Horror: Hyper Wealthy Politico Hammered In San Francisco

There is constant violence and murder, and threats thereof, around the SF Bay Area. The inequality has grown enormously, and the destitute, many thousands of them, live in the worst camps on the planet, says the UN. I was brought up in the poorest Africa, and I have seen countless times the SF Bay camps, and I agree: it’s worst in the SF Bay Area. Once a homeless person was laying down in excrements and urine, obviously dying. I called 911…  A few blocks from Pelosi’s 25 million dollar mansion. Pelosi also has a winery, worth much more, just north. Now all this may be tied with Congress people engaging, among other things,  in insider trading, a practice of Congress which Pelosi insisted on, for decades.

Nancy Pelosi is worth at least 135 million. Most of this fortune was made while she was “Democratic” House Speaker, thus, de facto Prime Minister, and the second in line of succession to the US Preidency. Her “genial investor husband” (dixit NYT) much more than that. Feinstein, another SF politician, is worth dozens of millions, and her husband is a billionaire from trading with China, something his spouse mostly presided over in the last 30 years.. Corruption by leaders is a form of violence exerted on society. It is actually the master violence.

In Athens, We The People voted laws directly. In 2022 US, a “legislator” “represents” 770,000 people. The laws those few people voted for created a violent society, and they are fine with it, as long as the great Lords don’t get attacked. Meanwhile in the UK, the new PM earned more than $100 million, and paid no taxes. Sorry, as with Pelosis and Feinsteins, the spouse made the biggest bucks. But the local pluto media considers it a major tragedy when one of the Lords of the Bay gets attacked. Entire streets get blocked, front pages of local media are plastered with the unfathomable horror:

No answer presents itself, when low lives attack the fabulously wealthy and democratically legislating. Local plutocratic media orders you to get deeply upset, because a politically dominant plutocrat was hurt by a low life!

Marion D. Mahoney reacted: “Your first paragraph is interesting. We go to SF frequently and were told by a visitor from Mumbai that the city looks worse than their slums.“

Indeed! Fabulously wealthy people living in their mansions of Pacific Heights are not concerned, worried or troubled by homeless defecating in the streets half a mile away. The outrage because a hyper wealthy (spouse of hyper wealthy politician) got hammered is astounding, considering the danger of just taking the subway (“BART”)… Maniacs are all over the place, and usually they don’t connect with the fabulously wealthy. Notice that the police arrived in 2 minutes to rescue Mr hyper wealthy Pelosi.

If one lives in a poor area, the police may show three hours later, purely symbolically, cruise in the middle of street, no stopping (all this is related from personal experience). This blade runner society, with hyper wealth revelling in proximal squalor, is something that Nancy Pelosi, most of the time the top legislator in the USA since 2006, has been instrumental in fabricating with her fake worries and deliberately misguided legislation. Yes, local people have had enough to be hammered by hyper wealth, hiding behind the smokescreen of “woke” discourse and PC racism…

A subscriber of the WSJ published the following funny parody of the discourse the woke, PC, and high level “Democrats” engage in, when similar events happen to somebody else than the US elite:

Douglas Miller:

I think we need to wait for all the facts before we assume this guy is guilty of something.  There are reasonable explanations for why this guy was there at 2:30am with a hammer.  Perhaps he was planning to do some repairs on the home.  He is one of Ms. Pelosi’s constituents – perhaps he wanted to discuss some ideas for Build Back Better III.  Or maybe he thought the hammer would be a good symbol for building back better. Or maybe he was just looking for a matching sickle.  Innocent until proven guilty.  I certainly hope that the bail requirement will be dropped.  The guy is poor and bail is oppressive.  Where is he going to come up with that kind of money?  He’ll probably lose his job if they don’t let him out

CIVILIZATION MEANS And REQUIRES DEBATE, Not Censorship

Yes, as simple as that: the very concept of censorship, that is, that some authorities know what can be communicated beyond what has been determined by democratic law to be reprehensible, is the enemy of civilization. The enemy of debate is censorship. Civilization was created because it enables better debate. Reciprocally, for ecological reasons, civilization can’t keep on existing without advancing understanding brought by debate. So censorship in the end kills civilization. 

Authoritative thinking is the enemy of creative thinking. Creative thinking comes from debate. Creative thinking, civilization cannot do without because civilization cannot be static as it exhausts the resources which made it possible. There have been no static civilization since cities appeared. Entire sites once enjoying thriving metropolises, in the Mediterranean, Asia, or the Americas, are now wilderness.

Democracy is strongest and best, because democracy fosters the most intelligent debates. Debates are not just logical, they are emotional, because emotions help forge new logic, as needed. However the passion for logic has to restrain hate and the passion for outrageous simplification. 

Inappropriate and excessive passions must be moderated intelligently by debate. 

Now to conduct maximally intelligent public debate, parrhesia, not fearing to speak one’s mind, and isegoria, equal right of speech to public assemblies, are necessary. 

The Greeks viewed parrhesia and isegoria as pillars of democracy  

Censoring content privately and secretly, as Twitter and some other social media, and old fashion media do, block parrhesia and isegoria. Not just by direct action, but by creating a mood. 

Particularly so by censoring famous celebrities and heads of states.

Censorship makes it impossible to say what one really thinks. In censored media, I limit my thoughts and emotions and I am careful to say little. 

A view of history shows that censors were overwhelmingly in general wrong and constituted the major brakes on the progress of civilization for the better. 

Social media controllers also practice “trending”, to divert from authors whom they often have interest to block the ideas of, in their defense of the oligarchies…

Objections or kudos were raised by several interlocutors. They will be addressed in a follwin post.

P/S: Elon Musk just bought Twitter, and fired its perverse leadership, including a young lawyer, an immigrant from India, who banned Donald Trump… And made more than 20 million dollars a year. OK, she is cute and travelled with Dorsey, the hacker who help found Twitter and was its CEO, saying stuoid things about how great censorship was…. Twitter, like Facebook, Google are public utility monopolies…

RENEWABLE HOAX

Abstract: Sun and wind are INTERMITTENT energy sources. But there is no commensurate storage of this intermittence. Thus, for each Gigawatt of Intermittent Energy, one Gigawatt of back-up power needs to be installed. ABSENT CARBON-FREE NUCLEAR or HYDROGEN, this means one Gigawatt of FOSSIL FUELS back-up for each Gigawatt of intermittent energy installed. As observed. Hence the position of self-proclaimed anti-nuclear ecologists is truly pro-fossil fuels (the hydrogen technology would take a while to develop, but nuclear exists already). Thus CO2 emissions are at an all time high.

***

PUTIN And The HYDROCARBON LOBBY Seem To Have Devised The Renewable Energy Hoax. The same plutocrats, oligarchs and media propaganda are behind it all… The Biden administration own studies show this.

4 trillion dollars spent in so-called renewables, in 40 years and a reduction of only 1% or so in primary energy production from hydrocarbons. We are still above 80% in total primary energy from hydrocarbons… And that doesn’t count making plastics from hydrocarbons…

4 trillion dollars in bogus renewable energy is as much not applied in research, education, health care, etc. And the bogus renewable energy, by comforting those who engage in air travel and other energy sins, acts as a moral hazard. Bogus renewable only encourages surfers to fly on the other side of the planet to catch that wave (I had a memorable clash with a group of world class surfers flying from Paris to Tahiti, to catch that wave, and who, per their status, got priority over yours truly… although I was in line first and had paid for my family reason flight myself… I travelled for family reasons, indeed. The horde of surfers was paid by magazines, that is, plutocrats…)

Clearly the strategy of the world has been so bad in this CO2 crisis, that it’s laughable, and should be discontinued. Is it? No, and there is doubling down, especially in Europe, where some politicians, with a straight face, have decided to reduce energy use by 10% (ten percent)… next year. No problem! Uncle Xi has just reelected himself dictator of China and he commands hundreds of millions of obsequious slaves to make stuff… And Uncle Xi builds one coal plant a week! As Comrade Xi takes over the planet, he will take care of his little Europeans…

Forget Trump and his dreams of national self-sufficiency, and listen to Biden’s administration: “Nuclear Power is the Most Reliable Energy Source and It’s Not Even Close… “ An official government report, March 24, 2021.

***

The intermittent wind and solar have a problem: they are intermittent, unpredictable, and their average power output is way lower than official maximum output. 

Solar delivers only 25% of its rated output in electricity, wind only 35%, and natural gas 57%. As recently as 2010, coal delivered 67% but has fallen precipitously to 40%. 

Why is coal becoming inefficient? According to the National Energy Technology Laboratory, America’s coal plants increasingly are operated in inefficient, stop-start fashion to support wind and solar. A coal furnace may need hours to reach the temperature to make steam. The same holds for gas and oil, magnifying the risk of breakdowns and blackouts as observed all over the countries switching to renewables. 

Nuclear energy has by far the highest capacity factor of any other energy source. This means nuclear power plants are producing maximum power more than 92% of the time during the year.

That’s about nearly 2 times more than natural gas and coal units, and almost 3 times or more reliable than wind and solar plants.

Another aspect is deindustrialization in democracies. It is striking that hundreds of French schools are too cold, and that in France the Prime Minister announced energy consumption will have to be reduced by 10%, with cuts to industry. Now French industry is a shadow of its former self, already. Moreover, the country’s CO2 emissions per capita are already less than world average, 4 tons per capita, per year. That’s about 20% of Australia. Meanwhile a thousand kilometers to the east, more than 10,000 armored military vehicles have been destroyed in 8 months in an all-out war. One would think the time is to reindustrialization and rearmament. But no: the so-called “ecologists” look forward to a return to the Middle Ages under Czar Putin. 

Indeed, as industry is cut in democracies, it flourishes in other parts with less democracy and more arrangements for crooks… The global plutocracy profits from this traffic and tax mitigation it brings. (One should notice that, starting under Trump, and now much extended under Biden, a program of reindustrialization is under way in the USA… Differently from Western Europe.)

As I said many times, hydrogen has to be developed for storage and transportation (especially fuel cell-electric…) But that’s fully compatible with nuclear power. Actually a way to cool high temperature reactors would be to make hydrogen, and that has the advantage of making the reactors water independent…

The so-called “renewable” policy in energy for the last 40 years looks like something devised by Putin and the hydrocarbon lobbies… And also those financial operators who instinctively fear to be replaced, in awe due to them, by vulgar scientists rolling out new forms of nuclear power, immensely mighty, safe and effective: small modular reactors, thorium, high temperature, pebble, radioactive waste burning, etc.  

Aanother aspect is deindustrialization in democracies. It is striking that hundreds of French schools are too cold, and that in France the Prime Minister annouced energy consumption will have to be reduced by 10%, with cuts to industry. Now French industry is a shadow of its former self, already. Moreover, the country’s CO2 emissions, per capita ar already lees than world average, 4 tons per capita, per year. That’s about 20% of Australia. Meanwhile a thousand kilometer to the east, more than 10,000 armored military vehicles have been destroyed in 8 months in an all-out war. One would think the time is to reindustrialization and rearmament. But no: the so-called “ecologists” look forward a return to the Middle Ages under Czar Putin. 

Indeed, as industry is cut in democracies, it flourishes in other parts with less democracy and more accomodations for crooks… The global plutocracy profits from this traffic and tax mitigation it brings. (One should notice that, starting under Trump, and now much extended under Biden, a program of reindustrialization is under way in the USA… Differently from Western Europe.)

As I said many times, hydrogen has to be developed, for storage and transportation (fuel cell-electric…) But that’s fully compatible with nuclear. Actually a way to cool high temperature reactors would be to make hydrogen, and that has the advantage of making the reactors water independent…

So called renewables will be very useful if hydrogen storage and transportation is available. So the hydrogen economy has to be developed, and the base energy has to be nuclear.

Mass Kidnapping Of Ukrainian Children Is Genocide

Heartbreaking story: Reporters established contact between a girl stolen by Russia and her mother in Ukraine. New York Times in: “Using Adoptions, Russia Turns Ukrainian Children Into Spoils of War
Thousands of Ukrainian children have been transferred to Russia.

“As Russian forces laid siege to the Ukrainian city of Mariupol this spring, children fled bombed-out group homes and boarding schools. Separated from their families, they followed neighbors or strangers heading west, seeking the relative safety of central Ukraine.

Instead, at checkpoints around the city, pro-Russia forces intercepted them, according to interviews with the children, witnesses and family members. The authorities put them on buses headed deeper into Russian-held territory.

“I didn’t want to go,” said Anya, 14, who escaped a home for tuberculosis patients in Mariupol and is now with a foster family near Moscow. “But nobody asked me.”

Reporters told Anya and Oksana how to contact each other. The prospect of Anya returning home, though, is unclear. Ukrainian officials have been tight-lipped about how they have gotten dozens of children back from Russia.

“Is this really her number?” Anya asked.”

 According to some Russian officials, more than 7,000 children were taken from Ukraine by Russian authorities, for “adoption”. This falls in the category of genocide, as defined by the United Nations. Right, “whataboutists” will smugly bleat that Canada and Australia engaged in children mass kidnapping on an ethnic basis, as recently as the 1960s, 1970s. Yes, that was genocide, but they tried to hide it. The Kremlin is massive and blatant about it.  

The Kremlin subjugated population has been collapsing. The population under control used to be around 300 million, now the Kremlin controls less than 145 million. Besides replenishing itself with water, arable soil, and minerals, one aim of the nuclear tyrant is to replenish his population. Hence the perverse state pedophilia (love of children) of the Kremlin. Forcing children to become slaves torn away from all their roots is not just a political crime, and a well-defined genocide, it’s also a neurological crime.

New York Times: “When children had nobody to call, or when parents were unable or unwilling to brave the journey to Donetsk, the children were given no choice.

While Ivan was waiting for the headmaster to pick him up, he said, the other children were put on a bus for Russia. They protested. “No one listened to them,” Ivan said. “They had no choice.”…

Anya and others described a wrenching process of coercion, deception and force as children were shipped to Russia from Ukraine. Together, their accounts add to a growing body of evidence from governments and news reports about a removal-and-adoption policy that targets the most vulnerable children in the most dangerous situations.

Transferring people out of an occupied territory can be a war crime, and experts say the practice is especially thorny when it involves children, who may not be able to consent. Ukrainian officials accuse Russia of perpetrating a genocide. The forced transfer of children, when intended to destroy a national group, is an act of genocide under international law.

Russian officials have made clear that their goal is to replace any childhood attachment to home with a love for Russia.”

The New York Times found a woman from Siberian city of Salekhard, a terribly cold place on the Ob river by the Arctic ocean, with trees no more than 4 meters tall, when they exist. The woman was in the process of acquiring her fifth Ukrainian child….

Olga Druzhinina said she adopted four children, aged 6 to 17, from around the Ukrainian city of Donetsk more than 1,600 miles away. Russia recently illegally annexed the Donetsk region and three others in eastern and southern Ukraine.

“Our family is like a small Russia,” Ms. Druzhinina said in an interview. “Russia took in four territories, and the Druzhinin family took in four children.”

She said she was awaiting a fifth child and considered the children fully Russian. “We are not taking what is not ours,” she said.

That Siberian woman who stole four Ukrainian children lives in a city which saw the murder of 300,000 political prisoners under Stalin (who himself killed six million Ukrainians in 1932, and Stalin did this deliberately as he said in writing:” Causing themselves war with a vengeance, dear comrade Solohov!” [1]). When one has lived all of one’s life in Kremlin regimes which killed, stole and abused people industrially, it is natural to be oneself a killer, an abuser and a thief, and believe all of this to be normal, highly moral behavior. And she dares to say, speaking of children from another country and other families: “We are not taking what is not ours”.

This is our tragedy in Russia today. We are all in the situation of suffering from a population which has learned from childhood to live in a brutalizing country. Because, thanks to nuclear weapons, the danger from the perverse Kremlin mentality extends all over.

The Kremlin is teaching, even preaching, deliberately, the violation of basic human rights to the entire planet: this is why, differently from the Nazis, the Putinists are not hiding their malfeasance. Thus they boast of forced children “adoption” and the removal of entire civilian populations (both war crimes). When the Soviets did similar things, for example in Ukraine in 1933, they hid what they were doing.

Putin does not hide, because he wants to invert all of the world’s moral values. He is doing a good job: many regimes approve of him, and one could see the former president of China, Hu, forcibly removed from the greatest assembly, by Xi’s bodyguard, because Hu objected to the dictatorship of Xi. Xi as declared “eternal friendship” with Russia (until he overruns Siberia in general and Vladivostok in particular).

In general, worldwide, it has become a question of survival of humanity to make it impossible for oligarchies to control the world. All the more as they got to such powers from having the worst hearts.

Putin and his oligarchs thought they had the West, the democracies, under their thumbs: they could rob Russia blind, and invest in, and thus control, the West (Obama, US president to Russian president, in 2012, on a hot mike:”Tell Vladimir I will be more free after the elections“… free to stab democracy in the back…) They underestimate the Ukrainians, who have seen it all, and who, like the Jews, suffered in a similar way, and found the one and only similar solution: tanks.

Genocidal regimes don’t necessarily lose… But when they won, as they did most recently in the US, Canada and Australia, they did so against primitive, neolithic populations. Progress is one: we don’t steal children, because we teach them well, and the first thing we teach is that people are not property. Well taught children can grow up to make excellent tanks, as Putin is finding out.

Stalin fuller quote: “ …the respected farmers of his district, and not only his, have led protests and sabotages, and were ready to leave workers and the Red Army without bread! The fact that one commits a silent sabotage yet appears loyal and peaceful (without bloodshed) is a fact that does not change anything about the affair, those respected farmers have searched for a way to depose Soviet power. Causing themselves war with a vengeance, dear comrade Solohov!” (The Black Book of Communism).

How the Kremlin massacred Ukrainian children in 1933: through deliberate mass starvation. 90 years later, the genocide has improved in humane quality

P/S: I commented and was blocked by the NYT. Perhaps, because of the essence of what I said, that, using the examples provided by the NYT itself, the Russian population has been brutalized, and thus brutalizes… When brutality is all one knows, it’s all what one reproduces… Or maybe it was my use of the word “pedophilia”. How did I dare call Putin a pedophile? Am I being disrespectful with the would-be murderer of all of humanity? Just because he loves to kidnap thousands of children?

What always surprises me with NYT censorship is how refined, paying attention to the smallest detail, and how drastic it is.

***

P/S 2: On Otober 22, 2022, it transpired that Russian authorities in Krasnodar Krai have “indefinitely” extended the “vacations” (meaning forced abductions as part of an ethnic cleansing campaign) of children from Enerhodar, Zaporizhia Oblast…

Democracy Against Fascism. So Boost Defenses: This Is World War Three.

This is a world war of democracy against fascism, it has to be taken with the utmost seriousness. Islamist Iran has chosen to help the Kremlin, and should be treated accordingly. Iran should be fought, and Israel should be aware that Iran is training in Ukraine. Silly Iranian drones produced in great quantity with tech grabbed all around the world, are having devastating effects. Not just in killing civilians, but in draining stocks of Ukrainian air defenses (which are refurbished S300 from the USSR, mostly).

Europe should not turn over-confident that Ukraine will win. Rifts may be appearing, because Germany is more willing to finance the US military-industrial complex… by purchasing US made systems rather than financing existing European ones which are similar or even better [1]. 

China is staying out of full involvement in Ukraine, but not out of sympathy for democracy. China is presently helping Russia a lot, for example, by buying hydrocarbons to Russia. Some experts claim that Russia would collapse in three weeks without Chinese help. An historical reminder: without Russian oil, Nazi Germany could not have fought, at all, in 1940. The Nazi tanks and planes would have stayed nailed to the ground. (Nazi Germany developped massive production from secret US Standard Oil process only later, and only later did Nazi Germany gain access to Rumanian oil fields, also in consequence of the defeat of France… Even then, Germany was not producing enough fuel, and thus, later in the war, German pilots could not be trained for little more than basic flying… This means that the alliance between the Nazis and Russia was crucial in 1939 to 1941… crucial to Nazu aggression…)

China is careful in not sending weapons to Russia that we know of, because it knows that it would lose if hostilities culminated into all out nuclear war. (In an all-out nuclear war with Russia, Western forces would direct nuclear fire not against cities, but against Russian nuclear forces. By precaution, they would also have to annihilate Chinese nuclear forces.) 

Fortunately, differently from what happened in WW1 and WW2, most democracies are reacting accordingly. Most democracies have understood that this is the war of one man against the world… So 143 countries voted against that man in the United Nations in October 2022.

Fifty (50) democracies are giving weapons or military help to Ukraine, including Sweden and Switzerland. The case of those two is interesting: Sweden and Switzerland, especially Sweden, helped the Nazis with their “neutrality” in World War 2 (Swiss help consisted in financial arrangements and crucial industrial production, for example the production of ball-bearings for Nazi war machinery… Until, by “accident”, the US Air Force bombed said factories…).

This time, confronted to this latest imperial fascist aggression, the USA is leading in the fight. This is a vast difference, with the years 1914-1917 and 1938-1940, when, very opportunisitically, cynically, and inhumanly, a treachorous USA let France and Britain fight for survival against fascism.

(The reason for the US not helping European democracies, for so many long years, when those were under fascist attack was that, as far as US plutocrats and the US Deep State were concerned, the colossal European empires stood in the way to the even more hummongous US empire to come. By weakening, damaging or even killing, France, Britain, Belgium and the Netherlands, the world promised to become  anew wilderness in which, helped by the US Cavalry, US capitalists could roam… A reproduction of how the US Wesr was won, … and exactly as it happened… This is why the US helped characters such as Mao and Ho Chi Minh, or even Khomeiny, and Muslim Fundamentalism, during that crucial juncture… Well done, Machiavellian style…)

In the present crisis, just as in World War One and World War Two, there is only one way out, the total defeat of fascism. Even more so, because, for the first time ever, a superpower used nuclear blackmail… On all concerned (the case of Japan in 1945 was different: the Japanese army had committed huge massacres, and was actually not blackmailed, but came to its leaders came to their senses, accepting surrender, within 12 hours of learning of the bombing of Nagasaki). 

Trying to mitigate and navigate around dictators is short sighted, especially when nuclear weapons are involved. Dictators, or at least the spirit which animate them, per their reigns, are intrinsically deranged and nilihilistic: they tend to prefer to die, rather than not to achieve their cruel goals.

In the invasion of Ukraine, nuclear weapons are involved, because of “nuclear blackmail”, an expression Putin himself used (accusing others to do it, but that’s the usual trick of the perpetrator accusing the victim of victimizing the aggressor..)

European unilateral disarmament of the last few decades, and will not to impose peace and order, in the name of an unreal view of human nature, has been a catalyst for the growth of fascist dictatorships, all over the world.

In particular, Xi’s China and the Kremlin have not been blocked in Africa, Europe’s own backyard, as they should have been…

All possible weapons have to be sent to Ukraine, and Europe has to scramble to arm itself (especially with anti-missile forces). Not defending democracy is the same as welcoming fascism. Not preparing for war is lethal to peace. Not preparing for nuclear war is lethal to civilization. Disarming when facing a nuclear tyranny is preparing for a worst so bad, only the grimmest science fiction, the sort with cannibalism, has imagined it.

And all this because idiots imagined that wolves could be persuaded to eat salad, through the sheer power of example… and didn’t want to be bothered when told that was unrealistic. In other words, sheer idiocy.

The world “idiot” came from the Greek. idiotes… literally “private person”  as opposed to one taking part in public affairs, politics. “Idiot” came then to be used patronizingly for “ignorant person,” from idios “one’s own”… and then passed in Latin and later French medieval usage. In other words, idiots are individuals so preoccupied by their personal, inner world, that the world escapes them. This is what happened when self-glorifying “pacifists” took over… And decided to buy all manufacturing in China and gas in Russia… while retiring at age 60 (as is the case in France).

Similar idiocy is deployed in the climate crisis. The French Prime Minister actually declared that energy consumption in France will have to get lowered by 10% next year (because of the war in Ukraine, supposedly, coincidentaly with Macron closing or neglecting nuclear reactors to the point that half of them are stopped for maintenance and two have been dismantled). In either case, strategic idiocy… a form of hubris

No US soldier was injured during the shooting of that movie. London on fire, 1940. Where was US help? A few month before, Roosevelt had sent his right hand man, 4 star Admiral Leahey as ambassador to Vichy, recognizing this way the Hitlerian friendly junta of Petain and other traitors…

[1] The French Mamba made of Aster 15 and 30 missiles in a Thales and MDMA collaboration, is as good and probably better than its US equivalent the Patriot system (Italian, French and UK navies use Asters for air defense). However Germany prefers to ingratiate itself with the US military-industrial complex… And that’s ironical, not to say foolhardy, especially considering how negative Germany was about Trump (and Biden is like Trump, just more polite, as a German minister in Merkel’s government pointed out… even Trump asked Germany to boost defense spending, and that must mean not just buying more US equipment, but building a European military-industrial complex…).

WHAT EINSTEIN DIDN’T UNDERSTAND: W Is Different From (W,E)!

Referring to Quanta, foundations of physics expert Dr. Ian Miller said in a comment on this site: “What the particle does it will do irrespective of whether you wish to try and calculate it.” 

This is, rephrased, an affirmation of LOCALITY found in Einstein’s famous EPR paper of 1935 [1]. Let’s try to dispose of it.

The “particle” “is”/or is “guided by”… a wave W… Of this all those who passed a course in Quantum Mechanics agree. Basic QM consists in computing amplitudes of complex probability waves W.

That W is the Quantum Wave appearing all over Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory. Right, the nature of the wave W will change according to what Quanta we consider… Let’s neglect this for a moment.

[[In SQPR, the quanta is a nonlinear wave with a linear tail, expanding and contracting at a quasi-infinite speed (that allows SQPR to quasi-duplicate Bohm’s quantum potential)… But this is irrelevant here for the most general argument. We only need the concept of a wave.]]

Now if one sets up an experiment E, wave W, being a wave, will interact specially with E. The point is that (W,E) is different from (W, E’), if E is different from E’. Niels Bohr made, basically, that argument to Einstein, who couldn’t understand it… (Nor could I, for the longest time!)

But SQPR makes clear why that’s true… And, even simpler, so does the simplest wave mechanics, as long as the wave interferes with the environment. But that matter wave interferes with the environment, we know, and have known for a million years, because light coming out of a hole diffracts, or makes rainbows coming out of eyelashes…. Diffraction patterns are everywhere.

More sophisticated, and for spin: Stern-Gerlach magnets…. Which shows that spin measurments don’t commute, and “which path” information is crucial… The “which path” data is itself nonlocal…

We know of “the particle” W because we put some experiment E in its way. W is different from the entangled pair (W,E). This is the core of what Einstein didn’t get. The biggest notions in physics are the simplest [2].

***

TRYING TO BE MORE SOPHISTICATED REINFORCES THE ARGUMENT:

So the argument was disposed of, and Einstein instructed…I agreed with Einstein for years before realizing my mistake, and that Bohr was right.

However, classically inclined skeptics will moan, what is this W? 

Well W, the Quantum Wave, is all we have to compute with. W “IS” the Quantum.

W could be the Dirac wave representing the relativistic electron, W could be the wave of the W boson, whatever, they are in different spaces. And they all need to be “renormalized”, right… because the fields self-interfere (“fields” and “waves” are the same things)

But that greater complexity doesn’t change the simplicity of the argument above. It actually makes it even more powerful. Indeed W is truly a wave in the appropriate Hilbert space, itself revealed by the nature of the experiment E one intends to reveal W with…

If I remember well, Niels Bohr made that argument to Einstein, but in a more obscure way, and he aggravated his case with some philosophical mumbo-jumbo…

The point remains: what we want to measure, the Experiment E that we have in mind, determines the grossest mathematical nature of the wave W.  W does not just interfere with E, E creates the grossest nature of the W to start with (for example Dirac wanted a first order PDE conserved by relativity to depict the electron; out of that requirement popped out spin and antimatter… Among other things…)

Patrice Ayme

***

P/S: Some want to grab the wave W, and complain they can’t, because W lives in “phase space” (aka the Hilbert Space which is the experiment E. But that’s misunderstanding about how thinking works: One can’t decide the universe, and all its objects are three dimensional, when we have plenty of forces, and, as Riemann more or less pointed out, each of them brings us one or more dimensions, each of them potentially (joke intended) in a fancy space (for example so-called Clabi-Yau manifolds…) 

 

Diffraction Pattern. This shows that a light wave interfere with its environment, E (in this case a hole). In QFT, one has an evolution equation on one side, and a space dependent energy term on the other, plus a potential A. The A represents the environment E. In the grossest analysis, the situation is the same as above.

***

[1] Einstein used that point, that the particle was always there, untouched, to affirm that, thus, there were HIDDEN (from Quantum Mechanics) variables. It’s not really an argument, because it’s the reaffirmation of the same point. Alain Aspect’s experiment for which he got the Wolf and Nobel prizes in physics, disposed of that the “particle” was TOUCHED… demonstrating that god refused to listen to Einstein.

Putin Propagandists Are Criminal Against Humanity, Block Them!

Example of assertion made publicly against yours truly (by DK):

A few examples of assertions made publicly against yours truly (by DK), a little bit of anti-Patrice hatred, while feeling the love for Putin. That was published, against me, on Facebook, for all to see. : “You refuse to recognize the suffering of the people in eastern Ukraine, now western Russia. You refuse to recognize truth. My inescapable conclusion: You are a Nazi. You should get some nostalgia out of this. The Bandera followers helped the German Nazis do this… Woke madness is not peaceful or productive. It’s pure stupidity. Much of the war is about Russia being mostly straight. Putin is not against gays, except when they try to influence children… Your statements are hysteria. Your hatred is in common with the Nazis in Ukraine, and you don’t have a problem with that. You shame yourself.”

The only Nazis in Ukraine are of course the thugs in Putin’s invasion force… Multiple commissions of the United Nations point to that conclusion. 

The sort of hateful nonsense directed towards me is published, quite frequently… My feelings are not hurt, I don’t feel bad at all. Quite the opposite, rather amused. I am happy to see that Putin’s own deranged servants feel that it is so important to insult me. My own family’s anti-Nazi credentials are impeccable. More than 100 Jews saved; all the family, at huge risks, fought the Nazis, in uniform of or not.

But this sort of insult, calling those who oppose the tyrant Putin “Nazis” can affect those who are weaker in culture, knowledge, history and temparement. They may believe it is smart, as Elon Musk proposed, to give Putin whatever he wants to appease him. Anybody who knows a bit of history knows one doesn’t feed an angry bear with one’s bare hands.

The likes of oligarch Elon Musk, who have not studied the situation on their own and depend, unwittingly, upon Putin’s propaganda to assess it, are vulnerable. All the more when they view themselves for geniuses. In turn, their learned arrogance caused by their own success at dominating people, makes them into dangerous propagators of oligarchic lies! (…and, to boot, Musk was financed by Obama, himself a Putin partisan, de facto, if not de jure… Obama plotted with Putin and refused to help Ukraine in 2014… differently from Trump and Biden) 

This is a serious matter, this vulnerability of the mentally weak. The situation with Putin is incredibly bad, potentially way worse than the worse Hitler ever planned. Indeed, although Hitler threatened the Jews with terrible consequences for the ludicrous reason that Hitler falsely accused the Jews to have caused a World War… before, armed with those anti-factual lies, sending 6 millions of them to gas chambers…

Even though Hitler was a barely conceivable horror, Hitler never threatened all of humanity with terrible consequences. Putin did threaten humanity with extinction, making him, arguably, worse than Hitler, and worse than any preceding tyrant.

All this is rendered possible, at least in Putin’s deranged mind, by horrible, 100% misdirected insults throughout the Internet against individuals who, as yours truly try to tell the truth. That, in turn, has a chilling effect on the truth.

A famous blogger in Australia, with millions of followers, paid by Putin several times wrote publicly to me, and I quote:”Are you out of your fucking mind?” or:”What the fuck is wrong with you?” She published daily extensive, well crafted pieces prepared by Putin propagandists. She has a devoted public. 

Such people are agents of a criminal against humanity (see below) and should be put out of commission. 

Putin attacked and invaded Ukraine (starting 8 years ago). That’s a war crime. Eight years ago the US president who implicitly presented himself as a friend of Putin, did nothing. He was not experienced enough, nor correctly educated (all he did in high school was dope) , little educated, and a self-described “navigator” (so no principles besides self-advancement). His tow successors, Trump and Biden did send weapons to Ukraine. Trump sent enough to stop Putin. However, after Biden came to power, the Democratic Congress stalled a Javelin anti-tank missile sale to Ukraine scheduled under Trump. At that point, over summer, Putin discreetly made it so that Europe, in particular Germany, could not store enough natural gas for the following winter. In other words, there is thus implied proof that Putin intended to invade the rest of Ukraine the following winter. Then Putin wrote a 5,000 words historically biased essay which eradicated Ukraine from history and made Kremlin Russia god, asserting it had the right to recover all its lost territories.

At that point, cherry on the cake, Biden shamefully dropped Afghan women in the maws of the Taliban, leaving behind 90 billion dollars of US equipment (so now there is such a thing as a Taliban air force). Hence, Biden projected abject, senile weakness.

Putin knew very well that the Europeans had begged Biden not to pull out of Bagram Air Force base, as that condemned the Afghan air force to not being able to repair its planes, hence, as the Afghan army couldn’t do without the air force, Afghanistan would fall to the savages. Europeans proposed to leave 10,000 soldiers in Afghanistan, and Bagram was the safest base of the US military, worldwide. However, like a senile old fool, Biden persisted, basically saying that it was better to lose a war than to go on with it. 

The autocrat in the Kremlin, self assured but not very smart, swallowed the whole thing, bait, hook, line, sinker and even the boat. 

So Putin attacked, but then it turned out that the Ukrainians, who had accomplished remarkable feats of war when Putin attacked them in 2014, and nobody would help them, repeated the performance. But this time the Ukrainians had thousands of Western rockets, soon to turn into more than seventeen thousands. 

Putin propaganda presented by Putinophiles as truth claims: if you talk Russian in Ukraine, you are executed. However many top Ukrainian officials, president, defense minister, etc, are native Russian speakers, and use their Russian… to address Russians! Presidents and Prime Minister are Jewish, Putin claims they are Nazis. And so on: in Putin’s world what is true is false and what’s false is true!

 

Giant Poster of Putin propaganda in Crimea after he invaded it, and organized a sham referendum. The title reads: “On March 16, we choose”…. Either a NAZI Crimea, on the left, “or “OR” (the 3 letters in between) Russian Crimea….

Putin, believing his own propaganda, as autocratic regimes always do, because they can’t be told any better, suddenly found himself facing not just Ukraine, but NATO and 50 democracies. Putin had thought that his propaganda and financing giant elite capture operations and pernicious media operations such as RT, Russia Today, would paralyze enough his adversaries for these massive weapon transfers not to happen.

Fortunately, the US and Europe had finally seen that Putin was Hitler, just worse, because Putin has 6,200 nukes. 

Invading Ukraine was a war crime, so is targeting and attacking pure civilian infrastructure (collateral damage is not a war crime, targeting civilian infrastructure either civil services or facilities, is a war crime). There is plenty of evidence of crimes against humanity committed by Putin’s Orcs (Orkhas is a term that was used a millenium before the Lord of The Rings, to qualify the horrendous Hungarian raiders into Europe, all the way to France…. said raids finished when the Hungarian army was annihilated by Otto I, Roman emperor, at the battle of Lechfeld, in 956 CE, over three days).

At least 7,343 children have been deported to Russia and another 236 are still missing since the start of its invasion of Ukraine on February 24, said Ukraine’s Office of the Ombudsman in September 2022. Russia has forcibly deported more than 1.6 million Ukrainians….

Russian troops have raped and tortured children in Ukraine, carried out a “large number” of executions and committed other war crimes, according to a United Nations investigation by legal experts.

Set up by the U.N. to probe the conduct of the war on both sides, the Independent International Commission of Inquiry reported its chilling findings in Geneva, describing a long list of abuses and atrocities. “Based on the evidence gathered by the commission, it has concluded that war crimes have been committed in Ukraine,” Erik Mose, the chairman of the three-member commission, told the U.N. Human Rights Council. War crimes, and plenty of them, thousands. Inquiries are pursued to find out the chain of command. One commander In Buch was found to have ordered war crimes in Izium, nearly 1,000 kilometers away. Was he himself under orders?

Putin’s officials are not even as smart as Hitler’s Nazis, Franco’s fascists or the Argentinian Junta: so used are Putin’s goons to commit crimes against humanity, that they have widely advertized their kidnapping and “adoptions” of Ukrainian children. That is one activity qualified of “GENOCIDE” by the United Nations [1].

I am totally against censorship of tumultuous thoughts. But censoring criminals against humanity and their agents is not censorship, it’s survival. The survival of humanity. Sometimes, to survive, one has to kill. Killing media access to Putin’s agents is only prudent.

At this point all we need is to destroy the enemies of humanity. Their propaganda is a distraction and itself a crime against reality. They should be blocked. In World War One, the erratic aristocrat Bertrand Russell was sent in prison for suggesting that Europe should be given to Germany, in the name of peace. Putting such a vile emitter out of the power of glowing with lies was an excellent decision. The nuclear Armageddon Putin threatened us all with is worse than the Kaiser’s worst… and we should act accordingly.

The USA should follow Europe in banning Putin’s right to speak… And Europe and the US should insist at the UN that the ban be enforced worldwide. Also, it took around ten days to expell Russia from the League of Nations when, allied with Hitler as the Kremlin was, it invaded Finland, in November 1939. Why is it taking so long to start a procedure to expell Russia?

As the Institute For the Study of War observed October 15, 2022: 

Russia continues to conduct massive, forced deportations of Ukrainians that likely amount to a deliberate ethnic cleansing campaign in addition to apparent violations of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin stated on October 14 that “several thousand” children from Kherson Oblast are “already in other regions of Russia, resting in rest homes and children’s camps.”[1] As ISW has previously reported, Russian authorities openly admitted to placing children from occupied areas of Ukraine up for adoption with Russian families in a manner that may constitute a violation of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.[2]

Russian authorities may additionally be engaged in a wider campaign of ethnic cleansing by depopulating Ukrainian territory through deportations and repopulating Ukrainian cities with imported Russian citizens. Ethnic cleansing has not in itself been specified as a crime under international law but has been defined by the United Nations Commission of Experts on violations of humanitarian law committed on the territory of the former Yugoslavia as “rendering an area ethnically homogeneous by using force or intimidation to remove persons of given groups from the area” and “a purposeful policy designed by one ethnic or religious group to remove by violent and terror-inspiring means the civilian population of another ethnic or religious group from certain geographic areas.”[3] According to the UN definition, ethnic cleansing may be carried out by forcible removal, among other methods.[4] These definitions of ethnic cleansing campaigns are consistent with reports of the forcible deportation and adoption of Ukrainian children, as well as reports by Ukrainian sources that reconstruction projects in Mariupol are intended to house “tens of thousands of Russians” who will move to Mariupol.[5]

Rothschild Told The Truth On Banks: Who Elected Them?

Banks Create Most Of The Money And Power: Who Elected Them?

Banks give money to those, and their projects, which they deem worthy. So doing they create worth, and make them the economic equivalent of god. It is an intrinsic inequality and injustice. The present president of France was a public inspector of finance for the French state, got elevated to multimillionaire investment banker by Banque Rothschild, then made minister of finance, and got to the presidency at age 39. 

All top bankers have enormous power. ~ Baron Nathan Mayer Rothschild

(1777-1836) London financier, one of the founders of the international Rothschild banking dynasty put it clearly: “I care not what puppet is placed on the throne of England to rule the Empire, …The man that controls Britain’s money supply controls the British Empire. And I control the money supply.”

(No wonder US president Jackson, when asked about his greatest achievement on his deathbed, replied, “I Killed the Bank.”). This inequity, the power of banks is not compatible with democracy. Yet nobody cares to address it, not even Marx [1]. 

There are other ways of financing: the fundamental research, health care, defense, social services, are the core of society, and are not financed by banks. Banks are backed by the government, so they are private enterprises…  financed by individuals such as Bernanke, empowered as the state.

The comment above, as it is, word for word, was censored by New York Times/Krugman, 12 October 2022.

***

[1] Marx talked plenty on “money” as “commodity”, and his discourses, going all the way back to Aristotle’s “form of value” are obscure and unenligtening. What Marx misses all together is that banks use tremendous leverage, backed up by the states. 

Now, wait a minute, some will bleat… Isn’t it true that the backing of banks by the central bank (US Fed) happened after 1933? Well, yes, with a short sighted view of history. Investors (around 5,000, forming a bank, backed the king, thus the Royal Navy around 1700… enabling the latter to grow enormously. Banks were financing Francois I of France (the Medicis from Florence, more exactly… Bankers who turned into the state)… German bankers were financing Charles V, his rival… In practice it meant those banks were back up by the armies of france and Spain, respectively. Much earlier, the entire financial system of the Republic of Florence (more than 3 centuries beofe the Medicis imposed their dictature) was created for and entangled with the Florentine army (which it financed). So banks and state, like army and state go hand in hand.

What I am saying is that there are other ways to finance, and all the important stuff is financed that way, directly from the state: not just NASA, but NIH, Medicare, EPA, the Army, etc. 

 

The world that Bernanke made, described in 2022 by the famous food charity OXFAM. Well worth a Nobel Prize!

2022 Nobel Prize In Economics Given To Banking Inequity, And Financial Catastrophes

To impose an evil notion, namely that the banking system is a just pillar of society, there is nothing like celebrating its greatest priest with the ultimate prize. That intuitively says that his religion, private oligarchic banking, backed up by the state, is the greatest. 

 

Thus, giving the 2022 Nobel Prize to the chief central banker, Ben Bernanke, is a propaganda trick: the establishment, and in particular the financial oligarchy, gives itself a pat in the back, an academic applause, the nobility of the Nobel. 

 

All the assertions celebrated in that particular prize, and presented as new, shattering discoveries, are trivial, and well known, since there are bankers and they lend. In the modern era, that’s at least as old as the republic of Florence, nine centuries ago... Bernanke discovered that banking has to do with trust? What a discovery! A Neanderthal lending to another, 300,000 years ago, knew this…

 

Now of course the Nobel prize had been given earlier to Milton Friedman for the exact opposite discourse, which was obviously wrong. But then Friedman was tied to the Reagan establishment. Now we are more into straight plutocracy, and banking has to be venerated as an instrument of social justice: no plutocrats have been injured during the making of this financial movie, two huge central banking crises in two decades. 

 

Bernanke banking is the culmination of humanity and morality! That Nobel celebration of central banking augmentation of obscene inequity of the last two decades must persuade the naive that these crises, in which most people have been irreversibly hurt, did not happen: was not a prize given to celebrate how they were, after all, avoided? So inequity was just an illusion? And certainly of little significance? This is what the Nobel folks want you to believe. No doubt they can be in turn feted, invited to plutocratic universities and wealthy think tanks, rub shoulders with billonaires…

New height of impudence as Economy Nobel was given to the guy who saved humanity from the fires he himself lit. What’s next? Giving the Peace Prize to Putin for Puting to eternal sleep hundreds of thousands of people?

Kremlin Versus Democracy: How It Started, Eight Centuries Ago

ARMAGEDDON CALCULUS: Kremlin’s Way For Being Is Subjugation. 

The war between Putin and democracy is a confrontation between the Novgorod-Kievan democratic mentality, which is 13 centuries old, when the Republic of Novgorod was created, and the Kremlin fascist anti-democratic spirit. This vicious mindset grew from a collaboration with the Mongols. That mentality was inaugurated by Alexander Nevsky himself, around 750 years ago…. And this is why the Ukrainians are demolishing statues of Alexander Nevsky. 

The Mongols annihilated Kyiv in 1240 CE: only the commander of the Kyivian army was not assassinated, because of his courage, which the Mongols loudly admired self-congratulating for their magnanimity. 

Muscovy emerged as a principality of Kyivian Rus. The Kipchak Tatar annihilation of Kyiv in December 1240 CE destroyed what held Kievan Rus together, turning the individual principalities of the former into vassal states of the Kipchak Tatar Khanate (the Khanate of the Golden Horde). In 1241 CE, in a winter campaign, the northern Mongol army defeated the Europeans in Poland. However the victorious Mongolian invasion of Hungary the following summer 1241 turned out to be too costly and a bad omen.

Then Alexander Nevsky, founding hero and saint of Kremlin Rus, went up to subjugate democratic Novgorod in the name of the Khan. His grandson, Ivan I “Money bag” was given the monopoly of tax collection over Rus by the Mongols. Soon enough, the now wealthy Kremlin beat the Mongols at their own game (in 1380 CE).

The Kremlin stifled internal dissent with stringent anti-insurrection laws under the pretext of wars against dangerous aliens: Lithuanians, Poles, Ukrainians, Cossacks, Tatars, countless Muslim contradictors, Siberians, Chinese… Century after century a bellicose, violent and paranoid mentality was created, and reproduced itself: outside war was how to enact ukases to terrify inside.

Zaphorizian Cossacks were tricked by the Kremlin in 1654 CE, and the rest of Ukraine was outright colonized under the Great Catherine II, bringing suppression of Ukrainian language and culture.

***

Putin, victim of his own propaganda, forgot the genius of Ukraine and the horrors the Kremlin visited on Ukraine in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Century (six million dead under the “holodomor” of 1932-33 inflicted by South Ossetian Stalin… Putin did allude to the horrors of the 19C…). All along Ukraine was, or tried to be, independent and Soviet defense depended a lot upon Ukrainian engineering. 

Now, this time, the Ukrainian state under assault from barbarity, finally got help from the West, which had been denied in 1240 CE, when the Mongols besieged Kyiv (although Anna of Kyiv had been ruling queen of France around 1050 CE, Europe had not declared a crusade against the Mongols, although the came around southern Russia since 1223 CE… Just the opposite: the Frankish commanders were allied to the Mongols… against the Muslims!).

Putin was propped up by Western plutocracy, its hydrocarbon lobby, and corrupt finance, which were and are happy to have Russian oligarchs exploit Russia for them. Hitler, Mussolini, Hirohito, Franco and Stalin found themselves in the same comfortable position. However Hitler and Mussolini, full of hubris, forgot how powerful their true masters were. Hirohito took the first off ramp he saw: Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 

Putin is now discovering where power lies:   

Power lies in plutocracy pretending to be democratic, not in outright tyrannic plutocracy.

Appeasing Hitler couldn’t work. Because Hitler like the better Kremlin tyrants, depended upon war, or the perspective thereof, to impose terror at home. And Hitler, like the better Kremlin tyrant, needed terror to survive at home, because Hitler, like the better Kremlin tyrants, had committed so many crimes, against his own people. 

***

Only nuclear weapons can save Putin, as I pointed out, dutifully informing our so-called “leaders”..

Putin would have to use many nukes on the battlefield, up to ten to neutralize a 5,000 soldiers brigade concentrated for attack (according to specialists). The opprobrium will be universal, even India and China would have to denounce him. Thus Putin would have little time to make tactical nuclear nukes strategy work. 

So then why not a nuclear decapitation strike? That’s what I suggested Putin is tempted to do, and I informed a number of politicians, including Biden, Macron, and Zelinsky. 

NATO would have no ready response, if that is not what it expects. So I advised Biden to advertise the Armageddon notion.

This policy is not what the think tanks expected, and I am glad Biden followed the suggestion.

Here is some of Nevsky’s prose:

July 1240

Earlier in the month of June, the disdainful Swedish force landed on the banks of Neva.   They had scores of armed men.  They were supported by the menacing Germans and devilish Danes.  The Catholic Pope had clearly orchestrated the whole endeavor.

The army, led by a prince and bishops, intended to conquer all of Suzdalia and then forcibly oppress all who practiced Orthodoxy to submit to Catholicism.  Blasphemy! 

On the 15th day of that same month, my forces attacked those of the heretical Swedes.  And there fell a great multitude of the Nemtsty and of the Chud men, a countless number, while only 20 of my forces fell (The Chronicle of Novgorod, 104, 105).   On that day God was on our side.  With the help of God and St. Sophia and the Holy Martyrs Boris and Gleb, I succeeded in the Orthodox faith’s fight against Catholic aggression. 

[Hence his name… Nevsky… of the Neva… What Nevsky does not say is that he was doing the Khan’s dirty work, by fighting Europeans while the Mongols had been invading since 1223 CE… The siege of Kiev by the Mongols took place between November 28 and December 6, 1240, and Kyiv was annihilated. It was a heavy morale and military blow to Halych-Volhynia and Europe. It allowed Batu Khan and his tumens to proceed westward into Europe. Poland was next, then Hungary where a European coalition was defeated… but only after inflicting heavy losses to the crack Mongol army, with its portable bridges and regiments of rocket launchers. The Mongols feared the Franks, they said and thus turned around in Croatia, thanks to the pretext of Genghis’ death.]

More Nevsky: 

1246 CE:

My father Knyaz Yaroslav Vsevolodits died in the Horde of the Khan.  I thus made my first voyage to the Tatars.      

I brought the khan many fine gifts including large barrels of honey, mead, fine furs, and various glass objects such as bracelets, beads and goblets.  My brother Andrew acted impertinently toward khan Baty.  I assuaged all of the khan’s concerns by providing our agreed upon tribute with an additional tribute from Vladimir and Kiev.  I was crowned the Grand Prince of all of Kiev.    

*** 

1252 CE:

In the second month of the year 1252, I returned to the Golden Horde.  The khan was far from satisfied with my brother Andrey’s contributions.  Nevryuy had sent an expedition against him. 

The Tatars expressed their gratitude for my consistent tributes.  They desired the tamga (chronicles of Novgorod, 93, customs-tax), on Vladimir.  Although cognizant of the agitation it would cause within my people, I realized it was the only way to protect Orthodoxy.  I was then crowned the Grand Prince of Vladimir with seniority over all of my brothers. 

In that same year, I returned to Vladimir where I was “met at the Golden Gates by the metropolitan and all the abbots and the citizens” (Fennel, 108).  I was placed upon the throne of my father Yaroslav and “there was great joy in the town of Vladimir and in all of the land of Suzdalia” as peace was finally established in our beautiful lands (Fennel, 108).

 [PA: The Great Khan made Andrey grand prince of Vladimir and Alexander prince of Kiev. When Andrey conspired against the Mongol overlords with other Russian princes and western European nations, Alexander went to Saray on the Volga and denounced his brother to Sartak, Batu’s son, who sent an army to depose Andrew and installed Alexander as grand prince. Henceforth, for over a century, no northeastern Russian prince challenged the Mongol occupation.]

***

1260 CE:

Metropolitan Kyrill arrived in Vladimir last week for the third time this year.  The ever so gracious and pious metropolitan has decided to assume residence in Vladimir at the Church of the Dormition rather than in the metropolitan of Kiev.   

Today we discussed the possibility of establishing a bishopric in Saray, the capital of the Golden Horde.  In this way, we may help save the souls of the heretical Tatars by bringing God there. 

***

Nevsky was a 100% collaborator of the Golden Horde… the fact that Nevsky is a saint of the Russian Orthodox Church means that collaboration with infamy was sanctified. Infamy? Well the Mongols annihilated several Russian cities, including Kyiv… 

With a church like that… One ends up with a head of said church who wants war with Ukraine, named, Kyrill. Kyrill signed recently an important document fostering war, but the photograph had to be electronically modified to hide the $50,000 dollar watch he was wearing…

Plutocracy is a world problem, and the present Russian oligarchic order was both created from NATO influence, and, reciprocally, permeated NATO in return. This is beyond Putin: besides the allegations against Biden’s son, and the financing of Le Pen in France, clearly Obama is on the obvious record with statements and policies grotesquely favoring Putin… better: the entire economic world order made the tyrannical regime in the Kremlin an essential cog, draining Russia of its substantific marrow… The hard work of its people.

The penetration of Russian oligarchy and thus Kremlin-Nevshy mentality in European economy and finance has been astounding. The collaboration of the West with Putin and Xi is reminscent  of that of nevsky with the Khans… Yes… But with fewer excuses: Nevsky, one can argue, acted out of necessity and weakness. Whereas clearly the cooperation of Western plutocracy with the Khans has been out of greed, strength, and failproof propaganda persuading the democraices that, whatever they, their media and obsequious politicians do, it’s always for the best in the best possible world… 

Patrice Ayme

Notice the inexistence of Moscow. At the time of the map, Anna, Princess of Kyiv, was ruling queen of France. She spoke six languages and found the Franks gross and culturally primitive. Ukraine actually was partially conquered by Kievan Rus’ whose prince Vladimir was baptized at Sevastopol starting the Christianization of Kievan Rus’. An arrangement was made between Vladimir and Basil II, Roman emperor in Constantinople: Vladimir subdued a rebellion in Crimea, Christianized Rus, and in exchange married Anna, sister of Basil II… At least in Arab versions of this history.
