The French Compromise The Pride of the Olympics What you see now is a quote from the art piece in the framework of the opening of the Olympic Games in France. The people who commented on the event themselves were not sure if it was the last night of the Bible or the frame from the painting of Leonardo da Vinci. Whatever it was, the event caused a huge wave of criticism and pure disgust on Twitter and other media. It's hard to say what it was supposed to be, but regardless of the political option, many commented on the event as disgusting. You can tell me about it in the comments.
Polish politicians referred to this case, but also abroad, it did not go without an echo. Elon Musk commented on the case, for example. It is worth remembering that, as in 2015, an attack was also carried out in France at the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo. The newspaper was on the target list of Islamic extremists since February 2006, when it was reprinted by the caricature of Mahomet, a Danish journalist.
12 people died in the attack. And from that day on, a black series of attacks in all of France began. However, Paris did not give up on his jokes and this time he was to refer to Catholics. Regardless of what kind of faith it was, an intelligent man should not offend the feelings of other religious people.
Especially considering the past. I have a long distance and I can understand jokes with 2-1-3-7, but doing something like that at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games? Well, we haven't heard specifically from the Vatican, but we have heard now from those French bishops, as you mentioned.
I mean, they started off talking about how there were moments of beauty and joy during the ceremony, but they deeply regretted what they said was scenes of derision and mockery of Christianity. They said Christians could be hurt by these excesses and provocation of certain scenes. Now, they didn't actually mention that specific scene, but one can assume perhaps.
As you know, some time ago we created our brand for you, the Tuna Tea. Some of you are irritated by this name, and others like it. But it came from the fact that we like the tea we are going to make. And when we wanted to drink it, we asked ourselves, who is going to make Tuna Tea now? And that's where the name Tuna comes from.
I think it's a pretty good name. Now some history. Tea had its beginnings in China. And that was long before our era.
Exactly 3000 years earlier. Nevertheless, it reached Europe quite late, because only in the 17th century by Portuguese merchants. The first delivery of tea to Europe England took place in 1657, when Thomas Garway opened the first cafe in London, where tea was already served.
It quickly became a national drink. Now tea has evolved and we have a We even have our local products, such as in the case of Tuncia, tastes such as Polish Forest Treasures or Ice Tea. The second one is perfect for this heat.
We have a lot of mixtures, including Cuban rum. In addition, classics such as Sencha or the unique Japanese matcha from the first, i.e. the best collection. We also have blue tea, which does not owe its color to artificial dyes, but special flowers. We are talking specifically about turquoise Maldives. On our website, we also added a live chat to make it easier for you to buy.
So. You can also find all our teas on www.tuncia.pl. Our classic product, the board and other things, you can find on www.globalista.pl. Generally, everyone praises our store for fast deliveries and products, for which we are very grateful.
And now it's time for the material. The current games in Paris are specific in every respect. In addition to cardboard beds and plastic mattresses in the Olympic Village, there were also chairs made of plastic screws or tables made of plastic.
...used ping pong pallets. The athletes themselves are somewhat surprised by cardboard beds, but as they claim, they are even comfortable and durable. Plastic mattresses were made so that there was no problem with splinters, which are supposed to be a popular problem with sequins.
In addition, the aspect of ecology is supposed to be included in the game, because these materials are supposed to be used for recycling later. And here, when we open this bed, we have a vacuum cleaner. The sink, ok.
On this soft foam, you can touch it, elegant. And here are mattresses, and this is a cardboard bed. And these mattresses, they have, they are made of... It's made of a plastic but very soft structure Wait, let me open it It's made of a soft structure and it bends so nicely which makes you sleep very well This topic also caused a lot of controversy in the media and on the X.
At the Olympics in Paris, the competitors also have no ban on intimate contacts. As informed by Sky News, the director of the Olympic Village, Laurent Michaud, the Olympians will be able to use the free 300,000 condoms distributed by the organizers. We are aiming to have 300,000 condoms here at disposal for the athletes in the village. It's a quantity that makes sure that everybody will have what they're expecting and what they need.
We're going to have 14,250 resident athletes plus officials over here that are coming for this great event and to live an extraordinary experience here. We wanted to create some places where the athletes will feel very enthused. enthusiastic and comfortable so they can have some Conversations discussions and to share their core values about sports So we have made a village club also with the lounge with the sports bar with coca-cola and I mean no alcohol Of course over there, but it's gonna be a great place so they can actually share their moment And then bar no less it is already a certain standard and it is no wonder that the tradition has become to distribute condoms in sports and their team members during the Olympic Games.
According to the Washington Post, for the first time, this type of anti-conceptive means was distributed at the summer games in Seoul in 1988. 8,500 condoms were then prepared. The main goal of the organizers was to promote knowledge on preventing HIV from infecting people with the virus. In this respect, Paris is not exceptional. but the games themselves, in many respects, take place in the shadow of controversy.
However, this event, not to mention, is quite often held in quite specific conditions. The best example is the Winter Olympics in Sochi in Russia, just before Russia's planned invasion of the Crimea, or the Olympic Games in China, but one cannot be denied there. The opening ceremony looked better than in Paris, because here many people point to the true mishmash and lack of consistent logic of the whole enterprise.
The woman playing the role of Christ is Barbara Batch, a French woman of Jewish origin. Here is a fragment of her thread. And looking at it through the prism of Palestine and the exiled Israel, it is another controversy in uncertain times. It's like pouring some olive oil into the fire in the face of wars. Isn't it?
Of course, the most disgusting element was the staging of Last Night, but it's not the end of the absurd. For example, Przemysław Babierz commented on the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris on TVP, after which he was suspended and will not comment on the Games. During the ceremony, the song of John Lennon, Imagine, sounded, in which Babierz commented the words in the following way, quote The world without heaven, nations, religions, and this is the vision of this room, which is to occupy everyone. This is the vision of communism, unfortunately.
End of quote. John Lennon himself translated the message of his song in a similar way, but because of this another scandal broke out, and the journalist in this way caused a wave of comments even in Germany. Several hours before the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympic Games in Paris, the French railway operator SNCF announced that it had been attacked by the victims of a massive attack aimed at paralyzing the TGV high-speed train network. ...this weekend possibly.
Meanwhile, the authorities have said that they dispatch extra security forces to the train stations here in Paris and have told travelers that they'd rather try to not take the train over the coming days because, you know, there will be lots of disruptions today and in the coming days here in Paris and across France. At this moment, it is not known who is behind this sabotage, but in this case... Russia can be responsible for it.
Paradoxically, it also depends on humiliation of Paris as much as possible, while showing the rottenness of the Western world. The problem is that after what the French themselves did and how many mistakes come out during this event, it is basically the Kremlin who can shoot champagne corks, because the Chavez with all these controversies is nothing. Nevertheless, the fact is that the organizers of the games are facing serious security challenges. including the fear of cyber attacks in the face of high tension in the international arena caused by the war between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The threat is so great that the event protects 35,000 policemen a day, and at the peak moment during the opening ceremony there were over 45,000 of them.
More than 10,000 soldiers take part in security operations in this region. France also receives help from over 40 countries, which in total sent at least 1900 police meals. Paris, looking at its movements on the international political arena, is the target of many hostile nations. Only this year, Paris had to deal with the rebellion that broke out on one of its overseas territories. I'm talking specifically about New Caledonia, which the inhabitants would like independence from France.
France now officially has 13 foreign possessions. and their area is over 550,000 km2. This is more than the area of continental France, which is 551,000 km2.
Additionally, it is still financially oppressing African countries, depending on the currency exchange rate of their former colonies from the euro, with the participation of the French treasury. France controls the monetary sovereignty of as many as 14 nations, which in total consist of almost 200 million people. Among them are, for example, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, the coast of the Swan Sea and other countries that are now on the list. Because we had to reach a sustainable, credible rate. A rate that really allows and stimulates the return of capital.
Which really allows and justifies external investments. This rate has been chosen. And so you realize that this currency is not sovereign. People have decided around a table that it was no longer worth what it was worth.
And there is a kind of awakening on the true status of... We realize that this debt was decided by the IMF, the French government, the World Bank, etc. And so we realize that the Tien is the main vehicle of the exchanges. Our currency is not what we decide on its value. So Paris wants to go for the symbol of freedom and openness, which they were supposed to show with the opening ceremony.
The problem is that even without Russian propaganda, the French are lying to themselves and the whole world. A proof of this can also be the brave gesture of Algerian athletes during the opening ceremony. The Algerians threw the rose into the water.
Everything took place in the Algiers demon camp. with the French police killed on October 17, 1961 in the middle of a war for independence of this country. At that time, several dozen peacefully positioned demonstrators were victims of bloody and murderous repressions.
According to historians, in addition to many wounded, 30 to 200 demonstrators died, and their bodies were thrown straight into the sequins. France is so modern and open to the world, that immigrants and homeless were taken to the city not to show these pictures of the world. They were of course accommodated there in newly established centers, mainly during the party.
Against the liquidation of camps in the past week hundreds of migrants protested. The night before the opening of the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024, several thousand activists gathered at the Republic Square at the event called the Contraceremonium of the Opening of the Olympic Games. Well, all similar events are mainly a courtesy and an opportunity to break political capital, which has already taken place many times in history.
Nevertheless, the current games in France, instead of showing the strength of European culture and its beauty, showed something that the world laughs more about than envies. You can evaluate this event in the comments. France finally officially apologized for the opening ceremony of the games.
an intention to show disrespect to any religious group. On the contrary, I think that Major Nii really tried to, really intend to celebrate community tolerance. That was his word yesterday and looking at the result of the polls that we shared, we believe that this ambition was achieved. If people have taken any offense, we are of course really... That's all for today.
See you in the next video. Take care, bye!
