Anti-government protests swept throughout Serbia over the weekend, with tens of thousands taking to the streets to demand change. The student-led protests began eight months ago after the government covered up a railway station canopy collapse that claimed the lives of 16 people, but the discontent with government began many years ago. The Serbian people are now demanding early parliamentary elections and the resignation of President Aleksandar Vučić.
Tens of thousands of protestors took to the streets in the capital of Belgrade on Sunday and Monday, blocking a main bridge over the Sava River. In Novi Saf, protestors surrounded the office of the ruling populist Serbian Progressive Party and pelted it with eggs. Vucic deemed these acts domestic terrorism. “Serbia won. You cannot destroy Serbia with violence,” said Vucic. “They consciously wanted to spur bloodshed. The time of accountability is coming.” Yet, protestors believe the current administration is “illegitimate,” and the anger intensified after Vucic announced that the next national vote would not take place before the end of 2026.
Serbia no longer has the freedom of the press as entities closely linked to Vucic and his administration own the majority of Serbian media outlets. Opposition parties do not have access to state television and are silenced. Independent journalists have been murdered in suspicious cases.
Vucic has rotated between prime minister and president roles to retain control for over 12 years. The people believe that the elections are rigged with reports of NGOs participating in voter intimidation and vote-buying. Instances of third-party illegal polling stations were common. Since the ruling party controls all state media, it controls the narrative.
The European Parliament called for an international investigation into voting irregularities after the 2023 election, threatening to withhold funds if it found evidence of voter fraud. Yet, voting was repeated at 43 separate polling stations due to irregularities. Every independent assessment found that while the elections were technically held in a democratic manner, the ruling party has extreme systemic advantages that slanted the election in their favor.
Serbia, a non-NATO member that has refused to impose sanctions on Russia, remains in a unique position that could cause external forces to intervene under the guise of supporting democracy. Aligning with the models, Serbia experienced significant unrest in 2023-2024 over election fraud allegations with tensions coming to a head in March 2025. The Balkans have been a historic battleground for the beginning of global conflict. Based on the model, the unrest will not quell and Serbia, as others, will continue to destabilize into 2027.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has pushed America-First, anti-terrorism, law and order into the center of the tourist visitor filter. Unstable extremists need not apply for visas to enter the USA, and anyone creating a social disturbance is subject to visa cancellation.
This is the same standard of behavior that is applied by all other countries for U.S. tourists in foreign visits; however, as Marco Rubio and the U.S. State Department enforce this expectation the domestic extremists and agitators are extremely agitated.
The latest example comes from a British punk/rap duo who decry American colonialism, profess severe antisemitism and promotion of violence. Recently, during a music festival in Britain, singer Bobby Vylan shouted, “Death, death to the IDF,” several times before turning the microphone toward the crowd to get attendees to repeat the chant. The IDF is the national military of Israel. Additionally, Vylan shouted “Free, Free, Free Palestine,” and again, had some in the crowd repeat what he said.
The State Dept has now cancelled their entry visa for their U.S. tour.
(Via Politico) – The State Department has revoked visas for a London-based punk duo set to tour the U.S. in October after the band led a crowd of festival-goers in England in calling for the death of the Israeli military over the weekend.
Deputy State Secretary Christopher Landau confirmed Monday that the State Department had revoked U.S. visas for members of the band Bob Vylan over comments the group made at the Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts.
“The @StateDept has revoked the US visas for the members of the Bob Vylan band in light of their hateful tirade at Glastonbury, including leading the crowd in death chants. Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country,” Landau posted on X.
The State Department’s decision came after Bobby Vylan, lead singer of the duo, led more than 200,000 attendees at the festival in chants of “free, free Palestine” and “death, death to the IDF” — the Israel Defense Forces.
The group has 20 performance dates planned for cities in the U.S. starting in October. It is unclear whether the band will still be able to perform this fall. (read more)

Over 2.1 million people are starving to death in Gaza, and yet, the international community has turned a blind eye. Hamas refuses to cooperate as they know they are outnumbered and overpowered. Israel has announced its next steps: “Gaza will be entirely destroyed.”
“There is no sense in engaging in talks or considering new ceasefire proposals as long as the hunger war and extermination war continue in the Gaza Strip,” Basem Naim, a senior Hamas official, told AFP.
“Gaza will be entirely destroyed, civilians will be sent to … the south to a humanitarian zone without Hamas or terrorism, and from there they will start to leave in great numbers to third countries,” finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, stated. Operation Gideon’s Chariots is Israel’s scorched Earth policy that will lead to “the conquest of the Gaza Strip and the holding of the territories.” Smotrich declared that the world must embrace Israel’s “occupation,” as it plans a full-scale offensive to annex the territory.
Gaza’s population has declined by 160,000 people or 6% since the beginning of the war, with people, primarily civilians, mainly dying or missing as it is difficult to flee when no neighboring nation will accept refugees. The Rafah Crossing in Egypt closed in March as Egypt does not wish to coordinate with Israel, believing the nation has violated the 1979 peace treaty. Israel has closed off its Erez Crossing to fleeing Palestinians. Syria is merely another warzone although some flee to Syria in search of a third location. Lebanon and Jordan have accepted hundreds of thousands of refugees but they have since closed their borders.
Greece, Belgium, Turkey, and Germany accepted a large number of Palestinian refugees primarily at the beginning of the war. Canada was offering special immigration measures to refugees, providing them with C$3,000 to resettle in Canada. The program is only available to those who have fled Gaza, as there is no way to reach the people within Gaza. Other nations will pay for Israel’s crimes.
Operation Gideon’s Chariots entails forcibly evacuating ALL civilians to “sterile” humanitarian zones in the south. The blockade will continue during the siege, and those who manage to escape to humanitarian zones will receive limited aid. The operation will begin after US President Donald Trump visits Israel. Bibi claims Hamas has until Trump’s visit to release the hostages, but nothing is going to prevent Operation Gideon’s Chariots. Trump’s visit will simply green-light Israel’s forthcoming actions. Trump has already provided Israel with $12 billion in aid since taking office, which is in addition to the $3.3–$3.8 billion in aid Israel already receives from the United States.
The neocons seek to use the Middle East as a second front against Russia, and in this arena, they have the full support of the United States. Our computer, which has been truly amazing in its geopolitical forecasts, clearly shows that we were entering war beginning in 2014, particularly in 2027 – a 13-year period of escalating civil unrest as well as international war.
