With Germany considering to re-introduce conscription, Hungarian news outlet Divány reviewed which countries across Europe enforce mandatory military service. While several countries are reintroducing compulsory military service, some EU politicians would welcome a uniform reintroduction across the EU. Hungarian news portal Divány has rounded up the countries that have reintroduced conscription. Professional armies are understaffed across the continent, as more and more European countries are recognizing. In recent weeks, not only EU leaders but also the leadership of the German Christian Democratic Party has brought up the idea of reintroducing compulsory military service. At its party congress at the beginning of May, the CDU adopted a proposal that young people should be obliged to serve for a certain period either in the army or the social sector. Manfred Weber, leader of the European People’s Party, made a similar statement recently, saying he would extend conscription to the whole continent. Germany abolished conscription in 2011, and this is what would be gradually rebuilt. The former compulsory military service would be reintroduced as a year of community service, either in the Bundeswehr or a social institution. The initiative would also open up the possibility for women to enter the military. The German government would reintroduce conscription based on several scenarios, making it compulsory for all 18-year-olds. The Swedish model is seen by many as an example, with all citizens in the Nordic country, both men and women, having to register and, at the same time, indicate their willingness to serve in the military. In Sweden, only a small proportion of those who are of age are actually conscripted into the army.Save 40% on our limited edition Brain Force Ultra that’s loaded with proprietary super ingredients! Germany is not the only country to revisit the idea of compulsory military service, with Denmark planning to introduce the recruitment of women in 2026. Military service is compulsory in the following European countries: Cyprus, Greece, Austria, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Cyprus, Denmark and Sweden. Latvia was the latest country to reintroduce the system, with all men aged between 18 and 27 having to re-enlist in 2023 for 11 months of compulsory service, just 16 years after its abolition, while military service is voluntary for women. The Baltic State’s decision was influenced by the Russian-Ukrainian war. Lithuania decided in 2015 to introduce compulsory military service, also in response to the geopolitical situation. Finland has also just decided on compulsory military service, with periods of 165, 255, or 347 days. From the age of 18, all men can be called up, and military service is compulsory until the age of 30, after which Finns are considered reservists. The Swedish example, already mentioned, is a curiosity in Europe, where women, in addition to men, can also enlist on the basis of their declaration. In Greece, military service is compulsory between the ages of 19 and 45, usually for 9-12 months, the length depending on the type of force, and in Cyprus it is compulsory for those over 18. In Denmark, the military service is similar to the abolished Hungarian system, with 18-year-olds having to serve for 4-12 months, which can be replaced by community service.  Those who wish to continue their education after secondary school can postpone their compulsory military service until the age of 25. In Austria, in a 2013 referendum, more than 59 percent of the population voted in favor of conscription, with all men having to serve for eight months, which can also be replaced by community service.

Italy under Giorgia Meloni joined Hungary, Croatia, and other European countries in resisting a new pro-LGBTQIAA2SP+ EU statement pushing for so-called ‘inclusive policies’ that promote homosexuality and transgenderism. (LifeSiteNews) — On May 17, the European Union released a statement by the High Representative on behalf of the EU for the so-called “International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia.” It was a declaration of the new Western values, calling on countries everywhere to “focus on fighting inequalities and multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination” to ensure that “justice” will “apply to everyone regardless of their actual or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity.”  The EU further declared that:  On IDAHOT Day, and every day, we call on governments around the world to repeal discriminatory legislation, take action to tackle and eliminate hate crimes and hate speech, prevent all forms of violence against LGBTI persons [sic], and tackle structural and institutional barriers and biases that still limit the participation of LGBTI persons [sic] in decision-making and political processes… The EU continues to work with partners on inclusive laws and policies.  At this point, internationally recognized “LGBT awareness periods” occupy much of the calendar year, making up a sort of post-Christian liturgical cycle. May 19 is “Agender Pride Day”; April 6 is “International Asexuality Day” (in which everyone presumably leaves each other alone); September 16-22 is “Bisexual Awareness Week,” followed by “Celebrate Bisexuality Day” on September 23; October 17-24 is “Genderfluid Visibility Week,” and July 19 is “Drag Day.” There are 26 internationally recognized “LGBT awareness” days (or weeks), with some countries having plenty of domestic days as well. Canada has moved from a four-week “Pride Month” to a four-month “Pride Season.” Federally funded, of course.  Notably, not all EU countries signed off on the recent declaration of fealty and obeisance to the LGBT agenda. Nine countries refused to sign, including more conservative countries such as Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Latvia, and Lithuania, but also Slovakia, the Czech Republic and, most surprisingly, Italy. The decision provoked fury amongst Italian LGBT activists and left-wing politicians, who launched protests against the Meloni government over the decision. (Press reports referred to these protests as “widespread,” but this seems to be an exaggeration intended to pressure the government rather than a report on reality.) Save 10% on ALL storable food and Alexapure Pro Water Filtration Systems! Secure your independence with our delicious kits TODAY to beat the coming demand! The declaration, although non-binding, was significant, as it was essentially a promise from the signatory states to, as one outlet noted, work on “implementing national strategies for LGBTQ+ people [sic] and appointing a new EU Commissioner for Equality following the upcoming EU parliamentary elections.” The declaration is, undoubtedly, a coup for the LGBT activists in Brussels, and thus the dissident countries faced enormous opprobrium. Family Minister Eugene Rocella, however, defended her government’s position in an interview with Il Messaggero.  Rocella stated that everyone can choose who to “have sexual relations with.” “But the freedom to ‘be who you want to be’ advocated in the document is an ideological constraint and a denial of reality because the reality of the body and sexual affiliation cannot be changed to the end,” she added. In short, Meloni’s government has realized what other politicians have been slower to identify – that the LGBT movement is demanding that even biological boundaries be eliminated in law.  “I think the so-called gender binarism should continue to apply: There are women, and there are men,” Rocella noted. “We want to preserve the anthropology on which parenthood and the continuity of humanity are based because if you abolish men and women, parenthood also changes, and you shouldn’t be surprised if no more children are conceived.” While Rocella stated that the Meloni government has no problem with people getting “sex change” surgeries if they choose, they are not willing to accept gender ideology wholesale.   “They are trying to deny not only biology but also the body, which is based on the gender difference between men and women,” Rocella concluded. She’s right, and the outrage of LGBT activists indicates that they are concerned about this expression of common sense. In an increasing number of European countries, the transgender movement’s advance has been halted after a decade of nearly unimpeded progress and the colonization of wide swathes of the calendar. Perhaps Italy’s opting out is a sign of things to come.   EXCLUSIVE: Syrian Girl Reveals How Escalations In The Middle East Could Ignite Mankind’s Final War

WHO planning more pandemics, weaponizing science and propaganda to control people and depopulate Earth. The World Health Organization (WHO) body of experts are set to convene in Geneva, Switzerland, at their 77th World Health Assembly from May 27 to June 1, 2024. At the assembly, WHO’s member countries will cast their votes on the final version of the agency’s “pandemic agreement.” This agreement will give the beleaguered agency more power over sovereign nations, including the power to order targeted lockdowns and mitigation measures. The agreement will allow a global body of experts to use surveillance tools and implement broader mandates for PCR testing, masks, so-called vaccines and other countermeasures. Right now WHO is developing a standardized algorithm to quantify airborne transmission risk to dictate public policies on human interactions. WHO’s psychotic ARIA tool doubles down on germaphobia, analyzes aerosols and micromanages human activity WHO is currently collaborating with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) to develop an online tool [PDF] that will evaluate and predict risks associated with future airborne virus transmission across various public and private settings. This surveillance tool, named ARIA, will model the hypothetical spread of airborne pathogens in indoor settings, so WHO can craft precise directives on mitigation measures for business owners, households, healthcare centers and others indoor venues. According to WHO, ARIA was developed by “a global group of experts” who conducted a “comprehensive review of the scientific literature.” Again and again, we are told to “trust the experts” – even though WHO’s guidance has caused significant damage to families, economies and livelihoods worldwide. The ARIA tool is a psychotic doubling down of the germaphobia, social distancing, human isolation and mental illness behavioral training that took place during the covid-19 scandal. In their formulas, the WHO experts break down the “expiratory activity” of talking, speaking, singing and shouting, and analyze its impact on spreading viruses. The experts discuss issues like “volumetric particle emission concentration” and the “gravitational settlement” of aerosol particles from people who are sitting and/or standing. According to the tool, controlling household size and ensuring societal compliance with mask mandates is important for determining spread.URGENT! Keep Alex Jones in the fight against the NWO! Please pray & contribute at DefendJones.com today! From ARIA: “In the absence of mask mandates, the compliance of face coverings is an important parameter, hence the exact quantification of the risk reduction provided by the use of face coverings is highly dependent on the level of compliance.” The tool was obviously designed by people who would be better off living their paranoid lives isolated in a padded room. The tool delves into the concept of “particle deposition” which they claim “is primarily governed by the mechanisms of inertial impaction, gravitational sedimentation, Brownian diffusion, and, to a lesser extent, by turbulence, electrostatic precipitation, and interception.” WHO planning more pandemics, weaponizing science and propaganda to control people and depopulate Earth The WHO “experts” lay out a formula to understand how unseen particles in the air are influenced by various factors that they concocted. In their mentally insane attempt to govern the particles in the air – and in their wild delusion that they can somehow control viruses – the WHO experts seek to collect data on people, surveil and control every human activity. As they collect this data, they will only seek to micromanage every last particle in the air and dictate how people interact with those particles for the collective “good of all.” WHO’s ARIA tool is beyond Orwellian. Behind all the formulas and “science” is a global technocracy that seeks to control people, to strip individuals of autonomy and threaten their lives at every turn. Jeremy Farrar, WHO Chief Scientist, is certain that this tool will bring clarity for addressing future pandemics: Together with a very diverse range of leading public health agencies and experts across multiple disciplines, we are pleased to have been able to address this complex and timely issue and reach a consensus. The agreed terminology for pathogens that transmit through the air will help set a new path for research agendas and implementation of public health interventions to identify, communicate and respond to existing and new pathogens. The WHO has proven to be a totalitarian nightmare of a bureaucracy. Without accountability and without a complete repudiation of their tactics, we will see more pandemic propaganda and societal controls in the near future, coupled with more predatory “vaccine” depopulation efforts. We’re all involved in this war, whether we like it or not, so we must get used to being called “anti-science” and an “anti-vaxxer.” We must be prepared to say NO to all breaches of liberty and sanity, and be willing to defend our lives and our families at all costs.

Raisa Blommestijn received a summons from the Dutch public prosecutor to answer accusations of "inciting hatred" after commenting on viral footage of a defenseless white victim being attacked by a migrant gang in Amsterdam. Dutch conservative lawyer and presenter Raisa Blommestijn has revealed she is being prosecuted by authorities in the Netherlands for online criticism of mass immigration after commenting on viral footage of a defenseless Dutch boy being thrown onto a railway track by a gang of migrants. In a video published on X, Blommestijn confirmed she had received a summons from the Dutch public prosecutor to attend a court hearing in front of multiple judges on Aug. 19 to face charges of “racism” and “inciting hatred.” Remix News has translated the video, which can be viewed below.

Is this Europe you want for your children? pic.twitter.com/YqUBvXLG47— RadioGenoa (@RadioGenoa) May 19, 2024 Blommestijn explained how she had been subjected to a four-hour police interrogation for her remarks and that the authorities were now proceeding with a prosecution. “Until now, it was still unclear what would happen next with this case. Unfortunately, I can tell you that as of today, there is clarity. The sword of Damocles has fallen because this morning I found this letter in my letterbox. A letter that cannot be seen as anything other than a subpoena,” she told her followers on social media. “On Aug. 19, I will have to appear before the multiple sentencing chamber,” she added. Blommestijn accused her home country of “pretending to be a democracy, a country with freedom of speech,” and lamented the fact that politicians and commentators were being “persecuted for their political opinions,” for raising awareness of “social and political problems like mass migration, migrant violence, and repopulation.” Eva Vlaardingerbroek, a fellow Dutch conservative commentator and good friend of Blommestijn, warned how “political dissidents are being criminalized in my country.” The latest development continues a concerning trend across Western Europe of conservative activists being prosecuted for denouncing the liberal immigration policies of their respective governments and showcasing the effect they have had on society. Earlier this month, three former members of Belgium’s “Nation” party were convicted for Facebook posts in which they compared the Brussels region of Molenbeek to Africa and called on the Belgian government to put “our people first.” Similarly in Germany, Alternative for Germany (AfD) politician Marie-Thérèse Kaiser was convicted this month and fined €6,000 for publishing gang rape statistics in response to news that Afghan migrants would be moved to her district. The 27-year-old politician was found guilty in the Verden regional court in Lower Saxony for “inciting hatred” against local Afghan workers. Although these incidents are becoming increasingly more commonplace ahead of next month’s hotly contested European elections, in which right-wing parties are expected to increase their number of seats in Strasbourg, persecution of conservative activists highlighting these issues has been happening for some time. In Sweden back in 2022, Prof. Kristina Sundquist from Sweden’s Lund University, who was the most cited professor at her university regarding social research, was investigated and faced prosecution for publishing an unauthorized research report that concluded the vast majority of rapes in the country were committed by immigrants.

The department's drone technology could also be used in other criminal investigations and chases in the future. Bensalem Police Department in Bensalem Township, Pennsylvania, has resorted to using advanced drone technology to address theft and other petty crimes in the area efficiently. The department recently released footage of drones tracking down and helping catch suspected robbers to WPVI, a local ABC News affiliate. The township is located just 30 minutes northeast of Philadelphia. Detective Glenn Vandegrift said their “small fleet” of drones is part of a Bensalem Secure Task Force that was formed to deal with the growing number of retail theft issues in the area. According to Bensalem Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Bob Norkus, the task force aims to bring the business community together in collaboration with law enforcement to reduce theft with practical and sustainable solutions. In 2023, the county reported at least 900 retail thefts. The figure is up by nearly 50 percent just four years prior in 2019, when the county reported only 484 retail theft incidents. (Related: NY Home Depot deploys guard dog to protect shoppers from aggressive migrants and thieves in the parking lot.)URGENT! Keep Alex Jones in the fight against the NWO! Please pray & contribute at DefendJones.com today! The police department claims its drones are effective thanks to the speed at which they can be dispatched and locate suspects. And since the drones are “airflown” and not restricted by traffic patterns or traditional road routes, the police said an operator can usually get a device on the scene within two minutes. Vandegrift shared that the department’s clearance rate for retail thefts is 62 percent. The detective hopes that the success of his department can help inspire other departments to invest in efficient drone technology. How the drones work When a call is made about a shoplifting incident, the Bensalem police quickly dispatch a drone. Each drone is equipped with a camera that allows real-time footage and video recording to search for and go after the suspect. Once the drone operator locates a thief, the department tracks the suspect until law enforcement officers on the ground can apprehend them. In one instance, a thief who stole a bicycle was caught using one of the drones. The police received a description of the thief, the bike and the location of the incident. Soon after, a drone was able to successfully locate and follow the suspect. Using the information sent to the department, the responding officer made the arrest less than a mile away from the shop that was burgled. The suspect of another undisclosed crime was also seen being arrested in drone footage from the department. Vandegrift said that the perpetrator “would have been able to get away if the drone was not involved.” The video showed the fleeing suspected thief looking over his shoulder as he ran through a parking lot before crossing the road. But after he made his way across the road, two police cars then pulled up and officers jumped out to apprehend him. Others may think that this is an excessive amount of effort for shoplifting, but Vandegrift believes that it is enough to help reduce crime in the area. “It doesn’t matter if it’s $20 or $200, we’re coming at you just as hard,” shared Vandegrift. The department’s drone technology could also be used in other criminal investigations and chases in the future. The Bensalem Secure Task Force is a collaboration between Bensalem police, local officials and the Bucks County District Attorney’s office. Their combined efforts go beyond drones and shoplifting in the area. EXCLUSIVE: Syrian Girl Reveals How Escalations In The Middle East Could Ignite Mankind’s Final War
