Cultural Marxism Indoctrination into Islam through Opera

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The “enlightened” and multicultural” public from Cluj Napoca attended recently Karl Jenkins’ The Armed Man, a Mass for Peace, an “opera that included a Muslim muezzin chanting the call to prayer.” It was a thinly-veiled attempt to force Romanians to accept the Cultural Marxism agenda of the European Union which is implemented through the heavy islamization of Europe’s population. http://www.crisismagazine.com/2017/european-resistance-islamization

Five Romanians interrupted the opera by singing the Romanian National Anthem upon hearing the infamous Allahu Akbar shouted on stage by one of the characters. But their singing did not last long. Special police escorted the protesters out of the theater and the local police fined them.

“We see this as a play to brainwash viewers, so people might easily accept the Islamization of Romania.” http://gatesofvienna.net/2017/10/allahu-akhbar-at-the-opera-in-romania/

The opera The Armed Man, a Mass for Peace, advertised as an anti-war play, was brought from London “to culturally enrich Romanians into submission to Islam.” In Bucharest, the capital of Romania, the National Opera refused to present the opera on stage, but Cluj Napoca, a city run by leftists, accepted it.

Codrin Goia was one of the protesters escorted out; he described how the London opera was to bring a message of peace to Romania but instead brought the Allahu Akbar scream heard a few days earlier in Marseille, France, shouted by terrorists who stabbed and killed two women.

The five protesters were members of the New Right Party. “We did not want the National Theater to be turned into a mosque, to have an imam scream Allahu Akbar across the street from our Orthodox Cathedral and the statue of our great hero, Avram Iancu.” http://gatesofvienna.net/2017/10/allahu-akhbar-at-the-opera-in-romania/

Romania joined the EU in 2007 and, as a member, it is required by EU dictates to accept ever larger numbers of Islamic economic refugees as immigrants.

Having survived Ceausescu’s dictatorship and hundreds of years of constant battles with the invading Ottoman Empire armies, some Romanians see their membership in the EU as a “suicide pact.” Romania is the first stop of migrants into Europe via the Black Sea from Turkey and into Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Germany.

The Romanian National Anthem, Deșteaptă-te, Române, says, “Wake-up, Romanian, from the sleep of death into which you have been sunk by barbaric tyrants, Now, or never, make a new fate for yourself, To which even your cruel enemies will bow.”

Ned May reported that “the Mandarins of Multi-culture recently sent [from London] an ‘inclusive and diverse’ opera to Romania to enlighten the benighted locals with extracts from Mass, the Islamic Call to Prayer, the Mahabharata, and other poems.”

When the imam said, “Allahu Akbar, I confess there is no god greater than Allah; I confess that Muhammed is sent by god, the patriots broke into singing the Romanian National Anthem.”

The “multi-cultured” (read indoctrinated) audience told them that they were “cretins” and should get out as the idiots that they are, with no respect for “higher culture.”

But this “higher culture” educated Europeans have invoked for decades as an excuse for their suicidal tolerance and air of superiority, will be easily destroyed by Islam if there is no common culture, language, and secure borders.

Ned May wondered when the Catholic Mass ever started with the invocation of Allah and Muhammed, and why Catholics were not offended by the poetic license the writers took with their Christian rites?

Progressive leftists are constantly telling us that all religions are morally equivalent but that is certainly not the case. Christianity is a religion of life and love.

William Kilpatrick of the Crisis Magazine wondered why the London Opera picked this opera to indoctrinate the EU masses. Why have they not picked Mozart’s Abduction from the Seraglio, a stark reminder that “thousands of Europeans once fell victims to the Islamic slave trade?”

Romanians grumble about the new arrivals, at their apparent well-off status, pushing baby strollers and with other kids in tow, with shopping bags laden with goods at the mall, but never seen working. A National Geographic glossy cover page called them last year the “New Europeans.” They are forcibly new but they are not Europeans, they are Eurabians or Islamopeans who will transform Europe into Eurabia by fertile wombs and multiple wives.

Romania is a harmonious country with many minorities that are well-integrated into society, with a single language and culture. As Darius Roby said, “Here nobody gives a damn what your race or ethnicity is as long as you learn Romanian, love pork, and enjoy drinking.”

Sadly, he added, Romanians are so eager to be Western, to be part of the EU, and hate Russia so much, that they will be unable to resist EU’s multicultural diversity indoctrination.

For now, the only roadblocks to full Islamization are Hungary and Poland. Unfortunately, their objections will be neutralized by the careful injection of a few thousand fertile Muslims in their midst, and the future threat from these Polish and Hungarian Christians will be diffused.

De-Nationalize and Globalize


Photo: Hannity.com
I have described in my book, “Liberty on Life Support,” the American economy and the country in general as a comatose patient. There was even a widely circulating cartoon on social media picturing Uncle Sam on a hospital gurney, attached to life support, barely clinging to life. At first glance it may seem a gross exaggeration until you actually look at the national debt clock, understand the true state of the economy, the condition of the socialist and collectivist education driven by Common Core, and the political power and corruption.


It seems that fundamental changes are occurring around the globe, driving countries to de-nationalize, to destroy their sovereignty, and to globalize under the guidance of the same U.N. elites who know what is best for an “overpopulated planet” that is going to be destroyed by a manufactured global warming Armageddon.

If we accept the financial terms dictated by the trillion-dollar climate change industry, too vested into its own financial gain to care about the inhabitants whose lives and futures are expendable to the whims of the few billionaires, we might be spared our doomsday fate by allowing ourselves to be literally taxed to death. Money always solves problems for bureaucrats; why not tame Mother Nature with taxed money as well?

My friend Mircea Brenciu compared Romania, our country of birth, to a sick patient who is being experimented upon by transnational groups that are intravenously administering “transfusion” therapies that are not in the best interest of the patient. It is an experiment that is supposed to prepare the patient for integration into the “European civilization” as defined by the technocrats in Brussels. 

The formulas, used to tear the patient away from “the collectivist mindset through brutal and inadequate methods” and to integrate him into private property and personal initiative and responsibility, have created “grave fissures in the social order.”

These transfusions seem to be quite toxic to the sick patient, especially when the treatment is administered against the will of the people. Once the patient is infused with so much globalism, the arteries are left wide open and the patient is likely to die, unable to defend himself from the onslaught of foreign body invasions.  At such a point, nationalism will disappear, sovereignty will be gone, and the strange idea of global citizenship will become mandatory.

People who deny that such a globalist movement exists, may have been surprised when kindergarten students from PS75 in New York City were “made to create an American flag with the flags of 22 other nations superimposed over the stripes.” The words below the flag stated: “We pledge allegiance to an International Flag.”http://www.hannity.com/articles/hanpr-election-493995/outrageous-public-school-students-taught-to-14451508/#ixzz423J1rdqh

Alienating people from their national roots, from their identity, culture, language, and history, will certainly endanger their safety and survival. This transfusion of globalism is likely to change the patient from a solid nationalist grounded in history into a Frankenstein-ish metamorphosis that will remove the patient’s spine. In the end, the country may go the way of the former Yugoslavia, divided by faceless bureaucrats according to their interests.

The fundamental transformation around the globe is not going to leave any country unscathed or unaffected. The master plan is composed of many treaties, partnerships, committees, organizations, and other foundations for the “public good.” Unfortunately, the good public had no input into its own plans, never got a seat at the planning table.

Certain developments occurred in the western world that are promoted and advanced by the main stream media and academia:

-          The institution of family has been discouraged and derided; fertility rates have dropped precipitously among the civilized world.

-          Large groups of people have left their countries for economic reasons or were displaced by war and tribal rivalries.

-          Increasing health issues due to poor nutrition or poisoning of the food supply with unnecessary toxic substances used as “preservatives.”

-          The dumbing-down of education, glorifying mediocrity and bad behavior, excusing violence, deriding honor, love, kindness, patriotism, respect, sacrifice, diluting and destroying the work ethic, and erasing history, culture, and ancestors of note.

-          Destruction of the societal cohesion united under one nation and one God.

-          The excessive and massive spending that put many countries into huge and unpayable national debts, affecting the future of generations to come.

-          Giving up sovereignty to an international body such as the United Nation or a transnational entity like the European Union, or to a partnership such as the Trans Pacific Partnership.

-          The damage to Christianity and the Church through its transformation into a political body that advocates collectivism.

-          The destruction of capitalism and private property.

-          Corruption and harm to the rule of law.

-          Promotion and advocacy of atheism, pornography, and deviant life styles as the forced norm.

-          Endorsing abortion, the sale of body parts, and trafficking of human organs and of sex slaves.

-          Societal reorganization around the climate change industry under a master plan called Agenda 2030.

Whether this profound crisis across the globe can motivate citizens to save the comatose patients remains to be seen. Experimental global change to de-nationalize and the fundamental transformation of western societies, whether planned or not, can have intense and long-lasting consequences.

A Union of Convenience

The European Union started with six Western European countries after World War II as the European Coal and Steel Community in 1952 (Belgium, France, Italy, Germany, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands). By 1973 the United Kingdom, Denmark, and Ireland joined what had become known as the European Community. Greece became a member in 1981, Spain and Portugal in 1986, Austria, Finland, and Sweden in 1995, eight former communist countries in 2004 (the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia) plus Malta and Cyprus, Bulgaria and Romania in 2007, and Croatia in 2013, the 28th member.

A recent primer on the EU attempts to clarify the dysfunctional union of 28 countries which has not been very successful in promoting “peace, stability, and economic prosperity,” by harmonizing laws and common policies on economic, social, and political issues as envisioned by a hand full of European socialist elitists.

To join the European Union a country must first have a functioning democracy and a market economy. This is interesting since a lot of the former communist countries were in social and economic chaos following the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989. They were not exactly functioning democracies or supply and demand-based economies; they were former dictatorships with centrally-planned economies, some of which are still struggling with their understanding of what a democracy is.

The EU members share a customs union, a single market in which goods, people, and capital move unimpeded by borders, a common trade policy, and a common agricultural policy as dictated by Brussels. A common currency, the euro, is shared by 19 countries; these nations had to give up their monetary policies, no longer controlling interest rates, the money supply, or their ability to mint and print their own currencies.

The Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) with its Common Security and Defense Policy (CSDP) cooperate with the area of Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) “to forge common internal security measures.” https://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/row/RS2137.pdf

To govern this multi-national behemoth, the EU has established numerous bureaucracies:

-          The European Council (composed of EU heads of state or government and the President of the European Commission; this president is appointed by the member states to facilitate a consensus) – The Council meets several times a year at “EU Summits” in order to set EU policy

-          The European Commission – is the EU’s executive branch composed of 28 commissioners, appointed ty agreement to five- year terms approved by European Parliament; one commissioner is president and the other 27 have specific duties such as trade, agriculture, energy, etc.

-          The Council of the European Union (Council of Ministers) – represents national governments and enacts legislation put forth by the commission; the presidency of the council rotates every six months among its members; the country holding the presidency sets the agenda

-          The European Parliament – elected directly by EU citizens to represent them for five-year terms; it has 751 members who were elected on May 2014; each nation has a number of seats proportional to their country’s population; the Parliament cannot initiate legislation but it can share legislative power with the Council of Ministers in specific areas, accepting, amending, or rejecting proposed EU legislation via “ordinary legislative procedure;” the Parliament allocates the EU budget with the Council Members of the European Parliament caucus (MEPs), not based on nationality, but political affiliation via the eight political groups;  some MEPs are non-affiliated; the pay for these functionaries is quite generous

-          The Court of Justice – ruling on binding laws

-          The Court of Auditors – looks at management of finances

-          The European Central Bank – manages the euro and monetary policy

-          Advisory committees – in charge of regional economic and social issues

 (Kristin Archik, The European Union: Questions and Answers, September 4, 2015)

On economic and social issues, EU member states have given up their national sovereignty because the EU decision-making has been transferred into the hands of a supranational authority. Decisions in foreign policy require “unanimous consensus of all 28 member states.”

Are you still a state if your borders no longer matter?  It became quite painful to watch the smaller countries in Europe, with their open borders, being invaded and trampled by the hordes of so-called “refugees” from Syria, Iraq, Somalia, and Turkey, demanding passage to Germany and Sweden where the welfare systems are more generous.

The Lisbon Treaty, signed and effective since December 2009, attempted to give EU more influence in the foreign policy of each country and to increase “democratic transparency.”

The U.S. has supported the European Union for political reasons of “democracy building” and for trading partnerships. EU and U.S. are pursuing a comprehensive free trade agreement, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP), not unlike the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Disputes remain on issues of data protection and climate change.

Some U.S. Congressmen are beginning to pay attention since the European Union has been plagued by the Greek debt crisis, the massive migration from the Middle East and Africa, and “the rise of anti-EU populist political parties.”

The movers and shakers in key bureaucratic EU positions are:

-          Donald Tusk, the former Prime Minister of Poland, is the President of the European Council, appointed for a two and a half year term

-          Jean-Claude Juncker, former Prime Minister of Luxembourg, is President of the European Commission

-          German MEP Martin Schulz is the President of the European Parliament

-          Federica Mogherini of Italy is the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy

EU member countries handle their own fiscal policy but the monetary policy is directed from Brussels for those members that have adopted the euro as their national currency. Denmark and the U.K. have opted out of the euro. Nineteen of the 28 EU countries use the euro which is beneficial in trading and in tourism. http://europa.eu/about-eu/basic-information/money/euro/index_en.htm

After a country becomes an official candidate to the accession to EU, the applicants must adopt EU laws and regulations. Becoming a member of the EU has transformed some European countries into “functioning democracies and more affluent societies” but they did so at the expense of large and successful western economies that have paid for this transformation. Driving across Eastern Europe, it is easy to see the massive construction, modernization, and remodeling projects paid with EU funds and loans. There are six countries currently under consideration to EU membership:  Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Turkey, and Iceland.
