Stríð og ófriður

Það er deginum ljósara hverjir eru í raun að eigast við þarna

"A total of 17 EU member states plus Norway have signed a joint agreement on the procurement of ammunition to strengthen Ukraine’s defense capabilities, the Brussels-based European Defense Agency (EDA) announced on Monday."

Allt til að halda svikamillunni gangandi eins lengi og hægt er.

Uhm... jæja.

"The exact quote: “either Ukraine will defend its independence today, or we will have to enter this conflict. Because our main values, which were the basis of our civilization, and our culture will be threatened. Therefore, we will have no choice but to enter the conflict.”

The immediately triggered retreat by the EU IS HERE.  However, this statement happened on the same day Politico reported: NATO is racing to arm its Russian borders. Can it find the weapons?"

Allt mjög ágætt, auðvitað.

Það verður ekkert úr þessu, held ég.

Her Norður Kóreu berst við annað vandamál

"Hundreds of thousands of North Korean troops are mobilizing to help plant and harvest crops. The country’s military is ​rejiggering some of its munitions factories to produce tractors and threshing machines, while also ​converting some airfields ​into greenhouses. Soldiers are reportedly being asked to extend their service by three years and spend them on farms."

Norður Kórea er mikið öðruvísi.

Rússar selja Kínverjum græjur

"On Tuesday Russia’s TASS News announced that Russia has developed a long-range thermal imaging reconnaissance system based on artificial intelligence.

In July 2021, Russia test-fired its new 6,100 mph hypersonic Zircon missile. The weapon is capable of evading all Western defenses."

Æðislegt.

Indónesía nennir engu veseni

"Last week, Indonesian President Joko Widodo urged regional authorities to wean themselves away from foreign payment systems and start using cards issued by local banks. He argued that Indonesia needed to shield itself from geopolitical disruptions, citing the sanctions targeting Russia’s financial sector from the US, EU, and their allies over the conflict in Ukraine."

Hann hefur ekki rangt fyrir sér.

Putin spjallar við Xi

" While the expected cordialities and expressions of closer relations were exchange, among the most notable early statements came from Putin, who said he's open to peace talks with Ukraine and China's mediation efforts.

The day prior in media interviews, White House NSC spokesperson John Kirby declared that any call for a ceasefire in Ukraine is unacceptable."

... ugh.

Það er í tízku núna að klæmast með börnin

"A mother from Texas who describes herself as a former 'woke' liberal pulled her 13-year-old daughter out of school after she found out she had been asked to play the role of a 'seducing hooker' in a game in her seventh-grade classroom."

Mér er sagt að það sé mjög pervertískt núna að vera ekki barnanauðgari.

Enda eru kommúnistar up til hópa geðveikir.

"More than HALF (56.3%) of liberal white women age 18-29 have been diagnosed with a mental health condition. That's more than DOUBLE the percentage (27.3%) of conservative white women in the same age bracket.

Not self-diagnosed, like people do on Instagram, but actually diagnosed by a medical professional as having a mental health disorder."

Meðferð peninga er ekki svona flókin

Eftirlaunasjóður Svía fer brátt á hausinn

"As Sweden looks to reorganize its embattled 1 trillion kronor ($90 billion) pension system following an embezzlement scandal, the office overseeing the process says it won't accept applications from asset managers that don't incorporate ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) into their strategies."

Ekki gæfulegt.

Bankman-Fried stal 2 milljörðum dollara

"Intelligencer reports that Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX, received a staggering $2.2 billion in loans and payments while allegedly committing a massive fraud within the business, according to a late-night announcement made by liquidators on Wednesday. As federal investigators construct their case against Bankman-Fried, who is currently facing 12 charges, including money laundering and bank fraud, the revelation may have a significant impact on his case."

Hvað gerði hann við allan þann pening?

The Cure eru á móti okri

"Outraged fans started sharing the evidence on social media. For instance, one screenshot showed a $11.65 service fee and $10 facility charge per ticket, plus an overall order processing fee of $5.50, being levied for those using Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan program. The total cost for four $20 tickets amounted to more than $172.

The good news is that—unlike greed kingpin Bruce Springsteen—The Cure stepped in on behalf of their fans and shamed Ticketmaster into granting some partial refunds."

Etthvað fyrirtæki er að einoka markaðinn.

"The success of the Farmer-Citizen Movement (BBB) in Wednesday's vote, which will determine the makeup of the senate, casts doubt over the government's ability to pass key legislation, including its plans to slash nitrogen emissions.

 The Netherlands has clearly shown we’re fed up with these policies, BBB's founder, Caroline van der Plas, told the public broadcaster NOS. It's not just about nitrogen, it's about citizens who are not seen, not heard, not taken seriously."

 

Íslendinga vantar þetta líka.

 

 

Byrði hvíta mannsins

Menn taka byrði hvíta mannsins mjög alvarlega

"Daníel E. Arnarsson, varaþingmaður og framkvæmdastjóri Samtakanna '78, hefur sagt sig úr Vinstri grænum. Hann greinir frá þessu í færslu á Facebook síðu sinni og segir að ástæðuna vera þingmenn flokksins greiddu atkvæði með útlendingafrumvarpi Jóns Gunnarssonar dómsmálaráðherra."

Daníel finnst frumvarp Jóns ekki taka nógu vel upp byrði hvíta mannsins.

Ég vil ekkert taka upp byrði hvíta mannsins.  Vil helst ekki snerta hana.  Byrði hvíta mannsins getur átt sig, verið þar sem hún alltaf var, óhreyfð.

Byrði hvíta mannssins er ekkert hluti af samfélagi okkar, var það aldrei. Við berum ekki ábyrgð á henni. Eigum ekkert að gera það.

Veit ekki hvaða annarlegu kenndir búa að baki því að taka upp byrði hvíta mannsins.

Neibb. Vil ekki.

Á meðan, í Þýzkalandi

"The AfD party has called for an end to sanctions on Russia, arguing they are damaging Germany more than Russia. Germany has long relied on cheap Russian energy to fuel its manufacturing base. AfD has also benefitted from its calls to secure the German border, as the country saw nearly 1.4 million migrants arrive last year, causing a serious crisis for the country."

Sjón útskýrir ekki mál sitt

"„JK Rowling getur leyft sér þann munað að segja að „tíminn leiði í ljós hvort ég hafi á röngu að standa“ á meðan transfólk neyðist til þess að búa við aðsteðjandi hættu á að það missi ekki aðeins mannréttindi sín heldur líf sitt vegna þess að heimtufrekt (e. entitled) fólk eins og hún er kerfisbundið að afmennska það,“ tísti Sjón á ensku."

1: "Entitled" (bókstaflega: með titil) þýðir ekki "heimtufrekur," heldur "hefur rétt á."
2: hvernig vill Sjón meina að JK sé að afmennska kynskiftinga?
3: hvaða hættur stafa af kynskiftingum?

Nú eru kynskiftingar í þeirri forréttindastöðu að vera settir í allskyns forgang við ráðningar, hampað af ríkisstofnunum um allan hinn vestræna heim, og í sumum tilfellum er refsivert að svo mikið sem anda í áttina að þeim.

Svo hvaða mannréttindi vantar þá? Sé ekki betur en að þetta séu mestu forréttindapésar í heimi akkúrat núna.

Hvaða frekja er þetta í þeim og þeirra skósveinum? Yfirgangur kynskiftinga þarf að enda.

Japanir munu átta sig á hve stór mistök þeir voru að gera

"The number of deaths in Japan has been on the rise continuously.

As you can see from this panel, the dramatic increase in the number of deaths is quite obvious.

Last year, the number of deaths in 2022, exceeded 1.58 million, the highest number since World War II.

Compared to 2021, the number of deaths has increased by more than 140,000.

Compared to 2020, the number of deaths has increased by a staggering number of 210,000.

Covid didn’t cause so many more deaths. There must be factors (like vaccines). I wonder how the government is analyzing this problem?

Actually, Japan has been flooded with people, complaining of feeling ill after receiving the Covid vaccine. I’ve been carefully monitoring the system of reporting illnesses suspected to be caused by adverse reactions to the Covid vaccine."

... og svo framvegis.

Á meðan, í Hollandi

"According to initial results, the BBB, headed by sole MP Caroline van der Plas, will be the largest party in the Senate — polling at more than 30% in some regions. Meanwhile, support for the Government has been slashed. The result is a direct challenge to Dutch PM Mark Rutte, who has been embroiled in a number of scandals, such as gas mining in Groningen at the expense of citizen safety, punishing innocent (often dual-national) citizens for childcare benefit fraud and ongoing Dutch farmer protests about nitrogen emissions. Small wonder, then, that 46% of voters said they were specifically voting against the current national administration."

"

OK, well, then where’s the money going to come from? The man in the moon? Of course, the taxpayers are going to pay. But they may not pay in the form of taxes because nobody has the integrity to actually raise middle-class taxes. But that doesn’t mean the taxpayers are going to get away with this. They’re going to pay for it. It’s just that they’re not going to pay for it with higher taxes. They’re going to pay for it with higher prices.”

"A pre-print study published in February 2023 by Dr. Wilson Sy shows an incredible analysis of excess mortality data in Australia.  Based on his research and analysis of the data, Dr. Sy concluded that there is an excess death rate in 2021 that is 7-fold higher than than 2020 and 14-fold in 2022.  The 2022 data was only available up to September 2022.  Dr. Sy predicts the final months of 2022 could amount to a 19-fold increase overall for that year.

Davison joined an Indiana Chamber of Commerce roundtable discussion on the impacts of COVID-19.  In this discussion, he revealed their group life insurance was seeing “the highest death rates they’ve ever seen in the history of this business”.  He says this increase of 40% excess mortality over pre pandemic levels is consistent throughout the industry and that it is primarily working aged people that are 18-64 that are dying.  Davison emphasizes that a “3-sigma or 1 in 200 year catastrophe would be a 10% increase over pre-pandemic, so a 40% [increase] is just unheard of."

The statement was in response to Habeck’s latest great reset plan which will see oil and gas heating completely banned in the country from 2045, with the minister also planning to implement restrictions on heating systems allowed in the German market much earlier."

"Over the weekend, when parsing through the carnage sweeping the US banking sector, we analyzed which banks are facing the highest deposit-run risk in the aftermath of the SIVB - and now SBNY - failures, and focused on a handful of names who have the bulk of their funding in the form of deposits - deposits which are now suddenly at risk amid what seems to be a major bank run."
