Hatred. Its an odd thing.  Something that remains after the cause of anger is gone. I have been looking at the absolute corruption of the mRNA injections and excess deaths. Much more information now. This utterly corrupt world. The political scam of covid then straight into the scam of Ukraine. Both trading lives for dollars. 
Covid the initial conflict centered on the American consulate. The massive scams of the Pfizer and Moderna injections. Those that died from the pentagon big, those that died, with the American injections. Those the are dying in the conflict in Ukraine. Those that have been brainwashed with Ukraine. Those that have been brainwashed in the west. It makes me angry.

Living in a vassal state. The number of Ukroid types that believe the media here. Its unbelievable. Cannon fodder.

I can report that the MSM Ukraine narrative is steadily losing traction over here. The growth rate should follow a sigmoid function, btw.
 
I have a good a watermark on that. A musician from my old hometown has taken it upon him to embrace his role as a public person and defend Europe against Putin. He’s done so for years, and I assume he’s been losing some sleep over it. He also does this on facebook, where I can see the mounting pushback.

The US Russia stuff. To me, nationalist US wanted detente with Russia so US could attack Russia’s allies. Get the Venezuela oil, Iran and Persian gulf oil and take down China’s economy. Trump with the resource deal on Ukraine, US taking over nord stream ect.
 
To me, western mining tech and oil and gas tech is quite good, but what the Americans don’t have so much is arctic tech. US needs cheap oil, needs cheap energy. That peace proposal with the larger portion of Russia’s frozen assets to go to joint US Russia projects. Alaska and Russian arctic tech.
 
This was interesting.

Re: mounting pushback

Peter, you really should connect them, not necessarily to adopt any of their attitudes or thoughts, but in  the case of conversations  you just were having in order to see more clearly the origins of political hatred and political anger as Plato saw clearly through the teachings of Socrates. 
 
Don’t accept what I or others pontificate about their ‘philosophies’ – just go and read something they actually said.  Plato’s dialogues are available to us, they are the first and best;  and the one we usually start with is called ‘The Meno’.   He and his two brothers, Adeimantus and Glaucon, were young men at the time Socrates lived and died, and were his students.  This is philosophy in action, not different from how we try to puzzle things out these days.  I think it helps to see similarities that have come before our time — you do it with the aborigines so well — it is the same sort of exploration, worth doing.
 
Socrates was walking around Athens at a time when rhetoric was the way propaganda was spread by the politicians of the day.   The youth needed an alternative voice, like the one we have here, b.  They didn’t have tv, they didn’t have the internet, but they did have Socrates.  He would question the rhetoricians out in public, often exposing what they were about as false.  In the end it cost him his life.  Plato’s dialogues are a record of this,   telling the story of his teacher and how he taught.   It’s not just a philosophical thought matrix — it’s the story of a life lived as we here live it, searching for truth.
 
They were as we are, not different in any way, facing the same dilemmas we do — even with a clarity we’ve lost.  Plato started an Academy which lasted nearly a thousand years, and his description of Socrates’ methods of teaching is the important thing to discover; it has lasted to this day as an effective method to teach students to think for themselves.
 
But hey, no biggie.  😉

I did so and was puzzled to find it had a huge gap from the 23rd  to the 27th, psychohistorian.  Which I am happy to see now has disappeared, (the gap I mean), even if my one this evening is now gone.  Que sera, sera.

A good summary of the status by Xinhuanet
 

BISSAU, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) — Election observation missions of several African regional organizations on Wednesday voiced concern over the post-election situation in Guinea-Bissau, calling for restoring constitutional order and preserving national stability.
The call was made in a joint statement issued in the capital Bissau, which was jointly signed by Filipe Jacinto Nyusi, head of the African Union (AU) Election Observation Mission and former president of Mozambique; Issifu Baba Braimah Kamara, head of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) election observation mission; and Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, chairman of the West African Elders Forum and former president of Nigeria.
Guinea-Bissau launched its presidential and legislative elections on Sunday, with more than 960,000 registered voters set to choose a new head of state and 102 members of the National People’s Assembly.
On Wednesday, armed forces operating under the name “the High Military Command for the Restoration of National Security and Public Order” announced that they had assumed full powers of the country and imposed several emergency measures, with the ongoing electoral process immediately suspended.
The military said the move was intended to respond to the actions of certain politicians attempting to destabilize the country.
According to the joint statement, the three missions took note that the elections proceeded in an orderly and peaceful manner. The missions commended the civic engagement demonstrated by the Bissau-Guinean people and acknowledged the professionalism shown by polling staff, security forces, as well as representatives of candidates and political parties throughout the voting process.
The missions expressed “deep concern” over the announcement of the coup d’etat by the armed forces, which came shortly after the missions concluded meetings with the two main presidential candidates, both of whom had affirmed their commitment to respecting the will of the people.
Describing the attempted disruption as “regrettable,” the missions said that it undermines the democratic gains achieved so far.
The statement condemned any attempt to undermine the democratic process and called on the AU and ECOWAS to take necessary measures to help restore constitutional order in the country.
The missions also voiced concern over the detention of senior officials, including those responsible for managing the electoral process. The statement urged the armed forces to immediately release the detained individuals to allow the electoral process to continue normally until its completion.

Military coups are the way forward for African states to decolonize.
 
The AU and ECOWAS are tools of colonialism.

Graphene OS, a private OS with supposedly no western government backdoor access, is being heavily targeted by the French state.
 
 

 A very important announcement from the GrapheneOS devs: GrapheneOS is being heavily targeted by the French state because we provide highly secure devices and won’t include backdoors for law enforcement access. They’re conflating us with companies selling closed source products using portions of our code.
 
Both French state media and corporate media are publishing many stories attacking the GrapheneOS project based on false and unsubstantiated claims from French law enforcement. They’ve made a clear threat to seize our servers and arrest our developers if we do not cooperate by adding backdoors. Due to this, we’re leaving France and leaving French service providers including OVH.
 
We need substantial help from the community to push back against this across platforms. People malicious towards us are also using it as an opportunity to spread libel/harassment content targeting our team, raid our chat rooms and much more. /e/ and iodéOS are both based in France, and are both actively attacking GrapheneOS including spreading false narratives about it not being for regular people which helped to support the false narratives being propagated by French law enforcement.
 
/e/ receives substantial government funding. Both are extremely non-private and insecure which is why France is targeting us while those get government funding.
 
We need a lot more help than usual and we’re sending our the first ever notification to everyone on the server because this is a particularly bad situation. If people help us, it will enable us to focus more on development again including releasing experimental Pixel 10 releases very soon.

I guess you are right there juliania. Thinking about the way you put it – I guess all these things are just part of human character that go back through the ages. Times change and circumstance change, but human character remains unchanged.

Watching Ukraine and the massive financial scam it is, the going back and taking an updated look at the injection roll out, particularly Pfizer – this rotten west is corrupt to the core, making billions from the deaths of hundreds of thousands. While writing this, Soylent Green comes to mind.

I know four who got cancer … one of them is dead now. That guy wasn’t really pro-vax but he felt it was the right thing to do.
 
Another guy had a skin cancer, not uncommon … fairly easy treatment.
 
The other two are the type who believe anything an authority figure tells them, yet somehow always seem to think it’s their own opinion. Both of them had a seriously tough time with treatment but so far seem to have come out of it OK. I genuinely wish them well and don’t blame them for their lack of self determination.
 
Thing is … I don’t know a huge number of people in real life … so four with cancer just in recent years has rattled me a bit.
 
I personally didn’t go anywhere near the jabber crap … but some younger folks in the family got railroaded into taking it and so far no obvious side effects … but it does keep me up some nights. I hate the fact that you can’t really say anything, but for starters people just don’t listen anyhow, and even if they did listen, those dice have been cast.
