There is new turmoil during the final month of the Political Year from Hell emerging in Romania after the constitutional court annulled the presidential election. Calin Georgescu, who the media declared as a far-right extremist, won the election. The establishment cried “RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE!” and has refused to acknowledge the results.
Georgescu is a critic of NATO and the neocons. He does not support the ongoing war nor does he adhere to the Build Back Better agenda of the New World Order. President Klaus Iohannis released declassified documents ahead of the election that claim Russia interfered in the election by promoting the candidate on social media, TikTok in particular. The establishment also claimed Russia launched 85,000 cyber attacks that primarily targeted social media platforms.
How many nations have blamed Russia for interfering in their elections in recent years? More so, why do we allow them to continue perpetuating this lie when no concrete evidence has been found?
The press release called into question Article 146(f) of the Constitution states that elections must be legal. The courts had already demanded a recount of first votes, and now, the secondary election against Elena Lasconi of the Save Romania Union Party has been permanently canceled. The election cycle must now restart and the people’s wishes must be silenced.
Georgescu ran on a platform of ending Romania’s involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war and vowed to end all funding to Ukraine. He does not believe in climate change and does not want to decimate Romania’s energy industry to accommodate net zero emission goals. Georgescu also questioned the COVID narrative. All of his leading speaking points were anti-establishment, thus, the establishment ensured he could not take office.

DEI application practices have failed. We are equal in rights but not talent. Who would have thought that excluding the majority of the population from the workforce and universities could backfire? The University of Michigan is one of the latest schools to question this discriminatory policy.
“The University of Michigan will no longer solicit diversity statements as part of faculty hiring, promotion and tenure,” the school announced. The school claims it conducted a 2,000-person faculty survey that found staff felt pressured to express specific (i.e., WOKE) political and social views that they did not necessarily agree with, thereby eliminating diversity in thought. “Critics of diversity statements perceive them as expressions of personal identity traits, support of specific ideology or opinions on socially-relevant issues, and serve as a ‘litmus test’ of whether a faculty member’s views are politically acceptable,” the working group wrote in its report. “Thus, as currently enacted, diversity statements have the potential to limit viewpoints and reduce diversity of thought among faculty members.”
However, the university has not fully committed to removing its DEI program. Members declined to vote on whether or not they would continue funding these initiatives that have cost upward of $250 million since 2016. “There are no plans to make any cuts to these programs,” board member Michael Behm said. Basically, they are aware that these programs stifle innovation and thought among faculty and students, but they’re not willing to let go of the control.
The real purpose of this Diversity Equality Inclusion global marketing plan has NOTHING to do with human rights. I think the racist label has greatly died down, for in our own company, we have every religion and race working together. Even this LGBQT movement disrespects others and demands we change our pronouns and abandon any core religious beliefs that do not permit same-sex relations.
Communism failed in part because it prevented independent thought and punished those who thought outside the box. Innovation was no longer possible. Some of the greatest minds like Kondratieff were killed by their government for proposing new ideas that went against the status-quo put forth by the establishment. The Biden Administration has put forth this WOKE ideology under the guidelines of globalist entities like the World Economic Forum and Open Foundation Societies who have championed CEI woke credit scores for the private sector.
Again, my company has always been composed of the most qualified employees. We have staff across the world from all walks of life. They were hired due to their TALENT. I could not imagine finding an excellent applicant who is qualified for the job and saying, “Oh, sorry, we have too many straight white men here already.” But again, we obviously would never need to report a CEI score and bend a knee to any globalist entity attempting to stifle the private sector.
What made the United States the great melting pot and the largest economy in the world was DISCRIMINATION. It was fair, for whoever was the last off the boat was discriminated against until they learned English to get a job. In other words, ASSIMILATION was necessary for immigrants who then also identified as AMERICAN.
DEI operates on exclusivity and not inclusivity, as it champions the notion of entitlement for a select few and is simply unethical. It has become a political weapon that the left will not allow to be questioned. If we want society to advance, we must accept that those who work hard and are born with natural talent and intelligence will excel. Identity politics use tools like DEI initiatives to divide the people when our neighbor is not the enemy.

Britain has become a WOKE nation under Starmer who is eager to adjust the culture to fit this new narrative. There are countless stories of censorship coming from the UK, but one of the most bizarre stories is the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) placing a trigger warning on the film “Wicked” for discriminating against fictional characters.
The PG-rated musical “may be upsetting and poignant for some audiences,” according to the BBFC. Why?“A green-skinned woman is mocked, bullied and humiliated because of her skin colour,” the agency stated. “Talking animals are persecuted in a fantastical society,” the warning continues. Everyone and anyone is now considered a victim under the WOKE movement. I cannot think of a single film that would not be deemed offensive in some way under these vague guidelines.
The only group of people you can openly offend are the Christians. Football/soccer Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has been canceled for writing“I love Jesus” on a rainbow LGBTQ+ armband that the Premier League forced players to wear. “It was a message of love, of truth as well. A message of inclusivity so I think it speaks for itself,” Guehi told reporters after the league considered penalizing him.
The player’s father defended his son’s demonized actions: “The FA are happy for the crowd to sing God Save The King when England plays, which mentions God and religion. And they are happy to have the religious hymn Abide With Me during the cup final and yet they have a go at my son for expressing his beliefs. Where is the sense in that? What exactly has he done wrong?”
Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy, who is Muslim, chose not to wear the rainbow armband. He was not penalized for his actions, and he did not make top headlines. He simply was permitted to exercise his freedom of religion.
They can only force their ideals down our throats when it fits the WOKE narrative. They do not want England to remain a Christian nation and are hellbent on dividing the people into peculiar categories to encourage the divisive culture war.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared an “emergency martial law” on Tuesday without providing clear reasoning. Sources say that Yoon fears impeachment from the opposition party and this declaration is merely a way for him to buy time. “To safeguard a liberal South Korea from the threats posed by North Korea’s communist forces and to eliminate anti-state elements… I hereby declare emergency martial law,” Yoon announced. Parliament overturned the measure within three hours.
What happened was absolute pandemonium. One member of Parliament live-streamed himself climbing over the gates of parliament with the military behind him to cast his vote. Every member of parliament voted against the president’s actions, but Yoon is not going down without a fight. The police and military did not know how to respond after parliament overturned the measure. Parliament was forced to barricade themselves in the building until martial law was lifted. World leaders, the US in particular, frantically contacted Seoul to say they had no warning. Naturally, Korean stocks took a dive as confidence was violently shaken. Yoon was worried about impeachment before this spectacle, but how could he remain in power now?
Martial law would have prevented an immediate impeachment, or at least that is what Yoon had hoped. Under martial law, the National Assembly is severely limited, and it would be difficult to hold impeachment proceedings. Civil liberties were stripped from the people, who were unable to protest or organize to call for an impeachment. Yoon could have used the military to prevent any dissent. He has already painted his opposition, who hold a majority in parliament, as pro-North Korean communists intent on destroying the nation.
The people of South Korea were caught off guard by the emergency declaration. Still, the president insisted it was necessary to protect the people, rather than himself, from a fair democracy. Yoon went as far as accusing the National Assembly as “a haven for criminals, a den of legislative dictatorship that seeks to paralyze the judicial and administrative systems and overturn our liberal democratic order.” Yoon is also enraged at recent budget cuts, which he believes will turn South Korea into “a drug haven and a state of public safety chaos.”
Yoon has used every trick in the book. He has declared that he is protecting the people when in fact he is protecting himself. Only Yoon is attempting to silence the democratic process by behaving like a dictator. The people do not want this man in power. Gallup Korea conducted a poll last month that found 72% disapproved of the president, with only 19% in support. He has rarely received a favorability rating of over 30% due his countless scandals and corrupt image. An online petition gained 811,000 signatures to have the president removed immediately. Yoon has not been officially impeached, nor has it been formally discussed, yet many believe this sudden declaration of martial law is directly related.
Opposition leader Lee Jae-myung believed a coop was inevitable before martial law was lifted. “Tanks, armored personnel carriers, and soldiers with guns and knives will rule the country,” he warned. “The economy of the Republic of Korea will collapse irretrievably.” Hours later, Lee was frantically making public statements to urge the military to retreat, claiming they would be labeled accomplices. “To the police and the members of the armed forces: any orders from the president stemming from this illegal martial law declaration are clearly unlawful, as they violate the constitution and the law.”
Was the president of South Korea attempting to overthrow his own elected government? Socrates warned that 2024 would be the political year from hell and much could happen in the next three weeks.

QUESTION: I want to apologize and thank you. I thought you were just a Trump supporter, but your warning that his tariffs can send the world into a depression demonstrated not just that I was wrong but that you are a genuinely impartial and independent voice in the wilderness. Here in Europe, for the last six months, the newspapers have presented Trump as the devil with no hope whatsoever. Everything you warned here about our economy with climate change and warmongering is correct. The migrant crisis combined with the economy turning down, you warned, would lead to rising civil unrest here as well. With the wave of layoffs in the auto industry, the German economy is in crash mode, as you had forecast.
A friend of mine has followed you since the 1980s. He has been telling me you were the most honest man he ever encountered, and everything you do is to try to steer the world through this chaos into 2032. I can see by your actions that he has been correct. Somehow, we have to get our leaders to listen.
Where do you see Germany headed now on your timeline?
HG
ANSWER: Unfortunately, it has been preordained that we are headed into a recession in some areas and a depression in others, especially in Europe. Trump will be blamed, as Herbert Hoover was, but in both cases, the trends were preordained. Trump, with the bad advice he has been given regarding tariffs, is likely to end up destroying the Republican Party and the implosion we are witnessing in the Democrats.
The core foundation of the entire European economy is Germany, its richest nation. As they used to say about America, if it catches a cold, the rest of the world suffers pneumonia. They say that behind the headlines of “Deutschland,” it has been structured on the automobile, which has also given rise to dubbing it “Autoland.” German cars have long been regarded as the best in the world. Indeed, Europe’s most prosperous business engine has been relying on automobiles, and the climate change agenda has been like you kill a vampire – driving a stake through the heart.
Volkswagen, Europe’s number one car manufacturer, has threatened thousands of job cuts and potential plant closures in Germany as it confronts unions over inflation. The climate change agenda has had a major impact on lowering demand, and on top of that, they are finding stiff resistance to higher-end electric cars. The current cost-cutting layoffs and proposed German plant closings are sending shockwaves into the global marketplace with worldwide implications. Automakers like Mercedes Benz, BMW, Ford, and other industrial giants are all cutting costs and employees across the country. However, Volkswagen announced layoffs for tens of thousands of workers and is considering unheard-of plant closings. The world’s largest auto parts supplier, Bosch, which is one of Germany’s biggest employers, is also reducing both hours and pay for about 10,000 employees. Even Meyer Werft, the German shipbuilder from the 1800s, also recently needed a US$423 million bailout to avoid bankruptcy.
The economic policies of Brussels have absolutely undermined the entire European economy of the EU. As I have also warned many times, Germany has clung to the old Mercantile economic model, keeping taxes high to prevent inflation and manufacturing products to sell to everyone else to bring home the profits. The auto industry will account for up to 17% of German exports in 2023. The total amount of jobs this has accounted for exceeds 750,000 people. German manufacturing has been unable to recover fully since COVID-19 2020. To this day, it has, at best, recovered to only 90% of pre-COVID levels.
The RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA propaganda of the Neocons has severely impacted Germany with the destruction of Nord Stream. The Government refuses to turn on the second pipeline and instead has forced its economy to suffer at least a 300% increase in energy costs. With cheap Russian gas no longer viable and exports to China declining, the war policies of the EU coupled with the economic crisis created by climate change and the cost of funding unproductive migrants, the prospects for the economy of Europe are pointing toward somewhat hard times into 2026. This will most likely contribute to tensions and pointing fingers at Russia to justify war being pushed by NATO.
In late October, Merceds-Benz reported that group profit dropped over 50% year over year, and Ford announced plans to cut its European workforce by 4,000 as well. Germany has depended more on Moscow and Beijing than all other EU countries. With ministers in Germany calling for Article 5 under NATO for a hybrid attack, they are unquestionably undermining the German economy with all of this geopolitical tension thrust on Europe by the Neocons. NATO is pushing to expand operations to Asia, and this is further undermining the German economy in the long term, transforming China from a viable trading partner into a systemic long-term enemy. No leaders are even interested in peace, and they are just doing as directed by the Neocons and NATO, who have no interest in the economy of the people – only waging war.
This lethal combination means that Germany’s entire economic model is under assault from every direction. Then, the tariffs of Trump’s proposals will be added, which will be the final nail in the coffin of the EU. This hybrid Merchantile Model of Germany no longer works. Germany needs major reforms, and that is not likely with Brussels in charge. This immediate lethal combination with a very cold winter expected on our model warns that Germany is headed into a serious recession for the next two years. Brussels is too interested in retaining centralized power and control over the EU member states, and it is ignoring the ripple effect of the decline in Germany throughout Europe.
THIS IS WHY THEY WILL TURN TO WAR
There is no question that the German economy is going to go down hard as this lethal combination of climate change and migration moves to give a death blow to the industrial backbone of Europe, and the politicians are too caught up in the narrative to question the rhetoric. The French head of state met the Finnish president and the Swedish prime minister, and all that came out of it was defense for war. This was an opportunity to carve a new path, but it was dominated by the Neocon speaking points – RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA. Macron only pushed the lifelong dream of Charles de Gaul (1890-1970), which was that France should rise to lead all of Europe – the Napoleon dream.
Macron stressed the need to build a powerful Europe of defense, security, and partnerships, particularly in an international context marked by a multiplication of crises and the continuation of the Neocon theme “Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine,” said the Elysée. They refuse to admit that the Ukrainian civil war was started at the instigation of the West. The solution was clear: the same outcome as the breakup of Yugoslavia into ethnic states. The Minsk Agreement that Merkel admitted was negotiated in bad faith was to allow the Donbas, which are ethnically Russian, to vote on their separation from Kyiv, which was dominated by the old Nazi ethnic cleansing.
Instead of offering any viable solution to the Ukraine War, the leaders kept up this nonsense that Ukraine could actually defeat Russia. I guess they never read the Neocon memo – kill as many Russians as possible until the last Ukrainian falls. The leaders have only stressed the need to step up support for Ukraine with the same nonsense that if Russia defeats Ukraine, they will then turn on all of Europe. This is no longer the 19th century days of empire building, and the Russian people are no longer interested in such a conquest, as Europeans want to occupy Russia.
Macron knows that France is in deep economic trouble as it has one of the highest Islamic populations, about 10%, compared to Germany at 6%. Macron keeps the prowar propaganda claiming that the aim must be thwarting Russia’s war of aggression and restoring Ukraine to its “legitimate rights, which is far from the truth. He added that the important support for Kiev included “strengthening the European defense industrial and technological base, in order to reduce our strategic dependence and reinforce our production capabilities.” Once again, Macron is still pushing France to take the lead and assume the USA under Trump will not support their endless war against Russia.
On Monday, Der Spiegel reported that Scholz made an emergency visit to Ukraine that was a surprise. He expressed his solidarity and promised Germany would remain “Ukraine’s strongest supporter in Europe.” He promised €650m in further military equipment would be delivered in December. This only prolongs the war, for with the German economy turning down very hard, he needs a distraction, which will be the war with Russia. When Biden imposed the sanctions on Russia, and gasoline prices soared, he called it “Putin’s Inflation,” as if the Ukraine Civil War caused the rise in gasoline rather than the sanctions imposed on Russia. Once again, it diverts everyone’s attention from the domestic economic turmoil to international war.
Even when we look at Renault in France, we see next year as a Panic Cycle and a Directional Change. These European leaders are pushing Europe into World War III at NATO’s direction to the peril of the European community. NATO is not necessary if there is peace. This is why they constantly beat the war drums, fearing their funding would be diverted to something else.
Marine Le Pen in France pledged to bring down Prime Minister Michel Barnier’s government after he failed to meet her demands on a new budget. Barnier invoked a constitutional mechanism allowing a social security bill to be adopted without a vote, thereby eliminating democracy entirely. This only opens the door to no-confidence motions. Le Pen said her National Rally party would join a left-wing bloc to support dissolving the government. The National Rally is the largest party in the lower house of parliament, making Le Pen’s words something that warrants attention.
Peace is not profitable, and it allows the people to benefit from the private sector – rather than the government. NATO does everything it can to fuel the fire of war to ensure they keep the funding going for their pensions. Until we wake up to the plans of NATO under the entire WEF scam that they will become the military world department under the one-world government of the United Nations.
And then there is the serious threat of Trump’s Tariffs. The entire theory of Trump’s tariffs is off the wall. It has two parts. One is because of the trade deficit trying to bring back manufacturing to America, and the second is to fund the government by eliminating the income tax. Companies left not because of cheaper labor but because of insane tax policies in the USA. Eliminate the income tax, and everyone will move back, and other companies will pour into the USA real fast. This idea that we can fund the government with tariffs as we once did before the income tax sounds nice, but it is not practical. This will lead only to protectionism and retaliation against American companies. This is unnecessary, but Trump is harder to convince than getting Pelosi’s magic stock trading algorithm.

I have warned that there will be an exodus of migrants fleeing the United States for Canada in the wake of Trump’s presidency. The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada said that the sheer volume of asylum seekers has spiked to the highest on record, with the number of cases rising from 60,000 annually to 200,000. New figures state that Canadian taxpayers are now on the hook for $16 BILLION per year to fund Trudeau’s open borders.
The average processing time per asylum seeker was once 14 months, but due to the uptick in cases, it now takes about 44 months for one person to be processed. Deputy Chair of the Refugee Protection Division, Roula Eatrides admitted that 70% of the agency’s inventory is around a year old. The extended wait time has provided those who do not qualify for asylum status additional time to linger in Canada.
“The refugee program was never supposed to be a backdoor entry into our country to get a work permit. It was supposed to be there to help those that were fleeing persecution, that had an act of war in their country of origin, and that wanted to save their lives,” said Conservative MP Arpan Khanna. “Marc Miller himself acknowledges that most of these cases are likely going to be fake asylum claims for folks whose statuses are expiring but want to stay in this country,” said Khanna.
Khanna said Trudeau is the “bad actor” that he has blamed for the nation’s migrant crisis The costs to fund these migrants is simply astronomical. Conservative MP Lianne Rood launched an inquiry over the spring that found taxpayers were forced to pay $224 DAILY to fund the newcomers, a price that will only rise as more migrants reach the Canadian border.
The Canadian government spends about $140 daily on shelter accommodations and $84 on food and other expenses. Liberals created the Interim Housing Assistance Program to house anyone who enters Canada legally or illegally, and those 3,800 rooms were said to have cost $557 million annually as of November 2023. That program was intended to be temporary and fails to provide even a fraction of the space needed. Then the taxpayers are also on the hook for healthcare and legal costs. The public offices catering to the migrants must also receive their pay.
New data has revealed that costs per asylum seeker have rose to $81,760 annually. In comparison, the average Canadian earned over $11,000 less per year. If the 200,000 people registering for asylum are granted permission to stay, the total bill will reach $16.35 annually and counting.

Zelensky continues to betray his own country following orders from the Neocons, who used Biden to authorize long-range missiles to be launched deep into Russia, which cannot be targeted without American satellite information and coordinates. There is no way he can launch missiles into Russia and expect that Russia will not respond. This was not intended to force Russia to peace talks when the Neocons sent Boris Johnson to kill any peak deal, and now we see more than one million Ukrainians have died since. As the NY Times wrote, General Mark A. Milley, then President Biden’s chief military adviser, suggested that neither Russia nor Ukraine could win the war. This is all about trying to get Putin to attack anything so NATO can invoke Article 5 to try to force Trump to send troops to Europe to wage this war against Russia.
Putin has told why he ordered his troops to bomb Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Putin dispatched as many as 90 missiles and 100 drones. More than a million Ukrainians were left without power by the bombing. ‘This was a response to the Ukrainian attacks with British and US strikes last week,’ Putin said. He added that Russia is still selecting new targets in Ukraine, which may include decision-making centers in the capital Kiev.
Meanwhile, European leaders are desperate to create World War III as the European Union is in economic trouble. The head of the German secret service, Bruno Kahl, is arguing to invoke Article 5 over any hybrid attack. They can now create a false flag, calling it sabotage to justify triggering Article 5. Handing Ukraine these long-range missiles has shifted the focus inside Russia, and it can no longer be denied that World War III is underway for this is NATO and the USA are in a proxy war with Russia, and they are escalating it rapidly, fearing Trump takes office and then he would be anti-war. It is no joke that even the Greens in Germany are pro-war under the theory that (1) it will destroy the energy production of Russia and (2) reduce the population making Bill Gates, Buffett, and Soros so happy.
Did we get enough to save the planet?
The increase in Russian armed forces means that Putin has been forced to accept that this is World War III, and there will be no peace negotiations before Trump comes to power if they don’t try to assassinate him again. A military confrontation with NATO and the USA is a very possible outcome. Already, they are spinning the Russian Risk of interference in the upcoming German elections. German intelligence chief Bruno Kahl said at an event organized by the international relations think tank DGAP in Berlin that Russia’s hybrid warfare raises the risk that NATO may have to consider triggering the mutual defense clause, Article 5 of the treaty. They want World War III so bad that they can taste the blood.
Putin has been trying to sit on his hands. He knows that a direct confrontation will be devastating to much of the world. He is NOT a warmonger, but those behind him are just as insane as our Neocons and the leader of Europe, who have collectively been drugged, it seems, by NATO. Putin has had no choice but to increase the Russian armed forces as he is compelled to confront that a direct military confrontation with NATO becomes more likely with every passing day.
