Italy: Clash With EU May Lead to Financial Crisis — Savona
Buy in no one’s interest, think we’ll find meeting point
(ANSA) — Rome, October 8 — European Affairs Minister Paolo Savona told the foreign press Monday that “the hope is that there is not a clash in Europe that translates into a financial crisis that is in no one’s interest”.
He warned that “with the political instability in Italy something really serious would happen in Europe and the rest of the world”. But he stressed: I think that in the end we will find a meeting point”.

Americans Are More Radicalized Than Ever as the Country Literally Spirals Toward Civil War
Where we are at is a nation that is rapidly moving toward a state of civil war.
Now that Brett Kavanaugh has officially been confirmed, it is a good time to reflect upon where we are at as a nation.
And where we are at is a nation that is rapidly moving toward a state of civil war. At one time we were a nation that was united by shared values, a shared purpose and a shared destiny, but now all of that has been replaced by anger, frustration, bitterness, strife and discord. The left hates the right and vice versa, and both sides are becoming increasingly radicalized. And without a doubt we are in a life or death battle for the future of America. Eventually one side or the other will emerge victorious, and their ideology will become dominant in this country.
Up to this point, there has been a lot of screaming, yelling and protesting, but it isn’t going to take very much to push the nation over the edge into violence.
On a daily basis the pot is being stirred by our leading politicians and the mainstream media, and it is very difficult to see any way that this story is going to end well.

Civil War Two Looms as Deep State Circles the Wagons
I believe that the Christine Blasey Ford gambit was an extension of the sinister activities underway since early 2016 in the Department of Justice and the FBI to un-do the last presidential election, and that the real and truthful story about these seditious monkeyshines is going to blow wide open.
It turns out that the Deep State is a small world.
Did you know that the lawyer sitting next to Dr. Ford in the Senate hearings, one Michael Bromwich, is also an attorney for Andrew McCabe, the former FBI Deputy Director fired for lying to investigators from his own agency and currently singing to a grand jury?
What a coincidence. Out of all the lawyers in the most lawyer-infested corner of the USA, she just happened to hook up with him.
It’s a matter of record that Dr. Ford traveled to Rehobeth Beach Delaware on July 26, where her Best Friend Forever and former room-mate, Monica McLean, lives, and that she spent the next four days there before sending a letter July 30 to Senator Diane Feinstein that kicked off the “sexual assault” circus. Did you know that Monica McClean was a retired FBI special agent, and that she worked in the US Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York under Preet Bharara, who had earlier worked for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer?

Corruption of Our Leaders— Can We Solve What’s Happening to America?
As you look across the American landscape, you see an array of zany people screaming in the streets about things they don’t like. When President Trump took office, Madonna threatened to blow up the White House. Actress Ashley Judd warned that more “nasty women” would disrupt the halls of Congress. Women openly wept and screamed at the top of their lungs, “He’s not my president!”
Actors Robert De Niro and Rosie O’Donnell openly called for impeachment of the president before he spent a day in the White House. Women marched by the hundreds of thousands against a legally elected president of the United States.
In fact, Dr. Christine Ford, who accused Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of rape just days before his confirmation, walked down the streets of Washington DC with a sign that read, “Not my president!”
Within the past two weeks, she accused Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of attempted rape 36 years ago. No proof, no collaboration, but she galvanized America into loss of “due process of law” that a person must be “guilty by accusation” rather than innocent until proven guilty.

‘Creepy Line’ Film Exposing Google, Facebook Now Streaming
‘Tremendous power in the hands of two companies’
A new film “The Creepy Line,” which contends Google and Facebook pose a threat not only to privacy but to the economy and elections, is now available for purchase on Amazon.com and streaming on Amazon Prime.
Along with showing how the big tech companies “know more about you than your closest relative or friend,” the documentary from Wandering Foot Productions features peer-reviewed research showing how the data can be used to manipulate opinions about products, services and politicians.
“We may have signed-up for these services, but I doubt anyone expected their data and search habits could or would be used to manipulate them,” said producer M.A. Taylor.
Debuting as President Trump raises the profile of the issue, the film contends Google has crossed its executive chairman’s self-described “creepy line,” not only invading the privacy of millions of users but using its monopolistic stature to suppress conservative views and influence elections.

As we watch our society devolve into anarchy one almost has to step back and wonder what happened. What happened is liberalism. Liberalism has never produced anything but chaos and confusion. It has never lifted anyone out of the mire of life. It has always kept the majority of the people in abject poverty and at some point there is not enough money to even keep the masses halfway satisfied.
Why is liberalism put on a pedestal? It has always been a complete failure wherever it has been initiated. Always! American’s have fallen asleep and allowed our colleges and universities to be infiltrated by liberal thinking professors that no longer teach students how to think. They teach them what to think. You combine that with the churches failure to raise up people to run for office and the end result is our country, once the greatest nation the world had ever seen, is on the verge of going the way of a banana republic. Don’t get me wrong, we are still the greatest nation in the world today, but we used to be greater, much greater. There is still no other nation like America where people risk their lives to come to, but we are a shadow of what we once were.
Our political environment has become so polluted that most of who we put into office are a disgrace. Senator Sparticus Booker brags about grouping a drunk 15-year-old girl when he was in high school and thinks he has the credentials to question the integrity of Brett Kavanaugh. Senator Kamala Harris slept with the former mayor of San Francisco to jump start her political carrier and thinks she has the credentials to question the integrity of Brett Kavanaugh. Senator Blumenthal claimed that he was a Viet Nam vet when he never went to Viet Nam. He claims he ‘misspoke’. That’s liberal speak for ‘he lied’ and he too thinks he has the right to question Brett Kavanaugh’s integrity. Then we have the biggest joke of all and that’s Senator Diane Feinstein. She employed a Chinese spy as a driver for over 20 years and she thinks she has the right to question Brett Kavanaugh’s integrity. If you remember, none of these people demanded an FBI investigation in the Oval Office antics of Bill Clinton. He even paid out $850,000 to Paula Jones for his sexual assault on her plus he lied to the grand jury, which is a felony, and they still were as quite as church mice.
That is what the new Democrat Party has become. Anything goes as long as it is a Democrat that is doing it. If a conservative does the exact same thing he/she must be destroyed.

Google Reportedly Hid Data Exposure of 500k Users From Public
Tech giant announces end of Google+ after nearly 500k users affected by bug
Google exposed the private data of hundreds of thousands of people and declined to inform the public, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
Between 2015 and March of this year, a bug affecting the company’s Google+ social media service gave external developers access to information such as “full names, email addresses, birth dates, gender, profile photos, places lived, occupation and relationship status.”
An internal memo concerning the issue, the Journal states, argued that disclosing the glitch would likely result in “immediate regulatory interest” and damage the company’s image.
The decision not to reveal the vulnerability was also reportedly shared with Google CEO Sundar Pichai.

Jesuit Priest: Pope’s Silence Suggests ‘Something Was Covered Up’

“The crisis at this stage, whether we like it or not, is precisely about the present pope, what he believes and what decisions he made,” writes Father Schall, a prominent author who taught political science at Georgetown University for many years.

Madison City Council Overturns Confederate Monument Decision, Supports Removal
The Madison City Council backed the removal of a Confederate monument in Forest Hill Cemetery Tuesday after it overrode a commission decision that called for the monument to remain.
Council members voted 16-2 to overturn the Landmarks Commission’s ruling that barred the removal of a large, stone monument that lists the names of about 140 prisoners-of-war buried in a section of the cemetery known as Confederate Rest.
“You don’t have discussion in a cemetery. You have reflection, and you have memories, and this (monument) brings up memories that are not so pleasant in our history,” said Council Vice President Sheri Carter.
Alds. Paul Skidmore and Mike Verveer voted against overturning the decision. Alds. Rebecca Kemble and Steve King were absent…

Unreported Google Data Exposure Affects Hundreds of Thousands: Report
A vulnerability in the Google+ social network exposed the personal data of “hundreds of thousands” of people using the site between 2015 and March 2018, according to a report Monday by the Wall Street Journal.
Google said it found no evidence of data misuse. Still, as part of the response to the incident, Google plans to shut down the social network permanently.
The company didn’t disclose the vulnerability when it fixed it in March because the company didn’t want to invite regulatory scrutiny from lawmakers, according to a report Monday by The Wall Street Journal.

What Democrats Are Willing to Do (And Not Willing to Do)
Democrats are well aware that if just 30% of Blacks vote Republican, they will never win another national election.
It now has become clear even to the most stubborn skeptic that Democrats will do anything to win, gain power and stay there. They are united in their mission like never before. If there are any moderate Democrats or classic liberals remaining besides Alan Dershowitz, they are silent.
George Washington warned the nation that political parties will produce leaders that will have more loyalty to party than to country. It certainly is true today. The loyalty to the Democrat Party is absolute. Even Bernie Sanders, an Independent and Socialist, saw fit to run for the presidency as a Democrat.
Incredibly, grass roots Democrats and their leaders are willing to suspend the presumption of innocence, the most basic legal covenant between government and the people. They encourage violence, getting in your face, harassing you in public places, doning masks and destroying personal and public property. The Left has eliminated all sense of fair play. They show no hesitation in destroying any person, their family and reputation. Democrats use the courts to get what they want when they can’t win the vote. They destroy monuments that reveal their past, risk financial collapse to demonstrate big government is essential, and risk war with Russia to prove Trump is colluding. Democrats are willing to throw open our borders to cultivate more Democrats, now that much of Middle America has departed from their ranks.
Democrats are well aware that if just 30% of Blacks vote Republican, they will never win another national election. That is why they viciously attack any minority, especially a Black, when they meet with a Republican

Wisconsin Student Outraged Because Terrorism Course Discusses Jihad
How divorced from reality are our nation’s college and university campuses today? This divorced from reality: a terrorism class at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has become the focus of controversy for daring to discuss Islamic jihad in connection with terrorism. The connection between Islamic jihad and terrorism is as obvious as the fact that water is wet, but not on campus today.
“Lectures slated for October,” the College Fix reported Wednesday, “include topics such as ‘Islam and the West,’ ‘The origins of Jihad,’ ‘Al Qaida,’ ‘9/11,’ ‘The Islamic State’ and ‘Jihad in Africa,’ according to a syllabus screenshot.”
That all seems fairly straightforward — but only in the real world, not at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State do exist, 9/11 did happen, and there is jihad activity against the West and in Africa. However, Muslim student Ali Khan “took to social media to express outrage over the content of ‘Political Science 347: Terrorism’ and the way the professor approached the subject.”

You Don’t Hand Power to an Angry Left-Wing Mob
America hangs in the balance, it is ours to save or lose
You don’t hand matches to an arsonist, and you don’t hand power to an angry left-wing mob. —President Donald J. Trump
We as conservatives believe in our God-given rights, and that puts an automatic emergency brake on our behavior. We may dislike people ideologically, but the fact that God gave you and I rights prevents us from attacking them or anything like that. The radical left has no emergency brake. They are takers. They need to take your money, your kid’s education, your health care…and to do that they need state power. And when they lose state power, and they lose the courts, and they lose the presidency, and they lose governorships…then there is nowhere else to go, there is no emergency brake. —Dan Bogino “Fox and Friends” 10/7/18, 26:00 mark
Dan Bogino is quite right. The far left, the radicals, seldom believe in God, so there is no ultimate accountability, nothing to tell them that they’ve crossed the line and gone too far. There is no “too far” for them. Are such people the sort you want to hand over the reins of power to? Please God let it not be so.
I live in Florida and received my mail-in ballot for November’s election recently. It served to remind me that November 6 will be here quickly, and how crucially important it is — definitely the most important mid-term election in my lifetime, and quite possibly in the history of our country.

(ANSA) — ROME, 8 OCT — A bucket of cold water over German growth and its European partners: German industrial production in August dropped unexpectedly for the third month in a row, down 0.3% against up 0.3% expected by economists. Fall was driven by the threat of trade protectionism, and the most negative items are investments in capital goods and the construction sector. The Bundesbank has however recently expressed optimism on growth, and in August industrial orders stopped declining.

Ignored History: Columbus Sought to End Islamic Tyranny
When President Benjamin Harrison issued his “Proclamation 335 — 400th Anniversary of the Discovery of America by Columbus,” on July 21, 1892, he emphasized how the great discoverer pioneered “progress and enlightenment,” reflected four centuries later in America’s system of universal education:
Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration.
President Harrison also highlighted the patriotic motivations for the holiday, and the shared “devout faith” — Christianity — of Columbus and the American people, so abundantly blessed by “Divine Providence”:
Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship. In the churches and in the other places of assembly of the people let there be expressions of gratitude to Divine Providence for the devout faith of the discoverer and for the divine care and guidance which has directed our history and so abundantly blessed our people.
As we celebrate Columbus Day — for those of us still inoculated enough against cultural relativist depravity to do so — it is also worth recapturing concretely the specific late 15th century religious motivations for Columbus’ voyage. Simply put, Columbus sought “eastern (even far eastern) alliances” to end a millennium of Islam’s jihad-imposed tyranny against Christendom. Louis Bertrand’s scholarly 1934 tome, The History of Spain, elegantly — and unapologetically — characterized the now well-nigh forgotten, or ignored, historical context.

Italy: Newspapers Trying to Bring Govt Down — Di Maio

Juncker, Moscovici Are Enemies of Europe Say Salvini, Le Pen

(ANSA) — Rome, October 8 — Italian Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, the leader of the Euroskeptic League party, said on Monday he shared the same idea of Europe as the leader of France’s rightist nationalist Rassemblement National, lawmaker Marine Le Pen.
“We share the same idea of Europe, of agriculture, of work, of the fight against immigration”, Salvini said during a congress of labor union UGL on ‘Economic growth and social perspectives in a Europe of Nations’ attended by the French politician.
“We are against the enemies of Europe, who are (Jean-Claude) Juncker and (Pierre) Moscovici, closed in the bunker of Brussels”, added Salvini of the European Commission president and the European economic affairs commissioner, who have both urged the Italian government to abide by the EU’s budget rules and avoid deviating from the goals agreed with Brussels.
Le Pen for her part told the congress that the “EU has trampled on the values of solidarity: we are now at an historic moment”.
“In May we will succeed in reaching a Union that kicks off with new values against globalization”, she said of European elections scheduled at the end of May next year.
Salvini said he shared “values, principles, coherence, pride” with Le Pen. “At the end of May, we well have a revolution of common sense”.

Facebook Censors Ads for New Gosnell Movie About Abortionist Convicted for Murder
‘Facebook is essentially silencing these children and women whom Gosnell murdered,’ says producer
The “Gosnell” film producers hit another obstacle this week when the social media giant Facebook refused to run their ads.
“Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer” will be in theaters beginning Oct. 12. Under-reported from the start, the film follows the true story of Kermit Gosnell, a Philadelphia abortionist who murdered newborn babies and committed numerous other crimes inside his “house of horrors” abortion facility. It stars Dean Cain (“Lois & Clark”) and is directed by Nick Searcy (“The Shape of Water,” “Justified”).
Producers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney have faced roadblocks from the start of their project, and the advertising problems are just another obstacle that they believe is trying to stop them from exposing the horrific truth about the abortion industry.

Men Without Chests Threaten Our Culture and Civilization
“We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.” — C. S. Lewis
The Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis was first copyrighted in 1944, which makes this short booklet all the more astonishing. The insight Lewis had in those years of the pervasive philosophy that was intermingling within the educational systems is just as relevant for today, and now it is right in our faces. We can see vividly the corruption of morals and basic decency that is leading us more and more toward a Godless society. C.S. Lewis looked logically at what happens when faith and tradition are removed from a society. And we just watched what Lewis was describing in Judge Kavanaugh’s hearings, including the protests by Soros paid anarchists.
“Men Without Chests” is the curious title of the first chapter of C.S. Lewis’ Abolition of Man. Lewis explains that the “The Chest” is one of the “indispensable liaison officers between cerebral man and visceral man. It may even be said that it is by this middle element that man is man: for by his intellect he is mere spirit and by his appetite mere animal.” Without “Chests” we are unable to have confidence that we can grasp objective reality and objective truth.
The result of such chest-less education, as Lewis warns, is a dystopian and totalitarian future.
As our society disintegrates into what C.S. Lewis described in his short booklet, we are seeing more and more men without chests. Those men are allowing the destruction of our society by anarchists who literally hate America and her culture and want it destroyed.

Pro-Choice Man, Who Allegedly Kicked Pro-Life Woman, Is in More Trouble Than We Thought
Jordan Hunt, the 26-year-old man accused of kicking a pro-life woman on Sunday, has been arrested. Toronto police announced Saturday that not only was he charged in that case, but he was also accused in a separate incident.
Hunt approached people protesting abortions, and began scribbling on their signs and clothing, police says. One of the protesters confronted him, and he allegedly kicked her in the shoulder, police said. In this account, it knocked the phone from her hand. He allegedly then ripped off a ribbon from her, and ran away.

“Hitler’s Nephew Hates Trump and Would Vote for Merkel” I don’t see the point of such news. Anyone a bit interested in WWII will know Hitler was a very good uncle and generally a nice and beloved person of his closest family. He provided lots of financial aid to his sister, who was left alone with children, for example. Of course this doesn’t fit the “brutal dictator monster” picture of him, so people don’t like to talk about it. But most importantly the opinion of a relative has no weight at all. It might be very different from Hitler or it might be the same, one side can make the claim that “Trump is worse than Hitler if Hitler’s nephew doesn’t like it” and the other can claim that “just shows you Merkel is just like Hitler”, but one way or the other the opinion of that nephew is irrelevant…
“Modern Day Czech Knights Train for Battle of the Nations” interesting, I had no idea this existed (but it is true many people here do re-enacment, medieval, prehistoric, world wars, or others).
Good point, AK 47,
Isn’t there a portion of” Jeckyl and Hyde” in each of us?
Would being a good husband and friend keep us from ferocious actions on a dangerous ennemy?
Indeed I believe there is. As they say, “the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.” Keeping Hitler as an example (even though his aim might’ve been inhuman from the get-go), the life of Germans and Austrians improved significantly under his rule. It wasn’t until WWII broke out that it became really ugly. Or Ceaucescu in Romania, the people loved him, Czechs somewhat admire him because he was the only one that refused to join the Warsaw Pact invasion in 1968, yet he eventually drove the country’s economy into absolute ruin in the last decade of his rule and the people rightfully shot him during the revolution (their economy still hasn’t completely recovered from that and the old city is lost for good). On the other hand we have many historical accounts on absolutistic rulers that did good for their land, so I think the key point is the awareness of this and not give in to the temptation of hoarding goods for your family when it hurts others, especially if you’re a person of great power.
UK: Met Police Chief Watched From Inside Locked Car as Terrorist Stabbed PC to Death at Commons
Fat, fetid and fearful is no way for an officer to go through life. Same goes for the two soy boys with him even if they weren’t fat. For a senior officer to sit comfortably by watching one of his troops being hacked to death is not just a dereliction of duty it is the epitome of what a Knight of the Realm should not be. Below is an ancient description of what a Knight should be and be about:
“The Knight’s duty is to protect the innocent from harm and to punish the guilty, as is symbolized by the sword. The Knight is charged with fighting for the right and good, and thus destined to face many opponents. The battles may be of the body, and the dangers faced by the Knight may be physical; but courage is as greatly in demand with the subtler opponent of the mind or spirit. Whichever circumstances the Knight enters he must always face the enemy with valour.”
Disgust does not even begin to describe the way I feel about him.
“Venezuelan consumer prices rose 488,865 percent in the 12 months ending in September”
Take note old fools like Bernie and young pimply faced fools.
Venezuela use to be a prosperous country, they had oil wealth and the supermarkets were full of goods. Then the Socialists came to power and nationalized the oil industry and the food production industries. Production in these sectors nose dived, export income shrunk, food shortages caused empty supermarkets and poverty. Capitalism is not a perfect system, some adjustments for social good are needed, but it is far better than the failed Socialist alternative. Even the Chinese know that.

I do not understand what is happening in our country. On the one hand, Russians cannot say anything against Muslims and migrants. On the other hand, such are the provocations of the special services.
