Lagarde & ECB call for reforms of EU. An obvious end run around the current stable of EU Commissioners, their incompetence, ineffectiveness of successive leadership, leadership structures, policies and their corruption, to maintain the technocratic hegemony of the EU finance community methinks. It’s the leadership system and structures, not necessarily the bureaucratic machinery, which is mainly in focus in my honest opinion. .https://x.com/ArmstrongEcon/status/2001433131031646429?s=20 and while it’s great to vent the European Parliament has little power to influence much. https://x.com/TomaszFroelich/status/2001588766746497467?s=20

Love the little newsy articles of recorded political rants in an empty chamber venue. What’s the point of the rant or showing the empty chairs other than to humiliate the citizens that they’re not represented by anyone.

Yep the opposition in EP dissenters are at the minority end of the scale. However, it is important to have the rant anyway so rest or reality see that opposition. Generally it is the habit of political creatures to mostly attend when the leader is present or the party whips are in operation. UK is ramping up rhetoric for war, and this is a debate on militarisation in UK House of commons…you get the picture/ Huge topic No Leader = small attendance. Parliamentlive.tv - BSL - House of Commons What is the realpolitik is that the debates are rubber stamps currently with all of the arrangements agreed outside of the houses of parliament.
… nothing better than a good Elite bum fight.

Last night, EU leaders met in Brussels to discuss how to finance the continuation of the war in Ukraine. A group of Eurocrats loyally oscillating around the Germanic couple Friedrich Merz – Berlin Chancellor, and Ursula von der Leyen – head of the Brussels Commissariat, decided to rely on a proven manual written years ago by the cunning Angela Merkel during this nightly meeting. Its core is the belief that Germanic politicians are physically fitter and mentally much more stubborn than all their European colleagues, which is why, before all the most important nightly meetings at which the Germans want to push through their plans, they serve hard-to-digest Nordic food and schnapps. The goal is to exhaust the physical resistance of other Europeans with a heavy diet, and with schnapps to make them capitulate in the morning and approve the Germanic plans rather than continue to argue furiously with the indomitable Germans in the morning. Before the meeting tonight, Ursula left nothing to chance, and she had already scheduled the first morning meeting for the other European leaders for Thursday, December 18th at 07:30. By around 2:00 this morning, all the European leaders were tired, and capitulated, as Ursula and Friedrich had planned.
It is not surprising that yesterday’s dinner served to the negotiating leaders in Brussels was considered extremely difficult to digest by Danish journalists, even for accustomed Nordics. Extra-calorie Danish fish sandwiches “smørrebrød” were served, and even according to the Danes, these must be washed down with plenty of alcohol. And Danish roast pork tenderloin covered in crispy strips of bacon with baked potatoes and mayonnaise, and they say that this cannot be done without beer. And the highlight was a sweet rice pudding with almonds and marzipan pigs, which according to the Danes cannot be successfully eaten or digested without wine. The Nordics and Germans desperately needed to get the rest of Europe to agree to the continuation of the war in Ukraine and approve its financing last night, so they overwhelmed them with a heavy diet. And some of the overwhelmed were certainly happy to be overwhelmed by this diet, right?
Although the Eurocrats began to trumpet a major victory to the world after 03:00 in the morning, the first Portuguese Antonio Costa at 03:01, (and unsurprisingly, the first Eurocrat who trumpeted the 90 billion EUR agreed for Zelensky’s Kiev corruption clique to the world last night is himself at the center of a huge corruption scandal in Portugal, and had to resign as Prime Minister there and move to Brussels), the resulting agreement this morning is, according to analysts, a major defeat for the Merz and Leyen duo, and will not be enough to finance Ukraine’s war against Russia by any means, and will only plug the black holes in the Ukrainian state budget in 2026-27, (see at 03:20 here).
A small victory was achieved tonight, together, as they had agreed in advance last night, by Orbán, Fico and Babiš. And Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic will ultimately not participate in the joint loan of EUR 90 billion, to which 24 other EU countries committed yesterday. However, since the loan will be a joint EU loan from a legal point of view, it is not yet entirely clear what the meaning and legal consequences of yesterday’s exclusion of these three countries from the entire loan mechanism will be, because this EU loan is nothing more than pouring money into Ukraine for global bankers until the money flows into the EU, causing inflation in Europe, and at the same time, interest payments on the loan will cut further sums from the already stretched EU budget, which will be missing elsewhere. And when the EU has to repay the loan, because Ukraine will never pay it, other Brussels billions will definitely go up in smoke.
No decision was made yesterday about Russia’s frozen billions, so they remain frozen, and the pro-German Eurocrats therefore announced early this morning that the opponents of this robbery will be served even more difficult-to-digest meals at the next EU summit. However, whether worse meals still exist in the German arsenal and will be successful does not seem to be the case, because Orbán, Fico and Babiš were resistant to these eating habits tonight, and achieved a small victory in that our nations will no longer have to feed the Kiev corruptors, like the others, and a big victory in that Russia’s frozen state billions remain frozen, not looted.
The war in Ukraine will therefore end with the power of the Russian army, and not with the power of diplomacy, it seems certain this morning. And the Russian army is in good taste. As both Putin and Gerasimov announced at a command meeting yesterday, Russian troops will go to any lengths necessary to achieve the goals of the Special Operation in Ukraine, and no one will stop them. Last night, while the Eurocrats were eating their cruel Danish food, Odessa experienced another nighttime attack with drones and missiles. (A few videos here.) And if the Ukrainians repaired a transformer station there during the day yesterday, they can do it again during the day today. The week-long continuous attacks on Odessa are already causing the first major protests in the city. (A few videos here.)
How Putin intends to bring the EU to its knees is clear from this video, which captures thousands of Indians reporting to the office in Moscow to be able to work in Russian factories. This year, Putin brought 235,000 immigrants to his factories, 72,000 of them Indians. He plans to bring in even more immigrants and Indians next year. Because in Russia, unlike in the EU, immigrants have to work hard, otherwise the Gosudarstvo secret police will take a close look at them, it is certain that there will be no loss of labor in Russia as a result of the further prolongation of the war in Ukraine.

Also notice the time, 3 a.m. It has been reported by many as exactly the time when evil powers and terrors are used to strike. And if you add the drugs into the mix…
Cocaine is one of the drugs supported by the system, that much is known…no signs of humanity there.

I think everything is going peachy for the bankers. War = poverty = death goes hand in glove. From the perspective that al wars are banker wars, genocide is the top agenda. Europe is on the top of that list to get taken out and have their populations culled beyond recovery. The USA to a lesser degree, but with 800 bases worldwide easy to accomplish lots of body bags. Could Venezuela be another Vietnam as an opening hors-d’œuvre with much more to come? Russia seem willing to play the bankers game and don’t mind a big culling.
Just listen at this ladd, as if psy-ops, brainwashing and bamboozling populations never occured, especially in Russia hey laddy!!!
No, no, no, war is very much the top of the list as a genocide mechanism.

Yes bankers are amoral and only self interested, so they hung tough and were able to have their cake and eat it, by not allowing the confiscation of the Russian assets. But this I believe is simply damage limitation and a avoidance of rush on ECB and related asset holding EU banks. Once they had achieved this they backed out to leave the politicians of which 7 were against the confiscation to their own devices. Once left inside the clutches of the Commission and the president, am sure a number of side deals carrots and sticks were massively applied to individual EU country Presidents/Prime Ministers (IMHO). That is the Hydra that’s sides astride Europe, and possibly in biblical metaphysics " the harlot that rides the beast ". The Irish Prime Minister “Taoiseach” should be pinned during leaders questions in the Dáil. However, even if this is done, he is already on an exit path from his party following a sequence of disasters for which his party know, will wreck them by next election. So in that circumstance, and all the sickening ULVD sycophancy of that last 4 or 5 years or so, I expect him to resign and take up his rewards in the technocracy somewhere, just as his Finance Minister did some weeks back, (by going to work in the IMF), followed 4 weeks later by a 1.3million euro donation. Where we are in the metaphysical timeline, is again strongly indicated by unveiled betrayals of national interests and corruption. However, the bankers will walk away from the pitch leaving no skin behind, for now. I reckon they are also playing for time, and the digital currency/tokening reset.
Unfortunately only Trump and Putin can fully unf^&k this

My point exactly. Not having voted for ADF does not equal being for war! So why push it as such?

They seem keen, Macron is now trying to pivot to peace talks between Putin and Trump. So Merz may find Germany to be exactly that and alone. Couldn’t happen to nicer chap really, though feel sorry for complying Germans,
