TIL that in 1911, the Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre Museum by Vincenzo Peruggia, and it took two years to get it back. The museum initially had no idea it was missing, assuming it was out for photography. [Source]

"What we did to pigeons - removed them from their natural habitat, trained them to serve us, and then threw them away once technological advances meant we didn't need them any more - is currently being done to us, too, and for the same reasons."

"So what is the "unknown" here? The unknown is our *KNOWLEDGE* of what that state might be, not the *STATE OF THE CAT ITSELF* nor that state's claimed creation by observation. We, the observer, just don't know what the state is until we look inside the box. It is our knowledge of the cat that is deficient or incomplete. We do not "create" the state of the cat being alive or being dead by observing it — we get additional information about it by observing it. The cat was in one of those states before we opened the box. We are not the Demiurge making the cat alive or dead with our presence or will as the observer."

🇺🇸 US foreign policy fosters chaos worldwide, including in Ukraine and in the Middle East, the University of Chicago professor John Mearsheimer said in an interview to the Global Times newspaper:

I'm also deeply concerned about the war in Ukraine and the possibility of escalation where the US, and NATO more generally, come into the conflict. Conflict between Russia on one side and Ukraine and the West on the other side will go on for decades… The US has done a terrible job handling the situation in Ukraine. The US is principally responsible for causing the war in Ukraine.

According to the prominent US scholar in international relations, the principal cause of the war in Ukraine was the West's efforts to bring Ukraine into NATO, and the US was the driving force behind that decision.

The US role was equally negative after the start of the war:

Instead of trying to shut the war down, the US has, if anything, sought to push it forward, aiming to keep it going so Ukraine can defeat the Russians. The US should not have tried to bring Ukraine into NATO. Once the war started, the US should have gone to great lengths to prevent it.

Understanding relativity has practical implications. Whether it's men heading right or women to the left is a matter of perspective.

"Aristotle, meanwhile, enjoyed the most productive years in career in Athens. The story that Alexander's troops took time off from conquering the known world to send rare and fabulous specimens back to Alexander's old teacher, first told by Pliny, appears to have no foundation in fact, like many of Pliny's tales. But Aristotle's experiments and observations, while only a small part of the prehistory of science3, help to explain why Aristotle has such an exalted position in the modern pantheon of philosophers.

"Additionally, his experience with Alexander and the Macedonians informed Aristotle’s theory of causality, which proposes four causes for any given fact. This is a helpful tool for studying political events and is superior to simpler, later notions that economic interests (“material cause” in Aristotelian jargon) can explain everything – a fact that Aristotle, who spent much time among the economically backward but bellicose and consistently successful Macedonians, understood from a very early age."

"Carbon dating is not accurate enough to pin down the exact year the tree sprouted from seed; however, given the estimated age, the tree is supposed to have sprouted around 7550 B.C. For comparison, the invention of writing (and thus, the beginning of recorded history) did not occur until around 4000 B.C. Researchers have found a cluster of around twenty spruce trees in the same area, all over eight millennia old."

"Newright’s term “Millennial Snot” captures a social posture that’s as ubiquitous as it is destructive. Millennial Snot is an ethos of disdain, an ironic distance from everything sincere and substantive. This sneering posture is inherently protective, insulating people from genuine critique by inoculating them against attachment."

"Vandaelle advocated for vaccine passports and mandates and called for the firing of anyone who refused the injections.

"He also suggested that unvaccinated people should be arrested and taken away to concentration camps by their governments.

This presentation by Prof Dr Stefan Homburg is devastating.

You may recall his analysis of files deliberately released by Germany’s Robert Koch Institute in summer 2024? These were official & heavily redacted. Still, they revealed extensive political control of what the public (& the courts) were told were independent experts.

Now, there’s been a substantial leak from inside RKI of internal correspondence which tears apart any semblance of reality surrounding the pretend pandemic.

It’s official. There was no pandemic. No public health emergency. The hospitals were emptier than usual.

The entire scandalous episode, lasting years, was manufactured by named politicians.

If you still think there’s been a new, fast spreading disease which shut down the world and necessitated rushed (fake, dangerous) injections, I don’t know what to say to you.

Please - share this widely. Numerous politicians in the German government are named as bad actors in this RKI-Leak and this extended to NATO members.

Our sole defence against tyranny is to shine the disinfectant of sunlight upon it.

Best wishes
