The Struggle Against the Deep State in Slovenia

The Western world, including the USA, is rapidly devolving into a totalitarian state, similar to the communist totalitarianisms of the past, except with more sophisticated propaganda.

With that in mind, back in January I collected several accounts by volunteer translators who had lived under communism, and whom I invited to compare and contrast what they had endured with what is going on now in what was formerly known as the Free World.

Jože Bišcak, the editor of the Slovenian magazine Demokracija responded to my post by writing me the following email. I have been remiss in not publishing it until now, but yesterday’s election in Slovenia has made it especially relevant and timely:

The Slovenian experience is bad. After World War II, Slovenia was forcibly annexed to Yugoslavia, which became a socialist state. After killing off the managers, factory owners, priests, and louder critics of communism (the SD party, the direct successor to the Communist Party, is still based in a Jewish villa stolen after World War II.), the communist elite immediately started to look after its own comfort: it raised money by teaming up with the Italian mafia to smuggle cigarettes. Later, the Udba (the communist secret police that persecuted dissent) started setting up companies and banks (including abroad) and channelling money into them. After Slovenia’s independence (1991), which at least on a declaratory level became a democratic state, lustration was unfortunately not carried out; this is still evident today, when communists disguised as democrats control the judiciary and use it to settle scores with right-wing political parties.

While the centre-right coalition currently in power is trying to dismantle the socialist parallel system, the left-wing opposition is constantly causing problems by organising mass (and violent) protests. To do this, it uses money it stole decades ago (unofficial information says that more than $50 billion was routed abroad — mainly to tax havens — by the time of independence).

Last November, in an editorial for Demokracija, I talked about a book written by a young economist, Rado Pezdir, who researched what the Communist Party was doing, and used documents to expose the parallel mechanism of the communist Deep State.

Mr. Bišcak sent the English translation of the first chapter of Rado Pezdir’s book Parallel Mechanism (including a prologue explaining the parallel mechanism of the deep state) in PDF format. It’s too long to reproduce here, but it offers a fascinating glimpse into the way the communists, who kept their positions in the banks and formed the government at the time, laundered money for the Iranian terrorist regime.

It describes in detail the process outlined in Mr. Bišcak’s email. It sounds similar to what happened in Russia, but on a smaller scale.

Below is the editorial published in Demokracija. It mentions Janez Janša as one of the center-right people who struggled against the corrupt establishment that has emerged as the successor to the communists. Mr. Janša has been prime minister since 2020, and held the same office on two separate occasions before that. In yesterday’s election his party was defeated by the new SvoboDA party, which (as mentioned in last Saturday’s post) allegedly benefited from Russian interference in the election.

Parallel mechanism

by Jože Bišcak
November 3, 2021

The book Parallel Mechanism of the deep state by professor and publicist Rado Pezdir is not only important because it proves with documents the parallel economy of the former communist regime and reveals why the transition is not over, but also because it explains events in the first years after independence. In those days, there was already a lot of talk about the post-war massacres and murders of Udba [security service, analogous to the KGB]. Decades of fear of the Party police were still among the people, and even the Communists disguised as Democrats did not react excessively to their criminal activities; they were in sackcloth and ashes for a bit and tried to relativize and justify their actions with the legal system of the time. By doing so, they diverted the public debate about the legacy of the totalitarian system far away from the economy, for which they were genuinely afraid it would be revealed.

The only group of journalists who dealt with this issue more seriously was the so-called Slivnikova cetica (the late Danilo Slivnik and Vesna R. Marincic, Vinko Vasle, Igor Guzelj, me, and a few others). If the Organisation, as Slivnik called the Party’s leadership, manipulated and perfidiously blocked (even with moles within the spring parties) the work of various commissions, something happened in the first months of 1993 that caused all the red lights to go off in the deep state, the defence mechanism was triggered and in a good year it dealt with everyone who touched the parallel economy.

In Delo’s editorial “Casinò Royal”, Slivnik wrote about huge amounts of money flowing to the parties of the transitional left, Janez Janša spoke about the money you can use to buy elections. As they wallowed in Udba’s finances, the Udbamafia began preparations for Janša’s political liquidation, which led to the mounted Depala vas affair (later to the Patria affair), the group around Slivnik had to withdraw from Delo to the newly formed magazine Mag. Deep state soldiers, among whom Janez Drnovšek also played a prominent role, ended the purge (with some suspicious suicides) with the abolition of the Social Accounting Service, which was the only one under the leadership of Romana Logar to investigate the red mafia in depth. It took a quarter of a century for Pezdir’s book to be published, which confirms with documents what Slivnikova cetica wrote about, mostly on the basis of oral testimonies. Today’s defence of the deep state is that the parallel mechanism is presented as a system for the benefit of the Slovenian nation and preparations for financial assistance in gaining independence. Pezdir has already rejected this thesis, as no document proves it.

The Food Sucks! We Want to Fix Our Own!

When I started reading this report, I thought, “Wait a minute — the whining from these refugees isn’t what I’d expect from Ukrainians!” And then, sure enough, after reading further it turns out that the “Ukrainians” who are complaining are Muslims. Surprise!

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from the Soester Anzeiger, a local newspaper in North Rhine-Westphalia:

Ukrainian refugees criticize the city’s catering plans

The war refugees from the Ukraine are unsettled because the city of Werl wants to set up a catering service for the residents in the Overberg School area. A caterer is to prepare the meals for the refugees. A large tent was erected in the school yard for this purpose.

Werl — The Stolzenhof catering service from Lünen is to take care of the catering for the residents of the Overberg School. The city administration had already had good experiences with the caterer when the Stadthallen restaurant was closed and Stolzenhof took over the catering until it was re-let.

“Stolzenhof is a very large and recognized caterer that offers good food,” reports Alexandra Kleine from the city administration. From the point of view of the city of Werl, the size of Stolzenhof guarantees that the services can be provided to the full extent.

The refugees are resentful of the city administration’s catering service. In addition to worrying that the food might be inedible, those of Muslim faith are also concerned that the food will not be prepared properly.

Ukrainian war refugees also report that the food in the central accommodation facility (ZUE) was not edible and they now fear the same. For the “full board” the money is deducted from the refugees’ social security. At that point the stove in the communal kitchen of the Overberg School may no longer be used.

Start date postponed again

The dates for the start of the catering service have now been postponed twice. Originally Stolzenhof was supposed to start on April 15th. But this date was moved to May 2nd. This start has also been postponed once again. As Mayor Torben Höbrink reports, the number of war refugees is decreasing and there are not yet enough people for the catering service.

“We’ll wait and see how the situation develops and then decide when to start”, says Höbrink. At the moment, some Ukrainian families are even returning to their homeland, and fewer war refugees are coming. “We don’t yet know what will happen after the Russian offensive”, says the mayor. In order to be prepared for everything, the sports hall of the former Overberg School is being prepared for more refugees from Ukraine. The municipalities expect that more war refugees may soon arrive again.

According to Alexandra Kleine, the caterer has been informed that there are also people of the Muslim faith among the refugees. He is familiar with the special nature of food preparation. “Current plans envisage that there will be one meat dish (beef, chicken, lamb, pork) and one vegetarian dish every day. If a large number of the refugees are of Muslim faith, flexible adjustments can be made. According to the current status, all meals are offered in buffet form, so that every refugee can put together the dishes themselves and choose what they prefer,” says Alexandra Kleine.

The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse: “Vaccination”

Well, this is swell. According to the following report, BioNTech (the German instantiation of Pfizer) says it cannot vouch for the efficacy and safety of its experimental mRNA treatment that is intended to mitigate the effects of infection with the Wuhan Coronavirus. To add insult to injury, it also says it is unable to definitively prevent financial fraud within its own corporate structure.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from the German-language service of the Epoch Times:

BioNTech cannot guarantee the effectiveness or safety of Corona vaccines

In a report, the company BioNTech describes its vaccine as unsafe. There are no studies available; long-term damage is possible.

While corona vaccines are often advertised as harmless, free of side effects and well tolerated, the reality appears to be different.

As a report by the vaccine manufacturer BioNTech shows, even the company expects a number of incalculable risks for those who have been vaccinated.

The United States Securities And Exchange Commission requires quarterly or annual results on Form 20-F (SEC Filing | BioNTech). The risks must be listed right at the beginning.

Although the European Union has ordered 1.8 billion vaccine doses and the German government has contractually fixed purchase commitments until 2029, the company is rather cautious: “Our income depends to a large extent on sales of our COVID-19 vaccine…,” the report says, among other things.

According to this, BioNTech’s income in the previous financial year was €19 billion, and profits were €10 billion. This is mainly due to the fact that, in addition to the EU, many countries had ordered large quantities of the vaccine and had also partially assumed the costs for development, logistics and production.

Fear of significant liability claims

When assessing the safety of its own vaccine, BioNTech contradicts the statements made by politicians, many doctors and the media in almost all parts.

The statement goes on to say: “We may not be able to demonstrate sufficient efficacy or safety of our Corona vaccine and/or variant-specific formulations to warrant permanent regulatory approval in the United States, United Kingdom, European Union or other countries where it has been approved for emergency use or where conditional market approval has been granted.”

The classification of possible side effects is contrary to the assurances of the Ministry of Health, physicians or commissions: “Significant adverse events may occur during our clinical trials or even after receiving regulatory approval that delay or terminate clinical trials, regulatory approval or market acceptance of any of our product candidates.”

BioNTech clearly admits that the protection of the vaccination lasts only for a short time and that there is no evidence from clinical studies. The success of the vaccine also depends on the question “whether previously unknown side effects or an increased occurrence or increased severity of known side effects compared to the side effects observed during the clinical study with our vaccine”.

BioNTech also cannot ”guarantee that newly discovered or developed security problems will not occur.”

Contrary to those who claim that there are no long-term effects of vaccination because side effects are always immediate, BioNTech states in the report: “When a vaccine is used by a large patient population, serious adverse events can occur from time to time, which did not appear in the clinical trials of the product or which at first did not appear to be related to the vaccine itself and are only recognized through later information.”

This could lead to the vaccine having to be withdrawn from the market and being threatened with “significant liability claims”. According to BioNTech, future revenue also depends on how the virus develops and whether a vaccine is actually still needed if the virus is simply endemic.

Unable to prevent fraud

BioNTech also seems to have difficulties with its balance sheets. In the report, the company admits “that we have identified a material weakness in our internal control system for financial reporting in the past”.

Other “material vulnerabilities” that could cause us to fail to comply with our reporting requirements or make material misstatements in our financial statements may emerge in the future. If these vulnerabilities are not addressed, “we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.”

Afterword from the translator:

I’m almost sure that nothing will happen to these monsters! I remind you of — or refer to, for those who don’t know about it — the OxyContin scandal in the USA. There, several pharmaceutical companies (including Pfizer) have thrown the strong painkiller OxyContin onto the market and made billions in profits. As a result of an enormous advertising campaign, the drug was praised and sold/prescribed… the consequence of taking the drug was an extremely high risk of addiction and dependence with subsequent 100,000 deaths! among other things, due to the resulting exploding procurement crime. What happened afterwards? Not much, after that came out they were sued, paid a high fine (even in the billions) and that was it. None of these criminals were ever punished with jail and/or the like; they happily carry on as before. Type into your search-engine OXYCONTIN and read up on it — it opens up an abyss bigger than the Mariana Trench!

In related news, this article from Report24 (also translated by Hellequin GB) collects numerous examples from a plethora of severe and often rare conditions that have afflicted patients immediately after their “vaccination”.

Russian Meddling in Slovenia


Vladimir Putin and Zoran Jankovic

Plenty of attention has been focused on tomorrow’s showdown between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen in the French presidential election. However, there’s another too-close-to-call contest in Europe tomorrow: the parliamentary elections in Slovenia.

According to the Slovenian weekly Demokracija, the Russian government has been attempting to interfere with the Slovenian vote by its support for the new SvoboDA party:

Russian Interference In The Slovenian Elections

By Sara Kovac (Nova24tv)
April 23, 2022

Possible Russian meddling in the Slovenian elections was detected when an NGO, believed to be a special-purpose vehicle for avoiding campaign financing rules for the SvoboDA party, offered free taxi rides to voters in their stronghold Ljubljana.

The SvoboDA was registered a few weeks before the election, and its financing is not transparent. The party president Mr Robert Golob is a former director of Slovenian energy company GEN-I with close ties to Russian Gazprom. Mr Golob is also former vice president of the political party of Mr Zoran Jankovic, who received the Order of Friendship, considered one of the most prestigious Russian awards, from Mr Vladimir Putin.

Mr Dejan Jefim, a businessman with close ties to Serbia, Russia, and Mr Jankovic, finances the taxi rides. Mr Jefim has been a regional manager for the Russian multinational Yandex, but in his own words, he does not work for Yandex anymore. This claim can’t be independently verified. Mr Jefim is also the owner of an IT company that holds 80% market share in the IT equipment for taxi services in Slovenia. Interestingly enough, at the same time, Mr Jefim is also the president of the union of Slovenian taxi drivers.

The vice president of SvoboDA party, Mrs Marta Kos, is a vocal opponent of sending arms to Ukraine and promotes dialogue with Moscow instead.

Interview With Rasmus Paludan

As you all know by now, Sweden had a rather unsettled Easter weekend, thanks to the presence of Rasmus Paludan and his plans to burn Korans in a number of locations. He was scheduled to appear in five different places, but due to the pre-emptive violence of “Swedish” culture-enrichers, he was only able to make two of those appearances.

The New Swedes who took offense at Mr. Paludan gathered en masse to throw stones at police and set fire to police vehicles. They stole uniforms and police equipment, and even hijacked police cars and drove them around before torching them. The attacks on police officers were particularly vicious, and it’s only by the grace of God that none of the injuries sustained by the police were fatal.

In the following interview conducted by Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation, Rasmus Paludan discusses the reasons for his actions, and how the Islamic response fits into the larger picture:

A Handgun Against the New World Order

In my introduction last week to Thierry Baudet’s video I said, concerning the implementation of the New World order, that “…the same is true here in the USA. The process is fully underway now, and not enough people are aware of it for it to be stopped, by democratic means or otherwise. Not only can we not vote our way out of what’s happening, we can’t shoot our way out either, because we are too fragmented and isolated, and under such constant surveillance that the formation of any coherent mass resistance is now all but impossible.”

Western Rifle Shooters Association featured Mr. Baudet’s video (and my comments), but is not as pessimistic about the future of the Country Formerly Known as the United States of America. Concerned American said:

Perhaps here in the former USA as well as Europe.

But perhaps not.

Or more properly, the demon is most certainly in both places, but his final standing — victor or vanquished — is yet to be determined.

Earlier today, the state of Georgia became the 25th American state to remove any form of handgun license requirement for Georgians who otherwise can legally possess firearms.

That means that every day in each of those 25 American states, the servants of tyranny will have to assume that some significant portion of the “civilian” population is both armed and trained at least as well as the average policeman.

So too every politician and bureaucrat in each of those states.

And in another relatively recent post, the Baron was kind enough to bring back a voice from the grave on just what can be done with a handgun.

L’audace, mes amis — l’audace!

Once you know that the government stooges intend to inject, imprison, starve, and eventually kill you and your family as part of the Great Reset, then make them each pay for their bloodthirsty allegiance to Evil.

No matter what weapon, adequate or not, you have at your disposal.

No matter your enemies’ titles, costumes, or alibis.

For the NWO jackboots, their masters, and their bureaucrats:

No prisoners.

Far be it from me to gainsay his remarks. There is no doubt that millions of Americans are well-armed, well-trained, and — shall we say — skeptical about the designs of the federal government.

The problem is not that ornery Americans lack the firepower, or the will to use it. The problem is: Who are you going to shoot?

I’ll present a couple of examples that illustrate the kind of thing I’m talking about.

Imagine that your son is in the second grade at George Floyd Memorial Elementary School. You have some suspicions about the kind of indoctrination that is being inflicted on him, so you slip a micro-recording device into his backpack before he goes to school so you can find out what’s going on. You discover that it’s even worse than you expected: he’s being instructed by his “non-binary” teacher in the explicit details of homosexual erotic practices, and cautioned not to tell his parents about it.

Who do you shoot?

The teacher, maybe. The principal. The superintendent of schools. The mayor and various members of the city council. And perhaps, just for good measure, the purple-haired pierced genderqueer being who represents your district in the state legislature.

And then what happens? If you don’t get blown away by the cops while exacting retribution on the people who did this to your son, you get locked away in the slammer for the rest of your life. In either case, your son grows up without a father. And he still gets instructed in the mechanics of gay sex in his elementary school classes.

The obvious alternative is to pull your kid out of the public schools ASAP. A private school, or, if you can’t afford it, home schooling. The latter can be costly in its own way, if both parents had previously been working for wages. Plus the state or city where you live may make it difficult to home-school. You might be required to use an approved curriculum, which would of course include explicit instruction about gay sex for 7-year-olds.

At that point you might decide to relocate your family to Florida or a rural area in Texas where people are still relatively sane.

In any case, there’s no obvious way to solve the problem by shooting people.

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

Another example.

Imagine that your employer decides to mandate as a condition of your continued employment that you agree to be injected with the experimental mRNA treatment that is intended to mitigate the effects of infection with the Wuhan Coronavirus. You assert your basic human right not to undergo a medical procedure against your will, and decline to comply. As a result you receive two weeks’ severance pay and are shown the door.

You’ve got three kids to support, so you have to find another job pronto. Unfortunately, all the other employers in your area are imposing the same vax mandate, so you can’t find one. After several months of fruitless searching, the mortgage company forecloses on your home, and you’re out on the street with your wife and kids. The entire family ends up sleeping in a van and using the portosans in the park where all the other homeless people live.

Who do you shoot?

Your former employer, for a start. The bank manager, maybe. And, for good measure, the purple-haired pierced genderqueer being who represents your district in the state legislature.

Then you get put away, and your wife and kids are still sleeping in the van down by the park, only now they have no husband or father to protect them from marauding drug addicts and/or violent rapists.

Once again, shooting people didn’t solve the problem.

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

The above examples are relatively trivial compared to what’s rapidly coming down the pike at us. I’m talking about the Great Reset, of course.

The full New World Order will be upon us shortly. The conversion of the tattered remnant of the American republic into a province of the Global Paradise will be ushered in by the collapse of our currency, which is already well underway.

Two essential components will be necessary for the new system to function: universal personal digital identification and a global digital currency. The recent vax passport or “green pass” schemes were a test run for the universal digital identification. The digital ID will be combined with the global digital currency (I’ll call it GDC), and will be mediated by your cell phone.

And everyone has a cell phone, right? I am literally the ONLY person I know who doesn’t have a cell phone. Everybody I know, even the most deplorable libertarian types, has a baby monitor. There must be a few other stone-age weirdoes like me, but they’re few and far between. When the time comes to implement the NWO, it will hardly be necessary to make ownership of a hand-held device mandatory.

If you have a cell phone, the government and major corporations (yes, I know, same thing) know where you are. They know what you buy. They know who you hang around with. And, obviously, they know what you say or text through your phone. If you have Siri or Alexa or something similar, they know what you and your friends converse about in your living room.

Once a personalized digital currency is added, the corporate state will have achieved total surveillance and total control over your personal life.

“Ah,” you say, “but I’ll never be willing to use their digital currency. So they won’t have that.”

Well… You might not have any choice.

It’s not that cash will be outright abolished, not immediately. The first step will be to make it worthless.

That’s where the inflation comes in. The severe inflation that’s beginning right now isn’t a bug in the system, it’s a feature. In order for you to be willing to embrace the new GDC, the currency you’re used to has to lose 99.9% of its value.

11-Year-Old Killed by the Vax in Brazil

The following report is one of the more egregious examples of the damage that is being wrought by the experimental mRNA treatment intended to mitigate the effects of infection with the Wuhan Coronavirus. Children are nudged, bribed, threatened, and coerced into getting the vax, and now an 11-year-old-girl in Brazil is dead as a result.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this German-language article from Report24:

Brazil: School forced 11-year-old to be vaccinated — four days later she was dead

An 11-year-old girl named Izabella da Silva has died in Londrina, a city in the Brazilian state of Paraná, four days after her Covid vaccination. The girl was apparently forcibly vaccinated: MP Ricardo Arruda reported that the school threatened to report the case to the Guardianship Council. The 11-year-old would not only have been expelled from school, but could also have been separated from her parents if she had not complied with the vaccination request.

Izabella received her Covid shot on April 4th. Shortly thereafter she developed severe headaches — on April 8, four days after the vaccination, she died.

MP Ricardo Arruda drew media attention to the case. According to him, the State Ministry of Paraná has issued a letter to all schools, according to which parents of unvaccinated children should be reported to the ministry. Arruda is in touch with Izabella’s parents. They didn’t want their child vaccinated against Covid — but the 11-year-old was so scared by the threats from the school that she asked to be vaccinated. She feared losing her parents otherwise.

Arruda stated in a speech that it has not yet been officially proven that Izabella died from the vaccination. The investigation takes four months. The girl is said to have been perfectly healthy beforehand.

Afterword from the translator:

One always hopes for a certain residual sanity, and that slowly more and more people may come to the realization of how insecure, ineffective and life-threatening this falsely so-called “vaccination” is. In the face of such reports, like this one about the murdered little girl, you really want to despair of humanity.

Ecotokens for Compliant Drones

It appears that parts of Europe are about to launch a Chinese-style social credit system. The first rollout will reportedly be in Italy, but based on the following article, the planning for the Bavarian version was first: it began back in 2019.

Many thanks to MissPiggy for translating this article from Report24:

Social Credit System not only in Italy: such a system is also coming to Bavaria this year

The “Smart Citizen Wallet” pilot project in Bologna, Italy, is currently making headlines. This is to be launched in September and will focus on “the virtuous citizen: Those who are good and, for example, separate their trash, save energy and use public transport, are to be rewarded with points for which they can secure certain benefits. What many consider to be the first social credit system in Europe is, sadly, not a novelty: In Bavaria, a very similar system has long been planned in the form of the “Ökotoken.”

The Bavarian “sustainability token” appeared earlier in the long version of the “climate protection offensive” of 2019. The stated goal is to “promote sustainable behavior in everyday life by rewarding environmentally conscious actions.” The token is intended to have a “signal effect for companies and citizens” (in other words, it is an educational measure). The State Ministry for Digital Affairs is responsible.

The brief description reads as follows:

  • Development of a documentation system including an evaluation framework, in which users can collect plus points in the form of sustainability tokens according to their environmentally conscious behavior; these can then be used for discounts with partners (theaters, swimming pools, possibly organic markets).
  • Establishment of a state office, creation of a consortium for the operative business.
  • Integration of a financial service provider, e.g. Landesbank, for in-valuation and exchange for the partners, see below.
  • Networking of partners from business and the public sector

Implementation was originally planned for 2021 — however, a response to a question to the Bavarian State Parliament in August 2021 indicates that Covid initially put a spanner in the works:

The “ecotoken” (working title) has not yet been used. The measure has been suspended mainly due to the pandemic situation, especially because of the bonus benefits for environmentally friendly behavior, which should preferably concern analogous activities, such as visiting cultural institutions or the like.

However, the project was only temporarily put on hold. A summary of the package of measures in the “Climate Protection Offensive” dated November 15, 2021, indicates that the so-called “ecotoken” is to be implemented in 2022. Of course, this fits in perfectly with the current “freeze for peace” propaganda: the Ukraine war is currently being shamelessly abused for the sake of pushing through the “energy transition”, which is highly damaging for Germany.
