In general I tend to agree with Alex. Not just on this topic. However as a witness and participant of both musical events Alex mentioned I would like to add the following. During communist dictatorship period of 2nd Yugoslavia from 1945 to 1991, one might think how everything was awsome (like in Lego movie), but in the same period there was more political prisoners per capita in Yugoslavia then in the Soviet Union. But people were happy enough to be able to travel to Trieste, Italy to buy jeans. During tjat time Croats felf subtle and less subtle repression. It was not wise nor opportunic to simply express your national heritage, culture nor catholic relogion. It was much more "clever" to comply with comminist utopia narative. And then in 1989 a local band leader from my hometown wrote a song for this late mother calling her the last croatian rose. Rose is a flower. Entire nation felt warmth and love. Majestic feeling. But since we felt and indeed were opressed by yugoslav (serbian) communism we collectivly identified with the song. And that was a problem for the authorities of that time. Very very similar we feel today with EU globalist agenda. Same thing. We barely survived the war for independence in the 90s and we are against any war. War is the worst thing that can happen in the world. We raised our voices and hands towards devine love and peace. We should never ever fight for the benfit of money lending occult oligarhy.

I am puzzled by the role of nationalism here. In one way it could be seen as a positive thing as it is opposing the globalist agenda. On the other hand we know that it is a perfect fuel for ethnic wars. I would love to hear your take on it Alex.

Very ominous. A reminder of how national values and a sense of nationalism can be captured by and manipulated by dark forces. The Empire of Lies is clearly planning a large scale war in Europe.

Lots of words, and yet no mention that these concerts are a celebration of genocide of Serbian civilians in WW2, more than 700 thousand dead, and ethnic cleansing of some 300n thousand Serbs from Srpska Krajina in the nineties.

Without those two most important facts, how can your analysis be of much value?

there is a bigger message that alex is offering here that you're missing... it is about finding a way to peace, as opposed to more war... hopefully you can see that..

Look James, there cannot be a message of peace in relation to a "concert" that features support for Ustaše, the worst of what humans have ever been

What's missing here is that Tompson fellow actively promotes Croatian WW2 Nazi iconography (Ustasche movement insignia on his stages, part of Ustasche uniform as his stage appearances, every concert beginning/ending with Ustasche war cry "za dom spremni" and so on). Some of his "songs" actively praise existence of "Jasenovac" - the most evil and deprived place of death on entire Balkans during WW2. And so on and so forth…

Tompson was never truly denounced, somewhat supressed from mainstream media yes - but actively supressed? Never. All this time he released new works, held concerts in smaller venues (always full btw) and has been positively "treasured".

After all, Croatia IS the most ethnically cleansed new EU member state. Period.

i don't know this ustase fellow, so i take your word on that, but i do believe the idea of people challenging the war agenda of the european leaders at this point is vital and i wonder if they have it in them too?? getting 500,000 out to a concert is impressive and i can't imagine it is all about hate that has motivated them.. as alex says - pushing an agenda that is not in the best interests of all the people of europe is what needs to be challenged.. was some of this event connected to that??

The book is written in English. Horrific crimes of Ustaše were so terrible, German Nazis asked for it to be stopped, bit then turned a blind eye

What If you HAVE to wade through one to get to the other?.....peace comes through everybody around you KNOWING that you will be violent at a seconds notice if that peace is disturbed....you being peaceful is what you do when none of the other in us are REQUIRED....completely agree with the "no war" sentiment tho'......particularly for money......seems all there is....

Yes, I have no problem with the umbrella, "bigger" message that weaponized Nationalism (you can even call it basic patriotism) can be so weaponized that it becomes a tool for oligarchic, globalist takeover.

But that shouldn't obscure the historical context, the "smaller" message that viscious, brutal, and immoral genocide campaigns are not patriotic, not beneficial for anyone and condemning them entirely conforms with the larger agenda of resistance to authoritarianism.

There was never a genocide you are talking about but it fitted the narrative of that time to control and submit Croats who never wanted union state with Serbs that suited only British empire interests to prevent Russia reaching Adriatic. Jews knew that, Brits also but...

Serbs have unfortunately been serving as pawns for the Empire in the much larger game. Wake up !

Funny you should use these exact words "… submit Croats who never wanted union state with Serbs…"

Because your own national history begs to differ.

Croatian intellectuals and politicians, gathered in Illyrian Movement, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, actively promoted Yugoslavism as a way to unite Croats (including those in Dalmatia and Slavonia, who were often separated politically) and forge a stronger South Slavic entity. Figures like Josip Juraj Strossmayer, Franjo Rački, Ljudevit Gaj were some of the most notable proponents.

Now, if you're prepared to neglect or ommit your own history, any claim about "nonexistent genocide" is void.

You have to be truly stupid to ignore most atrocious killing of 700 thousand civilians , mostly me orthodox Serbs, anything else than a genocide. You should be ashamed of yourself for even trying to ignore it

Thank you for your article. I hope people hear your voice. I'm old and have a horrible feeling of dejar vue. The key players are the same: the funding sources are the same and the upset people utter the same drivel as their countries turn on their populance.

@Alex: Could you please be so kind as to direct us to some source/s that deal with this early preparation of the Yugoslavian wars, years in advance? I'd appreciate that a lot and so would other readers, I'm sure. Thank you very much!

Maybe this time they are strengthening their forces to counter their own populations.

Maybe that’s what the new arrivals are, basically a Private Army

Love your work Alex! Really enjoy all the podcasts you do with Crypto Rich and the goat farmer. Last but not least, Von Der Liar should be given at least 1 good old fashioned public flogging every week. On second thought - she’d probably enjoy it. Is there a worse human being on the planet? Maybe you and Tom could do a back and forth on that!!!!

Alex, Gospa knows the score.

Dear children, Also today I thank the Almighty that I am with you and that I can lead you towards the God of love and peace.

The ideologies which destroy you and your spiritual life are transitory.

I am calling you, little children: return to God, because with God you have a future and eternal life. Thank you for having responded to my call.

Regrettably, this video isn't available with a subtitle crawl in English. But I am posting the link here for Alex. He's still one of my top 5 favorite commentators, I just want him to be aware of this reaction from Boris Malagurski. Hopefully, it leads to an honest and open discussion with some kind of positive consensus
