With millions on the brink of absolute poverty, and Britain well on its way to achieving a hard Brexit even as Catalonia prepares for it own independence, the stage may be set for a new wave of populist right-wing extremism.
As in the case of Donald Trump's electoral win in the U.S., the AfD triumphed last month in part because many former non-voters were stirred by its virulently racist, anti-immigrant message – and their votes flipped the results.
The oil tanker that sank last week in the gulf of Saronikos had failed to meet safety standards as early as 2008, and according to a maritime workers' union, the ship had been deemed “extremely dangerous to safe navigation.”

Based on details that have emerged about Trump’s presidential agenda, the far-right Heritage Foundation plans for the next GOP president to have all the tools necessary to demolish multicultural democracy and establish a white, Christian ethnostate that imposes a gender apartheid not unlike the Taliban’s Afghanistan.
