    An event that I missed, yet that I find deserving to be mentioned - on 25 of March in the 'Freedom Day' (belar. 'Дзень Волі'), a few thousand belorusian citizens went on the streets in Minsk with action of protest against new 'anti-unemployment' laws and harsh politics of president Lukashenko. Action is said to be harshly subjugated with forces of police and belorusian OMON, resulting in massive detaiments.



    The 'law against unemployment' implies a new tax for officially unemployed citizens, among whom - farmers of town of Iwye - mostly a suburban/country settlement, that has status of town - which renders farmers living there as legally 'unemployed'. Inability to pay tax may result with arrests up to 15 days, fines and forced labour. Tax was hevily criticized by citizens.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iwye

    Russia 24 media states that under the new tax falls every 20th citizen of Belorusia.


    Many of the detained protestors received arrests from 7, 10 to 20 days of arrest in detention centers and fines in size of 10 to 30 minimal wages.

    Lukashenko is pushing it. I hope the people manage to get reforms without Soros and his corporate globalists turning Belarus into another Ukraine ...which of course is what they want. I believe they found caches of ammunition and that 'right wing' nationalists were being trained in Ukraine, Poland and Lithuania. Sound familiar? But even worse, many were trained outside of Minsk which means Lukashenko doesn't have a good handle on things.

    Regardless of what situation as, "batjka" has to go, 24 yrs is enough, and THE people are getting fed up. Farmers are self employed, they are not "un-employed", unemployed is you're laid off or let go(fired).
    Why is that something like this happens, Soros's name gets mentioned or the term "Nazis" is brought up?

    people really need to stop throwing Soros and Hillary into every thread it only serves to derail a thread.

    Back to Belarus, this law is insane, you have to pay the government if you don't have a job, it's a law from the dark ages. Not to mention how stupid it is economically, government should use fiscal policy to increase government spending and decrease taxes which in return will boost the economy to create jobs.

    It's cruel, it's dumb and it's going to make the situation worse.

    I am sure, Litwin.

    In our infinite generosity and compassion, we will come to brother nations of other post-soviet states, and give them a helpful hand - assising in their struggle for freedom from movements of hate and opression and from poisonous influences of foreigners desiring to destabilise and break the nations that formed through the centuries from age when all we lived in nameless, endless uncounquered land of the free people - indomitable people, who passed their spirit and pride to us. We will help you to reach the age of liberty and prosperity - together.

    We will cure your souls and minds, and give you strength to stand for true freedom again.

    Agree.
    My parents immigrated here in the 1920s in time for the great depression.
    One of the family friends was looking for work and was arrested with several other immigrants under a "vagrancy" law - that said you had to have (by law) so much money, and they didn't. This fellow knew some English, so he was the one who spoke to the judge. He just kept repeating "We didn't do Nuttin' wrong". I remember hearing the story as a kid, and it didn't make sense to me - being punished for being poor. It still doesn't make sense to me.

    Just to let you know there was a serious rally in Italy with over 100,000 people against the EU and not one site mentioned it...

    I think the EU breaking up would have been a priority in the MSM rather than what's going on in Moscow and Minsk.

    These organizations in the US are directly funded by George Soros and his Open Society Foundation. It does not include the ones indirectly funded or the foreign NGO's:

      • Advancement Project: This organization works to organize "communities of color" into politically cohesive units while disseminating its leftist worldviews and values as broadly as possible by way of a sophisticated communications department.
      • Air America Radio: Now defunct, this was a self-identified "liberal" radio network.
      • Al-Haq: This NGO produces highly politicized reports, papers, books, and legal analyses regarding alleged Israeli human-rights abuses committed against Palestinians.
      • All of Us or None: This organization seeks to change voting laws -- which vary from state to state -- so as to allow ex-inmates, parolees, and even current inmates to cast their ballots in political elections.
      • Alliance for Justice: Best known for its activism vis a vis the appointment of federal judges, this group consistently depicts Republican judicial nominees as "extremists."
      • America Coming Together: Soros played a major role in creating this group, whose purpose was to coordinate and organize pro-Democrat voter-mobilization programs.
      • America Votes: Soros also played a major role in creating this group, whose get-out-the-vote campaigns targeted likely Democratic voters.
      • America's Voice: This open-borders group seeks to promote “comprehensive” immigration reform that includes a robust agenda in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens.
      • American Bar Association Commission on Immigration Policy: This organization "opposes laws that require employers and persons providing education, health care, or other social services to verify citizenship or immigration status."
      • American Bridge 21st Century: This Super PAC conducts opposition research designed to help Democratic political candidates defeat their Republican foes.
      • American Civil Liberties Union: This group opposes virtually all post-9/11 national security measures enacted by the U.S. government. It supports open borders, has rushed to the defense of suspected terrorists and their abettors, and appointed former New Left terrorist Bernardine Dohrn to its Advisory Board.
      • American Constitution Society for Law and Policy: This Washington, DC-based think tank seeks to move American jurisprudence to the left by recruiting, indoctrinating, and mobilizing young law students, helping them acquire positions of power. It also provides leftist Democrats with a bully pulpit from which to denounce their political adversaries.
      • American Family Voices: This group creates and coordinates media campaigns charging Republicans with wrongdoing.
      • American Federation of Teachers: After longtime AFT President Albert Shanker died in in 1997, he was succeeded by Sandra Feldman, who slowly “re-branded” the union, allying it with some of the most powerful left-wing elements of the New Labor Movement. When Feldman died in 2004, Edward McElroy took her place, followed by Randi Weingarten in 2008. All of them kept the union on the leftward course it had adopted in its post-Shanker period.
      • American Friends Service Committee: This group views the United States as the principal cause of human suffering around the world. As such, it favors America's unilateral disarmament, the dissolution of American borders, amnesty for illegal aliens, the abolition of the death penalty, and the repeal of the Patriot Act.

    Organizations funded in the US by George Soros - continued:

    • American Immigration Council: This non-profit organization is a prominent member of the open-borders lobby. It advocates expanded rights and amnesty for illegal aliens residing in the U.S.
    • American Immigration Law Foundation: This group supports amnesty for illegal aliens, on whose behalf it litigates against the U.S. government.
    • American Independent News Network: This organization promotes "impact journalism" that advocates progressive change.
    • American Institute for Social Justice: AISJ's goal is to produce skilled community organizers who can “transform poor communities” by agitating for increased government spending on city services, drug interdiction, crime prevention, housing, public-sector jobs, access to healthcare, and public schools.
    • American Library Association: This group has been an outspoken critic of the Bush administration's War on Terror -- most particularly, Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act, which it calls "a present danger to the constitutional rights and privacy rights of library users."
    • The American Prospect, Inc.: This corporation trains and mentors young leftwing journalists, and organizes strategy meetings for leftist leaders.
    • Amnesty International: This organization directs a grossly disproportionate share of its criticism for human rights violations at the United States and Israel.
    • Applied Research Center: Viewing the United States as a nation where “structural racism” is deeply “embedded in the fabric of society,” ARC seeks to "build a fair and equal society" by demanding “concrete change from our most powerful institutions."
    • Arab American Institute Foundation: The Arab American Institute denounces the purportedly widespread civil liberties violations directed against Arab Americans in the post-9/11 period, and characterizes Israel as a brutal oppressor of the Palestinian people.
    • Aspen Institute: This organization promotes radical environmentalism and views America as a nation plagued by deep-seated “structural racism.”
    • Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now: This group conducts voter mobilization drives on behalf of leftist Democrats. These initiatives have been notoriously marred by fraud and corruption.
    • Ballot Initiative Strategy Center: This organization seeks to advance “a national progressive strategy” by means of ballot measures—state-level legislative proposals that pass successfully through a petition (“initiative”) process and are then voted upon by the public.
    • Bend The Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice: This organization condemns Voter ID laws as barriers that “make it harder for communities of color, women, first-time voters, the elderly, and the poor to cast their vote.”
    • Bill of Rights Defense Committee: This group provides a detailed blueprint for activists interested in getting their local towns, cities, and even college campuses to publicly declare their opposition to the Patriot Act, and to designate themselves "Civil Liberties Safe Zones." The organization also came to the defense of self-described radical attorney Lynne Stewart, who was convicted in 2005 of providing material support for terrorism.
    • Black Alliance for Just Immigration: This organization seeks to create a unified movement for “social and economic justice” centered on black racial identity.
    • Blueprint North Carolina: This group seeks to “influence state policy in North Carolina so that residents of the state benefit from more progressive policies such as better access to health care, higher wages, more affordable housing, a safer, cleaner environment, and access to reproductive health services.”
    • Brennan Center for Justice: This think tank/legal activist group generates scholarly studies, mounts media campaigns, files amicus briefs, gives pro bono support to activists, and litigates test cases in pursuit of radical "change."
