Posted by: REDACTED at June 10, 2022 09:37 AM (us2H3)

53 From the Interwebz:

"Made in 1923, ‘The Survivors’ is a disquieting drawing depicting the displacement of war.

There is a beautiful symmetry to ‘The Survivors’, with the mother in the centre surrounded by eleven figures. Two elderly men cower in the left corner of the image, and opposite them two young men strain with their bandaged eyes, a hand outstretched to beg. Huddled beneath them are seven children, their small forms contrasting with the size of the mother and the men around them. These figures have a statue-like quality, with their expressive eyes and oversized hands reflecting Kollwitz as sculptor. The contrast of black and white is reminiscent of the light and dark (‘chiaroscuro’ of a Rembrandt or Caravaggio painting. Kolwitz’ harsh materials reflects the subject matter, matching the pain in the image with heavy grazes of charcoal."

72 I hate my own flippancy.

When I see a painting like this that I probably should think "The artist was portraying the atrocities that they have seen in war and the desire to see no more, hence the hollow eyes and blindfolds."

But in my heart, I immediately think "Hmm. She probably wasn't good at painting eyes. Not a good workaround."

In 1940 her husband died, and in 1942 her grandson was killed in action during World War II. The bombing of Kollwitzs home and studio in 1943 destroyed much of her life’s work. She died a few weeks before the end of the war in Europe.

119 Her home was in Konïgsberg, so East Prussia. Part of the "the bloodlands," and this was painted in the interwar period, so I'm guessing horrors of WWI and the aftermath of Versailles, plus Bolshevik terrors.

No wonder it was bleak.

123 Anyway. . .

While we commonly call the NSDAP "Nazis," the Party itself, so far as I can determine, never used the term, preferring "The Party," "NSDAP," "National Socialists" or the abbreviation "Naso."

Why? The term "Nazi" was first applied to Hitler's followers by Konrad Heiden, a German journalist and author of one of the earliest Hitler bios, Der Fuehrer. It means "fool" or "yokel" in Bavarian dialect, which Heiden thought most appropriate for the rabble-rousing anti-Semite.

When Hitler came to power, Heiden fled, first to Switzerland, then to France and finally to the US, to return to Germany only in 1951.

124 “Pfizer received initial FDA BLA license on 8/23/2021 for its COVID-19 vaccine for use in individuals 16 and older (COMIRNATY). At that time, the FDA published a BLA package insert that included the approved new COVID-19 vaccine tradename COMIRNATY and listed 2 new NDCs (0069-1000-03, 0069-1000-02) and images of labels with the new tradename. These NDCs will not be manufactured. Only NDCs for the subsequently BLA approved tris-sucrose formulation will be produced.”

The “silent” update, which was posted – unannounced – on the CDC’s website, comes after months of posturing by Pfizer and US public health officials, who all claimed the vaccine was “fully approved” and, therefore, you should take it.

128 Carried over from the previous thread, the stats about the assassination poll.

While some say the inclination in younger generations toward approving assassinations proves they have little respect for human life, I can only speak for myself when I say it's absolutely the other way around.

Whenever talk of the 2A starts, it's always in the context of defending ourselves from a tyrannical government. I respect the lives of everyday Americans far too much to prioritize a politician's life over that of those he would wish to enslave (or worse).

No, I don't think assassinations are a good thing in any way, shape, or form. I can, however, say that there's a good chance we've reached our current status as a country because our ruling class feels far too comfortable.

I heard a radio spot this morning for the Comirnaty "vaccine." They're still hyping this nonsense. The cover of last week's People was all about Jeff Bridges and how he nearly died of getting COVID while undergoing chemo. Now it's not surprising that an infection could threaten you if your immune system is devastated; but in previous years it would have been "the flu" or even "a cold" that almost wiped him out. They've got to keep this fear pr0n going.

A phrase I first heard in 2016 "peaceful transition of power."

It really struck me as odd when I heard it being used, mostly because I hadn't previously never considered America in that kind of framework, which seemed almost reminiscent of feudal lords or third world regimes.

It was a stark contrast to "the outcome of the election", if only in imagery. It was foreshadowing, though.

No one ever hinted at the idea of refusing to leave office from Carter to Reagan, Reagan to Bush, Bush to Clinton, Clinton to W., W to Obumner, that I can recall.

99% of what goes on in DC the public doesn't care about. They often use this reality to do whatever they want.

They're flooding the zone specifically because they know people don't care. Displacing the people's preferred network entertainment (which will most likely just lead them to seeking all of their other avenues for entertainment instead of staying as a captive audience to whatever ABC is showing) will probably not work all that well because most people don't care about the inside baseball of DC.

"One of the students from the next-door classroom was saying, 'Officer, we're in here. We're in here'...But the [police] had already left," he said. "And then [the gunman] got up from behind my desk and he walked over there, and he shot again."

Nasty little part of the world for hundreds of years, about which we (and, I found out, west Germans) say very little. Christendom conquered it by "crusades" (the Knight in Chaucer had just gotten home); like most of Poland and all the Baltics, it was whipsawed by the fortunes of the Rus. Millions of people have died over or under it, enough to challenge the tawdriest notions ot white supremacy.

The saying "art is pain" is true to a point. Not all art has to deal with pain and suffering. There are many, many magnificent pieces that are about triumph and joy (example: Ghent Altarpiece).

It literally is not. The meaning of your sentence is unintentionally close to gibberish. Faith (in the common and not theological sense) exists in a dichotomy with direction observation. It applies to premises, not whether you're slowly analyzing every decision you make or operating by rules of thumb. Using third-party information for instance is reliance on faith.

And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,

Starting this fall, the study will have researchers identify what UAP data already exists, determine how best to collect UAP data moving forward, and develop methods to study the nature of UAPs, for both scientific and aerospace defense reasons. The team will be led by astrophysicist David Spergel, president of the Simons Foundation in New York City, alongside Daniel Evans, the assistant deputy associate administrator for research at NASA’s Science Mission Directorate.

If you look at the stuff being taught in synagogues, you will see that God has been largely supplanted by politics, and that the remnants of God have been redistributed to a polytheistic ideal, with a pre-Abrahamic female theme.

I hate that partisan politics has to come up at all, when trying to characterize large groups of people.

But if we're going to go there, let's at least acknowledge the Republican party has created its own persona, and many of those same large groups of people view it as an entity that hates and shuns them. People who see the R as not an option have good reason to think so.

367 Vladimir Putin has been advised by doctors not to make any 'lengthy' public appearances after he fell ill amid discussions with his military chiefs, a Kremlin insider has claimed. The Russian President felt 'a sharp sickness, weakness and dizziness', while getting up from his desk following a recent video conference with advisers and military leaders, Telegram channel General SVR reported yesterday. 'The President needed urgent medical assistance,' claimed the channel which purports to have sources in the Kremlin and has made repeated claims over Putin's alleged medical problems, including cancer and Parkinson's disease.

Such things do move slowly sometimes, but it's apparent to me there's a polar shift in American politics, and not for the first time. Democrats for quite a long time WERE conservative, and republicans were progressive. The label, conservative is not static, and in a number of ways D is again quite conservative , and not at all progressive. I don't know what R is, but I don't think the conservative label fits anymore... not would it be useful if it did.

Posted by: Soothsayer at June 10, 2022 10:54 AM (iC1hJ)

A yen has tended not to be terribly different from 1 cent. So you could look at it as more of not having that cent to dollar change in terminology. We spend $543.25, they spend 72,924 Yen.

When we were stationed in Japan we had to live off base for almost a year waiting for Navy housing. There were no debit cards then we would have to go the CPO club on base cash a check for the rent and convert it into yen. Paid the landlady a big wad of cash every month. IIRC the rent was 100,000 yen at that point, but I could be wrong it has been some years. We would get about 400 yen to the dollar back then.

510 Those Laffer comments are right on the point I like to whine about - well it's actually a correct observation that most seem to either not get or find too painful to consider.

The opportunity cost, in all likelihood, of removing Trump (and his policies, which is always the point, not the personalities) is already enormous, and it goes of course far beyond just top-line macroeconomic numbers.

When Trump ill-advisedly (and I use that term carefully, you might say advisedly) went along with a "shut down" in a futile attempt to mange an already prevalent virus, the Fed (several branches but I think Atlanta is the main forecasting outfit) was re-checking some of their forecasts. Because they couldn't believe them. They were too good.

Of course the "quality" of the numbers in the Trump economy was as important as the numbers. It wasn't a short-term bubble-ish thing, or a secular occasional technology-driven thing, like the late 90s. It was the breadth and depth and character of the growth, the manufacturing investment, repatriation of capital, etc.

But anyway, bye bye. America wanted decline and idiocy, and it's getting it, good and hard.

I really do hate the compulsion to add stuff. There's a lot there already.

516 345 "Jews don't survive well without a social commitment to pluralism of one sort or another. It's interesting to watch how that necessity plays out in different social/economic/historical contexts."

There's intrinsic tension between how much any social commitment to pluralism benefits natives versus how much it benefits outsiders. It's the same argument as open versus closed borders. The problem is, "diversity is our strength" is political sloganeering: you're not supposed to actually analyze social costs versus social benefits, lest you arrive at unapproved conclusions.

Diaspora Jews have a historical pattern of touting pluralism as a higher good than their host societies' own prized virtues. (As have certain other segments of the population, who have achieved similar levels of antipathy.) But pluralism (or to put it another way, tolerance) is a slippery slope; if the pluralists aren't willing to defend hard backstops limiting what can be tolerated, the anti-pluralists will do it for them.
