El 23 de julio de 2011, en Wenzhou (China), un tren de alta velocidad embistió a otro parado: 40 muertos y unos 190 heridos. La investigación culpó al Ministerio de Ferrocarriles. Su exministro, Liu Zhijun, fue condenado a muerte en 2013. Fue el último gran accidente en China.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Liu Zhijun fue arrestado y expulsado del Partido Comunista chino en febrero de 2011 por corrupción. El accidente de Wenzhou tuvo lugar en julio. Aunque se le considera responsable poítico, su condena fue por corrupción. Además, esta condena se conmutó por cadena perpetua.

A new Mandela Effect is rising.
Since when does the Soviet flag carry a star above the hammer and sickle?
Many of us remember it clearly without one.
If you recall the flag without the star… you may be from the old Earth.
Shifted into this denser, clown-world timeline.
The memory itself is the proof.
The body knows.
The soul knows.
We are not crazy.
We are remembering.
I miss the old Earth too.
Yet we are here now to hold the Light and anchor a higher one.
Who else feels this?

Antes de que Adam Smith publicara "La riqueza de las naciones" en 1776, un puñado de frailes y profesores de la Universidad de Salamanca ya habían explicado buena parte de lo que hoy llamamos Economía, y casi nadie en España se acuerda de ellos.
En 1556 Martín de Azpilcueta explicaba que el dinero vale menos donde abunda, y por eso, la plata que llegaba de América disparaba los precios en Sevilla.
Es lo que hoy se conoce como teoría cuantitativa del dinero, y la formuló doce años antes de que el francés Jean Bodin se llevara la fama por decir lo mismo.
Ese mismo año Diego de Covarrubias defendía que el valor de las cosas no lo marca lo que cuesta producirlas sino lo que la gente las estima, y que el mismo trigo vale más en las Indias que en Castilla.
Luis de Molina sostenía que el precio justo es el que sale del mercado cuando no hay fraude ni monopolio, y que cuando la autoridad fija un precio por debajo, el trigo desaparece del mercado.
Juan de Mariana se atrevió a escribir que devaluar la moneda es un impuesto encubierto que nadie ha votado, y acabó procesado por ello.
Y Francisco de Vitoria, defendiendo que los indios eran dueños legítimos de sus tierras y que todos los pueblos, cristianos o no, estaban sujetos a un mismo derecho, sembró el germen del derecho internacional moderno.
Fue una inglesa, Marjorie Grice-Hutchinson, quien los rescató en 1952, y Schumpeter quien les dio el sitio que merecían en la historia del pensamiento económico, mientras aquí seguían prácticamente olvidados.
A partir de hoy iré contando sus historias, una a una, con datos, con fechas y con lo que tienen que decirnos sobre la inflación, los impuestos, los topes de precios o la pobreza.
Y de vez en cuando me tomaré la licencia de imaginar qué pensarían de nuestros problemas actuales, como la vivienda, porque muchos debates que hoy se venden como nuevos ya se discutieron en Salamanca hace casi 500 años.

The thing is that men don't naturally want to marry, but a society needs men marrying at scale in order to be stable and prosperous, you need to be able to harness the power of the "average man," to get him to have stake in society and contribute, and the best way to do that is to give him a reasonable shot at marriage and property ownership... to entice men to marry at-scale, you need to give them a reasonable shot at a woman with (at least) limited sexual experience who he has some amount of authority over, full stop. We don't offer that at scale, we offer, at scale, "gently-used" women at the tail end of youth who men have zero authority over, who can leave them at any point for any reason, who face no obligation to give them kids, who view what most would consider "good wife behavior" as degrading pickme-ism... not to mention that men are told incessantly by society at-large that they're not "owed sex" by their own wives, which is a proposition that would've been unthinkable to offer a man at any point prior to say 2010... women can say this is fair, it's more just this way, the previous way was Patriarchal Oppression, OK, whatever, but be that as it may, the current marriage offer isn't good for men, and instead of getting married at scale, they're shifting slowly towards opting out at scale, do with this information what you will

The most insane thing about this retarded theory is any remaining Jewish hate in our society had disappeared by the 90s. No White Americans born in our generation had any clue about Jewish subversion in our society or why our ancestors and Jews clashed in the past. It had been successfully removed from the memories of Christian people all across the west.
Our generation just wanted to live normal peaceful lives. Have fun, get married, have kids and enjoy our lives. The only reason that changed is because that dream was ripped from us and people started looking into who was behind it. Any increase in anti-semitism can be squarely left at the foot of your own paranoia and aggression towards us 50 years removed from any conflict. Your need for revenge against a generation who had nothing to do with past conflicts is why you are in the position you're in now. And the ironic thing is you could probably still salvage things if you just stopped fucking with us, and stopped being at the forefront of our demographic replacement.

We know how much it matters to live in a country where our rights are protected, where the law applies equally to everyone, and where the majority can’t just decide that some people don’t deserve the same freedoms. The safety and freedom we’ve found in America didn’t happen by accident. They exist because of democracy. And protecting democracy means protecting Jewish safety, too.
We know what happens when those protections start to break down. When courts are weakened, elections are undermined, and people lose equal protection under the law, minorities are often the first to pay the price. Jews have seen this throughout our history. It’s one of the reasons so many of our families sought refuge in democratic countries.
That’s why I find it so alarming to see what’s happening right now. When masked government agents are taking people off the streets and citizens are being shot in public, we should all be worried about where things are headed. As Jews, we know that when a government starts targeting certain groups of people, no one should assume they’re safe from what comes next.
Mike Rogers has chosen to align himself with a movement that is willing to attack our democracy. He stood with Trump and refused to accept the results of the 2020 election. And now we’re seeing what happens when a political movement treats the rights and dignity of certain people as disposable. For Jews, these things should set off alarm bells.
Jewish safety is tied to the health of our democracy. We can’t protect one without protecting the other. And in this Senate race, Abdul is the candidate who understands that and is willing to fight for it.

If this is the state of your civilization, then there is absolutely no point in talking about crimes at all.
Because if you lack the moral courage even to correctly describe the typical perpetrator, then you certainly lack the moral courage to actually hold perpetrators responsible.
Society, ultimately, is implemented by humans. Every law ever written is just so much wasted paper if the humans charged with giving meaning to those laws refuse to do so.
And for the last 75 years, that is what has happened. We have developed a political class that refuses to follow the intent of the law, or even its literal text, because if democrats started imprisoning thieves and murderers, we might have to notice that they're all African, and if republicans started deporting visa fraudsters, we might have to notice that they are all Indian.
There is an unwelcome truth behind all of this. Almost no one is particularly happy about it, but it divides the world into two groups... those who are willing to confront it, and those with their fingers in their ears screaming lalalalalalalalaIcantHEARyou.
Classical liberalism alone did not create or sustain Western Civilization. We know this because we have plenty of it, and it's not.
Christianity alone did not create or sustain Western Civilization. We know this because we have plenty of it, and it's not.
Western Civilization was created and sustained by the balance of three philosophies, not two, and it is the third philosophy that is missing.
This third philosophy does not come with a name, and it was never given a name until someone wanted to eradicate it.
Why does it not have a name? Because, unlike the other two philosophies, it has no point of origin. It did not have to be invented.
It predates both classical liberalism and Christianity. It predates the human race. Bees practice it, wolves practice it, dolphins practice it and so do lions.
It is the default state of all life.
Without it, the liberal notion of human rights, and the Christian notions of the good Samaritan and the imago d.e.i. become nothing more than suicide pacts.
Both classical liberalism and Christianity are leftist, socialist, and universalist in nature, and they only ever worked as modifiers on the basic right wing philosophy of all life.
It can be best described by one word.
Empiricism.
That isn't the word you thought I'd use, is it? But it's the word that fits, because it's the word that means believing what you see right in front of you.
Regardless of whether it hurts anyone's feelings, or contradicts your abstract principles about Jesus or the rights of humans.
It is the philosophy of preferring the welfare of your family to the welfare of infinity shrimp. It is the philosophy of not ignoring the blindingly fucking obvious.
It is the philosophy of all of us admitting that women who look like Diane Yap do not need to be followed around by security inside the store.
They need to be followed around by the Highway Patrol once they leave.

在屠宰场干了5年，告诉你一个秘密：动物今天要死，它们全都知道
我在屠宰场干了整整五年，每天跟猪牛羊打交道，见过的生死场面成千上万。说句掏心窝子的话，没入这行之前，我跟大伙儿一样，觉得牲口嘛，吃吃睡睡，稀里糊涂一辈子，哪懂什么生死。可五年下来，我摸透了它们每一个眼神、每一个动作，才发现自己当初多天真——这些不会说话的家伙，心里跟明镜似的，自己哪天走，清清楚楚。
平日里，待宰圈那叫一个热闹。猪拱猪、羊顶羊，抢食的打闹的，眼神清亮温顺，该吃吃该喝喝，天塌下来都不耽误长膘。可一到屠宰当天，那气氛说变就变，比翻书还快。整圈牲畜像商量好了似的，瞬间安静下来，挤成一团，紧紧挨着彼此，浑身抖得跟筛糠一样。那抖不是冻的，是打骨头缝里渗出来的恐惧。你赶它走，它四只脚死死扒着地，几百斤的大猪平时一轰就跑，那天愣是钉在原地往后缩，好像前面那条通道是鬼门关。老话讲“万物有灵”，我原先半信半疑，后来彻底信了。
牛的表现更让人心里发酸。但凡当天要走的牛，从早上起就不吃不喝，低着头杵在墙角，一动不动。我亲眼见过无数次，大颗大颗的泪珠子顺着牛眼角往下滚，湿漉漉的眼睛望着你，不挣不扎不吼叫，就那么默默流泪。有一回，一头养了好几年的老牛被主人牵来，主人站栏杆外看了一眼，那牛瞬间红了眼眶，直勾勾盯着主人，温顺又卑微，一步三回头地跟着我们走。那画面，我这辈子忘不掉。羊也一样，平时蹦蹦跳跳软软糯糯，临了却异常安静，紧紧偎着同伴发抖。赶别的羊成群往前冲，唯独那天，你推我挤谁都不肯带头，偶尔被单独牵出来的小羊，发出细细的凄厉叫声，不是闹腾，是真害怕。
时间一长，我们工人不用看单据不用记编号，单凭状态就能判断个八九不离十——活蹦乱跳的是来日方长，沉默发抖、不吃不喝、眼神惶恐的，全是今日宿命。你说它们听不懂人话、看不懂流程，怎么就掐得这么准？其实道理不复杂，流水线一开，前面的同伴一个个消失再没回来，后面的全看在眼里；环境里那股肃杀的气息、同类压抑的悲鸣，它们比人敏感百倍。俗话说“蝼蚁尚且贪生”，何况这些大牲口？它们沉默、发抖、流泪，不是傻，是无力回天的绝望。
五年下来，我这心态彻底翻了个个儿。刚入行那会儿年轻心硬，只当是谋生糊口的活儿，见多了也就麻木了。可干得越久，心越软，越觉得该存一份敬畏。走出屠宰场，我再也不糟蹋粮食，每一块肉背后都是一条热烈活过、恐惧过、挣扎过的命。它们从出生到落幕，没做错任何事，却坦然接受了既定的安排。反观咱们，衣食无忧平安顺遂，倒常常为鸡毛蒜皮纠结、为一点得失内耗，想想真有点滑稽。
所以你看，活着本身就是天大的福气。所有的矫情、焦虑、委屈，搁在生死面前，屁都不是。心存敬畏，懂得珍惜，善待万物，大概就是人这辈子最好的修行。说到这儿我倒想问问你——下次端起饭碗的时候，会不会也想起那些沉默发抖的生灵，然后觉得，眼前这口热乎饭，真香？

Siempre me llamó la atención la simbología detrás del cuadro más famoso de la Revolución Francesa
- La mujer desnuda, a la cabeza.
Francia, país que supo dar a luz a incontables líderes, hoy no es dirigida por un hombre recto y justo como Carlomagno, ni una mujer modesta como Juana de Arco. Su nuevo líder es una mujer quien no cuida ni de su propia desnudes
- El niño no con una, sino dos armas. El poder de matar en manos de un ser sin experiencia ni criterio formado, sus brazos hacen la clásica pose "as above so below", quien junto con los pechos desnudos de la mujer, recuerdan ligeramente a dos cualidades de Baphomet
- Los hombres en el fondo.
Papel secundario, cara de tontos, desorientados, sumisos.
Sus ojos no van al frente, ni al cielo, ni a sus compañeros caídos. Estos apuntan directamente a su nuevo líder, específicamente a sus pechos
- Otro hombre arrastrándose a los pies de la mujer, sin herida visible, parece estar rogando o admirando. Representando el papel del hombre arrastrado hacia la lujuria, algo que lamentablemente abunda cada vez más en nuestros días
- Los cadáveres en el suelo, uno desnudo, demostrando la crudeza de la batalla, otro con uniforme militar, demostrando la caída de la autoridad, en un principio terrenal y más adelante celestial
Toda esta lectura simbológica de carácter aparentemente satánico parece exagerada hasta que enumeramos lo que dicha "victoria" causó en la sociedad:
- Expropiaron todos los bienes de la Iglesia Católica
- Asesinaron a cientos de sacerdotes, fusilándolos o ejecutándolos con sables y picas
- Violaron y asesinaron a la princesa Lamballe, ultrajaron su cuerpo, y pasearon su cabeza por las calles clavada en una pica. Algunos de ellos intentaron obligar a que la reina Maria Antonieta bese los labios de la cabeza cercenada
- Asesinaron a 10.000 personas y 600 niños, atándolos, subiéndolos a barcas de noche y hundiéndolas en el rio. Fue utilizado como una burla al bautismo y por eso lo llamaron "bautismo civil"
- Ataron desnudas a varias parejas de hombres y mujeres y las arrojaron en el rio, lo conocían "matrimonio republicano" y también lo aplicaron emparejando a madres con hijos, padres con hijas y sacerdotes con monjas
- Asesinaron a 50.000 personas en sus famosas "columnas infernales", sin distinción de sexo o edad. En un solo día asesinaron a más de 100 niños menores de 7 años
- Encerraron a cientos de prisioneros y sacerdotes en bodegas de barcos, a quienes dejaron morir de hambre y hacinamiento, mientras les prohibían explícitamente rezar
- Torturaron a prisioneros, fugitivos y personas que se habían rendido, como los niños de Le Mans, a quienes los arqueólogos les encontraron fracturas en las piernas, mandíbulas y hombros por los golpes recibidos
- En total asesinaron a más de 200.000 personas, 3.000 sacerdotes y monjas y 40.000 niños
La revolución francesa fue uno de los períodos más oscuros en la historia de la humanidad, fue el desencadenante de muchos de los males que sufrimos en los últimos siglos, y dejó a Francia en su decadente estado actual, sin ser ni la sombra de lo que fue y estando cada día más lejos de Dios.

Because the Boomer Holy War, otherwise known as the Second World War, is the creation myth, the biblical Genesis, of the political world order we inhabit. History begins in 1945, Year Zero, when the Allied and Axis powers, the cosmic forces of absolute Good and Evil, clashed for dominion over the world.
What we call “Western Values” are the liberal American values of the postwar order: unregulated global capitalism, liberal democracy, individualism, civil rights, and equality. Three generations of men have been indoctrinated into this cult, which is ultimately a secularized heresy of Aristotelian humanist Christianity, repackaged as a universal moral doctrine.
Hitler has assumed the role of Satan, while some grotesque amalgamation of Winston Churchill and Martin Luther King Jr. occupies the throne of Jesus Christ. The Nazis are the defeated legions of Hell, and the Holocaust is the ultimate revelation of Evil against which all subsequent political and moral questions must be judged.
You’re not allowed to have nice things like community, traditional families, immigration restrictions, or any meaningful sense of national, ethnic, racial, or religious identity as a White person because any deviation from the sacred doctrines of the postwar consensus threatens to bring about Holocaust 2. To believe in any of these is to practice heresy. Racism is the ultimate heresy, and White guilt is origin sin, without a path to atonement.
The further removed each generation becomes from 1945, the weaker its attachment to this haphazard, pseudo religious worldview grows. In 13 years, an entire century will have passed since the outbreak of the Second World War.
The moralizing about the Holocaust, the obsessive fixation on stopping identity politics among native Westerners, the relentless insistence on feminism, diversity, and the ideological apparatus of the postwar order will resemble the exhausted dogmas of a dying secular religion whose founding revelation has lost its power over the living.
This is obvious as the materialistic promise of infinite growth and wealth has failed, and mass immigration, diversity and the third world are an existential threat to westerners who have no socioeconomic opportunities and a poor shot at family for formation.

If you wanted less "austerity" maybe you should've considered managing the population better. You can't bring in an influx of people who will increase demand for social services without contributing to their maintenance and then not see the system struggle with providing the same quality of social services. That immigration you love so much -- guess what -- it contributes to the "austerity" you hate so much. But you gotta have it both ways. Infinite immigration, infinite welfare. Well honey we don't have infinite money for infinite programs. You need to work within constraints, prioritize your interests, and so on. "Austerity." I notice you say words like that and yet never discuss hard numbers. Why do you never talk budgets, inputs and outputs? Just I WANT this I NEED this I DESERVE this. What're you actually contributing, hm? Literally what is the contribution? Quantify it.
