The Day After. - by Aurelien


#geopolitics #Europe #war

The "natural" European order is war. "German rearmament" is a particularly frightening prospect to anyone with more than 2 functioning neurons.

We have tended to forget since 1945 that Europe’s habit of producing more history than it can consume, and its endless historical, cultural and territorial disputes that generated this history, have not actually gone away, but have just been repressed and concealed. Like some traumatic childhood memory they are still there, waiting to resurface.

Guerre en Ukraine : ce que Jacques Baud oublie de dire… [ exterminisme]


Dans cette vidéo déjà partagées des centaines de fois et vues par des milliers d’internaute, le philosophe marxiste Georges Gastaud montre que les analyses géopolitiques de Jacques Baud nécessitent pour donner prise à l’action un détour par l’analyse marxiste de l’exterminisme capitalisme et de l’hégémonisme euro-atlantiste, UE et Macronat en tête.

At least 10 people sickened in US listeria outbreak linked to prepared foods


The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Saturday that federal, state and local officials are investigating the outbreak linked to foods produced by Fresh & Ready Foods LLC of San Fernando, California. The FDA says the 10 people who fell ill were in California and Nevada, and required hospitalization.

The agency said the products were sold in Arizona, California, Nevada and Washington at locations including retailers and food service points of sale, including hospitals, hotels, convenience stores, airports and by airlines.

Federal officials said they started investigating the recent outbreak last year but didn’t have enough evidence to identify a source of the infections. They said the investigation was reopened in April when FDA investigators found listeria in samples collected from Fresh & Ready Foods that matched the strain from the outbreak.

DOGE has devoured Musk - UnHerd


#politics #USA #DOGE #mafia

So why pick the GSA rather than somewhere more “woke”, somewhere more traditionally associated with the so-called deep state? Well, because this is where one goes if one wants to asset-strip the federal government. Shortly after DOGE moved into the GSA, and started firing pretty much everyone, the GSA posted an extraordinary list of buildings they had supposedly identified as “non-critical”. This list (which was later revised, and then taken down entirely) actually included close to half of all properties owned by the federal government, including buildings like the FBI headquarters and the Department of Justice building. The GSA added that it was now open to “creative solutions” to go along with these sales, including the idea of leasing back these properties once they had been sold.

Ho sentito di nuovo mia suocera, che è contrariata perché ancora io e la figlia non abbiamo scopato in questa settimana. Dice che sono un frocio coglione perché non riesco a impormi come dovrebbe fare un vero uomo, reclamando il mio diritto ad essere sessualmente soddisfatto. Più tardi mi ha dato appuntamento per un' altra videochiamata con sega e sborrata comandata. Dice che non devo far passare più di tre giorni dall'ultima sborrata, altrimenti lo sperma perde fertilità. Vuole questo nipote.

Es gibt viele Leute welche das Bekenntnis der Partei Die Linke zur JDA (Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism) als führende Definition von Antisemitismus kritisieren. Jedoch Ich muss sagen: Ich stehe voll und ganz hinter dieser Entscheidung.

Doch warum? Was gibt es an der IHRA Definition zu kritisieren?

Im Oktober letztes Jahr kritisierte Ich bereits den Zentralrat der Juden, weil er die Pläne der Ampel-Regierung die Waffenlieferungen an Israel an das Einhalten von Völkerrecht zu koppeln, als „Zumutung” beschrieb.

Ich finde das Einhalten von Völkerrecht, oder die Forderung dies zu tun, in keinem Kontext eine Zumutung.

Weniger als zwei Monate später wurde mit der „Antisemitismus-Resolution” (beschlossen unter Beifall und Klatschen der AfD) gerechtfertigt, das Waffenlieferungen an Israel legitim seien, so berichtet die LTO.

In beiden Fällen wird auf der Basis der IHRA Definition von Antisemitismus etwas gerechtfertigt was mit Antisemitismus nichts zu tun hat: Waffenlieferungen. Darüber hinaus auch noch Waffenlieferungen mit denen Flüchtlingslager bombardiert wurden, in Syrien oder den Libanon einmarschiert wurde, sowie Siedlerkolonialismus und ein Genozid begangen wird.

Wir leben in einer Zeit in der die Springer-Presse & AfD die Debatte rundum Antisemitismus stark vereinnahmt haben. Laut dem „Manifest für Deutschland” welches die BILD einst verfasste, müsste man im Namen des Kampfes gegen den Antisemitismus Muslime aus Deutschland abschieben, um gegen den „importierten Antisemitismus” (eine ausgedachte AfD Rhetorik) vorzugehen. [Quelle: Bild]

Die Bild schreibt also das wofür sie eh immer bereits stand, doch nun im Namen des Kampfes gegen den Antisemitismus?

Zeitgleich veröffentlicht ein Ex-Sprecher der IDF (Israelisches Militär) eine Liste der „Top 10 Antisemiten Deutschlands” worunter sich kein Rechtsextremist, sondern ausschließlich palästinasolidarische, Linke, und oder progressive Menschen, darunter auch Journalisten, befinden. [Quelle: Twitter].

Anfang dieses Jahres lobte der Antisemitismusbeauftragte der Bundesregierung, welcher selbst auf Basis der IHRA Definition von Antisemitismus agiert, die Auschlöschungspläne Gazas von Donald Trump. Ich verstehe nicht wie jemand im Namen des Kampfes gegen den Antisemitismus einen Faschisten wie Trump gutheißen, und zeitgleich für die ethnische Säuberung von über zwei Millionen Menschen plädieren kann.

Da der Fokus dieser Debatte, trotz 20% AfD und dem Aufkommen der neuen Rechten, fast ausschließlich auf den existierenden israelbezogenen Antisemitismus, aber auch auf Israelkritik welcher als Antisemitismus benannt wird, liegt, muss sich etwas verändern.

Wir müssen den Schutz jüdischen Lebens wieder in den Vordergrund stellen, und das Wort „Antisemitismus” nicht durch solch eine Inflationäre Verwendung um Abschiebungen oder Waffenlieferungen zu rechtfertigen weichwaschen.

Unter solchen Umständen braucht es eine Definition von Antisemitismus welche Israelkritik und israelbezogenen Antisemitismus klar definieren kann. Aufgrund der vorher genannten Beispiele sehe Ich die IHRA Definition dafür nicht geeignet. Ist die JDA perfekt? Nein, meine große Kritik an der JDA bezieht sich auf die nicht ausgiebig benannte historische Komponente von Antisemitismus, welcher bekanntlich lange vor der NS-Zeit ein Phänomen war. Dabei vertieft sich die IHRA.

Ohne sie also als perfekte Lösung zu bezeichnen, sehe Ich daher mit Vorbehalt die Bekenntnis zur JDA als einen Schritt in die richtige Richtung.

in reply to Erik Uden 🍑

Als Ergänzung dazu: einer der Autoren der IHRA sagt mittlerweile ganz klar, dass so wie diese aktuell angewendet wird - als repressives Instrument der Rechten - die IHRA-Definition dem Kampf gegen den Antisemitismus eher behindert als dienlich ist. (Seine Stellungnahme: judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media… )

Und gerade der Punkt dass diese Definition vor allem von der AfD, von Trump, von Orban und Netanyahu befürwortet wird sollte uns schon sehr skeptisch machen.

Es ist ja auch bezeichnend, dass die meisten derer die die JDA verdammen, und die IHRA als quasi gottgegeben darstellen idR auch die sind, die absolut nicht dazu in der Lage sind auch nur wenige kritische Worte über die in den palästinensischen Gebieten stattfindenden Verbrechen der israelischen Regierung zu sagen, trotz all der Zerstörung, all den Toten und denen die dort gerade verhungern.

Mal ne Frage an die #FollowerPower: Wenn ich eine #Eisenpfanne einbrenne, was mache ich mit dem äußeren Rand? Ich habe eine ziemlich gute Anleitung gefunden, aber zu dem Thema sagt sie nichts.
in reply to Birne Helene

ich finde das thema noch nicht ganz ausgeschöpft...
eisenpfannen...
habe ich erwähnt, dass ich eisenpfannenaromachecker bin?
da wir hier unter uns sind, verrate ich euch wie man das macht:
pfannkuchenteig (mit ei oder vegan ist egal) und dann ersten pfannkuchen... hmmm... meist weiß man sofort was es zum letzten essen gab.
der zweite pfannkuchen enthüllt die zweite note, da ist so ein hauch von persönlichkeit zu schmecken (ähnlich wie ein holzkochlöffel, der gerne und oft mitgekocht wird)
der dritte zeigt dann genau, ob du oberliga bist ❤

wer lädt mich zum essen ein?

Sapendo che con la mia lei, tra ciclo e influenza, non lo facciamo da più di una settimana (poiché sono tenuto a informarla in segreto della frequenza e della modalità di ogni nostro rapporto), mia suocera mi ha imposto di mandarle un video in cui mi sono dovuto riprendere integralmente mentre mi segavo nudo e sborravo in un bicchiere. Ha poi esaminato la quantità di sperma dal bicchiere ben in evdenza nel video per controllare non mi fossi segato prima da solo senza il suo permesso.

I agree with this post with all my heart, and I practice this kind of silence in all areas of my life, probably more often than not.

But to bring balance, I would just say this:

There are also times when you must speak, when you must stand, when you must rise up and risk saying what you believe. Because is the right thing to do. And it is the right thing in the moment.

Peace.

FSF's Free Software definition:

  1. The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
  2. The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
  3. The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
  4. The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

OSI's Open Source definition:

The Open Source Definition
Page created on July 7, 2006 | Last modified on February 16, 2024>
Introduction
Open source doesn’t just mean access to the source code. The distribution terms of open source software must comply with the following criteria:
  1. Free Redistribution
    The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.
  2. Source Code
    The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in source code as well as compiled form. Where some form of a product is not distributed with source code, there must be a well-publicized means of obtaining the source code for no more than a reasonable reproduction cost, preferably downloading via the Internet without charge. The source code must be the preferred form in which a programmer would modify the program. Deliberately obfuscated source code is not allowed. Intermediate forms such as the output of a preprocessor or translator are not allowed.
  3. Derived Works
    The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software.
  4. Integrity of The Author’s Source Code
    The license may restrict source-code from being distributed in modified form only if the license allows the distribution of “patch files” with the source code for the purpose of modifying the program at build time. The license must explicitly permit distribution of software built from modified source code. The license may require derived works to carry a different name or version number from the original software.
  5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups
    The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons.
  6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor
    The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.
  7. Distribution of License
    The rights attached to the program must apply to all to whom the program is redistributed without the need for execution of an additional license by those parties.
  8. License Must Not Be Specific to a Product
    The rights attached to the program must not depend on the program’s being part of a particular software distribution. If the program is extracted from that distribution and used or distributed within the terms of the program’s license, all parties to whom the program is redistributed should have the same rights as those that are granted in conjunction with the original software distribution.
  9. License Must Not Restrict Other Software
    The license must not place restrictions on other software that is distributed along with the licensed software. For example, the license must not insist that all other programs distributed on the same medium must be open source software.
  10. License Must Be Technology-Neutral
    No provision of the license may be predicated on any individual technology or style of interface.

The Open Source Definition was originally derived from the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG).

Version 1.9, last modified, 2007-03-22

Here’s the historical “Annotated OSD” from the early 2000’s.


I remember there being a 50something point definition from OSI, back when I started... but even in this 10 point version...

Do you agree to be held to all those points? Do you agree to hold others to those points? Do you have the right interpretation of their ambiguities? Do you have impeccably high moral standing such that you would not commit abuses by abusing the letter of the poorly written "law"? Do you agree to all future version changes?

Free Software's definition does not seem to want to change as much, nor tries impart more than it is. Free Software definition, itself, like that part of "unix philosophy". Do one thing, well.

I know which I prefer.

As defined,
Which do you prefer?

  • Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
  • Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
  • Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
  • Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
  • Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
  • Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
  • Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
  • Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
  • Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
  • Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
  • Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
  • Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
  • Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
  • Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
  • Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
  • Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
  • Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
  • Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
  • Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
  • Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.

  • Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
  • Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
  • Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
  • Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
  • Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
  • Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
  • Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.


Look at this horse. Beautiful, tremendous horse, maybe the best horse ever made, and they say it’s a gift from the Greeks. I love the Greeks, great country, great baklava. Some people, the haters, the fake news crowd, they said, “Don’t take it, Mr. President, it’s a trick!” But I know deals, okay? There’s nothing to worry about, it’s just a big, beautiful horse, and we’re going to enjoy it. We’re bringing it in, we're making America great again. Free horse, folks. You don’t turn that down.
