Participant🔸Spydell: Insane more than $1 trillion capitalization in a day
https://aftershock.news/?q=node/1348422
▪️Insanity has no statute of limitations and every time everything develops according to the same scenario. Nvidia added 277 billion for the day – the most significant one-day increase in capitalization for a single company in the entire history of global trading (the last record was Meta at the auction on February 2, 2022-197 billion) with more than 66 billion in trading turnover (a record).
The grandiose, stunning, monumental, unthinkable, and enchanting idiocy that was framed in the speculative AI rally does not even have historical analogues but about everything in order.▪️In the world’s Internet, one of the most hilarious scandals of the week, alas. Friend’s, as you know, Google’s Gemini neural network, which creates amazing images at the request of citizens. The citizens of the planet were quickly convinced, Gemini practically does not believe in the existence of whites in general — and especially white men. That is, she gives out indian old ladies in tiaras to the request “draw me the pope of Rome”, gives out a huge selection of blacks in crowns to the request “draw the king of England”, and rejects the request “draw a white family” altogether, because of racism, and the family should be inclusive.
This news is striking because Google, as you can easily understand, tested its model for a long time at home, with hundreds of its best minds, before dumping it on the world market and ridiculously embarrassing itself.▪️According to media reports, the occupation regime of Netanyahu published its “settlement plan” in the Gaza Strip after the end of the genocidal punitive operation “Iron Swords”. The translation into Russian was published by Netanyahu’s adviser Dmitry Gendelman. The Prime Minister’s plan” for the post-war structure ” boils down to one thing-occupation. But the occupation is even more brutal than before October 7.
▪️China has told the International Court of Justice that the Palestinians have the right to use “armed force” against Israel. Beijing said at the historic hearing that armed struggle against occupation is a “legitimate” and “justified” right.
China has supported the right of the Palestinian people to use armed force to fight the Israeli occupation of their land, calling it an ” inalienable right justified by international law.”
The comments were made on Thursday by Chinese Ambassador to the United Nations Zhang Jun during the fourth day of public hearings held by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague.🔸Patrick Lawrence: Guilt and Responsibility
The Case of Germany and Israel
https://scheerpost.com/2024/02/21/patrick-lawrence-guilt-and-responsibility/
▪️…The Federal Republic’s support of “the Jewish state” has long been unequivocal, ranking it with Washington’s “unconditional support,” the phrase Hillary Clinton favored during her years as secretary of state. This goes back to Konrad Adenauer, West Germany’s first chancellor, who authorized war reparations and greatly needed economic aid four years after Israel’s founding in 1948. Germany has never looked back. Rudolf Dreßler, a long-serving member of the Bundestag, described Germany’s dedication to the Israeli cause as a Staatsräson, a reason of state, a fundamental obligation, while serving as Berlin’s ambassador to Tel Aviv from 2000 to 2005. It does not get any further beyond negotiable.🔸Ever since the freezing of Russian assets, the West has been dreaming of confiscating them. However, how can the scam of the century with Russian gold turn out for the West? This is a political gesture that is unlikely to bring the “author” anything good.

▪️Russia’s illegally frozen assets haunt Western politicians. In fact, from the very beginning of the special operation, they are desperately looking for a legally neutral solution that will allow them to appropriate funds and not scare off potential investors in the future.🔸Forwarded from Ostashko!
▪️🤯The IMF was surprised at the growth rate of the Russian economy under Western sanctions. International Monetary Fund representative Julie Kozak, in an interview with a TASS journalist, said that production volumes are growing in the Russian Federation. According to her, the Russian economy surprised with its high growth rates despite the sanctions.
📝“The Russian economy has truly surprised us with the strength of its growth. It is obvious that Russia now has a war economy. This is due to the fact that there is a large amount of military spending in the economy, which contributes to the growth of production ,” Kozak said.
At the same briefing, Kozak noted that Ukraine will need about $32 billion in official donor support this year. Without Western money, the country will lose “fiscal stability”; in other words, it will be forced to print money, rapidly driving the remnants of the economy into the grave.▪️❗️👔 Biden confirmed that the United States is introducing more than 500 sanctions against the Russian Federation – White House
Sanctions are being introduced against individuals associated with the imprisonment of Alexei Navalny, as well as against the Russian financial sector.
✖️ Biden also said that the United States, as part of new measures against the Russian Federation, will take actions to “reduce” its income from energy resources.▪️The European Central Bank ended the year with a loss for the first time in 20 years. Sanctions are working.
▪️🇺🇸Google’s neural network “Gemini” came under fire for generating black slave traders and black Nazis. Users began publishing the results of the “multicultural” and “racially unbiased” neural network, indicating that the IT giant was erasing the history of racial and gender discrimination.
❗️This forced Google to apologize for introducing a racial agenda into its AI algorithms.
Elon Musk also noted the incident: “I’m glad Google overplayed its hand with AI image generation because it made their crazy racist, anti-civilization agenda clear to everyone.”🔸Forwarded from Zergulio:

Give yourself Haloperidol, at least it will be beneficial.▪️Judging by the news, Nikol Pashinyan caught the star and grew a huge cockscomb.
🇦🇲Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan announced the freezing of the country’s participation in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). Pashinyan also said that the issue of preserving the Russian military base in Armenia is not on the agenda (c)
🇦🇲Russian border guards will be withdrawn from Zvartnots International Airport in Yerevan (c)
🇦🇲Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan said in Munich that Yerevan is not Moscow’s ally on the issue of Ukraine (c)
🇦🇲The Ministers of Defense of Armenia and the French Armed Forces signed new cooperation agreements in Yerevan. The head of the French Ministry of Defense in Yerevan said that a “permanent” military adviser would appear in Armenia to “orient” ongoing programs and reforms (c)
Of all the worst options in choosing allies, Pashinyan settled on the most unpromising – the French. Which in Europe, in principle, are no longer considered people, who have lost their positions in Africa, who are openly deprived of large military contracts (see submarines for Australia).
Armenia does not have long left in such situations. Azerbaijan has already announced shelling of its positions by the Armenian military.
P.S. I will never understand how the Armenians, seeing what is happening in Artsakh, having the example of Ukraine at hand, chose this shitty Pashinyan as prime minister for the second time. As a result, Karabakh was completely lost, practically without a fight, simply surrendered. Next up is the Zangezur corridor. What’s next?▪️⚡️The Ukrainian Armed Forces retreated back beyond the “Surovikin Line” on the Rabotinsky salient, laments Russophobe and Nazi Julian Repke from Bild.
What happened, Repke?😁🔸Forwarded from Older than Edda:
▪️Pashinyan, declaring his intention to leave the CSTO, shows that he belongs to that widespread category of politicians today who lack the ability to perceive cause-and-effect relationships.
Unfortunately, in Armenia this concerns many representatives of the political elite – either conscious enemies of Armenia, or simply very poorly thinking people who are unable to assess the consequences, can consistently break this country away from Russia. Among these people there are also widespread illusions that correct pro-Western rhetoric can provide better protection than an alliance with Russia. But this union is also perceived very one-sidedly – Russia should be in it, but Armenia only takes it for granted.
No, among the Armenians there are wonderful thinking people, sincere patriots of both their country and our common Motherland, the core of which was, is and will be Russia. But in order for these people to start listening, apparently, a cup of suffering is needed, and Pashinyan is organizing this with his actions.February 22, 2024 at 14:21 in reply to: The Cornucopia – Art, Music, Poems, Creative Stories, Myth, & Glories, 22.2.24 #26167Sudhi

They said that they are seriously considering the possibility of supplying Ukraine with a version of ATACMS missiles with a range of 500-550 kilometers.🔸Benjamin Netanyahu on borrowed time,
by Thierry Meyssan
https://www.voltairenet.org/article220460.html
▪️Benjamin Netanyahu’s provocations have provoked reactions that the massacre of 29,000 Gazan civilians did not. All the protagonists in the wider Middle East and the West, who are constantly at odds with each other, have suddenly joined forces against him. While everyone sees Gaza’s future differently, all agree that Israel can no longer continue with Jewish supremacists in its government. We’re heading for a temporary relocation of Gazans under Egyptian protection, followed by a purge in Israel.🔸A Genocide-Complicit Global Hegemon?!

According to him, the equipment will no longer be needed in Europe for the next conflict. As an example, Danilov cited Denmark, which handed over to Kiev “all the artillery, because it realized” that the conflicts “will be completely different, that all this will become scrap metal, which will be absolutely unnecessary,” reports TASS.

▪️While the West was waging a proxy war against Russia, a proxy conflict grew up right next to it, which affects the most painful thing – the economy.
…
And now the West finds itself in the place of Russia, when a proxy conflict in the Red Sea is launched against it. We are talking about the Houthis, who are a nightmare for all Israeli and Western ships sailing through the Gulf of Aden – both military and civilian. Moreover, the priority is given to American and British vessels. Only recently were the Houthis able to sink the British bulk carrier Rubymar.🔸Forwarded from Older than Edda:
▪️The Bundestag approved the supply of long-range cruise missiles to the Ukrainian, but one must understand that this approval in itself is a political declaration that does not bind the government or Scholz personally to anything. Moreover, the name “Taurus” (the only German missile of this type today) does not even appear in the text of the approved document. Scholz, on the issue of supplying Taras to Taras, still cannot decide whether he wants to get involved in this, given that all the way the Germans tried to be number two in supporting Ukraine, and now, with the withdrawal of the United States, they will have to be first. Especially in such a sensitive issue as missiles, which can be used to strike Russian territory outside the combat zone.But let’s assume that the Ukrainians are given missiles. What will fundamentally change? Compared to the Storm Shadow, the German missile is not much different, however, according to available information, it has slightly better capabilities for hitting protected/buried targets. From an air defense point of view, the threat remains unchanged – a low-altitude, stealthy subsonic missile flying around the terrain is a rather complex target, especially if it is used in conjunction with decoys (simulators).
Will this change the outcome of the war? No. But there will be more questions for Germany.

Participant“Eldorado”
by Edgar Allan Poe (1809 – 1849)Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.But he grew old—
This knight so bold—
And o’er his heart a shadow
Fell, as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow—
‘Shadow,’ said he,
‘Where can it be—
This land of Eldorado?’‘Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,’
The shade replied,—
‘If you seek for Eldorado!’Sudhi

▪️The General Staff managed to carry out an operation to capture the city of Avdiivka with minimal losses. Successful military operations in this sector of the front will be included in history textbooks, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told Russian President Vladimir Putin.
According to him, the Russian Armed Forces created unbearable conditions for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Avdiivka, and the soldiers of the Kiev regime were forced to flee. Russian troops carried out 460 strikes a day on concreted Avdiivka, which is 200 tons of ammunition. Only for February 17-18, the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost 2,400 soldiers, Shoigu noted.
Hastily leaving the positions, the Ukrainian army soldiers left a lot of Western weapons. The President added that the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine gave the order to withdraw from Avdiivka, already when the Ukrainian troops were fleeing from there.
The Defense Minister stressed that offensive operations after taking control of the city continue to the west, 72 square kilometers have been liberated. The movement of Russian troops does not stop.▪️The town of Krynki in the Kherson region is under the full control of the Russian Armed Forces.

But alive or dead, the prize-winning propaganda of Navalny’s story bears no resemblance to the truth.

▪️But I’ll start in 1948 when the State of Israel was created by an act of genocide. The Zionist leaders had always known that to have a Jewish state in Palestine, they would have to kill and/or expel the native Palestinians. They didn’t advertise that too blatantly, but they said it many times in so many words.🔸Avdiivka — the best thing that could happen to Ukraine

▪️Although I regularly say that the historical process is not deterministic, that there is no fatal predestination of any events. But there are tendencies that are very difficult, almost impossible to change, because they stem from the depths of the national mentality, from the archetype laid down by our distant, wild ancestors🔸Ukrainian intelligence confirmed the death of a pilot who hijacked a Russian helicopter
https://m.vz.ru/news/2024/2/19/1254270.html
▪️The official representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Andrey Yusov confirmed the death of pilot Maxim Kuzminov.
In August last year, it became known that Russian pilot Maxim Kuzminov hijacked a Mi-8 helicopter and landed on it in the Kharkiv region-in the territory controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Later, the pilot said that he had stolen a helicopter for the armed forces of Ukraine. On board the hijacked Mi-8, in addition to Kuzminov, there were two servicemen who died.▪️Russian positions in the special operation zone were attacked in late January with a toxic chemical banned in the European Union, the head of the radiation, chemical and Biological Protection Forces (RCBZ)said Russian Armed Forces Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov.
Kirillov, at a briefing on the violation of the requirements of the Chemical Weapons Convention by the United States and Ukraine, said that the chemical used on January 31 against Russian troops led to burns of the upper respiratory tract, nausea and vomiting.
The presence of the toxic substance anthraquinone, which has a pronounced toxic effect and causes blindness, liver and kidney function disorders, was found, Kirillov said in a statement from the Russian Defense Ministry.
https://m.vz.ru/news/2024/2/19/1254202.html▪️Icons of St. George and Alexander Nevsky were pacified during a religious procession around the monastery near Lisichansk (LPR) on the day when the Russian military finally liberated Avdiivka, Archpriest Dimitry Vasilenkov, the chief military priest of the Russian Orthodox Church in the SVR zone, said.
The procession was held around the monastery on February 17, when Russian troops stormed Avdiivka completely and irrevocably, and suddenly the icons were silenced, reports TASS. The priest noted that now five elderly nuns live in the monastery without water or heating, who pray for Russian soldiers, and go in a procession around the monastery every day.🔸Forwarded from Ostashko!
▪️🇫🇲The General Staff of the Russian Federation spoke about NATO military personnel in the ranks of the Ukrainian army. According to Colonel General Sergei Rudsky, NATO specialists are already participating in military operations in Ukraine: they “directly” prepare military operations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and manage expensive Western weapons under the guise of mercenaries.
📝“They control air defense systems of operational-tactical missiles and multiple launch rocket systems, and are part of assault detachments. Currently, the Ukrainian people are being used by the United States as cannon fodder to realize geopolitical ambitions for global dominance ,” the officer added.
▪️🇺🇦 🔥 A drone production plant in Lviv was burned by Ukrainian partisans. On the night from Saturday to Sunday, as reported by TG channels, local underground fighters eliminated the plant’s guards, then doused the plant with gasoline and burned it. The fire covered an area of more than 400 sq.m. UkroSMI presented this either as the result of an explosion for an unknown reason, or did not cover it at all.
❗️Journalist Yuriy Podolyaka notes that the plant produced 5 thousand drones per month for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Among them are the Furia, Leleka 100 UAVs, RAM II UAV and others.▪️🇾🇪🇺🇸 The Houthis shot down another American MQ-9 Reaper drone. A representative of the Ansar Allah movement, Brigadier General Yahya Sari, said that the drone was shot down in the Hodeidah area.
The Houthis also successfully hit the British ship Rubymar, causing serious damage to it. Earlier, the United States reported that the Houthis began using seaborne semi-submersible drones to attack American ships.
▪️Sky News Arabia claims that the British bulk carrier Rubymar, damaged by the Houthis, sank due to fire and damage received.
There is no other confirmation yet. If confirmed, it would be the first ship sunk by the Houthis since the start of the strike campaign off the coast of Yemen.▪️🇺🇦☢️ The Ukrainian Armed Forces used American chemical ammunition against Russian troops. This was stated by the head of the RKhBZ troops, Kirillov. Thus, on December 28, 2023, in the Krasnoliman direction, American-made gas grenades filled with the CS substance were dropped from a UAV on the positions of Russian troops.
This substance irritates the eyes and upper respiratory tract, and in high concentrations can cause skin burns, respiratory paralysis and cardiac arrest.
🇺🇸Now the Kiev regime, together with Western curators, is developing new combat tactics using a “special chemical belt,” Kirillov added.
📝 “It involves blowing up containers with hydrocyanic acid and ammonia during the advance of Russian troops,” he explained.
❗️ Such tactics, according to Kyiv’s idea, should complicate the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces and give Kyiv time to prepare defensive positions in the Zaporozhye, Kharkov and Sumy regions.🔸Forwarded from Zergulio:
▪️⚡️In Spain, Maxim Kuzminov, who hijacked a Russian military helicopter, was allegedly found dead. He didn’t run for long. He didn’t just steal a helicopter – he also killed the crew. And all this for $500,000.
Was the money of no use? Choked, you nit? The earth is glassy for you, Maxim.▪️⚡️Vladimir Putin allowed Expobank to buy the Russian division of the British HSBC (c)
In general, such news should be framed and hung on the wall. HSBC is one of the largest financial conglomerates in the world, the largest UK bank by assets and market capitalization. An octopus of monstrous size, whose tentacle was cut off for almost the first time in history.
▪️⚡️Vladimir Putin transferred the Ulyanovsk Machine Tool Plant, owned by the Japanese-German machine tool manufacturer DMG Mori, to the temporary management of the Federal Property Management Agency. The plant began operations in 2015, the Japanese-German DMG Mori invested 4.5 billion rubles in it. The company decided to close the plant and lay off employees after the start of the CBO.
⚡️The Prosecutor General’s Office filed a lawsuit demanding that the privatization of the state-owned enterprise Ivanovo Heavy Machine Tool Plant (IZTS) in 1992 be declared illegal. As a result of illegal privatization, there was a “disposal of property from the ownership of the Russian Federation against its will.”
⚡️The Volga City Court of the Volgograd Region recognized the activities of Konstantin Efimenko and Elizaveta Andreeva, owners of PJSC Ural Autotextile Plant, as extremist. The court also decided to ban the activities of these people on the territory of Russia and transfer the enterprises controlled by them in the Russian Federation to the Federal Property Management Agency.
Today, it is better for liberals and fighters against the regime to read news, either standing or sitting on titanium furniture.February 18, 2024 at 14:21 in reply to: The Cornucopia – Art, Music, Poems, Creative Stories, Myth, & Glories 20.12.23 #25970Sudhi

ParticipantPlastics Cannot Be Recycled and Producers Know This:
https://sputnikglobe.com/20240217/plastics-cannot-be-recycled-and-producers-know-this-report-claims-1116836370.html
▪️The Center for Climate Integrity (CCI) released a report on Thursday which details how the plastics industry has evolved its marketing pitch in order to circumvent public backlash and potential regulation.
According to a report by the CCI, despite their knowledge that recycling plastics is not technically or economically practical, petrochemical companies have continued to push “fraudulent” marketing and public outreach campaigns to convince consumers otherwise. Doing so, the report says, has stalled legislative and regulatory action that could have addressed plastic waste and pollution long ago.
“Fossil fuel and other petrochemical companies have used the false promise of plastic recycling to exponentially increase virgin plastic production over the last six decades, creating and perpetuating the global plastic waste crisis and imposing significant costs on communities that are left to pay for the consequences,” the CCI wrote.…“Companies like ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron Phillips, and Dow—independently and through their industry trade associations—have colluded to deceive the public for half a century, despite extensive evidence that recycling is not a viable solution to the plastic waste problem,” the CCI wrote.

TELEGRAM from the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation
to Colonel General A.N. MORDVICHEV:
“ Today, the “Center” group of troops, developing an offensive, completely captured the city of Avdeevka of the Donetsk People’s Republic. units: 30th separate motorized rifle brigade of the 2nd Army; 35th separate motorized rifle brigade, 55th separate motorized rifle brigade (mountain), 74th separate motorized rifle brigade of the 41st Army; 1st separate motorized rifle brigade, 9th separate motorized rifle brigade, 114th separate motorized rifle brigade, 1454 motorized rifle regiment, 10th tank regiment of the 1st army corps; 6th Tank Regiment, 80th Tank Regiment, 239th Tank Regiment of the 90th Tank Division.
For excellent military operations, I express my gratitude to all the troops led by you who took part in the battles for Avdeevka.
Eternal glory to the heroes who fell in battle while solving the problems of a special military operation!
Supreme Commander-in-Chief of
the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation V. Putin▪️According to a statement by the Russian Ministry of Defense, the total advance during and after the capture of Avdeevka was 8.6 kilometers. More than 30 square kilometers of Donbass have been liberated. Active offensive operations by our troops continue. Now there are battles for Lastochkino. The enemy has not left there yet.
In the city itself, the cleanup is still ongoing – individual enemy soldiers abandoned by the command and who did not have time to escape are still hiding in the city.
▪️Peskov said that lists of those who distinguished themselves during the liberation of Avdeevka are now being prepared. Mass awards will be held soon.
The contribution of the VKS pilots, who with their systematic strikes paved the way for our attack aircraft, was especially noted.
▪️Also in the evening they report serious tactical successes of our troops in the Rabotinsky direction. The heights between Verbov and Rabotino are occupied. Height control will ensure further advance through adjacent plantings east of Rabotino.▪️The President of Nigeria, who threatened to intervene in Niger last fall and assembled a coalition of the ECOWAS group of countries for this purpose, changed his shoes and declared that coups d’etat in countries that had left ECOWAS cannot serve as an obstacle to the development of regional cooperation between African countries.
In fact, in a veiled form, he expressed his readiness to recognize all new military governments in countries that had escaped from the French colonial yoke and to build relations, taking into account new realities. Thus, France’s plans for diplomatic encirclement and isolation of military regimes in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso are crumbling.Sudhi

Participant“A Winter Evening”
by Alexander Pushkin –Sable clouds by tempest driven
Snowflakes whirling in the gales
Hark—it sounds like grim wolves howling
Hark—now like a child it wails
Creeping through the rustling straw thatch
Rattling on the mortared walls
Like some weary wanderer knocking
On the lowly pane it fallsOld our hut, is dark and dreary
By a candle dimly lit
Why, my dear, so sad weary
By the window do you sit
Is it because the storm is moaning
Has the spinning wheel’s soft whirring
Hummed a mournful song to theeSweetheart of my youthful springtime
Thou true-souled companion dear
Let us drink! Away with sadness
Wine will fill our hearts with cheer
Sing me a song of the bluetit
Which lives quietly across the sea
Sing me a song of how the young girl
Went fetching water in the morningOver the earth a storm is prowling
Bringing a whirling, blinding snow
Like a beast I hear it howling
As an infant wailing low
Come, o comrade solitary
Of this cheerless youth of mine
Take a cup, and let us bury
All our many woes in wine ! -
