Between the Lines About Between the Sheets

culture, deep decline, sex, society

This story from the Guardian says much, though maybe not as Rose George meant to say it; even more lurks by implication, starting with the title picture.

We owe a lot to the sex lives of Greeks. Ancient Greece gave us the origins of the names and concepts for homosexuality, homophobia and nymphomania, as well as narcissism and pederasty. The Romans talked freely to each other in toilets and were equally community-minded when it came to sex, with a reputation for lasciviousness and orgies. Georgians, we believe, were smutty, and Victorians were prudes and hypocrites. (All of these are partial truths.) We like to use sex as a mirror of an era, and to make judgments accordingly. What then, are we to make of us right now?

This is the most sex-positive age ever, right? We are liberal and comfortable with sex like no other people have ever been. Our magazines publish articles on how to get on better with your clitoris. Porn is freely available (and accessed by teenagers). Erotic books are bestsellers, however badly written. TV broadcasts shows in which the contestants are naked, or have sex in a box, or make a sex tape on camera. If sexual choice were a shop, it would be a hypermarket, with dizzyingly long aisles of every possibility: straight, gay, bi, trans, poly, fluid, each with its own culture and each widely accepted.

In this sex-positive version of reality, we have been unleashed from the bonds of church and religion, and suffocating family expectation; we are free, and we’re enjoying being easy. …

She goes on to admit, without seeming to understand the connections, that all of this liberalism just ain’t that sexy. Maybe, just maybe, the libertine isn’t of liberty. Maybe there really was something to social, religious, and family constraint. Maybe waiting until the well’s almost dry to have a family, just in time to care for elderly boomer parents who spent all the money, while working two or four jobs just isn’t natural. It would be called the “Dys-Gen Hypermarket, where Civilization ENDS!”

And hold on Rose; though we seem to be catching them, there were once twin kingdoms which outpaced our depravity – until one night around 1,700 BC.

Maybe the Official End of the United States Too

2033, Iran, Trump, War

Not necessarily outright, but a useless war with Iran could well precipitate the eventual and inevitable breakup of the U.S. Empire.

“If Iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of Iran. Never threaten the United States again!,” Trump tweeted Sunday afternoon.

It’s unclear exactly what promoted Trump’s posting, but news outlets reported explosions in Iraq’s capital and that a rocket launcher was discovered in eastern Baghdad, an area that is home to Iranian-backed Shiite militias.

Step One: Get rid of Bolton. Step Two: Ditch Twitter. Step Three: Watch a 2015-16 campaign event and note the topics (and then start following through).

Fake Gas, False Flag

false flag, foreign affairs, lies, OPCW, Syria, War

It’s not on Faceberg anymore, so the Syrian gas attack that never happened isn’t real. News out of OPCW must not be real either, as neither the socials nor the “media” have covered it. Vox Day did. He’s certainly correct about any Iranian implications (more lies).

Don’t believe any of the new stories about Iranian “attacks” that are now beginning to appear as the neocons continue banging their idiot war drums. All of these purported justifications for military action in the Middle East and the Gulf are fraudulent and they have been for decades. It has now been reported that the “poison gas attacks” supposedly conducted by Syrian government forces were no more real than Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass destruction”.

A huge international news story broke last week, but I doubt you will hear about it anywhere else. It seems very likely that the decision we, France and the USA made in April 2018 to bomb Syria was based on a mistake as big as the fictional weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in 2003.

The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the international body which examines alleged incidents of the use of poison gas, has just confirmed to me that a devastating leaked document from its Dutch HQ is genuine.

The document, written by one of the OPCW’s most experienced investigators, shows that it is highly unlikely that gas canisters found at the scene of an alleged poison gas attack in Douma, Syria, were actually dropped from helicopters – as has been widely believed and claimed. The claim is crucial to the case for bombing Syria. A copy of the leaked document can be found on my blog on Mail Online.

Yet the OPCW’s official report on the event made no mention of any such doubts. What is going on? The OPCW is a valuable organisation, containing many fine people, with a noble purpose, but has it been placed under pressure, or even hijacked, by political forces which seek a justification for military intervention in Syria?

Given that a decision between war or peace, affecting the whole planet, could one day hang on its judgments, I think the world is entitled to an inquiry into what is happening behind its closed doors.

The treason committed by the FBI isn’t the only treason that has been committed in the last twenty years.

This is nothing new. I covered the same, with the same conclusions, last year – Here and Here.

My summary sarcasm from April 16, 2018:

Quick recap: Assad used Tower 7 yellow cake, in a surprise attack, to sink the Maine in the Gulf of Tonkin, in violation of unarmed neutrality (NO weapons on board), necessitating income tax withholding only until the Taliban are defeated at Charleston Harbor. That’s the truth! Your taxes: pay them.

Vedder Vets the Academy

book review, books, college, education, Restoring the Promise, Richard Vedder

Today, I began my foray into “Restoring the Promise, Higher Education in America,” by Richard Vedder. I’m only the “praises,” the introduction, and chapter one in so far. And, so far, so good. This is a preliminary review preview, but for the most part, I like what I’m reading.

Sayeth Amazon and the Publisher:

American higher education is increasingly in trouble. Universities are facing an uncertain and unsettling future with free speech suppression, out-of-control Federal student aid programs, soaring administrative costs, and intercollegiate athletics mired in corruption. Restoring the Promise explores these issues and exposes the federal government’s role in contributing to them. With up-to-date discussions of the most recent developments on university campuses, this book is the most comprehensive assessment of universities in recent years.

An initial thought: The forward is a list of quotes by industry “leaders,” heavies in academia, many from government or NGO-ish positions, like Bill Bennett. That’s fine and to be expected. However, many of these folks have been around the business for a long time – all while the problems worsen. Not blaming, just saying. Vedder too, by his admission, is a seven-decade veteran. I’m wondering if those who are certainly in the know, because of their long involvement, also know how to extricate from the current dilemma (if that’s even possible). On the other hand, when a deep insider recognizes systemic failure, that says volumes.

We shall see. More on that, here, later.

Amazon/Independent Institute/Vedder.

PS: And, I mean HERE. Amazon would not run my (Amazon custom) review of  A Fatal Mercy, allegedly because it linked back to my review here. There’s also the “Terms” thing about authors not doing reviews, which never made full sense to me so long as one refrains from reviewing one’s own book(s). Anyway: Stars (only and only so long as that’s allowed), there, and review text, here (the CH thing with WP…). I am also wondering if this is part of the SJW/Tech push to shadowban. Promise and Fatal Mercy are both right-of-center. I note no reviews for either, even as I’m prompted to enter at least a star review, immediately upon purchase and without the benefit of reading. Odd.

Another musical interlude. Horn, for my money, one of the most underrated pop composers/performers of an era (not sure which), keeps shaking up his MTV launch tune. “Rapping” commences around 4:10 herein:

First Amendment, France, jail, Julian Assange, reporters

In France, reporters face jail time for spilling secrets the government would rather keep quiet.

JOURNALISTS IN FRANCE are facing potential jail sentences in an unprecedented case over their handling of secret documents detailing the country’s involvement in the Yemen conflict.

Earlier this week, a reporter from Radio France and the co-founders of Paris-based investigative news organization Disclose were called in for questioning at the offices of the General Directorate for Internal Security, known as the DGSI. The agency is tasked with fighting terrorism, espionage, and other domestic threats, similar in function to the FBI in the United States.

The two news organizations published stories in April — together with The Intercept, Mediapart, ARTE Info, and Konbini News — that revealed the vast amount of French, British, and American military equipment sold to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and subsequently used by those nations to wage war in Yemen.

The stories — based on a secret document authored by France’s Directorate of Military Intelligence and obtained by the journalists at Disclose — highlighted that officials at the top of the French government had seemingly lied to the public about the role of French weapons in the war. They demonstrated the extent of Western nations’ complicity in the devastating conflict, which has killed or injured more than 17,900 civilians and triggered a famine that has taken the lives of an estimated 85,000 children.

A government lies to its people about killing children?! Must be a first… Too bad the Frenchies don’t have freedom of the press, like we …

Maybe to Your Town

crazy, illegal, invasion, Trump

Certainly with your money. Donald “MAGA” “Build the WALL” Trump plans to resettle (let’s not kid ourselves) 225K illegal aliens … somewhere, somehow, someday.

The Trump administration is looking to hire a private contractor that will be responsible for transporting approximately 225,000 migrant children and families to shelters across the country over the next five years as they wait for their asylum claims to be processed.

ICE (the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency) is seeking the services of a “highly responsible” contractor that “fully embraces the philosophy” of treating all unaccompanied minors (UACs) and family units (FAMUs) with “dignity and respect,” according to a federal procurement document dated May 13.

A responsible philosophy of dignity and respect. This sounds racist as hell to me! What are the other 30 million illegals supposed to do? Make their own travel arrangements? That actor guy was right about Trump! Maybe the SJWs were right about abolishing ICE.

A better idea, given that these are “children and families,” might be to build a big water park near to the Southern border. The ultimate ride could be a giant water slide tower, one that deposits thrilled UAC-FAMU frolickers right over the Wall.* Then again, I stopped making suggestions to the White House when they never answered any of my other questions and comments. At this point, go ahead and resettle all of them. I hear Trump Tower might have some vacancies.

*Would also require building the Wall.

Saudi Arabia: “Let’s You and Him Fight”

Iran, Saudi Arabia, shut up!, War

Please, do shut up. Fight your own war if you’re so inclined. Leave us the hell out of it.

A state-aligned Saudi newspaper is calling for “surgical” U.S. strikes in retaliation against alleged threats from Iran.

The Arab News published an editorial in English on Thursday, arguing that after incidents this week against Saudi energy targets, the next logical step “should be surgical strikes.”

The editorial says U.S. airstrikes in Syria, when the government there was suspected of using chemical weapons against civilians, “set a precedent.”

It added that it’s “clear that (U.S.) sanctions are not sending the right message” and that “they must be hit hard,” in reference to Iran, without elaborating on what specific targets should be struck.

The newspaper’s publisher is the Saudi Research and Marketing Group, a company that had long been chaired by various sons of King Salman until 2014 and is regarded as reflecting official position.

Anything else you’d like while we’re at it? I hear this was an op-ed submitted by one “J. Bolton.”

This wonderful woman not only plays but she sings! Just excellent, I think. Have a listen (watch):

On a related note – Rumor has it that I’ve discovered even more newly added lyrics for “Video Killed the Radio Star,” maybe in a live performance. More on that, perhaps, at a later date. Maybe a TPC “Perrin’s Music Minute?”

Once again, my review of a powerful work of fiction. I really want Tom Moore to sell at least 1 million copies. Help do your part. And, so far, this is my only review. Despite their request for one, Amazon is a little slow in their review of my review. I suppose some SJW must be horrified right about now, looking at this linked review and the rest of my site. Hey, blue hair! Approve my 5 stars! The rest of you: buy the book and tack on 5s of your own. P

A Review of “A Fatal Mercy, The Man Who Lost The Civil War,” by Thomas Moore

The boy had it right in quoting his grandfather: “courage and fortitude are never in vain … no good cause is ever lost because all good causes are lost causes.” Even if he didn’t exactly understand the last part of it, that quote expresses an oft-felt theme, if not a rule, of life and of a higher civilization. It is the theme of his grandfather’s story from 1863 through 1913.

Was Drayton FitzHenry the man who lost the War for Southern Independence? The man himself certainly thought so, perhaps with good reason. Then again, the reader can, likely will, come to understand that there may have been a good reason behind the losing. The story is simple in its complexity, and visa versa.

Moore has really written two books in one. A Fatal…
