NEVER was there more news and comment to sift through on alt media. Donald Trump’s warp speed disruption has set off its own tsunami. It is hard to keep up, so by the time you read this events may well have moved on.
So much for AfD’s big win – nothing has changed in Europe
I am going to start in Europe before diving into the comment on the US/Russia/Ukraine peace talks you don’t see on the MSM. First Germany’s elections: for anyone who thought this was a ‘conservative’ win, think again. As Michael Heaver predicted, the AfD needed a 35-40 per cent win to be strong enough to run on their own.
Although achieving (despite the MSM’s non-stop Nazi, far right and hard right smears) their best result and coming in a strong second, Merz’s Christian Democrats have refused to work with them in coalition. Instead Germany’s going to get a fragmented coalition mess with the left-wing SPD. A substacker called @alilybit, with German roots, got it in one.
‘Trump congratulated Germans for “voting out leftists,” but that’s not what happens here. The “center-right” CDU won the most votes, campaigning on policies they copied from the “far-right” AfD. However, having ruled out a coalition with the “Nazi-party” AfD, the CDU must partner with leftist SPD and Greens, blocking the copied “right-wing” agenda they ran on and which the Germans voted for. This leaves them unable to govern effectively, frustrating German voters who – based on votes – favor a CDU-AfD coalition. Instead, Germany faces another socialist government, likely leading to new elections soon.’
Here The Duran discuss this coalition of losers:
With just days the election Merz has U turned on his migration commitments and restarted Afghan refugee flights. Mario Nawful also reports on the SDP’s threat to the CDU.
Several days before the Federal Election, Rolf Schoellhammer went on to Clayton Morris’s Redacted to discuss Europe’s death wish so amply demonstrated by the post election news:
Nothing then has happened in Germany, or the rest of Europe, that suggests any Trump lessons have yet been learnt.
The inimitable Mark Steyn warns that ‘Actually, it’s Herr Merz who will ensure that Germany’s problems get worse. The threat from the “far right” prompted Merz to butch up for the election on immigration – not terribly convincingly in my opinion, but even a perfunctory genuflection is telling. However, the campaign’s over, and it’s time to butch down again. To govern Germany, he will need to form a coalition with the SPD – which is, in Yank terms, like a pre-Trump Republican Party forming a coalition with the Dems. If Merz needs a third party in his coalition, his friends in the CSU would prefer it not be the Greens – which is like a pre-Trump GOP forming a coalition with the Dems plus a leftie nutters’ party led by AOC and exercising a veto on anything that might make a difference.’
So as he says, we’re ‘back to where we were before the previous government fell apart – a Uniparty ministry of all the w*nkers that will be unable to do anything that’s needed, and whose sclerosis is a conscious choice.’
Much the same could be said for Italy where Giorgia Meloni has lost her battle with the EU over deporting illegal Albanian migrants. Michael Heaver reports:
Liberal losers v Trumpian strongmen
We already know how Trump dealt with Macron: he humiliated him. For once there’s a decent article in The Spectator which lays it bare. ”The orca killer whale is known for playing with its prey before killing it, always with a smile,’ Jonathan Miller begins it. And goes on to say that Starmer can expect no better even if Trump says he’s a nice fellow -that is what he says about anyone who he hasn’t ‘registered’.
Starmer has already been humiliated by his EU allies as ex British Army Paz 49 reports:
If you haven’t come across the commentator Alex Christoforou he is certainly an entertaining, if a bit of a long-winded, watch. He covers some interesting territory in this chatty video, from the German elections, the UK-France plan for Ukraine, Trump’s minerals deal negotiations through to Orban’s comments on Ukraine as a buffer state, plus various updates on the Russia-Ukraine conflict :
Still on the reaction to the Trump/Putin peace talks, on one of his last shows Dan Bongino, whom Trump has just appointed deputy head of the FBI (more on this later), discusses the deranged ‘Libs’ who want to go all-in for war in Ukraine and wonders whether this is really what Starmer and EU want too.
Which brings us to the question of Starmer’s endgame. The Blackbelt Barrister, discussing Starmer’s plan to put UK troops on the ground in Ukraine, says it’s the last straw for many.
What or who is driving Starmer – is he his own man or just a puppet, British Breakdown asks, and if so, who pulls his strings? This, from two weeks ago, profiles Morgan McSweeney, Starmer’s chief strategist and discusses how his political manoeuvring has shaped the Labour Party’s direction and policies.
Back in Europe, Tucker Carlson interviews Europe’s sole strong man, Hungary’s Viktor Orban, by far the longest-serving head of government in Europe, who as Carlson says has been vindicated on pretty much everything. ‘So when he says that going forward it’s Ukraine, not Russia, that may be the biggest threat to the West, it’s worth paying attention’. The interview covers USAID, Trump, immigration, Nato, and the Russia/Ukraine war.
While we are still allowed to watch anything from Russia, here’s Sergei Lavrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation who, according to the Hindustan Times, dropped the bombshell that it was Boris Johnson’s ego that doomed Ukraine to eternal conflict. On the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, he reveals details about the peace agreement that was nearly finalised in Istanbul in 2022.
And here is a reminder about who Zelenskyy really is. A bad man. Before he was killed by the Secret Services in Ukraine, American journalist Gonzalo Lira laid out exactly how Zelenskyy was manufactured and funded by Ukrainian-Israeli billionaire Igor Kolomoisky.
Kolomoisky was once considered the leading oligarch in Ukraine, though on a US blacklist. His Wikipedia entry is worth reading here. In 2019, Kolomoyskyi’s media power and funding supported Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s successful presidential campaign to unseat Poroshenko. Yet Zelenskyy reportedly stripped Kolomoyskyi of his Ukrainian citizenship in 2022. Later that same year, those of Kolomoyskyi’s assets deemed to be of strategic value to the state in light of the Russian invasion were nationalised. These included Ukraine’s largest gasoline companies. In 2023, Kolomoyskyi was arrested by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) on charges of money laundering and fraud, and placed under pre-trial arrest. Umm. What did Zelenskyy need to cover up?
Dan Bongino joins the FBI
Another inspired Trump surprise appointment – Dan Bongino, conservative TV commentator and former Secret Service agent is to serve as the next deputy director of the FBI. First, here he is with his recent round up of what is happening in US so that you can get a sense of the man on his own regular programme here (sadly now to come to an end).
Second here he is talking about his appointment – which the MSM predictably weighed into with the usual hysterical far right epithets and allegations that he be a security threat– with Benny Johnson.
Finally, poor old panicking Soros, the philanthropist who, after all that, was spending your money not his.
Soros panics as his funding for his NGOs around the world is defunded. Yes the tax dollars he got from USAID is staggering $250-350billion – bankrolling taxpayers’ hard earned cash to fund hard left causes round of the world, as well as the news organisation that spurred the first Trump impeachment.
