Anyone Who Really Wanted To See It Could See It.

Anyone who really wanted to see it could see it.

Everything that results from this in the present is the result of a process of omitting unutilised opportunities for the common future.

Mutual forgetting and mutual forgiveness can solve the problems of both.

Even if it sounds impossible, bring those who were and are responsible to justice and start again.

This without mutual recompense of suffering, no matter how great it was, will only create new hatred and incomprehension.

Jimmy Carter in 2007. This is the man who brokered the most important peace deal in Israel's history. Israel's existence as an apartheid state isn't new. It isn't some "Communists in College don't know history" talking point bullshit.

As Carter says, Americans don't know this because they don't want to know. We've been able to ignore and look past the Apartheid because it was just too easy for us not to look.

It has only grown worse in the past 17 years.

Apocalypse Now is a 1979 anti-war film by director Francis Ford Coppola set during the Vietnam War. It is loosely based on Joseph Conrad's story Heart of Darkness and Michael Herr's Vietnam War report Dispatches.

Dispatches (book) - Wikipedia

Heart of Darkness (original title: Heart of Darkness) is a story by Joseph Conrad that was first published in three installments in Blackwood's Magazine in 1899 and was also published in book form in November 1902. In this story, the sailor Charlie Marlow tells friends about his journey in Central Africa as captain of a river steamer. There he witnessed unprecedented cruelty towards the natives and increasingly doubted the justifications for exploitation, but his influential London friends involved in the exploitation of colonies were unimpressed by Marlow's shock.

Conrad's narrative is a contribution to the discussion of English colonialism and racism at the end of Queen Victoria's reign. The story, too short for a novel and too long for a novella, is now considered one of the most important works of prose in the English language.

Plato's words, “Only the dead have seen the end of war”, convey a profound insight into the nature of war and its ongoing devastation. For many, war means loss, trauma and despair.

The film impressed me so much because of the images about the truthfulness of the absolute disappearance of the thin layer of our human civilization in the transition to darkness.

For this reason, I am a pacifist because any means of violence shows the failure of human civilization.

You have to understand pacifism in an absolutely new form, you don't hold out the other hand when you are beaten! Instead, you do everything in advance to avoid being hit. Should all this fail, one considers oneself a defensive pacifist and defends oneself by all means.

If you don't show the street thugs a red line, you are just a victim. Unconditional pacifism only works with civilized people, but not with power-abusing, egotistical, self-absorbed beings who think they belong to the human species.

We as humanity are constantly proving that we learn nothing from history, and that across generations.

The Magdeburg Wedding (also known as the Blood Wedding, Magdeburg's Sacrifice or, more generally, Magdeburgization) refers to the conquest and complete devastation of the city of Magdeburg by imperial troops under Tilly and Pappenheim on 10 May / 20 May 1631greg. in the course of the Thirty Years' War.

Magdeburgizing

A term for the destruction of a city, a completely barbaric arbitrary targeted violence against normal people of a city by an army has created this word. Long forgotten but still highly current.

The devastation went so far that Magdeburg went down in the history of the Thirty Years' War as a symbol of destruction and cruelty with the term “Magdeburgizing”.

3,000 dollar tent for Cybertruck causes little enthusiasm

The Basecamp attachment looks completely different to the originally advertised design, and the ‘tent mode’ in the instructions doesn't even exist yet.

Our recommendation: sewing it yourself is cheaper.

Or...... old concept.

Why is the Cybertruck not authorised in Germany?

According to a TÜV expert, Tesla's Cybertruck would not be authorised in Germany. Occupants are therefore not safe in the electric pick-up - ‘even airbags won't help’

Why does the Cybertruck rust?

Causes of rust formation on the Cybertruck

One theory is that so-called ‘rail dust’, metallic particles that get onto the vehicle during transport by train and later start to rust, could be responsible for the rust spots.

Yes, of course my Audi also came by train, but this rail-dust probably doesn't exist here as it's complete rubbish.

Please investigate scientifically why other car manufacturers have totally solved the problem.

Since mid-April, Greek ferries no longer take electric cars with a battery that is too full. That must be because of the weight, right?

Question: Belongs to Elon Musk - letter X can only be used for a fee?

The Financial Times has reported that @xAI is seeking investment of up to $6bn at a valuation of $20bn. Note: Elon has basically denied the numerous recent reports that xAI is raising money.

Tesla the inventor was a genius, the Tesla brand is just the toy of a hasardeur with a maker myth.

Everything he does is as sustainable as trying to put out a big fire with a bucket.

It's all about generating money, that's ok, but he's not the man for a new utopia. He's just the man who can make money from the future.

When a man's ego is so big that everyone gives him money because he makes even more money out of it. It's probably just greed.... At some point, he does charity work to improve his image. So this is a mafia boss taking care of the children of the lawyer he killed. A complete joke. I love it when they think they are benefactors of mankind, first driving up grain prices on the commodity exchange and making fat money. While the world food organisation can't help people because of the high costs. But then they open a poor kitchen in Chicago. The example can be applied to anything and is called exploitation.

Where has the truthfulness gone with all the believers? Where is the humanity? Where is the humility? Where is the compassion? Where is the love for every creature? Where do all the injuries come from that turn into insults?

How could all the hatred, resentment and all the other non-Christian attributes have caused this?

If it happened, explain it to us.

Really well summarized:

The problem has emerged at some point “the perceived reality” or, worse, the alternative facts which are not facts or have anything to do with reality at all.

Only porn stars have to prove that they have a big cock the rest of the political society can just claim what they want without any restrictions based on ethical principles.

By the way, my cock is 30 cm long, which is the same for all French people. Not for women, but who knows. I only used the metric system to make the number appear larger. I'm not French either, but they have the quality of being good lovers. Which they don't have to prove. Smile

Stop lying to us

We can't stand this crap anymore, where are the demands on themselves with all these people. Journalists, politicians, media professionals and the rest, why study and do scientific work? A life without decency and morals, free of ethical principles such as truth is a great good, can easily be replaced by mindless bullshit with no outcome and for a lot of money.

Stop distorting reality, there is only one and it can be measured since man crawled out of the cave.

the first early man would have given the second early man hell if he had sent him 30 miles away to kill the non-existent mammoth. Where are your professional ethics or your claim to truth.

One thing you can only notice is that the educationally disadvantaged classes have probably got a job.

Well, we always thought that education would protect us from false information and disinformation, but I guess we were wrong.

Dear friends of the oceans,

UN World Oceans Day 2024, which has been around since 2008 and dates back to the Earth Summit in Rio in 1992. The aim is to draw attention to the threat to the world's oceans and their importance for life on our planet.

This year, the motto of the World Day is “Awaken New Depths”. Because, according to the UN: “The knowledge about the catastrophic state of the ocean is clear. Yet we are not listening. To create broad momentum for the ocean, we need to awaken new depths." Last year's UN World Oceans Day was held under the more positive motto “Tides are changing”.

Those who live in a world must also participate in it and maintain it. Selfishness is great here, who wants to live in a burning house that is completely full of rubbish?

No one shits where they live! To put it in plain language.

Everyone can contribute a part to the whole, no matter how small it is. All parts together create a gigantic picture of a better future for us all.
