The visionaries....

This is not hunting.....

Around 540 animals where shot in a short period of time and in a small area (Azambuja, Portugal). It seems that they are not even interested in taking care of all that meat !? This is pure amusement for sick minds. A criminal investigation is ongoing and my best wishes that those who committed this crime get some time behind bars.

In times of crisis....

 ..the Norwegian authorities are champions in infection control.

Gates Foundation donates $250-Million to fight Covid-19 pandemic....

The very best....

..and we will never see another player like him.

Switzerland....land of no shame

The hypocrisy of holding a referendum on the topic....and the result of it.

Bad news....brexiters

The fool in Washington is gone, and the rats will soon abandon the ship. Good luck !

Ridiculous....

A 12 hour live coverage of the American election by Swedish public television service  (SVT).

Sweden bans Huawei....

"Telecoms regulator PTS said here Tuesday's decision, ahead of a spectrum auction due next month, followed advice from the country's armed forces and security service, which described China as "one of the biggest threats against Sweden"."....in Reuters, October, 20.

Lament for l`America....

Behind every successful criminal....

..there is a "laundering" institution

Covid 19, Sweden....

People queuing for the TBE vaccine....social distancing ?

Was Florence Griffith-Joyner’s 100-meter world record wind assisted...?

The Omega wind gauge (stationary tube) registered 0.0 wind during the race

On July 16, 1988, Florence Griffith-Joyner ran 10.49 in the 100-meters at the United States Olympic Trials in Indianapolis. Looking at the little flag being held by the official standing behind the start line, it would appear as if there was a strong crosswind coming from the left of the runners (the flag is actually even moving slightly backwards). There is definitely no tailwind, and how could such a crosswind favor the runners ? She outdistances the other competitors as well, and she seems to be the only one in the race to "benefit" from those winds...? 

Anyway....technically, Flo-Jo is still the best sprinter of all time, and that includes both male and female athletes. Her running during that year of 1988 is no less than close to perfection.

Wow....Madame Deneuve

..(very) bad taste is just not enough !

After an extraordinary (and long) effort from a nation to restrain Covid 19....

..this is what stupid football fans (Napoli) can achieve in a few hours. All the nurses and doctors who sacrificed their lives to fight the pandemic…. 

Global Peace Index....

Environmental hypocrites....

Göteborg "green city" converting a grass field where children used to play fotball....into a parking lot...?

Security ?....only angainst virus !

The guy in the supermarket queue....is the current president of Portugal !

Lessons from 1918....

In the San Francisco Chronicle

The EU flag is missing....

Strange message from Sweden's prime minister. Not a member of the EU anymore...?

62 984 825...votes ?

Crook`s with immunity....

..the former king of Spain

Not only were they born with all the privileges...."donations" (bribes) of millions of euros, are extra welcome. Immunity ? How to frame that in the concept of democracy ? 

We had already the best deal....

..but we are firmly still looking for the second best...or maybe not even that ?

The biggest problem with Africa (and is starting to get old)....

..is the elected (or unelected) bandits and thieves, whose priority is to steal from the people of their countries. Here the former president of Angola (a Marxist !?), and his always smiling (she has a reason) daughter....the "richest woman in Africa".

Vinho do Porto....

..a delight for the savor

Alarm clock....

..when the most valuable real estate (coast lines) will become endangered by the rising of sea level....the opinion (and measures) to control climate changes will escalate.

Mining money....

..the contribution to micro local economy by international chains is rather limited. Their main purpose is to dig money in a location....and move it elsewhere. 

The regime of Iran....

..mainly consisting of hypocrites, liars and incompetent, have now sent those who filmed the attack on the civilian Ukrainian airplane to prison. Punishing people who come out with the truth (a crime against national security) is a top priority.

San Francisco, city of (no) shame....

..a common sight in the streets of SF

US most expensive city (one out of 11 000 inhabitants in SF is a billionaire). Common working people can not afford to live there anymore due to property prices, rental cost (3000 dollars/monthly for one bedroom apartment), private tourist accommodation...and so on. One of the results of such a "wealthy" city is 10 000 homeless people living in the streets due to drug-related problems, mental health problems, unemployment (or miserable salaries), and poverty. Massive cutbacks to mental health and public housing development as a result of neoliberal carcinoma, pushed the situation to a breaking point out of control. Because what you see in the streets of San Francisco, a few blocks away from the most expensive hotels, is no longer what we in Europe call poverty. What goes on in SF is a profound dehumanization of the most vulnerable.

Same destination....
