Let There Be Consequences

Filosofa's Word

Y’know … some mornings I wake up and wonder what alternative world I have stumbled into.  Nothing is as it once seemed, norms that I’ve known for some 7 decades have been shattered, replaced by utter stupidity and conspiracy theories, and I am not sure how to cope with this not-so-brave new world.  It’s tempting to simply stay in bed surrounded by books, disconnect from the rest of the world, and never come out of my cocoon.  In the past, I have mocked people for doing just that, but now … I understand.  When it seems we have absolutely zero control over what is happening in the world, when the minority are paving the way to chaos while the majority sit quietly on the sidelines wringing their hands, I wonder just how much longer this nation can survive.

I did manage to find one sign that there is still a…

Is The ‘Northern Alliance’ Reborn?

In Saner Thought

We all have seen the stories of the collapse of Afghanistan and the horrific chaos that has ensued.

Some have asked just how the collapse of the Afghan army was possible with 20 years of training and equipment and money ($2.3 trillion) spent……the MSM is spending lots of endless hours looking at what went wrong and the crush of people trying to leave the country….but none are asking about the brave  Afghans that will stand up to the Taleban….

Is there anybody that will stand up to the Taleban?

Back in the days of Soviet occupation of Afghanistan there was a small but very successful group that was called the ‘Northern Alliance’.

This is for the youngsters out there that have no damn idea what I am talking about….

Since early 1999, Ahmad Shah Massoud was the only main leader able to defend his territory against the Taliban, and as…

The judge of the town had sent a messenger to invite the Wise man for dinner.

The Wise man told the messenger: “Please thank the judge for his kindness, but it would be impolite for me to leave my guest at home, so I have to refuse.”

The messenger came back after a while and said: “The judge invited your guest as well.”

The Wise man and his guest went to the big mansion of the judge.

CDC: Current Vaccines Effective Against Delta, Just Less So

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

According to the CDC, the current crop of vaccines are 91% effective against the original version of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and are 66% effective against the Delta variant. That said, 66% is better than nothing, and the vaccines do appear to lessen the intensity of illnesses associated with the disease.(1)

The good news is that the companies manufacturing the vaccines are working on booster shots tailored to the Delta variant. Between reports that the effectiveness of vaccinations fades with time and reports that booster shots can dramatically improve the level of antibodies to the virus, this makes the case for booster shots relatively ironclad.

Of course, the massive number of unvaccinated are the breeding ground for new variants. So we are far from done. Keep masking.

Subantarktička ostrva Novog Zelanda – Sub-Antarctic Islands of New Zealand

Myrela

Izvjesni kitolovci iz XIX vijeka, koji su se iskrcali u Oklandskom arhipelagu, dali su, s dobrom dozom humora, jednom od ostrva ime Disappointment (razočaranje). Mora da su pred dolazak na ostrvo bili puni iščekivanja. Poslije silnih mjeseci zlopaćenja na brodu, iskrcavanje na sićušno ostrvo šibano kišom i ledenim vjetrovima nije bilo baš utješno, pa su ga, vjerovatno, užurbano napustili, u nadi da će naći neko pristupačnije. Na toj geografskoj širini to je bilo lakše reći nego uraditi, s obzirom na to da ovih pet subantarktičkih arhipelaga, pod upravom Novog Zelanda, dijele odlike koje ih čine nepogodnim za ljudska naselja, pa čak i ona najprivremenijeg karaktera. Ležeći sa strane jugoistočne obale Novog Zelanda, ove grupe ostrva zauzimaju ukupnu površinu od 764 km². Snerska ostrva i ostrva Baunti načinjena su od sićušnih grupa granitnih i metamorfnih stjenovitih tvorevina bez ikakve prirodne luke. Antipodska, Oklandska i Kembelova ostrva, dalje južno i djelimično pod…

Istorijski centar Sukre, Bolivija – Sucre Historic Center, Bolivia –

Myrela

Šestog avgusta 1825. godine, u prostorijama Univerziteta San Fransisko Havijer, proglašena je Republika Čarkas, koja je od tog trenutka postala poznata kao Bolivija, u čast arhitekte oslobođenja zemlje i junaka Latinske Amerike, Simona Bolivara. Pet dana kasnije, u istim prostorijama, prijestonica nove zemlje bila je preimenovana u Sukre. Kasa de la Libertad (savremeni naziv Univerziteta) impresivno je zdanje. Podigla ga je prije 1700. godine Družba Isusova kao misionarsko sjedište, oko širokog manastirskog dvorišta. Ipak, od proglašenja nezavisnosti 1898. godine, građevina je bila sjedište bolivijskog Kongresa (Congreso Boliviano), zakonodavnog tijela zemlje.

Sukre je poznat i kao “grad sa četiri imena”. Pored današnjeg, nazivan je i Sjudad Blanka, zbog bjeline svojih zdanja zatim Čarkas, po imenu domorodačkog naroda koji je naseljavao tu oblast, i La Plata, kako ga je 30. novembra 1538. godine (datum osnivanja) nazvao Pedro de Anzures, markiz iz Kampo Redonda i predvodnik vojske Gonzola Pizara. Grad –…
