Vice President Trump and Ukrainian President Putin

The debate about Joe Biden's cognitive impairment lasts about two years. Sometimes he behaved strangely, sometimes didn't get it right or said things that weren't true, like his son had died in Iraq. However, the liberal establishment considered any doubt about its cognitive state as Russian propaganda or ultra-conservative conspiracy.

When Biden was lost at the top of the June G7, the accreditation agencies of the Ministry of Truth were in his defense without shame. Two weeks later, during the election debate for the presidency, Biden clearly demonstrated that he has mental health problems. Then the same people who in the last two years had appointed him as a Kremlin propagandist or far-right propagandist to anyone who indicated Biden's cognitive decline, expressed the need to change the Democratic candidate to the presidential elections; the New York Times itself brought the petition to the editorial. From there, we know that Biden, or rather those who run him, have refused to leave the election, even though he has continued to give headlines such as that of Ukraine by Putin or that of the United States by Trump, among others.

The instrument of many liberals and progressives is to fight the extreme right, to denounce its lies and conspiracies. To dismantle the story “Anti-System” the establishment always uses data and supposed empirical evidence, because it is nice to think that the truth is on your side and that you face the irrationality of ordinary people who do not understand things well and fall into the temptation of conspiracies. However, that is nothing more than a tale, because the radical right does not have the monopoly of lies and conspiracy theories. It also uses the liberal establishment a great deal: the Russians participate in the results of almost all the world elections, Moscow has plans to control the entire European continent, the Russians like to bomb their controlled territories and the nuclear power stations that are in their hands. What is more, these Slavic tatars feel a great fondness to exploit infrastructures such as their Nord Stream I and II pipelines.

If you don't talk about patriarchy, capitalism, imperialism and public policies, political struggle can become a competition between conspiracies.

The lies, manipulations and conspiracies promoted by power are not so identified by the majority of the population. However, things are changing, because more and more people are angry with the system and want to express their anger through the choices they consider to be disruptive. The lies, manipulations and conspiracies that come from power will be increasingly focused, while those of the presumed “anti-systems” that see them as saviors will not see them or detract from them.

Trump has seen what the media has done to hide Biden’s state of mental health and now some of the advocates of empirical reason (sic) are fueling the idea of Trump’s self-attack. These liberal conspiracionists tell us that Trump was willing to risk his life with a bullet that could randomly kill from space-time uncontrollability. When all the surveys gave him the majority. There is the problem, which today is also a great deal of populism against the extreme right. Democrats vs. authoritarians in that game, the Democratic word does not mean if it is not against the extreme right. Because if you don't talk about patriarchy, capitalism, imperialism and public policies, political struggle can become a conspiracy struggle.

The Basque host country?

Strikes of glutamate

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.

The strike model that I was taught is no longer in vogue, it seems. In my... [+]


The technology
Systems of Life

Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]

Benito, alchemist of our emotions

Since Benito Lertxundi, who told us that he will leave the scenes for ever, we have been there for several weeks, and since then many of us have felt orphans in one way or another, with a sense of loss or abandonment, sad. To Iruindarro, at least, we will remain forever honored... [+]

There are three knots that complicate our coexistence in the Basques, and for many years, despite our patience and determination, we are unable to break free from these ties. There are at least three knots of the moment: prisoners, Basque, immigrants.
