12:35 activelow; sankt petersburg www.anti-spiegel.ru down again

12:40 activelow; sigh, back online... probably excess load; it's the last known source of mine translating Kremlin into german language first-hand

12:41 activelow; which is the irony, navigating to Russia is necessary to receive some credible facts, such as the operational status of pipelines

12:42 activelow; reporting in german newspapers and tv is mostly rubbish, appeal to emotion media spectacle

12:50 activelow; https://www.dw.com/en/germanys-gerhard-schr%C3%B6der-meets-with-vladimir-putin-over-ukraine-reports/a-61093927

12:50 -TechPolBot/#techpol-Germanys Gerhard Schrder meets with Vladimir Putin over Ukraine reports | Germany | News and in-depth reporting from Berlin and beyond | DW | 11.03.2022

12:51 activelow; "close relationship for more than two decades" is an understatement to say the least

12:52 activelow; meaning if, if current German government had wanted to prevent or stop this conflict, there hadn't been any to begin with

12:54 activelow; i think, USA/NATO/EU fiddling into internal affairs of russian military in crimea to cut-off the russian navy from mediterrenean sea, this was to much gambling with russian security interests

12:55 activelow; then next subverting the northstream1/2 projects was the final phase of escalation... i mean imagine if Germany was cut-off from energy supply

12:55 activelow; greenwashing, this had not been a "communication strategy" concern anymore, and it isn't

12:55 activelow; *too much

1 PM, March 11

13:02 activelow; and USA/NATO/EU too missed all chances to prevent or stop this conflict, although they could have

13:03 *rianne_ has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)

13:03 *rianne_ (~rianne@pumv3cb2rfinu.irc) has joined #techpol

13:03 activelow; because the key to de-escalation wasn't sanctions, it was the recognition of Russian argument and their security concerns

13:05 activelow; meanwhile, Swiss banks prepared to re-align their actions, which I am not sure yet how this will affect Euro currency at stake

13:06 activelow; slightly off-topic, i still think the EWS1 Euro system had some benefits over the current one in place

13:13 activelow; yesterday there was rumors above noise floor, some banks could default, russian banks they said

13:17 activelow; alot of the current reporting of "news" aren't any, it's a retrospect of hostility of the last decades... here we go

13:17 activelow; "german ministry of culture and arts" proposed to "terminate all cooperation of russian and german universities"

13:17 activelow; double-think, double-talk... since i couldn't consider any such cooperation existed, with me

13:18 activelow; remembering the stack of documents i had send to offices across entire germany in the last 15 years... there isn't anything remaining to terminate, with me at least

13:21 activelow; "german tv ARD and ZDF re-instate their reporting from russia/moscow" ... couldn't remember any credible reporting existed in the last decades

13:25 activelow; meanwhile the Kings and Queens of "EU" meet in Versaille, and discuss Euro financing

3 PM, March 11

15:35 activelow; "'EU' seeks to provide further military equipment to Ukraine, for 500million cash"

15:35 activelow; another sideline of this story, is foreign-agents inside current german government, mostly "Alliance90/greens"

15:36 activelow; because Ukraine is a producer of corn and maize ... guess who introduced "BIO" fuels, to fill Mercedes cars with? Oezdemir Cem.

15:37 activelow; another planned power-grab of this clique in Belarus (White Russia, Weissrussland) failed some weeks ago

15:37 activelow; Belarus is a leading producer of Farming equipment, potatoes, etc

15:38 activelow; recently, the "organic" ("bio") food prices skyrocket +20% instantly, because Ukraine was provider of "organic" wheat

15:38 activelow; kosher and halal food of theirs to the moon

15:39 activelow; Oezdemir, Atlantic Bridge war criminal, besides Roettgen, and who knows who else were involved, with this strategy

15:39 activelow; "social ecological" to fuel luxury cars from Mercedes Benz with E10 fuel

15:41 activelow; the "green new deal"

15:44 *psydroid2 (~psydroid@memzbmehf99re.irc) has joined #techpol

15:47 activelow; those "eco activists" funneld billions (US trillions) into their pockets, for the "social ecological justice" of theirs, the land and power grab into east-germany included

15:48 activelow; burning brown coal, to electrify their the luxury cars of theirs, the last forsts cut down

15:48 activelow; wood pellets since recently, were classified as "ecological" too, for heating

15:48 activelow; it wasn't enough, next on their list of "shareholder value" Belarus and Ukraine

15:49 activelow; to bring "democracy"

15:51 activelow; Friedrich Merz, Blackrock Capital CEO... Northrhine Westphalia, federal elections ahaed... they're the most excessive consumers in Europe

15:51 activelow; another buddy, from the gang of Atlantic Bridge war criminals

15:52 activelow; as far as i am concerned, the entire "german" party politics is rigged, foreign agents

15:52 activelow; most of public media and reporting is controlled by them, industry CEOs, bureaucratic apparatues, everything hijacked systematically after 1990

15:53 activelow; that's the confusing aspect, the shake-hands of Putin/Russia with the western war criminal gang

15:57 activelow; Burisma Biddler: "'the world' must unite for peace"

4 PM, March 11

16:01 activelow; Baerbock (another such war criminal gang minion): "in Ukraine our 'European Values' are at stake", which are? BIO E10 fuel and coal to power their vehicles with, and oranic kosher meat served.

18:31 activelow; it's not at least possible to verify what caused the explosions in Ukraine, given little is known about the energy distribution grid there

18:33 activelow; preceeding recent escalation the Russian proposal was Ukraine may choose to pay EU energy "market" price for natural gas

18:34 activelow; which i roughly estimate as 10x the usual friendship price, if the numbers i read are correct, 20Euro/MWh for gas power plant operators, and 200Euro/MWh in EU instead

18:36 activelow; another documentary mentioned the Zelensky bitcoin clique had no cash remaining

18:37 activelow; since the banking system was locked down, this could have prevented both: (illegal) weapons trade to "provide lethal aid to Ukraine" (RAND Corp. USA), and cut-off energy "re-selling"/gambling

18:39 activelow; and it wasn't known which and how many "Oligarch" had benefit, where they hoarded their cash abroad

18:39 activelow; similar stories were reported about Iran, where the electricity grid was de-stabilized by bitcoin "mining"
