Globalist Macron Meeting With Populist Le Pen Amid Struggle to Form French Govt.

Populist leader Marine Le Pen and two key allies are scheduled to meet with President Emmanuel Macron next week as France remains without a majority government over a month after snap national elections. President Macron will receive Le Pen alongside Jordan Bardella, president of her National Rally (RN) party, and Eric Ciotti, a leading member of the center-right Les Republicains (Republicans) who has expressed openness towards allying with RN.

The meeting is just one of several that President Macron will be holding with multiple parties as the National Assembly struggles to form a working coalition and put forward a prime minister. The previously controlling globalist-progressive bloc loyal to Macron is now in second place behind a far-left bloc, with Le Pen’s party in third—despite winning the popular vote—as the single-largest party in the legislature.

The establishment parties allied with President Macron and the far-left parties were able to block RN from any of the key positions in the parliament following the election. Le Pen slammed the move, arguing that it was undemocratic given RN’s share of voters.

During the Paris Olympics, a “truce” was declared among the parliament, but now that the games are over, President Macron is under pressure to appoint a new prime minister. This is largely due to the upcoming national budget, which is expected to be finalized and presented in September.

Outgoing Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, a Macron ally, remains in post as a caretaker, but members of the far-left bloc in the legislature are demanding Macron remove him soon.

Antifa Unveil Billboard Encouraging Terrorism Against Populists.

Members of the left-extremist Antifa organization in Germany have called on supporters to carry out violent acts against properties associated with the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and its supporters. The X (formerly Twitter) account Rote Flora, named for a well-known Antifa squat in Hamburg, posted a picture of a new billboard, which lists “13 things you can do against the AfD,” including attacking AfD members and links to a website suggesting additional violent actions.

“The AfD should not feel safe in public and should not be able to spread its agitation undisturbed,” the website “13:12 Things” states, while calling on supporters to disrupt political campaign booths. The site also provides a guide on how to attack and destroy properties associated with the AfD, including party offices, restaurants, and venues that allow the party to host events.

Along with smashing windows, the Antifa authors call for attacks with butyric acid. They also call for home invasions of AfD politicians, noting their addresses can be learned from research while warning against getting an address wrong. The political terrorist group also warns that while such actions can increase “repression,” they are “legitimate.”

The AfD is currently polling in the lead in two of three East German regional elections taking place next month. Antifa lists this as the reason for the website’s creation and call to action, with the authors admitting that much of what is on the website is illegal.

EUROPE’S ULTRA-VIOLENT ANTIFA MOVEMENT.

German Antifa extremists are known as some of the most violent far-left extremists in Europe, with one group known as the Hammerbande (Hammer Gang) carrying out maiming attacks with hammers across Germany and even abroad in Budapest, Hungary in 2023.

Hungarian authorities arrested an Italian national associated with the Hammerbande but the individual was later released and was elected to the European Parliament in May, granting her immunity from prosecution.

After former President Donald J. Trump suggested Antifa be labeled a terrorist group for their politically violent tactics, establishment figures in Europe expressed their support for the terror group, with some waving an Antifa flag in the European Parliament.

Ireland Considers Revoking Tommy Robinson’s Passport After Canada Arrest.

The Irish government is considering whether to revoke the passport of anti-grooming gang activist Tommy Robinson. Born in England, Robinson holds Irish citizenship through his Irish-born mother. However, the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs is reviewing his passport status following his arrest in Canada for alleged immigration violations.

Canadian officials recorded Robinson’s country of citizenship as Ireland on an immigration form rather than Britain, presumably because he chose to travel under his Irish passport. Under the Passports Act, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Deputy Prime Minister (Tánaiste) Micheál Martin, can cancel a passport if the holder’s actions threaten national security, public safety, or violate the common good.

Its removal would complicate Robinson’s ability to move freely through the European Union (EU), of which Ireland is a member. Since 2020, he has reportedly spent some time living in Spain, another EU member, explaining that his family has become unsafe in Britain.

Robinson, who has previously displayed his Irish passport on social media, was briefly detained by Canadian authorities in Alberta in June before having his passport returned. At the time, Robinson was engaged in a speaking tour across Canada.

He also recently traveled to Ireland to document protests against mass migration in Ireland, which has received large numbers of asylum seekers in recent months. Robinson is considered a central figure in the recent anti-mass migration protests in the UK following the fatal stabbing of three young girls, allegedly by a teenager with an African migration background, by the British state. However, Robinson did not participate in them directly, and he discouraged rioting.

Religious Liberty? Ukrainian Parliament Passes Bill Banning Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

The Ukrainian legislature has adopted a bill effectively banning the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), with lawmakers and others accusing the Church of maintaining ties with Russia. The bill is expected to be signed by President Volodymyr Zelensky in the coming weeks, with UOC clergy given around nine months to prove to the state that they have severed their ties with the Russian Orthodox Church.

The ban on religious activities of any religious group connected to or sympathetic toward Russia was passed with 256 votes for the bill at its final reading, compared to just 29 lawmakers voting against it.

The law was initially proposed last year, with lawmakers such as Iryna Herashchenko of the European Solidarity party calling the Church a “sect” of the Russian security services.

Despite the crackdown on the Church, which has included the arrests of priests and bishops, who in some cases have been stripped of their Ukrainian citizenships, and the mass confiscation of churches and monasteries, thousands of priests, monks, and nuns, and millions of Ukrainians still belong to it. Its roots in the country are deep, with the Metropolitanate of Kiev first established in 988 A.D.

After Russia’s 2022 invasion, the UOC announced a split with the Moscow Patriarchate. It had previously resisted doing so for theological reasons, prompting the creation of the alternative Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU), which is backed by the Ukrainian government and has been handed much of the property confiscated from the UOC.

The OCU is recognized by the Ecumenical Patriarch in Constantinople and the Orthodox churches in Greece, Cyprus, and Alexandria. However, the Orthodox churches in Russia, Serbia, Antioch, Romania, and Poland, representing the vast majority of Orthodox Christians, consider the government-backed church uncanonical and schismatic.

Illegal Immigration Is Up Over 100 Percent In These Western European Territories.

Illegal migrant arrivals from Africa surged to unprecedented levels in Spain during the first half of August. Data from the Spanish Interior Ministry shows a sharp increase of 126 percent in the Canary Islands, off the African coast, and a 143 percent rise in Ceuta, a Spanish exclave on the coast of North Africa.

In July, Fernando Clavijo—the Canary Islands’ regional leader from a coalition of center-right parties—appealed to Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and the European Union (EU) for urgent intervention regarding migration. From January to mid-August, the Canary Islands recorded 22,304 irregular arrivals, up 126.1 percent from the same period the previous year.

While the numbers are small compared to the millions of migrants penetrating the U.S. southern border, they are transformative for the islands’ relatively small population, which includes thousands of British and German retirees. The majority of the illegals originate from Mauritania and the Sahel region, spanning the southern Sahara from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea. Violence in the region, where American influence is waning under the Biden-Harris government, is spurring large movements of migrants.

From January to August, 31,155 illegal migrants arrived in Spain, representing a 66.2 percent increase compared to the same period last year. Most of these migrants, approximately 29,512 individuals, arrived by sea on small boats. Spain remains a critical entry point to the European Union (EU) for migrants, particularly those from West African countries navigating the dangerous Atlantic route to the Canary Islands and those seeking to break into the exclaves of Ceuta and Melilla through Morocco.

The growing migrant numbers have prompted calls for action from the leader of the opposition People’s Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who requested the government declare a “migratory emergency.” The populist VOX party also frequently criticizes Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s far-left government on border security.

Great Replacement: Govt Flooding Village of Just 165 People with Hundreds of Migrants.

The Irish hamlet of Tipperary is set to be flooded with more migrants than currently live there in a government relocation scheme. The European Union (EU) member’s so-called Department of Integration previously moved hundreds of supposedly Ukrainian refugees into a local hotel, but now plans to replace them with non-Western migrants.

This move has triggered protests in Tipperary, where the local population of approximately 165 now faces the arrival of around 265 migrants, utterly transforming the village’s demographics.

The migrant population being relocated to Tipperary is reportedly comprised predominantly of single, military-age men.

Social media reports claim additional migrant compounds are being established in rural Ireland. These sites are said to be guarded by government security, housing mostly military-age males from various countries. Some claim these areas resemble military camps, with no attempts at community integration.

Earlier this month, protests erupted in Tipperary at the hotel that will be housing the migrants. Similar protests have taken place across Ireland.

Mass migration has been a major issue in the country in recent months, with riots last November following the stabbing of several children near a school in Dublin. Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) superstar Conor McGregor called on Irish people to destroy the hotels slated to house migrants, arguing that the country is at war.

Anti-mass migration protests have also swept the United Kingdom over recent weeks following the fatal stabbing of three young girls at a dance class in Southport, England. The suspect has an African migration background.

Germany Halts Military Aid to Ukraine After Nord Stream Sabotage Revelations.

Germany’s government has halted new military aid to Ukraine, supposedly prompted by a need to reduce spending. However, the move comes after new revelations that Ukraine may have been behind the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage.

Germany has issued an arrest warrant against a Ukrainian national accused of sabotaging the Nord Stream pipeline, which supplied Germany with Russian natural gas. The suspect, a diver who was formerly part of the Ukrainian armed forces, is said to have been part of a small team, including Ukrainian special forces, that carried out the pipeline sabotage, which Western leaders previously blamed on Russia.

The aid moratorium affects only new requests for funding, leaving previously approved aid unaffected. Finance Minister Christian Lindner informed the German defense ministry on August 5 that future aid will come from frozen Russian assets, not Germany’s federal budget.

The G7 nations agreed in June to use approximately $300 billion of immobilized Russian assets to secure a $50 billion loan for Ukraine. However, the details of the plan are still under negotiation and may take months to finalize.

The dispute over Ukraine aid has exacerbated tensions within Germany’s ruling coalition, which has already been fraught with disagreements over various issues, including the budget and welfare policies.

Green leader and Economy Minister Robert Habeck, who plans to run for Chancellor in the 2025 election, highlighted the coalition’s struggles to find common ground, saying, “The ideas are falling apart.”

Thousands of Afghan Migrants Returning to Afghanistan… on Vacation.

Thousands of Afghan asylum seekers living in Germany are reportedly spending their vacations in the homeland they claim they were forced to flee. They are doing so through a passport trick that makes it appear as though they only traveled to Iran.

Of the 400,000 Afghans living in Germany, around 60,000 have a Blue Pass, a replacement for a passport given to asylum seekers that allows them to travel but explicitly states that they have no right to return to the country they supposedly fled.

Despite this, hundreds travel back to Afghanistan every week from Hamburg alone. They first travel to Iran, where they can secure a double entry visa. The double entry visas are not stamped into the passports or attached to them. This means they can be easily hidden from German authorities or simply discarded before returning to Germany, so it appears the asylum seekers’ only destination was Iran.

Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser, roughly equivalent to U.S. Homeland Security Secretary, expressed little interest when confronted with the allegations, denying the Interior Ministry was even responsible and insisting the issue is a matter for local immigration authorities. However, Heiko Teggatz, chairman of the Federal Police Union, called for a law to force countries to attach visas to passports. He says the Federal Police, who manage the border, are too short-staffed.

In recent years, there have been several high-profile stabbing attacks by Afghan asylum seekers in Germany, including a mass stabbing attack in May at an anti-Islamisation rally and another mass stabbing of soccer fans in June.

Despite these crimes, the German government refuses to deport Afghan criminals back to Afghanistan, claiming the country is too dangerous for them. This view is seemingly not held by the asylum seekers who are returning to the country on vacation.

This European Nation Just Moved To Ban LGBTQ Ideology in Schools.

A law banning the promotion of LGBTQ issues in schools has just been passed by Bulgarian President Rumen Radev. The new law prohibits “propaganda, promotion, or incitement” of ideas related to nontraditional sexual orientations or gender identities other than biological ones.

The amendment, proposed by the nationalist Revival party—and passed with 159 votes in favor, 20 against, and 10 abstentions—defines “nontraditional sexual orientation” as differing from the norm of opposite-sex attraction. Supporters argue the amendments align with Bulgaria’s constitution and Orthodox Christian values. The Bulgarian Orthodox Church endorsed the changes.

Hundreds of academics urged Radev to veto the amendment, arguing it addresses a non-existent problem in the Bulgarian education system and instead promotes political attacks on the LGBTQ community. Radev did not address the calls directly, but his press service confirmed that signing the law reflected his stance on the changes.

On August 15, hundreds of protesters in Sofia demanded Radev’s resignation and the repeal of the law, chanting slogans like “Fascism kills, power covers up” and “Shame on you.” A counterprotest by the pro-Russian party Vazrazhdane took place simultaneously.

Hungary passed a similar law in 2021 aimed at protecting children from pedophiles, forbidding the display of LGBTQ ideological content to minors in schools as well as in popular media. Same-sex marriage and gay adoption are also banned in the country.

The law was met with fierce opposition from liberals across Europe. Fifteen countries, including Germany and France, launched lawsuits demanding its repeal. The stance of Bulgaria and Hungary are in firm contrast with parts of the United States, where judges have ruled that parents cannot opt their children out of LGBTQ indoctrination.

ICYMI: Taliban Parades U.S. Equipment Abandoned by Biden-Harris.

The Taliban is parading the American military hardware abandoned to them by the Biden-Harris government. The parade included U.S. military vehicles, helicopters, and weapons and was held at Bagram airbase, which former President Donald J. Trump had planned to keep in American hands following an orderly withdrawal from the country.

According to a report from the Department of Defense Inspector General, the Biden-Harris government left behind equipment valued at $7.12 billion in its botched withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.

The equipment inventory left behind includes nearly $1 billion worth of aircraft, over 40,000 military vehicles, more than 300,000 weapons, and tens of millions of dollars worth of ammunition. Almost all the communications equipment provided to Western-backed Afghan forces and advanced electronics are also under Taliban control.

The U.S. withdrawal has been criticized for its chaotic execution and impact on America’s reputation. Analysts argue the Biden-Harris regime’s perceived weakness may have influenced Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine six months later.

During the Afghanistan withdrawal, a terrorist attack in Kabul killed 13 U.S. service members.

Former President Donald J. Trump has described the fiasco as a humiliation for America, paving the way for not just the Ukraine war but the later Hamas terror raids on Israel. He argues these global crises would not have arisen under a reelected Trump administration.
