Europe in crisis and the new politics.

Posted by Pointman on June 22, 2018 · 21 Comments 

I wrote an article some years back, the main thrust of which, was that unless establishment politics evolved away from its pervasive liberal sentiments, then the rise of very old-fashioned conservative parties was inevitable. This would happen because electorates would become alienated from the established parties of both the right and left, whose unpopular policies were so close you couldn’t slide a fag paper between them.

Those policies not only didn’t address the very real concerns of electorates, but those concerns were being scoffed at by a hideously compromised media/news complex that acted as a mouthpiece and lynch mob enforcer of government policy. Anyone who raised those concerns was labelled almost by a knee jerk reflex as being variously, little Englander, racist, islamaphobic, fascist or just plain being a covert Nazi.

The response by the establishment parties was just to carry on as before, because the disconnect between them and their electorates was just as wide as their voters disconnect with their policies. There’s a saying in science that nature abhors a vacuum and will fill it. The same is true in politics. If a large proportion of voters have a serious issue that’s not being addressed by mainstream politics, then a new party will arise to represent those frowned upon concerns.

Looking around Europe, you can see that process happening in most Western European countries. The media is in full vicious spin mode about them and the propaganda machine variously labels them as extreme right or just fascist. That’s them just obviously trying to set the narrative, but these parties are actually a new manifestation of a very traditional brand of conservative politics – country, culture and Christianity. The impact of such a propaganda strategy is not working too well, since in Europe, as in America, the average person has developed a deep distrust of the social justice warriors, formerly known as journalists, of the fake news machine.

The subtle transformation of the EU from being an economic union to a political union run by distant and unelected bureaucrats in Brussels is getting on everybody’s tits. For so many of the states in the EU, especially the southern ones, membership in it has proved to be an economic disaster, despite all the come unto me for untold riches they were inveigled into by the globalists behind the whole thing.

Countries like Italy have an average youth unemployment rate of 40% and in certain areas, as high as 60%. Spain is nearly as bad, and don’t even bother asking about Greece. That’s a whole next generation of European youth being squandered away to a life of unemployment and living on a pittance of government handouts.

Then you throw in the fact that they all owe billions to the EU, meaning Germany, which won’t get repaid for several generations, then what’s now commonly looked at as an economic occupation of their countries is going down just as well as the military occupation they suffered under the Germans in WWII.

The final injury the EU imposed on them, without their permission and against their wishes. was an open borders policy of mass migration that has transformed some of the brightest jewels of Western civilisation to Mogadishu-like hovels in a couple of years. Sweden has gone in but a few years from one of the most beautiful and liberal countries, to being the rape capital of Europe, with policemen actually warning women to stay indoors at night. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it the police’s job to ensure you can safely venture outside your house at night?

There are no go areas everywhere, and violent crime is rife. When you have migrants throwing hand grenades at police stations in no go areas and in response those police stations being abandoned, you don’t need to be a Sherlock to see that you’ve just lost control of those areas.

The middle of Paris has become a tent city with the stench of excrement everywhere since the influx of migrants have no problems just dropping their pants in the street and squeezing out a turd. The rape and sexual assault crisis there is not quite as bad as Sweden, but it’s getting there with certain areas of the city very definitely no go areas for a woman in daylight, never mind after dark.

Berlin and other major cities of Germany are suffering the same problems, but numbers are hard to find because police statistics of crime have been officially directed to redact the details of the ethnicity, ie Muslim migrants, from any official statistics. However, a recent report reveals an average of 100 Germans a day being victims of migrant crime. All this mendacity, massaging of statistics and outright deception is meant to do what? Make these pavement level problems go away? Kid people that there’s no problem?

Despite all this spin, the average person is very much aware of what’s going on, which is why they’re voting for these new “extreme right” parties. In this political wasteland, there’s a salty old saying which is very appropriate – don’t piss down my back and then try and tell me it’s raining.

Italy’s new “extreme right” government is refusing ports to all those NGO funded boats trying to land thousands of migrants, and with a huge groundswell of approval, is ready to start deporting these migrants, or feckless scroungers on an already overloaded social welfare system, as they’re commonly seen as in Italy.

The Eastern European states of what used to be the old USSR have slammed their borders firmly shut against any migrants, and what’s more, they won’t give them the generous welfare handouts that Western Europe is handing out like free sweeties. Needless to say, there’s no migrant pressure to breach the borders of those countries, but the EU, in its usual dictatorial fashion, is threatening financial penalties unless those borders are opened to migrants.

The calculation countries like Poland and Hungry are making in response to such bullying is quite simple. First, their populations have elected very conservative parties to power who ran almost exclusively on a ticket of protecting the country from the sort of corrosive cultural overwhelming that’s destroyed small countries like Sweden. The second consideration is possibly more cynical, but I suspect quite accurate. They think the EU in its current irredeemable form is doomed and most probably won’t be there in five years time.

Growth has slowed, Trump and the rest of the world are ready to pull the plugs on the traditional one-sided tariffs situation and the Euro which never really took off as a strong currency, is looking increasingly fragile. We could be going back to Deutschmarks, Lira and French francs the day after a big run on the currency happens on the foreign exchange markets.

The final straw has been Islamic terrorism and the bend over backwards attitude of governments and the media to present each one as the work of some lone deranged madmen. That cover story stopped working a long time ago. When a guardsman has his head hacked off in a London street by two Muslims shouting about Allah, the jig is up for all the spin. We’re in a war situation, and the ordinary person knows that, even if their governments refuse to acknowledge that simple fact.

Add the almost inexplicable and disgraceful protection of Muslim gangs for decades pimping out thousands of young boys and girls, our most vulnerable children, becomes such a massive scandal that the lid can’t be kept on it by intimidating or firing people who’re trying to stop it, then all patience with the old politics has gone.

To use an element of the traditional oath taken by British police officers, “to enforce the law without fear or favour”. If that doesn’t begin to happen very soon, Europe will see the rise of some real right-wing extremist parties, and what happens from then on will be far from pretty.

You have been warned.
