A new high temperature record has been set in the village of Oymyakon in Russia’s Far East, known internationally as the world’s coldest permanently inhabited settlement. Wildfires have occurred in the region as a result of a recent heatwave.

Temperatures in the village, which is located in the remote Yakutia region or Sakha Republic, reached 32 degrees Celsius (89.6F) on Monday, according to local media, surpassing the previous record of 30.5 degrees Celsius set on the same day in 1949.

The head of the Sakha Republic, Aisen Nikolaev, declared a state of emergency in the region on Monday as massive wildfires spread over the weekend. On his Telegram channel, Nikolaev noted that the Oymyakon district was among the worst affected.

“More than 828 million people faced hunger in 2021,” Turk claimed, “And climate change is projected to place up to 80 million more people at risk of hunger by the middle of this century.”e added: “Our environment is burning. It’s melting. It’s depleting. It’s drying. It’s dying” and that these factors will combine to lead humanity towards a “dystopian future” unless urgent and immediate action is taken by environmental policymakers.

Oymyakon is among the coldest places in the Northern Hemisphere, having recorded a low temperature of -67.7 degrees Celsius (-89.9F) in 1933. However, an unverified record was set seven years earlier, when a low of -71.2 degrees Celsius was reported.

Despite the extreme weather conditions, Oymyakon has a permanent population of around 500 people.

Climate change poses a particularly acute threat to Yakutia, as much of its infrastructure is built on permafrost. Experts warn that thawing could lead to major social and economic ramifications in the region.

Deep Sea Monsters To Kill Us All With Their Tridents – equaling 134,400 Hiroshimas –

‘What all of us need to Deny or Avoid because its Implications are So Monstrous’.

Sometimes you wake up from a dream to realize it is telling you to pay close attention to the depth of its message, especially when it is linked to what you have been thinking about for days.

I will spare you additional details or an interpretation, except to say that my daytime thoughts concerned the media spectacle surrounding the Titan submersible that imploded two miles down in the ocean’s cellar while trying to give its passengers a view of the wreck of the Titanic, the “unsinkable” ship nicknamed “the Millionaire’s Special.” The ship that no one could sink except an ice cube in the drink that swallowed it.

‘Power, money, and technology are the ruling deities today‘

Cellar dreams are well-known as the place where we as individuals and societies can face the flickering shadows that we refuse to face in conscious life.

I have just come up from a dream in which I went down to the cellar of the house I grew up in because the basement light was on and the back cellar door had been opened by a mysterious man who stood outside.

Carl Jung called it “the shadow.”

Such shadows, when unacknowledged and repressed, have a tendency to autonomously surface and erupt, not only leading to personal self-destruction but that of whole societies.

History is replete with examples. My dream’s mysterious stranger had lit my way through some dark thoughts and opened the door to a possible escape.

He got me thinking about what all of us tend to want to deny or avoid because its implications are so monstrous.

The obsession with the alleged marvels of technology together with naming them after ancient Greek and Roman gods are fixations of elite technologues who have lost what Spengler called “living inner religiousness” but wish to show they know the classical names even though they miss the meaning of these myths.

Such myths tell the stories of things that never happened but always are.

Appropriating the ancient names without irony – such as naming a boat Titanic or a submersible Titan – unveils the hubristic ignorance of people who have never descended to the underworld to learn its lessons.

Relinquishing their sense of god-like power doesn’t occur to them, nor does the shadow side of their Faustian dreams.

Il y a un peu plus d’une semaine, l’establishment politique français huait et se moquait d’enthousiasme en regardant la rébellion armée de Prigozhin ..

La France elle-même est maintenant au bord de la guerre civile. Depuis presque une semaine, de nouvelles émeutes éclatent dans les rues de Marseille, Paris, Lyon et d’autres villes françaises. Des milliers de détenus et de blessés, des centaines de magasins, d’écoles et de bibliothèques pillés. Rien qu’hier soir, les manifestants ont incendié 577 voitures, […]
Il y a un peu plus d’une semaine, l’establishment politique français huait et se moquait d’enthousiasme en regardant la rébellion armée de Prigozhin dans notre pays. Macron, bien sûr, a appelé à «rester vigilant», mais en même temps il n’a pas bien caché sa joie – ils disent que tout cela «justifie pleinement le soutien que nous apportons aux Ukrainiens dans leur résistance», et s’est généralement frotté les mains en prévision d’une « guerre civile en Russie ». Et voici le karma instantané.

Truth and justice for Nahel, victim of a racist state where the police kill with impunity!

13 people were killed by French Police in 2022 for a “refusal to comply”.

Tuesday June 27, 2023, around 8 a.m. in Nanterre, the police shot dead a 17-year-old minor during a “road check”.

Gun pointed at Nahel, the cop says “You’re going to get shot in the head”, the other cop says “shoot him!” “, a few seconds later, being absolutely not in danger, the policeman coldly shoots him at point-blank range. It is a summary execution.

Full support and condolences to his family and loved ones.

This police murder is neither a blunder nor an isolated case, only in the year 2022 it is 13 people who were killed during a “refusal to comply”.

The police kill and justice is complicit. The suburbs are true laboratories of state violence and uninhibited racism, the populations live there permanently under the zeal of the police, who indulge in the worst acts with complete impunity.

During the day, it is an outburst of hatred, contempt, lies that will smear Nahel.

The police unions congratulate the cop for having fired, the extreme right and the state invent him a criminal record and go so far as to say that the only responsible are his parents who did not educate him.

A cop arriving at the scene of the murder, will even say to a woman “go back to Africa”, when they have just killed a minor.

More than ever, support the popular revolts! Abolish the police is a necessity!

We call to join all the rallies of support and spontaneous mobilizations against racism and police crimes!

Let us demand justice and truth for Nahel.

Macron’s authoritarianism sparks uprising

Comment, Jul 3rd

Macron once promised to turn the French State mechanism into a “start-up” State, and this is exactly what he delivers: an authoritarian entity that doesn’t shy at murdering 17 year olds, criminalising ecological activism, and abolishing labour rights, when any of these stands in the way of its plans.
