…..Brave Australian senator speaks the blunt truth
BOMBSHELL !! Listen to FEDERAL SENATOR ALEX ANTIC, a Serbian-Australian from Adelaide, capital of South Australia, a beautiful, planned city down in Oz.
.
The beautiful Parliament building of South Australia
.
Data obtained from South Australian Health under FOI by Senator Alex Antic shows that cardiac-related presentations in South Australian public hospitals dramatically spiked in those aged 15-44 years correlating with the vaccine roll-out.

With this data, as of today – it should be a criminal offence to administer a Covid vaccine to anyone under 45. And any CEO still mandating it to their employees should be jailed.
But as usual the media are covering this up, and not reporting the Senators speech. They have blood on their hands.
…..Yours truly two lives ago
Count Laval Nugent of Ireland — and then of Austria — and then of Croatia
When people express wonderment that an “Austrian corporal” and “penurious Vienna postcard painter” could feel such confidence and destiny, and become one of the greatest warlords of all time, I can only smile.
I was a Catholic Irish nobleman who became an Austrian FIELD MARSHAL…an anglophile who received the Order of the Bath from the king of England….. The Emperor of Austria, Franz Ferdinand, gave me three castles in sunny Croatia, which I filled with Greco-Roman art treasures….. And I was a italophile, too, married to a beautiful, blonde Italian princess!
Margi saw this and gasped: “My God, John, that is YOU!”
It’s time that someone stand up to these jews!
.
Laval Nugent, a fierce Irishman who never lost a single battle in fifty years, also became a Croatian national hero, though Croatia, then part of Austria, did not exist as an independent country during his lifetime. (Croatia, btw, fought loyally for Austria and for Germany in both world wars.)
Born in November 1777, Laval Nugent was the son of John Nugent and Jane, née MacDonough. She was descended from the now extinct Irish Dukes of Tirreril, and is buried in Bath Abbey. The family lived at Ballynacor House, County Westmeath. Today, the only traces of Ballynacor are the main entrance gates, with their impressive size suggesting the original grandeur of the house and estate.
Laval’s father died when he was only four years old. At the age of 12, he was sent to Austria as a ward of his uncle, Oliver, a Colonel in the Austrian Army, who had married Josepha Rath and was to die in 1791 without issue.
There young Laval enrolled at the Theresianum Academy, founded by Maria Theresa at Wieden, a suburb of Vienna, to study engineering.

the “Diplomatic Entrance”
He finished his studies in 1794, becoming a junior officer, a lieutenant, in the Austrian Army’s Engineering Corps just as the Napoleonic Wars were about to erupt.
Napoleon in his latest incarnation is a peaceful man who grows good garlic cloves. 😉
.
Laval Nugent’s military career was at the heart of the tumultuous political and military upheavals across central Europe.
By 1807 (after just 13 years) he had risen to the rank of colonel (which is just below general), and two years later he became Chief of Staff to the Austrian commander-in-chief, Archduke John of Austria (1782-1859), while fighting the French.
In 1811 he visited Britain and toyed with the idea of joining the British Army (despite being a Roman Catholic, which was objectionable in a fiercely Protestant England) after being promised the rank of major general by the Prince Regent and by the Foreign Secretary, Lord Wellesley.
Through the second marriage of his mother, Joséphine de Beauharnais, he was the stepson of Napoleon Bonaparte. Under the French Empire, he also became Napoleon’s adopted son (but not the heir to the imperial throne). He commanded the Army of Italy during the Napoleonic Wars and was Viceroy of the Kingdom of Italy under his stepfather. Historians consider him one of Napoleon’s most able relatives.[1]
In 1817, Laval Nugent entered the service of Ferdinand I, King of the Two Sicilies, a short-lived geographical and political amalgamation of the southern half of Italy, including Sicily. Three years later he returned to the Austrian Army.
In 1848, 31 years later, he led an Army Corps under Field Marshal Joseph Radetzky von Radetz (portrait below; his victory was immortalised in the Radetzky March) in what became known as the First Italian War of Independence.
The famous Radetzky march, performed by the Vienna Philharmonic and conducted by Herbert von Karajan. Wiki: The Radetzky March, Op. 228, is a march composed by Johann Strauss Sr. and dedicated to Field Marshal Joseph Radetzky von Radetz. First performed on 31 August 1848 in Vienna, it soon became quite popular among regimented marching soldiers. It has been remarked that its tone is more celebratory than martial; Strauss was commissioned to write the piece to commemorate Radetzky’s victory at the Battle of Custoza.
He also played a role in opposing the Hungarian Revolution.
Laval Nugent married Giovanna Riario Sforza (1797-1855) on 26 November, 1815 in Naples, Italy, and they had six children.
Count Nugent died on 21 August 1862 at Bosilijevo castle near Karlovac.
Laval’s Castles
As he rose higher and higher as an officer in the Austrian Army, Laval Nugent started to acquire homes and then castles.
By the time of his death he owned six: Trsat, Stelnik, Kostel, Dubovac, Bosiljevo, and Susica – though he only ever lived at the last two.
Trsat Castle as it was, in a painting once in this castle. In 1824 Laval acquired this magnificent Trsat Castle overlooking Rijeka, a city which dates from Roman times. The castle was later occupied at different times by Venetian and Turkish rulers.
Items which were not sold off after Laval’s death to pay for the upkeep of Trsat are now in the care of the Croatian Archaeological Service. Trsat Castle was extensively restored by Laval and remained in the Nugent family for three generations until the line died out with the death of Laval’s great-granddaughter, Anna Nugent, aged 82, during the Second World War.
Now the castle is a tourist attraction and concert venue with an impressive view over islands in the Kvarner Gulf of the Adriatic Sea. Allegedly there is a secret passage from the castle dungeon to the nearby river Rjecina. The castle’s Haven for Heroes (‘Mir Junaka’) served as a Nugent family mausoleum.
Bosilyevo Castle was one of the many historic castles that Count Laval de/von Nugent owned.
.
It has been the property many generations by a Frankopan knez (prince). The first preserved written document linking the Frankopans and Bosilyevo dates from 1461, the family having ruled the area for several centuries beforehand, having extended their possessions from the island of Krk to other parts of Croatia.
In 1853 Vuk Frankopan founded a Dominican monastery in Bosilyevo, also establishing a large vineyard in nearby Vukova Gorica as well as fighting against the Turks, who never captured Bosilyevo.
In 1684 King Leopold of Austria gave Bosilyevo to Viceroy Count Nikola Erdedy, who passed it to his daughter, Ana Barbara, and her husband, Count Andrija Auersperg, a renowned family within the Hapsburg court in Vienna with deep roots in today’s Slovenia.

Croatian Hero
Laval Nugent was once a very prominent figure that Croatians still today remember, with an air of mystery surrounding his biography.
Founder of the first museum in Croatia, Count Laval Nugent was a great patron and collector of the arts; his private collection included 150 Ancient Greek vases and sculptures, with him financing the excavations himself. What remains of his collection is in the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb –
The Croatian-Irish Interparliamentary Friendship Group met to celebrate the life of Count Laval Nugent
Thirty old manuscripts, an antique coin collection, quantities of expensive furniture, a collection of graphics, and paintings of prominent Nugents and related individuals, and over 200 paintings were inherited by this museum.
Count Laval Nugent’s real estate included at least six castles and two old towns. Laval had an obsession with buying old castles and refurbishing them to lavish standards.
Or making things beautiful in my next life, such as the Reich Chancellery, completed on April 20, 1939, my fiftieth birthday in that life, done with the brilliantly gifted Albert Speer:
.
Most of his castles were sold off by his family after his death.
.
Still today Laval Nugent, is talked about as one of the most romantic persons of 19th-century Croatian history, his name “Nugent” üpronounced byx heCroatiosn in the original French way — “nü – zho.”

…..The Normans: Vikings who learned French, then roamed the world as conquerors and patrons of the fine arts

History of the Normans by Dudo de Saint Quentin
The 11th century Benedictine monk and historian, Goffredo Malaterra, characterised the Normans thus:
Specially marked by cunning, despising their own inheritance in the hope of winning a greater, eager after both gain and dominion, given to imitation of all kinds, holding a certain mean between generosity and greed, that is, uniting these two seemingly opposite qualities.
Their chief men were specially desirous of a good reputation. They were, moreover, a race skillful in flattery, given to the study of eloquence, so that even the boys were orators. It is a race altogether unbridled unless held firmly down by the yoke of justice.
They were enduring of toil, hunger, and cold whenever fortune laid it on them, given to hunting and hawking, delighting in the pleasure of horses, and enjoying displaying all weapons and garb of war.[14]
