So let's go ahead and jump into my week, the workshop topic and my weigh-in. Happy Friday friends. I hope that you had an amazing, amazing week. I had a pretty good week. We had a fantastic time out of town this last weekend with our friends and then when I came back I was feeling a little bit under the weather just extra tired and fatigue and then of course my cycle started which kind of put it all into perspective. That makes a lot more sense why I was so tired and fatigued the couple days leading up to that and then it's just kind of been a rest of the week and how I'm feeling between my cycle and just still not feeling a hundred percent like myself. I also started my thyroid medication on January 10th so I'm getting used to that as well and I'm sure that that plays a part in my hormones and just how my body is feeling overall. So this week has been a little bit more slow going. I decided to go ahead and take the week off from working out mainly because we were out of town over the weekend anyways and as you know or may not know I always work out on my husband's days off which is Thursday, Friday and Saturday and we were gone Friday, Saturday and Sunday so I think that taking the week off of working out was good for me just because my body seems to need a little bit of time to just kind of recover and relax. I'm so go, go, go all the time that I think it may have caught up with me. My food for the week has been fantastic. No complaints there. I'm really enjoying the new way that I'm eating. I've been getting in my water so everything on that front has been really good. I'm just hoping that as I move into my cycle more that my energy will come back so that I can really have a more productive week this next week. But before we jump into my weigh-in I want to talk with you guys a little bit about this week's WW workshop topic and that is how to have an activity routine that actually sticks. Now we all want to work out but putting that want into action can be really difficult. So WW is sharing some steps with us on how to establish a routine that you'll actually stick with long-term. Step number one is decide what activity are you interested in doing or what activity do you think that you can stick with. Think about what activities do you enjoy or maybe what activities that you've enjoyed in the past that maybe you could bring back into your life. When and where are you going to do these activities? When are you going to be able to schedule these into your very busy life? Realistically how often are you going to do these activities? Do you only have 10, 15 minutes maybe 30 minutes a couple times a week to get an activity? Be realistic and remember if you only have five or 10 minutes short bursts count two. Number two is spot potential hurdles. What obstacles do you think could potentially get in the way and how are you going to navigate that? We're all really busy so some of those obstacles may revolve around your work schedule, your kids schedule or maybe your home making schedule as well. If time is an issue you have to pencil activity into your schedule. Pick a day pick a time where you can squeeze in as little as five minutes to an hour of intentional movement every week and also try exercising when you're your most energized self. Now I am very very much a morning person I get a much better workout in the morning that's why you'll find that I go to jazzercise at 8 a.m when I go to classes in the evening I'm just not getting in as good of a workout. If you are the opposite of me and you are not a morning person maybe scheduling your workouts in the evening would be beneficial for you. And number three is practice. Try your routine for a week see how it goes. Track your activity in your WW app in whatever calorie counting app you're using or maybe just write it in your planner. Were you able to finish the activity? Were you consistently doing it and how did it make you feel and then look back and reflect and change it up if necessary. If you need to adjust your plan or maybe the days or times or even the activity by doing it for a solid week you'll have a pretty good indication of whether or not that it's going to work for you. It's no surprise that being active takes a lot of time effort and motivation. It's really good to start small start with baby steps. If you're someone that doesn't exercise at all how about just doing it one day a week for 30 minutes and eventually not only will you build up your endurance but you'll build up your excitement and kind of that drive to get in more activity. You're definitely more likely to stick with your activity if it's something that you enjoy and if it's something that you pencil into your schedule. Now we pencil in doctor's appointments and kids soccer games and appointments to get our hair our nails done schedule in your activity that way you'll be more committed to doing it. And here's a little bit of food for thought for you. Did you know that people who sit less and move more have a better overall weight loss success and more importantly are much more successful maintaining that weight loss? So get up move your body schedule it in find something that works for you and be consistent. So now let's jump into this week's weigh-in. Like I mentioned earlier in the video I started my thyroid medication on January 10th. Now I haven't noticed a huge difference in my fatigue or my energy. Like I mentioned I've been pretty tired this week which is very common for me the week leading up to and during my cycle. So I haven't noticed a lot of differences with the thyroid medication but I still continue to be full and satisfied and really just loving the foods that I'm eating. So that is a huge huge win for me. Speaking of huge wins when I stepped on the scale this week even though I was a couple days into my cycle I am still down an additional 1.2 pounds. That means that I have lost well over a pound for the last five or six weeks I believe which is absolutely amazing. I should be seeing my weight loss kicking up a notch once my thyroid medication gets into my system. The doctor said that can take you know two to three weeks to really get that dosage into my system and hopefully again the fatigue and tiredness goes away a little bit more every single day but I'm thrilled thrilled thrilled with another loss of 1.2 pounds. Now I want to hear from you guys. Let me know how your week was what do you think of this workshop topic about scheduling and making activity something that's realistic and consistent for you and if you're someone who avidly exercises let us know down in the comments what you do that'll give the community some ideas of some different exercises that they can try to implement into their lifestyle see if they like them and maybe that will become their go-to exercise as well. Don't forget to give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it and of course subscribe if you're not I'd love to have you here and don't forget I do away in video every single Friday. Check out that description box for nutrition coaching links discounts to my favorite things and don't forget to join us on Facebook if you haven't already it's a great community and we'd love to have you happy Friday friends happy weekend and I'll see you in tomorrow's grocery haul.


I'm Bill Hammack. And I'm Don DeCost. And we created this lecture series, Michael Faraday's The Chemical History of a Candle with Alex Black, a chemistry undergraduate at the time at the University of Illinois. And this commentary track is intended to enhance and enrich the lecture by looking at some of the larger issues that Faraday is going to touch on. You know, and Faraday lets us know right away that this is more than just about a candle. He tells us that there's no better window into science than studying the candle. He's going to hint at and discuss a lot of things, chemical reactions, density, the nature of gases, capillary action. And if you haven't watched these lectures yet or read these, spoiler alert coming up here. By the last lecture, he's going to compare human respiration to the combustion of a candle. And Bill and I have found it very useful to rewatch these lectures again knowing that he's going to do that because it's really fascinating to see the logic that he uses and how he goes about reading us naturally to this point. And the way he does this is by asking questions and making observations. And so he's actually modeling the scientific method or scientific process for us. And in fact, in the lecture, he's going to come back and explicitly tell us that he's doing this. And I think something to make more explicit from Faraday about this part that I really like is that the heat serves two purposes. It melts the wax, which is more obvious. But it also then, by causing the convection currents, it allows the air to flow over the candle and then it cools down the wax on the outside. So it heats and cools at the same time, allowing the candle to keep its shape. So now Faraday's next sentence is one of my favorite and really captures something really important in the lectures. The same force of gravity, which holds worlds together, holds this fluid in a horizontal position. And if the cup be not horizontal, of course the fluid will run away and guttering. And we'll see Faraday make this point again and again throughout the lecture. The point that science gives us a uniform explanation for nature. And this is probably a good time to talk about the language and our choice. You just heard the phrase, if the cup be not horizontal, obviously we decided to keep Faraday's original language. You'll hear many other examples of this in the coming lectures. We decided to do this for a few reasons. One, historically we wanted to keep the language. He's also very poetic in a lot of places. But it's also very vivid in the same passage we heard him use the phrase, holds worlds together. And that really tells us what's going on. But it's a very vivid way of saying that. Yeah, in addition to being vivid, there's also a precision to it, even though it's not always what we will call strictly scientific language today. And I really like the way that Faraday makes segues and makes transitions. He talks, first of all, that the utility of a candle is what's important. And that's actually its beauty, not what it looks like, but how it acts. And then he also looks at candles like these that are bad burning candles. And he finds some beauty in those too. And that beauty is we can learn something about burning by a negative result. Yeah, indeed, as scientists, we can learn from any result. And in fact, in beautiful language, Faraday makes that same point right about here. We come here to be scientists, and I hope you will always remember that whenever a result happens, especially if it be new, you should say, what is the cause? Why does it occur? And you will, in the course of time, find out the reason. So this really nicely sums up the nature of science, and it's a theme that really permeates all of these lectures. And of course, part of this nature is to ask a question, and the question doesn't always lead to an answer, it leads to another question. So he asks the question about the chemical change that occurs in a candle, and that leads him to wonder about the physical change, and that is, how does that wax get up to the flame? You just mentioned physical and chemical changes, and those are going to be really important throughout the lecture. And let's listen to how Michael Faraday discusses chemical and physical changes in a very colloquial yet still precise language. Especially when you come to learn what a vigorous thing flame is, what power it has of destroying the wax itself when it gets hold of it, and of disturbing its proper form if it comes only to near. And so the flame does two things then. The flame melts the wax, and that's a physical change, and Faraday uses the term disturbing its proper form, which lets us know it's actually going then from a solid to a liquid. The flame also allows the wax to react with the oxygen as we'll find out. Yeah, it destroys the wax, and it turns the wax into something new as we'll find out we get carbon dioxide and water as products of the flame. And so this is a chemical reaction. Now, when students are first learning chemistry, this difference between chemical and physical change is a difficult one. It helps if the students think about the molecules, and Faraday provides language that helps us view it this way. Destroying, destroying the molecules, and just disturbing the molecules, changing the form. And Faraday will return to these chemical and physical changes in every lecture. And so this is one example of something that we changed that Faraday did. It's the same idea about different materials. Faraday used Rutan Cain and Camfer because he had the materials in his time, and we decided instead to use a salt column and alcohol to show capillary action of a fluid. You know, and this is one of our favorite demonstrations of Faraday's. It's just so vivid. Don just said a minute ago, it's both good looking and good working. And you really can understand how a part of a candle works after you see this. And so let's return to Michael Faraday here because he just summarizes this so aptly. The fluid has risen by the capillary action of the salt just as it does through the wick in the candle. So another thing about the language, we mentioned a little bit ago that we decided to keep his language for certain reasons, historical reasons. It's very vivid and so on. Obviously the language that he just said, that we had him just say, the capillary action of the salt, those were our words because as we mentioned, we changed the demonstration to include a salt column. And so we did this when we needed to do this. We kept his language as much as possible if we needed to change a demonstration or we needed to say something in a slightly different way. We changed the language slightly. So the demonstration that we just saw and the one that's coming up are used to show that the fuel used by the candle is vaporous. So in that experiment where he turned the candle over, the liquid would come down on the flame and the candle cannot burn, the liquid fuel has to become vaporous first. And then this experiment that's coming up is a very famous one where he's going to relight the vapor. And I should note that both of these experiments are a little difficult to do when we turned the candle over, that took a number of tries and you're going to see me lighting the vapor here in just a second and this was certainly not a single take that we used to do this, that we did this in. And in fact, what's interesting is Faraday in the later lectures does even more fantastic things in piping that vapor around through a glass tube and relighting it. Things that just are, I find just truly astonishing. So in this section that's coming up, Michael Faraday it's lyrical about science. And you can really see or hear his enthusiasm come through and so I think we should just let him speak for a moment here.  You have the glittering beauty of gold and silver and the still higher lustre of jewels like the ruby and diamond. But none of these rival the brilliancy and beauty of flame. What diamond can shine like flame? It owes its luster at night time to the very flame shining upon it. The flame shines in darkness, but the light which the diamond has is is nothing and to the flame shine upon it when it is brilliant again. The candle alone shines by itself and for itself and for those who've arranged the materials. Let's be Faraday here for a moment and make all the observations we can. The wick is bright at the end, it's blacked on the length of it up to where the wax is and the flame only touches up to where the wax is and the flame is multicolored as well. Of course what he did was he turned those all into questions and used that to motivate a scientific investigation into how a candle works. And so if you know where Faraday is going with this, he just dropped a couple of really big hints. He mentioned the phrase, ignition is not so perfect, which is talking about incomplete combustion, which he'll get into more about not being able to burn the carbon completely. He used the phrase, matter rising about it, which is the carbon dioxide, which takes up almost an entire lecture. And he used the phrase, which you do not see, which is the first hint that he's going to work at getting the invisible visible for us.  This is the first example using these shadows where he makes the invisible visible, but we'll see examples of that throughout the lectures. And this is one of the many times I think both Bill and I were just fascinated by what we saw in that we actually see a shadow of a flame, which never occurred to me that we could do that. And what's great about this as Faraday points out is that the darkest part of the shadow is actually the brightest part of the flame. And it's worth making a tie to the later lectures in that here he makes the observation that the brightest part of the flame shows up darkest in the shadow. But as we explain in later lectures, that's because there's incandescent particles, carbon particles, that are what give a flame its brightness. And in that last clip, we used some special effects so that we could take photographs of the flames of those candles. And we did this because Faraday actually said that. He said that we have to photograph these in order to find out everything concerning them. We were very surprised to hear him mention photographs and we found out that he was very interested in photography. And in fact, at the Royal Institution in January 1839, he made the first public announcement in Britain of the New Art, which was to become photography. So now let's listen to Faraday as he explains this demonstration that he used with this sufficiently large flame. You have the air creeping in over the edge of the dish forming these tongues. Why? Because through the force of the current and the irregularity of the action of the flame, it cannot flow in one uniform stream. The air flows in so irregularly that you have what would otherwise be a single image broken up into a variety of forms. And each of these little tongues has an independent existence of its own. Indeed, I might say you have here a multitude of independent candles. Now with that phase, a multitude of independent candles, Faraday introduces a kind of reasoning that he'll use more often throughout the remaining lectures. It's reductionism. In other words, it's a way to look for a unity in nature by reducing it to some essential elements and actually making the philosophical point that these elements are identical. And by elements here, we mean principles. Notice he's not saying that this large flame is like independent candles. He's saying you have here a multitude of independent candles. So instead of just being an analogy, he's actually equating the two. And I think this is a good reminder at the end of the lectures that, well, the lectures appear to be about a candle and then ultimately about respiration, that really these lectures are an extended study in the scientific method, in how you reason as a scientist and how you ask questions. And in fact, at the very end here, he asks a series of questions that then will be answered in later lectures. And so as you'll see here at the end, this video series has a companion volume, a companion book that goes with it. It contains transcripts of all the lectures. And it also contains lecture guides written in contemporary language. And it includes as well a set of activities that you could do at home or at school. And you'll notice that there's a free PDF at the website and there also you can buy hardbound copies and paperbound copies and electronic versions. So I'm Bill Hammack. I'm Don DeCost. And thanks for listening.


Live from Berlin, Germany. It's theCUBE, covering NetApp Insight 2017. Brought to you by NetApp. Welcome back to theCUBE's live coverage of NetApp Insight 2017. I'm your host, Rebecca Knight, along with my co-host, Peter Burris. We are joined by Jean English. She is the Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of NetApp. Thanks so much for coming on the show. Oh, thank you for having me. We're glad you're here with us to join us at Insight Berlin. We're always excited to be you, anything with NetApp. So talk a little bit about NetApp's digital transformation. You're now at a years-long transformation from storage, your legacy, to data. Talk a little bit about your positioning in the market. Sure. So I think people have previously thought of NetApp as storage. And what we are so focused on now is data. And why data, because that's what we hear from our customers, our partners, the analysts, is what is really topping their needs right now. And when we think about how companies are transforming, they're having to think about, digital transformation is topping the list. It's topping the most strategic agendas of most CEOs. But what happens is they have to think about the data and how does it become a lifeblood of their business? How does it seamlessly throw through that business? And what does it mean to either optimize their operations if they've got to increase their customer and touch points if they have to create new product services and even businesses? So we feel like right now that is our focus is on data and it's so much a part of our heritage that we look to the future as well. So one of the things that you're working on now is helping customers use data in new exciting, innovative, creative ways. Can you talk broadly about your approach to that and how you're drawing inspiration from customers and then empowering them? Absolutely. So we really try to think about what is our purpose? And our purpose can be true to our heritage from 25 years ago. We just celebrated our 25-year anniversary this past spring and it is to empower our customers to change the world with data. And just a few of those we see now, especially in hybrid cloud environments, customers have to think about how are they going to simplify and integrate data across on-prem cloud environments to accelerate digital transformation. One example of that is EDS Media. We love their story because they're talking about how to get new stories real time through a cloud platform into the hands of journalists that can publish real-time live insights, real-time journalism. And so when you think about the speed that has to happen with creating stories, getting them published, getting them out to news networks, that's data and it's a good data story. When you think about the data story though, a lot of people talk about how data is a fuel or data is. And we tend to think at least at Silicon Angle Wikibon that that's probably not the best analogy because data's different from other resources. Most resources share the economics of scarcity. You can do this or you can do that. But data's different because data could be copied, data could be shared, but data also could be appropriated inappropriately. Can you talk a little bit about the relationship or the direction that that's taken to on the one hand, facilitate the sharing of data strategically while at the same time ensuring that proper security and IP controls are placed on it? Absolutely. So I think people are looking to make sure that they can share freely data and seamlessly integrate data across multiple sources. I mean, right now what we find is that whether it's because you've had data that's been on-prem and maybe that's more structured. Now we're starting to see more in structured data. So data's becoming a lot more diverse. People are constantly looking for the latest source of truth of data, it's so dynamic. And because it's so distributed across environments, people are trying to figure out how do you integrate data? How do you share data? But it's all about simplicity because they need it to be efficient. They need to make sure that it's protected so security is top of mind, so data protection is the utmost of importance. They're looking for ways to embrace future technologies and whether that's thinking about different cloud environments, SaaS applications, and then how do they create the most open opportunities? A lot of people aren't just sitting putting their data in one cloud. What we're finding is it's a multi-cloud world and they're looking for a holistic solution to more easily and seamlessly manage their data through those environments. But the infrastructure has to move from, as you said, a storage orientation towards something that's going to facilitate the appropriate sharing and integration of data, like a fabric, can you talk a little bit about that? So we started the conversation around data fabric. It was one of the first people to really talk about data fabric in the market back in 2013, and this vision was about how do you seamlessly be able to share and integrate data across cloud and on-prem environments? That has become so true in how we've been building out that data fabric today. We just launched a few weeks ago that we are the first industry-leading storage data service in the Microsoft Azure console so that people can easily be able to complete storage capabilities in cloud storage in Microsoft. We've also been developing solutions to make sure that maybe if you're not wanting to do everything in Office 365 and Azure, you want to back it up to AWS. So how do you have better backup capabilities, sharing of data across clouds? We're also seeing that you may want to sync data. So maybe once you put data into the cloud and you run analytics or even machine learning, how do you then get data back?  So this notion of one cloud to back to on-prem, multi-cloud environments has been critical as we've been thinking about customers and where they're going. One of the things we're also hearing about at this conference is that this is the day of the data visionary and this is where people who are thinking about how to store data, use data, extract data, find value in the data, the demands on them, the pressures on them are so intense. How is NetApp helping those people, sort of understanding where they are not only in their businesses, but also in their trajectories of their careers and then helping them move forward? Absolutely. We've been really thinking about who is really using data to disrupt and are this disruptive use of data to really drive business results? It's not just about having the data, it's about how are you going to have an impact on the business. So we started to think about this notion of who is a data thriver and who's thriving with data versus who's just surviving and in fact, some are even resisting. So we actually partnered with IDC to launch a study on data thrivers to look at who is truly looking at driving new revenue streams, attracting new customers, how are they able to use data as a core-listed part of their business? Not some one-off or side project to help through the digital transformation, but what was going to drive really good business results? Data as an asset, data across business and IT. And we see new roles are emerging from this. So we're seeing that, you know, chief data officers, chief digital officers, chief data scientists, chief transformation officers, all new roles that have been emerging over the last couple of years, but these data thrivers are seeing tremendous business impact. And so what is it that separates those people? I mean, I think that those really, those companies and those business models and what are sort of the worst case scenarios for those companies that are just surviving and not necessarily thriving in this new environment. It's interesting, we're seeing that companies that actually put data at the center of what they do, so we think of it as a data-centric organization, are seeing six X in what they're seeing in terms of being able to drive real customer acquisition. When we think about what it means to drive operational efficiency, when we think about two X times in terms of profitability, real bottom line results, compared to people that are simply just surviving with data. What's interesting is that when we started to think about what are the attributes of these people? So business and IT, working together in unison, these roles in fact that are emerging are starting to become those catalysts and change agents that are bringing IT and the business more together. We're also seeing that when you think of data as an asset, even to the bottom line, how does data become more critical in terms of what they see in terms of being a differentiated advantage for the company? Also, thinking through quality, quality, quality. So you've got to make sure that the data is of highest quality and it's constantly being cleansed. Then in terms of how do we think of it being used across the business? It's not just about holding data and locking it away behind a firewall. Data more to date is so dynamic, distributed and diverse that you have to let it be utilized and activated across the business. And then to think through, it starts not just in terms of what customers are using and seeing from data, but they can actually see in terms of customer touchpoints and having a better customer experience. But then how do you make sure it even comes back to development? To create new products, create new services, maybe even eliminate waste. Stop doing product lines based on what they're seeing from actual usage. So it's a pretty fascinating space right now, but the data thrivers, the new thought we're thinking in terms of getting that out in the market and really sharing that more so with our clients so that they can benchmark themselves as well.   How would you tell your peers to use data differently? Well, I think there's a couple of things. I mean, for me, data is the lifeblood of how we think about how we actually create a better customer experience. We're using data constantly to better understand what are our customers' needs. And those customers are evolving. Before, and the loyalist that we love with storage architects and admins, we're starting to see that people are thinking about how to use more hybrid cloud data services with CIOs. Like how are they going to look at a cloud strategy? The DevOps, how are they going to create deploy and applications at speed? How are they going to be able to help truly think through what are they going to do to drive more analytics and better workload usage and efficiencies? So our clients are evolving. And when we think about how do you reach those clients differently, we have to know who they are. We have to use data to understand them. We have to be more personalized. We just relaunched our entire digital experience so that when we try to look at how do you bring people into something that's more customized, more personalized? What does it mean to be a cloud architect that's thinking about a data backup and protection plan? What does it mean for someone in DevOps is thinking about how to actually create and deploy an application at speed? Like how do you think about someone that's going to look at the needs from a CIO so much differently than before? But using data, using customization, thinking about an engaging experience, bringing them through that experience so that we solve their business challenges. We use data and analytics every day. I think of us as being the new data scientists. People say, is it hard or is it science and marketing? And I'm like, well, it's a little bit of the storytelling. Absolutely, we have to leave the stories, but the data and the analytics is where we really understand our customers best. And so using analytic models, using predictive models, using more ways in which we can actually reach customers in new ways we've never had before through social, but bring them into a new conversation. So analytics, analytics, storytelling and understanding, getting closer to new clients like we've never had before, and then thinking through how do we use that full circle loop of learning to get better and better at how we engage our customers in ways they want to engage with us. I want to switch gears just a second, and I know that you've just been nominated as an international board member. You were a board member before of Athena of the Triangle, which is about supporting and inspiring women in the technology industry. As we know that this is the dearth of women technologists is a big problem in the U.S. and globally. Can you tell us a little bit more about the organization and what you're doing? Sure, so Athena International is really about how do you promote women's leadership? And it's across the world. In fact, we just launched some very exciting initiatives in China where I live for a year, and the president of Athena International is a friend of mine, and she was really looking at how do you foster growth, especially in emerging markets in countries where women's leadership can be so profound in terms of how do you impact the business, government and market and really overall global success. Athena is focused on its technology, but it's also women in many industries, but really how do you gain the powerful mentorships, how do you gain powerful access to programs, to having more access to expertise that can help them to think through business models, business cases, how do they grow their business? It might be from financial to career counseling to mentoring on marketing, but it's really thinking through women's leadership as a whole. And is NetApp also working on behalf of that cause too? We're really focused on, today in fact, we're going to be hosting the annual Women in Technology Summit, and so we're so focused on how do we think about developing women in technology, how to think about that across not only our employees, but our partners and our customers, and it's not just about women, this is men and women working together to determine how do we stop the fact that we've got to get more access to women and mentorships and sponsorships and really, really driving how we have leadership as we really grow into our careers and can drive more business impact. Great. Well Jean, thanks so much for coming on theCUBE. It was really fun talking to you. Absolutely, thank you both. I'm Rebecca Knight for Peter Burris. We will have more from NetApp Insight here in Berlin, Germany in just a little bit.


Hey everybody welcome back to the channel today. It's gonna be another More of an adventure type video where I'm Really, not sure what I'm doing or what I don't you know know how to do But the basic gist of it is I'm going to go through and race BS PWM now For those of you know me. I'm an i3 user. I've been an i3 user for a long time But I have used BS PWM in the past and this is Basically what BS PWM looks like on my computer and hash for a long time It uses most of the colors from my i3 config And that's fine, but it's also boring. I want something a little bit different. So I'm going to use whatever else uses because that's not boring, you know, whatever whatever I'm gonna try to go through and Dracula our eyes Not a word.  This is This person on reddit. I'm not even tried it to attempt to Say their username. I'll just put that in the show description if you want to copy along with me I'll so Eventually, I'll upload my config files for i3 and BS PWM up to my get get lab or get um Page. I haven't done that yet. Eventually. I will maybe I'll make a video of doing that. I'm not sure anyways So where do we start? I So far, I'll tell you first. I'll tell you what I've done so far so far. I've made it so that BS PWM is pulling from a space its own Polybar config file instead of using the same one my i3 config uses I just So far I've only copied over, you know, one to one that file because I know it works But this way any changes I make here won't be translated over into my i3 Hopefully if it if it does I'm gonna be a little upset because that means I Three rice will be gone down the drain which will be disappointing because I'm not using Dracula fry three. I'm using one dark If they start mixing together, it will not look great. So I've done that I've also gone through and made sure that the sx sx hkd file is one that's only being used for BS PWM because I'm gonna try to keep those two configuration files for i3 and BS PWM separate so I don't have to have them all at one and make it all messy I've done that now. I've also so you'll see This is my sx hkd rc file and this is just the standard One that comes with arco linux and there's a bunch of cruft in here that I don't need I might go through and Eventually I'm gonna go through and take out all this extra stuff that I just don't need I don't use variety variety comes installed on Standard arco linux, but I'm using arco linux d and you still have the same stuff you in their config files as you would have if you You know we're using the regular arco linux. So it comes with a whole bunch of cruft that you don't actually need now this here is my BS PWM RC and Again, there's a just it's just a standard one that comes with arco I've made very few changes other than making sure that the the workspaces appear on the proper Monitor I have two monitors, so I don't I want You know one through five on the first monitor six through ten on the second monitor And that's how you do this and that all comes in to standard arco linux. So I'm thinking That the only things in this file here that I'm going to need to change Are these colors here? I think that's the only thing that the only colors are actually defined in The bash script that is BS PWM So let's go ahead and go get some colors Remember where everything's at Let's see here. So drag you a color scheme Colors Here we go, and this will give us the colored So we want the outline of the windows to be the purple of Dracula, which is this I'm believe it's purple here BD 393 F9. Okay so config focus border color so if we do this change words and then Do that and then the control w and restart VW subium and we've made a start now as you see these have Borders when they're not focused, which is this hex hex This color right here. So we want to make that I'm so used to my browser being on Number one and for whatever reason it opened up on number four So I'm gonna be switching to the wrong desktop or workspace all the time. It's gonna be annoying AF So let's see what a color do we want to use for I think we'll use the foreground color for that Okay, and then oops run one And we just control that it might be too bright Yeah, it's too bright Now it does Dracula have a grayish that do they have a gray? I mean, we could use this dart. We could use this one. Let's see what this one looks like Oops, and it didn't that didn't cover copy over the right one Wanted it to be this color here four four four seven five a that really the same color It is the right color. Okay. It just looked weird It looks exactly the same as was and maybe it was exactly the same as was Anyways, I'll work I guess Okay, so the next thing we want to do config active border color I Don't know what that active Config active border border color. How's that different from the focus border color? I don't know Okay, well, it doesn't matter if we figure out what that means. I'll come back and change it So I think that means we're done with the BSPW MRC so we can close that and we can go to our Our poly bark and fig now The first thing we want to do is the focused color of the workspace. So we go down here to BSPW M and We'll go down here to the Yeah, the module of BSPW M and we want to change the focused foreground here this here to This color here purple, right? We'll see it and see what it looks like And See I had worried about this that it wasn't actually pulling The bright poly bark and fig. Okay, so How do I go about changing that? so the way I have it right now is is I have a poly bar folder here in my BSPW M folder and I have the auto Start file launch the launch s h Script from that file instead of the one from You know the one that uses for my three But it's not that's not working Now I know there's a good dash C option for poly bar. So if I am if I do Super let's go ahead and call poly bar Okay, so that gets rid of poly bar. So if I do poly bar dash C till the slash dot config BSPW M poly bar Launch shot s h That did not work. Oh cuz I got it. Why didn't I wonder why it didn't work? So the see that it's this dash C that I want to use hmm maybe Maybe we'll just have to go through and hmm That should work So if I do a restart ish Poly bar in this with this here should not actually work if it's not running Doing from that. Hold on. It's like I wonder CD.config BSPW M poly bar the launch Okay, so Yeah, there's this whole bunch. This is the okay. I wonder Okay, so let's see if we can make this so if we do that say look at this Monitor out by reload poly bar main dash C But it pulls from the wrong config file. So what we need to do is change this to insert BSPW M slash and We need to do it here as well insert BSPW M PWM slash Okay, and I think I think that should be it So if we save this control WQ and Reload poly bar It does show up now the question is If I make a change in As you can tell I'm not used to using BSPW M There's some things. I just don't understand like why I can't change back to that All right. Anyway, so we control out of that. Oops. Okay, and then them slash poly bar fig Okay, and then let's change BSPW M And this is where we need to go and change Actually, we already know it's working. Just look at change the color. I'm good All right, that's great news. All right, so that means what we can do what we should be able to do is clean up This file just a little bit so we can close that Go to the top and clean up some of this stuff just rid of all this stuff. I don't need these comments I no longer need those Okay, we'll leave all this here for now We can get rid of the Nord theme because we're not using Nord to read some of these lines Okay, we can get rid of The Gotham theme is the one that is using so we'll get rid of the interceptor theme Okay, and then intervisual mode and just get rid of all of I3 Because I don't need I3 in this config because it's not gonna use it That's gonna get rid of a lot of lines We get rid of open box. We don't need that We don't need the other open box We do need obviously BSPWM So get rid of all that Okay, I'm gonna leave the two BSPWM Bars even though it doesn't use the second one Then get rid of Herbs left Never gonna use Herbs left even though I have Herbs left WM installed I think I Did try it for like 30 seconds Maybe someday we'll get that another chance We don't need X-Mone ad either Yeah, we don't need an X-Mone ad because that will draw from the regular standard config in polybar slash config This one here is just gonna be for BSPWM So we can delete that Okay, now We'll save that and the polybar disappeared Wonder why it would disappear Why would it disappear? It doesn't make any sense. All right, so we'll just do some Let's go through and read Undo all that and see if it comes back It's back again. Wonder what I did what I what I deleted that will so we won't delete it nearly as much this time So let's give it some of this Okay Oops Need that to stay Okay, and then we can There's no reason why those comments would keep it from loading.  Yeah, I bet you it was be deleting this colors Because I deleted this part this colors here too. I bet you All right. Yeah, I bet I bet you that was what it was. All right. You won't delete that this time Okay, now let's go and try to delete the I3 part make sure that yeah, I should be able to delete this just fine without, you know Polybarn, you know crashing delete W Yep, good. All right. We'll try again with the open box if you're gonna do this yourself and you've got to go through and Delete stuff from a config file and you're not quite sure what you've needed delete Delete little snippets first and then save it make sure things to keep working that way, you know when things break What to fix because you go through and delete all all the stuff you want and you don't know exactly when it broke Like I did before so I'm gonna get rid of the two open box We delete that It's gonna end up having been this colors bracket here that caused that to not load almost guaranteed So we'll leave the BS PWM ones because those are the ones we need Just clean this stuff up This is this is half of what racing is because when you write something unless you're starting blatantly from scratch Chances are most people just steal all their people's configs then make them there and that's what I always do I mean, I'm a lazy person.  So And that's basically what we're doing here. This is Arcos config file and we're just going through and making sure that it's not so damn long We're gonna go ahead and do it X-mode at the same time Now I should be able to again w this and it works very good All right now I think I can delete the i3 module as well, but I'm not sure I'm gonna try Because BSP at WM uses its own module for the work spaces So I should be able to do this. Yep. Good good Everything else should be able to stay All right, so now It's just a matter of going through and choosing the colors for the modules So the first one here, I believe is memory and this is a CPU so Memory I'm not sure which one it uses Can't remember just go right to the top it uses. Let's see here Uses memory to okay, okay, here we go now Do-do-do-do what um What colors should we want this to be I? Think we'll make it science. That's basically what it is now, but it'll be a little lighter. I think We'll see if I'm right about that Color sign V Those are gonna be very very close So that was the prefix foreground. We want this to be the same way Okay Save that. Yeah, and there we go. Okay, so now we'll see what the CPU wanted. I think it's CPU one as well Yep, CPU one Okay, here we go And now what color do we want that to be? do-do-do Want it to be let's call it and Basically, it's gonna be exactly same ones can be a brighter green. Okay. All right And here as well Okay now Volume I think that's gonna be PAV Yeah, definitely. Okay, so what color do we want that to be? Want that to be that's like an orange thing? Why not? I mean we could have it red, but let's go ahead and do orange this time. Okay. Okay, very good Um And file system is the next one. Okay. All right, so What do we want that to be? We just did orange. Let's do something a little bit We can do that. That one can be the red. Okay. Hey All right And then date one Okay, is this one here I mean we can make that Let's see here. Oh, let's make that pink. I guess I like guys. I'm a little bit darker We can make it this color purple here But I'm thinking that this color purple here is actually going to be the color of the bar Yeah, let's go ahead and make it pink Yep. Okay, and then we need date two. All right. Let's see here What color is here? So we've done red. We've done pink. We've done orange We've done green. We've done blue and then um So we'll do yellow okay Even though it was basically yellow before so basically these none of these colors actually changed Oops And there's poly bar. Oh, we got to change the background. All right. So go back up here at the top it's using The Gotham theme so the background is going to be We want I think we want it to be this Purple here or do we want it to be the the bright purple?  All right, uh Okay Okay, and go back up here Oops, I didn't I didn't save this That doesn't look terrible. We need to go down here and change that font. So the fonts the font is um Always messes up. So all right. So if you if you can see up here where see how the there's like a space underneath these You know everything it looks horrible. What you want to change Is this After the semicolon on your font you want to change that to one oops and if you do W now That should change it. Maybe it needs to be two I think I'm gonna go ahead and change it to two On all of them. Yeah, there we go. See how that now. I also want to make the bar a little bit smaller We don't need it to be so so big Maybe 22. Oops Yeah, that's a little better. Yeah, that looks good. Oh, we you know, we didn't change the weather. Okay, so There's no reason. I mean, let's find what purple That that light purple that we were we're looking at This one here Sometimes them just deletes things because you press the wrong key button Okay Yeah, it's a little bit better. Yeah. All right, and there's Dracula For poly bar not bad um, not really that bad at all all right, so I think That's good enough for now I'll probably make a part two of this video where I look at figuring out how to make it so that termite uses A different config when I'm in bspwm than it what it does when I'm in i3 that'll be my next project for this And and I wonder if I can do the same thing for firefox. That'd be a challenge Anyways, if you like this video give it a thumbs up. If not, give it a thumbs down Uh, and uh, if you really like the all the nonsense, give us a subscribe and we'll uh, see you next time


I think you get even more excited about what I have to say now. So the second part deals with Germany, NATO, Russia and Ukraine. The latest and most dramatic attempt at centralization is obviously the current Ukraine war. It is obviously an attempt at further and advanced globalization, centralization, imperialism, whatever you might call it, with still very uncertain outcome. And it is also the latest demonstration of global elites to show in particular to Germany, but also Western Europe in general and the EU, who is boss. Supported in this of course by elites, German collaborators and traitors. From the outset a short general remark on war, as for violent conflicts between individuals or maybe even rival street gangs, we can normally clearly distinguish the aggressor and the victim. Aggressive violence and defense, the evil and the guilty from the good and the innocent. But this is becoming more or less impossible however with interstate war and interstate violence. Because all states are aggressors, we have heard that from David Durr before.  Just think of mafia gangs trying to enlarge their turf or defending or protecting themselves from the attempts by another gang to take them over. Which leads me to the following first verdict and judgment regarding the current war. Everyone, Biden, Putin, Zelensky, Johnson, Schultz, Macron, von der Leyen and so forth, indeed everyone involved and implicated in the war with means and materials, not his own, is an evil war monger.  In addition of course to all the aggression that they do internally. But this does not exclude or making judgment and comparing the relative guilt and blame of the warring gangs in the present war. And here I reach a rather clear verdict. It is not Putin and his gang that aims at world domination and that has organized coups and station troops in Canada or Mexico so as to encircle and pose a danger to the gang ruling the United States. For that Russia is too much of an economic lightweight. Russia is and was happy to keep control over what she had and not getting increasingly dependent on neighboring and economically increasingly far more powerful China. It is the ruling gangs of the United States in cooperation with the European lab dogs that have and are pursuing this goal of world domination. And that have said so. And that have encircled Putin Russia with regards which regards obviously the US and the US as decadent and that has resisted the Western attempts at economic and cultural infiltration. And it is basically the US and NATO troops that have moved closer and closer to the vicinity of Russia. The US and Ukraine are separated by the Atlantic Ocean and the distance between Washington DC and Kiev is almost 8,000 kilometers. On the other hand the Ukraine is a former member of the Soviet Union and has a direct border with Russia more than 2,000 kilometers long. Again we are dealing here with gangs on all sides. Incidentally these observations should also suffice to counter the implied assertion advanced by some self-declared libertarians with their rhetorical question wouldn't you rather live in the US or in Germany rather than in Russia? Should not our sympathy then be with the US and Germany rather than with Russia? And should we not hope then for success of our side rather than that of Russia whatever that success is supposed to mean under the present circumstances? Now just a brief retort to this. It is not Putin who is taking our property and our freedom and regardless of the ultimate outcome of the current war it will not be Putin who will do so in the future. It is our ruling gangs that rob and enslave us that have stepped up already now to do so and that will almost certainly clamp down on us even more so if they win. Whereas if they would lose that would be a major setback for our ruling gangsters and their march toward totalitarian domination of us. In any case then it is hardly surprising that Moscow would regard the expansion of the hostile gang ruling Washington all the way to Ukraine that they would regard that as a threat and a provocation. Again keep in mind I'm talking here about rival gangs competing for turf and Putin repeatedly said so and warned against any such attempts. Moscow demanded instead that the Ukraine stay neutral and not join NATO or the UEU which would appear eminently reasonable. After all Switzerland is also neutral and it is the wealthiest of all European countries. Nobody has prevented Ukraine from becoming the wealthiest country in Europe but the neocons running the show in the US were not amenable to reason. Despite Putin's warnings they organized a coup one of their infamous color revolutions and helped install a pro-NATO pro-EU anti-Russia government gang with the current gang leader of front puppet Zelensky and they began to arm and train its military and they ignored or even secretly supported the military attacks of ultra-nationalist brigades in the Ukraine since 2014 on its two eastern most predominantly Russian speaking provinces that were seeking some sort of autonomy status especially after Russian had been outlawed as a second language in the Ukraine. Given this background it appears absurd and devoid of any sense of proportion to declare Putin and Russia the main or even the only guilty party in the current disaster only because he fired the first shot. Instead the main culprit in the ruling is the ruling gang in Washington because it could have easily avoided the current slaughter and destruction by only telling their Ukrainian lab dogs the clown Zelensky to accept neutrality and grant some degree of autonomy to the Donbass region. As US lab dogs they would have immediately relented but the US did not do so and even now as the US could immediately end the war if only they told Zelensky and his gang that the war was over and all western support and the financial gravity train would stop tomorrow. But no, none of that. US NATO did not involve itself directly in the war after all Russia is an atomic power and why risk American lives especially after the recent Afghanistan disaster. But they imposed the most serious drastic economic financial sanctions, boycotts, embargoes and Russia and they froze and expropriated Russian assets in the West and they supplied the Ukraine with weapons so as to continue and drag out the war and prevent any peace negotiation. Let the Ukraine be destroyed and Ukrainians die and be sacrificed along as long as this would only lead to a weakening of Russian power also by claiming of course the moral high ground for itself. The political elites all across Europe including even supposedly neutral countries such as Switzerland and Austria followed the US orders to the Dot even tried to outdo each other in their eagerness to allegedly help in sending money and weapons to the Ukrainian government gang leader while actually having thereby ever more people killed much as can be expected of a bunch of servile lap dogs. As for Germany in particular, Germany had the closest economic ties to Russia. Russia is its main supplier of oil, gas and other raw materials. Through various pipelines, Russia and Germany are directly physically connected and Germany is also the leading foreign investor and producer and manufacturer in Russia and so no one was hit harder by the sanctions and embargoes imposed by the US and the EU on Russia then Germany. Interestingly, these close German relations with Russia in particular the German dependency on Russian oil and gas had been based on plain economics. They were cheaper there than elsewhere and no German party until recently had ever anything against it or post these type of relations that they had but now suddenly all of this was declared a no-no, an inexcusable blunder and the meanwhile retired Angela Merkel who until only a year or so ago had been hailed almost unanimously by the ruling elite and their mainstream media as the greatest of German politicians if not of the entire world came suddenly under increasingly sharp attack including from her own party leaders because did she not, did not the number of Russian pipelines during her term significantly increase? Did she not speak Russian? Did she not meet Putin many times? Did she not work for the secret police in East Germany but maybe also for the KGB? And was it not she who with huge support in particular from the Greens had closed down all atomic reactors in Germany and thus increased the German energy dependency on Russia? In any case with the West already on the recipe on the verge of economic disaster and depression, due to the unparalleled monetary expansion of the Fed and the European Central Bank and further aggravated by the economic destruction caused by the pandemic lockdown the stock market tanked, consumer goods prices rose at an unprecedented rate and shortages of basic goods appeared and the German public was told by their brilliant leaders that they had to tighten their belt and prepare for some freezing during the next winter so as to help the Zelensky gang stay warm and keep on sacrificing their own population. Moreover, the Western measures taken against Russia had some momentous geopolitical or strategic consequences. Without doubt the measures damaged the Russian economy but as a world's leading energy and raw material supplier Russia was able to reorganize its trade routes the flow of oil, gas, wheat and so forth was simply redirected in eastern and southern direction where there were eager buyers, China and India for instance. After all, the world outside the West was much larger than the West itself. The ruble actually rose against the dollar and Germany appeared to be hit much harder by the sanctions than the sanctions Russia itself. However, from the viewpoint of the US NATO-Neocon strategists the economic damage produced caused by the sanctions all across Europe but in particular Germany had also some highly welcome effects. True, the measures taken also had some negative economic repercussions in the United States but on balance the economic power of Europe and the EU and in particular of Germany was systematically weakened relative to the power of the United States. The European and especially German dependency on the US was increased. One had to buy now oil, gas and so forth at much higher price from the US instead of buying it from Russia. And the massive military rearmament all throughout Europe and again especially in Germany that was prompted in tandem with the entire Russian measures was to the benefit mostly of the US as the world's leading weapons manufacturer and the Neocons best friends and supporters. With this outcome, the US had accomplished an important geostrategic goal for according to a highly influential school of geopolitical thought ranging from Halford-Mackender at the beginning of the 20th century to Brzezinski in our own time whoever, whatever power or powers that would attain domination of the Euro-Asian continent the world's heartland they called would thereby essentially and indirectly eventually also attain domination over the rest of the world and to prevent this from happening and to preserve the Anglo-US supremacy in the world any such powers had to be prevented from emerging and the only danger, the only potential threat in this regard to Anglo-US, US-Anglo supremacy could possibly come from an alliance between Germany and Russia maybe in cooperation also with France which accordingly had to be undermined by all means and this indeed had been accomplished has been accomplished by the war in the Ukraine and its political fallout there is no longer any danger of an alliance of a close cooperation between Russia and Germany as it would be economically sensible and to mutual advantage no such thing will happen in the foreseeable future the victory for the long-standing Anglo-American alliance might also explain Boris Johnson's extra belligerence among the corrupt brainwashed and dim-witted German political elites and the mainstream media there has been unsurprisingly no recognition or awareness of any of this and if anyone mentioned or hinted it at all he was denounced as a conspiracy theorist instead so as to distract, pacify and console the public from the economic hardship that they now must suffer as a consequence of course of Germany's taking orders and following the lead of the United States the super top gang, the political elite and the mainstream media in Germany have engaged almost unison in an open hate Russia and everyone and everything connected with the Russian campaign I had of course read and heard before of similar hate campaigns here or there and historically there nothing really new but I had never personally experienced anything quite like this I was shocked and disgusted about what was happening Russian-made products were taken off store shelves and the Russian-named ingredients, condiments, drinks and dishes were renamed restaurants refused service to Russians Russian-owned properties were altered by neighbors and reported to the authorities for potential confiscation performances of Russian music and ballet were cancelled Russian literature was taken off various curricula standing invitations to Russian athletes, artists, scholars civic clubs and associations were revoked the chief conductor of the Munich Philharmonic Russian Valery Georgiev was dismissed because he did not rush to immediately condemn Putin and all engagements of world famous opera singer Anna Trepel were cancelled because she had once said some nice things about Putin and repeatedly shaken his hand now just compare this to the public reaction in response to the wars conducted by Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden in any case, this entire Russian hysteria was a result of a scandalous one-sided indeed viciously devious propaganda lies spread by the German political elites and the mainstream media with the Greens now part of the German government in the lead having once started out as some sort of make love, not more pacifist and proponents of universal disarmament yet carefully screened and selected by the previously mentioned various internationalist elitist groups World Economic Forum, Bilderbergers and so forth selected by them the Green leadership had been turned around into the most belligerent, demented and delusional war mongers in Germany not to be outdone by any other party the most moderate party, interesting in this was in the grand German anti-Russian campaign was the SPD and the biggest opposition came from the AFD alternative for Germany Putin was presented in the media as a deranged despot posing the greatest danger to world peace his attack on the Ukraine in particular was supposed to be without any justification whatsoever the expression of sheer power lust and imperialist ambitions rarely if ever was there any mention of the prehistory of the war and to speak of US NATO provocations was anathema the Ukraine was portrayed as a completely innocent party a virgin raped by an all out evil Russia there was also no mention of the fact that whatever one might otherwise think about the war Ukraine was neither a member of NATO nor of the EU and hence Russia had not started or declared war against NATO or the EU in fact as far as NATO and EU countries were concerned Russia was in full compliance with all by and multilateral agreements and willing to fulfill all contractual obligations regarding the delivery of oil, gas, coal and so on to the contrary war was essentially declared by the US and its vessels against Russia simply by virtue of their sanctions, embargoes and their deliveries of weapons and military equipment to the Ukraine even disregarding the fact that they did not send any soldiers and the economic consequences the hardship suffered in Germany and Europe as a result of these measures then are exclusively the fault of the West but no word of that then as far as the conduct of war itself was concerned there has never been a war without destruction, deaths and atrocities and it is certainly not my intention to belittle the crimes committed by Russia day after day but as I said the Western media reported about them day after day after day at great lengths and with apparent gusto and again I have no intention to justify any of this yet in all of their reporting the German media always strictly followed the narrative as told by the Ukrainian government gang of Zelensky and his spin doctors and rarely if ever was the veracity of the narrative scrutinized or put in doubt as is especially needed in any war Zelensky's claim for instance that Russia was engaged in some sort of genocide was repeated over and over again in the Western media without any rebuke although it was obviously false if Russia had conducted its war against the Ukraine in the same way as the United States had conducted its war against Iraq for instance it could have easily bombed Kiev or Dessa and Lemberg to the ground and turned all of them into rubble with hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties but unlike the US and Iraq that did just that Russia actually tried to minimize civilian non-combatant casualties and restrict its attacks to military targets yet these attempts were greatly vitiated, undermined by the Zelensky gang's military orders of taking their own civilian population hostage to be used as human shields and to withdraw and hide in civilian facilities such as schools and hospitals for instance so as to maximize western outrage about Russian barbarism as well Zelensky's accusation of Russian genocide committed against Ukrainians is demonstrated as plain absurd because most of the combat operations took place in the Donbas region where largely Russian is spoken and which had declared its independence and the session from Ukraine and there the Ukrainian army itself was busily engaged killing other Ukrainians that is a rather strange form of genocide also while the media vilified denounced and condemned Russia and in particular Putin the same media in Germany and elsewhere in the west praised and hailed the Ukraine and Zelensky to the heavens and that despite the fact that the very same media only a couple of years ago had presented a very different picture of them but you can apparently always rely on the fact that most people's historical memory does not go back further than a few weeks or months the Ukraine was now presented as a bastion of the western values whatever that is supposed to mean nowadays except the adoption of gender racism discrimination and all that stuff while in fact at best parts of western Ukraine which had long been part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire or of Poland could be described as somewhat westernized also that the Ukraine was ranked among among the most corrupt countries in the world on a par with Russia or even worse was no longer found mentioning nor was it found worse mentioning in the media anymore that Ukraine was an economic basket case in fact since Ukrainian independence some 30 years ago its economic performance had been the worst of all former Soviet republics or satellite countries the Ukrainian GDP per capita was only about a third of Russia's it ranked well below that of Bulgaria which is the poor house in the EU and it was even surpassed by the GDP per capita of Albania so hooray there was another potential client for the German Paymaster and as for the professional Jewish Claude Zelensky the media presented him as a savior and a hero and almost Jesus-like figure he was given almost unlimited time to show off his acting skills on western TV all sorts of places and occasions including the Cannes Film Festival and he appeared with his wife even on Vogue and most western government gang leaders felt obliged to set out on some sort of pilgrimage to Kiev in order to have a selfie taking with this human wonder Johnson, Macron, Draghi, Scholz and on and on the list went indeed in the case of some of the female pilgrims such as Rosella von der Leyen head of the EU Commission and Anna-Lena Baerbock Germany's green foreign minister I had the impression that Zelensky even served them as inspiration for some wet dreams yet maybe that was just what the green, hornish, green Baerbock meant by conducting a feminist foreign policy that's what the Germans do nowadays the real Zelensky was and is something entirely different however which was well known before the outbreak of the current violent conflagrations but which since then seems to have been entirely forgotten ignored or suppressed by the western media while elected on an anti-corruption and peace with Russia and the two autonomies seeking eastern provinces platform in accordance with the Minsk Agreement which was signed by the Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France Zelensky up to form of a true politicians belied and betrayed his promises from the very outset indeed Zelensky's entire career first as an actor and then as an actor turned politician was an exercise in corruption his main sponsor and puppet master being multi-billionaire Ihor Kolomoisky a fellow Jew and one of Ukraine's most influential oligarchs and greatest beneficiaries of Ukraine's rampant corruption in 1921 by the way the US put Kolomoisky on his list of sanctioned persons and froze his US assets he now lives in Israel interestingly Kolomoisky was also the main owner of Burisma the Ukrainian oil holding that paid drug addict Hunter Biden the son of sleepy creepy Joe Biden then US vice president the moderate monthly sum of $50,000 for doing nothing in particular but providing connections as the so-called Pandora Papers discovered in 2021 revealed Kolomoisky had paid Zelensky over the years some 40 million US dollars in support of his TV career and once Zelensky political career had started to take off sums in the hundreds of millions had been funneled by Kolomoisky through various channels into various offshore accounts and invested in real estate in London, Miami, Italy as payoffs to the Zelensky clan his brothers and their various wives and I bet that the good man will also take a good cut now of the billions of Western financial aid currently flowing into Ukraine hence once Zelensky's sacrificing of the Ukrainian people would come to an end at least care has been taken of his and his family's comfortable retirement now so much for Zelensky's anti-corruption crusade and as for Zelensky's love of peace and freedom the picture did not look any better he did indeed make a brief attempt to pacify the Donbas region but as soon as he encountered the hostile opposition of the various ultra-nationalist military or paramilitary bands, regiments, battalions and so on that had been assembled in the region to fight and combat the Russian-friendly the sessionists most famously among these bands was the so-called Azov battalion founded and funded also by Kolomoisky that would make its last stand in the Azov style steel factory in Mariupol owned by another Russian entire Russian oligarch Reenat Amatov the wealthiest of all Ukrainian oligarchs indeed Zelensky folded these ultra-nationalist groups into the regular army and associated them successively in infiltrating and gradually taking over the entire Ukrainian security apparatus as soon as the Russian invasion started then he prohibited all men between the age of 18 and 60 to leave the country they were just taken hostage and condemned to fight whether they wanted to or not this while the Ukrainian oligarchs remained free of course roaming around Europe in fancy cars and also while Russians could still freely travel abroad and take their vacations wherever they were still welcome I told you about it there all here moreover our internal opponents and opposition forces were branded as hostile Russian collaborators and silenced through threats, imprisonment or even assassination Zelensky's predecessors at president Petro Poroshenko himself no friend of Russia was accused of treason or opposition parties were outlawed or media daring to deviate from the official government narrative were closed down and people showing any pro-Russian sympathies were publicly humiliated, maltreated and murdered so much for the Jesus Zelensky now coming slowly to a conclusion in going on about Ukraine and Zelensky at some time it has of course not been my purpose to whitewash Putin or excuse any of his crimes as emphasized before any interstate war is a conflict of rival criminal gangs regarding their turf rather it was my intention to write and correct the systematic imbalance and distortion created in the western narrative concerning the present conflict and to demonstrate the utter depravity of the German and not only the German ruling elites to declare its unconditional solidarity with the ruling gang of the Ukraine to send them as much money and weapons as it takes money and weapons that are not its own but that were stolen and confiscated from its own people and that will have to be paid for by its own people through massive inflation and impoverishment also while they themselves kept on living high on the hall and to send all of this loot to a foreign criminal gang that had brought the entire disaster upon itself or rather its population in listening to the criminal gang running US NATO foreign policy a gang that has demonstrated over and over again in Vietnam in Iraq, in Syria, in Libya and so forth and so forth does not care one bit about the Ukrainian population and its well-being but that was only interested about the expansion and extension of its own turf and that was willing to accept as many Ukrainian deaths and destruction as it takes to bring down or at least bleed and deadly weaken Russia as one of the only two major remaining stumbling blocks on their march toward ultimate world domination Moreover it was my intention to demonstrate how after the cruelties committed by the ruling elites in Germany against its own population for more than two years during the artificially manufactured and fabricated so-called Covid pandemic which with still no end in sight that this very same gang in a combination of cowardice and recklessness has maneuvered Germany and with it all of Europe onto the verge of a third world war even if the German government gang might not have been able to prevent the Russian invasion of the Ukraine which is doubtful it would certainly have been able to de-escalate the current conflagration and bring them to a much quicker end if only it had shown a little bit of backbone vis-à-vis its US master and like Orban and Little Hungary had abstained from its policy of sanctions and embargoes against Russia As Europe's dominant economic power and possibly in cooperation with France this would have stopped the currently still ongoing military financial gravy train in Zelensky's direction from the EU and all its members would have followed immediately what the pattern said by Germany and France Zelensky and his ruling gang would likely have been quickly overthrown even before the outbreak of the current conflict Zelensky's popularity had already dropped from initially more than 70% which he got when he was elected to something like 20% the Ukraine would have had to let its two eastern provinces go and recognize the Crimea as part of Russia and accept for itself the status of a neutral de-militarized country what in the world was so bad about that and how in the world would that have hurt or damaged German interests as soon as the old and tiresome song of the incomparable German historically guilt was intoned by the usual suspects in the US and echoed in Poland and also in Lithuania and other eastern territories any and all initial hesitancy was dropped and the German political elite along with the media fell quickly into line and demonstrated their status as obedient, servile, lapdogs and as the entire parade of hirelings, dupes and nays, fools, fakes and fraud is led by the German greens whose leadership features the worst characters ever in post-World War II Germany to reach the political top the most ignorant and the least accomplished and yet at the same time the most self-assured fanatic and megalomania people ever and hence the most dangerous people by people intent upon putting Germany on the course of de-industrialization and into an intellectual stone age but a stone age politically correct climate, race, ethnicity and gender neutral a world at a John Lennon with no country, no religion and no possession and these creatures, the green leaders are still considered to be the most popular politicians in Germany now what can you say to all this, I for one can only weep thank you very much
