And you can tell this in Oregon because–guess what?–it's raining. ;^}
I just went looking for the pictures I posted on my blog back in January of the bread baked in my wood stove. I wanted share them with Whig. It took me forever to find them (this was before I started using tags or it probably would have been simpler), but finally I did. I posted them at Whig's place (Cannablog in my blogroll), but if you missed them, they're here.
But the thing I noticed was how much stuff I wrote in here during the month of January. You may recall the big storms and stuff, and it's very clear that I was pretty housebound. I can see that it's going to be harder to sit down and wax philosophical as the days keep getting longer and the weather keeps getting better (yes, Ombudsben, we actually do get good weather here at some times of the year).
Yesterday I started a bunch of flower seeds in the kitchen window, noting that if anything would get things moving for my brother's treatment, my doing this was it. Sure enough, this morning the called him, and although there's still no firm schedule, things are rolling along very quickly. I hope the guys can keep them damp if I have to leave for a week or two. If not, I'll be buying nursery starts a little later.
But I have been procrastinating, and I think I'm going to have to whip myself into overdrive. There are roses to be moved, 5 trees and a lilac bush to be planted, Siberian iris to add to the spring garden, surplus Japanese iris to move, and on and on and on. Not nearly as much fun as strolling around looking at the blooming spring bulbs, but it has to happen.
Had a long day in town today and I'm sort of shot, so this will be a short entry tonight. But I did hear one more pretty funny ecumenical joke today. But I'm tired of offending folks, so I'll probably just keep it to myself.

VouchersFrom January 2018 access to Danish education for international employees, students and other independent adults is organized as a series of vouchers.
Your vouchers
You receive a voucher for each module in your Danish education. You do not receive vouchers for modules that you can skip.
- If you start at module 1 you will receive 6 vouchers
- If you start at module 2 you will receive 5 vouchers
- If you start at module 3 you will receive 4 vouchers
Each voucher gives you access to Danish education for a number of months matching the corresponding module.
- Voucher 1: 4 months
- Voucher 2: 5 months
- Voucher 3: 7 months
- Voucher 4: 8 months
- Voucher 5: 9 months
- Voucher 6: 9 months
If you spend shorter time at a module than the voucher allows
- When you complete the module, the voucher expires
- You can not transfer unused months to later modules
Example: You don't really find Danish that difficult and you complete module 1 in 2 months. Voucher 1 gives you up to 4 months so you have completed the module within the expected timeframe. When you begin module 2, voucher 2 is activated.
If you spend longer time at a module than the voucher allows
- If you are yet to complete a module, when the voucher expires, the next voucher is automatically activated
- Beware that you will miss a voucher for the last module of your Danish education
Example: The Danish grammar is weird, and after 8 months you are yet to complete module 4. Voucher 5 is automatically activated, which gives you an additional 9 months to complete the module. However, voucher 6 is then used for module 5, and you are out of vouchers for module 6, which you then have to make a full user payment of DKK 100 per lesson (1 lesson is 45 minutes).
The vouchers expire after 60 months (5 years).
Time is counting from the beginning of the Danish course, that you are offered by Lærdansk. Beware that time is counting even if you do not participate in the course. Time is also counting during holidays.
You must contact Lærdansk* to be offered Danish education. Do this no later than 30 days from receiving the referral from the municipality. Fail to do so and the first voucher will automatically be activated and time will start counting.
*) Note: In Aarhus you must contact the municipal Jobcenter, not Lærdansk
Should you wish to postpone your Danish education you must request a pause, after receiving the referral from the municipality, and before receiving the offer from Lærdansk. The request must be written and state when you wish to begin your course.
If you have started the final module before Danish Exam you are allowed to finish the module even if you are out of vouchers and even if more than 60 months have passed since you started the course.
When you activate a voucher you cannot pause it. If you wish to pause your Danish education without waisting a voucher you can do so between modules. At the module test we will ask you if you want to pause.
In case of serious and prolonged illness you can request for the duration of your current voucher to be increased. You must obtain a valid sick note or similar documentation. The municipality decides if your voucher can be extended. A week with the flu does not count as serious and prolonged illness.

Random Topics - Cigarettes
A cigarette is a product consumed through smoking and manufactured out of cured and finely cut tobacco leaves and reconstituted tobacco, often combined with other additives, then rolled or stuffed into a paper-wrapped cylinder (generally less than 4 3/4" in length and 3/8" in diameter). The cigarette is ignited at one end and allowed to smoulder for the purpose of inhalation of its smoke from the other (usually filtered) end, which is inserted in the mouth.

|Cigarettes are a gross, expensive habit. Smoking has many bad side effects (yellow teeth, wrinkles, cancer, etc.) that have been well documented, so I won't go into them. Even the whole smoking a cigar every once in a while thing is gross. I think cigars are worse than cigarettes. You can put lipstick on a donkey, but it's still a donkey, if you know what I mean... At the same time, if a business wants to allow smoking, it should be able to do that. I understand certain smoking bans (the workplace, airplanes) as second-hand smoke sucks, but private businesses should be allowed the freedom to make that call, but that's the Libertarian inside of me talking. -- Submitted By: (kingbk) on May 23, 2011, 6:58 pm - (2 votes) - Login to Vote

|I think, there are three major points against smoking: 1. I admit, I am smoking myself from time to time...normally one (rarely two) times a year, normally at some party (normally New Year, as last "sin" in the old Year). But I am the exeception. Cigarettes are very addictive (similiar to heroin), and most people are not able to control the consum. I don't understand how people are readily giving up control over her lives. 2. Yes, there are other habits which are really unhealthy. If someone wants to live unhealthy, it is basically their own problem. But cigarettes are not only unhealthy for the smoker, they are unhealthy for everyone around him. 3. I don't understand how people can think that smoking is cool. It stinks (especially cold smoke), it leaves yellow strains on teeth and fingers, it makes premature wrinkles and it kills you sooner or later. I get people who simply enjoy a cigarette, cigar or a pipe from time to time (means: rarely and purely for enjoyment, not to feed the own addiction), but I don'T understand people who think that they should smoke because it is cool. -- Submitted By: (Swanpride) on September 21, 2009, 6:52 am - (0 votes) - Login to Vote
|Excellent points, shaenequia. And, every woman who reads this should also know (in addition to what it does to the lungs,heart,etc), it makes wrinkles come a LOT faster.

"Machu Picchu is a trip to the serenity of the soul, to the eternal fusion with the cosmos; where we feel our fragility. It is one of the greatest marvels of South America. A resting place of butterflies in the epicenter of the great circle of life. One more miracle."
– Pablo Neruda, "The Heights of Machu Picchu"
July 27, 2009
Waking up at 4:30 am is easy with the knowledge that you are about to see a wonder of the world. After breakfast, Claire and I made our way through the dark streets of Aguas Calientes to the line for the buses that would take us up to Machu Picchu. At 5:15 am, the line was already quite long. The palpable excitement in the air intensified as the first buses approached. The line moved quickly until it was our turn to board a bus. As we zig-zagged up the mountain, the rising sun revealed the beauty of the scenery around us. Our wish that the sky would rain itself out before our day at Machu Picchu had come true.
The line to enter Machu Picchu was much longer than the one in Aguas Calientes. Many people wake up even earlier than we did to hike to the entrance to have more of chance to hike up Huayna Picchu. They restrict the amount of people they allow to climb up Huayna Picchu each day so you have to be at the very front of the line if you want to have a chance.
When they finally started letting people through the gates, there was no pushing and shoving, but there was definitely a sense of urgency. We made our way through to one of the postcard image areas and had our first glimpse of Machu Picchu in the early morning light. After vying for a spot to take pictures, we went on to join a group for a two hour tour.
We found the guide who had come to see us the previous night at dinner. He did what I like to call the "Peruvian Pass Off". He told us that he was leading a Spanish-speaking tour and another guy would be leading an English-speaking group. The other guy would be our guide for the morning tour. It wasn't a problem, but I found it strange that he didn't mention it to us the night before.
The chaos of organizing the tour groups makes it really easy for anyone person in the area to tag along. Ours was large and mostly consisted of people who had finished doing a trek. Unlike us, they hadn't had the luxury of showering in a few days. We could definitely tell. Or should I say smell? At our first stop, we watched the "sun rise". By that time, the sun was already up, but hidden behind the mountains that surrounded us.
We missed out on the Machu Picchu experience where it's covered in clouds and suddenly the fog lifts to give you an amazing view. But we could not have asked for a more perfect sky. Last year I visited the temples of Angkor in Cambodia. Even thought it didn't win a spot in the New 7 Wonders, it remains the top wonder for me. There, the details of the ruins themselves are what make it incredible. In Machu Picchu, there is no denying that there is something magical about the ruins, but the setting is really what makes the destination amazing as a whole.
That morning, behind the mountains' sharp peaks was a bright blue canvas for gorgeous brushstrokes of white clouds. The sun slowly rose and illuminated the clouds while temporarily darkening sky and the mountains. In that moment, I felt incredibly alive and incredibly fortunate to be alive.
The peacefulness of the morning did not last long. After our tour really began, we quickly realized that there was one guy in the group who was quite obnoxious. I will call him O.G. (obnoxious guy) for short. He had away of interrupting every quiet moment with his incredibly loud voice. He had an accent that we couldn't quite place. With him were three American guys who I also wasn't too keen on because they seemed oh-so American. I know, I know… I am American as well, but I'm a wanderer and I like to get away from I'm used to. But they seemed nice enough and were pretty apologetic about O.G. One of them said he had been like that through their entire trek. At least we only had to deal with him for two hours rather than a few days.
The tour was interesting as long as I was at the front of the group and engaged. When I was in the back, I tended to become bored if I missed what the guide was talking about. But there were plenty of photo opportunities to keep me busy. I'm never content to have just a few postcard images of a site, I love to find all the different angles and hidden treasures of the places I visit. At Machu Picchu, I was intrigued by the way the buildings clung to the hillsides, the texture of stones, and of course, the gorgeous surroundings.
At one point during the tour, our guide asked us to lower our voices because there was a chinchilla ahead of us. As were silently checking out this half-rabbit, half-rat creature, O.G. burst on to the scene loudly and shouted, "HEY, what are we doing?!" But by that time I was no longer annoyed and found him to be quite entertaining. He was like a character from a movie. But when tour finally ended, I was happy to be done with the group and return to quietly enjoying the ruins. My threshold for dealing with guided tours can be quite low and I'd had more than my fill for the day.
We took off pretty quickly and wandered around for a while. When we were near the exit/entrance, it finally hit us that we were really tired. We took a seat where we had both a nice view of the mountains and the tourists coming in. It was a great spot for people watching. In the late morning, there is a huge rush of people arriving to Machu Picchu. Many of them were what you might refer to as "tacky tourists." People who were dressed as though they were about to go on a safari, women in ridiculous stilettos trying to manuever down the steps, XXL tour groups with matching neon T-shirts, etcetera.
What finally motivated us to remove ourselves from our amusing position was the idea of lunch and using the bathroom. There is only one bathroom at Machu Picchu and it's outside of the entrance. You have to pay each time you use it. Where the money goes, I have no clue. Halfway through the day, the bathrooms were already disgusting and by the time we left, they still hadn't been cleaned.
After an unpleasant but necessary trip to the bathroom, we went to have lunch at the only place that was selling food. There is a little restaurant by the bathroom affiliated with the luxury hotel next to Machu Picchu. The food was fairly tasty, but pricey by Peruvian standards. It's the only option unless you bring your own food in.
After we felt nourished and more alert, we went back into Machu Picchu. We went back to the postcard image spot in the full light of day. We were looking for a nice patch of grass to sit and enjoy the view when we stumbled upon some grazing llamas. Llama sighting eventually become common place when traveling in the Andes, but in that moment, it was a novel experience.
We sat there for quite some time, feeling quite lucky to be able to lounge in a postcard image of a wonder of the world. The afternoon sun rays were incredibly strong and my sunscreen was nowhere to be found. Later, I discovered that I hadn't even brought it with me, I'd left it at home. I took out my umbrella that was originally intended for potential rain and used it to shade myself from the sun. Nevertheless, I ended up with the second sunburn of my life!
We eventually reluctantly removed ourselves from that prime location to head out and catch the bus back to Aguas Calientes. We made sure to get our Machu Picchu passport stamps on the way out. It's kind of silly and wastes a page in your passport, but I was pretty excited to get that stamp.
Back in Aguas Calientes, we tried to fill the time by getting on the internet. Ten minutes later, the internet completely stopped working. We decided to get something to eat. We sat at the top floor of a restaurant over-looking the main square. This was also a great people-watching location as many people gather there while waiting for their trains arrive. A little band was performing in the square as well which was bonus entertainment. We took our time at dinner and then went back the hostel, hoping to relax before our train journey to Cusco.
No such luck. We'd had the wrong train time in mind and the train we were supposed to be on was leaving in a few minutes. We got our bags from storage and rain to the train station. They were pulling away the steps to get on the train and about to shut the doors, just as we got there. The girls sitting in the seats opposite us looked disappointed that someone came to claim those seats. I knew how they felt.
When we arrived at the train station in Poroy, there was an SAS travel van waiting to meet us for the journey back to Cusco. They dropped me off at my hostel first and I said goodbye to Claire. I'd booked the tour before I'd left for Peru so I didn't know what to expect. I was lucky to have such an awesome tour mate. I re-entered the world of Loki and went up to the common room where I found a group of Aussies I'd met my on first night. I'd imagined I would have to start all over again with meeting people so it was nice to see familiar faces. That night I stayed away from the typical Loki happenings. The day had been long and exhausting, but overall, exhilirating. I climbed into my suspringly cozy top bunk and slept soundly and peacefully.

MetaVR Visuals in JTAC Dome Simulators at U.S. Air Combat Command and Air National Guard
The U.S. Air Combat Command (ACC) and Air National Guard (ANG) use MetaVR visuals in training dome simulators for joint fires simulation training.
The simulator, called the Advanced Joint Terminal Attack Controller Training System (AAJTS, or AJTS at non-Air National Guard sites) is a 5-meter, 270 degree FOV training dome system, which uses ten MetaVR visual channels, is similar in appearance to a miniature IMAX theater and fully immerses the JTAC trainee in a 3D real-time virtual battlefield.
The AAJTS/AJTS is designed to support all JTAC and combat controller squadron-level continuation, qualification, and mission rehearsal training. The system is the combined effort of QuantaDyn, USAF Trainer Development Division, Battlespace Simulations (BSI), Immersive Display Solutions (IDSI), and MetaVR.
The system is comprised of, in part, commercial off-the-shelf components: Immersive Display Solutions' immersive domed visual display system; BSI's Modern Air Combat Environment (MACE) computer generated force and semi-automated force application with call-for-fire, 5-line and 9-line interfaces; a simulated rangefinder/designator, and MetaVR's VRSG, geospecific 3D terrain, and model libraries.
European installations of the simulator include the Adazi Military Base, Latvia, HDF 86 Szolnok Helicopter Base in Taborfalva, Hungary -- and most recently -- forthcoming installations at the Slovenian Armed Forces Air Ground Operations School (AGOS) at Cerklje ob Krki Airbase and the Polish Air Force Academy in Deblin, Poland.

As he was packing up the backpack, he handed me my raincoat.
"Aren't you going to put it in the backpack?"
"No room."
"I have to carry it?"
"Yep. I'm carrying mine."
"Well, I'm not going to bring it then. We'll be fine. I mean LOOK at how nice it is outside!"
Then when our train dropped us off, and we were waiting for the bus to take us up to the Jaunpass, I felt totally justified in my no-raincoat decision.

Part II: The Anglo-Celtic Experience, or How We Learned to Run and Hide
A real threat facing us when we consider the Colored World Revolution on the microhistorical level is the impression that, as an American experience, we are unique. To see the Civil Rights Acts, the Immigration Act of 1965, the betrayal of Rhodesia, and the fall of South Africa as separate instances, however, is to miss an overall trend of decay in the Anglo-Celtic world. That said, if we look where Spengler directed us to look for this decay—namely to the Great War—we find a steady process of growing unrest among colonized people in South Africa, India, and elsewhere in the Anglosphere precede the first acts of overt Negro violence not in Europe, but in the United States.
The US Military and the Mau Mau Rebellion: Lessons Learned
As one would expect, the action begins in the military: black soldiers were deployed to a white construction site in Houston, where they proceeded to use their military positions to mimic Reconstruction-era reversals of fortunes among the white population. When a local law regarding gambling was broken at a street-corner craps game, police responded by enforcing the law and the black regiment, hearing that one of their own was in trouble, mutinied and started a riot. The riot left four police officers and nine local Houston residents dead, along with two of the Buffalo soldiers. The NAACP obediently rushed to the defense of the mutineers, of which over fifty were handed sentences ranging from death to life imprisonment. Then, something unexpected happened: under threat of other Buffalo soldiers mutinying during his war, President Wilson commuted ten of the death sentences in a public statement published in the New York Times, to the approving acclaim of the NAACP and the defending attorney Turner Bell, who built his reputation on getting criminals out of Fort Leavenworth early (for which he was duly honored by Alf Landon as governor of Kansas).
The Negro soldiers learned their lesson: in 1942, the 96th Engineer Battalion of brave African-American heroes opened fire with anti-aircraft and machine guns, emptying over 700 rounds intended for armored vehicles into a tent where their White officers were drinking after one of them was told off by an officer who made the mistake of mentioning his victim's skin tone. Other State-side mutinies of triggered PoCs with varying degrees of violence and casualties followed at Dale Mabry Field, Fort Bragg, Camp Robinson, Camp Davis, Camp Lee, Fort Dix, Camp Claiborne and Brookley Air Force Base. The result was the desegregation of the Armed Forces by an uneasy Franklin Roosevelt, sandwiched between his apocalyptic fears (typical of the American elite of his era) of general rising among trained, armed blacks and the incessant shrieking of his Cultural Marxist wife.
Violence wins the day again, then. From there we move out of the military and into the civilian population, as our decorated heroes, like the Tuskegee Airmen, (who we now know more or less single-handedly defeated the Nazis), spread the news of their success in advancing Civil Rights. Meanwhile, at home, Negroes were already testing new boundaries in spite of government intervention on their behalf. From the 1930s forward, massive waves of Negro migrants into Detroit increased tensions as blacks found most of the work they had expected to find was already in the hands of more capable Whites (many of whom were themselves recent immigrants from Eastern Europe). The result was intermittent fights and conflicts between the Whites who were dedicated to improving the whole city and the far more tribalist blacks who segregated themselves.
This situation eventually birthed in the 1943 Detroit Riot, which required the deployment of 6,000 troops to aid the overwhelmed police force. While initial reports described the rioters as "black hoodlums", this was later corrected as the vast majority were found to be educated and often with long-standing employment—the involvement of the NAACP from very early likewise suggests more organization to the event. In Harlem, the same year, an altercation between an unruly Buffalo soldier and a New York City police officer after the officer had attempted to arrest a Black prostitute and the soldier (probably seeking to provide the woman with business) intervened. The officer was obliged to open fire after he was physically attacked, and news that a brave black war hero had been murdered by an evil white cop set off a 600-person hissy fit.
In response to both of these events, government officials met with the NAACP and asked for their demands, which were promptly granted. This policy of concession on the part of frightened elites coupled with the shaming and silencing of Whites faced with threats of death and violence, was seen elsewhere in the Anglosphere as well.
It was Kenya that proved to be the test case for large-scale colored political violence. The Mau Mau Rebellion, starting in 1952, has been presented historically as more or less a civil war that White settlers happened to get caught up in. After all, if your Black servant boy gets beheaded by the rebels after they disembowel your White son, it's the same thing – especially because of how "brutal" British actions during the conflict were. Missing from the established narrative, however, is mention that the British government of Kenya, much to the chagrin of many White Kenyans, actually conceded to all of the Mau Mau's greatest demands—land was redistributed (much from White settlers), the White monopoly on Coffee production was dismantled (ending British control of the economy), and the British government even extended the Mau Mau terrorists a blanket amnesty (which they rejected). With the concession of direct election of Black Kenyans to the devolved parliament, Kenya more or less ceased to be a British colony.
The Mau Mau were formally defeated, and subsequent black-led governments have denied the Mau Mau any ancestral claim on lands because of the number of other African tribes they murdered in cold blood, but the lesson could not have been clearer for other would-be African revolutionaries: kill, or at least threaten to kill, the White man and you'll get what you want. Kenya was one of the more White-friendly African states following its independence in 1960; now, however, as the corrupt government begins to crumble, disgruntled blacks are targeting the very small white population still left in the country.
The Bush War and Civil Rights™: Lessons Applied
The Mau Mau received minimal support from international communists, and in spite of communists present in both Harlem and Detroit, they tended to be isolated as the Soviets played nice with the US in hopes of stealing the Atom bomb. In addition, the cash cow that the Soviet Union was to become to non-White revolutionaries did not yet exist: the Soviet government was still recovering from their "Great Patriotic War", and Khrushchev had other things to worry about in the immediate aftermath of Stalin's death. This changed in the 1960s, after Krushchev's major power-play in Cuba failed miserably. (Is it worth mention that neither Fidel nor Che had anything but disdain for black Cubans or Negroes in general?) America, however, had already begun to make concessions under threat of Black violence, and the British had abandoned Kenya, speeding up the domino-like collapse of their Empire.
The overwhelming majority of the mutinous Negroes mentioned above were of Northern extraction; the (((Narrative))) excuses their violence because of how unacquainted they were with Southern ill-treatment of their Black brothers and sisters, and how ignorant they were of the viciousness of Jim Crow that they had never seen in the North. Of course, it takes very little effort to see the falsehood of this claim: Richard Wright, a Black communist agitator, writes in his book Black Boy about the terrible racism and oppression he experienced in the North, and how his disillusion with the mythical land of free and equal Blacks drove him into communism. Wright, of course, was drummed out of the CPUSA for failing to abide the Narrative they would form on the race question. Nevertheless, the Narrative enabled Northern Negroes, Jewish progressives, and various White fellow-travelers to justify the Second Wave of Reconstruction in the 1960s. Using the lessons they had learned from their uncles and fathers in the US Army, the first tactic of the Negroes was violence.
By 1963, independent Black agitation in the South, generally funded but not generally led by affluent Northerners, had already been going on for half a decade, and it had bequeathed the lesson to King and other ring-leaders that violence was highly effective. For the better portion of the last seven years, it had been the policy of Michael King and his supporters to provoke white police into violence that would encourage Northern middle-class whites to counter-signal and demand government intervention against "brutality" (a tactic that is still employed by Black agitators). The tactic, however, had only carried him so far: it could convince Northern Whites that something had to be done about Southern police, but it could not drive them to turn on and attack Southern Whites as a group, which was his real goal. Desegregation was already underway, but the massive change that would allow the Black man to legally usurp White power in America—the content of the Civil Rights Act of 1964—still eluded him.
After receiving what must have been one of hundreds of death threats, he saw his opportunity in May of 1963 to evoke even greater sympathy. Several bombs detonated in apparent attempts on his life were reported by single, uncorroborated black witnesses to have been placed by local police, purportedly working in conjunction with the Ku Klux Klan (which itself was demoralized and bleeding members at this point as long-standing, respectable Whites abandoned the violent and desperate men who were taking over the organization). King was conveniently absent from both bombings and no one was hurt in either of them – the first of which happened at his brother's house, the second at a hotel room he never made it to because he was staying at a friend's house after a party. King then allowed the rumors and reports of police involvement in the assassination attempt to filter out among the Birmingham blacks, who already had the taste of blood in the water from his declared "great victory" following the Birmingham Truce Agreement.
Also convenient for King was the fact that Kennedy happened to be on vacation at Camp David while all this was happening, guaranteeing that he would not be able to get out ahead of national or international media attention. When he finally did get word, he immediately acted to federalize the Alabama National Guard, stepping over Governor Wallace's authority to deal with the riots at the behest of leftist agitators in the Justice Department. The damage, however, was done, and the tactic had proven effective. Less than a month later, an organized race riot in an affluent black neighborhood of Cambridge, Maryland was launched by Gloria Richardson of the ironically-named Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, dedicated to leftist agitation and the creation of social unrest. The day of the riots, Kennedy made his speech calling for what would become the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The Colored World Revolution was proceeding apace.
Having outlived his usefulness to whatever powers he was beholden, Kennedy was disposed of in November of that year. In December, Rhodesia began to collapse when a combination of incompetence among colonial leadership and gerrymandering by the metropole resulted in Kenneth Kaunda, an erstwhile proselyte of King, becoming Prime Minister of Northern Rhodesia This followed a two-year campaign of arson and road obstruction (sound familiar?) dubbed the Cha-cha-cha Campaign, which was dreamt up while Kaunda was meeting with King in Atlanta in 1960. The Bush War and the British betrayal of Rhodesia was now underway.
The Southern Rhodesians moved swiftly to prevent the same thing happening to them with their declaration of independence; Ian Smith banned the terrorist counterparts to Kaunda's movement in independent Rhodesia, preventing the black nationalists from employing their normal tactics without open conflict. Backed into a corner, the Zimbabwe communists opted for open conflict, which gave rise to the Bush War between 1964-1979. Despite complete lack of training, actual incompetence, and continuous defeat at the hands of Rhodesian forces, the Zimbabwe communists led by future genocidal tyrant Robert Mugabe were handed victory by British interference and pressure from Lord Carrington. The aftermath was a 30-year campaign of government-sponsored violence and disenfranchisement to exterminate the White Rhodesian population. Once again, Black violence effected the desired result among the White elites in the British metropole, even in the face of White Rhodesian resistance.
The Endless March: Days of Rage, Necklacing, and Global Reconstruction
As the Bush War was reaching its zenith, in the United States colored violence was also reaching a fever pitch. Very much like in Rhodesia, black violence was accompanied by White elite appeasement. A series of race riots accompanied a series of explicitly pro-colored legislation, from the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 to the Immigration Act of 1965 to the Fair Housing Act of 1968, and finally the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. (If, by the way, you have any lingering doubts that all this was grounded in White fear of Black violence, recall that there was a rider attached to the Fair Housing Act that made it a felony to "travel in interstate commerce…with the intent to incite, promote, encourage, participate in and carry on a riot".) The rising violence culminated in the "Days of Rage" in 1973, but really from 1969 to 1974 marks a high-water mark of Black political violence in 20th century America.
There are three central elements to the Days of Rage and why black violence was reaching a fever pitch at this point. First of all, the opinion of the global (((Free Press))) was decidedly against the Rhodesians in their struggle for survival; much like it was against US involvement in Vietnam and really any effort on the part of white people or white nations to stop the spread of Communism. Slogans like "bring the war home" and "no Viet Cong ever called me coon" dominated in black activist circles, and promises of direct action were some of the chief recruitment tactics of Malcolm X and Stokey Carmichael, largely on the basis of all the Blacks who had received combat training coming home from the war. Middle Class America, therefore, remained complacent in regards to the Black movement, publicly approving of Civil Rights™ and appeasement, even if they were uncomfortable with the Black Panthers. This only encouraged the Black Panthers and similar groups more: a major complaint was that they were not being taken seriously.
Secondly, direct aid was being given to Black nationalists by (((affluent social activists))) and radical attorneys and lower-tier government officials. For example, after forcibly occupying a detox clinic, a Black-dominated Marxist commune was established using New York City tax dollars; it was called Lincoln Detox, and it was where Tupac Shakur's step-father got his start doing acupuncture, cocaine, and black radicalism. In addition, numerous radical groups like the Black Liberation Army emerged under the direction of Black serial rapists and murderers that had been broken out of prisons by White leftist activists merely on the basis that they were Black, and therefore could train and run guerilla armies. Left-wing racial stereotyping of the Magic Negro and the heroic freedom-fighter of the Third World led them to build, fund, and then use government and social institutions to defend Black radical groups dedicated to political violence.
Finally, tied to the above, the late 1960s and early 1970s were dominated by a culture of pessimism as the Vietnam War continued with no end in sight and the Civil Rights Movement™ began to become more and more openly radical. Economic downturns and the beginning of the Industrial collapse that would force a total reformulation of the American economy in the 1980s was also underway. This was the environment in which the earliest Heavy Metal bands formed, and dark and Satanic themes began to appear in music as a result of the popular culture taking a turn towards pessimism about Western Civilization's ability to sustain itself. In the circles of Colored Revolutionaries, especially Black radicals, however, spirits were never higher. They were absolutely convinced that collapse of the Systems of White Oppression™ was immanent, and they could just move in and sweep up. Radicalization campaigns were stepped up in Black nationalists groups, among Blacks in prisons, and on college campuses to recruit more White kids who were willing to channel their parents' fortunes (and their law degrees) into the service of The Revolution.
The result was the radicalization of groups like the SDS and the formation of Weatherman and later Weather Underground, all discussed at length in this excellent review of Burroughs' book on the subject. The short version is that bombings were the radicals' favorite thing to do, and in order to fund their bombing campaigns they robbed banks, which inevitably got them shot or thrown in jail, which only made the survivors angrier and more radical. Rinse and repeat for urban social unrest that terrifies the country.
The only thing that stopped this was the loss of two driving factors: first, the anti-war movement dried up and all the listless Hippies and rich kid fellow-travelers re-entered decent society because Vietnam ended and, second, Nixon's populist political campaign successfully galvanized the White Middle Class as a voting bloc that defined itself explicitly against radicalism—the "Silent Majority". Riot laws began to be enforced, funding dried up, and the Black radicals were eventually all killed or arrested, usually for non-political violence like robbery, murder, or rape. The legacy, however, of this period of violence was that it worked. Especially after Nixon's fall in 1974, the left in America had achieved everything it had set out to achieve, including delegitimizing their only popular opposition (Goldwater and Nixon), and saw no need to continue using Black radicals toward this end. For Blacks, though, the endgame had not been reached; they had simply lost motivated leadership and available funds. Instead, they entered popular culture (e.g. Tupac Shakur) and began a period of hibernation from which they have recently been awakened by (((very much the same people))) who originally motivated them in the 1960s and 1970s.
Before talking about the latest wave of political violence, though, there is one more success story we must consider, namely Nelson Mandela. When it became clear that America was not ready for the global Colored Revolution that was getting off the group elsewhere, (((influential parties))) turned their attention instead to small and isolated South Africa. There, a Marxist terrorist had been engaged in a brutal campaign of racially-motivated violence with mixed success since shortly after the fall of Rhodesia, and had been part of a violent revolutionary movement since the early 1960s. His campaign, in fact, was so brutal that even the National Review Online, bearers of the Crown of Cuckery themselves, found it permissible to question the great ascended Madiba on the occasion of his Occultation in 2013. Among the most heinous things he and his thuggish followers did was a practice called "necklacing", in which a tire is filled with gasoline and then placed around a victim's neck and set afire.
The South African government obediently asked Mandela and his terrorist band if they would disavow political violence, as it had asked Gandhi to do during his activity there. As usual, the White government fundamentally misunderstood their enemy and took him to be what the (((Official Narrative))) had declared him: a freedom-fighter and "civil rights" activist. He was just a darker-skinned Gandhi to them, and a second chance to prevent the fall of the Empire Gandhi had helped bring about. But this African Mahatma refused the offer; he knew what political violence was achieving in America and what it had achieved in Rhodesia. He knew he had the upper hand over White South Africa, and he was not about to give that up. He persisted, and eventually South Africa was forced to cave into his demands, allowing a man whose motto was "Kill the farmer, kill the Boer" to take over the only White ethnostate ever founded on the African continent. The genocide that followed and continues to this day is familiar to most if not all our readers already.
Global Reconstruction, therefore, continued apace—and continues now. The chimp-out riots and the burning of Black neighborhoods baffle the mainstream White middle class onlooker; "why do they destroy their own neighborhoods?" they ask, ignorant that the King family allowed their own house to be blown up for the furtherance of their cause. Political violence has consistently worked for the Negro throughout the 20th century, and it continues to work today. It has only failed when the White Middle Class has made it impossible for globalist interests to support—it has only failed, in other words, when ordinary, politically uninvolved Whites throw off their racial guilt and stop counter-signaling their defenders. Where the liberalized British metropole betrayed Rhodesia, the elites in America betrayed the South, and the Western world isolated South Africa, Black political violence always worked and always resulted in the same thing: the extermination of whatever portion of the global White minority they could get their hands on. Now is no different: as long as they think violence will work, they will employ it. As long as they think destruction and killing serves their interests, we will continue to see destruction and we will witness more of our own people killed.

Free CPR revision notes
Here's a set of notes written about Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Feel free to test your knowledge of CPR after reading these notes by using one of our free CPR practice tests.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure used throughout the world in cases where the patients' heart stops beating. Even though it has a complex protocol that follows very strict rules, CPR can be performed by literally anyone, whether trained or untrained in first aid.
Before we get into detailing the basic manoeuvres applied in CPR, you should remember that your safety is the first and most important step. Before approaching the victim, you should always remember to check for any immediate dangers that have the potential of turning you from savior to victim.
After checking for dangers, approach the victim and see if he or she is unconscious. If the victim is not responding to any stimuli, call the emergency number in your country immediately. You should always start CPR after you've evaluated the area for dangers and called an emergency team.
Whenever you find yourself in a situation where CPR could be needed just remember that there are only two basic actions: chest compressions and artificial respirations. If you were to choose one of these for different reasons, always choose to perform chest compressions, because offering mechanical support for brain circulation is more effective than providing oxygen without compressions.
In order to correctly perform chest compressions, first you need to position the victim on his or her back, making sure that there's a hard surface underneath. Next, position yourself on any side of the victim, next to the person's chest. Place one hand firmly on the center of the victim's chest and place your other hand on top of the first hand.
In order to perform correct compressions, you need to use the full weight of your upper body, not just the arms. Push straight down on the victim's chest, without bending your elbows, and try to compress the chest at least 5 cm. The compression rate should be 100 – 120 per minute (roughly 1.5 – 2 compressions a second).
Artificial respirations refer to mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-nostrils breaths. While most people wouldn't perform artificial respirations to strangers, it's still a manoeuvre that you need to know. For mouth-to-mouth respirations, pinch the victim's nostrils, tilt his head backwards and breathe twice into his mouth. Each of your expirations should last for 1 second.
If you want to do the complete set of actions, repeat these manoeuvres as follows: 30 compressions, followed by 2 artificial respirations. Once every two minutes check the victim for pulse, and repeat the manoeuvres until medical responders arrive to the scene.
If you don't want to perform artificial respirations, continue with 100 – 120/minute chest compressions and check the victim every two minutes for pulse until medical responders arrive.

"Grace Exhibition Space is the sole gallery in this city that shows specifically, in its most intentionally narrow definition, Performance Art." Patricia Milder, The Brooklyn Rail (May, 2011)
"Through such intimate encounters between performance groups and their guests, they could follow in the spirit of Yoko Ono's Chamber Street loft or the Surrealist soirees of Paris." Warren Fry, The Brooklyn Rail (August, 2007)

Notes: Use canned or thawed frozen corn kernels. If making ahead, store ice cream airtight in the freezer up to 1 week. To serve, soften at 5-second intervals in a microwave oven at full power (100%) before scooping into bowls. Serve with scoops of purchased chocolate sorbet or ice cream (buy 1 qt.), then top with raspberry sauce.
How to Make It
In a blender, purée 1 cup corn and 1/4 cup cream until very smooth.
Rub purée through a fine strainer into a 10- to 12-inch frying pan. Add remaining corn and cream, along with milk and sugar. Stir over high heat until bubbles form at pan rim.
In a small bowl, beat yolks to blend with about 1/2 cup of the hot corn mixture, then pour into the frying pan and stir over low heat until custard coats the back of a metal spoon thickly, about 9 minutes. Add vanilla.
Set the pan in ice water and stir often until mixture is cold, about 15 minutes. Cover and chill at least 3 hours or up to 1 day.
Pour cold mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions or until dasher is hard to turn.
Nutritional analysis per 1/3 cup.

"These are the times that try men's souls." (Thomas Paine)
riots in France have been fomented by policies
which deliberately marginalise disaffected immigrants,
coupled with discrimination and police provocation. People
are quick to blame the faults of the offenders and ignore
the system which created them. The racists soon crawl out of
the woodwork labeling them �scum and leeches� without even
having met or spoken to these youths about their grievances.
Many come from poverty-ridden, war-stricken areas and their
priority upon reaching the West is an education to improve
their future prospects, but it is assumed their highest
aspiration is crack dealing.
If those reeling against neo-despotism were European, they
would be hailed as �anti-globalisation� heroes, but because
they are �non-white� they are portrayed as ungrateful
criminals. This �horde of uninvited and unwelcome
foreigners� would rather stay in their indigenous countries
and communities, but they have been driven from their
homelands by despair. Two hundred years ago the cry from the
colonies was �libert�, egalit�, et fraternit� and it was
brutally stifled, it still is. The simple and incontestable
principles of �The Rights of Man� have been superseded by
arbitrary orders to contain a revolt..
Thomas Paine believed that �the ignorance, neglect, or
contempt of these rights are the sole cause of public
calamities� and nothing has changed. Islamophobia is being
used to goad a reaction to Muslims who once coexisted
peacefully with Hindus, Sikhs, Jews and Christians; now, an
unsubstantiated rumour was all it took to incite a violent
clash between blacks and Asians in Birmingham. In troubled
times, authorities always invent an antagonist to vilify, be
it an individual or entire nation. Multiculturalism was
fostered so that our differences could be the tools with
which social engineers divide and conquer.
It does not auger well for race relations. Bill Bennet
suggested that �you could abort every black baby in this
country, and your crime rate would go down.� This comment
implies that black people are the source of all criminal
activity and their extinction would be the solution. Blacks
should be outraged by this statement as criminality arises
in all sectors of society; but in response, Dr. Kamau Kambon
advocated the �extermination of white people� while speaking
at Howard Law School, and the �White Pride� brigade
instantly rose to this challenge, with a call to arms to
defend their threatened race.
Be careful what you wish for, because race war is what the
Globalists want and the �barbarians at the gate� are from a
generation of child-soldiers who were taught to rape and
slaughter, often their own family members, and war is all
they have ever known. They are battle-hardened resistance
fighters, fearless and with nothing to lose, like the
rebellious Haitians of the 18th Century who declared, �War
for war, crime for crime, atrocity for atrocity� and
defeated the British, French and Spanish forces. However, in
this century we are all in a sinking slave ship together,
regardless of race or religion.
Toussant L'Ouverture
Holding up his musket in defiance, Toussaint L�Ouverture
cried, �Here is your liberty!� And the same is true today,
only, make sure it is aimed correctly, at the oppressor and
not your brother. We should be united in fighting our common
hereditary enemy, the Elitists who have stained the pages of
history with the innocent blood of all peoples. They are not
racist, they hate all �useless eaters� equally, and while we
are preparing to attack our neighbours, they are devising
ways to eliminate two-thirds of the world population. Don�t
do their job for them, or make it easy, by joining their
contentious crusade.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic features in differentiating malignant from benign common bile duct (CBD) strictures using contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). Patients and Methods: An ambispective study from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2010, on fifty patients with liver function tests suggestive of obstructive jaundice and an ultrasound showing biliary obstruction were included. A nonenhanced computed tomography (CT) was done before the administration of the contrast medium and then scans were routinely obtained in four phases: early arterial , late arterial, portal venous, and delayed phases. The CT scans acquired were reviewed on a picture archiving and communication system workstation. CT findings were interpreted with regard to wall thickness, the location, length involved, enhancement pattern, presence of invasion, and margins of the stricture. These were compared with the attenuation of the normal CBD wall, the maximum CBD diameter proximal, and pancreatic duct dilatation. Results: The mean age ± standard deviation of patients was 62.84 ± 11.61 years (range: 38–82 years). Among the fifty patients included in the study, 31 (62%) had malignant CBD stricture. The involved segments of malignant CBD strictures were significantly longer with significantly larger maximum proximal CBD diameter, considerably thicker and irregular stricture wall and showing more enhancement during delayed phase. No significant differences were found between malignant and benign CBD strictures with respect to stricture location. Conclusions: Presence of irregular margins, invasion into neighboring tissues, long-segment involvement, more proximal CBD dilatation, and hyperenhancement in delayed and portal venous phases in contrast-enhanced MDCT helps in the differentiation of malignant from benign CBD strictures.
