Rembrandt van Rijn Self-portrait 1629
I was truly struck by this painting…awe inspiring in its complexity/detail…
van Rijin was blessed by the gods…“I wonder if it’s possible that humans are no longer naturally grounded.”
Of course it is! I’ve been railing about this for decades…here at TAE as well…
Shoes; especially ones with rubber soles (or other insulating materials) keep us from grounding!!!!!!!!
Barefoot; if not every day then as often as possible…make time; it’s important!!!!!!
More even than you can imagine…if you can still imagine…………Paul Gauguin Sunken lane 1884
Lovey, beautifully rendered and a feast for the eyes; I would love a walk down that road…
“..military men are essentially pacifists. That does not mean that they are cowards, it means that, as professionals, they want to achieve their aims avoiding losses as far as possible.”
This statement is specious at best…
It has no standing in the reality of our present day world…The above post, black size matters, is a tasteless piece of garbage…
Just because one can post almost anything here doesn’t mean one should…With all this talk about heating with wood; there has been no mention of the dangers of burning less than dry wood.
Wood that is not fully dry can cause dangerous chimney fires. Thats because the less than fully dried wood causes tar deposits from smoke condensing in the chimney. Not to mention chimney fires are scary as hell; the noise is jet engine like…“Let me repeat that: The LEAD INVESTIGATOR of NS just died of a BEE STING and was CREMATED WITHIN HOURS.”
Stinks to the high heavens…
Check list for survival through the first couple of bottlenecks. Please add.
Zero mention of weapons for self defence….why is that?
I’m a certified instructor for rifle, pistol, and shotgun…
One or all will be very important for survival…IMHO,,,Here’s a link to the bridge attack story;
https://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/Well, it was only a matter of time until the Crimean bridge was attacked; which it was…this is getting very dangerous for the whole planet…
Putin Made a Peace Offer. Take it.
Of course you know, “they” won’t take it…
Pity…our days are likely numbered…Raúl Ilargi Meijer

Lovely painting; but something seems off about the lighting…Moon center above the frame?!
Yes, that fixes it nicely…thanks…
Toot ain’t cheap ya’know..
Yeah, I know. But it’s worse than that…
Hope; that’s whats missing…there is no hope for a better tomorrow…
Until that changes; there is no tomorrow to hope for………….The insanity the western world inhabits is breathtaking; lost souls wandering hither and yon looking for answers….
An article on Yahoo (yeah, I know) a poor soul wailed about making $300,000 a year and living paycheck to paycheck; what? Am I supposed to feel sorry for that sad sack of a human?
He’s one of the lost souls looking outside for answers that can only be found looking inside…deeply inside.
And I doubt he has a clue as to what I am talking about……….Interesting; today I cannot get http://www.strategic-culture.org/
or
https://www.moonofalabama.org/The messages I get says the problem is with the sites…

It’s Not Okay For Grown Adults To Say The Ukraine Invasion Was “Unprovoked”“So as you can see, the notion that this war is ‘unprovoked’ is a fart-brained fairy tale for idiots and children”
Thank you CJ for saying it like it is, in reality…

VietnamVetThe Hounds of War have been unleashed. One more dog has bit the dust. Unless an armistice is signed and a DMZ built, and everyone works together to survive this winter’s dark and cold, an atomic apocalypse is next. I hope I am wrong. But whoever thought of this operation and executed it is so dangerous and psychotic that they are willing kill billions to reach their goals.
Yes indeed, unleashed to….?
Just when I think it cannot get crazier; it progresses to full blown psychosis…
The assholes in charge won’t be happy until they start the nukes flying…the U.S. will lose badly and may cease to exist altogether…chettt #117042
I don’t think people realize just how badly the west treated the Russian citizens after the invasion and how this treatment affected the Russian people. Banning anyone with a Russian name from competing in athlete competitions. World famous Russian composers, Russian performers, Russian artist of all types and stripes were treated with scorn and ridicule just for being Russian. Hell, they even renamed a Russian painting!
Excellent post and spot on, IMO…

White House anxiously watches Meloni’s rise to powerUS’s hubris and hyperbole aside; so fragile and insecure…
Russias’ independence must be rattling cages…Always enjoy your art du jour; just not much inclined to comment/critique your daily offerings…
Thanks Ilargi as always………….Giorgia Meloni has won the Italian elections and is the next PM.
She’s a real fire brand; we need more like her…

@V.Arnold; resist the urge to express your agency like all the other fat headed monkey’s on this site. I’ll do it for you.Appreciate the offer, but frankly, I prefer to speak for myself…
As should be apparent; I rarely comment these days…September 24, 2022 at 1:14 am#116684

Thanks for that great link…long and thorough…best I’ve read to date…
Western civilisation (an oxymoron, IMO) is just so fucked up as to be inoperable for all practical purposes…
Failures at every turn; problem? Call up the military…bomb the shit out of them) them being the problem country du jour…

Denunciation, as I do, is from constant, chronic frustration and disappointment in people you care about too much. If you want to live, fight! …And by ‘fight’ I mean maybe buy one extra can of beans at the store and have a happy wood stove with a flashlight and batteries. NOPE! That’s why it’s so frustrating and disappointing. Can’t get that single step.Celente’s injection of THOUSANDS of dollars — his whole 401k — is a good example. During a war, he holds a rally for peace. On his own dime, as a life-long media person, with THOUSANDS of press releases. Nothing.
No-thing. Nada. Zip. Nuttin’. Not even the usual rally-which-does-nothing, but no rally, no cameras, no people, no press. No PEACE. They, the people, are clearly by this response, #AntiPeace. Violently, actively, tirelessly #AntiPeace. What can you say? I’m happy, mom? Don’t worry about it, dad? It’s nothing, son. I’m sure doesn’t mean anything and nothing bad will happen.
…and there it is…the reality of todays U.S. citizens…
Spot on Dr. D
I couldn’t bear, so I fought back…I do so want to post; but have absolutely no idea what to say……..
I read the Debt Rattles every day and cannot muster a thing I think is worth it’s salt…Marcel Duchamp Sonata 1911
I didn’t know that Sonatas’ traditionally feature a key-board along with other played insturments…

Chill and appreciate the beauty…life is so bloody short…Kazemir Malevich Floor polishers 1912
Such a strange painting/style…
I clicked the painting and saw an aray of Malevichs’ paintings…which I liked for the most part…
Never heard of him before this…thanks Ilargi…The vaccine carnage continues unabaited…
…and the profits climb also unabaited…I must say I’m a bit perplexed; and not a little disturbed by all this conspiracy stuff (vaccines/covid virus) regarding intentional population reduction by “the elites” (a term which I despise)…they are not elites but rather the worst of swine…
What I see is greed by all who can benefit from this , possibly created, covid virus…
…but, if that is what you are all about; then by all means carry on…sans me…
I’ll not buy this trope ever…Claude Monet Éretrat sunset 1882-3
