About a mile away from the Georgia Parliament building in Tbilisi, rests a simple sculpture of a large circle on a pedestal.  Someone recently spray painted the graffiti message: “Your Empire Ends Here!”  I can well imagine the Wolverine who put the message there.

It is a simple message aimed toward the European Parliament in Brussels, from the majority of the Georgian people represented by Georgian Dream, the party of nationalist pride who refuse to become the next Ukraine.

Between that sculpture and the Parliament building there is an upscale shopping district filled with high-end stores.  However, the shop fronts are now covered in graffiti (“ACAB” and other international Antifa messages), many store windows are broken, and the visible scars of violent street protests are mixed in with festive Christmas decorations.

On the streets of Tbilisi protests take place almost every day, some pro-EU and some Pro-Georgia Dream.  The ordinary citizens of the city and region are, well, quite frankly, sick of it.  The CIA, USAID and EU groups tried and failed to install their puppet candidates and manipulate the people of Georgia into joining the EU.  Brussels now hates Tbilisi.  The street battle over influence continues.

Within greater Europe this conflict represented within Georgia, specifically Tbilisi, is the context for reactive globalists and their World Economic Forum politicians to another election outcome of similar scope, this time in Romania.   However, where Brussels had to let Georgia slip away, they are not going to allow Romania to escape their clutches.  {GO DEEP}

The NATO war in Ukraine is essentially lost. Russia holds the strongest position against Kyiv and its supporters. President Donald Trump is set to take office in the USA raising new questions over Europeans’ trade relations, elimination of the Marshal Plan, and EU spending on their own common defense. Then add the slow-motion collapse of Trudeau’s Canadian government, and consider…

…Hungary has rebuked the Brussels control agenda. Georgia has rejected NATO and the EU’s manipulation. The government of France, essentially Germany’s most powerful partner leading the European Union, collapsed on a few short weeks ago. And now Germany, Europe’s largest economy, will be in the hands of a caretaker government until they can organize elections early next year.

When the control mechanisms of the totalitarian left fail, we see the machinery tremoring slowly, slowly, until suddenly, all at once it freezes.

GERMANY – The German government collapsed on Monday as Chancellor Olaf Scholz lost a confidence vote in Parliament, deepening a crisis of leadership across Europe at a time of mounting economic and security challenges.

[…] On Monday, German lawmakers voted to dissolve the existing government by a vote of 394 to 207, with 116 abstaining.

Coming just nine months before parliamentary elections had been scheduled to happen, the vote was an extraordinary moment for Germany. The elections, now expected on Feb. 23, will be only the fourth snap election in the 75 years since the modern state was founded. The moment reflects a new era of more fractious and unstable politics in a country long known for durable coalitions built on plodding consensus.

Mr. Scholz had little choice but to take the unusual step of calling for the confidence vote after his three-party coalition splintered in November, ending months of bitter internal squabbling and leaving him without a parliamentary majority to pass laws or a budget.

The “No Labels” group is the modern spin on the term “UniParty.”  These are the professionally political minds that see everything good about a singular ideological perspective in Washington DC that grows the administrative state and lives in a stratum far above the sheeple voters.

Perhaps the most transparently obvious part of Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski holding this mindset, is the moment at 4:26 when she talks about being responsible to the voters, “what’s this all about,” Murkowski notes with contempt.

“I think we are getting a little bit of a preview now, of what it means to be allegiant to party,” Murkowski continues.  Where “allegiant to party” actually means accountable to the voters’ expectations.

How is this supposed to help the institutional operation of Washington DC, if the politicians are suddenly accountable to the voters, instead of the bureaucracy that provides the political influence and affluence. Murkowski is genuinely puzzled by this new era of political expectation represented by President Donald Trump. WATCH (prompted):

.

What Murkowski fails to understand is that President Trump is not a cause of her republican party failure, President Trump is our response to her republican party failure.  President Trump represents our weapon, her last chance, her choice.

“Get in line” accurately interpreted means do what needs to be done to support the vessel, President Trump, that we have overwhelmingly elected to address our issues.  No apologies, get in line -get right- is exactly correct.

The Office of the Inspector General for the DOJ (DOJ-OIG) has outlined an 88-page report on events around the January 6th, 2021, DC protest. The report is AVAILABLE HERE.

FBI Director Chris Wray announced his decision to resign from office one day before the Inspector General report was released. The report shows that 26 FBI Confidential Human Sources (CHSs) were used officially and unofficially during the J6 events. Four entered the Capitol building, another 13 entered the restricted area around the building.

[OIG REPORT HERE]

The report found that no official FBI employees participated in the events, but 26 confidential human sources were used.  The media are jumping on the part about no FBI employees being present in order to call those who view the FBI as facilitating and coordinating the events of J6 as “conspiracy theorists.”  However, the FBI’s use of CHSs is downplayed and dismissed.

A major topline takeaway from the report in general is how much effort the FBI put into investigating the assembly pre J6.   When you read the IG explanation of the CHSs [Page 50 and beyond] you get a really good feel for how the FBI was focused and positioned before the day unfolded.

This is stunning, yet in a way not unexpected all things considered.

We previously outlined how Make Romania Great Again candidate Călin Georgescu came out of nowhere and won the first round in the presidential election. {GO DEEP}

The U.S. and EU heads went bananas at the surprise upset.

Georgescu is a nationalist, and his ideological outlook is the exact opposite of what the EU/U.S want to see. As a consequence, appeals were made to Brussels to intervene and simultaneously inside Romania the election results were reviewed by the court.

Last Monday the Romanian courts validated the first-round results, affirming their legitimacy.  However, on Friday with information provided by CIA and various intelligence services, just two days before the second round of voting, the same court annulled the election results, threw out the votes, and now say another election must take place.

The EU intelligence services apparently said social media platforms like TikTok were to blame for Georgescu’s surge in popularity.  His voters violated customs and norms of regular media that are used to control political outcomes in Romania, and therefore the election result cannot be allowed to stand.  The people in Romania are stunned at the intervention, and no political party agrees with it.

ROMANIA – […] The Constitutional Court in its published decision cited the illegal use of digital technologies including artificial intelligence, as well as the use of “undeclared sources of funding.” It said one candidate received “preferential treatment on social media platforms, which resulted in the distortion of voters’ expressed will.”

Georgescu slammed the verdict as putting “democracy is under attack.”

I have been waiting for someone to outline what the Dept of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is all about.  Unfortunately, perhaps due to the history of the matter, it appears few understand. So, with that in mind, and accepting the operators of DOGE may not have a fulsome comprehension of the dynamic, here is what it means.

The last Federal Budget that passed through “regular order” was for Fiscal Year 2008, signed by President George W Bush in September of 2007.  Every budget since has been outside regular order; a series of continuing resolutions, omnibus spending packages and short-term funding mechanisms.  {CITATION}

That is correct.  In the past 17 years, all federal spending has been ‘short-term’ or ‘stop-gap’ spending measures, generally known as “Continuing Resolutions,” where the govt (House and Senate) continue to perpetually resolve to fund the government.  The CRs as they are known, punt the spending debate by accepting a baseline of prior spending and tweaking around the edges.

The key takeaway to begin thinking about DOGE is to understand that REGULAR ORDER has not been used since Fiscal Year 2008.

Title III of the Congressional Budget Act outlines a legal timeline that each President and Congress must follow {SEE HERE}.  Prior to 2007, Continuing Resolutions were only used to resolve short term arguments about spending priorities.

♦ BACKGROUND – The President is required by law to submit his budget by the first Monday in February.  Yes, even when an election takes place and a President doesn’t assume office until January 20th, the first Monday in February is still the legal requirement for the new White House budget proposal.

The Presidents’ budget is then submitted to The House of Representatives, where two weeks later the Congressional Budget Office, reviews the budget and issues an opinion as to the cost of the budget.   No later than six weeks after the President submits his budget all House committees send the House Appropriations Committee their spending proposals [April 15].

Through May and June, each budgetary appropriations bill from the House is sent to the Senate.  The Senate receives the House appropriations bills, then reviews through the Senate Appropriations Committee (Thune just picked Susan Collins as Chair).  The Senate proposes their spending priorities based on the House bill because the House has constitutional authority to originate all spending [June 15].  The House and Senate budgets are “reconciled” using parliamentary procedures [June 30] and then sent to the President for signature.

The fiscal year begins October 1st.

That’s the regular order process.

Germany is the largest economy in the E.U. However, due to a confluence of horrible events, most of them self-created as an outcome of ridiculous energy production decisions, the German industrial economy has been contracting since 2022.

Into this downward spiral of negative economic events within Germany, now comes the problem of President Trump eager to eliminate the Marshal Plan of one-way tariffs and start dealing with the trade inequities.  The German industrial manufacturing companies who make up the majority of the economic output are concerned, very concerned.

Within the discussion suddenly something appears that all Western financial pundits have yet to accept. Leo Barincou, a senior economist at Oxford Economics in Paris says:

[…] limited tariffs on selected products, such as cars, chemicals and agricultural products, may not be too much of a problem, Barincou says. A rising dollar, and hence a falling value of the euro, would offset some of the harm caused by the tariffs. “At a macro level, the impact would be limited,” he says. (read more)

Yep, here we go again.

In recent days the Washington Post, Tampa Tribune, USA Today and LA Times have refused to endorse President Obama’s selected and chosen installed candidate, Kamala Harris.  Against this backdrop, former President Obama has delivered some of his most toxic and divisive speeches and pronouncements to date.

From his high-horse, Obama has scolded black men for refusing to accept his appointed replacement and relied on angry ridiculing messaging in his last desperate attempts to remain relevant.  Big Mike has joined in the proclamations of fear, targeting her Alinsky approach toward bitter, white suburban women.

Internationally, the French parliamentary elections rebuked President Emmanuel Macron, the recent Georgia referendum was overwhelmingly against the NATO agenda.  The Hungarian people are pushing back against EU/NATO demands for more bloodshed in Ukraine, while Serbia, Slovenia and Montenegro refuse to antagonize Putin.

As the BRICS+ coalition gains influence, Argentina and El Salvador shift away from the agenda of the World Economic Forum.  The Western alliance is now dependent on Australia and Great Britain to advance the Build Back Better agenda as Germany and other industrialized nations continue suffering economic contraction as an outcome of their energy compliance program, an economic suicide mission.

While quietly benefiting from a tenuous background alignment with Russia, Turkey has positioned itself as Erdoğan always does, for itself and only for itself.  As an outcome of international financial processes intended to punish Vladimir Putin, Russia has entirely divested itself from western financial influence.  After a modicum of moderate angst in the decoupling, Russia is thriving.  The Chinese industrial base now benefits from a closer economic alliance with Moscow.

In the biggest of the big pictures, U.S influence across the globe has significantly diminished.  The dollar-based geopolitical elephant is slowly being chewed down to size, one bite at a time.

We have often said the American people are in an abusive relationship with our government; meaning the priorities and important policies of the majority of Americans (specifically immigration, economic nationalism, Ukraine spending, and the core elements that have created the Trump/RFK Jr coalition), are not represented in the legislative outcomes of a UniParty congress.

In essence, the USA government, both parties, are deaf to the voices of American citizens.  This is stunningly visible around the issue of congress using U.S taxpayer funds to support the Ukraine government and the Ukraine budget.

However, this is not just an American problem.  We can see the same disconnect in Canada, Australia, the U.K. and parts of the EU including France and more recently, Germany.

In the Eastern German elections held Sunday, the AfD party (Alternate for Deutschland) won resounding victories.  Essentially, the center-left party and the UniParty coalition, was disregarded. The election was won by pragmatic nationalists on the key issues of immigration, the economy and Ukraine policy.

(Wall Street Journal) […] Projections by public broadcaster ZDF showed the AfD getting around 33.4% of the votes in Thuringia and 31.4% in Saxony, with Scholz’s center-left SPD scoring under 8% in both states, with its two coalition partners trailing it. (more)

In response there is an almost laughable reactive article in Politico, where they push the same favored MSM narrative of “far right, Nazis, surging again just like 1945,” etc. etc. blah, blah, blah.  Laughably, they use language like, “The far-right Alternative for Germany just keeps rising despite efforts to stop it.”…  I mean, seriously; have you ever seen a more perfect encapsulation of the disconnect.

In order for the professional political leftists to continue what they do best, which is to destroy everything, they must pretend not to know things.  In this example the entire media ecosphere pretends not to know that what they are seeing happen in all of these elections is a reaction to globalism being pushed by the governing body, while the citizens are against it.

This is a weird follow-up to the Nord Stream pipeline explosion. Apparently, German investigators are on the hunt for a Ukranian suspect who was hiding out in Warsaw, Poland.  Why Germany, and not the USA?  Because the USA previously blamed Russia, and it will look silly now if they admit it wasn’t Putin.

The Ukranian suspect is named is “Volodymyr Z”, and before the Polish police could arrest him and turn him over to the German police, Volodymyr Z slipped back across the border into Ukraine. That’s the story, and apparently, they are sticking to it.

BERLIN, Aug 14 (Reuters) – Poland received a European arrest warrant issued by Berlin in connection with the 2022 attack on Nord Stream pipelines, but the suspect, a Ukrainian man named as Volodymyr Z, has already left Poland, Polish prosecutors told Reuters.

He was able to leave as Germany had failed to include his name in a database of wanted persons, added the prosecutors.

The multi-billion dollar Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines transporting gas under the Baltic Sea were ruptured by a series of explosions in September 2022, seven months after Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

German investigators believe Volodymyr Z, a Ukrainian diver, was part of a team that planted the explosives, the SZ and Die Zeit newspapers reported alongside the ARD broadcaster, citing unnamed sources.

Polish National Public Prosecutor’s Office spokeswoman Anna Adamiak said German authorities sent a European warrant to the District Prosecutor’s Office in Warsaw in June for Volodymyr Z in connection with proceedings conducted against him in Germany.
