“SAD DAY FOR DEMOCRACY” France Just Banned Marine Le Pen from Running for President. And the whole world should be paying attention. A French court has convicted her of embezzlement in a ruling so thin, so politically charged, that it reeks of one thing: LAWFARE. The same playbook being used against Trump in America. Le Pen was the leading candidate for the 2027 election, polling at 37%. She wasn’t just a contender — she was the people’s favorite. And now? Barred from running. Silenced. Removed. Sound familiar? Trump: 91 indictments Bolsonaro: Banned Netanyahu: Under siege Le Pen: Convicted Romania: Elections overturned Wherever the globalist establishment fears losing power… justice becomes a weapon, not a shield. “If this happened in Russia or Turkey, we’d call it a dictatorship.” That’s what French politician Charles-Henri Gallois said. And he’s right. This is no longer about right or left. It’s about whether we the people still get to decide who leads us — or whether unelected elites will decide for us. France today. America tomorrow. Where’s the line? Deja Vu, anyone? Trump’s trials. Le Pen’s ban. Same pattern. Same strategy. Same fear of democracy.

President Trump just called out France for putting Marine Le Pen in jail. “I know all about it… A lot of people thought she wasn’t going to be convicted of anything… She was the leading candidate. That sounds very much like this country.” Emmanuel Macron should be ashamed of himself.

THIS was Marine Le Pen winning her first round as France outright rejected WEF’s Macron. THIS is why they’re banning her from elections and why she’s being sent to Prison.

Iceland volcano eruption looks set to be 'much larger' than previous events, officials warn: Lava bears down on homes as island is hit by 200 earthquakes and civilians are evacuated

Iceland volcano eruption looks set to be 'much larger' than previous events, officials warn: Lava bears down on homes as island is hit by 200 earthquakes and civilians are evacuated

JAMES REYNOLDS

A volcano eruption near a populated area in Iceland could be 'much larger' than previous events, officials warned as defences were quickly overrun this morning.

The Icelandic Civil Defence warned that the eruption on the Sundhnuksgigar Crater Row could continue to swell given the huge amount of magma built up underground.

Astonishing footage seen on afarTV monitoring cameras showed a long curtain of lava fountains spanning the fissure during the dramatic eruption.

Dr Agust Gudmundsson, from the Department of Earth Sciences at Royal Holloway, University of London, told MailOnline that the eruption is expected to be 'bigger than before' as magma has been accumulating underground for several months.

'There was a large volume moving up in the subsurface, indicating there is a lot of magma available... so we expect this to be a bigger one than before,' he said.

While the fissure - so far only around 700 metres long - is still quite small, concern remains for the village at the base of the site.

'The eruption came up relatively far to the south and unfortunately a tiny part of the fissure came up inside, south of the protection barrier,' Dr Gudmundsson explained.

'Lava is, at the moment, flowing towards the town. It has not reached the town.'

The fissure emerged after an 'earthquake swarm' of more than 200 tremors rocked the region, according to the Icelandic Meteorological Office.

'If the fissure propagates further to the south, closer to the town, then of course it would be very, very grave,' Dr Gudmundsson warned. 'But we hope it doesn't go so far.'

Efforts were underway earlier this morning to evacuate the fishing village of Grindavik.

The five-star Blue Lagoon hotel, at the base of the volcano, was evacuated and all guests moved to other hotels as the eruption began.

Helga Árnadóttir, a hotel manager, said guests had to be woken up as soon as it became apparent a 'magma shower' was underway.

Germany's Stern Magazine Calls For Conscription Of Young People To Take Up Arms "To Defend Diversity" In Pro-War Propaganda Piece

Germany's Stern Magazine Calls For Conscription Of Young People To Take Up Arms "To Defend Diversity" In Pro-War Propaganda Piece

Remix News,

Stern Magazine is calling for mass conscription of German youths to join the army, including to ensure the defense of “freedom and diversity.” The reaction to the article has been harsh to say the least, with hundreds of negative comments directed at Stern.

The article, entitled “Others no longer defend us? Then we must do it ourselves!” claims that “the USA no longer wants to protect Germany. This brings a bitter realization: Our unbearable complacency must end.”

The solution? Start drafting German youth to fight the future wars. The author, Tilman Gerwien, a German male noticeable well past the age of someone who might typically be drafted, says that the days of a “dollhouse-like Bullerbü” are over and “we have to grow up.”

 He details the left’s traditional stance against conscription, which saw German youths demanding American troops leave Germany, was “not only a matter of conscience, but also a lifestyle.” He noted that at demonstrations against NATO, “people hopped around in peace-loving spirits, chanting ‘Out of NATO, into fun!'” All of this has to end, according to Gerwien.

There is no way to know if Gerwien was ever a part of these previous protests or ever shared those sentiments at one time, but it is notable that he is now old enough to not have to face the draft himself. Lucky him.

He is a part of the trend of the German establishment left suddenly becoming gung-ho in recent years, especially since Putin invaded Ukraine. The old Green Party ideals of removing NATO from Europe and pursuing an anti-war agenda have been jettisoned. In this sense, much of the establishment left has become outright hawkish. With Trump now in office, the hawkishness from this German establishment has now gone into overdrive, with the Greens joining forces with the CDU to promote a defense-oriented Germany.

Will Germans fight for the “New Germany?”

Of course, the “New Germany” does not exactly have people lining up to fight for it, and that is a real problem for the establishment. Much of the conservative youth no longer see a Germany they would lay down their lives for, and in fact, the “New Germany” openly despises these AfD-voting youths, and maybe even sending them to the front would solve this “problem.”

Meanwhile, the left-wing youth is coddled and mostly pacifist. This “Spiegel/Stern left” may like the idea of soldiers going off to fight on their behalf, but they don’t actually want to do the fighting themselves. The old notions of “honor” and “heroes” have been widely mocked and denigrated by the German elite, which Stern acknowledges,

So, who will fight?

Well, in the end, there doesn’t have to be a “reason” for conscription. Youths in Germany, just as in Ukraine, will be forced to the front for the likes of Stern’s editorial staff when push comes to shove, but it’s a nice thought for these journalists that these youths will at least think they have something worth dying for.

So, what should they die for? Stern addresses this problem, as the very atomized and multicultural society it promotes reduces the will for Germans to die face down in some trench at the frontline.

China Holds Huge Military Drills From 'Multiple Directions' Around Taiwan

China Holds Huge Military Drills From 'Multiple Directions' Around Taiwan

TYLER DURDEN

China on Tuesday launched major combined forces exercises around Taiwan as a "stern warning" in the wake of US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's pledge to counter "China’s aggression" on his first visit to Asia, as well as alleged recent 'separatist' statements by Taiwan President Lai Ching-te.

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) army, navy, air force and rocket force are involved in the drills, which seek to "close in" on the self-ruled island  from "multiple directions" and practice maneuvers including "assault on maritime and ground targets” and “blockade on key areas and sea lanes."

"It is a stern warning and forceful deterrence against ‘Taiwan Independence’ separatist forces, and it is a legitimate and necessary action to safeguard China’s sovereignty and national unity," a PLA Eastern Theater Command statement said.

At least 20 Chinese warships and 50 jets were involved in the drills, the biggest in many months - and since early last year - to which Taiwan's military responded by dispatching its own aircraft and ships, and land-based missile systems on coastal areas.

Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense listed out the following Chinese military weaponry which was moved near Taiwan by early afternoon:

• 71 sorties by military aircraft and drones
• 21 navy ships ranged around the island
• Shandong aircraft spotted about 220 nautical miles east of Taiwan

The Eastern Theatre Command simultaneous to all of this issued a brief video calling Lai a "parasite" in English, also depicting him as a green bug dangled by chopsticks over a burning Taiwan.

Ms. Zhu singled out a speech by Mr. Lai on March 13 in which he described China as a “foreign hostile force” and laid out 17 measures that Mr. Lai said would combat deepening Chinese subversion and spying in Taiwan. 

Those included restoring military tribunals for cases against military personnel who spy and strengthening oversight of cultural, political and religious exchanges with China. Beijing says that Taiwan is its territory, and that it will eventually absorb the island, by force if Chinese leaders deem that necessary.

Taiwan officials have blasted the drills as "reckless" and "irresponsible". Taiwan's military subsequently elevated its readiness level to ensure China does not "turn drills into combat" and "launch a sudden attack on us."

During the kick-off to Hegseth's Asia visit, he hailed Japan in Sunday remarks as an "indispensable partner" in deterring Chinese aggression in the region. He further unveiled an upgrade in the US military command in Japan to a new "war-fighting headquarters".

China's Foreign Ministry in turn on Monday slammed the US’ use of "China threat" rhetoric which is bent on provoking confrontation, but which will end in regional countries being used as "cannon fodder" for US hegemony.

Taiwan’s Presidential Office posted on X that "China’s blatant military provocations not only threaten peace in the Taiwan Strait but also undermine security in the entire region, as evidenced by drills near Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, the Philippines & the SCS. We strongly condemn China’s escalatory behavior."

Germany to target ‘internal EU enemies’

Germany to target ‘internal EU enemies’ – Politico

RT

The incoming German government plans to play a larger role in EU decision-making, including by punishing nations that dissent against the bloc’s foreign policy, Politico has reported. According to the outlet, a draft coalition agreement targets Hungary, which has defied EU decisions on issues such as the Ukraine conflict and sanctions against Russia.

Germany is set to have a new coalition government formed by the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Christian Social Union (CSU), and the Social Democrats (SPD), likely led by Friedrich Merz of the CDU. The parties are currently finalizing agreements on key policy areas, including migration, climate, and EU relations. Merz is reportedly aiming to form the new government before Easter on April 20.

One of the documents reviewed by Politico outlines Berlin’s plans for a more assertive EU strategy. It proposes using the ‘Weimar Triangle’ – a trilateral alliance of Germany, France, and Poland, which currently holds the EU’s rotating presidency – to influence the bloc’s direction and strengthen Germany’s use of its voting rights.

The draft also states that Berlin plans to “defend”the EU against “internal and external enemies” by calling for punitive action against member states that allegedly violate principles such as the rule of law. Proposed penalties include withholding EU funds and suspending voting rights.

“We will take even more consistent action against violations,” the document states. “Existing protective instruments, from infringement proceedings and the withholding of EU funds to the suspension [of] membership rights such as voting rights in the Council of the EU, must be applied much more consistently than before.”

The coalition has also proposed the creation of a “comprehensive sanction instrument” to rein in perceived dissenters, including replacing the EU’s foreign policy unanimity requirement with majority voting to prevent countries from blocking decisions such as sanctions.

“The consensus principle in the European Council must not become a brake on decision-making,” the document states.

While Hungary is not mentioned by name, the draft agreement appears to be a clear reference to the country, which has long been at odds with EU policies, including over its approach to the Ukraine conflict and its sanctions policy towards Russia.

Budapest has argued that sanctions have been detrimental to the bloc’s economy, and has exercised its veto right on several motions to delay or dilute measures. Prime Minister Viktor Orban has repeatedly accused the EU of taking a “pro-war” stance and has pursued independent peace initiatives on the Ukraine conflict.

The EU has previously threatened to suspend Hungary’s voting rights. It withheld around €22 billion in funds earmarked for Budapest in 2022, citing rights and judicial concerns, but ultimately released about half of that amount last year.
