Piece by piece, a great Eastern blockade is coming together, cutting off trade routes between Europe and the Indo-Pacific. The Bab-el-Mandeb strait at the southern end of the Red Sea has become the site of multiple skirmishes, as Western navies struggle to protect the free transit of freight vessels against attacks carried out by the Iranian-backed Houthi movement.
Europe is the 3,000 years of history behind us, not a handful of officials and unelected functionaries of the European Commission telling nations how to behave.
It’s now been more than a year since the spectacular victory of Giorgia Meloni and our friends from Fratelli d’Italia. Those elections showed us, once again, that we, conservatives and reformists, the patriotic forces of Europe, can win elections. And we can do so without having to renounce our principles or disguise our ideas, as it has always been mistakenly believed by other forces that proclaim themselves conservatives in front of their voters, but, when election day arrives, are only concerned with not making any noise and keeping a low profile.
The principles and values that we represent are defended openly and without fear. These values are capable of connecting the majority of society, as long as we know how to live, feel, and fight for the demands of our people at all times.
The US dismissed warnings of an Islamist attack before 9/11, Israel dismissed warnings of a Hamas attack before 10/7, and Europe is making the same mistake.
The video comes from Birmingham, 1 and a half million inhabitants, the second largest city in England, 30 percent Islamic. An entire stadium shouting the Islamic takbir, the submission cry of the “infidels”.
Wikipedia: Takbir is a call to glorify Allah. Takbir is the Arabic term for the phrase Allahu Akbar, meaning “Allah is the greatest.”
Already in 2015 Reuters defined Birmingham as the “English Mecca”. And two years later the New York Times wondered why many English jihadists come from Birmingham. Yes, who knows why.
The British Army is now the smallest it has been in 200 years, as more defence personnel continue to leave than join, while in Germany the military recruitment crisis is so acute the defence minister speaks of bringing back conscription.
Europe is not prepared for a war with Russia and is in danger of being “washed away” in a conflict, much as the Holy Roman Empire was broken up by Napoleon, Germany’s pre-eminent military historian has warned.
At a high-level defence conference in Berlin, several German generals also suggested that Nato might be unable to win the “first battle” in a defensive war on its eastern flank, because it would struggle to ship sufficient numbers of troops and equipment to the front line quickly enough.
For the first time in a millennium, Europe no longer plays a critical role in promoting Western civilization nor in world history at large.
Ostensibly it should. Some 750 million people live on the European subcontinent.
Europe still remains the most popular tourist spot on earth. Its hallowed architecture, art, infrastructure, and natural beauty still remind millions of visitors of the world’s once most dynamic and grandiose civilization.
Europe’s middle classes are increasingly dissatisfied with governing institutions and establishment political parties, while skepticism of the war effort in Ukraine is more widespread than many thought, a new study has found.
The report by the Martens Centre, the think tank of the centrist, pro-EU European People’s Party, acknowledged that mainstream parties and governments are losing support, but claimed the solution was more European integration.
“There is no denying that representative institutions and traditional political parties are in crisis. Our results only confirm that,” the study stated.
Europe is in “complete denial” as China proceeds to spread its influence on the continent. At least that is the urgent, unequivocal view of Ivana Karásková, a Czech foreign influence specialist and a special adviser to European Commission Vice President Věra Jourová.
“In some countries, awareness of [Chinese influence operations] is high because they have a history of Russian-backed action. Elsewhere, it’s complete denial,” she told Politico. “It’s very uneven in terms of awareness. There are some countries where the discussion isn’t happening at all.”
The continent is changing faster than America
The temperature, at last, is starting to drop — and for Europeans that only means one thing: peak season is over.
The crowds in the piazzas and on the beaches are starting to thin. And in the tavernas that were TikTokked you can finally think about getting a table. It’s time. Like the clockwork of migrating swallows — the Americans are going home.

The killing of a teen criminal vs. the passing of judicial reform.The lawless violence of 2023 is similarly close to the surface.
During last year, many large European cities, from France to England, from Sweden to Belgium, have caught fire. And in those flames we could see the end of multiculturalism crackling, a giant powder keg waiting for the spark.
“How can we avoid secession? Because that is what is happening: secession,” said former socialist president François Hollande. And if Gérard Collomb, Emmanuel Macron’s former interior minister, long-time mayor of Lyon and historic exponent of the Socialist Party, said before leaving that the communities, from “side by side”, have moved on to live “face to face, face to face” and that there is a risk of a “civil war”, in the Journal du dimanche an appeal by French generals and officers warned: “We have seen declared a hybrid and multifaceted war, which will end either with a civil war or with a defeat” .
President Emmanuel Macron’s recent Politico interview from his return flight from China (where he spoke at length with Chinese president Xi Jinping) has triggered a wave of controversy. Macron asserted that “Europe must reduce its dependency on the United States and avoid getting dragged into a confrontation between China and the U.S. over Taiwan.” He warned that if Europe too quickly takes sides with the U.S. in such a conflict, then “we won’t have the time, nor the resources, to finance our strategic autonomy, and we will become vassals.” Cultivating a position of “strategic autonomy” for Europe requires reducing its dependence on the U.S. dollar as the primary currency of trade, as well as its dependence on U.S. energy and weapons. Instead, Europe must seek to develop its own industrial, military, and political independence.
EUROPE appears to be falling apart. Germany is now officially in recession as de-industrialisation follows its green energy policies and the catastrophic damage to the Nord Stream pipelines. As Bloomberg put it last week: ‘Europe’s economic engine is breaking down’. France remains in uproar as protests continue nationwide. And any idea that that it is trying to free itself from the shackles of carbon neutrality is wishful thinking at best, naïve at worst. Dutch farmers are still under attack from their own government after the EU approved a farm buy-out plan to meet their climate goals.
Perhaps it is not surprising that the European Parliament hosted an event a couple of weeks ago titled ‘Beyond Growth‘, as that is the clear direction of travel for much of Europe.
Cancelling due to Ben Gvir’s presence is just the newest hypocrisy. Europe celebrates with dictators, but boycotts democratic Israel.
“The ambassadors of the European Union member states present in Qatar are pleased to invite you to a special event to celebrate Europe Day in Qatar”. And again: “Every year, on May 9, we celebrate the Schuman declaration. The EU ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Patrick Simonnet, has organized a lunch to celebrate Europe Day in Riyadh”. Same invitation in Türkiye.
Chinese government appears interested in pulling EU away from US, when Biden administration has sought to shore up allies to counter Beijing
China’s muted response to the historic meeting of Tsai Ing-wen, the Taiwanese president, with Kevin McCarthy, the US House speaker, comes as Beijing prioritises a flurry of diplomatic activity aimed at its wider efforts to lure the European Union and other nations away from the United States.
Ms Tsai’s meeting was the highest-level government reception for a Taiwanese leader on US soil in decades, and one that China protested in advance.
BRUSSELS — European leaders are suddenly falling over each other to get to China.
Amid growing concern that Chinese leader Xi Jinping is hardening his support for Russia’s war in Ukraine, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced on Thursday he will fly to Beijing for talks next week. Emmanuel Macron, the French president, will follow on a longer-planned trip on April 4.
A succession of European Union leaders used a summit in Brussels to raise the alarm about China’s ostentatious backing for Vladimir Putin this week, warning that they could not stand by while Beijing and Moscow cement an alliance that risks tipping the world deeper into crisis.
China is supporting Russia in its war with Ukraine did the EURO’s not get the message?
It’s bad enough the Liberal Party and our Corporate elite has sold Canada out to Communist China but it appears the majority of our NATO allies are also turncoats.
