My Pleasure of the Slave's Suffering, Slow and Long

 

SLAVERY AS PURE SNOW-CUM-SUGAR WHITE ENTERTAINMENT

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/slavery-as-pure-snow-cum-sugar-white-entertainment-d515c4eb8de7?postPublishedType=initial

 


This rewriting of Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Percival Everett is fascinating, but probably not for the reasons some people may think of.

 

The original book was a denunciation of slavery at the very time of Abraham Lincoln’s election and the beginning of the Civil War. It was to be implemented, at its writing time, as a denunciation of the Jim Crow segregation being instated by Congress in the 1870s, and the Supreme Court in the wake of it. “Stop doing that! You fools!” And it was totally useless and inefficient at the time.


 

So, what does it mean today when rewritten by Percival Everett, not from Huckleberry Finn’s point of view, but from the adult slave Jim’s point of view? It means for today’s public that the whole case of slavery is still not solved, and it has become the new racist and racial discrimination and segregation that still governs the USA.

 

And this is emphasized by the most cowardly presidents we have had since Obama, meaning all the presidents since Obama. Trump openly encourages all reactionary nationalist and more than conservative,  openly jingoistic forces in the USA, or Biden, who never had the stamina and will to really prevent this evolution by being weak and vain enough not to let the Democrats have a primary election, and thus forcing them into defeat in front of the new American-style apartheid.


 

True enough, Trump has put some milk in his coffee, and he targets brown people with a lot of Native American blood and African slave blood in their veins, essentially Latin and Mesoamerican immigrants, illegal or not. They are the color of “Café au Lait” from New Orleans Café de Paris, if it still exists, rather than black coffee without milk and without sugar, since sugar is reserved for the elite of this society, and the elite is milk-colored, blond, and with blue eyes.

 

And like Jim, you can only escape slavery if you kill a few people, if you set aflame a whole farm of corn and whatever else can burn, including a few buildings, and you run like an Olympic champion, and you drop your slave name and reduce yourself to “Just James;’ just your fictitious full first name that no one had ever used, and you probably had not been regularly christened anyway, but that “Just James” instead of “Nigger Jim” makes you escape justice for the “crimes” committed during your escape from slavery. The author does not see that it takes more than just these two words, “Just James,” to retrieve your purity, to get you epiphany, and to conquer your salvation.


 

James is condemned to never tell his real liberation because even in the North, crimes are crimes, and the vengeance of the whites does not slice up justice in either South or North. Fascinating, I said, mesmerizing, I can also say, but it takes a lot more struggling to get rid of the enslaving racism of the American society, and melting or thawing the present ICE of this society will produce a million times more carbon dioxide than the whole planet produced in 2000 AD.

INTRODUCTION

MÉLANGES sur le thème FAIRE L’AMOUR

Rejuvenation? you said?

 

On ne peut pas faire l’économie de cette imagination.

 

Annunzio Coulardeau, aka. HALLAL ou HALLAH, n’hésite jamais à mélanger les genres, littérature réflexive, poésie agonisant la société ou agonisante dans un coin d’une classe d’un lycée pervers, lycée papillon ou collège libellule, les deux pris à jamais dans un cocon hermaphrodite, création ADN-nique garantie, un dragon de plus à notre fronton.

 

Et partout et toujours des œuvres plastiques, des distorsions barbériques digitales plus ou moins bien digérées par des ordinateurs torturés. Et le tout en langage binaire, 0 français et 1 anglais. Il y a peut-être un troisième langage, mais il n’est plus linguistique, simplement spirituel.

 

Et cela ne devrait pas vous faire rire, quand un lycée français se réduit à un plafond qu’on scrute, une horloge qu’on minute ; une porte qu’on prend et un truc tout vomi d’un savoir que vous savez mais qu’on vous dit que vous ne savez pas. Qui a raison ? le pauvre trublion dans la classe ou le/la prof/fe qui sait nécessairement mieux que qui que ce soit, qui que ce moi, qui que ce toi, qui se redresse, sans tête, dans le courant d’air de la vie réelle.

 

Bonne partance et bonne arrivée garanties.

 

To be read from right to left, except if you believe the ghost is in you, skeleton and all.

 

Bonjour la compagnie, en Anglais.

Saluton al ĉiuj, en la angla.

 

We cannot do without this imagination.

 

Annunzio Coulardeau, aka HALLAL or HALLAH, never hesitates to mix genres: reflective literature, poetry that either agonizes over society or languishes in a corner of a classroom in a perverse high school—a butterfly high school or a dragonfly middle school, both forever trapped in a hermaphroditic cocoon, a guaranteed DNA-tic creation, one more dragon on our pediment.

 

And everywhere and always, visual artworks, barbaric digital distortions, more or less well digested by tortured computers. And all in binary language: 0 French and 1 English. There might be a third language, but it is no longer linguistic, simply spiritual.

 

And this shouldn't make you laugh, when a French high school is reduced to a ceiling to be scrutinized, a clock to be ambushed; A door you take and walk through with, and a whole lot of knowledge you know though you are told you don't. Who's right? The poor troublemaker in the class or the teacher who necessarily knows better than anyone, whoever this one seen as me, whoever this one seen as you, who straightens up, headless, in the draft of a damn real life?

 

A safe departure and a safe arrival guaranteed to all.

Dan Brown is feeding all trumpian exorcists with good food for exclusion

 

COMPLICATED INTRICACY IS NOT HUMANISTIC VISIONARY

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/complicated-intricacy-is-not-humanistic-visionary-3291a66c104f?postPublishedType=initial

 


Dan Brown writes rather well, but he writes for television more than for a reading audience. It is irritating. Chapters limited to 4 to 6 pages are such thin slices of baloney that we seem to be fed some light and thin sandwiches with not much inside the bun. Reading is better when the chapters are healthily thick.

 

Dan Brown is showing off his “culture,” which is, in fact, nowadays, ChatGPT collecting data on one particular scientific and more often pseudo-scientific topics. He does not give that data without some explanation, which means we have, now and then, one long university lecture on the topic. That too is not fictional.




Systematically, the evil people and their evil objectives are positioned in Europe, either from some European confused and distorted criminal-minded people, even if the action is in Turkey, or from some Americans using Europe as a criminal playground. That’s the case in his last or latest novel. In other words, Dan Brown shows us what Europe would be if MAGA were ever dominant in the world.

 

Yesterday night, January 23, 2026, we had a full demonstration at an official dinner at Davos. The Secretary for Commerce from Washington  DC, who must have a name but it will be forgotten if it is not already erased from our memories and replaced by the ghost Trump, or is it Grump, that inhabited him; caused the European Central Bank’s Chairperson to leave the table, then several other people did the same, and the Patrons who wert paying for the dinner decided to punish this dumb American by cancelling the dinner BEFORE DESSERT. Treated like a little, small, tiny, miniature, capricious, and malevolent child, Mr. Secretary for Commerce.

 


Dan Brown is more or less showing with great zest, zeal, and dynamism what Europe would be if the CIA and the Americans were authorized to play hooligans in Europe. He has one or two characters who are more ethical, but they are also powerless, and anyway, manipulated like puppets on a puppet stage. It is popular for sure, I mean the books are, but the brandishing of I don’t know what menaces from Russia or China, not to speak of Iran, does not make the fictitious and malicious political fiction palatable.

 

Especially when we see how Trump backed down with Iran, how he is running backward in the Ukrainian case, how he is trying to short-circuit the United Nations in Gaza, and yet only gets little-significant people who are finished, dead in many ways, like Tony Blair. If he could, he would bring Kissinger back on the stage directly from his tomb. And in Greenland, Big Brother is, as the Belgians would say, a diminutive fox running away, his tail – you can see what I mean – well crushed between his legs.

 


Dan Brown could do a lot better, and used to do a lot better, but the MAGA audience is so ripe for fictional exploitation that he cannot resist. Dan Brown, the author, is a transcriber of the plot-paranoia of standard Americans. It appears so vividly when you follow Dan Brown from 2003 to 2026. Imagine Trump making fun of Macron, who will not last very long now, and not making fun of a certain Trump who might lose his mid-term elections even before Macron is out, and this Trump would be out of the White House hardly one and a half years after Macron, in January 2029

 

Authors of fiction should know they must not mix up politics and literature. It is a highly inflammable cocktail, and it is the books and their authors who are autodafé-ed. And Grumpy might very well be railroaded to some psychiatric hospital before for Delirium Paranoidens.

The Incas are living again because no civilization collapses in human history

 

Launching Blog 3rd Episode

Md. Merajul Islam

The Incas Beyond Empire and Collapse:

Language, Bodies, and the Andean Science of Survival

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/the-incas-beyond-empire-and-collapse-565e6afd4a45?postPublishedType=initial

 


Mohammad Merajul Islam, after a first episode on the Roman Empire and the consideration of all that was kept, even fructified, in the later historical periods, came to the idea that “collapse” is the wrong concept to explain the end of a historical form of development and the continuation of this phylogenetic development in the next historical periods. The Roman Empire did not collapse since we live on and with its direct legal, civil or criminal, codes, and numerous other institutions in education, politics, agriculture, science, even if the blocked social situation with massive slavery, and the military management of their world with constant wars and violence, necessitating massive security forces, is the real obstacle that brought the political apparatus down..

 

He then expanded his approach in the second episode, with the study of the “collapse” of the USSR. He showed how in fact it was a real trans-substantiation from an industrial empire to algorithms, from plans to platforms. They came to an end when they were confronted to the necessity to adapt to new conditions if they wanted to remain relevant in the new century.


 

But it was necessary to study other older cases to show it is a fundamental process in human history, which did not start with writing or representational paintings and entoptic signs that no one would still call “scribbling” like Hergé did before and after 1945. But it started with the abstract symbolic vocal elements (vowels and consonants and their rotation) that opened the door to naming objects, people, animals, situations, activities, and so many other things. From there, with observation, speculation, and discussion, hence communication that could only be vocal or body language, they went through the emergence of conceptualization somewhere around 300,000 BCE, as soon as they were able to produce a minimum of 500 (arbitrary estimation) VCV or CVC clusters

 

In the present third episode, he studies the case of the Incas in the Andes and their empire. The case is a lot more complicated because the Incas did not have a writing system with any real phonological symbolism that we consider to be a writing system. The interest here is that after considering what brought the political apparatus of the empire down, i.e., the genocide (military and with European diseases) and the culturicide performed by the Spaniards, still in the 20th century before and after the Second World War, some popular forms of culture, comic books in this case and Hergé’s Tintin, literarily try to bury the Incas in their own “death” by justifying the looting of Inca tombs and Inca kings’ mummies. The Incas are accused of being vengeful, barbaric, and, of course, totally primitive, with the naïve power of a sun eclipse, with people who were more advanced in cosmology than the Catholic Church, which forced Galileo Galilei to make amends about the earth turning on its own axis and around the sun.

 


Enjoy it. The next chapter will concern the Mayas, and this next chapter will lead Mohammad Merajul Islam to a real book on human development and phylogeny in sustainable conceptual invention and science. Are we not rediscovering the ecological mental achievements of humanity over very long hundreds of thousands of years, an ecological dimension we seem to have forgotten, and for some people, lost?

It is urgent to re-evaluate civilizational phylogeny, because there is rarely any collapse: only evolution and development into a new and more advanced form of civilization.

Golem or not, the CIA is an imperialistic tool in the hands of ONE man.

 

CENTRAL IMPERIALISTIC AGGRESSION

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/central-imperialistic-aggression-bfc7fc7c67f3?postPublishedType=initial

 


Dan Brown had already invaded many countries in Europe and around Europe. But this time he is targeting the whole of the world from Europe. Europe is the nest of the aggression, the cove of the raping of the world, the haven of the scientific and technological military campaign to enslave all minds, to put everyone in some kind of pleasurable forced labor camp, and to enchain any recalcitrant rebellious reclaiming subversive first amendment infested dumb ass to their own tombs for them to die there on the stone, decay there on the marble, and progress and regress together back to the earth right there on a tombstone to remind everyone the only future for the discontented egocentric delirious voice claiming the right to free speech and free living, if not even free loving, their only future is to die of thirst, to die of hunger, to decay on the spot, more or less devoured by wild beasts and be damned to hell for ever and ever, even though that will not count since ever and forever in death is zilch, nothing, no future.

 

That’s what Dan Brown promises if, with the help of Netflix, every sequence of this serialized delirium tremens was to be a trump card in the hand of the Trump omnipotent president who believes he is God and is recruiting archangels to bring about a world of obedience and submission.


 

Even if you see how perverted this imagination is, you will enjoy it because somewhere it still titillates you in your most private family jewels, though there is definitely no emotional and sentimental romance in this novel. Only one man is the center of two romantic appeals, one real and the other ordered by the CIA, and this Michael dies in the hands of a ghost, yes indeed, an alter ghost of a Dissociative Identity Disordered lady, her male alter mind you. Add some epilepsy to this lady, and then you will know what it is to be a trump card in a novel by Dan Brown. He has no, absolutely no empathy for his characters, who are puppets on a string or a rod, but nothing but puppets, or maybe even less, and thus nothing but puppies, that salute the flag with a little bit of barking.

 

You'd better get vaccinated against the CIA retrovirus. It is definitely worse than COVID 19

No Flinching, of course, but a lot of Rituality

 

HOLLY GIBNEY BACK AT WORK FOR STEPHEN KING

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/holly-gibney-back-at-work-for-stephen-king-3b9cb9930e67?postPublishedType=initial


 

Stephen King is getting different with older age. Mellow for one, and the cases are less fantastic, less supra-natural, and more human, humane, simple, down to earth. Maybe he does not believe in Fairy Tales at all, or anymore. In this novel, he has all he needs to get phenomenal and beyond normal human limits, but he does not. He crisscrosses several plot lines, two criminal ones, and two very sentimental if not romantic. He intertwines and even entangles basic social and cultural problems into a network of complicated situations and issues, abortion, a deranged young man who had been the victim of his brutal father, and a second deranged young man who had been the” victim of his religious family that banned him from assuming his female half.

 

To that, you add the slow rising of Black artists, here a gospel singer and a poetess, both women who are trying to succeed in a society where racism is still a standard part of free speech. Then you can think of the fact that people who want to succeed or want to be free to speak their minds are obliged to have bodyguards and private protectors. Who says the United States are the country of the freedom of speech when some who think and express some ideas like the right to abortion are hunted down by killers who will manage, one way or the other, to escape the real punishment they deserve, such as being forced to take a menial job that will make them subservient, like shoe shining in the underground in LA or NYC. Would it solve the crime business? Probably not,  but living a very long time in total dependence in front of everyone around might make some deranged minds think twice. If they can think, for sure.


 

The novel, the plots, and the style too are maybe simpler than usual for Stephen King, but they have the great advantage of being, in a way, fearless. Fearless or Unconscious? At times, you will doubt the one or the other, like Holly Gibney.

Autism is a major syndrome in our AI-galloping society

 

AUTISM FOR ALL THE “RAIN MEN” IN THE WORLD

https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/autism-for-all-the-rain-men-in-the-world-43346d3d9014?postPublishedType=initial

 


Daniel Tammet is a fascinating author who is an Asperger’s patient. He was educated under Margaret Thatcher and had the tremendous chance of being schooled after the reform she imposed: no more ghetto classes for special cases like autistic kids. Their position was in normal classes, with eventually some support and help due to their handicap.

 

That enabled Tammet to thrive in languages. He was able to become conversant in any language within fifteen days. He learned Russian among other languages, and he had a career as an English teacher in the USSR, still there at the time. And he started writing books on his own experience. This evolution in the 1980s made it possible to integrate handicapped people into society. They had a proper education. They could get proper jobs, even if the jobs may have had to be slightly adapted. They were productive and creative.

 


In some countries, France, for example, there was and still is some resistance and a great lack of care. All schools are not entirely accessible to people in wheelchairs. All schools do not have the properly trained personnel to take care of these students, and first of all, the teachers are often deficient in training in these fields of expertise.

 

Yet awareness of the problem is becoming important internationally, and some serious progress has been made over the last fifty years. Associations, foundations, other institutions, or NGOs are working, though it often looks like a battle, in this field, which is a real ethical battlefield.

 

I was classified in this category when I was 18. The administrative stigmatization has been running after me, at times even trying to block me, all my life, including right now in my old age. But that’s life. It is people like Daniel Tammet who give us the courage to look down upon those bureaucrats and let them bark in a corner.
