Il lavoro non è un diritto ma un dovere, un dovere verso se stessi e verso la comunità. E il merito ne è parte fondamentale. Senza merito, senza passione per il proprio lavoro, non vi è creazione di valore.

Die Ukraine ist für Deutschland vollkommen unwichtig.

Wir hatten keine relevanten Beziehungen, Bünde, Pakte oder Verträge mit diesem Land.

Wir hatten kaum relevanten Handel mit diesem Land. Außer Getreide und Zwangsprostituierte hat das Land nur wenig mehr nach Deutschland exportiert.

Es war und ist eines der korruptesten Länder der Welt, bei dem garantiert ist, dass der größte Teil von allem, was man dort hinschickt, gestohlen wird.

Der Krieg gegen Russland war am ersten Tag bereits verloren, das ist jedem einzelnen Militärexperten sofort klar gewesen. Mit Nato Hilfe wird daraus aber ein endloser Fleischwolf der nichts als Blut und Trümmer zurück lässt und am Ende das gleich Ergebnis hervorbringt das man schon vor vier Jahren hätte haben könne.

Deutschland hat einen großen Teil seiner Militärreserven und praktisch die gesamte Munition dorthin geliefert, ohne dass wir jemals einen Euro dafür bekommen werden.

Zusätzlich schicken wir zig Milliarden Euro Hilfen über die wir keine Kontrolle haben wo das hinfließt.

Wir helfen keinem befreundeten Land bei irgendetwas. Die sind und waren nie unsere Freunde.

Wir helfen bei einem gigantischen Massenmord, bei dem weit über eine Million Menschen gestorben sind, und bei einem der größten organisierten Steuergelddiebstähle, die es jemals gab.

Und der Kickback muss gewaltig sein. Ansonsten würden nicht sämtliche Altparteienpolitiker dieses sinnlose Schlachtfest unterstützen.

“EU solidarity” can mean the position of EU institutions, the governments of the 27 member states, or the views of some 450 million Europeans.

The Commission can speak for the first and point to decisions taken by the second. But it should be rather more careful about inferring the third.

If the Commission is sufficiently confident that European solidarity with Ukraine is indeed stronger than ever, perhaps it should be equally comfortable having that proposition tested democratically.

Institutions are entitled to advocate policy. They should be considerably more cautious about speaking on behalf of public sentiment.

"Using the threat from Russia as a pretext, NATO has initiated an endless arms race that will permanently undermine the economy, social fabric, and international relations."

Retired General Fabio Mini, former Chief of Staff of the NATO Southern European Command, is skeptical about the prospects of NATO and the countries within the alliance, which are burdened by debt.

Around $107 billion has been raised through carbon pricing mechanisms since the Paris Agreement in 2015.

Compliance revenues flow directly into national treasuries, but the vast marketplace of individual carbon credits operates mostly out of sight, in the shadows.

Unlike standardised commodities like crude oil or wheat—carbon credits are bought and sold through private over-the-counter deals, using faceless middleman brokers. They are not traded on public, centralised exchanges with transparent order books.

The United Nations sets these rules, under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, and it approves framework guidelines, and oversees official credit mechanisms. But the physical reality on the ground is still fully obscured.

This absence of a clear public price index allows intermediaries to carve out significant, undeclared profit margins. The supply chain is a complex web of private project developers, third-party verifiers, private registries, and financial broker syndicates.

Within this ecosystem, net prices paid for high-integrity or removal credits have surged, with corporate buyers paying premiums averaging $25–$80 per ton for net-zero portfolios, and over $150–$500 per ton for engineered removals.

The dense layers stacked between the actual physical asset—such as a forest or a renewable installation—and the end buyer, make it impossible to know who takes a cut or how much money actually reaches the ground.

At its core, a carbon credit is an abstract financial medium. It represents an intangible metric ton of 'prevented' or 'absorbed' CO₂ rather than a physical, inspectable good.

This creates an inherent financial incentive for project developers to inflate baseline emission projections purely to maximise profits. Investigative reports and enforcement actions repeatedly highlight cases where these baselines were artificially inflated.

This isolates the buyer from the project, enabling substantial transaction fees to be siphoned off long before any capital reaches the local ecosystem. And this whole process is invisible. The end result is a self-fulfilling ecosystem of certifiers, auditors and financial traders.

They all profit from a continuous flow of climate capital—regardless of whether the climate ever changes.

L'elefante nella stanza

"Viviamo in una zombizzazione della società italiana: sia l’economia che la politica sono non-morte. Camminiamo confusi e barcollanti nei nuovi scenari globali, affetti da un virus di
cui non conoscevamo bene neanche l’esistenza. E questo perché esiste una conventio ad excludendum nel dibattito pubblico.

Si può parlare di tutto tranne di ciò di cui si dovrebbe parlare: le conseguenze profonde, diffuse, drammatiche dell’integrazione europea e, in particolare, della moneta unica. L’euro e l'UE sono l’elefante nella stanza della cultura politica italiana.

Finiamo così per abitare un dibattito largamente mistificato. E ciò non riguarda tanto le posizioni sui temi prevalenti del dibattito, e quindi la sempre più desolante chiacchiera politica, quanto gli stessi temi che vengono fatti entrare nel dibattito. È la cornice discorsiva che è mistificata.

Il quadro categoriale del dibattito è superficiale, ideologico, spesso retorico e moraleggiante, sostanzialmente impolitico, e la causa di tutto
questo è che non si può mettere a tema ciò che dovrebbe essere la questione fondamentale di tutto il nostro dire politico.

Si può parlare dell’ultimo gossip partitico, della frasetta politicamente scorretta pronunciata da un cantante, della pettinatura della leader di turno, della gaffe del giornalista, del provvedimento un po’ eccentrico del governo, ma mai si mettono a tema le conseguenze nefaste del processo d’integrazione europea, mai si discute del più grande avvenimento storico che abbiamo vissuto da quando il nostro paese ha smesso di crescere.

In questo esilio dell’euro e dell'UE dal dibattito, si scorge tutta l’immaturità della politica italiana contemporanea: si dibatte ferocemente su quale colonna sonora debba animare la nave che sta affondando."

Alina Chan makes an essential and urgent case that dangerous pathogen research capable of triggering a catastrophic pandemic is expanding around the world without anything approaching the oversight such risks demand.

She calls for binding standards covering risky pathogen research regardless of who funds it, independent oversight with real authority, mandatory reporting and investigation of laboratory accidents, and far stronger global biosafety and biosecurity protections.

I’ve worked closely with Alina for more than six years and have tremendous respect for her rigor, courage, and commitment to following the evidence wherever it leads. Her warning is of existential importance to all of us. We know the risks, have been warned, and must act before the next catastrophe.

Fauci Senior Advisor David Morens pleads guilty to "Conspiracy to Commit Offenses and to Defraud the United States" in connection with conspiring with Fauci, Daszak, Keusch, and others to defraud the public about NIH-funded gain-of-function research and the origin of COVID.

[Muriel Blaive, PhD @MurielBlaivePhD]

No kidding - it turns out the conspirators were Fauci and friends, not the people who criticized the pandemic response - who could have imagined 🥳

What this means is that Covid was almost certainly the result of a lab leak, to be more precise of research funded by Anthony Fauci, who brazenly declared it "worth the risk", and took it to China because Obama wisely paused this dangerous research in the US.

But it also means that the entire Covid response, an intense dramatization of the actual risk, was both a way to disarm any debate about the origins ("we are in an emergency situation in which freedom of speech doesn't apply") and a way to capitalize on that dangerous research on a fast track by selling us a vaccine now presented as indispensable. Is it necessary to add that it was a way to make billions in the process?

A "dramatic" situation, I might add, that the media embraced heart and soul because what sells better than tragedy? And what doctor wouldn't enjoy being breathlessly interviewed from morning to evening, as long as they indulged in a bout of virtue signaling and wise lecturing about the new opium of the intellectuals, aka, "the vaccine"? Not to mention our rulers, who have been gushing at ever wider restrictions of public freedoms in the name of "protection." Thank you so much, dear governments.

We live in societies that embraced such a phony ploy without a blink. We have a lot of soul searching to do indeed...

PS: Oh, and please spare us the "But we didn't know!'" argument. If you supported the censorship of the people who did know and were silenced, you have no right to invoke innocence now.
