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.

The President has been unable to fully perform his duties for months now, and has not played a key role at all in recent weeks and days. This is clear to the whole country, including the children. The castle gang, or rather the thugs who occupied it, continue to act shamefully. It is not its shame, but that of the citizens and their political representation. It has not been able to act rationally for weeks, only to theorize about all the possible and impossible, not to act rationally, timely and effectively. We are once again a laughing stock to the world. Let us not be surprised that even the German public broadcaster ARD did not find it worth mentioning on the main evening news programme Tagesschau 18.10.2021.
Nobody wants to say it out loud, that the life of the President is very likely to be coming to an end. Even if he leaves the hospital, he will certainly not be able to hold the office of President of the country. In the coming crisis and in the future, the country will need a president with full physical and mental fitness.

For the sake of overall understanding, let me recall the context and background that led to this absurd case:
I am the most punished citizen journalist in the EU for disseminating truthful information. Punished for freedom of speech and the public's right to information about public figures who have reduced protection of their privacy by law. In a developed country, my case would never have happened.
This truthful information was largely disseminated by the public media, especially the tabloid press, with hundreds of thousands of readers reading it. I have only commented on them and added new ones, when they have been read by an incomparably smaller number of readers, in the hundreds or thousands, on the website www.sinagl.cz

One crisis, the pandemic one, has passed, and there are already voices about an other crisis, the crisis of inputs. Perhaps we should think it over and stop to use the word crisis in this context. I have been saying for a long time that we are in a transformation. In short, there is a fundamental, I would say, tectonic change, similar to the one in 1928-1932.

Even then, someone called it a crisis, and people still talk about that period as a crisis. It was certainly not an easy time, and it had its crisis effects, but what was crucial? First of all, the profound transformation of the economy. That is what is happening now. The current situation is unsustainable, there have been major technical, technological and geopolitical changes, and at the same time the civilisation, especially our European civilisation, seems to have reached its peak. No prosperity lasts forever, and to think that we can maintain prosperity without doing anything about it, that others will do it for us, is an unworkable model. So where we are today, that is only the result of our long-term approach to solving problems.

Scientists corrode public trust when they pretend to have authority on social and political matters.
Medieval thinkers pretending to infallibility often claimed to have received a direct revelation from God. Since the 19th century, secular thinkers have invoked science. As Anthony Fauci said in June, “a lot of what you’re seeing as attacks on me, quite frankly are attacks on science.”…

People with a PhD are the most hesitant when it comes to getting the Covid-19 vaccine, according to a paper by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh.
Researchers surveyed just over five million US adults in an online survey, with 10,000 reporting that they were educated to PhD level. The report showed a surprising U-shaped correlation between willingness to get a Covid vaccine and education level - with the highest hesitancy among those least and most educated. Of those surveyed, 20.8 per cent with a high school education were reluctant to get the shot, and 23.9 per cent with a PhD were against it. But the least skeptical of the shot had a Master's degree - with only 8.3 per cent of that group being vaccine hesitant.

Vaccines currently are the primary mitigation strategy to combat COVID-19 around the world. For instance, the narrative related to the ongoing surge of new cases in the United States (US) is argued to be driven by areas with low vaccination rates [1]. A similar narrative also has been observed in countries, such as Germany and the United Kingdom [2]. At the same time, Israel that was hailed for its swift and high rates of vaccination has also seen a substantial resurgence in COVID-19 cases [3]. We investigate the relationship between the percentage of population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases across 68 countries and across 2947 counties in the US.
