The Gift that Keeps on Giving: Chartres – LewRockwell LewRockwell.com

Posted by M. C. on December 20, 2021

My wish to LRC readers is to think of Chartres as a symbol of hope, a gift to humanity that is especially welcome during this holiday season. Think of the beauty that is possible by inspired human hands.Think of its unlikely survival through the centuries during the dark days we are experiencing now.

By Ira Katz

Chartres is a small town (about 38k population) 50 miles southwest of Paris. In 1220 the Cathedral de Notre Dame was completed there, a gift of the pious citizens and other donors. For the intervening 800 years this edifice and the town where it resides has been giving spiritual and hospitable welcome to visitors from throughout the world. I recently took the train to visit Chartres on a very gray, chilly day.

What more can I say about the greatest of Gothic cathedrals that has not already been said?

It is the embodiment of the faith, intellect and engineering of the Medieval mind as explained in this short documentary from the Encyclopedia Britannica (that I highly recommend) made in the 1960s. What I can say is that I now look at the world differently since I have encountered the Symbolic World of Jonathan Pageau. It is not that I understand the pervasive symbolism of everything about the cathedral, but I realize there is meaning in the overall structure as well as each detail (watch the video linked to above). Consider one detail, in the incredibly ornate choir screen consisting of hundreds of stone sculptures there is a bishop holding his severed head. Perhaps this is the 3rd century martyr Saint Denis the Bishop of Paris. He is said to have continued to preach after he was executed. But also within the screen are headless figures that were spoiled during the French revolution. Or in an exterior sculptureChrist is supported by griffins, the protectors of treasure. I also observed that he famous labyrinth embedded in the floor was largely obscured with chairs and the ongoing restoration was evident in two adjacent sections of the ceiling.

The cathedral has a remarkable history of survival. The first church on the site dates to the 4th century. Four more had been erected and destroyed up to the late 12th century. “On the night of 10 July 1194, another major fire devastated the cathedral. Only the crypt, the towers, and the new facade survived. The cathedral was already known throughout Europe as a pilgrimage destination, due to the reputed relics of the Virgin Mary that it contained.…Reconstruction began almost immediately. Some portions of the building had survived, including the two towers and the royal portal on the west end, and these were incorporated into the new cathedral.” During the revolution the local Revolutionary Committee decided to destroy the cathedral with explosives. As the story goes, a local architect, consulted on how to best bring the edifice down, saved it by convincing the committee that the rubble would take years to clear away.  This story sounds a bit fishy to me, but the fact that the cathedral survived with only a few lost heads to statues is just one of its miraculous escapes. Like Notre Dame in Paris in 2017, “in 1836, due to the negligence of workmen, a fire began which destroyed the lead-covered wooden roof and the two belfries, but the building structure and the stained glass were untouched. The old roof was replaced by a copper-covered roof on an iron frame.” Perhaps the most interesting escape for the cathedral occurred during WWII. In the breakout from the Normandy beachhead in August 1944 the American 3rd Army under General Patton headed south and encountered German resistance at Chartres. The cathedral is the highest landmark for miles around the surrounding farmland. So on the morning of the 16th the general staff decided to destroy the cathedral because, they believed, it would make an ideal location to site the German artillery and for snipers. One staff officer, Colonel Welborn Barton Griffith Jr, recognized the abomination of this plan. He volunteered to confirm the danger posed by the cathedral towers. Taking a single volunteer driver with him, he skirted the German patrols and found the cathedral empty. He mounted the tower and hung an American flag and rang the bells to signal that the cathedral was safe. He died in combat later that day in the town of Lèves near Chartres.

Chartres, like many small French towns, is a delight in itself. The well preserved 1930s train station is the first hint to the visitor that the town has more to offer than only Medieval treasures. For example, in the business district there is a wonderful Renaissance era house. The covered market built in 1898 is in the style of Baltard in his use of steel. A more grand building is the public library (actually called with more accuracy a mediatheque). It was built as a post office in the 1920s in a neo renaissance style with art deco features. The only note off key for me was that the short walk on the main street leaving the station toward the cathedral is dominated by kebab stands.

My wish to LRC readers is to think of Chartres as a symbol of hope, a gift to humanity that is especially welcome during this holiday season. Think of the beauty that is possible by inspired human hands.Think of its unlikely survival through the centuries during the dark days we are experiencing now.

My photos follow below.

The imposing west entrance and the far from twin towers. The Christmas tree is a fitting symbol of symbiotic unity of the town and cathedral. The famous flying buttresses of Chartres.

Christ and the griffins, “the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. Since classical antiquity, griffins were known for guarding treasures and priceless possessions.”

The magnificent windows of the west portal. The restored choir looking toward the east end.

The Renaissance version of the comic version of the life of Jesus and Mary. What looks like a bishop, perhaps Saint Denis of Paris, who has not lost his severed head.

These heads were lost during the revolution. Evidence of the physical restoration in adjacent sections of the barrel vaulted ceiling.

The Renaissance era house and the covered market built in 1898.

The pretentious public library (actually called with more accuracy a mediatheque) and the train station.

Réseau Voltaire-How the West Eats Its Children

Posted by M. C. on December 20, 2021

For Thierry Meyssan, by taking to the streets, the French have become the first Western population to take personal risks to oppose financial globalisation. Although they do not realise it, and still imagine that their problems are exclusively national, their enemy is the same force that crushed the region of the African Great Lakes and a part of the Greater Middle East. In order to understand the project which inextricably unites these apparently disparate events, we have to take a step back.

By Thierry Meyssan

Voltairenet.org

THE CAUSE OF WESTERN RECESSION

International relations experienced a profound change with the paralysis of the Soviet Union in 1986, when the State was unable to control the civilian nuclear incident in Tchernobyl [1], then with the revocation of the Warsaw Pact in 1989, when the East German Communist Party [2] destroyed the Berlin Wall, and finally, with the dissolution of the USSR in 1991.

At that time, the President of the United States, George Bush Sr., decided to demobilise one million soldiers and devote the efforts of his country to its own prosperity. He wanted to transform US hegemony within its zone of influence, and expand it into that of the leader of the world, the guarantor of world stability. With that, he laid the foundations for a « New World Order », first of all in the speech he gave side by side with British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, at the Aspen Institute (2 August 1990), then during his speech to Congress (11 September 1990), announcing operation « Desert Storm » [3].

The world of the après-Soviet Union is one of free circulation, not only of merchandise, but also world capital, under the unique control of the United States. In other words, the passage from capitalism to financialisation – not the triumphant culmination of free exchange, but an exacerbated form of colonial exploitation of the whole world, including the West. Within the space of a quarter of a century, the major US fortunes have multiplied many times, and the global wealth of the world has increased considerably.

By allowing capitalism to run wild, President Bush Sr. hoped to extend prosperity to the world. But capitalism is not a political project, it is simply a system of logic designed for creating profit. The logic of the US multinationals was to increase their profits by delocalising production to China, where it is now possible, and where workers are the lowest paid in the world.

Those who were prepared to measure the cost of this advance for the West were few and far between. New middle classes began to appear in the third world, and although they were, of course, far less wealthy than those in the West, they enabled new, mainly Asian states, to play a rôle on the world stage. But simultaneously, Western middle classes began to disappear [4], meaning that it became impossible for the democratic institutions they built to survive. Above all, the populations of entire regions were to be entirely crushed, starting with those of the African Great Lakes. This first regional war caused 6 million deaths, in Angola, Burundi, Namibia, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Zimbabwe, and was met with general incomprehension and indifference. The aim was to continue to seize the natural resources of these countries, but to pay less and less for them, which meant dealing with gangs rather than with the States who had to feed their populations.

The sociological transformation of the world is happening very fast and is clearly without precedent, although we do not have the statistical tools available today to evaluate it with precision. However, everyone can witness the increase in power of Eurasia, (not in the Gaullist sense of « Brest to Vladivostok », but that of Russia and Asia without Western and Central Europe), which seeks liberty and prosperity, while the Western powers, including the United States, are slowly and progressively declining, limiting individual freedom and ejecting half of their population into zones of poverty.

Today, the percentage of imprisonment in China is four times inferior to that of the United States,while their purchasing power is slightly higher. Objectively therefore, with all its faults, Chine has become a freer and more prosperous country than the United States.

This process was predictable from the beginning. Its application was studied for a long time. So, on 1 September 1987, a US forty-year-old published a page of counter-current publicity in the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Boston Globe. He warned his compatriots about the rôle that President Bush Sr. was planning to allocate to the United States – to assume and finance out of their own pockets the responsibility for the developing « New World Order ». People read it and laughed. The author of these texts was real estate promoter, Donald Trump.

THE APPLICATION OF THE ECONOMIC MODEL TO INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

One month after the attacks of 11 September 2001, US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld nominated his friend Admiral Arthur Cebrowski as Director of the new Office of Force Transformation. He was tasked with changing the culture of the entire US military in order to enable it to respond to a complete change in its mission

There was no longer question of using US armies to defend principles or interests, but to use them for a reorganisation of the world by dividing it into two parts – one one side the states integrated into the globalised economy, and on the other, the others [5].

Decarbonization cannot manufacture the products demanded by civilization – CFACT

Posted by M. C. on December 20, 2021

The signatories to the green movement have failed to imagine how life was without the crude oil infrastrure...

https://www.cfact.org/2021/12/18/decarbonization-cannot-manufacture-the-products-demanded-by-civilization/

By Ronald Stein

As late as the 1800’s, the world was “decarbonized” as there were no coal or natural gas power plants, and what the Beverly Hillbillies situation comedies of the 1960’s theme song called “oil that is, black gold, Texas tea”, had not been discovered as something that could be manufactured into usable products.

Before the 1900’s life was hard and dirty, and most people never traveled 100-200 miles from where they were born, and life expectancy was short. Today, crude oil is manufactured into all the products used in the medical industry, fertilizers, electronics and more than 6,000 other products that are the basis of lifestyles and economies.

Now, worldwide efforts are in place to have electricity generated by breezes and sunshine to decarbonize the electricity being generated by coal and natural gas. The “other” fossil fuel of crude oil is caught on the chopping block efforts to eliminate ALL 3 fossil fuels, but crude oil is seldom ever used for electricity generation!

Saule Omarova, who withdrew as Biden’s nominee for Comptroller of the Currency, wants coal, oil, and gas industries ‘to go bankrupt’ is a reflection that she is either oblivious or ignorant to how life and the economies of the world were before 1900. The world had no coal and natural gas generated electricity, nor any of the products, nor fuels manufactured from crude oil needed for airlines, ships, and militaries around the world, as none of those existed before 1900! Had she been confirmed Saule Omarova wanted to push the world back to those decarbonized days of the 1800’s.

As environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors climb up the agenda there is a lost reality that the primary usage of crude oil is NOT for the generation of electricity, but to manufacture derivatives and fuels which are the ingredients of everything needed by economies and lifestyles to exist and prosper. Energy realism requires that the legislators, policymakers, and media that demonstrate pervasive ignorance about crude oil usage understand the staggering scale of the decarbonization challenge.

The oil that reduced infant mortality, extended longevity to more than 80+ and allowed the world to populate to 8 billion in less than two centuries, is now required to provide the food, medical, and communications to maintain and grow that population. How can world leaders consciously support the demise of crude oil?

Just because 2 of the more than 6,000 products manufactured from crude oil are gasoline and diesel fuels for the short-range and light-weight equipment like cars and trucks, why continue to pursue the demise of crude oil? EV technology is making progress to replace those two products from oil. EV owners have demonstrated that their usage of EV’s for approximately 5,000 miles per year represents a real opportunity to meet that short range need with EV’s.

What’s the motivation of encouraging deteriorating oil infrastructure that  is a guarantee to inflict irreparable harm to the supply chain of crude oil to the  700 refineries worldwide that manufacture oil products for the world’s infrastructures and it’s 8 billion people, as efforts to cease the use of crude oil could be the greatest threat to civilization, not climate change ?

The cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline increased world emissions, and costs to Americans, as that Canadian crude oil is now being transported to the West coast where it is then shipped hallway around the world to China. After China manufacturers the crude oil into usable products, in a country will significantly less environmental controls that America, those products are then shipped back to America via air polluting ships to West Coast ports, for American consumption.

The current passion to implement a world with only intermittent electricity from breezes and sunshine are oblivious to the unintended consequences of a world without crude oil and the manufactured products from that oil.

The signatories to the green movement have failed to imagine how life was without the crude oil infrastructure and those products manufactured from oil that did not exist before 1900 when we had:

  • NO medications and medical equipment
  • NO vaccines
  • NO water filtration systems
  • NO sanitation systems
  • NO fertilizers to help feed billions
  • NO pesticides to control locusts and other pests
  • NO communications systems, including cell phones, computers, iPhones, and iPads
  • NO vehicles
  • NO airlines that now move 4 billion people around the world
  • NO cruise ships that now move 25 million passengers around the world
  • NO merchant ships that are moving products throughout the world
  • NO tires for vehicles
  • NO asphalt for roads
  • NO space program.

Wind turbines and solar panels may be able to generate intermittent electricity from breezes and sunshine to partially decarbonize the electric grid, but those renewables cannot manufacture any of the derivatives that come from the “black gold” that are the basis of modern society lifestyles and economies.

Why Is The Left Suddenly Worried About The End Of Democracy? | ZeroHedge

Posted by M. C. on December 20, 2021

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/why-left-suddenly-worried-about-end-democracy

by Tyler DurdenSunday, Dec 19, 2021 – 07:45 PM

Authored by Victor Davis Hanson,

What is behind recent pessimistic appraisals of democracy’s future, from Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, Brian Williams and other elite intellectuals, media personalities, and politicians on the Left? Some are warning about its possible erosion in 2024. Others predict democracy’s downturn as early 2022, with scary scenarios of “autocracy” and Trump “coups.”

To answer that question, understand first what is not behind these shrill forecasts.

  • They are not worried about 2 million foreign nationals crashing the border in a single year, without vaccinations during a pandemic. Yet it seems insurrectionary for a government simply to nullify its own immigration laws.
  • They are not worried that some 800,000 foreign nationals, some residing illegally, will now vote in New York City elections.
  • They are not worried that there are formal efforts underway to dismantle the U.S. Constitution by junking the 233-year-old Electoral College or the preeminence of the states in establishing ballot laws in national elections.
  • They are not worried that we are witnessing an unprecedented left-wing effort to scrap the 180-year-old filibuster, the 150-year-old nine-person Supreme Court, and the 60-year tradition of 50 states, for naked political advantage.
  • They are not worried that the Senate this year put on trial an impeached ex-president and private citizen, without the chief justice in attendance, without a special prosecutor or witnesses, and without a formal commission report of presidential high crimes and misdemeanors.
  • They are not worried that the FBI, Justice Department, CIA, Hillary Clinton, and members of the Obama administration systematically sought to use U.S. government agencies to sabotage a presidential campaign, transition, and presidency, via the use of a foreign national and ex-spy Christopher Steele and his coterie of discredited Russian sources.
  • They are not worried that the Pentagon suddenly has lost the majority support of the American people. Top current and retired officers have flagrantly violated the chain-of-command, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and without data or evidence have announced a hunt in the ranks for anyone suspected of “white rage” or “white supremacy.”
  • They are not worried that in 2020, a record 64 percent of the electorate did not cast their ballots on Election Day.
  • Nor are they worried that the usual rejection rate in most states of non-Election Day ballots plunged—even as an unprecedented 101 million ballots were cast by mail or early voting.
  • And they are certainly not worried that partisan billionaires of Silicon Valley poured well over $400 million into selected precincts in swing states to “help” public agencies conduct the election.

What then is behind this new left-wing hysteria about the supposed looming end of democracy?

It is quite simple.

The Left expects to lose power over the next two years – both because of the way it gained and used it, and because of its radical, top-down agendas that never had any public support.

After gaining control of both houses of Congress and the presidency – with an obsequious media and the support of Wall Street, Silicon Valley, higher education, popular culture, entertainment, and professional sports—the Left has managed in just 11 months to alienate a majority of voters.

The nation has been wracked by unprecedented crime and nonenforcement of the borders. Leftist district attorneys either won’t indict criminals; they let them out of jails or both.

Illegal immigration and inflation are soaring. Deliberate cuts in gas and oil production helped spike fuel prices.

All this bad news is on top of the Afghanistan disaster, worsening racial relations, and an enfeebled president.

  • Democrats are running 10 points behind the Republicans in generic polls, with the midterms less than a year away.
  • Joe Biden’s negatives run between 50 and 57 percent—in Donald Trump’s own former underwater territory.
  • Less than a third of the country wants Biden to run for reelection. In many head-to-head polls, Trump now defeats Biden.

In other words, leftist elites are terrified that democracy will work too robustly.

After the Russian collusion hoax, two impeachments, the Hunter Biden laptop stories, the staged melodramas of the Kavanaugh hearings, the Jussie Smollett con, the Covington kids smear, and the Rittenhouse trial race frenzy, the people are not just worn out by leftist hysterias, but they also weary of how the Left gains power and administers it.

If Joe Biden were polling at 70 percent approval, and his policies at 60 percent, the current doomsayers would be reassuring us of the “health of the system.”

They are fearful and angry not because democracy doesn’t work, but because it does despite their own media and political efforts to warp it.

When a party is hijacked by radicals and uses almost any means necessary to gain and use power for agendas that few Americans support, then average voters express their disapproval.

That reality apparently terrifies an elite.

It then claims any system that allows the people to vote against the Left is not people power at all.

Ukraine Needs Clear Communication, Not Weapons, From the U.S.

Posted by M. C. on December 20, 2021

But the U.S. can do its part by incentivizing Kyiv to operate through the prism of reality rather than fantasy. Giving Ukraine the false hope of unconditional U.S. backing does the country no favors.

https://reason.com/2021/12/08/ukraine-needs-clear-communication-not-weapons-from-the-u-s/

Daniel DePetris

With approximately 100,000 Russian forces stationed near Ukraine’s eastern border and reports that Moscow might be planning an incursion as soon as next month, a casual observer can be forgiven for thinking war in Eastern Europe is just around the corner. U.S. officials are taking the threats of a Russian operation extremely seriously.

A session between U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov last week did little to calm bilateral tensions over Ukraine. Neither did a two-hour video conference on Tuesday between President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin, which at first glance appeared to be more of an airing of grievances than a conflict-resolution strategy session. At present, the U.S. and Russian positions on Ukraine are nearly irreconcilable, even as both pay lip service to a diplomatic process that has made little progress beyond a shaky ceasefire.  Putin wants assurances Ukraine will not be swallowed up in the Western orbit, insisting on “legal guarantees” to this effect (a point he reiterated during his video call with President Joe Biden on December 7). Washington, meanwhile, demands Russia withdraw its forces from Ukrainian territory, sever support to the separatists in the Donbas, and hand back full control of the Ukrainian border to Kyiv.

Omicron: The Lockdowners’ Last Stand’ – Ron Paul’s 20 Dec Column

Posted by M. C. on December 20, 2021

Meanwhile, South Africa, with one of the lowest rates of vaccination, has just announced that they are only seeing a tiny fraction of hospitalizations with omicron compared to previous variants. South Africa’s Covid response authority has written to the health minister recommending an end to containment efforts, contact tracing, and quarantines.

Omicron: The Lockdowners’ Last Stand

Dec 20 – Just as President Biden’s unconstitutional vaccination mandates were being ripped up by the courts, authoritarian politicians, public health bureaucrats, and the mainstream media, announced a new Covid variant to justify another round of lockdowns and restrictions. The things that didn’t work last time would be a good idea to do again this time, they claim.

For these authoritarians, the timing of omicron’s emergence was perfect.

The variant was first discovered in South Africa, with the US and European media running endless scare stories. Authoritarian politicians used the manufactured fear to justify another attack on liberty. Europe shut down and became a virtual prison camp. In Austria, Germany, and elsewhere, citizens became non-persons without a vaccine passport.

South African health officials reported that the variant seemed to be more contagious but far milder than previous variants, as usually happens with such viruses. But the lockdowners would not hear of it. From Boris Johnson in the UK to DeBlasio in New York City, the variant was perfect cover for them to put their boots back on the necks of terrorized citizens.

As to be expected, Fauci reveled in the emergence of the new variant, warning of “record deaths” for the unvaccinated. Similarly, President Biden warned that this would be a “winter of death” for the unvaccinated.

But here’s something the media isn’t reporting about the omicron outbreaks: they are taking place among the fully vaccinated. Cornell University, with 97 percent of the campus fully vaccinated and a mask mandate, has announced that it would return to online only instruction after a massive Covid outbreak. Likewise, the National Football League has postponed several games this weekend due to Covid outbreaks, even though the League is virtually 100 percent vaccinated. And the National Basketball Association, which is above 95 percent fully vaccinated, has just announced that due to a surge in Covid cases it too will postpone games.

The vaccine is not working to prevent infection or transmission of the virus: cases are raging in states with the highest vaccine levels. Yet the “experts” continue to maintain that the only thing that can stop the spread of omicron is vaccines! More people are catching on that this makes no sense. If vaccines don’t stop the spread, how can vaccines stop the spread?

Meanwhile, South Africa, with one of the lowest rates of vaccination, has just announced that they are only seeing a tiny fraction of hospitalizations with omicron compared to previous variants. South Africa’s Covid response authority has written to the health minister recommending an end to containment efforts, contact tracing, and quarantines.

Unvaccinated South Africa is ending Covid restrictions while the hyper-vaccinated North is locking down. Something doesn’t add up.

Fauci loves to say that to question him is to question science, but this has nothing to do with science. It’s about power. Fauci, the political authoritarians, and the corrupt Big Pharma billionaires are trying to make a last stand, desperate to push omicron as a justification for further tyranny and profits. But actual science is not cooperating.

Omicron is spreading and vaccines are not stopping it. Thus far nearly half of omicron infections are asymptomatic. Some experts are predicting that omicron will spell the end of Covid-19. But we know that as long as people like Fauci are around, Covid-19 will never end. Unless, of course, we repudiate the charlatans and profiteers and reclaim our liberty!

Watch “The End of Universities? | The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast – S4: E:39” on YouTube

Posted by M. C. on December 19, 2021

Yeonmi Park’s account of her experience at Columbia University is harrowing – as someone who had just arrived in the West after her escape from North Korea, the idea that she had to censor herself at a prestigious university like Columbia, or any university for that matter – which have historically been bastions of free thought is horrifying. Her experience serves as one example of just how far the Universities have deteriorated. #Universities #UofColumbia #ColumbiaUniversity Dr. Peterson wanted to put this together because he still feels like it’s possible to save the Universities, but before that can happen, more people need to be aware of just how twisted they’ve become. Feel free to share and reference this video as some evidence and perspectives on the state of Western Universities. Yeonmi Park’s “In Order to Live” – https://www.amazon.com/Order-Live-Kor…

Tucker: Nothing like this has ever happened in the United States

Posted by M. C. on December 19, 2021

Tucker Carlson: In the end, this Sunday federal authorities caught a number of the migrants, according to Customs and Border Protection. The Haitians will be processed for removal proceedings. Feel better? You shouldn’t. That doesn’t mean they’re being sent home. In fact, most of them will not be sent home. Most of will stay here forever. They didn’t come here legally, they came here illegally. Data compiled by Syracuse University shows the results of immigration hearings so far under Joe Biden. More than 70% of illegal aliens have been allowed to stay in your country after their so-called deportation proceedings. There’s no deportation involved. Immigration officers hate this. They’re not allowed to do their jobs, but they’re not in control. Joe Biden is in control and Joe Biden is trying to change this country as fast as he possibly can. You may not know this. Most Americans have no idea it’s happening, but the rest of the world is watching closely. So if you live in an impoverished country and you’d like a better job and free schools and free health care courtesy of American taxpayers, come on in. And they are.
