Thursday [1 to 5]

(0523) Morning all … still dark. The sharp eyed might have noticed, Laze and Gem, that 1 to 5 these days is taking a lot to complete … this is because I’m also gathering, collating, posting at our other outlets, inc. X, doing correspondence. Purpose doing all that early is, just as with you, getting an overview of what’s happened overnight. (0636)

a) Alain Juillet, a veteran French intelligence figure who served as director of intelligence at France’s external intelligence service (DGSE) , has publicly stated that teams in power in Brussels do not hesitate to influence the course of elections in European Union member countries.

b) I found this ‘X’; I do not know if it is true – be careful. Péter Magyar (Tisza), the new Hungarian Prime Minister, drops a bombshell: This is Orbán’s policy… ONLY HARDER!!!  THE EU HAS BEEN TAKEN FOR A RIP-OFF!!! “We will maintain and strengthen the border fence. We’ll even repair the holes!”

c) Two brothers of Moroccan nationality, managers of several barbershops, are suspected of being at the heart of a large-scale migrant trafficking operation in the Tarn and Ariège regions.

d) France is facing record prison overcrowding. As of March 1st, prisons held 87,126 inmates for 63,353 places, representing an overall occupancy rate of 137.5%. In remand prisons, this rate reaches 168.4%….

e) A widely shared story by left-wing investigative outlet Correctiv in Germany, which claimed that at a “secretive” gathering ahead of the 2024 elections in Germany, several right-wing politicians and others discussed the possible deportation of two million migrants, was “plucked out of thin air”, according to a Berlin court.
