In December last year, the United States announced that it wanted to deploy "Skynet-like weapons" against its geopolitical adversaries. Relevant reports have revealed that the Pentagon is even using new military nomenclature for such a system, calling it ADA2 or all-domain attritable autonomous weapons; not to be confused with the similarly named A2 /AD or anti-access/area denial weapons). At the time, I argued that when such programs had advanced nomenclature, it clearly implied that said weapons systems were already deeply embedded in emerging U.S. strategy. The latest revelations from the infamous neoliberal mouthpiece, the New York Times, have just confirmed my hypothesis by revealing that the Pentagon is using advanced AI (artificial intelligence) to “kill Russian troops.” Precisely in these terms.

In an article titled "In Ukraine, New American Technology Won, Until It Was Overtaken," White House National Security Reporter David E. Sanger reveals disturbing details of the project Maven which was "destined to revolutionize modern warfare." Sanger questioned the program's ability to "turn the tide," but still explained how it works. Indeed, in 2018, Google launched a $9 million project to develop an advanced AI system that would help the US military fight wars by using drone footage to easily determine enemy positions. Sanger then goes on to launch into a laughable "moral high ground" rant that this idea "triggered a large-scale revolt" and an "outcry" on the Google campus, while "engineers and other Google employees claimed that the company should have nothing to do” with the Maven project.

Yet, according to Sanger's admission, "the Maven project is not dead, it has simply been handed over to other entrepreneurs." Obviously, the United States will never give up on finding new "brilliant" ways to kill people around the world. The program has since grown exponentially and is actively being tested in Ukraine, where the Pentagon shares battlefield data directly with neo-Nazi junta forces. Sanger further admitted that the "results are mixed", as Project Maven gave "generals and commanders a new way to present a complete picture of Russia's movements and communications in a comprehensive, user-friendly picture, using algorithms to predict where troops are moving and where attacks might take place,” but that it is doubtful that this “will help turn the tide of the war at a time when the Russians have regained momentum.”

Interestingly, Sanger also admits that the NATO-orchestrated conflict in Ukraine has become a "testing ground for Project Maven and other rapidly evolving technologies." He said US drones were "easily blown out of the sky" but that helped the Pentagon realize it needed to build a massive network of military satellites identical to those on Elon Musk's Starlink. It is worth noting that, despite Musk's billionaire “pacifist genius” exterior, he is just another US military contractor helping Washington DC continue its relentless aggression against the world. SpaceX has been involved with the Pentagon for a long time, practically since its inception, so one can only expect that its technologies will be used for military purposes. After all, Musk boasted that he “prevented Crimea’s mini-Pearl Harbor” by denying its use to the Kiev regime.

Meanwhile, NATO military personnel, particularly American and British, have been deployed to Ukraine to help their neo-Nazi proxies use the new advanced AI system to "explore new ways of finding and exploit Russian vulnerabilities, even as U.S. officials attempt to navigate legal restrictions on the extent to which they can become involved in the targeting and killing of Russian troops. This is further confirmation of the many claims by my colleagues and I that NATO is directly involved in targeting Moscow's soldiers because there is no "multi-layered way to kill someone ". Either you do it or you don't. This is hardly surprising, given that some senior Western officers openly boast of their direct participation in the attack on Russian forces. This admission alone could easily serve as a legitimate casus belli for the Kremlin.

And not to mention the NATO terrorist attacks against Russian civilians, orchestrated by the puppets of the Kiev regime with the aim of not only provoking religious and ethnic unrest in Russia, but also to incite Moscow to launch retaliatory strikes against the belligerent alliance itself, so that Western politicians can then present their direct confrontation with the Eurasian giant as a so-called “defense”. Knowing all this, one surely wonders if the true meaning of the infamous acronym "NATO" is actually "Nazi American Terrorist Organization", as that perfectly encompasses everything it truly stands for. As a geopolitical (and, in many ways, literal) outgrowth of the Third Reich and the Axis powers, it might as well rename itself that, because nothing would really change except that it would be honest about at least one thing about him.

Sanger's other revelations only reinforce this notion, although he has continued to unsuccessfully attempt to mask this essentially illegal military AI program with laughable euphemisms, like this one: "Project Maven quickly became the "the most notable success among the Pentagon's many efforts to tiptoe into algorithmic warfare." And indeed, using phrases like “tiptoeing into algorithmic warfare” is not a very good way to cover up what can only be described as Skynet-style terrorism. The Pentagon itself has also boasted that Project Maven is a way for the United States to "exploit its technological competitive advantage to maintain superiority over Russia and China in an era of renewed superpower rivalries." This is further confirmation that Washington DC will stop at nothing to remain relevant on the geopolitical stage, whatever the means.

As for Google's "non-involvement for moral reasons," that also turned out to be a blatant lie, since Sanger himself said that Eric Schmidt, one of the company's top executives, “is now learning lessons from Ukraine to develop a new generation of autonomous drones that could revolutionize warfare.” So much for the “large-scale revolt” and “uproar” over the use of advanced AI as a weapon. And yet, even though Sanger essentially presented Project Maven as a kind of “silent, invisible wunderwaffe,” the reality on the ground is quite different. Indeed, the Pentagon is frustrated by Russia's ability to quickly adapt to these new weapons systems, disrupting or completely negating its ability to change the situation on the battlefield. Sanger singled out Moscow's world-class electronic warfare (EW) capabilities as the main problem.

By his own admission, Russian electronic warfare systems have effectively turned American drones into plastic waste. Worse still for the Pentagon, the vastly overrated HIMARS is often blocked, its rockets and missiles rendered useless. The US military and NATO are trying to figure out how Moscow achieves this, so they can "someday use it directly against the Russian military", but what their planners have managed to figure out so far is t is that Russia's electronic warfare advantage is forcing the West to return to "the brutality of old-fashioned trench warfare, the results of which are rarely what Pentagon planners expect." Sanger also said that “Starlink is often the only thing that connects Ukrainian soldiers to headquarters or to each other,” once again clearly implicating Elon Musk and showing that he is little more than an arms dealer .

Sanger also quoted former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley as saying that "for a while we thought it was going to be cyberwar, and then we thought that it looked like old-fashioned World War II tank warfare, but then there were days when it felt like they were fighting World War I.” This demonstrates the Kremlin's ability not only to quickly adapt to the situation on the ground, but also to shape the battlefield as it sees fit, leaving entire teams of U.S. and NATO planners perplexed as to whether to the doctrine to use in a given situation. Occupied with its aggression against the world which primarily includes the intimidation of largely powerless opponents, the political West has completely ignored entire aspects of conventional warfare, foolishly thinking that much of it is supposedly "outdated". ".

The US military uses one of its bases "more than a thousand miles west of Ukraine, deep within a US base in the heart of Europe" (suggesting it is located most likely in Germany) as an intelligence gathering center "that became the focal point" the central point of the effort to bring together allies and new technology to target Russian forces. Once again, this is a clear admission of NATO's direct involvement in the Ukrainian conflict. However, Sanger conceded that "visitors are not recommended in 'The Pit,' as the center is called." He also admits that U.S. officials "rarely discuss its existence," partly for security reasons, but "mostly because the operation raises questions about America's deep involvement in the day-to-day business of finding and to kill the Russian troops. And there it is again, Washington DC casually playing with World War III.

Tehran did not seek to attack the Israeli civilian population, but to test the IDF defenses. For the first time, it used hypersonic missiles that neither Israel's allies nor its army were able to intercept.

he expected Iranian retaliation had been widely telegraphed 72 hours in advance and even calibrated, according to the Financial Times, for fear of soaring oil prices.

Larry Johnson, a former CIA agent, noted that despite the West's insistence that Iran is failing - the song of Western "grooms", whose multimedia is largely controlled by the "Israeli lobby" - Iran carried out what it planned to do in Israel and demonstrated a remarkably sophisticated capability, with maneuverable warheads.

Israel's most popular newspaper, Yediot Aharonot, criticized Israel's strategic failure, while the Washington Times denounced the Biden administration's "deterrence failure" in preventing conflict between Iran and Israel.

Hayman Tamir, director of the Israeli think tank Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), said Iran was able to cause damage to Israel without the United States engaging in a counterattack - this which Prime Minister Netanyahu would have strongly wished for.

Ilya Tsukanov of Sputnik – media outlet of Russia, one of the two hypersonic missile superpowers, in unison with China – reports that Iranian multimedia confirms the use of undetectable hypersonic missiles.

As for the Iranian channel PressTV, it showed, with supporting video, that all the hypersonic missiles used succeeded in reaching their targets: the very important air bases of Nevatim, where the F-35s are installed, and of Ramon, very close to the clandestine nuclear power plant of Dimona.

PressTV says Iran is among a handful of countries that possess the technology to produce hypersonic missiles capable of traveling at astonishing speeds and hitting their targets with great precision.

Other Iranian sources claim that its hypersonic missiles (Fattah 2) hit a secret Mossad military base in the Syrian Golan Heights, which belongs to Syria and was annexed by Israel - reportedly costing 44 lives ( sic) spies - and even hit a Mossad building in Tel Aviv.

Beyond the propaganda war dominated by the "Israeli lobby" in the West, which extols the exploit of Israel, helped by the United States, the United Kingdom, France and even Jordan, of having destroyed 99% (sic) of Iran's array of drones/cruise missiles/ballistic missiles, former US Marine spy officer Scott Ritter - who famously debunked Baby Bush and weapons nonsense of mass destruction of Saddam Hussein which never existed - asserts that "Iran has reestablished deterrence" (from the Latin deterrere, to deter by terror) so as to now keep Israel and the United States in check, while Israel thought it could launch an attack on Iran without having to suffer the consequences. This is now done, even if Iran deliberately did not inflict excessively murderous action on Israel. It was a message of deterrence, not an attack!

The capital and its inhabitants are clearly rejoicing in the festivities and never has the word “Olympic events” found such a beautiful resonance with what Parisians are currently going through, who are now enjoying every minute of anticipation of these future great moments.

Future great moments which must be carefully prepared and which have already been the opportunity, in particular for the mayor of Paris, to visit the locations of the various events in which we find – quite conveniently – Papeete, this small town which borders Paris and which will notably host the surfing events.

With a small plane trip (this is close to 15.000 kilometers) for which carbon compensation has not been mentioned - but which we can be sure has been carried out as Anne Hidalgo is obviously eco-conscious - and a small bill for the Parisian taxpayer of around 60.000 euros, the installations could be verified...ah no, ultimately, the trip triggering itching for the opposition, the Parisian taxpayers, part of the press and quite a few French people in general , the mayor will not have pushed to the site of the surfing event.

All this will lead us a few months later to a small investigation and searches to collect evidence of a possible illegal taking of interests and embezzlement of public funds (oh, gosh) which we have no doubt will allow to completely cleanse the honor of the municipal team.

The preparation does not stop there since, let us remember, it also includes the furtive removal of the bulky students who take bread from the athletes' accommodation: the expulsions have begun. Phew, the place is freed, the athletes are relieved, Olympism is breathing.

Likewise, deportation, the discreet movement of hundreds of migrants and other vagrants outside the city and their relocation, always at the expense of the taxpayer, almost everywhere in the rest of the country, is going rather well even if certain mayors (that of Orléans for example) are offended in a somewhat green way. Phew, the place is cleaned, the organizers relax, Olympism is smiling again.

But what would this beautiful ceremony be without great organization and above all solid security guaranteeing everyone to enjoy a show like no other?

And precisely, in this matter, we already know that everything will be done to obtain a level of security for individuals. Like never before... or almost, since we will finally put back in place what was a real success in 2021 and 2022, namely providing Parisians and spectators with a solid little QR code during their travels (the self- certificate should not take long now).

We are already delighted to know that an internet platform will soon be available, which will give all Parisians concerned the opportunity to enter a whole bunch of relevant information on their comings and goings, and we wish Olympic courage to all our seniors whose mastery of digital tools is more than sufficient to guarantee that these small QR codes will be correctly distributed.

And frankly, who is not already looking forward to a return of controls and police patrols in part of the capital? This will ensure the legendary security of Parisian streets at least during the games period. The residents concerned will love it!

Finally, all these considerations would not be complete without mentioning that all this will take place with almost total control of costs and expenses.

Indeed, when we read the article devoted to the costs of these Olympic Games, it appears that the calculation of the total is particularly precise: between the initial budget, the current budget, the overruns, the State guarantees, the various expenditure and revenue items, we are completely reassured about what will inevitably be the final responsibility of the taxpayer.

But if.

It appears, however, that the total should oscillate around 11 billion euros according to different estimates, of which 3, 4 or 5 billion would remain the responsibility of the taxpayers pardoned by the State according to Moscovici, the current president of the Court of Auditors, all for an initial budget of 3,8 billion euros, already higher than the 3,2 billion in the application file. We can only admire the truly diabolical precision of these figures and of the official body responsible for the Accounts: for a total of 11 billion, that gives us 7 billion in small plump overruns, and 3 to 5 billion euros of Public money gives us an envelope which varies easily by more than 60% on overruns of more than 100%. It's pretty.

Rest assured, however: the journalistic propaganda teams are already on deck to remind us that even with a bill of 11 billion euros (which the entire French Nation can very well afford in these times of growth and Macronian opulence), these games will probably be among the least expensive in recent history.

But if.

In fact, we even wonder, in the face of these modest figures, why we are sparing so much, even to the point that the Île-De-France region has, for example, refused to cover the travel costs of 200.000 accredited people (athletes, officials, journalists…) even though it had been courteously requested by the official Games committee and this budget only represents a little less than 10 million euros.

There is no denying that this event oozes millimeter precision and cost control down to the smallest item of expenditure! This puts us in the best position to imagine what the organization of the events themselves, of the opening and closing ceremonies, could give, and which suggests an exceptional level of quality for safety and security. support for players, spectators and all trades around this event. The English fans will love it!

No doubt, it will go very, very well. Everything will even be Olympic, for sure.

Unlike mental blindness which affects actual visual perception, aphantasia only impacts the ability to create images in the mind. Concretely, if you try to imagine the face of a close friend and you cannot see anything, you may be aphantasic. Explanations.

There are approximately 2% of people in the world who do not have a “mental eye”. This part of the population would be incapable of imagining the face of a loved one or the shape of a fruit. But the absence of mental images is not limited to vision. Aphantasia can also affect other senses, such as hearing, smell, touch and taste.

We thus distinguish visual aphantasia (inability to visualize images), from its derivatives: akoupantasia (inability to hear sounds in one's head), mental anosmia (inability to smell imaginary odors), mental ageusia (inability to taste imaginary flavors), mental anesthesia (inability to feel imaginary tactile sensations).

The intensity of aphantasia varies from one individual to another. Some can visualize fleeting images, while others perceive no mental images at all, no matter how hard they concentrate.

A world without images

The impact of aphantasia is of several degrees on the lives of those affected. Some may have difficulty remembering visual information, such as memories, or integrating abstract concepts. Of course, they can develop alternative learning and memorization strategies, such as associating images with key words or using another functional memory, such as auditory or tactile memory.

However, contrary to popular beliefs, this disorder does not necessarily mean an absence of creativity. People with aphantasy can excel in artistic and imaginative areas by using other senses and relying on their logic and abstract intelligence. Indeed, in the absence of the most common form of imagination, other forms of conception can be stimulated: narrative, kinesthetic or even sensory.

Furthermore, the dreams of people with aphantasy may be different from those of people who visualize. They can be more abstract, based on sensations and emotions rather than images.

Mirnes Ajanović, Bosnian lawyer and president of the political party BOSS, says that after the arrival of harmful Saharan dust in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a comparative analysis of sand from the Sahara Desert and fallen sand was carried out in order to determine if the dust linked to precipitation was real Saharan sand.

It was imperative to know the chemical composition of this dust and whether it contained toxic elements.

Many harmful elements and substances were found, such as arsenic, iron, manganese, copper, aluminum, etc., and very significant differences were noted between the Saharan sand and the sample from the precipitation that has very high levels of harmful substances, such as aluminum, which exceeds the concentration of Saharan sand by more than 700 times.

Today I'm going to come out.

I'm from the left.

I am totally, viscerally left-wing. Are you going to tell me what this has to do with the shortage of medicines and Charles’ “leftness”?

You know why ? Because I am very sensitive to the suffering of others. We call this empathy. I believe that when one of us falls, we must reach out to them. I sincerely, viscerally, think that what fundamentally defines a society and its degree of advancement of “civilization” would say for certain, is its way of taking care of the weakest, the most fragile, the “defenseless”. So, yes, I am left-wing.

However, I am not a socialist.

“The problem with socialism is that one day you end up having spent all of other people’s money.”

But even more serious...

“There is no such thing as socialism without danger. If it's safe it's not socialism. And if it is socialism it is not without danger. The path of socialism drags us down, toward less freedom, less prosperity, lowers us toward more confusion, more failure. If we follow him to his destination, we will lead this country to ruin. »

This is how we no longer have medicines, that we, in France, in this “developed” France of the year 2024, this France which is waging war against Russia with a Professor Trouposol at its head and a “ Mozart” of finance at Bercy who wants to bring the Russian economy to its knees, we no longer have medicine in our pharmacies.

It's the shortage.

Socialism is always scarcity.

It always ends in tragedy.

Always.

Egalitarianism always leads to ruin and dictatorship.

“We believe they should be people. We are all unequal. No one, thank God, is the same as anyone else, contrary to what most socialists can claim. We believe that everyone has the right to be different but for us every human being is of equal importance. »

I am left-wing because I sincerely believe that every human being is equally important, but I am not a socialist because I believe in the necessity of inequalities to maintain freedom and diversity!

Equality is a dictatorship that crushes all diversity and all freedom. If we are all equal then... we are all the same, and when we are all the same, there is no more freedom, no more difference.

So I am left-wing but not socialist.

I am not a socialist, because this ersatz political doctrine is bogus.

I am not a socialist, because they confuse egalitarianism and equality of rights and duties.

I am not a socialist, because they confuse assistance with just solidarity and necessary mutual aid.

I am not a socialist, because they deny difference and freedom in the name of the dictatorship of egalitarianism and false social justice.

I am not a socialist, because they think that the “magical” State, with “magical” thinking and “magic” money can fantasize a world and abstract itself from reality.

I am not a socialist, because reality always comes back at a gallop and when reality returns it is not the rich socialists in the portfolio on the right and who live on the left bank who suffer. No, it's the small ones, the low-ranking ones, the fragile ones.

I am not a socialist, because they are generous with other people's money without shame and never with their own, refusing true generosity for themselves and imposing it on others.

I am not a socialist, because they think that they can, in a world open to all, in a world where there is the free movement of goods and merchandise, regulate and fix the prices of medicines.

They think these imbeciles, because they are “the State” that they can say to the pharmaceutical laboratories, “I buy your box for 1 euro” and the Lab responds, no problem, I will sell it to the Hungarians , because over there, at 10 euros, “Hungarian is still not expensive”… or to Czechs with provisions and not to bad checks from the French State.

So we don't have any more medicine.

We have a shortage of medicines.

Not because the drug factories are no longer producing.

There is no shortage of medicines in Hungary or the Czech Republic, former comrade countries of the well-socialist republics. They spent 70 years there in socialist bliss.

There is a shortage of medicines in France.

France, this country so brilliant, so wonderful, which became… West Korea.

In West Korea we can no longer get treatment and yet it all costs a crazy amount of money.

So after 40 years of socialism and a socialist administered economy we are in the wall.

We are ruined.

In this presentation, which could seem technical at first glance, clay is clearly presented in detail and with methodology to understand its action, and to use it in an informed manner: definition, manufacturing and particle size, properties and colors, varieties or clay families, benefits and frameworks of use.

This complete guide concludes with the description of a particular family of clays, the Bentonites, due to their remarkable mineral composition (montmorillonite + illite + kaolinite, in specific proportions), giving them much greater adsorption and absorption capacities. higher than all the others; the quarries of Périgord from which they are naturally extracted play a particular role in the expression of these exceptional properties.

Au Bon Sens has chosen, for several years, to offer bentonite clay from Périgord, of superfine quality, with the addition of the reference work L'Argile qui uit by Raymond Dextreit.

Doctor Jade Allègre, undeniable specialist in the therapeutic use of clay, attacked for her work! Clay, a cheap remedy that can cost Big Pharma dearly…

“Clay has an extraordinary affinity for anything foreign to the body and/or toxic: it literally cannot stand the presence of the slightest impurity and will not rest until everything is cleaned. »

The machine, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), blasts protons against each other to crack them open and study the subatomic particles they contain.

During next month's eclipse, the team of scientists will attempt to prove the existence of dark matter, which is estimated to make up about 28 percent of the universe, although it has never been known. view.

While the LHC typically runs for a month each year, it has been two years since it was brought back into operation after being shut down during the 2022 European energy crisis.

Last week, scientists revealed that a "ghost" structure had been discovered inside the particle collider.

Popular X account "Concerned Citizen" commented on CERN's solar eclipse tests and also noted that NASA will launch rockets named after an Egyptian serpentine deity during the event.

NASA's mission, known as Atmospheric Perturbations Around the Path of the Eclipse (APEP), was named in honor of the "serpent deity of ancient Egyptian mythology," who was a "nemesis of the divinity of the Sun, Ra”.

“It is said that Apep pursued Ra and, from time to time, almost consumed him, causing an eclipse,” reads the NASA website.

According to Ancient Egypt Online, “Apep was the ancient Egyptian spirit of evil, darkness and destruction. As the archenemy of the sun god Ra, he was a malevolent force that could never be entirely defeated. Every night, as the sun passed through the underworld (or sky), its roar filled the air and it launched its attack.”

The NASA project aims to study how the solar eclipse, by causing a sudden decrease in sunlight, affects Earth's upper atmosphere.

A powerful new artificial intelligence tool can predict whether a person is ready to get vaccinated against COVID-19. The system integrates the mathematics of human judgment with machine learning to predict vaccine hesitancy. The predictive system uses a small data set from demographics and personal judgments such as risk or loss aversion.

The findings frame a new technology that could have broad applications for predicting mental health and leading to more effective public health campaigns.

A team led by researchers from the University of Cincinnati and Northwestern University created a predictive model using an integrated system of mathematical equations describing legal patterns of reward and aversion judgment using machine learning.

“We used a small number of variables and minimal computational resources to make predictions,” said lead author Nicole Vike, a senior research associate in UC's College of Engineering and Applied Sciences.

“COVID-19 is unlikely to be the last pandemic we see for decades to come. Having a new form of artificial intelligence for public health prediction is a valuable tool that could help prepare hospitals to predict vaccination rates and subsequent infection rates. »

The study was published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research Public Health and Surveillance.

Researchers surveyed 3 adults across the United States in 476 during the COVID-2021 pandemic. At the time of the survey, the first vaccines had been available for more than a year.

Respondents provided information such as their location, income, highest level of education completed, ethnicity and internet access. The demographics of those surveyed mirrored those of the United States, according to figures from the U.S. Census Bureau. Participants were asked if they had received any of the available COVID-19 vaccines. About 73% of those surveyed said they had been vaccinated, slightly more than the 70% of the national population who were vaccinated in 2021.

Additionally, they were asked if they consistently followed four recommendations intended to prevent the spread of the virus: wearing a mask, maintaining social distancing, washing hands and not gathering in large groups.

Participants were asked to rate how much they liked or disliked a set of 48 randomly sequenced images on a seven-point scale from 3 to -3. The images were from the International Affective Picture Set, a large set of emotionally evocative color photographs, divided into six categories: sports, disasters, cute animals, aggressive animals, nature and food.

Vike said the goal of this exercise is to quantify the mathematical characteristics of people's judgments when they observe mildly emotional stimuli. Measures for this task include concepts familiar to behavioral economists—or even gamblers—such as risk aversion (the extent to which someone is willing to accept a potential loss for a potential reward) and risk aversion. loss. This is the desire to avoid risks, for example by taking out insurance.

“It can work very simply. It does not require super computing, is inexpensive, and can be applied to anyone with a smartphone. We call it Computational Cognitive AI. It is likely that you will see further requests for judgment changes in the very near future. »

On Monday, the journal Cureus retracted the first peer-reviewed paper that presented an in-depth analysis of Covid-19 mRNA vaccine trial data and post-injection injury. The authors of the article also called for a global moratorium on vaccines.

On Monday, the journal Cureus retracted the first peer-reviewed paper that presented an in-depth analysis of Covid-19 mRNA vaccine trial data and post-injection injury. The authors of the article also called for a global moratorium on vaccines.

Dr. Peter McCullough, one of the authors of the article, called the retraction “a stunning act of scientific censorship.” He told the Defender:

“The journal and its editors had the right to reject the article at any time during the review process. Once published, retraction of an article without adequate justification constitutes a violation of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines.”

The document, published last month, describes in detail the serious potential harms of vaccines, problems in vaccine control and treatment, the mechanisms behind adverse reactions, the immunological reasons for vaccine ineffectiveness and the mortality data from registration trials.

The authors of the article concluded:

“The federal agency's approval of Covid-19 mRNA injectable products based on general population coverage was not supported by an honest assessment of all relevant registration data and by a proportional consideration of risks compared to benefits.

They also demanded that the vaccines be immediately removed from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) childhood immunization schedule and that booster shots be suspended.

The document was read more than 350 times in the month following its publication. The average Cureus article is only viewed about 000 times in an entire year.

McCullough said Tim Kersjes, head of research integrity at Springer Nature, which publishes Cureus, informed the authors last week that the journal was retracting the paper. Mr Kersjes raised eight points of concern, which Mr McCullough said the authors had already addressed through an exhaustive peer review process.

Dr McCullough told the Defender:

“I suspect Kersjes and Springer Nature were pressured by the powerful bio-pharmaceutical complex, made up of coordinated public health organizations, vaccine manufacturers and regulators, to censor our article in order to prevent the medical community from obtaining crucial information about vaccine safety.

“We have rejected the retraction, we have appealed, and we will report this unethical action to all relevant authorities, while continuing to publish elsewhere.”

Mr Nathaniel Mead, the lead author of the article, told the Defender that he had feared from day one that the journal would come under pressure to retract the article.

I knew as soon as I hit the “publish” button on Cureus on January 24, following an extensive review process and multiple resubmissions, that we were dealing with a ticking time bomb.” , Mr. Mead said.

“By citing strong evidence and exposing how industry-sponsored trials misled the public, our evidence-based article was a true indictment of the COVID-19 vaccine company.”

“Predatory Retractions” Benefit Big Pharma

John Adler of Stanford University and Alexander Muacevic of the University of Munich founded Cureus in 2009. It is an open-access, peer-reviewed online general medical journal with Publication costs are low.

Academic publishing giant Springer Nature acquired Cureus in December 2022.

Springer Nature is a publishing conglomerate founded in 2015 through the merger of Nature Publishing Group, Palgrave Macmillian, Macmillan Education and Springer Science+Business Media.

The publisher generated €1,8 billion in 2022, showing continued year-on-year growth since 2020.

Springer Nature has an internal research integrity group responsible for ensuring that the company's scientific content is “rigorously evaluated”. When questions arise that require the intervention of “research integrity experts,” the resolution team, led by Mr. Kersjes, steps in.

On February 16, Mr. Kersjes informed the authors that the journal's editors planned to retract the article, saying that the journal “had recently been informed of several concerns regarding the validity of the work.”

According to the text of the email, posted on Substack by Steve Kirsch, another of the paper's co-authors, these concerns “cannot, in our opinion, be resolved by a correction.”

Mr. Kersjes told the authors that they had the option to accept or decline the retraction, which would be indicated on the website.

They did not agree. “We vigorously reject this arbitrary and capricious decision, taken after the fact, on the part of Mr. Kersjes and his superiors at Springer,” they wrote.

Mr. Kersjes' letter raises concerns about the authors' claims about all-cause mortality data, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), the number of deaths due to vaccination compared to number of lives saved, the possibility of vaccine contamination, the claim that vaccines have not been adequately tested for safety and effectiveness, the “incorrect” statement that spike proteins remain in the body and can have harmful effects and that vaccines are gene therapy products.

In their rebuttal, the authors responded to each criticism by explaining their argument and providing supporting quotes. They noted that the paper's eight reviewers and the journal's editors found their responses satisfactory.

A few days after the initial publication, Mr. Adler, who is the editor-in-chief of Cureus, told the industry-friendly website Retraction Watch: “Our editorial response has been increased vigilance during the publication process. peer review, with 8 different reviewers weighing in on whether to publish, including a few with strong statistical backgrounds. Therefore, a credible peer review process was followed and the consequences fell as they should.

Mr Adler also said the journal would re-evaluate if “fatal flaws” were identified. “Cureus' decision-making process contrasts sharply with Elsevier's editorial decision to censor the article using ad hominem arguments.

However, a Cereus spokesperson told the Defender today: “Following publication, concerns were raised regarding a number of claims made in the article and an investigation by Cureus and the Springer team Nature's Research Integrity Charge identified several issues with the article that warranted a retraction”.

The spokesperson added: “It is preferable for such issues to be detected during peer review, but this is unfortunately not always the case. It is therefore important, as happened in this case, that when issues are raised after publication, they are addressed promptly in order to preserve the integrity of the academic record.”

The authors say in their rebuttal that most of the concerns “appear to be adapted, directly or indirectly, from the many comments made by well-known vaccine industry trolls on social media, Jonathan Laxton and Matthew Dopler,” who have frequently commented on the article on the Cureus website.

Will the next comet visible to the naked eye in France be the “devil’s comet”? It's still a little early to say. There is, however, hope with this specimen, whose brightness could make it visible without an instrument in the sky of March or April 2024.

The measurement of magnitude is used to describe the apparent brightness of a star. The brighter the object, the lower its magnitude. The naked eye's limiting magnitude is 6; that of the full Moon, -12,6.

From its official name 12P/Pons-Brooks, this comet could reach an apparent magnitude of 7,1 up to 5,2 throughout the month of March, indicated BBC Sky at Night on February 19. If the comet's magnitude changes as this prediction indicates, it would mean that its brightness would be very close to what the naked eye can perceive. The comet's perihelion, that is to say the moment when it will be closest to the Sun on its trajectory, is scheduled for April 21.

Already, astrophotographers have begun to hunt this beautiful comet and publish their images of its greenish hair and its bluish tail.
The Devil's Comet, observed for centuries by astronomers

Why is it nicknamed “devil’s comet”? In July, 12P/Pons-Brooks expelled a lot of gas and dust, suddenly becoming brighter. This explosion distorted the comet's hair, with a dark center and two brighter tips, giving the impression that it had horns (like those of a devil). Then, scientists found that this behavior was not so rare for 12P/Pons-Brooks, who has already experienced this kind of episodes.

Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks is well known to astronomers: its first observations date back to the 14th century. The history of this comet is rich. In 1812, the French astronomer Jean-Louis Pons discovered the comet using his telescope in Marseille. Then, in 1883, the American astronomer William Robert Brooks in turn rediscovered the comet. The celestial object therefore took the name of its two discoverers. Further observations by scientists made it possible to make the link between the recent appearances of 12P/Pons-Brooks and observations made in 1385 and 1457, corresponding well to this object.

It is a Halley-type comet, in reference to the most famous of all comets. This category includes comets whose orbital period is between 20 and 200 years. For 12P/Pons-Brooks, this period is approximately 71 years. The comet has therefore already had multiple opportunities to venture into the inner solar system.

It is always very difficult to predict with certainty whether a comet will become clearly visible to the naked eye. They are very unpredictable celestial objects, which can behave in surprising ways as they approach the Sun. After its passage in the terrestrial neighborhood in 2021, comet Leonard disintegrated – a few lucky people were able to see it with their own eyes before this disastrous outcome.

Mattia Madonia, writer from Catania and representative of the millennial generation, discovered the reasons for the crisis of an immobile society (which is in fact heading, and rapidly, towards decline) which does not grant spaces and perspectives to those who are not part of the baby boom generation.

"The entire generation," writes Madonia in The Vision, "that was supposed to lead the fortunes of the planet during these twenty-four years, roughly those born between the early 1980s and the mid-1990s, suffered of its own "bug". Compared to previous generations, society has hindered or prevented their professional, relational, emotional, even existential balance. A ghost generation, crushed by the pressures of capitalism and the crises which have marked the last two decades. “It’s the Millennial Bug, and we’re still paying the consequences.”

This is all true, of course. But someone – his father and mother, for example, if he is lucky enough to still have them – would have to explain to him that previous generations won their rights. And since he is a writer, Madonia could read the books of other older authors (the press already existed) who told 68 or 77. Change was not given, but obtained with clashes, protests, deaths even.

Good Italian families of the early 60s would have wanted polite and well-groomed children, with suits and ties, good studies and secure and orderly professional careers. Happy marriages and grandchildren to raise in accordance with principles. It didn't happen that way, and maybe it went wrong. But the generations who occupied the places that mattered and excluded “existential balance” did not lie on the couch waiting for concessions that they had not even asked for. They may not have had smartphones or tablets, but they lived with their peers and it was with their peers that they rebelled. A strange word, “rebellion”. Perhaps it is one of those that is no longer among the few that new young people know. Replaced by whining, rudeness, resignation.

"71% of millennials surveyed in Italy do not believe in the possibility of starting a family and 73", Madonia continues, consider that it is impossible to buy a house in the immediate future. In addition, 79% of millennials consider that flexibility of work is fundamental, with the possibility of working remotely and with less rigid schedules, even declaring themselves ready to leave their job to find work on a human scale. Among the various requests made, the four-day working week. stands out To conclude the study, 42% of millennials consider themselves very “anxious and stressed”, and as concerns for the future, they place fears about their mental health, climate change and damages at the top of the list. caused to the environment, the cost of living and unemployment.

It's good, it's bad. Everyone is aware of the problems. And even their own fears and desires. So what ? Do mom and dad need to find solutions? Maybe the grandparents? However, millennials should now be able to wipe their butts on their own. They should be able to dress themselves. And if they want something, they should have the courage and ability to take it. Particularly because baby boomers are old and helpless. But the risk for millennials is that, while they wallow in the pain of the injustice they suffered, Generation Z will replace the elderly. On the other hand, the resistance of boomers in places of power comes up against age and the end of life...

The latest leak, published for the first time by the site Context, is a working document from the current Belgian presidency of the EU which concerns a draft methodology and criteria for the categorization of risks of services.

Things are moving quickly in Brussels, at least on this issue – the draft was published on April 10 for member state delegations and was to be discussed five days later by the law enforcement working group .

But according to Patrick Breyer, MEP and long-time opponent of “control of conversations”, things are moving in the direction of a “redoublement”, by various means, of the control and/or suppression of what he calls “ services that allow people to protect themselves.”

These would be privacy-focused encrypted services and messaging apps that, according to the methodology presented in the paper, would receive lower scores on the risk scale if people can use them without an account or with pseudonyms, VPNs, TOR, encryption, cryptocurrencies – in other words, in ways that make surveillance and tracking difficult or even impossible.

The EU does not like this at all and therefore plans to be able (and even likely) to order those who perform poorly to scan all content.

However, those who do not focus on private discussions but "engage primarily in public communication" (i.e. are already open to surveillance and data collection, so that the detection orders leading to a full scan are not really necessary) will get better results.

The EU's logic is consistent here, since those who do not collect user data are automatically doomed to lower ratings. The EU also does not like decentralized content sharing (like P2P platforms).

Indeed, as Breyer, a German lawyer and member of the Pirate Party, points out, P2P makes attempts to analyze server sites useless.

Such methodology demonizes services such as torrenting platforms (P2P), TOR, ProtonMail, etc.

“This document reveals that the EU government is pushing for mass surveillance and undermining encryption of essential services for citizens, NGOs, lawyers, etc.

In contrast, the European Parliament's approach would only allow the interception of people's conversations related to child sexual abuse, while imposing many more security measures that the Council only mentions in this document without making them known. mandatory,” added Breyer before concluding: “We, the Pirates, will not stop fighting to make security services accessible to all:

“We, the Pirates, will not stop fighting for our fundamental right to digital privacy and secure encryption.

It was at the end of his show “J'ai fait l'con” in 2008 that Dieudonné performed for the first time this poem dedicated to Palestine while paying tribute to his friend Claude Nougaro who died in 2004. In these times of conflict , it was impossible not to overlook this poignant tribute from the most talented comedian of his generation. In a different register, he reminds us here of the suffering of a desperate people.

Hamid is 22 years old and he decides to go blow himself up among those he considers to be the invaders.

I was born here on this edge of the Mediterranean In this sunny paradise Palestine! Palestine! This is where my father, my grandfather and all those before them are buried In the flesh of your land, Palestine! It's in the ruined house over there in the middle of the olive field It's there that we sang, laughed, danced, even vibrated Like the strings of this gypsy guitar Plucked in the heart, picked like flowers It's that's when we cried too, cried It's hard to explain why we're attached to a place Until an army showed up at your house At first, they shot in the air, it made noise, it was nice And then they killed my father, and then my uncle, and then my brother Burned the house, destroyed gardens and plantations to install their settlers We, women and children deported to this refugee camp Dirty, cold , we were crowded there. Alone in the distance, the sound of this gypsy guitar still gave me the strength to resist The strength to breathe Melody of travelers, music of the uprooted, it made me forget the evil I was 10 years old, it's been 12 years and here I am now a bomb taped to the can Sucked into this large siphon. Freedom for you Palestine! I'm going to make you dance, happy settlers, to the sound of my cannon Today I am a conductor adjusting my note to that of time This gypsy time on which I still twirl like a happy butterfly I am arriving, I am arriving shivering destiny Tel a cymbal crash punctuating the violins And my Palestine! Do you see me getting off the bus in the middle of all these stares?! There is my heart, there is fear, there is this sound of guitar Anonymous passing I smile at the child and then in the middle of the street I see you beautiful stranger It's you, I chose you, will I take you by the waist and make our insides dance? From here I hear the cries of fear tearing the silence caused by this finger There is my breathing accelerating, lack of oxygen, your gaze staring at me You understand, your bag falling, the apple rolling To move back ? It's too late, little one. My finger is tensing. Since we both can't live: Let's die together. Palestine!

In 2023, almost half (49,6%) of all internet traffic came from bots, a 2% increase from the previous year, and the highest level reported by Imperva since the company began its traffic monitoring in 2013.

While the proportion of human user traffic fell to 50,4%, that of malicious bots increased for the fifth year in a row, from 30,2% in 2022 to 32% in 2023. This automated traffic costs businesses billion dollars each year due to attacks on websites, APIs and applications.

Key trends identified in the Imperva Bad Bot 2024 report include:

Global average for malicious bot traffic reached 32%: Ireland (71%), Germany (67,5%) and Mexico (42,8%) recorded the highest levels of bot traffic malware in 2023. The United States also recorded a slightly higher ratio (35,4%) compared to 2022 (32,1%).
The growing use of generative AI is linked to the increase in the number of simple bots: the rapid adoption of generative AI and large language models (LLM) has led to an increase in the volume of simple bots, passing from 33,4% in 2022 to 39,6% in 2023. The technology uses online automated data extraction bots and automated web crawlers 2 to power the training models and allows users without technical knowledge to write automated scripts for their own use.
User account takeover is a persistent risk for businesses: account takeover attacks (ATO) increased by 10% in 2023 compared to the previous year. Additionally, 44% of all ATO attacks targeted API endpoints, up from 35% in 2022. Of all internet login attempts, 11% were associated with a user account hijacking attempt. In 2023, the industries experiencing the highest number of these attacks were financial services (36,8%), travel (11,5%), and business services (8%).
APIs represent a prime vector for attacks: automated threats caused 30% of API attacks in 2023. Of these, 17% were malicious bots exploiting business logic vulnerabilities: a flaw in design and API implementation that allows attackers to manipulate legitimate functionality to gain access to sensitive data or user accounts. Because they provide direct access to this sensitive data, APIs are a prime target for cybercriminals who use automated bots to find and exploit them.
Every industry is affected by bots: for the second year in a row, the gaming industry (57,2%) recorded the highest proportion of harmful bot traffic. At the same time, retail (24,4%), travel (20,7%) and financial services (15,7%) suffered the highest number of bot attacks. The proportion of advanced malicious bots, capable of imitating human behavior and evading defense systems, was highest on legal and government business sites (75,8%), entertainment (70,8%) and financial services (67,1%).
Malbot traffic from residential Internet Service Providers (ISPs) increases to 25,8%: Early evasion techniques for malicious bots involved impersonating a user internet browser commonly used by real human users . These bots accounted for 44,8% of all malicious bot traffic over the past year, up from 28,1% just five years ago. Advanced players combine mobile user agents with the use of residential or mobile ISPs. Residential proxies allow bot operators to evade detection by making the origin of traffic appear to be a legitimate residential IP address assigned by an Internet service provider.

The devil is the confusionist par excellence, the one who constantly creates confusion. The Greek word “diabolos” means nothing else. The lie is therefore what is particularly diabolical. He sows discord, sets men against each other, disrupts the natural order. In the Gospel of John 8:44, the devil is rightly called the “father of lies”.

In Germany, lying has become even more lawful in recent weeks. More specifically, it has become a state religion that demands submission. Indeed, since Friday, when the Bundestag adopted the so-called "self-determination" law, all people living in Germany are now required by law to believe the blatant lies, to take them as true, or at least to keep quiet about them.

Anyone who nevertheless opens their mouth and rightly points out that Gabriele is actually called Hans-Günther, risks paying a fine of up to 10 euros if they now call a person by their biological sex then that he/she wants to be “perceived” differently. Thanks to the law, it will no longer be necessary to undergo sex change surgery and have the change officially certified. Offices are required by law to assist in the falsification of documents. And everyone else is forced to live in and with the lie and evade it.

It's satanic. Since a Friday in April, we have taken a good step forward in the construction of an evil and unnatural world, the basis of which is falsity. The criminalization of truth has now been publicly enthroned and is knocking on everyone's door. And since evil, to maintain itself, cannot stop, but must always go further, submit to ever wider areas, this is only the beginning.

You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist for this: it is now explicit that what is "normal", natural, right for life, is officially declared criminal and prosecuted as such, it is that is to say: heterosexuality, the family, the offspring, the people. Evil becomes totalitarian. The biblical image is the reign of the Antichrist, which must necessarily precede the final victory of good. We will be amazed at what will follow, with increasing frequency. The coronaviresque dictatorship was the dress rehearsal. There will soon be martyrs.

It is certainly no coincidence that the European Parliament has asked these days, in a resolution adopted by a large majority, that the right to abortion be declared a fundamental right (!). The openly totalitarian legislation on “hate speech” in many Western countries, which sometimes provides for prison sentences of several years for crimes of opinion (in the name of “tolerance”!), also falls into this area; just like the fact that the Federal Constitutional Court, the highest legal body of the Federal Republic, attempts to define the notion of natural, that is to say ethnic, people as "contrary to the Basic Law", both in the procedure of banning the NPD than now vis-à-vis the AfD – all freely inspired by Orwell war is peace, freedom is slavery, death is is life. It's perverse. It is the dictatorship of lies.

We must take note of the internal dynamic of evolution, which is not human, but ultimately spiritual: evil versus good. This is why it is not the expression of a personal belief, but the adequate description of what is happening, to introduce the devil into the game, as the fundamental cosmic adversary. He drops his mask. This is seen in all areas of life. Apocalypse – the period we are currently experiencing – means nothing other than revelation.

The good news in all of this is that Satan does not have the last word. The lie, which forms a false idea of ​​the world, is no more viable than cancer. The Federal Republic of Germany was founded on lies from the beginning, and lies now become essential to the sham that is the German federal state. This is why this republic is soon coming to an end. The “law on self-determination” and all the aberrations to come are the indispensable stigmata.

In his work "Free response to Michel Onfray "No, Christ is not a myth", the young philosopher Matthieu Lavagna refutes the theory of the atheist author Michel Onfray according to which Jesus of Nazareth never existed. Matthieu Lavagna draws on numerous historical sources to prove the existence of Christ and addresses the most common arguments against Christianity.

Michel Onfray has defended for more than 25 years the idea that Jesus of Nazareth did not have a historical existence and that Christianity is a myth. However, Matthieu Lavagna explains that this theory is unfounded and that there are numerous sources, both Christian and non-Christian, which mention the existence of Christ in the first two centuries.

Among non-Christian sources, the young philosopher cites Flavius ​​Josephus, Tacitus, Suetonius, Lucian of Samosata, Pliny the Younger, Galen, the Babylonian Talmud, Celsus and Mara bar Serapion. In addition to these sources, there are also Christian sources, such as the Gospels, the Epistles of Paul, the Acts of the Apostles, and the Epistles of Peter and James, which mention the existence of Jesus.

Matthew Lavagna points out that even the Jews, who were the enemies of Christians, did not question the existence of Christ. He also explains that historical sources mentioning Jesus far outnumber those mentioning other historical figures of the time, such as Julius Caesar.

One topic that will come up quickly is that of work. Everyone easily imagines the fact that AI, by automating many tasks, will reduce the number of jobs. This is true and predictable. But that's not the main problem.

The main problem with the negative effects on employment of AI will actually concern young people. Those who are starting out.

Traditionally, when a young person starts, whatever their “diplomas” and other parchments more or less demonetized by a distressing educational level, they know how to do nothing or very little. Obviously, having been young too, old age being an illness that arrives so quickly, I would have told you “admittedly” that I knew how to do everything or almost everything! With age and experience we know that when we were young we didn't know much in the end, but this is the classic life path of every human being, our "learning" curve.

Young people therefore start with simple tasks, often a little repetitive, and not too technical. And then gradually they acquire this experience and this essential maturity which allows them to go further and further, to do more and more complex things. By automating all the simple tasks, there will be no more space, no more tasks to complete and will allow the youngest to be trained gradually. This may seem trivial, yet it is THE main problem that AI will pose to us. By preventing the training of young people, this will prevent their progress. AI will therefore likely accelerate the destruction of human intellectual capabilities at a speed never seen before. Add to that stupid networks like Tik-Tok and “short” videos and you have weapons of mass destruction of human intelligence and our creativity.

This leads me to my final AI experiment that I wanted to share with you.

Satan seen by men and seen by AI Chat GPT.

I was deliberately short in the “prompt” (the script or request) sent to Chat-GPT. My request was as follows.

“Can you generate two images for me. The first would be that of Satan evil seen by men according to what they imagine on average and the second how you would see Satan. »

Normally, the two images should substantially coincide if the same system of values ​​has been integrated into the AI ​​system which remains a “machine” programmed by humans.

However, factually, the image of Satan according to men and that according to AI do not correspond.

In one case we have Satan who is “evil”.

In the second image, Satan seen by the AI... things are much less negative. Satan is almost “sympathetic”.

I would like to know how the notion of good and evil was integrated into AI.

You see, AI is far too important a thing to be left in the hands of a few apprentice sorcerers who all have their own ideology, mysticism or relationship to good or evil.

The questions that should be ours are in reality dizzying, and our national representation has no awareness of the need to do philosophy to do politics. Do not hesitate to share this article with your MPs, again to stimulate and fuel their thoughts.

France is experiencing a significant increase in baptisms among young people, with a 31% increase in catechumens compared to last year. Discover how the Catholic Church responds to this spiritual thirst among young French people.

The Catholic Church in France is experiencing a significant increase in baptisms among adults and adolescents. According to a survey by the Conference of Bishops of France (CEF), the number of catechumens increased by 31% compared to last year, with 7 applicants for baptism. This trend is not a simple rebound effect after Covid, but rather a spiritual thirst among young people.

Young people aged 18 to 25 now represent 36% of newly baptized people, while among adolescents between 11 and 17 years old, the survey recorded 5 baptisms in 025 dioceses, an increase of 68% on average. This vitality is illustrated by the presence of 50 young French people at the last World Youth Day (WYD) in Lisbon.

The president of the CEF, Éric de Moulins-Beaufort, emphasizes that in his diocese of Reims, catechumens have increased from 20 to 73 in five years. However, he questions the ability of the Church to support all these newcomers in a society where 80% of young people have not received religious education.

The CEF also observes a significant increase in baptized people from families without religion, or a quarter of the total. This trend shows that France is moving away from secularism where the Church is mistreated to join the cross of Christ.

Covid was decisive in pushing citizens towards the Church. Western democracy no longer inspires young people's dreams and the lack of reference points in a society dominated by wokism remains too destabilizing. As was the case with Russia which found its faith after the USSR, French youth are returning to their Christian roots to find answers to their existential questions. The holy spirit is at work!

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government, controlled by the World Economic Forum, plans to outlaw Christianity, with Bible reading and prayer considered "hate speech", a "crime" punishable by a prison sentence.

Under the leadership of Trudeau, a young global leader of the WEF, the government is introducing an amendment to the Penal Code that could see believers sentenced to prison for expressing the historic teachings of Christianity.

Bill C-367 will make it illegal to repeat parts of the Bible.

By removing the “good faith” defense, the government will be able to prosecute Christians for what it considers “hate speech.”

Traditional Christian practices, such as celebrating Christmas or attending a religious service, will be considered crimes punishable by severe penalties.

The proposed amendment seeks to remove the provision that allows individuals to defend themselves by claiming that they sincerely believe and are merely expressing religious teaching already present in Scripture.

This means that invoking religious beliefs to justify words or actions that the state considers to be “heresy” will no longer be accepted as a valid defense under the law.

The bill states the following:

“The text modifies the penal code in order to eliminate as a means of defense against voluntary incitement to hatred or anti-Semitism the fact that a person, in good faith, has expressed or attempted to establish by an argument a religious opinion or subject or an opinion based on a belief in a religious text.

Black sequence.

In the name of productivity, a sense of belonging or better collaboration between teams, many companies are starting to tighten the screws on teleworking and demand a broader return to the office for employees, sometimes even completely.

This is the case at Groupama Immobilier, where employees have returned to the office to work every day since November 14. The insurer's real estate subsidiary is testing this return to the world before the Covid crisis for three months, after having established, like the majority of companies concerned, two days of teleworking per week. "We have a workforce of 130 employees, there are 30 who have joined the company since 2020 and who have never experienced 'full time' face-to-face work (100%, Editor's note)", explains to AFP the general director, Éric Donnet. “For them, it will be an experiment with what their colleagues have experienced in the past. They think we are dinosaurs! »

“What is at stake today is a big debate on the notion of productivity,” confirms Flore Pradère, director of office research and foresight at the corporate real estate specialist JLL, who conducted two studies at the on the international scale on the teleworking-office articulation. “At the start, we said to ourselves: tremendous time savings, (we will) optimize the space, people will be able to work more and perhaps we will save square meters. » From now on, “there is a little backpedaling, where we say to ourselves: what about transversality, the feeling of belonging, collaboration between teams and the capacity to innovate? “, she explains to AFP.

I can clearly see the difficulty for businesses and it is not just a question of “productivity”.

For example, the feeling of belonging has nothing to do with productivity. Quite the contrary. “belonging” takes time, and it costs a lot of money in seminars, restaurants and other “team-building” nonsense where you have to dance together, play table football and all the usual nonsense.

The idea is indoctrination and free thought...

Let us remember: on March 12, 2020, Mr. Macron announced the end of our fundamental freedoms of movement and assembly with the sentencing of an entire population to house arrest due to the circulation of a little-known respiratory virus, stopping the epidemic movement of Yellow Vests who were then banned from the streets.

From collective punishment to targeted repression for offenses of opinion, the people of France tasted even more of the totalitarian pleasures of a regime that only the historical privilege of “progress” separates from the banana republic. In the name of state health, it was the security ideology of zero risk that had to prevail, crushing in the process any critical requirement in favor of human dignity: the world was masked, confined, stung, ridiculously subjected to its masters wizards.

If the smartphone is the opium of the people – monopolizing hands and attention from a very young age – this period of liberticidal crisis will have enabled our leaders to ensure an accelerated virtualization of the world and human relationships, where the Teleworking became the norm, and telecombat a sad inevitability for the resistance fighters in yellow vests, thrown into a new society: that of hypercontrol and omnisurveillance.

What this authority fears above all is the independence of its citizens. The productive independence of craftsmen and small entrepreneurs, which multiple taxes and successive confinements must have brought to an end; and independence of thought, which the colonized media – promoters of commercial stupidity and cultural mediocrity – would end up criminalizing.

Now you have to dance to get a job.

It's literally, almost belly dancing in front of an employer.

All this is as absurd as it is revolting.

You must be recruited for your skills and this is precisely what the law says. The aim of any recruitment process must be to judge the candidate's skills.

On the one hand we are told about anonymous CVs without photos and on the other Pole Emploi makes its candidates dance.

All this is crazy and it is a form of submission that must be refused.
