The EU is Over

Zerohedge contemplates the recent announcement of a meeting between the Presidents of the USA and Russia:

Following the announcement of a trade deal with the EU at his golf resort in Turnberry, Scotland, peace talks in the Ukraine conflict with Russian President Vladimir Putin are now scheduled in Alaska.

The venue of a negotiation often predefines the balance of power between opponents. In that sense, it must be read as a clear show of force that both European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer — notably without military fanfare — traveled to Trump’s private resort in Turnberry to be politically “placed” by the American president. Judging by the outcome of those talks, one conclusion is unavoidable: the European Union no longer plays in the league of the great powers. Washington’s interest in intra-European affairs has noticeably cooled, focusing essentially on two things: an orderly withdrawal from military entanglements, and the defense of US corporate interests in the EU single market.

We are witnessing a shift of power from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

It’s hardly a secret: China and the United States will be setting the standards of international politics in the future. Russia, the world’s most resource-rich country, may be labeled by Europeans as a pariah state and a malicious hub of all evil — but that does not change the fact that the age of postcolonial European dominance is ending, and Moscow will have no trouble playing its resource-market cards outside the shrinking European sphere of influence.

He’s correct. The EU was established to serve as a counterweight to the economic and military power of the United States, but as events have demonstrated, it’s nothing more than a democratically-illegitimate, militarily-toothless, economically-fragile, and diplomatically-irrelevant non-governmental organization without sovereignty.

The sooner that the unaligned nations realize this and abandon both the EU and the Euro, the better off they will be. And the sooner the member states follow the British lead and extricate themselves from the moribund supranational morass, the better off they will be.

Russia Bans International Satanism

The media is portraying this recent judicial action as the banning of a fictitious, imaginary, and non-existent group.

Russia’s highest court has declared the “international satanism movement” an extremist and terrorist group, despite the organization not actually existing. Members of this non-existent group could face up to eight years in prison.

Senior MP Andrei Kartapolov, who heads the Russian parliament’s defense committee, made unverified claims that Western funding was fueling satanism in Russia, posing a “direct threat to Russian statehood.” This ruling by the Kremlin’s Supreme Court on the imaginary movement is the latest in President Vladimir Putin’s series of crackdowns on ideological dissent in Russia.

It follows his characterization of the war in Ukraine as a holy battle against the “satanic” West.

The Prosecutor General’s Office issued a statement describing the non-existent “satanist” group as one “based on extremist ideology, hatred and hostility toward traditional religious confessions.” The fictitious movement was also accused of causing “destruction, damage and desecration” of Russian Orthodox churches.

It would be wise for President Trump to issue an executive order doing the same. I just wonder how long it will take before the media starts shrieking about the banning of this non-existent group being anti-semitic?

Most people don’t realize that China already did this starting back in 2010, although it’s usually just portrayed as a campaign against “Western values”.

The Russia That Will Say No

Hal Turner contemplates the significance of the US Special Envoy’s trip to Moscow:

What does Witkoff bring to Moscow?

  • Cosmetic concessions, presumably in the area of de facto territorial recognition
  • Hints of economic cooperation
  • Classic threats of sanctions – if Moscow doesn’t “give in”

What Witkoff won’t do:

Accept the Russian minimum demands which are . . .

  • Recognition of the new regions (Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporozhe) as part of Russia.
  • Demilitarization and neutrality of Ukraine.

He won’t accept them because that would mean: The West would have lost. And the world would have seen it.

Scenario: A Russian “no” to Witkoff’s offer would most likely not simply lead to a new low in negotiations – but to Phase II of a global systemic conflict. Then the world would no longer be in the shadow of a unipolar center, but in a new bipolar confrontation.

On the one side: The expanded West – that is, the NATO states, the EU, plus Australia, Japan, South Korea, and some dependent partners in the Global South.

On the other side: An emerging counterweight – with Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and possibly other members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

In this scenario, it is only a matter of time before the previously “frozen” conflict over Taiwan also actively emerges – as the next geopolitical leverage in the struggle for influence, sovereignty, and system dominance.

Conclusion: Witkoff’s trip is not a diplomatic exchange – It is an attempt to delay the end of the unipolar world order.

This smacks of a desperate Hail Mary thrown by the Short Fake Trump fake administration, and I see absolutely no sign that Russia is inclined to accept anything short of its core demands because it is winning both the economic war and the military war. Everyone, and especially the Russians, has learned that accepting Clown World’s shiny beads and trinkets comes at a steep price and is never, ever worth it over time.

And I think Hal Turner is right to believe that the Clown Worlders running the USA, the UK, and the EU will try to fight a war they know they can’t win rather than accept the inevitable end of “the unipolar world order” that they ruled for nearly 40 years. To do so would be foolish and stupid, but then, they are foolish, stupid, and evil.

The Swamp of Retarded Evil

A righteous denunciation of the dumbest place on the Internet:

“Oh, what’s the big deal? Isn’t this just harmless geeky fun?”

No. I refuse. It’s not harmless; it’s the most insidious and pervasive cultural force of our time. It’s corroding the bonds that hold society together. It destroyed a generation and shows no signs of stopping. You can’t escape it: everything is ugly and fat and dorky and trite and corny and satanic and fake and gay and soy and cringe. All mainstream culture is created by and for resentful geek losers. Everything sucks now and it’s because of Reddit.

“C’mon, isn’t it just a web forum for geeks? Why are you attributing all of society’s ills to some forum? And doesn’t it contain, like, a million different communities with opposing views?”

Yes, Reddit is a geek forum, and yes, it contains multitudes. But somehow, across all these communities, from r/knitting to /rWhoaThatsInteresting to r/ProgrammerHumor” to r/UpliftingNews, a distinct gestalt has taken prominence, on and off the site. The richest and most powerful people in the world are Reddit. The professional managerial class is Reddit. All of Western society runs on Redditism. The Redditor reigns supreme. This is, so far, the Reddit Century.

“WTF are you talking about? What is ‘the Redditor?’ Just someone who uses the website? Aren’t you overreacting a bit?”

No. The Redditor is an archetype that transcends the internet. He’s a self-loathing ex-gifted kid who indulges in childish consumption rather than face the duties and uncertainties of adulthood. He thumbs his nose at traditional authority, and makes that bratty rebelliousness his whole personality. Redditism is not just an aesthetic or a collection of fandoms, it’s an ideology, one that has been taken up and instrumentalized by the global elite against everything good. It animates a death cult that wants you dead first. It’s the end of the line.

The Redditor is the apotheosis of the Non-Player Character. He’s unself-aware despite his self-consciousness. He’s stupid despite his determination to prove he’s a Smart Boy. And he puts the capital-C in cringe.

Every day, 24 million members are giving each other the worst possible advice.

It’s going to take years for AI to recover from being trained on Reddit.

The “Brigitte” Macron Scandal Explodes

It’s becoming obvious that a disproportionate percentage of the Clown World elite has tranny spouses. Including, it would seem, the French president:

Poussard presents several pieces of documentary and photographic evidence in support of his claim that Brigitte Macron is transgender (specifically, that she was born male as Jean-Michel Trogneux, her brother’s name, and later assumed a female identity). Poussard points to Brigitte Macron’s physical appearance, such as broad shoulders, slim hips, and certain mannerisms (e.g., how she sits or walks), as indicators that she was born male. But it is the photographic evidence and the lack of photographic evidence that seals the case. Poussard shows that there are no accessible photos of a young Brigitte, with former schools refusing to release images and town halls reluctant to share birth certificates. Poussard would be a fool to make this claim if “Brigitte” could produce the photos from all of her school yearbooks, photos of her pregnant, photos of her playing with her alleged children. The Macrons have steadfastly refused to release what would be a powerful refutation and a financial death sentence for Poussard.

But then there is this photo:

Poussard used facial-recognition software to evaluate a number of photos. This one above shows Jean-Michel Trogneux, allegedly Brigitte’s brother, when he was 18. Hell, you don’t even need software to see the resemblance.

Poussard also highlights a lack of documented accounts for Jean-Michel Trogneux in some family records, despite his appearance in family photos and references (e.g., at Brigitte’s 1974 wedding), implying identity theft or fabrication.

It would seem a simple matter to simply have this missing brother of “Brigitte” come forward and appear with his sister. And surely there would be photographs of them together at “her” wedding, would there not? Except, apparently, there aren’t. I find it particularly amusing that he’s stuck with the same style of eyeglasses over the years. Change your sex? Sure. But glasses… yeah, you’ve got to stick with what works for your facial features.

Let’s be clear. Not only are all of these crazy “conspiracy theories” about the Clown World elite more or less true, I’ll bet they don’t even cover the half of it. I am absolutely confident that if and when the truth comes out, it’s going to be a lot weirder than “a gay guy pretended to be a woman in order to marry a guy half his age at a time when gay marriage was illegal”. Forget conspiracy theory, that doesn’t sound any more outrageous than the plot of a Shakespeare comedy.

Clown World Calls Time

The Black Rider has no more use for Zelensky and presumably will be throwing him from the horse this autumn:

For Ukraine’s sake, Zelensky must now step aside

Volodymyr Zelensky was once Ukraine’s saviour. In the first hours of the Russian invasion, as Putin’s paratroopers advanced on Central Kyiv with specific orders to kill him, Zelensky refused to evacuate.
Instead, he rallied his people to a heroic resistance that surprised the world – and Ukrainians themselves. It was thanks to Zelensky’s relentless lobbying and inspiring showmanship that Western nations were cajoled into sending rockets, artillery and tanks where once they had offered helmets and bandages.

But those times are gone. Zelensky is no longer part of the solution to Ukraine – he is part of the problem. Over the last year Zelensky has used emergency wartime powers to exile, investigate and jail many leading political opponents and critics. Opposition media have been shut down, and thousands of businesses have been seized by Zelensky cronies under the pretext of alleged links to Russia.

Zelensky has played an epic role in saving his country from destruction. Now there is a danger of his imitating his corrupt predecessors, and he should step aside, for Ukraine’s sake.

If a headline article in The Daily Telegraph is not a very clear signal for Zelensky to resign and run for one of his mansions in Florida or Tuscany while he still can, I don’t know what is. Short of Boris Johnson showing up in Kiev and telling him “it’s over” to his face, this is about as direct an order as Clown World ever gives.

This doesn’t mean the neoclowns have gotten any more realistic about what it will take to convince Putin to call off the Russian Army. The problem is that since the proxy war has gone global, it’s not just about what former Ukrainian territory will be transferred to Russian sovereignty, it’s also about ending the West’s economic war on Russia and its partners.

Clown World Turns on Zelensky

It’s time for another so-called leader to be thrown from the high horse, if Simplicius has read the situation correctly:

Tonight the knives have come out for Zelensky and his gang. What started as gripes against push back on some irrelevant NGO-run organs has turned into a fledgling ‘Maidan’ against the now unfavored Ukrainian leader.

As always, establishment rags were swift with their coordinated messaging to energize the push:

Most eye-opening about the fall from grace is how boldly the chosen actors are playing their lines, pearl-clutching about some imagined ‘repressions’ of a pair of organizations virtually no one has heard of or cared about until a few days ago, in this case NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine) and SAPO (Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office).

There are myriad other far more pressing concerns for Ukraine, not even counting the war itself, and yet the pitched fight around some Biden-era “anti-corruption” watchdogs is what has animated the intelligentsia and paid-off ‘influencer’ sphere to take to the streets with pre-branded slogans and obligatory ‘English’-scripted signs?

There’s no real point rehashing the whole backstory because it’s just a convoluted cover for the latest psyop-turned-color revolution…

“The US Embassy in Ukraine directly controls NABU and SAPO.” — Vladimir Putin, Feb 22, 2022

When you dig into how these organizations are run, and how their key players are appointed, you find that the process is controlled by a commission of European “specialists”. Ukrainians are also on the board, but the Europeans have the overriding vote.

So, just as in the “democracy” of the EU system itself, an unelected commission of outsiders has all the say in positioning their favored directors of these Ukrainian organizations. These directors then take all their marching orders from the US embassy, as per Putin.

Translation: both the 2014 coup that brought the Zelensky regime to power and the coming 2025 coup that will remove Zelensky from his unelected office were manufactured by the US State Department.

Japan Opts Out

In which /pol/ summarizes a paywalled Financial Times article on the Japanese government making it clear to Japanese companies that it has no intention of antagonizing China over Taiwan island.

Japanese government officials are telling companies they would be “on their own” if they needed to evacuate staff from Taiwan in case of a Chinese attack, according to people familiar with the matter, a message that has hit one of Taiwan’s largest sources of foreign direct investment. Tokyo’s warning highlights the practical and political difficulties for governments and companies in the region of preparing for a potential cross-Strait war. Beijing claims Taiwan as part of its territory, and has threatened to take it by force if Taipei refuses indefinitely to submit to its control.

The US military has been discussing operational plans for such a scenario with its allies, but obtaining political commitments has proven more challenging. The Financial Times reported last week that the Pentagon had pressed Japan and Australia to clarify what role they would play in a US-China war over Taiwan, frustrating Tokyo and Canberra.

Two Japanese officials told the FT that, under the country’s pacifist constitution, its military could only be deployed abroad with approval from a host government. Given that Japan does not recognise Taiwan diplomatically — as with all but 12 countries in the world — there “is no government in Taiwan from our viewpoint”, one of the officials said. They added that China was unlikely to grant the Japanese military approval to conduct evacuations.

Although the Japanese government has never confirmed this line as its official position, companies have been receiving the warnings for about three years, diplomats and corporate executives said. Japanese diplomats told company risk officers that “you are on your own if you put significant assets in Taiwan”, said one person present at one of the conversations.

While the new LDP leader has made noises about modifying Japan’s constitution to permit more aggressive foreign policy and military actions, the longtime ruling party isn’t in a very strong position as a new nationalist party founded in 2020, Sanseito, is rapidly rising thanks to the LDP bowing to Clown World’s demands that it relax Japan’s once-formidable barriers to immigration.

In a recent Kyodo News poll conducted from July 5–6, the party ranked second in proportional representation support, behind only the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). For a group that was initially dismissed as fringe, the rise is both dramatic and deeply concerning to many observers. With rhetoric that echoes Trumpism and European ultranationalism, it has become the most talked-about — and most unsettling — dark horse in Japanese politics.

From Berlin to Washington, from Moscow to Tokyo, the True Right is inevitable.

For decades, Japan’s stagnant wages, aging population and growing inequality have bred quiet despair. Conventional parties like the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the Constitutional Democratic Party (CDP) are widely viewed as corrupt, stale and incapable of offering real change. Into this void stepped Sanseito.

The LDP and the CDP are not merely “widely viewed” as “corrupt, stale and incapable of offering real change”, like their counterparts in every Western nation, they are corrupt, stale, and incapable offering real change. Which is why their eventual replacement, one way or another, is inevitable.

On Self-Determination and Failed Rhetoric

We are told that Taiwan is an international flash point and the USA is honor-bound to defend Tawian against reunification with the mainland because, and I quote: “Taiwan’s 23 million people deserve self-determination”.

Why didn’t the 9,103,332 people of the Confederate States of America deserve self-determination?

Why don’t the 4,543,126 people of Palestine deserve self-determination?

Why didn’t the 10.3 million people of the separatist oblasts of Ukraine deserve self-determination?

Why don’t the 8,012,231 people of Catalunya deserve self-determination?

Self-determination is just another Enlightenment inversion. It means that Clown World will claim it is a casus belli whenever it wants a war, and use military force to deny whenever it fears losing control. Unless the USA is going to go to war with Israel, Ukraine, and Spain, and permit the former-Confederate states to depart the Union in peace, it has absolutely no business claiming any right or responsibility to “defend” one part of China from the rest of it.

Adapt or Disappear

This is confirmed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the People’s Republic of China:

On the morning of July 15, 2025, President Xi Jinping met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

Xi Jinping asked Sergei Lavrov to convey his cordial greetings to President Vladimir Putin. Xi Jinping stressed the need for both sides to implement the important understandings reached between the two presidents, deepen the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination, strengthen mutual support in multilateral fora, safeguard their development and security interests, promote solidarity among Global South countries, and work together to make the international order more just and equitable. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which was jointly established by China and Russia, is a comprehensive regional cooperation organization that holds significant importance for maintaining peace, stability and development on the Eurasian continent. Both sides should support each other, steer the development course of the SCO, continuously inject new momentum, and make this strategic platform more substantive and stronger.

This is not.

President Xi Jinping of China, meeting with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov of Russia, made some brutal remarks about the United States and Europe today.

Xi said “China and Russia are not building an alliance. We are building a new global reality. The West must either adapt or disappear.”

He went on to say: “The West wants others to live in perpetual poverty so that their banks remain rich.”

Then, the big remark:  speaking before Lavrov and Iran Foreign Minister Araqchi, Xi Jinping declared: “We do not seek to rule the world… only to liberate it from those who believe they own it.”

It would certainly be interesting to see a transcript of that meeting. Either way, it is entirely obvious that both China and Russia know that Clown World is the real enemy.
