Absolutely. I grew up a few kilometers away from a Tibetan monastery in Switzerland. There was a large amount of Tibetan refugees there too. They were present at markets and fairs, advocating for their case. But there I also found the critics, who told me another story about Tibet and the ruling system. These critics just wanted a different Tibet, but didn't like the Chinese presence there.
At the end I think the present Dalai Lama is just another useful tool for the western agenda and I'm not sure if he realises that, living in his own bubble, having all these advisors around him.

This is pure gold and will be difficult to top (until the next 🤡🌎, of course).
Dalai Lama is arguing that his reincarnation should be determined by a tax-exempt Swiss foundation incorporated in Zurich, Switzerland.
Beijing insists on maintaining the traditional centuries-old Golden Urn selection process.

"A Call for Revolution of Consciousness for the New Dawn of Humanity
...
The Fall of The Empire of Lies is the New Dawn of Humanity"
Beautifully written article by The Frontier Man. American poet, writer, musician, and visual artist.
"When the European Union opts to say something about the occupied West Bank, it habitually “recalls” that Israel’s settlements violate international law.
The recollection rituals have so far yielded scant results. Just four individual settlers and two organizations branded “extremist” have been subjected to EU sanctions.
By categorizing a small number of settlers as “extremist,” the EU is implying that the remainder are reasonable or moderate. Some are even welcome in the corridors of power."
"For those who would defend the free market ideology and excuse its failing as a consequence of human corruption and weakness of the structures of society, I’d warn them that this was exactly how Marxists explained away the failures of communist utopia. The theory is awesome, it’s the damn people who can’t get it right!"

New report on situation in Gaza by the impeccable Francesca Albanese is out.
The UN Special Rapporteur’s 27-page report shows, in granular detail, how Israel’s war economy has mutated from “occupation” to an “economy of genocide,” powered by a tight-knit web of global corporations and investors.
The document names more than 60 firms, among them Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Palantir, Lockheed Martin, Elbit Systems, Caterpillar, HD Hyundai, Volvo, Chevron, Drummond and Glencore, as direct beneficiaries and enablers of the destruction of Gaza and the entrenchment of West-Bank settlements.
It stresses that these companies are “just the tip of the iceberg,” drawn from a database of roughly a thousand entities compiled for the investigation. Israel’s defence budget jumped 65% between 2023 and 2024, to $46.5 billion, creating windfall profits for domestic giants Elbit Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries and for foreign suppliers such as Lockheed Martin, whose F-35 and F-16 fleets delivered many of the 85,000 tons of ordnance dropped on Gaza.
When the Israeli military cloud collapsed under the data load in October 2023, Microsoft Azure and the Google-Amazon Nimbus consortium “stepped in with critical cloud and AI infrastructure,” providing real-time targeting capacity and shielding the data inside Israel-based servers.
On the ground, Caterpillar D9 and HD Hyundai or Volvo excavators, often fitted with Israeli remote-control kits, have razed homes, mosques, hospitals and farmland, preventing any return of displaced communities.
Civilian infrastructure has been weaponised too: the state water monopoly Mekorot throttled supply to 5% of normal flow in large parts of Gaza, and Israel’s control of fuel and electricity lines pushed desalination plants, pumps and hospitals to the brink of total collapse.
International energy majors feed that system: Chevron’s Leviathan-Tamar consortium supplies more than 70% of Israel’s gas and paid the government $453 million in royalties in 2023, while Drummond and Glencore kept coal ships sailing even after Colombia’s export ban, ensuring Israel’s power stations never stopped.
A parallel financial lattice underwrites the violence. BlackRock, Vanguard and Allianz are among the biggest institutional holders of shares in Palantir, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, IBM, Lockheed Martin, Caterpillar and Elbit, implicating pension funds and university endowments worldwide in the genocide economy.
Since 7 October 2023, underwriters such as BNP Paribas and Barclays have snapped up or marketed Israeli treasury issues, while the Israel Bonds agency nearly tripled sales, routing almost $5 billion into the war budget and even allowing investors to donate coupon payments directly to military units.
The payoff is stark: equities on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange have soared 179% during the assault on Gaza, adding roughly $158 billion in value while buildings were still smouldering.
Francesca Albanese urges UN member-states to impose a total arms embargo, suspend trade and investment links, and freeze the assets of any company or executive tied to these crimes. She calls on national courts and the International Criminal Court to pursue individual corporate officers for aiding and abetting genocide, war crimes and apartheid.
Taken together, the evidence shreds the claim that Gaza’s devastation is an unfortunate by-product of war. It is a meticulously monetised enterprise in which cloud-computing contracts, bond sales, construction gear, and fuel shipments are as indispensable as missiles and drones, an integrated business model whose ledger is written in Palestinian blood.
This outstanding summary has been posted by Thomas Keith on X.
#genocide #memory #freepalestine #warcrime #gazatribunal
“When we speak of genocide, in no way do we hold Jews around the world responsible for Israel's actions. These are legal determinations. These are crimes that have a definition. If I say Israel commits war crimes and crimes against humanity and genocide, nobody can answer that we are fueling antisemitism except those who have a confusion between the acts of the Israeli government and Jews around the world. And that's an unacceptable confusion…And you cannot say that they are responsible because of their identity, nor can you say they are innocent based on their identity. The identity of the perpetrators and the identity of the victims is not relevant here.”

# Michael Hudson: War on Iran is fight for US unipolar control of world - Geopolitical Economy Report
**Source:** https://geopoliticaleconomy.com/2025/06/22/michael-hudson-war-iran-us-unipolar-control/
## Summary
• **US unipolar control at stake**: The war on Iran aims to prevent countries from breaking away from US unipolar control and dollar hegemony, while disrupting Eurasian integration with China and Russia
• **Neoconservative strategy**: US foreign policy follows aggressive neoconservative logic that violates international law and UN principles to maintain control over Middle East oil as buttress of US economic power
• **Historical planning**: Military strategies to overthrow and break up Iran along ethnic lines (Baluchistan, Kurds, Tajiks, Azeris) date back to 1974-75 discussions at Hudson Institute
• **Seven-country domination plan**: General Wesley Clark identified Iran as capstone of seven countries US needed to control for Middle East dominance (Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Iran)
• **China as existential threat**: US views China's industrial dominance and socialist model as existential danger to US unipolar control and dollarized global financial system
• **Oil control strategy**: Controlling Middle Eastern oil enables dollar diplomacy, with OPEC countries investing oil revenues in US Treasury securities that can be held hostage through threat of expropriation
• **Disrupting Belt and Road**: Overthrowing Iran would interrupt China's New Silk Road railway corridor and block Russian trade development via Caspian Sea
• **Self-defeating tactics**: US attempts to maintain empire through economic chaos and military threats are driving nations to seek alternatives, making the split with Global Majority irreversible
• **Alternative institutions needed**: Breaking free requires new international organizations independent of US

Good morning 🌄 #nostr
You showed some endurance in this case 💪. Remembered the story vaguely. Btw would be a great name for a cocktail 🍸.
Good question nowadays 🤔.
This photo is real and the story behind is somewhat unexpected.
A Siberian tiger resting on a statue of the Buddha, was originally taken at the Kolmården Wildlife Park in Sweden and first posted on March 7, 2014.
It was not taken by me and it seems that the photographer is unknown. It's a shame, because he or she would deserve some #zaps for it.
Time to rest. Good night 🌃 #nostr.
Message from Munther Isaac, Evangelical Lutheran Pastor in Bethlehem:
"The world has forgotten about Gaza. There are daily massacres. Horrific images. People burnt alive. What more needs to be said and done to stop this genocide? There is a God. One day the justice of heaven will prevail. Lord have mercy!"
I think he's absolutely right. After the Iran-Israel-US skirmish the mood seems to be, we avoided WW3 now let's go back to normal. There's no normal with an ongoing genocide. Where has humanity gone?

"Pahlavi is, in every respect, the classic failson. He has never held a job, never led a serious organization, and never managed to cultivate meaningful political support among Iranians inside the country. For years, his appearances have been carefully managed within a small media bubble, usually among doting sycophants and sympathetic right-wing hosts aligned with the neoconservative project of US-led regime change."

"The US used almost 20 percent of its global stockpile of THAAD missile interceptors to defend Israel during its war on Iran."
20 percent in 12 days?
James Smith, an emergency doctor who has worked in Gaza, says newborn babies dying of starvation is a ‘deliberate policy’ by Israel.
Of course that's not a surprise but important to hear from somebody who was there.

Unfortunately not. It's very difficult to import these kind of things from Europe to Thailand. Import fees are high and unpredictable. I guess, if I would still live in Europe I would use one. I still use an 8 year old Android 5.1 phone which of course hasn't any support since at least 6 years. That whole e-waste is sickening.
The new Fairphone (Gen. 6) is now available. You can order the Android version or the e/OS/ version.
The Fairphone comes with a 5-year warranty and 8 years of software support. It's durable by design and has replaceable modules.
Good morning to you. Enjoy your coffee and your day. It's bedtime for me. Good night.

Are you telling me I downloaded all these gigabytes and there is not one coin there? 😓
Doesn't 'running a node' mean, that you download all the coins? I'm confused 🤔
#nostr fixes this
and

Agreed. It will be very interesting to see how they'll adjust to this new reality in the long-term.
