@FredGauge@SamaHoole By then, people added masses of carbs (cola, lemonade, sweets, chocolate bars, spghetti, sweet yoghurt, sugar, fructose, you name it…) to their traditional diet. That’s the real cause, Fred.
Ci sono miti (fasulli) duri a morire!
Karl Marx non era un filosofo del popolo. Era un parassita invidioso che ha succhiato soldi per tutta la vita: prima dai familiari, poi da Engels, che lo manteneva con regolarità mentre lui bruciava tutto in speculazioni sbagliate e nel vizio.
Quando le richieste diventavano troppo oscene, Engels stesso si innervosiva. Marx non riusciva a nascondere l’invidia per la ricchezza altrui. E da questa invidia personale ha costruito un’ideologia.
Il comunismo non è una teoria della liberazione: è l’invidia elevata a sistema. Invece di creare ricchezza, insegna a odiare chi la crea. Invece di premiare il merito, premia il risentimento. E quando prende il potere, trasforma lo Stato in una macchina di saccheggio legalizzato.
Non è un caso che ovunque sia stato applicato abbia prodotto miseria, carestie, gulag e morte di massa. Oltre cento milioni di vittime nel XX secolo, come documentato nel Libro nero del comunismo.
Hayek lo aveva capito: il socialismo non è solo economicamente fallimentare, è il preludio inevitabile al totalitarismo. Solženicyn ha descritto l’orrore dei campi. Mises ha smontato la sua economia prima ancora che si realizzasse.
Marx non ha mai lavorato un giorno in vita sua in modo produttivo. Ha passato il tempo a teorizzare come rubare il frutto del lavoro altrui. E la sua ideologia ha solo fornito la giustificazione morale a generazioni di parassiti, tiranni e sicofanti.
Il comunismo non è una sfortunata applicazione di un’idea buona. È un’idea cattiva fin dall’origine, nata dall’invidia e dalla pigrizia intellettuale di un fallito che ha voluto rifarsi una vita a spese degli altri. E il mondo continua ancora oggi a pagarne il prezzo.
E la nostra battaglia culturale deve continuamente ribadirlo!
Milei’s spot-on diagnosis of the left:
“I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that it never worked anywhere, and they refused to accept it.”
“But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, and unequal treatment under the law.”
“They are very violent, and since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.”
@PALNWS@fmeeus1 Gelukkig is het wel zo: het pensioenbedrag, klassiek à 1 weduwe uitbetaalbaar, wordt in het geval van meerdere co-wdwn (van dezelfde man) door hun aantal gedeeld. Dus elk 1/3 bedrag indien 3 wdwn. Groot verschil. Echter andere “rechten” komen erbij en vergroten rekening aberrant!
Professor risicobeheer Wim Schoutens (KULeuven) is duidelijk : huidig klimaatbeleid met net-zerobeleid is ontworpen voor een wereld die niet meer bestaat, dus stop ermee. De grote jongens USA, China en India doen niet mee en EU uitstoot is amper 6% van wereldwijde uitstoot.

Ukraine sits on some of the most fertile soil on earth, the deep black earth that made it the breadbasket of Europe. In 1932 and 1933, on that very soil, close to four million of its people were starved to death. The soil was as rich as ever. The famine was a decision.
The decision was collectivisation. Stalin set out to abolish the independent farmer altogether, to end private land and private animals and drive every peasant onto a state-run collective farm. The man who owned a little, a few cattle, a horse, a plot worked by his own family, was branded a kulak, an enemy of the people, and marked for destruction. Stalin's instruction was to liquidate them as a class.
The peasants saw what was coming, and many made a terrible choice. Rather than surrender their animals to the state, they killed them. Across the Soviet Union the herds simply collapsed. Around half the cattle, gone. Nearly half the horses that pulled the ploughs. Two-thirds of the sheep and goats. Tens of millions of animals slaughtered in a few seasons, a loss so total that the country did not rebuild its livestock to the old levels until the 1980s. A people who had fed themselves for a thousand years destroyed their own herds rather than hand them over, and the state called it sabotage.
Then came the grain. The quotas were set impossibly high, and when the villages could not meet them, brigades went from house to house and took everything. The harvest. The seed saved for next spring. The last food in the pantry. And when the countryside had been stripped bare, the people were forbidden to leave in search of bread, sealed inside their own dying villages.
So it was that in one of the richest farming regions on the planet, the men and women who actually grew the food lay down in the lanes and died of hunger, in their millions. Some, at the very end, ate things no human being should ever have to eat.
Here is the lesson, and it is worth carving somewhere it cannot be forgotten. A man who owns his land and his animals can feed his family whoever sits in the palace. A man who depends on the state for his bread can be starved the day he steps out of line. That is why the independent farmer is always the first enemy of absolute power. Take his herds, take his fields, and you have taken the one thing that let him stand on his own.
A population that cannot feed itself will, in the end, do as it is told.
Destroy the farmer, and you hold the whole nation by the throat.
Het zijn voornamelijk allochtonen met een sterke etnische identiteit die ons komen vertellen dat de 'etnische' Nederlander niet bestaat. Als je het omdraait, zie je hoe absurd dit is. We zouden bijvoorbeeld nooit ontkennen dat de Turk, Koerd, Javaan of Arabier bestaat.
We now have documentation that COVID was fabricated in the Wuhan bioweapons lab under the funding and direction of Anthony Fauci. High ranking Democrats up to and including Joseph Biden engaged in a criminal coverup that killed and crippled millions. Where are the tribunals?
Waarom zijn een paar warme dagen hier ‘problematisch’ maar ‘geen probleem’ als we op vakantie gaan naar (nog) warmere oorden?
Waarom “lijdt het menselijk lichaam hier onder 30 graden”, maar functioneert het wonderwel aan 38 graden in Sicilië, Kreta of Andalusië?
Ik vraag het voor een vriend.
Scientists have identified a reversal of the long-standing Flynn effect—the roughly 200-year trend of rising average intelligence (measured via IQ and cognitive tests) across generations.
For the first time in modern recorded history, Generation Z (born roughly 1997–2012) shows lower performance than previous generations in key cognitive domains, including attention, memory, literacy, numeracy, executive function, problem-solving, and general IQ—despite spending more years in formal education than ever before.
Neuroscientist and educator Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, PhD, MEd, testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation on January 15, 2026, highlighting this shift. In his written testimony, he stated that cognitive development in children across much of the developed world has stalled or reversed over the past two decades, with declines evident in international assessments (e.g., PISA, TIMSS) and other large-scale data starting around the mid-2000s and accelerating post-2010.
Horvath attributes the primary driver not to reduced schooling, but to the widespread integration of digital screens and educational technology (EdTech) in classrooms. He argues that human brains evolved for deep, focused learning through face-to-face interaction and sustained attention, not fragmented skimming or constant task-switching encouraged by devices.
Key points from his testimony include:
- Teens now spend over half their waking hours on screens, with significant portions in school involving computers or tablets—often leading to off-task behavior and shallower processing.
- Evidence from meta-analyses and national/international studies shows a consistent pattern: higher classroom screen exposure correlates with weaker outcomes in reading, math, science, and higher-order reasoning.
- Digital tools may aid narrow, repetitive skill practice in controlled settings, but in core academic contexts, they tend to reduce depth of understanding, retention, and critical thinking.
Horvath describes this as a "structural mismatch" between human cognition and how digital platforms are designed (to capture and fragment attention), warning that unchecked EdTech adoption risks long-term harm to workforce skills, innovation, and societal reasoning.

It is now clear that Dr. Fauci is the single greatest mass murderer in modern human history.
On her last day in office, DNI Tulsi Gabbard dropped an absolute BOMBSHELL, leaving the American people with one final gift: the Dr. Fauci Files
Gabbard just exposed Fauci for providing MILLIONS in U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, how he worked with the deep state to cover up the lab-leak origins, and how he subsequently LIED to Congress in 2024.
Translation:
- Fauci funded the research that created COVID-19
- Fauci covered up the origins of the virus
- Fauci lied to Congress and the American people
Thank you Tulsi Gabbard for your service to the American people and bringing transparency back to the Intelligence Apparatus.
Now, it’s time for heads to roll for these egregious crimes. Send Fauci to The Hague for crimes against humanity.

The goat was one of the first animals humanity ever domesticated, standing right at the dawn of the whole experiment. Long before the cow, before the plough had properly bitten, before the settled field was truly a field, there was the goat.
More than ten thousand years ago, in the Zagros mountains of what is now Iran and the hills of Anatolia, human beings took the wild bezoar ibex and turned it into livestock. At Ganj Dareh, one of the oldest farming settlements on earth, the mud bricks still carry the imprints of little cloven hooves, pressed in while the clay was wet. The goat walked through the foundations of civilisation while we were still laying them.
Ask why the goat came first, and you meet the same answer that explains almost everything about it. It asked for nothing.
A cow needs deep grass and good ground. A goat needs a hillside everything else has given up on. It browses where there is no pasture, stripping leaves, bark, scrub, thistle and weed, turning the bitter and the thorny and the spoiled into milk and meat. It climbs where nothing else will climb. It survives the drought, the rock and the cold, the bad year that wipes out a richer man's herd. It breeds fast and travels light. You could keep a goat when you owned nothing but the goat, on land worth nothing to anyone above you.
That is why it was first. The animal that needed the least became the one we tamed soonest, the beast a hungry, half-settled, nearly destitute people could actually keep alive. The goat got humanity through the door.
And how have we thanked it.
We made it the byword for poverty. The poor man's cow, said with a curl of the lip, the beast of those who could not run to cattle. We made it the scapegoat, in the oldest and most literal sense: the animal in the Book of Leviticus onto which a whole people heaped their sins before driving it out into the wilderness, never to return. When humanity needed something to carry away its guilt, it reached for the goat.
Then we gave it the face of evil itself. Look at almost any image of the Devil and you are looking at a goat: the horns, the cloven hooves, the slotted yellow eye, the leering beard. The animal that fed the poorest people on earth became the chosen portrait of Satan.
Notice the pattern. The goat is never hated for anything it actually does. The milk is good. The meat is good. The hide and the hair clothe you. It harms no one and asks for nothing. The contempt is aimed squarely at what it represents.
Because the goat is the animal of the people with nothing. It is survival without land. It is abundance without permission. It is a full belly wrung out of bare rock by someone who was never meant to manage it, owing the men above him nothing at all.
That freedom is the unforgivable thing. It always was.
We tamed the goat first because it was the animal that needed us least. We have spent the ten thousand years since making it pay for that.
