Eaten by Bears

Posted by on

The Apostate Prophet talks about how cringeworthy – and stupid – it is when those caught up in their own virtue-signalling try to show Muslims how supportive they are of them during Ramadan. There is a German word that comes to my own mind when I see stuff like this: Fremdschämen (definition below). I thought …

Gabriel Faure: Pavane – Orchestral

Posted by on

Another installment in our quest to determine whether some art has intrinsic beauty, or is ‘beautiful’ only because some say or think so. Are there universal truths, and are these truths indeed self-evident? Gabriel FAURE’: Pavane, Op. 50 – Paintings By “CLAUDE MONET” – YouTube 7:04 By Austin Gerth – Classical MPR I’m hard-pressed to …

The Birth of a New Religion

Posted by on

Tuberculosis (TB) has been with us since ancient times and is found in every country in the world. It is estimated that one-third of the world’s population is infected with the TB bacterium. It is a leading cause of infectious disease worldwide, killing roughly 1.5 million people each year. TB is an airborne disease that …

Where are the Free-Thinkers?

Posted by on

I was heavily imbibed one night many years ago and received an email from a Republican friend forwarding disinformation about how messed up something was with some leading Democrat. What she described was indeed messed up, but simply forwarding the same misinformation yet again really set me off that night. “She’s smarter than this,” I …

The Right to be Armed

Posted by on

A friend of mine posted this recently on spacebook… “For those of you who ask… who wants to take away your guns? Who wants to take your constitutional rights away. Take a gander at this.” 15:45 – Legally Armed America This was my response… Many people have come to me over the years telling me …

Unfriended in the Name of Tolerance

Posted by on

Unfriended; chalk up one more for “tolerance”…. A friend screamed at me one night over the phone two or three years ago that she belonged to “the party that cares about people!” It has been no secret for a long time that I disdain both political parties as two wings of the same bird, and …

Criticizing Bankers – Return to Glass-Steagall

Posted by on

I criticize Bankers a lot, and have been concerned for some time about my criticism being misunderstood. My wrath is dedicated to those psychopaths in government and on Wall Street who long ago determined, by stealth and deception, to misappropriate for themselves everything the common man had ever honestly worked for. I have never harbored …

Forum: CRISIS-19-Public

Posted by on

A handful of us here spent extensive time and energy since mid-March trying to learn what is the nature of this pandemic that has been thrust upon us. After a flurry of emails, we finally added a new Public Group to the site for this purpose (link below). CRISIS-19-Public I continue to receive a large …

Gibran on Giving

Posted by on

There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward. And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism. And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue; They give as in yonder …

Size Doesn’t Matter

Posted by on

Did you know that Scarlett Johansson is only 5′-3″ tall? About the same as Robert De Niro. That was a joke, kind of. A reminder though from Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan that even a Chihuahua is sometimes the leader of the pack. Size doesn’t matter. It’s what’s in your heart that counts.

The Power of Words – Gone Awry

Posted by on

This was originally posted for a small group of friends on Facebook, and I was unsure I would post it here. I do so now after some deliberation. I believe this is something that should be thought about on a broader scale, asking why we glorify ‘thugness’ – whether it was James Cagney during the …

Eric Clapton: Let It Grow

Posted by on

Another European. A beautiful song with beautiful imagery. I hope you enjoy. There are some striking scenes of the plasma which surrounds the Earth… the aurora borealis. Did you know that Eric Clapton never liked his own singing voice? 5:12 Let It Grow Standing at the crossroads, trying to read the signs To tell me …

Pachelbel: Canon in D

Posted by on

Written in the late 1600’s for three violins and one cello, Pachelbel’s Canon in D has certainly withstood the test of time. This rendition from Australia, a String Quartet, with three women and one man. Beautiful, on so many levels, if you are able to see and hear it… imbibe it even, while you still …

JS Bach: “Air” – Orchestral Suite No. 3

Posted by on

Continued, another installment in our push back against the Nihilists that plan to take over the world. This is J.S. Bach’s “Air” from Orchestral Suite No. 3, performed by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic. Some may find it offensive that Bach was European, and a man. Still, I believe that this is another classic representation of …

Dave Brubeck: Take Five

Posted by on

Dave Brubeck was a classically trained pianist who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1951 he formed the Dave Brubeck Quartet with Paul Desmond on alto saxophone. Desmond would eventually compose the following piece, written in 5/4 time. This would go on to be the biggest-selling jazz single of all time. Take …

The Windmills of Your Mind

Posted by on

A song that celebrates the wonder of romantic love. That spellbinding attraction that exists between the sexes, rich, and organic. It is an emotion truly not describable by words alone… I post here The Thomas Crown Affair (1999) movie version, sung by Mr. Gordon Sumner. It is my own personal favorite. 4:13 The Windmills of …

Erik Satie: Gymnopédies

Posted by on

Here’s one with pictures. Compare this to your favorite slutty half-time show filled with demonic symbolism. 15:45 – Updated 23 Dec 2022 because the original YouTube video was no longer available. Special Thanks to Estoy Perdida… Eric Alfred Leslie Satie (17 May 1866 – 1 July 1925), who signed his name Erik Satie after 1884, …

Rachmaninoff: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini

Posted by on

So who will stand the test of time, Rachmaninoff or someone named Dawg? Sadly, that probably depends on the culture. A culture that now looks down, instead of up. And that seems to be the direction we’re going – down. Any culture that glorifies all that is nasty and evil instead of all that is …

Debussy: Clair de Lune as Art

Posted by on

Another post in our ongoing quest to determine whether there is intrinsic value in great works of art, or whether one person’s turd is just as great as another’s Debussy, well, because someone decided it was… 5:29 – Kathia Buniatishvili – Claude Debussy: Clair de lune For anyone who is actually listening to these, here …
