EU enters full Owellian mode, where words start to mean the opposite of what they once did..

…placing the word “DEMOCRACY” on the side of the EU HQ in Brussels—an institution now with arguably more power than any other in Europe, and one where not a single person is elected.

⚡️The von der Leyen quote is one of the most revealing things a European leader has said in the last decade and almost nobody is going to process it correctly.

“The cheapest energy is the one you don’t use.”

That is a sentence spoken by a person presiding over civilizational decline who has decided to reframe the decline as virtue. It’s not a policy statement. It’s a theological position. The energy crisis isn’t a problem to be solved by producing more energy. It’s an opportunity for Europeans to need less. To want less. To consume less. To live smaller lives in smaller apartments heated to lower temperatures with less travel and less activity and less economic output. The scarcity isn’t a failure. It’s the goal.

This is the thing Americans and everyone outside of Europe cannot fully grasp about where European elite thinking has landed. They genuinely believe that reducing European energy consumption is morally good regardless of the economic consequences, because European consumption is tied to European environmental guilt which is tied to European colonial guilt which is tied to a broader belief that European civilization has been net negative for the world and should shrink. The energy crisis gives them political cover to implement policies that would otherwise be unpopular. Now they can say circumstances force the reduction when the reduction was always the plan.

Von der Leyen is not an aberration. She represents the consensus view among the European political class. Macron believes this. Scholz believes this. The entire EU Commission believes this. They don’t say it this directly usually because it polls badly, but every major policy they implement is consistent with this worldview. Degrowth is not a fringe academic position in European politics. It’s the operating framework at the top.

The American version of this framing would be “the cheapest energy is the one we produce ourselves at scale.” That’s what actually reduces cost and increases resilience. Building more nuclear, extracting more gas, expanding the grid, investing in new production. The European version is the opposite. Don’t build anything. Don’t extract anything. Don’t produce anything. Just use less. And when citizens can’t heat their homes or fly for work, frame it as virtue.

This is why Europe can’t recover from the current trajectory. The recovery would require a complete reversal of the ideological framework that produced the decline, and that framework is held most strongly by exactly the people who have the power to change it.

They’re not going to reverse it because they don’t see the trajectory as a problem.

They see it as necessary and good.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

Europe is in a full-blown energy crisis.

In fact, Europe's energy crisis has gotten so bad that the European Commission is now recommending Europeans to work from home.

They are also recommending using public transportation to cut fossil fuel use.

Meanwhile, new IEA data shows that Europe has just 6 weeks worth of jet fuel remaining as the Iran War shortage worsens.

As a result, many flights are expected to be cancelled on non-essential routes.

Between the Russia-Ukraine War and the Strait of Hormuz closure, Europe's vulnerability to energy supply shocks has been exposed.

We expect another wave of inflation in Europe.

@heart_ I just created a hft bot which runs on an optimized kernel and networking platform. It benchmarks complete state updates and data processing in the low nano seconds. On a 6 year old CPU, which is better than professionals on brand new hardware. AI is what you use it for I guess.

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

Before the election, Giorgia Meloni called importing 500k legal immigrants over three years a “planned invasion,” swearing she’d never do it. She also said she would be a great friend of the U.S. and Israel.

Now, she’s signed a decree admitting exactly 500k immigrants into Italy over three years, and turned her back on America and Israel. Did she change, or was it all just a lie?!

Macron, Starmer, and Meloni opening the Strait of Hormuz 👇

[Knut @Knut4q]

Anti-Trump grifterne tok feil om alt, igjen. Media, finanseliten (i Norge), politikerne, forsvarstopper (som kun har deltatt i øvelse). Det som bringer disse sammen i Norge, det er marxisme. Morsomt hvordan sosialistene trodde de kunne ta kontroll, også taper de selv med all makt

[NN @NnPnemck]

There is no one besides the Iranian Regime that took a bigger L from this operation than Europe.

In fact, you could argue the UK came out looking weaker than the cardboard cutout of the Ayatollah.

Probably one of the most embarrassing displays of impotence we’ve seen in recent history.

[Catturd ™ @catturd2]

And Europe fought against us tooth and nail.

[J @JayTC53]

Never forget all these people lied to your faces about President Trump and sided with the Iran regime over America.

"Forever war" "Iran is winning" "big mistake"

They should never be trusted or listened to again. Forever grifters and Forever losers

[Dr. Eli David @DrEliDavid]

4 pathetic leaders.
They are sending a naval mission to reopen the Strait of Hormuz only after it is reopened 🤡

[Clandestine @WarClandestine]

Take notice of who is quiet right now.

Go look at the pages of Alex Jones, Dave Smith, Candace Owens, Ian Carroll, Megyn Kelly, Mike Flynn, and the rest of loudmouth traitors.

What do you notice? Most of them haven’t even posted, and all of them are silent about the news.

Trump not only secured the strait of Hormuz, he told Israel to stand down and that they are prohibited from bombing Lebanon. The whole “Trump is owned by the Jews” narrative just went up in flames, and the traitors don’t know how to respond.

If it was bad news for Trump, they would have posted about it IMMEDIATELY. But when it’s good news and completely shatters their entire argument, they are quiet.

[Stacy is Right @PoliticalStacy]

Everything has come full circle for me.

Everything my grandparents thought was cool... Jesus, guns, hunting, old trucks, dirty jokes, not trusting the government, and just wanting some peace and quiet... it turns out they were right.

All that stuff, is pretty fucking cool.

What happened?

[Calvin @RealCalvin1]

The problem is surrender is being sold as peace.

It isn’t peace it’s Christianity give in to Islam.

They aren’t burning down mosques, they are burning down churches.

It is all one sided. That's what this Pope doesn't get.
