1. Europe’s going all wonky! Germany was thinking of banning the AfD to ‘save democracy’. Romania’s election results were overturned on account of ‘Russia, Russia, Russia’.

   Surely coincidental that the Right is targeted, eh?

   1. The euro-weenies are deluding themselves if they think the US is going to give them a favorable trade deal or other things with this sort of crap going on.

2. “Aristo! Aristo! À la lanterne!”

3. Lampposts! Lampposts! Lampposts!

   4. The French revolution was exuberant.

5. À la lanterne
   Slogan used during French Revolution

   “À la lanterne!” is a French slogan that gained special meaning and status in Paris and France during the early phase of the French Revolution from the summer of 1789. Lamp posts served as an instrument to mobs to perform extemporised lynchings and executions in the streets of Paris during the revolution when the people of Paris occasionally hanged officials and aristocrats from the lamp posts.

   La good old days?

6. How much of all this political upheaval in the ‘democracies’ can be attributed to the beginning of their loss of national financial solvency? Countries are running out of other peoples’ money and the plebes don’t know it; hence the political anxiety.

   1. The Euro is one sovereign debt crisis away from complete collapse and they’ve got a slew of members who could set it off. With the US eliminating its money funneling operations to the EU watch for more cracks to appear. This is going to worse before it gets better.

7. Torches and pitchforks. That’s the only remedy now. Injustice cannot be allowed to stand.

8. …and plenty of piano wire.

9. Happened in Hungary @1956. Many here were young punks probably not interested in the affairs of men
   Living upstream Danube from Hungary, about 11 years old, always interested in politics even then, familiar with all the politicians of the western countries and the US, there were pictures in the papers of lamp posts being decorated by hung people. Not a pretty sight.
   Not funny at the best of times.
