Will there still be such a thing in the real world? Real resistance? A place or maybe even places that don't play the sick game of the Romans or in our case the WEF?
“The path of least resistance is the path of the loser.” — H. G. Wells
For those who do not know the story of Asterix & Obelix. Here is a video. I think it’s aways good to add some fun stuff!
Minute 2.13 - 4.44 of the video is the essence of the story! But don’t hesitate to watch the whole film, it’s quite entertaining.
The Gauls had a magic potion to defend themselves against the Romans. We don't have a magic potion that makes us strong, but we have enlightened and awake people who don't stop fighting for what is right and good. These people risk literally everything to help bring the truth to light. I am in awe of each and everyone of these brave people. Sometimes all it takes is a small village or a minority that permanently resists, that is not willing to submit, and that fights for the freedom of all.
“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” — George Washington
I will never forget a shop assistant in Munich. I was once again on one of the "walks" in Munich - demonstrations were forbidden at the time - and it was recommended that you buy something so that, in case you were detained or questioned by the police, you could prove that you had a legitimate reason for being in the city (which is a disgrace in itself).
So I went into a shop to buy something and the "walkers" were not to be ignored, making a lot of noise. When I got to the checkout the shop assistant started complaining to me about the noise these "stupid idiots" were making out there.
I was horrified. I put my purchase down, looked at the young woman, and said goodbye with the words, "Those stupid idiots out there are fighting for YOUR freedom, you should be grateful."
She looked at me rather puzzled as I just turned and left. I don't believe I had any impact on this woman, rather I was lumped into the "stupid idiot" category. But maybe she did think about it a little (I am and remain an optimist).
I most certainly don't have to and don't want to missionise anyone. What I would like to do, however, is to encourage people to think, just think for themselves again. You don’t even have to take to the streets but there are always ways to support the truth and our freedom.
If you don't like what I write, that's absolutely ok, just unsubscribe from the newsletter and I won't appear again in your email inbox with my views. But to hide behind anonymous hate mails is pathetic. I will not publish the latest works of my "fan" here (I am guessing it is the same one as before) because I don't want to offer a platform to trolls - once was enough.
“Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.” — Robert Kennedy
If we don’t resist, if we don’t use our voices, we can start looking forward to a world that the brilliant cartoonist Bob Moran shows us so vividly here…

📚My Poem of the Day
Is by Audre Lorde (1934–1992)
A Litany for Survival
For those of us who live at the shoreline standing upon the constant edges of decision crucial and alone for those of us who cannot indulge the passing dreams of choice who love in doorways coming and going in the hours between dawns looking inward and outward at once before and after seeking a now that can breed futures like bread in our children’s mouths so their dreams will not reflect the death of ours; For those of us who were imprinted with fear like a faint line in the center of our foreheads learning to be afraid with our mother’s milk for by this weapon this illusion of some safety to be found the heavy-footed hoped to silence us For all of us this instant and this triumph We were never meant to survive. And when the sun rises we are afraid it might not remain when the sun sets we are afraid it might not rise in the morning when our stomachs are full we are afraid of indigestion when our stomachs are empty we are afraid we may never eat again when we are loved we are afraid love will vanish when we are alone we are afraid love will never return and when we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard nor welcomed but when we are silent we are still afraid So it is better to speak remembering we were never meant to survive.
