This is the catalogue of all I have published, self-published actually, since 2011 in the eBook format. Most of the titles are given with information about their contents and also some excerpts giving the stakes of these books. There is also a lot of poetry and literature, next to fundamental research books. I would advise you to just go from one page to the next and read what looks attractive to you and if you want to get the books you do not need to go to a bookstore or a supermarket where they cannot be found anyway, but just use your computer, smartphone or tablet and get to the closest Kindle shop, store, or boutique where you should find them all. Be careful though, some of the books are enormous, though you will not be able to use them to torture your neighbour. eBooks are weightless.
And best of best, if you like one of these books, you can always write a review on the Amazon site where you found it and share your likes,… or dislikes…, about it with anyone who can read.

It examines Prufrock's character as an insecure, indecisive man who is afraid to express his feelings for women. The analysis highlights Prufrock's constant self-doubt and overthinking that prevents him from taking action and living an unexamined life.
The narrator recounts visiting his lover's grave and experiencing a night of terror in the cemetery. He is unable to find her grave and wanders among the tombs in the dark. He sees one tombstone rise up, revealing a skeleton that scratches out the lies written on its headstone and replaces them with the truth about the man's wicked deeds in life. The narrator then sees that all the dead have risen and rewritten their headstones with the hidden truths about their dishonest and malevolent lives. When he finds his lover's grave, he sees that she went out in the rain to deceive him and caught cold, leading to her death. He loses consciousness and is found at dawn, collapsed on her

This poem discusses the lasting impact of the death of the poet's wife 18 years ago. He is kept awake at night by memories of her, seeing her gentle face looking at him from a picture on the wall. A halo of light surrounds her head. She died in this very room from burns suffered in a fire. Though 18 years have passed, he still wears the "cross" of her death on his breast, unchanged through all the seasons, just as a cross of snow remains unchanged on a mountain in the distant West. The memory and love for his late wife remains as deeply enduring for the poet as that cross of snow on the mountainside.

Here are 3 questions I found most insightful from the selection provided:

2. Poetry allows exploring complex topics from various angles. What would you say is the role and responsibility of poets in society?

Goddess Gone Fishing for a Map of the Universe - ExcerptCadence PR
Sheri-D Wilson's Goddess Gone Fishing for a Map of the Universe transports you into the “now” of metaphysical possibility, to fly between solitude and wild abandon, from Buddha blink to cosmic flare.
At once organic, spiritual and technical, Goddess Gone Fishing for a Map of the Universe uses QR codes to send readers outside the book to new vantage points. Wilson says, “QR codes bridge the gap between pencil and tech where poetry is high paced, high energy and the perspective is technology.” In performance Sheri-D moves outside the book; QR is outside the book. The experience of poetry is lifted off the written page and transported to a totally new platform.
Pervading the book is Wilson’s belief in an upsurge of feminine divine energy that will quell the madness of our times.

Bernard Marr just published Generative AI in Practice (1), which brings together the matter he has been dealing with on his blogs: Artificial Intelligence from the simple practical point of view of a user along with a systematic question about what can the consequences be for the various jobs these users have? But the book is always schematic when it shows the negative consequences will not compare with the positive consequences, though bad or good, they will require a lot of changes in the way we work, the jobs available, and the mindset of the users.
Bernard Marr does not insist so much on the negative sides of GenAI, but he does list them, particularly all sorts of cheating by using GenAI to replace one’s own writing work, all types of misuse of the intellectual property of such mechanical production of text, images, videos or any other copyrightable product that the user presents as his/her own.
But he does not enter the details, and thus he remains superficial. The problems of misinformation, hallucination, and bias are a lot less important, even with deep fakes, though Bernard Marr remains superficial on such dangers. He considers these GenAI products more like patentable or trademark problems, which they are but that’s the only side or point of view of the businesses using this technology.
At the present moment, lawsuits are emerging on the Intellectual Property front with people getting ready to go to court for unauthorized use of protected data and items within LLMs, or the use of voices, slightly synthesized (hence plagiarism and plain theft) as commercial products sold with an unshared profit. I will concentrate, in the second part, on chapter 10 on education to enter some details I know from the practice of self-learning at many levels of the educational system. (2)
Les Arts en Balade in Clermont-Ferrand this month of May 2024 were a success because they expanded to two cities outside Clermont conurbation, Thiers and Vic-Le-Comte, there were many people everywhere, there were 240+ artists or groups in about the same number of places: public spaces dedicated for such events, supportive professional institutions like the Order of Lawyers and the Order of Architects, many stores of all sorts opening their businesses to one or two artists, and also many apartments in the city transformed into workshops where artists could present their work. They were also a success because they lasted four days and were just as dense on Friday, May 17 as on the three following days up to Monday, May 20. Note the case of Michelin who opened their conference rooms and galleries in their Headquarters to three artists with a very good service guiding the visitors and making feel, equally at ease, the audience and the works of art, even from some green challenge declared to be ecological. Thank God we are not in the Orsay Museum of Le Louvre
This complete covering of the event I was able to work on, plus some suggestions for further development and opening to other arts than only plastic arts inside exhibition rooms or halls and on portable media. The opinions and tips are just mine of course, not those of an Artificial Intelligence requested to caress the wild artistic animals of this event smoothly and avoid ruffling their hairs. I apologize if some find it slightly rough at times. Arts are often harsh, and thus critics have to be harsh too. To critically cover an art exhibition is a love affair, and as they say in French, we could pretend that good lovers are also good at chastising those they love.
Les Arts en Balade à Clermont-Ferrand ce mois de mai 2024 ont été un succès car ils se sont étendus à deux villes hors agglomération clermontoise, Thiers et Vic-Le-Comte, il y avait beaucoup de monde partout, il y avait plus de 240 artistes ou groupes dans environ le même nombre de lieux : des espaces publics dédiés à de tels événements, des institutions professionnelles exprimant ainsi leur soutien comme l'Ordre des Avocats et l'Ordre des Architectes, de nombreux magasins en tout genre ouvrant leurs commerces à un ou deux artistes, mais aussi de nombreux appartements en ville transformés en ateliers. où les artistes pouvaient présenter leur travail. Ils furent également une réussite car ils durèrent quatre jours et furent tout aussi denses le vendredi 17 mai que les trois jours suivants jusqu'au lundi 20 mai. A noter le cas de Michelin qui a ouvert ses salles de conférence et d’exposition à son siège social à trois artistes avec un très bon service guidant les visiteurs et faisant sentir, également à l'aise, le public et les œuvres d'art, même de quelque défi vert déclaré écologique. Dieu merci, nous ne sommes pas au Musée d'Orsay ou du Louvre

I will concentrate, in the second part, on chapter 10 on education to enter some details I know from the practice of self-learning at many levels of the educational system. (2)
Les Arts en Balade in Clermont-Ferrand this month of May 2024 were a success because they expanded to two cities outside Clermont conurbation, Thiers and Vic-Le-Comte, there were many people everywhere, there were 240+ artists or groups in about the same number of places: public spaces dedicated for such events, supportive professional institutions like the Order of Lawyers and the Order of Architects, many stores of all sorts opening their businesses to one or two artists, and also many apartments in the city transformed into workshops where artists could present their work. They were also a success because they lasted four days and were just as dense on Friday, May 17 as on the three following days up to Monday, May 20. Note the case of Michelin who opened their conference rooms and galleries in their Headquarters to three artists with a very good service guiding the visitors and making feel, equally at ease, the audience and the works of art, even from some green challenge declared to be ecological. Thank God we are not in the Orsay Museum of Le Louvre
This complete covering of the event I was able to work on, plus some suggestions for further development and opening to other arts than only plastic arts inside exhibition rooms or halls and on portable media. The opinions and tips are just mine of course, not those of an Artificial Intelligence requested to caress the wild artistic animals of this event smoothly and avoid ruffling their hairs. I apologize if some find it slightly rough at times. Arts are often harsh, and thus critics have to be harsh too. To critically cover an art exhibition is a love affair, and as they say in French, we could pretend that good lovers are also good at chastising those they love.
Les Arts en Balade à Clermont-Ferrand ce mois de mai 2024 ont été un succès car ils se sont étendus à deux villes hors agglomération clermontoise, Thiers et Vic-Le-Comte, il y avait beaucoup de monde partout, il y avait plus de 240 artistes ou groupes dans environ le même nombre de lieux : des espaces publics dédiés à de tels événements, des institutions professionnelles exprimant ainsi leur soutien comme l'Ordre des Avocats et l'Ordre des Architectes, de nombreux magasins en tout genre ouvrant leurs commerces à un ou deux artistes, mais aussi de nombreux appartements en ville transformés en ateliers. où les artistes pouvaient présenter leur travail. Ils furent également une réussite car ils durèrent quatre jours et furent tout aussi denses le vendredi 17 mai que les trois jours suivants jusqu'au lundi 20 mai. A noter le cas de Michelin qui a ouvert ses salles de conférence et d’exposition à son siège social à trois artistes avec un très bon service guidant les visiteurs et faisant sentir, également à l'aise, le public et les œuvres d'art, même de quelque défi vert déclaré écologique. Dieu merci, nous ne sommes pas au Musée d'Orsay ou du Louvre
Ce reportage complet de l'événement sur lequel j'ai pu travailler, ainsi que ...
A novel of political fiction that does not reach science-fiction but wants to tell us a lot about the modern world and what the choices are for us in this decaying future. The pattern, the Gestalt of this book seems to be that no matter what humans try to do, good or bad, progressive or reactionary, democratic or dictatorial, there is no hope and no future for those initiatives. Any attempt at changing the decaying world we live in is doomed to be a failure.
What is history? The production of what happens in our world, in fact, in the cosmos, and no human individual, no human crowd, no human anything can control or change the course of such events. If by any chance we want to understand what makes history, we have to consider billions, maybe trillions of parameters in the cosmos and we, the human dwarves we are, do not even control half a dozen of them and our vanity makes us believe we can command the cosmos because we want to be gods. In the old days and in other civilizations than the Western denied Bible, they were humble enough to give this power to a God that was not of the human species.
Here Salman Rushdie follows a witch bewitched by a goddess who pretends she can create a whole empire from a bag, or rather a sack of seeds, and this leads to a total and pitiful defeat and absolute termination of the attempt, but it means Salman Rushdie is predicting that all the positive elements his witch tries, religious tolerance, education for boys and girls equally, women’s rights, gender-friendly policies, peace and coexistence, and finally freedom of expression are all doomed to fail and crumble as soon as they reach some height. In other words, his novel and his vision are the rewriting of the Babel Tower myth.
Sorry boys and girls, no future for any progressive dream, just as much as for any regressive nightmare. Life and history are neither a dream nor a nightmare. They are nothing but cosmic determinism governed by the cosmos itself, and we can be happy with the fact our world is not in a black hole. But after all, maybe that’s the destiny and fate of humanity, to end up in a bottomless black hole.
This series is very well done, suspenseful, at least as much as possible, twisted and distorted like any crime series should be but unluckily it is biased. It states to anyone who wants to listen that crime has roots in only one thing: family dysfunctioning and nothing else. The fact that society leads some people who do not fit in the standard mold to rebellion, frustration and violence by being biased against them and bullying them all the time and if they want to have contacts with people, they have to go down on their knees and beg for a favor.
That’s too bad because the cases in this rural north Wales area deserve a lot better, and probably, a more open vision of crime in this community.
LA CHAISE-DIEU MÉDIÉVALE & LA RÉVOLUTION BÉNÉDICTINE--MEDIEVAL LA CHAISE-DIEU...Editions La Dondaine
On July 13, 2024, at La Chaise-Dieu, the European Network of Casadean Sites will present a public conference on the topic of the Benedictine Revolution in Livradois-Forez, led by the La Chaise-Dieu Abbaye, starting a bit earlier with the religious reform brought up by Charlemagne in the 9th century. The Abbaye was founded less than 200 years later. The conference will focus the discussion – and it has to be a discussion – on the consequences of the Carolingian religious reform, the agricultural revolution with the invention of the horse collar and the management of the land, the rotation of crops, cultivation, and fertilization. Then the proto-industrial revolution that will bring five types of watermills for grain, oil, tan, hemp (fiber and cloth), and slightly later paper. This will make Livradois-Forez an essential region producing hemp cables and hemp cloth for ships. The first result was 75 days without any work in the year, no work before and after morning and evening angelus, and a pause with midday angelus. The second result was better food and demographical expansion, up to the end of the 13th century.
Then things became darker. Overpopulation brought unrest and all sorts of contests and conflicts at the religious level itself (Crusades in the Middle East, but also against the Cathars in France. Then in 1346, the Black Death, a pandemic in Europe of the bubonic plague, caused a tremendous level of deaths. Then, the One Hundred Years War started in 1337. The resilience of the population enabled Europe in general to go through, and around 1450 the printing press was developed by Gutenberg enabling the printing of books for the highly-needed university training of great numbers of people to bring Europe back on its feet. The Renaissance was the result of this period, a tremendously positive and creative period, and at the same time, a highly-disturbed era with The Reformation, and the religious wars that concerned all countries at a time when nationalism was emerging.
Two speakers-debaters will present the five or six centuries concerned as fast as possible to let the audience debate questions like:
1- The influence and impact of Charlemagne’s religious reform.
2- The feudal system: land ownership and serfdom.
3- The role of technology to produce energy, replace human work, and develop new products.
4- Religious tensions with Avignon and Rome conformist Popes.
5- The role of The Inquisition and religious justice.
6- The fate of the cable industry when Omerin In Ambert is number one in Europe or the world for various high-security and high-technicity cables.
7- The culture: architecture, music, painting, carving, theater, oratorio and opera, literature.
It will take place at LA CHAISE-DIEU – AUDITORIUM GEORGES CZIFFRA
SAMEDI 13 JUILLET 2024 – 14-17 HEURES 30.
The two main speakers so far are Dr Jacques COULARDEAU (Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne) and PhD Graduate Student Clément GOMY (Université Clermont Auvergne
Xavier Rouard searches and researches the linguistic world, scientific research of course, for the origin, the cradle, the homeland, or the motherland, of Indo-European. He is not the only one in the world, but he goes against practically all the others by positioning this linguistic nursery in Central Asia based on a Eurasian or trans-Eurasian language or languages. But precisely Eurasian languages only came into existence from the moment when syntactic-analytic Indo-Iranian languages left the Iranian plateau where they had stationed themselves when they arrived from Black Africa, some 40,000 years ago, or BCE, not much difference here. They had to go through the Ice Age first and finally get on the move after this climate event probably around 15,000 BCE, some east to the southern Asian continent, with Pakistan and India, others west down into Mesopotamia and from there to Europe. These people, on both side, encountered people who spoke other languages, Turkic agglutinative languages, and isolating Sino-Tibetan languages, mostly. These languages had integrated the Denisovans and their own language(s). Thes encountered people were hybrid Homo Sapiens with a varying proportion of Denisovan DNA in Central Asia, and the same in Mesopotamia with a varying proportion od Neanderthalensis DNA. When they reached Europe, the population was essentially of Turkic language and origin with a varying level of hybridization with European Homo Neanderthalensis. It is such encounters that generated or engendered the various Indo-European or Indo-Aryan languages
My approach is phylogenetic and thus it is absolutely impossible for me not to take into consideration the migrations and geographic, hence social, cultural and linguistic movements of these populations. That’s the basic principle of Joseph Greenberg who considered that all these migrations had only one matrix or melting pot that produced the emergence of human articulated language on the basis of what these emerging Homo Sapiens inherited from the other Hominins from which they were descending.
But Joseph Greenberg and his disciples encountered a problem: in all language you should find a certain number of words whose “roots” are universal and stable in meaning. These are the roots coming from Black Africa before any migration out of Black Africa. The problem is then that it does not enable any topology of languages. So, they, Greenberg and his disciples, tried to introduce “grammatical” or “syntactic” words, but even so it does go that far.
To get somewhere you have to ask the question about the phylogeny of articulated language(s), and there you only find three articulations in a precise order: root-languages (by the way vastly ignored by Xavier Rouard), Isolating character languages, and agglutinative as well as synthetic-analytic languages according to the migrations out of Black Africa. If you do not consider this phylogeny, then you put all sorts of languages together in the melting pot [...}
Three crime series in one entry.
First, The Brokenwood Mysteries; seasons 1 to 3.
Second, The Coroner, Complete Series.
Third, The Unforgotten, Series 1 to 4, Complete Series.
Police series, detective stories, criminal mysteries, and many other options in the field of crime and delinquency have been explored by the English from the first moment they started existing, a very long time ago.
Shakespeare and he was not the first author in the field, loved those stories of crimes and criminals, having people assassinated, or mutilated, or tortured on the stage from Titus Andronicus to Romeo and Juliet.
Dickens was a good one too in that field, but Shakespeare looked at crime from the outside, from some ethical point of view. Dickens looked at it from inside, from the point of view of the criminals themselves forced to commit crimes in order to simply survive.
Then you had Mary Shelley and her Frankenstein and then later on Dracula came into the picture, and many others trill we came across Conan Doyle who edicted the proper form of a crime story or detective story, hence an investigation of a crime we can only see from outside, and the investigation is to get into it to see how it got developed and who was the criminal.
Since then, with the radio at first, the cinema next, and finally television leading directly to streaming and the Internet, those police adventures have just become adventures, and the extreme form is what they call action films where violence is no longer criminal since it has been transformed into the ultimate survival if not the final renascence before the apocalypse.
Enjoy these series.
The Mayas are more a cultural and historical mystery than a vast field of knowledge. We know less than we can even imagine about them. Where did they come from? What language did they speak before coming to Mesoamerica? What were their beliefs before arriving in Yucatan? They brought with them cacao, chocolate, writing, mathematics, extremely advanced calendars, phenomenal knowledge about stars, planets and the cosmos. They even brought with them a vigesimal counting system with the mathematics going along with it, including the equivalent of our zero (that we borrowed from the Arabs in the 17th century) that enabled them to count up to the infinite.
The most remarkable achievement is that they managed to merge phenomenal art with the glyphic writing system of theirs. We know the glyphs were works of art, for one, and a syllabary phonetic writing system, for two. For a very long time the second aspect was rejected, particularly by Sir Eric Thompson. Luckily this untruth was rejected after his death, with a little bit of disregard before his death. The glyphs were not flat symbolic of items and purely artistic, like some kind of secondary if not superfluous decoration. The colonizing Spaniards considered that decoration as diabolical and they burned and destroyed all the books and artifacts that carried such artistic representations of Maya reality and such glyphs that could only be the language of the devil.
Imagine how surprised I was when I discovered this catalogue of an exhibition at the MET Museum of Art in New York. They provide some images of the glyphs, and even some sentences written with them. But they systematically ignore the glyphs, transliterate the sentences and words into Latin-transliterated Maya, and simply work and speculate on these transliterations and their translations into English. They lose all the richness of meaning and beauty of the glyphs. In other words, they terminate, bring to a final end the destructive work of the Spaniards, the culturicide of the Mayas and the Maya culture and civilization.

The 3 Literacies of Modern Age, the Trikirion of CommunicationEditions La Dondaine
Review of the Trikirion of Communication:
Symboleracy, Numeracy and Techneracy
The starting point is the phylogeny of communication because the educational topic I am going to address cannot even exist if there is no communication. We have to understand that all Hominins were communicating. Probably all Hominins after Homo Erectus included had some command of some articulated language, but only Homo Sapiens reached the comprehensive and sustainable command of the fully-articulated language, probably around 200,000 BCE.
The next great stage Is the development of representational and symbolic Inscriptions and paintings or engravings on all durable media available, rockface in caves, stone, bone, ivory, and tusks. This symbolic transcription of stories and experience, maybe some spiritual language accompanying some rituals, is the first form of writing seen as symbolic transcription and going back to 300,000 BCE with Homo Naledi, 100,000 BCE with Homo Neanderthalensis, and 50,000 with Homo Sapiens.
Syllabic and alphabetical writing only came around 3,500 BCE for Homo Sapiens. There might have been older cases, but archaeology has not yet covered the whole world for all types of symbolic inscriptions that could have led to symbolic phonetic writing. The next stage was the printing press which enabled mass education and mass communication.
ENTRE IA & LES ÉCRANS LE THÉÄTRE EST EN QUESTION
The Journal “Théâtres du Monde” has just published its 34th issue. I have two articles published in that journal. So here is first of all the table of contents of the 2024 issue, and I added to these three pages all the preparatory work I have done to write the two articles that deal with the series HUNTERS and the author Lorraine HANSBERRY. These reviews and critiques are all bilingual, English for some and French for the others.
I do feel like a raisin the sun. I also added some documents on the recent question brought up about race in the USA where some states are restricting the teaching of slavery and Black history in the USA because it may, might, would, and I think SHOULD traumatize the poor white darlings who really need some traumatization about their imperialistic ideological terrorism.
Four films or series.
1- John Woo’s Silent Night (2023),
2- Doug Liman’s Road House (2024),
3- Albert Hughes’s The Continental (2023),
4- Marcela Saïd and Julien Despaux’s Ourika (2024),
all seen on Amazon’s Prime Video, hence distributed by Amazon Prime Video, all dealing with violence in our societies and all claiming that violence is justified top answer and respond to a violent society, a violence coming from outside our community, and that outside can introduce anti-immigrant accusations or plainly racist claims, both anti-white and anti-any-ethnicity.
Does it help us understand this violence ? Does these films enable us to devise a proper response to prevent and solve such violence? Both times, a resounding NO. But in both cases, it plays in the hands of the most extreme forces on the nationalist side of life, the side that refuses to consider those who are not pure according to their definitions as the cause of all our problems, and not only those people but also all products that may come from the countries concerned by these ethnic groups. This is true in the USA, in Canada, with Mexico playing the wide-open gate to the previous two, and all over Europe.
What game are these streaming services playing? Preparing coming elections! But it might go the wrong way for them. Now what is the wrong way? Good question. No answer because the ballot boxes will be the only valid answer. First stop, the European Elections in June 2024.
Mo Xiang’s third volume of the saga on The Blessing of a Heaven Official is there in front of me and this saga is emanating with so much force that no one can resist the tanha that tells them “Go For It! There is pleasure in it all!” I am sure you want to discover the pleasure there is in these volumes, but remember the authoress is a woman and as such she develops a sweet, soft, and catching psychology that will turn you completely berserk if you do not keep your feet well anchored in the earth.
The King Ghost Hua Cheng from Ghost City is behind every move the ascended Xie Lian is inspiring or is inspired by and for. His meeting this Xie Lian after 800 years of supernatural and surreal life in our vast cosmos was so mind-stirring, intelligence-moving, and body-inspiring that the pure ascetic Buddhist he is supposed to be, nearly fell into the cauldron of eroticism. He managed not to fall, but that was very close this time since he was unconscious and Hua Cheng took advantage of the situation and pretended that he had to save his “friend” before he drowned, though Hua Cheng knew perfectly well Xie Lian could not drown, hence cannot die. But, well, Hua Cheng kissed Xie Lian unconscious as he was, I mean in his unconscious mind, because Xie Lian was unconscious, and thus he could kiss him since he could not protest. What a twisted and I guess tortured mind he is. He should try Buddhist meditation to hypnotize himself into plain decent abstinence.
But sure enough, the encounter with the Venerable of Empty Words promises to be a fair adventure in which Xie Lian’s mind and body will be chastised, abused, and even probably raped. There will be quite a lot of repair work to do on the psyche and the conscious rightfulness of our Xie Lian. I guess Hua Cheng will take advantage of such situations to steal a couple more kisses. Never trust a ghost because they have no soul anymore and they have no honor either. So, lying, pretending, and even impersonating what they are not to seduce their gullible victims is some kind of sport for these fuzzy beings, if they can really BE.
Oppenheimer is an essential character in US history. He is the left-leaning Jew who provided the USA with the Atom Bomb that enabled the US to defeat Japan faster than the planned standard land and air attack by the Soviets and the Chinese Communists, officially endorsed in the Yalta Conference ( 4–11 February 1945) by Churchill, Truman, and Stalin. Truman did not have the atomic bomb yet and will only have it in July 1945. So, he bluffed and agreed with the Soviet plan because he had no alternative … yet. He reneged his agreement in July-August 1945, and he dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945. The victory over Germany was a joint effort. The victory over Japan was a self-centered and egotistic solitary procedure not even negotiated with the allies of the US. The United Kingdom might have been informed, maybe. But the USSR was not. The Americans were already and had been for nearly two centuries, on the “America First” and “Make America Great Forever” lines that we have known all along and directly since 1918.
And within 9 years Oppenheimer will be ostracized because he was leaning to the left and there were Communists around him. He submitted and disappeared in some sideline university job. He had nowhere to go, as opposed to Charlie Chaplin who went back to England. As a Jew, he could have gone to Israel, but that was not a real optimistic solution at the time. He might even have gone to the USSR with his communist wife. But he stayed put in the USA, in his closet-university-job. The film does not really explore this dilemma: hide away in the USA, go to the Jewish Israel, or go to the USSR. On one hand, it was his old depressive nature that came back. On the other hand, it would have been going back to his faith and his roots, even if it could have looked like treason. On the third hand, on yet another other hand, it would have been plain treason.
THE DESCENT TO HELL IN THREE STAGES – 2003-2015-2019
I brought together three films and series presented here both in English and French in anti-chronological order.
1- The film 7500, 2019.
2- The series Blindspot, 2015-2020.
3- The film The Dreamers, 2003
If you take them in this backward order, you may understand that today’s world is not at all different from the one in 1968 when the Vietnam War was going on full blast, the Chinese Cultural Revolution was in full swing and the West per se was living its first full sexual revolution with the arrival of the baby-boomers to the full unquenchable desire to hormonally and fully enjoy life. Have some interesting reading.
FIRST STAGE – AMAZON STUDIOS – 7500 – 2019
There is little to say about such a film. It is just artificial entertainment that shows nothing and proves nothing. It is all stressing detail to keep the audience glued to the screen.
SECOND STAGE – BLINDSPOT – FULL SERIES – FIVE SEASONS – 2015-2020
A very long series for very little apart from stressed and stressful situations that always end well anyway, meaning leading to a worse situation in the next episode.
THIRD STAGE – BERNARDO BERTOLUCCI – THE DREAMERS – 2003
Paris Spring 1968. We all know what happened then in France. The victory of the unions, the defeat of the left, and the impossibility for the left to understand that any “events” of that sort will always lead to the victory of the right in the next elections, and today we have to update the data and say the victory of the extreme right. It might be slightly more complex, but basically, that’s what it is and when the left wins this social-minded left will become conservative within at the most two years and it might even turn reactionary within these two years, at times even less. They like power so much.
Amazon Prime Video and Blumhouse Productions love dysfunctioning mothers who, in the name of their love for their children, are ready to kill anyone only on their gut feelings that this anyone is guilty of who knows what apart from the devil.
The film is tricky enough to lure and fool the audience, and the horror of the racist and dysfunctional situation can be believed till the end when the trick is revealed. Note this revelation implies that all daughters from divorced or motherless families are by definition, even by principle, liars.
You might also find the father falling in an ice-cold river under a blizzard of some sort funny, and with his winter coat on, and then he goes on parading around outside, in the unheated car, and even in some kind of social situation without changing his freezing clothes. Like at the Oscars yesterday the costume design Oscar was delivered to a costume designer wearing no clothes at all, except a small cardboard sign where sexually necessary for the picture, meaning that costume designers are so badly treated and paid that they cannot even afford to buy underwear.
A little bit more about the context, schools, religion, Islam and girls, divorced parents, single Muslim male parent, etc. would have maybe given some depth to the story and made it less artificial.
A film that wants to be science-fiction. So, learn the lessons that emerge from it.
1- Let black doctors or scientists get into a hospital “laboratory” and the most unimaginable horrors will take place.
2- Let black people be fully treated in a hospital and they will become guinea pigs, especially in the hands of black doctors.
3- Let a mother treat her son and the worst possible crime will take place under your own nose and in front of your own eyes.
4- Shall I go on?
If this is not pure racism laced with some sexism, I just wonder what would qualify. How can anyone imagine such man-made scientific schizophrenia to be possible in the hands and under the scalpel of a doctor, a scientist? I guess it is urgent to have clear regulations and controls on such activities. Because be sure that wild clandestine medical experiments are happening every day in the world.
Duration is all that plants and animals experience. They last as long as either possible or necessary. When the phylogenic target of bringing in the next generation of life is fulfilled, the plant or the animal can die or wither away. Homo Sapiens, and probably most Hominins developed from experience the need to measure this duration, at first in days and nights, and then in clusters of days and nights. Then they can coordinate their observations and notice some cosmic items go through regular existential cycles, first of all, the sun rising or lowering in the sky with shortening or lengthening days and nights. Second, the moon and its phases are numbered as two, four, or three, but systematically waxing and waning. You can easily measure all that in solar days and that is the beginning of time: a human invention quantifying the duration of anything in observable regular elements.
From what we know the Mayas were among the most advanced people for such time-quantification and they developed all sorts of calendars to do this. But they were neither the first one nor the last one. They were not the best either, though they were very good. I will even say that all the lines of dots or check marks or squares or other geometric forms we can find in all the caves in the world in which Hominins and Homo Sapiens lived and that they decorated in many ways are the quantification of various phenomena, though we don’t always know which ones.
This book by Hunbatz Men concentrates on Mayan calendars but in modern language and modern terms, not necessarily in the real Mayan terms at the time, up to 3,000 years ago. It assumes the Mayas were aware of the leap years, though we do not seem to have any real reason to believe so. The author does not work on any serious lunar hypothesis, maybe a calendar. It vaguely mentions but does not explore the Venus cycles as Morning Star and as Evening Star. To work on the Pleiades, why not, yet one question does not concern such a long cycle but the simple working of the ritualistic 260-day Tzolk’in Calendar that is out of sync with the solar calendar, the 365-day Haab Calendar, and even more so if we consider the 360-day Haab Calendar, and how the ritual activities dictated by the Tzolk’in Calendar can be prescribed and predicted and performed when their Tzolk’in dates can fall at any time, in any season in the Haab Calendar. It is hard enough to coordinate the 12-and-a-half moon cycles over a solar calendar, but many civilizations are dealing with it and managing it with cyclical corrections.
That’s why it would have been good to give us some elements on this very same problem with the Tzolk’in calendar when we can compare with the difficult adaptation of the Muslim Lunar ritualistic calendar to the Gregorian calendar. The floating Ramadan is the result of this necessary adaptation. In other words, the present book is slightly short.
To bring together South Africa in the days of apartheid and from the point of view of the white Afrikaners with the tremendous career of Queen with Freddie Mercury and after his death without him shows how ahead of their times this band was when they started as a boys’ band and then when they matured into a full-fledged career.
Apartheid and racism bring segregation and discrimination which systematically reject differences. No future for those who do not have the skin color, the religion, the language, the sexuality, the musical affiliation, even as a simple audience, as the dominant, selected, elected, chosen entity that only has god and science over their heads. And their God has chosen these people to be his chosen people, and these people chosen by God believe what God has explained to them that science justifies their elected-ness, selected-ness or chosen-ness. They are the acme of the creation, and all others are just plain rejects that no one has the heart to destroy.
But be sure God will do it some day. Which god since there are many if not even plenty? Who cares. Each God will recognize his own supporters when they are all dead.
But then you may have no supporters at all, dear God or Gods. It does not really matter. We don’t need these supporters to eat, drink and survive. We have all we need in heaven and the sky. In fact, it was a mistake of ours to have created humanity. The planet would be so much better with none of the human parasites.
Meet the Madman Prophet, who is most the time mixed up with the other God Profit who is universal and derails every so many years, not so many as you may think every ten years or so. But with this God there is always a small population that manages to store away what they need to take over when the crisis has come to an end and the dead victims have been buried or cremated.
An interesting experiment to bring a poetry workshop in a prison For us who have lived in the mythology of Johnny Cash and San Quentin, and all his songs and work about and in prisons there is nothing strange about that But what happens afterward? The inmates get some satisfaction in their work, writing poetry and singing, slam or whatever it may be, but what’s next after their prison term? No reason to reject the experiment but a follow-up action is necessary to know what these men – and it is only men – have become or will become when they get out of the railings, out of the cage. We are not all Johnny Cash, are we?
Since this operation was sponsored by Alliance Française, it would nice to know what kind of follow-up work this Alliance Française is going to perform. The responsibility cannot be the poet’s. But it is interesting to be confirmed one more time that there are many ways for prison inmates to reform. One element is not taken into account. 98% of the population is Sunni Muslims. What is the impact on such an experiment? What does Islam bring to the experiment that would otherwise not be there. Étienne Russias should try to show us this dimension, since, as far as I know, he is a standard young man educated in the Christian traditions, maybe not the religion, but the traditions definitely like being christened, being buried religiously, being married religiously. How did he deal with a 98 percent Muslim group? How many Muslims were taking part, among the inmates and among the workshop workers?
But that’s the beginning of the intelligent globalization we need, a globalization that is founded on differences and not some westernized homogenization.
(No French Translation) The Incas partly inherited and partly developed phenomenal agriculture in the very hard conditions of the Andes: desertic areas, difficult water resources, high altitude, no real draft animal, no wheel, and yet the Andes before and under the Incas produced miraculous results that the Spaniards destroyed in a few years with epidemics and mass killing.
It is easy to say the Incas were barbarians and that covers the genocide, the culturicide, the systematic uprooting and exposing of anything they could have believed or done, based on NO direct contact with them before the “conquest” that must have killed 50% of the population in two or three years with smallpox and other infantile and childhood diseases, plus a few sword killings when there was some resistance.
Unluckily, Gordon McEwan does not really come to a clear vision in his book because he only bases his work on what has been collected by others essentially on the only source of some Spanish colonizers trying to justify the massacre and apocalyptic colonization. The real barbarians were the colonizers, and it is their testimony that is nearly only taken into account. Archaeology is about one century behind what it is in other regions of the world.
Things have slightly changed over the last ten years, but we are still a long way behind what we should have done. That leaves the door open to some like Hunbatz Men pretending the Mayas, Incas and many other Indigenous Native Americans are the descendants of the humanoid people who were established in two continents that have disappeared without leaving any trace of their existence behind them, Mu and Atlantis. And then it is easy to bring in that the inhabitants of these two disappeared continents were extra-humans from some distant civilization who landed on earth and prospered and then found some humanoid animals there and civilized them. We are their descendants, I mean of these extra-humanly civilized humanoid animals from long ago.
Maybe we could simply ask some questions about the origins of the Incas, the Mayas, and many other native American peoples of South and Meso-America. We know the Native Americans of North America and Canada up to Greenland came from Siberia. But that solution is not, feasible for the Native Americans of South and Meso-America. But we are so mentally colonized by North American Protestant Puritans who believe they are the center of the world that research about South America and Mesoamerica has scandalously been neglected. Some mental colonization of this type is also a genocide since it excludes millions of people from what these North American WASPs call the “human race” which is of course white, etc.
Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

La Parole de Saint Chrosome
[Explicit]
Jacques Coulardeau
SUMMER TRAVELLING
The train was running along its tracks
It could not believe what it was seeing
The blue sky of the summer full of stars
In the middle of the afternoon Hooray
You must be drunk
Choo choo train
You must be sick
Right through your brain
The car was just rolling on its wheels
Unconscious of the asphalt of the road
And when it opened its tired eyes
They blinked like dubious unbelievers
You must be whoozy
Bumpy bump car
You must be crazy
Right through all your scars
The plane was nicely gliding up in the sky
Light elegant like an albatros
A flash of light blinded his pilots
And it fell down like a dead cormorant
You must be lost now
Wings cockpit black boxes
Unpregnant with your passengers
Scattered on the sea bottom rocks
The ferry diligently rushed across
The Channel right through to Dover
The men aboard gambled and drank
Unconscious of the oncoming storm
You must be silly
Dear old ferry boat
Rocking rolling twisting
In the waves the ocean’s coat
But be sure I in my garden
Contemplate this heroic comedy
All of them rushing away
From their home sweet home
I must be getting old
Who doesn’t want any more
To travel far and wide
To some foreign folklore
And I rock my head in the sun
I roll my eyes in the shade
I twist my fingers on my coffee mug
Longing for the forbidden sugar
I am sure you may think
I am just fantasizing
Why then switch on the TV
And just start listening
Eleven dead bodies every day
On the roads, on the roads
And how many heavy tons
Of Carbon dioxide
Now I know you believe
My sanity is at stake
Why think of the dead
My heart’s still awake

Right at the Bottom of the Urn [Kindle
Edition]
Jacques COULARDEAU (Author),
Annunzio COULARDEAU (Illustrator)
The score is full of notes, filled with notes, notes and
bars that have no shape at first, except going up and down,
at times clustered in bunches here and there. The composer
looks at his score, perfectly and neatly printed in world-class
toner on the paper. And he has the sudden envy – and he
has that sudden envy every single time he comes to the end
of a composition – to be able to take it and shake it and
rearrange it all haphazardly, maybe one day even empty it
into the kitchen drain or flush all those notes down the toilet
in the bathroom. Good riddance.
To Ivan Eve,
at a time when the sky was all smiles
From his Lord Wotton
at a time when he fell for Dorian Gray
the toy of the Lord Shiva of all Perdition
preparing for the shiva’h of his youth
lost in the seven veils of his maturity

PARIS MY DISAMOUR
FARE THEE WELL SOUVENIR
Paris t’es fini
Et dir’ que t’étais
Mon dernier amour
Paris forever
Buried gone
Forever smashed
Mathieu came first
The son of a Commie
Vain in his suburb
Sure in his future
Provocative proud
Love for him was
Whisky Vodka Cognac
Wine Beer laced with Hashish
And girls on top
When he was drunk
Paris t’es fini
Et dir’ que t’étais
Mon dernier amour
Paris forever
Buried gone
Forever smashed
Then came Tiphaine
Delicate dainty
Mummy a doctor
Daddy an engineer
She liked kissing
Long long endlessly long
She loved nudity
She enjoyed perversity
I was her desert bowl
For ice cream and yogurt
Paris t’es fini
Et dir’ que t’étais
Mon dernier amour
Paris forever
Buried gone
6. 6
Forever smashed
I moved to Sofiane
An Arab a Moslem
No alcohol no sex
Just love in the eyes
Love in the words of the mouth
Love in the fear
The desire the awe
Of loving and being loved
Don’t touch don’t hug
Uncorporeal love
Paris t’es fini
Et dir’ que t’étais
Mon dernier amour
Paris forever
Buried gone
Forever smashed
I wanted something
Carnal and bloody
Muriel was the trip
She loves with her teeth
With her nails she streaks
My back with scratches
Deep, red, oozing
Blood exquisite pain
Orgasm tons of cum
Gooey pussy juice
All over my prick
Paris t’es fini
Et dir’ que t’étais
Mon dernier amour
Paris forever
Buried gone
Forever smashed
It took me at least
Two weeks to survive
I looked for Ivan
The terrible shy skater
His eyes disrobe you
His voice skins your mind
But no sex please
We are Slavonic
The lull of a lullaby
The charm of hypnosis
Paris t’es fini
Et dir’ que t’étais
Mon dernier amour
Paris forever
Buried gone
Forever smashed
I needed exoticism
So I went to Faïda
Black, plump, thrilling
Direct to the point
And the point is my prick
Direct to the point
And the point is to cum
There is no secrecy
It is right away out public
I enjoy being a toy
Paris t’es fini
Et dir’ que t’étais
Mon dernier amour
Paris forever
Buried gone
Forever smashed
But Sometimes I like
Privacy and shadow
I had an affair with
The ghostlike Evelyne
For the world she is a virgin
For everyone she is a prude
For everybody she is modest
But for me she is flesh
She likes flesh and sweat
She can cum hours on end
Paris t’es fini
Et dir’ que t’étais
Mon dernier amour
Paris forever
Buried gone
Forever smashed
Then I was exhausted
I could not bone any more
For days I needed a rest
I needed a friend
One that does not jump
And rapes others instantly
One I could love
With my heart my soul
One that could love with his heart
And that one was Arthur
Paris t’es fini
Et dir’ que t’étais
Mon dernier amour
Paris forever
Buried gone
Forever smashed

RUNNING AFTER MATHIAS
MATHIAS, THE DOPPELGANGER
The street is long
Mind you all the lights
The cars the zebra crossings
Bicycles pedestrians
Never can I see it all alone
You must think of tomorrow
I won’t be with you all the time
Says Mathias in my mind
I reach the tower block
I climb to my seventh floor
I hate urnal coffin lifts
I prefer stairs and steps
Their obscene graffiti
You should think of tomorrow
I don’t intend to always be there
Says Mathias in my brain
I unlock open my door
I get into my office
I turn on all the machines
Coffee machine first of all
And I sit contemplative
You have to think of tomorrow
I intend not to be here all the time
Says Mathias in my skull
OK Mathias doppelganger
What’s on tomorrow?
My agenda says nada
So what do you have in mind?
In my mind, mind you?
I have nothing in mind Matthew
Remember the mind is only you
Tomorrow I go on a vacation
You go on a vacation Mathias
You desert mind, brain and skull
you abandon me all alone
You maroon me in the rolling sea
Of this here bare barren crowd
Like it or not dear Matthew
There are laws in this country
Including for friends of the mind
You, my mindful friend, Mathias
You who will dispose of me tomorrow
Dump me in a loony bin of trash
Strand me to drown in populace
To Choke on a mouthful of people
Oh yes, my very dear friend Matthew
I will go for two weeks
You can start mourning today
I love that, you my friend
I lodge you in my mind
You haunt my brain day and night
You feed on all my thoughts
And I must do shivah’ in my skulls

THE INDIAN OCEAN THE MARE
NOSTRUM OF HUMANITY
Dr Jacques COULARDEAU
& Ivan EVE (Authors)
A MENTAL JOURNEY
Dr Jacques Coulardeau was in Sri
Lanka in 2005 and he brought back from there
a tremendous treasure chest full of poetry,
meditation, philosophy.
Ivan Eve came back to France in 2009
after twelve years in Vietnam and Laos with an
advanced Asian reserve and education. He
met Dr Jacques Coulardeau in the Paris
Sorbonne and since then has been working
with him as his assistant.
This volume brings together several
studies and documents, most of them
unpublished before on the general geo-political
question of the restructuring of the Indian
Ocean as the center of global maritime
commerce.
At first we go back to its central position
as soon as Homo Sapiens emerges from Africa some 150,000 years ago.
Then we look at the history of Sri Lanka from the arrival of Homo Sapiens, then Buddhism,
then the Chinese and later on the European colonial powers, to the central position it is taking in
maritime commerce thanks to Chinese investment and the developing of the port of Hambantota and
a few others after the end of the LTTE terrorist period.
We then stop on the Buddhist influence in Sri lanka as it appears in the Sigiri Graffiti in, Sigiriya
from the 9th to the 12th centuries, plus a selection of these Sigiri Graffiti in an original English
translation;
And finally we move to the development of Container maritime Commerce in the Indian Ocean
at the Global level today
And we can then come to the concluding hypothesis that the world is being restructured
globally and by reconstructing the dominance of the Indian Ocean the way it was up to the 15th
century though in our modern context.

L’APOCALYPSE SELON SAINT JEAN
Jacques Coulardeau
UNE VASTE HISTOIRE PERSONNELLE
Il y a des années que je lis cette Apocalypse
en anglais, en français, en vieil anglais même, et
dans quelques autres langues. C’est pour moi le texte
le plus mystérieux qui soit car il raconte une histoire
très ancienne en l’habillant des couleurs de la
prédiction.
Je vis dans le dragon autant que dans la bête.
Je frémis avec les quatre chevaux et leurs cavaliers.
Je tremble avec Babylone, cette pute céleste et
divine, peut-être pas du dieu des Juifs ou des Chrétiens, mais d’un dieu quelque part dans une quelconque
galaxie. Je halète au sort de la femme enceinte qui porte son destin, et le texte dit le nôtre aussi, entre ses
mains, façon de parler.
J’ai demandé à bien des compositeurs de
mettre cet oratorio en musique, mais ce fut toujours
une œuvre trop importante. J’ai essayé avec Annunzio
Coulardeau une production en direct, en live et en
plain air à Olliergues, lui, assurant la sonorisation et
une composition de musique concrète et électronique
plus ou moins improvisée. La première moitié
seulement a été produite dans ces conditions.
Certains tremblent à la religion, d’autre à la
longueur, d’autres encore tremblent devant la palette
de voix à réunir, produite, construire, gérer. Et que dire
de la musique !
Kévin Thorez s’y est mis lentement et il aura
fallu trois ans pour réussir l’enregistrement, la
composition et le montage. Vous me direz si le texte
en vaut la peine, et vous rechercherez
l’enregistrement pour me dire ensuite si la musique
emporte bien l’aventure vers une fin qui, loin d’être
salvatrice, est en fait des plus dramatique, tragique,
car on vous raconte ici la fin de l’humanité matérielle
et sa simple survie virtuelle.
Mais est-ce aussi simple ? Rien n’est jamais
aussi simple qu’on le voudrait…

HANDEL'S AGRIPPINA MODERN
INTERPRETATIONS AND THE ROLE OF
COUNTERTENORS [Format Kindle]
Jacques COULARDEAU (Auteur),
Ivan EVE (Auteur),
Annunzio COULARDEAU (Illustrations)
Handel's Agrippina was composed for the
Carnival of Venice in 1709. It counts three male voices
in the countertenor pitch and range in those days most
often held by castratos. Centering on Jean-Claude
Malgoire's 2004 production first to come out on DVD,
comparing it with two other productions on DVD that
came out in the following years, but also with the recent
production of Handel's Faramondo, we study the four
different dramatic values of countertenors in Handel's
operas. This leads us to an in-depth study of the re-
emergence of countertenors after at least two centuries
of quasi-silence. Is it a transient fad, a freaky sham or a
long-running phenomenon? We will meet with two
opposed opinions: Russell Oberlin's in 2004 and Laura
E. DeMarco's in 2002. I will more or less follow Russell
Oberlin who considers they allow the production of
Handel's operas and oratorios that had disappeared for
two hundred and fifty years. Why can we witness now
this epiphanic resurrection? We are far from having all
the answers to that simple question.

The US Supreme Court,
A Universal Lesson in Constitutional
Rights
Jacques Coulardeau & Ivan Eve
This essay studies the Case of California's
Proposition 8 from its adoption by the voters in
November 2008 to the most recent US Supreme Court
ruling on June 26, 2013. This essay is essentially
centered on the legal and constitutional side of the
case and the arguments dealing with Amendment 14
to the US Supreme Court, Article III of teh US
Constitution, and the concepts of due process of law,
equal protection of the laws, strict scrutiny, standing,
all concepts that should be universal in all legal and
judiciary systems in the world. The case then provides
the world with a full demonstration of these judicial
human rights that in fact should define the concept of
Habeas Corpus.
This case deals with same-sex marriage in
California. The US Supreme Court refused to rule on
the constitutionality of Proposition 8. They vacated and
remanded the Federal Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit's
ruling on the case because the people speaking for
the State of California did not have the necessary
standing. That ruling indirectly affirms the ruling of the
Federal District Court that had declared Proposition 8
unconstitutional. Though it does not create a legal void
in California, this ruling encourages the
ProtectMarriage organization to start a new round of legal proceedings in the California Supreme Court.
This long essay would not have been possible if the first and shorter version had not been encouraged
by one of its first readers as follows:
“I think your argumentation and logic is good. You shouldn’t be entering the rest of the
discussion, maybe you can quote all the experts or send back to what was said in a footnote, but it is
not your point. You are following the logic of the legal and constitutional system: Amendment 14, the
Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court. What will happen, we can’t be sure, but you can project yourself
in the future, and you are already doing it, by saying that the Supreme Court, despite taking a lot of time
(which can also be to get the “temperature,” the mood of the country within the next few months), is
very unlikely to commit itself with such an important issue. And your logic shows just that . . .
So, in short, your approach is the most valuable as the case starts in California (and its norms)
and shifts to the federal level (multiple norms): they all thrive under the US Constitution and Amendment
14.”

SIGIRI GRAFFITI
PRICELESS SPIRITUAL HERITAGE
FROM YESTERDAY’S HUMANITY
TO THE HUMANITY OF
TOMORROW
Diyakapilla, October 5, 2005
Olliergues, December 27-31, 2005
After Sri Lanka's King Kasyapa’s fall in 495
CE, Sigiriya goes back to being religious probably
with pilgrimages. Many visitors are proved and
documented. Inside the Mirror Wall covered with a
special lustrous plaster, all along the gallery under
the frescoes, between the 9th and the 13th
centuries, essentially between the 9th and 11th
centuries, visitors inscribed small poems in
traditional form composed of two or four lines in full
agreement with contemporary poetics. Note this
confirms a high educational level among the
visitors. These small poems known as the Sigiri
Graffiti are most of the time signed and we thus can
know the names and social positions of their
authors. There are about 1,200 poems of which about 900 have been published: 685 by Dr S.
Paranavitana in 1956 and 150 in 1990 and 1994 by Benille Priyanka who is working on the remaining
300 or so. In the following selection I used the year of publication, 56, 90 and 94, and the number in
these publications to identify them.
This is a translation in English and in French of a selection of Sigiri Graffiti.

ILYA AND VANYA
TWO LOVE BIRDS . . . OF A
FEATHER
Jacques Coulardeau
This story has to be dedicated to time and life.
It is the result of meeting many people in the avenues
of big Paris, gay as is well-known, and gay it is, indeed.
The songs were written to the music Kévin
Thorez had previously composed. All the songs are
from 2011-2012.
The dramatic story of Ilya and Vanya was
written in 2013, integrating the lyrics of the songs as
part of the story. It is a full homage to a young man
who does not like his name to be quoted or uttered.
Anonymous he will stay, just the way he likes it, and
he likes many things.
The two characters carry endearing
shortenings of Russian names. The names are
masculine and the two shortenings are built on a
feminine ending. I was attracted by this ambiguity for
our birds of a feather.
Just as I was attracted by the morbid merging
love of Dracula and Mina. Love is, in a way, losing
yourself in the other while the other loses himself or
herself in you. Losing and loosening themselves into
each other.
That’s the miracle of love and it has little to do
with orientation, though we always have to consider
the end from the very beginning and just as much as
love is suffering, the end of love is exquisitely painful. Dukkha!
The story in a shortened version to hold within 80 minutes will come out soon at Zimbalam and most
platforms under the title Synchrosome II Ilya and Vanya., with the voices of Kévin Thorez, Nad.X.Ka and Jacques
Coulardeau.

SYNCHROSOME II – ILYA &
VANYA
Jacques COULARDEAU – Kévin
THOREZ – NADXKA
Notre musique vise au dépaysement sonore, à
la recherche d’un univers où instruments, langue
et chant se conjuguent en un tout surprenant et
même parfois bouleversant. Nous cherchons à
capturer et reproduire des émotions par la
musique et les sonorités parfois rauques de la
langue anglaise.
Pour ces albums, nous abordons des
thèmes qui se veulent articulés autour de l’Amour,
sa puissance, profondeur et légèreté quand il
apparaît, s’éteint ou se brise pour mieux
renaître… dans la pureté ou noirceur du cœur
menant à la folie, la passion ou l’illumination, mais
dans des histoires actuelles ou imagées
parsemées de métaphores & de surprises qui font
de ces albums une aventure…
Ces thèmes sont d’autant plus
développés qu’un récit ou dialogue entre Ilya et
Vanya prend corps liant les chansons et révélant
deux êtres se torturant par et pour leur propre
amour dans l’album Synchrosome II, Ilya and
Vanya .
Les visuels sont des peintures de ma cousine, Caroline Guille, tableaux visibles pour certains,
sur son site : caro-paint.com .

LA CHAISE DIEU - 3015
UNE VISITE INTERSIDÉRANTE
Loukardill débarque du satellite Europa de
Jupiter dans son Vaisseau Spatial Individuel
(VSI) à La Chaise Dieu en 3015 pour l'ouverture
du Festival. Il découvre l'Abbatiale et ses secrets
ou ses charmes parfois cachés, et surtout une
musique "sucrée" comme on dit sur Jupiter (en
fait "sweet" car on parle anglais partout dans le
cosmos sauf en France), qui serait en langue
française standard de la musique sacrée.
Et il prend un sacré pied - de nez bien sûr
- à utiliser ses pouvoirs cosmiques pour ajouter
un peu de piment et de piquant dans le concert.
Il en invente alors le concept de Maladie
Spirituellement Transmissible appelé à avoir une
longue carrière universelle dans l'univers des
millénaires à venir. Il est sûr que l'introduction de
Rap dans l'Abbatiale entre deux morceaux
baroques a pu semblé un peu rococo aux
esthètes patentés de la presse bien en vue - mais
bien mal en vie - de Paris. Inutile de dire que
Loukardill est reparti ce soit là plein de souvenirs
fantasques.
Il nous a laissé à rêver de ce que ce
Festival pourrait être s'il était interrompu de façon
intermittente par des artistes alternatifs
intermittents pour des divertissements anachronistiques (en anglais dans le texte) intermittents.
Certains diraient bien des choses, mais Loukardill n'en pense pas moins.

WHAT’VE YOU DONE, HARRY? QU’AS-
TU FAIT, HARRY ?
A BILINGUAL EDITION IN OUR
FOUNDING PAST
José VALVERDE, translation Jacques
COULARDEAU
I DEDICATE THIS WORK TO DONALD
TRUMP. Listen to his inaugural speech
(see below)
And just think of the past the Donald seems to
have forgotten.
« Arrogant, nationalistic, locked up on
and in himself, promising a new industrial era
that cannot come for technological reasons.
"Only America first" becomes a
protectionist promise to Americans and a
nationalist menace to the rest of the world.
“Bring back” is the main word, but it will
be essentially infrastructural work because
roads cannot be built in China.
And eradicating Islamic terrorism from
the face of the world is a dream that cannot be
achieved by the USA only, and the Bible is not
an authority in politics. »
(https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2017/jan/20/donald-trump-inauguration-
speech-full-video)
Dr. Jacques COULARDEAU
Even when fully written a play is still and always remains a project. Only its performance after
working with the actors during the rehearsals brings out the proper music with its tempos and its colors,
because for me theater is first of all a musical genre, a concerto whose instruments, the actors, are not
defined beforehand. This assertion might surprise those who will note the play is very realistically
inspired by unluckily real events. And nothing is final? Actors change but audiences do too, and the
weather outside as seen in our inner time. A play only exists during the short length of time of the
21. 21
performance. Only those who would try to produce this “dramatic project”, the director and the actors
could give a temporarily more final version of it with or without my active support. Another version exists
in French with four extra characters, historical characters who are here referred to without being present
(Please ask for it if interested).
The play takes place in the Oval Office at the White House, Washington, on August 6, 1945,
that is on the day of the dropping of the first atom bomb on Japan. The names and official functions of
the main characters are real but their declarations are entirely fictitious as imagined by the author,
though quite believable. Major Patricia Hinsmith is entirely fictional.
La pièce se déroule dans le salon ovale de la Maison Blanche à Washington le 6 Août 1945,
c'est-à-dire le jour du lancement de la première bombe atomique sur le Japon. Elle commence au
moment de l’envol du B29 depuis l’ile américaine de Tinian avec la bombe dans sa soute. Les noms
et les fonctions officielles des principaux personnages sont authentiques mais leurs paroles sont de la
pure imagination de l’auteur tout en étant vraisemblables. Le Major HINSMITH est imaginaire. Les
évènements et les discussions qui ont eu lieu à la Maison Blanche sont à peu près connus mais ils se
sont déroulés pendant au moins une semaine. J’ai souhaité contracté le temps, le lieu et l’action. De
manière à donner aux évènements relatés authentiques la dimension d’une tragédie classique qui
implique unité de lieu, unité de temps, unité d’action. Il s’agit de théâtre !

SHADOW IN THE NIGHT
SIGIRIYA’S SHINY LADIES
Jacques COULARDEAU, French &
English translations
This edition of the Sigiri Graffiti set up in a
dramatic form about the fate of King Kasyapa is
dedicated to those who made my encounter with
them and the Asparas on the Rock face possible.
First Sujeewa who welcomed me on the
Centre of Eco-cultural Studies’ base in
Diyakapilla in July 2005.
http://www.cessrilanka.com/
Second Sudarshani who lived at the top
of a tree and always made fun of my love for
elephants.
Third the monks of the Pidurangala
Monastery where I had the opportunity to climb
to the top of their rock and spend a full night with
the reclining Buddha next to the plaque of thanks
of the monks to King Kasyapa who gave them
this rock in exchange for the Sigiriya Rock.
That was a good time of discovery and
meditation that meant a lot of interesting
cogitation and mental improvement.
I kind of found some epiphany after five
years of extreme vagrancy and ten more years of primeval misunderstanding.
The Dhammapada and Pali were my healing potions and my visionary organic rational
hallucinogens that had been elaborated by twenty five centuries of absolutely sober wisdom.
No one needs soma, chrism, ayahuaska or tobacco to go up to the sky of luminous
imagination and the heaven of human wisdom.

LOONY-LU & LULU
THE BELOVED SACRIFICED TO
AND BY THE BELOVED
A MYSTICAL PARODY
Jacques COULARDEAU
This is the love story of two people who
cross all limits of moderation or even intensity to
reach beyond into the land where suffering
becomes pleasurable, where dependence
becomes bliss because submission is real
happiness. They get and find their inspiration in
real life for sure but also in their culture deeply
animated by all kinds of blood sacrifices from
Jesus to the Incas, from Isaac to the Mayas.
These two, a man and a woman, do not
believe one moment they are perverse or
abnormal. They are just doing to each other and
to some other more or less, often less, consenting
actors what they see going on in all war zones.
For them life is a war and living is survival, a
constant battle against forces that want their
doom, their end, their death.
For them, both of them who are both
dominant and submissive, master and slave or
mistress and slave, suffering is an offering to the person you love, to the person who loves you. It is
an honor just like it was for Jesus to die for his father and for the sacrificed young men to die for their
Sun god, the sun god of the Mayas or the Aztecs.
Enter that deep jungle of sorrowful pleasure and blissful pain.

AN UNTELLABLE STORY
A dramatic Confession
THE NINETEEN STATIONS OF
SARAPHIC LOVE
James Crittle, a famous pilot of the French
Air Force, later turned university professor, on
February 18, 2015, was found dead in full
uniform Rue Montmartre in Paris. He had used
some cyanide to put an end to his life. The
French Air Force took over his funeral in
Bordeaux, but Joseph and Magdalena Seth, two
young people who had been his friends up to
three years before when James Crittle stepped
out of their life without any explanation, hearing
the news on the radio decided to claim his body
since he had no known direct relatives.
They are entrusted then with an important
envelope addressed to them and that contains
the manuscript of this “Untellable Story” and my
name and contact. I had been James Crittle’s
friend some fifty years earlier when I was going to
the university and met him then. He had
obviously kept track of me over these years.
I here try to give you his confession, since
he calls it a confession, about his first twenty
years in this life and I just try to put, as far as I can, this text into perspective with an introduction.
Joseph and Magdalena Seth added a short conclusion. Most of the pictures and illustrations were in
the initial envelope. We decided to use them, with some prudence though because some of the
people on these pictures are totally unknown to us and they were not identified.
We also retained some documents from East Germany and the USA and his military papers,
considering they had nothing to do with this “Untellable Story.”

EXCERPTS
26. 26
For William there has always been a financial struggle to produce a finished product- 'It has been a
passion and not a job.'
He continues, 'You are probably aware that Percutio is not funded nor supported in any way by
any national institution. It is registered as a periodical in France, and for the moment we have simply
continued with that, editing, crediting , and giving writer bios in French...Significant French influence
on NZ culture has gone largely undocumented...Percutio also published writing by German writers,
and really, there is no editorial swing one way or the other. We also had articles on Sri Lanka and
travel writing...'
Even gaining distribution channels for the annual issue, has always been difficult, 'Until last
year it was distributed in New Zealand by the time-honoured means of passing around contributor
copies or copies purchased online. In France, however, people have been more supportive, with
some support from individuals.' Reiterates William, ' It has never managed to recoup all the costs
involved, but it is not a money-exercise. It is something I felt I had the qualifications to do, as an
English graduate and experienced editor; I was in the ideal position to realise the project (travelling
fairly often and meeting unpublished, often neglected, and marvellous, writers and artists). With a
poetry magazine, someone has to foot the bill, but I have been pleasantly surprised each year by
material assistance from unexpected quarters.'
Direen continues in this surprised mode, 'This year, Atuanui Press/Titus Books in Auckland
(chief practical collaborator and serious business partner for Percutio) have undertaken to present it
to bookshops the length of NZ, and this has meant that it is, for the first time, being offered to people
outside the circles of the contributors. i.e. the "book-buying public" (which is, of course, is its own
information system with it own standards and industry ethics). I'm very happy about this.'
He has quite definite views (about many things, actually) but most especially regarding poetry
within his home country of Aotearoa-New Zealand, 'Published Novazelandian/Aotearoan poetry I
have had the pleasure to read seems to me to have been strongly influenced by contemporaneous
economic philosophies. I do think that more than ever NZ poets need affordable access to literature,
and they have to be able to read it in places where they can think about the content. So printed books
(or, eventually, fully evolved electronic books) should be available for sale or sharing, and libraries
need to acquire works that may seem to defy market-driven logic. This is very important for poets in
the most isolated country in the world. Literature frees the mind. The lack of it may stultify and turn us
into economic slaves.' And to conclude, Direen states, 'What would I like to see? More of the good,
and less of the terrible...Percutio does carry a lot of daring work, but , as mentioned, isn't that
what poetry is? Isn't that what literature should be...too much poetry, particularly on the web, is
really a nice layout on the page for ideas that might be better expressed in prose, and especially in
journalism. In fact, for the most part, it IS prose.'
27. 27
I conclude this summary of this interesting poetry publication with work from Direen, himself
also a well-known musician, including being in The Bilders with Brett Cross. It is an extract from a
longer poem called 'Centre'. It is a reminiscence of Wellington, when Direen attended a course in
Electronic Music run by Douglas Lilburn.
But recall light things
... Lilburn in The Glen ... cicadas,
His studio an analog of the Garden.
I saw him listening and heard
Welcoming and thereafter
Waves noise sense-syllabics inflected by natural context,
Death, sun and leaf, growth and predation,
And such desperate clausal anomalies as our verbal selves
Our adventurous ones self-imperilled
Purchasing disturbances
Of optic and audio messaging paths.

THE INDIAN OCEAN FROM
ADMIRAL ZHENG HE
TO HUB AND SPOKE
CONTAINER MARITIME
COMMERCE
Dr Jacques COULARDEAU
& Ivan Eve
Our final and main objective is to consider the
emergence of the Indian Ocean as the center of
21st century maritime container commerce with
Sri Lanka as the hub and Africa becoming an
essential vector.
We will concentrate on the modern period, the
macro-geographic data and situations in and
around the Indian Ocean and on one particular
aspect: the development of the hub-and-spoke
model for the network of maritime connections in, around and beyond the Indian Ocean as for
container commerce.
We will insist on the hub itself, Sri Lanka, which is presently changing rapidly; on some of the
various harbors around the Indian Ocean and their goods transportation inland networks, essentially
railroads and highways; the projects in that field, particularly the New Silk Road of the Chinese; the
bottlenecks of the Suez Canal and the Straight of Malacca; and the dead end of the Persian Gulf,
except as the starting point of a hinterland network that will develop when the wars and insecurity
there are stabilized.
We will envisage the various routes beyond and the final destinations. We will only mention the
railroad connection between Asia and Europe using the trans-Siberian railroad and beyond to
Hamburg and Madrid as a competing alternative. We will also eventually show how backward in that
field of container maritime commerce the USA are, backward as compared to the world and absent
from the Indian Ocean and the China Seas as an actor in that container maritime commerce.
We will then move to the various organizations that have direct interests in the development of
this hub and spoke network of maritime connections and routes in the Indian Ocean. But this will lead
to the security problem to manage the movements of the ships (to avoid flags of convenience) and
the various trafficking activities that are to be contained (human trafficking; smuggling weapons,
military equipment and various goods; and criminal activities of any other type) with the challenge of
who can do it and how. We will then see clearly the stake attached to the re-emergence of human
trafficking and slavery in this vast area.
This security problem is central due to piracy and trafficking. Digitalized satellite surveillance will
have to be set up for the whole Indian Ocean. What role will the USA and Europe play now the New
Silk Road with the Silk Railway from China to Germany reached Spain on December 9, 2014, and the
29. 29
maritime Silk Road has reached Western Europe for some time already? The Chinese are taking
contacts in Afghanistan to open, after the departure of the Americans, the link between Kazakhstan
and Gwadar harbor, Pakistan. China Harbor Engineering Company Ltd and other Chinese
companies are involved in harbor equipment and railroad development all around the Indian Ocean.
Our general hypothesis is that the present evolution is the refoundation of what existed up to 1433
and the Indian Ocean is becoming again the center of the world’s maritime commerce, under the
strong pioneering leadership of the Chinese so far

A Review by Șerban V.C. Enache2
This book tackles the New Silk Road from a number of
different perspectives, historical, social, economic, and from the
standpoint of geopolitics. The reader is given a background
regarding the Old Silk Road – its human cost and the socio-
economic implications in the present, typified by what is called
Post-Traumatic Slavery Disorder and Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome.

Romania.

We learn about the 13 centuries of slave trading done by the Muslim powers, and of the Trans-
Atlantic slave trade, which lasted 300 years, but produced approximately the same number of
casualties. We learn about slavery in India and about the slave-trade in the Indian Ocean. That it had
existed since probably the emergence of agriculture, something like 12,000 years ago. Slavery existed
in America before the arrival of Europeans. And the book concludes that slavery was and still is a global
or universal phenomenon. Religious motivations for slavery are also highlighted, alongside the changes
in thought and values, from Judaism to Islam, and of course, Christianity.
It’s always a pleasure to read an objective take, no matter how brief, on slavery. Because
there are myths flowing around out there, which claim that slavery and the slave trade are purely an
invention of “the white man”. And these two evils are not only an invention of secular institutions and
practices, but they are also enshrined in mythology, dogma, religion. To sum it up in a humorous
expression, treat thy neighbor as thyself if he’s not a foreigner or a heathen. But if he is, then kill the
bastard or take him in thralldom.
I wholeheartedly agree on how the authors tackle the issues of Post-Traumatic Slavery
Disorder and Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome. They insist on a process of proper information and
open dialog. And they emphasize the requirement of meritocracy. If we are to have true equality and
meritocracy, then the rise and fall of individuals within the hierarchical system of any civilized society
must occur based on their own merits, not based on favor or prejudice. Any system or policy that’s
designed to ignore a merit-based argument in favor of a non-merit-based argument can only be of a
discriminatory nature. One cannot be granted favor without someone else receiving an injury as a
consequence. One is either an egalitarian, or one’s not. One either believes people should be judged
based on their own merits, or one believes that they should be judged based on favor or prejudice.
Like the authors, I count myself among the former.
There is also a worrisome phenomenon occurring, particularly in the USA, in which unpopular
speech is being censored, not only by right wing reactionaries, but by left wing progressives as well.
The latter are called mockingly as “regressive leftists” or “the regressive left”. I will quote the Thomas
Jefferson Center on this issue.3
An epidemic of anti-speech activity swept across the campuses of American colleges
and universities in 2015 and shows little sign of abating in 2016. Not long ago, these same
institutions were at the vanguard of First Amendment issues; students demanded—then made
powerful use of—expanded speech rights on campus, and administrators held academic
freedom sacrosanct. These positions reflected a shared understanding that intellectual inquiry
requires an environment in which debate is uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, even if it
occasionally results in unpleasant or offensive exchanges.
Today, however, the focus seems to be on limiting rather than promoting the open
exchange of ideas. Students who once protested to have their voices heard now seek to
silence those they disagree with or find threatening. Meanwhile, university administrators
appear locked in a competition to determine which school will take the toughest stand against
offensive, unpopular, and hurtful speech. First Amendment principles have given way to
identity politics, trigger warnings, and so-called “safe spaces,” and the Free Speech Movement
has, at many colleges, become the Anti-Speech Movement.
Since 1992, the Thomas Jefferson Center has awarded Jefferson Muzzles to those
individuals and institutions responsible for the more egregious or ridiculous affronts to free
speech during the preceding year. Our usual practice has been to select eight to twelve
recipients each year, reflecting the unfortunate reality that threats to free expression regularly
occur at all levels of government. This year, however, we were compelled to take a different
approach.
Never in our 25 years of awarding the Jefferson Muzzles have we observed such an
alarming concentration of anti-speech activity as we saw last year on college campuses across
3 http://jeffersonmuzzles.org/complete-list/
32. 32
the country. We are therefore awarding Jefferson Muzzles to the 50 colleges and universities
discussed [...] both as an admonishment for the acts already done and a reminder that it is not
too late to change course.
Afterwards, the book presents the Old Silk Road
proper, the ancient network of trade routes that were
central to economic and cultural interactions among
different regions of Asia, connecting the West and East
from China to the Mediterranean Sea. The religious
implications associated with the various countries and
trade interests are also approached (Buddhism,
Hinduism, and Islam).
We learn from that ancient epoch and we’re
moved to the 15th century, to Admiral Zheng He, his great fleet of merchant ships – and the reader
learns of his visits to foreign lands. Most notably, his repeated journeys into India, Africa, and Arabia.
Past that point, the book moves the reader into the present and reveals great information
regarding planned investments in new port infrastructure and upgrades, new trade routes, cross-judicial
and economic cooperation between countries for safety and development. Figures regarding freight
capacity and throughput are given for some key trade nodes in China, Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong,
Dubai, and South Korea.
The authors make important observations, especially regarding China. This nation isn’t placing
its eggs in the same basket. The Chinese are preparing different scenarios. China is open to the Indian
Ocean. In maritime trade, it’s investing in the port of Colombo and in Hambantota. It is developing the
hub-and-spoke model; but China is also developing alternatives to it. To reach America, the railroad
option via the Behring Strait. To reach Europe, via the Arctic approach and westward along its ancient
route – by linking virtually the whole of Europe through railways, down to Spain.
I’d like to add that there are many ideas on the table, ready to be carried out with Chinese help.
For instance, a second Panama Canal in Nicaragua, to connect the Pacific and the Caribbean (albeit
voices of skepticism and dissent haunt this proposal).4 5 The Brazil-Peru transcontinental railroad – a
massive undertaking meant to link via rail the Atlantic coast and the Pacific coast, and thus open
Brazilian exports to Asian markets.6 There are also plans for China to create an alternative
transcontinental route from Brazil, through Bolivia and Peru.7
Deals between India and China are also underway. Collaboration on atomic science, especially
regarding the thorium-based nuclear reactor and the Chinese pebble-bed solid fuel 100Mw
demonstration reactor.8 It’s also important to note that atomic power still remains an important outlet of
investment and energy generation with near zero CO2 emissions, particularly when looking at 2 billion
souls seeking to attain western living standards. India holds around 25% of the world’s major thorium
reserves, and it is actively developing the thorium fuel cycle.9 10

Coulardeau and Eve take special note of India and Sri Lanka, and do not dismiss them from the
greater scheme in the wake of such big projects like the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal – which, for
political reasons that the authors identify, are left outside by the main geopolitical power. We’re referring
of course to the USA.
Globalization is a multi-door street, but some doors are bigger and wider than others. Such free
trade agreements can only push for lower sovereignty at the regional and national level, enforce strict
intellectual property laws, and diminish the collective bargaining power of labor. Supposedly,
consumers and firms are the ones who profit from such deals – but history shows that’s not really the
case everywhere all the time. Otherwise protectionism would not have resurged in the West. And Britain
would not have practiced protectionism to grow its own industries first, before projecting the
comparative advantage doctrine (whilst ignoring absolute advantage) upon others through threat of
violence and outright war.11 I am, of course, referring to the British Empire’s bloody tally in imperialism
and colonialism. The exploitation of India’s people and the artificially-induced famines, and the Opium-
wars with China leap to mind.
The so-called race to the bottom is a true phenomenon. It manifests itself when governments of
signatory countries (pacts of free trade or ‘fiscal responsibility’) implement policies meant to keep
domestic purchasing power lower & living standards low, in the hope of gaining market share for their
export-oriented enterprises. These countries are thus deliberately keeping their domestic levels of
Aggregate Demand low, and they rely on imports of Aggregate Demand from abroad in order to keep
their economies working (albeit with considerable unused capacity to spare).12 Aggregate Demand
means income plus the change in private debt.13 Private debt inflation adds to Aggregate Demand – it
translates into more spending, more sales, more income. While private debt deflation (what much of
the world is experiencing after the Great Financial Crisis of 2008) decreases Aggregate Demand – it
translates into less spending, fewer sales, less income. Accounting-wise, every net exporter of goods
and services is a net importer of Aggregate Demand and vice-versa. Spending is income. Debt is
equity. All government debt in the world represents world-wide private sector financial savings
(equity).1415
Issues of flags of convenience are explored in the book, alongside those of safety. Ships and
harbors require protection. Merchandise requires tracking. Elements of corruption, bureaucracy, and
the relationship between capital and labor must not endanger the flow of goods and services, or add
undesired and unnecessary costs to it. The authors state that what’s required for true security is the
existence of an international agency, with satellite monitoring capabilities, and with the legal mandate
and military means to combat terrorism, human trafficking, drug smuggling, and illegal weapons trade.
Whether one is personally in favor of globalization or not, the soundness of the above proposition is
indisputable.

I believe the many countries involved in the New Silk Road must follow the two principles behind
the Peace of Westphalia of 1648, which ended successfully 150 years of religious war and established
the notion of co-existing sovereign states; peace between them being reached through diplomatic
congress.16 The first tenet said that for the sake of peace, the crimes of all sides must be forgotten.
While the second tenet maintained that foreign policy must be carried out with the “interest of the other”
in mind. What relevance do these Westphalian principles have on our present imperfectly globalized
world? It is geopolitics that makes or breaks progress. That makes or breaks nations. That promotes
war and strife, or peace and development. And it is precisely this lack of Westphalian sovereignty
among nation states today, as well as the desire to severely outsource national and local sovereignty
to super-state bureaucracies, that endangers the peaceful process of globalization – and turns it into a
deliberate phenomenon of exploitation carried out by financial interests for the interest of financial
elites, rather than for the shared benefit of countries as a whole.
John Maynard Keynes said that the unregulated movement of international capital endangers
that self-governing experiment we call democracy.17 How prophetic his words were, especially if we
look at the wealthiest and strongest nation on earth – at the extreme income inequality in the US today,
which resembles not a capitalist economy, but a feudal economy.18
In short, if households are doing well, then so are the firms. GDP growth not seen in wage growth
appears in profit growth.19 As an adept of Chartalism20, I can tell you that macro fiscal policy is more
important to public purpose than trade. Whether a country is practicing free trade or protectionism, so
long as it has monetary sovereignty (so long as the national government spends and taxes in its own
free-floating nonconvertible fiat currency) it can do away with permanent and involuntary
unemployment. The currency sovereign faces no solvency risk. He can never miss a payment.21 The
real constraints are of a physical nature; unused physical resources, available labor (people willing and
able to work), and know-how.
Brazen corruption, political instability, and natural disasters are conducive to high inflation or
hyperinflation episodes for countries, alongside fixed exchange rate regimes with strong currencies.
Inflation is not always everywhere a monetary phenomenon, like mainstream (orthodox) theory likes to
claim.22 The overproduction of money is always a consequence of a crisis of hyperinflation, never the
cause of it. The Weimar Republic had to print (deficit spend) many figures as % of GDP in order to
purchase foreign currency with which to make war reparation payments. That money didn’t go to the
creation of roads, railways, industries, schools, or hospitals. In Zimbabwe, a favorite example employed
by inflation mongers, a number of different factors triggered the hyperinflation episode. First, Mugabe’s
failed land reform, which crippled agricultural output. And secondly, persistent political instability and
brazen corruption and the need to import more food from abroad contributed to the overproduction of
money.23
And of course, in all aspects of human society, one cannot ignore or reject that great element
called geopolitics. When powerful interests converge, either deliberately or through random
opportunity/chance, the weaker party incurs the terms of the stronger ones.
I would recommend this title to any investor or public servant that is looking to familiarize himself
or herself with the historical realities of the Old Silk Road, and with the challenges posed by the New
Silk Road in proper context. People seeking to invest in the New Silk Road – either in a specific supply

chain, in a particular technology, service, or financial institution – must realize the complexity of this
trans-national region and the many competing geopolitical and economic interests within it. Public
servants, those placed in key government agencies that hold important positions, must also study
carefully this tapestry of interests, challenges, and must weigh all the potential consequences (both
positive and negative), if they are to draw up pertinent national policies that take into account not only
the interests of wealthy lobbying parties, but also the interests of the common citizens and their natural
environment.

Jacques Coulardeau,
Copyright & Fair Use have it
happy and light on Kindle
Freedom of Expression
and Copyright
The Foundations of All
liberties
First, THE DOCUMENTS
For the last twenty years a rivalry if not even
worse between the USA and the European Union has
been going on in the field of intellectual property. The
emergence of the internet and virtual communication
has accelerated the IP divide between the two
continents. The USA decided to join the Berne
Conference and WIPO some forty years ago. It
upgraded its copyright laws in 1976 and then again in
1998 to be on a similar standing as the EU.
Yet Europe, led in that by France refuses to
negotiate anything having to do with intellectual
property with the USA: that’s what they call the cultural
exception. The result is a catastrophe. Since works are
protected in the whole world under the copyright
specification of the country in which they are first registered, the USA is dominant in the cinema, video art,
television, music and even as for that in all printed matters. But Europe is nicely caressing the idea of widening
the divide by projects that are sort of hectic.
The first one of these is the intention to force all research publications that have received some public
money in the research per se or the publication of it to go open access. This means the ruin of scientific
publishing in Europe. Publishers have already opened autonomous subsidiaries in the USA to evade the
problem.
But what’s more the linguistic problem of Europe and of scientific research is multiplying the divide with
linguistic dynamite: that’s what they call cultural diversity. Scientific research has to be in English at world level
today and for still quite a few more years. Researchers are then balancing the difficulty of writing in English or
having their work translated on one hand and publishing directly in the USA to be on the international market
directly on the other hand. And so far they have not found a third hand in that game Their future then is a vast
exodus out of Europe, and with the Internet they will be able to stay in our capital cities or mountains and work
in constant contact with New York or Los Angeles.
And the cinema is not better since today no great film, great in quality as well as in audience, can be
produced on a national basis and has to be co-produced with an American studio if possible. What can
European studios do when they have to work with Hollywood? Not much, even the French studios in spite of
their vanity. And the second most important intellectual property practice of the USA is coming as a stow-away
in the holds of coproduction. That seems to make Europeans slightly feverish and the French are frankly
burning hot if not burning out. The advantage of fair use is that every field has negotiated or is negotiating
statements of best practices in fair use that are logical for one and a lot more protective to IP than the
European never ending and always growing list of exceptions as they call them (exemptions would be too nice
for that systematic practice).
This stake is central to the future because it determines the level of creativity, productivity, invention and
growth we will have in the coming years. The Americans and the Europeans, like ostriches with their heads in
37. 37
the sand or like two male reindeer fighting for a female and that forget the hunters are not very far, just don’t
seem to know two countries are nicely moving in the wings and recuperating what we forget to defend. Russia
and China are smiling nicely and they just wait for the chestnuts to be well roasted on the hot plate of the
Western apes who are fighting about whether they have to wear gloves to shake hands.
Some are getting realistic but then they can only speak of the Chinese thieves who are stealing everything
and of the Russian ruffians who are misappropriating anything they can. How naïve! We have already said that
about the Japanese. We know the result. And the CIA is only manipulating the various Latin American
countries to get rid of the left-leaning governments, ignoring that the new governments are business people
who will understand the discourse of China one hundred times more than the left leaning governments of
before that adored corruption essentially because they were unable to prevent it. Trump seems to have
understood that there may be something to do in a new commercial direction but isn’t he too late?
The Chinese are reducing their coal mines at a speed that seems to be very sickening to some and Trump
would reopen his coal mines? Funny indeed. One more promise that will get laminated within six months. And
he will then discover that he won’t be on Mars first because he does not have the human means to do it.
Tesla, Google and Apple, among others, will invest at global level and not in the rose garden of the White
House and Europe for them is at most a cabbage patch in a vegetable garden in fact quite invaded with
stinging nettles and thistles.
But Trump will win one battle for sure as long as China is not trying to conquer the world at that level: he
will impose the US copyright and its Fair Use to the whole world, not because it is American but because it
works for one and it is the best equilibrium Intellectual property can build.
So here is a full volume to answer all you have to ask about the history of the freedom of expression and
the emergence of copyright in our world, an invention that is to stay and has a long future ahead, because it is
the best protection possible of intellectual property

Second, KINDLE EDITION PRESENTATION
Intellectual Property is a crucial asset in modern economy, hence in the modern world that is being
globalized thanks to the far-reaching development of networks, the cloud, and even the intercloud of Kevin
Kelly. The only regulatory force is Copyright (and Patents for inventions).
This volume starts exploring the emergence of freedoms in the western world in 1100 in England and
follows it till 2016 in the world, though the approach is centered on the USA, hence with Copyright and Fair
Use, the former being meaningless without the latter which is the recognition of the moral rights of the author,
moral rights that plunge their roots in the common law of intellectual property, moral rights that are perpetual.
This volume only contains the commentary and reflections based on the numerous documents. I have
collected all the documents in one file that I have uploaded on a research site and it is free and open access.
The documents collected there are under fair use and they are all available on the Internet anyway. The file
containing the documents can be reached at
https://www.academia.edu/31829015/Freedom_of_Expression_and_Copyright_The_Foundations_of_All_Liber
ties.
You can of course neglect going to the documents (550 pages and 443,000 words. But then you will
have to take my word for everything I say, which is not the best thing to do. Do check the documents.
The general idea is that freedom of expression is the first freedom to develop since there cannot be
any discussion, negotiation or bargaining if that freedom does not exist. The crucial event showing the
emergence of this freedom as a freedom for all and
not as a privilege for a few is the abolition of slavery
which took place in Christian Europe after the religious
reform of the 9th century and Charlemagne. This
reform introduced 75 days of no-work-at-all for
religious reasons: fifty-two Sundays and three week-
long feasts: Nativity, Passion and Assumption, plus a
few isolated days here and there.
This reform required a complete restructuring
of society, and first of all agriculture. The green
revolution it implied and caused required some
homogeneous land ownership and status for all field
workers. That was feudalism: the land was the
property of barons (up to the King or Emperor) and
church orders and parishes, and above all
Benedictines. That implied then the proto-industrial
revolution of the watermills in order to replace and
compensate for human work.
Copyright was invented as a censorship tool in
1557 by Queen Mary 1st, and confirmed by Elizabeth
1st. This censorship of printed matters in England was
paramount all along and through the 17th century. It is
only Queen Anne in 1710 with her Statute of Anne
who liberated publishing from this censorship and
gave copyright to the sole authors; That determined a
tremendous freedom of expression, and the first
printed press. It also gave rise to tremendous
innovation with engravings and etchings: England
finally caught up on the Germans and the Dutch,
mainly though not only.
But this copyright remained limited because it did not recognize the moral rights of the author, since
intellectual property that is perpetual in common law was declared repealed by the first publication of any work
39. 39
that cast the work entirely in the only economic or patrimonial, plainly commercial dimension. That has
practically not changed in Great Britain since the decision of the House of Lords of 1774.
The USA did things differently and they kept the common law active. It took them to move from a copy-
cat legislation (inscribed in the Constitution itself) reproducing the English legislation to change around the
middle of the 19th century and the emergence of moral rights under the concept of "fair use" that will only be
integrated in the Copyright Act of 1976. And that's where we stand today: copyright + Fair Use are the best
protection possible of intellectual property in the world.
