If Oliver Cromwell were alive today, he would beseech the British people, in the bowels of Christ, to get out of the Fourth Reich while they can still do so peacefully.

What do they know about #Brexit?
Heat Street analyzes the Bilderberg 2016 attendees and notices something of potential significance:
As Heat Street has previously made clear, the secretive Bilderberg Group is rabidly anti-Brexit and ultra pro-EU. This year’s meeting, held in the German city of Dresden between Thursday and Sunday, will be no different.
No Brexiteers have been invited.
Having seen the guest list of the so-called shadow world government, it confirms that the attendees from Britain and Ireland have been campaigning publicly for months to keep Britain IN.
It might mean nothing. But my admittedly uninformed guess is that it means Bilderberg knows that Britain is going to vote for #Brexit, so they are having a strategy session on how to keep Britain in the European Union despite the British people clearly voting to leave it.
The fires rise
Immigration arson comes to Austria:
Arsonists were most likely behind a huge blaze which burnt down a newly-built but still empty refugee centre in northern Austria, police said on Wednesday. Police are now offering a €5,000 reward for information that leads to the seizure of those responsible.
The huge fire broke out in the early hours of Wednesday in the village of Altenfelden and left only charred remains of the building.
No one was harmed in the blaze, which was battled by up to 200 firemen.
“We found two sources along the building’s outer walls… where unknown suspects are thought to have started the fire,” police said in a statement, adding that investigations were ongoing.
The alleged attack happened two weeks before 48 asylum-seekers were due to move in.
Austrian Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka condemned “all forms of violence against refugee centres” while Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz said in a tweet that he was “deeply affected” by the blaze.
The sad thing instead of taking this as the warning it is meant to be, the government is doubling down and the charity Caritas has announced that it will rebuild the refugee center.
Which means that we’re going to see arsonists burning down refugee centers with refugees in them. The “migrant crisis” is now transforming itself into a war of governments and globalists against the nations.
Europe cannot become an Arab country
Thus spake His Holiness the Dalai Lama:
The Dalai Lama says Europe risks losing its identity by taking in too many migrants and warned: ‘Germany cannot become an Arab country.’
Tibet’s spiritual leader says refugees should only stay temporarily and return home to rebuild their countries when the conflicts have ended.
The Dalai Lama, who has himself lived in exile for over half a century, said: ‘When we look into the face of every single refugee, especially the children and women, we can feel their suffering.
‘A human being who is a bit more fortunate has the duty to help them. On the other hand, there are too many now.’
In an interview with German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, he said: ‘Europe, for example Germany, cannot become an Arab country. Germany is Germany.
‘There are so many that in practice it becomes difficult.’
He said ‘from a moral point of view too, I think the refugees should only be admitted temporarily’.
‘The goal should be that they return and help rebuild their countries.’
It’s very sad when the Dalai Lama is a more staunch defender of Christendom than the Pope.
Not for long
The globalist media is celebrating the “thwarting” of Austria’s “Far Right”:
Alexander Van der Bellen has won Austria’s presidential election, preventing Norbert Hofer from becoming the EU’s first far-right head of state.
Mr Hofer led narrowly after Sunday’s election but postal votes gave Mr Van der Bellen victory by 50.3% to 49.7%.
Mr Van der Bellen campaigned on a pro-EU platform backed by the Greens.
Mr Hofer, of the Freedom Party, tapped into anti-EU sentiment and fears about rising numbers of asylum seekers. He conceded victory on his Facebook page.
Mr Hofer, 45, said it was a sad day and that he would have gladly served as president.
“But please don’t be disheartened. The effort in this election campaign is not wasted, but is an investment for the future.”
I think it’s fascinating that they pretend to think Hofer and the Freedom Party are the “Far Right”. They are either being disingenuous or have no idea what is coming. And if they keep stealing elections, as appears to have been the case here, they will render the electoral process entirely irrelevant.
But as I said, it will take two election cycles for the nationalists to gain power. This is still the first. This is the phase in which the mainstream parties band together to maintain the status quo and keep out the nationalists. The next phase is when the nationalists overwhelm the united status quo.
It’s worth noting that the Freedom Party gained 13 points from the first round to the second one, from 36 percent to 49 percent.
Business for #Brexit
320 business leaders sign a letter to the Telegraph:
Britain is the fifth biggest economy in the world and, on current projections, will overtake Germany to become Europe’s powerhouse. Britain is America’s largest inward investor, and our openness and dynamism mean we attract more inward investment than any other European country.
Three of the world’s top 10 universities are British, we speak the international language of business, our legal system is trusted round the world and we have an unrivalled reputation for innovation and creativity.
These are just some of the reasons we believe that Britain is world-class. However, we also believe that Britain’s competitiveness is being undermined by our membership of a failing EU.
Year-on-year the EU buys less from Britain because its economies are stagnant and millions of people are unemployed. According to Mervyn King, the former governor of the Bank of England, the euro “might explode”. Brussels’ red tape stifles every one of Britain’s 5.4 million businesses, even though only a small minority actually trade with the EU.
It is business – not government – which generates wealth for the Treasury and jobs for our communities. Outside the EU, British business will be free to grow faster, expand into new markets and create more jobs. It’s time to vote leave and take back control.
If you’re British, you must seize the opportunity to free yourselves from Eurofascist rule. Seize your national sovereignty and retake control of your own laws. Britain stood alone against a continent occupied by Berlin, and it can stand alone against a continent occupied by Brussels.
Vote Leave.
Big Larry’s European adventure
It sounds like Larry Correia had a blast on his European tour:
Of all the languages, German was by far the easiest to pick up words and phrases for me. Despite being related to Portuguese and Spanish, French sounds totally eluded me. And Czech is HARD (they have like 46 ways to make conjunctions). But German shares a lot of word roots with English, and the actual structure is pretty straight forward. Plus it is fun to just walk around and make up vaguely German sounding names for things, like a pigeon is Das Poopinbirden.
The next day we drove across all of Germany to the Czech Republic, and I got to experience the autobahn, which my whole life has been this sort of mythical place that has no speed limits, and is filled with drivers that understand slow traffic stays right, and where they never camp in the left lane, and in fact, if you’re blocking the left lane, they’ll come right up on your bumper at 100 miles an hour, honking, and flashing their lights. It was a place devoid of mercy, unforgiving of weakness. So we set out.
Apparently there are two kinds of tourist drivers on the autobahn. Those who are weak, fearful, whose crying pillows smell of lilacs and shame, who stay in the truck lane, or who wander out into the left occasionally, timidly, to be honked at and chased aside by awesome Teutonic Super Drivers…
And the other kind is the American who manages to average 180km an hour across all of Germany in a Volvo diesel station wagon.
It was AMAZING. I felt like a race car driver across an entire country. You know why German cars don’t have cup holders? Because if you stop to drink while driving, YOU WILL DIE. And you should. You need to be on. I’d get a gap, jump out to the left, floor it (because fuel economy is for hippies I’m on the mother f’ing autobahn!), and nobody pulls out in front of me in a minivan to enforce their personal speed limit, people ahead of me going slower (like 100mph) immediately get out of the way, and when some bad ass comes up behind me in a super car, I get out of his way, and then they blast past me like I’m standing still.
It was beautiful.
You wouldn’t think a diesel Volvo would be comfy at 112 miles an hour, but it really is. Yes. I friggin’ love the autobahn. If I lived here I would buy a giant BMW or Audi and drive very fast, all the time. Why can’t we have something like this here? I would like to institute autobahn style rules on I-15 in Utah. Sure, a few thousand people would probably die in the first weekend, but after that it would be awesome.
Can confirm. What some might find interesting is that Italy has its own sort of temporary autobahn, which is certain stretches of the autostrada on Sunday mornings from 9-11 AM. Spacebunny and I were driving home from Verona one morning, doing about 100 MPH or so, when I saw a red car coming up VERY FAST from behind.
It turned out to be a Ferrari 456. A few moments later, a tricked-out blue Porsche with a vague resemblance to a 911 flew past as well. My Call of Duty mate, who used to race Formula 2, has friends who drive for Ferrari, and drives an Aston Martin, later told me that there are certain sections of the autostrada that are intentionally left camera-free so that the men with the supercars can let them rip at times when the traffic is light.
European pro tip: if you see silver in the distance behind you, move over without delay. No one in Europe drives faster, or is more likely to ride your bumper, than drivers of silver Mercedes station wagons. My theory is that if you need a station wagon, but insist on spending the money for a high-performance engine, you’re probably a roadway lunatic. I see plenty of nice, big-engined sports cars and sedans cruising along the autostrada at reasonable speeds, but every single Mercedes station wagon driver is flying along at least 20 MPH faster than the flow of traffic, no matter how fast it is, with his left blinker permanently on.
And for some reason that still eludes me, they are always silver.
Larry is right about German being easier for English speakers too. As for French, I honestly found it easier to pick up Japanese. The Italians may speak rapidly and use the same word to describe three completely different concepts, (hence the need for all the gestures) but at least they enunciate.
Nationalism rising fast
This is the first of the two election cycles I predicted beginning. So far, so anticipated:
Austria’s government was licking its wounds after the anti-immigration far-right triumphed in presidential elections, dealing a major blow to a political establishment seen by voters as out of touch and ineffectual.
According to preliminary results, Norbert Hofer of the Freedom party came a clear first with 36% of the vote in the first round of elections for the largely, but not entirely, ceremonial post of head of state.
Candidates from the two ruling centrist parties, which have effectively run Austria since the end of the second world war, failed to even make it into a runoff on 22 May, coming fourth and fifth each with 11% of the vote.
The result means that for the first time since 1945, Austria will not have a president backed by either Chancellor Werner Faymann’s Social Democrats or their centre-right coalition partners, the People’s party.
Having a president in the Habsburg dynasty’s former palace in Vienna not from either of the two main parties could shake up the traditionally staid and consensus-driven world of Austrian politics.
“This is the beginning of a new political era,” the Freedom party leader, Heinz-Christian Strache, said after what constituted the best result at federal level for the former party of the late Joerg Haider, calling it “historic”.
The Oesterreich tabloid described Hofer’s victory as a “tsunami that has turned our political landscape upside down”.
It’s very good news for everyone that the Freedom Party, AfD, the Swedish Democrats, and other nationalist parties are rising fast. At this rate, the nationalists will come to power in the second election cycle, in time to begin the necessary demographic modifications without excessive violence.
The anger is rising
Ron Paul correctly identifies two locuses of European anger at US foreign policy:
The anger is rising and there is no telling where it will end. In June, the United Kingdom will vote on whether to exit the European Union. The campaign for an exit is broad-based, bringing in conservatives, populists, and progressives. Regardless of the outcome, the vote should be considered very important. Europeans are tired of their unelected leaders in Brussels pushing them around and destroying their financial and personal security by following Washington’s foolish interventionism. No one can call any of these recent interventions a success and the Europeans know it.
One way or the other, the US empire is coming to an end. Either the money will go or the allies will go, but it cannot be sustained. The sooner the American people demand an end to these foolish policies the better.
Speaking as someone who is nominally an American living in Europe – although my European friends not infrequently hasten to add that they don’t consider me one any longer – it has been absolutely astonishing to observe the change in European attitudes towards the USA and towards Americans over the last two decades.
When we first arrived here, everyone wanted to visit the USA. Being an American meant you were treated like a minor rock star, particularly if you could speak even a little of the native language. But over the last five years, attitudes have changed dramatically, particularly among the young. Nowadays, one is more likely to meet with narrowed eyes and suspicion than smiles and expressions of admiration.
Europeans know perfectly well who is behind the coups in Ukraine and the Middle East, the banking debacles, and the unelected EU officials in Brussels. And most of them are not particularly pleased with any of these events.
It’s common for Americans to sneer at Europeans and brag about how they had to “defend Europe”. But what history-challenged Americans always seem to forget is that all they were doing was defending one set of Europeans from another. And the two most recent American interventions in Europe have been a) the overthrow of the Ukrainian government and b) preventing the Christian Serbs from defeating the Muslim Bosnians.
Cameron must go
Is it possible David Cameron is a secret Leave? Because short of growing a Hitler stache and dressing in a EU fascist uniform, complete with a blue-and-yellow armband, it’s hard to imagine how David Cameron could more aggressively drive the British people towards #Brexit:
Thousands march on No10 calling for Cameron to quit over tax revelations: Under-fire PM admits ‘I should have handled it better’ and agrees to publish his returns amid Panama Papers scandal
Protesters called for Mr Cameron to resign after he admitted profiting from more than £30k in an offshore tax haven. Revelations about Mr Cameron’s financial affairs followed a leak of 11 million documents held by Mossack Fonseca. PM’s ratings now lower than Jeremy Corbyn with 56% saying they did not think he had been ‘open and transparent’. Speaking at the Tory Spring Conference, Mr Cameron admitted he botched the handling of the row over his finances.
He’s also botched the handling of the most important political decision of his time, which is the recovery of British sovereignty.
Wonderful timing from Wikileaks.
I don’t know if the Prime Minister will resign, but he most certainly should follow the lead of Iceland’s prime minister and do so. He’s a horrendous hypocrite, he’s openly taken sides against the nation he is supposed to govern, and he has zero credibility.
This looks like a Labor protest, but if the Conservatives join them, as they should, Cameron will have no choice but to step down in disgrace. It’s time for Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage to step up and demand his resignation.
