Washington targets Europe again, lining up its strong men

Anna Chen – 12 November 2025, Washington

The mask of democracy is shredded. Trump’s ‘Joker in the White House’ goes full-blown SPECTRE. The Left rubs the sleep out of its eyes and says, wha-a-at? I’m glad to see a dawning realisation that Washington’s plans for Europe are less than benign, but it’s a bit late.

As Britain plummets in a self-inflicted nosedive, Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, seizes on social unrest and economic weakness to shake us up ready for regime change: “We can coup whoever we want.” Musk, like his namesake derived from anal glands, gives off a pungent whiff that’s descended on our little island, battering away at the nation’s foundational belief in itself, already strained by misfeasance.

Giving the British Empire remnant a taste of its own medicine, he has the cheek to destabilise with character assassination and magnifies problems both real and invented with dire calls to armed insurrection. Hey, that’s our schtick! You’d laugh at the irony if it weren’t for the innocents bearing the brunt of these power plays, like blades of grass trampled beneath fighting elephants. Starmer may be a bastard but he’s our democratically-elected bastard, and it’s up to us to have the wherewithal to replace him, not an American businessman.

The establishment can’t believe it. Us? You’re doing this to us?

For Musk, Tommy Robinson – Britain’s Navalny – is coup leader of choice. For the BBC, the leader-in-waiting is Nigel Farage, whom they’ve been grooming for years.

The nation’s fault-lines are cracking, and predators are working away at them until they give. The second-hand car dealer just beat the estate agent in the right-wing civil war at the state broadcaster, where the Tory Zionist camp under Robbie Gibb won victory over Tory China-hawk Director General, Tim Davie.

Gibb, appointed by Boris Johnson to the helm of a sclerotic BBC on its uppers, and whose convenient arrangement of a loan to the impecunious prime minister of £800K from a “long-lost American relative”, might be suspected of cynical, underhand manipulation of our democracy.

Plucked from pub-bore obscurity by the nation’s public-service broadcaster, Nigel Farage is about to set the record for most appearances on BBC flagship Question Time — around 36 in the 21st century despite only having been an MP since the 2024 election. What they’ve forgotten is: you’re supposed to make this stuff invisible. Of the two sets of narratives about the BBC — too left, and too right — the public can see which is which. But, in most Goebbelesque fashion, they keep pounding out the same lies until truth is worn out by sheer repetition.

Europe was placed firmly in the US elite’s crosshairs years ago. Washington’s favourite academic, Niall Ferguson, laid out the objective to dismantle Europe in 2011 with his “Killer Apps” blueprint soon after Obama fell into line with long-established deep-state objectives via his Pivot to Asia. Even before that, Dick Cheney had pinpointed Ukraine as a hammer against Russia in 1991, straight after the fall of the USSR even though Jim Baker had promised Gorbachev, “not an inch eastwards” for NATO.

The 2008 economic meltdown had exposed US vulnerability. However, far from showing gratitude to China for its rescue of American capitalism, any rising entity that demonstrated greater power for good or bad had to be contained or destroyed. Ferguson took the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) and ran with it. The Heritage Foundation is only the latest iteration.

China’s Belt and Road Initiative was floating Europe out of the economic dangers of America’s Great Crash too well for America’s liking. A Eurasia united in peaceful, prosperous, productive trade, was a Three Body Problem that left the US in the cold.

Brexit was the move that torpedoed the EU as a bloc able to withstand Washington and nailed the UK to the US. It may say “neither Washington nor Moscow” on the mug but it’s mostly a big cup of DC that we’ve swallowed.

It’s not only Washington-friendly Farage who brought us the Brexit disaster. All those leftist Lexiteers like Galloway, Stop The War and Jeremy Corbyn, who actually secured the triggering of Article 50 and threw the 2017 general election despite around 70 percent of Labour voters choosing Remain, have a lot to answer for. As do the pearl-clutching Biden Democrats who ushered in the monster who wants to deliver the coup de grace and wrap it all up in a MAGA bow in his second term. Not that the Dems would have been any different ultimately, but might have been slower, giving what passes for intelligentsia the time to wake the eff up.

The Ukraine proxy war against resource-rich Russia was US-led NATO’s second bite at the Europe cherry, having already split Yugoslavia in 1998. Listening to the Stop The War convenor on BBC Radio 4’s Any Questions earlier this year blaming Putin for the conflict that’s wrecking Europe and declining to criticise NATO should have ended any delusions in the British Trotskyist left. Neither did I see any hint of a critique in their programme for their summer school, revived this year, which platformed some of the biggest names on the left. Instead, they toe the Washington/UK line on China.

I’ve been pointing this out for years, warning about what was shaping up but, you know, it takes ten “Chinamen” to equal one white voice and all that.

As ever, nothing is true unless a white person says it is true. In terms of changing the world rather than describing it, this debate should have started years ago. No-one is talking to each other outside of podcast gatekeeping. The ability to organise anything other than the odd protest is forgotten. Commentators who build their brand while cancelling “strategic competition” do the work of the state.

Reinventing the wheel gets us precisely here.

The British Crown still owns 89 percent of Canada. As antediluvian as that sounds, it means that shrill calls to make Canada America’s 51st state are actually direct pressure on the UK to comply.

No wonder Trump got his second state visit with nobs on. How nice of Starmer to set it up. I’d like to see a read-out of that behind-the-scenes conversation between Trump and King Charles.
