the last of the (false) prophets | a Dune fanmix

I've made the general Dune Part II mixtape and I've made the ironic FeydPaul mixtape, it's time for a Paul-centric playlist. This one is also made in the context of Part II because that film has bewitched me mind, body and soul 😔

I think the song choices are pretty self explanatory, so I'm not gonna write a big long song-by-song breakdown this time. I do have some notes on the choice of cover artwork and the pov of this playlist though.

If it isn't apparent by now, Paul isn't my fave character in Dune canon – Feyd-Rautha is. So why am I making a playlist dedicated to a character I don't even love?

In my years of consuming and creating art for my fandoms, I don't think I've ever come across a morally grey character that's half as complex and intriguing as Paul. Sure, I'm familiar with corruption arcs and self-styled messianic figures (Light Yagami from Death Note comes to mind). I've written for and continue to love characters who underwent cataclysmic deaths and resurrections, and came back wrong (see: Jason Todd from DC/Batman). And sure, Paul's character arc can similarly be boiled down to these familiar story beats of resurrection and corruption, but he's no angel at the start of his journey. He's aware of the trajectory of his story in ways these other characters aren't by virtue of being a seer of prescient visions. To walk clear-sightedly into his own ruination is such a fascinating thing to me.

Those familiar with the Major Arcana suit of the tarot cards will know the significance of The Fool: he is at the start of his journey, appearing to walk leftwards off a cliff with an optimistic smile because he's as yet unburdened by higher knowledge of lurking dangers. Like The Fool, I have Paul facing leftwards on this cover (flipped horizontally from the original Dune 2021 IMAX poster), because he too is embarking on a transformative journey when he enters the Arrakis deserts. The difference is, of course, that he becomes aware of his terrible destiny as a messianic figurehead for a holy war as soon as he sets off for this journey. And so it isn't with carefree optimism but the knowledge of his ruin hanging heavily on his shoulders that he takes his first steps into the desert.

The other major difference between the playlist cover and the Fool's tarot card design is how much smaller Paul's figure is in the composition of the whole image. The desert background easily dwarves his figure, which is something I've always loved about the IMAX poster. Despite all his visions of futures where he ascends to the mantle of a messianic leader, he is still just, at this moment in the canon timeline, a child. Small, and all alone in his journey. Not even his mother Lady Jessica would come to understand the weight of the transformation he will undergo.

Many of the songs on this playlist were ones that didn't make the cut for my general Dune playlist. But as I went along I realised it's grown into a love letter for Paul's character from the perspective of a sympathetic reader. "Found Heaven" and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" only make sense as monologues addressed to Paul.

Your heart is breaking as you leave that door

You never meant to start this holy war

But you're trapped, pack your bags

Don't look back

Don't be scared, little child

You're no demon

Rewatching Dune Part I really brought it home for me just how much of a child Paul still is when he enters the Fremen's deserts. He is frightened out of his mind by the knowledge that he will come to be the figurehead for whom millions will wage a holy war to the devastation of entire planets and deaths of billions, and it's a burden for him to bear alone. Did anyone ever stop to tell him not to fear?

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun ...

Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky ...

You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,

Blown on the steel breeze ...

Come on you raver, you seer of visions,

Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

If I'm not mistaken, "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" was written for Pink Floyd's own Syd Barrett, a genius lyricist whose declining mental health forced him to quit the scene too soon. Obvious parallels to Paul's madness aside, I like the metaphor this adds to Paul as not only a prophet but a painter / artist – which he is to an extent. He is an architect shaping the world into a future only he sees. The tragedy is of course that visionary artists often go where their lovers can't follow.

Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops

I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me

But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power

I'll find a way to be without you, babe

Janice Marilyn Foster, 18 (USA 1971)

18-year-old Janice Foster was approved by a hospital committee for a “therapeutic” abortion. Richard M. Neal, the abortionist, examined Janice and decided she was 12 weeks pregnant. The suction abortion was done at Valley Doctor’s Hospital on September 11, 1971. Neal reported that he thought it was uneventful. He couldn’t have been more wrong.

Janice’s brother-in-law picked her up from the hospital after the abortion and noticed she was very weak and sleepy. He brought her home, but she started suffering from abdominal pain. In September 14, the scared and sick teenage girl called Neal and told him what was happening. He didn’t tell her to go to the emergency room and simply said he would see her the next day.

That night, Janice felt very sick and went to bed early. At around 2:00 A.M., she suffered hot and cold flashes for approximately twenty minutes and then went into convulsions. Her brother-in-law called for help, and police and paramedics came. They found Janice in bed, apparently unresponsive. Paramedics attempted to revive her on the way to the hospital, but she was dead on arrival.

Janice’s autopsy revealed the malpractice and negligence she suffered at Neal’s hands. Her vagina was full of pus. The placenta was still attached to her boggy uterus, which also contained her baby’s mangled and rotten corpse. Janice died without knowing she was not in the first trimester, but unintentionally had an abortion at 19 weeks. Her son’s “macerated, lacerated and purulent” body “shows lacerations in the shoulder area, evisceration of the bowel through an abdominal laceration, and destruction of the skull and facial structures.” The uterus also held "approximately 20 cc. of red-brown purulent and foul-smelling liquid with similar odor and color to an exudate on the endometrial surface." In less than four days, Janice’s body had been ravaged by sepsis. It would have been an excruciating death for herself as well as her son.

Neal was indicted on a felony manslaughter charge in Janice's death by an LA County grand jury. His first trial ended in a hung jury on March 24, 1976 after four days of deliberation. The second trial ended in a hung jury on November 1, 1976 on the fifth day of deliberation. After two mistrials, a motion was successfully brought forth to dismiss the charges. Neal got to go back to his life in Beverly Hills as if Janice and her baby never existed.

[theretirementstory]

09/06/2024. Bonjour et bienvenue, it’s been a pretty tough week but at least we have had some sunny days and I have taken the opportunity to have a closer inspection of the plants flowering in my garden.

The photo shows lavatera, lavender and nigella which were planted about 3 years ago and still produce lovely flowers.

My week has mainly been spent in hospitals, travelling to and from Paris for a day was very fraught on Monday. I set off at 5:30am and arrived at the hospital at 9am. Bloods were taken and a transfusion was requested. The CT scan was booked for 15:30 which meant I would be pretty late home, however they managed to do the scan an hour earlier and I was hoping to arrive home around teatime. The taxi was requested (I thought he would be waiting) the hospital were told one hour, at 16:00 I rang saying the taxi hadn’t arrived and was told 45 minutes more! The taxi eventually arrived after 18:00 and a three hour journey home meant that I arrived in time for bed. As if that wasn’t bad enough I had to return on Wednesday for more transfusions. Again it was a long day as I needed platelets and hémoglobin 😩. The final day for transfusions was Friday, fortunately that was at Troyes but again it’s a full day taken up with treatments. I must admit to feeling better than I did earlier in the week so hopefully the new tablets for platelets, the daily injections for white blood cells and the weekly injection for red blood cells are doing some good.

Did I see Airforce One coming into land at Orly on Wednesday morning as I was en route to the hospital? What I saw was a rather large plane on a landing path, I was tempted to try and photograph it but there was also a chateau I wanted to “snap” unfortunately I didn’t get a shot of either as the traffic suddenly started moving faster.

I did have an enjoyable visit from a friend, on Tuesday, I had made a Pear and Roquefort quiche and served it with potatoes. I was pleased to say that I ate a quarter of the quiche (probably the most I had eaten in a while). I received some beautiful fragrant roses from my friends garden. When I inspected my roses I should have checked to see if they fragranced but I forgot so will have to do that next time.

I have also managed to do some washing and am trying to keep the house presentable. Afternoons however are spent relaxing which usually involves 😴 for an hour or so.

I didn’t watch any of the D-Day coverage as I guessed it would be pretty emotional and I knew I wouldn’t be able to cope with that.

I really must mention King Charles who had chemotherapy on Tuesday and still managed to be at the ceremonies on Wednesday and Thursday. I know that there are different types of chemo and not all types can “wipe you out” but it’s still a treatment and after all he is not a young man.

“My Personal Shopper”, my very kind neighbour, has been called upon quite a few days this week but he just rises to the occasion. Anie also did some shopping for me too but she has now met up with her family from Indonesia and they are going on holiday, probably to the south of France.

Coming home late on Monday, I noticed that the Hotel Pomme d’Or bar was open. It had been closed since December when a fire was started in the hotel part of the building. Good to see it’s open again but I don’t expect to be having a coffee in there anytime soon.

My hair is starting to grow back and I am hoping that this time I won’t need any treatment which would make it fall out again!

Another busy week for “The Trainee Solicitor” who, this weekend, is busy revising for exams next week. It’s the three day week at Uni and with that the early starts (he is following in his Mothers footsteps getting up early morning). As the course is only short it won’t be for much longer.

“The Reconnect Navigator” has had a few tough days but she has managed to work through them and was glad when the weekend came around. Not that there is much on the agenda with her partner busy revising but it’s the Canadian Grand Prix so she may manage to watch that.

“The Photographer” has been busy buying new clothes ready for his new job. A friend of his has found out she is expecting twins and revealed the sexes on a video. She is expecting a girl and a boy, it’s still a long way to go for her and I for one will be keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well. He had thought he was going to be busy with photography this weekend but that fell through at the last minute.

“The Jetsetter” headed off to Majorca, for a week, on Friday evening. A look at the weather forecast didn’t make it look too appealing but it’s a change of scenery. I have just had a quick look and it seems that it will still be top 20c so not too shabby. I am sure that a wonderful time will be had anyway, cloud or sunshine.

I am dipping out of the music part of the blog this week. I had difficulty coming up with some songs last week and so decided to have a little break.

Hoping you all have a good week until next week

Notes:

Wine and snacks to follow. Bring a snack, bring a bottle of wine, bring a friend. Any, all, or none of these is required to attend. We should enjoy a beautiful evening around the picnic table.

The quietly generous and charitable Mr.Butler bought us all pizza tonight. It was just exactly the right types and amounts so that everyone was well fed and satisfied. It was a veritable sermon taken from Matthew 6:2-4. If Herb wants he can call me and I will read the passages to him from the Christian Bible.

Miss Anna made a tasty home-made dessert (it had a name but I forget) that we fought over. Alicia made a warm dip (that also has a name) made of spicy cheese and meat (chicken?). Kayla/Linda/Smoothie and others joined hands and came up with all sorts of chips/nuts/deli meats/and cheeses and other stuff, and Robert bought several types of pizza that were delivered (late).

There were 6 or 7 very fine red wines, one excellent white, and a Rose'. I think there was one red left over. We were fortunate to have so many good wines to wash Robert's delicious pizza down.

It was getting late when Robert's pizza was delivered and Sammy D was leaving while speeding and horn-honking as is his custom and had to swerve off my driveway without slowing down fish-tailed through the lawn and irrigation heads but with consummate slalom canoeing skill managed to avoid a head-on with the pizza delivery man. I texted Sammy that he should return for a slice of Robert's delicious hot pizza that were of several different types and exactly the correct kinds but he had places to go and things to do.

I regret that I didn't hear every word because his mouth was full of pizza, but apparently Robert gets pizza half-priced because he purchases van-loads of pies and has them delivered to the baptist Children's home twice a week. I could have misunderstood.

I'll have to take some Tum's and sleep with my head up on 2 pillows to avoid having heartburn and gastric reflux from all that rich pizza of 2 different types that I enjoyed thanks to Robert.

Saturday at 0730 and 0930. It might rain.

Hey You,

It's been a rough year, hasn't it? A really, fucking, rough year. I am chuckling to myself as I write this out because it's only April and I am getting reamed in the ass one day after the other.

To the great energy wave in this sky, fuck you. I am just kidding, the energy of the universe neither presents itself as good or bad, just by sheer luck of the draw. And lucky me, I have been drawing shit cards lately...for the last 4 years.

On Friday, March 01, 2024, I was the last to leave the house and let our dogs, Toto and Libby, run around outside of their dog pen. Two hours later, I get a call from my mother saying that the house burned down and a call from my frantic father frantically asking if I left the stove on. In my sheer panic, I called my cousins who lives down the street, who also had their house burn down 10 years ago, saying that the fire is coming from the house in the front. Initially I was relieved that it wasn't my negligence that started but two fears came into mind immediately: One, are my pets alive and two, if it was my family in the front house that started it, it would be a disaster all around. I immediately rushed to my boss with a curt and fearful, "I need to go", and grabbed my stuff, running through the door. There was traffic on the way home and called my siblings who were not on island, updating of the situation. When I got back, I was barred from entering my street and met with my mother and some neighbors down the street asking what happpened. My father had apparently fought with the firemen and was trying to put out the fire himself on the roof. Understandably, he was upset and believed that the firemen were not doing what they could to prevent the spread of damage. Hell, they couldn't even start until HECo had shut down the live powerline that was burned down and flipping out on the street. When I got back to the house, I called out for my dog and Toto ran out while the firemen put out the rest of the fire. I could not find Libby or Bubby at all and feared the worst. The entirety of the front house was gone and along with all my extended family's stuff. My parent's stuff for the most part was untouched due to the CMU fire rated wall we had that protected the downstairs from the fire. The fire however crept to the back house second floor and into the ceiling. The fire damage was mainly external, but they did have to go in a chop down the ceiling, wrecking and soaking everything in the front portion, which included my room. Don't get me started thoguht, the smoke damage did get into everywhere but 10% of the house. I am thankful for my neighbors and family who showed up and gave us support that day. However, there something so gut wrenching and traumatizing about seeing despair in the eyes of my loved ones and feeling a sense of impending doom and helplessness everywhere I went. After all was said and done, I felt nothing that day.

Timeline of Fire Events:

03/01 - House Burned. Mother doesn't operate in hard situation and shut down, being unresponsive to critical decision making. Father was in inner turmoil and acted on emotion, pride, and recklessness. I have uncertainty on what is going to happen to my two dogs and my cat. I am broke. I am homeless.

03/02 - 03/07 - Stayed at sister's place. Parents decided to stay into the burnt house with a couple days at my sisters. Spent time rummaging through the mess to salvage what I could and store the important things. More uncertainty of housing for us and pets.

03/08 - We were placed into a hotel. Brother comes down to help out the situation. Can't help but think my siblings don't understand the gravity and immense pressure I am under. Pets have temporary homes with family members but know that's it's not a permeant fix and testing other family members patience.

03/09 - 04/12 - Sanity going down at hotel and I feel like a ghost. Parents are off in their own world dealing with the situation in their own way, that isn't necessarily productive. Continuous cleaning, moving, and storing of items. Insurance taking long to clean as well as delaying process in finding a rental home. The temporary housing company that is helping is doing a shit job finding us a rental home and barely responding or putting the effort into finding a home, with us reinforcing how difficult it is to find a home in hawaii and the need to be on top of it. We found someone to rent a place from and seems like a good prospect. Lease has been signed and getting ready to move into house.

04/15 - Moved into new rental. Parents are being annoying and unhelpful of the situation. They prioritized their stuff only and I slept on the floor and buying their essential needs.

04/16 - Parents bought their own bed and stuff and I get to use the air mattress.

04/17 - Situation comes up with landlord about them not being able to get a loan because the money they received was under the insurance and not under our name. We can't do anything really unless we get confirmation if it is okay to transfer money around like that.

04/18 - Situation is becoming nerve-wracking because it looks like there is not option on their end, which forces me into a corner that I can only responsibly respond with "please figure this out with insurance" as at the end of the day, we may become homeless and/or loose the money we have for a rental house. The situation is still up in the air, and I haven't heard a response yet from the landlord.

On top of this, we have a family vacation that we had planned for a year that is chaotic and expensive and draining my money like crazy. I was promoted at work, but the responsibilities just keep piling and it seems I am losing more staffing support more and more every day. There is also this terrible fucking project that doesn't seem to end, and everyone has their grubby little hands in it with no accountability and I am the one needing to organize and clean up this fucking trash as I keep rolling with the punches. I am in the middle/also involved to a degree in drama with my close friends and I can't even be emotionally or mentally available for that. I am a terrible person for pushing it to the side, but I know very well if I start to get involved with it, I will end up saying things I don't want to say and burning bridges unintentionally. My parents continue to prove to me that I live in the extremes, where one disassociates while the other goes on emotional rampages. It's been one punch in the gut after another and I can't cry because who would care and who would spare me any grace for situations they aren't involved with. To anyone else, I am a complainer, and I am not expressing gratitude for the life I still have, but how long can I take these frequently occurring beat downs? I am not superman. I can only handle so much pain and torment. My cup has been overflowing for years and suicide and depression has been at my doorstep most throughout my life. I am getting so tired of fighting it off.

*side note* My mom is trying to sleep because she works early in the morning. My dad is blasting his music in their room while he's sitting down in the couch in the living room singing at 1030 PM. He is incredibly selfish and self-absorbed right now, and while I can't say that my mom was doing any better earlier, this is fucking irritating. I wish my mom was more assertive with what she wants and wish my dad was cognizant of the people around him. I wish both of them actually thought before they opened their move or did anything.

I really feel so lost and clueless and hopeless and afraid and apprehensive and drained and stressed and restless. I wish I could just close my eyes and open them to find that the house has been rebuilt.

I want to move away from here but know I have a duty to see through at least for the next year or so.

I miss my fucking pets, fuck everyone else.

D-Day Squadron returns to Europe in 2024 with its DC-3s

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 07/23/2022 - 14:00 in Air Shows, Military

The Douglas DC-3/C-47 meeting in England, France and Germany was one of the most spectacular and crowded aviation events of the summer of 2019. Historical transport planes came to Europe from all over the world to mark the 75th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy (D-Day) and the 70th anniversary of the end of the Berlin air bridge.

The open day at Wiesbaden Air Base in Wiesbaden-Erbenheim in June 2019, in which 18 Douglas DC-3/C-47 participated, was unforgettable.

At that time, most participants and visitors assumed that, given the age of the aircraft, such an event would not happen again. But this does not seem to be the case, since the organization "D-Day Squadron, the DC-3 Society", based in Oxford, Connecticut, announced that it will organize this meeting again in 2024. Next week she wants to present her detailed plans at the EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Eric Zipkin, Director of Flight Operations of the D-Day Squadron and Chief Mission Pilot, said: "Having led the various DC-3 flights to Europe in 2019, the D-Day Squadron achieved a global presence consistent with our organization that allowed us to grow, multiplying our DC-3 presence and even creating the DC-3 Society where we actively help operators and enthusiasts with maintenance, operations, airworthiness and exhibitions. We won the war thanks to our logistical feats and it is right that, as commissioners of this noble type, we continue to fly and maintain the aircraft that formed the backbone of victory at that time."

The D-Day Squadron understands the magnitude of the work involved in organizing an event like this and therefore wants to work with several other organizations around the world. Among others, the U.S. Commemorative Air Force (CAF) has already shown its willingness to cooperate. The organizers also expect aircraft from North America, Europe and even Southeast Asia to participate in 2024.

The Hate Towards a Religion

By Kush Bansal, Rutgers University Class of 2024

July 20, 2021

Our world has faced many terrorist attacks from a numerous amount of extremist organizations over the years. However, there is one attack that changed all our lives forever. On September 11th, 2001, at around 8:45 a.m, an American Airlines flight crashed into one of the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. The crash caused many people to be trapped inside the building and killed all the passengers on the plane. Suddenly, a United Airlines flight had crashed into second tower of the world trade center just 18 minutes after 1st impact. The second crash has caused burning debris to rain all over New York City. Not only that, but another American Airlines flight had also crashed into the Pentagon Military headquarters located in Washington D.C almost an hour after the first attack. Finally, United Flight 93 crashed in Shanksville in Western Pennsylvania just half an hour after the third attack killing all the passengers aboard. Almost 3,000 people died on that day and on September 1st we remember those died, and who wo risked their lives to save others, in other words, we remember this day as 9/11. All of four of these planes were hijacked by members of the Islamic terrorist group known as al Qaeda. These hijackers were mainly from Saudi Arabi, as well as other Arab countries. Due to the fact that the terrorists came from an Islamic background, many American citizens took out their anger towards Muslims that lived in the U.S [1].

 After 9/11, many people blamed Muslims for the plane crashes, and they retaliated against them through the use of hate crimes against the minority group. According to the FBI, there was a huge spike in hate crimes against Muslims with almost 500 incidents in just 2001 alone. These crimes caused many Muslims to be afraid for their life. Shawana Ayoub spoke about her experience to the Huffington Post article saying how “‘I was afraid to go outside. If I stayed inside, I couldn’t mess up, except maybe with my words, which I policed carefully. I couldn’t speed, I couldn’t frighten anyone, I couldn’t break any law’” [2].

Not only that, but many of these hate crimes when after community sanctuaries like a mosque, a place where many Muslims feel the most secure and the most comfortable. In Dearborn Michigan, a local mosque was vandalized and was sprayed painted with the phrase “Go Home” and they even spray painted 9/11 and an marked an arrow from the date pointing to the word “murderers” [3].

Fortunately, there are many government agencies that are working to combat the hate crimes against Muslims. The Civil Rights Division under the Department of Justice has been trying to prevent future hate crime towards Muslims, Sikhs, and many individuals of South Asian descent. With the help of the FBI and many United Stated Attorneys, the Civil rights division have investigated over 800 hate crime incidents and have also filed Federal charges and allowed for 48 convictions. Furthermore, The Civil Rights Division also coordinated with local and state prosecutors to file 150 charges that were nonfederal against those who committed a racial hate crime [4].

Despite the consequences people received after committing racial bias acts against many Muslims, this racial issue is still going on. In 2016 there was a huge spike in hate crimes against Muslims, the number was even surpassing the high level in 2001. In this study they also included intimidation as an example of a hate crime, which can be defined as “‘reasonable fear of bodily harm” and their huge spike of intimidation cases in 2016 as well. The Pew Research also did a survey in 2017 and found that 75% of Muslims, whom were a part of the survey, say there is “a lot” of discrimination against Muslims in the U.S. Additionally, 50% of Muslims say that it “has become more difficult to be a Muslim in the U.S.” [5].

Even though 9/11 was almost 20 years ago, we still see Muslims are not able to freely express their religion and culture without having the fear of being attacked in any way. However, its important that we as a nation come together to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and help stop more racial crimes from happening to any minority group once and for all.
