This 👇 is insane and really illustrates how far France has fallen.

France's Foreign Minister, Jean-Noël Barrot, now says that anyone "who is distrustful of the European Union" is basically a useful idiot for Putin.

The implication being that distrust or criticism of the EU is not a legitimate democratic position anymore but a form of collaboration with "the enemy."

Which is absolutely insane given France's recent history: De Gaulle was famously opposed to the very kind of supranational Europe that the EU has become, and so have been a number of major French political figures both on the right (like Philippe Séguin) or the left (like Jean-Pierre Chevènement).

Not to mention the 55% of French voters who rejected the EU Constitution in 2005 (and whose vote was ignored because that very constitution was adopted later on regardless under the Treaty of Lisbon).

In effect, by Barrot's criteria - heck, by the current French government criteria since he is speaking as the government's Foreign Minister - De Gaulle, Séguin, Chevènement and 55% of the French population would be classified as Russian agents 🤦

The craziest aspect of it, if you take a step back, is that, fundamentally, people like De Gaulle who opposed EU integration did so because they cared first and foremost about France - about its independence, its sovereignty, its right to govern itself.

Calling that a form of foreign allegiance is just absurd and a complete inversion of reality: love of country and patriotism is being rebranded as treason.

More worryingly, this also shows the current state of the "democratic debate" in France, which is neither democratic, nor a debate.

Not democratic because this is the French government treating legitimate and reasonable positions as treason.

And not a debate because there's nothing left to debate: the EU has become a dogma, and distrust of it has become disloyalty and taboo.

One can legitimately be afraid that this is the road to a form of totalitarian ideology across Europe, dressed up as centrism, where the only acceptable position is unquestioning loyalty to supranational institutions whose defenders, tellingly, would rather question the patriotism of their critics than submit themselves to the verdict of the people.

No matter where you stand on Ukraine, you'd have to recognize this is extremely problematic.

Not even 3 months ago this guy was Ukraine's Minister of Defence, meaning in charge of weapons procurement, including from Palantir - the company whose CEO is now the lead investor in his new private venture.

That alone should raise eyebrows, and not in a small way...

But also think about it from a European taxpayer's standpoint.

EU taxpayers have given literally hundreds of billions to Ukraine's war effort, much of it spent buying American defense technology - including from Palantir.

And now the expertise that spending generated is being privatized by those same Americans, and will likely be sold back to Europeans as a product.

There is a common talking point in Europe that goes "sure we're spending an eyewatering amount of money to support Ukraine but it's also an investment in European strategic autonomy - Ukraine's battlefield innovations will feed Europe's future defense capacity."

I'm not making it up, that's a real argument made by serious people, for instance the German Council on Foreign Relations (https://t.co/cPts72NyMl): "The defense-industrial integration of Ukrainian innovation with European production and funding capacity bears huge potential for Europe’s collective security. Increased cooperation would give the EU and Ukraine greater autonomy from the US."

This deal illustrates perfectly just how wrong that argument is turning out to be. The first major privatization of Ukraine's defense expertise is... an American-owned startup.

Lastly there is the Palantir angle, a company so problematic that many, if not most, major European countries - such as France, the Netherlands, Switzerland and even Germany - are actively cutting ties with it, citing threats to data sovereignty and national security.

And yet somehow the man who ran Ukraine's defense with Europe's money - the single most expensive investment Europe made in several generations - is delivering the fruits of that investment to Palantir's CEO in a private deal.

Make it make sense 🤷

So, long story short, this is yet another chapter in what is becoming Europe's defining story: being the incompetent sucker in the room.

The fact that Western politicians and mainstream media outlets aren’t even questioning why on earth ISIS -of oll terror organizations- is suddenly revived only to traget Spain -of all countries- just days after Spain criticized Israel’s genocide and illegal wars, tells you what a dystopian shithole we are living in.

There is, at this point, no doubt whatsoever that ISIS was/is an Israeli-created and controlled terror organization.

Now remember the hundreds of thousands of civilians killed by ISIS, the entire regions destabilized by ISIS, the historic sites destroyed by ISIS, the trillions spent on stopping ISIS -and the millions of refugees created by ISIS with all the political implications of the migration crisis in Europe and elsewhere.

All of this done by an Israeli created and controlled terror group.

Israeli defence minister Katz has issued a decree to execute any child flying a kite.
Don’t forget to remain silent about this!

Silence is complicity.
Silence is taking the side of the psychopaths.
Silence is taking the side of those committing genocide.

Remember when the Panama Papers came out, revealed that all rich people in the world are part of enormous criminal network to dodge taxes and hoard stolen wealth in offshore accounts, and the journalist who reported was murdered by a car bomb, and no one was held accountable, and literally nothing happened.

Remember that there are 3 million files of documented evidence about powerful men and women who raped, cannibalized, trafficked, filmed, terrorized, tortured, hunted, and murdered 13, 14, 15 year children, and no one was held accountable, and literally nothing happened.

Remember that the United States literally kidnapped a sitting president of a foreign country and his wife and they’ve just been sitting in jail for the past 6 months, and no one was held accountable, and literally nothing happened.

Remember that there are two genocides—one in Gaza and the other in Lebanon—and that there are arrest warrants for war crimes and crimes against humanity, and no one was held accountable, and literally nothing happened.

This is what will happen—and continue to happen—if we do not unite to enforce international law.

BREAKING: Trump has sanctioned the president of the International Criminal Court — Tomoko Akane.

Her “crime”?

Holding Netanyahu accountable for war
crimes in Gaza.

The message could not be clearer:

Israel’s genocide in Gaza is being enabled, backed, funded and protected by the US.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Israel's impunity must end.

The UN charter stipulates that all security council resolutions are legally binding under international law. One of the conditions of being accepted into the UN is that member states should adhere to UN resolutions. Any country that is no consistent and regular in not abiding by international law and UN resolutions, should indeed be expelled from the UN.

Israel is the most flagrant abuser of UN resolutions, by far, as of 1948, Israel has disregarded roughly 450 to 550 United Nations General Assembly resolutions, has been the subject of more than 230 United Nations Security Council resolutions, rejected and failed to implement 32, and as of 2006, Israel had been condemned in 112 resolutions by the United Nations Human Rights Council.

Since 1972, there have been 59 vetoes on Israel-related resolutions. It’s been 54 years from 1972 until that 59th veto in late 2025. That's basically once a year. Once a year for 54 years, the UN has asked about Israel and the security council has blocked it. Every single one of those Israel related resolutions was blocked by the United States.

Since 2023, Israel has defied all UN Security Council resolutions on Gaza. The Security Council passed ceasefire resolutions and Israel disobey it. The International Court of Justice ordered Israel to stop preventing delivery of needed aid, and Israel disobey it. The Hague demanded this. Geneva demanded this. The human conscience demanded this. Yet Israel continues to disobey it.

If the world is concerned in secret nuclear programs, there's a country that doesn't allow any IAEA inspectors, with a UN security council resolution 487 in 1981 says, "calls upon Israel urgently to place its nuclear facilities under the safeguards of the IAEA." Israel refuses.

Israel behaves like a rogue state within the UN, yet its impunity has gone beyond mere violations of UN resolutions...

Israel has killed—deliberately, in most—a record number of UN staff. Israel has murdered nearly 400 UN personnel—serving under the UN’s blue flag—since October 7, 2023, alone; roughly ten times higher than the UN casualties in all other global conflict zones combined over the same period..

For the first time in the history of the United Nations. Israel takeover of UN headquarters and raised Israeli flag over the buildings. Israel has attacked UN food distribution centers, shelled UN schools that people are using as a shelter, targeted UN convoys carrying Humanitarian aid workers heading to starving children. Israel has also targeted medical supplies warehouse and hospitals, and bombarded UN facilities; at least 420 distinct UN installations have been directly hit, damaged, or occupied by Israel across Palestine and Lebanon, since October 7, 2023.

To date, Israel has killed seven UN peacekeepers and wounded nearly a dozen others wearing UN uniform under serving under UN flag in Lebanon. Attacking UN peacekeepers is an abomination which was in the past perpetrated by terrorists, but never by members of the UN. Some of you pretended to care what the UN had to say in 1948; do you care that the UN of today has had more UN personnel killed in the last three years than have been killed or lost in any other single conflict or crisis in the entire 81-year history of the United Nations.

Israel has violated international law, international humanitarian law, human rights law, the Geneva and Vienna Conventions, the International Criminal Court (ICC) and Rome Statute, the 1994 Convention, the UN Charter and Security Council resolutions... Israel has violated all international norms to date...

Any country that is no consistent and regular in not abiding by international law and UN resolutions, should indeed be expelled from the UN. Israel cannot continue to be treated as a full member of the UN. This Is what the UN Charter says. Shouldn’t Israel now be expelled from the UN under international law?

This world has completely lost its meaning.

[Israel Exposed @xIsraelExposedx]

This is Mathias Döpfner, the man responsible for running a disinformation campaign in the EU for Israel.

He runs Axel Springer and controls roughly 95% of the group. Through it, he shapes the reality that millions of people read every single day. Bild. Die Welt. Politico. Business Insider. The Daily Telegraph in Britain. Fakt in Poland. Dozens of outlets across the continent, all drawing from the same source.

In a leaked email, Mathias Döpfner unapologetically names the country he's working so hard for: "Zionism uber alles. Israel my country."

For that kind of service, Israel awarded him the Presidential Medal of Honor. He received it alongside Miriam Adelson.

Donald Trump has earned more money in his first and second year, in his second term as president, than in the previous 60 years of his life, per Bloomberg.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

They fired the ICC Prosecutor who issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu, while renewing a second term for the UN high commissioner for human rights who shielded Netanyahu and refused to state that the war in Gaza constitutes genocide.

This UN has completely lost its meaning.

If you start 0 wars, operate 0 apartheid states & perpetrate 0 genocides, you are a terrorist org. in the UK

If you launch wars of aggression every few yrs for decades, operate an apartheid state for decades & perpetrate 2 genocides in 3yrs, you receive weapons & spy tech to kill forever.

Sincerely, -the UK

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Utterly shocking but not a surprise. Impunity breeds hubris.

All states and people who care for Freedom must rise up in defense of the ICC and int'l justice now, before it's too late.

It's rule of law or barbarism.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

There are more than 3,000,000 files on powerful men who raped, cannibalized, trafficked, filmed, terrorized, tortured, murdered, 13, 14, 15 year children, that the US, UK, and EU will never arrest any of them.

There are more than 10,000 files on John F. Kennedy assassination that the US will never release, alongside thousands of classified files concerning 9/11.

There are more than 10,000 files concerning Israeli war crimes and acts of genocide—which the United States has consistently exercised its veto power in the UN Security Council and regarding which it has refused to support arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court.

Israel has broken all United Nations Resolutions with absolutely no consequences. Iraq broke two and the US and UK obtained UN legitimacy to invade and destroy the country over the course of eight years.

The bottom line here is the world system has become so corrupt that the time has come I think to clean the crap out of the stables and start over.

If people can't unite over children being killed, raped, and abused there's no hope for humanity.
