What if your body has been trying to tell you something all along—and you just didn't know how to listen? Twenty-five years ago, Inna was trapped in chronic pain. Psoriasis covered her body. She could barely walk due to back issues. She struggled with anxiety, depression, and digestive problems. She was stuck in the medical system, being told her conditions were genetic and permanent, taking medications that didn't work. Then, at age 20, she lost her baby. And in the depths of that grief and physical agony, one statement from her chiropractor changed everything: "Your body wants to be stuck." That single sentence—which initially enraged her—became the doorway to her awakening. Because it made her realize: if her body WANTS something, it has intelligence. It has language. It's trying to communicate. That night, she placed her hands on her back, breathed, and asked a simple question: "What does my back look like? Why am I in pain?" What happened next awakened an ability that would eventually help tens of thousands of people across the globe. She could suddenly SEE inside her body. She understood the emotional, psychological, and ancestral patterns creating her physical symptoms. And within three weeks, she healed conditions she'd been told were permanent. In this deeply moving conversation, we explore: The Journey to Awakening Inna shares her full story—from growing up in Belarus and being raised to believe doctors were half-gods, to moving to Australia and being bullied, to the pregnancy and loss that became her breaking point, to the moment she took radical responsibility for her own healing and everything changed. How Medical Intuition Actually Works Inna explains how she learned to see into people's energy fields and bodies—from the first time she saw a cartoon liver above her friend's head, to working with a medical doctor who had her place acupuncture needles based on what she was seeing, to learning how to turn the ability on and off so she didn't go insane. The Logic of the Body This is one of my favorite parts of our conversation. Inna breaks down why the body is completely logical—not random, not punishing, but communicating with incredible intelligence. Every symptom has layers of meaning. Every disease has a story. And when you understand the logic, you can begin to heal. What Your Symptoms Are Really Telling You We dive deep into specific body parts and systems: Why your immune system breaks down (insecurity, inner conflict, self-neglect, stress, not being able to say no) What back pain is really about (lack of support—both emotional AND financial) Why skin issues appear (not feeling safe, not belonging, ancestral trauma) How your digestive system holds loss and grief The Power of Color Healing Inna teaches how color is directly connected to emotion, and how you can use color intentionally every single day to shift your state. She shares stories of using pink light for protection, green for manifestation, and how wearing different colors changes how you feel, think, and show up in the world. Taking Radical Responsibility We discuss what it really means to move from being a victim of your body to being the healer of your body. This isn't about blaming yourself for illness—it's about recognizing that you have power, intelligence, and the ability to participate in your own healing. Ancestral Trauma in the Body Inna explains how family patterns and generational trauma show up in your physical body—in your digestive system, your immune response, your nervous system. She shares her own story of recognizing her grandmother's trauma living in her body. Practical Self-Healing Techniques Throughout the conversation, Inna shares tangible practices you can use immediately—from breathing into pain, to asking your body questions, to using color intentionally, to working with pressure points and movement. The Difference Between Caring and Carrying One insight that really struck me was Ina's distinction between caring for people and carrying them. This is huge for healers, coaches, yoga teachers, and anyone in helping professions. Why Healing Pulls You Toward Knowing Yourself Ina's closing wisdom is so powerful: "Healing always pulls you toward knowing you. You cannot heal without self-knowledge. The more you dive in, the more you realize what a layered person you are and how beautifully colorful and complex you are on the soul level." This episode is for anyone dealing with chronic health issues, anyone who feels stuck in their body, healers and coaches who want to understand the deeper layers of what's happening with their clients, yoga teachers, energy workers, bodyworkers, and anyone curious about the profound intelligence of the body. GUEST BIO: Inna Segal is an internationally recognized healer, bestselling author, speaker, and intuitive guide. Born in Belarus and raised in Italy and Australia, Ina's journey to becoming a medical intuitive began after her own healing crisis at age 20. For over 25 years, she has worked with tens of thousands of clients across six continents, helping them decode their body's messages and activate their innate healing abilities. She is the author of The Secret Language of Your Body and is currently writing a book on the 8 Stages of Healing.

Today's Headlines: At Davos, Trump hosted the signing of his new “Board of Peace,” a pay-to-play lineup including Belarus, Hungary, Egypt, Qatar, and Kazakhstan, with countries reportedly paying about $1 billion to join. Several European nations declined, warning the board looks like an attempt to sideline the UN. Jared Kushner also floated a vague, zone-based plan for rebuilding Gaza. Back home, Trump filed a $5 billion lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase and CEO Jamie Dimon, claiming he was “debanked” after January 6. JPMorgan says the case has no merit. In other news, former DOJ special counsel Jack Smith testified to Congress, warning of serious threats to democracy and criticizing mass pardons for January 6 defendants. Trump responded by publicly calling for Smith to be prosecuted. In Minnesota, ICE detained a 5-year-old child and his father outside their home, while school officials confirmed multiple students have been taken into custody, some on their way to school. Local police chiefs also say ICE has stopped off-duty officers based solely on skin color. DHS announced the next enforcement push will be in Maine. The New York Times reports the Trump family made at least $1.4 billion in 2025, driven by overseas real estate, crypto, settlements, and foreign gifts. A growing pardon-for-hire industry has wiped out hundreds of millions in restitution owed to victims. A new analysis found Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok generated millions of sexualized deepfake images in just nine days. And finally, a massive winter storm named Fern is expected to hit much of the U.S. this weekend, potentially affecting over 230 million people.

Serbian analyst Nikola Mikovic argues that the contemporary world remains firmly under Western dominance, refuting the popular narrative of an emerging multipolar global order. He posits that the United States and its European allies possess unmatched power, citing recent military actions in Venezuela and the lack of support for Iran as proof of Russian and Chinese weakness. Mikovic characterizes Russia and Iran as an “axis of impotence,” suggesting they are incapable of providing a true alternative to Western systems. The discussion also explores the global shift toward technocracy, noting that rapid digitalization and the elimination of cash are occurring across both East and West. Finally, the source warns of a potential large-scale war in Europe and predicts a “Great Game” in Central Asia where the West and China will ultimately displace Russian influence.

Whether you’re a seasoned team member or preparing for your first trip, short-term mission trips have the potential to make a meaningful global impact. In this conversation, we’ll highlight five key principles that help ensure our efforts contribute to lasting, sustainable change in the communities we serve.

In this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down the rapidly escalating global crisis sparked by Donald Trump after he wrote to European leaders declaring he's done with “peace” following his failure to win a Nobel Peace Prize and threatening to invade Greenland, while simultaneously inviting Russia and Belarus to join his absurd “Board of Peace” grift as Europe forcefully rebukes him. We also cover the Trump DOJ's chilling threat to indict journalists for reporting on protests against ICE, the Trump DOJ's stunning admission about the Epstein Files, Trump's abandonment of Kurdish allies in Syria with potentially catastrophic consequences, the early and encouraging successes of Virginia Democrats pushing back against extremism, and more critical updates as the Trump regime continues to destabilize both the United States and the world.

Today's Headlines: Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado visited the White House and handed Donald Trump a symbolic Nobel Peace Prize — only to walk away with Trump merch, zero U.S. backing, and confirmation that the administration will continue supporting remnants of the Maduro regime. The Nobel Foundation quickly clarified that Nobel Prizes can't be transferred, even symbolically. Trump then escalated his Greenland fixation, announcing new tariffs on European countries that don't support a U.S. takeover and threatening steeper penalties by summer. He later claimed Norway owed him a Nobel Prize and suggested U.S. control of Greenland is essential for global security, prompting Canada to warn that any U.S. military action would trigger NATO obligations. Meanwhile, Canada and the EU are rapidly reshuffling trade alliances away from the U.S. This week, former DOJ special counsel Jack Smith will testify to Congress as Trump heads to Davos to unveil his self-appointed “Board of Peace,” tasked with overseeing Gaza's future. Trump plans to chair the board, charge countries $1 billion to participate, and has invited members ranging from U.S. allies to Russia and Belarus. In Iran, mass protests continue amid a near-total internet blackout, with reports estimating more than 13,000 deaths in recent days. Iranian state TV was briefly hacked to air messages urging revolt, while the FAA warned airlines to prepare for possible military activity affecting flights across parts of Latin America and the Pacific. Back in the U.S., Trump declined — for now — to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota, while placing 1,500 troops on standby and opening investigations into Minnesota's governor and Minneapolis's mayor. He also floated plans to sue JPMorgan Chase over alleged political “debanking.” Finally, Virginia lawmakers moved to redraw congressional maps ahead of the midterms, opening yet another front in the rapidly escalating gerrymandering wars.

John Hargrave, CEO of Media Shower and author of The Intelligent Crypto Investor, joins the show to unpack a radically calm, Buffett-inspired approach to crypto investing. From wiring money to Belarus to buy Bitcoin in 2013 to nearly losing his business in the 2018 crypto winter, John shares how hard-earned wisdom led him to a disciplined, diversified strategy that blends traditional assets with a carefully sized slice of high-quality crypto — and why this model has quietly outperformed traditional portfolios over the past several years. Why you should listen John traces his origin story from early Bitcoin believer to battle-tested investor, recounting the moment he and his wife went "all in" on crypto during the 2017 bull run — and the brutal reality check that followed when the market collapsed. That near-death experience for his marketing business reshaped his philosophy around risk, leading him to embrace diversification over maximalism. The result: a framework that treats crypto not as a lottery ticket or ideological crusade, but as a serious asset class that earns its place alongside stocks and bonds. At the core of John's book is a simple but contrarian portfolio model: a traditional 60/30-style mix of stocks and bonds, plus up to 10% allocated to high-quality crypto assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. He argues this small slice has historically captured outsized upside while strictly limiting downside risk — even in worst-case scenarios. John also takes aim at financial advisors for being "a decade behind," suggesting everyday investors can now build and manage this strategy themselves with the right tools and long-term mindset. Beyond numbers, John brings storytelling and big ideas into the mix, drawing inspiration from legendary investors like Warren Buffett, Ben Graham, and Bill Miller to apply value-investing principles to blockchain projects. He shares his bold conviction that crypto and AI represent unevenly distributed futures — and that a global digital currency is not a question of "if," but "when." The conversation closes on sci-fi, Asimov, and the long arc of technological change, framing crypto not just as an investment, but as a bet on the architecture of tomorrow's financial system.

[00:00:00] George Buhnici: Invitatul nostru în această seară este profesorul nostru preferat, domnul Dumitru Borțun. [00:00:05] Bine ați revenit, domnul profesor! Mulțumesc! Avem o teme fierbință la ordinea zile și una [00:00:10] dintre cele mai importante. Voi începe cu breaking news-ul săptămânii acestea. [00:00:15] asasinarea în public a unei dintre cei mai importanti să le spunem [00:00:20] așa, exponenței republicanilor MAGA din Statele [00:00:25] Unite Un tânăr de 31 de ani, Charlie Kirk, împușcat de un [00:00:30] aparent radicalizat care credea el că Charlie Kirk [00:00:35] împrăștie ură.[00:00:36] Dumitru Bortun: Da, dar se pare că ăsta e mai fascist decât [00:00:40] Kirk. Sunt doi radicali care au un discurs alurii [00:00:45] și unul și altul. [00:00:47] George Buhnici: Ok. Sunt doar câteva zile de la [00:00:50] moartea lui Charlie Kirk. Noi suntem la un pic de distanță, destul de safe. Acolo spiritele sunt atât de fierbinți [00:00:55] încât... Guvernatorul statului iutaiei le-a recomandat oamenilor să plece de pe social media pentru că era furia [00:01:00] prea mare.Trăim într-o economie a furiei. Însă deci de la distanță din [00:01:05] experiența noastră, când vă uitați și la Charlie Kirk și la asasinul lui, [00:01:10] nu vedeți o victimă și un agresor? [00:01:13] Dumitru Bortun: Ba da. Și [00:01:15] regret că un om tânăr și doar un [00:01:20] influencer, nu un om care apasă pe butoane, care ia decizii politice [00:01:25] Este omorât. Lasă în urma lui [00:01:30] doi copii fără tată, lasă o soție tânără, [00:01:35] neconsolată deci lucrurile astea sunt oribile.Dar [00:01:40] vreau să vă spun că asistăm la [00:01:45] simptomul unei rupturi foarte puternice în societatea americană. [00:01:50] Pentru că un astfel de eveniment nu polarizează o societate în halul ăsta, [00:01:55] dacă societatea respectivă nu este deja polarizată, dacă nu e [00:02:00] ruptă în două părți, cel puțin. Deci ruptura [00:02:05] preexista. [00:02:06] George Buhnici: Ok, vedem deja această ruptură care este [00:02:10] amplificată de toate părțile implicate de an de zile în Statele Unite, nu e nouă.Am văzut o [00:02:15] mâncă dinaintea lui Obama, apoi s-a transferat primar Am Trump [00:02:20] și a lui Biden și acum am ajuns la punctul la care vedem tentative de asasinat tot mai [00:02:25] des. Am văzut și cea împotriva lui Donald Trump, am văzut atentate teroriste, au fost denumite [00:02:30] încindierile showroom-urilor Tesla, tot pe motive politice.În momentul [00:02:35] acesta vedem această ruptură care ajunge în faza pe gloanțe, ca să zicem așa. [00:02:40] Faza pe, cum zic cei din zona militară, faza kinetică. [00:02:44] Dumitru Bortun: [00:02:45] Da, da. Este întâi faza violenței simptomale Simbolice, [00:02:50] când ne vorbim urât și ne jurăm, urmează faza violenței [00:02:55] fizice. După aceea urmează faza [00:03:00] gloanțelor, cum bine ați spus, și, Doamne ferește [00:03:05] următoarea este faza războiului civil.Deci genul [00:03:10] ăsta de conflict este amplificat din păcate de noile [00:03:15] mijloace de comunicare în masă, așa zisele new [00:03:20] media, tot ce ține de internet, de rețele sociale, de bloguri, de [00:03:25] vloguri și așa mai departe. Podcast-uri. [00:03:28] George Buhnici: Charlie Kirk [00:03:30] este un om născut din acest val de social media. Este unul dintre oamenii care a [00:03:35] folosit excepțional de bine algoritmul, avea [00:03:40] propriului podcast și a creat un ONG și a creat această faimă de om care [00:03:45] poate să dezbată cu oricine, mai ales în public, să zicea în universități și transforma chestia asta.[00:03:50]Un pe care îl publica peste tot. A devenit extrem de influent și a atras [00:03:55] destul de mulți oameni care au ajuns să-l susțină pe Donald Trump [00:04:00][00:04:00] Dumitru Bortun: prin aceste [00:04:01] George Buhnici: activări ale lui. [00:04:02] Dumitru Bortun: Sunt de acord că era foarte talentat [00:04:05] și că avea un talent deosebit de a mobiliza, avea o [00:04:10] anumită carismă de la modul în care arăta, la modul în care [00:04:15] vorbea, punea problema.Dar vreau să vă spun că, așa [00:04:20] zisele... Dezbatere ale lui nu erau chiar [00:04:25] dezbateri Vedeți că există pe internet, spun pentru cei care ne [00:04:30] urmăresc, dumneavoastră știți, pentru că le-am primit chiar de la dumneavoastră, sunt [00:04:35] două filme cu un cadru didactic un lecturer de la [00:04:40] Universitatea Cambridge, care face analiză pe text, [00:04:45] face analiză de discurs.[00:04:47] George Buhnici: Și vorbim despre niște dezbateri [00:04:50] pe care Charlie Kirk le-a făcut în Europa, a fost la Cambridge, la [00:04:55] Oxford și s-au zis acolo încercând să convingă universitățile britanice [00:05:00] să se lepede de ochism. [00:05:03] Dumitru Bortun: Să se [00:05:05] lepede de tot ce înseamnă stânga. Ochismul este doar pretextul. Așa. Vor să [00:05:10] scoată universitățile de sub influența mișcărilor [00:05:15] de stânga.Cele care vorbesc despre o societate deschisă despre emanciparea [00:05:20] oamenilor despre libertatea de alegere, despre [00:05:25] progres și care [00:05:30] sunt teme nesuferite celor de dreapta din Statele Unite. [00:05:35] Și am început cu aceste mari universități legendare [00:05:40] universități din Europa. Eu vreau să vă spun că acest film, care este [00:05:45] un...Studiu este un film didactic foarte reușit. Eu mi-am și [00:05:50] scos pe hârtie după ce mi-ați trimis... [00:05:55] Filmul, mi-am scos grășelile, pentru că și eu [00:06:00] predau gândire critică. Fallacies, nu? Fallacies. Erori de gândire [00:06:05] din perspectiva teoriei critical thinking. Și sunt de [00:06:10] pildă moving the goalpost, adică a schimba regulile [00:06:15] sau chiar subiectul sau criteriile după care discuți [00:06:20] și analizezi o problemă în timpul discuției.Sau burden of [00:06:25] prof, datoria de a dovedi ceva, o presiune de a dori ceva [00:06:30] pe care o pui în celuilalt. Sau post hoc, ergo [00:06:35] procter hoc. Post hoc înseamnă în latină după aceea, procter hoc, [00:06:40] din cauza aceea. Acest sofism, că dacă ceva urmează după [00:06:45] altceva, înseamnă că este efectul acelui fenomen. Doar pentru că e [00:06:50] după el.Nu e neapărat o relație. cauzală. El practică această [00:06:55] eroare de argumentare. Formă personal incredibility, [00:07:00] incredality, adică neîncrederea personală. Eu nu cred în ce spui. Tu nu poți [00:07:05] să credi așa ceva. [00:07:05] George Buhnici: Într-o dezbatere științifică chestia asta e inacceptabilă [00:07:08] Dumitru Bortun: E inacceptabilă. Nu mă interesează [00:07:10] că tu nu poți să crezi.E problemă subiectivă. Poate te-a bătut taică tu când erai mic. Poate [00:07:15] ai avut un unchi care era șeptic. Nu știu care e istoria ta [00:07:20] personală. De ce nu crezi treaba asta? Deci... Pe urmă [00:07:25] red herring, cherry picking, sunt mai multe [00:07:28] George Buhnici: [00:07:30] tehnici [00:07:31] Dumitru Bortun: tacticile, numește ele giz galop, [00:07:35] argument from tradition, pentru că s-a mai întâmplat, [00:07:40] înseamnă că e adevărat.Pentru că, așa, [00:07:45] argumentele circulare, de genul avortul e greșit fiindcă este o [00:07:50] crimă iar crimă este greșită. Deci te învârți în același, fără să [00:07:55] demonstrezi de ce este o crimă. Ai sărit peste etapa asta. [00:08:00] Cel care te ascultă aude doar faptul că crimă e [00:08:05] greșită ceea ce e corect, și tragi concluzia că și avortul e greșit.[00:08:10] Fără să... Argumentezi implicația de la mijloc. [00:08:15] Corect Este o crimă. Deflection. Deflection [00:08:20] înseamnă abatere, abatere la subiect. Mă abat de la subiect pentru că simt că tu [00:08:25] îl argumentezi mai bine și că eu nu mai am argumente. Corect Și atunci [00:08:30] schimbă subiectul, mă abat de la... Și în sfârșit special [00:08:35] plating, când decretăm că ceva este o excepție fără să [00:08:40] argumentăm.Bine ce special plating Spui tu, e o excepție În general, lucrurile astea au cum zic eu, fără [00:08:45] să... Toate lucrurile astea au fost depistate de [00:08:50] acest profesor de la Cambridge. Și puse pe film și a arătat fragment [00:08:55] din discuție între Kirk și un student [00:09:00] de la Universitatea în Cambridge, unde arăta cum a făcut această [00:09:05] greșeală.Deci una dintre erorile de [00:09:10] argumentare este că tu nu dovedești adevărul a ceea ce [00:09:15] spui dar aștepți ca celălalt să contrazică, spune, [00:09:20] dovedește-mi că n-am treptate. Nu e datoria lui să dovească că n treptate, e datoria ta să [00:09:25] dovedești că ai treptate. Deci dialogul ăsta era mai mult, cum să vă spun, un show, [00:09:30] un spectacol, din care probabil câștiga și bani, dar era finanțat [00:09:34] George Buhnici: [00:09:35] de mulți miliardari Charlie Kirk și nu doar el, prin acel ONG Turning Point [00:09:40] USA.Pentru cei care vor un pic mai mult context, nu știu câtă răbdare aveți să urmăriți toată [00:09:45] scena asta americana, eu o fac destul de îndeaproape, Charlie Kirk, [00:09:50] într-adevăr folosea exact toate texturile tehnicele pe care le-a spus și ceva în plus, dar reușise să fie atrăgător pentru [00:09:55] social media, pentru că livra soundbites, livra TikTok-uri, livra chestii condensate [00:10:00] într-un minut, în care te convingea că creștinismul este bun, iar islamul este [00:10:05] greșit, că albii sunt mai buni că negrii sunt răi, că omosexualitatea este sau nu [00:10:10] acceptabilă, căsătoria într-un fel Și în momentul în care era pus în fața unei dezbateri cu [00:10:15] oameni cu pregătire, cu educație, argumentele lui de foarte multe ori cedau.Asta s-a [00:10:20] întâmplat inclusiv în anumite universități Însă de cele mai multe ori Reușea să facă chestia asta cu [00:10:25] studenți În scena publică De pe o poziție în asta Nu știu câți dintre voi ați urmărit să tea [00:10:30] într-un cort Cu oameni în fața lui Ca și cum ar propovădui ceva Știți că e [00:10:35] interesantă chestia asta Că toți avem într-un fel sau altul până la un punct Acest cult al lui Iisus Că vrem să ne [00:10:40] împărtășim adevărul nostru Iar cei care interacționea el De foarte multe ori erau puși pe piciorul din [00:10:45] spate Pentru că el era un comunicator Excepțional de bun Ce [00:10:48] Dumitru Bortun: povestiți dumneavoastră [00:10:50] se numește în teoria discursului Miza scenă Punere în scenă [00:10:55] Sau încadrare unui discurs El asta făcea făcea frameworking [00:10:59] George Buhnici: Cu [00:10:59] Dumitru Bortun: [00:11:00] cortul ăla [00:11:01] George Buhnici: Exact, și el din cortul ăla Sătea de vorbă interacțiunea cu oameni pe [00:11:05] care îi bombarda Cu toate argumentele Pe care le-a spus puțin mai devreme Pentru oameni cu [00:11:10] pregătire filozofică Semiotică, comunicare, toate lucrurile astea Erau transparente [00:11:15] vedeau Prin ele, mai ales că făcea de foarte mult Tot ce a spus dumneavoastră Într-o dezbatere foarte [00:11:20] articulată cu acel student De la Cambridge, tot muta ținta Pentru că una dintre [00:11:25] temele De dezbatere de acolo, foarte scurt Ca să vă dau un rezumat o să vă dau link-urile Pentru aceste [00:11:30] analize Să le dați [00:11:31] Dumitru Bortun: neapărat, că sunt instructive Pentru că și [00:11:35] ascultătorii Noșterii trebuie să învețe Să se ferească de [00:11:40] Oratorii păcălici Care păcălesc auditorii [00:11:43] George Buhnici: Corect [00:11:45] Vă dau un exemplu foarte simplu Unul dintre argumentele lui Charlie Kirk este că [00:11:50] Creștinismul a susținut întotdeauna monogamia și asta este căsătorie într-un bărbat și o [00:11:55] femeie.Și că asta este bună pentru că nici o civilizație avansată [00:12:00] nu a avut căsătorie între persoane de același sex. [00:12:05] Și este contrazis. Și atunci nu insistă, nu doar să fie acceptată, să fie în lege, să fie legiferată. Și [00:12:10] studentul vine și spune, a fost legiferată în Mesopotamia. În Mesopotamia putea să ai [00:12:15] căsătorie între un bărbat și un bărbat.[00:12:17] Dumitru Bortun: Legar. O mare civilizație. [00:12:18] George Buhnici: O mare civilizație. Și îl [00:12:20] spune, da, da și la ce i-a ajutat chestia asta? Din nou tot muta ținta. Și zice, păi, a rezistat niște mii ani. Măi, la [00:12:25] civilizație americană nu are încă mii de Dar aminte, mii de ani de civilizație. [00:12:30] Acum, nu trebuie să fim de acord sau nu cu ce au făcut cei din Mesopotamia.Mesopotamia nu mai e [00:12:35] astăzi. Problema este cum [00:12:37] Dumitru Bortun: argumentăm. Exact. [00:12:39] George Buhnici: Bun. [00:12:40] Am vorbit așadar despre care este semnificația acestui asasinat. Nu vom lămuri încă, dar mie [00:12:45] mi-este clar că ce va urma, vor fi mai puține astfel de dezbatări în public. Exista totuși [00:12:50] valoare în ceea ce văd eu că făcea Charlie Kirk, faptul că pornea o conversație și cu oameni care [00:12:55] Nu îl simpatizau, nu erau de acord cu el și care chiar puteau să îl [00:13:00] dezbată.Nu aveau forța lui de expunere, dar puteam să vedem, cei care am urmărit [00:13:05] suficient de mult, că dincolo de prove me wrong a lui Charlie Kirk, da, [00:13:10] erau momente când era wrong. Dar foarte mulți politicieni se feresc de dezbatări. Și asta este [00:13:15] meritul lui, faptul că au umplut un gol. Bun. [00:13:20] Și acum, întrebarea, că noi avem o listă de teme aici prin care trebuie să trecem, nu avem foarte mult [00:13:25] timp la dispoziție, de aia o să ne vedeți că poate că ne grăbim un pic, dar încercăm, nu știu cât puteți să stați, [00:13:30] e seara, e duminică vă mulțumim că ați venit.Întrebarea care vine acum [00:13:35] este, totuși când devine acest free speech, acest absolutism al [00:13:40] libertății [00:13:41] Dumitru Bortun: de expresie, [00:13:41] George Buhnici: că putem să spunem orice, [00:13:45] unde se oprește această unde punem o limită pentru această exprimare, pentru [00:13:50] orice, ca să nu ajungem în astfel de situații în care unul din tabăra cealaltă să spună trebuie să te [00:13:55] opresc cu orice preț, pentru că împrăștii ură, între ghilemele.[00:13:58] Dumitru Bortun: Să fie clar aici sunt [00:14:00] două extreme, domnul Bucnici Primul lucru pe care îl vreau să-l spun este [00:14:05] că nu e cazul să apelăm la așa zisul bun simț, că aud foarte des [00:14:10] lucrurile astea la comentatori superficiali pe postul de [00:14:15] televiziune pe rețele sociale. Bunul simț este un ghid foarte bun, [00:14:20] pentru că bunul simț e definit cultural.El difere de la o [00:14:25] cultură la altă cultură, de la o subcultură la altă subcultură deci e [00:14:30] circumscris unei culturi sau subculturi. Deci bunul simț nu este universal. [00:14:35] Deci nu rezolvă. La nivelul unei societăți imense, cum e societatea nord-americană, [00:14:40] n-ai cum să apelezi la bunul simț ca... La un criteriu [00:14:45] universal valabil pentru a te opri unde trebuie cu libertatea de expresie.Și [00:14:50] atunci vă spun două lucruri. Sunt două extreme aici. Pe de o parte, [00:14:55] libertatea de expresie dusă la paroxism poate să ducă la [00:15:00] [00:15:05] violență. [00:15:10] Deci odată este violența asta [00:15:15] verbală, violență [00:15:20] simbolică, violență psihologică prin priviri, până la [00:15:25] violența gloanțelor, cum spuneați, și până la, Doamne ferește un război [00:15:30] civil.Deci violența poate să ducă pentru că eu îmi exprim [00:15:35] gândurile mele fără să am nicio oprelișe, pentru că mă prevalez [00:15:40] amendamentului al Constituției Americanei, libertatea de expresie. [00:15:45] Ori, libertatea de expresie poate să ducă la faptul că îi jignesc pe seminii mei, că [00:15:50] le dau motive să-mi furie, le dau motive să se răzbune, [00:15:55] să-mi replice și așa mai departe.Pentru asta s-a inventat [00:16:00] ceea ce se numește corectitudine politică. Dar corectitudinea politică [00:16:05] ea limitează la extrema cealaltă pentru că mai e o problemă aici [00:16:10] De atâta corectivine politică ajungi să [00:16:15] sufoci să restrângi reptul la liberă exprimare. [00:16:17] George Buhnici: Exact. [00:16:18] Dumitru Bortun: Se [00:16:18] George Buhnici: ridică pendulul [00:16:20] în extrema cealaltă. În cealaltă [00:16:21] Dumitru Bortun: extremă.Deci nici corectivinea politică nu este [00:16:25] absolut, un criteriu absolut, pentru că asta [00:16:30] acumulează frustrări, acumulează... [00:16:33] George Buhnici: Haideți să dăm două exemple, [00:16:35] dacă vreți. Una dintre chestiile, pe care Charlie Karrick le spunea, este că [00:16:40] tinerii de culoare au mai multe probleme pentru că nu [00:16:45] trăiesc cu un tată în casă pe parcursul [00:16:50] copilăriei lor.E o chestie culturală în familiile de culoare din Statele Unite. [00:16:55] Undeva la trei din patru tați, bărbați, pleacă de acasă. [00:17:00] Și îl zicea că ăsta este un motiv pentru [00:17:05] violența lor, pentru lipsa lor... Delinvență. Delinvență. Copilăria [00:17:08] Dumitru Bortun: în stradă [00:17:09] George Buhnici: [00:17:10] Intră chestia asta la libertate de exprimare? [00:17:13] Dumitru Bortun: Intră, dar când [00:17:15] îți dai seama că jignești și pui pe jar o mare [00:17:20] categorie umană, poți să te abții și să spui așa, [00:17:25] există familii americane în care tații lipsesc, nu își îndeplinești [00:17:30] rolul și nu oferă un pattern cultural, un model cultural de [00:17:35] comportament băieților.De aici ies tinerii responsabili, [00:17:40] bărbați care nu pot întemeia o familie și care nu se vor putea purta cum trebuie cu [00:17:45] soțiile și cu copiilor. De ce? Fiindcă n-au un model anterior. Dar nu spui neapărat că-s [00:17:50] negri. Pentru că s-ar putea ca majoritatea să fie într-adevăr din [00:17:55] populația de culoare pentru că se explică [00:18:00] culturalicește.Din cultura lor există [00:18:05] treaba asta, că bărbatul poate să plece când vrea. Dar nu spui. [00:18:10] Pentru că asta se numește responsabilitate. Domnul Bun, și nu este vorba nici de a încălca... Chiar dacă [00:18:15] e [00:18:15] George Buhnici: adevărat statistic? [00:18:17] Dumitru Bortun: Dacă e adevărat statistic, [00:18:20] adevărul nu e niciodată un scop în sine. Un scop în sine e binele. Eu [00:18:25] pot să imaginez o politică adevărului spus în așa fel, într-un [00:18:30] anumit fel, într-un anumit...În un moment, unor anumiți oameni ca să facem bine nu ca să [00:18:35] facem rău. Pentru că ipocrizia aia să știți că am fost sincer. Nu mă ajută cu nimic. [00:18:40] Cu sinceritatea ta ai distrus o familie. Ai înăgrit [00:18:45] imaginea unui părinte fața copilului său. Ai distrus prestigiul unui profesor în [00:18:50] fața elevului. Poți să faci foarte mult rău fiind sincer.Ai spus adevărul [00:18:55] Sau ai spus ce credeai tu că trebuie spus. De acord. Trebuie să ne înfrânăm singuri. [00:19:00] Asta se numește responsabilitate. Adică să fii conștient de consecințele [00:19:05] faptelor tale. Și când zic fapte, zic și acte de comunicare. [00:19:09] George Buhnici: Asta este cea [00:19:10] importantă lecție pe care mi-ați dat-o și mie în vara lui 2022.Da. Că până la urmă cuvintele [00:19:15] contează. [00:19:15] Dumitru Bortun: Da. [00:19:16] George Buhnici: Pe de altă parte însă, comportamentul și afirmația lui Charlie [00:19:20] Kirk, din nou vin după ce pendulul s-a ridicat prea mult în partea cealaltă și am ajuns în situația în care [00:19:25] putem să permitem unor bărbați să se declare femei. Deși, [00:19:30] biologic, sunt masculi. Doar pentru că au decis [00:19:35] dintr-o dată că vor să se declare femei, că vor să umble pe unde sunt femeile și [00:19:40] nimeni nu se opune la această chestie Ca nu-i [00:19:42] Dumitru Bortun: jignească.[00:19:42] George Buhnici: Ca să nu-i jignească. Acea [00:19:45] corectitudine politică de care vorbiți noastră a dus-o la extrema cealaltă. Sunteți de acord că este și asta o extremă? [00:19:49] Dumitru Bortun: Da. [00:19:50] Și sunt de acord că în istorie sunt... Sunt mii de cazuri de idei [00:19:55] bune care au căput pe mâna unor ticăloși și care s-au transformat în [00:20:00] lucruri oribile. Idei bune.Care se degradează în mâna unor oameni [00:20:05] Care nu sunt la înălțimea ideii. A construi o societate [00:20:10] bazată pe reguli de comportament civilizat. Corectiunea asta politică ar trebui tradusă [00:20:15] corect în românește corectiune socială. Fiindcă la ei politic are mai multe sensuri [00:20:20] Aici e sensul de la polis. De la societate De la societate [00:20:25] Deci corecțiune socială să fim corecți unii cu alții, să nu ne umilim, să [00:20:30] nu facem bullying.Ce mi se pare [00:20:32] George Buhnici: mie grav este că de foarte multe ori oamenii care [00:20:35] ajung să facă rău altora, o fac în numele [00:20:40] altor oameni sau altor ființe mai nou care nu sunt de față. [00:20:45] Nu ați observat lucrul ăsta? Da, da da. E interesant. Ne punem noi ca [00:20:50] apărători ai... Ne erijăm în... Protectorii unei categorii defavorizate. [00:20:55] Da atacăm individul, îl luăm individual din mulțime, deci îl [00:21:00] discriminăm pentru că ar face rău unor [00:21:05] clase care nu sunt prezente.[00:21:06] Dumitru Bortun: Dar eu aș vrea să termin ideea pentru că n-am spus [00:21:10] decât jumătate din ea. Mă scuzează că m-am... Nu, nu m-ați întrebat. [00:21:15] Ați făcut completării necesare. Începusem să spun [00:21:20] cum nu trebuie să gândim să nu venim cu argumentul bunui simț pentru [00:21:25] că nu rezolvăm mare lucru. Bunul simț nu poate fi cuantificat și nu este universal [00:21:30] valabil.Difere de la o cultură la altă Însă, pide la cultura [00:21:35] afroamericanilor la cultura albilor protestanți. Și diferă [00:21:40] bunul simț de la cultura în raport cu cultura catolicilor. Deci [00:21:45] sunt culturi în care ceea ce e de bun simț pentru mine, [00:21:50] pentru ei nu e de bun simț. Deci nu bunul simț trebuie să [00:21:55] prevaleze trebuie să prevaleze ideea de bine comun, codificată în [00:22:00] limbaj politic, interesul public.Interesul public ce înseamnă? [00:22:05] Să încerci să iei drept criteriul de evaluare unde ne oprim [00:22:10] cu libertatea de expresie, acolo unde se pune problema [00:22:15] binelui tuturor, dacă nu al tuturor, pentru că e greu de realizat asta, [00:22:20] binele cât mai mult pentru un număr cât mai mare [00:22:25] de oameni. Este criteriul utilitarismului.[00:22:27] George Buhnici: Ok, sau dacă vreți o întorc eu invers, [00:22:30] lucrurile pe care ne-am vorbit de foarte multe ori aici să reducem suferința. [00:22:33] Dumitru Bortun: Să reducem suferința. [00:22:35] Ăsta e criteriul doctrinei utilitariste o doctrină etică, [00:22:40] reprezentatul cel mai important e John Stuart Mill. Are și o carte apărută în limba română [00:22:45] în librării, se găsește utilitarismul.John Stuart Mill asta spune că [00:22:50] ai un criteriu pentru cât mai mulți [00:22:55] oameni. Criteriul ăla pe care îl spune [00:23:00] în Sinedru, marele preot al [00:23:05] Israelului, că e bine să-l sacrifice pe Iisus decât să facă rău unui [00:23:10] popor întreg, era un sofist de fapt pentru că poporul nu murea dacă [00:23:15] ei nu-l crucificau. Însă el pune, argumentul ăsta este, pentru că [00:23:20] Iisus era un singur individ, iar poporul lui Izrael era format din [00:23:25] milioane.Și atunci dă prioritate celor care [00:23:30] sunt mai mulți. Genul ăsta de a gândi însă este salvator în [00:23:35] multe situații, pentru că alt criteriu nu avem. Nu avem criterii absolute pentru bine și rău. [00:23:40] Și atunci ne oprim cu libertatea de expresie acolo ne simțim că facem rău [00:23:45] mai mare. Și atunci haideți să comparăm.Dacă merg pe [00:23:50] discursul urii ăsta creează niște frustrări și [00:23:55] niște replici. Și feedback-ul ăla pozitiv care [00:24:00] amplifica, am mai vorbit despre el, și care poate să se ducă până la război civil. [00:24:03] George Buhnici: Când ziceți feedback [00:24:05] pozitiv este amplificarea urii. E [00:24:06] Dumitru Bortun: amplificare, nu e negativ, adică nu scade. [00:24:10] Iar ăsta, [00:24:15] libertatea de expresie, care poate să fie [00:24:20] deșântată duce la niște jigniri dar nu duce la violență.Și atunci, [00:24:25] care este mai aproape de binele comun? [00:24:30] Discursul urii sau corectul înapolitic? [00:24:35] Înțelegeți cum trebuie să gândim? Dar [00:24:40] corectitudinea [00:24:43] George Buhnici: politică a fost acuzată de foarte [00:24:45] multe ori de conservatori că este un slippery slope, că este alunecoasă, că ne [00:24:50] aduce către alte probleme Lucru pe care îl vedem și începem să venim ușor către Europa, [00:24:55] că se pare că noi nu am învățat din ce s-a întâmplat în Statele Unite și vedem asta acum în [00:25:00] Marea Britanie.Pas cu pas, britanicii simt că au [00:25:05] alunecat, că au ajuns într-un stat care [00:25:10] încearcă să-i controleze, care încearcă să-i forceze cu [00:25:15] migrație excesivă. Pentru [00:25:18] Dumitru Bortun: că ei nu au ajuns la [00:25:20] nivelul de autocontrol. Deci eu când am vorbit până acum, eu [00:25:25] vorbesc idealizând puțin adică idealizând ființa umană ca fiind o ființă [00:25:30] morală care are responsabilitatea faptelor sale și [00:25:35] consecințele științelor faptelor sale și atunci îți pui problema ce e mai rău [00:25:40] corecturile politică sau discursul lor și până la urmă îmi spui că e mai rău [00:25:45] discursul lor, că poate să ducă la război civil.Dar aveți [00:25:50] dreptate că nu toți oamenii sunt capabili de gândirea asta, pentru că gândirea asta de tip [00:25:55] moral este și o gândire mai abstractă. Ori nu toți oamenii își termină [00:26:00] ciclu de formare spirituală Nu-ți rămân needucați pe la jumătatea [00:26:05] drumului, sunt așa zis și neisprăviți. Oamenii ăștia nu pot să gândească moral, nu pot să [00:26:10] se gândească la...De-aia pleacă de acasă și își lasă copiii de [00:26:15] izbeliște, pentru că nu sunt suficient de responsabili, nu [00:26:20] s-au maturizat, nu au intrat în etapa etică a vârstei a vieții, sunt la [00:26:25] vârsta estetică, fac ce le place. Deci genul ăsta de [00:26:30] comportament l-a țăizat bine. Există [00:26:35] și societatea americană, și în societatea [00:26:40] britanică dar la britanici și știu unde batez la evenimente recente, este vorba de [00:26:45] revoltele care au avut loc de curând împotriva [00:26:50] imigranților.[00:26:50] George Buhnici: Despre ele vreau să vorbim acum. [00:26:52] Dumitru Bortun: Da. [00:26:52] George Buhnici: Așadar am văzut [00:26:55] protestele foarte recente cu peste 100 de 100 de oameni în stradă mult peste 100 de mii În [00:27:00] anumite locuri am văzut 100 de mii că se spunea. Important este că au ieșit mult mai mulți în stradă cei [00:27:05] care scandează împotriva imigrației, în timp ce pe [00:27:10] partea cealaltă am văzut puțini oameni la protestele care să protejeze [00:27:15] imigranții.Am văzut inclusiv pancarte de pe tabara cealaltă [00:27:20] destul de greu găsit, care spunea să-i mulțumim Lui Dumnezeu pentru imigranții. Thank God for [00:27:25] immigration, da, și alte lucruri, că mai bine să ne educăm decât să urăm imigranții și așa mai [00:27:30] departe Pe de altă parte ceilalți vin și spun că imigrația a fost scăpată de sub [00:27:35] control și că imigranții abuzează serviciile sociale, că nu vor să se [00:27:40] integreze, că schimbă țesătura socială a Marii Britanii.[00:27:44] Dumitru Bortun: [00:27:45] Domnul Bucnici, să încep tot cu un adevăr banal dar de multe ori [00:27:50] trebuie să plecăm de la lucruri banale ca să construim un argument. [00:27:55] Imensa majoritatea oamenilor nu sunt filozofii [00:28:00] și cetățenii britanici intră în aceeași categorie. Nu fac filozofie [00:28:05] istoriei și nu gândesc din perspectiva unei [00:28:10] istorie a civilizației.Dacă... [00:28:15] Vedeți am citit cu ani în urmă istoria civilizațiilor al lui Arnold [00:28:20] Toynbee. Pe urmă am citit... citit cartea lui Neagos Juvara, teza lui de [00:28:25] doctorat de istoria civilizațiilor. Știți cât e de șocant [00:28:30] când citești așa ceva? Seamănă cu o vizită la [00:28:35] cimitir. După o vizită la cimitir se devalorizează [00:28:40] totul.Nu mai știi dacă merită să te lupti pentru ce te-ai luptat până în ziua de azi. [00:28:45] Când vezi acolo că cimitirul e plin de oameni de neînlocuit. [00:28:49] George Buhnici: Care [00:28:49] Dumitru Bortun: au [00:28:50] fost cineva la viața lor. Și care până la urmă ajungem tot. [00:28:54] George Buhnici: Deocamdată [00:28:55] Ați văzut liderii din BRICS Care își fac planuri pentru încă [00:29:00] 70 de ani Fiecare Și [00:29:02] Dumitru Bortun: ce vreau să vă spun [00:29:05] Are loc o devalorizare A mizelor Pentru care noi trăim [00:29:10] La fel este când vezi istoria La scară mare [00:29:15] Când am citit Neagul Juvara de pildă Faptul că [00:29:20] Atunci când se schimbă o civilizație Cu alta Ajung în [00:29:25] frunte Oameni care nu au nimic de pierdut Care în civilizația trecută Nu [00:29:30] aveau nimic Și sunt primii Care luptă pentru [00:29:35] schimbare Și în mod firesc ajung în frunte Nu te mai miri Că au ajuns [00:29:40] în fruntea României Cei mai bogați oameni Niște oameni neanalfabeți Sau niște [00:29:45] oameni semidocți Deci [00:29:47] George Buhnici: vorbim despre oportuniști Care [00:29:50] neavând nimic de pierdut Și asumă Riscuri pe care oamenii De treabă [00:29:55] Oamenii civilizati, educați Și care au [00:29:57] Dumitru Bortun: un statut socioprofesional La care [00:30:00] țin s-au învățat în el S-au învățat cu avantajele lui Ăia nu milțează [00:30:05] pentru schimbare Și cu timpul schimbarea Îi ia pe sus și ei rămân în urmă [00:30:10] Rămân printre ultimii Și în frunte se trezesc Ăia care nu aveau nimic de [00:30:15] pierdut Când Neagul Juvara face analiză istorică Și arată că de fiecare dată [00:30:20] S-a întâmplat așa Când s-a trecut de la civilizația agrară la civilizația industrială, [00:30:25] acum se trece de la civilizația industrială la civilizația informațională și sunt la același [00:30:30] lucru.Și zic dom'le, gata, am înțeles. Dar [00:30:35] devii mai calm, devii mai zen, înțelegi cum stau [00:30:40] lucrurile, nu te mai înfurii, nu te mai indignezi, nu mai protestezi. Ori acești [00:30:45] oameni care ies în stradă n-au cum să-și dea seama că există o [00:30:50] tendință la nivel civilizațional de [00:30:55] migrarea oamenilor din spre est spre vest și din spre sud spre nord.[00:30:59] George Buhnici: [00:31:00] Și care va fi amplificată [00:31:01] Dumitru Bortun: Va fi amplificată în viitor. [00:31:03] George Buhnici: Și [00:31:03] Dumitru Bortun: ei nefiind [00:31:05] filozofia istoriei nu pot să zic, da, dom'le, așa stau lucrurile, ăsta e trendul. Ies [00:31:10] și-și apără locurile de muncă, își apără fetele ca să nu fie [00:31:15] violate de niște oameni, care vin din alte țări, sau [00:31:20] pur și simplu își apără identitatea domnului București.Pentru că mulți au [00:31:25] problema asta. Sunt de altă religie. Sunt de altă [00:31:30] factură. Ăștia nu putem ști la ce ne aștept de la ei. Și de multe ori e și [00:31:35] ignoranța. Pentru că ce s-a înzblat în București cu [00:31:40] băiatul ăla pognit în față pentru că e diferit și pentru că e [00:31:45] invadatorul nostru, asta vine din ignoranță. O dată tipul ăla de [00:31:50] 22 de ani care l-a pognit în față nu știe că noi nu avem resursă [00:31:55] umană, nu avem forță de muncă pentru aceste joburi și în al lui el nu știe că oamenii ăștia [00:32:00] sunt ori hinduși ori budiști, ori confucianiști [00:32:05] din țării din care vin, în care sunt oameni pașnici oameni care nu fură, [00:32:10] sunt mai cinstizi decât majoritatea românilor.Noi până nu facem [00:32:15] un chilipir, până nu păcărim pe cineva Pe [00:32:17] George Buhnici: da. Cum? Pe medie da. Pe [00:32:18] Dumitru Bortun: medie vorbesc. [00:32:20] Noi avem o rală a foloaselor necuvenite pe care se vede în toate domeniile. De la ăla [00:32:25] care i-aș pagă până la ăla care plăcează la doctorat în loc să [00:32:29] George Buhnici: [00:32:30] muncească el. Corect. Dar e exact ca în trafic, am mai dat exemplul ăsta de foarte [00:32:35] multe ori, unul singur trebuie să iasă din coloană și îl vedem toți.O să ne fugă atenția la [00:32:40] el. Un singur migrant care creează o problemă, la câteva mii, zeci de [00:32:45] mii, noi avem prea puțin într-adevăr Doar pentru câte nevoie este de resursă umană. Dacă stai de vorbă [00:32:50] cu orice antreprenor din țara, s-o să spună că duce lipsă acută de forță de muncă de [00:32:55] orice nivel de calificare.[00:32:56] Dumitru Bortun: Dar noi schimbarăm puțin subiectul. Asta era doar o [00:33:00] paranteză. Problema era că ăsta fiind străin, fiind diferit, fiind de altă religie s-ar [00:33:05] putea să cine știe ce ne facă. Fiindcă noi nu-l cunoaștem. [00:33:10] Documentează-te, interesează-te. [00:33:12] George Buhnici: Ajungem și acolo pentru că România este într-o situație foarte [00:33:15] interesantă.Această comunicare atât agresivă împotriva [00:33:20] imigranților într-o țară care de fapt are mari probleme de [00:33:25] emigrație, nu de imigrație. Este o țară de emigranți, nu în care se imigrează. Până și [00:33:30] ucrainenii. Era un comedian care a făcut o poantă foarte, foarte faină [00:33:35] care spunea că românii sunt atât de [00:33:40] primitori încât sunt mai mulți ucraineni refugiați în Bulgaria decât în România.Ăia [00:33:45] ca să ajungă în Bulgaria să treacă prin România, nu să oprescă, să duc la Bulgari. Bă, și Bulgaria e mai săracă Și [00:33:50] totuși sunt mai mulți ucraineni per total, ca număr refugiați decât în România. Te pun [00:33:55] un pic pe gânduri chestia asta. Ăia nu sunt nici de altă culoare, nici de altă religie. [00:34:00] Merg la următoare întrebare.[00:34:04] Dumitru Bortun: Dumneavoastră, nu [00:34:05] aveți o explicație? [00:34:06] George Buhnici: Ba da. [00:34:07] Dumitru Bortun: Nu suntem așa cum ne place să credem [00:34:10] că suntem. Că suntem toleranți și primitori. Știți cum suntem noi? Suntem ca [00:34:13] George Buhnici: mașinilele pe care scrie [00:34:15] sport. Dacă scrie sport pe mașină mașina aia nu-i sport. N-ar fi [00:34:20] nevoie [00:34:20] Dumitru Bortun: să scrie. [00:34:21] George Buhnici: Exact. [00:34:22] Dumitru Bortun: Deci noi ne punem aceste podoabe că [00:34:25] suntem toleranți.Dar din când în când în [00:34:30] istorie am dovedit că nu suntem. Dumneavoastră știți cât greu s-a [00:34:35] desfințat sclavia în România? [00:34:36] George Buhnici: Am fost ultimii din Europa care am oprit eobagia. [00:34:40][00:34:40] Dumitru Bortun: Da. [00:34:40] George Buhnici: Am [00:34:41] Dumitru Bortun: fost ultimii în Europa care am destinsat robia. Romii erau [00:34:45] robi. Asta sclavacism. Și era sub [00:34:50] presiunea Europei exact cum este acum.Ne spuneau [00:34:55] dacă vreți să vă primim în cadrele noastre și să deveniți europeni, trebuie să [00:35:00] terminați cu mizeria asta care este sclavacism. [00:35:05] Robii domnești, robii mânăstirești, robii boierești. Și toți erau [00:35:10] romi Deci asta nu înseamnă... Și eu [00:35:15] vă spun, am auzit acum câțiva ani, la aeroport eram la otopeni, o [00:35:20] discuție între niște din poliția de aeroport.Ce mă mai [00:35:25] revede că așteaptă și niște oameni acolo să uită și zice ăia sunt oameni, sunt țigani. Deci [00:35:30] această formă de [00:35:35] rasism și această formă de șovinism există încă, dar nu e [00:35:40] recunoscută palpită Știți? [00:35:45] În populația României și în instituții de multe ori Constituțiile statului au [00:35:50] astfel de atitudini.Deci nu. Pământ, gândiți-vă ce am făcut [00:35:55] în timpul celui de-al doilea război mondial vis-a-vis de evrei. Și [00:36:00] multe alte exemple. Nu mai zic ce au făcut [00:36:05] administratorii români în cadrii la ter în timpul ocupației românești de acolo Cu [00:36:10] turții, cu tătarii. Sau-au făcut [00:36:12] George Buhnici: jandarmii în Basarabia. [00:36:13] Dumitru Bortun: Da, jandarmii care [00:36:15] au lăsat o amintire foarte urâtă acolo.Deci toate lucrurile astea scot [00:36:20] la iveală anumite aspecte ale psihologiei românilor de care [00:36:25] nu ne place să vorbim, le băgăm sub covor, dar care îi zbognesc din când în [00:36:30] când. Iată de ce în România nu se simt foarte [00:36:35] bine niște oameni veniți din afară și preferă să se ducă în Bulgaria, de pildă, care [00:36:40] e mai sărac.[00:36:40] George Buhnici: Vin de la festivalul vinului moldovenesc, [00:36:45] pe Kiselev. Acolo am fost în seara asta și [00:36:50] de fapt profesional mă uit la oameni. Am văzut un cuplu de [00:36:55] japonezi cred că era, și un singur tip de culoare. În [00:37:00] rest nu prea am văzut străini. Pe de altă parte ni se tot spune pe social media că [00:37:05] românii habar nu au ce să Frumoasă țară au și ce [00:37:10] frumoasă e coeziunea noastră socială în care nu suntem invadați și care să [00:37:15] ținem să protejăm chestia asta.Din nou, nu sunt sigur [00:37:20] dacă îmi doresc să văd mult mai mult străini, dar nu sunt sigur [00:37:25] dacă avem prea puțini. [00:37:27] Dumitru Bortun: Eu unul m-aș bucura. Eu sunt [00:37:30] unul dintre oamenii care valorizează pozitiv diferența. [00:37:35] Care cred că diferențele sunt o sursă de dezvoltare, [00:37:40] sunt un bagaj. Apropo de cei care scuiau, [00:37:45] ne-a dat Dumnezeu darul ăsta cu imigranții, [00:37:50] pentru că unii îi urăsc și vor să-i trimită înapoi iar alții spun că este un [00:37:55] dar de la Dumnezeu să ai imigranții, să ai în primul rând o forță de muncă pentru anumite [00:38:00] meserici, în al doilea rând să ai o diversitate culturală religioasă.Care e problema? [00:38:05] Care e problema că sunt diferiți de tine? Te sperii atât mult diferența? Te bag [00:38:10] așa în angoasă și în insecuritate și în incertitudine? Iată, [00:38:15] deci, eu cred că oamenii care îi urăsc pe străini sunt [00:38:20] permite să încalcă principiul corectitudinii politice, [00:38:25] am să fiu liber, ca la exprimare sunt minți înguste și suflete [00:38:30] mici.[00:38:30] George Buhnici: Ok. Pentru că noi toți am profitat de pe urma [00:38:35] prosperității și felul în care am fost primiți în multe alte țări. [00:38:40][00:38:40] Dumitru Bortun: Absolut. [00:38:41] George Buhnici: Și totuși, ce face aceste proteste cum am văzut în Marea [00:38:45] Britanie? Nu bag mâna în foc, că nu o vedem unul curând și pe la noi, deși încă o dată, noi nu avem o problemă urgentă, [00:38:50] dar ce face ca aceste proteste să strângă masea atât de [00:38:55] mari?Încă o dată, eu cred că ce-am văzut la Londra e doar începutul. De unde vine chestia asta? Pentru că e prima [00:39:00] dată când auzim că oamenii sunt mai preocupați de migrație decât de economie. [00:39:05] E o chestie de identitate? E o chestie de manipulare prin presă sau de social media? [00:39:10] Și, și, și. [00:39:11] Dumitru Bortun: În primul rând e o problemă de identitate și oamenii sunt [00:39:15] foarte sensibili la problema asta cu [00:39:20] identitatea Cine sunt?Cine suntem noi? Ne raportăm la alții [00:39:25] prin diferențe și vin ăștia peste noi care sunt diferiți și așa mai [00:39:30] departe. Pe urmă este lipsa de cunoaștere. Dumneavoastră [00:39:35] am mai vorbit cred, la dumneavoastră, am vorbit despre sindromul chinezesc. [00:39:40] Eu folosesc expresia asta, expresia [00:39:45] mea. De la distanță tot chinezii sunt la fel.[00:39:50]Seamănă între ei. Dar ia du-te și stai acolo câteva [00:39:55] luni sau câțiva ani că începi să-i deosebești. Îți dai seama ce vârste au. Ce [00:40:00] înseamnă un chinez tânăr un chinez la vârstă mijlocie, un chinez în vârstă bătrân. [00:40:05] Opa, stai că începi să-mi nuanțezi percepția. De ce? Îi [00:40:10] cunosc. Cu cât îi cunoști mai puțin cu atât îi vezi la fel.[00:40:15] Ăsta-i sindromul chinezesc. Păi asta este cu orice alt grup uman. De la [00:40:20] distanță par toți la fel. Îi bagi într-o categorie fiindcă e mai comod mental. [00:40:25] În momentul în care îi cunoști, viața te obligă să faci diferență Între ei, [00:40:30] ce spună Spună bună dimineața îi spun să rămână. Deci trebuie să știu cu [00:40:35] cine am de-a face, încep să vezi diferențele.Eu cred că [00:40:40] o mare parte dintre aceste [00:40:45] mișcări de masă se bazează pe ignoranță. În [00:40:50] altă parte, în altă măsură, se bazează pe grija [00:40:55] pentru identitate și în altă măsură pe manipulare. [00:41:00] Pe faptul că rețelele sociale amplifică. Și atunci ce se întâmplă, [00:41:05] domnul Bunic? Rețelele astea sociale amplifică, știți cum?[00:41:10] Și intensiv și ca amploare, [00:41:15] extensiv. Ca amploare e normal să înțelege toată lumea. Datorită [00:41:20] multiplicării fără limite a mesajelor, o masă [00:41:25] imensă de oameni... [00:41:25] George Buhnici: Poate să afle orice nenorocire Mesajul. Da [00:41:28] Dumitru Bortun: Și poate să [00:41:30] creadă că mai are puțin și ia foc Marea Britanie. Sau [00:41:33] George Buhnici: că usturoiul ăla chiar [00:41:35] este cât roata de la bicicletă.[00:41:36] Dumitru Bortun: Exact. Și cred, pentru că sunt mai mulți. [00:41:40] Și apare acel sofism, acel argument [00:41:45] fals, că dacă și alții zic înseamnă că așa e. Pe urmă... [00:41:50] Știu [00:41:50] George Buhnici: eu pe cineva care a văzut că pământul e plat. [00:41:51] Dumitru Bortun: Da, da, da. Cunosc și eu un caz la Bacău.[00:41:55]Ceva de genul ăsta. S-a [00:42:00] labuzat. S-a labuzat, labuzat labuzat Labuzat, da. Așa. Deci asta este [00:42:05] un aspect. Dar mai e un aspect. Cu cât discuțiile [00:42:10] sunt mai numeroase pe internet, cu atât oamenii [00:42:15] devin mai fanatici cu propriile opinii. Și știți de ce? Noi am mai [00:42:20] discutat la un podcastul meu astăzi. Aici vorbim de paradigme.Ori într-o paradigmă [00:42:25] argumentele sunt circulare. Ele pleacă de la premisele paradigmei [00:42:30] și confirmă întăresc premisele. Și cu cât un [00:42:35] om își dezvoltă mai mult demonstrația și argumentele, cu atât se [00:42:40] luminează mai mult câtă dreptate are. Ca Charlie Kirk. Exact. Exact [00:42:45] cazul ăsta. Și atunci apare... Această circularitate, cu [00:42:50] cât vorbesc mai mult, cu atât mă convinc mai mult.Deci dialogul nu ne unește. Dialogul ne [00:42:55] desparte și mai rău. Este ceea ce se numește, în teoria comunicării, [00:43:00] dialogul surzilor. Fiecare s-au de pe el, nu l-au de pe celălalt. Deci [00:43:05] rețele sociale au dus la o amplificare și ca amploare, [00:43:10] la o adâncime și adâncire a diferențelor și [00:43:15] a opozițiilor ca intensitate.[00:43:17] George Buhnici: Nu durează puțin chestia asta. Durează [00:43:20] E un proces complex. Dar dacă ne uităm un pic în spate aveam rețele sociale de suficient de multă vreme încât să-și făcut [00:43:25] efectul acești algoritmi Într-o competiție acerbă pentru audiență au amplificat lucrurile care [00:43:30] se viralizează, iar apoi au apărut actorii statali care folosesc [00:43:35] aceste narațiuni pentru politica lor externă.Și aici întrebarea este, cum [00:43:40] lucrează aceste narațiuni, cum ar fi narațiunea invaziei a re-emigrării în aceste emoții [00:43:45] colective? Și cine le orchestrează? Credeți că există păpușari sau este doar furia noastră [00:43:50] care ne ocupă pe noi înșine pe toți? Există păpușari [00:43:54] Dumitru Bortun: care [00:43:55] profită de pe urma acestor furii. [00:44:00] E foarte interesant.Are Salman Rushdie, cel care a scris [00:44:05] versetele satanice, are un roman, Furia, în care [00:44:10] face o analiză de mare subtilitate acolo, acțiunea petrecându-se în Statele Unite ale [00:44:15] Americii. Se izizează manifestările de furie în [00:44:20] diferite domenii și pe diferite niveluri sociale. Furia ca stat. [00:44:25] E spirit, ca spirit al epocii de spirit de taim [00:44:30] Putem spune că furia este emoția [00:44:32] George Buhnici: acestei generații?Da, [00:44:33] Dumitru Bortun: da. Asta [00:44:35] demonstrează Salman Rushdie. E tulburător să [00:44:40] ai zis seama că s-a născut o generație sub ochii noștri și din mâinile noastre [00:44:45] furioasă. Știți că prin anii 60 a păruse un [00:44:50] curent în dramaturgia britanică tinerii furioși. Care au scris [00:44:55] niște piese foarte cunoscute la vremea respectivă, Camera în formă [00:45:00] de el, Fiață sportivă, Privește înapoi cu mânie, [00:45:05] Singurătatea alergătorii de cursă lungă, toate astea au devenit filme de mare [00:45:10] artisticitate.Tinerii furioși era [00:45:15] prima repriză. Au urmat repriza a doua, s-au mai calmat, au [00:45:20] urmat Revoluția sexuală, au urmat mișcări despre înțelegi în 68, hippie [00:45:25] și așa mai departe. Hippie care erau pacifiști la bază. Da erau pacifiști, dar tot [00:45:30] pacifismul ăsta lor retragerea din societate era de fapt o reacție de contestare a [00:45:35] societății moștenite la părinților.Ăștia de astăzi nu mă să mai retrag pur [00:45:40] și simplu for să o distrugă, pentru că nu le place ce au primit ca moștenire. [00:45:44] George Buhnici: O parte [00:45:45] dintre ei, că avem și retrași o vedem în Asia, începem să vedem și [00:45:50] la noi, nu știu dacă ați auzit, n-am apucat eu să vă trimit înainte, vorbim mai nou, să [00:45:55] mă ierte cei mai tineri despre the Gen Z stare, adică [00:46:00] chestia asta, atitudinea asta, că orice îl întrebi, când vorbești cu unul mai [00:46:05] tânăr, care a luat un job, se uită așa la tine, fără reacție.The [00:46:10] stare, adică pur și simplu se uită, această mină pietrificată. Poker face. [00:46:15] Poker face. Acest poker face, generația poker face, am putea să-i spună dacă vreți. Deci [00:46:20] avem genul ăsta de retragere orică un fel de revolt orică ar pur și simplu ca plictiseală [00:46:25] ca demotivare sau pur și simplu descărcare completă de emoție după atât de [00:46:30] multă furie cât este amplificată și refuzul [00:46:32] Dumitru Bortun: de implicare emoțională [00:46:33] George Buhnici: da [00:46:35] deci furie și refuz de implicare aici suntem între astea două [00:46:40] ok, toate astea sunt amplificate de tot felul de [00:46:45] influențări care mulți dintre ei se pun în fața oamenilor dar de fapt sunt niște miliardari [00:46:50] de aici spun că luptă acolo pentru interesea oamenilor și Charlie Kirk era finanțat de miliardari nu era nici el [00:46:55] sărac foarte puternic susținut de Elon Musk transportat [00:47:00] sicriul lui de J.D Vance cu Air Force 2 și [00:47:05] asta este doar exemplul ăsta concret dar mai avem oameni foarte bucăți cum a fost pe exemplu că vă [00:47:10] povesteam la un moment dat vorbeam noi despre acel influencer care a venit cu un avion privat la București [00:47:15] să ia un interviu unei candidate la prezidențiale doar dorind să [00:47:20] salveze democrația românească tot felul de influențări în ăștia parașutați cu foarte mulți bani [00:47:25] de ce credeți că acești miliardari folosesc aceste [00:47:30] narațiuni în acest mod și acești algoritmi împotriva oamenilor [00:47:35] ce [00:47:35] Dumitru Bortun: se iunește pe ei Pe [00:47:40] evanghelicii albi din Middle America parcă de [00:47:45] mijlocul Americii Și pe mari miliardari care vin din aceste [00:47:50] industrie de vârf.[00:47:51] George Buhnici: Așa. [00:47:54] Dumitru Bortun: [00:47:55] Doctrina acceleraționistă. Se numește așa pentru că pleacă de la... [00:48:00] Se duce în multe direcții, dar pleacă de la un trunc comun. De la [00:48:05] constatarea că istoria s-a accelerat și că [00:48:10] ritmul de evoluție tehnologică e atât de mare [00:48:15] încât societatea nu mai face față nu mai ține ritm. Și atunci, [00:48:20] marii reprezentanții ai firmelor tehnologice [00:48:25] vor să limiteze democrația, pe care o simt [00:48:30] înceată, birocratizată o simt că nu ține pasul cu [00:48:35] inovarea tehnologică și domeniul cu care sunteți foarte [00:48:40] familiari, că lucrați în domeniul ăsta și promovați, progresul [00:48:45] tehnologic, bine faceți, dar ei spun așa că democrația este un [00:48:50] regim politic cronofag.Știți? [00:48:53] George Buhnici: Că ține pe loc. [00:48:55][00:48:55] Dumitru Bortun: Mănâncă timp Și până când [00:49:00] ajungi să iei o decizie, a trecut, a zburat [00:49:05] gaia cu mațul. Nu mai ai timp. [00:49:10] A zburat momentul în care trebuia luată decizia Și să [00:49:15] acumulează o serie întreagă de blocaje care până la urmă să intră în criză și ei vor să [00:49:20] deblocheze chestia asta. [00:49:21] George Buhnici: Pentru că se văd într-o competiție cu alții care fac același lucru.Da. [00:49:25] Și vor să... [00:49:26] Dumitru Bortun: Toți ăștia care sunt în jurul lui Trump și [00:49:30] care finanțează MAGA, mișcarea asta, [00:49:35] America Great Again, sunt ăștia, [00:49:40] acceleraționiști. Ei se întâlnesc foarte bine cu aceștii [00:49:45] evanghelici albi din Middle America pentru că și pleacă de la ideea că s-a accelerat [00:49:50] și că dacă vrem să accelerăm, dacă e bine că [00:49:55] s-accelerează, pentru că vine...Mai repede Iisus. A doua venire a lui Iisus să se apropie mai [00:50:00] repede. Și atunci ei au intrat în administrație în politică [00:50:05] în școli, vor să intre peste tot, au teoria celor 8 munți. Nu [00:50:10] știu dacă știți vorbesc cu cei care ne urmăresc, dumneavoastră știți că în [00:50:15] Vechiul Testament există un simbol al muntelui, muntele Sinai, în care [00:50:20] Dumnezeu vorbește cu Moise și îi dă cele 10 [00:50:25] porunci, cele două table cu cele 10 porunci, există [00:50:30] muntele Tabor, există muntele Templului, sunt mai multe munți sfinți [00:50:35] care au o simbolistică foarte puternică pentru [00:50:40] iudaism pentru creștinism.Deci pentru iudeocrăștini, [00:50:45] aceștia evanghelici spun că îi trebuie să cucerească opt munți. Un munte [00:50:50] este administrația, alt munte este învățământul educația în [00:50:55] general, alt munte este sănătatea și trebuie să aibă oameni peste tot. Și [00:51:00] ăștia toți trebuie să accelereze și să țină ritm cât mai mult și s-au [00:51:05] întâlnit în foarte multe obiective, printre care cel antidemocratic, cu oamenii [00:51:10] de afaceri cu mari businessmen.Iată de ce se întâmplă în America. Se [00:51:15] dă peste cap o întreagă tradiție și un întreg mecanism de [00:51:20] evoluție socială. Și totul de la tehnologie, [00:51:25] domnul Bucnici. Cum adică de la tehnologie? Păi întotdeauna a fost așa Karl Marx [00:51:30] a vorbit în alți termeni, dar el spunea așa, forțele de producție determină tipul de relație de [00:51:35] producție.Și a vorbit de legea concordanței, între forțele de producție și relații de producție Ce sunt forțele [00:51:40] de producție? E tehnologia. [00:51:41] George Buhnici: Eu sunt de acord că e tehnologia, dar ce adaugă [00:51:45] marxistile în iniște este că, faimoasa zicere, că nu există câștig fără [00:51:50] ca cineva să-și fost furat. Și în cazul ăsta oamenii munce Nu, [00:51:53] Dumitru Bortun: e pe [00:51:55] altă linie, e pe altă direcție.În ceea ce plăcește mecanismul evoluției sociale În mecanismele de [00:51:58] George Buhnici: producție există un [00:52:00] asupritor care ia roadele acestei productivități de la oamenii muncii și nu [00:52:05] distribuie Știu [00:52:05] Dumitru Bortun: dar nu asta contează acum. Contează ce spuneam că ei spun că modurile de producție sunt [00:52:10] schimbate. Din cauza evoluției tehnologice.[00:52:13] George Buhnici: Așa. [00:52:13] Dumitru Bortun: Că [00:52:15] atunci când mijloacele de producții erau atât rudimentare încât trebuia să ne [00:52:20] ajutăm noi între noi, era comuna primitivă, după care s-au mai [00:52:25] evoluat mijloacele de producții, dar atunci nu erau suficiente pentru [00:52:30] ca toată lumea să stea și să producă, fiindcă nu erau mașini. Și atunci jumătatea din [00:52:35] omenire a fost transformată în sclavi.Și jumătatea au devenit stăpâni de [00:52:40] sclavi. Și au folosit păștea păstă unelte. Unelte vorbitoare cum [00:52:45] definește sclavul Aristotel. Un altă vorbitoare. O dată cu o [00:52:50] revoluție industrială apar mașinile. Opa, în momentul ăsta omul devine [00:52:55] conducător al mașinii, dar mașina face efortul în locul lui. Să termină cu [00:53:00] sclavia, apare capitalismul.Deci toate lucrurile astea sunt trase de [00:53:05] dezvoltarea tehnologică. [00:53:06] George Buhnici: Păi da dar tehnologia despre care ne-ați vorbit și care duce la această [00:53:10] tensiune, este cea care a redus cel mai mult suferința pentru toată planeta. [00:53:14] Dumitru Bortun: Eu n-am spus [00:53:15] că e rea. Eu explic de ce se întâmplă. Se întâmplă această mare transformare [00:53:20] socială în America, ea fiind vârful de lance al civilizației occidentale, se întâmplă [00:53:25] întâi la ei.[00:53:25] George Buhnici: Se [00:53:25] Dumitru Bortun: va întâmpla și la noi. Este vorba de aceste schimbări [00:53:30] produse de progresul tehnologic. Într-adevăr accelerat. [00:53:33] George Buhnici: Trebuie să mai gândiți la asta, [00:53:35] pentru că m-ați pus un pic pe gânduri. [00:53:36] Dumitru Bortun: Da, mai meditați. [00:53:37] George Buhnici: Mai dați un pic de gândire. [00:53:39] Dumitru Bortun: Asta nu [00:53:40] înseamnă că nu trebuie să promovați progresul tehnologii. Promovați-i Dar promovați-i în acea [00:53:45] paradigma [00:53:47] George Buhnici: utilitarismului.Da. Eu la asta mă uit. Spre binele [00:53:50] cât mai mari, pentru cât mai [00:53:51] Dumitru Bortun: mulți. [00:53:52] George Buhnici: Mâi la ceasul de la mâna noastră, care vă poate anunța când [00:53:55] aveți probleme de puls. Da, [00:53:56] Dumitru Bortun: exact. [00:53:56] George Buhnici: E nevoie de [00:53:57] Dumitru Bortun: așa ceva. Da, e un câștig. [00:53:58] George Buhnici: Dar nu putem să-l lăsăm pe [00:54:00] băiatul care deține compania aia să-și pună președinte. [00:54:03] Dumitru Bortun: Să ne pună șeful. [00:54:05] Exact.Pentru că el are companie, e lăudabil, dar nu îl a ales nimeni. [00:54:10] Exact. [00:54:10] George Buhnici: Bun. Revenim către România. România trece la [00:54:15] sfârșitul anului trecut prin anularea alegerilor prezidențiale, apoi vin valurile de proteste și o campanie [00:54:20] rerulată sub umbra acestei ingerințe ruse, despre care vorbim inclusiv în [00:54:25] Moldova cum și în alte locuri.Avem rețele pro-Kremlin și conexiuni [00:54:30] moldovene, inclusiv rețeaua SHORE, despre care aflăm tot mai multe zile la acestea prin cei care urmăresc foarte, [00:54:35] foarte interesant câte informații se laiveau în ultima perioadă despre această rețea SHORE, care [00:54:40] operează și la noi, care au amplificat Narațiuni peste tot, Facebook, Telegram și așa mai departe, [00:54:45] inclusiv mesajele anti-UE, dar și anti-migrație, despre care vorbeam puțin mai devreme.[00:54:50]Acum, întrebarea este. Revin un pic și aș vrea să [00:54:55] închidem această discuție Înțelegem că există aceste forme de manipulare și mult [00:55:00] o să zică, iarăși începe să vorbească buhnici de troli ruși. Dar credeți că există o [00:55:05] legătură între discursul anti-imigrație în România, o țară de emigranți nu de [00:55:10] imigrație, care să fie folosite de aceste rețele de [00:55:15] propagandă rusești?[00:55:16] Dumitru Bortun: Da. Scopul final [00:55:20] al propagandei rusești este dezmembrarea Uniunii [00:55:25] Europene, care reprezintă un mare obstacol din punct de vedere [00:55:30] comercial, tehnologic, economic, politic. Și [00:55:35] pentru asta trebuie să întoarcă popoarele astea [00:55:40] needucate din fosta zonă comunistă, [00:55:45] care au ieșit de curând din regimuri totalitare sau dictatoriale, să [00:55:50] le întoarcă împotriva Uniunii Europene.Și n-ai cum să-i [00:55:55] întorci decât spunându-le ce răi Uniunea Europeană, ce răi sunt [00:56:00] birocrații de la Bruxelles, ce lucruri relevă. Trebuie să le [00:56:05] dezvolți și mândria de a fi români sau de a fi bulgari [00:56:10] să dezvolți identitatea lor naționalistă, suveranistă, să le [00:56:15] propui suveranitate în condițiile în care o lume întreagă să devine [00:56:20] interconectată.Ei propun suveranitatea să rămași răul de tot în urmă. [00:56:25] Ca evoluție istorică Ei nu pricep în ce epocă ne aflăm, dar lucrează [00:56:30] cu materialul clientului. [00:56:31] George Buhnici: Ei vor să aibă telefoane produse în străinătate, internet, să se [00:56:35] uită să vadă, să aibă lumea să aibă o fereastră către lume aici? [00:56:37] Dumitru Bortun: Da, dar asta e tehnologie.Nu este [00:56:40] o imagine despre procesul istoric. Ei habar n-au că a existat [00:56:45] o epocă feudală, că a existat o epocă modernă că noi suntem în postmodernitate. Nu [00:56:50] au poziționat. Și gândesc că a nevăd mediul. [00:56:53] George Buhnici: Au acest fallacy că [00:56:55] poți să păstrezi, să stăm cu toții în ie și în costum popular, dar înconjurați de toate [00:57:00] fructele globalizării.[00:57:01] Dumitru Bortun: Da. Exact cum era în Iran la Revoluția lui Khomeini. Mi-a [00:57:05] spus cineva care a fugit de acolo. Era la noi în țară era studentul meu la [00:57:10] arhitectură. Și mi-a spus că marea majoritate, 80% [00:57:15] erau analfabeți, dar aveau televizor color în bordeile lor [00:57:20] acolo și câte un calașnicov dat de ruși. Așa s-a făcut Revoluția [00:57:25] musulmană.Ca la [00:57:25] George Buhnici: noi. Toată lumea are câte un smartphone și opinie pe TikTok. Și ei [00:57:29] Dumitru Bortun: [00:57:30] analfabetiți funcționă. Și [00:57:31] George Buhnici: totuși, atinge niște anxietăți, așa cum am mai auzit [00:57:35] lucrul ăsta, propaganda folosește anxietăți reale. Lucrează cu materialul [00:57:40] clientului. Piața muncii de identitate Mi-ați vorbit, servicii [00:57:45] publice. [00:57:45] Dumitru Bortun: Păi orice schimbare, domnul Bucurniciu orice schimbare creează anxietate.Prima este să [00:57:50] ești pregătit Sufletește de schimbare? Ești pregătit ideologic? [00:57:55] Ai niște idei care justifică schimbarea? Ți-a spus vreodată cineva că singurul absolut [00:58:00] care există în lume e schimbarea? În lumea de azi, [00:58:05] în lumea de aici, singurul lucru absolut e schimbarea. Restul e relativ, [00:58:10] pentru că totul se schimbă.Numai în cer există cineva care nu se [00:58:15] schimbă. Dumnezeu. Și-o și spune în Maleachi, unul dintre [00:58:20] cei mai interesanții profeți mici spune, eu nu mă schimb. [00:58:25] Eu sunt Dumnezeu nu mă schimb. Deci el e reperul fundamental pentru [00:58:30] noi ca să știm când ne schimbăm, când nu. Avem un reper fix, Dumnezeu [00:58:35] cu legile lui, cu legea morală, cu legea sanitară, cu tot ce [00:58:40] știm, discursul despre fericiri de pe munte.[00:58:45] Deci toate lucrurile astea să [00:58:50] înțelegem cred foarte bine când ai o cultură a schimbării [00:58:55] Și tu îți dai seama că trebuie să faci parte din schimbare, să ții pasul cu schimbarea, că dacă [00:59:00] nu-ți place schimbarea sau nu înțelege problema ta, nu e problema schimbării și că nimeni nu e de [00:59:05] vină. Tu trebuie să ții pasul cu ea.Dacă ai niște copii pe [00:59:10] care nu-i mai înțelegi e problema ta, trebuia să ții pasul cu ei și să înveți și [00:59:15] tu de la copiii tăi, nu doar Ei de la tine Pentru că tu le predai Ce se învețe de [00:59:19] George Buhnici: la [00:59:19] Dumitru Bortun: tine? Păi [00:59:20] ce se învețe de la tine? Ce era sub Ceaușescu? Să le bați, îi bați [00:59:25] la cap că era mai bine înainte sub Ceaușescu?Era mai bine pentru tine că era mai tânăr. Pentru ei n-ar fi [00:59:30] mai bine. Deci toate înapoierile astea ale noastre, [00:59:35] încetinea, inerția de a ne schimba, frica de a ne schimba, comoditatea. [00:59:40] Sunt multe ori care ne țin în loc să nu ne schimbăm. Și începem să înjurăm [00:59:45] schimbarea. Suntem împotriva ei. Și respectiv împotriva progresului [00:59:50] tehnologic, împotriva integrării transnaționale și împotriva [00:59:55] Uniunii Europene.Și ăștia atât așteaptă. Să ne întoarcă împotriva Uniunii Europene. [00:59:59] George Buhnici: Mi s-a [01:00:00] părut maxim când am văzut-o pe Madame Șoșoacă în căruță. Nu și-a căzut [01:00:05] imaginea. Cântând într-o căruță. [01:00:06] Dumitru Bortun: Dar face pe autochronista. [01:00:10][01:00:10] George Buhnici: Așadar avem partii de care au învățat să folosească chestiile astea. [01:00:15] Și folosesc toate acestea anxietate Și le transformă în capital politic.Pe de altă parte [01:00:20] avem și o coaliție la putere Care repetă toate greșelile pe care le-au făcut și alte [01:00:25] coaliții de voință. Din mai multe țări europene. În care ne strângem împreună pentru [01:00:30] interesul public. Nu mai face nimeni o poziție reală. Și atunci singurii care capitalizează [01:00:35] cine sunt. Exact cum s-a întâmplat în Germania.Că și Frau Merkel era într-o alianță [01:00:40] mare de tot acolo la putere. Multă vreme n-a deranjat-o nimeni. A avut [01:00:45] niște mandate foarte lungi și foarte liniștite. Era [01:00:48] Dumitru Bortun: chiar o liniște [01:00:50] suspectă. Știți cum se spune în literatură? Liniștea dinaintea furtunii. Asta era. [01:00:55][01:00:55] George Buhnici: Și acolo unde nu există opoziție, nu există dezbatere, democrația nu este vie, [01:01:00] se ridică întotdeauna extremiștii.Și acum vedem același lucru la noi. Am avut USL [01:01:05] până recent. Eu o-i zic USL, acest PSD-PNL, care acum este [01:01:10] în continuare mângăiat pe creștetă de președintele nostru Nicușor [01:01:15] Dan. Și vedem cum crește de la o zi la alta. Săptămâna asta a ieșit un [01:01:20] sondaj că coaliția de la putere mai are procente puține în [01:01:25] față În condițiile actuale.[01:01:27] Dumitru Bortun: E vreo 4%. [01:01:30] Vreau să vă spun că m-am gândit la aspectul ăsta. Am [01:01:35] trei recomandări, trei soluții. În primul rând ar [01:01:40] trebui să descurajeze statul și chiar să interzică dacă e cazul, [01:01:45] discursul urii Și să o facă până nu va fi prea târziu. [01:01:50] Atenți, unde discursul urii. O să-mi zic, da, dar asta nu e restrângerea libertății de [01:01:55] expresie?Ba da. Dar trebuie făcut. Și am să vă povestesc o [01:02:00] poezie lăsată moștenire de Martin [01:02:05] Niemöller, un pastor luteran din Germania, Care [01:02:10] a trăit 92 de ani, a murit în 1984, a supraviețuit la mai multe [01:02:15] lagăre naziste. Și își se spune în nume alături. Foarte interesan

On the latest episode of Minor Issues, Mark Thornton revisits the history—and present risk—of hyperinflation. Mark explains the threshold that defines hyperinflation, why measuring prices under chaos is hard (yet still revealing), and how the social damage mirrors war: savings vaporize, capital is destroyed, and civic trust collapses. He closes with practical takeaways: why gold and silver often move first as “fire alarms” and why studying past episodes builds the psychological and analytical readiness to face low-probability, high-impact events."The Road to Hyperinflation" (Minor Issues, Episode 136): https://mises.org/MI_136"The Gold-Silver Ratio" (Minor Issues, Episode 119): https://mises.org/MI_119"On Hyperinflation: New Evidence from Zambia, the Central African Franc Zone, and Belarus" by Steve H.

Ett av Europas största vilddjur utrotades helt i början av 1900-talet. Men tack vare några få djurparksdjur har den lyckats göra spektakulär comeback. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Programmet sändes första gången i februari 2025.Den europeiska bisonoxens återkomst och rewilding i SverigeVisenten, Europas största landlevande däggdjur, utrotades i det vilda under 1900-talets början. Men tack vare en långsiktig bevarandestrategi och ett femtiotal europeiska djurparksdjur, har arten gjort en imponerande comeback. Idag lever runt 7 000 visenter vilt i Europa, bland annat i Polen, Belarus och Rumänien. Nu undersöker svenska forskare om visenten kan, och bör, återinföras i Sverige.Världsarvet Bialowieza och de första återförvildade visenternaFölj med Vetenskapsradions Stefan Nordberg till Polen och Bialowieza-skogen, platsen där de första visenterna på 1950-talet åter trampade i vild natur. En plats som idag är hem för en av de största vilda populationerna – men det finns saker som tyder på att skogen kanske inte är så bra för arten som man kan tro.Reporter: Stefan Nordbergstefan.nordberg@sr.seProducent: Lars Broströmlars.brostrom@sr.se

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series! Magician On Duty Journey Series opens a new chapter in 2026 with Melamanos (@melamanos), a selector from Minsk, Belarus, whose relationship with music is less about genre and more about devotion. This is sound chosen with intention — soulful, patient, and unafraid to linger in the in-between. A true believer in the art of the slow dance, Melamanos moves through a wide emotional spectrum: from multicultural electronica and organic rhythms to romantic, introspective shades of tech. Since 2018, his path has been guided by downtempo and midtempo currents, tribal echoes, folktronic details, and the hypnotic pull of chillrave — music designed not to rush, but to breathe. His vision has shaped countless slow-rave gatherings in Minsk and carried him across distant dancefloors in Istanbul, Tbilisi, Milan, Moscow, Ericeira, and Ponta Delgada. When physical borders fade, his sound continues to travel — through podcasts and mixtapes shared with downtempo communities around the world. Now, that journey lands in Miami, woven into the fabric of Magician On Duty. This Journey Series mix is an exercise in balance and honesty. A gentle tension between slow and fast, light and shadow, beauty and imperfection. Melodies dissolve into minimalism, the old converses with the new, and movement emerges naturally from stillness. It is introspective without losing its pulse — a mix that invites both contemplation and dance. Featuring music from Dandara & Arutani, Niklas Paschburg, Bedouin, Geju, Ninze, Roze, MC and me, and more, the selection unfolds like a quiet ritual — subtle, deep, and deeply human. This is music for late hours and open minds. A slow flame, carefully tended. An invitation to listen, feel, and move — honestly. Enjoy the journey.

Nga tuyên bố đã bố trí các tên lửa có khả năng mang đầu đạn hạt nhân đến Belarus và chúng đang được đưa vào hoạt động. Hành động này đưa vũ khí đến gần châu Âu hơn, trong bối cảnh Nga đang cứng rắn hơn nữa, trong các cuộc đàm phán hòa bình với Ukraine.

Russia says nuclear-capable missiles have been deployed to Belarus and are in active service. It brings the weapons closer to Europe as Russia toughens its negotiating position in peace talks with Ukraine.

WWIII Begins End of 2025 (1) (audio) David Eells, 12/28/25 Allison Pound 7/31/25 (Davids notes in red) The Lord began to speak to me about what He is doing and what is to come: Be not afraid of what I Am doing in the earth dear one. Draw near to Me. Though none go with you, run to Me. Come right up under My Wings. Just as I tell you in My Word. Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High Psalm 91 is in play. I have begun to speak to My prophets about this year of 2025. I have only just begun to say what I want to say. If you will sit with Me, I will tell you much, much more. And you will tell the people. This is how I want it. Remain in My Presence. Write all that I tell you. 2030 is a year I have not spoken to you about. But I have to some. I will tell you about 2030. This is just 5 years away from where you are now. I assure you that you will still be here, on earth, in that year. (That time is pointed out because it brings us to the mark of the beast that most think they will rapture before.) Remember, you are still in the labour pains, pre-tribulation. You shall still be here. And beyond a little while. (Past 2030 to the end of the tribulation.) Yes, I know many are expecting to be raptured this year in September. Or any day before or soon after. They are foolish. I have not told them the day or the hour of My return. And I will not. But as time goes on, the wise who have prepared themselves to endure the tribulation will come to know when to expect Me. They will have this knowing in their spirit. It will build to a climactic point. The wise also know at what time of year to expect Me. This is why My feast days are so important. They teach My beloved to watch, to set a watchman. It will be important to know the time and date in the coming days because the moon and the sun will be dimmed at some point. (Because of war, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.)  It will not be easy to tell by simply looking up. Darkness and thick clouds on the Day of the Lord. Remember My word says this. (There is a Day of the Lord at the end of the Brides tribulation just as there is at the end of the Churches tribulation. If you do not know the difference read Song of Soloman and Esther, which are parables.) I will not set aside My Word and come on a day that is not an appointed feast. Why would I do that? I Am the Lord. My Word and I are one. The World War will begin to get into full swing at the end of this year of 2025. (At the end of the brides tribulation and beginning of the Man-childs reign and Churches tribulation.) Christmas in Europe will not be a happy time. I will have the middle to the northeast of Europe out in the streets this Christmas. (Their paranoia is pushed by the left and NATO that Russia is prepared to attack while their DS Kazarians are the ones trying to make this war happen because they think the U.S. will be forced in on their side. Ukraine and Russia are still bombing each other and taking down ships and oil tankers that belong to other nations. Are we not becoming ripe for a WW? It will not be stopped but pray for good to happen, which I will explain.) (This is Austria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Switzerland, Ukraine, Belarus, Finland, Latvia, Estonia, and Czechia) (Will it spread? It appears we are at the time of the Man-child ministries anointing. What happens just after that? Rev 6:2  And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer. (This is Jesus in the Man-child reformers, whose prophetic words and actions will conquer the  World.) 3  And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come. 4  And another horse came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. This is a World War. Pray!) Bombs will fall in countries that do not expect war. (Because their DS Kazarian leadership must die; they are a part of Babylon.) No bombs will fall in America. (Because America will not effectually join with NATO to defend their DS Kazarians who will be bundled by the angels as tares to be burned. It is understood that the Europeans and Scandinavians are not our or the Russians enemies; their leadership is.) That (bombing of America) will happen after the WW. (To take down our own bundled tares.) I want you to see the order of things. Something many dont know is that the main forces of the Alliance of Nations headed by Cyrus/Trump are the U.S., Russia, and China. These are held together by NESARA/GESARA dividing up the money taken from the DS Kazarian leadership who rules NATO and its nations. Our old alliance with NATO to defend Europe from the Russians is flimsy at best. Although we dont flaunt it, we have more in common with the Russians, which have also been at war with the DS Kazarians for many years. So, these satanists want a war between U.S. and Russia to take out their strongest enemies. Initially, I dont believe this will happen but later it will.) There has, historically, been an agreement of no bombs (ceasefire), no war on Christmas day, yet this will no longer be the case anymore. (It appeared Russia and Ukraine continued without ceasefire. The Ukrainian Nazis will be conquered by Russia because the people are theirs.) Peace is being taken from the earth. I do not like Christmas. I abhor the practice. I Am making an example of Christmas. This is a purely pagan practice in some of the countries of Europe. I Am targeting these places. I want you to know that there are goat nations and there are sheep nations. I Am causing a separation. Those who want to be sheep will have to leave the goat nations because they will not be safe places for My people to reside. There is going to be a great migration of peoples. The turmoil of this WW will irrevocably affect the whole earth. It will change all the nations. Some nations will not be able to cope or accommodate the people arriving there looking for a safe place to reside. There will be much finger-pointing. (Islaam, as usual, will turn against the nations who are taking them in.) Australia, which has been criticized much for the boat people fiasco, will open its arms and welcome war refugees. But there will be a cut-off point, where leaders will say they can accommodate no more. This will be an overwhelming time for many and it begins at the end of this year of 2025. Safety will be found personally in those who abide in Christs Word. Psa 91:1-16 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust. 3 For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked. 9 For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. 11 For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation. Joel 2:1 Blow the rams horn in Zion; sound the alarm on My holy mountain! Let all who dwell in the land tremble, for the Day of the LORD is coming; indeed, it is near 2 a day of darkness and gloom, a day of cloud and blackness. Like the dawn overspreading the mountains a great and strong army appears, such as never was of old, nor will ever be in ages to come. Joel 2:31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. Zephaniah 1:14 The great Day of the LORD is nearnear and coming quickly. Listen, the Day of the LORD! Then the cry of the mighty will be bitter. 15 That day will be a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of destruction and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness.   We are Now in that Season Where Everything Will Change  Alison Pound- 6/11/25 (Davids notes in red) Tuesday 3rd June 2025 This is to be a year like no other. Many things shall come to pass. Most of them judgment events. The World War will begin in earnest. Europe, all of Europe, will be drawn into this war. As I told you, the French President will draw France into the war. Putin will continue his conquest of lands unabated. (In effect he will liberate nations from the satanic DS Kazarian leadership.) This is why all of Europe will be drawn into the war. Then other nations on other continents will come into the war, sending troops etc. By the end of this year, the world will be a very different place. Much will happen in this second half of 2025. (And even more in 2026.) I want you to understand one thing clearly. When war breaks out later this year, this is not the beginning of the great tribulation. I have told you what kicks off the tribulation. I Am not pleased with what some are saying, leading My flock astray on this matter. Especially those saying the tribulation is behind us. The foolishness I Am seeing in My people is to be stopped. It will be stopped when they are dropped right into the middle of tribulation events. Monday 9th June 2025 Remember what I told you those things you have been awaiting to come to pass, time is speeding up. You will not be waiting long, as you waited 10 years ago. I will speak to you now and say it is time. And it will come to pass. Perhaps in the very day I tell you that it is time. Or it will be weeks, of 7 days rather than months and years. There is no time for months and years now , I will no longer allow matters to resolve over lengthy time spans. I Am bringing all things quickly to pass, quickly to a head. My judgments are in the earth now. This is the time of the end. All things come to pass. In a short span of time, they come to pass. This is why I say to you, do not be afraid. Because you are going to see some things come to pass very shortly. We are there. It is time. Tuesday 10th June 2025 Today is the day. I have spoken and it shall come to pass. This is how it shall be in these days at the end of all things. I will speak to My prophets, My true obedient prophets and say today is the day, and when they speak My words out, they shall come to pass instantly, on that very day when I say today is the day. I have told My prophets that everything is about to change. I have been telling them this, I have been telling you this, dear one, for many months, even many years. We are now in that season, at the end of all time, when everything will change. The landscape, the people, everything. We go from peace to war, from quiet streets to riots in the streets. In America, this will not be in LA only, but riots will be started, they will be organized in many of the cities across America. (This is being fomented by the DS Kazarians.)  This is just the beginning of the riots. Remember, civil war will break out. This is just the beginning. All of the above is taken directly from my journal. These are Gods words, written down as He spoke them to me. They are not my thoughts. If anyone has difficulty digesting them, I recommend going to your prayer closet and waiting there for Him. Humble yourself. Leave your own desires and personal beliefs outside. They will block you from hearing His voice. Confess your sins. Repent. You will not hear from the Lord if you do not. There is a right way and a wrong way to approach the Throne of Grace. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.   War Has Begun Alison Pound - Australia -6/25/25 (Davids notes in red) While I was preparing to publish this, the Lord reminded me of that time when I began hearing military march tunes in my head. It went on for days until Anzac Day, 25th April 2019, when I finally asked the Lord about it: He said: Get ready, America, for war! Get ready to hear military marches, to see military parades, for shows of strength and power from your nation. Prepare to see posturing of such a magnitude you will almost laugh if it were not so very terrifying. For America goes to war. But I Am not with her. I am not with this nation. I have shut the book on this place. For Babylon is fallen. (She is both secular and religious and both are fallen.) She has become the place of crying wolves. Desolation, desolation is upon her. Weep and wail and mourn, you who know what is coming. Anzac Day specifically commemorates the anniversary of the landing of Australian and New Zealand forces at Gallipoli in 1915 during World War I.    WAR HAS BEGUN Monday 23rd June 2025 I woke to news headlines this morning: Donald Trump says Israel and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire. (It happened) Apparently, the bombing Mr. Trump ordered his air force to carry out has brought about peace! He promotes himself as a peacemaker. He says!, God bless Iran, Israel, America, and the whole world. Which is NOT AT ALL WHAT THE LORD SAID to me when He woke me in the night! While you have slept, in that short time, much has happened. The Straight of Hormuz has been closed. More bombs have been dropped. War has begun. The war that will take the whole earth to war has begun. These are the final days before I return. Nothing will ever be the same again. But do not think that this is The Tribulation! We are not quite there yet. First, this war between Israel and Iran. (It happened) And now America. Then more nations will come in. Egypt will come out in support of Iran. Britain will come out in support of Israel. And so it will grow. The nations will pick sides. Things will heat up in the Ukraine also. Remember I told you that France will be pulled into the war by their President. And then there is America. America, the brave. With their oh so brave and bold leader. He has put his nation to war and painted a target on himself and the nation. You will not have long to wait, to see My Words fulfilled. Because time is so very short now. Much, much will happen this second half of the year. And there will be cities that are not recognizable, bombed into oblivion. Yes, I speak of Tel Aviv and Tehran. (This happened) And then will come the shot to the head. (This happened) Keep watching dear one. Australia will send troops to war at the end of this year. Britain, the US and France also. There will be patrolling of your coastlines and you will hear more from your air base here. Not test flights anymore but surveillance. Tuesday 24th June 2025 I Am the Lord your God. There is none beside Me. My Son shed His blood for all mankind. He paid the debt of sin. That heavy weight which was upon the whole earth. And still, mankind rejects My offer of Salvation. War! The drums of war are sounding. Mankind wants to wage war. There is hatred and distrust. There is pride and arrogance. There is fear. And all manner of wickedness at work. The hour is late. I Am coming to make recompense. Before I come, the world will go to war. The cup of iniquity must be filled before I can come and make recompense. Because it is written. And all of My Word shall/must be fulfilled. And so, the season you are entering is the season of war. The red horse has ridden across the earth. Peace has been taken from the earth. Whatever nations that have been at peace will no longer feel at peace. All nations will be on alert. People who never had to watch their back before will be watching their back. The news reports and all media will be full of war talk, speculations, fear mongering, false reports. War will dominate the headlines. And very shortly, all eyes will be on America. The eyes of the Arab world, the muslim world, the eyes of Russia, of China. Canada will be watching. Germany will be watching. The Governments of the nations will be paying special attention to America, to their claims, and to their actions. In the end, no one will come to her aid. And she will desperately need aid. In the time to come, America will be under attack from within and from without. And none will come to her aid. Revelation 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. NOTE: When God speaks, He will say a thing is done. Whilst we may see nothing happening, when God speaks, it IS done, it has happened. Because God lives outside of time, He sees the end from the beginning. We must wait for His Words to manifest here on the earth. Some of you may say the Straight of Hormuz is not closed, that there is an agreement to a ceasefire. But wait, watch. If God says that War has begun, it surely has. Watch, wait and pray. Put all fear of man out! Pray for your families and loved ones that their eyes be opened to see Gods purposes and get in line with Him. His ways are higher than man's. Draw nearer to the Throne of Grace.   The Drums of War and the Decline of Nations  Alison Pound 12/14/25 (Davids notes in red) Babylon will fall. I Am the Lord. This is the time of the end. It is time for Babylon to fall. The earth will wage war. War will erupt, like a volcano erupting. What is happening now is nothing compared to what will shortly happen upon this earth. I have told you that Mr. Putin will not stop his incursion. He will advance. He will cross into other countries. And I will allow him. I Am giving him favour to conquer. For a short while. I understand that this is distressing. But these are My Ways. My purposes. The enemy is under My control. I can snuff him out in a moment, in a milli second. But My purposes, My ways are not your ways. Everything written in My Word shall come to pass. There is a time for everything, every season under heaven. And there is a reason for everything to exist, to be born, to die. All of this is not for nothing. Britain will decline. She will continue to decline until she is no more. Prince Charles, who became King Charles, he will be gone. His son William will not reign, but rather he will decline along with Britain. This is the nation that gave birth to America. Her wickedness is known. She will fizzle out. Like a candle, the wick has burned down and is ready to snuff out. Time is up for Britain. She who birthed America will watch her die and be snuffed out herself. The House of Windsor is finished. The Royal line is finished. I Am finishing it. (They were a root of the DS Kazarian empire.) The succession of wickedness , the flow of wealth, I Am finishing it all. I Am exposing all that they are. These people are the filthy scum of the earth. Andrew (former Prince) is only the beginning. Bosnia Herzegovina will not survive as a nation. War, war is coming. The earth will be overtaken by war. Christmas this year of 2025 will be a very uncertain time across the whole earth. Putin will cross into Poland. (It happened by air) I have told you. He will not stop. Poland is next. Peace will not reign in Israel. Gaza will not be at peace. Trump, the peacemaker, will be exposed. He is a liar. (Lies will be told concerning the true nature and allies of this war. His plan to make peace for Gaza will not come to pass.) He is like his father. (So, are we all until we are born of God? Cyrus, like Trump, wasnt a Jew or Christian. But God used both of these men to deliver the people from the Babylonian beast.) Before the year is out, the drums of war will be heard. They will be louder. And who will come to the aid of those countries being threatened by Putin and Russia, the mighty bear? Certainly not Britain. She is in decline. It will not be like WWII. The United Nations is not really united. The NWO is coming down. (through this war) The plan was laid out long ago. The system of the beast. (And believe it or not; each beast is succeeded by the next beast. Babylon was conquered by Cyrus of Medo-Persia.)   Unstoppable LaTonya Canada Christ- 12/24/25 (Davids notes in red) youtu.be/CAQAMoGGp8k I will begin todays prophetic message with Isaiah 26:20-21: Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, until the indignation is past. For behold, the Lord comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth will also disclose her blood and will no more cover her slain. (From the same text we see: Isa 26:10  Let favor be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of Jehovah.)  Over the past two months, the Lord has instructed our group to get tucked away and to brace ourselves in the Word and in the presence of the Holy Spirit, increasing our time praying in the Holy Ghost. As Jude 20 says: But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost. The Lord gave me a night vision that connected with a dream I had years earlier. I will first share the recent vision. I was in an earthquake that would not stop shaking. This was in Los Angeles, California. The people I saw anxiously waited with anticipation for the shaking to stop, but it did not. It continued for an extended period of time. The people were terrifiedshaken to their core. (I believe the plate/craton in the U.S. is sliding towards the west coast, and faster with the breaking of the New Madrid, which we were shown would be the time of the Man-child bodies anointing. A confirmation.) It was as though I could see different individuals in various parts of the city. Each person appeared to be wondering what was happening, what to do, and when it would stop. Their faces seemed to be silently asking, What is going on? After some time, everyone came to the same conclusion: evacuate as quickly as possible. At that point, the vision transitioned into a portion of an earlier dream, which I will now share. My family and I were having a reunion. We were sitting in lawn chairs on a golf course. It was lush, green, and beautifulvery vibranton a sunny day. We were talking, and the children were playing. Suddenly, we heard a loud noise. A vehicle crashed about 25 feet away from us. We all noticed it, then returned to our conversations and relaxed again. A short time later, it happened againthis time, a truck. It landed closer, about 15 feet away. We looked at it, wondering what was going on, but again we sat back down and continued talking. Then it happened a third time. This time it was a race car, red in color. It flew in the same way but came extremely closewithin a foot or two of where we were sitting. Everyone scrambled in alarm. The next scene I saw, which the Lord connected in this vision, was a U-Haul truck. All of us were throwing clothes, belongings, and whatever we could into it as fast as possible in order to move out. That was how the vision ended, and then I woke up. This prophetic dream is a follow-up to the Lords judgments against California for its continued, flagrant, and abominable sins that have reached to the heavens. Prophets around the world were given numerous messages concerning earthquakes in California. In recent weeks, even secular media have begun warning residents of the West Coastbut not with urgency or a call to evacuate. Rather, it has been presented in a casual, nonchalant, and inconsequential manner. I have personally experienced several earthquakes in my life, and this vision was especially heart-stopping because the shaking never stopped. Anyone who has been in an earthquake knows that it usually lasts seconds to a minute or so, and you wait for the ground to stop shaking so life can return to normal. During those moments, people often feel frozenlike a deer in headlightsmotionless and dumbfounded. That is exactly how the people appeared in this vision. At another time, the Lord gave me a message for a resident of California. I will read portions of what was given: Thus says the Lord: The hour is latevery late indeed. I want your yes without hesitation, regardless of who goes with you. I am judging the nation of California, a Sodom nation. There are no two ways about it. One cannot serve two masters. He will either love the one and hate the other, or love the other and hate the first. Time is very short. I have given this vessel a set period of time for her family to extract themselves from California. It is only a short distance away, but I know I am asking for everythingyour entire life. I mean what I say. Move away from California. She is doomed, and I want you to win. Hurry. It is God alone. As I was concluding this correspondence, the Lord instructed me further: there must be repentance. Those who wish to come must leave sinful lifestyles behind and depart from California. God is a good Father. Many earthly fathers have gone missing, but people often do not want God the way He truly isprotective, corrective, and authoritatively loving. God receives much criticism, yet many people desire Santa Claus rather than Jesus Christ as Savior. God will be vindicated in His judgments when all the books are opened. Psalm 19:9 says: The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. It is the Lords mercy to warn, to wait, and to hold back correction, giving opportunity to repent. Ezekiel 33:11 tells us that the Lord takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked. However, to everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven. This prophetic dream is titled Unstoppable. Once again: Come, my people, enter your chambers and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment until the indignation is passed. Get into the ark of safetyJesus Christand away from the West Coast. The Lord has a controversy with the nation of California. May the Lord bless you.   Great Quake & Tsunami Shirley Hinkle - 9/1/2006 (David's notes in red) Word given on 9/1/2006 - Do You Trust Me? It's with a heavy heart that I write this. God has spoken into my heart again that the day is coming very quickly of a massive earthquake that will cause a great, massive tsunami. There is going to be massive destruction; no place to bury the dead. He said to me again, It's Time! Out of death will come resurrection life! (Resurrection life as a revival comes, more or less, after every catastrophe like this.) We will be surrounded by death and destruction, but it will not come nigh unto us if we dwell in the secret place. Great fear will come, overwhelming even the strongest, but with this God will pour out His peace and His perfect love will come and cast out all fear. He has set us apart to be His voice in the last days. Those who have been obedient to come out from among them and be ye separate. When the flood of destruction comes, remember the words I have spoken in Isaiah 54. (This chapter emphasizes endurance in trial, protection and perfection.) A massive flood will sweep over the land and as in the natural so shall it be in the spiritual, I will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh! (This also came at the beginning and end of the Gospels. An outpouring of the Former Rain came to the Man-child, Jesus, at the beginning and to the saints at the end, symbolizing the Latter Rain coming before on the first-fruits and after the first 3 1/2 years of the tribulation.) The judgment on this state, this nation, is to redeem fallen man, the backslidden church. It is to awake, stir, shake, and change His people! It is the end of all things as you know it; all shall be new. Even though you are reading the last chapters and the end of the book, it is really just the beginning. For I am the Beginning and the End... (Notice once again the Beginning and End are emphasized. He will come as the Latter Rain in the beginning to anoint the man-child ministry and at the end of 3 1/2 years to anoint those raised up by them. He will come after two days or 2000 years, on the morning of the third day or third thousand years. Hos 6:2 After two days will he revive us: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him. 3 And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth. He will begin the last 3 1/2 years with the mark of the Beast to separate the righteous from the wicked, the Latter Rain outpouring and judgment.) There is no time to eternity... Wow, what a thought. His Name will be glorified again. His Word will become flesh again through His Repentant Church! God will be Glorified! He is a Father to the fatherless, so when you can't reach out to man in this time, remember to call upon your Heavenly Father, and He will be an ever-present help in the time of trouble. As with Jesus when he was raised from the dead, the angel rolled the stone away and there was a great earthquake... again God is going to roll away the stone of death in the church, with an earthquake and resurrection life will come forth. Mat 28:2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it. Jesus will reveal Himself again. Truth will be spoken from the pulpits and in the streets again. The church will repent and cry out for righteousness. She will hunger for His presence. He will be manna from heaven again to His people. Great darkness is here, but God in all of His Glory is going to shine upon His children. The Church, the True, Repentant, will Stand in these final days. We are to remain in the city... (of God) We are going to be endowed with power from on high. We are not going to run away in fear but STAND and be a witness to this final generation, in this final hour. It's Time, and the question He is asking all of us in this hour is... DO YOU TRUST ME?   Earthquakes and Gods Mercy David Eells We have shared warnings of Gods judgments we received from the Lord about earthquakes and other disasters. Because God is merciful and has heard the prayers and intercession for mankind, He is going to lessen the severity of the earthquakes and tsunamis that we know are still coming.   Huge Quakes Bring Man-child I believe there will begin a domino effect of earthquakes that travels across the U.S. and the world. Now we will look at the U.S. portion. I believe the DS has prepared the groundwork for this domino effect of quakes by fracking, tunneling and explosions, HARP, Military Tectonic Weapons, etc., under the U.S.. I believe we have learned that the Lord will use what they have done to make them guilty but He controls how and when and he will lessen the effects of the revelations given below. This threat is likely coming from the DS to cause the Alliance to back down but they are constantly arresting the DS, Kazazians and sooner or later they will take them all down. Either way the Lord said this judgment will happen for the sins of the people.   DS Scientists Conspire to Set Off Huge Earthquakes Sandy Shaw - 10/18/11 (Davids notes in red) I dreamed I was sitting and listening to a group of scientists argue, and they were talking over my head with their scientific words. Half of the scientists were arguing, We should not do that because we don't know what the ramifications of that are, nor do we know what chain reactions will take place. In the dream, I didn't know what that was referring to. The other half of the scientists begin arguing that they do know the outcome of that, as they have calculations and results from the previous times they have done it. One man from the group speaking against it interjected loudly with, Not of this magnitude. (Magnitude, of course, speaks of earthquakes. They set off a chain reaction of faults that all affect one another. Sandy Shaw and Rick Sergent had almost the same revelation that quakes would cross the US in a chain reaction. Eve Brast had a revelation that 7 big quakes would go around the world. I believe they would use a combination of HAARP, fracking, and their underground tunneling and explosions down those tunnels to connect faults, as they have already done. DS will use High Grade Military Tectonic Weapons; they would use their Tesla earthquake machines that we have heard they have underground.) Many scriptures, dreams, and visions speak of Jesus coming in the Man-child body of reformers at the time of large earthquakes crossing the US. From scripture, we see that history always repeats. Ecc 1:9 That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Jesus was the first New Testament Man-child Reformer, Who was a type for the coming Man-child body of reformers. Scripture shows that Jesus died with an earthquake and was risen to the throne with a great earthquake in three days. Jesus resurrection was also accompanied by the out resurrection of saints who appeared to the people. Php 3:11 if by any means I may attain unto the out-resurrection from the dead. (The Numeric pattern is in the original Greek words out-resurrection.) Isa 64:1-3 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might quake at thy presence,(Gods presence is coming with quakes. He is coming in His Man-child body by Word and Spirit, as it was with Jesus, as time will surely tell. This will be a great judgment on the wicked of the U.S. and the world.), 2 that the nations may tremble at thy presence! (A great revival will spring from this. Many lost or apostate will turn to the Lord of the Bible.) 3 When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains quaked at thy presence. Psa 97:5 The mountains melted like wax (Volcanic activity follows earthquakes.) at the presence of Jehovah, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. I received this text that points out that when the Lord comes in spiritual Judah as the Man-child, the waters recede. Psa 114:1-8 When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language; 2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion. 3 The sea saw it, and fled; The Jordan was driven back. 4 The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs. (The presence of the Lord will cause earthquakes and the sea to flee away.) 5 What aileth thee, O thou (Red) sea, that thou fleest? (Looks like an earthquake and tsunami at the beginning of the wilderness tribulation.) Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back? 6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills, like lambs? 7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob, 8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters. I received this about a witness with a video showing the Gulf waters receding as far out as you could see out of Tampa Bay and Coral Bay and other areas for over 12 hours. (This is proof that God can do this. This was seen in areas of the world where there wasnt a hurricane, too, like it was at the Red Sea.) - HURRICANE IAN UPDATE - NO WATER AT THE COAST IN THE GULF OF MEXICO We will notice that the great shaking is accompanied by the coming of Jesus in the Man-child and the change of fortunes from the Egyptians for God's people as they go into the wilderness tribulation. It is all coming soon and we need to be ready. Hag2:7 and I will shake all nations; and the precious things (or desired) of all nations shall come (This is Jesus in the Man-child who is typed by Zerubbabel in this chapter, and He comes with the shaking.); and I will fill this house with glory, saith Jehovah of hosts. 8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith Jehovah of hosts (As we have seen Cyrus conquered Babylon and freed Gods people giving a gift of Babylons gold and silver to rebuild the temple) 9 The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, saith Jehovah of hosts; and in this place (The true house of God) will I give peace, saith Jehovah of hosts. This shaking of all nations happens at the birth of the Man-child ministry. It is only to happen once more since the time Paul wrote of it in Heb 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not when they refused him that warned them on earth, much more shall not we escape who turn away from him that warneth from heaven: 26 whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven.) 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made (I.e., by man), that those things which are not shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken (The Kingdom of heaven is where God rules and we submit.), let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe: Back to Hag 2:3 Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes as nothing? (i.e. The Church, the house of God, is a fake mess because it has departed from His Word.) 4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel (meaning: born from Babylon which represents the first fruits Man-child leadership to come out of apostasy to rebuild the Kingdom), saith Jehovah; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith Jehovah, and work: for I am with you, saith Jehovah of hosts, 5 according to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt (through the Red Sea where the wicked were judged), and my Spirit abode among you: fear ye not. 6 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations (As we saw this was also spoken of by Paul in Heb 12:25-29 as the great shaking that separated those manmade kingdoms who could be shaken from those who could not for they are in the Kingdom of God.); and the precious [things] (desired) of all nations shall come; and I will fill this house with glory, saith Jehovah of hosts. (This is the glory of the Lord's presence in the rebuilt temple of Gods people) 8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith Jehovah of hosts. (Cyrus/ Trumps gift, which is happening now.) 9 The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, (Because the Latter Rain is greater than the Former Rain) saith Jehovah of hosts; and in this place will I give peace, saith Jehovah of hosts... 21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth; 22 and I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms (The Deep State Kazarian throne in all the nations is falling now); and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; (The beast army is destroyed as at the Red Sea), every one by the sword of his brother (As when the nations came against Jerusalem, the Bride, and were divided against each other.). 23 In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith Jehovah, and will make thee as a signet; for I have chosen thee, saith Jehovah of hosts. (A signet is a sign of Authority such as Mordecai and Joseph received as types of the Man-child body.) (I am convinced that we must be entitled to the Passover of this judgment, which was paid for by Jesus, when it does come. Make sure your heart is right with God and your brethren by abiding in Jesus Christ. But as we have heard, God is going to have mercy because it was asked of Him.)

Wie unterwandert Kunst die Diktatur in Belarus? Dazu forscht Iryna Herasimovich am Slavischen Seminar in Zürich. Als sie in die Schweiz kam, wollte sie nur einige Monate bleiben, um Literatur zu übersetzen. Doch die gewaltsame Niederschlagung der Protestbewegung verunmöglichte eine Rückkehr. «Hier habe ich das Gefühl, endlich angekommen zu sein», sagt Iryna Herasimovich, wenn sie von ihrer Arbeit am Slavischen Seminar in Zürich erzählt. Sie habe das Glück, dass ihr Umfeld sensibel auf ihre Situation reagiere. Hinter ihr liegen Jahre voller Entscheidungen, die sie nie treffen wollte: Sie musste ihre Wohnung in Minsk per Video auflösen, ihr altes Leben und vor allem geliebte Menschen für unbestimmte Zeit zurücklassen. Heute kann sie sagen: «Exil ist nicht nur Verlust, sondern auch eine Bereicherung.» In «Musik für einen Gast» erzählt Iryna Herasimovich davon, weshalb ihr ein Lied von Mani Matter während der Revolutionswirren geholfen hat. Und sie erklärt, weshalb übersetzen für sie auch eine politische Bedeutung hat: «Es geht um die Haltung, sich auf andere einzulassen und sich zu bemühen, sie zu verstehen.» Die Musiktitel: 1. Belarussisches Volkslied: «Lito» (Ivan Kirchuk / Siarhei Douhushau / Margarita Levchuk) 2. Uladzimier Teraŭski - «Kupalinka» (Singfrauen Winterthur / Albin Brun Quartett) 3.

In deze donkere dagen voelt het wereldnieuws als een hardnekkige winterverkoudheid. Daarom spreekt Bureau Buitenland met onze correspondenten in geopolitieke brandhaarden over verhalen die verwarmen. We brengen de broodnodige vitaminen om zo de koortsachtige situatie in de wereld even te verlichten. (00:52) Wintervitaminen: Verzet in Belarus en Rusland De prijs voor verzet tegen het regime in Belarus en Rusland is in veel gevallen duisternis, isolatie en opsluiting. Recent kwam daar voor een groep gevangenen in beide landen verandering in: na jarenlange gevangenschap zien ze eindelijk weer daglicht. Maar hoe vrij ben je daadwerkelijk in deze regimes en hoe is het gesteld met het verzet? En hoe komen dissidenten eigenlijk aan hun winter vitaminen? We vragen het aan Ruslandkenner Helga Salemon. Presentatie: Laila Frank.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Moscow deploys its newest nuclear-capable missile system to Belarus, placing a powerful new class of weapons on NATO's doorstep and forcing the alliance to reassess its defensive posture. Beijing lashes out after Washington approves a massive arms package for Taiwan worth more than ten billion dollars, including missiles, drones, and heavy artillery. New reporting claims President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quietly planned a potential strike on Iran's nuclear program far earlier than publicly known, using a coordinated deception campaign. And in Today's Back of the Brief: Just days after the deadly attack on Bondi Beach, Australian police launch a dramatic operation in Sydney amid intelligence warnings of a possible follow-on plot.

Max and Maria spoke with Sergey Radchenko about the state of affairs in peace negotiations over Ukraine as we come to the close of 2025. They discuss the different parties' goals and positions, and how this current round of negotiations compares to the talks in Istanbul at the start of the full-scale invasion back in 2022.

Lower deficits and trade imbalances reduce economic pressures that drive up prices, potentially stabilizing costs for consumers and businesses.  these figures signal improving fiscal health. For context, the U.S. deficit was around $1.7 trillion in 2024; dropping it by $600 billion would bring it closer to $1.1 trillion—a substantial cut that could ease long-term debt concerns and support lower interest rates.  Lower inflation to 2% would mean steadier prices, boosting real wages and consumer confidence.   The U.S. budget deficit is the annual shortfall when government spending exceeds revenue in a given fiscal year. The national debt is the total accumulated amount owed from all past deficits (plus interest), essentially the running total of borrowed money. https://twitter.com/GuntherEagleman/status/2000268781084348516?s=20 Political/Rights https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1999945168120848428?s=20 https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/2000177646072631506?s=20 https://twitter.com/sentdefender/status/2000142553815847148?s=20 https://twitter.com/HamasAtrocities/status/2000263382197481781?s=20 https://twitter.com/BNODesk/status/2000304813591118154?s=20 from pakistan https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/2000160163282727197?s=20 https://twitter.com/TheBritLad/status/2000308891104797052?s=20 https://twitter.com/Currentreport1/status/2000199214870180153?s=20 https://twitter.com/C_3C_3/status/2000055847309791603?s=20 Brown University Shooting Suspect In Custody; Gunman “Yelled Something” Before Attack On Econ Classroom  The shooter “yelled something” before the attack … Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/2000264684180746600?s=20   authorities have detained the suspect in the Brown University shooting that occurred on December 13, 2025, which left two students dead and nine others injured.  The person of interest, identified as 24-year-old Benjamin Erickson from Wisconsin (who is not a Brown student), was taken into custody early on December 14 at a hotel in Coventry, Rhode Island, about 15 miles from the campus.  Officials have confirmed no other suspects are being sought, and the investigation is ongoing.

Guns aren't making us less safe and gun laws won't solve the problem. Most of our recent mass shootings had shooters who already violated gun laws to commit their crimes. The left wing culture in America, including mass migration is making us less safe. It's the root of our problem. Fix our regressive, hedonistic, violence and evil loving culture. That will fix America. We need our country to value strength, life, love, liberty, faith and family again.

TRULY WICKED: Obama Judge Lavishly PRAISES Illegal Alien Who R*ped and Sodomized Helpless Woman with Cerebral Palsy – Refuses to Add More Years to His Sentence The Detroit News reported on Friday that a violent illegal alien from Honduras who sexually assaulted a woman with cerebral palsy in a Michigan laundry room will be released from prison as early as July 2028, less than three tears from now thanks to a federal judge appointed by Barack Obama. The illegal, 30-year-old handyman Edys Renan Membreño Díaz was previously caught sneaking into the U.S. at least seven times since 2019. He pleaded guilty in 2022 to sexually assaulting the woman and was sentenced by Judge Judith Levy in August 2024 to time served.

Calm down – it's not 1939. But it could end up just as bad. Today (13), it has been reported that Germany is sending soldiers to Poland, in a bid to ‘strengthen' NATO's eastern border with Belarus and Russia. Politico reported: “Several dozen German soldiers will join Poland's East Shield from April 2026, with the mission initially running until the end of 2027, Deutsche Welle reported, citing Berlin's defense ministry. German troops will focus on engineering work, according to a ministry spokesperson quoted in the report. The spokesperson described this as building positions, digging trenches, laying barbed wire and constructing anti-tank obstacles.  .” Source: thegatewaypundit.com Zelenskyy offers to drop NATO bid for security guarantees but rejects US push to cede territory   Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Zelenskyy on Sunday (December 14, 2025) voiced readiness to drop his country’s bid to join NATO in exchange for Western security guarantees, but rejected the U.S. push for ceding territory to Russia as he arrived in Berlin for talks with U.S. envoys on ending the war. Source: thehindu.com CIA Outlet Concerned About Kash Patel and Dan Bongino Meeting with Top Zelenskyy Officials It  been  reported that the FBI has been working closely with the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) in detecting and discovering corruption amid Ukraine officials who have skimmed money from various international aid programs.  However, the Washington Post is suddenly concerned that FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino have held “secret meetings” with lead Ukraine peace negotiator Rustem Umerov.   it is easy to get the sense that Rustem Umerov is in alignment with the U.S. proposals, but Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not.  Hence, Zelenskyy keeps returning to his U.K, France, Germany and EU support network for counterproposals despite his officials like Umerov working with the U.S. team directly. This paragraph from within the WaPo (CIA) framework seems to tell a background story: […] “The meetings have caused alarm among Western officials who remain in the dark about their intent and purpose. Some said they believe Umerov and other Ukrainian officials sought out Patel and Bongino in the hopes of obtaining amnesty from any corruption allegations the Ukrainians could face. Others worry the newly established channel could be used to exert pressure on Zelensky's government to accept a peace deal, proposed by the Trump administration, containing steep concessions for Kyiv.” (more) Perhaps Zelenskyy's primary negotiator for the USA team, Rustem Umerov, has specific knowledge of corruption connected to the generous financial support the USA has provided Ukraine.  Watching Yermak get taken down within the FBI/NABU investigation, might have triggered Umerov to cooperate on several levels. Umerov reported as happy with the negotiated U.S. terms. Volodymyr Zelenskyy openly not happy with the negotiated terms. This is worth watching.

Filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, the complaint challenges contract provisions that prioritize teachers from “underrepresented populations” during layoffs, reassignments, and recalls, and that grant exclusive employment benefits to members of a third-party program known as “Black Men Teach Fellows.” Federal officials argue the policies violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race or sex in employment.
