From the Beginning and forward

Greg Lake only took guitar lessons from Don Strike for one year - during that time, not really at all, man doesn’t learn theory and note reading.

Mart Helme ei mäleta, mida ta ütles, ja "meedia moonutab".

Ekre pidu erakonnale kuulub raadiokanal.
“Räägime asjast” 08.11.2020
Ekre pidu ex-siseminister Mart Helme rääkisi eile Tre Raadios, et USA valimistulemused on võltsitud ning Joe Bideni presidendiks saamine oleks Ameerika allakäigu algus. Eesti asjadest nii nagu need on räägivad Mart ja Martin Helme ning nende huvitavad külalised. "Räägime asjast" eetris igal pühapäeval kell 11.00 ning kordus sama päeva õhtul kell 21.00.

Ex-siseminister Mart Helme hinnangul valis Joe Bideni Ameerika presidendiks süvariik. 

Süvariigi tegutsemisloogika on omaenda tegevusvabaduse tagamiseks sokutada igale poole närakaid, korrumpeerunud, šantažeeritavaid närakaid. Joe Biden ja Hunter Biden on korrumpeerunud tüübid, 

ütles ex-siseminister. Ajakirja Postimees andmetel ütles ta seda mitu korda arutati saate jooksul ka võimalust, et Ameerikas puhkeb kodusõda. 

Mina nägin und enne valimisi, et tuleb Trump üle sellise heinamaa,

kirjeldas Mart Helme, ja rohkem:

Ja siis ma vaatan et see väli on kaetud soolikate ja sisikondadega. Trump sammus sealt läbi. Trump võidab lõpuks, see tuleb tohutu võitluse, võib-olla isegi verevalamise hinnaga, aga lõpuks seatakse õiglus jalule.

Mart Helme ei mäleta, mida ta ütles, ja "meedia moonutab".
Kuid see on fakt ja dokumentaalfilm.

Vår Dag

Rösträkningen i USA blir antagligen så gott som klar senast fredag
Det finns svenska dagen som firas här bland finlandssvenskarna den 6 november samtidigt som man i Sverige firar Gustav Adolfsdagen. Svenska dagen är således äldre än både Svenska flaggans dag (sedermera Sveriges nationaldag), som instiftades 6 juni 1916, och Finlands nationaldag Självständighetsdagen instiftad 6 december 1917.

Men nu kommer vi snart också se Donald Trumps avgång. Joe Biden går allt närmare valseger, tar ledningen i nyckelstaten Georgia - Trump påstår att "demokraterna försöker stjäla valet"
 :-D

Trump var den första antidemokratiska populisten i Vita huset, men kanske inte den sista, sayer Juri von Bonsdorff i HBL.


The first meme that guided the development of current human culture

Babaji with T. Subba Rao and H. P. Blavatsky.
Theosophical Society:  There is no religion higher than truth - that does not mean that truth itself could be a religion, not at all.I have always been a little bothered when theosophy has been spoken of as a religion.
The interesting thing about the Theosophical Society (founded in 1875) is that it is a great place to learn about religion, philosophy, science and metaphysics - without having to commit to any dogmas or a specific spiritual path. 
Each member can remain in whatever religion they choose - as long as they respect each other's beliefs and practices.
There were three objects of the Theosophical Society - they still exist even though TS is badly degenerate.
To form a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood of Humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or color.To encourage the study of comparative religion, philosophy and science.To investigate unexplained laws of Nature and the powers latent in man.

The Theosophical Society was the first to popularize Eastern concepts for a Western audience. Here are links to articles by theosophists on concepts that have become dictionary words - or almost it.

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831 – 1891) was one of the most fascinating women of the 19th century. A Russian mystic, philosopher, author and an amateur linguist.
Blavatsky stated: Theosophy is purely ‘Divine Ethics’; the definitions in dictionaries are pure nonsense, based on religious prejudice and ignorance of the true spirit of the early Rosicrucians and mediæval philosophers who called themselves Theosophists. 

Theosophy literally means `God's Wisdom´.
Blavasky was not the first to use the term: it appears in the writings of the Alexandrian Neoplatonists, including Ammonius Saccas and Porphyry, and a lineage of medieval and renaissance philosophers, all the way to the 18th century. It is, in HPB's words, 
the sub-stratum and basis of all world-religions and philosophies, taught and practiced by a few elect ever since man became a thinking being.
So.

What were the reasons?

 
Why?

Here we go 264 - 214

According to  Associated Press democrat Joe Biden has carried Michigan and its 16 electoral votes, further dismantling Donald Trump’s Rust Belt wall of support that helped deliver him the presidency four years ago.

The flip from red back to blue was a huge blow to Trump, whose victories in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania in 2016 sent him to the White House. Biden also carried Wisconsin, though Pennsylvania has not been called yet. 

Biden’s victory in Michigan, rapported AP — he was up Wednesday night by about 134,000 votes, or nearly 2.5 percentage points, out of 5.5 million cast — pushes him to 264 Electoral College votes, six short of the 270 needed to win the White House. Trump is at 214 electoral votes. Nevada, which has six electoral votes, is among the states Democrat Hillary Clinton won in 2016 that has not yet been called.

The shame of the whole world

Yes, what Trump says.
Or more precisely, it is a disgrace to all of human race.

US Election Results 2020 LIVE: Trump Wins Battleground Florida, Biden Takes Arizona In Knife-Edge Fight

US Presidential Election Results 2020 LIVE Updates: More than 100 million Americans cast their ballots in advance of Tuesday's Election Day, according to the US Elections Project watchdog.

RIGHT NOW accordint to NYT.

How Biden and Trump can each win the presidency.

Here’s what you need to know:

Presidential election hangs in the balance as nation braces for period of uncertainty.

The stakes are global, and so is the audience.

Democrats’ path to Senate control narrows as Republicans hold onto critical seats.

As the race tightens, chances of a protracted legal struggle increase.

Ballots have never been fully counted on Election Day.

Democrats are on track to hold their House majority as Republicans see early victories.

Big gains among Latinos in the Miami area power Trump to victory in Florida.

The planet is a tramp

An Earth-size planet is careening untethered through the galaxy, but nobody has ever seen one here — yet.

We know very well earth orbits the sun like a ship sailing in circles around its anchor.   But least one star flyes helplessly and heedlessly through interstellar space ans a planet goes rogue.

Either we were very lucky, or such objects are very common in the Milky Way. They may be as common as stars, 

wrote Live Science.

Earth orbits the sun like a ship sailing in circles around its anchor. But what if someone — or something — cut that ship loose? Unbound from any star or solar system, what would become of a tiny world flying helplessly and heedlessly through interstellar space? What happens when a planet goes rogue?

This discovery demonstrates that terrestrial-mass free-floating planets can be detected and characterized using microlensing.

Some low-mass planets are expected to be ejected from their parent planetary systems during early stages of planetary system formation. 

Although in practice such objects do not emit any light, they may be detected using gravitational microlensing via their light-bending gravity.

Keep up pressure on Lukashenko

Now the Secure messaging app, which Belarus protesters use to organisation of protests and spreading of news about repressions there, according to www.theguardian.com

Since August, the protest has also become localised, and hundreds of smaller groups have appeared. 

Now there are Telegram channels for each city, each district, and in some cases even individual apartment blocks. They provide support for people who get detailed by police, a forum to swap ideas, and in many parts of Minsk, local protest events, lectures or concerts, according to The Guardian.

In an effort to stamp out the growing number of protest-themed murals appearing on walls of Belarus, the Interior Ministry has warned that graffiti artists face up to 12 years in prison. 

The most famous of these courtyard protest venues is just north of the centre, where a mural has been painted of two DJs who achieved cult status before the election, when they were hired for a pro-Lukashenko gathering and played the perestroika-era track Changes, which has become the unofficial anthem of the Belarusian uprising. 

A Mural of two DJs that defied the state at a state-sponsored concert is the most iconic of all the images.

The square has been unofficially renamed Changes Square and attracts musicians who give concerts most weekends.
