Joseph and Napoleon, again.

Still reading the correspondence between Napoleon and Joseph during the Peninsular War, and I can’t decide whom of the two correspondents I dislike more. Napoleon still boasting »I will in Spain find the Pillars of Hercules, but not the limit of my power«, while Joseph - who has warned him over and over that things are going really, really badly here - after the capitulation of Baylén is already on the road from Madrid back to the French frontier, running from an army of infuriated Spanish insurgents … that’s really hard to stomach and makes me pity Joseph, who sees much better how things really stand, but whose opinion, it seems, Napoleon never takes serious.

And yet I think I’m also starting to understand why, despite Joseph’s and Murat’s problems being so similar in nature, I have far more sympathy for Murat than for Monsieur Joseph.

This is from a letter Joseph wrote to Napoleon in 1808, when he had been driven from Madrid the first time, after Dupont’s capitulation at Baylén and literally only a couple days after he had first entered Madrid:

Joseph to Napoleon, Burgos, 9 August 1808

[…] I found here other people of my household who left Naples after it. I have been here since this morning; I have been thinking a great deal about the situation of Spanish affairs, about those of Naples, and about Your Majesty's letter of 3 August, in which she tells me of my fondness for the Spaniards. I disregard all intermediate ideas, and here is the result of my reflections:

1° Since much blood and money is needed to conquer Spain, France is entitled to find an indemnity for it, and to ensure that these peoples, who will long hold a feeling of animosity against her, cannot essentially harm her. For this, Spain must be reduced to the point of being powerless to give in to this resentment: joining the provinces beyond the Ebro to France, joining Galicia to Portugal, dividing up the Spanish possessions, would make what would remain of Spain descend to the rank of a third power; [...]

It would be possible, by returning the increased Portugal to the house of Braganza, and disposing of Spain and the Spanish possessions, to make them objects of compensation, the price of the war and the token of a general peace [...].

2° When I consider myself in this matter, it is impossible for me not to become at once a stranger to Spain. Honour, conscience, or finally that hidden instinct which is the motive of all my actions, […]

… Money? Or women? It has to be one of those two!

[…] would never allow me to remain on the throne of Spain, if that monarchy were to be reduced in the least part.

Of course. Ruling over a third degree power would be beneath one Joseph Bonaparte.

In the supposition that France would want to gratuitously lavish her blood and gold to place and maintain me on the throne of Spain, I cannot conceal from Your Majesty that I could not bear the idea that another than Your Majesty should command the French armies in Spain. Having become the conqueror of this country through the horrors of the war in which all Spanish individuals will take part, I will long be an object of terror and execration. I am too old to have the time to repair so many evils; and I would have sown too much hatred during the war for me to be able to reap in my last years the fruit of the good that I would have been able to do during peace, in the midst of preventions and calamities of all kinds.

To sum up: Joseph is not necessarily against using violence against the Spaniards – to the contrary, he is fully aware that a ruthless oppression will be necessary in order to get a hold of the country, and he even suggests that the country be split up, rendered powerless forever, and certain regions be used as barter goods with the Brits for a general peace.

He just does not want to be the one to do it.

In exchange for the priviledge to see his brother sit the throne of Spain, Napoleon please do all that ugly fighting and butchering and maiming. M’kay? Getting his hands dirty, that’s nothing for a person as delicate as Joseph. He wants to be seen as the good guy by his new subordinates, so he cannot be involved in any of the ugly stuff. But, hey, Naps, that’s precisely what you went to Brienne for, right? So just invest some fifty millions in money and some fifty thousand soldiers (Joseph keeps asking for this over and over, before he even has reached his capital), kill whoever you need to kill in order to make sure that the Spanish will not rebel again, and I’m all yours to wear that crown.

And in case Napoleon should adopt neither of Joseph’s suggestions (either split up Spain and make it powerless, or beat it into submission and then place Joseph on the throne), Joseph will do what any person in his right mind would do, call it a day and go back to his much more comfortable throne of Naples. Sorry, Naps, surely you will understand.

I can’t help but feel a lot of Schadenfreude at the thought that, when Joseph was writing this, Naples had already been given to Murat.

Twitter reacts to Ukraine's defense team quoting Pusha T's lyrics

Pusha T seems quite popular in Ukraine, as its defense team cited some of his lyrics on its official Twitter account on Tuesday (Sept. 6).

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, with over one million followers, tweeted a chart illustrating Russia’s losses since the Ukrainian war started earlier this year. The caption contains lyrics from Pusha T’s “Numbers on the Boards” track from his 2013 debut solo album, My Name Is My Name. “I put numbers on the boards. @PUSHA_T. Total combat losses of the enemy from Feb. 24 to Sept. 7,” the tweet read. 

The chart displays that several Russianartilleries have been destroyed in battle, including 2,117 tanks, 4,556 armed combat vehicles, almost 300 military jets, and other heavy artilleries. The Ukrainian defense account also indicated that over 50,000 soldiers have allegedly been killed in battle.

The Virginia Beach rapper responded to the post on Wednesday (Sept. 7), pointing out Ukraine’s excellent musical preferences. “Great taste in music for the win,” he tweeted.

People on social media and hip hop fans were not shy about sharing their opinions about the Twitter account using Pusha’s lyrics. Most of the commenters were in shock at the tweet, such as Twitterer NekiasNBA, who said in disbelief, “This entire planet is a simulation.” Another commenter kay_mahapa, tweeted, “We live in a world where Pusha T lyrics are used in war.” A third person commented, “Yo, directly quoting Pusha T in the middle of a massive war is the heights of wildness. We are living in a simulation!”

Even the co-host of Hot 97‘s “Ebro in the Morning,” Ebro had to react to the unexpected tweet, saying, “Pusha T has won wars, so they [are] associating with the right rapper.”

Guapdad 4000 also responded to the viral post, saying, “The fact that there’s a Ukrainian intern somewhere designing digital assets to display a body count from [the] war in a friendly looking format is f**king wild to me. We [are] not even gone talk about the @PUSHA_T quote [goat emoji].”

How do you feel about this tweet?

Next on The EMillio EgBar/NonStop Radio Show... I recently sat down with Brownsville, Brooklyn, NY native and hip hop artist Kareem "Berry" Goodz.. member of the hip hop collective Rockboy Gz & Rockboy Records... to discuss his latest project titled "Goodz Time".

At one point during the conversation... given the current state of the music industry... the topic of the Billboard Charts not having a Number 1 Hip Hop Single or Album was brought up as well as a recent post from NYC based Hip Hop Radio station Hot 97's Ebro of the "Ebro in The Morning" show stating record labels are no longer prioritizing signing Hip Hop Artist... Berry was asked to give his take on the matter and here's how he answered the question from his point of view...

The chatter around the industry as of late has been the perceived concern that the music business as we know it may be finished.. if you are an artist or producer.. do you feel a lot of these platforms are right in their assessment of the industry??

Be sure to take time and check out Berry Goodz latest project "Goodz Time" featuring the single "No Apologies" and more.. be on the lookout for the full conversation coming to a speaker near you

Weather and the Garden

I don’t know how many of you have noticed but something strange is happening to the worlds weather patterns.  Places where there used to be balanced weather patterns are now either becoming arid or very wet.  Anyway, it’s still a topic that crops up no matter where you are. 

Here in Catalonia the subject has been drought! Last year was hot, very hot indeed with very little if any rain during the summer.  My wife could be heard telling her flowerpots “Make the most of this no more for two days.” And this went on throughout the summer, as she dished out the water to ensure her bulbs, shrubs etc., survived the heat.  However, we learnt a lesson regarding the bulbs. Up here they need water and the occasional feed during their dormant time, as unlike in the UK we don’t get a lot of rain so the ground dries out and goes like rock. When they appeared this year, they were on the small side with the Hyacinths looking more like Blue Bells. But we’ve had quite a lot of rain these past few weeks and everything has literally gone “water, quick drink and grow” and they have.  Tulips that looked as though they wouldn’t grow very well have taken off and there are some blousy red ones showing their stuff. In between these were yellow ones which first of all looked as though they wouldn’t do more than bud and flower in the leaves. Then the rain arrived and the next thing these tulips were on tallish stems and waving around enjoying the weather. 

The Roses leafed and are in bud even her cacti are budding up. Our two varieties of Jasmine are out and the bank is filling with blue and white Iris soon to be joined by the Lilly's. A small bed under the bathroom window is giving off the magical scent of the Fuchsia which drifts around the evening air.  These are the only flowers my wife picks as there are an abundance of them.  They multiply like rabbits, so every year she digs some up and gives them to various people and our Petanca clubs garden. Thing is, although she will dig the bulbs up and check the soil to make sure none are left, next year she finds there's always one or two that escaped.  Her Saffron bulbs have been moved into the FFZ (Fly Free Zone) so that the wild boar cannot decimate her supply. That morning, I found they had attacked her garden bed dug up and eaten nearly 40 bulbs was horrible. What she wasn’t going to do to them, then she cried because I wouldn’t let her set up a machine gun…..but eventually she came back down and taking the remaining bulbs planted them in her tubs and close to the house with the result of so far so good.

As for the weather, well at this moment the river Ebro is doing a very fine impression of The Big Muddy.  Water is flowing fast and furious down towards the Med taking trees and other flotsam along with it.  The river road is, in some places, looking a trifle dubious. The river is cutting into the bank and it would not surprise me if in places the road fell in because of being undercut.  But at least the rain is mostly at night. It’s wonderful waking up to that fresh dust free air, watching the birds hopping about in the Olive tree looking for insects. Seeing the mist forming as the sun dries off the ground causing the steam to rise.  Feeling the warmth of the sun as it gets going and warms the roof of the FFZ.

It will soon be time to string the solar lights in the walnut tree and enjoy evenings outside watching the stars. Wonder if Olly the Little Owl is still around? Oh well enough musing, back to work.  Clearing in the Forest is my Fantasy Historical Novel.  Set in the Middle Ages, it tells the story of three children born out of wedlock to a Norman Baron and a village girl. Magic and history rolled into one.
