Understanding the Halle Synagogue & Kebab Shop Shootings
Stephan Balliet
It happens now with accelerating regularity: a white man who is alarmed at white ethnic displacement — "the great replacement" — goes to a place frequented by non-whites, often a place of worship, and starts shooting.
On Saturday, August 3, 2019, a 21-year-old white man, Patrick Crusius, walked into a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, and killed 20 people and injured 26 others.
On Saturday, April 27, a John Earnest, a 19-year-old white man walked into the Chabad synagogue in Poway, California near San Diego and shot two people, killing one. Two others were injured by shrapnel.
On Friday, March 15, 2019, a 28-year-old white man, Brenton Tarrant, reportedly entered the Al Noor Mosque and the Linwood Islamic Centre in Christchurch, New Zealand, killing 50 people and wounding around 40 others.
On Saturday, October 27, 2018, a 46-year-old white man, Robert Bowers, was arrested for entering the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, killing eleven people and wounding six others, including four police officers.
On Sunday, January 29, 2017, a 27-year-old white man, Alexandre Bissonnette, entered the Islamic Cultural Center in Quebec City, Canada, killed six Muslims gathered for prayer, and injured eight more.
On Wednesday, June 17, 2015, a 21-year-old white man, Dylann Storm Roof, entered the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, killed nine blacks gathered for Bible study, and injured three more.
On Sunday, August 5, 2012, a 40-year-old white man, Wade Michael Page, a racist skinhead, opened fire at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee, killing six worshipers and wounding three others. He then shot and killed himself.
And now it has happened again:
On Wednesday, October 9th, 2019, a 27-year-old man, Stephan Balliet, brought a gun to a synagogue in Halle, Germany. Because he found the building locked, he reportedly killed a woman who was in the vicinity and another man in a nearby kebab shop. His victims were neither Jews nor "kebabs." They were fellow Germans. He also wounded two other people.
Because these shootings all follow the same basic pattern, I have created a boilerplate article responding to them:
"Understanding the El Paso Walmart Massacre"
"Understanding the Poway Synagogue Shooting"
"Understanding the New Zealand Mosque Massacre"
"Understanding the Pittsburgh Synagogue Massacre"
"Understanding the Quebec Mosque Massacre"
"Understanding the Charleston Church Massacre"
"Understanding the Sikh Temple Massacre"
The basic argument is always the same. I just need to change a few of the particulars.
As a white person, I look down upon the criminals among us. I do not reflexively defend and glorify them. This was a terrible act: immoral, illegal, and politically damaging to white interests. I hope Balliet receives a fair trial and — if found guilty — a just punishment, but that seems unlikely given the racially charged, anti-white atmosphere in Germany today.
We obviously don't know all the facts yet, but based on Balliet's livestream, we can say several things with confidence.
First, Balliet was definitely concerned with white racial dispossession.
Second, this shooting spree could not have happened in a homogeneously white society. When different peoples are forced to live together in the same system, frictions are inevitable. These frictions give rise to misunderstandings, distrust, alienation, and long-simmering resentments, which flare up into hatred, violence, and social upheaval. Balliet's actions are predictable consequences of multiculturalism. Sadly, we will only see more such violence until white nations regain their sanity and reverse multiculturalism.
Thus the New Right stands for the principle of racial divorce. It is time for whites and non-whites to go our separate ways and pursue our own destinies. We stand for the creation of separate racially homogeneous societies, through the peaceful and humane process of redrawing borders and shifting populations.
In the case of Germany, virtually all non-Europeans there are recent, post-World War II immigrants, and the best solution is for them to return to their homelands.
Third, we should resist dismissing Balliet with the all-too-easy claim that he was "crazy." Yes, he did something evil and stupid, as well as downright embarrassing. But his underlying motive — fear of white race replacement — is not irrational or insane; it is a healthy reaction to objective facts. All white people have innate ethnocentric tendencies, wired deep in our brains. We love our own and we fear strangers. As diversity increases, all of us will bear increased psychic costs, even those who pursue wealth and status by selling out their own people in favor of foreigners.
Balliet and people like him may be nothing more than canaries in a coal mine: the first to sense the presence of a threat to the survival of us all. Balliet may have just been abnormally sensitive to the terrible psychic consequences of losing control of our society to aliens: stress, alienation, anger, hatred, rage, etc. This heightened sensitivity might also go along with a whole suite of other abnormal traits. But we dismiss people like Balliet at our own risk. For in the end, all of us will feel the same effects — unless we heed the warning signs and turn back the rising tide of color.
Finally, Balliet's "solution" to his rage and alienation — killing innocent people — just makes the racial situation worse rather than better. We will surely learn a lot more about his ideas and affiliations in the coming months. But based on what we know now, we can say that his actions certainly resemble those of racially-motivated spree killers like Brenton Tarrant (whom he was obviously imitating), John Earnest, Robert Bowers, Dylann Roof, Anders Behring Breivik, Wade Michael Page, and Frazier Glenn Miller, all of whom are products of what I call "Old Right" thinking.
By the "Old Right," I mean classical Fascism and National Socialism and their contemporary imitators who believe that White Nationalism can be advanced through such means as one-party politics, terrorism, totalitarianism, imperialism, and genocide.
Today's Old Right scene is rife with fantasies of race war, lone-wolf attacks on non-whites, and heroic last stands that end in a hail of police bullets. Intelligent and honorable people have emerged from this milieu. But there have been more than a few spree-killers as well.
This kind of violence is worse than a crime. It is a mistake. It does nothing to advance our cause and much to set us back.
Given that reason, science, and history are all on our side, and the greatest apparatus of coercion and brainwashing in human history is on the enemy's side, doesn't it make sense to attack the enemy at his weakest point rather than at his strongest? This is why the North American New Right pursues White Nationalism through intellectual and cultural means: we critique the hegemony of anti-white ideas and seek to establish a counter-hegemony of pro-white ideas.
Only a fool picks a battle he cannot win, and we cannot win with violence. Fortunately, we don't have to. The Left lost the Cold War but won the peace through the establishment of intellectual and cultural hegemony. We can beat them the same way.
Furthermore, the only form of violence that even has a chance to be productive in halting multiculturalism and non-white immigration would target the people responsible for these policies, not random innocents.
Moreover, killing innocent people — even if they are racial invaders — has entirely predictable results. First, such violence creates sympathy for the victims. (Even I feel sympathy for them, yet I would deport them all tomorrow if I had the power.) Second, it plays into the establishment narrative of evil, crazy, intolerant whites whose freedom of speech and weapons must be taken away.
Beyond that, Balliet is in a special class of moronic white spree killers who end up killing only white people. Frasier Glenn Miller murdered three people in the vicinity of two Jewish buildings in Kansas, but he managed to kill only white people. Balliet's victims were two Germans. With defenders like this, who needs enemies?
As I argue in my essay "Against White Nationalist Terrorism," White Nationalists are making tremendous progress by means of propaganda. We are converting people to our worldview. The more people we convert, the sooner we regain control of our homelands. This is why our enemies are hell-bent on censoring and deplatforming us. They use every shooting spree like Tarrant's or Balliet's as a pretext to further clamp down on our freedom of speech, which restricts our ability to change minds and delays the implementation of sane, nationalist policies. And every day we are delayed is paid for in white lives.
Stephan Balliet killed two people in Halle, both of them fellow Germans. But far more white people will die if his deeds lead to further erosions of freedom.
I wish I could erect a wall between myself and the kind of unstable, undisciplined people who go on killing sprees, but you can't change the world from a bunker. Thus, responsible white advocates need to adopt the next best course of action: (1) we must be alert to the signs of mental instability and inclinations toward violence and rigorously screen out such people, (2) we need to draw clear, unambiguous intellectual lines between New Right and Old Right approaches, and (3) if anyone makes concrete threats of committing such acts in our circles, we need to be the ones to call the police.
My goal is to persuade our people that White Nationalism is the solution to ethnic conflict, not the cause of it. Spree killers and the people who celebrate them are part of the problem, not part of the solution.

EF says:
Greg I agree overall.
My question is what has happened to the MINDS of white young people, then again Glenn Miller, who testified AGAINST his "comrades" for the Feds, was an older fellow.
As to "genocide" I don't know of any WNs who, other than being provocative, e.g. Andrew Anglin, have ever supported that, also there is a serious disagreement, by learned men, that NS Germany ever intended or committed genocide.
I think the approach that CC has always advanced is the most hopeful.
Greg, your writings have always been what most any reasonable and unbiased person could heartily agree with.
The only drawback to TRUTH and INFORMATION not winning the day for us is the deplatforming so that readers can only know what the Media Bosses want them to know.
Despite how we may be portrayed in the Mainstream Media I have found our side to be most civilized and reasonable people.
The proponents of White genocide, frankly, do not seem very reasonable to me, from Tim Wise, to the SPLC and the ADL.
One hearkens back to what happened to the ethnic Russians after 1918,
The fellow who wrote the GULAG ARCHIPELAGO said that the non-Russians slaughtered nearly seventy million ethnic Russians from 1918 to 1950s.
While I sincerely condemn the attacks on innocent people as delineated by Greg that when one considers history WHO ARE THE REAL FIENDS?
Occident says:
This reminds me of an article I recently read that mounted an impassioned philosophical argument against pedophilia….quoting actual philosophers and stuff!! Because pedophiles are so susceptible to dialectical Hegelian logic, right? It's gonna work. It's gotta work!
Same thing here. We're gonna have a civil and rational counter-hegemonic discourse with POC about a peaceful racial divorce? The author must not have much real-world experience with POC. The one thing that they absolutely must have in order to survive is access to White wealth and civilization. Separated from Whites, not one in twenty would be alive after three months. And they know it. And they hate both themselves and us for it. Attempt all the rational discourse you want. You may as well make faces at the Sphinx. As soon as they figure out we would like to stop subsidizing them, they will go apeshit. And POC sure as hell don't give (and have never given) a single f-k about the doings of their own, especially jews, they revolutionaries that bombed Brits in encyclopedias and books of great importance.
Moreover, not a single revolution in history, in the magnitude you envision (massive racial separation and the gain (or loss) of a dominant status in the society as a group) has happened peacefully. Name just one, I'm waiting. And while you try to figure out some vague example, I'll name Israel and almost every European nation-state post WWI that has achieved their goals with it.
All you propose is pearl clutching and pointless discourse that has failed in USA for almost a hundred years now, HUNDRED, and you keep on beating around the same bush.
Ultimately the only people we have to convince are other white people. Once enough whites get behind it, non-whites just don't matter.
Richard Edmonds says:
Allow me to confirm the truth of this statement from my own personal experience.
When I was a young man, I emigrated from Britain to Australia. After a short time the obvious occurred to me that I, an Englishman living and working in Australia, was as a matter of fact absolutely dependent on the Australians for everything: my employment, my wages, the roof over my head, the food on the table, etc.
Now believe me every foreigner, every immigrant, every "refugee" living in the West knows exactly as I knew in Australia, that he is absolutely dependent on the host community. Q.E.D.
Rhodok says:
Separated from Whites, not one in twenty would be alive after three months. And they know it.
I disagree. They do not know it. And even if they would, they would not care. I think you might be projecting too much whiteness onto non-whites.
This is something I had a hard time accepting, but I am now convinced that non-whites do not think like whites. They operate in an entirely different world. You can see some of that in today's political scene. But only superficial as the dem's are still dominated by whites.
Look at Africa: they happily killed white farmers while we knew this would create missery for themselves. They however did not know, and did not care.
Most of the world is not capable of delayed gratification. And seems unable to think in abstract terms.
Well said, my man. You expressed what I would have liked to, but with more verve and humor.
Steven JW says:
I can't imagine what a nightmare it must be to be a young German man in the land still called Germany. I'm sure people like him could have greatly benefited from community…something harder and harder to find.
I find myself sympathetic to his plight but also contemptible of his actions. He will not target people responsible for the problem because it is not a crime planned out, it is a man lost to darkness. In times past someone would reach in and pull him out… but we're simply a disconnected diaspora at this point. All around him were specters and images of something that was.
Truly I am sympathetic with the shooter and the victims but then it is an expected hazard given the occupation of Germany. It will continue to happen while the many others unheard of simply point the gun at themselves and bid farewell to the world we have now in hopes of finding something warm, even if it is eternal darkness. Only a ghost can be warm there.
There's really nothing we can do to stop this, we have no power after all. Perhaps each time this happens and the screws turn tighter on white people something will give. I certainly don't look forward to a future of massive antidepressants similar to Scandinavia though… and after seeing reactions to that Joker movie I think that might be the case.
Gregor K says:
I'm German and I have no sympathy for this person. Of course I understand the motive, but everything about him and his attack is just damaging to Nationalism.
A German says:
I have a bit of sympathy(not for the act but for the guy) but one thing is clear everyone who isnt in line has to brace himself. Its a welcome excuse for those in power. If they do it like in Austria with Sellner and the Identitarians this could be devastating cause I dont think in Germany there is the money and backing to surive that.
Call it a crisis of identity or internal crisis I'm projecting on him then. Being of German ancestry I find myself becoming so unwilling to identify with it. The more I see of Germany and Scandinavia the more I feel ashamed and want nothing to do with them. What kind of spineless soulless people have they become? Eternal cucks? Being American however I am sure one need only to search for a second to levy the same insults at us.
It's just that the more and more propaganda I consume the more it affects me even with me knowing that is its purpose. What is to save in Germany and Scandinavia if they are so willing to destroy themselves? Even the most German and Scandinavian populated areas in the US (Minnesota/Midwest etc), the real towhead states, are almost identical in their cowardice and fervor in self-destruction.
Part of me thinks a lot of why these particular Europeans have become such spiritless "cuckolds" is because of the great effectiveness of things like Feminism. What makes a young man more willing to fight than a woman to fight for? Your "eternal companions" are essentially inviting your destruction, often in the most grotesque way. What will to fight is left after that? With every towhead so uninspiring, meek, and empty who cares anymore.
Then every so often you'll run into the little blonde boy or young man who isn't so into the progressive social pipeline. He's quite aware of what is happening and I'm sure was "redpilled" by fashy memes or something and is quite against the Great Replacement. When that happens I'm met with inner turmoil and crisis of conscience once again. But I am also met with inspiration and purpose. This blonde boy is worth thousands of other self-loathing towheads or Progressives Whites. Even if there are only a handful of people left to care about it is still worth caring.
Corday says:
In the case of Germany, the US has much to answer for in making them this way. What other result could the "Denazification" propaganda have possibly had? It was deliberately designed to instill shame and erode any semblance of nationalism. Add in that many of the men who were installed as leaders in both West and East Germany had been political prisoners in the Third Reich. The Allies wanted to build a Germany that would not pose a threat at any point in the foreseeable future, and they succeeded in that effort.
I know considerably less of Sweden's history, so I feel less comfortable weighing in on their situation. But I will still say that I think even the Swedes are in better shape than the US.
Svea Svensson says:
Yes, but I'm afraid that this is easier said than done. Most of these immigrants are probably not interested in returning to their true homelands, since the standard of living is much lower there.
In many cases the descendants of the early post-war immigrants are not even citizens in their ancestral countries, and would therefore not be allowed to return permanently. Some of them can't even speak the languages of these countries.
And for states like Turkey a large diaspora is way to exert influence over Europe, so they will probably not be of much help with the repatriation.
If countries like Turkey want to trade with Germany, they can take their diaspora communities back.
Yeah I lack the imagination too. Especially since Germany gave citizenship to moslems like candy.
Especially since Germany gave citizenship to moslems like candy.
Obviously what is given can be taken away.
Its quite obvious that this will not be well received and someone has to enforce it. I dont see the institution or the people that are capable of doing that. Look at the Viedeo of the Halle guy, that is the state we are in. The establishment is making sure there is no capabilitiy of doing such a thing from the individual level to institutional level. You would have to organise yourself and then the inability of the individual to enact force kicks in. And of course I cant advocate stripping people of german passports for legal reasons 🙂
I dont see the institution or the people that are capable of doing that.
As to the people, I kind of agree. Though there are probably more than you would expect. But I have lived in Germany and was stunned by the meekness of the people there. The only exception seems to be the people from the former east germany. They were ok.
Institutions are imo not a problem. Theyw ill do whatever the politic orders them to do. I could even imagine them hiring 'enforcers' fro other countries…
This may actually be athing that can work in our advantage: the pople will vote right but they will not behave right. However when enough people vote right the institutions will follow, and that may be germany's only hope.
Well, I am pessimistic but I always hope to be wrong.
How can "they" give something away which is yours to give?
I.e. citizenship is not something that can be given away by a goverment. It must be given by the people by extending the cooperation they give to their fellow countrymen to the 'new citizens'.
Sure, the government can hand out passports and give the immigrants the right to vote, to receive financial benefits etc, but all that does is to undermine their own position as the accepted representatives of the existing population.
It is simply impossible to force somebody to like somebody else. To force people to trust other people etc. Whether they have a passport or not.
Most of these immigrants are probably not interested in returning to their true homelands, since the standard of living is much lower there.
I don't know about the rest of the West but here in Canada the standard of living is in slow decline, taxes are up, congestion is up even more and the winters are cold. But c'mon in folks as we are all going to be living like it was in the 50's – the government said so.
"I don't know about the rest of the West but here in Canada the standard of living is in slow decline, taxes are up, congestion is up even more and the winters are cold."
We have a similar situation here in Sweden, but our standard of living is still much higher than in Somalia, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, which many of our immigrants come from.
So very few of them will return voluntarily.
What makes me somewhat optimistic is that there is a growing awareness of the immigrant-related problems among Swedes. When people start to understand how mass-immigration affects their everyday life and the future of their children, they are less inclined to vote for the parties which are responsible for it.
Repatriation is still a very controversial issue, but more and more people realize that it is the only solution. The question is how it can be achieved.
nineofclubs says:
'..not interested in returning to their true homelands..'
That's probably true as things stand today, but over time conditions could be changed to favour those who do return.
A first step would be ending chain immigration to prevent family reunion in Western nations. A related step might be to provide aid to those wishing to reunite with family in their true homelands. As Greg has said, the departure of recently arrived migrants might take years or decades, but that's fine. We lost our ethnic homogeneity over 50 years or so – it might take us that long to regain it.
Great works take time.
I don't think we have a 'snowflake's chance in hell' of removing any of our Mexican and Central American invaders from our country's midst — our border is still nearly 90% open — and secondly, they have only come here for the money (in the 'poor me' guise of 'a better life'), which the Socialists love to tout in their defense. The problem is, they will create the same chaotic platform for poverty here that they left behind. I have no idea how to 'deport' them, especially when we give preferential treatment to Central Americans over Mexicans, so none of them — wisely — have any 'papers' to prove where they are, or are not, from. I think we have to form ourselves into gated enclaves until we can gather enough money to buy back huge tracts of land for our existence, though that will take years and many lawyers. What is Counter-Currents' Foundation about? Creating foundations and trusts is how most rich white people gather land unto themselves. Just throwing out a few random thoughts here.
Irishman says:
Excellent article. WN 1.0 cannot work. Even if this latest lone wolf attacker killed a high value anti-Europeans target such as Angela Merkel , it would only help the cause of the advocates of the great replacement. To save our peoples of Europe and the diaspora in North America and elsewhere, we must win the meta political war and change the culture to being pro European and discard old grievances e.g. French vs the Germans, Irish Vs English etc. If violence is indeed needed, then it will be collective actions of large numbers of our peoples winning back our rights to self determination and our own homelands
Joshua Shalet says:
I'm an orthodox Jew living in Israel and agree with this 100%
Multiculturalism/multiracialism is an abomination unto God
Jonathan Bowden said in a speech that it took 400 years for the Irish to have a balanced and judicial view of Cromwell. It will take us a comparable amount of time to regain favor–centuries, that is; I'd wager at least two. All we can really do is keep the flame of these ideas alive. Violent action taken against civilians is morally repugnant and only radicalizes people toward the other side.
chromanin says:
Unfortunately, reason and science appear to be marginal strengths. When it comes to public opinion, feelings outperform facts every time. Charisma and re-framing are ultimately more impactful than presenting well-reasoned opinion. This is why it is a mistake to join the chorus of condemnation; rather, we should take a page from our opponents' book and excuse our extremists, focusing entirely on the oppression which causes their disenfranchisement and justified indignation.
To your credit, you do draw attention to the preconditions of ill-advised violence here, but then you undercut with these "Thanks, A-hole" captioned images. Perhaps you'd disagree, but I don't think we score many points with the public by virtue-signalling about how reprehensible we find such acts (even if sincere). I believe it more effective to say "It's tragic, but what did you expect? Stop destroying our people!" as opposed to "This is disgraceful and we disavow it entirely, smh at all the losers in our movment… But our position is still correct, you know."
Now I realize that you are an intellectual providing nuanced opinion, not just some anonymous memer (which also puts you under legal scrutiny). So please don't misconstrue my comment as hyper-critical; I just wanted to share my opinion on the general strategy I think we should adopt.
There is no excuse for stupid and counter-productive behavior. People like this need to be discouraged, and the quickest way to discourage them is to heap scorn upon them. If the bloody-minded fools who lionized Tarrant instead joined a chorus of universal mockery and condemnation, do you think that Balliet, Crusius, and Earnest would have been likely to copy him? At the very least, it would have lowered the chances.
Patrick Griffin says:
Quote from Greg Johnson's article "This is why our enemies are hell-bent on censoring and deplatforming us. They use every shooting spree like Tarrant's or Balliet's as a pretext to further clamp down on our freedom of speech, which restricts our ability to change minds and delays the implementation of sane, nationalist policies"
Our enemies are also engaged in running false flag/hoaxes and I consider the list you made above too be pretty much ALL 'hoaxes'. Any attempt by white nations to re-assert themselves is made to look bad by association with these 'shooters'. My contention is there are no shooters for the most part these are constructed events for propaganda purposes. And the fact you seem to implicitly believe the 'story' shows it is working only too well
Sorry, there is no evidence that any of these events are false flags or hoaxes, and the Alex Jones freaks who label everything a false flag look like hysterical morons and make our movement look like a joke. This is not a platform for your nonsense.
SouthernNationalist says:
I simply think it needs to be made clear that lone acts of violence never accomplish anything. Certainly revolutions rarely materialize without organized violence, but organized it most certainly has to be in order for it to accomplish anything. Unfortunately, we live under conditions that amount to a giant stale-mate of inaction, and without a catalyst such as systematic economic collapse, nothing will ever change that.
Kendra Blewitt says:
Lone acts of violence, such as those of Bowers and Earnest, accomplish nothing? Okay, there never used to be anti-Semitism in the United States. The Jews called the USA their "exceptional nation" because anti-Semitism was almost non-existant. Suddenly it has appeared! Why? The Jews consist of two types: the assimilated and the nationalist. In the USA the assimilated Jews are powerful in the overall Jewish community. Now then, most likely the assimilated Jews are blaming the nationalist Jews for the sudden development of anti-Semitism in the USA. Is this conflict within the Jewish community not in White interest?
Astute Observer says:
Let's try to put the Halle shooting into a wider context. First off, can anyone deny that, from the point of view of the German multicultural establishment, the Halle incident couldn't have come at a more opportune moment? Look at what has transpired in Germany recently, all within the time span of just a few short months:
– The somewhat right-wing "Alternative fur Deutschland" (AfD) gaining considerably in several state elections, with more of that expected in the near future. These gains have happened despite a gigantic and lavishly funded campaign of demonization and obstruction directed against the party including persistent and wide-ranging violence committed by state-sponsored antifa. They have also happened despite of deep divisions within the party, where a pro-establishment wing based mainly in the West tries to steer it away from its programmatic stance, which is actually just a rehash of what the Christian Democrats stood for until unification, s stance that already unacceptable in polite company in today's Merkelized Germany. The establishment tries to exploit the persistence of the AfD's success by creating an ever more polarizing dialectic. But it must still be unnerving for them that the trajectory of the AfD's electoral success is clearly upward.
– The AfD is just an outwardly visible tip of the ice berg of a thriving and diverse right-wing opposition in Germany, which is mainly centered in the East. This opposition consists of all kinds of groups and initiatives from the moderate to the radical, including intellectual opposition like what can be read on the sezession.de Website. Mind you that Germany still has an uncontested right-wing street presence by way of the ongoing Pegida demonstrations in Dresden, something that cannot be said about almost any other place in the Western world. It's a pity that these developments are not more recognized in the English-speaking world. Again, it must be unnerving for the establishment that this opposition refuses to go away despite everything that's being thrown against it.
– The German economy, in particular the auto industry, going into recession. During its initial phase, the Merkel government greatly profited from anti-worker legislation introduced under her predecessor Schroeder. Germany went into a competition of low wages against its European neighbors, won it, and that together with high productivity led to economic growth, which financed Merkel's policies. Then came the financial crisis, which the government papered over just like everybody else by money printing. The money printing all over the world created demand, which gave Germany's export-oriented economy a new lease of life, and political experiments could go on. This model is now unraveling with economic growth all over the world abating and money printing becoming less and less effective in view of the imbalances and mountains of debt it created.
– The Merkel government caving in to the Greta craziness. In her usual opportunistic fashion, Merkel saw over a "climate package" being passed, the intention being to placate the demonstrators. That did not happen as the demonstrations are still going on. They are actually becoming increasingly radical with street blockades in the central parts of Berlin. At the same time, millions of working people are realizing that increased fuel taxes are going to add to their costs of living. These effects are so obvious, even the main stream media cannot deny them.
– Relative costs of living in Germany are already high in Germany. Taxation is high to finance a gigantic welfare state that still leaves millions in poor condition, wages are low compared to productivity, the money printing has created a real-estate bubble, immigration has further exacerbated the situation on the housing market, energy prices are high.
– The policies that have led to high energy prices, a flagship project of successive Merkel cabinets, are also unraveling, and again the mainstream media cannot deny it. There is hardly any net increase in the number of wind turbines as their life spans so short that older ones now being phased out almost compensate for new ones being installed. It has also become generally accepted that wind turbines kill large numbers of birds and insects, a fact that is used effectively by local initiatives in fighting against new wind turbine installations. To top it all off, there is now mounting evidence for wind turbines leading to droughts in their wake paths, a phenomenon that Germany experienced in severe manners in 2018.
– A renewed phase of immigration like the one in 2015 may be just around the corner. Turkey is invading Syria and post-Salvini Italy has performed a 180-degree turn in its policies towards refugee ships approaching its harbors. German politicians can do nothing about it. Even Merkel's minister of the interior and pseudo-hardliner Seehofer, a Christian Democrat from Bavaria (where they are called the Christian socialists), has overtly jumped on the immigrant-friendly bandwagon by declaring his support for refugee quotas.
– Brexit may still occur, although it is somewhat doubtful that it will. If it occurs, the EU will loose its major cash cow besides Germany. That will put further strains on Germany's finances, all the more so since Brexit will render the Southern voting block in the EU so dominant that there is going to be even more re-distribution from the North to the South.
– The murder of a local Christian Democrat politician in the Hessian town of Kassel entered the news cycle and then left it despite a great deal of media hysteria about it. The politician had made a name for himself by vocally supporting the government immigration policies. A purportedly right-wing guy was arrested for the murder, confessed to it but has since withdrawn his confession.
– Germany has a net outflow off highly educated people numbering in the tens of thousands every year, the infrastructure is crumbling, new infrastructure projects like the new airport in Berlin are not coming to fruition, the armed forces are a joke with the draft having been abolished and most of their major equipment being in-operational, Germany is falling behind in major international indicators like the level of investment into education, the list goes on and on.
In short, Merkel's ascendancy to the chancellorship marked a phase shift to the left in Germany, although this shift had been long in the making at least since the 60's. After more than ten years of unabashed leftism, Germany is a polarized, impoverished, crumbling mess and this mess cannot be denied by the mainstream media. Opposition is growing even within the Christian Democrats, at least, where there are calls for letting the party membership elect a candidate to run for chancellor. That would surely oust Merkel's designated successor, an obscure female politician carrying a name nobody can pronounce or even remember how to write. (All the overtly left-wing parties in Germany, the Greens, the Social Democrats etc., are totally hopeless and will never generate any opposition.)
Just a few days before the Halle incident, there was another incident, now conveniently almost forgotten, where a Syrian refugee touted by witnesses to be shouting "Allah is Greater" drove a lorry into a row of cars, injuring several occupants. Life has already very visibly changed in Germany with the approaches to Christmas markets and other public gatherings regularly protected by rows of concrete blocks. These blocks, lovingly called "Merkel blocks" or "Merkelpoller" in German, have appeared everywhere in aftermath of a number of people, including children, crushed to death or severely injured in the lorry attack on a Christmas market in Berlin in 2016. Another gruesome attack just this summer saw an immigrant throwing a mother and her eight year son under an oncoming train in broad daylight at the main railway station in Frankfurt. The mother survived, the child died. There was a great deal of reporting about this attack in Germany, and it was not the only one of its kind, with at least two youths having been killed in the same manner elsewhere not long before. There was a hope that the German state at the very least had brought the security situation somewhat under control in the aftermath of the crisis in 2015 and the terrorist attack in 2016. These hopes have been dashed by what has happened since summer, everybody could see that nothing was under control in Germany and the news reporting was full of it all.
And now, like at the flick of a switch, it's all forgotten. German media are all fretting about the Halle incident. In particular, the AfD is being held responsible for it. You can be sure that public hysteria is not going to abate quickly and that there will be more measures in the "fight against the right", the "Kampf gegen Rechts" as it's called, which has already led to severe curtailments to civil rights across the board. The fight against the right is nothing but the fight against everything that does not conform to multicultural leftism.
Johnson has already noted other coincidences. Places of worship being attacked, obscure loners doing the attacking, random people, not even worshippers being shot, livestreams put op on the Internet, crude ideological tenets being sputtered, ever more civil rights being curtailed in the aftermath.
There are just too many of these coincidences. We have to entertain the possibility that these attacks are somehow orchestrated, even if they may not be false-flags attacks in the most narrow meaning of the word. We have to think about whether it might be possible to set loose attackers at opportune moments even without the attackers themselves realizing what's going on. What possibilities might exist to control the minds of certain vulnerable people? We are not talking about conspiracy theories and cheap science fiction. It can be assumed that certain right-wing groups are heavily infiltrated by the security services. Could it be the case that would-be attackers are sought out and then surrounded by influencers? Could it be that would-be attackers have their electronic communications hacked to present them with an alternate view if reality? This is all wild speculation but what is the probability that all these attacks go down in the same fashion, leading to the same results? Seeking out psychologically unstable, less than bright, right-wing loners would certainly make sense just like letting them attack random religious worshippers but never, ever any of the elites.
Germany has actually seen something of a this kind with the so-called NSU murders. The NSU or "Nationalsozialistischer Untergrund" (nationally socialist underground) was a group held responsible for a string of murders of Turks and one police woman roughly since 1999. It all went bust when two of their members purportedly killed themselves by setting alight a van they were sitting in in 2011. The NSU and everything around it was another major news item in Germany all through the 2010's. Lo and behold, the security services have their fingerprints all over it, in the most egregious ways. It's easy to look up on the Internet, everybody is invited to do so. Files were destroyed, witnesses died, one of them on his way to testifying before court (!), the whole gamut. Just one tidbit for everybody to consider is this: Of the supposedly killed Turks, several were targeted at fast-food joints, and all of these were actually Kurds. How could the NSU have known or even cared about that they were killing Turks of Kurdish descent?
The situation is so serious, we have to make room in our minds for what seems to be exceedingly improbable at first glance.
I think the NSU is clearly a deep-state hoax. Not a false flag. But a hoax stitching together real crimes probably committed by other Turks with fake testimony.
That does not imply that the appalling stupidity in Halle was a false flag.
Sadly, there are all too many bloody-minded morons in our movement. It is perfectly believable Balliet is one more of them.
The point about timing makes no sense. The Left is masterful at exploiting such events. It does not have to manufacture them. I am pretty much sure that the exact same people would milk this crime for political gain in the exact same way if it were to have happened one month before or one month hence.
Talk of "coincidence" is misplaced here. It is not a coincidence that so many of these shooters are targeting places of worship. It is part of the plan. Not the "deep state" plan, but the plans of one bloody-minded fool copying another bloody-minded fool.
Surely, you have watched the video that was allegedly made by the Christchurch shooter? What would be your take on what can be seen in this video? Socks don't lie.
Conspiratards do lie however.
Socks cannot conspire either.
Gnome Chompsky says:
Even the title of ths article is wrong. There was no synagogue shooting.
This idiot managed to shoot two of his fellow Germans, that is all. One of the two, a young construction painter, who one would assume would otherwise have made a family. The other, an innocent disabled fan of bad pop music.
Tarrant, OTHO, I know that violence is counter-productive, but as I am sure many others have suffered at the hands (or waved knives) of Moslem invaders.
Many lives have been thus disrupted or destroyed.
Tarrant saved New Zealand from much future crime. His action was also stylish, the inscriptions on weapons worth a thought..
I have been in Christchurch, New Zealand, years ago. A very beautiful place.
No mosques, no moslem sub-humans.

Based on our long experience in design, marketing and installation of entrance systems, work with other leading manufacturers and direct contact with customers and users of mats, we decided to start developing and manufacturing our own unique entrance cleaning systems.
June 2011 –We started designing and developing the first series entrance mats - HD60 and Duo. In the design process we tried to avoid all the shortcomings of existing systems, to improve their quality parameters, and keeping law price at the same time. One of our main goals was the creation of a highly resistant product designed for extreme traffic areas.
August 2011 - after extensive selection, we choose our suppliers of components and materials. We chose leading manufacturers with high quality products and we ordered our initial stock supplies.
September 2011 - By that time we were ready with first test samples of HD60 products and all necessary internal tests.
October 2011 - began regular production models of the series HD60.
December 2011 - good product acceptance by customers and dealers led us to develop the idea and the other two systems - HD40 and HD25, based on the HD60 series, we were ready with their design by end of the year. Initial supply of materials needed for production of test samples from the Duo series was ordered.
January 2012 – we were ready with test samples of the Duo series and tested them.
We intend to develop another product - low profile L43, with a ramp profile, designed for low-traffic public areas and private homes. It will be designed for installation on top, without mat well.
Although we started our production recently, we already acquired large customer base and finished many projects. The positive feedback from our customers gives us the confidence that we have created the right products.


uncomplicated super fun mare with a great personality!
Desensitize your horse on our obstacle course, work on obedience and balance in our clinic teaching foundation exercises that will improve your horse no matter what discipline.
We were teaching in Aiken, SC where the event world trains in the winter. The horse community is rich in cross country courses to train over. The soft red clay footing is easy on the joints and the horses love the weather which ranges from 40-70 in the winter. Check out our new listings of event prospects for sale and visit our clinic schedule for our next training session.
McCoy is the perfect event horse because he will jump anything you point him at-ditches, banks, water, drops, logs, tables, combinations etc. He is beautifully trained in dressage and jumps in perfect form. 15.3 hands tall, stunning and kind, a once in a lifetime mount for the timid rider or competitive kid. Contact us to try him.
We worked on the set of Arthur for several days for a horse sequence involving the main actors, Jennifer Garner and Russell Brand riding double on Mr. T also known as Harbor Mist. Mr. T is famous for being the main horse in Dreamer, and he played Temple Grandin's favorite horse, Chestnut in the HBO film Temple Grandin. Mr. T also played one of the Secretariat's in the new Disney film, Secretariat co-starring Diane Lane and John Malkovich.
Actors can be excellent students since they are used to taking direction and listening to what is required to get the shot. Jenn is a natural and Russell is natually terrified of horses. Both worked through each scene with grace and ease.

Will D. Campbell and Jim Wallis
July 13, 2018 Collection-related Publications, Special CollectionsKeith Call
Will D. Campbell, author and activist, occupied a distinct and somewhat lonely category as he preached a transcendent message of peace during an era of sharply divided political ideologies. Ordained in 1941 at age 17 as a Southern Baptist preacher, Campbell briefly served a pastorate in Louisiana before engaging his lifelong public ministry — advocating for Civil Rights. Presenting himself as a backwoods "bootleg" hayseed, wearing cowboy boots and straw hats, he actually possessed a fine intellect, abundant courage and quick wit. Campbell, siding unhesitatingly with the oppressed and disenfranchised, was one of four who boldly escorted African American students, known as the "Little Rock Nine," into the racially segregated Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Campbell was also the only white man to attend the founding of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1957.
In addition to frequent lecturing at churches and universities, Campbell wrote fiction and non-fiction. His novels include The Glad River (1982) and The Convention (1988). His autobiography, Brother to a Dragonfly, was a finalist for the 1978 National Book Award. Though Campbell vigorously battled inequality, his simple Christian faith elevated him above the violent forces of impassioned rhetoric. For example, he visited James Earl Ray, the assassin of Martin Luther King, Jr., in prison, insisting that the segregationist too is a child of God and a brother. He also ministered to members of the Ku Klux Klan, performing marriages and funerals, visiting them in jail and hospital.
At one prominent event he introduced himself: "My name is Will Campbell. I'm a Baptist preacher. I'm a native of Mississippi. And I'm pro-Klansman because I'm pro-human being." Not surprisingly, Campbell's extraordinarily irenic ministry infuriated other civil rights leaders, stirring deep resentment. How could he do such a thing?
"Mr. Jesus died for the bigots as well," Campbell reasonably responded. "Christ's death and resurrection is for Eldridge Cleaver [Black Panther leader] and Robert Shelton, the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan."
Campbell later remarked, "I never was able to explain to them that pro-Klansman is not the same as pro-Klan. That the former has to do with a person, the other with an ideology. I tried to stand patiently, even in the face of fear and danger, because I had so recently learned that lesson myself."
His invaluable perspective on race and equality was not lost on key figures of the burgeoning social gospel movement. Jim Wallis, founder of Sojourners, invited Campbell on August 18, 1980, to write for his magazine:
You speak more sanely and clearly about reconciliation and the gospel than anybody I know. We would be very happy to have an article from you on what reconciliation means now, especially in light of the deteriorating racial and economic situation. Your relationship both to southern blacks and poor whites, and the Klan in particular, is pretty unique, and you might want to write something out of all that. Stories drawn from your travels as a sort of pastoral troubleshooter would well illustrate such an article. If the idea grabs you at all, we'd be interested. You could shape the article in any direction you wanted.
Campbell replied on September 2, 1980:
My feeling here is that I don't have anything to say that I have not said several times already. The alleged resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan is, I believe, largely a media mind stance. The Klan has never really gone away. I continue to try to point out that a few hundred poor, confused folks marching around a burning cross, or even gunning down folks marching in Greensboro, are not the real racist enemy in the country. And a lot of folks go on seeing me as some kind of apologist for the KKK. I have never said that they are not evil. The point is that we who practice the sophisticated and socially acceptable brand of racism are more evil.
After an active career of prophetic proclamation and courageous action, Campbell died at age 88 in 2013.
Jim Wallis's brief exchange with Will D. Campbell is maintained in the Sojourners collection (SC-23) of Special Collections, Buswell Library. Sojourners' mission is to inspire hope and build a movement to transform individuals, communities, the church, and the world. You can read more about their racial justice efforts here.

Why our employees love working at PRG
October 3, 2018 /in Blog /by PRG
At PRG, we have multiple brands covering different sectors in the market. We asked consultants working underneath the iO Associates brand what they thought about working for PRG…
Jordan Ahmed – Recruitment Associate
"I joined iO over 17 months ago and haven't looked back since. I have been a world wind of a journey since I started and by that, I mean I have really had my fair share of ups and downs but even through these times I can honestly say this is one of the best companies I have worked for. One of the main things I rate about working here is the people. Everyone here is always so friendly and it is a very positive place to work. To anyone thinking of joining iO, I would highly recommend."
Lucy Standish – Delivery Specialist
"I joined the PRG group at the beginning of 2018 having never worked in recruitment before. Since day one of working with this brilliant team of people I've felt welcomed and supported by everyone and learnt so much because of that. I've never worked somewhere so collaborative where every person's success is constantly recognised and celebrated, as an individual and as part of your team.
Everything exciting that I was told about where the company is heading, the promotions available to everyone, the great culture and work ethic of the day-to-day life here at PRG is true. After previously working for companies in the past where I felt stuck, or under-valued, coming here and joining such a successful and genuine company has been eye-opening to how good a career can be.
iO give you every single tool to help you become the best recruiter you can be, and then it's up to you how far you take that which can be challenging, but enjoyable when it's such a hilarious, ambitious, energised office!"
Josh Gardiner – Senior Recruitment Associate
"I joined iO associates almost a 3 years' ago and it is safe to say that it was the best decision I have ever made with regards to my working career. I went from a global recruitment company where you are simply a number to an exciting, driven company where you find yourself at the heart of everything.
One of my favourite things about working for iO associates is that the opportunities are genuinely endless here. There is no limit to what you can achieve and that becomes obvious as soon as you step through the door. Everyone is hungry to succeed & to take the group to the next level. There's a real buzz about the place! That, along with the energy, culture and the expertise you're surrounded by makes it hands-down the best place I could possibly be working.
My future prospects at iO are incredibly exciting. I know that with hard work, determination and commitment this company can take me to places that I have never dreamed of. The ambition of the directors and the direction of the company means that I am very much looking forward to successfully growing with the organisation and can't wait for the many more years ahead here."

Randomized controlled trial of screening for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Zhang BH1, Yang BH, Tang ZY.
Liver Cancer Institute of Fudan University, Zhongshan Hospital, 180 Feng Lin Road, Shanghai 200032, China. bzhang@zshospital.net
Screening for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been conducted for over 20 years, but there is no conclusive evidence that screening may reduce HCC mortality. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of screening on HCC mortality in people at increased risk.
This study included 18,816 people, aged 35-59 years with hepatitis B virus infection or a history of chronic hepatitis in urban Shanghai, China. Participants were randomly allocated to a screening (9,373) or control (9,443) group. Controls received no screening and continued to use health-care facilities. Screening group participants were invited to have an AFP test and ultrasonography examination every 6 months. Screening was stopped in December 1997; by that time screening group participants had been offered five to ten times. All participants were followed up until December 1998. The primary outcome measure was HCC mortality.
The screened group completed 58.2 percent of the screening offered. When the screening group was compared to the control group, the number of HCC was 86 versus 67; subclinical HCC being 52 (60.5%) versus 0; small HCC 39 (45.3%) versus 0; resection achieved 40 (46.5%) versus 5 (7.5%); 1-, 3,-, and 5-year survival rate 65.9%, 52.6%, 46.4% versus 31.2%, 7.2%, 0, respectively. Thirty-two people died from HCC in the screened group versus 54 in the control group, and the HCC mortality rate was significantly lower in the screened group than in controls, being 83.2/100,000 and 131.5/100,000, respectively, with a mortality rate ratio of 0.63 (95%CI 0.41-0.98).
Our finding indicated that biannual screening reduced HCC mortality by 37%.

Agustín Santiago was fatally shot outside a busy subway station in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn (NYC), yesterday during rush hour.
Santiago, 34, was shot in the chest shortly before 6 p.m. near the Marcy Avenue station. He was rushed to NYC Health and Hospitals / Woodhull, where he was pronounced dead.
The shooting, which occurred at the foot of the steps of the Brooklyn-bound subway stop, is being described as "Drug related", police sources said. No arrests have been announced.
That homicide occurred just 40 minutes before another man was fatally shot and two others were injured in a separate incident in the neighborhood. Canarsie from Brooklyn.
Aaron Vincent, 28, suffered a gunshot wound to the throat near East 80th Street and Flatlands Avenue around 6:30 p.m., the NYPD said. He was pronounced dead at Brookdale Hospital Medical Center.
Police said the other two victims were taken to the same hospital after being shot and both were in stable condition, it reported. New York Post.
No arrests have been made for any of these shootings. Who has information should call at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) and in Spanish 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). Also via the crimestoppers.nypdonline.org page or by text message to 274637 (CRIMES), followed by TIP577. All communications are strictly confidential.
During the first 10 months of 2021 the city added 1,324 shootings, a two-dozen increase compared to the same time last year and nearly double pre-pandemic levels. The trend has not decreased in recent weeks. The reports implicate younger and younger suspects shooting and stabbing in the streets of New York, presumably linked to gangs.

Self-hate is back in its fullest form and I had a bad, bad day. Thought it should go into the journal of my trip to/through the land of no-self hate. I am starting to realise how self-hate / judgement / continuously commenting and having opinions is another form of addiction. It is funny to change perspectives which are so engrained in my life. It even feels like they are in engrained in my body.
It also wears me out, this shifting from one point and taking an effort without taking an effort to not judge, not self-hate, not comment, getting to this point of tranquility. And then falling deep down into the darkness again over something. The opposites get so big. Which is good. I mean: is this not how anybody comes into sobriety too? Drinking and then trying not to drink, not drinking for one day and feeling good and then drinking again and thinking 'should not have done that….' etc. etc. untill the good side of sobriety outweighs the 'good' side of drinking.
And you know what the not so funny funny thing is? I have been doing this ALL MY LIFE! I did not want to notice. Denial? Check! It is amazing how many layers and layers of self-destructive adaptations to Life I have put into place to, to…. to I do not know what.
In the book 'There is nothing wrong with you.' ("Then you have not met me yet…" says the internal voice.) from Cheri Huber, I have come to the page where she asks students of her group how they went home after a day of learning about self-hate. And funny in a not funny way, the left from heaven to walk into hell. Just as I did. And the more I read, the more I got caught up so that was not the answer today. I could not stay with myself.
I finally did find a video of Jeff Foster. It is about aspects of (self)hate and how feeling displaced in this world is actually stirred on by a real intense wish to live (in a good world). To throw away the mask. To undo myself from the fakeness I have layered upon me.
My energy for doing things has returned in the past week. Again with taking Iodine pills. I keep on forgetting how important supplementing these seems to be for me. And magically it looks like I'm losing some weight too. I think to know by now that I am not depressed. I have seen some depressed people on video and that is not me (anymore). But there is also another thing going on and that is me realising that I put on a lot of different masks. The one who does not always want to be the problem is very prevalent now. I find it difficult to differentiate between real happy and made up happy currently Specifically because I switch from not self-hating and being happy to self-hating like crazy and denying myself to feel that and pretending to be happy for the outside world. Which I then find out later.
When I fall back into the darkness on a day like today I am flabbergasted on they why and how and I have no clue. Would not like to find me like this on a working day. That scares me too.
Maybe today's darkness was me missing the hug-buddy. Maybe it was the portal day on the Mayan calender which makes people feel down. Or maybe… I am in transition. I have not had a period since the Mirena IUD was taken out a few months ago so… maybe that is here, or has been, or….? Who knows? Maybe I can get my hormone levels checked. That would be an idea.
I have been here before I think to remember but what I experience is something like: a personality is made up of bricks of pieces, experiences, feelings, however you want to see that and it has a glue with a certain personality taste so the bricks of the experience are all facing the way that causes me to react a certain way. Like the above drawing: if my personality is set up to always see the squares, the glue which puts all the experiences in place is now falling apart at some moments and then I see the round thingies. Also I see both the thingies and sometimes I see the 'whole' picture. But mostly I am rather tired of all the shifting that is going on.
Ok, cat says it is (way past) bed time. Which it is. She comes to get me from behind my desk and then walks to the bedroom. 🙂 Hint hint.
Thank you for staying with my musings which, even in my perception, can be very uncomfortable. I have been reading older posts from me a few weeks now and they even make me uncomfortable. Or maybe that is because they stir things in me which other people possibly do not have. Not sure.
I am grateful that I have quit drinking alcohol. Addiction is a destructive way of 'living'. Summer has come to The Netherlands and the way people treat themselves is not nice.
A friend of mine came to visit last week. She is from a non Western background and her husband has gotten addicted to alcohol over the last 5 years. We spoke, I finally advised her to go to her GP and get into contact with an addiction care-taker. She would not want to do so without informing her husband so this is where we left it. I hope all goes well. At least the wheels are set in motion. I really dislike seeing how he treats her. I really hope they find good help.


Well, this is it, my last post from the road for at least a little while. I set out from my hometown of Eugene, Oregon about three weeks ago to look for renewable energy work in the Portland and Seattle areas, and then headed east towards Walla Walla for my sister's graduation. 60 kilometers short of my arrival there, I passed my halfway mark–half an earth circumference, or 12,450 miles/20,037 km–and my stopping point (for now).
Despite one particularly long day (70 miles of gravel heading up and over Snoqualmie Pass, 2 miles of pushing my bike up steep singletrack, 2 miles of pushing it over snow fields, and a whole lot of rain), this leg has been a good way to finish off the first half of my tour. Back on my home turf, among hills that I know and love, the wildflowers were out and my friends and family helped welcome me home.
My route for this last leg took me up the Willamette Valley and through Washington to Seattle, then east to Walla Walla. Heading east from Seattle, you can spend two 60-mile days on gravel bike paths, with beautiful views and isolated from the traffic.
Eugene's branch of the national climate march, bringing wise words from Il Papa on climate justice. The green of spring in the Willamette Valley. Nearly everyone seems to develop some form of allergies after a few years of life in the 'grass seed capital of the world'. Climate change is lengthening the pollen-producing period for plants in some northern areas, and people are already suffering from worsened allergies and asthma–with expensive and life-threatening consequences. The road north. Thanks to Theo for lunch and Lise for hosting me on my first day out of Eugene. This area is famous for its covered bridges, a low-tech, low-impact solution to dangerous ice that would form on the valley's bridges in winter. Spring wildflowers along the road 🙂 This rails-to-trails bike path east of Seattle runs nearly continuously for 130 miles. Electricity cooperatives are almost as old as our commercial electric systems. Many of them sprang up in response to the needs of rural communities in the era of electrification and survive until this day. Tanner Electric Cooperative was founded in 1936 and is run as a not-for-profit, offering renewable power options to its customers in rural western Washington. A dusting of snow above farmland, near the top of Snoqualmie Pass. The Iron Horse Trail is a gravel multi-use path converted from the old regional rail line, and offers great views of the surrounding mountains. This photo taken from a rusty old trellis bridge. Heading into the darkness at the top of the pass. Props to the creativity and tenacity of the no-face artist. Getting on into the drier hills of the East, the Columbia River bends north into Washington. The eastern Cascade region is a national hotspot for wind energy production. In 2015, the state of Washington produced 7,100 Gigawatt-hours of electricity, 6% of the state's energy production and enough to supply nearly 620,000 average American homes with electricity for a year. I'll end this chapter of the tour with some flower pictures and thank-yous. These are from the garden of the CarltAnn House Bed & Breakfast in Walla Walla (Thanks, Nathan and John!) Thanks first to my friends and family, who have supported me along the way. None of this would have been possible without you. And thanks to everyone who has contributed to the project so far, with writing, creativity, or logistical support. Thanks to all those who have helped me without even knowing me. I've had people give me food, shelter, cash, cheers, 加油s; spend hours trying to understand my bad Chinese/Russian/Kyrgryz/French/Arabic/Georgian/Turkish. Truckers in China saved me from a blizzard and fed me snack food and grain alcohol to boot. Just in the last few weeks, there was Yvonne in Vantage and the WSDOT employee who shuttled me past dangerous sections of road, there were friends who hosted and fed me, and there was the Toutle River RV Resort, which let me stay free of charge. No country or region has been without its helpers, and I'm grateful to you all. Finally, thanks to you, for reading. I'll be back out there before too long.
HI Forrest, I have enjoyed reading your posts for these many months. Loved the pictures and the descriptions of the world around you. So happy you are back in the US safely, and looking forward to hearing about your next adventures!
Hi, Val. I'll keep posting periodically during this interim to let people know what I'm up to and what ideas and models I'm interested in. Thanks for following!

SRI LANKA - The slaughtering of cattle and pigs, and goats as well, selling and transporting of beef, mutton and pork was banned in the Gampaha District from Saturday, 8 March, as several head of cattle with foot and mouth were detected in the area.
According to DailyMirror, Animal Production and Health Department Director General Dr W.K. de Silva said the gazette notification in this regard had been sent to the Government printer the previous day (Friday, 7 March).
Earlier, stalls of beef, mutton and pork were closed in seven districts following the spread of the disease among cattle in those districts and now it has spread to the Western Province and the Southern Province as well, Dr Silva said.
Jaffna, Vavuniya, Mullaitivu, Ampara, Trincomalee, Anuradhapura and Puttalam were the seven districts in which the ban had been already in force.
It has been revealed that cattle in the Karandeniya area in the Galle District have contracted the disease after several heads of cattle were brought to the area from Welisara in the Gampaha District.

Q: Running vite build using tsconfig.build.ts Question
Is there a way to specify which tsconfig file to use when running the vite build command?
Problem
I am building a component library with Vite and TypeScript. My test suite is running the new Cypress component testing feature and so I've included "src/**/*.cy.ts" in my tsconfig.json. TypeScript needed some type definitions which I put in cypress/support/components.d.ts, and included "cypress/**/*.ts" in my tsconfig.json. Everything is working as it should, but cypress/support/components.d.ts is included in my dist directory on build.
I've gone through the docs for both Vite and Rollup, but was unable to find a way to exclude Cypress when building. Now I want to simply have a tsconfig.build.json that extends tsconfig.json, but excludes all Cypress related files. The only thing left is to tell Vite that I want to use tsconfig.build.json during the build process.
I imagine this would be done either through vite.config.ts or as a flag (vite build --config tsconfig.build.json).
I made a tsconfig.build.json:
{
  "extends": "./tsconfig.json",
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules",
    "cypress"
  ]
}

But I'm not sure how to instruct Vite to use this config on build.

typescript@4.8.4
vite@3.2.2

A: I found a way of specifying another tsconfig file through vite-plugin-dts. This is the plugin I'm already using to generate types during the build process.
// vite.config.ts

import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import dts from 'vite-plugin-dts'

export default defineConfig({
  build: { ... },
  plugins: [
    vue(),
    dts({
      tsConfigFilePath: 'tsconfig.build.json',
    }),
  ],
})

Alternative solution
The vite-plugin-dts options also allows to set excludes/includes that overrides tsconfig.json and makes a separate tsconfig.build.json redundant.
// vite.config.ts

import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import dts from 'vite-plugin-dts'

export default defineConfig({
  build: { ... },
  plugins: [
    vue(),
    dts({
      exclude: [
        'node_modules',
        'cypress'
      ],
    }),
  ],
})

A: tsc provides the build options --project. documentation
so you just create new tsconfig file like:
// tsconfig.build.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
   ...
  },
  "include": ["src"],
  "exclude": ["**/cypress/*"],
  "references": [{ "path": "./tsconfig.node.json" }]
}

then modify your build script on package.json:
"scripts":{
  "build": "tsc --project tsconfig.build.json && vite build -d",
}

The advantage is to write test cases can continue to enjoy type hinting and ignore the test script when your compile time.

Burial Information
BRANDHOEK NEW MILITARY CEMETERY NO 3
Grave Reference:
I. N. 7.
Brandhoek New Military Cemetery No 3 is located 6.5 km west of Ieper town centre on the Branderstraat, a road leading from the N308 connecting Ieper to Poperinge. From Ieper town centre the Poperingseweg (N308) is reached via Elverdingsestraat then directly over two small roundabouts in the J. Capronstraat. The Poperingseweg is a continuation of the J. Capronstraat and begins after a prominent railway level crossing. 6 km along the N308, after passing the village of Vlamertinge and just beyond the church in the hamlet of Brandhoek, lies the left hand turning onto the Grote Branderstraat. The cemetery is located 300 metres along the Branderstraat on the left hand side of the road, beyond the N38 dual carriageway, which it is necessary to cross. Historical Information:
During the First World War, Brandhoek was within the area comparatively safe from shell fire which extended beyond Vlamertinghe Church. Field ambulances were posted there continuously and the Military Cemetery was opened early in May 1915 in a field adjoining the dressing station. It closed in July 1917 when the New Military Cemetery was opened nearby, to be followed by the New Military Cemetery No 3 in August 1917. Brandhoek New Military Cemetery No 3 contains 975 First World War burials. The cemetery was designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield.

So I'm still writing and engine in XNA (could do it in C++ & Open GL but its been a while) therefore I wouldn't be able to enter this one (in fact I just found this site) so i thought I'd post an idea for anyone they want to use..
Basically the Bomb needs to be charged to be used to its full potential.
- Just press the button and it clears everything in a small radius of you.
- hold for 2x seconds and its celears scenery, enemies and their bullets.
You get the gist of it, maybe work the stages so it makes sense to have the for types of bullet..
anyway hope that was helpful or gives others another idea.
I was going to do something like that (based on 19XX: The War Against Destiny), but I had enough trouble just getting the core theme in. It turns out that I was missing a lot of engine support for basic things like weapon powerups and bomb pickups, and spent almost two weeks completing a hugely over-engineered general solution that didn't work out like I had hoped.


The IMF expects this year the average price of oil on world markets to hover around $56.73 per barrel, and in the future — $63.88, the agency reported on Tuesday at the World Economy prospects presentation in Beijing.
The IMF expects this year the average price of oil on world markets to hover around $56.73 per barrel, and in the future — $63.88, the agency reported on Tuesday at the World Economy prospects presentation in Beijing. The average price was determined by simple arithmetic — by taking the average prices of Brent, Dubai and West Texas oil. For the sake of comparison, the report mentioned that the average price of oil in 2014 was $96.3 per barrel.
The commentary to the report provides background to the falling oil prices, for example that since September 2014, the price of oil fell by approximately 55%. This decrease is a result of the unexpected low demand for oil in some major economies, especially in the emerging markets. Futures prices suggest a partial recovery in the coming years, in accordance with the expected negative impact of low prices on the investment inflow, as well as with the future growth capacity in the oil sector, the report said.
According to IMF, it is also possible that the oil prices have fallen too steeply and could rise higher or sooner than expected if the demand ends up higher than expected.
