Bonhoeffer's Theory of Stupidity:
Evil can be guarded against. Stupidity cannot. The world's few evil people have little power without the help of many stupid people. Therefore, stupidity is a far greater threat than evil.
Gen. Wesley Clark: Putin is trapped. He sees no way out that preserves his survival as Russia’s leader, so he keeps pushing and hopes Trump’s friendship, Chinese help, Iranian help and U.S. distraction will cut support to Ukraine until Ukraine somehow collapses. 1/
Durante la Guerra Civil Española, los comunistas desenterraban los cuerpos de las monjas y los exhibían públicamente para burlarse de ellas y profanarlas.
La izquierda española es una fuerza del mal particularmente demoníaca, además de antisemita.
MAGA and pro-Russian influencers love to claim that Europe has become a dangerous wasteland while their own countries are perfectly safe.
The actual data completely exposes this narrative as a ridiculous lie.
Data proves that Europe is significantly safer than both the United States and Russia. While Western European nations maintain an average intentional homicide rate of around 1 per 100,000 people, the United States and Russia suffer from violent crime rates that are five to seven times higher (!!!). The claim that Europe is an unsafe warzone is completely detached from statistical reality.
Xenophobic influencers push this false narrative primarily as an excuse to attack immigration and Islam. However, their arguments fall apart under basic scrutiny because their own domestic demographics completely contradict their talking points.
For instance, pro-Kremlin accounts completely ignore the fact that Russia houses the largest Muslim population in Europe by far, numbering up to twenty million citizens. Similarly, MAGA commentators attack immigration despite the United States being a nation entirely built by immigrants and their descendants. The idea that Europe is uniquely dangerous is a stupid deception, as the numbers show it remains the safest of the three by a massive margin
On This Day — June 6, 1967
The fighting that followed Jordan’s unprovoked invasion of Israel was among the fiercest of the entire Six Day War.
At 2 a.m. on June 6, paratroopers of Brigade 55 assaulted the heavily fortified Jordanian position known as Ammunition Hill.
Because they were fighting in the heart of Jerusalem — right next to holy sites sacred to Jews, Christians, and Muslims — Israel deliberately chose brutal hand-to-hand combat rather than using air power or heavy artillery that could harm civilians or damage sacred places.
They blasted through minefields and razor wire in savage close-quarters fighting. Of the soldiers who attacked Ammunition Hill, 36 were killed and only 11 emerged unharmed.
After the battle, the Israelis buried 17 fallen Jordanian soldiers and placed a simple epitaph: “Here lie 17 brave Jordanian soldiers — IDF, 1967.”
Despite the horrific cost, Israeli forces secured Mount Scopus and reached the gates of the Old City by the end of the day.
This was not conquest for conquest’s sake.
It was survival — fought with restraint even in the heat of battle.
What happened next was nothing short of miraculous.
Trump has just destroyed the US beef industry. No country in their right mind is going to import US beef.
After Trump cut funding for Screwworm monitoring programs, the dangerous flesh-eating parasite has been found in US cattle for the first time since 1966.
🚨According to the Irish Times, the Irish Government refused FOI requests to release 2023 briefing documents on Aughinish Alumina export destinations because of the potential damage to Ireland’s international relations.
Makes you wonder what is in these documents…

BREAKING🚨
President @RTErdogan has called on Turks living abroad to return home.
This is a great idea, time to bring back all 350000 Turks who have illegally settled in occupied Cyprus, they have no business staying there, Turkey needs its people back home to build their “mighty” nation.
End the occupation, time for a free and liberated Cyprus.
If anyone ever wants to understand why we call them Palinazis or Islamonazis, it’s because they quite literally are and have been since Amin Al Husseini allied with Hitler to exterminate all Jews in both Europe and across the British Mandate of Palestine as well as the whole Middle East.
In one of his public speeches, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani admitted that Islam and the Prophet Muhammad guide his policies as a Muslim mayor. He glorified Islam as a pro-mass migration religion and stated: “Islam is built on migration.”
What he forgot to mention is that the Prophet Muhammad migrated from place to place — and after each migration, he waged war, conquered territories, and beheaded Jews and Christians who refused to submit to Islam. This is not a religion of peace. This is a political doctrine of a cult.
I warn you. This will make your blood boil.
The bit that stood out for me was her saying:
At Nottingham girls high school she says they have replaced “controversial” books by “white male authors” such as Of Mice and Men and Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (a book about the Holocaust)
She says the whole point of “decolonising the curriculum
NEW | China has announced a "maritime law enforcement operation" east of Taiwan.
For anyone tracking it, the real question is whether it shows up on AIS at all, and with these units the honest answer is usually not much.
That gap is the point. PRC coast guard and maritime-safety ships around Taiwan have a long habit of running dark, switching off AIS during exactly these "law enforcement" sorties, and Taiwan's own coast guard has called it out repeatedly as a way to stay untrackable. There's a documented spoofing problem on top of it, fake PRC signals planted near the island to muddy the picture. Absence from the map isn't absence from the water.
The next thing to read is whether Beijing puts out an official poster naming the hulls, the way it does when it wants an operation seen, or keeps the ships quiet and lets the announcement carry the weight.
The first means it's theater for an audience.
The second means the presence is the message and the proof is meant to stay deniable. Either way, the announcement is loud and the ships, for now, are not.
@Mrssmoketoomuch Jamen det er jo ikke “hosthosterne”, der har fanget dem, så dem er 🍉🍉🍉 da helt ligeglade med. Jeg undrer mig godt nok over, hvad de skulle i Libanon. Man håbede måske, at de ville blive dræbt af IDF under et angreb mod Hizbollah?
There is a constellation of Russian satellites broadcasting an interfering signal on GPS/GNSS frequencies all across Europe.
It arrives about once a month, usually weekdays office hours CET since 2019.

Nach dem „Che Guevara-Schnellschachcup“ in Berlin demnächst auch dort das „Osama Bin Laden-Golfturnier“ und das „Mao -Wettschießen“. Ob der „Stalin-Eislaufcup“ im Dezember zustande kommt, hängt von den Temperaturen ab.
Enhedslisten deltog i årevis i et projekt på Vestbredden, hvor den palæstinensiske organisation DFLP var samarbejdspartner. Efter 7. oktober 2023 valgte partiet at stoppe støtten, da det kom frem om, at DFLP havde medvirket til terrorangrebet mod Israel. https://t.co/o26HO3xStU
