Gaza - people subjected to genocide

VoltairenetNon-assistance to people in danger of genocide

Voltairenet - March 26, 2024

Hassan Hamade, intellectual personality of the Arab world, who played a leading role in the peace camp, screams his pain at the ethnic cleansing underway in Gaza.

   

For Voltaire Network readers, he calls for urgently saving the Palestinian people and finally resolving the Arab-Israeli problem. To resolve it on its merits, by proclaiming the equality of every man, whether Jewish or Arab.

There are truths even more murderous than all the plots which aim at the truth, especially in this terrible era where lies, terror and injustice reign. From now on, each of you could dare, if you wanted, to tell the truth without any fear of suffering the dreaded "guillotine" correction which is none other than the accusation of anti-Semitism and its painful consequences that may be on your person. professional life or on his family and social life; an accusation that we use and abuse.

This time the truth came out from where we least expected it and from a person who was never supposed to admit it: Israeli General Yitztshak Barik. Faithful to the practices inherent to his duties at the head of the internal security service, General Barik represented, in the eyes of the Palestinians, cruelty personified. It is the iron grip of the Zionist state entity in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. And yet it is him, the man through whom the surprise arrives.

Barik dares to justify the Palestinian attack of October 7, 2023, dares to recognize, implicitly and indirectly, the resistant vocation of the Hamas movement while attacking the leading duo of government Zionist extremism in the person of the Minister of Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and his Finance colleague, Bezalel Smotrich, whose influence on official decisions is preponderant and decisive.

It is these two ministers who imposed as the main priority in the action of the Israeli Executive the acceleration of the eradication of the Palestinian presence on the land of Palestine - first the areas occupied in 1967, followed by that occupied in 1948, that is to say the ethnic cleansing of the entire territory of historic Palestine, between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean coast; “From the river to the sea”, according to the famous song which became world famous thanks to the gigantic demonstrations against the genocide perpetrated in full view of all the inhabitants of planet Earth -

Building on his warlike performances in 1973, as evidenced by his wounds to his face and body, during the battles of Sinai, this general known for his outspokenness considers himself fully entitled to provide lessons for the younger generations of his people. guided straight towards the abyss by their current leaders whom they described as... “liars”.

In a recent interview given a few days ago to the English-speaking AI-Jazira channel, General Barik summarizes the state of affairs of the Palestinian population in general and Gazan in particular in very clear terms. :
— Barik: “They dream of freedom, but they cannot grasp it. Like it or not, we control the lives of millions [of them].”
— Al-Jazeera: “If you were Palestinian and lived in the West Bank or Gaza, how would you judge Israel? »
— Barik: “I would fight Israel to obtain my freedom.”
— Al-Jazeera: “How far would you go in your fight? ".
— Barik: “I would do anything to obtain my freedom.”

falling math level

InsolentiaeCollapse in the math level of French adolescents

Insolentiae – Dec 07, 2023

There is no developed, healthy and dynamic economy without security guaranteed to all and without massive education of the population.

   

To imagine for a single moment that uneducated imbeciles will become more intelligent with artificial intelligence when they will not have developed their natural intelligence is a huge mistake.

Wikipedia has not made people more cultured, even though culture has never been so accessible, as have all forms of knowledge.

Worse.

Believing that everything is available we lose the usefulness of learning and remembering since watching “YAKA” on the Internet.

Except, we can only watch what we know about, the rest being luck!

If you look a little into AI or how ChatGPT works, you will realize very quickly that AI is going to change the world exactly like the Internet changed the world.

The culture and knowledge of the masses have not gained! Far from it even.

The level has never dropped so much as since we have all the digital tools.

Digital tools are a huge moron factory and our collapse continues.

Israel - USA: the collapse

VoltairenetThe collapse of Israel and the United States

Voltairenet - Nov 19, 2023

For the first time, the world is witnessing a crime against humanity live, on television.

   

The United States and Israel, who have been together for a long time, will both be held responsible for the mass killings in Gaza. Everywhere, except in Europe, Washington's allies are withdrawing their ambassadors from Tel Aviv. Tomorrow they will do it in Washington. Everything is happening as during the dislocation of the USSR and will end in the same way: the American Empire is threatened in its existence. The process that has just begun cannot be stopped.

While we have our eyes fixed on the massacres of civilians in Israel and Gaza, we perceive neither the internal divisions in Israel and the USA, nor the considerable change that this tragedy is causing in the world. For the first time in history, civilians are being killed massively and live on television.

Everywhere — except in Europe — Jews and Arabs unite to cry out their pain and call for peace.
People everywhere realize that this genocide would not be possible if the United States did not supply bombs to the Israeli army in real time.
Everywhere, states are recalling their ambassadors to Tel Aviv and wondering whether they should recall those they sent to Washington.

It goes without saying that the United States only reluctantly accepted this spectacle, but it did not just allow it, it made it possible with subsidies and weapons. They are afraid of losing their Power after their defeat in Syria, their defeat in Ukraine and perhaps soon their defeat in Palestine. Indeed, if the armies of the Empire no longer fear, who will continue to carry out transactions in dollars instead of their own currency? And in this eventuality, how will Washington make others pay for what it spends, how will the United States maintain its standard of living?

But what will happen at the end of this story? That the Middle East revolts or that Israel crushes Hamas at the cost of thousands of lives?

We will remember that President Joe Biden had first called on Israel to abandon its plan to move towards Egypt or, failing that, to eradicate the Palestinian people from the face of the Earth, and that Tel Aviv did not not obeyed.

“Jewish supremacists” behave today like they did in 1948.
When the United Nations voted to create two federated states in Palestine, one Hebrew and one Arab, the armed forces self-proclaimed the Jewish state before its borders had been established. The “Jewish supremacists” immediately expelled millions of Palestinians from their homes (the “Nakhba”) and assassinated the UN special representative who had come to create a Palestinian state. The seven Arab armies (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and North Yemen) that attempted to oppose them were quickly swept away.
Today, they no longer obey their protectors and massacre again, without realizing that, this time, the world is watching them and that no one will come to their aid. At the moment when the Shiites admit the principle of a Hebrew State, their madness endangers the existence of this State.

We remember how the Soviet Union collapsed. The state had not been able to protect its own population during a catastrophic accident. 4 Soviets died at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (000), saving their fellow citizens. The survivors then asked themselves why they continued to accept, 1986 years after the October Revolution, an authoritarian regime. The First Secretary of the CPSU, Mikhail Gorbachev, wrote that it was when he saw this disaster that he understood that his regime was threatened.
Then there were the December riots in Kazakhstan, the independence demonstrations in the Baltic countries and Armenia. Gorbachev amended the Constitution to remove the old guard from the Party. But his reforms were not enough to stop the fire which spread to Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus. The uprising of East German Young Communists against the Brezhnev Doctrine led to the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989). The crumbling of power in Moscow led to the cessation of aid to the allies, including Cuba (1990). Finally there was the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact and the tearing up of the Union (1991). In just over 5 years, an Empire that everyone thought would be eternal collapsed on itself.

This inevitable process has just begun for the “American Empire”. The question is not how far Benjamin Netanyahu's "revisionist Zionists" will go, but how far the US imperialists will support them. At what point will Washington consider that it has more to lose by letting Palestinian civilians be massacred than by correcting Israeli leaders?

The same problem arises for him in Ukraine. The military counter-offensive by Volodymyr Zelensky's government has failed. From now on, Russia no longer seeks to destroy Ukrainian weapons, which are immediately replaced by weapons offered by Washington, but to kill those who wield them. The Russian armies behave like a gigantic grinding machine that slowly and inexorably kills all Ukrainian soldiers who approach the Russian defense lines. kyiv is no longer able to mobilize fighters and its soldiers refuse to obey orders which condemn them to certain death. His officers have no choice but to shoot the pacifists.

Many US, Ukrainian and Israeli leaders are already talking about replacing the Ukrainian “integral nationalist” coalition and the “Jewish supremacist” coalition, but the war period does not lend itself to this. However, it will have to be done.

President Joe Biden must replace his Ukrainian puppet and his barbaric Israeli allies, just as Prime Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev had to replace his callous representative in Khazakhstan, paving the way for widespread protest against corrupt leaders. When Zelensky and Netanyahu are removed, everyone will know that it is possible to obtain the head of a Washington representative and each of them will know that they must flee before being sacrificed.

This process is not only inevitable, it is inexorable. President Joe Biden can just do everything in his power to slow it down, to make it last, not to stop it.

Macron's clown

hashtableFeeling of wealth and security in democratic Clownistan

Hashtable – Oct 29, 2023

While the whole world holds its breath watching the Middle East descend into war, French Democratic Clownistan is looking at its navel and falling dizzyingly in love.

   

And what better way to reassure yourself and congratulate yourself with a slightly obscene gluttony than to greedily give yourself excellent marks and gleaming economic indicators? In any case, this is the impression, sorry, the feeling that we can get when we learn through an article in Les Echos of a new wealth indicator, produced by the indescribable INSEE and which aims to correct the gap between the progression of the gross domestic product and that of the standard of living, “by promoting the monetary dimension of national well-being based on information on the diffusion of growth within the population and survey data relating to satisfaction in household life”.

National well-being, spread of growth, felt wealth, sniff, sniff, no doubt, it smells a bit like a joke.

And when we discover that with the introduction of this new bidulotronesque indicator, France moves to the top level in the world, there is no longer room for doubt. In essence, by skilfully twisting certain statistics and introducing the “average level of satisfaction” (imagine the diabolical precision of the concept), we manage to show that the French certainly have neither oil nor ideas, but that they are quite blandly content with their situation.

This is all the more gratifying since all this is calibrated on GDP, that is to say an indicator itself renowned for being of dubious reliability, especially since smart guys have previously introduced coke and whores drug trafficking and prostitution, undoubtedly considering it a shame not to integrate the wealth generated by these juicy markets and which will probably allow countries like Colombia or Ukraine to hold an envied rank in the concert of nations...

This grotesque tinkering, which mobilizes a few statisticians within INSEE and must dismay a lot of serious economists, nevertheless allows, by thus enhancing the general image of the country, to justify a little all the interventionism of the State which will result in new compulsory deductions, currently above 48% of GDP (i.e. 120% in perceived deductions or not far).

Tenebrae Choir

   

The Miserere or Miserere mei, Deus, according to the incipit of Psalm 50, is a work of polyphony composed around 1638 for the choir of the Sistine Chapel by Gregorio Allegri, chaplain to Pope Urban VIII.

The work is a good illustration of the remarks made by the pianist Étienne Guéreau in his capsule on the collapse of the musical level.

musical collapse

Equality and ReconciliationFrom the progressive collapse of the musical level

Equality and Reconciliation - May 08, 2023

When a real, competent musician takes a look at decades of musical production – here through the credits of James Bond – it is clear that the level collapses. (4th capsule below).

   

Some date the "end" of music to the early 70s (we will listen to Alain Soral's "music lover" video in reference to Kontre Kulture), others less severe will add one or two decades to make it end in the 90's'. Of course, whatever the periods chosen, everyone will agree that pearls appear here and there, without however calling into question the fact that in general music has nothing more to say.

This statement will probably make people scream. But let's think about it: can we infinitely create something new with a finished material? The twelve semitones of our scale, even if they allow many other things than the major and minor scales (think of the different modes Lydian, Phrygian, Myxolydian, etc.), only offer limited creativity, d all the more so if we restrict ourselves to tonal music. The well-tempered keyboard has a restrained temperament!

bank fragility

InsolentiaeBanks are all fragile according to one of Switzerland's leading economists

Insolentiae – March 23, 2023

The Credit Suisse debacle illustrates the importance of customer confidence, it also recalls the inherent vulnerability of deposit banks, recalls Charles Wyplosz, economist at the Graduate Institute of Geneva and who is also the founder of the SNB Observatory, the Swiss National Bank which is the central bank of our Swiss friends.

   

What Charles Wyplosz has just said was said in the leading Swiss daily Le Temps.

Of course, banks are fragile, structurally in reality.

It's the very economic model of the banks that makes them fragile, and not just the greed of bad bankers or bad capitalists!

By definition, genetically, a bank of deposits recovers and collects the deposits of some to make credits to others. This is the profession, which is particularly fascinating, moreover, of the banker and personally I have taken great pleasure as a banker in financing companies, activities, investments and activities that benefit the greatest number.

By definition, the bank never, ever has all the money corresponding to the deposits of its customers. It uses almost everything… minus the 10 to 12% reserves!

By definition, if all customers want to recover their money at the same time, no bank has the means to meet this immediate need for cash. NONE.

By definition, whatever the regulation put in place, no bank can reimburse all deposits in a few days and NEVER a bank will be able to do so.

So when we tell you that the banks are solid, we say nonsense, because the truth, the reality, the economic model itself of the banks means that they are genetically fragile.

It's neither good nor bad.

birth rate crash

The strategist's letterINSEE confirms the collapse of the birth rate since the start of vaccination

The mail from the strategists - 03 Dec 2022

In 2022, the birth rate is experiencing a historic drop, with figures never before known.

   

This trend, which began to assert itself in June 2022, that is to say 9 months after the 85% vaccination rate in the population was reached, has become catastrophic since August, it is ie since the first effects of the third dose. For the moment, INSEE does not give any explanation for this worrying air pocket for the demographic future of the country.

live without electricity - zombie apocalypse

Réseau InternationalZombie apocalypse

International Network - Nov 26, 2022

It's been a few years since I thought about what would happen in the Paris region if we were completely deprived of electricity for more than three days.

   

Well, the twelve million inhabitants of the region would have to be evacuated. Because no electricity means no running water, no petrol in service stations (tanks are buried, and pumps are electric), supermarkets (3 days reserve) not supplied, hospitals ditto etc After three days maximum, you have to start living on your reserves, or else have a well-stocked base somewhere, and the means to get there.

No telephone (cell towers run on electricity), no internet, no TV or radio either, except shortwave radio, but who has a shortwave radio? I tell you not to panic. Zombie apocalypse live.

However, the worst is not always certain. Rather, I see an economic collapse, less dramatic but with the same end result.

Z like Zorro

Réseau InternationalZ like Zorro

International Network - 04 Sep 2022

The collapse of the EU was never a question of “if”, but only of “when”.

   

The breaking down of the Brussels yoke of unelected bureaucrats has long been visible and its collapse was predicted years ago. First there was Grexit (which was averted at the last moment at enormous cost), then Brexit, which actually happened, and then an alphabetical jungle of Frexit, Italexit, Nexit, Dexit, Polexit, etc Today, the question is: after the United Kingdom, who will be next? A popular choice is Hungary. But who knows? Apart from the UK, a country struggling with imbecility issues, three EU countries, Bulgaria, Estonia and Italy, are already experiencing political turmoil.

Everything suggests that this is only the “beginning of the problems”. Winter is coming to Europe on December 1 with likely food riots, looting and mass civil disobedience, sparked by the unwillingness and inability to pay energy bills that soar due to the refusal of the European millionaire elite to buy Russian gas. The only way out is for the European countries to free themselves from the chains of the USA to regain their natural place as part of the Eurasian, or rather Afro-Eurasian, world. This release deserves a sign. There is no sign more current – ​​or more indigenous to the western world – than the “Z” sign.
