Excerpt:

If Democrat Florida governor candidate Charlie Crist thought no one would pay attention to him picking as his running mate Karla Mats-Hernandez (Karla Marx), who mourned the death of communist dictator Fidel Castro, boy was he wrong. Taking advantage of Crist’s bad judgment, of which he has a decades-long history, the DeSantis campaign has launched new campaign merchandise that features Crist’s Castro-admiring running mate (via Florida’s Voice):

The DeSantis Campaign released new merchandise available for purchase with the tagline “Cubans Against Karla Marx,” referencing Democrat Charlie Crist’s running mate, Karla Hernandez-Mats.

Hernandez-Mats was slammed for a Nov. 26, 2016 Tweet issued after the death of Cuban communist dictator Fidel Castro known for brutalizing and abusing inhabitants of the country.

“A political figure dies at 90. Most in Miami rejoice, many in Cuba mourn #FidelCastro,” she originally said.

“Charlie knows full well the pain and devastation that the Castro regime has inflicted on Cubans, and still he willfully chose someone who celebrates the murderous dictator’s regime. This is appalling, but sadly not surprising, because Charlie himself has visited Cuba to pose for a smiling photo with a Communist regime mouthpiece,” the DeSantis campaign told Florida’s Voice.

“Charlie might not care about the victims of communism or the devastation that this evil ideology has wrought on every country where it’s been tried, but Governor DeSantis does.”

After backlash, Hernandez-Mats deleted the tweet and compared Gov. Ron DeSantis to Castro.

Besides her sympathy for the Cuban tyrant, Mats-Hernandez is also a far-left extremist and union boss with quite a dubious history. Therefore, she has earned the name Karla Marx.

Of course, the Crist campaign will try to spin this as some type of attack and the Florida media will jump to the defense of Karla Marx, but the truth is impervious to their propaganda. The reality is Karla Marx is a far-left extremist who insulted Cuban American voters in Florida with her public mourning of Fidel Castro.

We won’t forget on November 8th.

Corrupt Ukraine: Almost All EU Aid Apparently Ends up on the Black Market

Translated Excerpt with translator’s comments in square brackets:

Information leaked from Ukraine and confirmed by independent observers once again gives an insight into the ubiquitous corruption that prevails in the country: According to the Group of States against Corruption (GRECO), which is part of the Council of Europe, aid funds of more than €55 million were diverted. That’s not all: According to the report, 22 shipping containers, 389 railway wagons and 220 trucks with humanitarian aid from the Zaporozhye region were stolen in the region in the last six months. This corresponds to almost 100% of the total deliveries for this region. The stolen goods were later offered for sale in Ukrainian retail chains.

In total, from March to August 2022, the EU sent Ukraine humanitarian goods worth more than €360 million. According to GRECO, goods worth €342 million were stolen. These figures correspond to a whole catalog of similar reports: It was already known in May that a large part of the relief supplies delivered to Ukraine had been embezzled and privately sold on.

As even the British Telegraph reported, medical supplies were also repeatedly stolen and sold in pharmacies — even though public medicine in Ukraine should be free. One doctor explained that “99 % of all hospitals in Ukraine” are corrupt — even in wartime.

Foreign fighters who joined the International Legion to help Ukraine report that even within this unit, abuse of power and corruption are rampant, with soldiers even being ordered by commanders to loot Ukrainian properties. And in June, reports of sales of Western weapons of war by corrupt Ukrainian army personnel made the rounds on the dark web.

Not a jot better than what Putin is always accused of

So this is supposed to be the Ukraine that represents the “values of the West”, “our freedom” and democracy defends Russia against an autocratic alleged criminal state? [YES, they represent these “values” perfectly.]

The truth is probably rather: This Ukraine is no better than what Russia is always being accused of — and the fact that the country was attacked by Russia in violation of international law [LOL] and that its people are exposed to immeasurable suffering as a result of the war does not change the fact that the leadership in Kyiv — courted by the EU and above all by Germany — is no better than the enemy; on the contrary. Before the war, everyone knew — even in the left-wing salon media — that the government there, which Europe so naïvely and thoughtlessly grants astronomical financial and material aid, has been plundering its own people and enriching itself for years, and who are clamoring today for more and more money, guns and moral support for the Zelensky s***hole.

It is all the more irresponsible to make this State a candidate for EU accession, to upgrade its regime, which is professionally and perfectly staged in the role of victim, on a daily basis, to send unlimited amounts of money and weapons there and to completely uncritically pay every sum, no matter how absurd, called for by the Ukrainian Government, for the alleged reconstruction of the country.

This week, the mere announcement by Ukraine’s Economy Minister Julia Swyrydenko that the country needed €350 billion in reconstruction aid was enough in order to persuade her German colleague, Robert Habeck, to immediately articulate the demand for the establishment of a corresponding fund. Although all experience speaks against the fact that even a tiny fraction of such insane sums will arrive at their supposed destinations instead of trickling away into dubious channels, more and more money is being approved for this nepotistic and corrupt political juggernaut. [I wonder how high the commission for Habeck is in this “deal”?]

Germany pays the highest social price

It is noticeable that since the beginning of the war almost every criticism of the Zelensky government, the oligarchic rule or the ubiquitous corruption in the country has come to an almost complete standstill.

That would be a bit like abruptly exculpating the North Korean regime in the event of a Russian or Chinese attack and glorifying it as a bulwark of freedom for which any help is appropriate. The fact that the Russian attack can be condemned without sweeping the highly questionable situation in the attacked country under the carpet is no longer an issue in large parts of the international media.

Worse still: We are paying an unacceptable social price in Germany for this slavish loyalty to the Nibelungen of this flawless kleptocracy: While Germany is collapsing under the weight of the energy crisis, which only arose as a result of the Russia sanctions imposed in support of Ukraine, the food banks in Germany have to increasingly turn away those in need, because they no longer receive sufficient food donations, every Ukrainian demand for money is unconditionally granted. The magnitude of the aid is also evidence of an almost perverse misprioritization: while the volume of donations from the Tafel is around €21 million a year, in the first six months since the start of the war alone, almost 18 times (!) the amount of food and supplies was transferred from the EU to the Ukraine — only a fraction of which reached those who really needed it.

Afterword from the translator:

Apparently Ursula von der Leyen was in Kiev last Thursday and praised the reforms of the EU accession candidate: “It is impressive to see the speed, determination and precision with which you are making progress.”

Join the EU’s internal market, which allows for the free movement of goods, services and capital. Access to it is a very important issue for Ukraine: “It will be one of the most important victories of our country.” I bet it will, just imagine all the contraband that can be shifted then to Islamic terrorists within Europe, especially with no border controls. The amounts of money to be made from the war “surplus” will be staggering to the mind, and the total collapse of Western Europe can then be counted on the fingers of one hand. But what can one expect when one mafia clan merges with another mafia clan, especially one that is utterly ruthless in ALL its “business” practices?
