Trum-an inspired Trum-p with a MAG-Forever. WHAT FOOLS!!
OPPENHEIMER, WHEN THE US
STARTED TO LOSE THEIR ETHICS
Oppenheimer
is an essential character in US history. He is the left-leaning Jew who provided
the USA with the Atom Bomb that enabled the US to defeat Japan faster than the
planned standard land and air attack by the Soviets and the Chinese Communists,
officially endorsed in the Yalta Conference ( 4–11 February 1945) by
Churchill, Truman, and Stalin. Truman did not have the atomic bomb yet and will
only have it in July 1945. So, he bluffed and agreed with the Soviet plan
because he had no alternative … yet. He reneged his agreement in July-August
1945, and he dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and
9, 1945. The victory over Germany was a joint effort. The victory over Japan
was a self-centered and egotistic solitary procedure not even negotiated with
the allies of the US. The United Kingdom might have been informed, maybe. But
the USSR was not. The Americans were already and had been for nearly two
centuries, on the “America First” and “Make America Great Forever” lines that
we have known all along and directly since 1918.
And
within 9 years Oppenheimer will be ostracized because he was leaning to the
left and there were Communists around him. He submitted and disappeared in some
sideline university job. He had nowhere to go, as opposed to Charlie Chaplin
who went back to England. As a Jew, he could have gone to Israel, but that was
not a real optimistic solution at the time. He might even have gone to the USSR
with his communist wife. But he stayed put in the USA, in his closet-university-job.
The film does not really explore this dilemma: hide away in the USA, go to the
Jewish Israel, or go to the USSR. On one hand, it was his old depressive nature
that came back. On the other hand, it would have been going back to his faith
and his roots, even if it could have looked like treason. On the third hand, on
yet another other hand, it would have been plain treason.
The
special features on the second DVD do not correct this mystery and do not even
envisage it, in real terms. Yet the bio-doc there insists tremendously on his
left-leaning connections. If he had been black, he could have moved to Paris
where Black American authors and musicians were vastly welcome. In France, he
could have worked with the Joliot-Curies, though Frédéric Joliot-Curie was
against working for nuclear weapons. He refused the demand from the French government.
But The film and the special features lock Oppenheimer in a strange straitjacket
of an obsessive psychotic prison, till the end of his life with only one single
supporter named in the marginal side ditch of the story, John Fitzgerald
Kennedy who voted against the ostracization of Oppenheimer in the US Senate.
One vote out of – at the time – ninety-six.
I
will regret that the special features did not insist enough on the basic, fundamental,
and unethical treason of Joseph – like Stalin – McCarthy though in perfect line
with the Monroe Doctrine of the Manifest Destiny of the USA to dominate forever
the whole world. Imagine the frustration of all the MAGA supporters who will
never see that, except if the USA starts the third world war with nuclear
weapons. And try to survive after that.
No one can imagine what makes a film great in the West. It has to caress you on your umbilical egocentricism, and in this case the USA is the greatest entity in the cosmos, even if Truman is nothing but a nearly misspelled Trump.

From MAYDAY to MAY-1968 in Paris
THIRD UNDERGROUND HELL’S
LOUNGE
https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/third-underground-hells-lounge-b0ad457d6441
THE DESCENT TO HELL IN THREE STAGES – 2003-2015-2019
I
brought together three films and series presented here both in English and
French in anti-chronological order.
1-
The film 7500,
2019.
2-
The series
Blindspot, 2015-2020.
3-
The film The
Dreamers, 2003
If
you take them in this backward order, you may understand that today’s world is
not at all different from the one in 1968 when the Vietnam War was going on
full blast, the Chinese Cultural Revolution was in full swing and the West per
se was living its first full sexual revolution with the arrival of the
baby-boomers to the full unquenchable desire to hormonally and fully enjoy
life. Have some interesting reading.
FIRST STAGE – AMAZON STUDIOS – 7500 – 2019
There
is little to say about such a film. It is just artificial entertainment that
shows nothing and proves nothing. It is all stressing detail to keep the
audience glued to the screen.
SECOND STAGE – BLINDSPOT – FULL SERIES – FIVE SEASONS – 2015-2020
A
very long series for very little apart from stressed and stressful situations
that always end well anyway, meaning leading to a worse situation in the next
episode.
THIRD STAGE – BERNARDO BERTOLUCCI – THE DREAMERS – 2003
Paris
Spring 1968. We all know what happened then in France. The victory of the
unions, the defeat of the left, and the impossibility for the left to
understand that any “events” of that sort will always lead to the victory of
the right in the next elections, and today we have to update the data and say
the victory of the extreme right. It might be slightly more complex, but
basically, that’s what it is and when the left wins this social-minded left
will become conservative within at the most two years and it might even turn
reactionary within these two years, at times even less. They like power so
much.
It's interesting to bring Paris 1968 in lilne with modern hijacking of planes and a five-year long series on plotting in the USA against the US government, first of all FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, etc. Terrorism always starts within the borders of the country concerned. Homeland Conspirational Terrorism.

What does Amazon have against divorced or absent mothers?
Too Tricky To Be True
https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/too-tricky-to-be-true-efe733dc9d62
Amazon
Prime Video and Blumhouse Productions love dysfunctioning mothers who, in the name
of their love for their children, are ready to kill anyone only on their gut
feelings that this anyone is guilty of who knows what apart from the devil.
A little bit more about the context, schools, religion, Islam and girls, divorced parents, single Muslim male parent, etc. would have maybe given some depth to the story and made it less artificial.

How can they be that biased ! ?
AMAZON PRIME VIDEO –
THE BLACK BOX – 2020
Emotional, strong, even powerful, and yet
intellectually perilous science fiction. Imagine you can extract from a brain
(if it is only the brain and not the muscles and the bones too) what makes
someone that very particular someone, hence their “mental” essence, and then
you can keep it digitalized on a hard disk of some sort in the cloud if you
want. Imagine you can transfer this digitalized mental essence to another body
and this other body becomes the new vessel of the digitalized mental essence of
the first individual.
First of all, it is impossible to do this
as of today and probably for quite some time still. Second, it is unethical to
use the body or a brain-dead person as a vessel to contain the mental essence
of some other body plain dead at the time of the shift. How can you get the
consent of the one or the other? Impossible in the film since the first person
is dead, and the second person is brain-dead. Neither can say yes or no. Why
not transfer that mental essence of this dead person number one into a chimpanzee,
so that his mummy can play with it as a family pet? No problem of consent or
disagreement. Animals have not reached the age of reason and cannot say yes or
no to anything imposed onto them in labs or nature. Why not endow dogs with a –
Christian of course – soul?
The worst part is that the doctor or
scientist who does this transfer is the fact she is the mother of the first
individual who just died, and she tries to keep her son alive in another body.
That is egocentric, selfish, immoral, and what’s more sexist since it is the
mother, hence a woman, who wants to commit this crime against science. It can
only work in the film because of the virtual situation created by hypnosis and
manipulated by Virtual Reality. Add some Artificial Intelligence and you will
have the perfect suicidal solution to the overcrowding of the planet. All the
guinea pigs will become killers or self-killers because they will never be able
to accept the schizophrenia of their double reality and the alienation of both
personalities forced to live together. Who could be that criminal in their
minds to imagine such torture imposed on human beings?
Death is death, and it is a great chance
for humanity that we are not eternal. Imagine the overpopulation we would have
if Neolithic people had been able to survive till today. In fact, today’s world
would never have been reached because humanity would have self-destroyed itself
along the way.
Dr. Jacques COULARDEAU
VERSION FRANÇAISE
Une science-fiction
émotionnelle, forte, voire puissante, et pourtant intellectuellement
périlleuse. Imaginez que vous puissiez extraire d'un cerveau (s'il ne s'agit
que du cerveau et non des muscles et des os) ce qui rend quelqu'un unique, donc
son essence « mentale », et que vous puissiez ensuite la conserver numérisée
sur un disque dur de quelque sorte que ce soit ou dans le nuage cosmique
informatique si vous le souhaitez. Imaginez que vous puissiez transférer cette
essence mentale numérisée dans un autre corps et que cet autre corps devienne
le nouveau godet, coupe ou hanap, en un mot le vulgaire récipient de l'essence
mentale numérisée du premier individu.
Tout d’abord, cela est
impossible à l’heure actuelle et probablement encore pour longtemps.
Deuxièmement, c’est contraire à l'éthique d'utiliser le corps ou une personne
en état de mort cérébrale comme récipient pour contenir l'essence mentale d'un
autre corps tout simplement mort au moment du changement. Comment obtenir le
consentement de l’un ou de l’autre ? Impossible dans le film puisque la
première personne est morte, et la deuxième personne est en mort cérébrale.
Aucun des deux ne peut dire oui ou non. Pourquoi ne pas transférer l’essence
mentale de ce mort numéro un dans un chimpanzé, afin que sa maman puisse jouer
avec lui comme avec un animal de compagnie ? Aucun problème de consentement ou
de désaccord. Les animaux n’ont pas atteint l’âge de raison et ne peuvent dire
oui ou non à tout ce qui leur est imposé dans les laboratoires ou dans la
nature. Il ne manquerait plus que les chiens aient une âme, naturellement
chrétienne, cela va de soi.
Le pire, c'est que la doctoresse
ou la scientifique qui effectue ce transfert est la mère du premier individu
qui vient de mourir et qu'elle essaie de garder son fils en vie dans un autre
corps. C’est égocentrique, égoïste, immoral et qui plus est sexiste puisque
c’est la mère, donc une femme, qui veut commettre ce crime contre la science.
Cela ne peut fonctionner dans le film qu’en raison de la situation virtuelle
créée par l’hypnose et manipulée par la Réalité Virtuelle. Ajoutez un peu
d’Intelligence Artificielle et vous obtiendrez la solution suicidaire parfaite
à la surpopulation de la planète. Tous les cobayes deviendront des tueurs ou
des auto-tueurs car ils ne pourront jamais accepter la schizophrénie de leur
double réalité et l'aliénation des deux personnalités contraintes de vivre
ensemble. Qui est à ce point mentalement criminel pour imaginer une telle
torture à imposer à des êtres humains.
La mort est la mort, et
c'est une grande chance pour l'humanité que nous ne soyons pas éternels.
Imaginez la surpopulation que nous aurions si les peuples du Néolithique
avaient pu survivre jusqu’à aujourd’hui. En fait, le monde d’aujourd’hui
n’aurait jamais été atteint parce que l’humanité se serait auto-détruite en
cours de route.

Just the proper amount of time
EXISTENTIAL DURATION MEASURED BY MAYAN TIME
https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/existential-duration-measured-by-mayan-time-04ea9ffce53d
Duration
is all that plants and animals experience. They last as long as either possible
or necessary. When the phylogenic target of bringing in the next generation of
life is fulfilled, the plant or the animal can die or wither away. Homo
Sapiens, and probably most Hominins developed from experience the need to
measure this duration, at first in days and nights, and then in clusters of
days and nights. Then they can coordinate their observations and notice some
cosmic items go through regular existential cycles, first of all, the sun
rising or lowering in the sky with shortening or lengthening days and nights.
Second, the moon and its phases are numbered as two, four, or three, but
systematically waxing and waning. You can easily measure all that in solar days
and that is the beginning of time: a human invention quantifying the duration
of anything in observable regular elements.
From
what we know the Mayas were among the most advanced people for such time-quantification
and they developed all sorts of calendars to do this. But they were neither the
first one nor the last one. They were not the best either, though they were
very good. I will even say that all the lines of dots or check marks or squares
or other geometric forms we can find in all the caves in the world in which
Hominins and Homo Sapiens lived and that they decorated in many ways are the
quantification of various phenomena, though we don’t always know which ones.
This
book by Hunbatz Men concentrates on Mayan calendars but in modern language and modern
terms, not necessarily in the real Mayan terms at the time, up to 3,000 years
ago. It assumes the Mayas were aware of the leap years, though we do not seem
to have any real reason to believe so. The author does not work on any serious
lunar hypothesis, maybe a calendar. It vaguely mentions but does not explore
the Venus cycles as Morning Star and as Evening Star. To work on the Pleiades, why
not, yet one question does not concern such a long cycle but the simple working
of the ritualistic 260-day Tzolk’in Calendar that is out of sync with the solar
calendar, the 365-day Haab Calendar, and even more so if we consider the
360-day Haab Calendar, and how the ritual activities dictated by the Tzolk’in
Calendar can be prescribed and predicted and performed when their Tzolk’in
dates can fall at any time, in any season in the Haab Calendar. It is hard
enough to coordinate the 12-and-a-half moon cycles over a solar calendar, but
many civilizations are dealing with it and managing it with cyclical
corrections.
That’s
why it would have been good to give us some elements on this very same problem
with the Tzolk’in calendar when we can compare with the difficult adaptation of
the Muslim Lunar ritualistic calendar to the Gregorian calendar. The floating
Ramadan is the result of this necessary adaptation. In other words, the present
book is slightly short.

To
explore the Maya capture of time is interesting but we have to go back to what
it was at least one thousand years ago. It is too easy to use a completely
corrected set of data that fit in the modern apprehension of time. But it is
one flexible door to historical truth.

The kings of the road when there were no roads left
NO LOVE
NO FUTURE NO PEACE
https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/no-love-no-future-no-peace-951fcf5fa578
To bring
together South Africa in the days of apartheid and from the point of view of
the white Afrikaners with the tremendous career of Queen with Freddie Mercury
and after his death without him shows how ahead of their times this band was
when they started as a boys’ band and then when they matured into a full-fledged
career.
Apartheid
and racism bring segregation and discrimination which systematically reject
differences. No future for those who do not have the skin color, the religion,
the language, the sexuality, the musical affiliation, even as a simple
audience, as the dominant, selected, elected, chosen entity that only has god
and science over their heads. And their God has chosen these people to be his
chosen people, and these people chosen by God believe what God has explained to
them that science justifies their elected-ness, selected-ness or chosen-ness.
They are the acme of the creation, and all others are just plain rejects that
no one has the heart to destroy.
But
be sure God will do it some day. Which god since there are many if not even
plenty? Who cares. Each God will recognize his own supporters when they are all
dead.
But
then you may have no supporters at all, dear God or Gods. It does not really
matter. We don’t need these supporters to eat, drink and survive. We have all
we need in heaven and the sky. In fact, it was a mistake of ours to have
created humanity. The planet would be so much better with none of the human
parasites.
Meet
the Madman Prophet, who is most the time mixed up with the other God Profit who
is universal and derails every so many years, not so many as you may think
every ten years or so. But with this God there is always a small population
that manages to store away what they need to take over when the crisis has come
to an end and the dead victims have been buried or cremated.

From Ambert to Comoro and back
Poetry
Prison Comoro, Railings All Around
https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/poetry-prison-comoro-railings-all-around-eba06e7b1c93
An
interesting experiment to bring a poetry workshop in a prison For us who have
lived in the mythology of Johnny Cash and San Quentin, and all his songs and work
about and in prisons there is nothing strange about that But what happens
afterward? The inmates get some satisfaction in their work, writing poetry and
singing, slamming, or whatever it may be, but what’s next after their prison
term? No reason to reject the experiment but a follow-up action is necessary to
know what these men – and it is only men – have become or will become when they
get out of the railings, out of the cage. We are not all Johnny Cash, are we?
Since
this operation was sponsored by Alliance Française, it would be nice to know
what kind of follow-up work this Alliance Française is going to perform. The responsibility
cannot be the poet’s. But it is interesting to be confirmed one more time that
there are many ways for prison inmates to reform. One element is not taken into
account. 98% of the population is Sunni Muslims. What is the impact of it on
such an experiment? What does Islam bring to the experiment that would
otherwise not be there? Étienne Russias should try to show us this dimension,
since, as far as I know, he is a standard young man educated in the Christian
traditions, maybe not the religion, but the traditions definitely like being
christened, being buried religiously, being married religiously. How did he
deal with a 98 percent Muslim group? How many Muslims were taking part, among
the inmates and the workshop workers?
But
that’s the beginning of the intelligent globalization we need, a globalization
that is founded on differences and not some Westernized homogenization. However,
the text produced by the various poetry animators and by the various inmates
are not identified as such, so we do not know who is who and what is what. Only
two names on the cover and hence two beneficiaries of royalties.

The
question of prison reform is fascinating. This experiment of a French team
supported by Alliance Française to help prisoners in Comoro, inmates reforming
themselves with poetry and music, is surprising for a country that is 98% Sunni
Muslim. What is the impact of it on the workshop, on the poetry produced by the
inmates, is there any guidance to make them remain off religious questions
(French laïcité), etc? It is all the same interesting to follow the experiment
if there is any follow-up work with the inmates that took part.
