Pablo Picasso Man with arms crossed 1909 • World Economy At Risk Of Another Financial Crash – IMF (G.) • Soaring US dollar Threatens Trouble Fo
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle October 4 2018]Even the once vaunted Forest Service, symbolized by Smoky the Bear, is corrupt and incompetent.
Waldo lake, in the high Cascades (5,000′ elevation) of Oregon was the purity standard for fresh water in the U.S..
The standard white disc could be seen at a depth of 100′.
I loved that lake and spent more than a little time there sea kyaking those pristene waters; truly, it was awesone. So clear, one felt they were flying over mountains and valleys under the water as one cruised over them.
One of the last times I went there, a German tourist was bathing using soap in the lake. I was incensed and read him the riot act and then reported him to the park ranger who promptly told me he couldn’t do anything.
Total bullshit!
That marked yet another spot of rot in the illusion of the Forest Service as anything worthy or honestly useful in protecting the environment.
The whole reason that lake was so pristine was the total lack of pollution giving food for the growth of algae; color that gone; the lake is finally spoilt due to gross mismanagement !!!!!!!! 🙁“Wyoming and Idaho, those retro redneck havens of braindead racism, industrial serfdom, and furious, moron machismo.”
Wow. Because this is not racist, hateful, or pejorative at all. I need not take the shocking step of replacing the names of some other ethnic group or location into this sentence, because it would shock and sicken us all. These are the words used before ethnic cleansings, to “de-people” and “other” them.
Unfortunately, America today is filled with such language, and such violent calls to hate are not only universally tolerated, such calls to murder are widely applauded as something “all the right-thinking people say,” …just as before every other historic ethnic cleansing and political mass-murder. If people back then didn’t also think it was a happy, laudable, justifiable final solution, they wouldn’t have participated so of COURSE such ethnic slurs, such violent oppression, such murder is widely spoken of as good.
The case of the bears is one of simple science and policy, but I don’t take my advice from hateful, intolerant fanatics, who instead of attacking bears, attack their fellow men.
I remember during the election the entire comment section of Slate (Slate!!) was filled with calls to kill everyone in Michigan and Wisconsin (Wisconsin!) for being backward, racist hillbillies, despite that like every other state, most people there live in cities. And the people calling for the indiscriminant and summary mass-murder of 15 million countrymen they’d never met, 2 Million of whom may be people of color, claimed it was love and a service to humanity because “those people” were “violent.” Excuse me? You may want to check the reception on your antenna. …Much as they dislike them, I don’t hear the macho morons of redneck havens calling for the summary execution of everyone in Massachusetts and California. It’s unthinkable because even moron rednecks from Montana and Wyoming have more basic humanity and common sense than that.
Not so coastal intellectuals who daily publish such calls to arms. And you wonder why, when there’s been a call to ethnically cleanse 20 states for the good of (blue) humanity, those states became alarmed enough to vote in even someone like DJT. What a wake up call!
Or not, because they won’t wake up, so those states are still trapped in a violent nightmare of hate. The tolerant, loving intellectuals, living in city apartments, having never seen a bison, touched a cow, or worked 18 hours harvesting price-suppressed food with a broken tractor in a county with no health care while the bank hovers over their head, are going to tell the country how wrong they are about things they’ve never seen, on the open and viable threat of murdering them en masse, or else.
Okay, trying to be slightly more positive, here is an article on reversing desertification: https://ourworld.unu.edu/en/reversing-desertification-with-livestock
How easy it is, and yet how complex. About how high levels of grazing animals are not only permissible, but REQUIRED for this to happen. But more especially, how all these moron redneck hillbilly shepherds TOLD science this, science didn’t listen, and thereby DESTROYED ecosystems worldwide they pretended to save in their intense, fatal, intellectual ignorance. Thereby killing not only the native peoples of all those lands, such as the Serengeti, but the native plants and wild animals too…Just like every other time in science’s history. Now having crashed the world bus and measurably REDUCED the food-growing areas worldwide in their IYI arrogance, then calling for the death and de-population of millions of humans, these are the shepherds and traditional farmers they’re now talking down to about the correct population of wolves, bears, and bison. The ones they call “ignorant rednecks” because unlike the PhDs who provably destroy everything they touch, they got out of the office and into the field to actually LOOK at things and see.For the love of God and all things holy, please learn something about food, ecosystems, and populations with your hands before lovingly murdering millions of your fellow men for their own good. Have we learned nothing? Can we learn something this time? It’s a level of ignorance and arrogance – and murder – that’s incomprehensible to me and millions like me. …And you wonder why they won’t give up their firearms.
Joe Bagent would be a good source for a look at the real, rural America; Rainbow Pie gives a pretty good overview.
Joe was a pretty good voice for the country folk…The Picasso; Pablo Picasso Man with arms crossed 1909, has given me a bit of trouble; first, I don’t like it much.
And it all falls from there; the exagerated cheek bones, the poor detail of the crossed arms, the shape of the mans head, and the hair, not good, IMO.
But whatever; no accounting for taste…Eventhough I keep myself informed about the world events, I am still powerless to change the outcomes of the actions that have been taken by individuals that have power and wealth/money.
Who’s actions have the most effects?
Does it matter if you are not affected?
Does it matter if you put a label on that action? socialist? capitalist?We have frost, again, this morning. Yesterday, I had to dump a wheelbarrow of surplus green tomatoes because nobody wanted them.
The USA farmers found ways of getting their milk production subsidized (corn).
Canadians found ways to keep a dairy industry in Canada. (Supply management)
The USA found a way to dump their excess dairy & products into Canada.
Canada will have to find another mechanism to keep a dairy industry in Canada.
VA, as for the Picasso; again, found a treasure trove, and in his case, I think I’ll do a chronological overview to show how he grew, what phases he went through etc. Thing is, for me, you can’t question Picasso, he’s such a master. He was looking from a very young age to bridge the divide between 2D and 3D. This painting is part of that process, albeit a very early attempt. How to catch what you see in 3D real life, into a 2D surface. People who look at themselves in a mirror, do they understand they can never see their own 3D image that everybody else CAN see? They can’t walk around themselves like others can. And still women are obsessed with how they look in 2D, look at the mirror, put on make up, because it’s the closest they can get. That’s the conundrum Picasso was after.
Picasso story
Somebody was saying to Picasso that he ought to make pictures of things the way they are — objective pictures. He mumbled he wasn’t quite sure what that would be. The person who was bullying him produced a photograph of his wife from his wallet and said, “There, you see, that is a picture of how she really is.” Picasso looked at it and said, “She is rather small, isn’t she? And flat?”
