In early 1943, pressured by Nazi Germany, the Bulgarian government agreed to secretly deport its 48,000 Jews to Nazi death camps. After fierce resistance from the Bulgarian Orthodox Church and Bulgarian society, however, the deportation was cancelled. Bulgarians themselves, for centuries subjected to forced Islamization and ethnic cleansing by the Ottoman Empire, intuitively recognized the predicament of their fellow citizens and opposed it. Nazi officials saw it differently. To explain the failure of the anti-Jewish policy, Obergruppenführer Adolf Beckerle argued that “the Bulgarian people … lack the ideological enlightenment that we [in Germany] have.” Now history is repeating itself. Liberal-left ideas dominate European Union (EU) politics, but most Eastern European countries seem to be hesitant to embrace them. The general sentiment in Brussels is that Eastern Europeans lack enlightenment in terms of progressive ideas. However, is the driving force behind Eastern Europe's c...

"The Austrian presidency needs to exert pressure on the other 11 EU [European Union] countries to ratify the Istanbul Convention so that the [EU] as a whole can then join the Convention (with approval from the European Council)" [1] Ulrike Lunacek, a former member of the European Parliament (MEP) from Austria, published this tweet on 8 March 2018, from which it becomes clear that the ultimate goal of this process is for all EU member states to ratify the Istanbul Convention (IC) separately. Once this process is complete, the EU as a whole will ratify the convention. Doesn’t that sound strange – ‘each country separately and subsequently’ and ‘the EU as a whole’? Is there more to the IC than mere ‘gender ideology’? We observe different power structures, organisations and individuals who advocate for the IC. To answer the previous questions, we need to know who they are and why they became advocates of the IC. A. The European Union: The most important link The EU is ...

“Австрийското #ЕСпредседателство трябва да упражни натиск върху останалите 11 държави от ЕС да ратифицират #Истанбулскатаконвенция - за да може тогава и Европейският съюз като цяло да се присъедини към конвенцията (необходимо е одобрение от Европейския съвет)”[1]. Това бе туита на Улрике Луначек, евродепутат от Австрия, публикуван на 8 март 2018 г. от който става ясно, че крайната цел на настоящия процес е всички страни от Европейския съюз (ЕС) по отделно да ратифицират Истанбулската конвенция (ИК). Щом този процес приключи, ЕС като цяло ще се присъедини към споразумението. Звучи странно нали? Всяка страна по отделно и ЕС като цяло? Дали зад ИК не се крие нещо повече от “джендър идеология”? Ние наблюдаваме различни властови структури, отделни организации и личности, които се застъпват за конвенцията.  За да отговорим на предходните въпроси, трябва да знаем кои са те и по какви причини стават застъпници на ИК. А. Европейският съюз - най-важната брънка ЕС е международна...

The date is 20 January 1993, and Bill Clinton has just been inaugurated as President of the United States. The Cold War has been won, with the collapse of the USSR, and Saddam Hussein has been forced out of Kuwait. The US economy is the largest in the world, while its closest economic rivals, Japan and West Germany, are both subordinate allies. China’s economy is approximately 13 times smaller than that of the US. The world is ready for Pax Americana [1], the way the Clinton family understands it. BACKGROUND Pax Americana is an alternative description of globalisation, an ideology set to dominate the Western world for the next six presidential mandates. And if up to the Clinton family, an ideology to be sustained in the future. Globalization, otherwise termed postmodern liberalism [2], aims at: Weakening the established world order (families, communities, countries) through limitations on: - national sovereignty (including anti-Zionism, minority empowerment, multiculturalism) ...
