    Austria

    https://rt.com/news/562579-vienna-an...rnment-protest

    Rising prices see Austrians take to the streets

    Activists gather in the capital, Vienna, to protest against surging prices and anti-Russia sanctions




    Thousands of people poured onto the streets of Vienna on Saturday, protesting against the soaring cost of living, with many denouncing the Austrian government and the “globalist agenda.

    An estimated 3,000 people took part in the rally, as reported by the Heute newspaper, citing the city police force. Another gathering, dubbed the “patriots’ march,” also took place in downtown Vienna. There was a heavy security presence along the routes, and both events passed without incident.



    The protesters accused the Austrian government of failing its own people and working in the interests of “globalists.” Some activists denounced mandatory Covid-19 vaccinations, but the dominant theme on Saturday was skyrocketing energy prices, and the inflationary crisis.

    Protesters called for the lifting of “suicide-sanctions” – an apparent reference to the punitive measures imposed on Russia in the wake of its military operation in Ukraine. Others denounced “NATO’s warmongering,” and a perceived push for militarization in Europe in general.

    The activists went on to commemorate the “victims of vaccination” during both rallies.

    Last Saturday, some 70,000 turned out for a march in the Czech capital, Prague. Demonstrators demanded that the government secure direct contracts with gas suppliers, including Russia, to get ballooning energy prices down. They also called for the Czech Republic to become militarily neutral, and denounced NATO and the EU.

    Quote Royals of the Netherlands booed by the Dutch people in Den Haag. Some have turned their backs as the royal carriage passes.

    The Dutch rise up. Insults, shouts, whistles, howls, overturned flags and people turning their backs as the royal carriage passes through Den Haag. Embarrassed journalists can't find the words to describe what happened.

    Ursula von der Leyden issues a thinly veiled threat to Italy about 'voting the right way' or get funding cuts. It's gone down like a lead balloon with even a pro-EU candidate telling her to butt out.

    Knowing the Italian people as I do - seriously bad move, Ursula.

    Tom Luongo does a great job addressing this today - one of my favorite commenters on world events

    https://tomluongo.me/2022/09/23/as-d...-are-revealed/


    As Democracy Dies in the EU, Von der Leyen Reveals its Sins



    t’s no secret at this point that the EU is an anti-democratic organization. The leadership isn’t elected, but selected from a pre-determined pool of candidates from within the Party structure.

    Everyone with the power to make a decision was placed there not by popular vote but by backroom collusion.

    As we approach this weekend’s Italian elections there is real despair in the air that there is any light out of this dark time. That no matter what decisions we try to make, they are only in service of those that seek total dominion.

    And yet all you hear from these Eurocrats is that we are in a “war of Democracy versus Autocracy,” as EU Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen put it in her hellish EU state of the union address to the European Parliament recently.

    Cloaking herself in the inverse of the EU flag’s colors to show solidarity with another anti-democratic regime, Ukraine, Von der Leyen and her merry tribe of vandals in Brussels cast themselves as the protectors of the sacred right of a ‘democracy’ they deny to anyone who disagrees with her.

    The same can be said for nearly every major government in Europe. Every time an ‘election’ rolls around the local system is gamed to ensure a particular outcome. The political establishment always coalesces around maintaining the status quo, freezing out any possibility of an ‘unworkable’ or ‘representative’ coalition.

    Any outcome they can’t overcome that lies outside the scope of the EU’s values is either laden with poison pills, immediately put under pressure by the EU’s Byzantine rules, and eventually forced out of office.

    There is no better example of this anti-democratic structure made flesh than Italy.

    For more than a decade Italians have been saddled with mostly-unelected technocratic governments who, at best, stymie any populist/sovereigntist impulses within Italy’s electorate or, at worst, advance the EU’s centralization agenda under the false rubrics of Climate Change and “European Values.”

    European Values is a phrase that is synonymous with the phrase “rules-based order.” We make the rules, they say, and you abide by them. We’re allowed to break those rules because 1) we can and 2) we are the goodies.

    So, it shouldn’t be a surprise that as the Italians go to the polls this weekend with the center-right coalition led by the Brothers of Italy (FdI) likely to win a major, uncontestable victory, the unelected, openly totalitarian President of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, openly threaten Italians to ‘vote right’ or face her wrath.

    I’ll be honest. Seeing that threat issued towards inherently disagreeable Italians coming from a German bureaucrat will not go as she thinks it will.

    When you run out of the power to persuade people the only things left is threats (no matter how empty) and subterfuge. Italy has been trended towards this moment for over a decade and to this point subterfuge has worked particularly well for the EU.

    Now it’s down to open threats and ‘consequences.’

    Ask Hungary about those ‘consequences.’ The EU parliament this week exercised its only real power, wagging their finger sternly at a member who doesn’t represent the majority’s conception of ‘European Values’ by declaring the democratically-elected (by a landslide) government of Viktor Orban is ‘not a democracy.’

    Orwell’s O’Brien would be proud.

    This declaration means they have the ability to withhold shared EU development funds from Hungary.

    This is called ‘blackmail’ in common parlance.

    Moments like this always invoke the great Lew Rockwell reminding us that the government engages in behavior decent people would be ashamed of. It’s more of the “rules-based order” I keep hearing so much about, I guess.

    The rough translation to all of these issues is “rules for me and not for thee,” the very essence of San Francis’ description of anarcho-tyranny. The EU is truly an anarcho-tyrannical State where words only have the meanings they decide they have.

    And definitions are malleable.

    The goal is to pervert the meanings of words to destroy any concept of meaning itself. Doing that unmoors us from our beliefs, seeing only them as the arbiters of truth.

    Orwell tried to warn us about this 74 years ago. Moreover, it’s the mechanism by which to subvert our common bonds as people and replace them with the State.

    EU Commission President Threatens Italy On Eve Of Election, Says Brussels Has 'Tools' If Wrong Parties Win

    European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is being accused of election interference after threatening to use “tools” if the wrong election result is achieved in Italy’s national elections, set to take place this Sunday, Sept. 25.

    As GMM writes, the eurozone is in trouble with a capital T.

    Giorgia Meloni’s electric performances at political rallies have made her a virtual shoo-in to become Italy’s first female prime minister in Sunday’s ballot. She’ll also be the first to campaign with the flame symbol, evoking the former fascist leader, Benito Mussolini.

    The prospect of a charismatic nationalist taking power with almost no government experience has investors and officials on edge. Italy, of course, is wrestling with the fallout from the most serious conflict in Europe since WWII. But the country has been adrift for years, struggling to hit on a formula which can unlock its potential while staying true to its identity.

    – Bloomberg

    Von der Leyen added that those same tools are already being used against Hungary and Poland.

    “We will see the result of the vote in Italy,” said von der Leyen.

    “If things go in a difficult direction — and I’ve spoken about Hungary and Poland — we have the tools.”

    Von der Leyen made the comment after a journalist at Princeton University in the United States said that there were candidates in the Italian elections “close to Putin” and asked her how the EU would react if they were elected.

    The comments from the EU commission president, arguably the most powerful figure in all of EU institutions, have been met with shock from the Italian political class.

    Von Der Leyen was making a clear reference to the European Commission’s ability to cut funding to member states it views as violating “rule of law,” a powerful tool Brussels can use to punish any democratically-elected government in Europe. Just last week, the commission proposed cutting €7.5 billion in funding to Hungary, with the country’s conservative government having long been a thorn in the side of the EU over its opposition to mass migration and support for traditional values.

    The internet never went down in Iran, there's an Iranian guy who is very active on one of the Telegram channels I'm on, who said it's disinfo. He's never Bs'ed about anything, so I think he's telling the truth.

    one guy said it was disinfo?

    perhaps this MSM link, as well as many others, will indicate the reports were largely true

    Iranians see widespread internet blackout amid mass protests
    By The Associated Press
    September 21, 2022

    DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iranians experienced a near-total internet blackout on Wednesday amid days of mass protests against the government over the death of a woman held by the country’s morality police for allegedly violating its strictly-enforced dress code.

    An Iranian official had earlier hinted that such measures might be taken out of security concerns. The loss of connectivity will make it more difficult for people to organize protests and share information about the government’s rolling crackdown on dissent.


    Iran has seen nationwide protests over the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was detained for allegedly wearing the mandatory Islamic headscarf too loosely. Demonstrators have clashed with police and called for the downfall of the Islamic Republic itself, even as Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi addressed the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday.

    The protests continued for a fifth day on Wednesday, including in the capital, Tehran. Police there fired tear gas at protesters who chanted “death to the dictator,” and “I will kill the one who killed my sister,” according to the semiofficial Fars news agency.

    Iran expands Internet blackout nationwide as Amini protests grow
    Taking mobile connectivity offline across the country


    September 22, 2022 By Sebastian Moss

    The Iranian government has expanded its Internet shutdowns across the country as protests mount over the killing of Mahsa Amini.

    The nation has been gripped by protests after Amini died in custody after being detained by the 'morality police' for allegedly wearing the mandatory Islamic headscarf too loosely.


    The state originally degraded Internet services in major cities and cut off connectivity in Iran's northwestern Kurdish region. But, with protests continuing, it has expanded the blackout further.

    "Iranian mobile carriers down again," Doug Madory, the director of Internet analysis at Kentik, tweeted. Carriers including IranCell, Rightel, and MCI have experienced multi-hour simultaneous outages.

    Before the wider outages, Instagram, and WhatsApp were specifically blocked - most other major social media platforms are permanently blocked, but the two Meta properties are usually allowed to keep operating.

    Ursula von der Leyden issues a thinly veiled threat to Italy about 'voting the right way' or get funding cuts. It's gone down like a lead balloon with even a pro-EU candidate telling her to butt out.

    Knowing the Italian people as I do - seriously bad move, Ursula.

    Yes, bad move.
