The bizarre part, from the perspective of normal democracy, is the open admission by EU Commissar Ursula von der Leyen that she intends to punish the Italian people if they elect the wrong political leadership to run their country. Yes, she literally threatened to punish Italy if the voters elect an Italy-first candidate tomorrow.
Having previously sanctioned Hungary and Poland for electing heads of state that are nationalist minded, Ursula von der Leyen warned the Italian people she will take the same action if Italians defy the will of the European Union collective. When asked about EU citizens demanding their elected leaders listen to their specific and unique economic needs, the EU President Stated {Direct Rumble Link}:
“We will see the result of the vote in Italy. If things go in a difficult direction — and I’ve spoken about Hungary and Poland — we have the tools.”
.
The remarks come from Commissar von der Leyen because a rising nationalist star in Italy named Giorgia Meloni is anticipated to win victory. Meloni is an unapologetic nationalist who believes in Italy-first. As a result, the EU media consider Meloni an ultra-far-right-wing politician. However, the scale of public support for Meloni has positioned her to become Italy’s first female prime minister in the election tomorrow.
As noted by Treeper Betsy Jones:
“Italy’s elections are on Sunday. The charismatic Georgia Meloni, a nationalist, is set to be Italy’s first female PM.
But unlike most women in the higher eschelons of power in Europe and elsewhere, she is an Italian for Italians, who have been sold out by her predecessors. She is anti Schwab, anti everything that is happening now which will bring devastation upon every man, woman, and child in Europe. She has made this very plain, which is why the Euro “elites” both hate and fear her.
Today Ursula von der Leyen out and out threatened all of Italy and its voters. She said…
“We will see the result of the vote in Italy. If things go in a difficult direction–I’ve spoken about Hungary and Poland– we have the tools.”
And this is the tyrannical EU. Power mad and vicious. Totally unconcerned about the people under its brutal thumb.
One by one it seems individual countries which have been coerced into joining a godless, foul political union, sold to them as a purely economic one, have regained control of their pride and their senses. All their cultures and histories were essentially eradicated in obeisance to their new masters in Strasbourg and the Hague. I believe these peoples want them returned.
I pray for the Italians, the Poles, and the Hungarians…and any other country in continental Europe which makes it clear that they will not be subsumed into misery, economic catastrophe, or death…simply because von der Leyen, Schwab, Sholz and like monsters tell them they must obey.
What at first seemed like a small hole in the WEF dam with the Dutch farmers now seems to be widening, and relatively quickly, too.
Godspeed to those who have said “Enough! No more!” May it herald better times for them. And us.” (link)

Having dated woman from Naples, I wish the EU slag the best of luck locking horns with a PO’d Italian bird.
Teach her to shoot, and now we have something going. Im Bocc’al Lupo!
You don’t dare cross an Italian princess!
It’s worth noting my ex-girlfriend was redheaded from birth to boot. A striking creature for sure and a fantastic cook, no shortage of snappy comebacks, but quite ferocious if provoked.
I prefer to Bless the Just Harvest in Multiplied Bountifulness to the EU and slag. After all, They’ve worked So Hard for it.
Exponentially Multiply it to them.
I am happy to see countries return to nationalism.
Oh how marvelous if ALL countries would elect a nation first agenda and withdraw from the EU! Then who would these tyrants control?
They would own NOTHING and be very unhappy!
And, the UN as well.
Just a matter of time. Like I said somewhere, let the winter freeze the folks who think the WEF somehow has their backs. Then it’s over.
AMEN! Yeah, Let them eat their Just Desserts for a while and see if that clears their heads a little bit.
How did Italy escape election fraud??
Tell her vafanculo
lol. I used to hear my grandmother say that. I didn’t know what it meant until I was a bit older since my Dad never spoke Italian around us.
As the late great Bob Grant use to say about the ex-governor of NY, Ursula, azende me tuzeprovenos sfachim.
I wouldn’t give them the pleasure!
I thought Fangul, would do. Same sentiment to Von Der Leyen, who shows her inner Na Zi more and more. Turns out her father was a Wehrmacht member involved in the Baba Yar massacre. Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
I watched the interview of Ursula Leyen multiple times, these people are not running scared. Ursula Leyden reminds me of a modern day Irma Grese, a concentration camp guard of WW2. I read and understand why people post and want to believe that good will overcome the evil, it’s a defense not unlike a turtle pulling into his shell or a small child burying their head in a lap to not see something unsettling. To a person, you must push back individually the evil you see on a daily basis, yes its exhausting, however, if you have children and grandkids its something you must do, being an adult presses you to do the unpleasant. I am not attacking how you approach life, I consider myself partly sunny never partly cloudy kind of person. The amount of change since the coup has been breathtaking. Be well this Sunday.
Brilliant, Buck! Share your wisdom widely.
AMEN, Well said!
Samuel Adams: Shame on the men who can court exemption from present trouble and expense at the price of their own posterity’s liberty!
“Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say ‘what should be the reward of such sacrifices?’ Bid us and our posterity
bow the knee, supplicate the friendship and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the
dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth?
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace.
We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you,
and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.” – Samuel Adams
When the EU makes a decision, you can count on it being the wrong one. Eventually the EU, possibly sooner than we think, will evaporate as the morning dew on a warm, sunny summer’s day.
When I did my MBA back in 1992, at the time the Maastricht Treaty was signed, I wrote a paper on the inevitability of the failure of the European Union. The thesis was based in macroeconomics – that the conflict between central monetary policy and individual countries’ fiscal policies could never be reconciled, because the variation in the politics of the individual countries, and where they each wanted to be in terms of government spending and taxation was too diverse.
While Brussels has done a fair job at slow boiling the EU countries to get with their program, I still don’t think they will ever create one EU culture across their member states, and the more time passes, and the closer they get to that, the more likely the frogs will jump out of the pot.
This is the irony and hypocrisy of their mantra of “diversity is strength”. Where it matters, they are doing everything they can to eliminate diversity.
You were a visionary, sir!
The real issue here is the EU’s fears over the future viability of Italy’s Govt bonds, in which its member states are invested heavily.
Their concern is that on top of their foolish self-imposed fossil fuel and nuclear energy boycotts, this could end up being “the straw that broke the camel’s back” (no pun intended).
Not very familiar with the inner workings of country level government finance, but I would guess that they have the same incestuous relationship that we have with the Fed. That’s probably one equalizing factor that they used to neutralize the conflict between monetary and fiscal policy – just use the funds of the collective to finance the deficits of the PIIGS, and piglets. Of course the problem is when you run out of other people’s money….. It is a house of cards.
I think the green energy and boycott of Russian energy will just be the catalyst that blows it all down. They are beggaring themselves by making their industry non-competitive, and when the few remaining solvent countries (like Germany) fail, it’s game over.
Diversity matters only when it is used to destroy white lands and culture
Yes indeed. And the whole argument for diversity doesn’t pass rational or empirical muster. How can a block of people or anything be stronger when they don’t agree and don’t have common bonds, let alone a common language or history. The term Balkanization is always viewed in the pejorative.
Especially, when they see their people freezing this winter because of their wrong-headed policies. Or maybe not. The elites will escape to some sunny paradise.
Start referring to the elite as the obso-lite.

What is so cool is every time the corrupt Left, the EU, and their lapdog media accuse Meloni of having Mussolini roots she accuses them of their Bolshevik roots.
She is no wallflower.
Good read. Thanks for sharing.
Love it. The Bolsheviks are the greatest threat to any nation by far.
“with liberty and justice defined for all.” And there you have it.
Dear Italians, VOTE THE BASTARDS OUT TO REGAIN YOUR FREEDOM FROM OPPRESSION !!!!
STAND WITH MELONI !!!
Amazing. The fascist E.U. is threatening Italy with sanctions if they vote “the wrong way”. Maybe building a one world government is not such a great idea after all.
Fortunately the E.U. doesn’t really have an army to throw around.
But they threaten to employ their economic army.
Ain’t going to be much economic weight they can effectively throw around on the current trajectory.
Good one!
This type of behaviour will be the EU’s undoing eventually…Nationalisim, or family as I’d like to express it, will eventually come to all nations who seek to retain any degree of morality and love of God.
American Treeper living in Italy here, I live right in front of a poll and the voting is brisk, much more than the last few elections. The commies fear this the most, granted I live in the North East so solid right wing territory, but still. We all hope Giorgia wins and that she doesn’t make the same mistakes Berlusconi did when he won big a little over ten years ago. The storm unleashed by the “establishment” , especially the red so called magistrates, could have been weathered but for his personality flaw on not being able to think people actually didn’t like him. This set him on a course of appeasement to the left that fatally wounded his own political party and future. The treachery from the inside also did him in, much like Trump with many bad personnel choices. We shall see, but in any case this is another cut on the Brussels mafia’s hide and they will keep coming even though this will be a long hard battle. In the next few months we will witness the political and media going after her with all they’ve got. Pray for her strength.
Thank you for your boots on the ground info.
Sure thing. Now comes the hard part, but today we savor commie tears.
I think I saw a Reuters tag that stated “low turnout”… Propagandizing?
Wishful thinking I suspect.
So far, doesn’t look like it. We shall see with the definitive results this evening I presume.
I was referring to what I could see directly where I live, apparently yes, low turnout. But this time it seems the commies stayed home.
Never underestimate their ability to STEAL.
Before you all get too excited over Meloni, remember she is FULL on board with Ukraine and sending them more money and weapons.
She will probably turn out to be an Italian RINO.
Ukraine is the litmus test for intelligence and true independent thinking.
She has failed that test as of up to now.
So far she is siding with the EU/NATO/US/UK/WEF lunatics on this crucial world changing issue.
Most of you on here are Americans, having seen the utter betrayal of the conservative position year after year after year by the GOPe that you keep electing back to office I thought you would know better than to hail somebody as a saviour before they have even set one foot in the door.
I’m an Italian.
And I proudly voted for her.
Meloni absolutely refused to be a part of President of the European Central Bank EU stooge Draghi’s corrupt government while Salvini did not. THUS Meloni inherited all of Salvini’s support.
Italy has never had someone so far to the right since before World War II.
I don’t like her support of Ukraine but I’ll take it.
The Communist Party is huge in Italy.
Educate yourself.

Perhaps it is time for the countries of Europe to exert their nationalism to stop the invasion of the adherents to the religion of peace as the EU is not doing anything to stop the invasion.
The Hungarians have done it, and continue to keep alive their nationalism, and not letting the EU dictate to them. After decades of dictators they are soured to having others telling them what to do.
Italy is not the only country in that worthless union that has had enough of being bullied.
To many around the world have seen what can happen when they elect someone who puts them first and bows to no other
I’m damn sure she wasn’t elected to run the Italian government. Walk her into the streets and a boot in the behind to get her moving on with her life.

Not a very big crowd.
Maybe more next time?
I am reminded of the immortal words of Mr Joseph Stalin when he asked of the Vatican how many divisions do they have? The answer for the EU is zero. Just as it was for the Vatican. Italy will walk away from the EU. Just watch.
In the first video she represents the smiling face of misery, suffering and death.
I guess it takes the skills of a genocidal capable psychopath to threaten a nation in that manner.
I noticed that she sure did blink a lot in the vid.
Maybe she was blinking morse-code “I am being held hostage by klaus and george and am getting anal-raped daily but don’t send in a rescue team too soon.”?
These countries voted to be members of this EU, one world government, and they deserve what they get. I do hope, however, those countris being bullied and blackmailed, will stand up ,and get the heck out of the EU!
Remember that Europeans were sold the idea that this was an economic trade group to facilitate transactions and movement between sovereign nations.
IMO, that is similar to GOP pretending to vote down Obamacare until it mattered and could succeed – then the last McCain vote that has kept us enslaved to it.
Liars lying to enslave the listener.
Also similar to the ruse called NAFTA.
Poland, Austria, Solvakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Italy – praying for all the people in that “Corridor” –
if Ursula was also threatening Poland and Hungary, with her “we have the tools” is that really very brilliant of her to do so?
Did she ever hear about Dale Carnegie and “How to Win Friends and Influence People”?
She has no business being a so-called “leader” when she threatens “get back in the car or I will beat you up even harder when we get home!” Wait a minute – if I am not in the car, I won’t be THERE for you to beat me up – hasta la vista, baby!
What tools?
Good to see Sweden & Canada finally getting smart too.
Oh? I’d appreciate viewing some of that!
How naïve of you to assume that the elections were fair and accurate.
And Californians deserve what they have because “we voted for it” too, I assume.
California is still a red state. The progressives, i.e. communists, count the votes.
Hopefully countries in the EU will wake up and get the heck out! Then they will have more money for their own Countries and their own people. Stop sending your money to the power hungry Communists running the EU!
All the fake news outlets in the UK class her as far right – the guardian, times, telegraph, bbc all scream the lefts mantra.
Here is her statements in the Wash Post about where her party rests on important National matters…
“She describes herself and Fratelli d’Italia — Brothers of Italy, a name that echoes lyrics in the national anthem — as conservative. “There’s no doubt that our values are conservative ones,” she told The Washington Post. “The issue of individual freedom, private enterprise in economy, educational freedom, the centrality of family and its role in our society, the protection of borders from unchecked immigration, the defense of the Italian national identity — these are the matters that we preoccupy ourselves with.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/09/25/giorgia-meloni-italy-elections-2022/
Nothing far right in that statement if you ask me!
That seems to be a common problem – voters keep getting it wrong.
As the old saying goes, “power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely”. This is the EU.
President Trump showed the way. Now it’s spreading and the Establishment is terrified. A cornered rat is the most dangerous.
Praying along with you Betsy Jones!
Seems to me wars in Europe have been started over less.
This EU chick is giving Nurse Ratchet and Hillary a run for the money for most vile and evil. The EU chick even deleted a bunch of her Pfizer emails.
We have a neck and neck horse race going on here.
Dark horse Nancy is fading fast. The Witch from NY and the Wicked Witch of NZ are also falling behind.
Liz-ard Cheney and Beetlejuice are bringing up the rear.
Don’t bet against Horseface AOC though. Still time for her to turn on the green jets.
Alex on the Duran calls her Ursula von der Crazy. 🎯
The EU must be totally dismantled. Sovereignty has to be restored to individual countries. .
This was the WEF’s first step into their big reset and one whirled order!
Is that considered election interference?
Back in the late eighties an Austrian friend said the idea of a European union was a bad one. She predicted then exactly what has happened. At the time Austria was not keen on the idea. I would love to see what she thinks today. Brexit, of course, was the first crack. Sweden has also elected a right-wing government. Americans should be paying close attention to what is going on in Europe. May God give us all strength.
Hey lefties… don’t you just LOVE Fascism? Hitler had “tools” also. Is that what she means?
Meloni wins
Bravissima !
https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/melonis-right-wing-alliance-wins-clear-majority-italian-elections
Exit polls say the right won! Take that you rotten EU/WEF scum!!
You know, I never see the term “Ultra Left Wing Communist” attached to the ‘factual’ entities parading around as politicians….
Looks like the Italians elected Ms. Meloni anyway, and gave the EU a big middle finger!
I’m old enough to remember what we were told the rationale for forming the EU was. We were told it was “a trading alliance” so there could be good trade deals between partner countries and commerce would go more smoothly. Plus, citizens could more freely decide to live or work in partner countries without all the bureaucratic red tape to go through. And just think of all the confusion that will go away when only one currency will be used.
Literally everyone saw this transition coming, right? The EU has become a complete failure. Now we have this Big Cheese in the EU literally threatening the citizens of Italy to vote as told or else…….. Or else what? Will the beatings/arrests begin in the streets again like in Mussolini’s time ? Will their bank accounts be frozen? Supplies of food or energy be cut off? Any country that is wise would do well to bail out of this nightmare organization. It’s obvious it’s purpose now is to bring about world Totalitarianism. We aren’t in the best of shape in the US either having undergone a stolen election by a Crime Syndicate who installed a demented imbecile with a pen who will do what he’s told to destroy America and promote world Communism.
Godspeed to all who are now fighting for their freedom from globalist Tyranny.
”If things go in a difficult direction (…)”
… you mean, for you… for the EU…
Repression is slowly being stepped up…
Delightful on the evening of the 25th to see the results of the NAZI Commissar von der Leyen’s nasty little
challenge to a Nation full of Italianos!
I will never forget the image of when they finally had enough of the same garbage out of Mussolini.
On a Day like THIS, That picture deserves to be shining from my post, if I only knew how to do it.

If only indeed! 😉
Haven’t mastered it myself either.
What will the Belgians do without EU bureaucratic jobs to keep them occupied? If the EU goes away, Brussels will be a ghost town.
Wow, the globalists just keep getting side-lined by these wonderful Nationalists! I LOVE it!
Nationalism is bad according to the left. Well, maybe all the sheethole countries around the world need a large dose of nationalism. Seems like the residents of non-nationalist countries have been flocking to all the most nationalist countries out there. Could it be nationalism is actually good?
You don’t suppose third world countries could stop their civil wars, or educate their citizens, or improve their standard of living, or extend their lifespan and health, if they were more nationalist and had a bit more pride in their own countries?
