He Was In The Donbas (2015-22): French Observer EXPOSES Western Lies on Minsk, Shelling & War | Benoît Paré
Neutrality Studies - Interviews - 05.08.2025 - 1h 20m
Today I’m talking to Benoît Paré, a French army reserve officer and former defense ministry analyst. Most importantly, Mr. Paré worked for the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), as part of the seize-fire monitoring mission in Eastern Ukraine. He also wrote a book about this experiences in the Donbas with the title “What I saw in Ukraine: 2015-2022, Diary of an international Observer”.That’s what we want to discuss today.

Benoit Paré: What I Saw in Ukraine: 2015-2022 - Diary of an International Observer – published May 2025
A unique account of its kind, precise, sensitive, and personal, seen from the inside of an international mission at the heart of the Donbass war.
The reality on the ground, from the front lines.
New revelations, notably concerning civilian casualties, human rights violations, conflict-related trials, and the manipulation of facts.
And then, how the US-sponsored Ukrainian ultra-nationalist project provoked Moscow's reaction.
This book is primarily intended for those who prioritize facts over partisanship and who want to understand how the deadliest conflict in Europe since World War II came about.

Une analyse de la revendication d'une Sécurité Sociale Alimentaire.
L'accès à une nourriture saine est essentiel, la Sécurité Sociale peut-elle être prise comme modèle pour l'assurer? Quelles sont les différences avec le modèle des Mutuelles, quel projet politique est sous-tendu par la création de la Sécu après la guerre dans le soin? Remet-on en question le modèle économique de l'agriculture par ce biais? Quelles luttes sociales, économiques, politiques et quelle mobilisation populaire peuvent parvenir à changer la donne en la matière?

C'est intéressant. Ce qui à m'embête, c'est la position platonicienne de dualité corps/esprit qui est, pour moi, fautive. Il n'y a pas d'esprit distinct du corps, il y a un corps dont ce que nous appelons esprit est une propriété émergente.
Enfin, c'est ma position non platonicienne sur le sujet 😉

Da es heute Morgen auf #anonsys.net erneut Probleme mit der Datenbank gegeben hat, werde ich heute mal eine genaue Fehleranalyse durchführen. Dazu ist eine längere Downtime notwendig.
Wie immer der Hinweis: Falls notwendig gibt es über mein Backup-Profil Statusinformationen. Dieses Profil findet ihr hier --> @Tuxi (Backup)
Vor gut zwei Stunden habe ich #anonsys.net wieder online genommen. Ich bin jetzt mal vorsichtig optimistisch, was den Betrieb betrifft. Werde jetzt noch vermehrt das Monitoring und die Logfiles im Auge behalten.
Was war los?
In letzter Zeit gab es immer wieder Probleme beim Aufruf dieser #Friendica Instanz. Eine genauere Analyse hat folgende Ursache für die Probleme gezeigt:
Die Fehlermeldungen im error.log deuten auf einen schweren InnoDB-Fehler und eine Assertion Failure direkt im InnoDB-Quellcode (trx0rseg.cc line 370, Assertion !UT_LIST_GET_LEN(undo_list)). In der Regel ist das ein eindeutiger Hinweis auf eine interne Datenbankkorruption im InnoDB-Tablespace.
Dies hatte zur Folge, dass ich die Datenbank erst einmal sichern durfte. Danach den InnoDB-Tablespace löschen und neue aufbauen musste, inkl. zurückspielen des zuvor erstellten Dumps.
Dies war leider sehr zeitaufwändig. Aber die Nachtschicht heute hat sich scheinbar gelohnt und so konnte anonsys.net heute Morgen wieder online gehen. Ich hoffe, das war es jetzt mit den DB-Problemen. 🙄
Bitte entschuldigt die Unannehmlichkeiten.

Although it is a sudden mutation caused by the political interests of the Western politicians like chameleon, the change in the pro-U.S. Western camp goes to prove again from a new angle that the international isolation against the U.S. and Israel, which trample down international justice and demands of the times, is growing and coming up to the surface with each passing day and a great breach is being made in the U.S.-led Western alliance.No force on earth can stop the wheel of history toward independence and justice.

Today we will likely see police arrest more peaceful protestors during demonstrations against the proscription of Palestine Action.
Its yet one more unforced error by the Labour Party; there were other ways that PA might have been sanctioned (not least of all the usual prosecutions for criminal damage), but Yvette Cooper (with the backing of Kier Starmer) has gone down the route of attacking the democratic right to protest.
Today protestors are making a vital point; I salute them!
