Defiant Salvini: ‘I Don’t Care’ if EU Rejects Budget
Italy’s powerful deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini said Saturday “I do not care” if the European Commission rejects a budget plan that would worsen Rome’s already mammoth debt burden.
“No one in Brussels can tell me it is not time,” the head of the far-right League party told a meeting in the Italian capital.
“If Brussels says I cannot do it, I do not care, I will do it anyway,” the outspoken leader vowed.

Italy: We’ll Press on if EU Gives Budget Thumbs Down — Salvini
Working for growth says deputy premier
(ANSA) — Milan, September 28 — Interior Minister and Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini said Friday that the government would “press on” if the European Commission gives the thumbs down to its 2019 budget. “We consider ourselves to be working for the country’s growth, to give back faith, hope, energy and work,” Salvini said after the government announced it would let the deficit-to-GDP ratio rise to 2.4% next year. “So I’m happy with what we’ve done over the last four months and what we will do over the next four years”.

The Monetary Fund Runs to the Rescue of Argentina. Signed Agreement for 57 Billions of Dollars
Agreement signed to save Argentina. The Monetary Fund will allocate 57 billions of dollars to the country’s bailout, a larger figure than the originally expected 50 billion dollars. The news was made known by the Minister of the Argentine economy Nicolas Dujovne and by the Director General of the IMF Christine Lagarde who added that “The agreement with Argentina is the largest ever signed by the IMF”.
To counteract and bring to a rapid decline the inflation that is wearing out the bases of Argentine economic prosperity, Buenos Aires will receive by the end of 2019 19 billions of dollars for a total of 57 billion within the 2021…

California Governor Vetoes “Fake News” Bill
California Governor Jerry Brown (shown) has vetoed legislation that would have created a state advisory group to study the dissemination of “fake news” on the Internet, deeming such a group “not necessary.”
On September 20, Brown, a Democrat, vetoed the bill, which was authored by state Senator Richard Pan, also a Democrat, and passed the California Assembly and Senate in late August. “This bill directs the Attorney General to establish an advisory group to study the problem of the spread of false information through Internet-based social media platforms,” Brown wrote to the Senate. “As evidenced by the numerous studies by academic and policy groups on the spread of false information, the creation of a statutory advisory group to examine this issue is not necessary.”
The bill’s demands went well beyond mere studies of “fake news,” reported Sacramento’s KOVR.

Defense of Sovereignty Must be Our National Goal
At the U.N. this week, President Donald Trump mounted one of the most coherent and timely defenses of U.S. sovereignty ever given. Trump’s previous inspiring and unexpected remarks about sovereignty were made in the Rose Garden, when he announced we were withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord. He was thus withdrawing from the globalist premise inherent in that accord. In June 2017, he said, “As president, I have one obligation, and that obligation is to the American people. The Paris Accord would undermine our economy, hamstring our workers, weaken our sovereignty, impose unacceptable legal risks, and put us at a permanent disadvantage to the other countries of the world.” How refreshing.
By inserting concerns about U.S. sovereignty, President Trump implied American exceptionalism, emphasized by Ronald Reagan in his famous election eve 1980 speech, where he quoted from John Winthrop’s reference to creating a “city on a hill” that would be a beacon of Godly living for the entire world. However, Trump has chosen to emphasize the term “sovereignty” because of its implications not mainly for culture or the providential founding of America by God, but for the institutional-constitutional-legal framework of our country.

How the Animated Series G.I. Joe Predicted Today’s Illuminati Agenda
G.I. Joe is an iconic cartoon TV show that marked an entire generation of young boys during the 80s. Most fans still recall the main characters and the epic gun fights. But what about the storyline? A look at the TV series in today’s context is quite a strange experience: Many of Cobra’s “far-out” plots are actually happening today. Could G.I. Joe be a case of predictive programming? We will look at some G.I. Joe episodes describing the replacement of the US dollar and the usage of mind control on celebrities and civilians and see how they relate in today’s context.
As a guy who grew up in the 80s, I can personally attest that G.I. Joe was definitely on the menu in my after-school TV cartoon line-up. If you’re a younger reader, let me tell you this (at the risk of sounding like a grumpy uncle): G.I. Joe wasn’t your wimpy Dora the Explorer cartoon. It was a half-hour full of bad-ass characters face-kicking and laser-gun-shooting their way to victory. And that’s pretty much what I remembered of this TV show — laser-gun shootouts — until recently.
A reader of this site recommended I view a particular episode of the series called Money to Burn, which depicts in great detail a vital part of today’s NWO agenda (discussed later). I was in shock. So I watched other episodes in the series and this is what I saw: psychological warfare, tapping into occult forces to obtain political power, military research funded by huge corporations and mind control used on civilians and celebrities. The series pretty much summed up the entire contents of the Vigilant Citizen website. Most of the shady things are accomplished by Cobra Commander, the “bad-guy” of the show, who is a ruthless terrorist aiming for world domination. The Joes always managed to stop Cobra, however, dismantling his evil schemes in an orgy of laser-gun fire and spectacular explosions.
Watching the shows today, however, was very unsettling: Because of open-access information laws and the Internet, it is slowly coming to light that today’s shadow governments are actually carrying out most of Cobra’s plans … in real life. News about these plans come on a daily basis in mainstream news. Did G.I. Joe contain “predictive programming”, a technique based on planting ideas and concepts in the brains of viewers in order to make them seem normal and easily accepted when they actually happen?

Joe diGenova: Kavanaugh Inquisition is Our Future With Democrats in Power
Former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova framed Thursday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearings with Christine Blasey Ford and Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh as glimpses of America’s future with Democrat congressional majorities. He offered his remarks in a Friday interview with Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily.
DiGenova said, “What you saw on display by the Democrats on that committee was the raw political power that they will wield against people of goodwill, and all you have to do to know that is what’s going to happen is look at what the IRS did to conservative groups under Lois Lerner and John Koskinen.”
DiGenova continued, “This is the future of our country if the Democrats get control of the House and Senate. They are vile people. There is nothing good anymore to be said about the Democratic Party. They have eschewed all integrity [and] honesty in pursuit of power. They are an ugly people, and they need to be beaten down politically and defeated.”

Kavanaugh and the Depth of Democratic Evil
Decent people saw and felt the pain and suffering cruelly inflicted upon Judge Kavanaugh and his wife and children by the Democrats’ outrageous lies to block his confirmation. And yet, after the hearing, the grotesque American left relentlessly tripled down on its demonic mission to destroy Kavanaugh and his family. Democratic talking heads continue to sell their absurd lie that Kavanaugh is a gang rapist, ignoring the facts he gave proving his innocence. Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein and her minions have no shame, no regrets, no morality, and no decency — laser-focused on blocking Kavanaugh and Trump at any and all cost, throwing the truth under the bus.
For years, I have tried to sound the alarm to my family that, as a black conservative political activist, I am engaged in a battle of good versus evil rather than differing well meaning political views. The American left is evil: anti-Christian, anti-American, and anti-freedom. Nothing proves my point more clearly than the Democrats’ deviant attempt to keep Kavanaugh, a Christian constitutional conservative, off our nation’s highest court.
Democrats fear that Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court will throw a wrench into their ability to kill babies as late as the date of birth. The abortionist delivers the entire body except for the baby’s head. He then shoves scissors into the brain from behind to kill the child. Abortion mill staffers say that upon hearing the screams of partially birthed babies, they have soured on the horrific procedure. Democrats celebrate every abortion because of their perverted belief that killing babies “saves the planet.”

What the Democrats really didn’t count on, was the backlash they would get from members of their own Party who watched Judge Kavanaugh’s testimony and were deeply touched by his fight to defend his spotless reputation. What Democrat Senators didn’t count on, was the disgust members of their own Party would feel towards them, as they watched their obvious attempt to destroy a truly good man and his reputation for the sake of grabbing back the power they lost when Donald Trump shocked the Democrats and won the 2016 presidential election.
Are the Democrats about to see a massive red tsunami in the 2018 election, after Republican, Democrat, Libertarian and Independent voters watched them make a public mockery of our American justice system, while they exposed their evil objectives om their attempts to destroy the reputation of Judge Kavanaugh and his innocent family?
One tweet from a Twitter user who goes by the name of “EDM”, seems to hint that Democrats may be in very big trouble in the upcoming elections. His tweet is a very bad sign for the Democrat Party and for the 2018 mid-term elections, as almost every comment under EDM’s tweet is from a Democrat who claims, that after watching the Kavanaugh circus, they are planning to only vote for Republicans in the upcoming election and beyond…

Leftist Editor Asks About Confronting Republicans “Where They Sleep”
The justice editor of a liberal website named Think Progress, founded by Judd Legum, may have barked up the wrong tree when he posted a message that sounded like he supports people confronting Republicans “where they sleep.”
His name is Ian Millhiser and he’s facing a vicious backlash in regard to the comment he posted on Twitter. Perhaps Judd Legum’s puppet should watch what he says, because he’s getting wrecked in his own comments, and it came with several warnings.
This backlash is likely triggered by the numerous physical attacks that have occurred in which Republicans have been shot (Steve Scalise), attempted stabbing by switchblade (Rudy Peters), attacked by a neighbor (Rand Paul), or even ran out of a restaurant with verbal attacks (Sarah Sanders, Ted Cruz).

Liberal Brain Trust: How Dare Brett Kavanaugh Get So Angry About These Baseless Rape Accusations!
I would imagine that, if you’re an innocent man accused of running a gang-rape ring, you’d be a little peeved. If the people accusing you dragged you onto national television and demanded that you beg to be the subject of an FBI investigation, you’d more than likely get angry. If those same people ignored the fact that there’s not a shred of evidence that you’d ever done anything wrong and proceeded to destroy your name, your family, and your career in the most egregious act of character assassination the country has ever seen …well, you’d be goddamn furious.
I’ll be completely honest. I was furious watching the hearings yesterday. I have no idea how Brett Kavanaugh was able to keep his cool as well as he did. It’s something I doubt I would have been able to do. More than likely, I would have hit the trash that is Dianne Feinstein and Dick Durbin with some obscene hand gestures and choice expletives.
Yes, I know. That’s exactly what they want, and I’d be playing right into their hands. Still, I doubt I would have gotten through that hearing with even a tenth of the composure that the nominee displayed.
Kavanaugh’s rage is 100% justified. The Democrats on the Judiciary Committee and his accusers know full well they have nothing — nothing at all — of substance him. They don’t care. They are completely and totally willing to decimate an innocent man if it means furthering their agenda.

In his latest interview with Radio Sputnik International, Srdja Trifkovic discusses President Donald Trump’s speech to the UN General Assembly and contrasts his defense of national sovereignty with French President Emanuel Macron’s advocacy of multilateralism before the same forum. The first question concerned Trump’s suggestion that his Administration has already accomplished more than almost any other in U.S. history. [Audio]
ST: First of all, as far as social cohesion goes, America is a more fractured, more divided society now than ever in its history. We can see that the liberal left has absolutely no standards when it comes to destroying their opponents, the example of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to wit. On the other hand, its current economic success story is undoubtedly impressive. It is open to debate to what extent this is the result of policies set in motion by the previous administration, or by global and domestic trends which were not particularly influenced by Trump’s decisions; or whether his decisive stand on tax reduction programs and increasing tariffs against foreign imports has resulted in a new wave of confidence in the domestic market. In terms of an objective assessment, it’s far too early to tell. I don’t think that the parallel with the greatest achievements in the U.S. history stands when it comes to the rates of growth: America under Eisenhower in the 1950’s did very well, even better than today. As far as America’s global standing is concerned, let’s not forget that its share of the global economy in 1960 was around 40 percent; today it is only about one half of that.
Sputnik: Trump’s speech was followed by that of French President Emmanuel Macron. Many would say that was an absolute opposite. Macron condemned nationalism, pledged to promote multilateralism and supported globalism; what are your thoughts on how pertinent his speech was in the format of the UNGA?
ST: Emmanuel Macron’s speech was a blast of stale air, not fresh air…

Woman Who Confronted Jeff Flake in Elevator Runs Soros-Backed Organization
Senator Jeff Flake was trapped in an elevator today when he was confronted by protesters. Some of the protesters held the door and wouldn’t allow it to close so Flake could proceed to his intended location, which was to be part of the vote for Judge Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s Supreme Court nominee who faces sexual assault accusations from Christine Blasey Ford.
After some deeper investigation into the people who confronted Flake at the elevator, it was revealed that one of them works for an organization who takes money from George Soros. More on that in a moment.
Let’s paint the picture of what happened earlier so you have a deeper understanding of the scenario…
Popular Democracy is funded by George Soros.

You Gave Facebook Your Number for Security. They Used it for Ads
Add “a phone number I never gave Facebook for targeted advertising” to the list of deceptive and invasive ways Facebook makes money off your personal information. Contrary to user expectations and Facebook representatives’ own previous statements, the company has been using contact information that users explicitly provided for security purposes—or that users never provided at all—for targeted advertising.
A group of academic researchers from Northeastern University and Princeton University, along with Gizmodo reporters, have used real-world tests to demonstrate how Facebook’s latest deceptive practice works. They found that Facebook harvests user phone numbers for targeted advertising in two disturbing ways: two-factor authentication (2FA) phone numbers, and “shadow” contact information.

After the library caved to the bullies, Hansen made a documentary about the assassination of his film entitled, “O Canada.”
It’s required viewing for anyone concerned about the erosion of free speech in Canada.

Next year’s European Parliamentary elections should bring about a change in the community’s policy, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in a radio interview on Friday, and warned that “the battle between pro-migration and anti-migration MEPs has not yet been decided”.

There are many reasons that citizens vote for a candidate. Blue-collar families often vote for the one who will bring back manufacturing jobs. Military families often vote for the one who will leave no man behind. For me, public safety is a primary consideration. People have a finite amount of sympathy. I’m sure Mother Teresa had more than I do, but even hers was not unlimited. Wisely, she spent hers for the poor. But many people are not wise. They spend their sympathy on illegal immigrants and criminals, leaving none for law-abiding citizens. Take, for instance, the cases of Sarah McKinley and Kathryn Steinle.

Feras, an illegal alien to begin with, and a convicted felon, was allowed to stay in Sweden for the sole reason that he committed a violent hate crime against Swedish Jews. This despite the fact that Sweden had rejected his asylum request, and he therefore lacked any legal right to stay in the country.
The precedent that this case establishes is highly disturbing: If you commit crimes against Jews that can “be perceived as a serious political crime directed against other Jews,” then you might be eligible for asylum in Sweden. The rights of Sweden’s vulnerable Jews have apparently ceased to matter.
In Sweden, and perhaps other places as well, it appears that that the “human rights” of foreign aspiring murderers are more important than the human rights of law-abiding citizens.
Are you in a European country illegally, flouting your deportation order and committing arson? No problem. If the country to which you are to be returned might conceivably harm you, instead you are welcome to stay in Sweden, commit more crimes and harm Swedes.
A Swedish Court of Appeal recently overturned the deportation ruling against one of three convicted perpetrators of an arson attack against the synagogue of Gothenburg in December 2017, on the grounds that it would be in contravention of his “fundamental human rights”.

What is Happening at a Major Migrant Hotspot? We Interview the Mayor of the Greek Island of Lesbos
Shortly after becoming mayor of the touristic island of Lesbos in 2014, Spyros Galinos faced an international crisis when Lesbos was overrun by Syrian refugees. Mr. Galinos had to handle the migrant crisis mostly by himself, as the international community and Greece’s government weren’t very responsive.

Ten Modern Methods of Mind Control
The more one researches mind control, the more one will come to the conclusion that there is a coordinated script that has been in place for a very long time with the goal to turn the human race into non-thinking automatons. For as long as man has pursued power over the masses, mind control has been orchestrated by those who study human behavior in order to bend large populations to the will of a small “elite” group.
Today, we have entered a perilous phase where mind control has taken on a physical, scientific dimension that threatens to become a permanent state if we do not become aware of the tools at the disposal of the technocratic dictatorship unfolding on a worldwide scale.
Modern mind control is both technological and psychological. Tests show that simply by exposing the methods of mind control, the effects can be reduced or eliminated, at least for mind control advertising and propaganda. More difficult to counter are the physical intrusions, which the military-industrial complex continues to develop and improve upon.
1. Education — This is the most obvious, yet still remains the most insidious. It has always been a would-be dictator’s ultimate fantasy to “educate” naturally impressionable children. No one has been more instrumental in exposing the agenda of modern education than Charlotte Iserbyt — one can begin research into this area by downloading a free PDF of her book, The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America, which lays bare the role of Globalist foundations in shaping a future intended to produce servile drones lorded over by a fully educated, aware elite class.
2. Advertising and Propaganda — Edward Bernays has been cited as the inventor of the consumerist culture that was designed primarily to target people’s self-image (or lack thereof) in order to turn a want into a need. This was initially envisioned for products such as cigarettes, for example. However, Bernays also noted in his 1928 book, Propaganda, that “propaganda is the executive arm of the invisible government.” This can be seen most clearly in the modern police state and the growing citizen snitch culture, wrapped up in the pseudo-patriotic War on Terror. The increasing consolidation of media has enabled the entire corporate structure to merge with government, which now utilizes the concept of propaganda placement. Media; print, movies, television, and cable news can now work seamlessly to integrate an overall message which seems to have the ring of truth because it comes from so many sources, simultaneously. When one becomes attuned to identifying the main “message,” one will see this imprinting everywhere. And this is not even to mention subliminal messaging.

1,001 Ways to Lose a Nobel Prize
It’s easier to lose a Nobel Prize than to win one.
Smuggled out to impress girls in a bar, or dissolved to prevent the Nazis from getting their hands on one, the precious gold medals have gone missing in crazy, tragic or spectacular ways over the more than hundred-year history of the Nobel Prize.

Kenneth Richard and Pierre Gosselin have been compiling lists which question climate hysteria.
In just the first 6 months of 2018, 254 scientific papers were published that cast doubt on the position that anthropogenic CO2 emissions function as the climate’s fundamental control knob, or that otherwise serve to question the efficacy of climate models or the related ‘consensus’ position commonly endorsed by policymakers and mainstream media sources.
These 254 new papers affirm the position that there are significant limitations and uncertainties inherent in our understanding of climate change, emphasizing that climate science is not settled.
During 2017 there were 150 graphs from 122 scientific papers published in peer-reviewed journals indicating modern temperatures are not unprecedented, unusual, or hockey-stick-shaped, nor do they fall outside the range of natural variability.
In July 2016 Kenneth Richard had compiled a list of 770 papers published since January 1, 2014 that contradict the IPCC consensus statement. This includes 240 papers published during the first half of 2016.
More recently, ten new reconstructions show today’s temperatures are still among the coldest of the last 10,000 years.
Even though CO2 concentrations hovered well below 300 ppm throughout most of the Holocene, newly published paleoclimate reconstructions affirm that today’s surface temperatures are only slightly warmer (if at all) than the coldest periods of the last 10,000 years. This contradicts the perspective that temperatures rise in concert with CO2 concentrations.
Succinctly, then, scientists publishing in peer-reviewed journals have increasingly affirmed that there is nothing historically unprecedented or remarkable about today’s climate when viewed in the context of long-term natural variability.

I wonder if there is finally a chance to cast a spotlight on who was/is really doing the enslaving at its source — Muslims mainly. A fact the world still doesn’t want to wake up to.

MSF Italy head Claudia Lodesani slammed the populist pair, saying: “Migrants are used as a hostage for political issues and the responsibility lies with all European governments, both Salvini, Macron and Orban,” Il Giornale reports.
Ah, no. The responsibility of this mess is clearly in Mrs Merkels lap, followed by people smugglers, criminal gangs and those silly NGO groups sending ships to ferry them to Europe. None if this would have happened if European politicians of the time had had the backbone and common sense of Salvini & Orban and simply said “No!”

It is hard to believe that politicians are willing to abandon all borders.
Sarc on: what will the leftie crybabies say to jewish settlements on the West Banks when everybody will be allowed to settle everywhere? And what will they say when their favorite watering holes will be invaded by african cultural enrichers in search of some entertainement?
This is one of the most disgusting stories I’ve read about in recent days. It seems like there is no length that certain Government officials won’t go to appease the Muslim barbarian savages. Take a look at what they did to this genuine work of art in the Maldives.
Who would ever have imagined that things could get this bad? If anyone reading this blog has ever doubted for one minute just how relentless these Jihadis are, take a look at this.

That really is a shame. I saw a documentary on the underwater garden and it just looked fantastic! I even looked into going there but when I saw that the resort made a point that they had armed security… Gave it a pass.
