THREE AVENGERS, SIX VICTIMS, PLUS EXTRAS!

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/three-avengers-six-victims-plus-extras-92bb56b620d1

I am starting a full coverage of about 12 films by or with John Wayne. I have hardly watched his films at all in the past for various reasons, like killing Indians, and because my late eldest brother only swore by them. He was a fly taken by the sugary white caucasian racist crystallized approach of these primitive, if not barbarian, Indians. It is high time to reassess this actor and his films. They are built with a lot of stereotypes that target the Western public after 1945, and even beyond. It was an essential cultural apparatus targeting that public to enable the USA to play a leading role in the world.

True Grits is symbolic of ultimate crimes with the number three of the Christian Trinity, and the six – maybe seven, who knows, the Holy Week? – victims lying down in the dirt like a yellow Star of David, abandoned by some Auschwitz “tourist” that had no return ticket. Not easy to be a woman in this world and to look for vengeance, which is unacceptable in any decent world of decent decency. The Trinity again.

BRIGHTON, GRACE, AND SORDID CRIMES

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/brighton-grace-and-sordid-crimes-f0ea13d27de0

You will necessarily think of The Who and their opera Quadrophenia set in Brighton.

Quadrophenia Alley is a must-visit location for any fan of British pop culture. Nestled in the vibrant city of Brighton, this small alleyway holds significant historical and cultural value due to its association with one of the most iconic films in British cinema – Quadrophenia.

The History Behind Quadrophenia Alley

In 1979, director Franc Roddam brought The Who’s rock opera ‘Quadrophenia’ to life on screen. The film tells the story of Jimmy Cooper, a young mod struggling with his identity amidst societal pressures and expectations. A key part of this narrative was set against the backdrop of Brighton – a town which was central to Mod culture in Britain during the 1960s.

The narrow alleyway now known as Quadrophenia Alley gained prominence when it featured prominently in several scenes throughout the movie. In particular, it served as an atmospheric setting for some pivotal moments between lead characters Jimmy (Phil Daniels) and Steph (Leslie Ash).

(Thanks https://explorial.com/sights/brighton-quadrophenia-alley/)

But the music is original in the series. Composed by Matthew Slater, it has little to do with Quadrophenia. Even if the opera should, could and would deserve a comeback and a second production, slightly updated. The Mods and the Rockers are vastly passé, déjàvu, stale, though they still exist under different costumes for those who fit the norm and those who counterfit it, or vice versa.

 JAMES BALDWIN

James Baldwin, an African American essayist, novelist and playwright, produced a rich psychological African American literature exploring possible escape routes for Black Americans, namely music, Europe and gay sexuality. He was born on August 2, 1924 in Harlem and died on December 1, 1987 in Saint-Paul de Vence, France. His mother divorced his father and remarried the fundamentalist preacher David Baldwin who was very strict with his stepson in a context of great poverty. His stepfather died of tuberculosis late in July 1943 and was buried on James’ nineteenth birthday just before his last sister’s birth. He had three brothers and five sisters, all named in the dedication of Just Above My Head. He expatriated himself in 1948 to France, and lived chiefly in Paris.

He was against the type of apocalyptic religion his stepfather preached. This religious vision comes from the extreme exploitation of Black slaves in America, totally depersonalized at one blow. Blacks (Baldwin systematically uses the word Negro) find their inspiration in the Old Testament, the fate of the Jews in Egypt waiting for Moses to free them. Whites are guilty which cannot be forgiven or forgotten. Judgment Day is close: the bad will be punished, the good will be rewarded. They even seem to identify with Jesus and share his saving mission they think they have to fulfill for their community. Baldwin is critical of fundamentalist preachers and shows their bigotry, hypocrisy and personal ambition, like in The Amen Corner. He mainly considers Christianity but hardly hints at Islam in the USA.

He clearly considers African slaves were entirely deprived of all roots with Africa when turned into slaves at the auction block, and with no possible return. Their sole reference is their American experience forcing them to be sheer copies of what whites want them to be and in mid-20^th century James Baldwin believed whites wanted to be able not to see the color of Blacks who had thus to adopt a life style as visibly white as possible. This invisibility created in the Blacks fear, anger and bitterness explaining their recurring violence at all personal, family, social levels, which for him absolutely justifies racial riots. It ensues that, though they religiously identify with the exiled wandering Jew, in Harlem they hate the Jews who commercially exploit Blacks under the authority of white Gentiles.

Though he writes an extremely rich psychological literature centered on deeply explored Black characters, female or male, positive or negative, his approach of whites is at best schematic. They are unforgivable and hardly redeemable. They have to choose between becoming human or being rejected by history. How they can become human is not clear. The Blacks have no role to play in this highly improbable redemption. Blacks can only escape from this absolute exploitation and alienation.

He explores various routes to a certain amount of personal freedom in a universe of constant alienation. The first route is music, Black music of course, like gospel or jazz. He favors keyboards, piano first, then trumpets, horns and guitars, surprisingly hardly mentioning percussions. This escape route gives to music a transcending dimension. The words of gospels can be taken literally and personally. Christian love becomes real emotional and carnal love for the lover. Gay love becomes a way to evade all norms by reaching out to Jesus and God in the lover, by merging gay love into Christian love. James Baldwin brings everything back to God and Jesus. Blacks cannot escape segregation but they can find a shelter in the temple of music and gay love, in the mental shield of a gospel song of hopeful love or some compassionate blues.

The best way to realize this escape is to move to Europe, though there all Americans are deprived of their family and natural environment. Black Americans are surrounded by vain delusionary white Americans, categorized as Americans, which is no compliment in Europe. Your real personality, not to mention your skin color if you are Black, is never really considered, except with abstract compassion.

James Baldwin represents the Black state of mind in the 1950s and 1960s. He went beyond simply exposing the crimes of white America. He explored the psychology and the escape routes Black Americans can negotiate and construct out of their inescapable racial prison. But he did not see what his characters are suffering from, which was to be later identified as Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, namely the Post Traumatic Slavery Syndrome developed by Dr Joy Degruy, on the Christian side, and Sekou Mims, on the Muslim side. When he died in France the Catholic Church of the USA was just developing, towards American Indians and African Americans, their new policy summarized as “Remember, Reconcile and Recommit.”

It seems James Baldwin’s exile to Europe prevented him from getting involved in the intellectual and social movements being born and developed among the Blacks in America in the second half of the 20^th century.

RACIAL RACIST MOLE-RATS

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/racial-racist-mole-rats-0bdd318b6249

Racism is the sickening sickness of soulless people who believe they are superior to some types of gregarious individuals who do not correspond to what they consider normal. Either it is the color of the skin of these people that the segregators segregate out of their friendly circle. “How can I be friends with someone as dark as the night who plays the nightmare of my life?

Or it is the sex or sexual orientation of the other individual, and this racism is against women or men, gay or lesbian people, non-binary or trans-anything persons. And the British Supreme Court (the House of Lords) just decided that one can only be what one was declared to be at birth. J.K. Rowling wins high-five again at her sexual lottery. The most archaic judicial body in the whole world, the House of Lords, has taken the most reactionary, sexist decision any judicial body would never have even tried to take, though, true enough, Trump holds the same opinion.

Or the people who have to be segregated against are autistic. For some people, it is not imaginable that autistic people could mix with normal, good citizens of the human race. Autism is catching, and pretty soon we will all be autistic. And do not think they will be open to the problem, if it is a problem, though we may think the segregators are the problem, and you will find in the private file your employers keep on you a note, dated and signed, “Mr. SO-SO-AND-SUCH just relapsed. How can we get protected against these unbearable, repetitive incidents?”

And imagine those who do not have the proper religion, which is, of course, the religion of the segregators, and there the world is divided into three, four, or five camps with segregators in each camp against all the others. Add some philosophy to that and you have the worst racism possible, that of Hitler who exterminated – at least he tried – some categories of people like the Jews, the Gypsies, the Communists, the Homosexuals, and many other subtypes.

Racial Racist Mole Rats should be sent to a Sunday school every week to renegade their racism and amend to all the people they have hurt with it. It will take more than 52 Sundays, more than ONE year for them to present their amends to all their victims. Whether Musky or Mole, a racist rat is nothing but a rat. God bless the cat that catches the rat and puts it in the magic hat of a shaman that can turn him back into a mat for muddy shoes.

Olliergues, Capitale Auvergnate du Dahlia Aztèque

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/olliergues-capitale-auvergnate-du-dahlia-azt%C3%A8que-62e5420319ad

Au 25 mars 2025, c'est un franc succès puisqu'à la date où j'écris il y a 20 volontaires et la commande de 30 sachets ou lots de dahlias (en principe une quinzaine par sachet, mais il faudra peut-être réduire  à une douzaine). Cela rerprésente 450 dahlias. Environ 70-100 seront installés par nos soins au belvédère et dans les sept (six mais une double) vasques à fleurs de la D906, sans compter les sept ou huit de la Montée du Château. J'en avais planté personnellement 500 de mon côté l'an dernier. Ce sera difficile d'en faire autant cette année. J'ai importé de Hollande une quinzaine de bulbes différents pour élargir la sélection.

J'ai toutes les adresses email des participants, et le téléphone de la plupart d'entre eux.

Nous prévoyons de faire une distribution aux heureux gagnants un jour de marché (19 ou 26 avril) pour plantation immédiate, mais en profondeur du fait des Saints de glace, les trois empêcheurs de tourner en rond, Saint Marmet, Saint Pancrace & Saint Servais, célébrés les 11, 12, & 13 mai. Ils ont sévi l'an dernier et ont gelé les jeunes pousses d'une vingtaine de mes dahlias.

Le vrai danger, ce sont les rats taupiers. Ils mangent certains bulbes, abusivement appelés tubercules, jusqu'au collet au ras de terre. Contre ces rats taupiers, rien à voir avec Ratatouille, il n'y a que les moyens classiques, pièges à rats (moins grand que les pièges à loups), les pièges à taupes à installer dans les tunnels des rats, et les poisons. L'efficacité est toujours aléatoire et les moyens doivent être variés et répétés.

Arrosage limité et pas quotidien sauf en période de pointe de chaleur. Le dahlia est une plante subtropicale du Mexique. Si vous les arrosez il est nécessaire do collecter de l'eau de pluie. Si le vent sévit, ou la chaleur, ou de grosses pluies, ils peuvent se coucher au sol. Ne paniquons pas. Dès que la pluie ou l'eau leur est apportée, ou bien que le soleil revient, ils reprennent force et redressent la tête. Ils peuvent fleurir de fin mai au premières gelées en fin octobre ou cette année fin novembre. Ils doivent être alors déterrés pour passer l'hiver dans un local sombre, pas trop humide et sans risque de gel, donc ne descendant pas en dessous de 5° Celsius.

Donc à très bientôt.
