Croatia Announces Plans to Bring Back Military Conscription
Croatia has joined the ranks of European countries that are considering bringing back conscription in the wake of the war in Ukraine.
Croatian Defense Minister Ivan Anušić attended a meeting of the Croatian National Assembly on Tuesday and told the press afterward that the mandatory conscription is planned for two to three months, but did not mention any specific details, Hungarian news agency MTI reported.
He stressed that the allowances for voluntary military service had recently been increased to €900, which is expected to remain the same for those who perform compulsory conscription.
The aim is to keep as many young people in the defense system as possible, with an estimated 15,000 people taking part in training each year, he said.
In Croatia, compulsory military service was abolished in 2008, partly because surveys at the time showed that almost 90 percent of young people conscientiously objected to the use of arms. “Now plans are being made for them too,” the minister pointed out.
“Those who refuse to take up arms will take rakes and hoes in their hands or carry sacks on the dikes for flood protection,” the minister said, noting that “they do not have to carry weapons, but they must fulfill their duties and obligations to the state,” Anusic said.
However, for those who opt for civilian service, the length of service will be longer and the discount will be less, he said.
According to Veterans Affairs Minister Tomo Medved, the security challenges are such that more and more countries around the world, including in Europe, are thinking about reintroducing a system of compulsory military service.
The Croatian General Assembly also stressed the importance of training young people in self-defense; from first aid to responding to natural disasters, accidents, and catastrophes, to recognizing unconventional threats and challenges in various forms.
In February this year, Prime Minister Andrej Plenković announced that the government had asked Defense Minister Ivan Anušić to examine the possibility of reintroducing conscription.
“We need to act responsibly and not hibernate when there are crisis zones everywhere,” Plenkovic stressed at the time, referring to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the fact that recent tensions in Kosovo had almost led to war.

‘Migrant’ Carjacked, Beaten by Mob of Fellow ‘Migrants’ in Chicago
A male ‘migrant’ was beaten and carjacked by a group of suspects all tied to a shelter for illegal aliens in Chicago this week, according to reports.
The incident unfolded on Monday night outside the Salt Shed, a music venue housing illegals on Goose Island in the Windy City.
Chicago police responded to the scene at around 10 p.m. and encountered a 37-year-old male who told them he had been attacked by a group of approximately 10 suspects.
“Police said the offenders threatened the man and a 33-year-old man who was with him before leaving the scene. Some of them took his silver 2008 Ford Focus,” CWB Chicago reports.
The victim reportedly declined to press felony charges but two male suspects were arrested.
Carlos Gonzalez-Montero, 35, faces two charges for misdemeanor assault, and Eliezer Torres, 26, faces one charge for misdemeanor assault.
Earlier this month, an off-duty NYPD officer was carjacked in New York City by two suspects who were identified as illegal aliens from Venezuela.
Both of the men were reportedly armed, including one who was brandishing a fully-automatic pistol.

French Elections: is ‘Civil War’ Looming?
Political fever is running high as the first round of the early parliamentary elections called by Emmanuel Macron following his party’s defeat in the European elections draws inexorably closer. While the polls continue to show the Rassemblement National (RN) and its allies in the lead with over 30% of the vote, the scenarios for the composition of the future assembly remain highly uncertain. Faced with the prospect of a victory for the national Right, the presidential camp and the Left are anxiously waving the red rag of civil war—without, however, succeeding in reversing the trend.
The polls come fast and furious, but they point in the same direction: they all place the RN and its allies forming a union of the Right at the top of the poll—fluctuating between 33% and 37% for the most optimistic polls for the ‘nationalist camp.’ In second place, the New Popular Front, bringing together all the left-wing parties, stands at around 30%.
But these estimates remain very incomplete. This is not a national election, but the election of 577 deputies by their constituencies, which obey local logic that may differ from one place to another—be they constituencies in large urban centres or in ‘peripheral’ rural France.
It is therefore important to compare the percentage estimates with the projections in terms of seats in the future National Assembly. Things then become much more complicated. The prediction is that the RN will dominate, with between 210 and 250 seats, but probably without reaching an absolute majority of 289 seats. The Left is just behind, with an estimated range of between 180 and 210 seats. The possibility of a victory for the Left is therefore not to be underestimated. The only certainty is the collapse of the presidential camp.
Debates on the different political programmes do not appear to have any major impact on the trends in the forthcoming vote. The RN has been dented by a controversy over dual nationals: the party of Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella has been widely criticised for voicing opposition against people with dual citizenship being able to work as civil servants in ‘sensitive’ jobs (e.g., defence and intelligence). The Left took great pleasure in exploiting the controversy to castigate the alleged xenophobia of the RN, which—the Left claimed—would be ready to unleash a reign of terror.
The televised debate on Tuesday, June 25th, which pitted Prime Minister Gabriel Attal against Jordan Bardella for the RN and Manuel Bompard of La France Insoumise for the New Popular Front, did not really excite the crowds or change the balance of opinion—with the press content to hand out good and bad points with no real grip on public opinion.
Under these conditions, the shape of the National Assembly after July 7th is likely to resemble a configuration with which the French are all too familiar: that of the Fourth Republic, in the years following the Second World War and before General de Gaulle came to power in 1958. At that time, politics was dominated by a paralysing tripartism, with three opposing blocs, none of which managed to impose itself politically, condemning successive governments to inaction and discredit.
Faced with this more than uncertain picture, an alternative scenario has been gaining ground in the French press over the past few days: the possibility of the formation of a ‘technocratic government,’ made up of consensus-driven—i.e., inconsistent—figures and senior civil servants responsible for expediting current affairs without committing themselves to divisive issues. The aim would be to appoint people who would above all “embody nothing,” as constitutional law specialist Benjamin Morel explained to Le Figaro. This minimum service government—neutral, odourless, and tasteless—would have all the appearances of a centre-left ‘grand coalition’, which would bring together the debris of the Macronist presidential majority, the remnants of the Les Républicains party who refused the alliance with the RN, and the left-wing parties anxious to distinguish themselves from the outrages of the far left and sceptical about the New Popular Front—mainly socialists and ecologists. This would ensure that there is no serious political break with the Macron government, which has clearly been disowned and discredited in the eyes of the majority of French people.
What if the elections on June 30th turn out to be the revenge of soft centrism? Unfortunately, this prospect cannot be ruled out, and Emmanuel Macron has on several occasions demonstrated his ability to bounce back to retain power at all costs—even at the cost of France’s collapse. Communications from the Élysée Palace polishes its discourse to prepare the ground: keeping Emmanuel Macron’s party-dominated coalition in power would be the only guarantee against plunging the country into chaos, they claim. The president keeps talking about the risk of ‘civil war’ if the RN or the New Popular Front were to win.
This strategy is nothing new: it was the one deployed by Emmanuel Macron throughout the Yellow Vests crisis. It enabled him to weather the storm and stay in place during a particularly troubled period. Marine Le Pen, an incumbent candidate for leadership of the RN deputies, laughed at this speech. “Macron explained that it was either him or chaos. In fact, the chaos is him,” she quipped, with that sense of wit that has made the Le Pen family so successful in politics.
The Macronist argument seems outrageous, but it can work. The prospect of an uprising in the suburbs, if the RN wins, is taken seriously by many French people who dare not admit that they have already sold their souls and given up the fight. On the other hand, there is a whole fringe of French people who are—quite rightly—petrified at the idea of the far left coming to power with one of the craziest policy programmes ever put forward in France, both economically and socially. Restoring confidence in the presidential majority seems to them a lesser evil if they are not yet ready to slip an RN ballot paper into the ballot box.
For several days now, the number of proxy votes registered for the elections has been exploding. The turnout for the legislative elections looks set to be exceptionally good—on a par with 1993, when the Right returned to power in a cohabitation with the Socialist President Mitterrand—just as the French are getting ready to leave home for their holidays. What does this massive influx of proxies mean? It remains difficult to interpret. It can, of course, be understood as a rallying of the French against Emmanuel Macron, but it could very well benefit the far Left, which is able to mobilise its networks against the danger of the far Right.
In such conditions, civil war, indeed, is not a prospect to be ruled out.

Idaho Farmers Being Fined $300 PER ACRE for Watering Crops… Engineered Famine Now Under Way
Idaho farmers are speaking out about the state’s unreasonable and disastrous water curtailment orders that threaten their very existence. The Idaho Department of Water Resources has issued a sweeping curtailment order affecting tens of millions of acres of farmland across the state. The state is threatening independent farmers with $300 fines per acre for watering their crops with their own wells.
This move comes at a time when water resources are stable across the state, so there appears to be a deliberate move to sabotage independent farmers, while artificially causing water shortages that will takedown hay, potato and dairy farms across the state. These outrageous curtailment orders will upend the livelihoods of countless farmers — a move that will have a ripple effect through Idaho’s economy and push food prices higher across the United States.
This is an engineered famine, and state leaders must act to stop the sabotage.
Local farmers threatened with water shutoff across 500,000 acres
Christopher, a local farmer, spoke about the issue in a viral new video.
“They want us to shut our water off,” he exclaims, detailing how this mandate affects not just his farm, but potentially 500,000 acres of farmland statewide.
Christopher’s farms typically depend on surface water, but they also use three of their eight wells on a yearly basis. He detailed how farmers efficiently use the wells, even in times of drought. In 2021, precipitation levels were low across Idaho and farmers were unable to return a surplus of water back to the aquifer. Since then, water levels have bounced back, but it hasn’t stopped the Twin Falls Canal Company and the Department of Water Resources from taking action to limit what the farmers can use in the future.
Farmers who do not comply with the curtailment will be fined $300 per acre. This would be disastrous for hay farms, causing them to shut down almost immediately. The loss of hay will harm dairy farms across the state, driving up prices for animal feed. The potato farmers might be able to afford the fines at first, but the curtailment will eventually cripple their farm’s productivity and efficiency, leading to inevitable shutdowns over the next decade. The ripple effects will be felt from maintenance teams, to truckers, to feed storage businesses.
Water wars in Idaho threaten farms, driving up the price of food across the U.S.
The crisis stems from an agreement struck in 2015 between the Twin Falls Canal Company and groundwater users. This agreement, designed to manage water usage in the face of dwindling resources, has now come to a head. Due to a shortfall of 74,000 acre-feet of water in 2021, exacerbated by a severe drought, the Canal Company has invoked its senior water rights, forcing junior water rights holders — like Christopher and his fellow farmers — to bear the brunt of the shortage.
The ramifications are staggering. In Bingham County, an area known for its prolific potato production, nearly 150,000 acres are slated for curtailment. Bingham county alone could lose up to $400 million in resources. This move not only jeopardizes Idaho’s status as a top producer of potatoes but also threatens the entire agricultural supply chain.
“It’s not just localized,” Christopher warns, “It will be felt nationally and globally,” leading to skyrocketing food prices and economic challenges if the curtailment persists.
Christopher points out that outdated infrastructure and mismanagement exacerbate the problem. The Twin Falls Canal Company, operating with century-old technology, wastes water supply that could otherwise alleviate future shortages. Instead of going along with an engineered shutdown and subsequent famine, Christopher and other farmers are banding together and calling for a complete modernization of the infrastructure, including the additions of diversions and checks that could optimize water usage. Christopher and the local farming community in Idaho are also calling for better leadership on the issue and asking Governor Brad Little to intervene.
“If there’s no farms, there’s no food,” Christopher warns.

All of the men are presumably illegal aliens who were attempting to elude border agents.
The news comes amid a string of recent horrific sex attacks by illegal alien suspects across the U.S.
Last week, two Venezuelan illegals were arrested for the brutal murder of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray in Houston, Texas.
Investigators believe Nungaray was sexually assaulted for hours before her body was thrown into a creek.
Also last week, an illegal alien from Ecuador was arrested for raping a 13-year-old girl at knifepoint days prior in New York City.
Earlier this month, an illegal from El Salvador was arrested in Maryland for the brutal 2023 rape and murder of Rachel Morin, a mother of five children.
