Spotify gjort sitt val

Joe Rogan Experience 
Google trend history since the spotify deal. 

Rocklegenderna Neil Young  och Joni Mitchell lämnar Spotify i protest mot desinformation om coronavaccin.

Jag lyfter upp min hatt för Niilo och Joni.

Hur som helst, jag har spelat Youngs låtar i 50 år.

"Jag låter Spotify veta omedelbart i dag att jag vill att all min musik tas bort från deras plattform", 

skrev Young enligt Wall Street Journal.Young krävde i ett öppet brev tidigare i veckan att Spotify avlägsnar Joe Rogans podcast.

Joni Mitchell följer efter Neil Young: 

"Tar bort sin musik från Spotify 2I stand with Neil Young”, 

skriver Mitchell på sin hemsida.

Mitchell säger sig ha bestämt sig för att också ta bort all sin musik från Spotify, efter kontroverserna kring Joe Rogans podcast där han bjudit in vaccinmoståndare.

"Oansvariga människor sprider lögner som kostar människoliv", 

skriver Mitchell bland annat.

Neil Young drar bort all sin musik från musiktjänsten Spotify. Åtgärden är en snapt protest mot att Spotify inte tagit bort den vaccinkritiska podcastvärden Joe Rogans program från sin tjänst.

Young hade 2,4 miljoner följare och 6 miljoner lyssnare i månaden på plattformen.

Spotify bekräftar att Youngs musik kommer att tas bort från deras tjänst.

Vi beklagar Neils beslut att avlägsna sin musik från Spotify, men hoppas välkomna honom tillbaka snart, uppger bolaget.

Han är känd för låtarna The Needle and the Damage Done,  Heart of Gold och Rocking In the Free World,

About Crimean peninsula

According to British government their have information that indicates the Russian Government is looking to install a pro-Russian leader (a puppet government) in Kyiv as it considers whether to invade and occupy Ukraine. The former Ukrainian MP Yevhen Murayev is being considered as a potential candidate.

"We have information that the Russian intelligence services maintain links with numerous former Ukrainian politicians ..".

Some of These have contact with Russian intelligence officers currently involved in the planning for an attack on Ukraine.

The information being released today shines a light on the extent of Russian activity designed to subvert Ukraine, and is an insight into Kremlin thinking, said Foreign Secretary Liz Truss.

"Russia must de-escalate, end its campaigns of aggression and disinformation, and pursue a path of diplomacy. "

Any Russian military incursion into Ukraine would be a massive strategic mistake with severe costs.

But.

What does Russia want? It wants Crimea - for itself. Then it stops threatening and will leave.

They are extreme wealth - but is the money really theirs? (no)

The big picture revealed by the Pandora papers is stark enough. 

Putin did not tame the oligarchs. Instead, according to Guardian, this leak indicates the existence of a new feudal system, where Putin's friends and KGB associates have been the principal beneficiaries. 

Some acquired huge paper fortunes of their own. The suspicion is this wealth is ultimately not theirs.

The prime task of Western intelligence should be to find, verify, specify & publicize Putin's personal wealth held in the West in the order $100 bn. Putin will become a political corps in Russia & internationally. Next, go for Xi Jingping! Are only journalists able to do so?

Are only journalists able to do so?

Basically, yes, they should increase the pressure on the Kreml.

The cool bike

The M2B33 engine in the R32 had a displacement of about 500 cc and had a cast-iron sidevalve cylinder/head unit. 

This bike was with authentic named Helios.

After the merger, General Director of BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke)  Franz Josef Popp asked Design Director Max Friz to assess the Helios motorcycle. Upon completing his assessment, Friz suggested to Popp that the best thing that could be done with the Helios would be to dump it in the nearest lake! 

More specifically, Friz condemned the Douglas-style transverse-crankshaft layout, which heavily restricted the cooling of the rear cylinder.

R32 engine and transmission unit

There were near-term solution of redesigning the Helios to make it more saleable and a long-term solution of an all new motorcycle design. This new design was designated the BMW R32 and began production in 1923, becoming the first motorcycle to be badged as a BMW.

The engine produced 8.5 hp 0 6.3 kW, which propelled the R32 to a top speed of 95 km/h (59 mph). The engine and gear box formed a single unit. The new engine featured a recirculating wet sump oiling system at a time when most motorcycle manufacturers used a total-loss oiling system.

BMW used this type modern of recirculating oiling system until 1969.

Guys, tie me to the mainmast

Ulysses and the Sirens
is a 1909 oil painting by Herbert James Draper.

Odysseus spent that part of the journey tied to the main mast, enabling him to hear the beautiful song by mermaids  for himself. 

When he heard their song, he begged his men to release him, but they bound him tighter until they had sailed past their island.

Every man has.

Finlandisering levar fortfarande

Tidigare chef för säkerhetspolisen
 (1978-1990) Seppo Tiitinen.

Enligt Svenska Yle Seppo Tiitinen förnekade att Kalevi Sorsa är på listan, men han finns på listan.

På listan finns namn på 18 finländare som misstänks ha haft kontakter till den östtyska underrättelsetjänsten Stasi.

Finland hade mycket omfattande kontakter med både Sovjetunionen och DDR från början av 1960-talet. Kontakterna gällde både stater, partier och organisationer.

Tiitisen lista reder ut vilka i Finland som hjälpte och aktivt stödde Sovjetunionen och dess allierade, Östtyskland. 

Finland intresserade Östtyskland till den grad att det öppnades en underrättelsebyrå för Stasi i den östtyska beskickningen i Helsingfors i slutet av 1950-talet. Då muren föll utvidgades byrån till att omfatta nästan hela beskickningen.

Den östtyska hemliga säkerhetstjänsten, Stasi ville framförallt få uppgifter om Nato och USA. Stasi bedrev i Finland ett intimt samarbete med den sovjetiska underrättelsetjänsten KGB.

Omedveten kontakt

Stasi var intresserad av såväl politiker och militärer som också tjänstemän, fackaktiva, redaktörer, studerande och industrianställda. Vissa av Stasis kontakter verkade för Stasi utan att de själva visste om det men vissa andra var till och med avlönade av Stasi.

Dom säger att ett problem i relationerna mellan Finland och Sovjetunionen var att Sovjetunionen ville bestämma om vilka som förmådde bedriva en politik som var i enlighet med Paasikivi-Kekkonen linjen. Bara en liten inre krets fick vetskap om detta och de stöddes politiskt och moraliskt av KGB.

Our business

The Finnish sky.

Finland and Sweden joining Nato 

“could make entire northern Europe much more stable and safer,”

 said some of Estonia’s parliamentary foreign affairs committee.

Is not so.

But.

According to Financial Times Russia’s sabre-rattling in Ukraine has reignited the debate in Finland as to whether the Nordic country should join Nato, defying demands from Moscow that seek to limit expansion of the military alliance in Europe.

Both president Sauli Niinisto and prime minister Sanna Marin used their new year addresses to underscore that Finland retained the option of seeking Nato membership at any time.

“Let it be stated once again: Finland’s room to manoeuvre and freedom of choice also include the possibility of military alignment and of applying for Nato membership, should we ourselves so decide,” Niinisto said.

Marin added in her separate speech that every country had the right to decide its own security policy, stressing: 

“We have shown that we have learnt from the past. We will not let go of our room for manoeuvre.”

As Russia amasses about 100,000 troops on Ukraine’s eastern frontier, Washington, Moscow and Nato member states are set to meet for talks in early January. US president Joe Biden is also due to speak to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday. Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, has previously refused to rule out military action and has warned he has “all kinds” of options if his demands for “security guarantees” to limit Nato expansion are unmet.

Finland and neighbouring Sweden are both militarily non-aligned but have a growing co-operation with Nato as well as strong bilateral relationships with members of the alliance such as the US, Norway and UK.

There is no sense of Finland imminently about to apply for Nato membership, but Russia’s activity on the borders of Ukraine and its list of demands just before Christmas has fired up the internal debate in Helsinki to a level last seen after the Russian annexation of Crimea.

Niinisto also warned the west that it risked empowering Russia if it removed the threat of possible military action. Citing former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger on appeasing Nazi-Germany, the Finnish president said: 

“Whenever avoidance of war has been the primary objective of a group of powers, the international system has been at the mercy of its most ruthless member.”

Atte Harjanne, an active reservist and head of the parliamentary group of the Green party, a member of the ruling five-party government coalition, said the arguments for Finland joining had been strengthened and that the country should join immediately.

In Finland, the matter is decided by the people of Finland, in practice the president, who is absolutely hugely popular.

Niinistö can with his own opinion to direct the people - no one else can do that.

Russia would not tolerate independent reckoning of its past

The Memorial Human Rights Center, the daughter organisation of International Memorial, was founded as Gorbachev allowed reporting on Stalin's million of victims - its closure shows that "Russian civil society being dismantled at lightning speed", according to The Guardian.

This was a bad year for rights in Russia, International Memorial's closure stands out for its ruthlessness. 

Criminals in the Kreml can do nothing but try to stay in power by any means so that they are not hold accountable for their colossal crimes they have committed - with the change of power.

True about the emperor

Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo by Hippolyte Bellangé (1800-1866).

Napoleon Bonaparte met Johann Wolfgang von Goethe on October 6 in 1808, one time at Weimar, in the company of  Goethe's fellow writer Christoph Martin Wieland. 

On October 14, Goethe and Wieland were each awarded the cross of the Legion of Honour by Napoleon.

Goethe revealed no details about about his conversations with Napoleon until many years later (In 1828, Goethe told all about that to his friend Johann Peter Eckermann):

... so Goethe said of Napoleon Bonaparte:

"His life was the stride of a demi-god, from battle to battle, and from victory to victory. "

and: 

"It might well be said of him, that he was found in a state of continual enlightenment. "

Yet: 

"On this account, his destiny was more brilliant than any the world had seen before him, or perhaps will ever see after him."

Napoleon lost his light.

In 1815, Napoleon was defeated and exiled to the remote South Atlantic island of St. Helena, where he died on May 5, 1821. 

Napoleon soon reincarnated as a teosophical writer (Pekka Ervast) in remote Finland. His works glorify Goethe as one of the wisest people in the world.

In his own opinion, as an emperor, he had eventually been too selfish. The task was to unite Europe and not to conquer Russia.

OVD-Info supposedly ‘foreign agent’

According to Aljazeera one Russia communication watchdog Roskomnadzor media regulator takes action against ‘foreign agent’ OVD-Info as Kremlin crackdown on dissent rumbles on.

Now Russia blocks website of protest monitoring group OVD-Info.

OVD-Info – which has, for years, documented anti-Kremlin protests and provides legal support to victims of political persecution – said on Saturday that the Roskomnadzor media regulator had moved to restrict access to its site earlier this week.

The website currently shows a message saying access to it is restricted on the basis of a federal law on information, information technologies and data protection.

In September this year, Russia declared OVD-Info, which was founded during the first mass protests against President Vladimir Putin’s criminal governance in December 2011, a ‘foreign agent’  in a move critics say is designed to stifle dissent.

The world lies in a way.

According to The World Happiness Report, the ten happiest countries are:
Finland
Denmark
Switzerland
Iceland
Netherlands
Norway
Sweden
Luxembourg
New Zealand
Austria

Why Finns came top in the happiness ratings four times in a row.

The World Happiness Report uses data from interviews of more than 350,000 people in 95 countries, conducted by the polling company Gallup. The rankings are not based on factors like income or life expectancy, but on how people rate their own happiness on a 10-point scale.

“We believe that these subjective, or self-perceived evaluations are a more reliable way to tell how good life is,” 

says Shun Wang, professor of the KDI School of Public Policy and Management in South Korea and one of the authors of the report.

I'm just smiling not laughing.

 

The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

Jimmy talks about Pfizer’s good news about its vaccine and the Omicron variant and Finland’s prime minister missing an alert to quarantine herself because she was out nightclubbing.

Jimmy laughs at that: when Finland’s prime minister comes home from the road, President Biden in the United States goes to piss.

By the way.

Sanna Marin became the world’s youngest prime minister when appointed in 2019, sure, but she has previously been the target of criticism over parties at her official residence and social media posts in which she poses with friends or appears to promote fashion accessories.

And we're just waiting for her to grow up into an adult - one day.

It must be a sign of a lost civilization

Part 2, a continuation from this 1.

Why is there so little text to be found about the ancient relics that move the foundations of science? This also applies to Göbekli Tepe.

See the Top 10 mysterious historical sites in the world: Underwater Pyramids in Portugal.

The discovery was accidentally made by a local sailor who was looking for good fishing grounds.

It was made at last by used digital scanning devices to help a local fisherman's locate the hidden pyramid.

It was found (in 2013 or in 2016) in an area of the Atlantic Ocean that has been covered by water for around over 10,000 years. 

This would be coinciding with the last great ice age of the northern hemisphere where the glaciers started melting 2,000 years earlier.

Experts reckon whoever was living there before the ice age was probably responsible for building the pyramid.

The 'sunken Atlantis pyramid' was found off the coast of the Azores islands. It was discovered between the islands of Terceira and São Miguel, the biggest island on the archipelago, and everyone who has seen it is saying that the structure is perfectly square.

An intensive exploration launched by the Portuguese Navy is underway. Still? What is this `Portuguese Navy´? 

How is their scientific competence? 

There will be generally believed that ​the pyramids can only be the vestige of the lost city Atlantis, an advanced legendary prehistoric civilization. 

The discovery should now be surrounded by the best scientific communities in the world.

Where are the scientific publications from this subject?

They can just keep quiet?

By the way,

According to National Geographic whole ancient `Lost Continent´ discovered in Indian Ocean

New evidence of old rocks further demonstrate the landmass `drowned´ during continental breakup about 85 million years ago. 

?

Estimates of millions of years are out of date, old -fashioned now.

I guess this underwater Pyramid is trying to be forgotten

National Geogprahic did not mention the Pyramid of the Azores in their own two-hour documentary.

By the way, the film was a meritorious one.

I saw it on the natgeoTV: executive produced by James Cameron, Atlantis Rising is a detective-journalistical thriller that seeks out, uncovers and explores artefacts such as archaeological finds, satellite photographs and manuscripts hiding in plain sight and underwater. 

The one off special attempts to decode the artefacts in order to further the investigation and get to the bottom of the story.

Hi!

What more about Azories.

There was find one big underwater pyramid: is the Atlantis located near Azores.

A Portuguese sailor says that he has discovered a large underwater pyramid, between the islands of Sao Miguel and Terceira, in the Azores.

Discoverer Diocleciano Silva couldn't believe what his eyes were telling him. As he was sailing in the Atlantic Ocean looking for fish, he spotted a perfectly-shaped pyramid structure on the sonar.

After rechecking the GPS devices and maps, Silva confirmed that the unknown underwater construction was lying only at 40 meters.

Square, and aligned with the four cardinal compass directions. The pyramid's base is estimated to have 8000 square meters.

The pyramid was found in an area of the mid-Atlantic that has been underwater for about 20,000 years (or just 10,000 to 12,000 when the Atlantis sank).

Plato described Atlantis disappearing in a single day and night, swallowed by the ocean, directly there where the Azores stand today.

The strange discovery was reported to the Portuguese Hydrographic Institute. 

The Portuguese Hydrographic Institute of the Navy currently has the job of analyzing the data to determine whether or not the structure is man-made. 

“The pyramid is perfectly shaped and apparently oriented by the cardinal points,”

Silva told Diário Insular, the local newspaper.

Sure, the legendary Atlantis is the ultimate sailor's dream.  

What are the secrets behind the Azorean submerged pyramid?

This islands were mountain peaks in old Atlantis.

And then Is it the work of man or only a natural coincidence?

Not at all.

One pyramid we can se on the ground at Azories.

Pyramids have been built in nearly all corners of the world.

The whole paradigm of archeology and all nature science is faltering.

It would also be important to protect new discoveries so that skeptics do not destroy them.

The bosses were revealed

 Who were these mysterious beings? 

Those income-beings came here from the second (I will not elaborate) universe. They were some kind of the pioneers, whose had task quide lead to early human race to learning simply living conditions.

Did they evolve separately on earth? 

They integrated into humanity - and may still be here.

What caused them to have such drastic differences from ordinary human beings?

They are from the second wave of life; separated from it. They are high beings, but in their own development wave in the another reality they were lagging behind.

By Robin Hale | Guest Writer
Paracas is a desert peninsula located within the province of Pisco, in the Ica Region, on the southern coast of Peru. It is here that the Peruvian archaeologist Julio C. Tello made one of the most mysterious discoveries in 1928. During the excavations, Tello discovered a complex and sophisticated cemetery in the rough soil of the Paracas desert.

In the enigmatic tombs, Tello discovered a series of controversial human remains that would forever change how we look at our ancestors and our origins. The bodies in the tombs had some of the largest elongated skulls ever discovered on the planet, called the Paracas skulls. The Peruvian archaeologist discovered more than 300 mysterious skulls that are believed to be at least 3,000 years old.

As if the shape of the skulls wasn’t mysterious enough, a recent DNA analysis performed on some of the skulls presents some of the most enigmatic and incredible results that challenge everything we know about the human evolutionary tree and origin.

The Mystery Behind The Paracas Skulls

Deformation of The Skull: An Ancient Religious Practice

While various cultures around the world performed skull deformation (elongation) practices, the techniques used were different, meaning that the results were not the same either. There are certain South American tribes who ‘tied the skulls of babies’ in order to change their shape, resulting in a drastically elongated skull shape. By applying constant pressure over a long period of time with the use of ancient tools, the tribes managed to perform cranial deformations that are also found in ancient cultures in Africa.

Three drawings of methods were used by Maya peoples to shape a child’s head.

However, while this type of cranial deformation changed the shape of the skull, it did not alter cranial size, weight, or volume, all of which are characteristic features of regular human skulls.

This is precisely where the characteristics of the Paracas skulls turn out to be most interesting. Paracas skulls are anything but ordinary. Paracas skulls are at least 25% larger and up to 60% heavier than the skulls of regular human beings. The researchers strongly believe that these characteristics could not have been achieved with the techniques used by the tribes as some scientists suggest. Not only are they different in weight, but Paracas skulls are also structurally different and only have one parietal plate whereas normal human beings have two.

These strange features have added to the mystery for decades, as researchers still have no idea who these individuals with such elongated skulls once were.

Later Tests Made The Paracas Skulls More Enigmatic

The director of the Paracas Museum of History sent five samples of Paracas skulls for genetic testing, and the results were fascinating. Samples consisting of hair, teeth, skin, and some fragments of skull bones gave incredible details that have fuelled the mystery surrounding these anomalous skulls. The genetic laboratory where the samples were sent was not previously informed of the origin of the skulls to avoid ‘influencing the results’.

Interestingly, mitochondrial DNA, which is inherited from the mother, showed mutations that were unknown to any man, primate, or animal found on planet Earth. The mutations present in the Paracas skull samples suggest that the researchers were dealing with an entirely new ‘human’, very different from Homo sapiens, Neanderthals, and Denisovans. Similar results were found from the tests conducted on Star Child Skull that were discovered around 1930 in a mine tunnel about 100 miles southwest of Chihuahua, Mexico.

The people in the Paracas skulls were reportedly so biologically different than it would have been impossible for humans to interbreed with them. “I’m not sure this fits into the known evolutionary tree,” wrote the geneticist.

Who were these mysterious beings? Did they evolve separately on earth? What caused them to have such drastic differences from ordinary human beings? And is it possible that these beings did not come from the earth? All of these possibilities are theories that cannot be nullified given current evidence. All we know so far is that there are many things that are beyond the understanding of researchers, historians, and scientists. It is possible that after all, the question of whether we are alone in the universe can be answered thanks to the Paracas skulls.

Dom försökte att "duga något till".

Längst ner Jakob Lind. Foto: Futurniture.

Jakob Lind (f. 1966) gör något som mycket få finländare på den segrande sidan hittills gjort från årar 1917-1918.

Läs om boken Jakob Lind, Morfars pistol - Ett Familjedrama, 2020.

Morfars pistol är hans bokdebut.

Morfar hette Hjalmar Frisell, född 1880, död 1967, när dottersonen var ett år gammal. Bland ting han efterlämnade fanns en pistol, en Luger (Parabellum) med årtalet 1918 inristat. 

Han efterlämnade fanns bara en pistol, en Luger (Parabellum).

Morfars pistol handlar om Svenska brigadens krig i Finland  1917-1918. Det var ett krigsäventyr finansierat av det svenska näringslivet, vars rottrådar söker sig ända fram till vår tid. 

En sann berättelse om fiasko, förlorad kärlek och en fåfäng människas försök att duga något till.

Mannen har tagit itu med händelserna i inbördeskrigets länge mörklagda slutskede och nu han redogör öppet för segrarnas brutala hämnd efter striderna.

Det var så att innan Jakob, som DN-kritiker, författaren Ingela Lind planerade att göra ett verk om sin pappa, Hjalmar Frisell. Hon hittade resterna av hans åtta Afrikaår i en gammal koffert – och minnena, frivilliga och ofrivilliga, började återvända.

När han fick ärva sin morfars svarta Luger-pistol, märkt 1918, som han brukade fingra på som barn i Stockholm, började Jakob Lind sitt job.

"På 1970-talet hängde pistolen fortfarande på väggen i mormors hall. Den berömda profilen: en Luger med svart smal pipa, fyrkantigt bakstycke och kolv av trä. Sen hamnade den på botten av golvklockan i vardagsrummet. Ibland fick jag hålla, men aldrig sikta på någon."

Tänk om den hade dödat en människa? På pipan stod årtalet 1918.

"Pistolen hade min morfar haft under inbördeskriget mellan röda och vita i Finland och den här boken handlar om hans upplevelser, men också om skam och något om ära, ett ord som knappt någon förstår längre. "

"Han fick sparken som chef för Svenska brigaden och det som hände förstörde hans liv och många andras. Men det visste jag inget om när jag riktade den svarta pistolen mot spegeln i mormors lägenhet. Ingen i familjen visste."

Morfars pistol är en tragikomisk historia om en fåfäng svensk officers upplevelser under inbördeskriget i Finland 1918. Vilken rik blandning av banbrytande historieskrivning, familjedrama och kanske lite biografiskt mysterium, men finns det minimalistiska historian, som den stylen heter i Finland.

Ett krigsäventyr finansierat av det svenska näringslivet, vars rottrådar söker sig ända fram till vår tid. En sann berättelse om fiasko, förlorad kärlek och en fåfäng människas försök att "duga något till".

Just genom sin ärlighet blir denna bok (408 s.) ändå en vacker levnadsteckning med högt läsvärde, skriver Peter A. Sjögren.

Boken utkom på finska i höstas.

An analysis about Jimmy's seacrets

Hindenburg, 1936.

Led Zeppelin icon Jimmy Page is widely considered to be one of the greatest and most influential guitarists of all time - read this one source. He was/is my greatest ideal - my enjoyable playing style is from him.

"Page isn’t only praised for his brilliance for creating guitar riffs and his varied style, but he’s also the mastermind behind Led Zeppelin’s sound both as a record producer and songwriter. His mastery in music turned the band into unquestionably one of the best bands in rock history."

True. But after the fourth album, no more swinging, no going, no dick (the biggest dick = band's name)

There’s no doubt that the Led Zeppelin legend has a long story to tell if he were to publish a memoir. With an exceptional music career that’s known for its longevity as well as its success, fans would

 "immediately jump on the idea of a Jimmy Page autobiography". 

Oftcourse.

"Unfortunately, Page himself doesn’t agree with this idea for a specific reason. Let’s look at the time when the guitarist candidly opened up about having a book about his life as well as his reason for keeping it unpublished until he dies."

I know those reasons - e.g. copyright violations and Satanism.

And there will be some so called Lori Maddox. She was, amazingly, just 14 when she met Page, though Page did what he could to keep the relationship hidden. Even in the "swingin' Seventies" this kind of thing could put you in jail. But with no TMZ or Us Weekly, Page got away with it. He eventually dumped Maddox for the of-legal-age Bebe Buell.

American journalist Ellen Sander has described life with Led Zeppelin as “like being inside cages at a zoo where you get to smell the shit first-hand". 

The same was said by Matti Laipio, a promoter employed by a Finnish record company, but that Page was a good guy, the only one of them.

"Since the Led Zeppelin icon belongs to that minority, Jimmy Page was asked a question about one of his previous statements regarding his future autobiography during a 2015 interview with Channel 4 News. When the interviewer suggested the possibility of him not wanting a memoir because he’s afraid of being sued, the rocker confirmed this truth but cleared the misunderstanding in his statement."

Jimmy Page with 17 year old Cameron Crowe
for Led Zeppelin’s and also Cameron’s first Rolling Stone
 cover story.

"In his own words, Page made it clear that he had a good reason for his decision to publish a memoir after he passed away. Apparently, the musician wants to release a book posthumously due to the possible legal problems he can face but not because he fears being sued."

Actually, it's pretty fucking much the same thing. The charges are read in court.

Jimmy Page stated that he has to wait "until he dies so he can deliver a real story since he wants to be able to freely express himself in his memoir without the possible restrictions. It seems like the rocker doesn’t want to restrain himself for the sake of just releasing a memoir and made a clever move by postponing it until his death."

According to Page’s statement about his autobiography all will be opened:

It went this kind of ways:

“I said what I would do is do a book to be released or published posthumously. That’s what I said. I said that for good reason because I wouldn’t just want to get caught up in legal wranglings. I just wanna be able to do a book, say what it was, and then let it be released. That’s all. So, I don’t want to get bogged down in any details of unpleasantness or whatever. I just want to tell the real story.”

I need your story, Jimmy.

Otherwise,

Frank Sinatra also refused the biography "too much of a thing - you don't want to remember."

B.T.W.

Perhaps part of same type of causes and violent crimes.

There you will find Jim Morrison in the middle.

They all are "criminals".'

Remember this one

Jimmy Velvet about Elvis Presley at an Elvis Presley concert in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at Sports on Arena April 5, 1957:

"Elvis' show was unbelievable, I had never seen anything like it, I mean Jacksonville wasn't anything like this. There were so many kids there climbing over each other it was amazing. The screaming you never heard anything, the screaming never stopped, but he didn't have to hear very much, he felt it."

Ben Weisman went to the saturday evening 8.00pm performance : 

"Elvis gave a concert in Philadelphia: the place was mobbed, girls with their feet dangling down from the balconies-everybody going crazy. "

"As a matter of fact while I was sitting there, a tomato went hurling through the air-Elvis was on stage, and it hit and broke the strap on his guitar. "

"Elvis was furious! He stopped his show and said 'Hey,wait a minute! If somebody's got a problem up there, why don't you just come down here and we'll work it out'. Elvis was going to take the guy on, but whoever threw it, would't come down from the balcony. He sure got bood."

The Sunday Bulletin reported: 

'Elvis' face darkened into a frown, but he managed to finish his song 'All Shook Up', then with his eyes flashing, he pointed to Scotty Moore and addressed the crowd. "

"He got egg on his guitar, Whoever threw that will never make the Yankees. After a moment's pause, which did not cool his ire, the singer again faced the crowd"

"Most of you people came here to enjoy the show, the guy who threw the egg will never make it. I mean it, jack, we're just trying to put on a nice show'. "

The guilty were William Quinn, 20 New York who said 'We don't like Elvis, but we went to see what he is like'. William B Oates, 21 of Brooklyn, James Stark, 20 of Greenport, New York and John Eidt, 20 of New York City, who spent the night in jail.

Mannerheim sa till om Hitler: ”Vad i helvete gör han här!?”

Se vilka jävla stora mikrofoner som fanns på hatthyllan.

När marskalk C.G.E. Mannerheim började att fira sin 75-årsdag den 4 juni 1942 fick han besök av Adolf Hitler. 

Bara en vecka tidigare Mannerheim hörde att Hitler ska komma till sin födelsedagsfest.

Det var strängt förbjudet att banda in Hitlers privata samtal. Rundradions ljudtekniker Thor Damen lyckades ändå kasta upp en mikrofon på hatthyllan i salongstågvagnen där Adolf Hitler och Mannerheim samtalade.

Hitlers samtal i Finland - inbandat i smyg

Du kan hör Hitlers samtal, som bandats in i hemlighet. 

Bandet blev ändå kvar hos finländarna, och det bevarades i en kartongask. Samtalet är det enda kända dokument där man hör Hitler tala inofficiellt.

Hitler mainitsee myös, että Neuvostoliiton ulkoministeri (Molotov) piti Suomea uhkana maansa olemassaololle. Sant, men på grund av Hitelr själv och Finlands nära nazistiska kopplingar.

Bandningen slutar mitt i en fras eftersom inspelningen av samtalet måste avbrytas när en tysk officer märkte mikrofonen. 

Lysna det.

A rendering 3D digital billboard

Designed by District, the elevated tank is actually a massive anamorphic illusion:
a Massive Wave Crashes in a Seoul Aquarium

The Part of the World’s Largest Anamorphic Illusion in the City of Seoul.

The digital media company created the public project utilizing the world’s largest advertising screen that spans 80.1 x 20.1 meters (via Design You Trust). As shown in the video, the deceptive aquarium looms over the outdoor area and splashes repeatedly into the sides. 
An enormous aquarium with perpetually crashing waves has popped up amidst an urban landscape in South Korea, wow, however don’t expect to hear the water sloshing around if you walk by. 

Finland was the third in the world and the first in Europe to give women the right to vote

Here comes an ancient suffragett with her own ways to move.

This kind of a female supporter, could been militant, of women's right to vote in the early 20th century.

A suffragette in London on a motorised scooter, 1916. Lady Florence Norman used her Autoped to scoot to her offices where she worked as an administrator in central London.

My grandfather's mother was one suffragette.

How was the Finnish suffrage reform achieved?

It has been assumed that suffragentts in Kuopio, exspecely writer Minna Canth (my grandfather's mother worked in hers shop) was a force behind the appeal that corresponded to the views of the liberal bourgeois women's right movement. Although the appeal was endorsed at the legal committee, the majority decided to reject it, which gave rise to a dissenting opinion being added to the decision.

The proposition of the Senate, issued for the 1904. Adoption of the eligibility to stand for election divided opinions, and not a single word was spoken of a unicameral Parliament.

However they got the all right to vote and to stand for election in Finland in 1906.

Finland was the third in the world and the first in Europe to give women the right to vote in 1906 as part of universal and equal suffrage. 

At the same time, women were also allowed the right to stand for election, and in 1907 the world's first female parliamentarians were elected to parliament.

"For the first time, I am speaking to my sisters as a free woman,"

said Lucina Hagman in November 1906.

Sheer fascism

"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters," 

Donald Trump said in Iowa in January 2016

In this ways Trump has repeatedly pointed to the loyalty of his supporters.

The situation is unique in American history but hardly unusual elsewhere. From the fascist years in Europe to the age of military coups in Africa and Latin America, periods of antidemocratic, strongmen rulers have been a feature of political systems. 

Almost everything Trump has done has come straight from the authoritarian playbook. Every dictator, for example, has built on the accomplishments of his predecessors.

New York University professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat makes a powerful argument that on the scary road to fascism, America just came perilously close to the point of no return.

Like all his role models, Ben-Ghiat sees in Trump:

“The men, women and children he governs have value in his eyes only insofar as they … fight his enemies and adulate him publicly. Propaganda lets him monopolize the nation’s attention, and virility comes into play as he poses as the ideal take-charge man.”

By the way the term witch hunt that Trump uses was also used by Berlusconi; it’s also used by Recep Tayyip Erdogan. It’s very successful at getting people to feel protective of them. On one hand, these macho men are constantly portraying themselves as strong and alpha male, but through the victimhood thing, they try to appeal to people’s care for them, and people feel very protective of them.

Now this kind of a new wave of such autocrats is cresting, with Hungary, Poland, Ukraine, Romania and arguably India joining the ranks of Turkey, Belarus and Russia in having governance that revolves around one man. 

Even in China, Xi Jinping has brought personalistic rule to new heights. He has been appointed a lifelong principal.

“Just as Hitler watched Mussolini’s actions carefully,” 

Ben-Ghiat said, 

“so did Gaddafi learn from Lt Col Gamal Abdul Nasser’s 1952 overthrow of the monarchy in Egypt.” 

Then in the 1980s and 90s, Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich served as models for Europeans looking for 

“a more radical form of conservatism”. 

Gingrich’s 1994 Contract with America was echoed a year later by the Front National, with its “contract for France with the French”. Berlusconi’s Contract with Italians followed six years later.

The cult of victimhood is a fundamental part of the strongman. 

And Benito Mussolini started it off by this one manner. They don’t represent their people like democratic politicians. They embody the people. They inhabit the people. They are the bearer of the people’s humiliations their sorrows. 

Adolf Hitler did this expertly and that’s why, people felt, in his speeches, he was screaming out the pain that all of Germany felt. He was embodying Germany’s victimhood. The most successful strongmen have all known how to do this.

`cause we are motorcyclists,

we know life.

There will be more then 14 reasons like freedom, passion, etc. why we ride.

"Anything that gets your blood racing is probably worth doing. For many bikers riding a motorcycle is not a hobby or need, it’s Passion. And often all they want in life is to travel to every corner of the world on their motorcycle."

And:

"There is a deep fire in their belly for riding which will make them achieve impossible miles, paths & terrains. Bikers will not mind devoting a good amount of time and income for their motorcycles. In the hierarchy of needs, for them it’s motorcycling that stays on the top. "

Sure.

Do you you ever never noticed that the motorcyclists (English, Swedish, French..) will always have a gender to their bike? Guys will refer to their machine as She and lady riders refer to their bike as He. It’s because the relationship between a bike and its owners is not about ownership but about love with like some fuckable human.
