Austria’s Reds And Greens – Russophobic AND Rude!

Some readers may remember various stresses and strains involved in drawing up a list of guests to be invited to a wedding.

=

It’s not usually the happy couple who create strife in these matters but rather sticky-beak in-laws-to-be, or other tiresome rels, getting some practice in for after the nuptials.

More trouble is caused in marriages by interfering outsiders than any disagreement between man and wife, as a rule.

=

=

Hence my interest in the report from Austria, where Karin Kneissl, the country’s Foreign Minister, was married last Saturday and had invited a foreign head of state to the big day.

Why not?

The visitor was in the vicinity and the invitation could only be good for inter-governmental relations.

It’ll mean some nice pix for the wedding album too!

=

 BUT…the guest is Vladimir Putin.

When Prince Harry married his beloved, there was talk of inviting Obummer, but I expressed no view on the prospect of having a racist rat at the wedding, because I believed that it was HRH and Meghan’s business, not mine or anyone else’s.

Alas, at least one Austrian Socialist shrew has no such respect for the wishes of a bride and groom.

=

Rude Regner

=

A boorish MEP named Evelyn Regner called the invite “a provocation of European proportions.” It was “shameful!”

And the pig-ignorant Green Party as a whole demanded that Ms. Kneissl resign!

=

=

The far-left rabid Russophobes shrilled balefully that “Vladimir Putin is the EU’s most aggressive enemy in matters of foreign policy”.

They need to check their song-sheets -usually Greens say THAT about Donald Trump!

If Chancellor Kurz had invited the Russian leader for a state visit, any politician of any party would be entitled to express views for or against the plan.

=

=

But somebody’s wedding?

No way.

Seems to me the Left were just being spiteful because Karin’s from the FPO patriot party.

Shared via the Google app

Kneissl, 53, who was nominated for the post by the far-right Freedom Party (FPOe), will marry businessman Wolfgang Meilinger in a ceremony in a wine-growing village near the southeastern city of Graz.

Putin confirmed he would be attending the wedding before heading to talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel near Berlin on Saturday evening.  Putin’s attendance was originally described as a “private event” by Kneissl’s office but has since been upgraded to a “workmy iPad

Solidarity With Poland, Against Historically Illiteracy!

Whilst I have defended RT against those who want to shut it down – which would be unfair unless state propaganda channels like Deutsche Welle, France24 and of course the BBC, were also shut down – its output can still rile me.

Hands Off RT! Somebody Should Start A Petition! 

Like this week, when it carried a story about ‘monuments’ which Poland intends to demolish.

A Russian MP wants to have a crowd-funding campaign to move them to Russia!

He’s “expressed concern about maintaining the historical memory of the liberation of Poland by the Soviet Army during WWII.’

=

=

‘Liberation.’

What a bloody nerve!

Stalin could have liberated Poland, or at least Warsaw, when the Polish patriots in the capital staged their heroic uprising. Instead, he not only ordered the Red Army to stand down outside the city and lick their lips as the German occupation forces crushed the Poles.

=

=

Worse, when the Western Allies wanted to drop supplies for the freedom-fighters, the Soviet dictator interdicted what could have been vital help.

Let’s also mention the Katyn Massacre, where thousands of Polish POWs were brutally murdered by the Communist terror forces, the NKVD, shot in the back of the neck and shoved into a mass grave.

=

=

That was a deliberate tactic to facilitate the post-war marxist take-over – the annihilation of much of Poland’s natural leadership was seen as a big boost to Stalin’s plan for a Red seizure of power.

So any chattering about how the Red Army ‘liberated Poland is offensive historical gibberish.

Having statues that glorify the Red Army in Poland, or any East/central European nation, is very much akin to having a statue of Adolf Eichmann in Tel Aviv.

–

=

• The Poles have, we read, ‘recently passed laws which ban any demonstration of Soviet symbols.’

• ======

Good work!

Individual Russian soldiers, like any such soldiers in any army, in any era, may well deserve our admiration for courage and sacrifice, but in 1945 they were in the service of a satanic cause.

=

=

The voluble Russian MP is quoted at length on his fury over a “a one-sided attempt to review the history of the Second World War that contradict the verdict of the Nuremberg Tribunal.” 

Without going into the rights and wrongs of the Nuremberg Tribunal’s particular verdicts…

=

Vishinsky – Stalin’s stooge-judge at Nuremberg

=

…it has long been recognised that its entire raison d’etre was morally flawed by the inclusion on the judges’ panel of a Soviet puppet like Vishinsky, nominated by a regime rooted in mass-murder.

If that historically illiterate Russian wants to haul such symbols off to Mother Russia, then before he starts talking hogwash about ‘liberation,’ he might reflect for a moment that the same regime that massacred, tortured and terrorised the Poles ALSO did the same to millions of Russians.

=

=

Any monument to men who fought for marxism, anywhere, deserves destruction.

Circumvent Google Gag Order! ‘Russia Today’ OK!

Just been channel surfing in my most agreeable lodgings far from home, but they have no Fox News!

However, a good alternative is RT! They had an excellent piece on the American Ambassador  to The Netherlands, first asserting honestly that there were no-go areas in that country, then, later, obviously having been ‘got at’ by somebody, saying reports of no-go areas in The Netherlands were ‘fake news!’

=

=

Wouldn’t see that kind of expose on the classic Fake News channel…

…whom we know you are wary of already! But are you aware of this!

 

====================

Google’s plans to “engineer” algorithms to make it harder for articles from Sputnik and RT to appear on the search engine’s news service is direct censorship and a violation of the fundamental principles of freedom of speech…

https://www.rt.com/newsline/410768-google-rt-sputnik-zakharova/

=====

========

That’s fighting talk, and that impressive blonde in our photo above, Maria Zakharova, at Russia’s Foreign Ministry, deserves support against Google’s nasty collaborationist game.

Google is hand in glove with the Brussels Empire, out to prevent voices of resistance being heard.

=

==

We heard only last month from a British MP who made it very clear that people who challenge the ruling ideologies of the Western elites are hard-pressed to find Western media that’ll give them a fair hearing. He was talking about one of RT’s talk-shows.

 “The News Thing has given me a fair chance to explain my opinions on Brexit immigration and transgender issues, for which I am grateful,” Davies said.

David Davies MP

“Sadly, I have not received the same courtesy from the British Broadcasting Corporation. Instead, on several occasions, its highly paid presenters have criticised me by name without giving me a right of response.”

  https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/nov/18/mps-kremlin-propaganda-channel-rt

Back to the Russian blonde!

Such artificial ranking of search results “if introduced, will contradict both common sense and the human right to free access to information on the Internet,” she said. The move will also directly affect normal competition among the media, Zakharova added.

I suggest that patriots take careful note of the RT link, and Sputnik’s, and check in on them two or three times a week, to get fair and free reporting on people and politics – Convicted Torturer’s Phoney Kwanzaa Holiday Exposed –  on whom and on which you might otherwise get VERY slanted news!

Safeguard Kids From Queers? No Way, Say Robed Rogues

The European Court of Human Rights ruled that a Russian law banning what it describes as the promotion of homosexuality to minors breached European treaty rules…

====

 

=======

The report goes on to say that the Russians will appeal against this sleazy Strasbourg diktat, but surely they’d be better just to tell the sticky-beaks to shove it.

Let’s be clear – the law is little different from the excellent Clause 28 which was on the UK statute book from Mrs’ Thatcher’s time until a pro-queer majority of parliamentarians repealed it under Bliar.

The Russian law does not affect the ‘right’ of adult homos to bugger each other as often as they please…

…, but simply protects children from proselytising in schools and other places where aberrants might think to recruit youngsters to their squalid life-style.

But those foul clowns on the ECHR don’t even pay much heed to the youth protection aspect…

====

=====

…their obsessive decree being little more than cheer-leading for Brussels’ gaystapo.

“…by adopting such laws, the authorities had reinforced stigma and prejudice and encouraged homophobia, which was incompatible with the values of a democratic society.”

Abhorrence of sexual perversion is incompatible with the values of a democratic society?

Europe used to be known as Christendom.

But under the regime of the Euro-Commissars, it has seen the spread of intolerance…

…whereby citizens with religious values, or even irreligious people who simply retain a taste for traditional decencies, get stomped, harassed, fined  and otherwise penalised for their beliefs.

Good on ya, Russia, and let’s hope Putin stays the course in the fight against these un-elected creeps.

British Thought Likely Doomed? Soviet Echoes in UK!

A somewhat sad article in the UK’s Telegraph, recounting how the ‘th‘ sound is likely to vanish from the English language in a generation or so.

The “th” sound – also called the voiced dental nonsibliant fricative – is likely to change to be replaced an “f”, “d”, or “v” meaning “mother” will be pronounced “muvver” and “thick” will be voiced as “fick.” 

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2016/09/28/th-sound-to-vanish-from-english-language-by-2066-because-of-mult/

=

 

=

If I remember correctly, the abolition of  ‘th’ letter was one ‘reform’ quickly imposed on Russia when the Bolsheviks seized power in their 1917 coup.  Anything – like a softly aspirated consonant directly descended from the Greek ‘theta’  – that preserved refinement in the Cyrillic alphabet was clearly anathema to the Communist nation-killers.

The impending change in the British Isles is not however driven by latter-day Red terror.

=

=

It is is said to be yet another blight inflicted by multicult migration, importing aliens who find it beyond their abilities to assimilate to the linguistic standards of their host nation, just as many of them cannot adapt to civilised norms.

Wot will da BBC make of dis?

=

=

To be fair, I can remember how even in the 1960s there were BBC news readers inexplicably mispronouncing ‘India’ as ‘Indiar!‘

And failing repeatedly to aspirate that W in ‘what.’

Now I’ll sit back and let the experts assail my analysis.

Fourth Reich Rising? Merkel’s Phoney ‘Festung Europa!’

A fine lazy Sunday gone, spent largely eating bacon, eggs and fried potatoes, in between reading and sleeping.

Today heavy rain woke me, so up I got, turned on the tv to see what latest horrors have been inflicted on the world.

——-

=

Sure enough, Mama Stasi Merkel’s unappealing face was on the screen –  but the BBC switched quickly to give us some ‘informed’ comment on her outburst.

……

………..

Their choice?

A snarling, snearing leftist academic in California, named Thomas Mann, who made good use of his five minutes to insult President Trump and diss Britain’s democratic Brexit decision.

So what’s new?

—

“Europe is the answer!”

That from Martin Schulz, in an immediate echo of Merkel’s melodramatic shrilling on Sunday about how Europe has to forge its own path forward, as the United States and Britain were no longer reliable partners.

===

——

Schulz added that “we cannot let ourselves be subjugated to Trump’s rearmament policy,” then likened the American President’s ‘presentation and attitude‘ to ‘that of a dictator.‘ Merkel: Europe can no longer rely on US and Britain

Which is pretty rich, given his Socialist Party’s own distaste for democracy.

Hitler’s SPD Heirs – ‘Media Must Gag Critics of Crimmigration!’ 

————
In fact, of course, these two peas in a pod, pictured above, perhaps listening to ‘ancestral voices prophesying war,’ may be rivals for the job of Kanzler . or should we now redefine that as Fuhrer?… 

=

=

 BUT are not at all interested in the preservation of the historic nation-states of Europe.  

Their Kulturkampf against Poland and Hungary, bent on bludgeoning those countries into a modern multicult model of Hitler’s Festung Europa, a supranational collective governed by Euro-Commissars in Brussels, has made that perfectly clear.

========

• 

=

Merkel created the migrant mess and she is diligently working with Juncker to extend its ruinous impact into countries guiltless of creating the misery and mayhem brought by the horde.

But while cultural marxists are wicked, they are far from stupid. Merkel and Schulz alike read the polls, and are grubbing for the votes of those who’d welcome a re-play of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact, playing to the lowest common denominator, the appeasement mind-set among a large number of Germans.

Fifty-three percent of Germans said their country should not honour the Nato treaty “if Russia got into a serious military conflict with one of its neighbouring countries that is our Nato ally…”  https://euobserver.com/foreign/138000.

This alarming development may have many explanations ( and the sense of betrayal and desolation consequent to the crimmigrant tsunami may well be one) but the constant hectoring and menaces issued against Poland, in particular – –Deutsche Welle – Merkel’s Media Lap-Dog Snarls At Poland!   – should be seen as a contributory factor.

But what would their Festung Europa, without the ‘unreliable’ Anglo-Saxon powers, amount to?

---

Liar Juncker blesses his servile acolyte Schulz

=

Schulz’s very own words, quoted above, suffice to show us that any such ‘European Fortress’ under his command would not be burdened by any naughty nonsense about ‘re-armament.’

And any Continental country that imagines they’d be in safe hands with Mama at the helm should be reminded that this is the same wretched woman who shrank even from the defence of her own nation’s sovereign borders when faced by alien invasion.

Solidarity With Russia!

Sorry I produced nothing for the blog yesterday.

I was out all day, going around town, North Jakarta in the morning, Senayan for lunch, up past Tanah Abang at tea-time and a great get-together with foreign and local friends in the evening.

Home late, and now up today with little to do, so I atone for my sin of omission by expressing belated solidarity with Russia.

=

Young French patriots show solidarity with Russia after a previous Islamist attack,

=

As in Paris and London and Berlin and Nice, we read about innocents slaughtered by a satanic beast who has apparently been killed along with his victims…

==

==

…so that’s one more sectarian pig who will be burning in Hell’s hottest corner as we go about our everyday activities this sunny Wednesday morning. 

If the atrocity in St. Petersburg is indeed another example of Islamist evil, I trust that President Putin will be more likely to hit back effectively, more than most Western leaders ever do.

With the exception of the Berlin truck-pig and similar excellent responses by French cops, none of the perps has got what’s right and proper, a bullet where it matters.  

• 

• Firing squads or the guillotine, that’s how all our governments should be handling these terrorist scumbags .

I certainly hope that if the Russia security forces close in on any of the cur’s collaborators, they will make short work of them.

It’s important for all of us to say something about St. Petersburg, in view of the callous indifference among the Western elites towards Russia, which even CNN had to notice..

==

As Russia mourns St. Petersburg attack, Europe shows little solidarity

 ..because, despite the tantrums of the Brussels clique, Russia is a country with which Europe and America can and should work against the common enemy. 

Foreign Interference In French Vote? Merkel Is GUILTY!

Interference in other countries’ elections? The current most heinous sin in international affairs?

Let’s not forget who pioneered this sin.

Mama Stasi Merkel!

——— 

She BOASTED of her intended interference in French elections five years ago, an arrogant stance which met with NO protests from the French Left/Media alliance.

…….

Here’s part of our post on Mama Stasi’s overt intrusion, 02/02/12.

In a quite brazen act of interference in the internal politics of a sovereign and friendly neighbour, ‘Angela Merkel announced she would help campaign for French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s bid for re-election.’ …. It’s one thing to hold opinions about foreign politics, but ‘to actively support Nicolas Sarkozy with joint appearances in the campaign’ is quite another….

”””””’’

 Sarkozy
EUObserver quotes one ‘senior diplomat.’ “It’s not even Merkozy anymore, it’s just Merkel now,” he said.

“If Ms Merkel wants to come to France to defend the incumbent, she is totally free to do that,” Hollande said “If Ms Merkel campaigns for the incumbent, I’m still going to work well with her when I’m elected in May.”

For the whole post, and the EUObserver link, check out our link – 

Fuhrerin Merkel Sticks Nose into France, Jackboot into Greece

The silence of the left/liberal fake news industry then contrasts starkly with today’s orchestrated outrage.= viz.

While the Left Media in the USA continues its confusionist strategy of laying off the sleazy Clinton Democrat clique (“Yes, they’re dirty but let’s blame ‘Wicked Vladimir’ for exposing them!”)

============================

• 
• …………………..

• …suddenly a less well-known European media outlet, The Local (aka The Leftal) has splashed a largely unsubstantiated story, adapting the ‘Putin Plot’ strategy to attack the French patriot party of Marine Le Pen!

—————

• 
• ———————–

• Marine is currently favourite in the up-coming presidential race to succeed  the pro-crimmigrant Hollande.
• Her ‘conservative’ rival, Fillon, is in trouble over his wife’s job.
• The Socialist Party has chosen a very far-left candidate.
• So who is Marine’s main foe? 
• As we’ve noted before, the worst possible result for France would be that man Macron.

France’s Macron – A Mere Merkel Sycophant! 

………….

Emmanuel Macron

====

Here’s the scary headline, revealing all, or at least a lot, of allegations and outrage – read it via the link http://www.thelocal.fr/20170214/can-moscow-really-derail-emmanuel-macron-french-election and find whatever proof you can, amid a blizzard of wild allegations. 

Can Russia really derail Emmanuel Macron?

---

Breathlessly one of The Leftal’s lefty hacks (anonymous, of course) asks himself a question..–

…can Moscow really scupper Emmanuel Macron’s chances and boost those of Marine Le Pen?

…

Being a polite pinko, he answers it immediately!

It seems Russian efforts have begun in earnest.

Evidence?

Macron’s campaign thinks so!

“We are in the presence of an orchestrated attempt to destabilize a candidate in the presidential election by a foreign power,” said Richard Ferrand, secretary-general of Macron’s En Marche! (On The Move) movement. 

But foreign powers have been openly taking sides, at government level no less, for some time, not least in Madrid…

Spain’s Rajoy: Marine Le Pen win would mean ‘destruction of Europe

…and from the UK, with T. May’s diplomats under orders to discriminate against Marine while receiving all other parties for helpful chats.

————

• 
• ———-

A top man with the Foreign Office told the foreign affairs committee in the UK parliament that “with respect to the National Front, we have a policy of not engaging, there is a longstanding policy.” Lost In France – Theresa May’s Damn-Fool Partisan Prejudice!

THAT kind of partisan side-taking is a disgrace.

====

No matter. Mr. Ferrand’s gob keeps flapping.  

“This serious allegation would make you laugh if the corroborating evidence were not so obvious…

Evidence?

Macron’s minion is furious that two state-funded Russian media sites have published reports on the French language sites that featured rumours about Macron’s private life, as well as accusations he was an “agent for American banks”.

But the article then admits the ‘rumours’ were widespread in Paris – should only the in-crowd be allowed to hear them, keeping mere voters in the dark?

Especially when the alleged ‘gay affair’ involves Macron and a media king-pin named Mathieu Gallet, of Radio France?

But Macron denies them. So? Denial never keep the media off any accused rightwinger’s back. 

And the banks?

Well, again we read on and are reminded that Macron is a former investment banker.

It seems Macron’s minion is mainly just p—ed off with media coverage, like the report in Izvestia newspaper that featured quotes from Wikileaks founder Julian Assange saying he had got hold of some “interesting information” about Macron via email correspondence with Hillary Clinton.

All would soon be revealed Assange suggested.

 

 

And is it France being the alleged target that grieves Macron’s team the most, or is it the object of Macron’s adoration, the EUSSR?

“They do not want a strong Europe, they want a weak Europe,” Macron’s spokesman Benjamin Griveaux said …‘This is Putin’s plan to break up the EU’

This is all very flimsy, to say the least. I don’t mean the rumours about Macron’s gay and hearty life-style. 

Who knows?

I mean the brazen bid to transfer the anti-Russian rigmarole from the US context to a French one. Not least because the allegedly numerous cyber-attacks on Macron’s website mostly come not from Russia but from the Ukraine.

The Leftal says that Moscow is getting jittery, it seems.

Aaah, but hark the cry is Verhofstadt….

————

===

…, and sure enough the fanatic Belgian Europhiliac, of whom we have heard – A War-Mongering Guy – Thank God For Brexit!  –   bursts into the article.

NB – no concern on the part of the anonymous Leftal author about BELGIAN interference in French elections!

The shrill sprout is is fine form, gets us rolling in the aisles.

Though we must be a smidgen wistful – would that Guy were correct when he says that –

“This is part of Vladimir Putin’s plan to break up the EU. Will we just stand by and let them undermine our democracies – as they did in the US? ….promoting lies about Emmanuel Macron. Shame on them.” 

EU? Democracies?

A little oxymoronic, is it not, to use those two words in close proximity?

 Liar Juncker And ‘EU Rule Number One’ – Down With Democracy! 

oooooooo

However, the French are not fools

‘France’s centre-right Le Figaro newspaper, which has been backing François Fillon suggested Macron’s complaints against Russia may be just a ploy to portray himself as the victim and to ensure all the focus is on him.

Now enter the Elysee Lame-Duck…

………..

——

…well aware his own socialist party’s candidate is virtually  un-electable. Consumed with fear of a patriot victory, Hollande is making moves to give credence to the conspiracy theory.

…the French government are taking the threat seriously and are due to hold a defence council meeting dedicated to the subject of Russian involvement in the French election.

Thus is fake news elevated by a rabid hypocrite, who was utterly at ease when a foreign government openly declared its intention to interfere in a French election.

As recorded at the top of our page, Hollande made clear…

–

– she is totally free to do that!

 

Trump? Putin? The Villains Are The Democrats!

Vastly incredulous I am, as I read all the sound and fury emanating from the usual suspects, about the hacking and leaking that may or may not have helped Donald Trump win.

Just woke up, here in Jakarta, and, bad for my enjoyment of any brunch I might have contemplated, France24 had a talk-show…

---

…aka a Trump-bashing show, with two guests in the studio, plus various people from outside, one of them being a pinko clown who referred to Russia as a ‘petro-fascist’ state, whatever that means.

The studio guests were a woman named Anne Krantz, an ‘historian…’

• 

• …and -wait for it! –  Specialist in US foreign affairs for Democrats Abroad -France – not sure if France24 bothered to mention that!
• She was perhaps the most ‘moderate,’ but at one point began speculating about how and/or when it might be time to ‘unseat’ the President-Elect!

• My God, he’s not even entered the White House and they’re talking about regime change!

…who runs something called ‘A CAPITAL.’ 

He ended by expressing his anxieties about how the ‘populists’ might win power in France.

Turns out he is a member of the Eiffel Group (for a political union of the Euro) http://www.globalteacherprize.org/academy-member/andre-loesekrug-pietri/

– a supranationalist par excellence,

• Nobody to make the populist case, to express hopes for that patriotic consummation devoutly to be wished for, the victory of Marine Le Pen, leader of the French patriot party, in next year’s elections.

• If there’s cause for concern about Putin, it’s that he served the cause of communism for years.

Conspiracy theory’: Trump dismisses CIA claim of Russian hacking

The one glaringly obvious truth we have to grasp is that the Democrats, the Clinton Democrats, were, and are, the bad people in the story.

Those in the DNC eager to echo the Nazis in their quest to undermine poor old Bernie Sanders…Wikileaks Shows DNC Was Ready To Play the Jew Card on Sanders…deserved to be exposed. 

If the revelations hacked then leaked were not true, that Debbie Wassermann-Schulz would not have been shamed into quitting.

000000000000000

As head of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz violated the neutrality demanded by the DNC Charter, and fostered an environment that functioned as an arm of the Clinton Campaign rather than an impartial entity meant to promote and ensure democracy in the primaries.

Doubling Down on Denial: the Delusions of Debbie Wasserman …

Same with much of the other stuff. The info made public was largely accurate info.

UN committee urges China to end rights abuses in Tibet

UN member states have approved a resolution condemning China’s occupation of Tibet and calling for rights monitors to be allowed into the country.

As my headline suggests, you don’t expect to see something like that emerging from the cess-pool of hypocrisy and double standards known as the United Nations.

And of course, blessed are they who expecteth nothing, for they shall not be disappointed.

Here’s the real headline, before deft doctoring by Yours Truly!

UN committee urges Russia to end rights abuses in Crimea

UN member states have approved a resolution condemning Russia’s occupation of Crimea and calling for rights monitors to be allowed onto the peninsula.

oooooooo.

The UN General Assembly’s human rights committee backed the Ukraine-drafted resolution 73 votes to 23 with 76 abstentions.

Red China, BTW, voted against.

NB. I’m not taking sides on the Ukraine/Russia dispute with this post. That requires a lot of space to consider properly.

I’m just saying.
