    I am the son of a German and an Irish Woman,, the former German-Jewish, the latter Irish Catholic, they both came to ngland at the behest of the British Government n 1938 and experienced no prejudice, were received with open arms by a nation that wanted allies and friends to fight Hitler. The national amnesia, their myopia has been inculcated into the lower middle class because the latter cherish grievances and resentments Inculcated by a conspiracy of Media, Money and ignorance.. The entire confection is synthetic, it is a conspiracy and it stems from the fact that the white lower middle class male is obsolete. He has nothing to offer because women, emancipated by electronic technology and the computer are better at the job than they were were. It is the menace of mediocrity[Karl Kraus] They will have to educate themselves because there is no other future for them. ,English nationalism is the function of class, and Gender not nation, it it is obsolescence of the Common Man, a lower middle class grievance and resentment at their own patent inferiority. When I was i France this class were badly behaved , loutish, aggressive, spoke o language, even their Own ,it was ignorance, stupidity pandered to, by the absurd idea of Brexit and their resistance to thought, Anti-Intellectual arrogance of a defunct class and they were sold this delusion by distortion of State law by a failure to differentiate between State law and the incorporation of standards and regulations incorporated into law. The English is an Aristocratic and Middle class creation of identity constructed on Cricket. .

    Such a disappointment to see that The Convention chose a speech of a russian writer, who represents the aggressor #russia, to be read at The Evening For Ukraine's Refugees. There are lines where Ukrainians, along with Jews, are called the lower nations with the right to live, smth like that. The lower mass, not even a nation at core, is russia. All it possesses is brutality to kill and steal. And with the made up history and money for the appropriated resources this vulgar evil presents itself as a higher what?! A shame indeed that such a great actor as Jeremy Irons in an interview in Toronto 10 years ago said that his son is 'in Kyiv, in russia, doing a movie.' The war was on back then, as well. But apparently, this actor is ignorant of the world affairs, leave alone history. He again agreed to read a letter from a russian.

    African Scholars knew things Long Before Euro people. It is time that the basics of Applied Math were highlighted by African Scholars and Leaders to get out from under the illiteracy of present paradigm money and its subjugation of humanity. When a populace has only one frame of reference it cannot even begin to know what is wrong. The point about not having any other frame of reference is critically important, because there is no guarantee that the 'development' of humanity has gotten stuff figured out correctly. Which raises the question: What do we have wrong? One of those things that we surely have wrong is money. And we have had this wrong since the time we switched from fungible commodities as trade goods to abstract unit based representations of value interchange used in bookkeeping. What we got wrong is that, because we "conflated the two mutually exclusive notions of “measure” and “commodity” - be it either conflating “measure” with (fungible) commodities such as gold or silver or “commodity" with mere annotations of value such as fiat notes" (Marc Gauvin) - we assigned the properties of a commodity to a simple abstract unit! In doing this we messed up our own abilities to have stability in our acCounts and bookkeeping and society as we sought to 'own and protect' the abstract units as though they were fungible commodities, when they were/are but abstract representations of the value contained in the stuff of real value in our interchange! Through all this time in human history, since before the formation of Nation States, we have been confused about what Liberation through bookkeeping and abstract representation of our own interaction needs in order to work. Because the goods interchanged no longer need an intermediate fungible trade good. What we need is a specification for a 'unit of value' with which to measure/annotate and keep the records about the value contained in those items of genuine value about which we are writing stuff down! Please take a look at this paper. www.bibocurrency.com/index.php/downloads-2/19-english-root/learn/271-brief-history-of-money-s-misrepresentation I celebrate your willingness to challenge the status quo and to ask what we have been getting wrong. It seems to me, that with regard to money, we are still in a 'pre-Copernican' era thinking that fungible commodity-like money is at the center of our economic world when it cannot possibly be. And so long as we subjugate ourselves to the foolish need to have money retain the attributes of fungible commodities we abandon our own position as the initiator (the center) of economic capacity and give ourselves over to the eventuality of control exhibited by those strong armed protectorates that have developed into the Nation States along with all the corruption that entails. There is a way out that involves simple monetary literacy. Check this out!! www.bibocurrency.com/index.php/downloads-2/19-english-root/learn/300-you-have-been-served What if the conceptual basis that money has been operating from since before the formation of nation states is irrational and against the basic laws of Applied Math and abstract representation? What we got wrong is that, because we "conflated the two mutually exclusive notions of “measure” and “commodity” - be it either conflating “measure” with (fungible) commodities such as gold or silver or “commodity" with mere annotations of value such as fiat notes" (Marc Gauvin) - we assigned the properties of a commodity to a simple abstract unit! In doing this we messed up our own abilities to have stability in our acCounts and bookkeeping and society as we sought to 'own and protect' the abstract units as though they were fungible commodities, when they were/are but abstract representations of the value contained in the stuff of real value in our interchange! It is that critical in the history of humanity that we find out what conceptual errors are still operational. Several people told the world that the geocentric conceptualization of our planetary system was not correct. But it took human social systems centuries to abandon this error. The error we are making in economic interaction, by holding that a commodity can also serve as a unit of measure, is having its disastrous consequences that can easily be stopped by awakening to the as yet mostly unchallenged flawed thinking within economics about what money is and does. Unless we correct this basic mistake the problems created by this error can only and exponentially increase. Instability does not ever go away when you treat the unit of acCount for the representation of the value contained in other things as though it too is an item of value all by itself. There is a way out that involves simple monetary literacy. Check this out!! www.bibocurrency.com/index.php/downloads-2/19-english-root/learn/300-you-have-been-served The question then remains as to why any populace needs a government to issue the abstract units of reference to their own activity? Don't they already know how to count and do bookkeeping?

    Rather shallow thoughts for a professional historian. He should have known that the war in Ukraine was planned and masterminded by NATO, Britain included. He should have felt a bit of sympathy for the 14 thousand children and civilians of Donbas killed by the Ukrainian Nazis before Russia started a military operation to protect them. Being a historian, he should have known that even 80 years ago warfare was enough mighty to eliminate the whole city. So if Putin did really aim at killing Ukrainian children, there would be millions of them killed. But we see nothing of the kind. Russia shells military targets only. It's not Russia that should be blamed for the fact that the Ukrainian military prefers to locate them in residential areas. And the most stunning is that the British historian is incapable of understanding that the Ukrainian regime is a Nazi one. The same kind of regime in Germany murdered 6 million Jews in WWII. And Schama is a Jew. Maybe he is the same kind of a Jew as Zelensky, who betrayed his nationality, historical memory of the Holocaust, and his grandfather who was fighting the German Nazis in the Red Army.

      @robinhood5935 Рік тому

      @@dilshanfernando3100 'To take over Ukraine', 'genocide of the Ukrainians', and all other expressions of the kind are from the Ukrainian narrative of the events. You've got brains, haven't you? Use them and try to think methodically. If the aim of the operation was to take over Ukraine, then Russia would've intervened with at least one million army. Russia is the size of France if you know. Ukrainian Nazis had been prepared for years as a tool against Russia. Their military had been trained by the country pumped with NATO weapons long before 2014. Despite its constitutional obligation to be neutral Ukraine aspired to NATO membership, which is unacceptable for Russia. In this case, NATO would've taken a decisive advantage over Russia. This is the main reason for military operations in Ukraine. There are other ones like defending the population of Russian-speaking territories. These people chose to be with Russia because they didn't accept the Nazi coup of February 2014. Otherwise, they would've been annihilated by the Ukrainian Nazis. I call them Nazis because they openly declared about killing all Russians including women, children, and old people. What would you call those who support Nazis?

    Of course they have to mention how evil Trump is for daring to suggest that a nation have a border that he is willing to guard with a wall. Here is the problem with these two brilliant idiots: there is a massive difference between women and children in Ukraine fleeing war to Poland, and military aged, male economic migrants going to America from Mexico. You could even argue that Mexican people illegal going to America make it even harder for Ukrainians to flee the war. My wife is Ukrainian and getting our paperwork in order so we can live in America has been a nightmare. Why? Because all the border agencies are pushed to the limits of their resources dealing with millions of Hispanics. We have to have all this additional paperwork not because we did anything wrong, but because so many people come to America and immediately use all the welfare programs that are bought and paid for by Americans for their posterity. Instead those welfare programs are going to Hispanics. And please stop telling everyone how hard they work. It is nonsense. Sure, some do. But it is a hell of a lot easier to go to work every day when you pay zero income tax and you dont follow labor laws. It gives their company a clear advantage when they can bid on a contract for half price. You can give me all this bloviated nonsensical gobbledygook about our responsibilities to Ukraine and humanity, but we aren't fighting this war to save Ukrainian democracy. It is a corrupt oligarchy. We are fighting this war because those in power are depraved and they know war is big business. Who suffers? People like my wife's family, that's who.

    Great but not enough story telling- re Euro blacks who lived in Europe and the UK for thousands of years- deported and killed by Oliver Cromwell in the 1600s. No discussion of the African Picts who were observed by Roman Tacitus in 1st century AD. Lost books of Tacitus and even Donald Monro in the 1500s- books are missing , fraud is great to cover up the global existence of blacks before the 1700s. See Ben Franklin's essay of 1751 on the increase of mankind where he says the number of pure whites in the world in 1751 was VERY small.

This Brexit is the last gasp of The Commo man because Industry needs women, any race, any creed, any colour.
