Fire from Ice: The Oligarchic/Corporate "Racism Psyop" II

.
The "Global Elite" have spent a fortune for decades now, trying to figure out every angle of how the human mind really works. How to get the cattle to just behave! Stunningly, especially taking into account their historical record, one of the big items they finally settled on is a process in which they would use their power to take over the reigns of what is now the false-left and use "racism" and all of the history and elements that go along with it. The anti-Globalization protests in Seattle in 1999 was truly the final straw! In a mere twenty years, they have defied all logic by turning the Democrat Party into a defacto far right wing economic warmongering institution, while at the very same time preaching and mainstreaming the most farcical aspects of a pretend-left wing agenda. They do this, in large part, by simply controlling the front people and giving them good press while attacking anyone who they don't want, and they do it at the ground level so there's little chance of a opposing person getting to the higher levels of government. Another example, their fronts in California Democrat politics---far from being "bad for business"---create havoc for small businesses in a strategy to make them non-competitive or put them out've business in favor of giant corporations who can afford all of the outrageous regulations, fees, and legal challenges.... and come out way ahead at the end of the day after their competition is steam rolled over! In this manner, a California Democrat can be seen wiggling around at a Gay Pride celebration like a "Progressive," while maintaining their vicious far right wing economic activities!

Of course, part of this whole process is the perception of the "racist bogeyman." "Racism" is the new "Communism." In this way, massive multinational banks and corporations who rape the whole world economically, can point the finger at tens of millions of people who have zero power; although they don't "point the finger" themselves, but get their fronts to do it for them in this daily media "gaslighting" process.

Gaslighting: Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which a person seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or in members of a targeted group, making them question their own memory, perception, and sanity. Using persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying, gaslighting involves attempts to destabilize the victim and delegitimize the victim's beliefs.

Just this morning a "Yahoo! news" window involuntarily popped up on my browser. As I was about to close it, I saw a lead story of how a Cleveland Browns football player was cut from the team due to his "racist" and "threatening" twitter responses to criticism of him by a TV and radio broadcaster. I couldn't help but take a peek at what he actually wrote, and found it to be mere s**t talk; neither racist nor threatening in any meaningful way. So this 26 year old likely will never play again. Then I saw another article about how Pam Anderson wore a Native American headdress for Halloween, and was being attacked on mindless twitter accounts. I think this article was make believe; 360 million people, and 26 criticized her for "racism." The CFR, a Globalist think tank of which all six corporations which control 90% of our media are members, have their buzzstories which they like to keep in the news daily. Anything resembling racism will do. Knowing how news is micromanaged, I wouldn't be surprised if she got on their enemies list because of her support for Julian Assange.

One twitter account even went so far at to additionally criticize the evil use of a poor bird's feathers. As to the actual Native Americans usage of feathers, well, the corporate fervor of "racism" seems to win out against logic. It would have been quite a shock to some of these suburban creampuffs if they had actually encountered real violence; places where most individuals would be required to physically defend themselves from attack when the bullying party was usually of a different race.... unless they just wanted to allow themselves to be pummeled. The kind of places where if they accidentally drove into them, their first panicked response would be "OMG, lemme outta here!" Well, those children don't get to leave. Who the hell needs a lecture "on race" by some upper middle class creampuff?

Theoretically, a person from a well-to-do background can toughen themselves up. This could be accomplished in number of ways. I recall when competing in amateur boxing, some very tough boys from Marin County... one of the wealthiest counties in America. There was no real difference between them and other boys whom we could deem of the polar opposite socio-economic class. Still, nobody can understand suffering and true hopelessness unless they have experienced it themselves. It's impossible.

We keep hearing about "hate." Okay, how about "warmonger hate," or "financial hate," or "corporate hate"..? Isn't that legitimate? I mean if a Kamala Harris takes office as president in 2021, she will make her snappy progressive comments at home, while running around the world massacring people for Wall Street war profiteers who sponsor her. That's the psyop! We have to do something about YOUR RACISM; all the while bombing brown people for money! Every now and then, some person of character makes a run at it---Ron Paul, Ralph Nader, Cynthia McKinney, or Dennis Kucinich---and the Global Elite make their move to silence them or destroy their relevance. It's "punish the good (McKinney), and reward the bad (Harris)."

'Kamala Harris 2020 Would Be Hillary Clinton All Over Again'

'When It Comes to U.S. Militarism, Elizabeth Warren Is No Progressive'

'Why Bernie Sanders Is an “Imperialist Pig” '

If Trump is so horrible, why are they further to the right of him on numerous issues? If Trump is "right wing nationalism"; then they're "far right wing internationalism."

Trial of Catalonia independence leaders

Using the reasoning of the Spanish government, the United States is illegal. Americans of the 18th century did not rise up against the British. They WERE the British! They fought against their own government for independence. Only in this case, Catalonians are a different nation, with a different language. Furthermore, the Spanish government defeated many other nations by force, so who's to say what is "legitimate?" It's really no different than Corsica, the Basque Country, and numerous other nations by culture and language; most often only subjugated due to military conquest. How about dragging Javier Zaragoza and the other prosecuters into the World Court in handcuffs and leg irons, kicking and screaming.... that sounds more like justice than the ending result of this. Of course, nothing is really ever "over" is it?

'The legend of Aloisa, the ghost of lovers in the village of Grazzano Visconti'

'The legend of Aloisa, the ghost of lovers in the village of Grazzano Visconti'

E-Borghi.com - June 22, 2019

What a province Piacenza is! The villages of Bobbio, Castell'Arquato or Vigoleno were not enough to make it unique in its kind, so medieval and so representative, the legends of the Devil's bridge were not enough or that of San Giorgio to wrap these little centers in the mystery, it was not enough the sweet taste of the bargnolino to delight our palates... no, they were not enough.

Just south of this capital is a village that is actually an "artistic fake" but that in its context has everything to be considered a real medieval village. I'm talking about Grazzano Visconti, a village restored to its fourteenth-century splendor by Giuseppe Visconti di Modrone with the collaboration of the architect Alfredo Campanini and Gabriele D'Annunzio.

Father of the famous director Luchino Visconti (La terra trema, Senso, Rocco and his brothers, Il Gattopardo, etc ...), Giuseppe Visconti, who not by chance seems to have made this village the set of a cinematographic representation, was not alone a visionary genius, whose feat of construction of the neo-medieval village of Grazzano meant that King Vittorio Emanuele III appointed him duke and added his surname to the name of the Piacenza village, but it also seems to have been a decent medium.

Perhaps only a man of such genius was ready to listen and put, black and white, the features of the protagonist of this place. Perhaps only a man who had seen beyond those ruins plundered over the centuries by peasants could understand Aloisa's message.

It was in a moment of trance when Giuseppe listened and saw her. Bassina, plump, with a little prosperous womb and folded arms (this is also recognized in the statues around the village), Aloisa presented herself to the duke with her sad story of a woman betrayed by her husband, a captain of the local militia, and died out of jealousy. A broken heart with a great spirit ... a spirit still alive that wanders between the rooms of the castle and among the plants of the vast garden, annoyed by the jokes of an ephemeral love.

In addition to local folklore, there are several testimonies that confirm the existence of Aloisa's ghost. First, several couples were "disturbed" in their sleep during their stay in the castle, with slaps and other jokes. Then a journalist from a local newspaper, who after recording several interviews noticed that only the flattering ones towards the ghost remained on the tape. Then a reporter from a television station, who managed to photograph Aloisa's statue only after giving her a gift of a conversation.

It seems, in fact, that in order to grace the spirit of Aloisa, and not to incur in her spite, it is necessary to give her a necklace, some jewels, or bring her respect or consolation ... to her who had no luck in love.

Aloisa has over time become the protector of pure love in the village of Grazzano Visconti, a sort of Valentine's Day skirt, able to bring love to those who ask her for help and to watch over true, indissoluble feelings ... those of true lovers .

Of course there are the gossips that speak of "publicity stunt" but walking in the village, listening to the locals about it, and noting the necklaces on the statues dedicated to her, one pervades oneself with her presence, benevolent and at times irritated. Definitely a spirit that bodes well ... surely a place to visit remains fascinated.

During his spiritual encounter with Duke Giuseppe, Aloisa said: "I am Aloisa and I bring Love and perfume to the beautiful women who give their smile to Grazzano Visconti".

The Battle Hymn Of The Republic-Glory, glory, hallelujah!

The Battle Hymn Of The Republic-Glory, glory, hallelujah!-Bekhit Fahim

Bekhit Fahim 1

The Battle Hymn of the Republic" is a hymn by American writer Julia Ward Howe using the music from the song "John Brown's Body". Howe's more famous lyrics were written in November 1861 and first published in The Atlantic Monthly in February 1862. The song links the judgment of the wicked at the end of time (New Testament) with the American Civil War. Since that time it has become an extremely popular and well-known American patriotic song.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His day is marching on.

The Battle Hymn of The Republic

Lyrics: Julia Ward Howe
Music:  William Steffe  1861
 
Mine eyes have seen the glory
of the coming of the lord,
He is trampling out the vintage
where the grapes of wrath are stored,
He hath loosed the fateful lightning
of His terrible swift sword,
His truth is marching on

Glory! Glory ! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah
Glory! Glory ! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on

I have seen Him in the watch fires
of a hundred circling camps,
They have builded Him an altar
in the evening dews and damps,
I can read his righteous sentence
in the dim and flaring lamps,
His day is marching on

Glory! Glory ! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah
Glory! Glory ! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on

He has sounded forth the trumpet
that shall never call retreat,
He is sifting out the hearts of men
before His judgment seat,
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him!
Be jubilant, my feet,
Our day is marching on

Glory! Glory ! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah
Glory! Glory ! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on

Fire from Ice: The Oligarchic/Corporate "Racism Psyop"

How do you get fire from ice? "It's impossible!" most could exclaim. Those two elements just don't mix. Well, you can get fire from ice. It's fairly simple. Find a fuel source such as some dry grass or wood and place it where you want the fire, as long as it's placed within some degree of sunlight. Then find a piece of ice and use you hand to form it into the shape of a lens. Lastly, put it at an angle and use it just like a magnifying glass and focus the beam onto the fuel source. Fire from ice.

It's almost impossible to truly understand the immense power that is generated when billionaire Globalists literally form "unions." This is done in the same basic manner as are labor unions. There is a structure, and not every party is required to like or agree with every other party. They cooperate for the benefit of the greater whole. Now when we consider that several of these larger banking institutions are worth a combined total reaching into the equivalent of hundreds of trillions of dollars (from their own biographies), only then can the socio-political-economic obscenity of this union be fully comprehended. The endgame, in it's simplest description, is to politically-terraform the world into exactly what they want it to be.

At some point these people decided, among so many things (most of which they publish), that "Racism" was to be used on multiple fronts to advance their agenda in a manner that is just as cold and calculating as when it was decided by men of enormous wealth that racially-based slavery was to be used as a free labor source. In the current corporate climate, and it's only going to get worse, people are afraid to even criticize another person if they happen to be of a different racial, ethnic, religious, gender, sexual orientation, etc. background. Of course, some degree of deliberation--even heated deliberation--is beneficial to any endeavor. If a person is afraid to even open their mouth--unless it's done in a manner that is absolutely nothing other than to advance the finite predetermined agenda of their oligarchic masters--then the total control of every part of the corporate pyramid has been established. The word of the hierarchy is gospel.

One consequence of this is that those of a particular conformist personality are continuously artificially elevated. In this way, a socially-radicalized individual is much more desirable. So therefore the Capito-Marxist tyranny of the far right wing Plutocrat male CEO and the Feminist Lesbian Liberal radical who heads the Human Resources Department is cast. I will give one deadly example of a consequence of this tyranny. There are many corporate trade shows all over the country, representing a large number of industries. During the entire week, from setup though the show and to the cleanup, there are people representing many trades working in enclosed and/or underground facilities.

These would include carpenters to salesmen, truck drivers to vice presidents, maintenance workers to inventors, etc. I personally knew several individuals whom had worked at these trade shows who have died of lung cancer. Regardless of what anyone tries to say about safety, the sad reality is that there are many forklifts used at these shows which are fueled by propane... a substance absolutely known to cause cancer. As you walk through the showroom, the smell of propane is very alarming! The ventilation is grossly insufficient! Perhaps someone needs to grab that conservative CEO or that liberal human resources director by the shirt collar and slam them against the wall and inform them that just maybe it might be a better idea to spend less energy on the Gay Studies Department and more on the Safety Department!! (if they even have one!).

Of course, real discrimination happens all the time. If they want to get rid of anyone, they can do it. Since they crushed the labor unions, there is most often no place to turn. Why do Neoliberals trash labor unions? Well their too busy with other things, such as the Gay Movement which is massively sponsored by the multinational corporations and financial institutions and their tax-exempt foundations. Nobody thinks it's just a little strange that the wealthiest most powerful Republicans meet each July in Monte Rio, California, and they're all members of the Bohemian Club headquartered in San Francisco. This Plutocratic/Globalist association openly admits that the majority of their membership are homosexual males.

How could a group with such enormous power in finance, business, politics, education, media, entertainment, intelligence, the military, health care, and in the judicial system, which is stunningly far to the right, possibly exist right smack dab in the center of San Francisco!!? Well, the ascendancy of the Gay Movement and the decline of the labor movement can give us one clue to that question. It's all theater. For example, Hillary Clinton is so far to the right that it baffles the mind, yet she is a Liberal/Feminist icon without much of a foundation to back it up. Donald Trump is an old-school Nationalist-oligarch, so used to getting his own way that he can't even remotely play reverse human psychology against the Internationalist-oligarchical establishment.


The War Machine

When Donald Trump makes a deliberately inflamatory comment, such as some of the recent ones, he easily allows the establishment's six-corporation-media (25,000 different media outlets) to charge him with with "RACISM!!!" However when Barack Obama, who initially ran on an anti-war platform, spent eight years running around the world massacring people in the third world on behalf of his sponsors--Wall Street bankers and war profiteers--this apparently wasn't racism. The simple truth is that the establishment brought Obama along for years until his time came. He was a political-psyop (psychological operation) who didn't have one Socialist bone in this body. Right wing researchers, such as Jerome Corsi and Dinesh D'Souza, walk around picking up fake planted Communist bread crumbs.

.
How about when Obama and Hillary absolutely obliterated the Socialist utopia of Libya? Wouldn't that make a much better case of racism than Trump's fat mouth? She said it best: "We came, we saw, he died" followed by a big laugh as she described how they destroyed Quaddafi, Libya, Socialism, and especially the demolition of the Great Man-Made River which was bringing free water to the people. No, she's not a Socialist. I'm not a Socialist, but if you're going to be a Socialist, then Qaddafi's Libya was your Socialist paradise. There is a type of "rich man's Socialism" though... GLOBALIZATION: A Global Plutocratic Technocracy. That's a big price to pay for a few government goodies. That quote, in reality, was a pathetic quote in the sense that the administrative front was merely following orders from the real "WE." When Hugo Chavez got in the way of the Establishment's plan for the Americas, well, he just happened to catch a bad case of the "CIA flew." Numerous Central and South American leaders have been murdered by this Establishment.


Corporate Gentrification

If gentrification was so "inevitable," then why didn't it happen in the Reagan 80s? It did in small part, but nothing like the tidal wave that we have seen in the last ten, twenty years! Isn't that "racism?" Since the six-corporation media monopoly says that it is not, well I guess the Social Justice Warriors are just out've luck there. The Establishment, their big daddy financier, is just not going to allow that to happen. Don't worry SJW's, all of those giant corporations have "Gay Studies Departments." You can think about that as you pack your stuff. Perhaps it wasn't such a good idea to spend a lifetime supporting Capito-Marxism after all. It is astonishing just how quickly the corporations can socially-terraform an urban landscape for themselves.


Corporate Immigration

If it wasn't so serious, it would be comical of how even a violent street Anarchist will never challenge the corporate agenda when it come to massive immigration. That's yet another area where the "Racism Psyop" comes in handy. "Ethnic whites" so to speak, have been completely deconstructed by both Corporate Gentrification and Immigration. Not only by being endlessly crowded out've their neighborhoods, but by having their sources of making a living cut off. For example, the corporate attacks on small business and labor unions. Unless of course people just want to join them and disappear into their nameless, faceless, culturelass human sea. Then it could work out for some. Eliminating our cultures while massively promoting the cultures of others--and the "Gay Culture"--isn't that a form of racism? Also, in essence, isn't the Gay Movement most often just a form of ethnic supremacy?? Think about that one!


Establishment "Shaming words"

The Establishment has spent a lot of time developing "shaming words" to support their agendas. In reality, "Globalist" should be the ultimate shaming word. However, they have cleverly disguised their far right wing economic program as something more akin to "global cooperation" as to not have to feel any blowback to their program. I think "Capito-Marxist" hits the nail on the head pretty well. We are facing system-controlled street movements, not organic ones. This is why the anti-Globalizatin movement fell flat on it's face after the Seattle protests of twenty years ago. The Establishment knew they had a big problem and they solved it by installing all new trained leaders to head these psyop groups to do their bidding.

Comunità Odinista - A worldwide Cisalpine-Odinist community; "Identity" music"

Comunità Odinista ritual featuring the old flag of Langbard

https://www.comunitaodinista.org/

https://www.facebook.com/comunitaodinista/

Comunità Odinista was started in 1994 as an Odinist/Asatru association for Cisalpine people worldwide. The above flag is the flag of the Langbard Kingdom, and yes... it really did have a flaming red odal rune in the center; however, the inner shield was greyish brown instead of white with more of an shadowed outline of a black eagle. I exchanged emails a few years ago with a woman who was a member of the CO in Rosario, Argentina. I recall that there was a small CO group in Florida I believe. I recall some years ago briefly exchanging some messages with a Spanish Asutrar group called something like "Teutonica Alianza." I'm personally not an Asutrar, but there has been an upsurge of Euro-folk-related groups in recent years, based on the pre-Christian traditions. As far as those either related or intrinsically Cisalpine in origin, would include Asatru, the Roman and Etruscan pantheons, Gaulish polytheism, Druidism, Proto-European witchcraft, Stregheria and other magickal traditions.

There has also been a spike in recent years of "identity" music--often heavy metal or hard rock, but other forms as well--from all over the world, such as Celtic or Viking metal. In one of the recent posts, I put an example of an Etruscan-themed band. "Neoclassical darkwave" is one example of one of the many other sub-genres. There's even Catholic-themed darkwave--as I recall one such impressive band from Sardinia--and more than I can remember without committing myself to making a long list. The point is that it's not just loud "Viking metal" or "Wiccan chants"; there could be something for a lot of people to look into.

Sometimes there can be inaccurate perceptions, such as perhaps "Celtic metal" must be from Ireland; the greater Celtic cultures were from Ireland to Poland, and from Portugal to the south Balkans. One of the best Celtic metal bands that I've heard is a band from Spain called the Crystalmoors. Many of these bands--from Germany, Russia, Italy, Argentina, etc--the names escape me off-hand. I have seen where they have toured all over the U.S. It's not really "traditional music" as such, but more like any popular type of music with a particular "identity theme."

Stossel: The Southern Poverty Law Center Scam

Stossel: The Southern Poverty Law Center Scam

ReasonTV

There are dangerous hate groups in America. So a group called the Southern Poverty Law Center promises to warn us about them. They release an annual list of hate groups in America.

The media cover it, but John Stossel says they shouldn't. It's a scam.

************


The Southern Poverty Law Center lists Ayaan Hirsi Ali — who grew up Muslim in Somalia and suffered female genital mutilation — as an "anti-Muslim extremist." Just because she now speaks out against radical Islam.

They also list the conservative Family Research Council as a "hate group."

That listing led a man to go to the Council's office to try to gun down their workers. The shooter later told law enforcement that he picked the group because he saw they were on the Southern Poverty Law Center's hate map and he wanted to fight bigots.

Stossel disagrees with the Family Research Council on many issues. But he says they don't deserve to be called haters. The group's Executive Vice President, Jerry Boykin, tells him: "I don't hate gay people, and I know gay people, and I have worked with gay people."

Another group that the Southern Poverty Law Center smears is the Ruth Institute. The group argues that gays shouldn't have the same rights to adopt. But does that make them haters? No, says founder Jennifer Morse: "I have no problem with gay people. That's not the issue."

Other reporters, such as Megyn McArdle at Bloomberg, have also pointed out that the group is an odd fit for a "hate" list.

There are many non-hateful groups on the Southern Poverty Law Center's hate list. But Antifa, which clearly is a hate group, is not on the list.

The Southern Poverty Law Center wouldn't talk to Stossel about their listings. Stossel says screaming "hate!" brings in money.

Morris Dees, the Center's founder, pays himself nearly half a million dollars a year. Although Dees once promised that when the Center's endowment reached $50 million, he'd stop fundraising, he didn't stop. Now the Center has $320 million dollars stashed away -- much of it in the Cayman Islands. It's all in their tax returns.

Stossel notes that they still con people into giving them even more money. Apple gave them $1 million last year.

He says the Southern Poverty Law Center has become a hate group itself. It is now a left-wing, money grabbing, slander machine.

The Southern Poverty Law Center---with a half-billion dollars at its disposal---practices ETHNIC INTIMIDATION on whomever it chooses.... often based solely on race and ethnicity! Yes, the SLPC has a distinct RACIAL PROGRAM.

There are numerous far right wing nationalist political parties in Israel, none of which are criticized by the SPLC. La Raza is a Mexican nationalist/Southwest United States irredentist advocacy group, and which is defended by the SPLC despite marches where many held signs such as "Kill Every White Male Over 14." However, the SPLC attacks Forza Nuova, an Italian nationalist political party. So according to the SPLC, Israeli nationalism is GOOD, Mexican nationalism is GOOD, but Italian nationalism is BAD. The former two were originally created by colonial supremacist movements. On the other hand, "Italians didn't steal Italy." Okay, someone could argue that the Roman Empire was the same type of colonial aggressor, however not within Italy; and even if there was some internal question of that sort, or of any other intrinsic sort, it certainly would not be any of their business.

The governments of both Israel and Mexico have stated on record as both being an "Ethnostate," a nation fully dedicated to ONE RACE only! In other words, the SPLC isn't really a civil rights group, but a powerful political lobbying apparatus with a particular agenda. They author demographically-incongruent bills submitted to the U.S. Senate, and have the political and media connections to push them through. There are numerous urban organizations in this country which call for outright violence and terrorism, but whom are ignored by the SLPC. Instead they incessantly watch and collect information on that tiny (using a hypothetical example) entirely non-political Asatru group which meets in the middle of the woods of rural eastern Oregon every week.

The SPLC absolutely will not leave alone certain very small, non-political Neopagan folk groups if they happen to follow ancient spiritual traditions which are European in origin. However ALL others are perfectly okay!.... because THEY said so!! They have a particular hatred for Asatru or Odinism, an ancient Teutonic religion once widespread throughout northern Europe, and some locations in southern and eastern Europe. After years of scrutiny without much "hate," they finally branded some of these groups as "hate groups" using the idea that they're "Volkish." VOOOLKISH!! Volkish simply means folkish, or something which is inherently a part of a particular people.

African-Americans who have discovered their Yoruba traditions, Native American traditions, Sheikhs, Shintoists, etc., are all following "folkish" traditions. I guess the German equivalent "VOLKISH" must make it evil.... because the SPLC says so! It's interesting that the SPLC has apparently not put Forza Nuova, which is present in New Jersey and Arizona, on their infamous "hate map." The ethnicity of the SPLC might feel that attacking Italians may not be good for donations at the present time. Everything they do is planned and calculated.

Some years ago, the SPLC listed a terror group which they called something like the "Algerian Armed Islamic Guerilla Organization" on their hate map. They claimed that this group was present all over the country (NYC, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, etc.). Then, all of a sudden, this group just disappeared into thin air! It was no longer listed, and nothing more was mentioned. I suspect that they just made up that group to pad their listings for their prospective donors, then finally realized the danger of listing a fake terror group; a move perhaps too audacious even for them.

Italy STUNNED as Salvini wins majority and says a "NEW Europe is born"

'European elections: Italy STUNNED as Salvini wins majority and says a "NEW Europe is born" '

MATTEO SALVINI's Lega Nord (League) Party has claimed a convincing European Parliament victory, in a shock result in Italy.

Clive Hammond - Express (UK) - May 27, 2019

The group has around 32 percent of the vote so far on the night, way ahead of the Democratic Party. Interior minister Matteo Salvini leads League, which came third in the 2018 general election. Following his victory, Mr Salvini said in Milan: “A new Europe is born.

“I am proud that the League is participating in this new European renaissance.”

He said previously: “As far as I'm concerned, if the League wins nothing changes in Italy, everything will change in Europe, starting from tomorrow.”

The head of the party’s Senate Riccardo Molinari added: “The League has probably become the top party in Italy.”

The FBI Files: Season 6 - Ep 16 "Radical Resistance"

FilmRise True Crime

Click here to watch great FREE Movies & TV: http://filmrise.com

In the 1970s, a Croatian terrorist group linked to the National Resistance party committed acts against non-supportive Croatians living in the United States. With the help of an informant, the FBI apprehended, arrested and convicted members of the group of crimes ranging from conspiracy and extortion to murder.

THE FBI FILES reveals the crime busting techniques and forensic science used by the FBI to solve the most baffling cases. Former head of the FBI's New York Office James Kallstrom hosts these true stories of crime and detection.


************

Croatian National Resistance

The Croatian National Resistance (Croatian: Hrvatski narodni otpor, HNO), also referred to as Otpor, was an Ustaša organization founded in the aftermath of the Second World War in Spain. The HNO ran a terrorist organisation, Drina, which continued to be active well into the 1970s.

The organization operated between legitimate emigre functions and a thuggish underworld. Its leaders tried to distance the organization from the acts of the so-called renegade elements. It embraced a radical nationalist ideology that differed only marginally from Ustaše ideology.

The HNO had stated, in their constitution, that:

"We regard Yugoslavism and Yugoslavia as the greatest and only evil that has caused the existing calamity... We therefore consider every direct or indirect help to Yugoslavia as treason against the Croatian nation... Yugoslavia must be destroyed—be it with the help of the Russians or the Americans, of Communists, non-Communists or anti-Communists—with the help of anyone willing the destruction of Yugoslavia: destroyed by the dialectic of the word, or by dynamite—but at all costs destroyed."

The organization published its own magazine, Drina. It existed until 1991.


************


Croatian nationalism

Croatia is a distinct ethnicity with it's own genuine history, language, and culture. Of that, there is no question.


The Ustaša

The Croatian Revolutionary Movement, Fascist in ideology.


The Catholic Church and the Ustaša

During World War II, the Catholic Church backed the Ustaša in an effort to form a new Croatian state which would be fully Catholic. This happening---and the many war crimes of the Ustaša, along with knowledge by the church, and participation by Croatian church officials---has overwhelmingly been buried and spun by the financial and political power of the church. 


Old Croatian-American communities

There have been Croatian-American communities in many corners of the United States going back a century and beyond. Chicago, Pittsburgh, southeast Louisiana, San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles... the list is long. I have a cousin in a more-or-less rural area in Pennsylvania, and she says there's a strong old Croatian community where she lives. When my family came to this country and settled in Upper Michigan, there was a Croatian community just as old as the Lombardo-Venetian community there. More recent Croatian immigrants have settled in other places like Seattle, Phoenix, locations in Florida and numerous other locales.


Croatian American Association (or here)

During the crisis in Yugoslavia during the late 80s/early 90s, the CAA organized meetings and a structure made up of leaders from all over the U.S. in regards to how to deal with the continuing crisis (at that time). There were a series of YouTube videos about this, but they seem to have disappeared. It certainly showed a tremendous amount of pride, passion, cultural continuity, and social cohesion between older Croatian communities and more recent arrivals.


Croatian National Resistance (Hrvatski narodni otpor) in America

The HNO was much the same as the ETA in the Basque Country, the FLNC in Corsica, the IRA in Ireland, and other separatist groups which resorted to terrorism. On the other hand, many consider the Sons of Liberty to have been basically a terrorist group, which brings up the hypocrisy of the topic. One person's "freedom fighter" is another person's "terrorist." Seldom do people look at the hardships perpetrated on both sides of any conflict.

What made the HNO a bit different is that they wrongly brought terror to the United States, imposing a "revolutionary tax" on successful Croatian-American businessmen. It should be stated that both parties were among the arrivals of recent decades. It probably also perhaps should be stated that the IRA had committed bank robberies in the U.S., for example in Boston, to finance themselves... as well as purchasing arms from Irish-American gangsters.


Parallels between "the Balkans" and "the Italian peninsula"

Although there were inherently more cultural elements which tied the various "nations" of the Italian peninsula together in 1860, there is not all that much difference between it and the Balkans. The peninsula also had different cultures and languages. For example, Lumbardia (pronounced "Loom-bar-DEEE-ah") was essentially a nation, with it's own distinct language. The Lumbard language is NOT a "dialect of Italian"... although it's linguistically related to Roman/Latin. Much of it is made up of words of proto-European and Gaulish origin. In a perfect world, Lumbardia would be a nation in its own right, and possessing a larger area than the current defined region.

The greater Veneto, Tuscany, Calabria, Sicilia, etc., all have their own distinct culture and native tongue... just as the competing nations of the Balkans have. However, they have long been united by a common religion. We can't blame this apathy entirely on circumstance. The Croatians have demonstrated the will and fortitude as a people--even across oceans!--to fight for their ancestral homeland. By being apathetic, even in terms of what might be good for the whole peninsula, we now get a steady diet of this....

Even locally in parts of the Bay Area where there was once quite a prominence of Italian-American culture even just twenty or thirty years ago, a recent "techie" arrival would never know that we were ever here. One would never have the faintest idea of the 100-year link between Genoa and San Francisco. Just yesterday in the late afternoon I was at a successful local business owned by a proud family in Colma with old roots in Liguria. After purchasing something, one of them said a simple phrase to me in Italian as we parted company.

While driving home I thought to myself that I was sorry that I didn't respond to his phrase in a more explicit manner.. in Italian. Here there is a big (gay) "PRIDE" mural right down the street from that establishment, and I can't even say two words in Italian? It's like subconsciously accepting our rapid demise. In the old days, we didn't feel the need to "cut out a slice of society for ourselves," as this was just our home, period. It just belonged to all who lived here.

In nature, in any given circumstance, a creature is either predator or prey. Sadly with super-Capitalism, mass migration, and the new surge in identity, radical, and behavioral politics... human society is now much the same. In the film 'Wall Street', financial predator Gordon Gekko said flatly "You are either INSIDE or you are OUTSIDE." I offer this to our people, south Italians, Croatians, Slavs, and other similar people.... right now we are OUTSIDE. What the Croatian National Resistance did wasn't the right thing to do... however, doing nothing is worse. Even discussing what one "might do" is still better than doing absolutely nothing.

The people who absolutely dominate this country---and are behind that mural... and a thousand other things that disable us with their veiled supremacism---meet every July in Marin County not far from here, and they hate us! We're archaic people who need to be replaced or go away. It's that simple. If you took all responsible, wittingly or unwittingly, for local studio apartment to be as high as $5,000 a month.... and imposed that horrible and unreasonable THING upon the hometowns that they originally came from.... their hometowns would become ghost towns overnight.... and we stand for this??

It's all part of the same thing----whether it's a supernational entity totally disempowering a people like what was happening in Croatia, or gentrifying a people out've existence in favor of others, or taxing a people out've existence, or denigrating their culture in favor of their own, or surveiling them without having to show cause----as the prominent and influential Greek statesman, orator and general of Athens--Pericles--once said: "Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you."



The right wing/left wing folly

It's not difficult to see the problems of a nationalist movement taking on the veneer of "Fascism" or "Communism".... which are both moronic expressions to reflect just how "angry they are." Sure, there are plenty of reasons to be very angry, but they harm their cause by making it all about a general politic... instead of about flesh and blood.... about the soul of a people. Sinn Féin didn't help it's cause by attaching itself to Communists and terrorists. Lega Nord doesn't now help it's cause by even accepting the "far right" label... literally accepting the title that the enemy has given you. Native Americans who fought for their land were not "right-wing extremists." There are Russian nationalists, both Fascist and Communist, who hate each other and have even killed each other... even though they seem to support the same cause.

Remember.... Croatia did eventually win its independence.... and did not end up with a Fascist, Communist, or Globalist government, but a government which has maintained security for its people.

Revisioning drawing of Lisa del Giocondo

Lisa del Giocondo

Lisa del Giocondo (née Gherardini; June 15, 1479 – July 15, 1542) was an Italian noblewoman and member of the Gherardini family of Florence and Tuscany. Her name was given to the Mona Lisa, her portrait commissioned by her husband and painted by Leonardo da Vinci during the Italian Renaissance.

Little is known about Lisa's life. Born in Florence and married in her teens to a cloth and silk merchant who later became a local official, she was a mother to five children and led what is thought to have been a comfortable and ordinary middle-class life. Lisa outlived her husband, who was considerably her senior.

Centuries after Lisa's death, the Mona Lisa became the world's most famous painting and took on a life separate from Lisa, the woman. Speculation by scholars and hobbyists made the work of art a globally recognized icon and an object of commercialization. In 2005, Lisa was definitively identified as the model for the Mona Lisa.

Roman coins from Breathitt County, Kentucky

The above three coins were found in a cave shelter in Breathitt County, Kentucky, by Mr. Michael Wayne Griffith of the same county. Mr. Griffith has found another 9 or so similar coins, but the three depicted are the best preserved of the group.

A few years ago the three depicted were examined hands-on by Norman Totten, Professor of History, now Emeritus, at Bentley College. Totten identified the two thinner coins (the top two above) as antoniniani, a type of bronze Roman coin minted between 238 and 305 A.D. The obverses (left photos) depict an unidentifiable emperor wearing the distinctive "solar crown" of the period. The reverse of the top one, in the right photo, depicts two figures standing facing what apparently is a central altar, while that of the middle one depicts a female standing figure facing left with a cornucopia in her right hand.

These would originally have had a silver surface, long since gone. The third coin is thicker, and depicts a bust facing right, wearing a laureate wreath rather than a crown. The reverse, according to Totten, is perhaps a figure of a centaur walking to the right and looking back. Its flan (the metal disk from which coin is made) seems to be of a North African (Egyptian) or Middle Eastern type. This coin probably dates to a similar period to that of the two antoniniani (singular antoninianus). While Totten is confident that the coins are genuine, he warns that such coins are easy to obtain from coin dealers.

In 1963, a small hoard of Roman coins from the same approximate period, and in a much better state of preservation, was found during bridge construction on the north bank of the Ohio River, at the Falls of the Ohio, opposite Louisville, Kentucky.

Breathitt Co., population 16,100 in 2000, is on the upper Kentucky River, in the southeastern portion of the state. The county seat is Jackson, pop. 2,490. Two of the larger towns are named Quicksand and Lost Creek, but the 2000 U.S. Census couldn't find either. The nearest metropolis is Hazard (which may or may not be the inspiration for the "Dukes of Hazzard" TV series), pop. 4,806, and one county to the south.

Mr. Griffith is difficult to contact, but is known to Mr. David Feldman, President of Feldman Lumber Co. in Lancaster, Ky.

The author wishes to thank Prof. Norman Totten, Dr. John Payne, of Berea, Ky., and Mr. David Feldman of Lancaster, Ky., for their invaluable assistance.

Gianfranco Rosi vs Duane Thomas 03-01-1988

Boxing Syko

WBC World Super Welterweight Title Fight

Venue: Palazzo Dello Sport, Genoa, Liguria, Italy


************


Gianfranco Rosi

Gianfranco Rosi (born 5 August 1957) retired Italian boxer who was a two-time world champion in the light-middleweight division.


Professional career

Rosi turned pro in 1979 and won the WBC light-middleweight title in 1987 by decisioning Lupe Aquino. He lost the belt in 1988 when he was dominated by Donald Curry. Rosi was down once in 2nd, 4th and 8th and down twice in 7th, failing to answer the bell starting the 10th round.

In 1989 he won the IBF light-middleweight title by outpointing the undefeated Darrin Van Horn. He went on to successfully defend the title an impressive 11 times. In 1994 he had a technical draw against Vincent Pettway, and in the rematch later that year Pettway KO'd Rosi, ending his long reign.

In 1995 he took on WBO light-middleweight title holder Verno Phillips and won a decision, but Rosi failed a drug test and Phillips was reinstated as champion. The result of the bout was changed to a No Contest. In 1997 he lost a rematch to Phillips and retired.

In 2003 he came out of retirement, and finally retired in 2006 at the age of 49 with a pro record of 62 wins (18 KOs), 6 losses, and 1 draw.


Amateur career

Rosi had a record of 94 wins - 2 losses - 4 draws Highlights:

1976 Italian Light-Welterweight Champion

1977 Italian Welterweight Champion


************


Born in Assisi in the province of Perugia (Umbria), Gianfranco Rosi took a 32-1 record into a European Welterweight Championship bout in 1984 with future world welterweight champion Lloyd Honeyghan from the UK. Rosi lost his first big bout, but won his next nine--including winning the European Junior Middleweight title and defending it twice--and took a 41-2 record into a bout with world champion Luge Aquino of Mexico, a much more dangerous opponent than Honeyghan. Rosi won a unanimous decision to take the belt.

There were so many outstanding boxers worldwide in the 80s, especially between 147 and 160 pounds. Next he defended the belt against another very hard punching boxer, former champion Duane Thomas of Detroit, winning by knockout. Although he lost in his next defense against former welterweight champion Donald Curry, he eventually won the world title back and defended it eleven times before losing.

The Discovery and Restoration of Leonardo da Vinci's Long-Lost Painting "Salvator Mundi" | Robb Report

Robb Report

Leonardo da Vinci is one of history's greatest artists and thinkers. Only about 15 of his paintings are known to exist and one was thought to be lost forever. Leonard painted that masterpiece, called "Salvator Mundi" (Savior of the World) around 1500. It was owned by no less than three kings and, in 1763, it disappeared. This video tells the story of that incredible painting, how it was rediscovered in 2005, and what happened when it went to auction at Christie's in November 2017.

[This portion was originally from the CCNA blog - entitled 'Disciplina Etrusca' by Voltumna - May 31, 2015]

This band named itself after the supreme god of the Etruscan pantheon, "Voltumna" (also called "Veltha"), which I just covered a bit on the other blog ('Etruscan women, mythology, and the god Veltha'). Black Metal music is a lot like the old Heavy Metal music in that some of it is truly good, while most you would probably have to really like the genre to appreciate. This particular song wouldn't be my first choice to promote, but I love the theme! The 'Disciplina Etrusca' was the text of ancient Etruscan polytheism, which was made up of the three "books of fate."

Beyond the larger Black Metal genre, are the sub-genres of "Celtic Black Metal," "Viking Black Metal," etc., etc. One thing this music offers is a clear link to folk-identity, in this case "Etruscan Black Metal." The band's lyrical theme is defined as "Etruscan Paganism, Mythology, Modern Decay"; and it's genre as Black/Death Metal. This additionally suggests a type of Gothic element to it. Dark symbolism can be beautiful, and could be an outlet for people, primarily younger people, who feel alienated by society.

This song is brand new; just released today in fact. The band is from Viterbo, Latium, and has been around since 2009. Viterbo was one of the city-states of the Etruscan civilization. In a Western society which makes a special point to squash identity (individual and collective), I think it's great that people can turn to their ancestors for inspiration and strength. It's not just Black Folk Metal, but there are many other genres which are folk-oriented in this manner. I mean something a little beyond a band merely playing folk music from a certain culture. There's often a rebel-aspect to it. 

If you don't like Black Metal, maybe seek out some of the other types of music within this concept. There's one band from Sardinia called Atrium Animae which is under a genre called "Atmospheric Neoclassical Darkwave," which is hauntingly beautiful.. and is based on what appears to be a Medieval Catholic style. There is Irish Black Metal, Odinic music of many sounds, Slavic, you name it. You might find something you like within one of these folk-spiritual-identity sub-genres.



I like music of just about every texture and harmony, but I don't like "sad music." There are enough things in this life to be sad or depressed about; especially when we lose people. Something inspirational is great, especially when there's that blood-folk connection with a spiritual tie-in. Black Metal is almost like fighting music. Perhaps we need some of that in our lives, because often life is a war. Evolutionary struggle.
