Father of our freedom and salvation,
hear the prayers of those redeemed by your Son’s suffering.
Through you may we have life;
with you may we have eternal joy.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen.

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
  • 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.
  • Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
  • Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
  • 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.

« La #science progresse de façon aveugle, indifférente au véritable bien-être de l’espèce humaine ou à toute autre chose, obéissant seulement aux besoins psychologiques des scientifiques, des représentants gouvernementaux et des dirigeants d’entreprises qui financent la recherche[1]. »
– Théodore #Kaczynski, mathématicien déserteur

« La méthode expérimentale et déductive, depuis 400 ans de succès spectaculaires, augmente sans cesse son impact sur la vie sociale et quotidienne, et par suite, jusqu’à une date récente, son prestige. En même temps, à travers un processus “d’annexion impérialiste” qui devrait être analysé de façon plus serrée, la science a créé son #idéologie propre, ayant plusieurs des caractéristiques d’une nouvelle religion, que nous pouvons appeler le #scientisme[2]. »
– Alexandre #Grothendieck, mathématicien déserteur

Dans les sociétés industrialisées, la #religion scientiste a éradiqué toutes les religions traditionnelles et s’est imposée comme un nouveau #dogme indiscutable. Dans les discours de campagnes électorales comme dans les échanges interpersonnels quotidiens, faire reposer son argumentaire sur l’autorité scientifique est gage de sérieux, de crédibilité. De l’extrême gauche à l’extrême droite, l’ensemble du spectre #politique prête allégeance à la #Science. Elle est présentée par la #propagande du système industriel comme l’institution productrice de la vérité, autrement dit la science serait politiquement « neutre ». Seul l’usage – bénéfique ou délétère – des découvertes scientifiques fait par les gouvernements, les entreprises et les individus déterminerait la trajectoire de la #civilisation industrielle. Mais comme le montre le médecin Arthur #Guerber dans La fabrique du progrès. Scientisme, système technicien et #capitalisme vert (2022), cette neutralité politique attribuée à la science est une fable.

« La connaissance scientifique conçue comme une série de théories cohérentes convergeant vers une conception idéale du savoir et une marche progressive vers la vérité est un conte de fées dont nous devons absolument sortir. La connaissance est un océan toujours plus vaste d’alternatives mutuellement incompatibles qui ne peuvent être fixées. L’idée d’une méthode fixe ou d’une théorie de la rationalité repose sur une conception trop naïve de l’être humain, tiré de son environnement social. » [...]

Hack Him Beh

L'intolérance à l'incertitude court-circuite le doute en faisant faire usage de raccourcis, propre de l'avalanche informationnelle sur les réseaux sociaux, et la confiance en soi détourne de l'attachement à cette incertitude qui est, en théorie, le propre de la science, malgré qu'elle progresse et surtout qu'elle progresse parce qu'elle doute et remet en jeu ses certitudes par l'expérience de ses théories. Par ricochet, si la science apparaît scientiste c'est qu'elle n'est pas science... Savoir à qui se fier relève du défi, certes, mais l'épistémologie encourage des méthodes, progressant avec le temps, qui doivent permettre d'établir des faits et non des opinions. Pour conclure, voir la science comme une religion c'est ne pas regarder du côté de ce que la raison a défini comme étant de la science. Médias, bashing, spectacle, tout ça tout ça

Scripture Reading
Acts 5:30-32

It was the God of our ancestors who raised up Jesus, but it was you who had him executed by hanging on a tree. By his own right hand God has now raised him up to be leader and saviour, to give repentance and forgiveness of sins through him to Israel. We are witnesses to all this, we and the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.

Es geht um die Rolle des Springer-Konzerns, um Doppelstandards, Unwissen, Ignoranz, Selbstzensur, Stöckchen-Sprünge, außenpolitische Korridore und: Verantwortungslosigkeit insbesondere bei den reichweitenstärksten deutschen Nachrichtenformaten.

Gestern war der #Nakba-Gedenktag, der an die größte Katastrophe der palästinensischen Geschichte des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts erinnert mit Hunderttausenden vertriebenen Menschen und hunderten zerstörten palästinensischen Siedlungen, mit den Folgen die bis heute bestehen.

Zahlreiche israelische Politiker und Militars sprechen im aktuellen Konflikt davon dass sie aktuell Nakba 2.0 oder eine Vollendung der Nakba durchführen. Bilder von Vertreibungen damals gleichen sich mit denen von heute.

Heute Nacht begann die neue Großoffensive der israelischen Armee. Social Media Posts von israelischen Soldaten zeigten in Gaza vorrückende Panzer. Vor allem in Nord-Gaza scheint die israelische Armee besonders aktiv zu sein, und richten dort intensive Zerstörung an

Währenddessen ist die Bevölkerung in Gaza am verhungern. Seit 2,5 Monaten unterbindet der israelische Staat jede Zufuhr von Nahrung, Medizin und anderen Hilfsgütern, und auferlegt damit der Bevölkerung von Gaza Bedingungen die mit dem Überleben der palästinensischen Bevölkerung nicht vereinbar sind.

Bereits jetzt sind zahlreiche Menschen verhungert, die Überlebenden wird der Hunger dauerhaft zeichnen, selbst wenn Gaza-Streifen jetzt mit Nahrung geflutet würde.

#politique #souveraineté #vieprivée

Résumé IA : Ce texte est la transcription d'une vidéoconférence donnée par Benjamin Bayart le 6 février 2025, lors de l'événement Clever Cloud Fest 2025 à Nantes, France. Dans cette conférence, Benjamin Bayart aborde le concept de la vie privée comme modèle économique et l'importance de respecter les droits des utilisateurs en matière de vie privée dans le cadre du Règlement général européen sur la protection des données (RGPD). Il soutient que les entreprises devraient considérer les utilisateurs comme des alliés plutôt que comme des ennemis et que le respect de la vie privée n'est pas seulement bon pour les utilisateurs, mais aussi bénéfique pour les entreprises à long terme. Il critique également les pratiques des entreprises technologiques américaines et leur mépris des lois européennes sur la protection de la vie privée.

The 10 Belgian universities are asking Foreign Minister Maxime #Prévot (Les Engagés) to urge the #EuropeanCouncil to an immediate suspension of the Association Agreement with #Israel. That treaty stipulates that Israeli researchers can participate in European research programmes. Such a suspension would make it easier for universities to stop cooperation with Israeli partners. “We believe that a clearer signal from the European Union is needed to Israel.”

#philosophie #société

Et il ne faut pas s’étonner si, le plus souvent, les imbéciles réussissent mieux que les grands esprits dans le monde. Ceux-ci doivent lutter contre eux-mêmes et, comme si cela ne suffisait pas, ils doivent aussi affronter tous les médiocres qui détestent instinctivement toute forme de supériorité. L’imbécile, quant à lui, se retrouve, où qu’il aille, parmi ses pairs, parmi ses frères et ses compagnons. Il est, par esprit naturel de corps, aidé et protégé. Les idées courantes énoncées par le stupide ne sont que lieux communs, c’est pourquoi elles sont approuvées par ses semblables qui sont légion, alors que le génie possède le terrible défaut de s’opposer aux opinions dominantes et de vouloir bouleverser, justement par la pensée, la vie du plus grand nombre. Ceci explique pourquoi les œuvres et les gestes des imbéciles sont aussi fortement sollicités et admirés. Ceux qui les jugent sont, pour la plupart, de la même envergure et partagent les mêmes goûts. Ils approuvent avec enthousiasme les choses faites ou dites par quelqu’un d’un peu plus habile qu’eux. La faveur presque universelle que recueillent les fruits de l’imbécillité instruite et téméraire ne fait qu’accroître le bonheur déjà débordant dont ils jouissent.

Une perspective socialiste dans une Ukraine en guerre


Sotsialnyi Rukh : Une organisation socialiste ukrainienne

Huit mois après le début de la guerre à grande échelle, Sotsialnyi Rukh (Mouvement social) réunissait ses militant·es en conférence nationale à Kyiv. Cet événement, qui s’est tenu le 17 septembre 2022, dans des conditions très difficiles, se devait de faire le point de la situation et fixer la feuille de route de l’organisation.

Tirant le bilan des mois passés depuis le 24 février 2022, Sotsialnyi Rukh soulignait que « la société civile avait été contrainte de remplir le rôle de l’État et, au lieu d’attendre une assistance de sa part, d’assumer presque toutes ses fonctions sociales ».

La guerre, poursuivait la déclaration, avait « conduit à de nouvelles formes d’auto-organisation et de politique populaire » :

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
  • 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.
  • Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
  • Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
  • 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.

Director Succession Planning: Smooth Transitions for Appointments, Reappointments, and Retirements


 A well-designed succession plan ensures director appointments, reappointments, and retirements are executed seamlessly and compliantly. Whether managed internally or with company secretarial services, here's how to navigate the process.

Boardroom changes shape a company's strategy and governance. A well-designed succession plan ensures director appointments, reappointments, and retirements are executed seamlessly and compliantly. Whether managed internally or with company secretarial services, here's how to navigate the process.

1. The Importance of Succession Planning


A board without a succession strategy risks instability. Directors retire, resign, or leave unexpectedly, and without a plan, you face:

  • Delayed decisions
  • Shaken stakeholder confidence
  • Regulatory breaches

For many firms, succession planning is both a legal requirement and governance best practice.

2. Director Appointments: Starting on Solid Ground


Appointment steps:

  1. Approve through board/shareholder resolution
  2. Obtain written consent from candidate
  3. File with registrar (e.g., ACRA in Singapore within 14 days)
  4. Update internal registers

Key qualities to seek:

✔ Industry expertise
✔ Independent perspective
✔ Clear legal standing

Professional corporate secretarial services can verify eligibility and handle filings to ensure compliance.

3. Reappointments: Preventing Disruptions


Critical process:
- Monitor term expiration dates
- Secure reappointment approval
- Submit required forms (e.g., ACRA Form 45)

Pro tip: Implement calendar alerts or outsource tracking to avoid lapses.

4. Retirements: Closing with Precision


Retirement checklist:

▢ Formal resignation notice
▢ Registrar notification
▢ Internal record updates
▢ Stakeholder communication

Missed steps can create compliance issues - consider professional support for error-free transitions.

5. Strategic Succession: Building a Strong Board


Evaluation framework:

  • Skills gap analysis
  • Independence requirements
  • Internal pipeline development

Visual tool: Create a skills matrix to guide succession decisions.

6. Compliance: The Legal Framework


Essential records:

  • Director register
  • Board resolutions
  • Annual returns
  • Public filings

Non-compliance risks fines or invalid decisions - professional services ensure accuracy.

7. Handling Unexpected Exits


Contingency plan essentials:

  1. Defined replacement protocols
  2. Constitutional guidelines
  3. Pre-vetted candidate pool
  4. Rapid filing capability

Stress-test your plan annually to ensure readiness.

8. Outsourcing: A Practical Solution


Benefits of professional services:

✓ Deadline monitoring
✓ Document preparation
✓ Regulatory submissions
✓ Record maintenance

Particularly valuable in regulated jurisdictions like Singapore.

Conclusion


Effective succession planning combines:

🔹 Proactive strategy
🔹 Meticulous compliance
🔹 Optional professional support

Invest in robust processes today to ensure seamless board transitions tomorrow.
