The Shrine of the Bolognese Partisans WW2
a bit of history concerning the collective West trying to normalize fascism
Shrine of the partisans in Piazza del Nettuno
Memorial to the partisans of WWII (1943-1945). The Shrine of the Bolognese partisans, composed of photographs of those killed during the Resistance, is located in the place where, during the summer of 1944, the fascists carried out public shootings and hangings. They then displayed the corpses of anti-fascists killed as a warning and threat to the population. On the wall was written "partisan rest stop".
Bologna was one of the Italian cities most affected by the war, both for its importance in the communication/transportation system, and for its location in the rear of the Gothic Line. Between September 1943 and April 1945 the city was occupied by the Nazis. The people suffered from cold and hunger, Allied bombings and Nazi reprisals such as that of Monte Sole. Throughout this period, the courageous action of groups of anti-fascist partisans kept the people's hopes alive.
The tribute of blood shed by the people of Bologna was high: the number of civilian deaths killed under the bombings was 2481, the partisans killed were 2064.
After the liberation of the city, which took place on 21 April 1945, citizens, acquaintances and family members of all the fallen partisans began to spontaneously bring photos, holy cards and flowers to the place. Subsequently, to give prominence to the popular initiative, the municipal administration provided for the construction of the shrine.

Knowing what we know now regarding US being more concerned with stamping out communism than stopping Hitler a question starts to form. Did the “allies” bomb Bologna so badly because of the strategic location or because Bologna was antifascist?
Anni di Piombo’ or ‘Years of Lead’
It was a ‘Strategy of Tension’, La Strategia della Tensione, an overarching plan which was designed to condition the public to call for a ‘strong’, authoritarian Right-wing government which would prevent the society from sliding into chaos and a possible political takeover of Italy by the Communist Party.
The Left-leaning Gruppo Democratici di Sinistra in a 2000 report based on a second parliamentary investigation of Organizzazione Gladio wrote the following:
“Those massacres, those bombs, those military actions had been organised or promoted or supported by men inside Italian state institutions and, as has been discovered more recently, by men linked to the structures of United States intelligence.”
The reference in the report to “men inside Italian state institutions” points to a sinister aspect of the aforementioned murder of Aldo Moro that fits into the whole backdrop of the Cold War and the avowed policy of the United States to contain the spread and influence of communism.
They are normalising Nazi ideology in the collective West
Ukrainian SS In Britain & Canada - Postwar SS-Galizien Division Refugees
The largely unknown story of the first Ukrainian refugees in Britain - an entire SS division composed largely of Ukrainians who arrived in 1947, with many later emigrating to Canada - the 14th SS Galizien. Why did the British Government permit them to settle, and why are they today considered national heroes in Ukraine? This video is a must watch.

Benito Mussolini, Italy’s dictator from 1922 to 1943, is perhaps best‐remembered as Hitler’s inept ally who was strung up by his outraged countrymen.
But he originated an economic system — economic fascism — that was acclaimed in his heyday, influenced U.S. economic policy during the 1930s, and is surprisingly similar to some of President Obama’s policies.
