Studio Dance - des danseurs et danseuses de ballet par Thomas Mohr

[alanshemper]

24 November 2023

Ah, our friend Rami Shmuel has popped up again to do some serious PR for Bibi.

I think we should not be dealing with politics now, I think there was a big underlying error in analyzing the information about the attack from Hamas on October 7th by the Israeli government and Israeli Defense Force, but I think right now Israel is in the middle of war and this is not the time to deal with politics.

Full transcript below the cut.

Rami Shmuel, an organizer of the Nova Music Festival that was attacked by Hamas terrorists on October 7th, speaks with PULS 24 Anchor Thomas Mohr about what he has witnessed on this very day and why he believes, that there will be times when "we're going to dance again".

Thomas Mohr: Starting today, up to 50 hostages out of 240 in custody are being released. Do you have information about who the people are, that finally can be handed over to their loved ones? Forty hostages have been taken alone from the music festival area.

Rami Shmuel: I know who’s going to be released today are only little babies, children and a couple of women. Maybe also some Thai workers, that were working on the fields. This is all I know about the civilians and the hostages that are going to be released in the next hours. [How does he know this?]

The festival area is, of course, the largest crime scene in Israel's history. Bodies of more than 360 young people, guests, personnel - all gathered for a peaceful and joyful day - were found dead. Many got raped, shot, slaughtered on their escape, running for their lives, and some could hide for hours and uncertain if they ever would survive that horror. You have been on the premises until minutes before the attack and then returned afterward. What did you witness when you arrived again at the festival area?

When I arrived back to the festival area, I saw an unforgivable sin. Human bodies all over the place, on the ground, on the field. Naked women, butchered, slaughtered, executed. Young people, that had their head cut off. Burned up, like a torch – like garbage. Women that have been abused by monsters. I saw burned up cars with people inside. Safe zones, that turned out to be a death zone. After these monsters showed up, everybody that tried to escape from this safe zone got shot immediately.

They came with one purpose and one purpose only: to butcher and to kill. To kidnap, to rape, to humiliate young people whose only crime was, that they wanted to dance and to be happy for a couple of hours. What my eyes saw, the whole world should know. The whole world should be shocked by this act of terror by the Hamas organization. There were hundreds of bodies, you know we searched the ground for around thirteen days after the first attack on October 7th until we manage to bring back as many as we found - of our friends, colleagues and the audience.

Mr Shmuel, did you or do you personally know victims of that horrific attack?

There were friends of mine, festival security guards that have been working with us for years, DJs and audience members from all over Israel.

You know, this act of terror caught us off guard. Nobody could expect that there are monsters living among us that would kidnap little babies, the elderly, women... To negotiate a release of these monsters that took lives is unbelievable. The world should stand united with Israel against those monsters because this is not only our fight. The world should know that. And the world should realize that these monsters should not exist anymore. Because on October 7th, Israel took the attack. But let's go back in history. What happened in the other parts of the world? The United States took a horrible attack by a terrorist organization on September 11th with the twin towers. History teaches us, this kind of organization, this terror of radical Islam, should not have a place between us, and we should hunt them down.

After October 7th, Israel is conducting a large scale offensive to destroy Hamas. And since then, Israel is criticized for the deaths of many thousands of civilians in the Gaza Strip. Is this criticism in your eyes valid? Given the huge number of civilian Palestinian casualties there?

No, I tell you one thing: I don’t think there is any army more humane than the Israeli Defense Force. Hamas is targeting its own people by taking them and making them a human shield. Even if though we are at war, still, the Israeli government is sending them supplies and making a humane effort to help them. And making the humanitarian effort to help the civilians, warning them to clear an area that is going to be attacked. And what Hamas is doing is standing between the civilians that want to escape from the area that Israel is attacking now. When civilians tried to escape from the North to the South, as the Israeli government asked the civilians of Gaza to do, the Hamas organization hunted them down and painted them as victims of the Israeli Defense Force.

Mr. Shmuel, what is the political situation in Israel right now? Benjamin Netanyahu has been under political pressure before. Right now, he is prime minister of a joint war cabinet including the opposition. Is the pressure on Netanyahu growing, what is your assessment?

The civilians will not forget October 7th. And we will come demanding answers from everybody, including our Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. I think we should now let go of politics and give them courage and support to win this war, to provide the citizens with what we need and what we want.

I think we should not be dealing with politics now, I think there was a big underlying error in analyzing the information about the attack from Hamas on October 7th by the Israeli government and Israeli Defense Force, but I think right now Israel is in the middle of war and this is not the time to deal with politics.

Will there ever be a new, a joyful, a fantastic music festival like it was before October 7th?

I want to believe that what Hamas did on October 7th is only making us stronger, only unites us, and only motivates us to do bigger festivals, bigger shows – we’re going to dance again, nobody can stop that, not even Hamas. And I think the main cause is to bring back all the hostages, all the civilians, all the soldiers that Hamas kidnapped from Israel. And I think after that and after the return of our kidnapped, Hamas will realize that they deal with the wrong people.

Eine Brandmauer zwischen der AfD und der CDU in Thüringen hat es niemals gegeben. Die Feuerwehr war in Berlin und hieß Angela Merkel. Von ihr kamen die Anweisungen, sowohl die zwischen Mohring und Höcke 2014 geplante Koalition abzublasen als auch, den mit Wissen von Lindner und Kubicki 2019 durch CDU, AfD und FDP zum Ministerpräsidenten gewählten FDP-Landesvorsitzenden Thomas Kemmerich zum sofortigen Rücktritt zu bewegen.

Merkel ist weg und die Koalition CDU / AfD / (FDP)* ist für 2024 klar erkennbar.

My 2022 in Books

This year I read 78 books which is a step down from the last few years (all 100+) but I'm trying to read in a more purposeful, slow way, trying to savor and absorb what I read, which is definitely a challenge since I've always been a very speedy reader.

There's a complete list below the cut of all the books, but here were my absolute favorites of this year:

The Storyteller - Dave Grohl (I'm not an audiobook person but it was such an experience listening to him read this)

The Essex Serpent - Sarah Perry

Book of Night - Holly Black

The Key to Deceit - Ashley Weaver

Reading Lolita in Tehran - Azar Nafisi

The Bear and the Nightingale - Katherine Arden

Depois de conquistar o primeiro ponto na tabela de classificação da Superliga Cimed 2018/2019 em grande partida diante do Barueri, a delegação do Vôlei Balneário Camboriú já está na capital federal para o jogo contra Brasília, nesta sexta-feira (30), às 20h, no Ginásio Sesi Taguatinga. O confronto, válido pela 5ª rodada, é direto, visto que a equipe do Centro-Oeste tem a mesma pontuação atualmente. Melhor sacadora pela média de sets até agora da competição, a ponteira Paula Mohr valoriza a evolução da equipe e busca manter essa postura em quadra. “O time está em momento crescente. Percebemos isso nitidamente jogando de igual para igual contra um grande adversário que foi o Barueri. Sabemos o quanto o jogo diante do time de Brasília é importante e teremos que dar nosso máximo em quadra, jogar bem taticamente, para assim sairmos com a vitória. Um bom saque é fundamental para que possamos imprimir nossa tática. Um saque ofensivo no lugar certo, muitas vezes facilita nosso sistema defensivo para marcar as jogadoras adversárias. E quando vem o ‘ace’ melhor ainda”, afirmou a número 12. No começo do projeto, o técnico Mauricio Thomas salientou a importância do ritmo de jogo para o melhor desempenho das atletas, visto que ao longo da preparação foram apenas três amistosos. Na véspera do quinto compromisso, o comandante avalia o crescimento em quadra e espera que a boa apresentação da terça-feira (27) seja repetida em Brasília. “A evolução do time no último jogo foi demonstrada e acreditávamos que isso aconteceria na sequência do campeonato. Conseguimos jogar de igual para igual contra um dos favoritos à Superliga, um time que tem um alto investimento em relação ao nosso e mostramos que podemos crescer na Superliga e esperamos isso. Fizemos uma partida muito ruim contra o Curitiba fora de casa e esperamos evoluir longe de nossos domínios, porque é muito importante buscar esses pontos na casa do adversário. Então pretendemos manter o foco no crescimento e o que foi conquistado na última partida para evoluir nos fundamentos que não foram tão bons e buscar a primeira vitória na competição”, garantiu o treinador. O Vôlei Balneário Camboriú é o único representante de Santa Catarina na elite do voleibol nacional e tem patrocínio da Embraed, apoio da Academia Wave e da Unimed e como fornecedor de material esportivo a Legrieg. Os ingressos para o jogo diante do Osasco/Audax, no Barra Multieventos, no dia sete de dezembro, já estão à venda através do link https://www.sympla.com.br/volei-balneario-camboriu-x-osascoaudax__415454.

Soggy reads: Debes, Martin - Demokratie unter Schock (2021)

Subtitle: 'How the "Alternative for Germany" elected a Prime Minister'

"The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand."

tl;dr: Local journalist Martin Debes describes en detail the 2019/2020 government formation crisis in the small east German state of Thüringen.

Weimar, Thüringen has the dubious honor of being at once the cradle of German democracy and an incubator of German fascism. Debes is at pains to stress the historical dimension of the crisis. Its protagonists seem aware of this history, sometimes more so, sometimes less so, but either way, powerless to stop themselves from stumbling back into it face forward almost a century later.

The French expression cordon sanitaire in a political context describes a taboo on cooperation with certain groups or parties. In Europe, this is commonly understood to mean a policy of not working together with far-right parties. Germany, however, is special in operating not one, but two cordons: One warding off the far-right and one warding off the far-left.

On its face, the reason for this is that the socialist Linke, formerly the Party of Democratic Socialism, is in some sense the successor of East Germany's ruling Socialist Unity Party. If you ask me, it has more to do with the fact that the people most vehemently trying to uphold this particular cordon, the leaders of the Christian Union parties, knew that at least for a while there was no structural majority to be found right-of-center and they had to coax the Social Democrats into self-sabotaging to not get stuck in the political wilderness for a generation. The Social Democrats obliged. That the character of die Linke was amply changed by the fusion with the rebellious left wing of West German social democracy after Schröder imported the policy of workfare and expansionary tax cuts from the Anglosphere in the early 2000s goes politely ignored to this day.

It's the policy of two "No"s that plunges first Thüringen and then all Germany into a political crisis in late 2019. When an election results in a parliament that can not produce any majority without either the fascist Alternative für Deutschland or die Linke, Thüringen's pig-headed political operators steer the ship of state unto the rocks by "sleepwalking" into letting AfD provide the marginal votes necessary for liberal¹ and spoiler candidate Thomas Kemmerich to be elected Prime Minister.

In the weeks that follow, Germany speedruns its way through the Kübler/Ross model attempting to put the genie back in the bottle. The result was what the basic political conventions of the Federal Republic ought to have made the only logical conclusion in the first place: Die Linke ended up the largest party, so it gets to try to form a government and provide a Prime Minister.

It doesn't help that at least some of the protagonists of this story were essentially too stupid, venal and or egomaniacal to simply let this happen. Another thing Debes is at pains to stress is just how small Thüringen's political class is: A few dozen people out of 1.8 million who tend to go way, way back and get along across party lines fairly decently on account of meeting each other basically everywhere else within the organized social fabric of the region. You get the distinct impression that there actually are more hurt feelings between the local CDU's main actors - Althaus and Lieberknecht, Mohring and Voigt - than there are between everybody else put together. And therein lays at least some of the rub: Easily half of the roughly 250 pages of this volume are spent on Mike Mohring's desperate attempt to escape a car crash unscathed by unbuckling his seat belt in hopes of being thrown clear through the front window. It doesn't work. Of course it doesn't.

The pages of this book are haunted with the premonition that just like it was in the 1920s, Thüringen once again served as the stage for the dress rehearsal for a future, greater political catastrophe. In the end, the impetus for the solution of Thüringen's crisis comes from above, from the federal government, from Angela Merkel, who seeks to protect her cabinet and her "legacy" from dissolution. But Merkel is long gone and Germany will not soon see the likes of her again. What will happen when there is no higher authority to appeal to?

¹That's liberal in the European sense, i.e. a Swiss bank account in a suit posing as a libertarian.
