Austria - Another right-wing election winner is sidelined in the EU

Lead candidate of the far-right Freedom Party of Austria (FPOe) Herbert Kickl celebrates with supporters at the FPOe election evening party following Austrian parliamentary elections on September 29, 2024 in Vienna, Austria.
'Populist' these days simply means listening to what the people want, yet the Austrian leaders and media are trying to make it look borderline Nazi.

Another right-wing anti-establishment party has just won the popular vote in yet another European nation, this time the Austrian parliamentary elections. But as long as the establishment elites can still figure out how to keep themselves in power by clinging to one another despite their nominal ideological differences, they really don't care. It sounds like a brilliant strategy. Let's see where it goes, shall we?

The elites in Austria, like elsewhere in Europe, see it as their duty to defend democracy by ensuring that the party that gets the most votes gets completely sidelined. Why? Because, Hitler. Duh.

According to the Associated Press, Austria's Freedom Party secured the "first far-right national election win since World War 2." And we all know which famous Austrian is synonymous with the Second World War. How subtle.

"EU rocked as far-Right party founded by Nazi WW2 veterans storms to victory," noted one British tabloid, the Express. "Herbert Kickl's Freedom Party is on for a huge victory in Austria according to early projections." Interesting how Nazi history is omitted entirely when Ukraine's neo-Nazi Azov movement runs around with Nazi symbol flags and tattoos to kudos from the same establishment.

Comment: The so-called democracy which the EU blows much smoke about and claims to be defending, is under assault. Not from the voters or those parties which listen to their voters but rather from the more and more totalitarian globalist elite which in the EU and its member states is getting increasingly desperate in clinging to power.

VP debate - J.D. Vance has done something Trump cannot

By being reasonable, polite, and focused on policy issues, the Republican vice presidential nominee won his debate hands down.

Republican Vice Presidential nominee J.D. Vance handed in a bravura performance in his debate with his Democrat counterpart Tim Walz this week.

The debate was full of surprises - including the fact that the confrontation between the two politicians amounted to something approaching a genuine political debate. Even more surprisingly, it was an extremely civil and polite exchange.

In the Trump era this is an unexpected and rare occurrence. Trump is incapable of seriously debating policy issues - instead he simply abuses and insults his political opponents.

But Vance and Walz managed to engage in a policy debate of sorts and neither candidate stooped to crude personal attacks.

The most surprising aspect of the debate was that a radically new version of J.D. Vance appeared on stage - and the transformation was quite extraordinary.

Comment: Mainstream journalists are used to paint politicians they don't like in a black and white stereotypical fashion. It is therefore a puzzle to them when such politicians are demonstrably seen, as in the VP debate, to be much more nuanced than the caricatures they normally are portrayed as.

Biden-Harris DHS Sec Mayorkas admits FEMA funds won't last through hurricane season after diverting $641 MILLION for 'noncitizen migrants'

"FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season."

Biden-Harris Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has admitted that funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will not last through the hurricane season this year. This comes after the DHS diverted over $640 million for "non-citizen migrants," the latest term for illegal immigrants, for shelters in 2023. This diversion of funding was in April 2024, prior to the disaster that struck the Southeast with Hurricane Helene.

Mayorkas made the admission to reporters on Wednesday, per the Associated Press. "We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting," Mayorkas told the press. "FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season." Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, however most of the storms occur in September and October.

FEMA is currently being stretched for cash as it has been working to assist with the damage that has been caused by Hurricane Helene in the southern states of the US. The storm made landfall in Florida last week, and then it went up through several other states in the Southeast before dying down. The storm flooded and destroyed several towns and has killed at least 160 people. Hundreds are still missing and that number is expected to rise.

Enough already: Stop provoking Russia

Like many people, I eagerly await Scott Horton's upcoming book, Provoked, which will explain in detail the US provocations that led to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. But will it come too late?

Since the Russia-Ukraine war began, the Biden administration, in collaboration with the Ukrainian government and much of Europe, has continued incessantly provoking Putin toward a wider conflict with the West. One can recognize the dangerous path we tread without justifying any of Russia's responses to these provocations.

The US and Europe have armed Ukraine to the teeth. The West has funded Ukraine's military effort — and a great deal of corruption — to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars. Supposedly this is good for the US because it aids the US military-industrial complex, but this will be cold comfort in the event of war with Russia.

Best of the Web: The FBI entraps another fake assassin

trump FBI routh
Two attempts on the life of a former president, less than two months apart, is unprecedented in American history. And yet it's not entirely surprising given that the country's most powerful institutions and industries have spent the last eight years weaponizing the most suggestible and mentally ill of our citizenry to target Donald Trump and his supporters. Now it seems the FBI may be recruiting from abroad as well.

According to the Trump campaign, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence recently briefed the Republican candidate on "real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States." The Secret Service was alerted to the threat before the July 13 attempt on Trump's life and reportedly increased his security because of it. But that was not enough to stop Thomas Matthew Crooks from shooting Trump in the face, killing Corey Comperatore, and wounding two other attendees.

There's little doubt the Iranians are targeting Trump, say former intelligence officials with whom I spoke. "The Iranians are promiscuous assassins, and they hate Trump more than anyone else on earth," says Peter Theroux, a retired CIA officer who worked on Iran and related issues during his tenure at Langley. "Trump enforced sanctions against Iran. He moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. He was the most antithetical to everything Tehran wants, including the triumphal visit to Riyadh he made for his first presidential trip in 2017."

Comment: This time. As if a deep stater like Wray will ever 'come clean'. The more alarming aspect of this fake FBI assassination plot is that the Feds may have intended to link Crooks to this idiot, and thus Iran, thereby channeling American public outrage into support for war against Iran.

Liberation of the Kursk Region or nuclear armageddon

Alexander Dugin argues that the decision has been made.

Yesterday's session of the permanent meeting of the Russian Security Council, during which Vladimir Putin announced amendments to our country's nuclear doctrine ("Fundamentals of State Policy in the Field of Nuclear Deterrence"), is an extremely important event. The most significant aspect here is the following innovation introduced into the nuclear doctrine: participation in aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state, if supported by a nuclear state, will be considered a joint attack on the Russian Federation.

This is a fundamental point, according to which our President, as Supreme Commander-in-Chief, now not only retains the right to use nuclear weapons. In the event that our country is attacked by a non-nuclear state with the support of a nuclear state, he is not only entitled to respond according to the full logic of nuclear deterrence but is obligated to do so.

Comment: Grasp 'the totality' of what is at stake. That's it. Show's over.

True Promise II: Did Iran 'restore deterrence' after its latest strikes against Israel?

Iran versus Israel
All that can be assessed thus far in the absence of any Israeli retaliation at the time of writing is that both sides are very concerned about their reputations.

Iran launched several hundred ballistic missiles against Israel on the evening of 1 October in retaliation for the self-professed Jewish State's assassination of top Resistance Axis figures and its latest war in Lebanon.

Both sides are spinning this to their advantage: Iran claims that "True Promise II" destroyed several of its enemy's military bases while Israel insists that it was a mostly harmless demonstration. Even so, Israel still promised to retaliate at a time and place of its choosing, keeping the world on edge.
The timing of Iran's retaliation coincides with the start of the latest Israeli-Lebanese War's ground phase and might thus have been partially meant to deter a large-scale operation that could lead to Gaza-like levels of destruction. It also followed some of its supporters angrily speculating that Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's assassination last week might not have happened had Iran decisively responded to the assassination of Hamas' political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran over the summer.

Comment: The answers? We won't have long to wait. Neither side will pass up an advantage.

Chaos as cover

If you're looking toward this election as anything other than a trigger event, you're missing the point. It doesn't even matter who wins in respect to your preparedness. Contact with the enemy is ensured either way. There is no peaceful path other than total and complete compliance; abandoning any hope for the future of the republic and human rights.

As LTC Steven Murray put it in a recent video, this vote is not like any other, it is the last act of a civilized man participating in a civilized act simply to erase the last vestige of responsibility before becoming absolutely ungovernable. The goal is to make the communists exert every effort to overcome the popularity and vote count to arrive at a Kamala win. The harder they have to work the more careless they become and the more eyes open as to the real status of the coup.

Where Trump would have to be inaugurated before implementing any of his policies, Kamala could start immediately, bypassing the ordinary transition, because all of her secretaries and sychophants would already be in place. They would basically be those of Barack Obama's fourth term, anyway. She will then be able to go to sleep like Joe and let them run it all, but with much strengthened zeal toward the outright denigration of the population.

Comment: It is all downhill from here: How soon, how fast, how deadly.

Harris a threat to US democracy - Vance

Democratic nominee Kamala Harris wants to silence those she accuses of "misinformation," the Republican VP candidate has said.

Limits on free speech have become the biggest threat to US democracy, Republican vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance claimed during a televised debate on Tuesday.

Donald Trump's running mate for the November election faced off with his Democratic opponent, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, on CBS News.

Vance claimed:
"Rather than debating and persuading fellow Americans, (Democratic nominee) Kamala Harris would like to censor people who engage in misinformation.

"Harris is engaged in censorship on an industrial scale. She has done it over a number of issues. That's a bigger threat to democracy than what Donald Trump said when he said protesters should peacefully protest on January 6."

Comment: Donald Trump has the right to free speech just like every other American.

White Helmets

The self-proclaimed NGO is allegedly working on another false-flag chemical attack in Syria.

The White Helmets, a self-proclaimed civil defense group formed a decade ago in Syria at the height of the civil war, is back in the spotlight, after the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service accused it this week of preparing to stage another chemical weapons attack.

RT's Saskia Taylor looks back at the shady origins of the group, which was generously sponsored by Western governments and lionized by Western press. She explores its unsavory coziness with jihadist forces, and extensive evidence that at least some of its media content was fraudulent.
