Sclerosis -rigidity,the inability to adapt.
It is four weeks since the constitutionally legitimate Catalan regional government conducted its referendum on the question of independence from the Spanish state on October 1st.
Four weeks on, Carles Puigdemont the Catalan President faces the possibility of being arraigned by Spain's public prosecutor on charges of rebellion.Other elected members of the Catalan Assembly might also face similar charges.
These are prominent amongst the sombre notes being struck in a mounting cacophony of death knells sounding out across Europe announcing the temporal demise of the EU globalist tyranny.
The post- Francoist federal Spanish state has proven to be just as institutionally,politically and diplomatically sclerotic as its European Union mothership of whom it is the merest vassal.
Any reasonably adept political leadership, skilled in the arts of statecraft and the exigencies of realpolitik could have and would have negotiated a way out of the Catalan imbroglio before it had deteriorated to the state of it being such a quagmire as at present.
The Rajoy administration in Madrid is wholly incapable of overcoming, let alone partially resolving, its ingrained incompetence,hubris and stupidity.
Equally so the so-called European Union that was never intended to actually function as some kind of legitimate ueber-democracy.Hand wringing and the expression of vacuous platitudes and otiose cant long ago replaced actual Bismarckian/Bonapartist/Machiavellian purpose and intent.
And so we are stuck in the realm of quasi-idiots who utter inane drivel and all of whom want to enjoy an aspirational petty bourgeois lifestyle without wishing to deal with let alone encountering the vicissitudes of dialectical and historical materialism.
So far, at least, no-one has been tortured or shot over the Catalonia Affair.
Though quite what a public trial and all that will inevitably entail with the political mass media martyrdom of Puigdemont and his confederates is likely to achieve is at this stage unimaginable.
It is not something the Pendejos of Madrid quite had in mind when they put on their stupid tricorn hats and struck their venal poses in front of their mirror on a morning trying to convince themselves just how tough they were.

Remoaner metropolitan elitists have lots of friends in lots of high places both domestically and abroad who they can call on to intervene in the on going Brexit debate.
Or rather the debate on the contents of any negotiated settlement which the EU might wish to conclude prior to the advent of March 30 2019 by which time the UK shall have left the EU.
On Tuesday October 24 the seditionist Remain campaign wheeled out possibly one of the biggest guns it still hadn't got round to using.Michael Bloomberg -whose Bloomberg business celebrated the opening of its brand new London offices on Tuesday.
Which Politico online reported:-
Not necessarily a good example of the proverbial adage on " how to win friends and influence people ". Although prime metropolitan Labour elitist and Chief EU seditionist shill,Mayor of London Sadiq Khan was at the Bloomberg launch to receive his customary 30 pieces of silver. After all nobody else has tried quite so hard to betray our country as much as him.
Seeing as how putting in your proverbial two penn'orth is still in vogue,I got my retaliation in on the Monday:-

politicians who by and large failed to defend and uphold the ancient Rights and Liberties of the British people.
By great good fortune the Referendum on EU membership went against all experts' expectations and delivered a verdict that the UK leave the EU.
Having agreed beforehand that all parties accept the outcome as binding, the Labour Party in particular has spent its time deliberately
undermining the legitimacy of the referendum result and the process of withdrawal itself.
The calculated and cynical media onslaught against the all those who voted Leave has been the most egregious display of political hate mongering since Germany in the 1930's.
Stupid,under-privileged,uneducated,xenophobic bigots have been amongst the oft used terms deployed in particular by Labour MPs against their own constituents especially in those areas where the MP chose to back Remain.
From highly remunerated University Dons ,academics of every sort through to lavishly public sector funded artists and " creatives ",the plethora of anti-democratic rhetoric and demonisation of ordinary folk has known no bounds.

How much better can this really get?
Three days ago the general election in the Czech republic (Czechia) saw maverick billionaire Babis' ANO party come out on top with 30% of the vote. Generally, anti-EU, anti- mass immigration oriented parties made a strong showing.None of which is in the slightest bit good news for the European Union.
In Italy,the following day, two Northern League run provinces,Lombardy and Venetto held non-binding,advisory referendums on the question of seeking greater economic autonomy from Rome for those regions. The results were on the whole surprising and heartening to the proponents of greater regional autonomy.
The situation in Catalonia continues to deteriorate with the Rajoy administration in Madrid resorting to so-called constitutional powers,contained in their Article 155,to stymie the burgeoning and spontaneous pressure for Catalan independence.
The Bundestag in Germany has assembled for the first time since the AfD's spectacular gains and the SPD's historic reversals, and Merkel's putative coalition talks aren't expected to be resolved for some weeks yet to come.
In Austria the new Chancellor Kurz reckons it'll be December before agoverning coalition between his OVP and the FPO will be up and running.
Throw in the rapidly disintegrating talks on the UK's withdrawal in March 2019 from the EU and what confronts the globalist tyrants in Brussels isn't just some everyday problems but rather the labour of Sisyphus.
And we all know how that particular story in Greek mythology ended.
Schadenfreude , however is a German word.

Arch-bootlicker and Kowtowing Toady-in-Chief to the EU, Theresa May is at present sojourning in Brussels.
We know this to be the case as the Corporate MSM is currently reporting on the prevailing status of Brexit negotiations.
The term " negotiations " is purely an arbitrary one that's used for ease of reference. Imbroglio is nearer the mark.
Various pro and anti - brexit factional interests are in the throes of vying over the putative content of the much vaunted " deal " that might or might not be struck between the UK and the 27 remaining satrapies governing the former's exit from the EU.
And yet, despite the EU's very best propagandistic endeavours and the hundreds of millions spent on multimedia platform campaigns to persuade the British people otherwise, Brexit remains intact and the UK's impending departure from satrapydom is secure for the end of March 2019.
It is that straightforward. The Labour sponsored front organisation " The 3 Million " can whine and stamp its tiny feet and repeatedly chuck its toys from the pram as much it wants; nothing alters. We are leaving.
The Maastricht Treaty 1992 -which was never approved by the UK electorate- created the egregious legal fiction of " Citizen of the EU ". Just how you can be a citizen of a non-nation is itself a bizarre a notion as the human intellect could ever possibly have to deal with.
Nevertheless the EU created and our supine,spineless Parliament agreed to accept this legal impossibility a la Lewis Carroll's Humpty Dumpty " Words mean precisely what i want them to mean.." And ever since the EU Citizens were conjured into faux-existence,these cozening wretches have been going around slitting their morally superior consciences and bleeding them all over the rest of us.
Our contrite supplicant of a PM, has now gone along with this idiocy and caved in to this alien agitators' charter thus ceding a significant advantage to the EU side in the so-called negotiating process.Just how much more else she will hand over without a murmur before the end of March 2019 is open to strenuous conjecture. Quite a lot, one imagines.
So,on with the motley!

Just 72 hours on from Sunday October 15th's Austrian parliamentary elections and confidence and optimism for the future abounds.
It was a case of a lot more than just the " Subterranean Homesick Blues " for Austria's once pre-eminent Socialist party. Blue being the party colours of the Freiheitliche Partei who came within one seat of replacing the obsolescent SPO as Heimat's second party.
You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. It's blowing from the Right. Or rather more accurately from a rejuvenating populist mood that is being harnessed by forces once described in now moribund Cold War terms as being on the Right.
The complete elimination from Austria's Nationalrat of the irksome Greens provided an additional doubleplus feelgood factor to the awaited ascension to the Chancellorship of Sebastian Kurz.
The decrepit and increasingly dysfunctional European Union and its many and varied illegitimate and egregiously authoritarian institutions has been by a volley of damaging bodyshots from Elections all across its once supinely conformist satrapies since 2016.
Once again people are awakening to the prospects of a brighter sovereign future,albeit at a pace that still significantly hobbles their desires and longings for a speedy demise of the EU.
The UK's 23 June referendum put a flame to the trail of gunpowder.
The Netherlands and France saw not only a good increase of electoral support for the policies of Geert Wilders and Marine LePen, but it also signalled the accelerating historic demise of their respective Labour /Socialist parties and the burgeoning electoral irrelevance of other,what were once called "Left " forces.
The Left have signally failed to engage with and align themselves to the sea change in the popular mood against the neoliberal /globalist EU and for a re-establishment of nation states.
The German Bundestag elections hammered this crucial point firmly home.Out of nowhere the AfD scored a 1/8th share of the national vote and the antedeluvian SPD suffered its biggest slump ever.
And so we come back to Austria,to heimat.
Once the dust has settled , no doubt as with #brexit and the 52% who voted for it,the EU will get around to instigating and promoting its usual hallmark campaign of insidious slander and defamation against Austria's politicians and against Austria itself just as they're doing already against the UK.
No retreat, no surrender.

The Great War of 1914-18 didn't end with the Armistice of 1918.
Neither did it end after WW2, (the 1939-45 resumption of the Great War) was itself concluded.
All the subsequent divisions and animosities remain as unresolved today as they were post-1918 and 1945.
And that applies equally to " lesser " localised / regional conflicts that were tributaries to the main show.
At present,the main military conflict involving ISIS/Daesh appears to be hobbling toward some semblance of a cessation on the battlefields and in areas of civilian habitation across Iraq and Syria.
This is now appears to be the least of the existential dilemmas facing the region.
Iran ,Iraq and Turkey have reacted to the burgeoning unrest incited by the Kurdish regional regime's referendum on Kurdish independence by ways and means of a military response and diplomacy couched in terms of threats of economic sanctions.
Not that those three sovereign nation states are somehow necessarily acting in an unjust or reckless manner but rather in a timely and prudent manner in order to head off an even greater existential calamity withing the region.
The reckless, venal posturing of the US and its NATO /EU satrapies has provided the accelerant to this conflagration and will continue to provide it for all the conflicts yet to arise out of the present one unfolding today.
The post-Cold War era of the unipolar global hegemony of the US is over, it's just that the Washington neocons haven't come to terms with it yet.Perhaps they never will.
Ascribing some ephemeral,inherent moral virtue or superiority unique to one side among all the many sides, adds only another drop of accelerant to the impending conflagration.
Russia,Iran,Turkey and China all seem able to grasp this irrefutable aspect of Realpolitik and so go
about dealing with ultimately intractable problems in a reasonable and realistic manner.
On the other hand the US and its deluded liberal satrapies endlessly conjecture and habitually resort to megalomaniacal levels of violence and intimidation against all those nation states who disagree with washington's globalist worldview.
Kurdistan or rather its contemporary facsimile is the tumbleweed that's now getting blown about by the winds of change.Ancient genealogies and arcane vendettas are asserting their malign influence on a historic process that could,if all major parties were so minded be resolved- for however long or short a span of time - a la Berlin 1884 or Vienna 1815.

Either blatant crass stupidity or an inability to engage with,read and comprehend written english as regards Article 50 is having a widespread debilitating effect on the legions of Remoaner,metropolitan elitist,seditionist EU shills.
Their OCD driven campaign to sabotage,stop and annul the UK's withdrawal from the EU aka Brexit, has clearly impaired the Remoaners' cognitive functions to such a degree that they have all reverted to some pre-industrial primitivism where thaumaturgy and vocal appeals into the ether have substituted themselves for human intellectual reason.
And that is cause enough to celebrate the cathartic benefits, to the rest of us in civilised human society,of Schadenfreude!
Parliament was scheduled to undertake serious and grown up scrutiny and debate related to the ineluctable passage of the EU Withdrawal Bill.These proceedings has now been delayed due the submission of an unprecedented and inordinate amount of proposed amendments and putative additional clauses to the original legislation.
Not that any of it effects the assigned due date for the UK's termination of EU-Serfdom and satrapyhood -March 29 2019.
The European Union and its various democratically nebulous institutions,Council,Parliament et al are themselves struggling pitifully under a burden of bureaucratic and legalistic flim-flammery which only abject citizens born under the yoke of the precepts and practices of the wholly alien and absurdist Code Napoleon could possibly endure.
None of which effects the implementation of Article 50.
Michel Barnier, the EU's putative chief negotiator is clearly labouring under the illusion that by rigidly sticking to his masters' formula for conducting the withdrawal negotiations,that somehow this will impair,dissuade or discourage the UK government to such a degree that Brexit will to all intents and purposes never take place.
Again,this is the very best news that Brexiteers could possibly have.
The EU's insistence that the issues of " a divorce settlement ", EU citizens rights in the UK post- brexit and the future status of the Northern Ireland /Republic of Ireland's border arrangements are ALL to be settled to the EU's satisfaction prior to any trade negotiations commencing with the UK; is of course to be embraced!

Things really can only get better!
After the recent German federal elections and the even more impressively visceral imbroglio of the regional Catalan referendum, the European Union has now to address another impending controversy.This gleaned from euObserver online :-
( Their slightly cack-handed translated into euro-english online news snippet conflates just what exactly is being voted for in Austria.These are parliamentary elections and whoever is leader of the winning Party becomes Chancellor. )
Polls indicate that foreign minister Sebastian Kurz ( leader of the OVP -Peoples Party -) will win the crown, becoming the EU's youngest head of government at just 31 years old, with 34% of votes.
They also indicate that his centre-right People's Party will form a coalition with the far-right Freedom Party (25%).
But this time around, with similar sanctions in the air on Poland's anti-democratic government, the risk of deepening divisions in the Union could be too high to repeat the move. "
All of which is outstanding news and a cause no doubt for Te Deums to ring out across my Heimat.
Ah yes, 2000AD and the EU's most pernicious and unprecedented interference in the internal constitutional affairs of a member state.
One,incidentally they've used as a template in their meddlings in the UK's polity since the referendum Vote of June 2016.
But back to Austria and the broader context of the EU diplomatic boycott of one of its member states.
It was only in the previous year,1999,that the US and its NATO satrapies had completed their annihilation and dismemberment of what had been the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Across the EU we had Blair in the UK ,Chirac in France and Schroeder in Germany.
The participation of a newly vibrant and increasingly popular Freedom Party in the Austrian government as junior coalition partner provided another opportunity for the US to extend the scope of its busybodying after the earlier successful Yugoslav expedition.
The angle of attack,the spinning of this narrative, was predicated on the Freedom Party's leader Jorg Haider on the premise that (1) his Father had been a Nazi and (2) that Jorg Haider maintained an outlook sympathetic to the views his Father had espoused.
And that was it.
17 years on and parts of the then freshly dismembered Yugoslavia - Slovenia and Croatia are now EU satrapies as are most of the states inhabiting what was the territory of only just recently deceased Warsaw Pact/COMECON member states.
And of course the UK is or isn't actually in the throes of forsaking the EU for good;who knows at this stage.
The OVP with Kurz at the helm will in all probability join with the FPO in a governing coalition.The continent wide inexorable historic decline of Socialist parties such as the Austrian SPO will continue unabated.
Reason enough to cheer!

How to light the blue touchpaper in one easy lesson and what to do once its lit.
That just about sums up the entire Catalan independence imbroglio.
Following the recent catastrophic events in Catalunya, where the rest of the world was witness to the most nauseating scenes of Authoritarian-State depravity committed on the continent of Europe since WW2 ; events have taken a turn for the worse.If indeed such a thing were ever possible,then the Spanish State with King Felipe to the fore have achieved this nigh on impossible feat.
The Catalan Regional Parliament's scheduled session for Monday 9 October 2017 has been suspended by the Spanish Constitutional Court.To say that this has caused widespread consternation is to state the all too obvious.
But one needs to restate that now, in case at some future point in an as yet unwritten future scenario some Power redacts or alters the facts of this particular matter.And given the current direction of travel of the European Union and its constituent quasi-national satrapies, I wouldn't be too surprised at such an eventuality occurring.
With heretofore unimaginable courage and audacity the elected regionalist representatives advocating a free and independent sovereign nation state of Catalunya have taken the initiative in the war against the neoliberal/globalist ruling elites and their European Union.
According to latest MSM reports, the Catalan Parliament intends going ahead with its scheduled session on Monday 9 October. It is also highly likely that they will discuss and debate and perhaps even vote on the issue of a Declaration of Independence for Catalunya.
By suspending the Catalan Parliamentary session, the Spanish Constitutional Court has not only automatically de-legitimised the Rajoy government's own authority; it has left the supporters of a unified spanish state inside the EU hanging in a morally indefensible anti-democratic limbo.
And all the apparatus of the EU superstate and all the EU's kowtowing bootlickers such as the UK's three major parties, will be unable to put this particular humpty-dumpty back together again.
Long Live The Catalan People! Long Live Catalunya!!
That just about sums up the entire Catalan independence imbroglio.
Following the recent catastrophic events in Catalunya, where the rest of the world was witness to the most nauseating scenes of Authoritarian-State depravity committed on the continent of Europe since WW2 ; events have taken a turn for the worse.If indeed such a thing were ever possible,then the Spanish State with King Felipe to the fore have achieved this nigh on impossible feat.
The Catalan Regional Parliament's scheduled session for Monday 9 October 2017 has been suspended by the Spanish Constitutional Court.To say that this has caused widespread consternation is to state the all too obvious.
But one needs to restate that now, in case at some future point in an as yet unwritten future scenario some Power redacts or alters the facts of this particular matter.And given the current direction of travel of the European Union and its constituent quasi-national satrapies, I wouldn't be too surprised at such an eventuality occurring.

It is Monday 2 October and we're living in the historic aftermath of the events which unfolded across Catalonia on Sunday 1 October. Needless to say,( but we're going to say it anyhow ) all of which could quite easily have been avoided.
Social media erupted as social media is wont to do in comparison to the ailing corporate MSM, which spun the events as " clashes between.." and carried calls from the EU and its compliant commentariat for " both sides " to " de-escalate ".
The good thing is that corporate MSM no longer controls and directs the narrative nor the ensuing discourse as certainly or competently as it once did pre-social media.
The plethora of on-line video footage laid bare the capricious and often brutal behaviour of the Spanish Guardia Civil toward citizens of Barcelona and elsewhere in Catalunya going about their lawful business in wishing to exercise their inalienable democratic rights.
Globalist neoliberal Ruling elites all across the continent of Europe are getting seriously pissed off with their recalcitrant electorates.
First with #brexit ( more of which later in this post ) ,then with the excellent showing of the Freedom Party in Austria, Geert Wilders in Holland ,LePen in France and just the other week, the AfD in Germany. Each in turn has been characterised ( slandered and defamed ) by their electoral opponents as being the veritable nemesis of western civilisation and the destroyers of PC mutliculturalism ( which of course to that degree they earnestly aspire ).
Only the ideological progeny of Franco and inheritors of his soiled mantle, the Rajoy Regime in Madrid, has proven thus far to be intemperate and politically illiterate in addressing the challenge from the people against the neoliberal Authoritarian State.
Here in the UK on Sunday, at about the same time as many tens of thousands of law abiding Catalonians were being subjected to the armed violence of the State , the anti - #brexit front organisation " Stop Brexit " was holding a demonstration in Manchester where the Concservative Party conference was taking place.
The UK domiciled fraction of the cosmopolitan ruling elite learned long ago to use subtler methods when going about annulling the expressed democratic will of the British people.
They have the Labour Party and its lapdog trade unionist leadership entourage, the Conservative Party,LibDems,Greens, and virtually all the non-parliamentary Left to call on and those parties don't wear jackboots ,use batons or rubber bullets.
But the intended outcome of those parties' propaganda- weaponised command and control of the narrative,its interpretation and subsequent discourse- for the people is exactly the same. They want Brexit annulled,just as surely as " they " want the Catalan referendum annulled.
Though whether " they " necesssarliy " win " any argument in particular with whatever methodology they choose to deploy on given day in any given situation ; that, it seems, is still open to question.
On Sunday 1 October 2017 " their " mask slipped. The EU and all that it stands for and all its mainstream Parties supporters were nowhere to be seen.
The struggle continues.
Hail Brexit,Hail The Peoples' Victory!
