‘Football Hooligans’? what a bs … just name the beast by what these “protestors” are!
Brussels police clash with far-right mob at attacks shrine | France24 |
Belgian riot police fired water cannon on Sunday to disperse far-right football hooligans who disrupted mourners at a shrine for victims of the Brussels attacks, as police arrested several suspects in a series of new raids.
In scenes that compounded a week of grief for Belgians, black-clad protesters shouting anti-immigrant slogans moved in on the makeshift memorial at Place de la Bourse where hundreds of people had gathered in a show of solidarity.
The clashes between the far-right demonstrators and police underscored the tensions in Belgium after Tuesday’s Islamic State suicide attacks on the airport and the metro system in which 28 people died and 340 were wounded.
“This is our home” and “The state, Daesh accomplice” around 300 hooligans chanted, using an alternate term for IS, as they gathered near the square by the stock exchange building, AFP journalists witnessed.
Some trampled on the carpet of flowers, candles and messages left at the site by mourners in recent days while at least one wore a mask with a well-known far-right symbol.

Police urged the mourners, who included some Muslims, not to provoke the hooligans, but some chanted “Fascists! Fascists! We’re not having it!”
Riot police with helmets and shields corralled the hooligans before dispersing them with high power water jets, and marshalling them onto trains out of the city.
Brussels mayor Yvan Mayeur said police had done “nothing” to stop the hooligans coming to Brussels despite having advance warning, adding that he was “appalled” that “such thugs have come to provoke residents at the site of their memorial.”
The mourners gathered despite the fact that organisers had earlier called off a “March Against Fear” in Brussels on Easter Sunday at the request of Belgian authorities, who said police needed the resources for the attacks investigation.

Before anti-immigration and Islamophobia took roots in The Netherlands with Geert Wilders and Ayaan Hirshi Ali, the Flemish Nationalists in Belgium were already active to provoke and divide the bilingual nation: French of Wallonia and Dutch in the Flemish parts. It doesn’t take a prophet to foresee the misery surrounding us today!
All great dictators in history had their “enforcers” … Donald Trump is leading the pack with inciting violence against protestors. Revolution is in the air, why not? US politicians have wreaked havoc in Washington DC with an approval rating in the low teens. A worst performer of any profession where the people’s representatives should stand out in humility and candor.
Bernie Sanders had the “feel” of the times for a political revolution – if Donald doesn’t get his way at the Republican convention, his followers should “riot” – even Ted Cruz, the Republican candidate closest to Trump’s Tea Party policies, foresees a “revolt” at a contested convention that brokers a third nominee.
Let’s not forget, Adolf Hitler did not invent fascism, he read the anquish of the German people and rode the waves of discontent. Bullying and propaganda did the rest … with unique situation of the digital age and social media, the Goebbels of today are having a field day. All state institutions and foreign states have joined this ugly form of misleading its citizens.
Nazi doctrine and the black thugs:
○ Italian fascism, Mussolini and the Blackshirts
○ Kristallnacht Pogrom where Hitler Youth, stormtroopers, and other thugs torched hundreds of synagogues and homes
○ Right-wing protesters march through Kiev, Ukraine
In that “great” country The Netherlands which had proclaimed to be exceptionally liberal, open-minded and tolerant, a monster Geert Wilders has taken center stage and is leading the polls to became the next Dutch prime minister. He has a broad base in society, however it started with the bigots, anti-immigrants thugs of the football hooligans. These thugs abuse people, go upfront in protests to reject homes for asylum seekers fleeing the warzone of Syria. Politician Geert Wilders will once again go on trial in 2016 for indiscriminatory remarks against Dutch citizens of Moroccan descent. He is accused of inciting hatred in a call for violence against the group as a whole. The football thugs and hooligans know no boundaries and the PSV Eindhoven thugs acted disgracefully in Madrid, Spain just a few days ago …

All other parties have moved to the right to avoid becoming irrelevant in Dutch politics. Principles don’t get you votes today! Another hallmark of a nation moving towards thuggery and fascism.
Cross-posted from my diary – Trump A Winner and Adelson In Pursuit.
“Kerry was asked out the impact abroad of the Republican campaign with its calls for bans on Muslim immigrants, surveillance of Muslim neighborhoods and the return of waterboarding, an interrogation practice regarded as torture.”
US politics is lagging the manifestation of right-wing fascism and idiocy … after 9/11 Islamophobia was spreading from the state of Israel outward. Anti-immigration parties have become mainstream across Europe. NATO policy of agression in Libya and in Eastern Europe did the rest. Because of austerity measures, The Netherlands has cut its budget for development of third world countries in half … NATO is now putting political pressure on European states to (nearly) double its defense spending. [Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, United Technologies must have done their homework and have multiple projects ready to be signed]
The failure in Syria and the Turks who are using the refugees as a scourge for Europe, have done the rest. As a renewed bombing campaign (earlier it was Al Qaeda) across the capitals in Europe, it not only splits “Old” and “New” Europe [thank you Rumsfeld] but has cemented a strong right-wing party system.
The dumb 51% already exists in Europe … Geert Wilders as prime minister anyone?
John Kerry should be the last person to whine about this topic. Perhaps he could shed his tears on the shoulders of HRC, she knows all about Libya and the untimely death of Muammar Gaddafi. Also the overthrow of Assad was Neocon policy continued under the responsibility of Obama. With Easter we have to thank a former KGB agent for saving Orthodox Christians and minorities in Syria as the SAA reconquers Palmyra.
What does the bible say as parable: “Reaping what you sow?”
I call it blow-back. War is a poison for society and human kind. It was so much easier for European leaders to go along with Barack Obama as president after eight years of George Bush. Too bad Obama didn’t rid his administration of neocon advisors.

US media covers the death of IS second in command … what a bs.
