2016. X. 29. Vulkánborokat a magyar borstratégiának! (Forrás: Somlói): http://tinyurl.com/hz6ak5f
2016. X. 27. Igen, ha ez így megy tovább, mi maradunk meg német hírvivőnek… mi, magyarországi németek – svábok, zipserek, szászok. Mi maradunk meg német anyanyelvű kereszténynek, mi énekelhetjük csak szabadon az Andachtsjodler-t a templomokban, az Engel auf den Feldern singen-t tiltások nélkül, mert nekünk még lesz Karácsonyunk. S mi mondhatjuk el utódainknak, hogy volt egy méltán büszke nemzet Európában, amelyet elárultak saját vezetői és kiszolgáltatták egy primitív, gyilkos, hazug pogány hordának. És elmondhatjuk utódainknak, hogy bár próbálkoztak az Európát megsemmisítők a keresztény Magyarország elpusztításával is, de néhány gyalázatos árulón kívül, a magyar hon fiai nem támogatták a pusztítást, s így mi is megmaradhattunk bajornak, németnek, kereszténynek a Kárpátok Istentől áldott gyűrűjében… s azok is megmaradtak, akik idemenekültek, látva otthon a német nép szándékos pusztulását. Fáj a lelkem, az egykor keresztény Németországért, a megalázott német nemzetért, a terror és az árulás áldozataiért. Mint a székely embernek fájna, ha ezt látná Magyarországgal megtörténni. Reményem azért hadd legyen… hadd mondjam bízva, hadd kiáltsam Isten irgalmába Bajorországot, amelynek népe megvédte a keresztet az iskola falán, a kórházak kórtermeiben, a parlamentben, megtöltötte a templomait, és hűséges maradt Istenhez, a parancsokhoz, amely pápát adott a világnak, aki évekkel ezelőtt figyelmeztetett a gyilkos pogány-veszélyre. Hadd kérjem Istent, hogy hagyjon nekünk, magyarországi sváboknak egy zsebkendőnyi Anyaországot, ahol büszkén elmondhatjuk majd milyen áldozatot vállalt a magyar nemzet az európai kereszténységért, megvédve mindazokat – a történelemben nem először –, akik menedéket kerestek és kaptak Mária országában – a Kárpát-hazában.

2016. X. 24. A Jobbik (van még olyan?) házi lapja, az Alfahír nagyjából tizenegy hónappal ezelőtt ezt írta : „Na, most mennyire lesz tökös a Fidesz? – A Jobbik ügydöntő népszavazást akar a betelepítés ellen. A Jobbik magasabbra teszi a kerítéslécet, így kiderülhet, hogy tökös vagy löttyedt narancs lesz a Fidesz. A legnagyobb ellenzéki párt alkotmánymódosítást, majd ügydöntő népszavazást kezdeményez az idegenek letelepítése ellen. Hogy Magyarország lakossága eldönthesse, kikkel kíván együtt élni. Innen indult tehát az „elnök úr”, aki adja-veszi a párt lelkét. Onnan indultak, hogy a Fidesz 'fájdalomcsillapítónak szánt aláírásgyűjtése helyett' ők ügydöntő népszavazást követeltek. Mondom: tizenegy hónappal ezelőtt! Majd jött a hideg tél, nagy szakállú Mikulás, csilingelő Jézuska (nem emlékszem már, hogy ezen a karácsonyon állítgattak-e még kereszteket frusztrált kretének), és mire kitavaszodott, odalett a népszavazás akarása, elpárolgott a szándék, „hogy a Jobbik kellő legitimitással a háta mögött kimehessen Brüsszelbe, ott letehesse a több millió elutasítást az asztalra és ennek birtokában új és tisztességes feltételeket harcoljon ki a magyar emberek életét megbénító brüsszeli diktátumokkal szemben. A bolondos, szeszélyes április ezt hozta: „Népszavazás helyett alkotmánymódosítást kezdeményez kvótaügyben a Jobbik." Ami kimondaná, hogy Magyarország nem kér semmilyen, az ország határain kívül meghatározott betelepítési kvótából. 'Azt írnák alkotmányba, amiről a Fidesz népszavazást akar' – tette világossá a párt álláspontját az elnök. Ezzel, a Jobbik érvelése szerint, okafogyottá válna a népszavazás, ami egyébként is lassan, hónapok alatt vezetne csak eredményre, ráadásul még drága is. Vona szerint 'nincs érv amellett, hogy a Fidesz ne támogassa saját kérdését. Ha nem támogatják a módosítást, abból látszik, hogy csak politikai eszközként tekintenek rá.” Így számolt be 2016. április 12-én, vagyis szinte napra pontosan öt hónappal a népszavazás nagy akarása után a Jobbik új és természetesen ismét nagyon nagy elszánással, komoly, a hazáért aggódó arccal előadott színielőadásáról a 444.hu. A 888.hu pedig a kormányzat álláspontját foglalta össze a Jobbik ezredik pálfordulásáról. (Forrás: MagyarHírlap)

2016. X. 26. Levélben kérte Kövér, a Magyar Polgári Párt (MPP) tiszteletbeli elnöki tisztségét is betöltő parlamenti elnök a Székely Nemzeti Tanácsot (SZNT), hogy mozgósítsa a romániai parlamenti választásokon való részvételre Székelyföld népét, és biztassa arra, hogy szavazzanak a Romániai Magyar Demokrata Szövetség (RMDSZ) és a MPP együttműködésén alapuló magyar képviseletre. Levelét a Székely Nemzeti Tanács éves küldöttgyűlésén Farkas csíkszeredai konzul olvasta fel Marosvásárhelyen. Kövér levelében úgy vélekedett, hogy a székelyföldi területi autonómia és a román nép által az 1918-as gyulafehérvári nyilatkozatban megígért teljes nemzeti szabadság "lenne az orvosság" a Romániában felhalmozódott magyar vonatkozású bajokra. „Akik ma különféle bukaresti és brüsszeli intézményekben veszélyforrásként tekintenek a székely autonómia iránti jogotokra, azoknak a saját önrendelkezési jogára szintén veszélyek leselkednek, csak még nem biztos, hogy tudnak róla" - fogalmazott a házelnök. Az SZNT küldöttgyűlése állásfoglalásban rögzítette a választásokra vonatkozó álláspontját: magát a székelység közképviseletének tekinti, és ennek megfelelően nem vesz részt a választásokon, és nem jegyezteti be magát politikai alakulatként. Természetesnek tartja ugyanakkor, hogy képviselői lelkiismeretük szerint induljanak a választásokon pártjaik színeiben vagy akár függetlenként. Az állásfoglalás szerint az SZNT képviselői - ha elindulnak a választásokon - nem várhatnak támogatást az SZNT-től, "amint egyetlen parlamenti képviselő sem várhatja el azt, hogy maga a parlament támogassa őket a választásokon". Állásfoglalása végén a tanács azzal a kéréssel fordult a székely közösséghez, hogy "olyan képviselőket válasszanak, akik elkötelezettek Székelyföld autonómiája iránt, és hajlandók is cselekedni érte".

Bosnia and Herzegovina
Oct 26, 2016 Town in the heart of Europe where only Arabic can be spoken, Arabs can live, Arabs are allowed and most of the houses contain the third or fourth wives of wealthy sheikhs. The complex is surrounded by heavy security, gates and high walls and the locals think it is unlawful for foreigners to buy up part of the country and then ban them from entering. Investors from the Middle East built the 160-home luxury estate near Tarcin, which is close to the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo. The homes, which are being marketed in Kuwait, are being sold for L133,000. The news of the Arabic village follows on from revelations last year that islamic state militants had established a stronghold in a picturesque village in mainland Europe where everyone is "ready to respond to the summons to jihad." Land in Osve, Bosnia and Herzegovina, was being bought by isis fighters and security services believe the area is used to train terrorists. More than 300 Bosnians have joined the isis in Iraq and Syria. (Source: Express)
Estonia
Oct 31, 2016 Spooked by Russia, tiny Estonia trains a nation of insurgents. Estonia, a NATO member with a population of 1.3 million people and a standing army of about 6,000, would not stand a chance in a conventional war with Russia. Since the Ukraine war, Estonia has stepped up training for members of the Estonian Defense League, teaching them how to become insurgents, right down to the making of improvised explosive devices, or I.E.D.s, the weapons that plagued the American military in Iraq and Afghanistan. Another response to tensions with Russia is the expansion of a program encouraging Estonians to keep firearms in their homes. Of the top four nations in the world for private gun ownership — the United States, Yemen, Switzerland and Finland — the No. 3 and 4 spots belong to small nations with a minutemen-style civilian call-up as a defense strategy or with a history of partisan war.

Montenegro
Oct 31, 2016 (Monday) NATO is holding an emergency exercise drill in Montenegro while Russian troops will participate in a war game in Serbia as the two Balkan neighbors seem to be heading in different directions strategically. The five-day drill in Montenegro includes fighting floods and chemical attacks. It will involve 680 unarmed personnel from seven NATO countries and 10 partner states. The 13-day armed exercise in Serbia, dubbed "The Slavic Brotherhood 2016," will include 150 Russian paratroopers, 50 air force staffers, 3 transport planes and an unspecified number of troops from Serbia and Belarus. Since the split, Montenegro has pursued pro-Western policies, while Serbia has been struggling to wrestle away from the Moscow grip. Montenegro has been invited to join NATO, despite strong opposition from Russia. Serbia is under strong pressure from the Kremlin not to join the Western military alliance or the European Union. Serbia, a NATO partner, has held exercises with the Western alliance, but not such a large one or with foreign troops and equipment participating on its soil. Montenegrin officials have accused Russia of standing behind an alleged coup on election day earlier in October to topple the pro-Western government because of its NATO bid. Some 20 Serbian citizens were arrested in Montenegro during the vote, suspected of trying to stage the coup, while Serbian authorities reportedly deported an unspecified number of Russian operatives from their territory.

Russia
27th of October 2016 Russian soldiers prepare for nuclear war during drill involving 40 million people. The four-day test saw emergency services practice how to deal with casualties in the event of an atomic strike. Russia unveiled its Satan II rocket recently. The weapon possesses enough firepower to decimate an area the size of France or Texas. That follows the deployment of nuclear-capable Iskander rockets being sent to the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad. It has also sent nuclear-ready Iskander missiles to the enclave of Kaliningrad on the border with Poland. Only last week Russia sent its ageing North Fleet through the English Channel on the way to Syria's Mediterranean Sea coast. NATO responded by announcing the deployment of its armed forces to nations bordering Russia. Britain will send fighter jets to Romania. While the US has pledged to send tanks and soldiers to Poland.

26 Oct. 2016 Russian strategic missile troops reportedly launched an RS-18 ballistic missile. The test was conducted at midday from a site near the town of Yasny, Orenburg region, in the southern Urals, and the warhead reached the Kura test range in Kamchatka in Russia’s Far East. A select few countries are currently developing the technology. The US has the HTV-2, a device developed by DARPA that has two partially successful tests under its belt. The Chinese warhead using the same technology is called DF-ZF, with Beijing first confirming a test in 2014. India is also studying hypersonic flight technology, but unlike Russia, the US and China, it is reportedly not developing a strategic missile warhead. An HGV can maneuver during the approach to a target at high speed, making interception significantly harder. Object 4202 is reportedly meant to be used with Russia’s next-gen heavy strategic missile the RS-28 Sarmat. (Source: RT)

The restoration project is expected to be completed around March 2017, in time for Easter, and the site has remained open to visitors for nearly the entire time, although the ornate edicule has been surrounded by scaffolding. The work is being funded by the three main Christian denominations of the Holy Sepulchre -- Greek Orthodox, Franciscans and Armenians -- and by public and private contributions. (Source: Yahoo)
Syria
October 26, 2016 After the failure of the West’s democracy-building efforts in Iraq and the disappointment of the Arab Spring, the Kurdish achievement is unique. It holds the potential to become a viable, America-friendly society - one that can serve as an exemplar of indigenous Middle Eastern, secular, democratic, feminist values, at a time when even those states in the region founded on similar principles are moving in the opposite direction. But that prospect now teeters on a knife’s edge. Society in Rojava is defined by the principles of democratic confederalism as established by the Democratic Union Party (PYD), now the largest constituent in a governing coalition titled the Movement for a Democratic Society (TEV-DEM). Power is as decentralized as possible, rising up from village assemblies and communes to the legislative councils and commissions that run the economy, defense, and justice ministries. At all levels, the ethnic and gender balance is zealously asserted. Arabs, Yazidis, and Turkmen participate in the public sphere alongside the Kurdish majority, while the mantra of Rojava as a whole is “Jin, Jiyan, Azadi” (“Woman, Life, Freedom”). Historically, the closest parallel to a working model of this system might be the anarchist collectives that briefly arose in Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War. But Rojava has American roots. The subdivision of power “down through all its subordinations” was the ideal form of government envisaged by Jefferson, and more recently by Brooklyn-based political philosopher Bookchin. Through Bookchin, it was introduced to Ocalan, the ideological architect of Kurdish identity. Despite - or because of - the fact that he is currently incarcerated in a maximum-security Turkish prison after being convicted of treason for his role in co-founding the militant Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK), Ocalan is the ultimate authority in Rojava. His people will fight - and die - for his vision. U.S. intervention is not a substitute for the self-determination of a people. Complying with the brutal dictates of great-power geopolitics, Washington has signed off on Turkish intervention in Syria with the intent of preventing the Kurds from uniting the cantons of Rojava into a contiguous territory. The Kurds have emphasized that they do not seek to redraw the map in pursuit of their social objectives. Their statement of political intent has mandated: “The creation of a federal and democratic system shall take place within a sovereign Syria.” The emphasis is on balance. “We don’t support the partition of Syria. … At the same time, we don’t accept centralization,” but aspire to “a democratic Syria that protects the autonomy and freedom of every community,” TEV-DEM spokesperson Xelil told. We believe the best option is federation,” Rojava’s foreign minister explained. “We hope that in the future Syria can declare [a] confederation with other countries because in our project we want to open borders to all the world, not create new borders.” Even if the Kurds themselves cannot dictate an end to the war, they believe their battlefield prowess has given them effective veto power over the terms of any negotiated settlement. America could endorse this position and, crucially, so could Russia. If Putin is satisfied with Syria retaining de jure territorial sovereignty in order to resolve the crisis, his Ba’athist clients in Damascus would have no choice but to accept de facto Kurdish autonomy. The real problem from a diplomatic standpoint would be the response of the surrounding states, Turkey, Iraq, and Iran. The Pentagon is leaning on the White House to directly arm the SDF, and Defense Secretary Carter has affirmed the United States will “support whatever is required to help them move in the direction of Raqqa. Compared to the rest of the Levant, Rojava is already a veritable nirvana. The longer it is isolated the greater the risk of enabling authoritarian tendencies. (Source: DefenseOne)

Oct 31, 2016 For much of the summer, the F.B.I. pursued a widening investigation into a Russian role in the American presidential campaign. Agents scrutinized advisers close to Trump, looked for financial connections with Russian financial figures, searched for those involved in hacking the computers of Democrats, and even chased a lead - which they ultimately came to doubt - about a possible secret channel of email communication from the Trump Organization to a Russian bank. Law enforcement officials say that none of the investigations so far have found any conclusive or direct link between Mr. Trump and the Russian government. The F.B.I.’s inquiries into Russia’s possible role continue, as does the investigation into the emails involving Mrs. Clinton’s top aide, Abedin, on a computer she shared with her estranged husband, Weiner.

Oct 31, 2016 Hillary's Watergate? By Oct. 31, new problems had arisen, some potentially crippling or possibly lethal to a Clinton presidency. Reporters have unearthed a near-mutiny inside the FBI over the decision to shut down the investigation of the Clinton email scandal and Comey’s recommendation of no prosecution. McCabe, No. 2 at the FBI, has come under anonymous fire from inside the bureau as one of those most reluctant to pursue aggressively any investigations of the Clintons. McCabe’s wife, in a 2015 state senate race in Virginia, received $475,000 in PAC contributions from Virginia Gov. McAuliffe, a longtime friend and major fundraiser for Bill and Mrs. Clinton. After the Senate race McCabe’s wife lost, he was promoted from No. 3 at the FBI to No. 2, where he has far more influence over decisions to investigate and recommend prosecution. In the Southern District of New York, which has jurisdiction over the Weiner sexting investigation, FBI agents have reportedly been blocked from opening an investigation into charges of corruption in the Clinton Foundation. The stench of corruption is reaching Bhopal dimensions. What appears about to happen seems inevitable and predictable. If Mrs. Clinton is elected, the email scandal, the pay-for-play scandal involving the Clinton Foundation, “Bill Clinton Inc.,” the truthfulness of her testimony and reports of Clinton-paid dirty tricksters engaging in brownshirt tactics at Trump rallies are all going to be investigated more thoroughly by the FBI. And if Clinton is president, there is no way her Justice Department can investigate the Clinton scandals, any more than this city in the early 1970s would entrust an investigation into Watergate to the Nixon Justice Department. If Clinton wins this election, and Republicans hold onto one or both houses of Congress, investigations of the Clinton scandals will start soon after her inaugural and will go on for years. And the clamor for a special prosecutor, who will, as Cox did with Nixon, build a huge staff and spend years investigating, will become irresistible. Realizing that this is the near-certain fate and future of any Mrs. Clinton presidency, and would be disastrous for the country. (Source: wnd)

Hillary wants to blame everyone else for her mounting legal troubles. But she has brought all of this on herself. Hillary is the one who set up an illegal private e-mail server in a closet to shield herself from her illegal activities. Hillary is the one who engaged in a pay-for-play scheme at the State Department. Now there are five FBI probes into the Clinton Foundation and their pay-for-play activities. Very, very deep investigations. Hillary is the one who sent and received classified information on an unsecure server, putting the safety of the American people under threat. That's what she did... 650,000 emails. You know what I call that? That's the motherlode. I think you will find the 33,000 that are missing, the 15,000 that are missing, the facts that are missing. Hillary is the one who lied to Congress under oath. Hillary is the one who lied on so many different occasions to the FBI. And they know, they know. They know Hillary is the one who made 13 phones disappear. Some with a hammer. Hillary is the one who destroyed 33,000 e-mails, after she got the subpoena. After. Hillary is not the victim.

27 October 2016 Scientists in the US discover elixir of youth – for mice – and begin tests on humans. Compound found in avocado, broccoli and cucumber. The researchers began investigating the properties of a protein called NAD, which is involved in energy production in the body found in cabbage and edamame. As animals get older, they produce less NAD and it is thought this is a part of the ageing process. Lead researcher is Professor Imai, of Washington University in St Louis. The clinical trials with human subjects are underway in Japan. NAD might also give an energy boost to cancer cells. Some tumour cells are known to have a higher capability to synthesise NAD. "But we have not seen any differences in cancer rates between the groups [of mice].” - Professor Imai said. "We suspect that the increase in inflammation that happens with ageing reduces the body's ability to make NMN and, by extension, NAD.” (Source: TheIndependent).
24 Oct 2016 A March 2016 email published by the organization Wikileaks reveals that Soros, in anticipation of a meeting with Clinton campaign chairman Podesta, requested Podesta read a memo accusing President Obama of emboldening radical Islam in Malaysia in order to get the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement (TPP) passed. The memo appears to have been authored by Pang, a board member at Soros’ Open Society Foundation. Pang writes that Najib is “a poster boy for the 21st century kleptocracy” who has used “a racial supremacist ideology that is collapsing under the weight of corruption” to perpetuate himself in power. Najib has created “a Malay-Islamic state in which Sunni Islam’s supremacy is indivisible from the political and legal supremacy of the Malay race.” The result is a country in which “1 in 10 Muslims there had favorable views of isis and that a 53% majority were in favor of implementing Hudud, the Islamic penal code.” Thousands of its citizens leave Malaysia to join the islamic state in Iraq and Syria. The first successful islamic state attack in Malaysia occurred in July 2016, and targeted a Cuban nightclub. (Source: Breitbart): http://tinyurl.com/h9ugxh2

2016. X. Az amerikai választási kampány hozadéka, hogy az elesett fehérekre megint odafigyelnek, kikérik a véleményüket, ahogy ez félévszázaddal ezelőtt a fekete lumpenréteggel történt. Hirtelen felfedezik, hogy az Appalache hegység bányászainak, a virginiai dohánytermesztőknek, és mindazoknak akiknek szakmát kellett váltaniuk, és most az eredeti bérük alig harmadáért biztonsági őrként dolgoznak a Walmartban, nem csak az életszínvonala, de a várható élettartama is drasztikusan csökken. (A nem diplomás fehérek várható élettartama ma már tizenhárom évvel alacsonyabb, mint a diplomás fehéreké.) Hirtelen felfedezik, hogy ma már nem csak a fekete gettókban vannak zálogházak, hogy fiatal egyedülálló anyák kizárólag szociális ellátásból élnek, hogy magas az elhízottak és a kábítószerezők aránya. Ezeknek az elesett embereknek Clinton asszony, a washingtoni politikai normák hűséges szolgája, nem tűnik nyerő aduásznak. Vajon mire hasonlít majd „posztipari” jövőjük, amikor már majdnem minden szénbányát bezárnak, amikor a taxi- és kamionsofőrök helyett a Google vezet majd a közlekedésben, amikor a pénztárosnők helyett szkennerek, a munkások helyett robotok állnak majd be dolgozni. Mindenki programozó lesz, vagy felszolgáló? Esetleg önfoglalkoztató, aki házhoz szállítja a telefonos applikáción megrendelhető készételeket? Vagy szobát adnak ki turistáknak, kertészkednek, netán elmennek ápolónőnek? Clinton asszonynak ezekre az aggodalmakra nincs válasza. Valószínű, hogy ezeket a változásokat a fejlődés részének értékeli. Trump viszont beszél ezekről és szól azokhoz is, akiket elijeszt a republikánus jelölt brutális természete és politikai tapasztalatlansága. „Mit veszíthettek?” − kérdezi Trump. Csal a rendszert vagy sem, hamarosan megtudjuk. Mint ahogy azt is: megengedi-e a törékennyé vált amerikai rendszer egy ilyen ember győzelmét? De ha az elkövetkező hetekben elég lenne egy merénylet, egy nagyon gyenge TV szereplés, vagy egy kompromittáló mail üzenet ahhoz, hogy Clinton asszonyt kirekessze a Fehér Házból, akkor bebizonyosodna, hogy a neoliberális politika hívei messze nem az erőszakos jobboldal hatékony legyőzését tűzték ki célul, hanem épp ez vált a fő fegyverükké.

((October, 2016)) Evidence-based climate science. Data opposing CO2 emissions as the primary source of global warming - ((Russian astrophysicist Abdussamatov wrote)). ((Book)) Abstrct: Since 1990, the Sun has been in the declining phase of the quasi-bicentennial variation in total solar irradiance (TSI). The decrease in the portion of TSI absorbed by the Earth since 1990 has remained uncompensated by the Earth's long-wave radiation into space at the previous high level because of the thermal inertia of the world's oceans. As a result, the Earth has, and will continue to have, a negative average annual energy balance and a long-term adverse thermal condition. The quasi-centennial epoch of the new Little Ice Age has started at the end 2015 after the maximum phase of solar cycle 24. The start of a solar grand minimum is anticipated in solar cycle 27 ± 1 in 2043 ± 11 and the beginning of phase of deep cooling in the new Little Ice Age in 2060 ± 11. The gradual weakening of the Gulf Stream leads to stronger cooling in the zone of its action in western Europe and the eastern parts of the United States and Canada. Quasi-bicentennial cyclic variations of TSI together with successive very important influences of the causal feedback effects are the main fundamental causes of corresponding alternations in climate variation from warming to the Little Ice Age.
