A quotation from Eric Hoffer

Suffering cleanses only when it is free of resentment. Wholehearted contempt for our tormentors safeguards our soul from the mutilations of bitterness and hatred.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 263 (1955)

@irina @EUCommission Also it's IMO gross violation of freedom of speech, freedom of association.

It is my opinion that the hypocritical mask of the West slipped and the true, contemptible, authoritarian, totalitarian nature of the so called Western alleged democracies is revealed.

Cítím vůči českému režimu

e x t r é m n ě s i l n é o p o v r ž e n í ,

když čtu: "Výbor OSN pro práva dítěte později dospěl k závěru, že Česko porušilo jejich práva" -- "museli jako náctiletí odejít od matky do krizového centra" -- "Ministerstvo spravedlnosti nevyplatilo požadované zadostiučinění" -- "Podle výboru Česko při rozhodování o dětech řádně nezohlednilo jejich nejlepší zájem, soud je nevyslechl a opatrovníci jednali proti jejich vůli. Kontakt s rodiči byl v počáteční fázi omezený jen na jednu hodinu týdně."

Jako náctiletí museli odejít od matky, OSN se jich zastala. U Ústavního soudu neuspěli

Ústavní soud (ÚS) zamítl stížnost sourozenců z jižní Moravy, kteří v roce 2019 museli jako náctiletí odejít od matky do krizového centra. Na základě předběžného opatření Krajského soudu v Brně tam strávili víc než rok. Výbor OSN pro práva dítěte později dospěl k závěru, že Česko porušilo jejich práva a že má zajistit nápravu.

#MissKittyPolitics Why it matters: U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth's ruling means that U.S. Agency for Global Media acting CEO Kari Lake can't lay off 532 people, most of its staff, on Tuesday as scheduled amid a wider legal battle. #Contempt order possible.

Kristi Noem’s taxpayer funded personal slush fund

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iKCt1ay8HM4

She's turned the Department of Homeland Security into her personal hub of corruption. In addition to the luxury jets, Noem spent $220 million on media consultant contracts to shoot ads starring herself, and she even lives rent-free in the official waterfront residence reserved for the commandant of the US Coast Guard. And that's just the tip of the iceberg....

"ChatGPT Is Now Reporting Your Prompts to Police"

" False positives? Not explained.
Appeals process? Not sure.
Data retention policies? Still vague.
Other types of monitoring systems we don’t know about yet? Not sure.

So, as a user, you’re left in the dark. Although the odds are pretty slim, your next edgy joke, bad-taste roleplay, or questionable thought experiment could get misread by a filter and land in a report."

So, basically, thoughtcrimes?

A quotation from Montaigne

Lying is a villainous vice, and an ancient writer depicts it as most shameful when he says that to lie is to manifest contempt of God together with fear of man. It is not possible to represent more fully the horror, the vileness, the outrageousness of it. For what can be conceived more villainous than to be cowardly with respect to men, and audacious with respect to God?
 
[C’est un vilain vice, que le mentir ; & qu’un ancien peint bien honteusement, quand il dit, que c’est donner tesmoignage de mespriser Dieu, & quand & quand de craindre les hommes. Il n’est pas possible d’en representer plus richement l’horreur, la vilité & le desreiglement: Car que peut on imaginer plus vilain, que d’estre couart à l’endroit des hommes, & brave à l’endroit de Dieu?]

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essays, Book 2, ch. 18 (2.18), “Of Giving the Lie [Du Démentir]” (1578–79) [tr. Ives (1925)]

Bill & Hillary #Clinton, battle-tested, gear up for another Washington fight

The #Clintons are slated to testify Thursday & Friday in a #House investigation into #JeffreyEpstein, part of a deal with #Republicans after it became clear that #Congress — with the help of some #Democrats — was on track to hold them in #contempt if they refused to cooperate.

Bill and Hillary Clinton gear up for one final Washington fight

Bill and Hillary Clinton are slated to testify this week in a House investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, part of a deal with Republicans after it became clear that Congress — with the help of some Democrats — was on track to hold them in contempt if they refused to cooperate. For the battle-hardened couple, it amounts to one more Washington brawl. And like so many of the battles that came before, this one is another mix of questionable judgment, sexual impropriety, money and power.
