Nuclear war is very possible soon

To the right is literally the instructions just handed out within a couple of days to everyday institutions in Russia (government offices, schools, law enforcement, hospitals, etc.) regarding how to react during a nuclear war. The English translation can be read HERE. If you think that this is perhaps a little bit exaggerated, consider that early this past summer New York City ran a public service message regarding the same thing; what to do in the event of a nuclear war. I have my own ideas about what the bigger picture is, but that doesn't matter now as this would be all about pure survival at that point.

Stanislav Petrov was a lieutenant colonel of the Soviet Air Defence Forces, who in 1983 received a false alarm order to launch nuclear missiles at the United States. He actually disobeyed the order. Thirty years later, a film about the incident was released entitled 'The Man Who Saved the World'. Of course, had he obeyed the order as he was sworn to do, it's possible that much of the planet would be uninhabitable today, and obviously the death toll and unfathomable damage that would include. It's even theoretically possible that life on the planet could be eliminated.

Even if it wasn't entirely eliminated, the planet could lose it's atmosphere which would be lights out for any future life. We would be finished for-ever. Our planetary atmosphere has a ceiling of only forty miles. What gets me is someone like Klaus Schwab, who very openly has so much to say--in finite detail--about the miserable conditions humans will live in and be totally controlled in a future technocratic dictatorship.... is totally absent regarding this crisis! All he and his Globalist ilk are interested in talking about is the "Great Reset"... a planet totally devoted to them and their small progeny. So perhaps they know something that we don't know about this crisis.

Mayhem in Italy

I could post the links to the many, many videos of people from certain places--legal and illegal--doing certain things in Italy. This site might best be served by not posting them. I will just post one link here in which you may just search out "Italy" or "Italian," and see the many things that these certain groups do over there. All sorts of things such as violent assaults, sex crimes, taking hammers to ancient statues, hijacking school buses and setting them on fire with the students still inside, leaders of these various groups openly stating what their goals are, doing really gross things in supermarkets that I simply can't write here, etc, etc. The one link I'll share is....

"Right and Left" mean little today

The old "right-left paradigm" exists mostly in thought-form today. It wasn't too many years ago that the United States voted in someone as president who ran on a clear anti-war platform, then spent eight years doing little more than serve the same bankers and war profiteers on Wall Street who financed him and made certain that he got good press from the 6-corporation mainstream media that they hold massive stock in! There is really no "Left" anymore; just two opposing forces. The stronger of the two is Globalization, a finite far right politic which was designed to consolidate power in as few hands as possible worldwide, and which uses sideshow-type movements to mask over what they really are: Far Right Technocrats.

The opposition is Nationalism, generally a very watered down version, and is more conservative than actually "right wing." The Globalists have more power, are better organized, have more of an overall objective, more of the choke-points of power through trained agents, more influence through unelected bureaucrats, more transnational corporate power, and certainly much more financial power internationally. They shout out "racism" at ever turn, despite the fact that they've bankrolled horrors around the globe for centuries! By "they," I'm referring to the coalition of the three primary global banking empires who put this whole idea together.

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

 

So many brilliant women around the world have answered the call on this one--Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, Dr. Carrie Madej, Dr. Dolores Cahill, Dr. Christiane Northrup, Dr. Karen Kingston, Dr. Jane Ruby, etc--and at great personal risk. One could say that a lot of this goes right back to the message put out by Joan Veon, who was of our people, about what these Globalists were up to... and it wasn't heeded. After a very successful career as a financial adviser, Joan was ready to retire early, but had attended some of these Globalist symposiums... which were NOT attended nor covered by the world press, and could see there were some major problems for humanity. She put all of the information, right from their own literature, into a view of the bigger picture that people could understand. These problems should have been taken care of decades ago. Well, now the bill is due! One could stick to the very literature, reports, and words of these people for decades--without speculating one bit--and come to a crystal clear conclusion. However now, it's just right out in the open.


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

 

The World Economic Forum is one of many interfaces between the high-minded "Global Elite" and the world which they seek to subjugate. To the left is Klaus Schwab, who has nothing inherently in his background in particular which stands out, except that he belongs to a German secret society called Fraternitas Saturni. Many of these secret societies change their name and give a different outward look every fifty or one hundred years, but remain a corrosive force in the world. This society was behind the Thule Society, the German General Staff, and a number of other groups which were designed to springboard into National Socialism. That's fact, but I would speculate that this and other movements in history were designed to be altogether temporary arrangements to meet much more long-term goals.

This animal is on record saying to the people of the world for their 2030 goals, "You will own nothing, and be happy." He also openly talks about getting rid of farming, and harvesting insects for people to eat instead. He has taken the basic concepts from what Globalist institutions have been saying for many years, and putting a more extremist spin on them; probably to gauge the world population to see if they resist it or not. As it stands now, as these secret societies massively introduce fetishes from their theology (ex. "the Alchemical Marriage") into every aspect of popular culture... so far people have done little else but embrace them. Subconsciously they seem to absorb what the now corrupted state, media, education, corporatocracy, judicial, entertainment, etc. are advising them to do, and mindlessly doing it... or at least condoning it with their fear and/or silence.

Yuval Noah Harari is an Israeli professor with a number of self-styled titles, but really is another Globalist mouth piece, who was put in that position because of his hidden affiliations. He is, or at least pretending to be, a lapdog for Klaus Schwab. He's on record saying "Humans are now hackable animals. The whole idea that humans have this 'soul' or 'spirit', and nobody knows what's happening inside them, and they have free will-that's over." These quotes are right on video, so they're easy to confirm. Just watch them and listen to their own words! Schwab and Harari have never really innovated anything, nor have they likely ever driven in a nail or screw or sawed a piece of wood. They were put in the positions they are through their hidden affiliations, and hold a deep hatred for humanity. The most dangerous people in the world are not Islamic extremists nor Central American drug cartels, but these Anglo, German, and Jewish death cults. The atrocities which they've committed over just the last several centuries is unfathomable in human history. The British Empire invented the "concentration camp," and they used them. Yet, they never stop, they never go away.

It's important to realize that there have been many others like them, but these are just two of the main figures on the scene today. The late Zbigniew Brzezinski, a political handler for the Global Elite, was the same type of agent. The late Maurice Strong was seemingly an ordinary person, but he was a cloak and dagger member, and suddenly became a billionaire banker with all sorts of "plans for the world." He was established as a front man, not on his own. I could think of dozens of more of them in different fields of human endeavor, corrupting everything they touch. Corrupting science itself! There's always a short or long term, self-serving purpose. It's to the point now that nothing is actually real in the minds of most people, unless this coalition gives its consent to its reality... or they can just make up anything!!

 

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

 

President Harry S. Truman, throughout his life, carried a fragment of his favorite poem--'Locksley Hall' by Alfred Lord Tennyson--in his wallet. The following is that fragment...

 

'Locksley Hall'

"For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be;

Saw the pilots of the purple twilight, dropping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with with shouting, and there rain’d a ghastly dew
From the nations’ airy navies grappling in the central blue;

Far along the world-wide whisper of the south-wind rushing warm,
Till the war-drum throbb’d no longer, and the battle-flags were fulr’d
In the parliament of man, the federation of the world,

There the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in awe,
And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapt in universal law."

 

Why would any American, especially one who would become an American president, be inspired by a poem about a World Government with a World Law? George H.W. Bush gave a pretty clear answer to that some decades later. One could argue that this is just some poem, and it doesn't really mean anything. I'm not of the belief that members of a cloak and dagger society, and their many aggressions, simply "don't mean anything." However, this curious factoid is just one of hundreds of similar oddities coming from the same basic suspects. A clear pattern of thought and behavior. Then he went on to make the decision to drop atomic bombs on civilian populations in an already defeated country.

"The atom bomb was no 'Great Decision'. It was merely another powerful weapon in the arsenal of righteousness." --Harry S. Truman

Each agent represents a deep rabbit hole that could fill a long study. For example, nobody would think of Cecil Rhodes (above) as anything more than a footnote in history, yet he was a person who transformed the world. He talked a good talk about how the British Empire was going to recapture the United States, yet after he died, his massive fortune was willed to a foreign bank. This was in contrast to everything he ever publicly stated, or that he wrote in his 'Confession of Faith', which all symbolizes the clear pattern of behavior of these people; similar to the "patriotism" in Harry Truman's wallet.

IMF wants to institute "social credit scoring" to the world (based on "internet browsing history")

'IMF wants credit scores to be based on browsing'

Nick Farrell - Fudzilla.com - August 20, 2021

So that is most of the world stuffed

A post from the International Monetary Fund suggests that it would be a good idea to base your credit score on your browsing habits.

If the idea is followed, it could mean some serious changes in the way credit is obtained and mean you could be denied a mortgage based on what you were viewing.

Four researchers presented their findings from a working paper that examines the current relationship between finance and tech and sees the possibility of using the data from your browsing, search, and purchase history to create a more accurate mechanism for determining the credit rating of an individual or business.

The concept of using your web history to inform credit ratings is framed around the notion that lenders rely on hard-data that might obscure the worthiness of a borrower or paint an unnecessarily dire picture during hard times.

I recall seeing a bumper sticker once that read "LEGALIZE FREEDOM." Unfortunately, it keeps going in the opposite direction, and those whom we may believe would be against it are often in full support of it. Shills in many of these various global institutions, foundations, and think tanks have been discussing issues like this since the mid-90s that I know of. After 911, some of the things they discussed were outrageous, and few of it actually came into being. Super-insider Zbigniew Brzezinski used to be a really good source for this type of "futurism" because it actually ended up happening, but he's gone now. Often the strategy is for them to ask for much more power than they actually want, while other times it's to test the waters to see what they may be able to get away with.

~Solidarity-With-Catalonia~



.
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?

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.

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.”

Predator or Prey?




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.

'Spain's government seeks rebellion and sedition charges against Catalonia's leaders'

'Spain's government seeks rebellion and sedition charges against Catalonia's leaders'

Molly Hennessy-Fiske - Los Angeles Times - October 30, 2017

Catalonia’s ousted president has traveled to Brussels and been offered asylum, Spanish authorities said Monday soon after indicating that prosecutors were filing charges against him and other regional leaders related to their declaration of independence last week.

Spanish prosecutors in Madrid said they were asking judges for rebellion, sedition and embezzlement charges against Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont and others who were dismissed by Spain’s central government.

Puigdemont and a majority of Catalonia’s parliament declared independence Friday, but the Spanish government then fired them under a special constitutional provision and called new regional elections Dec. 21.

The attorney general, José Manuel Maza, did not order their immediate arrest, saying he wanted to urgently prosecute the 20 politicians and ordering them to appear in court in Madrid in coming days.

Jaume Alonso-Cuevillas, Puigdemont's attorney, told Antena 3 television that the attorney general’s claim that his client was guilty of rebellion was “real nonsense.”

Puigdemont did not immediately comment. A spokeswoman for his party, Marta Pascal, said she could not confirm whether he would appear in court to face charges. “I’ve talked with him, and he’s fine,” she said at a news conference.

The Madrid government had warned members of the Catalan cabinet that they could remove belongings from their offices Monday but if they tried to perform official duties, they would face charges.

'Spain on the Brink: Deposed Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont 'refuses to be fired' and vows to fight Madrid direct rule'

Spain remains on a knife-edge as tensions between both sides continue to grow, with brawls already having broken out in Barcelona last night

By Brittany Vonow, Mark Hodge, and Jennifer Awford - 'The Sun' (UK) - October 29, 2017


CATALAN'S deposed leader has seemingly refused to concede he had been sacked as he called for calm in Spain as the country teeters on the brink of its worst political crisis in four decades.

As the Spanish government held its first meeting to discuss their new roles since imposing direct rule over Catalonia, Carles Puigdemont instead promised to continue to build a "free country", and called for "democratic opposition" to Madrid.

In the pre-recorded, televised message, Puigdemont urged people to continue pushing for independence, saying: "We do not deviate: we continue persevering in the only attitude that can make us winners.

"Without violence, without insults, in an inclusive way, respecting people and symbols, opinions, and also respecting the protests of the Catalans who do not agree with what has decided the parliamentary majority."

As pro-unity protesters crowds took to the streets on Saturday, screaming "prison for Puigdemont", the leader said "patience, perseverance and perspective" was needed.

It comes after fears that the country could further descend into violence have surfaced after the Prime Minister ordered fresh elections and fired Catalonia's hero police chief who led its response to the Barcelona ISIS terror attack.

Catalonia officials have also been stripped of their powers across civil service, finances and public media, with all eyes on whether independence supporters will carry out their threat of peaceful resistance to Madrid's takeover.

Fights erupted on the streets of Barcelona last night as both sides of the argument took to the streets and further protests were held in Madrid today amid fears local police could resist the national force.


con't....



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


Obviously the Spanish government does not recognize the Catalonians as any sort of distinct and unique people, language, and culture. After decades of being prepped by Globalist interests, there's no turning back as far as that governmental apparatus... and all of the others for that matter. The Spanish government is really no worse than the Italian government, or Britain, France, Germany, etc. They believe that Catalonia is merely an "administrative zone," and that a Catalonian has no more right to it than a Yemeni migrant. Spain is like Shawshank Prison; the Spanish government is like Warden Norton; Catalonia is like Andy Dufresne. "How dare you leave us and take away all of your energy and talent! We need the wealth that you generate in order to survive!" Pitiful. There is at least some slim degree of mainstream support for Catalonia; from Scotland, Portugal to a smaller extent.

'Italy's 2 richest regions claim victory in autonomy votes'



'Italy's 2 richest regions claim victory in autonomy votes'

MILAN (AP) — The presidents of Italy's wealthy northern regions of Veneto and Lombardy on Sunday claimed victory in autonomy referendums that seek to grab additional powers and tax revenue from Rome, riding a global tide of self-determination that has swamped Spain's Catalonia region.

The votes were nonbinding, but the leaders of the neighboring regions hope to leverage strong turnout in talks with Italy's center-left government. As leading members of the anti-migrant, anti-EU Northern League, they want to keep more tax revenue and have autonomy over such policy areas as immigration, security, education and environment.

"This is the big bang of institutional reform," Veneto President Luca Zaia said in Venice. "We are convinced, and I hope Rome understands, that this is not the wish of a political party. These are the wishes of the people."

In Milan, his counterpart in Lombardy, Roberto Maroni, said that with the votes, the two regions "can unify our forces so we can do the battle of the century." The two leaders say they will meet with their regional councils to finalize their requests before going to Rome to meet with Premier Paolo Gentiloni.

Unlike in Catalonia, the referendums do not seek independence and were approved by Italy's constitutional court. Still, the autonomy drive is a powerful threat to Rome's authority. Together, Veneto and Lombardy account for 30 percent of Italy's GDP and nearly one-quarter of the nation's electorate.

Maroni said an overwhelming 95 percent of his region's vote went to "yes," with turnout above 40 percent of Lombardy's 8 million voters. That far exceeded the bar for success that he set at 34 percent, which was the turnout for a national referendum on constitutional reform in 2001.

Independence-minded Veneto easily met a turnout threshold to validate the vote set by Zaia, with some 60 percent of the region's 4 million voters casting ballots. According to early returns, 98 percent voted "yes."

'Italy facing its OWN Catalonia: Referendums in Lombardy and Venice could TOPPLE EU'

ITALY could face its own Catalonia-style break-up with controversial referendums scheduled for both Lombardy and Venice.

Joey Millar - Sunday Express (UK) - October 5, 2017

This month the Lombardy region and the city of Venice will both vote on new powers of autonomy at referendums which are now taking on increasing levels of controversy.

Previously seen as a low-scale vote on local powers, the referendums are now experiencing symbolic overtones following last Sunday’s Catalonian chaos.

Last weekend more than 800 people were injured by police as a referendum on independence for Catalonia was held - against the express wishes of leaders in Madrid and Brussels.

And now Italy is facing similar chaos with two referendums set to be held on October 22, although in these instances the votes are state-approved and will not face violent opposition.

Over 90% of Catalonians vote for independence, despite extreme Spanish police violence




POLICE VIOLENCE IN CATALONIA

The Exposer

That's why Barcelona and Las Pamas won't be played, security can't be assured. Catalan referendum: 337 injured amid reports of rubber bullets fired by Spanish police. Violence breaks out in Barcelona as riot police attack protests, while Catalans cast independence votes in peaceful defiance of Spanish government.

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

POLICE VIOLENCE IN CATALONIA (Part 2)





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

The Globalist Spanish government have recruited police, from all other administrative regions of Spain, and dispatched them into Catalonia in a last minute attempt to prevent the referendum. 40% of the total GNP of Spain comes from the little state of Catalonia, which has only 14% of the population! The simple truth is  that the Spanish government believes that they preside over mere administrative regions where rootless bankers, Capitalists, Marxists, migrants, and perverts can collect their "entitlements" at the expense of the descent worker and small business person. 

This police action is very similar to the manner in which the UK has used it's military in Northern Ireland over the years. The tribal resolve of the collective Catalonian people has ultimately proven to be stronger than separatists from Ireland, Scotland, Padania, Venetia, the Basque Country, and other regions. This is far from over. Catalonia needs to seize full control of their land from an enemy foreign government by forming a provisional army immediately! This almost reminds of the the Five Days of Milan where the people literally defeated the Austrian army.

'Catalonia’s independence referendum could create new country within 48 hours of result'


'Catalonia’s independence referendum could create new country within 48 hours of result'

Ships full of police are on standby in Barcelona ahead of a key vote that could see a new country created by this time next week

Victoria Craw - News.com/au - September 27, 2017

THE world could have a new country with an independence referendum set to be held in Spain’s Catalonia region on Sunday.

The wealthy area that is home to 5.5 million eligible voters and includes Barcelona plans to hold a vote on whether it should secede from the rest of the country. If successful, draft plans include a declaration of independence within 48 hours.

But Spanish authorities have declared the vote illegal, and have sent police from around the country with the aim to prevent people from attending polling stations.

The Madrid-based government has also seized millions of ballot papers, arrested officials, and left a huge ship in Barcelona’s harbour housing extra Spanish police in the expectation that violence could break out.

Spain’s chief public prosecutor refused to rule out arresting Catalonia's regional leader Carles Puigdemont, and charging him with civil disobedience, abuse of office and misuse of funds over the vote.

Local leaders say they have the right to decide the future of the region that has a distinct language and cultural identity. However, Spain’s Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has repeatedly called the vote illegal with the legislation underpinning it suspended in Constitutional Court.

Spanish President Rajoy in Washington D.C.; Trump interference

'Trump, Rajoy commit to fighting threats to democracy'

Maybe President Trump needs to remember that the USA was formed 100% "illegally." In other words, it was illegal in terms of British law. Americans did not defeat the British; they WERE the British! They "illegally" defeated their own government in a rouge act. This is different in that Catalonia is a distinct region, culture, language, and people that has been carrying Spain on it's back for decades. This vote and the impetus for secession is apparently legal. Of course, the Globalist/Fabianist Spanish government wants to keep the hen that lays the golden eggs, and turn it into a rootless migrant-magnet.

This reminds me of the sickening charade of the Austrians hanging Cesare Battisti as a "traitor." A scene from the 'Shawshank Redemption' comes to mind, where Andy finally tells Warden Norton that he can find someone else to do his crooked bidding for him... and the response of "nothing stops!" Right now we're almost at that point with this. Sometimes the class bully doesn't want to stop; he requires some strong encouragement. I don't know if Catalonia would be able to do that if the referendum passes. 

Every nation was born in blood; such as with the saying "might is right." Even Britain in the Middle Ages had to force the Gaels to become "British." I really don't know if the Catalonians would do something such as stand united in solidarity, as with the IRA in Ireland, in terms of perhaps shutting down the whole country if needed. A simple vote won't be enough... it will have to be a vote... and a push!

'With Populist Anger Rising, Italy May Be Next Domino to Fall'

'With Populist Anger Rising, Italy May Be Next Domino to Fall'

Jason Horowitz - New York Times - December 2, 2016

TURIN, Italy — Italy’s prime minister, Matteo Renzi, only 41, once seemed to have solved the riddle of how to survive Europe’s populist, anti-establishment tempest. But with a critical national referendum on Sunday, the populist wave is now threatening to crush him and plunge Italy into a political crisis when the European Union is already reeling.

From Washington to Brussels to Berlin, fears are rising that Italy may be stumbling into its own “Brexit” moment. What should be an inward-looking referendum on whether to overhaul Italy’s ossified political and electoral system has taken on much broader import. Financial analysts warn of a potential banking crisis, and pro-Europe supporters fear that a “no” vote in the referendum could accelerate the populist movement across the European bloc.

Italy is potentially the next domino to fall, partly because of the disillusionment of young voters. They have been swept up by many of the same forces that led peers in Spain and Greece to vote for upstart parties, the British to vote to leave the European Union, and Americans to elect Donald J. Trump. In France, President François Hollande announced on Thursday that he would not seek re-election — another establishment figure succumbing to the political moment.

Mr. Renzi’s supporters have taken to calling his opponents in the internet-born, populist Five Star Movement “Trumpisti.” They accuse their opponents’ numerous blogs and websites of flooding the Facebook accounts of young people with anti-Renzi, pro-Russian fake news. The referendum has essentially become a referendum on Mr. Renzi, who gave extra motivation to his political enemies by vowing to resign if voters reject the proposed political changes.


“A ‘no’ vote is a vote against Renzi,” said Matteo Roselli, 25, a liberal activist who spent a recent rainy evening in Turin handing out leaflets encouraging people to vote “no.”

With polls indicating that Mr. Renzi may fail, the possibility that he could resign, and force new elections or perhaps bring a caretaker government, has alarmed many leaders, including President Obama, who honored the Italian prime minister in his final state dinner in Washington and urged him to “hang around for a while no matter what.”

If Mr. Renzi does step aside, it could open the way for opponents who have threatened to carry the Continent’s fourth-largest economy out of the euro currency zone.

Such a prospect could destabilize the shaky Italian economy; have serious implications for Italy’s troubled banking system, which has been in crisis for a decade; and have a contagion effect around the eurozone.

“The problem with Italian banks is they are fragile and they are really big,” said Ángel Talavera, senior eurozone economist at Oxford Economics in London. “Banks of that caliber, as soon as you have any noise and rumors, it creates a really bad loop.”

Mr. Renzi, who captured Italians’ imagination by positioning himself as an outsider who would demolish an arthritic political system, is arguing that the constitutional overhaul proposed in the Sunday referendum would streamline government and create more stability in a country that has had 63 governments in 70 years. To speed up the often clogged legislative process, Mr. Renzi wants to drastically reduce the size of the Italian Senate and make it a mostly consultative body. Critically, the Senate would lose the power to bring down governing coalitions.

Critics say the proposal puts too much power in the prime minister’s hands. And Mr. Renzi is showing unexpected vulnerability among the young voters who helped propel his rise but now seem to want the same job protections and social benefits their parents had more than any opportunity Mr. Renzi’s changes might create. Much of the same dynamic has been playing out in Greece, Spain and even France.


The reversal has come despite Mr. Renzi’s image as the Coca-Cola guzzling, Apple-gadget-pecking embodiment of young Italians eager to modernize the country. According to a poll in the newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore, support for Mr. Renzi’s changes is strong among voters older than 65 and weak among people younger than 45, a group that opponents of the changes lead by 20 percentage points.

The beneficiary of that erosion appears to be the Five Star Movement, with its ability to win voters on the left and right with a mix of social liberalism, economic populism and tough law-and-order talk. It has been led by Beppe Grillo, 68, a former comedian who last month called Mr. Renzi a “serial killer” and celebrated Mr. Trump’s victory as a blunt rejection of the establishment.

In recent years, the merrily vulgar Mr. Grillo has stepped back so that a new generation of less rough, but perhaps no less radical, young politicians could step forward.

Here in Turin, Chiara Appendino, 32, beat Mr. Renzi’s favored Democratic Party candidate for mayor this year. In the election, she had the support of Mr. Roselli and many like him.

“Our voters are mainly young voters,” Ms. Appendino said after stepping out of the chandeliered City Hall chamber. “I believe there really is a generation of young people, and I feel in some way that I represent them, who have desire and ability, but who cannot get ahead.”

Ms. Appendino, who speaks German, French and English and is considered a rising star in her party, said that she did not consider herself anti-European, but she argued that the current European Union did not work.

Far from breaking with the establishment, Mr. Renzi had been co-opted by its bankers, bureaucrats and power brokers, she said.

Mr. Renzi is desperately trying to persuade Italians, a large slice of them still undecided, to back him.

“Today, we mustn’t get stuck in nostalgia,” Mr. Renzi told a crowd this week in Lingotto, the section of Turin that was once home to the automaker Fiat. “We must work for the future of our children.”

But even his young supporters worry that those words are wasted on the Italian youth, who as in so many other European countries are often unemployed.


In France, where the far-right National Front has emerged as a force, the youth unemployment rate is around 25 percent. And that looks good compared with Greece and Spain, both with more than 40 percent youth unemployment and strong populist movements.

In Italy, Mr. Renzi’s 2015 labor market overhaul, hailed by many investors, has so far failed to be the boon to employment his government expected. The youth unemployment rate is still around 35 percent. In the country’s south, where opposition to the change is solid, it is nearly 50 percent.

“The young are lined up against him,” Davide Giani, 20, said with a resigned shrug after an afternoon spent trying to hand out leaflets in support of a “yes” vote on the referendum only to see young Turinese turn them down. “They see this as an opportunity to lash out against the establishment.”

Back in the summer, Mr. Renzi predicted the gathering storm as he flew on the Italian Air Force One but nevertheless strained to see a silver lining in the unwrinkled faces of his new rivals.

“The good thing is that since we have come to power, there has been a generational leap forward,” Mr. Renzi said, adding that his likely opponents, Luigi Di Maio of the Five Star Movement and Matteo Salvini, the young leader of the anti-immigration and anti-Renzi Northern League, would be younger than he is. “Great!” he said. “A sign that something has changed.”

Some of Mr. Renzi’s older enemies across the political spectrum are latching onto the referendum to return to relevance. For them, the prospect of his premature exit has had the effect of a curtain call after a bloody opera, reanimating vengeful antagonists for a final bow on center stage.

Former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, 80, mindful that Mr. Renzi needs moderate center-right supporters, reversed his previous support for the constitutional overhaul out of sudden fear of “authoritarian drift.”

In Turin, former Prime Minister Massimo D’Alema, a member of Mr. Renzi’s Democratic Party who has received little deference from the current leader, delivered a disdain-dripping speech to mobilize elderly liberals and former communists against the change.


“He presents himself like the one who wants to rejuvenate the country, but the young people are against him,” Mr. D’Alema, 67, said in an interview, in which he mocked Mr. Renzi as a Twitter-obsessed “oaf” who had alienated labor unions and destroyed the left.

Mr. Renzi’s young supporters shudder at the very mention of Italy’s former leaders. On a rainy evening in Milan, Alessia Giuliani, 24, sat in a field office for the “yes” campaign hunched over lists of phone numbers she had spent the day calling in support of Mr. Renzi’s changes.

She spoke optimistically about all the older people who, having lived through scores of Italian governments, proclaimed their hope and confidence in Mr. Renzi.

But asked if she had had any luck persuading young people, her smile vanished and her hand landed woefully on her forehead.

“In general, the young voters are disinterested or for ‘no,’ ” explained her colleague, Stefano Angelinis, 24. “Many young people are going for Five Star.”
