A Trio of Strangely Similar Flags

ISIS and Boko Haram- both Sunni- products of the Papacy?
Along with the Papist extremist "Falanga" (Spanish transplant) within Poland


 

ISIS - 'Iraqi' and 'Syrian' - also see this



Boko Haram-'Nigerian'


 
 Papist Falanga- 'Polish' (in Donask- Eastern Ukraine)

Papist Polish Nazi Party Link

 This first link is notable, listing the linkage between the far right and the far left, most or all of which are 'red standard [flag] bearers, aka the satanic Jesuit Order, but notably also bearing a flag with its own family resemblance, appearing suspiciously like that of ISIS and the Islamic extremists in Nigeria.

The 2nd link and its assorted site pages speak for themselves.  Viciously anti-Jewish and pro Roman 'Palestine'.

Check out this one example from their site:

According to the law enforcement and local prosecutor, and of course the hostile media who immediately launched a massive attack on us, our activists made „a Heil Hitler nazi gesture” therefore supposedly dishonoring the memory of fallen Polish patriots, who fought against Hitler’s reign in Poland.

It’s a disgusting lie, typical for the regime which is trying to destroy the nationalist opposition.
It is true, that German National Socialist Workers Party (NSDAP) exploited the so-called „Roman Salute” and used it as an official greeting. But it is also true, that this gesture was used by the Polish nationalist movement of the interwar period, by organizations such as Stronnictwo Narodowe (National Party) or Obóz Narodowo-Radykalny (National-Radical Camp). These organizations were then very significant in numbers and enjoyed support of approximately 40% of the Polish public.
When the war and German occupation started, these organizations rejected the new rule and immediately created powerful underground structures whose sole purpose was to undermine the occupation authorities. In 1942, Polish nationalist movement created its own military wing – the National Armed Forces, with more than 100,000 armed men, who fought to the death against the German national-socialist invaders. After the war, these people still fought, till early 60s, against the Red terror and Soviet occupation. Most of them sacrificed their lives on the altar of our homeland.
The traditional greeting of these Polish nationalists was composed of both raising the right hand „to the sun” and screaming „Hail Great Poland!” or „Glory to the Great Poland!”
The same traditional Polish greeting was demonstrated at the military cemetery in Białystok by our activists.
It is important to note, that making this salutation with a proper shout (like „Hail the Great Poland) is perfectly legal in Poland. Only if you raise your right hand and scream „Heil Hitler” or „Sieg Heil”, you can be considered a person who promotes totalitarian ideology.
Quite Roman.

About Juan Carlos' Successor Prince Felipe

born January 30, 1968

http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/lifestyle/2014/06/02/game-thrones-in-spain-felipe-to-be-crowned-king-as-juan-carlos-steps-down/

excerpt- The third child of Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia, Felipe is currently – among his many titles – the Prince of Asturias, and, since his father’s health began to decline, has increasingly taken on a more active role in the monarchy.

Since 1996, he has represented Spain at the swearing-in ceremonies for presidents in Latin America – a historically important role given Spain’s relations with its former colonial holdings – and has taken the place of his father on visits across the Arab world, Australia and Europe, including a high-profile meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin back in 2002.

In 2011, Felipe performed more royal duties than King Juan Carlos did – a total of 253 functions in Spain and abroad. His main role abroad has been to promote economic and cultural matters that are of import to the Spanish government.

Felipe has a broad career in foreign service, having earned a master’s degree in international relations from Georgetown University. He graduated from officer training at Spanish military academies as a helicopter pilot, lieutenant-colonel in the army and air force and frigate commander in the navy.
The crown prince also has taken a more active role in Spain’s military activities than his counterpart in the United Kingdom, Prince Charles. He has chaired meetings of the chiefs of the Spanish armed forces - a role normally performed by the king – since 2010 and regularly participates in military exercises. 





'King of the World' Spain's Juan Carlos ABDICATES!


Earlier in 2014 the New York Times published that Spain's King Juan Carlos was refusing to step down following the collapse of his political support starting in April 2012, when it may appear that he was told something causing him to fall and break his hip, plausibly arising from a recent monumental planning blunder demonstrating the Vatican's excessive political power.





http://endrtimes.blogspot.com/2014/06/spains-king-juan-carlos-abdicates-to.html

(Reuters- excerpt) - Spain's King Juan Carlos said on Monday he would abdicate in favor of his son Prince Felipe, aiming to revive the scandal-hit monarchy at a time of economic hardship and growing discontent with the wider political elite.

"A new generation is quite rightly demanding to take the lead role," Juan Carlos, 76, said on television, hours after a surprise announcement from Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy that the monarch would step down after almost 40 years on the throne.

The once popular Juan Carlos, who helped smooth Spain's transition to democracy in the 1970s after the Francisco Franco dictatorship, seemed increasingly out of touch in recent years.

He took a secret luxury elephant-hunting trip to Botswana in 2012, a time when one in four Spanish workers was jobless and the government teetered on the brink of default.

A corruption scandal in the family and his visible infirmity after repeated surgery in recent years have also eroded public support. Polls show greater support for the low-key Felipe, 46, who has not been tarnished by the corruption allegations.

The king's younger daughter, Princess Cristina, and her husband, Inaki Urdangarin, are under investigation and a judge is expected to decide soon whether to put Urdangarin on trial on charges of embezzling 6 million euros in public funds through his charity. He and Cristina deny wrongdoing.

The king, who walks with a cane after multiple hip operations and struggled to speak clearly during an important speech earlier this year, is stepping down for personal reasons, Rajoy said.

But a source at the royal palace told Reuters the abdication was for political reasons. The source said the king decided in January to step down, but delayed the announcement until after the European Union election on May 25.

Political analysts said the ruling conservative People's Party (PP) was eager to put the more popular Felipe on the throne to try to combat increasingly anti-monarchist sentiment, after small leftist and anti-establishment parties did surprisingly well in the election.

The country is just pulling out of a long recession that dented faith in politicians, the royal family and other institutions. The PP and the Socialists, which have dominated politics since the return to democracy, are committed to the monarchy, but they polled less than 50 percent between them in the recent election.

Smaller leftist parties Podemos, United Left and Equo green party, which together took 20 percent in the European vote, all called on Monday for a referendum on the monarchy.

"People are calling for political regeneration, a change in the institutional functioning of the state after around 40 years of democracy, and they've started with the royals," said Jordi Rodriguez Virgili, professor of political communication at Navarra University.

Spain does not have a precise law regulating abdication and succession. Rajoy's cabinet was scheduled to have an extraordinary meeting on Tuesday to set out the steps for Prince Felipe to take over as Felipe VI. The transition will likely be accomplished by passing a law through parliament, where the PP has an absolute majority.

"We've been hearing continuously over the last few months on the necessity for deep change. The feeling is that the European elections have been a turning point and I believe the decision has been made in this context," said Rafael Rubio, constitutional expert at Madrid's Complutense University.

A PRINCE FOR NEW TIMES

There has been media speculation over an abdication since last year.

Sixty-two percent of Spaniards were in favor of the king stepping down, according to a January poll by Sigma Dos. That compared with 45 percent a year earlier. Only 41 percent of those polled had a good or very good opinion of the king. Felipe has a positive rating of 66 percent and most Spaniards believe the monarchy could recover its prestige if he took the throne, according to the poll.

"Felipe has a lot more energy to do the job," said Alfonso Romero, 36, a student.

Political analysts speculated Felipe may try to seek dialogue between Rajoy and Catalan President Artur Mas, who is leading a movement to break away from Spain. But Mas said on Monday that Felipe's taking the throne would not dissuade him from trying to hold a referendum on independence in November.

The prince, who has had a growing role in ceremonial events in the past year, is seen as more practical and in tune with current affairs than Juan Carlos, a jovial skier and sailor once beloved for his common touch and seen as much more accessible than the older generations of British royals.

Juan Carlos will be the second European monarch to abdicate in just over a year. Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands stepped down in April 2013 to make way for her son Willem-Alexander.

Another Sign of King Juan Carlos Dwindling Political Power?

'Castrillo Matajudio' to revert to former name of 'Castrillo Mota de Judios'



http://ivarfjeld.com/2014/05/29/spaain-kill-the-jews-changed/

A referendum in the northern Spanish village of Castrillo Matajudios, which translates as “Fort Kill the Jews”, has seen a majority of its inhabitants vote in favour of changing its controversial name.
A 93 per cent turnout saw the village’s 57 inhabitants cast 29 votes in favour of changing the name, which has stood since 1623, and 19 votes against.

Founded in 1035 when Jews fleeing from a nearby pogrom settled there, the village will now revert to its former name, Castrillo Mota de Judios, or “Fort Hill of the Jews”, although the process will take up to a year.

Castrillo Matajudios, in the north-western province of Castile and León, almost certainly lost some, if not all, of its Jewish inhabitants in 1492, when the Jews were expelled en masse from Spain, with many of those remaining forcibly converted to Christianity.

NY Times on Spain's Officially Welcoming Back its Expelled Jewish Peoples


Spain has just officially welcomed back Jewish peoples previously expelled during the Inquisition-
was it delayed till now because of the declining political situation of the Spanish monarchy since April 2012?

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/20/world/europe/many-seek-spanish-citizenship-offered-to-sephardic-jews.html?_r=0

The Spanish government has been flooded with thousands of inquiries about legislation it approved last month that will grant dual citizenship to descendants of Sephardic Jews expelled from Spain more than 500 years ago, the country’s justice minister said on Wednesday.

The minister, Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón, who considers the legislation his most important achievement, said in an interview at The New York Times that he anticipated that more than 150,000 people, scattered in the Sephardic Jewish diaspora, would seek Spanish citizenship under the measure, aimed at righting what the government has called a grievous error. The bill is expected to receive unanimous parliamentary approval.

“This law is a real historic reparation of, I dare say, the biggest mistake in Spanish history,” Mr. Gallardón said. He was visiting New York at the invitation of Jewish groups to explain the legislation, which has generated intense interest.

Spain’s roughly 200,000 Jews were ordered expelled in 1492 by Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand, who gave them four months to leave. Many were forced to sell their homes and businesses for nearly nothing, with many eventually resettling in other areas of Europe and North Africa bordering the Mediterranean, but also migrating elsewhere.

While there is no commonly accepted figure for the world’s Sephardic Jewish population — Sephardic is derived from the Hebrew word for Spain — by some reckonings as many as one-third of the world’s 13 million Jews may have Sephardic roots. Many live in Israel. But large Sephardic communities exist in countries including France, Mexico, Turkey and the United States.

Mr. Gallardón, a former mayor of Madrid and grandson of a Spanish ambassador to Romania who helped save Sephardic Jews from the Nazis, said he had been working on the legislation for years. It was first presented as a draft in November 2012.

A main goal, he said, was not only to repair an injustice to Jews, but also to repair Spain, where Jewish contributions to art, science and literature flourished before the expulsion. Many Sephardic Jews, he said, retain strong identifying connections to Spain.

“Instead of detaching from Spain and having hard feelings toward the country that expelled them, they became more attached to their country, their language and their traditions,” he said. During his travels, he said, he has found Spanish-speaking Sephardic Jews in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar who can trace their roots to Toledo. Some Sephardic Jews, he said, “even got as far as Crimea — they are scattered all over the world.”

The dual-citizenship measure will require that applicants establish their heritage through surnames or other proof of ancestry, or a certificate from a recognized Sephardic Jewish federation or rabbinical authority, but the criteria will not be overly strict, and applicants need not be religiously observant. “We will look at any evidence,” the minister said. “We want to ease the process.”
