The doctor entered the exam room with the darkest of looks on his face. "It’s not good," he said to Europe. "The tests show you were poisoned eight months ago. It’s unlikely you will survive to see summer."
Europe has been murdered.
Europe, the continent, is coming to this grim realization as the days get colder and energy prices become unaffordable.
Beginning last March, European leaders began a sanctions regime against Russia for its brutal invasion of Ukraine. As the warm spring temperatures pushed winter’s cold to a distant memory, European Commission President, Ursula Van Der Leyen, bravely announced that Europe would remove two thirds of its dependency on Russian energy.
Ursula’s cadre of officials fell in line throughout the summer, piling on more sanctions despite skyrocketing energy prices and the brutal reality that the coming winter would be untenable.
German Foreign Minister, Annalena Baerbock, a Green Party member, sent a shockwave to her constituents when she said: "If I give the promise to people in Ukraine — 'We stand with you, as long as you need us' — then I want to deliver. No matter what my German voters think, but I want to deliver to the people of Ukraine…"
No matter what German voters think?
Thousands of them frequent Berlin regularly to protest the hardships they have been welded to.
It’s not just heat and food that they will see less of.
German factories are cutting back on hours and production. Mass layoffs are on the way.
And so it goes across Europe, in one form or another.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen as well as the "geniuses" in Brussels now believe price caps will win the day.
If only they studied historic examples of this approach.
A strategy which will only guarantee shortages and the resultant hardships.
Pop quiz: The EU says we will only purchase oil at $70 per barrel and Peru will give you $100 . . . and you sell the oil to?
Let’s add some variables:
- Nord Stream blows up.
- Queen Ursula shuts down whatever she can of the southern Turk Stream pipeline (Russian Gas) and all the while she and her climate cultist, European leaders have attacked their farmers, citing the extreme dangers that fertilizer causes the environment.
Note to Europeans, not eating has also been proven to be bad for one’s health.
All signs of the lethal injection courtesy of the globalists.
Europe is threatened with nuclear war, cold, famine, and de-industrialization.
With the timely Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) — news flash: it does the exact opposite! — many European companies, hammered by the EU’s teaching Putin a lesson, are planning to increase operations in the U.S. to chase their share of the slush fund that we Americans didn’t have to spend, nor our great grandkids for that matter.
Let’s not forget Jerome Powell’s solutions to save the day.
Crushing the U.S. economy and raising the value of the dollar to all-time highs may be painful medicine here but for Europe it is bone-breaking, as they need to buy American gas and oil with costly greenbacks.
So, who killed Europe?
The media’s popular fall guy for taking down Europe is the all too obvious, Vladimir Putin.
Afterall, his illegal invasion and crimes against humanity seem to be the root cause.
Or perhaps, Ursula and her Euro cronies administered the lethal dose when they, in essence, sanctioned the citizens of Europe to show Russia their war would not stand.
Maybe the Biden administration will be identified as the murderer with its policies that undermine with an obstinate refusal to back stop Europe’s gapped energy needs.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s infamous summation of the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage as a "tremendous opportunity" had to sound like "let them eat cake" to the Europeans.
In actuality, many of the West’s leaders are merely accomplices to a higher authority.
These disastrous policies across Europe and North America have little regard for their citizens. As prosperity falls in the western world and the threats of World War III increase, the people have seen their liberties diminish as well.
Climate change becomes the reason for every move.
Every year these seemingly corruptible politicians, central bankers, mega-corporations, billionaires and think tank neophytes meet under the World Economic Forum (WEF) banner in Davos, Switzerland to pursue their stated goals of fighting CO2, encouraging depopulation, and moving to one-world governance.
While they eat Wagyu, they want the people, to eat Bill Gates' fake meat.
Has Europe been sacrificed?
Klaus Schwab economist, engineer, and founder of the WEF (and his disciples) wield massive, unearned power and could care less whether we approve or not of their vision quest for world domination.
The accomplices identified herein are simply loyal foot soldiers in his WEF army.
The elites are prepared for Europe’s funeral, with stockpiled billions, jets, personal security, multiple residences, and safe havens globally.
Will we learn from Europe’s demise?
Prosperous and free peoples insisting on self-governance are an impediment to Schwab and his WEF schemes. We must not think that Europe’s problems are not our own — this disaster could be coming to our backdoor — very soon
We must ponder if we are ready to defend our constitutional right to remain free?
