WW3 Sputtering Along, Helped By Putin’s Fifth Column

Those who are on Putin’s payroll, or hope to get there, or hate democracy, say that war can be avoided. “Only a special operation”. In truth, war, world war, has already arrived. Those who know better will orient the conversation toward the fact that the greatest horrors of WW2 would not have happened, had the war been launched earlier.  Auschwitz would not have happened, had the US helped France militarily in 1939 and declared, with France, war on Hitler. Instead the USAS wited, hoping, like Switzerland or Sweden… to make a buck.

WW2 happened because of the Nazis, of course. But why couldn’t the good guys stop the Nazis earlier?

1) enough mighty US plutocrats sided with Hitler and the Axis. Let’s not the plutos repeat the performance with WW3… 

2) there were not enough democracies and too many decided to exploit WW2 for their own profits.  This time, 2024, even Switzerland realizes that selfishness is not an option. And 54 “democracies” sided with Ukraine against the tyrant (whereas on September 3, 1939, only two democracies declared war on Hitler!)

In the 1990s, Ukraine’s population was 50 million. Now it’s only twenty million. A slow motion genocide. This is what those who hate Ukraine wanted. And why do they hate Ukraine?

One thing led to another. Eight centuries of Kremlin invasive ideology… While Kyiv incarnated and led, cultured, diversified and democratic ideology. Exactly what the Kremlin cannot have if it wants to stay by far the largest land empire, much of it on stolen land.

Another factor is deep in human psychology of hate. Killing others makes one accept one’s own death more readily. Putin does not have to worry about old age anymore. He and his accomplices have to worry about killing a maximum of enemies. That’s not easy, it’s emotionally overwhelming, and then they have to attend to their bodily functions, sleep, repeat.

Any existentialist question is swept under the carpet bombing of devastation during total war. And of course, to be potentates for whom the lives of others is just like cash one can spend, is most thrilling…

A crucial factor in the French loss of May-June 1940 was lack of morale and fear of sabotage. The French communists were under order to sabotage the French war effort, because their master, Stalin, was allied to Hitler. A very practical consequences is that the hundreds of state of the art French fighter planes were not armed: authorities were worried that Communists would grab the guns. One thing led to another, and by May 1940, less than half the French Air Force opposed the Nazis. This prevented the French to establish air superiority. My dad in Algeria was stunned to see, shortly after France agreed to a ceasefire with the Nazis at the end of June 1940, appear hundreds of brand new, state of the art fighter planes in African skies. Those superiority fighter planes had never seen combat, because the French government was afraid of Stalin’s moles inside French weapon manufacturing.

Just like Putin’s apologists can’t see what Putin has been doing since 1999, the partisans of Hitler and Stalin could not see in the 1930s and much of the 1940s what Stalin was doing. Stalin had attacked Finland, invaded the Baltic republics and Poland: that did not register as negatives. Nor the fact that Stalin was de facto an enemy of France (Stalin also fueled, brought the fuel for, the invasion of France…)

We have a somewhat similar situation nowadays, with millions of educated individuals in the West who let themselves be manipulated by the Kremlin into worshiping infamy and spurning reason. .

Aristotle’s Evil “Goodness”

ARISTOTLE’S PROMOTION OF ELITE GOODNESS AND GREATNESS WERE FOUNDATIONS FOR MILLENNIA OF PLUTOCRATIC RULE. 

Aristotle demolished democracy for the next two millennia. And probably did much more than that, demolishing democracy in the minds of the Macedonian elite which took over Greece… and much of the world, in Aristotle’s lifetime. We are taught badness through bad men, when they are presented as greatness, and, or, goodness incarnated. Aristotle was a towering thinker. He instituted biology as an observational science (fossils had confused observers). He also contributed to logic. 

So greatly was Aristotle respected as a thinker in general that his blatantly idiotic physics was viewed as truth. Aristotle had pontificated about motion: Aristotle thought that a force had to be applied continuously for an object to keep on moving. Aristotle had neglected friction. That was denounced by Buridan in Paris in the mid fourteenth century. Buridan introduced momentum and the law of inertia, according to which only a force can modify motion… The fact that the tyrant Antipater was Aristotle’s best friend, was overlooked. Antipater may have assassinated Alexander, and certainly assassinated Demosthenes, while torturing to death many others and imposing war and then plutocracy on Greece and Athens in particular… All this was carefully overlooked by two millennia of corrupt thinking.  

Indeed, much of these other towers of thoughts Aristotle erected, remarkable and highly remarked, served as the foundations of more than two millennia of plutocratic rule. Evil power rule. 

Aristotle’s Politics I 2-5: “For that some should rule and others be ruled is a thing not only necessary, but expedient; from the hour of their birth,some are marked out for subjection, others for rule. […] the lower sort are by nature slaves, and it is better for them as for all inferiors that they should be under the rule of a master. “

Need I say more?

Aristotle’s sense of greatness, justice and goodness ruled for millennia. Even Nietzsche would repeat them faithfully, 23 centuries later… while presenting them as… new.

Aristotle taught to more than Alexander the Great and his “companions“. Aristotle encouraged tyrants for millennia to come. The symbol I added on Aristote’s chest is a personal imitation of what was found in Philippe II of Macedonia’s tomb. The original was much prettier and in gold. It’s the sunburst symbol of the Macedonian regime. The Macedonian Svastika. It’s also called the Vergina Sun. It has 16 rays. Philippe was Aristotle’s friend, employing him as private teacher and mentor of his son.

Aristotle was long the incarnation of rectitude and even logic. Aristotle was the right zero for a wrong world. Aristotle’s world vision about greatness is all about “He”. Aristotle is a sexist fundamentalist. Sexism was characteristic of Athens… in contrast to Sparta, which was in many ways radically the opposite. The victory of Sparta over Athens was greatly caused by Spartan women doing all what was necessary, including keeping Helots in line, while the relatively few Spartan warriors went to war…

Socrates, a bit earlier, had made a point that he learned rhetoric, among other things, from Aspasia and probably the theory of the Open Society, which she authored and is Socrates’ underlying moral system. Socrates also says he learned the theory of love from another woman, Diotima who “convinced him he was mistaken” (it is possible that Diotima was an avatar for Aspasia) Two women taught Socrates… Plato informs us. And in any case, Aspasia was a towering figure, as she was the brains behind Pericles. So Aristotle’s insistence that greatness implicitly means “He” is a direct attack against what made ancient Greece great. 

“Good” is not defined. What about the Theory Of Knowledge, mother of virtue according to Socrates? Aristotle’s society as superiors and inferiors, and, worse of all, slaves. Superior in mysterious, undefined “goodness”. The “lower classes” are outright not worth asserting oneself against. In other words, the high-minded man, if he wants to avoid being crude, will be careful to alienate himself from the “lower classes”.

Although Aristotle was against jogging, he promoted thinking and debating while walking, another excellent idea. But he is a peripatetic philosopher with a low speed limit… (Being on a horse at full galop would have revealed to him the existence of air friction…)

The historical context is that Aristotle hanged around the worst of the worse: the Macedonian plutocratic terror fascists. With them fascists, no adjustment needed. This is why “he looks down on others”. With his dear friends, from whom he hides neither hate nor love, and can be himself entirely, and truthful.  

Does everything Aristotle define goodness with wrong? No. Is contempt for the lower intellectual classes justified? Yes. Should they be interacted with, those armies of trolls? No. Should alienation from intellectual slaves be a way of life? Yes. And to have a long memory for wrongs is a trap because it leads to revisiting the past obsessively… instead of building a better future…

The fundamental problem with Aristotle is that classes in society are (implicitly) identified with intellectual classes… And greatness with plutocracy… In the sense of the evil-power (Pluto-Kratia).  

After the picture of the perpetrator, a relevant passage from his Ethics…

“The high-minded man will do good, but he is ashamed to accept a good turn, because the former marks a man as superior, the latter as inferior. Moreover, he will requite good with a greater good, for in this way he will not only repay the original benefactor but put him in his debt at the same time by making him the recipient of an added benefit…

It is, further, typical of a high-minded man not to ask for any favors, or only reluctantly, but to offer aid readily. He will show his stature in relations with men of eminence and fortune, but will be unassuming toward those of moderate means. For to be superior to the former is difficult and dignified, but superiority over the latter is easy. 

Furthermore, there is nothing ignoble in asserting one’s dignity among the great, but to do so among the lower classes is just as crude as to assert one’s strength against an invalid. His actions are few, but they are great and distinguished. 

He must be open in hate and in love, for to hide one’s feelings and to care more for the opinions of others than for truth is a sign of timidity. He speaks and acts openly: since he looks down upon others his speech is free and truthful, except when he deliberately depreciates himself in addressing the common run of people. 

He cannot adjust his life to another, except a friend, for to do so is slavish. That is (by the way) why all flatterers are servile and people from the lower classes are flatterers. He is not given to admiration, for nothing is great to him. He bears no grudges, for it is not typical of a high-minded man to have a long memory, especially for wrongs, but rather to overlook them. 

He is not a gossip, for he will talk neither about himself nor about others, since he is not interested in hearing himself praised or others run down… He is a person who will rather possess beautiful and profitless objects than objects which are profitable and useful, for they mark him more as self-sufficient. 

Further, we think of a slow gait as characteristic of a high-minded man, a deep voice, and a deliberate way of speaking. For a man who takes few things seriously is unlikely to be in a hurry, and a person who regards nothing as great is not one to be excitable. But a shrill voice and a swift gait are due to hurry and excitement.” (Nicomachean Ethics, 1122a34-1125a18)

Aristotle was long the incarnation of rectitude and even logic. Aristotle was the right zero for a wrong world. Aristotle’s world vision about greatness is all about “He”. Aristotle is a sexist fundamentalist. Sexism was characteristic of Athens… in contrast to Sparta, which was in many ways radically the opposite.

It’s high time for “Non Aristotelian” thinking…

Hurling Fascist And Judicial Charges At The Opposition Is Not Democratic

Europe is becoming a rudder without a ship. It’s useful to beat people to a pulp, but little else besides.

The so-called “right” is, at last, progressing everywhere. And it should: all the other parties are little else but plutocratic devices, designed by the same “elite” which brought Putin, inflation, deindustrialization impoverishment, and constant accusations that everybody else is a fascist. Europe is falling behind all its peers, including Australia, USA, Canada, Korea, China and India… Yes, I know, shocking… Even Putin’s tyranny is growing faster than decebrated Europe. Now to this Europe’s politicians have tended to reply: we prefer to degrow. Degrowing civilization are nothing new: Rome spent three century degrowing before military catastrophe. As Vladimir would say, this time it’s going to happen faster… Hey, Vlad wants to help: he has proposed to insure the defense of Europe, all of it… Already twenty years ago… European ingrates have spurned him…

In Italy blonde Georgia Meloni is governing very well. She used to be mocked because she barely finished high school. But she is obviously smart in a creative way instead of just being a knowledgeable parrot. Various insults were hurled at her: she was a fascist aspiring to Vladimir’s bed, she hated homosexuals, etc. The homosexual thingie was a falsification: some mild measures were taken to reinforce a law against having a woman carry a baby for money… But the law was as old as 2004 and exists in most European countries, for example France.

Giorgia Meloni, above, has been successful, so far, in great part because she took the plutocratic establishment by surprise. Also she is focusing on projects the plutocratic establishment finds hard to attack, such as limiting torrid African illegal administration by empowering African governments to do so. The plutocratic establishment has been using the massive illegal African hamster like immigration wave as a way to divide the population, arguing that Africans have terrible African governments and countries because of the African slave trade three centuries ago, etc… As if slavery was a European invention when in truth African slaves getting to Europe were immediately freed, even in fascist Medieval Spain… Bathilde had made slavery unlawful in 657 CE.

The core of France’s Rassemblement National is made of workers and individuals who themselves and often by family tradition, voted on the left. Latest polls in France show that more than 45% of manual “workers” (“ouvriers”) intend to vote for Marine Le Pen’s party. For many decades, Marine’s party was represented as “fascist”. However her father had been the youngest member of Parliament. For decades, the establishment prosecuted father and daughter, who were both members of the European Parliament, not just the French Assembly, under the charge of employing employees to do something else than what they were paid to do. 

For years, the loud left wing accused them of criminality because of these far-fetched charges. However now the same charge is used against opposition newspapers owners and editorialists. 

The point? Accusing the opposition to be fascist and using the “justice” system against it is actually anti-democratic. 

All over Europe, authoritarian methods are now used, especially in matters relative to transportations and inhabitation. “Socialist” France is making it very difficult to inhabit a home and drive a car. One can’t even pay for rent in advance. Illegal too renting a non super ecological place. A small double panned apartment may cost thousands of dollars in electricity. Healthcare? Forget it. All the doctors have fled to expensive enclaves, like Switzerland. Somehow, doctors feel entitled to have a home and drive a car (the car better have self-driving features to avoid the automatic radars keen to catch speedsters, when speed varies from block to block… Without that fancy AI tech, fines will pile up and they depend exponentially upon time… and points will be withdrawn…)  

Europe is in a terrible crisis, and increasingly voters feel that any change will be better than this enfolding disaster. This time the plutocratic establishment is finding it hard to explain why the “right”, those who like to have a car, a house, reasonable heating and food bills, and not being harassed by laws, decrees, regulations and administrations, should not have the right to vote for people the plutocratic establishment profess to hate…. for “racist” reasons… the establishment howls… while not daring to try to explain why this obsession with racism is not itself racist…

In July, horror of horrors, Victor Orban and Hungary will assume the presidency of Europe… Hungary has been much hated because it pushed the winning theme, through the last three elections, that Hungary should make Hungarians happy…

The present state of Europe is best depicted by the following tragedy. An Afghan refugee in France. He had the political refugee status… Although he was an Islamist fanatic. During Ramadan, he sees two Algerian tourists. Algerians from Algeria are drinking alcohol in Bordeaux. So the Afghan goes to the presumably Muslim Algerians and order them to stop drinking. The Algerians tell him to mind his own business. The Afghan stabs both Algerians grieviously, killing one of the two.

Now things are changing slowly: France just expelled her second Islamist violence and mayhem preacher… in five months, thanks to a new law. The fact is, many and presumably most, flee from Muslim countries because they flee Islamist terror. Europe should make sure it can’t implant itself… As in Gaza! This, and finding money to build an instant Defense Industrial Basis, DIB, for Ukraine… After all, even Vladimir could build himself a DIB in two years… Ah, but Vladimir believes in growth, even malignant growth…

Self-Hypnotizing World Elite Conspiring In Plain Sight

We are in times when human power is exponentiating, that is growing at a rate proportional to itself… On top of that, elitism in civilization always had this exponential character … this is why civilizations always spawn elites. So we are in times where a few individuals have actually the power of extinguishing civilization and even the human race.Instead of mollifying the phenomenon, it’s getting worse. 

Ultra exclusive secretive meetings of the domineering and controlling elite around the world, in Tuscany, Sicily, Switzerland, Sweden, France, various US mountain states, are proliferating. The WSJ describes some of it in a long article:

The Secret Retreats That Have CEOs, VIPs and Billionaires Jockeying for Invites
Ultraexclusive conferences are booming. In Sicily, Aspen and Stockholm, Elon Musk and Margot Robbie mingle with bank leaders and media moguls. ‘There’s always another VIP level.’

“It has been 40-plus years since Allen & Co. put on its first so-called summer camp for the billionaire set in Sun Valley, Idaho, now an executive’s rite of passage, and more and smaller and intimate ultra-VIP conferences are exploding on the scene—from media mogul and venture investor Jeffrey Katzenberg’s in Montecito, Calif., to restaurateur Danny Meyer’s in Tuscany. There are new ones popping up nearly every month.

Helping fuel the desire for invitations is the lore of what Sun Valley has spawned: Sam Altman connected with his most important investor, Microsoft…  Jeff Bezos’ purchase of the Washington Post stems back to Sun Valley moments. 

The newer events make the World Economic Forum’s Davos—with its pop-up media spaces and Getty photographers scattered about—look like a Vegas trade expo. There is a summer excursion to Stockholm for the humbly named Brilliant Minds…” 

Obama and Musk, old accomplices, the former financing the latter big time, and probably reciprocally, are of course frequent attendees. Obama was a pillar of the fossil fuel revolution which made the US the world’s top fossil fuels producer. If the Davos cult needs a Golden Calf, it should be Obama.

They together-breathe: con-spirare. Conspiracy is what these gatherings are about. Bill Gates personally received Chinese president Xi… under Obama, before juicy security contracts in China. Some will scoff about conspiracy theories… but what about them working so well that they can be conducted in plain sight, and nobody sees them for what they are? If one looks a bit at Elon Musk’s career, one sees gigantic transfers of funds organized by the government: SpaceX was saved from bankruptcy by a NASA contract in 2009, Tesla made profits from mandated money from traditional car makers. Trump long asserted that the US Post Office made a sweet deal with Amazon. 

Publicly funded plutocracy thrives. Instead of going into the nitty gritty of US politics, it’s instructive to see how things work in overtaxed, overegulated and officially socialist France. There the conspiracies of the ultra wealthy have resulted in complete capture of public opinion.

In 2023 the officially wealthiest man in the world was French and so was the officially wealthiest woman. France’s tax system is set up in such a way that the wealthiest pay nearly no tax. In particular the hyper wealthy are spared the enormous inheritance taxes, and pay… nothing: “production” is spared tax, and all the hyper wealthy own firms. The rest of France is taxed to quasi economic ruin.

So how come the vociferous opposition in France never mention the present French tax structure reminiscent of the Middle Ages? How can such a gross mechanism for inequality persist in a country which made a huge revolution precisely against a similar system, 234 years ago? And which has “Equality” in its proud motto, just behind Liberty? 

Media control. All the French media is owned or controlled indirectly by the elite to the point of the average French citizen having no idea what is really going on in their own country…. And it is not just France. In many European countries some of the most watched channels in the USA are banned for “populist propaganda”… which is called “extremist”. Fox News, the most watched channel in the US, is banned from Great Britain, for extremism, and I couldn’t get it in other major European countries. .  

Crafty plutocrats doubled “social spending” (relative to GDP) since the 1980s, while striking deals with Russian and US plutocrats. The “social spending” was directed to sow division (by promoting wokism in the US and Islamism in Europe) and weakness (by promoting fake ecology and deindustrialization). 

This is why now a near majority of French workers (“working class”, ouvriers) intends to vote for the Rassemblement National (French equivalent to, and predecessor of, Trumpism)… and also why the EU is turning to the “right”.

 Elites have always rested on conspiracies and “networking”. A Roman emperor was obeyed and respected because thousands of professionally trained killers could immediately harm any opponent. It is nearly impossible to get rid of the elite principle… the leadership, FuhrerPrinzip, dear to the Nazis. 

The way civilizations collapse is because, most often, the elite got it wrong. To save civilization one must change the mind of the elite… But generally elites feed on themselves and end up with tunnel vision, also known as monothinking…

Truth is, we are living in what potentially, is the worst of all possible worlds. By interacting with each other within the best of all possible worlds, where the rest of the planet serves them, the ultra elite can only feel for the best… The exact opposite of reality. And that is as wrong as it gets. The elite should feel for the worst, because what we have is a global village headed by oblivious tyrants and influencers, and stuffed with nuclear weapons and shady characters.

Islam Is Islamism, And Oil Is Its Modern Prophet!

Judaism, Christianism, Islamism: Ordered By Increasing Enslavement And Violence

Abstract And Significance: Plutocrats, those who exert the power of wealth and evil, always rule sustainably through a cult. The basic methodology of crafty, sustainable class abuse is to deny not just human dignity, but respect for reason itself. So the oppressive cults tend to be violent and really stupid, by design (an example is Putinism).

Violent and really stupid, such as brandishing somebody crucified, one of the worst tortures ever devised… in the name of love and safety (this is what Christianism, does, to be clear). Christianism has been thoroughly dismissed in the advanced circles of thought… However, the plutocrats found a loophole. Christianism is now progressively replaced by a cult of mythical Islam, all good and glorious, or so the upper ones say (they use a so-called “Glorious Qur’an” which omits ALL the bad stuff from the REAL Qur’an). Although Islam adopted the symbol of the Moon from old Byzanthium, Islam is even more violent and discriminatory than Christianism and more of an insult to reason and dignity… And Christianism put the bar real high… The reason, as usual, is local plutocratic control, aggravated by the global need for oil.

Real intellectuals who want the Islamized areas to progress, be it only in the name of planetary security will point out that Islam needs to be restrained, just as Christianism was. The fanatics of the first Crusades are the brothers of Islamist Brotherhood, and for the same reason: violence in the name of a violent god (it’s the same god!) is no violence… in fanatical eyes.

So-called Islamists practicing Islamism are the true Muslims: they do according to the Qur’an, which informs us that Jews descend from apes and pigs [1]. Although Christianism, one could argue, was perverted by the Roman emperors which reconstructed it their brutal, self-serving way over three centuries, Islam was born that way, as an imperial ideology: Muhammad led an attack against the Roman empire. His friend and successor Abu Bakr ruled for only two years and two months, but thoroughly defeated both Romans and Persians…  

***  

Christianism, the religion of turning the other cheek, so one can get more of a concussion, is a slave religion imposed by latter day saints and emperors. It’s not obsolete in the sense that it gave birth to Islam, a superstition imposed by present day emperors. 

Christianism was a lie and a manipulation by the inherited plutocracy during the 16 centuries during which it dominated Europe. Something similar is affecting the area, with more than a billion people, where Islam dominates presently… And much of the exploitation actually comes from the same sort of plutocracy which terrorized and abused Europe during the Middle Ages. First let’s recapitulate the Christian situation, as Christianism was the forerunner and even promoter of early Islam.

Starting in December 380, Roman emperor Theodosius I invented the concept of heresy, a form of madness, he declares in his decrees, passible of any punishment. Theodosius said that the (Roman imperial) authorities could administer any punishment, including expropriation and death from horrendous tortures. 

When it surfaced that this so-called “Catholic Orthodoxy” was mostly an instrument of plutocrats to impose their rule of terror, revolutions and reforms were attempted, starting in the Tenth Century. The struggle against the terror church became more determined immediately after the crimes of the first crusade came to light… in the Twelfth Century.. However, thanks to Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, himself a plutocrat by inheritance and de facto leader of the Catholic church, and in spite of ferocious resistance by the philosopher Abelard and his powerful network of influencers, a second crusade was launched, and then many others… 

The struggle between reformers and the Catholic church turned into a succession of religious wars, crusades, genocides and massacres, all the way to the eighteenth century. Most notable was the annihilation of all the Cathars, five millions of them, and all their books and thoughts.

By the time of Henry VIII and even more so of the French revolution, it became clear to intellectuals that the progress of civilization demanded the extinction of the Christian church’s hold on the minds of the rabble (evolution couldn’t be taught in England until Darwin, because of the Church). That was implemented the hard way in France, where many priests were executed.

The Christian mindset made a last victim, one it had wished to do for a very long time, European Jewry… Luther hated Jews in a lethal fashion, and wrote an entire book glorifying his murderous hate. Judaism, the original form of Christianism, was Europe’s oldest surviving religion, and fell prey to the Nazis… Just because Catholicism always wanted to get rid of Judaism, but was held back at the last moment by secular authorities… When the latter became Nazi, there was no holding back. . 

***

After the French and a century later, the Brits ejected the Ottomans from their occupation of North Africa and the Middle East, Arab regimes imitated their protectors and turned secular and progressive. That was called the Nahda… the Renaissance. It lasted from the beginning of the 19th until the mid twentieth century. What caused it? Well the US, France and the UK intervened. The US to recover hostages, launching the US Marines by so doing, then Napoleon tried to emulate Alexander the Great, but was sabotaged by the UK, yet freed Egypt, and finally France conquered Algeria, a den of pirates, at least in Algiers,, arguing that it owned it all along as the successor state of Rome. By the 1930s, Egyptian women in bathing suits were a common sight. But then Islamism returned.

What happened? I have argued that oil happened. As soon as the early 1920s, Ibn Saud, by then king of Saudi Arabia, which he had conquered from the Ottomans and thanks to an alliance with Muslim Fundamentalists, an old family tradition… Ibn Saud got rid of his ardent Jihadists by revealing to the Brits their incoming attack on Jerusalem… The UK massacred them. By the 1930s, US oil men showed up, and by 1945, a deal Ibn Saud couldn’t refuse was made with the dying FDR….In a few days of military communion on the Great Bitter Lake… Give us your oil, recycle your money on Wall Street, and we will condone your religious style dictatorship… That enabled the Muslim Brotherhood, more or less founded by the Nazis, to survive and prosper…In symbiosis with the Great Bitter Lake scheme. Modern Islamism prevented the rise of modern states in North Africa and the Middle East. That was not an accident but the reason why it was activated. 

Isphahan. The main square of Isphahan is one of the world’s most beautiful places. It’s gigantic and full of fabulous mosques, I was there, and it should never be bombed, being one of the world’s greatest art extravaganza.

Razika Adnani is a woman which is a formal education in philosophy of Franco-Algerian nationality who specialize in Islam. She gave a long interview in the Figaro, much of it specific with Algeria and France. Here is the conclusion in a more general vein:

Why do today’s Muslim youth seem more radical than previous generations? How do we explain it?

It is certain that we are witnessing a rise in conservatism and radicalism among young Muslims in the West. This is a continuation of what happened in Muslim countries. This is explained by the fact that we are moving further and further away from the fabulous period called the nahda (often translated as rebirth), which took place in the Muslim world between the beginning of the 19th century and the mid-20th century.

The nahda is a movement of major reforms and a process of modernization which affected all areas including that of religion. Under pressure from conservatives and Islamists who knew how to take advantage of the political and geopolitical events of the time, the nahda failed.

[Patrice Ayme’s thesis is that this failure was not an accident, just as the promotion of Christianism by Roman emperors in the Fourth Century, which was a sinister plot at the highest level, starting with son killing and wife steaming Constantine.]

Conservatives and Islamists, notably the Wahhabis and Muslim Brotherhood, then mobilized to ensure that Muslim societies renounce the gains of this period of modernization, that is to say, go back to the past. , which they gradually achieved. As a result, the more the years separate us from the period of the nahda, the more conservatism and Islamism are expressed and imposed, and the more young people are more religious and conservative than their elders.

How can we fight against the radical ideas shared by young Muslims, which take shape thanks to disinformation and social networks?

The fight must take place on several levels. First of all, that of the State which must be firmer and more determined in its fight against Islamic radicalism to stop the Islamist ideology which is on the march in France. The State must find a solution to this phenomenon of indoctrination by social networks. It cannot fight against fundamentalism and Islamism and leave young people at the mercy of social networks.

It must act at school level by providing training to teachers, enabling them to have intellectual elements of defense against fundamentalist discourse among young people. I myself was a teacher in Algeria at a time when the Islamist wave was invading the country. It was only with these elements of defense that I was able to face the fundamentalism that was affecting certain students. To instill the values of humanism and critical thinking in young people, teachers must stop wanting to spare the sensitivity of Muslims, which is on the one hand discrimination and on the other hand does not help them to emancipate themselves. intellectually.

Then, we must put an end to the idea that “Islamism is not Islam”, which specialists in Islamism like to repeat since the 1970s. It has created the nest of conservatism and radicalism in sheltering Islam from any criticism. This has prevented Muslims from critically looking at their religion and religious discourse. On the contrary, this expression has reassured them in their certainties and their practices which date back to the first centuries of Islam and which are not in agreement with the values of our time and with the culture of France.

Finally, religious discourse must be honest with Muslims and non-Muslims, that is to say, we must put an end to the phrase: “It is not Islam but only Muslims” . A phrase which is itself at the origin of the academics’ phrase: “It is not Islam, but Islamism”. Muslim intellectuals or intellectuals of Muslim culture must get to work to offer Muslims a new Islam, compatible with the values of humanism and the modalities of social and political organization of our time by explaining to them why it is necessary to change and how it is possible to change. Without this work within Islam, without this reform of Islam, radicalism and Islamism will continue to advance. Whatever political measures are taken against these phenomena, they will resurface as long as Islam does not change from within.

How did supporters of political Islam in France manage to impose the concept of “Islamophobia”?

[Patrice Ayme: In many countries including supposedly religiously enlightened France, “Islamophobia”, the JUSTIFIED fear of Islam, is mistranslated into the “hate of Islam”, and viewed as a form of… racism. Whereas, in truth, any religion which threatens to kill people for innocent beliefs and practices, calling them criminal, should be feared, and as the Republican Romans did, extinguished.] 

Islamophobia is a concept that aims to prevent thoughts from being expressed. It is therefore added to the list of concepts and theories that Muslim fundamentalists and literalists put in place, between the 8th century and the 10th century, to block thought and reason and prevent them from expressing themselves. in the field of religion. Among these theories are that of the uncreated Quran, the theory of salaf (or predecessor), the theory of naql (or literalism) and among the concepts there is that which states that “religion is a matter of the heart and not of reason”. Islamophobia therefore easily finds its place in the consciousness of a large part of Muslims who think that Islam, the perfect religion of God transmitted by the predecessors who have held the absolute truth, cannot be criticized.

The Muslim Brotherhood used it in the Muslim world as a weapon against progressives who had a different narrative about the Muslim religion, and in the West to make Muslims feel like victims because criticism about their religion is issued. The idea that Islam does not admit any critical spirit is also nourished by academics, who have repeated for more than 50 years that Islam is not responsible for the problems that arise, but only Islamism which is not Islam.

We therefore reinforced this conviction which existed among a large proportion of Muslims from cultures where Islam is not criticized. For them, anyone who criticizes it has no reason to do so other than out of fear or hatred of this religion. They perceive this as an injustice towards them. Prohibiting critical thinking in the field of Islam is obviously not in the interest of Islam or Muslims.

Quran in Surah Al Ma’idah that says:

“Say, “Shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that as penalty from Allah ? [It is that of] those whom Allah has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs (swine) and slaves of Taghut. Those are worse in position and further astray from the sound way.””  

Can Economics Be Made Into An Exact Science? If So, How?

AWE 2024

Money is the measure of economics. However money is not objective, but eminently subjective. So can money be made objective? [1]

Money gives power. Power is energy by unit of time. Energy is the driving principle of the universe. One could actually base money on energy alone. This is called AWE: Absolute Worth Energy.

If one does that, economics can now become an exact science. With AI, the AWE of each object, product, or… person… could be determined.

The basic idea of AWE is to compute how much energy one has to put to make a piece of steel, or a doctor’s diploma possible. It requires large computational power and refined observations of how much energy is spent even on secondary or tertiary tasks…

Money, as presently used in economics, is mostly created by banks… which lend preferably to the wealthy. Thus money is  a measure of how much hope… or greedy computation, is put into various individuals or projects. This makes money a great enabler of plutocracy, the power of evil and money (Pluto was the god of both). 

Thus money, as it is, is not objective. However AWE is only about physics, it’s objective..That’s why economics using AWE will become objective, thus fairer.

AWE: ENERGY IS THE FUNDAMENTAL UNIT OF ECONOMICS.

Everything has an AWE… not just skyscrapers, even flowers!

France, And Europe, Vicious Downward Tech Spiral. Stopped By Anti-Hero Putin?

Consecutively to being the successor of Rome, and outlawing slavery in 657 CE, under queen Bathilde, an ex-slave, France, Francia, became the technological leader of the world. When one has no slaves, one needs ideas to build machines…

Most of the leading techs of the last 15 centuries were launched in France or by French inventors (contrarily to insulting myths of other jealous nations). Harvesters, labor horses, beans, hydraulic forges, Gothic architecture, field guns, in the Middle Ages; steam engine and steam boat (Denis Papin circa 1700 CE), cars, hot air balloons, master weaver in 18th-century Lyon, France, Jean-Charles Jacquard invented the programmable mechanical loom in 1804, photography (Niépce 1822, Daguerre 1837). motorized planes (Clement Ader, years before the US), internal combustion gasoline engine, nuclear power program for nukes, January 1938; transistors mass produced for high speed railroads just before their US “invention”, Kastler’s optical pumping, 1953, ramjet, computer chip, smart card (Roland Moreno, 1974), Giant Magneto Resistance (Nobel laureate Albert Fert, 1990s)…

However in recent times, European states, led by France, and in particular French woke political correctness infused with ecological hypocrisy and plutocratic manipulations, have doubled social spending (since 1980; especially for illegal immigrants of the Islamist persuasion)… and practiced a policy of deintellectualization and deindustrialization which has led to a catastrophic shrinkage of French technological leadership.. which is now just a shadow of its former self. These policies were akin to high treason, and how exactly they originated and the role of the Kremlin in them, has to be explored. For some reason, France, instead of getting her energy in France, got it from making Putin and Siberia wealthy. Now the energy tends to come from feudal friendly Qatar and distant Wyoming cowboys. That’s “ecology” and impoverishment, French style.

Yet France has nuclear forces indigenously developed and independent of the USA, the only such case in the West (UK nuclear forces are a hardware and software subsidiary of the US; a UK general said the UK could hold around a month without the US… no more…). French nuclear forces are also state of the art, and sometimes more advanced than their US equivalents. French anaerobic submarines are the best in the world (and French nuclear subs use some of their electric equipment to be the most silent… by shutting down their nuclear reactor and going all electric…).

The French are slowly getting conscious of their present state of increasing degeneracy and are starting to take measures to counteract it. This means an increasingly adversarial confrontation with the rest of the European machinery, which seems to have started, and is absolutely necessary. At this point, 2024, Europe can’t even launch a satellite, although New Zealand, North Korea and Iran can…

Things are improving, as the Vice President of the Russian Assembly, excited by French weapons and advisers in Ukraine, threatened to nuke Paris (March 2024). France replied in one sentence that she could defend herself. France helps Ukraine with some of the most sophisticated weapons in the world (CAESAR guns, SCALP AI cruise missile and Aster 30 anti-ballistic missiles… more coming, hopefully…) France was the world’s second exporter of weapons in 2023, behind her creation, the USA, and selling massive numbers of excellent French weapons is the imperial road to reindustrialization… and also survival...

Civilization is ever more technological, or is not. And civilization is stable only if it is technologically superior. France, and Europe forgot this in recent years.

Did Musk Just Try To Kill My Family?

I was driving on the freeway I17 going west of San Jose, a couple of miles from the Santa Cruz mountains, in the heart of the beautiful Silicon Valley. Clear blue sky, 9am. I was in the right, slowest lane, but still at nearly 80 mph, in a 4 wheel drive SUV, with my spouse by my side, my daughter in the back, two empty lanes on the left, and a wide emergency shoulder on the right, which was constricting ahead, as represented in the accompanying photo, taken two miles further on the same road, going the same direction.

I just noticed the constriction, and was thinking of going left, as I prefer space around my vehicle. The freeway was wide, and clear. Generally I am aware of traffic behind me (I check the mirrors and always do before switching lanes).

Suddenly, out of nowhere. with a huge noise a white mammoth, a Tesla Model X going at an infernal pace, surged on my right, swerving violently to avoid the freeway constriction. It was going at least 120 mph (close to 200 km/h). My spouse estimated 150 mph, but that was probably too high. The car passed within inches of ours. This is the first time in my life I get passed furiously, and in the emergency lane! All the more stunning as my part of freeway was empty of cars.

I was so stunned, I said:”I didn’t know Teslas could make that sound.” the horrible and very loud sound in question was the Tesla going over the security grating on the side. After wobbling in the middle of the freeway, fading fast, after a thousand feet or so, the mad Tesla approached a jam of cars and the driver apparently took command, putting the car at less than 60 mph. We came to his level. He was a Chinese looking slightly overweight guy in his fifties or more. He looked stunned, was holding himself ramrod straight, staring ahead with bulging eyes, as if facing the devil, and somebody had put a stake up his wazooo. I didn’t stop for an inquiry as I was meeting family in Santa Cruz and that mountain freeway is the most dangerous in the USA. The Tesla killer made no eye contact.

What happened? Clearly the Tesla was in automatic driving mode, and for some reason accelerated to ungodly speed, and then tried to pass me on the right, in the emergency lane, going around twice the speed limit. 

***

[Notice the constriction on the right side. The Tesla SUV passed to my right… Thirty feet from a similar constriction two miles to the east, same freeway!]

Simplicius: Why do you think the US government enabled Musk to provide millions with his fake and incomplete automatic driving system?

Tyranosopher: To develop AI.

Simplicius: They did not say that.

Tyranosopher: What they say is that, once fully safe and operational automatic driving systems will save lives. ABS braking is a primitive form of automated driving and saves lives.  As it is, though, the entire family nearly died because of Musk’s insistence that his “autopilot” is ready. It’s not authorized in Europe. Although some European cars have reached level 3 of driving automation, higher than Tesla. 

Musk said the greater value of Tesla came from automated driving. However, more and more people realize that it doesn’t work. So Tesla has lost roughly half of its market value…

Simplicius: I thought you continually advocate to take greater risks for the long term greater good of all? So you nearly died a martyr to the cause you defend.

Tyranosopher: I am 100% for automatic driving. As it is (ABS), it saves lives. I like to have a car which automatically corrects and keep me in a lane on a curving road. I drove for months two cars recently which put themselves back into the lane on their own… in Europe (and another in the US). However those systems sometimes fail. The fraud has been to try to make people believe such systems work 100% of the time… As ABS does. It’s definitively criminal to present something that works most of the time into something that works 100% of the time, and the difference is dead people.

We, common people, are not astronauts who signed up for a career advancing, but potentially deadly mission. If automatic driving is not ready for deployment in public, it should not be deployed. Besides the physical accident, there is the psychological injury of a near death experience and being treated like a piece of meat in the way of share prices by a multi billionaire.

Simplicius: Aren’t those arguably criminal characters who lead the world?

Tyranosopher: They are, and this is why this is potentially the worst of all possible worlds.

Addendum, next day: The incident above was close in location to the one who killed an engineer piloting the same vehicle, a Tesla Model X luxury SUV. By coincidence (?????) Tesla settled precipitously the next day that lawsuit….(My essay was posted on April 7 in California, using a GMT time stamp…)

From New York Times:

April 8, 2024

Tesla on Monday settled a lawsuit that blamed the automaker’s driver-assistance software for the death of a California man in 2018, averting a trial that would have focused attention on the company’s technology several months before it plans to unveil a self-driving taxi.

The trial stemming from the death of Wei Lun Huang, an Apple software engineer who went by Walter, was scheduled to start Monday with jury selection. The case was one of the most prominent involving Tesla’s Autopilot software, attracting significant public attention and prompting an investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board.

Terms of the settlement with Mr. Huang’s children and other members of his family were not disclosed, and Tesla filed court documents seeking to prevent them from being made public.

SUB QUANTUM PHYSICAL REALITY, SQPR, In A Nutshell

A Small Difference in one axiom of Quantum Physics has cosmic consequences and predicts many observed effects:

Quantum Mechanics was elaborated by observing Quantum processes in the laboratories. Each such process spans a so-called “Hilbert Space” roughly as large as the lab. More recently Quantum processes have involved much larger distances, from the ground to space and back. Yet, no Quantum process has been conducted at a galactic scale. However, they occur.

The Quantum Mechanics we have is assumed to behave the same on cosmic scales as in the laboratory. We have no proof that it does: it is only an assumption… And a very unnatural one. In particular Quantum Entanglement is supposed to be instantaneous and energy preserving. That would make the notion of Quantum Entanglement unique in physics, as all other notions fade away in the distance: even electromagnetic energy does, as it is stretched by the geometry of the universe itself. 

So it is natural to assume that, over cosmic distances, part of Quantum Entanglement somehow gets tired. And fades away, if otherwise unperturbed (by Quantum Collapse aka “Decoherence”). This fatigue should affect the virtual bosons carrying the force fields. Applied to gravity, one sees it would weaken over cosmic distances. Thus one would get an acceleration of the expansion: Dark Energy.  

Assuming overall conservation of energy, Quantum Entanglement Fatigue would generate a remnant impervious to all forces but gravity: Dark Matter.

At shorter cosmic distances the activation of Quantum Collapse would kill the Quantum Interaction before it gets fatigued, thus the collapses would nullify Quantum Entanglement Fatigue. Hence both Dark Matter and Dark Energy would vary in space and time, and depend upon pre-existing baryonic matter densities.

In conclusion, using a slight yet obvious and very tempting change in the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, without any effect at laboratory distances, one easily gets all observed characteristics of the cosmos that the Standard Model is unable to explain.

This theory is called SQPR (an allusion to the durability of Rome’s SPQR). Sub Quantum Physical Reality. Each word in SQPR has a meaning.. 

SQPR is Sub Quantal in the sense that it makes a refined hypothesis not found in Quantum Mechanics, and yet asymptotic to QM inversely to distance: it under-stands QM. SQPR is also a physical theory: physis is nature. Quantum Mechanics as devised is observer dependent: that makes it all too magical. Magical instead of physical. Quantum magic is known as Schrodinger Cat, Popper Paradox or Wigner’s Friend. SQPR avoids this troubling relativity to the consciousness of observers. 

With the supplementary hypothesis QEF, Quantum Entanglement Fatigue, QM becomes only dependent upon the nature of things. The Physical Reality, from Latin res “property, goods, matter, thing, affair,” means that the theory QM+ that is SQPR depends only upon matter, not conscious observers.

SQPR also provides a preferred frame on a cosmic scale (although it does not contradict Relativity as Quantum Entanglement speed is trillions of trillions of time faster than the speed of light c)… Quantum Entanglement geometry explains inertia (Mach’s principle). 

One of the predictions of SQPR is that the production of DM and DE varies in space and time. This variation was already known for Dark Matter. On April 4, 2024, simultaneous conferences in the USA and Europe announced that the biggest and most precise survey yet of the history of the universe announced that they might have discovered a major flaw in their understanding of Dark Energy, the mysterious force known to speed up the expansion of the cosmos.

Dark energy was assumed to be a constant force in the universe, both currently and throughout cosmic history. A simple constant, Lambda, that Einstein added to the left side of the second order PDE describing the dependency of gravity upon mass-energy, decides whether the universe expands or contracts (Einstein had added Lambda to make the universe static… just shortly before astronomers showed that it was expanding…). 

The 2024 data suggest that Lambda may be a variable, growing stronger or weaker over time, reversing or even fading away. As predicted by SQPR, not LCDM.

“As Biden would say, it’s a B.F.D.,” said Adam Riess, an astronomer at Johns Hopkins University and the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore. He shared the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics with two other astronomers for the discovery of Dark Energy, but was not involved in this new study. “It may be the first real clue we have gotten about the nature of Dark Energy in 25 years,” he said. The survey extends on six million galaxies and is supposed to go to 40 million soon.

The usual assumption — a constant dark energy — didn’t work to describe the expansion of the universe. Galaxies in the three most recent epochs appeared closer than they should have been, suggesting that Dark Energy could be evolving with time. SQPR predicts that DE should have been weaker in the past (just as it predicts less DM in the past)… And this is what is observed… This corresponds to the much older universe predicted by SQPR.

We live in interesting times…

Why Do Some Professors Glorify Stupidity By Pretending That Neither Sex Nor Terrorism Exist?

Pro-Terror Professors So Stupid They Don’t Know That Sex Is Not A Human Invention, Are In Charge Of Glorifying Stupidity. Berkeley Berk.

Is gender a performance? Of course! Known for millennia! However sex is genetic. The latter point has been known since there are men and they think about women. Also babies have been known to make the difference.

Sex is a set of physiological characteristics evolved from a cascade of hormonal, hence continuous, effects launched by XX or XY chromosomes. Most… but not all… people are XX or XY. 

Sex itself sits therefore on a double humped spectrum… two Gaussians united by hermaphrodites. One hump is centered around the effects of XX and the other hump around the effects of XY. 

Upon inspection, most people are around XX or XY physiologically.

There are XX brains and there are XY brains. They operate slightly differently. Humanity can’t do without either of those.

It is a fact of history that some of the most important rulers in history were female.

Egypt had several important female pharaohs. Rome had more than a couple of important Augusta. China had one very important empress. And the Franks had more than half a dozen queens in quick succession, concluding with Bathilde, the most important leader, ever, as she made slavery unlawful in Europe. The slave masters were so disgusted with Bathilde’s reign of terror freeing slaves, that it would be 4 centuries before the next ruling queen of France, Anna of Kyiv…

***

Judith Butler, a UC Berk professor, posing as a would-be man, grabbed lots of notions from the obscuring pseudo-philosophy of Foucault and Derrida… The sort of pseudo-philosophy which brought the reign of woke, and the collapse of Europe. Following them, she asserted that “gender” was “performative “ …performativity is a notion pushed by Derrida… Her own performance is to look like an angry guy, but she has succeeded to pose at what passes for a thinker among those who can’t read.

Now of course that gender is performative has been known for millennia. Some Egyptian female pharaohs posed with beards. African “griots” are a millennia old tradition. Griots are males impersonating many naturally womanly characteristics from femaleness (higher pitch voices, singing, etc…) In more recent times, “drag queens” males hilariously overemphasizing naturally female induced characteristics, have sometimes made careers of it… Pharaoh Hatshepsut… a very beautiful… bearded woman:

***

For many years, Hatshepsut (ca 1508– 1458 B.C.) fulfilled the traditional female role of supporting player among Egypt’s royals. She was the daughter of one pharaoh (Thutmose I) and queen wife of another (her half brother, Thutmose II). When her husband died in 1479 B.C. and her stepson was appointed heir, Hatshepsut dutifully took on the added responsibility of regent to the young Thutmose III. However, Hatshepsut acted less like a temporary overseer and more like Egypt’s rightful ruler, referring to herself as “Lady of the Two Lands” [of Egypt!]. When Thutmose III approached maturity—when he would officially become pharaoh —she stopped the masquerade. 

Hatshepsut declared herself pharaoh, adopting the emblems and titles associated with the title. She had herself portrayed in pictures and statues as a man, with a male body and long false beard. She even claimed the god Amun as her father and insisted that he meant for her to take charge of Egypt: “I acted under his command; it was he who led me.”

She ruled for 21 years, until her natural death. She led a successful expedition to the land of Punt, around the Horn of Africa, Somalia, then much wetter than now. Egyptians had not been there for 5 centuries…

OK back to pontificating stupidity:

“If the immutable character of sex is contested, perhaps this construct called ‘sex’ is as culturally constructed as gender; indeed, perhaps it was always already gender, with the consequence that the distinction between sex and gender turns out to be no distinction at all.”

― Judith Butler, Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity

And perhaps Butler believes that everything in the universe, including the movements of celestial bodies, is subject to Allah’s command and guidance? As the Ramadan crowd believes? The Ramadan crowd waits until some of the highest priests (they are proud not to call them priests, but that’s what they are!)… tell them if the Moon appeared. 

The analogy with Butler is the denial of an existence of nature independent of humanity: Butler decides whether sex exists or not, the Allah priests decide whether Alllah made the Moon appear or not…

I am not exaggerating with Butler.

From the introduction of Butler’s in “Bodies that Matter”

“Is there a way to link the question of materiality of the body to the performativity of gender? And how does the category of ‘sex’ figure within such a relationship? Consider first that sexual difference is often invoked as an issue of material differences. Sexual difference, however, is never simply a function of material differences which are not in some way both marked and formed by discursive practices. Further, to claim that sexual differences are indissociable from discursive demarcations is not the same as claiming that discourse causes sexual difference. …In other words, ‘sex’ is an ideal construct which is forcibly materialized through time. It is not a simple fact or static condition of the body, but a process whereby regulatory norms materialize ‘sex’ and achieve this materialization through forcible reiteration of those norms

If some professors are obviously saying stupid things, perhaps their real function is not to teach the obviously stupid things they are saying, but to teach that stupidification is glorious and one can make a career out of it..

Butler is a supporter of Hamas. In other words, she is an Islamist terrorist keen to see more mega death thanks to the Allah cult. According to Le Monde:

During a round-table discussion on March 3 in Pantin, outside Paris, Judith Butler, who uses they/them pronouns, said that these attacks, the massacres committed by Hamas in Israel on October 7, 2023 were an act of “resistance.” Their words quickly sparked strong reactions after several excerpts were posted on social media.

A distinguished professor at the University of California, Berkeley, Butler is currently in France at the invitation of the Centre Pompidou. 

Judith Butler is a stupidity performance artist. Stupidity and stupidification is how the plutocracy rules. Some many of the so-called self-defined “left”, are actually fascists in the sense that they support the plutocratic order which they feign to differ with…

Berkeley Berk?

I was at UC Berkeley today. My old haunts. There were guided tours of the palatial, somewhat medieval business school, with its soaring arches, complete with alluring guides with science fiction garb leading imposing herds of attentive youth… All this young people… How many indoctrinated with solid bone head stupidity? So much mental power, so easy to lead astray…
