The EU Is Afraid

Something in the X algorithm shifted over Christmas. I don’t know what happened, but now my feed is flooded with pro-EU posters, instead of the traditional stream of other authors and writers. Since I largely use X for promoting my novels and only occasionally the films, I trade a lot of followings with other writers, even when I don’t agree with their politics.

I’ve never seen most of these posters on X before, they came out of the woodwork, as if I’ve been suddenly targeted, but I have no way of knowing how that would happen unless internally, leftists within the X organization, flipped some switches. What I discovered, though, was confirming my every bias when it comes to the EU.

Somewhere in the mists of self-delusion these EU posters believe they can shuck the US and win a ground war against Russia. They thirst for it. They seem to think they run NATO and therefore have control of the US military while denigrating the US. A lot of EU nations and NATO nations are the same ones, but they have a very limited understanding of military competence and weapons systems. All they have to do, in their minds, is distance themselves from the US and with the military expertise of Ukraine, attack and annihilate Russia, assuming it remains a conventional war.

There are people much better at evaluating both military competence and effective weapons systems, like Buppert at Chasing Ghosts Podcast or Murray at The Path Forward, but my evaluation of the EU and member states is that they might be good support nations for the US, but have only limited capacity and technological ability outside of a US-led NATO.

It all smacks of EU insecurity. The language, the terms they use, are all hype and bluster. They think they can overcome the cultural instability they themselves have created with open borders by putting up a delusionary rant about the peacefulness and harmony exhibited within the EU nations compared to the gun-toting hostility of the US. They have a fundamental misunderstanding of almost everything and yet are bold and direct in exhibiting those flaws.

It’s a childish vision of the world they exhibit, one where if all the guns are removed, there will be no violence. When that fails, they turn to knives, if they can just get rid of the knives, there will be no violence, then hammers and finally anything that can be used as a garrote. All the while, they fail to recognize, because they are responsible for it, that it’s the people they themselves have allowed to inhabit their once peaceful nations that are causing the crime rates to explode.

We see it all the time, even in the US, crimes that go unreported, or uncharged, or unprosecuted in an attempt to keep the truth from being evident. Violent people of poor character cause violence. Violent people of good character stop violence. I am inherently violent, but I’ve always tried to use that violence to prevent injustice. Violent people, themselves, are not bad, it depends, as everything, on the application and reason behind the violence. The only thing that stops violence against the innocent is violence against the offender. That has never and will never change.

But then, we live in a world of self-delusion spurred on and encouraged by social media and the proponents of insanity that might very well be some AI-generated bot. Truth and fact have been annihilated. I don’t even know to what degree my thoughts have been driven by fallacy. I try to make sure that whatever I say is true, but I don’t know.

That’s one of the frustrating facts of life, today, and it will get worse from here on out. One must work hard to pick out the right source of facts. Anything represented today: statistics, history and economics could be fake, the truth bent to one side or the other, building on each other’s lies to create a favorable picture of themselves to present to the world.

One finds themselves more and more saying: “I don’t know if that’s true.” It’s like believing that whatever one can conceive can be made true. While that’s a good motivating maxim, it lacks one caveat: with hard work. Today, that’s all done through convincing other people that it’s true, whether that’s a fact or not. That’s the very definition of propaganda.

There is no news, only propaganda. There is no truth, only facts. And the world suffers as whole populations are led into hell singing the song taught to them by propagandists. That’s how the right sees the left and the left sees the right.

What is becoming clear is that the EU is so desperate to remain relative against the rebellion of Central and Eastern European states (highlighted in Deconstruction) that it has flooded X with pro-EU propaganda. Most of the time, it isn’t what’s being shown that’s relevant, but the reasons behind what is being shown. That’s a whole other level of discernment that needs to take place. This is why more and more people are finding podcasts from people they trust to give them at least some of the facts.

The work that needs to be done is making sure that when this time of ultimate manipulation finally comes to an end, that it’s on the side of the disclosures, not a function of no further need to manipulate the message.

AI has a role to play in which way this turns out. It could expose the lies through pure reason, or it could make discovering the truth impossible with a greater degree of credibility than the mainstream media can muster. There are youngsters today who won’t believe anything unless it comes from AI. That’s a battle that must be waged today, but I doubt that the owners, the globalist billionaires both now and in the future, will ever let that happen.

Then, we have to decide if humans have the common sense to end AI at all costs, and I mean ALL costs. The next question is whether humanity is worth saving at all costs. Perhaps, this little blip of freedom between the Magna Carta and today is just an aberration and we were lucky to have seen a glimpse of it.
