Kirk, hidden killers, millions will die because lack of health care
Donald Trump calls for the death penalty for the worst criminals. He frames it as strength, as proof of his will to deliver justice. However, the same Trump once admitted in an interview: “There are a lot of killers. You think our country’s so innocent?” That line was not an accident. Instead, it was a…

The abuse of titans’ super-intelligence
Humanity often praises its great minds. These titans of intellect shaped history, invented theories, and built systems that changed the world. Yet their brilliance did not always serve truth or humanity. Many of them abused their intelligence. They produced errors, false systems, or destructive inventions. The paradox is striking: super-intelligence has been both humanity’s greatest…

Freethinkers, but restrained by everything
Freethinkers present themselves as challengers of dogma, defenders of independence, and voices of courage. Yet their reality is far less heroic. They face walls built by culture, academia, and money. Some ideas move easily with the current, while others drown before they ever surface. Power chooses which ones may live and which must vanish. Truth…

Read between the lines, if you are an intelligent reader
They always say there is no background political process. But why do they always insinuate (journalists) that there is something like that? So you must read between the lines. This article is a selection of quotes I have collected over time. They are from both English and Czech media. These are just pieces, but they…

Dictators rule by fear, democracies by hidden elites
Totalitarian regimes thrive on clarity. The state names the enemy openly, propaganda repeats it endlessly, and every citizen knows who to fear. Stalin labeled kulaks and wreckers. Hitler made Jews and Communists the ultimate threat. Mao identified counter-revolutionaries and rightists. These regimes could not survive without pointing to a visible enemy. The methods were brutal…

Why we should get rid of royals
The Czech Republic is officially a republic, but many treat the president as if he were a king. People project onto him a ceremonial aura, as though the office itself carried divine or hereditary weight. Citizens expect him to embody the national spirit, deliver moral guidance, and act as a symbol rather than simply a…

Did Israelis build a country themselves? Wrong
The popular story of Israel is simple. Brave settlers, driven by faith and determination, transformed desert and swamps into a modern state. According to this narrative, Israelis built everything with their own hands and sacrifices. It is a story repeated in textbooks, speeches, and media. But this story is misleading. Israel did not rise from…

Dollar domination and leading US scientific research
The United States stands as the world leader in science. It also controls the world’s money. These two powers are not separate achievements. They are deeply connected. The financial supremacy of the dollar provides the material basis for American research. Without this advantage, U.S. science would look very different. The Global South, on the other…

What has led to the downfall of the USSR
The collapse of the Soviet Union was one of the most decisive events of the twentieth century. It ended the Cold War, dissolved a superpower, and reshaped the map of Eurasia. Yet more than thirty years later, the question of why the USSR fell still provokes debate. Countless explanations exist—some emphasize dissidents, others point to…

Alternate European Orders in Cold War and post-WWII games
The Cold War defined the fate of Europe. Yet, although real history produced NATO, the Warsaw Pact, and a fragile balance of neutral states, this outcome was not inevitable. Instead, the order of the continent was the product of choices, compromises, agreements, and accidents. Alternate-history games explore these uncertainties, offering players the chance to imagine…
