  2. 🎥🎭 Cine Teatro Blue, a collapsing ruin that was once a vibrant cultural venue in Portugal.

    The roof collapsed many years ago, and now vegetation grows in front of the stage. Having been abandoned for many years, it now faces an uncertain future.

    Will it be left to collapse entirely? At the moment, such an outcome seems to be the most likely destiny for this crumbling building.

    Weswegen digitale Verifikation so wie Verschlüsselung immer wichtiger wird. Damit lässt sich u.a. auch sicherstellen, dass kein Betrug von Dritte über MITM geschieht.

  4. The Fake Left Is A Plutocratic Instrument:Disempowering, Deindustrializing, Stupidifying


    Much of what is called the “Left” is neither socialist, nor ecological nor progressive in a good way. Instead it is malevolent and stupid, and often in complete contradiction with “Left” and “Green” policies of a few generations ago. This is particularly clear in Europe, which is increasingly ruined by the Islamo-Left (a contradiction in terms, as Islam is a backward religion from 14 centuries ago out there in the desert, nothing in common with the secular and progressive left of, say, 1789-1939).

    The tradition of defending Ayatollahs was started by the French government in the 1960s, probably as an anti-US policy, to thank the US for having kicked the French out in so many more ways than one, rendering France a shadow of its former self. The idea was probably to steal Iran from the USA (the CIA had already weaponized the Ayatollahs in 1953…).

    In the 1970s, kissing the Ayatollahs was followed by French philosophers such as Michel Foucault. Later many on the French “Left” argued that Muslims living in France would stop being Muslim on their own, and become 100% French. That was naive and showed they didn’t know the world, hate, and the power of money, let alone the power of tribalization and violence. 

    Far from being dedicated enemies of plutocracy, the self-declared “Left” and “Ecologistss/Green” have long been instrumentalized and weaponized by much of the plutocracy.

    For example, what is more plutocratic than Harvard or the New York Times (controlled by the same family since the 1800s…)? Xi’s daughter went to Harvard, with her bodyguards. Bill Gates built for Xi his electronic security apparatus. Then invited him at home in Seattle.

    In Europe, the “Left” and “Green” destroyed the nuclear and other industries, often in secret conspiracies (Jospin 1999) but also by promoting insane ideologies, such as telling us that gas from Siberia was ecological, but gas from Western Europe was not. so that Putin and China could become even more powerful… As the Russian and Chinese dictators were super friendly to European plutocrats, and fed them with more than gas and cheap goods. For example Putin’s oligarchs extracted wealth from Russia, and then invested said wealth stolen from Russians, with their Western plutocratic friends.

    Thus Europe became ever more de-industrialized, and depowered, enabling European plutocrats to do whatever they wanted to do (which they did). So many policies pretending to be “left” or “green” are the exact opposite in their long term consequences…

    An example has been to replace the Native European population by Muslim immigrants: that’s done with a number of fiscal tricks. The interest is that uneducated and tame Muslim immigrants will not challenge European plutocrats and provide the serfs plutocrats need for the necessary minimum employment to service them.

    The plutocratic class profits from this “Great Replacement”, and “Left” leaders have found there an electoral clientele (in part by claiming that it was the victim of racism). It is presented as a “Left” policy but the Native Europeans and their descendants see that the policy is directed against them and thus have switched from voting communist or socialist to voting “right”… And thus are insulted by being called “populist” and dangerous to “democracy” (by the latter term it means Oligarchic Democracy).

    In countries such as France the “Left”, or more exactly “Caviar Left” in power for 46 years (mostly) is not just ruining the country, but endangering democracy as it increasingly puts the opposition in prison… While financing its own clientele through “associations” with a budget in excess of high education plus research…

    The polarization is rising. Differently from the USA, the fake left was allowed to ruin France…relative to other European countries. French GDP per capita, once roughly the highest in Europe, equal to Switzerland, is now half of Switzerland, and below the EU average… The Socialist-Plutocratic complex is solidly in power, and cooperating with the Sharia influenced judicial system (attacking the Qur’an sends you to prison…) Opposition politicians (Sarkozy) have been sent to prison on flimsy evidence, or prevented to run (Fillon). The head of the opposition is on trial for extremely obscure charges brought initially by the SPD (yes the German Socialists, the associates of Putin…) Much of France depends upon financing by government through associations and is terrified that the right would come in power and cut the giant subsidies…

    The fun is only starting…

    By the way, I am, on many issues, a Socialist, a real one. And the real Socialist system in France is breaking down under the assault of the leeches: 94% of France is a medical desert. What does that mean? You get cancer and you can’t get an appointment. So what do you do? You go to Switzerland and pay on your own dime to get treatment. How do I know? Well, I just financed a few such adventures for individuals in theory fully covered in France… By the  “Couverture Medicale Universelle”… But “Socialism” should not mean retirement at 60, or working 35 hours for full pay, or spending 50 billion dollars a year on clientele “associations”…

    Amusingly the “extreme-right” Party, the RN, embraces many “Socialist” aspects… So is not really an opposition force… At least in Spring 2026…

  5. «Norwegen beklagt per Video die "Verscheißifizierung" des Internets:
    Eine globale Kampagne aus Norwegen kämpft gegen die zunehmende Verschlechterung digitaler Dienste. Tech-Konzerne locken Nutzer anfangs mit Funktionen und ruinieren danach Plattformen und Geräte systematisch für mehr Gewinn.»

    Ich hoffe mal, dass weltweit jegliche dem nachziehen und nicht wider anhand deren finanziellen Angst dem ausweichen.

  6. A quotation from Addison

    When a nation once loses its regard to justice; when they do not look up it as something venerable, holy and inviolable; when any of them dare presume to lessen, affront or terrify those who have the distribution of it in their hands; when a judge is capable of being influenced by any thing that is foreign to its own merits, we may venture to pronounce that such a nation is hastening to its ruin.

    Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
    Essay (1713-07-04), The Guardian, No. 99

  12. Today saw a chilly visit to Buildwas Abbey in Shropshire. Established in the 12 century as a Savignac Abbey, soon becoming Cistercian.

    Buildwas has a dark history, one of the abbots was murdered by a monk. The abbots ghost is said to still haunt the grounds.

  13. A quotation from Montesquieu

    A kingdom is not brought nearer to ruin by the tyranny of the sovereign than is a republic by indifference to the common welfare.

    Considerations on the Causes of the Greatness of the Romans and their Decline [Considérations sur les causes de la grandeur des Romains et de leur décadence], ch. 4 (1734, 1748 ed.) [tr. Baker (1882)]

  16. A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

    Those who oppose all reform will do well to remember that ruin in its worst form is inevitable if our national life brings us nothing better than swollen fortunes for the few and the triumph in both politics and business of a sordid and selfish materialism.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
    Speech (1910-08-31), “The New Nationalism,” Osawatomie, Kansas

  18. Ruins of an old canal aqueduct.
    On the long disused Leominster Canal on the borders of Shropshire and Herefordshire stands the ruin of the Teme Aqueduct.
    Despite the canal being disued, the aqueduct stood intact until an explosives exercise in WW2 demolished the middle arch!
    Despite this, the remaining structure is Grade 2 Listed!
