Short book review by Robert Barnes:
The War That Ended Peace: The Road to 1914.
Reveals the idiocy of elites that led to a war that scarred the world for a century to come, bringing down centuries-long empires in a mere half-decade across the continent, from the islands controlling a world so broad they say the sun never slept on it, across the six-century old family governing much of Europe to the Asian empire whose sudden collapse brought us the Mideastern wars of today, to the end of the continent with a three-century old Russian empire still reeling from its fall. The British Empire: gone. The Hapsburg empire: gone. The Ottoman Empire: gone. The Russian Empire: gone. What took three to six centuries to build, wiped out in less than half a decade. Oh, and it sowed the seeds for the Great Depression, another World War, the rise of Nazism, Fascism and Communism. The most disastrous war in world history. This book gives a glimpse at how it all came about. The greatest threat to civilization isn’t foreign nations or the weather or even the moral corruptibility of its leaders; it is the incredible incompetency of a decision-making class filled with Hubris.

Somebody typed a prompt, and a virus came out.
Sixteen of them. Genomes written by artificial intelligence, ordered as synthetic DNA, assembled on a bench, and grown into stocks that replicated and threw off offspring. Thirteen carried mutations that match no known natural sequence. The scientific paper ran in the publication Science, and its senior author disclosed funding from the Gates Foundation.
Six years ago, on April 6, 2020, Bill Gates sat with Trevor Noah and said a vaccine was the only thing that would let us return to normal — and announced that his foundation would start building the factories before anyone had seen efficacy data. Scale during testing, he said, rather than waiting for results. A great many people heard optimism. Some of us heard a schedule.

"There are times when a people tolerate an evil for so long that they cease to recognize its enormity. The evil acquires procedures, professional language, political constituencies, legal protections and respectable explanations. Eventually bloodshed receives a clinical name, partiality becomes public policy, and injustice—once sufficiently regulated—begins to look almost ordinary."
-- Bill Evans
The @EU_Commission met today with Meta & TikTok on the situation in Ceuta.
"Platforms must act decisively in keeping the integrity of the digital space, in particular during crisis situations. Monitoring must increase, cooperation with fact-checkers to be strengthened."
What has social media been commanded to do? Cover up the fact that 72,000 military aged males invaded Spain over a two day period? Spin the story? Hire fact checkers who say, "Don't believe the misinformation. It was only 72 migrants." What were the orders given to social media regarding the Hungarian election of 2026? What orders are being given to the new puppet government of Hungary by the EU?
