Rumblings in the East

A US general is removed from duty two months early:

Reports are circulating this morning claiming Lt. Gen. Charles D. Costanza, the Commanding General of the U.S. Army’s V Corps, forward based out of Camp Kościuszko, Poland and tasked with the defense of NATO’s Eastern Front, has been removed from command.

NATO’s “eastern Front” is Russia.

The reports allege there has been no official reason given (to the public) for this removal.

The reports conclude that the General had “only two months remaining” on his tenure.

Many, MANY, questions are being asked about this. What did the General do — or refuse to do — that caused his alleged removal?

Clown World wants NATO to go to war with Russia. Their pet politicians will do as they are told, but only to the limits of their capabilities, which are barely capable of keeping the lid on their own captive peoples. Which means that whatever false flags are utilized by the European militaries will have to be overseen, if not necessarily assisted directly, by the US military in Europe.

And while most US generals are not courageous in the political sense, they are not stupid and they are not suicidal. One of the more fascinating things about the various US military defeats is how few casualties have been taken by the US military, even when it is losing. That is a sign that everything isn’t lost as far as the military goes, and I strongly suspect that the generals are very actively obstructing the Trump administration and the other shot-callers for Clown World.

Which may be why Gen. Costanza was removed from command. But I very much doubt they’re going to find any American general willing to help start a completely unnecessary war with Russia that will almost certainly lead to defeat and the Russian occupation of Germany.

Translation: The Baltics Will Attack Russia

NATO strategists really assume that the rest of the world is stupid:

U.S. intelligence reports raised new alarms that Russian President Vladimir Putin could provoke a NATO nation with a limited attack as early as this fall, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Aug. 6.

According to WSJ, officials in Washington previously believed that an attack on a NATO ally would not occur amid Russia’s preoccupation with its war in Ukraine. The new-found belief by U.S. intelligence matches a chorus of similar warnings made by European officials in recent months.

In June, the head of Germany’s army, Lieutenant General Christian Freuding, cautioned that Russia might have the capabilities to strike NATO countries within the next three years. According to WSJ, U.S. officials believe that a large-scale hybrid-warfare attack, or even limited land incursion, may come between the fall of this year and 2029.

The latest intelligence report comes amid warnings from European countries that Russia may also attempt to use false flag-style attacks using Ukrainian-made drones to strike critical infrastructure in the Baltic region.

The whole thing is ridiculous. Russia has the ability to strike every single NATO country, including the USA, right now. And Russia doesn’t require any false flags in order to strike back against the NATO countries already attacking it, including Germany, France, and the UK.

Frankly, Russian forbearance has been astonishing. The Clown World puppets ruling over their European satrapies are fortunate that Vladimir Putin, and not one of his many more militant supporters, is the one calling the shots in Moscow.

It’s Not Just the Finns

The entire European governing elite is desperate to redirect the very understandable popular fury generated by their misrule at Russia. They’ve clearly observed how Zelensky has managed to cancel elections and cling to power by sacrificing millions of Ukrainian men who would otherwise have driven him and his regime from power:

The Finnish elite wants a war with Russia in order to use it to evade responsibility for their failures in the country’s politics, Ano Turtiainen, a former member of the Finnish parliament and founder of the Power Belongs to the People party, told RIA Novosti.
“Everything related to EU, by entering into NATO, – all this was done illegally, bypassing the constitution… Now the Finnish elite is afraid that they will have to answer for all this, and therefore they even want war (with Russia – ed.) in order to avoid responsibility with its help,” said Turtiainen, who moved to Russia.

He noted that relations with Russia need to be restored, but after that it is necessary to take responsibility for failures in Finnish politics, and this is the most important problem of modern Finland. Turtiainen was a member of the Parliament of Finland from 2019 to 2023. In 2021, he was expelled from the True Finns party and founded the Power Belongs to the People party, which advocated maintaining relations with Russia and against Finland’s entry into NATO. At the end of 2025, the politician and his wife moved to the Russian Federation and received refugee status.

Accountability for their actions is always the number one fear of people in positions of influence, power, and authority once the consequences of their terrible policies can no longer be denied. And almost everywhere but China and Russia, it is clear that the principles and policies that everyone once believed were a) inevitable and b) eternal have proven to be complete and utter failures in every society that adopted them.

Which is why we’re going to see everything from wars to aliens to apocalypses to climate change catastrophes to democratic dictatorships in desperate attempts to avoid accountability. And yet, history teaches that the reckoning will arrive eventually, no matter what the elites do. Clown World is doomed and every single elite clown knows it.

An Act of War

Was the USA involved in the recent Islamic invasion of two Spanish enclaves?

The US and Israel orchestrated the mass migrant crossing from Morocco into Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta to punish Madrid for its refusal to bow to pressure on the Middle East conflicts, Iran’s embassy in Kenya has suggested. Spain has been at odds with Washington and West Jerusalem over the Gaza war and strikes on Iran.

Over the past several days, roughly 50,000 to 60,000 migrants crossed from Morocco into Ceuta by land and sea in numbers equivalent to some 70% of the enclave’s regular population. The local authorities admitted they had been “completely overwhelmed” by the sudden surge.

The crisis, the largest human traffic invasion in the EU’s history, claimed the lives of at least 86 people, a toll expected to rise further. Many of the victims drowned in the sea or were crushed in the stampede at border checkpoints. On Friday, the Iranian Embassy in Nairobi described the migrant surge as “an operation organized by Washington and Tel Aviv – coordinated with certain neighboring authorities – to destabilize Spain.”

We know Israel was involved as a sponsor. Both the Israeli Ambassador to the UN and the son of the current Prime Minister made that perfectly clear. But this is the first time that it’s been suggested that the USA was involved as well, although Trump did make some weird claims about how this sort of thing would happen in Europe if Republicans lose the mid-term elections.

I just assumed that was Trump doing his usual thing of attempting to jump to the front of every parade, but it’s possible there was more too it than that. If so, things are going to get even weirder than they already are fast.

UPDATE: And it’s more or less confirmed, given the signal that was recently sent by Congress.

House Report 119-631 accompanies the National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2027, which the House passed 217 to 209 on 15 July 2026.“The Committee notes that the Spanish-administered cities of Cueta and Melilla are located in Moroccan territory and remain the subject of Morocco’s longstanding claim.”

Migration is Literally Invasion

For 50 years, the traitors in the West have insisted that immigration is not invasion. And now the inevitable has become undeniable:

Spain has deployed just 60 troops to its North African exclave of Ceuta after thousands of migrants overwhelmed security forces and stormed across the border from Morocco, with up to 30,000 more people reportedly swarming the frontier. The Spanish Interior Ministry said the military contingent consisted of three platoons of 20 soldiers each, sent to reinforce the Guardia Civil after officers admitted that the border had “totally collapsed.” Madrid also dispatched specialized police units, bringing their total number to around 200, as well as 30 additional Guardia Civil officers.

The small military deployment came after Ceuta’s regional government pleaded with Madrid to take “decisive” action, close the border and declare a national emergency, warning that local police, hospitals and migrant reception facilities had been overwhelmed.

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s government rejected the emergency request, arguing that migration does not qualify under legislation covering natural disasters, major accidents and other national catastrophes.

Of course it doesn’t. It’s war. Migrants and refugees should be met with military force at the border, or they will wage war on the native population. This is a larger invasion than the original one from North Africa that led to 700 years of Muslim occupation.

UPDATE: the invading force is up to 49,000 strong and they’re pillaging the towns.

Terrifying footage showed scores of people seemingly breaking into homes across the city late at night. One clip appeared to show a man on top of a ladder, hitting a first-floor window with an object. After migrants flooded into the city, many local shops chose to close early. Enrique Serrano, who runs a women’s clothing store in central Ceuta, told Reuters business owners were organising self-defence because they believed police resources would be insufficient.

UPDATE: Finland has joined Italy and Denmark in calling for Spain to be removed from the Schengen agreement.

Immigration and Economy

It’s been eleven years since Angela Merkel imported about a million young immigrants who were supposed to help the German economy and make up for the failure of Germans to have the children required to sustain the German social welfare system. And the verdict is not a positive one.

German auto giant BMW is planning to slash some 8,000 jobs globally by the end of 2027, according to several news media outlets, including Reuters and Bloomberg. German workers are expected to be particularly affected as the manufacturer is dealing with high production costs in Europe, as well as plunging sales in China, according to the reports.

The automaker employed 87,436 people in Germany as of late 2025, which accounted for more than a half of its global headcount. The company has already been making gradual reductions, with a reported decrease of 2.3% compared to 2024, according to Bloomberg.

It comes just a day after another German carmaker, Porsche, announced plans to eliminate another 5,000 jobs by 2035, bringing its total planned reduction to around 9,400 positions. Its parent company, Volkswagen, is considering slashing up to 100,000 jobs amid a protracted industrial slump caused by high energy prices. The Federation of German Industries (BDI) warned last week that the nation’s industrial sector was losing 15,000 jobs every month in what it described as a “critical” situation.

The “immigration is good for the economy” lie cannot be hammered hard enough. It was always false, but it was just barely possible to appeal to the abstract theory in the absence of any conclusive evidence refuting it. But, as with Darwin and DNA, the evidence is now available, and it conclusively and comprehensibly refutes the Post WWII-era justification.

The EU is a Pirate State

Send in the Marines…

European states have developed a mechanism that allows them to sell confiscated Russian oil without transferring the proceeds to its rightful owners, according to a decision in the official journal of the EU. European countries intend to dispose of seized Russian oil without transferring the proceeds to its owners; the corresponding decision was published in the official journal of the European Union, reports RIA News.

Before the adoption of the new package of sanctions, the embargo prohibited the purchase, import and transportation of Russian energy resources, but there was no mechanism for selling goods without transferring profits to the owner. The new amendments introduce this possibility for the first time. The mechanism will allow European countries to remove confiscated products from the ban, sell them to third parties and keep the proceeds for themselves.

I seem to recall something about “the shores of Tripoli”. The US Marines were sent there to deal with a piracy problem, and now we’ve got the European Union literally operating as an oil-pirating operation.

The Addition of Economic Attrition

Instead of accepting the reality of its military defeat, Ukraine has tried to create political pressure on Russia by targeting the civilian population. To which, of course, Russia has responded by escalating and expanding the economic pain on Ukraine and Europe:

Ukraine is trying to redirect part of the cargo flow from the Odesa region. Due to the strikes on the port infrastructure of Odesa and ships in Ukrainian territorial waters, the largest container shipping operator, Maersk, has suspended operations at the Black Sea Fish Port and redirected ships to the Romanian port of Constanta. On July 27, Ukraine initiated an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council due to the cessation of ship traffic in the Odesa ports.

In addition, there is a slight increase in the volume of rail traffic of grain and oilseed cargoes, redirected from the Greater Odesa area, to the western railway border crossings (key stations: Chop, Uzhgorod, Mostyska, Rava-Ruska, Yagodin, Batievo, Vadul-Siret) and the Danube ports (Izmail, Reni, Kilia). The early involvement of the Moldovan port of 🇲🇩Giurgiu and the Romanian 🇷🇴Constanta (to which barges can be delivered from the Danube ports) is expected.

In the scheme of increasing rail transportation to the west, large grain storage facilities, located directly at the border stations or within 5-30 km of them, will play a key role, due to the need to transship from the broad gauge (1520 mm) to the European gauge (1435 mm).

However, land routes are not capable of completely replacing sea exports: their combined throughput is estimated at only 1-1.2 million tons per month, compared to the required 5-6 million tons. And this is under the condition that strikes on the railway infrastructure will not increase.

It is clear that the Russian side has finally found a truly sensitive vulnerability of the enemy and its sponsors, and pressure on them needs to be increased. The importance of Ukrainian agricultural products for its European sponsors will increase significantly this season – according to estimates by European industry associations, the June heatwave in Europe led to a loss of almost 9 million tons of grain.

This is why one has to have serious questions about the reality of war, especially when foreign leaders, or national leaders owned by foreign interests are involved. Ukraine can’t possibly win. The people are suffering greatly. And yet the leadership remains as bellicose and belligerent as ever.

And it’s not only Ukraine. Germany should be surrendering now too; its energy costs are skyrocketing and its economy is practically dehydrating. And yet, the so-called “leaders” keep banging on their war drums.

Europe’s Fake Democracy

It’s more than a bit ironic that both the USA and the European Union justify their wars on Russia and Iran as defenses of “democracy” when both organizations are observably anti-democratic in nature. All of their institutions are quite literally designed to prevent the will of the people from being enacted.

If anybody cares, what actually happened is that an extension of the European Union’s mass surveillance regulation known as Chat Control 1.0 failed to make it out of the European Parliament twice in March. Unable to summon a clear parliamentary majority, advocates (mostly in the centre-Right European People’s Party (EPP)) turned to the European Council, which adopted the failed Chat Control 1.0 renewal on July 2nd. The Council’s position hardens automatically into law unless the European Parliament can summon an absolute majority to stop it. To forestall any such majority from forming, the EPP on Tuesday moved with member state backing for urgent procedure, angling to force their scheme through in the last days before the summer holiday, after many MEPs had already left. The parliament narrowly approved the urgent procedure, and in consequence there were not enough votes to stop Chat Control 1.0 when it came for a vote today. Hours ago, a majority of 314 MEPs voted to stop Chat Control against the wishes of the Council, while a minority of 276 voted to let it happen. Because 314 is less than the absolute majority of 361, Chat Control 1.0 passed even though most MEPs present didn’t want it to.

It was a sleazy vote, not least because it’s far from clear this procedural manoeuvre was even appropriate in this case. Also, electronic surveillance is bad, but if we are honest with ourselves this battle was already lost.

Neither the EU Council nor the US Supreme Court are elected to their positions, so neither the EU nor the US government can even be considered representative democracies, much less genuine ones.

The EU’s Inverted Values

Brussels was ridiculed today over plans to start allowing influencers to cover summits – but only if they’re Europhiles.

Eurocrats have issued guidance to EU capitals on which YouTubers, TikTokers and Instagrammers should be allowed to shoot and post about the bloc’s unelected officials in action.

But a leaked copy reveals anyone who has ‘published views against EU values’ should be banned.

Critics said it was a blatant attempt to shut down free speech and prevent more countries from leaving the bloc – or entice Britain into rejoining – amid a rise in the popularity of Right-wing and euroskeptic parties across the Continent.

There has been growing talk in recent years of a potential Frexit, Dexit or Italexit – slang for France, Germany and Italy’s version of Brexit – as euroskeptic parties are increasingly on the march.

Watching European Union officials trying to talk about things like freedom and democracy and the press is like watching a particularly dorky German trying to rap. They simply can’t get the rhythm, the rhyme, or even the background sampled melody right.
