Nazi files found in champagne crates in Argentine court basement - JIJI PRESS (2025-05-13)

------

>> A hoard of World War II-era #Nazi propaganda and membership documents has been unearthed in the basement of Argentina's Supreme Court, where it has lain, stashed in champagne crates, since 1941.

>> Seven crates containing postcards, photographs, Nazi propaganda, notebooks and party membership documents were found by staff in the process of moving non-digitized archive material, the court said Monday of the discovery of global significance.

>> The crates, sent from the German diplomatic mission in #Japan to the embassy in Buenos Aires, arrived in #Argentina in June 1941 on a Japanese cargo ship.

>> German diplomats in Argentina claimed they contained personal effects, but the shipment was held up by customs and became the subject of a probe by a special commission on anti-Argentine activities...

I took additional photographs of "Monarch on Milkweed," half-disappearing, that are more accurate representations of the color, but it's still off.

It appears more radiant IRL, especially under various lighting conditions, more pink and more blue and less yellow — it very much depends on the lighting.

I also wanted to upload 40 MB of images, and see what would happen.

I am working on a smaller version of this painting now, a 49 x 49 equivalent, 3D printing the tape machine, making the required calculations, building a frame, stretching a canvas, and so on.

I want it to never end....

Want the best proof that this trade-based society needs to change and cannot be "fixed"?

Global recycling rates have fallen for eighth year running, report finds - theguardian.com/environment/20…

Only 6.9% of the 106bn tonnes of materials used annually by the global economy came from recycled sources, a 2.2 percentage point drop since 2015, researchers from the Circle Economy thinktank found.

The problem is systemic, they say: the rise in consumption is even more rapid than the growth in global population, and although some companies are increasing the amount of recycled material they use, the majority ignore the issue with no apparent penalties. This means that societies generate more waste than recycling systems can handle.

Even if all recyclable goods were recycled, which is unlikely as many goods are simply too difficult or costly to recycle, global recycling rates would only reach 25%, meaning that consumption must be slashed in order to tackle a growing global waste crisis.

Yah....so recycling is not not solution let us be serious.

The solution?

People and the society needs to change radically but in simple steps.

1. Make the basic needs trade-free. Healthcare, transportation, housing if possible, access to Internet, basic food, etc.. Do it via taxes or whatever you prefer.

2. Give people a Universal Basic Income without strings attached so when some essential service cannot be provided as trade-free, such as housing or food, people can still "trade" for it. You can get the money for this UBI again via taxes, via ending all sorts of unemployment and benefits programs, and so forth.

This way you can have a chance of creating a society where people are not consumers, but humans. So that these humans have the time and mental ability to focus on relevant stuff and not just consume. To volunteer, discover, create, become smarter and saner.

This is the way!
