Die USA und Israel wollen angeblich islamistische Diktaturen bekämpfen.
„Für Freiheit und Demokratie.“
Deshalb haben sie in Syrien einen IS- & Al-Qaida-Terroristen installiert.
Macht Sinn. Das glauben alle, die in den letzten Jahren keine Nahost-Politik verfolgt haben.

Mit 57 zu 43 Prozent hat CDU-Herausforderer @GordonSchnieder laut SWR das TV-Duell gegen Amtsinhaber Schweitzer (SPD) gewonnen. Das war es dann wohl mit dem Amtsbonus.

“If people take to the streets to protest, we will do to them what we have done to the enemy. Our hands are on the trigger.”
R to @BallouxFrancois: It remains that this constant firehose of falsehood is eroding our democratic institution. Without, a modicum of respect for objective facts and the truth, democracy eventually dies.

R to @BallouxFrancois: Obviously, a major difference with totalitarian regimes, such as Iran or Russia is that we are free to call out and challenge any claim we believe to be false - I don't worry about getting a knock on the door by the police for this thread.

R to @BallouxFrancois: Morality and legitimacy of the Iran war aside, I find it unsettling that our (i.e., the West's) propaganda is more deceitful, misleading, and full of blatant lies than that of the Iranian regime.

R to @BallouxFrancois: The recent accidental bombing of the Minat school on the first day of the war by the US is illustrative of the 'firehose of falsehood' level of propaganda we're drowning under. It would make Russian propagandists proud.

In brief, there is clear evidence of RISING INCOMES FROM CAPITALIST DEVELOPMENT in 19th century England.
This doesn't mean that there was no improvement of nutrition in England in the 18th century. The fact that vastly more food was produced meant that everyone was getting a bit more of it, not just the richer workers in towns.
The main problem in England was INSUFFICIENCY of nutrition. Meat was costly and milk was, of course, of extremely low quality. Nevertheless, the richer workers from London and the big cities were able to afford more of these inputs.
And although there is some evidence that most of this additional nutrition was consumed by the male head of the family, some of it must have percolated down to the mother and hence to infants - and to children.
THE SIGNAL OF IMPROVED NUTRITION AS THE MAIN DRIVER OF THE FIRST ROUND OF LIFE EXPECTANCY IMPROVEMENTS IS VERY STRONG.
But simultaneously, housing and clothing was getting better (even if very marginally so), which meant diseases transmitted by rats and fleas were being slightly reduced.
We know very clearly that by the 1870s, children were surviving in sufficiently large numbers (and had become costly), that demand for children fell steeply - even as the rate of urbanisation continued to rise, relentlessly.
THESE TWO: (A) urbanisation and (B) drop in TFR (from high survival of infants) - are the strongest signals of capitalist development and improved productivity.
Der Präsident spürt Druck aus der eigenen Partei, die Angriffe einzustellen. Vor den Zwischenwahlen können sich die Republikaner keinen hohen Ölpreis leisten.

Matt Ridley will be giving the inaugural lecture for @NIH's new lecture series for scientific freedom next week.
Topic: Covid origins.
I hope NIH staffers will keep an open mind and attend the lecture.
There is a war raging at our doorstep.
Hungary has a government that:
1️⃣ Will not send soldiers to Ukraine
2️⃣ Will not send weapons to Ukraine
3️⃣ Will not fund the conflict
The stakes of the next election are clear.
Hungary must stay out of this war! 🇭🇺

پیام نخست وزیر نتانیاهو به مردم ایران:
مردم ایران،
🔹️ما در حال انجام یک جنگ تاریخی برای آزادی هستیم.
🔹️این فرصتی بینظیر برای شماست تا رژیم آیتاللهها را سرنگون کنید و آزادی خود را به دست آورید.
🔹️همراه با ایالات متحده، ما سختتر از همیشه به مستبدان تهران ضربه میزنیم. آیتالله دیگر وجود ندارد و من میدانم که شما نمیخواهید او با مستبد دیگری جایگزین شود.
🔹️بنابراین شما باید اقدام کنید. ما در حال ایجاد شرایطی برای شما هستیم تا این کار را انجام دهید.
🔹️ما به اهداف بیشماری از رژیم ضربه زدهایم.
🔹️ما هزاران نفر از اراذل و اوباش سپاه و صدها موشکانداز آنها را از بین بردهایم.
🔹️ما بر اهداف رژیم متمرکز هستیم و تمام تلاش خود را میکنیم تا به مردم ایران آسیبی نرسانیم.
🔹️ما متحد شما هستیم. بهترین متحد شما.
🔹️ما کاملاً به تمامیت ارضی، فرهنگ و میراث شما احترام میگذاریم.
🔹️شما درخواست کمک کردید و کمک از راه رسید. ما با قدرت فزایندهای به مستبدانی که دههها شما را وحشتزده کردند، ضربه خواهیم زد.
🔹️آیتاللهها و نوچههایشان در حال فرار هستند، اما آن بزدلان جایی برای پنهان شدن ندارند.
🔹️در روزهای آینده شرایطی را برای شما فراهم خواهیم کرد تا سرنوشت خود را به دست بگیرید. رویاهایتان به واقعیت تبدیل خواهند شد.
🔹️وقتی زمان مناسب فرا برسد، و آن زمان به سرعت در حال نزدیک شدن است، مشعل را به شما خواهیم داد.
آماده باشید تا لحظه را غنیمت بشمارید!

It shows how LONDON FAMILIES WERE BETTER FED in the 1840s than rural families. (Although here's the key point: bread alone is NOT sufficient, and malnutrition continued on many fronts. And, of course, they were still very poor by modern standards. Today, families in England don't spend more than 1% of their budget on bread.)
