Uncle Sam protecting his property against the encroachments of his cousin John

Uncle Sam protecting his property against the encroachments of his cousin John
Complete Explanation: Northern fears of European intervention in the Civil War on behalf of the South are manifest here. Uncle Sam, in the form of a bearded Union soldier (closely resembling Abraham Lincoln), unceremoniously routs John Bull from a fenced garden where the latter has been poaching. Grabbing him by the scruff of the neck, Sam warns, "John, You lost your Non-interfering Principle. I'll lay it on your back again." The American wields a large stick "Principle of Non Enterference." John Bull has a handful of cotton plants, more of which appear at right, and wears "Armstrong's Patent" cannon on his legs. (The term refers to a type of English-made gun used by the Confederates.) The artist has hidden several Negro faces in his drawings of cotton plants here. A cock with the head of French leader Napoleon III watches from his perch on the fence at left. At right stands a large scarecrow from whose arms hang the lifeless bodies of Confederate general P. G. T. Beauregard and Confederate president Jefferson Davis. A plaque on the scarecrow reads, "All Persons Tresspassing These Premisses, will be punished according to Law." (click image for source)

POETICAL WORKS: JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL (1891)

This blog is inspired by my grandfather's books from the 19th century. Within these books, are glimpses of a "fire in the spirit" that is all but lost in America today. The mettle/determination of a different era blazes throughout. The grotesque misinformation and disinformation that deluge our sources of knowledge today (the propaganda runs dark & deep), drove me to these 19th century texts. I was searching, desperately, for some unadulterated truths. I do think I found a few precious gems. Below, a few poems and excerpts from poems. The tragedies and injustices we witness today occurred in the past. The only difference is, today, few see. In the early days of the Republic, a disciplined and educated populace actively resisted despotism. This defiance to old world tyranny is readily identifiable in these poems. Dig the title, "crowned bloodsuckers". Do we see anything, even remotely, resembling such a ferocity of spirit today?
To John G. Palfrey ( LINK ) There are who triumph in a losing cause, Who can put on defeat, as 't were a wreath Unwithering in the adverse popular breath, Safe from the blasting demagogue's applause; 'Tis they who stand for freedom and God's laws. And so stands Palfrey now, as Marvell Stood, Loyal to Truth dethroned, nor could be wooed To trust the playful tiger's velvet paws: And if the second Charles brought in Decay Of ancient virtue, if it well might wring Souls that had broadened 'neath a noble day, To see a losel, marketable king Fearfully watering with his realm's best blood Cromwell's quenched bolts, that erst had cracked and flamed, Scaring, through all their depths of courtier mud, EUROPE"S CROWNED BLOODSUCKERS,___ how more ashamed Ought we to be, who see Corruptions flood Still rise o'er last years mark, to mine away Our brazen idol's feet of treacherous clay!
SUGGESTED BY THE GRAVES OF TWO ENGLISH SOLDIERS ON CONCORD BATTLE-GROUND. These men were brave enough, and true To the hired soldier's bull-dog creed; What brought them here they never knew, They fought as suits the English breed: They came three thousand miles, and died, To keep the PAST upon it's throne; Unheard, beyond the ocean tide, Their English mother made her moan.
Stanzas on Freedom MEN! whose boast it is that ye Come of fathers brave and free, if there breath on earth a slave,Are ye truly free and brave?If ye do not feel the chain,When it works a brother's pain,Are ye not base slaves indeed,Slaves unworthy to be freed?They are slaves who fear to speak For the fallen and the weak;They are slaves who will not choose Hatred,scoffing, and abuse,Rather than in silence shrink From the truth they needs must think;They are slaves who dare not be In the right with two or three.


The link ABOVE contains one of the Reverend Martin Luther King's most profound but most overlooked speeches. This speech, in all probability, got him assassinated. In it he deviated from civil rights to anti-war. This anti-war stanch upset the Military Industrial Complex.

(Of particular interest to me and relevance to this blog, is the inclusion of an excerpt from a James Russell Lowell poem that MLK so generously and warmly ended his powerful discourse with)

BEIJING, Dec. 31 (Xinhuanet)-- Revelers ushering in the New Year of 2010 in many parts of the world will be treated with a so-called 'blue moon' -- the second full moon in a month if the skies are clear.
The term “blue moon” has nothing to do with the color of the moon. The name reflects the relative rarity of two full moons in a month and is linked to the saying 'once in a blue moon.'
Most years on average have 12 full moons, with one appearing each month. An extra full moon in a month -- a blue moon -- occurs every 2.5 years. The last time there was a lunar double take was in May 2007."

More details have emerged in this morning’s perplexing story, in which a suicide bomber attacked what officials called a 'gym' on a military base in Khost Province, killing eight Americans the military identified as 'civilians.'
Now US officials admit that all eight Americans slain in the attack were actually CIA agents, adding a reason why the Haqqani network was so quickly blamed, as CIA drones have been bombing the Haqqanis in North Waziristan for over a year."

Wednesday, December 30, 2009 at 11:30AM Gilad Atzmon
Avatar may well be the biggest anti War film of all time. It stands against everything the West is identified with. It is against greed and capitalism, it is against interventionalism, it is against colonialism and imperialism, it is against technological orientation, it is against America and Britain. It puts Wolfowitz, Blair and Bush on trial without even mentioning their names."


Atzmon's last paragraph in this piece is key:
***
I would maintain that to stand up against your own people for an ethical cause is the real meaning of humanism and liberty. Yet, it is pretty astonishing that such an inspiring message is delivered by Hollywood. We may have to admit, once again, that it is the artist and creative mind (rather than the politician) who is there to shape our reality and present a prospect of a better amicable future by the means of aesthetics.***

The artist/novelist Patricia Highsmith, has IMHO captured, with her creative mind,the solution to overcome the sociopathswho dictate our very existences. She shapes our reality vis a vis the PTB/elite. To understand who they are and how they operate. Know the enemy!!

Patricia Highsmith's High Society (1970's style)


The Gateway to SoHo, July 1974 West Broadway and Houston Street Photo ©2002 Allan Tannenbaum
(From October 1973 until March 1982 the SoHo Weekly News was New York City's hippest paper and guide to what was happeining in Fun City)


Book Review - ‘The Talented Miss Highsmith,’ by Joan Schenkar - Review - NYTimes.com:

Patricia Highsmith traveled in very "high" circles. Her NOVELS are highly instructive of how contemporary elites behave.
Yesterday, I was at Dave McGowan's web site . Scroll down, on that link, to see a menacing photo of Dennis Hopper, who looms large in the chilling activities of the LC saga.
I mention Mr. Hopper because there was a significant synchronicity. Hopper played the legendary figure, Tom Ripley, in Wim Wender's film version of Patricia Highsmith's novel, "Ripley's Game", The American Friend.
This movie, captures my experiences in Manhattan's elite enclave of the downtown, SoHo, art scene of the 1970's. I commented on Peter Chamberlin's web site about the NY Times journalist Jane Perlez, who had penned a story about the recent Pakistan troublesMI6 (I mentioned her early writing for the downtown newspaper, The SoHo Weekly News). SoHo, short for South of Houston, (Houston Street) is a neighborhood in lower Manhattan comprised of wealthy people in the arts. There were and still are numerous prestigious art galleries(remember Andrew Crispo from McGowan's, Programmed to Kill?) I can safely say, SoHo has many parallels to Laurel Canyon. SoHo, like Laurel Canyon, has had it's share of strange murders. Heath Ledger's death was just the latest. Ledger died in his SoHo loft space. (Perlez and Ledger both Aussies both associated with SoHo).
Dennis Hopper's Ripley, in the movie "The American Friend", epitomizes SoHo's denizens of the 70's. The film maker, Wenders, captures the SoHo of the 1970's perfectly with Hopper's Ripley.. Highsmith, in all of her novels dealing with Tom Ripley, imparts on the Ripley character, an ambiguous psychological complexity which is a polite way of saying Tom Ripley is the ultimate embodiment of a pure sociopath. This multidimensional "complexity" can be viewed as a metaphor for much of the elite/upper echelon high society. This "aspect", McGowan also documents in LC, albeit in a more cursory manner.
My take, both LC and SoHo are elite compounds where a variety of overlords of organized crime reside(America's version of crowned bloodsuckers). Sometimes they cooperate amongst themselves, sometimes they compete amongst themselves and sometimes the competition becomes unspeakably lethal. Highsmith's novels reveal these truly amazing interactions in a most intimate and substantive style. A style, characterised by her biographer
Joan Schenkar,“She wrote five or six of the most unusual novels of the last century.”

P.S.
I just found a cool web site dedicated to the SoHo Weekly News. Here is link

Issue statement on 31st anniversary of USSR invasion

News Desk

PESHAWAR: On the occasion of the 31st anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Taliban asked the US to immediately withdraw its forces from the country to avoid meeting the fate of the USSR.

A statement issued by the Taliban’s Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and sent to the Afghan Islamic Press, The News and other media organisations, said: “As a last resort, US President Obama ordered sending 30,000 troops to Afghanistan against the wishes of his nation and due to the pressure of the war-loving generals of the Pentagon. However, General Parker, the British military commander and deputy to US General McCrystal said that they have lost the initiative to the Taliban and that the Taliban are extending their control to more areas.”"

Israel has become a mortal threat for Lebanon since its creation on the Palestinian lands. In an article entitled “A Strategy for Israel in the 1980s”, which appeared in the World Zionist Organization's periodical Kivunim in February 1982, Oded Yinon, a journalist and analyst of Middle Eastern affairs and former senior Foreign Ministry official, told of “...the total disintegration of Lebanon into five regional, localized governments as the precedent for the entire Arab world...”. Therefore, the existence of a strong and independent Lebanon was considered as a main obstacle for Zionist plans for hegemony in the region."

THE USE OF PSYCHIATRY BY THE STATE AS A TOOL FOR OPPRESSION AND FOR PUNISHING OPPONENTS
by Justice Lover
Despite the obviously dehumanising and deceptive role of modern psychiatry it has been so far very secure in its positions of power worldwide. The reasons are clear to see, because psychiatry serves not merely the drug corporations, but the entire ruling class. Therefore, the state (which is ruled by the ruling class) is very keen to protect and promote psychiatry and the psychiatrists on its payroll.
In this and in a separate blog ( http://nocrush.blogspot.com ) we shall discuss in detail one case of the most scandalous victimisation for 29 years now under compulsory psychiatric “treatment”. It is the case of Miss Rebecca Merhav of Melbourne, Australia."

“But the world must remember that it was not simply international institutions—not just treaties and declarations—that brought stability to a post-World War II world. Whatever mistakes we have made, the plain fact is this: The United States of America has helped underwrite global security for more than six decades with the blood of our citizens and the strength of our arms. The service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform has promoted peace and prosperity from Germany to Korea, and enabled democracy to take hold in places like the Balkans.”"

Is this our Happy Christmas gift from the NYT?"

In Russia, foreboding about America's war in Afghanistan McClatchy: "In Russia, foreboding about America's war in Afghanistan"

MOSCOW — Thirty years ago this week, the Red Army began its invasion of Afghanistan, a move that sank the Soviet Union in a decade of guerrilla war and hastened the collapse of the Cold War empire.

Perhaps we need to rethink the way we regard wars. Why not take a page from the Israelis way of doing things and regard war as a way to make money and heal injured and sick US citizens. The Israelis have admitted (after howling "blood libel"), that they have "harvested not stolen" body parts from deceased combatants, to be used in medical implantation. The average Taliban, properly processed into pieces coulod be worth more than what it takes to kill him, and this way we could recover most of the costs of the war. Then we could go on indefinately, eventually killing most of the Afghan population, and repairing most of our sick population. Then, in the final Israeli like twist, with Afghan depopulated, we could ask for American volunteers to move into the empty Afghan countryside and colonize it for a new America. Surely the world would applaud our actions, or at the very least let us get away with it. I would be first in line, perhaps for a new soul.....

Book Review - ‘The Talented Miss Highsmith,’ by Joan Schenkar - Review - NYTimes.com

Book Review - ‘The Talented Miss Highsmith,’ by Joan Schenkar - Review - NYTimes.com:

Patricia Highsmith traveled in very "high" circles. Her NOVELS are highly instructive of how contemporary elites behave.
Yesterday, I was at Dave McGowan's web site . Scroll down to see a menacing photo of Dennis Hopper, who looms large in the chilling activities of the LC saga.
I mention Mr. Hopper because there was a significant synchronicity happening. Hopper played the legendary figure, Tom Ripley, in Wim Wender's film version of Patricia Highsmith's novel, "Ripley's Game", The American Friend.
This movie, captures my experiences in Manhattan's elite enclave of the downtown, SOHO, art scene of the 1970's. I commented on Peter Chamberlin's web site about the NY Times journalist Jane Perlez, who had penned a story about the recent Pakistan troubles. (I mentioned her early writing for the downtown newspaper, The SOHO Weekly News). SOHO, short for south of Houston, (Houston Street) is a neighborhood in lower Manhattan comprised of wealthy people in the arts. There were and still are numerous prestigious art galleries(remember Andrew Crispo from McGowan's, Programmed to Kill?) I can safely say, SOHO has many parallels to Laurel Canyon. SOHO, like Laurel Canyon, has had it's share of strange murders. Heath Ledger's death was just the latest. Ledger died in his SOHO loft space. (Perlez and Ledger both Aussies both associated with SOHO).
Dennis Hopper's Ripley, in the movie "The American Friend", epitomizes SOHO's denizens of the 70's. The film maker, Wenders, captures the SOHO of the 1970's perfectly with Hopper's Ripley.. Highsmith, in all of her novels dealing with Tom Ripley, imparts on the Ripley character, an ambiguous psychological complexity which is a polite way of saying Tom Ripley is the ultimate embodiment of a pure sociopath. This multidimensional "complexity" can be viewed as a metaphor for much of the elite/upper echelon high society. This "aspect", McGowan also documents in LC, albeit in a more cursory manner.
My take, both LC and SOHO are elite compounds where a variety of overlords of organized crime reside(America's version of crowned bloodsuckers). Sometimes they cooperate amongst themselves, sometimes they compete amongst themselves and sometimes the competition becomes unspeakably lethal. Highsmith's novels reveal these truly amazing interactions in a most intimate and substantive style. A style, characterised by her biographer
Joan Schenkar,“She wrote five or six of the most unusual novels of the last century.”

P.S.
I just found a cool web site dedicated to the SOHO Weekly News. Here is link

December 18, 2009 - While we were all out doing our Christmas shopping, the highest court in the land quietly put the kibosh on a few more of the remaining shards of human liberty. It happened earlier this week, in a discreet ruling that attracted almost no notice and took little time. In fact, our most august defenders of the Constitution did not have to exert themselves in the slightest to eviscerate not merely 220 years of Constitutional jurisprudence but also centuries of agonizing effort to lift civilization a few inches out of the blood-soaked mire that is our common human legacy. They just had to write a single sentence. Here's how the bad deal went down. After hearing passionate arguments from the Obama Administration, the Supreme Court acquiesced to the president's fervent request and, in a one-line ruling, let stand a lower court decision that declared torture an ordinary, expected consequence of military detention, while introducing a shocking new precedent for all future courts to follow: anyone who is arbitrarily declared a 'suspected enemy combatant' by the president or his designated minions is no longer a 'person.' ...
