The “new normal” of a formed society in ideological lockstep seems to be the real goal of politics – a wet dream of top politicians and string pullers, unabashedly celebrated in public.
Unmistakably, the contemporary utopians (like their Marxist predecessors) think completely in terms of the collective and place its welfare above the individual. (“Common good before self-interest” one could say, as the pandemic fanatics did recently – overlooking out of ignorance that they made Führer’s favorite slogan their own).
Inalienable human rights of the individual are sacrificed to the total transformation and blanket control of society; even pluralism and free debate would only interfere. “Woke Cancel Culture” wants to remove the obstacles, not only the “wrong” words and arguments, but also the opposing people, at least make them politically harmless. (If it were “just” old-fashioned censorship, no one would have had to introduce a new term, or it would not have caught on as a concept).
What is frightening is this: in retrospect, one can effortlessly apply the term to the Nazi regime as well. The Gleichschaltung of the media and the public debate, the control of the citizen down to the smallest detail by block guards and informers (today also electronically), the subordination of individuals in favor of the collective, the exclusion of unpopular groups, the control also of entrepreneurship and industry in favor of political goals – are the parallels not obvious? Also “eugenics” and medical experimentation (towards the superhuman) are very much in fashion again.
Even racism returns: today, too, people are sorted by skin color and origin, only quasi the other way around – back then, gays or “gypsies” were considered pests to be eradicated from the “body of the people”, while today LGBTQ and ethnic “diversity” are promoted and the original majority population is instead scorned. You can call the new fascism “progressive” because of this, congratulations. But the mechanisms (as just listed) are not coincidentally eerily the same; the obsessive fixation on power to the point of criminalizing truly normal, decent citizens literally screams out the concept of totalitarianism.
Those who still adhere to the Marxist legend that Nazis and fascists are as such “right-wing” and that the extreme left is their fiercest opponent should finally read up on Hannah Arendt. A tyranny is not left or right, it is simply a tyranny with this or that ideological cloak. And recent history clearly proves that “leftist” dictatorship is no less inhumane: communism’s murder record exceeds that of the Nazis several times over and continues to grow; one need only look to China or North Korea. The silly slogan “We are leftists and therefore with the good guys” should really have had its day.
Of course, history never repeats itself exactly; today’s totalitarian politics is evolving in massively changed circumstances, for example, with – in buzzwords – the
Internet and computer technology, extreme international division of labor and global actors of a new kind, including in Europe the Brussels technocracy.
In the West as a whole, the massive loss of importance of the Christian churches and the dissolution of traditional values, in connection with the demographic self-sacrifice of the peoples.
Ecologism as a relatively new subject area with today’s climate mania as its culmination.
At the same time the (so far, no longer long lasting) strong increase of the world population, which is deplored in perverse reinterpretation as danger for mankind, against clear empirical facts. (To which for instance Jordan B. Peterson and Elon Musk emphatically point out).
What is unmistakably centrally relevant is the shift of scales to the global, with increasing self-sacrifice of Western nations and dissolution of their borders in favor of global migration.
Self-sacrifice is demanded culturally as well as economically and energy-politically, “for the climate”, underpinned by anti-colonialist and neo-racist folklore: these are explicit goals of left-wing subversive politics. Superficial, contradictory, stupid and unworldly The official legends, the morality-soaked lectures from the political-media-pedagogical-civil-social complex on this, however, are just the propagandistic curtain. The ideologems and slogans of the zeitgeist politics presented as “without alternative” are so superficial, contradictory, stupid and unworldly – they can’t be serious, can they? What is really behind it?
German “Energiewende” (and EU-wide “climate neutrality”); pandemic panic politics with lockdowns and “vaccination” fanaticism: more blind irrationality than with these priority topics is hardly conceivable. In both cases: totalitarian absolutized measures, counterproductive and dangerous, but whipped through at any price, since it was a matter of life or death – accompanied by hitherto unthinkable massive (self-)Gleichschaltung of the media and censorship as well as moral disparagement and exclusion of critical voices.
Exactly this “new normal” of a formed society in ideological lockstep seems to be the actual goal of politics – a wet dream of top politicians and string pullers, unabashedly celebrated in public.
Either this is quasi (cynically) rationally motivated, because quite other, hidden goals are to be achieved, or the power-drunk autocratic understanding of politics of the ruling elites has meanwhile taken on a life of its own and increased into a nihilistic frenzy, which conjures up the end of the world in order to cheerfully abandon the ideals of the Enlightenment. This is diagnostically the choice between plague and cholera; either way our civilization is at stake – but just not because of the conjured dangers, but because of the politics justified with it!
Every liberal-minded citizen, in whom there is still a spark of genuine Enlightenment thinking and Western respect for the individual, must stand up against it. There is no justification for the abolition of fundamental rights, ever – that is why they are fundamental rights. The same applies to the separation of powers, pluralism and the rule of law, in short: liberal democracy. None of these are luxuries, not just “nice to have,” but the very basis for the community’s ability to innovate, learn and perform, and even more fundamentally, for people’s trust – as sovereigns – in their own country.
For the established avant-gardists of the “Brave New World,” the common people are predominantly an obstacle. Only with patient “nudging” and indoctrination already in kindergarten would it take decades until all “voluntarily” join in. Even more so when some unteachable people stubbornly counter with “misinformation” and “conspiracy theories”.
Hence the installation and acclimation of various straitjackets in recent years; innate fundamental rights become conditioned acts of mercy by the rulers and basic rules of the rule of law become play material: no “Great Transformation” without the shameless bending of formerly inviolable rules. Redeclined, this means:
Freedom of speech: in principle, yes, but not for “hate speech”!
Freedom of trade, movement and assembly: otherwise gladly, but not when a bad cold is going around.
Open democratic competition: sure, but not for “right-wingers”.
Control of politics by the judiciary: only if it does not fundamentally endanger the government line.
The global-technocratic elites, which did not exist in this way half a century ago, for political and technical reasons, are resolutely pushing ahead with their plans, in solidarity both between the “Western” industrialized nations and between politics and the globally active companies with their mega-rich leaders. With a few hundred billion dollars you can buy almost anything, money is power. To state this critically is not anti-capitalism, because the super-rich are also destroying free markets and real (smaller, competitive) entrepreneurship.
Even before (the only extreme rich person to break out of the phalanx) Elon Musk published the “Twitter Files”, it was actually unmistakable that there is lively cooperation between “Big Government” and “Big Tech” (of course also “Big Pharma”) to silence political opponents and make ordinary citizens unquestioningly obedient. Against this backdrop, back to the initial question about the real source of “cancel culture” and political upheaval:
The activist “woke” rank and file are supposed to be the drivers of the action, or university professors with confused theses and ideological set pieces, or the media chatterers, “framing” functionaries and “fact checkers”? Or are these guys from the “chattering sciences” rather useful idiots? Who are not only by chance generously alimented from the coffers of the super-rich as well as the ruling politics?
Sometimes a healthy portion of vulgar Marxism does not result in the worst analysis. So presumably the dog wags its tail, not the other way around. The fact that large industrial corporations buckle when a few dozen Internet activists blow up a “shitstorm” is no counter-evidence: the zeitgeisty foot race is threatening not as such, but because it has real power behind it, from the federal government, the EU technocracy, finance with its increasing “ESG” morality. (What was it Brecht said … “What is breaking into a bank vs. setting up a bank?”)
The climate change protest terrorists are actually ridiculous, but they are sent ahead, tolerated and encouraged by those actually in charge. The “Black Lives Matter” radicals could have been easily controlled, but they have been allowed to trash, loot and torch entire neighborhoods in the US. The “pressure from the street” does not appear to be ordered by chance; the politically choreographed fight against the freedom of the Western societies’ own citizens is thus given emphasis and dressed up as a “grassroots movement.”
Even more ludicrous is the open alliance of the corporate leaders and politicians with the Chinese leaders. Not only are the “Western” actors engaging in dirty, bloody compromises for the benefit of the masters in Beijing, but they are also allowing Chinese interests to have an increasingly direct impact on Western nations. Bill Gates effectively control the WHO, and the WHO decides how to deal with the Corona virus. Anyone who opposes this is blocked on the Internet platforms, and criticism is punished by law as defeatism.
How long do supposedly democratic and free politicians in Western countries want to participate in this shabby game? How will they justify it? Well, they no longer need to justify themselves by now. Together, they are powerful enough to simply block out and bludgeon down dissent from their remaining, not yet sufficiently “convinced” citizens, verbally or in real terms. The action of German police forces against “covidiot” demonstrators was not a slip, but exactly as politically intended. “De-escalated” is only for leftist chaots and “Antifa”.
So that everything runs a bit smoother, the gullible among the media consumers are littered with zeitgeist narratives. “We all have to save the planet in global solidarity, accept our responsibility as colonial masters and bear consequences …” The baseless pseudo-scientific stupidities and slogans, brazen lies, ideological set pieces and the disgusting moral excess of the whole propaganda: a huge demagogic stultification of the citizens, whom one no longer imagines as “responsible”, but whose governesses one makes oneself.
All the mind muck from the state media and from the academically conceited water carriers of the rulers … one can basically no longer even take it seriously, argue against it, thus undeservedly valorize it. It is only scenery, diversionary maneuvers, obfuscation machines. Ridiculous – and yet dangerous, because the phrasemongering “superstructure” obscures what is really behind the decline of the West and civil liberties.
An international “elite” in absolutist megalomania has set out to really rule the world now. Their instruments, which are now under the control of the “right” functionaries and activists: the oligopolies of “Big Tech”, the big investment houses as controllers of industry and the state power apparatuses: they can – as just practiced – put bourgeois society into straitjackets with emergency decrees, synchronously worldwide; above all, they can distribute money practically without limit, with willing central banks also simply generate it.
Never has so much money been redistributed so quickly from small to large as with the pandemic policy: hundreds of billions of dollars or euros worldwide. Even with “energy transition” and “net zero” hundreds of millions become poorer (until starvation or freezing to death) and a few become immeasurably rich, not least dictators from Caracas to Riyadh to Beijing. How long will the populations of the “free West” put up with this? This question has been settled for the totalitarian-technocratic elites:
The free citizen as sovereign, “client” and controller of governments is practically disempowered. For the people can exercise this function only at the national level, where there is a common language – which is meant not only linguistically, but also in the sense of a predominantly common cultural heritage, well-rehearsed rules of coexistence. Of course: cultural diversity and tolerance are part of every modern industrial society. But diversity (pluralism) must also exist on the macro level, with different policy approaches of culturally diverse nations.
Instead, the global-technocratic “elite” is installing a unity regime, because supposedly the big problems can only be solved together and in step. The EU is the pet project of these circles, and its undemocratic behavior – not to mention blatant corruption – is now obvious. In the past, “subsidiarity” was occasionally insisted on, at least in Sunday speeches. Today, it is not even enough for a minimum of respect for, say, the Hungarians, who have once again rightfully and legitimately chosen their own government. Aberwitzig:
A marionette-like Commission president, who was not elected for this function by any citizen, claims together with her quasi-ministers, who have been concocted in back rooms, and a Kafkaesque civil service apparatus, a morally superior position to a national head of government who, as a person and in recognition of his concrete actions so far, has been emphatically confirmed in office by his people.
How are German citizens, with only the occasional vote, supposed to have any influence at all on what is agreed upon by the powerful at the European or even global level? Where is there still a control of power by the people? Where is real democracy? International law is upheld where it fits, but the peoples themselves become extras of a world government and its regional governors who are not really responsible to anyone. Already Brussels is far too far away from the peoples.
And what do the globally united powers now want “in terms of content”? To save the world by destroying the western nations by “net zero” and de-industrialization? By starving the world population, as “successfully” demonstrated in Sri Lanka? By abolishing all diseases with mRNA “vaccination” campaigns? By transformation of free citizens into all-time controllable (and lethally eliminable) consumer slaves as in China?
But the real self-appointed new world rulers can only implement their program by force: by not asking the peoples and the citizens anymore, or at most pro forma. Censorship, intimidation and total control of the public are inevitably part of this.
The confusion of the ordinary citizen by “woke” activists and their absurd campaigns is a useful distraction in this, and besides, one can put out of circulation the recalcitrants who still hold on to tradition, enlightenment and self-determination, for using wrong words – criminalized as “hate speech”.
We are sliding into a new absolutism, but not by God’s grace, but by the autocrats’ own perfection: pathological Caesar mania behind a facade of pseudo-rationality. Colloquially: dangerous lunatics. Perhaps the citizens should start talking again like at the regulars’ table. All together, and very publicly.

During World War II, when Leningrad was besieged by the Germans, Vladimir Putin’s mother fell ill. Medics wanted to take her away – not to take her to the hospital, but because they believed she would soon be dead. But Putin’s father stopped the paramedics, and he nursed his wife until she was well. “She lived until 1999. He died at the end of 1998,” the Russian president wrote in an article that appeared in the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.”
A Georgian woman named Vera Putina, born in 1926, claims to be Vladimir Putin’s mother. Her “Vova,” as she called the boy, was born on October 7, 1950, illegitimately – the child’s father was already married and never met his son.
When Vera Putina married herself a few years later, the problems began: Her husband did not accept his stepson, so “Vova” grew up with his grandparents. At the age of nine, they also passed him on to a childless couple to whom they were distantly related: Vladimir Spiridonovich Putin and Maria Ivanovna Putina. Officially, these two are Putin’s biological parents. According to Vera Putina, they moved to Leningrad with the boy, registered him with the authorities, and in the process had his birth certificate changed.
This story is already 15 years old; Vera Putina told it in January 2000 to a Chechen named Rustam Daudov, who was working at the Chechen representative office in Tbilisi at the time. A Russian journalist to whom Daudov was about to hand over the video containing Putin’s testimony died on the way to Tbilisi – his plane crashed in March 2000 after taking off from Moscow. An Italian journalist to whom Daudov gave a copy of his video was murdered in October 2000. Three years later, a Rustam Daudov was shot dead in the Azerbaijani capital of Baku – another Daudov, a namesake.
As mentioned in the beginning, the Chechen Rustam Daudov contacted Vera Putina. Several times he traveled to her place and filmed her statements. Again and again he tried to get the video out to the public. Time and again, major reporting was prevented:
► In March 2000, investigative reporter Artyom Borovik mysteriously died in an airplane accident. He was on his way to Tbilisi to meet with Daudov and watch the video.
► That same month, Daudov offered the story to the major daily newspaper “Türkiye” and to a Turkish television station. His hope: if the story made it big abroad, the Russian press would finally start reporting it, too. Immediately after it was printed, Daudov recounts, the Russian Embassy in Istanbul tried to prevent the broadcast. If the news ran on television, the major project on the Blue Stream gas pipeline would be canceled, the diplomats are said to have threatened. The broadcast was not shown. Putin won the presidential election.
► On October 15, 2000, Italian war reporter Antonio Russo met Daudov, got a copy of the video from him. A day later his body was found, his death was never properly solved. His computer and the videotape were stolen from his hotel room. Two Italian investigators, with interference from Russian intelligence, were expelled shortly after arriving in Georgia. The two Georgian police officers investigating Russo’s case died under strange circumstances (suicide and poisoning).
► In September 2003, Daudov himself came into the investigators’ sights. Russian television showed his photo and reported that he had been killed in a robbery-murder. Yet Daudov was alive! Presumably, he told Time later in an interview, a namesake was murdered. After this incident, the United Nations helped him and his family to leave Georgia and get a residence permit abroad. Today Daudov lives in the West, wishing to remain anonymous for security reasons.
The murders are not the only oddities. In February, Dobbert himself went to Metechi, the village near Tbilisi where Vera Putina still lives. One of her daughters prevented the German journalist from speaking to her. “She is not allowed to tell anything anymore. She has been forbidden to talk to journalists,” said the woman, who could be Putin’s half-sister. Russian-Georgian relations are strained: the two countries went to war in 2008, and Russia also supports breakaway Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
A few years ago, two men and two women came and took blood from her mother, Vera Putina’s daughter recounted. She is sure that these people came from the Russian secret service. She never heard from them again. Even without a blood test, she is convinced that her mother’s story is true. “Nobody here doubts that Vladimir Putin is our mother’s son.”
Russia has enrolled agents in German chancellor Angela Merkel’s “internal circle” and in Austrian intelligence administrations, exiled Russian tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky has revealed.
But they are just part of a wider pro-Kremlin network in EU states, including the Czech Republic, Cyprus, France, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland, he said.
The Stasi identity card of the current Russian President Vladimir Putin was found in an archive. With the ID card, he was able to go in and out of Stasi offices. This shows that there are still quite a few Stasi celebrities who have not yet been unmasked. These Stasi “stars” are not on the official Stasi list, which was compiled in view of pension claims before the end of the GDR.
Will more unmaskings follow now ?
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin (66) also had an identity card from the GDR’s State Security until the fall of the Wall. The document had lain unnoticed in the archives for years, said Konrad Felber, head of the Dresden branch of the Stasi documentation authority.
The identity card had been issued on December 31, 1985, and had been repeatedly renewed until the end of 1989. At that time, Putin was an officer of the Soviet secret service KGB in Dresden.
With the document, Putin was able to go in and out of Stasi offices without extensive checks, Felber explained.
“But that does not automatically mean that Putin worked for the Stasi.” No, because the Stasi worked for Putin’s KGB and various rope teams, especially in East Berlin, still do today – murder and cyberwarfare included.
“In Soviet times, the KGB and the Stasi were friendly services. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that there were also mutual IDs,” Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, according to the Tass agency.
Putin was an eyewitness when some 5,000 demonstrators occupied the hermetically sealed Dresden District Office of State Security during the peaceful revolution on Dec. 5, 1989. As the demonstrators approached the office, violent clashes almost broke out with Soviet military personnel.
Based on a media request, files of the “Cadres and Training” department of the former Stasi district administration in Dresden were searched, Felber said. In the process, they came across the ID card, he said.
“It is already a small sensation. Putin’s name was not listed in the files that prove the ID cards were issued to Soviet military personnel.”
It shows once again how the Stasi documentation authority, which was and is riddled with Stasi agents from the beginning, works.
When will the long overdue other unmaskings finally come ?
How could it be that the head of risk management at Silicon Valley Bank cared more about her gay and lesbian agenda than her actual job? Meanwhile, more and more is becoming known about the background to the second largest bank failure in the USA.
The more that becomes known about the collapse of “Silicon Valley Bank,” the greater the amazement. Apparently, between April 2022 and January 2023, the bank operated without a chief risk officer, or head of risk management. The former head of the department, Laura Izurieta, left SVB Bank in April 2022, and the position was not filled until January 2023. “I am excited to lead and continue to grow SVB’s outstanding risk management team,” Kim Olson said Jan. 4 at her introduction. Her joy didn’t last long. Exactly nine weeks later, the bank closed. For the eight months between April 2022 and Jan. 4, 2023, Jay Ersapah, who served as head of risk for the bank in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, was also responsible for the U.S. on a transitional basis. And apparently, true to the slogan “Get woke, go broke,” that’s when the disaster began.
The interim manager was active. Very much so. Jay Ersapah, who describes herself as a “queer, working-class person of color,” did a lot for her “community” in those eight months. That didn’t mean the bank’s employees or customers, though. She organized quite a few LGBTQ+ initiatives during that time, including “Lesbian Visibility Days” and “Trans Awareness Week.” She initiated “Safe Space” campaigns for employees, moderated the EMEA Pride Forum, and served as a panelist at the bank’s Global Pride Forum to share her “experiences as a lesbian of color.” She launched a month-long Pride campaign and a new blog emphasizing cerebral health awareness.
Risk management probably came up short with this mass of commitments. You just have to prioritize. And she did.
Before SVB’s demise, Ersapah was named one of the top 100 LGBTQ leaders by the business network Outstanding. “She is passionate about promoting LGBTQ awareness because she identifies as a queer person,” writes Shethepeople. Maybe a little too much? Get woke, go broke.
In a company video released just nine months ago, she said she “couldn’t be more proud” to work for SVB, helping “underrepresented entrepreneurs” there. She was highly praised as a “diversity role model.” “I feel privileged to spread awareness of lived queer experiences and create a sense of community for our LGBTQ+ employees and allies.”
Critics have long accused her of these activities, but were alternatively dismissed as homophobic or transphobic. Now what has to happen sooner or later when you allow people to manage money based on ideologies rather than competence has happened. After all, bonuses were still being paid to employees a few hours before the closure was announced. Jay Ersapah is also likely to have still benefited from this.
No wonder Peter Thiel was one of the first to warn his customers about Silicon Valley Bank and make sure they withdrew their money in time. Born in Frankfurt, Thiel is considered one of the most successful investors in the USA. He founded Paypal and was one of the first investors in Facebook. He considers woke ideology to be out of place in companies.
A few months ago, he invested in Strive, an asset management firm that invests in companies that “put profit over ideology,” in other words, that focus on economic success rather than the agenda of the holy trinity of the Awakened: Gender, Skin Color, and Sexual Orientation. Strive probably wouldn’t have put a penny into SVB.

THE FUHRER GIVES THE JEWS A CITY – Life in Theresienstadt Camp
This film is about a concentrated place in a Czechoslovakian city named Theresienstadt, given to the Jews for preparations to deport them to either Israel or Madagascar.
This is not a Hollywood back-lot. This is not a ‘reenactment’ from false testimony. This is the real thing.
Adolph Hitler had signed an agreement with the Zionists in 1933, to transport the Jews (Khazars) of Europe to Israel. Along with their wealth. On German ships (flying the swastika flag) and trains. This was called the “Transfer Agreement.” (Documentary available on Internet Archive. http://www.archive.org/details/1933-ZionistsSignADealWithHitlerToCreateIsrael-TheTransfer)
“The City Band of Theresienstadt was led by Peter Deutsch, former conductor of the Royal Danish Orchestra. …. “Isn’t it all miraculous?”, wrote Willi Mahler, a music-lover, describing his impressions of the Great Holiday Concert of 25 June 1944 in his diary. “The German soldier is losing the struggle for his existence in the West, South and in Eastern Europe, and the Jews, sealed off in the … atmosphere of Theresienstadt, are allowed to listen to promenade concerts and have their own band, at the order of the German administration of our own settlement” (p. 225). Upon the approach of the Red Army, the lyrics of the Czech musical numbers got even cheekier: “… in the end, we’ll all laugh when everybody shits on Germany” (p. 292).
In the 1970’s, the stories passed down about the WW-2 German prison camps were welded together into a narrative we now call “the Holocaust” – meaning “the burnt offering.” Through telling and re-telling, the Holocaust has grown to a multi-million dollar industry, and has changed to mean something particular to Jewish history. It has been used to found a nation (Israel), and to justify many exceptions to morality.
Investigations of physical evidence and original documentation, however, have cast doubts on the Holocaust narrative that has been formed. For example, areas claimed to be mass graves, have been found with modern investigative technology to contain no human remains. Testimonies of accused perpetrators show evidence of outright fabrication, or were obtained through torture. Many of the supposed eyewitnesses have provided stories riddled by inconsistencies, describe physically impossible events, or were even total frauds who were never actually in the camps.
If the Holocaust narrative is false, the ramifications are far reaching. Ethnic Germans have been slandered for decades on the basis of the Holocaust. Terrorism used in the founding of Israel was justified through it. It was even used to justify the slaughter, rape, and murder of millions of ethnic Germans after World War 2.

Algeria’s longest-serving president, leading the country from 1999 until his 2019 resignation following months of mass protest against his appointment for a fifth term. His rule was marred by allegations of fraud and vote-tampering at successive elections.
A major pillar of former Syrian dictator Hafez al-Assad’s rule, Khaddam served in high-level government posts from 1970 until 2005, first as foreign minister and then vice president.
During this time, Assad’s regime routinely engaged in human rights violations and persecuted political opponents. Associated with the regime’s rampant corruption, Khaddam helped oversee Syria’s brutal occupation of Lebanon, which ended in 2005.

Shiera was a beneficiary of seven Credit Suisse accounts. Three of which appeared to have remained open after his 2015 arrest.
A powerful official in the government of former Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, accused of embezzling billions of dollars during the two decades he spent as head of the state-run Organization for Development of Administrative Centers.
Ali Ibrahim Dabaiba held at least one Credit Suisse account during this period. It remained open until August 2012, months after Gaddafi was deposed. At least four of his family members and business associates also had accounts with the bank, some of which stayed open for several years after that. One joint account, held by Dabaiba’s son and a Costa Rican company, reached a maximum balance worth over 18 million Swiss francs.
A close associate of Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko, energy mogul Aleksin burst onto Belarus’ business scene in 2012, just after a cadre of senior oligarchs were sanctioned in response to the regime’s brutal crackdowns on political protest. Part of Aleksin’s fortune was stashed in Credit Suisse that same year.
In 2021, the European Union and United States finally blacklisted Aleksin as well, describing him as one of Lukashenko’s “wallets.”

Sarkissian began his political career in the 1990s, serving as Armenia’s first post-Soviet ambassador to the U.K. and, briefly, prime minister, before leaving politics to work as an adviser for multinational corporations including British Petroleum (BP) and Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
On being reappointed ambassador to the U.K. in 2013, Sarkissian did not declare funds he held in a Credit Suisse account that was open between 2006 and 2016, as was required by law. He told OCCRP that he took on the role on a “pro bono” basis and so it was unclear whether the rules applied in such circumstances.

A long-serving former chief of Yemen’s intelligence services and a key enforcer for former strongman leader Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Al-Qamish has been accused of overseeing abduction and torture as part of the U.S.’s extraordinary rendition program. Qamish’s official salary was estimated to be not more than $5,000 a month, but sources say he had “an open budget made up of millions of dollars” to spend as he pleased.”
A former ally of Pope Francis who made history as the first Vatican cardinal to be tried on criminal charges by a civil court. Nine others are also accused of crimes including extortion, embezzlement, money laundering and abuse of office. Prosecutors allege that the ring lost 350 million euros of church funds on a scandal-ridden London property venture, and also that Becciu funneled Vatican funds to his brothers’ businesses in Sardinia.
Court documents say this Credit Suisse account, which belonged to the Vatican and listed Becciu amongst its four signatories of the account, was used in the embezzlement. Becciu’s legal representatives declined to comment on the account and told OCCRP that the Cardinal will answer to the court. They added that his brothers’ business was a charity, and maintained his innocence.
“Correction: This profile has been corrected to clarify that the account was state-owned and that the charges were filed against others.”

Rising interest rates will drive more and more banks into insolvency. The way out to avoid this, namely inflation, saves the banks but impoverishes investors.
Familiar images are reaching us from the USA. Familiar, at least, to those who 16 years ago watched the global financial crisis, then triggered by Fed interest rate hikes to puncture the real estate bubble, with the attention of the risk-conscious investor. The closure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), the eighth largest bank in the United States, drove savers in droves to bank counters to withdraw their money for safety. This is what is commonly called a bank run, and it has the makings of a systemic shakeup because, in theory, savers’ short-term deposits can be recalled at any time, but the bank has the money tied up for longer periods, either in bonds or in long-dated loans. The resulting mismatch of maturities on the asset and liability sides of the balance sheet creates liquidity risk even when the bank actually has enough assets to satisfy all its creditors’ claims.
And that’s where the rub lay at SVB. Investors didn’t just get up on their left foot in the morning and say to themselves, “I’m going to have a nice bank run today, see if I can scare SVB’s management.” Rather, they had a reason to lose confidence in their ability to repay deposits because SVB had announced a $1.8 billion loss, the cause of which was precisely that investor risk there appears to be somewhat higher than thought.
DIVERS AND WOKE INSTEAD OF YIELD Bank crash in the USA – Why Silicon Valley Bank crashed What exactly happened: SVB was hungry for deposits on its tight and aggressive growth trajectory. This growth trajectory was based on the fact that the institution’s customers were primarily startups and ventures from the technology sector, and this segment had experienced an extreme boom in recent decades. SVB supported its clients not only with venture capital, i.e. equity capital, but also – and this really requires an extreme amount of self-confidence in one’s own ability to assess risk – with debt capital, even though it is completely clear to any risk manager familiar with the subject that debt financing is not a suitable instrument for young tech companies because the probability of default, i.e. the probability of bankruptcy and non-repayment of the loan in this segment is far too high for this. The risk-adjusted interest rate on the loan, calculated correctly, would simply not be affordable. Equity financing, on the other hand, works because, although you have to record quite a few total losses in each portfolio, a single “unicorn”, i.e. a super-profitable startup can more than make up for all the losses in the portfolio.
It was probably this risky business practice that drove up the deposit rates the bank had to pay to depositor customers. The bank paid better, attracting interest-hungry investors in search of “excess returns.” But because it is very difficult to always match the inflow of savings precisely to the needs of the banking business in this way, there is always a temporary excess liquidity in such a model that cannot be invested in short-term money market investments without directly realizing losses, precisely because the interest rate that can be earned there is lower than the interest rate that one pays oneself. “So what to do?” spoke Zeus.
The obvious answer: to invest the excess liquidity in long-term bonds issued by banks, companies and governments, thus earning a higher interest rate via maturity transformation than would have been possible if the money market had been invested at the same maturity. Too bad that this little trick also comes with a risk, namely the interest rate risk of the long-term bonds. If the interest rate in the capital market for these bonds rises, then the old, lower-interest bonds become worth less, and worth so much less until their nominal interest on the fallen value yields a real return equal to the new interest rate level. The longer the remaining maturity, the greater the leverage. Apparently, SVB blew a whopping $1.8 billion using this method. Not pretty.
It is moments like this that make investors, who were previously programmed to be laissez-faire, go from zero to panic mode. How does he know that the 1.8 billion already cover all losses and risks? And anyway, it occurs to us now: They offered higher interest rates than the competition right from the start. There must be a reason for this in the risk of the portfolio relative to the risk-bearing capacity of the existing equity! What could have been known before suddenly becomes the focus of interest and – poof – we are in the queue of concerned savers and withdraw the money. This doesn’t last long without the bank getting into liquidity difficulties.
Then the banking supervisory authority comes along and closes us down, not without wanting to reassure everyone by saying that the problem is isolated and under the control of the supervisory authority. However, anyone who wants to trust such sanctimoniousness must ask themselves where the supervisory authority has been so far, what it has done to identify and prevent the risks, and why its grandiose stress tests did not give it a little hint a long time ago that stress was looming here. The plain truth, unfortunately, is that the stress tests still don’t work, and that the hundreds of millions invested in them have been completely for naught.
Which brings us to the question of whether what the supervisors are telling us now is true. Because it depends on whether it turns into a systemic problem. I think the answer to that question is clear: SVB is the tip of the iceberg, and when investors figure it out, the line from a Werner comic applies: “I’m going to count to one, and then it’s roller coaster here!”
Why do I think that? The reason is simple: we have now seen 20 years of zero and negative interest rates that are too low for the market. This cheap money tempts banks, funds, investors, just about everyone, to take risks they wouldn’t take if money cost more in line with the market. The zero interest rate not only makes people addicted to consumption and waste, it also makes them complacent and risk-averse, and it turns otherwise cautious investors into haredevils. It also ensures that bad risks do not materialize for a very long time. Bankrupt companies no longer go bankrupt, but walk around as zombies for years to come. Bad investments still earn enough cash to service interest and redemption payments, even though they are bad. Huge capital flows are diverted to the wrong uses, because there is demand for things that would never be demanded at normal borrowing costs. In short, all kinds of financial insanity are flourishing. If interest rates then rise again at some point because inflation forces central banks to restrict the drug of cheap money (as they are doing right now), the cold turkey leads to problems. As the saying goes, it’s not until the tide goes out that you notice who’s been skinny dipping, and it’s not until the snow melts that you see the turds in the meadow.
The behavior of excessive risk appetite is most certainly not a characteristic of a lone misguided Silicon Valley bank. It is the logical and compelling consequence of decades of distortion of an economy’s most important price, the interest rate, which should normally include all kinds of risk premia for credit default, liquidity, etc., but no longer does.
When the Fed and the ECB started raising interest rates with their faces distorted in pain, I pointed out exactly that in my publications and the compelling consequence of it. A rising interest rate can only fight inflation, i.e. have a deflationary effect, if the real economic forces of deflation also unfold, i.e. if companies go bankrupt, demand shrinks. This is the whole painful recovery process that such a cold turkey brings with it.
But since the accumulated imbalances are too large for this to happen without the insolvency of large banks and also states (because we have overdone it for too long with Modern Monetary Theory and money printing), the central banks are faced with a dilemma: If they go through with it, there will be bank crashes, state bankruptcies and depression, if they don’t, they will be trampled to death by the apocalyptic horseman of hyperinflation.
My prediction: They would rather have the latter than the depression. Because the latter is the result of the only thing they know and can do: Printing more money to supposedly solve all problems. So what will happen? The banking crisis will spread, not continuously, but in spurts, and there will be bailouts again, first on a small scale, then on a large scale, and finally on a very large scale. Then inflation will set off for the next gallop at 20 percent or at 50 percent, and then the Fed and ECB will again be faced with the challenge of containing inflation, only at higher levels.

The East German intelligence agency, commonly known as the Stasi, was notorious for its vast network of spies and informants during the Cold War era. Some of the top East German spies include:
Markus Wolf: Known as the “master spy,” Wolf was the chief of the foreign intelligence division of the Stasi. He is considered to be one of the most successful intelligence agents of the Cold War and was responsible for numerous operations in the West.
Werner Stiller: Stiller was a high-ranking officer in the Stasi who defected to the West in 1979. He provided valuable information about the Stasi’s operations and was instrumental in uncovering the identity of several other East German spies.
Günter Guillaume: Guillaume was an East German spy who infiltrated the inner circle of West German Chancellor Willy Brandt. He was ultimately exposed and arrested, which led to Brandt’s resignation in 1974.
Harry Tisch: Tisch was a top-level Stasi operative who infiltrated the East German Communist Party. He later became a member of the party’s Politburo and played a key role in East German politics until the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Rainer Rupp: Rupp was an East German spy who infiltrated NATO in the 1980s. He provided the Stasi with valuable information about NATO’s military strategy and plans.
It’s important to note that these individuals were involved in activities that violated the privacy and security of others, and their actions were often unethical or illegal.
Throughout the Second World War, there were many victims of Japanese war crimes. But some of the most shocking war crimes were executions of prisoners of war which were ordered by high ranking Japanese Generals. Leonard Siffleet was an Australian radio operator who was working in New Guinea undercover, and he was working deep behind enemy lines. He along with a number of other soldiers were captured by natives who handed him over to the Japanese Army, and he was tortured for a number of weeks. He was just a young man of 27 when he was taken to Aitape Beach. Leonard Siffleet’s execution was ordered and he was brought to the beach along with two other men who were condemned also. But the beach was littered with onlookers and civilians who would witness a medieval style execution by sword. The executioner that day, Chikao ordered a photographer to capture the moment before Siffleet was executed. He was stood over the Australian with his sword for some time. But it was an execution that came to the world’s attention and showed the horror of the Japanese army.

He was known for his criticism of the FSB and its operations, and for his allegations of corruption and human rights abuses within the Russian governmet. In 2006, Litvinenko became ill after meeting with two former KGB agents in a London hotel. He was eventually diagnosed with poisoning by radioactive polonium-210 and died a few weeks later. Litvinenko’s death was investigated by British authorities, and it was determined that he had been deliberately poisoned. The investigation led to a diplomatic dispute between the UK and Russia, with the UK accusing Russia of involvement in Litvinenko’s murder. In 2016, a public inquiry in the UK concluded that there was strong evidence that the Russian government was involved in Litvinenko’s death, and that his murder was probably approved by President Vladimir Putin. The Russian government has denied any involvement in Litvinenko’s death.

Fox News reported that sources told the outlet that Donald Trump will be arrested as soon as next week. Investigators have been seeking charges over payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential race. They invited Trump to testify before a grand jury, which is often an indication that indictments are imminent.
“The Manhattan DA’s office has asked for a meeting with law enforcement ahead of a potential Trump indictment,” Fox reported. “This is coming to Fox News from a source in the courts.”
Trump posts he “will be arrested on Tuesday” and calls for “protest, take our nation back.”
HORRIBLY Brutal Execution of Jenny-Wanda Barkmann – Sadistic Nazi Guard at Stutthof Camp during WW2. Jenny-Wanda Barkmann was born on the 30th of May 1922 in Hamburg then part of the Weimar Republic which was the government of Germany from 1918 to 1933. Barkmann was 10 years old when Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party came into power in January 1933. Soon after she became a member of the League of German Girls, which was the female section of the Hitler Youth. These organizations, led by Baldur von Schirach, were the primary tools that the Nazis used to indoctrinate young people with Nazi ideology, thus shaping the beliefs, thinking and actions of German youth. While in January 1933, the Hitler Youth had approximately 100,000 members, by the end of the year this figure had increased to over 2 million. Jews were not allowed to join these organizations. Boys and girls were taught to be both racially conscious and physically fit in order to build a new future for Germany and were often present at Nazi Party rallies and marches. Jenny Wanda Barkmann was 17 years old when the Second world war began on the 1st of September, 1939. Nazi Germany possessed overwhelming military superiority over Poland. Germany launched the unprovoked attack at dawn on the 1st of September with an advance force consisting of more than 2,000 tanks supported by nearly 900 bombers and over 400 fighter planes. In all, Germany deployed 60 divisions and nearly 1.5 million men in the invasion. In September 1939, the Germans established the Stutthof camp in a wooded area west of Stutthof, a town about 22 miles east of Danzig, today’s Gdańsk. The original camp, known as the old camp, was surrounded by barbed-wire fences and 8 barracks for the inmates built by prisoners in 1940. The camp was established in connection with the ethnic cleansing project that included the liquidation of Polish elites such as members of the intelligentsia as well as religious and political leaders. Even before the war, the Germans had created lists of people to be arrested, and the Nazi authorities were secretly reviewing suitable places to set up concentration camps in their area. Originally, Stutthof was a civilian internment camp under the Danzig police chief, before its subsequent massive expansion. In November 1941, it became a “labor education” camp for political prisoners and persons accused of violating labor discipline, administered by the SD – German Security Police. Finally, in January 1942, Stutthof became a regular concentration camp under the jurisdiction of the SS. In 1943, the camp was enlarged and a new camp was constructed alongside the earlier one. It contained 30 new barracks and was surrounded by electrified barbed-wire fences. A crematorium and gas chamber were added in 1943, just in time to start mass executions when Stutthof was included in the “Final Solution” in June 1944. The maximum capacity of the gas chamber was 150 people per execution. Eventually, the Stutthof camp system became a vast network of forced-labor camps. 105 Stutthof subcamps were established throughout northern and central German-occupied Poland.Tens of thousands of people, perhaps as many as 100,000, were deported to the Stutthof camp. The prisoners were mainly non-Jewish Poles. Conditions in the camp were brutal. Many prisoners died in typhus epidemics that swept the camp in the winter of 1942 and again in 1944. Those whom the SS guards judged too weak or sick to work were gassed in the gas chamber. Gassing with Zyklon B gas began in June 1944. 4,000 prisoners, including Jewish women and children, were killed in a gas chamber before the evacuation of the camp. Camp doctors also killed sick or injured prisoners in the infirmary with lethal injections of phenol. More than 60,000 people died in Stutthof concentration camp and its subcamps. Until 1942, nearly all of the prisoners were Polish. The number of inmates increased considerably in 1944, with Jews forming a significant proportion of the newcomers. The first contingent of 2,500 Jewish prisoners arrived from Auschwitz in July 1944. In total, 23,566 Jews including 21,817 women were transferred to Stutthof from Auschwitz. The camp staff consisted of SS guards and, after 1943, Ukrainian auxiliaries. Jenny Wanda Barkmann became a camp guard in January 1944.
Secrets are an integral part of our lives. From our deepest desires to our hidden fears, there are certain things that we keep buried within ourselves. However, some secrets are more significant than others. They have the power to transform our lives, shape our identities, and alter our destiny. In this article, we will explore some of the best secrets, their importance, and how they can impact our lives.
Self-Awareness: The Power of Knowing Yourself
The first and perhaps the most critical secret is self-awareness. It is the ability to recognize your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and understand how they shape your life. Self-awareness is not only about understanding your strengths and weaknesses but also about acknowledging your values, beliefs, and goals. It is a secret that can help you unlock your true potential and lead a fulfilling life.
Example: Oprah Winfrey is one of the most successful and influential people in the world. However, her journey to success was not easy. She had to overcome multiple challenges, including poverty, abuse, and discrimination. Oprah attributes her success to her self-awareness. She says, “I had to learn to be self-aware, to recognize my patterns, and to change them.”
Empathy: The Power of Understanding Others
Empathy is another powerful secret that can transform our lives. It is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. Empathy allows us to connect with people on a deeper level, build meaningful relationships, and create positive change in the world. It is a secret that can help us become better leaders, parents, friends, and human beings.
Example: Nelson Mandela is one of the most admired and respected leaders in history. He was able to bring together a divided nation and create a new South Africa. Mandela’s secret was his empathy. He had the ability to understand the perspectives of others, even those who oppressed him. He said, “If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.”
Gratitude: The Power of Appreciation
Gratitude is a secret that can help us live a happier and more fulfilling life. It is the ability to appreciate the good things in our lives, even in the midst of challenges and difficulties. Gratitude allows us to focus on the positive and attract more positivity into our lives. It is a secret that can help us overcome negativity, reduce stress, and improve our overall well-being.
Example: Shawn Achor is a happiness researcher and author of the book, “The Happiness Advantage.” He has found that gratitude is a powerful predictor of happiness. In his research, he found that people who practice gratitude regularly are more optimistic, have better relationships, and are more successful in their careers.
Forgiveness: The Power of Letting Go
Forgiveness is a secret that can free us from the past and allow us to move forward with our lives. It is the ability to let go of resentment, anger, and bitterness towards others or ourselves. Forgiveness allows us to heal our emotional wounds, improve our relationships, and create a more peaceful world. It is a secret that can help us live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
Example: Eva Kor was a Holocaust survivor who forgave the Nazis who experimented on her and her twin sister. She said, “I forgave the Nazis not because they deserve it, but because I deserve it. Forgiveness is a way of taking back your power.” Eva’s forgiveness allowed her to heal and create a foundation that promotes forgiveness and healing.
Authenticity: The Power of Being Yourself
Authenticity is a secret that can help us live a more authentic and genuine life. It is the ability to be true to ourselves, to express our thoughts, emotions,

“The very word “secrecy” is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings…Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe…no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. If you are awaiting a finding of “clear and present danger,” then I can only say that the danger has never been more clear and its presence has never been more imminent…For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.” ― President John F. Kennedy
Throughout history, there have been numerous secret societies that have captured the imagination of people all over the world. These groups often operate outside of the mainstream, keeping their activities and goals hidden from the public eye. Some are shrouded in mystery and intrigue, while others have been the subject of conspiracy theories and speculation.
Secret societies can be traced back to ancient times, with groups like the Eleusinian Mysteries in Greece and the Mithraic Mysteries in Rome. These groups were shrouded in secrecy, with members swearing oaths of secrecy and participating in elaborate rituals. The purpose of these groups is not entirely clear, but it is believed that they served as a way for members to bond over shared beliefs and practices.
In more recent times, secret societies have taken on a more political or philosophical focus. One of the most well-known secret societies is the Illuminati, which was founded in Bavaria in the 18th century. The group claimed to be dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and enlightenment, but they were also accused of subversive activities and plotting to overthrow governments.
The Freemasons are another secret society that has been the subject of much speculation and intrigue. The organization was founded in the 17th century, and its members include many influential figures throughout history, such as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. Freemasonry is often associated with symbolism and ritual, but its exact purpose and goals remain unclear.
Another secret society that has gained attention in recent years is the Bilderberg Group. This organization brings together influential figures from politics, business, and academia for an annual conference. The group is known for its secretive nature and has been accused of manipulating world events to further its own agenda.
The Knights Templar is another secret society that has captured the imagination of people for centuries. The organization was founded in the 12th century during the Crusades and was initially tasked with protecting Christian pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land. The Knights Templar were known for their military prowess and became incredibly wealthy and influential. However, they were eventually disbanded by the Catholic Church, and their members were persecuted and executed.
One of the most infamous secret societies in history is the Thule Society, which was founded in Germany in the early 20th century. The group was deeply interested in the occult and believed in the superiority of the Aryan race. Many of its members went on to become prominent members of the Nazi Party, and it is believed that the Thule Society played a significant role in shaping Nazi ideology.
In more recent times, secret societies have taken on a more lighthearted tone. The Order of the Phoenix is a fictional secret society in the Harry Potter series, dedicated to fighting against the evil Lord Voldemort. The show “Rick and Morty” has the “Citadel of Ricks,” a secret society of different versions of the character Rick, existing in a different dimension.
While secret societies can be fascinating to study and speculate about, their true purpose and goals remain shrouded in secrecy. Some believe that these groups are simply a way for like-minded individuals to come together and bond over shared beliefs and practices, while others see them as a way to manipulate and control society for their own gain. Regardless of their true nature, secret societies continue to captivate our imaginations and intrigue us with their mystery and secrecy.
Knights Templar
The Knights Templar is a medieval Christian military order that was founded in the 12th century during the Crusades. The order’s original purpose was to protect Christian pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land, but they quickly became known for their military prowess and eventually became one of the most powerful and wealthy organizations of the time.
The Knights Templar were initially founded by a French knight named Hugues de Payens, who along with eight other knights, vowed to protect pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem. The order was granted official recognition by the Catholic Church in 1129 and was given various privileges, including the right to collect taxes and the right to build their own churches.
The Knights Templar quickly grew in power and wealth, acquiring land, property, and assets throughout Europe and the Middle East. They became known for their military prowess, and their fighting skills were highly respected by their enemies. The order was also involved in banking and finance, and their efficient banking system made them incredibly wealthy.
However, the Knights Templar’s power and wealth eventually led to their downfall. The order’s leaders were accused of heresy and other crimes, and they were persecuted by the Catholic Church and the King of France. In 1307, the Knights Templar were disbanded, and many of their members were tortured and executed.
The Knights Templar have since become the subject of many myths and legends, with many people believing that the order was involved in various secret societies and occult practices. Some even believe that the Knights Templar possessed hidden knowledge or artifacts, such as the Holy Grail or the Ark of the Covenant.
Today, the legacy of the Knights Templar lives on in various ways. The order has been romanticized in literature and film, and their symbols and iconography continue to be used in modern culture. Many secret societies and organizations, such as the Freemasons, have been influenced by the Knights Templar, and they continue to capture the imagination of people all over the world.
“Some people complain there are too many people on earth, Some people complain about secret societies, Some people accuse others of not being able to wake up early. Almost all people complain about something.” ― Dejan Stojanovic
The Bilderberg Group is an annual invitation-only conference attended by approximately 130 participants from North America and Europe, including political leaders, business executives, journalists, and academics. The meetings are closed to the public, and the discussions are off the record.
The group was founded in 1954 by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, with the aim of promoting cooperation between Europe and North America. The conference takes its name from the Hotel de Bilderberg in the Netherlands, where the first meeting was held.
Critics of the group allege that it is a secretive organization that exerts undue influence over global affairs, but supporters argue that it provides a valuable forum for discussing important issues in a private and informal setting. The group has been the subject of numerous conspiracy theories, with some suggesting that it is part of a shadowy global elite that controls world events.
The Bilderberg Group has been the subject of controversy and speculation for decades, with some viewing it as a secretive and powerful organization that works behind the scenes to shape global affairs. However, others argue that it is simply a forum for discussing important issues in a private and informal setting. Regardless of one’s perspective on the group, it remains an influential and closely-watched organization.
The Eleusinian Mysteries were a religious initiation ceremony held annually in ancient Greece at the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore (Persephone) in the city of Eleusis, near Athens. The mysteries were dedicated to the goddess Demeter and her daughter Kore, also known as Persephone, who was abducted by Hades and taken to the underworld.
The exact nature of the Eleusinian Mysteries is not known, as the initiates were bound by secrecy and were not allowed to reveal what they experienced during the ceremony. However, it is believed that the mysteries involved a ritualized reenactment of the myth of Demeter and Persephone, and that the initiates were promised eternal life and happiness in the afterlife.
The mysteries were open to both men and women, and initiates came from all over Greece and beyond. The initiation ceremony took place over several days and included fasting, purification rites, and a procession from Athens to Eleusis. The climax of the ceremony was the revelation of the “sacred objects,” which were believed to be the key to the mysteries.
The Eleusinian Mysteries were considered to be the most important of all the Greek mystery cults and were held for over 1,500 years, from around 1500 BCE to the 4th century CE. They played a significant role in the religious and cultural life of ancient Greece and were attended by many of the most prominent figures of the time, including Plato and Cicero.
The Mithraic Mysteries were a mystery religion practiced in the Roman Empire from about the 1st to 4th centuries CE. The religion was centered on the god Mithras, who was a god of light and truth, and was often depicted slaying a bull. The religion was particularly popular among soldiers, and many Mithraic temples were located along the frontiers of the Roman Empire.
The details of the Mithraic Mysteries are not well known, as the religion was secretive and its teachings were only known to initiates. The religion had a complex hierarchy of seven grades of initiation, and each grade was associated with a different planet and had its own set of mysteries and rituals.
The central ritual of the religion was the taurobolium, in which a bull was sacrificed and the initiate stood underneath it, bathing in its blood. This was believed to purify the initiate and grant them eternal life.
The Mithraic Mysteries declined in the 4th century CE, and were eventually supplanted by Christianity as the dominant religion of the Roman Empire. Today, very little is known about the religion, as the Mithraic texts were lost and only fragments of information have survived.
The Illuminati is a secret society that originated in Bavaria, Germany, in the late 18th century. The group was founded on May 1, 1776, by a Bavarian law professor named Adam Weishaupt. The Illuminati aimed to promote Enlightenment ideals and to oppose religious influence over public life.
Weishaupt believed that society was in need of a new world order, which he believed the Illuminati could bring about through its secretive activities. The group was made up of intellectuals and freethinkers who believed in the power of reason and science.
The Illuminati’s goals were not necessarily nefarious, but their secretive nature and perceived influence over political and social events has led to many conspiracy theories about the group. Some people believe that the Illuminati still exists today and is involved in controlling world events from behind the scenes.
However, there is no concrete evidence to support these theories, and most historians believe that the Bavarian Illuminati disbanded in the late 18th century due to government crackdowns and internal divisions.
Freemasonry is a fraternal organization that traces its origins to the local fraternities of stonemasons, which existed in the Middle Ages. Today, Freemasonry is a worldwide organization that includes men and women from all walks of life who are united by a commitment to self-improvement, charity, and community service.
One of the defining characteristics of Freemasonry is its use of symbols and rituals to convey moral and ethical teachings. Members progress through a series of degrees, each of which involves learning new symbols and teachings, and taking part in various ritual ceremonies. These degrees are conferred within a lodge, which is the basic organizational unit of Freemasonry.
Another defining characteristic of Freemasonry is its emphasis on brotherhood and mutual support. Members are expected to help one another, both within the lodge and in the wider community. Many lodges engage in charitable work, and some have established their own charitable foundations.
Freemasonry has been the subject of much speculation and conspiracy theory over the years, with some people alleging that it is involved in secret plots and power struggles. However, most Masons maintain that their organization is simply a fraternal society dedicated to personal and social improvement, and that any allegations of nefarious activity are unfounded.
The Thule Society was a secret society founded in Germany in 1918, shortly after the end of World War I. The group was named after the mythical northern land of Thule, which was believed to be the ancient homeland of the Aryan race. The Thule Society was interested in Germanic mythology, the occult, and the esoteric, and its members sought to promote these beliefs.
The Thule Society was one of many secret societies that emerged in Germany in the early 20th century, and it played a role in the development of the Nazi Party. Some members of the Thule Society, including its leader, Rudolf von Sebottendorff, later joined the Nazi Party and played important roles in the formation of the party’s ideology.
The Thule Society’s beliefs in the superiority of the Aryan race and the need for a strong, authoritarian government were embraced by the Nazis, and some historians argue that the society’s ideology played a significant role in the rise of the Nazi Party and the development of Nazi policies. However, the precise extent of the Thule Society’s influence on the Nazi Party remains a matter of debate among historians.
The Bohemian Grove is a private club located in Monte Rio, California. It is known for hosting a two-week long annual summer retreat for some of the world’s most influential political and business leaders, as well as artists and other high-profile individuals.
The club was founded in 1872 as a gathering place for artists, writers, and musicians, and it has since evolved into a more exclusive club with membership limited to male individuals from a select group of industries and professions.
The Bohemian Grove’s most notable event is the “Cremation of Care” ceremony, which takes place at the beginning of the summer retreat. The ceremony involves a symbolic effigy being burned in front of a large owl statue, and it is said to represent the members’ release from the cares and concerns of the outside world.
The Bohemian Grove has attracted controversy over the years, with some people claiming that the exclusive nature of the club and the secretive nature of its events are cause for concern. However, the club maintains that it is simply a gathering place for like-minded individuals to socialize and exchange ideas in a private setting.
“The Bohemian Grove has held secret meetings for the global elite since 1873 in a redwood forest of northern California. In addition to Republican presidents Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, and George H. W. Bush, members have included James Baker, Richard Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, David Rockefeller, William Casey, and Henry Kissinger. Each year, the members don red, black, and silver robes and conduct a ritual in which they worship a giant stone owl.” ― Craig Unger, House of Bush, House of Saud: The Secret Relationship Between the World’s Two Most Powerful Dynasties
Inside of Auschwitz, the largest concentration camp established by the SS during the Second World War there were many evil female guards that worked there.

Money is one of the most important aspects of our lives. It affects everything from our daily routines to our long-term goals, and yet it can also be one of the most elusive and challenging topics to master. The good news is that there are plenty of money secrets out there that can help us achieve financial success. In this article, we’ll explore some of the best money secrets along with success stories from people who have put them into practice.
Spend less than you earn
One of the most basic and important money secrets is to spend less than you earn. This may seem obvious, but it’s surprising how many people struggle with this simple concept. The key is to create a budget and stick to it. This means tracking your expenses, prioritizing your spending, and finding ways to cut back where possible.
Success Story: Tiffany Aliche, also known as “The Budgetnista,” is a financial educator who went from being a schoolteacher with $40,000 of debt to a successful entrepreneur with multiple streams of income. Her secret? She created a budget and stuck to it, even when it meant making sacrifices like giving up cable TV and eating out less often.
Invest in yourself
Another important money secret is to invest in yourself. This means taking the time and resources to learn new skills, develop your talents, and pursue your passions. Whether it’s through formal education, training programs, or self-study, investing in yourself can lead to greater earning potential and career advancement.
Success Story: Gary Vaynerchuk is a successful entrepreneur, author, and investor who started out selling wine online. He credits his success to his willingness to invest in himself, whether it’s through attending conferences, hiring coaches, or spending time reading and learning from others.
Save for emergencies
One of the biggest financial challenges that people face is unexpected expenses. Whether it’s a car repair, a medical bill, or a job loss, emergencies can derail even the best-laid financial plans. That’s why it’s important to save for emergencies by setting aside a portion of your income each month.
Success Story: Liz Weston is a personal finance columnist and author who has written extensively on the importance of emergency savings. She shares her own story of being laid off from her job and realizing that she had no savings to fall back on. After that experience, she made it a priority to build up her emergency fund, which has helped her weather other unexpected events.
Live below your means
Living below your means means spending less than you can afford, even if it means making sacrifices or delaying gratification. This can be difficult in a society that encourages us to constantly consume and upgrade, but it’s essential for long-term financial success.
Success Story: Mr. Money Mustache is a blogger who retired at the age of 30 and now lives off his investments. He achieved this goal by living below his means, even when he had a high-paying job. He and his wife rode bikes instead of driving cars, cooked at home instead of eating out, and generally avoided unnecessary expenses.
Be patient
Finally, one of the best money secrets is simply to be patient. Building wealth takes time and requires a long-term perspective. It’s easy to get caught up in the latest trends or hot investments, but the most successful investors are those who stay the course and remain disciplined over time.
Success Story: Warren Buffett is one of the most successful investors of all time, with a net worth of over $100 billion. He achieved this success by taking a patient, long-term approach to investing. He’s famous for saying, “Our favorite holding period is forever,” which reflects his belief in the power of compounding over time.
In conclusion, there are many money secrets that can help us achieve financial

Bestial Crimes of Egon Zill – Sadistic Nazi Commandant of Natzweiler Struthof & Flossenbürg – WW2. Egon Zill was born on the 28th of March 1906 in Plauen, then part of the German Empire. After World War I ended, Germany experienced great political turmoil. The 1919 Treaty of Versailles imposed harsh terms on Germany, which had lost the war. In addition, the country saw the overthrow of its monarchy. In its place was the new Weimar Republic, a democratic government. Racist and antisemitic groups sprang up on the radical right and they blamed Jews for Germany’s defeat in the war. These groups opposed the Weimar Republic and the Treaty of Versailles. They were against democracy, human rights, capitalism, socialism, and communism. They advocated to exclude from German life anyone who did not belong to the German race. The Nazi Party, founded in 1920, sought to woo German workers away from socialism and communism and commit them to antisemitic and anti-Marxist ideology. On the 30th of January 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany by the German President Paul von Hindenburg. Immediately after Hitler came into power, Germany became a dictatorship, and the Nazi regime quickly began to restrict the civil and human rights of the Jews and established the first concentration camps, imprisoning its political opponents, homosexuals, Jehovah’s witnesses, and others classified as “dangerous”. One such camp was Hohnstein. In 1934 Egon Zill got married. His wife had been a member of various National Socialist organizations since the mid-1920s and the marriage produced three children. From the 12th of October 1934, Zill headed the guards at the Lichtenburg concentration camp. From the 1st of February 1938, Egon Zill became the commander’s adjutant in the Lichtenburg, which by then had become a women’s concentration camp. One of the camps female guards was Maria Mandl whose specialty at Lichtenburg was to strip the prisoners naked, tie them to wooden posts and beat them mercilessly until she could no longer lift her arm. On the 15th of May 1939, Egon Zill was sent with the other Lichtenburg guards to the newly opened Ravensbrück concentration camp. Ravensbrück, opened in May 1939, was the only major women’s camp established by the Nazis. In total, some 132,000 women from all over Europe passed through the camp, including Poles, Russians, Jews, Gypsies, and others. Of that number, over 92,000 women perished. At Ravensbrück Egon Zill held a position of commander’s adjutant. However, he was also a sexual deviant. Despite having his own wife, Zill was known for sexually harassing and brutally abusing the female prisoners. Once he even contracted a venereal disease. Zill, who due to his short stature was given the nickname “Little Zill”, remained in Ravensbrück until December 1939. He gradually climbed up the camp hierarchy, owing these promotions to the cruelty and sadism with which he treated the prisoners. His behavior in each subsequent camp was more and more brutal. Not only did he order many crimes to be committed, he often carried them out himself. The second world war began on the 1st of September, 1939 with the invasion of Poland. On the 1st of December 1939, Zill was deployed in Dachau concentration camp holding a position of Protective custody camp leader.
