I must tell you-you are a man after my own heart, my Paraguayan friend.
I cannot help but admire the fact that you refused to get ensnared by any woman. Women over here,they are, all of them  radical feminists.The only time they are not is when they are sleeping with the boss or giving him a blow-job get the next promotion.

I don't even talk to women, let alone date them.
As you are a film connoisseur- I would request you to recommend some Mafia-themed movies.I have observed that such movies are quite close to the kind of reality we live in.

Take care.

Holden,

I think that without the invasion of India by the British Empire we would not be sharing your thoughts in this board.

I have seen these movies:

The Godfather (Part I-II and III) Al Pacino, Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro
Taxi Driver with Robert De Niro
Scarface with Al Pacino
Heat with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino
Carlito´s Way with Al Pacino and Sean Penn
American Gangster with Denzel Washington
No Country for Old Men
Collateral with Tom Cruise
The Lord of War with Nicholas Gage
The Irishman with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino
Eastern Promises with Viggo Mortensen
A History of Violence with Viggo Mortensen
Drive with Ryan Gosling and Bryan Cranston
In Bruges with Colin Farrell
Traffic
Blow with Johnny Depp
Public Enemies with Johnny Depp
The Wolf of Wall Street
 
I read a book by an Argentine author, Ernesto Sábato, Antes del Fin (Before the End) written in 1998. In one of the paragraphs he mentioned Bishop Hatto II and the Mouse Tower.  This man was the Archbishop of Mainz in Germany and restored the tower in 968. The legend has it that in the Mouse Tower Hatto II after having the starving peasants burned to death, was in turn locked in that tower in order to be eaten alive by the mice.

Then in another part of the book he writes:

This is what most men do with their dual existence: day and night. A poor office worker dreams of murdering his boss and during the day he greets him respectfully. The human being is essentially contradictory and even Descartes, cornerstone of rationalism, created the principles of his theory from the three dreams he had.What a beautiful beginning for a defender of reason!

He also writes:

Economic absolutism has emerged as a power. Invisible despot, it controls with its orders the dictatorship of hunger, which no longer respects ideologies or flags, and ends equally with men and women, with the projects of the young and the rest of our elders.

An example of the dehumanization to which this system is leading us is Brazil: while forty million hungry people populate the northeast, in Sao Paulo there are almost a million homeless children, who steal in the streets in order to eat something, forced to prostitute themselves in their childhood, killed by specialized commandos, kidnapped and killed in order to sell their organs to the laboratories of the world.

A Dominican priest, professor of theology at the University of San Pablo, told me that a study by the federal police revealed that in the last three years, four thousand six hundred children were murdered in the country.

Thousands of Latin American children are exported from their country of origin to Europe, the United States and Japan; and there are enough indications that prove the existence of sacrificed children, especially in Brazil, Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico.

It seems that the dignity of human life was not foreseen in the globalization plan. Anguish is the only thing that has reached levels never seen before. It is a world that lives in perversity, where a few count their achievements over the amputation of the life of the vast majority. Some poor devil has been made to believe that he belongs to the First World because he has access to the innumerable products of a supermarket. And while that poor wretch sleeps peacefully, locked up in his fortress of gadgets and trinkets, thousands of families must survive on a dollar a day. Millions are excluded from the great banquet of the economists.

Stay well.

Mother dreamed every night and throughout the night, as she implied, but did not tell me her dreams, her twilight life escaped me, maybe sometimes acted, women lie as they breathe, their dark side was unknown to me and is the rule of the game between mother and child. The dark side of women is more terrible than ours, in the West we pretend to ignore their darkness, the Middle Ages spoke - it is true-of Melusina, and Melusina is, in my opinion the most admirable female portrait, in that respect the West never got so far.

Man can live without the woman, the woman cannot, the woman hangs from man and man mistakenly imagines that he persecutes her, when it is she who calls him. The convents of men are worth infinitely more than the convents of women, men do not need love, the flesh does not torment them with the same force, man does not suffer from being a man, but for lack of money or power, woman suffers from being a woman and also from not being loved.  The beautiful appearances, the laughter, the games, the trifles and the graces, foam of the deep sea and beneath the foam a black world in which we no longer belong, but we belong to the species.

Man turned against the woman and if he had not resisted, the world would not have changed from the beginning.  Mother agreed on it and in general was more heir of Antigone than of Medea, one could reason with Mother, Mother harbored in her head a real man discreet, of good counsel and enlightened judgment, full of measure and righteousness. It is a pity that her illness would have ruined her most noble qualities, we killed her spirit to prevent her flesh from torturing her again and again, she suffered little and only in the hours preceding her death.

We are hypocrites, we deceive their fears and their hopes, it was the most horrible theater, our manners were imposed on us, and we did not dare to confront them, I regret that spiritual murder and I would have preferred euthanasia, I would have preferred not to deceive the sick lady and that she die voluntarily at the beginning of agony, that is my only remorse. Poor Mother, victim of charity, that did not save her from decay, we overwhelmed her with medicines that her head could not resist, she lived  alas! what a life, in  comparison a physical murder turns out to be a blessing.

And what should have been done? Would Mother have endured the enlightenment that we denied her?  She spoke of her old age and never of her death, she preferred to grow old to die with elegance, that's not the mood of a coquette lady, she liked living and when she was young, it seems that she had a lot of fun in Berlin from 1925 to 1929, she had had her share of joy and frivolity, that made her sober She judged me singularly tragic and, without condemning me, she did not fall into my pessimism, she confessed that every woman has resources that men don't even suspect.

Thanks for the response,Senor Raul.
I appreciate the list sent by you. There are a lot of mosquitoes here and they start biting me around 7 O'clock in the evening. I use a repellent to get rid of them but its not always effective.
 
I have been taking Omega-3 capsules to boost immunity. I am not very sure if it works  or not.
I could have done nothing about my birth.
But the very thought of marriage repels me.What kind of man would like to get married in a world such as ours?

The idea is to try to realise the fact that its not just "my life" that is problematic but all life.
Take care.

Holden,

It is good that you are taking care of your body. I hope you are not having problems with your medication. Here I went to buy some food in a small store and I forgot to wear my mask. So I expect to be fined at any time.

Here I have heard some interviews with some doctors in the alternative media. One of them, an Argentine doctor, Chinda Brandolino, said in an interview that the virus cannot be transmitted through the air as the health authorities have been saying. She says that the virus is in the vaccines for the flu. In Spain and Italy the vaccination campaigns started in November so in March most started suffering the symptons. Here the campaing was in May. She also says that the virus has not been isolated. 

That is the reason, she says, the mass media often reports of outbreaks because when a person gets the vaccine, three or four months later the he or she is starting to suffer the symptons. So there is a clear link between the virus and the vaccine. I found strange that the Ministry of Health spoke of outbreaks in September and October.  It is truly a diabolical plan. These measures such as the face masks and social distancing are just political measures to silence the people. I read in Rafapal, a blogger from Spain, that the World Bank purchased three years ago the tests kits. Also the PCR tests are not reliable because when the people test positive does not mean they are infected.

Apart from the China bug, the Paraguayan People´s Army or EPP, a guerrilla group, has kidnapped Oscar Denis (74), and his indigenous assistant in the northern part of the country. Señor Denis, a member of the Authentic Liberal Radical Party, was from 2012 to 2013 the Paraguayan vicepresident. The group demands the release of some of his leaders in prison and the distribution of food to indigenous communities for 2 million dollars. If their demands are not satisfied the group will execute him. Last week the regular army stormed a guerrilla camp in that part of the country and the result was the killing of two young girls, one of them was 11 and the other 12 years old.  They are said to be one of the leaders´children. The current president, Mario Abdo, went to the site, to show off believing that the leaders were killed.

Stay safe.

A Question for Herr Hauser and Senor Raul

Thanks for the message,Senor Raul.I accidentally ran into the biopic of one of Lovecraft's correspondents R.Howard.  HPL held Howard in high esteem and I was pleasantly surprised to find a man/writer who refused to get bullied to becoming a store clerk.

He died about the time HPL himself died. He often said, the road I walk, I walk alone.Certain kind of men are ,more or less, destined to walk alone. Lovecraft wrote to him a great deal, I guess.

There area a lot of militias in this country too,all of them fighting for one cause or another. What about the man who no longer believes in any causes at all.I tell you, this world it far stranger than I expected it to be.

Sometime back I lost a great deal of weight. It was because of my rather restrictive diet or the TB within me I cannot say for sure.
What I can tell you is that I felt like puking out whatever I ate.I  was terribly afraid because the last time that happened I ended up in a hospital for a month.

Well, I went to a store and bought different kinds of food-chocolate, ice-cream, noodles etc. With some amount to difficulty I could gulp all of that junk down.It appears to me that my body likes junk food. So, I have been eating all of that for the last few weeks and have regained the weight I lost.

My body, the machine, seems to like eating ice cream and chocolates!

Well, take care.

I also love ice cream, particularly chocolate.   If you mix the ice cream with some milk and a couple bananas, you get quite a treat if you have access to one of those old style (or new) blenders. 

I must feed the machine which is my body an enormous amount, making my own pizza crust from scratch, like crackers but slightly thicker.  I fill in the gaps with peanut butter sandwiches.   To break fast, I slice several potatoes, fry them in some vegetable oil, then crack at least a few eggs on them.   Sprinkling with pepper, it awakens the savage who will eat through the toothache pain from rotting teeth still in gums.   Life is ridiculous, after all.

One thing I miss most when institutionalized is access to a kitchen.  To prepare Lentils ... or the flat bread Holden clued us in on.  Even when the food is delicious, there is something just all too captivating about being fed like an animal in a zoo.  I can only  imagine how much a student might benefit from such a feeding schedule.

By the way, I've been able to keep up away from 119 pounds, where my weight had fallen (at 5 ft 7 in), up near 135 or so, what had been my usual weight for decades.

It takes so much energy just feeding ourselves.  I imagine that "professionals" and "essential personnel" must rely on take-out or fast food.  I don't know how the representatives of the Industrial World maintain the farce of professionalism. 

What happens when the groceries stop appearing on the shelves in the World Market Place?  I am what I eat.  I fear that the process of becoming nothing will not be painless.   My appetite is strong, and I suspect that my endurance for fasting has never been truly tested.  I go without eating only when ill or just wired on coffee and cigarettes.   Otherwise, my existence revolves around food gathering, food storage, food preparation, cleaning up after myself --- and, of course, as smooth and natural as possible release of wastes.  Without irrigation technology and plumbing, the process would be more humbling, but, with a private functioning toilet, it can allow for calm, guiltless release of the fecal matter.   :P

I must be a sicko, talking about such things.

Los Cuates de Sinaloa - Breaking Bad
« Reply #112 on: September 15, 2020, 11:12:10 am »
Holden,

Thank you for your response. I hope you are having your medications. I also hope your boss is giving you a little peace there.

I told you about the kidnapping of this politician and his indigenous driver by a guerilla cell in the northern part of the country, Concepción, because it is the main news. The news also appeared in the New York Times. Yesterday the indigenous boy was released by the guerrilla movement. We will see what happens with the former Vice President. His propects do not look good at all. His kidnapping also helps the politicians to distract people.

I say this because I bear this expression in mind from time to time: Think badly and you will be right.

It is not the first kidnapping here but his case is different. Also we have the case of a 7 year-old girl, Juliette Le Droumaguet, who has been missing for 6 months. She has cognitive problems and is the daughter of a Frenchman and a Paraguayan woman. Honestly, I suspect the worst in her case.  I also suspect of the reasons the health authorities are not performing autopsy to COVID-19 patients. There could be cases of trade in human organs.

We are all prisoners here in this human farm. As prisoners we suffer from the Stockholm Syndrome where we comply with the rules and norms of our kidnappers aka state, church, police, banking and big business and now the dictatorship of these medical quacks. After all commercial medicine, so I heard, is the third cause of death worldwide. Most doctors are just medication prescribers.

Although I have diabetes I eat chocolate sometimes and also junk food. It is bad also for my liver, but what the fffucck.

Stay safe.

P.S. I forgot to add to my list a TV series, Breaking Bad. I only saw some episodes. It is worth watching. These Mexican singers, Los Cuates de Sinaloa, sang in one of the episodes.

I can only  imagine how much a student might benefit from such a feeding schedule.-Herr Hauser

A lot of the mothers of the students who prepare for engineering entrance tests in India feed their kids while the kids continue to study the books.
These kids get two,maybe three attempts to pass the test.

The thing is though, that even if they do pass the test,most of them, spend the next four years studying different branches of engineering, which admittedly,includes  fair amount of maths.Then,they get a job, generally from their college itself,and by the time they are in their mid twenties,,maybe late twenties ,they are married.

Like Tolstoy says in Kreutzer Sonata,if a man does not have much experience of women ,then he tends to fall for the first one who comes along. Now, these guys are quite bright, but most of them, they never study a single thing on  philosophy(which they think is meant only for the low iq folks,) or any kind of genuine literature (which they think is meant for women only).

Anyone, to go back to the main point I am trying to make -by their late twenties, they are married,by early thirties most of them have kids and a job and most of them ,even if they possess the inclination, which I doubt many of them do, would not get the time to study that which matters a great deal.

Now, myself, I am like Benjamin Button, I devoted my youth to that which is not taught in of the Indian schools. Now, with no kids and no wife, I am free to explore mathematics to my heart's content and I have the rest of my life to do that, however long it might turn out to be.

It is that "stuff" which is looked down upon,by the school teachers here, & I have spent a great deal of time learning,that they will never get to study.

I quite accept of the fact that even after,if and when that happens, I would have developed a deep understanding of mathematics, I'd never have the kinds of jobs which these engineers have, because I am already too old as regards the eligibility criteria of the firms and that's okay.

But I might I have real shot at dying as a man who was not altogether a patsy of the society and of the nature.Now,that, they will never have, not in a million years,not if they are going to feed their wife and kids ,which is the obligation which they have embraced themselves.

Before dying, I might yet show these patsies what real devotion to the life of study and contemplation is all about ,though my mother never fed me when I was studying.

You can’t just go to work and do the tasks you’re paid to do - they want more. They want your flexibility, your cheerfulness, your team spirit, your ability to pretend that alienation is not an issue for you.

That Mexican song by Los Cuates de Sinaloa has some very dark humor in it. 

The Real World puffs itself up into significance.  It seems to make a mockery of any pretense to taking the Establishment seriously, blurring the lines of authority, order, dominance ... It begs the question, "What is ignorance?"

The musicians expose the world for what it is, and it appears to be a terrifying circus; and yet they seem to be taking it all in stride, as is their style, to be cool about it all, just shrugging their shoulders. 

There is a thin line between "sucker" and "gort," and this is where the very idea of ignorance is problematized, so to speak.   One may be seen as a sucker who remains ignorant of the underbelly of Industrialized Civilization, the violent and corrupt weapons trade fueled by drugs and drug money.  On the other hand, if that is all one respects, then one is missing out on the power of the inner life - the so-called intellectual, the cerebral, the spiritual.   I respect your intellectual powers, Senor Raul, and I also respect your well-rounded kind of intelligence.   You are no sucker, and certainly no gort.   You sympathize with how a sensitive soul might wish to hide in a Great Fortress of Solitude, so as not to have its most precious inner life trampled under foot by obedient thugs and machismo "bosses" ...

What I meant was that, if the authorities put as much food/resources into actually educating the population, as opposed to simply isolating and medicating, there might be monastic hermitages where students might flourish.  More funds go into prisons than universities, and prisons, at least on the county jail level of Small Town, USA, are actually more reminiscent of mental hospitals minus the good chow.

What are our county jails but holding tanks for the poor, hungry, mostly angry and traumatized bodies making up the human family?

Mr. Gardener,

Thank you for your response. Yes, Los Cuates de Sinaloa have a dark humor. Cuates in Mexican Spanish means buddies or mates. Los Cuates can have a lot of fun writing songs if they ever come here.

I think that my intellectual powers are not that big. I think I have realized the madness of this world. We, prisoners are tied to decaying bodies, suffering the pain through diseases, old age and finally death.

I have in high regard what you, Holden, Ibra, Silenus have written in this board. My ignorance is vast and when my time comes I will go without knowing or understanding many issues. This world is no picnic, no paradise at all.

I read your post where you mention the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the lethal results of their vaccination campaign in India. Here a Uruguayan journalist living here, Fernando Ferreira, found out that one of the Ministry of Health´s officials called Guillermo Sequera is linked to a Spanish group that is in turn linked to Bill Gates. Señor Sequera is in charge of monitoring the pandemic.

The Minister of Health, Julio Mazzoleni, stated that children will start school only when they are all vaccinated. From what I read Gates´vaccines pose a serious risk to people´s health. One ingredient, so to speak, of the vaccine is aluminum. Apart from that the Ministry of Education acquired a software called Classroom from Microsoft for virtual classes around the country. The Minister says it was a donation. The virtual classes were a failure but I knew that was going to be the case. Vaccines and Classroom are linked.

Stay safe and if possible take a siesta.
