Signs of that happening come to us with additional news in a similar vein this month. For one example, can you name the youngest national leader in the world right now? If you said Emanuel Macron you’re probably in the majority, but you’re also wrong. Macron is already almost an old man compared to the guy who is set to take power in Austria. That would be 31-year-old Sebastian Kurz, leader of the reinvigorated People’s Party (OeVP), who is about to topple the Socialist Democrat establishment in his nation. This has resulted in what the Washington Times’ Wesley Pruden describes as, “An Austrian thumb in the eye of the elites.” But the new Austrian chancellor, youthful as he is, represents just the kind of new blood that Kennedy brought to the fore in the new world. He has achieved something close to rock-star status. He took over a fading political party whose party colors were black and black, replaced them with turquoise, rebranded the party as “a movement,” promised to get tough on runaway immigration, go easy on new taxes but to stay in Europe and “put Austria first.” Did Kurz come up with “put Austria first” as a copy of Trump’s America First or did they arrive at those catchphrases independently? At this point, it doesn’t really matter. But there’s more of a similarity here than simple sloganeering. Check out the details of the Kurz platform which the Daily Mail described with palpable alarm. Some of this may ring a bell to American observers of politics. (Emphasis added) Kurz, dubbed the Conservative Macron due to his age and his party reform, said: ‘I would of course like to form a stable government. If that cannot be done then there are other options,’ adding that he planned to talk to all parties in parliament but would first wait for a count of postal ballots that begins on Monday. Kurz may form a coalition with either the now weakened Social Democrats or with the more right-wing Freedom Party. But he’s also indicating a willingness to simply go it alone if he can’t structure a deal in keeping with his campaign pledges. But Kurz isn’t the only one. The Czech Republic, also part of that same eastern block, is closing in on their own elections and if the current polling is remotely accurate the race won’t be all that close. Their next leader is most likely to be a far less youthful, but equally revolutionary gentleman who is being referred to as “the Czech Trump” or “the new Berlusconi,” depending who you ask. 63 year old Andrej Babis is the leader of the ANO party and is on track to take control. He’s similarly alarmed the defenders of the status quo with comments about how he is, “done with multiculturalism.” (The Telegraph) To be clear, I don’t believe any of this signals the absolute end of the European Union, nor will the socialist tendencies of their more western member countries be completely subsumed any time soon. Neither Kurz nor Babis is signaling an immediate move toward leaving the EU and both of their nations still benefit greatly from trade through that organization. But at the same time, they have no interest in having Brussels micromanage the affairs of their respective nations and they want their borders to be secured. And seeing how well Hungary has done in thumbing its nose at the EU, both of these men have little reason to fear reprisal. “Make Europe Great Again?” When I recently wrote about the possibility of a coming east-west schism in the European Union (EU), I focused primarily on Hungary and Poland. They’re part of that eastern block of countries which joined the EU a bit later and introduced a definite culture clash with their significantly more socialist, globalist neighbors in France and Brussels. Recent events to the east seem to have signaled a swift erosion of the older, established “elites” who have been running the show. But there are still more dominos left to fall. Herr Kurz is called “the Austrian Trump,” and not, to celebrate his youth, “the Austrian JFK,” which illustrates just how far time has marched on. Two generations have been birthed in Europe that can barely recognize the late president by his mere initials. The young leader, dubbed Wunderwuzzi in his home country, which translates to Wonderkid, has pledged to cut benefits for all foreigners in Austria and has vowed to stop the European Union meddling in the country’s politics. “We have other enemies than Russia. We have to fight the human traffickers in the Mediterranean. Twenty thousand have died in that sea. We have terrorism blighting Europe. What are we waiting for?” Mr. Babiš insisted that there are no genuine refugees arriving in Europe.

The Czech elections are the likely tipping point between Old Europe and New Europe. The Czechs, Poles, Austrians and Hungarians could constitute a formidable counterweight against Germany's Merkel and her French boy-toy, Macron.
Who would have ever thought back in the 80s that Hungary, Poland and the Czech republic would be more western then west Europe.
It can't be too surprising that they don't like to be ordered around by Brussels any more than they liked being ordered around by Moscow during the Soviet era. Despite a rising resistance, I don't see Brussels stopping. They will keep pushing and may resort to more coercive measures. This is where Brexit has really hurt them. And the situation in Catalonia only makes things worse.
Despite a rising resistance, I don't see Brussels stopping. They will keep pushing and may resort to more coercive measures. This is where Brexit has really hurt them. And the situation in Catalonia only makes things worse. You have brought up what I have found to be a very, very interesting subject -- Catalonia and the Basque people/race. Linguists tell us that virtually all of the languages spoken in Europe and Asia and north Africa are derived from a common language that originated in Mesopotamia, that is, the Garden of Eden and Adam and Eve. The only exceptions are the languages spoken by the Basques (in Catalonia), and the Turks/Turkish language, and the Uralic languages. To make a long story very short, God only wants the descendants of Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply until they have dominion over all the Earth. IMHO, the Basque people should be very thankful that they even exist 6000 years later, and submit to being ruled by the descendants of Adam and Eve and be exceedingly glad about it. Barry Midyet
To make a long story very short, God only wants the descendants of Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply until they have dominion over all the Earth. IMHO, the Basque people should be very thankful that they even exist 6000 years later, and submit to being ruled by the descendants of Adam and Eve and be exceedingly glad about it. Barry Midyet You have interesting views. Now let's perfect them a bit. (1) Catalonia is not the Basque country. Catalonia is the territory of the Catalans, centered on Barcelona on the eastern, Mediterranean coast of Spain. (2) The Basque country - Euskal Herria (in Euskal, which is the Basque word for "Basque") - Vasconia in Spanish - is on the western, Atlanic coast, of Spain and France, centered on the Pyrenees, the Atlantic, coastal borderlands between the two countries. Catalonia and the Basque country (which includes both Vasconia and Navarre, on the Spanish side, and Lapurdi, Zuberoa and French Navarre on the Frenchside) do not touch geographically. The Spanish province of Aragon sits between them. My point: Catalonia is not peopled by Basques, and the Catalans do not speak Basque. They speak Catalan, a Latin language, which is essentially the same as the traditional language of Southern France - the "Languedoc" dialect. (3) We Basques are descendants of the post-Flood Nephilim. The biological difference between us and the rest of the Europeans, reposing in our blood type, makes us only partially interfertile with other people. Essentially, a Basque woman with Rh negative blood has typically only been able to have one child with a male who has Rh positive blood, because of the "blue baby" syndrome. After she has had her first child, the leakage of the positive blood allele across the placental connection causes an allergic reaction in the woman, which in turn causes her body to reject all later Rh positive babies. (4) What this means is that when other folks have come through the Basque country, as conquerors or colonizers, that Basque women have been able to produce at most one child with them, but they can produce unlimited children with other Basques. In time, this has acted to genetically reduce the presence of the foreigner with each successive generation, and to preserve the Basque race. Basques have always been seafarers, the first open-ocean Atlantic ones. This has been for the purpose of fishing, not conquest. On land, we've been sheepherders since time immemorial. Columbus was the hired head of the expedition, but he got to America and back on ships crewed by Basques - nobody else were deep-sea sailors. Ditto for Magellan. He died. It was his Basque crew who actually made it around the world. (5) As far as us deserving to be "very thankful that we even exist..." and that we ought to "submit", you sound like a Nazi. Other people did not give us life. The same God that gave you your life, and that will take it away, gave us ours. We are men like anybody else, descendants of Adam and Eve. We're partly descended from the giants also, but what is that to you? We don't have the Rhesus monkey factor in our blood because we're descended from angels. YOU have it because YOU are descended from monkeys. So we're superior to you, obviously. The royal families of France and Spain - the House of Bourbon - comes out of Navarre and are Basque in origin. So, really, we are the greatest explorers and rulers - even our blood rejects your monkey blood. See how idiotic that sounds? (6) We fish. We herd sheep. We leave people alone. We came over to Christ in Roman times and have stayed with him. We haven't invaded our neighbors. We've had various folks pass through, and some stay...Celts, Romans, Visigoths, Arabs (the Song of Roland takes place in the Basque country), French and Spanish. Once we're all Christian and people are not abusive, what difference does it make? We're a smallish tribe that never had any ambition to take over the world, and it's better for us to be connected with the wider world. Catching fish and herding sheep is a living, but there's more to life than that, and to get out of your little province and see the world you need to be able to get along with other people. Some people get the idea of making other people "submit" to their imagined cultural superiority into their heads. The Romans did. They're gone. The Muslims did. They're gone. Franco did. He's dead and has shuffled off to hell. We're still there. And here. And all over the world. (7) Another correction: All of humanity is descended from Adam and Eve, and from Cain and Zillah, and Noah and Na'amah and either Ham, Shem or Japheth. Some of us are also descended from fallen angels. I think you're probably not descended from monkeys, you just act like you are with all of this "SUBMIT" business. Chimps and imperalists beat their chests. Always have. They die and rot in the grave like fishermen and herders, just the same. But the fisherman and the herder has a better chance of spending the afterlife in Paradise than the imperialist. He gets to spend a longer spell in purgatorial Gehenna repenting his violence and arrogance. So no, we should not be "submitting" to you monkey-bloods, any more than you should be submitting to us angelics. Really, the only difference between us and you, when you get down to the brass tacks, is that we are much better looking and therefore get more girls.

Now THAT's good stuff! If I win the lottery, I'm going to do it: milk the white-tails! It's proven technology with the reindeer, so let's take it to the next step!
Since we've had a number of posts now based on this reindeer "farmer", I thought I'd mention a bit more about him. He's a Santa impersonator and his thing is getting his reindeer to pull a sleigh in parades and at special events. I can't find a picture of them actually pulling the sleigh. Bentivolio said he took up acting in movies to get rid of his stage fright in front of cameras. In 2010, he acted in the low budget movie Lucy's Law in the role of a TV News reporter.[9] In 2011, he appeared in another low budget political satire, The President Goes to Heaven.[10] . . . Bentivolio's wife Karen is a registered nurse. They have resided in Milford, Michigan since 1982 and live on a small farm raising reindeer trained to pull Santa’s sleigh in various parades and special holiday events within Michigan. They also maintain a small flock of chickens, a 25-hive apiary of honeybees, and a 115-vine vineyard. Bentivolio is an avid sportsman and bass fisherman. He is a novice golfer and enjoys clay pigeon shooting.[49] I don't think he milks the reindeer or the chickens. I have to wonder if he's brave enough to stand that close to the reindeer bucks during the rut. I know I wouldn't.
