La ilaha illa allahu. - (There is no God but God) (- ash hadu Allah illa allahu wa ash hadu anna Muhammad (SAW) abdoolu wa-rassoolu (I bear witness))
the question Caden asked is how did I
0:38 come to think that way and I'm going to
0:41 answer that but I want to start by
0:43 making sure
0:45 we are kind of all on the same page
0:47 about what this is
0:50 and and here's how it is explained at
0:53 least the best I can do on a basic level
0:58 one way to think about how and why
1:00 things happen in the world
1:03 is to use the notion of cause and effect
1:08 anything that happens why you chose a
1:11 red sweater to wear today or why
1:14 interest rates are going up or why there
1:16 was a Civil War in the United States
1:19 back in the 19th century whatever the
1:21 question the object of your question the
1:24 topic
1:25 you can ask and most people feel
1:28 comfortable what was the cause
1:31 of that event
1:33 and by that you both mostly mean what
1:37 were the main things that brought it
1:40 about what was happening in your head
1:43 that made you choose a red sweater you
1:46 know maybe you saw a film the other day
1:48 that really moved you and the characters
1:50 were wearing red and you were kind of
1:53 wanting to identify with them or with
1:56 the Civil War you might say the struggle
1:59 over slavery here in the United States
2:01 was the cause that then erupted in a war
2:06 in other words you look for one or two
2:10 or three major factors major causes in
2:15 philosophy we we say the determinants
2:19 what determined that you would wear a
2:22 red sweater what determined that a civil
2:25 war would happen
2:27 that way of reasoning is so common that
2:31 for an awful lot of people it seems
2:35 simply natural normal the way everybody
2:39 always thought the way you should think
2:43 but it isn't any of those things it's
2:46 not normal it's not natural and it
2:49 surely hasn't been the only way
2:52 for thousands of years people who are
2:55 interested in how things work in the
2:59 world
3:01 people who are sometimes called
3:04 ontologists how does the world work
3:08 how do we know how the world Works
3:10 people like that usually philosophers of
3:13 one kind or another
3:15 they have asked their questions and they
3:18 have figured out among many important
3:20 things
3:21 that there are other ways to look at the
3:25 world that cause an effect
3:27 and one of the most important in my mind
3:31 has been the one that got the name over
3:34 determination and the idea there was
3:37 that things that happen are never the
3:41 result of one or two or three causes
3:45 they're always the result
3:48 of all the other things going on in the
3:52 world
3:53 and that things to be explained if
3:57 you're really going to explain why
4:00 something happened whether it's your
4:02 choice of the red sweater
4:04 or of the Civil War you're going to have
4:08 to look at all of the causes and there
4:13 are get ready millions of them in fact
4:16 in philosophy we say the causes of
4:19 everything that happens are infinite in
4:22 number
This has been(?) always the Muslim understanding of things - at least from what I've learned and know...nothing happens per chance but Allah is in control

Russia Kherson Offensive; Putin Rejects Globalism, Fair World System, Warns of Great Dangers Ahead Alexander Mercouris 124K views 23 hours ago (10/28/22)
but anyway let's get on with Putin's speech and this is
14:37 delivered to the valdoi group this is a meeting that takes place every year
14:44 bringing together various um
14:49 intellectuals heavyweights foreign policy experts that sort of thing it's
14:55 it's a place where the Russian leadership meets and discusses the broad
15:00 range of foreign economic and such policies and some
15:07 people have compared it with Davos and the meeting of the wef at
15:14 Davos they say that it's a kind of Russian equivalent to Davos well perhaps
15:21 it is certainly the Russian greater the good do tend to meet at valdi but
15:26 regardless of that there is usually in fact There is almost always a big speech
15:32 from Putin at this conference and
15:37 we got such a speech this time and it should be understood in my opinion
15:46 as the last
15:52 in the sequence of speeches which Putin has been making which extend
15:59 all the way back to that speech he made in 2007 at the Munich security
16:05 conference in which he first criticized the unipolar system the
16:12 um Global dominance of the United States and said that this was something that
16:19 was dangerous and wrong and of course since making that speech in 2007 Putin's
16:26 language has steadily strengthened he's now become an outright critic of
16:32 globalization of the American hegemonic system as he describes it of the
16:40 collective West and all the rest and he sometimes used extremely harsh language
16:46 I mean he's referred to the United States and the Western powers on
16:52 occasions as the Empire of Lies for example and he's made some very very
16:59 strong comments of that nature well in this speech and in his subsequent q a
17:06 which by the way was interminably long as many Putin's q and A's are
17:13 Putin was much more measured in fact of this series of speeches going all the
17:19 way back to that speech Putin gave way back in 2007 in Munich this was for me
17:26 Far and Away the most philosophical and perhaps because of that it was also the
17:34 most temperate and Putin um actually quoted a string a Russian
17:41 intellectuals both people on the right like Alexander solgenitsin and people on
17:49 the well you could call them the left like the philosopher Alexander zenoviev
17:54 first time I think he's ever referenced zenoviev in a speech which is
18:00 interesting Zenovia um who passed away some years ago is
18:05 becoming an increasingly influential figure in Russian uh in Russian
18:10 commentary and thinking as I've noticed but anyways the first time to my
18:15 knowledge that he referenced zenoviev and of course he did reference Genovia
18:21 and interestingly enough Putin also acknowledged that these quotes from some of these
18:28 philosophers were not quotes that he himself knew or found that they were
18:34 actually found for him by his staffers this is the first time I've seen Putin
18:40 make that kind of admission in a speech and again it perhaps conveys the rather
18:48 relaxed tone of its contents very different by the
18:53 way as I'll discuss in a moment with the way in which this speech was has been
19:00 talked about in the west but anyway very philosophical speech very
19:08 moderately worded speech now its essence
19:14 comes back to something that Putin has been talking about for many many many
19:20 years now in the Q a Putin did discuss at some length the current
19:27 conflict in Ukraine itself but in the speech he said very little
19:34 about him most of the speech was devoted to
19:41 the global problems created by the
19:46 West's attempts and I I would stress Putin talks about the West he justifies
19:53 that he's used to that expression early on in the speech he accepts that the
19:59 West is not a monolithic block he says it's to a great extent an artificial
20:04 concept but he does say that there's some justification in using that expression and he does go on and use
20:12 that expression even though he makes it very clear as he progresses that of
20:17 course at the core of the West is the United States and the people who lead
20:22 the United States anyway what Putin says is that the United States the collective
20:30 West since the collapse of the Soviet Union has become as the Russians would
20:35 say dizzy with success it imagine that it would be in a position to direct and
20:42 shape the progress of human civilization it became convinced that it had all the
20:50 secrets about how human civilization ought to develop and
20:57 that it has been trying to impose the neoliberal model on the world the
21:04 neoliberal model of democracy all countries must share the same kind
21:10 of democratic structures or what Putin called quasi-democratic structures as those
21:17 which the West have there must be no deviations from this that they must accept a certain homogeneity in culture
21:26 and in cultural and lifestyle choices I have to choose again very careful words
21:33 here though I should say for once Putin did the same in the speech itself
21:40 and he also spoke about how at the same time as the West the collective West as
21:49 I said as he puts it has been trying to impose these structures on everyone else
21:55 in the world on every other culture and society and State
22:01 it has been acting to obstruct and prevent their independent development he
22:09 actually makes a really rather um powerful point which is that the West
22:15 not only tries to block other forms of
22:22 independent development by other countries by other nations out of
22:29 a belief in the in the superiority of its own model and out of pure commercial
22:36 reasons but because if a certain
22:42 brittleness a lack of confidence a fear that if other countries
22:49 are allowed to develop by themselves developing their own models by
22:56 themselves they might actually prove to be more successful than the West
23:03 thereby calling into question the West's belief that it represents the only
23:11 conceivable future I mean these were his words I take these
23:17 from this is the translation the official translation from the Kremlin website a direct threat to the political
23:24 economic and ideological Monopoly of the West lies in the fact that the world can
23:30 come up with alternative social models that are more fair effective
23:37 I want to emphasize this more effective today brighter more appealing than the
23:45 ones that currently exist these models will definitely come about this is
23:51 inevitable by the way U.S political scientists and analyte analysts also
23:58 write about this truthfully their government is not listening to what they
24:03 say although it cannot avoid seeing these Concepts in political science magazines and mentioned in discussions
24:13 so the West has an ideological need
24:19 to block the development the free development of other societies using
24:26 models different from those of the West itself because it cannot tolerate a
24:33 successful alternative to itself because such a successful alternative might
24:41 undermine the authority of the West's own neoliberal model now has been said
24:49 as Putin has pointed out before but to my knowledge it's the first time
24:56 that a world leader has actually come out and spoken about it in quite such a
25:02 straightforward way and Putin
25:08 also talked about again culture
25:13 and life start your choices and he said that the important thing
25:20 is not to try to impose a culture or lifestyle choice
25:27 but to respect choices and very intriguingly he said that that
25:35 can include respecting the choices that the West
25:41 itself makes so he says this
25:48 Traditional Values are not a rigid set of postulates that everyone must adhere
25:53 to the difference of the so-called Leo liberal values is that they are unique in each particular instance because they
26:01 stem from the traditions of a particular society its culture and historical
26:07 background this is why Traditional Values cannot be imposed on anyone in
26:13 other words everyone has their own Traditional Values which can evolve and
26:20 change as the society that produces them changes but it's not for all Outsiders
26:26 to come on come in disrespect those Traditional Values that are there and
26:33 seek to impose idea its own ideas and then Putin goes on to say they must be
26:38 they must simply be respected and everything that every nation has been
26:43 choosing for itself over centuries must be handled with care
26:52 this is how we understand Traditional Values and the majority of humanity
26:58 share and accept our approach this is understandable because the traditional
27:03 societies of the East Latin America Africa and Eurasia form the basis of
27:10 World Civilization and then he goes on to say respect for
27:16 the ways and customs of peoples and civilizations is in everyone's interests
27:21 in fact this is also in the interest of the West which is quickly becoming a
27:27 minority in the international Arena as it loses its dominance of course the
27:35 Western minorities right to its own cultural identity must be insured and respected but
27:44 importantly on an equal footing with the rights of Every Other Nation
27:50 if Western Elites believe they can have their people and their societies Embrace
27:58 what I believe are strange and trendy ideas like dozens of genders or gay
28:04 pride parades so be it let them do as they please but they
28:11 certainly have no right to tell others to follow in their steps
28:17 and then Putin goes on to say that as far as Russia is concerned it
28:24 does not seek to impose its ideas its own social norms its own economic models
28:31 on other societies and other nations
28:37 um Russia does not interfere in such matters and has no intention of doing so
28:43 unlike the West we mind our own business we are hoping that pragmatism will
28:49 Triumph and Russia's dialogue with a genuine traditional West as well as with
28:55 other co-equal Development Centers will become a major contribution to the
29:01 construction of a multi-polar world order and then he goes on to say again
29:08 at a very considerable length in various places that in fact the Russians still
29:15 hope one day that when the West finally comes to its senses when it understands that the
29:23 forces of multi-polarity are irresistible that the unipolar moment
29:29 that it is clinging onto has indeed passed and cannot be revived that at
29:36 some point all the various elements that make up the global system or the various
29:42 cultures societies Nations Sovereign Nations he's very clear about the need
29:48 for Nations to remain sovereignty Sovereign that they will all finally be able to do that which they have been
29:55 unable to do up to now which is negotiate and come to sustainable
30:02 peaceful understandings with each other um through equal dialogue it might be at
30:11 the moment a rather naive you but it's what Putin is talking about at the
30:17 present time and then he goes on to say that Russia utterly Rejects
30:26 what attitudes which he says are very prevalent in the
30:32 west at the present time and which he doesn't hesitate at times to refer to as
30:37 neocolonial imperialist and even racist and he says that I will be direct about
30:47 certain things as an independent and distinctive civilization Russia has
30:54 never considered and does not consider itself an enemy of the West American
31:00 phobia anglophobia francophobia and germanophobia are the same forms of
31:07 racism as russophobia or anti-Semitism and incidentally xenophobia in all its
31:16 guises um and he then talks
31:22 a little bit in contradiction to some of the other things he says about the two acts 2s at least two and maybe more but
31:31 two at least the west of traditional primarily Christian values Freedom
31:36 patriotism great culture and now Islamic values as well a substantial part of the
31:43 population in many Western countries follows Islam and interesting
31:49 uh uh an interesting idea to reach out to the predominantly immigrant
31:57 populations Islamic immigrant populations that are now so now so prevalent in Western countries and to
32:04 conflate them with those of the traditional old west if you like I wonder I suspect
32:12 many people in the west might raise their eyebrows at that but anyway that's what Putin said and then he goes on to
32:19 say that this traditional West is close to us we share its common even ancient
32:26 roots but there is also a different West aggressive Cosmopolitan and neocolonial
32:33 it is acting as a tool of neoliberal Elites naturally Russia will never
32:40 reconcile itself to the dictates of the West
32:45 and he then talks about how the Russians have at various times reached out to the
32:52 West how they did for example after the Jihadi wars in the Caucasus which were
32:59 taking place when he became president in which the West was covertly backing so
33:05 he says how despite all of that the Russians still wanted to develop good
33:11 friendly relations with the west and how in fact they found that every attempt
33:17 that they made to try to establish a modus vivendi with the West Was Then
33:23 thrown back into their faces and um he says that this is unacceptable and
33:30 that Russia is simply upholding its right to exist and to develop free freely we will not become a new Hagerman
33:38 ourselves Russia is not suggesting replacing a unipolar world with a
33:44 bipolar tripolar or other dominating order or replacing Western domination
33:50 with domination from the east north or south this would inevitably lead to
33:56 another impasse in other words what the Russians want is a stable International
34:02 system in which everybody's views are respected where nobody seeks to dominate
34:08 or dictate to anybody else certainly not on matters of culture or economics or
34:16 lifestyle issues or such things and such a world as he believes would be a great
34:23 deal more hormone harmonious and stable than the present one and he quotes a
34:32 Russian philosopher Nikolai danilevski who said and says that danilevski
34:38 believed that progress did not consist of everyone going in the same direction
34:44 this would only result in progress coming to a halt progress lies in
34:49 Walking the field that represents Humanity's historical activity walking
34:55 in all directions no civilization can take pride in being the height of human
35:03 development well that's the essence it seems to me of
35:10 what Putin said the philosophical core of it uh respect every country must
35:16 respect each other there must be no single Center he's scathing by the way
35:21 about the rules-based order he says what rules
35:27 nobody even knows what those rules are and they change from one day to the next and the West always reinterprets those
35:34 rules in order to um in order to in order to serve its own interests and
35:43 that is in the nature of rules that are imposed from one Center upon everybody
35:48 else and he talks about how that is not a mechanism for stability that it is a
35:56 mechanism for chaos he also then goes into a lot of other details he talks
36:02 about for example the dollar the excessive
36:08 use by the west of its control of the financial system the world financial
36:13 system he enlarged on this considerably by the way in his q a but the essence of
36:20 what he says said was this that the world needs to understand the West needs
36:26 to understand that there is a multiplicity of
36:32 different civilizational and cultural models all of which find themselves uh
36:39 structured around sovereign states that the only way to build a sustainable
36:46 balance is for each to respect the other not to seek to engage in Crusades or
36:55 moral Crusades or other Crusades trying to change society's direct or shape the
37:01 whole structure of the world impose one single economic social or legalistic or
37:09 quasi-legalistic model which is identical for everyone and Putin also
37:17 said and he's quite interestingly spoke about the need that for the need for democracy
37:23 to be strongest in the sphere of international relations
37:29 in other words each state each Nation should be treated equally and there
37:37 should be a genuine partnership and democracy in
37:43 international relations with the rights of countries even Gulf monarchies for
37:49 example being respected alongside those of the democracies or quasi
37:58 democracies or pretended democracies liberal democracies if you like of the West
38:05 itself quite an interesting speech as I said very
38:11 philosophically structured very temperate in town
38:18 once more offering once the um
38:24 present crisis passes away forward towards a
38:34 New Balance even a new dialogue between Russia and the West as I said the most
38:41 temperate of the speeches that he has written speaking for myself I found one
38:47 of the most interesting passages um was one in which he
38:54 implicitly criticized a book which I
38:59 personally detest and that is Carl poppers famous book The Open society and
39:08 its enemies now in doing so I think Putin well by the way he didn't actually
39:14 mention Papa and he didn't in fact mention the book so if you read his words it's quite clear that that is what
39:21 he's referencing and I think he went a bit too far in stating its importance he
39:28 said that this was this this was a turning point because it meant that
39:34 Classical liberalism the liberalism of well Voltaire and people like that the
39:40 liberalism that accepts and respects alternative points of view
39:46 is replaced by new model where there is something called the open society
39:53 which is threatened by all sorts of enemies who must be canceled
40:00 and again it's perhaps as I said taking that book
40:05 further than is Justified the influence of that book further than it's than it's
40:12 Justified but of course it's clearly a jab at those who cite that particular
40:18 book Popper's work um as a sort of text Bro cool
40:24 philosophical Bible or plan of action whatever you like to call it and also
40:30 it's another dig a really clever dig at the council culture which Putin says is
40:38 now so widely expressed in the west anyway now it's quite interesting now
40:46 at the end he did say that the situation is in fact
40:53 becoming quite dangerous at the same time and the speech ended with these
40:59 words the collapse of the Soviet Union upset the equilibrium of the geopolitical
41:06 forces the well West felt as a winner and declared a unipolar world
41:11 arrangement in which only his will culture and interests have the right to
41:16 exist now this historical period of boundless Western dominance in world
41:23 affairs is coming to an end the unipolar world is being relegated into the past
41:29 we are at a historical Crossroads we are
41:34 full we are in full probably the most dangerous
41:40 unpredictable and at the same time most important decade since the end of World
41:47 War II the West is unable to rule humanity single-handedly and the
41:53 majority of Nations no longer want to put up with this this is the main
41:59 contradiction to the of the new era to cite a classic
42:07 this is a revolutionary situation to some extent the Elites at cannot and
42:15 people do not want to live like that any longer
42:21 and the state this state of affairs is fraught with global conflicts or a whole
42:28 chain of conflicts which poses a threat to humanity including to the West itself
42:34 today's main historical task is to resolve this contradiction in a way that
42:41 is constructive and positive that's a very powerful
42:48 section with which basically he ends his speech and the classic that he's quoting
42:55 the references to a revolutionary situation I'm not going to be
43:01 I'm not absolutely categorical about this but I think that he's essentially
43:07 actually quietly referencing a work of Lenin's that this is a period of
43:15 enormous turbulence the new world is appearing the old globalist
43:24 neoliberal U.S dominated Western world is however unwilling to give up it's
43:33 hegemonic position and as a result there is
43:40 potential for things going wrong for a great deal of violence for
43:47 in effect revolutionary change I said that it was a quote from
43:54 I think he's referencing Lenin but of course another Marxist thinker Antonio
44:00 Graham she once said that the old is dying and the new cannot be born in this
44:06 ignorant interregnum there arises a great diversity of morbid symptoms
44:13 others by the way have quoted Graham's grams she is saying that in the period
44:18 between the new and the old there will be an age of monsters I'm not sure whether it's gramshi that
44:26 Putin has in mind I think is more likely Lenin actually the expression revolutionary situation to my mind
44:33 points to learning but anyway in a sense that's less important than the than the
44:40 underlying message that this is a period of tremendous and
44:46 dangerous change that given the determination of the western powers to
44:54 hold on to their Global Leadership there is a very real risk that they will do
45:01 something dangerous and irresponsible and Reckless and that
45:08 means that the next decade will be an extremely dangerous one
45:13 I don't think looking at the current International situation most people
45:20 would seriously dispute that whether the vision for the future
45:26 the Putin outlines have a great community of Nations each going its own
45:33 way domestically developing its economy and its culture
45:41 but acting in harmony with all other nations whether that is a practical one
45:48 whether that is a realistic vision of the future well that's another question
45:53 again and it's not one that I propose to explore in this program what I will say
45:59 again is that it's a vision
46:06 which many especially in the global South will be strongly attracted to and
46:13 in fact are strongly attracted to it is why
46:19 Putin and Russia are winning friends in places like India China Africa the
46:27 Middle East even amongst the gulf monarchies Latin America and such places
46:33 where American leaders and Western leaders preach where um
46:39 where people like Joseph Burrell contrast the beautiful garden that is
46:47 the European that is Europe either European Union with the terrifying jungle that is supposed to
46:54 exist um elsewhere in the world that is what Burrell said in a recent speech to
47:02 European diplomats to considerable outrage around the world where people
47:07 like Burrell talk like that where um American leaders always talk about
47:13 you know America's support for freedom and democracy about America's
47:19 determination to uphold its values which in effect means imposing its values on
47:28 others Putin says let everybody mind their own business
47:34 let everybody develop as they choose in the way they choose developing their own
47:41 societies their own cultures their own lifestyle choices as suits them but let
47:49 us all cooperate together peacefully for the good of the world and in order to
47:56 maintain peace and let's do so with respect with respect for each other
48:03 and in a truly equal Democratic way it's
48:08 not surprising that this is a vision as I said that is much more attractive to
48:14 people in the global South than the Western one which many people in the
48:21 global South and not just the global South East Asia must find overbearing arrogant
48:29 and in some respects as Putin says neocolonial and oppressive so one can
48:37 see as I said the power of this message and I get to say something else I don't have any doubt myself that put it
48:45 believes it that he's sincere he's personally sincere in what he says I
48:52 don't think he always thought this way I think he has gradually found his way
48:58 there but that's the position he's taking now and notice that he says it's in the
49:05 interests of the West to actually accept this model they can't
49:11 hold on to their hegemony but if they drop these dangerous ideas
49:19 which carry with them these terrible risks of
49:25 a existential crisis existential for all of humanity
49:31 then they're entitled to their culture their lifestyle choices in the same way as
49:39 everyone else so he's actually also reaching out to people in the west he has a very
49:46 interesting passage by the way in which he resurrects the idea of the greater Eurasia uh plan he says you know
49:55 eurasia's coming together China Central Asia Russia Iran turkey soon
50:02 they're all big building up all of these um Integrated Systems
50:08 um Europe which is part of the Great Eurasian continent in which the majority
50:16 of humanity lives Europe could also fully participate and benefit from that
50:23 the only reason the Europeans are not doing that is because they have they
50:28 cling on to this misplaced belief in their own superiority which is leading
50:36 them down a dead end so quite a powerful quite an interesting quite a
50:42 philosophical speech profoundly different from the way it's been reported in the west I've seen
50:49 suggestions that it was some kind of a rant well as you can see it was nothing
50:54 like that and notice how the more benign comments that Putin makes the reaching
51:01 out to the West the exception of the acceptance of Western lifestyle choices
51:08 if that's what western people want none of that of course is discussed or talked
51:14 about a few other things that I did find very
51:19 interesting both mentioned by Putin in the speech itself and also mentioned in
51:24 the Q a this speech is the closest that Putin has come to an admission
51:30 that in fact uh he underestimated he personally
51:36 underestimated Russia's resilience in the economic War he says he said very interestingly that
51:44 the Russians had um trapped themselves into a position not
51:50 just of economic dependence on the west but of psychological dependence so that
51:56 they convince themselves that if the West pressed a button and did certain
52:01 things everything in Russia would fall apart and now that it hasn't fallen
52:07 apart this has been for Russia a liberating moment it means that they can now
52:14 with far greater confidence move forward build up their economy strengthen their
52:22 society in the way that suits them best the previous model
52:30 in which the Russians were always saying to themselves if we do this how will the
52:36 risk West respond if we cut interest rates will the wet will you know we have a massive Capital outflow to the West if
52:44 we raise interest rates will Western hot money pour in all that kind of thing now
52:51 that that's all gone now that the Russians don't need to worry about those things they can get about sorting out
52:58 their economy and their society better so that was the most interesting passage
53:05 or rather passages in both the speech and the Q a pushing himself in effect
53:12 admitting the extent to which Russians in the plural but implicitly
53:18 including himself underestimated Russia's ability to withstand the sanctions and the sense of
53:27 liberation that their success in withstanding the
53:32 sanctions has given them he also made it very clear that as far as he's
53:38 considered the Russians did not underestimate the difficulties that would be involved in a war in Ukraine he
53:46 he went into this considerable length he talked about how the West had been
53:52 steadily building up Ukraine's forces over the eight years since the signing of the Minsk agreement which he clearly
53:59 now believes was always intended as a trick and that Russia has gradually come
54:07 to accept that peaceful settlement is not going to happen anytime soon and that Russia needs to
54:14 agree to prepare for essentially a long wall that he seemed confident
54:21 about its eventual outcome and he also had much to say about other
54:30 things about China and its successes about XI Xin ping and his friend things
54:38 of that kind but overall as I said and very interesting very philosophical
54:46 speech from Putin I don't think any other leader in the world
54:53 at this time is capable of making a speech like this actually what people in
55:01 Russia make of these kind of speeches I simply don't know I suspected passes well over the heads of most people but
55:08 in terms of the audience it's very intellectual erudite multinational
55:14 audience that he's talking to invaldei well there of course is probably taken
55:20 very seriously indeed but anyway whatever a very interested very measured
55:26 speech very different as I said from the way in which it's been reported in the
55:32 west where it's passed off as some sort of hysterical anti-western rant one very last thing
55:40 about it Putin once again made clear that the Russians have no plan to use
55:48 nuclear weapons in Ukraine in fact he spoke about the Wayne which the Western
55:54 Powers appear to have nuclear weapons on their brain and said some very
56:00 uncomplementary things about the British prime minister who's just ceased to be
56:06 prime minister Liz truss who made certain very Reckless comments or these
56:11 Putin says they were very Reckless at a time when she was foreign secretary but
56:17 for me this has never been an issue I've never at any time felt that the Russians
56:24 had were suggesting or broaching the possibility that Russia might use
56:30 nuclear weapons in Ukraine in fact Putin pointedly reminded everybody
56:38 that the only country which has used nuclear weapons and done so moreover
56:44 against the power Japan that had no nuclear weapons and was all at that time
56:52 on the brink of military defeat was the United States and he said look at our
56:58 military Doctrine and you will understand that the kind of things people are talking about in terms of us
57:04 using nuclear weapons in Ukraine is impossible so an interesting speech all
57:11 together shows Putin that he's most reflective in Practical terms
57:18 it's a speech designed both
57:24 to justify Russia's conduct and Russia's actions to the Russian people
57:31 but also unquestionably to appeal to the global South
57:37 which it is now successfully doing well that's my discussion of Putin's

Dear Alexander, it very often gets overlooked but the US used nuclear weapons not only against Japan, it was also used against Serbia and Syria as well. Not conventional ones of course, ammo with depleted uranium was used and that still is a nuclear type of weapon. And people are still dying from various types of cancer as a result.

@igor cokrlic KVM head William Walker later described what he had seen:"In a gully above the village, I saw the first body. It was covered with a blanket, and when it was pulled back, I saw there was no head on the corpse — just an incredibly bloody mess on the neck. Someone told me that the skull was on the other side of the gully and asked if I wanted to see that. But I said, "No, I've pretty much got this story." [Three more bodies were found.] They looked like older men, with gray hair or white hair ... They had wounds on their heads, and there was blood on their clothes. [Then a larger group of bodies.] I didn't count them. I just looked and saw a lot of holes in the head - in the top of the head and the back of the head. A couple had what appeared to be bullet wounds knocking out their eyes. I was told there were other bodies further up and over the crest of the hill, and I was asked by journalists and inspectors if I was going to go up and see the rest. I said, 'I've seen enough.'"[18]

@andrew30 this reply is forIgorcokrlicThis account has been disputed by the findings of a Finnish forensics team called in to investigate the incident. The team was firstly critical of the fact that, in the haste to describe the incident at Racak as a massacre, basic crime scene procedures had not been observed. Three days after the event, the Finnish forensic team reported that at no point was the scene of the incident isolated to stop unauthorised access. The report stated, “The scene should then be photographed and videotaped, any evidence be collected and victims localised and marked at site... victims should then be placed in individual bodybags for transport to the morgue. With respect to Racak none of this was done or was done partially and improperly”. The team had no independent verification of the massacre and had to rely on information from the OSCE and European Union observers or the press. Other findings show that only one dead victim was a woman. One victim was under 15 years of age. Six had suffered single gunshot wounds. Most of the 44 were covered by multiple wounds from different angles and elevations, characteristic of a firefight rather than a close range execution. Only one had been shot at close range and no signs of post-mortem mutilations were found. The team could not confirm that the victims were from Racak.

A thoroughly incisive analysis done with mathematical precision in examining all the factors in an equation. The west, like those in Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" could extend their knowledge of their understanding of what is of political and moral worth if only they had the will, and common decency, to do so!

iEarlGray has the entire video of Putin's speech, questions and answers, with translation to English. Lasting more than 4 hours it is worth listening to. Putin addressed many subjects of interest to western people. Putin looks very healthy, very calm, explained Russian points of view with clarity. Putin comes across as very reasonable, conciliatory and very firm at the same time, who wants peace and respect among nations, different cultures and choice of paths for the future. Putin deserves respect and to be listened to by western peoples.

My mother used to say the Germans see themselves as a Master Race (Herrenrasse) and so do the English. The Americans (especially the WASP) post WW2 began to see themselves as the Masters of the Master Races and that has led to where we are at right now. A new world order as envisioned by Putin is possible if and when based on trade not war. That concept is as old as humanity. So let us all hope and pray for the best outcome.

GOOGLE: Latinx - One answer: What is Latinx vs Latin?
Latinx is essentially a non-binary form of Latino or Latina. The suffix “-x” replaces the “-o” or “-a” corresponding to masculine or feminine, allowing the word to resist the gender binary. (In Spanish-speaking countries, the term Latine with the suffix “-e” is circulating as an alternative to the -o/a binary.)Oct 6, 2021
MIGHT UPSET SOME TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE TWO GENDERS IN THE HUMAN RACE AND THIS IS HOW REPRODUCTION WORKS IN THE ANIMAL AND PLANT KINGDOM AS WELL - SPERM, SEED OR POLLEN AND OVARY, UTERUS, EGG.
I don't like this, feels like its usurping history to call people from a region of the globe not human (i know a tiny bit about Spanish and the male versions of words are what is used for the larger plural use - same I think with most languages - female is more explicitly female). (Also, in modern language and times, females will often use the phrase "what's up guys" even when talking to a group of women - I don't think anyone has a problem with that - and shouldn't, your much too sensitive then, like, ridiculously sensitive - I think you might have some emotional or spiritual issues going on if you do get irked or offended by that and i think maybe just attention and drama seeking -> or seeking to hurt others and gaining some kind of ego win and sadistic satisfaction from others suffering...)

Good looking books (except for the first one, which I imagine could be an important one but I don't think I need to read its propaganda) I added to my wish list while watching the above video and some nice FB pictures/posts:
-------------------------
Alright, I didn't know much about this guy Andrew Tate but I already really like him and what he has to say anyway Allah Akbar...sounds like a great guy I loved this talk. I need to grow confidence and take good action, may Allah bless and forgive us and guide us a-right:
- The beauty of Islam - anybody, no matter their past, can become Muslim and Allah knows best - we are one humanity - we are human - we have to poop and pee and if we don't we die. We are the needy, the poor - God is above all things.
Some curse words in this video but its really good:
Mahi 10 hours ago Beautiful discussion we can really see how genuine Andrew Tate is and his natural progression to Islam Andrew Rai 2 hours ago (edited) I’m not Muslim but what these guys are saying makes sense Elizabeth Awadallah 1 hour ago As a revert Muslimah I had and still have my challenges with born Muslims. I had an older lady walk up to me the first time I step foot inside a Masjid. She was upset that I was wearing nails and wasn't covered properly. At the moment I wasn't Muslim yet, I was intrested. I thank Allah for guiding me and for keeping me strong. I fought hard for those comments not to get the best of me. 13 yrs later I am a stronger Muslimah, still have challenges but we need to learn how to move forward with the help of Allah. Alhamdulillah for Islam, without it I would be lost. chris solanki 1 hour ago Andrew Tate has been a part of my own journey to islam, i converted 3 months ago. This guy himself is now a Muslim, alhamdulilah. - from India. Why What 2 hours ago Salam Alaykum dear brothers and sisters, I am a Irish Traveller/Gypsy. I took my shahadah a few years ago. I was a devout Catholic and tried looking into the Quran to refute Muslims. But I fell in love with the Quran and Islam and have been a Muslim now ever since. What I love about Islam is that anyone can be a Muslim. Black, White, Brown. European, Asian or African. Poor or Rich. Young or Old. All are welcome. Dulla Mulla 2 hours ago What a great discussion! So happy for Tate. May Allah be with him. Davey of Yeshua 4 hours ago I'm not a Muslim however this guy is on point with that's occuring today in Western society WannabeSage 2 hours ago (edited) This man has reached damn accurate conclusions about life on his own. How much will he benefit from Quran now. Masha Allah.

welcome back to
0:18 the proof that Islam is the truth where
0:20 in these episodes we've been discussing
0:22 some of the amazing scientific miracles
0:26 of the Quran information in a book 1400
0:31 years old that every Muslim believes is
0:33 the uncreated word of Allah the creator
0:36 of the heavens and the Earth revealed
0:38 for the benefit and the guidance of all
0:40 of humanity
0:41 but it's not just a claim that we make
0:43 it's something that we can back up with
0:46 evidence and we believe that for any
0:49 rational human being any thinking person
0:52 who takes the time and takes the energy
0:54 and takes the effort to look at these
0:56 evidences and examine them
0:59 dispassionately will come to know that
1:01 truly Islam is what it claims to be the
1:04 religion that has been revealed by God
1:06 the Creator for the guidance and the
1:08 benefit of all of mankind
I want to mention God mentions in The
18:22 Quran some amazing things about the
18:24 human beings and one of the things is
18:27 about our nerves here is a very
18:29 frightening and terrifying passage of
18:31 the Quran it's mentioned in the 75th
18:34 chapter in Aya's 3 4. does mankind think
18:38 that we cannot assemble his bones nay we
18:42 are able to put together in perfect
18:44 order the very tips of his fingers God
18:46 is telling us he can recreate us on this
18:49 day this terrifying day this frightening
18:51 day the day of judgment he is able to
18:54 recreate you even if you are dust even
18:56 your bones to the very tip of your
18:58 finger why the very tip of your finger
19:00 of course you've all heard of
19:02 fingerprinting haven't you
19:04 every single human being's fingerprint
19:06 is unique why did God mention the
19:09 fingerprint why did God mention the tip
19:12 of the finger this is the uniqueness of
19:15 the human being God is telling us look I
19:17 can recreate you even to this fingertip
19:20 that is the power that I have even to
19:22 your most unique attribute I can create
19:26 into that be mindful be careful I will
19:29 create you again on the day of judgment
19:31 and I will judge you and ask you about
19:33 every single thing that you have done
19:35 this is not common knowledge how did
19:38 anyone 1 400 years ago know about
19:40 fingerprinting and Allah warns us in the
19:44 fourth chapter of the Quran in the 56th
19:46 verse
19:47 those who reject our signs we shall soon
19:51 cast them into the Hellfire and as often
19:54 as their Skins are roasted through we
19:57 shall change them for fresh skins so
20:00 they may truly taste the penalty for
20:03 Allah is exalted in power of the wise
20:06 this is a very frightening description
20:08 of the Hellfire God is going to burn the
20:10 skin and recreate the skin and burn the
20:13 skin so the people in the Hellfire will
20:15 taste the punishment why is the Quran
20:17 saying that it is only recently been
20:20 known and discovered that when the skin
20:23 is burnt a person does not feel any pain
20:27 that's why when a person suffers severe
20:30 burns a doctor will prick the skin to
20:34 see if the person feels pain if he feels
20:37 pain there are still nerve receptors
20:39 left if he does not that means his skin
20:41 has been so badly burnt he cannot feel
20:44 pain so if God put people in the
20:46 Hellfire and the help burned their skins
20:48 after that they will not feel the pain
20:50 so Allah is going to recreate the skin
20:53 again so they will keep on tasting the
20:56 punishment it is a very severe warning
20:59 from the one who has created you he
21:02 knows you better than you know yourself
21:04 and he is warning you in his book of his
21:07 knowledge and his ability that if you do
21:09 not believe in him and follow his
21:11 guidance see what is waiting for those
21:14 people who reject the faith
21:18 my dear listeners
21:20 we have only one more thing we want to
21:23 mention the tree of zakum which will be
21:27 the food of Sinners and it will be like
21:29 boiling oil that will boil in their
21:32 bellies like the boiling of scolding
21:34 water taste this Allah says no
21:36 verily you pretending to be the Mighty
21:40 the generous look at those arrogant
21:42 people pretending to be Mighty
21:44 pretending to be generous but face the Z
21:46 tree of zakum that will boil in your
21:48 belly and it says they will drink a
21:50 water that cuts their bowels to Pieces
21:52 it is very interesting that thermal
21:54 receptors are not present in the
21:56 intestines but it is in the bowels and
22:00 the contents and The receptors and the
22:02 bowels are highly sensitive it's a very
22:06 very sensitive area and that is where [anal receptors - very sensitive probably - why else would people have anal sex]
22:08 pain is initiated it's not a common
22:10 knowledge
22:11 1400 years ago but it is a fact that is
22:15 mentioned in the Quran as a stark
22:17 warning to all those people who reject
22:20 faith in God God has combined the
22:22 scientific facts with the severe
22:25 warnings of those who disbelieve in him
22:28 our invitation is to invite you to his
22:31 Mercy to his guidance and his
22:33 forgiveness by accepting these truths
22:36 the proof that Islam is the truth join
22:39 us in the next episode for some amazing
22:42 Prophecies of the Prophet Muhammad and
22:46 until then may God's peace and blessings
22:48 and guidance be with you
