Drowning in Lies
SteynonLine ^ | July 7, 2025 | Mark Steyn

On last week's Clubland Q&A, I recalled the summer of 2016, which I spent touring the Continent from the Côte d'Azur to southern Lapland interviewing female victims of sexual assault by migrants. (This was research for a book that I never got to write because, upon my return to the United States, I spent most of the next three years being sued by Cockwombling Cary Katz.) In particular, I spoke to dozens of women who no longer went themselves, and no longer permitted their children to go, to municipal swimming baths. I am not sure North Americans quite appreciate the centrality of public bathing in northern Europe. In my corner of New Hampshire, almost every rusting double-wide has its own above-the-ground swimming pool: Bathe Free or Die! In Germany and Scandinavia, where far more people - even in small rural towns - live in apartments, the local municipal pool is an important feature of the summer season.

Or used to be. A fairly typical vignette from that summer:

In Östersund I talked to a young lady whose daughter and her friends had been sexually assaulted in the municipal swimming baths by 'migrants'. The staff who witnessed it sized up the cocksure young lads, swimming in the pool (in defiance of regulations) in their urine-stained and malodorous underwear, and declined to attempt their removal.

'There must have been other men there,' I said. 'Didn't they do anything?'

My friend laughed. 'Swedish men are manginas,' she said - a portmanteau of 'man' and 'vagina' with which I was not hitherto familiar.

I visited the pool myself to see the Muslim men swimming in their grimy underpants and to ask the "guards" why the rules were not enforced.

Steyn’s Canadian, right?

That means he’s Europe-adjacent.

The cultural avalanche there is really killing him.

Rusting double wide. Every mobile home or rv I have seen, was skinned with aluminum.

‘Swedish men are manginas,’

“Crapservative party”

He’s good. The “so what?” focus gets the point across.

Sadly, the political parties in the West are all into that international, globalist fold.

In the US you’ll often hear the term “uniparty” describe this phenomenon.

These national parties want you to vote for them, BUT THEY DO NOT REALLY REPRESENT YOU OR THE NATION!

You see the same everywhere you look in the West, may it be the UK, Germany, France or the US...

The Western national politician represents the interests of the super-rich corporations and oligarchs and are supranational.

These super-rich oligarchs and corporations share certain interests from Amazon - ZF.

They have supra-national organizations entirely dedicated to this function, UN, NATO, WEF, Bilderberg... All ultimately demanding the subordination of national interests and sovereignty to further the free movement of goods and services, capital machinery, natural resources, labor, money and information.

That’s what this war in Ukraine is all about. Ask any American, how has this war made you more free, safe or wealthy and you’ll get a blank stare. This is a war of Western economic interests and expansionism where we decided to ignore Russian security interests, believing the Russians are not willing to pay the price to stop us.

These corporations and oligarchs do not care if a citizen from China or an EU/US does the manufacturing. They do not care if it’s an Indian or a British/US citizen on a call desk and in fact at one point, at the height of globalization, you had the US government (paid for by the US tax base and servicing the US public allegedly) looking at offshoring some of its services like call centers.

The political system runs off money just as much as it does off votes. Money pays for the campaigns, PACs, party. Money pays for the lobbying, makes the politicians and their families rich (buys them off), pays for the media and legal litigation.

On MOST issues where the popular opinion (majority) is opposed to those of this small minority of super-rich, the super-rich win. You basically have a small class of corporations and people in the US, say .001% of the population, get their way 60 - 70% (there are actual studies to back this up) of the time. Trade with China is the perfect example.

The majority of Americans did NOT support the off shoring of US manufacturing to China. Yet it did not matter if it was Bush H., Clinton, Bush W., Obama, or Biden. They all supported the same policies.

This goes so far, that instead of addressing (((massive policy failures))) which have led to declining birthrates in Western nations, they import cheap labor to sustain the tax base and labor pool in the West, basically replacing their population. This is true in the UK, Germany, France, US...

Merkel brining in 1.2 million Syrian refugees into Germany... Her own population didn’t support this. But it’s what the supra-national interests wanted, and Germany is facing a population decline.

If you say anything about it, they will marginalize you using fallacies (ad hominem attacks) calling you a racist, xenophobic, Islamophobic. They will claim you’re spreading hatred. There will be attempts to censor you, they will use the legal system to club you. Yes, they will stick law enforcement and the Intel service on you which like in the story “Animal Farm” are the dogs protecting the big fat swine that are acting against the interests of their own people (working the horse to death).

If you want to see that in action, just look at what is happening in Germany with the AfD or how the DOJ/FBI was weaponized against Trump: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/590487954/animal-farm-print-11x17

They come up with their faux economic models, pretend that there is moral virtue in all of this, and even preach this crap in schools (at least in the US the virtues of globalization are woven into the curricula): https://www.amazon.com/Lexus-Olive-Tree-Understanding-Globalization/dp/1250013747 (how globalization is a great thing)

When this guy talks about “crapservatives” he’s really talking about the same (in part unelected) jerks that you find in the US, Germany, and France, leading our nations.

Trump or an Orban (nationally minded politicians) are an anomaly.

Islam gets its way because - as we have known for almost forty years since the Rushdie fatwa - it threatens violence and, if it doesn’t get its way, it makes good on that threat. So, if you want to be taken seriously in such a world, you will have to be prepared to do the same thing. As an effete poofter nancy mangina who has made his living through words, I obviously regret having to move to the paramilitary phase, but, as Professor David Betz has concluded, Britain, France and Sweden, inter alia, are “past the tipping point”.

Like he said....

But I am saying that every self-respecting bikini-clad flame-tressed thunder-thighed Hausfrau should pursue these manginas down the sidewalk groping their arses every inch of the way until their poor put-upon posteriors have to be replaced by prosthetics from the same company that Somali pirate gets his from.

Europeans are becoming strangers in their own land? Truth is Europe is rapidly becoming a Muslim colony. The migrants are not seeking to assimilate... they intend to conquer. Sadly, the governments are seemingly in cooperation with this colonization. Tyranny and antisemitism is once again becoming prominent in places like Germany. Women and children being sexually assaulted by “migrants” is becoming commonplace. The Muslim 4th Reich perhaps? I speculate Hitler looks up from Hell and approves. 😈

According to the Urban Dictionary, ‘cockwomble’ is derogatory British slang for a person, usually male, who is prone to making outrageously stupid statements and-or inappropriate behaviour while having a very high opinion of their own wisdom and importance.

The talk of a European civil war has percolated up into the highest reaches of the old country’s intelligentsia. It’s all over European YouTube.

Polls are showing that British approval of the ruling class is hovering between 9% and 11%. The intellectuals consider that “danger” territory for the ruling class. The Irish are now in the streets protesting immigration policy. The antifa counter-protestors, paid by the government, look small and weak.

Our deep state propaganda media refuses to report this story. This situation bears watching.

I confess I am surprised that choking on the toxic smog of official lies is not now the leading cause of death in Germany.

Pure Steyn.
