Órdago de China y Rusia a EEUU
https://as.com/actualidad/ordago-de-china-y-rusia-a-eeuu-n/?outputType=amp

El suministro de gas ruso a China se liquidará en las monedas nacionales de ambos países, rublos y yuanes, y no en dólares estadounidenses.

¿Qué van a hacer? ¿Una primavera rusa, una ensalada rusa, un rollito de primavera?

Nosotros tenemos la fuerza de la economía y de la razón lógica.  Ellos tienen la de  los sentimientos.

Ellos tienen sentimientos, y un régimen corrupto los manipula para auto-perpetuarse y seguir manteniéndoles en la miseria económica y cultural.

Los sentimientos pueden encauzarse hacia el amor y el arte o hacia el odio y la crueldad.

Pues con los sentimientos van a morir.  De esta no sobrevive la Federación Rusa en su configuración actual.

Y aquí abundan los peluches que se dejan agarrar y estrujar hasta que les arrancan la cabeza.

Sobre la supervivencia de la Federación Rusa son conscientes de ello desde 1918 https://youtu.be/MOkl2XgZlw0?t=276

En rublos de mierda.





Pero a ver, alma de cántaro... ¿Tu que prefiers rublos de mierda o moneda fuerte?

Pide que te paguen en "patacones"... o en mortadelos. (Lo que hay que leer.)

La moneda será muy fuerte y todo lo que tú quieras pero ni te va a quitar el frío ni cubrir las necesidades de la industria y el transporte ni va a saciar tu estómago.

En occidente parece que se ha invertido la pirámide de Maslow al mismo tiempo que la de población.

Es que algunos creen que el tipo de cambio monetario está por encima de las leyes de la termodinámica.

EEUU quiere partir a Rusia en trozos fácilmente manejables desde siempre. Por lo menos desde el siglo XIX.
Inglaterra, a través de la doctrina Mackinder (1861-1947) tiene igualmente como prioridad existencial el mismo objetivo reforzado doblemente tras WW2 para evitar cualquier forma de acercamiento Alemania-Rusia o, hoy día, EU-Rusia.

Ambos van ganando, se han consolidado como bloque Anglo con el Brexit mientras la colonia continental que es la UE, pierde-perdemos de modo clamoroso e impotente.  Solo hay que ver cómo corremos como pollos descabezados tratando de ocultar nuestra responsabilidad en lo que está sucediendo y estamos pagando, según Javier Solana, con un coste más de tres veces el de Rusia.
A veces hay que decir lo que se piensa y asumir los riesgos de plantarse. Por lo visto esto es mucho pedir a quienes nos gobiernan.

Rusia es más vieja que la mayor parte de las naciones Europeas y, si me apuran, que los mismos EEUU. Y, con sus graves problemas que no son pocos, lo que han demostrado sobradamente es que no son tontos,  ni irreflexivos ni dotados de élites tan incultas como las que hoy gobiernan Occidente.
Además, a nuestros ojos, parecen una anomalía: son patriotas. Tienen memoria y su población es, --inaudito, ¿no?--, algo más culta que la nuestra y lo demuestra el video bien traído por Torre01 al final de su post de la página 161 aquí  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOkl2XgZlw0&t=276s.
Pediría a quienes discrepen, si alguno hubiere que lo dudo por el nivel del foro, que expliquen qué no es cierto del guión de dicho video y de otros que  exponen la vergonzante política de la UE. Parece que a nuestras élites les conviene la inflación que atizan siempre que pueden.  Busco un ejemplo de lo contrario y no lo encuentro.
Siempre que pueden buscan escasez, encarecimiento, control de la población y recaudación.

En Occidente circulan muchos videos rigurosos y bien documentados que explican por qué la mayor parte de la población mundial no está del lado de Occidente. Hemos visto los de Zorrilla, Poch y muchos otros en otras lenguas. Rigurosos, con datos ciertos, escasos de emociones. Hasta Kissinger nos advirtió de no hacerlo.

Por otra parte los EEUU seguirán su papel imperial muchos años y lo más difícil que viviremos mosotros, nuestros hijos y nietos,  será esperar rezando angustiados que sus élites no caigan en la tentación, ya explicitada por algunos grupos de  poder occidental, de barrer del mapa a entre 3 y 6,000 millones de personas para acceder, como piensan los maltusianos de dicha élite, a unos 300 o 500 años de paz y prosperidad en un "mundo nuevo".

Si la cuestión se circunscribe a Rusia, no les vale la pena. Demasiada poca población y excesivo riesgo doméstico porque la UE importa relativamente poco. En el fondo para el imperio es una cabeza de puente con cientos de bases muy importantes, un teatro de operaciones y poco más.

Por tanto lo que se busca es que mueran muchos rusos en Ucrania junto con soldados ucranianos de los que "podemos prescindir" como carne de cañón.

Esto no viene de ahora, viene de actos concretos desde los años 90. Cuando Bush padre dijo: "We prevailed" y por tanto no tenemos que cumplir lo prometido. Estilazo moral que hoy paga Europa. Nosotros... y para largo.

Tras la burbuja de la deuda estudiantil y la de la vivienda, en los  USA también está en plena expansión  la burbuja de la construcción de refugios nucleares particulares para garantizar la supervivencia de los muy pudientes.
Las élites imperiales ya están muy bien cubiertas y saben que, si algo demostraron Hiroshima Y Nagasaki, la huella de explosiones nucleares muere pronto y que en muy pocos años hasta esas ciudades se reconstruyen sin dejar otras huellas que las deseadas para no olvidar.

Sobre la cuestión de lo nuclear parece bien ocumentado que el gas, de cualquier tipo, ya ha producido muchísimos más muertos que los poquísimos que ha producido la nuclear. O el carbón. Hay algo supersticioso o, peor, ideológico, que busca aquello de cuanto peor, mejor.

Recordarán ustedes que lo que hace Francia en lo nuclear  es exactamente lo recomendado por  James Lovelock --padre de la ecología moderna-- antes de que, por decir que el futuro debería incluir el desarrollo nuclear, pasase a ser excomulgado La Escasez buscada como arma de control político y de modus vivendi para ciertos lobbies "ecofriendly".

Por otra parte, la construción de grandes centrales responde a la lógica de generación centralizada --otra forma de control por el poder-- que en su tiempo tuvo sentido porque las tecnologías disponibles (hidroeléctrica, o centrales térmicas, por ejemplo) eran las que eran y resultaba más eficiente con centrales ligadas a centros de consumo cercanos. Este ya no es el caso. Ni para las renovables ni para la nuclear. La descentralización es lógica

Por ejemplo: los grandes rompehielos son nucleares y tienen una potencia, con una o dos centrales en el barco, suficiente para poblaciones de entre 150 y 250,000 personas. Los grandes portaviones algo por el estilo.
Esto es lo que tiene sentido y puede hacerse en mucho menos tiempo de lo que ha llevado construir el mayor rompehielos del mundo, el Ártika si no recuerdo mal.  Unos tres o cuatro años. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arktika_(2016_icebreaker)

Si le sumamos otras fuentes de energía, de las muchas que hay, concluiremos que ..tenemos problemas porque interesa. No por otra razón.

Como siempre en la historia humana hay soluciones si lo que se busca es resolver problemas de la gente y se respeta mínimamente su libertad. 
Algo que a estas alturas ya sabemos que nuestras élites no hacen y si por casualidad lo hicieren, será tras resolver sus problemas y siempre de modo que paguemos lo más posible por ello.

Saludos y ánimo.

Putin no va a sacar nada. Lo va a perder todo.

Mira, ahí apuntas bien. Que yo no trague con lo que está haciendo Putin y su camarilla no significa que lo haga con los planes de Occidente (Anglos, algo de germano y francés y relleno sin voz ni voto y cada vez con menos oficio o beneficio). Escrito con mayúscula, como ya has apuntado. 

Free Nations of Russia Forum

1st Forum
The first forum was scheduled for Victory in Europe Day and was held on May 8-9, 2022 in Warsaw with the support of the Polish Fundacja Solidarności Dziennikarskiej (Journalists' Solidarity Foundation).[2][3] The forum consisted of four discussion panels: de-imperialization, demilitarization, de-Putinization and the economic future of Russia. The conference was attended by activists of the Russian opposition who emigrated from Russia, as well as politicians and experts from Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, Belarus and the United States: former State Duma deputy Ilya Ponomarev, Dzhambulat Suleymanov (Ichkeria), brothers Rafis and Nafis Kashapovs (Free Idel-Ural), Pavel Sulyandziga (International Committee of Indigenous Peoples of Russia), Anatoly Polyakov, Konstantin Eremenko, Vadim Petrov (Baltic Republican Party), Ruslan Gabbasov (Bashkir National Political Center), Evgeny Mitrofanov (Siberia), former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin, Acting US Secretary of Defense in 2020-2021 General Christopher C. Miller, MEP and ex-Foreign Minister of Poland Anna Fotyga, Pavel Latushko, Taras Stetskiv, Chairman of the Lithuanian Institute of Russian Regions Andrius Almanis. As well as journalists: Krzysztof Sworofsky, Maria Przelomec, Mariusz Pilis, Mariusz Marszewski.[2]...

Como lo saben en tantos otros lugares o se lo empiezan a oler: la Nación Mapuche y su sede en Bristol o la versión china de la "cárcel de pueblos" que ya suena y que nos resulta familiar por aquí...

Si es que la narrativa del Free Nations Forum tambien es aplicable a "lo nuestro":

FREE NATIONS OF SPAIN FORUM
https://freenationsrf.org/en.html

The well-being, prosperity and future of 47 million people living in Spain are falling down about our ears. Such are the results of the actions of Mierdrid big-league and oligarchs who have deep ties to the Moncloa. The current regime has built an authoritarian system with a prosperous Mierdrid, which siphons resources from subordinate «colonies» and requires the expansion of the «food base». The irrepressible appetites and aggressive policies of Mierdrid have already led to the largest war in Spain since WW2, and the situation is deteriorating uncontrollably. The peoples’ fates are under threat, not only in Spain, but in the whole world.

It's time to turn the ship around. Today, both Spain regions’ natural resources and perspiration and inspiration of people on a vast territory serve the interests of Mierdrid. But the Nations of Spain have the rights for self-determination and for worthy future for themselves, their children and grandchildren. People should manage their lives by themselves and find their place in the international community.

Free Nations of Spain Forum is a platform for bringing together municipal and regional leaders, members of the opposition movements of spain, representatives of national movements, activists, the expert community, and everyone who is aware of the need for an immediate transformation of Spain. We discuss ways for structural changes in society, develop a plan of specific actions, concentrate resources and coordinate efforts for maximum efficiency in achieving our goals.




Y solo he tenido que sustituir Moscú y Putin por Mierdrid, y Rusia por Spain, y el resto ha salido solo.

(Me parto con los polacos. Se creen que por ir detrás a los americanos, se han envalentonado y se han echado al monte. Los americanos van a resistir primero hasta el último ucraniano, despues hasta el último polaco y al final hasta el último europeo. Total, a los americanos les importa una mierda todo lo que pase fuera de América. Si ganan van a robar todo lo que puedan, y si pierden, pues solo les ha costado dinero. El grito de esta guerra debería ser: !!!Fuck the European Union!!!, mientras las hordas europeas se lanzan contran los tanques rusos, y dentro de muy poco, contra los tanques chinos)

‘Emotionally Paralyzed’ New York Home Buyers Are Backing Out of Contracts

The Sutton Place one-bedroom was unusually large — really the size of most two-bedrooms — with a 22-foot-long living room and multiple walk-in closets. It was well-priced, too, at $649,000. And just as Brown Harris Stevens listing broker Amelia Gewirtz had expected, it generated a flurry of interest when it came on the market this spring. But five offers and five months later, the apartment has yet to go into contract. “I’ve had three contracts out in the last 45 days, but nothing signed,” Gewirtz laments. “They literally had pen to paper and freaked out at the 11th hour. They couldn’t do it.”

“It’s in this beautiful, serene neighborhood, an incredible value, and the buyers, they’re just, well, emotionally paralyzed is the lingo that’s been going around,” she adds. She has been commiserating with colleagues about the phenomenon of buyers balking and backing out of deals after contracts have been sent out or, in some cases, even after signing them.

While properties continue to sell, it’s clear the frenzied market of the past few years, with buyers making all-cash over-ask offers and waiving contingencies like home inspections, is over. Rising interest rates, stock-market volatility, and general unease have made more buyers wary, leading to an uptick in the number of deals falling through. Home-sale cancellations nationwide have been happening at the highest percentage on record with the exception of March and April 2020 (the first two months of the pandemic), with 63,000, or 16 percent of all sales, canceled in July, according to an analysis by Redfin. That’s slightly higher than in the previous month, though New York had one of the lower cancellation rates in the country — 7.1 percent, up from 6.8 percent in June — likely due to the fact that buying in the city is largely a wealthy person’s game and almost half of all Manhattan sales are all-cash purchases.

While most buyers back out of deals between an accepted offer and the contract signing — the buyer can keep the deposit if not, though usually some kind of compromise is worked out — one broker says she’s working with clients whose buyer had used the 30-day-closing clause in the contract as a pretext to get out of the deal. Never in her career had she seen a deal close in 30 days and the buyers call off the deal two days after the window passed and while the application was with the co-op board. (The clients had a different broker at the time and decided to let the buyers off the hook because they were concerned about litigation holding up the sale.)

“People are reticent. The current conditions have removed the sense of urgency,” says Frances Katzen, a broker at Douglas Elliman. She had a recent sale fall through after the would-be buyers had the buyers of their apartment back out because of the interest-rate hike.

“The contract was almost complete — they’d completed their due diligence, everyone was stoked, clapping and high-fiving,” says Katzen. “But they were making an upgrade, and they needed to sell their apartment to space the gap. It was the domino effect. Once their buyer fell through, it threw the whole thing off.”

Brokers say most buyers who have backed out of contracts were impacted by rising interest rates. A rate isn’t locked until the contract is signed, and it can be months between when an offer is made and the contract is complete; during that time, interest rates can fluctuate considerably. In recent months, they did: The interest rate for an average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was 3.79 percent in January, but as of the end of August, it has climbed to 5.88 percent. “Where I’ve been seeing this happen is with first-time homebuyers who need a mortgage and their job to pay their bills. A lot of buyers in the under $700,000 price range are already stretching,” says Gewirtz. Most New York buyers in that range are buying in co-ops, which have more stringent requirements than banks, making the interest-rate hike even more consequential. Co-op boards generally don’t want buyers to have debt-to-income ratios over 30 percent; some set the number even lower.

Michael Holt, a Compass agent, was working with first-time buyers who, after losing multiple bidding wars, were thrilled to have their offer accepted for a $1.5 million two-bedroom co-op on the Upper East Side. “When they started looking at apartments, interest rates were at 3 percent. The numbers were tight, but it was going to work. The apartment was a good deal, we negotiated well, and the board was okay with it,” says Holt. “But then interest rates shot up and so did their debt-to-income ratio and the monthly carrying costs; the buyers simply couldn’t afford the apartment anymore.”

“They’re taking a pause. A lot of buyers want to see how their buying power is impacted,” he adds. And “a one percent interest-rate change can mean a different category of apartment” — whether the buyer can afford a one-bedroom versus a studio, or a renovated place versus an unrenovated one — says Gewirtz, who nonetheless recommends buyers get into the market as soon as they can, instead of getting hung up on “what their friends got last year.”

Even some cash buyers have been spooked by the cooling market. Kimberly Jay, a Compass broker, was working with all-cash buyers looking for an apartment in the $5 million range. They fell in love with a prewar apartment in the Village and ended up in a bidding war. “I wasn’t surprised. It was a beautiful apartment — a three-bed plus an office, prewar, totally gut renovated but not in an Über-contemporary way. We hadn’t seen anything like it.”

Jay’s clients put in an offer $300,000 over the asking price, won the bidding war, and negotiated a deal to buy some of the furnishings along with the apartment. They had already lined up their real-estate lawyer when Jay received an unexpected call: “They said, ‘Now is not the time for us. We’ve been going through this in our minds and feel that now is just not the time to buy.’”

“Sometimes you can feel it, but I didn’t feel it,” Jay says. The buyers cited global uncertainty, the war in Ukraine, inflation, lower Wall Street bonuses, upcoming layoffs, and rising interest rates. Even though they wouldn’t be borrowing money, they felt prices wouldn’t go up for some time. “Just because you have a lot of money doesn’t mean you want to pay top dollar,” Jay explains.

Of course, this isn’t the first time buyers have been skittish. In the first two months of the pandemic, Katzen says she saw buyers backing out of contracts, during the mortgage crisis, “and then again after the sugar high of 2015” when prices topped out and sales cooled. It’s only a matter of time, she thinks, before the brutality of the rental market drives people back into buying: “It seems like doom and gloom now, but there’s going to come a point when the rental market is so insane people are going to feel extorted if they don’t buy.”

Si el precio de la energía forma parte del nuevo modelo, los pisitos tendrán que ceder terreno...

Citi Says High Europe Gas Prices to Stay Until Later in Decade

Europe will have to wait until later this decade before seeing any relief from high natural gas prices, according to Citigroup Inc.

“It will be somewhere between 2025 and 2027 that we’ll see the prices in Europe coming back to where they were at the beginning of 2021,” said Ed Morse, global head of commodities research at Citigroup Inc., in a Bloomberg Television interview. That’s because it’ll take time to replace lost natural gas from Russia. 

Europe is in the grip of its worst energy crisis in 50 years as Russia has slashed gas deliveries in retaliation for sanctions imposed over its invasion of Ukraine. Soaring energy prices have exacerbated the squeeze on consumers and pushed economies to the brink of recession, putting the continent at risk of a deepening crisis as winter approaches.

“It would not be surprising if they turn back the flows on natural gas as we got to the end of the injection season in Europe,” Morse added, referring to Russia, noting that they will soon run out of markets to sell product. “Russia will make a lot of money out of it.”

European gas futures are more than four times the price a year ago, according to ICE data.

Deutsche Bank CEO Sewing Says Germany Heading for Recession

*Christian Sewing says inflation, energy shock to hit growth
*UniCredit CEO sees oncoming recession as being ‘shallow’

Europe’s largest economy is set for contraction on the back of soaring inflation, energy bottlenecks and the disruption to global supply chains, Deutsche Bank AG Chief Executive Officer Christian Sewing warned.

“We will no longer be able to avert a recession in Germany,” Sewing said during a speech in Frankfurt on Wednesday. “We believe that our economy is resilient enough to cope well with this recession -- provided the central banks act quickly and decisively now.”(...)

Developer Sunac China faces winding-up petition in Hong Kong

HONG KONG :A winding-up petition has been filed against cash-strapped property developer Sunac China at the Hong Kong High Court, the judiciary's website showed.

The firm is working to restructure its offshore debt after missing some bond payments earlier this year, adding to a wave of defaults in China's debt-laden property sector.

The petition was made by Chen Huaijun, according to the website, and a hearing will be held on Nov. 16.

Further details about Chen Huaijun were not available and it was not immediately possible for Reuters to make contact in order to obtain comment.

It is the first winding-up petition known to have been filed against Sunac, a top 3 property developer by sales last year.

Sunac said the petition was the "radical behavior" of a single creditor that would not have a material impact on company's operation and debt restructuring.

The company will take all measures to defend itself against the petition, it added.

Judiciary officials could not immediately be reached for comment out of normal office hours.

A few winding-up petitions have been filed against Chinese property developers in Hong Kong, including China Evergrande Group.

This week, Hong Kong's High Court approved an application by Evergrande and its major offshore credit group to adjourn a winding-up petition filed by an investor against it to Nov. 7 in order to allow it more time to formulate an offshore debt restructuring plan.

Si estos elementos van a ser los heroes de la verdadera situación de las libertades en Occidente ... 

A Enoch Burke le han mandado a la cárcel por desacato al tribunal después de violar una orden del Tribunal Superior que le prohibía asistir a la escuela, después de haber estado acosando, molestando y incordiando al personal docente de la Wilson's Hospital School; y no por negarse a tratar con respeto a un transgender student , el respeto que todos merecemos, aunque sus decisiones y forma de vida no nos guste. Si un teacher no es capaz de tratar con respeto a sus student , pues no sirve de teacher.

(A ver si vamos a tener que estar todos bailando al agua que a Enoch Burke y su familia se les pongan ahí abajo)

Burke family (Castlebar)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burke_family_(Castlebar)

Student pronoun dispute (2022)

In June 2022, Enoch Burke was suspended from Wilson's Hospital School, a Church of Ireland co-educational boarding school in County Westmeath at which he was employed as a teacher, and subsequently, on 30 August, the school was granted a High Court interim injunction preventing him from either being on school grounds or teaching classes there for the duration of his suspension.[16][17]

The issue arose when both the school and the parents of a transgender student who wanted to transition requested that their new name and they/them pronouns be used. At a church service attended by staff, clergy, pupils, parents, and board members, Burke interrupted the proceedings by voicing his objections to the school acknowledging the transitioning student, as well as his objections to transgenderism more broadly. After a subsequent meal, Burke pursued the school's principal, repeatedly questioning her on the issue. Having told him that she would address the issue with him at a later date, she then went to walk away from him, but he followed her, continuing to press the issue, until other people present got in his way and prevented him from doing so. As a result of his behaviour at these events, Burke was suspended.[16] Following his suspension, however, Burke continued to arrive at school premises, leading to the school seeking the interim injunction seeking to prevent him from teaching or attending the premises.[16]

On 1 September, it was reported that Burke had allegedly breached the injunction, and that a further court order had been sought by the school, which could result in Burke being jailed for contempt of court unless he agreed to abide by the terms of the interim injunction.[18] Meant to appear before the court on 2 September, Burke failed to present himself and High Court judge Miriam O'Regan granted an order for Burke's arrest as a result of his non-compliance with the injunction.[19] On 5 September, Burke was arrested after arriving at school premises in spite of the injunction. He opposed a motion to have him jailed for contempt of court, but was remanded to Mountjoy Prison.[17][20] On a further appearance before the High Court on 7 September, Burke declined the opportunity to purge his contempt; judge Max Barratt remanded him in custody at Mountjoy Prison for a further week and awarded costs against him.
