I'm not so much into sports these days, but with all the ongoing hype around the Olympic opening ceremony in Paris, I can't stay on the sidelines. Additionally, the opening ceremony (and the actual organisational work from the ceremony itself to the accommodation of athletes) mirrors perfectly what is currently going on in Europe. Now, since it has been almost a week since the ceremony itself and we already have the first comments regarding Meloni's visit to China, it's time to discuss the topic......aaand wtf does Meloni have to do with the Olympics... ...aaaaand why Ursula again :)

Actually, we start with something else and then move to the opening ceremony. You'll get my logic.

Europe is out of money. There is no money for education, culture, social programmes, sports, defence and so on and so on. That's it.

When making such statements, we need to provide arguments. Obviously. Yeah, we as humans perceive negative information more willingly and better generally, so a lot of bloggers, as well as any other media resources are using this. I don't want to go that way. So, once again, arguments: causes and effects - all in the traditional style of optimistic realism.

Let's start with the country I love. Italy. The Italian Ministry of Culture is sitting on a source of money incomparably bigger for Italy than oil and gas for today's Mordor. Simply an eternal stream of tourists, Americans are back, so the money is supposed to be hitting culture like an avalanche. What do we see actually? The Italian Ministry of Culture is late in paying a salary to 12,000 employees (the link). At the same time, there are talks that the normal process of issuing and reviewing licences in the Italian film industry is also being delayed. In this industry, licensing equals subsidies, so take a guess where I am going.

Italy is a big country. The cultural heritage, which is currently located on its territory, is indisputable + taking into account my warmest feelings mentioned above, allows me to provide more information compared to other countries, but I am confident that the situation in other EU countries is similar. In Estonia and Finland, for example, they just say that we need to send money to Ukraine. End of the line. Yeah, that is why we need to raise the VAT.

Where am I going with that? Have you heard about any ministerial resignations, changes in cabinets or investigations lately?

Back to Italy. Meloni and her lads have confirmed their opposition to Ursula. At the same time, it is a fact that the election process took place behind closed doors. An absolutely amoral, politically short-sighted, poker face masseur-gynaecologist under investigation was re-elected in secret. We know that negotiations with Meloni's people did take place and that it would be difficult for Ursula to be re-elected without such support. So, no change of paradigm here as well.

As if someone would be afraid to touch the house of cards.

Meloni is on a five-day visit to China. Minister of fighting and bleeding Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba spent less time there, although the lives of Ukrainians depend on that visit. After all the unsuccessful attempts of Scholz, Macron, my fav Ursula and others.

Aight, lads! Almost all pieces of the puzzle are together now, but before we go to Paris, let me add one more thing... Why am I writing all this, especially if I stated that I have no plans to either hype the topic or engage in scaring readers? The above is the analysis and a certain point of view on current events. I want readers to understand what is happening and be able to make decisions taking into account this vector described above. All information looks like noise until you break the code. (c)

The impending catastrophe in Europe will manifest, as is usually the case, in the financial sphere and even greater restrictions on the freedoms of the population. Catastrophes always express themselves in money and in the degree of freedom to dispose of this money, limiting the level of freedom and justice in general, and so on. But this crisis is not financial in itself. This crisis is systemic. It's a crisis of governance. By and large, Europe does not lack anything. Even the shortage of some energy resources, under normal management, would be quite replenishable. But at present, the puppeteers and their puppets have mismanaged to such an extent that they have come to a systemic crisis from which they can neither go back, nor forward, nor sideways. How is this expressed? Well, look, for example, at the opening of the Olympics (ufff… finally).

Usually, some individual episodes are discussed, without going to the picture. The Seine River, the pathetic boat rental, the supposed-to-be-hellish Satanism, the analogy with The Last Supper (the cosplay, by the way, not unambiguous, considering the location of the fresco in Milan), the Conciergerie, Marie Antoinette with a singing head, "Ça ira, Ça ira", blue singing smurfs and so on and so on.

Nothing mind-blowing, no novelty. Instead - pathetic troughs, standard illumination, and a laser show from the late 80s.

That is, many people liked this laser show. It's great that they liked it, but honestly, was it something new and unusual?

Imagine what show China would put on. Imagine millions of drones participating in that show, how coordinated would the interaction of robotics be, the special effects, what would be the dramaturgy of the spectacle...

The opening of these Olympics amazed only with wretchedness and shabbiness. I can't explain this event by anything other than a lack of money.

Not building new platforms, innovative projects, stadiums and modern Olympic villages, but instead floating athletes on some buckets down the river, waving a head in the windows - this is much cheaper after all. The meaning of all this revolutionary hellish hell is the French word épatage. And why? One more time - to hide poverty behind this facade. All attention should be riveted to the outrage to distract from the main thing - it's cheap, it's poor. I was born in '85, and I don't remember a more miserly opening of the games than Paris 2024, even without taking into account the coefficient of time and technical capabilities.

Lemme leave some links here, here and here.

We return to where we started. There's no money. We're in the middle of a crisis. This crisis is managerial. Europe is governed disgustingly at all levels. It is managed by a community that can neither be reformed, nor changed or removed. In its development, Europe is far behind not only China and the USA but, in many parameters, Turkey.

From this point, there are two ways out:

1. To change the entire management paradigm (10 points from my first post) or...

2. To oppress the population. That is more rigid restrictions (wuzzup, Christine!!), CBDCs and all that, and coverage of all movements of funds in the EU, for beginning a "new era", writing off all sins to this "great transition", and living according to new orders.

Today, it is impossible to enact reforms halfway. Shuffling deck chairs on this ship will sink it faster. That is why Italy is mentioned as an example above. That is why Ursula and that is the point of view from which I am looking at Paris (Olympics it is). Making a small hole in the balloon to let out a little air… it just doesn’t work like that. Any new person, even if they do nothing, will collapse the entire building just by hinting at reforms. Everyone making decisions understands this, and the goal is to buy time.

They can’t just print a ton of money. Draghi managed it once, but now the EU can’t conduct its monetary policy without considering its partners – the times have changed, international relations are different, and the amount of money needed is on a completely different scale. Buying up Italy’s or any other EU country’s bonds won’t solve the problem today. Now, they need to buy bonds from every country, all of them. Even ze Germans, under the clown Scholz’s leadership, are struggling with donor funds. Printing that much money wouldn’t just spur inflation, it would turn the EU into Zimbabwe.

What else could they do? The other option is to borrow money. But what collateral can modern Europe offer? The savings of its citizens, perhaps.

Theoretically, it could pique the interest of the Arabs or the Chinese. The US is preoccupied and not particularly inclined to negotiate with the Europeans at the moment, and Europe, on the other hand, simply doesn’t have time until next year. BOden is on his way out, Kamala will be cautious about making any decisions early on, and Trump, with his team, will opt for the simplest solutions to any problems… and this isn’t a straightforward case. That’s why we haven’t seen a single visit from any European bureaucrat to the USA. Scholtz, Macron, Ursula - they all have returned from China with nothing. Now, it's Giorgia's turn and looks like they have agreed on something there, which in fact turns Meloni into the first politician in Europe.

Almost a week of face-to-face negotiations looks like a suitable timeline for new and raw agreements.

But even if China gives some money to Europeans, once again, it will be a temporary solution - a temporary solution until it is clear who takes the White House to conclude a new agreement (or even two agreements) regulating the work of CBDCs or a bigger freedom of European monetary politics. If that won't work, they will ask for money from Mordor.

I am European. I do believe that Europe is the best place to live. It is a beautiful place in terms of arts, culture, weather, and simply everything. But if they succeed with the CBDC plan as they see it (and I don't mean the obvious digital development of the monetary system, which I fully support. No. I mean the digital labour camp), that will force me to look for another living place. Most Europeans will stay in the barn, so as I still want to work and create, I just don't see another way. But that is the worst-case scenario. The good thing is, that such a system won't last long, but still, they will love your brain out for at least a couple of years. Another possibility is a total managerial failure and collapse of the current system together with a financial crisis. And that is a better option :) There are talks about the civil war in Europe, but I don't see that option to be the case. So, looking for a job outside of the EU and continuing living here for now. Winter is coming.
