Milanese radio amateur picked up a suspicious message

Radio amateur Roberto from Milan stirred up spirits among his colleagues after picking up a mysterious voice in Farsi speaking a series of digits on his device. Coincidence or not, this strange signal appeared on the same day as the start of American attacks on Iran, which caused speculation about the possible involvement of the American intelligence agency CIA.

When You Have Everything, It's Like Having Nothing

Destinations like Dubai and Abu Dhabi are undoubtedly something everyone desires to visit and relax in. Luxury, splendor, yachts, the most modern hotels, the center of global business, a place for the rich who have everything and are certainly powerful people in every respect. Many of them decide the fate of millions of us on planet Earth. However, since Israel, along with the USA, attacked Iran, and since Iran decided to retaliate fiercely against US military bases across the Middle East, and even against Israel itself, and of course, the United Arab Emirates has become one of the targets that Tehran has aimed at with its missiles, all that power and splendor of Dubai and Abu Dhabi has turned into considerable panic. Of course, it was sad to see the panic fleeing through the streets of Dubai and the evacuation of Burj Khalifa. War is always a great sorrow, grayness, sadness, and suffering, and it affects everyone. It spares neither the poor nor the rich. Everything you have accumulated can turn to dust and ashes in an instant. All those who fled in panic from the sunbeds on the beaches and pools in Dubai undoubtedly had everything in life, but in a few moments, all that they had became somewhat meaningless, because when the airspace is closed, and there are no planes to return, and when missiles fall randomly, even on the facilities of the richest in the world, the wealth they have is practically worthless. I am writing all this primarily because of the fact that we should never envy someone for having more than us, nor for being materially rich, because in the situations mentioned, I have shown you that all the earthly treasures of this world that you have are absolutely worthless when great war horrors begin. Until yesterday, you could buy anything and never thought you would fall into the worst despair, because today you might give everything you have just to escape the war zone and save your life. During the numerous wars that have taken place in history, the richest knew how to give sacks of money for a sack of flour. Thus, God actually shows and proves to you that earthly wealth is a relative matter, because today you have it, and tomorrow it can all disappear, and become worthless and meaningless. Just put your finger on your forehead and think about how many people in the world have acquired tremendous wealth through the worst corruption, extortion, robbery, murder, drug dealing, in general, through the worst crime. Of course, some used their social positions, some achieved it directly with a gun and a bullet, but both are certainly criminal. The former, in a way, took from their own people, i.e., from the poor, and the latter considered force sufficient to become materially rich in this earthly life. Just when you thought you had become someone and something, and afforded yourself a mini-vacation in Dubai, then missiles start whistling past the expensive hotel you are staying in. Some more powerful people decided to go to war and seize foreign territories, oil fields, and other natural resources. Then you remember God and start saying that everything that is happening to you is injustice, you pray to God to get out alive and you remember how you might have acquired that wealth. In a way, it's the same way these powerful people who started the war want to do it, only you did it on a micro-level, because you showed your strength to the weaker and the poor, just as the most powerful are doing on a global level today towards the weaker. I don't want to sound like some messianic righteous person, but perhaps all this that is happening to humanity is actually an attempt to return humanity to factory settings. Arrogance, extortion, robbery, oppression of the weaker, all this has become normal. International norms have been trampled, rules no longer exist, and force is considered the only means to achieve a goal. Currently, the slogan is that force doesn't ask God, but don't forget the continuation that tells us that God doesn't like force either. All this is a form of trial for us, and even God's permission, to reflect on our earthly arrogance, after which a return to factory settings must follow, because such lawlessness and life without any rules cannot survive. Therefore, I return to the life views of those who thought they had everything, and especially to those who found themselves on vacation in Dubai, realizing at that moment how situations can arise when you become powerless with all the wealth you have acquired. It is especially sobering for those who came to that wealth through extortion, because the force they once used against the weaker does not help today. Suddenly, they found themselves in a never richer environment, glitter, luxury, top beaches, crazy hotels, and missiles are falling around them, and they cannot move from there. How much happier a shepherd, a poor man, looks, who guards sheep and enjoys the beauty of a meadow with his flock, having just enough to afford to feed his family today, but can freely walk far from the horrors of war. That extremely rich person who found himself in Dubai would give pure gold to be able to trade places with that shepherd at the moment of shelling of Dubai. Then you put your finger on your forehead and ask – who is truly richer? We must finally, in our own minds, and above all in our souls and hearts, clear for ourselves which values we are fighting for. For me, the ideal of a free Serbia in which I can live decently from my work is the holiest thing. I don't bother anyone, I don't envy anyone, I don't attack anyone, I don't look into anyone else's yard, but I defend my own and enjoy my freedom. I see that many are rushing to go on vacation. It's great that they can afford expensive destinations, but let them think a little if it's worth coming to temptation like those in Dubai. Serbia is still the most beautiful because it is ours, it has wonderful nature and great places for rest. Why throw money away on expensive destinations in these difficult times? Isn't it better to pay in our Serbia and enjoy its beauties? To be among our own, to stick together, to visit our holy places, beautiful mountains, rivers, lakes, and to breathe that breath of freedom with full lungs. Modesty is not a flaw. On the contrary, modesty is a virtue. Given the state of the world and the succession of conflicts, Zlatibor and Kopaonik will be a haven of safety compared to the Mediterranean and all those destinations that many paid dearly to lie on. Therefore, as the folk proverb says – pick mushrooms around your own field. I return to the beginning of the text, writing all this under the disturbing impression of the terrible war conflict that looms over the Middle East. Today, material wealth has become irrelevant. We never learn that a modest person, no matter the situation, will know how to manage, because little is needed for his happiness. The extremely rich person, when shipwrecked, never recovers and his life turns into hell, because he has not learned to live happily if not in silk and velvet. To the end of his life, he throws blame on God and everyone is to blame for his catastrophe, but he never looks at his previous life and where he might have sinned, thus experiencing a breakdown. We always considered the one who has a villa, a 'Bentley', and a chance to sunbathe in rich destinations to be a happy person. We did not know how to recognize the happiness that God has given us, and it is in family, modesty, in our own home, and faith in the Lord. My heart is at ease when I have a good relationship with my neighbor, the freedom to walk wherever I want in my country, to sleep peacefully, and to have peace in my country. Ukraine was a country with an enormous number of extremely wealthy people. Now all that is useless to them, because each of them would give all their material wealth for a day of peace. Serbia today is an oasis of peace, and that is our greatest wealth in this world. That is what we must protect at all costs, so that we can experience true joys, such as our children growing up to be upright people, finishing school and getting an education, and rejoicing in their successes. Let's realize that humanity is increasingly entering a phase where material wealth will be less and less important, and true happiness will be if you preserve peace in the country and if you are free. Those who experienced rocket attacks in Dubai had everything, and at that moment, they practically had nothing. Their wealth seemed worthless.

Trump Needs Uninformed Europe for War

Donald Trump has once again demonstrated that he makes key decisions like a skilled trader, following his instincts rather than listening to national security advisors. While praising Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the White House, because Germany ceded the Ramstein air base for an attack on Iran without superfluous questions, the president admitted that he was guided by intuition to draw America into a war that 59 percent of his compatriots do not support.
