🇦🇷 “Un pueblo culto nunca puede ser esclavizado.” — Manuel Belgrano 📌Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Buenos Aires






















Perspectives: Mozart premiered an entire opera about the Muslim enslavement of Europeans in Vienna in 1782, within 100 years of the Ottoman siege of that city. All of Europe, with Vienna at the center of the fight and with Barbary pirates still capturing innocent Christian Europeans, was still dealing with the constant threats from the Islamic world and only newly free of the threat of conquest by the Ottomans. This aria from The Abduction from the Seraglio (Die Entführung aus dem Serail), featured in the film Amadeus, is a woman singing of her resolve to remain pure and undefiled by the Turk who has abducted her, conceding that due to his determination to r*** her she will look forward instead to the liberation afforded by death itself. In a hit opera about the rescue of Christian women from the hands of Islamic traffickers. 1782. This was European high art and culture in 1782, based on current events and it's odd how many people want us to forget that.








We need to place two winged hussars in front of the Presidential Palace in Warsaw (Poland) as a permanent honor guard. A member of the Polish Parliament and former presidential candidate, Marek Jakubiak, came up with this idea many years ago. It's time to make it a reality.
