In the heart of Germany, a once-pristine natural treasure, the Reinhardswald, is being devastated under the guise of “saving the planet.”
Known as the “Fairytale Forest” due to its central role in the Brothers Grimm fairy tales, this ancient landscape is home to trees over 500 years old.
The historic forest is believed to be 1000 years old.
However, it is now being transformed into an industrial wasteland to make way for massive wind turbines.
The wind industry and green proponents claim this destruction is necessary for fighting “climate change.” But is it?
In the name of the “green agenda,” the region is being torn apart by the construction of 18 giant wind turbines.
Each turbine reaches a towering height of 244 meters.
To make room for these behemoths, roads are being cut into the forest, thousands of ancient trees are being felled, and once-pristine slopes are being leveled.
Meanwhile, vast amounts of gravel are being dumped across the forest floor.
This isn’t just the installation of wind turbines in open fields; this is large-scale industrial development that is causing irreversible harm to the forest’s delicate ecosystem.

🔻Alors que le message enthousiaste de #Trump après sa rencontre avec #Poutine laissait entrevoir une petite lumière, rejetant toute idée de cessez-le-feu, ne menaçant plus la Russie de sanctions,
🔻 #Macron, #Starmer, #Merz, #Meloni, #Tusk et #Stubb ont publié une déclaration commune qui maintient les raisons mêmes de la guerre et invalide toute idée de négociation : entrée de l’ #Ukraine dans l’ #OTAN, méconnaissance totale des besoins de sécurité de la #Russie qui est encerclée par l’OTAN, refus de toute partition du territoire malgré l’oppression des russophones par le gouvernement Poroshenko puis #Zelensky, souhait de mettre les bottes européennes en Ukraine, et désir de renforcer les sanctions contre la Russie.
————
Macron, Meloni, Merz, Starmer, Stubb et Tusk:
«Nous saluons les efforts du président Trump pour mettre fin à l’effusion de sang en Ukraine, mettre fin à la guerre d’agression de la Russie et parvenir à une paix juste et durable.
Comme l’a déclaré le président Trump : «Il n’y a pas d’accord tant qu’un accord n’est pas conclu».
Selon le plan du président Trump, la prochaine étape doit inclure de nouvelles discussions impliquant le président Zelensky, qu'il rencontrera bientôt.
Nous souhaitons également exprimer notre volonté de coopérer avec le président Trump et le président Zelensky pour organiser un sommet trilatéral soutenu par l’Europe.
Nous soulignons fermement que l’Ukraine doit recevoir des garanties de sécurité à toute épreuve pour défendre efficacement sa souveraineté et son intégrité territoriale.
Nous saluons la déclaration du président Trump selon laquelle les États-Unis sont prêts à fournir de telles garanties de sécurité.
La Coalition des Volontaires est prête à jouer un rôle actif dans ce processus.
❗️Toutefois, les forces armées ukrainiennes et leur coopération avec des pays tiers ne devraient être soumises à aucune restriction.
❗️La Russie ne doit pas avoir de droit de veto sur l’éventuelle adhésion de l’Ukraine à l’UE et à l’OTAN.
❗️C'est l'Ukraine qui prendra les décisions concernant son territoire. Les frontières internationales ne peuvent être modifiées par la force.
Nous continuerons de soutenir l'Ukraine. Nous sommes déterminés à redoubler d'efforts pour maintenir la position forte de l'Ukraine afin de mettre fin aux combats et de parvenir à une paix juste et durable.
❗️Nous exprimons notre volonté de continuer à exercer une pression sur la Russie jusqu’à ce que l’effusion de sang en Ukraine cesse.
❗️Nous continuerons à renforcer les sanctions et les mesures économiques plus larges pour faire pression sur l’économie de guerre de la Russie jusqu’à ce qu’une paix juste et durable soit obtenue.
L’Ukraine peut compter sur notre solidarité indéfectible dans les efforts visant à parvenir à une paix qui préserve les intérêts vitaux de l’Ukraine et de l’Europe dans le domaine de la sécurité».

Historically, a unified left has been essential in advocating for policies that protect the working class, indigenous communities, and marginalized groups in Bolivia.teleSURenglish
This notion of #left unity is such a misleading and immature attitude only people discovering the left yesterday can adopt it.
The true left is ANTI-CAPITALIST, unfortunately many impersonating the left are just as pro-capitalist as their right counterparts.
You want examples?

Hey dbx talk! I have one, along with a TEAC reel to reel, both of which are from my dad who bought them in late 70s early 80s.
Our dbx developed a problem as I recall, where it would sound great with any content, but when sound volume dipped below a certain threshold, such as the silence between pieces, the dbx would encode an annoying whistle.
Never figured it out, and I think period repairs were for naught. Stopped using it. Thoughts?
