A march in Poland to commemorate a battle between Poles and Ukrainians in 1918 was marred by anti-Ukrainian slogans, one of which demanded that the city of Lvov in western Ukraine be returned to the Poles. Kiev wants an investigation.

The march, which took place in the southwestern Polish city of Przemysl on Saturday, was attended by local politicians, historians, activists, and radicalized youths. According to the Prostir news portal, one of the march organizers was the National Radical Camp movement.

Dubbed "March of Eaglets of Przemysl and Lvov," the event ended without clashes, though at some point a marcher chanting "Death to Ukrainians!" was recorded on camera. The Association of Ukrainians in Poland (OUP) also noted another chant along the lines of "Przemysl, Lvov are always Polish."

Comment: Meanwhile, Nazi Azov Battalion held its own march in Ukraine...
Thousands of supporters of the ultra-nationalist Azov Battalion held a torch-lit march on the streets of the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkov under the watchful eye of some 550 police officers.

Singing and chanting nationalist slogans, around 2,000 members of the civil wing of the Azov Battalion marched through the city. Slogans such as "Ukraine - above all", "glory to Ukraine" and "death to the enemies!" were heard during the procession.

Carrying Azov Battalion and Right Sector flags, the entire march was illuminated with flaming torches, as participants proceeded from the city's Constitution Square to the Cascade Fountain monument, at central Shevchenko Park.

Gender pronoun hysteria hits Oxford University

Oxford University students are being urged to use gender-neutral pronouns such as 'ze' rather than 'he' or 'she' in an attempt to reduce the risk of offending transgender people.

Guidance in a students' union leaflet being handed out around campus advises against the use of terms that suggest there are only two genders, the Times reports.

"The issue isn't about being PC. It's about respecting people's right to define themselves as neither male nor female," equal rights campaigner Peter Tatchell told the Times.

It is hoped the term 'ze' will filter into university lectures and seminars.

According to Oxford University's behavior code, repeated use of the wrong pronoun to define a transgender person is an offence.

It states behavior which "may amount to harassment" includes "deliberately using the wrong name or pronoun in relation to a transgender person, or persistently referring to their gender identity history."

Comment: That may be true but it is wholly illogical to restructure an entire society based upon the personal beliefs of a small minority.

Homeless people are facing increasingly hostile streets as more rough sleepers find their nights disturbed by "deliberate noise pollution" and "defensive architecture," as well as attempts to spray them with water as they sleep.

Crisis, a homelessness charity, said 20 percent of those it surveyed claimed to experience deliberate attempts to disturb their sleep and force them away from public spaces.

Respondents to the survey said these measures included playing loud music, bird song and traffic noise from speakers, as well as metal spikes embedded into infrastructure.

John, one of 458 people Crisis spoke to who were sleeping rough or have slept rough in the last year, said he has experienced noise pollution in a tunnel that prevented him sleeping there.

Hate crime: California church vandalized with swastikas

A Korean Presbyterian church in the city of Buena Park, California has been vandalized with swastikas and German phrases in an apparent hate crime.

On Saturday morning members of the True Light Christian Church arrived at their place of worship to find that vandals had tagged the building with nazi symbols and other messages such as "toxic love" and "my honor" written in German. Police were called to the church and they are investigating the vandalism as a possible hate crime.

Speaking to local news Buena Park police Sgt. Mike Lovchik said "unknown suspects had used spray paint to deface an outside wall with swastikas and other markings ... there is no indication as to why this location was targeted, but based on the nature of the vandalism and the proximity to the church, this is being investigated as a possible hate crime."

The church had previously been targeted by similar acts of vandalism with member Peter Lee telling The Orange County Register that they have already spent over $1,000 cleaning up after similar acts this year. However Lee said this latest attack represents a new low: "that's just not a pretty sight to see," he said. The investigation is ongoing.

Where have all the flowers (and the Peace Movement) gone?

Love or hate the Hippie era, it was definitely different, and it heralded the beginning of a new type of awakening in the West, and this time the awakening was not against the Western Church(es), but against the establishment.

It is not by accident that this movement climaxed when the Vietnam War reached its zenith, and the more Johnson and later on Nixon intensified the US-led attack on Vietnam, the louder and the more vehement Western youth grew in pronouncing their outrage about the actions of their governments.

The rebels who were seen by the upper crust as bearded, greasy, dope-smoking, LSD-using, promiscuous bunch of young boys and girls of California were not alone. They were joined by a world-wide movement. When Mohamed Ali refused to fight in Vietnam, he became an instant hero and an inspiration for other celebrities of influence. Bolstered by the horror of war and domestic American tragedies such as the assassination of Dr. King, the rise of the Black Rights Movement, and of course pop culture where former Beatle John Lennon played a big role and his song "Imagine" was transformed into a de-facto peace manifesto and the song "Give Peace A Chance" became like an anthem the youth sang in groups of tens of thousands marching the streets of major Western cities demanding peace.

Regulation Nation: How the government mandates helplessness

These days, you need permission from the government to do just about anything, including feeding yourself or others.
  • Do you own a car? Every year, you must go down to the DMV and pay the government for permission to drive it.
  • Do you own a business? You must register it and pay an annual fee to operate it.
  • Do you want to renovate your home? You must pay the government to come and tell you if you're allowed to, how you are allowed to, and to check it afterward to make sure you complied with all of their rules.
  • Do you want to swap your homemade goodies for someone else's homemade goodies? You're supposed to get permission from the government to do it, and they'd also like you to pay them taxes on the transaction.
  • Do you want to educate your children at home? In some states, you have to pay for permission to do that. You still have to pay taxes to support your local school, mind you, but you'll need a "permit" on top of it.
  • Do you want to hunt or fish to supplement your food budget? You're supposed to go get a license to do that, too.
  • Do you want to go off the grid? If you're even allowed to, you'll have to get a permit and an inspection.
The government is aware of their own pending obsolescence and that's why they're so desperate to regulate every darned thing. Oh - and the money - they make a ton of money from forcing you to purchase permission to live your life.

Every time someone pops up and does something independently, the government says, "Oh, no. All things must come from us, your benefactors."

British neo-Nazi group National Action is set to become the first ever in the UK to be put on a list of terrorist organizations and face a full ban, British media reported, citing government sources. The move is allegedly a result of the group's support for the murderer of MP Jo Cox.

An order banning the organization is due to be laid out before parliament tomorrow and the final decision is to be expected by the end of the week, according to The Sunday Times.

Authorities have learned "deeply disturbing information" about National Action's activities, a source told Sunday Mirror. The neo-Nazi group "crossed the line and glorified terrorism," a senior government source told The Sunday Times.

Breaking down the illusion surrounding the United States

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” ~Albert Einstein
Life is the greatest gift in the known universe. It is incredibly precious, vastly diverse in its scope, and without judgement or prejudice, it just happens. One does not have to possess any specific talent, live any particular lifestyle, or be any one person in order to enjoy it in its enormity. In fact, the profound beauty in life does not come through force or will, but instead through surrender to the natural flow.

However, today's world has become increasingly complex. Social forces mold individuals into thinking, behaving, and believing in a way that benefits the consumer driven society; essentially telling the child, "you can be whatever you want to be" "as long as you do what you're told." They are told this is "real," that this is the way life is supposed to be, yet all can agree that something isn't quite right in society today.

So much for tolerance: Liberal New Yorkers are piling the hate on Trump's family

Protesters in the city may chant, "Love trumps hate," but that's not stopping some from piling on Donald Trump's family.

"You can't be a Trump supporter in the city," an old Buckley School classmate of Donald Jr. admitted to The Post.

"I wanted to throw a fund-raiser for [the elder Trump last spring], and my fiancée was like, 'Don't you dare! You'll never get one ounce of business again in this town,' " said the classmate, who has his own hedge fund.

Ever since the president-elect's win in November, his family's life in the Big Apple has been turned upside down. With 78.5 percent of city voters casting their ballot for Hillary Clinton, liberal New Yorkers are still waging an anti-Trump campaign — often aimed at his three oldest children, Donald Jr., 38, Ivanka, 35, and Eric, 32, all born and raised in Manhattan.

So what's it like when your hometown — supposedly the most tolerant city in the nation — turns intolerant toward you?

Resistance won't stop, and starting Jan. 2, dissatisfied investors will have the option of pulling out of the controversial, money-losing project.

Another victory came for demonstrators against the Dakota Access pipeline this Friday when a federal judge denied the company's request to force the federal government to approve the controversial 1,172-mile pipeline's final easement.

But while U.S. District Judge James Boasberg denied Energy Transfer Partners any help in overturning the Army Corps of Engineer's decision to halt construction, he left the door open for revisiting the issue next year.
