‘Forces of heaven’: Milei loyalists launch ‘armed' libertarian grouping

La Libertad Avanza supporters, headed by online troll ‘Gordo Dan,’ government deputies and national officials, stage rally in San Miguel to launch new “armed” wing and "praetorian guard" known as "the forces of heaven."

National officials and leading voices from social media platforms identified with La Libertad Avanza (LLA) have launched a new political grouping to “defend the ideals” of President Javier Milei.

"Las fuerzas del cielo” or “The forces of heaven" has the main objective of defending the Javier Milei Presidency and its ideas, according to its organisers. But the style, tone and rhetoric of the event has sparked concern among opposition lawmaker.

Online influencer turned streamer Daniel Parisini, known widely as ‘Gordo Dan,’ was one of event’s key organisers and speakers. Raising eyebrows from government critics, he described the new grouping as the “armed branch” of the LLA libertarians in his speech.

“This is the Praetorian Guard of President Javier Milei. We are his most loyal soldiers who were there from the start and will be there at the end, defending the ideals of our leader Javier Milei and his vision of the country,” declared Parisini.

The launch in the Greater Buenos Aires locality of San Miguel was attended by libertarian writer Agustín Laje, Buenos Aires Province deputy Agustín Romo, Cults & Civilisation Secretary Nahuel Sotelo, national deputy Santiago Santurio (LLA-Buenos Aires Province), University Policy Undersecretary Alejandro Álvarez, among others. The idea behind Las Fuerzas del Cielo is to train leaders who can defend the project headed by Milei in public nationwide.

Sotelo, one of the orators last Saturday night, underlined the importance of winning "the cultural battle" in Argentina in order to consign to the past discussions like Agenda 2030, the environment and other issues which interest “the left." Romo declared: "Do you know why we have achieved what we have? Because victory in war does not depend on the number of soldiers but on the forces which come from heaven." Parallel to the rally, a website was launched to register interested parties and connect them with local “trainers” who can help them spread the libertarian word.

Criticisms

The launch of the event sparked criticism for its violent rhetoric and symbology associated with authoritarian movements like the Nazi regime or the fascism of Benito Mussolini.

Onstage, behind a lectern, were red banners hung with golden letters spelling out slogans and symbols. As well as a four-spoked cross (similar to the Iron Cross used by the Nazi regime) were the words "property," "liberty," "life," "God," "fatherland" and "family," as well as the slogan: "Argentina será el faro que ilumina el mundo (“Argentina will be the beacon lighting up the world”).”

There is a translation problem there. Faro does not strictly mean beacon, but it's actually lighthouse. Lighthouses are obviously avoided by ship captains, if anything, you want to stay far from them because they mean trouble lmfao.

Also mfers having main character syndrome. Nobody looks at Argentina and says "holy shit what a based nation" lol

Yet it was Parisini’s definition of the new grouping as “the armed branch of La Libertad Avanza” that has aroused the most alarm among opposition deputies. Among those criticising the rhetoric were leaders from the centrist Coalición Cívica-ARI, which questioned the self-proclaimed shock troops of the government. Party leader Maximiliano Ferraro warned about the danger of ambiguous attitudes towards democracy, quoting authors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt and their description of "semi-loyal democrats" – people who, although saying that they support democracy, ignore or justify violent or anti-democratic actions.

Socialist deputy Esteban Paulón called on Security Minister Patricia Bullrich to investigate the statements of Las Fuerzas del Cielo, describing them as potential instigation to violence or urban terrorism. “Argentina is a country at peace and with a democratic society,” and requesting immediate action.

Unión por la Patria lower house caucus chief Germán Martínez recalled previous statements to A24 radio, describing the approach as fascist. “I said it then and reaffirm it today: this is fascism. Enough of underestimating the violence of Milei and his entourage. The courts must act urgently before it’s too late,” he said.

I hope they find out soon.

I'm not going to play pretend and say violence is bad and they should stop doing this. No, I want them to continue and suffer the consequences. There's no other way around this, you don't talk with fascists or wannabe fascists, you literally kill them.. but first they have to come out. If we have to draw one lesson from WW2 is that nazis and their friends should be killed, no remorse and no mercy for scum like that. Tito understood this very well .

With Russia's missile strike last night involving an ICBM or IRBM with a conventional payload, there has been a lot of talk about the potential nuclear threat or nuclear capabilities. Which is valid of course, such weapons usually carry nuclear warheads.

However, I managed to find this interesting quote from 2012 from Sergey Karakaev, commander of the Russian strategic missile forces, on the development and construction of Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) or Conventional Prompt Global Strike (CPGS) weapons. Such weapons are intended to deliver a precision guided conventional weapons strike anywhere on the globe, within an hour from launch. It is a capability that the US in particular has been pursuing since the Bush Jr administration, first looking to convert a Trident SLBM to a conventional payload, and then on the development of hypersonic weapons. This caused tensions between Obama and Putin in 2013. Anyways, here is the quote from Sergey Karakaev from 2012.

In addition, according to Sergey Karakaev, commander of Russia's Strategic Missile Forces, a liquid fuelled rocket, with its greater payload potential, will allow Russia "to realize such opportunities as the creation of high precision strategic weapons with non-nuclear warheads and a practically global range".

Russia can create non-nuclear, high precision weapons based on intercontinental rockets in the event that the USA also works on designing such a weapon", Karakaev points out.

• Source - Space Daily, 31 December 2012

It seems as if Russia has demonstrated this capability. This existence and deployment of this potential CPS system by Russia changes a lot of calculations around escalation in a potential NATO - Russia conflict.

From videos and pictures of the strike, which I'll post below in a spoiler tag, we can see six seperate re-entries into the earth's atmosphere, and each re-entry contains multiple submunitions, based on screenshots of the video, about six submunitions per re-entry event. So six re-entries with 6 submunitions each, for 36 hits total. That's quite a payload if it came from one missile. If being the keyword.

I just realized that the reason china wants to keep using US dollars is because it inflates American currency so they can keep cranking out market competitive cheap imports. Trump wants to devalue the currency which they won't help him do.

https://youtu.be/YfrNXlYbwlY?t=202 (the grayzone)

jumping to the conclusion that the CIA is behind every attempted assassination and coup of every country that they don't like makes you correct 100% of the time

Federal Police have now identified 35 Military personnel including 10 Generals, 16 Colonels and an Admiral as involved in coup plan to assassinate President Lula, Vice President Alckmin and Supreme Court Minister Moraes. Arrests imminent. - Brazilwire

Jair Bolsonaro's former Aide de Camp, Lt. Col. Mauro Cid, has been summoned to testify to the federal police about the December, 2022 assassination attempt planned by top military allies of Bolsonaro, for Lula, VP Geraldo Alckmin & Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes

After arresting 4 special forces officers, including a former instructor at the School of the Americas, and a Federal Police agent for the assassination attempt yesterday, police now say they have enough evidence to arrest 35 Military personnel. According to the Fed. Police, many of the assassination planning meetings took place in the mansion of Bolsonaro's former Minister of Defense and 2022 VP running mate, General Walter Braga Neto

According to investigators, and armed army special forces soldier was stationed 3 blocks from Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes' home on the planned night of the assassination, which was only called off due to a change of schedule in the Supreme Court. Keep this in mind when you think about Greenwald spending the last 2 years pushing the Bolsonaro family's "authoritarian" narrative against Justice Moraes, who is in charge of the Supreme Court's investigation into the architects of the failed coup attempt.

Back to Mauro Cid (R), he's been called in for interrogation today because during a plea bargain deal, he testified that close allies of Bolsonaro had planned to kidnap Lula, Alckmin and Moraes. Leaving out the assassination part violates the terms of his plea bargain. Brazil's Federal Police announce that Jair Bolsonaro knew about the assassination plot against President Lula, Vice President Geraldo Alckmin and Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes.

It seems like this "Letter to the Army Commander from Senior Officers of the Active and Brazilian Army” is the coup draft they would have read after they took over the goverment.

Right winger got arrested in Algeria upon arrival: (used google translate with some corrections)

Sansal, a puppet of the anti-Algerian revisionist movement [Arabic]

Algeria - The comical uproar raised by some French political and intellectual circles over the case of Boualem Sansal is further evidence of the existence of a “hateful” movement against Algeria. It is a lobby that does not miss any opportunity to question Algerian sovereignty.
The arrest of Boualem Sansal, the alleged intellectual revered by the French far right, has also awakened the professionals of indignation. The anti-Algerian and pro-Zionist names in Paris have risen up as one man: Eric Zemmour, Mohamed Sifaoui, Marine Le Pen, Xavier Driencourt, Valéry Pécras, Jack Lang, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, and of course Tahar Ben Jelloun, his Moroccan friend who is recovering from sciatica from bending over to kiss the hand of his King Mohammed VI. They have all come to the forefront to defend this professional revisionist who has fallen into the trap of his own doing.

The article is from the Algerian Press Service, which is owned by the Algerian government, no their articles aren't like this usually.

More information has been released about the Brazilian Federal Police's Operation against the Brazilian Army and Bolsonaro, Operation Counter Coup. The Federal Police have finally found the deleted files and the files that prove that the coup attempt on January 8th was not something organic (let's face it, when is a far-right protest organic? These are always financed by the US or rich people). Bolsonaro was being pressured by agribusiness and some politicians to carry out a coup in 2021 (a year before the elections), he organized the coup and changed some things, he had the file in his house, he held meetings in his house.

After Bolsonaro lost the election, there were these camps and protests in front of military bases. It seems that the Federal Police have found evidence that Bolsonaro financed these protests and encampments with public funds. He also planned to kill Lula, the vice-president and Judge Alexandre de Moraes. They tried to do this with poison and even an RPG ambush. The CIA and the US Army pressured them not to do it, saying there would be consequences. Biden was told by some Democrats and advised by the CIA to break off relations and sanction Brazil in the event of a coup, which would also explain why Chile (Boric) and Argentina (Alberto) offered to send troops to help Lula.

In addition to financing these camps and protests. Bolsonaro also financed and organized the January 8 coup attempt, and there is now evidence that military personnel were present at the coup attempt disguised in masks and gloves. This calls into question the narrative that these protests were something that just happened. What's more, the Brazilian Gusanos are so stupid that even the US opposed this bullshit plan. Another thing I want to talk about is how evil these people really are. One of the reasons they said they were going to do this (they had a whole document) is because Lula was going to use public funds and the government budget to promote progressivism and social programs, and that was unacceptable because it's left-wing stuff and these people (poor and minorities) don't deserve it, and it's a waste of money and power. It seems they also hated Flavio Dino. They complain about Supreme Court Judge Flavio Dino (Former Governor, member of the Communist Party of Brazil until 2022), and continue to nickname him Pardo (which is a term for mixed ethnicity people in Brazil) because? Idk, maybe they are racists?

Bolsonaro's family's response to this was “Uh... That's technically not a crime because it didn't happen!!!” and ‘It's not a crime to plan terrorist attacks and wish people dead’. Which is probably one of the worst responses of all time, honestly I have no idea why they can't just stfu. Bolsonaro didn't say anything because Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes created a law that prohibits Bolsonaro from talking with some people, making livestreams and giving interviews (which is pretty funny, he literally forced Bolsonaro to stfu). These are the people who tried to arrest a lib youtuber because he called Bolsonaro a genocidal maniac.

PROJECTION OF RESULTS URUGUAY PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Yamandu Orsi/ Frente Amplio/Broad Front (Leftist, Socdem, Democratic Socialist) - 50.1%

Álvaro Delgado/ National Party/Republican Coalition (Conservative, Neoliberal) - 45.7%

Blank/Null 4.3%

20:30. Projections show Yamandú Orsi as winner. The Frente Amplio headquarters reacted euphorically when the clock struck 20.30 and the projections marked an irreversible victory with 49.5% for Yamandú Orsi, against 45.9% for the coalition candidate Álvaro Delgado. - La Nacion

Good to see the leftist back in power in Uruguay. This will futher isolate Argentina, and Uruguay will have much better relations with Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil. The leftists were really smart, the two most popular candidates decided to run in a unified ticket.

The Romanian presidential election is coming up this Sunday, as far as I am aware nobody here has said a single thing about it so far and I must say it's probably better that way. While many romanians love to make fun of the US and how much of a charade its "democracy" is I genuinely believe Romania might have the most stagnant political scene and the most transparently undemocratic "democracy" in Europe. There are 14 candidates and they all either range from center-right to George "" Simion.

@RomCom1989@hexbear.net tovarăș, what are your thoughts on this upcoming election? That is if you have any, I would not blame you if you didn't, this country's internal politics are so stagnant and geopolitically irrelevant I didn't even know an election was happening until someone told me about it yesterday.

Ngl it is admirable how chuds brainwash theirself into thinking first person on the epsteins list is gonna go after every other one. Strong dedication right there

Plans for a coup d'état that included assassinating Lula and Alckmin also included censoring the press, silencing journalists both in the states and at the federal level. A coup “crisis cabinet” would be set up to monitor the actions of media outlets.

The Federal Police decided today to indict 37 people for attempted coup d'état and criminal organization. Among those indicted are Bolsonaro, Braga Netto (General, Murderer, VP candidate of Bolsonaro in 2022) and Augusto Heleno (The guy who led the massacres in Haiti), Paulo Figueiro FIlho (Grandson of the last Dictator of Brazil, Right-Wing Grifter, lives in the US), Filipe Martins (Neonazi, White Supremacist, Bolsonaro's Aide). Officially 37 people have been indicted in the investigation into the attempted coup d'état. They are accused of:

• Coup d'état: 4 to 12 years in prison;

• Violent abolition of the democratic rule of law: 4 to 8 years in prison;

• Being part of a criminal organization: 3 to 8 years in prison

I'm not yank so could someone break down if there is any truth to that? tbh not knowing about about him I assumed he was a stereotypical 'safe' center-right white guy, is he closer to a Liz Warren or even a Sanders,?

MoA - Why These New Russian Missiles Are Real Game Changers

Launched from Russia the missile can reach any target in Europe in less than 20 minutes. On reentry into the atmosphere the warheads of the missile reach hypersonic speeds of 3-4 kilometer per second. There is no air defense system in the world that could stop them.

The results are now in. Europe is defenseless against new Russian weapons which can reach every political and industrial center of Europe with devastating power and with just minutes of notice.

We will determine the targets during further tests of our advanced missile systems based on the threats to the security of the Russian Federation. We consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against military facilities of those countries that allow to use their weapons against our facilities, and in case of an escalation of aggressive actions, we will respond decisively and in mirror-like manner. I recommend that the ruling elites of the countries that are hatching plans to use their military contingents against Russia seriously consider this.

I was checking Wikipedia's page on Self-Coups. And there was this there:
