Ces Malades qui nous gouvernent, ter(re) et Cie

Edition personnelle du Tableau "Narcisse" (Narciso)
du peintre italien
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, dit Le Caravage
Peint vers 1599.
 


A une époque c’est leur foie, leur bile, leur pancréas, en un mot : leur bilan de plaquettes qui inquiétait.


Leur sénilité, leur alzheimer, leur parkinson, tous ces bobos du 3ème âge. Euh, ça c’était de l’époque des «Malades qui nous gouvernent ». Puis, des «Nouveaux» malades qui nous gouvernent. Depuis, on dit 4ème âge, vous comprenez, avec le temps, DHEA et autres allumez le feu, on évolue. Et comme on dit, hein, « d’âge en âge, on ne fait que changer de folie ».



De nos jours des entartrés vous expliquent qu’ils sont fiers (mamma mia, écoute moi le niveau, le K-niveau du petit poisson qui flotte dans le courant) de « tenir » face à une bimbo plus ou moins défraîchie, grâce à de la bleue en écoutant la RAI.


La, pas du…


Hein. Note la différence de civilisation


Des presque jeunes cons. En somme.


T’as des enfarinés à la crinière surréaliste. Pompadour qui aurait fait la joie de Jan Steen, une pantoufle rouge au pied. C’était d’un temps où l’on savait rigoler. Ah, ça …


T’as des fous du roi virés pour reconnaître, Ciel, qu’ils sont fous… de Royauté qui se la font larme à l’œil en s’intronisant sur des gamins qui grillent comme des mômes que l’on fusille au karcher à balles.


T’as le genre Miss Piggy qui se paie une bonne conscience collective pour tous, tout en laissant cramer le péquin à moustache ou basané qui venait peupler de son foutu kebap les zones où les locaux, devenus loco-loco, se suicidaient dans leur ville emmurée par Staline.


T’as le Putin qui ne donne pas envie de jouer avec les mots, et les maux que tous se donnent pour soutenir tout ce qui fout en l’air le monde. Divisent, déchirent. Tous, et j'en passe et des meilleurs. Ou pire.


T’as tous ces minables qui ferment leur gueule quand il faudrait l’ouvrir, t’as cette presse de merde qui confond enfants sous les bombes et repaires de terroristes, ou repaire d’où l’on explose des corps et restaurant typique de montagne. (La perle de toute une vie à écumer les écrits, ouais. Le Monde, dixit. )


Et puis, l’autre jour, en lisant wikileaks, et plutôt en observant la réaction des malades, c’était tellement absurde, que cela m’est tombé dessus comme une crise de diAgnostique Global.


Les nouveaux, nouveaux malades qui nous gouvernent ?

C’est simple, leur pathologie est de l’ordre psychiatrique.

J’hésitais entre anankastique (compulsions obsessives, rigide et têtu, besoin de soumettre les autres à sa vision des choses) , histrionique ( besoin d’être toujours au cœur de l’attention, et comportement excessivement théâtral) paranoaique (idée d’une pieuvre lui voulant dumal, image déformée de sa propre importance, combattif au nom de ses propres droits au-dessus de tout, rancunier de manière pathologique), schizoïde (froideur émotionnelle, préoccupation excessive à sa propre introspection), antisocial, borderline (le fourre-tout des psys) ... j’ai réalisé que la réponse est bien plus simple


Un étang


Une image


Un étang vaseux d’être remué


Une image qui devient troubleTrouble de Narcisse


Narcisses, juste con. Et même pas beau à la fois.


Images impossibles à fuir en un miroir de clichés à la suite de source qui fuit.

Les nouveaux Malades qui nous gouvernent ?


Narcisses qui gouvernent ….


notre idée de leur vase.







vieux bouquin scanné de la biblio à bibi qui se demande pourquoi plus ça change moins ça change


Ouais, l’Etat Spectacle, quand on a les ficelles qui se tapent la malle, c’est moins rigolo.

wikileaks : drops of intelligence




Wikileaks ?
At a time, people used brain and facts.Nowadays, people use facts like a 3 years old baby munching puzzle pieces, a lot a lot a lot of pieces, sucked, eaten and badly digested, blurped in a strange gray puree.

It's fantastic to read these cables
I didn't know United States had such beautiful brains (erm, I mean, reading their kind of press, one may wonder, erm, sorry)
I hope they become journalists, when they leave their job far away from home, and want to settle down somewhere.

I was reading and an extraordinary thing came to my mind waow...
They KNOW what they speak about
They KNOW their subjects... (subjets. Funny, I know)
It seems the time of translators helping twist things in the sole name of hidden agendas is over (1) .
Agendas are still here, of course. And this sort of typical pathological hate, too. Just read some comments you can find pre-wikileaks, even... and smile. It's just so usual... (2)
No, of course, agendas, are what they are. This is what "politics" is about, but there seems to be a more balanced view on things. And a real need to understand the other point of view. (to hit him better, where it hurts, is Politis, too)
So, waow.To read this made my day. :)
Erm, yes, I don't play "scoop" with absurd speculations. I just read what I could. Not much, for the moment. But what I read was Simple. Up to the point. Clear. No time lost at useless blabla. It makes me remember my old "chef". The one who made Korea's war as a war correspondant and told me never to mix "journalism" and "comments"... :) (I'm a mother commenting the global shit nowadays. Just now, I'm preparing a quinces gelée according to my grandma's receipe)
What a supreme pleasure to read this !
Even if there is strange editing. Of course
Even if once again one wonders how the most interesting country of the world (statistically... see image ) is dismissed by all like a 3rd class person on a ship where everybody is so "brilliiiont"
Even if, of course, real sensible matters, don't pass through embassies, but intelligence services ... and even if this may explain some "funny" silences... it's an interesting experience to read people (these guys and women who work for the States) who, strangely, seem to have less an AGENDA of Crunching the other, than some little Class Z commentators believing it takes a tie and a prompter to be a "journalist" and report decently facts, or believe it takes some yellow decor and You Tube to play emo-tional... commentator. Pff
So mainly I would resume like this : wikileaks proved that even when they have nothing to say some people, some propagandists (you want names ? really ? I don't really want to enter in their century old game ) invent absurd idiocies and shit funnily on the same shoes as always.
In this sense, wikileaks is beautiful as it gives the exact measure of some hateful channels.
I loved the experience.
 
I love people who know what they speak about.
As simple as that.
And well, it gives me hope....
Yes
Hope. In one word.
Above all these scheming little havoc lovers , here and there, passing their bogus messages of hate, their twisted way to see this or that, to read some basic good sense, is really, cool.
It's such a change coming from this part of the world !
I have read portraits that made me laugh out loud, resumés of situation full of "intelligence" in the good sense of the word.
And all this made me remember my youth. When some newspapers were cited as examples of simple good sense, presenting facts, background... and made me dream of an ideal of Truth to pass on and attain. An idea of Justice. And Respect. For all.
Sour-sweet thing to find this, here.

(1) Like secretary and translator Andonian helping from 1913 to 1916 US Ambassador Morgenthau's view on Turks (he didn't speak any Turkish), for instance, and demonising them, so United States would enter in WWI and fight "The Beast" for instance.
.
(2) About one presumed leak :
US helped PKK (known fact) "but" Turkey helped Al-Kaida that I could read, mostly on the lovely sources of always (a pathological psychiatric problem at this level)
About Links with Terrorist organisations. Who helps whom ?
And ... "accessory" thought for the arrogant lesson givers : Who dies ?

Some background about Al-Kaida and its links on the ground, in Turkey :
"In addition to KADEK, radical Islamist groups such as IBDA-C and Germany-based Federated Islamic State of Anatolia were also excluded from the EU's terror list, updated by the European Council."
Turkish Daily News 21.09.2003 (sorry my 2 first blogs disappeared, puF... so it's an old written source)
Note the date. It was just before November, Istanbul 2003.
Turkey was accused and condemned, too, by Europe and other Human Rights Organisations for putting in prison these adorable people.
After the bombings, and proof of the links to al-kaida of these sweet people that UE protected, and in the name of whom had taken Turkey in front of Court of Human Rights, IBDA was put on their list of bad boys
"The Council of the European Union (the 15 EU governments) decided on 22 December to update - by written procedure - to update the European Union list of terrorist organisations and persons linked to terrorist activities, which was first adopted in December 2001 in the wake of the terrorist attacks on 11 September and last updated on 27 June 2003. These updates were published on 24 December.
The changes to the 1st list (inside EU) are that seven members of ETA have been removed from the list of individuals (18 members of ETA remain on the list) and Great Islamic Warriors Front (IBDA-C) in Turkey have been added to the organisations"
It's easy to put on or off names on a list. It's not a matter of life or death, seen from Paris, London, Madrid or New York, where the deathes that count live.
And who cares if some nations are constantly trashed ?

Who is linked to what, and who Backed WHOM ? Sorry for the links, I should boycott this, but as we live in a time where people love to see pages and pixels... and proof some idiot in a great position said this or that.......
.
"Intelligence" is the word the world lacks mostly.
No wonder that people seeing societies burying themselves under tons of informations but unable to become Man or Woman, Human enough, some people freak out and turn back their heels to all this.
Intelligence is what this world misses most
And it's such a shame.
To know the other, is the beginning of understanding the other. To understand the other, is to love the other, or at least, make it impossible to hate him.

Like an Icon of Foly Land

Photo : film-stop of a report in the Jordan Valley
made by Nour Odeh, aljazeera




Telle une gravure d'un autre temps,
Une icône d'une toile de maître
une déesse issue de cette terre qui fut dans les premiers lieux
à dédier des sanctuaires aux nombreuses déesses vénérées alors
Elle se dresse avec cette énergie du désespoir.
Pour la troisième fois, sa maison a été détruite sur décision de l'Etat israélien
70 ans...
Née d'un autre monde, d'avant toute frontière,
et toute barrière, de fer ou béton,
elle est une fois de plus au milieu du chaos.
Femme de cette culture qui n'a besoin, pour exister, de marquer sa présence que d'un feu de camp où poser une théière, et non de coups de feu ou bulldozer, elle dit :
"On n'a plus rien.
Même plus de thé"
De ce thé, symbole d'hospitalité de tout temps
"Même plus d'huile, rien"
C'est à Jéricho, dans cette même région, que fut découvert une jarre ayant contenu de l'huile d'olive. Il y a 8000 ans. 6000 BC.
Les femmes étaient alors des déesses
Et l'huile, l'or de la terre ...
Et le feu ? Le feu il servait à préparer un thé, aussi doux que les couleurs de la terre, de sa robe, pour tout voyageur égaré
C'est le monde, oui, le monde qui est bien perdu.


Photo : extrait de "Chronology of women's history" de Kirstin Olsen


Born out of any concept of frontiers, barriers

encountered the so-called civilisation...

Even "no more tea"... she says...

Tea, the basis and symbol of hospitality...

No more tea

And no more oil.

Of this oil that people loved to use, here.

Just here.

An old recipient, 8000 years old, (6000 BC) which had contained olive oil,

was found, just in this region.

A region where women were Goddesses,

where olive oil was the gold of Earth

Before Paradise was Lost to become Holy, Foly Land

Particules of light in the night


http://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/astronomy/auroramax/default.asp


Science is beautiful...
and since yesterday night, watchers of the sky can open their internet window to gaze to the magic of the northern lights, and observe their slow dancing

The Canadian Space Agency on Monday launched an online observatory streaming the aurora borealis live over the Internet.

"Armchair skywatchers everywhere can now discover the wonder of the northern lights live on their home computer screen," Canadian Space Agency president Steve MacLean said in a statement to AFP."We hope that watching the dance of the northern lights will make you curious about the science of the sky and the relationship we have with our own star, the sun."
On their site you can see Auroras live, like a web cam on the sky, you can inform yourself thanks to a discovery chapter. Learn that "Auroras occur, when charged particles from the Sun collide with gases in Earth's upper atmosphere, resulting in a ribbon of lights dancing across the night sky." You can explore the sky, see images. And this for all sort of ages.

"Science is beautiful", as they say. In the warmth of ones bed, at a kitchen table with ones laptop, among residues of breakfast, to feel like under some northern sky, in winter, watching particules of light dancing ... Magic.
Magic exists.
In the sky. Even if nowhere else on this planet full of technology, turning everything to dust, at least, in the sky, dust becomes particules of light. Dancing.

Act of Burning Books

Gustave Doré, illustrating the Bible, Eustache illustrating the same event in Ephesus, NY's way to deal with "Vice", Berlin's way to deal with "improper" ways (jewish or other) to think. One could add the Spanish Inquisition and the Qurans burning, but very quickly, people were burned too, so...

From Paul and Ephesus in the Book of Acts … and Act of Burning Books, to some Pastor of Florida, the practice of burning books, which are considered « evil » is sadly common. Burning books, burning Holy Qurans during Inquisition, then burning witches, and then Jews after having taken first, golden teeth, that may help to continue the mission as like old mayan’s gold helped the genocides .… all this, is a story of slapping cheeks. And a story of arrogance, believing that some should deserve a white check to hurt, again and again ...

Should Holy Books be burned ?

Should books be burned ?


As Heinrich Heine wrote :
Where they burn books, at the end they also burn people.

Almansor :

We heard that the frightening Ximenes
In middle of the Market, on the way to Granada –
Put the Koran in the flammes !

Hassan :

It was only the beginning, where they burn Books,
At the end they also burn people.

(in Almansor : a Tragedy – Heinrich Heine - published in 1923)

Heinrich Heine’s books were burnt by Goering and Nazis, too…


About Gustave Doré, Eustache's illustrations of the Bible :

It's about Paul in Ephesus, and the The Sons of Sceva (19:11-20)

16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, mastered all of them, and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17 And this became known to all residents of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks; and fear fell upon them all; and the name of the Lord Jesus was extolled.
18 Many also of those who were now believers came, confessing and divulging their practices.
19 And a number of those who practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all; and they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20 So the word of the Lord grew and prevailed mightily.


So when I hear about :
Pastor weighing plans to burn Qurans amid U.S. warnings

http://edition.cnn.com/2010/US/09/07/florida.quran.burning/?hpt=Sbin#fbid=PhnQNVRSUes&wom=false

And when I hear about cheeks... it seems to me that there is a never-ending history of primitive christians burning pagans's books, jewish or muslim books ! And then, on the market, in front of Goya's horrified eyes and sorrow, tortured, burned, or in front of our eyes, covered with napalm or other unhuman bombs ! So when are people going to cut the crap and look at themselves ?


(...)CHETRY: What about turn thy cheek? I mean, this is- you know, Christianity at its most- you know, refined. It's that you just don't act out in violence. You don't act out in any manner of hate, that you turn thy cheek, that you don't rise to the nastiness or the level of payback that your perceived enemies do. I mean, isn't this the exact opposite of what Christ taught all of us to be and to do? /
JONES: I agree with you exactly. I think, most of the time, we as Christians are indeed called to turn the other cheek. I believe that, most of the time, talk and diplomacy is the correct way. But I also think that once in a while- I think you see that in the Bible- there are incidents where enough is enough and you stand up. Jesus went into the temple and he threw all of the money-changers out. He did not ask them to leave. He was not peaceful. He was at that time very, very upset. Even when this very close friend and disciple, Peter- even when he tried to stop Jesus from fulfilling his will- from fulfilling the father's will, Jesus called him the devil. Jesus called the religious leaders of that time serpents and snakes. So I agree that, most of the time, diplomacy and turning the other cheek is the proper way, but sometimes not.
CHETRY: Are you- you don't care- I mean, yes or no- you don't really care if you're offending Muslims by burning the Koran, right? That doesn't bother you if they're offended?
JONES: We realize that we are definitely offending them, yes.
CHETRY: Okay. So I want to ask you this: does it bother you though-
JONES: But we actually think that Muslims should-CHETRY: I just want to ask you this: does it bother you that the military and the military leaders believe that by doing this, you are very likely putting the risk- the lives of U.S. soldiers at risk in Muslim countries? David Petraeus, the general- this is what he said: 'Their actions will in fact jeopardize the safety of young men and women who are serving in uniform over here, and also undermine the very mission that they're trying to accomplish.' Are you willing to have the blood of soldiers on your hands by this demonstration?
JONES: Yeah, we are actually very, very concerned, of course, and we are taking the general's words very serious. We are continuing to pray about the action on September 11th. We are indeed very concerned about it. It's just that we don't know- I mean, how long do we back down? When do we stop backing down?(..)

This old biblical tradition, this Pastor wants to practice proves, if it was needed, that fanatics interpreting their holy books should not have the right to express themselves outside of their holy places. And this principle is universaly respectfull

dort wo man Bücher ...

Alors, comme cela, ce soir, je lis que d'une tranchée, quelque part dans ce pays où les hommes sont en pièces, les femmes en lambeaux et les enfants d'une forme aléatoire, quelque part dans ce pays aux couleurs tendres de Sienne, de jaune de Venise, d'ocre et de terre cuite, un général s'inquiète pour ses troupes. Le général David Petraeus en Afghanistan, a dit que le fait de brûler les livres saints de l'Islam, pourraient causer "des problèmes significatifs" aux troupes outre-mer.

On le conçoit. Quoi que fondamentalement, le fait même de se trouver sur place, n'est pas trop bien vu. Alors je regarde un bout de CNN, je lis qu'une lectrice de téléprompteur a ainsi interviewé ce pasteur qui prouve que même dans un pays ne souffrant pas d'être de l'autre bord de la fracture numérique, informative, imagée, l'éducation laisse plus qu'à désirer.

De voir une chaîne de telle écoute poser des questions aussi hallucinantes que : mais nous, sieur, n'est-on pas, en super chrétiens, sssieur, des braves gens qui ne faisons pas ça, hein ssieur ? Même que les autres sont cons, hein, nous on est gentils, non ?

(je n'éxagère même pas, sans une bonne Efes, je pourrais même déprimer, tiens)

Oui, parce qu'évidemment... d'abord, je pense, on ne peut pas, ne pas penser, à cette nuit d'enfer ...




10 mai 1933 ... Des livres représentant "l'esprit anti-allemand" seront brûlés par les Nazis, en présence de Joseph Goebbels, ministre pour l'Education populaire et la Propagande. 20 000 livres sont brûlés. Oeuvres d'auteurs allemands ou étrangers, juifs ou non. Parmi ces livres : Heinrich Heine.

Celui qui avait écrit : Là où l'on brûle les livres, on finit également par brûler les êtres humains"

"dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen.”


Il avait écrit cela en 1821, par rapport à un évènement à Grenade, qui sous les ordres d'un Cardinal en pleine inquisition, consistera à brûler ... un Coran.

Dans ses lignes qui sont une ode à la tolérance, Almansor partage avec un autre musulman, Hassan, ses inquiétudes concernant l'occupation chrétienne ...

Almansor :
Nous avons entendu que le terrible Ximenes
Au milieu du marché, pour Grenade -
j'en ai les lèvres sèches - un Coran
dans le feu ont jeté !
Hassan :
C'était un simple exemple, là où l'on brûle les livres
on finit par brûler également les êtres humains

Source :
Almansor:
Wir hörten daß der furchtbare Ximenes,
Inmitten auf dem Markte, zu Granada –
Mir starrt die Zung im Munde – den Koran
In eines Scheiterhaufens Flamme warf!
Hassan:
Das war ein Vorspiel nur, dort wo man Bücher

Verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen

Des livres paiens, brûlés par des chrétiens, débarquant de toute leur superbe à Ephèse... on s'en souvient, même sans gorgée d'Efes...

Actes (19, 8-20) - Saint Paul à Ephèse


Ac 19:16-
Et se jetant sur eux, l'homme possédé de l'esprit mauvais les maîtrisa les uns et les autres et les malmena si bien que c'est nus et couverts de blessures qu'ils s'échappèrent de cette maison.
Ac 19:17-
Tous les habitants d'Éphèse, Juifs et Grecs, surent la chose. La crainte alors s'empara de tous et le nom du Seigneur Jésus fut glorifié.
Ac 19:18-
Beaucoup de ceux qui étaient devenus croyants venaient faire leurs aveux et dévoiler leurs pratiques.
Ac 19:19-
Bon nombre de ceux qui s'étaient adonnés à la magie apportaient leurs livres et les brûlaient en présence de tous. On en estima la valeur : cela faisait cinquante mille pièces d'argent.
Ac 19:20-
Ainsi la parole du Seigneur croissait et s'affermissait puissamment.



La Prédication de saint Paul à Éphèse
Eustache LE SUEUR

Et après, quoi ?

Un mémorial ?




"Bibliothek" de Micha Ullman
dans la rue, à Berlin
en mémoire à 1933



Etrangement, il n'y a peut-être qu'en Allemagne, que ce souvenir donne encore l'impression de sentir le sol frémir sous ses pas, l'impression d'un grand vide, d'une vacuité terrible de l'esprit
de l'annihilation de l'autre.
L'autre que l'on tue, du bout des allumettes
d'abord
ou en communion
par delà les océans
Alors, comme ça, le général s'inquiète
Quel monde étrange ...où les hommes d'armes pensent à l'âme
quand les hommes de Dieu, sont des connards sauvages

Israel's piracy

An armada of Love to Gaza



Maintenant ... Now
Toutes les images, all Images, film stop of :
http://www.livestream.com/insaniyardim



Comme vous l'avez peut-être entendu, vu ou lu, au détour d'une page, nul besoin d'aller aux Caraïbes ou faire une croisière dans quelque zone infestée par des pirates pour être en danger. Là où les eaux internationales de la mer Méditerrannée et son climat doux promet de belles petites croisières à réaliser avec un simple voilier, il y a désormais, ce soir, 750 citoyens du monde entier (une cinquantaine de nations) pris en otage par un Etat, qui, trop habitué à l'impunité, à la piraterie, les tient en joue.

There are tonight 750 citizens of the world, 35 nations (or more, this part I am not sure, sorry) who in the name of humanity and conscience, took toys, material to reconstruct homes and persons, or at least give them wheels ... who are threatened by Israeli's army, which too used to impunity, do as it wishes, and used to piracy.





De tous les pays, depuis le pont arrière où ils s'apprêtaient à chanter cette nuit, dans leurs diverses langues, ils lancent le même appel à la communauté internationale. Rappelant que les eaux internationales de Méditerrannée ne sauraient devenir un lac israélien. Appelant leur pays respectif à faire clairement entendre leur voix.

They ask their respective countries to make their voice heard. They are doing no wrong. They are in international waters, where other people sail, freely, and wonder how come this sea has become an israeli lake ?
They are followed by israeli ships. And they are in international waters
This is BLATANT piracy's way of intimidation
The ships are technically islands belonging to the country to whom belongs the boat
They say clearly that they know they do Nothing wrong
They have only humanitarian products
They say : Mediterranean sea is no israeli lake
They wait for our reaction here


Ici un drapeau britannique, mais il y aussi des américains, allemands, et une quarantaine de diverses nations, toutes les religions, couleurs, classes sociales.
Here a british flag, but there are american citizens, german, and diverse nations, all the religions possibles, colours, social classes



En quelques clichés, l'humanité une affaire de conscience, simplement ....


In some images ... humanism is a simple affair of conscience




au-delà du Mc Monde ... Le fameux Sandwich de Gaza
The famous Gaza sandwich ...


l'attente des autres bateaux, la joie de savoir que l'action est belle, juste et humaniste
Waiting for the other ships, (friday) knowing that the action is beautiful and human

les navires ont repris la route depuis les eaux de la Chypre turque, vers les eaux internationales
aux alentours de 15.30, ce dimanche
The ships departed again from the turkish Cyprus's waters towards the international waters at 3. pm this afternoon



La place d'où ils témoignent, du bateau ... vers le bar... là où, cette nuit, ils se réjouissaient de chanter leurs divers chants, partager leur diverses cultures
Un pan du monde pris, cette nuit, en sandwich entre plusieurs bateaux de guerre israéliens ...
The place from which they give their testimonies (life streaming) near the bar. That's here where tonight they planed to sing all together and share their tidbits of their respective cultures
A piece of world, its best part : its conscience, taken in sandwich, tonight between different israeli warships and helicopters, drones, flying above

Faire le Mur



Le fond, la forme ...
L'art de le dire, la puissance d'un crayon
Découvert, l'autre jour, au rayon BD, un livre si lumineux, qu'il pourrait se trouver dans tous les rayons :
Politique, Société, Art, Beaux-Livres, Idée Cadeaux, Bibliographies, Biographies, Roman. Graphisme...
Et puis, Poésie. Bien sûr. Parce qu'en filigrane j'y lis tendresse, amitié, Sentiments, rêve.
Idéal.


Etrange de voir en dessin, l'univers fait de pellicule qui se tord au fil des semaines comme le serpent de béton qui découpe ce monde

J'adore, la démarche, le style, l'idée... tout.

Maximilien Le Roy est un jeune auteur de 24ans. Il a cosigné l’album collectif " Gaza" Décembre 2008 – Janvier 2009 (La Boîte à Bulles). Là, il raconte par quelques esquisses, touchantes, la vie, le quotidien d'un Palestinien de Cisjordanie du même âge que lui et avec qui il partage, aussi, l'amour du crayon, de l'évasion par la plume à défaut des ailes. J'adore quand il laisse, le temps d'un bout de page, la parole, le crayon, à son ami... cette complicité du crayon qui se fond est belle. Généreuse. D'une rencontre, est né ce roman qui nous emporte en été 2008, dans le camp de réfugiés d'Aïda.

Petit bijou au propos aussi profond que le crayon au style léger.

Il a un blog à suivre, et un PROFIL, qui de par quelques films, livres décrivent assez bien l'univers éclectique d'un jeune homme à qui l'on souhaite de continuer à croquer la vie avec ce panache.

Ci-dessous le lien sur la présentation de ce roman au graphisme sûr, riche en citations intelligentes, un entretien avec Alain Gresh et fort à propos, une bibliographie qui ajoute encore, si besoin était, cette touche empreinte de respect du figeur d'instants, pour son sujet, dans une prison où la vie s'écoule, de plus en plus réduite.

Beautiful book I found some days ago, in some library, here
It's called "Faire le Mur" (making the wall) which is an idiom, meaning "To evade" as "faire le mur" is what prisoners do, when they get away from their prison, going above the walls.
It's a book I found in the cartoon department, but it could be in Politics, Art, anywhere. It's complete in its way to present the problem, and draw very humanely the situation.
Maximilien Le Roy, the author, is 24, like his hero, a Palestinian from West Bank, with whom he shares the love for crayons, and saying important things in drawings.
In the end of his book he gives a lot of references, and even an interview of Alain Gresh who is a very decent journalist (one of the rare, I sadly have to confess) in the french part of the world writing about this subject. The book itself is rich of powerful quotes which may seem simple, but give a interesting view of the situation.
I give above the link to the presentation Maximilien himself gives of the book, on his blog
A beautiful blog...
And if you click on his PROFIL you'll know more about him.

I want my daddy back


bixby, some crayons and the eyes of a little boy
They came at night, woke up the little boy, to arrest his daddy
A brave man, gentle man, who just dreams of a future. For his people.
A future for his son. Sunshine not hidden by walls. Walls of greyness around his son.
His eyes like olive. Olivetrees hurt.
A Palestinian daddy.
Just a Palestinian.
That's his crime.
When they come at night
When they bang at doors
When some play with selective memories
Only thinking of their own navel
Their own suffering
And learning nothing, nothing
Nothing from the past
Like letting books, history books, burn.

Haiti - Gaza : same sorrow.



Haiti.

Incredible. This disaster.

Images of kids behind blue bars, the light behind the fumes, the greyness where some human becomes the only touch of colours, desolation, destruction. The newborn with a mother, a daddy and his child, the despair, queue for water. The eyes. Closed.


It's so much like Gaza.


Nearly like Gaza. Then, the Beautifuls coming, the ship named Comfort, Arno, and the others. The usual. Normal. The ship named Comfort. Strange how it nearly hurts to see this ship, like a proof more of what is evident. Should be evident. Comfort. Help. Give people the hope to reconstruct. An afterlife, not only after-shocks. A life after. Something. There was some site full of images. 500 images. I stopped after some 50. The taste of sorrow is always the same. It's the taste of hope that should be the same. Why are some deprieved of simple humanity, good sense, and logical comfort to come ?



I won't copy-paste rapidly images seen on the aol "disaster in Haiti" regrouping all the different sources and images. I won't steal an image of "The US Naval hospital ship Comfort has arrived off Haiti on January 20, 2010 and is ready to begin taking on board the worst of the injured still alive following last week's devastating quake."


Yes. A ship full of comfort is a sort of dream, when one suffers.I think of the struggle some had to simply bring some "comfort" to Palestinians, in Gaza. Imagine... When it's not pure act of piracy against a ship full of comfort, like medics, pens and paper for kids, it's something as crazy as making people "change" their road, once they nearly touch a border, to turn back, take a ship coming from Turkey (where they passed) to charge in Syria the cars with the comfort to a population under siege, sort of earthquake catastrophes which tend to go on and on, aftershocks after aftershocks....

image taken on the link below (archive) where you can find more informations (actual)

I think of this unhuman blockade
I see the eyes burnt of some palestinian kid
I see this image of a kid of Rafah behind blue bars
This woman, this man, sitting on what was a home, memories, hands to the sky
I see this guy, running, in the same light, while a bomb is falling
I see images of
years and years, after decades and decades of shocks, earthquakes, tsunamis, aftershocks.
Or late images of
Yesterday, Gaza was victim of a flood. Israel denies having opened a dam, but as Israel denies everything and has a strange idea of what is good or bad, and thinks itself above any justice, one can wonder. One way or the other, counting the homelesses and wounded in Gaza, the deathes in Israel and Egypt, one can become sarcastic : If they used their brain to do dams that serve something in this region sporadically deprieved of water instead of building walls around humans, life would be much more easier for everyone.
about the flood and legitimate question :
about the wall proving the high level of stupidity in dam-ning people :
