Not Man Apart
Then what is the answer?– Not to be deluded by dreams.
To know that great civilizations have broken down into violence,
and their tyrants come, many times before.
When open violence appears, to avoid it with honor or choose
the least ugly faction; these evils are essential.
To keep one’s own integrity, be merciful and uncorrupted
and not wish for evil; and not be duped
By dreams of universal justice or happiness. These dreams will
not be fulfilled.
To know this, and know that however ugly the parts appear
the whole remains beautiful. A severed hand
Is an ugly thing and man dissevered from the earth and stars
and his history… for contemplation or in fact…
Often appears atrociously ugly. Integrity is wholeness,
the greatest beauty is
Organic wholeness, the wholeness of life and things, the divine beauty
of the universe. Love that, not man
Apart from that, or else you will share man’s pitiful confusions,
or drown in despair when his days darken.

Where the Sidewalk Ends
There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we’ll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we’ll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

Word is, Boris’ ass won’t get banged for awhile, as Johnson is allegedly staying as PM until October.
Still plenty of time to “push the button.”
He looks like a sloppy fuk.
Biden, Boris, and the rest of the EU stepped in it badly when they levied sanctions against Russia. Those sanctions not only backfired, they backfired severely. Germany is headed for a very cold winter, Britain’s economy is in shambles, and Russia will take 100% of Ukraine. To make matters worse, the US Department of State is actively proposing formal recognition of Taiwan which would be a catastrophic blunder, probably resulting in a shooting war with China.

I think one reason Emperor Pooh is hastening slowly is because they know that if they take their time the United Stupids of Meretriciousness will hand them precisely this gift-wrapped casus belli on a genuine fake Franklin Mint knock-off of Thomas Jefferson’s butler’s silver salver.
My Potassium Iodide stash was delivered yesterday.
Typical communist, “it’s everybody else’s fault!” England’s gone, it’s socialist to the bone, has consistently demonstrated socialist tendencies.
They need a new “ Last Lion”.
They need a new “ Last Lion”.
Ay, there’s the rub.
The only thing we can be sure of is he will be replaced by someone even worse.
Uncle Klaus says “Vate until you zee who we haf to replace him.”
Uncle Klaus, is THE louse, his days coming.
Tic Toc motherfucker!
