Live and Let...?

The second line of the Wicce Measure, starts off: 'Live and let live.'

So Fleming pens a novel (1954) heavily based on the Duvaliers and their influence in New York politics and banking via voodoo networks inside the rich elite and particularly among the wives of said. Francois Duvalier was originally, in part sponsored by the CIA itself and had been working to take over Haiti for several years before he finally did that in 1957. His voodoo family network had been active in New York for years already. 

Fleming takes from what he is obviously reasonably enough familiar with, which is namely the 'Wicce Measure' - although nowadays people call it the Witches' Counsel.

He takes the second line and turns it into 'Live and Let Die.'

It is so cold down here right now,
that there is snow on Bluff Knoll,
and I busted out my thick 'reader socks'
that I was saving to just look at forever...

Well, that was all back in the days when the FBI actually did their job, They publicly named the wives of prominent bankers who they said were being harassed by the Voodoo cult members, but what they really meant was to warn these women to lay off doing what they had actually been doing, which was placing spells onto the competitors of their husbands and so on.

In the end people did get charged too, mainly with using or attempting to use drugs to effect people without their knowledge.

These days, of course, the FBI has managed to quite easily convince people like 'KP' that 'Steve Bannon is bad' - notwithstanding that only just recently Bannon saved the great library of Monte Cassino with a lot of his own money.

And they would make a joke if you told them there really were black magic groups operating in Washington and Los Angeles and manipulating the political elites.

The respect for, nay the actual knowledge of, great literature and what the whole of modern Western society and culture ought to have been receiving as its rightful legacy - is absolutely nil.

I raised the name of Natalie Barney to demonstrate just how bad this situation has gotten now.

To imagine that being 'Woke' or being a modern feminist, whether 'radical' or any other 'acceptable' kind (as KP will affirm, is determined by people like him, who are clearly your moral superiors as well as your intellectual ones - 'acceptability' comes from those who signal to you what 'virtue' means and which virtues you are to have), whilst not knowing who Natalie Clifford Barney is in your life, speaks volumes.

Natalie Clifford Barney.
An actual real coven circle.

Natalie Barney knew and/or funded and published and marketed: Marcel Proust, Gertrude Stein, T. S. Eliot, Paul Valery, Cocteau, Scott Fitzgerald, Thornton Wilder, Rainer Maria Rilke, James Joyce...

The list goes on and on, and you could go on all day with filling out the list and talking about those luminaries of art and culture.

Barney was a super wealthy American who went to Paris to live, ostensibly, as a Paris 'neo-lesbian' among the salon set - and became one of the most celebrated salonierres herself.  

The most, and I mean the most horrific, revolting display that this human race has ever given, is what you are witnessing right now all over the place around you, where people who are - according to them - completely well-meaning - protest and 'get triggered' and show you their ugly aggression and it is far from 'passive' every time something comes up which is not on the page set them by actually evil 'front man' miscreants like Barack Obama.

No one who does not have a truly solid knowledge of the life and the lifestyle, and the art and the ideas of someone like Natalie Barnes - has any right at all to say 'gay,' or 'lesbian' or 'sex' anything!

And this has been completely affirmed by numerous scholars before me. Alhamdulillah!

In fact, on account of which rulings by actual authentic scholars, I hereby issue a fatwa against anyone who ever says 'gay or lesbian' again but cannot recite backwards the Wicce chant of Natalie Barnes, which she used when she was Witch Queen of Provence presiding over the main Mabon circle cast and was dressed in what fabric, Bill?

You can lead a horse to Provence fish stew,
but you can't make him...!

LOL

(Bill knows). He sent me some pics earlier today. 

...At the same time everyone is entitled to hold whatever views they want to and that they freely choose to hold because - 'live and let live, and think what you will because it will only hurt you yourself if you are being silly!'

The absolute test, is whether Steve Bannon would go along with Natalie Barnes... My guess is that he would, and that places the common popular current conception of for instance 'LGBTQ' politics - where, exactly?

 

Got to wait till around half way and hear the simple lyrics, and then consider if, same as Natalie Barney, people have been forced to lose touch with African-American modern culture. The sentiment is known among the Rave Culture elites as 'pronoia.'
