"The cause of the crisis is moral misery. The turning point of the economic crisis? I don't believe in any turning points per se. What we used to call economic crisis is another name for moral misery. Moral misery is the cause, economic decline is the effect. There are many people in our country who believe that economic decline can be remedied by money. I dread the consequence of this error. In the position we are in, we do not need any ingenious turns and combinations. We need moral positions on people, on work and on public property. Not to support bankrupts, not to run up debts, not to throw away values for nothing, not to extort the workers, to do what has lifted us out of post-war misery, to work and save, and to make work and saving more profitable, more desirable and more honest than idleness and waste. You are right, there is a crisis of confidence to be overcome, but it cannot be overcome by technical interventions, financial and credit interventions; confidence is a personal matter and confidence can only be restored by moral considerations and personal example." Tomáš Baťa
P.S. The basis of everything is quality upbringing and education. It generates the true elite and pulls the country along if it is represented in the crucial places in the country. Karel Diviš decided to run because he had no one to vote for. JŠ

I remind you that the president of Slovakia, Zuzana Čaputová, was elected only thanks to a month-long ban on promoting candidates before the election. She was elected by the voters, not by the media, otherwise she would have had no chance.
How to choose a president - Probably the first question every voter should answer is: "Does the person I choose to vote for live for politics or does he live off politics?" The answer is obvious, because once democratically elected politicians succumb to the desire to make money from politics, either directly or by obtaining subsidies or exceptional status, they threaten its very purpose. A great politician, according to Hegel, is recognized by the fact that he does not promote his own ideas, but grasps ideas that are already in the world in an indistinct form and promotes them. Identifying these people, while not looking for the whitest spotless angel in a marketing quagmire of deceitful lies, gibberish praise and phantasmagorical promises, is exactly what democracy demands of a responsible citizen who goes to the polls.
Unfortunately, there are still plenty of voters who are affected by the current media election campaign.

On 30 December 1922, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was established. This is a subject so vast, complex and comprehensive that it would make hundreds of articles or dozens of books. Therefore, today's article will be different from the others. It will be a reflection based on facts.
When Pyotr Struve recalled his first meeting with Lenin, he mentioned that Ilyich had almost no character traits. His only trait was hatred, which literally oozed from him. In Struve's words: "... it was repulsive and terrible, stemming from hard, almost animal emotions and disgust. It was cold, like Lenin himself."
The Great October Socialist Revolution and the formation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics are not only the greatest tragedy of the 20th century, but probably the greatest tragedy in human history. The rise of the Bolsheviks to power in one country condemned a hundred million people to death all over the world.

"May this year be the year of returns, the return of our people, the return of soldiers to their families, the return of our territories. Do you wish for miracles? Ukrainians have been doing them long enough. Do you want real friends? We have already known for sure who they are. The light is in all of us - even without electricity. You want adventure and travel? Ukrainians have too much of that now! So today it's just one wish. And it won't happen by miracle, but by our work. By struggle. By helping each other. By humanity. Happy New Year! In the year of our victory! Glory Ukraine! Ukrainians are surprising. The Ukrainians are applauded. Ukrainians inspire. Happy New Year!“

Recall what Putin said a year ago in his New Year's speech! - From the U.S. Embassy in Prague Twitteru feed. I wonder why the entire New Year's greeting from the President of Ukraine is not in the Czech media...?! Full Full text in Czech.
The flags of Ukraine, the USA and the Czech Republic have been flying on my former house (seized by a bailiff for freedom of speech) for almost a year now. JŠ

That's how I started my New Year's greeting last year. I didn't think this madness could be elevated.
After two years of hiding our smiles behind the walls of our cloaks, waging war on covid and all its attendant social phenomena, the real war has arrived. And not somewhere on the other side of the world, but right on the doorstep of our homes. We had become accustomed to a quiet life that lulled us into a state of "everything is fine" and, more importantly, "nothing can happen to us“. It can!!! As so many times in the history of mankind, all it takes is one man with his power interests and everything is turned on its head.
The Christmas season is supposed to be a time to celebrate the birth of Christ, and near beyond our borders people are dying needlessly. It is supposed to be a time of calm and our minds are in turmoil. It is supposed to be a preparation for a new and better year and we are worried about the future, worried about the fate not only of ourselves but of all humanity.
