Well Ilargi; thank you for another year of TAE; some of the very best writing on the intertubes.
Here’s hoping the coming new year will find you, Nicole, and the commentariate in fine fettle.
I say that knowing full well, 2018 will try the souls of the well meaning, good hearted inhabitant’s, of the most beautiful, little blue dot…

I spent some time researching Klee’s painting (Dancing Under the Empire of Fear 1938) and found little to nothing in way of interpretation; so, I’ll offer mine.
I see swastika’s stylised in the figures; a foreshadowing of the coming catastrophe.
Rather an amazing piece given the time…

It doesn’t; when will you, of all people; realize that the madness of being is a created continuum?

V. Arnold,

Thanks so much for your good wishes. And your continuing attention

Happy New Year to you and everyone else who reads the Automatic Earth.

Sent my first New Year’s wishes hours ago to Nicole in New Zealand.

Then got stuck watching It Happened One Night. An 83 year-old movie?!

2018 won’t be nearly as quiet as 2017. Which most people already probably don’t see as quiet at all.

Seatbelts!

For those of you who have been brainwashed into thinking that the Middle East is all about fanaticism, war and oil. Here is a song by an Egyptian artist. I have put a translation of the lyrics (done by someone else) below.

Hany Shaker – Kol Sana Wenta Tayeb

The title is difficult to translate. It is a common expression in Egyptian Arabic and is used in the same way we say “Happy Birthday.” It actually means “May you be in good health year”

“I wish that you stay in good health every year
i wish that every year you stay near,

every night is a feast to my heart
as long as your heart is near mine
every night is a feast to my heart
as long as your heart is near mine,
the most beautiful thing in this life is my love
how lucky my heart that he has you

every night is a feast to my heart
as long as your heart is near mine,
the most beautiful thing in this life is my love
how lucky my heart that he has you

I’ve been thinking about my state for many nights
I loved,i dreamt,i stayed sleepless at night
and my imagination begins,and I drown in the sea of love
I love you I love you I will always do
I think about your absence I think about you being here,
I tell your heart a lots of sweet words
I’ve been thinking about my state for many nights
I loved,i dreamt,I stayed sleepless at night
and my imagination begins,and I drown in the sea of love
I love you I love you I will always do
I think about your absence I think about you being here,
I tell your heart a lots of sweet words.

I wish that every year you stay my life
and that you are my night and my moonlight
I wish that every year you stay my life
and that you are my night and my moonlight
you are the most precious one
you are all this life
you are the most precious one
you are all this life,
I will live all my coming days with you
you are the most precious one
you are all this life,
I will live all my coming days with you.

I’ve been thinking about my state for many nights
I loved,i dreamt,I stayed sleepless at night
and my imagination begins,and I drown in the sea of love
I love you I love you I will always do
I think about your absence I think about you being here,
I tell your heart a lots of sweet words”

The same guys who are only too happy to rape Swedish babes are actually quite sentimental and would never dream of doing anything similar to one of their own. They are racists – just like you and I.
