If You’re Free To Complain about Fascism, You Don’t Live In A Fascist Country

In other words they are rival gangs.

What you say is happening in America is also happening in the EU and UK.

How long before people wake up and realise this is a planned action to create global socialism.

I don't think the US, EU or UK are fascist. But they are all becoming more authoritarian as time passes at the expense of democracy. Whether the drift is towards Communism or Fascism is neither here nor there because there isn't a lot between them.

Fascism and communism are not two opposites, but two rival gangs fighting over the same territory . . . both are variants of statism, based on the collectivist principle that man is the rightless slave of the state.” - Ayn Rand

The clampdown on Free Speech is one of the well known examples - especially in the UK -
but there are others and IMO the clampdown will continue until more people stand up and
reject it.

Bessent Says Iranian Leaders Wiring Money Out Of Country ‘Like Crazy’

There's a money transfer system between BRICS members which is Russian controlled.

So if true, the Mullahs may be sending funds to other BRICS members (eg Russia).

Well, if it's true, the Iranians likely won't be using SWIFT.

So the US would find it difficult to seize.

Bessent Says Iranian Leaders Wiring Money Out Of Country ‘Like Crazy’
  • "Israel has carried out assassinations of top Iranian nuclear scientists, as well as helped plan the US assassination of IRGC Commander Qassem Soleimani in January 2020. 
  • Over the past two years, it has also assassinated the leadership of anti-Israel groups funded by Iran in the region, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen. 
  • In June, a 12-day war began with Israeli strikes on Iran that killed between 1,060 and 1,190 Iranians. This constant scenario of being under political and military siege pushes Iran into cycles that dig its economic hole deeper."

As always, the main beneficiary of Trump's hard line against Iran is Israel.

To get Iran to agree the nuke/missile demands tabled would be massively easier if Trump
also demanded Israel shed its own nukes and ballistic missiles capable of hitting Iran.
That way neither party could attack the other.
But Trumpy won't do that. He prefers to kick-start another war against Iran for Israel.

Starting wars for Israel IMHO will lose him a lot of popular support. It remains to be
seen if the fall in support will affect Vance/Rubio.

Will he quietly stop bleeting about the people dying in wars? like he does with Ukraine?

Shocking Video: Grenade Tossed Into French Beauty Salon, Injures Six

It's clear that Frenchy President Macroni doesn't give a rat's ass about growing violence
in his country, largely carried out by illegal immigrants.

"This will be the new normal for our children [protection rackets, violence, sex attacks] unless we deport all of the hostile invaders and punish the politicians that opened the floodgates."

I fully support punishment of politicians who have encouraged or allowed this to happen.
Being thrown out of office and barred from any future job in public office isn't enough.

Europe In Decline

"The Dutch Defence Minister noted that “Russia will be able to move large amounts of troops within one year” and that Moscow is already expanding its assets along NATO borders."

This guy spends too much time listerning to his old pal Rutte, now bossman of NATO.

There remains a strong opinion in Western capitals that Putin wants to create USSR 2.0,
yet Putin's conduct since he took office does not support that allegation.

IMHO, the reason Russia has been arming itself in recent times and expanding its frontier
resources is because NATO had plans to invade it and seize control of its land/resources.
The justification for that opinion is to look at what happened in Ukraine before Russia
moved in to sort it out.

Climate Alarmists Are Often Wrong But Never in Doubt

"Maurice Strong ~ The Man Who Invented 'Climate Change'"

"According to such Great Reset luminaries as Bill Gates, """Prince Charles""", Michael Bloomberg, Mark Carney and Klaus Schwab, humanity is expected to solve the dual threat of Covid and global warming in one revolutionary sweeping reform. ~This article was originally published on 28 August 2022."

"We plebeians have been told that all we have to do to restart the economy is rewire everything about our behavior, value, finance, and ethics to decarbonize civilization under a new world regime of central bankers and new green digital currencies as outlined by the Green Horizon Summit held on 9-10 November 2020."

It's taking too long for the world to wake up and realise that
"Anthropogenic Climate Change" is - and always was - a giant scam introduced by
slimeballs with common agendas to control and direct mankind lifestyles.

Six-Month Low In Coffee Futs Signals Potential Relief After Beans On Amazon Surge

I will wait to see when the price of coffee bags comes down in Brazil.
A 250gr bag of Melitta, price rose from R$ 4.00 to R$ 24.00 in 15 months due to alleged poor crops.

      R$ 4.00 = USD $0.75
    R$ 24.00 = USD $4.50

Immigration: Sovereignty vs. Liberty

The concept of nation states - countries - was introduced a long time ago. Before that,
Planet Earth had no frontiers, borders or passports etc and everybody was free to travel
wherever they wanted.

For 1,000 reasons, countries were created and borders established.
That is where we are today.

Whatever benefits personal freedom of travel implies, it cannot be introduced today in one
go - as the globalists want - because during the years of national seperation, lots and lots
of cultures have emerged. Many of them are very different and not mutually compatible.
Today, we see across wealthier Western nations the consequence of travel restrictions
being removed from poorer nations involving people with very different cultures, so their
unskilled and uneducated citizens can travel wherever they want to provide cheap labour

It isn't working.

Security Expert: Illegal Minneapolis Checkpoints Trace Back To Marxist, Anarchist Movements

Thanks for that. Ayn Rand got it 100% correct and explains it perfectly.

Yet we have to ask why it is that since WWII we have been (IMO deliberately)
misguided into accepting that Marxism is Far-Left and Fascism is Far-Right.

Trump Warns Of ‘Bad Things’ If No Iran Deal Reached As Venue Moves To Oman

"Nope, at least half of Iranians in 2026 are anti-Islam"

I don't share that view.

"and 75 to 80% want to prevent there ever being a theocracy again."

That is probably true, but it does not mean they want a re-run of the Shah days because they also found that unacceptable. But I beleve that is what Israel wants.

"The current revolution isn't just anti-clerical(like the French Revolution was), it's also anti-Islam full stop."

Nope. It is anti-Mullah, not anti-Islam IMHO.

Trump Warns Of ‘Bad Things’ If No Iran Deal Reached As Venue Moves To Oman

I know Iran is not Arab, and I didn't say otherwise.

I'm sure there are Iranians who want Islam's role to be reduced for a more secular government, but they would still claim to be Moslems. And as I said earlier, a large majority don't want a reversal to the Shah days, which his son would create.

You only need to see the level of arrests and deaths carried out by the Mullahs' henchmen during the recent protest and previous public demos, to know how big the State apparatus is.
If the US and/or Israel set course for a determined takeover of Iran and a lot of Iranian people supported it, there would be a huge death toll.

And who would gain from all this? Only Israel.

Security Expert: Illegal Minneapolis Checkpoints Trace Back To Marxist, Anarchist Movements

It's been known for a long time that violent activist groups like Antifa are deliberately
wrongly-named, because they indulge in the very conduct they claim to be against (fascism).

They are the fascists - this article describes them as Marxists. OK. These two names are
not Far-Right and Far-Left as we are led to believe by Leftist media and elites. They are
all Far-Left. The big difference between them is that fascists usually wear jack-boots.

The only other country in the M/E that wants war with Iran is Israel.

Killing all the Ayotollahs would not be easy. If it was achieved, Iran would likely fall into nationwide chaos without a government and a lot of residual anger. It's unlikely the Shah's son - the person most likely to be parachuted in by Western powers - would be accepted as the new leader. You then suddenly have a very unstable major country in the M/E like Iraq became, which could easily become a major source of terrorism.

Iran will agree not to have nukes, but not to rid itself of other missiles.
