Where is this world going is a phrase that has probably been heard by all generations since the rules of civilisation were set. Society has always been divided into those who follow the rules and those who do not. Because of both, the community thought of control over what was happening and sanctions for deviations. In history, we can also find cruel measures against delinquents, which were probably necessary at that time. With the development of society and the development of humanism, the attitude towards punishment has been changing all the time. The changes went in the direction of easing sanctions and penalties. These are supposed to go to the mildest level, which still gives the expectation that it will have a positive effect on the offender – that it will somehow re-educate him and ensure that he does not repeat the actions. Today, it seems like sometimes we are going to the other extreme. As if some privileged people can afford just about anything with impunity.
At the edge of the Balkans, Slovenians have managed to preserve our features for centuries. This is exactly what has kept us as a nation. We are peaceful, and when threatened, we know how to defend ourselves resolutely and effectively. If necessary, even with brutal military force and in blood. Unfortunately, in our indulgence, we sometimes wait too long. We resisted the Turkish invasions, we were active and successful on the fronts of the First World War, we knew how to resist fascism, which oppressed the Primorje people (TIGR), many went with honest intentions to fight the occupier in World War II, we raised our rifles when our decision to move towards democratisation, autonomy, and independence was threatened. When we stand together we are always winners. In this way, we have also defeated a gigantic evil called totalitarian communism. If we walk through history, we find that this does not apply to all nations, so our pride is even more justified.
At this time, in independent Slovenia, for which blood has flowed, we are facing abnormal phenomena that are escalating. The transition has obviously failed us, as the old forces are increasingly raising their heads and trying to push us into the past, which we have renounced with a plebiscite. They are looking for all possible resources for their operational needs. Even money laundering for the needs of Iranian terrorism is an acceptable tool for their goals. With the successes of the current government, they feel a growing fear of losing the status quo, where they still have strong privileges and influence in many areas. The last good year has shown how much the forces of continuity are rooted in society, which even have a constitutional order. Judges apologise to violators of the law, the Constitutional and Administrative Courts interfere in the area of the executive branch, and the red opposition also openly calls for a violent takeover of power in the temple of democracy. Incredibly, even trade unions promise protests, even though workers will have higher wages due to tax policy regulation.
Uncultured culturists and criminals
For their revolutionary goals, they mobilised uncultured cultists represented by the servants of the son of Chief Justice Hink Jenull. Jaša Jenull hired street performers Sanja Fidler and Brane Solcet for his street primitivisms. Finally, in the wake of the Nazis in the 1930s, parliamentary chairs were burned in the Republic Square. The uncultured culturist Boris A. Novak comes with greasy hair and a dirty beard, where he dryly addresses the present abused mob. When the uncultured Balkanoid rapper Zlatko (Zlatan Čordić) joins this common caravan with primitive outbursts of spitting and pointing the middle finger, this open-air theatre is a real primitive absurdity. Zlatan, of course, has the status of a culturist to whom working people pay health and social security contributions. As we know, his status was extended by the Administrative Court, which annulled the decision by which the Ministry of Culture deprived him of more than justifiably unjustified status.
Revolutionary forces also use criminals. It is known that they often abolish convicts for the most serious crimes for their own purposes. We are not that far yet, and people who are in constant conflict with laws and law enforcement come in handy to the deep state. At the street protests, where attempts to seize power by force are intensifying, we meet the aggressive Anis Ličina, who in his protest outbursts rushed the Slovenes out of Ljubljana. He said: “This is our city!” Um, I think we will not make way to an imported Balkan man who often finds his place in the pages of Kronika. We did not move to their military tanks and we will even not back down from primitive civilian infantry, but they can prepare us to show them doors, ferries, trains once again…
Of course, Slovenians also know crime. Let us remember the old stories of bandits. When I make a comparison between these stories and the time unfolding before our eyes, I am amazed. Even foreign crime is happening to us.
Newcomers are not here to be masters
Personally, I am most disturbed by the newcomers who are our guests, but demand power. At every step, they clearly show us what they bring with them. Does this still not convince us enough to start paying more attention to who we let in our backyards? Let’s just walk through the Twitter profile and posts of the famous guest of RTV Slovenia and POP TV Alem Maksuti, who does not recognise nationality, countries, and borders. This man himself became stateless (a man without a state and national identity) because of his attitude towards the community.
Even scientists and intellectuals who write books, and many others have disappointed us. They have driven the reasonable out of their ranks, and since then the demands for false progress have come from there, pushing us deeper into decline every day. They force ideas that were established in the communist revolution, advocate mass incursions of migrants across borders, give support to street protesters demanding a situation that has flared up too uncontrollably. The earnings of diligent and often silent creators of prosperity were shared with self-proclaimed humanists and humanitarians, untalented artists and creators of assessments, analyses, projects, and other sets of useless smears who found themselves in the role of dust-catchers of incompetent bureaucrats. In short, a just a destruction.
Hamas in Ljubljana
The escalation of Hamas missile attacks on Israel and the determined response of the Israeli army have alarmed the public in recent days. While the Slovenian government expressed support for Israel’s right to defence, voices of support for terrorists from Palestinian Hamas were heard from the opposition. The loudest party is the Levica, which has been advocating for the recognition of Palestine for years, although it does not meet the conditions for recognition. There was no clear message from the left opposition that the rocketing of Israel was unacceptable and no excuse for it. Their statements more or less express hypocritical concern about the large number of casualties, especially on the Palestinian side.
Some Palestinians live in Slovenia. I do not know how and in what way they came to us, but I know that they gathered in Ljubljana in support of Palestine and thus the terrorist attack on the sovereign state of Israel. It is difficult to say that this small group is capable of organising and carrying out demonstrations in the middle of Ljubljana as we have seen, so I am convinced that someone from Slovenia is behind them. Especially since they were joined by many others. At the demonstrations themselves, we saw the already mentioned Jaša Jenull present, who was communicating with the protesters. He even seemed to be giving them instructions. Given the above, it would not be surprising if at least part of the KUL opposition, with the Levica party at the helm, were involved.
At the announcement of the armistice between Hamas and Israel, the Slovenian News Agency attached a photo above the publication of this news, in which two flip-floppers are standing on the Israeli flag, holding a Palestinian flag in their hands. In this case, it is once again more about a mischievous cheerleading, and above all, provocation of the public, not professional journalism. Is it right for the central national news agency to provoke us instead of informing us impartially?
Foreigners, travellers, and stateless people
After the end of the First World War, Ivan Cankar wrote: “Soon I saw the signs, I saw them in my joy of heart and at the same time in my shame that I did not know this nation that I love. I did not know the resilience of it, nor its political maturity, nor its self-confidence. So foreigners and stateless people made us small and bad that at the end we believed in our own insignificance and helplessness!” He continued: “It turned out that this strong storm did not push us to the ground, but that it washed our souls and hearts, rejuvenated us, lifted us up!”
Cankar doubted the Slovenes and later regretted it, as he was wrong. Some of them have always longed to sell their souls, but this is not a characteristic of the Slovenian nation as a whole. There have been many Slovenes in history who have influenced the path we have walked, but most have always raised their heads in the end. That is why we are still here. I believe it will stay that way forever. Let’s write our own judgment! Foreigners, travellers and stateless people must be aware of the indelible fact: Slovenia is a state of all its citizens, based on the permanent and inalienable right of the Slovenian nation to self-determination. We have written this in our highest legal act.
