Pope Francis

1 day ago | open.substack.com | Tarik Cyril Amar

When a great man and leader of the Roman-Catholic Church, and beyond it, like Pope Francis – before his papacy, Jorge Mario Bergoglio – dies, it may seem almost impious to speak or write about politics. But in his case, we know for certain that it simply means doing what he told us to do. For one of his fundamental teachings was that we have a religious and moral – not merely a civic – duty to engage in politics.

When a great man and leader of the Roman-Catholic Church – and beyond it – like Pope Francis dies, it may seem almost impious to speak or write about politics. But in his case, we know for certain that it simply means doing what he told us to do. For one of his fundamental teachings was that we have a religious and moral – not merely a civic – duty to engage in politics. He made this clear, for instance, in one of his major statements, the 2020 encyclical Fratelli Tutti (All Brothers).

German anti-Russia propaganda is reaching Nazi-era levels - Tarik Cyril Amar

6 days ago | qoshe.com | Tarik Cyril Amar

Like people almost everywhere in NATO-EU Europe, Germans are currently being subjected to a relentless barrage of shameless, often astonishingly crude propaganda. That’s because their political elites and mainstream media are desperately trying to prepare them for war against Russia. And this time, not by proxy, that is, by way of a devastated Ukraine and dead Ukrainians, but directly.

The Sumy missile strike: War, propaganda, and hypocrisy - Tarik Cyril Amar

1 week ago | qoshe.com | Tarik Cyril Amar

On April 13, Russia launched an attack on a target in the eastern Ukrainian city of Sumy. All reports –Western, Ukrainian, and Russian – agree on some basic facts: The attack consisted of two ballistic missiles; substantial numbers of people were killed (over 60, according to the Russian Defense Ministry; over 20 in Western and Ukrainian reports) and injured (over 110, per Ukrainian reports). Beyond that, however, a thick fog of war has descended. Or rather, a fog of propaganda.

Here’s why the AfD is destined for the German government

1 week ago | dailytelegraph.co.nz | Tarik Cyril Amar

The right-wing party has taken the lead in a nationwide poll for the first time. It won’t be the last – and the establishment only has itself to blame. Germany has an undeserved reputation for dour rationality and lacking an appreciation of the absurd. In reality, however, Germany is a – for want of nicer terms – very counterintuitive country.

Germany has an undeserved reputation for dour rationality and lacking an appreciation of the absurd. In reality, however, Germany is a – for want of nicer terms – very counterintuitive country. If you are running a regime in Kiev (at least according to the official story) and blow up Germany’s vital energy infrastructure, Germans will say thank you and throw money and arms at you, while also helping you blame someone else (the Russians, of course: Germany has never been an imaginative country).
