Real analysis of what's going on in the world

Volgende week meer hierover. Ben in gespannen afwachting.

@ALSpeyerbach LinkedIn wordt ook wel OnlyFans voor middle management genoemd

Vraagje aan mijn HR-vrienden: Hoe belangrijk is het hebben van een LinkedIn-profiel voor het krijgen van een baan? Voor mij staat het aanmaken van een LinkedIn-profiel gevoelsmatig maar een halve trede hoger dan het aanmaken van een OnlyFans, dus net als daadwerkelijke prostitutie ben ik er alleen toe bereid als het absoluut noodzakelijk is. :)

@ton_aarts Dat is natuurlijk onjuist. Maar het is wel zo - net als met griep - dat het niet zo zeer 'levens redden' is, maar 'een jaartje eerder dood'.

1/ "Volgens Zwagerman was Corona levensverlengend. Redenatie is als volgt: gemiddelde leeftijd dat mensen overlijden is 81. Gemiddelde leeftijd van overlijden als gevolg van Corona 84. Conclusie: Corona is goed. Onnavolgbaar" (Laurens Verhagen: ook al van Twitter)

Ban Ki-moon, then secretary-general of the United Nations, commented on how, in his visits to some of the most forgotten areas of the world, there was a common factor: the presence of Cuban doctors. “They are always the first to arrive and the last to leave.”

@mideastXmidwest What's up with Kenya, Nigeria and Ghana???

Pew: Across the 36 countries, a median of 67% of adults have an unfavorable view of Israel

@Tarek_Bae US supplies 66% of arms imported to Israel Germany 33% That's why.

Kurz zur Einordnung: Dass Deutschland bei der Wahl für den Sitz im UN-Sicherheitsrat abgestraft wurde, Österreich aber nicht, obwohl Österreich ein ähnlich ignorantes Abstimmungverhältnis wie Deutschland bezüglich Israel hatte, ist vor allem auf eines zurückzuführen: Österreich ist ein vergleichsweise kleines Land, ohnehin kein diplomatisches Schwergewicht. Deutschland hingegen, traditionell, schon. Deutschland stimmte nicht bloß einfach nur fragwürdig ab, Deutschland blockiert (bis heute) maßgeblich EU-Sanktionen gegen Israel. Deutschland baut laut diversen Diplomaten in der UN im Hintergrund Druck auf, pro-israelisch zu sein. Deutschland hat zeitweise seine Förderung des UN-Hilfswerks für Palästinenser, UNRWA, eingestellt, Deutschland baute (erfolglos) Druck auf den Internationalen Strafgerichtshof auf, keine Haftbefehle gegen Israels Führung zu erlassen, und Deutschland kündigte (mittlerweile klammheimlich) zurückgezogen an, auf Seiten Israels in den Genozid-Prozess vor dem Internationalen Gerichtshof einzusteigen. Österreich ist nur Österreich. Deutschland aber ist neben den USA das Sinnbild der Unterstützung des israelischen Kampfes gegen das Völkerrecht. Deutschland abzustrafen ist symbolisch.

@PhDniX Fascinating: I did not know this!

@Cebes_ Not very far. Our earliest manuscripts, contrary to popular myth, in fact have a *lot* of consonantal dotting. It's later manuscripts that have fewer dots. That's not to say that it's impossible that here or there a better reading might not be achieved by some redotting...

Of course, I would be the first to point out that the quran is chock full of Aramaic religious vocabulary. But hey, why read something, if you can just assume bad faith motives right?

A nationwide general strike was organized in more than 75 cities across Italy, demanding a complete boycott of Israel and the severance of all ties.

@maanvis81 @Movisie Nederland, open inrichting. Wel gezellig!

Wat vinden jullie van deze video van @Movisie , waarin 2 ouders van een jongetje dat denkt dat ie een meisje is vertellen?

@Manatea77167522 @amazighishbalan @ForgottenV1918 Yes of course! I’m just saying women have work to do too. Not to “shift” the blame! But to get at solutions to root causes. Prevention Eg, it is women (not men) who disproportionately search for rape porn. Something is wrong there too I think male and female problem is related

@Cebes_ @amazighishbalan @ForgottenV1918 hmmm. ok, you do have something. Nevertheless, it remains that they control so little themselves that... you know "la suite". So men from all cultures & races should REALLY start to look hard at themselves, how they still behave after millions years, & CHANGE...

This is the book that is impossible to find, the one you will never hear about in school, the suppressed history they prefer stays buried: Edward J. Bristow’s Prostitution and Prejudice: The Jewish Fight Against White Slavery, 1870–1939. It is the meticulously documented, stomach-churning exposé of how Jewish criminal syndicates especially the infamous Zwi Migdal built a vast international empire of sexual slavery that preyed on poor, desperate young women and teenage girls from Eastern Europe. The girls (and young women) in Bristow’s Prostitution and Prejudice were overwhelmingly teenagers and very young women typically between 12-15 years old…oldest being 22 years old. The “Meat Markets” Naked Auctions Upon Arrival Newly arrived girls were ordered to strip completely naked in places like the Hotel Palestina or Café Parisienne in Buenos Aires. They were then paraded, inspected, groped, and auctioned off like livestock to pimps and brothel owners. This “meat market” turned human beings into commodities right after the hellish voyage. The largest brothels housed 60–80 women each, with the Zwi Migdal ultimately controlling around 2,000 such hellholes and roughly 4,000 women in Argentina alone at its peak. Rape and “Breaking In” Starting on the Ships The abuse often began the moment the girls were at sea. Many were raped repeatedly during the transatlantic crossing by the very men who had lured them (or their accomplices). Young virgins were especially targeted“broken in” through repeated rape, beatings, and starvation to destroy any will to resist before they even reached South America. Fake Marriages and Total Betrayal by Their Own People Pimps used the “shtille chupah” a secret religious wedding ceremony with no legal validity to trick girls into thinking they were married and heading to a better life. Once in Argentina, the “husband” revealed himself as a pimp, abandoned the legal protections of marriage, and sold or forced the woman into prostitution. The criminals even maintained their own synagogue and burial society while running this rape empire. Brothel Slavery: Dozens of Men a Night, Beatings, and Perpetual Debt Inside the brothels (many on Junín Street in the Jewish quarter), women were locked in and forced to service 20–60+ clients per day/night. Refusal, low earnings, or resistance meant savage beatings, heavy fines, or transfer to even worse rural whorehouses. They lived in crushing debt bondage owing inflated sums for the voyage, clothes, room, and “protection” that could never be repaid. Every transaction was logged like a business. Prostitutes who failed to please clients were routinely beaten, starved, or punished. Physical and Psychological Destruction Bodies were ravaged by rampant venereal diseases (syphilis and gonorrhea causing disfigurement, madness, infertility, and death). Forced abortions, exhaustion, and injuries from violent clients were common. Psychologically, the control was total: isolation from family, constant threats of violence against relatives back home, surveillance, and brainwashing to prevent escape or testimony. Many died by suicide or were hunted down and beaten if they tried to flee. The International Scope and Sales to Harems The trade wasn’t limited to Buenos Aires. Girls were trafficked to Brazil, New York, South Africa, India, Constantinople (where Jews reportedly ran most brothels at one point), and even sold into harems in the Middle East and Africa. The 1892 L’viv (Lwów) trial in Galicia prosecuted Jewish traffickers(men and women)for systematically exporting the girls(estimates up to thousands annually) These are not fictional exaggerations. Bristow’s book compiles them from primary sources: police files, trial transcripts (including Raquel Liberman’s), contemporary reports, organizational records, and survivor testimonies. The scale tens of thousands of young girls and teenagers enslaved by a Jewish criminal syndicate that operated for decades.

@PhDniX I understand, okay. But in your study of the Quran’s language, how far did you allow yourself to go in completely rearranging the diacritics? That’s what I’m missing, other effort to see if it is possible to arrive at an Aramaic-influenced grammar (Aramaic hybrid with Hijazi).

@Cebes_ Correct! Which is, of course, not in the slightest bit a view unique to Luxenberg. The presence of Aramaic loanwords in the Quran has been recognized since medieval times.

@Manatea77167522 @amazighishbalan @ForgottenV1918 The Preface here gives a good summary of what I'm trying to say. anarchyisorder.org/onewebmedia/Re…

@Manatea77167522 @amazighishbalan @ForgottenV1918 It is NOT a primary human (male) need to rape. The primary need is for love. Trauma, repressions - everything Freud labels 'the unconscious' - prevent us from being able to give expression to our primary needs. Frustrated, we have to FORCE through our defences, with sadism, etc.

@Manatea77167522 @amazighishbalan @ForgottenV1918 Both genders need to get closer to and act on what feels right (instead of mentally obeying a cultural norm). And both need to learn to interact with the other gender/partner with kindness, instead of through power dynamics and emotional games. See eg 'Nonviolent Communication'

@Manatea77167522 @amazighishbalan @ForgottenV1918 It's a bit more complicated. On the one hand female sexuality has very long been and still is suppressed. On the other hand male sexual 'achievement' is celebrated. This is not just something that men do but are cultural norms also e.g. transferred from mothers to daughters.
