Saxons in Romania

The first Bulgarian empire was thought to be around 893. The magyars, now known as Hungarians invaded the land of the lower Danube, present day Romania, thought to be in the 830’s, possibly following a feud with the Bulgars. One prominent group, the Székelys claimed to be descendants of Attila the Hun. The integration of Transylvania into the székely nation of Hungary reportedly began around 1003.

Reportedly the peasant wars occured in Romania, Germany and elsewhere in europe. The Transylvanian uprising thought to be of the indigenous population began from local disturbances and was reportedly opposed to both saxon and Romanian nobility, though this is disputed. The protests were concerned with poverty and freedoms. Non payment of rent and taxes resulted in ownership known as serfdom. Some salt mine workers and poor town people are said to have joined the revolt. Saxon troops lead by székely counts were quelling rebellions. By 1346 the catholic church in the area had reportedly made a pro protestant ally, a Hussite who was asked to help. Many székely assemblies occured, reportedly for judicial purposes. The Diet of Hungary conceded that Romanian nobility no longer had to pay tithes but poor people did.

Rebels marched to the town of Kolosvar and invaded and plundered the Báthrory estate, a Hungarian dynasty that ruled the military, church and administration. The Báthrorys had beaten Maximilian II to the throne. The rebels reportedly beheaded an unknown number of the gentry. Saxon leaders ordered a blockade which resulted in famine and defeat. According to documentation nine leaders of the revolt were executed, rebel groups were annihilated and those meant to be defending Kolosvar mutilated.

Rents were raised and saxons were accused of being unable to control the peasants. Bishop Lépes tried to help though the region was autonomous. He advocated a conference rather than military action. The peasants sent four envoys who reportedly asked for freedom from serfdom and an end to the abuses occurring on collection of rents. The envoys were tortured and murdered. A second agreement suggested delegates from the saxons and the peasants, thought to be Romanian, travel to the king in Prague so that he could arbitrate. Romanians asked for their freedoms back, freedoms they said were curtailed by every kind of subterfuge. The meeting is not thought to have occurred.

France and the nuclear question

According to reports Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, former president of France passed away on 2 December 2020 at the age of 94. His father had been a finance minister in France for Germany, thought to be around the time of the first world war. May have been saxon. He is believed to have married a french girl. Reportedly Valéry began a career in politics in 1953. He quickly ascended and became the youngest ever finance minister. At the age of 34 in 1974, a time of European recession he became president of France. He is said to have cut public spending, controlled wages and expanded France’s nuclear program; often said to be mainly for the generation of electricity, though according to reports France was nuclear testing in the Pacific throughout this period and since. Valéry Giscard d’Estaing lost the support of president Charles de Gaulle, and on leaving his position he is said to have campaigned against de Gaulle who was succeeded by Georges Pompidou in 1969. He was reinstated and became a conservative candidate. In 1974 at the age of 48 he won the presidency from the socialist alliance.

Austerity measures and high unemployment meant poverty. His re-election campagn which focused on the economy and as called nuclear independence failed. Socialism was said to have returned to France in 1981 under Françoise Mitterband, Unbelievably Françoise Mitterband is said to have started as nationalist right wing. May have been an attempt to influence socialist France. He reportedly served under the Vichy regime. In 1940 with the defeat of France in the second world war,” an agreement was reportedly signed between Germany and members of the french government, though Paul Reynaud resigned as prime minister rather than sign the armistice which transformed the republic into an authoritarian state accused of collaborating with Nazi Germany.

The bombing of the Rainbow Warrior occurred during Françoise Mitterband’s presidency. The incident occurred because the Warrior was said to be following a french military ship involved in nuclear tests on the island of Moruroa in Polynesia where testing reportedly began in 1966. Two bombs were said to have been planted by french agents in Auckland harbour. One man, Fernando Pereira lost his life. Two french agents were caught by New Zealand police. They pleaded guilty to manslaughter and were sentenced to 10 years imprisonment. France reportedly threatened an economic embargo of New Zealand exports to the then eec if they weren’t released. France, a member of the u.n. may have even been working under u.n. protocol. According to various reports the u.s. and u.k. have similar involvement. Nuclear testing in the Pacific is believed to have begun in the 1940’s and according to some reports ceased in 1996. This is untrue.

All communication with the u.n. regarding the incident was to refer to a breach of international law rather than an act of terrorism. According to a report the agents were said to have been imprisoned near a military base on a coral reef on the Toamotu Islands, believed to be involved in the tests, and released a little over two years later. Though no more news of nuclear testing, reportedly the island of Moruroa is guarded.

Nuclear testing has resulted in a high incidence of leukemia and other cancers of the thyroid, lung and breast. Other consequences are displaced populations and loss of home and environment.

Social Democrats win Romanian election

According to reports the psd or social democrats have won the election in Romania by a narrow margin of 1.5% over the previously presiding pnl who were criticised for covid restrictions which closed the shops and markets where Romanian goods were sold, the closing of schools, the health care system and for millions of infected masks that are said to have pervaded the market: According to figures, the covid pandemic has resulted in over 12,000 deaths in Romania

According to a report the psd were ousted from power in 2019 after attempting to extend government influence over the judiciary.

Deal or no deal

According to reports a deal between the eu and the u.k. is conditional on issues of governance, fishing rights and a level playing field for business. On governance issues, chiefly the u.k don’t wish to reform their banking legislation, reportedly the main reason for their exit from the eu. Governance issues may include conforming to eu standards in other areas, such as social welfare for instance. Britain has the lowest unemployment benefit in the eu. Another area concerning the eu according to media is fishing rights. Obviously Europe will have no future fishing rights in British waters, so are the real issues being papered over?

Britain’s concerns, apart from tariffs are what the uk term as northern Ireland protocol. Seemingly no border between north and south, or hard border as described. A permeable border has been suggested by the Irish government.

Unionists will veto border checks

The uk are due to leave the eu trading regime at the end of 2020 and discussions will seemingly continue this week. Fisheries is reportedly one topic on the agenda, but what would constitute British waters in former agreements? Possibly waters belonging to members of the commonwealth and perhaps other agreements. Eu access to these waters may have been an incentive. Logically this has to cease.

The eu are talking about fair competition. The uk’s main issue may be their exit from the customs union. According to reports the single market may be difficult to govern, northern Ireland have reportedly been given a concession to remain by the eu commision, and told to veto any border checks by the uk government. From next year, tariffs and import charges will affect businesses who usually trade with the uk, who should find other trade partners within the eu. Extra inter-Europe ferries are being planned, but it is thought they will have to circumnavigate British waters.

Government meeting with nphet

According to a report a meeting went ahead with the as called national public health emergency team this week via zoom. The health service executive and various government officials attended. Nphet reccomendations were that the hospitality sector should remain closed. The argument was that the opening of restaurants could push covid cases over the edge. Questions followed; the impact of restrictions versus outcome, Ireland compared to other eu countries, and hospitalisation and fatality figures.

Supreme court judge may overide government

The appointment of a new supreme court judge will be crucial to the government’s future success. The tánaiste, seemingly a non national has reportedly recommended someone. How many other far reaching decisions is he making on behalf of a supposed practical republican government?

Who’s supreme court?

According to a report Poland are vetoing the eu budget on the basis of the supreme court who reportedly hold power to supercede the government, though supreme courts are not believed to be an eu innitiative. Poland may be the most recent victim of the the takeover phenomena, thought to be the case in most places. Despite reports of Hungary complaining alongside along similar lines, according to a previous news report a Hungarian delegate assisted in their establishment.

Is covid a political issue?

Reports of an immunity to covid 19 in those previously exposed to middle eastern respiratory syndrome in largely unvaccinated Saudi Arabia indicates immunity built from exposure can encompass other strains, already prevalent in Denmark. Seemingly animals are at risk. Perhaps sub-standard conditions, food etc make them vulnerable.

According to a newspaper report, results of tests in Irish meat plants during the month of September/early October involving 300,000 samples showed 120,000 samples were infected with covid. No information found regarding further tests though covid restrictions continue to dominate social and business exchanges.

A suspicion was voiced that covid 19 may have escaped from a laboratory. Middle eastern respiratory syndrome might be linked to 9/11 for instance. Even Spanish flu is under scrutiny. Current restrictions are not believed by all to be necessary. Cases in Ireland are generally centred around ports indicating the virus probably also enters the republic from abroad.

Covid figures in Ireland show little need for hospitalization. The hundred plus new cases reported every day may have built up some immunity and/or be suffering from chronic symptoms. According to reports middle eastern respiratory syndrome left chronic symptoms.

The probability is that if anti-viral drugs aren’t used indiscriminately we will develop immunity. Yet if extreme restrictions on business and commerce continue, will we become subject to the IMF? The international monetary fund are known to have given loans to third world countries in place of payment for assets seized, and not enough to solve the water situation leading to people dying daily, up until this day.
