The exact location of Kerkeosiris is unknown, and the only known evidence for Menches’s life is a collection of preserved papyrus documents from his scribal office. These papyri were reused to wrap mummified crocodiles at a temple in the city of Tebtunis in the 1st century BC. The papyri were rediscovered in 1900 when English archaeologists Bernard Pyne Grenfell and Arthur Surridge Hunt excavated the temple’s necropolis. Over the next 38 years, Hunt, Grenfell, and other scholars translated the papyri into English. The collected papyri are commonly known as the “archive of Menches” and are part of the Tebtunis archive at the Bancroft Library in the University of California, Berkeley. They are an important source of information about life in Egypt during the Ptolemaic period, including agricultural practices and local government.

Ed Sheeran n’est qu’une machine à imprimer du fric. Voilà la preuve. Désolé.

14.9.2026 - Robert Kraft, Besitzer des Football-Teams New England Patriots und von deren Stadion in Boston, gab Sheeran ein Ultimatum: Entweder Macklemore wird verbannt oder die Konzerte dürfen nicht stattfinden.

Nach seinen propalästinensischen Äußerungen bei Konzerten von Popstar Ed Sheeran ist US-Rapper Macklemore aus dem weiteren Vorprogramm der Tour des britischen Sängers gestrichen worden. „Ed Sheeran und sein Team haben entschieden, mich von der The-Loop-Tour auszuschließen“, teilte Macklemore in einem Post auf der Plattform Instagram mit. Mehrere Veranstaltungsorte hätten mitgeteilt, dass sie kein Konzert mit Macklemore im Line-up zulassen würden, zitierten US-Medien den Tourveranstalter Messina Touring Group.

Bei seinen Auftritten sagte Macklemore wiederholt, er wolle „auf Bühnen und in Stadien in ganz Amerika stehen und zwei Worte sagen kann, die mir sehr am Herzen liegen: Free Palestine“. Dabei betonte er, dass „Kritik an Israel, Kritik an der Apartheid und die Ablehnung von Völkermord in keiner Weise eine Kritik an jüdischen Bürgern“ sei. Er wolle, „dass alle Menschen mit Würde, Respekt und Gleichberechtigung behandelt werden“.
Zwickmühle für Sheeran

Die Organisation Israeli-American Council (IAC) hatte laut Medien daraufhin eine Petition gestartet, in der sie Ed Sheeran dazu aufrief, den Rapper auf seiner Tour nicht weiter auftreten zu lassen. Den Unterschied machte aber erst Milliardär Robert Kraft, seines Zeichens Besitzer des Football-Teams New England Patriots und Eigentümer des Gillette-Stadiums in Boston, in dem Sheeran unter anderem auftreten sollte.

Dieser habe Sheeran angerufen und ihm mitgeteilt, dass Macklemore nicht im Gillette Stadium auftreten dürfe. Gemeinsam mit weiteren Stadienbetreibern stellte er Sheeran ein Ultimatum: Sollte Macklemore weiterhin Teil der Tournee sein, dürfe Sheeran nicht in ihren Stadien auftreten.

Der britische Musiker habe sich daraufhin in einer Zwickmühle befunden, schrieb Macklemore. Sheeran sei aus Prinzip unpolitisch, wies Macklemore aber darauf hin, dass dessen Aussagen viele Menschen verletzt hätten. Schließlich entschieden Sheeran und sein Management dann, Macklemore von der Tour auszuschließen.

Damit kann Sheeran seine kommenden Konzerte weiterhin spielen. Nächste Station der US-Tour ist am Samstag Philadelphia, am Wochenende darauf tritt Sheeran zwei Mal in Boston auf. Es folgen insgesamt sieben weitere Konzerte, unter anderem in Atlanta, Texas und Florida. (dpa)

Robert Kraft
▻https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kraft

Ce Kraft fait partie des amis milliardaires de Donald Trump. Il a investi des sommes importantes dans le projet Trump qui a failli échouer à plusieurs reprises à cause de la connerie de son protagoniste central. Kraft est un fervent défenseur de tout sionisme même génocidaire. Voilà la qualité de l’argent au pouvoir aux États Unis.

Sorry folks you are so nice, I love you but no, you’re responsible for this type having an impact on decisions taken by your government. Take measures to make yourselves respected by the people of the world again, you, I mean all of you.

Early life and education

Kraft was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, the son of Sarah Bryna (Webber) and Harry Kraft, a dress manufacturer in Boston’s Chinatown. His mother was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia; his father was a lay leader at Congregation Kehillath Israel in Brookline and wanted his son to become a rabbi. The Krafts were a Modern Orthodox Jewish family. Robert attended the Edward Devotion School and graduated from Brookline High School. As a child, he sold newspapers outside Braves Field in Boston. During high school, Kraft was unable to participate in most sports because it interfered with his after-school Hebrew studies and observance of the Sabbath.
...
Business career

Kraft began his professional career with the Rand-Whitney Group, a Worcester-based packaging company run by his father-in-law Jacob Hiatt.[7] In 1968, he gained control of the company through a leveraged buyout.[1] Kraft remains the chairman. In 1972, he founded International Forest Products, a trader of physical paper commodities. The two combined companies make up the largest privately held paper and packaging companies in the United States.[citation needed] Kraft has stated that he started the company out of a hunch that the increase in international communications and transportation would lead to an expansion of global trade in the late twentieth century.

International Forest Products became a top 100 US exporter/importer in 1997 and in 2001 was ranked No. 7 on the Journal of Commerce’s list in that category.[18][19][20] Kraft said of the business in 1991 that, “We do things for a number of companies, including Avon, Kodak, cosmetics companies, candies, toys.” The company produced both corrugated and folding cartons, which he stated, “are used to package everything from the Patriot missile, to mints, to Estee Lauder, Indiana Glass and Polaroid.”[21] Kraft acquired interests in other areas, and ultimately formed the Kraft Group as an umbrella for them in 1998.[17]

Kraft was an investor in New England Television Corp., which gained control of the channel 7 license for Boston in 1982,[22] and he became a director of the board a year later, after the newly licensed station, WNEV-TV, signed on, replacing the former WNAC-TV. In 1986, Kraft was named president of the corporation.[23] In 1991, Kraft exercised his option to sell his shares for an estimated $25 million.[24]

Politics

Kraft was elected chairman of the Newton Democratic City Committee when he was 27. Kraft considered running against Representative Philip J. Philbin in 1970 but chose not to, citing the loss of privacy and strain on his family that politics would have caused. Kraft was further discouraged from entering politics by the 1970 suicide of his friend State Representative H. James Shea Jr.[1]

Kraft is a member of the Democratic Party, but has supported candidates of both major parties (Democrats and Republicans) financially.[1][104][105]

Kraft has had a longtime friendship with Donald Trump that dates back to the 1990s.[106] In 2017, he donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration day celebrations.[107] Kraft had made donations to Trump’s presidential campaign as well.[106] In 2020, NBA coach Gregg Popovich called Kraft “hypocritical” for supporting Trump while claiming to advocate for social justice.[108] It was reported that Kraft had initially distanced himself from Trump in the years following the January 6, 2021 protests. However, in early 2025 reports emerged that the two had resumed speaking to each other.[109] and they were once again being described by media as being allies.[109][110] In February 2025, Trump named Kraft’s wife, Dana Blumberg, to the board of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Blumberg was appointed to replace Carlos Elizondo on the board as part of a greater effort by Trump to purge members of the board and exert control over it.[111][112][113]

Since 2017, Robert Kraft has owned two Boeing 767 private jets used by the New England Patriots.[114] As of June 2022, one of these jets had been used for at least 3 flights deporting migrants from the United States to Honduras.[114] Neither Kraft nor the Patriots commented on this revelation, but they later cancelled their contract with the charter airline that had operated these flights; in 2024, they signed a new charter contract with Omni Air International, which also operates deportation flights on behalf of ICE.[114]

In June 2019, Kraft received Israel’s Genesis Prize. While at the event in Jerusalem, Kraft pledged $20 million to establish a foundation that will fight antisemitism and combat the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel.[115][116]

In April 2024, during the Gaza solidarity protests at Columbia University, Kraft stopped funding the university “over the treatment of Jewish students and faculty during pro-Palestinian protests at the campus”, citing “virulent hate.”[117][118] According to Adam Saifer and Fahad Ahmad, Kraft is among “billionaire donors” who “have used their vast wealth—and the threat of withdrawing it—to demand a severe crackdown on student protesters expressing solidarity with Palestine” since October 2023.[119]

Macklemore was removed as opener from Ed Sheeran’s 2026 US tour after making “free Palestine” statements on stage. Macklemore said that this was the result of Kraft calling Sheeran to say he would not be allowed to perform at Gillette Stadium, which is owned by the Kraft Group.[120][121][122][123] According to Macklemore’s statement, Sheeran told him “Kraft had rallied some of the other stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: If Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues.”[120] Kraft confirmed that he was the cause of the removal, accusing Macklemore of “hate speech” and having a “history of antisemitic rhetoric and imagery”, but also stating that “This decision is not about diminishing the suffering of innocent Palestinians or denying anyone the right to advocate on their behalf. Their pain and loss are real.” and that "I would welcome the opportunity to sit down with Macklemore and discuss the facts, because ultimately our goal is the same – peace for all people, an end to suffering, and an end to all hate.”

Edward Geary Lansdale (February 6, 1908 – February 23, 1987)[1] was a United States Air Force officer until retiring in 1963 as a major general before continuing his work with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Lansdale was a pioneer in clandestine operations and psychological warfare. In the early 1950s, Lansdale played a significant role in suppressing the Hukbalahap rebellion in the Philippines. In 1954, he moved to Saigon and started the Saigon Military Mission, a covert intelligence operation that was created to sow dissension in North Vietnam. Lansdale believed the United States could win guerrilla wars by studying the enemy’s psychology, an approach that notionally won the approval of the presidential administrations of both John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson but largely would not be implemented due to bureaucratic opposition.

▻https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Lansdale

In 1950, President Elpidio Quirino personally requested that Lansdale be transferred to the Joint US Military Assistance Group, Philippines, to assist the intelligence services of the Armed Forces of the Philippines in combating the Hukbalahap rebellion. Lansdale was an early practitioner of psychological warfare. Adopting a tactic previously used in the Philippines by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II[citation needed], Lansdale spread rumors that aswangs, blood-sucking demons in Philippine folklore, were loose in the jungle. His men then captured an enemy soldier and drained the blood from his body, leaving the corpse where it could be seen and making the Hukbalahap flee the region.[8] Lansdale also arranged for US military support to Philippine efforts in defeating the Kamlon rebellion in Sulu.[9]

Press Release – August 28, 2026
1. Quick summary

On August 26, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, through OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control – the authority responsible for managing and enforcing economic and financial sanctions) sanctioned Autistici/Inventati (A/I), an Italian collective that has been providing digital infrastructure – email, hosting, mailing lists, chat, videoconferencing, streaming, and services related to privacy and anonymity – to movements and activists since 2001. Washington designated it as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT), alleging that it has provided financial, material or technological support to terrorism and to organizations already subjected to sanctions. A/I rejects the allegations and declares that its activities consist in providing tools for digital self-defence and infrastructure for the freedom of communication.

On August 28 the autistici.org web domain was found to be unreachable. The collective attributed the problem to the DNS level and to the .org domain registry, Public Interest Registry (PIR). This technical point is important: it does not necessarily mean that the server was shut down; a domain can be made unreachable by preventing the normal DNS publication or resolution. Technical findings indicated a serverHold status for the domain (see below, “10. The blocking of autistici.org: facts and attributions”). The exact cause and the formal chain of decision-making must be however distinguished from the collective’s inferences: there is no public statement from PIR explicitly saying that it acted on OFAC’s orders.
2. Who is Autistici/Inventati

Autistici/Inventati was born in Italy in March 2001 from the meeting of individuals and collectives active in the fields of technology, privacy, digital rights and political activism. The collective offers free infrastructure as an alternative to large commercial platforms. A/I presents itself as an anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-sexist and anti-militarist organization, opposed to capitalism and to authoritarianism, and selects the projects it hosts based on their compatibility with these principles.

The infrastructure is managed through a formally recognised association. This means that A/I is not an informal group: its activities are run by an association complying with all existing legal regulations, with legal responsibilities, contractual relationships and the associated obligations and controls.

This does not mean that the association has never had to deal with the justice system. Over the years there have been proceedings and interventions by the authorities, also on an international scale. Among the episodes recalled by the collective are the 2004-2005 intervention on the servers hosted by Aruba, in the context of an investigation launched by the public prosecutor’s office in Bologna, as well as subsequent disputes concerning individual pieces of content or accounts. In another case, following a suit by Trenitalia concerning a satirical site, the court of Milan ruled in defense of satire.
3. What the United States has decided

On August 26, OFAC placed Autistici/Inventati on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List with the SDGT designation. The legal basis is Executive Order 13224, issued in 2001 and subsequently amended, which allows for action to be taken against those who, in the view of the US administration, provide material, financial or technological support to terrorist activities.

The SDGT designation should not be confused with the Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) category. It is primarily a sanctions designation: assets and property interests subject to the US jurisdiction are frozen, and US citizens are generally prohibited from conducting transactions with the designated entity, subject to OFAC authorization.
4. What Washington accuses A/I of

According to the US Treasury, A/I provides digital infrastructure, tools and services to “violent Antifa cells” and other left-wing extremists. The statement cites hosting, encrypted email, chat and videoconferencing, streaming, and the infrastructure associated with Noblogs. Washington also claims that the infrastructure was made available to organizations already subjected to sanctions, specifically naming the PKK.

The logic behind this accusation is therefore not simply “A/I carried out a terrorist attack”. The point is so-called material support: according to Washington, the technological infrastructure constitutes a means of supporting individuals or activities qualified as terrorist.

The point at issue is therefore less straightforward than the phrase “has carried out terrorist acts” suggests: the charge concerns the role of the infrastructure and of the services provided to users. In this perspective, the question becomes to what extent the provision of technological services — email, hosting, chat, streaming or other communication tools — can be considered material support to a subject qualified as terrorist.

OFAC further maintains that the sanctions do not target the mere protected political expression, but rather support for conduct falling within the definition of terrorism in Executive Order 13224.
5. The collective’s response

A/I firmly rejects the US qualification. The collective describes itself as composed of volunteers and digital activists, saying that it merely provides digital self-defence tools for activists, individuals, groups and associations.
6. OFAC in a nutshell

The SDN List is the list of designated entities. In A/I’s case the acronym SDGT stands for Specially Designated Global Terrorist: it is a US sanctions designation, distinct from the Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) category, but with concrete economic consequences. The OFAC entry file on A/I also includes the notation “Secondary sanctions risk”.

The strength of this system does not stem solely from the fact that the United States can block assets within the US. The influence of the financial system, the US dollar and US companies can produce indirect effects abroad as well: banks, platforms and providers may sever ties to avoid compliance risk. This phenomenon is often called de-risking.
7. Why the sanction may have effects outside the US

The US designation does not automatically amount to a ban on A/I in Italy or the European Union. The US, the EU and individual states have distinct legal systems and counter-terrorism lists. Inclusion on the OFAC list does however produce significant pressure on operators dealing with the designated entity.

OFAC has also issued General License 36, which authorises the wind-down of certain transactions involving A/I within September 25, 2026. In this context, the term “wind-down” refers to the possibility of closing or bringing pre-existing relationships and transactions with the sanctioned entity to an orderly conclusion within a timeframe set by OFAC. It is therefore not an authorisation to maintain relationships indefinitely, but rather a deadline. It is important to distinguish between the period granted for the wind-down, any applicable legal obligations, and the independent decisions of operators who choose to sever the relationship earlier.
8. August 28: what happened to the DNS

When a user types autistici.org in their browser, the computer needs to know which IP address it should connect to. The DNS (Domain Name System) performs this function: it translates a human-readable name, such as autistici.org, into the server’s numerical address.

Simplified diagram: user → DNS → IP address → server → website.

If the DNS stops returning the correct match, the server may remain active but the website becomes unreachable for the users of that domain.

It is therefore important not to mix up the act of “disconnecting or suspending the domain” with the decision to “shut down the server”. The former action affects a different level of the hosting infrastructure.
9. ICANN, PIR, registrars and servers: who does what

ICANN coordinates the domain name system globally and signs agreements with the registries of the various Top-Level Domains (TLDs), in this case “.org”.

PIR (Public Interest Registry) is the registry operator of the .org domain: it manages the .org name registry and a key part of the TLD’s DNS infrastructure.

The registrar is the intermediary through which the individual domain is registered and administered.

The provider/host manages the servers on which websites and services are actually hosted.

A/I is the party that uses the domain and manages its own services and infrastructure.

Diagram: ICANN → coordinates the system; PIR → manages .org; registrar → administers domain registration; servers/hosting → host the content. For this reason, PIR should not be described as the provider that “hosts” A/I’s website.
10. The blocking of autistici.org: facts and attributions

Technical findings have indicated that the domain is in serverHold status, a status that normally prevents the the domain from being published in the DNS. The technical data documents the status of the domain, but does not in itself prove who decided to take this action or for what reason.

The domain was rendered unresolvable and A/I believes that this action can be attributed to PIR. There is currently no public statement from PIR specifically explaining the case or confirming that the action was carried out on OFAC’s direct order.
11. Why the DNS is the most important point in this story

This incident shows that digital infrastructure can be targeted at different levels. It is not necessary to seize the server containing specific data: action can be taken against the domain name that allows it to be found. In this sense the domain name becomes a point of control.

The central question therefore becomes: what happens when an Italian collective, its servers and its users are formally located outside the US jurisdiction but use a .org domain managed by a US registry and financial or technological services linked to the US market?
12. Banca Etica: the sanction also affected an Italian bank account

The consequences of the US designation do not only affect the internet. According to Autistici/Inventati’s own account and as reported by media outlets, Banca Etica has informed the collective that it is planning to close their account following A/I’s placement on the OFAC list. This is a significant development because it shows how a decision taken by a US authority can produce concrete consequences even in the financial dealings of an Italian organization.

It is important, however, not to read this situation as a consequence of a direct order to close the account sent by the US Government to Banca Etica. What is happening is more complex. Inclusion on the OFAC list subjects the sanctioned party to a set of restrictions and, in Autistici/Inventati’s case, the US measure also signals a risk of secondary sanctions. For a bank or another financial intermediary, this can translate into a compliance issue: continuing to maintain relationships with the sanctioned party may be considered too risky from a legal, financial or reputational point of view.

This is known as de-risking: an intermediary may choose to terminate a relationship not necessarily because an Italian regulation automatically requires it to do so, but because it wants to avoid exposure to the risks arising from the US sanctions system. In this sense, an OFAC sanction can produce effects far beyond the US jurisdiction without the need for a direct order addressed to the individual bank.

The case is particularly interesting because it concerns Banca Etica, an institution that has made responsible finance and a commitment to to human rights an important part of its identity and which has already criticised the extraterritorial impact of US sanctions, including when such measures were taken against UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese. The A/I case therefore shows a potential tension between two imperatives: on the one hand, the bank’s principles and public stances; on the other, the obligations, risks and compliance assessments connected to managing a relationship with a party placed on the OFAC lists.

Here too it is therefore useful to distinguish between US sanction and Italian consequences. Washington has designated A/I; the decision to terminate the banking relationship, if confirmed, is however a decision by the Italian intermediary. It is precisely this chain — OFAC → designation → compliance risk → intermediary → possible termination of the relationship — that shows to which extent US financial sanctions can have indirect effects even on entities located outside the United States.

The overall picture is therefore one of a potential domino effect leading to the disruption of various services: web infrastructure, domain names, email and financial tools. It is precisely this proliferation of points of dependency that seta this incident apart from the simple censorship of a web page.
13. The broader issue: when infrastructure becomes support

This case is interesting because it shifts the focus from the responsibility of those carrying out an action to the responsibility of those providing the infrastructure that enables communication, organisation or the publication of content.

The question does not concern only A/I. The same principle could, in theory, apply to email providers, cloud services, hosting providers, messaging platforms, payment systems or domain registrars. The point is establishing when the provision of a general-purpose service becomes, under the applicable laws, “material support” to a terrorist organization.

Science fiction écrite par un membre de la noblesse impéraliste britannique on découvre dans son roman des motifs toujours d’actualité dans les cercles ésothériques et conspirationnistes de droite. Son « Vril » est à l’origine de nombreux récits farfelus dangereusement impreignés du racisme meurtrier de la colonisation et de l’esclavagisme du dix neuvième siècle.

My host then proceeded to question me as to the habits and modes of life among the races on the upper earth, more especially among those considered to be the most advanced in that civilisation which he was pleased to define “the art of diffusing throughout a community the tranquil happiness which belongs to a virtuous and well-ordered household.” Naturally desiring to represent in the most favourable colours the world from which I came, I touched but slightly, though indulgently, on the antiquated and decaying institutions of Europe, in order to expatiate on the present grandeur and prospective pre-eminence of that glorious American Republic, in which Europe enviously seeks its model and tremblingly foresees its doom. Selecting for an example of the social life of the United States that city in which progress advances at the fastest rate, I indulged in an animated description of the moral habits of New York. Mortified to see, by the faces of my listeners, that I did not make the favourable impression I had anticipated, I elevated my theme; dwelling on the excellence of democratic institutions, their promotion of tranquil happiness by the government of party, and the mode in which they diffused such happiness throughout the community by preferring, for the exercise of power and the acquisition of honours, the lowliest citizens in point of property, education, and character. Fortunately recollecting the peroration of a speech, on the purifying influences of American democracy and their destined spread over the world, made by a certain eloquent senator (for whose vote in the Senate a Railway Company, to which my two brothers belonged, had just paid 20,000 dollars), I wound up by repeating its glowing predictions of the magnificent future that smiled upon mankind—when the flag of freedom should float over an entire continent, and two hundred millions of intelligent citizens, accustomed from infancy to the daily use of revolvers, should apply to a cowering universe the doctrine of the Patriot Monroe.

In June 1858, when her husband was standing as parliamentary candidate for Hertfordshire, she denounced him at the hustings. He retaliated by threatening her publishers, withholding her allowance and denying her access to their children. Finally he had her committed to a mental asylum, but she was released a few weeks later after a public outcry.

...

Bulwer-Lytton’s works were well known in his time. He coined famous phrases like “pursuit of the almighty dollar”, “the pen is mightier than the sword”, “dweller on the threshold”, “the great unwashed”, and the opening phrase (incipit) “It was a dark and stormy night”. The sardonic Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, held annually from 1982 to 2024, claimed to seek the “opening sentence of the worst of all possible novels”.

Bulwer-Lytton’s works had an influence in a number of fields.

Bulwer-Lytton’s most famous quotation is “The pen is mightier than the sword” from his play Richelieu:

beneath the rule of men entirely great, the pen is mightier than the sword

He popularized the phrase “pursuit of the almighty dollar” from his novel The Coming Race,[46] and he is credited with “the great unwashed”, using this disparaging term in his 1830 novel Paul Clifford:

He is certainly a man who bathes and “lives cleanly”, (two especial charges preferred against him by Messrs. the Great Unwashed).

The writers of theosophy were among those influenced by Bulwer-Lytton’s work. Annie Besant and especially Helena Blavatsky incorporated his thoughts and ideas, particularly from The Last Days of Pompeii, Vril, the Power of the Coming Race and Zanoni in her own books.[48][49]

Bulwer-Lytton’s name lives on in the annual Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, in which contestants think up terrible openings for imaginary novels, inspired by the first line of his 1830 novel Paul Clifford:[50]

It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents – except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.

Entrants in the contest seek to capture the rapid changes in point of view, the florid language, and the atmosphere of the full sentence.[51] The opening was popularized by the Peanuts comic strip, in which Snoopy’s sessions on the typewriter usually began with “It was a dark and stormy night”.[52] The same words also form the first sentence of Madeleine L’Engle’s Newbery Medal–winning novel A Wrinkle in Time. Similar wording appears in Edgar Allan Poe’s 1831 short story “The Bargain Lost”, although not at the very beginning. It reads:

It was a dark and stormy night. The rain fell in cataracts; and drowsy citizens started, from dreams of the deluge, to gaze upon the boisterous sea, which foamed and bellowed for admittance into the proud towers and marble palaces. Who would have thought of passions so fierce in that calm water that slumbers all day long? At a slight alabaster stand, trembling beneath the ponderous tomes which it supported, sat the hero of our story.

Several of Bulwer-Lytton’s novels were made into operas. One of them, Rienzi, der Letzte der Tribunen (1842) by Richard Wagner,[53] eventually became more famous than the novel.[citation needed] Leonora (1846) by William Henry Fry, the first European-styled “grand” opera composed in the United States, is based on Bulwer-Lytton’s play The Lady of Lyons,[54] as is Frederic Cowen’s first opera Pauline (1876).[55] Verdi rival Errico Petrella’s most successful opera, Jone (1858), was based on Bulwer-Lytton’s The Last Days of Pompeii, and was performed all over the world until the 1880s, and in Italy until 1910.[56] Harold: The Last of the Saxon Kings (1848) provided character names (but little else) for Verdi’s opera Aroldo (1857).[57]

Theatrical adaptations

Shortly after their first publication, The Last Days of Pompeii, Rienzi, and Ernest Maltravers all received successful stage performances in New York. The plays were written by Louisa Medina, one of the most successful playwrights of the 19th century. The Last Days of Pompeii had the longest continuous stage run in New York at the time with 29 straight performances.[58]

In addition to his political and literary work, Bulwer-Lytton became the editor of the New Monthly in 1831, but he resigned the following year. In 1841, he started the Monthly Chronicle, a semi-scientific magazine. During his career he wrote poetry, prose, and stage plays; his last novel was Kenelm Chillingly, which was in course of publication in Blackwood’s Magazine at the time of his death in 1873.[13]

Bulwer-Lytton’s works of fiction and non-fiction were translated in his day and since then into many languages, including Serbian (by Laza Kostic), German, Russian, Norwegian, Swedish, French, Finnish, and Spanish. In 1879, his Ernest Maltravers was the first complete novel from the West to be translated into Japanese.[59]

In Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, the suburb of Lytton, the town of Bulwer on Moreton Island (Moorgumpin) and the neighbourhood (former island) of Bulwer Island are named after him.[60][61][62] The township of Lytton, Quebec (today part of Montcerf-Lytton) was named after him[63] as was Lytton, British Columbia, and Lytton, Iowa. Lytton Road in Gisborne, New Zealand, was named after the novelist. Later a state secondary school, Lytton High School, was founded in the road.[64] Also in New Zealand, Bulwer is a small locality in Waihinau Bay in the outer Pelorus Sound, New Zealand. It can be reached by 77 km of winding, mostly unsealed, road from Rai Valley. A weekly mail boat service delivers mail and also offers passenger services. In London, Lytton Road in the suburb of Pinner, where the novelist lived, is named after him.

Portrayal on television

Bulwer-Lytton was portrayed by the actor Brett Usher in the 1978 television serial Disraeli.

Time to split...

As the reality of the war became clear, members of Vril were increasingly frustrated by attempts to use their revealed technology for killing machines. Around Christmas time 1943, an important meeting of the Vril-Gesellschaft took place at the seaside resort of Kolberg. Maria Ortic and “Sigrun” presided and discussed the urgency of the Aldebaran Project. They feared that the war chaos posed a danger to their ultimate goal of using the vril-engine’s time-warp potential to reach their benefactors on their Aldebaran planet. The mediums had received precise information about the habitable planets around the sun Aldebaran and had already planned a trip there.

A few weeks later, at a January 22, 1944 meeting between Hitler, Himmler, Kunkel (of the Vril Society) and Dr. Schumann the Aldebaran Project was discussed. When tethered, the anti-gravity engine produced a time-warp field. The Vril had been told that this would enable them to travel faster than the speed of light. They had conveyed specific details on how to achieve this. So specific, in fact, that a test flight was conducted.

The Vril were allowed to use Vril-7, a large-capacity disc, 45 meters in diameter that had just been built and tested. According to reports, the first test flight in the “dimension channel” took place in the winter of 1944 with the craft tightly tethered. In this way the vril-engine could be used as a sort-of stargate. It was a sobering experience, just short of disaster. The Vril 7 returned after the “flight” looking “as if it had been flying for a hundred years”. The outer skin was damaged in several places. For sure, these problems would have to be addressed before the “real” trip to Aldebaran was made or the passengers would not survive.

[Above:] Vril 7 at the Brandenburg testing grounds. The woman in the foreground is the Vril Gesellschaft medium “Sigrun” who has been authenticated in other WW2 photos standing in front of Fw 190 fighters. She not only supervised the construction of Vril-7 but she was also its pilot.

Vril’s medium “Sigrun” made frequent trips to the facility to oversee construction and testing of the Vril 7. In 1944, a group of engineers approached her with a request. They wanted to know if the Vril Triebwerk engine could be adapted to one of their projects — the Arado E.555 strategic bomber [right]. They were abruptly told, “No” and returned to their conventional designs. Sigrun was actually insulted because the entire purpose of the Vril discs was aimed at peaceful space flight.

In early March of 1945, the Thule society received a letter, signed by Maria Orsich, making reference to the trip to Aldebaran. It seems some of the Vril group had already made the trip and had decided to stay. The letter ends with, “neimand bleibt hier” — no one has remained here. But did they really go to another planet?

Many people now believe that Aldebaran was a red herring. The real destination was the Utopia that was being established in the Antarctic — New Swabiland. This was the raison d’etre for the racial purity and breeding programs. This is where the 100+ submarines that Allies counted “missing” were sent, along with countless cargo ships.

During the occupation of Germany, at the beginning of 1945, Americans discovered photographs of the Haunebu II and the Vril I crafts as well as of the Andromeda device — the 300 foot cigar shaped craft — in the secret archives of the SS. But their most precious find were two prominent scientists, Viktor Schauberger and Wernher von Braun, who were ushered into the US under the now unclassified Project Paperclip.

It’s no wonder that a certain American air and space developer is reported to have confessed before he died, “If the public ever learns that we have had this technology all these years, they will never forgive us for keeping it secret.”

Some Vril images... What do they mean?

[Above:] Conspiracy theorists often attempt to show that the same Thule and Vril designs appear in contemporary UFO photographs. They say this proves the Nazis escaped with the craft before the War’s end and explains why we see UFO craft so often.

I like to think there is a group of humans, somewhere, who have worked so diligently to improve their genetics, creating a superior and more healthy body and mind. Looking at our world today, it seems a goal beyond reach.

It is said that the Vril energy can repair a body’s DNA, allowing one to revert to the healthiest state of youth. The medium “Sigrun” was supposedly 140 years old and never aged. Lot’s of things are possible when you can manipulate time.

If any Vril women are reading this, I’m all packed.

But wait... there’s more!

Consider that the Vril time machine/anti-gravity device used a rotating drum of mercury, in a unique state called “red mercury”... and that Vril energy can rejuvenate living tissue... now look at this story (December 2011), presented as found:

In der Musikbrauerei häufen sich Veranstaltungen, bei denen rechtsextreme und verschwörungsideologische Akteure auftreten. Der bekannte Verschwörungsideologe Ken Jebsen soll am 16. Dezember erneut eine Rede dort halten. Das ist keine Ausnahme: In der Event-Location in Prenzlauer Berg haben in der Vergangenheit mehrfach Auftritte und Medienproduktionen mit verschwörungsideologischem und rechtsextremem Hintergrund stattgefunden. Darunter des rechtsextremen Magazins Compact, sowie des vom Verfassungsschutz als Verdachtsfall eingestuften Medium Auf1.

Diese Vermietungen stellt die Clubcommission vor ein Dilemma, denn die Interessenvertretung der Berliner Clubs kann die Musikbrauerei nicht ohne weiteres aus ihrem Verein anschließen, auch wenn sich diese klar gegen Hass, Antisemitismus und Rechtsextremismus positioniert. Diese Werte gehören zum kürzlich entworfenen Leitbild, das erst als Reaktion auf die Auseinandersetzung entstanden ist.

Derzeit prüfe man die Modalitäten eines Ausschlusses der Musikbrauerei aus der Clubcommission, sagt deren Vorsitzender der Berliner Morgenpost im oben verlinkten Beitrag. Das sei jedoch ein nicht unkompliziertes Verfahren, weswegen man sich aktuell in juristischer Beratung befinde, erklärt der Vorstand Marcel Weber.

Nun befürchte man bei der Clubcommission, ins Visier rechter Medien und Akteure zu geraten. „Wir sind ein öffentlicher Verein, der eine Adresse hat”, erklärt Weber weiter gegenüber der Morgenpost. (…) Wir wissen jetzt schon, dass es richtig schlimm sein wird.”

Die Musikbrauerei sei ein „Ort des demokratischen Austausches”, sagt dagegen Jens Reule-Dantas, Betreiber der Musikbrauerei. Zudem machte er ebenfalls gegenüber der Morgenpost darauf aufmerksam, dass politische Veranstaltungen lediglich fünf Prozent aller Veranstaltungen ausmachen. Teil dieser fünf Prozent im vergangenen Jahr: Die „Erste alternative Medienmesse”, die Ende März von der Partei „Die Basis” veranstaltet wurde. Ende April 2025 stellten Künstler:innen „alternative Kunst” aus – darunter auch eine Künstlerin, die sich Siggi von Vril nennt, deren Name auf eine Verschwörungserzählung mit NS-Bezug verweist.

Der Verein für Demokratische Kultur in Berlin e.V. weist darauf hin, dass rechte Gruppen zunehmend Restaurants und Eventlocations anmieten, um Infrastrukturen für ihre Zwecke aufzubauen.

‘Creepy surveillance’: why some cities are shutting down Flock cameras amid privacy concerns
▻https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/apr/06/flock-cameras-privacy-concerns

Vous avez dit 1984? C’est le passé qu’on a dépassé depuis longtemps.

6.4.2026 by George Chidi - Some cities are cutting ties with firm that provides license plate reader cameras, others are signing new contracts and many are still looking for their footing

In recent city council meetings in Dunwoody, Georgia, a spokesman for Flock Safety, a Georgia-based firm that provides automated license plate readers, has found himself in the hot seat again.

For two months running, some residents of the affluent north Atlanta suburb in the region’s tech corridor have been demanding an end to the city’s contract with the security firm, which has drawn similar protest from California to New York.

Between a recent change in terms of service that removed a line assuring customers that the company does not own and will not sell customer data – done to eliminate redundancy, Flock says – and videos circulating of hackers showing how they had obtained access to live video feeds from Flock cameras, Dunwoody residents and some members of the city council have been in in revolt.

“When you hear from our police department saying they trust Flock, it’s clear that our police are too lazy to verify what a vendor such as Flock says,” said Joe Hirsh, a Dunwoody resident, haranguing the council over privacy breaches last week. “You and I both know the next time Flock is misused in our city, you will turn a blind eye because none of you are trustworthy with our records.”

Kerry McCormack, Flock Group Inc’s public relations manager for the east coast, spent about half an hour explaining that the company doesn’t own the images its increasingly ubiquitous license plate reader cameras take, and that it doesn’t sell the data.

“One hundred per cent of data, which is the photo of the public license plate, is owned by our customers,” McCormack said. “So, you own that data. It is never sold. We don’t have that in our model. It is written into your contract. We do not sell data.”

Skepticism of these statements abounds among Flock’s critics, who have made surveillance a political issue for municipalities. And within the bounds of the law, Flock’s clients can share or sell their data as they see fit.

The Dunwoody councilwoman Catherine Lautenbacher asked city staff what would happen if a local agency with an agreement with ICE wanted to search their databases on an immigration enforcement case.

“We’re not limiting their access essentially to searches … associated to their case,” replied Patrick Krieg of the Dunwoody police. “Say that agency has a representative that is assigned to a unit that is associated with said ICE, would they be able to search our database? Most likely.”

Leaders in Dunwoody voted to defer renewal of its contract while its staff worked out the details with Flock. But they didn’t cancel the contract outright – not after investing $360,000 to build a real-time crime center and about half a million a year with Flock Safety in its technology and network.

Dunwoody’s struggle for balance between privacy and security is visible in other cities. Some are shutting down their cameras and ripping them off lightpoles. Others are signing new contracts, albeit with stronger language about how data is shared. Many are still looking for their footing.

Benn Jordan’s cluttered studio-slash-laboratory in the Atlanta suburbs has a synthesizer in one corner and computer chop-shop workbench in the other, befitting his general Buckaroo Banzai vibe.

“I’m a scientist and YouTuber and musician,” he said. “I’m basically just somebody who asks a lot of questions about everything.”

Jordan and a collection of security technologists have been looking closely at Flock Safety’s gear for months. They are concerned about privacy issues, but have approached this as a hacking challenge to prove a point: surveillance technology with security vulnerabilities may do more harm than good when misused. They have shared their findings with the company, and the federal government’s academic information security apparatus, and now with the world through a series of YouTube videos highlighting the vulnerabilities of the cameras.

Jordan and security researchers Joshua Michael and Jon Gaines demonstrated how the hardware of one Flock camera they purchased from an online vendor could be penetrated simply by pushing the button on the front three times while using a common Android operating system diagnostic tool. The password to the device was coded in the firmware and readable with the device. With that password, they could upload, download or delete videos.

“Let’s say I was a crazy abusive partner,” Jordan said. “If she said, you know, ‘I went for a walk,’ and I said, ‘no, you got picked up and cheated on me,’ I could go to each Flock camera and do this and see if she’s on the local, because it does take pictures every time the radar sensor detects movement, then it will take that image and store it on the camera.”

He describes this in one video as “Netflix for stalkers”. They said they report all of their findings to Flock before posting anything.

Flock’s response has been to say that a device that isn’t connected to the internet doesn’t have the same network security protections as one that does, and that their findings don’t amount to a significant security issue.

Still, among the videos which have millions of views on YouTube, one shows Jordan watching himself on his phone, streamed live from a Flock camera hanging above his head on a pole. Jordan had found some of Flock’s Condor cameras were streaming their feeds live to the open internet, and that some of that archived footage was accessible.

Lautenbacher cited that video while talking with Flock’s public relations director at the Dunwoody hearing last month. “He said he hacked your cameras. You said that never happened?”

“Our systems, our data, our customers data has never been hacked,” McCormack answered. “We’re aware of one instance … we put this stuff out when we find out about it.” McCormack attributed it to an installation error that was fixed immediately.

Lautenbacher asked if McCormack uses customer data to train AI. “For product improvement when there are problems,” he replied. “Is there an inherent, outright access to that data? No.”

Though other companies make automated license plate readers, Flock Safety may be in the headlines because it offers its police customers a unique service: nationwide search capacity. With more than 80,000 cameras in its network, that data sharing agreement makes Flock attractive for local investigators tracking crime suspects fleeing their jurisdiction. But it also means other agencies can reach into a local police department’s records of license plate sightings looking for someone.

404 Media revealed in May 2025 that local police around the country had repeatedly searched Flock’s database to assist federal immigration enforcement. An examination of school records by education news group The 74 showed dozens of national searches made by local school police departments to assist with immigration enforcement. An Atlanta police department investigator made similar searches, even though the department has a no-cooperation policy with ICE.

Flock uses imagery data to train artificial intelligence. In the wake of a Super Bowl ad highlighting Amazon’s Ring cameras use of AI to track down lost dogs, customers quickly understood the corollary: their cameras could be used to track people, too. , The ad provoked intense backlash, and precipitated an end to Ring’s partnership with Flock Safety.

“I think the Super Bowl ad really was an exemplification of how creepy this surveillance can be,” said Rindala “Rin” Alajaji, associate director of state affairs at the Electronic Frontier Foundation and a longstanding critic of license plate reader technology. “Ring miscalculated the public reaction to the ad and what it represented.”

The Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) strategy for immigration enforcement has increasingly relied on imagery-driven technology and data analysis. The DHS entered a five-year, up to $1bn agreement with Palantir Technologies to build profiles of deportation targets, and has a contract with Clearview AI for facial recognition software. Flock doesn’t do facial recognition. But the mere possibility that ICE will access the license plate data and add it to its pile of information is enough cause for some communities to pull the plug.

Even though ICE can’t do a search itself, “the fact that ICE has access to their data is a symptom of a larger problem about how law enforcement works in this country,” Alajaji said. “This is not just a Flock problem … There’s more to it than stolen cars and missing persons.”

In a website post in January, Flock said it did not work with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or any other sub-agency of the Department of Homeland Security, noting that it had concluded pilot programs with federal agencies in August.

The debate has been loudest in California, which passed a law in 2015 barring municipalities from sharing automatic license plate data with federal or out-of-state agencies. Flock disabled that function for California cities in March 2025, to comply with state law.

Last month amid an outcry, the city of Mountain View, California, shut off all of its Flock cameras after they discovered in an audit that federal agencies had accessed the city’s camera data without explicit local authorization in a brief period of 2024.

“I share your anger and frustration regarding how Flock Safety’s system enabled out-of-state agencies to search our license plate data, and I am sorry that such searches occurred,” wrote Mike Canfield, Mountain View’s police chief, in a message to the community. “I know how essential transparency is for maintaining trust and for community policing. This is why MVPD has been so open about what we learned and why we are pausing this program until our City Council can weigh in.”

Mountain View, Santa Cruz, South Pasadena and other California cities have recently terminated their contracts with Flock, citing questions about its recent change in terms of service and fear about sharing data indirectly with ICE. South Pasadena council members cited the “inadvertent” sharing of data as the reason for their cancellation.

The other reason Flock Safety has been in the headlines is, counterintuitively, because the company is relatively open about its technology and its data practices.

“We’re not the only one with a national network,” said Holly Bellin, a Flock Safety spokesperson. Bellin was referring to competitors Axon and Motorola. Axon’s real-time crime center and intelligence platform Fusus also allows agencies to share camera data between public and private entities. Axon has a contract with ICE, albeit not to provide license plate data.

Motorola’s Vigilant division integrates its license plate reader network with Thompson Reuters Clear.

Both firms have escaped the sometimes-withering public criticism Flock Safety has faced by remaining opaque. Neither Axon nor Motorola responded to requests for comment.

The attention parallels the public policy arguments other tech firms have faced as adoption expanded, like the accusations of online homestay rental firms distorting housing markets, or of ride-sharing companies exploiting workers, or of the general backlash against AI companies.

“I completely think that is what’s happening is that people are anxious and they’re looking for a bully pulpit, and they’re looking for someone to be upset at,” Bellin said. “I think the reason we’re in headlines across the country – in fact, I know it – is because we have the audit records, because individual citizens can actually audit this technology. And so it’s almost like we’re being punished for transparency.”

The company has set up a transparency portal allowing the public to see what searches have been made for its data. Flock Safety conforms to state and local regulation, Bellin said. As legislation changes, Flock adapts.

“Without regulation, we’re sometimes caught between a rock and a hard place,” she said. “When regulation is put into place like it is in Washington or New Mexico … it’s really easy for us to go in and put in a search filter on all agencies to pull it from an offense type. We’ve built all of that from an engineering standpoint. We just can’t do it until there’s regulation.”

Flock Safety worked with Gaines when first approached last March, said its chief information security officer, Chris Castaldo. But Gaines and Jordan would not conform to the company’s “bug bounty” process of identifying vulnerabilities, he added.

The findings Jordan publicized in YouTube videos have either been fixed – like cameras that were misconfigured to stream video – or did not exist in properlyinstalled systems, like being able to access a camera through a diagnostic tool, Castaldo said. The Miami-Dade county sheriff’s office recently tore some Flock cameras apart as a penetration test, looking for vulnerabilities and came back clean, Castaldo said.

Miami’s police use gunshot detection and other technology from Flock Safety, and appear to be happy with the tools. Meanwhile, Flagstaff, Arizona, deactivated its cameras and then physically removed them. Denver cancelled its contract with Flock and is preparing to sign a new contract with Axon to administer license plate readers.

Richmond, California, disabled its cameras in October, but voted in March by a 4-to-3 margin to extend its contract, after intense debate. Flock continues to gain new customers, even as existing customers re-evaluate the technology.

As the customer revolt intensified, Flock has – with increasing alarm – been reaffirming that it has ended its pilot programs with federal agencies and no longer conducts pilot projects with federal agencies, and built safeguards into its software to screen searches for sensitive information like abortion or healthcare related activities, or for immigration enforcement.

The new tools would not prevent a police officer in an ICE-friendly jurisdiction from fudging the purposes of a search. Nonetheless, these efforts have been enough to satisfy other communities.

“The contract thing is gonna drive me batty,” said Lynn Deutsch, Dunwoody’s mayor in the public meeting. “I do not understand a system in which I sign a contract, and it’s a subscription for a year, and the terms can change nine months in. These changes don’t feel insignificant to me. I have a lot of mayor friends, and we’re all talking about this.”

Deutsch was referring to a recent change to Flock’s terms of service, which the company describes as a clarification about how it uses customer data, but which has raised hackles for appearing to expand the company’s rights to use that data to train AI.

A bifurcation is emerging between cities that view the cameras as a relatively inexpensive enhancement to an overstretched police force – and a mechanism for generating ticket revenue – and those that do not want to be held responsible for assisting federal immigration enforcement while ICE engages in politically toxic behavior.

A change in terms of service might have been the catalyst for hard conversations like this, but the underlying concern is political, like in Dunwoody.

The city was an early adopter of Flock gear. Using money from the city’s business district tax zone, Dunwoody spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to build a real-time crime reporting center with Flock technology at its core, integrating the city’s 400 or so cameras with thousands of other cameras owned by businesses.

The system includes gunshot detection devices and M350 drones with Flock Aerodome software that police can deploy in 30 seconds from its headquarters to the mall or a street junction to provide aerial surveillance before police can get there in a car. Police credited the Flock technology with helping identify and track a major jewelry theft ring’s vehicles from south Atlanta into Dunwoody to prevent a planned heist in the city.

The mayor has been talking with her peers in other cities, she said. Two different communities may have very different perspectives on the technology based on the particular issues at hand. One city may need more cameras. Others might need to get rid of them.

“To me, the public policy question is public safety,” Deutsch said. “People move here because it’s safe, and companies won’t stay if it’s not. And so they argue that the research shows this isn’t helping with safety. That may be true overall, but that is not true here.”

Dunwoody again postponed re-signing its Flock contract last Monday, citing community concerns about privacy. A Dunwoody resident, Jason Hunyar, said that he discovered through records requests that a live feed from the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta had been shared through the Flock network, even though the center’s private network had been marked in the system as “do not share”.

Jordan also attended the meeting. He has offered to pay for a security audit.

“I want someone to help me understand, given the evidence that we produced, how anyone would think that signing any more contracts with any third-party surveillance vendor would be a good idea without setting up an independent security and ethics audit first. I can’t open up a barbershop or a Chick-fil-A without a safety inspection.”

Adversaire de l’esclavage ce médecin fondateur des États Unis considéra la couleur noire de la peau comme maladie héréditaire. il est connu pour sa « médicine héroïque ».

Rush was a leading proponent of heroic medicine. He firmly believed in such practices as bloodletting patients[45] (a practice now known to be generally harmful,[46] but at the time common practice), as well as purges using calomel and other toxic substances. In his report on the Philadelphia yellow fever epidemic of 1793, Rush wrote: “I have found bleeding to be useful, not only in cases where the pulse was full and quick but where it was slow and tense. I have bled twice in many and in one acute case four times, with the happiest effect. I consider intrepidity in the use of the lancet, at present, to be necessary, as it is in the use of mercury and jalap, in this insidious and ferocious disease.”
...
Another of Rush’s medical views that now draws criticism is his analysis of race. In reviewing the case of Henry Moss, a slave who lost his dark skin color (probably through vitiligo), Rush characterized being black as a hereditary and curable skin disease. Rush wrote that the “disease, instead of inviting us [whites] to tyrannise over them [blacks], it should entitle them to a double portion of our humanity.” He added that this “should teach white people the necessity of keeping up that prejudice against [miscegenation], as it would tend to infect posterity with … their disorder” and called for an “endeavour to discover a remedy for it.”
...
mental health

Rush published one of the first descriptions and treatments for psychiatric disorders in American medicine, Medical Inquiries and Observations, Upon the Diseases of the Mind (1812).[53][54] He undertook to classify different forms of mental illness and to theorize as to their causes and possible cures. Rush believed (incorrectly) that many mental illnesses were caused by disruptions of blood circulation or by sensory overload and treated them with devices meant to improve circulation to the brain such as a centrifugal spinning board, and inactivity/sensory deprivation via a restraining chair with a sensory-deprivation head enclosure ("tranquilizer chair").[55] After seeing mental patients in appalling conditions in Pennsylvania Hospital, Rush led a successful campaign in 1792 for the state to build a separate mental ward where the patients could be kept in more humane conditions.[56]

Rush believed, as did so many physicians of the time, that bleeding and active purging with mercury(I) chloride (calomel) were the preferable medical treatments for insanity, a fact evidenced by his statement that, “It is sometimes difficult to prevail upon patients in this state of madness, or even to compel them, to take mercury in any of the ways in which it is usually administered. In these cases I have succeeded, by sprinkling a few grains of calomel daily upon a piece of bread, and afterwards spreading over it, a thin covering of butter.”[57] Rush followed the standard procedures of bleeding and treatment with mercury, he did believe that “coercion” and “restraint”, the physical punishment, chains and dungeons, which were the practice of the time, were the answer as proven by his invention of the restraint chair and other devices. For this reason, some aspects of his approach could be seen as similar to Moral Therapy, which would soon rise to prominence in at least the wealthier institutions of Europe and the United States.[58]

Rush is sometimes considered a pioneer of occupational therapy particularly as it pertains to the institutionalized.[23] In Diseases of the Mind (1812), Rush wrote:

It has been remarked that the maniacs of the male sex in all hospitals, who assist in cutting wood, making fires, and digging in a garden, and the females who are employed in washing, ironing, and scrubbing floors, often recover, while persons, whose rank exempts them from performing such services, languish away their lives within the walls of the hospital.

Furthermore, Rush was one of the first people to describe Savant Syndrome. In 1789, he described the abilities of Thomas Fuller, an enslaved African who was a lightning calculator. His observation would later be described in other individuals by notable scientists like John Langdon Down.[59]

Rush pioneered the therapeutic approach to addiction.[60][61] Prior to his work, drunkenness was viewed as being sinful and a matter of choice. Rush believed that the alcoholic loses control over himself and identified the properties of alcohol, rather than the alcoholic’s choice, as the causal agent. He developed the conception of alcoholism as a form of medical disease and proposed that alcoholics should be weaned from their addiction via less potent substances.[62]

Rush advocated for more humane mental institutions and perpetuated the idea that people with mental illness are people who have an illness, rather than inhuman animals. He is quoted to have said, “Terror acts powerfully upon the body, through the medium of the mind, and should be employed in the cure of madness.”[63] He also championed the idea of “partial madness,” or that people could have varying degrees of mental illness.[64]

The American Psychiatric Association’s seal bears an image of Rush’s purported profile at its center.[65][66][67] The outer ring of the seal contains the words “American Psychiatric Association 1844”.[67] The Association’s history of the seal states:

The choice of Rush (1746–1813) for the seal reflects his place in history. .... Rush’s practice of psychiatry was based on bleeding, purging, and the use of the tranquilizer chair and gyrator.[a] By 1844 these practices were considered erroneous and abandoned. Rush, however, was the first American to study mental disorder in a systematic manner, and he is considered the father of American Psychiatry.

Lyrics:

Come to my door, baby,
Face is clean and shining black as night.
My mother went to answer you know
That you looked so fine.
Now I could understand your tears and your shame,
She called you “boy” instead of your name.
When she wouldn’t let you inside,
When she turned and said
“But honey, he’s not our kind.”
She says
I can’t see you any more, baby,
Can’t see you anymore.
Walk me down to school, baby,
Everybody’s acting deaf and blind.
Until they turn and say, “Why don’t you stick to your own kind.”
My teachers all laugh, the smirking stares,
Cutting deep down in our affairs.
Preachers of equality,
Think they believe it, then why won’t they just let us be?
They say I can’t see you anymore baby,
Can’t see you anymore.
One of these days I’m gonna stop my listening
Gonna raise my head up high.
One of these days I’m gonna raise up my glistening wings and fly.
But that day will have to wait for a while.
Baby I’m only society’s child.
When we’re older things may change,
But for now this is the way, they must remain.
I say I can’t see you anymore baby,
Can’t see you anymore.
No, I don’t want to see you
anymore, baby.

Le muskisme est l’idéologie libérale couplée avec la volonté d’anéantir l’homme ordinaire.
▻https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muskism_(book)

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/36/Department_of_Government_Efficiency_icon.png

Trump et Musk ont fait pareil mais ils n’ont pas d’armée comme la SA allemande ou la Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) de Modi en Inde. La transformation de l’ICE en Gestapo d’immigration ressemble davantage à l’exemple nazi.

DOGE sought to automate, media researcher Eryk Salvaggio noted, was “not paperwork but democratic decision-making.” Efficiency became the alibi for centralization. This centralization took material form in DOGE’s approach to data, which aimed to put all of the government’s information into a single repository.

Washington had pursued the dream of data integration since the PATRIOT Act; in March 2025, Trump gave another push in this direction with an executive order about “Stopping Waste, Fraud, and Abuse by Eliminating Information Silos.”

But the kind of total digital unification envisioned by DOGE was unprecedented. It found its most ambitious expression in the attempt to build a “mega API” at the IRS, which would make all taxpayer data—including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, tax returns, and employment information—accessible from one portal. The analogy to Silicon Valley platforms was deliberate. Uber had its “God view,” letting employees watch every ride in real time.

When Musk was buying Twitter, he demanded access to the platform’s “firehose”— the unfiltered stream of all user activity.36 Now the same principle was being applied to the state. Palantir was a major partner in this undertaking. The company received over $113 million in government contracts in the first months of the Trump administration for work that included making it easier to integrate information from different agencies.

Pooling data meant eliminating the legal and privacy guardrails that existed throughout the federal government. Silos are not necessarily bad things. They are spaces of privileged information. The barriers between them can be safeguards—checks against overreach, misuse, and surveillance. But from the perspective of DOGE, they were obstacles to integration.

Such integration also served the purpose of facilitating the wider introduction of AI software, another priority for DOGE. To train AI models, and to use them to replace federal workers, data needed to be centralized and standardized. At the Department of Veteran Affairs, DOGE deployed an AI script to cancel unnecessary contracts. (The model hallucinated, mistaking contracts worth thousands for those worth millions of dollars.)

DOGE also used AI to locate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) language in government policies and programs. Most startlingly, in July 2025 DOGE’s operatives announced the rollout of the “DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool,” which they promised would cut 100,000 federal regulations within six months. In particular, they vowed to save 93 percent of the human labor involved in eliminating regulations by automating away the most time-consuming aspect: namely, reviewing comments submitted by American citizens.

They boasted that hundreds of thousands of comments could be analyzed by AI almost instantly. DOGE’s endpoint was governance by AI: the state not as a space of deliberation but as lines of executable code.

As the sociologist Zeynep Tufekci observed, Musk cast himself as the “sysadmin” keeping the servers running. He reinforced the conceit with a “Tech Support” T-shirt at cabinet meetings, presenting his role in apolitical terms. But the project was deeply political. DOGE’s dream of data omniscience went beyond cost-benefit analysis or software modernization—those had been mantras of earlier administrations. For DOGE, the hunt for “waste, fraud, and abuse” blurred seamlessly into the hunt for illegitimate people: irregularities to be deleted.

Muskism was not just about trimming budgets. Scaled to society, it meant purging those deemed out of place.

The Spanish–American War[a] (April 21 – August 13, 1898) was fought between Spain and the United States in 1898. It began with the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor in Cuba, and resulted in the U.S. acquiring sovereignty over Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, and establishing a protectorate over Cuba. It represented U.S. intervention in the Cuban War of Independence and Philippine Revolution, with the latter later leading to the Philippine–American War. The Spanish–American War brought an end to almost four centuries of Spanish presence in the Americas, Asia, and the Pacific; the United States meanwhile not only became a major world power, but also gained several island possessions spanning the globe, which provoked rancorous debate over the wisdom of expansionism.

P.S. le Cuba resta une sorte de protectorat états-unien jusqu’en 1959 quand les troupes révolutionnaires de Fidel Castro et Che Guevara chassèrent le dictateur Batista.

The good content is already here; it’s just not evenly distributed

Comme #Seenthis en plus grand ?
C’est un projet de Evgeny Morozov et c’est payant.

We are a non-profit knowledge curation platform committed to defending and strengthening a well-informed public sphere. To do that, we strive to unearth, disseminate, and highlight high-quality information – without deepening public dependence on opaque algorithmic solutions pushed by Big Tech. We do so both by offering individual subscribers a “clean” feed of high-quality content – and by working with institutions (think-tanks, foundations, media, companies) who have their own bespoke information needs.

How We Do It

Artisanal automation? Yes, that’s us. Curation done right. With humans and machines. Every day, we find hundreds of intellectual gems. The gems that vanish in social media noise. We vet them. Carefully. And you only get to see the best. No noise, no distraction, no clickbait. Only the serious stuff you miss.
1.

Monitor

We start by tracking our sources. Thousands of them. Some famous. Others obscure. All of them fascinating. And we keep adding new ones. Across 60 topics. Climate and AI. Literature and populism. Migration and cities. In depth. You won’t be bored.
2.

Review

Our curators step in here. They examine everything. Thoroughly. To find refreshing voices. Voices that go against the grain. On topics that matter. Topics that everyone should be talking about. And certainly will be. For years. But you read it here first.
3.

Curate

That’s where we make your syllabus. Yes, yours. Finetune it as you want. Topics, media types, languages. You can tweak it all. Plus, our curators make editions of their own. So that you can stop wasting time on Twitter. Everything you need is here.

“The Syllabus turned up material I just never would have come across otherwise...
It’s bloody magic.”

Posez toujours des questions directes :
– « Hey Pigeot, quel est le tableau le plus célèbre de Picasso ? »

Vous pouvez entamer une vraie conversation avec votre voiture :
– « Hey Pigeot, où puis-je voir ce tableau ? »

Ou lancez un quiz sur le sujet de votre choix :
– « Hey Pigeot, on fait un quiz sur les citations célèbres ? »

Vous pouvez discuter avec votre Pigeot i-Cockpit® de différents sujets – n’oubliez pas que TchatteGéProutProut 3.5 ne pourra pas vous donner d’informations en temps réel comme les dernières nouvelles ou si votre restaurant préféré est actuellement ouvert.

Cordialement,

Comme tu le vois, tu as accès au dernier cri du dernier cri de ce qui va rendre ton voyage en pigeot bien plus confortable qu’à l’époque où tu sortais tes cartes de Trivial Pursuit ou que tu improvisais une reconnaissance des départements correspondants aux plaques minéralogiques croisées. Désormais, tu vas pouvoir poser des questions stupides à ta pigeot, mais attention, n’essaie pas de lui poser les mêmes questions qu’à ton ordiphone, ça ne marchera pas, car chez Pigeot, on n’a accès qu’au modèle d’il y a 3 ou 4 ans.

Et tu sais quoi ? J’ai droit à ces emails crétins rien que du fait que j’ai demandé à activer la notification des zones de danger dans le GPS intégré. Parce que je ne souhaite pas utiliser le GPS de mon ordiphone au travers d’Android Auto, qui est un outil 100% Google, qui n’est donc pas présent sur cet ordiphone... Bref, chuis un vieux, qui aimerait juste pouvoir continuer à rouler comme ça fonctionne depuis au bas mot 10 ans, sans nécessité de tout interconnecter.

Là, j’en suis à me demander si le GPS va accepter de fonctionner si je n’installe pas l’application Pigeot sur l’ordiphone... Les emails pour m’expliquer que pour profiter de tous les avantages offerts dans l’abonnement, il faut installer l’application, ça me met le doute. Et si moi, ça me met le doute, je te dis pas les gens qui n’ont aucun rapport avec l’informatique.

La peur du Russe pousse les Allemands à des actes absurdes, en 1945 comme en 2026.

▻https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_suicides_in_Nazi_Germany

More than 7,057 suicides were reported in Berlin in 1945, but it is thought that many went unreported due to the chaos of the post-war period Other locations where suicides happened include:

Neubrandenburg: more than 600 suicides
Burg Stargard: 120 suicides
Neustrelitz: 681 suicides
Penzlin: 230 suicides
Tessin: 107 suicides
Vietzen and Rechlin: mass suicide by drowning in Lake Müritz
Teterow, Güstrow, Rostock, Bad Doberan: hundreds of suicides each
Malchin more than 500 suicides, buried in a mass grave
Schönlanke (now Trzcianka): about 500 suicides
Stolp (now Słupsk): about 1,000 suicides
Lauenburg (now Lębork): about 600 suicides
Grünberg (now Zielona Góra): about 500 suicides
Berlin: 7,057 during 1945

Les nazis survivants, leurs collaborateurs et leurs familles ont été marqués par la défaite. Ceci concerne donc la majorité des Allemands. L’impacte psychique se fait sentir encore aujourd’hui et explique en partie pourquoi on suit volontairement le délire anti-russe des dirigeants de la nation.

30.7.202l von Friedhelm Klinkhammer & Volker Bräutigam - Regierende Bedrohungslügner gefährden den Frieden, beeinträchtigen das Kulturleben und ruinieren den Sozialstaat.

Russenhass, Russenangst. Genau danach sieht es aus, wenn ein deutscher Minister (unser kriegstüchtiger Pistorius) lieber den Krieg gegen Russland vorbereitet, statt sich strikt auf friedensbewahrende Verteidigungspolitik gemäß Grundgesetz zu beschränken. Aus Worten und Taten Präsident Putins müsse man schließen: „Es besteht eine Bedrohung, und die kann sich ab 2029 realisieren.“[1] Ach ja? Die ARD-Tagesschau, geübt in der Kunst der staatsbürgerlichen Meinungsverbildung, gab noch eins drauf: Laut Geheimdienst-„Erkenntnissen“ sei eigentlich schon 2028 damit zu rechnen.[2] Hingegen unterschlug die Regierungströte, dass Russland eine umfassende Nichtangriffsgarantie anbietet.

Außenminister Lawrow:

„Wir haben mehrmals gesagt, dass wir nicht die Absicht hatten und haben, irgendein derzeitiges Nato- oder EU-Mitglied anzugreifen. Wir sind bereit, diese Position in künftigen Sicherheitsgarantien für diesen Teil Eurasiens zu verankern.“[3]

Die Bundesregierung lehnte bekanntlich ab, ohne den Vorschlag auch nur zu prüfen.[4] Mit Russen redet unser Berliner Nulpen-Regime nicht.

„Das Deutsche Volk, von dem Willen beseelt, als gleichberechtigtes Glied in einem vereinten Europa dem Frieden der Welt zu dienen …[5] Das Deutsche Volk bekennt sich darum zu unverletzlichen und unveräußerlichen Menschenrechten als Grundlage jeder menschlichen Gemeinschaft, des Friedens und der Gerechtigkeit in der Welt.“[6]

Wie wohltuend, diese hehren Worte in unserem Grundgesetz! Nur ist das deutsche Volk kein gleichberechtigtes Mitglied in einem „vereinten Europa“ geworden, sondern (seit 1990 komplett) unter Washingtons Fuchtel geblieben. Wenn Donald Trump böse guckt, scharwenzelt Kanzler Merz vor ihm herum und gibt brav Pfötchen.[7] Und erfüllt dann die Aufträge der transatlantischen Rüstungsindustriellen.

Der vormalige CIA-Analyst Larry C. Johnson:

„Mit der lächerlichen Behauptung, dass Russland EUropa erobern und besetzen wolle, erzeugen Merz, Pistorius und überhaupt alle europäischen Kriegstreiber Massenhysterie. Warum eigentlich? Europa hat nichts mehr, was Russland braucht oder will.“[8]

Ob das einfache deutsche Volk „vom Willen zum Frieden beseelt“ ist, wissen wir nicht. Es wird ja traditionell gar nicht ernsthaft nach seinem Willen gefragt. Unübersehbar aber ist: Die herrschenden Eliten haben ihre angejahrten Friedensmasken abgelegt und betätigen sich wieder als Kriegstreiber, als menschenverachtende Rüstungslobbyisten, als Lügner, schamlose Propagandisten und gnadenlose Sozialabbau-Fetischisten.

Diese Kreise wissen zu verhindern, dass der Wille des Volkes (falls der sich überhaupt bemerkbar macht) 1:1 befolgt wird. Formen direkter Demokratie sind ihnen ein Gräuel. Deshalb bleiben Volksentscheide – „Alle Staatsgewalt geht vom Volke aus. Sie wird vom Volke in Wahlen und Abstimmungen [???] … ausgeübt“[9] – auch nur eine grundgesetzliche Option. Papier ist geduldig, wie man weiß.

Spitzenleistung an Mitleidlosigkeit

Derzeit beteiligen sich unsere Kriegslüsternen am Auslöschen einer ganzen Generation junger Männer auf den ukrainischen Schlachtfeldern – skrupellos, gewissenlos, aber angeblich zum Schutz der (west-)europäischen Freiheit und Demokratie.[10] Wehrfähigen Männern wird mit Unterstützung der Leyen-EU-Kommission und der Merz-Regierung die Ausreise aus der Ukraine in die „westliche Freiheit“ prinzipiell verwehrt[11], weil dem wildgewordenen pro-nazistischen Machthaber in Kiew (Selenskyj: Wir werden alle besiegen … Ruhm der Ukraine!“[12]) die Soldaten an der Front ausgehen.

Regierende Christdemokraten wollen neuerdings wehrfähigen Ukrainern grundsätzlich nicht mal mehr den rechtlichen Schutzstatus in Deutschland gewähren, sondern sie in den Fleischwolf des ukrainisch-russischen Krieges zurückschicken. Merz: „Die Ukraine verteidigt nicht nur ihre Freiheit, sondern auch unsere Freiheit“.[13] Jawoll, ums Verrecken! Bis zum Geht-nicht-mehr. Und damit der Korrupte in Kiew mit dem mörderischen Krieg weitermacht, hat ihn unser „vom Frieden beseeltes“ Regime in diesem Jahr schon mit (weiteren) 11,8 Milliarden Euro „Militärhilfe“ geschmiert.[14]

Die kriegsvorbereitende Politik unserer Regierung wäre gegen das Volk auf Dauer unmöglich. Da ihr vernünftige Begründungen fehlen, füllt sie die Lücke mit Desinformationen, Angstmacherei und menschenverachtender Hetze. Der Staatsfunk steht ihr dafür zu Diensten.

Der Zweck vons Janze? Verängstigte Bürger lassen sich leichter neue Steuern aufbrummen und ihren sozialen Besitzstand abluchsen. Das abgepresste Geld wird der Rüstungswirtschaft und ihrer kriegswilligen Lobby in den Rachen geschoben. Der Bürger nimmt’s hin. Die angeblich zwingend notwendigen „Verteidigungs“-Ausgaben – heuer überplanmäßig 124,7 Milliarden Euro[15] – sind schließlich für den Durchschnittsbürger nur noch eine abstrakte, nicht mehr wirklich vorstellbare Menge Geld. Und wer zur Tafel gehen muss, weil er es sich nicht einmal leisten kann, sein Essen bei Aldi oder Penny zu kaufen, dem sind unsere 2,5 Billionen Euro Staatsschulden vollends egal – so egal wie die antirussischen Bedrohungslügen.

Unsere Nazi-Vorfahren steigerten die imperialistische Russenfeindlichkeit Kaiser Wilhelms II. ins Maßlose. Propagandaminister Goebbels’ Hasstirade:

„In unserem Kampf gegen den Bolschewismus stehen wir heute nicht mehr allein. Um ihn wirksam zu bekämpfen, ist der Zusammenschluss aller gesunden Kräfte nötig. Der Bolschewismus ist grundsätzlich daran interessiert, Krieg und Verwirrung zu stiften … Der Kampf gegen den Bolschewismus ist nicht nur ein Kampf für die Erhaltung der Kultur im eigenen Land, sondern ein Kampf für den Weltfrieden.“[16]

Der Hass auf die Bolschewiki bekam zusätzlich noch die rassistische Note: „Slawische Untermenschen“ ist eine deutsche Wortschöpfung.

Nazi-Deutschland wurde zwar von der Sowjetunion (mit Unterstützung der Westalliierten) niedergerungen. Aber der deutsche Russenhass und das unerträglich arrogante Überlegenheitsdenken haben überdauert. Schon sieben Jahre nach Kriegsende schwang sich Konrad Adenauer, der erste Kanzler der Bundesrepublik, zu einem moralisierenden und die monströsen Nazi-Verbrechen relativierenden Vergleich auf:

„Die Sowjetunion ist ein noch viel größerer und viel mächtigerer und viel totalitärerer Staat, als es das nationalsozialistische Deutschland gewesen ist.“[17]

Und heutzutage? Die Frage, ob Russlands Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik Deutschland bedrohe, bejahten im Jahr 2018 nur 28 Prozent der Befragten. 2024 waren es 66 Prozent.[18] Als ob Russlands Präsident Putin im November 2021 nicht geradezu händeringend darum gebeten hätte, die bedrohliche NATO-Einflussnahme auf die Ukraine einzustellen und ein gesamteuropäisches Sicherheitskonzept zu verabreden.

Deutscher Hass auf die Befreier

Umfragen bestätigen die ungebrochen anti-russische Einstellung der deutschen Bevölkerung gegenüber ihren Befreiern vom Nationalsozialismus. Nicht überraschend, denn unsere politischen Eliten haben nie aufgehört, ihre russophoben Lehrsätze zu Dogmen zu erheben. Seit 24. Februar 2022, als Putin sich aufgrund ihrer aggressiven und subversiven Politik zum Krieg in der Ukraine provozieren ließ, legen sie mit Wonne tagtäglich ihre Platte von der „Bedrohung unserer Freiheit“ auf. Mit Erfolg, weil alle Hintergründe und Fakten über die von den USA, der NATO, der EU und speziell von Deutschland geschaffenen Kriegsursachen verschleiert und vergessen gemacht wurden:

Der Beitritts-Druck der NATO und der EU auf die Ukraine[19]. „Fuck the EU“-Nulands 5 Milliarden US-Dollar[20] zur Vorbereitung des Maidan-Putsches. Steinmeiers betrügerisches Abkommen[21] mit dem tags darauf vertriebenen Präsidenten Janukowitsch. Merkels nicht minder hinterfotziger Minsk-2-Vertrag[22], der keine Befriedung bringen, sondern Kiew Zeit zur Aufrüstung und Kriegsvorbereitung geben sollte. Mit dem Begriff „völkerrechtswidriger russischer Angriffskrieg“ wurden die Vorgeschichte, die objektiven Ursachen und die gesamte Wahrheit über den Ukrainekrieg gleichsam unter einen Betonsarkophag – wie jenen in Tschernobyl – geschoben und abgedichtet. Die Gefahr, für jedermann sichtbar als kriegslüsterne Politbetrüger dazustehen, ist damit für unsere Oberen gebannt.

Der Russenhass unseres politischen Führungspersonals wurde in allen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen selbstverständlich und normativ. Im Militär, in der Wirtschaft, im Sport, im Kulturbetrieb. Russophobie als Staatsräson: maßlos, gewissenlos, sogar strafbewehrt.[23][24] Wer gegen die Geschichtsklitterung aufmuckt und lauthals Geschichtsbewusstsein und Faktentreue reklamiert, den greift sich der Staatsanwalt.

Kostproben für Russophobie und Menschenverachtung, geliefert von unseren führenden Volksvertretern:

Außenminister Wadephul: „Russland wird immer ein Feind für uns bleiben“ (in einem Telefonat, das er vermeintlich mit engen Mitarbeitern des ukrainischen Präsidenten führte[25]; tatsächlich war er russischen Telefon-Prankstern auf den Leim gegangen).

Bundeskanzler Merz: „Wir erleben im Augenblick dieses Land (Russland) in einem Zustand der tiefsten Barbarei. Das wird sich in absehbarer Zeit auch nicht ändern, und damit müssen wir uns abfinden“[26]. Und weil Putin nach einem Sieg über die Ukraine angeblich weitere Länder angreifen werde: „Wir werden uns wieder verteidigen müssen.“[27] Bewusst oder unbewusst wiederholt Merz damit Hitlers Propaganda, der deutsche Vernichtungskrieg gegen die Sowjetunion sei als „Präventiv-Krieg“ (vorbeugende Verteidigung) gerechtfertigt.[28] Russland bzw. die Sowjetunion haben Deutschland jedoch noch nie angegriffen. Merz pflegt ein borniertes Feindbild. Das hindert ihn, die angebrachte Lehre aus der verheerenden deutschen Geschichte zu ziehen und seine Politik entsprechend friedensdienlich zu gestalten.

Ostlandreiter in Aufbruchstimmung

Merz’ bösartige Sprücheklopferei ist ein Fingerzeig darauf, dass die deutsche Bourgeoisie nie verwunden hat, von den „Barbaren“ im Osten besiegt worden zu sein – und dass sie nach wie vor revanchistische Gedanken pflegt.[29]

Klar, dass die regierende Politblase einen auf Saubermann macht und betont, ihre Hasstiraden richteten sich nur gegen die „verbrecherische“ russische Regierung, nicht gegen das russische Volk. Auch dieses Nonsens-Bekenntnis hat üble Tradition. Beispiel: Am Tag des Angriffs auf die Sowjetunion, am 22. Juni 1941, schnauzte Adolf Hitler im Reichsrundfunk:

„Niemals hat das deutsche Volk gegen die Völkerschaften Russlands feindselige Gefühle gehegt. Nicht Deutschland hat jemals versucht, seine nationalsozialistische Weltanschauung nach Russland zu tragen, sondern die jüdisch-bolschewistischen Machthaber in Moskau haben es unentwegt unternommen, unseren und anderen europäischen Ländern ihre Herrschaft aufzuoktroyieren …“[30]

Das Ergebnis der nicht gehegten „feindseligen Gefühle gegen die russischen Völkerschaften“ ist bekannt: 27 Millionen ermordete Sowjetmenschen. Jeder achte Bewohner ein Kriegstoter. (In Deutschland bei 6,3 Millionen Kriegstoten jeder elfte.)

Deutsche Politik „nur“ gegen den Kreml, nicht gegen die russische Bevölkerung? Pure Heuchelei, denn mit Wirtschaftssanktionen („Russland ruinieren“[31]) wird die Bevölkerung drangsaliert, weil man sie zwingen will, ihre Regierung zu entmachten und dem Westen genehme, fügsame Nachfolger zu akzeptieren. Die gleiche Absicht stand hinter dem Plan der Brüsseler Domina von der Leyen und ihres Berliner Kumpans Merz, 300 Milliarden Euro eingefrorenes russisches Staatsvermögen zu klauen, die schließlich nicht Putin, sondern der russischen Bevölkerung gehören.[32] Auch trifft die mittelbare Kriegsbeteiligung auf Seiten der Ukraine nicht Putin, sondern breite Teile der Bevölkerung. Vor allem, weil Deutschland massenhaft tödliche Waffen liefert.

O-Ton Merz:

„Russland ist kulturell, literarisch und musikalisch ein zutiefst europäisches Land und im ganzen Land von europäischer Kultur geprägt.“[33]

Jottchen, welch nagelneue Erkenntnis! Des Kanzlers Würdigung passt natürlich nahtlos in den neuen Umgang mit russischer Kultur und Kulturträgern:

Dem Stardirigenten Valery Gergiev wurde als Chefdirigent der Münchner Philharmoniker gekündigt, da er sich trotz Aufforderung nicht vom Krieg gegen die Ukraine distanzierte.[34]
Die berühmte Opernsängerin Anna Netrebko tritt, weil ähnlich drangsaliert, gleich gar nicht mehr im Ausland auf.[35]
Russland wurde von mehreren Filmfestspielen (z.B. Venedig) und vom Eurovision Song Contest verbannt.[36]
Kultur-Institutionen – wie die Kunstbiennale in Venedig – die es wagen, russische Künstler einzuladen, werden geächtet, zugesagte Fördermittel verweigert.[37]

Auch auf dem Büchermarkt zeigen sich die Auswirkungen der systematisch forcierten Russophobie. Russische Literatur ist out. Der Markt ist eingebrochen.[38]

Im Sport schlug die russophobe Politik ähnlich durch. In fast allen Sportwettbewerben herrschte Teilnahmeverbot für Russen. Gelegentlich gab es Ausnahmen, aber nur unter erzwungenem Verzicht auf das Tragen der russischen Staatsflagge und das Abspielen der Nationalhymne.

Als das Internationale Paralympische Komitee (IPK) zur Olympiade 2022 die Teilnahme russischer und weißrussischer Sportler befürwortete, drohten vor allem die deutschen Sportfunktionäre mit Boykott. Das Komitee vollzog daraufhin eine Kehrtwende und schloss die Russen aus.[39] Als die Verbände im Internationalen Paralympischen Komitee heuer nach mehrheitlichen Abstimmungen in ihren Gremien die Sperren doch aufhoben (auch das Verbot der russischen Flagge und Nationalhymne), beschloss der deutsche Verband, die Eröffnungsfeier der Paralympics zu boykottieren. Klar, dass auch die deutsche Politaufsicht, Sportstaatsministerin Schenderlein (CDU), in Vertretung ihres Kanzlers Merz die Eröffnungsfeier boykottierte.[40],[41]

Den Widersinn dieser angeblich nur auf Putins Regierung zielenden Sanktionspolitik haben wichtige Sportverbände inzwischen begriffen. Sie hoben die Verbote auf.[42]

Konsequenzen der Russophobie

Die regierungsamtliche Russenfeindlichkeit hat Konsequenzen für uns alle. Man bestimmt inzwischen sogar, welche russischen Medien wir nicht nutzen dürfen. Von Thomas Jeffersons Mahnung: „Nur die Lüge braucht die Stütze der Staatsgewalt. Die Wahrheit steht von alleine aufrecht“[43] lassen sich unsere Zensoren nicht irritieren. Man verbietet uns zeitweise, zum Gedenken an die gefallenen sowjetischen Befreier an den Ehrenmalen in Berlin sowjetische Flaggen zu zeigen. Offiziellen russischen Repräsentanten wird gar die gemeinsame Teilnahme mit uns an Befreiungsfeiern in den ehemaligen KZs (Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen u.a.) verwehrt.[44] Die Verwaltung der KZ-Gedenkstätte Dachau ließ im Mai einen Tag nach einer Gedenkfeier, an der auch der russische Botschafter und der belarussische Generalkonsul teilgenommen hatten, von deren Kränzen die Schleifen in den russischen und belarussischen Nationalfarben abschneiden.[45] Niederträchtig, schändlich …

Verstörende Folgen des russlandfeindlichen Kurses: 88 Prozent der Westdeutschen und 77 Prozent der Ostdeutschen sehen mittlerweile in Russland eine Bedrohung für die Sicherheit in der Welt.[46] Und wie sehen die Russen uns Deutsche? Früher fanden uns über 80 Prozent der Russen gut. Noch im Jahr 2010 sah kaum ein Russe Deutschland als gefährlich an. Heute betrachtet eine Mehrheit (55 Prozent) Deutschland als Hauptfeind.[47]

Unsere führenden Giftspritzen Merz und Pistorius werden diesen Anteil weiter wachsen lassen. Sie haben schon das Fundament gelegt für den nächsten Krieg gegen Russland. Den wir gemäß historischer Gesetzmäßigkeit erneut verlieren werden. Ein Aberwitz, diese Berliner Aggressivität gegenüber der Atommacht Russland! Aber es gibt ja so viele schöne Rüstungsmilliarden zu verpulvern …

Und diese Mischpoke hetzt weiter. Merz: „Der [Ukraine-]Krieg endet erst, wenn Russland wenigstens wirtschaftlich, wenn nicht auch militärisch erschöpft ist, und darauf bewegen wir uns hin“. [48] „Wir werden der Ukraine weiter helfen … Die Mittel der Diplomatie sind ausgeschöpft.“[49] So schwadroniert ein Kanzler, der noch kein einziges Mal mit Putin gesprochen hat und stur jeglichen Kontakt mit ihm ablehnt.

Der eingangs bereits zitierte CIA-Analytiker Larry C. Johnson über unseren Kanzler:

„Da haben wir es wieder – ein kleiner Junge mit einer Zustimmungsrate von 21 % treibt Deutschland in den Ruin. Das zeigt, dass dieser intellektuelle Zwerg in einem langen Körper sich selbst als neuen Führer sieht, denn ein echter Führer kümmert sich nicht um Zustimmungswerte.“[50]

Wir Deutsche haben keine äußeren Feinde, nur innere. Die sind benennbar: Geldaristokraten, Rüstungs-Industrielle und Kriegsbereitschafts-Politiker wie Merz, Pistorius und ihre Spießgesellen. Dazu kommen die regierungshörigen Massenmedien mit ihrer weit fortgeschrittenen Verblödung der Gesamtbevölkerung – bei nachhaltig unzureichendem Bildungsangebot.

Ach, liebe gute Leute: Die beste Verteidigung besteht darin, FREUNDE zu gewinnen!

Deputy Mayor and Municipal Treasurer ("Stadtkaemmerer"; since 1940) Dr. jur. Ernst Kurt Lisso ( March 7, 1892; † April 18, 1945), at desk; his wife Renate Stephanie, born Luebbert ( April 12, 1895; † April 18, 1945), in chair; and their daughter Regina Lisso (* May 24, 1924;[1] † April 18, 1945[2]) after committing suicide by cyanide in the Leipzig New Town Hall (Neues Rathaus) to avoid capture by American soldiers of the 69th Infantry and 9th Armored Divisions as they closed in on the city. Regina Lisso wears the armband of the German Red Cross. Also found dead in the Rathaus was Mayor ("Oberbuergermeister") Alfred Freyberg and his wife and daughter and former mayor and battalion leader of the Volkssturm (erroneously described as a “Volkssturm General”) Kurt Walter Doenicke as well as several Volksturm officers. The 777th Tank Destroyer Battalion’s official history says the Americans overshot the Rathaus because of old maps on April 18, and the assault began the next morning on April 19. American tanks fired on the Rathaus from 7:30 to 9:10, when a captured German officer carried in a surrender ultimatum. The Rathaus commander accepted the terms at 9:30. The Americans captured one major general, 175 enlisted men, and thirteen Gestapo police. The American flag was raised over the Rathaus around noon. The scene of the Lisso suicides was extensively photographed by Robert Capa, Margaret Bourke-White, and Lee Miller, as well as the United States Army Signal Corps. For reasons that remain unclear, the Freyberg family was not photographed.
