The Over-Empathy Mental Disease

Finland is without electricity, and people are burning firewood in mid of their cruel winter. Out of the belief that they had to save Earth, they based their electricity production on renewable systems, like wind and sunshine.  Winters are terrible in Finland, and the blades froze (pic), leaving the country powerless. Germany too chose wind power, which resulted unreliable and expensive. 

All the sustainable energy ideology is based on some kind of empathy with the Earth goddess, which is being hurt by artificial power generation like nuclear, oil, and coal. It seems a sick desire to be good and in harmony with the universe. But the universe is indifferent. It is an unfeeling mechanism. No prayers or human sacrifices will move it. Honi HaMeagel may sit forever in his circle in the sand to force god to send rain, but the universe is indifferent.

Comparsa Ita Bera

 

The village of Alvear has grown since I worked there. Now they have a full-fledged Carnaval with comparsas (companies) of street dancers.  She is from the Ita Bera (piedra brillante in guarani) comparsa. Streets are asphalted, there are lots of cars and bikes, and a new generation I've never met. I chose this pic not because of the fantastic carnival dress, but because the girl lacks canines, a mutation I share. I have no idea how she could. 

Alvear is 103 years old and celebrates its history day. The pictures of its carnival show a strong Brazilian influence. 70-80 years ago, there was even a Jewish community, mostly Moroccan Jews, but now there is only a Jewish cemetery (that I never visited).

Cartographie scientifique

Quand la France invente la cartographie scientifique par triangulation et que Louis XIV découvre que son royaume est plus petit que ce qu'on a montré à ses aïeux pendant des siècles : "Carte de France corrigée sur les observations des messieurs de l'académie des Sciences" (1682) 

France was ahead.

Pancho Cue Forest

I bought the seeds from an importer, a Buenos Aires Jew, and organized the almacigos (seed nursery) on my farm. I moved on without waiting for the results. The seeds forested Northern Corrientes.

Oro y Mujeres!

 

When the Spaniards arrived in Peru, they had only two demands from the Inca: Oro y Mujeres. Gold and Women. 

They got more than they requested from both. The gold they took back to Europe to pay for wars, and the silver they shipped to China to buy silk and porcelain. The women and their children were left in Peru, and they are still there.

The hunger for gold has only increased since then. It is trading today 5% higher than yesterday. People are selling bitcoin (especially those linked to paper currency) and buying gold and silver. The dollar is weakening and losing credibility, while gold is shining like always.  Oro, I have none. Mujeres, I have no use for them. Sad, isn't it?

The Ill-fated French Revolution


The French Revolution paved the way for today's woke ideology. All human beings are equal and brothers. Freedom! The thing ruined France; there are fewer Frenchmen today than in 1779, and they are immersed in a frightful inundation of Africans and Arabs.  The pox spread to England, and two centuries later, the Empire's civilizing enterprise is considered a great shame.

It rapidly led to the dissolution of the robust  Jewish communities that had emerged from the dark Middle Ages, making it impossible to continue the effective survival strategies of solidarity and negotiation with the peoples and rulers around them. In pre-Revolution France, the Alsace Jews were oppressed yet rich and growing, and the Portuguese Jewish refugees had normalized their status and become very rich with tropical merchandise. After the "liberation", the ghettos and communities of Europe were dissolved, and the Jews achieved equal rights and assimilated. Nothing remains from the "old" European Jews, and the current population is newcomers from Eastern Europe and North Africa.  If the French Revolution had been suffocated, there would be around 200 million French people today, and about 25 million European Jews (instead of half a million).

Large Concentration of Assets

 

America is concentrating an immense number of carrier strike groups, warplanes, refueling airplanes, and whatnot. I think there has never been such a military force in the Middle East theater. 

President Trump is negotiating with the Ayatollah's regime, and this force is his card. On the other hand, the very concentration of forces irradiates a menace on every other player in the Middle East, including, I fear, Israel too. You don't play with Trump. 

The pic is my daughter and Ivry. Birthday.

At the Brink of Wars


It's now happening. The existing fiat monetary order, the domestic political order, and the international geopolitical order are all breaking down, so we are at the brink of wars. It all is happening because of the Big Cycle that is driven by the five big forces" (sic) as described by Roy Dalio. I bought his book, with many case studies, studied them, but I didn't think I could use them.

23-1-26

 
A day when I did absolutely nothing.

Donald, Es Reicht!

Donald, It is Enough! Knock it off! The Germans are afraid. Instead of the generous American uncle protecting them, they find themselves divided and unprepared for the real world.

The post-WWII era has ended. Cruel destiny is sending on them - on all of us - a prolonged conflictive era.  Like the 25 years Pelopponesian War. 

                        that's the last straw!

'Well, well, well...

 
Several studies have shown that, on average, leftists suffer more mental illness.

According to data from 29 European countries, the same is true for physical health: The more right-wing you are, the healthier you are.

Winter Reflexions

 It is cold, about 9 degrees Celsius, and my wife opposes air conditioning because we have a 5 HP conditioner for the whole apartment, while normally we only use one room. My skin is transparent like wax paper, and my veins are visible. 

Musk says that intelligence will have little advantage in the future, and it will be measured in Joules. Fortunately, I'll not be there to see. 

BTW, A joule (J) is the standard SI unit of energy, work, or heat, defined as the energy. Joule was a self-educated British physicist who established the concept of energy:

1 Joule [J] = 1 Watt-second [Ws] = 1 V A s = 1 N m = 1 kg m2s−2.

Joule was the first to measure energy and demonstrated that it can be transferred, but it is always conserved. 

I watched Rabbi Menachem Goldberg, and "he" is very convincing. It is an AI-made reel, obvious to any Jew because of the unreal synagogue background. It is publicity for a self-help book or something. 

Bart Ehrman's lecture on understanding the Bible is excellent. Well structured. It makes one reflect on how very smart Jews spend their whole life studying this complicated nonsense and following absurd laws that are not even in the book. And they say they believe every word of it. Believing makes it easier to live.

Peak Readiness in Israel


“We are operating at peak readiness for a wide range of scenarios."

According to the IDF Spokesman, readiness has been reinforced across all fronts. “In recent weeks, we have strengthened capabilities and increased readiness along all borders." 

We can see it in the streets. People are looking to Trump to decide on Ayatollah Ali.

Zalaegerszeg

 

My family escaped from Hungary during the winter of 1956. We took a train to a frontier town, Zalaegerszeg, and at midnight we walked to the Austrian side. It was dangerous. In Kaisersteinbrück, we were received by Austrians with hot chocolate, the first time in my life.  

This week, after 80-something years, local Jews re-established the community and received a Torah Scroll from the Budapest community.

El Auja Beduins Moving Out












The Ras El Auja Beduin encampment is being vacated. El Auja (the meandering) is an important wadi (creek) in Eastern Samaria, the dry side of the Samarian hills. It had been occupied by nomadic Bedouins, who were primarily based on sheep and goat herding. After two or three years of peaceful pressure (and discrete payments), they are vacating the land. The strategy was to outcompete the nomads by herding animals that pastured on the same miserable grass. Courageous boys on mules kept these herds till the nomads decided to pack and move to greener pastures.
