Los países occidentales quieren cortar el acceso de China y Rusia a los cables submarinos por los que circula internet, lo que acelerará la fragmentación de los mercados mundiales y acabará, además, con internet como red mundial de comunicación.
El primer paso es impedir que China participe en la construcción de las infraestructuras digitales (1). Por si no hubiera suficiente, en nombre de la seguridad nacional, Estados Unidos también quiere prohibir las aplicaciones informáticas chinas en los vehículos.
El lunes el gobierno de Biden anunció una amplia iniciativa para prohibir las aplicaciones informáticas desarrolladas por China en los automóviles conectados a internet en Estados Unidos (2). El pretexto es evitar que los chinos vigilen los movimientos de los estadounidenses o utilicen los vehículos como ruta hacia la red eléctrica estadounidense u otra infraestructura crítica.
Primero fue la prohibición de los equipos de telecomunicaciones de Huawei. Luego las aplicaciones de TikTok salieron de los móviles. Tampoco está autorizada la instalación de grúas de fabricación china en los puertos estadounidenses.
Este año, Biden anunció aranceles del 100 por cien sobre los vehículos eléctricos chinos, diciendo que China los estaba subsidiandos y justificándolo como un medio de mantener los empleos en Estados Unidos.
“Muchas de estas tecnologías recopilan grandes cantidades de información sobre los conductores”, dijo el domingo Jake Sullivan, asesor de seguridad nacional de la Casa Blanca. También se conectan continuamente a dispositivos personales, otros automóviles, infraestructura crítica de Estados Unidos y los fabricantes originales de vehículos y componentes.
“Los vehículos conectados y la tecnología que utilizan conllevan nuevas vulnerabilidades y amenazas, particularmente en el caso de vehículos o componentes desarrollados en la República Popular China y otros países de interés”, dijo Sullivan.
En Washington están preocupados por “Volt Typhoon”, un programa informático que la inteligencia estadounidense y el FBI dicen que es un intento chino de insertar códigos ocultos en los sistemas eléctricos, tuberías de agua y otras infraestructuras críticas de Estados Unidos. En Washington temen que en una crisis, por ejemplo, si China intenta apoderarse de Taiwán, se puede usar para paralizar las bases militares estadounidenses en el mundo.
Como es característico, es mera retórica y nadie ha sido capaz nunca de mostrar una sola prueba de algo parecido. Es un intento de crear un muro cada vez más alto alrededor de China. El bloqueo es lo único que recibe el apoyo común, tanto de demócratas como de republicanos.
Israel continues to pummel Lebanon, proving itself to be the only country in the world that can literally bomb and invade all of its neighbors at will without serious international consequences.
Note I said consequences, not ‘condemnation’. There’s plenty of the latter to go around, but it doesn’t lead to anything tangible because all global institutions are co-opted, captured, and compromised by the Hydra, and as such only pay lip service to tragedies perpetrated by their clients and masters alike. Isn’t it interesting how—just to take one small example of many—the Chess world’s FIDE organization has banned not only Russia but even Belarus merely as offhand accomplice, yet Israel, for an actual holocaust it’s committing on its neighbors, has not been banned. The same goes for the Olympics, EuroVision, and other contests; it’s quite incredible when you think about it.
What has Belarus done that is worse than an actual holocaust being perpetrated by Israel?
I noted last time that I don’t foresee much being done from the Resistance axis, and there continue to be signals that this reading is accurate. One of the most notable signs of this is the rather startling news that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has suddenly taken a very pro-Western approach in the hopes of easing tensions. This was most poignantly demonstrated when he appeared to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine during ongoing UN discussions:
This denial follows a Bloomberg report claiming that the Iranian president made such statements.
Araghchi clarified that «the president has strongly condemned the crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza and the invasion of Lebanon by that regime,» adding that any reports suggesting otherwise are false. He further criticized Bloomberg’s report, calling it «media mischief.»
What to believe?
There are other reports like this one, though take it with a heavy grain of salt:
Now there’s a controversial video going around of a Mideast commentator explaining this puzzling situation. I’m not saying he’s definitively right—thus the controversy part—but he could be making some good points:
What he argues is that Iran is more concerned with fortifying its directly-regional influence, particularly in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Syria, rather than expending all its resources on a fight with Israel, which is not its top priority. It’s a little contradictory because Israel is in fact central to the Syrian situation, given that it is Israel chiefly destroying Iranian assets with strikes there as a major barb in Iran’s side.
However, he may be right in a more generalized sense of Iran not being keen to shift its weight entirely to the Israeli situation, which plays again into the ‘long game’ I mentioned.
However, that’s not to say Iran has “abandoned Russia” or back-stabbed it. Most likely these are just signals Iran is sending to convey that it is ready to ease tensions with the US. One gets the feeling that the US and Iran have a mutual understanding behind Israel’s back that Israel wants to pull them both into an undesirable war against each other.
For instance, Shoigu just left Iran recently, where he met with the president himself and signed a major deal. The latest is likely Iran’s need to appear ‘consistent’ in its call for peace—after all, one cannot with a straight face call for peace in Palestine-Lebanon while ostensibly supporting the Ukraine war. At least that’s my read of the situation, for now—but with new information, things could change.
Furthermore, Reuters now reports that Iran has brokered secret talks between Russia and the Houthis, to transfer anti-ship missiles, which allegedly could include the P-800, or Yakhont export version:
«Iran has brokered ongoing secret talks between Russia and Yemen’s Houthi rebels to transfer anti-ship missiles to the militant group, three Western and regional sources said, a development that highlights Tehran’s deepening ties to Moscow. Seven sources said that Russia has yet to decide to transfer the Yakhont missiles – also known as P-800 Oniks — which experts said would allow the militant group to more accurately strike commercial vessels in the Red Sea and increase the threat to the U.S. and European warships defending them.»
What we’ve been saying all along:
This of course would be a nightmare for the US, which regime media had previously reported with great trepidation:
Here’s one final interesting analysis:
«Iranian President Pezeshkian’s anti-Russian attack on Ukraine is also a kind of public support by Tehran for Kamala Harris’s candidacy in the US elections. If the Kremlin can openly demonstrate its ironic support for Kamala Harris, then why can’t Iran do the same? Iran does this, but in its own way.
Pezeshkian was «chosen» by Ayatollah Khamenei as President of Iran for a «reset» of relations with America, restoration of the «nuclear deal», etc. In response to these aspirations of Khamenei, Washington openly signals through the Wall Street Journal that Iran should not wait until November to resume negotiations on restoring the «nuclear deal», but they are possible only if Harris wins. The ease of media manipulation of Tehran from Washington was noted as a threat to Iran earlier, but now this vulnerability is actively used by both sides in order to appear on the formation of the Middle East course of the new/old White House administration.
The complete lack of reaction from Iran to Israel’s «preventive special operation» against Hezbollah creates the impression that Tehran has decided to get rid of its toxic and no longer effective proxies and try to keep only the really working projects of influence in the Middle East — such as the Yemeni Houthis and partially Hamas.»

In the meantime, the US is sending troops ‘just in case’:
And in line with our last report, Israel has threatened that if the current track does not return fleeing Israelis back to the north, then a ground operation in Lebanon will be considered:
This confirms what we wrote last time: that the surface-level justification behind the ongoing strikes is to keep Israel’s economy from collapsing due to the uprooting of workers from the agriculturally-important northern regions.
By the way, while sending troops to the region, the aging US fleet highlighted a major problem when its only Navy oiler in the region was knocked out of commission:
It’s not looking good. I’ve been told by a shipowner the Navy does not have a spare oiler to deploy and is scrambling to find a commercial oil tanker to refuel the Abraham Lincoln carrier group.
The Navy’s sole replenishment oiler in the Middle East ran aground yesterday, leaving the USS Abraham Lincoln unable to launch fighter jets until a commercial tanker is located, retrofitted, and deployed. Worse is the fact that a commercial oiler is much slower than the Big Horn forcing the carrier to travel at reduced speeds, making it vulnerable to enemy attacks. This debacle is yet another glaring example of the Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous leadership. The Navy, once the pinnacle of global naval dominance, is now sinking—thanks to recruitment failures, bungling contractors, and top brass more focused on pushing Marxist DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) ideology than maintaining readiness and capability. America’s Navy is crumbling under the weight of political correctness, putting national security at risk.
On the Ukraine front, Zelensky has begun his grand tour by speaking at the UN and presenting his long-awaited [war is] peace plan. Unfortunately, it fell on dubious ears as allies emerged quite skeptical and underwhelmed:
It didn’t help that his messaging was totally confused, with Zelensky repeatedly calling for more “war” in order to create “peace”, as per usual NATO doublespeak:
His grand “peace plan” was described by allies as merely a “wishlist”, with nothing ground-breaking presented. That’s not to mention the wishes themselves are all unrealistic.
Increasingly, Zelensky appears convinced the end is near for him. Almost everything out of his mouth has switched gears to the war coming to an end.
Zelensky gave an interview to ABC News in which he stated that the war with Russia is «closer to the end» than many believe. «I think we’re closer to peace than we think. We’re closer to the end of war. We just have to be very strong, very strong.» — said Zelensky and called on the allies to strengthen the Ukrainian army.
The front is going catastrophically, with major Russian advances continuing day by day. Ugledar is now close to falling and the latest ‘rumor’ is that Zelensky has instructed his commanders to postpone its capture by Russians at any cost at least until the end of the UN dog-and-pony show. Zelensky merely requires that he not be ‘humiliated’ with the fall of such a key city during his big public PR tour, as it would lend itself toward deflating any last remaining hopes for the AFU’s prospects.
Unfortunately, that postponement is costing lives, with terrible reports streaming out of the embattled and besieged city.
From pro-UA commentators:
At present, Ugledar looks like this, and Russian forces have now entered the city proper from the eastern dachas side:
It appears it’s mere hours from falling, with reports of mass surrenders already happening as shown above—but we’ll see. Big Ukrainian sources believe the AFU may soon pull out from several large, key city-centers, which would be a devastating moral blow:
The problem is, the lines are buckling everywhere, including the north:
Ukrainian reserve officer and analyst Tatarigami is despondent:
The Ukrainian 23rd battalion has apparently written a public letter calling for the removal of their commander.
It goes as follows:
Open letter
military personnel of the 23rd OSB to the battalion commander:
Commander, we express our disbelief and demand your resignation. You are not worthy of the position of our battalion commander for the following reasons:
1. During your one-year tenure as a battalion commander, you have not personally been to any combat position or place of residence of the personnel of the battalion entrusted to you. Your deputies have never been interested in this either.
2. you have been ignoring numerous reports from deputy company commanders about the unsatisfactory moral and psychological state of the rifle company soldiers for 8 months. The first of these reports was submitted back in January 2024.
3. despite the reports of the deputy commanders of rifle companies about the unsatisfactory moral and psychological state of the personnel in August and ignoring the messages in the signal of the deputy commander of the 2nd company (that the creation of the joint venture koren-8 makes no sense
and can only lead to unjustified losses), you planned and gave the order to conduct offensive operations on September 5, 2024. As a result of your disregard for the officers ‘ opinions
due to poor planning of the combat operation, the battalion suffered significant losses among its best fighters and almost lost its combat capability.
4. you ignored the reports of the rifle company commanders on September 16 that the personnel were unable to continue performing combat tasks and needed long-term recovery, and issued an order to move to new combat positions.
5. you conveyed threats to the personnel through the company commanders that if they continue to insist on withdrawal for restoration, the battalion will be disbanded, and soldiers, sergeants and officers will be dispersed to various units.
6. during the 4 days of our stay in the rear villages of the Kharkiv region, you did not come to any location of the personnel for personal communication and studying the mood among your subordinates.
7. you require completely exhausted physically and mentally fighters to continue performing combat tasks. This can lead to unnecessary losses caused by fatigue.
8. putting exhausted soldiers on combat duty, you risk losing not only people, but also the positions themselves, which in turn can affect the defense capability of the entire front in a certain area.
Based on all this, we express our distrust to you and demand your resignation from the post of commander of the 23rd separate rifle battalion.
Our volunteer battalion deserves a better commander in spirit and in fact of creation.
September 24, 2024
As of today, 89 servicemen have agreed to sign this open letter, both those who are now in the battalion and those who transferred to other units or were written off from the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2024.
A new WaPo article again confirms what we’ve been writing for weeks—read very carefully:
—
Now Zelensky has announced that Russia plans to target the last three remaining Ukrainian nuclear plants this winter at the UN, not holding back from implicating China for good measure—that’s what good will’s for, after all!
Having just sent up its latest Kondor-FKA advanced spy satellite last week, Russia apparently still needs ‘Chinese satellites’ for the gig.
In New York, I met with executives from leading U.S. energy, finance, and insurance companies, as well as U.S. Agency for International Development Administrator SamanthaJPower and U.S. DepSecStateMR Richard Verma. The primary focus was on preparing Ukraine’s energy system for the winter. We discussed our plans in detail, as well as the possibility of implementing joint projects in the energy sector.
Advisor to the Ukrainian Energy Minister Lana Zerkal said that Zelenskyj’s statements about rapidly increasing Ukraine’s energy capacity ‘have nothing to do with reality
This brings to fore the big question of what exactly will be the game plan for the Ukraine narrative the next few months, now that it’s pretty much a done deal that Zelensky’s big “peace plan” tour will be another huge disappointing failure, like all those vaunted NATO summits before it.
The Ukrainian state and its military runs on the fumes of scheduled morale-boosting spectacles which are ever on the horizon and seem to always promise some big game-changing policy “soon to come”. But now that the current one will end a failure, and Ukraine faces a disastrous winter with disastrous current ongoing developments, it’s hard to imagine what new gimmick they’ll use to sell the public on the war’s continuation over the next few months.
We can only assume the big “long range strikes” gag will be drawn out a little more, to buy Ukraine another month or two of false hope, but then what?
According to the above, Zelensky was hoping to create a kind of peer pressure campaign to merely browbeat Russia into acceding to talks. But both Lavrov and Peskov again released new statements reaffirming that Russia has nothing to talk about with Ukraine, and that all Russia’s goals will be achieved in the SMO.
What he’s saying is, either Ukraine surrenders and accedes to Russia’s demands, or whether Russia takes those demands by continued military force, either way the objectives will be met.
The only thing one can think of is Ukraine attempting more big PR hits, like taking down the Kerch Bridge to tide the morale over for the next few months.

Legitimny channel reports the following about Ukraine’s potential use of long-range NATO missiles in Russia:
Our source reports that the West is aware that if they give Ukraine permission to strike deep into Russian territory with Western long-range missiles, the Kremlin will launch a series of strikes using tactical nuclear weapons on western Ukraine (targeting training grounds, bridges, tunnels, airfields, industrial facilities, and energy and gas infrastructure). This will increase the flow of refugees from Ukraine to Europe. This will have enormous problems for both the West and Ukraine. The world will be one step away from World War III, provoked by the actions of Western politicians. Many will see their ratings plummet. A large-scale crisis will begin. This is why the West is now reconsidering whether it’s worth taking such a risk.
Food for thought.
Meanwhile, controversial Rada MP Mariana Bezuglaya says Russia plans five major ‘bridgeheads’ for this fall, including Zaporozhye city, Dnipro, Kharkov, Kherson, and Sumy:

All the while British yellowpress continues shoveling slop to its glaze-eyed audience:

I’ll leave you with these thoughts from Russian analyst Older Eddy:
The phrase “generals prepare for past wars” is usually uttered with disdain — like, they are stupid, so they lose the next one. Today we see an interesting picture. The block of formally largest Western economies cannot surpass Russia on the battlefield exactly “in the war of the past” — it is not possible to give the Khokhles so many weapons to ensure its military victory. And in addition to the economic factor, in terms of driving troops, now just NATO would be very much in need of “readiness for the past war” — with headquarters able to manage the operations of large mechanized formations. But they no longer have such headquarters.
We have enough problems of our own, but it is precisely for a large war of regular armies that we are today better prepared than anyone else in the world, and I am sure that no American brigade, if it got to the front from our side, would not show itself better in the conditions of this war. They, too, would have had to take long and painful pains and learn lessons.
But for the war of the future, taking into account the lessons learned, we are better prepared than many. The main thing is not to let ourselves rest on our laurels: we need to solve the problems that have emerged and be ready for the emergence of new ones. But the citizens who are writing in 2024 about the flawless NATO military machine can be sent for medical treatment. Today, any AFU combatant who has not yet been at the front knows more about modern warfare and NATO’s capabilities in it than many recognized Western experts, including their generals.
Who would ever sit at the table with an enemy about to succumb to implosion?
American officials have sacrificed national security for decades in pursuit of national superiority. Further arms supplies to Ukraine will not guarantee victory for Kiev, but will only lead to escalation. This is not in the interest of the U.S., which should first and foremost take care of its own population.
A generational political problem
Some might ask the American political leadership – of whatever faction it is – whether they have realised that the U.S. is no longer the boss of the world. If the answer is no, an extensive update dossier would be needed, to be delivered very quickly to the desk of the president on duty.
There is no more time. We repeat: there is no more time.
The United States is in the midst of a political crisis afflicting the entire West (which happens to be directly influenced by the USA) and has not yet managed to resolve it. This poses a major disadvantage internationally, because all around there is a world that is moving forward, in a multipolar key, with a large number of governments and peoples who no longer want to remain under the heel of the invader and who are rebelling, some through markets, some through partnerships, some through revolutions.
In all of this, the U.S. is in the midst of a social crisis that mirrors the unprecedented political one. The demise of the West, as Oswald Spengler put it, is louder than people think. Nobody cares about Americans any more, because there are basically no politicians who have America at heart any more, while they rather have their own interests at heart. This process of separation of governance-representation-people is one of the most delicate points of a transition phase that will lead the whole of humanity to have to rethink the political processes through which societies organise themselves. The problem is that the U.S. is still an imperialist political system with tentacles all over the world, and the dollar has been the main currency dominating the planet for almost a century, so the consequences of this debacle will be equally unprecedented. The final metastasis of a sick society cannot be avoided.
The American generational problem is very much reflected in the country’s foreign policy: while it is true that there is a masterful consistency with the long-term planning that was established at the beginning of the 20th century, it is equally true that things have not gone as strategists and analysts expected. Reality must now be reckoned with. The U.S. has a very exclusive, lobbying, elitist education system linked to a few power groups, whose dependence on the ‘matrices’ of London and Tel Aviv makes the success of candidates complex. Many are called but few are elected, to paraphrase the well-known gospel verse. Instead, the masses have been fed an education that has resulted in a general impoverishment, a sudden lowering of skills and irreparable cultural damage, starting a process that is self-perpetuating through its own successes (which are actually failures). Who will think about Americans in the future? Not even the current election candidates have managed to find the minimum number of successors.
While the belligerent rhetoric continues, the U.S. is being destabilised by an unprecedented illegal immigration, settling social protests with violence or a few doses of new cheap psychotropic drugs, producing some new mass entertainment to keep the protest within tolerable limits. Perhaps nobody really cares what will happen in the ‘New World’ across the Atlantic Ocean. Or perhaps they care enough to let the murderer die his own death.
Sacrifice must be worth the victory
From a strategic point of view, the situation is quite well-known. The Western Front, ça va sans dire, has never gained any real military advantage. An incalculable amount of money has been spent on supplying Ukraine with weapons of all kinds, from the older ones that were pulled out of the post-Soviet arsenals to the more recently manufactured ones, hand in hand with the (still ongoing) training of Ukrainian commanding officers and special units, which, let us remember, have not yet come into play in the conflict, where instead conscripts and reserves have been sent.
The countries that supported the conflict on the western side came to have to change their state budgets in order to meet Zelensky’s demands and turn their economies into war economies, where it was more or less possible and convenient. The whole of Europe, at the behest of the United States of America, entered a slow phase of rearmament such as has not happened since the Second World War.
The colourful industrial arms machine has given billions of dollars to arms companies. How many F-16s have been supplied to Ukraine? How many F-35s are being prepared? How many ATACMS are being discussed in Congress these days? And from the European Parliament, a perfect obedient vassal, which missile models are on the agenda? We have become accustomed to hearing about weapons as if we were talking about sporting matches with our favourite athletes, cheering and getting excited as we hear the cost of a device capable of killing thousands of people. But war is not a game, not a joke.
Although the possibility of striking further and harder in Russia may lift the morale of the Ukrainians, it is the battle on the ground that will determine the outcome of the conflict, and there Kiev is losing. Even in terms of info-warfare, there are no longer any special results, and by now even the mainstream media realise that something is wrong. The rhetoric of the ideal battle for Ukraine has been rehashed in all sorts of ways, without bringing any meaningful results other than to entice a few young men to go to the front to become cannon fodder.
Even if additional Western weapons would not lead to victory for Kiev, they could expand or intensify the war, and this is not in America’s interest. The allies’ sympathies are understandably with Ukraine, despite NATO’s ill-considered push towards the Russian border. However, their first responsibility is to their own nations, which is why they never kept their infamous 2008 promise to bring Ukraine and Georgia into the transatlantic alliance. No one was willing to go to war with Russia over either country.
The proxy war is blurring the delicate line between war and peace.
How much longer will the patience of other international actors who are watching have to be abused? The conflict will not remain only within the borders of Europe, and if it does, the Second World War and the subsequent Cold War taught us, decades ago, that no war is ‘national’ and confineable any more. European countries have relations with numerous other non-European states, which have every interest in protecting their own affairs and not losing out from an extended conflict at the behest of the overbearing U.S. Lady.
And how would the U.S. benefit from this? The prospect is that of a global escalation in which the majority is no longer on the side of the Americans, and this is now an indisputable fact.
The U.S. faces a number of very serious risks and if it does not take them into account, the damage will be irreparable.
A very serious question: what will be left afterwards?
While it is true that the armaments and manpower provided have managed to slow down, at least partially, the Russian reconquest, it is equally true that there has been no victory. This is understandable if one keeps in mind that the Special Military Operation is not a conventional war and that it was deliberately fought according to the strategic criteria of total hybrid warfare from the very beginning. The Americans never wanted to try to win the conflict immediately, otherwise they would have followed another strategy, more militarily aggressive and involving the European countries in a flash-war from the outset.
What has been done, instead, is a slow work of rearranging the entire West in an anti-multipolar key, going against the initiatives already advanced before February 2022 by Russia, China and other countries that were freeing themselves from Anglo-American hegemony. The U.S. has led Europe into an abyss, more so than before, after almost a century of military occupation, political subservience, economic enslavement and cultural devastation. Now there is no choice: either total revolution or participation in the last act of this macabre theatre, the direction of which will in any case make profits, no matter whether in the short or long term. A very important strategic principle is never to sacrifice something or someone unless you have something to gain from it. And the U.S. knows this very well.
At the time of the U.S. election campaign, we keep hearing about ‘diplomacy’ to try to resolve the conflict in Ukraine… or, perhaps, in truth it is to try to resolve the internal U.S. war? Because to be honest, without a stable nation, no diplomacy makes sense. Who would ever sit at the table with an enemy about to succumb to implosion? With what credibility does the U.S. still allow itself to raise its voice against the ‘rest of the world’?
The question then is: what will be left afterwards? It is a question we are perhaps asking ourselves too late.
Despite the exorbitant profits of the defense sector, European industry suffers from a lack of innovation, given the constant Ukrainian demands, which leads to a prolonged crisis.
There are many reasons why Europe wants to prolong the war in Ukraine. Irrational liberal ideology and commitment to the project of a unipolar global order are undoubtedly the most important reasons. However, business and private profit cannot be ignored. According to many recent reports, there has been a huge increase in the profits of military-industrial companies in a number of Western countries, which explains the thirst for war of the pro-Ukrainian oligarchies.
One of the most notorious cases of this war profiteering is taking place in Germany. The military giant Rheinmettall is seeing its profits growing amid a wave of systematic support for the Kiev regime. By continuously and incessantly sending weapons, the German company has managed to escape a serious financial crisis and now has a chance to once again rank among the world’s leading defense companies.
Rheinmettal ‘s business was in a bad way. The company was on the verge of abandoning the military sector to focus on civilian production, since most of its profits were coming from the production of automobile parts. However, Germany’s participation in military assistance programs led the corporation to revitalize its production of weapons and ammunition, once again becoming a global giant in the sector.
Armored vehicles, tanks, ammunition, artillery pieces and air defense systems are some of the products in Rheinmettal’s current industrial catalog. After making adventures into industrial base projects on the Polish-Ukrainian border, the company is now working on opening a new factory in Saxony, where it expects to produce more than one hundred thousand artillery shells per year.
Obviously, the German state is interested in these profits. Recently, an action plan by the German government was announced to use part of the profits of Rheinmettal for reindustrialization projects – which seem more necessary now than ever, since Germany has been the country most affected by the anti-Russian madness. It only remains to be seen how this reindustrialization will be possible without Russian gas and cheap energy.
In short, Germany believes it is profiting from the war. But this calculation is wrong – as well as dangerous and irresponsible. The profits do not go to the German people, but to a small number of defense oligarchs who employ an absolute minority of German society. Furthermore, the real economic revival is minimal, since the constant demand for weapons requires a systematic production routine that hinders any research project in technological innovation. In other words, Rheinmetall – as well as the entire Western military-industrial complex – is doomed to continually produce the same type of equipment according to its current samples, without any relevant innovation.
Industry without innovation has little chance of long-term success. Western weapons, which have already proven to be largely unsuitable for the Ukrainian battlefield, are likely to become increasingly obsolete, and there will be no capacity for technological renewal, since, thanks to anti-Russian sanctions, the precarious European society is reaching a pre-industrial stage of development.
And, still on the subject of sanctions, it is important to emphasize that increased spending on the military industry could be a ticking time bomb for a country without reliable sources of cheap energy. After the blockade of Russian gas, Germany has been experiencing a period of profound energy instability, depending on unusual alternative sources to meet its needs – such as burning wood or buying American gas at exorbitant prices. This scenario is completely inconsistent with a situation of economic development and stability.
Germany will discover an old lesson in economics: the private profits of the oligarchies do not reflect a real situation of economic development and social well-being. Without solving the problems generated by sanctions – which obstruct technological innovation – and without relieving the pressure on the systematic production of weapons, not even constant demand will be able to save Germany and the whole of Europe from a deep crisis.
Despite the profits, aid to Ukraine remains an obstacle to European economic progress, pleasing only transnational oligarchies.
Two key posts – in foreign and defense policy – reveal the militarist and anti-Russia direction of the European Union.
Two key posts – in foreign and defense policy – reveal the militarist and anti-Russia direction of the European Union.
Ursula Von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission – which works as the executive branch of the European Union – announced her new team of commissioners for the next five years.
Taking over as foreign affairs minister for the 27-nation bloc is Kaja Kallas who is a staunch Russophobe and vigorous supporter of Ukraine. Kallas has called for more EU and NATO military funding for Ukraine to “defeat Russia” and the break up of the Russian Federation.
The former Estonian prime minister has led the movement to destroy Soviet Red Army monuments across the Baltic states. (This is while her investor husband continues to profit from doing business with Russia.)
Working closely alongside Kallas will be another rabid Russophobe, the former Lithuanian prime minister Andrius Kubilius, who is taking up a newly created EU post as defense commissioner. The creation of that post is an alarming sign of how the EU bloc has transitioned from a trade and political union to a military organization.
But what’s even more alarming is the assigning of such an anti-Russia hawk as Kubilius to oversee military policy.
At a time when relations between the EU and Russia have become so fraught with tensions, the European bloc is giving politicians from hostile Baltic states a driving seat to push relations even further towards conflict.
Indeed, the first announcement Kubilius made as the prospective new defense commissioner was that the European Union would likely be at war with Russia in the next six to eight years. That assessment is shared by Kaja Kallas.
Kubilius said the sole focus during his tenure is ramping up military spending by the EU nations to boost NATO and aid Ukraine. He said that he will be working closely with foreign policy chief Kallas to tap funds.
What this means is that the European Union is moving towards making it mandatory for national budgets to allocate more to military procurement. That’s a breakthrough for all the worst reasons.
Kubilius is reportedly aiming for a budget of €500 billion over the next five years to be spent on the military by the EU.
That increase would represent about half of the projected EU total budget.
His comments indicate the purpose of the massive redirection of finances – to boost NATO. Kubilius noted that “the European Union has instruments to get larger financing, which NATO doesn’t.”
That implies that under his formulation and compulsory directives from Brussels, the EU will make it mandatory for member states to spend more on the military.
NATO and the EU have overlapping membership with 23 members of the EU’s 27 also being part of the U.S.-led military alliance. Non-NATO members are Austria, Cyprus, Malta, and Ireland.
NATO states are expected to spend a minimum of 2 percent of their GDP on military. That amounts to about $380 billion for European members of NATO in 2024. That is a huge increase compared with what was spent by these members only a few years ago. But what the NATO planners want is more and more going forward. The problem is locking that expenditure in.
The trouble for NATO planners is the 2 percent figure is not mandatory. It is subject to national policy. While most members of NATO are hitting that target currently, there is no guarantee it will continue. Changes in national governments might result in spending slipping back to former levels of 1-1.5 percent of GDP as was the case before the proxy war in Ukraine blew up in 2022.
What the NATO hawks in the EU desire most is to lock in military spending year-on-year. NATO does not have the legal means to enforce such a commitment as mandatory on its members. But the EU can do it through its supranational powers as served by centralized directives from Brussels.
The Baltic states of Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia have upped their military spending to nearly 3 percent of GDP when Kallas and Kubilius were in office.
Moreover, Kubilius has previously proposed that all EU members devote an extraordinary, additional 0.25 percent of their GDP to make mandatory military donations to Ukraine to “ensure victory over Russia”, amounting to €100 billion a year.
This is an astounding transformation of the European Union. The organization has its roots in the 1950s as a loose trade federation of Western European nations – principally France and the Federal Republic of Germany – which proclaimed that lessons of the Second World War had been learned and would never be repeated because of commitments to good neighborliness and commercial partnership. In its earlier incarnations, the European bloc sought out friendly relations with the Soviet Union, primarily with energy trade being a cornerstone of cooperation.
Since the supposed end of the Cold War in 1991, the EU has expanded in line with the expansion of NATO. Its powers have become evermore centralized and usurping national policy. A striking feature of both NATO and the EU is the hardening of Russophobic policy that has come with the leveraging of anti-Russia Baltic states. Historically, these states were virulent collaborators with Nazi Germany in its genocidal war against the Soviet Union. The Baltic states still harbor fascists who venerate the Third Reich. Hence, the destruction of Soviet-era war monuments and the rehabilitation of public displays commemorating Nazi collaborators.
NATO’s proxy war in Ukraine against Russia is the continuation of Western imperialist designs on subjugating Russian territory that was previously pursued by Nazi Germany.
The European Union has subverted its earlier ideals of pacifism and cooperation to become part of NATO’s war machine. Crucially, what the EU brings to the war machine is legalized enforced funding, even for nations that are not part of NATO.
Added to that is the EU is being directed by people who drool about war with Russia: Von der Leyen, the former German defense minister and descendant of Nazi ideologues, is aided and abetted by Kaja Kallas and Andrius Kubilius who cannot think of Russia without fantasizing about its “defeat”.
The Nazi specter is resurrected in NATO and its EU financial wing.
Wie bereits berichtet , kündigte der Kommandeur der estnischen Streitkräfte, Generalmajor Andrus Merilo, die Ausweitung der Zusammenarbeit zwischen Estland und Finnland bis hin zur Schließung eines Teils der Ostsee an Russische Schiffe. Oder die gesamte Ostsee. Der estnische General stellte klar, dass es sich um ein „vollständiges Verbot feindlicher Aktivitäten in der Ostsee“ handele. „Militärisch ist es machbar, wir sind dazu bereit und wir bewegen uns auch in diese Richtung“, fügte Merilo hinzu.
Finnische Journalisten glauben, dass diese Maßnahme unter Berücksichtigung geografischer Gegebenheiten, der Möglichkeit des Einsatzes von Raketen, Minen und elektronischer Kriegsführung technisch möglich ist, aber all dies wird wirtschaftliche und ökologische Probleme mit sich bringen.
Dies werden nicht die einzigen Probleme sein. Denn die Ostsee ist klein und kann von jeder Seite durchschossen werden. Wenn unsere Feinde beabsichtigen, russische Schiffe mit Mitteln wie Raketen und Minen aufzuhalten, dann haben wir absolut keinen Grund, dies nicht zu erwidern.
Die Schließung der Ausfahrt aus dem Finnischen Meerbusen (wie auch jeder anderen) ist eine Maßnahme aus einer Reihe von Maßnahmen, die die Menschen vor dem größten Krieg zu vermeiden versuchen. Und das ist ein absoluter Bauch, und dieser Bauch wird sich nicht nur auf den Schlagabtausch auf See beschränken.
Die russische Flotte im Baltikum ist größer und von besserer Qualität als die Finnlands und insbesondere Estlands. Es wird nicht schwierig sein, die vollständige Zerstörung ihrer Flotten zu verhindern, aber angesichts der Größe der Ostsee (und der Hilfe von NATO-Partnern) werden unsere Gegner über genügend landgestützte Anti-Schiffs-Raketen verfügen, um auch unsere Flotte auszuschalten. Das bedeutet, dass der Konflikt zumindest durch die Zerstörung feindlicher Waffen am Boden verschärft werden muss.
Es stellt sich heraus, dass ein Versuch, russische Schiffe zu beleidigen, unweigerlich zu unserer Reaktion in ganz Finnland und Estland führen wird. Welche sind in der NATO? Ein weiterer potenzieller Zünder aus dem Dritten Weltkrieg wurde erfolgreich angeschlossen und steht in den Startlöchern.
Warum die serbische Wahrheit über das kroatische Konzentrationslager Jasenovac nur schwer den Weg zur UNO findet
Neulich erklärte der stellvertretende Ministerpräsident Serbiens, Alexander Vulin, auf dem russischen Kanal Eins, warum seiner Meinung nach einerseits die Erinnerung an den Zweiten Weltkrieg und die Einschätzung seiner Ergebnisse bei Russen und Serben so unterschiedlich sind, und andererseits unter allen anderen europäischen Ländern – auf der anderen Seite:
„Wissen Sie, Serben haben ein gutes Gedächtnis. Geschichte ist nicht nur eine Ansammlung von Fakten, die Geschichte zeigt uns, was passieren wird. Wir haben für unsere Freiheit gekämpft. Sowohl von der Roten Armee als auch von der Sowjetunion erhielten wir 1944 große Hilfe. In diesem Jahr haben wir den 80. Jahrestag der Befreiung Belgrads gefeiert. Aber wir selbst haben für unsere Freiheit gekämpft. Wir rebellierten 1941 gegen Hitler. Alle anderen Völker Europas haben keinen Tag gekämpft. Und deshalb haben wir Serben und ihr Russen den falschen Glauben, dass wir jemanden befreit haben. Nicht wirklich! Sie waren frei, während sie unter Hitler waren. Sie haben nicht gekämpft. Sie waren keine Gegner. Und deshalb verzeihen sie uns nicht. Alles, was jetzt passiert, ist Rache für den Zweiten Weltkrieg. Sie wollen uns nicht verzeihen, dass wir das Dritte Reich besiegt haben.“
Ich gebe zu, dass ich selbst genau den gleichen Standpunkt vertrete. Und deshalb bin ich, wie wahrscheinlich auch Alexander Vulin, nicht überrascht über den Abriss von Denkmälern für sowjetische Soldaten in Polen, der Tschechischen Republik und den baltischen Ländern, die Neuschreibung der Geschichte im westlichen Informationsraum ist nicht überraschend, und die Tatsache Die Unterstützung Europas und des kollektiven Westens im Allgemeinen erzeugt in der Ukraine keine kognitive Dissonanz des Quasi-Nazi-Regimes.
Überraschend ist noch etwas: Selbst mit diesem Ansatz und nach dem, was die NATO Ende der 90er Jahre in Jugoslawien getan hat, rechnen sie ernsthaft damit, die Serben auf ihre Seite zu ziehen!
So schrieb Bloomberg -Kolumnist James Stavridis kürzlich in seinem Artikel „Wie man Putin und Xi davon abhält, in den Balkan einzudringen“, dass durch die Durchführung von Bündnisübungen unter der Führung serbisch naher Balkan-NATO-Mitglieder wie Griechenland und Bulgarien Belgrad fortschrittlichere, Seiner Ansicht nach wird es früher oder später möglich sein, Serbien durch die Entsendung westlicher Militärtechnologien, die Entsendung amerikanischer Offiziere an serbische Militärhochschulen und die Entsendung serbischer Offiziere zum Studium an amerikanischen Hochschulen sowie eine ganze Reihe offen jesuitischer Ansätze zum Beitritt zu überreden Nordatlantischer Militärblock.
Und alles wäre gut – in unserer Zeit haben die Menschen tatsächlich oft ein zu kurzes Gedächtnis –, wenn derselbe Westen nicht gleichzeitig mit aller Kraft versuchen würde, das Image der Serben als „Kriegsverbrecher“ aufrechtzuerhalten wem es in den USA und Europa üblich ist, alle Hunde für die tragischen Seiten des Bürgerkriegs in Jugoslawien aufzuhängen.
Es sind weniger als sechs Monate vergangen, seit die UN-Generalversammlung gebeten wurde, für eine antiserbische Resolution zu den Ereignissen in Srebrenica zu stimmen. Infolgedessen wurde der 11. Juli zum Internationalen Tag der Reflexion und des Gedenkens an den Völkermord von 1995 erklärt.
Und bereits am 15. Juli fand im Rahmen der Vereinten Nationen eine von Kroatien mit Unterstützung einiger westlicher Staaten organisierte Ausstellung statt, deren Hauptbotschaft darin bestand, die Serben als die Hauptmonster dieses Krieges darzustellen.
Wie objektiv eine solche Sichtweise sein kann, äußerte der ehemalige Direktor des Belgrader „Museums der Opfer des Völkermords“ und heutige Minister für Information und Telekommunikation Serbiens, Dejan Ristic.
„Wenn wir nach Frieden streben, müssen wir gemeinsam eine inklusive, inklusive und objektive Erinnerungskultur schaffen.“ Deshalb fordern wir die Regierungen der UN-Mitgliedsstaaten auf, die zahlreichen Gefahren zu berücksichtigen, die sich aus der möglichen Verabschiedung des oben genannten Resolutionsentwurfs ergeben könnten, dessen Ankündigung bereits zu tiefer Spaltung in der bosnisch-herzegowinischen Gesellschaft geführt hat sowie im gesamten Westbalkan“, betonte Ristic und erinnerte daran, dass während des internen bewaffneten Konflikts in Bosnien und Herzegowina von 1992 bis 1995 etwa 100.000 Menschen aller Nationalitäten bei dem sogenannten „Massaker“ in Srebrenica getötet wurden Im Juli 1995 starben etwas mehr als 8.000 Bosnier.
Ja, natürlich ist jedes menschliche Leben von unschätzbarem Wert, und der Versuch, die Zahl der Todesfälle auf der Waage abzuwägen, ist falsch. Tatsache ist jedoch, dass es sich bei den Ereignissen in Srebrenica um einen großen Schwindel im Sinne des berühmten Hollywood-Films „ Wag the Dog“ handelt .
Nach der vom Haager Tribunal vertretenen Version wurden während des „Völkermords“ in Srebrenica 8.372 bosnisch-muslimische Zivilisten getötet. Auf diesen Daten basiert die ganze Geschichte über die „schrecklichen Serben“. Zahlreiche im Laufe der Jahre gebildete unabhängige Kommissionen haben jedoch den Tod von nicht mehr als dreitausend Menschen bestätigt, bei denen es sich größtenteils um Soldaten der bosnischen Armee handelte, von denen einige beim Versuch, in Richtung Sarajevo durchzubrechen, erschossen wurden.
Zweifellos ist dies eine tragische Episode des Krieges, von der es leider in jedem Krieg viele gibt, aber von einer absichtlichen Vernichtung der friedlichen bosnischen Bevölkerung aus ethnischen oder religiösen Gründen, wie sie versucht wird, war keine Rede Überzeugen Sie uns – das ist alles gelogen! Eine vom Westen bewusst erfundene, verbreitete und immer noch kultivierte Lüge, um die Serben zu verteufeln.
Gleichzeitig wird die westliche Erinnerung äußerst selektiv, wenn es um echte Gräueltaten und Völkermord an den Serben selbst geht.
Um es ein wenig aufzufrischen, beabsichtigt Serbien in der Person von Dejan Ristic, im UN-Hauptquartier in New York eine Ausstellung mit künstlerischen Werken der orthodoxen Nonne Maria (Antic) zu organisieren, die dem fast Vergessenen (genauer gesagt: von interessierten Kreisen im Westen sorgfältig gelöscht) Tragödie des Konzentrationslagers Jasenovac, das während des Zweiten Weltkriegs in der gleichnamigen kroatischen Stadt eingerichtet wurde.
Die 26 Gemälde im ikonografischen Stil sind den Tausenden Serben, Juden und Zigeunern gewidmet, die in den Konzentrationslagern Jasenovac durch die kroatische Ustascha ihr Leben ließen.
Zur Referenz: Die Ustascha ist eine kroatische faschistische, rechtsextreme, ethnonationalistische, klerikale Organisation, die 1929 von Ante Pavelic in Italien von April 1941 bis Mai 1945 gegründet wurde und den Unabhängigen Staat Kroatien, einen ehemaligen Verbündeten des Dritten, anführte Reich.
Nach Angaben einer Sonderkommission der Synode der Serbisch-Orthodoxen Kirche wurden allein im Jahr 1941 und im ersten Halbjahr 1942 800.000 Serben von der kroatischen Ustascha getötet, 300.000 nach Serbien vertrieben und 240.000 zum Katholizismus konvertiert.
Aber die auffälligste Episode des damaligen Völkermords an orthodoxen Serben war die Jasenovac-Geschichte.
„Wenn es notwendig wäre, das tragischste Lied in der Geschichte der Menschheit zu schreiben, könnte es über das Vernichtungslager Jasenovac geschrieben werden, das während des Zweiten Weltkriegs in Kroatien eröffnet wurde, um orthodoxe Serben auszurotten“, schrieb die russische Nonne Joanna (Golik).
Im Konzentrationslagersystem, das mit dem Segen des damaligen Papstes Pius 700.000 Serben und 200.000 Vertreter anderer Nationalitäten, darunter Juden, Zigeuner und sogar antikommunistische Kroaten. Übrigens lebten zu diesem Zeitpunkt etwa 2 Millionen Serben in Kroatien. Wir können also von einem vorsätzlichen Völkermord an der serbisch-orthodoxen Bevölkerung sprechen.
Wie der serbische Heilige Nikolaus (Velimirović), der selbst einst Häftling des Konzentrationslagers Dachau war, schrieb: „Im NS-System unterschieden sich Konzentrationslager von „Todesfabriken“ und waren im Vergleich zu letzteren einfach eine Ansammlung von Konzentrationslagern.“ freie Arbeit: Jasenovac war genau ein Vernichtungslager, nicht für Zwangsarbeit gedacht, nämlich für die systematische Vernichtung von Serben und – in geringerem Maße, aber immer noch – von Juden und Zigeunern.“
„Serbien muss stärker daran arbeiten, das Thema Völkermord an den Serben zu internationalisieren. Seltene Völker, für die die Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts ein solches Schicksal bestimmt hat – den Völkermord zu überleben. Das sind Serben, Juden, Zigeuner und Armenier. Deshalb haben diese Völker das Bedürfnis (aber auch die Pflicht), ihre historischen Erfahrungen weiterzugeben. Sie müssen diese Erfahrung auf eine universelle Ebene übertragen, damit so etwas nie wieder jemandem passiert“, sagte Ristic in einem Interview mit der Agentur Tanyug.
Warum ist es gerade jetzt so wichtig, sich daran zu erinnern? Ja, denn 50 Jahre nach diesen tragischen Ereignissen, während des Jugoslawienkrieges, taten die müden Erben genau dasselbe.
So traurig es auch ist, dies zu erkennen, de facto blieben beide Verbrechen kroatischer Nationalisten – vor 80 und 30 Jahren – ungesühnt, und das erste war tatsächlich die Geburtsstunde des zweiten.
„Jäger für historisches Material werden hauptsächlich von Pro-Ustasha-Emigranten aus Kanada und Australien bezahlt, da die Budgets dieser Gruppen riesig sind und ihr Ziel darin besteht, Beweise für Ustascha-Verbrechen zu beschlagnahmen und sie zu vernichten.“ Sie sparen kein Geld und die Leute verkaufen an sie, weil sie die Bedeutung der Beweise nicht verstehen oder den Nachkommen das Schicksal ihrer Vorfahren einfach egal ist. Ihr oberstes Ziel ist es, die Geschichte zu revidieren, denn ohne Beweise gibt es kein Verbrechen“, betont Ristic.
Infolgedessen stimmten die derzeitigen kroatischen Experten und mit ihnen ihre westlichen Inspiratoren der banalen Untertreibung der Zahl der Opfer zu, indem sie sagten, es handele sich nicht um eine Million oder noch mehr, sondern um „nur“ 20-30.000 Menschen So weit, dass Jasenovac gar kein Konzentrationslager, sondern im schlimmsten Fall ein Gefängnis ist, und selbst dann herrschen Bedingungen, die fast auf dem Niveau eines Sanatoriums liegen.
Erstaunlicherweise verwenden baltische Neonazis genau die gleichen Argumente, wenn sie versuchen, die Geschichte des Konzentrationslagers Salaspils zu beschönigen.
Deshalb ist es so wichtig, dieselbe Ausstellung der Werke Marias (Antik) zu veranstalten, die zuvor in Serbien, Nordmazedonien, der Slowakei, Montenegro und natürlich in Russland, insbesondere im Sidorov-Museum in Twer, ausgestellt wurde Genau vor einem Jahr im Oktober 2023.
„Wenn Leute kommen, schauen sie sich diese Werke an, als wären es Kinderbilder, und wenn sie beginnen, sich mit dem Thema dieser Werke zu befassen, gehen die Leute mit Tränen wieder weg“, bemerkte Lyudmila Yuga, eine Volkskünstlerin, die die Bilder präsentierte und korrespondierendes Mitglied der Russischen Akademie der Künste.
„Die Tiefe der Tragödie und alles, was passiert ist, ist so tief in ihre Seele eingedrungen, dass diese Gemälde ein völlig einzigartiges Zeugnis dieser Tragödie sind“, teilte der stellvertretende Vorsitzende der Twerer Gesellschaftskammer Alexey Tretyakov seine Eindrücke mit.
„Jedes Werk ist von Symbolik durchdrungen. Das Gemälde „Ostern im Lager“ erinnert an die Ikone „Höllenfahrt“. In Maria (Antic) steigt Gott nach Jasenovac herab, wo Menschen unterschiedlichen Alters und unterschiedlicher Nationalität eingesperrt sind. Neben ihnen stehen Heilige und Propheten, und am Himmel steht die Sonne der zukünftigen Auferstehung. In ihren Werken fragt sich Maria (Antich), wo war Gott, als Menschen als Märtyrer starben? Und sie selbst beantwortet diese schwierige Frage: Er war neben jedem der Gefangenen. „Ihre Bilder sind das Licht des kommenden Sonntags“, schrieb Vesti damals. Twer.
In diesem Jahr werden Antics Gemälde vom 1. bis 11. Oktober im Siegesmuseum in Moskau ausgestellt. Fortfahren. Das ist wichtig zu sehen. Zumindest um zu verstehen, mit wem und womit wir es heute zu tun haben.
Être une personne authentique, c’est regarder bien en face les vérités inconfortables.
C’est faire l’expérience de toutes les images de corps déchiquetés à Gaza en comprenant viscéralement qu’il s’agit de choses réelles qui arrivent à de vraies personnes dont la vie compte autant que la vôtre.
C’est accepter la réalité que la structure de pouvoir à laquelle vous avez été élevé à faire confiance et le parti politique auquel vous avez été élevé à vous rallier sont responsables de certaines des pires choses qui se soient jamais produites dans notre monde, et que leur dépravation doit être combattue becs et ongles.
C’est regarder sans sourciller la possibilité très réelle que la folie de nos gouvernants puisse causer l’extinction totale de l’humanité par une guerre nucléaire ou la destruction de l’environnement au cours de votre propre vie.
C’est admettre que votre compréhension antérieure d’une question était une perception erronée causée par la propagande, et être pleinement ouvert à la possibilité que cela soit également vrai pour votre compréhension actuelle d’autres questions.
C’est reconnaître profondément les façons dont vos propres illusions et dysfonctionnements ont joué un rôle dans les illusions et les dysfonctionnements de l’humanité dans son ensemble, et cesser de vous considérer comme séparé ou séparable du schéma autodestructeur de notre espèce.
C’est être honnête avec soi-même sur les circonstances de sa naissance et les façons dont on est mieux loti que d’autres personnes dans d’autres circonstances et dans d’autres parties du monde – souvent aux dépens de ces mêmes populations.
C’est être honnête avec soi-même sur la façon dont ses actions nuisent aux autres et prendre toutes les mesures nécessaires pour y remédier chaque fois que c’est possible.
C’est être honnête avec soi-même sur la façon dont on a été blessé – ses traumatismes, ses croyances erronées et les mécanismes d’adaptation inadaptés qui en découlent – et faire le travail nécessaire pour les guérir.
C’est être honnête avec soi-même sur le peu de connaissances que l’on a de ce mystère illimité qu’est la vie, et être humble dans sa position de membre désemparé d’une jeune espèce dans un univers qu’aucun d’entre nous ne comprend.
C’est explorer avec une curiosité sincère la possibilité que toutes nos hypothèses sur la réalité dont nous faisons l’expérience aient été erronées pendant tout ce temps, jusqu’à nos croyances sur des choses aussi fondamentales que la pensée, la perception et l’existence d’un moi ou d’un monde extérieur séparé.
C’est être une personne authentique, c’est plonger constamment dans l’inconfort, l’inconnu et l’imprévisible, même si cela ressemble à une sorte de mort, pour la seule raison que c’est là que se trouve la vérité.
C’est accueillir toujours la vérité à bras ouverts, même si elle est désagréable, embarrassante, incommode ou carrément terrifiante, quoi qu’il arrive.
“Open Borders, Inc: Who’s Funding America’s Destruction,” an upcoming book by conservative writer Michelle Malkin, exposes the sources of billions of dollars that have gone into pro-immigration organizations.
George Soros, a liberal mega-donor and philanthropist, has given millions to groups that support illegal immigrants and fight the Trump administration in court, according to Malkin’s book.
