Observations From the Back Row

By Rich Kozlovich  

Well, the Wisconsin Supreme Court election has been resolved, the far left radical, Susan Crawford has won, which was characterized with verbiage the outcome would "affect the entire destiny of humanity," because it would impact the outcome of the midterms.  Well, three things.  First, I think that's hyperbole.  Second, Wisconsin has an issue with voter fraud, so the outcome shouldn't be that much of a shocker.  Third, Wisconsin isn't going to carry the the nation or the world anywhere.  

It's clear neither Russia, Ukraine, or the rest of Europe want a peace deal, and there's even been talk if it looks as if Russia starts running over Ukraine, they'll explode their nuclear plants making Ukraine uninhabitable.  Now that's really insane.  

We already know about the corrupt efforts in the US to put Trump in jail to prevent him from running for a second term, and the corrupt judicial coup d’etat’ Democrats are employing to destroy Trump's presidency, and this is clearly a pattern of behavior for leftists/tyrants worldwide.  Lawfare, corruption of the rule of law, and worse against political opponents.  In Russia Putin's rival, Alexei Navalny, was arrested and died in prison, and no one doubts he was murdered.  In Brazil they've arrested Jair Bolsonaro for allegedly plotting a coup and asks, where's my crime? 

Romania arrested Câlin Georgescu, which halted elections because it looked as if he was going to win.  In Turkey the demonstrations are huge, numbering hundreds of thousands, and some are claiming over a million, because Erdogan arrested his opponent, Ekrem Imamoglu, on trumped up charges, and now in France's Le Pen has been found guilty of embezzlement and the court is forbidding her from running in the election.  But this is France, and Le Pen is surging in the polls and she's adamant she will not let the election be ‘stolen’ by judges.

One outrage after another: Europe is lost - From banning Marine Le Pen from the French presidency to negating Romania's election, Europe is a mess.

 Vance Vindicated: Warnings About EU Proven Prophetic After Le Pen Ban - Vice President JD Vance was correct in warning of attacks on democracy and liberty in Europe, supporters claimed, as populist National Rally leader Marine Le Pen was banned from running in the French presidential election..

Democracy Denied - Democracy is imperiled across what used to be known as the Free World. In France, Marine Le Pen, who likely would have won that country’s next presidential election, has been prosecuted and found guilty of embezzlement, and barred from running for office for five years–until after the 2027 presidential election, in other words............In Brazil, former President Jair Bolsonaro is charged with attempting a coup, after some of his supporters “stormed” government buildings following his 2022 re-election defeat. Bolsonaro was out of the country when the alleged “storming” occurred. ............In Germany, the entire political system has been distorted to achieve a single goal: keeping the Alternative For Germany...............

From the beginning of the covid scare I stated it was scare mongering for political purposes, and it wasn't long before we knew these shots were not vaccines, but genetic manipulating chemical compounds that were going to impact humanity negatively for many years to come.  I had said this was our thalidomide era, only much, much worse, and every week more information comes forth to prove that to be true.

The nitwit brigade is ever with us as  Yvette Clarke  Chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus claims Trump and Musk are nuts getting rid of all these amazing people in these agencies since these bureaucrats are efficiency experts!  Remarkable! Well, why were they caught destroying evidence of funding to the Taliban?   Why was the FBI trying to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop scandal?

  1. Department of Education Investigates California for Allowing Schools to Hide Students’ ‘Gender Identity’ from Parents
  2. DOGE Updates Leaderboard Showcasing Savings of $130 Billion
  3. DOGE Leader Speaks Out About Waste, Fraud, and Abuse Musk: Law Says Money Can’t Be Wasted, Has to Be ‘Spent Correctly ‘One Outrageous Thing After Another’
  4. DOGE: Department of Labor Cancels $577 Million in ‘America Last’ Grants Includes Funding for ‘Gender Equity in the Mexican Workplace’
  5. State Department Officially Notifies Congress That USAID Has Been Dissolved
  6. DOL Cancels $577M in Useless Grants…

None of that seems to indicate competence at any level, or perhaps they were just dogging it?  Personally I go for both, incompetence and sloth.  

The real insurrection wasn't January 6th, it's the judicial misconduct that's destroying the rule of law.

“Currently, district court judges have assumed the mantle of Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State, Secretary of Homeland Security and Commander-in-Chief. Each day, they change the foreign policy, economic, staffing and national security policies of the Administration. Each day, the  nation arises to see what the craziest unelected local federal judge has decided the policies of the government of the United States shall be. It is madness. It is lunacy. It is pure lawlessness. It is the gravest assault on democracy. It must end and will end.” —Stephen Miller, U.S. Homeland Security Advisor

Personally, I get a kick out of this.  ICE Walks Into a Boston Courtroom, Arrests an Illegal Alien During His Trial and Hauls Him Away.  Apparently the judge was outraged and found them in contempt, but I doubt if they care, this was a message that needed to be sent.  You can't hide!  We will find you, and we will arrest you!  The secondary message is the courts may make pronouncements, but it's the executive that carries out enforcement.  At some point the judiciary needs to start asking themselves some pertinent questions.

  1. What happens when the executive branch simply starts saying "no" to their pronouncements?  The Pravda media can no longer help them as no one cares what they have to say.
  2. What happens when the Congress starts passing laws to restrict their jurisdiction, which the Constitution gives them the right to do?  
  3. What happens when the public has so little respect for the judiciary they refuse to adhere their pronouncements?  That's the question that should scare everyone. 

Is western civilization on the verge of upheaval and pushback over the insanity the left has imposed on the world?  Lars Møller thinks so saying:

American politics, not to mention European, has long been characterized by leaders who dared not stand up for Western civilization in an unequivocal way. At last, however, Americans may declare to the rest of the world where anti-Western forces are constantly on the lookout for signs of weakness: “You shall know us by our resolve.”

One of the things these demonstrations in Turkey are generating is a serious concern for economic stabilization and Turkey’s foreign relations.  In South East Asia China's sabre rattling conduct is causing kick back from it's neighbors, and that will have a long term negative impact on China in a lot arenas.  As for their military build up and antics around Taiwan.... it just doesn't matter, that's all show and no go.  They they know it, and so to does Taiwan, and they're making sure China keeps understanding it's all for show by adding their first bunch of 66 F-16 fighters to their air force.  Unlike Ukraine, they get it. 
 
Trump's tariffs initially cause a lot of chest thumping haranguing, but everyday the geopolitical sites tell how after their virtue signally, they quietly come to terms, and that will be the story that's going to play out from now on. 
 
Finally, Sen. Cory Booker talked on the Senate floor for over 24 hours because.... he's an idiot.  It was called a hyperbolic, theatrical rant against Trump, but it wasn't a filibusterer, it was a stunt. To do what? Show off?
 
 The end result?  Trump is still President, the Congress is still controlled by the Republicans and no one cared what he had to say.   How do I know?   Can anyone show me one quote the Pravda media feels is so compelling it's repeating it?  The "Democrats are still stuck in the muck, with a toxic brand", and their approval ratings are continuing to drop.  Imagine that!

France, The 2024 Election, and The Collapse.

"The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane."  Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius (121 – 180 C.E.

By Rich Kozlovich

When the last election ended in the EU on June 30, 2024 I made a lot of observations, and predictions, (make sure to follow that link as there's much more there) which included my thoughts on the EU, Germany, the Nordic nations, the UK, and France, and we need to understand, the French will always be French.  France is now and has always been a social nightmare and to understand that, you need to understand Charles de Gaulle, as he epitomizes what it means to be French:  

..........imperious, reserved, and ungracious.... given to “terrifying and unpredictable rages, which were usually sparked by an imagined (or genuine) slight......Hour after hour he ranted against the perfidy of the British....... Gaulle “screamed".....“You tell that old fool Hull from me that he is an asshole, a moron, an idiot. To hell with them. The war will sweep them away and I, France, will remain and I will judge them.”  The fact is DeGaulle once said he didn't care what happened to the allies as long as France remained.  The delusional greatness of France by the French is like a genetic disorder, and it permeates all they say and do.  

 I went on to say:

............let's view French leadership, and the concept of French "harmony", starting with their current President Emmanuel Macron, who is Europe's nightmare.  We find the French chose Le Pen’s Populists over Macron, so in a desperation move Macron decided to dissolve the government and called for fresh elections hoping this election can be overturned by another in a few weeks, which seems unlikely.  His move may actually put the populists in power. And even Former French President Francois Hollande, a totally failed former President, has decided to run from the far left in a new party, New Popular Front.  How far was Macron willing to go to stay in power?  

After America saved Europe from the Nazi's, America was more than willing to save Europeans from starvation and economic disaster with what was called the Marshall Plan. The most singularly beneficent thing that happened to Europe in it's history, and the French were against it, in spite of the fact it put food in the mouths of Europeans.  Why?  Because it demonstrated their dependence, and the rest of the European nations dependence on America, and their second place seating at the world's table. 

Yet the Marshall Plan deliberately avoided trying to make it an "Americanization" of Europe.  As British diplomat Oliver Franks stated:

The Marshall Plan was about putting American dollars in the hands of Europeans to buy the tools for the recovery, the rest, convertible currencies, good labour relations, balanced budgets, and liberalized trade, would depend on the Europeans themselves...

And France was against it, and the French are just like the Bourbon Rulers they threw out after the French Revolution, they learned nothing, forgot nothing, and nothing's changed. Here's my 2022 French election article. The French! With a Sigh!

Now that's turning into a French nightmare, one they earned, and one they deserve with rioting and violence running rampant in France, and the easily predictable results of Macron's attempts at "coalitions", looks like 'coalitions of failure’, with France getting it's fourth government in a year, with it's failure already being predicted, with protesters claiming Macron's schemes deny Democracy, but make no mistake, France is a mess, and Macron is a mess!  Nothing's changed.

Macron is dancing with the Devil, and when you dance with the Devil you don’t choose the dance, you don’t call the tune, you don’t lead, and you may not be able to leave the dance floor. He’s so far over his head he’s going to drown in his selfish arrogance and stupidity.

France has always been a social nightmare and while I’m only a bit surprised, I’m not shocked… since the French are so…..French!   So, any willingness on their part to “take a hard look at themselves” seems unlikely.  Culture is king, and we’re not seeing anything different now than what happened between the Girondins the more radical Jacobins after the French revolution, except they’re not cutting off anyone’s head. Yet!

But France is in deep trouble, and is becoming substantially unsafe for one specific ethnic group, France's Jews.  I tell you what, we'll come back to that, and truthfully, I’m not going to be surprised if this kind of insanity keeps playing out in Western Europe.

Voters who have been lied to, Hell Hath No Fury Like A Voter Scorned, well, maybe in America, but voters in France and the UK just embraced even worse liars and nitwits than they threw out.  Having said that…. I hope everyone keeps watching that play out. Their chosen nitwits are going to drive France into a chaotic ditch, and then we’ll see they’ve been a disaster for humanity since the French Revolution, and now finally, more people are becoming aware.....their monopoly on being wrong and disastrous..... is as solid as the Himalayas.

Now, let's clarify this whole bit about France being taken over by the "right".  There is no "right" in France as we understand it in America.  The budget offered raised taxes, and cut spending.  Well, anyone can understand being against taxes, but why be against cutting spending?  Because the French people have been wrapped in a delusionally socialist world, and they demand socialist answers to all their problems, and will not tolerate anything that cuts into their feeding at the government trough.  Welcome to the world of bankruptcy.

It still comes down to this.  Forget the rhetoric, forget the mind numbing clabber from the media.  It's all about definition, and every politician in France is a socialist of one stripe or other, and socialists will always be socialists.  They all believe they have a right to steal your money, your freedom, your land, your children, and turn everyone into slaves to the state with a handful of elites telling everyone how to live and what to do.   The varying degrees and the details of how and when are immaterial.

 The Barbarians are at the Gate with Lars Møller saying:

While the Visigoths and Franks fought for everything they held dear when they were attacked by the Moors, the French of today have already given up the fight for freedom and resigned themselves to a self-inflicted destiny as dhimmis.

Everything's Fine Until the Bombs Go Off:

Last month, French President Francois Hollande ridiculed the idea that the massive numbers of Muslim migrants entering his country were any kind of threat. “Those who argue that we are being invaded are manipulators and falsifiers, who do this only for political reasons, to scare,” the left-wing politician huffed. 

And then the pudgy little Socialist had to be rapidly evacuated from France’s national soccer stadium after one of those refugees blew himself up trying to reach Monsieur le Président, and Merkel’s Foreign Minister, Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Minister Steinmeier had urged rejecting “barriers, fences” when it came to the Muslim migrants, but it was a barrier and the security in front of it that kept one of his beloved refugees from reaching him............

Communists and Islamists Take France In the UK the Labour party claimed they cleaned up their act and were no longer Marxists, and Jihadists, but that was a lie, which soon became clear, the French didn't bother pretending they were anything but far left misfits and supporters of Islam, Jihad never sleeps, nor does willful blindness, and again, in France, there is no "right", in France, it’s Left vs. Left:

"Don’t be deceived: there is no such thing as ‘the right’ meaningfully vying for power in France".   

France is at a crossroads, facing reality versus delusion, and that reality is France is toast, and the US is never going to agree to an International Tax System to bail them out, as for France's Jews, it's time to run, now!  (More here, and here.)

The Agenda!

By Rich Kozlovich 

The Paris Olympics has been a disaster starting with the opening anti-Christian, anti-western civilization ceremonies profaning the Last Supper, and claiming the offensive Olympics 'Last Supper' mockery was merely homage to Greek gods, and their goal was to achieve "Community Tolerance".  

Later claiming no one should be offended as no disrespect was intended, and Dr. Jill thought it was ‘Spectacular', and Mitt Romney praised it as “imaginative, inventive and memorable”, the Pope was silent for ten days, and then he was "saddened", and none of that triggered riots for blasphemy. Imagine that.  

As Dennis Prager observes,  You Don’t Have to Be Christian to Loathe the Opening of the Paris Olympics.  

"I am a Jew, not a Christian. Yet I found loathsome the mockery of the Last Supper — one of the holiest scenes in the New Testament — during the opening of the 2024 Olympics in Paris. In fact, it is actually troubling to constantly read the words, “Many Christians are offended” — as if only Christians are offended by France’s and the International Olympic Committee’s mockery of Jesus’ Last Supper scene.  Indeed, if only Christians were offended, there is little hope for civilization."

But that bring us to what was supposed to be the real reason for the Olympics, the athletes, and the competition  watching the greatest athletes in the world perform at the highest level possible.  The sports!  And what are we seeing?  The same irrationality at play.  We're seeing men who claim to be women who are allowed to compete with actual women, and they're beating them.   As one woman boxer stated she'd never been "hit so hard in my life".  And both of them are going to get the gold in their respective divisions.  It's a disgrace.

  • Watch: UFC Champ Goes Scorched Earth on Boxer Who Brutalized Female Opponent - 'Such an Utter Disgrace' - The 2024 Paris Olympics continue to be a source of controversy due to Thursday’s events, which featured a women’s boxing match between Algeria’s Imane Khelif and Italy’s Angela Carini. In response many in the sports world spoke out, condemning Khelif’s ability to box Carini — including former UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland, who took to X to vent his rage. Where is the controversy over Khelif’s boxing Carini coming from?.......
  • Gender Madness Leads to Battering Women Cheater Steals Glory - Algerian Olympic “female” boxer Imane Khelif is not female, according to the International Boxing Association (IBA). Khelif has male biological characteristics and elevated levels of testosterone and XY chromosomes, and, if you believe in science, the XY chromosomes mark the end of the argument. And, now, to the eternal shame of the Olympics, Khelif was allowed to compete against a woman in the boxing competition, which is not only insane, it is an outright act of cruelty......
  • Punch girl win fight -  Once upon a time, a man who hit a girl like that was arrested and probably thrown in jail. Today, he gets to win a boxing match. Where we do go from here? In the short run, these fights will continue. In the long run, maybe watching this travesty will remind people that men and women are different. Maybe watching a girl boxer quit after 46 seconds will drive home the point that this was not a fair fight.......
  • Fighter Alleged to Have Male Chromosomes Set to Face Hungarian Anna Luca Hamori After Italian Opponent Only Lasted 46 Seconds - Imane Khelif’s first female opponent only lasted 46 seconds into the first round. We don’t know how long her next opponent will last, but we know who she will face. Khelif, the fighter who failed the International Boxing Association’s (IBA) gender eligibility test in 2023 and is yet allowed to compete against females in the 2024 Paris Olympics, will go head-to-head with Hungary’s Anna Luca Hamori........

 ,,

But it turns out, according to the IOC, it's not these women who are being beaten, and badly, who are being abused.  No, it's these male boxers pretending to be women are the ones who've beeing abused.  And you're shocked?  Right? 

There's an agenda at play here, and it's a destructive globalist agenda being promoted worldwide. It's goal is the destruction of western civilization and the Judaic/Christian values that are foundational to that civilization.  Destroy a culture's foundation social paradigms, and the entire structure will collapse.   

France and much of Europe is already there, rotting in a sewer of their own making, the contaminating filth they found in the Seine River is illustrative for what's happening in all of western Europe.  

Europe as a representative of western civilization is doomed, and nothing will save it, culturally, socially, economically, or demographically. Europe is headed into another Dark Age,  and we need to pick up our marbles and go home.  

Why is that so hard to get?

Climate Change Alarmism Is the World's Leading Cause of Hot Gas

David Harsanyi Dec 07, 2018

Even as anti-gas tax riots raged in France this week, naturalist David Attenborough warned a crowd at a United Nations climate change summit in Poland that "the collapse of our civilizations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon." U.N. General Assembly President Maria Espinosa told the media that "mankind" is "in danger of disappearing" if climate change is allowed to progress at its current rate.

Speakers, who flew in to swap doomsday stories, advocated radical changes to avoid this imminent environmental apocalypse. These days, "the point of no return" is almost always in view yet always just out of reach.

Sorry, but by now, this rhetoric is familiar. You can go back to 1970, when Harvard biologist George Wald, riding a wave of popular environmental panic during the decade, estimated, "Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.".........To Read More.....
