Ebrius Disputatios

They did it to him last time, right around February, in the year 2020. He obediently followed through and was set up to lose that year's election bid. He may not be a fool, but he may be especially obedient to his Zionist masters, among others. We'll see if he falls for it. Many Trump supporters, present company included, gave him a pass during the first lock downs. That's how much we naively believed. Not anymore. This time we want intelligent, critical thinking and we want to see leadership and strength.

The globalists are the same people who wish to disarm us and take away our means of self defense. They are relentless and they are like the mythical hydra, growing two heads as soon as one was cut off. People like that will not stop until they are defeated decisively. It is entirely conceivable, that our enemies, the enemies of freedom that infest the edifices in Washington DC, Brussels, London and elsewhere are capable of dusting off their battered playbook and reintroduce failed plays, in the hopes that they'll succeed this time around. We must remain on guard.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found mutations in samples taken from a man infected with the first severe case of avian influenza in the United States, mutations that were not present in specimens collected from his infected backyard flock.

The same entity which charged a man who shot a CEO with terrorism while letting other criminals who kill people walk or do light sentences, is the very same one that is fine with terrorists sinking cargo ships on their behalf, or targeting aircraft filled with civilians. Indeed, that same entity outfits entire armies with weapons that have reportedly, this year alone, killed fifty five (55), journalist. Not a peep from them about those incidents. The hypocrisy is rife. Why should any of us constrain our behaviors?

When You’re Losing A War, Try Terrorism — The Ukrainian Gambit.

Terrorism — i.e., the use of violence on civilians and civilian targets for a political purpose — is an act of weakness, not strength. A couple of incidents — the crash of an Azerbaijani airplane in Aktau, Kazakhstan, and the sinking of the Oboronlogistica, a Russian state-controlled company that operated the Ursa Major freighter, in the Mediterranean Sea between Spain and Algeria — are characterized as terrorist attacks. Maybe.

Who could blame the Russians? The Russians have tried going along to get along with the west and all that got them were sanctions and terrorism. The Russians simply wish for the left to stop encroaching on their borders and just frankly, to fuck off while they're at it.

The west seems to need the Russians much more than the Russians need them. It would seem that the west, especially the US, aren't good at reading hints. This isn't ending anytime soon as long as the fools lead the alleged western democracies. Indeed, it shouldn't either. Since we all know that brute force is the master of this world, then the only way this bullshit stops, is if somebody loses big in a war. Some people won't stop provoking until bones and skin, get broken.

Reaching a truce in the Ukrainian conflict is a path to nowhere, and Russia will not be satisfied with idle talks about settlement, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday.

Most analyses blame the weakness of the German economy on higher energy costs and the Chinese slowdown affecting its exports. However, Germany's real problem is the EU along with the puppet strings from Washington, DC.

Gordon Chang's views on China are to be considered his own. Each man has rights to his opinions. We have listened to many hours of Chang's strategies on how the US and the west should deal with China. We have heard him proclaim China as a threat and danger to them both. I believed him once, but no more. Chang's views on China and geopolitical affairs are the very same as John Bolton, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, just to name a few.

We are finished with listening to men such as these, for these men judge unfairly. They never complain about the dangers of Israel's destabilization of western Asia. They only focus on the nations who do not bend to the will of the western hegemony whenever it snaps its metaphorical fingers. Thus making nations such as China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and whomever else dares to defy the Gods, enemies and threats to be dealt with.

However, don't take our words at face value. Chang is quite the prolific writer and speaker. In today's information age, it is indeed, possible to read his works, hear is views, in audio and visual media to make judgement as to the validity of his claims. Here is one of his latest writings, attached and embedded in this post.

Finally, in his article, Chang speaks about China seeking to be the next global hegemonic power, and Xi Jingping has ambitions of leaving his mark in the history books as the Chinese emperors before him presumably aspired to. Which seems highly speculative. He also speaks about Xi wanting to manipulate Trump to abandon US global leadership. The question we'd like to ask, is when has the US demonstrated any legitimate, genuine global leadership?

If Chang's idea of global leadership includes destabilizing nations who share differing opinions about their national interests, the assassination of key political opponents of other countries for non compliance or to make war with nations whose leaders who do not relent then that kind of leadership is harmful, dangerous and isolates the US as a bully, pariah nation. Indeed, the US has been so successful with these tactics, that the establishment politicians, judges, prosecutors and law enforcement agencies in many jurisdictions, have begun to employ them domestically in dealing with their political opponents.

Trying to reach a grand bargain with China — what Trump was hinting at — would be exactly the wrong approach at this or any other moment. Trump has already tried to reach an accommodation with China: his Phase One Trade pact of January 2020. He calls it “the best trade deal” ever, but it is now widely viewed as a bust. The Chinese, during an election year in America, never honored its terms. Chinese President Xi Jinping's actions are the inevitable result of China's communist political system, which idealizes violence, struggle, and dominance. This system means there can be no accommodation with the Communist Party.

How unfortunate we all know just how honorable the Jewish occupational forces are in respect to human lives. They have obviously been having a spate of bad luck with all those journalists, always getting in their way. Surely, Hamas had to be using all 55 of them, as human shields.

We can all understand that. We ourselves, would have no complaints, if the journalists in question, were from the BBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS or Fox. It's totally understandable. Why, how else are the Israeli Occupying Forces, going to get away with murdering women or children? After all, who in the world, is going to hold them accountable?

An International Federation of Journalists survey released earlier this month estimated that at least 55 journalists were killed in Gaza this year alone, more than half of the global total of 104. According to the tally from the Committee to Protect Journalists, a US-based non-profit, at least 141 journalists have been killed in the region since the war broke out in October last year.

What would you do if a great cataclysm brought a sudden end to our society and you were forced to survive on what you currently have on hand? When I was growing up, very few people thought of such things. In fact, I never heard the words “prepper” or “prepping” until I became an adult.

Poverty is increasing in Italy and there are more and more protests that we hear almost nothing about in Germany.

from Anti-Spiegel December 26, 2024

German media are very reluctant to report on social problems and unrest in Western countries because they want to give the impression that the West is still a haven of prosperity and social protection, which is no longer the case when compared to once backward countries. The yellow vests in France are an example that many people will still remember, because at that time the reporting in Germany about the massive, nationwide protests in France that lasted for months was very sparse compared to the scale of the protests.

Anyone who disputes this should ask themselves how the German media would have reported if, not in France, but in Russia, hundreds of thousands had protested every weekend for months against the government's economic and social policy and rising poverty. Even protests in Russia are worth long articles for Spiegel when “a few dozen” (quote from Spiegel) participants are protesting there.

The Italian correspondent for the Russian news agency TASS has written an article about the economic, social and political situation in Italy, which I think is very interesting because it shows how little German media reports on social and economic problems, even when they affect a country that many Germans know well.

Or have you heard in the German media that, according to Save The Children, 200,000 children under the age of five are malnourished and living in “food poverty” in Italy?

Italy in the invisible fire: What the Meloni government is hiding. about the country's problems that people try not to notice.

Italy is sinking into a series of endless strikes.

Protest actions are announced by workers in very different sectors. The strikes in local transport have already become almost permanent. There are also problems on the state railway, where trains have almost not been running as scheduled since the summer due to repair work. Medical staff are also on strike because, in addition to the constant cuts in healthcare funding, hospital medical staff (until recently hailed as heroes for their efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic) are increasingly being beaten by violent patients. Workers generally reject the government's budget proposal. This in itself is nothing new, but now there are a number of serious demands and complaints, including dissatisfaction with the increase in military spending.

The majority of Italians are against arms deliveries to Ukraine; recent polls show that only 13 percent believe that deliveries should continue. The unions openly propagate the slogan: “All you have to do is give money for weapons and armaments and raise wages.” There is increasing talk of the “working poor,” meaning that even people with jobs do not have an adequate standard of living while social benefits are constantly being cut.

Added to this are the almost weekly pro-Palestine marches and demonstrations and student unrest, which often lead to clashes with the police, followed by mutual accusations.

All these conditions are creating a situation of acute social tension and confrontation in Italy that has not been seen for a long time.

However, Meloni praises herself.

It was basically predictable when the center-right coalition led by Giorgia Meloni came to power. She and her “Brothers of Italy” party are not accepted by a large part of Italian society and many see them as the successors of fascism. As a result, the government is increasingly accused of trying to restrict the right to freedom, including freedom of speech. Elements of censorship and dictatorship are increasingly being seen. In my opinion, however, the latter is generally characteristic of the democracy of the so-called collective West, both on the right and on the left.

Nevertheless, the Italian government is trying, as usual, to turn good fortune into evil. In particular, Meloni boasts of her recognition on the international stage, that is, the stage of strict subordination to the North Atlantic axis. In her own country she is increasingly accused of vassalism. It is noteworthy that she has already received the support of Donald Trump after managing to endear herself to Democrat Joe Biden. It gained recognition in Washington and Brussels by fulfilling demands that Meloni himself once spoke out against in order to protect national sovereignty.

Household from crumbs.

The same applies to the 2025 state budget, which fits into the framework set by the EU but does not take the interests of the people in the country into account.

The problem is that the budget had to be tailored somehow from what little was available, which the government openly admits. The forecasts for economic growth to decline and are approaching zero, and industrial production is declining. Last but not least, the price increase plays a role because energy costs are rising following a significant decline in Russian gas exports. After the unprecedented price increase in August 2022, prices have fallen, but are still two to three times higher than in 2021. And they are unable to completely abandon Russian gas. According to recent data, imports of Russian gas almost doubled from January to August 2024, from 5.5 to 9.7 percent of total demand. However, 40 percent of this was previously covered by deliveries from Russia.

Despite citizens' dissatisfaction, the budget, which is in the final stages of revision and is due to be adopted before the new year, envisages a reallocation of significant resources to defense. Italy is desperately trying to reach the two percent of GDP threshold for military spending that NATO promised a few years ago. So far the country is at 1.57 percent, and it will obviously not be possible to significantly increase this spending before 2028.

Decline in key sectors.

In addition to the education and healthcare sectors, important industrial sectors such as the steel and automotive sectors are particularly affected. The crisis of the former Italian manufacturer Stellantis – what had become the original Italian Fiat after several mergers, including with the American Chrysler – is telling. After enormous losses, sales in Italy fell by more than 40 percent, CEO Carlos Tavares resigned. The car manufacturer, which has always been privately owned (owned by one of the most prominent industrial families, the Agnelli), has benefited from extensive government subsidies and financial injections. Thanks to these subsidies, production is maintained in Italian companies that have long been on the verge of closure. Stellantis itself has relocated to the Netherlands and London for tax and administrative purposes. The biggest mistake, according to the media, was the switch to electric motors under the pressure of the “green transition” imposed by Brussels. Of course, the board and the Agnelli family are by no means impoverished because of the poverty of the workers in the Italian factories of the former Fiat.

The situation is similar in steel production, once one of Italy's leading industries. With an annual turnover of 30 billion euros, a worker's wages do not exceed 1,000 euros. The same applies to the healthcare sector, where there has been a massive migration of skilled workers abroad.

Poverty.

What is particularly telling is that the number of Italians living in absolute poverty in the northern Apennines, the region considered the engine of the Italian economy, has doubled in the last nine years. The latest report from the Catholic charity Caritas shows that the number of poor families rose from 506,000 to almost one million between 2014 and 2023. An increase in poverty is also recorded in the center of the country at 28.6 percent and in the south at 12.1 percent.

5.7 million people live in absolute poverty in Italy, i.e. almost one in ten of the country's citizens. Young families with children remain the most at risk.

Families living in absolute poverty in Italy include those who cannot afford the minimum expenses to ensure an acceptable standard of living. The spending threshold is calculated based on the cost of basic goods and services such as housing, healthcare and clothing. The amount varies depending on where the family lives, the number of members, their age and other factors.

In industrialized Italy, a G7 country (which also includes Great Britain, Germany, France, Canada, Japan and the USA), according to Save The Children, 200,000 children under the age of five are malnourished and live in “food poverty”.

Italy is not a revolutionary country by nature and the scale of the protests is not comparable to such loud movements as the “yellow vests” in France or “Occupy Wall Street” in New York.

But increasing internal social tensions can have unexpected consequences for political stability. The most important result today is a total disillusionment with politics, the loss of orientation and preferences. Already, only 50 percent of the country's total population votes in elections in Italy, and it turns out that the elected leaders enjoy the support of the majority of only this part of the electorate. I come to the conclusion that a large proportion of citizens throughout Italy do not support, do not share and are dissatisfied with the government's policies.

Russia’s 2022 Istanbul proposal called for Ukraine to abandon aspirations to join NATO, become a permanently neutral state, and drastically shrink its armed forces. This would ratify Russia’s territorial gains and render Ukraine defenseless against inevitable future Russian aggression.
