A migrant attacked and injured four people with a knife in Amsterdam whilst livestreaming the incident online. It is reported that, for unknown reasons, an argument had previously broken out between the suspect and his subsequent victims.
In the video footage, some of the victims can reportedly be heard shouting “Don’t touch us” several times. The suspect is then said to have replied that he was not afraid to take on six or seven men. “You’re all getting knocked to the ground.” The victims, as well as the suspect, who also sustained injuries, were taken to hospital following the incident.
The 43-year-old suspect is believed to be an influencer named Angelo Bryson. He became known for his pro-Palestinian content and is said to have recently converted to Islam.

Bryson is of Curaçaoan origin. He is said to have recently posted a photo showing him with Stephan van Baarle, a politician from the Dutch migrant party Denk. Following the incident, Bryson’s supporters spread the claim online that the victims had been “white racists” and had verbally attacked him beforehand.

40% of Berlin Police Applicants Can’t Speak German

Medforth AI

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

How do you say ‘Wir Schaffen Das”, Angela Merkel’s favorite slogan, in Arabic? The Berlin police will find out soon enough.

Berlin is struggling to recruit enough police officers because applicants are unable to speak German, according to the force’s president.

Barbara Slowik Meisel revealed that 40 per cent of applicants failed a German language skills test.

Ms Slowik Meisel said the trend, driven by increasing numbers of migrant applications, had created a dilemma for the Berlin police department: it cannot lower its standards but also urgently needs officers.

“We have applicants, but we also have high standards that we cannot lower,” she told RBB, a German broadcaster. “[As police officers] we have to explain our police actions day in and day out … and also possibly document things in writing.”

It’s okay, they’ll just use Google Translate to explain that “she was outside without a hijab so she had it coming” or “synagogue/church was offensive to my religion of killing non-Muslims.”

Of the 240 officer cadets who began their training in spring 2025, 132 required extra German tuition, Berlin police figures show.

I’m sure these folks will faithfully execute German law once they’re given a few tutorials. Let’s see how things are going in the UK.

A serving Metropolitan Police officer is due to appear at St Albans Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 27 August 2026 charged with three counts of rape following an investigation by Hertfordshire Constabulary’s Sexual Offences Investigation Team (SOIT).

Mohammad Adil Waheed, aged 23, was arrested on Thursday 4 December 2025 in London. He was subsequently charged on Tuesday 28 July 2026 with three counts of rape relating to alleged off-duty offences involving a woman in July 2025.

Oh but that’s just one Mohammed. Surely there can’t be a pattern.

A police chase on the M62 motorway in West Yorkshire reached speeds of up to 120 MPH as officers tried to intercept a car after the woman inside called the authorities pleading for help.

The unusual car chase ended with the capture and arrest of the police officer at the wheel.

Mohammad Hassan, a trainee on the Greater Manchester Police, was accused of oral rape, kidnap, strangulation, and sexual assault, among other crimes, and his victim was released.

According to the authorities, Hassan had gotten out of “the car, placed his hand on the woman’s neck and ‘bundled her into the car’”, drove her to a location in Manchester, a former English city that had become notorious for its large Muslim enclaves and the sex trafficking and grooming gangs operating there, raped her and then tried to evade police by driving at high speeds.

Get him some English language lessons stat. And a few pamphlets explaining how rape is illegal in the UK. (Until Islamic law is implemented anyway.)

Iceland Votes NO to Joining European Union in Latest Blow to Globalist Elites

Iceland has rejected a renewed push toward membership of the European Union, with voters on course to vote against reopening accession negotiations with Brussels in a bitter blow for globalist elites.

With results declared in five of the country’s six constituencies on Sunday morning, the “No” campaign held an unassailable lead of around 52.5 percent.

The result represents a significant setback for Iceland’s left-wing government, which called the referendum in an effort to revive accession talks abandoned more than a decade ago.

The question put to Icelanders was straightforward: “Should Iceland resume accession negotiations with the European Union?”

The referendum was not itself a vote on joining the EU.

A victory for the “Yes” campaign would merely have restarted negotiations with Brussels, with any eventual membership agreement requiring approval in a second referendum.

Nevertheless, a “No” victory would effectively end Iceland’s membership ambitions.

The results revealed a typical geographic divide.

Reykjavík backed renewed negotiations, with “Yes” receiving 57.5 percent in Reykjavík North and 54.5 percent in Reykjavík South.

Rural Iceland, decisively rejected the proposal. More than 60 percent voted “No” in the South, Northwest and Northeast constituencies. 

Opponents of membership have argued that Iceland is already sufficiently integrated into the EU through its membership of the European Economic Area without surrendering sovereignty to Brussels.

Control over Iceland’s enormously important fishing industry was among the most contentious issues during the campaign, alongside immigration, agriculture, the economy and the country’s ability to determine its own laws.

Iceland originally applied to join the EU in 2009 after its banking system collapsed during the global financial crisis.

Formal negotiations began the following year but were suspended after a Eurosceptic government took power in 2013.

The country subsequently informed Brussels in 2015 that it no longer wished to be regarded as a candidate, although EU has lobbied them aggressively to reverse that decision.

Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadóttir’s Social Democratic Alliance favors closer European integration, but she pledged before the referendum to respect the public’s decision.

Only time will tell whether she makes good on that promise.

UK: ‘Predatory’ Eritrean migrant jailed for eight years after raping and strangling woman in Crewe

Fikadu Yemane, 29, who lives in Manchester, was found guilty following a 10-day trial | CHESHIRE POLICE

An Eritrean migrant has been jailed for eight years after raping and strangling a 19-year-old woman in Cheshire.

Fikadu Yemane, 29, who lives in Manchester, was found guilty following a 10-day trial at Chester Crown Court.

The court heard that Yemane subjected the young woman to a violent sexual assault at a property in Crewe on July 16, 2025, leaving visible injuries to her neck.

Yemane and the victim already knew each other and had arranged through social media to meet in Manchester city centre on the day of the attack.

They later travelled to Crewe with a second man before Yemane was left alone with the woman at the property.

Yemane dragged her into a bedroom, stripped off her clothing and raped her.

During the attack, he placed his hand over her mouth and squeezed her throat with such force that she came close to blacking out as she fought back.

The second man eventually returned to the property and pulled Yemane away from the victim, allowing her to escape and raise the alarm.

Yemane fled on foot before officers arrived and remained at large for six days before he was arrested in Manchester.

While evading police, he changed the SD card in his mobile phone in an attempt to destroy digital evidence.

Officers searching the Crewe property discovered a condom containing DNA from both Yemane and the victim in a wheelie bin outside, alongside the woman’s underwear.

When questioned by detectives, Yemane denied that sexual activity had taken place while also maintaining that what happened between himself and the victim was consensual.

Detective Constable Jaymie Johnson, of Cheshire Police, branded Yemane’s behaviour “downright predatory”.

She said: “He took advantage of a vulnerable victim, who thought she was with someone she could trust, before going on to rape her and cause her serious injury when she bravely fought back against him.”

DC Johnson said that despite the forensic evidence, Yemane denied the offences and forced his victim to relive the attack during the trial.

She added: “I am glad that the jury have reached a guilty verdict on both counts and Yemane has been handed a significant custodial sentence.”

Yemane was sentenced to eight years in prison after being convicted of one count of rape and one count of intentional strangulation.

The Eritrean migrant was also ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register indefinitely.

Upon his eventual release, he will be monitored by specialist officers for the remainder of his life.

Germany: Son who converted to Islam stabs father in the heart with a knife

DO-Hörde HBF – Google Maps

Alexander Z. (49) used to stand in combat gear in a trench in Ukraine. With an assault rifle in his hands, he defended his homeland against Putin’s invading army. Yet he did not meet his end on the battlefield: it was his own son (15) who is alleged to have stabbed the soldier in the chest with a knife after the family moved to Dortmund, whilst his father was lying on the sofa.

Two stab wounds struck the soldier, piercing his lung and heart. Paramedics fought in vain to save the father’s life. Alexander Z. died on the sofa, covered in blood. His son Kevin, who dialled the emergency services himself, was arrested at the scene.

Neighbours describe him as kind and polite. The newspaper *BILD* has learnt from investigative sources that the teenager had converted to Islam a year before the incident.

According to information obtained by BILD, the Homicide Squad believes the teenager may have become radicalised. It remains unclear whether this was a motive for the alleged murder of his own father. Friends of the teenager have told BILD that Kevin owned a copy of the Koran and prayed daily on a carpet in his bedroom. He is also said to have visited a mosque regularly.
Searching for clues in the apartment building in the Hörde district of Dortmund, where the family lived a secluded life: what neighbours there have said suggests that another motive is at least conceivable. There are said to have been repeated arguments in the flat. One neighbour claims that there was even domestic violence.

Another neighbour recalls the day of the brutal attack: she heard Alexander Z.’s screams. “Then it suddenly became quiet,” said the resident.

Did Kevin Z. attack his father because there had been yet another family row? Or did the teenager drift into Islamist circles and therefore grabbed a knife? The police are now investigating the exact circumstances behind the attack.

Ali Mojab (36) has taken on the teenager’s defence. The experienced lawyer told BILD: “In order to be able to give a definitive assessment, the exact circumstances of the crime must first be clarified. It must also be examined whether, in this case, dialling the emergency number could constitute a defence that exempts him from criminal liability.”

Farage’s Reform Party Vows to Roll Back Mail-In Voting, Require English Language Ability

Nigel Farage told GB News he had won ‘very convincingly’ before the count was count declared | REFORM UK

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party has said that it will take steps to prevent non-English speakers from voting in British elections, restrict mail-in ballots, and rescind voting rights from Commonwealth citizens in a bid to reverse some of the impact of mass migration on UK democracy.

Reform MP for East Wiltshire, Danny Kruger, has tabled amendments to the Representation of the People Bill, which he said Reform UK would enact if given power at the next general election, should the left-wing Labour government fail to implement them.

Kruger, a former member of the Conservative Party who has been given the brief of untangling the Blairite deep state with the aim of returning power to the British people and their representatives in Parliament, said that trust in the current voting system has been eroded as a result of mass migration and thus needs to be reformed to reflect that the United Kingdom is one nation.

“We increasingly see elections being fought on ethnic and sectarian grounds, with appeals in foreign languages, often for causes – Kashmir, Gaza – that are nothing to with Britain or the remit of the politicians being elected. We will insist that all regulated election material must be in languages that are native to the British Isles,” Kruger said.

The lawmaker added that around 2.5 million non-British citizens from the Commonwealth, a collection of former imperial holdings and territories with continued links to the UK, including countries like India, Nigeria, and Pakistan, are allowed to vote in British elections if they are living in the country. Kruger said that a Reform government would revoke the privilege and restrict voting to British and Irish citizens.

“Voting is a conditional right – conditional on membership of the British nation, on independence from undue influence, on understanding the democracy you are part of. These conditions used to be implicit; due to mass migration we need to make them explicit,” Kruger remarked.

Additionally, Reform’s Election Integrity Bill would roll back the widespread proliferation of mail-in voting, which Kruger described as a “flagrant abuse of a system designed for people physically unable to get to the polling station.”

The Reform MP said that around one in four votes at the last general election were submitted by post, which he claimed “enables the harvesting of votes by community elders in support of sectarian causes.”

Therefore, the party would look to limit postal voting to members of the British Armed Forces, diplomats serving abroad, and those who are “genuinely unable to vote in person”.

Finally, Kruger said that the election reforms would bar so-called “family voting”, in which typically an older male in often Muslim families accompanies his wife or daughters into the polling booth to ensure they vote the family line, thus facilitating sectarian voting. Independent observers reported widespread instances of such family voting in the recent special by-election in the Manchester constituency of Gorton and Denton earlier this year.

“We will empower officials in polling stations to insist people vote alone – and if they plainly can’t understand the voting system, their ballot will be set aside altogether (with the right of appeal to a magistrate),” Kruger said.

Commenting on the proposals, Reform UK Shadow Chancellor Robert Jenrick said: “It should not be controversial to say Britain should be run in the interests of the British people.”

Reform leader Nigel Farage added: “Political parties in Britain should not be able to campaign in foreign languages. British elections should be for the British people.”

Utopia’s Butchers

Skulls of Khmer Rouge victims. Wikimedia Commons, Anonymous, PD-self

by Lars Møller 

The sectarian, antidemocratic, and antirational character of egalitarianism has been exposed with grim consistency across two centuries of revolutionary experiment. From the Jacobin committees of public safety to the Politburos of Moscow, Beijing, and their satellite regimes in Africa and Asia, the pattern recurs: utopian doctrine, once armed with state power, converts political disagreement into existential crime and answers it with systematic slaughter.

A political monster from birth, socialism—along with its Siamese twin, communism, the progeny of egalitarianism and collectivism—does not merely fail to deliver abundance; it systematically produces oppression, terror, and bloodshed because its core premises—absolute knowledge of history’s direction, the moral necessity of liquidating class enemies, and the engineering of a purified human type—cannot tolerate the messy pluralism of ordinary social life.

The French Revolution supplied the template. Between 1793 and 1794, the Committee of Public Safety under Robespierre and his associates institutionalized the guillotine as an instrument of political hygiene. The revolutionary calendar, the cult of the Supreme Being, and the Law of Suspects were not accidental excesses; they expressed the conviction that a regenerated republic required the excision of every residual loyalty to throne, altar, or local custom. Enemies were no longer rival politicians but “enemies of the human race.” The same logic later animated Lenin’s Red Terror, the Cheka’s summary executions, Mao’s land-reform killings and Cultural Revolution struggle sessions, and the purges that accompanied socialist seizures of power from Ethiopia to Cambodia. 

In each case, the revolutionaries confronted external military pressure and internal resistance; yet the decisive factor was ideological. They believed themselves architects of a flawless social order whose realization justified any immediate cost. Dissent therefore registered not as legitimate opposition but as sabotage of progress itself. Absolute transformation of economy, culture, and personality demanded absolute obedience; terror supplied the short-cut.

This conceited disposition shares the psychological and structural architecture of murderous religious sectarianism. Both rest on a triad of (a) othering, (b) aversion, and (c) moralization. The opposing group is rendered alien, inherently defective, and cosmically dangerous. Language follows: rivals become pests, parasites, or tumors requiring surgical removal. Compromise appears as betrayal; electoral setback or doctrinal deviation becomes an existential threat that legitimates pre-emptive violence. Violence turns inwards as well. Jacobin factions guillotined their own moderates; Bolsheviks liquidated Socialist Revolutionaries and later Trotskyists; Maoists destroyed rival Red Guard units and party cadres judged insufficiently pure.

Charismatic entrepreneurs of radicalism exploit historical grievances, centralize authority, and punish deviation with exemplary severity. Where formal institutions have collapsed or proved incapable of delivering security and identity, the sectarian organization steps into the vacuum, offering club goods in exchange for total submission. History itself is instrumentalized: selected martyrdoms and ancient wrongs are woven into a continuous narrative of victimhood that demands contemporary blood payment.

Socialism dressed this sectarian psychology in the white coat of “science.” Marxism-Leninism presented itself as the exact science of historical development. Once the laws of motion of society were known, policy ceased to be a matter of prudential judgment and became the application of discovered necessity. Disagreement therefore constituted not merely political error but scientific heresy or, in extreme formulations, mental pathology. The claim conferred moral immunity: human costs could be catalogued as the temporary friction of inevitable advance. Forced collectivization in the Soviet Union and China rested on theoretical models of agricultural organization that ignored soil, climate, and peasant knowledge. When the resulting famines killed millions, the doctrine supplied its own alibi—saboteurs and wreckers—rather than conceding theoretical failure.

Lysenko’s rejection of Mendelian genetics in favor of a “Marxist biology” that promised the inheritance of acquired characteristics wrecked Soviet agricultural research for a generation and deepened the shortages that it was meant to cure. Surgical metaphors proliferated: society required cleansing, tumors had to be excised, the body politic had to be purified. The tyrant who claimed mastery of the sciences became the sole legitimate interpreter of reality; all others were reduced to objects of experimental correction.

The antirational core of the project lies here. Rational politics accepts the limits of knowledge, the permanence of conflicting interests, and the necessity of institutional restraints on power. Socialist doctrine denies those limits. It treats human beings as plastic material for the construction of a “new man” free of traditional attachments, religious consolations, and class loyalties. Erasing those attachments requires continuous violence against memory, family, and conscience. Democracy, understood as the institutionalization of disagreement and the periodic transfer of power, becomes an intolerable delay in the realization of the scientifically certified future.

Hence the characteristic sequence of events in the revolutionary seizure of absolute power: control over the state, suppression of rival parties, nationalization of the means of production, and the progressive extension of surveillance and terror into every sphere of private life. The process is not accidental corruption of an otherwise benign ideal; it is the logical working-out of premises that refuse to acknowledge the partial, fallible, and conflictual character of human association.

Conservative skepticism towards such projects rests on a more pessimistic anthropology. Human beings are neither infinitely malleable nor reliably guided by abstract reason alone. They inherit customs, hierarchies, and loyalties that constrain the worst excesses of power and provide the only durable foundations for ordered liberty. Radical attempts to abolish those constraints in the name of perfect equality or perfect community unleash the very passions—envy, resentment, the lust for domination—that the constraints were designed to moderate.

The historical record from 1793 onwards confirms the prediction. Wherever socialist parties have obtained monopoly power, the effect has been the concentration of coercive capacity in the hands of a self-appointed vanguard, the criminalization of ordinary economic activity, and the transformation of political rivals into biological threats. The body count is measured in tens of millions; the cultural damage— the habituation of entire populations to fear, the targeted eradication of spiritual traditions and independent thought, the moral erosion and brutalization of civil society, the corruption of language—is less quantifiable yet equally enduring.

The persistence of socialist temptations on campus and in other anti-Western circles, despite the dystopian record, itself illustrates the sectarian dynamic. Each failure is attributed to incomplete application, external sabotage, or insufficient purity rather than the internal contradictions of Marxist-Leninist doctrine. The next generation of conceited enthusiasts and conspirators therefore begins again, allegedly convinced that this time the science will be correctly applied and the new man successfully forged. The cycle continues because the doctrine supplies both an explanation of all previous disasters and an absolution for the next round of experimentation.

Against the closed system of revolutionary fiction, empirical history and philosophical caution offer the only durable resistance: the recognition that societies are not laboratories, that human nature is not infinitely plastic, and that the price of utopian certainty is ultimately paid in blood.

Trans-Identified Male Convicted of Child Sexual Abuse Returned to Women’s Prison After Release and Re-Offending

A trans-identified male previously convicted of sexually abusing a girl under the age of 13 has landed back in a Minnesota women’s prison after being convicted on new felony charges. Daniel Patrick Benz, 39, had recently been released from the state’s only facility for female inmates, where he had been allegedly exposing himself to women, when he was arrested again on June 1 after being in found in possession of firearms he had been forbidden from owning due to multiple prior convictions.

Benz has a lengthy criminal history spanning two decades. Yet despite his many convictions for robbery, assault, and the sexual abuse of a 6-year-old girl, Benz was released last year from women’s prison MCF Shakopee. He had been transferred into the facility in 2023 while serving a sentence in a men’s prison for the theft of a motor vehicle in 2018, a charge which carries a maximum ten-year sentence.

On February 27, 2023, Benz filed a civil rights complaint which ultimately resulted in his transfer into Minnesota’s only women’s prison. The complaint was lodged ahead of his legal name change to Danielle Marie Whitebird in June of that year, after his petition was approved by the state of Minnesota. In addition to the name change, Benz also was supplied with a “replacement birth record” which declared his sex as female, despite not having undergone any surgeries, according to his own legal complaints.

After his most release from Shakopee in September 2024, Benz was again arrested in June this year for threatening law enforcement upon their discovery that he was in possession of illegal firearms. As reported by Alpha News, an officer noticed his pickup truck exit from an area of storage units after midnight. The truck was missing its front license plate, causing the officer to become suspicious.

Law enforcement confronted Benz and discovered a power tool in his pocket, as well as bolt cutters and a pry bar inside the truck. Officers soon observed that three storage units had been broken into, and a search of the pickup truck uncovered a loaded handgun, a modified 12-gauge shotgun, and 20 rounds of ammunition. Officers ran a background check, noted Benz’s extensive criminal history, and saw that he had been prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition due to four prior violent felony convictions, including burglary with a dangerous weapon and criminal sexual predation.

Upon his arrest, Benz managed to slip out of his handcuffs and unbuckled his seatbelt. He then began threatening to kill the officers, shouting, “One of us is not coming out of this alive.” He lashed out violently, banging his head on the divider and kicking, and continued to scream and threatened to kill the officers’ families when he got out of jail. He was eventually subdued and charged with three counts of illegally possessing firearms or ammunition, threats of violence, possession of a short-barreled shotgun, possession of burglary tools, obstructing the legal process, and a gross misdemeanor count of carrying weapons without a permit.

The incident was reported in local media as having been committed by a woman.

In 2007, Benz was convicted of criminal sexual misconduct with a victim under the age of 13. According to court records obtained by Reduxx, St. Louis county police officers responded to a tip from the Eveleth Police Department in July regarding the sexual abuse of a minor.

Eveleth police had received a text message informing law enforcement that Benz had “played a game of touch the peanuts” with a 6 year-old girl. The informant, whose name has been redacted, said the girl had been acting oddly for two weeks. The child divulged to the individual that “Dan” had sexually molested her on multiple occasions.

Benz had been staying in the same residence as the victim after having been evicted from his apartment. During an interview with a social worker, the girl stated that Benz had been touching her genitals.

“One night when her mommies went to pick up her daddy, she was with Dan at her house,” reads the 2007 complaint. “They were sitting together watching a movie… [The girl] stated that Dan reached with his hand and went inside of the left leg of her pajama pants. He then put his hand inside her panties and touched her on top of her vagina.” The victim also described other similar instances of abuse.

Benz was handed the maximum 25-year sentence. However, his long history of criminal behavior indicates that he was released after serving just five years, in approximately 2012, when he was convicted of a misdemeanor for giving a police officer a false name – a charge that appears multiple times throughout his criminal record.

Benz was convicted of the theft of a motor vehicle in 2018, a charge which carries a maximum ten-year sentence. Police records filed after his arrest in 2017 state that Benz had “active warrants” out of Crow Wing County for “failure to register as a predatory offender” as well as a domestic assault report.

While incarcerated in a men’s facility, Benz began claiming to experience “gender dysphoria”. When filing a request for a change of name and legal sex in February 2023, Benz claimed to be a “transgender woman [whose] legal documents do not match my gender and gender identity.”

“It is painful, difficult, and uncomfortable for the party addressing me, when they inquire about the ‘male’ legal name, and my ‘male’ sex identifier are on my legal documents,” Benz wrote.

He continued: “I humbly request this court changes my ‘current legal name’ Daniel Patrick Benz to Danielle Marie Whitebird, and my current sex identification from ‘male’ to ‘female’, in order to match my gender and gender identity. This will alleviate my unnecessary suffering.”

Concurrently, Benz had also filed a human rights complaint requesting a transfer to the women’s prison MCF Shakopee on the basis of the Eighth Amendment’s clause against “cruel and unusual punishment.”

“Ms. Benz-Whitebird’s case satisfies both elements of the deliberate indifference test,” Benz wrote in his complaint, referring to himself in the third person. “She has presented extensive evidence that, despite hormone therapy, she continues to experience gender dysphoria so significant that she continues to have thoughts of self-castration and is at serious risk of acting on that impulse again.”

The Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC) violated Benz’s human rights, he claimed, by failing to transfer him to MCF Shakopee in a “timely manner,” and “failing to house Plaintiff in a female facility according to her gender identity which would ensure safety and reduce the risk of sexual victimization.”

During his brief period at Shakopee, Benz was said to have been exposing his penis to female inmates.

Benz’s placement in the women’s prison was confirmed both through court records and by an inmate who spoke to Reduxx via women’s prison advocate Rebeca Warmbo – herself once an inmate at the facility.

Warmbo provided documented exchanges from a woman who was a former victim of sex trafficking. In order to protect her identity, Reduxx used a pseudonym when reporting on the incident in 2024.

“[There was a] man who introduced me to drugs and then prostitution, which eventually led to the charges I am here for now,” said Cate, adding that while he was in MCF-Shakopee, Benz “showed me his penis… I was terrified.”

Cate went on to explain that though she had reported the incident to prison officials, “nothing was done” and “everyone turned their cheek.”

Cate stated that she believed action was not immediately taken on the basis that her report was seen as “homophobic” or bigoted.

“We just want to be protected here and not abused or taken advantage of. Most of us come from a background of abuse and we shouldn’t allow it here. We should be safe and protected, but they are allowing abusers in,” she added at the time.

Conviction records state that Benz was sentenced to spend a period of approximately 93 months in the women’s prison, though his anticipated release date is set for 2029, or less than half of that time.

Denial is Europe’s real emergency

GROK

There still seems to be a profound reluctance across Europe to accept and face the stern fact that Europe is in danger of what the official United States National Security Strategy, published in December 2025, describes as “civilisational erasure”, a word and concept that is chilling in its severity. The two policy areas that are generally highlighted when there are any serious attempts to get to grips with this subject are immigration and the consequences of the continent’s preoccupation with climate change.

It has proved very difficult to persuade European political leaders to understand that the large numbers of destitute fugitives from the Middle East and Africa which have surged into Europe cannot be considered immigrants. Even apart from their illegal presence, they are more like swarms of desperate people with no sense of nationality, no ambition to assimilate to the places where they fetch up, and are only focused on achieving a more prosperous life and conserving their own cultures and inflicting them on their new hosts. They are more like the masses advancing westwards in the fifth and sixth centuries AD into western Europe, fleeing ahead of the more savage barbarians, and with no thought of joining the Roman empire.

The numbers of illegal immigrants penetrating the European Union are now finally being brought under control, but the task of cultivating among them any serious sense of attachment to their new nationalities has proved extraordinarily difficult. Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, recorded almost 178,000 irregular crossings of the EU’s external borders in 2025, a fall of 26 per cent on the previous year and the lowest annual total since 2021. At least the barbarians brought with them such primitive religions that they quickly adopted Christianity, which greatly assisted their close association with the inhabitants, gradually evolving into the great nations of Europe. The present waves of migrants are largely Muslim, fiercely sectarian, and show a much greater propensity to fester and multiply in a segregated and often antagonistic state than to assimilate to their host societies.

The consequences of Europe’s pitiful capitulation to the extreme arguments of global warming alarmists have been crippling to economic growth and have made the continent doubly vulnerable to unexpected migration and demoralised the whole continent with the heavy yoke of economic stagnation.

For over 50 years, Europe has steadily lagged the United States economically. In 1980, the nine countries of the European Economic Community had 27 per cent of the world’s gross domestic product (GDP) to 25 per cent for the United States. Today, the same nine countries plus East Germany have 15.5 per cent while the United States is at 26 per cent. The principal new element is of course China, but it too has now ceased to gain ground on the United States, which continues to surge ahead and remains 70 per cent larger economically than the expanded European Union of 27 countries and the People’s Republic of China, even after China’s 40 years of the greatest surge of economic growth of any under-developed economy in history. All the fine optimism, tainted though it was by the somewhat decadent arrogance of Europe contemplating the rest of the world, with which the great European project was launched, has given way to self-conscious introspection.

It was primarily in Europe that the defeated international Left at the end of the Cold War, in an unforeseeable act of improvisation, clambered aboard the conservation bandwagon, seized control of it, and turned it from a benign but eccentric coalition against spoliation of the environment into a battering ram against capitalism in the name of saving the planet. As a result of this madness of Quixotry, industry was stifled, gas and electricity production restricted, and the madness of renewable energy was coercively embraced. The result is that natural gas in Europe is three to five times more expensive than in the United States and electricity is two to three times higher than in the US, according to the competitiveness report drawn up in 2024 by former European Central Bank president Mario Draghi. International investment in Europe has declined and nine of the world’s top 10 high-tech companies are American and the other is Taiwanese. Government tax revenue in the EU is about 40 per cent of total GDP, compared to 25 per cent in the United States.

Although heat waves killed more than 70,000 people in Europe in 2003, air conditioning was still discouraged as too consumptive of energy; and similarly heavy heat waves this summer killed more than 30,000 Europeans, according to provisional national tallies collated by AFP. Birth rates have collapsed, the Muslims are proliferating, and at this time of the greatest challenge to European civilisation since the Second World War, those political parties and movements that defend that civilisation are despised by the elites, half asphyxiated by the lethal intoxicant of confected white guilt.

Central and western Europe are in no danger of being overrun, and it is ultimately inconceivable that they can collapse entirely from within. Miracles of renaissance have occurred from time to time throughout European history. Another one is necessary and very possible. It is an act of faith to believe in it, and only decisive leadership of the kind Europe has not seen since the time of Thatcher and Kohl will produce it. But those countries, led by Poland and Hungary where communist rule is unpleasantly retained in living memory, are comparatively purposeful. Italy seems to lead the way in elevating a former distaste for political parties originating on the Right to effective government. In Germany and France, formerly unhouse-trained parties of the right are now leading the polls and the outcasts of yesteryear may be soon called upon to save the old continent’s most influential nationalities.
