The globalists condemned Italy’s Giorgia Meloni for promising to curb immigration if elected. As with Donald Trump, she was called a racist for wanting to secure her nation’s borders. Italy was facing an all-out invasion by land and sea under relaxed European Union edicts that permitted open borders. Now, under Meloni, illegal immigration has dropped 64% in the past year.
Over 150,000 migrants arrived in Italy by boat in 2023, nearly doubling the new arrivals seen in 2022. Instead of building shelters to house migrants with taxpayer funds, Meloni sought to build detention centers. Centri di Permanenza per il Rimpatrio (CPRs) or Repatriation Centers were extremely controversial but effective. Thousands of migrants were detained and deported if their application for asylum was denied. Word traveled that conditions in these centers were less than desirable, making Italy itself less desirable for would-be intruders.
Meloni hosted a conference last July, inviting 20 nations to participate, including EU officials and North African leaders. As with politics, there is always a pay-to-play bargain. Italy, along with the EU, agreed to provide Tunisia funding if they worked to control the outpouring of people from their country. Italy agreed to help the Libyan government in Tripoli and helped their coastguard learn tactics to deter migration. Deals were made with North African nations that benefitted each country. The Mattei Plan launched nine projects across six African countries in exchange for their participation in fighting illegal immigration to Italy. Although it came at a cost, the price was far less than Italy would have paid to house endless newcomers.
Then there was the Naval blockade proposal whereby Meloni wanted the Mediterranean secured. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen only agreed to offer Meloni support when she realized that migrants were using Italy as a starting point to enter other European nations.
There is no need for open borders. World leaders do have the ability to act if they choose to do so. The United States, Canada, the UK, and elsewhere in Europe are witnessing a deliberate and calculated invasion of their borders. It begins with the rhetoric that illegal trespassing will not be tolerated, and ends with actions that show the world their threats are not baseless. A decrease in 64% is quite significant and proves that anti-immigration policies are extremely effective.

For the second consecutive year, fewer women are giving in birth in Canada. The country now has a birth rate of 1.26 children per woman, with some provinces like British Columbia reporting a rate of only 1 child per woman. Yet, the number of children remained consistent year-over-year at 350,000, although there was a 5% decline in births from 2021 to 2022. The problem lies in fewer women of childbearing age opting to have children amid the terrible economic conditions.
“Canada has now joined the group of “lowest-low” fertility countries, including South Korea, Spain, Italy and Japan, with 1.3 children per woman or less. In comparison, the total fertility rate for the United States was 1.62 per woman in 2023,” Statistics Canada said in its press release.
More women are waiting until later in life to have children. Gone are the days when young couples could have families and rely on one income for support. Both the mother and father must be financially stable to responsibly bring life into this world. Over 26.5% of mothers in 2023 were over the age of 35 but that figure was only 10.7% twenty years ago. Unfortunately, this has increased the rate of premature births, which has reached a 50-year high.
On the other hand, Canada’s population reached an all-time high this year. Canada’s population surpassed 41 million, but it is not due to new births. Statistics Canada professed that the population rose 0.6% or 242,673 people from Q1 to Q2, standing at 41,012.563 as of April 2024. The nation rose by 1.27 from 2022 to 2023 or a 3.2%. Nearly all population growth (99.3%; 240,955 people) were solely attributed to migrants arriving in Canada.
We are witnessing population replacement at play. Birth rates are declining across developed nations among the citizens who can no longer afford to expand their families. On the other hand, these nations opened their borders and provided free shelter, healthcare, etc., to migrants who are comfortably expanding their families. We are witnessing a shift in society as the current citizens are being phased out and replaced by newcomers.
The United Nations would like the world to adhere to its lax crime laws. Generate civil unrest to destabilize nations to create a need for order, a New World Order, that will be more powerful and effective than the government. El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele began an anti-gang crusade when he entered office. Affiliated with a gang? Straight to prison.
Now, the self-proclaimed humanitarians at the Untied Nations called Bukele’s crusade extreme and demanded that he loosen his laws. “Some say that we have imprisoned thousands, but the reality is that we have freed millions. Now it is the good guys who live free, without fear, with their freedoms and human rights fully respected,” Bukele said to the counsel.
Over 82,000 gang members were arrested. Sadly, those who were not arrested fled to open border nations like the United States where they will not be deported because they are seeking asylum for their crimes. Donald Trump accurately said that declining crime in South America directly correlated to the rising crime we see in the United States.
But, it is the duty of each leader to put his or her country first. “We made our nation that was the homicide capital of the world, the safest country in the entire Western Hemisphere . It was the greatest challenge that our nation has overcome,” he added. The governor affirmed that El Salvador used to be the “most violent country in the world without war or the country of the maras” (gangs), but this changed with his crusade.” The president proudly noted that he has returned the streets of El Salvador back to the people.
Again, El Salvador cannot prevent the exodus of criminals from its border that are surging into the United States. Bukele would have had those criminals imprisoned, but Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have openly welcomed into America. The blatant corruption has been noted by everyone.
“In El Salvador we do not imprison our opposition, we do not censor opinions, we do not confiscate property of those who think differently, we do not arrest people for their expressing ideas,” the president said as a direct criticism to the Build Back Better nations that are openly silencing and arresting any politician who dares speak out against the Great Reset and New World Order agendas.
The nations with leaders brave enough to go against the global cabal are excelling. We cannot be angered by leaders who uphold the integrity of their office and put their own people and domestic policy first and foremost.

In Austria the Freedom Party (FPO) consisting of Austria-First populists, has won the largest vote of support from the electorate. However, just like Germany, France and the Netherlands, the lesser parties within current government have pledged to unite and form a government against the largest bloc.
The election platform of the Freedom Party was called “Fortress Austria,” outlining popular positions: strict border controls, deportation of “uninvited foreigners,” the end to sanctions against Russia, the end of military aid to Ukraine, and to walk away from the European Sky Shield Initiative, a missile defense project launched by Germany.
The overall positions are pragmatic and popular. The proposed moderate energy policies would likely drop prices. The Freedom Party is led by Herbert Kickl, who has pledged a more pragmatic form of government, while criticizing the elites in Brussels. The Freedom Party won the largest support bloc in the election with 29.1 percent of the vote. The media immediately labeled them “far-right.”
In the USA two parties represent the republican form of government; they unite on policy and we have a UniParty outcome. In many nations throughout Europe, within the parliamentary process that structures government, they have an assembly parties that similarly unite and block the insurgency of the major party.
The Austrian People’s Party and the Social Democrats have agreed to unite and stop the Austria-First Freedom Party from forming a government. They refuse to allow the nation to be led by Herbert Kickl. As a consequence, the largest party in Austria, the party with the most popular positions and the greatest number of votes, will be blocked from governing.
Austria's Freedom Party, which the fake news calls "far-right" just caused a major earthquake in Europe by WINNING the country's general election after campaigning on mass deportation and cracking down on illegal immigration
Profiting from a rightwing surge in many parts of Europe and taking Hungary’s Viktor Orbán as a model, the FPÖ capitalised on fears around migration, asylum and crime heightened by the August cancellation of three Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna over an alleged Islamist terror plot. Mounting inflation, tepid economic growth and lingering resentment over strict government measures during Covid dovetailed into a huge leap in support for the FPÖ since the last election in 2019.
Its polarising lead candidate, Herbert Kickl, who campaigned using the “people’s chancellor” moniker once used to describe the Austrian-born Adolf Hitler, said he was ready to form a government with “each and every one” of the parties in parliament.
“We have written a piece of history together today,” he told cheering party supporters in Vienna. “We have opened a door to a new era.”
“We don’t need to change our position, because we have always said that we’re ready to lead a government, we’re ready to push forward this change in Austria side by side with the people,” Kickl said in an appearance alongside other party leaders on ORF public television. “The other parties should ask themselves where they stand on democracy,” he added, arguing that they should “sleep on the result”.
Nehammer called the result, which will send shock waves through Europe, “bitter” while his defence minister, Klaudia Tanner, admitted the debacle for the governing parties was a “wake-up call”.
Because it failed to win an absolute majority, the FPÖ will need a partner to govern. Unlike the other centrist parties, the ÖVP has not ruled out cooperating with the far right in the next government, as it has twice in the past in taboo-breaking alliances at the national level.
Nehammer, however, repeated on Sunday that a scenario in which Kickl, a former hardline interior minister, became chancellor was a non-starter, setting up a potential showdown in which the FPÖ would have to either jettison Kickl or take a backseat in government to win the ÖVP’s support. (read more)

Elon Musk sent the entire world a significant and consequential alarm message on Sunday, September 29, 2024 at 11:11am. [Here is the LINK]
The complete message is below.
ELON MUSK – “Very few Americans realize that, if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election. Far from being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it!
Let me explain: if even 1 in 20 illegals become citizens per year, something that the Democrats are expediting as fast as humanly possible, that would be about 2 million new legal voters in 4 years.
The voting margin in the swing states is often less than 20 thousand votes. That means if the “Democratic” Party succeeds, there will be no more swing states!!
Moreover, the Biden/Harris administration has been flying “asylum seekers”, who are fast-tracked to citizenship, directly into swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Arizona. It is a surefire way to win every election.
America then becomes a one-party state and Democracy is over. The only “elections” will be the Democratic Party primaries. This already happened in California many years ago, following the 1986 amnesty.
The only thing holding California back from extreme socialism and suffocating government policies is that people can leave California and still remain in America. Once the whole country is controlled by one party, there will be no escape.
Everywhere in America will be like the nightmare that is downtown San Francisco.” ~Elon Musk
On Friday, Kamala Harris provided the receipts for Elon Musk’s warning:
Yet the media gaslights and continues to say this is a conspiracy theory.

Comrades, I’m really glad to see former Secretary of State and Climate Czar, John Kerry, outline the transparent truth of their intention in such a matter-of-fact way. Trust me, this is a really good thing. Perhaps no 2-minute encapsulation of current events more accurately outlines the worldview of the Biden-Harris administration, than this one.
Within the recent WEF discussion, Secretary Kerry outlines how freedom of speech is a ‘threat to the global democracy‘ because the governing officials have a difficult time controlling information. Kerry goes on to posit how the next administration, presumably in his hope Kamala Harris, will forcefully structure all the tools of government to stop Americans from using the first amendment to freely speak about issues.
Governing is too challenging, according to Kerry, when the government cannot stop people from seeking and discovering information that is against their interests. Effective governing required compliant adherence to a singular ideology. Against the backdrop of COVID-19 and a host of similarly related government narratives, if people are free to find alternative information and think for themselves, they become increasingly more difficult to control. Yes, this is said quite openly. This is the mindset of those in power. WATCH:
.
On another positive note, millions of people now accurately understand why it is so important to refute the terms “mis-dis-mal information.” When CTH initially warned about the labeling, most people did not understand; however, as the consequences begin to surface, I would argue almost a majority of people now understand.
2022: CTH encountered criticism for our position on information. Perhaps it is important to step back and explain exactly why we should not be playing by rules, like those proposed by John Kerry, which are established to control us while engaged in the battle of ideas. First, my position:
…”There is no such thing as “disinformation” or “misinformation”. There is only information you accept and information you do not accept. You were not born with a requirement to believe everything you are told; rather, you were born with a brain that allows you to process the information you receive and make independent decisions.”…
There is only information.
There are only two elements within the public discussion of information, truth and not truth.
In an era filled with “fact-checkers” and institutional guardians at the gates of Big Tech, let me explain exactly why it is important not to accept the speech rules of the guards.
When you accept the terms “disinformation”, “misinformation” or the newest lingo, “malinformation,” you are beginning to categorize truth and lies in various shades. You are merging black and white, right and wrong, into various shades of grey.
When your mind works in the grey zone, you are, by direct and factual consequence, saying there is a problem. You are correct; however, this is where people may make a mistake. The problem is supposed to be there.
It is not a solution to the problem to try and remove the grey simply because it takes too much work to separate the white pixels from the black ones. You were born with a gift, the greatest gift a loving God could provide. You were born with a brain and set of natural instincts that are tools to do this pixel separation, use them.
If you define the grey work as a problem you cannot solve on your own, you open the door for others to solve that problem for you. You begin to abdicate the work, and that’s when trouble can enter.
The sliding scale of Pinocchio’s is one of the most familiar yet goofy outcomes.
Put more clearly, when you accept the terminology “disinformation”, you accept a problem.
The problem is then the tool by which authorities will step in to make judgements.
Speech, in its most consequential form, is then qualified by others to whom you have sub-contracted your thinking.
When you willingly sub-contract information filters to others, you have lost connection with the raw information.
CTH was founded upon the belief that truth has no agenda, nor does it care about you, your feelings, or your opinion of it. It just sits there, empirically existing as evidence of information in its most pure form.
The search for truth, in all things, is the mission objective of this assembly. Often, we don’t like the truth; often, the truth is bitter, cold, challenging and even painful to accept. However, the truth doesn’t care. Information in its most raw form is ambivalent to your opinion. If you struggle to accept these things, that’s when you need grey. The New York Times is not called the “grey lady” accidentally.
Personally, I am an absorber of information – perhaps on a scale that is unusual. But I do not discount information from any form until I can put context to it and see if the information makes sense given all the variables present. When something doesn’t feel right, it’s almost always because it isn’t right.
Often, I find myself struggling in the grey and complex. It is not unusual to spend days, perhaps weeks, researching, digging, clarifying a situation, only to discover the path to finding the truth is in another direction entirely. Erasing everything and starting over is frustrating, but it is genuinely the only approach that works; and often finding truth is supposed to be difficult, that’s why it is rewarding.
In the digital information age, we are bombarded with information. It is easy to be overwhelmed and need to find something or someone who has better skills at separating the black grains from the white ones. All opinions in this quest should be considered; thus, it is important to allow the free flow of information.
I am not necessarily a speech absolutist. There is some language, particularly foul language, that needs to be constrained if we are to participate in a respectful society, with grandma’s rules and knowing the audience. Articulation of arguments needs to be effective, respectful and forthright.
CTH has guidelines for comments for this exact reason. It’s not about what is said, most often it is about how the opinion is said, vulgarity is not appropriate. Those constraints need to be based on a set of inherent values. However, when it comes to information it is important to draw a distinction from speech.
There needs to be an open venue for all information. Unfortunately, when we begin to apply labels or categorization to information, there’s an opportunity for information to be manipulated – even weaponized. We are in this situation right now.
Saul Alinsky spent decades pondering the best techniques to weaponize information and speech. Alinsky’s intentions in the endeavor to change society by changing how language and information was used were not good. He devoted his completed rulebook book to Lucifer.
Be careful about anyone saying we need to label or categorize information in order to control or remove a certain speaker from the discussion.
You were not born with a requirement to believe everything you are told; rather, you were born with a God-given brain that allows you to process the information you receive and make independent decisions.
COVID-19 and the subsequent government lies, have helped many people to see just how dangerous the modern political Marxists are. Those who proposed a “global information governance board,” are now on their heels and increasingly desperate. Hence, “governing is now hard” according to John Kerry.
The flickering flame of liberty and freedom has been under assault for decades, we are at an inflection point. I remain optimistic in our ability to defeat those who are trying desperately to use all the mechanics of every system to retain power, for the same reason that all abusive relationships eventually have to end.
