Today is the start of a new era in Europe:

France: National Rally wins a historic 31.5% of the EU vote, forcing Macron to dissolve the national parliament.

Germany: AfD (Alternative for Germany) surges to become the 2nd largest party, liberal parties tank.

Belgium: Prime Minister resigns after his crushing defeat against the right.

Italy: PM Giorgia Meloni's Brother of Italy wins in a historic landslide.

Austria: FPÖ doubles their seats and becomes the largest party in the nation. FPÖ Freedom Party is pro-Russia.

Spain: Right beating the left by 10%.

Luxemburg: First ever seat for conservative ADR (Alternative Democratic Reform Party).

Poland: The top party among young voters (18-29) was Konfederacja, a very right wing and anti-immigration party.

Apparently, the pendulum is swinging. Good, bad, doom for EU, somethin in between?


June 9, 1949: the Red Scare howler THE RED MENACE opened in Los Angeles.


a cheeseball propaganda film designed to instill terror into Americans about communism’s plans for global domination. You get plenty of subterfuge here, along with lots of betrayals and a few brutal beatdowns, and one of the commies, Betty Lou Gerson would later portray purest evil by voicing Cruella de Vil in Disney’s One Hundred and One Dalmatians. Ironically, when The Red Menace premiered the U.S. government was entering into a period during which it would sponsor numerous anti-democratic coups in Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East. This was unknown to most Americans, but it’s debatable whether they would have been concerned.


June 9, 1957: the headless and handless body presumed to be that of Lieutenant-Commander Lionel Crabb aka Buster Crabb found floating in the waters of Chichester harbor. Foul play was suspected. He was a Royal Navy frogman and diver who vanished during a reconnaissance mission for MI6 around a Soviet cruiser berthed at Portsmouth Dockyard in April 1956.


New evidence has emerged of Britain's attempts to cover up the fate of a diver who vanished in 1956, while apparently spying on a Soviet warship.
