I saw this long ago & very lucky, guessed it's partial name "Waterfront" - Richard Burton has one of the leading roles & you can see he is a GREAT actor even then. Not sure was this his first or one of his first movies @ 25 years old. He was NOMINATED 7 times for an Academy Award but NEVR WON. Did they punish him for his affair with Elizabth? IMO he got famous for that, moreso than any movie. I recall it vividly - they made a HUGE stink out of it. But overall, was the reason that his movies were not the best, even though he was great. I loved him in 'the Robe' but most other items I see like 'Equs' & 'the Spy Who Came in from the Cold' & even 'Cleopatra' don't interest me. Anyway, this is worth seeing, it's serious but for me, hits the spot. There's 2 villains, the guy who played 'Captain Hook' as an uncaring father who left his family for 14 years & returned only because he lost his job right there at that dock....& this sleazy rich man who's courting the other sister {who lords it over her older sister sarcastically as her fince, Burton, has been unemployed for 2 years & can't afford anything & they can't get married} & trying to get sex & after her Dad commits a murder, her reputation is ruined, he tells her no marriage {he wasn't goig to marry her anyway}, just give me sex or it's all off. Can't recall what she does but it IS interesting, the characters are strong.

Dreamboat Clifton Webb, Ginger Rogers 1952
Anne Francis is that phenomenon who is perfectly beautiful & totally 'sexless' at the same time. No sex appeal. She is cast that way in another movie where she & her Dad are stranded on another planet & she is supposed to be 'sexless' when some guys in a rocket ship get marooned there {Can't think of the name}. This movie is OK. Ginger Rogers is NOT the star - Anne Francis is more impressive than her & her part is bigger. But Ginger was more famous, so they put her as the star.
A good 4 hours of the best old Christmas songs
Merry Christmas to one & all! Enjoy your pudding, lol
Watch Scrooge with Alastair Sims - I see it every year - classic!

Friar Alessandro - Panis Angelicus
exquisite - I checked about 5 other singers who did this & NONE of them including Pavarotti could compare to Friar Alex - He sings with SOUL, they sang it with their voices. Totally different effect. He knows what the Eucharist means, being close to God himself as a Friar, probably receives it daily.

A Star Is Born
This old version is much better than the newest one with Barbra Streisand - There was one version with James Mason also, that was good also
Sunset Boulevard
Gloria Swanson was 51 when she made this & they called her 'aging' - living in a 'decaying mansion' & her story is bizarre, etc.
Greyfriars Bobby
This is a charming movie I watched & enjoyed last night while exercising. The ony thing is, none of it really happened, lol. The movie is based on fact, but every incident pictured, just about, is fiction. What happened is that for years Bobby walked the beat with his Master, a cop. The Master died. Bobby sat on his grave every day 24 hours a day except when he left for lunch - the pub where the cop went each day, where now they gave Bobby a free lunch, & he went back to the grave. That's all there was - no one tried to kill him, none of this drama occurred. Enjoy the movie, lol.

I saw Amadeus in 1984 - when I was a dancing star in San Francisco at the Mitchell Bros O'Farrell Theater {the one who killed his bro was going to shoot me dead in the street - for preaching - he was demonic - but God saved me by giving me such bad indigestion I could not work that day} Anyway, the manager told me I had the rest of the week off with full pay as the 'guy who called & said he'd kill you dead if you kept preaching' - he was white as a sheet with fear.....So I had 4k in my pocket & went to Church daily {did that anyway} went to Church twice a day, went to art exhibits & movies. And there was Amadeus, which I saw several times that week. The portrayal of the requieum was so riveting I loved it from then on. And this is a great version.

The Sami // The Nomads Of The Arctic // Indigenous Peoples Of Russia
People of the reindeer. Unusual. Live with nature. from Rasa
The Siberian cousins of Native Americans - The Ket People
One of the most unusual documentaries I have come up upon. The Kets in Siberia. Many American Native languages seem to be derived from the Ket language. Am just starting to see this now. from Rasa. They have Shamans. When he gets to the middle the discussion of language moves into the Twilight Zone. But after a while it gets a bit more normal. This might bore some people, there are few pictures or films, mostly talk & some of it gets dreary but he does present overall the story of a rare & unusual tribe of people that some of our Native Americans came from.

End Men Before they End Us
End men before they end us
Rasa
says in response to Ajax’s article: Weak
men, strong men. Hard times create
strong men:
I imagine or perceive when our situation is
desperate we can rely on a man to use his aggressive nature to help. Let’s say other men are attacking the family
& village, he has an aptitude to fight.
He might be good at hunting also – as he’s not as ‘soft’ on animals as
are women.
But
once he gains POWER he’s a monster.
Those who lead the world want nothing more than their primitive
instincts satisfied – to be pampered with comforts & the biggest comfort is
multiple women. {Dr. Bryan Sykes agrees
with me on this, he cites how historically leaders had harems with hundreds or
thousands of women – Genghis Kahn 12k concubines.} Their ‘nature’ is the same
be it hard times or ‘good.’ It always
ends up the quest for multiple women!
It’s the sperm, sperm & more sperm squeaking, ‘Let me live, live,
live!’
Here
The
studies quoted here bear much thought & consideration. I personally have no TIME to discover HOW the
Patriarchs work. It might take months or
years of education - I pass! Let them
continue doing what they do without me burying my brain in their behavior. Notice it’s all written by OTHER MEN, not the
ones doing it – {the warlords} – but scholars who sit behind desks &
think. Somehow the thinkers make it seem
like ‘fate’, they are what ‘just happens’ or it’s ‘inevitable.’ They don’t cite the NATURE of men; their
sins, crimes, lack of morals according to Godly souls like Jesus or Buddha,
they just make it seem like,
“This
is the way it works. Men follow the
patterns.”
Lol
I say fuck you, men & scholars. Just
as I say fuck the women scholars who talk about equality & egalitarianism
but never cite Matriarchy {except for Marija Gimbtas, my sister Lithuanian}.
What
I work on is the NATURE of men & why, by this nature, they will end up
always & in all ways doing more harm than good for the family & the
world. {William Bond feels the same
basically but we do have differences.} I look at CRIME statistics, then their
wars which are also CRIMES, & I note experience we women have of their
selfishness, hostility, hate, revenge & the like.
At
this point in evolution it seems that NOTHING could stop the evil of men except
by the sovereign decision of Almighty God through Mother Nature – her Will to
disable & remove men via extinction.
Males in general have become a rogue creature, the ‘living dead,’ -
‘zombies’ like in the movies. They walk
& talk kind of like humans, but inside they are what these titles represent
& their works – children of their nature – represent this. The escalation
in war which is becoming more & more insidious & demonic is proof.
Most
if not all men go along with the program although they have no POWER {political
or monetary} - they still take their wrath out on innocent women & children
– so SPOILED have they become believing they are the SUPERIOR SEX which
deserves PRIVILEGES - & those extra rights are only in dominating/
torturing the smaller & weaker, but it’s ALL THEY HAVE & want to keep!
In
my personal life, as all women have, I can cite numerous instances where
ordinary men took revenge on me for simply standing my ground, talking about
women’s rights, or refusing to give in to their lust. I’m talking rape, being beaten up, threatened
with death, deprived of financial assistance, trapped into harsh situations, it
could go on for volumes. These are the
regular Joe’s who take their wrath out on women when they don’t get their
way. This is how these Joe’s go along
with the evil, tyrannical Patriarchs who punish all including them, but give
these guys the scraps from the Captains table.
“I want those crumbs! – I want my right to
abuse women & children! – I am superior, I am the authority!”
Dr.
Bryan Sykes said in so many words that males are a genetic experiment that
DIDN’T WORK & therefore, nature is REMOVING THEM. Lol.
Why am I one of the few talking about this? - Because Patriarchs don’t
permit this discussion on the table.
THEY decide what can be spoken of in public; they have the freedom of
speech while we are fettered.
Through
all this nature is changing both males & females. Females gave up their aggression,
forcefulness, authority, by mating with more & more macho males – eventually
they got like this & rebelled against women, the monster turning against
Dr. Frankenstein. They became something
humans should not be, & so, Mother Nature, as the good geneticist said, is
taking them out. Women now have started
to regain their aggression, dominance & authority, & this will
continue.
Kudos
to Dr. Bran Sykes, kudos to Mother God.

Only Women Can Break The Cycle Of History
By Ajax the Great (Pete Jackson)
(Originally posted on The Chalice and the Flame blog)
History, or more accurately, HIStory, has always seemed to occur in cycles. Ascendancy and decline. Collapse and rebirth. Spring and fall. Over and over again. And with smaller cycles occurring as part of larger ones as well. The modern meme about it goes like this:
Hard times create strong men.
Strong men create good times.
Good times create weak men.
Weak men create hard times.
And so on. And if current events are any indication, we seem to be in the "weak men create hard times" stage, alas. But the authors of this meme did not pull this out of the ether, rather, this idea of the cyclical nature of history is thousands of years old. The ancient Greeks called it "Anacyclosis".
Per Wikipedia:
Anacyclosis states that three basic forms of "benign" government (monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy) are inherently weak and unstable, tending to degenerate rapidly into the three basic forms of "malignant" government (tyranny, oligarchy, and ochlocracy). [Ochlocracy = mob rule]
Polybius' sequence of anacyclosis proceeds in the following order: 1. monarchy, 2. kingship, 3. tyranny, 4. aristocracy, 5. oligarchy, 6. democracy, and 7. ochlocracy. [And finally chaos, and then the cycle repeats with a new king emerging from the chaos...]
And then there is the "Tytler Cycle" (or "Fatal Sequence") as well. The following quote, actually of somewhat unknown authorship, has nonetheless been attributed to Alexander Fraser Tytler sometime in either the late 18th or early 19th century, though occasionally it has been attributed to Alexis de Toqueville as well:
- A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.
- The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to complacency; From complacency to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.
These two paragraphs actually did not occur together until the 1970s, but the latter one is the one that stuck the most. It can thus be summarized graphically as follows:
The first paragraph of course can be debunked by the theories of Monetary Sovereignty and Modern Monetary Theory, in that a government that issues and controls it's own sovereign currency cannot really go bankrupt unless they deliberately choose to, and thus loose fiscal policy per se need not result in a dictatorship. In Venezuela, for example, dictatorship (and corruption) actually came first, well before their extremely loose fiscal policy. Furthermore, Switzerland is the very closest thing to a truly direct democracy in the modern world, and interestingly the voters in 2016 actually rejected a Universal Basic Income (UBI) referendum. And even Canada, arguably somewhat more democratic in practice than the USA (prior to 2020), had actually shrank the size of its government dramatically from 1990 to 2019 via fiscal austerity (which came at a heavy price), and barely any stimulus even during the Great Recession. But the second paragraph is the one that is the real essence of the quote, regardless of what sort of governing system is in place. And it seems to be true throughout history time and again.
To be fair, many civilizations have lasted for much more than 200 years, and sometimes some of the stages listed here are truncated, inverted, and/or leapfrogged over entirely. But as a general rule or heuristic, it largely holds true.
And more recently, William Strauss and Neil Howe's generational theory also appears to dovetail with all of this. And the ever-insightful Julius Ruechel observes how that cycle seems to occur every four generations, or roughly 80 years or so (making us due for a major crisis by 2020, being about 80 years since the Great Depression and its infamous segway into WWII). This is, of course, a smaller cycle within larger ones like the ones mentioned above, but again it follows basically the same pattern. A pattern that seems to be, for all intents and purposes, sooner or later, inevitable and written in stone. So what is the underlying reason?
Thus once again, we return to the first meme, with the proper emphasis added this time:
Hard times create strong men.
Strong men create good times.
Good times create weak men.
Weak men create hard times.
And so on. Now do you see why? Because MEN are in charge, that's why. Strong men and weak men are ultimately two sides of the same coin. And thus only Women can finally break the cycle for good, by reclaiming their rightful place as the new leaders of the free world, Goddess willing. And as they say, the rest will be HERstory.
Let the planetary healing begin!
From Rasa Von Werder: Wow, this is EXCELLENT Ajax the Great! I shall study it when time permits & give some pertinent remarks! PS this will go into my next book - on Matriarchy. I am going to publish as many of your Matriarchal articles as you will permit, as well as the work of William Bond. These words need to be propogated. We have future generations to educate. Where will they go for Matriarchal knowledge? It is SCANT. We MUST PUSH!
William Bond comment:
I agree Ajax the Great, that no matter what type of government men create you will always have the same problems, because men don’t change in the way they rule. This is why when it comes to rulers it is more about the “singer and not the song”. Corrupt and selfish leaders will ruin any system of government, no-matter what it is. What we need is caring and intelligent governments and we are more likely to have this, if we have matriarchal governments. William
AJAX SAYS: Very well-said, both of you. Thank you for your insights.

Reach Purgatory Souls
12-5-23 Strange Journey
I’m
on the road I often walk in dreams, it’s over a steep hill & it’s long but
some parts are beautiful. Yes, it
varies, it changes from dream to dream, sometimes with great variety or
difference. Even has a large body of water in one spot on the right side, but
not this dream.
What
is different this time is I have a lame leg but am trying my best to make the
walk anyway.
However, to my chagrin, I still have one third of the way to go & it will start getting dark soon – maybe an hour – no way I can walk the rest of it by then. The entire walk usually takes about three hours.
The
spot where I stop to think is almost on the apex, wide open spaces on both
sides, but soon I’ll be going through a wooded area. As I look ahead I see to the right of the
road {dirt road of course} a couple white camper type vehicles, one large,
& a man dressed in a white shirt standing there.
I go
up to him & ask,
“Is
there anyone here that can give me a ride?”
He
says no.
I
continue walking & right away another man is to my right. He’s very short, has deep set eyes with bags
under them, very ugly, wearing a checkered blue shirt. I ask him,
“Do
you drive?”
He
says no.
Have
no idea how but some way I get over the hill.
This
gets sketchy. I’m in a vehicle with a
male. At some point it was my old
Corvette, the Corvette had only 2 seats, but this one luckily has a passenger
seat in the middle behind the 2 front, light blue just like my old Corvette
was, & a male friend gets in there.
We
have to get some place & it isn’t easy.
Now
it’s like I no longer have a car. Is it
just me? And I have a dog on a leash
We
pass by a spot where there used to be a road but now water is cascading down
strongly, the water has a strongly vanilla & white color, it’s like under a
bridge, we are higher up.
“Not
going there!”
I
exclaim.
Apparently
I’ve gone there before, conditions have changed.
We
continue. Now in front there is a rock
formation, about 20’ high to the top, a soft slope, 50’ across, round like a
pumpkin, also has some up & down markings like a pumpkin, the rock itself
is grey with maybe sight pinkish tones & the entire thing has soft
cascading water over it, no force, just soft water gently streaming down &
we have to cross over this.
The
dog runs before me & he isn’t big, but just the force of his run helps
stabilize me as this trek might be slippery.
We get to the top without slipping because of his pull.
Then
again it isn’t clear – am I walking, running, car, no car or what? But suddenly the road turns into a deep FOG. I see NOTHING, not the road, direction,
whereabouts, nothing, it’s pretty unnerving.
When
I come out of the fog there before me is a giant type of machine with grey
adorning it on the front & sides.
It’s scary & seems to come too close to me & this machine
presents some sort of threat. It’s like
we were at war & this is an enemy weapon, only we aren’t at war so what is
this?
I
swerve to the right away from this machine & see a group of yards but they
are all fenced in where one cannot pass through – its completely contained by
these metal fences, with green grass growing inside some of them. So in other words, there is
An
evil man hovers in the air to my left & says to me,
“You
will not get anywhere now.”
He’s
wearing grey, he’s sinister & scary.
It’s a Hellish feeling.
There
were many other dreams but I can’t remember now.
MEANING:
*{ME: Mother God, this has been bothering me all
day but I was so busy I couldn’t write it down.
Meanwhile forgot all the other dreams.
I have a feeling this has to do with my loss of mystical ability – the
lame leg – due to still thinking about the musician & occupying myself so
much with music, sharing it here & there, most of the day yesterday. I was taken off track from my usual spiritual
work, my mind went astray, it was not fully awake & attentive to God. Am I right?
And
in the end, is it the devil that interferes?
Did anything good happen at all through this, did I help anyone in Purgatory?
MG: Something good could have been when a
passenger got into the seat behind the front – you were helping him but either
you could not get him to Ascend, or else he did ascend, only you could not see
it – a dark night engulfed you in the form of the fog.
The
journey begins over a familiar road which you have seen hundreds of times in
dreams, but this time you are partially DISABLED. The lame leg is definitely your preoccupation
with the musician & music; it led you astray from your clarity with Souls.
Yes you have stopped caring to some degree but you were still studying trying
to figure him out & this led you into his world, his thoughts, his
feelings, his destiny, not our own arena.
Was
it the devil? In your understanding of Satan, you realize demons come out of
the ID, the lower primitive self. And
indeed when we have any type of focus on the flesh, we appear in the lower
consciousness – which BLINDS us – the FOG.
You
even saw a performance of his where he donned a crown with red horns &
played ‘Highway to Hell.’ That was
symbolic. What he was doing there you
were thinking of posting,
“This
type of music will make plants stop growing’
because
extreme rock’n’ roll, ‘heavy metal’, with all types of flashing lights that
disorient people, definitely feeds the ID, not the higher self.
As
you tried to cross the giant hill you knew you were lame & needed
help. This means you needed Saints or
angels to get you help souls, but you found no help.
Who
are the characters?
Because
they aren’t able to help you could mean they ARE souls in Purgatory. They are doing their time; they can’t help
anyone except by prayer.
The first one, the colors are white, white
campers, white shirt. He might be close
to Ascending, vehicles are there, but for some reason, can’t be driven – it’
not yet time.
The
second one being ugly {that’s his soul} – is farther away from Ascension,
neither has a vehicle which is saying he doesn’t have the Power/Grace/vehicle
for that.
The
man you are traveling with is probably one of your Guardian Angels & the
one that gets into the ‘back seat’ which in physical doesn’t exist, could be a
soul you’re trying to transport to Heaven.
But
alas, either you can’t get him there or else your vision is blocked for the
reasons explained. {end}
