/GBG/🟢 The fact that people are not actively trying to show how much they are against these immigrant demonstrations is a sign of how bad the situation is and how far the west is from positive changes

🇫🇷🦠 ANTI-VACCINE ACTIVISTS PUT UP THREATENING POSTERS SHOWING MPS WHO VOTED FOR THE HEALTH PASS
👉🏻 In the metro and on the streets of France, anti-vaccine activists have put up threatening posters and stickers showing the faces and names of the Members of Parliament who supported the law creating the Vaccine Passport.
🔥For several weeks now, members of parliament have often been threatened or accused of being "traitors" or "corrupt".
🔎 On social networks one can see calls to "make lists" or to "prepare football stadiums to put the traitors" or to "find the meaning of the guillotine"...
📌 For example, MP Patricia Mirallès received the following message: "Tell the other MPs to vote well because from now on you will be taking real bullets... be careful where you go. You will never inject us with the vaccine".

/GBG/🟢 You know its going to be bad when the people who created the last crisis start talking about a new one before it happens while also trying to send more money to Turkey, their greatest economic ally which also happens to be aligned (openly) with the very things Germany criticizes and also strongly anti-European

Necromanteion of Acheron
The Nekromanteion of Acheron was a Greek temple of necromancy devoted to Hades and Persephone. Literary sources describe the Acherousian Lake as the place where the dead began their descent to Hades. It attracted people wishing to meet the souls of the dead, as these were able to foresee the future after having left their body. Homer provides the earliest reference to the nekromanteion in Odyssey when Circe advises Ulysses to meet Teiresias, the blind seer in the underworld, to get an oracle for his return to Ithaka. Homer also gives an account of Odysseus's descent to Hades. The resemblance between the setting described by Homer and the site is astonishing, a fact also noted almost 1.000 years later by Pausanias, who argues that Homer had visited this area. Other Greek heroes also attempted the descent into Hades: Orpheus seeking to bring back Eurydice, Hercules in his search for Cerberus, whom King Eristheas had asked for, & Theseus with Peirithos in order to seize Persephone.
