Never before have so few, f**ked so much up, for so many. That is the current state of Ukraine and the cabal of retarded wannabe-Churchill's cheerleading the destruction of a hapless people caught between greed and the false bravado of strangers.

Behold the valiant man-lets and mean-girls of Europe, strutting around with their chests puffed out, waving the Ukrainian flag like it's the latest fashion accessory from Milan. From Brussels to Berlin proclaiming their undying solidarity that the sacred borders of Ukraine must be defended at all costs.

Yet whisper the word "borders" about their own nations and their bravado crumbles faster than a stale baguette. They're brave enough to poke the bear from afar, but when it comes to defending their own borders, cultures, and traditions?

Crickets.

Western Europe today is in the final grotesque act of a civilization that has lost its mind, its money, and—most fatally—its manhood.

Across the continent, the same tired cast of globalist flunkies yap about “European values” while demanding ever-larger blank checks for the bottomless pit called Ukraine. And they do all this while Kiev’s own generals and ministers are caught stuffing briefcases with money, buying Ferraris in Monaco, and installing gold-plated toilets in their dachas.

Yet even as the scandals pile higher the call goes out that we must prepare for war with Russia! We must reinstate conscription! We must be ready to send our sons to die so that Lockheed Martin can post another record quarter and Ursula von der Leyen can keep her job.

In France a general warned the nation to prepare to “lose its children” in a coming clash with Russia. Lose its children?

For what exactly?

So that the same regime that spent the last five years locking citizens in their homes, mandating experimental injections, and importing the Third World by the boatload can keep the eastern front supplied with fresh meat?

This is not strategy. This is hysteria disguised as resolve, the death rattle of elites who have run out of ideas. They sense the game is almost up. That the only way to save their sorry hides from the wrath of their own citizens is to direct that wrath eastward.

But was it Putin who locked people in their homes and forced experiment injections upon them?

Was it Putin who sent their industrial capacity to faraway lands?

Was it Putin who invited millions of foreigners hostile to European culture and values to invade?

Was it Putin who degraded their prospects for financial independence, home ownership, and family?

Was it Putin that denied the existence of Pakistani rape gangs and released convicted felons?

Was it Putin that had grandmothers arrested for Facebook posts?

Was it Putin who said no to every peace proposal of the past three years?

Or was it someone else?

And now, after three years of telling the European peoples that Russia was fighting with washing-machine chips and shovels, that victory was just one more $60 billion away, the lies and delusion have collided with reality: Russian flags farther west each week, and Ukrainian press-gangs dragging people off the streets because no one will volunteer to be turned into pink mist for Zelensky’s next villa.

And now the ghouls of the EU say they want to raise an army. But after fifty years of lecturing young men that patriotism is fascism, that borders are immoral, that violence never solves anything - those same elites now demand those same young men march off to die for what, precisely?

For the right of Blackrock to buy up Ukrainian land at a discount?

For the “right” of biological men to dominate women’s sports, and drag-queen story hour?

For the sacred project of turning London into Lahore, Stuttgart into Syria, and Kyiv into Karachi?

For the golden toilets of Ukrainian oligarchs?

No thanks. F**k you.

Young men who have been told since kindergarten that they are the problem, are not going to be shamed or bribed or threatened into putting uniforms on so that Raytheon shareholders can buy another yacht.

And they certainly aren’t going to do it for a Europe whose capitals now fly the rainbow flag higher than their own national colors, whose cathedrals have been turned into museums or mosques, and whose leaders speak of “European values” while importing millions who despise those values.

Ukraine itself provides the proof. When it has to send roving death squads to kidnap its own citizens off the streets because the volunteer flow has dried up, that regime has already lost the only war that matters: the war for the loyalty of its own people.

Western regimes are about to discover they lost that war decades ago.

World War III, if it comes, will be fought in maternity wards and voting booths, through wombs and ballots, not bombs and bullets. Not with soldiers marching to defend their homeland—because their homeland, as a living reality, no longer exists.

If the young men of Europa were to take up arms, they must aim upwards not abroad.

At their true enemies. The fools who presume to rule over them. Not a war between nations, not a war between brothers, but of the many against the few.

Unlikely? Yes. Somewhere between nil and zero. But perhaps the threat of revolution could stir a compromise. For after all there is a fresh supply of military-aged men that seems to renew itself with constant regularity.

Who better to die for the Western values than the invaders who pretend to be European? Why risk a single native son when you can hand an AK-47 to the gentleman who arrived last month on a dinghy, give him a crash course in which way the rifle points, and ship him off to the Donbas with a heartfelt “Welcome to Europe—now go bleed for it”?

It’s the ultimate progressive twofer: clear the migrant hostels, virtue-signal about Ukraine, and if the new recruits happen to get vaporized by a hypersonic missile, well… fewer integration problems back in Malmö.

They can even spin the body bags as proof of successful inclusion: “Look, Ahmed from Aleppo gave his life for LGBT rights and female empowerment—he truly became European!” Never mind that the only Ukrainian phrase he ever learned was “where is free money?”

Of course, the same politicians who called their own citizens “far-right extremists” for wanting border controls will now call those same citizens “cowards” for not volunteering to fight for someone else's border.

But why should Pierre or Hans enlist when there are hundreds of thousands of military-age guests who’ve been telling everyone how much they “love Europe” while living on benefits and occasionally burning a few cars for emphasis?

If they love it so much, let them prove it the old-fashioned way: facedown in a frozen trench outside Kharkiv. After all, it’s only fair. Europe asked for open borders and replacement migration; now Europe can have open coffins and replacement casualties.

The leaders get to keep their sons at climate conferences in Dubai while the new Europeans discover that “European values” apparently include dying for a continent that wouldn’t even give them a work permit. What a deal. Truly, the ultimate expression of solidarity: “We stood with Ukraine… by sending Mohammed to die for it.”

"He who digs a pit for others falls into it himself." *

By Oskat Lafontaine, German politician of SPD, Die Linke, BSW

"He who digs a pit for others falls into it himself," says a proverb. The European warmongers in politics and journalism, who have been digging a pit for Ukrainians and Russians for almost four years, are now falling into it themselves. "And if all others believed the lie propagated by the (war) party — if all records said the same — then the lie entered history and became truth," wrote George Orwell. Did he perhaps foresee to what extent the propagandists of lies themselves would become victims of their own narrative?

For years, they have denied that NATO's eastward expansion almost inevitably led to the war in Ukraine. The Russians do not want Western troops and US missiles on their border. For years, propagandists have denied that Obama and Biden financed the Maidan coup in 2014 and that installing a US puppet government in Kyiv led to the civil war in the Russian-speaking eastern Ukraine with 14,000 deaths. For four years, they have lied to Ukrainians and Europeans by claiming that increasing Western arms deliveries are enabling Ukraine to defeat Russia.

Shameless demands

Now they are stuck in their own pit of lies and cannot get out without losing face. And because they fear the public will someday realize to what extent they have been harmed and deceived, they want to continue and torpedo Donald Trump's peace negotiations.

Trump is anything but a peacemaker. Unlike Merz, Macron, and Starmer, he has recognized that the war in Ukraine is lost for the West and that one cannot force or provoke a nuclear power too much when it comes to its security. That is why he wants out and, as a dealmaker, after securing access to Ukraine's rare earths, also wants to profit from the reconstruction. He makes shameless demands on the EU, and Europeans cannot embrace him because they, trapped in their lies, are unable to present the US president with the long-overdue bill. The USA bears the main responsibility for this war and should therefore be the first to cover rebuilding costs.

As was also stated on May 16, 2023, in the New York Times, the American weapons industry wanted this war and ultimately got it. Yet Europe is supposed to pay the bill? One only had to read and listen to George Kennan, Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Richard Burns, and many other US politicians to know where the neocon-driven foreign policy, under which four percent of the world population is supposed to rule the world, would lead. But European warmongers in politics and journalism have closed their eyes and ears. The US arms industry has made billions.

Policy of confrontation

The US energy industry sells its expensive gas to Europe, and America also wants to make good money from Ukraine's reconstruction. Europeans pay with pointless, gigantic rearmament, too expensive energy, increasing deindustrialization, bear the lion's share of refugee costs, and now, as if possessed, want to admit Ukraine into the EU. Ursula von der Leyen or Kaja Kallas have often proven they do not understand what a billion is, but is there no one in the Brussels administration who can count to three and knows basic arithmetic?

We can be grateful that in Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Spain, there are politicians who keep their populations' interests in mind and prevent the worst at the European level. The US withdrawal, uncoordinated with the Europeans as in Afghanistan, will prevent von der Leyen, Merz, Macron, Starmer, and the other warmongers from continuing their megalomaniac policy of confrontation with a nuclear power, without which there can be no peace in Europe.

The sad realization remains: It will not be compassion for the victims that ends this far-too-long war, but the business interests of a real estate tycoon who, as US president, unlike Obama and Biden, recognized that pushing Russia and China into an ever-closer strategic partnership was a grave mistake.

The game is rigged *

 [a FB post by James Deakin 6 December 2025]

"It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."

Thomas Sowell.

In 2006, Al Gore stood before millions and painted a picture of catastrophe. Citing climate scientists, he warned the world that the Arctic ice cap could be completely gone in summer months as soon as 2014—maybe even 2013.

His film, An Inconvenient Truth, which won an Oscar for Best Documentary in 2007, was even played in schools as some kind of mandatory conditioning program. Teachers dimmed the lights. Children watched glaciers calve into the sea and went home afraid to turn on lights, convinced their carbon footprint might tip the scale.

Governments reacted. Carbon taxes were introduced, renewable-energy mandates popped up everywhere, entire industries were restructured, and trading desks made billion-dollar bets on a future without Arctic ice.

2013 came. The ice remained.

2014 came. Still there.

No press conference. No acknowledgment. Just new predictions, new deadlines pushed further out.

It’s now 2025. Almost twenty years have passed since the grim prediction, and the Arctic isn’t ice-free. In fact, in 2024 it had 890,000 square kilometers more ice than in 2012.

Now scientists explain it away: “ocean currents were weaker,” “natural variations,” “20% chance of this happening.” Always an explanation after the fact. Never accountability for the prediction before it.

Gore’s net worth when he made the film? Around $2 million. Today? Over $300 million—climate consulting, green investment funds, speaking fees of $100,000+ per appearance. The failed predictions made him rich.

Then came March 2020.

“Two weeks to flatten the curve,” they said. Imperial College’s Neil Ferguson projected 2.2 million American deaths if we didn’t lock down. The experts were certain.

So society stopped—not gradually, not voluntarily, but by force of law. Businesses shuttered. Children stayed home for a year, some longer. Weddings were cancelled. Funerals limited to ten people. A grandmother died alone because the models said visitors would kill others. A restaurant owner lost everything he’d built over thirty years because the prediction said it was necessary.

The vaccine arrived with promises just as certain: “Get vaccinated, stop the spread.” The President said it. The CDC Director said it. You couldn’t enter a restaurant in New York or a mall in Manila without proof. People lost jobs for declining. The prediction was clear: vaccination stops transmission.

Except it didn’t. That fact emerged quietly, months later, in footnotes and revised guidance. No apologies to those fired. Just movement to the next message.

The two weeks became two years. The millions of projected deaths never materialized. Sweden didn’t lock down and didn’t see catastrophe. Florida opened early and didn’t collapse. When reality diverged from the forecast, those who’d demanded the sacrifice simply moved on.

To what? Pfizer’s CEO saw his compensation hit $33 million in 2022. Anthony Fauci retired with a roughly $15 million net worth and a $350,000 annual pension—the highest in federal government history. The consulting firms that advised lockdowns? Billions in government contracts.

The restaurant owner? Bankrupt. The fired nurse? Still unemployed. The children who lost two years of education? Still catching up.

But this pattern runs deeper

In 2003, the most powerful government on earth stood before the United Nations. Colin Powell held up a vial and described mobile biological-weapons laboratories. Satellite photos. Intelligence reports. The certainty was absolute.

“We know that Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction,” Cheney declared. Not “we believe”—we know.

The prediction demanded action. 4,500 American soldiers died. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis died. Two trillion dollars spent. An entire region destabilized for a generation.

The weapons didn’t exist. They never existed.

Not only did nobody go to prison; the architects wrote memoirs, collected speaking fees, taught at universities, and appeared on television as foreign-policy experts. Cheney’s net worth grew from around $30 million to over $100 million before he died. Halliburton, the company he formerly ran, received $39.5 billion in Iraq-related contracts.

The soldier who died searching for weapons that didn’t exist? His family got a folded flag.

Even the children were used

In June 2018, a teenage girl shared an article: “A top climate scientist is warning that climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years.”

Five years. That meant 2023.

Greta Thunberg was a relative nobody then. But the conveniently apocalyptic prediction became gospel. She addressed the UN, met world leaders, and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize while governments accelerated green mandates.

2023 came. Humanity persisted.

And quietly, between March 7 and March 13, 2023, the original article (and references to the five-year claim) disappeared from the internet. No explanation. No accountability.

She was 15 when the claim went viral. But watch how quickly she learned the game. By 20, she was lecturing world leaders. By 21, she’d built a brand worth millions. The failed prediction didn’t hurt her; Time Magazine declared her Person of the Year in 2019.

This is the system teaching the next generation how it works.

But here’s the pattern you’re not supposed to notice

Elite authority makes catastrophic prediction. Media amplifies without question. Prediction demands immediate sacrifice from ordinary people. Society restructures; costs imposed on the working and middle class. Elites profit from the restructuring. Prediction fails. No consequences for elites. Same authorities make new predictions. Rinse, spin dry, repeat.

Every single time, the people who make the predictions get richer. Every single time, the people forced to comply get poorer.

This isn’t incompetence. Incompetent people don’t keep getting promoted. Incompetent people don’t get richer every time they’re wrong. Incompetent people don’t maintain their platforms after being catastrophically wrong again and again.

This is a feature, not a bug.

Because the pension fund manager who divested from energy at the wrong time? Lost his job.

The small manufacturer crushed by compliance costs? Bankrupt.

The salon owner who lost her business for opening two weeks early? Homeless.

The nurse fired for declining a vaccine that didn’t stop transmission? Career destroyed.

The soldier who died searching for weapons that didn’t exist? Dead.

Meanwhile: Al Gore, richer. Fauci, richer. Pfizer executives, richer. Defense contractors, richer. Cheney, richer. The politicians, still in office. The consultants, more contracts. Greta Thunberg, international celebrity.

They are never held accountable because the system is designed to protect them.

You can’t vote out the CDC. You can’t fire the UN climate panel. You can’t sue Al Gore for the money your pension fund lost. You can’t get your business back after the lockdowns. You can’t get those years of your children’s education back.

But they can make another prediction tomorrow. And each time, you’ll be told: comply or face consequences. When they’re wrong, they face nothing.

The game is rigged

They’ve discovered the perfect con: Make apocalyptic predictions. Demand sacrifice. Profit from the compliance. When the apocalypse doesn’t come, make a new prediction. The only people who ever pay are the ones who either complied or refused to comply.

This is about power maintaining itself—a class of people who have insulated themselves from consequences while ensuring everyone else absorbs maximum risk.

It’s time to stop playing along. This only works when everyone is complicit and doesn’t demand accountability.

So when the next prediction comes—and believe me, it’s coming—ask yourself:

Who profits if I comply?

Who pays if they’re wrong?

Have these people ever been held accountable before?

What happens to me if I don’t comply versus what happens to them if they’re wrong?

The answers will tell you everything you need to know.

They’re counting on you not noticing the pattern. They’re counting on your fear, your compliance, your trust in institutional authority. They’re counting on you believing that this time, it’s different.

It’s never different.

The elites make predictions. The elites profit. The elites face no consequences. The pattern repeats.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. But fool me with the same script, the same players, the same outcome, decade after decade?

That’s not deception anymore. That’s permission.
