Restricting at the last moment the eagerly awaited release of the presumably decisive documents on the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963 is not exactly conducive to building confidence in the vehemently advocated official statements. On the contrary, this process represents something that should actually be avoided: it reinforces opposing views.

Especially in the case of Kennedy, this is more than clumsy, nobody believes in the claims of individual perpetrators any more. All statements in this regard have been refuted in the meantime.

With the current postponement, many truth seekers will probably no longer know the contents because they simply died. Perhaps further waves will have smoothed out by then, which does not mean that any interest will ever fade. Of course, all advocates of divergent interpretations are happy about this unexpected support. Although this surprising decision does not confirm them, it weakens the government's positions immensely. This is similar to a classic own goal.

If there is hardly any need for clarification regarding the attack itself, the background and the ordering party or at least what has been determined and is therefore regarded as official evidence are naturally of interest. As a hypothesis, it has been widely accepted that the arms industry is behind the attack – which will not be discussed here. Their power and influence has rather increased since then, which is why their largest lobbyist association, the NRA, could have had a hand in it.

However, it is also possible to speak volumes. The silence of the files (de) is therefore an exciting examination of these aspects.

This self-deception goes so far that we threaten to drive the fully loaded cart with full force against the wall and still it is not acknowledged, identified, talked down, completely ignored or immediately rejected and denied. Admonishers and spotter become enemies. All indications and evidence are dismissed, if necessary twisted and punished as scare tactics. Which is understandable from the point of view, since every acknowledgement in the same breath is a commitment to changes that are contrary to the efforts that have been brought up. Who wants to leave their comfort zone?

That's why, out of the gigantic flood of information that comes over us every day, we block out everything that contradicts our own well-being. The supposed truth is selected, bent and adjusted. We refuse to accept the worsening conditions and do not accept to be responsible for them ourselves. Therefore we loudly blame others and ask them to redesign everything with a magic switch. Because if the ingrained circumstances dictate an unfamiliar behavior, we reflexively resist, making the circumstances worse.

Absurdly enough, no one rebels against the dictatorship of Google, Amazon and Facebook because there is a lack of understanding. Moreover, the opportunities on offer are far too tempting to question. The excessive monitoring and spying by business and the state only acknowledges the state's desire with barking, but ultimately accepts it with annoyance. Nobody wants to do without the nice new conveniences and keeps his intoxication with twisted arguments.

We set the wrong priorities by rising above everything and putting our own pacification first. Although this may have been necessary for the survival of our Stone Age ancestors, we have moved miles away from the living conditions of that time – with the exception of our thinking, which cannot stop thinking about its lust for power and domination. Surprisingly, it adapts itself to the respective conditions, but refuses any further development – it does not learn.

One consequence of this is that we demand facts. But nature and climate cannot be set in stone. We cannot even grasp that the ground beneath our feet is constantly in motion. Even in regions that directly feel the forces of earthquakes and/or volcanic eruptions, attempts are made to tame the monsters rather than give in.

We struggle with the stigma of not being able to see into the future, which is our greatest longing. However, we have found our best, most patient and inexhaustible victim, where all our guilt can be dumped. Reliable forecasts about the effects of our actions cannot be made seriously, otherwise we would most likely live completely differently. The assumption is that our entire history would have been different.

What we have always been able to do, however, and what we have improved and refined over the course of evolution, is to interpret signs and draw conclusions. Whereby any signs originate from our wealth of experience and knowledge and are therefore constantly increasing. In the meantime, algorithms that have been transferred to the digital world are able to predict our actions and/or adapt the environment to them, in order to otherwise gently guide us in desired directions.

Only our arrogance refuses any insight, because in the course of our development it has become firmly burnt into our brains that truths taste bitter and disgusting. In addition, they regularly demand restrictions and renunciations from us. In times where profit, i.e. enrichment, is everything, these are not acceptable variables. We prefer to walk into a battle with our visor open and convince ourselves that we are already winning it, because we do not tolerate, allow or expect any other result. According to the motto created for the banking crisis – too big to fail – a collapse on our part is impossible.

As is well known, pride comes before a fall, but reveals another weakness in our thinking: limitation. The crux of the matter is that it also ensures not being discovered. Except in its material counterpart, life, which is why its inevitable limits tempt us to maximum debauchery. Compounded by the uncertainty of when we will reach it. Therefore, everyone is next to himself. Why should the enjoyment of one's own life be based on how it will affect the future? Each generation had to cope with the existing conditions and could not choose those, so future generations must be satisfied with what they will leave behind.

What served for bare survival for our ancestors has developed into mania: Might. Seizing superiority expresses our daily aspirations in a frighteningly impressive way. As obvious as it is unrecognized. Visible only to a few who are not under this bondage. Yet our hoarding is merely a redistribution. What one receives is taken elsewhere. Just because we generate fictitious money in digital times, there is no compensatory value. We have merely cast our old dream of turning lead into gold into modern form.

We arrogantly overlook that all factors show exponential increases. Those who can grasp the connections try to take advantage of them, which usually means a further fueling of the fatal development. The manageable time frame of each life, in connection with the growing abilities of tools at our side, only feeds our greed. The greed for more and more to rise above the rest. Long-term and/or social thinking slow down or even negate such aspirations, why they are ostracized.

In those days, the introduction of payment merely served to facilitate the prevailing business principle. Barter was certainly not very comfortable and filled with all kinds of adversity, but at least real values were involved. Over the centuries, these paper notes were not only increasingly refined in visual appearance, but their existence was given more and more weight. At latest by the beginning of the industrial age, at the end of the 19th century, money became the focus of attention. How quickly and strongly we became dependent on it was already evident in October 1929, when New York Stock Exchange collapsed, triggering a world economic crisis that did not bottom out until 1932. In the meantime we have raised money to the status of a deity and laid our existence at his feet.

The immaterial means of payment still requires a material equivalent. 50 Euros in the hand are just coloured paper. Only at the checkout in the supermarket it turns into a valuable credit. This is also the dimension in which the mass of people can grasp the interaction. In contrast, the actual event is a diffuse world whose dominance is only perceived when complications arise there.

Nevertheless, the illusory world needs material content to prove its existence and to establish its value. Work performance is part of it, but is one of the annoying factors, why it's constantly being minimized. In the main, ownership still marks actual significance. These material counterparts can be resources or products of themselves and therefore have one thing in common: they are limited. Because this planet is all that is available to us. Everything from which we can draw.

Our development so far has therefore serious consequences, because at its end there can only be total, complete exploitation. The fatal thing now is that we know this, but our animal instincts do not allow us to derive other courses of action from it. The saying, after me the deluge, illustrates our point of view. We reproduce because our genes more or less force us to. However, in the short time span of our existence the attitude towards this has changed fundamentally, but has not yet entered our consciousness. While all living things want to preserve their species, we make this obligation beautiful and create additional evil spirits in our heads. The likewise genetically programmed potential for dominance has now reached the top of our construction kit. Envy travels in the wake of the associated domination airs and graces. This is directed at everything and knows no relation. For if we were more tolerant through foresight, we would not be able to satisfy the penetrating greed in our own lives. This creates an inner pressure, whose valve is preferably aggression, because its clumsy structure can release a lot of stored energy.

Mercilessly we exploit everything because we only allow ourselves everything. Not even our own children and at the same time we are unable to admit this. We resist this point of view, which may be understandable, but is equally stupid. In a broader or indirect sense we are cannibals. Nobody wants to hear that, of course. We also vehemently deny that we are heading towards collective genocide. We ignore the harmful and only allow the pleasurable to enter our sphere of perception. By our absurd behaviour we create an imbalance and endanger all life – including ours.

If you are the owner of a business, there are sometimes a few helpful hints that can't be dismissed. But you would probably resist massive interference or even regulation, wouldn't you? As long as you act legal, you want to run your business the way you want, right? Fine.

Basically, nobody can force anyone to do something against their will, because we don't live in a dictatorship – at least not yet. Are we compliant so far? Fine.

Then why do you, as a user, lament and moan about the business practices of others and even call for policy to be regulated from there? Nobody's forcing you to eat the disgusting candy. Established and at least equivalent alternatives already exist. But then you come up with flimsy excuses to justify your addiction and inability to change. Most popular is the argument of missing mass elsewhere. Which makes you a dim-witted addict for whom even irrational reasons are not cheap enough. Awkward. Kinky.

If you waste your energy with stupid jabbering and not invest it in a change, no mass can be built elsewhere. The current top dogs were also boring and empty in their beginnings. So stop complaining about data collection and other unpleasant side effects, but reorient yourself. Right now! That' all!

Not everywhere, so that quiet resistance is perceptible from some corners. However, in view of solidified roped parties, entrenched structures and rusted connections, a separation is unlikely. The audible cries are rather the result of the oppressive narrowness where people step on each other's feet, not from insight before necessary changes or even from the idea of being able to step out on separate paths and adopt other forms of behaviour.

This would be the salvation of all of us and the last free selectable emergency exit. Probably we will fail again because we lack all the necessary ingredients for a new world order: Vision, bravery, courage, will and especially inner greatness. We would first have to admit mistakes, which is almost impossible. Then previous entanglements would have to be cut off, which in view of the expected annoyances would soften possible intentions in advance. To reproach the old companions with short-sightedness would also be counterproductive and hinder any plans.

However, the real reason for all hesitation is deeply rooted in us: fear. Conversely, we lack his counterpart to take the decisive first step: courage.

What still sounds feasible and motivating for the individual – no courage without fear – is often more difficult at a national level. Even the extended version – what does my courage enable me to do, even though I am afraid – can hardly be realized in view of the large number of people in charge. There is the same bias in everyone, which then adds up accordingly. What remains unnoticed is our inner herd instinct, which leads us to expect a chain reaction of like-minded people, whereby initial uncertainties should quickly lose their terror.

If our history of development has been driven and marked by pioneering spirit, we do not seem to have lost it, but we have reduced it to improving comfort and convenience. In our eyes, we have made the world our own and set ourselves up, so why should we change the conditions in a big way and risk possible disadvantages? We are sufficiently busy with everyday skirmishes and shortcomings. We need most of our energy anyway to fight with elbows for attention and our place.

A new association of willing ones would not be a small village club, but would have an effective punch from the beginning. Crawling constantly in front of the USA is now completely incomprehensible. With swollen eyes from fat and disintegrated muscles in his head, the self-declared world leader no longer recognizes that a deadly gullet is opening up in front of him. Why the much larger Europe is faithfully and stupidly dallying behind him is not only questionable, but has long since become unintelligible to the inhabitants. If populations of other European countries had as much guts in their asses as the French, tangible changes would probably be possible. Europe would possibly develop the courage to lead a new alliance.

There are many things the world does not need. Least of all pathologically psychopathic warmongers whose arrogance is surpassed by stupidity.

There is little the world needs to make the world a better place. First, an impulse to open the door to new ways. Our ancestors turned their fear into courage. We haven't lost that ability, just buried it under fries and chip bags.

In contrast, mental deficits are less measurable in kilograms. On the one hand, simple ways of thinking consist of light structures that are revealed by one-dimensional views, expressions and behaviour. On the other hand, the excessive mantra of being a world leader does not require complicated mental effort because it is simply repeated. In this respect, overloading is unlikely.

Even if under-complex brain circuits themselves are hardly noticeable, they can be a heavy blow to the environment. Loud rumbling, boorish behaviour and giving elephant in the china shop stretch all pain receptors to the limit of tolerance. Although the roots of some of the most influential music styles are rooted in America, there is no carte blanche for them to be cultural outcasts. Indigenous peoples can sing countless laments about this.

There is no doubt that the Americans are extremely annoyed by the fact that so little oil is stored in their territory and that they are therefore dependent on what they consider to be inferior countries. Because their own discoveries can only be elicited from the earth with considerable technical effort and expense, they construct a colourful potpourri of pretended reasons to install a permanent presence in the Middle East by means of military raids.

But how seriously one should take a country that prefers to let masses of innocent children die in rampages rather than to take away the weapons of the simpletons with inferiority complexes and delusions of grandeur? To this end, permanently invoking the right enshrined in the Constitution, but immediately amending it in order to stir up trouble against foreigners?

Can one take seriously a country that indulges uninhibited gluttony but offers no system for the consequences? That does not trust anyone and monitors everything, but demands unconditional allegiance? That proclaimes freedom constantly, but in the fine print expects to yield unbridled profit, otherwise it is adapted to the demands? That declares itself an idol and model capitalist, but people can only tolerate this in a drug frenzy? That can't keep balance and is basically out of money? That demands a senseless wastefulness from all allies, although their misguided use is obvious? That sells actions for one's own end as a pleasure for all, and insults mutates into a defiant infant, missing thanks? That seeks his salvation in space because of plundering and destroying his own home? That closes eyes to its own actions? That reaps only head shaking outside its borders?

No one with regard and intellect submits a lame duck. Threatened with arms or resorting to other drastic means, the world community should isolate them. Perhaps some certain sanity will return then.

How do politicians and many people get the idea to equate security with freedom and to promote it as such? Nobody would consider a prison as an institution of freedom – quite the contrary. Nevertheless, they strive with all their might to install one above everything and everyone. Are we humans already so degenerated that even hair-raising contradictions/antagonisms are accepted?

Exemplarily every anonymization is chased through the stable. On the one hand, every form of privacy is fully advocated as protection of the individual, on the other hand, it is outlawed as a risk to economic growth.

Unfortunately, politicians around the world are making wrong decisions. The perversion of intentions therefore triggers counter-reactions everywhere. Uprising and rebellion become a daily occurrence because corrupt politicians are no longer able to realistically acknowledge their own actions. In addition, a transparent citizen makes any manipulative work easier for them.

Anonymization speaks with split tongue. Means safety, but demands total nakedness. Submission is the price. Anyone who does not want to pay this price is excluded and, at best, thrown to the public as persona non grata. Private? Contradicts social welfare, ergo profit, and is therefore frowned upon.

But looking at the big picture leaves a face distorted with pain. Tormented by the discrepancies between weel and woe, because woe is praised as weel and weel is ostracized.

Three thematic blocks dominated the spectrum of attention: climate – naturally –; increasing segregation and isolation, with a resulting increase in aggression; and the ongoing attempt of ruling castes to square the circle by squeezing freedom and security into the same drawer.

Above all, the rampant loss of our individual, unique and distinguishing feature hovers: Humanity. Characterized by the growing legitimization of inhuman behavior. Under the cloaks of freedom of speech and economic viability, manners have established themselves to which human values are alien.

Selfishness is nothing new for humans. However, placing this above the preservation of our race crosses a red line. Traditionally, we find external influences difficult to recognize or take into account. Not mentioning their consequences.

The world is burning and corrupt governments continue to protect the booty of thieves from the stolen.

Political failures, such as German Minister of Transport Andreas Scheuer or Minister of Agriculture Julia Klöckner, gloat over their authority, unable to assume responsibility and detect incompetence. The lack of self-awareness, defined in the Dunning-Kruger-Effect, does not exclude elites.

Among themselves, all interaction becomes rough and raw, politically encouraged by the withdrawal of the power of enlightening institutions. Cutting off the water from critical associations by depriving them of their non-profit status is infamous and an abuse of power. This year it has been more public than ever before. Positions profiteers and lobbyists preferences become openly apparent and are only half-heartedly invalidated by those involved.

To elect our incompetent, former minister of defence Ursula von der Leyen as Europe's boss against all odds stinks for miles. Despite the pretense of democracy, unconsciousness is spreading across the country and awakening needs for support. Staggeringly, people are susceptible to melodious promises that are not further questioned. According to the well-known wisdom, after all, one is always smarter, protects equally common saying, from mistakes one learns, no repeat offenders. A hot plate is something everyone understands by touch, not by warnings.

Unfortunately, we fulfill the wish, our daily poison give us today, with growing enthusiasm. More and more chemistry we stuff into ourselves – voluntarily, because it makes everything cheaper. We don't realize that this makes the ground beneath our feet unbearable. Fortunately, we only see how well everything burns in news broadcasts. So it does not affect us and we Europeans are not involved anyway.

The fact that we eat plastic from the weight of a credit card every week does not bother anyone either, because it has no negative effects and, above all, because it happens unnoticed.

We are increasingly spraying a colourful bouquet of poisons verbally. Sinking inhibition thresholds reveal deep gaps within our race. The damage is devastating, especially since it is increasing. Nobody can imagine how this will end and certainly does not want to.

Worldwide, people seem to agree on only one thing: Amputate brain mass, ergo reduce thinking capacity and make it less complex.

In 2019 switches have been set, whether more or less than before is irrelevant. Decisive is that they were set in the direction of the ram, which is now clearly visible and shining from afar. While the outcry by #FridaysForFuture may at least be perceptible, it is still too quiet on the one hand and comes much too late on the other. The participants should have learned something about motional energy in physics lessons, despite truancy on Fridays. Still connections remain cloudy. Acknowledging misbehavior by parents and grandparents – at least – resists the ability to assign blame to the family. In this respect, there are no conclusions that promote the goal. Nutella is so good for the soul and Nespresso so incredibly practical...

To specify and show all of this year's failures exceeds available capacity – which does not mean the space here. The review is therefore neither comprehensive nor fulfilling and merely sketches the stale taste of failure. Perhaps 2019 will one day be called the year of brilliant failure. As the year in which we raced past the last exit against our better judgment. Overall, it was a shameful year. According to the law, worse always goes, the next, new decade will have a colossal false start.

As a result, we are able to grasp dimensions, but not to understand them. When in Indonesia an area as big as ten football fields is cleared per hour, this may be an understandable comparison, but it does not give us an idea of its full extent – and certainly not of its consequences and interrelationships.

This behaved just as the size of our planet. We can look at the bare figures, stand in Russia's taiga or the Sahara and yet only see everything up to the horizon. It doesn't matter whether the complexity overwhelms us, it stands in the way of our efforts to dominate. Depending on our position domination preciousness demands submission and possession of everything that can be achieved. We can only rise on the backs of others and rise above others, including natural resources.

The terms prosperity, wealth and possession may differ in detail, but in terms of content they aim at the same meaning: to have more, to be more than others. General consensus is that we don't just literally go over dead bodies for this. Because even if only a few people put their finger directly on the trigger of a gun, their decisions have comparable effects. This is where the aforementioned limitations come in handy. If everyone were to consider the chain of their decisions, we would have a different world. But because our own prosperity comes before everything else, we are not interested in the cruel effects. For the same reason, we reject both guilt and responsibility.

Coffee in small aluminium capsules are chic and convenient. If there were pictures of destroyed nature and of people who died as a result, they would probably not be as useful. However, the frightening pictures on cigarette packets show that humans still think more about fulfilling our well-being than about dealing with the consequences. Even if enjoyment makes us ill and causes us to die prematurely.

No matter what it takes reflects the invisible part of our life motto; the visible thrifty is nifty. We want everything at a small price. Again, limitations make us believe that this attitude is perfectly fine, after all, it's for our own good. The fact that the actual bill is far more extensive and far-reaching, lies beyond our horizon and therefore does not come into play.

Economy is run by people and differs from the individual only by the much greater might. Like a monstrous vacuum cleaner, large corporations suck capital and resources from markets and floors. What is devastating here is that the politicians, who are actually installed as the regulating layer, participate in this disastrous undertaking. But since the same mentality of thinking, including limitations, prevails across all borders, levels and strata, the community raid is not surprising.

With the intelligence mentioned at the beginning, we are merely acquiring tools to drive the speed of exploitation. Like a cancer we kill our livelihood. What appears to be a more than stupid approach can once again be explained by present narrowness. We cannot comprehend the temporal dimensions. If our actions have an effect in 100 years, we may grasp the numbers, but not the complex context. Most of the processes we trigger lie beyond our horizon and concern, making them irrelevant.

We could do otherwise, but we already fail at the idea. That is why we stubbornly follow the path we have chosen, ignoring warning signs and simply making sure that we reach our own end as unharmed as possible. As far as limitations are concerned, we should be close to perfection. The waste of our potential is regrettable and a shame.

Unfortunately, mankind is increasingly accelerating the destruction of its environment, so species are dying out before they are discovered. So how do you know they existed? At some point in time, someone will find remains somewhere that do not match any known species, which can then be analyzed and assigned using the technical methods available today.

All endangered species end up on a red list that can be viewed by everyone on the web. For simplification the stock has now been made searchable. Whether an easier search can save species is debatable, but perhaps it will raise awareness and attention in one's own actions.

The ecosystem is not there for our benefit, but it is our life. Will we ever understand this?

However, it is obvious who the winners are. One person's suffering is another person's joy. Everybody depends on his own life and is willing to do everything for every extension, but above all to pay every price. It is well known that these future investments are only limited to one's own life and are not intended for future generations, even if they are one's own children. This paradox proves the current climate discussions.

When it comes to the price of life, on the other hand, the pharmaceutical industry is getting bright eyes. They effortlessly turn the price screw upwards, which apparently knows no end. Moral and ethical brakes were abolished by neoliberalism. The same goes for reason and decency, with which no profit can be made.

It is only stupid if these expensive therapies are not worth their costs and it even turns out that more natural methods achieve better results, even if they are impudent enough to be cheaper. In order not to let their own profit sponges degenerate into trickles, the powerful industry is not squeamish. After all, there is enough capital to crush every objection, every doubter the bud. Paid in by patients hungry for life, who may be putting themselves on their own feet. If they are prevented with their money from discovering alternatives that may be more effective, they pay their shortsightedness twice as much.

Today, to use the word health in this context borders on mockery. It is a disease industry that, following the profit maxim, needs an increase in sick people. If the supply is not sufficient, then help is needed. In this respect, the sick system of neoliberalism fits perfectly, whereby these two should have never come together.

In the end, everyone had dug into this pit and had to swallow the bitterest pill.
