To talk about the decline of Europe, we need to start once again with the video of Andrey Martyanov that I posted yesterday: Europe is Finished But in reality it goes far beyond that.
From derelict democratic institutions which give Europeans a mix of sold out representation and populists to mere social "exhaustion", what we are currently witnessing is a continent lost for ideas and direction.
Crushed on the industrial front by China to the point that German auto manufacturers must return to military hardware to avoid competition and survive.
Dominated financially by the US which uses the City of London as an official offshore center for the Euro Dollar market. (On this subject, it is worth remembering that the "Square Mile" is a self administered entity NOT subject to British law.)
Destroyed militarily by Russia on the Ukrainian Eastern front where European technology and mercenaries are being wiped out.
Swamped demographically by Africa where it is actually surprising that misguided policies have not already attracted far more people than the few tens of thousands below in Ceuta.
"Enjoying" a reverse blow back from the Crusades where the Muslim faith replaces decaying Christianity and its abandoned churches with brand new mosques filled to the brim.
Wherever you look, the picture is grim. British towns are now mostly Muslim to the point that Netanyahu recently joked that the UK will be the first Nuclear Muslim country. Strange that he forgot Pakistan. Doesn't fit with the "Iran" narrative?
The German economy is dying in front of our eyes thank to horribly misguided "green" policies from which the country will probably never recover.
Let's not talk about France which is spending Euros with abandon and will probably break in 2026 its own annual deficit record of 8% of the Government budget.
Still wondering why people have no children beyond the fact that they can't afford them anymore? What kind of a future could there be in such an environment? In France only 10% of the people believe the country is going in the right direction. You wonder what these 10% are smoking. Must be potent!
In 2008 we already knew that the financial system was facing a reckoning. Since the debt has exploded and most countries engineered a lock-down in 2020 for which a generation of young people will pay dearly.
Can Europe exit this sinister spiral which is accelerating year after year and more and more resemble a deadly flight corkscrew? Or as Trump is showing us, is doubling down the only policy left once you're deep enough into sh!t that any other option becomes unworkable? What is certain is that the coming months will be extremely tense and eventful for the world in general but for Europe in particular.

Weaponized Migrant Flows: Spain's Ceuta Border Under Attack (Again)
Multiple open-source reports indicate that thousands of illegal aliens are massing near Spain's Ceuta border, raising the prospect of coordinated attempts to breach the enclave for the second time.
If verified, the invasion attempt comes just weeks after the first round, in which more than 60,000 military-aged men attempted to breach the border. This only suggests that migrant flows are being deliberately weaponized to pressure the socialist government in Madrid, potentially marking a second phase of sustained border destabilization.
Official reporting from news outlet France 24 says:
Morocco has deployed heavy security around the border city of Fnideq after false social media rumours claimed the border to Spain's Ceuta enclave would open. Hundreds of migrants, mostly from sub-Saharan Africa, have gathered nearby, raising fears of another mass crossing just weeks after tens of thousands attempted to enter the Spanish territory.
Paris-based, state-owned RFI (Radio France Internationale) says:
Scores of would-be migrants, most of them from sub-Saharan Africa, were intercepted in northern Morocco near the border with the Spanish exclave of Ceuta on Saturday, two weeks after tens of thousands of people attempted to enter the territory.
Publicly available footage in the social media domain, most of which was posted on X from late Saturday into early Sunday, shows what appear to be swarms of illegal aliens trying to breach the Ceuta border.
Let's circle back to our briefing on Aug. 5, or about 11 days ago, that pointed to new signals that a second round of weaponized migrant flows would be heading to the Ceuta border by mid-month:
Earlier, we commented on the deteriorating conditions in Ceuta as it faces a public health disaster posed by the military-aged invaders.
A doctor in Ceuta told the media: "I don't know what diseases I'm bringing home. I can't even take my dog for a walk. Every day we receive reports of girls who have been raped."
We suspect Italy's Schengen suspension with Spain will remain until security risks disappear. EU leaders have warned these migrant flows are part of 'Hybrid Warfare' ...

Spain's Vox Party Demands Morocco Pay For Migration Crisis As Ceuta Faces Public Health Disaster
A massive influx of migrants into Spain's Ceuta has pushed the autonomous city's healthcare infrastructure to the brink of collapse, prompting urgent warnings from medical professionals and triggering a fierce political battle in Madrid over who should foot the bill.
With an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 migrants still remaining in an enclave of just 80,000 residents and 19 square kilometers, local resources are severely overstretched, leaving health services struggling to contain potential infectious disease outbreaks.
These health services are also dealing with cases of rape, physical assaults, and other injuries associated with the massive influx of migrants. Meanwhile, locals say the beaches are occupied by migrants, leading to sprawling tent camps, feces, urine, and the spread of infectious diseases during a critical holiday beach season.
Medical staff on the front lines describe a system operating under extreme uncertainty. At Ceuta University Hospital, officials have opened a specialized 30-bed emergency wing intended for disaster scenarios. Many of these beds are occupied not out of acute medical necessity, but because doctors cannot safely release vulnerable patients onto the streets. As sources at the facility explained, "admission responds to the impossibility of discharging patients and sending them back to the streets."
The pressure extends far beyond hospital walls into improvised encampments, such as the one at Trampolín beach. Julián Domínguez, president of the Association for the Defense of Public Health of Ceuta, highlighted the immense logistical challenge of providing street-level care to thousands of unsheltered people.
"The lack of hygienic spaces and isolation areas makes monitoring and controlling communicable conditions particularly difficult," he said.
Medical personnel are already identifying cases of concern, including scabies, tuberculosis, and unexplained fevers. Speaking on the news program En boca de todos, a Ceuta emergency physician warned that conditions are rapidly shifting:
"Scabies is not a disease that has been eradicated, but there were very few cases, which are currently increasing," said the doctor.
Addressing the risk of other contagious illnesses, the doctor added: "There are still patients with tuberculosis from time to time, but we really don't know if there will be many more with the massive entry of immigrants to Ceuta… We are having fever infections without focus, many immigrant patients who do not know exactly what the cause of the infection."
Vox party demands Morocco foot the bill
The escalating medical emergency has sparked a fierce response from the anti-immigration Vox party. The party, led by Santiago Abascal, registered initiatives in Congress demanding that the Spanish government guarantee the operational capacity of the National Institute of Health Management (INGESA) and take decisive legal steps against Morocco.
Vox argues that Spanish citizens should not carry the financial burden of what it terms a "migratory invasion," insisting that Morocco must pay for the consequences that "its act of aggression has caused Spain."
In its congressional filings, Vox demanded that the central government "conduct a rigorous audit of all expenses arising from the crisis and subsequently demand your refund from Morocco."
The proposed audit would cover all extraordinary expenditures, including security deployments by the Armed Forces, National Police, and Civil Guard; emergency rescue operations; direct healthcare and pharmaceutical costs; temporary housing; and infrastructure damage.
Echoing warnings from the Official College of Physicians of Ceuta, which characterized the situation as a "healthcare catastrophe," Vox pointed to documented cases of tuberculosis as evidence that recent events "put the public health of Ceuta residents at risk."
To resolve the staffing shortages hindering the medical response, Vox called for the immediate application of incentives for health personnel positions in Ceuta and Melilla that are notoriously difficult to cover. Above all, the party insists on diplomatic and economic pressure to ensure Rabat reimburses all accrued costs, "preventing the economic consequences of a massive and illegal entry from falling on Spanish taxpayers."
Meanwhile, local residents of Ceuta have taken measures into their own hands, hosting a massive rally on Aug. 9. Under the slogan "Enough is enough. Ceuta will not give in," protesters organized by religious communities and neighborhood associations brought together thousands of people to demand action against the mass arrival of migrants on July 30. The organizers put the turnout at over 10,000 people.
