The Marseillaise — An Old Anthem in a New Light

By now, you will have heard about the riots in France. As I write these lines, violent and chaotic conditions still prevail in almost all major French cities. According to my AI friend, approximately 1,300 protesters and 270 policemen have been injured or killed thus far plus an unknown number of civilian bystanders. Many cars burned.

These riots were sparked by the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old Algerian immigrant named Nahel Merzouk in Nanterre. Allegedly, Nahel was performing weird antics with a yellow car in front of a school building. Allegedly, the officer feared Nahel might hurt somebody and tried to stop him. When Nahel would not stop, the officer shot him.

How to fight woke with broke

ESG and the letter gender movement are slowly but surely destroying America’s economy. One wonders though, why long-existing solidly capitalist companies like Anheuser Busch or Target are turning shareholder capitalism into stakeholder capitalism, as described by Klaus Schwab, the prophet of climate change at the World Economic Forum, in his books “COVID 19 – The Great Reset” and “The 4th Industrial Revolution”.

Schwab ordains that, to save the world from climate change, capitalism must no longer be permitted to simply generate profits for its shareholders but must be mandated to produce and invest mainly in consideration of social and environmental, i.e., ideological concerns.

“Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.” (Proverbs, 12:19)

For years, I believed that Mr. Trump had been hounded by the Left for no justifiable reason. I believed that left-wing ideologues weaponized the CIA, the FBI, and the Department of Justice, including the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) Court system in order to prevent Mr. Trump from becoming President and, when he became President anyway, to prevent him from governing effectively. For believing this, I was called a right-wing fanatic, a NAZI, a white supremacist, a racist, and a political nut by the cool-aid drinkers of the Marxist globalist left.

Over the past three years, facts emerged one by one that showed that the Mueller investigation was a fraud from its inception. No there there. And Mr. Mueller knew it. Two impeachments, one paradoxically when Trump was already out of office. And nothing. No evidence. No impeachable offences.

“Green” — what’s in a word.

People who call themselves “green” typically demand drastic measures to reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, which, they claim, are caused by humans. They see themselves as the friends and defenders of the vegetal world against reckless CO2 contaminators.

Earth’s atmosphere contains approximately 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide – yes, only about 400 parts per million – and traces of hydrogen, helium, and other so-called “noble” gases.

Toxic Femininity

The women’s liberation movement has gradually morphed into a man-bashing movement. It has been taken over by lesbians and the transgender folks who hate men. The buzzword is “toxic masculinity”.

Make no mistake. This does not just mean that some men may be excessively aggressive or violent or that masculinity can occasionally turn into annoying or even dangerous aggressiveness. It means that men as a group are inherently more aggressive and more violent than women and therefore a danger to civil society and world peace.

Women, when given sufficient power, can be just as brutal, violent, destructive, and aggressive as men. In other words: Femininity can be just as toxic as masculinity.

Land of the Free and Home of the Brave?

Seems to me we are losing either way. If we do not revolt against this ruinous regime we lose our republic and our democracy and it we do revolt, we also lose our republic and our democracy. So, is there any way out of this conundrum? We wait patiently? We do nothing because if we did anything we might end up in prison? We hope the system can still cure itself?

I am beginning to wonder if there is a “too far” for the free and brave.

The Solutrean Hypothesis

Until recently, the common theory about how North America was populated was that the first humans migrated to Alaska from North East Asia and then moved on into the plains and to the East. The theory also asserted that the Clovis culture was the Neolithic culture of these early immigrants and that the American Indians are offspring of the Clovis people and the “native” population of North America.

However, the “Bering Strait” theory, as some call it, is unable to explain certain facts.

And perhaps therefore, it recently (2012) got competition: the Solutrean hypothesis.

Ad Hominem vs. Ad Rem (Hairdo or Country)

Politics, I said, is a pig-wrestling event and if you wrestle with pigs you may get dirty. And what is more important – that a president accomplishes the right things for his country or that he speaks in mild-mannered and polished ways while inflicting disaster upon his country – like Mr. Obama, for example?

I reminded him to consider how Trump was treated by his political opponents. Two impeachment attempts, the freely invented Russian Collusion hoax, investigation after investigation, false accusation after false accusation. The entire deep-state government was weaponized against him, never mind the Constitution or the rule of law.

Falsehood after falsehood. And then you condemn the man if he uses a cussword? Seems to me like accusing a rabbit of running against the one-way street while trying to escape a wolfpack.

Brown Bomber vs Nazi Superman – a lesson in humanity

Both Louis and Schmeling became political figures when the Nazis came to power in Germany. Hitler tried to placate Schmeling as proof of the superiority of the Arian race, while Joe Louis was seen, by black and white Americans alike at the time, as the litmus test that a democracy was better than fascism.

On June 19, 1936, Joe Louis and Max Schmeling faced off against each other in New York’s Madison Square Garden. The fight had to be postponed for a day due to bad weather and the New York Times wrote: “Schmeling’s execution was delayed.”

The Water Dipole — Basis of all Life on earth

The direct effect of dipole interaction is called cohesion, the property of molecules to stick together. Cohesion is the cause of surface tension of water surfaces, which allows the surface of liquids, in particular of water, to contract to the smallest possible surface area.

The strong cohesion between water molecules is responsible for the ability of water to form drops like raindrops or drops on leaves. It is also the cause of the strong adhesion of water to other substances, which enables water to “climb” upward against gravity in capillary tubes.
