The European Commission rejected the registration of the Save Europe Act — Eva Vlaardingerbroek

They claim it’s “racist” and goes against “European values” to want to keep Europe, European.

We’re not accepting the madness anymore. Europe belongs to us.

The EC is acting treasonously and is almost certainly controlled by a secret mafia of non-Europeans mixed with handfuls of depraved Europeans. Through bribery, blackmail, promoting the incompetent, disabling the competent, Europe has been quietly infiltrated and taken over. All of its institutions are suspect. All of its regions are facing total demise. This same dire condition prevails throughout the entire West. I am not promoting violence, but the facts are: This is the way the West goes/ With either a bang or a whimper. ABN

Modelling scout and suspected Epstein pimp is found dead at his Paris home after name appeared more than a thousand times in declassified files

A French modelling scout with close ties to the late US financier Jeffrey Epstein has been found dead at his home outside Paris, prosecutors said on Wednesday.

Under investigation in France, Daniel Siad, 69, was one of several French men accused of aiding Epstein to traffic and abuse women.

Siad had not yet been questioned by investigators, but had denied the allegations, saying he wanted to be heard and give his version of events.

Dead before he can talk. No way to know who killed him. Probably not suicide. Autopsy will be worthless. Epstein cabal insiders definitely would not want him to ‘give his version of events’. It is yet another important French connection. When the only news about the Epstein cabal is news like this, or yet more about Gates or ex-prince Andrew, nothing can be believed, and everything is deeply suspicious. That itself is a form of mind-control. Epstein insiders are warned once again that the stakes are life or death. The public, from the dullest to the most savvy, are shown that Epstein information is a matter of life or death. So we all know. ABN

Americans and all of the West are trapped…

Same is true across the West. Infiltration, parasitism, financialization, indoctrination, mind-control and replacement migration — these are the soft military strategies which have taken down the West and all but finished it off. They have no solid goal except to take as much as they can while remaining in power. These elite forces, which are far more powerful than the governments they control, are united but mainly in greed, so the demise of Western civilization has not been a pretty sight and will only get worse.

Ben Shapiro is their enforcer. Question Israel, and he comes for you

Tucker Carlson questioned it. Shapiro called him a “super spreader.”

Candace Owens questioned it. He went to war on her.

This week JD Vance touched the Epstein intelligence story on Rogan. Shapiro was attacking him inside 48 hours.

Then there’s Charlie Kirk. What started my entire follow the money on Shapiro and it’s dark.

In his final weeks, Kirk started questioning Israel. A pro-Israel billionaire named Robert Shillman reportedly pulled $2 million out of Turning Point to punish him. He routed it through a fund that erases his name, so the check can never be traced.

That same Shillman built Ben Shapiro’s career. In his own words: “With a pen and a checkbook, I provide ammunition.”

And it isn’t just Shillman. The Wilks brothers, the fracking billionaires who funded Shapiro’s Daily Wire, also funded Rob McCoy, Kirk’s own pastor, whose son worked inside Kirk’s operation.

So, Charlie Kirk wavered from the pro-Israel cause, and weeks later he was assassinated.

Ben Shapiro was then handed the opening slot at Kirk’s own convention and used it to call Israel skeptics “frauds and grifters.”

Now the part he hides. Shapiro doesn’t just take their money. He’s invested in Israel himself. He is the largest shareholder of an Israeli company that makes Covid Vaccines in the pill form, and he is the founder of a fund pouring money into Israeli tech. But, he doesn’t tell his audience this.

Full follow the money article is up on my Substack now (link in bio).

link

This is an OK take but remember Shapiro is just one person. He’s the public face of a huge gang or tribe of anti-American, anti-Western-civilization operators. Shapiro is worth knowing about and focusing on but he is also, to a large extent, a limited hangout. He draws attention away from a multitude of anonymous players who fund the gangs and their covert violence. The covert violence is the factor very few seem to understand or be willing to reckon with. Even Candace Owens on her last episode only lightly suggests there might be a Hollywood gang which controls the film and music industries. Stew Peters figured the other day that ‘thousands’, maybe even ‘100s of thousands’ of Westerners have been Charlie Kirked. Guys, no, the takeover has been massive — millions, tens of millions of Westerners have been covertly disabled before their careers ever took off. This has been happening for many decades and this is why the West is so weak and hopeless today. No Westerner ever gets anywhere unless they support the takeover (see USA Congress for irrefutable proof of this). Occasionally, someone rises despite the danger. Candace is probably one of them. Stew maybe also. Just look at the most recent influencers who claim they saw Robinson pull the trigger. They are all bs-artists, turncoats profiting on our downfall. Do the math: 10 million disablements of potential non-compliant Westerners over 80 years (since WW2 ended) is ‘merely’ 120,000 per year, plus or minus. If you disable or kill that many talented boys and young men, you will destroy a massive and powerful civilization in, lemme see, 80 years. That is a multi-generational covert military strategy, which costs next to nothing compared the the reward. ABN

Trump on election fraud and plans to disarm it

There is no doubt in my mind that USA commies and Dems have cheated in our elections. And there is no doubt in my mind that foreign nations helped them cheat, including China, Venezuela, Ukraine and more. And there is no doubt in my mind that many USA Republicans knowingly have looked the other way because they too benefit from the cheating. This, plus the covid bioweapon scamdemic, plus the deliberate migration invasion, plus Congress voting to surrender our military to Israel all prove USA is done for, finished, taken over and wiped out. We did well for 150 years. And died for good on our 250th birthday. I see no way forward from here. The USA will continue in name only, if at all. For many decades Congress has never done what a majority of the US public wants, but we still sort of limped along. But no more. USA and the entire West has so badly lost the asymmetric infiltration and parasitic destruction war waged against it, I see no way we can recover. ABN

JD Vance accuses Israel of secret plot against him and drops Mossad-Epstein bombshell in explosive Joe Rogan interview

JD Vance has claimed he is the target of an Israeli-funded propaganda campaign over his Iran peace push, and that Jeffrey Epstein had ties to the ‘highest levels’ of Mossad.

The Vice President made the explosive allegations during a nearly three-hour sit-down with podcaster Joe Rogan.

Vance pointed to a Time magazine report he said proved American influencers were being paid to attack the Iran deal. The report notes that money has flowed through a former Trump campaign operative and is bankrolled by elements of the Israeli government.

‘My response to that is, well, go to hell,’ Vance said of those taking the cash to smear him. The Vice President, who complained he has been branded an anti-Semite, declared that Israel is losing the public opinion battle in America. 

He also said that ‘figures’ inside the Israeli government are manipulating American public opinion to keep the war going ‘indefinitely.’ 

Vance then shifted to the administration’s handling of the Epstein scandal, revealing that the disgraced financier ‘clearly had connections to the highest levels of American intelligence’ and ‘Israeli intelligence.’

When Rogan noted that most people believe Epstein was working for Mossad, the Vice President did not dispute it.

Another great episode. This series is arguably the best investigative journalism in USA history because: 1) Candace was deeply involved with TPUSA and Charlie Kirk, and 2) she has inspired massive crowd-sourcing leading to a vivid mosaic of credible detail at all levels of this case. She is both emotionally invested in the murder of Charlie Kirk and meticulous in marshalling crowd-sourced information to reveal the very shady milieu of people in and around the top tier of TPUSA.

Analysis of Russian strategy in Ukraine — Larry Johnson

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has raised significant questions about Russia’s military effectiveness, particularly given its apparent supply superiority. A friend in the defense sector queried why Russian forces have struggled to achieve decisive territorial gains despite having a considerable advantage in resources. The initial objectives of the Russian invasion, as articulated by President Putin, were primarily to “demilitarize” Ukraine rather than to occupy its territories. This divergence from a full-scale invasion strategy has shaped Russia’s military operations, which have often been limited and focused on specific regions rather than a comprehensive assault on Ukrainian sovereignty.

Following the initial invasion, Russia did achieve some military successes, notably in capturing Mariupol and significant portions of Luhansk and Donetsk. However, these achievements were not indicative of an overall strategy to conquer Ukraine but rather aimed at creating enough pressure to bring Ukraine to the negotiation table. The situation escalated when negotiations faltered due to external influences from Western nations, leading to a shift in Russia’s military focus towards a more aggressive campaign in the eastern regions of Ukraine. Despite controlling a vast majority of Luhansk by September 2022, Russian forces faced challenges in maintaining momentum and faced significant setbacks during Ukraine’s counteroffensive in the Kharkiv region.

As the conflict progressed into 2023 and beyond, Russian operations became characterized by a high attrition strategy, focusing on maximizing damage to Ukrainian forces while minimizing Russian casualties. The Battle of Bakhmut emerged as a critical point in the war, symbolizing Russia’s attempt to regain lost ground while still adhering to its limited operational framework. Despite mobilization efforts, including the call-up of reservists, Russia maintained a strategic posture that avoided full national mobilization, which would entail a broader wartime commitment. This choice reflects a continued reliance on a professional military force rather than a mass mobilization.

Entering 2026, the dynamics of the conflict shifted once more, with Russia reportedly deploying around 700,000 soldiers in Ukraine. While this represents a significant increase in military commitment compared to the early stages of the conflict, Russia continues to operate under the guise of a Special Military Operation (SMO). The focus remains on capturing remaining Ukrainian strongholds in Donetsk, with analysts predicting that Russia could achieve these objectives soon. The strategic differences between the Russian and Ukrainian forces are stark; Russia possesses ample reserves and a vast artillery advantage, while Ukraine struggles with limited resources and a lack of strategic depth. Ultimately, the discussion pivots on the inevitability of Russian advances and the extent of territorial control it will exert over Ukraine, raising profound implications for the future of the region.
