Donald Trump |
A remarkable
persistence. Not being let down by the electoral fraud
in 2020, he won the elections in 2024. All the insults
ignored. The assassination attempts. The fake court
cases. The slander. Giving hope for the citizens of
the USA.

Fyodor Dostoyevski Book |
The Kybalion. Three Initiates |
It is a description of the
oldest philosophy in the world. Long before all
religions on our planet. It describes all the
planes of existence and thinking. As an example,
it explains here how many people are simply
following orders and that makes them unbalanced
people. Do you not think this text (written in the
19th century) somehow maps very well to our modern
society?

Nobody. Ronnie O'Sullivan is retired (?), Novak Djokovic is retiring (?). The best we can do it Max Verstappen for his epic results in Formula 1. Yet, he won the prestigious prize already. We have have Lionel Messi refusing the Medal Of Freedom from (dictator) Biden. Epic, but not a sports achievement. We have the epic second place at the Olympics, also not a sports achievement. We must conclude that, after science, also sports is dead! Unfortunately, money and (neo-fascist) politics is what rules in sports. However, "Sport om den broode is geen sport" (sports for money is no sports). ![]() |

The European Union | Well, it is more like an oeuvre award: In its mission statement the EU claims to defend "democracy" as its "core values", yet everywhere it prohibits democracy to take root. They blocked the independence movement of Catalunya (that was forced to stick to fascist Madrid). They interfered in the elections in Kiev, ousting a democratically-elected president. They sanctioned Hungary, to make democratically-elected Orbán step back in line. They threatened Fico in Slovakia with his life. They ignored referendums (the-mother-of-all democratic tools) in France, Ireland, Netherlands about the European constitution. And, as the latest act, they actually cancelled the elections in Romania when the Romanians voted the wrong way, by concocting some BS story about Russian interference. Well done, Brussels, well done. Never was a chutzpah reward more deserved! ![]() |

Netanyahu |
Claiming to be a victim while carpet
bombing and genociding his enemy! Linked: Israeli newspaper Haaretz: "Netanyahu, Alone, Is the Source of Evil". (I cannot read the full document, but I go for the title. Netanyahu is a classical psychopath, as described by Andrzej Lobaczewski in his must-read book "Political Ponerology"). This decision was difficult. So many contenders this year. Like - The regime in Washington. "Saving democracy" by removing unwanted opposition from the ballots. - Donald Tusk: to "remove state inference in the media", removing media leaders and replace them with state puppets. What tipped the balance in Netanyahu's favor is that this conflict will have severe implications (more than the sock-puppets in Washington) and moreover, 'chutzpah' is a Yiddish word, giving it an ironic character. |

Most politicians, media, socialites,

other how virtuous they are, one trying to outdo the
other. For instance in Trump bashing, always saying what

irrelevant; it is about signaling to the others how good
