VIDEO EXCERPTS: "I've worked for 30 years and now I have to go to the food bank." An engineer, Philillip, 63 years old, is not an isolated case. He earned 3,400 net back when he was working, could even afford holidays, but now he stands in line at a food bank in Germany. After all his fixed expenses, he has only €240 a month left to live on.

Worthless solar power is flooding the country. Too much solar power recently drove wholesale prices deep into negative territory. Disposing of the green electricity cost taxpayers millions. The threat of regional power outages was imminent. Now the real test is about to begin.

The big drawback of renewable energies is that sometimes they produce too little energy, sometimes they produce too much. And this brings the electricity grid to the brink of collapse. And with this you risk brownouts or even rolling blackouts or this could cause a blackout which is going over several countries very dangerous.

Also, the Tuapse oil facility in Russia was not only hit a second time, but now also it was struck a third time this month.A lot of oil facilities or ports were attacked all over the world. So, a lot of things are going on with attacks on oil ports and this is going to be very bad for all of us citizens around the world. This will have a negative impact on all people of this planet.

Also in Austria, the metal industry is relocating and 10,000 jobs are lost in just two years. [...] Many firms want to move abroad and Austria is also threatened with de-industrialization just like Germany.

Also now the governments in Europe are spending a lot of money. increasing debts. and now they are looking for ways to create new taxes and one new tax which is now coming in Germany is going to be a sugar tax. [...] The same thing is going on in Austria. The government needs money, so they are increasing taxes...

[...] Last year, 650,000 children were born in Germany and 1 million people died. The Statistics Office in Germany described this as the largest birth deficit since World War II. Other European countries also reported fewer births last year,

including France, Austria, Italy, and Sweden. The Euro Group is warning of the biggest crisis of all time. If the Strait of Hormuz is not opened quickly, the EU is warning of a unprecedented oil and gas shortage. Oil and gas shortages could be greater than in previous crisis such as those in the 1970s.

Will there be a nuclear comeback in Europe? The EU chief is pushing for mini nuclear power plants. That's a great idea if the nuclear power plants are safe, but the problem is it takes time to build a nuclear power plant. even if it's a small one, you still need resources...

VIDEO EXCERPTS: Today I would like to make a video about the situation here in Europe. In this article, they are saying that April could become more difficult economically to survive than March. The situation on the energy markets is becoming increasingly tense.

[...] Also, the European Union is doubling tariffs on steel imports from China. Cheap steel from Asia is crippling the domestic steel industry. European manufacturers are also suffering from high energy prices and are also affected by the US tariffs. At the same time, converting energy intensive steel production to green energy is very expensive. Therefore, manufacturers are not operating at full capacity.

Germany wanted to ban combustion engine cars, but now they have ended this ban, because it's simply not possible. There's just not enough of infrastructure for electric cars and a lot of people are just simply not buying electric cars.

Apparently in Great Britain, a lot of people start stealing fuel from gas stations. So here they're saying that Britain's fuel shock has rich and poor stealing petrol.

[...] The economic downturn in Germany is driving up the number of company bankruptcies. For many businesses, the cost pressure has become so intense that their financial reserves are no longer sufficient. Even before the war, energy costs were a key business risk for almost half of all companies. It is alarming that the spiraling burden has recently accelerated. The energy price shock and the supply chain disruptions are driving costs even higher. No relief is expected in near future.

All right, the next story that I want to show you is in Austria, the government has planned to ban under 14 year olds from social media. They say it's important for the health of their children, and that can be true actually. But critics have said, how can I prove as an adult that I am over 14, and that we will be required to download digital identity to verify our age on social media...

VIDEO EXCERPTS: Europe is facing a supply shock that promises to affect manufacturing, ground airlines, hike up the price of food, spike borrowing costs, and send inflation spiraling back to crisis levels.

[...] With almost all global suppliers at maximum capacity, European leaders are beginning to realize that the LG supplies that they were counting on are not coming here as expected. It's not like we have a buffer. It's not like we have some security here.

Europe will start to feel the pain this coming month, or possibly seven, in a few weeks. Oil and gas could still stay high in Europe even if the war in Iran ends. Europe may not yet breathe a sigh of relief due to the long-lasting impact on energy supplies on which the block heavily relies. Even if peace is made tomorrow, we will not go back to normal in the foreseeable future.

Rising gas prices impact British and European energy bills via both the direct cost of gas and the increased cost to generate electricity through gas-fired power plants.

Yeah, a lot of people don't know that actually about 30% of electricity in Germany, I believe, or in Austria, is coming from gas-fired power plants. So if the natural gas price is going up, the electricity price is going up as well.

Europe begins energy rationing as the crisis moves into daily life. The European Union has begun urging citizens to work from home, drive less, reduce speed limits, and cut overall energy consumption as part of an emergency response to the shock created by the Iran war. The language coming out of officials makes it clear that this is not just temporary.

European authorities are warning of a very serious situation with no immediate end in sight. Yeah, some people would also call it an energy lockdown. The crisis will not resolve quickly. Officials are already warning that the shock will be long-lasting, and that suggests the current measures are just the first step.

Oh my god, this sounds familiar, right? If the disruption to global energy flows continues, these temporary adjustments will evolve into more formalized restrictions, and what is now being presented as voluntary guidance will become mandatory policy, AKA an energy lockdown...

VIDEO EXCERPTS: So now if you are a German citizen, if you are a male between 17 and 45 years old, and you want to leave Germany for more than 3 months, you need a special permission to do so. [...] Previously, this regulation only applied in crisis situations, meaning an increased external threat or an actual armed attack on the Federal Republic. So, this is concerning to hear. If I was a young German male, I would definitely think about leaving the country because if laws are changed to a situation where you cannot leave anymore, then I'm really asking myself what are they are planning in Germany...

[...] Also, here I have news which is again very concerning which let me question the sanity of German politicians.

Germany actually has a lot of brown coal. One of the mines actually has a huge amount of coal, that could actually provide Germany's electricity demands for more than two years. But now politicians have decided to flood this mine with water, and that would basically void all value of the mine.

[...] From 2030, Rhine water is to be diverted into the pit until a huge lake is created. At the same time, a billion tons of lignite will disappear permanently underwater along with a secure energy source for Germany. While uncertainty and price chaos prevail on the energy markets, the question arises as to what it actually is going on in the minds of those in power.

While the rest of the world is doing everything it can to secure its country's energy supplies, German politicians are preparing the next irreversible step in this destruction, flooding the Hamburg open cast mine. [...] Instead of using it as a lifeline for industry, households, and critical infrastructure, it is literally being drowned. The decision to flood the mine follows no logic whatsoever, but only an ideological agenda...

VIDEO EXCERPTS: So in this article some experts [International Energy Agency] are talking about an energy crisis or energy nightmare upcoming in six weeks here in the middle of Europe. The longer the war in the Middle East lasts, the worse the consequences will be. The situation in the Middle East continues to escalate. Fighting persists and an agreement is currently not in sight.

If this madness continues, prices of up to €3 per liter will be possible. [...] Fuel lockdown looms. ... Fuel may no longer be sold at some gas stations after Easter. Apparently, OPEC is already secretly working on a rationing plan.

The situation on the energy market is dramatic. The Strait of Hormuz was blocked overnight and the war in Iran could be prolonged with ground troops. Refineries in the Persian Gulf are already shut down and some are damaged. Restarting them will take months even after the war ends.

[...] So the situation is not so good, and therefore I want to prepare myself for a potential rolling blackout situation which might be possible because we don't have enough energy here in Europe.

[...] Easter presents are almost unaffordable. Price increases put a heavy strain on mothers. Also, the price of wood is going through the roof because transporting wood out of the forest to the sawmills to a lumberyard or into a hardware store is taking up a lot of diesel fuel, and this is making wood very expensive.

In India, thousands of migrant workers are now leaving the city as the global war begins hitting India's economy in real time. Not because jobs disappeared first, but because there's no gas to cook and prices are exploding. Families heading back to villages. On the countryside in India, you can still pick up wood for your fire, for cooking, but in the city there's no wood anymore.

Also in India, big textile companies are closing because the workers are gone and that also means that pretty soon the prices of clothing will go up. Australia has three natural gas plants that provide about 8% of the world's LG gas. But the production of LG was halted because of a cyclone hitting Australia. Murphy's law. This is Murphy's law. Everything that can go wrong will go wrong, right?

Petrol prices in Brazil are going up as well, but only about by 10% since the start of the war and that's because Brazil actually has huge amounts of biodiesel, and they also have cars and engines. So, Brazil is actually doing really good in the crisis.

Inflation significant increase expected due to Iran war. Food prices facing hikes. Inflation in Germany has recently slowed, but forecasts predict it soon will rise dramatically. Families are particularly affected by the current price increases.

Slovenia just became the first country in Europe to ration fuel. 50 L per day for private vehicles and 200 liters for businesses. The reason is stockpiling and shortages. Yeah, a lot of Austrians go to Slovenia to get fuel cheaper and that causes that those gas stations are either empty or have higher prices. Some people are saying that this situation could get worse than what we have experienced with the coronavirus pandemic...

Oh my god, it's €28 per liters. Look at that. So, that's a really crazy price. Crazy. Oh my god. I can't believe it. It's much higher than just a couple of weeks ago.

All right, guys. So, now we are going to talk a little bit about the news we're getting here in Austria. And I have to say it's not good. There's a lot of bad news.

So, one article which is really concerning is this one. It's saying that the crisis caused food prices to skyrocket. In general, since the corona virus pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the escalation in the Middle East, prices for food have risen by 30% on average in just 5 years. Also, there's a petrol crisis in Australia. A lot of ships that were bound to go to Australia were cancelled.

And also you see in Australia a lot of gas stations are going empty so you cannot get gas anymore. The world faces a gas supply cliff edge. So the last ships are now coming to the ports, but then after those ships exit that's it. We don't have a lot of more LG gas...

So it's really crazy how much the governments here in Europe have increased actually their tax revenues because the price of gas, natural gas, diesel, petrol is going through the roof.

The situation in Germany is more dramatic than ever before. The German economy faces massive challenges, job losses, high energy costs, and stagnant growth.

VIDEO EXCERPTS: I got the news. World War III has started. Europe is already in a really bad situation in terms of an energy crisis. We don't have a lot of natural gas right now in our storage facilities. We also don't have a whole lot of oil coming from Russia.

And now the war with Iran has started. The Strait of Hormuz is blocked, apparently, and 20% of all oil transports go through the Strait of Hormuz. Also, some kind of really important oil refineries in Saudi Arabia were damaged, and the oil production is now ceased. So that's another hit.

[...] So just in a couple of hours the price of diesel has gone up, but I think it will go up even more and I think after the attack in Iran everything will become even worse. So I thought it cannot get much worse anymore but still there it is.

It's going to be much, much worse now to make a living in Europe. And most people, you know, they are already fine with just being taxed out of their pockets. They just want to exist and want to be able to afford a warm home and some food. But I think now even this will become really difficult.

We are already in a very precarious situation in Europe. Everything is really expensive.

[...] They're saying after Iran attacks, the anti-semitism commissioner expects a heightened threat level for Jewish and Israeli institutions. And he's also saying that Iran is also targeting refineries in the Middle East and oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. Fuel prices are already rising as a result.

Also, a lot of people went to gas stations in the morning and sometimes there were long lines behind the gas stations because a lot of people have the same idea. They want to fill up their cars, right? The new war in Iran is having repercussions not only on a global political level but also directly in Europe. Thousands of travelers are stranded. Stock markets are plummeting and missiles have even struck Cyprus, which is Greece, which is a European country....

VIDEO EXCERPTS: Today I would like to report about the economic downfall of Germany. Now Germany was once a really great industry nation very safe, highly productive, one of the best GDP in the world and the reason why Germany was such a successful country in the past was simply because it had the access to cheap energy sources.

Doesn't matter if it's nuclear energy, coal, natural gas or other forms of energy, electricity, it had very cheap energy. Therefore, there were companies producing goods and services and therefore citizens had the best conditions to build their wealth. So this is one of the main reasons why Germany was so successful. You can only be successful as a country if you have cheap sources of energy.

But unfortunately now that's not the case anymore. I want to give you a little bit of a summary what happened and how Germany ended up in this situation.

So in Germany they decided to phase out nuclear energy. The first decision was already happening in 2002, when the Social Democrats and the Greens passed the first nuclear phase outlaw. However, there was no final shutdown date fixed at the time. But then unfortunately, Fukushima happened and after this, the German Bundestag voted with a large cross-party majority that nuclear energy will be phased out.

And from this point onward, Germany started to shut down nuclear plants. So here you have a list of the nuclear plants that they shut down.

Germany decided to shut down core energy. The coal exit was a political decision, in January 2019 a government appointed coal commission of industry politicians, unions, and environmental groups reached an agreement in 2019 to phase out coal-fired plants by 2038. So, Germany still has a couple of coal plants, but they are starting to phase them out. [...] the plan is to take them all off the grid.

Now if you're a country with almost 90 million people, you cannot be without electricity. ... The problem is solar and wind energy is not reliable because there can be some days when it's cloudy. Today there's not a single sun ray coming through, which basically leaves you with 5% of solar energy. Also in the nighttime you cannot use solar energy. So when there's a high demand of electricity, you need some kind of alternative.

Sometimes it's not windy, especially in wintertime, when there's no wind for 3 to 6 weeks at all. And also in winter time, you need a lot of electricity because of the need for warmth...

VIDEO EXCERPTS: Today I want to bring you the news from Europe.

First, I would like to discuss a vote coming from the European Parliament. The European Parliament voted overwhelmingly for the full recognition of trans women as women. The resolution, though non-binding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent. The resolution was progressive in many ways, including protections for abortion access and opposition to online hate speech targeting women.

But perhaps its boldest provision was a call for the full recognition of transgender women as women. The Council of the European Union emphasizes the importance of the full recognition of trans women as women, noting that their inclusion is essential for the effectiveness of any gender equality and antiviolence policies.

Though the resolution is non-binding, it establishes a significant policy position for the European Parliament moving forward. So that probably means that trans women have the right to stay in women prisons. They probably will also have the right um to say no to go to war. They will have the right to participate in women's sports, and also they will have the right to be inside of spas where only women are allowed.

That means sauna, that means women's baths, you know, and other areas which is exclusively for women, for example, in the gym. So that means they can go into these areas.

There was also some criticism coming from the right-wing parties saying that recognizing legally that a man who pretends to be a woman is a woman undermines the very essence of our civilization and the progress made in protecting the rights of actual women.

[...] This winter has been one of the coldest in, I believe, 20 years. So, it's still not over. But the problem is that right now we don't have enough of natural gas. ... here you can see a graph which is showing how much natural gas is used to produce electricity.

And in the last month, the demand of uh natural gas to produce electricity has risen extremely. And that's because this winter was very gloomy, so there wasn't a lot of sun and a lot of solar panels weren't producing. In the Netherlands, they only have 14.4% of natural gas anymore in their reserves.

So that's a really huge problem. And this alone could cause a blackout in Europe or a brownout. Or this could also cause situations where the government is saying to companies they have to close their businesses to save natural gas because we need your gas to heat the houses of our citizens.

[...] In Germany, serious crimes such as murder and rape are alleged, yet the suspected perpetrators remain free. The reason is an overburdened justice system that cannot meet deadlines. In 2025, 50 serious criminals were released from prison early. One presiding judge speaks of a free fall in the justice system.

Mountains of files are piling up and proceedings are being dropped due to minor offenses. So unfortunately many countries of Europe which once were super safe are now turning into countries which are not that safe anymore.

Also in Germany, the conservative party opposes higher income taxes, while the social party opposes cuts on the welfare state.

Because of this fight there's one economist which is predicting that therefore the parties will agree on a different measure and the measure will be that the value added tax will increase. The value added tax right now in Germany is 19% for products like this phone here, and I believe it's 9% for food, if I'm not wrong. It also makes everything more expensive...

VIDEO EXCERPTS: This is how expensive Austria has become. Housing, energy, food. Month after month, people in Austria are groaning about the rising prices in all areas. The official figures show how bad it really is. Thousands have to pinch pennies. Yet prices for rent, energy, and supermarket groceries, and restaurants continue to rise month after month.

[...] Also in Austria, asylum seekers are now getting less money. So they are lowering social benefits and from now on asylum seekers in basic care only get that and not the full social welfare anymore.

In Germany, they are saying that the welfare state has to shrink because of distribution conflicts. Because Germany has to spend more money on its defense. There will soon be conflicts over resource allocation. One thing is clear, that it will no longer be possible to afford the current state of welfare.

[...] Also in Germany, they have conducted a next generation study, which is saying that almost a third of young Germans long for the old days with traditional gender roles. They nostalgically wish for less immigration, traditional role models and more national pride. At the same time, frustration is growing...

[...] A strikingly high number of well-educated and successful individuals actually act on their desire and move out of Germany. And this means some very grave negative effects for German economy and competitiveness.

In Germany, they have realized that closing nine working nuclear plants and a couple of coal plants maybe was not the best idea. The grid has become very unstable, risking blackouts. And now the German government has plans for investing in natural gas plants again. Of course, consumers are expected to pay for this.

So maybe it would have been very wise to keep those old, very high quality nuclear plants and coal plants going, but they just closed them down. Partly also destroyed them, and now they have to build new natural gas plants. I can't believe how politicians are throwing our tax money out of the window. It's crazy...
