Who are the biggest secret services in the world serving and how powerful are they? Are they allowed to kill?
Is the influence of the world’s major secret services exaggerated? Absolutely not. It is far being diminished. You don’t know the old joke (and actually it is not a joke)? A German chancellor says something, leaning to the pro-Russian side, then suddenly makes a U-turn. I won’t comment on it and let my kind readers…

All political parties should be included in mainstream media
They call it democracy. They offer you two political parties (in the USA) and that’s it. But don’t worry, these two are ridden with lobbyists, crooks, movers-and-shakers, super-rich interest groups, and lodges’ members. The super-rich own the media and make sure that parties that are not subservient have no choice. Imagine representatives of the Libertarian…

Media distractions that work on Czechs
Every establishment makes distractions to divert attention from how horribly it treats its own citizens. Media produce stories that make citizens abstract away from the real problems. Since I always say my expertise in terms of statistics and deep knowledge is the US, I am more competent in coming up with media distractions in the…

Lesser evil: Definitely USA, not China or Russia
Imperial ambitions, massive hard and soft power, leverage everywhere you go. Good science is about to be made in our country, not elsewhere. Either we economically (thus politically) contain you or we leave you in eternal internal turmoil. It is our currency that should dominate the world. We ensure that technological superiority is ours by…

Winning the War on Drugs in the Czech Republic
Sit down, kids, and hear this tale. There have been drugs in the Czech Republic. Drugs so dangerous that they make people to be addicted and systematically destroy their lives. So we banned them and started huge repression. Now, we have one thousand problematic drug users. So that’s the happy end. No, we have 60,000…

Museum of Capitalistic Crimes and Museum of Communist Crimes
As an anti-socialist, anti-communist, and a man who wants heavily regulated capitalism, I found it utterly funny that after the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia, the new regime did exactly what new regimes do – blame all of its own mistakes on the preceding regime. So the old regime didn’t have any benefits, only liabilities. So…

Politicians and journalists would love to get rid of the lobbyists and super-rich interest groups, but people are the problem
Despite people denying being influenced by political commercials and TV with the obvious agenda, the opposite is true. People love establishment news offering only those parties tied to the super-rich groups. It same goes with social media. And what do the lobbyists and super-rich do? They completely destroy the political system (they are damaging the…

Is the Czech culture really Slavic? We have no clue
I always hear the Czech culture is Slavic with a strong German influence. I can’t deny that the Czech language is Slavic. It same goes for some folk habits. There is no doubt. However, when you want to prove some causation, you must at least use some factor analysis. And how do you prove some…

These liars offer you the 2-dimensional political spectrum. Here’s the reality
This is my modest suggestion on how the multidimensional spectrum should look like. But, of course, politicians and lobbyists are adamant. More redistribution/Less redistributionLiberal/ConservativeAnti-consumerism/ConsumerismTens of percent of GDP investing in science/Little investment in scienceTrillions of dollars for building whole countries/Little aidComplex grasp of what surplus value is and how to change the constellation of the…

The USA is a parody of capitalism
You would expect that the ring-wing-aligned US has proper, not malformed capitalism. Not only that it doesn’t give equal opportunities but the majority of the market and important branches of the economy are in the hands of the super-rich that control the country politically. Such political and economic deformity cannot lead to correct market mechanisms…
