“Feeding on the carrion of a Dead Culture” – – When double checking on the English version of below Entry 71 of Minima Moralia by Adorno, 1945, I found the English version quoted about a bit over a decade ago on a site with above title and subtitle, which can be found telling in it’s own right…..: Pseudomenos [Greek: liar].

‘Fundsache’/’Wegmarken’/’Guidepost’
Adorno, Minima Moralia, 43, Surhkamp Frankfurt, 1951 – English below Wenn etwas die Verrantheit der sog. ‘Objektiven Fakten’ – Dogmatiker oder ‘Mainstream Fassadenbauer’ kurz gesagt punktuiert, dann dieser Text – geschrieben im letzten Jahr des 2. Weltkriegs….(F.N.): Bangemachen gilt nicht. – Was objektiv die Wahrheit sei, bleibt schwer genugauszumachen, aber im Umgang mit Menschen soll man davon nicht sich terrorisierenlassen. Es gibt da Kriterien, die fürs erste ausreichen. Eines der zuverlässigsten ist,daß einem entgegengehalten wird, eine Aussage sei »zu subjektiv«. Wird das geltendgemacht und gar mit jener Indignation, in der die wütende Harmonie allervernünftigen Leute mitklingt, so hat man Grund, Read More
Indisputably Disputable Evidence….
Alting von Geusau on Hannah Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism,1948. ….Not since the end of the Second World War have so many renowned and acclaimed academics, scientists and medical doctors, including Nobel Prize recipients and nominees, been silenced, deplatformed and fired from their positions only because they do not support the official or ‘correct’ line. They simply desire for a robust public discourse on the question of how best to deal with the issue at hand and thus engage in a common search for truth. This is the point where we know from history that the ideology of the day Read More

Scotland – Let the Figures Speak
During a hypnosis the medium is unaware of what is commonly called the real world. Facts and figures are not perceived, ignored or oppressed…. Scotland, no less in the hypnosis of fear than its neighboring countries, nonetheless has at least the figures prepared. Please follow the Scotland Public Health link and check for yourself on page 42, statistics for the month as of December 4th, 2021: https://publichealthscotland.scot/media/11089/22-01-12-covid19-winter_publication_report.pdf The trend shown persists at least since November 17th demonstrated in the same report as of Dec. 20th.

Edwar Snowden’s Christmas Letter ’21
…….the US government has just sought to redefine as acts of heinous criminal conspiracy. Two-hearted, two-minded creatures: the media is full of them. And too many have been content to accept the US government’s determination that what should properly be the highest purpose of the media — the uncovering of truth, in the face of attempts to hide it — is suddenly in doubt and quite possibly illegal. That chill in the air this Christmas season? If Assange’s prosecution is allowed to continue, it will become a freeze. Bundle up. https://www.rsn.org/001/everything-going-great-bad-faith-worse-news-and-julian-assange.html Edward Snowden – Everything Going Great: Bad Faith, Worse Read More

Julian Assange: shame shame shame
Assange, at tremendous personal cost, warned us. He gave us the truth. The ruling class is crucifying him for this truth. With his crucifixion, the dim lights of our democracy go dark.

“…. Is it still possible by any means to save them….?”
George Gurdjeff, Belzebub’s Tales to His Grandson Gurdjeff’s Belzebub certainly counts among the most arcane fiction ever put on paper. And that not only because the Belzebub, commonly identified with the devil, appears as the most benevolent character in the history of mankind. The 1000-something pages oeuvre in which Belzebub tells his adventures on earth to his grandson Hassein while they are cruising space from Mars to Jupiter gives a rather damning account of human behavior through the ages and makes quite a mockery of sapiens, especially in modern times. The grandson, who takes a compassionate interest into the fate Read More
