Major European #Warmongers' news of the last days.
"Europe is drawing up "pretty precise plans" for a multinational troop deployment to #Ukraine as part of post-conflict security guarantees that will have the backing of U.S. capabilities, #European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told the Financial Times in an interview.
The deployment is set to include potentially tens of thousands of European-led troops, backed by assistance from the U.S., including control and command systems and intelligence and surveillance assets"

A confidential letter by the French MoH dated July 18, 2025, directed regional health agencies to place hospitals on alert for a high-intensity war scenario in #Europe, likely by March 2026, according to the French weekly Le Canard enchaîné. The preparation includes the massive reception of wounded soldiers and an unprecedented mobilization of medical personnel.
In an article titled "The Ministry of #Health Mobilizes Hospitals for #War," published on August 26, the newspaper revealed that the Ministry called on senior health officials to ensure the health system is ready, by next March, to face a "major mobilization".

This is what psychologists call "displacement activity." Keeping yourself busy with something irrelevant to the actual problem, to avoid standing helplessly by or even worse, grasping the bull by the horns.
All these plans are built on the assumption that Russia will accept a ceasefire; yet the more they are announced, the more the chances of a ceasefire are cemented at zero. This war started to prevent further NATO presence in Ukraine and, as they're winning, why would the Russians suddenly stop so NATO "peacekeepers" can come in?
Of course the financiers are delighted. They have a new phrase "military Keynesianism" which means corporate welfare for banks & arms firms.
This is a very useful tool to explain the current situation. theanarchistlibrary.org/librar…

Just a quick reminder...
If you’ve read my book, 'Drystone - A Life Rebuilt' I’d be grateful if you left a review wherever you prefer.
This isn’t a plea for 5 star ratings; it’s a request for honesty. Books are personal: I dislike plenty, feel neutral about many, and love a few. Whatever your response, reviews really help. A wall of 5-stars is wonderful, but it can also feel suspicious to readers. A mix of perspectives shows the book is being read seriously.

The image features a QR code prominently displayed in the center, with a circular logo containing the text "ZEN tonic" in the middle. The QR code is black and white, with a complex pattern of squares and rectangles. Below the QR code, there is text in German that reads "Scannen, um der Gruppe 'zentonic δ' beizutreten," which translates to "Scan to join the group 'zentonic δ'." The background of the image is a light gray color, and the overall design is simple and clean, focusing on the QR code and the accompanying text.

ÖPNV | Busfahren, wie auf der Ladefläche eines Pritschenwagens
Ich wollte einmal darauf hinweisen das einer der Gründe das viele selbst da wo der ÖPNV via Bus gut verfügbar und gut gemacht ist, die Verbindung via Bus meiden, da eine Fahrt damit nicht so viel angenehmer als auf der Ladefläche eines Pritschenwagens ist. Gerade bei längeren Strecken im ländlichen Bereich schlägt sich auch das massiv nieder.
Moderne Linienbusse sind in Sachen Barrierefreiheit und Transportkapazität den im ländlichen Bereich früher einmal oft eingesetzten Reisebussen in vielen überlegen, aber eben nicht in allem. Den wenn es um den Fahrkomfort geht, verlieren die modernen Linienbusse auf voller Länge. Da fangen die Busse schon bei kleinen Unebenheiten und schlechter Straße an zu rütteln und zu vibrieren wir irre, daran sich vor oder nach der Arbeit noch ein wenig zu erholen ist nicht zu denken. Das Smartphone, Tablet oder gar Laptop zu benutzen ist oft reine Glückssache und auch die Polsterung der Sitze die einiges abfangen könnte, wird seit vielen Jahren immer mieser. Ja das sind im Endeffekt Luxusprobleme und Überfüllung, ausgefallene Klimatisierung und Heizungen sind schlimmer. Aber das ist eben auch ein Punkt der sehr wichtig ist, wenn man Menschen davon überzeugen will von ihrem bequemen Auto auf den ÖPNV zu wechseln.

Trump wants to forcibly remove the 2,000,000+ Gazans from their homeland and ship them off to some desert country.
The entire population of Gaza would be relocated and the United States would take control of the Palestinian territory under a plan being considered by the Trump regime.
Trump has plans to build Trump hotels on the seashore of what was Gaza!

On Wed Trump held a White House meeting with Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff, Tony Blair and Jared Kushner to discuss ideas for how to relocate two million citizens and profit off the ruins of Gaza
Trump’s vow to own and redevelop Gaza into a new 'Riviera' provided a road map for a group of Israeli businessman.
Michael Eisenberg and Liran Tancman who helped launch the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) are now consulting on the 'postwar problem'.

I truly hope for a future where they are able to do that because the alternative is truly frightening. (You'll probably have to tick a box to make a payment to get out of bed in the morning or an exponentially bigger payment not to.)
