Things That Really Happened

In 1956, a concert in Moscow of Swan Lake, performed by Maya Plisetskaya, resulted in the KGB running through the audience to stop people from applauding too loudly, and literally dragging some theater-goers out of the theater kicking, screaming, and scratching.

For years, the ballet company had been suppressed by the senior bureaucrats for being 'too erotic' and the opera music 'mutilated.'

Two years later, in 1958, at the Papal Conclave, the first pick of who should be 'the next Pope' went to Cardinal Siri of Genoa - who, as soon as he had received the vote, also got a slip of paper from 'a foreign emissary,' which said (and this is confirmed from numerous reliable authoritative sources and never has been denied by anyone) that if Siri accepted, he would immediately be killed, and all of his family and friends would be killed as well. In fact, the actual closest person to the whole affair, reported that the message was even far worse than that, in that the Vatican City was being threatened with a nuclear weapon!!

Today, I personally don't worry so much about suppression by the general media on matters political - I worry about the fact that you will not find one single photograph or reference on-line anywhere, about why a great French fashion designer like Yves Saint Laurent, was so famous.

...Instead, what you will find are many references to his homosexuality, and of course, even the gigantic investment bank which owns his label today, never refers to his actual name, but only to their products as 'YSL' using a branded logo design to express the line.

This year, the Pantone Color of the Year, is 'Ultimate Grey.'

What made Yves Saint Laurent really famous on the world stage, is that he designed for Plisetskaya and also for Marlene Dietrich.

Yves Saint Laurent and Plisetskaya

In the case of Plisetskaya, he radically altered the usual 'red and black' palette for the productions of Bizet's Carmen Suite Ballet, and during one performance only, at Covent Garden, the costumes were all in Yves Saint Laurent's (later) trade-mark colors of grey, white and yellow. This was such a truly shocking departure that it scandalized the press, but was so amazing visually, especially when presented by Plisetskaya, that Saint Laurent's fame was fully established in the paramount Western fashion capital of London.

If 'the big thing' that present-era global socio-political elites want to shove down everyone's throats is homosexuality, then why though, is there this much much deeper level subtle criminality to do with mutilating the history of what actually made those significant figures - who may indeed have been homosexual - who they became?

Why suppress the very exceptional incidents themselves, that placed those figures onto the world stage - and to be acclaimed for those particular elements of their work?

You can buy a lot of expensive rubbish from LVMH under the brand label of 'YSL' but none of it is what Yves Saint Laurent was famous for. 

What the psychological manipulators are trying to do, and very successful on the whole, is convince you that it was the homosexuality, that was important, and not the work or the ideas that those people had.

But let me assure you of this - if you decide tomorrow, that you are going to be 'gay' when previously you were some other thing, it will not make you Yves Saint Laurent!

These miscreants that run all of this agenda, are not supporters of homosexuals or homosexuality - they are abusers of homosexuals, denying them their own history of actual creativity and innovation and achievement, supplanting all of that with 'industrial scale' political semiotics and propaganda.

At schools, you will be taught that you have the right 'to be gay...'

You will never be told you have the right to stick it in the faces of the Politburo elite or the global agenda elite, or that you can distinguish yourself above the pack and ahead of what your puppet-masters have planned for you to do. You will never be told that you can be unique and self-made, or at least 'self-actualized.'  

Actual gay people who think that the 'gay rights political agenda' or the 'rainbow movement' is going to enhance their rights or their lives - are fools.

"All Hail, Mighty Queen of Heaven! No equal ever before I have seen"

"Nay nay, Rhyming Thomas. That name is not for me.

"I am but the Queen of Fairyland, and I've come to visit thee."

...And riding off the both of them together, over hill and dale and desert wide as far as the eye can see,

Until at last the Lady spake: "Dismount thee, Thomas, now, and mark you well,

"For wonders I shall show you, three."

The Oak

Just kidding.

The Larch.

The...

...LARCH.

The Larch.

 

The Poplar

The Poplar tree is a common deciduous plant of the cottonwood family whose general name is also applied to the common Aspen.

Poplars are often grown as ornamental trees - but they must be planted a long way from foundations, as their roots are powerful, vigorous and invasive.

The wood of the poplar is light, durable, close-grained and highly flexible -, all of these characteristics also being shared by the willow. 

Poplar wood was highly favored for the construction of shields since the wood was very strong and durable, difficult to penetrate, but much lighter than oak.

If you are considering making wooden shields for warfare, consider the poplar as your go-to choice for the wood.

Or, if you are considering entering the viola-making trade, poplar has long been a much prized timber for this craft.

In fact, you could easily surprise your foe, by advancing upon him in the dead of night, screeching away at your beautifully-grained viola, whilst at the same time presenting it forward as a shield, and then bashing him over the head with it when you are close -, the strong flexible and durable poplar wood bouncing happily over his thick skull, and no doubt scrambling his normally very keen senses, perhaps rendering him with a severe case of anosmia at minimum.

Number One

The Larch.

The... ...LARCH.

Wood from larch trees is distinguished from wood from other conifers by being on the one hand a soft wood but waterproof and durable. Siberian Larch is also a very dense wood as well as strong.

Although a soft wood, larch wood is also quite heavy. Thus, considering its rare combination of soft to work, but dense, heavy, waterproof, strong, and durable - wood from the larch is unique.

It is also very high in calorific density and therefore makes one of the best fire-woods available and one of the few soft woods genuinely useful for this purpose.

The Larch.

A mighty fine tree providing a mighty fine timber.

Siberian Larch forest in Spring

Siberian Larch forests would seem quite pleasant to walk through in the Spring, it would appear, from photographs.

I have not, myself, been through any Siberian Larch forests, either in Spring or at any other time of the year - although I have, unfortunately, been through a Russian Birch forest on the apron of Winter and that was rivaled only by many stiff and rapid walks through St James's Square in London in the middle of Winter and many a night's walk down an Austrian Alpine road from a nightclub where I was playing in a duo - along with another young fellow from Khancoban, New South Wales (which is in the Snowy Valley, as you would know).

I must say, interestingly, I always found St. James's Square by far the most bitterly cold place, as the winds pierce somehow right through even multiple layers of clothing and there are little to no windbreaks presented by any of the trees there, which are spread far apart. Indeed, why it should even be called 'St. James's' anything I'll never know, since the statue there is of William III.

It is of course, in, the district of St. James, but the park originally belonged to Henry Jermyn, the Earl of Albans, and not really King James at all.

In fact, St James's Park was never ever originally known as that at all, but rather, it was Pall Mall field.

Siberian Larch forest in Winter

St. James's Square is sparsely lined with Plane trees, which like the Maple, are completely leafless in Winter, making the bitter winds all the more unimpeded through the park.

The English Plane tree is of course though, not a Maple, but a Sycamore.

...So. No Larch trees though, at all - in St. James's Square.
