You Can Fool Some of the People . . . August 30, 2020




You Can Fool Some of the People . . .


By LARRY ROMANOFF – August 30, 2020 


ENGLISH  ESPAÑOL

This article is merely a curiosity dealing with language and culture but may be of interest to a few readers, and perhaps of occasional assistance in assessing comments made by others. My observations were prompted by my notice of a few persons commenting here who pretend to be something (or someone) they are not, in particular one person masquerading as a Chinese. It isn't common, but perhaps interesting. Let's look at a few cultural differences and see where this takes us.

 

Canadians and Americans particularly, in spite of their "melting pots" of peoples and cultures, generally display little to no understanding of other cultures and tend to interpret differences through ideological lenses and their lack of a culture, usually resulting in misunderstanding or misinterpreting comments or points of view, often arriving at conclusions that are wrong.

 

In your face

 

As one example, a high-ranking American politician said recently that the Chinese need to rid themselves of what she termed their "shyness and lack of confidence". It was beyond the limits of her understanding to realise that what she was seeing was neither shyness nor a lack of confidence, but modesty, one of the more charming characteristics of typical Chinese and Asians generally. American women as a class are not modest, are typically neither "shy" nor lacking "confidence" and tend to have a bolder "in your face" attitude compared to Asian women.

我在2020319日写了一篇文章,题目是所有的真理都有三个阶段这样列出来:第一,它被忽略了。其次,它被广泛嘲笑。第三,它被认为是不言而喻的。在这件事上,我遗漏了一些重要的事情。第二步实际上有两个阶段:真相被广泛嘲笑,但是,如果嘲笑证明不足以阻止真相获得牵引力,雇佣刺客就会出现来杀死信使,通常是象征性的,但有时是字面上的。只有这最后的努力失败了真相才能获得足够的公众认可最终成为不言而喻的事实。

 

我的COVID-19我已经改名为COVID-US文章到目前为止已经在北美获得了数百万的下载和读者。它们现在已经被翻译成多种语言(甚至包括阿尔巴尼亚语),并在大多数你熟悉其名字的国家的网站和博客上重新发布。中国外交部发言人在推特上发表了一篇文章链接到我的文章“COVID-19——进一步证明病毒起源于美国说我的病毒文章改变了他看待一切的方式并在他的文章中写道这篇文章对我们每一个人都非常重要。他在中国的微博上也发表了一篇类似的帖子链接到同一篇文章该帖子获得了1.6亿的浏览量——纽约时报的一篇文章证实了这一点。

Puedes engañar a alguna gente...

y nada secreto que no vaya a ser conocido)

ENGLISH  ESPAÑOL

 

Este artículo es una mera curiosidad que trata del idioma y de la cultura, pero puede ser de interés para algunos lectores, y tal vez de ayuda ocasional para evaluar los comentarios hechos por otros. Mis análisis fueron motivados por mi observación de unas pocas personas que comentan aquí y que pretenden ser algo (o alguien) que no son, en particular una persona que se hace pasar por china. No es muy común, pero tal vez sea interesante. Veamos algunas diferencias culturales y veamos a dónde nos lleva esto.

Los canadienses y los americanos en particular, a pesar de su "crisol" de pueblos y de culturas, suelen mostrar poca o ninguna comprensión de otras culturas y tienden a interpretar las diferencias a través de lentes ideológicas y de su falta de cultura, lo que suele dar lugar a malentendidos o a una mala interpretación de los comentarios o puntos de vista, llegando a menudo a conclusiones erróneas.

 

En tu cara

Por ejemplo, una política americana de alto rango dijo recientemente que los chinos necesitan deshacerse de lo que ella denominó su "timidez y falta de confianza". Estaba más allá de los límites de su comprensión el darse cuenta de que lo que estaba viendo, que no era ni timidez ni falta de confianza, sino modestia, una de las características más encantadoras de los chinos y de los típicos asiáticos en general. Las mujeres americanas como clase no son modestas, no suelen ser ni tímidas ni faltas de "confianza", y tienden a tener una actitud más audaz "en tu cara" en comparación con las mujeres asiáticas.

Por lo tanto, una típica mujer china que finja ser una chica americana probablemente lo hará mal, y una mujer americana que finja ser una china nativa no tendría ni idea de cómo comportarse y probablemente no engañaría a nadie. En este mismo contexto, un francés que se hace pasar por alemán no puede engañar a un italiano por mucho tiempo. Las características nacionales de los pueblos se ven poderosamente afectadas por su cultura y su religión, con rasgos que emanan directamente de la psique y que no son fácilmente imitables. Los fundamentos son simplemente demasiado diferentes.

中国人很幸运,在一个几乎不受国际政治影响的国家中成长,但现在是改变的时候了,因为中国正进入一个重要而复杂的发展阶段。中国人民不能再忽视其国家发展所带来的地缘政治影响,须正视塑造其国家的那股外部力量。现在是中国发展的最后阶段,面临的问题比发展初期更加困难,对于影响中国的外部问题的重要性,中国人民绝不能掉以轻心。中国的纯真时代即将结束。中国政府取得奇迹般的成就 - 仅用了一个时代的时间,中国人民的生活质量得到了质的提高,这些在其他国家几乎前所未有。但正因为如此,有股强大的力量正在试图让中国跌倒,,其中以美国为首的国家并不希望中国崛起。


中国外交事务委员会主任赵启正在他的谈话中申明:中国人需要对国际事务有一个更新的、更开放的意识,适应世界发展的趋势。中国人民必须更加关心自己在世界上的地位,更加关注国际形势对自己的影响,更加愿意在国际事务中发出自己的声音。中国公众需要更彻底、更全面地了解国际社会。中国人既要有民族自豪感和尊严,又要有高瞻远瞩的眼光和更加宽广的胸怀。

 

际事件的发展已经到了一个关键的阶段,了解这些事件对中国的未来至关重要。我已经发表了数百篇关于中国、西方以及对中国有重大影响的地缘政治问题的文章。其他优秀的作家也发表了相同观点的文章。我希望这些文章能被翻译成中文并发布在微博上,这样所有的中国人都能够看到这些不同的观点。

This is all So Very Wrong -- August 29, 2020




This is all So Very Wrong

By LARRY ROMANOFF – August 29, 2020

 

 

ENGLISH  ESPAÑOL


This essay is another attempt to help Edward Bernays "bewildered herd" connect some dots. The content is only marginally about politics but these two following quotes are necessary to set the context.

 

Montagu Norman, Governor of The Bank of England, in a speech to the US Bankers’ Association in New York City in 1924:

 

"By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting for questions of no importance. It is thus, by discrete action, we can secure for ourselves that which has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished."

 

From Boris Berezovsky's failed attempt to transform Russia into a fake two-party state:

 

". . . heated public battles would be provoked and fought on socially-divisive issues, while both parties would be controlled from the stage wings by the same small group of ruling elites and bankers. With the citizens permanently divided and popular dissatisfaction safely channeled into meaningless dead-ends, these puppet-masters could maintain unlimited wealth and power for themselves, with little threat to their reign." (1)

 

Let's assume that many writers, readers and commenters are correct in their assessment of today's sociological and geo-political climates, that we are being misled and manipulated by someone - the Deep State, the Power Behind the Throne, the Globalists, the Satanists . . ., as Bernays said, ". . . they who pull the wires which control the public mind." (2)

 

It goes without saying that if we want to 'pull the wires' which control the minds of our 'bewildered herd', we must control the narrative, the range of public discourse on these issues. If we pay attention to the mass media on the occurrence of many events, it is easy to see that we are often being propagandised and programmed to see the world through the same pair of eyes - the pair our masters want us to look through. It is a most effective tool of public manipulation, with most of us unaware this thought control is taking place. In simple terms, if you can focus the public on asking the wrong questions, you needn't worry about the answers. (3) I want to focus here first, with a few examples.

 

Some years ago there were intense debates about the future of the Euro, with growing public opinion that the group currency was a failed experiment and European nations should revert to their original national currencies. But the mass media suddenly spawned a flood of debate centered on a wide range of options more or less titled "What is the best way to save the Euro?", forcing public debate into a context where continuation of the Euro was assumed as immutable and all discussion focused on methods of preservation. Of course, the real question was "Should the Euro be saved?", but those raising this question were ignored, mocked, derided, and painted as traitors to Europe.

Todo esto está Muy Mal

Por Larry Romanoff – 24 de Agosto, 2020


 ENGLISH  ESPAÑOL

Este ensayo es otro intento de ayudar a la "manada desconcertada" de Edward Bernays a conectar algunos puntos. El contenido es sólo marginalmente acerca de la política, pero estas dos citas siguientes son necesarias para establecer el contexto.

Montagu Norman, Gobernador del Banco de Inglaterra, en un discurso ante la Asociación de Banqueros de los Estados Unidos en la ciudad de Nueva York en 1924:

"Dividiendo a los votantes con el sistema de partidos políticos, podemos hacer que gasten sus energías en luchar por cuestiones sin importancia. Así, mediante una acción discreta, podemos asegurarnos lo que ha sido tan bien planeado y tan exitosamente logrado."

Del fallido intento de Boris Berezovsky de transformar a Rusia en un falso estado bipartidista:

"... acaloradas batallas públicas serían provocadas y libradas sobre temas socialmente divisivos, mientras que ambas partes estarían controladas desde bastidores por el mismo pequeño grupo de elites de gobernantes y banqueros. Con los ciudadanos permanentemente divididos y la insatisfacción popular canalizada con seguridad hacia callejones sin salida y sin sentido, estos titiriteros podrían mantener una riqueza y un poder ilimitados para ellos mismos, con pocas amenazas para su reinado." (1)

My God and my Glock - the Theology of Guns -- August 24, 2020


 

 My God and my Glock - the Theology of Guns

 

By LARRY ROMANOFF – August 24, 2020


Updated version of the article

appeared on January 20, 2020

 


 ENGLISH ESPAÑOL


According to Americans, God is a really pro-gun dude. In fact, one pastor of a New Bethel Christian Church gave a sermon where he announced that "God and guns were part of the foundation of this country.", and invited his entire congregation to wear their guns to church to "celebrate our rights as Christian Americans". 


Most US states permit the carrying of loaded and concealed weapons in churches. This has become a crusade where one's belief in God and His Holy Gospels are at stake, with one minister claiming "When someone tells me that being a Christian and carrying firearms are contradictions, that's just bull---".

 

 

In an article that Watching America translated from the German Die Tageszeitung was this passage:

 

"Among the books on the shelf behind Pastor James McAbee's desk are two Bibles. He quotes scripture from one - those passages that portray God as a warrior - and the other is hollowed out to conceal a pistol. Loaded. Always close at hand. James McAbee is a man of God and a man of guns. He makes more money from the guns than he does from God. James McAbee loved guns before he loved God. Now he loves both and doesn't consider that contradictory. McAbee's parishioners come to church armed, and he personally always has an Austrian Glock .40 caliber on his person or in his car."

Mi Dios y mi Glock* - la Teología de las Armas

 

Por Larry Romanoff - 24 de agosto de 2020


Versión actualizada del artículo que apareció el 20 de enero de 2020

 

 

 

ENGLISH ESPAÑOL


Según los americanos, Dios es un tipo muy pro-armas. De hecho, un pastor de una iglesia cristiana de New Bethel dio un sermón en el que anunció que "Dios y las armas eran parte de la fundación de este país", e invitó a toda su congregación a llevar sus armas a la iglesia para "celebrar nuestros derechos como americanos cristianos". 

 

La mayoría de los estados de EE.UU. permiten llevar armas cargadas y ocultas en las iglesias. Esto se ha convertido en una cruzada en la que la creencia en Dios y sus Santos Evangelios están en juego, con un ministro diciendo "Cuando alguien me dice que ser cristiano y llevar armas de fuego es una contradicción,... eso es una chorrada...".

 

En un artículo que Watching America tradujo del alemán Die Tageszeitung había este fragmento:

 

"Entre los libros de la estantería detrás del escritorio del pastor James McAbee hay dos Biblias. Cita las escrituras de una de ellas -esos pasajes que retratan a Dios como un guerrero-, y la otra está ahuecada para ocultar una pistola. Cargada. Siempre a mano. James McAbee es un hombre de Dios y un hombre de armas. Gana más dinero con las armas que con Dios. James McAbee amaba las armas antes de amar a Dios. Ahora ama a ambos y no considera eso contradictorio. Los feligreses de McAbee vienen a la iglesia armados, y él personalmente siempre tiene una Glock austriaca calibre 40 con él o en su coche."

American Exceptionalism -- August 22, 2020


 

American Exceptionalism


LARRY ROMANOFF • AUGUST 22, 2020


Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About American (White ...

 

中文  ENGLISH  ESPAÑOL  PORTUGUÊS


"Welcome to America, the Land of Freedom", read the signs at Washington, DC's international airport as you line up to have your fingerprints taken and your body cavities searched for mini nuclear devices.

 

I could have titled this article "Setting the Cat among the Pigeons". In an attempt to forestall the expected avalanche of disagreement, I confirm my awareness of statistics produced by a wide range of individuals and institutions of widely-varying intent and ideology, and which can "prove" almost anything one cares to prove, GINI coefficients being one easy example. The statistics on which this article is based were not selected carelessly and are not invalidated by a reader’s disaffection.

 

The United States Is the Best Only at Being the Worst

 

The US today has the greatest income inequality of all Western nations (1) (2), surpassing China and more than a few undeveloped nations as well. From this, it has the lowest social mobility of most nations (3), meaning that improving one's station in life is becoming increasingly impossible. If your parents are not educated and wealthy, you will never be either, and the American Dream is dead. The US today has the smallest middle class and the largest lower class of all major nations, the middle class having been mostly eviscerated in 2008,  that process completing itself today, and will probably never now recover. Americans carry the largest amount of personal debt among all nations (4), including credit card debt and increasingly unrepayable student loans, and the US now leads the world in personal bankruptcies (5). Since 2008, according to the US government's own statistics, the US has the lowest percentage of home ownership at 57% (6), ranked 43rd in the world, far below China at 90% (7), and America now has a virtual epidemic of homelessness compared to most other nations, with untabulated millions of homeless families with children.

 

 

The poverty rate in the US is extraordinary, with official statistics placing this number at 13% but in reality with more than 25% of the population living below the poverty line, in most cases far below (8). It also has the highest percentage of children living in poverty, and with almost a third of all US citizens dependent on food stamps and other government aid to survive (9). Unemployment is also extraordinary. According to the government's own statistics, fully 40% of working-age Americans have no job (10) (11), with many of the rest under-employed, working only part-time. It is only American cities or those in the most impoverished of nations that contain such vast areas of urban decay and desperate slums like those of Detroit and Chicago, where half of the areas are violent crime-ridden wastelands where no one goes.

O Excepcionalismo Americano

中文     ENGLISH      SPANISH   PORTUGUESE

"Bem-vindo à América, Terra da Liberdade", pode ler nas placas do aeroporto internacional de Washington, DC enquanto está na fila para tirar as impressões digitais e serem feitas buscas às cavidades do seu corpo, à procura de dispositivos nucleares de pequenas dimensões.

Poderia ter intitulado este artigo "Lançar o Gato no meio dos Pombos". Numa tentativa de evitar a próxima avalanche de desacordo e confirmo o meu conhecimento das estatísticas produzidas por uma vasta série de indivíduos e instituições de intenções e ideologias amplamente variadas, e que podem "provar" quase tudo que se queira provar, sendo um exemplo fácil, os coeficientes GINI. As estatísticas nas quais este artigo se baseia não foram seleccionadas ao acaso e não podem ser invalidadas pelo descontentamento do leitor.

Os Estados Unidos são os Melhores, Somente, por Serem os Piores

Os Estados Unidos têm, hoje, a maior desigualdade de rendimento per capita de todas as nações ocidentais (1) (2), ultrapassando a China e também mais do que algumas nações subdesenvolvidas. A partir deste ponto, têm a menor mobilidade social da maioria das nações (3), o que significa que está, cada vez mais, a ser impossível melhorar a condição de vida. Se os seus pais não forem educados e ricos, o leitor também nunca o será, e morre o sonho americano. Hoje em dia, os Estados Unidos têm a menor classe média e a maior classe baixa de todas as nações importantes, tendo a classe média sido praticamente estripada em 2008. Esse processo está a ser finalizado hoje e, provavelmente, nunca mais se recuperará. Os americanos são portadores do maior montante de dívidas pessoais entre todas as nações (4), incluindo dívidas de cartão de crédito e empréstimos universitários, cada vez mais difíceis de reembolsar e, agora, os EUA lideram o mundo em falências pessoais (5). De acordo com as estatísticas governamentais, os EUA, desde 2008, têm a menor percentagem de cidadãos com casa própria, apenas 57% (6), ocupando o 43º lugar no mundo, muito abaixo da China que abrange 90% (7), e têm agora uma epidemia virtual de indivíduos sem abrigo em comparação com a maioria das outras nações, com milhões de famílias com crianças na condição de sem abrigo e que não estão referenciadas nessas mesmas estatísticas.

A taxa de pobreza nos Estados Unidos é extraordinária, com estatísticas oficiais referindo esse número em 13%, mas na realidade com mais de 25% da população a viver abaixo da linha de pobreza, na maioria dos casos bem abaixo (8). Também têm a maior percentagem de crianças a viver em estado de pobreza, e quase um terço de todos os cidadãos dos EUA depende de cupões de alimentação e de outras ajudas do governo para sobreviver (9). O desemprego também é extraordinário. De acordo com as estatísticas governamentais, 40% dos americanos em idade produtiva não têm emprego (10) (11), muitos dos demais estão subempregados e trabalham apenas meio período. Só as cidades americanas ou as cidades de nações mais empobrecidas é que contêm áreas tão vastas de decadência urbana e favelas desesperadas como as de Detroit e de Chicago, onde metade das áreas são terras devastadas e violentas, onde não vai ninguém.

What part will your country play in World War III?

By Larry Romanoff, May 27, 2021

The true origins of the two World Wars have been deleted from all our history books and replaced with mythology. Neither War was started (or desired) by Germany, but both at the instigation of a group of European Zionist Jews with the stated intent of the total destruction of Germany. The documentation is overwhelming and the evidence undeniable. (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11)
