WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020
Gerard Van der Leun
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
For the disrobed faceless forms of no position
Tolling for the tongues with no place to bring their thoughts
All down in taken-for-granted situations
Tolling for the deaf an’ blind, tolling for the mute
Tolling for the mistreated, mateless mother, the mistitled prostitute
For the misdemeanor outlaw, chased an’ cheated by pursuit
An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
Even though a cloud’s white curtain in a far-off corner flashed
An’ the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting
Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail
For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale
An’ for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
— Bob Dylan
Stone-cutters fighting time with marble, you foredefeated
Challengers of oblivion
Eat cynical earnings, knowing rock splits, records fall down,
The square-limbed Roman letters
Scale in the thaws, wear in the rain. The poet as well
Builds his monument mockingly;
For man will be blotted out, the blithe earth die, the brave sun
Die blind and blacken to the heart:
Yet stones have stood for a thousand years, and pained
thoughts found
The honey of peace in old poems.
— Robinson Jeffers
Reason will not decide at last; the sword will decide.
The sword: an obsolete instrument of bronze or steel,
formerly used to kill men, but here
In the sense of a symbol. The sword: that is: the storms
and counter-storms of general destruction; killing
of men,
Destruction of all goods and materials; massacre, more or
less intentional, of children and women;
Destruction poured down from wings, the air made accomplice,
the innocent air
Perverted into assassin and poisoner.
The sword: that is: treachery and cowardice, incredible
baseness, incredible courage, loyalties, insanities.
The sword: weeping and despair, mass-enslavement,
mass-torture, frustration of all hopes
That starred man’s forehead. Tyranny for freedom, horror for
happiness, famine for bread, carrion for children.
Reason will not decide at last, the sword will decide.
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
— Eliot
The scientists are in terror
and the European mind stops
Wyndham Lewis chose blindness
rather than have his mind stop.
Night under wind mid garofani,
the petals are almost still
Mozart, Linnaeus, Sulmona,
When one’s friends hate each other
how can there be peace in the world?
Their asperities diverted me in my green time.
A blown husk that is finished
but the light sings eternal
a pale flare over marshes
where the salt hay whispers to tide’s change
Time, space,
neither life nor death is the answer.
And of man seeking good,
doing evil.
In meiner Heimat
where the dead walked
and the living were made of cardboard.

This is one of those videos that takes. It costs you dearly; you will lose braincells watching it.
The best parts –
The imitation news cast. Hilariously true.
Rae is shown her place is in th kitchen. Very funny.
Oh, and because the news doesn’t answer me when I ask, with regards to the toxic atmosphere against men, I have a question about that guy Rob Porter, for whom the news is vilifying Gen Kelly. Can anyone here give me some kind of answer? So Porter is a terrible husband it seems. And so the White House has to fire him.
Yes, but had he been convicted of a crime, thus a liability?
And my main question – so is Rob Porter never supposed to work anywhere ever again?
A side question, has Sen Frankenstein left the Senate yet? (Although, same thing, why does this behavior, if not criminal cost a man his job?)
Weeelll, I made it through a minute or two of that and had to check out. I think I need a shower.
Well, Caesar’s wife was supposed to be above reproach, so you can’t work in government if you’ve led a less than exemplary life or had some bad times. It’s been that way for a long time
What is actually happening (imo) is that the psychopaths and sociopaths, those who are very good at masking their misdemeanors, cruelties and crimes, are purging the normies from government. When everybody is crooked, they all have nothing to fear from each other, and there is more cooperation.
You don’t really expect people to watch 11 minutes of that do you? I watched 10 seconds before I stopped it.
Actually, schoolboy, in the last week over 120,000 people have watched it.
Anyone else want to drug Cathy Areu and ship her to Saudi Arabia?
It was kinda funny with the usual bullshit as if fat had anything to do with it.
well, this got shared on some libtard site. expect more hate comments!
