What if you had 20 minutes to live? A ballistic missile headed for Hawaii changes the lives of twelve people who discover they have 20 minutes to live.
Watch the powerful, exciting new film "20 MINUTES", a sensation at the Cannes Film Festival. The film will be released in selected cinemas in March 2022. You can watch it exclusively on EPOCH TV! There was so much interest in the film that wealthy people who own yachts in Cannes tried to bribe the organizers to get tickets. Let's hope the reality stays on the movie screen, but let's also each do something for it.

Russia started it with the occupation of Afghanistan and the assassination of the popular President Taraqi. When he spoke on TV, Afghans stood at attention in awe. The Russians may have built great roads in Afghanistan, but they were supposed to serve them too.
Et the time of Hanzelka and Zikmund, Afghanistan was a peaceful, hospitable country where centuries-old traditions were honored and women went without headscarves. What right did we have to interfere in their lives? Did they interfere in ours? We forced another culture, tradition and customs to interfere in our culture, tradition and customs too, in the interest of our own self-preservation. By what right? Did they interfere with ours first? Causes always have consequences. Today we are reaping the well-deserved fruits. The Arabs did not start it, but our "advanced" Western world, whose rampant consumerism and pursuit of profit at any cost, has stopped at nothing and will stop at nothing, as we see today.

Albert Einstein: „The problems that exist in the world cannot be solved by the level that created them.“
Thomas Bata: "Every human activity is always reflected in numbers in the end."

The programme was attractive and there was a lot to listen to all day long. The whole programme was videotaped by the ČTK (Czech Press Office). All the performances will eventually be on the Equlibria website. The conference programme can be found HERE. I took a FHOTOGALLERY with interesting quotes and graphs and a video of Prof. Miroslav Barta's presentation below, who joined from Egypt. No active politician was present. What was presented is a real government program that most voters would undoubtedly support. Below you will find audio recordings of the presentations of all participants (I missed only Stanislav Háša from the University of Economics in Prague). I particularly recommend the presentations of Peter Stanek, Sonia Jonášová, Miroslav Bárta, Martin Hausenblas, Libor Witassek, Zdeněk Souček, Ladislav Verner and the final discussion of the panelists. The spiritual father of Equlibrium, promoting the principles of the Bata system, Prof. Milan Zelený did not attend. He prefers to be active in the USA - the Czech Republic is too slow for him at this time of fundamental changes... Another public debate with national impact, which took place between four walls. Public Czech television has failed again...

Albert Einstein: „The problems that exist in the world cannot be solved by the level that created them.“

Mr President, Excellency, ladies and gentlemen,
In recent years, environmental protection has been replaced by the fight against climate change. The European Union is striving to achieve zero emissions by 2050, as set out in its Green Deal. The thirteen legislative proposals entitled 'Fit for 55' go much further than what the European Union has adopted and agreed.
Yet it is only the EU, with its roughly 9% share of global CO2 production, that wants to take the drastic step of reducing its carbon footprint. However, the EU cannot achieve anything without the participation of the biggest polluters, such as China and the US, which are responsible for 27 and 15 per cent of global CO2 emissions respectively.
Despite these facts, the European Commission continues to put forward dangerous proposals, such as the proposal to ban internal combustion engines in 2035 or to introduce emission allowances for transport and individual housing. Due to inappropriate legislation and speculation, the price of emission allowances has spiralled out of control, resulting in soaring electricity prices. As a result, and in the context of rapidly rising natural gas prices, driven mostly by power games between individual states, many Europeans may be at risk of energy poverty.

A fundamental question: The virus is constantly changing and is always one step ahead. Isn't it better to rely on the immune system, which is certainly better prepared to defend the body, than quickly produced and untested vaccines? Vaccination makes sense in the old where the IS is weakened, not in the young where it is at full strength. The damage done by various, opaque and confusing measures causes more material, health and psychological damage than the virus itself. Optimism strengthens the immune system. Fear-mongering and denial weaken it. Smiling is a higher level of intelligence, so let's smile. Smiles and optimism have much more power than vaccines and viruses. Smiling and humor is a kind of much needed courage today. J.Š.

We vaccinate against a virus that is already different from the one the vaccine was made for. If you've had Covid, there's no point in a second vaccination. Not every person who tests positive will infect someone. This is no longer a political issue, it's a philosophical one. People don't want the politicians they pay to lock them up at their discretion. They don't report the side effects of vaccinations and the number of vaccinees who tested positive, especially those not on the official list. Even people who do not have the necessary certifications are posing as epidemiologists, the license is granted by the MoH, not the CCH. The rising reproductive No. "R" with the falling infected makes no sense at all. The death rate shows how good our health care system is. Ours was very low throughout the epidemic than it was in neighboring states where 40% more people died. The mortality rate is not good (number of deaths per 100,000) who died from this diagnosis. This number was not good. This number shows the impact of anti-epidemiological measures. Singapore has been successful because it has carried out targeted measures unlike us. Vaccines block stronger immune system activity. It's time to treat Covid-19 as a common seasonal disease and we have treated it exactly the same as a common respiratory disease. It takes a lot of courage to be a scientist these days. We have capitalist health care at socialist prices. Message to politicians: Be brave, you don't need to hide behind a "central committee of experts" who run the show. Message to citizens: Don't succumb to depression and fear of illness, try to lead as normal a life as possible, incorporate as much contact with family and some type of sport into your life as possible.

According to Jiří Beran, the conditions are now in place for treating covida-19 as a seasonal respiratory disease. No blanket restrictions, no unnecessary scaremongering. This is what this expert says in a newly recorded video by the Conscience of the Nation Foundation.
"I think it's the wish of the people who are managing the epidemic that the epidemic never ends," says Prof. Jiri Beran, M.D., CSc., a world-renowned epidemiologist and vaccinologist, author of many award-winning publications, whose vaccination center has trained tens of thousands of people and who trains other doctors in epidemiology.
"Stop this absurd game and repeal the measures like the UK and Denmark. Give back the powers to doctors and county health officers and follow the same procedure as for any other virus epidemic. Because seasonal respiratory diseases are here to stay and we must learn to live with them," is his urgent appeal to the Czech government.

Business and social debate at the Tomáš Bat'a Memorial in Zlín. I recommend a great debate by people who call things and events by their real names and remind us how relevant the legacy of Tomáš Bat'a is (from the eighth minute). Bata was the largest Czechoslovak company and the seventh largest in the world. April 3 was the 145th anniversary of his birth. Below is an excerpt from the debate.
***
Tomas Bata: "My factories without people are just pieces of steel and concrete."
The young, newly-entered secretary did not greet Bata in the corridor before she reached the end of the corridor, she was unemployed - of strictness and character. "A man with a crooked character can't do a straight job."
Bata was an emotional company; it's not money that keeps it going, but the enthusiasm of the people. You can't give what you don't have. You can't appreciate yourself, you can't appreciate other people. It was Bata that taught people to find a relationship with themselves and to be able to give that to others. That's where Bata's service begins. It's not defined, it's something extra. It's a conscious perception of people, situations and life itself. It costs nothing, that's the beautiful thing about it, it's not connected to finances.

Who would have thought that in a country as developed as the US, we would encounter the typically socialist problem of a shortage of everything. It's a phenomenon so visible that the current president, until recently seen as a liberator from Trump's horror reign, has already been nicknamed "Joe Empty Shelves."
Commentator Derek Thompson offers an interesting explanation for the unprecedented phenomenon in the October issue of The Atlantic: The tricky part of the problem is that while the U.S. national economy is not currently experiencing a stagflationary slump similar to that of the 1970s. The country has clearly entered a phase of pandemic economics, where GDP is still seemingly growing but people are already suffering from shortages of a shocking number of goods. Starting with medicines, automotive parts, semiconductors, cargo ships, containers, and labor.

The book launch took place at the Convent of St. Agnes of Bohemia on 21 October 2021 at 6:00 pm under the auspices of the Karel Janeček Foundation against Corruption. On the YT-invitation, Nadine Strossen put it precisely: "The book deals with the large-scale problem of systematic racism and other forms of discrimination. I agree with that...and that's why I totally reject the solution that's being touted, that we're going to give that discriminatory system and those discriminatory people the power to make decisions based on their values and based on the values of the majority, and which views are going to be silenced."
I didn't see a representative of the public media? You can watch the entire book launch with input from Nadine Strossen from the US at this link (start from 27,45 min.). Unfortunately, due to traffic, I had to leave after her input was over. So I was unable to attend the discussion with the author of the book. Unfortunately, she is no longer part of the video recording. J.Š.
