Germany is spending 51.8 billion euros on defense this year from its regular budget. Berlin is also drawing from a 100 billion euro emergency fund to push the total spending above the two percent of GDP target. That is the plan going forward in order to meet the two percent target and should mean that Berlin is able to hit the much-discussed target through 2028.

Despite all the endless warnings over the threat of Russian hordes rolling across Europe to the English channel, the fact is that this additional spending makes little difference in Germany’s overall military readiness to take on the Russians. What the additional money does do, however, is help further enrich a lot of (primarily American) private equity stakeholders.

The world is at a dangerous crossroads. The United States and its allies have launched a military adventure which threatens the future of humanity.

The ultimate objective is World conquest under the cloak of “human rights” and “Western #democracy”.

America’s hegemonic project in the post 9/11 era is the “Globalization of War” whereby the U.S.-NATO military machine –coupled with covert intelligence operations, economic sanctions and the thrust of “regime change”— is deployed in all major regions of the world. The threat of pre-emptive nuclear war is also used to black-mail countries into submission.

#Unbelieveable, I just came across this #beautiful #magazine, #libregraphicsmag, about #foss and #libre #graphicdesign, i.e. creating design with tools like #Inkscape, #Blender or #Krita, with #freeculture philosophy in mind. The #project is over now, but there are several volumes for you to #download and read in #pdf. The magazine is of course #free under #creativecommons and you can download its sources from #GitLab here - I imagine this can be hugely useful for #design students, as a #template etc. It's really #professional and beautiful, just take a look. Really #happy to have found this.

From their #manifesto:

"We are a community made up of niches within niches within niches. An understanding of those fractal niches can, however, be gained through concrete examples of achievement and discourse. By building up a forum for understandable discussion and display, we make ourselves visible and real."
