In Topics: Commies History Globalists World Political Stupidity
From Stornaway in the northeast Atlantic to Gibraltar at the entrance to the Mediterranean, with a small cut-out for Hungary, Iron Curtain 2.0 has descended across the Continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the Woke states of Europe. Dublin, London, Paris,
A shadow has fallen upon the scenes so lately lighted by Cold War victory. Nobody knows what Globalist Brussels and its Totalitarian international organisation intends to do in the immediate future, or what are the limits, if any, to their expansive and prostituting tendencies.
Four score minus a year and 3 weeks ago, 2 States away, summa y'all prolly heard this same story from a guy named Winston Churchill. He was talking about the Communists. This time it's the Globalists enacting Totalitarianism and Oppression.

We discussed this oppression of Europe by the Globalists in a recent post, Defeating Globalism: Europeans v Americans. The UK and Germany were more than mentioned, with the aspects of Orwellian speech control and the abolition of opposing political parties, respectively. I can't say I've been following it heavily, but at least I've read headlines and a few stories about Romania and the Globalist-implemented Do-over after the rightful election of Calin Georgescu last November. The problem was Tic-Tok, apparently ... or something. Now, he can't even run in a Do-over, as, per a court ruling in mid-March, he has been banned from running again. Didn't the Communists do this sort of thing 80 years ago?
We didn't discuss France in that "Defeating Globalism" post, but there's big news there. Rather than just banning her party or awaiting election results in anticipation of a possibly-needed Do-over, Marine Le Pen has been arrested and sentenced to a 4 year (2-years of suspended) prison sentence. No, but she can't win an election from prison, as we thought might have had to be the case for Donald Trump. Miss Le Pen has just been banned from running in elections for 5 years. (That ought to cover it.)
I no longer put any credence in reports of charges of election interference, embezzlement or any other accusations.*** We've learned quite a bit over here over the last 4 years. Whether it's politicians or not, Totalitarians will say whatever they need to. The old Soviet Union would have charged any "enemy of the State", aka, non-Communist, with online child pornography (as the FBI may do here) had they had the internet then, and computers, and pornography, and enough cabbage even to fulfill the bottom of that pyramid of needs.
Whatever the charges are, prison and/or fines ($100,000 or so for Miss Le Pen), how do they come up with "not being allowed to run for election" as part of a sentence?
The Soviets or the Red Chinese would have done the very same, that is, until they had complete control, at which point nobody will be stupid enough to run for ANYTHING.
How's it gonna go this time, assuming America still stands against Globalism? NATO won't do us any good against all the rest of the membership of NATO. Rather than the Warsaw Pact, we may see the Brussels Pact this time, with even more countries in the West Bloc than the old East Bloc had. At least we've got a whole big ocean, so we don't need to guard any new Fulda Gap. Let's hold onto that Triad though (ICBMs, bombers, and the subs).
Here, people have been telling us that this Ukraine thing is part of Cold War II. It doesn't look that way. Iron Curtain 2.0 may even be closer, passing just west of the Acela Corridor. Richmond can be our new Capital... hey, wait a minute ...
What I'm looking forward to this time around is the coming Budapest Airlift, to supply a whole city stuck behind Iron Curtain 2.0. We'll have much bigger Lifters this time.
Peak Stupidity Disclaimer [added per PS Legal Dept.:] Plagiarism is perfectly fine. Everybody does it - our last President did it as did the new Prime Minister of Canada. Sod off about it, already.
* The whole original "Sinews of Peace" speech. Churchill pushed the UNO, now UN, pretty hard too.
** On the 1st page of search results for this Mr. Georgescu of 9 blurbs, 7 of them have "far-right" in the title, the blurb, or both. One of the other 2 calls him an "Ultranationalist" (NY Times) and the other brings up money embezzled or something. (What's new?)

PS: J.D. Vance is turning out to be a better man than I'd have thought.

The only practical difference between the Bolsheviks of old and the EU elite is that the Bolshveviks would have taken Geogescu and Le Pen out and hanged or shot them. I would wager this is only because the EU is deluded enough to think they can “other” their dissidents enough to keep the people uninterested in taking up the cause.
The lights of liberty are being snuffed all over Europe. JD Vance was spot-on about who the real threats are.
