“Und dann, in diesem Zustand von Enttäuschung und Freiheit von Erwartung tritt wirklich auch der Moment ein, wo ich mich selber frei fühle und (ich) so leben kann, wie ich wirklich bin.” Gunnar Kaiser, Ich bin so enttäuscht! (kaisertv.de bzw. YT, 12.10.2022)
Zitat
Julian Assange, “Demokratie” und selektive Strafverfolgung – Zitat
“Assange has been locked away for years in a maximum-security prison in Britain. He is facing extradition to face 17 counts of violating the Espionage Act for disclosing classified information. If the Brits deliver Assange to the U.S. government, he has almost no chance for a fair trial because of how prosecutions are rigged in federal court (…) At this point, America is an Impunity Democracy in which government officials pay no price for their abuses (…) Pervasive secrecy helps explain the collapse of trust in Washington. Americans today are more likely to believe in witches, ghosts, and astrology than to trust the federal government (…) Assange is guilty of lese-majeste – embarrassing the government by exposing their follies, frauds, and crimes.” James Bovard, Julian Assange and Our Impunity Democracy, mises.org, 7.10.2022
T. Watkins ü. die Werttheorie von Marx (& “bürgerlicher” tutti quanti)
“Marx was right though. There was something about all of that industrial machinery churning out volumes of goods unthinkable in a pre-industrial age. But it wasn’t the machinery in and of itself that was the source of value any more than it was the workers. Rather, it was the massive quantities of fossilised sunlight in the coal which powered the machinery which was one source of value. And the calories in the food consumed by the workers was another – albeit weak – source of value.” Tim Watkins, Consciousness of Sheep, A Question of Value
Dichte Energie & “demokratisches” Polit-Gesindel – Zitat des Tages
“Politicians cannot tell the world how bad the energy situation really is. The problem with near-term energy limits has been known since at least 1956 (M. King Hubbert) and 1957 (Hyman Rickover). The problem was confirmed in the modeling performed for the 1972 book, The Limits to Growth by Donella Meadows and others Most high-level politicians are aware of the energy supply issue, but they cannot possibly talk about it (…) Militaries around the world are no doubt well aware of the fact that there will not be enough energy supplies to go around. This means that the world will be in a contest for who gets how much.” Gail Tverberg, Why No Politician Is Willing to Tell Us the Real Energy Story, ourfiniteworld.com, 23.8.2022
Rozencwajg über die globale Energiekrise – Zitat des Tages
“For two years now inventories around the world have been declining, which means that demand has been running ahead of supply. Energy prices have been moving higher, energy stocks have shown leadership and yet we’ve seen no capital response – no money has been put back into the ground in any of the extractive industries really – and that’s just been ratcheting this market tighter and tighter and tighter.” MacroVoices #334 Adam Rozencwajg: Understanding the Global Energy Crisis (YT)
Sanktionen: Gewisse Auswirkung a. Russen, verheerende auf EU, Zitat
“And while our sanctions have no doubt had some impact, let’s be frank, the blowback from the sanctions we’ve imposed on our european allies has been horrific. Now the Russians have simply announced that they will stop exporting any oil or gas to Germany until further notice. I think that’s going to hit a lot of other Europeans.” [Read more...]
Ukrainische Kriegspropaganda und westliche Journaille – Zitat d. Tages
“The Western media did everything in its power to give the Ukrainian defense the appearance of far greater strength than it really possessed. Careful observers noted that the same video clips of Russian tanks under attack were shown repeatedly. Local counterattacks were reported as though they were operational maneuvers (…) Kiev’s war with Moscow is lost. Ukrainian forces are being bled white. Trained replacements do not exist in sufficient numbers to influence the battle, and the situation grows more desperate by the hour. No amount of U.S. and allied military aid or assistance short of direct military intervention by U.S. and NATO ground forces can change this harsh reality.” When the Lies Come Home, Douglas MacGregor, The American Conservative
EUropa, mach’ Schluss mit dem selbstmörderischen Unsinn! – Zitat
“For your own children´s sake – on my knees and with my saddened eyes humbly looking downwards – I beg of you to please stop the current self-destructive nonsense dead in its tracks by immediately demanding from your political class to import the bloody Russian oil normally once again as Europe had been doing for dozens of years. The impact that the ban on Russian oil has upon your daily lives now and for years yonder is such that at the very least a Referendum should have been held.” Jorge Vilches, Pitchforks soon in Europe?, thesaker.is, Zerohedge, 11./13.6.2022
“Politik nicht mehr die Lösung, sondern das Problem” – Zitat
“Politik ist nicht die Lösung, Politik ist das Problem in der Zwischenzeit (…) Wir sehen, dass das Parteiensystem, die Politik, wie wir sie momentan haben, nicht mehr zeitgemäß ist, nicht mehr funktioniert, zu lahm ist, zu inkompetent, zu korrupt ist und diesen Unmut sieht man ja seit mehreren Jahren. Wir sehen eigentlich Vertragsbrüche am laufenden Band, wir sehen Inkompetenz, Fehlentscheidungen, historische Fehlentscheidungen….” Marc Friedrich, Politik ist nicht mehr die Lösung, sondern das Problem, YT, 28.5.2022
Politicos, Technokraten: Ultimative Apokalyptische Reiter – Zitat
“The true horsemen of the current ‘apocalypse’ then, are the western elites and technocrats, safe in their gated communities, whose inability to act appropriately and whose self-centred propensity to act against the public interest, threatens real hardship for large numbers of people. And with this in mind, perhaps, it is worth considering that once the various ideological narratives have been wiped away, the one common factor that can be found in every revolution ever, was the presence of large numbers of rumbling bellies in the days and months before.” The Fake Horsemen of the Apokalypse”, consciousnessofsheep.co.uk
Ohne Ammoniak, Plastik, Stahl und Zement geht’s nicht – Zitat d. Tages
“Modern economies will always be tied to massive material flows, whether those of ammonia-based fertilizers to feed the still-growing global population; plastics, steel, and cement needed for new tools, machines, structures, and infrastructures; or new inputs required to produce solar cells, wind turbines, electric cars, and storage batteries. And until all energies used to extract and process these materials come from renewable conversions, modern civilization will remain fundamentally dependent on the fossil fuels used in the production of these indispensable materials. No artificial intelligence designs, no apps, no claims of coming ‘dematerialization’ will change that.” Vaclav Smil, The Modern World Can’t Exist Without These Four Ingredients. They All Require Fossil Fuels [Read more...]
Schanghai, Teststation f. Untergang der Welt wie wir diese kennen, Zitat
“Shanghai has always been seen as the most “civilized” city in China. Shanghai is often called Le Paris de l’Orient, it is an “international” first tier city… probably the top Chinese city in terms of openness, quality of life and access to medical care. Nobody expected to see such levels of insanity in Shanghai… in other areas of the country, yes, but not here (…) My take is: It could be a test for something much bigger (ie., war, energy crisis) or they are truly afraid of the unrest if lots of old people were to die. Chinese people tend to get emotional and the last thing the authorities want to deal with is mobs lynching doctors in the streets.” Ugo Bardi, The lockdown in China: if the powerful are doing something that looks stupid, is because whatever they’re doing IS actually stupid
Ukraine: “US-Kriegsziel ist weitere Schwächung Russlands” – Zitat
“This is a one-sided match, it’s murder pure and simple. Every Ukrainian soldier we’re training to use an American artillery piece will die in combat that’s a guaranteed outcome. There’s no military math that can change this. The same thing with every Ukrainian soldier training to drive a Polish tank or an East German armored fighting vehicle they are going to die (…) so I believe the president (Biden) has been briefed on the inevitable outcome of this conflict and that the goal right now is to drag this out in hopes of further weakening Russia.” Scott Ritter – Putin Ukraine Biden Update (Judge Napolitano-Interview), YT, 26.4.2022
Die Geschichte von zwei Vitamin D-Studien – Zitat des Tages
“We can say, there’s no difference here between the higher dose (of a Vit D. supplemented group), the lower dose (group) and the no offer group dose (wrt respiratory infections including Covid). Surprising – but that is, what the evidence is showing (…) Again that gives us a comparison between those two groups – patients with lower vitamin D levels were 14 times more likely to have severe or critical illness.” Dr. John Campbell, Vitamin D, a tale of two studies
