Nere för räkning i Gulfregionen

 


Lägg märke till att den här tönten inte heller har någon lösning på problemet. Luftrummet är mycket riktigt stängt, och det råder fullt krig.

Ärligt talat verkar folk ha väldigt märkliga föreställningar om vad UD kan eller inte kan göra i den här typen av situationer. Har varit något av en följetång de senaste 20 åren eller så...

Måste göra mer för strandsatta svenskar

Don´t mess with Dhumravarna!

 


There are so many strange Hindu deities and god-forms. Here is one I never heard about before: Dhumravarna, a form of Ganesha conceptualized as the Supreme Being who appears at the end of the Kali yuga to help Kalki, the tenth avatar of Vishnu?!

Could he please come back sooner, I mean, you know... 

Nonchalans

 

Jag, just nu 

Okej, ni vet vart ni ska skicka det där elstödet, va? Jaaaaapp. 

MAGA forever?

 


Is MAGA *really* disintegrating because of Trump´s more and more "Neo-Con" activities? Michael Tracey has the receipts...

>>>As of a month ago, Republicans were by far the most likely to support regime change in Iran. Expect that number to skyrocket even higher now, especially among self-identified "MAGA Republicans." >>>WSJ, 2/19/2026: A recent Harvard CAPS/Harris poll found that self-identified 'MAGA Republicans' are the group most likely to back regime change in Iran—75% said they supported it, vs. only 69% of "traditional Republicans"

Imagine being in paid partnership with the Demiurge and thinking you´re still free...

Me, the last six months or so. The guy on the right, obviously.

Let´s call it a hunch

 

- You sure that´s God?
- Just continue meditating, bruh!

What is the most compelling argument for God? Or, rather, what is the most persuasive fact of reality which points to the Divine? When I started my "spiritual quest" over 20 years ago, I would have said the moral argument and the hard problem of consciousness. Of course, back then I had a more "theist" view of the Divine and was Christianity-curious.

Today, I would say first and foremost that the case for the Divine is cumulative. It´s like assembling pieces of evidence and connecting the dots. How do I know whodunit? Let´s call it a hunch! I would say that the hard problem of consciousness is *the* major hunch that materialism simply can´t be true. First, materialist scientists still haven´t been able to solve it (and not for want of trying). Second, it simply can´t be solved. 

Even if somebody conclusively demonstrates a causal connection between atoms and consciousness, I would *still* suspect there is something more to it. Obviously, since I have immidiate first-hand knowledge of my own mind and its subjectivity. I perceive and know that my consciousness simply cannot be reduced to whatever material stuff scientists claim caused it (or is identical with it). The hunch won´t go away and the quest would continue.

The above doesn´t necessarily prove theism, deism or dualism. Pantheism and panentheism are other possibilities. But the point is that we are "plugged it" to something that isn´t brute matter in the sense usually understood by that term. Come to think of it, isn´t the materialist claim that matter can generate consciousness in itself a kind of pantheism, animism or even animatism? The pantheism that dare not speak its name...

Everything else feels like commentary to this. Very interesting commentary, to be sure!

A toddler wants to report her mommy for fraud. LOL. Could be AI-generated, of course.  

Samma skit som vanligt

 


Ja, det är alltså därför vi behöver fackföreningar och kollektivavtal...

The gold standard

 


Lindsey Graham believes that Cuba is next on the list. I suppose that could be a problem for the, ahem, US Socialist Workers Party...

Cuba is next

Stakeout

 


OK, this was creative. I asked Gemini to make an illustration of how Brahman becomes seven rays in seven colors and then angels. This was the result! For whatever reason, the AI gave the rays the names "Will, Wisdom, Light, Harmony, Science, Devotion, Ceremonial Order". Freely based on Alice Bailey? And  - wait for it - in the lower righthand corner you can see people with telescopes outside "Älta Observatory"?! 

There is a suburb of Stockholm named Älta, and while there is no observatory there, there is a weather station (Älta väderstation). Judging by on-line maps, it really is close to a lake, although I have no idea how it actually looks like. Probably not as a cozy Swedish summer cottage...  

But sure, the idea of "observing" Brahman and the Seven Rays on location in Sweden does have a certain intrinsic appeal.

God?

 


My approximate view of God...

Tetrad

 


There is a "blood moon" (a kind of lunar eclipse) this Tuesday. Doomsdayers on-line are already connecting it with the US attack on the Iranian regime, Gog and Magog, and (surprise) the end of the world as-we-know-it. 

Now, read the articles linked below. They are from 2018, when similar apocalyptic fantasies were projected onto an earlier "blood moon". This because of some apocalyptic-mongering book from 2016 about "a tetrad" of such lunar eclipses.

Point being: we´re still here, and "blood moons" (including their alleged "tetrads") have entirely natural explanations. So no, the world won´t end this time either. Let me guess? The next time there is a bloody eclipse (next year, say) I will have to repost these links to debunk it *again*?

What is a blood moon?

Still waiting for the apocalypse

 


How many times do I have to repost this link, do you think?

No coke in Doha

 


Jag kan förstå att någon måste mellanlanda i t.ex. Qatar. Som den gamle popparen Dr Alban i artikeln länkad här nedan. Det är svårare att förstå folk som bor på lyxhotell i t.ex. Dubai under en rätt så uppenbar internationell kris i närområdet. Jag menar, varför i all sin dar åker man just *dit* på semestern?!

Stop killing Judas!!!

 


OK, this was somewhat funny. Apparently, a classical skit from "MAD TV".

OK, this meme was actually funny...

Epstein Fury

 


For the record, I don´t think Trump is attacking the Iranian regime cuz Epstein something-something. Even during his (rhetorically) most peaceful period, he always had an aggressive posture against Iran. Something he had since at least the 1980´s! Of course he can use it to deflect attention from the Epstein files, but so what? Other dynamics are at play here. Obviously.
