Hoy se cumplen 29 años de la liberación de Ortega Lara por la Guardia Civil, tras 532 días de cautiverio en un zulo en condiciones inhumanas a manos del comando etarra Bellotxa.
Los jóvenes nos negamos a olvidar el terror de ETA. Memoria, dignidad y justicia para las víctimas.
Egypt forgot how to build the pyramids.
Rome forgot how to build the aqueducts. Some still carry water today. What they built still stands. Neither civilization remembers how they did it.
Musk: “You look at great civilizations like ancient Egypt, and they were able to make the pyramids, and they forgot how to do that.”
Musk: “And the Romans, they built these incredible aqueducts. They forgot how to do it.”
No army invaded them. The knowledge just stopped getting used, and the moment it did, it was gone.
Same collapse. Compressed into fifty years instead of a thousand.
Musk: “In 1969, we were able to send somebody to the moon… Then the space shuttle retired, and the United States could take no one to orbit.”
Musk: “People are mistaken when they think that technology just automatically improves… it will, by itself, degrade.”
Capability doesn’t sit in a vault. It only exists inside the people doing the work right now.
The second they stop, it doesn’t pause.
It disappears.
That should not scare you. It should focus you.
Nobody loses a civilization to war. They lose it the moment they stop building.
Nobody is owed the future. It belongs to whoever keeps building it.

Hoy es el “Día de Amistad hispano-filipina" por lo mucho que nos une y los anglos no pudieron eliminar
In a fiat currency system, the benefits of deflationary technology primarily accrue to asset holders, because the forced inflation created by central banks pumps up asset values.
If we were living under an honest, hard-money monetary system, where the benefits of technology would not be offset by central banks debasing the currency, those gains would accrue more evenly across the population.
That is why we think the chart below is instructive.
It is a long-term view of real wages versus productivity.
The two tracked together well for decades, showing that as productivity increased, real wages did too. In other words, most people benefited from increases in productivity through higher real wages.
Then something changed around 1971, when that strong positive correlation broke. It was the year the US government cut the dollar’s last link to gold and the dollar became a pure fiat currency.
Since 1971, there has been a growing gap between productivity and real wages.
If you could transport yourself back to the early 1970s, just as the divergence between productivity and real wages began, and ask people what they thought 2026 would look like, they might have said something like The Jetsons—flying cars, advanced technology, and a society in which everyone was better off.
They probably would not have believed you if you told them that, in reality, people would be worse off in many ways in 2026 than they were in the early 1970s, despite enormous technological progress. We may not have flying cars or The Jetsons, but there have still been significant advances. Yet people’s standard of living has declined in many ways.
Today, many people are bewildered by how people could be worse off now than they were then. The answer is in this chart, which shows that the fiat system and currency debasement are the problem.
Despite advances in technology, the shocking level of currency debasement has not merely kept pace with the natural deflation that comes from increased productivity, but has vastly outpaced it… which is why people are, in many ways, worse off today than they were in the early 1970s. That prosperity has been stolen by inflation and fiat currency.
Since 1971, productivity has continued to increase, largely thanks to advances in technology, but those gains have not translated into growth in real wages as they had in the past under an honest money system. That is because under a fiat currency system, the central bank—the Federal Reserve—has created significantly more inflation than the gains in productivity, which meant real wages did not keep up.
However, those productivity gains from advancing technology did not just disappear. They were redirected somewhere else. They accrued primarily to asset holders, as wage earners chased rapidly depreciating fiat currency.
In short, the fiat currency system is a mechanism for transferring wealth created by technological productivity gains to asset holders and politically connected insiders closest to the money printer.
Frankly, it is a disgusting, dishonest system that operates at the expense of honest people.
But that is the nature of the monetary system we are all forced to live under. And it is wise to acknowledge it, understand it, and take action to protect yourself.
And now, with AI bringing a mind-bending level of productivity gains, this dynamic is about to go into overdrive.
Cataluña es el único territorio de la Europa democrática donde los ciudadanos no pueden elegir libremente qué lengua oficial usan en su propia tienda.
Te imponen la suya con acosos, amenazas y multas unos tipos que hablan del "derecho a decidir".
Europa no está condenada a la decadencia.
Pero necesita políticos con coraje reformista.
Completar el mercado único.
Eliminar burocracia.
Desregular a fondo.
Abaratar la energía.
Restaurar el mérito.
Premiar la excelencia.
Impulsar la innovación.
Abrazar la inteligencia artificial.
Recuperar la ética del trabajo.
Y, sobre todo, decir la verdad.
Sobre deuda, defensa, inmigración y bienestar.
Tratar a los europeos como adultos.

Estamos inmersos en una gravísima crisis de productividad que yo personalmente no había visto en 30 años. ¿Y qué estamos haciendo? Tocando la guitarra como la cigarra.
Nos están condenando a un futuro precario de muchos años.
Según Fedea, la carga fiscal supone hasta el 62% del precio final de una vivienda en España. Más de la mitad de lo que pagas por tu piso son impuestos. Y luego el gobierno te dice que el problema es la especulación.

Alemania acaba de generar el mayor efecto Streisand de la historia.
Prohíben la película Citizen Vigilante, Elon Musk la publica íntegramente en X y obtiene decenas de millones de visualizaciones en pocas horas.
La gente quiere un sistema de justicia que castigue de verdad.
No se han dado cuenta de que les ha pasado un tren por encima. De que su apoyo, apenas disimulado, a un Gobierno como este, enemigo declarado de la libertad de prensa, les ha dejado en evidencia. De que han perdido la confianza de muchos de aquellos a quienes, en teoría, debían servir, los ciudadanos. De que ese paternalismo moralista, esa forma justiciera y activista de ejercer el periodismo, ha quedado al descubierto, está moribunda.
Muchos de estos se sostienen gracias a los enchufes en lo público, a las subvenciones y a las propinas del poder. Y siguen sin entender que los números hablan. Que la mayoría de los españoles decide libremente dónde informarse, porque ya distingue entre el periodismo y el activismo. Por eso temen tanto a @navedelmisterio y muchos otros.
Aquí nos tienen.
