Volodymyr Zelensky, The Poisonous Pixie With The Piano Playing Penis joined the EU’s 27 leaders for talks, hoping no doubt that he could persuade them to put Ukraine’s everlasting demands for money, weapons and free and firmly at the top of their priority list as it becomes more obvious by the day that Donald Trump has lost patience with Zelensky, the Ukies and their demands for support in their efforts to drag NATO and the USA into their conflict with Russia, a development that would surely turn into World War Three
After a tough couple of weeks, during which it became clear that influential military, political and media figures in Ukraine are sick of Zelensky's regime, their sabotage of every peace initiative and the corruption of the people surrounding Zelensky, tensions between the Ukrainian leader and US President Donald Trump boiled over once more, Zelenskyy is aiming to obtain guarantees of further military assistance, to strengthen Ukraine's air defences and protect its energy infrastructure, and of course begging for more cash assistance that he and his cronies can skim off and stash in their Swiss bank accounts, as he joins EU leaders for the talks.
The rift between Ukraine and Washington deepened over the weekend as Donald Trump lifted numerous sanctions on Russia two days before they were due to take effect. The sanctions were passed by the US Congress and signed into law by the US president in September. It appears the US President is putting American domestic and economic interests before the Ukie regimes desire to kill Russians
But Trump issued an executive order on Friday night saying that suspending some was in the US national interest, prompting a backlash from US lawmakers. Zelensky said it was unfortunate the US has decided to "completely disregard" the sanctions.
Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev said Trump's order was "an important and truly historic moment", and that the sanctions would have inflicted "serious damage" on the US and global market.
Trump's executive order is not just a sanctions waiver. $4B also going from US to the Russian economy with the Diesel deal. That won't actually make any difference to the price of diesel in the US (it's only 1-2 days supply), but it sends a signal - Trump favours Autocrats over democrats (in it's broader sense). That sort of symbolism is important. It demonstrates that there is a philosophical alignment between Trump and Putin in how they see the World and Trump wanted to send a message to Moscow.

Risk of a nuclear incident at the Kursk nuclear power plant,’ because of Ukie drone strikes warns IAEA“There is a risk of a nuclear incident at the Kursk nuclear power plant,” said Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) following his visit on Tuesday (27 August) to the facility in Kurchatov, close to the Russian border and the area curenly occupied by Ukrainian troops. He added that he had been shown evidence of damage caused by Ukie drone strikes during his visit to the plant.
If You're Afraid Of Nuclear War You're Not Supporting Ukraine Enough Is Zelensky's Latest Message The follow up to Elon Musk's refusal to open his Starlink satellite network for the benefit of Ukrainian military leaders as they fantasise about attacking Crimea and driving out the Russian occupying force this past week showcases how completely unhinged and dangerous the Ukrainian government's desire to escalate the war has become.
Will Commodities Be The New Reserve Currency As The Death Knell Of The Dollar Sounds? Many respected economists and market analysts who favour the free markets approach concur that we are heading towards a new economic reality that will see the collapse of the US$ as the default reserve currency, to be replaced not by any other fiat currency such as the Euro or the Renminbi, but by a system in which commodities are the
primary denominator of value. Should this turn out to be the case we can expect an acceleration of the shift in geopolitical power from west to East.
We The Good Guys Versus They The Bad Guys Reporting Does Not Make Sense For The Ukraine Crisis Mainstream media reporting of the conflict in Ukraine has disappointed. Perhaps I was naive to suppose that lessons might have been learned from the hits their print sales and online traffic rates took as a result of their handling the COVID pandemic But instead of focusing on the most obviously newsworthy aspect of the build up to and escalation of the war, Russia’s view of NATO expansion into Ukraine and even further to Georgia and Kazakhstan, news reports have simply demonised Russia and portrayed Ukraine as the good guys.
Europe's Depleted Gas Storage Might Not Get Refilled Ahead Of Next Winter While mainstream news reporting of the conflict in Ukraine continues to pump out a torrent of anri - Russia, pro - war propaganda the catastropic effects of this war that could so easily have been avoided are not mentioned. Well why would warmongering governments admit they have inflicted an energy crisis, food shortages and soaring living costs on their people for no good reason ...
For over a decade Euro Federaliosts have tried to claim that Britain didn’t actually mean to vote for Brexit. From the original Remain camp's claim in the aftermath of the 2016 referendum result being announced and they spread stories that voters were too stupid to understand what we were voting for (did they think we were all confused we actually put our mark in the wrong box on the ballot paper?) to this week's statement by Prime Minister Andy Burnham that we were duped by 'Russian interference' as he tried to build a case for, if not actually rejoining then at least seeking closer ties with the EU
Unfortunately it is bollocks. Speaking in London on Monday, Sir Ken McCallum, the head of MI5, confirmed that Russia sought to influence the Brexit vote, but added that all the evidence points to the effort being poorly organised and having no impact on the outcome of the vote. Drawing a vital distinction, he declared that it is “important to focus on the difference between what may have been attempted and what actually resulted”.
Indeed, but EU and UK leaders seem besotted with the idea of war with Russia which is perhaps why Burnham's next attack of foot-in-mouth syndrome involved pledging Britain's continuing support of the neo Nazi regime in Ukraine hours after Trump indicated he is ready to abandon the Ukies, having realised they don't want peach, they just want to kill Russians.
Sir Ken went on to suggest that revisiting the debate on Moscow’s supposed influence over Brexit was itself problematic. He told news reporters the Russian trolls will be “delighted they are front page news once again despite the comparative unimpressiveness of what they do at all points along the journey”.
Mr Burnham has since been forced to back off his statement and tone down rhetoric about rejoining, but he should have been clear: Brexit was not the result of some Russian information coup. The Leave vote had been brewing for years, as the public tired of Brussels dictating British laws, stymieing the country’s freedom, preventing proper control of its borders, and holding back the economy – particularly in those left-behind areas New Labour so ignored. It is globalists who think Britain should join the EU, not isolationists like Putin.

Second Ceuta Border Invasion Attempt Underway As Military-Aged Migrants Mass Near Spanish Enclave
With an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 migrants still remaining in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta on the coast of North Africa reports are coming in of a surge of sexual assaults on women and children in the town which has a population of about 80,000 residents and an area of 19 square kilometers. With the police and military presence outnumbered and local
resources are severely overstretched, the asylum seekers are running wild, leaving health services struggling
to contain potential infectious disease outbreaks as rubbish and human waste piles up in the streets.
These services are also having to deal with cases of rape,
physical assaults, and other injuries associated with the massive
influx of migrants. Meanwhile, locals say the beaches are occupied by
migrants, leading to sprawling tent camps, feces, urine, and the spread
of infectious diseases during a critical holiday beach season.
Beaches and parks that once hosted families are now open-air
camps of garbage, feces and makeshift shacks. And the Civil Guard has
confirmed at least 15 rapes and numerous sexual assaults since the late-July mass migrant invasion —
including a 10-year-old girl allegedly assaulted by three migrant
brothers.
Women are packing up and leaving the Spanish
enclave. Local residents describe a city abandoned by its the government
while Spain's socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez remains on vacation.
A mother broke down on live TV this week, describing the daily terror for her teenage daughter.
“My 16-year-old daughter has to go everywhere with her father or with
me because the migrants devour her. I can’t take it anymore. I want
them all gone,” she stated.
She
added, “I’m not racist—my granddaughter is mixed-race, my best friends
are Muslim—but they can’t invade us. What’s stayed here is the worst of
it; there are murderers, rapists, thieves.”
This is the reality
two weeks after an estimated 70,000-plus migrants poured across from
Morocco into a city of roughly 84,000 people. Reception centres
collapsed. Thousands — largely young men — stayed behind when many
others returned. Beaches became the default settlement.
This favourite spot for tourists was turned into an open sewer in just days by the migrants. Picture: uncredited web source
While all this has been happening in Ceuta we have been hearing reports, (now confirmed ) that the government of Algeria is moving sub-Saharan migrants toward its border with Morocco under military escort. Various reports and videos circulating on social media show large groups
of migrants moving through southern Algeria toward the border with
Morocco, accompanied and escorted by Algerian military vehicles. Opposition party Vox slammed the government of Sanchez for failing to deal with the first influx and doing nothing to stop a second.
This migratory movement cannot be interpreted as a mere coincidence or a
spontaneous phenomenon. Algeria, with a large military deployment and
detailed knowledge of migration routes within its territory, routinely
controls and restricts these flows. The military escort and the specific
direction toward Morocco suggest a deliberate strategy to undermine Spain's social stability. Within this
context, a new front is opening up in the complex political dispute
between the two countries, where irregular migration is being used as a
tool for exerting pressure on Spain and the EU.

Sweden's Migrant Crackdown Could Spell The End Of Open Borders Across Europe
As we have reported many times over the past year, Sweden has been more hard hit by the crimes and lawlessness of illegal immigrants from primitive third world societies than anywhere else in Europe.

New Figures Show Brexit Has Failed To Take Back Control Of Immigration Just over six years ago the nation's attention was focused on immigration, and particularly the 'Brexit' campaign's promise to 'Take Back Control' of our borders.

Germans Cheer As Refugee Center Burns

The EU is blatantly pro American, supportive of moves towards global government and opposed to democracy, except for the kind of democratic assembly that merely rubber stamps bureaucrats' decisions.

Merkel Isolated As Europe Splits Over Refugee Crisis
With the UK Prime Minister David Cameron still desperately trying to convince his 'revised terms' of British membership of the EU are a really good deal, when in fact they will change nothing, our attention should shift to developments elsewhere in Europe.
A huge slump in crop yields will lead to higher grocery bills for consumers and more inflation, economists have warned, as Europe's hot dry summer looks set to drag on into the autumn. All this comes on top of the European Union's efforts to put farmers out of business in pursuit of their loonytoons net zero ambitions
Farmers' organisations and GovernmentAgriculture departments across the Europe have warned of sharp drops in yields after the continent has been hit by successive heatwaves this summer. Economists have
said the losses are likely to push food prices higher in the coming
months and will make many small farms, already hit by authoritarian EU measures, unable to make a profit from producing food.
June and July were among the hottest and dryest on record in western
Europe, according to the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, which warned of a “continued risk of heatwaves affecting much of Europe” through August and into September.
In
France, one of the EU’s largest grain producers, groundwater reserves are severely depleted across much of the country by early August that crop yields are expected to be significantly lower,
according to the national geological survey.
In an extraordinary early forecast,
Coceral, the industry body representing the cereals, oilseeds, rice and
olive oil sectors, cut its estimates for grain crops in European countries, including the UK, to 286.6 million tonnes. This is around 9 million tonnes lower than its June estimate of 295.5
million tonnes and almost ten per cent down ob the 310 million tonnes
harvested in 2025.
The outlook for maize has deteriorated
further, with Coceral warning that heat stress is now affecting
pollination in key growing regions. Further losses may be realised, as
additional hot weather is forecast across other parts of the EU during
the critical late summer growing period. These figures all point to food shortages and price inflation in the coming winter.
Tom Lancaster, land, food and farming
analyst at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) said: “The
June heatwave and drought came at a terrible time for European cereal farmers,
hitting crop development and reducing yields across the continent. This
will hit farmers in the pockets and undermining European food security at the same time.
But while the problem is obviously serious, far too many 'experts' are simply blaming 'climate change' without doing any research, even though numerous scientists have now broken ranks and said climate change is natural and there is no crisis. If so call climate change has caused this summer's drought and the resultant impact of water shortages on food production, what caused the one 50 years ago when global warming was not yet a thing.
The long, hot Summer of 1976 happened in the middle of an unusually
cold decade, supposedly leading climate scientists of the day to warn of an imminent new ice-age. How do the Warmageddonists explain that?
The EU’s trade deficit with China has been growing for years and, thanks to the efforts of the prosperity and trade hating left and the save-the-planet-by-destroying-civilisation mob recently reached a
record €1bn (£0.8bn) a day, according to EU official trade data. This unsustainable trade gap with China has fuelled concerns over the future of Europe’s “industrial backbone”.
The gap between the EU’s imports from China
and exports to China amounted to €31.9bn in April, according to the
latest import and export data from the EU statistics body Eurostat.
The
data comes as European leaders prepare to meet on Thursday to discuss
measures to address the growing trade imbalance, which includes the increased presence of Chinese electric cars – exported by a heavily subsidised industry – in Europe and the use of everyday components in factories across the bloc.
On receiving the news Javi López, European Parliament
vice-president, said the European Union's trade imbalance with China
"cannot continue", with the bloc running a €1bn-a-day trade deficit.
After
travelling to China this week seeking to end the eight-year stalemate in negotiations with The Peoples Republic to find a way of resolving this trade imbalance,
López (S&D, Spain) called for the EU to "relaunch" its relationship
with Beijing. He believes dialogue, rather than defensive tariffs and restrictions, is key to
rebuilding ties with the Chinese government
The Spanish MEP says solutions based on "dialogue and
cooperation", rather than by triggering a trade war between the EU and China should be found, and he
expects the European Commission's efforts to begin easing
tensions will soon result in progress.
Senor Lopez is sadly out of touch with reality if he thinks the economically devastating trade imbalance between EU and China can be resolved through diplomatic negotiations. That is just not how the Chinese Communist Party do things.
The EU’s trade deficit with China is exploding year in year due to Europe - wide (including UK which is no longer and EU member but plays by the same rules,), and the EU’s heads of
state and government, having exported whole industries, and the jobs that go with them, to China, India and the global south while simultaneously crippling what industries remain in the west with high taxes and exorbitant fuel costs in pursuit of virtue signalling policies like 'Net Zero' are beginning to panic. China and other developing economies pay lip service to net zero and other sacred cows but happily go on increasing CO2 emisssions and damaging the environment regardless.
China’s exports to the EU
have risen by 16 per cent in the 2024 - 25 financial year ( Financial Times ) and look set to rise by a similar amount in the current year. The deficit between what we buy from China and what we sell to them now amounts to €1
billion per day. This is not something any European economy can sustain over a prolonged period, particularly will all major European economies being burdened with debt as a result of overly generous welfare systems. A trade war with China is looking increasingly inevitable.
The leader of the EPP Group in the European Parliament, social democrat Manfred Weber, is uncharacteristically blunt in his assessment. Weber told the German newspaper Bild
‘Either we defend ourselves, or China will destroy much of our industry.’
Weber is right on target there, China's heavily subsidies automobile manufacturers are already causing Europe's main car makers to reduce production and cut jobs, as our recent report on Vlokswagen demonstrated.
The European market is now being
flooded with cheap Chinese goods after China’s trade war with Trump and the United States put a stop to much of its exports there. A thorn in the EU’s side is China’s extensive state
support for various industries. This gives Chinese companies an unfair advantage as EU and World Trade Organisationapproaches to subsidies
are governed by the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing
Measures (SCM Agreement), which restricts the use of subsidies
and allows member countries to impose countervailing measures if they
can demonstrate injury to a domestic industry from subsidised imports.
The EU is accustomed to treading softly in relation to China, and
President Antonio Costa did not even mention China in responding to Lopez in the trade deficit issue.
Beijing is aware of European dissatisfaction with the situation and has launched a campaign to prevent the
EU from adopting new measures to slow Chinese imports. Earlier this
month China cancelled two important diplomatic meetings with the EU at
short notice, according to the FT.
Beijing is said to be particularly dissatisfied with the EU’s new industrial legislation and the ‘Buy European’ decision. EU diplomats, for their part, are clear that ‘macroeconomic imbalances’ is synonymous with China.
‘Of course it is China we are talking about,’ say two senior diplomats.
They believe that the EU must sharpen its trade
policy instruments to meet what they regard as unfair competition from
China, but reject the suggestion that this amounts to provoking
conflict.
‘This is a reaction. It was they who started it,’ says one of the diplomats.
If the EU prioritises internal compromise, it will end up suffering
defeat at the hands of China, which is paying close attention and knows
where to apply pressure.

Do We Have A Winter Of Civil Disobedience Ahead? As many people in Britain slap on the apres sun gloop in the wake of what passes for a heatwave in these cool cloudy climes, our inept politicians caught with their pants down by unusual weather as usual have heard that that winter is coming and are making plans for a coldwave.
We are in the grip of an energy crisis at the height of summer. Last week, it was reported that the UK government is laying down plans for a “reasonable worst-case scenario” including blackouts for industry and even households. And this is as energy prices spiral out of control to new records every day.
Official Advice - Prepare For Blackouts This Winter The UK
government is putting plans together for days of organised blackouts this winter, in what they call
a "reasonable worst-case scenario" for energy shortages, according to reports in manstream media. Naturally they are blaming this on the embargo on importing gas from Russia but in reality Britain has never imported any more than a small amout of its gas from Russia.

As this blog predicted when NATO and EU member states shot themselves in the foot by reacting to Russia's invasion of Ukraine with sanctions that prevented Russia from selling oil, gas and vital raw materials to the countries that needed them most, the NATO and EU member states, the Russians have had no problems finding alternative customers for their gas and oil and no problem getting oil into the world's commodity markets through the back door.
"Our Country Is Facing The Biggest Crisis The Crisis We Ever Had": German Employers' Association Warns Over Russian Gas Cut With the Nord Stream 1 pipeline closed for maintenance, with the possibility that President Putin will not allow it to reopen at the end of the scheduled 10 days downtime in retaliation for the EU's continued support or Ukraine in their conflict with Russia, Germany is facing an unprecedented crisis that could erase the prosperity Germans have grown accustomed to, warned Rainer Dulger, head of the Confederation of German Employers’ Associations.
We The Good Guys Versus They The Bad Guys Reporting Does Not Make Sense For The Ukraine Crisis Mainstream media reporting of the conflict in Ukraine has disappointed. Perhaps I was naive to suppose that lessons might have been learned from the hits their print sales and online traffic rates took as a result of their handling the COVID pandemic But instead of focusing on the most obviously newsworthy aspect of the build up to and escalation of the war, Russia’s view of NATO expansion into Ukraine and even further to Georgia and Kazakhstan, news reports have simply demonised Russia and portrayed Ukraine as the good guys.
Boris and Biden Can't Blame Ukraine War For Energy Crisis With typical arrogance and condescension towards the people who elected them Boris Johnson, Joe Biden and their respectiive presstitutes are trying to spin the energy crisis Europe and North America are currently facing as somehow being linked to the conflict in Ukraine and therfore blame is being attactched to Russia and Vladimir Putin. Do they really think we are stupid enough to believe such unmitigated bollocks? ...
Even If The War In Ukraine Ends, Sanctions Will Stay - So How Bad Will The Food Crisis Get? Western leaders, desperate to show their own countries they were taking a firm stance on Russia's invasion of Ukraine, were quick to impose economic sanctions ... so quick in fact that they acted before they had though things through. While freezing Russia out of the global finance system they have exacerbated the wests energy crisis, while Russia's retaliatory ban on raw materials (fertiliser) exports will create extra problems on top of those we already had ...
Europe's Depleted Gas Storage Might Not Get Refilled Ahead Of Next Winter While mainstream news reporting of the conflict in Ukraine continues to pump out a torrent of anti - Russia, pro - war propaganda the catastropic effects of this war that could so easily have been avoided are not mentioned.

The biggest news story of the year so far has filled online, print and broadcast news this week as an estimated 49,000 illegal migrants entered the tiny Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco within 24 hours.
The figure, attributed to estimates used by Spain’s Department of Defense Security and confirmed by two ministerial sources, would amount to roughly 59 percent of Ceuta’s population of approximately 83,000.
The influx began with migrants swimming around the coastal border fence, enticed by a Spanish Supreme Court ruling earlier this month that prevented immediate pushbacks of people entering Spanish territory by sea. As the flow intensified, footage showed thousands gathering at the frontier before overwhelming the border infrastructure and entering the autonomous city.
The Spanish government later announced the deployment of the armed forces to support the Civil Guard, despite initially refusing to rule out the declaration of a national emergency.
Spanish military personnel were eventually deployed alongside police to the streets of Ceuta after thousands of migrants from North Africa stormed the exclave on Thursday.
The Spanish territory, which borders Morocco in North Africa, was inundated with arrivals who overwhelmed police.
At least nine people have died trying to reach the exclave, Spanish authorities said.
Footage
showed migrants swimming towards a crowded shore, while thousands more stormed through border gates, completely overwhelming the few border guards on duty.
While the land border is protected by a 10m-high security fence and is heavily policed by Spain and Morocco, arrivals by sea are protected by a new court ruling.

Recent foggy conditions and warm sea
temperatures probably led to the surge in arrivals. According to state
broadcaster TVE, 2,000 to 3,000 people had crossed the border on
Thursday.
However, the government said the ruling was not a factor
in the sharp increase in crossings, instead blaming “exploitation by
mafias and criminal organisations”.
“It has been a slow trickle
since the supreme court’s ruling [granting amnesty to a million illegal immigrants already in Spain,], but today has been an explosion,” a
spokesman for the Guardia Civil told Reuters.
In Melilla, although
the situation was more muted, clashes and fires were reported at Beni
Ansar, the exclave’s only border crossing with Morocco.
When Pedro Sánchez,
Spain’s prime minister, declared shortly afterwards that “practically
all” of them had returned to Morocco, relief quickly gave way to mockery
– even though almost nobody had bothered to verify Madrid’s claims.
Up
to 5,000 migrants remained scattered across the beach, industrial
estates and streets of Ceuta, officials estimated on Monday. Two migrant
reception centres – one for adults and another for minors – had
“collapsed”, the local mayor said.
But the official narrative from Madrid is that everything is under control, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s outrage, and her suggestion that Schengen free movement
with Spain might have to be temporarily suspended is wildly overblown, and merely a political ploy apparently. So too was the criticism coming from other European
capitals.
German leftist weekly Die Zeit denounced what
it called “fact-free Spain-bashing” and went further still: “The new
arrivals were returned quickly and without bureaucracy, so precisely
what conservative and Right-wing parties always demand has happened.”
It would be comforting if that were true. It is not.
The reality is far messier – and it brutally exposes the EU’s impotence on migration.
Some reports from North Africa suggest these mobs of young male economic migrants are an Islamic 'forlorn hope', an expeditionary force sent to test European defences, as are the "small
boats" currently ferrying many thousands of young Muslim men into
Britain. A similar invasion is ongoing in Italy where for over a decade now swarms of illegal immigrants have descended like locusts on the tiny Italian ruled ] tinyItalian island of Lampedusa, where between June 1, 2023 and mid-January 2025, the reception center, or hotspot on the in the Mediterranean has welcomed a total of 126,000 migrants, states
the Red Cross in figures released at the end of last week.
"The
year 2024 that just ended brought a total of 45,997 migrants to
Lampedusa on 1,095 different boats. Most of the arrivals were adult men
(74.3 percent), followed by minors (19.4 percent) and women (6.3
percent)"
Madrid insists that “almost everyone” who entered the North African
enclave during last week’s unprecedented influx has already been
returned to Morocco.
Up
to 5,000 migrants remained scattered across the beaches, industrial
estates and streets of Ceuta, officials estimated on Monday. Two migrant
reception centres – one for adults and another for minors – had
“collapsed”, the local mayor said.
The real invasion is yet to come, but come it will. History, it i said, repeats itself and the Islamic attack on Europe has happened several times before in the last 1500
years. Islamic invaders from North Africa ruled the whole of Spain until
around 1480; as late as 1680, they very, very nearly occupied Vienna.
If they had not lost that battle, European history would have been very
different. Now they are back, and they mean business. Islam does not
come to integrate but to subjugate. Muslims "know" that they have a
divine duty to convert the world to the Islamic faith. One has to have a
grudging admiration for their clear conviction. Would that our woke
Christian and political leaders had such clarity of purpose. Mass immigration has replaced military action this time, but the aim of these migrants is to undermine European civil society and the rule of law. We citizens
and our leaders must wake from our complacent sleep before it is too
late.
Europe,
under the EU, has been weak on borders by removing most of them and not
protecting the few that are left. They've also been importing migrants
en masse, often to the dislike of their own citizens, for decades.
Those who arrive / are found / arrested are treated like victims and
given what they need at the cost of tax-paying citizens, who don't
necessarily support government action / inaction on migration and the recent EU Migration Pact, dubbed Europe's suicide pact, came into force there has been a huge backlash against open borders policy. The
message this sends to the world is that anyone can just rock up and stay
and be paid for. Until governments change the message, this problem
will never stop, it will only collapse the 'safe' countries the millions
are flocking to.
December 2019: Virtue Signalling Swedish Government Planned To Destroy National Economy Within A Decade Swedish Social Democrat government, supported by the Centre Party and the Liberals, have revealed a plan that will be the Christmas delight of left wing bansturbators everywhere.

Sweden's Migrant Crackdown Could Spell The End Of Open Borders Across Europe
As we have reported many times over the past year, Sweden has been more hard hit by the crimes and lawlessness of illegal immigrants from primitive third world societies than anywhere else in Europe. Even the Sweden hating socialists cannot ignore the epidemic of rape crimes, assaults and the general contempt for Swedish society, law, culture and traditions that illegal immigrants from Africa and the middle east have expressed through their actions.
Worlds Biggest Luxury Liner To Be An Immigtant Hostel?
Ocean Gala, a luxury cruise liner which when launched was the world’s largest passenger ship will be converted into a concentration camp floating hostel to house Sweden’s third world migrants. The only thing that may derail the deal with US Shipmanagers for floating migrant accommodation, would be failure to find a berth in any of Sweden’s large deep water harbours. Sweden’s open doors immigration policy has led to ... (immigration)
Germany Running Out Of Money, Debt Levels Exploding - The Price Of War, Open Borders And Net Zero? An urgent warning about the state of Germany's finances has been given by Finance Minister Christian Lindner. Lindner has bluntly told the government that state borrowing are growing out of hand, and the government urgently needs to reduce spending. The other coalition members, the Social Democrats, and The Greens are both spendthrift lefties so dispute over spending is only expected to escalate
Another EU Member State's Globalist Government Collapses We have recently been happy to report the victory of Georgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy, the defeat of Sweden's Social Democrat led coalition by a centreist group which includes the Eurosceptic Sweden Democrats, the resurgence of Germany's AfD and France's Rassemblement National. But somehow The Netherlands seemed immune to this trend. In spite of threats of a political upheaval, Prime Minister Mark Rutte somehow managed to stay in power election after election.
France's Week Of Riots Signal Failure Of Virtue Signalling Immigration Policies The mass riots that rocked French society over the past week put the spotlight on the disaster of liberal mass immigration policies in the European democracies and the total failure by Western societies to assimilate the new arrivals welcomed through years of mass immigration, into the culture, traditions and laws of the host nation, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has claimed.
New Figures Show Brexit Has Failed To Take Back Control Of Immigration Just over six years ago the nation's attention was focused on immigration, and particularly the 'Brexit' campaign's promise to 'Take Back Control' of our borders. Today the immigration issue is as predominant in many people's minds as news this morning revealed record numbers of migrants entered the country last year, while yesterday a record number of people were trying to make the hazardous crossing from France in small boats to enter the country illegally.
Germans Cheer As Refugee Center Burns
After a remarkable degree of restraint and tolerance was demonstrated by residents of EU cities where the refugees are being dumped in hostels, fed, clothed and given spending money, all funded by European taxes, the attacks that left 130 people dead in Paris in November and the string of sexual assaults that swept Cologne, Germany on New Year’s Eve have been the straw that has broken the camels back.
Ignorance Is Strength: European Parliament Read to clamp Down On Free Speech
The EU is blatantly pro American, supportive of moves towards global government and opposed to democracy, except for the kind of democratic assembly that merely rubber stamps bureaucrats' decisions. Moreover, the EU has well documented designs towards extending 'Europe' into the middle east and north Africa, which makes an insane kind of sense of Hausfrau - Volksfuhrer Merkel's determination to flood Europe with illegal immigrants from those regions.
Fear and Panic: EU Defence Budgets Boom Amid ‘Russian Threat’ Paranoia Sssssh. Do you hear that? The sound of two horses, their firey hooves drumming on the ground, eyes glowing like embers as at full gallop they draw the chariot of Mars, the war god. Their names are Phobos and Deimos, Fear and Panic. Paranoia over a supposed “Russian threat†and the fear of terrorism following the Paris attacks are causing panic among NATO and EU nations, causing governments to vastly increase their defense budgets:
Merkel Isolated As Europe Splits Over Refugee Crisis
With the UK Prime Minister David Cameron still desperately trying to convince his 'revised terms' of British membership of the EU are a really good deal, when in fact they will change nothing, our attention should shift to developments elsewhere in Europe.
The despairing cries of a woman who stands, helpless can be heard along the whole length of the street, as masked men grab her
husband, then bundle him into a waiting van. Within seconds she is a forlorn figure, weeping in the middle of the now deserted street. This is Odesa, but scenes
like it, captured on phones and posted online, hammer Ukrainian cities
as relentlessly as Russian missiles. Since Putin’s full-scale invasion
began, over a million Ukrainians have been conscripted to defend their
homeland. And, as voluntary recruits have dried up, the army has begun
resorting to the same methods faced by that couple in Odesa. .
The process is brutally simple. Draft officers, often accompanied by
police, snatch military-age men off the streets, before delivering them
to recruitment centres. There, many are pressured through threats,
intimidation, and physical abuse to pass military medical examinations
and sign draft papers. Men with serious conditions — including HIV,
tuberculosis and even cancer — are routinely declared fit for military service by the Banderite militaty.
Whether they like it or not, the recruitment officers must meet
quotas; the only question is who fills them. Yet with Ukraine’s wealthy
elite reluctant to heed the call, even as their closest allies advise them to accept defeat and surrender to save what is left of their country Kyiv’s recruitment crisis is becoming a
class crisis too, one that could cause chaos long after the guns fall
silent.
War is always ugly. Always. No exceptions. In war, morality becomes flexible. Both sides do things in the name of victory that they wouldn't do in peacetime to each other, to neutral parties, and to their own citizenry. The winner of the conflict gets to justify, rationalise, and sometimes just forget their own offences while the loser gets blamed for the war and everything their side did becomes a war crime or a genocide or w/e else the winners want to call it. Thus Ukraine's propagandists keep spinning propaganda to turn crushing defeat by an overwhelming force into a kind of victory.
Case in point, the US operated concentration camps and interned Japanese Americans in WWII. Were they better than the Nazi death camps, yes, but then our territory and infrastructure wasn't being decimated on a daily basis either. Had we faced an invasion of our homeland, had the US lost the war to Japan, this would not be merely and embarrassing historical footnote and we would probably not have been able to sweep this under the rug so easily.
The longer the conflict goes on, and the more dire the situation becomes for either side, the more decisions are ruled by fear and desperation rather than sound judgement. Fear and desperation make for poor decisions. War is one of those rare occasions where the top layers of society are truly in jeopardy of losing their wealth, power, and status. In normal times, people who possess wealth and power have little to fear. The two things ruling classes fear are war and revolution, because when the system, the army, the law, and the government that protects the ruling class and allows them to be a ruling class are defeated, they are no different than anybody else. They can be shot dead as easily as a homeless man on the street. Anything they own can be seized by force of arms.
That's what's really going on here. The desperation of Ukraine's corrupt western leaning leaders and elites is showing in their tactics. The soldiers generated by this effort are almost certainly not worth the public backlash that is already building against them, but they're not being rational anymore. They're terrified of Putin and of being reabsorbed into Russia. They're terrified of signing any treaty that doesn't bind the EU or US or both to come to Ukraine's defense actively because they know that Russia can rearm and rebuild faster than they can. Never mind about Putin, the US will never agree to that. They'd know that if they were thinking rationally, but they're not. They're afraid of the Russians, they are terrified of going into exile because interpol have issued arrest warrants for them over embezzlement of cash aid, and they're desperate to find some way out of this dilemma.

Risk of a nuclear incident at the Kursk nuclear power plant,’ because of Ukie drone strikes warns IAEA“There is a risk of a nuclear incident at the Kursk nuclear power plant,” said Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) following his visit on Tuesday (27 August) to the facility in Kurchatov, close to the Russian border and the area curenly occupied by Ukrainian troops. He added that he had been shown evidence of damage caused by Ukie drone strikes during his visit to the plant.
If You're Afraid Of Nuclear War You're Not Supporting Ukraine Enough Is Zelensky's Latest Message The follow up to Elon Musk's refusal to open his Starlink satellite network for the benefit of Ukrainian military leaders as they fantasise about attacking Crimea and driving out the Russian occupying force this past week showcases how completely unhinged and dangerous the Ukrainian government's desire to escalate the war has become.
Will Commodities Be The New Reserve Currency As The Death Knell Of The Dollar Sounds? Many respected economists and market analysts who favour the free markets approach concur that we are heading towards a new economic reality that will see the collapse of the US$ as the default reserve currency, to be replaced not by any other fiat currency such as the Euro or the Renminbi, but by a system in which commodities are the
primary denominator of value. Should this turn out to be the case we can expect an acceleration of the shift in geopolitical power from west to East.
