Cocksure Deputy Sheriff
Global Townfolk,
Do watch 18 minutes of JD Vanceaddressing European military and political elites yesterday in Munich.
"There's a new sheriff in town" he says with steely eyes.
He went into the room like that one Texas Ranger with a Gatling gun, sent to disperse a crowd of striking workers...
Deputy JD Vance was unflinchingly, word-perfectly, aiming and shooting each and all of them in the face as he looked them directly in the eyes.
It is a bit disturbing. My words are not your own viewing of it.

Foreign Policy says: Vance Leaves Europe Gobsmacked U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance delivered a rebuke on immigration and alleged censorship to a shocked Munich Security Conference. “A New Sheriff in Town”
When Vance took the stage in Munich, most people were expecting him to hold forth on the topics that had animated the huddles and discussions around the venue leading up to his speech: European defense spending and the fate of Ukraine.
But those subjects only got a passing sentence each. Instead, Vance spent the bulk of his 20 minutes on stage criticizing what he characterized as a European retreat from the West’s “shared democratic values” driven by excessive censorship of free speech.
“The Cold War positioned defenders of democracy against much more tyrannical forces on this continent. Consider the side in that fight that censored dissidents, that closed churches, that canceled elections—were they the good guys? Certainly not, and thank God they lost,” Vance said.
“Unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, it’s sometimes not so clear what happened to some of the Cold War’s winners,” he added, before rattling off a list of examples aimed at illustrating his point: European Union officials’ threats to shut down social media “the moment they spot what they’ve judged to be ‘hateful’ content,” Germany’s raids on people posting misogynistic speech online, Sweden’s jailing of an activist who burned the Quran in public, and “safe access zones” around abortion clinics established in the United Kingdom.
For Europeans and others watching, Vance had a MAGA message: “In Washington, there is a new sheriff in town, and under [U.S. President] Donald Trump’s leadership, we may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer it in the public square,” he said, to scattered and hesitant applause—one of the few times he got any.
“Utterly, utterly frightening.” Several times in his speech, Vance singled out Romania, which late last year annulled its elections due to alleged Russian interference uncovered by Romania’s security services and is scheduled to hold them again. “You can believe it’s wrong for Russia to buy social media advertisements to influence your elections—we certainly do—you can condemn it on the world stage, even. But if your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred thousand dollars of digital advertising from a foreign country, then it wasn’t very strong to begin with,” he said.
The U.S. vice president also spoke at length about the alleged threat posed by immigration, a major right-wing talking point on both sides of the Atlantic that he described as the most “urgent” challenge the nations represented in Munich face. “In England, they voted for Brexit—agree or disagree, they voted for it,” he said. “And more and more all over Europe, they’re voting for political leaders who promise to put an end to out-of-control migration.”
Most of the speech was met with stunned silence. “Gobsmacked” was a word used repeatedly in the aftermath, and SitRep overheard one attendee walking out of the Bayerischer Hof describe the speech as “utterly, utterly frightening.”
One senior European official, who spoke to SitRep on the condition of anonymity, said Vance “did something whilst being in Germany that Germans are pretty good at: Teaching lessons to others.”
Another official had far stronger words. “It was total bullshit. We don’t know what planet he is on,” the official said. “At least when we met Keith Kellogg, we could talk geopolitics,” they added, referring to Trump’s special envoy for Russia and Ukraine. “With Vance, we can’t even agree what a democracy is.”
Whither Europe? While Vance told Europe early on in his speech that “we are on the same team,” the more lasting impression appears to have been left by his final words: “Good luck to all of you, God bless you.”
Conversations we’ve been having with European officials in Munich over the last two days have betrayed deep concerns about the United States’ status as a reliable partner, even amid a recognition that Europe must do status as a reliable partner, even amid a recognition that Europe must do more for its own defense. “A stronger Europe works with the United States to deter the threats we have in common as partners, and this is why we believe that trade wars and punitive tariffs make no sense,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said onstage to loud applause earlier in the day, a veiled swipe at Trump’s Thursday move to slap reciprocal tariffs on all U.S. trading partners.
Vance, who took the stage right after her, didn’t mention trade at all. But his speech drove home a key message for former Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis. “If that wasn’t a wake-up call for Europe, I don’t know what is,” Landsbergis told Foreign Policy. “We have to get our act together and figure out how to manage our problems on our own.” https://foreignpolicy.com/2025/02/14/vance-speech-munich-msc-russia-ukraine-censorship-free-speech/
From Zero Hedge, also with video snippets: European Leaders 'Horrified' After JD Vance Slams Censorship Laws To Their Faces In his first major speech on the international stage, Vice President JD Vance criticized European leaders for allowing mass migration and extreme laws censoring speech, remarking that he worries more about Europe’s “threats from within” than from external threatslike Russia and China.
“While the Trump administration is very concerned with European security and believes we can come to a reasonable settlement between Russia and Ukraine … the threat that I worry the most about vis-à-vis Europe is not Russia, it’s not China, it’s not any other external actor,”said Vance.
“What I worry about is the threat from within – the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the United States of America.”... Vance called them out for embracing authoritarian policies and using “ugly Soviet era words like misinformation and disinformation” to enact laws marginalizing populist voters.
As an example of Europe’s draconian attacks on on free speech, the veep cited a recent egregious case in Great Britain: “A little over two years ago, the British government charged Adam Smith Conner, a 51-year-old physiotherapist and an Army veteran, with the heinous crime of standing 50 meters from an abortion clinic and silently praying for three minutes, not obstructing anyone, not interacting with anyone, just silently praying on his own,” Vance recounted. “After British law enforcement spotted him and demanded to know what he was praying for, Adam replied simply, it was on behalf of the unborn son.”
Vance said the man was “found guilty of breaking the government’s new buffer zone law which criminalizes silent prayer and other actions” that could influence a woman’s decision to have an abortion within 200 yards of an abortion clinic. The man ended up having to “pay thousands of pounds to the prosecution” for praying. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/european-leaders-horrified-after-jd-vance-slams-censorship-laws-their-faces
Larry Johnson, JD Vance Gobsmacks NATO If Pete Hegseth’s Wednesday gut punch was not enough to rile up the European grifters, JD Vance jumped into the ring and did a body slam in a speech today at the opening of the Munich Security Conference. It lasted approximately 20 minutes and was met with mostly stony silence. The Eurocrats were not a happy lot. Vance made the following key points:
Internal Threats: Vance argued that the primary threat to Europe comes “from within,” not from external actors like Russia or China.
Free Speech: He accused European governments of censoring free speech and retreating from fundamental democratic values.
Immigration: Vance described immigration as the most “urgent” challenge facing European nations.
European Defense: He briefly mentioned that Europe must significantly enhance its own defense capabilities.
Ukraine Conflict: Vance touched on the Ukraine war, expressing hope for a “reasonable settlement” following President Trump’s announcement about initiating peace talks with Russia’s Vladimir Putin... ..Let me remind you that it was precisely the leaders of EU countries—German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President François Hollande—who not long ago openly admitted that they never actually intended to implement the Minsk agreements, despite previously assuring the world otherwise. Their official position now is that the Minsk agreements were merely an attempt to rearm Kyiv and “buy it time.”
In other words, they pretended to be working in good faith on the Ukrainian issue while actually engaging in a harmful charade.
The problem is not just that they lied—everyone is used to that by now. The real issue is that they betrayed Europe’s interests, and this betrayal is one of the causes of the current tragedy.
The Minsk agreements became part of international law through their approval by the UN Security Council. This means they were legally binding.
Both Hollande and Merkel, as well as Italy’s leadership, knew this perfectly well then and understand it today. By violating international law—something they now openly admit—EU leaders became key accomplices in the catastrophe that unfolded in Ukraine. As a direct result of their actions, Europe now faces an armed conflict on its own continent. Had the Minsk agreements been implemented, Ukraine would have been saved, and at the same time, the current dire situation of EU citizens—whose well-being has significantly declined due to their leaders’ misguided, and at times outright criminal, decisions—would have been alleviated.
Looking even deeper, this was not only a personal betrayal by these leaders but also a reflection of the complete loss of independence in conducting a “sovereign” foreign policy. The European Union, as an integration bloc, and nearly all of its member states have become an extension of NATO, obediently following Washington’s directives. In this regard, the situation surrounding the sabotage and “investigations” of the Nord Streams is more than revealing.
Further confirming this is the vague comment from NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte about whether Putin’s phone call with Trump constitutes a “betrayal of Ukraine” by the West or not. Both the question and the answer are meaningless.
Let me repeat: The West betrayed Ukraine when it obstructed its democratic transition and independence, interfered in its internal affairs, pitted Ukrainians against Russians, incited Slavs against Slavs, then initiated an unconstitutional coup, lied about implementing the Minsk agreements, and ultimately provoked a bloodbath in the region.“ https://sonar21.com/jd-vance-gobsmacks-nato/
Rachel Marsden, Trump ejects from the Ukraine joyride, leaving the EU screaming in the backseat Western European leaders are having a meltdown because shutting them out from talks is the only way to peace Its leaders cribbed America’s talking points, completely oblivious as they indulged in economic seppuku.
The EU’s entire economy-wrecking “strategy” over Ukraine was based on the fantasy that they were America’s little bro, not being used as naive pawns in a grand game that would knock them right off the chessboard. If Washington had picked peace over profit from the start, the closest thing that the Euroclowns would have seen to a military confrontation with Russia in Ukraine would have been playing Sergeant Savoir-Faire back home, armed with a map of the nearest coffee shops and a five-course lunch.
And now the previously unthinkable has happened. The jig is upon Biden’s ridiculous scam of vowing to do “whatever it takes” for Ukraine to beat Russia on the battlefield – mainly by dumping cash into US weapons which miraculously get lost en route to the frontlines after the cheque clears. https://swentr.site/news/612724-trump-ukraine-european-leaders/

2/14/25 Chernobyl Nuclear Sarcophagus Hit By Drone; Ukraine Blames Russia Overnight, a drone carrying high explosives struck the nuclear sarcophagus covering the melted-down Reactor at the nuclear disaster site of Chernobyl. That cement sarcophagus seals-in the ongoing radiation leak from the destroyed Reactor inside.
Ukraine immediately blamed Russia, saying they found the engine from a "Russian Shahed Drone" at the explosion site.
A small fire at the explosion impact site was quickly put out. There is no Radiation leak from the explosion.
This comes just one day after the US made clear Ukraine cannot be in NATO, and US troops will NOT enter Ukraine as part of any peace plan.
It seems clear to most learned observers that Ukraine, the European Union, and in particular the UK, are now engaging in efforts to actually cause a radiation leak, so as to declare NATO Article 5, collective self defense, and FORCE an actual war between NATO and Russia. https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/world-news/chernobyl-nuclear-sarcophagus-hit-by-drone-ukraine-blames-russia

Simplicius, pessimistic about peace, has the most entertaining wrap-up: Munich Bloodbath Ruptures Western Order Wide Open It’s been another whirlwind day as the Munich Conference finally took off. The theme of the show was the epic confrontation between the US and European deep state, as represented by various comprador mouthpieces. But before it could even kick off, Zelensky felt the need to spritz on a little false flag for added effect, to make sure the tension of Russia’s imagined ‘threat’ can color the proceedings. And so, a ‘mystery drone’ was sent to hit the infamous Chernobyl reactor, piercing the sarcophagus shelter... ..Humorously, Arestovich just days ago foresaw that leading up to the Munich conference, Zelensky would predictably send a drone to hit either the “Kremlin dome” or a “nuclear power plant” for the obvious effect... ..Speaking of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, he blankly admitted his only purpose was to extract mineral concessions and obtain US ‘securities’ from Ukraine. [I suspect Bessent made Zelensky an offer-he-could-not-refuse]... ..The most devastating rumor of all—though there’s no corroboration to it yet—came from Ukrainian Rada MP Max Buzhansky, who claimed that (presumably secret) ‘proposals’ will be voiced in Munich to give Russia not only Ukrainian territory it currently controls, but even that which it does not... ..The obvious insinuation here is that the West is possibly considering Putin’s true proposals for a ceasefire, which include things like the full territories of Kherson and Zaporozhye. After all, Vance hinted something strange when he said that the deal would “shock” a lot of people... ..There is simply no getting around the fact that Trump and the US do not have the power—at the moment—to deliver Putin’s full demands list. And Putin almost certainly will not water down the demands about demilitarization, deNazification, and the four regions which have already constitutionally joined the Russian Federation.
Gilbert Doctorow makes an important point. What a difference a couple of days make in our appreciation of the Trump White House! The shake-out in German domestic politics is yet to come, hopefully at the ballot box on 23 February. It appears that after his speech to the Security Conference, Vance had meetings with both Alice Weidel of the Alternative for Germany and with Friedrich Merz of the Christian Democrats. If that should result in the formation of a new governing coalition in Germany, then the entire political orientation of Europe will be directed away from suicide and towards healthy realism.

Family describes Israel's 'cold-blooded murder' of pregnant daughter in West Bank's Nur Shams
Her mother, Mona, had prepared a crib for the baby and laid out clothes for the parent's to use. The crib is now empty, eternally. With tears that seem endless, Mona Shalabi, the mother of Sondos Jamal Muhammad Shalabi, a pregnant woman killed by the Israeli army last Sunday in the occupied West Bank's Nur Shams camp, described to The New Arabs the horrific details of her "cold-blooded murder".
Sondos, who was in the eighth month of her pregnancy, didn't pose any danger to the Israeli soldiers, her family said, and was simply seeking to help her injured husband.
Three bullets ended her life, and her dreams of being a mother for the first time, because her unborn baby, Saif, also died with her.

It's a wholesome idea with obvious problems: ABLECHILD: Kennedy’s Wellness Farms: Potential Home for “Exit Plans” from Psychiatric Medications So, for AbleChid’s purposes, Kennedy’s desire to make available to the public options for getting off prescribed drugs sounds like a legitimate concept, especially because the nation is now going into its second decade of what is being called a “mental health crisis.” The “crisis,” many would argue, is the excessive number of Americans being drugged for behavior modification.
What is unique about Kennedy’s “wellness farms” is that the lawyer and author will attempt to use tax revenue from legalized marijuana sales. So, those people smoking dope will actually be contributing to getting people off illegal and legal drugs. That’s an ironic concept that Kennedy believes would rely on peer-to-peer support and behavioral solutions.
For example, part of the wellness farm program would include addicts at drug free rehabilitation farms where addicts would learn farming, including livestock, tractors and machine maintenance and repair. A day in the life on a wellness farm also would include meditation, 12-step programs, and yoga. But the bottom line is that no drugs and medications would be allowed on property. https://joehoft.com/ablechild-kennedys-wellness-farms-potential-home-for-exit-plans-from-psychiatric-medications/
