  1. @ennolenze klingt etwas nach „weapons don’t kill people, people do.“
    Ohne das Instrument (Glaube) gäbe es keine Toten.
    Dann bleibt halt nur die Frage: Wieviel braucht es um jemanden zu fanatisieren? #Inquisition #Holocaust

    'I see everyday #politicians repeat like parrots #economic propositions they don't even start to understand, defending a model that a central #bank admitted was wrong over twelve years ago. ... The #Greens propose actual structural change and get labelled "communist" by people who have never read a balance sheet or a #Lenin text. The heterodox approach #predicted #2008, predicted the #housing #crisis, and predicted the current private #debt trap. The orthodox models predicted none of it ...'

    'The orthodox model was declared wrong by the Bank of #England in 2014. Their paper “#Money Creation in the Modern Economy” stated plainly: #banks do not lend out deposited #reserves in a multiplier chain. Banks create #deposits when they make #loans ...'

    (NZ's Social Credit Party got a Court to agree five decades earlier.)

    'The consequences are not theoretical or academic. When you worship the wrong model, you can’t do anything else than design the wrong #policy. You pretend not to see the #monopoly extracting over 6 billions from a #mortgage market they control 87% of. You don’t see that raising rates shift #income from #borrowers to banks and does not touch the supply of housing stock. You end up believing the #household metaphor is literal — that the Crown pockets are empty — when #NZ’s #Crown debt is 44% of #GDP...'

    (The OECD average is about twice that.)

    '... #Galileo was almost burned at stake for simply asking the #Inquisition #judges to look in the telescope. Same old, same old.'
    '.....
    'Gentlemen, it is clear cut #class #warfare, and the #vested interests are so encrusted in #society that they are winning. Remember that their main weakness is in numbers, they are damaging and literally #robbing the majority of us, of the New Zealand society and brainwashing many trees to think that voting for the axe is the #prudent, #family sensible thing to do. The only chance you have is when numbers talk. The #election is coming...'

  3. "When #Jewish #immigration to #Brazil is mentioned, many immediately think of the large urban centers in the South and Southeast. Few know, however, that one of the most fascinating chapters of the Jewish #diaspora in the country began thousands of kilometers away, along the banks of the #Amazon rivers.

    It was in the early 19th century that the first #Moroccan #Jews arrived in the Brazilian Amazon. Coming mainly from cities such as #Tangier, #Tetouan, and #Casablanca, they brought with them far more than merchandise: they carried centuries of history, a rich religious and cultural tradition, and above all, the hope of starting anew.

    Descendants of #Sephardic Jews expelled from the #IberianPeninsula—especially from #Spain during the #Inquisition in the late 15th century and later settled in North #Africa—these families fled persecution and political instability in #Morocco. Their destination was a distant, lush, and virtually unknown land: the Amazon."

  5. M’Crie quotes an Inquisition victim who cried out to God, preferring cannibals to his baptized tormentors. M’Crie—a Reformed historian—neither flinches nor excuses it. The title says it all: the Reformation’s heirs were the primary targets, and they’re the ones who preserved the memory. If you’re Christian, don’t be a fiend. If you’re not, consider who kept this story alive, and why.

    Als #bayern mit dem #PAG, dem #Polizeiaufgabengesetz voranging, glaubte kaum einer im Land, dass das #Normalität werden würde.

    Als in #Bayern die #Justiz die#Klimaklebenden in den #Knast oder zu horrenden #Geldstrafen verurteilte, gab es nur beruhigende #Presse

    #Texas hat hier begonnen, die Fortsetzung autoritärer Politik mit "#christlichen" Mitteln wird auch vor sonstiger #Inquisition zurückschrecken:

    Schon Kardinal #Faulhaber ermunterte #antisemitisch zum Mord an #KurtEisner

    LA PLUS GRANDE BIBLIOTHÈQUE DE LA NASA FERME SES PORTES

    Des milliers de documents relatifs à l’histoire de la conquête spatiale pourraient finir à la poubelle. Le résultat d’une décision de l’administration Trump, qui ferme une des plus grandes bibliothèques de la Nasa.

  10. A quotation from Victor Hugo

    But it is just those books which a man possesses, but does not read, which constitute the most suspicious evidence against him. The Spanish Inquisition have deliberated on that point, and have come to a conclusion that places the matter beyond further doubt.
     
    [Mais ce sont précisément les livres qu’un homme ne lit pas qui l’accusent les plus. L’inquisition d’Espagne a jugé ce point, et l’a mis hors de doute.]

    Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French writer
    Toilers of the Sea [Les Travailleurs de la Mer], Book 1, ch. 4 (1866) [tr. Thomas (1911)]
