ANSWER: It is an excellent series. This deals with the fall of Rome after the Civil War between Octavian and Marc Antony, which was a proxy war funded by Cleopatra. It was so good, I have watched it more than once. Livia was renoun for her intelligence, but also for her stunning beauty.
Things are getting very interesting in the EU, specifically the nations with significant uprisings of farmers and truckers.
What I find interesting in this Reuters story, is the first time one of the MSM publications has been willing to identify the true intent of the protests.
WARSAW, Feb 2 (Reuters) – Polish farmers from the Solidarity trade union plan a general strike starting next Friday with a blockade of border crossings between Poland and Ukraine, it said, joining similar protests, opens new tab all over Europe.
Farmers in France, Belgium, Portugal, Greece and Germany have been protesting against the constraints placed on them by EU measures to tackle climate change, as well as rising costs and unfair competition from abroad. Polish farmers have been particularly vocal about the impact of cheap food imports from neighbouring Ukraine.
“Our patience has run out. Brussels’ position on the last day of January 2024 is unacceptable for our entire agricultural community,” the trade union said in a statement dated Thursday.
“Additionally, the passivity of the Polish authorities… regarding the import of agricultural produce and food products from Ukraine leave us with no other choice but to declare a general strike.”
The European Commission said it was listening closely to the concerns expressed by farmers in protests taking place in several member states. (read more)

QUESTION: I am wondering about the French Revolution. Was it the first, or is history here also cyclical, and there have been revolutions in France earlier and after? How often they repeat themselves historically and is todays tractor protest part of it?
Best regards Vesa.P
ANSWER: How many revolutions did France have? That is an interesting question one would assume has a straightforward answer – THREE! As with everything, academics will disagree, arguing over what constitutes a revolution. Some define a revolution as a regime change involving collective physical force. This definition yields the key dates of 1789, 1830, and 1848. The first revolt is the famous one where the French Revolution was against monarchy following the events of the United States. That was the one where they beheaded Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. This is when Napoleon comes to power.
The 1830 Revolution, which is usually called the July Revolution, saw the House of Bourbon dethroned in favor of the House of Orléans. Charles and his family fled France and lived in exile in Savoy, his wife’s native country. Meanwhile, in Paris, Louis XVI was struggling against the National Assembly.
The third is sometimes called the February Revolution or the French Revolution of 1848. It ended the Orléanists and brought in a period known as the Second Republic. This was the Communist Revolution that swept most of Europe.
What we must understand is that this was a period of turmoil and although they are three separate revolutions, they were all part of the same discontent spanning 60 years.
In 486, Clovis I, leader of the Salian Franks, defeated Syagrius at Soissons and subsequently united most of northern and central Gaul under his rule. Clovis then recorded several victories against other Germanic tribes such as the Alamanni at Tolbiac. In 496, pagan Clovis adopted Catholicism. This gave him greater legitimacy and power over his Christian subjects and granted him clerical support against the Arian Visigoths. He defeated Alaric II at Vouillé in 507 and annexed Aquitaine, and thus Toulouse, into his Frankish kingdom..
The Goths retired to Toledo in what would become Spain. Clovis made Paris his capital and established the Merovingian dynasty but his kingdom would not survive his death in 511.
Obama and Biden like Iran. Obama and Biden are facilitating a pro-Iran policy. Obama and Biden don’t want to do anything against the interests of their pro-Iran position. That’s the simple baseline.
As a direct consequence, the same U.S. intelligence community that proclaimed the Hunter Biden laptop was disinformation, now modify their prior intelligence to proclaim that Iran likely doesn’t have any control over the various terrorist networks they support. As a result, Biden cannot conduct a retaliatory strike against Iran because Biden cannot prove a direct link to Iran.
Our intel agencies are essentially falling on the sword of ‘some people did something, but we can’t be sure.’ See how this works?
WASHINGTON – Intelligence officials have calculated that Tehran does not have full control over its proxy groups in the Middle East, including those responsible for attacking and killing U.S. troops in recent weeks, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
The Quds Force — an elite branch of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps — is responsible for sending weapons and military advisers as well as intelligence to support militias in Iraq and Syria as well as the Houthis in Yemen. The groups have varying ambitions and agendas, which sometimes overlap, but Tehran does not appear to have complete authority over their operational decision-making, the officials said.
While the disclosure means it may be particularly hard to predict what actions these groups will take, it also could lower the chance of the U.S. getting pulled into a direct confrontation with Iran. Any indication that Tehran was directly involved in ordering or overseeing the attacks would make U.S. retaliation against Iran more likely. (read more)
Tucker Carlson interviews Bret Weinstein who traveled to the Darien Gap to understand who’s behind the invasion of our country. His conclusion: “it’s not a friendly migration.” He sits down with Tucker Carlson for an in-depth review and analysis.
Weinstein is perplexed, albeit with various theories about the origination and motives behind the mass invasion, however, if you have followed the issue closely since the first rendition during the Obama era in January 2011, the entire “crisis” is nothing more than one growing continuum of the fundamental change. {Go Deep on Timeline} Obama originated the UAC Central American migration. The additional arrivals are a confluence of natural opportunists facilitated by various leftist orgs and countries.
The interview itself is very interesting, including how the Chinese saw the opportunity created by the Obama effort and started taking advantage of it. WATCH:

The popular farmer and trucker protests in the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Romania, France and now Belgium are continuing.
Sensing the problematic nature of the uprising, watching the protests escalate to direct confrontation at parliament, and facing considerable political opposition on many domestic issues, the French government of Emmanuel Macron has agreed to the terms of the French farmers. However, the two major labor unions associated with the farmers in France are not asking for the protests to stop until they see the agreement of the French government in writing.
Protesting farmers blockaded multiple roads and camped outside the European parliament building in Brussels on Thursday, ahead of a EU leaders’ summit in the Belgian capital. The demonstrators lit two fires outside and placed their tractors in front of the European parliament building. Farmers have been protesting across Europe against the globalist agenda, rising costs in the agriculture sector and targeted taxes by the various governments.
(Associated Press) – France’s two major farmers unions announced they would lift country-wide blockades Thursday, shortly after the prime minister introduced new measures aimed at protecting their livelihoods that they described as “tangible progress.”
However, farmer activists who have snarled traffic along major highways around Paris said they would stay put at least another day to see the government commitments in writing, and both unions said they would closely monitor any government implementation.
“We don’t want to hear words of love. What we want is proof of love,” said Thierry Desforges, a farm union member at road blockade of the A6 highway in Chilly-Mazarin, south of Paris.
Thousands of French farmers have been demonstrating for a couple of weeks across the country in protests over low earnings, heavy regulation and what they call unfair competition from abroad. Similar protests also have extended across Europe, including at the European Union headquarters in Brussels.
Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, whose earlier promises to address farmers’ issues had failed to quell the French protests, announced a new set of measures Thursday.
They included tens of millions of euros in aid, tax breaks and a promise not to ban pesticides in France that are allowed elsewhere in Europe — which French farmers say leads to unfair competition. Attal also said France would immediately ban imports from outside the EU that use a pesticide banned in the bloc.
Arnaud Rousseau, president of France’s biggest farmers union FNSEA, and Young Farmers union President Arnaud Gaillot said Thursday that they were calling on their members to suspend the protests.
[…] At the Chilly-Mazarin blockade, Damien Greffin, a FNSEA representative, said farmers still need time to “better analyze the measures” as some appeared to him “a bit deceptive.”
Desforges, a fellow FNSEA member, remained cautious about proposals that concern the EU because “we know how Europe works, the countries still need to agree.”
Regarding domestic proposals, “we really need to wait and see if they are turned into law,” Desforges added. (read more)
The only reason this story gained traction was because CCTV video was involved. With tens of millions of violent illegal aliens throughout the country, just imagine how much crime is occurring without detection or without widespread public knowledge.
In New York City, five illegal aliens acting as a pack of wild dogs were caught-on-camera attacking two NYPD cops in Times Square. They were tracked down and arrested. However, after appearing in court, they immediately received bail.
As noted by the NY Post, “Footage of the incident on West 42nd Street shows an NYPD officer and lieutenant telling a group of migrants to move along before a scuffle breaks out. The officers sustained kicks and punches as they attempted to wrestle some of the individuals to the ground.”
In an update, after receiving bail the five assault criminals have now hopped a charity bus heading to California to avoid prosecution.
NEW YORK – Four of the migrants cut loose without bail after allegedly ganging up on two NYPD cops near Times Square may be on the run, The Post has learned.
Cops believe the group hopped on a bus bound for California on Wednesday after giving phony names to a church-affiliated nonprofit group that helps migrants get rides out of the city, according to law enforcement sources.
Four migrants were charged with assault on a police officer and obstruction immediately after the shocking, caught-on-video attack Saturday in Midtown: Darwin Andres Gomez, 19, Kelvin Servita Arocha, 19, Wilson Juarez, 21, and Yorman Reveron, 24.
All were released without monetary bail, though Reveron, who had prior arrests on his rap sheet, was put on supervised release. A fifth asylum-seeking suspect, Jhoan Boada, 22, was hit with the same charges and also released without bail Wednesday. (read more)
We know it is only going to get worse. Almost none of these released illegal aliens have an independent financial support system. Considering the cultural norms and outlooks held by the mostly young adult males, as the reality of their situation hardens, we can expect extreme antisocial behavior to manifest throughout the country.
To gain a perspective on how quickly this is happening, head to your local indoor shopping mall. Sit on a bench as an observer, maintain full situational awareness and look around. You’ll see it just as clear as you are reading this type. The “slowly at first” is currently metastasizing and spreading throughout most population centers.
Be aware of your surroundings, and if you have young vulnerable females in the family – be extremely diligent with their safety.
George Soros is using his fortune to support the establishment once again and now has his sights set on Texas. Amid the Texas border standoff, Soros has spent nearly $3 million to support five separate groups in Texas determined to flip the state blue.
Texas Majority PAC, funded solely by Soros and his Democracy PAC II, has been operating off the radar since December 2022. “Texas Majority PAC is a research and development institution dedicated to flipping Texas blue by building year-round Democratic infrastructure in the key regions of Texas,” the description notes. “TMP invests in partners running voter engagement and turnout programs in an effort to bring their work to the scale required to win statewide office in Texas.”
Those affiliated with the group are confident they will continue to receive funding. Soros personally provided the group with $1.4 million and funneled an additional $850,000 through his Democracy PAC II. “We need millions of more dollars and hundreds of more full-time staff to do this,” the group’s executive director, Katherine Fischer, told The Texas Tribune. “Texas Majority PAC works with partners across the state to create the conditions that will make flipping the state possible.”
What conditions are required to flip Texas? The group has been extremely vague but there are numerous theories. Again, this is only one of FIVE known groups that Soros is bankrolling.
Texas is a Republican state, but Trump barely secured the Lone Star State in 2020 when he defeated Joe Biden by a mere six percentage points. Donald Trump received 52.06% of the total vote, which amounted to 5,890,347 votes. On the other hand, Joe Biden received 46.48% of the total vote, which was 5,259,126 votes.
Texas Majority PAC is run by staffers from Beto O’Rourke’s 2022 failed campaign. O’Rourke lost the 2018 Senate race against Ted Cruz and has not sought any office since. Ted Cruz is up for re-election this year, and rest assured this PAC will do everything to prevent him from winning. O’Rourke was an outspoken advocate for illegal immigration and removing any border between the US and Mexico.
Texas is narrowly holding on to its red state values. One of the “conditions” that could flip Texas is the very issue Governor Abbott is fighting to prevent – illegal migration. These globalists will continue the invasion of Texas in a sinister attempt to flip the state, thereby removing any barriers that would prevent illegal immigrants who they see as future blue voters.
