Zionism is not Judaism. Zionists unlike Jewish people traditionally do not have the belief in Exile. They are revanchist bigots, Neo Fascist like Jabotinsky

No it ain't. Why right now I sit wondering if the interview I have on Zoom will work out. Then I wonder why tomorrow either way I go to the beach called Stinson to warm my cold hours as if indifferent to grinding economic difficulty, this monster of Mary Shelley, https://youtu.be/UL2R4CsTO7U

Beach gentle wind of 15 mph and 77 degrees. Sun. Good day to park and gaze on the ole Pacific. Doubtlessly empty. Unless the unemployed find their way to the sand it may be nearly private. I'd rather Big Sur really but that is a complex trek with no car and not cheap overnight unless I can get a camping spot not too far from the Henry Miller Library.

For me it is a live write experiment, a not-poetics but a sense of place and this place is situated in the collapse of the West. A provocation and mockery. In 1963, the young han-geijutsu (‘Anti-Art’) artist had printed several hundred single-sided monochrome 1000-yen note semblances, mailing them in the post office’s cash envelopes as invitations to his exhibition of collage works in Tokyo. In the following months he made several thousand reproductions of the image, burning some of them in a performance and using others to wrap objects, like the bag pictured below. Nobody took much notice outside his own circle of artist friends.

The following year, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police launched a criminal investigation on Akasegawa, referring to an old, vaguely termed law prohibiting manufacture of objects with an exterior that “may be confused with currency.” This led to a highly publicised and drawn-out trial at Tokyo District Court which raised more provocative questions and reached more people than Akasegawa’s art works could ever have managed to do without the state intervention. https://wmuphoto.wordpress.com/2019/10/16/genpei-akasegawas-1000-yen-note-incident/

An art program reversing Benjamin

End of the Arcades

Suburbia and costly movement.. Affordability of bare life is collapsed with the Arcade idea. IF profitablity nexus return is forged by the players in the tug of war over raw power and "almost" crashing global civilization. Almost because the WEF, Bohemian Club, type of globalist conquistador is choosing winners for build back.

At a guess there is a major failure of the project and a more hostile attempt to take over the critical side of the vaxx debate due to that failure, which is majorly here on Substack. Down here in Oz & NZ there are adverts all over the TV for vaxxes of all sorts. I don't think that Australia even used to allow such adverts. It smells a little of desperation.

Also Stegiel has said that he can't comment. As blog is kind of separate from commenter (or writer) I guess posting is still allowed because that's the blog "journal of lingering sanity' but the poster called Stegiel is not allowed to comment anywhere.

They do have venture capital, quite a lot of it, 60m if I remember. Maybe the 2nd round came with more conditions. But I agree, without that commitment to free speech I don't see a business case for Substack.

A quid pro quo I assume. The backers of the WEF are basically all the large corporates. Which are in turn owned, more or less, by the same capitalists.
