Tens of thousands of people marched in the Czech Republic’s capital of Prague on Wednesday to protest against the government’s handling of the energy crisis, the EU, and NATO.
It marked the second time within a month that massive demonstrations took place in the city as Western sanctions against Russia are backfiring on Europe and energy prices are soaring.
The demonstrations in Prague have brought together parties from across the political spectrum. According to Reuters, the organizing group known as “Czech Republic First!” is against Prague’s EU and NATO memberships and wants the country to be militarily neutral.
“This government is absolutely anti-Czech. It only serves Brussels, American power and NATO. It has no regard for Czech citizens’ interests,” one demonstrator told Reuters.
European leaders across the continent are worried about increasing civil unrest as winter is approaching. In Germany, thousands have gathered in recent days in the northeastern state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern to demand that Berlin open the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline to ease energy prices.
Both Nord Stream pipelines, which connect Russia and Germany, were the target of explosions this week that are being investigated as sabotage. The Nord Stream 2 has never been fully operational as Berlin paused the project after Russia invaded Ukraine.
Berlin was made to pause the project before Russia invaded Ukraine. NATO is not an alliance, it is there to serve US interests only, they just don’t hide it anymore. All military involvements were aggressive serving American interests only. The same is happening now, just like Ukraine NATO is a proxy which will be thrown under the bus like Ukraine when not needed anymore, that is after Biden has his regime change and the destruction of the RF.
NATO members are sharing their bed with a poisonous snake. They are finding that out the hard way.
We could argue this doesn’t serve US interests at all. Not the Ukraine, Taiwan, or the Iran wars serve the people of the US. The only things it could serve the people of the US are misery, hunger and death.
Well, yes, if you think about US interest as being in the interest of all our people. But the term is nowadays understood to means interests of the 1%, and under that definition, war and chaos are great!
The Biden people are so insane, so reckless , there is no hope, they are totally out of control.
“Tens of Thousands Protest Against NATO, EU in Prague Thousands demonstrated in Germany calling for the opening of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline”
America just condemned Germany to cold showers and freezing homes for the winter. How many Germans and Europeans will die from lack of heat this winter?
When the German public wakes up and revolts there will not be one place safe for an American to hide in Germany.
Biden is reducing Germany to the level of a developing country and with it other EU nations if anything is left of Europe by the time the nihilists in the Biden administration are done with their annihilating the European continent. I despise the bastards, the criminals in Washington, both parties made it possible. They are outrageously evil people.
You are correct, both parties are guilty of evil deeds.
N.S.2 was halted on instruction from the Americans , remember Germany is still occupide by the US .
Germany is not occupied by US. Where did you get that from?
If there are still US bases in Germany is because the German government has requested it as part of bilateral security pact and NATO agreements.
Germany can ask US to pack out and leave anytime they want.
Just guessing here but I don’t think he meant that literally.
It is real, Germany has limited sovereignty. They can’t even buy their energy where they get the best deal when uncle Sam says no.
Neither could the former government of Ukraine.
And the present government can’t negotiate to stop the war without permission either.
Nope. I forget what the term is, but we have left substantial military forces in the countries vanquished in wars. My guess is to protect those countries from thinking for themselves.
Germany is still occupied, the public is not told. Germany has no control over nuclear weapons and military installations in Germany and more than 30K troops are stationed in Germany. The occupier controls Ramstein where the drones get directions flying over three continents. The US is not about to leave, Germany is not a sovereign nation. There are contracts limiting the nation’s sovereignty. And the actions concerning the two NORD STREAM PIPELINES prove it. The sovereignty is just a façade, Biden’s hubris allows him to drop the pretense.
Yes, Germany can ask the US to pack out and leave anytime they want.
And get told “no, because REASONS.”
“‘This government is absolutely anti-Czech. It only serves Brussels, American power and NATO. It has no regard for Czech citizens’ interests,’ one demonstrator told Reuters.” Nailed it!
They will be called fascists … how dare they care about their own interests?
The Chickens are coming home to roost. The ONLY persons that could have blown up the Nord Stream Pipelines is the US. They said they would and now they have done so to condemn the EU to a COLD COLD Winter and possibly hundreds or maybe even thousands of deaths of their older citizens But who cares ,Americans are warm and snug and thousands of miles away with plenty of gas (although at a higher cost) for their use.
God Bless the US NOBODY ELSE WILL.
I read it takes months to prepare for such a stunt, it is plausible and that would mean that Biden knew about it when he answered for Scholz at the press conference.
Did he threaten Scholz behind closed doors, the Biden method of diplomacy? His smirking after he answered sticks in my throat.
Extortion would explain the insanity of the NATO governments.
The sabotage says loud and clear who Europe’s enemy really is, the USA is the real enemy, the ally they sleep turns out to be a venomous snake.
Reminds me of his “sonofabitch, he was fired” when discussing the firing of the Ukrainian Prosecutor investigating THE BOY.
I would sure like to make $85,000 a month to do nothing. Like THE BOY.
To borrow Thomas Knapp’s description of Mafia politics, “you got a nice NS2 pipeline there. It would be a shame if someone blows it up.”
LOL, Biden could have said it, but it is not funny. The video where he humiliates the young Scott Ritter shows the true hateful Biden.
A senile old man president of a superpower, deliberately kills the economy of his strongest and most loyal ally!!!! Think about that, so insane, and the man has his finger on the red button. He is driving the nation over the cliff and his crazy incompetent advisors stand around and watch it.
Can anyone imagine that, a senile old man at the head of a nuclear superpower. He provoked one nuclear power and is working to provoke China another nuclear power for another war for no good reason, while the global economy comes crashing down.
What a catastrophe and less than half his first term in office served. He already did more damage than Bush and Trump combined in 12 years and they were bad.
And, Fed chairman Powell has slipped his leash, will create a recession to hit next year.
But not before the mid term election. He plays the calendar, after the election, not before.
When is it opportune to start the next war, in Oct. before election near Halloween or in November after thanksgiving? Maybe not so close to Christmas?
a second major demonstration in Prague, and most likely most Europeans feel the same way, see through the censorship and understand the issue. Hopefully, more will do so here and pressure our leaders with losing their power, and choose to do what is best for peace and people’s well being, than, as the Prague protester states, the globalist, WEF agenda.
Reports state that it will take Nord 2 at least a year to be repaired, concurrently, the pipeline from Norway to Poland is now opened, which explains their leaderships moves over the past months. Yet, there are other “pipelines of peace” through Turkey to the Black Sea ports, and another up through Bulgaria, Serbia and Hungary that can supply the industrial and heating needs of Europe during the winter. The protests indicate a way that a mutually beneficial peace, not only for Ukraine and Russia, but also Europe, and even non-aligned countries can have a mutual benefit
There are reports that the pipelines cannot ever be repaired, saltwater is corroding the pipeline. The Biden people know it, it required scientific knowledge to destroy them. There is no excuse, it is a war crime, the crime was approved by Biden, the killer.
Europeans are catching on that their governments are held captive by the US-NATO-Brussels-WEF complex. Italy just voted conservative (although even the conservatives are pro-Brussels in Italy, but that might change). It’s up to the people now.
One thing this article doesn’t mention who who was invited to kick off the protest with the national anthem — singer Tomas Ortel.
Ortel is a former member of neo-Nazi band Conflict 88, whose songs have openly racist and anti-Semitic lyrics. He participated in and spoke at an anti-Roma parade in Pilsen in 2013.
His current band is Ortel, which is known for violent and anti-Muslim lyrics. (After he won a Nightingale Award — the Czech equivalent of a Grammy — in 2017, several other singers returned theirs.) Their song “Hadr” was the anthem of the neo-Nazi Czech Workers’ Party.
Oh, and his tweets are extremely pro-Russia.
But I’m sure that’s all just a coincidence. I mean, it’s kind of weird that the speakers included Jaroslav Foldyna, a deputy for the far-right Freedom and Direct Democracy party who’s very pro-Putin. Oh, and Zuzana Majerova, leader of the far-right Trikolora party, whose social media is also very pro-Putin. But there’s probably nothing weird going on there.
