[Order David Horowitz’s new book, America Betrayed, HERE.]
Just as increasing numbers of Americans, in response to such outrages as the disastrous Biden economy and the unending invasion at the southern border, appear to be shedding their distaste for Donald Trump, more and more Western Europeans, mostly in response to mass Islamic immigration, are rejecting their globalist elites and turning to the right. A month ago I wrote here about New York Times columnist Roger Cohen’s hysteria about the rise of the so-called “far right” in Europe – an attitude that is, needless to say, representative of legacy-media views. Well, this past weekend – specifically, from Thursday, June 6, through Sunday, June 9 – a great many Europeans, casting their votes in the elections for the 705-seat European Parliament (EP), affirmed their support for that fearful “far right.” Not all of the results, but a great many of them, have proven unsettling both to the leftist poobahs in Brussels and to their minions in the mainstream media, and those results provide at least a smidgen of hope that, when it comes to individual freedom and national sovereignty, the continent of Europe ain’t down yet.
To be sure, Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, claimed that her so-called “center” – meaning the heart and soul of the EU establishment – had held the line against the “extremes” – meaning, on the one hand, outright Commies, and, on the other, a tiny number of actual right-wing radicals but mostly just proud patriots who don’t like being governed by unelected Brussels technocrats and don’t like seeing their countries transformed by mass (and largely illegal) immigration. Most commentators, however, appeared to have a very different take on the election results than von der Leyen. The Associated Press, for example, spoke of “strong electoral gains for the hard right” – “hard right,” of course, meaning anyone who seeks to strengthen national sovereignty and put a halt to the ever-increasing power of the open-borders globalists. “Voters across Europe,” observed Douglas Murray, “are fed up with being told not to notice mass immigration or not to object.” And Politico (the European one, not the American one) concluded that “Europe’s center of political gravity is veering to the right.” Hurrah.
Following the lead of Nigel Farage – who presided over the campaign to take Britain out of the EU from inside the EU itself, sitting as a member of the EP for two decades – many of Europe’s right-wing political heavyweights, including Wilders, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, and France’s Marine Le Pen, as the AP put it, want “more power in the European Parliament” precisely so that they “can weaken it from within.” And the election results – which began to be released on Sunday night, Central European Time, after the Dutch voted on Thursday, the Irish and Czech on Friday, and everyone else on the weekend – encourage one to hope that these rebels against EU tyranny may well be able to pull it off, to some extent at least.
As with all bloated, power-hungry bureaucracies, the EU’s parliamentary structure is complicated, and the election results can be looked at from multiple perspectives. Most of the national parties that are represented in the EP belong to one of several different groups, or caucuses, based not on nationality but on shared political orientation, and it’s illuminating to see how these groups fared in the election. As of Monday afternoon, the projected results differed, depending on which source you consulted, but according to the latest numbers at the Guardian, the Radical Left group (GUE-NGL), which includes Ireland’s Sinn Fein and 19 other parties, many of them overtly Communist, is expected to lose one seat, dropping to 36. The Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (S&D), a large group made up largely of parties with the word “Labour” or “Social Democratic” in their names, dropped by five seats to 134. The Greens/European Free Alliance (Grn/EFA) lost big, plunging by 19 seats to 53.
So much for the left. Moving to the center, the Renew group, consisting of no fewer than 47 more or less centrist parties, fell from 102 seats to 79. The center-right European People’s Party (EPP), which is the largest of the seven parliamentary groups and which is dominated by Germany’s Christian Democratic Union crept up from 176 seats to 186, an increase that von der Leyen pointed to by way of substantiating her claim of centrist victory: “We won the European elections, my friends,” she told a gathering of EPP members. “We are the strongest party, we are the anchor of stability.” Of course, in the corridors of EU power, words like “stability” and “continuity” and “order” are far more popular than words like “freedom” and “liberty.”
Which brings us to the groups at least some of whose members might fairly be characterized as anti-establishment, nationalist, and/or eurosceptic. The European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), whose 20 member parties include France’s Reconquest, Alliance Germany, and the Sweden Democrats, rose from 69 to 73. The Identity and Democracy group (ID), which includes the Freedom Party of Austria, Belgium’s Flemish Interest (Vlaams Belang), the Czech Republic’s Freedom and Direct Democracy, the Danish People’s Party, the Conservative People’s Party of Estonia, France’s National Rally, Italy’s League (Lega), and Wilders’s Party for Freedom, leaped from 49 to 50 votes. And the Non-Aligned parties (NI), including the Netherlands’ Forum for Democracy (founded by Thierry Baudet), the Alternative for Germany, and Hungary’s ruling Fidesz, got 46.
Looking at the results group-by-group may not be too encouraging. But there’s another way to slice the pie, and that’s to look at the results country-by-country. And the fact is that in the Netherlands, Geert Wilders’s Party for Freedom (PVV) – which won big in last year’s Dutch elections and is now the leading player in the new government in The Hague – had another red-letter day. In the last elections for EP, the PVV won only one seat; it’s now expected to hold seven out of the Netherlands’ 34 seats – placing it one seat short of a three-party (Green-Left-Labor) alliance headed by Frans Timmermans. Timmermans claimed victory, but Wilders convincingly announced that where the Dutch vote was concerned, there was “only one big winner” in the EP elections – the PVV. In Italy, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy Party, which until recently was a tiny, marginal phenomenon, received 28% of the vote, taking it from 10 to 23 of Italy’s 76 seats and giving it the country’s largest EP delegation.
The Alternative for Germany, which is strongly eurosceptic but which has some ticklish issues that are, shall we say, a tad too reminiscent of the unpleasant old days of the 1930s and 40s, won big, receiving 16% of the German vote, compared with a mere 11% in the last EP elections in 2019. Thanks largely to strong support from voters in former East Germany, it will now hold more of Germany’s 96 seats – 16, up from nine — than the ruling Social Democrats, making it Germany’s second largest party in the EP. Meanwhile Germany’s Greens tumbled from 20.5% of the German vote in 2019 to 12%. (Across Europe, in fact, the Green parties did horribly.) There were stunning results in Austria, too, where the populist Freedom Party came out on top, doubling its number of seats from three to six out of a total of 20, putting it one seat ahead of both the Social Democrats and the People’s Party, a Christian Democratic body.
But the most thrilling news of all, perhaps, came in France and Belgium. In France, which has 81 seats in the EP, President Emmanuel Macron’s Renaissance Party performed so calamitously – receiving 15.2% of the vote as compared to eurosceptic Marine Le Pen’s National Rally’s 31.5% (Europe’s Politico called it “a crushing victory”) – that Macron made a shocking announcement: he quickly dissolved the French Parliament and called for new elections, to be held in two stages, on June 30 and July 7. Le Pen, whose party’s delegation in the EP will be led by a rising young political star named Jordan Bardella, welcomed Macron’s announcement, adding that the results of the election should be seen as marking “an end to this painful epoch of globalism.” Two neat tidbits: one, the National Rally proved to be especially strong among the young, with more than one in three Frenchmen under 24 casting their votes for Bardella; two, in all of France, only the voters of Paris supported Macron, with the entire rest of the country going for the National Rally.
Belgium, with 22 seats, underwent an even more dramatic shake-up: in the wake of a terrible showing by his Liberal Party in the face of conservative opposition – it came in eleventh (!), with the long demonized Vlaams Belang, a fierce opponent of mass Islamic immigration, in first place – Prime Minister Alexander De Croo announced that he would resign on Monday. Good start. May others of his useless ilk also withdraw into embarrassed anonymity and let their places be taken by courageous citizens who are determined to rescue their countries, their cultures, and their freedoms from devastation.
The alliance between the radical left and Islam reminds me of the pact between stalin and Hitler in August 39. They both have a common enemy western civilization with its belief in individual rights.
Wonder how long that one will last?
Ultimately, the Muslims will betray the left.
Despite being the strangest of bedfellows, they both want to undermine capitalism and Christianity.
hitler also met and planned with antisemtic arabs for whatever they can do to help anhilate the Jewish race – yes – Jews are a race not just an religion or ethnicity.
A race? Tell that to the Black, Asian, Hispanic, and Indian Jews who attended our synagogue.
Please, take your foolishness elsewhere.
I guess that you also see muslims as a “race”.
How depressing!
In other words they pine for the days of yore before America existed where if you were not a blue blood you were either a subject, a peon or a slave living a meager existence or dead.
Notions of liberty, freedom and justice are not universally held ideals. Apparently many people are quite comfortable with a ruling class (blue bloods and otherwise) lording over them and autocratic rule. America was the exception but that’s changing.
I’ve long thought that the world is drifting back to the way it was before America existed. The pace is quickening. The next, and final, world war will put an end to all notions of liberty, freedom and justice.
Pay attention Liberal this is the European People who just gave the boot to the UN/Greens and Globalists especially to Schwabe and his WEF/CFR/Globalists they said No Big Brother and America needs to do the same in November with Biden and the DNC/CFR/Globalists as well
I find it funny to see the media calling parties that are pro-abortion, pro-gay, socialist economically etc to be “far right”. If you believe a country should be sovereign and against mass colonization then you are now “far right”.
Weird.
Waking up?? Not untill the Eurotrash governments deport all the muslims.
They will never be deported but if they are encouraged to work for the country they live in, they will probably leave of their own accord.
I doubt it. They are worming their way into positions of higher power, such as political office, to “overtake” countries from the inside-out. They don’t seem to mind working for the countries they have invaded, because it affords them the opportunity to become more deeply entrenched en masse like a bunch of chiggers. All you have to do is look around and see how many of these radical muslims have been voted into office in places like England and others, while they spout hateful and dangerous rhetoric (yet people cheer). That is the goal of their religion: to migrate and then hijack and overtake from within. Once that happens, they begin mass-conversions of people and we’re stuck with a hijab-wearing society with a handy slogan of, “Convert or Die.” Even if many of them are deported or they leave of their own accord, they can easily just come across the border of the United States (which they have already begun to do) and work on transforming it next. As a western civilization, we’re in bad, bad shape and the cancerous tumor of mass illegal immigration is likely a terminal case, in my opinion.
England does indeed appear to be gone–certainly, London is. It makes me want to weep.
William seems like a smart lad. Hopefully Kate will get through her medical travails. Then William should take the time to think whether there is more that he can do for his country then just be a figurehead for tourism promotion purposes.
Interest free loans to muslims via the Sharia banks in the west (none of which in muslim countries have as much cash nor who give it up as freely) gives them a major financial weapon compared to us so that the average muslim can pay his house off in <10 years easily and can finish up owning 3 or 4 homes a good start towards a middle-class future.
Of course, that is IF they actually work for a living.
BTW the MSM did an interview 15 years ago with a muslim who described all this openly so it is factual not opinion.
One way to encourage work would be to cut the welfare support. There’s no reason to provide immigrants generous welfare support – and for multiple wives too – including free housing. I recall a few years ago reading of one North African who found “asylum” in Holland, together with his four wives and 20 children. They were on welfare, of course.
Globalism will not end until the UN is defunded.
I see the UN hosting the antichrist heralding satan as the Christ – this will happen
The antichrist is not Satan. He will go to Jerusalem and for some time be welcomed and cheered as the leader who brought peace, but later, he will demand to be worshipped as God, and his cruelty will be without limits.
We will leave anti-liberal socialo-statism, to enter anti-liberal socialo-statism. The RN is not a conservative party and its economic program is not a conservative program, but on the left. And Marine Le Pen considers Karl Marx as a great thinker.
Statism, when you hold them.
Great……
Fake news definition of terms
Normal – one who is 3000 yards out in far left field
Centrist – one who is 5 yards less left than the above line
Rightist – one who is 5 yards less left than the above line
Far right – one who is 5 yards less left than the above line
My spin on the above
Normal – one who is 3000 yards out in far right field – ie – a libertarian capitalist (<– me)
Centrist – one who is 5 yards less right than the above line
Leftist – one who is 5 yards less right than the above line
Far left – one who is 5 yards less right than the above line
Seems the Europeans are starting to realize that being ruled over by stuffy bureaucrats stinks, and the prospect of being ruled over by a coalition of communists, Islamists and angry young men who are illiterate and unable to speak their countries’ languages, is even worse. Maybe they do not want any kind of Euro-Hamas in charge after all.
Good news from Europe for a change. But with Muslims gaining ascendancy
in Western Europe, the Europeans might find themselves having to fight both
them and the commie globalists in ways that are not just political – if they can.
The slowly awakening European masses are in more danger than they realize.
Indeed, there is already a significant percentage of the population working against the formerly modern nations.
If you watch CNN and MSNBC the panicked pansies pretending to be reporters sound like they are seeing Nazis taking over in Europe. Every other phrase out of their pie holes is far “right this” and that. Of course these clowns never seem to equate their politics with the far left, which is basically Communism.
I don’t for one minute entertain 30 seconds of paying attention to the main sleaze media whores of the deep state
Good for you Muggsie Spongie
“Waking up”? Yes!
Doing something that actually SOLVES the problem with or without bloodshed?
You have to be kidding!
Most western countries are full of people who want someone else to die for their right to be gay, transgender, vegan, atheist etc etc. and who have no intention of dying for their right to be “different”. They will be the first to convert while their differences won’t be so obvious anymore. Even those who see themselves as patriots are often too used to comfort, running water and good food to want a sustained war to remove such problems. The west is spoilt and decadent and it will take a lot of huevos at both the top and the bottom to solve this.
But this IS a start. So let us hope.
I see the leftists in France threw their little Tantrum because they lost typical reaction from Bolsheviks
Populist-nationalists across Europe are driving a stake through the heart of vampire liberalism…at long last.
This shows the planet of human beings cannot be fooled all the time – they went too far and people see it’s not right and it’s total BS, lies and we are suffering terribly with no end in sight – so the first act is to vote – if that doesn’t work, it’s only natural the humans go into revolutions – I’m guessing this normal psychology is at hand in USA and President Trump will win in a landslide. All the Hail Mary passes of the current coup d’etat regime in USA with their stooge puppet fool deep state who crooked demented Joe Briben being installed by the coup is only going to illuminate their failures and treason against the people and Constitution of the United States. Historically, evil never is sustainable and good always prevails. Why? Because this is YHVH’S creation and HIS WILL! Justice is met on earth and there are no unsolved mysteries or evil in Paradise and Eternity. aka Heaven.
The Story that Colorado Media Refuses to Report: Denver (Islamic) Connections to 9/11
If Colorado authorities and the media are willing to cover up the involvement of local Islamic leadership with 9/111, covering up the Islamist motivation in the King Soopers murders is easy to believe.
Perhaps one of the most shocking, cynical, dangerous and cowardly cover-ups in the history of American journalism is the Colorado and especially Denver’s media refusal to investigate and report on the extensive involvement of Colorado based actors in 9/11. While none of the 9/11 hijackers are known to have traveled to Colorado, pre-9/11 communications between bin Laden and Al Qaeda operatives in the US and several Colorado based actors were key to 9/11 including one that the FBI considered at “the heart of the 9/11 story.” Shockingly, while downplaying or ignoring altogether the Colorado connection to 9/11, the media has become a shill for the Denver organization whose members likely played a major role in the event.
After 14 years of pressure, the Obama Administration finally declassified a heavily redacted version of the 28 missing pages of the 9/11 report. The redacted version did not mention names such as Anwar al-Awlaki, that had been mentioned as being in the 28 pages by a 60 Minutes report on the subject. Awlaki, who was born in New Mexico, the son of New Mexico State University professor who had been born in Yemen. Awlaki attended Colorado State University in Fort Collins, where he was President of the Muslim Student Association. He later served as Imam (Islamic minister) at the Denver Islamic Society on Birch Street just south of Evans Avenue.
In the months prior to 9/11 Awlaki left Denver and became the spiritual advisor to two of the 9/11 hijackers that had summered in San Diego and met with three others who were in Fall Church, Virginia and attended the notorious Saudi financed mosque there. It was also reported that Awlaki was in constant contact with the Saudi embassy in the months immediately prior to 9/11. An FBI agent had said that he felt that Awlaki was “at the heart of the 9/11 story.”
When in 2002, al Awlaki attempted to flee the US to avoid answering more questions about 9/11 he was briefly detained at JFK airport in New York, accused of passport fraud before being released to a Saudi government representative. Awlaki then fled to the UK and two years thereafter to Yemen.
Personally, and totally IMHO I believe that Bush, the CIA and the FBI all knew (at the top) about the coming 9/11 but that the elite who controlled Bush and were unhappy that daddy did not “finish the job” with Hussein to remove him by war and thus totally destabilize the ME. Just like Clinton did with Ghaddafi. So Bush jnr needed an excuse and he was given one.
The current mess in the ME and the invasion of the west was the AIM of the elite as Hussein for all of his faults kept the ME stable and Iran behaving. I wonder what was in the package.
There is a precedent here as in 1941 a Dutch submarine spotted the Japanese fleet on its way the Pearl harbour and radioed the message to the Royal navy base at Singapore. When they docked at Singapore, they were closely guarded and not allowed to speak to anyone and then sent to Australia to carry an “important package: and were never seen again. Japanese records show that they had nothing to do with the loss.
Now FDR wanted to support “dear ol’ Joe” and wanted the USA to join the war as did the rest of the elite as it made them even richer. But the house majority wanted to stay isolated, and FDR needed a good excuse to persuade them. 3000+ US military dead was enough plus of course some ?100 Dutch seamen. This is how the elite manipulate, and FDR NOT harry Hopman who always is blamed) gave Stalin enriched uranium and not a little other secret help that would have appalled Churchill had he known
Spoiled Leftists/Globalists Brats threw their little Tantrums because the Citizens of Europe don’t agree with their Globalists Ideologies
Love of country is being reinvented across Europe these days, and national conservatives have become a revolutionary force. Revolutionary conservatives! We are all scared, either by the war in Ukraine, by Iran’s coming of nuclear capability, of mass immigration from muslim countries, of losing one’s country to weird cultures , and to unelected globalists in the European Union. Enemies within, hostile cultures and antinational politicians. And also surrounded by enemies. Our splendid statesman- politicians have driven Europe astray, carried along on incompetent voters for decades. The hour is late. Only the national conservatives can turn the tide. Uphill bloody fighting ahead!
“.. right-wing radicals” in Europe? Nah! True, the people are beginning to resent the muslim invasion, the lousy economies, the insecurity, the lack of justice, but they haven’t yet reached the no-return point which would make them override their fear of resisting/fighting. Besides, European countries lack leaders able and willing to gather crowds and take some meaningful actions – they have Gert Wilder in the Netherlands, hopefully for a long time, and that’s about it. Sad.
