The Gateway Pundit has been warning for years that the European Union is run by ideologues who hate Western civilization, capitalism, and basic common sense. Now, even they can’t hide the sheer insanity anymore.
The EU: “Open the Strait of Hormuz because the world needs the oil and gas.”
Also the EU: “Let’s cement the gas wells in the Netherlands, flood the coal mines in Germany, ban shale gas exploration everywhere in Europe, because we don’t need the oil and gas.”

The facts are brutal and undeniable.
1. The entire planet runs on fossil fuels — and the EU knows it
The global economy, transportation, manufacturing, heating — everything — still depends overwhelmingly on oil, gas, and coal. Nuclear helps too, but the EU is busy shutting that down as well. When push comes to shove, even Brussels admits the obvious: the world needs fossil energy. That’s why they’re suddenly begging for the Strait of Hormuz to stay open. Without it, energy prices would explode higher than they already have.
2. Yet in Europe, the same bureaucrats are actively destroying their own fossil fuel infrastructure.
They’re cementing gas wells shut in the Netherlands. They flooded working coal mines in Germany. They’ve banned shale gas exploration across the continent. Nuclear plants? They’re decommissioning them too. All in the name of their insane “Green Deal” fantasy that has zero basis in reality or economics.
3. The result?
Europe is forced to buy fossil fuels from abroad at four times the price.
Instead of producing cheap, reliable energy at home, the EU now begs and pays premium prices to foreign suppliers — many of whom laugh at them while filling their coffers. Russia, Qatar, the United States, and yes, even Iran-linked sources get richer while Europeans freeze and factories close.
4. This is deliberately destroying European industry and condemning millions of families to poverty
Energy-intensive industries are fleeing the continent. Jobs are vanishing. Energy bills have skyrocketed. Families are choosing between heating their homes and putting food on the table. This isn’t “climate policy” — it’s economic suicide by design.
And here’s the part the mainstream media will never tell you: this isn’t stupidity. It’s ideological. We are talking about cultural Marxism in its purest, most destructive form.
Cultural Marxism
This is the legacy of the Frankfurt School and especially Herbert Marcuse (1898-1979). Faced with the total economic and intellectual collapse of classical Marxism, a new strain of “critical Marxism” emerged. It argued that the West isn’t dominated just through economics, but through culture itself. The goal? To tear down Western institutions, capitalism, and traditional values from the inside.
Marcuse — the closest thing the world of ideas has to a clinical psychopath — took it further. He mixed Marx with Freud in a toxic brew that claimed any “right-wing” opinion must be criminalized. Dissenters should be beaten, imprisoned, banished — eliminated.
This “kitchen Marxism,” stripped of any rational coherence but boiling with pure hatred for capitalism and the West, now dominates EU circles, especially the European Commission and its ideological twin, the European Court of Human Rights.
There is no grand conspiracy here — just a bunch of true believers, often unconsciously, marching to the same distorted ideological drumbeat. They hate fossil fuels not because they’re “dirty,” but because they represent energy independence, industrial power, and Western prosperity. Destroying those things is the entire point.
That’s not a joke. That’s the future they’re building: a weakened, impoverished, de-industrialized Europe fully submissive to globalist ideology and foreign energy masters.
Europe is transitioning to misery
Europe isn’t transitioning to “green energy.” It’s transitioning to poverty, dependency, and third-world status — all while lecturing the world about saving the planet.
The cultural Marxists in Brussels don’t care about the millions of European families freezing this winter or the factories shutting down. They care about destroying the West. And they’re succeeding.
Wake up, Europe. Before it’s too late.
