The EU is retaliating against cooperating with the GAE to lock down White people.

Once upon a time, citizens of the United States could travel to almost every country in the European Union for 90 days without asking any government for permission beyond showing a passport at the initial point of entry. It was—and still is, for a few waning months—a marvelous if underacknowledged achievement for liberty.

Alas, the days of frictionless travel will soon be a memory. Starting at a so-far-unspecified date in early 2024, Americans and residents of 62 other countries that currently enjoy visa-free visitation to the Schengen Area of the E.U. will need to pay a fee and submit an online application (including biometric information, work experience, medical conditions, and initial itinerary), then pass a criminal/security background check, before enjoying that croissant in gay Paree. The grimly named European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) is projected to cost 7 euros per application and take up to 14 days to render a decision.

Before you start shaking your fist at freedom-hating Eurocrats, know that ETIAS is the belated continental answer to a system the U.S. has imposed on residents of friendly countries since 2009, called the Electronic System for Travel Authorization, or ESTA.

Having lost the ability to dominate the rest of the world, the satanic rulers of the dying West have no choice but to vent their frustration on the people of their oppressed host nations. Not to worry! Illiterate peasants and violent invaders will still freely flow into Western countries without papers and frequently being known in advance as threats. It is our people who are being corralled. This is a prelude to a total ban on us ever leaving our slave plantation homes. Next month, I expect all of the blowhards, zionists, feminists, warmongers, non-American invaders, and queers of the GOP to vigorously debate this development.

There are still ways out for those looking to flee. But it would be better to act now rather than wait another year or even month.

Based on chatter, it may be wise to avoid travel to Europe and East Asia at this time. Also, for Americans and Europeans, continue to avoid large cities, capitals, and MIL-critical infrastructure facilities. This is a very broad area, but of course, it is a very broad war.

Don’t worry Boomer Cons, muh Fourth Amendment protects against unwarranted (illegal) searches and seizures in the airport.

U.S. government officials are adding data from as many as 10,000 electronic devices each year to a massive database they’ve compiled from cellphones, iPads and computers seized from travelers at the country’s airports, seaports and border crossings, leaders of Customs and Border Protection told congressional staff in a briefing this summer.

The rapid expansion of the database and the ability of 2,700 CBP officers to access it without a warrant — two details not previously known about the database — have raised alarms in Congress about what use the government has made of the information, much of which is captured from people not suspected of any crime. CBP officials told congressional staff the data is maintained for 15 years.

Details of the database were revealed Thursday in a letter to CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus from Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), who criticized the agency for “allowing indiscriminate rifling through Americans’ private records” and called for stronger privacy protections.

Stronger protections?! B-b-but, muh constitution!

Really. Burner devices. And clear them or destroy them before returning to the land of the fee and the home of the slave.

And they probably won’t say “please” when they demand compliance with this draconian, idiotic, unconscionable, and private corporation-driven scheme most similar to what the ChiComs are proposing.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) said Monday it’s “in the final development phase” of a mobile “digital passport” app that would tell airlines if international travelers had been vaccinated against COVID-19. The app would help “get people traveling again safely,” IATA’s Nick Careen said in a statement, by “giving governments confidence that systematic COVID-19 testing can work as a replacement for quarantine requirements.”

Saaaaaaaaafety. The public, I assume, will go along gleefully. You having this?

*Well, this is the final installment in the soon-to-be-published GET OUT! Unlike the other, happier segments, about young people and Europe, this one is about the end of America and the dissolution of the United States. I honestly ran out of steam and make no apologies for the lack of details. We’ll come up with those another day. 

The Remains of AMERICA

Hello, friends, and welcome to part ten – whatever becomes of the United States and America. I did separate the US and A, there. Outbound kids, please read the following even though it (hopefully) will not apply to you. And, this was a little hard to write. Kindly review the options if you need to:

PART I: Poland

PART II: Slovakia

PART III: Hungary

PART IV: Poland 2.0

PART V: Romania (and Moldova)

PART VI: Austria, Slovenia, Croatia (with Czechia)

PART VII: Estonia and the Baltics

PART VIII: Ukraine, Russia, and More

PART IX: Euro Micros (and Others)

First, because it’s Poland, another hopeful glimpse of the future of the West, courtesy of Vdare and James Kirkpatrick. The cementing of hard-right Chrisitan Nationalism in Polska really is a “white pill.” Not long ago, I looked into the satanic opposition’s despair over the recent, happy election. Kirkpatrick piles on with what it means for the good and the decent. Many thanks to the reader who reminded me of the story. White pills – and that means the Christ or Logos-centered truth in red pill-blue pill speak – is important, especially concerning the following installment.

For those who remain in that odd nation-shaped kind of place between Canada and Mexico… Wow, yes, things are dark and they will assuredly get much darker. Yet and still, there is a kind light shining ahead, perhaps way far ahead. In the end, for some at least, things will improve. It’s the getting there that will be most painful.

“America” was a distinct nation, composed of distinct People. That’s gone now, undone by decades of retreat, submission, and sabotage. Without a coherent nation, all we’ve been left with is the shell of a state, a loosely-cobbled country held together by threats and violence from the Potomac. I’ve long called a final trifecta to end the United States. The sequence I envisioned was: economic collapse, foreign war and defeat, and massive country-shattering civil war. 

An economic depression is in progress now. I did not foresee a hoax pandemic as a cover though that only matters as it underscores how stupid and gullible the people have become. It will get worse as the various political and central banking tricks increasingly exhaust themselves. 

In many ways, the foreign war is already in progress as well. We’re still bogged down in countless idiotic and unwinnable adventures in various theaters. Iran (and others) have, lately, demonstrated that Washington’s imperial dominance has ended. But, what I think is still coming, and what the neocons seemed bound and hellishly determined to deliver, is a crushing outright defeat by another power. The failed empire cannot beat small, unorganized tribes in the hills. It stands no chance against nuclear-armed and strategically-capable nations like China and Russia (and a few others). But, we are daily, hourly pushed towards some conflict that the lunatics know cannot be won. They will get it and it will end very, very badly for the US.

The good news is that I think that conflict will be over almost as soon as it starts. Then, once the world knows the paper tiger is impotent, the real trouble at home will break wide open. The same war games and models that say the US cannot win a war with Russia or China also say the empire cannot overcome a determined (patriotic) foe at home. They know all of this but they blunder forward regardless, being both stupid and evil. They don’t care.

I have heard it argued most convincingly that a civil war is already underway in the remains of America. Right now, it resembles nightly rioting and general unrest. Before this decade is out, look for it to escalate. Dramatically. So far, the traditional remnant of the American Posterity has not engaged their assorted enemies. They will. Unlike the civil conflict of the 1860s, this one will feature more than two sides.

An admission: Here, I have just about run out of steam for this series, ESPECIALLY as to this part. It’s a little depressing and it involves rank uncertainty which makes it hard to write about. What was (is) the territory of the United States will, at some point, and probably sooner than later, undergo balkanization. How many new states will we be left with? No one knows. It could be two, ten, or fifty. Knowing the ‘Murican way, we can safely count on achieving this inevitability through large-scale violence, perhaps on a scale rarely seen in history. 

Unlike the unpleasantness of the 1860s, this war will involve many factions fighting on different fronts. If one needs a summary like “North v. South,” then it will be Christians v. Satanists. They’d like to put a race-war spin on it, with Whites (and allies) against everyone else; that’s not exactly how it is, but that may be a representation of how it looks (judging by current events, for instance).

Later – I have the time – I’ll try harder to think out in more clear fashion how this might look, and what to do about it. Eventually, a new America will arise somewhere between Canada and Mexico. Geopolitical life won’t be the same, but it might end up better – after many trials. We, or our descendants, can look forward to peace and prosperity someday. For now, prepare for the worst. Right now, it’s not quite as bad as you think; later, it will probably be worse than you can imagine. In general, lay low and try to avoid attention. GET OUT OF THE CITIES! Never lose Faith and never give in or up. 

This started as a look at central and eastern Europe. This final bit was a reluctant bonus and I’m going to cut it short now. This thing is starting to accelerate, so you may know the trends as soon as I do. However, if at all possible, I’ll amend this ending with more concise details in the future. Thanks for reading. Now, get to work. Kids, get moving, and remember the postcards.

EURO MICROS (and Others)

EURO MICROS (and Others)

Welcome, intrepid travelers, to part nine, the final segment in our course on European escapism. Remember to review the following in order to come up to speed:

PART I: Poland

PART II: Slovakia

PART III: Hungary

PART IV: Poland 2.0

PART V: Romania (and Moldova)

PART VI: Austria, Slovenia, Croatia (with Czechia)

PART VII: Estonia and the Baltics

PART VIII: Ukraine, Russia, and More

 

Let’s think small, for a moment, shall we?

Sometimes big, good things come in smaller packages. Here’s a quick look at the Microstates of Europe. These are postage-stamp-sized places in out of the way locations, some you’ve heard of, others you haven’t. In the end, I’ll add in a few nations outside Europe that are still worth a cursory investigation – a bonus for you!

Herein, I will concentrate on two quaint little nations, both mountainous, with a shortlist of others to follow.

ANDORA

Who else can say they harassed Hannibal with mountain guerilla warfare, fought the Moors with Charlemagne, and took an active “neutral” role in defeating the Axis Powers during World War Two? I have no idea who else could, but the Andorrans can. 

Welcome to the zany, happy little mountain hideaway no one knows exists. Andora is real. She sits high on the hills (the Pyrenees) between Spain and France, a nation the size of a small US county. 75,000+ Andorrans happily share their prosperity, history, and traditions a world away from, though only a short drive to, the rest of the EU.

Of that 75,000 (and, due to rampant tourism, there are generally more folks than that about), a third are literal Andorrans. Another 60% come from Spain, France, and Portugal. We’ll say it’s 97% Euro homogeneous, with the bulk of the minority composed of seasonal and resort workers, generally from Arabic states. The people are roughly 94% Christian, with a full 90% belonging to the Roman Catholic Church. The national average IQ is roughly center-average, around 100. 

All of these good people do something right because they hold the record for the highest life expectancy in the world! They’re as healthy as we can get, and they like it that way. They also enjoy decent novelty in their civic lives. The national postage stamp is governed by what amounts to a town council. And, they have a Prince for a chief executive. However! Unlike anywhere else in the world, the Monarch is … appointed! That’s right. It’s a strange deal, but when the time comes to meet the new boss, a leader is selected by a two-man committee composed of the President of France and the Catholic Bishop of some town (I forget which) in Spain. No hanging chads and no stupid fads; wrap your heads around that at your leisure.

When they’re not living forever, they like to socialize and talk, officially speaking Catalan (a Spanish-ish Romance language). And, given their geography, resorts, ultra-high-tech and modern everything, and status as a duty-free TAX HAVEN, they frequently entertain French, Spanish, Portuguese, and even English.

Being located between and sheltered by two larger nations, they have little need for any military or associated spending. They have police, of course, and a part-time, kinda-sorta might-show-up militia, not that it is regularly called on. Mountains are easy to defend and it’s all the simpler when an enemy would have to march through or fly over a larger country with a standing army. Of course, should France or Spain turn on them (you), it might go poorly – be nice to your neighbors! (This has rarely ever been more than an administrative issue).

Here’s a more common dilemma: how to get home from France. Assuming you drive back, you have to make this terrible choice upon reaching the border. Do you zip through the new freeway tunnel and arrive in minutes? Or, do you meander down the old highway, taking in all the gorgeous scenery and eating up a few more minutes? Well??? Així és la vida, as the Catalonians say.

All this perfection does not come cheap. Things can be a little pricey (and, it’s all priced in Euros). One popular local trick for beating the higher costs is to be rich. If you’re not, then there is work and, I suppose, some discounts here and there. Shop around if you’re interested. They’ve got it all if it’s a tad small. Geesh … now, to a similar story in,

LIECHTENSTEIN

After Andora, you’ll feel like a minnow in the tub with some other minnows in Liechtenstein. There, one finds only half the population, spread throughout the valleys of a nation the size of a medium-sized American county. Of course, there may be more tourists and passers-by than citizens, but you’ve still got a whopping 62 square miles of space. 

Oh, and the natives are rather wealthy, hosting a per capita GDP somewhere between two and three times that of the US. Yes, it’s another very small and pretty expensive, but physically pretty, place.

Scenery everywhere! The little nation that can is situated smack-dab in the middle of Switzerland and Austria, in the Alps. If you need a job, you’re in luck, as Liechtenstein has more companies than people. And, the taxes are so low as to flirt with the ridiculous. Again, as things are priced, you’ll need the money.

And, you’ll like the people, 95% of whom are ethnically European, with a few “others” mixed in, usually for cheap labor, which – keep an eye on it – usually doesn’t turn out cheap in the end. The people are 85% Christian, and 75% Catholic. And, they all clock in with an above normative average IQ! The people are smart enough to warrant a rare direct democracy, though they are checked by the soothing influence of another kindly Prince, this one of the more common hereditary kind.

They all, officially, speak German, though one will hear the occasional French, Italian, or English conversation. Business is conducted in the Swiss Franc. If you must be doubly-landlocked, this might be the place to do it.

Now, for a brief naming of the other little-bitty city-states of Europe:

Malta – an island with some recent arrivals, but with a higher IQ.

Monaco – Another Prince’s wealthy backyard where Roman Catholicism is the official religion, the people are homogenous, and on average, brighter than Amerikans.

San Marino – It’s ancient and it’s essentially Italy. Home to some of the smartest people in the world. 

Luxembourg – Pricey Monarchy where people are smart, look the same,  are mostly Christian.

And now, for another bonus, I’ll throw out the names – and not much more – of some viable places of potential located elsewhere:

ELSEWHERE

New Zealand,

Chile.

Argentina,

Uruguay,

The far north of Canada (for the cold and hearty who require little companionship), and there are more, but you’ll have to do your homework. Anywhere will have pros and cons. I’d suggest perhaps avoiding the places already popular with American (Boomer) Expats, ie: Costa Rica, Belize, etc.

When you go, wherever it is, remember why you’re going. And remember that the evil never sleeps; we must resist the siren-songs of the globalist everywhere and all the time. Postcards, etc.

And, next time, we finally get around to those of us who remain in place.

UKRAINE, RUSSIA, and THE REST

UKRAINE, RUSSIA, and THE REST

We’re nearing the end of the tour-of-Europe, with a quick glance at two final Eastern nations and a cursory glimpse at the Rest of the European West. Welcome to part eight. 

PART I: Poland

PART II: Slovakia

PART III: Hungary

PART IV: Poland 2.0

PART V: Romania (and Moldova)

PART VI: Austria, Slovenia, Croatia (with Czechia)

PART VII: Estonia and the Baltics

No apologies, young friends, but I really have to speed this along. Our first two destinations you have heard of, though they are somewhat historically, politically, and economically different than those we’ve covered. Both still fit within my tripartite matrix. The list that follows them is, well, a list. Here are the two final Eastern Euro nations of the great tour:

UKRAINE

It’s, as might be guessed, majority (78%) Ukrainian. The remainder is mostly Russian and the total demographic composition is roughly 98-99% similar, if not utterly homogeneous. 80% are Christians, with 60% belonging to the Eastern Orthodox Church; 95% are “believers.” As such, they tend to be intelligent, solidly “average” on average, and ahead of the declining US.

The languages are, again, as might be expected, Ukrainian and Russian. The currency is the Hryvnia, one of which roughly equals .04 USD. There’s is a wide-open, beautiful country, with a rapidly developing, increasingly sophisticated economy. They are a proud people of tradition. One of the traditions is intermittent disagreement with,

RUSSIA

Okay, here’s a brief slow-down. When I was a boy, we were reliably told that Russia (then, the USSR) was the “evil empire.” They were our “cold” adversaries and their people suffered miserably under communism. And, now, today… Today, we have completely flipped the equation around. The land of the free is dying from a million self-inflicted wounds. Meanwhile, in Russia, they have flat taxes, superhighways, skyscrapers going up at an Arab or Asian rate, as long as you’re not subversive, you’re as free as a lark, AKs are everywhere, and they have a government that appears to govern for (not against) the benefit of the people.

Those people are, nationwide, 80% ethnically Russian, and about 90% European. The country is huge, truly continent-spanning; in the Euro West, the demographics are closer to 99% homogenous. 75% are “spiritual” and 50% are Eastern Orthodox Christians. They have the fair share of atheists, likely holdovers from the terrors of the past, but the overall situation is better than much of the West. They’re smart too, with an average IQ a hair under a straight normative SB/WAIS average – nearly half an SD above that in Amerika.

You guessed it! They speak Russian. Their currency is the Ruble. And, they are a powerful, nuclear-armed nation, the most dominant one of the two countries that need not bow to the new evil empire. While known best for their vodka, they also produce some of the best local, craft beer – generally made on small farms by older women – in Europe.

These are two great and proud countries. They are not without issues. Think of it as trading one form of uncertainty for another, but in two places where the people and their lands will outlast the problems they face.

Now, for a very quick look at the rest of the larger nations of Europe. If they taught you anything in your school classes (a large if, I know), then you probably know a little already. SP, the Duck, and InfoGalactic can fill in the gaps. Many of these are the secondary lines of the real “Camp of the Saints” struggle, somewhat behind the leading descender, the US Empire. Beyond noting that the first two are nuclear powers, I’m just going to rattle off:

The UK,

France,

Germany,

Belgium,

Netherlands,

Spain,

Portugal,

Italy,

Switzerland,

Denmark and the Scandinavians, 

Iceland, and

“Etc.” for anyone else I overlooked.

Some of them are worse off than others, but all are salvageable and all are (for now) better off than the dead USA. Make of it what you will. Watch the rest of Europe! The right is rising and the people are getting tired of being lied to and dominated by (decimated by) the globalists. There will be positive changes! If you’re part of it, I’d appreciate that postcard. 

With regard to any of these alternatives, it is important to put aside any of the mainstream lies you have been told by the corporate-CIA media and your “schools.” Also, kindly discount or take with a grain of salt the “advice” you may have received from most Gen Xers and nearly all older generations about everything political and economic in these nations. Their pitiful obsession with taxes, rights, equality, and the rest of it blinded them to the destruction of their own nation; who really cares what they say about other lands? Yes, things are different elsewhere, but they work. And again, they’ll keep working while America fights her last wars and afterward, regardless of what happens in North America.

And! We’re not quite done with Europe yet. Next, we’ll investigate a few “smaller” options out of a medium-sized collection of tiny nations. After that? Well, there are more places outside of the US and Europe to consider. We’ll name a few at least. And then, finally, the time will come to discuss the potential and likely future of America and the United States.

ESTONIA and the BALTIC STATES

ESTONIA and the BALTICS

“Estonia and the Baltics” isn’t a band, but I guess it could be. Welcome to Part Seven: Estonia, and the Baltic States!

PART I: Poland

PART II: Slovakia

PART III: Hungary

PART IV: Poland 2.0

PART V: Romania (and Moldova)

PART VI: Austria, Slovenia, Croatia (with Czechia)

Pack your parka, because today we’re off to the lands beside the Baltic Sea. It can get just a wee bit cold there. We’re also straying deeper into territory that I honestly know little about, other than what I have (briefly) researched. I will say that a good friend vacationed in Estonia a few years ago and almost didn’t come back, saying he’d found the prettiest women on Earth. Above the pleasant aesthetics, note that I’m still running off of my three primary civilizational demographic requirements. 

We’re moving very fast, and a little loose now, but I am more convinced than ever that this series is not a good, but a great idea for the right young people. It has come to my wandering attention that the Sanders camp, having been robbed once again by the DNC, has been given a consolation prize, a chance to forge potential policies with Team Biden. Buried somewhere very deep within THIS RELEASE (like page 107), after hundreds of lies, fantasies, and luciferian drivel, is the beginning of the implementation of an old UN plan to flood the US (and, if permitted, Europe) with the third world. They literally envision moving the entire population of refugees and/or people who just want to move, from everywhere else into the United States. Imagine 500 million to 1 billion new incompatible arrivals. Then, imagine the Rwanda Genocide times 10,000. This is a pipe dream and obviously a back-burner issue for progressives. However, the fact that they have put it in writing tells us something, or it should. This potential nightmare is posited in addition to the rapidly approaching cataclysm already beginning to boil over. The deadly-serious joke these days goes, “don’t worry about reading ‘The Camp of the Saints,’ you’re living it.” If that’s true, then it’s the light version. The Sanders-Biden plan would be the extreme edition.

Again, if you are not responsible for the mess and do not wish to participate in its conclusion, then this advice is for you. You have your search engine of choice for the in-depth research, so I’m going to keep this as succinct as possible, starting with,

ESTONIA

This nation is on the list, along with the others, because of cohesiveness. In Estonia, Estonians and Russians account for some 93% of the population, and virtually everyone, 100%, is European! The Russians came from a USSR immigration program and were originally viewed as problematic. However, assimilation over the passing decades has largely been a success, a successful mixing of cousins, so to speak. 

Not dissimilar to the Czech Republic, the Estonians lack a definitive Christian majority (roughly a third identify as Christian, mostly Eastern Orthodox and Lutheran). However, unlike in Czechia, a great majority are “believers” to one degree or another and the number of outright atheists is small. Before World War II, the country was 80% Lutheran. Thanks, commies.

The national average hovers around, or just over the normative, Northwestern European average – high above the falling US.

The language is Estonian, which is related to Finnish.

Recently, they have tilted a little to the left, though not nearly as far or as fast as other Western countries. The great majority of the people still take pride in traditions – now coupled with ultra-modern living and convenience. Estonia holds full EU membership. 

It is one of the most advanced of countries, fully “developed,” free, though – perhaps because of the full advancement – a little expensive. It’s a coastal nation, with low hills, and it’s cool. Summer days generally hover around room temperature, and winter nights can be thirty or more degrees (F) below zero. But, they host four, full and lovely seasons. 

LATVIA

Rolling a little faster, now: Here, one finds 99% homogeneity, very similar to Estonia. However, the nation is 80%+ Christian, Lutheran, Roman Catholic, and Russian Orthodox. The intelligence quotient is high. The language is called Latvian. The geography and climate are quite similar to Estonia. Full Euro, with high GDP growth rates.

LITHUANIA

(Really moving along).

84% Lithuanian, 16% other Europeans. 80% or more Roman Catholic. IQ? Several points higher than the US. A climate and geography that are similar to Estonia and Latvia. Speak Lithuanian in a high income, developed environment. 

BELARUS

A little larger and inland, landlocked. Ethnically Belarusian and other Euros. 80% Eastern Orthodox, with more Roman Catholic, Greek Catholic, and various Protestants. An IQ like Lithuanian. Flat and cool. A developed economy where privatization is still in progress. They’re not on the Euro, using the “new” Ruble – theirs, not the Russians. They speak Russian and Belarusian, officially. 

Yes, these are now only glimpses. But, again, they’re presented for a reason. Duck and SP. If it works, great; don’t forget my postcard, perhaps with something about our new band? 

*I keep mentioning the postcard like the US will have mail delivery in a few years. Silly old Mr. Lovett…

AUSTRIA, SLOVENIA, SERBIA (and CZECHIA)

*If you’re joining us from TPC, welcome to the perhaps “too real” story. You may have missed a few episodes. Catch up via the following list!

Here follows part six in our series on European escape countries for young Americans fond of civilization. One might notice that I am now consolidating the nations a bit. 

PART I: Poland

PART II: Slovakia

PART III: Hungary

PART IV: Poland 2.0

PART V: Romania (and Moldova)

We’re going to pick up speed, now, by going quickly through three nations and an honorable mention. 

AUSTRIA

Set in the Alps, this is that second Switzerland and I mentioned in the column about third Switzerland, Slovakia. (For what it’s worth, I’m probably not going to cover the first CH, but do know it is also an option).

Austria is a member of the EU monetary union; the Euro is the currency. Now, unlike some of the first places I directed your attention towards, the Euro doesn’t necessarily stretch that far in places like Vienna. Austria is a wealthier nation, a descendant of imperial order, and comes with the prices associated with high-first-world living. And, a few of the modern problems…

Again, again, again, I started with Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary for a reason. Several, of course, but they (of the countries I know better) best fit my triple matrix of harmonious compatibility. Lest anyone still is riding the fence of uncertainty, I’m looking at high to ultra-high levels of homogeneity in the areas of race, religion, and intelligence – or the best amalgams I can find. For our intrepid Americans seeking a better life, that means: White, Christian, and an average IQ at least in the “average” range, the higher the better. Not that I have to defend these criteria, but these are the three best predictive measures of how well a community of humans get along – or not. An example, if there might be a lingering doubt or two: 99% White, 95% Catholic, 100-IQ Poland is stable, pleasant, and cohesive; 60% White, 60% Christian, 92-IQ Amerika is … turn on the news. (I previously gifted some advice to others of goodwill, and likely will do so again ere long).

So, Austria is vast majority Euro-ethnic, with the great majority of the population being Austrians, and most (but not all) of the rest being from other European nations. Modernity is inserting her hideous head by bringing a variety of outsiders, similar to the migratory situation in Germany and France, though it is of much lower statistical and absolute numeric magnitude. The bad part of the equation is that, though the process of diversification is in its infancy, it has commenced. The good part is that the Austrians are awake to the issue. Politically, the traditionally-defensive hard right is rising. They recently elected – and then canned – the Wunderkind, What’s-his-name; canned after delivering performance one might expect from someone just out of high school or whatever (yeah, I’m talking about your g-g-generation – you’re ready to move, but not lead … not yet). But, they’re on the job and can (will) fix any issues before they become martial in nature (one really hopes).

Christianity-wise, the up-to-date stats are a little fuzzy, but it appears that Austria is still at least 80% Faithful, with most being some form of Catholicism. Interestingly enough, the government imposes a 1% Ecclesiastical tax (a tithe of a tithe) on Christians for the support of their Churches. 

Brain power-wise, the nation stands just over the WAIS/SB normative average of 100 and shows no signs of dropping. (In the great defense, many or most of the non-EU newcomers are from places with higher than average IQs (ie, China)).

You know the drill: they have culture, schools, jobs, immigration rules, real estate, firearms, supermarkets, etc. Duck and SP. And, of course, they write and vocalize words. German is the majority language – find it at Babs or Duo. Here, I’ll let the immortal Falco (and friends) help you with that:

 

SLOVENIA

How do you know this little nation already? That’s right! It’s the homeland of First Lady, Melania Trump, indicative of how the average woman appears and carries herself. Good, God! Get off the Orbitz! I have just a little more…

Slovenia is 83% Slovenes and at least 93% Euro (probably more like 98% Euro). Again, the country is around 80% Christian, with the great majority being Roman Catholic. A sign of the times: the RC contingent was over 97% decades ago. You can help with a revival, certainly. They are smart people, averaging close to Austria, far ahead of flagging Amerika, and showing no signs of coming down. 

And, they all live it what appears to be a living fairy tale. Yes, yes, they speak and use money. They have laws, customs, and such. THE DUCK! But, while you do your research, make sure you look at some pictures – just SP “Slovenia” for starters. I got mountains (they’re Alpine, largely), castles, and … the water. You’ll notice waterfalls in rocky dells. In caves. Bluewater with white foam. It’s almost as pretty as Melania. Accelerate your Travelocity if you must, but I’m moving on to,

CROATIA

Here, we back up into, once again, the Balkans and what some might consider “frontier” “eastern” Europe. Consider it what you will – just take a look. A hard look. They have all the pluses and some of the minuses of any modern nation. But, like Poland and Slovakia, they have uniformity. Virtually all of the people – 99.5% – are European in origin. Over 90% are Christian. Again, I found IQ stats that made me ask questions. Suffice to say, these utterly homogeneous people are at least on par with Amerikans. And, as with a few other “developing” Easterns, I suspect the rise as Amerika falls. I leave this nation to your imagination and your astute research. The same goes for many of the surrounding Balkan nations. Another neighboring entry was suggested to me by a reader, though I have chosen to ignore it as it does not quite fit within the parameters of my test – which is not to say it isn’t a great place.

CZECH REPUBLIC (Honorable Mention)

I’m including this nation, which was also suggested to me by another reader, on a thin margin. Ethno-demographic, they’re as pure as Slovakia or Poland, and, like Poland and Hungary, they are fighting with the EU over they’re steadfast refusal to admit the third world. That’s fantastic, as is much else (almost everything else) in the land, to include the half-a-standard deviation higher than the US IQ. It’s the lack of Christianity that holds them back or down. Bluntly speaking, there are just too many atheists who register as such, along with too many “unaffiliated” or “undeclared” persons. This could be a statistical error or a lingering effect of Nazism and communism, but by the numbers, followers of Christ are a minority. I’m looking for the trifecta. You, upon greater delving that I performed – not necessarily a difficult undertaking – may find positives to outweigh my concerns. If so, then great. She was added for a reason. If you and the reason meet amicably, remember my postcard, please.

Fact and Fiction: ROMANIA AND MOLDOVA

Now, part five in this series, a look at a slightly different kind of Euro nation, Romania – with Moldova added as a bonus.

PART I: Poland

PART II: Slovakia

PART III: Hungary

PART IV: Poland 2.0

First, some series-related good news: Our second and third nations, Slovakia and Hungary, have entered into (another) cooperative agreement to ensure growth and prosperity in both nations into this decade. Among pooled resources to combat the likely CIA/DOD-based pandemic, the two coherent nations will further expand border crossing and a gas pipeline, among other items. A strange note for Americans to grasp: neither country will be robbing the other or off-shoring native jobs. Things are different when things are better.

And now, Romania.

Much like Poland and Hungary, this free, Christian country wedged between Hungary and the Black Sea has the unadulterated desire to see its families and children prosper. As such, the legislature has just passed reforms that will kill globo-pedo perverted sex education in the schools and which ban gender “studies” in colleges. They did their time under communism and have, apparently, had more than enough of it. Of course, some of us realized that (or should have) back around Christmas of 1989 when, during the short, happy Revolution, the good people dispatched Secretary-General Nicolae Ceaușescu and his wife via firing squad. (Always shoot the communist dictators!)

Since then, it’s been throttle-down for freedom, wealth, and general happiness in Romania. The Faith of the People plays a huge role in that as does the nature of the people themselves. They are almost entirely ethnic Romanians, with a handful of other, related peoples (and some Gypsies) sprinkled in for seasoning. The overwhelming majority are Christians, 80+ percent of them belonging to the Orthodox Church. 

Again, I wasn’t that happy with the average intelligence estimates I found. However, as-is, they are essentially tied with the dying US Empire in terms of raw IQ. The differences, I believe, are several. I don’t think they have had the necessary spread of testing in order to accurately gauge the measure. They are, while now a “first” world nation, still technically developing; they are – in terms of roads, schools, opportunities, agriculture, etc. – roughly where the USE is. However, as we decline precipitously, they, still recovering from Stalin’s boot, are rising. I suspect that at the end of this decade when the USE is … ailing … they will be closing on par with their neighbors regarding academic ability, opportunity, and ingenuity. 

The fact that I have lumped these fantastic people and their rich heritage into this series should tell you something. I need not, nor will not, continue to repeat myself with all facets of the various societies. They’re members of the EU, they have money, you can learn Romanian, etc. Duck and Start Page all of that.

Instead, I’ll cover that matter that’s been eating at your brain since you first read “Romania,” above. Yes, this is the home of Vlad Dracula – the very real Impaler and the vampiric notion of Bram Stoker’s keen mind. When you go for your exploratory visit – and, again, you need to look before you leap – you can be part of the zany history of these interrelated characters! 

There are much speculation and debate as to which castle or fortress was the exact home of whom or inspiration for what. They have castles like we have Waffle Houses. Start with this one, which may have had less to do with the historical Prince than some would— Just start there, okay? And, should you get tired of the keep-hopping, then make plans to retire for the evening at the favorite lodging of the fictional Count … Hotel Castle Dracula! Yeah, I must admit that it looks more than half like a tourist trap, but hey – the rooms and eats look inviting and the scenery is amazing. Note: I do not know whether this has to do with the Hoax of 20 or something else, but various sources are reporting booking difficulty and/or possible closure. ?? You got me. Whatever. Just remember to enter freely and of your own free will and leave something of the happiness you bring! Ha, I crack myself up…

Okay! The bonus. Next door, to the east of Romania and in between Ukraine and the Black Sea, one finds the lovely, little, overlooked country of,

MOLDOVA. (No, I’m not making any of these places up) 

This gem of a nation and a people is rather related, in terms of people, culture, and history, with Romania, Hungary, and Poland – it fits with our exploration. And, it is remarkably homogeneous and unmolested by the Twenty-first Century! It’s essentially 100% one People, and 95% of them are Christians (93% Orthodox). The language – Duck or SP it! – is similar to Romanian while the IQ is closer in line with Poland. 

Moldova is another “developing” Euro nation, perhaps a little behind, economically, Romania. Climate-wise, it is much the same – a “cool” kind of place. And, there, one can find that a “Saiga” isn’t just a Russian tactical shotgun! (You’ll see…) And, like just about anywhere I’d steer you, it’s a beautiful land full of beautiful people. Again, this is a traditional place that is rising while maintaining the ways that made it what it is. 

Take a closer look and see if you might be a good fit for their great future. If so, whether it’s from Romania or Moldova, kindly remember my postcard. Thanks.

GENERAL NOTES: 

This occurred to me sometime during my processing of viable civilizations: if you go, try to make yourself indispensable. As I mentioned a few posts ago, do not be that girl, who tries to Yankee-ize your new home; fully blend in. In doing so, find some way you can contribute to the community. It will help you learn more about them and how to mirror their culture and it will cause them to love and want you. Be a stand-in [Pole, Slovak, Hungarian, or Moldovian] that they wouldn’t ever dream of wanting to lose … or get rid of. I think the magnitude and importance of this sentiment will become more manifestly obvious as the decade drags on.

Also, I must admit that, as noted briefly above, this entry might lack a little of the steam that powered its predecessors. Maybe it’s just me and the fact that this is part five. But, if it’s so, then remember that it is difficult to keep up the intensity, repeating great things in and about various categories, over and over for a wide field of nations, each excellent. All of the countries I’m covering are here for a reason. They all at least pass my three-part test for high homogeneity, Christianity, and an average intelligence that meets or exceeds that of the US (an increasingly easy feat). In many ways, depending on the definition, the places I’m covering are more Western than the West (or, are just parts of it). 

Travel Tip #1234: I’ve hinted at this before, but there is an added word of caution or concern if one rents an automobile in the Eastern nations of Europe. They’re all EU and Schengen, but the insurance companies have some funny restrictions. You can still go, but they have extra charges (imagine that) based on travel into what they (the insurance cabal) describes as the northern and southern zones of the Eastern Schengen area. Undoubtedly, your rental company will explain this and assist you in lightening the wallet accordingly. Just make sure you’re up-front about the itinerary. These being modern cars, one can safely assume they’ll know where you’ve been – and rat you out at your expense. There’s also the matter of toll passes and a few more small things. Consult Auto Europe for cursory information.

Next time, we go … to some other great nation.
