"What #Vance and his colleagues seem to have forgotten, though, is that what #America now wants — essentially for other #countries to have the capability to fight #wars all by themselves — is exactly what, until very recently, America did not want at all."

An interesting way to look at the influence of #China (#PRC) on other #countries: the #ChinaIndex.
The highest-"ranking" country in Europe is mine: #Germany.
»The China Index seeks to establish an interactive world map that visualizes the PRC‘s evolving influence in different countries. The Index captures PRC influence across nine Domains: #Academia, Domestic Politics, #Economy, Foreign Policy, #Law Enforcement, #Media, #Military, #Society, and #Technology. Each of these Domains contains 11 Indicators corresponding to an observable phenomenon of PRC influence, and presents comparable data collected by regional partners through collaboration with local experts.«
Well a bigger #war is #forecast and has been for some time, if France is preparing then all #countries better start as of today...
So saying today, as a US #president, that #Ukraine is responsible for starting the #war with #Russia, is so monstrously wrong, a lie, an evil deception, that really all #countries in #world have to understand now:
YOU CAN NOT TRUST THE #USA.
Ever.
#Algae are the surprise guest in the @EUCommission deregulation proposal. How are these #organisms used by the #industry ? In which #countries are they produced? And above all, what #genetic modifications are being made for which comercialisation? This overview is of importance because their deregulation would be justified by the “evidence on the safety” of these #NewGMOs . However, these #GMO algae do not exist, as the technical protocols are not yet mastered… https://infogm.org/en/objet-of-all-desire-do-gm-algae-really-exist/ @bloomassociation.org @surfrider @ecvc @GreensEP @foeeurope.bsky.social #sea #ocean #river #biodiversity #environment
Counter- #tariffs against products from the #USA ,decided by national #governments or the #EU , are one thing. But what about #consumer behaviour in #Canada , #Mexico , #Denmark & the entire #EU , and actually all #democracies in the #world ? Who is still motivated to buy U.S. #products and #services as long as the #Trump #administration wages a brutal and absurd #tradewar against other #democratic #countries ?
The #KrononautMoon Project is an ongoing series of community experiments to contact #TimeTravelers — as "in-person", but more likely via #quantum #signal. The next attempt is coming up soon on 14 Mar 2025 — under the #TotalLunarEclipse — wherever you are. These outreaches are sometimes referred to as "landing receptions", but call them or redesign them however you like. Following is a brief, all-true #chronology of such #events, going back 40+ years. The excerpt is from our detailed #article on Medium.com.
❛❛ #Future #intelligences would have the necessary transport #technology that is not yet existent in our #world. To date, there have been 5 recorded attempts of this method, with the most famous one devised by the late #theoretical #physicist #StephenHawking, in #Cambridge #UK on 2009 Jun 28.
Hawking referred to his get-together as a “reception”—what we now think of as a version type 1.0. His champagne toast to “tourists from the future” was, by no means, not the first of the prototypes, however, because it was staged years after 3 similar experimental attempts — stationed in different #countries and unrelated to each other. The professor’s cheeky soirée occurred four years after a rollicking party that was thrown for “Inhabitants of the Future” at Forrest Place, #Perth #AU, on 2005 Mar 31. Then, a few months later, an equally festive #TimeTraveler #Convention was hosted at #MIT — The #Massachusetts Institute of Technology, #Cambridge #MA #US, on 2005 May 07. These elaborate productions were preceded by a full two decades, back when a group identifying itself as the #Krononauts assembled in #Baltimore #MD #US (alt. spelling: #Chrononauts). That seminal event, which was covered by a #NewYorkTimes reporter, happened at a downtown #bookstore, under the light of a #FullMoon, and a multi-planetary #syzygy, on 1982 Mar 09.
More recently, in the spring of 2023, a dogged #podcaster for TheLastArchive.com and Pushkin.fm, published a riveting and droll #audio recounting of Baltimore’s Krononauts gathering, and then gave the concept a uniquely personal #experimental spin, noting the time and #GPS #coordinates. The effort successfully demonstrated that a single individual can attempt extra-temporal #contact on one’s own, equipped with little more than a #public #library #bench, and can meaningfully contribute to the corpus of #Community #Time #Travel #Research. ❜❜
On 2025 Mar 14, join your #friends, fellow #Mastodonians, and #TimeTravelers for an evening of #peace, #love, and #cosmic #tranquility, wherever you are.

Everybody loves to go on vacation. But at what cost? “I’ll never understand gays holidaying in #Dubai,” posted a coder named #DrewHyde.

A quotation from Joubert, Joseph:
«
It seems as though nations love perils, and when they have none, they create them.
[Il semble que les peuples aiment les périls, et que lorsqu’ils en manquent, ils s’en créent.]
