the extrimst ideologies of egosism - NATO member (Erdogan's) Turkey supporting Islamic Extremism - blocking Sweden & Finnland

The No.1 cancer enemy of society is: corruption.

It is in the West – it is (more obvious) in the East.

In the end this is Western cleptocracy vs Eastern oligarchy (cleoptocracy = oligarchy = when the super rich are in power)

There are very well trained doctors & intellectuals in Turkey (esp in the larger cities), while the countryside’s is still in the middle ages?

Double extremist standards:

While supporting ISIS Erdogan’s Turkey declares anyone that is agains him as a terrorist (sounds familiar? Mr Bush?) and demands (in this case Sweden) to extradite “the top 10” of the opposition abroad.

https://nypost.com/2019/09/21/why-isnt-the-media-covering-turkish-president-erdogans-ties-to-isis/

Whoever allowed Turkey into NATO (EU application failed) & Orban’s Hungary into EU is a good damn moron.

Both are corrupt egoistist that only care about their interest playing everyone like a violin while (of course) never having to stand trial.

simply run a search on Erdogans son

https://www.theportal-center.com/2019/04/erdogans-son-in-laws-corruption-speaks-volumes-about-turkey/

Or a search on Orbans closest political allies and homosexual gang bang drug parties in Brussels.(During Corina lockdown!!!)

So: either remove Orban & Erdogan – or remove Orban from EU and Turkey from NATO, doing more harm than good.

Or even better: start something new that

the root of all evil - mankind has a culture crisis - better technology, does not mean "better people culture" (ethical, moral, social competence)

do smart phones make mankind smart?

no of course not.

thanks to capitalism, everyone has developed into maximally individual assholes

better technology, does not mean “better people culture” (ethical, moral, social competence)

mankind has a culture crisis

all the other crisis directly stem from this crisis

it’s no fun

everyone could develop as human being

but those most successful in capitalism actually stop developing as human beings because “why change? the banks love me”

everyone can do something, everyone could contribute something to society

but the current system does not value it

it (wrongfully) “values” the evil doers

and there we are, “stuck” with people you won’t want to spend time with and loads of evil & unsolved problems

If you support US war spending on Ukraine, I dare you to read this.

The permanent war economy, implanted since the end of World War II, has destroyed the private economy, bankrupted the nation, and squandered trillions of dollars of taxpayer money. The monopolization of capital by the military has driven the US debt to $30 trillion, $ 6 trillion more than the US GDP of $ 24 trillion. Servicing this debt costs $300 billion a year. We spent more on the military, $ 813 billion for fiscal year 2023, than the next nine countries, including China and Russia, combined.

We are paying a heavy social, political, and economic cost for our militarism. Washington watches passively as the U.S. rots, morally, politically, economically, and physically, while China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, India, and other countries extract themselves from the tyranny of the U.S. dollar and the international Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), a messaging network banks and other financial institutions use to send and receive information, such as money transfer instructions. Once the U.S. dollar is no longer the world’s reserve currency, once there is an alternative to SWIFT, it will precipitate an internal economic collapse. It will force the immediate contraction of the U.S. empire shuttering most of its nearly 800 overseas military installations. It will signal the death of Pax Americana.

economist says: family working together is the future - crisis opportunity for change - empower the middle class! now!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans-Werner_Sinn

It doesn’t happen often, but this time have to give cudos to “a classic” (very conservative, not very revolutionary thinking) economist Hans Werner von Sinn:

• “Take care of yourselves. Don’t believe that the state can do it. The state will be hopelessly overwhelmed with the socio-political tasks. Social security systems are not in a position to continue the development of living standards as we are used to. The sooner everyone realizes this, the more they will take precautions for the later years of life.”
• The economics professor advises young people to not to wait too long for thinking about having kids and to concentrate on traditional family images.
• “Family cohesion (families working WITH instead of AGAINST each other) will become increasingly important in view of the difficulties of the state,” Sinn explained.
• “Some say that the ECB did not cause the price increases, so it does not have to do anything about it. One cannot argue more wrongly, because the mandate does not focus on the causes of inflation, but on the possibilities of combating it,” the ex-ifo boss continued

…. but not to endanger the 0% financed real estate bubble, where banks sell thousands of vacant buildings in Munich in a circle, IMF-ECB-La Guarde (“The Guardian” (of the banks)) does – nothing.

• “And they consist of interest rate hikes.” In addition, the monetary authority is not entirely innocent of the high inflation rate. With its bond-buying program, the ECB is partly responsible for rising prices, as government securities were purchased with fresh central bank money. Low interest rates have thus encouraged indebtedness, according to Sinn.
• The fact that the ECB has not yet heralded the interest rate turnaround, even though the US Federal Reserve raised the key interest rate by 0.25 percentage points in March, also creates an imbalance in international trade. As a result of the ECB’s inaction, the euro has been significantly devalued, which automatically leads to higher import prices – including in the energy sector.

auto translated from: https://www.finanzen.net/nachricht/aktien/pessimistischer-ausblick-ex-ifo-leiter-hans-werner-sinn-prognostiziert-34-laengere-periode-34-wirtschaftlicher-unsicherheit-ezb-in-der-kritik-11282820

family cohesion: it is (sometimes) hard

… unfortunately, nature decided, out of biodiversity reasons (make every individual an individual = very different from his brothers & sisters, in order to ensure that “at least one” will survive, fast changing circumstances (economic crisis, war, famine, climate change, meteoroids… u name it)

So sisters and brothers are by the design of nature – very different – thus having (sometimes) hard times – understanding each other – getting along with each other.

But IF they manage to accept each other – (and if it’s only by living next door, but never speaking to each other X-D) – things might work out.

Capitalism actually increased that acceptance problem, with some 1 to 10% doing very well (often) at the expense of the 90% (who pay their taxes) – WHILE looking down on the 90% as “bummers”.

the downfall of the middle class, is the downfall of families

or in other worlds: who want’s to put kid’s in a fu**ed up (non sustainable = it is going to end) world? (nobody)

Question: Is it any wonder – that in a system – that was not built for man, but for money “around money”, man will soon no longer appear?

Really?

I am not surprised (unfortunately).

So when “the system” – betrayed the middle class – because of lobbyism by the money of the top 10% (that sometimes “think” they are the “middle class”) – it “programmed” society – for the downfall of the middle-class (who to steal from? nothing to steal from the poor?) and the downfall of families.

It’s as simple as that.

And turning back the time – won’t help.

It won’t help driving old gas guzzling cars that need a portion of lead in the gasoline to actually function correctly.

There is only one way: forward. Into a sustainable economy that serves all. The sooner the super-rich realize this – the better. (but they will want to preserve the status quo until the very end (death)… so it’s a uphill battle for everyone else)

• crisis as chance for transformation:
  • central banks have to be put under democratic rule – this way or another – it is inacceptable – that the central banks serve only the private banks.
• globalization is dead – good – so we can start produce locally and FRESH again 🙂 = more jobs, but who is going to finance those jobs? surely not the existing broken system of corrupt banks.

The Economic Reform the World needs

Dear reader,

first, a disclaimer:

• only god & nobody is perfect
• humans are not god
• thus humans make mistakes, but if given the chance, humans can learn and improve to create “a better world”.
  • no man made product or construct or system will ever be perfect, but does that mean, we should have never left the cave in the first place? (no of course not)

The Economic Reform the World needs

Is a simple one, it can be put in one sentence, but to enact it, will require massive reforms:

“Value those, that add true value to society”

Let’s compare two examples:

• case a) a lady cleans a toilet
• case b) bank A sells house X to bank B

Which of the two cases add more value to society?

money wise case b) can create much more profit, but does it add value to society?

Given the fact, that a lot of houses are purposely left empty (not for rent), just to speculate on rising house prices? (a good example of the perversion that capitalism has become, if unchecked, by a smart, fast moving gov)

In this case, case a) does not only add more value to society, it also does not purposefully harm society as case b) does, by denying access to resources, people need to survive.

So pay those well, that ACTUALLY add value to society, and tax those high, that are malicious to society, and you have a nation that automatically creates value – in the true meaning of the word.

plus: go after the (financial) criminals

all those well-known tax heavens, need serious threats of boycott, if they don’t start changing their business model (Cuba style of trade embargoes).

• don’t allow financial crimes of the bast to become time-barred and financial criminals to get away with it
• don’t cut deals with the bank robbers “oh if you pay back 80% of what you stole, it’s okay”
• give the investigators the means they need, to identify the financial criminals

Failing to do so, will seriously damage the trust of the people in democracy.

the philanthropy bullshit: first extract, than give (some) back?

ok some philantrophy is better than no philantropy… but … look at this case:

Harvard’s “concept” of adding value to society:

“I think it’s important to remember where you came from.”

“Giving back is part of my core philosophy,” says Kim Wagner PhD ’94, who has given consistently to the Graduate School Fund for twenty years.”

“She came to the Graduate of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) for a doctorate in pharmacology, intending to go into academia.”

“Instead, she was inspired to take on the world of biopharmaceutical consulting.”

“I felt like an industry position was the best place for me to add value to society,” says Wagner, who spent the next twenty-five years at the Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey & Company.”

let me translate that:

• you went to Harvard
• studied hard to get good grades
• to then go on to a company that does lobby work for BigPharma (it is called “consulting”), meaning, trying to influence the law makers to make laws in favor of BigPharma, in order to EXTRACT a profit from society, while (maybe) curing some disease, maybe while causing more other disease (drug A helps against disease A, while having side effect B, drug B helps against side effect B, while causing side effect C an so on…)
• you profit from a corrupt and exploitative system
• then you donate some to whatever entity to feel better

• Here have to quote Bregman (again):

  • ### “the Rich are not paying their fair share” (Youtube)

  ### “how to prevent a broad social backlash – the answer is simple – stop talking about philanthropy and start talking about taxes avoidance – taxes – taxes – all the rest is bullshit” (Youtube)

Dear reader, if you are reading this blog post, and dedicated time and brain-resources (energy) thinking about the value of it’s content – if it makes sense or not – how to improve it – what is missing – you just contributed positively to society as well!

What would contribute even more positively: the information from which, action can be derived from.

believe: if not in God - believe humans can learn & be civilized - Rutger Bregman & the history of mankind - gov laws like software development?: garbage collection for laws?

if not in God, believe that humans can learn

What is the difference between humans and animals?

As Dutch historian Rutger Bregman points out in his book “Humankind – A Hopeful History” genetic wise – not much (really would not mind if the reader skips all the depressing parts of this book… WARNING! THIS BOOK CONTAINS A LOT OF DEPRESSING ASSUMPTIONS, THAT MIGHT EVEN BE WRONG!).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_nFI2Zb7qE

Imho humans (should be able) to learn faster than other species.

So these are the two things everyone HAS to believe in:

• humans can learn
• humans can be civilized

With those two believes, come two questions:

• Q1: no civilized rule set ever was perfect, who is in charge for improving it? (hopefully not the incompetent & corrupt?)
• Q2: will humans learn fast enough to escape “the great filters” of evolution, aka prevent disasters from happening, with unrestricted CAPITALISM CLEARLY NOT INCENTIVIZING = PREVENTING LEARNING & super (with exceptions) rich & the banks do not feel responsible for the survival of their own species…?
  • SHOULD the incentives of EVERY system be placed on maximum survivability of the species = maximum sustainability of lifestyles?
  • Would it be UTTER stupidity to NOT do that? (yes)

Bregman & The Neaderthals

Mr Bregman makes COMPLETELY FALSE ASSUMPTIONS, that a bigger brain, would equal to more intelligence.

On average: women have smaller brains, are they less intelligent?

No: ‘”Just like with height, there is a pretty substantial difference between males and females in brain volume, but this doesn’t translate into a difference in cognitive performance,” Nave says.’ (labroots.com)

If that was true, the “sperm wale” (having the biggest brain of all animals), would already have build a swimming pool Mars.

What can not be ruled out, is that the “evilness” of homo sapiens accelerated the extinction of the Neanderthals.

BUT there might also been partnerships between them.

“results of a 2010 project to map the Neanderthal genome showed that 1% to 4% of Middle Eastern and European DNA is Neanderthal DNA” (shortform.com)

“Neanderthals were fairly specialized to hunt large, Ice Age animals.”

“But sometimes being specialized isn’t such a good strategy.”

“When climates changed and some of those animals went extinct, the Neanderthals may have been more vulnerable to starvation.” (si.edu)

Assumption: While homo sapiens (probably) was here and there in conflict with the Neanderthals, imho homo sapiens was not the deciding factor when it comes to extinction of this species.

Same as the mammoth, the neanderthals (probably) fell victim of:

• (too fast) changing climate/environment
• not being able to adapt fast enough

… with ever faster climate change, a dire situation, homo sapiens will have to face too.

But have to say, yes Mr Bregman, homo sapiens “helped” many species to die out. But not all of them.

“The woolly mammoth (M. primigenius) was the last species of the genus.”

“Most populations of the woolly mammoth in North America and Eurasia, as well as all the Columbian mammoths (M. columbi) in North America, died out around the time of the last glacial retreat, as part of a mass extinction of megafauna in northern Eurasia and the Americas.” (Wiki)

During the time of the Dinosaurs, there were no homo sapiens (so this time can’t blame them)

Dinosaurs had no capitalism and clearly did not a good job at

1. early detecting asteroids
2. early redirecting (pushing away) asteroids

Mankind could do better, but will it do it?

Because what is for sure: if mankind sees a crisis coming, and does nothing, everyone can see that chances of survival for mankind are not great.

Right now the evolution of technology is remarkable, but what has not kept up is the evolution of inter-human civilization in the sense of a civilized living together – sustainably (non-sustainable means: it is going to end).

Society was “programmed” by a fiat-loan-money system – basically giving the banks all the power, corrupt politicians (Clinton) removing important protections that were put in place in the past because of devastating crisis (1929), which is simply asking for trouble.

Who is going to steer this boat? profit?

What profit?

Profit of the 1%?

And then? The end of it all?

Settling on Mars will be a hard thing to do, especially if not a lot more of the 1% invest into

1. making earth a better place
2. even if Elon & Bezos think they can do it on their own, even with unlimited money, it will be VERY hard for them to make Mars a place where humans can breathe.
   • The super rich 1% do not live in a complete vacuum,
   • 
   • they too depend on a functional society
     • a nation with roads without holes …
     • a society that is NOT in a civil war like state
     • a society, where everyone rich & poor can feel save, (or even better, where there is a strong middle class) that does not rob & kidnap rich people on a daily basis (as it is already happening in countries such as Brazil… where children of the better-off will have to drive in bullet-proof jeeps through various checkpoints to kindergarden… it takes 30min (!!!) just to pass all checkpoints, #what #the #serious #fuck?,
   • that said:
     • Amazon payed 0€ taxes on 50 Billion of turnover in 2021 in Europe #what the actual #serious #fuck is this if not a fraud?)
     • so nobody has learned ANYTHING there…

gov laws like software development?: garbage collection for laws?

ok some rules clearly make no sense (some are from 1936 and definately need a rethinking).

Also Elon is right, when he says, there needs some sort of “garbage” collection of laws, otherwise, law is cluttered with laws that either make no sense or tie down everyone until nobody can do anything (because everything is forbidden).

BUT: the major problem is like with an old software system like MS DOS.

Can it be reformed? (very hard)

Or: (depending if the mess can be reformed, sometimes it might be better to “start from scratch”)

As with in software development: a list of cases needs to be kept, to test, if the new system can handle them all and better.

Glazyev: Transition to the new world economic order will likely be accompanied by systematic refusal to honor obligations in dollars, euro, pound, and yen. In this respect, it will be no different from the example set by the countries issuing these currencies who thought it appropriate to steal foreign exchange reserves of Iraq, Iran, Venezuela, Afghanistan, and Russia to the tune of trillions of dollars. Since the US, Britain, EU, and Japan refused to honor their obligations and confiscated wealth of other nations which was held in their currencies, why should other countries be obliged to pay them back and to service their loans?

Remember no child can be born in debt.

Time for the empire of debt to fall.

"La Guerre d’ #Ukraine a été la goutte qui a inversé le cours de l’ #Histoire."

Pendant ces heures décisives, nous avons constaté que :

Le vieil #empire occidental n’est pas en mesure, ni mental, ni matériel, de mener une Troisième guerre mondiale pour faire prévaloir sa domination planétaire. Ni une guerre classique (avec intervention au sol, donc pertes humaines conséquentes), ni même probablement un Armageddon nucléaire.
Désindustrialisées, dépourvues de ressources énergétiques et même alimentaires suffisantes pour satisfaire leur boulimie d’ogres, les anciennes cigales dominantes se retrouvent fort dépourvues quand la bise #russe se met à souffler.
La prépondérance monétaire et financière occidentale, reposant sur le #dollar et le réseau #SWIFT, n’est qu’un géant aux pieds d’argile malmené désormais par les #monnaie fourmis que sont le #rouble, le #yuan et même la #roupie indienne."

A #Marioupol, du beau linge occidental aurait été tué ou capturé.
Numerous reports are now circulating claiming that United States Army Major General Roger L. Cloutier has been CAPTURED by Russian forces in or around Mariupol, Ukraine where, the reports claim, he was helping the AZOV Battalion which is Ukraine's official NAZI unit.

Suivez l’argent : comment la Russie va contourner la guerre économique occidentale

pepe #Escobar (assez mal traduit)

Un article de #Bloomberg résume leurs craintes collectives :

"L’exclusion de la #Russie du système mondial critique - qui traite 42 millions de messages par jour et sert de lien vital à certaines des plus grandes institutions financières du monde - pourrait se retourner contre nous, faire grimper l’inflation, rapprocher la Russie de la Chine et soustraire les transactions financières à l’examen de l’Occident. Cela pourrait également encourager le développement d’une alternative #SWIFT qui pourrait à terme porter atteinte à la suprématie du #dollar américain."

Ceux dont le QI est supérieur à 50 dans l’Union européenne ( #UE ) ont dû comprendre que la Russie ne pouvait tout simplement pas être totalement exclue de SWIFT, mais peut-être seulement quelques-unes de ses banques : après tout, les commerçants européens dépendent de l’énergie russe.

Du point de vue de Moscou, c’est un problème mineur. Un certain nombre de banques russes sont déjà connectées au système CIPS de la Chine.....

.../...

Mais cela ne raconte qu’une partie de l’histoire. L’arme fatale de l’arsenal de riposte russe a été identifiée par le chef du Centre de recherche économique de l’Institut de la mondialisation et des mouvements sociaux (IGSO), Vasily Koltashov : la clé est la confiscation de la technologie - comme dans le cas où la Russie cesserait de reconnaître les droits américains sur les brevets.

Dans ce qu’il qualifie de "libération de la propriété intellectuelle américaine", Koltashov appelle à l’adoption d’une loi russe sur les "États amis et inamicaux". Si un pays figure sur la liste des pays hostiles, nous pouvons commencer à copier ses technologies dans les domaines pharmaceutique, industriel, manufacturier, électronique et médical. Cela peut être n’importe quoi - de simples détails à des compositions chimiques". Cela nécessiterait de modifier la constitution russe.

Koltashov soutient que "l’une des bases du succès de l’industrie américaine a été la copie de brevets d’invention étrangers". Maintenant, la Russie pourrait utiliser "le vaste savoir-faire de la #Chine avec ses derniers processus technologiques de production pour copier les produits occidentaux : la libération de la propriété intellectuelle américaine causera des dommages aux États-Unis à hauteur de 10 000 milliards de dollars, seulement dans la première phase. Ce sera un désastre pour eux".

Example Ethiopia - Why 100 millions non-sustainability refugees will flee Africa - lack of sustainable non-renewable lifestyles globally

First of “good” news:

• Africa is NOT (yet) the dry and barren land that many in “the West” envision, when thinking about Africa
• global population growth rate is on decline
• according to UN the 10 billion inhabitants mark could be passed 2057

https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/ethiopia-population/

Good news is also, that there are very intelligent farmers in Africa, that try to stop the desert by Zai technique (holes + cattle dung, first plant bushes, than trees, crops can grow in the shade)

The Man Who Stopped The Desert – Zai technique – Yacouba Sawadogo watch the documentary https://ytpak.net/watch?v=KOIWJFzx68E

Also Africa’s population growth rate is slowing down, but it is still the highest in the world.

Non-sustainable life-styles also in Africa? Yes!

Eucalyptus forests are only natural in Australia, not in Brazil and not in Africa, they are planted by humans, because they grow fast and burn well.

Non-sustainable modes (means: it is going to end) of survival sounds like a problem of “fast-food-obese” developed western post-industrial nations and yes – there is a massive problem there.

But in this case – Africa has the same problem as USA or Europe or (increasingly) China: non sustainable ways of survival that over use of finite resources in an non-recycling non-reuse non-sustainable way.

Dr. Christof Schenck, Frankfurt is fighting an uphill, almost impossible to win, battle.

He says, that the gov of Ethiopia needs to tell the police to take this matter serious and keep illegal settlers and cattle out of the environmental protection zones.

Will they listen? Surely not. “Because they have a tough time survive the next days” says Dr Schenck, “but if they continue like this, they will destroy the basis of their own survival”

“there is no conflict man vs environment-protection, man will surely lose if we can not rescue the forests of the Bale national park” (Wiki)

“currently we lose 10% of the forests per year”

“we (the West) did not realize the dimensions of this crisis yet”

“40.000 people live illegal in the national park”

“12 million people are dependent downstream from the water of the park”

“we (the West) need to help stabilize Ethiopia”

In the worst case, it would mean: mankind is stupid and a slow learner leading to the Lorax” Problem:

That the majority only starts to realize the problems caused, when the last tree has fallen.

The destruction by exploitation of environment (+China and Russia and USA and EU induced climate change) will lead to droughts and famine, causing millions Africans to flee their home country (nobody likes to flee one’s home country) and knock knock on the barb wire fences of Europe.

What will Europe do?

• refugees: “Hurray finally cheap labor” (aka slaves)
  • “What? Slavery is illegal? GO BACK TO AFRICA!”
  • (or stay and work for the Italian Tomato-Mafia with sometimes pay and sometimes no pay)
• the West needs to lead by example by living more sustainable lifestyle and less like grasshoppers, eat, eat, move on
• Ethiopia exports a lot of coffee (in contrast to South America, people there drink it) so it is important to pay them a fair price (ask for fair trade coffee and where it is from)

To live sustainability with nature – is possible.

Just as the West needs to transit from fossil fuel addiction to CO2-neutrality

Africa needs to change to sustainable renewable lifestyles (do not cut more trees than grow)

Africa still #1 in Population Growth rate (+2.49% per year)
