Italy: Sardine star has ties with Soros network
She was a volunteer in Obama's campaigns. Now Elly Schlein is on the list of politicians welcomed by the Open Society Foundation.

The former volunteer in the election campaigns of the former President of the United States Barack Obama and lauded by the organisation of the financier George Soros, Elly Schlein is the new darling of the Italian left.
She is 34 years old, and supported Stefano Bonaccini’s candidacy in Emilia-Romagna with the list “Brave Emilia Romagna”, collecting a total of 22 098 personal votes, distributed among the colleges of Bologna, Reggio Emilia and Ferrara.
It is a real record for the young face of the left born in Lugano (Switzerland), from an Italian mother and an American father. As you can read on her website, her paternal grandfather, Harry Schlein, emigrated to the United States from an Eastern European family.
After graduating from the Liceo di Lugano, in 2004 she returned to Italy to attend the University of Bologna. In 2008, Schlein left for Chicago to volunteer in the Obama election campaign. She returned to Chicago in 2012 to train new volunteers for Obama’s reelection.
After graduating with two theses on the criminalization and over-representation of migrants in prison, and on the rights of foreigners in constitutional jurisprudence, she worked on a documentary by Roland Sejko, which recounts the collective escape of thousands of people on large and small ships from Albania to Italy. Immigration and the protection of migrants’ rights, is therefore, one of her main interests.
After supporting the candidacy of Pippo Civati in the primaries of the Democratic Party, Elly Schlein was elected to the European Parliament, joining the Development, Civil Liberties Justice and Home Affairs and Gender Equality Commissions.
In 2016, the young MEP was appointed rapporteur for the Socialist and Democratic group on the reform of the Dublin Regulation. Always attentive to issues related to the environment, rights and immigration, she naturally decided to support Bonaccini in Emilia Romagna in the last elections.
But a video with Matteo Salvini actually pushed her into the limelight, reaching a large number of voters. “Matteo, I am a former colleague of yours at the European Parliament, do you remember?”
She spoke to Salvini, after having stopped him at the end of a meeting. “I have to ask you a question. Why did you never come to the 22 meetings on the Dublin agreement negotiations?” Salvini had said that he would not be attending since the rule places an unfair burden on Mediterranean countries and creates “an obvious imbalance in management, numbers and costs”.
Former Interior Minister Salvini said in 2018 that he was “very satisfied” over the rejection of the proposed Dublin Regulation reform by seven countries, including Italy, and called it “a victory for us”.
“We had held an opposing position, and other countries came to stand behind us; we broke the front,” Salvini told the media in Luxembourg at the time. “That means it’s not true that it’s not possible to influence European policies,” he said.
The seven countries that rejected the draft Dublin Regulation reform presented by the Bulgarian EU presidency were Italy, Spain, Austria, Romania, Hungary, Slovenia and Slovakia. Estonia, Poland and Great Britain did not express an opinion.
The other 18 countries, despite being unsatisfied, expressed willingness to leave the door open to negotiations. Among those countries are Greece, Malta, and Cyprus, thus breaking ranks with the Mediterranean front.
Due to the Dublin Regulation, Italy has taken the brunt of asylum seeker applications and is required to take on the responsibility of accepting or rejecting them.
Thanks to her commitment to migrants and an “open society”, Elly Schlein has been included in on the list of “friendly” MEPs to the financier George Soros, a great supporter of the American Democratic Party.
As Italia Oggi pointed out, the list was compiled by the “philanthropic” organisation Open Society Foundation, which operates as a political lobby on behalf of the billionaire, and is still available on the web, although some interested parties have denied any connection.
Schlein is included not only in the overall list (page XV), but also in that of the “friends” most active on the topics dear to Soros, on page 67.
Just like Soros, Schlein is a fan of the Sardines, a movement pretending to be a spontaneous “grassroots” initiative against the League of Salvini.

NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s
CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.
European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections
EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter
The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.
The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide
Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.
Strong Confidence in German AfD
Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.
The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy
The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."

One comment
The sudden appearance of the “Sardines” and their use as a flash mob for the PD bears all the marks of a carefully crafted program to fund these new troops of the Italian left. Last month’s regional elections in Emilia-Romagna may have provided the PD and its leftist-globalist backers a useful test bed for the use of the PD’s new Blackshirts to get more leftist voters to the polls. In four of six upcoming regional Italian elections in 2020, the PD will be on the defensive, and we will likely see the “Sardines” employed to help the left stay in power..
