Postcard From Austria

by Toby Young
27 November 2021 7:00 AM

We’re publishing a postcard from Austria today by former academic Mark Foord describing the full horror of the Austrian Government’s recent shift to untrammelled authoritarianism. Here’s an extract:

A former colleague from Bonn insisted that “the Balkans begin in Austria”. She was hinting that for Germans, there was a slight whiff of the disorderly east about the place – too many rakish non-conformists and shady deals. I felt at home in that Austria. However, there is another Austria – a neuralgic, curtain twitching, obsessively orderly, dyspeptic place, obsequious and worshipping of authority.

Over the course of the pandemic, I’ve observed both Austrias: the Austria of stubborn transgression with the barn parties, impromptu gatherings around a crate of beer and a refusal not to enjoy life; and the other Austria of pandemic narks, tipping off the police about a game of farmyard horseshoes, or youths in the park doing what youths do. Beyond the caricatures, the situation is getting sinister. For months, the population have been saturated with angst filled news broadcasts claiming that the Austrian health system (one of the best resourced in the world) was on the verge of collapse. The press called for deeper and more stringent measures against the unvaccinated. A ‘new enemy within’ that might divert attention from the manifold failings of the Austrian political establishment to better prepare the health and social care system for winter.

The pandemic was reframed (against all evidence) as a ‘pandemic of the unvaccinated’. How that phrase flew. In the space of a few weeks there was a palpable mood change. Newspaper comment sections were stuffed with hateful diatribes about the unvaccinated; TV programmes made little attempt to understand the reasons why many people were reluctant to consider the new novel vaccines, despite their being evidence that many of the unvaccinated would be willing to accept one of the conventional vaccines in development (Novavax) or those already in use across the world (Sinovac). There was little objective coverage of emerging vaccine breakthroughs which might lead us to question whether vaccines remain the only way out of the pandemic. In this simple public morality tale, the unvaccinated were portrayed as the only barrier to taming the pandemic. Pressure grew for compulsory vaccination and on November 19th the Chancellor announced that Austria would become the first European state to introduce compulsory vaccinations, coming into force on February 1st 2022.

Worth reading in full.

It is a beautful ideal but for now it will have to remain in the heavenly realm. The supreme androgyne possessed of a penis and testicles, titties and a vagina. The ultimate being. The black transgender (male to female) lesbian. You must learn to keep these things within the realm of your private cosmology. Something is lost in translation when you try to bring them into the earthly realm.

But if they did exist, then they’d star in every BBC, Netflix, and Disney product, now and forever 😂

Absolutely. The dream of the overlords is a black tansgender man wearing a thong so his balls hang out with a pussy picture on the front singing The Star-Spangled Banner or perhaps Jerusalem in England. This is the dream or the nightmare.

I bring my notion of being a black lesbian in a wheelchair into the earthly realm when filling in job application forms.

“John Swinney said he did not believe that it was possible for males to bear children”

ROFL

“Believe”

Isn’t “belief” usually reserved for matters than cannot be empirically determined?

Perhaps he thinks correlation is not causation – just because none of the X billion men that have ever lived has ever given birth doesn’t mean they can’t.

I wonder what Swinney’s mum would have said about this, remembering raising her little boy, and never imagining that he would grow up to lead Scotland and declare that men can get pregnant. And how about his dad— what would he have said to his son about this?

It just shows the utter madness induced by relentless Globalist Propaganda & Brainwashing over the past few decades.

The real question that Swinney should have been asked is whether he and his lawyers think campervans are ownership fluid.

He should just have googled it – Google AI Overview says: “No, men cannot get pregnant or give birth.”

Please, please have a look at this description of the “HIJRAS” of the Indian Subcontinent, which seems to be the actual source of all this Globalist attempt “TO MAKE SODOMY THE CORNERSTONE OF A NEW GLOBAL ETHIC”, as Cardinal Robert Sarah once said.

Here is the source of it all !!!

” In India, the Supreme Court in April 2014 recognised hijras, transgender people, eunuchs, and intersex people as a “third gender” in law. Nepal, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh have all legally accepted the existence of a third gender, with India, Pakistan and Nepal including an option for them on passports and certain official documents.”

“The word hijra is a Hindustani word. It has traditionally been translated into English as “eunuch” or “hermaphrodite”, where “the irregularity of the male genitalia is central to the definition”. However, in general hijras have been born male, with only a few having been born with intersex variations. Some hijras undergo an initiation rite into the hijra community called nirvaan, which involves the removal of the penis, scrotum and testicles.”

“They are mostly employed as sex workers” [i.e., prostitutes].

“Hijra identity and culture is documented to have evolved during the Delhi Sultanate (1206–1526) and Mughal Empire (1526–1707), where hijras held positions as servants for elite households, manual laborers, military commanders, political advisors, and guardians of the harem.”
[***same as Janissaries in the Ottoman Empire]

“Franciscan travellers the 1650s noted the presence of “men and boys who dress like women” roaming the streets of Thatta, in modern Pakistan. The presence of these individuals was taken to be a sign of the city’s depravity.”

Hijra (South Asia) – Wikipedia

The Globalists are trying to force this depravity upon the West.

It is only the taxes of working people that they are wasting on the court case but does Swinney know what a working person is given that Two Tier, Thieves and co seem to struggle with it.
