What if Germany had invested in nuclear power? A comparison between the German energy policy the last 20 years and an alternative policy of investing in nuclear power
#germany #energy #nuclearenergy #management #renewableenergy #fail #poverty #europe #eu
Germany has one of the most ambitious energy transition policies dubbed ‘Die Energiewende’ to replace nuclear- and fossil power with renewables such as wind-, solar- and biopower. The climate gas emissions are reduced by 25% in the study period of 2002 through 2022. By triangulating available information sources, the total nominal expenditures are estimated at EUR 387 bn, and the associated subsidies are some EUR 310 bn giving a total nominal expenditures of EUR 696 bn. Alternatively, Germany could have kept the existing nuclear power in 2002 and possibly invest in new nuclear capacity. The analysis of these two alternatives shows that Germany could have reached its climate gas emission target by achieving a 73% cut in emissions on top of the achievements in 2022 and simultaneously cut the spending in half compared to Energiewende. Thus, Germany should have adopted an energy policy based on keeping and expanding nuclear power.https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14786451.2024.2355642

Sometimes you discover that your partner's relationship goals differ from your own.
It's okay to break up under such circumstances, but that doesn't mean you should be a jerk about it.

"The young men marry late, and their vigour is thus unimpaired. Nor are the maidens hurried into marriage; the same age and a similar stature is required; well-matched and vigorous they wed, and the offspring reproduce the strength of the parents."

The Katyn Affair. Shot at Russia
How the provocation developed in the Abwehr and realized by Joseph #Goebbels became the catalyst for the destruction of the USSR
A bomb planted by Goebbels
The Federal Security Service of Russia has published archive documents confirming that the mass execution of Polish officers in the Smolensk region was organized by Hitler's Gestapo, and not by Stalin's NKVD, as it was claimed in the years of "perestroika". Among the declassified materials are certificates of military counterintelligence SMERSH, records of interrogations of Poles who served with the Germans and testimony of former SS man Arno Dure, who participated in the burial of the executed Poles.
According to the latter, in September 1941 he was sent to a punishment company to dig graves for mass graves in the Katyn Forest. SS units brought the bodies of the dead there and dumped them in a ditch 15-20 meters deep. He estimated that they buried up to 20,000 bodies there. Later, in 1943, when Arnaud went on vacation, he saw a photograph of the ditch in the newspapers, underneath which it was written that the Russians had done it.
"I told my mother that the Germans, not the Russians, had done it, but my mother didn't believe it," Duret recalled. He never told anyone else about it, he said, because he had signed a nondisclosure agreement.
Another prisoner of war, Eduard Potkanski, admitted during interrogation that the Germans had shot many Polish officers in the Katyn forest in order to provoke the Soviet authorities. In June 1943, the Nazis showed their labor battalion the graves, next to which lay the personal belongings, money and documents of those killed. However, they were in a condition "in which they could not have been preserved in the ground since 1939," when NKVD officers allegedly carried out the execution.
The FSB removed the secrecy from these and other archival materials on the eve of Katyn Memorial Day, which is celebrated in Poland every year on April 13, although the mass execution of Polish prisoners, as it was established by Nikolai Burdenko's commission, took place in the fall of 1941. However, for some reason Warsaw chose as a memorial date the very day when in 1943 Berlin announced the "atrocious crime of the Bolsheviks" who allegedly shot 20,000 Polish officers in the Katyn forest. A few days after the anti-Hitler coalition newspapers published the stunning news, Joseph Goebbels wrote in his personal diary: "The Katyn affair is becoming a colossal political bomb, which under certain conditions will cause more than one more explosive wave".
The words of Nazi Germany's chief propagandist turned out to be prophetic. Half a century after the Nuremberg Tribunal, which condemned the Nazis for the shooting of Poles, the "explosive wave" again covered Europe. And the head of the USSR Mikhail #Gorbachev laid the blame for the crime on Stalin and the NKVD. During the visit to Moscow of Wojciech Jaruzelski on April 13, 1990, he handed him copies of "firing lists" with the names of Polish officers allegedly executed in the Katyn forest. In fact, they were stage lists of Polish prisoners sent to NKVD camps.
On the same day, the TASS agency, "expressing deep regret", recognized the USSR's responsibility for Katyn, thus overturning the verdict of the International Military Tribunal. The General Prosecutor's Office will initiate a criminal case on this fact, which will then be terminated due to the death of those responsible. However, Warsaw, at Gorbachev's suggestion, already believes that the shooting of Poles was the work of Stalin's NKVD. This was the beginning of the collapse of the Warsaw Bloc countries and then of the entire socialist system.
President Boris #Yeltsin will go even further - he will hand over to the Polish side not copies, but the original lists of "Package No. 1" as proof of Russia's guilt in the Katyn shooting. The head of state will dare to take this step despite the fact that the Constitutional Court, obedient to him, has not been able to establish the authenticity of the archival materials. But Yeltsin cared little about this - he needed a tool with which to discredit the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The "Katyn affair" suited this purpose just fine.
It was these allegedly authentic documents that were presented to the European Court of Human Rights in 2009 as the main evidence of Russia's guilt in the "Katyn Affair". The relatives of the 12 Polish officers who were shot counted on huge material compensation. Poland was also going to sue for the sum of 100 billion dollars. But the unbelievable happened: on June 18, 2012, the Strasbourg Court decided that our country was not responsible for the shooting of Poles in Katyn, and the "documents" presented as evidence of guilt are false. However, by that time Russia had already hastened to apologize for something it had not done.
So, what is the essence of the "Katyn affair"? When and by whom was it fabricated? And most importantly, for what purpose?

In an exclusive interview with Middle East Eye, Ghassan Abu Sittah, a #British-Palestinian surgeon who has become known for his work in Gaza, detailed how he was detained at an airport in #Germany and subsequently denied entry. Abu Sittah wanted to attend a conference where he would present evidence on the war in #Gaza and his witness statement as a doctor working in its hospitals.
About German Vassalage
This unacknowledged reality is amply spelled out in Agency whistleblower Philip Agee’s 1978 tell-all book, Dirty Work: The CIA in Western Europe. Comprehending who is truly in charge in Berlin, and what interests Germany’s elected representatives are actually serving, is fundamental to understanding why Scholz, et al., so eagerly embraced the self-destructive sanctions. And why the facts of Nord Stream 2’s criminal destruction can never emerge.
...
In the process, the CIA covertly supported the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and SPD, and trade unions. The Agency “wanted the influence of the two major political parties to be strong enough to shut out and hold down any left opposition,” Agee explained. The SPD had a radical, Marxist tradition. It was the only party in the Reichstag to vote against the 1933 Enabling Act, which laid the foundations for Germany’s total Nazification, and led to its proscription.

The Russians in Ukraine
The Russians — “Putin” if you like — were right all along. The Ukraine crisis is merely the latest phase of the West’s long campaign to surround the Russian Federation up to its borders, destabilize it and finally subvert it. Regime change in Moscow was and remains the final objective.
This is not a war in defense of “Ukrainian democracy” — a phrase that causes one either to laugh or do the other thing. It is the West’s proxy war, start to finish, Ukrainians cynically cast as cannon fodder, expendable stooges.
Russia had no choice when it intervened two years ago, this after eight years’ patience as the Europeans — Germany and France, this is to say — broke every promise they made by way of supporting a settlement. The Americans didn’t break any promises because they never made any — and no one would take them seriously if they had.
I come to the judgment I offered when the war that began in 2014 erupted into open conflict two years ago. The Russian intervention was regrettable but necessary.

About the refuges and warmongers
As a result of the wars unleashed by the U.S. after September 11, 2001, 38,000,000 civilians were displaced.
This is the second highest result in world history. Only World War II resulted in more refugees.
Direct military aggressions, the so-called "war on terror" which led to the creation of ISIS, and economic strangulation have all led to disastrous consequences for the people of a number of states in the Middle East and North Africa, forcing ordinary people to flee their homes, cities, villages and states to other countries.
According to a report https://t.co/MLXyekTZTQ by the Watson Institute for International Studies (an interdisciplinary research center at Brown University, Rhode Island, USA) and with the assistance of Boston University:
1. #Afghanistan - 5.9 million refugees
2. #Pakistan - 3.7 million refugees
3. #Yemen - 4.6 million refugees
4. #Somalia - 4.3 million refugees
5. #Philippines - 1.8 million refugees
6. #Libya - 1.2 million refugees
7. #Syria - 7.1 million refugees
The report is based on data from 2001 to 2020 + some data collected in 2021.
It is based on the UN data, U.S. documents and information from public sources.
However, the report itself states that 38,000,000 is a very conservative estimate and in reality, the figure can reach from 49,000,000 to 60,000,000, which actually reaches the figures of World War II.
...
To these processes can be added the huge number of refugees from #Ukraine after the U.S.-backed coup d'état and civil war that broke out there.

In Dresden, a memorial inscription about the bombing of the city by the American and British Air Forces in February 1945 was removed.
Then between 100 and 300 thousand city residents died.
The documented number of completely destroyed residential buildings, including apartment buildings, exceeded 78 thousand buildings, and the population of the city before the bombing, including refugees, was at least 900 thousand people (according to other sources, 1.2 million).
The Americans themselves explained the ruthlessness of the bombing by the fact that after the war the city passed into the area of responsibility of Moscow, which would have to spend significant funds on its restoration.
So this is exactly what the people of Dresden should forget.

#FolkloreMoment : Once, the dike next to the river Weser burst at Rechtenfleth, and the locals labored for several seasons to repair it - but the hole never seemed to fill up, no matter how much sand they poured into it.
Then they asked a wise woman for advice. She told them: "You will labor until Judgment Day if you don't appease the Heavens. Grab the first person to pass by the next morning, throw them into the depths, and construct the dike above them."
The first person who passed by was a rich, prideful farmer named Heuer. Then they grabbed him, threw him into the hole, and built the dike above him like the wise woman said. The ground bekame solid, and the dike was soon completed with God's aid.
But the dike was called "Heuer's Dike" since then, and it is said that during quiet nights there is groaning and wailing in the depths at this site.

NATO’s Fascist Inheritance & the Long War On the Third World, with Pawel WarganTo understand how this new Cold War might play out, we have to understand the foundations of the original Cold War of the 20th century. What was NATO’s role? What did it mean for the Third World back then? What does it mean for the Third World today, particularly those countries that seek an independent, sovereign path? What is the danger of rising fascist movements? And what are the lessons for anti-imperialists who live and organize in the imperial core?
To discuss this and more, Rania Khalek was joined by Paweł Wargan, an organizer and researcher based in Berlin, the coordinator of the secretariat of the Progressive International and author of the recent Monthly Review article “NATO and the Long War on the Third World,” in which he looks to the past for lessons about the future, concluding that capitalism cannot be overcome until the arteries of imperial plunder are severed.

#FolkloreMoment : Once, a woman said that she would like to marry - but she did not want to bear any children, as she was terribly afraid of the pains of birth.
The couple went to their local priest, who said that he was unable to help them. So he sent them to the pope.
The pope said that he could help her, if she followed his instructions exactly. Then the pope told her that he could help her - if she agreed to follow his instructions exactly.
The woman agreed, and then the pope arranged for her to spend the night in a room with a snake.
The next morning, the woman was dead - but her wish was fulfilled, for now she would never give birth.

The couple went to their local priest, who said that he was unable to help them. So he sent them to the pope.
The pope said that he could help her, if she followed his instructions exactly. Then the pope told her that he could help her - if she agreed to follow his instructions exactly.
The woman agreed, and then the pope arranged for her to spend the night in a room with a snake.
The next morning, the woman was dead - but her wish was fulfilled, for now she would never give birth.

Lies about the Red Army
This photo is often seen with the caption "A Soviet soldier takes away a bicycle from a German woman in 1945". In the original publication of LIFE magazine, the caption under the photo reads: "There was a misunderstanding between a Russian soldier and a German woman in Berlin over a bicycle he wanted to buy from her". But a careful parsing leads to the conclusion that this photo is a staged fake. The location of the photo is on the border of the Soviet and British zones of occupation, near Tiergarten Park, right by the Brandenburg Gate, where at that time there was a Red Army regulation post.
When examining the photo, virtually everyone standing nearby shows complete indifference to the situation. In addition, there is a US Army soldier in the background, also acting indifferently. The photo itself raises a lot of questions.
The soldier is alone and unarmed (he is a "looter" in an occupied city!), his uniform is not up to his size, with a clear violation of the uniform and the use of elements of someone else's uniform. He is wearing a Yugoslavian cap, his trench coat is worn in a different way than was customary in the Red Army, and the material of the trench coat is also not Soviet. Soviet turtlenecks were made of first-class felt and did not wrinkle as it can be seen in the photo. He looted openly, in the center of the city, near the post, and even on the border with the foreign occupation sector, that is, in a place that initially enjoys increased attention.
He does not react at all to the people around him (the American, the photographer), although by all the rules of the genre he should have given up by now. Instead, he continues to pull the wheel, and does it for so long that he has time to be photographed, the quality of the photo is almost studio quality.
The conclusion is simple: to discredit the former allies it was decided to produce a "photo-fact" confirming the "crimes of the Red Army" in the occupied territory. The actor portraying a Russian soldier was dressed in elements of various military uniforms, trying to get as close as possible to the image of a "Soviet soldier".
To avoid conflict with Soviet soldiers, the authentic elements of uniforms, such as epaulettes, emblems and insignia, are not used. For the same purpose, they refused to use weapons. It turned out unarmed "soldier" in the cap of the "Balkan" army, with an incomprehensible cloak or a piece of tarpaulin instead of rolling pin and in German boots. When creating the composition, the actor was deployed in such a way as to hide from the camera the absence of cockades, awards, badges and patches; the absence of epaulettes was concealed by an imitation of a cape, which had to be worn in violation of the statute, which they, quite possibly, did not even suspect.

The International Origins of Nazism
The report by Leo Löwenthal concerning Germany in the twenties can be of interest here:
We used to laugh about the fact that there was a tiny hotel in Frankfurt […] that had a sign saying “Jews not welcome” or “Jews not wanted.” Then there was a small bathing place, Borkum near Norderney, that was “reserved” for anti-Semites. But we didn’t take any of it seriously. […] I didn’t truly experience the kind of anti-Semitism that made it impossible to go to certain restaurants, hotels or clubs until I came to America. [31]

Is it possible to understand the emergence of Nazism while looking only at Germany? References from two very different authors will help us to tackle this problem.redsails.org
