WEIRD …

Published by:

A weird news about a police department in the US North West on a training in “which law enforcement would learn about the supposed “Gypsy” threat in the Pacific Northwest, in a session titled “Without Mercy: Criminal Gypsies/Travelers and the Elderly.””
Since when are Rroma a threat to the US?

The Federal court slams refugee’s court verdict on Roma cases, calling them “neither intelligible nor transparent”. Well Done!
The court found a lawyer who had been defending several cases of Rroma refugees guilty of professional misconduct. He had submitted ill prepared, vague asylum claims and containing spelling and grammatical mistakes.

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!

Not Acceptable !

Published by:

Not Acceptable !

An article in the Canadian Press is mixing some historical facts (Indian origin, since at least 900 years in the Balkan, etc.) with some gross mistakes – Rom comes from Romania. But then, there are totally racist statements. Judge by yourself:

  • No patriotism (gypsies have never been tied to any lands unless by force)
  • There is no spirit of solidarity (gypsies express such feelings of solidarity only in cases that serve their interests of the moment)
  • There is no punctuality and a sense of order (gypsies are Bohemian, indifferent to history, they are perennial pilgrims)
  • There is no respect for the law (in gypsy society the law is made by the “stabor” and the “bulibasha,” similar to Muslim tribes and their Sharia Law)
  • Gypsies build a state within a state, supported by the force of the occult.

Please protest!
