In Part 1 of this essay (‘Weird Universe: Are We Meant To Be Here?”), I discussed the strange ideas of William Blake (1757-1827), England’s famous poet-painter and mystic. He had managed to combine his own wacky version of Christianity with an uninhibited tantric sexual mysticism that most of his contemporaries found ridiculous, if not repugnant, and which the subsequent age of Queen Victoria would regard with revulsion and horror.
This video has been going viral recently and several correspondents have emailed it to me. Apparently White women are causing lots of problems for others, including themselves. If you want to find out why, this 16-minute video will be of interest to you. (LD)
Sneering broadcasters … a scorned working class … and an elite who just don’t get it: Why Donald Trump is now all set for a second term in the White House as Liberal America grinds its teeth with rage — and gets TRUMPED again!

An excursion into the visionary worlds of Blake, Swedenborg, and Leonardo da Vinci. None of these great thinkers would have had any problems believing in a postmortem existence, given that they regarded death as a “continuation of life”.
“The universe is not only stranger than we imagine,
it is stranger than we can imagine.” — Sir Arthur Eddington [1]
Strange. Weird. Uncanny. Three sensational synonyms to lure us into the bizarre mind worlds of William Blake, Emanuel Swedenborg, and Leonardo da Vinci. Perhaps they will help us to appreciate Hamlet’s observation to his friend Horatio that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in our philosophy [2]. Read More

Robert Fisk — ‘The Independent’

Trump’s “deal of the century” is so absurd and banal that it’s impossible to take seriously, says Robert Fisk.

There can only be one winner emerging from this year’s Super Bowl LIV showdown between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs, but the biggest losers will be the hundreds of young girls and boys—some as young as 9 years old—who will be bought and sold for sex during the course of the big game.

entitled “How Many Died Under Stalin?”
According to one Stalin cultist, not a single soul was put to death under the direct orders of the greatest mass murderer of modern times. Darkmoon writers discuss this mind-boggling new claim in a heated debate.

LD: This is one of my favorite Christina Rossetti poems, less well known than it ought to be and seldom found in anthologies. Its exquisite musicality is entirely dependent on rhyme and meter, since the same melodic effects cannot possibly be achieved by unrhymed “free verse”.
The poem’s burning sincerity, which is the hallmark of all Rossetti’s verse, has the indelible stamp of her character: that of an otherworldly mystic consumed by an abhorrence of everyday existence in this vale of tears, together with an insatiable longing for heaven and an after life in some Platonic realm beyond time. This is the lost paradise of her dreams, inklings of which are experienced on this earth only in childhood, if one is lucky enough to have a happy childhood.
Here, then, in this idealized Eden of childhood innocence, is the “Mother Country” which forms the subject matter of this extraordinary piece of mood music. This is genius of a high order, seldom reached by any other female poet in history. [LD] Read More
