Canada – Alt Right

Published by:

An interesting article about one of the founders of the Canadian Alt Right media movement. If you have any doubts about their views on Rroma, here is what he said:

“These are gypsies, a culture synonymous with swindlers.The phrase gypsy and cheater have been so interchangeable historically that the word has entered the English language as a verb: he gypped me. Gypsies are not a race. They’re a shiftless group of hobos. They rob people blind. Their chief economy is theft and begging. For centuries these roving highway gangs have mocked the law and robbed their way across Europe.”

You can be a member of a minority and be a racist …

Canada and Hungarians …

Published by:

Seems that Canada has been deporting a disproportionate amount of Hungarians. Actually, according to a Law professor specialised in immigration law, most of them were Rroma… So it seems that there is a pattern here …

US: How Not to Report

Published by:

A news channel in the US reports on a scam based on stopping drivers by telling them there is something wrong with their car and then ends up robbing them. So far, all normal, it is a scam that exists throughout the world.
But then, an expert says it is surely Rroma, and the ladies who were robbed say the police told them so.
ON WHAT BASIS??? And even if it were, is race relevant in crime?

Croatian Misstep

Published by:

The Croatian president Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic posed on a picture with a Croatian flag bearing the symbol of the Ustaša during a visit in Canada. The flag, while being close to the current Croatian one, shows the coat of arms starting with a white square on the left hand corner, which is the Ustaša pattern.
Knowing the current revisionists views in Croatia concerning their fascist past, this is not really good …

More on the Rroma Invasion of California

Published by:

Seems that several Newspapers are catching on the migration of Rroma in California. From the articles, one could believe it is a real trend.
Well, they have probably more Rroma immigrants they don’t recognise as such (they don’t fit the stereotypes) than the ones which prompted these articles. If they only knew that there have been Rroma steelworkers and then automobile factory workers in the US since ages, among many other Rroma!
