L'Espresso published exposé claiming Putin is secretly funneling $3 million to Italy's far-right deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini through mark-up on diesel sales w/Italian company Eni to help swing European elections towards Russia-friendly candidates
translatetheweb.com/?from=&to=en&r…
Daily Beast story notes how the reportedly secret deal to funnel $3 mil to Italy to fund Salvini's Lega [League] party allegedly involved discussions with Salvini ally Gianluca Savoini, Aleksandr Dugin & Aleksey Komov who is linked to Steve Bannon
thedailybeast.com/an-italian-exp…
On a trip to Moscow Savoini was photographed at a meeting discussing the oil deal with Russian oil executives and was overheard mentioning far-right figures who are all part of Steve Bannon's new Movement coalition - and discussing Rosneft in the deal
thedailybeast.com/an-italian-exp…
This article has more detail from book by journalists @GiovanniTizian @StefanoVergine - Eni would purchase 3 million tonnes of diesel from Rosneft, at 4% discount below recommended price & difference (up to €3 million) would go to Lega instead of Eni
theblacksea.eu/stories/plot-t…
Meanwhile - Rosneft is threatening to sue La Stampa (which printed a version of L'Espresso story), demanding they retract the article on Lega party funding
urdupoint.com/en/world/rosne…
Part of significance of story is detail on financial arrangement - a business deal involving siphoning 4% off a gas deal to funnel into funding a political party supporting Russia's interests

A deal similar to ones reported in past & perhaps more to come
In lower right of Rosneft chart I showed Italy's Intesa Sanpaolo bank involved in financing discussions for 19.5% Dec 2016 privatization deal - goodwill from that led to Putin & Italy's prime minister Gentiloni extending Rosneft-Eni partnership in May 2017

‘European Spring’: Italy’s Salvini Building Alliance with Poland to ‘Save Europe’
@cspanwj Populist Italian deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini has met with the Polish government seeking to form a “new European Spring” to combat the “French-German axis” in a battle for the future of Europe.
@cspanwj The EU is at odds as the Germans and French align against Poland, Italy and Hungary over "European (progressive, pro-migration) values".

1) The Stars Are Beginning to Align! Globalism Is Dying a Slow and Painful Death….

The past week has seen more and more evidence that Globalism is hanging on by a thread. No matter where you look, there are more and more signs that it won’t be long before it dies.
2) North Korea can smell their freedom from China. Look who is coming back on Thursday and Friday to meet with Secretary Pompeo.

3) The European Union and PM May took another big smack across their face today with the vote in the U.K. on the deal they negotiated for Brexit.

Dr EM supports Meghan Murphy

We need to place gender essentialism (the notion that women's oppression is innate and natural) in a wider context - a long lasting global recession with deep political and economic uncertainty and pain.
History teaches us that most authoritarian regimes begin by deceiving people that they are left wing or progressive. History shows us that totalitarianism utilises student groups to gain power. See my thread on this:
Authoritarianism usually starts with trying to control women. As Valerie M. Hudson argues 'it’s vital to remember that for most of human history, leaders & their male subjects forged a social contract: “Men agreed to be ruled by other men in return for all men ruling over women.”

Thread.

Folks, you need to stop brushing myself or any other Jewish person off when we warn you about antisemitism.

WE KNOW THE SIGNALS. This is our 2000 year history screaming.

But most importantly, WHITE NATIONALISTS KNOW THEM TOO. Inside and out. /1
There is a reason why we ALL need to be very much on top of the rise of violent antisemitism in the United States AND the rise of normalisation of antisemitism in Europe in places like England, Poland, Hungary, Italy and more. /2
Aside from the fact that this is painful, shocking, triggering and a dire threat to the well-being of Jewish people...

Which should be enough right there to garner grave concern and support... /3
