Europe is losing its old values; the ancient Greeks would turn in their graves if they saw how “democracy” is practiced by the current incompetent leaders of the EU and its member states. The EU is staging coups d’état in the style of the “color revolutions” it learned from its mentor, the United States, as seen in Romania, for example. Similar attempts have also been made in Serbia, Hungary, Slovenia, and, most recently, Moldova.

What the elites once called “democracy” has been entirely eroded; nothing of it remains today. Democracy literally means demos (people) and krateo (to rule)—translated, it is “the rule of the people.” Today, we are witnessing the loss of this very value, which the elites now exploit to justify their fascist actions.

I would compare this to the term “antisemitic,” a word Israel uses against its enemies, particularly the Arabs, or rather the Palestinians. Yet, all peoples in the Middle East are Semitic, including the Israelis themselves. Therefore, to insult their “brother peoples,” the Arabs, by labeling them “antisemitic” is completely devoid of context.

Returning to the European Union: the false flags, accusations, and ill-conceived plans are arriving in rapid succession. Many of these initiatives were, for all intents and purposes, already in motion. Consider, for instance, the absurd proposal to construct a “drone wall” against Russian threats. However, since 2022, new walls have already been under construction in the Baltic states, Finland, and Poland. The physical barriers are already in place, and the establishment of a complementary drone defense system is likely well advanced. According to the EU and NATO—and as stated by Ursula von der Leyen—it is projected to be completed by 2026.

In recent weeks, we have witnessed a series of false flag attacks in the European Union, with nearly every country bordering Russia or Belarus reporting a drone attack allegedly originating from one of these nations. Officials have been hesitant to assign full blame to Russia, leading to statements in various state-run media outlets that read: “Probably Russian drones, but we are not entirely sure.” EU leaders have already activated NATO’s Article 4, and following another false flag attack, NATO’s Article 5 will likely be invoked as well. This is because the EU is NATO, and NATO is the EU. With the election of former Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte as Secretary General of NATO, any remaining distinction has vanished, and the two organizations have effectively become one.

At the same time, a new EU initiative has been adopted: the “European Democratic Shield.” According to the European Union—and let there be no illusions—Hungary and Slovakia were also forced to agree to this “shield.” As members of the EU, leaving would mean forfeiting financial support—a form of blackmail, although it remains questionable whether they will actually implement the initiative. According to the EU, this democratic shield is necessary because, as they claim with lofty rhetoric on their website: “The ’European Democratic Shield’ initiative aims to strengthen information integrity in Europe by tackling problems such as disinformation and election interference.” The statement continues with many more empty words and phrases, as you can read here.

EU politicians further argue that democracy today faces serious threats from the strengthening of authoritarian regimes like Russia and China, as well as the rise of populist politics in established democracies, such as the German AfD and other right-wing parties. But this is where the situation becomes dangerous, and the EU finds itself on a slippery slope, itself tending toward fascism or totalitarianism: “The European Democracy Shield is expected to focus on four key areas: combating disinformation, strengthening information integrity in election campaigns, increasing societal resilience, and boosting citizen engagement.”

We can conclude from this new initiative that freedom of the press—and especially freedom of speech—will be effectively abolished. Criticism is “not welcome.” It is a Hitlerian decision. Hitler and his fascist Nazi Party had no interest in genuine democracy, despite masquerading as a National Socialist Democratic Party. We now see the modern embodiment of fascism—I will use this state as an example once more—in Israel, where a fascist government unhesitatingly murders its opponents, the Palestinians, and has silenced its own populace. American-Jewish fascist settlers with extreme political views have taken over Israel and are terrorizing the entire region with a deadly ideology based on religious extremism—a shining example for Al-Qaeda.

Europe also largely supports this government in Israel. Under pressure from their own populations—mostly the youth and asylum seekers—European leaders pretend to disapprove, but arms deliveries continue unabated. This, in itself, is an act of fascism.

Europe is in chaos and has entered a downward spiral. As I noted and wrote in 2015, the influx of so many refugees would lead to the “downfall of Europe.” It is extremely sad to see this prediction coming true a decade later. Angela Merkel, the former German Chancellor, partly ruined her country by unconditionally opening its “gates and doors” in a misguided fight against population decline. There were always other ways to address this demographic challenge, but Germany chose to admit radicalized war victims and perpetrators, many of whom suffered from PTSD. We are now witnessing the consequences. Furthermore, refugee aid has become a business model, as seen in the Netherlands, where if a “quota” is exceeded, individuals are simply relocated elsewhere within the country.

The European population is also being deliberately pitted against itself—polarized, as you say—and is currently held captive by far-right and far-left extremism. The same dynamic applies to the United States, where, for example, Antifa is banned. A similar ban on Antifa is now being advocated by European politicians. These politicians seek to ban groups while pretending to be democratic, yet they simultaneously negotiate with governments composed of former terrorists, such as Al-Qaeda leader Ahmad al-Sharaa (also known as Al-Julani) in Syria.

European politicians are fundamentally inconsistent; they simply choose the group that best suits their needs at any given moment. Some politicians label this “realpolitik.” However, in reality, realpolitik—a German concept later implemented in the US by strategists like Zbigniew Brzezinski—is nothing more than the abandonment of one’s ideals, humanism, and, in Europe’s case, its democracy.

The United States is a prime example of realpolitik, a strategy it learned from the British. During the era of the British Empire, groups within occupied territories were systematically pitted against one another: Islam against Christianity, the left against the right, humanism against fascism.

What is the solution for a better Europe? In my opinion, Europe must return to its original values, preserved in spirit but adapted with a modern perspective. We need genuine democracy, such as direct voting via referendum on all manner of issues. The refugee dilemma must be resolved, and democratic values and ideals—especially humanism and diplomacy—must be restored to their central place. This is a utopian vision, given the current state of affairs in Europe.

Naturally, this means there is no easy solution. While a solution exists in theory, there are too many obstacles within the European Union and its member countries themselves; in fact, there is currently no viable path forward. The only solution—and this may sound radical—is the downfall of the current elites governing European nations and the dismantling of the European Union itself.

The old political parties must be dethroned, and ultra-right and ultra-left politics must be banished. A new system and a new renaissance must be implemented. It remains a utopia for now, but we must not give up hope for the old continent. Europe must simply reinvent itself.

“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Trade Union list.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

Martin Niemöller, a German Lutheran Pastor, 1946
