  • Long Report: Europe’s infiltration

    The worldwide interest in Europe’s human demographic problem has extended over long decades of infighting and official responses to outbreaks of irregular antisocial activity and rioting that’s a result of people’s frustrations.

    The point remains clear that people are upset about uncontrolled numbers being allowed in via many entry points and without pre-prepared reasons why.

    The political effect is a cause of concern for elected representatives who see that at some point down the line there may be a resurgence of ugly fascist activism or an occurrence of a new kind that uses modern efficiency to make a point.

    While most people in Europe – from officials to neighbourhood guardians – are under no illusions that Europe is struggling with a big problem along its borders, the matter of how to keep crossing points to regulate human travel and keep criminals out is confounding us at the top.

    Rough ground

    The problem started with poor planning in central EU bodies. An incorrect predictive method of analysis used by academics years back to work out directions of travel for those escaping thousands of different types of trouble and trauma across the world led to inaccurate forecasts and breaches.

    European planners had wanted to have an awareness of people struggling elsewhere but the faulty data meant that before long too many people had already arrived and many more had already started to make the long journey to Europe.

    The moralistic argumentation that came to supersede their analysis broke down any further regulation of borders and led to large numbers making it through. As interest grew and editors requested its coverage, a period of civilisational unrest set in that’s lasted for decades.

    Troubled waters

    Europe has suffered largely by itself with this matter. Many Middle Eastern states have taken advantage of it and sent raiding criminal parties to attack banks, disrupt Universities, and decimate communities. This has been for nominal advantage but mostly for entertainment.

    The domestic confusion has been made worse by the adversaries that already trouble Europe. Every indicator of sabotage and infiltration by external forces has shown a maximum threat level at some point since the chaos ensued.

    The political dimension has stressed in this bubble of hyped optimism and blowout warfare. The numbers of socialist groups causing trouble in mainland Europe has exploded alongside inducements by older statesmen, backing from firms, and media representation.

    Fighting back

    Apart from the noise and clamour people in Europe have been fighting back. I spoke to a ‘secret’ cell in Germany made up of members from many different nations. They’d volunteered their time and resources to clearing irregular camps, collecting up weapons, and completing data sets of random persons.

    The concern has now – finally – made its way to the central boardrooms of law enforcement agencies and planning sectors across Europe. The realtime observation of specific events helps decision makers to make credible plans for a return to law and order and social calm.

    Governments know that this work is responsible. Money is being released for infrastructure to be raised up over problem areas. The issue is a part of national security considerations for the main bulk of nations that recognise Europe as a birthplace and home.

  • Putin’s mad professor moment

    Russia is hellbent on creating chaos in Ukraine, invading its space and suffocating its skies. It’s a sophisticated attempt to throttle a modern democracy, overthrow its leaders, and settle the state into a new direction.

    Apart from the atmosphere in Moscow, though, it’s nothing more than a mad scientific experiment to other people.

    The analytics side of newscasting can’t see it adding up. Russia’s national security needs aren’t tied to Ukrainian elections. Democracy doesn’t creep across borders. Putin is being paranoid.

    The depth of his rhetoric also suggests a superficiality to the campaign itself. With the Wagner chief now dead, and intellect Alexander Dugin in flight, Putin is increasingly isolated.

    The mad professor moment has come to a stop. The military must withdraw and Russia has to enter its stalemate position again. Such dynamism isn’t its forte. Europe has better things to do. It’s the end.

  • Exclusive: Palace accepts blame for Europe crisis

    In a stunning admission for our times, the King has accepted blame for the widespread disruption in Europe caused by a mixup between GCHQ systems and those of the Royal Navy. It’s believed he’s alleged to have ignored warnings in senior meetings, leading to a loss of activity and foresight on the matter.

  • Caught: Boat smuggling ‘expert’

    In a wakeup call for law enforcement bodies and border defence experts everywhere, an internationally notorious boat smuggling ‘expert’ alleged to be involved in illegal people movement in Europe has now been spotted in London.

    It’s believed his presence is due to a need to repurpose the small boat crossings to take in new supplies of boats and other materials.

    Footage captured today showing a suspect alleged to be involved in boat smuggling activities.

    He’s a danger to the public and is followed by subterranean live streaming networks run by criminals in places like Africa and Asia.

    The small boat crossings – dubbed the Dover Crossings on this site – continues to disturb security analysts and has been described as a “catastrophe” due its scope and the time it’s been active.

  • Press Release: Europe to confirm recovery

    European heads of state will each confirm their recovery status in light of recent and long-standing crises to ensure the continent exits in an appropriate manner. This excludes Russia.

  • EU efficiency is needed now

    The European crisis is spread out and complex. Anything else would feel strange right now. There isn’t a single country that’s not seen the drama. It’s not been helped by relaxed working practices and poor forms of response from lawmakers.

    It’s believed that over 90% of communities have experienced periods of breakdown. Most of it is originates from Africa, where criminals have long plotted to defraud Europe, to ‘punish’ its populations for human weaknesses and promote strength.

    The problem is it’s happening now and there needs to be a response from those best placed to coordinate resources. But these people are away with the fairies. They either blame their colleagues or think help comes from elsewhere.

    The EU has a way of evolving, but the ever-developing institution needs to show some fight and make progress on matters. Its over-complication of internal affairs has left Europe to rot in the meantime.

    The UK’s exit came just in time. We’ve managed to scramble a response to a human disaster, but more is needed to finally bring it to an end. All eyes are on Brussels.

  • A revived Russia waits in the wings

    Even as strikes hit Kyiv and Ukrainians groan for the end of a war, Russians are seeking the light at the end of the tunnel. This is their country’s conflict – launched illegally for short-sighted goals – but there’s a feeling that it’s gone on for too long. Putin’s time is up.

    The economically active are vying for a return to business as usual and want things to be normal. Although their support for the President is seen as complicity, and tacit validation for engagement, the reality is the war station isn’t easy.

    Throwing off constraints will come as the Presidential team flip switches and inform the regions. His orders are paramount, but will dry up. Therefore, life will bounce back to its former strength, handing over control of daily matters to lesser leaders and officials.

    The total state war leveraged by Moscow leadership to re-state aims and sharpen its focus will go down here as a bad war. In history, it strikes against values of peace and harmony. In politics, it held up vital progress in other areas. It also exposed a shaky basis to modern European beliefs.

  • Russia needs to smell the coffee

    Putin may be feeling rough right now for good reason. His war in Ukraine is stalling, providing few signals of hope for the Russian leader. It looks like a policy mistake from the ground up. Although Russians look to such matters as part of their unfolding narrative – seeing hardship perpetually in the past, and receding further behind them – it’s not easy to reclaim the moral high-ground on this one.

    The next move has to be a retreat and peacemaking agenda. Europe is resolved to see a cessation of hostilities through to completion. It cannot fathom ‘giving up’ a potential EU member for the simple goal of placating Moscow’s disgruntled military chiefs. There’s no charity involved in its diplomacy at present, either. It’s short thrift for anyone seeking to confuse matters on the ground.

    The Russian President has an outlook that’s different, however, and as far as his statements on Ukraine have been insulting so far, his next will be criticisms of its future. He has a way of seeing everything from a strictly nationalistic perspective, and it never runs dry. We only have to wait for his pontifications because the script is written for him. His feeling of dominance looms larger than any call for compromise.

  • The small boats crisis is a European emergency

    The effort to use human trafficking as a precursor to further criminal activity is not something that’s necessarily new but it isn’t an issue that’s widely understood. It’s especially clear the sight of hundreds of thousands of people making a journey across the English Channel doesn’t fit into a criminal context in the public mind.

    Although piracy and shipping of human trafficking victims is known in law enforcement enterprises worldwide, UK public discourse has yet to reach the point of understanding over global trends such as this. We tend only to look at charitable issues and filter any further information through such a lens as this one.

    In Europe there are plenty of criminal gangs that try to combine illegal human activity into a staged attempt to gain larger amounts of cash or more significant assets in one go. This is to enable a larger payout but also a payoff significant to the level of the numbers of people involved. Dover Crossings criminal Sarah Kaplan is in this remit of nefarious people.

    Her meetings in Weisenbach, Germany, to talk to criminal contacts were arranged for this purpose. She needed to know how to fit it all together. Alongside her involvement in multiple crime leagues, this formed a bedrock for engaging in illegal global trends. Her insight grew and her status increased. Eventually, her implication in migration chaos brought her multitudes to us in a small boats crisis.

    Such a demanding effort is an attempt to gain in notoriety – as equal an uphill task for people on the wrong side of the law as those engaged in lawful employment. Its benefits are wide ranging. Few are really that successful. It explains why threats exist in unfolding events. It demands a response that’s relevant to its scale. It’s got a criminal character that’s hard to defeat.

  • Ukraine needs to get regional backing first

    Ukraine has testy relations with its European neighbours, so say top officials in its diplomatic units and academics that train the next generation in its Universities at home. The galvanising force of anti-Russia hatred only goes so far as to make them ideologically aligned, but practical realities aren’t yet in synch to put on a strong front.

    President Zelenskyy has a tough time ahead because his voters want Europe to emerge united after war and this means reaching out to leaders who even have arguments with themselves. Russia can hope that at least this falls apart if its war ambitions are diminished.

    Putin is a key contact for the disaffected, however, and his teams will seek to be disruptive in any prolonged negotiation period. They will pick up on existing tensions and try the patience of the well-meaning. In his view, a divided Europe is as much a win as Ukraine.

  • Europe may have to go quietly on its Anti-Americanism

    The Russia-Ukraine war is a disastrous affair. For Europeans who believe in a peaceful post-war settlement it challenges everything. The never ending progress of harmony is stalled, struggling across a border in Eastern Europe. The security of Europe is under such a serious threat it has to be considered existential.

    But, a perverse Anti-Americanism is creating a narrative arc. It threatens how Europeans have seen this issue since 1945. America isn’t far behind many breakthroughs in deadlocks that occur because of seemingly insurmountable odds. Their exclusion could sink European ideals which are its main priority in the modern era.

    The extrication of the world’s only superpower is a ridiculous idea. It’s a disastrous denial of the existing world order as it is, and yet another exaggeration of Europe’s ability to do things for itself. The European project is one thing, but the rest of the world is still an entirely separate reality. Europe’s leaders need to consider this first.

  • European conservatives need to see the future

    The more negative the news stakes become for conservatives, the more prone these same people have been to strike out against news cycles in Europe to propose alternatives. This is interview-style politics and not the politics of a heritage or even of learning.

    In Europe, it takes time to build a movement. It needs people (or members) that are accountable for what they say and believe. Also, participation and funding is key to its real progress in the halls of power.

    However, too many are trying to find a way through bulletins and impending bad news statistics for people without providing guidance as to their real situation. The lack of this attention to detail and also ambition to do it is a telling feature of mainstream European conservatism.

    The failing, broken policy of one crowd has to be replaced by a foundation of reason and ideas built up by another. The departure from this scene in politics is already leaving huge gaps in the future. The less provision there is for actual participation, the worse it will be for everyone.

  • Revealed: MI6 considered Orban to be a dictator

    Viktor Orban has just lost power in Hungary, and so the suggestion that MI6 considered the European leader to be a dictator comes a little late in the proceedings. But it’s an important insight because some of the apparatus of the UK that responds to threats to security might have included this fact in its reasoning.

    The precise details are less facts on the ground than warnings from inside the country itself. In an effort to protect UK citizens – and its own assets – MI6 conducted a thorough review and it concluded that caution should be shown. It’s alleged Orban ruled from behind closed doors.

    The populist leader was not seen as so by many other conservative leaders, such as President Trump, but low level Intelligence activity is useful for planning beyond politics. It’s well known that MI6 acts with caution in the parts of Europe that know Orban well, finding Russia’s influence to be everywhere there.

  • We don’t always know what’s behind the frontlines

    The tricky subject matter involved in hostile warfare is the type of false leadership the aggressor intends to setup to occupy for the time afterwards.

    It’s not necessarily true that Adolf Hitler intended to rule over Europe himself. It may have been that he wanted others to govern in his place, and there is evidence to suggest he had been forming a formidable regime to take over once he had declared victory.

    The lack of a final day to his effort and the declaration of victory in Europe and further afield killed off such a plan.

    This is the grey area of war and it takes up the study of many intelligent planners who need to be aware about the realities of victory and defeat in real time in the modern world.

    It can sometimes be confusing because some warmongers have not necessarily taken control once they’ve achieved a sort of victory.

    In the case of Russia it’s not been proved who may take Putin’s place if it took Ukraine. In fact, his plan may be to just influence while he lets the country reshape itself.

    To understand the field of play in Europe takes expertise, and even historic battles are not yet fully resolved in their complexities because what people actually wanted to achieve isn’t clear.

  • What now for Ukraine?

    The Ukraine war is a moment of reckoning for Europe because beforehand we felt things were safe.

    Many in high European circles felt that Russia was pacified and that war was not possible. In their eyes, it was the only option and had been since the Second World War.

    The assault on Ukraine is therefore a wakeup call but even now it’s not clear how many should be worried about it.

    There’s obviously a strong reaction to any threat to the security of Europe.

    The Second World War was a costly exercise. Its level of sacrifice continues to have a profound effect on us today, leaving us in a truly defensive mode.

    What we’re willing to do is a first test of structure and integrity.

    NATO juggles its responsibilities as a public exercise. It hasn’t made strong moves against Russia. Its members are largely absent.

    European nations have struggles of their own, being unwilling to drop everything to fight a Russian phantom for Ukraine. It harks back but doesn’t make sense.

    Ukraine has to win but maybe it will happen on its own terms. The ‘boots on the ground’ are Ukrainians seeking an urgent reset for their ambitions.

    If this works Europe has proved that the free world is a place of conclusion for nefarious intent. Any plan of Putin can take a back seat in the great scheme of things.
