‘Full Scale European War’ Chances ‘Significantly Increasing,’ Says Moscow.

Western interference in the war in Ukraine is “significantly increasing” the chances of a full-scale European war, says leading Moscow military staff.

“The possibility of an escalation of the conflict in Ukraine — from the expansion of participants in ‘proxy forces’ used for military confrontation with Russia to a large-scale war in Europe — cannot be ruled out,” said Colonel-General Vladimir Zarudnitsky, head of the Russian army’s Military Academy of the General Staff. “The likelihood of our state being purposefully drawn into new military conflicts is significantly increasing,” he added.

Zarudnitsky’s warning comes as Western powers continue to escalate their involvement in Russia’s war against Ukraine.

A recent German military leak revealed that British troops are already active on Ukrainian soil. The leak occurred soon after French President Emmanuel Macron indicated he would send soldiers to Ukraine to fight Russian forces. While there is “no consensus today to send in an official, endorsed manner troops on the ground” to Ukraine, “nothing can be ruled out,” Macron said.

In another recent bombshell report, it was revealed that the CIA has had an active presence in Ukraine since around the time of the so-called Maidan Revolution and is continuing to support Ukrainian forces. The Biden government has been desperately trying to escalate US involvement in the war, even at the cost of US defense capabilities. Last week, it was reported that regime officials are considering sending US arms shipments to Ukraine without replenishing stockpiles.

Warmonger Macron Keeps Trying to Start a NATO-Russia Hot War.

French President Emmanuel Macron has said there are “no limits” to France’s support for Kiev, further attempting to intensify pro-war sentiments as Sweden joins the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

His statement came during a meeting held with the country’s political party leaders at the Elysee Palace to deliberate on the situation in Ukraine.

After the meeting, Fabien Roussel, national secretary of the French Communist Party, said Macron had expressed that “France’s position [on the war] has changed” and that “there are no more red lines, there are no more limits.”

The French government’s increasingly belligerent approach to the war in Ukraine follows Macron’s comments that he would not rule out sending troops to fight there and comes as a senior Russian military official warned that increasing Western interference in Ukraine could spark a full-scale war in Europe.

“[A] large-scale war in Europe… cannot be ruled out,” said Colonel-General Vladimir Zarudnitsky, head of the Russian army’s Military Academy of the General Staff. “The likelihood of our state being purposefully drawn into new military conflicts is significantly increasing.”

France does not appear to be the only Western nation willing to spark a European-wide war. This week, it was revealed that British troops are on the ground and active in Ukraine.

Trump Judge Orders Biden Govt to Stop Discriminating Against Whites.

A federal judge appointed by Donald Trump has ruled the US Commerce Department’s Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) can no longer discriminate against white people.

“The MBDA advertises services exclusively for some races but not others,” Judge Mark Pittman explained in his ruling. He added that the agency’s “racial presumptions” violated the equal protection guarantees in the Fifth Amendment and that even if its work “may help alleviate” supposed “opportunity gaps” for minorities, “two wrongs do not make a right. And the MBDA’s racial presumption is a wrong.”

While the MBDA thrived under Joe Biden, who promotes race ideology strongly, it was founded decades ago under President Richard Nixon as the Office of Minority Business Enterprise.

However, Judge Pittman insisted the agency’s age was insufficient to justify its methods, stating: “If courts mean what they say when they ascribe supreme importance to constitutional rights… the federal government may not flagrantly violate such rights with impunity. The MBDA has done so for years. Time’s up.”

The case against the MBDA was brought by the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, representing small business owners from  Wisconsin, Florida, and Texas who complained the agency had rejected them for being white.

Laken Riley’s Murderer Has Family Ties to Notorious Tren de Aragua Gang Targeted by Trump.

Diego Ibarra, brother of Jose Ibarra, the illegal alien accused of murdering Laken Riley, is likely a member of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang, according to court documents.

Diego Ibarra was detained around the same time as his brother after he showed homicide investigators a counterfeit green card. Reports indicate he used it to secure employment at the university Riley attended.

Previously, Diego Ibarra has been arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and driving without a license, theft by shoplifting, and failing to appear for fingerprinting. He is known to have crossed the US border at least twice and was involved in a violent attack on a border official during the second crossing. He escaped prosecution by claiming to have epilepsy, however.

Prosecutors have now disclosed they believe he is a member of Tren de Aragua, a violent Venezuelan gang, citing gang-related social media posts and his distinctive tattoos. The gang has begun to make its presence felt in US cities as illegal immigration from Venezuela reaches unprecedented levels under Joe Biden.

Recently, former President Donald Trump warned that Tren de Aragua is partly responsible for the “33,000 assaults, 3,000 robberies, almost 7,000 burglaries, 7,500 weapons offenses, 4,300 sex crimes, 1,600 kidnappings, and 1,700 homicides” linked to illegal aliens detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

21 Illegals Caught in Florida Human Trafficking Investigation.

Law enforcement officials arrested 228 people, including 21 illegal aliens, in a multi-agency anti-human trafficking operation titled “Operation March Sadness 2024.”

The eight-day-long operation was carried out in Florida and was driven by Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd. Judd criticized the prevailing flexible immigration policies, attributing the crisis at the border to these lax laws.

“We have a crisis at the border. And because of the crisis at the border, we have people that are victimizing illegal folks, forcing them into the sex trade,” Judd said. “Because we allow these criminals in the country illegally. We all rail about this, and nobody pays any attention.”

Those arrested included illegal aliens from countries such as Chile, Cuba, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela.

Judd also reported a specific instance involving a suspect brought to Florida from New York, coupled with three females, all of whom were in the US illegally. The females claimed they were under the control of a female trafficker and forced to pay $3,000 each under threat. Judd alleged these illegal immigrants were permitted to fly freely by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

“They said when they came into the country illegally, the DHS gave them a form, an ID, paperwork, that allows them to fly for free,” Judd said. “You know how Southwest (Airlines) will let your bags fly free? The federal government will let your illegal immigrants fly free.”

The recent influx of illegal aliens into America has brought with it a dramatic increase in crime. Former President Donald Trump recently observed, “We have a new category of crime, it’s called migrant crime, and it’s going to be worse than any other form of crime.”

Super Tuesday Plagued By Election Glitches, Delays, and Other Issues.

Voters nationwide ran into delays, voting machine errors, and other issues while trying to cast their ballots on Super Tuesday. Localities in Alabama, California, Texas, and Utah all reported election day issues that caused long lines and resulted in some voters leaving without filling out a ballot.

Nevada County, County California, could not check in voters for nearly an hour on Tuesday morning. Officials said the county’s computerized check-in system was down at the time. Voters who were impacted were allowed to cast provisional ballots. Officials for Nevada County said the check-in system issue resulted from a vendor error and not a complication on their end.

A newly formed congressional district in Alabama resulted in serious confusion among election officials and voters. In Montgomery County, election officials sent 6,593 voters the incorrect district information — resulting in some voters trying to vote in a neighboring congressional race. The Montgomery County Board of Elections says that election software used by the county erroneously identified some voters living in the 7th Congressional District as residing in the 2nd Congressional District instead.

Once again, Harris County, Texas, saw several concerning election issues. The Texas county, which includes Houston, has a long history of election controversies — and Super Tuesday was no different. Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg (D) tried to vote, only to be told she had already cast her ballot. According to the county clerk, Ogg’s life partner had accidentally voted in her earlier in the week. The Democrat lost her re-election bid. Other Texas counties sent the wrong ballots to precincts — again caused by redistricting issues — while others experienced delays as ballot scanners failed.

In Utah, an attempt to use “QR Codes” to sign in state caucus goers ran into severe technical glitches. The digital system could not handle the volume of voters and stopped functioning. Republican officials were forced, instead, to check in voters by hand and compare their ID with voter rolls. The slow process resulted in many caucusgoers simply leaving. In Salt Lake County, the caucus ran out of ballots. Caucusgoers were directed to write down their presidential choice on a scrap of paper. Those voters were then later hand-counted.

Republicans Probe GoFundMe & Eventbrite Over Transaction Surveillance.

The US House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government is investigating the role of various financial entities in surveilling political terms in the wake of the January 6, 2021, events in Washington, DC. These entities, supposedly spurred on by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), allegedly tracked terms such as “Trump” and “MAGA” on platforms such as Eventbrite and GoFundMe, with questions arising over the extent of government influence on digital platforms.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan has written letters to Eventbrite and GoFundMe, questioning activities during that time, citing evidence that FinCEN “encouraged private financial institutions to review customer transactions using politically sensitive terms.” Other keywords subject to surveillance reportedly included “America First,” “Pelosi,” and “Pence.” Jordan argues these transactions, apparently unrelated to criminal activity, were treated by FinCEN as potential threats despite their intersection with First Amendment rights.

Chairman Jordan has asked event management platform Eventbrite and crowd funder GoFundMe to provide documented information regarding potential collusion between the government and digital platforms. The committee has given the companies until March 18 to respond. The letters detailed how individuals who purchased tickets to President Trump’s events could be identified, and the committee alleged it constituted “pervasive financial surveillance.” Concerns have been raised regarding potential abuses of American citizens’ fundamental civil liberties.

SCOTUS Will Hear Donald Trump’s Presidential Immunity Claim on April 25.

The Supreme Court has scheduled April 25 to hear oral arguments regarding former President Donald Trump’s presidential immunity claim, which would end DOJ special prosecutor Jack Smith’s federal case against Trump for alleged election interference. The justices will weigh whether a former president is immune from criminal charges for acts carried out while in office.

This hearing is crucial to both Trump and Smith, as the justices could take several months post-oral presentations to decide on the matter. If the Supreme Court rules against Trump’s claim, Smith’s prosecution will move forward and potentially coincide with the November presidential election. The case, pushed by President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice, has been put on hold pending the high court’s verdict on Trump’s assertion of immunity.

US District Court judge Tayna Chutkan — presiding over Smith’s federal prosecution of Trump — previously ruled against the former President’s immunity claim. Her decision was appealed to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Last month, the federal appellate court also ruled against Trump, setting up the former President’s appeal to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court’s decision will likely end the legal uncertainty surrounding presidential immunity and could potentially set a legal precedent for future cases involving ex-presidents.

EU Launches $1.6B Subsidy Program for Weapons Manufacturing.

On Tuesday, the European Commission announced a €1.5 billion ($1.62B) subsidy program called the European Defence Investment Programme as part of its European Defence Industrial Strategy.

The move comes as the European government tries to minimize its reliance on US military capabilities in the face of what it describes as Russian ‘aggression.’

When presenting the strategy, the European Commissioner for Internal Market claimed that Europe faces an “existential threat.” Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, said, “In response to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, the EU must bolster its defense capabilities.”

“[The strategy] is not an answer to the war in Ukraine, but rather a broader response to a strategic paradigm shift. It’s a recognition that [defense] is a subject that’s not going to go away for a while,” said Camille Grand, a former NATO assistant secretary-general and current fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations.

Globalist WSJ Admits Cheap, Migrant Labor Kills U.S. Productivity.

US businesses’ increasing reliance on cheap, immigrant labor is hurting American productivity. A report from The Wall Street Journal suggests that overreliance on cheap labor dissuades industries from becoming more efficient and innovative — ultimately preventing the economy from expanding at a significant pace.

“Once industry is organized in a certain way and the structure encourages employers to recruit migrants, it can be very hard to turn back,” Prof. Martin Ruhs, who teaches migration studies in Florence, Italy, told The Wall Street Journal. Addressing Western mass immigration policies, he added: “In some cases, policymakers should ask, does it make sense?”

Productivity and innovation have been core drivers of Western economies for several centuries. However, that may change if Western economies continue relying on cheap immigrant labor. In 2022, a Danish academic study found that companies were less inclined to invest in robotic technology and automation if they had easy access to immigrant workers.

Among the Western nations of Canada, the UK, Germany, and the US, the current rate of immigration is as much as three times higher than it was before the COVID-19 pandemic. The Wall Street Journal notes this is likely to exacerbate sluggish growth in labor productivity, which has lagged among the Western nations for several decades.

Over a quarter of the UK’s nurses working for the National Health Service are immigrants. In Germany, 80 percent of the country’s butchers are foreign laborers.

In the US, several critical industries have become almost entirely reliant on immigrant labor. Immigrant labor comprises about 75 percent of agricultural workers and around 30 percent of construction and mining labor. Government data indicates that the American agricultural sector has seen almost zero productivity growth in over a decade.
