Glenn Diesen: Vladno financirane nevladne organizacije so skorumpirale civilno družbo

Tale članek spodaj od enega izmed vodilnih mlajših evropskih teoretikov mednarodnih odnosov, Glenna Diesna, je obvezno branje za droben uvid v to, kako vladno financirane “nevladne organizacije” pod krinko “civilne družbe” širijo vladno propagando in kako manjšina vladno financiranih osebkov v “nevladnih organizacijah” v javnosti preglasi veliko večino družbe. To vlogo so “nevladne organizacije” odigrale tudi glede vojne v Ukrajini – brezsramno so širile ameriško propagando.

“Nevladne organizacije” so oksimoron, ker so praktično vse financirane s strani vlade. Zaradi tega je masaker, ki ga Musk in Trump delata nad USAID in NED, glavnima financerjema nevladnih organizacij po svetu, dober, kajti razkril je hobotnico in mehanizem delovanja “nevladnih organizacij” in pripeljal do bankrota in in propada večine izmed njih, ker bodo izgubile vladno financiranje. Poglejte samo dretje v ukrajinskem medijskem kokošnjaku, ko je prejšnji teden usahnilo financiranje s strani USAID. Nenadoma je zmanjkalo denarja za razširjanje ameriške propagande.

Organisations operating under the banner of “human rights non-governmental organisations” (NGOs) have become key actors in disseminating war propaganda, intimidating academics, and corrupting civil society. These NGOs act as gatekeepers determining which voices should be elevated and which should be censored and cancelled.

Civil society is imperative to balance the power of the state, yet the state is increasingly seeking to hijack the representation of civil society through NGOs. NGOs can be problematic on their own as they can enable a loud minority to override a silent majority. Yet, the Reagan doctrine exacerbated the problem as these “human rights NGOs” were financed by the government and staffed by people with ties to intelligence agencies to ensure civil society does not deviate significantly from government policies.

The ability of academics to speak openly and honestly is restricted by these gatekeepers. Case in point, the NGOs limit dissent in academic debates about the great power rivalry in Ukraine. Well-documented and proven facts that are imperative to understanding the conflict are simply not reported in the media, and any efforts to address these facts are confronted with vague accusations of being “controversial” or “pro-Russian”, a transgression that must be punished with intimidation, censorship, and cancellation.

I will first outline my personal experiences with one of these NGOs, and second how the NGOs are hijacking civil society.

Mi s CO2 kuponi ubijamo industrijo, Kitajska pa podira rekorde pri uporabi premoga

Pri Mednarodni agenciji za energijo so sistematično narobe forsirali teorijo o “vrhu povpraševanja po premogu”, pri čemer so sistematično vsako leto ugotavljali, da ta vrh še ni prišel. No, zdaj vsaj ne napovedujejo več tega vrha v naslednjih letih, kar pa ne pomeni, da priznavajo napačnost svoje teorije. Kitajska porabi za 30 % več premoga kot vse ostale države skupaj in bo s tem nadaljevala, da bo lahko zagotovila dovolj električne energije za svojo rastočo industrijo (glejte spodnjo nit). Medtem ko se Evropa samouničuje s kuponi za CO2.

Koliko let potrebujejo največji tepci med politiki, da spoznajo svojo zmoto?

Consign coal to history? Forget it.

China pushed global coal demand to a record high in 2024, @IEA said in its coal flagship report.
The IEA has now ditched its “peak coal” theory and sees higher demand in 2025, 2026 and 2027.

The IEA estimates that global coal demand surged to an all-time high of 8,771 million metric tons this year, up 1% from 20232, as electricity demand rose faster than expected.

The IEA revised, too, its historical data, so the rise comes from a higher baseline.

Kdo je profitiral z energetsko krizo?

Kratek odgovor na podlagi nove raziskave Isabelle Weber in kolegov se glasi: Amerika in naftna industrija, ki je skupaj dobila za dodatnih 275 milijard dolarjev v obliki višjih dobičkov. Dobički ruskih družb so se povečali za polovico glede na povprečje let 2016-2019, dobički saudijskih družb za 2-krat, dobički ameriških družb pa kar za 6-krat. Ta energetska kriza zaradi vojne v Ukrajini je bila bonanza za ameriško naftno industrijo.

No, natančneje, profitirali so lastniki delnic ameriške naftne industrije. Zgornji 1 % najbolj premožnih Američanov je dobil 51 % tega dobička, spodnjih 50 % prebivalstva pa le 1 %. Pa še višjo inflacijo so dobili za zraven (tisti z nižjimi dohodki imajo drugačen indeks cen zaradi drugačne strukture potrošnje.

The 2022 fossil fuel price jumps caused an oil and gas profit explosion. We show the US reaped the largest profit increase (USD 275 bn) of any country. Big Oil claims this benefits the American people. In fact, 51% went to the richest 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%.  Image

This new working paper has been the outcome of an interdisciplinary collaboration with high powered modelers and wonderful colleagues.

Razlogi za Trumpov povratek

Andrew Korybko

Trump just beat Kamala despite the formidable odds that were against him. He survived two assassination attempts, withstood the government’s lawfare, and is on track to secure the popular vote even though the legacy media was fully in support of his opponent. Speaking of her, she’s infamous for repeating her phrase about America becoming “unburdened by what has been”, which means moving past the Trump era. Ironically, the country just moved past her, and here’s how it happened:

———-

1. “It’s The Economy, Stupid!”

Democrat consultant James Carville famously coined the abovementioned phrase in reference to the most important electoral issue for most Americans. It still rings true to this day since the majority of the country is worse off after four years of the Biden-Harris Administration than it was after Trump’s first term. It doesn’t matter what the reasons for that are since such developments strongly work against incumbents. Americans accordingly voted to bring back the golden economy that Trump ushered in.

2. Immigration, Both Legal & Illegal, Is Out Of Control

Immigration is always a hot button issue, but it was even more so during this election due to the unprecedented influx of illegal immigrants that invaded the country under Biden and viral reports of legal Haitian immigrants brought in by the government eating people’s pets in Ohio. Trump pledged to crack down on the illegal component and more properly vet those who come into the country via legal channels to ensure that they’ll assimilate and integrate. This approach is wildly popular with Americans.

3. Folks Are Afraid Of World War III

Americans have never been as afraid of World War III as they are now. The NATO-Russian proxy war in Ukraine and the back-and-forth Israeli-Iranian strikes, each of which have the potential to spiral into the apocalypse in the worst-case scenario, were unthinkable under Trump. He promised to do his utmost to bring peace to Europe and the Mideast if he’s re-elected while Kamala promised more of the same policies that brought the world to the brink of war. A vote for Trump therefore became a vote for peace.

Ameriški vladi je uspelo uničiti tudi Samsung

Kot je povedal Kissinger: Nevarno je biti sovražnik Amerike, biti prijatelj pa je usodno.

No, to se je po Nemčiji, največjem evropskem gospodarstvu (zaradi vsiljenih sankcij proti Rusiji) in tajvanskem TSMC, največjem proizvajalcu čipov na svetu (zaradi prepovedi izvoza najbolj naprednih čipov v Kitajsko), zdaj zgodilo tudi južnokorejskemu Samsungu. Zaradi ameriških sankcij proti Kitajski in prepovedi izvoza najbolj naprednih čipov in čipov za umetno inteligenco naj bi Samsung odpustil 30 % osebja v litografiji čipov (30 % 4nm, 5nm, 7nm litografskih linij v Pyeongtaeku), načrtuje pa kar 50 % zaprtje linij do konca leta.

“Samsung’s drastic cuts and layoffs are a direct result of US sanctions against China, turning a once lucrative 31% revenue stream into zero. The tech giant is now scrambling to stay afloat in a geopolitical storm. Here’s how it all went down.”
