"Robert Desnos nāest pas le seul Ć avoir vu en Robespierre une figure plus quāhumaine. Une Ā« force Ā» comme disait Victor Hugo. CāĆ©tait dĆ©jĆ le cas de son vivant. Et cela ne sera pas sans lien avec sa mort le 10 Thermidor de lāan II (28 juillet 1794). Comme disait Hugo encore, la RĆ©volution aura Ć©tĆ© le plus puissant pas du genre humain depuis lāavĆØnement du Christ. Mais cāest un pas qui nous a fait entrer dans une terre inconnue. Un pays aux boussoles affolĆ©es. Depuis plus de deux-cents ans, tous ceux qui traversent lāHistoire de France et arrivent au moment de la RĆ©volution sont soudain pris de vertige et se perdent dans le labyrinthe du Temps. Cāest un problĆØme de perception. Le 21 janvier 1793, Louis XVI a Ć©tĆ© exĆ©cutĆ©, mais il nāest pas mort."

Duritz: I just felt there was a real callousness in our society towards women ā this real arrogant, we-know-what's-best-for-you thought process returning to our culture in the last decade. I mean, obviously it's always been there, but you thought you were moving in a better direction for many years.Granted, with the MeToo movement, you got a lot of ā for the first time ā exposing a lot of people who were victimizing women. But at the same time, it also made you realize how prevalent it was. Half of our race, as humans, messed with and abused and taken advantage of and, quite honestly, raped. And then told what to do by the other half. It's attaching a valuelessness to half the population of the world.
I was trying to imagine what it must feel like to be a woman. When power speaks to you as if you don't matter.

Meine Gedanken dazu:
Die Menschen in Gaza sind einfach nur Menschen wie Ć¼berall auf der Welt, und sie erleben einen anhaltenden Horror der unvorstellbar ist, den kein Mensch durchmachen dĆ¼rfte.
Und dennoch passiert es, dennoch wird das Leid, der Horror, die realexistierende Hƶlle auf Erden geduldet, unterstĆ¼tzt, angefeuert, ignoriert.
Der Horror der in Gaza passiert ist ein Ausblick auf alle kĆ¼nftigen Kriege, die Ć¼berall auf der Welt mit maximaler BrutalitƤt gefĆ¼hrt werden.
Diese Kriege werden so nun mƶglich sein, weil man das was in Gaza passiert nicht gestoppt hat, weil man fĆ¼r den Horror noch Waffen geliefert hat, weil man fĆ¼r das was unertrƤgliches Leid ist noch beschƶnigende Worte gefunden hat, das internationale Recht ignoriert und mit FĆ¼Ćen getreten hat, nichts dagegen tat, obwohl es jederzeit mƶglich war und ist.

i'm not hiring anyone ever again probably. but hope you find something. what's up on the island there isn't there some retail or tourist shops or something you can work part time at?
mr trimp and co killed the tourism now (already was suffering from corona, but in recovery
hotels, restaurants, shops, theatre, misc entertainment, all closing down this year
they could have treated white europeans specially
but no, have to stick it to the norwegians for saying they're acting stupid
same thing applies, a little bit of elbow grease racism towards whites and "honorary aryan" east asians and indians would have prevented this
the first rule of building alligator fueled concentration camps is making it very clear who's gonna get fed to the alligators, otherwise you're just spreading terror in a way that hurts your interests
they are just too stupid or uncaring to do this basic thing, which is very concerning when it comes to their future use of violence and oppression
ICE is just trumps goon army now, transformed by flooding it with money and dubious recruits and led by loyalists, they're currently in the phase where they drag off women and children to establish precedent that they can do whatever they want
that's "rational", but for example being completely reckless and starting a low-level civil war by escalating it to dragging off blue state leadership people under dubious treason charges isn't
I mean places like Denmark are doing pretty good at it.
Britain did it by sending them to Rwanda and let Rwanda manage the holding facility. Trumpās immigration stuff is basically just Joe Biden with an alligator fetish, and somehow even more anti-European
President Biden had pledged to pause deportations, but ended up expanding it following a surge in border crossings.Brandon Drenon (BBC News)
doesnt sound like it to me:
> More deportations flights went to further away destinations, including Africa and Asia, which did not accept US deportations for years, the agency said.
the southern border is basically 100% closed now. as much as i disagree with some other stuff trump is doing, they have done a great job on the border and also overall i think ice enforcement has done as good a job as they can with their resources, and it looks like they're actually getting ready to ramp up to the level necessary to deport millions of people.
there is huge potential for abuse when building up a massive standing army of this sort but that's the situation we've been put in. we can't allow this country to turn into france or england and be overrun by infinity 3rd world rapists and narco gangs and haitian voodoo cat eaters
> we can't allow this country to turn into france or england and be overrun
lol do you realize that west europe is *far* more homogeneous than america is? its actually been a bit of shock to me after coming to britain from the US
i'm not sure about that. from what i see it looks like you let in way too many foreigners, especially france, but i haven't been to europe in a long time.
my point is simply that you can't open the floodgates to unvetted 3rd world populations. that was a mistake and every last one of them needs to go home (or somewhere else, but they can't stay here)
most illegals are visa overstays
Also, if the issue is with the southern land border, why all the harassment of Europeans who come in via plane or sea?
i'm not sure about that. in the past most may have been visa overstays but considering the numbers that came through the border during the biden admin i don't think that's true anymore- but yes we have a lot of visa overstays. it makes no difference. they all have to go home.
so far we've seen 1 case of harrassment of a european tourist. one. how about another example?

PRAXIS
## Fraud, Theft, and Corruption Related to Ukraine War Aid and Weapons
### Major Cases of Fraud and Embezzlement
- **$40 Million Weapons Procurement Fraud (2022ā2024)**
- Ukrainian defense officials and employees of the arms supplier Lviv Arsenal conspired to embezzle nearly $40 million intended for the purchase of 100,000 mortar shells. The shells were never delivered, and the funds were diverted to accounts in Ukraine and the Balkans. Five individuals were charged, and one was apprehended while attempting to flee the country. The misappropriated funds have been confiscated and are to be returned to Ukraineās defense budget[1][2][3][4].
- **$17.7 Million Military Procurement Scam**
- Ukraineās National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) accused five people, including a former defense ministry official and company owners, of embezzling $17.7 million between August and December 2022. The funds were meant for military procurement at the start of the Russian invasion. Some of the money was allegedly used to buy real estate in Croatia[5].
- **Embezzlement by 30 Officials**
- Law enforcement uncovered a scheme involving 30 officials who embezzled $3.3 million allocated for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The funds were misused for inflated contracts for fuel, electricity, natural gas, furniture, and construction. Some suspects also acquired land and assets through these schemes[6].
- **Large-Scale Defense Industry Fraud**
- A former executive of Ukraineās state defense conglomerate, Ukroboronprom, allegedly transferred over $46 million from state-owned enterprises to foreign accounts, disguised as payments for āagent services.ā The funds were used to acquire luxury assets in France, including a villa and vineyards. French authorities have seized these assets, and extradition is being sought[7][8].
### Weapons Theft and Black Market Activity
- **Arms Trafficking and Black Market Seizures**
- Ukrainian law enforcement has conducted widespread raids, seizing large quantities of weapons and ammunition from criminal networks. In Lviv (August 2024), police dismantled a trafficking ring, seizing 72 pistols, 20 assault rifles, 29 grenades, and nearly 49,000 rounds of ammunition. In Kyiv (September 2024), authorities seized 132 rounds of grenade launcher ammunition and other weapons. Some seizures involved active military personnel selling high-grade weapons, including anti-aircraft guns and US-made machine guns[9][10][11].
- **Historical and Ongoing Diversion**
- Ukraine has a long history of arms trafficking, with parliamentary investigations estimating $32 billion in military assets lost to theft and illicit sales between 1992 and 1998. While oversight has improved, the war has created new opportunities for black market activity, especially with trophy weapons and surplus arms[9][12].
- **International Oversight and Monitoring**
- Western partners and Ukrainian authorities have implemented strict tracking and oversight mechanisms for military aid. While there is no verified evidence of US- or EU-provided weapons being trafficked outside Ukraine, the risk of diversion remains a concern, and ongoing investigations continue[13][12][14].
### Summary Table: Key Cases
| Case/Type | Amount Involved | Description/Outcome |
|--------------------------------------------|-------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Lviv Arsenal Shell Procurement Fraud | $40 million | Embezzled for undelivered shells; funds confiscated[1][2][3] |
| Military Procurement Scam (NABU) | $17.7 million | Embezzled by officials and suppliers; real estate bought abroad[5]|
| 30 Officials Embezzlement | $3.3 million | Inflated contracts for military needs; assets seized[6] |
| Ukroboronprom Executive Fraud | $46 million | Funds laundered into French assets; assets seized[7][8] |
| Lviv Arms Trafficking Ring | N/A (weapons seized) | 72 pistols, 20 rifles, 29 grenades, 49,000 rounds seized[10] |
### Additional Notes
- **Weapons black market activity** is mostly contained within Ukraine, with no verified large-scale trafficking of Western-supplied arms into the EU, but the risk persists[12][14].
- **Anti-corruption efforts** are ongoing, with dozens of investigations, suspensions, and asset seizures reported in 2023ā2025[13][2][3].
- **Oversight by international partners** (US, EU) has not found widespread diversion of aid, but isolated cases of fraud and theft have been prosecuted[13][15].
These cases highlight the ongoing challenges of fraud, theft, and corruption in the context of the Ukraine war, as well as the active efforts by Ukrainian and international authorities to detect, investigate, and recover misused funds and stolen materiel.
