⚠️ Did Putin Just Send Germany a Diplomatic Signal? Roger Koeppel, the editor-in-chief of (@Weltwoche) recounts an unexpected exchange with Vladimir Putin at the Valdai Discussion Club. After Koeppel challenged Putin over Russia's treatment of Swiss company Nestlé, the conversation shifted to Egon Bahr, the architect of Germany's Ostpolitik and the belief that there can be "no peace in Europe against Russia, only with Russia." What struck Koeppel was that, at a moment of deep tensions between Russia and Germany and with "no diplomacy whatsoever," Putin chose to highlight a statesman whose life's work was preserving peace through engagement and dialogue. Koeppel believes the message was deliberate, arguing that Putin was signaling continued interest in rebuilding communication with Germany despite the current confrontation. As Koeppel puts it, "I would say he extended his hand towards the Germans." A fascinating look at Russia, Germany, diplomacy, and whether an opening for dialogue still exists in the Ukraine war.

🇨🇳 The West spent centuries extracting from Africa, ignored it for decades after decolonization, and now panics because China stepped in as an equal partner. Calling China-Africa cooperation "new colonialism" isn't a critique—it’s pure projection and fear. 🌍 🎙️seerealchina

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Dave Smith says something clicked during a long conversation with Jewish friends and family about Israel. They talked about the Holocaust. Pogroms. Rising antisemitism. Jewish schools needing security. And almost none of the conversation was about Gaza. He doesn’t say that to mock the fear behind it. His own grandfather was a Jew in Nazi Germany, so he understands how deeply that history can shape the generations that come after. For many Jews, Dave says, rising antisemitism doesn’t feel abstract. It can feel like the first signs of something their families already lived through. “You can have a little bit of understanding for why someone would feel that way.” But his point is that empathy can’t stop there. You can understand where that fear comes from and still look directly at what Palestinians are going through. Those two things are not mutually exclusive. @ComicDaveSmith

🤯 Was war denn bitte DA los? Wir sehen RTL aus dem Jahr 1992. 🔥 Auf dem „heißen Stuhl“ sitzt der Autor und PDS-Politiker Gerhard Zwerenz und behauptet, dass es in Deutschland zu viele Nazis gäbe - er verteidigt das u.a. gegen @Dieter_Stein und Musikern von „Störkraft“. ☎️ Man konnte sogar anrufen, um der These zuzustimmen oder zu widersprechen. 🪖 Zwerenz an anderer Stelle: „Ich musste fahnenflüchtig werden, um dem deutschen Reich zu entkommen.“ Lauter Zwischenruf: „Kameradenschwein“. 😳 Junge… Fernsehen war mal anders. ⤵️ Für euch dokumentiert - ganze Sendung in den DruKos

In the “pro-Ukraine” hive mind, it’s apparently impossible to be critical of both the West and Putin. You must be full-throated in your Russophobia, totally unquestioning of Kyiv, and unequivocal in your defence of its Western “partners”. Otherwise, you deserve to be censored, cancelled, blacklisted or deported.

„Abend, ich bin Levi, Schüler aus Augsburg, und ich glaube nicht, dass die Interessen, die Sie hier vertreten, und die Interessen der deutschen Regierung die Interessen von mir oder die Interessen meiner Mitmenschen sind.“

In 2015, at the ECHO Klassik Awards, pianist Menahem Pressler, then 92 years old, was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award. After accepting the award, he asked if he could sit down at the piano and play a short piece. He chose Chopin’s Nocturne in C-sharp minor. There was no orchestra, just a piano and a man who had devoted his entire life to music. The piece is not long, but under Pressler’s fingers, each note seemed to unfold slowly, delicately, and intimately, like a story being told through sound.

This is not only in South America where the left is loosing ground, the same happens in Europe. Why ? Very simple, the new left has been infiltrated by Soros and other NGos that have shifted the whole traditional left’s fight into societally issue. They have shifted from a vertical fight to a horizontal fight > made the masses fight each other, this way omitting their real enemy > the oligarchy. The traditional real LEFT was about Class struggle. Yes, the 99% against the 1% Soros and other serious funding from oligarchs/multinational corporations have infiltrated the left to better DESTROY IT. They had to divide the 99%…. And YES > IT WORKED Distracted over races, gender, sex, abortion, intangible BS is the recipe for disaster. People want dignity, access to education, healthcare, security, food > focus on that and people might trust again their left, the rest is just DISTRACTION

Naftali Bennett has branded one of the most influential Haredi rabbis in Israel, Dov Lando, as “antisemitic” What did Rabbi Lando say to earn this label? Lando proclaimed: “It’s possible, without a state [of Israel], to live well with the Arabs… to live, to respect the Arabs. It was pretty good when the Arabs were in charge. It was the best situation.” He added that the Zionists “made Arabs hate us.“ Lando went on to call for a peace deal with the Palestinians, and slammed Zionism for having “brought the physical disasters, not just the spiritual ones, to the Jewish people.” For these clear-eyed statements, Lando has become a public enemy denounced by politicians across the Zionist spectrum. The lesson is clear: even a senior rabbi is one of The Antisemites if he refuses to bow before the state of Israel and its genocidal army.

"The enemy is Gaza, not Hamas.” Speaking to the Jerusalem Post, Israeli politician Moshe Feiglin said that the entire population in Gaza, children, are the “enemy”, while framing total forced expulsion, permanent annexation, and settlement in Gaza as a moral obligation

Ronnie Coleman and Jay Cutler once stood on the Mr. Olympia stage as competitors. In 2024, they stood together again, but this time Ronnie was there to help Jay move around. Life changes, but respect and friendship can last long after the competition ends.
