Path of Totality

Jack Nicholson subtly glancing at the camera on purpose to subliminally unsettle the audience in The Shining.

Happy Winter Solstice! [Photograph from the Long Barrow at All Cannings, Wiltshire, England] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Barrow_at_All_Cannings “…we watch through murk And overboiling cloud for the milted glow Of sunrise, for an eastern dazzle To send first light like share-shine in a furrow Steadily deeper, farther available, Creeping along the floor of the passage grave To backstone and capstone, to hold its candle Inside the cosmic hill. Who dares say ‘love’ At this cold coming? Who would not dare say it? Is this the moved wheel that the poet spoke of, The star pivot? Life's perseid in the ashpit Of the dead? Like his, my speech cannot Tell what the mind needs told: an infant tongue” — from A Dream of Solstice by Seamus Heaney Source: https://x.com/timothydaw/status/1869821230708338701?s=46&t=7raG7GQbeJAg9IT3UKZInw

“After the game, the king and the pawn go back in the same box.” — Italian proverb

Syrian Trickster [The prisoner CNN helped escort out of jail after he was freed by Syrian rebels was actually a notorious member of ousted President Bashar al-Assad’s forces, who tricked the outlet and rebels into helping him.] Just look at the absolute melodrama of these photographs — her hand to her chest to signify such dismay, them helping him walk out of the place like he’s handicapped. So staged, but not in the way they thought. Clarissa Ward thought she had saved some forlorn prisoner, but it was only another “bad guy” whom she would hate had she known he was part of the Assad regime. These woke libtard journalists have such a desperate savior complex that it clouds their better judgement, especially in times of stress or uncertainty. I’ll bet she thought she was going to win a Pulitzer Prize for her heroic journalism, but she got taken for a fool instead.

The Testimony of Daniel Penny

The Justifier (2 of 2) “The Führerprinzip demands the combining of the collective body and mind of the folk, and the executive power of the Führer in order to triumph over socio-cultural degeneracy and ideological nihilism through the ancient will, the conservation of natural law. It represents the ‘deliverer’ of which Nietzsche speaks when lamenting the nihilistic urges of his contemporary German (European) sociopolitical climate: ‘Everywhere the deliverer is missing, either as a class or as a single man — the justifier’ [quote from Nietzsche].” — from Myth and Sun (2022) by Martin Friedrich, Clemens & Blair Edition, pgs. 112 & 113

The Justifier (1 of 2) “Nationalism itself is never Nietzsche’s enemy. Instead, he rails at the context of his contemporary nationalism — i.e. the Liberalistic shroud that the still-encumbered-by-slave-morality nationalism dons. The citizens of Germany — the ‘polluted streams’ — submit their will and flow into the great ‘sea’ of the Führer, through which they are cleansed of their weakness and ideological nihilism; important to note, however, is that it is not the Führer alone who represents the Übermensch, but the conjoined will of the folk with the Führer.”

#ScienceSaturday No. 98 (Late Sunday Edition) The Brocken Spectre A rare optic sight, the Brocken Spectre occurs when a person stands at a higher altitude in the mountains, and sees his shadow cast on a cloud at a lower altitude. The phenomenon can appear on any misty mountainside, but the frequent fogs and low-altitude accessibility of the Brocken, the highest peak of the Harz mountains in Germany, have created a local legend from which the phenomenon draws its name.
