give PEACE a chance. will we?

the ukrainian army was just allowed by US + GB + FR to use aka shoot american long distance missiles (atacms) + british (storm shadow) + french (scalp) on targets inside russia .... and the ukrainians already did so ... so sad 😭

everyone knows, this can't be done by ukrainian forces alone as there is satellite data needed (the ukraine has no satellites) + landscape data + technical know-how as well ... russia will respond, of course ... president putin told already many times that russia will hit targets inside USA, great britain + france in that case, didnt he? does the 'collective west' really believe, putin is just bluffing? has the 'collective west' forgot, russia is still the #2 or #1 nuclear powers in the world?

at least germany under chancellor scholz does not deliver long range taurus missiles to ukraine. this would soon change under his opponent merz (CDU) or the green party (habeck + baerbock), so be carefull which party you vote for in the upcoming premature elections (in february 2025?).

THUS, MY DEARS: if we dont STOP NOW the symbolic & imho also satanic 1% aka our so called 'elites', there will be no christmas 2024 for 99% of us in 4 weeks. right? 😱

of course, the in recent u.s. elections entirely defeated biden / harris adminstration tries to fabricate a mess for the elected president trump, who will take over the white house in january ... okay, but want we die only because trump aka the hope for the end of the conflict in ukraine comes to power one (!) month too late? just in case you cant believe how could this single person - donald trump - save the entire world from a nuclear disaster, just imagine: the trump administration could e.g. abandon the flow of  money & weapons to the kiev / kyiv regime immediately and also motivate / force / ask russia to start negotiations ... and the war would be over soon, wouldnt it?

sadly, for the palestinians is trump no hope at all. both, biden and trump (plus the north atlantic terror organization NATO plus the EU as well), will continue to support israeli genocide in gaza + west bank + lebanon (+ soon in jerusalem as well?) + etc.

well, after few weeks off, i've joined the wednesdays' MSA (münchen steht auf) protest & march for peace (+ for reappraisal of the unconstitutional plandemic corona measures) in munich again. enjoy few pictures from our march through the streets of munich + few interesting banners + twitter posts from november 2024: 

MSA (münchen steht auf), wettersteinplatz, 20-11-2024
we, the people, do not want a war !!
what would my cat felix as chancellor do? 🐱

... found on twitter aka X, november 2024:

i'm not at war against russia ... me either
like zelensky and ukraine? yes, yes, especially if we consider what ukraine was before and what it is today with zelensky as president / king. but let me make clear one thing. i do not mean 'clown' devaluing or derogatory in any way. unlike most of you, my dear readers, i've seen and understood few of his performances and yes, he is a really, really good + funny comedian, if you asked me. but you know what? in all of his performances i've seen, ZELENSKY spoke RUSSIAN!
so WTF is this stupid war all about?
the north-atlantic-terror-alliance NATO 1998 vs. 2022.
who is the aggressor? who is thread for peace in the world?
peace, frieden, pax, mir, mier ... and yes, lets STOP WARS, will we?

found somewhere down the road, probably among the information & advertisement postcards in the restaurant after the peace march. well, after so many bad guys & girls above, i liked to show ya also people who are obviously good or at least obviously pretty 😃 
motto? some people are good, some people are bad.

mobile work from istria, HR

enjoy pictures + insights from my 2 weeks of mobile work from abroad, this time again from our 3rd home premantura, istria, croatia, HR. it was already my 6th stay here since we are allowed to work online from abroad since 2022. it is more than i thought. because my blog never lies, i just checked my onlie memories, you know? 😄

i've had really much to do this time, so we even couldnt manage to visit our youngest daughter who also was in istria and just 1 hour away ... a little bit sad, isnt it?

and yes, we still try and succeed to see / do / experience s.th. new. this time the brioni islands (brijun) close to our favorite restaurant in fazana => there is a small story to tell: paul kuppelwieser, the austrian manager in rockefeller's steel works in vitkovice (ostrava) was the one who retired at age of 52 and in about 1860 bouhgt the then austrian and today croatian brioni (brijun) islands in istria (cheap because of malaria on the islands => german physician robert koch => no malaria => WWII => yugoslavia's president tito, ZOO with animals tito has got as gift from his visitors, cadillac, arts, diverse politicians and female artists like sophia loren as visitors, ...). well, interesting to see, but not any special, if you asked me. at least we have been by ferry fast back (maybe in 15 minutes?) to our lovely stara konoba restaurant in fazana 😇

.. and we my wife made many many nice walks at the kamenjak peninsula ... and we have visited the safari bar at cap kamenjak twice ... and .. and .. and much more ...

more pictures here.

our last year's trip was a year ago in october 2023. enjoy our experiences & thoughts here.

summer in italy, IT

our stops in italy were: 

  1. kloster neustift (abbazia di novacella) ~ our yearly 3 days seminar for south tirol's teachers' organization ASM ~ we love to do s.th. new each time, so this time we swum in the ice cold eisack river (isarco) and spent 1 night in the nearby hotel brückenwirt, which we knew only as restaurant & beergarden guests before ~ yes, we love südtirol (south tirol) 💝
  2. hiking tour from the fane alm (fanealm) to the labeseben alm (2138m) and further to the lake wilder see (2538m) in the german speaking part of the italian alps. folks, i've seen a real capricorn up there! the stars formation? no, the alpine ibex (steinbock) 🐐. my dears, there was no wikipedia page for this beautiful and also deepest mountain lake in south tirol, thus i've created a new one here: wiki wilder see (südtirol). it took me maybe 30-50 minutes, so i'm curious if the page will survive or if wikipedia deletes it due to low quality, violation of some editing rules or the like 😇. folks, wiki works fine! after only 2 days there were 4 wiki users who enhanced + improved my article, so i was so happy that i've created a new wiki page for the lake radlsee, too. who wants to read my corresponding wiki-radlsee-page as well?
  3. bozen (bolzano) ~ my wife + me were witnesses to a marriage. did you know that for a german couple it is easier and especially faster to arrange a marriage in south tirol than in munich? and that it is automatically & legally valid as a marriage for german authorities?
  4. dosoledo belluno ~ a small village in the italian speaking part of the italian alps
  5. sistiana ~ we were walking the rilke trail at the cliff coast segment of the northern italian adria
  6. castello di duino ~ duino castle ~ novi devinski grad => strange, the slovenian name for this castle 'devinski grad' is identical to castle devin in slovakia close to bratislava. just in case you didnt know, in that part of italy lives many slovenes, so the banners, road signs & other information is written in both languages, italian and slovenian
  7. miramare castle (schloss miramar) in grignano miramare close to triest (trieste) ~ built between 1856 and 1860 for the chief commander of the austrian navy and botanist🌹, ferdinand maximilian habsburg, the brother of the austrian emperor, franz josef I and for his wife, the belgian princess leopoldine. maximilian later became the emperor of mexico, too 

1) neustift aka novacella:

we + the water rescue guys swum in the ice cold eisack river (isarco). unlike the exercising guys, we have had no neoprene suits ☃

2) lake wilder see
my hiking tour today was about 2.5-3h uphill + a little bit faster down ~ 
fanealm + labiseben alm + lake wilder see (2538m)

sistiana, at least our walking at the rilke trail at the cliff coast was nice.
