I think it all just comes down to the fact that populist movements are seen as threat to the political class of Europe because they are concerned primarily with a proper historical understanding of what the nation is and what the state is for, which is the preservation of the nation and the defense of its people and heritage.

Europe's elites hate that, because their political project is explicitly post-national. They want to destroy the nation as such and replace it with supra national institutions governed by a global elite

RG europeans ain't having it. french farmers spraying any govt building in sight with manure

Ryan Gardner's avatar

I hope the common folk continue to rise up.

If not, the "subject" (them) becomes the principle of their own subjection....like in the U.S.S.R.

Silent scorn's avatar

When the Muslims take over France and England, etc., it’s going to be interesting to watch the elite try to control commoners who don’t care about their snooty bloodlines and national history, or any other western norms and values.

Ryan Gardner's avatar

Yes. Exactly. Im thinking its already at the point of no return in the UK.

Just look at the Somalis in the US.

Somalis don’t think it’s fraud. They’re Muslims, which means Sharia Law, which means taking from the infidel is an allowable tax for rejecting Allah. The problem is Islam. They take no prisoners.

First, they rob you, then they chop off your head. It’s all allowed according to their “holy book,” which was plagiarized

Navyo Ericsen's avatar

And whaddya know, your comment was blocked in the UK. They are trying their damndest here to prevent reality being shared online and in person while they impose their fake horror show on everyone. If Davos doesn't wake people up to the blatant hypocrisy of these wankers I don't know what will. There's a storm coming here as we've had enough.

ZuZu’s Petals's avatar

Navyo, I’m in the UK too but can read every comment. Have you tried a different browser?

Silent scorn's avatar

Exactly! If it acts like a pirate, dresses like a pirate, you know the rest!

ShirtlessCaptainKirk's avatar

But they’re showing signs of assimilating. I saw one clip of an uncharacteristically-plump Somali schoolgirl saying they had every right to be here and assert their culture because the US is just “stolen land.” If that doesn’t sound American, I don’t know what does.

Doggie Dad's avatar

She's practically what passes for an historian.

Fred Richmond's avatar

Exactly correct. Even more than the Taxman, the Muslims have long believed what's mine is mine, and what's yours in mine, too. No appeal of the levy for the infidel.

Korpijarvi's avatar

> Somalis don’t think it’s fraud.

One suspects that, religious typologizing aside, "thinking" it's "fraud" would require rather more than a mean population IQ of 68.

Catch-22's avatar

The percentage of muslims is higher in the US than it is in the UK

Ryan Gardner's avatar

The difference is most of ours are not directly from shithole countries.

Most are Americans and have assimilated. Most are not fundamentalists that would chop your head off just for practicing a different religion.

But, Islam is still a problem.

Korpijarvi's avatar

Mmmmmyeah...but I see another dimension, Ryan.

The entire globo central banking system revolves around control of the issuance of money.

It's not about identity, it's about controlling the literal life blood of any society: its currency, its medium/media of exchange.

I posted a link to some of Prof. Richard Werner's short vids from just a few years after Le Crash of '08. You might find them interesting. This is what generation after generation of schoolkids are not taught, so can be fed into the maw of the bankster beast...while their elders blame wammenz and incels and dindus and hindus and CO2 and "covid" and vapes and Ariana Grande and guns and Tide Pods and everything and everybody else for What, in fact, Fractional Reserve Banking Hath Wrought.

My motto remains: GIVE ME TALLY STICKS OR GIVE ME DEATH

I would also accept a puffin-based currency scheme, except that they are already MINE (I have a document to prove it).

Kelly's avatar

Yes, the commoners need to know their place.

hoppah's avatar

In other words, they want to return to the feudal state run by neo-aristocrats that was rudely interrupted by all these nasty peasants so many years ago.

Rikard's avatar

That is at least half of it.

The other half is, paradoxically enough, that they on some level understand that the project is a fiasco and a disaster and that it is causing them to lose power.

Even if it succeeds, they lose power.

What they are trying to do is push it through, and stop it at the same time.

Like driving with both the brake and the gas pushed through the floor.

Navyo Ericsen's avatar

I like the idea, kind of like playing death metal at 200db inside a small locked room while you stand on the outside wondering why.

Jerri Hinojosa's avatar

They believe they’ll follow the slipstream right into the global elite, and no one will be the wiser that they bankrupted their own countries.

Fuck, that's a good comment, brother.

Carney in his black suit looks like the undertaker trying to upsell you in the casket showroom.

Chris Bray's avatar

What an excellent comparison.

Ataraxis's avatar

Thanks, I used to make my redneck neighbors here in NC laugh by calling Roy Cooper “Governor Undertaker.”

These non-experts masquerading as experts MUST be ridiculed. Plus it’s really easy to do.

Did you know that Carney never really spent much time living in Canada since he graduated from high school? He’s just a globalist mannequin.

LauraJ's avatar

But, oh how the Elbowzos love him!

Canada is cooked.

We truly are, unless Alberta separates, and fast.

mileytheduchess's avatar

That "elbows up" thing is puzzling to me. Wouldn't they look like chickens?

Ridicule is what they're so desperately trying to censor.

fiendish_librarian's avatar

Do a deep dive on his wife. *Lots* of overlap with Ghislaine Maxwell that the Canadian media did its best to ignore.

Occam's avatar

He's been a globalist bagman for years.

A leopard doesn't change its spots.

But the mannequin gives a speech, and he's now Churchill ffs.

Joanie Higgs's avatar

Yup, you've got that exactly right.

Joanie Higgs's avatar

As a Canadian, I can only hope that Alberta hurries up and breaks away, bringing BC, Saskatchewan and Manitoba with them. How we DETEST that miserable little man (and his cringe PM predecessor) and want there to be nothing left for them to "govern".

Valoree Dowell's avatar

I was obsessed with his shitty tie and worse knot. Maybe it was because the guy who intro'd him had on a handmade silk tie, perfectly knotted. Those observations tell you exactly how riveting were their words.

Korpijarvi's avatar

I refrained from observing that, fearing you might think I'd caught the gay or something...but this is an absolutely essential thing to notice in my book.

My guess was that he was advised to put something kevlar-ian under the shirt, because its fit is all wrong, and the tie didn't get re-knotted properly. Or maybe it's just get another case of grownups no longer knowing how to dress, and the overall lack of tailors, and the crappification of the textile industry (thanks, India).

I mean, I'm happy to live in the rainforest where all that's required is I preen my feathers as needed for meteorological reasons and occasionally order from LL Bean...but if you're going to play on the world stage, good gravy, people, dress the part!

Valoree Dowell's avatar

Well put and “preening my feathers” brought a well-needed smile. Thx

Ataraxis's avatar

Correct, his shirt isn’t properly fitted if the collar looks like that. No excuse for that.

hoppah's avatar

Those lopsided abominations are no substitute for the full Windsor.

fiendish_librarian's avatar

I thought the same. He's a very strange, spindly, Mr. Burns-type of humanoid and with his money you'd think he would have access to the finest of tailors. There's a Men's Warehouse type chain in Canada called Tip Top that actually has better looking suits than what he's wearing.

The CCP have been playing the long game in Canada ever since Trudeau’s daddy went over and gushed over Mao’s great death leap. I mean what’s a few million deaths between friends?

Jen Koenig's avatar

From my understanding from having lived in Seattle 15 years ago they basically own most of British Columbia.

PhDBiologistMom's avatar

I thought the First Nations owned all of British Columbia and then some (it’s my understanding that the land claims of the various tribes add up to more than 100% of the area of the province).

That's only just begining, with much more merriment yet to come. No more modest, feel-bad fake graves distractions, but real court cases with massive economic disruption.

Pretty much all of Vancouver for sure. However Chyna's real estate bubble deflation has affected that significantly. Last I read (maybe early last year) Hongcouver Zillow (etc) is packed with megamillion-dollar condos desperately seeking buyers.

Ryan Gardner's avatar

Mockery and humor combined are a force multiplier. Its exactly why memes work.

Occam's avatar

It's unbelievable how Canadians are lauding Carney's speech. Horrifying, actually.

The guy (like the guy before him) has accomplished exactly fuck all to benefit Canadians and he's being praised for GIVING A SPEECH. The fucking boomer/liberal rot here has people interested more in giving Trump the middle finger (or elbows) than improving the country. The absolute silliness of provoking the US (75% of Canadian exports) over wounded feelings beggars belief.

Seriously, name a single thing Trudeau or Carney has accomplished that has helped the Canadian people (and legalizing pot is not a benefit).

Annie J's avatar

My favorite line (about my greasy governor): "Repellent greaseball Gavin Newsom was also in Davos to preen and publicly masturbate to his own empty symbols." Truer words were never spoken!

I also truly enjoyed Scott Bessent's description of NewScum as well.

Dena's avatar

Also from Bessent: “ Newsom is the only other Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala” or something like that. He was on fire.

Brian DeLeon's avatar

I love Newscum trying to get on the good side of world leaders by insulting them. What a dick.

Brian DeLeon's avatar

And by the way, what the hell is Newscum doing in Davos anyway? Hanging out with the likes of Carney and Macron? As if he matters.

Valoree Dowell's avatar

Question of the day. And add to that, why is Davos even aired, or covered? I mean, I know why, but seriously, it's as important and valuable as the Miss Universe pageant. (probably dated myself there. are pageants even a thing anymore?)

Alan's avatar

Newsom is a tool of Davos. Under Newsom, California has destroyed its oil refining industry, so that now over 40% of jet fuel the U.S. needs is outsourced to foreign countries. This is a direct national security threat to our military capabilities.

Newsom in California, Kotek in Oregon, Ferguson in Washington, Pritzker in Illinois, Whitmer in Michigan, Walz in Minnesota and Hochul in New York (and the other New England states) are insurrectionists and will spread the civil war Walz has already started.

Annie J's avatar

Yes, those blue state fucktard governors need to GO. They are a threat to our country.

I just posted on maritime and Chyna, just above, and underscoring your point before I even saw it (or you underscoring mine).

Korpijarvi's avatar

Interestingly, I thought that Denny Heck would be advanced after Jay Inslee. He's way caught up in that gang of Sinophilic Whitman College alumni who comprise the Pugetopolis shadow government (though iirc he's an Evergreen State grad).

I predict he'll be run for Gov when people get tired of Ferguson. Or something.

Those power brokers include the ones here:

40th Anniversary Celebration of the Arrival of Liu Lin Hai Ship in Seattle Held on April 18, 2019

By Foster Garvey on 3.22.19

Since Garvey Schubert Barer’s founding in 1966, China has been a major focus of the firm’s practice. In 1979, Stan Barer and other GSB attorneys developed the legal strategy that led to the resumption of shipping between the U.S. and China after a thirty-year hiatus. The first Chinese ship to arrive in the United States sailed into the Port of Seattle, and the first American-flagged ship to sail to China was owned by a GSB client.

This strong alliance, forged and fostered by GSB, has led to Seattle’s importance in trade relations with China. China is Washington State’s major trade partner: in 2017, Washington State exported $18 billion in goods to China. The University of Washington and Tsinghua University have established a joint cross-disciplinary technological institute. President Xi Jinping visited only two locations in the United States: Seattle and Washington, D.C.

GSB became the first U.S. law firm to represent a Chinese state-owned enterprise doing business in the United States when it was engaged to assist China Ocean Shipping (Group) Company (“COSCO”), which it represents to this day. In 2004, the firm opened a Beijing office to better serve U.S.-China trade. GSB has a continued tradition of providing cutting edge legal services on issues affecting commerce between the U.S. and China.

To honor this relationship, GSB is co-hosting a celebratory event with the Washington State China Relations Council, the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma, and the Northwest Seaport Alliance, commemorating the 40-year anniversary of the resumption of trade between the U.S. and China, and celebrating Stan Barer for his role in the process.

According to the LA TIMES, he intended to speak at the forum but "White House blocked him."

"After being disinvited (sic) from a fireside chat with Fortune magazine, Newsom’s office was offered a casual ‘VIP nightcap’ instead."

LoL!

Susan's avatar

Enjoy your liquor, Gavin!

Annie J's avatar

I'm sure he'll enjoy the booze more. He's a real drinker!

hoppah's avatar

"VIP nightcap" is Davos-speak for the sex trafficking.

Annie J's avatar

Yeah, he is the consummate grifter and attention whore. He is never here in CA doing is damned job!

Pat Robinson's avatar

Isn’t that a plus?

hoppah's avatar

He wants to be President, and someone told him this was the place to be for folks angling for the job. He no doubt ran around assuring everyone that when he's sworn in he's gonna undo all that nasty Trump stuff.

MaryFrances Miller's avatar

I heard he (Newsom) chummied up with Alex Soros?! That's why he was there. Get more info on how to make CA be the great Venezuela, or Cuba!?

Dena's avatar

He can’t help it. Dickness has been his lifelong affliction. He palled around Davos with fellow girly girl dick Alex Soros. When I saw the pic of the two of them with their arms wrapped around each other all I could think of is the girls are back in town.

Annie J's avatar

Yeah, Gavin is a wanna-be who slobbers all over Soros. Such a POS.

Brian DeLeon's avatar

You guys are brutal! I love it!

Annie J's avatar

Honestly, after living under this guy's rein for the last 8 years, I have zero filter anymore. He's horrid.

SSBN734's avatar

Gavin and Alex probably swapped the strap-on back and forth all evening.

Korpijarvi's avatar

You must admit, however, that the concept of Gavin Newsom masturbating--which never ever EVVAR would have crossed my corvidly brain--is going to require psychic cleansing on all our parts.

I can help.

Revenge of the Dullards's avatar

In speechwriting we used to treat aphorism and platitude as seasoning, not the meat and potatoes. Mr Carney gives us a 15-minute masterclass in what happens when you ignore these guidelines: you end up being all noise and no signal...

Alan's avatar

And Carney gets a standing ovation precisely because that is how the "elite" speak to each other.

Revenge of the Dullards's avatar

Yes, the Harris presidential campaign went for full 'noise' and it failed, and now the WEF has a keynote speaker (a Prime Minister) who sounds like someone jammed the TV set between channels.

The people in Canada are going NUTS for this speech.

The guy and he predecessor have done exactly fuck all for Canadians, but a speech somehow matters.

I always look for what the news is not covering, or, in other words, the dog that’s not barking. That’s where the real news is, of course.

Here’s a dog that’s not barking. I think that there are ten billionaires working for Trump and us. If you had a billion dollars, would you take a government job running a dysfunctional department?

OK, so let’s say you view it as your civic duty. But if Trump is a tyrant and crazy and a bully, and you’re a billionaire, would you still take the job?

Here’s why the media can’t bring up the billionaires in government. The billionaires like Trump. They like working for him. They know that Trump is really intelligent, has good character, and is a meticulous planner. So if the media brings up all the billionaires, they would have to admit that Trump is really not the guy they shriek about in the mean tweets, that it’s just a persona. They would be forced to admit that Trump behind the scenes is a master strategist and one of the smartest presidents ever.

> Ataraxis's First Law of Negative Space

This guy gets it.

Honestly, I don't know what we did to deserve the man...but between his roles as litmus, lightning rod, national dad, and Overweening-Flatuloid Sudden Deflation Hatpin, I've never had so much fun, nor given more thanks, than watching the guy even through the imperfect lenses (and negative spaces) of the media.

People are so used to the dumbing down of mass culture and society in general they don't know how to regard smart people overall, never mind someone that far out ahead of the pack.

Did you ever run across Steve Bannon's 2019 Frontline interview, where he relates among other things his first meeting with DJT? He recollects going in to that because someone asked him to...then being awestruck by DJT's command of Pacific maritime strategy matters, from the big picture to the specific details.

It's sad to reflect on what many people are missing, in piling on him as directed by the mindhackers....

Ataraxis's avatar

We now have 10 years of watching him and I’m amazed that people still don’t get what Trump is doing. I knew nothing about Trump when he first ran for President, but after to listening to the great Scott Adams talk about Trump’s persuasion skills in August 2015, I instantly understood what he was doing.

As you say, now it’s just watching the fun unfold, everyday and all day, and most importantly, giving thanks for the gift of Trump.

Susan Daniels's avatar

Absolutely. You are correct on every point.

Adam Pruzan's avatar

This is a bit of an oversimplification, but I'm more and more convinced it is basically true: the global elite, perhaps in part subconsciously, want a world empire: they know that China will run such an empire, and they're OK with that, because they believe that they will become, in essence, the provincial governors of that empire, each in his own country. As such, they will have even more political and economic power than they currently enjoy, without the bother of running for office, or suffering the freedom of their erstwhile citizens, who will now be merely subjects. This is what freedom-loving Americans must fight at all costs.

Valoree Dowell's avatar

If they think they'll "become provincial governors in that empire" they haven't been paying attention. Should China get the reins, the nincompoops like Carney will be, shall we say, put out to pasture. And they won't be gentle.

Korpijarvi's avatar

Val, also Adam, I posted a link elsewhere to Prof. Richard Werner's short vids, a good many years ago now, on the nature and reach of the global central banking system. I'll put it here, too.

If Davos was actually the Clown Show it appears to be, that would be fine. Unfortunately, though, it has proven to be an incubator of some of the worst policy actions in world history since its inception. Windmills instead of real powerplants, open borders, experimental gene therapies promoted as safe and effective vaccines, sex change operations, computer chip brain enhancement, safe speech codes, lowering world population, genetically engineered food designed to make populations more pliable, genetically altered humans made to be "worker bees"... Just a few ghastly innovations birthed, promoted, planned or otherwise foisted on the world from this snakepit. I mean "Klaus Schwab". Life imitating art or what?
