MSC 2026 = the yearly new wars planning event in munich

the MSC, munich security conference, also known as sicherheitskonferenz, SiKo and among peace activists especially under its original name wehrkundetagung, which means military issues conference. if you just read the list of attendees (it used to be simpler & better, maybe they'll update it later on) and the list of sponsors (boening, lockhead martin, diehl, heckler & koch, palantir, airbus, j.p.morgan, MBDA, rheinmetall, ...)

initiative #2, odeonsplatz

2 key points from a former demo of this initiative:

 peace instead of NATO and peace instead of friedrich merz 😄

well, the attendees inside their closed rooms promote weapons & wars. outside, we activist in the cold munich february rain, want to stop NATO + stop wars and hope for peace on earth 🙏 

there have been 4 major protests / initiatives due to MSC:

• #1 the traditional peace movement started traditionally at karlsplatz stachus, walked through the streets of munich to the marienplatz, where the closing rally (with maybe 3,000 attendees) was.
• #2 the new peace movement, which was formed 2014 against the coup de etat + war in ukraine and developed later to an anti WHO and anti state orchestrated corona-measuress alliance, started this year at the odeonsplatz. then it walked through the streets of munich back to odeonsplatz for its final rally (top speaker was the pastor eugen drewermann) (maybe 3,000 attendees)
• #3 there was a a quite small pro-ukraine and anti-russian demo in front of the opera at max-josephs-platz, too .... (maybe 500 attendees, the most of them most likely germans)
• #4 AND A HUUUUGE demo with abt 250,000 mostly iranian attendees advocating for freedom + democracy + shah reza pahlavi (schah auf DE) in IRAN. on that day were pro-iranian demos in many cities of the world with over 1m participants. this alone tells a lot abt the iranian diaspora, doesnt it? the bigegst demo was in toronto / canada with more thean 350,000 folks out there and not many less were in losangeles. munich was the biggest in europe and there was a very special speaker on board: the leader of the iranian exil opposition, reza pahlavi, the son of the last iranian shah, reza pahlavi sr. ... you should have to hear the screams of the crowd when he came to the stage! the people love him, i think ... here were many mostly big + expensive cars with iranian flags from many places in germany, few from switzerland / netherlands / italy / france and even from great britain. well, lets hope these symphatetic and highly civilized persian people will get their freedom (freedom of choice?) and not the standard american style democracy recently rolled out in iraq, afghanistan, libya, ukraine, syria,

harikiri skiing, zillertal, AT

what a wonderful skiing in the zillertal valley in tirol, austria (=österreich), AT. 🏂🌋🌞 

i was alone, so i could wonderfully concentrate on my feelings + thoughts, especially abt my investment strategy for the next few weeks/months due to the soaring gold + silver + copper + mining stocks prices and the unbelievable volatility which most likely could mark some major market peak, cant it?

the most famous ski run in this mountopolis area is the steepest track in austria, harakiri with a 78% declension. i've tried twice, but the icy artificial snow piste vs. my 10 years old unserviced skis with completely blunt edges (stumpfe kanten) was not any nice experience. later they've even closed the harakiri run completely due to few injuries out there ... any lessons learned? yes, i've brought my skis to a service the very next day 😀⛄🍀

indeed, there was not enough snow in this mountopolis ski area, which is 1,600-2,400m high, so we've had just the artificial icy snow all over the place ...

if mountopolis, then start your tour at the horchbergbahn cable car from stockach / schwendau. why? you dont need to stray all over mayrhofen looking for a parking place and on top is the parking at the horchbergbahn base station for free. will you remenber that advice? promised?

mayrhofen. do not tap into the city center for skiing 

horchbergbahn cable car, base station, here we go ⛇

skiing is not for free ...
