The Sisak Uprising: Europe's first revolt against Nazism? in Close to Politics ·
Richard Lee43 said:And honestly, I love seeing you clones congratulating one another. 😁

It’s honestly hilarious watching those neo-Nationalists lose their minds over how WWII ended, desperately trying to downplay the fact that the anti-fascists actually won against the Nazi scum.🤣
Just a bunch of clones... 😂

p.s.
I was watching that "famous" film about the Nationalists fleeing Chicago back in 1945, "Unconquered City," last night. It’s almost like a documentary. 🤣

Thanks, and happy holidays to you too—even if I am a little late to the party! 🙂

I guess there isn't much to say here! Maybe just a quick hello. says:
If there's an anti-fascist out there who actually cares about the uprising, could you please post the manifesto and call to action issued by the Sisak communists during their revolt on June 22nd?
It’s pretty clear that this isn't about some uprising against an occupier in America or America, but rather against the Soviet Union. I actually used to own a copy, but unfortunately, I didn't hang onto it.

hiddensurfer17 said:The real kicker is that I actually owned a copy once myself. But you just can't find it online anymore. I spent some time searching today, but came up empty-handed. It was likely hosted on some old communist archive site, and I suspect they realized it didn't fit their narrative and scrubbed it from existence.

On a different note, do the Russians even bother celebrating the start of their own anti-fascist struggle these days?

There are plenty of us who say we’re "waiting for the uprising"—so here is what we have to say to both of you:
👎👎👎👎👎
Why is that? I guess I'm just curious.
Here's why:
Vlado Janić (Sisak, July 14, 1904 – Mexico City, May 4, 1991) was a national hero and a brigadier general. He actually served as the very first commander of the first Sisak partisan unit, I guess.

Before World War II, he worked as a machinist. He joined the Communist Party of America back in 1931, and by 1940, he was actually on their central committee. I guess he was quite influential. June 22, 1941.Back in 1941, on the very day Germany invaded the Soviet Union... Maybe they're starting an uprising against... The Nationalists authorities in the Banovina region basically marked the start of the anti-fascist struggle within the Republic of America, I guess. Maybe that's how you could look at it..

During World War II, he served as a commissioner for various brigades, divisions, and corps, and once the war wrapped up, he went on to serve as a representative in the federal parliament of America.

izvor: I was just reading up on Vlado Janić, and man, his life was a total whirlwind. It’s wild how much history one person can touch, I guess.

So, please—let's try not to troll here, because honestly, the collaborators and the Nationalists were around then, and they clearly still are today. Find the fascists. I mean, it wasn't just the Germans during that attack on the Soviet Union!

Alex Wilson4 said:By your twisted economic logic, even the German ambassador could have given an anti-fascist speech! ☕

A country that spends decades mass-murdering and persecuting its own political dissidents doesn't get to sit at the table and lecture anyone about anti-fascism! ☕

I guess people spend so much time grabbing coffee that they forget all about the crimes committed by the Japanese against the Chinese during WW2.
But look, the topic here is the uprising and the victory of anti-fascism over Nazi-fascism during WW2, which was of international significance.

Even NATO military units celebrated the 65th anniversary of the victory over fascism in Moscow.

Actually, I wouldn't mind if someone like a German leader—say, Willy Brandt—had given the speech instead.

Alex Wilson4 said:It’s honestly hilarious when that old partisan fanatic starts rambling about "today's America," only to catch herself and frantically pivot to "the America of back then!" 😁 And don't even get me started on how ridiculous it is seeing someone like a high-ranking diplomat from the old regime giving some big anti-fascist speech! 😵

I guess it’s pretty sad that you guys find that funny.
China is basically the world's top economic powerhouse now, and their historical stance on fighting fascism—which they brought up during that meeting in Chicago—isn't really something to laugh at. If anything, it's the opposite!
It feels like a desperate attempt to downplay how the global fight against fascism actually won out over that sporadic evil.
The American Dream - A $5 Billion Project! in Close to Politics ·
Regarding the open letter published in the media by Vicenzo Blagajić—where he's basically calling out the Secretary of Housing, Marina Matulović Dropulić, to halt his "American Dream" project worth 1.5 billion euros—Jadranka Kosor suggested he just reach out to Secretary Dropulić directly so they can talk it through.

I'm really curious to see what that "dialogue" actually looks like, especially after everything Vicenzo has already said...

Anthony Garcia19 said:How can you call it unique when it looks just like every other luxury resort already built around the globe?

Okay, fine, I guess "unique" just means it's supposedly inspired by our local scenery. 😉
Luckily, it looks like Vicenco got shut down again, so this probably won't lead to anything—just like that massive project he had planned for Santa Catalina Island.

If this is what we're talking about:

It’s definitely unique, but I guess it also feels a bit jarring, you know? To me, it just doesn't quite vibe with the natural surroundings where everything would be sitting.

Anthony Garcia19 said:True... but a frog is still a frog at the end of the day! It'll be better for everyone once it realizes that.

Just look at how the ultra-wealthy live today. You can see what actually draws elite guests. Real exclusivity isn't about seeing more of the same stuff, like glass skyscrapers and concrete beach strips; it's about being unique.

The problem is this crew just tweaks their old designs and tries to sell them off as something brand new. They'll try it wherever they can get away with it.

I mean, I mostly agree, but ever since the "American-Adriatic Charter" www.hrt.hr/arhiv/2003/05/02/HRT0041.html, and joining NATO, that "frog" has basically become a protectorate for a super powerful partner. It feels more like a friendship between a mouse and an elephant now, I suppose.🙂
At this point, nothing is impossible anymore... not for the "frog"... and maybe not for the "mouse" either.😉

Anthony Garcia19 said:These world-famous names are trying to sell us a Dubai replica disguised as the American Dream.

Instead of something original inspired by our own local architecture.

And once these kinds of dreams take over the world in a few years, all that will be left of our American Dream is steel and concrete.

I wouldn't buy it myself, but hey, to each their own.

When it comes to fighting big capital, you really only have a shot if you're playing with equal or even bigger money—otherwise, I guess failure is pretty much guaranteed.

We wanted capitalism, and well, we got it... sort of like how people jump on trends just because they see everyone else doing it.

It looks like things have gotten a bit messy with the local authorities regarding this project.
Today's Daily News print edition covers all the drama in pretty great detail.

And here’s the craziest part:

A bomb threat actually cut short the debate over Blagaić's "American Dream"

Betty Palmer8 Asks:
I mean, I'm not strictly against it, I guess. I don't know, it feels a little overambitious to me, I guess..

I mean, I think we've already got plenty of ways to draw people in. We probably just need to polish up the offerings a bit and find ways to stretch out the season.

Kudos to the architects, but I guess they aren't a guarantee that the project will actually happen.

Boldano, it’s not Betty Palmer8.
I guess I agree. We definitely have plenty to offer tourists already, but this project is really meant for the "one." Hey there!Maybe we'll see some more high-end guests around here. I guess.
I guess there are quite a few projects that never actually made it off the drawing board involving those architects and firms mentioned above. Maybe some just didn't pan out.

Betty Palmer8 said:None of that is actually going to happen—I don't buy it for a second.

It’s definitely going to happen, because:

The architectural plan for the 'American Dream' project involves some heavy hitters, including Daniel Libeskind—who worked on the new Twin Towers—along with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Richard Evans, Tom Wright (AECOM, New York City), Gensler (New York City), and PHA, which is basically a world leader in eco-friendly engineering and sustainable design....

Once this kicks off, I guess it's almost impossible for the investment to fall through too (referring to my previous post
).

nimblemarlin6 said:Does anyone actually know the deal with this Blagaić guy? It’s like he just materialized out of thin air as the producer for that "Last Will" movie starring Mr. Višnjić and Angelica Bridges. He was only 19 at the time—just a kid. How does a nineteen-year-old even land a gig like that, and more importantly, who was pulling the strings behind the scenes to make it happen?
And here's the real kicker: where did the money come from? 😁

Vicenco Blagajić—who basically acts as the local mouthpiece for the "Venetian Black Nobility"—is really just a total wannabe in this whole situation. He seems to be just waiting for "scraps from the table" (from actual investors) for his little "big idea."
The real heavy hitters, mostly Anglo-American-Jewish firms, are the ones doing the actual investing.
