Journalists: The high priests of pretending
We begin pretending earlier than we realize. At first, the lies feel harmless. Adults tell children stories about Santa Claus. They invent magical worlds where good always wins, and evil is punished. Also, they promise that everything will turn out fine, even when it will not. They do it to protect innocence—or so they say.…

The impact of colonial history on modern geopolitics
Colonialism has officially ended. Yet its structures remain deeply embedded in the global system. In fact, the modern world order still runs on the mechanisms built by European empires. Colonial history does not sit in museums; instead, it lives in borders, currencies, alliances, and crises. It continues to shape how nations trade, borrow, vote, fight,…

Scholars and politicians as the same. Disgusting academia
They are so innocent and do everything to improve humankind’s well-being. Unlike dirty, corrupt, lying, and self-centered, egomaniacal, narcissistic politicians, they are devoid of these characteristics. I want to prove it wrong. Scholars and politicians are on the same level. Academia is not only a world just like showmen have (with their own rules), but…

Criminal government. What government isn’t criminal?
The Czech Republic has the privilege to have a dissident who, having suffered under communism, has turned his back. Nevertheless, Petr Cibulka started to claim that the only possible way out of the decay the Czech Republic was and is experiencing is the Swiss model of direct democracy that, in my opinion, doesn’t work even…

Will the US get back its political culture?
The United States once had a political culture where personal integrity and public trust were paramount. In past decades, even minor scandals could spell the end of a politician’s career, signaling a time when accountability mattered deeply to both the electorate and the political elite. Take, for instance, the case of President Richard Nixon. Though…

BRICS: Morally inferior and evil
My dear readers know I cannot loathe Western elites more. I hate the interconnected banking system (the Big Banks and their privatized central banks), super-rich families, multinational corporations, international lobbyists who are more powerful than POTUS, politicians (faces), lobbyists (local), crooks and movers and shakers. And this creates power patron-client relationships that are detrimental to…

The true criminals wear suits and ties
I tried to explain how stupid nature is to divide the good and bad guys in terms of Britannica’s childish views. People possess a moral system adapted to the African savannah, not for a mega complex world full of capital flows and intertwined super complex moral decisions of who will be born (out of luck,…

Only secular countries are rich
Countries that are rich but not secular include Saudi Arabia (oil), Qatar (oil and gas), Kuwait (oil), United Arab Emirates (oil and trade), Brunei (oil and gas), Oman (oil), Bahrain (oil and finance), and Malaysia (natural resources and manufacturing). And that’s it. Therefore, only secular countries are rich. This article explains why religion is a…

If China ruled the world
Even my occasional readers know I am a fierce critic of the USA. And why the US? Because criticizing China or Russia won’t change anything, you will only get killed. I am not saying the US doesn’t kill people, see Donald Trump at his best: “There are a lot of killers. You think our country’s…
