I was okay with Edih Piaf until they really overdid it with "la vie en rose" as obligatory Public Lifts Musac, or in the Supermarkets, where you could not escape it, and now , the piped version has asserted her predominance even down into the public toilets. It's not nice what they did to the magnificent voice of the "Sparrow of Paris" but, whatever Nietzsche or my nanny called it, or what other aspiring philosopers interpret it as.....it just is: There is bound to be a replacement....a (hopefully) dignified successor....to anything even half-way good: .the new Piaf (for me) is Zaz :
You might wonder why I have become so irrelevant over the last few years and probably boring. It's called:
SELF CENSORSHIP
(just look at who hosts my "thoughts"... such as they are...;)... )
So: the less I feel free to say what I think or what I consider important, the less I post.
But...
...I am a survivor from way back, probably from the time my birthmother jumped up and down in her bathtub to get rid of this little accident that I was....(fashionably cool and politically sponsored abortions were not as "in" then ...) and I shall be back without having to put too much "eau dans mon vin" any longer after this prolonged period of sounds of silence to flatten the curve...
I saw this movie! It’s about this dystopian city that’s a single mega block, and the hero has to get from end end, and he passes each area — the poor, the rich, the workers, etc. — and in the end he gets to the front and kills the evil mayor called Klaus.pic.twitter.com/j1zr5Ivipl
Cizik School of Nursing has created a REMI Platinum Award-winning documentary film that tells the grim cautionary tale of nurses who participated in the Holocaust and abandoned their professional ethics during the Nazi era. The 56-minute film, Caring Corrupted: the Killing Nurses of the Third Reich, casts a harsh light on nurses who used their professional skills to murder the handicapped, mentally ill and infirm at the behest of the Third Reich and directly participated in genocide.
I do not know why, but somehow, some things in this harrowing documentary look strangely familiar to me...perhaps it's a case of ..."...the more things change, the more they stay the same..." ?
Scomo, your behaviour, "deporting" a Champion like Novax from Australia was cowardly, shameful and outright embarassing ! In what currency did the 30 silver pieces from Davos come ?
By the way:
I strongly self censor myself in this blog, just so you know.
This beautiful voice is the one of a lady well into her nineties. That in itself is to be admired.
But she articulates the words so well, that it is the first time ever I understood, what the song, and especially the melancholy that permeates it, is all about....
...that's what Jonnyu from VladTepes called this contagious little delight, and I thank him for it, enjoy !
Of course, this must have happened BC (before Corona), people behind masks do not laugh...or, at least, would find it too difficult, the masks being what they are, taking your breath away....(in the wrong way....)
At the election booth last Saturday, Australians were offered a choice: "Freedom" or a "Coffee Latte", most of them chose the latte(r)... Michael Gray Griffith from Cafe Locked Out shares his post election thoughts with us. His is a voice, I listen to:
Most recent elections seem to follow the same pattern....in the US, as in Germany and France and now in Australia....nearly in "lockstep"...
Since the mandate to force people to wear masks on airplanes has been struck down, lots of "doctors" have started posting selfie pictures of themselves wearing masks to defy the freedom of choice to not wear a mask. So here ya go :)
I considered these French elections of global importance, because - and this is my opinion...personal and somewhat speculative - if Zemmour had won, it would have been proof that genuine, uncompromised elections could still be successfull somewhere in the world. Eric Zemmour is the only political candidate for big office of whom I am absolutely sure that he has not been bought by globalists of Davos via blackmail or otherwise . It is no secret that Macron was and remains the pick of the "Build-Back-Better" mob.
So, Eric Zemmour, "the little Jew from the Maghreb" as he called himself during the magnificent Rally at the Trocadero which saw 100,000 + of his fans calling out: "We Love You" and "Zemmour - President" and "On va gagner" did not make it to the prerequisite 2nd tour and he will not be President of France (this time). The final battle will see Macron and Marine LePen facing each other. As they did in 2017.
My expectation is that Macron, having fulfilled the orders of his masters against the French people so far, will be rewarded with an extension to finish off his job.
Should Marine LePen make it to the Elysee, then - again my personal suspicion - she will have joined this mob below:
I had my valises packed, to return to Paris permanently, because I really believed that Eric Zemmour could win the Presidential elections and a France under Zemmour would be very much superior to an Australia under all the fake "conservatives" (including the present PM "Scomo") and the totalitarian extreme Leftists ie the majority of the Premiers and a potential new Prime Minister (federal elections coming up on 21. May) Albaneze (Albo). But it was not to be. Davos won - for the moment.
But there is hope, because Eric Zemmour and the outstanding men and women he chose around him, will remain in politics via the Senate (elections coming up soon).
I will post more on this as it evolves (or devolves)....This is just part of Eric Zemmour's concession speech, in which he shows that he is high quality and in admirable control of his ego. Despite his contempt for Marine LePen (which I share as I do not like "fake" conservatives), he is calling for his members to vote for her in the second tour. He really, really, really means to SAVE France from Macron and his puppeteers.
“Le résultat du premier tour de l’élection présidentielle 2022 ont placé Emmanuel Macron (27,6%) et Marine Le Pen (23,0%) en tête. Jean-Luc Mélenchon est donné à 22,2% ; Eric Zemmour a recueilli près de 7% des voix. Valérie Pécresse enregistre une très sévère défaite (moins de 5%), tout comme Anne Hidalgo (1,7%), selon Ipsos Sopra Steria pour France 2.”
Emmanuel Macron - 27.6 % and Marine LePen - 23.0%
These two will fight it out for the Presidency during the second tour.
Marine LePen & muslima
President Macron
Jean-Luc Melenchon - 22.2 %
(Former?) Communist, now "Islamo-Leftist" who garners a majority of the islamic vote - which shows that France is well on the way to become an Islamic Republic even before the predicted date of 2050.
Jean Luc Melenchon
Eric Zemmour - 7%
at least, being above 5% of the national vote, his campaign costs will be reimbursed.
Valerie Pecresse -
the official "Conservative Republican Representative (LR)" suffered an importan defeat at under 5% . She is, like Macron, a graduate of Klaus Schwab's School for "Young Leaders" and has already called for her followers to vote for Macron in the second tour. (Eric Zemmour predicted that she would do exactly that ONE minute after 8 pm).
Valerie Pecresse
Anne Hidalgo - 1.7 %
She is the mayor of Paris and has turned this City into a "Pubelle". She also once testified for Qatar against a French National. She was the first to fly to London to embrace and congratulate the then new mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, where she loudly insulted President Trump of being "oohhh sooooo stuupiiide".
The Lady is a member of the only German Political Party that I respect, the AfD (Alternative fuer Deutschland). Germany has provided the worst (Van der Leyen) and the best (this lady) to the EU.
Story of a Marriage gone sour:
Recently, I read this interpretation of what might have caused the present problems in the Ukraine, somewhere on the internet:
"More than 20 years ago Ukraine divorced her husband Russia.
This marriage had children.
The husband (Russia) was generous and left his wife a large inheritance, and even paid his wife's debts - $ 200 billion.
After parting, the wife began to flirt with a village bully (USA) and a gang of robbers (NATO).
The wife began to listen only to their opinion, and began to attack her ex-husband with them.
Then the husband got angry and took one child from her by force - Crimea.
Then the furious wife said that she would marry NATO in order to force her ex-husband to return Crimea.
However, the village bully(USA)did not want to marry, and did not want to get into a fight with her ex-husband - Russia.But he planned with the help of Ukraine to humiliate her ex-husband - Russia.
The wife was a bad mother, and from time to time she beat her other children - Lugansk and Donetsk.
The children cried and sought help from their father, who from time to time helped the children financially and quarreled with his ex-wife.
But it was all to no avail...
The main bandit, who caused all this trouble , used this wife, wanting to get her wealth.He persuaded her to quarrel and gave her various gifts (uniforms, weapons, old equipment).
The wife decided that she had an intercessor whom she could rely on, and began to be impudent and provoke her ex-husband.
His patience snapped.
Together with his relative (Belarus), he began to fight for the protection of his offended children - Donetsk and Luhansk.
Then the ex-wife, along with the hooligans (EU and NATO), got scared.
The main bully (USA) now refused to actually fight her ex-husband, and left the wife alone with her ex-husband to sort out the mess.
The husband is now taking control of the children and property he left to his ex-wife."
I have lost the source to this story but have the feeling that it was not in the mainstream media, since it obviously does not follow the official, uno-voce narrative colported by the West. All things considered though, I think it's not a bad explanation.
