In the long term, there is only one form of social insurance that is sustainable. The old ones called it: the family!

Europe Must Overcome Its Infantile Rainbow Stalinism
if Europe really wants to play a role in the world of tomorrow, and this will be a world of realpolitik dictated by the pacific region, then it must reverse the principles of recent years.
Political competence must be returned from bureaucracy-ridden Brussels to the regions, a right of secession for these regions must be anchored in the community that exerts pressure on any form of centralization of power, europe must de-bureaucratize itself and deregulate markets, there must be a common migration pact that puts an end to the immigration misery and the resulting domestic political catastrophe situation.
Europe must become so fiscally attractive in terms of tax law that the bright minds come and not the failed, dubious existences that an entrepreneurial spirit emerges and a new corporate culture can grow, Europe must recommit itself to the family as the foundation of society and cut its socialist golden calf, the paralyzing welfare state, to the extreme. It must overcome its propaganda education of left-wing radical rainbow Stalinism and find its way back to meritocratic values and individual performance orientation.
It sounds like a Herculean task, and it is. But precisely these processes will one day be contained, when more and more people realize that the careless and infantile abandonment of personal responsibility into the hands of functionaries and rent seekers is once again giving birth to the very political and social processes that have already turned the 20th century into a century of catastrophes. It is precisely the wonderful fruit of meritocratic bourgeois society that leads to the prevention of power-centeredness and the control of those who attack it.

The Frescoes and Art of Minoan Civilization: A Window into Time and Emotion
When the ancients thought of Crete, they immediately had one word in mind: thalassocracy. This means sea rule and it implies something very special, a people that could behave in a largely non-military way internally, focusing on trade and art.
Anyone visiting the Greek island of Crete today, the large elongated island that closes off the Aegean Sea to the south, cannot avoid a visit to the temple complex of Knossos. Knossos was the center of the culture we have come to know as the Minoan, the first high civilization in Europe. It is a spectacular palace culture that became the focus of European excavators over 100 years ago and where the archaeologist Arthur Evans left his fingerprints for all to see. His attempts to reconstruct the ancient palace, largely inspired by Greek myths and tales, have met with a divided response from aesthetes - have they destroyed and distorted more than would have been permitted from an archaeological and scientific point of view? Or do they help us to form a picture of what once flourished over three and a half thousand years ago? This may be in the eye of the beholder, but what has been preserved and possibly not falsified is astonishing.
Let us first take a brief look at the chronology of the Minoan civilization.
The Minoan civilization, flourishing roughly between 3000 and 1100 BCE, left behind a legacy that’s as much about beauty as it is about mystery. To really understand their art, we need to walk through its phases—the Prepalatial, Protopalatial, Neopalatial, and Postpalatial periods—and feel the emotions woven into every brushstroke.
Let’s start with the early days, the Prepalatial period (around 3000–2000 BCE). Back then, Minoan art was still finding its feet. Think simple pottery with swirling patterns or small figurines carved from stone or clay. It’s raw, unpolished, but there’s a quiet energy in it—a sense of people experimenting, reaching for something bigger. The emotional tone here feels tentative, like a whisper of curiosity about the world they lived in. You can almost picture a potter by lamplight, tracing spirals that mimic the waves crashing nearby.
Then comes the Protopalatial period (2000–1700 BCE), when things start to shift. The first palaces pop up—Knossos, Phaistos, Malia—and with them, the art gets bolder. Frescoes begin to appear, though they’re still basic compared to what’s coming. We’re talking geometric designs, simple plant motifs, a splash of red or black on plaster. It’s functional, sure, but there’s a growing confidence, a pride in these new spaces they’re building. The emotion? It’s like the hum of a community waking up, buzzing with possibility.
Now, the Neopalatial period (1700–1450 BCE)—this is where the Minoans hit their stride, and honestly, it’s breathtaking. The frescoes from this era, like the ones at Knossos or Santorini’s Akrotiri, are bursting with life. Picture the “Bull-Leaping Fresco”: young acrobats flipping over a charging bull, their bodies twisting mid-air, all framed in vivid reds, blues, and yellows. Or the “Saffron Gatherers,” women delicately picking flowers, their faces soft and focused. There’s no stiffness here—just fluid lines and a love for movement. The colors alone—those bright, earthy tones—radiate joy, a celebration of nature and human vitality. It feels like a kind of awe looking at them, like the Minoans wanted to bottle up every fleeting moment of happiness and share it with us. The figures aren’t posed like statues; they’re caught mid-step, mid-laugh, mid-dance. There’s a playfulness, a reverence for the sea and the land—dolphins leaping through waves, lilies curling up walls. It’s like the Minoans were saying, “Look at this beautiful world we’re part of.” Even in scenes that might hint at ritual—like the “Grandstand Fresco” with its crowds—there’s a warmth, a sense of togetherness. It’s not cold or distant; it’s intimate.
Then comes the Postpalatial period (1450–1100 BCE), and the mood shifts. After volcanic eruptions and Mycenaean influence creep in, the art feels different—darker, more restrained. The warlike spirit of mainland Greece takes hold - war chariots appear, martial motifs now set the psychopolitical tone during the period of the operation, which now also dominates state-led art. The frescoes thin out, and what’s left has a tighter, more linear style. The “Throne Room” at Knossos, with its griffins and muted tones, still has beauty, but there’s a weight to it, a quiet resilience. The emotion here feels reflective, maybe even a little melancholic—like a people holding onto their identity amidst change.
Minoan art shows us a mirror of our journey through time. From humble beginnings to a dazzling peak, then a gentle fade, it’s a story told in color and form. The frescoes especially—they’re not just decoration. They’re a heartbeat, pulsing with joy, wonder, and, later, a softer kind of strength. Standing in front of them (or even imagining them), makes one feel connected to those ancient hands that painted them, like they’re still speaking to us across the centuries, saying, “This is who we really were.”

if our globalists in London and Brussels don't wake up soon, they will go too far in their panic and madness
EU pushes ahead with joint debt project
The debate about so-called Eurobonds is now picking up speed again. Ursula von der Leyen is already talking about a volume of up to 800 billion euros, and the euro members have already granted 150 billion euros more or less. The Russian panic that has now broken out will build the bridge to the remaining maastricht rules and debt principles being thrown overboard. The European Union is thus taking a titanic step towards becoming a global state. Bad news for all those who rely on regional competencies and sovereignty.

I meant patriotism in the sense that it is easy to channel through the right propaganda, especially against external pseudo-enemies
New Fiscal Fiasco In Germany: Could Political Incompetence Finally Force Peace?
It didn't take long for the ripples caused by Vladimir Selenski's bizarre appearance in the White House to reach the old continent again. In a hectic emergency meeting in London, the leaders of European politics tried to demonstrate their unity and their will to continue the Ukraine project, whatever the cost. At times, it was like watching half-strength men playing with their muscles - somewhat bizarre and ridiculous, but not unfunny if it weren't a matter of life and death.
It was just over a week ago that the Germans re-elected the Bundestag after the collapse of the government a few months ago, and it quickly became clear that a coalition of familiar forces would be needed to keep the German globalists' mortal enemy, the AFD, out of business. And so the new Chancellor of the CDU, Friedrich Merz, will forge a coalition with the Social Democrats, as quickly as possible, and continue what they had started: the joint action against Putin's Russia.
It only took a few hours for Merz to announce immense new borrowing to expand the country's defense budget to possibly up to 600 billion euros in the coming years. Money that the eurozone's largest economy does not have, after having shot itself in the head several times economically. Just think of the war against the automotive industry and the phase-out of nuclear power, as well as the sanctions packages against Russia, which have left the German economy lagging behind.
Germany’s prospective black-red coalition is staring down this self-inflicted financial abyss. Sources close to the negotiations between the Union (CDU/CSU) and SPD reveal a staggering budget shortfall—between €130 billion and €150 billion—projected through 2028. Federal Finance Minister Jörg Kukies (SPD) dropped this bombshell during Friday’s exploratory talks, according to insider accounts confirmed by multiple outlets. The figure paints a grim picture of a nation teetering on the edge of economic ruin. Friedrich Merz, who campaigned on a promise to audit the federal books, must now wish he’d never peeked under the hood. What he found was worse than anyone dared predict: a fiscal mess so severe it’s rattling the foundations of Germany’s economic reputation. The numbers don’t lie, and they’re screaming a warning—Berlin’s balance sheet is bleeding red, and the coalition’s ambitions may drown in it. This isn’t just a hiccup; it’s a structural collapse years in the making. Analysts point to unchecked spending and systemic strains, though the talks remain tight-lipped on specifics. For now, the coalition hopefuls are scrambling to plug a gap that threatens to swallow their agenda whole.
This brings us to the Punch and Judy show and the team photo of the mimetically embarrassing group meeting in London. There, the two new strong men of Europe, Emmanuel Macron and host Keir Starmer, unceremoniously relegated the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to last place, just to say: if you can't pay for anything, then you won't take part in the future big-man games!
Everyone knows that, with the possible exception of Poland, no other European state has any military power worth mentioning. They are all small shadows of their former selves, rotten economies with weak fiscal chests that have saved their shadow armies from the Cold War under the protective umbrella of the Americans, who are now withdrawing. But obviously no one in Europe has read this memo properly, otherwise how could this meaningless talk of boots on the ground in Ukraine and massive support for the country be understood? The Europeans will soon have to deal with completely different problems, migration policy, economic and security problems, and the Ukraine project will very quickly fade into the background. But to this day, no effort at diplomacy with Russia can be seen. It is a complete denial of reality among the so-called political elite of the old continent.
Let’s call it what it is: Germany’s fiscal implosion is a twisted stroke of good fortune for a continent on edge. For years, Berlin’s shot itself in the foot—wild spending sprees, an open-door rush into social welfare, and an economic self-sabotage that historians will marvel at in disbelief. This €150 billion chasm isn’t a glitch; it’s the bill coming due for a nation that’s been running on fumes. This economic seppuku might just douse the war drums thumping across Europe. With Germany’s credit rating poised to tank—hello, France’s shaky tier—the markets won’t stomach funding big kinetic wars or military gambits via the money printer. Hyperinflation would shred the euro before the first tank rolls. So, while Germany’s elites scramble to salvage their coalition, the rest of us might dodge a bullet. Economic chaos? Sure. But a quieter continent...
On a meta-level, a kind of war-weariness is taking place, which has demographic reasons and is based on the general decomposition of every form of patriotism. For decades, the radical left has successfully rooted out any form of traditional patriotic thinking from the minds and souls of the people and it will not be possible to activate them once again for a proxy war of the globalists from London and Brussels. No one in their right mind will fight for 15 minute cities, cbdc control money or forced vaccinations and total media control. The game is over!

Yes, please. The US needs to hold pace with our shitshow over here in Europe
A wonderful example of the cooked figures from state institutions: the FED nowcast from the Atlanta Federal Reserve. Real GDP has plummeted from -1.5 % on Friday to -2.8 % on Monday. So the Americans obviously didn't consume anything over the weekend. I think it should be clear to the last person that government statistics are nothing but dog shit.
