"Germany is putting a pause on issuing decisions on asylum applications for Syrian citizens, in a move that may affect 47,000 pending applications...France, Austria, and several Nordic countries announced similar moves" "Austria also said it...wanted to deport refugees back to the country".
Head of the Swedish Democrats (former Neo Nazi Party) said yesterday "it is time for Syrians to return home" just hours after report of Bashir Al-Assad fleeing the country!
The racism and hypocrisy of these politicians is nauseating. I have NEVER seen anything like this in the past and it is unbelievable that most people seems to be OK with it.

Dedollarization Proceeds
12 Hours ago, #Russia shut down the gas pipeline to #Poland and #Bulgaria for refusing to pay in #Rubles.

"A Catastrophe": Austria's Nazi-Created Freedom Party Wins Parliamentary Election
In Austria, the far-right Freedom Party won this weekend's parliamentary
election, edging out the ruling conservatives and sending shockwaves
throughout Europe. But it's unclear if the Freedom Party will be able to
form a governing coalition, as all of its rivals have ruled out
collaboration. Party leader Herbert Kickl ran on a nationalist platform,
pledging to restrict asylum and migration and expel non-EU citizens. The
Freedom Party was founded in the wake of World War II by former Nazis.
On Sunday, protesters gathered outside the Parliament building in Vienna
chanting, "Nazis, get out of Parliament."
Johanna Franz: "That means social cuts for Austria. That means lower
salaries. That means a catastrophe, especially for migrants and for the
women who are demonstrating in favor of abortion again. We started
demonstrating 40 years ago, and I can't do it anymore."

Generally, performing or receiving an abortion is still considered a criminal offence.
Abortion in Liechtenstein, which borders Austria, remains illegal and punishable by law. Some women who choose to terminate an unwanted pregnancy cross the border into Austria to undergo the procedure.

Once again, Europe surprises me. Just a few years ago I discovered that women couldn't vote in Switzerland until 1972!
Thousands of #swallows and #swifts have died in #Austria due to constant rain and lack of food.

#Moldavite is an interesting #gemstone with a unique story dating back to #1908. Shards of moldavite were found in the town of #Willendorf, #Austria with a figurine of a woman later named the #Venus of Willendorf.
The limestone statue is from the Paleolithic period, which makes it over 27,000 years old. Although #humanity has come a long way, the love and fascination with moldavite has not decreased, especially since a paleolithic society felt that moldavite was significant enough to leave pieces of it with a figurine to represent fertility and beauty.
