Franz Graw is the soul of modern time Germany
Franz Graw, the New Germany
Franz Graw is a musician who composes, writes and performs his committed songs advocating some kind of global sustainability. He is also a painter and sculptor. He is this generation of Germans that will have to take the lead in a difficult world and bring the turn-around turning point we need to get out of the selfish mercantile world we are having today and take the road to global sustainability for everyone in the world. The Chinese are polluting in total quantity more than the USA, which means they are polluting at least three times less than the Americans by million inhabitants. I have included a long email from Franz Graw explaining in German and in Google English his objectives and ambitions. A good opportunity for you to review your German a little bit, before it is too late.

The Emergence of Russia on the World's Stage
The Birth of Eternal Russia
Mussorgsky
deals with the shift from a corrupted authoritarian and even dictatorial regime
to a new generation of leaders who are going to open the country and bring it
to some kind of prestige if not greatness. This is done, both in the libretto and
in the music, extremely well and the corruption is depicted with precision and
even at times some cruel exposition. The music varies from popular to
marvelously modern and the end of the opera is so spectacular and would require
so many special effects that the solution chosen in 2007 in Barcelona is a
miracle of sobriety.

Dr. O'Zoot en balade
Michel Caubet & Denis Lecat
+
Si Vous Voulez Briller En Société
(SVVBES pour les acronymiques)
Ne
croyez pas qu’il soit si simple que cela de survivre dans la Gironde si on est
une civelle ou une pibale.
Nous
sommes en 2032, 10 ans après la Révolution des Roses. Eglantine et Movar vivent
en Bretagne, près de la Baie de Quiberon. Movar est conférencier, et son épouse
lui inspire ses sujets. Tchang, un ethnologue chinois venu étudier les
peuplades bretonnes, vit chez eux. Ils reçoivent souvent la visite du Dr
O’Zoot, qui ne se déplace qu’en deux chevaux Citroën, un modèle ancien qu’il a
adapté pour pouvoir se téléporter entre le Pital, au Mexique, et la Bretagne où
il vit. La vie de ces 4 amis serait bien calme si un jour, un voyageur
spatio-temporel n’avait débarqué chez eux : Panurge, tout droit sorti d’un
roman de Rabelais. Sa franchise et son naturel va révéler bien des impostures.
Et si l’Auteur, qui se targue de tout savoir, était l’imposteur suprême ?
Car de tout ce qui nous arrive, qui peut se targuer d’être réellement
l’auteur ?
Michel Caubet est né à Bordeaux-Caudéran, Gironde, en 1949 et
est agrégé en lettres classiques. Il a eu une carrière d’enseignant dans l’île
de La Réunion de 1993 à 2004, puis en Nouvelle Calédonie de 2005 à 2009. Il
s’intéresse au théâtre en tant qu’acteur, metteur en scène et auteur depuis
1979 et il continue dans sa retraite poitevine à Marigny Chemerau. Denis Lecat est né à Bordeaux-Caudéran,
Gironde, en 1962 et est architecte DPLG indépendant au Bouscat, Gironde

Slavery like racism is absurd
Slavery, A Reflection
The
other day in Ivry, France, some tense and dense exchanges between me and an
African-American turned short and bitter due to the arrogance of not asking the
person she wanted to attack who he was. And what she considered as my ignorance
on my part was, in fact, the pure reflection of her ignorance on her part. She
was confronted to a challenge with Indian Ocean slavery that she did not know,
so she rejected me without inquiring if I knew transatlantic slave trade.
American Academic Arrogance, AAA. Nothing ethnic but intellectually tribal.
I have met that arrogance a few times, but it is a shame because we could have exchanged information on the two main slave trades of the planet. But when someone does not want to discuss it is better to shift to another media, which I am doing right now.

La démocratie niée et réduite à rouge ou jaune
Gilets Jaunes contre
la France
Si
on refuse le débat national nécessaire pour trouver le chemin de l'avenir, on
n'ira aucune part. La démocratie ne saurait être réduite à un choix entre OUI
et NON et surtout à deux discours convergents de l'extrême gauche et de
l'extrême droite qui tous deux disent: le choix c'est entre moi et rien
d'autre, avec en plus la simple menace de bloquer le pays et de massacrer des
flics, j'entends des policiers, mais ils ont le langage raccourci. Pas plus
d'une minute par orateur et la synthèse en cinq minutes faites par un
organisateur de la "révolution sociale" ou de la "révolution
nationale". Nous ne sommes pas à un rond point de l'histoire mais à un
carrefour dont la bonne route vers l'avenir n'existe pas encore. Il faut la
choisir ensemble et la construire ensemble. Cela s'appelle la démocratie avec
tous et pas seulement avec ceux qui veulent bien venir sur les ronds-points
urbains ou routiers dans une espèce de nostalgie d'u temps passé.

The winter is a debate time with oneself
TAKE THE GOOD RESOLUTIONS
You will first meet Lord Byron and his "Manfred", and then Robert Schumann and his own "Manfred" sung here by Dennis Laubenthal in German.
Then I will take you on a complete retrospective of "Prison Break," including the fifth and final season.
The next stop will be in Germany and you will discover the great music of Franz Graw in his CD "Wir kaufen die Welt" and his reflection on globalism. It is refreshing to have imperialistic globalism exposed without any bombs, Kalashnikovs and other killing devices.
We will then move to the BBC, hence to Britain and discover the series "Criminal Justice" and its two seasons, in fact, two cases of miscarriage of justice even if in the end the innocent man is freed and the not guilty woman is sent to prison for five years. That's British Brexit justice.
And to conclude I will take you to the music of the Grateful Dead, "Shakedown New York," as a tribute of the fiftieth anniversary of Woodstock and they (who is they, who knows?) have announced they will celebrate this event grandiosely.

18 peut être mais pas plus
Une étudiante obtient 18 à son mémoire sur
« la méta-complexité chez Emmanuel Macron »
« La dualité correspond au fait d’avoir deux personnalités
distinctes, de s’inscrire dans une certaine perspective à un moment donné, et
dans une perspective opposée à un autre moment. L’étudiante a constaté que
cette dualité se retrouvait chez Emmanuel Macron dans ses relations avec
Poutine et Trump ou dans sa vision de la France et de l’Europe. À l’inverse, la
neutralité correspond au fait de n’être ni quelque chose, ni son contraire, par
exemple de se déclarer comme étant «ni de droite ni de gauche. »
MA
RÉACTION
La
dualité est dans le regard du regardeur.
Il
est assez clair que trois entités au moins sont capitales dans les relations
avec le monde : Trump, Poutine ET Merkel (et bientôt une nouvelle personne qui
fait que l'on doit parler des USA, de la Russie et de l'Allemagne. La Chine n'a
pas une place égale à ces trois-là dans la vision internationale, tout comme la
Grande Bretagne.
Si
on prend le cas de la politique de l'innovation on a aussi une palette
d'interventions et de positions : Station F d'une part et en même temps le
soutien à l'innovation industrielle, scientifique ou agricole mais dans ces
trois cas l'approche est tellement technique et relève des prérogatives de
ministres et du gouvernement qu'on ne voit pas le rôle du Président et c'est
dommage. Dans ce domaine il est sur plusieurs fronts à la fois.
Ainsi
le multi-quelquechose est une bonne piste mais le dualisme ne saurait l'être
surtout que dans ses discours il semble éviter la réduction à A ou B, OUI ou
NON, BLANC ou NOIR.
En
quelque sorte la crise des gilets jaunes révèle chez lui le besoin d'une
palette ouverte et la position qu'il a prise, les positions qu'il a défendues
ouvrent un débat qui n'est pas dualiste ou binaire mais bien
multi-quelquechose.
Quant
à se demander si cela relève d'une intelligence supérieure, c'est une erreur.
Cela relève de la culture depuis plusieurs siècles, en fait depuis la
Renaissance qui a refusé le dualisme: voyez par exemple Montaigne ou
Montesquieu (les trois pouvoirs), ou si vous préférez Shakespeare qui construit
toute sa poésie sur du binaire sans saveur, sans goût, sans surprise, opposé au
ternaire (le disrupteur, ce qui apporte le progrès, la mégère apprivoisée, le
ternaire qui se déguise en binaire ; Fortinbras, le troisième luron après
Claudius et Hamlet, tous deux morts) et/ou au quaternaire (la perfection divine
et donc non humaine parfois poussée jusqu’à huit).
Emmanuel
Macron a une culture littéraire et sait que la bonne dynamique rhétorique ne
peut pas fonctionner sur un dualisme binaire étroit. Dire par exemple que l’on
est ni de droite ni de gauche, c’est poser une réalité ternaire et certainement
pas neutre (si c’était neutre cela poserait que ce n’est pas réel, matériel,
mais virtuel, inexistant, fantasque, en bref un rêve : l’argument de la
gauche qui revendique sa propre incontournabilité), et qu’au-delà d’une vision
binaire droite-gauche il y a une troisième réalité qui transcende ce binarisme,
ne le nie pas mais effectivement le dépasse en posant que dans la France d’aujourd’hui
une troisième réalité existe, non pas le bi-partisanisme comme les USA disent,
mais une majorité de gens qui veulent que l’on fasse de la politique et pas une
politique de gauche ou de droite, et faire de la politique c’est donner la
parole à tous et accepter de composer avec tous les points de vue et laisser le
débat faire émerger une position majoritaire qui ne sera ni de gauche ni
de droite mais sera majoritaire au-delà des clivages binaires.
Ce
concept d’ailleurs est celui du Bouddhisme et se résume dans le terme « samsara »,
tout considérer et trouver le juste milieu, la synthèse qui intègre tout ou au
moins le maximum. Bouddha disait souvent « Je suis un homme du milieu ».

Read slowly or you may collapse
Jared, a Rhetorical Lesson-Giverhttps://medium.com/@JacquesCoulardeau/jared-a-rhetorical-lesson-giver-5c07b08e8ecd
Abstract:
This book is a long collection of cases of civilizations or countries that failed, how they failed, what were the causes of their failing (plus a few success stories). This insistence on failing makes it very pessimistic in many ways. But the second characteristic is that the book does not explore the past for itself, but it is exploring the past to draw lessons for the present. The basic assumption is thus that the present world is on the brink of failing or collapsing. That takes a lot of value from the book because then the cases are understood as being illustrations if not arguments for the importance of climate change in human history, and the importance of environmental sustainability. And actually, we are brought to thinking that some cases have been over-exploited in that direction; The main shortcoming is that at times the book is retrospective. It does not try to understand what happened in the past, but it looks at it with a modern vision, a modern interpretation, something that is anachronistic in the past situations that are concerned.

HBO – DAVID MILCH –
DEADWOOD – 2004-2006
A very good series that casts a bright
light on the western side of the past of the US
and that explains a lot what the USA is
today. We are after the Civil War in what is a territory at first and it is
later on part of a county that is finally attached to South Dakota. […]

REVOLUTION AMONG MAYANISTS
FROM SIR ERIC (THOMPSON) TO REAL EPIGRAPHY
Sir Eric (Thompson) was knighted by the Queen of England in 1975, just before his passing away, to thank him for all he had done in the field of Maya research. But what on earth had he done?
He had blocked for at least forty years all research about Maya writing because for him all these signs and carvings and paintings and decorations in stone, in paint, on walls, on pots, on plates, on bark-paper, all those monuments in the jungle were not writing, were not the written form of an oral language that had been in existence for thousands of years, but was the aesthetic beautiful artistic expression of no scribes but visionary shamans of some kind able to see beyond the surface of things and able to express directly the depth and beauty of the soul of the shamans, of the artists, of the Maya people. It was decreed by this Sir Eric (Thompson) that apart from the mathematical glyphs with numbers and long count, short count or whatever, all the rest was in no way linguistic and the dates and mathematical symbols were only the sign of the absolute addiction of the Maya to numbers, mathematics, time, and other figments of their somewhat troubled imagination during the long bouts of absolute drunkenness (drunken coma?) they enjoyed by enematic injections. They might even be astrologers, you know, these people who are predicting your future from the stars, telling you your horoscope in two sentences for the day, the week, the month, the years to come, even your life, though then they need a crystal ball or a pack of tarots cards. And mind you for them the planet Venus is supreme, male and vindictive in HIS request for blood. In other words, they were – and still are – barbarians according to these intellectuals who must be attracted to the subject by the scent of blood.
