Maybe I read wrong but I thought this was about Sicily not the US. How do topics(non US) end up US

You realize our Government has teamed up with the mafia on numerous occasions since the 1930's right?

Local mafia bosses have declared war against Muslim immigrants in Sicily as thousands of North African migrants pour on to the Italian island each week.

The mob is trying to maintain control there, but is now facing a new threat from Muslim gangs that come with the immigrants.

And blood is starting to flow in the streets.

Leoluca Orlando, mayor of Palermo, said that his city “is no longer an Italian town. It is no longer European. You can walk in the city and feel like you’re in Istanbul or Beirut.”

The problem is, like so many liberal mayors in America, Orlando doesn’t see this as a problem.

He told the Daily Mail
“In the past, when the Mafia was more powerful, it prevented any immigrants from entering the city. Until I was 30 years old, I never saw an African or Asian in Palermo.

“The Mafia has not understood that the city has changed. We are now a city of immigrants, and the Mafia bosses no longer sit in the mayor’s chair.

“Palermo is a Middle Eastern town in Europe. It is a mosaic city and we are happy about that.”

Mayors like Rahm Emmanuel of Chicago risk making the very same mistake as the mayor of Palermo.

They keep letting Muslim immigrants take over the streets, and at some point, the local population is going to rebel, leading to much bloodshed.

it is clear that you dont understand the movement outside of your own involvement in it,,,


hmmm? and what is your source of 'understanding' of the movement?

some more definitions


victim: a person harmed, injured, or killed as a result of a crime, accident, or other event or action.

Perceived to be victimized. Perceived

Though you have continuously defended the Black Lies Matter movement, its clear that you don't understand the movement, outside of your own involvment in it. You and any other caring, intelligent people go to prayer vigils holding candles really have little to do with the larger Black Lies Matter movement, I'm sorry to say. You are wrong on #5, #7, #3, and #1.

For #3, remember that there is more than one axis of political thought.

In a democratic county, the cultural foundation for fascism is never a government or authority.

The only one you got right is the 'male leader' nonsense, which is simply a matter of historical accident.

nah, not really

besides being a victimized community,,there is no natural male leader(#6), there is no connection between being involved and individual self esteem(#5), the movement has no philosophy of superiority (#7), the group is not opposed to individualism or liberalism(#3), or against individual rights(#1)


not to mention, the description doesnt apply first off as the movement is not a government or authority,,,(regime)

but, in a democracy, most just use their 'right' to vote or not vote to make a change. Although that "Hope and Change" didn't work so well.

Paxton, author of several books, including "The Anatomy of Fascism" (Vintage, 2005), said fascism is based more on feelings than philosophical ideas. In his 1988 essay "The Five Stages of Fascism," published in 1998 in the Journal of Modern History, he defined seven feelings that act as "mobilizing passions" for fascist regimes. They are:

1. The primacy of the group. Supporting the group feels more important than maintaining either individual or universal rights.

2. Believing that one's group is a victim. This justifies any behavior against the group's enemies.

3.The belief that individualism and liberalism enable dangerous decadence and have a negative effect on the group.

4.A strong sense of community or brotherhood. This brotherhood's "unity and purity are forged by common conviction, if possible, or by exclusionary violence if necessary."


5.Individual self-esteem is tied up in the grandeur of the group. Paxton called this an "enhanced sense of identity and belonging."

6.Extreme support of a "natural" leader, who is always male. This results in one man taking on the role of national savior.

7."The beauty of violence and of will, when they are devoted to the group's success in a Darwinian struggle," Paxton wrote. The idea of a naturally superior group or, especially in Hitler's case, biological racism, fits into a fascist interpretation of Darwinism.


Once in power, "fascist dictatorships suppressed individual liberties, imprisoned opponents, forbade strikes, authorized unlimited police power in the name of national unity and revival, and committed military aggression," Paxton wrote.

do you see us eventually HAVING/EMBRACING a fascist leadership for the purpose of 'NATIONAL' loyalty and strength?

Now I'm not a big Bernie or Hillary fan but I think Hillary should win. Trump rhetoric is dangerous you can vote for whoever you want but just think hard.

As a result, Leiva is now facing 20 years in prison and permanent placement on the sex offender registry because the mother....


NO..not because of her mother.
Because HE broke the law.
HE did this to himself

Ugh. Your depressing me AL.
I was throw off just as your were, by the word "Lead". I explained it as it 'should be'.

In defense of the OP, he is in Germany & under * cough " Ma Merkel. So it is a different mindset & certainly a younger generation, that you & I.

I don't believe in Trump. I'm not voting for him.

you sure about that?

something like 7 million in the past 2 years? and he mkes about 250 million a year

if he gave that 20 years worth in just one year , it would still be only be under 3 percent

compared to the 15 to 30 percent of income the obamas gve to charity


NO COMPARISON

#1- Americans do not care what the world thinks of our Presidential election.
We laugh at that. We are a sovereign country. We are not a state in the EU, k@ssing a@s.

#2- Americans do not want to be lead. Polictians work for us.

Nor do want to HOUSE or PROTECT or POLICE the world, or PAY for it.

* No matter how the MEDIA & polical leaders & propoganda portrays it.*

#3- Fasten your seatbelt Germany. (For this thread & real life).

In a move spearheaded by environmentalists, the Portland Public Schools board unanimously approved a resolution aimed at eliminating doubt of climate change and its causes in schools.

"It is unacceptable that we have textbooks in our schools that spread doubt about the human causes and urgency of the crisis," said Lincoln High School student Gaby Lemieux in board testimony. "Climate education is not a niche or a specialization, it is the minimum requirement for my generation to be successful in our changing world."

The resolution passed Tuesday evening calls for the school district to get rid of textbooks or other materials that cast doubt on whether climate change is occurring and that the activity of human beings is responsible. The resolution also directs the superintendent and staff to develop an implementation plan for "curriculum and educational opportunities that address climate change and climate justice in all Portland Public Schools."

Bill Bigelow, a former PPS teacher and current curriculum editor of Rethinking Schools, a magazine devoted to education issues, worked with 350PDX and other environmental groups to present the resolution.

"A lot of the text materials are kind of thick with the language of doubt, and obviously the science says otherwise," Bigelow says, accusing the publishing industry to bowing to pressure from fossil fuels companies. "We don't want kids in Portland learning material courtesy of the fossil fuel industry."

In board testimony, Bigelow said PPS' science textbooks are littered with words like might, may and could when talking about climate change.

" 'Carbon dioxide emissions from motor vehicles, power plants and other sources, may contribute to global warming,' " he quotes Physical Science published by Pearson as saying. "This is a section that could be written by the Exxon public relations group and it's being taught in Portland schools."

Bigelow is also the co-author of a textbook on environmental education, A People's Curriculum for the Earth. Asked if this resolution will cause the district to buy new textbooks, such as his book, Bigelow said Rethinking Schools is a nonprofit, not a money-maker.

"What we're asking for is not: Buy new stuff," he said. "What we're looking for is a whole different model of curriculum development and distribution."

Bigelow said the district already has climate-change literacy curriculum, such as at Sunnyside Environmental School, and he wants that knowledge to spread.

School board member Mike Rosen introduced the resolution. He also leads NW Ecoliteracy Collaborative, a project focused on environmental curriculum standards. However, he says that work has been on hold.

"I have become concerned about its ability to make progress and not have a conflict with being a school board member," Rosen said, noting that he is now instead working part-time for the Audubon Society of Portland. "I don't want there to be a conflict between my school board work and this nonprofit."

Comment: The "science" of man made global warming has been thoroughly exposed as fraudulent but it's not surprising that indoctrination centers schools would push such lies on its students. The global warming myth fits in quite well with all the lies taught about history, health, civics, etc..
