A Revolution is Raging in Europe
Across the world, nationalism is fighting back against globalism, and Europe a main battle front.
The election of Donald Trump to a second term as President of the United States is a groundbreaking achievement not just for the US but for the Western collective that is dominated by the United States.
For the leadership of European Union, Trump’s election has caused panic and fear to ripple through Brussels. The true globalist believers in the European Commission must have felt shivers down their spines as they read about Trump’s pronouncements about Ukraine, for example. The EC leadership has made the conflict in Ukraine into an “existential” struggle, threatening the very survival of Europe itself. Josep Borrel former Head Diplomat for the EU, told reporters on a trip to Kiev : “The EU will always support Ukraine, because Russian aggression is an existential threat to Europe and Europeans.”
Indeed, the $113 billion in support from the EU still falls short of the gargantuan resources that the United States has brought to bear: over $180 BILLION. Trump, of course is threatening to cut off that supply of money and weapons, and he will no doubt be supported in that cut by a predominantly GOP Congress that has already said “no more”.
EU leaders condemn Trump
There is no love lost between the leaders of the EU and Dopnald Trump. He is an outsider as much in Brussels as he is in Washington DC, and he is deeply despised — and feared — in both places.
Guy Verhofstadt, a former Prime Minister of Belgium and long-serving Minister of European Parliament (MEP), is a typical EU Trump-hater. He commented on Trump’s first days in office as follows:
“It’s difficult to say what the most outrageous executive order is of the more than forty he signed yesterday….the pardon to those who attacked Capitol Hill on January 6th ?…the freezing of help to Ukraine for 90 days ?…one point is clear …the free, democratic world, especially Europe, is on its own now !”
Note Verhofstadt’s liberal elite — but US-focused — outrage over “January 6th”. He is just another transatlanticist catspaw for US policy, as I described in in my article, “NATO is a Farce, Part 2: The Puppet Parade”.
Moreover, the insufferable Josep Borrel, never at a loss for worthless words, pronounced continued support for Ukraine even after Trump’s re-election:
“This support remains unwavering. This support is absolutely needed for you to continue defending yourself against Russia’s aggression,” Borrell told r.
As I wrote then, the EU is in the grips of the American Deep State:
“The fact is that for many European leaders, toeing the American line on all matters of foreign economic and military policy is not only acceptable, but axiomatic: they have been groomed by the US permanent state to always act in America’s interest — even if it clashes with the interests of their own people or their fellow Europeans.”
An autocratic Europe “Made in USA” has emerged
In my eight-part series on NATO, I also explained how the Europe has become more authoritarian and autocratic.
This authoritarian and supremely un-democratic nature of the EU was on bold display most recently when the European Commission leadership was “selected” in 2024. In a shady, backroom deal situation, the leaders of the EC, charged with representing 450 million people, were installed in office without having garnered a single vote from a single EU citizen.
While struggling mightily to maintain a charade of being “democratic”, the opaque nature of the EC leadership selection process means that Europeans are being led by a cabal of globalist elites who care nothing about them.
Taking their orders from Washington
The saddest example of the total US takeover of European leadership is perhaps to be found in Germany. While the UK is strongly aligned with the US in terms of policy — especially when it comes to Russia — the reasons for the UK’s posturing are largely home-grown, going back centuries and echoing the dictates of the once mighty British Empire.
Germany, however, is another story. As Russian leader like Putin are quick to point out, Germany remains an “occupied territory” with major US bases, military facilities and even nuclear arsenals scattered about its countryside.
As many have observed, Germany seems incapable of defending its own interests, and the leaders it elects are a far cry from the dynamic statesmen like Willy Brandt and Gerhard Schroeder.
Indeed, today’s German leaders are almost comical in their slavish obeisance to American interests. Whether it is Annalena Baerbock vowing to put the interests of Ukraine ahead of the German people, or Olaf Sholz calmly acquiescing to the US plot for destroy Nord Stream, today’s German leaders are horrid little pawns to American hegemony.
BUT — in some parts of Europe, resistance is building, and an “anti-woke” movement is growing, a backlash against the US-driven globalist agenda that is seeking to destroy European communities and rob Europeans of their very identity.
The battle lines are being drawn
From West to East, new populist leaders and new nationalist movements are springing up, gaining strength and momentum girding themselves for battle with Brussels.
From Sweden to Serbia, from France to Bulgaria, new, conservative political parties are gaining ground in public polls and even gaining hold on the levers of power.
“Six EU countries — Italy, Finland, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia and the Czech Republic — have hard-right parties in government. In Sweden, the survival of the executive relies on a confidence and supply agreement with the nationalist Sweden Democrats, the second-largest force in parliament. In the Netherlands, the anti-Islamic firebrand Geert Wilders is on the verge of power, having sealed a historic deal to form the most right-wing government in recent Dutch history.”
Since May, however, the anti-globalist forces have made even more strides, with the nationalist Freedom Party in Austria actually taking power in September.
Taking on the EU
The nationalist/populist movement in Europe has gained tremendous traction not just at the national level among EU member states. It has led to a wave of new political alliances, legislative groups and organised movements being formed at the EU level.
Patriots for Europe (PfE); the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), and Europe of Sovereign Nations (ESN) are the most prominent of these groups,
The fight is on, and both sides are girding for battle.
Waging a War of Words
For elitist, globalist forces, nothing is as important as “controlling the narrative”. This means not only controlling what appears in the media, but also to literally re-define words and their meanings.
I have watched with dismay how, over the past 20 years, the word “populism” has come to be portrayed as something negative. As an Aerican leftist, I grew up admiring the midwestern “populists” who fought the rise of corporate industrialism with a true progressive movement aimed at helping the common man — the farmers and the working class.
Populism has become something negative
Now, in today’s European Union, the word “populist” has come to be synonymous with “hard right” and is now widely accepted by the global elite as actually being a “threat to democracy”:
“The threat is deadly,” says principal investigator Jan Kubik from Rutgers University in the United States and University College London.
As a group of Stamford professors recently wrote:
“Populist politicians and governments view the formal institutions of liberal democracy as corrupt creations spawned by crooked establishment elites — and so they systematically hollow out and undermine these institutions, such as the courts, regulatory agencies, intelligence services, the press, and so on.”
Imagine that: calling into question the legitimacy of the intel services that have been caught red-handed spying on us, and been proven to have been weaponised to attack certain groups and parties; or calling out the mainstream media who have been equally proven to have lied to us on a regular basis. Calling “Fake News” for what it is — artificial propaganda narratives — is now seen as being “anti-democratic”.
Reports like The Twitter Files and the exposure of the Russiagate hoax have further proven how the elites have joined forces to demonise, delegitimise and even criminalise certain parts of society they don’t like.
Nationalism is now “anti-democratic”
Similarly, the word “nationalism” has now become synonymous with the “far-right”, fascism and worse. This is particularly true on the elitist halls of Brussels, where the globalists are seeking to eradicate national identities in favour of a European “superstate” in which all member nations are subjugated to the greater will of the European Commission and the Brussels bureaucracy.
In July, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace analysed the current situation in the EU as follows:
“The dominant, epoch-making European storyline is now clear: the rise of the far right threatens the EU’s future and democracy. This standard view is expressed in countless opinion pieces and political speeches and is now reshaping both national and EU-level politics.”
But what does “far right” actually mean in this context? Generally speaking, “far-right” or “hard-right” in the current EU context means nationalism, the belief in a nation-state, in the individuality and sovereignty of EU member states, and the right for a nation to protect its borders, its history, culture and language.
Those who lead the charge
The anti-globalist movement in Europe has its own crop of heroes. These heroes have seen the light, they have stopped drinking the EU Kool-Aid proffered by the US puppets who are leading them. Alternative movements, political parties and national leaders are emerging.
Viktor Orbán: Hero of the Revolution
The Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, has grabbed the spotlight as a leader of the anti-globalist movement in Europe. He has had very open and passionate arguments with EU leadership, condemning Ursula von der Leyen for her anti-populist policies and the disastrous sanctions that have immiserated Europeans.
The Hungarian leader has proven himself willing to incur the wrath of Brussels by refusing to allow illegal migrants into his country, and to oppose non-traditional “woke” lifestyles such as trans rights and gay marriage — leading to Brussels withholding €30 billion in EU funds for his intransigence.
This autocratic behaviour led Orbán to declare, at one point: “From our perspective the EU is a benign dictatorship at best, not a democracy”.
Robert Fico: the almost-martyr to freedom
Flanking Viktor Orbán in the pantheon of anti-globalist heroes is Slovakia’s Prime Minister, Robert Fico, who joins Orbán in opposing the “woke” agenda from Brussels, as well as taking a more friendly attitude towards Russia. These views unfortunately made Fico a target of an assassination attempt in May, 2024. Although shot multiple times, Fico survived and returned to his office unbowed and undeterred, in what one might now call the great “Trumpian tradition”.
At a joint press conference in 2024, Fico praised his comrade in arms:
“Dear Viktor, you are extremely popular among normal people in Slovakia because you fight for the national interests of your country, speak openly about the mistakes of international organizations, and stand firmly for the sovereignty of your country.”
Giorgia Meloni, Italy’s siren of the populist movement
Italy’s fiery Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, has carved out a high profile niche for herself in Europe’s populist nationalist firmament. As foreign affairs analyst Daniel Kochis observed:
“…in 2022, Meloni burst onto the world stage, propelled by public concerns over endless waves of migrants washing up on Italian shores, a sclerotic economy and disillusionment with the nation’s relationship with the European Union.”
Indeed, Meloni has grown her party and her movement since taking office, and has become an iconic firebrand for Italian nationalism and populism. She has even crossed the Atlantic to become a high profile confidant of President Trump, and was invited to attend the President’s inauguration on January 20, 2025. Meloni told reporters that her visit there reflected “a desire to strengthen relations with the United States in an era of global and interconnected challenges”.
Most observers see Meloni leveraging her position to become a “bridge” between Donald Trump and his fellow populists in the European Union:
“Both leaders have championed nationalist policies, emphasised the importance of sovereignty and challenged globalist frameworks.”
“Alternative für Deutschland” gains EU momentum
Perhaps the greatest European challenge to these “globalist frameworks” is coming — not surprisingly — from Germany. There, the populist party Alternative für Deutschland (Alternative for Germany) has been gaining ground at blinding speed to become now the second most popular party in Germany.
AfD is led by a charismatic 45 year old woman named Alice Weidel (pronounced “VY-del”), a brilliant speaker and a formidable intellect, a forward-looking and cosmopolitan figure who defies all conventions when it comes to being labeled “far right”. She is highly educated, having completed her dissertation in China on a scholarship from the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. She speaks fluent Mandarin and her wife is a Sri Lankan-Swiss filmmaker. Together they are raising two sons.
Before politics, she worked at Allianz Global Investors and Goldman Sachs.
In other words — definitely NOT a beer-hall putsch-leading rabble-rouser.
Recently, Weidel and AfD have formed an unlikely alliance with US based tech billionaire Elon Musk, who famously posted on X that AfD was Germany’s “only hope”.
Musk has become not just a booster but also a sort of mascot for the AfD party, even appearing at their rallies. He hosted a talk show with Alice Weidel on X, which attracted over 200,000 live viewers and set off alarm bells across Germany and the rest of Europe.
Musk has even come to the defence of Weidel on X:
“The depiction of the AfD as right wing is definitely wrong if you consider that Alice Weidel, the leader of the party, has a same-sex partner from Sri Lanka!” Musk wrote in Germany’s “Welt am Sonntag” newspaper last month. “Does that sound like Hitler? Give me a break!”
For her part, Weidel makes a very cogent and personally powerful case for her party’s opposition to unbridled Muslim immigration, and the effect it has on “liberal” German society:
“I am not here despite my homosexuality, but because of my homosexuality,” she said, arguing that the AfD was purportedly the only party that addressed ‘Muslim’ attacks against homosexuals.”
Indeed, as we are seeing with the “grooming” scandal in the United Kingdom, European elites are dictating that all manner of abuses and crimes should be countenanced in the spirit of multiculturalism.
No wonder, then, that AfD is also making waves on the pan-European level through the European Parliament. In July, German MEPs (Ministers of European Parliament) from AfD, which make up the second largest German contingent in the EU body, founded a legislative group called Europe of Sovereign Nations (ESN), a pro-nationalist conglomeration described by POLITICO as follows:
“The alliance, which counts 25 MEPs among its ranks, is led by Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) and Poland’s Confederation, and is also comprised of MEPs from Bulgaria’s Revival, France’s Reconquête, Slovakia’s Republic Movement, Hungary’s Our Homeland Movement, Lithuania’s People and Justice Union, and the Czech Republic’s Freedom and Direct Democracy.”
Attacking the EU’s “fake elites”
MEP Christine Anderson and has wasted no time in attacking EU globalists and has continued to condemn what she calls Europe’s “fake elites” — insinuating that they are merely puppets of the “real” global elites working behind the scenes in places like Washington and Davos.
In January, Anderson posted on X:
“The fake elites have completely lost touch with reality. Where arrogance and incompetence are plunging an entire continent into chaos, where energy prices and the cost of living continue to rise, where illegal migrants have been overrunning the borders en masse for years and entire branches of industry are leaving the EU along with their skilled workers, while the whole world laughs at the crazy, pseudo-moral delusions of a godforsaken negative elite, Ursula von der Leyen and her WEF henchmen are not far away.”
The Empire Strikes back: Brussels Autocracy
As mentioned above, I have written extensively about how the EU has become more authoritarian and anti-democratic. This anti-democratic behaviour has manifested in the EU withholding billions of Euros in funding from member states who do not toe the EU line on issues such as immigration, gay marriage and trans rights.
Cancelling elections
The autocratic nature of the EU has shown itself most recently with the events in Romania, where an election was actually CANCELLED by the Romanian Supreme Court based on unproven charges of “Russian interference”. Even once those charges were disproved, the court refused to back down, because the candidate who won the election, Călin Georgescu, is an independent who opposes the massive NATO expansion underway in his country.
In January 2025, Georgescu told YouTuber Shaw Ryan:
“The largest NATO base in Europe threatens our democracy and risks drawing us into unnecessary wars…This is not about defending Romania — it’s about serving broader geopolitical goals…We are no longer masters of our destiny.
Moreover, Georgescu knows the true reason for the NATO base — to threaten Russia with a first strike:
“Changing NATO from defence to offence changes the game completely…Our priority should be fostering stability, not becoming a launchpad for aggression.”
Cancelling political parties
In Germany, the establishment political parties in the Bundestag are literally trying to ban the Alternative für Deutschland party from participating in elections, so that Alice Weidel would not be able to run for Chancellor. The main parties in the Bundestag have already all declared a “firewall”, saying that they will refuse to form a government with AfD, meaning that anything short of an absolute majority would keep AfD from power.
In Greece, the parliament has already passed a ban on the populist Greeks-National Party, prohibiting them from participating in national elections.
The fall of NATO and the EU?
What does this all mean? The answer is clear: Europe is moving away from the “woke left” agenda that has been pushed on it by the neocons and neoliberals in Washington for the past 30 years. But more importantly, the rejection of the American liberal globalist narrative is only part of a larger rejection of American hegemony in general.
And MOST importantly, the rejection of American imperialism is being mirrored by a similar movement inside the United States itself. Donald Trump is echoing the calls from nationalists like Orbán, Fico and Weidel to close the borders and defend the culture of one’s own nation, and to put the interests of one’s own country and one’s own people FIRST.
Moreover, such reveleations as the scandal of USAID spending are informing, awakening and liberating people on both sides of the Atlantic:
for Americans, they know where their tax dollars have been wasted;
for Europeans, they know where the so-called “color revolutions” actually originated.
Anti-NATO sentiment builds
US President Donald trump is no friend to NATO. In fact, the US military presence in Europe is already “under review” and there are rumours that Trump may withdraw US forces from the theatre.
Trump is pushing for a showdown with NATO, demanding that European NATO members increase their defense spending to 5%, a level that, for most Western EU members, is simply impossible given their current balance of payments.
Indeed, there is a split that is forming within NATO, as the more bellicose nations of “New Europe” — namely, the ex-Soviet states — are calling for increased military spending, while the more established nations of “Old Europe” — the original NATO members — are reluctant to boost military spending at the expense of their decades-old social welfare system.
The Baltic States and Poland, for example, spend the highest amount of their GDP on the military, but they are also some of the most prominent beneficiaries of EU aid money — money that has been sourced from the “richer” countries in the West (see map below).
No wonder, then, that these “new” members of NATO are willing to put more money into defense. The result is that there are movements inside of several NATO member states to pull out of the alliance. These “No To NATO” states are not just the Western powers. States like Hungary, Slovakia, Czechia and Romania are also moving towards leaving.
EU is set to tear itself apart
A major power shift is on the horizon in Europe. In the EU, countries and peoples are moving away from the “Washington Consensus” status quo in Brussels and across many European capitols. The upcoming general elections in Germany, for example, threaten to deliver a surprise win for the populist nationalist AfD.
The recent speeches by Pete Hegseth and JD Vance at the Munich Security Conference have caused shockwaves to reverberate throughout the EU, with a core group of seven (massively unpopular) leaders calling an “emergency meeting” in Paris to address the “threats from Russia and the US”. Their goal is to sabotage the Putin-Trump peace initiative and keep the war going in Ukraine at all costs.
Stay tuned …

============================================================================
Txs for the article! I agree on many points, but you missing one and got wrong another one.
First, there is a Coup going on now against Roberto Fico of Slovakia, of course made by CIA with another of its criminal colors...
Second, Meloni has nothing to say nothing to offer, she's there as the cutest puppy dog of all EU State leaders Puppets.
She use to be part of a new Fascist Movement, Casa Puond, but then once moved to the so called "social right" she was picked up by Berlusconi's Government where she learned how to make policies only on herself interests and his friends one. So she wags her tail and leak everybody ass only for herself!!
She is a very ignorant person, culturally, philosophy wise, politically, the worst PM ever in Italy, 'cause at least Berlusconi, even a criminal, had some international experience that she has not at all. In Italy she's named as a "borgatara" that means a person very rude, ignorant and with no culture. And she's there thanks to USA Intelligence behavior: put the most idiot on top and you control the State.
DO NOT forget Cambridge Analitica and what they have been doing in Brexit, first Trump election and many other Elections around the world... watch the doc "The Great Hack" if you didn't. The Russians never has anything to do with those...
As Putin admitted during Carlson interview at the Kremlin: " There is not we can do to change people minds, USA Propaganda machine is too strong that would take years to compete..."
Wait, you think that Trump is on our side? He is controlled opposition. On his second day back in office he was pushing new mRNA clot shots. He has filled his administration with WEF members and death jab pushers. He is surrounded by zionists, and keeps praising Israel to high heaven.
