have you followed this substack? he is German and an ex academic in the same area as Nietzsche, philology. The dominant parties suppressing looking into vax injuries because too much data. He has had insightful political comments as well and fascinating to see him mature in real time. He has a couple of posts on the attempt to eliminate the AfD party which is the group that scheduled this hearing. Pasted the first paragraph--
"The major German political parties will never investigate the pandemic response, because they are all complicit in it. Across the entire political landscape of the Federal Republic, the right-populist Alternative für Deutschland stands alone in its critical stance towards lockdowns and mass vaccination, and only in the state parliament of Brandenburg do they have sufficient seats to gather an investigatory committee on the transgressions of the Corona era. On Friday, 1 September, the AfD-convened Brandenburg Corona Committee summoned Robert Koch-Institut Chief Lothar Wieler (the German counterpart to Anthony Fauci) and Brigitte Keller-Stanislawski, head of the Department of Pharmaceutical Safety and Diagnostics at the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut. They were questioned for six hours on the Covid vaccines."
Thanks for the hat tip. So far, the only other substack I read regularly is Simplicius's as my own activities keep me busy most of the time, but new sources are always welcomed. Will Germans ever awaken? Will Germans heed the AfD's ringing of the alarm bell as it's doing? Winter approaches.
The Outlaw Empire's attempts at limiting Chinese economic expansion might just be eyewash for a US domestic audience. The neocon clique is making war noises which will promote defense spending.
The professional US military does not mind the war talk as long as they do not actually engage in war. Taiwan clearly does not want to be US proxy. The Chinese military, likewise does not mind expanding while not fighting.
As we know, bluster is required for escalating military budgets while shrinking domestic spending on the citizenry so the Neoliberal parasites can continue to loot the nation. But after China, then what? Will the "competition" then become the entire world as it technically already is via the Full Spectrum Dominance policy? As the nation's infrastructure continues to crumble, what will be the excuses for continued neglect and will they be swallowed? The shrinkage of genuine GDP versus China's continual expansion reveals a gap of 7-10%; how much longer can that great disparity be kept hidden from the US citizenry?
I came to the US in 1966 as a graduate exchange student at age 21 going to the University of Oregon. I knew nothing about it and loved it.
Americans of that time were resilient, resourceful and full of initiative. Anecdotes later. Americans have shown their ability to bounce back and take initiative. They might still be capable. I have mixed feelings about the Trump crowds.
Americans are a far more diverse bunch now than in the mid 1960s. I encountered many as an ESL instructor at my Silicon Valley community college during the years I taught there. Some of today's young Americans have gumption--the ability to work and take charge--but they are in the minority as many today lack the work ethic of prior generations. IMO, a new version of the Lost Generation is or has already formed. Writing about that will take a full article.
My direct experience with the Latino community is it would love to have the family centered educational process but all too often both parents are working--that is when two parents are present which too often isn't the case.
live by propaganda, die by propaganda
the west believes its own propaganda and fails to notice what is going on outside the bubble
change is happening extremely fast and the responses of the US, e.g., sanctions, accelerate the change in the opposite direction from their intention
See my reply to Acco as it applies here too.
excellent

I hope you are right.
They might be Latino. I like nearly all of them. Hard working, intact families, educate the kids, entrepreneurial. great family support mechanisms.
