In what is quite clearly emerging as a worldwide Deep State tactic to hamstring the rise of national populism wherever “the system” sees it raising its ugly head, we have — closely following the Trump impeachment saga and the arraignment of Marine Le Pen for posting violent ISIS images on her Twitter account — the withdrawal of the right to immunity for Matteo Salvini, former Italian Minister of the Interior, for deciding not to allow 131 migrants aboard the Gregoretti coastguard vessel to land on his native soil. This has given magistrates in Sicily the go-ahead to proceed with charges that could lead to a sentence of up to 15 years in prison.
This timely intervention by a tribunal of anti-Salvini ministers has apparently given credence to the assertions made by a separate — and far junior — judicial body in Catania that Salvini had “abused his power” by illegally detaining the asylum seekers in 2019, and had, in effect, kidnapped them. It’s a laughably contrived legal case, and lynch-mob style investigation, but also one that could badly impact Salvini’s ambition to lead the Lega political group to electoral success in the forthcoming elections.
The situation — like the wall-to-wall anti-Trump news coverage and the vitriol the French press pours over anyone with the surname Le Pen in France — gives the media ample opportunity to smear Salvini, put off wavering voters, and prefix anything he says with the innuendo that he is a felon. Even if he is only partially chastised, this could be used to disbar him from holding public office.
These are outcomes the Conte administration would privately welcome. Salvini offers up a genuine, if sometimes erratic, opposition to a government that wants open borders, a return to a Cold War stand-off with Putin’s Russia, even stronger laws on hate speech, a European army composed not necessarily of Europeans, and a highly regulated education system that emphasizes the negative aspects of European colonialism and the benefits of modern multiculturalism.
Salvini is, however, not one to take such matters lying down. In his usual cavalier style, he stated that he wishes to go into court with his “head held high,” and quoted the illustrious poet Ezra Pound on Twitter: “If a man is not ready to fight for his ideas, either his ideas are worthless or he is.”
Buona giornata Amiche e Amici!
“Se un uomo non è disponibile a correre qualche rischio per le proprie idee, o le sue idee non valgono nulla o è lui che non vale nulla”.

These are words that set the stage for the fight of his life, for it is almost certain that every possible barrier will now be placed in his way prior to the vote.
After all, there is simply no way the system could tolerate his return to the corridors of power. The old maxim “once bitten, twice shy” comes to mind. This, added to the fact that Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party would inevitably ride in on his coattails, fills the Rome-Brussels Axis with genuine fear. They’re aware that the fragile, paper-thin power-structure they have built around a tissue of cliché, packed lies could be highly susceptible to a resurgent right-wing coup. Such a move would take a united Europe, composed of ethnically homogenous and nationally-oriented sovereign states, like Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic, out of the hands of the globalists and their time-serving bureaucratic puppets and place it firmly in the traditionalist camp.
The early warning shots of just such a revolution have already been fired in Austria and by the Alternative for Germany in the recent regional elections in Saxony.
A renewed sense of identity is awakening across the continent, promising to create an economic and intellectual powerhouse that may just save Western Civilization.

He relishes the fight as do Millions of his supporters Indeed one thing Italy has perhaps more of than other fellow European Nations is a deep seated suspicion of politicians and by that I mean the mainstream politicians which I think will most likely translate into increased support.
Dear D. Marotta,
Salvini is a fighter – the more they throw at him – the stronger he gets !
best wishes

It is strange because Matteo took some protective measures to stay on the kosher side of Italian politics. Just a month ago he was groveling at the feet of Pharisees proclaiming that if elected as Premier he would recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. I thought he had done enough to get into the good books of the (((elite))).
Dear Muhammad Aryan,
As per Trump you can never do enough…They are insatiable and their appetites can never be satisfied

Does it not seem that every tactic the liberals said made ‘fascism’ and ‘totalitarianism’ bad has become part of the stock-in-trade of those same liberals. You would have thought that in the 1920s and 1930s liberals would have figured out that if the law will not deliver order then something else will. Every day, in every way our enemy makes ready the way for Those Who Will to rise to power. Who can believe in ‘the law’ when the law is used to facilitate lawlessness and anarchy? It’s sad, really. Liberalism was kind of sweet.
Dear Hamburger Today,
The new Liberalism is totally totalitarian and deserves our utter contempt. It is a noxious poison being used to mask the eradication of unique cultures, indigenous human species(mostly of the white western variety) and turn us all into trained Pavlovian units that consume what (((they))) feed us both intellectually and physically. I am personally sick to death of their meaningless platitudes, virtue signalling and elevation of the primitive above the civilized. Almost any process/mechanism/vehicle that fights back against this dullard politically correct indoctrination needs to be supported. This evil edifice must fall. I see the cracks opening up and I find myself chuckling at the thought of their demise.

THE WEST still doesn’t get it. We, THE PEOPLE, will have to take our countries back ourselves because our leaders are traitors.
Dear John,
You are right – the vacuum the dullards in power have created will give us the space to occupy in the medium to long-term

Austria? I thought the FPÖ got screwed by a engineered scandal and now the “Greens” are in power. Speaking of the “Greens”, does anyone know how much of their recent Europe-wide surge is due to aliens flocking to their banner?
Dear Bartolo,
Good things come out of Austria – keep an eye on the Austrian Identitarians – short-term set backs will only harden medium/ long-term outcomes

” Such a move would take a united Europe, composed of ethnically homogenous and nationally-oriented sovereign states, like Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic, out of the hands of the globalists and their time-serving bureaucratic puppets and place it firmly in the traditionalist camp.”
Yes, as soon as these nations are ready to give up their lucrative market position and their investment-driven growth which is largely responsible for the rising individual prosperity and a rising culture of luxury and welfare, which is evidently – not very soon. No employed person in any of these countries has any illusions as to who and what enables higher wages, higher spending and other amenities of our clearance sale world. Take a glimpse at the job market – 90% of decent positions are all foreign companies, all of them as LGBTQ+ positive as possible.
Dear Arthur,
I love your expression Clearance Sale World – it is a perfect reflection of our high streets the length and breadth of Europe. But we have to start somewhere and when your children are attacked in school, you can’t get a hospital appointment because there’s a queue of migrants at the counter of the health care centre, your job’s been outsourced to a Chinese sweat-shop employing convict slave labour and your wife can’t go to the supermarket without being molested by Muslim hordes – something’s got to give. The plastic inducements of credit and the fun and games of X factor TV shows are wearing thin – momentum is swinging slowly (too slowly) but decidedly in our direction. This is our time. There’s a horn blowing over the horizon and I can hear the sound of horses hooves trampling the Pelennor fields.

Great reference to Ezra Pound. He and Charles Lindbergh and so many others (Solzhenitsyn) silenced by the usurious governments and communist goons in academia and the media. The truth has been mostly erased. We are told not to believe our own eyes regarding race and civilization. Our only hope is making white babies. Do your duty.
I wish Salvini well, and I think that he will emerge from this legal charade as the winning party. If they put him into jail they’d bestow herodom upon him. The opponents of the emerging national thinking don’t understand that the means at their hands only work as long as they are in power, they don’t have the will and sentiment of their nation behind them, but rather a state apparatus that works as long as it is supported by public acclamation. And the means to stay in control of this state apparatus become increasingly icky. I am thinking in this respect of the cancellation of a an election in the German state of Thuringia by edict of Chancellor Merkel per telephone from South Africa. Somehow, their democracy doesn’t perform satisfactorily for them anymore, hence they give up the pretense that they were ever interested in the welfare of their people or bound to principles of popular rule.
The general direction of the fortunes of the Western Ruling Club is downwards, and the fact that national opposition is springing up everywhere, including in the mass-psychologically overworked Federal Republic of Germany, is a portent of a change to come.
