The Center Cannot Hold
Until Joe Biden took the stage in last week’s debate with Donald Trump, the most catastrophically stupid presidential political decision of the year was Emmanuel Macron’s calling a snap election after the National Rally’s impressive showing in European parliamentary elections. After events over the past few days, it is still uncertain as to which blunder will have been the most consequential. Whatever the outcome, we are all watching corrupt systems collapse in real time. Amid this apocalypse—literally, an unveiling—we are seeing a kind of Reformation, the messy birth of a new order.
This is more the case in France than in the United States. The strong National Rally results in Sunday’s first round of voting occasioned an outpouring on France’s streets that could have been scripted by Camp of the Saints author Jean Raspail.
In some French cities, Antifa and other leftist protesters set fires to express outrage at the results. In Paris, thousands of Islamists and leftists rallied against the ‘far right.’ Look at this clip captured by Luc Auffret. In this vast left-wing crowd, some protesters have raised various standards—the flag of Palestine, the flag of Pride, and so forth—but notice: you cannot see a single French tricolor there.
Compare this to the image from a National Rally victory party on Sunday. Thousands upon thousands of French voters waving the tricolor, and singing the Marseillaise.
What does the contrast tell you? It hardly needs elaboration, does it? Among other things, it is visual confirmation that le Grand Remplacement is no conspiracy theory, but established fact. Renaud Camus defines the Great Replacement as “the change of people, the substitution of one or several peoples for the people whose ancestral roots are there, whose history had for hundreds or thousands of years coincided with the territory in question.” All those native Frenchmen in that leftist mob, the ethnically Gallic too ashamed of France to raise her flag, demonstrate that the Great Replacement is also a state of mind.
France is now in the middle of a fight for its future as a nation. France’s enemies are the Frenchmen who hate her, and the aliens they have brought in to replace the French who resist. This could not possibly be clearer now. Until Sunday, France’s enemies also included the elite establishmentarians of both Left and Right who facilitated le Grand Remplacement, and who counted on the French public’s fear of Vichy to blind them to the emerging reality.
Well. Thanks to Macron’s folly, and to the subsequent Sunday vote, his centrist party has been effectively demolished. True, France now faces a genuinely frightening future of left-right conflict that, owing to the Left’s radicalism and willingness to use violence, could finally mean the advent of the civil war that the French have long feared. Note well that the elites in politics and journalism have for ages warned that the far right is a threat to democracy. But who smashed windows and set fires to protest the results of Sunday’s democratic vote? Not Marine Le Pen’s crowd.
This is the truth that France’s establishment spent decades attempting not to see, and working hard to ensure that no French voter ever saw either. In a 2014 speech before a Paris court, in which he was on trial for inciting racial hatred, Rénaud Camus said that, in fact, the stubborn refusal of France’s leadership class to see what they were doing to the country with their idiotic migration policies was going to bring violence. It is worth quoting at length from that address (which appears in English in the recently published Enemy Of The Disaster, a compilation of Camus’s political speeches); in his work, Camus uses the neologism “nocence” to mean “harm”:
Far from calling for violence, but trying on the contrary to avoid it, to drive it away from us, I tirelessly denounce reckless policies—or perhaps policies that are only too aware of what they are doing—these friends of the disaster, these harbingers of misfortune, that day after day create the strict conditions for conflict, tension, animosity, and uncontrollable nocence. It is an ex-Yugoslavia that they are blithely preparing for France and for Europe—a Sudan, a Mali, a Central African Republic, a generalized Lebanon.
Indeed, we are alas no longer talking about the simple conditions for future violence; for ages now, we have been watching it quietly set up shop, as it were, in our lives. It is not as a prophet that I speak of this but as a chronicler and almost an historian. For the disorders that it brings in its wake are not just a matter for the future; they are already at work among us, as witnessed by the growing brutality of social relations, the unprecedented and sadly justifiable distrust between citizens, rising insecurity, and the worsening of major and minor crime alike.
It is absurd to reduce, as it is commonly done, these phenomena to an inexplicable accumulation of random events, a matter for law enforcement or the courts, police intervention or the penal code. This violence and these disorders are not simply a matter for the police, nor even for the criminal justice system. They are matters of policy and of history, of the history of peoples, the relationships between civilizations, the disappearance of some of them, the conquering activities of others, of the collapse or preservation of nations.
Sunday’s vote, and undoubtedly the second-round voting on July 7th, confirm that most Frenchmen choose to believe their own eyes over the official lies and harassment by the establishment. Do not expect France’s journalists, academics, and other professional experts to comprehend what has happened, much less to explain it accurately and dispassionately. They have built their entire careers and indeed their very being as intellectuals on a set of liberal, globalist lies that require denial of facts and demonization of dissenters. Now it is all falling down around them.
Meanwhile, across the ocean, the Democratic political class—journalists among them, of course—professes to be shocked by senile Joe Biden’s pathetic debate performance last week. It is high comedy to watch pundits and commentators express astonishment that the elderly president could barely string sentences together. Had they not been told by the White House that Biden was mentally sharp?
Yes, they were—but only those determined to be fooled could possibly have believed it. If you were a reader of right-wing media, or at least subscribed to Twitter/X, you have known for a very long time that Biden is an ambulatory eggplant. It was obvious, in the many clips of his stumbling, his verbal tangles, his attempts to shake hands with people who were not present, and so forth. The journalists and party allies who now voice shock and horror at the president’s condition only have themselves to blame.
Why did they believe an obvious lie for so long? The answer can only be because it served their political interests—specifically, keeping Donald Trump out of the White House. It is not particularly interesting to contemplate those who knew it was a lie, but who voiced it for cynical political reasons. Far more intriguing are those who sincerely believed Biden was basically fine, and who demonized anyone in the media and on the Left who said otherwise.
Now Democrats face a catastrophe. If Biden chooses not to withdraw, he will likely be humiliated by a Trump landslide. If he does withdraw, or is somehow forced off the ticket, the party will be faced with the Kamala Harris problem. What do you do with a presidential candidate who is widely disliked and mocked as a lightweight chosen by Biden only because she is a black woman—and who will be beaten badly by Trump?
If the Democrats dump Biden but also sideline Harris, the party will fracture around the outrage of its black and female activist constituency. Democrats are now having to live with the consequences of their reality-denying lies about diversity, equity, and inclusion. Democratic strategist James Carville, the 79-year-old Clinton-era warhorse, has been warning for some time now that Democrats are out of touch with ordinary Americans, and too bound to the illusions and rhetoric of coastal elites. Now Carville’s party is living with the ruinous consequences of its folly.
The tectonic political shift happening in the U.S. is not as threatening to civil order as France’s earthquake, but make no mistake: across the West, this is the end of an era. It matters immensely that the National Rally is now the most popular party in France, and that AfD is the second party of Germany. These are the core states of the European Union.
Plus, unlike in the Anglosphere, most young voters favor the hard-right parties, not the left-wing ones. The bullying they experience on the subways from migrants moves them more than the bullying they receive from establishment bien-pensants on television shows.
That said, all of this makes a stunning contrast to what will happen in Great Britain this week. On July 4, UK voters are going to give the governing Conservative Party a staggering defeat, perhaps even worse than the Tories’ humiliation by Tony Blair in 1997. Despite massive problems with migration and political extremism tied to migration, British voters will empower perhaps the most radical left-wing government since Clement Attlee’s Labour created Britain’s modern welfare state in the ruins of World War II.
Yet Labour back then was thoroughly patriotic, and it governed a Britain that was far more socially and culturally cohesive. Today, especially after two decades of uncontrolled migration, as well as comprehensive national self-hatred instantiated throughout British institutions, the UK is deeply fractured. After 14 years of Tory rule, I don’t know a single British conservative who actually believes the lies the Conservative Party tells about itself. The fecklessness of the Tories, Macronist John Bulls who governed in the interests of London elites, will have delivered Britain into a grim woke future at precisely the same time patriots in continental democracies are finally voting to save their nations.
We remember the Summer of 1914 as the last idyllic season before the West blew itself to bits with World War I. Will we recall the Summer of 2024 as the last idyll before the West destroyed itself with civil war, even if fought primarily through increasingly radical politics? That conclusion seems rash—for now—but one thing is undeniably clear: the center of Western politics no longer holds. It is dead, and the ones who killed it are not Donald Trump, Marine Le Pen, Nigel Farage, and other politicians of the real Right, but rather the managerial liberals (including Republicans, Tories, and Gaullists) who lived by lies—and who, crucially, believed their own lies.
The historian Barbara Tuchman, writing about the folly of the Renaissance popes in provoking and failing to contain the Reformation, criticized their “obliviousness to the growing disaffection of constituents, primacy of self-aggrandizement, [and] illusion of invulnerable status.”
“They could not change” the system, Tuchman wrote, “because they were part of it, grew out of it, depended on it.” So it is with the liberal governing elites of the Western democracies. And now, a Reformation is upon us.

Colonel Macgregor: Biden’s Cognitive Decline Makes it Obvious the US Gov’t is in ‘Unelected Hands’
(LifeSiteNews) — Retired U.S. Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor has said that “the governing power” of the U.S. lies “in unelected hands” after the first presidential debate highlighting President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline to the whole world.
In a video message published on the YouTube channel Our Country Our Choice, MacGregor expressed his concern for the U.S. after Biden’s catastrophic showing in the first presidential debate on June 27.
“President Biden is not fit to discharge the immense duties of the presidency,” the army veteran stated. “The alarming evidence of his cognitive decline was on display for all to witness. Yet his enablers and political allies continue to exploit the president to substitute their destructive agenda for the interests of the American people.”
“Destructive executive orders and policy directives, many of which were likely signed when President Biden was in a rapidly diminished state of mind, inflicted tremendous damage on our nation,” he said.
Macgregor criticized the Biden administration for facilitating mass illegal immigration, destructive climate change policies, and the waging of foreign wars in Ukraine and Israel.
“President Biden’s manipulators fueled a proxy war in Ukraine that risks drawing us into a catastrophic confrontation with nuclear-armed Russia,” the retired Colonel said. “Their unqualified support for Israel’s disproportionate actions in Gaza erodes our moral authority and credibility as a champion of peace and stability.”
“Sadly, President Biden’s fragile mental state was laid bare for all to see in last night’s debate,” he observed. “His responses were frequently incoherent. He appeared lost, even confused, struggling to complete basic thoughts.”
READ: Biden makes poor showing in debate against Trump
“It is time to ask: who truly governs this country?” Macgregor said. “Is it we the people, as our founders intended, or have we surrendered control to unelected bureaucrats, sprawling federal agencies, and affluent donors who do not have the best interests of ordinary Americans at heart?”
“President Biden should retire with grace and dignity and not be cruelly exploited in the twilight of his life,” the Colonel noted.
“To say it’s a national shame is an understatement,” he added. “This travesty should end immediately. It is now obvious that the governing power to determine our nation’s destiny lies in unelected hands.”
“It’s time for Americans to demand a new government that is legitimate. One that is devoted to peace abroad and prosperity at home,” Macgregor concluded.
Democrats and Republicans alike acknowledged Biden’s poor performance in the debate less than five months before the 2024 presidential elections. A CNN anchor said, “Democrats I’m talking to are nearly beside themselves.”
The 81-year-old Joe Biden appeared noticeably disoriented during the debate, generating anxiety among Democrats and sparking renewed speculation about potential plans to replace him with a more viable candidate.
CNN blocked independents from streaming, so LifeSiteNews gave a faithful Catholic reaction to the first major election event instead of live-streaming the debate.

Nickelodeon Features Drag Queen in Latest LGBTQIAAP2S+ Pride Grooming Video for Kids
Children’s network Nickelodeon has released a video for LGBT pride month that features a drag queen, grooming the next generation for immoral homosexuality.
The said video featured drag queen Nina West (born Andrew Robert Leavitt), who explained the meaning of the different colors of the “Progress Pride” flagand the people they represent. West’s explanation perverted the original meaning of the rainbow, which the LGBT movement has appropriated.
“Red means life, because living is a gift. Orange means healing, and we have to persist in working to heal the world and healing ourselves. Yellow means sunlight, because you’ve gotta shine bright. Green means nature, and we’ve gotta fight to keep our earth a thriving home for life,” West sang.
“Blue means harmony, working together. Purple means spirit, believing you have the power and strength within yourself to do whatever you dream.”
The drag queen then pointed to the other colors of the said flag, which are ostensibly meant to represent “transgender” individuals and minorities.
“Baby blue, pink and white represent transgender people, because every letter in LGBTQ+ is equal. And black and brown represent the queer and trans people of color.”
According to Modernity News, the aforementioned video was posted on YouTube Kids, which is meant for younger viewers. This only bolsters the fact that Nickelodeon’s video featuring the drag queen is meant to groom children.
Free speech activist Philip Anderson remarked that the video was the reason he and his family no longer watch Nickelodeon. Author and branding consultant Marc Rudov quickly pointed his finger at “woke parents” for the video as they tolerated it.
X user @justjamietx meanwhile wondered: “Was this released after the documentary came out exposing the sexual abuses going on there?” The documentary they mentioned was “Quiet on Set,” which exposed the sexual assaults experienced by various Nickelodeon stars at the hands of production staff.

Not the first time drag queen West groomed kids for the network
This was not the first time West, who starred in the eleventh season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” made content promoting LGBT for Nickelodeon. In 2021, the drag queen voiced an animated version of himself for the children’s program “Blue’s Clues” – where he sang a ditty about “queer” identities in a video.
The sing-along clip aimed at preschoolers was posted to Nickelodeon’s YouTube channel. It showed the cartoon dog introducing a procession of animals with various “queer” identities as West sang along. During the clip’s duration, the drag queen sang about all types of family arrangements – including transgender, gay and supposed “non-binary” parents and children – but made no mention of heterosexual families.
“This family has two mommies, they love each other so proudly, and they all go marching in the big parade,” the animated drag queen sang into a microphone emblazoned with a solidarity fist – the latter often used by the Black Lives Matter movement.
The cartoon West continued: “All families are made differently, they love each other proudly. Love is love is love, you see – and everyone should love proudly.”

Irish Teacher Released After 400+ Days in Jail Over Refusal to use Transgender Pronouns
DUBLIN, Ireland (LifeSiteNews) — A Christian teacher in Ireland was freed after serving more than 400 days in jail as part of a dispute born out of his refusal to address a transgender pupil by biologically inaccurate pronouns.
On June 28, Mr. Justice Mark Sanfey of the High Court in Dublin ordered that Enoch Burke could be released from the Mountjoy prison, where he has been kept since September 2022.
Irish media reported that Justice Sanfey ordered Burke to be released now that Irish schools are on their summer recess but that the teacher risked returning to jail if he breaks conditions of his release. Those conditions include a ban on him returning to the Church of Ireland Wilson’s Hospital secondary school in Multyfarnham, Co Westmeath, where Burke taught.
The saga surrounding the jailed teacher has been ongoing since 2022. Burke, a teacher of history and German, refused to comply with his school principal’s May 9, 2022, order to use a female name and pronoun for a male student who was in the process of “transitioning.”
This decision set him on a course that ultimately led to his imprisonment. He was placed on paid administrative leave in August 2022 while the school board held a disciplinary process, but when he continued to come to the school, he was served an order to ban him from entering – something he also ignored.
He was then arrested for contempt of court on September 5, 2022, while sitting in an empty classroom in the school. He was sentenced to jail for an unspecified period of time, until he either purged his contempt of court or until the court decreed otherwise. However, after 108 days in jail, he was released by the High Court after the judge argued that Burke was using his imprisonment for his own ends.
In January 2023, the school had issued a notice of dismissal to Burke. After Burke continued to present himself at the school from that month, incurring a daily fine of €700 every time, he was subsequently imprisoned once again in September 2023.
His current release is, as mentioned, due to the summer term holidays rather than the judge exonerating Burke, with the very real threat of future jail time if the former teacher returns to his school.
Burke has consistently maintained that his imprisonment and firing from the school are unjust, stating in January 2023 that the judge “wants to fine me for the profession of my religious beliefs.” He has also denied that he is in contempt of court.
His arrest and jail term are technically due to Burke’s refusal to comply with the court order to avoid the school rather than his refusal to use the transgender pronouns, though as highlighted by Gript Media, Burke has not been required to purge his “contempt of court” in being released on June 28.
The case has become a pivotal and divisive one in Ireland as the issue of transgender ideology becomes more aggressively prevalent in society.
Some have hailed Burke as a public champion in the cause against the growing acceptance of transgender ideology.

Others have argued that Burke’s jail term is due to his own continued refusal to accept his firing by the school and that he could walk free if he only agreed to not present himself at the school.
Burke is from a family of Evangelical Christians, who are well known in the public domain and the court rooms for their vocal stance in defense of Christian values in Irish society. Future developments in his case, and whether or not he will remain free from jail in the future, remains to be seen with his personal future being largely in his own hands.

Biden Ordered Amazon to Hide Books Criticizing Vaccines During Covid ‘Pandemic’
The House Judiciary Committee and Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government presented evidence this week to show that during the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “pandemic,” President Biden and his regime coerced Amazon into hiding books on its platform that are critical of vaccines.
In obedience to the regime, Amazon reportedly reduced the visibility of certain key titles that the Biden regime considers to be a threat because they expose Big Pharma’s vaccine poisons.
Documents show that some of the books had nothing to do with COVID or COVID injections while others were written by medical professionals. Several of the titles are simply reviews of scientific studies that just so happen to address vaccine unsafety and ineffectiveness.
More than 40 books and materials in total were added to the Biden regime’s “Do Not Promote” list that Amazon ultimately censored from its platform all throughout the “pandemic” to stop the public from learning the truth.
(Related: If you got “vaccinated” for COVID, you are more likely to die early compared to your unvaccinated family and friends, a new study has found.)
Censorship is Biden’s forte
In a series of X posts, Judiciary Committee Chair Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Oh.) publicly revealed some of the internal emails from Amazon employees that show “the impetus for this request,” meaning the request to block the books, “is criticism from the Biden Administration.”
“Internal emails reveal that Amazon initially added 43 books to its newly created ‘Do Not Promote’ class of allegedly anti-vaccine books,” Jordan wrote in one of his posts.
“These pro-censorship changes were being made ‘due to criticism from the Biden people.”
.@JudiciaryGOP and @Weaponization obtained internal Amazon documents showing that the urgent “impetus” for Amazon censoring books in March 2021 was “criticism from the Biden administration.”
— Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) June 21, 2024
To censor the books, Amazon created a “new [Do Not Promote] class for anti-vax books.” pic.twitter.com/gM0VMYJ1qy
Even some children’s books were censored as part of the sweep because they were deemed to be too “friendly” towards the unvaccinated:
Before COVID, a children’s book author dared to draft a book for unvaccinated children facing discrimination, “especially in California or New York.”
— Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) June 21, 2024
The author said the book “promotes love, understanding, and kindness to everyone.”
Biden and Amazon preach “tolerance.” Right? pic.twitter.com/9ZoCZqKeDv
A number of books aimed at teaching parents how to raise their children also got axed because the Biden regime found that they are too informational and persuasive in convincing parents to avoid toxic vaccines for their precious children.
“There is nothing the Biden Admin and the elites hate more than parents making their own decisions about their children’s education, health and values,” Jordan said along with a screenshot of The Vaccine Book: Making the Right Decision for Your Child (Sears Parenting Library) by Robert W. Sears, MD.
Biden’s claim all during this time is that these books were full of “misinformation” that could harm the public, especially as Operation Warp Speed was getting off the ground. The truth, though, is that all of the books on the list are much too eye-opening about the dangers of vaccination for the regime’s liking.
The irony is that the Biden regime has repeatedly accused Republicans of engaging in nationwide book “ban” activity. The truth is this: the only side trying to ban books right now is the left.
“Don’t let the Biden Admin tell you that their censorship campaign was about concerns of misinformation going viral on social media,” Jordan contends. “They were going after BOOKS too. This is – and always has been – about suppressing disfavored views, not purported challenges of new technologies.”
If there is one thing the Biden regime is really good at, it is censorship. Learn more at Censorship.news.
