Infidel Dog Posted September 26, 2022 Report Posted September 26, 2022 So, did you hear this one? Italy's right wing, led by Meloni, wins election, exit polls say "Far-right leader Giorgia Meloni's electoral alliance appears to hold a wide lead in Italy's national vote. If Meloni becomes premier, she will be the first woman in Italy to hold that office. Her party, with neo-fascist roots, would need to form a coalition with her main allies to command a majority in Parliament." https://ground.news/article/italys-right-wing-led-by-meloni-wins-election-exit-polls-say_aa320a I'm not that up on Giorgia Meloni. Not sure what makes her far-right. Here's her victory speech where she gives her platform: Why is that "far-right." Not too long ago it was mainstream. What exactly is this "far-right" thing of which the stenographers of the 'Powers That Be' taking down copy in their media so often refer to anyway? Quote

The world is topsy-turvy. 5 years ago, if a government had campaigned on removing your right to make your own medical decisions, they would have been called the "extremists." Today, you're an extremist, terrorist, misogynist, racist if you want to decline participating in a medical experiment. 2 years ago, if you had told people that Trudeau would freeze private citizen's bank accounts and Freeland would make that a permanent power of the government, nobody would have voted for him. Fear makes people accept things they wouldn't otherwise. Quote "There are two different types of people in the world - those who want to know and those who want to believe." ~~ Friedrich Nietzsche ~~
Goddess Posted September 26, 2022 Report Posted September 26, 2022 Lots of regime changes in the world right now. If the people could get over their irrational fear of covid, maybe they could think clearer. Something's happening in China right now. Rumors that Xi has been arrested, overthrown......who knows, though. It's China.

Infidel Dog Posted September 26, 2022 Author Report Posted September 26, 2022 Sweden moved right in their election too. Or as the media tells you, "far right." Same thing, it seems, right and far-right depending on the message they want to sell. Quote
Infidel Dog Posted September 26, 2022 Author Report Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) There's a good one HERE on how the media is treating Giorgia Meloni. Most of them seem to be comparing her to Mussolini. The Daily Mail is an exception, so let's look at that one. The others are what you'll be getting from the 5 o'clock liars so you don't need me to find the "far right" claims. " "She questions the power of the European Union, the wisdom of mass immigration and ‘LGBT lobbies’, and has built a powerful personal brand with her carefully crafted image as a down-to-earth, 45-year-old single mother who understands ordinary Italians. "At political rallies, she gives her impassioned hour-long speeches dressed in black trousers that look as if they are from a supermarket rack. Not for her the power-dressing, Prada heels and expensive salon hair-dos favored by the Roman political elite. "In a guttural voice, she tells Italians of her ‘humble’ childhood, of how she was raised by a single mother in a gritty district of Rome after her father abandoned them, leaving her to claw her own way up the slippery pole of Italian politics. And this, she says, has shaped her core beliefs. "‘I want a country where you get ahead, not because of your friends in high places, or the family you were born into, but what you make of yourself’, she says during our interview. "‘The voters like me because they trust me. They know there are no tricks, no lies. I have the courage to say what I believe in. I will do exactly what I promise them. It has been a long walk for me to get this far. But I have never changed my ideals. Other politicians say one thing one day, and two days later say something different with the same face.’" Mussolini had corporate media in his hands. She doesn't. The Daily Mail story also said, "Meloni insists she is not of the far-Right but building up a party similar to the UK’s Tories and the U.S. Republicans. Among her major policies are big cuts on income tax, VAT and business taxes; plus a tough line on illegal immigration, targeting in particular traffickers’ boats coming from Libya to Italy and the granting of automatic citizenship to babies born to foreign parents."

Infidel Dog Posted September 26, 2022 Author Report Posted September 26, 2022 And it isn't just Sweden, Italy, and apparently America moving right. Here's the most recent poll I could find of what's happening in Canada. Quote Since Pierre Poilievre has become more of a common political name for Canadians to recognize, the Conservative Party’s polling numbers have risen, and quickly outpaced Justin Trudeau’s Liberals. The Mainstreet poll has the Conservatives with a commanding lead over the Liberals, with 41 percent of the vote, compared to the Liberals 33 percent, which would put Poilievre in charge of a large majority government if those numbers bore-out in an election. I've seen older ones like this: https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/justin-trudeau-slightly-favoured-over-pierre-poilievre-for-prime-minister-new-poll-1.6075396 But even those were close and Poilievre appeared to be gaining.

Infidel Dog Posted September 27, 2022 Author Report Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) And it's a matter of opinion. I see Macron more as progressive socialist (as in progressing toward socialism,) globalist puppet, Trudeau clone than a champion of the west, myself. But yeah if Giorgia can find a way to negotiate with Putin rather than join in pushing him towards this war the globalists seem to want I'm fine with that. And which of those two options is the real extremist, I wonder. Edited September 27, 2022 by Infidel Dog 1 Quote
Aristides Posted September 27, 2022 Report Posted September 27, 2022 How is she going to negotiate with Putin, will she get him to pull his troops from Ukraine? Quote
Infidel Dog Posted September 27, 2022 Author Report Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) Why do you think she'd have a better chance of negotiating with him if she lined up with the league of enemies looking for a fight with him? Possibly if she is the pal to Putin you as a Progressive would like to present her as but also a member state of the west she could negotiate as a mediator from a place of non-aggression to either side.

Infidel Dog Posted September 27, 2022 Author Report Posted September 27, 2022 Mediating. But this is more interesting... Tucker explains how Giorgia was able to win. Basically she takes the part of the little boy in the story of The Emperor's New Clothes. She dares to discuss what should be obvious: BTW she won a majority. Her populism is mainstream again. Like it was before the Progressive Socialists took control. Doesn't matter if their media calls her extreme. 1 Quote

August1991 Posted September 27, 2022 Report Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) In Russia, people like Tucker Carlson used to exist but they were weird - now they're really weird.
