“All ballistic missiles, Tu-160 and Tu-95 strategic bombers were also handed over,” said General Skibitsky. “Now, they are using Kh-55 missiles against us with these bombers. It would be better if we handed them over to the U.S.A.”

The missiles, returned to Russia in the 1990s under an agreement aimed at assuring Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, have shown up in rubble.
KYIV, Ukraine — Shortly after a large wave of Russian missiles slammed into targets across the country in October, Ukraine’s intelligence officials noticed something strange in the rubble.

EU court rules. Google must not disseminate false information.n essence, George Orwell's vision of controlling individuals and controlling them completely is almost fulfilled. Only few people realise it. People think less and less. Thanks to digital technology, a few individuals can easily control their thinking and behaviour. Unwittingly, people do what is expected or demanded of them. It is a threat to human nature, a diversion from real, fulfilling life. If one does not defend oneself, one ceases to be human. He will be a necessary "part" in the game of the powerful, who will never have enough power and money. Nature has always intervened when man's basic instinct for self-preservation has failed. JŠ

The longing for love, the search for knowledge and the unbearable pity for the suffering of humanity. These passions, like a strong wind, drove me to and fro, on a restless course, across a great ocean of anxiety, reaching to the very brink of despair.
First, I sought love because it brings ecstasy - an ecstasy so great that I would often sacrifice the rest of my life for a few hours of this pleasure. I sought it because it alleviates loneliness - that terrible loneliness in which one trembling consciousness looks over the edge of the world into a cold unfathomable soulless abyss. I sought it also because in the union of love I saw, in mystical miniature, a prefigurement of the heaven imagined by saints and poets. This is what I was looking for, and though it may seem too good for human life, this is what I have - at last - found.

After twelve years of public service, "Comrade Computer" decided to remove me. The formal application of law, reigns supreme even at Google. The decision was "made" and sent in minutes... Hundreds of my videos have irretrievably disappeared - the bailiff Mgr. Jan Beneš from Prague, in violation of the law, confiscated not only my computers, but also a backup disk containing 30 years of my work...
Basically, this is the result of many complaints about videos posted by me, where the public's right to information about public affairs and public persons was literally "trampled into the ground." The fight for freedom of speech and the public's right to information will continue. In war, sometimes battles are lost, but in the ongoing war for free speech, common sense and good morals, we will win! There is no other way if human life is to have meaning and "advanced" civilization has any hope of surviving the current unnaturalness of thought, behavior and action. A life built only on mindless material existence is no life at all if it is not built on moral values. We must each do our part - for our own sake and for the sake of future generations.
A very hopeful Christmas and a happy New Year to all people of good will and who have not yet abandoned common sense.

"No, don't put the whole thing in there, lest we politically damage our way elsewhere," Prima TV's lawyer Mikešová, the right-hand woman of CEO Mark Singer, interjects in a report to go on air tonight. The report is about a text message from the then prime minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) - about his comments on the domestic carrier Smartwings in connection with the drawdown of billions in subsidies from the COVID programme. One sentence from the former prime minister reveals the TV station's dealings with government politicians at the start of the pandemic outbreak.
Like Prime Minister Babiš's letter to America, this censored part of the statement contained a crucial piece of information: that Prima TV itself and its management were probably violating very strict anti-video measures. At a time when the government is imposing a severe lockdown and state of emergency on the country's population, it is in the interests of the Prime Minister and his coalition partner, Jan Hamáček, to break the conditions and get the CNN Prima News media project off the ground as quickly as possible, in the interests of the hundreds of millions of dollars invested in the CNN Prima News media project.

In social media, we are no longer clients, but a mining resource. We are mined for private psychological data, which is then sold on to marketers and propagandists. During the covid, alternative nutritional product manufacturers invested two billion dollars in developing Antivax groups on social media to make their products more marketable. Psychological data from these groups told marketers that these products sell best among people who don't believe in vaccinations and modern medicine. So they took that data, targeted that sample of people, and amplified it through marketing to make it grow. In the end, the data was used by Russia to create a bigger pandemic. All the Antivax groups on FB seamlessly switched to vilifying Ukrainians this spring. All the analytical reports show it. Those people went there in good faith to seek alternative medical advice and ended up in the hard core of Russian propaganda (from social media 3.12.2022).

In LN (24.11.2022), I read an article by Jana Soprová "An unpleasant but all the more important memory", a theatre publicist, and I couldn't help wondering. The performance of "Stavovské národu" - the only performance on 18.11.2022... It is clear that we can not only realize the mischief, but also to remind as little as possible - even after 102 years! It does not say anything nice about our character. If we are unable to admit our own failures, let us not be surprised that we continue to fail.
I visited the Estates Theatre in the belief that I would get the book "Stavovské to the Nation", too. I was referred to the ND shop in the former THEMOS building. They had the last two copies there. One was given to me, as well as to visitors. The book is about how the Estates Theatre became part of the National Theatre called "Estates to the Nation!". It was published in 1991 in the 1st edition. The number of copies is not stated, the 2nd edition was not published. The book cannot be purchased. Too bad, it would be enlightening even today. The behaviour of the Czech society and politicians of that time is not much different from today.
Czech plebeianism, provincialism and petty bourgeoisie were warned against by K. H. Borovský, F. Palacký, TGM and A. Švehla. They would also warn us today - that is why the world does not take us too seriously, even today...

Fauci, the director National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since 1984 and President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, was deposed by Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, both Republicans.
“It was amazing, literally, that we spent seven hours with Dr. Fauci—this is a man who single-handedly wrecked the U.S. economy based upon ‘the science, follow the science.’ And over the course of seven hours, we discovered that he can’t recall practically anything dealing with his COVID response,” Landry told The Epoch Times after leaving the deposition. “He just said, ‘I can’t recall, I haven’t seen that. And I think we need to put these documents into context,'” Landry added.
“It was extremely troubling to realize that this is a man who advises presidents of the United States and yet couldn’t recall information he put out, information he discussed, press conferences he held dealing with the COVID-19 response,” Landry added later.

Germany's footballers had courage but succumbed to their cowardly leadership. Will anyone else find the courage? Tomáš Etzler: "The corrupt FIFA leadership will not rule forever. FIFA has been behaving like a criminal organisation run by corrupt gangsters for very many years."
To hold the World Cup at a time when children and civilians are dying in Ukraine, when it is fighting for its freedom and for the preservation of its moral values and those of the Western world, is a calling card for the moral decay of the world. That Germany lost to Japan is not surprising - the fighting spirit and the necessary commitment have been eroded.
Let us remember the brave Věra Čáslavská and her protest at the Mexico 1968 Olympic Games, when she reminded the whole world of the criminal Russian occupation of Czechoslovakia. Money destroys the spirit of sport and with it the necessary moral and ethical values. Without them, freedom and a developed society cannot exist on a sustainable basis and will gradually collapse. Material misery will inevitably follow, if material values are the highest priority at all costs.
The article The Wilderness will swallow 220 billion (LN 24.11.2022), describes it exactly. The stadiums and infrastructure in Qatar were built with petrodollars, with the labour and skill of others. When cars run on hydrogen, perhaps Qatar will become a wilderniss again. It has already become that moral of "wilderness and desolation".
I am in favour of the equality of all before the law, without distinction of race, culture and faith, but I am also in favour of preserving the nature of man and woman, which alone can create a good family and be the pillar of society. Once it is violated, it will not end well. JŠ

In the matter with Dr. Jana Chaloupková, I personally informed both Senator Pavel Fischer, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, as well as Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský and the Pirates. They know, they do not act, although they could and should. The one who covered up this immorality, former State Secretary at the Czech Foreign Ministry Miroslav Stašek, was appointed as the new Czech Ambassador to the USA for a "reward". Who has so much power that he has silenced the media and the opposition, which is obediently silent? Is President Miloš Zeman the obedient executor of the will of the arms industry? Let the citizen make up his own mind.
There is a statue of Václav Havel in the US Congress as an example to the world and a reminder of his legacy. Is it in the Czech Parliament? There was once a statue of Karel Kryl there, but it has been removed. JŠ
