Ben Harnwell
Thursday, 21st of May, Anno Domini 2020 26. Harnwell here at the helm on Steve Bannon's War Room. Well, folks, for those of you that, that caught me on the morning show, the Breakfast show with Steve this morning, you might have heard us talking about this new Thursday show concept. For those of you who didn't hear that, I'll just say a bit now what the idea behind this is. We at the War Room always try to bring you folks the best news, the best analysis, the best commentary that you can trust and so that you can better formulate for yourselves using your agency. Very important to Steve Bannon, using your agency to make your own decisions. And that is why I am particularly delighted today to say, announce that we have a collaboration. Every Thursday we're going to be joining with Ralph Schulhammer, who's the senior correspondent of two news portals that I think are in the first class. And I think both of these news sources are going places you might already have heard them. Steve and I both post them occasionally on social media, especially on our. On our Getter accounts. They are Remix News, RMX Remix News and the Brussels Signal. They are both absolutely excellent. I go to them both every day, browse through to find out what's going on. I put it like this. I'd say that remix is slightly like. I'd say it's the nearest equivalent I have found in Europe to Breitbart. Concentrating on European news, absolutely excellent. And I know it's gonna have a particular resonance with the Warren Posse. It's very good on stuff to do with the invasion, the illegal third world invasion in continental Europe. Brussels Signal is more, I'd say more high bar. That's sort of. That's going to be the FT type analysis, especially concentrating on the European institutions, the three institutions, the European Commission, European Council, European Parliament, where decisions that affect all of our lives here in continental Europe are made up. Now, why are we doing this show on Thursday? Because as the administration, as the Trump administration has made absolutely clear, it thinks that continental Europe is an essential ally and partner to the United States in defending Western civilization against its existential threats. At the same time, the administration is making clear, particularly through statements of Vice President J.D. vance, that there are moves in Europe to suppress freedom of speech, for example, primarily but not excluded, that massively diminished the EU's ability to be of any assistance to the United States whatsoever. And those are the sort of the things that we're going to be digging down with. Every Thursday. We'll pick out four stories for you, two from Remix, two from Brazil's Signal, and with Ralph Schulheim, as I say, senior correspondent of both of these news organizations, we're going to be digesting this first story, as I mentioned, with Steve today. First of all, Ralph, welcome on to the War room. First of many appearances. You are in addition to a senior correspondent to both Remix and Bristol Signal. You are for them, a podcast host in your own right. I'll give you an opportunity at the end of the show just to say a little bit where people might go to catch those. We have some of your analysis, your own analysis analysis. We'll be discussing on the show today. The first story that I had chosen today and I mentioned on the morning show with Steve, I'd framed it like this. There are times when you see a story and its resonance is massively magnified beyond the essential facts in and of itself, because it is an exemplar and a metaphor, if you will, of a wider reality. This is a story that I'm going to ask you just to explain a little bit about. And it is the former French Miss World, I think back in 2007 or something like that, 28, 20 years ago, effectively Miss France, right, was sexually molested by there's no other easy way to say this, folks, by a North African invader in France, and he has been sentenced to prison for six months. As I said, that is a metaphor. It's not just a story of one person being molested. This is Ms. The former Ms. France molested by a third world invader. That is that is the situation, the ontological existence of France in the world today, represented and encapsulated in this single story. Ralph, it's horrific. The headline in and of itself is horrific. Why don't you break it down first and tell us exactly what has happened.
Ralph Schulhammer
Well, first of all, thanks for having me and congratulations, Ben, for the war room going international. I think it was about time because there are many people in Europe and the US we are pulling in the same direction. So I'm glad to see that we're unifying our forces. No, I believe this story is an example of something that many voices, I'm sure that many of your viewers are familiar with the Canadian writer Mark Stein have been warning about for at least 20 years. Everything that they said is going to happen is now happening, as you can see. I think this is very important because even those like a Miss France or a Miss World who thought that they would be shielded from the most negative consequences of mass migration, that worked for a while, but no longer. I mean, this reminds me something your viewers probably can relate to, what happened to Lara Logan in Egypt during the Arab Spring. There's still this kind of idealization of mass migration. And no, no, they are just like us. And you bring them to Europe, you bring them to the. It's like magic soil. They step foot in our territory and boom, they're immediately like we are. And they're immediately like people who have lived in the US and Europe for generations. And we can see now this is simply not the case. It's a tragic story, but to be quite honest, it has been entirely foreseeable.
Ben Harnwell
Entirely foreseeable. And of course you mentioned Mark Stein's incredible book America Alone, that was some 20 years ago, that plots this out and provided very much the narrative, I think, for the anti invasion agenda back in the days before you could even call it an invasion and it was too politically incorrect. This, this is absolutely horrific. And of course, as this show goes on, we've got some other stories here that illustrate, Ralph, the point that you're making that you can't bring in people from radically different backgrounds, expect them to get a stamp in the passport and automatically then assume in, in that very act all that the liberal progressive fundamentals along that comes along with citizenship. You break this down. In fact, we'll talk about this just in a couple of moments or so. It's time. Because you have written a simply superb analysis on why the right keeps winning. We'll discuss that in just a moment. And of course you tie these things together. But just tell me about this, about this specific case you mentioned, that naive expectation. I'd go further than that, Ralph. I, I think they knew that this was never going to work. That was just the pretext that they were. I think it's about what's the rather spicy term that's used in some corners of social media? It's ethnic substitution. That is what it is. That has been part of the goal. And I do put a spiritual overwriting on my analysis on this. I think it is fundamentally driven by people who are against anti the kingdom of Jesus Christ. And the best way that they found of destroying the Christian culture in Europe was by destroying the basis on which Europe was founded. And you can see this. You know, we're going to break this down later on in the show. There's some interesting statistics on the differences between Christians and Muslims on how they think the priests concepts of their religion have a relationship with the secular laws of the state. I just want to say to you that I think the situation here in France, the molestation, the sexual molestation of Miss France by a Moroccan invader, I think that elites across the European Union have be, have betrayed us in the past. They have been betraying us in the past, they are betraying us today and they will go on betraying us in the future until we the people do something about it. Because as Steve Banner says, constantly on the war and this only ends when we end it. Just, just give me once more again the, the major essential points of this story. We'll put the link out on social media for people to study it in greater detail. But this guy, correct me if I'm wrong, he couldn't even speak proper French in his own defense, right?
Ralph Schulhammer
No, that is correct. And I don't want to switch the topic but we had a worst case just a couple of weeks ago in Austria where a six year old girl. And I want to, just to ponder on this for a second where a 6 year old girl was raped by a 52 year old man from Syria and he needed an interpreter in court because he didn't speak a single word of German. And let me also be very clear, when you use the word invasion, I think it's the accurate term and I'll tell you why. In 2015, if you look at the demographics of the people that came to Europe, they were between 90 and 92%. There are some branches of the US military where the female percentage is higher than it was in that. Again, some say it was a refugee wave, but as I said, it has all the characteristics of an invading army. It was mostly men in their 20s and 30s. The last point I want to make, which dovetail is very good with this story and it's so crucial to understand sexual violence is not just about sexual gratification it is about power. How do you show another group, another culture, whatever you want to name it, that you are in the process of conquering them like one, for pretty much the existence of us as a species. It is sexual domination over the women. And this is precisely what you see, not just in France. I mean we picked out this case because it symbolizes it very strongly, but you see this everywhere. We have very reliable empirical data about the increase of sexual violence and the overrepresentation of people from particularly non western backgrounds. I just want to make clear to everyone what we are talking about here is grounded in empirical facts and empirical data. This isn't just you, Ben and me spouting off and saying, oh, this is all terrible and we try to rile people up. We are describing a factual situation. I think that is very, very important to point out
Ben Harnwell
before I give a quick shout. I know we run out of time to discuss this particular story, but I have to say this because this is in addition to everything about this story which is emblematic of the wider crisis in France today, is the fact that the prosecutor on, on behalf of the French state that successfully got six months in prison. I think he's, he's actually sought, the prosecutors actually sought a larger sentence than that, I think, but, but they actually succeeded with, with six months. They, they also sought a ban from, for two years. Now I don't know whether they got that ban in or not, but when I read that I nearly fell out of my chair. This guy should be deported from continental Europe, sent back to Africa and he should never set foot on European soil again. The fact that they sought a two year ban shows you exactly how performative our states, our governments are in continental. Look, we have to move on, right? But as a counterpoint to that, people in the UK have been, have got larger prison sentences for their anti immigration tweets on social media than what this guy has got. Absolutely appalling and disgusting. But that I think it is emblematic of the crisis of the French state that is incapable of doing anything about it. Ralph, stay with us. We've got more to break down. Just a quick shout out. However, I must give to Birch Gold sponsoring this show. As you know, as I mentioned on the show yesterday folks, the national debt in the United States is now equal to the, to the gdp. And you guys in America are paying the grand tune of $3 billion not per year, per day in interest repayments. That is a very clear indication that when the government, the American state seeks to get out of this problem because it's not going to tax people to pay this increasing interest on the debt. It's going to print money. That is your sign that there is going to be asset inflation and primarily in gold. So give Philip Patrick and his team at Birchgold a call. If you phone. If you say if you send Bannon the name, text Bannon to 989-898. They'll send you a free information kit on diversifying into gold. They'll also give you any advice you might need on helping to convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA in physical gold if that's what interests you. And if you get that text in now, you get your phone out now and text Bannon to 989-898 before 29 May. Then Philip Patrick and his team will tell you all about this special offer that they have between now, as I say on the 29th of May, giving first time gold buyers a rebate of up to $10,000 qualifying purchases. So get that text over to Philip Patrick and his team at Birchgold right now. Bannon B A N O N to 989-898. Ralph Schulhammer, you wrote, I think what is one of the best analysis analyses I have read this year? This was published in the Brussels Signal, why the European Right Keeps Rising. And you've basically gone through the German context here specifically, though you do say that the parallel situations exist outside of Germany, also in Austria, France, Netherlands, Italy, so on and so forth. Talking specifically how now folks, if you follow our show on Fridays that we do at this hour, you'll know that we talk about the Brandt Mauer quite frequently, the firewall in Germany, which is the cordon sanitaire to keep the AF out to stop the other main political parties, the CDU and the SDP from going into coalition with the AfD. You make some great points in this article. Specifically, just to cite one of them, you mentioned that the way the European states, member states have been designed now, including the European institutions themselves, you say that, and I quote from your article, all substantial decisions regarding what most people see as existential priorities. And you cite migration specifically, but also energy policy. Those decisions are made elsewhere in administrative organs, accountable to nobody the voter can remove. That is a pretty strong accusation about the way we do things here in continental Europe. You're basically saying these are not fundamentally they have this outer semblance of democracy, but then they're fundamentally anti democratic. And when they are going about suppressing free speech, which we'll come on to A little bit later. And indeed, even political representatives themselves, they're doing that in the name of democracy. And yet, as you point out, those decisions that are most of importance to people, they can't change them because they've been removed from the democratic process by international treaty, backed up by activist judges. Tell me a bit more about that thesis that you build in this article.
Ralph Schulhammer
Well, I would argue that the anti migration movement in Europe is not something that is particularly new. It goes back to the 1960s. In the 1970s and 80s, you have the first openly anti migration parties. They very often did quite well at the polls, but then they disappeared quite quickly because the entire establishment turned against them. But if you look at polling regarding migration, Europeans wanted less of this. And by the way, I always want to build a little bit of a bridge to your American audience. It's the same in the United States. There's been, at least for the last 60 years, a general sentiment among Western societies, and that also includes Canada and Australia, that too much migration from culturally non compatible parts of the world has happened and they want to reverse it. So then politicians went out and said, oh, we hear you. Don't you worry, we take care of it. Then they get back into office and they never did anything. I mean, there's a reason why in the United Kingdom under Boris Johnson, who was supposedly a conservative prime minister, they speak of the Boris wave. This was basically open borders policy. Under Boris Johnson. In Germany, the most disastrous decision regarding migration were made under Angela Merkel, who on paper was a member of the conservative cdu. So in many ways, when we argue, which I think is in essence still true, that open borders is primarily a left wing political program, in many cases it was executed by the right wing. And I would argue the same is until Donald Trump came onto the scene, was true in the United States. Remember, Ben, in 2016, the main issue Trump was running on was migration, because even in the United States, that was the main topic. So the issue we have now is that we have governments and then we have permanent shadow governments, or the American term would be we have the deep state that consists of NGOs, that consists of funding through things like USAID, where you have the European equivalent. And what they basically do is they make sure that a right wing government at best can get into office, but it can never really get into power. But in order to change things, you need to get into power. And once again, this is what we saw so much also in the United States, which I believe Donald Trump is trying to do now differently in the second term to say it's not enough just to be the president, I actually have to be in power and use it. And what we see with some of the European right wing parties, the AfD, the Freedom Party and others, I think that they have learned from the American experience and that they are saying it's not enough just to win the election. If we win it, we actually have to change things. Which also shows you a story we're going to talk about later where there is even more an attempt to clamp down on free speech and open debate, as there was in the past.
Ben Harnwell
You mentioned just now the AfD. You say in this article that people are flocking towards the AfD not because they've had it with democracy, but actually because they want to save democracy. Why did you write that? What's the context between that and why do you say that?
Ralph Schulhammer
Because obviously most people still want to affect change within the democratic system. So this is not the Weimar situation where a significant number of people is saying, you know what, the entire system of democracy have to go. At the moment, they're still saying the parties who are in charge have to go. But if the feeling persists that your vote does not make a difference, it is only a matter of time until you say, you know what, it's not just the parties, it's the entire system. So I always say that if the AfD should fail, if they will forever be excluded from political decision making, they will disappear. But what's going to replace them will be a new movement or a new party. That's not going to say we want to be a new force within the democratic system. They will say we want to be a new force that is completely different and outside of the democratic system. And that's going to be much, much uglier than what we are seeing currently.
Ben Harnwell
Sometimes on the show I've made the argument that these various populist nationalist iterations that we see around the world are really exactly what you just said, that the last chance to be able to change the system from within. Because. And if, and if these are blocked, if the political establishment successfully blocks these populist nationalist iterations from doing that, it's very, very good for propaganda to say that we're the bad guys. But to our right, right to our right, further out, there are people that don't accept any of the fundamental reforms that we want. They just want to overthrow it. This is like capital art rev. And I think that's why it's so essential and imperative that this movement gets to succeed. On that subject now we've got a commercial break coming up in just a couple of moments. But on that subject you do make the argument that the Second World War, the experience of fascism and Nazism, really introduced race and ethnicity, ethnicity into nationalism which wasn't there before. On that point I was thinking, because in my analysis of the, here in Italy of the populist nationalist movements, there is now an element of ethno nationalism that I haven't seen, I hadn't seen like five, 10 years ago. It's quite widespread, but it really only exists in young guys who are younger than 25. Anyone pretty much older than that. I've not really heard any strong ethno nationalist arguments from. But that's the age group I'm starting to see this picking up in. And Ralph, my, my fear is, my, my, my, my worry is, and perhaps just give me 60 seconds on this before we go to the commercial break. That is due of our generation, I think to make the system, if you will, work for ordinary people. Because when we, when we talk in terms of cultural nationalism which you indicate in this article, we end where we're being rejected. We're being dismissed out of hand now by a generation that's coming through that knows it's been betrayed and rejecting the whole superstructure of anything that you know of institutional conservatism, institutional nationalism, it's just all being rejected. And they're saying, anyone who says, anyone who says what you're saying because it's true, because you mentioned that the performative nature of the center right in Germany, these go, what we're saying is being said by the center right leaders and those guys basically are traitors. So if you're going to say that, we'll just dismiss you as well. We want the full blooded ethno nationalism. Just give me 60 seconds if you wouldn't mind, about what's taking place within generation Z at the moment and what you think the future dynamic is going to be there.
Ralph Schulhammer
Listen, I'm not a fan of ethno nationalism because I consider myself a cultural nationalist. But I will say one thing. Every left wing party has pandered to racial issues, right? The minorities, the people of color and whatnot. So it was only a matter of, of time. And other people much smarter than me have predicted this, that it's only a matter of time until white people will find their own party as well.
Ben Harnwell
Yeah, and there you actually can, you actually do. But you agree with my thesis here that there is a tendency in amongst young Gen z guys just 100% thing, 100% again and again. It illustrates the importance that, that the nationalism that I think that Trump is leading, President Trump's leading the United states, that the AfD in Germany, so on and so forth, be allowed to succeed. Because if that fails, then it's, it's only going to give the impetus to the, to the ethno nationalists. I quite agree with you on that, Ralph Schulhammer. Stay with us. We'll be back in two minutes after this short commercial break. Specifically now to discuss us the growth of Islam in continental Europe. Stay tuned.

Welcome back, folks. What this story, the third story that we're going to be discussing on the show today, I think draws up and synthesizes the first two arguments we were discussing in the first half of the show. There's an article out now in the standard German newspaper which has a horrific statistic. I think anyone who'd read Mark Stein's America alone, Ralph Schulhammer, 20 years ago, as you were saying, won't be surprised. But I think it's surprising the German establishment, 41% of Muslim youth agree with the statement that their religious laws take precedence over the laws in Austria, excuse me, Austria here rather than Germany, compared to only 21% of Christian youth. That is an astonishing gauntlet which is being thrown down, is it not, to the secular nature of the modern European state?
Ralph Schulhammer
Well, it gets even worse in the city of Vienna, in 48% of public middle schools, 48% of the pupils are Muslims. I mean, this is always the argument one has to keep in mind if you want to see what the future of a country looks like. You have to look at the maternity wards, you have to look at the kindergartens, because the generation there is going to be the future generation. At the moment, there are bits and pieces and parts in continental Europe, particularly in the urban areas. The countryside is slightly different. That, as things are standing now, will have a Muslim future. Vienna at its current course is going to be a Muslim city one or two generations down the road. Now, I think these things can still be changed. And by the way, I also don't think that this transformation is going to be peaceful because everybody's getting angry about it, which is the reason why the right wing parties are rising. And it also shows you something else. I'm pretty sure that Osama bin Laden has not been quoted very often on the War Room, but he has this line where he once said that if people see a strong horse and a weak horse, they are automatically drawn to the strong horse. And unfortunately, in the European cultural battle, Islam at the moment is the strong horse, which is why we also have growing numbers of conversions where young people become Muslim voluntarily because they Say I can either integrate or remain part of a culture that hates itself, that is subsumed under a tyranny of guilt that constantly goes around the world in apologizes for itself. Or we can join this other idea, this other religion that is very proud and you know, is full of self confidence. And that seems to be more appealing than we are willing to admit.
Ben Harnwell
What do you think about images that get shot around the world every now and again? There's one like a couple of weeks ago, I think a month or so ago where when Pope Leo went to Lebanon and he was there in the mosque without his shoes on, praying together with the local imam. What kind of message do those images signal? Both within the Islamic sphere, but also within the Christian sphere. In the light of what you're just
Ralph Schulhammer
saying, I'm not gonna lie. I'm Catholic myself, but I'm very disappointed in the leadership of the Catholic Church. And I would have wished that when the choice was made that the new Pope would have been a pope from Africa, because they know what it means if you're up against the foe that wants to kill you. And I think again, this is massively underestimated. We never talk about the churches that are being burnt in France. We never been talk. We're talking never about the churches where graffiti is sprayed on in Austria and in Germany, I think in Austria the number is around 90 churches. We never talk about this. If these would be mosques, it would be a headline in the New York Times. But it's just churches. Nobody cares about it. And as a quick side note, Notre Dame, again, I'm speculating here, I might be wrong, but to this day I believe it was arson. That all these churches were the victim of arson. But the biggest, the most significant one, there was just some guy who forgot to put out his cigarette. I'm sorry, I don't believe it.
Ben Harnwell
So you think that the French government has been lying to its own people on the origins? Yeah, I quite agree with you. Coming back to this remix article that breaks down the the 41% of Muslims who believe that German secular law needs to be the Austrian secular law needs to be subservient to the precepts of Islam. There is another statistic buried in here in this research that says one third of Muslim youth have become even more religious recently. The thing, the word there that I home in on is the youth aspect. Because this to me illustrates we're not talking about immigrants who have come in, say, look like a number of decades ago. These are either invaders that are here now or second, third generation of immigrant backgrounds who are increasingly becoming more Islamic. I often found finding my experience in the UK but also here in Italy of meeting first generation migrants from Islamic backgrounds. They're incredibly secular to a certain extent. They have nostalgia for their homeland, of what they've left. But they know what they left and they know why they left it. That reality is often missing in their kids and in their grandchildren. And there seems to be a radicalization going. There's a radicalization going on in Christendom as well. We talk about this on our Wednesday show every week. A revival taking place amongst Gen Z guys, young guys who are basically in their very early twenties who are out on social media talking about their Christian faith, their Catholic faith, their evangelical faith in an incredibly compelling way. But for every one of Those guys, there's 20, 30, 40 Muslim guys increasingly embracing their own religious tradition. I don't put words in your mouth, Ralph, but I think you would see a very strong warning sign in that development, right, that one third of Muslims in Europe are becoming more religious.
Ralph Schulhammer
I think there's a strong warning sign. I think there's a strong warning sign, but we have to dig a little deeper here. I mean, one of the reasons why particularly young men flock with a migrant background, flock back to a radicalize or whatever term you want to use, it's not because they all have read the Quran or they're experts on the theology of the writings of Mohammed. It is because it is a religion that has self confidence. And just like with everything else, young people want to be part of a movement that is self confident, that claims that the future belongs to it. And Islam does this very successful. And there is nothing, at least in continental Europe, with few exceptions, like there are small pockets that we have as a counter movement. So if you want people to integrate, if you want people to have an identity, something is always stronger than nothing. And Islam is something. But European identities, whatever they are, are very, very close to nothing. What does it mean to be German? If you even ask the question to a German politician, they will say, well, even to ask such a question is, you know, proto fascist and quasi and neo Nazi Nazi aspect. I mean, it's very similar in the United States. The very idea that there is something genuinely German, genuinely American, genuinely Austrian that is worth being preserved is already seen as something there should be a law against. And like in the uk, just remember there has been a girl in the United Kingdom who was wearing a dress that had the Union Jack on it, like I think one of the Spice girls did it 20 or 30 years ago. She was sent home and told to wear a different dress. And shethis young girl, I think she was 11, asked the one most profound question. She said, why is everybody allowed to wear something that signifies their culture? But I'm, as an English girl, I'm not allowed to wear something that signifies English culture. And that's the main problem. If you have Islam and you count the movement to Islam is basically nihilism or hatred of yourself, nobody's going to sign up for that.
Ben Harnwell
The multicultural elites that have been driving this agenda for the last sort of 60 years in the UK I'd put this thesis to you, Ralph Schulhammer, that these multi multicultural elites, they're not particularly interested in other cultures. They're just using the existence of other cultures that they bought in to the west as the pretext for suppressing Christianity basically and the culture that derives out of Christianity. Am I being cynical on that or do you think that that's pretty much the case here?
Ralph Schulhammer
No, I think you're correct. But I would say it's not just Christianity, it's the entire Western inheritance. I mean, they hate nationalism or secular national just as much. And the big lie is, and I'm using this term advisedly, is that there is no such thing as multiculturalism. There might be multi ethnic societies. Take the United Kingdom, you have Welsh, you have Scots, you have the English. They are basically a multi ethnic country. But they have one culture, which is British culture. The same in Germany. Somebody from Bavaria is different than somebody from Berlin. But even though they are multi ethnic, they are still one German culture. The problem is that if you have completely different cultures like, like Islam and whatever is left of Western culture, at some point they're going to collide. I mean, I find this completely absurd. In 2003 we have been told, well, it's absolutely impossible, Sunni, Shia and Kurds, they cannot coexist with each other. But you think that post secular Europeans and re religionized Muslims that they can coexist. I mean everybody who claims this in my opinion is completely out of their mind.
Ben Harnwell
Yeah. Well, in the closing moments of the show we'll hit the fourth story. I think that that caps off your point perfectly rough. First of all, have a quick shout out to the two sponsors of the second half of this show. I was reading a couple of days ago about this guy called John Nestor who worked for the Food and Drug administration in the 80s. And this guy had this habit of blocking up the Beltway every weekday morning for miles behind as he Drove along at the 55 in the overtake lane in 55 mph, the legal speed limit. That illustrates the perfect nature. And this I think will be a great insight to the Maha crowd, right? This is the insight of people who govern over us. They take our taxes for their exorbitant salaries and pensions and healthcare system, right? And their fundamental shtick is that they know better than we do and we put these people in these positions. So it's fundamentally our fault. But I thought this was a perfect example. This guy was the, was a senior reviewer on cardiac and renal drugs at the FDA who did this, who blocked up the beltway and he had a record of zero approvals. He wouldn't approve anything and they even tried to get rid of him. I learned about this guy because I got it in the briefing from Jim Rickards system of Paradigm Press. And that's why I thought it was absolutely fascinating. Gave me great insights there. And that's what I just want to mention, folks today. So I'm always talking about Jim Rickards, Paradigm Press. We do say on the War Room, he's at our wise man. If you go to ricardswarum.com you'll right now sign up. I did it a few months ago. Some of the best money I've ever spent. Daily briefings on all sorts, all sorts of things. You've got Jim's insights on geopolitics, on the markets. He's got a great team as well, writing stuff. And I couldn't recommend it more highly. As I said, I spend my own hard earned cash on that. And I, you know, my only regret is that I didn't do it Sooner. Go to ricardwarroom.com now. That's the landing page for the War Room posse. Claim your free book on moneygpt and I strongly recommend it. I'd be happy to vouch for Jim's doing that. It is. And folks who follow him on the show will know how great his insights are. They are really quite superb. And also folks, if you call 845 War Room right now, speak to the guys at chapter, especially if you're turning 65, you're 65 already and you're on Medicare, phone up, speak to them, they'll tell you, they'll look at how much you're paying. They'll see if there's anything that can be done for you in terms of better health service, perhaps on premiums or what have you and they are not in the pocket of the healthcare lobby. They'll give you great Advice. And they have thousands, many thousands of certified customers. Call once again, 845-WARROOM. And when you speak to them, tell them that Steve Bannon's war Room sent you. Okay, so, Ralph, we have, I think, what, five minutes of this show left. Let's go to our final article today. This is from Brussels Signal, the European Court of Human Rights, that great bastion as it presents itself certainly here in continental Europe of, of safeguard of our human rights, which in court, you know, to sign the European Convention, you have to be a signatory of that now if you want to be in the European Union. But its signatures expand beyond the EU itself. Here was a case brought by Georgia, where. That's the country. Not. Not Georgia Malone, that's the East European country. They basically said that this guy who had criticized his local main Tbilisi, and the police officers, they sued him and he fought back and appealed, said that he had a right to free speech, which apparently is enshrined in Article 10 of the European Convention of Human Rights. But the, the court said, no, that doesn't protect your free speech on these things. Ralph, I know we've got only a few minutes left. Tell me again. Right, because my view on this, looking at the way the European Union is going, there is an attempt to suppress our ability to communicate either publicly on social media or send DMs to one another. The European Commission for some time has been lobbying America as well to give access codes. And they can put down these gag orders and suppression orders on the social networks. And it's so nefarious and so back, it's so duplicitous, the social networks aren't even allowed to say publicly when they've received these court orders. Tell us what you guys at Brussels Signal wrote about this case specifically.
Ralph Schulhammer
I mean, this is not just to be very clear. This is not just an attempt. We see it now happening, as the article outlines quite nicely, also happening on the European level. But in Germany, for example, during the COVID crisis, they sneakily passed a law. And that law rules that if you insult the politician, it has to be treated harder. It's basically like a hate crime in the United States, right? If you commit a crime and there's a hate element to it, you're going to be punished harder. And they have the same thing now in Germany. When you insult the politician, you're going to be punished harder than if you insult a regular citizen. You have the same in Austria. You have to. Not as much, but you have similar things in the uk. So these are not just Attempts. You had Angela Merkel, who gets some weird medal in the European Union just yesterday where she said the biggest danger is social media and the information on the Internet. So these are not just attempts. This is happening as we speak. There is an attempt to clamp down any criticism on the current ruling class. And we live in these absurd times where I would say at the moment we are in a revolutionary period. But it's not the people revolting against the rulers. It's actually the ruling class revolting against the people, which is a very, very odd situation. It's only going to get worse. And it always comes. And I have to hand it to them, that's brilliant. It always comes under the guise of human rights. Who would be against human rights? The use of the term is a brilliant rhetorical trick because you say, oh, you don't want these laws or are you against human rights? And that's the game they're playing. And I'm afraid that they're going to be more successful in the years to come because they know that looking at the polls, their time is up. So what they will try to do is to make sure that these new political movements will not have or cannot translate their appeal into political power because it will be very hard for them to communicate with their voters.
Ben Harnwell
And just very quickly, you do think that this is part of the wider nefarious plot to suppress our ability to communicate and diffuse rebellious ideas on social media. Right? Because if there was a social media activity aspect to this case, wasn't there?
Ralph Schulhammer
Absolutely. And I just want to add, this is not just a plot. I sometimes use that language myself. So I'm not criticizing you, Ben, but they do it out in the open. You have politicians standing out there on a podium and saying, we have to stop alternative media. We have to ban people receiving, for example, news from the United States because it's all fake news. So this is happening out in the open. So usually I thought the conspiracy, something that happens in the background, right? It's, you know, it's smoke filled rooms where shady deals are being made. But no, no, no, no, not at all. They come down on everyone with the full force of the law.
Ben Harnwell
This is something we say on the war room all the time. This is not a conspiracy theory. It is in your face. Look like a minute, it's in your face. It's not a plot, it's not a conspiracy theory. This is open, broad daylight in your face. Ralph, just give me one minute. As we, as we run towards the end of the show, tell me very Quickly about Brussels Signal and Remix. Where do people go to learn more about the coverage that you have out which is absolutely superb on social media?

Steve Bannon
Everyone's focus on how the conflict in the Middle east is raising oil prices. But there's another grim reality to this contention. Oil isn't the only resource being constrained. About one third of global fertilizer trade happens through this region. And with spring planting season on top of us, American farmers are sounding the alarm with some saying they can't afford to plant their field. When one piece of the supply chain gets hit this hard, you know what comes next? Higher fruit prices, reduced availability, maybe even panic buying. That's why having an emergency food supply at home makes so much sense. And that's where our friends at my Patriot Supply come in.

Host: Ben Harnwell (WarRoom.org)
Co-Host/Guest: Ralph Schulhammer (Senior Correspondent: Remix News, Brussels Signal)
This episode inaugurates a new Thursday EU-focused format for Bannon’s War Room, aiming to analyze European issues from a populist, right-wing perspective. Host Ben Harnwell teams up with Ralph Schulhammer, bringing together coverage from two European news portals (Remix News—akin to Breitbart for Europe—and Brussels Signal, providing more institutional analysis). Together, they dissect four major stories:
[05:54–12:36]
Incident Recap: Former Miss France (Miss World 2007) was sexually assaulted by a Moroccan migrant—sentenced to six months imprisonment.
Symbolic Weight: Harnwell posits this as an "exemplar... a metaphor... of a wider reality"—the state of French civilization under pressure from migration.
Ralph Schulhammer Contextualizes:
Power Dynamics & Crime:
Systemic Failure:
[17:27–22:32]
Democratic Facade:
Historical Perspective:
Permanent Establishment:
Populism as Last Reformist Hope:
[22:32–26:08]
[32:24–41:31]
Statistical Shock:
Absence of European Confidence:
Youth Religiousization Trend:
[42:33–51:13]
This episode paints a stark picture of a Europe at a crossroads—torn between its civilizational heritage, a crisis of governance, the demographic transformation due to migration, and rapidly polarizing youth. The speakers warn that if moderate populist movements are suppressed, radicalization—both religious and ethnonationalist—will fill the vacuum, while the elite’s "performative" response is to clamp down on dissent and accountability. The call to action is for open debate and to refuse resignation to managed decline.
