I told you in my last posting, what an evil character leads one of our bigger political parties.
Now comes the part which is hard to comprehend:
There are people in Austria, who suggest that creating the trap into which he fell, is at least as bad,if not worse than what the trapped planned to do.
What is worse, at yesterdays "European Vote" his party lost only 1.63% of the vote. This means that over 18% of the voting public, do not mind being led by a group of right wing traitors.
And that's why I said: May the Gods preserve Austria.
There would be much more to say. Unfortunately I have not enough time. I am leaving tomorrow morning for Canada. I'll be there until about the middle of June.

May the Gods save Austria!
This is truly hard to
believe.
May the Gods protect
Austria.
The leader of the
so-called Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs (FPÖ), loosely
translated , The Liberty Party of Austria, one H.C. Strache and his
closest confidant, a Mr. Gudenus, were secretly taped at a meeting
with an alleged Niece of a Russian Oligarch, during which it was
freely discussed that this Russian Milliardair would, via foreign
ports, channel moneys to the FPÖ, which in itself would already be
an offence against the Laws of Austria.
In exchange for these
payments, this Foreign donor was supposed to establish a construction
company, similar to the Austrian firm, called STRABAG (one of
Europe's largest Roadbuilders).
Into this newly
established firm, solidly in Russian hands, all Austrian
road-building work would be channeled.
In fact, the Austrian
Businessman, who was „not ever“ to receive another contract was
mentioned by name. (Even if his Offer was better in quality and
price, it was implied that the Russian would get the contract.)
Further it was suggested
that this same mysterious lady and her backer was to purchase all
shares of one of the largest Austrian Newspapers, „Die Krone,“
which then would „push“ this ultra right wing Party in its
editorial coverage and otherwise would become the mouthpiece of the
FPÖ.
In addition to this, every attempt would be made to „privatize“
Austria's foremost Government operated Radio station, the ORF,
(Östereichischer Rundfunk) which then too could be used in the
interest of the FPÖ.
It must be considered that
this nefarious Mr. Strache is not only the Leader of this Right Wing
Party, but he is also, due to a Coalition Arrangement, Austria's Vice
Chancelor. In other words he is the second most important person in
the Government of Austria.
This man, who swore to
uphold the Laws of his country, was willing to sell at least two of
his Country's assets to a foreign power, in exchange for large
payments to his Party.
Even the manner of those
expected payments was discussed in some detail.
If, Strache suggested,
these payments came from one or several foreign sources, the actual
donor could never be traced and the crime would go undetected and
therefore unpunished.
This 6 hour long tape was
slipped to two German News Agencies, who promptly published the salient points thereof.
Discussing the manner in
which the transfers of such payments are to be made, „so that the
source could not be traced“ is a clear indicator that Austria's
Vice Chancellor,
HC Strache knew well that he was discussing a
criminal act.
The whole thing is such a
shameful attempt to sell your Country to foreign interests, for
personal and Party's gain that it defies all description.
The very sad thing about
it is not only the devious crookedness of some of our top
politicians, but that their primitive defense is supported by some
Austrian voters who even express the opinion that the trap into which
Strache and Gudenus fell was at least as morally condemnable as the
discussed immoral and criminal activities by these two political
bandits.
So, according to these soft brains, if Criminals plan a bank robbery, and law enforcement agencies listen in on their deliberations, the listening-in is as
immoral as the planning of the Bank Hold-Up.
Doesn't that make your
head spin?
(The only difference in
this simile is that we do not know who set the trap.
If, however, a rat falls
into a trap, I do not really care who set the trap.
What did Mr. Strache have
to say in his defense?
„I was under the
influence of Alcohol and, like a teenager, I bragged a little.“
The tape shows clearly
that he was totally sober. There was no slurring of his speech, or
any other indication of being less than in command of his senses.
In my layman's opinion,
Strache committed an act of planning High Treason.

finds it hard to believe the deviousness of some politicians.

What's New in the R.C.Church?
The Criminals are everywhere.
I
really thought that I was done with this bunch of hoodlums. that I
would never again write about them, no more than I write about the
late Al Capone and his nefarious carry-ons.
Although
I venture to say that Al, with his rum-running and murders did incomparably less harm to the world than this bunch of wolves in
clerical garb.
I
feel compelled to call out once more:
„Beware
of this group, which harbours and protects their own misbegotten
criminal members.“
It
is said that one of the most „Catholic“ of all European countries
is Poland.
A
country, in which the R.C. Church still carries more power and
influence than the elected Government.
And
what has happened there which persuades me to write again?
A
two hours lasting documentary, describing in great detail the crimes
committed by a number of Polish Priests, the sexual brutality with
which the victims are treated and then the instruction to the victim:
„Tell no-one! Not even in the confessional.“
Have
they forgotten what Christ said about him, who hurts a child, and a
brimstone?
Have
they forgotten, or don't they care, that a knowingly incomplete
confession does not count for an absolution from Sins and therefore condemns the confessing, should he die in this state, to everlasting
Hell?
I
do not think that they have forgotten. But they likely have never
themselves believed any of the gobbledygook nonsense which they spout
from their pulpits.
Then
we are treated to a demonstration of the utmost callousness by the
Archbishop of Gdansk, a Mr. Leszek who, when asked, states:
„I
have better things to do than watch this movie.“
What
better things has this man to do?
Does
he too have something to hide and does not want to be confronted by
an image of himself?
Does
he really have „better things to do“ than become aware of the
criminal behaviour of his staff?
Does
he truly have „better things to do“ than try to protect the
children of his flock?
At
least Pope Franciscus when told about this new revelation said that he
is „very concerned.“
„Very
Concerned“? Is this all he is? „Very Concerned?“
He
should be horrified, full of raging anger. He should slam his fist so
hard onto his pulpit that the tabernacle shakes and the Hosts, these
little wavers which they tell you are the real and true body of
Christ, spill out onto the desecrated floor of every church in every
land.
This
is the true opinion of

Vespas in Bleiburg
Here is the annual meeting of Vespa owners in Bleiburg.
I did not count them. But there were many.
They came from far and wide, from all over Lower Carinthia.

More "Sayings"
Animals, like Humans, experience
Joy, Pain, Happines and Unhappines.
The Art is to get up one more time
than you are being knocked down.
The People who subjugate another people
fashion their own chains.
The sayings of Darwin and Churchill are, of course,
eternal truths, as is the one uttered by Karl Marx.
Marx, however, should have thought of this saying before he issued his Economic Philosophy as expressed in his work "Das Kapital".
This, and his "Kommunist Manifesto" in short, suggest the abolishion of all private property.
And, if you even just glance at the History of Communism, you will note that in its name
more people (Countries) were brutally subjugated and deprived of all individual rights,
except for the one which made them slave for the State.
Here are but a few examples:
Russia and the entire "U.d.S.S.R., under Stalin and his successors,
China under Mao Tse Dung,
Cambodia, under Pol Pot
East Germany under Walter Ulbricht
There were, of courae, many more and they all failed miserably
in respect of the promised "Economic Paradise."
The philosopy of Karl Marx in each case had to be brutally and murderously inforced,
since it goes against the very grain of human desires and hopes.
Herewith just two of his innumerable quotes:
"From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." and
"The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence:
'Abolish all private property.'"
As a student of Economy in at least two Universities, he should really ask for his money back.
The earlier mentioned Quote should be modified a little:
"The People who accept the teachings of Karl Marx, have already fashioned their own chains."
Bertstravels
finds it hard to understand that there still are Communists in Western Society.

Apostolic Letter calls for
Battle
lines against Sexual Abuse:
Pope
Franciscus has called for an increased effort in the battle against
abuse of children and other vulnerable individuals.
He
called it: „Vos estis lux mundi“ ( You are the light of the
world.)
When
looked at carefully it is not much different from the Epistle of his
predecessor, Pope Benedict 16, who issued the proclamation that cases
of sexual abuse are not to be reported to civilian
authorities, but are to be dealt with within the juristiction of the
Roman Catholic Church.
If
I understand this correctly, Mr. Ratzinger placed his Church in a
higher field of authority and responsibility than the State in which
the crime had been committed, and where it should be prosecuted.
We
all know what happened after such a report to the „Authority of the
Church“.
The
miscreant was transferred to another Diocese where he could continue
his criminal activities unhindered and without fear of any
consequence.
The
number of Priests and other members of the Catholic Hirarchie who
actually faced time in jail, where they belong, is, I suspect,
infinitesimal when compared to the number of perpetrators.
And
now we are confronted by the cute saying:
„You
are the light of the world“ . ( some „light“ )
which
simply establishes Reporting Centres in each Diocese, to whose
attention such crimes are to be brought. There is still no mention of
the Police, the Prosecuting State Attournies or any other Civilian
Authority, charged with dealing with criminal activities.
Only
Officials of the Church are compelled to „forthwith“ report such
crimes and/or any effort to hush-up the crime and to protect the
criminal.
Simple
lay-members of the Church are under no compulsion to report the crime
to these „Reporting Centres“, and I cannot imagine a Priest
reporting a Priest or a Bishop, or a Bishop reporting a Priest.
Come
on, Francis, you can do better than establishing an internal
„Reporting Centre“ which, I suspect, will develope into a
„Hush-Up Centre“
Why
don't you come down with „Fire and Brimstone“ and tell them that
they shall all burn in Hell forever. Surely, if Non-Attendance of
Sunday-Mass is a deadly Sin, the buggering of little children should
be one too. Don't you think?
Bertstravels
freely admits that he has not read this
„Apostolic Letter“ but takes his information from an article in
the „Kleine Zeitung“ of Friday, 10th of May 2019. and
looks forward to reading the whole Writ.

Some smart guys said that! My commentary is not needed.
If the Good won't fight,
The Bad shall win.
At first they ignore you
then they laugh about you
then they fight you
and then you will win.

It happened not so long ago.
A survey held recently by Austrian News Publications and a Survey Institute arrived at a sad result:
Only some 48% of Austrian Youth are aware of the horrors of the Holocaust. And many of them have only a vague idea of what really happened between 1933 and 1945.
The crimes committed during this time by the "National Socialistische Deutsche Arbeiter Partei"
the NSDAP or, for short, the Nazi Party, in Germany, Austria and throughout Europe are so staggering, when rationally considered, that no even vaguely similar offences against humanity come to mind.
The numbers, listed below, are of Civilian Population only and do not include victims, civilian or military, of war actions.
These are people murdered in various ways during the approximately 12 years of Nazi Rule in Europe:
Jews 5,900,000
Sowiet Civilians (Not Jewish) 5,700,000
Sowiet Prisonors of War 3,000,000
Polish Civilians ( Non Jewish) 1,800,000
Serbian Civilians ( Non Jewish) 312,000
Institutionalized disabled Persons 250,000
Gypsis, Romas 220,000
Jehova's Witnesses ______ 2,000
Total 17,184,000
That is: Seventeen Millions and onehundredeightyfour thousand human beings.
Over 52% of Austria's Youth have no, or little idea about this universal slaughter.
Shame on our Generation... Shame on our educational system... shame on our teachers.

The View from my Studio door:
Much much more inviting than
Snow and Ice
Lying in a deck chair,
staring at the sky and clouds.
Still a little snow atop the Petzen
but the Dandylions ripe for blowing in the wind.
