Friedrich Nietzsche once said that truth comes quietly, as if on deaf feet. The day of truth for the propagandists, the propaganda lickspittles and other socialists is also slowly creeping up on us, but will burst in like a bomb when the financial sources finally dry up. The loss of the general public's trust in the seriousness of these propagandists is well deserved and irreversible. The genie is out of the bottle! #freedom #media #socialism #wef #nostr #bitcoin 
Thank God the commies are destroying themselves like always. Sad to see that millions have to suffer through this period
A short contribution to the state of the bitcoin debate in Germany: a well-known investor and financial analyst, Dr. Andreas Beck, is of the opinion that bitcoin is exclusively a ponzi scheme that only idiots (quote) would even take note of. It is difficult to understand what has happened to the Germans in recent years, who are neither aware of the Islamic invasion nor the destruction of their core industries. But it's always like that in life: Ignorance is always punished just like boundless stupidity! Anyone in this country, and it is the majority, who still listens to pseudo-intellectuals and the mainstream media and follows their advice has only themselves to blame. They should know better now!

EU's Brazen Stupidity: Record Russian LNG Imports Amidst Empty Threats
In an astonishing display of European folly and stupidity, the EU has hit a new peak of idiocy by importing a staggering 837,300 metric tons of Russian LNG in just the first 15 days of 2025. This comes despite the EU's loud, empty threats to cut energy ties with Russia after the Nord Stream 2 fiasco and the broader geopolitical chess game.
The end of the Ukraine gas transit deal has only deepened Europe's dependency on Russian seaborne LNG, with countries like Slovakia and Hungary now leading the charge in this embarrassing reliance.
The reasons behind this self-inflicted energy crisis are laughably predictable: a cold snap, lackluster wind power, and the EU's own damn long-term contracts. These elements have ensured that Russian gas keeps flowing, not just keeping Europe warm but also pouring billions into Moscow's coffers.
This scenario paints a picture of European policy as nothing short of a circus of contradictions, where bold declarations of independence are quickly overshadowed by the reality of dependency, highlighting a policy so foolish it borders on self-sabotage.

The traces of the devastation caused by the socialists and bureaucrats in Brussels are unmistakable throughout Europe. Meanwhile, the productivity of the private sector is dying and the general stupidity is growing like a cancer. Everywhere the destruction caused by infantile economic stimulus programs, the building ruins, the devastation caused by subsidy and interest rate manipulation, inflation and debt orgies, plus constant interventionism and bureaucratic terror - the EU must go! A Europe of autonomous regions is the future, self-determination of free individuals, the end of the propaganda terror of a stupid superfather state.

The Disc of Phaistos: A Silent Message In a Bottle From a Lost Age
A journey through the Greek Aegean is a spectacular experience that you won't forget in a hurry. When you leave the port of Piraeus on one of the many ferried, you enter the sphere of pure Light, in which the deep blue of the sky spreads out over the turquoise blue sea. And again and again, out of the haze of the water, the barren Aegean islands emerge from the tides like oversized boulders, which, according to Greek mythology, were the tears of the gods and served as landmarks for sailors, providing space for the formation of small city-states that traded with each other. 
Leading the journey to the southern point of the Greek Aegean, the largest of the Greek islands, Crete, closes the Greek archipelago to the south. Over 5000 years ago, Crete was the scene of the first European civilization, the Minoan, whose legendary kings such as Minos or Radamanthys established a so-called 'thalassocracy', a maritime rule. The spectacular palace culture from which the Minoans ruled the large island and from which they controlled colonies on neighboring islands flourished here. In Phaisstos, in the second largest palace after Knossos, excavations over 100 years ago found a spectacular object: the Disc of Phaistos!
The Phaistos Disc has intrigued scholars and enthusiasts alike since its discovery in 1908. This enigmatic object continues to be one of the most debated mysteries in the field of archaeology. 
Discovery and Physical Description
The disc was unearthed by the Italian archaeologist Luigi Pernier during excavations of the Minoan palace of Phaistos, located in the south-central region of Crete. Made from fired clay, the disc measures about 15 cm in diameter and 2 cm in thickness. It features an array of pictorial symbols, with 241 glyphs in total, comprising 45 distinct signs. These symbols are impressed in a spiral pattern on both sides of the disc, with vertical lines separating groups of characters, suggesting a structured text or narrative.
The Writing System
The script of the Phaistos Disc remains undeciphered, making it a unique puzzle in the study of ancient scripts. Unlike the Linear A and Linear B scripts, which are also found on Crete but have been partially deciphered, the signs on the disc do not match any known writing system. The symbols depict human figures, animals, plants, and various objects, leading to numerous theories about their meaning. Some scholars suggest it could be an early form of writing or a religious text, while others propose it might be a coded message or even a form of ancient board game.
Theories and Interpretations
Over the years, various theories have been proposed regarding the disc's purpose and origin. One popular theory is that it represents a religious or ceremonial text, possibly a prayer or hymn, due to the symbolic nature of the imagery. Gareth Alun Owens, an expert on Minoan script, has suggested that the disc might be written in an early form of Minoan language, related to Linear A, but this has not been confirmed.
Another intriguing aspect is the method of its creation. The disc is considered one of the earliest examples of movable type, where each symbol was pressed into the clay using individual stamps, a technique that would not become widespread until much later in human history.
Historical and Cultural Context
The Phaistos Disc is not just an isolated artifact but part of the rich tapestry of Minoan culture, which thrived between 3000 and 1400 BCE. Phaistos itself was a major center, second only to Knossos in terms of size and cultural significance. The palace where the disc was found was likely a hub for administrative, religious, and possibly educational activities. The disc's discovery alongside pottery from around 1800 BCE suggests it might have been in use during the Middle Minoan period, a time of significant cultural flourishing. 
Current Status and Influence
Today, the Phaistos Disc is housed in the Heraklion Archaeological Museum in Crete, where it continues to attract visitors from around the world. Its mystery has not only fueled academic research but has also permeated popular culture, appearing in literature, art, and even modern-day puzzles and games.
Despite numerous attempts, the exact meaning of the text on the disc remains elusive. Each new theory or attempt at decipherment adds layers to its historical narrative, making the Phaistos Disc a symbol of the enduring quest for knowledge about our ancient past. While we might never fully understand its message, the disc serves as a testament to human curiosity and the complex history of communication.
The Phaistos Disc stands as a testament to the ingenuity of the Minoan civilization and a reminder of how much of our ancient heritage remains to be explored and understood. Its impact on archaeology and our understanding of early writing systems continues to resonate, keeping the mystery alive in scholarly circles and beyond.

Interesting perspective. Thank You
I found this graphic on X, unfortunately without an exact source. Nevertheless, it confirms what we all know and can verify economically: the place of production is no longer the place of innovation. China has become a real magnet for patents and innovation, no matter how you get them. We must offer better framework conditions in our countries in the West, push back state activities and interventionism, reduce taxes and finally live meritocratic values so that innovators can successfully produce here.

Trade Relations of the Greco-Roman Antiquity with China
In the tapestry of ancient history, the trade relations between the Greco-Roman world and China weave a fascinating story of cultural exchange and economic interdependence. This intricate relationship, though often overshadowed by the grandeur of the Silk Road, played a pivotal role in shaping the economies and cultures of both these distant empires.
The map from 100 AD, crafted by Albert Herrmann, illustrates the principal trade routes that connected the East with the West. These routes were not merely pathways for silk and spices but channels through which ideas, technologies, and philosophies flowed. The map highlights the main routes from China to Rome, showing how goods traversed through the vast expanses of Central Asia, the deserts of Parthia, and the ports of the Red Sea.
The Roman Empire, with its insatiable appetite for luxury goods, found in China a treasure trove of silk, which became a status symbol among the Roman elite. Conversely, the Chinese were intrigued by Roman glassware, gold, and other exotic items. This exchange was not just about commodities; it was about the blending of civilizations. Roman coins have been found in Chinese archaeological sites, indicating direct or indirect trade.
The Silk Road, though the most famous, was not the only conduit. Maritime routes also flourished, with Roman merchants reaching as far as the Indian subcontinent, from where goods were transported overland to China. Ports like Alexandria in Egypt became bustling hubs of this trade, connecting the Mediterranean with the Indian Ocean.
Despite the geographical distance, there was a mutual curiosity. Chinese records speak of a land called Daqin, which many historians believe to be the Roman Empire. Roman accounts, albeit vague, mention the land of Seres, believed to be China, famous for its silk.
This trade was not without its challenges. The journey was perilous, fraught with bandits, harsh climates, and political instability. Yet, the allure of profit and the thirst for the exotic drove merchants to undertake these arduous journeys. The cultural impact was profound; Chinese silk influenced Roman fashion, while Roman art and architecture left subtle traces in Chinese designs.
In conclusion, the trade relations between the Greco-Roman world and China were a testament to human ingenuity and the desire for connection. They laid the groundwork for the globalized world we know today, showcasing how even in antiquity, the world was more interconnected than we might imagine.

If one considers that Germany contributes almost half of the EU budget, is now in recession and is being actively pursued by the EU in a conflict with Russia, one of the important energy arteries, the gas pipeline with Russia has been blown up and it has inherited a perishable invasion crisis from the EU, which is not making any effort to protect its borders, it is questionable whether this budget can be maintained in the long term.
