The German Green Party Thinks Patriotism Is an Illness


The epitome of spiritual disease in the West is displayed by certain segments of German society, who actually feel that the love of their own culture and identity is something evil to be wiped out

German AntiFa and Anti-Deutsche (Anti-Fascist and Anti-German – radical left political alignment in Germany, whose members support the state of Israel and American foreign policy) recently decided to steal all football souvenirs that have the colors black-red-gold (German flag) – flags, hats, T-shirts etc. People should go to France and cleanse the stadiums of German symbols. An especially eager reader even suggested seizing all the flags – no nation should show patriotic symbols.

If you still think that only red-colored fascists are demonstrating, this propensity to violence and othering, you're mistaken. The Rheinland Palatinate’s Grüne Jugend (GJ, Green Youth – German youth organization, linked to the German green political party; GJ is an extremist leftwing and favors, among others, legalization of drugs, use of free software, homosexual rights and the legalization of incest) recently posted a picture on Facebook, calling on football-fans to take down their flags, because "patriotism equals nationalism“.

An enlightening remark follows: “Nationalism is a form of patriotism. When you consider yourself patriotic, you’re excluding others. Patriotism definitely has and impact and clear consequences, especially if it develops into an aggressive form, stigmatizing others as enemies. That is why we call all fans of the European Football Championship to leave no space for nationalistic ideas! Football-fans – take down your flags!“

On the picture, nationalism is identified with patriotism, but at the same time the comment states, that nationalism is only a form of patriotism. Are there two forms – a good and a bad one, like there's consumption and addiction to alcohol? Is this a valid objection? Definitely not.

  from Green Youth believes she has an answer: “Even the many people who reject AfD (Alternative für Deutschland – Alternative for Germany, a right-wing populist and Eurosceptic political party in Germany), would easily wave the German flag“.

You don't even need alcohol to make harmless consumption (patriotism) evolve into destructive addiction (nationalism). It seems that Green Youth definitely consists of professional, ass-kicking psychologists. That’s why Mrs. Sammet relies on her proper understanding of national sentiments: “Patriotism and nationalism are offered a huge public space in Berlin with its “Fan Mile“ and numerous public viewings. Supermarkets are stuffed with Germany-merchandise, and roads and balconies are crammed with national flags. It gives you a queasy feeling.“ (1).

Having “queasy feelings“ while having no notion of anything is, of course, an outstanding political principle. The main threat, however, is not patriotism, but rather enslavement through the global market or in the EU, where people you haven’t voted for, issue binding laws and regulations. And this doesn’t give Mrs. Sammet her “queasy feeling“ by a long shot. There is, nonetheless, one thing, that (still) distinguishes Green Youth from "Indymedia“: they (still) don't call for criminal action, thanks to the remains of democracy they inherited.

COMMENT
If these Greens and 'anti-fa' individuals actually believe any of this self-erasing nonsense, then their  stupidity bears testimony to the power of media propaganda and academic indoctrination.

There is no alternative to nationalism:  it's nationalism or destruction of ancestral heritage, loss of inalienable right and title as a people of the same historic, biological and cultural identity and heritage, the loss of historic land/territory, and  otherwise the manifestation of vast, unsustainable cultural and other vandalism, destruction and loss, on what is a path to certain oblivion as a people.

Failure to apprehend and preserve one's identity will have tragic consequences for Europeans.
THAT THE nation of Israel was established ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED & SEVENTY-EIGHT (1,878) YEARS after the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD by the Romans, shows the importance of:

1)   differentiation/distinction as a people;
2)   unity as a distinct people;
3)   distinct spiritual identity of a people;
4)   distinct cultural identity of a people;
5)   importance of territory (land) of a people;
6)   traditions of a people;
7)   exclusive self-determination as a people; and
8)   security as a people.


The above are just some of the basics that I can initially think of.  It's not everything.  There's much, much more.

To me, nationalism and patriotism are one and the same.
Either you are a patriot / nationalist or you are not, in terms of supporting that which is in favour of the vital interests of your own kind (or not) — and this is completely divorced of economic interests. 
It doesn't matter how healthy your economy (or the world economy) is, if you no longer have a heritage, culture, nation or a people.
It doesn't matter how 'progressive' you are, if you act to destroy your own ancestral heritage and your own people.  Your pious 'progress' is a destructive LIE.
What counts in terms of nationalism isn't the display and the state theatre:  the kind of nationalism that interests me is practical nationalism that manifests itself in policy, laws, protection, preservation, secure borders etc.  
There is no half way measure:  either you acknowledge and take steps to preserve your distinct identity and your distinct heritage, or you do not.
However, there are many reasons that people are not on the same page in this regard.

Appeal to Kim Jong-un From Western Open-Air Prison




Planet Tokyo

Appeal to Kim Jong-un From Western Open-Air Prison

Totally jacked off.  That seems to be my default state, more and more.

Tried to load my video edit here on Blogger (for like the third consecutive shot), but was unable to do so, as the video is in excess of 200 megabytes and the limit on Blogger is 100 mb or something like that.

Wanted to sign up for Yandex, as they have video hosting, I believe.   But Yandex want my phone number.

WTF for?  What is this, world-wide totalitarian surveillance in force?

Decided it might be a good time to put that throw-away mobile phone voucher to use, at last.  I was supposed to use it to sign back onto the Twitter account I've been shut out of, but I have an aversion to being held to ransom for my phone number, and I've an aversion to censorship in general, so I'm not playing with the Twitter assh*les ... and I've shut down the stand-by on principle, although I'm sometimes tempted to sign on again ... but there's a whole other story in that.  It looks as though I cannot sign up for the Twitter FRAUD & CENSORSHIP lies and propaganda promoting corporate and overnment controlled public communication 'social media' platform without giving them a phone number, which I won't do.

So, anyway, I think to myself, why not put that throw-away SIM to use and sign up for the Yandex video hosting, so I can get my video edit up online, without having to put it through YouTube, which I'm not fond of hooking up to, along with anything else to do with Google and their data-sucking scams.  It's bad enough that I'm here.  I really should be on Russia's VK, or somewhere.  But maybe I'd be too radical for the Russians?  LOL

Yandex seemed the shot for video hosting, and I really don't care what information Russians have.  I'd sooner be spied on by Russians than Google, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

It appears that I live in a totalitarian open air prison.

Tried to validate the pre-paid SIM card I had, so that I could sign up for Yandex and upload my video.  But validating the pre-paid card is no go without providing a massive amount of personal data:  name, address, phone number, e-mail, and formal identification numbers (such as medical number, licence number, passport number and so forth).

The card *is* pre-paid.  As such, I would argue that the telecommunications provider  is breach of contract by accpting consideration while subsequently denying service.  Where are the lawyers?  How about a big class action claim, ambulance chasers?  Where the f*ck is my service and why should I provide all this personal data, as if I were under arrest?

At the end of the day, it's not like I'm not traceable.  I did not bother to VPN or to TOR, so it's not like I cannot be found if I must be found.  

That being so, what the f*ck is this totalitarian prison camp demand for all this PRIVATE data, just to be able to set up a phone number on which to get verification codes to activate video hosting and social media accounts on an anonymous basis, rather than giving my private data on a platter to those that simply do not need my personal data, or to hackers (in due course).

Tried to put through the pre-paid SIM on a totally phony basis, which drove me up the wall, trying to make up names, a fake birthday, having to set up a throw-away e-mail, having to search for a phony street address, having to make up a fake telephone contact number, and, finally, having to devise a fake driver's licence number.

It does my head in just making up one creative anonymous user-name for things, let alone all the faking and note-taking involved in that exercise, so that I could keep track of the garbage I was making up.

It turns out that you can't even set up a fake account to activate your PRE-PAID SIM because these communications carrier kapo have a direct link to what is government information and soon reject fake formal verifiable IDs, although they accepted my fake look-up address as 'verified'.  LMAO

The solution, then, would be just to make up an account using real data of a real person, but I'm not up for entering into ID theft or whatever that would constitute.

As criminals would have no such qualms, what exactly is the point of the government raping ordinary citizens who simply want privacy?  What's going on here?  Why are we in prison? 

I just wanted to upload my 'Samurai Project' video to Yandex video hosting, on an anonymous basis ... well, as anonymous as you can be without bothering to mask one's ISP address.

Once done, I couldn't delete my fake e-mail account, because the controls aren't obvious in the Russian service I used.  What's wrong with site designers?  Why would they make it hard to find a 'delete account' button and leave their service full of fake and disused e-mail addresses?

Intended to delete and then to set up something a bit more sensible than the fake account I sort of just bashed out off the top of my head, but now I'm too frazzled to cope with more fake names for anonymous accounts that aren't really anonymous, and I don't fancy being stuck with an ugly sounding e-mail or Russian social media account name.

North Korea or China ought to help us Western prisoners out by hosting fully anonymous services for Westerners that are sick of being spied on and private data raped.  C'mon, Kim, stick it to the US-Anglo prison warders.  LOL

As I've skipped a night's sleep engrossed in more video editing, I'm not feeling so good after the video upload saga, followed by the SIM card activation citizen prisoner's nightmare.  I'm really wired, in a very unpleasant way.

I'm supposed to cook, but I don't know how I'll get on doing that.  Aside from being extremely wired, I'm sort of zombied out and too agro to really want to, even though I must.

This sounds strange, but it also sounds rather appealing to me:  we're having Rissoles in Stroganoff Sauce.  If I can get my sh*t together enough to make it.   


We're arguing now, because I'm being hassled to cook and I'm not quite done.  The parting shot to me was:  "I hope you get arrested."  

No solidarity among prisoners here.  LOL

Wonder if closed prisons have faster internet?




Waiting




Waiting ... Waiting ... Waiting

Spent forever editing a video project.

Now I'm spending forever waiting for it to upload to Blogger.

To find out progress, I have to install an add-on to Firefox browser, which is ridiculous.  This shouldn't be an optional extra:  it's vital to sanity to know what's going on.

Crashed at one point, so this is my second try at uploading and it's sending me bananas waiting, as well as not knowing progress.

I might have to crash out and let it run for as long as it takes.

What a crap internet speed I must be on.

Checking out the news annoys me as much as waiting for my upload.

Those that didn't get their own way in the BREXIT vote are now petitioning for another referendum and Nicola Sturgeon is all for a second referendum.

The thoughts I have on the subject and on Sturgeon are best left unpublished.

Every time I look at the news, I long to live under a like-minded dictatorship that is completely the opposite of  the shambles that is the West.

RT News reports:

"... large groups of 18- to 25-year-olds who voted to remain in the EU gathered outside Parliament and at Downing Street protesting the results of the referendum and the strict border policy. "

Why are they even giving these morons a vote?

Please, Britain, ship off the open borders d*ckheads to Saudi Arabia for some cultural enrichment.

Thank f*ck, my video has finally loaded.  I've had all I can take of the news and of waiting for this to load.

It must have been at least a half-hour of pissing me off no end.

I've got all sorts of things disabled on this computer, so when I publish the video project, I'll not even know if it's viewable or not.

Oh, well.  I've got a copy I can look at on this terminal.
Jesus, it still hasn't loaded.  Don't know what made me think it was done.  How f*cking long can it possibly take to load something that is 4:45 minutes????????
Installed add-on.  But I can't use it without restarting the PC.  So now I can leave this thing running or I can shut down and try for the third time, after the add-on's been installed.  Think I might let it run while I sleep.  This is so sh*t.   I hate Firefox.   I want another browser.

[After all of that and the f*cking wait that went on and on and on and on, I'm not even sure my project is worth posting.]

kaishakunin is called 'kaishaku' ('nin' is person)
suicide ritual agent spared prolonged death

ritual is preserved in modern martial art:  iaido
ritual varies, depending on fencing school
all have steps in common:
1.  sit or stand close enough with katana to strike
2.  if seated, movements are ritualised
3.  when samurai performs seppuku he returns tanto dagger back to its place

kaishakunin
uses katana to strike back of neck
of dying samurai

Katana double handed grip for:
  • precision & strength to cut

movement known as:  chiburi

katana returned to scabbard (movement called noto)
while kneeling towards samurai corpse
remains kneeling position as sign of deep respect to samurai
in state of zanshin (total awareness)
before standing & bowing to samurai corpse

Execution
Seppuku - some rituals no disembowelment
just movement of dagger, stick or fan across stomach
followed by beheading
kaishakunin then becomes execution & seppuku becomes beheading
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaishakunin


jigai = suicide

modern Japanese for suicide:  jisatsu

[ALL SAMURAI INFO FROM WIKIPEDIA]



Last Samurai
Samurai Class Abolished 1867




I'm liking all this samurai stuff. 

It seems brave and admirable, but I don't think I'd make a good samurai. 

I couldn't do the seppuku and I'd probably run away if attacked, but it must be really exhilarating to handle beautiful weapons quickly and effectively.

Not sure how much samurai info I'll remember.  Don't yet have a feel for Japanese. The names of things are difficult for me.

But I'll remember:   katana.


Normally, I don't drink (even socially) ... which is just as well, because alcohol and me is not a good mix.

Felt like I drink today, when I saw one being cracked open.  Looked inviting, and I like bubbles. 

Having an Asahi Breweries beer (apparently, one of 4 largest Japanese brewers, founded in Osaka in 1889).  

Tastes very light, even to a non-drinker.  Nice, though.  
I'd planned to watch a heap of videos, but I'm not sure I can catch up with everything I want to watch.

Attention span isn't what it should be; I can only handle small bits of info ... and I like pictures a lot.  LOL

Dinner's easy, so it doesn't matter if I wind up pissed:  Thai Chicken Green Curry pre-cooked (frozen).  Just need rice and it's good to go after defrost and heat, and dollop of my fabulous home-made yoghurt. 


Investigative Journalist, John Pilger: US Preparation for Conflict - China on High Alert




HIGH ALERT: CHINA
Response to US Aggresssion
John Pilger on the Threat of World War Three (Going Underground)


SUMMARY (BASIC)

John Pilger on the Threat of World War Three (Going Underground)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahEdcuxlN1o

AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES
  • Classically America-first populist in  Donald Trump
  • or the absolute embodiment of the system that has run seamlessly since 1945 (Hillary Clinton)

Sanders
- voted to destroy Yugoslavia
- voted to put Edward Snowden on trial
- called Hugo Chávez (Venezuela) a dictator

Pilger:

Let's get the quote exactly right.  He was asked about Chávez and he called Chávez a "dead communist dictator"

Pilger:

I don't think there's anything in Senator Sanders' foreign policy that offers any encouragement to any of us.

[...]

Sanders has offered health care to the only developed country that doesn't have a proper healthcare system.

He wants to do something about the barons of Wall Street.  Good luck.  He's not going to be president.

Pilger

US is in a frenzy of preparation for a conflict of some kind.

Conflict of some kind can lead to war of the real kind, against:

  • China & against Russia, on two fronts
RUSSIA
Greatest (US-led) build-up of forces since WWII has happened in Eastern Europe and in the Baltic States.


US expansion & military preparation HAS NOT BEEN REPORTED IN THE WEST

UKRAINE
Since the US paid for for & controlled US coup in that country
Ukraine has become an American preserve
CIA Theme Park
  • - CIA are all over it
  • - special forces are all over it
  • - American business is all over it
  • - Joe Biden's son is appointed to various Ukraine fracking companies

Full American interest has gone to a country that is Russia's borderland
through which the Germans invaded the Soviet Union in the early 1940s
with the cost of something like 27 million lives

Imagine the equivalent in the US:  the border with Mexico, the border with Canada

  • Refers to Russia's cuban situated missiles which almost resulted in WWIII

The USA, which constitutionally has the freest media in the world, these war preparations against Russia and against China HAVE NOT BEEN MENTIONED.

When China is mentioned, it's about China's 'aggressive moves' in the South China Sea.

It's interesting how the public is being primed to accept so-called 'aggressive' moves by China
WHEN, IN FACT, THEY'RE CLEARLY DEFENSIVE MOVES


USA MILITARY BASES THREAT
  • The United States has something like 400 major bases encircling China, starting in Australia, going through Asia, Japan & Korea
  • Looking at Shanghai is Okinawa, which has 32 American military installations
  • Japan has 130 in all

Okinawa is about the size of Long Island

Imagine Long Island as a Chinese base, looking straight at New York; that's the equivalent

Reporter

Do you think multinational corporations and Wall Street would allow -- they haven't allowed a full-scale war from President Obama against Beijing and surely ...

Pilger:

I don't know.  ... China is America's first trading partner.  It is a trading partner.

Most of the things that Americans wear are made in China.  ... China has almost replaced Japan in that sense:  the great manufacturing centre of the world.

America has this close business relationship with China. 

I don't know, is the answer to that.

... What I think is interesting and dangerous, and I don't think it's been recognised is the ascendency of military thinking -- the Pentagon in Washington. 


Recently, the State Dept. broke its silence on this and said to the Defence Dept:  let us handle the diplomacy, let us handle the relations with countries, you do the military side of things (paraphrasing)

... an extraordinary outburst coming from an official in the state department, where there is great frustration about this ubiquitous power now of the military,

and this seems to be embodied in this Defence Secretary Ashton Carter, who seems to go from conference to conference -- G7; now he's gone to Singapore threatening countries.

TRUMP
  • Trump has said he doesn't want to go to war with China or with Russia.
  • Trump wonders why America is all over the world.  He wonders about the power of NATO.
  • This is 'heresy'.

(As at 4 June 2016) -

US has sent guided missile ships in last two weeks into disputed zone in South China Sea

For the first time Chinese fighter jets were scrambled; a week or so later, an American spy plane was intercepted by planes.

So many wars begin accidentally, or by mistake.

We had one of America's leading and most interesting generals, James Cartwright, talk about this recently.


DANGER OF PREEMPTIVE NUCLEAR STRIKES

James Cartwright talked about the 'hair trigger system', which now gives the leaders of the country (ie USA), really minutes, in which to decide whether they will launch a pre-emptive nuclear attack or whether they will respond to a pre-emptive nuclear attack.

... at a conference in Virginia, former U.S. Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. James Cartwright acknowledged that "there's the potential that you could, in fact, generate a scenario where, in a bolt from the blue, we launch a pre-emptive attack and then use missile defense to weed out" Russia's remaining missiles launched in response. "We're going to have to think our way out of this," he said. "We're going to have to figure out how we're going to do this." [2013 Source]

HAIR-TRIGGER ALERT 
roots in Cold War

CHINA - ON HIGH ALERT

One of the most worrying aspects is that China clearly has taken on-board that CHINA IS BEING SERIOUSLY THREATENED.

Up to now China has kept it's nuclear weapons have been kept on low alert:  that is, the weapon and the warhead have been kept separately. 

Whereas, the US and Russia have always kept their nuclear weapons on high alert. 

The literature that's available now suggests that China is on NUCLEAR HIGH ALERT.

Just last week (circa 4 June 2016), Chinese submarines armed with nuclear weapons went on patrol in the Pacific for the first time.

NONE OF THIS IS EVEN MENTIONED

BREXIT CLUB




Might have to watch some of this tomorrow.

I'm listening to an RT News interview with John Pilger, that's discussing the preparation of US war against Russia and China.


I couldn't resist taking a peek.

The LSE guy on the sofa seems interesting.  Good so far.

Audio's a bit hard to listen to, but it improves at the 0:4:25 mark, some commenter says.

I've never watched anything this long.  Not sure I'll get through all of this.  

Someone needs to cut this up and post the good bits.

BREXIT - European Arrest Warrant (EAW) Scrapped?

WikiLeaks: Brexit Scrapping European Arrest Warrant Against Assange

​Europe
11:09 24.06.2016


The United Kingdom's decision to exit the European Union means that the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) against founder and editor-in-chief of the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks Julian Assange should be scrapped, the website said Friday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On Thursday, the United Kingdom held a referendum to determine whether or not the country should leave the European Union. According to the final results, 51.9 percent of voters, or 17.4 million people, decided to support Brexit, while about 16.1 million opposed it.


    #Brexit means the scrapping of the European Arrest Warrant used as the excuse to detain Assange without charge in the UK for 5.5 years
    — WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) 24 июня 2016 г.


The EAW is a warrant that is valid through all members of the European Union.

Assange launched the WikiLeaks website in 2006. Since then, the site has released millions of classified diplomatic documents from around the world on espionage practices, war crimes, torture and many other human rights violations.

Assange has been residing at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London since 2012 out of fear of being extradited, first to Sweden where he has been accused of sexual assault, and ultimately to the United States where he could face espionage charges for publishing secret documents through his website.

Wow, this is exciting.
Assange could be free soon!
Looks like I'll have to find another US target?
Wonder how Viktor Bout's getting along? ;)

The way this displays in my browser is leaving me feeling like I'm on acid. LOL

Everything looks really strange, no matter how I adjust. I'm not sure what I've done to the display, but I'm finding it hard to feel 'at home'.

If I lean right back in the chair and look at this from a long distance, the display looks totally different.

Wonder if the Blogger programmers have done something to their templates? Everything looks too vertically stretchy (spacey) when published. 

I don't like it.

Just viewed the codes again.  It's not me.  It's Blogger.  It keeps throwing up autocodes I don't want.  Apart from the annoyance factor of having to edit out the crap codes to get the display I want, it's a relief.  Thought I'd been hacked or something.  LOL

Tried to find a remedy, but I'm not sure what this Blogger auto code insertion thingy is called.

Not sure if it's the HTML options.  As in, maybe it should be set to 'Show HTML literally' versus 'Interpret typed HTML'.  I don't know the difference.  The explanations don't help.


 This is really annoying.
