10:00 I am awake for more than an hour but the second i came to the computer, two things happened. Place filled with an identified smoke and the man upstairs started to squeak. I went outside, found a few rather shallow pockets under grass, let the door open to air, but the man climbed down and up the stairs and then i lit a candle, to deal with eventual dust. Thing is, i can't read the news because i am too distracted by what's happening around me.

So i'm just going to write what came to mind before i came at the computer and my thoughts were only mine. For the first time i remember in this war, casualties numbers are given. One more military base have been hit and 35 people died. 30 missiles fired from over Black and Azov sea. At first, last night, were including "foreign military advisors" but that has changed according to... what? People's perception and will?

Back in the day before the advent of media kings and elites where ruling the world. Now peoples themselves. We live in a democracy. Back in the day kings and elites were ruling the world taking decisions based on the informations they had and sometimes taking people's will more or less into account. How many times they screwed up? Most times.

Nowadays we the people rule the world according to information given (volunteered) by this and that madia outlet. However news are very incomplete and fluid (changing all the time).

So i had to come at the computer and look at the map to see where that still untouched military base was sitting. Training camp, western most, near "NATO frontline", weapons and refugees convoys. Again today without dead foreign advisors that were mentioned last night. I didn't know until now there was a NATO frontline which implies NATO is at war, by their only rule, if one is hit, everyone is hit. I didn't know until now they were weapons convoys entering Ukraine (though it is kinda obvious, those Javelines must got there somehow). Or maybe they were keeping it quiet so the Russians won't know. Not their leaders, but the people. Or maybe Putin who is "constantly misinformed" and "is told what he wants to hear". One day Ukraine's military infrastructure is destroyed (without given casualties) and they need Javelins. Last day, a Russian Su-34 is hit by an Ukrainian air defense unit and another military base part of the still existing critical infrastructure is hit by Russians. This time only, with precise casualties list. I had to look to see what military bases have been hit before. But the only coherent thing i could find as timeline and locations was this animated Wikipedia time line (again done by volunteers, like Android - best things are free).

Yes it is true that people rule the world, but not the way they think. Or maybe in a way, the way they think. It's not like they are given information and then they take decisions that are executed. It's more like they approve or not what their leaders are doing. And the leaders are doing what the're doing based on polls, official or secret, and a little something more, which is always a surprise for the people. Pleasant or not, they have to go with what the leaders are doing cause weekend is short and Monday should go back to work. But what exactly are they doing? Leave it to them leaders politicians, they know what they're doing.

No in Russia there is no democracy, but politicians (sorry for the plural, there is only one, used it for consistency of style) are still doing what they can within limits of what people think (shadows always point north), again always with a twist or a flavor which is the unpredictability of a mad man's will combined with the fluidity and uncertainty of the whole situation. Or again, a fake madman hijacking and misdirecting the will of the people (hijacking and misdirecting happens in all countries), which is my favorite theory.

What exactly is happening in Ukraine, and generally with the world? Take a guess. Or read the news.

Yes we are safe, they are only taking our will into account, among with many other things (whatever serves them best). It's our minds that aren't.

1:03 A year has passed, got to switch back to xfinity by Comacast. Got the same modem i unplugged a year ago, but wait to see the fuss.

1:38 OK CNN changed an article, or replaced it with a summary, at the same link taken from my browser's history, can't find anymore the search terms "weapon convoys", "foreign military" etc.. NATO frontline is ubiquitous though again disappeared from this article. Or they just tricked me. I'm sorry i didn't put the link right away, as i always do, but i'm quite tired of putting links.
