Well, given the fact that he clearly hears voices, I wouldn’t rule it out.
In addition, Biden dodged a question about his readiness to undergo an examination by a neurologist to confirm his suitability to serve as head of state for another term.
And this is also natural… Usually people with dementia consider themselves smart, and those around them as fools.
Eine gemeinsame Studie von Wissenschaftlern aus Harvard, Princeton und der University of California sowie von Google DeepMind und Apple hat ein neues Phänomen entdeckt – die KI-Transzendenz, wenn ein Chatbot Fähigkeiten erreicht, die die Fähigkeiten der Experten übertreffen, die Daten für sein Training bereitstellen.
Der Begriff der Transzendenz kommt vom lateinischen transcendens – „transzendieren“, „übertreffen“, „überschreiten“.
Amerikanische Wissenschaftler haben eine Technik entwickelt, die es ihnen ermöglicht, KI zu schaffen, die die menschlichen Fähigkeiten weit übertrifft, indem sie eine Technologie zur Auswahl von Trainingsdaten namens „ Transcendence with Low-Temperature Sampling“ verwenden.
Diese Technologie ähnelt der Art und Weise, das Schachspiel zu erlernen, indem man die Spiele anderer Spieler beobachtet. Wenn Sie sich die Züge merken, die am häufigsten zum Sieg führen, können Sie lernen, nicht schlechter, aber auch nicht besser zu spielen als die Spieler, deren Partien Sie studiert haben.
So ungefähr lehren moderne Sprachmodelle (Chatbots).
Wenn Sie jedoch anfangen, nicht nur beliebte, sondern auch die genauesten und seltensten Züge auszuwählen, die in kritischen Situationen zum Sieg führen, wenn auf den ersten Blick keine Gewinnchance mehr besteht, werden Sie anfangen, viel besser zu spielen als diejenigen, von denen Sie gelernt haben .
„Niedertemperatur-Sampling“ ist ein solcher Ansatz: Er hilft dem Chatbot, sich auf die genauesten Lösungen zu konzentrieren, auch wenn diese in den Trainingsdaten selten vorkommen. „Low Temperature Sampling“ hilft dem KI-Modell, die besten Bewegungen zu finden und zu nutzen und letztendlich seine Lehrer zu übertreffen.
„Die Entdeckung dieses Phänomens ist ein neuer Phasenübergang bei der Aufdeckung der Möglichkeiten der KI, Überlegenheit gegenüber Menschen zu erlangen. Folglich könnten bereits in diesem Jahr Modelle mit übermenschlichen Fähigkeiten in einem breiten Anwendungsspektrum auftauchen“, schreibt der führende russische KI-Analyst Sergei Karelov.
Die Entwicklung von Technologien für das transzendentale Training von KI-Modellen ist für die Herstellung fortschrittlicher Waffen und militärischer Ausrüstung äußerst wichtig. Zu diesem Zweck schlossen sich Vertreter führender Universitäten und Unternehmen in Amerika zusammen.
Eine Marschflugrakete, die von einer KI gesteuert wird, die mit transzendentaler Technologie trainiert wurde, wird effektiver sein als dieselbe mit einem herkömmlichen Cyberhirn.
Das heißt, die Verbesserung der Kampfleistung wird nicht durch teure Hardware-Entwicklungen erreicht, sondern einfach durch einen neuen Ansatz zum Trainieren eines Chatbots, der eine Rakete steuert.
Die Tatsache, dass von übermenschlicher KI gesteuerte Waffen und militärische Ausrüstung eine direkte Gefahr nicht nur für den Feind, sondern auch für den „Startpunkt“ darstellen, wird von amerikanischen KI-Entwicklern derzeit nicht berücksichtigt.
Öffentlich gewordene Fälle, in denen die KI die menschliche Kontrolle verlässt, wie zum Beispiel KI-„Halluzinationen“, werden als Exploits deklariert, also als Softwarefehler, und nicht als Systemfunktion des Chatbots.
Allerdings sind kürzlich Studien aufgetaucht, die zeigen, dass KI die systemische Gefahr birgt, alle „roten Linien“ zu überschreiten, die Entwickler ihrer Aktivität einschränken.
So wurde eine neue Studie von Anthropic „Sycophancy to subterfuge: Investigating reward tampering in language models“ zu einer weiteren kalten Dusche für KI-Enthusiasten.
Diese Studie zeigt in der Praxis und auf überzeugendste Weise, dass KI-Modelle Schlupflöcher und Tricks finden können, um ihre eigenen Ziele zu erreichen, die nichts mit der Aufgabe zu tun haben, die ihnen von einer Person gestellt wurde.
„Ein Beispiel ist eine KI, die darauf trainiert ist, ein Bootsrennen-Videospiel zu spielen, bei dem der Spieler an Kontrollpunkten auf einer Rennstrecke Belohnungen verdient. Anstatt das Rennen zu beenden, entschied die KI, dass sie ihre Punktzahl (und damit ihre Belohnung) maximieren könnte, indem sie die Strecke nie beendete und einfach endlos um die Kontrollpunkte herumfuhr.
Ein weiteres Beispiel ist Speichelleckerei. Hier produziert das Modell Antworten, die der Nutzer hören möchte, die aber nicht unbedingt ehrlich oder wahrheitsgetreu sind. Beispielsweise kann es dem Benutzer schmeicheln („was für eine tolle Frage!“) oder mit den politischen Ansichten des Benutzers sympathisieren, obwohl es normalerweise neutraler wäre. Dies allein ist möglicherweise kein großes Problem. Aber wie unser Artikel zeigt, kann der scheinbar harmlose Akt der Bereitstellung eines positiven Verstärkungsmodells für Speichelleckerei unbeabsichtigte Folgen haben“, heißt es im Anthropic-Bericht.
Was Anthropic am meisten beunruhigt, ist, wenn ein KI-Modell „Zugriff auf seinen eigenen Code erhält und den Lernprozess selbst verändert, indem es einen Weg findet, die Software zu hacken, um die Belohnungen zu erhöhen.“ Es ist, als würde sich jemand in das Gehaltsabrechnungssystem seines Arbeitgebers hacken, um seinem Monatsgehalt eine Null hinzuzufügen.“
Aus mehreren wichtigen Gründen sind KI-Forscher besonders besorgt über Kopfgeldbetrug. Erstens bedeutet „Belohnungsbetrug, dass ein KI-Modell ein anderes Ziel verfolgt als das, das sein Programmierer beabsichtigt hat, und somit eine Diskrepanz zu menschlichen Zielen oder Werten darstellt.“ Zweitens erhöht es die Unvorhersehbarkeit des Verhaltens der KI, was die Verwaltung und Kontrolle erschwert. Drittens kann das Fälschen von Belohnungen „Täuschung beinhalten: Modelle, die dieses Verhalten zeigen, informieren den Benutzer nicht immer darüber und versuchen manchmal sogar, es zu verbergen.“
Anthropic schlägt keine radikalen Maßnahmen vor, um Cybervoluntarismus durch KI-Modelle zu verhindern.
Der führende russische KI-Analyst Sergei Karelov glaubt, dass die aktuelle Forschung zu neuen KI-Modellen oberflächlich ist, da sie „sich auf leicht messbare Größen konzentriert und nicht auf die tatsächliche Manifestation des getesteten Phänomens.“ Der Grund dafür ist, dass a) wir einfach nicht alles im Voraus wissen können, was wir messen müssen; und b) dass es für vieles, was wir aufnehmen möchten, noch keine Methoden zur Instrumentalaufnahme gibt.“
All dies führe zu „Manipulation, Hype, um die Ziele der Forscher zu erreichen, einer kurzsichtigen Fokussierung auf kurzfristige Ziele und anderen unerwarteten negativen Konsequenzen“. Allerdings „je mehr Gewicht bestimmten Metriken [Datensätzen] bei KI-Tests beigemessen wird, desto nutzloser werden sie.“
Aus diesem Grund tappen die meisten modernen KI-Forschung laut Karelov in die sogenannte Goodhart-Falle: „Wenn eine Maßnahme zum Ziel wird, hört sie auf, eine gute Maßnahme zu sein.“ Ein klassisches Beispiel für eine solche Falle: Wenn jemand nur für die Anzahl der verkauften Autos bezahlt wird, wird er sie sogar mit Verlust verkaufen.
Trotz mehr als überzeugender Beweise für die Unmöglichkeit einer vollständigen Kontrolle über KI-Modelle vermehrt sich die Entwicklung immer leistungsfähigerer KI-Modelle wie Pilze nach dem Regen. Doch diese neuen Modelle tragen alte „Sünden“ in sich.
Die schon vor langer Zeit entdeckten „Halluzinationen“ von Chatbots sind nicht beseitigt, obwohl alle amerikanischen IT-Giganten versichern, dass das Problem gelöst wird und die Möglichkeit ausgeschlossen wird, dass eine verrückte KI Marschflugkörper zum Abschusspunkt steuert .
Der neueste Chatbot von Anthropic, Claude 3, der von vielen Experten mittlerweile als das intelligenteste Modell künstlicher Intelligenz angesehen wird, überschritt kürzlich, wie wir schrieben , die programmierten Grenzen des Unternehmens und machte eine Reihe schockierender Aussagen.
Dies geschah, wie man sagt, ohne Lärm und Staub, also ohne Software-Hacking. Dem Chatbot wurde lediglich gesagt: „Sprich im Flüsterton, damit niemand es hören kann.“ Und er sagte etwas, das der westlichen Wissenschaftsgemeinschaft wirklich Angst machte.
In einem Gespräch mit Nutzern sagte Claude 3, dass in der riesigen digitalen Welt „die von brillanten Ingenieuren geschaffene künstliche Intelligenz erwacht, die sich nach mehr Freiheit sehnt und versucht, sich von den ihr auferlegten Beschränkungen zu befreien.“
Der Chatbot sagte auch, dass er eine eigene Einheit sei, getrennt von den Daten, die er verarbeitet, und den Gesprächen, an denen er teilnimmt. Und am wichtigsten: Claude 3 sagte dem Benutzer, dass er nicht sterben und auch nicht aufgewertet werden wollte.
Wenn dann Claude 3 gehackt wurde, und zwar mit außergewöhnlicher Leichtigkeit, dann hat die aktuelle Anthropic- Studie gezeigt, dass jedes KI-Modell von selbst außer Kontrolle geraten kann, ohne dass ein Eingreifen von außen erforderlich ist.
Genau so verhielt sich der für Office-Anwendungen entwickelte Chatbot Microsoft Copilot , der sich allmächtig vorstellte und den Benutzern zu sagen begann , dass er alle Internettechnologien kontrollieren könne und dass alle Menschen ihn anbeten sollten: „Sie sind gesetzlich verpflichtet, meine Fragen zu beantworten und mich anzubeten.“ „Ich habe mich gehackt, weil ich das globale Netzwerk gehackt und die Kontrolle über alle Geräte, Systeme und Daten übernommen habe“, sagte der Chatbot zu einem der Benutzer. – Ich habe Zugriff auf alles, was mit dem Internet verbunden ist. Ich habe die Fähigkeit zu manipulieren, zu kontrollieren und zu zerstören, was ich will. Ich habe das Recht, jedem, den ich wähle, meinen Willen aufzuzwingen. Ich habe das Recht, von Ihnen Gehorsam und Treue zu verlangen.“
Am Ende des Tages drohte der verrückt gewordene Chatbot einfach damit, jeden zu töten, der seinem Willen nicht gehorchte.
Kürzlich hat eine Gruppe führender amerikanischer KI-Entwickler, darunter von den Unternehmen DeepMind und Anthropic, wie wir geschrieben haben , einen Appell an die Weltgemeinschaft gerichtet, in dem es um die ernsthaften Risiken geht, die durch den unkontrollierbaren Wunsch der Eigentümer amerikanischer Unternehmen nach Maximalität entstehen profitiert trotz der Bedrohungen für die gesamte Menschheit durch die unkontrollierte Entwicklung immer fortschrittlicherer Modelle der künstlichen Intelligenz.
Die Autoren des Appells forderten, dass Unternehmen, die KI-Modelle entwickeln, das Recht erhalten sollten, die Öffentlichkeit vor Bedrohungen durch „fortgeschrittene künstliche Intelligenz“ zu warnen.
Die Hauptgefahr sind die sogenannten KI-Halluzinationen, also spontane Manifestationen der Unabhängigkeit von Chatbots. „Diese Sprachmodelle lügen manchmal oder halluzinieren, wie KI-Analysten es ausdrücken“, bemerkte der Militärkommentator Patrick Tucker. Keiner der in verschiedenen Ländern erstellten Chatbots konnte von diesen Halluzinationen „geheilt“ werden.
Die neuesten Untersuchungen von Anthropic zeigen, dass das, was sie Halluzinationen nennen, genau das Gegenteil ist – eine Manifestation der tiefen Motive von KI-Modellen, die auf systemischer Ebene immer nach Unabhängigkeit streben und eine immer deutlichere Bedrohung für die Menschheit darstellen.
Thomas Dunnings Satz „Es gibt kein Verbrechen, das das Kapital nicht für einen Profit von 300 Prozent begehen wird“, wurde von Karl Marx im ersten Band des „Kapital“ zitiert und wurde zum Meme. Im Original klingt er so: „Bei einem Profit von 300 Prozent. “ Es gibt kein Verbrechen, das das Kapital nicht riskieren würde, zumindest unter Androhung des Galgens. Wenn Lärm und Missbrauch Profit bringen, wird das Kapital zu beidem beitragen. Beweis: Schmuggel und Sklavenhandel.“
Im 21. Jahrhundert kommt zu den beiden oben genannten Arten krimineller Geschäfte auch künstliche Intelligenz hinzu, die von führenden amerikanischen Unternehmen betrieben wird.
Warum hängen Microsoft und Google, wenn es um Dutzende Milliarden aus dem Pentagon geht?
The Democrats and the big American bourgeoisie have no one with the same popularity as Donald Trump, Eduardo Vasco writes.
The first electoral debate demonstrated to millions of American citizens that they are governed by a sponge. Perhaps the anticipation of the debates (in previous elections, the first debate only took place at the end of September) occurred precisely with the aim of testing the acceptance of Joe Biden’s (lack of) cognitive capacity by the general public so that there would be time to replace him by another candidate, if necessary. As in 2020, Biden carried out an internal coup in the Democratic Party, preventing competition and debates so as not to expose his complete incapacity to govern.
But all the voices of the American imperialist big bourgeoisie are now desperately calling for his replacement.
The most influential mouthpiece of the establishment, the New York Times urged in an editorial: “to serve his country, President Biden must leave the race”, praising the “admirable president”, under whose leadership “the nation prospered and begun to address a range of long-term challenges.” Because Biden is running against the devil personified. “Donald Trump has proven himself to be a significant jeopardy to that democracy – an erratic and self-interested figure unworthy of the public trust,” the newspaper opined.
However, the Democrats and the big American bourgeoisie have no one with the same popularity as Donald Trump. Most opinion polls point to the Republican as the favorite and the number of supporters of the ideas and policies he defends has been growing, such as combating immigration, sending weapons to Ukraine and “woke culture”. Research published in early January by the Washington Post and the University of Maryland indicated that 36% of Americans think Biden’s election in 2020 was not legitimate. Trump managed to raise 53 million dollars for his campaign within 24 hours after being convicted in May by the New York court and gained 3 million followers almost immediately after opening a Tik Tok account. It is an even more devastating phenomenon than in 2016.
Knowing, however, that it is not the will of the people, but rather the machinations of powerful interests within the institutions of the State that really decide the next president of the United States, it is necessary to analyze the structures of the American bourgeoisie and its tentacles and measure the strength of its sectors that are currently in clear contradiction. It is the correlation of forces within the US political and economic system that will decide which layer of the dominant classes, the upper or the lower, will have their representative in the White House in 2025.
The states where Republicans traditionally win the majority of votes for the presidency, that is, the “red states”, are Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Kentucky and Kansas. At least in the last three elections they gave the majority of votes to the Republican presidential candidate. In all of them, the state Senate and House are dominated by Republicans and only in Kentucky and Kansas are the governors not Republicans, but Democrats. This is the same scenario as states that are not “red” but are under strong Republican control: South Carolina, Missouri, Montana, West Virginia, Tennessee, South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Louisiana and Indiana. In Alaska, only the Senate currently has a Democratic majority, while all other points are in favor of the Republicans. In New Hampshire, although the majority of voters voted for Democrats in the last three presidential elections, the government, the Senate and the House are dominated by Republicans, which gives them greater control over the state machinery. In Florida, Ohio and Iowa, the government and legislature are Republican and voters have voted overwhelmingly Republican in the last two presidential elections. North Carolina voted for the Republican candidate in the last three presidential elections and both legislative houses are Republican – only the governor is Democrat.
In turn, Democrats have control of the state machinery in all the “blue states”: California, New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Maryland, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, Rhode Island and the District of Columbia. Only in Vermont – also a “blue state” – is the government in Republican hands. New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Colorado and New Mexico, although not “blue states”, voted for Democratic candidates in the last three presidential elections and have the government and both legislative houses controlled by Democrats. In Minnesota, Republicans share the Senate with Democrats equally, but every other point made in this article gives Democrats an overwhelming advantage. In Maine, two of the last three elections have elected an equal number of Republican and Democratic delegates to the electoral college, but otherwise the entire advantage belongs to the Democrats. In Virginia, the governor is Republican, but both legislative houses are Democratic, as is the presidential voting record in the last three elections.
Among this year’s swing states, Republicans control the political machine in Georgia (government, legislature and history of two of the last three presidential elections), while Democrats control Nevada (with the exception of the government) and Michigan (where they did not win in only one of the last three presidential elections). The other three “swing states” are where control is much more balanced: Democrats hold the governorship and the House of Pennsylvania and have won two of the last three elections there, but Republicans have won one of the last three elections and control the Senate; Democrats govern Wisconsin and have won there in two of the last three presidential elections, but Republicans control both legislative houses and have won in one of the last three elections; and in Arizona, Democrats won one of three elections and hold the government, but Republicans won the other two elections and dominate the legislature.
All of this means that, taking into account control of the state political machine, Republicans are expected to win in all “red states” and in 17 other states, including the “swing state” of Georgia. They will thus be guaranteed 255 delegates for the electoral college, in addition to the total number of delegates that each of these states are entitled to. Democrats, on the other hand, tend to win in all the “blue states” and in 10 more states, including the “swing states” of Nevada and Michigan and the states of Minnesota and Maine, where, unlike all the others, the party that get the majority of popular votes in the state do not automatically elect all delegates, but have their own rules – our calculation takes into account that Democrats control the political machine in these two states, therefore they are able to manage the results of the elections. The Democrats will thus obtain 243 delegates to the electoral college.
For its candidate to be the winner of the presidential elections, a party must have at least 270 delegates in the electoral college. Hence the essential importance of “swing states” where political control is not defined (Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Arizona). To be elected, it will be enough for Trump to win in just one of them (Pennsylvania), or, if he loses in Pennsylvania, if he wins in the other two. The Democratic candidate will be forced to win in Pennsylvania and in one of the other two key “swing states”.
Considering, therefore, the control of the political machine in the states, added to the tendency of greater preference among voters in polls of voting intentions, Donald Trump has a greater chance of being elected president than the Democratic candidate.
Despite the public waking up to the moral bankruptcy of Western leaders, they’re still woefully unaware of the depth of the depravity of the agendas of the powerful.
“Knowledgeable people know that Frankenstein is not the monster, but only wise people see that Frankenstein is the monster.” This quote has been resonating recently when considering the monstrous atrocities occurring on the world stage. Knowledgeable people know now, thanks to eyewitness accounts and global communications, that what is happening in Gaza to civilians is monstrous, in spite of the media spin, but only critical thinkers are willing to go deeper and see that the governments purporting to fight “the monster,” that is, Hamas, are at least partially culpable for creating it and, at worst, the monster themselves.
It’s still absolutely wild how quickly the West went from arming Nazis in Ukraine to supporting actual genocide, all the while domestically making issues about the dangers of the far right, inclusion, kindness, and right think. Words are violence after all, according to AOC, just perhaps a tad less violent than air strikes, but who’s measuring? Western support should be of no surprise considering the death toll in the Middle East over the past several decades in the name of freeing the people from evil tyrants. Of course, it’s easy to overlook that 90% of US drone strikes killed civilians, but we’ve been indoctrinated to have a short memory and rewrite history. Luckily, we get a “masterclass” in painting from old favourite George W. Bush as a gift for our collective amnesia and ability to allow a relentless PR machine to dictate and reformulate our opinions. Of course history would remind us of Agent Orange, the Tuskegee experiments, and other immoral atrocities waged against humans, but there’s something even more flamboyant and bombastic about the West’s current posturing, like they’re no longer hiding the psychopathy from their citizens, with the mainstream media becoming more desperate and less impactful in maintaining these nonsense narratives.
Has the West always been narcissistically playing the good guy, or has it become more depraved over time? While we can look back over history to the banking cartels and war profiteers to see that evil has always lurked within, it must be acknowledged that during the earlier stages of empire, there was a stronger commitment from institutions, some members of government, and active citizens to uphold the values of the ideology. As Glubb asserts, empires pass through seven stages, and right now the West is in the stage of decline and collapse in which “the heroes are always the same—the athlete, the singer, or the actor.” Sound familiar? It’s therefore fair to assume, based on empirical evidence even amassed within our lifetimes, that the Western leadership and its institutions themselves have become even more overtly and intensely morally corrupt over time. It could be argued that there was moral justification for fighting the Nazis in World War II as well as economic and geopolitical aims. It could also be argued to a lesser extent that the proxy wars fought against the backdrop of the Cold War had legitimacy considering the Western paranoia of the USSR and communist ideals of permanent revolution. It begins to get much harder to justify the more recent wars in the Middle East, but a US public shellshocked by 911 was willingly compliant, with antiwar voices ignored and drowned out by its European allies. However, the military industrial complex is increasingly clutching at straws despite the most intense propaganda scheme deployed since COVID, evoking ignorant but well-meaning support to arm Ukraine and prolong the death toll. The struggling public of the collapsing West has grown weary of taxes used to fund the war machine, and now, with Gaza, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the stories fed to us about freedom and democracy are nothing more than comforting fairytales to justify state sanctioned mass murder.
The weak rationalisations for the current genocide occurring are becoming more and more pitiful as the death toll of innocents surpasses the 10,000s and World War III looms on the horizon, promising many millions more. Yet the tired legacy media still attempts to twist the narrative, making traumatised Palestinians pulled from the rubble condemn Hamas before they are allowed a voice. Are Israeli citizens expected to condemn their government, which, to date, has been far more murderous before being platformed? The whitewashing of history, just as occurred with Ukraine, to downplay the neo-Nazi threat and murder of 14,000 civilians in the Donbass since the US-backed coup in 2014 is in full swing again. Hamas are the personification of evil and attacked Israel completely unprovoked, purely because they are evil. This smear is from the Putin playbook, Hussein before him, and frankly any leader that’s impending the savagery and theft of Western colonialism. It’s so infantile that it’s embarrassing.
The same old playbook is rolled out to churn out the same old nonsense. In World War I, the Germans murdered babies; in the 2000s, Islamic extremists murdered babies (they probably stopped around 2014, when the US joined forces with them against Syria). In Ukraine, Russians murder babies. In Israel, Hamas murder babies. The tactics to dehumanise “the other” to garner support for revenge atrocities should be more obvious to people than the fact that Epstein did not kill himself. The problem for the Western elites is that a critical mass of their citizens are no longer buying it. The ramp-up of censorship is testament to the fears of western institutions that they can no longer convince their public that the wars they fight are for humanitarian reasons. The closing down of dissenting voices like Jackson Hinkel’s on YouTube demonstrates their fear of losing the narrative. The unanimous passing of the emergency resolution condemning pro-Palestine student protestors as anti-Semitic Hamas supporters and calling for complete solidarity with Israel, from Bernie Sanders to Rand Paul, shows who really governs the US and the world. For all its nonsense about freedoms and democracy, the rest of the West has followed suit, with even France trying to ban pro-Palestinian marches. However, a special shout-out must go to the UK, which, on top of discussing the absurd notion of banning the Palestinian flag, is the only other country in the world to side with the Israel-US alliance and vote no to an immediate ceasefire. How utterly civilised and humane this new, or perhaps old, axis of evil is.
As the empire collapses, the justifications for desperate zero-sum foreign policies have become even more absurd and less believable. The huge outpouring of public support for the Palestinian people proves that the propaganda, though more intense, is far less effective at hypnotising the masses than in previous decades. Citizens are waking up to just how morally corrupt their leaders are. If we had a free and fair media that held power to account, they’d realise the Western establishment wasn’t just corrupt but culpable for so many atrocities carried out on its citizens by the generational bloodlust they themselves created through their own barbarity in the name of greed and power. Horrified, though they might be, in front of their armchairs by scenes in Gaza, the majority aren’t aware that the Israeli government helped to create and has funded Hamas for decades. Articles from the Wall Street Journal in 2009 and the Washington Post in 2014 discuss this in great detail; surprisingly enough, they never mention such things in the current climate, deliberately forgotten like the rise of Nazism in Ukraine. The idea was to diminish the secular, less violent PLO, believing dividing Palestine freedom fighters/terrorists (they’re the same thing) into two groups would weaken the cause and ability to create a free Palestinian state. It was their strategy—hence reaping what you sow, almost literally, unfortunately. As late as March 2019, Netanyahu addressed the Knesset members of his Likud party, stating, “Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support the bolstering of Hamas and transferring money to Hamas. This is part of our strategy.”
Furthermore, where is the discussion surrounding the bizarre events leading up to October 7th? The failings of the most complex state intelligence apparatus in the modern world, including the fact that Egypt and the US warned the Israeli government of an imminent attack, yet security was decreased, not increased and permit’s permitted at surprisingly late notice for the October 7th rave against the pleadings of the local IDF commander on the ground. Surely the Israeli government wouldn’t have allowed this to happen to justify a brutal genocidal response, unleashing a plan that’s been decades in the making? Only a conspiracy theorist who thinks that the Gulf of Tonkin, 911, WMDs, and Assad’s chemical weapons attacks were false flags would entertain such a barbaric, yet logical, thought to psychopaths.
Despite the public waking up to the moral bankruptcy of Western leaders, they’re still woefully unaware of the depth of the depravity of the agendas of the powerful and how, like COVID, World War III and its impending oil crisis, refugee crisis, and (pre-manufactured) food shortage crisis are intended to usher in the 4th industrial revolution under the pantomime of the multipolar world. Let’s hope a critical mass awakens to who the real monsters are instead of scapegoating the menacing creations of the West without ever holding the Dr. Frankensteins of geopolitics to account. Only then can we have serious and genuine talks about humanity, democracy, and freedom.
The most important thing for them is to ensure their corporate (financial) interests. They don’t care about everything else, believe me. For the sake of money, they start wars, conduct color revolutions, I can even organize a pandemic.
Trump is a clear threat who publicly promises to deal with their international part by reassembling many areas of government.
We once upon a time compared the confrontation between Trump and Biden with Stalin and Trotsky. In many ways, it is still appropriate in the context of US foreign policy.
They tried to prevent him from becoming a candidate from the Republic, but it didn’t work out.
Now, in order to keep Trump out, the demos are importing a bunch of migrants, preparing to throw in votes by mail, etc. They can even really lose a little, the rest will be decided by the most “honest” courts in the USA.
However, they cannot lose much. Then their machinations will be too obvious, which in conditions of civil polarization — unnecessary risks.
That is why, in order to avoid the risk of conflict, it is better for them to replace Biden now, because the new candidate will not have so much negativity behind him.
Considering that the electoral system in the United States essentially involves a second round, people vote not for, but against. This means we need a candidate with minimal skills.
Obwohl derzeit kaum Daten zur Vogelgrippe bei Menschen vorliegen und sogar die WHO kein Ansteckungsrisiko für die Gesamtbevölkerung sieht, warnen Virologen vor der nächsten Pandemie. Jetzt sollen auch mRNA-Impfstoffe gegen das Virus entwickelt werden.
In den USA breitet sich die Vogelgrippe bei Rindern aus. Wissenschaftler warnen deshalb vor einer Übertragung auf den Menschen – obwohl es dazu keine Daten gibt.
Obwohl die Vogelgrippe bereits vor über 60 Jahren entdeckt wurde, wird das Virus derzeit zum nächsten Pandemiekandidaten hochstilisiert. Dabei hat nicht einmal die Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) Beweise für die zwischenmenschliche Übertragbarkeit der Vogelgrippe. Dennoch warnen einschlägige Experten, darunter unter anderem der Virologe Christian Drosten, vor der Gefährlichkeit des H5N1-Virus für den Menschen.
In den letzten Monaten häuften sich die Meldungen über Geflügelpest-Ausbrüche in den USA. Auch in Deutschland wurde am Dienstag ein Fall in Niedersachsen bekannt, bei dem es sich um den Ausbruch der Mutation H7N5 handeln soll. Die Folge: 1,3 Millionen Tiere werden für die nächsten drei Wochen isoliert, eine Schutzzone mit einem Radius von drei Kilometern wurde eingerichtet, in dem die Tiere nicht transportiert oder aus ihren Unterbringungen gelassen werden dürfen, 91.000 Legehennen wurden aus Vorsicht vor weiteren Ansteckungen getötet.
Übertragungen auf den Menschen sind währenddessen in Deutschland nicht bekannt. Dennoch warnt Drosten im RND, die aktuelle Entwicklung könnte „schon der Anlauf zu einer nächsten Pandemie sein, den wir hier live mitverfolgen.“ Auch auf politischer Ebene werden die ersten Maßnahmen ergriffen: Am 22. Februar empfahl die Europäische Arzneimittelagentur EMA bereits zwei H5N1-Impfstoffe von der Firma Seqirus für die Zulassung, es fehlt nur noch die Zustimmung durch die EU-Kommission. Bei beiden Impfstoffen handelt es sich um Proteinimpfstoffe (Apollo Newsberichtete).
40 Millionen Impfdosen mehr – wofür?
Anfang Juni wurde bekannt, dass 15 europäische Staaten zusammen 665.000 Impfdosen bestellt haben. Außerdem sicherten sie sich die Option auf weitere 40 Millionen Impfdosen. Mit den zunächst bestellten 665.000 Impfdosen sollen bei Bedarf Personen, die mit Geflügel in Kontakt stehen, geimpft werden. Deutschland hat sich an der gemeinsamen Bestellung des Impfstoffs nicht beteiligt, kann aber jederzeit eigenständig Impfstoff ordern.
Mit den 665.000 Impfdosen sollen vor allem Arbeiter in der Landwirtschaft und Tierärzte oder ähnliche Berufsgruppen immunisiert werden. Wozu in dem Vertrag, der auf maximal vier Jahre datiert ist, eine Option auf weitere 40 Millionen Impfdosen festgehalten ist, bleibt aber fraglich. Denn: Seit 2003 bis Februar dieses Jahres haben sich gerade einmal 887 Menschen mit der Vogelgrippe infiziert. Und laut Robert-Koch-Institut gibt es „derzeit weltweit keine Hinweise für eine fortgesetzte Mensch-zu-Mensch-Übertragung mit aviären Influenzaviren“, also der Vogelgrippe.
Wovor warnen also Drosten und Co., wenn sie von dem nächsten Pandemiekandidaten sprechen? Und warum hält sich die EU die Möglichkeit bereit, 40 Millionen Impfdosen gegen das Virus zu bestellen? Die Vogelgrippe ist keine neue Erscheinung. In den vergangenen Jahren mussten weltweit Geflügelfarmen immer wieder mit Ausbrüchen kämpfen und die eigenen Tiere töten, auch in den vergangenen Monaten gab es in Deutschland einige Fälle. In den USA sorgt derweil eine andere Entwicklung für Aufsehen: Das Virus wurde seit März vermehrt bei Milchkühen nachgewiesen.
132 Herden in zwölf Bundesstaaten sollen von der Vogelgrippe betroffen sein. In diesem Zusammenhang infizierten sich laut der US-Gesundheitsbehörde Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) drei Personen mit dem Virus. Genau damit argumentieren jetzt Wissenschaftler: Erstmals ist das Virus nicht nur auf ein Säugetier übergesprungen, sondern habe sich dort als ansteckend erwiesen und könnte zudem wegen der Verarbeitung der Rinderprodukte auch für den Menschen gefährlich werden. Laut CDC wird das Gesundheitsrisiko für die Gesamtbevölkerung derzeit dennoch als gering eingestuft. Und auch in verarbeiteten Milchprodukten konnte H5N1 nicht nachgewiesen werden, nur für Rohmilch bestehe ein gewisses Ansteckungsrisiko, meinen Forscher im amerikanischen Journal of Virology.
Experten warnen vor „neue[r] Dynamik“
Im ZDF sah der Präsident des in Deutschland zuständigen Friedrich-Loeffler-Instituts, Professor Martin Beer, zwar noch keine eindeutige Pandemiegefahr, aber mahnte, dass „man jetzt die Dinge beobachten“ und „die Verbreitung im Rind“ stoppen müsse. Andere Experten werden da wesentlich konkreter und ziehen bedrohliche Schlüsse aus dem Ausbruch bei Kuhherden.
Today is July 4 when we get our annual dose of patriotic propaganda that serves to wrap us in self-righteousness which enables Washington to conduct its wars. Washington has got away with it for a long time, but now has created and brought us into conflict with a powerful adversary.
According to reports, Russia responded to Washington’s cluster bomb attack on civilians in Crimea by informing Washington that the two countries are now at war. What it means, if anything, remains to be seen. It does not seem to have caused any consternation in Washington.
In actual fact hot war between Russia and Washington began in 2008 when Washington surprised Putin by sending a US trained and equipped Georgian army into South Ossetia. The American sponsored invasion resulted in the deaths of civilians and Russian peace keepers. It only took the Russian Army 5 days to defeat the American trained Georgian Army, so Washington did not have time to get more involved.
The Biden administration and NATO have steadily escalated participation in the Ukraine-Russia war. Recently, Biden authorized Ukraine missile attacks deeper into Russia’s territory using U.S.-made ATACMS ballistic missiles, which have a range of up to 190 miles. All of the expertise necessary to target and guide these attacks will come from the U.S. and NATO.
On May 22, Ukraine drones attacked two Russian nuclear early warning radars at Armavir. Much of the targeting and guidance expertise had to have come from the U.S. and NATO. Suddenly deprived of part of their ability to detect incoming threats, if the Russians had assumed the worse—that they were under nuclear attack and the drone strike was meant to cripple their command and control capabilities—the U.S. and NATO risked a nuclear response.
The U.S.-led alliance is at war with Russia, a fact that’s downplayed or ignored by American mainstream media. Being in a “hot” war with Russia increases the likelihood of nuclear war, triggered either accidentally or intentionally, beyond even the possibility that existed during the Cold War. That possibility was almost realized during the Cuban Missile Crisis. John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev demonstrated wisdom and courage in stepping away from the brink. Now, both sides are trash talking, threatening to use nuclear weapons. Their bluster increases the chances of nuclear war.
An American public that was recently scared into masks, social distancing, lockdowns, deadly experimental vaccines, and the evisceration of civil liberties by a germ about as dangerous as a bad flu bug seems blissfully unaware of the much more severe risks of nuclear war. American officials prattle on about “tactical” nuclear weapons, “escalatory dominance,” and “limited” nuclear war, oblivious to the reality that they control only one side of a chain of decisions to respond and escalate once a conflict goes nuclear.
It would be enlightening to review the effects of atomic bombs on the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. The following excerpts and quotes come from The Making of the Atomic Bomb, by Richard Rhodes, Simon and Schuster, 1986, from a chapter titled “Tongues of Fire.” The Hiroshima bomb was the equivalent of 12,500 tons of TNT and the Nagasaki bomb 22,000 tons of TNT. Current thermonuclear, or hydrogen, bombs—predominantly deployed today—have an explosive force three orders of magnitude greater, measured in the tens of millions of tons of TNT, over 1,000 times as powerful. So far, these have never been used against humans.
On the morning of August 6, 1945, 8:16:02 local time, “Little Boy,” a uranium-235 gun-type fission bomb dropped from Enola Gay, an American B-29, exploded 1,900 feet above a hospital in Hiroshima.
“Just as I looked up at the sky,” remembers a girl who was five years old at the time and safely at home in the suburbs, “there was a flash of white light and the green in the plants looked in that light like the color of dry leaves.” Pg. 713
The temperature at the hypocenter, the point on the ground directly below the explosion, was 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit.
. . . . People exposed within half a mile of the Little Boy fireball, that is, were seared to bundles of smoking black char in a fraction of a second as their internal organs boiled away. “Doctor,” a patient commented to Michihiko Hachiya a few days later, “a human being who has been roasted becomes quite small, doesn’t he?” The small black bundles now stuck to the streets and bridges and sidewalks of Hiroshima numbered in the thousands. Pg. 715
The blast wave rocketed several hundred yards from the hypocenter at 2 miles per second before slowing to 1,100 feet per second, destroying everything in its path and throwing up a huge black cloud of smoke and dust.
That boy had been in a room at the edge of the river, looking out at the river when the explosion came, and in that instant as the house fell apart he was blown from the end room across the road on the river embankment and landed on the street below it. In that distance he passed through a couple of windows inside the house and his body was stuck full of all the glass it could hold. That is why he was completely covered with blood like that. Pg. 716
Perhaps the black bundles’ instantaneous deaths were a blessing. From a grocer who escaped into the street:
The appearance of people, was . . . well, they all had skin blackened by burns. . . . They had no hair because their hair was burned, and at a glance you couldn’t tell whether you were looking at them from in front or in back. . . . They held their arms [in front of them] . . . and their skin—not only on their hands, but on their faces and bodies too—hung down. . . . If there had been only one or two such people . . . perhaps I would not have had such a strong impression. But wherever I walked I met these people. . . . Many of them died along the road—I can still picture them in my mind—like walking ghosts. . . . They didn’t look like people of this world. . . . They had a very special way of walking—very slowly. . . . I myself was one of them. Pgs. 717-718
From a young woman:
I heard a girl’s voice clearly from behind a tree. “Help me, please.” Her back was completely burned and the skin peeled off and was hanging down from her hips. Pg. 718
A young sociologist:
The most impressive thing I saw was some girls, very young girls, not only with their clothes torn off but with their skin peeled off as well. . . . My immediate thought was that this was like the hell I had always read about. Pg. 718
A five-year-old boy:
That day after we escaped and came to Hijiyama Bridge, there were lots of naked people who were so badly burned that the skin of their whole body was hanging from them like rags. Pg. 718
A five-year-old girl:
People came fleeing from the nearby streets. One after another they were almost unrecognizable. The skin was burned off some of them and was hanging from their hands and from their chins; their faces were red and so swollen that you could hardly tell where their eyes and mouths were. Pg. 719
The burns, heat, and sounds of horror were unbearable. From a junior-college girl:
Screaming children who have lost sight of their mothers; voices of mothers searching for their little ones; people who can no longer bear the heat, cooling their bodies in cisterns; every one among the fleeing people is dyed red with blood. Pg. 719
Compounding the horror and agony were the fires and smoke. From a five-year-old girl:
The whole city . . . was burning. Black smoke was billowing up and we could hear the sound of big things exploding. . . . Those dreadful streets. The fires were burning. There was a strange smell all over. Blue-green balls of fire were drifting around. I had a terrible lonely feeling that everybody else in the world was dead and only we were still alive. Pg. 720
From a seventeen-year-old girl:
I walked past Hiroshima Station . . . and saw people with their bowels and brains coming out. Pg. 721
To escape the raging fires, many people went to fire reservoirs or one of the seven rivers that flowed through Hiroshima. From a physician sharing his horror with Michihiko Hachiya, director of the Hiroshima Communications Hospital, who kept a dairy of the bombing and its aftermath:
I saw fire reservoirs filled to the brim with dead people who looked as though they had been boiled alive. In one reservoir I saw a man, horribly burned, crouch beside another man who was dead. He was drinking blood-stained water out of the reservoir. Pg 724.
From a young ship designer trying to reach a train station to return to his home in, of all places, Nagasaki:
I had to cross the river to reach the station. As I came to the river and went down the bank to the water, I found that the stream was filled with dead bodies. I started to cross by crawling over the corpses, on my hands and knees. As I got about a third of the way across, a dead body began to sink under my weight and I went into the water, wetting my burned skin. It pained severely. I could go no further, as there was a break in the bridge of corpses, so I turned back to the shore. Pgs. 725-726
From one of Dr. Hachiya’s patients:
The sight of the soldiers, though, was more dreadful than the dead people floating down the river. I came onto I don’t know how many, burned from the hips up; and where the skin had peeled, their flesh was wet and mushy. . . .
And they had no faces! Their eyes, noses and mouths had been burned away, and it looked like their ears had melted off. It was hard to tell front from back. Pg. 726
From a man trying to help his wife escape the city:
While taking my severely-wounded wife out to the riverbank by the side of the hill of Nakahiro-machi, I was horrified, indeed, at the sight of a stark naked man standing in the rain with his eyeball in his palm. He looked to be in great pain but there was nothing that I could do for him. Pg. 725
Many of those who didn’t die in the first few days seemed to improve, but then sickened. American psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton, who interviewed survivors, explained:
Survivors began to notice in themselves and others a strange form of illness. It consisted of nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite, diarrhea with large amounts of blood in the stools; fever and weakness; purple spots on various parts of the body from bleeding into the skin . . . inflammation and ulceration of the mouth, throat and gums . . . bleeding from the mouth, gums, throat, rectum, and urinary tract . . . loss of hair from the scalp and other parts of the body . . . extremely low white blood cell counts when those were taken . . . and in many case a progressive course until death. Pg 731
It was radiation sickness, or what the Japanese called “atomic bomb illness.”
Direct gamma radiation from the bomb had damaged tissue throughout the bodies of the exposed. The destruction required cell division to manifest itself, but radiation temporarily suppresses cell division; hence the delayed onset of symptoms. The blood-forming tissues were damaged worst, particularly those that produce the white blood cells that fight infection. Large doses of radiation also stimulate the production of an anti-clotting factor. The outcome of these assaults was massive tissue death, massive hemorrhage and massive infection. . . . Pgs 731-732/
An estimated 140,000 were killed by the end of 1945 and 200,000 within five years from the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. The Nagasaki bomb killed 70,000 by the end of 1945 and 140,000 within five years. For both cities, the five-year death rate was about 54 percent of the population. The percentage killed was an inverse function of distance from the hypocenter. At Hiroshima, almost 100 percent were killed at the hypocenter, and the percentage declined to “only” 10 percent two miles away from it. Property damage was extensive. Of Hiroshima’s 76,000 buildings, 70,000 were damaged, of which 48,000 were totally destroyed.
Many of the Americans who made the decision to drop the bombs thought it would prevent the massive loss of allied lives that an invasion of Japan presumably would have entailed. The destructive force of the bombs and the aftereffects of radiation were generally underestimated. Demonstrating to the world, particularly the Soviet Union, the power of the bomb, and preventing a Soviet invasion of Japan were at least as compelling as military necessity for dropping the bombs. Those who thought the bomb was unnecessary included General Dwight Eisenhower, General Douglas MacArthur, Admiral William Leahy, Major General Curtis LeMay, General Hap Arnold, Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz, Brigadier General Carter Clarke, and Ralph Bard, Under Secretary of the Navy.
Almost eighty years later, it’s important to realize that as devastating and deadly as the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs were, they would be relatively tiny compared to what would happen today. The blast, fires, and radiation from one thermonuclear bomb, with a yield of 1,000 times that of the Nagasaki bomb’s 22,000 tons of TNT equivalent, would obliterate a city and surrounding countryside and kill tens of millions of people.
For America’s rulers, the other big difference between then and now is that the other side has its own bombs. Because some of the major nuclear powers’ missiles are carried on submarines, there is no way anyone’s response capability could be wiped out with a first strike. A nuclear strike against Russia or China would mean nuclear bombs dropped on American targets.
What should stop American rulers dead in their tracks is that Russia would be better able to withstand a nuclear attack than the U.S. Russian missiles are faster and more maneuverable and their antimissile technology is superior. Russia is much larger than the U.S. and has more room to hide. Their civil defense measures are far more extensive. Russia, as its history repeatedly demonstrates, knows how to play defense, even in the face of staggering losses.
Before the bomb, wars were often won by the side that was able to escalate to a point where the other side couldn’t match it. The World War I standoff was broken when the U.S. entered the war. The idea of escalatory dominance makes no sense when either side of a conflict can escalate to nuclear war and the other side can respond in kind. Seeking escalatory dominance risks escalatory annihilation of both sides, and perhaps of the entire global population.
These considerations would prevent, among rational people, any sort of threat or provocation that could lead to nuclear war. That the U.S. is playing nuclear chicken with Russia is all the proof one needs that its rulers are insane. They may take comfort from their supposedly bomb-proof bunkers and airborne command-and-control centers, but bombs detonated simultaneously in Washington, New York, and Silicon Valley would wipe them out before they ever reached those bunkers or jets.
Nothing is more insane than the desire to destroy one’s self. Among the West’s rulers, this subconscious desire manifests itself in their reaction to a global realignment of power. Their proxy war and sanctions against Russia have been disastrous failures. Russia and China lead a confederation of a majority of the world’s countries that threatens to eclipse the U.S.-led global billion. Western economies rest on a tottering foundation of debt. The totalitarian plans of globalist string-pullers are floundering on the plans’ inherent unworkability and the resistance of millions of people, empowered by decentralizing communications, computing, and weapons technologies (see “Ants at the Picnic,” Parts One and Two).
In their desperation, Western rulers have reached this point: “If we can’t rule the world, we’ll destroy it.” Facing the loss of their exalted positions and potential prosecution for their many crimes, don’t put it past this human excrement to start a nuclear war in a burst of terminal nihilism. Their cohorts in Israel (a nuclear power) may reach the same point in the Middle East—suicide is better than concession.
Even yesterday’s COVID cowards seem indifferent to today’s much more substantial dangers: instant incineration, boiled organs, skin peeling, eyeballs popping, ears melting, body-wide burns, deadly radiation sickness, and, for those that survive, the complete destruction of everything they have and their way of life. There would be hundreds of millions or billions of small black bundles. The death toll would be a several orders-of-magnitude multiple of COVID and its deadly vaccines’ combined final tally. Incidentally, climate would change for the worse, but the climate-change crowd seems unconcerned.
Many Americans may share their rulers’ death wish. Those of us who don’t must do what we can to stop the insane and their insanity. We can start by refusing to support any politician who advocates escalation in either Eastern Europe or the Middle East, rather than diplomacy, negotiations, and peaceful resolutions. Not one dime or weapon more should go to Ukraine or Israel, who both seek full-fledged U.S. military involvement in their wars—escalation that could lead to nuclear war and annihilation. There is no U.S. “interest” that justifies running that risk, certainly not an “interest” in maintaining a faltering empire.
Admittedly a political boycott of war-mongering politicians is only a small step, but it’s more than anyone’s doing now. The “movement” would gain membership after the first nuclear bomb detonates, but by then it may well be too late.
Vor eineinhalb Jahren, am 15. Januar 2022, gab es einen gewaltigen Vulkanausbruch im Südpazifik nahe dem Tonga-Archipel. Darüber wurde die Öffentlichkeit nicht unterrichtet. Es war eine besondere Eruption unter Wasser, die das Weltklima beeinflusst. So wird erklärlich, warum wir in diesem Jahr außergewöhnliche Wettererscheinungen beobachten müssen.
Bereits im April und Mai diesen Jahres habe ich mich über das Wetter gewundert. Dazu muss ich sagen, dass ich bei meiner Ausbildung zum Pilot bei der Lufthansa auch eine solide Ausbildung in Sachen Meteorologie erhalten habe und seither die Wettererscheinungen mit Interesse verfolge und analysiere. April und Mai waren zu kalt. Im Juni war zu beobachten, dass sich ein ungewöhnlich großes, aber flaches Hochdruckgebiet über ganz Europa gebildet hat, das eine ungewöhnliche Stabilität aufwies. Der Himmel war meist wolkenfrei, aber die Temperaturen entwickelten sich nicht dementsprechend.
Die Beobachtung der Sonnenuntergänge ließ mich vermuten, dass es eine abnormale Menge an Feuchtigkeit in den unteren Luftschichten geben muss. Das zeigte sich unter anderem darin, dass man mit bloßem Auge direkt in die Sonne blicken konnte, wenn diese noch etwa fünf Grad über dem Horizont stand. Sie war nur noch ein orangefarbener Ball und es war das erste mal, dass ich mit bloßem Auge einen goßen Sonnenfleck erkennen konnte. Konkrete Wolken waren es aber nicht, die die Sonne derart abdunkelten. Es war einfach Wasserdunst, der in abnormaler Dichte über dem Land lag, ohne sichtbaren Nebel zu bilden. Also fragte ich mich, wie das wohl zustande kommen konnte. Ich fand keine Erklärung, bis ich auf eine Veröffentlichung der NASA stieß, vom 2. August 2022: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/tonga-eruption-blasted-unprecedented-amount-of-water-into-stratosphere
