One huge issue that at-war Europe is going to have but nobody seems to be mentioning is the fact that the 'newcomers' to Europe aren't going to be expected (and certainly won't volunteer) to go fight and die in Ukraine or wherever else.

So in effect they're importing a huge wave of 'immigrants' who are roughly military age, largely male, and who aren't loyal to the local government. Then the military aged men who ARE loyal to the government (and real citizens) will be shipped off to die elsewhere.........

I guess if the Great Replacement doesn't happen fast enough, they'll speed along the process......

It's all intentional. These so-called "leaders" are doing the bidding of the satanic globalists who pull their strings. Might as well loot the treasury on the way out. Same pattern with all western countries these past four years. Trump seems to be possibly giving the US a temporary reprieve.

It's a crazy idea (Satanists or Luciferians) but it makes sense. A healthy Europe and US has no need for globalists. Therefore they need a crisis (like nuclear war) or financial collapse to "save the planet" and provide a rationale for take over.

Only a very evil philosophy would think of societal collapse as a desired state on the way to a dystopia.

And they are CLEARLY corrupting and buying out the leadership of Europe.

I took a peek at their plans. It says ship actual German units to the Russian front. And "protect" the homeland with immigrant security units. By "protect" they mean put down civil protests and occupy Germany as the EU's Praetorian Guard.

With the true German alpha male trained fighting force unable to protect their own families and communities, in a meat grinder the destruction of Germany as a unique, independent state will be complete. It will have been assimilated.

What say Germans who have seen their plans? What will they do to prevent that? Asking as an American who knows that the same plan awaits Americans. And how much resistance Germans are able to muster will go a long way to informing all nations under the same evil spectre how far they can push us, how quickly can they get away with it, at what cost to them.

Hopeful that Germans make it too high a price to pay for these murderous demons to continue.

By far, the Soviet Union (20 - 27 million) experienced the most WWII deaths, followed by China (15 - 20 million). Germany and Poland were third and fourth (I've seen each country ranked third) with over 6 million deaths. It is the declining birth rate in the West, which commenced in the late 1960's that has caused the "need" to import immigrants. Westerners, along with Japan and South Korea, are not replacing a death with a birth of its citizens, much less growing its native population.

We face a similar dynamic in Canada. Enrolment in the military is so poor the government a few years back opened admissions to permanent residents but that didn't result in more recruits. Just now because of the crisis standards have been lowered to accept applicants with previously disqualifying conditions (asthma, ADHD and other conditions). As always the core of our military in Canada is white men, precisely the most dangerous group according to Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau. So they won't enroll.

A more important question is whether any native Europeans are willing to fight for "Europe", whether it be NATO, the EU, or the WEF.

I went back and grabbed this whole paragraph: "As I said, these are deeply serious people, and they also speak very seriously, in declarative sentences that don’t mean anything. In a publicity statement, von der Leyen said that these are “extraordinary times” which are a “watershed moment” for Europe and also a “watershed moment” for the Ukraine.” Such extraordinary watersheds require “special measures,” such as “peace through strength” and “defence” through “investment.” Top EU diplomat and leading Estonian crazy person Kaja Kallas for her part noted that “We have initiative on the table” and that she’s “looking forward to seeing Europe show unity and resolve.” Perhaps there will also be money in the ReArm Europe programme to outfit Brussels with an arsenal of thesauruses so we do not have to hear the same words all the time."

Perhaps the wider/bigger picture is why? It looks to me that fundamentally these govts are bankrupt - they desperately need to borrow further trillions - but have no collateral left, and plummeting credit ratings - soon nobody will want to lend.

So first they thought they could conquer russia, divvy up it's 70trillion+ natural resources, and use this to fuel future waves of borrowing. Fallback position was inventing mostly fictional mineral resources on Ukraine. Now that even that looks doubtful, it looks to me as though somehow they are trying to concoct an imaginary future military-industrial-growth as some kind of bizarre prospective collateral/basis on which to entice people to continue buying trillions more of their junk bonds...

Fundamentally Europe is bust - this militaristic fantasy looks to me like dedperate grasping at the final straw for how to enable further borrowing-based continuation of these zombie economies...

And you are hopefully right about climatism - they can print or borrow infinite money but they still can't build the tanks - because we no longer have a manufacturing industry - because we switched off all our energy supplies.

So...... if Germany and the rest of the EU decide to re-arm, where do you think they'll go for hardware? The manufacturing juggernaut of the past has pretty much hamstrung itself with an energy policy that borders on the absurd. Germany doesn't have enough energy to ramp up production on anything more than watching servers for Internet trolls that step out of line. That leaves the good old USA to sell those armaments. Not just sell, but FINANCE them as well. Otherwise, whatever the EU comes up with for a plan is just bluster.

Obviously, all of this comes much too late to make any difference to the Ukraine situation, fortunately.

And none of them wants to direct these weapons against the USA, that's just rhetoric and/as another selling point of the wasteful and totally unnecessary debt financed rearmament for the gullible public as long as the, by them and most of the European public, hated Trump&co are in charge, which they firmly believe will be at most another 4 years, effectively probably shorter, with a full return to progressive+neocon policies thereafter- in their view, not mine.

I am ever more convinced that this was, is and will remain a staged agenda-driven circus and psyop, including Trump&co as lead actors, and as with all the others from JFK, via the moon landing, 9/11 and Covid, it will work just fine for them.

Carl Sagan nailed it/the public:

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth.

Announcement: I am starting a substack.

It is three weeks until I am being deported to a frozen, curry-drenched shithole. As a way to distract myself from becoming an hero, I am going to start blogging.

The blog doesn't exist yet, so I can't tell you what it's called yet, but the tentative title is "Stranger In A Familiar Land". The theme of this blog is best described by the title: I am being sent back to a place that should be my home, but everything's fucked there and they don't even realize it, because of the whole "fish don't know what water is" thing.

Using this blog, I intend to document my daily life in shithole canada, and talk about how everything and everybody there is retarded. Hopefully I will be able to suppress my scorn enough to effectively communicate cross-border realities in both directions. As a Canadian who has been in the US for fucking ever, it blows my mind how casually ignorant each side is of the other, regarding subjects that you could trivially research in 30 seconds. And maybe, just maybe, I can play a small part in bridging that gap in understanding

(For a trivial example I've brought up a million times before, healthcare. On the American side, "oh my god you guys get free health care?". They don't understand that all kinds of things covered by US insurance is not covered by the Canadian system, and they don't understand that six month waits are common. On the Canadian side, "nobody goes bankrupt from paying a doctor", they don't understand that for ~80% of all Americans, they actually pay less in health insurance premiums than Canadians pay in additional taxes).

When it is live, I will pop in here under whatever new Substack account I make, and link to the blog (if that's ok; If crossposting and advertising my own stuff is rude here, I do not want to abuse the hospitality of our esteemed host). But given that like five of you have already told me to start one, I figured you'd want to know

Make that 6 people advising you to start a substack.

I think the Canadians deserve admiration for The Truckers. These truckers paid a high price- but accomplished everything they set out to do (although MSM would never admit that)

I was pissed that The Truckers didn't start in the States.

But it's early in The Game. There is a lot of time and space for heroism ahead

I have very mixed feelings about the truckers. I think they moved the needle of public opinion more than I thought it was possible to move in Canada. But I don't think they actually accomplished anything. The unfortunate reality, at least from what I can tell, is that the overwhelming majority of Canadians still believe The Narrative. There is growing discontent in Canada, but even amongst the people mad at how things are going, they still think it's essentially an anomaly in an otherwise good system, and if only we undid some of the specific problems, everything would be fine. They still believe the kayfabe.

There's two things about Canadians that are relevant here. The first is that the single most important thing to the Canadian psyche, the ONE Theory Of Canadians that explains almost everything, is the idea that "They are not Americans". It is of such critical importance to the Canadian to differentiate themselves from Americans, that they will knee-jerk do the opposite. Precisely BECAUSE Trump is shutting down the liberal control apparatus, the Canadians will double down on believing in it.

The second is that Canadians love following rules. They love order. They fear chaos. Americans, on the other hand, love chaos. Chaos is the raw material that you can build things from. Canadians don't like that. I've seen this over and over and over and over again: if there is some rule in Canada that is obviously retarded, people will openly say that it's obviously retarded, but they'll follow it anyway. "I mean, that's the rule, you have to follow the rule! If we ignored the rules, we'd be no different than Americans!". This might sound absurd to American readers, but this is an extremely important value to Canadians.

The reaction of the average Canadian to the trucker protest was "they might have a point, but they broke the rules! Don't they know they can't break the rules? If they really want to make change, they should work within the system and follow the rules!".

inb4 canadian readers here disagreeing with me: ALL of the Canadians reading this blog, are not average Canadians. They are in fact highly atypical Canadians. And I know that deep down inside, deep in your heart, you know that what I'm saying is true. Maybe not about you, but definitely about your friends and family.

Maybe you should just stay in the US — we certainly don’t need you in Canada.

Let's trade! He comes here; you go there.

If that is your attitude - "we certainly don’t need YOU in Canada."

Neither you nor I have a choice in the matter, but you can go fuck yourself too. Have fun being poor and gay.

Why are they deporting you?

Because I got fired and if you weren't born here, you need either a job or a marriage to stay here. And women don't like me.

Well, if women don’t like you, you could always try men… 😂

I’m kidding. Sort of.

My life would be so much easier if I was gay. I'm not, unfortunately

🤣🤣. People already constantly assume I'm gay and I have no idea why. They also assume I'm Jewish, but, that one I understand

Sorry to hear that buddy.

Is there no way to get citizenship after working for a while? Or are you under threat your whole working life?

I came here on a nonimmigrant visa, because it was easier than winning the H1B lottery. I am not allowed to apply for a green card on that visa.

I was on an H1B in 2021, and actively working towards green card sponsorship. I would have a green card by now, but in 2023 my shitlib tech employer decided to lay off all the white people to meet DEI goals, so that's gone.

The only viable path to permanent residency available to me is either marriage, or if I somehow make $5M to buy one of Trump's shiny new "Gold Cards"

I hate to say this, although it's the truth.

You could consider becoming a illegal.

Of course I know nothing about you, ignore if this idea is offensive

It's not offensive. Despite being pretty conservative, I sympathize a lot with the illegals because I know how petty and capricious US customs and border patrol can be.

That said, that's nowhere close to an option for me. A few reasons

First, I'm white, and I'm scared of the government. Brown people can get away with crime. I cannot. I will be Made An Example Of

But more practically, two other points

1) Everything about me is in their computer. They know that I lost my TN status on I don't remember which day, whatever day in January. They know that I am required to leave the country by March 26th. When I leave the country, they will have a record of it. If I don't leave the country by that date, somewhere, in some computer, they will know. And then, the next time I interact with the federal government, and they check that computer, it's Federal Fuck You In The Ass Prison for me. Becoming an illegal would mean, among other things, that I could never cross a TSA checkpoint (eg never fly in a plane) or the border (eg never see my family again), among other things

2) eVerify. I'm not a mexican who works construction under the table. I'm a software engineer. Every job that I get as a software engineer, the company's HR department is required by law to run eVerify on me to make sure I'm legally allowed to work there. If I became an illegal, those checks would fail, I would never work in software again, I would become impoverished for life, and if I ever tried to get a job, ICE would show up at my house and throw me in prison.

For better or for worse, I have to follow the rules
