Trump's campaign was also given a substantial boost by several thuggish acts by the Regime during the election...including the intentional denial of hurricane relief, which lost North Carolina, the harassment of Amish milk producers selling raw milk (which is more nutritious) causing 150,000 new Amish voters to register for the 1st time, and the armed raid on an animal resuer, with the purpose of murdering Peanut the squirrel, who was popular on TikTok...Squirrel memes were everywhere...

It was also helped by the verbal abilities of Vance, Musk and Vivek, who repeatedly made mincemeat of hostile interviewers.....

All the Regimes across the West are desperate. They know that if they lose political influence it won't just be that they're not getting reelected any time soon, it'll be that they're not getting jobs anywhere.

It was impossible to elect the Democrats. The silence the day after the election and the bow out by Harris (the only classy moment I can remember from her) makes me think the cabal got their man in. I just can't stop thinking about the assassination attempt on Trump. How all of them are members of the actor's guild. All of them. Thomas Crooks, Ashley Babbitt, Donald Trump, every face they let us see is under contract. Trumps bodyguards were actors. They didn't care how fake it seemed live, they just wanted that money shot for the campaign. Why does Donald Trump look younger than he did eight years ago? It's theater. Remember when Trump read the snake story? "You knew I was a snake when you let me in?" WTF?

Well, he had to appear to be loyalist. His actions will prove his loyalty. Remember Operation Warp Speed? He's pro-vax despite all the death and sickness caused by the military countermeasures from the DOD? He is going to move us to a gold backed CDBC, and save the financial world. For a time, you'll be able to trade your bankster-hundos for this new electronic currency. Everyone is going to say that he's a hero. The only catch will be that you've got to be vaxxed and tracked to participate in the new economy. The entire globalist agenda will continue to roll out. All the federal land grabs (agenda 21) will continue. The biosecurity state (agenda 30) will continue its progress. Look, it's that or Kamala Harris and the tranny blue-hairs (unelectable). Do you see that it's a false choice? Everyone got funneled into supporting Trump, who did Operation Warp Speed, who has prayed at the Eastern Wall with his Kippah on, and who is to Jared Kushner as Hillary Clinton was to Huma Abadin.

Operation Warp Speed was uncovered by intensive anon research where it was discovered that the cabal had been planning something far nastier than what occurred - millions dead by the jab. Trump actually forced them to move faster than what they had originally planned. A lot of the jabs were placebos. However, while they didn’t have enough of the death jabs, they did have enough to target red states where one can look up number of deaths.

Everything that they had planned was upset by Hillary not getting elected and Trump moving their depopulation faster than they wanted. However, none of this will convince you, obviously. But, if you were paying attention, you may have noticed that certain things happened immediately upon his election. The migrant caravan at the US border dissolved, China wants to work peacefully with the US, the EU will switch from buying oil from Russia to buying oil from the US and there’s a lot more. Essentially, various countries and continents signalled that they prefer Trump and started to work on their problems, which was predicted by the anons. Cascade effect.

Not going to argue this anymore. Just continue to watch and observe.

"The British people themselves will hardly be oblivious to events beyond their borders, and when other people are getting nice things – for instance, governments that actually represent their interests – there’s a strong tendency to want those things for yourself"

Who would have guessed that law and order and national sovereignty will be for the British in 2026 what Levi's jeans and Marlboros were to Eastern Bloc denizens in 1986. Similar dynamics, hopefully similar outcomes. I've said elsewhere that there's a late-Soviet, Eric Honecker-on-the-balcony vibe going on. And like that period, one by one, they all fell, as they must here.

And in terms of Kompromat, every time I see Ursula Van der Leyen I'm convinced that off-hours she's the dominatrix at de Sade-level orgies amongst the degenerate Eurotrash "elite" that will make Diddy's Freak Offs look like a Rotary Club barbeque.

Peter Turchin stressed that elite overproduction was one MAJOR factor in the age of discord. When there are more players than musical chair, they’ll gore each other’s eyes out, as seen in the Roman civil wars, Japanese wars for shogunate, War of Roses, etc. No group, elite or pleb, are ever monolithic. Not even the Communists or China or Israel.

This is why it’s a mistake to be a doomer, the cracks are always there. Just have to dig in and listen and then try to break the enemy unity by stressing their differences. America’s Indian wars was successful because we were able to play the Creeks off against Sioux and so forth. We wanted to do likewise with the Arabs, Hispanics, and others to create space for ourselves. But it take a ruthless will to do so. Don’t obsess over the numbers.

Good tour of the horizon. As you note and Zhou Enlai famously said "It's too soon to tell". I would favor a policy of benign neglect toward Europe unless the regimes there threaten our interests like trying to shut down Musk, then whack them in some appropriate way. Wait to see if the populist revolutionaries succeed and then do bilateral deals. If enough of them succeed, then see if they want to band together. With the US out, they will really have the choice between Russia and Islam. If they want the US back, they have to change.

The UK is a special problem because of the long lease on life of the crazies. We should terminate Five Eyes and make it clear that the Special Relationship is over. Beyond that, watch them collapse and consider running guns by private parties as once happened with Ireland (which is currently crazier than the UK). Keep the regime locked up in London and other big cities.

If the US was to act against the EU when Trump is in office, all it would do is galvanise people to fall in line with their respective national regimes.

The reason for this is as stupid as it is simple:

The US is perceived as a "white" nation, and is therefore "legal" to show public dislike for.

Best thing would be if Trump indeed did nothing when it comes to USA-EU relations, and focused on getting the USA back on the right track. Succeeding in deporting criminals, righting the economy, and cleaning out mandated racism, sexism and such (DEI) plus cleaning house with the acronym-agencies would cause our leaders to start emulating his actions.

After some careful rebranding of course.

This is why the specific actions I suggest are essentially a) do nothing, just withdraw support, b) weaponize social media, which largely amounts to ensuring Europeans have a platform for open discourse, and maybe c) occasional carefully timed releases, via deniable leaks, of damaging information.

Funny thing is that increasing number of Indians and Africans whose visas have expired, and who *should* be deported, have all of a sudden discovered they're gay and bisexual and are applying for - and will most likely receive - asylum on that basis.

Canada is now officially the immigration equivalent of a construction site port-a-potty, and unlike the US, there is no mainstream politician advocating for mass deportations. The cheap labour and fake GDP growth is just too enticing to our oligopolistic elites.

The term "legitimate interests" raises hackles on any non-American due to the USA's well-known history of interpreting that phrase as it having ownership and control over the natural resources of other nations, and a right to restrict trade to and from any nation it so chooses, even if it is trade between third parties not involving the USA in any way.

There are three theories as to why the cheat was ineffective. 1. too big to rig. 2. Republican countermeasures worked. 3. they didn't dial it up to 11 this time.

Trump might be onboard with the idea of a stronger Europe, but the American oligarchs on either side of the Uniparty Corporation most certainly wants all of Europe to be kept down, for the simple reason that we (could and would) offer real competition, and as one of Saints of Capitalism said: "Competition is a Sin".

Further, a resurgence or even a second Renaissance would mean a complete scorched earth-capmpaign against US entertaintment media: Hollywood was after all founded by whom as what, you know, and for a an explicit purpose.

Personally, I think it is high time for a divorce. America is its own nation, and will barring actions which are un-American and politically impossible become a huge Zimbabwe-Venezuela: the odds of that are actually greater than EUrope going that route, for two reasons:

Demographic shift via migration and birth-rates, that same old tune, and:

Just as individuals do, cultures too revert to type. How will USA look when WASPs and other "whites" are 1/3 of the population?

And one other thing, not noticeable from the outside:

The very boring - and to many Americans and English-in-exile colonials scary - trait that makes us (Teutons, Angles, Saxons, et cetera) seem to always have the same opinion as were we a collective being?

I've been saying this for years. Scandinavians in particular are a consensus society. When the consensus shifts it is abrupt and total. The next consensus will be “get them all out, now, we don't care how.”

Regarding US and Europe, a relationship as competitive frenemies is preferable to the existing state. Iron sharpens iron. Monopolists might not want competition, but these are the conditions that move civilization forward.

If you look at all of Europe's most culturally fruitful eras (and we can neglect the rest of the world because, well, it just isn't important), it was always during periods of disunity and intensive competition.

"Dare to be brave" is a slogan that would play better here than 'MEGA' since MAGA ranks just below "Hello Victory" (in German) in the EU.

It is vague enough, yet clear enough, and it allows precisely the space to pivot that must be allowed our entrenched elites - pikes in pond-mentality and all - to turn and play at being leader.

Here's something interesting: spoke to a busdriver today, he asked tentatively what my take on the proposed re-establishment of prison ships in Sweden.

"Shoot them if they have done rape, arson, murder or repeated violent offences" said I, continuing "and if they are migrants, erect gallows at every border crossing and hang the bodies up for the crows."

Instead of looking at me as an escaped loon, he actually thought it over and we had a half-hour long conversation on the wider topic of crime, migrations and how to handle convicted felons.

Ten years ago, such a forthright conversation would not have happened. Maybe, just maybe, that's an Omen that the Spinner's threads are about to form a new pattern.

And one of the biggest populist figure in some circles Jean Capet who had begun to with the farmers’ protests become a viable alternative has been imprisoned in his home, stripped of his properties and is facing lawfare. Not trying to be too disagreeable John, I just didn't used to trust Marine, though that said I don't think she should have lawfare done against her. This is as you noted clearly another attack against a populist French figure following after Bock-Cote, Aselineau, & Son Majesté Jean IV and now Marine.

You're pretty close actually. I've predicted in my own substack how Trump needs to deal with China and Canada. Tariffs will be applied to Canada. He'll go tough on Canada's den of vipers, the Grits and Tories (NDP will just flail and die). As for deportation, he has to talk to China. China moves fent and people through SA and Canada. For instance, East and West Coast are major traffic zones that go through America. Extra pressure will come through illegals running up to Canada, forcing the government to deal with the problem. Essentially, deportation and clearing out the swamp while positioning the navy back in control of American ports destroys human trafficking. The Uniparty's major income is from Chinese investment, very high taxes and trafficking. The people are at their limit taxation wise, the Uniparty is nearly out of money and changes in Europe will shut down WEF influence, who will abandon Canada. Their original plan was to hopefully retrench in Canada failing everything else.

Add to that the brilliance of when our election happens. October 2025. Trump will have been in power for several months and we Canucks get to see the changes. And that will really piss us off. We're going to get, in the words of Ed Anger, pig biting mad. Add to that strong rumours that Trudeau is still a top suspect in the Barry and Honey Sherman murder and apparently is on the P. Diddy videos doing very very bad things. This will get interesting. Very.

It's going to get rough up here and already close to 80% of Canadians are deeply unhappy with the illegals. Cries of deport them all increase daily.

Of all the pitfalls you mentioned none are more troubling than this game of nuclear chicken. This time Putin is just a proxy. The real brinksmanship is between Trump and the demons that walk among us. He may have to capitulate to a degree. It might explain the Gaetz/Bondi situation. It’s hard to say really.

Its frightening what I see behavior-wise. I don’t believe Putin has anymore lessons in him to teach. If we continue to escalate after this point (lob some ATACMS at a NPP for example) I’m afraid it’s going to get very ugly.

That’s unforgivable and even if Russia successfully shoots them down it’s still quite a conundrum to be in.

On the other hand it’s really hard for me to believe they all want to die. And there’s a good chance that’s the next step. I was never in the military or police but I did participate in a quite a bit of violence in bar fights and street brawls. It’s always the same. Once you know it’s going to erupt you skip all the dialogue and intermediate escalations and get right down to biz. Incapacitate the enemy before he does you.

That realisation is part of why they act so rash one second, so mule-headed the other, and so seemingly irrational - they cannot escape death, yet they try frantically to do so any way they can. Doing anything just might work, is the feeling driving them.

And yes, that behaviour very much come from them never ever having been in at the sharp end.Witness the ridiculous "self-defence"-laws of most western nations for proof.
