In Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoevsky was not writing a crime novel in the modern sense. He was staging a moral experiment, almost a trial, asking a single, dangerous question… What happens if a human being believes they stands beyond moral law?
Dostoevsky is attacking the 19th century faith that human reason, detached from conscience, can replace moral truth. Raskolnikov’s crime is not merely murder, it is the attempt to think himself above humanity. Above the people around him
For Dostoevsky, reason can justify almost anything, yet the soul will not believe it. Raskolnikov discovers that guilt is not a social construct and conscience is not learned behavior. You can deny them intellectually, but you cannot escape them existentially. They are fatal

There is a handful of US states and large cities with so much debt that, unless they act to reduce it soon, we will see tragedy.

The States: California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Kentucky. The Cities: New York, San Francisco, Chicago.
You see, when one is in debt, there are limited ways to handle that debt.

Just how toxic and detrimental to your health is alcohol?
Long-term use of alcohol:
• damages nearly every organ and system in the body.
• alcohol is linked to more than 60 different diseases
•Risks include malnutrition, chronic pancreatitis, alcoholic liver disease (e.g., permanent liver scarring) and several types of cancer.
•alcohol can damage the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system
•public health advise is that there is no 'safe' alcohol limit with even small quantities increasing the risk of some cancers
Guess which group has historically profited off of alcohol distribution and sales?

Which group dominated the liquor industry in Europe in the modern era?
Je/ws have a long and very influential history in the alcohol industry spanning Europe, occupied Palestine and North America too.
For most of the 1800s, Eastern European Je/ws held a virtual monopoly on the business in their regions. They produced much of the beer and hard alcohol and ran almost all of the taverns where it was sold.
Jews had been in the trade for centuries, but when Polish landowners saw they could make 50% greater profits by turning grain into alcohol than by selling it for food, Je/ws seized the chance to play an integral role.
Jew/ish participation in the alcohol business was so prevalent that according to Glenn Dynner, author of Yankel’s Tavern: Jews, Liquor, & Life in the Kingdom of Poland, between 30 and 40% of Poland’s Je/ws (including women and children) worked in the industry.

Who were famous kosher families who profited off of the liquor industry?
The Zimmermans were among the famous and award-winning producers of Tokaj wine.
The Herzog family produced such high-quality wine (alongside their beer and spirits) that Emperor Franz Josef appointed them his exclusive wine suppliers.
In 1848, the Shor family opened a winery in the Old City of Jerusalem, adjacent to the Temple Mount itself. They were joined in the business in 1870 by the Tepperbergs and 1889 by the winery later to be known as Carmel. These laid the groundwork for the booming wine industry that exists in occupied Palestine today.
And of course the Bronfmans owned the biggest liquor distribution company in the world, Seagrams.
Others include the Kaback, Kratchmer, Schenkman, Korczak, Vigoda, Winick, to name but a few!
Plus, many of the alcohol businesses run by 19th century Jews still exist today, including the Israeli wineries, Loewenbrau Brewery, Herzog Winery, and Fleischmann’s Spirits!

They also appear to have a woman deployed to perform narrative control on this topic. The goal is to ensure the public is not aware of the relationship between Russia and the child abuse conducted from afar.
Another related acronym is "DNB" (don't ask what it stands for). Note the original poster with a trans flag in bio. They actively hunt for vulnerable Western children.

Infrastructure for Tyranny
In 1933, the Nazis did not hide Dachau.
They invited outsiders to see it.
Foreign correspondents were escorted through the newly opened Dachau Concentration Camp and shown neat barracks, orderly rows of bunks, and prisoners moving through structured routines. Guards stood upright and disciplined. The grounds appeared controlled, even efficient. What visitors saw looked administrative.

Foreign correspondents were escorted through the newly opened Dachau Concentration Camp and shown neat barracks, orderly rows of bunks, and prisoners moving through structured routines. Guards stood upright and disciplined. The grounds appeared controlled, even efficient. What visitors saw looked administrative.
The violence — already present — was kept out of sight.
Early outside impressions could therefore be framed in bureaucratic language: order, discipline, containment, political detention. The regime understood something essential: if you shape what observers see, you shape how institutions are understood.
And in 1933, Dachau was not yet a symbol of industrialized mass murder. It was a political detention center. Its prisoners were primarily communists, social democrats, trade unionists, journalists, and critics of the new regime.

The Nazi’s genocidal machinery came later.
First came the infrastructure.
To understand what that infrastructure meant in practice, it helps to look at one of the men who passed through Dachau in its earliest weeks.
Hans Beimler, a Communist member of the Reichstag, was arrested in April 1933 and taken to Dachau shortly after the camp opened. His experience bore little resemblance to the orderly image shown to visitors.
