Recently the Prime Minister of Slovakia was shot, several times, after walking about in public, after a political meeting.
It is being said a Lone Wolf did this act of attempted murder.Well, it turns out the would-be assassin is a 71-yr-old poet by the name of ‘Juraj Cintula’ – a pacifist (?) who founded the ‘Movement Against Violence’.
— In 2016, while Cintula was promoting a political party he’d founded called the Movement Against Violence, he wrote online: “Violence is often a reaction of people, as a form of expression of ordinary discontent at the state of things. Let’s be dissatisfied, but not violent!”
While in a self-posted video at around the same time, he said: “The world is full of violence and weapons. People seem to be going crazy.”Strange behaviour for a pacifist, no?
GB News is also implying ‘it woz Russia wot did it’ (boo Russia!):
— Juraj Cintula, the 71-year-old charged with the attempted murder of Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico yesterday, has links to a pro-Russian paramilitary group in Slovakia, it has been reported.
Yet tellingly they’re more reluctant to draw attention to his neo-Nazi hatred of immigrants:
— Cintula was a supporter of the neo-Nazi Kotleba – People’s Party Our Slovakia (LSNS) party (even though the government accused him of being a Progressive Slovakia supporter), and he was well-known for his writing and for his anti-immigrant activism.

Blaming a pro-Russian neo-Nazi pacifist kind of complicates the political messaging, doesn’t it?
LOL first they blame Russia for “installing” Fico, then they blame Russia when the same guy is shot!?
An EU country’s leader has been shot, and of course it has to be about Putin
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico’s “pro-Russia” stance seems to be more important than the fact that he was attacked and the reason behind it

Even though:

That’s interesting, they are saying five shots were fired, one bullet lodged in a tree, so a lump has been cut out of that tree and taken away for forensics.

depicting a recent highpoint of British press culture:
“(…)The BBC meanwhile recalled Fico’s leading role in the ‘unruly and ugly’ demonstrations against the previous centre-right government, ‘rousing the angry crowds with megaphone in hand’. It claimed that he had ‘taken a sledgehammer to Slovakia’s institutions’, citing his closure of the Special Prosecutor’s Office and restructuring of the national broadcaster. Following a similar script, the Guardian likened Fico to Trump, and provided a rundown of his most ‘extreme positions’: ‘attacks on western allies, pledges to stop military support for Kyiv, criticism of sanctions on Russia and threats to veto any future NATO invitation for Ukraine.’ It noted that he had ‘worked hard to exploit the division between older, more conservative provincial voters and those in the capital, Bratislava, with its more progressive culture, and wealthier and often more educated population.’ This approach, we were told by outlets from the Telegraph to the Financial Times to Politico, had given rise to ‘polarization’ and ‘toxic politics’ which had culminated in the shooting.(…)”
It looks like about one fifth of what was Slovakia is now part of Western Ukraine,
with ethnic Slovaks, living under Ukraine.“Rachov was in the most easterly part of Czechoslovakia in the inter-war period. Today, it is part of western Ukraine and is located close to the Romanian border.
Until the end of World War I, Rachov belonged to the Austro-Hungarian empire. During the period between the two World Wars it was part of Czechoslovakia. In the course of World War II it was occupied by Hungary. At the end of the war it became part of the Ukrainian republic of U.S.S.R.”
Food for thought.
I have heard it said that ethnic minorities and unequally conscripted to fight for the Zelensky Regime.
In two days time the presidential term of Zelensky comes to an end.Good piece on Fico in the light of increasing EU troubles economically, politically,socially
“Assassination Attempt on Slovak PM Highlights Dangers of Constant EU Demonization of Project Ukraine Opponents and Hypocrisy of ‘Misinformation’ Crackdown

Fico is apparently no longer in immediate danger after being hit by four bullets last week, in the first major assassination attempt on a European political leader for more than 20 years.
I would have said it is too soon to say he will be O.K. longterm.
According to TASS news agency, the Georgian PM received a phone call by one unnamed EU commissioner with threats reminding him of Fico:
“(…)
As we spoke, the EU commissioner listed a whole range of measures that Western partners could take if the veto of the transparency law is overridden, and while listing these measures, he said, ‘You have seen what happened to Fico, and you should be very careful,'” Kobakhidze was quoted as saying in a statement from the Georgian cabinet.
(…)”So far I have no other source.
But this behaviour is of course common, even if it´s not being reported in our media.Up coming E.U. voting will be targeted by Russian interference and misinformation.
TFI Global: The Cost of Assassination Attempt on Robert Fico (23 May 2024) – YouTube, 5m 1s
Ursula is claiming that voting for conservative candidates who are against continuing the war with Russia in Ukraine, is undermining the liberal consensus of the European Union.
What about democracy?
Why should Ursula tell voters what to think or how to vote?Fico’s “Judas” Government, should have backed Ukraine.
“Juraj Cintula”, the man who allegedly shot Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico last week, didn’t mean to kill his victim — just to “damage his health” so he would be unable to continue as the country’s leader and pursue policies with which the shooter disagreed.

“As Fico approached a crowd of onlookers, Cintula fired five bullets at his lower abdomen, striking him four times.”
I can only assume that this poet is completely unhinged.
Prime minister FICO has been helicoptered to his flat in Bratislava for home recovery, he seems to be doing alright.
Kit Klarenberg has a new piece at The Grayzone where he writes about the possibility of westeern forces being implicated in the attempted assassination Robert Fico’s failed assassination raises specter of Western plotting.
“Apparently, Cintula’s (Facebook) profile was wiped before his identity had been reported in local media. Slovak authorities must now rely on the FBI to secure and provide the deleted information. Whether whatever is turned over will be unexpurgated is an open question.”
There is lots more in the piece.
Fico in his own words, as he recovers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd0xoK-Ow7k
quite powerful“The Slovakian prime minister Mr. Fico has made his first public appearance since being wounded in an assassination attempt. On Friday, Mr Fico spoke during a ceremony at Devin Castle in Bratislava to mark Saints Cyril and Methodius Day, a public holiday in Slovakia.
Cyril and Methodius were brothers credited with converting Slavic people in the region to Christianity in the 9th Century and creating an early version of the Cyrillic alphabet.”
Mr. Fico is one of the Eastern European leaders who wants the war in Ukraine to end, he wnts Ukraine to talk with Russia, that might be why he was shot, multiple times.
Good to see him out and about, brave man.First Fico and now Trump, it was in the air of stuff like this would happen, the media have, especially for Trump whipped up hatred and framed him as a traitor, daily, of course a lunatic would sooner or later pick up a gun and try to kill him. I do not understand why they stand inside of some bullet-proof glas protection?

Allegedly “only” a hit in the ear, an inch to the side and Trump would likely be dead.I am sure the media will flourish with conspriacies that Trump lead the assassinte himself or that Russia is somehow involved.
Speaking on Russia ust yesterday by the way, Kiev threatened to assassinte Putin:
Kremlin responds to Ukraine’s threats to assassinate Putin
Budanov, who had been placed on Moscow’s terrorist and extremist list over his activities, revealed Kiev’s efforts to kill Putin in an interview with Ukrainian news outlet NV published earlier in the day. His service has made several attempts to assassinate the Russian president, he claimed, without providing any further information.

*I do not understand why they ARE NOT standING inside some bullet-proof glas protection
Waiting for Orban. Looks like any voice pro-peace negotiation and diplomatic solution gets silenced by attempted murder.
Fresh memes arrived 🙂
https://cs13.pikabu.ru/post_img/2024/07/14/4/1720932009163763140.jpgInteresting also that Biden did not came out and forceully condemned the assassination attempt, sure he ended his statement posted on social media that <i>”we must condemn”</i> acts like this. Well… why did he not just condemn it then? I.e ‘I condemn the assassination attempt against Trump’
Just the other day the smug liberal warmongering journalist David Aaronovitch at BBC “joked” about Trump should be killed:
BBC host deletes joke about Biden having Trump murdered, mocks critics
https://thehill.com/homenews/media/4752022-bbc-host-deletes-joke-biden-trump-murder-mock-craitics/But sure in the end of the day, killing people like Trump, Fico, Orban etc is the only way for the warmongers to get their perverse WW3 warmongering fantasies on track.
Robert F. Kennedy junior, has been denied State Protection for the November Presidential Election, yet both Robert’s Dad and his Uncle were killed. Robert Kennedy has said that this is because Joe Biden will not allow him to have State Protection. Both FICO and Donald Trump want the war in Russia / Ukraine to end as soon as possible, I think that is also Robert Kennedy’s position, two of these people have had assassination attempts.
I think Joe Biden’s position is he wants the war to continue, weakening and exhausting Russia?Yes, Michael. We don’t see any assassination attempts aimed at Biden, Zelensky, von der Leyen, Stoltenberg or any Baltic states leaders. Meybe because pro-peace people don’t have such a habit of killing their opponents? Unlike pro-war people.
Tatyana, I guess if Joe Biden, still refuses to sanction State Close Protection, during this Presidential Election for Robert F. Kennedy junior, then that tells us that Joe Biden and/or his handlers would not mind if Robert Kennedy is taken out of this race.
