And, with that, it appears the Merkel-led Brussels EU, as well as last-generation
neo-cons and
Obamacrats in the United States, are going to be left out in the cold. Nothing in recent memory could have prepared us for this. So, how did it happen? Let us take a brief look back and analyze the signposts we passed along the way towards this potentially historic moment.
- the anti-Russia demonstrations in the Ukraine, supported by the U.S. and the EU, were supposed to spark the sort of "color revolution" that would pull Ukraine to the West; instead, Putin-led Russia maneuvered to help Russian separatists in the Ukraine make their move and walked away annexing Crimea and taking stake in the Donbass - all the while keeping itself alive as Ukraine's gas supplier (Gazprom), sowing doubt that the Ukrainian cub could be shaken from the Russian bear without a major global disturbance. The mainstream media attempted to paint Russia as an enemy, but the caricature came from nowhere and, unlike the image of rogue America in Iraq, Libya and Syria, required acceptance of a new narrative, which meant forgetting that America had been a rogue in Iraq, Libya and Syria.

- when Russia took the side of Syria's Assad government, the Western media again tried to create a bogeyman out of Russia. But the rebels they wanted us to side failed to grab the moral ground because their hands were bloodied by mass atrocities in Syria. Furthermore, Assad was fighting ISIS, which had sponsored terrorism in Europe and grown to conquer vast swaths of land and commit brutal acts on civilians in these territories, which horrified Westerners. Accordingly, the opportunity for a coherent "good vs. bad" narrative went out the window - especially as it became clear that ISIS was drilling oil in its conquered territory, selling that oil cheaply to Turkey and used its funding to support terrorist attacks in Europe while waging war on Assad, all with the goal of creating one massive Caliphate. Meanwhile, millions of refugees are fleeing into Turkey and heading to the EU, which has been calling for cheap labor anyway, while Brussels is paying Turkey to handle the refugee crisis and keep it under control. No matter how you spin that, the EU is funding a country that is funding ISIS, and ISIS is targeting non-Muslims in Europe for destruction and causing billions of dollars in infrastructural damage to the EU, while the EU gets millions of dirt-poor migrants to house and attempt to integrate, which is causing all sorts of problems, all loosening and blurring the borders between the EU and Eurabia, making ISIS' goals increasingly easier. This crazy love triangle is about as glamorous as the other one which involved imported labor and commodity trade, called the triangular slave trade:

If you a part of a triangular trade involving ISIS, dirty money and human cargo,
you might have a hard time with your "good war" sales pitch. |

In the EU, semi-coherent anti-Islamification, anti-terrorism,
anti-Brussels countermovements appeared, such as Pegida. The EU treated the countermovement like terrorists, enforced draconian freedom of speech restrictions against it and tried to paint an image of the situation that, after every controversy, terror attack or eminent domain action to help the refugees at the expense of the EU's native population, infuriates the people.
 |
"We must accept a high, young immigrant crime rate" -
Not the best speech if the terrorists are among the migrants. |
- Meanwhile, the Pegida movement has gained sympathizers through its portrayal of the US and EU, including the US/EU's beating of the war drum in regards to Russia. And so, the EU's never-ending reminders about terrible expansionist wars and war-baiting, said to be the pinnacle of what Hitler Germany was about, have backfired, because nobody wants to be a part of an expansionist war or see all the anti-Russia war-baiting. You would never know:

| Ok? |

| Wait, what? |

So if nothing is wrong, why this bold-faced, fear-mongering news? |
The aforementioned, and the EU's own abysmal economic and security failures, triggered Brexit. Likewise, the American public grew tired of empty promises, globalist outsourcing, corruption in Washington and Cold War 2.0 propaganda, and the outcome is a Trump presidency.
Having called
Brussels' policy with the refugees "insane", connected with Brexit's frontman Nigel Farage and made
no suggestion that Russia is a concern, Trump has already put America on a completely new course. Russia, meanwhile, is building solidarity with the anti-Islamification, anti-terrorism, anti-Brussels countermovement in Europe. In the latest news, Russia has declared an alliance with the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), a fully-coherant, anti-Brussels and anti-Islamification party:
from Austria’s Far Right Signs a Cooperation Pact With Putin’s Party," by Alison Smale, New York Times
The leader of the far-right FPÖ has signed what he
called a cooperation agreement with Russia’s ruling party and recently
met with Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, the designated national security
adviser to President-elect Donald J. Trump of the United States.
Word of the agreement with Russia was the latest sign that the Kremlin is
forging bonds with political parties across Europe in what some European
leaders suspect is a coordinated attempt to meddle in their affairs and
potentially weaken Western democracies. Many of these efforts are murky
and involve obscure groups, and it is unclear whether President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia has any direct involvement.
The
Freedom Party leader, Heinz-Christian Strache, reported the signing of the agreement with United Russia, Mr. Putin’s party, on Monday on his Facebook page, where he also disclosed that he had visited General Flynn a few weeks ago in Trump Tower in New York.
“Internationally, the Freedom Party continues to gain in influence,” wrote Mr. Strache, a dental technician who has led the party since 2005. The Trump transition team did not respond to request for comment on the meeting (more)

Blocks of power are shifting. Perhaps the biggest question is not what will happen to ISIS or the EU, but the future of Turkey, a hotbed of deadly terrorism (the Kurdish PKK, which may have had connections to the Kurdish rebel groups in Syria) that is on hot coals after shooting down a Russian jet and the more recent assassination of a Russian diplomat. The new Europe that is emerging from the "far-right" sees Turkey and its population as emblematic of looming Islamification. 2017 could be a very interesting year in geo-political development.
