In Milan employees and customers have locked themselves inside shops for fear of an attack by criminals. This is not Italy anymore.

Italy today: no food. This is the situation that has been observed for days in many supermarkets across central and southern Italy, due to an indefinite strike by truck drivers and farmers for price of fuel. They can not make ends meet anymore. There is an air of revolt in Italy.

Exigir investigaciones profundas y justicia por las muertes de connacionales en Estados Unidos bajo custodia migratoria es necesario. Pero el Estado mexicano sostiene una contradicción mientras no se aplique esa misma justicia para los migrantes que atraviesan nuestro territorio.

I am looking at portions of the Fort Edward Solar map, drawn by the Canadian corporation of Boralex, which was acquired by an even larger Canadian conglomerate of Brookfield Asset Management this summer. This map articulates something very well for those who are new to the commercial solar and wind grift. See the "participating parcels" grey areas that will not host arrays, or inverters, or collection lines? Those are individuals who signed their land over to this project, hoping to host portions of the arrays to receive the money they were, probably, promised at the start of this. One individual from Western New York called me this summer to tell me how this worked out for wind turbines. The company promised his neighbor X amount of money per year, per turbine hosted on their land. They signed their land into a 35-year contract. The company turned around, did not place a turbine on their land, but instead used it for setbacks and access roads. This absolved the developer from having to pay "rent" on the turbines. The landowner did not receive the compensation they were promised, and now their land in destroyed. With solar, these land contracts commonly separate payments into stages: an option/development payment while the developer controls the land, then substantially larger construction/operations rent based on acreage actually used, leased premises, MW capacity, or some other formula. A participating parcel that ultimately gets no arrays might therefore receive only option/development payments. You'll never hear from the landowner, though, because these leases include gag orders that prevent them from telling you about all of this. And the developer is allowed to lie at our doorsteps since ORES totally and completely defers to the developer... right down to the developer's engineer siting the arrays and inverters in the middle of @fema Zone A flood zones.

🚨#BREAKING: The people of Milan in Italy have had ENOUGH of the 3rd world migrants destroying their stores and are now BEATING THEM BACK with batons!!! A lone Italian man wielding a baton starts SINGLE-HANDEDLY TAKING DOWN multiple looters at the Under Armour store in Milan!!!

Repeat offenders keep getting released onto New York’s streets. The reason: weak prosecutions and weak laws. The way forward is simple.

Paris used to be a girl’s dream destination. No matter where in the world we were from, we wanted to go to Paris and see the “city of romance” and fall in love with it. I have been to Paris a few times and, honestly, I never got to see that city of love that everyone discussed. Instead, I saw a city of chaos. I saw a city where if I didn’t have an Uber to take I didn’t leave my hotel. I had a cell phone stolen from me there once, too. The city of romance that once was is now no longer. Now we watch as “student protests” overtake the city. They’re not students. We see their pictures. These guys haven’t gone to school a day in their life. They’re barbarians who come from countries where this behavior is normal - and they’re now bringing it to our countries. I don’t blame them. They don’t know better. I blame the traitors who write the laws that allow them to come here and cause this havoc. I won’t be visiting Paris for the romantic walks and beautiful scenery anymore. In fact, I don’t see why I’d visit Paris ever again. I could just turn on my television and watch a war documentary if I wanted to see the scenes that are playing out there. I hope the French retake their country soon, because it should not ever belong to these violent savages.

Albanian police officer set on fire during nationwide protests

In 2011 I was in the north of France, in Nord pas de Calais, where I was staying with a French family in their lovely family home. Quentin, my host, along with his father, picked me up in Paris and we travelled to their family home together. I was in Nord pas de Calais to enroll my toddler in school, I wanted to give him a French education from elementary to high school. But very early on, I realized there was something unexpected brewing in the undercurrents of French daily life. Before taking any turn on a road, before entering a train, before even taking a turn down a hallway in a mall; Quentin would go first to inspect the path. He explained he needed to “inspect for Moroccans”, as crossing paths with them always turned out to be hazardous. “They treat you violently without reason.” He then taught me how to do the inspection myself, so that when the time would come, I could keep myself and my son safe. That was back in 2011, which was a long time ago. My son was accepted at the pre school in Lille and all of the papers were prepared for our move, but we never did make that relocation. We stayed in Metro Manila, and my son continued going to school at a Singaporean-run school here. Even though, I hadn’t even realized at the time, that the reality on the ground in France (and in Europe really), was not just a stale puddle of water remaining stagnant; RATHER, it was actually a growing body of flowing water more akin to a hungry river. I thought that the puddle would stay that way and people would be able to maneuver life around it. What I didn’t have the knowledge to predict yet, was that, the puddle would turn into a brook, and the brook into a river and the river would lead to an ocean. I have been following the progression of the events in France for many years now. The daily reality for them on the ground: their grandmothers raped and murdered inside their homes for the aged, by refugee asylum volunteers; their young girls beh€@d€d then thrown into public dumpsters; their stray cats and dogs raped by refugees who have free access to their healthcare and roofs over their heads. Daily events so horrific you wouldn’t dream about them in your worst nightmares. And now, we watch the erasure of French history in real time, while stupid influencers who know nothing but: clout, money, and fame; continue to post reels tapping their fingernails on Parisian balconies as if intentionally planted in order to blindfold the world to the everyday reality of ordinary French citizens. The events of today are not isolated, they are not spontaneous, and they are not sudden. The days, months, and years leading up to this were spelled out well in the making. This is not a story of “the French being the French”. This is the story of multiple-decades-long cultural and physical French invasion. As the structures that hold French history burn to ashes while French authorities make babytalk from their pedestals paid for by the orchestrators of this invasion, we realize that, one day the children of France will not even know the flag of France, will not even see the architecture of France, and perhaps one day, will not even speak French. The face of the geography of this planet is undergoing reconstruction. But unlike the reconstruction done for Hollywood actresses; this is more like the emergence of a new Frankenstein.
