A couple of years ago I asked an afghani geologist the simple question why is there a war in Afghanistan? I was not that naive believing the crap about introducing democracy. The answer was quite surprising to me, but it looks like the soviet miners already found out the answer in the 80-s.

There is this naive belief, among parts of the western world, that foreign soldiers stationed in Afghanistan are there to teach the citizens “the true democratic values”, ignoring the fact that they themselves have taught the Taliban all the battle strategies they need. Quite weird way of introducing  democracy in a society. Obviously, they where never thinking about the fact that the only way democracy can be introduced into a society is with education and not with international weapons and bombs…Made in EU. Well these people planning wars are not stupid so it was about time that the NewYork Times as well as the German newspaper “Tagesspiegel”  explain the true reason why international forces are in Afghanistan. Here are some of the reasons: Copper, Iron, Gold, Cobalt, Lithium.
Lithium is especially needed in batteries for Cell phones, Laptops and surprise electro cars…the future when the oil gets depleted. They say what Saudi Arabia is with oil, Afghanistan can be with Lithium.
What they miss to say in the article, but what the Afghani geologist told me was that there are huge amounts of gem stones like rubies and saphires. There is also uranium which according to the geologist Americans know very well because they have located their forces there and know are exploiting the country on tons of uranium… not paying one cent in taxes. According to him 1 kg uranium costs about 10 000 euro / kg. So much of the democratic values that our governments that WE vote for are sharing in our name in the world…Image12

Prije nekoliko godina sam postavila jednom afganskom geologu jedno jednostavno pitanje. Zasto se ratuje u Afganistanu? Nisam toliko naivna da vjerujem gluposti poput toga da ameri sire demokratiju tamo. Odgovor mi je bio logican i zacudjujuci (toliko o poznavanje svijeta). A sovjetski rudari su izgleda vec u 80-im vec to sve znali.
Postoji naivno razmisljanje kod zapadnog svijeta da su strani vojnici u afganistanu tamo radi sirenja demokratiskih vrijednosti. Uspijesno ignoriseci da su oni sami izskolovali talibance u svim mogucim ratnim strategijama. Jako cudan nacin sirenja demokratije. Ocigledno nisu razmisljali o tome da je jedini nacin da siris demokratiju kroz edukaciju i ne kroz internacionalno oruzje i bombe…made in EU.
Ovi ljudi koji planiraju ratove, nisu bas toliko glupi da ne znaju sta rade, takok da je bilo krajnje vrijeme da New York Times objasni svojim amerima pravi razlog zbog cega su u Afganistanu. A to je bakar, zeljezo, zlato, kobalt, licijum… Posebno licijum je bitan jer se koristi u svim baterijama bilo to za mobitel, laptop …eletricnim autima…A kad nestane nafte zamislite koja ce biti buducnost auta…elektricni auta mozda?? Zato kazu da to sto je Saudi arabija za naftu, to moze Afganistan biti za licijum…
Sta su fulali ispricati u clanku, a sta mi je afganski geolog ispricao, je da imaju ogromno bogatstvo dragulja poput rubina I safira. Ima jako puno uranium, i kako isprica geolog, to amerikanci vrlo dobro znaju, jer su postavili svoju vojsku oko tih ruda I svaki dan vade na tone toga…bez da plate ijedan cent poreza drzavi…A jedna kg uraniuma kosta oko 10 000 eura. Toliko o demokratskim vrijednostima koje nase vlade, za koje MI glasamo, dijele po svijetu…

 

 

 

Impressive day at Münchener Residenz- part 1/ Impresivan dan u Minhenskoj residenciji 1.dio

Today, I went to Munich Residenz for the first time.  I expected an interesting museum but saw a grandiose one. The rooms were so spectacular that one could spent hours watching them. And I have never seen so much gold at one place (except churches) as here. Truly amazing. On the other hand it makes me wonder what kind of a system it was when people here were literally starving, while the rich ones were having tons of gold… In any case I took so many pictures that the next round will be published tomorrow.

Danas sam bila u Minhenskoj residenciji po prvi put. Očekivala sam jedan interesantan muzej ali to što nas je dočekalo je bilo grandiozno. Sobe su spektakularne i mogla bih ih satima gledati. I nikad nisam toliko zlata na jednom mjestu vidjela (osim u crkvi). Zaista nevjerovatno. U drugu ruku se pitam kakav je to sistem bio, kad su ljudi bukvalno umirali od gladi dok su bogati imali toliko tona zlata…U svakom slučaju…toliko sam slika snimila da ću slijedeću rundu sutra pokazati…
