Bravo!
Nice work. Thank you for the report. Italy is strange. It has very high unemployment, massive debt – a lot of structural economic problems.
I don’t even understand how filling jobs can be presented as an argument for this migration. When I’ve been, I see drug dealers around the train stations, knock of fashion brand salesmen on the street and Italians working real jobs. I did hear that in Rome, now, all of the wait staff are Muslim or Hindu. Yet, my ears on the ground show that employment for their youth is very high and the situation is worsening.
Do you have some sense of how close to disingenuous the not enough labor argument is for Italy?
Been watching Rai-Italia & the poison of diversity is well oiled; African man with Italian woman as a couple, on Sunday the Catholic hour showed an Italian girl & an African boy with their heads touching or almost touching, Italian shows depict Africans as being part of Italian society because they are ‘Italian’, etc. etc. To be an Italian citizen one must be Italian by blood; there are attempting to alter that to – if one is born in Italy they are Italian. The strategy is obvious, allow in non-Italians, non-Europeans & their babies born in Italy are, you guessed it, ‘Italian’. My take is that Italy is being destroyed because Italians STILL do not understand that they all & I mean all have to go back. Their presence in Italy represents a ticking demographic time bomb. Anyone who is in contact with Italians please mention this to them.
XIV VERBA
That is just disgusting. I do not know any Italians who aren’t repulsed by that. I am starting to think that the end to this is a consortium of European and European diaspora politicians who turn the tables rhetorically. ‘Crime and strain on our welfare states are way up! We care about these refugees and they must have a home! Israel must take them. They must do their part as a responsible Western Democracy with a strong and growing economy and close proximity to the Mediteranean, Africa and the Middle East.’ Do that with seriousness and maybe something will change.
You left out the benefits of diversity.
What a classic!
Yeah. The entire video is pure genius. How we wiggled in Hitler quoting Barbara Specter Lerner or Lerner Specter whatever that Rabbi’s wife’s hyphenation ordering is, was absolutely brilliant.
The problem with young White girls dating African young men is that the Left has been dosing all White people with loads of shame for how ‘we’ treated ‘the poor slaves’. So, young girls take it as a direct shame for themselves, and by dating young African boys, they feel they are making amends for how badly ‘we’ have treated ‘those poor people’, so they get involved in dating them.
I’ve known European White women to date and mate with Blacks just to piss off their parents and siblings. Think of that! They felt the worst thing they could do to their family is date, mate and/or marry Blacks. It’s a wicked thing to do, and it is also racist against Blacks (and they do it without admitting it is racist!).
The argument always has been disingenuous, no matter which country, at least since I’ve been around. At some point they actually were doing it to bring in cheap labor to undercut wages, which of course impoverishes the people who belong. However, more lately, they just bring in undesirables who add nothing. It’s pretty much for anarcho-tyranny and to make leftists feel like they’re wonderful people for supporting all this.
I remember a follow-up study of a million “Syrians” brought into Germany as “refugees” – only 11 of them had a job; the other 999,989 or so were still sucking the welfare tit. As for Italy, when I was there a decade ago, the only Africans I saw were grifters selling fake designer purses and such on the streets. One would think the real manufacturers would raise hell, and the cops would do something, but of course not.
Hi Beau. Last I was visiting my friends in Italy where I once lived, the newspapers were running articles on a friend’s daughter. She cobbled together hustles as a graphic designer, tattoo artist and interior designer that in the aggregate amounted to part time, ‘pay my folks room and board money.’ The article touted her as a grand success in her mid 20s. Meantime, party patronage government workers sweeping the steps of Rome’s government offices were making huge salaries. The unemployment is massive in Italy.
The wandering Moroccan and Sub-Saharan beggars and pop-up China/Gucci merchants have been there since the late 90s. The Italians hated them. At one point during the Balkan war they bused in a bunch of Albanians, who the Italians also loathed – for good reason. I remember there was a huge outrage as a beautiful new Pullman picked up a load of Albanians to ship off to subsidized housing. Some of the Albanians who knew the news cameras were broadcasting this to outraged Italians, put their noses to the windows, flipped off the cameras and clearly mouthed, “Va fa’n cullo!” The bar I was in at the time erupted in outrage with people throwing stuff at the tv. If only The West had that minimum of vitality and spunk. I hope the Italians aren’t losing it. We need more than that simulacra, but at least the spirit is there. The Albanians would steal and rob at night and beg in the squares by day.
In East Berlin a few years ago, the sprawling African and Muslim ghettos were unsafe, disgusting, graffiti canvases filled with idlers during sun-up. I was absolutely shocked at what I saw there while friends were living in tiny, run-down, expensive apartments on the edge of the ghetto. They could send all of the ghetto dwellars home, level it, build new housing, and true Germans could have abundant and much less expansive housing to buy up and rent. Of course, the usurers wouldn’t like that very much.
I think that is what this is all about. Humans are cattle who can be used to drive up demand using government subsidized basic necessities. The immigrants are just some intermediary to launder the money through to expropriate the once thriving people of Europe and the European diaspora. The hoteliers, churches and government housing lords are traitors who are just cashing in on the government teet.
The usurers play both sides. They lend the government the money and charge interest and bond issuance fees. They get the interest paid back by driving up demand for housing by bringing in cattle. The cattle vote for the uni-party and demoralize the working and lower and increasingly the middle class. The remaining wealth and wealth producers who are European, pay more and more for basic necessities. For nice things, they borrow ever larger sums from the usurers. To the usurers, they are all nothing more than cattle to be milked. Then they turn Italy into a museum that needs chattle workers the way Dubai does. Italians can’t live as camerieri or won’t and so now you go to Rome to dine amongst Hindus and Muslims. Imagine that. You go to Italy, hard enough to experience a country in 4 or 5 days, and you are not even served by Italians in one of their key cultural arenas of culinary arts. Simply astounding what these usurers have accomplished. (Cue anti-racist Hitler’s diversity sloganeering). Merchants can only run a society in one way – into a ground covered in slop and excrement.
The church once defended the people from the usurers. They needed the tithes too. Now, they all milk the same money printer.
But, we are cowards. We are so afraid of bankruptcy, we’ll do anything to pretend there is economic growth – both the politicians and the public. I remember in Italy the elders that recalled to me their childhoods in the post-war devastation and depravation. They rebuilt the country and endured the hardships. You can see it in the early Visconti and Fellini and diSicca films – amidst the rubble Italians with vitality and optimism sparkling in their eyes. Many years later, if those elders are alive they must wonder what it was for and why their children can’t do the same. The usurers rely upon our depravity and preference for immediate comfort in exchange for long-term ruin over sacrifice and struggle invested for the resulting glory, satisfaction, fulfillment and meaning. Modern comfort is a terrible thing. Satisfaction by attainment to high standards is wonderful. How we have fallen. But, we are the new elite, and we and standards will one day be greeted with joy by the righteous amongst our people.
I like that you have some numbers. I will be in contact regarding my idea related to the factoid assemblage per my other post. A bit crushed for time, believe it or not but I will reach out. Thanks again for the numbers on the Syrians.
Great speech. But regarding Fratelli remember actions speak louder than words, and their actions so far have been to allow the invasion to continue, both licit and illicit, whilst representing to the people that they will defend the nation. I’m fairly sure they’re kosher-certified too, reminiscent of Yoram Hazony’s National Conservative movement.
It was a great speech, I’m happy to see that civil disobedience is still alive. In America it is hampered by a lack of organization and leadership. Europe’s social fabric is a strength we will have to emulate if we are succeed in America.
