[07:05]	activelow	"support of the russian aggression will be considered a criminal offense
[07:05]	activelow	"support of the russian aggression will be considered a criminal offense"; Buschmann, ministry of justicy, Germany
[07:06]	activelow	am i allowed to say then: "I cannot believe Russians committed the attrocities they are accused of."
[07:13]	activelow	furthermore, cruelty propaganda isn't any recent "innovation", that's why, some historians struggled with historical documents
[07:13]	activelow	not because of a supposed "denial" of historical facts, instead to verify those
[07:16]	activelow	Russia already called for UN security council assembly
[07:18]	kingoffrance	eh, whenever there is a "war" truth is always shot.  during peacetime it is slowly poisoned :)
[07:19]	kingoffrance	i dont know, trump said nothing would have happened if he was elected. perestroika deception called this "cooperation blackmail" lol
[07:20]	kingoffrance	for a guy fighting "socialism" supposedly, he sure seems to follow that script lol
[07:23]	kingoffrance	i dont know, truth can be spun 100 ways
[07:24]	kingoffrance	or, all facts can be spun whichever which way
[07:31]	kingoffrance	even more strange, that book was about "western civilization" -- somehow that "appearance" was used to destroy it
[07:32]	kingoffrance	i see lots of acting, hard to separate the noise
[07:35]	kingoffrance	the "proud boys" played whatever propaganda role they were supposed to and then vanished lol
[07:35]	kingoffrance	or, the sov citizens say, informant role
[07:35]	kingoffrance	the "defenders of western civilization" just disappeared into thin air lol
[07:36]	activelow	didn't follow Trumpistan and "proud boys"; there was a short documentary about them on phoenix tv station, and those seemed rather relaxed and moderate
[07:36]	kingoffrance	it was all a dream lol
[07:36]	activelow	in comparison to some "right wingers" i remember, from east germany
[07:36]	kingoffrance	yeah, im just trying to make sense of it
[07:36]	activelow	which book about "western civilization" were you referring to?
[07:37]	kingoffrance	that was golitsyn, the supposed defector.   perestroika deception 
[07:37]	kingoffrance	i dont know how much of that i buy , except education does work that way
[07:38]	kingoffrance	the thing is for america
[07:38]	kingoffrance	it was all perestroika up until recently, from the "right"
[07:38]	kingoffrance	so it 180ed 
[07:38]	activelow	i was too young at the times of perestroika, however i do remember 1990 in east-germany, as a child and student
[07:38]	activelow	one of the first prime time news on TV, was USA bombing Iraq
[07:38]	kingoffrance	so my natural inclination is anything overblown is a fake
[07:39]	activelow	and Yugoslawia, which is what i remember, about the times of the so-called "re-unification"
[07:39]	kingoffrance	"education does work that way"  UN is/was all about "synthesis" old news
[07:39]	kingoffrance	which the us created
[07:39]	kingoffrance	it was never "russia" per se, unless people saying they packed it or whatever.  ancient history
[07:40]	activelow	if it is true, that Oil imports from Russia into USA increased +40% recently, then enough was said about the demands for sanctions
[07:40]	kingoffrance	thats also why trump is so confusing  gives speech to un "we will never be a socialist country!"   you realize us made the un, right?
[07:40]	kingoffrance	you realize the headquarters is new york, where you're from? lol
[07:40]	kingoffrance	just woke up from a 50 year nap? lol
[07:41]		*psydroid2 (~psydroid@memzbmehf99re.irc) has joined #techpol
[07:42]	kingoffrance	so if they are "sincere" ...you slept for 60 years.    thats why i lean towards "acting"
[07:42]	kingoffrance	the alternative is........oh its 1950 again lol
[07:42]	activelow	that's a suspicion, , the recent media spectacle serves to impose sanctions, in parallel to increase import/export business with those who demand them most excessively: USA
[07:43]	activelow	fertilizer import/export from Russia to USA increased too recently, according to some source
[07:44]	activelow	meanwhile, inflation on wheat products, milk, meat +10% in german supermarkts
[07:45]	activelow	it's not as if i couldn't afford it, however, those +10% inflation i noticed with the energy bills too, this inflation didn't arrive where it belongs and who caused it: USA
[07:45]	kingoffrance	yes, i keep hearing bidenflation
[07:45]	activelow	in Germany, not USA, that is
[07:46]	kingoffrance	which i dont know "who" did anything except: more acting.  the federal reserve was deliberately designed to take policy out of hands of politicians (congress) let alone any president.   whether that is true or not, people have short memories
[07:47]	activelow	September 2001, btw., at that time i enjoyed two "currency reforms" already (expropriations in east-germany), given the fact KPMG and the trust fund which managed _MY_ property, where i couldn't afford to rent an appropriate flat, some office or lab space to work
[07:47]	activelow	2004, another Iraq war
[07:48]	kingoffrance	i mean, everything seems to just devolve into meaningless temporary soundbites...and a few years later the "sides" switch and hurl the same accusations at eachother
[07:48]	activelow	this KPMG trust-fund, is in the hands of "atlantic bridge" minions
[07:49]	activelow	anyway, different topic, it's just my memories, about USA and their affiliates, to loot and plunder
[07:50]	activelow	in Ukraine, i suspect, their seek another land-grab (fertile soil, corn and wheat), besides oil/gas interests (Burisma Biddler business)
[07:50]	activelow	*they
[07:51]	activelow	most of the wheat shipped from Ukraine, wherever it goes? Israel, Lebanon, Arabia? I don't know.
[07:55]	activelow	the geo-strategic implications are severe, imaginining, if some shipments are terminated, including wheat, plant oil, which Ukraine is a major exporter for.
[07:55]	activelow	such as, i could imagine, if arabia didn't receive their share of wheat, if and how this could impact Oil supply of, again, USA
[07:56]	activelow	that's too the reason why, i speculate, EU is keen on "stand with Ukraine", given wherever wheat shipments arrive in North Africa, which in return operates some gas pipelines, to Spain and France
[07:57]	activelow	yet, those pipelines aren't connected to any European grid
[07:59]	activelow	yes, this was some recent news, wheat and plant oil shipments didn't depart anymore from Ukraine, Saudia Arabia denied an increase of Oil deliveries, who knows
● Apr 05
[08:00]	activelow	and then, i am reading reports, Oil imports into USA from Russia inreased +40% in recent days, meanwhile the harbor cities in Ukraine are portrayed as battlefields
[08:02]	activelow	this morning, President Steinmeier was cited with "Russian foreign policy" had failed
[08:02]	activelow	too i might add Ukraine foreign policy has, whatever their plans are with the media spectacle presented
[08:03]	activelow	and, as far as i am concerned, the east-german "foreign" policy failed, given the fact what's presented as "re-unification" never had been any
[08:03]	activelow	it is a propaganda lie
[08:04]	activelow	with the transfer of _all_ east-german property into a KPMG trust-fund managed by "atlantic bridge" minions, in germany
[08:04]	activelow	since this is what i remember, and Ukraine better not followed this example
[08:06]	activelow	better to say, instead of EU, it's KPMG financial conglomerate
[08:15]	activelow	anyway, those "Alliance90/greens" (mostly atlantic bridge affiliates, Oezdemir, Nouripur, Goering-Eckhardt, all foreign agents of _USA_ interests)
[08:15]	activelow	it was them most excessively agitating for an "energy embargo", and both Russia and Ukraine are calling for the bluff now
[08:16]	activelow	i mean, it is ringing in my ears, the spoutings of those "pro-EU" "climate" "feminist" activist gang... now the time has come, for "climate action"
[08:26]	activelow	"france considers expelling 35 russian diplomats"
[08:27]	activelow	"medvedev: terminate diplomatic relations with the west"
[08:30]	activelow	didn't know that until recently, Spain and France didn't connect their gas pipelines from north africa to any EU grid
[08:31]	activelow	and this exact same type of "EU" aggitates for an energy embargo, and termination of the northstream pipelines (which was the escalating strategic element i think)
[08:32]	activelow	rather comfortable arrangement, when sun is shining in spain, besides BASF chemical industry, requirements for heating in germany
[08:33]	activelow	"Berlin declares 40 russian diplomats as unwelcomed persons"
[08:37]	activelow	"UN security council: UK and USA demand expelling Russia"... i see, Burisma activity terminated.
[08:40]	activelow	in parallel i remember, the _iregular_ TARGET2 balances, in violation of EU contracts, which exploded
[08:41]	activelow	who knows, what the gamble is, with the Euro, which Putin wasn't willing to accept, without a rublefication at Russian Central bank...
[08:43]	activelow	in parallel, some more live-tickers, "climate action", "1.5degC target cannot be met anymore", Latif;
[08:43]	activelow	sure, temperature anomalies surpassed more than 10degC already
[08:44]	activelow	the entire "carbon" propaganda spook, and all reductions in Germany, was _only_ related to the collapse of industry in east germany
[08:44]	activelow	yet, destroying the scientific basis of east-germany, including mine, wasn't wise, to say the least
[08:52]	activelow	"NK, Kim's sister: in case of a confrontation obligations will be fulfilled"
[08:55]	activelow	"Ukrain ambassador Melnyk: terminate _all_ energy supplies from Russia now."
[08:56]	activelow	"Baerbock (Alliance90/greens eco-feminist-gaga gang leader), energy embargo impossible"... who would have thought. surprise.
[08:58]	activelow	"Liberals": "public support of the russian aggression criminal offense"
[08:59]	activelow	"DarkNet russian Hydra Market" shut down

[09:04]	activelow	some rumors were, inhabitants supporting russia were at risk, for revenge by ukrainian forces when russian military left
[09:12]	activelow	whoever was responsible, the pipelines continue operation, to my knowledge including the Ukrainian one
[09:13]	activelow	"the mothers", and "the children", "humanity"... EU parliament in action
[09:17]	activelow	anyway, "providing lethal aid to ukraine", RAND corp. - end quote - is _USA_ strategy, in parallel fertilizer and oil supply from Russia to USA were reported to have _increased_, regardless of any sanctions or embargo
[09:18]	activelow	yet, USA planted their foreign agents everywhere into german politics and EU, business, news and media
[09:19]	activelow	and those obviously remain loyal to those who fund them, to serve _USA_ interests
[09:20]	activelow	instead it is 10% inflation in germany now, not _USA_, which supposedly served "climate action", envisioned by whoever orchestrates this nonsense
[09:27]	activelow	"Club of Rome: global carbon emission reduction by 40%"; why not 99%? couldn't afford a railway ticket at least, or book a hotel room, to travel home at least once, in a decade.

[13:00]	activelow	"USA and Israel agree to sell Arrow-3 rockets to Germany"
[13:02]	activelow	as far as i am concerned: i do not want their F-35, i do not want Intel fabs in east-germany, i do not want their arrow-3
[13:10]	activelow	i consider this some double-talk, since an arrow-3 defense system is required in case of a threat, wherever this originated; an offer which cannot be rejected so to say
[13:12]	activelow	who and what is this threat then? why would Lambrecht (ministry of defense) beg in USA, although dozens of Eurofighters, spendings of billions for this
[13:13]	activelow	concerning the temperature climate spook, i would say mission accomplished, since temperatures in germany dropped roughly 10degC (not 1.5 or any other imaginary)
[13:14]	activelow	and those 10degC aren't the bottom yet;
[13:16]	activelow	however, the real deal is those murderous EU apparatschiks and what's presented as german government, they seek to strengthen their position as a supposedly "democratic" and "constitutional" government
[13:16]	activelow	which they aren't
[13:16]	activelow	because, "climate goals" could have been achieved without any of it: mass unemployment, de-industrialization, war, carbon certificates
[13:17]	activelow	that's all political/ideological rubbish

[23:04]	immibis	dunno what that is. german people want us to stop selling bombs and tanks to war criminals.
[23:12]	activelow	"Atlantik Brcke" is THE political organization of west-german, which was established by USA to dictate german politics/news/economy
[23:12]	activelow	and almost all high ranking politicians, journalists, industry leaders are affiliates of this "NGO"
[23:13]	activelow	and follow a centralized coordinated dictate originating there
[23:14]	activelow	and the affiliation with this organization is the explanation for the insane contradictions in german politics and their propaganda appartus
[23:15]	activelow	for example, German politics invested billions into Northstream2 project, yet big brother USA/Atlantik-Brcke said no no, then demands for sanctions are articulated to self-inflict harm in germany, and benefit USA strategic interests
[23:37]	immibis	activelow: that just sounds like USA and Germany having different interests
[23:38]	immibis	and bickering with each other
[23:38]	immibis	which is just normal politics
[23:38]	immibis	clearly the atlantic bridge is not so powerful if germany proceeded with murderstream2 anyway
[23:41]	activelow	since northsthream2 was terminated, USA proposed to sell LNG with a surplus margin
[23:42]	activelow	and it isn't some arbitrary interests, when a foreign nation subverts and hijacks politics,economy and journalism
[23:43]	activelow	although, i am not entirely sure, if it is "Atlantik Brcke" only, since besides this organization others exist, which are dominated by USA: NATO, UN (New York)
[23:43]	activelow	"EU" isn't worth mentioning anymore
[23:44]	immibis	activelow: you think germany imposes sanctions because the USA asks it to, not because Germany hates Nazis?
[23:45]	activelow	pardon?
[23:46]	immibis	activelow: you think the reason Germany imposes sanctions is because the USA asks it to?
[23:46]	immibis	I think the reason Germany sanctions Nazis is because Germany doesn't like Nazis
[23:49]	activelow	any free political movement or journalism are systematically oppressed, regardless of any "ideology"
[23:49]	activelow	either the _dictate_ of some foreign agents is followed, or "cancelation"
[23:54]	activelow	there isn't any relevant "right-wing" movement which posed a threat to anyone, the only threat is this: truth
