people work in energy-intensive industries, most of them in sectors represented by IGBCE and IG Metall. Therefore, we need an Industry and Economic Agenda 2030 NOW!

We need innovations and investments for good jobs and livable regions. We don’t want subsidies handed out arbitrarily, but reasonable framework conditions so that good jobs and value creation in Germany have a future again.

As true as the complaints about paralyzing bureaucracy and delayed digitization are, it is equally true that German energy policy has become one of the most dangerous risks for business and location.

If the energy transition is an operation on the open heart of our economy, as is sometimes said, then it has so far been thoroughly botched. We have to acknowledge: the patient is at risk of dying on the operating table.

For 35 years, PV and wind have been legally privileged and subsidized. However, they still do not contribute significantly more to security of supply than they did three decades ago. Instead, they are causing grid costs in the triple-digit billion range.

The phase-out of nuclear energy and coal has made Germany dependent on unreliable PV and wind power and expensive gas imports. We are paying the price, with the highest electricity prices in Europe. Never before has our electricity supply been so expensive and insecure.

These high electricity prices are not only socially unjust, but they now also threaten our economy, our prosperity, and our social peace.

We demand:

➢ Electricity prices must become internationally competitive again for the economy, especially for the industry. We need an industrial electricity price of 5 ct/kWh. This industrial electricity price must not be further increased by political CO2 costs or overloaded with other requirements.
➢ Permanent full exemption from transmission charges for energy-intensive production, continuation of relief under §19.2 StromNEV, and free connection to the electricity infrastructure with the required capacity.
➢ No further burdens on the self-supply of electricity in the industry. Industrial electricity networks and CHP self-supply are important economic assets and location factors that must be strengthened in international competition.
➢ Instead of further preliminary efforts by Germany and Europe in climate protection, we expect the establishment of a clear linkage: All relevant countries worldwide must commit to equal efforts.
➢ Protection of the industry from the special burdens of the EU ETS through an effective CBAM that includes exports, excludes circumvention, and expands the product scope according to the actual competitive situation.
➢ Upgrading and modernization of foreign trade protection through a fundamental revision of the existing anti-dumping and anti-subsidy instruments of the EU, especially with regard to China.
➢ Fundamental revision of the German hydrogen strategy with the goal of pragmatic and realistic requirements for technology and objectives. For the realistic case that European and international "green lead markets" cannot be implemented promptly, competitive alternatives to H2 must be enabled.
➢ Immediate adoption of an investment-friendly legislative package to enable CCU/S, including state risk coverage and infrastructure investments without technical or industry-specific selection.
➢ Moratorium on power plant shutdowns: New secured capacity must be available before shutdowns occur.
➢ Stop the haphazard expansion of PV and wind: Approvals only for grid-compatible investments.

Dear Federal Chancellor, the German energy transition threatens to overwhelm Germany as a business location – and with it all our colleagues. Instead of further perseverance slogans and sugarcoating, we finally expect clear statements and signals about which specific measures the federal government will take to correct the misdevelopments in German energy and climate policy and make our energy supply internationally competitive again.

The actions of this federal government will not only abstractly determine the future of Germany as an industrial location. Your actions will concretely determine the future of millions of good industrial jobs. The time for empty words is over. Our colleagues will measure this government by its actions!

Sincerely,

Uwe Teubner

Crisis Of Capitalism? Or Just More Scaremongering By The Elite Control Freaks?

 Many articles, reports and essays published in the past month have warned of the coming collapse of the global economy, the unsustainability of democratic nations' debt burdens and the destructive effects of policies like Net Zero and mass migration, in ways that suggest the 'capitalist economies' of democratic nations are in a terminal crisis.

Although capitalism is usually described as a system of free markets and voluntary exchange, in reality, it frequently relies on collusion, corruption and state-corporate coercion and violence. Given the extent of government and NGO intervention and manipulation of markets by global banks and corporate business there is little free or voluantary about it.

While it is debatable whether “free markets” ever existed this notion obscures rather than reveals what really happening. In the history of capitalism (300-400 years ago) it has undergone many changes. Most important for this discussion is that what is described as “free market capitalism” is really what is was known as capitalist free-competition. This form of capitalism indeed does look like what (US) Libertarians sing hosannas to (innovative, responding to demand efficiently etc).

However, while this form of capitalism still exists, it is vastly subordinated to monopoly capitalism, which is also known as finance capitalism and imperialism. This transformation to the dominance of finance capital was in place by 1900. Ukraine, Iran – these are imperial project by the West. Imperialism requires total domination. Sovereign independence is not acceptable to the imperial countries (US, Britain, Europe). Besides a much greater level of control over the populations of the imperial core, another objective of the Covid policies was to transfer the crisis of finance capital’s need for superprofits to exploit its own population – a massive transfer of wealth to oligarchs of finance capital.

If you command $10 thousand dollars of capital, you can have a nice vacation for your family. If you command $10 Trillion dollars of capital, you can buy countries, wars, the future of humanity itself. It is the degree of concentrated wealth that really determines imperialism. If you want you can call the “globalists” imperialists. They are. The problem is that monopoly capitalism grew out of the capitalism of free-competition, it interpenetrates everything.

Jingoistic Western Triumphalism Will Not End The War In Ukraine Or Cripple Putin, But It Is Crippling Western Nations
As the war in Ukraine grinds on and Russia steps up its economic war against the west and in particular The European Union, claims made recently by the idiotically 'woke' leaders of Europe's main economic and military powers that the West has a once-in-a–generation chance to severely weaken Russia’s capabilities, both militarily and geopolitically, look increasingly hollow.

Tinkering With The Welfare System Will Do Nothing To Avert The Impending Economic Crisis

 What can be said about Chancellor Reeves latest attempt to destroy what is left of the UK economy, the 'Spring Statement' which was released earlier this week only to be met with scorn and ridicule (and that was just from her colleagues in the Labour Party.)

 Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves
Starmer and Reeves, political partnership or comedy double act? Picture credit: Hollie Adams AFP


If they are honest with themselves, Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves will be staring in alarm at what their stewardship has done so far to the British economy. We were heading into a financial crisis before the Labour government took office last July for many reasons, prominent among which were decades of lax immigration controls, the legacy of lockdowns and the far-too-generous benefits system.

Ms. Reeves did at least acknowledge the latter by announcing a crackdown on disability benefit payments to people deemed capable of work but, predictably, this went down like the proverbial Lead Zeppelin with the left wing of her party. However, even if it had been eagery embraced by all, the resulting saving would have been patltry compared to the rate at which government spending is exceeding income. This wold be frightening enough in itself but with Starmer's economic illiteracy and Reeves well documented problems with her CV the situation moves rom farcical to absurdity.

The Government has achieved one of its aims though, which is to balance one very large predicted number, ie, that of taxation, with another, spending, in 2030. This kind of economic planning is all guesswork of course. Five years ago nobody could have known how many billions of pounds would be poured into supporting Ukraine in its war with Russia, or that the pursuit of Net Zero would have gone from unrealistic to downright reckless. And nobody would have believed the measures to contain the spread of COVID 19 which were about to be introduced would remain in place like a tourniquet around the throat of industry and commerce for the next three years.

And just as five years ago nobody would have believed any warning that such things should be factored into financial planning now no one really believes the welfare savings, the growth figures, or the thouasands of 'green jobs' to be created by Net Zero' will actually materialise to replace those lost to doctrinaire policies. But the numbers add up on paper and that has always been good enough for politicians. One side of the House dutifully cheers, the other mocks and jeers. And the world goes on the same.

The whole charade is meaningless, not because things are going well, but because they are going very badly indeed.

One thing that has struck me with recent developments is the interviews that have been broadcast with regard to welfare cuts. Many people, it turns out, now see the prime function of the Government as being to provide them with the money they need to maintain a good standard of living. 

Historically we do not have to look back very far into history to find a time times when the idea that the Government should provide for all its citizens needs and expect nothing in return would simply not have been countenanced. Even the socialist dictum of Karl Marx: "From each according to his ability to each according to his needs," puts the 'from' bit first. The fact that we have lost sight of that work ethic not only has a huge impact on our economy, it seems to have had a huge social and psychological impact on our national community as well.

Were we able to sweep aside the follies of the past and rebuild the apparatus of state from scratch would anyone design a welfare system like the ecurrent UK benefits agency? Listening to some of the recent comments and interviews it appears that as a rule of thumb Governments should not seek to fund more that 50% of its citizens needs.

 Immediately of course people will demand to know where the other 50% is coming from? In that not-too-distant past we are looking back at, people had a work ethic, it was understood that the state did not owe anybody a living, apart from those unfortunate individuals with serious disability or chronic illness everybody could contribute something to society and there was such a thing as personal responsibility and our responsibility to others. Accepting that responsibility made people more inventive, resourceful, self reliant and resilient and able to form a more positive view of the future than the rather  dismal. disaffected ones broadcast in recent days.

So this week’s tinkering to meet the fiscal rules in five years’ time means nothing. Almost certainly the crisis will be on us before electoral defeat can save Starmer, Reeves & Co. from the terrifying prospect of having to accept responsibility for their errors.  As Dr Dan Mitchell, prominent US economist and commentator put it this week: “I’ve been assuming that Italy will be the next country to suffer an economic and fiscal crisis, but the UK is heading in the wrong direction so rapidly that I may need to change my prediction.”

So much is obvious to any intelligent observer not blinded by the stream of meaningless drivel emitted by government figures in the past few days.

After all, Reeves is not entirely wrong in blaming her predecessors bu that while blaming them she hasn’t done anything different or brought any new ideas to the role. The last Conservative government pushed up spending and raised taxes. It was just as committed to net zero. It had its own Rental Reform Bill. Indeed at least Reeves is doing some planning reform to boost the construction industry; the Tories dumped Robert Jenrick’s planning reforms after one bad by-election.

The truth is there hasn’t been any real attempt to get to address Britain’s structural problems for 30 years or so. Tony Blair and Gordon Brown benefited from the reforms of Lady Thatcher and John Major. They used this legacy to make things worse: to push up taxes and spending, to begin the energy policy madness, to start importing large numbers of people, and to launch the process of collectivisation and over-regulation.

None of this was reversed under the Tories and Lib Dems. Most of the problems got worse. That’s why productivity growth is now not far off zero and why GDP per head is actually falling.

Someone now needs to offer a proper, serious alternative.

 


Britain's Self Destructive Race To Net Zero Is Driven By Corruption In High Places
Late last year it was revealed that almost half the Conservative Party MPs in the U.K. Parliament belong to a group promoting extreme Net Zero ideas that is funded by a small group of green billionaires led by the ECF and CAF, along with Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisers and Oak Foundation.

p>The Theraputic Society Is Destroying Civilisation
Many of the problems afflicting Britain and its neighbours appear to be related to what has been called The Theraputic Society, Nanny State and paternalistic liberalism.

UK Gov. Fossil Fuels U Turn Means Its All Over For Net Zero
The Announcement made by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak acknowledged at last that to keep the lights and heating on in our homes and the wheels of industry turning it will be necessary to start building new gas-fired power plants because the great science backed leap to transition energy productions to clean, green, pollution free, sustainable, renewable, blah blah blah sources has failed dismally.

Double Blow To Irish Woke Wonks - Voters Reject ‘Progressive’ Reforms to the Constitution By Big Majorities

Varadkar admitted on Saturday that voters had delivered “two wallops” to the government, which, led by Leo himself, had pushed for a "Yes" vote on a pair of referendums.

He's Not The Messiah, His Name Is Edymandias - Miliband's slab stunt goes down like a Lead Balloon Only two days campaigning left before polls open for the 2015 general election. Who will winn? Opinion Poll show no conclusive trends. But inside information tells us the reason conservative Prime Minister David Cameron has a smile on his face as the campaigning draws to a close. Farage is radiant, clegg liooks chirpy, only Ed Milband is down in the dumps.

Were Rotherham Abuse Victimes sacrificed To Save The Labour Party
One of the victimes of Rotherham's grooming and child abuse gangs has put a political perspective on the scandal by claiming she and other victims were ignored, effectively sacrificed to the tender mercies of the gangs to ensure Labour did not lose votes in the town.

The Left's Rhetorical Technique Explained
In the first of what might become a long if irregular series of posts with the collective title, "Left Wing Authoritarianism for beginners," your friend and mentor Little Nicky Nicky Machiavelli will expose the origins of the socialist left's propaganda technique and its apparent dependence on slogans, dogma and mantras. But first let's play a little game ...

The Hate And Prejudice The Bourgois Left Find Acceptable
The neo - fascist left are quick to jump on any of the forbidden pejudices, racism, sexism, homophobia, islamophobia and so on. But as we have seen, they find pejudice and hated againt Christians and white Europeans quite acceptable. The bourgeois metropitan set might think that is acceptable but where I come from it's called hypocrisy.

Ve Haff Vay Of Making You Konform. The Tide Is Turning against the Autoritarian Left
The left's self confidence has had a hint of desperation about it for a long time. From their constant whines about the sexism, racism and homophobia of the working class who happen to be the party's core constituency to the substitution of smearing UKIP for policies in the european Election this is a party of arrested adolescents throwing a hissy fit because people are laughing at them.

Secret Justice Threatens The Right To A Fair Trial
A move to extend the government's power to order court proceedings to be held in secret and without a jury from only applying to trials affecting national security to anything the government would rather we did not know about threatens the most basic principles of British justice and the right to a fair trial.

These stupid laws insult the public and threaten free speech When the law forbids us to insult or offend somebody, to insult or offend a religion, race, skin colour or sexual preference, free speech and other important democratic rights are under threat. When the law then goes on to say that anyone accused of these offences has no right to defend themselves and the word of the accuser is sufficient evidence on which to obtain a conviction then we have abandoned justice and are ruled by fascists.

Political Extremes Are Gaining Ground In Germany As CDU / SDP Coalition Is Hamstrung By Dogma Before It Even Takes Office

 

After this weekend’s federal election, which we reported on yesterday, the east of the country voted for the nationalist Alternative for Germany (AfD), while the west is dominated by the globalist Christian Democratic Union (CDU), with scattered green and red spots that show where the Greens and the Social Democratic party (SPD) have maintained their left-wing hold on the cities. One third of all voters were undecided just one week before the election. That shows how many voters felt dissatisfied with all the parties.

As anticipated, the CDU won most seats in the Bundestag, gaining 28.5 per cent of the vote, ahead of the AfD on 20 per cent. However, the CDU shouldn’t celebrate yet. The party polled at 33 per cent back when Merkel was in charge. To get under 30 per cent of the vote when the incumbent SDP-Green-FDP government was hated and reviled by an overwhlming majority of voters and turnout was a record 84 per cent really is an underperformance for the party.

The truth is that their leader, Friedrich Merz, is now in a tricky position. He looks likely to go into a ‘grand coalition’ with the SPD. As the populist-left BSW failed to reach the 5 per cent threshold to enter parliament, he is less likely to need to partner with the Greens as well, in a so-called ‘Kenya’ coalition after that country’s flag (black-red-green), though amid allegations of widespread voteing fraud BSW leaders are contemplating a legal challenge to the result.
Should the attemt to form a coalition succeed, Merz will struggle to balance his coalition partner’s very different views on the economy and on immigration wich could lead to another problem. The CDU is itself a coalition of the Christian Democrats and a party which only contests elections in the largest federal state, Bravaria, the Christian Social Union (CSU) which is politically more traditionally conservative than the Christian Democrats and may have difficulty working with an SDP leadership that has moved from centre left to so far left it makes China's Chairman Mao look moderate.

However Merz looks likely to be the next Chancellor of Germany. umping the gun a bit as he is not yet confirmed in that position, Merz rejected overtures from President Donald Trump while calling for “independence” from the United States and accusing Washington of election interference.

Going out of his way to piss off Trump after rejecting an alliance with the AfD, the party Trump had endorsed, in favour of a left-wing coalition and to distance himself from Trump and America in general is probably not the best of starts. But like UK's delusional leftie Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Merz seems to be labouring under the misapprehension that he is leader of a major geopolitical power.

“I am communicating closely with a lot of prime ministers and heads of EU states, and for me, it is an absolute priority to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible so that we achieve independence from the U.S., step by step,” Merz said per state broadcaster DW.

“I never thought that I would ever need to say something like that, on television, but after the latest statements made by Donald Trump last week, it is clear, that the Americans — at any case these Americans, this administration — mostly don’t care about the fate of Europe one way or another,” the CDU leader added.

Merz went on to accuse the Trump administration of having committed election interference, likely hinting at key Trump ally Elon Musk, a vocal supporter of the anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany party.

He said that the “interventions from Washington were no less drastic, dramatic, and ultimately no less brazen, than the intervention that we have seen from Moscow.

But as we said yesterday, it looks as if this show may run for another act or two before the fat lady sings.
