The sudden arrival of nearly 50,000 young men in one day into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta (surrounded by Morocco) is not ‘migration’. It is an invasion. Anyone who has seen the videos can see that. Less dramatic but larger in overall numbers, because these flows are continuous and have been for decades, are the numbers arriving in Britain having crossed the English Channel in dinghies: 1,461 migrants landed in Britain in the last week of July 2026 alone. The numbers of arrivals in Italy, meanwhile, are still running at thousands every month (2,758 in June). As John Laughland pointed out in Oslo last month, this invasion is an industry. When countries are invaded, as they are being because these people arrival illegally, they need to defend themselves by sending them back. Remigration Now!
John Laughland, director of FVD International, was again a guest on Stanislav Krapivnik’s ‘In the Eyes of Truth’ podcast this week. Stanislav was born in Donetsk and grew up in the USA but John was the interviewee this time: they mainly discussed Britain. John emphasised that the recent change of prime minister in Britain (Burnham is the 7th prime minister in 10 years) shows how ‘the system’ can re-generate itself and fight back against popular discontent. Starmer was ditched because he was such an appalling communicator - and dishonest to boot. The last straw in his unhappy premiership came when his Defence Minister resigned because there was not enough money for the war in Ukraine and rearmament. Now that former Defence Minister, John Healey, is Chancellor of the Exchequer – i.e. he controls the country’s finances. A schmoozy cheesy communicator has been parachuted in from Manchester to front the whole operation but it is, in reality, nothing but a coup by the Deep State.

The invasion of Europe is now obvious. But originally it was packaged differently – as asylum. People were allegedly fleeing war and needed to be welcomed, as they have been for decades now by the immigrationist lobby. The image of the ‘Trojan horse’, by which Greeks invaded Troy on the basis of a ruse, is well known and has been given new life by Christopher Nolan’s film of The Odyssey. Thierry Baudet has jotted down some preliminary thoughts about this film, which has several lessons to teach us about the foundation and destruction of civilisations.

The German scholar Hauke Ritz was our guest on The Forum this week. Hauke Ritz runs a podcast with our other Forum guest, Ulrike Guérot, and the focus of our talk this week was his book which our other friend, Thomas Fazi, has just published in Italian translation. (It’s a small world, especially at the top.). The Italian title of the book, ‘Why the West hates Russia’ is more direct than the German title, ‘From the Decline of the West to the Reinvention of Europe’. Ritz’ central claim is that ‘the West’ means one thing and ‘Europe’ another. ‘The West’, in its present iteration, is simply where American troops are: West Germany but not East Germany, South Korea but not North Korea. It is an American vision of Europe, based on the American-inspired kitchy imitation of the USA which is the European Union. This division of the world – still, thirty years after the end of the Cold War! – into mutually hostile camps is particularly painful for Germany because Russians are one of the very few peoples in Europe (the only one?) who actually like the Germans. Germany and Russia go back a long way and are linked by mutual friendship and mutual interest. For as long as ‘the West’ dominates Europe, Europe can never be its true self.
