During hurricane Harvey that hit Texas in 2017, there was major flooding in many locations. What I was going to write used the word “ludicrous", but I will restrain this to “quaint”, to describe the rescue boats that were flying the American flag — as if the safety of people depended on the American dream in which Americans are American first, otherwise why bother exist unless one is American. And the American dream is embodied in the American flag. It is a symbol of belonging to America. We might be drowning in American induced rain-water, but the flag is flying proudly like a beacon of patriotic hopeful godly American pride of American existence.

let’s make a useless detour into a "historical hurricane", just for fun….

----------

Gabriel Harvey, (born 1550? —died 1630) was an English writer and friend of the Elizabethan poet Edmund Spenser; the latter celebrated their friendship in The Shepheardes Calender (1579) through the characters of Hobbinol (Harvey) and Colin Clout (Spenser). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shepheardes_Calender

Harvey was also noted for his tenacious participation in literary feuds.

The son of a prosperous rope maker, Harvey matriculated at Christ College, Cambridge, in 1566, received his bachelor’s degree in 1570, and became a fellow at Pembroke Hall (later Pembroke College) that same year. At Pembroke, Harvey became an intimate (sexual?) friend of Spenser. Edmund Spenser (1552/1553 – 13 January 1599) was an English poet best known for The Faerie Queene, an epic poem and fantastical allegory celebrating the Tudor dynasty and Elizabeth I. Spenser is recognized as one of the major craftsmen of budding Modern English verse and is considered one of the great poets in the English language.

In 1578 Harvey became a fellow of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and began to study civil law, but in 1585 he failed to be elected master of Trinity Hall and was not admitted to a doctor’s degree there. He completed his doctorate in civil law at Oxford University. He later fought Thomas Nashe in a long-running pamphlet war, which had its roots in Harvey’s brother Richard, an Anglican minister, having been satirized by Robert Greene. 

Robert Greene, (July 1558?—died Sept. 3, 1592) was one of the most popular English prose writers of the later 16th century and Shakespeare’s most successful predecessor in blank-verse romantic comedy. He was also one of the first professional writers and among the earliest English autobiographers. 

The term sarcasm (Sarcasmus) is first recorded in English in The Shepheardes Calender (October)...

Gabriel Harvey thus replied to Greene in 1592 with Foure Letters and Certaine Sonnets, which included a satirical account of Greene’s death. 

Nashe took up his pen in Greene’s defence… 

There is a Doctor and his fart that have kept a foule stinking stirre in Paules Churchyard. I crie him mercy. I slaundered him, he is scarce a Doctor till he hath done his Acts: this dodipoule, this didopper, this professed poetical braggart hath railed upon me, without wit or art, in certain four pennyworth of Letters and three farthing-worth of Sonnets; nor do I mean to present him and Shakerley to the Queens foule-taker for coach-horses; for two that draw more equallie in one Oratoriall yoke of vain-glorie, there is not vnder heauen… Why thou arrant butter whore, thou cotqueane & scrattop of scoldes, wilt thou neuer leaue afflicting a dead Carcasse, continually read the rethorik lecture of Ramme Allie? a wispe, a wipse, rippe, rippe, you kitchin-stuffe wrangler !

                                Thomas Nashe

Harvey came off worse in the ensuing literary combat, which continued until 1599, when the archbishop of Canterbury ordered each man’s satires to be burned. What a kill-joy….

We could not say this beautiful stuff about anyone alive, could we, without having to front up at some petty courts? These were the days when famous people could have fun with words, in pamphlets and books…. Now, you can't point a finger in the direction of a dead tree without being sued for being a pervert...

So as one turns to books we should visit the “libraries”…  we soon discover that the Woke and LGBTi adventures started a long time ago, though the “modern Wokey" would not know…

Unlearned men of books assume the care

As eunuchs are the guardians of the fair.

As one should know, eunuchs are human creatures who go a long way back… 

The appearance in this 17th century England was but a passing parade of satire about THE FIRST library manager who may have appeared a bit effeminate but knew books very well.

So what about eunuchs? The bible tells us:

Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.  

They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 

He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 

And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. 

His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with wife, it is not good to marry. 

But he said unto them, All cannot receive this saying, save to whom it is given. 

For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive, let him receive.

— Matthew 19:6-12 King James Version

Makes senseth? No a bitth...

The idea of multi-sexual dudes, desexed angels and fondling dudessses is not new to god…. What is new "nowadaze" is that your sons and daughters could be indoctrinated in kindergarten to become eunuchs, lesbians, gay, nanosexual, multisuxesed and bizarrsuxed without knowing the meaning of life (I know it’s a difficult one…).

The age of reason is said to be 7. This is not the age of knowing. Seven is the age when most kids discover they have been lied to: Santa Claus does NOT exist…. fairies have no wings….

The age of knowing does not start before 25 for “males” and about 24 for “females”. Meanwhile old foggy kookies like Gus still know nothing… 

So we have to come to terms that we make mistakes, but we should not allow anyone else to MAKE OUR mistakes before knowing — meaning that some people, eager to be helpful or wanting to make money from us, will influences our choices, beyond our needs or tendencies, despite the weirdness of our uncertain species. 

They can nonetheless write sarcastic impressions of us, which we don’t need. But that’s okay, we know better.

Meanwhile, things are not going to improve.

Global warming is going to hit us when the least expected.

Many natural processes are already responding to the infusion of whatever chemicals humans have added into the balancing equation of atmosphere and oceans. 1000 year storms are now happening every ten years or less.

This leads to major industrial accidents. 

Other major causes of industrial accidents are “maintenance operations” that demand the shut down of 24/7 processes and “maintenance/repairs" of olden structures with "modern technologies".   

Amongst these we can place Chernobyl and the fire that engulfed Notre Dame….

Chernobyl burnout was due to a “controlled shut down that went wrong”. Notre-Dame fire was due to the usage of HOT tools (welding and cutting equipment) in an old structure FULL OF DUST. In both cases, the management of operations were CARELESS. 

Other industrial accident are due to global warming. THESE ARE GOING TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN because many industrial sites are not “CLIMATE CHANGE PROOF”.

Presently if Biden-the Dip was genuine about his “global warming being the most whatever threat to the planet”, he would stop feeding weapons to Ukraine — weapons which at manufacture and usage are destroying one thousand billion times our vision of recycling toilet paper roll cardboard cores to save the planet. 

Thus Biden-the-Bidet is a fake, a stupid nasty old fool who has a smile like a cactus sitting on a clown face. Yes I know, Biden-the-Bum is not all together, but his cannon merchants are pushing the shit out of his arse… I mean his brain, through a teleprompter.

So, we can't expect much more than patriotic flags of America — on the US quest to own the planet — but a few more global-warming unfriendly bombs on the recalcitrants for another ten years or so?...

Will RUSSIA PLACE AN ULTIMATUM to THE US ACT of SUPPLYING WEAPONS TO UKRAINE being considered AS A DECLARATION OF WAR?… This is on the cards, though Russia is trying HARD to avoid this possibility by serious diplomatic talk with some EU leaders. Hello? ANYONE NOT BEING ASLEEP? Biden is pissing in his pants with joy at the prospect of annoying Putin, dismissing the possibility of the US being bombed… Wake up, US Empire, PLEASE!….

If worse comes to the worst, global warming won’t have time to bother humanity.

FREE JULIAN ASSANGE NOW(((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))!!!
