Ko zadnji predsednik CK ZKS odločitev opiše kot "veličastno, kakršnih v zgodovini ni bilo veliko", je pametnemu dovolj.
Bolj veli-častne so bile verjetno samo še one 15 minutne obravnave na Teharjah ob treh zjutraj poleti 45. O tem pa v njegovi familiji tudi veliko vedo.
Marsikdo misli, da so ti ljudje tako glupi. Ampak ne, brezsramni so. Pred leti se je zadevo še malo zavijalo v celofan fraz o "socialni državi", sedaj so pa nehali. Direktno povedo "mi smo v večini, izglasovali si bomo privilegije na tuj račun, kaj nam pa morete".
@vidovod I hate to break it to you, ampak če nekdo plačuje “like €10 na mesec” za nekaj kar po tvoje stane nekaj jurjev na mesec, samo pomeni, da vse skupaj vključno s posledicami kupa neumnih osebnih odločitev, plača nekdo drug. 🥂
Suppose that the world were populated with 2 billion Hasidic Jews who were trying to aggressively convert everyone to their faith. I would be the first to express concern if we started to bend all of our liberties to acquiesce to the demands of the Hasidic Jews. There are 10,000+ religions in the world, only one of which consistently causes global mayhem, and only one faith that is antithetical to American liberties. I criticize ideologies. I judge individuals (of any faith and of no faith) by the totality of their qualities and flaws. We should NEVER temper our commitment to the First Amendment. It is the only thing keeping us from becoming every other failed civilization throughout history. Once you allow those who wish to silence us to succeed in their plans, it is a short hop and skip to the abyss of infinite darkness. Focus. Defend your liberties. Reject ideologies that seek to enslave you.
For roughly a thousand years, Ireland ran a functioning legal system without a state, a legislature, or a single person with a monopoly on violence.
From around 600 AD to the 1600s, Irish society operated under Brehon Law, a decentralized, customary legal order maintained entirely by private jurists called brehons. These were specialists, trained for years, who sold their expertise in dispute resolution. Nobody appointed them. Nobody taxed you to pay for them. You hired one because his reputation was good and people trusted his judgments.
The enforcement mechanism is the part that sounds impossible to the modern ear. There were no police. Instead, Brehon Law ran on a system of sureties and social bonds. If you wronged someone, your kin group and your guarantors became liable. You had skin in the game: if you behaved badly, you dragged your whole network down with you. Social liability kept order across a population of well over half a million people for centuries.
Free market thinkers have long argued that law and order don't require a state monopoly. Brehon Ireland is the awkward historical timeperiod that makes statists change the subject. The system handled theft, injury, contract disputes, and even homicide through compensation and restitution rather than cages and punishment.
The English Crown destroyed it during the Tudor conquest, systematically replacing it with centralized common law by around 1607.
This sounds like a typical "Irish" joke, but it's true:
The Irish Government bought a new €53m jet.
And insisted on removing an Israeli-made navigational system.
Now it can't land in the fog 🤣🤣🤣

No, mene zanima sledeče.
- zakaj se vladni uslužbenci vozijo okrog s sirenami, kot da rešujejo življenja - naj se vozijo kot vsi ostali; zastoji za vse, ne le za rajo.
- zakaj ministrom plačujemo avtomobile za zasebno uporabo?
Between 1837 and 1863, the United States ran no central bank, and prices barely moved. This is no coincidence.
After Andrew Jackson killed the Second Bank of the United States in 1836, America entered what historians call the Free Banking Era. Banks operated under state charters, competed with each other, and issued their own paper notes backed by gold and silver. No Federal Reserve. No lender of last resort handing out cheap money to well-connected institutions.
The result? Average annual inflation sat somewhere around zero. Some years actually saw mild deflation, meaning your dollar bought more over time. Imagine telling that to someone who watched their grocery bill climb 20% between 2020 and 2023.
Free market thinkers have pointed to this period for decades because it demonstrates a fundamental mechanism: competition keeps banks honest. If a bank in Ohio issued more paper notes than its gold reserves could support, people caught on fast and demanded redemption. The bank either held enough gold or it failed. There was no bailout waiting.
Yes, banks did fail sometimes. Free banking critics love bringing that up. But bank failures in a competitive system are exactly how bad actors get flushed out. Depositors learned to check a bank's reputation. Publications like the *Bank Note Reporter* gave people real information on which institutions were solid.
The system wasn't perfect, but it produced something modern central banking has never once delivered: sustained price stability without a government committee deciding what money should cost. The Fed has existed since 1913, and the dollar has lost over 97% of its purchasing power since then.
🇬🇧🇪🇸 British journalists went UNDERCOVER and contacted people-smugglers who are now MOVING migrants out of the UK.
The traffickers are hiding people in lorries and sending them across the Channel into France, then offering a taxi service down to Spain.
Their sales pitch is simple: Spain is the best option right now. Everyone is going there because of the amnesty that lets undocumented migrants get papers and work after a short stay.
Many of the customers are visa overstayers from India and Pakistan trying to escape tougher enforcement in Britain and gain free movement across Europe.

Na referendumu bom glasoval ZA interventni zakon, ker ne razumem, kako je lahko nekdo proti zakonu, ki prinaša nižje davke za državljane in boljše pogoje za gospodarstvo.
Nabutano nelegitimno Ustavno sodišče nadaljuje z uzurpacijo oblasti. V bistvu so povedali, da je referendum dopusten, ko oni rečejo, da je dopusten. Kdaj je v zakonu "dovolj vsebin, o katerih je referendum dopusten" bodo oni arbitrarno presojali od primera do primera.
Strinjam se s Turkovo izjavo; »Deportacije so realne predvsem za kriminalce; splošno pozivanje k množičnim deportacijam ocenjuje kot cenen populizem.«, ki je veljavna v normalnih razmerah. V vojnih razmerah države sprejemajo povsem drugačne ukrepe. Vprašanje je samo, ali so razmere normalne ali imamo vojno stanje.
Slovenski intelektualci o dogajanju v Ceuti: migracije kot hibridni pritisk in preizkus evropske suverenosti
Schengen ne sme biti samopostrežna trgovina pravic.
Boštjan M. Turk dogodek vidi kot ponovitev strategije iz leta 2021: “Maroko je znova uporabil migrante kot orodje hibridnega pritiska na Španijo in Evropsko unijo, natanko tako kot leta 2021. To ni humanitarna nesreča, temveč zavestna, sistematična strategija, ki izkorišča šibkost evropskih meja in pomanjkanje politične volje.” Evropska suverenost je po njegovem mnenju neposredno postavljena pod vprašaj: če se zunanja meja sesuje v nekaj urah, gre le še za iluzijo.
Ne gre le za ekonomsko preživetje, temveč za proces demografskega in kulturnega preoblikovanja. Varnostna tveganja – pritisk na infrastrukturo, rast kriminala, oblikovanje vzporednih družb in izguba socialne kohezije – so po njegovem očitna.
Žiga Turk poudarja, da je “Evropa suverena toliko, kolikor ima volje, sredstev in moči, da to suverenost dejansko brani – ne toliko, kolikor si to zapiše na papir. Države na južni meji, od Turčije do Maroka, v zameno za ugodnosti ovirajo migrante in za Evropo opravljajo “umazano delo”, ki ga sama zaradi sočutnosti in pravičnosti noče.” Občasno te države opozorijo na svojo vlogo. Suverenost torej ni deklaracija, temveč praksa.
Žiga Turk nezadovoljstvo s Španijo po Evropi povezuje predvsem s Sánchezovo legalizacijo stotisočev migrantov, ki so tako postali državljani EU in se prosto gibljejo po celini. Takšne enostranske poteze po njegovem mnenju ogrožajo Schengen in širše oblike prostega pretoka ljudi.
Žiga Turk poudarja, da je potrebna restriktivna skupna evropska politika do sprejemanja prišlekov in podeljevanja državljanstva, dokler obstaja prost pretok ljudi. Dotok je treba ustaviti takoj. Deportacije so realne predvsem za kriminalce; splošno pozivanje k množičnim deportacijam ocenjuje kot cenen populizem.
Država, ki ne zmore ali noče izpolnjevati svoje primarne dolžnosti varovanja zunanje meje EU, nima več pravice uživati ugodnosti prostega pretoka oseb in blaga. Schengen ne sme biti samopostrežna trgovina, kjer si neodgovorne vlade izbirajo zgolj pravice, dolžnosti pa prelagajo na ramena sosednjih držav.” Schengen ne sme biti samopostrežna trgovina pravic.
Odločitev US je:
1. ustavnopravna katastrofa
2. ekonomsko škodljiva
3. politično vrhunska.
Pred Slovence bo postavljeno zelo jasno vprašanje ali hočejo višje davke ali ne. Če bodo rekli ja, kar je zelo mogoče, bo to jasno sporočilo o prihodnosti te države. Sprenevedanja bo konec
“Have you completely lost your minds?” Bashkortostan's governor blasts officials
The outburst came after it emerged that municipal vehicles had been used to drive judges and their family members between Ufa and Kazan on weekends.
“Have you got any conscience at all? Have you completely lost your minds? We're barely finding buses for our boys, and you're driving judges around in official cars. On what grounds?” Khabirov said.
He ordered the vehicles to be confiscated after the inspection and transferred to the "Defenders of the Fatherland" Foundation.
Well, "our boys" can walk for a change.
