Občanská válka v Americe je velmi blízko. Což je cílem Project2025 organizace Heritage Foundation, podle kterého Trumpův režim jede.

Civil war in America is very close. Which is the goal of Heritage Foundation's Project2025, which the Trump regime is riding on.

Militarizace společnosti a vyvolávání vnějších i vnitřních konfliktů je záměrem Trumpa a jeho lidí. Stojí na to jejich zvrácená teologie. USA je v tuto chvíli pokažená teokracie, proto je to tak silné. Nejde jen o ropu, nejde jen o drogy, jde o zvrácený náboženský fanatismus. Nedopadne to dobře, pokud Trumpa nezastaví klíčový počet kongresmanů.

Militarizing society and causing external and internal conflicts is the intention of Trump and his people. Their twisted theology stands on it. The US is a broken theocracy at the moment, that's why it's so strong. It's not just about oil, it's not just about drugs, it's about twisted religious fanaticism. It won't go well unless Trump is stopped by a key number of congressmen.

Popisoval jsem to v dosud nejpodrobnějším českém článku na toto téma minulý rok, na začátku vlády Trumpovy Opus Dei. Tehdy to bylo možné označit za odhad. Dnes víme, že to je realita.

I described it in the most detailed Czech article on this topic so far last year, at the beginning of the Trump Opus Dei administration. At that time it could be described as an estimate. Today we know that this is reality.

Mrkněte na to:

Check it out:

Aby tyto spodní křesťanské proudy posilovaly pro ně žádoucí konflikt, zaměřuje se jejich biblická exegeze (výklad Bible) na zcela z kontextu vytržené čtení starozákonních textů o „dobývání a obraně země zaslíbené“, kde hledají ospravedlnění pro imperiální a obecně radikální politiku, zatímco Ježíšova evangelijní láska k bližním má v jejich pojetí smůlu.

In order for these undercurrents of Christian to reinforce the desired conflict for them, their biblical exegesis (interpretation of the Bible) focuses on a completely contextual reading of the Old Testament texts on the „conquest and defense of the promised land“, where they seek justification for imperial and generally radical politics, while Jesus' evangelical love for fellow man has bad luck in their concept.

S takovým mindsetem není přes čáru nic, co vede k eskalování konfliktu. Válku samotnou tyto skupiny ztotožňují s hrdinskými taženími „Boha zástupů“, která vedli starozákonní Gedeon nebo král David. Král David se ostatně podle Kashe Patela, nového šéfa FBI a jednoho z ústředních amerických konspirátorů a šiřitelů ultrapravicové křesťanské konspirační teorie QAnon, něco jako „reinkarnoval“ do Krále Donalda Trumpa. Trump dle QAnonu bojuje proti satanistickému deep state, který unáší ve velkém děti a obchoduje s nimi…

With such a mindset, there is nothing over the line that leads to an escalating conflict. The war itself is identified by these groups with the heroic campaigns of „God of hosts“, which were led by the Old Testament Gideon or King David. After all, according to Kash Patel, the new head of the FBI and one of the central American conspirators and spreaders of the ultra-right Christian conspiracy theory QAnon, something like „reincarnoval“ into King Donald Trump. Trump is fighting a satanic deep state that kidnaps and trades in large numbers children, according to QAnon...

„Nabijte muškety!“

„Charge the muskets!“

„It's time to circle the wagons and load the muskets.“

„It's time to circle the wagons and load the muskets.“

To je pokřik či heslo, s kterým se Vance před volbami rozjel na kampaň mezi křesťanské radikály. A nemyslel to jen obrazně. Integralismus, stejně jako Opus Dei, totiž říká, že když by nějaká změna trvala „evolučně“ moc dlouho, je potřeba ji prorazit rychleji.

This is the shout or slogan with which Vance started campaigning among Christian radicals before the elections. And he didn't just mean it figuratively. Integralism, like Opus Dei, says that if a change takes „evolutionarily“ too long, it needs to be broken through faster.

To je na tom to vůbec nejzásadnější, co je potřeba pochopit. Základ jejich teologie je militantní a boj/válku bere jako součást prosazování pravé víry! Tohle jsme zvyklí běžně poslouchat od radikálních muslimů, v euroamerické civilizaci nám to zní dost cize a známe to jen epizodicky, v novodobých dějinách asi zejména v irském konfliktu, který je ale poměrně odlehlý a lokalizovaný. Teď se musíme připravit, že to bude přicházet masivně i z USA.

That's the most important thing to understand. The basis of their theology is militant and takes combat/war as part of the promotion of true faith! We are used to listening to this routinely from radical Muslims, it sounds quite foreign to us in Euro-American civilization and we only know it episodically, in modern history probably especially in the Irish conflict, which is relatively remote and localized. Now we have to prepare that it will come massively from the USA as well.

Ostentativní militantnost trumpistického režimu - proti vnějšímu světu i „vnitřnímu nepříteli“ - se dá dobře vysledovat na tom, jak Vance v rámci propojování spodních katolických a evangelikálních proudů na svou stranu dostal struktury jako katolické Church Militant. To je tak vypovídající název, že jen není potřeba překládat a více vysvětlovat.

The Trumpist regime's ostentatious militancy - against the outside world and „internal enemy“ - can be well traced to how Vance, as part of connecting the lower Catholic and evangelical currents, got structures like the Catholic Church Militant on his side. This is such a telling name that there is just no need to translate and explain more.

Ve společných vystoupeních Bannona s šéfem Heritage Foundation Kevinem Robertsem se hovoří o tom, že jsme ve „druhé revoluci“, která bude dokončena do roku 2050 a bude se shodovat s novým „Velkým probuzením“, „Great Awakening“, které přivede Ameriku k Bohu.

Bannon's joint appearances with Heritage Foundation head Kevin Roberts say we're in „second revolution“, which will be completed by 2050 and coincide with a new „Great Awakening“, „Great Awakening“, which will bring America to God.

Roberts obhajuje potřebou diktátorského leadershipu a otevřeně vyhrožuje násilím proti jakémukoli odporu vůči této revoluci. Také lpí na tom, že „Boží zákon může mít ve skutečnosti obrovský vliv na světské zákony“.

Roberts advocates the need for dictatorial leadership and openly threatens violence against any resistance to this revolution. It also clings to the fact that „God's law can actually have a huge effect on worldly laws“.

Curious about what, en-->EL

 Lingvanex Translation: English (British) → Greek

Why, and curious about what
Γιατί, και περίεργος για τι

Some researchers have suggested that curiosity is its own drive, like hunger or thirst. The idea being that, since it is hard to know what piece of information might come in handy in the future to help us satiate our other needs, evolution built in a drive to seek out information for its own sake, for us to accumulate in case it becomes useful.
Μερικοί ερευνητές έχουν προτείνει ότι η περιέργεια είναι η δική της ορμή, όπως η πείνα ή η δίψα. Η ιδέα είναι ότι, δεδομένου ότι είναι δύσκολο να γνωρίζουμε ποια πληροφορία θα μπορούσε να φανεί χρήσιμη στο μέλλον για να μας βοηθήσει να ικανοποιήσουμε τις άλλες ανάγκες μας, η εξέλιξη βασίστηκε σε μια προσπάθεια αναζήτησης πληροφοριών για χάρη της, για να συσσωρευτούμε σε περίπτωση που γίνει χρήσιμο.

But all this infophilia raises an important question: if we like information so much, why don’t we seek out more of it? Most of us are constantly surrounded by various machines and phenomena we have only the dimmest understanding of. As I write these words, in front of me is a microphone. How does a microphone convert sound, made up of waves of air, into an electrical signal? I have no idea. I similarly have no clue how the motor in my standing desk converts electricity into movement.
Αλλά όλη αυτή η ινφοφιλία εγείρει ένα σημαντικό ερώτημα: αν μας αρέσουν τόσο πολύ οι πληροφορίες, γιατί δεν αναζητούμε περισσότερες από αυτές? Οι περισσότεροι από εμάς περιβάλλονται συνεχώς από διάφορες μηχανές και φαινόμενα για τα οποία έχουμε μόνο την πιο αμυδρή κατανόηση. Καθώς γράφω αυτές τις λέξεις, μπροστά μου υπάρχει ένα μικρόφωνο. Πώς ένα μικρόφωνο μετατρέπει τον ήχο, που αποτελείται από κύματα αέρα, σε ηλεκτρικό σήμα? Δεν έχω ιδέα. Ομοίως, δεν έχω ιδέα πώς ο κινητήρας στο όρθιο γραφείο μου μετατρέπει την ηλεκτρική ενέργεια σε κίνηση.

It isn’t just technology that raises these questions. How do the trees I see out of my window convert sunlight into usable energy? Other than the word ‘photosynthesis’, I wouldn’t be able to tell you. I have only a slight understanding of the chemical properties of water that make it act in its characteristic ‘wet’ way, allowing it to run over my hands, bead up if I have oil or lotion on my hands, and get easily absorbed by a towel.
Δεν είναι μόνο η τεχνολογία που εγείρει αυτά τα ερωτήματα. Πως τα δέντρα που βλέπω από το παράθυρό μου μετατρέπουν το φως του ήλιου σε χρησιμοποιήσιμη ενέργεια? Εκτός από τη λέξη ‘photosynthesis’, δεν θα μπορούσα να σας πω. Έχω μόνο μια μικρή κατανόηση των χημικών ιδιοτήτων του νερού που το κάνουν να ενεργεί με τον χαρακτηριστικό ‘wet’ τρόπο του, επιτρέποντάς του να τρέχει πάνω από τα χέρια μου, να σηκώνει χάντρες αν έχω λάδι ή λοσιόν στα χέρια μου και να απορροφάται εύκολα από μια πετσέτα.

I have access to vast amounts of knowledge through the internet. A simple search would turn up information that might dramatically improve my understanding of all these phenomena. And yet I’ve never once stopped to look up answers to these specific questions.
Έχω πρόσβαση σε τεράστιες ποσότητες γνώσης μέσω του διαδικτύου. Μια απλή αναζήτηση θα εμφάνιζε πληροφορίες που θα μπορούσαν να βελτιώσουν δραματικά την κατανόησή μου για όλα αυτά τα φαινόμενα. Και όμως δεν σταμάτησα ούτε μια φορά να ψάξω απαντήσεις σε αυτές τις συγκεκριμένες ερωτήσεις.

Humans are curious, but we are selectively curious. Of course, we can’t be curious about everything – each of us has limited time to indulge in information consumption. But why is it that we might be so driven to learn, say, the resolution of a TV plot but feel little compulsion to learn about how our devices work or other aspects of everyday life? What explains our particular patterns of curiosity?
Οι άνθρωποι είναι περίεργοι, αλλά είμαστε επιλεκτικά περίεργοι. Φυσικά, δεν μπορούμε να είμαστε περίεργοι για τα πάντα – ο καθένας μας έχει περιορισμένο χρόνο για να επιδοθεί στην κατανάλωση πληροφοριών. Αλλά γιατί μπορεί να οδηγηθούμε τόσο πολύ να μάθουμε, ας πούμε, την επίλυση μιας τηλεοπτικής πλοκής, αλλά να νιώθουμε ελάχιστο εξαναγκασμό να μάθουμε πώς λειτουργούν οι συσκευές μας ή άλλες πτυχές της καθημερινής ζωής? Τι εξηγεί τα ιδιαίτερα μοτίβα περιέργειάς μας?

Fable Cottage, subtitled text online--fantastic!

Bored with the hodegepodge here?

This is a brilliant and rich resource for online interlinear-like stories--definitely better than this site for fun stuff to read. 

Fable Cottage

I love the idea that they have foregrounded the idea of testing oneself to see if you remember as much as you thought you should of a language that you perhaps once studied (my paraphrase) . . . because that is precisely what has motivated me to work on this and related sites having to do with subtitled text. 

Check them out, really. Well worth the time to stop by and even try all their free stuff.

Two children's stories, English to Czech

Revised: 29.12.25

Object lesson.

These stories were not given as perfect examples of the Czech language, as noted. One was proofread by a native speaker and corrections were made. Although DeepL was considered by many among my friends and acquaintances, it is flawed. Consider what an everyday CS reader did with the Amalka story. 

https://inter-linearnichesite.org/amalka.html 
about a young girl "telling stories" and

 https://inter-linear.nichesite.org/danny.html 
about a young boy learning languages

These were created as gifts to my CZ grandchildren. CS is not easy to translate . . . I used DeepL to do it, having been recommended this engine by current and former EFL students. 

 It is not that DeepL doesn't make mistakes. In a story about a child and a tree, the machine translation came up with car boot or luggage compartment for trunk, as in tree trunk. How could it miss the context? If just did, so proofreading is always needed and recommended . . . until machine language translation perfection is reached, which I believe will be never, especially with literary texts.

 What DeepL did that others messed up badly was correctly use CS-convention quotation marks. A minor detail, yes, but I saw that and didn't have to ask native CS speakers to proofread those translations. 

 BECAUSE these DeepL translations were to aid/help decode/learn/practice reading EN. Imperfect as these translations may be, they will be good enough for the intended purpose.
