SIMPLE AND CLEAR

The US/EU/UK & Isr. cartel have difficulty in penetrating and controlling markets (consumption & production) of #Iran, #Russia, #NKorea, #Cuba, #Venezuela, and #China and they can not possibly admit to this obstacle to their totalitarianism.

So they must paint a picture of villains to those that resist them so they can justify the financial and social expenditures of imperialist wars against them, to their respective obedient terrorized populations.

#Iraq, #Afghanistam, #Libya, #Syria have already been crossed off the list, #Yemen and #Somalia justifies their dominance in the Black Sea route

#Israel is securing the east bank of the oil route to the Med. (#Egypt - #Turkey )

#India is playing the joker in all world games but India is facing a more direct threat, Islam and Indian people suffering beyond the liberation from the Brits.

If
#Iran, #Russia, #NorthKorea, #Cuba, #Venezuela, and #China were to surrender and pass resources and labor management to US/EU Industrial/Banking capital #war can be averted

else
If
#Iraq, #Afghanistam, #Libya, #Syria had done the same they wouldn't have been destroyed.

Then with the entire earth under their centralized control and domination we would live in Peace and Slavery

Signal is convenient and no doubt more secure than most conventional messaging apps. And it's kind of nice to see so many activists have made it their home, leaving WhatsApp or Instagram groups behind.

Yay 😺

But #Signal is not a #federated system. It's centralised with its base in the fascist states of America. That should set your alarm bell going.

Not so much because of the nagging feeling that there must be a catch. (Did someone leave a backdoor open?) 🙀

No, more because of control and #collapse. If a single company controls all our private communication, this means it takes only a single blow to wipe our networks. If Signal's services collapse, due to some natural or artificial catastrophe, we'd be nowhere and scrambling to find our bearings.

So, although I'm not suggesting people abandon Signal en masse, I do think it's wise for people to start exploring and experimenting with federated alternatives.

If in every community or #activist network there are a few people who know how to use alternative and decentralised messaging software, and willing to share that knowledge, set up some kind of fall-back, then when things get prickly there will at least be a known path forward for you and your comrades 😼

🌱 Resilience Training: CBT and Mindfulness Techniques for Healing 🌿

Building resilience is crucial for healing from narcissistic abuse or coping with NPD. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps us identify and challenge negative thought patterns that erode our self-esteem. Mindfulness teaches us to stay present, observe our emotions without judgment, and regain inner peace.

Together, these techniques empower you to rebuild trust in yourself, manage stress, and foster emotional balance. Healing is a journey—every step counts. 💪🧠✨

ein tief verstörendes Buch das zeigt, dass es noch viel schlimmer ist als gedacht. Mit Geld- und Machtgier wird jede Gefahr ignoriert. Um das letzte Barol Öl zu verkaufen, jede Klimakatastrophe geleugnet. Haben diese Leute keine Kinder? Die glauben, sie beuten den Planeten aus und fliegen dann mit Musk zum Mars? Und man lässt sie gewähren! Und dann noch die Honks die "nicht an den Klimawandel glauben" Als wäre das eine Glaubenssache. Ich glaube nicht an die Schwerkraft, oder wie?

Genocide denial is the last and final stage of genocide and constitutes complicity in genocide.

Matze Schmidt, you are complicit in genocide.

And history is taking notes.

The #Hamas has been attacking Chan Yunis on August, 20 in the south of #Gaza. An ongoing war led by #Israel against the armed is to be expected although there been demonstrations against it. The Strip is in fact a prison in which the Ḥarakat al-muqāwama al-islāmiyya (Islamic Resistance) rules people. There is an urban warfare going on and no genocide. The genocide accusation is discussed for being a narrative by arab sides but is the modern form of creating a scapegoat.

Hey #disabled tag followers and connections, if I were to make a Hubzilla (social media) theme for people with visual or reading disabilities, what are some things you'd suggest? Are there any themes for any platform out there that you think do a good job at it? I already know of fonts for people with dyslexia, but give me your other ideas!
