Der Zweck Olympias: Ausbau des digitalen Gefängnisses

von Thomas Oysmüller3,9 Minuten Lesezeit

Die Pariser Spiele beweisen, dass die digitalen Werkzeuge zur Bevölkerungskontrolle, die während Covid eingeführt wurden, gekommen sind, um zu bleiben. QR-Codes, Ausgangssperren und Tausende Polizisten regeln die französische Hauptstadt.

Fast alle Olympischen Spiele in diesem Jahrtausend wurden genutzt, um vor Ort die Überwachung auszubauen. Nach der „Übung Corona“, wodurch viele digitale Überwachungsinstrumente erstmals flächendeckend eingeführt worden sind, geht dies noch einmal ein bisschen weiter. Die Pariser Spiele zeigen deutlich, wie die „smarten Überwachungswerkzeuge“, etwa der „Grüne Pass“, nun zur Kontrolle und Überwachung der Bevölkerung eingesetzt werden. So haben die Olympischen Spiele einen besonderen gesellschaftspolitischen Zweck: Den Ausbau der digitalen Überwachung.

QR-Paris

Ein französischer Blog vermutet, dass die Welt aktuell wohl die „repressivsten Olympischen Spiele der Geschichte“ erleben dürfte.

„Im Römischen Reich versprachen die Herrscher Brot und Spiele, um das Volk ruhig zu halten. Grandiose Feste wurden dem Volk angeboten, um die Macht und Großzügigkeit des Kaisers zu verkörpern. Im Jahr 2024 wird es für das Volk kein Brot und keine Spiele mehr geben, sondern nur noch die Polizei. In Frankreich ist die Armut explodiert, Eintrittskarten für die Spiele sind so teuer, dass sie für die meisten Menschen nicht zugänglich sind, die Transportkosten haben sich verdoppelt und die Stadt, in der der Wettbewerb stattfindet, ist ohnehin abgesperrt und der Zutritt verboten.“

Denn ohne speziellen QR-Code ist Zutritt in einen großen Teil Paris aktuell nicht gestattet. 44.000 Zäune sichern die zentralen Bezirke ab. Ganze Stadtviertel wurden leer geräumt:

„Dabei kommt es seit einer Woche zu surrealen Szenen, etwa von Mitarbeitern, die die Beherrschung verlieren, weil sie ihren Arbeitsplatz nicht erreichen können, oder von Polizisten, die sagen, dass die Sonne ‚den QR-Code auf Telefonen unleserlich macht‘, ’selbst, wenn die Helligkeit auf Maximum eingestellt ist, funktioniert es nicht, den Pass auszuwerten.“

In der „Grauzone“ zwischen olympischer Stadt und außerhalb erlebt man menschleere Boulevards, eine „Geisterstadt“, so Einheimische, die ihr Sommergeschäft verlieren:

 Und am Rande des Perimeters trinken die Kunden auf Barterrassen, die wie in einem Käfig von Grills umgeben sind. Die Beschränkungen sind so groß, dass sie den Zugang zu bestimmten Krankenhäusern in der Sperrzone behindern, wodurch Patienten bestraft werden, die lebenswichtige Pflege, beispielsweise Dialyse, benötigen.

Im Fernsehen beklagen kleine Pariser Händler den Zusammenbruch ihres Geschäft mit Kunden. Sie scheinen zu entdecken, dass niemand kommt, wenn man überall Kontrollpunkte, bewaffnete Polizisten und QR-Codes aufstellt und die Preise mit 10 multipliziert.

Wie wir angekündigt haben, war die Covid-Pandemie ein Laboratorium für Experimente mit Mitteln zur Bewegungskontrolle, die in der Geschichte der Menschheit beispiellos waren. Jetzt wendet die französische Regierung die gleichen Methoden bei einer einfachen Sportveranstaltung an. Morgen wird das die Norm sein.

Die rechtlichen Möglichkeiten hat man dafür bereits Ende März 2023 geschaffen. Im „Olympiagesetz“ wurde die automatisierte biometrische Videoüberwachung genehmigt. Europaweit ist das bisher einmalig. Mithilfe von Algorithmen sollen die Kameras nun „abnormales Verhalten“ erkennen. Offiziell befindet sich das System in der „Testphase“. Allerdings läuft diese Phase von den Olympischen Spielen bis Ende Juni 2025. Die „Verhaltensanalysealgorithmen“ operieren in Bahnhöfen und U-Bahn-Stationen, an öffentlichen Plätzen und auch an olympischen Orten außerhalb von Paris. Datenschützer sehen ganz klar eine politische Absicht, die Bevölkerung an diese Technologie zu gewöhnen.

Französische Repression

Als wäre das nicht genug, hat sich Paris auch zu einer „Anti-Terror-Stadt“ verwandelt – eine Kombination aus dem Ausnahmezustand von 2005 (Terror) und 2020 (Seuche). So die französischen Kritiker:

Der Staat gibt an, 155 „einzelne Maßnahmen der administrativen Kontrolle und Überwachung“ (MICAS) gegen Personen ergriffen zu haben, die von den Geheimdiensten als „gefährlich“ eingestuft wurden. Diese Maßnahmen ermöglichen es jemandem ohne Gerichtsverfahren die Freiheit zu entziehen. Und die meisten der Zielpersonen wurden nie verurteilt oder gar strafrechtlich verfolgt.

Am Freitag, bei der skandalösen Eröffnungsfeier sperrte man dann den gesamten Luftraum im Umkreis von 150 Kilometern um Paris. Nur Drohnen und militärische Helikopter waren unterwegs. Fast 100 Polizeiboote patrouillierten um die Seine. Ab 13 Uhr wurde ein Drittel von Paris abgeriegelt – durch 60.000 Polizisten, Gendarmen und Soldaten. Die Bewohner werden aufgefordert, zu Hause zu bleiben. Alle U-Bahn-Stationen in der Nähe der Seine werden geschlossen: „Bisher waren die Olympischen Spiele eine Gelegenheit, über Sport zu sprechen, Sportler zu entdecken und bestimmte, wenig bekannte Disziplinen zu fördern. Doch die französischen Medien beschlossen, sich ausschließlich auf die Polizei zu konzentrieren. Logisch in einem autoritären Staat, der nur durch Repression nicht zusammenbricht.“

US military presence around the world

(First Published On 10 September 2021)

By Mohammed Hussein and Mohammed Haddad

The US controls about 750 bases in at least 80 countries worldwide and spends more on its military than the next 10 countries combined.

In the early morning hours of August 31, the last American soldiers lifted off from Kabul airport, officially ending the 20-year war in Afghanistan, the longest in US history.

At its peak in 2011, the US had approximately 100,000 troops across at least 10 military bases from Bagram to Kandahar. In total, more than 800,000 US soldiers served in the war according to the Pentagon.

While no US troops remain on the ground today, US President Joe Biden said that his military will continue to conduct air raids against enemy targets from “over-the-horizon” – air missions from a vast network of US bases around the region.

Upwards of 750 US bases around the world

According to David Vine, ​​professor of political anthropology at the American University in Washington, DC, the US had around 750 bases in at least 80 countries as of July 2021.

The actual number may be even higher as not all data is published by the Pentagon.

With 120 active bases, Japan has the highest number of US bases in the world followed by Germany with 119 and South Korea with 73.

US military base sites fall under two main categories:

Large bases or “Bases”: Defined as military installations larger than 4 hectares (10 acres) or worth more than $10 million. These bases typically have in excess of 200 US military personnel. 439 or 60 percent of the US’s foreign bases fall under this category.

Small bases or “Lily Pads”: These bases are smaller than 4 hectares(10 acres) or have a value of less than $10 million. These include cooperative security locations and forward operating sites. The remaining 40 percent of US foreign bases fall under this category.

According to global US military deployment data published in the Conflict Management and Peace Science Journal, the US had around 173,000 troops deployed in 159 countries as of 2020.

Like the US bases, the countries with the most number of US troops include Japan with 53,700, Germany with 33,900 and South Korea with 26,400.

US military presence in the Middle East

According to the Watson Institute at Brown University, between 1.9 and three million US service members have served in Afghanistan and Iraq since 2001, with over half of them deployed more than once.

The largest US military installation in the Middle East is the Al Udeid Air Base, located west of Doha, Qatar. Established in 1996, it hosts around 11,000 American and coalition service members. Covering an area of 24 hectares (60 acres), the base accommodates almost 100 aircraft as well as drones.

On October 7, 2001, the US under President George W Bush invaded Afghanistan following the 9/11 attacks. The coalition he led accused the ruling Taliban regime of harbouring Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader who claimed responsibility for the attacks.

An estimated 241,000 people have died as a direct result of the war since 2001, according to the Costs of War project at Brown University. In addition, hundreds of thousands more, mostly civilians, have died due to hunger, disease and injury caused by the devastating war.

In 2003, the US invaded Iraq after it accused long-time Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein of having weapons of mass destruction – none was found. At its peak in 2007, the US had an estimated 170,000 troops in the country. Today, there are around 2,500 US troops in the country as part of a security agreement with the Iraqi government.

US military presence in Japan and South Korea

The US has been in Japan since the end of World War II (1939-1945) and in South Korea since the Korean War (1950-1953).

Nearly half of all US military deployed abroad, some 80,100 American personnel, are stationed in Japan with 53,700 and South Korea with 26,400.

South Korea hosts Camp Humphreys, the largest overseas US military base, located approximately 65km (40 miles) south of the capital Seoul.

The 1,398 hectares (3,454 acres) base is one of 80 bases in the country and is less than 100km (60 miles) from the heavily fortified demilitarized zone that demarcates North Korea from South Korea.

US military presence in Europe

Europe is home to at least 60,000 US troops. At 33,900, Germany has the highest number of US troops in Europe – and the second highest in the world – followed by Italy at 12,300 and the UK at 9,300. However, the number of US troops stationed in Germany has more than halved between 2006 and 2020, dropping from 72,400 to 33,900.

The Ramstein Air Base in Germany is the largest hub for US troops and military supplies in Europe. Just outside the 1,200 hectares (3,000 acres) base is the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, the largest US military hospital outside the US. The facility was used extensively during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars and treated thousands of wounded soldiers.

Like nearly all US bases, Ramstein is equipped with hospitals, schools, power stations, apartment complexes and a host of amenities often referred to as “Burger Kings and bowling alleys”.

US military presence in Latin America

Located on the eastern tip of Cuba, the Guantanamo Bay naval base is the US’s oldest overseas military base. The 116sq km (45 sq miles) facility has been under American control since the end of the 19th century.

The base is a hotly debated issue between the US and Cuba. For decades, Cuba has insisted that the US hand back the territory it took by force in 1898 and subsequently leased permanently in 1903.

US troop deployment since 1950

Over the past 70 years, the US military has been deployed to more than 200 countries and territories.

The infographic below shows a brief history of where the US has deployed its troops since the end of World War II, along with the wars it has fought in.

1950-1953

Following the surrender of the Japanese to the Allies that ended World War II, the US and the Soviet Union divided Korea, which had been under Japanese rule, along the 38th parallel, roughly bisecting the Korean peninsula.

On June 25, 1950, North Korean forces, backed by China and the Soviet Union, invaded the South triggering the start of the Korean War. Allied with the South, the US deployed some 1.78 million troops over the three-year-long war.

It is estimated that between 2 to 3 million civilians died during the war. According to the US Department of Defense, the US suffered 33,739 deaths in battle. No formal peace treaty was ever signed.

1955-1975

Tensions between the US and the Soviet Union continued to brew in Southeast Asia in the 1950s and 1960s. The main conflict pitted the communist government of North Vietnam against South Vietnam and its ally, the US.

Over 3.4 million US troops were deployed to Southeast Asia; in excess of three million people, including over 58,000 Americans, were killed in the war.

On March 29, 1973, the last US combat troops left Vietnam. Two years later on April 30, 1975, communist forces seized control of South Vietnam and ended the war.

1990-1991

On August 2, 1990, the Iraqi army invaded Kuwait, a small oil-rich nation to the country’s south. One week later, on August 9, the US began Operation Desert Shield, and deployed thousands of troops to Saudi Arabia.

During the brief war, around 694,550 American troops were deployed to the region. On February 28, 1991, US President George HW Bush declared a ceasefire, and on April 3 of that same year, the UN passed a resolution formally ending the conflict.

2001-2021

The period following the 9/11 attacks, and the declaration of war on both Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003, saw a large spike in troops abroad. At least 800,000 Americans served in Afghanistan and more than 1.5 million in Iraq over the past 20 years.

The human cost of the wars is estimated to have killed more than 900,000 people – mostly civilians.

US military spending since 1950

In 2020, the US spent $778bn on its military – the largest military spender in the world and more than the next 10 countries combined – according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).

China ranked second at $252bn, followed by India at $73bn, Russia at $62bn and the UK at $59bn.

Over the past 20 years alone, the US has spent $8 trillion on its so-called “global war on terror” according to the Costs of War project at Brown University. The war in Afghanistan accounts for $2.3 trillion which, according to Brown University researchers, equals more than $300 million a day for 20 years.

$2.1 trillion was spent on the wars in Iraq and Syria, and $355bn was attributed to other wars. The rest of the money includes in excess of $1bn in interest payments for the huge amounts of money borrowed to fund the wars as well as more than $2.2bn in obligations for veterans’ care over the next 30 years. This means that, even after the US has left Afghanistan, it will continue to pay for the wars for years to come.

CITING WCW EXPOSÉS, 25 LAWMAKERS PROBE PENTAGON ABOUT PAINFUL PET EXPERIMENTATION

POSTED BY 

AMANDA NIEVES

BLOG

  • Citing White Coat Waste Project investigations, 25 Republicans and Democrats are demanding details from the Department of Defense about its taxpayer-funded pet abuse
  • WCW exposed how the DOD is wasting millions of tax dollars to abuse and kill dogs and cats in painful experiments
  • Following WCW’s campaigns and lobbying, the House recently passed historic legislation to stop the DOD from funding any experiments on dogs and cats
  • WCW has exposed DOD’s wasteful spending since 2016, when we detailed deadly beagle experiments in our landmark “Spending to Death” report

Last month, the House of Representatives unanimously passed bipartisan legislation defunding the Department of Defense (DOD)’s abuse of dogs and cats in experiments. This historic move–the first time Congress ever voted to defund all dog and cat testing at the DOD–was prompted by recent White Coat Waste Project (WCW) investigations and lobbying.

Now, citing WCW’s findings, Congress is demanding details from the DOD about the full extent of its taxpayer-funded pet abuse.

In a new bipartisan letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin co-led by Reps. Young Kim (R-CA) and Don Davis (D-NC), 25 lawmakers write, “We are concerned by the DoD’s use of taxpayer dollars on inhumane dog experiments for human drugs and do not believe it is a prudent use of its resources.” The group requests details on all dog and cat experiments funded with tax dollars by the DOD over the past five years.

Joining Reps. Kim and Davis on the letter to DOD are Sanford Bishop (D-GA), Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), Veronica Escobar (D-TX), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), Jared Huffman (D-CA), John James (R-MI), Hank Johnson (D-GA), Jennifer Kiggans (R-VA), Mike Lawler (R-NY), Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), Marc Molinaro (R-NY), Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), Troy Nehls (R-TX) Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), Chris Smith (R-NJ), Greg Steube (R-FL), Dina Titus (D-NV), David Valadao (R-CA), Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), Mike Waltz (R-FL), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), and Brandon Williams (R-NY).

WCW’s recent exposés uncovered millions in wasteful DOD spending for experimental drug testing that poisons puppies and horrendous experiments that electro-shock and cripple cats to study erectile dysfunction and constipation.


The DOD’s pet abuse exposed by WCW has garnered criticism from medical expertslawmakers, the press, and WCW advocates nationwide. WCW has also filed a lawsuit against the DOD for failing to comply with a Freedom of Information Act request about its cat testing.


WCW is a bipartisan campaign to expose and close the U.S. government’s $20 billion cat and dog testing business. You can help!

Take a moment to send a pre-written email to your members of Congress urging them to de-fund ALL spending on cat and dog testing at the Pentagon!

Zivilgesellschaft in Not: Und wieder schließt eine Bäckerei – für immer

Ein Artikel von Frank Blenz

Die folgende Geschichte ist eine für die herrschende politische Klasse sicher ganz und gar unbedeutende. In meiner Heimatstadt, in meiner Region (und nicht nur hier) trägt sich Tag für Tag Schicksalhaftes zu. Beispiel: Wieder (!) dreht eine traditionsreiche Bäckerfamilie den Schlüssel an der Tür ihres Unternehmens für immer um und schließt. Dieses Drama steht für den jämmerlichen, skandalösen Zustand unseres Landes, in dem voller negativer Energie stur und zynisch dem Aufrüsten in allen Bereichen Vorfahrt gewährt wird, während die Zivilgesellschaft, das tägliche Leben bis hin zum Backen unser aller täglich Brotes mehr und mehr vor die Hunde gehen. Die Politik hat dagegen lediglich Phrasen parat und wählt lieber eine neue Brotbotschafterin, die schön PR-tauglich in die Kamera lächelt und Brezelteig rollt. Ein Zwischenruf von Frank Blenz.

Vor Tagen noch gingen hier Kuchen, Semmeln, Brot über den Tresen

An der Tür einer der wenigen Bäcker-Filialen eines Familienbetriebs in meiner Heimatstadt Plauen im Vogtland hängt seit einiger Zeit ein Schild: „Werte Kunden, ab Montag, 15. Juli, sind unsere Geschäfte aus wirtschaftlichen Gründen geschlossen. Wir bedanken uns von ganzem Herzen bei unseren treuen Kunden!“ Für Momente halten Menschen und Gemeinschaft betroffen inne. Schon wieder macht eine Bäckerei dicht, bedauern sie. Nach kurzem Aufschrei, ehrlicher Anteilnahme, herzlichem Bedauern wird indes wieder zur Tagesordnung übergegangen. Das Leben geht weiter. Was bleibt uns auch sonst übrig, denke ich. Unsere Ohnmacht wird offenbar.

Ein Gegensteuern, ein Aufbegehren gegen den zunehmenden Verfall durch das Engagement der Verantwortlichen, der mächtigen Entscheidungsträger an den wichtigen Stellschrauben unseres Gemeinwesens, in der Politik, das beobachte ich nicht. Ich lese nirgends etwas Überzeugendes über Kostenreduktion seitens der Behörden, der Ministerien, nichts über faire Wettbewerbsbedingungen, über dringend nötigen Bürokratieabbau, über die wirkliche Förderung des Handwerks. Über Pleiten schon, das ist dann halt die Marktwirtschaft. Ach so. So wächst die Zahl der Bäckereien, die in meiner heimischen Region dichtmachen, weiter und weiter – und ebenso anderswo, wenn ich in Medien nachforsche und erfolgreich nach Schlagzeilen suche wie „Bäckerei gibt auf“. In vielen anderen Bereichen der Wirtschaft sieht es ähnlich aus …

Der Freude einer Verkäuferin folgte nun der Schock. Vor ein paar Tagen noch sprach ich mit ihr, eine gute Bekannte, am Tresen einer der vier kleinen, jetzt geschlossenen Filialen. Ich fragte sie einfach mal, wie es denn so läuft. „Schön. Gutes Klima, liebe Kunden, ich war gerade im Urlaub“, antwortete sie mit einem Lächeln.

Tage später hat sie – erneut – ihre Arbeit verloren. Über die Jahre hat die gestandene Frau sich immer und immer wieder beworben und neu angefangen. Immer und immer wieder erlebte sie das Ende ihres Arbeitsverhältnisses, mal kurz vor Ablauf der Probezeit, mal aus betriebsbedingten Gründen, mal, weil sie etwas mehr Geld erbat … prekäre Verhältnisse eben. Die nun erneut ehemalige Bäckereiverkäuferin berichtete mir dann in einem Telefonat, dass alle ihre Kollegen wie sie auch geschockt seien. Sie hätten von der Schließung während einer kurzfristig anberaumten Betriebsversammlung erfahren: Unrentabel sei der Betrieb gewesen, lautete die Begründung. Derweil lief ohnehin ein Insolvenzverfahren. Doch auch neue Ideen, das tapfere Gegenstemmen der Bäckerfamilie, der Fleiß der Mitarbeiter halfen nichts mehr, sagte die Verkäuferin, und: „Das ist alles schlimm, ein Lebenswerk ist kaputt.“

Die Kosten erdrücken engagiertes Handwerk

Man stelle sich vor: Die Bäcker hierzulande liefern wundervolle Produkte. Die Kundschaft, mich eingeschlossen, liebt diese Semmeln, den Kuchen, die Torten, die weiteren vielfältigen Backwaren, die wirklich große Klasse sind. Das Bauchgefühl trügt nicht, die Erfahrung beim Genuss beweist die Qualitätsbehauptung. Und nein, bei allen Preiserhöhungen der letzten Jahre haben die Bäcker und Konditoreien ihre Waren immer noch erschwinglich gehalten. Ich sehe keine Krise im Verhältnis Bäcker vs. Kunden, ich erlebe, dass gerade in den kleinen Läden die Ware beizeiten ausverkauft ist, dass eine Renaissance, zum Bäcker zu gehen, zu erleben ist. Warum aber gehen die Bäckereien dennoch nach und nach in die Knie?

Ich beobachte sehr wohl, dass in Supermärkten ebenfalls nicht wenig Backwaren gekauft werden, die sind einerseits billiger (nicht besser). Weil die Lebensmittel mehr kosten, doch die Einkommen nicht höher werden, greifen Kunden gezwungenermaßen zu. Dass damit den normalen Bäckereien wirklich die Kundschaft verloren geht, beobachte ich hingegen nicht.

Die Probleme entstanden und bestehen woanders. Die Ursachen für die Schwierigkeiten, für Pleiten und für Geschäftsaufgaben sind unter anderen die vergangene katastrophale Pandemie, ihre bis heute schwelenden und offenen schwerwiegenden Folgen und die gemachte, die provozierte Energiekrise. Preise werden hochgetrieben, Kasse gemacht. Gier regiert.

Dreifacher Preis für notwendige Energie, um Brot zu backen

Ein Freund, ein stadtbekannter Bäcker und Konditormeister, hat mir zu Beginn der „Energiekrise“ ein Schreiben mit Preistabellen gezeigt. Das offenbarte die Tarife für Energie, die Monat für Monat in diesem und im kommenden Jahr fällig sind. Erst stand da 351 Euro für einen Monat. Dann wurden 1.328 Euro daraus. „Dieser Betrag steht allein für das Geschäftshaus“, erläuterte mir mein Freund. Die zweite Kostennote für den Backofen zeigte zunächst 521 Euro pro Monat an. Ab Oktober 2024 sollten monatlich 1.615 Euro überwiesen werden. Backen wird somit enorm teuer für den Bäcker, von den Nebenkosten für sein Kaffeehaus ganz zu schweigen. Wie soll man das auffangen? Preise hoch? Ich erinnere mich an seine Worte: „Ich bin sauer, wie es so weit kommen kann, dass gewisse Leute derart zulangen. Klar, das wird ja zugelassen, solch hohe Preise für Energie“, so der Handwerker, der nicht gelten lassen will, dass der Ukraine-Krieg immer und immer wieder als „Ursache“ genannt wird und die Preise in vielen Bereichen erhöht werden.

Am Ende des Monats ist jede Rechnung (noch) bezahlt – und dann bald folglich nichts für den Bäcker übrig. Da gibt man früher oder später auf. Von der Politik sind viele Menschen an der Basis, so eben auch Bäcker, restlos bedient. Nicht nur, dass die Preise steigen, auch die Rahmenbedingungen werden nicht besser. Die Bürokratie wuchert, Statistiken werden wichtiger und wichtiger, Verordnungen immer umfangreicher. Kleine Betriebe müssen Dokumentationspflichten erfüllen wie große Unternehmen, der Feuerlöscher in der Gewerbeeinheit reicht nicht mehr, es muss ein ausgebildeter Feuerverantwortlicher nachgewiesen werden. Die Liste der Kostenposten selbst in kleinen Firmen ist ellenlang, alles Pflichten, Beiträge, Abgaben. Das sind alles Ausgaben.

Schwafeln und aussitzen

In der großen Politik schwafeln wichtige, hochdotierte Politiker, Minister und Beamte gern von „man muss das große Ganze sehen“. Kalt und selbst nicht betroffen werden Statistiken wie die von Pleiten, Insolvenzen, vom Scheitern unternehmerischer Aktivitäten „eingeordnet“ und lapidar festgestellt, dass es da halt gerade eine Delle gibt, doch schwächt sich diese ab. Bald werde sich die Stimmung in der Wirtschaft wieder aufhellen, formuliert man geheuchelten Optimismus. Die Stimmung in den elitären Kreisen der politischen, wirtschaftlichen, gesellschaftlichen Klasse ist dabei ja sowieso in diesen Wochen und Monaten überaus gut, das Händereiben muss inzwischen wehtun, was Wunder, die Börsenkurse der produzierenden Kriegswirtschaft kennen nur eine Richtung: nach oben.

In der Zivilwirtschaft krempeln viele immer noch (wie lange noch?) tapfer die Ärmel hoch, wollen investieren. In Bäckereien wird über neue Backstubenkonzepte, effektivere Öfen, Öffnungszeiten, attraktive Bedingungen für Mitarbeiter nachgedacht, es werden Ideen umgesetzt. Sie machen. Die Politik unterstützt allein, indem von mehr Wertschätzung, die es braucht, geredet wird und der Mittelstand mitgenommen werden müsse. Mitgenommen, wohin?

Neue Botschafterin für Brot und der Widerspruch zwischen Reden und Tun

Deutschland hat für alles Mögliche einen Verantwortlichen, dachte ich, als ich vom Brotbotschafter las. Besser sind die Verhältnisse indes bisher nicht geworden. Diese Funktion, eine vom Zentralverband des Deutschen Bäckerhandwerks geschaffene Position, hat seit dem Frühjahr Dorothee Bär, Vizefraktionschefin der CDU/CSU im Bundestag, inne. Die neue Brotbotschafterin ist vom Backen richtig begeistert:

Es ist mir eine große Ehre und Freude, Botschafterin des Deutschen Brotes sein zu dürfen. Ich liebe Brot, und bei uns in der Familie wird sehr viel Brot gegessen. Zudem ist Brot wie kaum ein anderes Lebensmittel ein wichtiges Kulturgut in Deutschland“, betont Dorothee Bär. Für ihre Amtszeit nimmt sich die Bundestagsabgeordnete vor, möglichst viele Betriebe zu besuchen, um die einzigartige Vielfalt des Bäckerhandwerks noch besser kennen zu lernen und zu unterstützen. „Die Handwerksbäckerei ist gerade im ländlichen Raum ein wichtiger Treffpunkt für Jung und Alt. Die soziale Funktion der Handwerksbäcker kann man gar nicht hoch genug bewerten. Diese Struktur der Nahversorgung sollte unbedingt gestärkt und erhalten werden.“
(Quelle: Bäckerhandwerk)

Gern würden sicher die vielen Bäcker den hehren Worten der Brotliebhaberin folgen, allein reichen die große Freude, der Patriotismus der bayerischen Politikerin für das deutsche Brot und ihr großer Verbrauch eher nicht, um deren Rechnungen zu bezahlen. Und: Sie sollte sich in ihrer Amtszeit beeilen mit ihrem Vorhaben, viele Betriebe zu besuchen, so lange sie noch produzieren.

In story first reported by the U.K.’s Jim Ferguson, hacked data from the Dutch government shows that the E.U. Globalists went after the children and afterwards hundreds of vaccine injuries were reported all across the Netherlands and the EU.

Why didn’t we hear about it?

Turns out they hid the information and then covered-up the data from the public and then more people were injured.

Media’s Version of Harris is Unburdened by History

By Clarice Feldman
American Thinker

Once again, the Democrats are offering up a woman candidate for president. And once again, it is an unlikeable candidate who owes her career to a far more skillful male politician. In Hillary’s case, it is her husband, Bill, a charismatic personality adept at the game. In Harris’s case, it was her lover Willie Brown who boosted her up the ladder and showered her with expensive gifts.

To say that Kamala Harris had an affair with a man more than twice her age, leveraged his fundraising prowess and connections to launch her political career, and once in office did his corrupt bidding isn’t sexist. It’s well-grounded in fact.NOW Supplements, Vitam…Buy New $15.10(as of 10:00 UTC — Details)

When in 2019 Harris ran for president, she was highly promoted by the media but drew little support and dropped out quickly. The Los Angeles Times said she never should have even entered the race.

And she couldn’t connect with voters because of the core weakness in her candidacy: a lack of cohesive strategy and clear personal convictions. There was no evidence of the political soul needed to guide her toward public policy she felt strongly about.

“She didn’t exactly have a sense of who she was and what she believed and what she wanted to get done,” said a disappointed Harris insider who asked for anonymity. “And sooner or later that stuff gets exposed.”

“Her strategic plan wasn’t clear,” the insider continued. The campaign was confident she would win the votes of African Americans in South Carolina and from fellow Californians.

When that scenario didn’t seem to be working out, Harris belatedly began focusing on the first contest in Iowa. The senator was failing there, too, when she pulled the plug.

“She was all over the map on healthcare and criminal justice,” the insider said of the former San Francisco district attorney. “Was she a prosecutor or a public defender? It wouldn’t have made much difference which role she decided, but she started bouncing around to be all things to all people. Voters instinctively understand your heart’s not in it.”

Anyone who watched Harris as attorney general could have predicted this outcome. She refused to take positions on any state ballot proposition. Her excuse was that the attorney general writes the official ballot titles and summaries, and she didn’t want to appear biased. But that was nonsense. She was trying to avoid making political enemies, especially among law enforcement.

Dr. Mercola, Vitamins …Buy New $29.97 ($1.00 / Count)(as of 04:35 UTC — Details)Most unacceptable was her refusal to take a stand on two propositions to abolish the death penalty, a cause that she claimed to have long supported. The measures narrowly lost. She also remained neutral on an initiative to expedite the death penalty. It passed. And she didn’t take a position on a measure to reduce prison sentences, which passed. Yet Harris leaped into the presidential race promising to be a “fighter for the people.” Clearly that message was gleaned from focus groups. The rhetoric didn’t match the record.

I see no difference in her substantial shortcomings five years later.

The paper also mentioned she had many conflicts with and difficulty retaining staff, a personality flaw that carried over into the vice presidency.

she has earned a nasty reputation as an alleged ‘soul-destroying’ workplace ‘bully’. Only four of the initial 71 staffers hired by Harris during her first year in office still remain in a job. The rest either quit or were fired, according to analysis by non-partisan watchdog Open The Books.

In the middle of this week’s honeymoon period, after the surprise announcement that without a single vote from anyone, she’ll be the party’s nominee, this wonderful video surfaced. She’s a rich target and there’ll be more of these.

Political Assassination Attempts Have Revealed a New Growing Threat

By Jacob Monroe

The world is rapidly changing. In recent years, humanity has faced a number of new problems, among which the growing influence of liberal media and total censorship stand out. Someone is trying to “protect” society from “wrong” topics and thoughts that do not fit into the interests of the left camp. However, what was originally presented as a way to eradicate evil, promote tolerance, inclusivity and “world peace” is now increasingly used to intimidate, blackmail and “cancel” unwanted people, politicians and even entire parties. Particularly alarming is the undisguised radicalization of narratives, which poses a threat to lives and health of victims of such information campaigns.Profiles in Corruption…Schweizer, PeterBest Price: $4.36Buy New $6.99(as of 01:47 UTC — Details)

Thus, the first consequence of the extremization of propaganda can be called the murder of the former Prime Minister and member of the House of Representatives of Japan Shinzo Abe. A subsequent investigation revealed that the politician was the victim of a lone gunman who committed the crime for political reasons. If you look at the local newspaper headlines of that time, it becomes clear that the assassination took place during a period of redistribution of zones of influence in Japanese politics. Abe had resigned as prime minister, but still had significant influence on one of the key factions of the ruling party and promoted his own vision to important political issues. This served as the basis for an information campaign against Abe, that could have influenced the gunman and pushed him to commit the crime.

This year, the results of demonizing “unwanted” politicians have become even more frightening. In May, the world was shocked by the news of the assassination attempt on Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, who had long been attacked by prominent media outlets. Thus, the Guardian accused the politician of “fiercely nationalist, anti-western rhetoric”, Politico reported that Fico was sympathetic to Moscow and was destabilizing the European Union, and the social-liberal opposition party Progressive Slovakia has repeatedly accused the prime minister of intolerance towards migrants and the LGBT community. What many see as merely a consistent defense of national interests and traditional values, through a simple substitution of concepts and the concealment of certain facts has come to be condemned and presented as a grave crime for which punishment must be meted out. Thus, the attack by yet another lone gunman who, fortunately, was unable to fully realize his plans, was a predictable outcome.

Break It Up: Secession…Kreitner, RichardBest Price: $20.11Buy New $18.72(as of 04:28 UTC — Details)The recent attack on the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump can be called a new level in pushing radicals to lynch undesirable politicians. Just a few weeks before the incident, his main rival from the Democratic Party, President Joe Biden, called to literally “put Trump in a bullseye”. The statement was the culmination of a string of comments comparing Trump to Hitler, calling him an autocrat and a fascist. This marks the first time that a U.S. president (former or current) has been wounded in an assassination attempt since 1981, and the first time a presidential candidate has been shot since 1972.

The increasing number of attempts by lone radicals to eliminate unwanted politicians can hardly be written off as mere coincidences. Tightening the screws on freedom of speech, the desire to silence truly independent media, the “cancellation” of anyone who disagrees with the mainstream agenda – all these looks like the development of an ideal tool for total control over the information and political fields. At the same time, it is impossible to track down the real “organizers” of the assassinations. In the current circumstances, there is practically no doubt that the situation has become systematic. In the foreseeable future we will see new murder attempts, the main reason for which will be information promoted by the mainstream media.

Excuse me, Deep State? Is Hunter Thompson Your Game Master?

By Elizabeth Nickson
Welcome to Absurdistan

Seriously, is Hunter Thompson your Game Master? Because this has advanced from medieval passion play to deadly slapstick with civilization-ending overtones.

First you try to kill the man who is now, congratulations btw, the most loved freedom fighter in the world. Then you proffer this bullied, hapless, cross-dressing kid who couldn’t get into his school’s rifle club as the shooter, who is so obviously MKUltraed via your wretched operatives cruising the chat rooms of the desperately mentally ill looking for human ‘subjects’.

Socialism: An Economic…Ludwig von MisesBest Price: $6.00Buy New $1.99(as of 06:20 UTC — Details)Not only that, he bicycled to the event with a ladder and a rifle. Then as if designed to mock us, we get a Keystones Kops film of three actual short fat (at least one) lesbian DEI hires who can’t even holster a weapon under stress, assigned to protect a man who stands 6’3”. In yet another scene from this insulting murderous nonsense, a ghastly female authoritarian claims sloped roofing explaining why the SS snipers were inside the building that the shooter was on top of. Do you create these women in a lab? Because they are all the same, scared rabbits cosplaying “strength” and “girl power” and making one senseless obvious mistake after another.

Then that poor but malignant cabbage-headed fellow gets unceremoniously shitcanned and the silliest most useless DEI hire in the known world becomes the Democrat puppet-of-choice, making this the third election you have tried to steal via abrogating even the appearance of a democratic process.

You are a mess and you need therapy.

And, you are going to try to steal the election again via “the first black woman president ever”. It’s so tiresome, I’m bored and I don’t believe anything at all that comes with an official imprint. No one sentient does. Every word is a lie, including the ‘ands’ and ‘buts’. Btw, no propaganda on earth will make this an African-American family.

Look, I know the thing you are most afraid of is a popular revolt, because you are aware, probably more than I, what people think of you. This no-real-growth-since-the-1970s idea has created millions of highly intelligent individuals who don’t have enough to do, so what they’ve done is figure out what you’ve been up to. And they cogitate and marinate in the tales of your evil. All those families that weren’t formed because feminism, abortion, and faux-environmental collapse? All those businesses not started because of a regulatory super-structure going for de-development because there is too much actual plant food in the air? All that growth stalled because of artificially high energy prices? All that hyper-sexualization of the culture? All the turning of entire generations to “art” and “identity” as a substitute for a full, lusty, creative, explosion-of-energy life that stands astride the stars and brings freedom and fun to the universe?

Really, you’re fired. You are awful, stupid and fired.

Those people who would have been building healthy happy lives in towns big and small across the world, had it not been for your foul stupid destructive interference, spent their time figuring out what you have done to us. And now, with the internet (thank you very much) we know exactly what you’ve been up to.

So instead of putting you in talk therapy, which takes too long, let me explain what these people, who you somehow think are stupid, have come up with. This is so close to becoming received wisdom, accepted history, which will, as I have observed in the past, very rapidly morph into reality. And when I say millions? I mean a billion, easy.

And I am not the seemingly bonkers but somehow prescient pathfinders David Icke or Alex Jones. I don’t read Q. I wouldn’t know where to find Q. I am a real reporter, properly trained and published and I look into every corner of the culture. I do not limit myself to what some success-head Ivy league robot (I’ve dated them so I am intimately aware of their very ordinary minds) publishes, I listen to real people. Who think. Outside the teeny-tiny box that your behaviourists beavering away in cube farms in Langley, created.

Nor am I some deplorable populist trog as you think of us (how dare you? how dare you malign and set your goons on (metaphorically) hundreds of millions of good people?). I went to the “best schools”, I was published by the “best editors”. I am a collateral descendent of George Washington so many times I’ve lost count. I’m a Spencer descendant as many times, which means I’m a cousin of Princess Diana and Prince of Wales. I’m a descendant of Aaron Burr, and most of the northern founders including Roger Sherman, who was the only man who signed all four documents of the American founding. HE WAS A COBBLER. There are tens of millions of us descended from those lines of ancestry, that deep, vital imprint, fiery, world changing, the first nation in the world (relatively) free of predators until you slithered in to feed. That line, that ancestral memory, that profound unkillable imprint, that shining light-filled example? We all come trailing clouds of glory. All. Of. Us. We are the future. Not you. All the ideas come from us. You are too dissolute to solve anything.

If you don’t start to listen and heed people outside your depraved circle all your houses will be torn down and it won’t be us who do it. It will be a supernatural power. Michael’s armies are gathering.

All this chaos, absurdity and ginned up catastrophe is meant to hide how truly evil you have been.

There are literal stacks of evidence of each of the below accusations. To repeat, for each accusation I could compile ten pages of citations and another ten pages of published books. Libraries could be filled with this data, and everyone not in a leftist cult or success-and-greed-head cult is aware of it. All day, every day, people aggregate the evidence against you. And they talk to each other. Since you destroyed civic peace with your endless psy-ops, this is what has replaced normal human collegiality. Plotting your end. Planning the future.

The entire polis, the vast unwashed that you think are as dumb as Reese Witherspoon, but not as cute, are sharply aware of the following:

1. You start all the wars for profit.

2. You killed JFK and RFK

3. You probably killed JFK Jr., Hillary

4. You killed MLK

5. You created serial killers and you created school shooters via MKUltra to destabilize civic peace and destroy mutual trust..

6. You were behind Epstein and that deeply creepy heartland skeezeball Leslie Wexner. (Briefly Wexner was a famous boy lover/sexual predator in Chicago and you morons found him, blackmailed him, enriched him and exploited him ruthlessly.) Whitney Webb’s research on this is unassailable and there are many first hand testimonies as to Wexner’s nasty proclivities.

7. You funded your dark ops with drug money and human trafficking, running it, in part, out of Wexner’s empire. You are responsible for the 800,000 missing children from the border whom you have sold. You use those children to blackmail and bribe anyone with a scintilla of power.

8. You seeded black communities with rap and crack in order to farm their pain for profit.

9. You’ve stolen, as Catherine Austin Fitts asserts, as of the 1990’s, $23 trillion. And by now it’s probably more like $100 trillion

10. You use it to fund deep space programs where you prosecute your dire fascist agenda. There are hundreds of first-hand testimonies of this from retired military personnel including high-ranking Generals, Admirals and Colonels. Half the military wants this out, and they allow this disclosure and protect these men (they are mostly men) who tell their stories.

11. You are way ahead of us in energy production. You have free energy and you have anti-gravitics and you have health innovations that could extend human life into the 200s and cure every cancer within weeks. But no, we must draw down the population because fake science. Which you know is faked.

12. You have killed every independent scientist who came close to free energy

13. You collaborated with the Nazis post WW2 and sequestered that knowledge for yourselves and the military-industrial state. All the aerospace companies are in on it. Boatloads of evidence of this.

14. You have relationships with three alien species that I know of. You have evidence of several dozen alien species. Entire cruise ships of evidence.

15. You have a base in Antarctica filled with the descendants of the worst Nazis. And probably Reptilians.

16. You have dozens, if not hundreds, of underground bases all over the world, filled with experiments and micro-cultures so abhorrent, even hell would be impressed.

17. The Climate Change absurdity is meant to extract even more money from us, and as a bonus depress us so entirely we give up, stop breeding and die off.

18. You’ve hidden the true history of the earth from us, barring access to sites, erasing knowledge, marginalizing true scholars, and proffering a children’s story. You have hidden or destroyed religious texts that could free us and ensnared us in rigid, punitive primitive religious constructs that encourage hate.

19. The media are foolish patsies you feed garbage so that their minds pack up and leave their bodies, leaving them spouting cult nostrums.Last Rights: The Death…Bovard, JamesBuy New $19.99(as of 02:17 UTC — Details)

20. We want you gone and will fight you until you pack up and bugger off.

The only people who don’t are your last supporters: the stupidest people on earth, suburban soccer moms, those lost in the leftist cult, and the people you, one way or another, PAY, which means the media, academia, and your politicians.

And then, this. 7/16 was a Deep State hit so obvious that even soccer moms are suspicious, please see below for the flood of reporting from independent media. Lord in heaven, the longer you keep up this torture parade of absurdity and cruelty and destructive asshollery, the more we are going to hose out your stables with you in the flood. And you know where you’re going after this, you’ll be praying for cooling floods.

What you have done is unforgivable. The only way you and your spawn won’t be hunted for the rest of eternity is to open up the gates, and give us everything: the science you have sequestered, the energy innovations that you hide, the deep knowledge of the earth and heavens you have locked up. And go away.

We are the boss of you. And one way or another, we will bring you to heel.
