There’s no future for Jews in an Islamized Europe

Essayist Sandelin writes: “I doubt those who lived here a generation ago would believe me when I tell them what is happening today.”

“I live outside Malmö, a city with 50,000 Muslims, most of them with roots in the Middle East. We cannot ignore the situation in which the Jews find themselves here, because the synagogue has to be guarded, because the seat of the community looks like a fortress, because the Jews don’t dare go out with a kippa, because people spit on the rabbi in the street, because the Jewish teachers are harassed at school, because Malmö Jews emigrate. Since getting my head bloodied by the Communist police in February 1948, I have not suffered as much violence as in Malmö, when in a demonstration for peace in the Middle East we were pelted with stones and bottles by a roaring crowd with Palestinian flags. It is natural that Malmö’s Social Democratic majority did not stop anti-Semitism in the city. Between 80 to 90 percent of voters in areas with high immigrant density vote for Social Democrats. This is what the situation of Jews in Sweden looks like today ”.

Europe Is Losing the Energy War

Wars are fought on many fronts. So far, Russian president Vladimir Putin is winning the energy war. High energy prices, triggered by supply disruptions, have neutered Western sanctions. Russia’s current account balance stands at record highs. Meantime, the same forces are de-industrializing Europe right before our eyes. Industry after industry is throttling back, shutting down, or considering doing so if the energy chaos continues. Britain is staring at the potential shutdown of 60 percent of its manufacturers. Germany and most of Europe are on the same track.

Discussions of how to rebuild Ukraine when the ground war eventually ends are prevalent, but the question of the decade will be how to rebuild Europe’s industrial infrastructure. Industrial facilities and supply chains that use and produce energy can’t easily be restarted once stopped. That’s one lesson, at least, that policymakers should have taken from the Covid lockdowns.

Is Europe on the Verge of a Political Breakdown?

Among the many consequences of the war in Ukraine, power dynamics in the EU are changing — or have changed — in response to the profoundly altered circumstances. As a matter of fact, if on the one hand Viktor Orbán’s proximity to Vladimir Putin has de facto paralyzed the Visegrad group (Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, and the Czech Republic), on the other Poland and the Baltic states are gradually coming into a more structured relationship with Nordic countries such as Sweden and Finland, presenting the EU, starting with Germany and France, with a fait accompli.

Demographic decline and disintegration: Europe’s fate

In 2050, a third of Italy’s population will be foreigners, says a United Nations report. And there will be 3 seniors for each child.

From the Indo-European invasions (3rd millennium BCE) to the second half of the 20th century, the European population did not undergo demographic changes. Since 1974, in contrast, Western Europe has welcomed an Islamic immigration unprecedented in history and in the rest of the world. This change occurred at the same time as the fertility of European women plummeted below the essential threshold for generational turnover (2,1). Today in Europe there are 1.5 children per woman, which implies a division by three in the number of births in a century. In some regions (northern Italy, eastern Germany, Spain, Greece, eastern Europe) couples have on average only one child, a halving of the population over a lifetime.

Iran’s Deepening Military Expansion Into Europe

Iran’s deepening involvement in supporting the Russian war effort against Ukraine should serve as a wake up call to Western leaders that Iran’s military threat is no longer solely confined to the Middle East.

Ever since the ayatollahs seized control of the country more than 40 years ago, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the regime’s standard bearers, have mostly confined their military activities to the Middle East region, whether it is waging war against neighbouring countries like Iraq or threatening Israel through its proxies in Lebanon and Syria.

What Europe really lacks is not fuel, but babies

There is a deeper crisis than the energy one, invisible, not addressed by signing an Algerian or Azerbaijani contract.

Germany is beginning to ration heating, electricity in the streets and water in swimming pools. It looks like news from 1942, but instead it is from 2022 and comes from the Financial Times.

Europe’s largest and richest country is running out of energy after Russia decided to cut gas supplies, causing prices to skyrocket and triggering the biggest crisis since 1973. “The situation is more than dramatic,” said Axel Gedaschko, head of the federation of German construction companies GdW. “The social peace of Germany is in grave danger”.

“Hamburg could ration hot water,” headlines Der Spiegel. Economy Minister Robert Habeck has appealed to the population to save energy and take shorter showers. Vonovia, a colossus of residential properties, lowers the temperature of the gas heating of its tenants between 11 pm and 6 am. The district of Lahn-Dill in Frankfurt has suspended hot water in its schools and gyms since mid-September, Düsseldorf closes a huge swimming pool complex, Berlin lowers the thermostat of outdoor pools and Cologne street lighting to 70 for one hundred starting at 11.00pm.

European Scientists Empowering China’s Military

New research done by Follow the Money, a Dutch platform for investigative journalism, and ten other European media outlets, found that European scientists have “shared militarily sensitive knowledge with the Chinese army on a large scale.”

The project, known as the China Science Investigation, collected a staggering 353,000 scientific collaborations between Europe and China and found that, of these, 2,994 have taken place with the Chinese military, defined as, “studies where scientists from Western European universities collaborated with Chinese colleagues directly linked to an institute that is part of the Chinese army.”

Most people are eager for digital IDs, military defense contractor says

According to Thales, the poll shows that two in three EU residents (66 percent) are eager to start using Digital ID Wallets, that will contain their ID card, driver’s license, and a slew of other official documents and attestations, all accessible on their smartphones.

But Thales Group is not a pollster; it is a French multinational corporation that works with defense, transportation, aerospace, security sectors, and governments, and has been working on implementing the EU’s Electronic Identification, Authentication and Trust Services (eIDAS) since the beginning, 2014.

No wonder then that the white paper based on the survey identifies as a key trend that people in the EU already feel their “identification headaches” are being relieved, and user experience improved, with the advance of digitization.

In Europe, the Left wins by forging an unholy alliance with Islam

The Left knows where the votes are, ideology be damned. That is the story in la Seine Saint-Denis, and as it goes, so goes Europe.

A few weeks ago, before the Champions League final at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, football champion Thierry Henry shocked the public by saying that “Saint-Denis is not Paris”, before adding: “Believe me, not you would like to be in Saint-Denis, it’s not the same as Paris. . . “.

Yet, there was a time when half the population of Seine-Saint-Denis was Breton. It was a great immigration, coming from the peninsula which has its center in Rennes, a region of oak forests and stone huts topped by long chimneys. This is the France that is disappearing.

Today the Bretons represent only 11 percent of the population of Saint-Denis and are “in danger of extinction” for demographic reasons, while Saint-Denis has been changed by another immigration: extra-European.

Europe: Demography Governs Democracy

There is a replacement of civilization and the media is not even covering it.

Sept pas vers l’enfer (“Seven Steps to Hell”), the new book by Alain Chouet, the former number two of the DGSE, the powerful French counter-intelligence service, is an indictment of the European élites. Chouet recalls:

“I have been invited every year to give a lecture on the problems of the Arab world in Molenbeek, a suburb of Brussels. One day I was there… when Philippe Moureaux, the city’s socialist mayor and big boss of the Belgian Socialist Party, took the front row flanked by two imposing bodyguards in djellabas, beards and white berets. To the audience, Moureaux said I was not qualified to discuss the Arab world, as I came from a country that had tortured Muslims in Algeria. His reasoning is significant in the way in which, since the late 1980s, the European left has allowed itself to be taken by the sirens of militant Salafism. The management of Molenbeek is exemplary in this sense: authorizations granted easily and without any control for the opening and functioning of mosques, Islamic private schools, cultural and sports clubs generously subsidized by Saudi Arabia”.

25 out of 89 member of the Brussels Regional Parliament are not of European origin.

The Cost of New Energy in Europe, but Not in Money

As Europe turns from its masochistic energy dependence on Russia, and the potential blackmail that came with it, will it now fall into the open arms of other dictatorships that stand ready to pump gas into its markets, such as such as Algeria? Even more dangerous might be a new partnership formed between Germany and Qatar. They have just agreed on a huge long-term energy partnership to reduce dependence on Russian gas, according to German Economy Minister Robert Habeck, who last month visited the Persian Gulf and met with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani. Italy was the first to negotiate with Qatar, a country that, according to Freedom House, numbers 25 out of 100 on its the freedom score, only slightly above Russia, at 19.

Qatar is now saying that it stands “in solidarity” with Europe.

Solidarity?
