De peperbus van nonkel Miele (72): aasgierkapitalisme
Grace Blakeley is de jonge Engelse auteur van het boek “Vulture capitalism”, wat we zouden kunnen vertalen als “Aasgierkapitalisme”. Ze schreef een helder en sterk gedocumenteerd boek over de misdaden van het huidig economisch systeem. Ze stelt dat de meeste ideeën die ze bespreekt niet nieuw zijn. Nieuw is dat ze als jonkie (31) komaf wil maken met de keynesiaanse-hayekiaanse verdeeldheid die…

For the Send me a fic of mine and I'll answer...
Since you've already been asked about At Your Heels and Breathe Through the Bruises, how about Nine Mothers' Sons?
ahhhhhhhhh nine mothers' sons, probably my favourite thing i've ever written
My favorite scene
Ooooh. Hmmm. There are a lot of moments in this fic that i ADORE but i think it has to be the ending:
“What was it like,” James asks him.
Brilliant. Terrible. Cold. Boring. Beautiful.
“Which bit?” Johnny bites back, no snap.
James laughs. “I dunno,” he says, as if he’s aware he’s being an idiot. “What was the best bit?”
“The best bit of being a bomber pilot?” Johnny asks him.
He thinks of the clear, beautiful blue of the sky, open around him like more ocean than you could ever imagine. Thinks of the crackle of flame over the hardstands, the buzz of the bars, the way Benny’s wrist fit perfectly in his palm, the look on Bucky’s face when he played Blue Skies on the saxophone. He thinks of the extra chain next to Solly’s dog tags, Ham’s gold tooth in the dark, Crank’s wooden forts, Buck and Macon doing calculus, Jefferson drawing girls he didn't know, Ev Blakeley coming back from the dead, Johnny Hoerr on his right for twenty flights.
He takes a sip of his whiskey, lets it sit in his mouth for a moment, lets it burn.
“The best bit of being a bomber pilot is the crew,” he says.
I didn't really know where I was going and then I got to "what was it like" and i had this... magic moment? where all of a sudden i knew EXACTLY what i wanted to say and it was like i was possessed by the spirit of John Brady.
Also this:
John Brady kills three men with his bare hands that day, and doesn’t for a moment feel anything like guilt the whole of the rest of his life.
I wrote that and had to take a moment.
Hardest scene to write
Oof. This.
Who's going to protect Bucky from the weight of his grief now? Brady, apparently.
“Alright, Major?” He says, for want of anything better.
Bucky looks up at him, eyes red and startlingly clear for the amount he's presumably drunk. It's barely afternoon.
“Little John,” he says, dredging the snide name all the way up from flight school, and he's only slightly slurring. “Draw the short straw?”
There's a pause where Brady doesn't know what to say, and then Bucky lets out a nasty bark of laughter.
“No, wait, I know why you're here. It's because everyone else is dead, isn't it, Johnny?”
Brady sighs. “C’mon Bucky, time to go.”
Bucky stares at him. “Night's young, Little John.”
“It's the middle of the afternoon. We're flying tomorrow.”
“Lucky us,” Bucky says. He gestures at the publican. “Have a drink with me, Little John, just one, and then I'll come when you call like a good dog.”
Something about the turn of phrase turns Brady's stomach. The way the other man is calling him Little John makes him feel hot and cold and furious and he misses Buck, badly. The publican looks at him with concern, almost a request for direction.
“Two whiskeys,” Brady tells him, and Bucky does that nasty hollow laugh again.
They drink in silence. Bucky is staring into the rows of bottles behind the bar like he's seeing the endless horizon for the first time. At rest, he looks slightly shocked. He's not telling himself a story now, there's no Boys Own Adventure playing today. He's a man with the bottom dropping out of the world.
“I'm so sorry, John,” Brady says, even though he knows better.
Bucky bares his teeth. “Don't make me break your nose, Johnny,” he says. “You've got no fucking idea.”
He's abruptly furious. “Who was in the right hand seat, Bucky?”
Bucky stares at him.
“Who was sitting next to Buck when Our Baby went down? Who was it?”
“Who was it?”
He doesn't really need to hear Brady say it.
“Benny,” Brady says anyway. “Benny was. So don't you tell me I've got no fucking idea. Might not be quite the same but it's close enough. Finish your god damn whiskey, we're going home.”
Dealing with Bucky's grief in a way that left room for interpretation while still allowing Brady to be really angry at him while also being kind? I felt like I was just flailing around, really.
Favorite character to write in the fic
Johnny Brady is my best girl and I'm not sorry. I love that man.
Favorite dynamic to write in the fic
For the last second string i said Brady/Bucky, and I do love that dynamic, but in this fic I think I'd say Brady/Benny. That steady love and support and acceptance. And of course, holy co-dependency, batman.
Why I chose that title
This was my first time writing a fic with such a strong recurring motif, and I think i was worried people might miss it?? dunno how. but i stuck it in the title just in case.
A fun fact about the fic
I fully imagined Brady and Benny as a totally platonic relationship all the way through this and only got bitten by the bug after.

Su ra doi va phat trien cua ho chieu
Chúng ta cùng tìm hiểu lịch sử phát triển của hộ chiếu và một vài điển tích lịch sử liên quan đến hộ chiếu. Có nhiều thông tin rất thú vị về hộ chiếu.
Năm mới đến gần, rất có thể quyển hộ chiếu của bạn cũng đến lúc phải được đổi mới, sẵn sàng cho những hành trình khám phá thú vị và thông suốt.
Cuốn hộ chiếu có ý nghĩa gì với bạn? Nó có thể cho biết quốc tịch của bạn hoặc khả năng sống, làm việc ở một quốc gia nào đó và chắc chắn kèm theo đó là những hư cấu mà chẳng mấy loại giấy tờ nào khác có được.
Vì vậy, có lẽ bạn nên xem hộ chiếu của mình như một biểu tượng nhỏ của những niềm vui và điều phiền toái trong các chuyến du lịch, một quyển sổ có vải bọc màu xanh, chứng nhận bạn có quyền tự do phiêu du khám phá thế giới, tìm hiểu các quốc gia và nền văn hóa nước ngoài, nếm thử các món ngon, thức uống độc đáo, chọn mua những món quà lưu niệm rẻ mà quý giá.
Thế nhưng có điều trớ trêu là khi hệ thống hộ chiếu hiện đại được lập ra như một hệ quả của Thế chiến thứ nhất, nhằm kiểm soát người qua lại biên giới, nó bị vài chỉ trích vì xâm phạm quyền tự do dân sự. Dù đúng hay sai, quyển hộ chiếu đã tỏ rõ quyền hạn của các chính phủ ngày nay.
Hộ chiếu đầu tiên có hình thức như một giấy thông hành an toàn. Kinh Cựu ước đã nói đến một lá thư được xem là tấm hộ chiếu đầu tiên trên thế giới, cấp cho ông Nehemiah vào năm 450 trước CN với cuộc hành trình từ vùng Iraq đến Israel ngày nay: “Nếu đẹp lòng đức vua, xin hạ lệnh cấp chiếu thư cho thần đem tới các trưởng vùng bên kia sông Êu-phơ-rát, để họ cho phép thần đi đến tận xứ Giu-đa”.
Những giấy thông hành này tiếp tục được cấp tại châu Âu vào thời Trung cổ, cho phép người mang hộ chiếu tự do đi lại, được hỗ trợ và bảo vệ khi cần thiết.
Vua Henry V nước Anh được coi là người thực sự phát hành hộ chiếu đầu tiên, cho phép thần dân chứng minh danh tính ở các vùng đất nước ngoài. Điều này được đề cập lần đầu tiên trong một đạo luật quốc hội năm 1414 và sau này trong vở kịch lịch sử Henry V của thi hào tài danh Shakespeare.
Từ “hộ chiếu” được cho là có nguồn gốc từ chữ “passer” (đi qua) và “port” (cổng hoặc cảng) tiếng Pháp, do tại Pháp, dưới triều vua Louis XIV khái niệm này đã trở nên phổ biến.
Vị “Vua Mặt trời” này được biết đã cấp giấy thông hành với chữ ký của mình cho các sủng thần trong triều đình. Năm 1793, Anh đã buộc phải làm hộ chiếu, hy vọng sẽ theo dõi việc qua lại eo biển Anh từ đất Pháp, nơi phong trào cách mạng được tự do hoạt động.
Loại giấy này được cấp với giá không hề rẻ: hộ chiếu cấp cho John Stepney năm 1778 có giá tương đương trên 1.000 USD ngày nay.
Đến năm 1800, hầu hết các nước châu Âu đều cấp hộ chiếu và như ngày nay, du khách thường được yêu cầu có thị thực khi sang các nước khác.
Vào thế kỷ XIX, du lịch quốc tế tăng trưởng nhanh kéo theo sự phát triển nhiều hệ thống hộ chiếu, nhưng trên thực tế lại có hiệu quả trái ngược. Do rất nhiều người du lịch giữa các quốc gia, hệ thống rơi vào tình trạng hỗn loạn và Pháp đã bãi bỏ hộ chiếu vào năm 1861, tiếp theo là nhiều nước châu Âu khác.
Khi Thế chiến thứ nhất xảy ra, các nước châu Âu bắt đầu thắt chặt biên giới và nhiều hộ chiếu được phục hồi. Đây không chỉ là vấn đề an ninh quốc gia và kiểm soát việc đi lại trong nước. Để chuẩn bị cho chiến tranh, các chính phủ có lý do buộc phải kiểm soát việc ra nước ngoài của nam công dân trong độ tuổi chiến đấu.
Năm 1915, hộ chiếu được tuyên bố bắt buộc đối với đàn ông Úc trong độ tuổi quân đội và từ đó trở đi, mọi người trên tuổi 15 đều được yêu cầu phải có một hộ chiếu để đến hoặc rời khỏi Úc.
Sau chiến tranh, Hội Quốc Liên (tiền thân của Liên Hiệp Quốc) đã tổ chức một hội nghị ở Paris nhằm thỏa thuận về tiêu chuẩn của hộ chiếu được các nước thành viên phát hành và cuối những năm 1920, hộ chiếu đã trở thành bắt buộc.
Cuối năm 1929, Bộ trưởng Nội vụ Úc Arthur Blakeley tuyên bố hệ thống hộ chiếu đã được chính thức áp dụng. Chính phủ Úc bắt đầu phát hành hộ chiếu sau khi Liên bang Úc ra đời năm 1901, mặc dù các quy định về hộ chiếu đầu tiên của liên bang chưa được giới thiệu cho đến năm 1912.
Trên trang mạng của mình, Văn phòng Hộ chiếu Úc cho thấy lịch sử hộ chiếu phản ánh sự phát triển của xã hội Úc, chịu ảnh hưởng bởi các bản sắc dân tộc, một cộng đồng đa văn hóa và “nền tảng pháp luật của hộ chiếu cũng phản ánh sự phát triển quan điểm về giới tính, gia đình và các thổ dân Úc”.
Ví dụ, một ghi chép từ năm 1934 ở Văn phòng Sở Nội vụ Úc mô tả việc từ chối cấp hộ chiếu cho một phụ nữ độc thân bị thiểu năng đầy tai tiếng, để cùng một người đàn ông ra nước ngoài và một người khác tìm cách ra nước ngoài kết hôn, trái với mong muốn của cha mẹ.
Mãi đến năm 1983, phụ nữ Úc mới được cấp hộ chiếu mà không cần sự cho phép của chồng.
Ngoài ra, nhiều cải tiến về bảo mật cho hộ chiếu đã được thực hiện, đặc biệt sau cuộc tấn công khủng bố ngày 11/9 ở Mỹ. Úc đã sớm áp dụng hộ chiếu sinh trắc học, hoặc “epassports”, kết hợp một con chip có chứa thông tin cá nhân để xác minh danh tính người sở hữu.
Những hộ chiếu này đã gây tranh cãi vài nơi, một số đối thủ cho rằng chúng dễ bị lỗ hổng bảo mật và gian lận, có người chỉ trích nói hệ thống hộ chiếu từ hơn một thế kỷ qua đã đụng chạm đến quyền tự do dân sự.
Thế giới ngày càng trở nên ít phụ thuộc vào giấy tờ và an ninh sân bay cũng hơn bao giờ hết được trang bị công nghệ cao, nên có vẻ hợp lý để tự hỏi, liệu hộ chiếu còn vai trò nào cho chuyến du lịch trong tương lai.
Vài năm trước, một công ty Đức thậm chí còn sản xuất thử nghiệm một mẫu hộ chiếu có tích hợp màn hình để hiển thị góc nhìn 3600 của chủ sở hữu. Một tranh luận khác về khả năng kết hợp thêm thông tin sinh trắc học, từ nhận biết giọng nói, nhịp tim và mùi cơ thể. Và rồi, tùy vào mùi hương của riêng cá nhân bạn, nét hư cấu vốn có của tấm hộ chiếu ngày nào có thể sẽ chẳng còn.

Dread by the Decade: The Tell-Tale Heart
👻 You can support me on Ko-Fi! ❤️
★★
Plot: A man is driven mad by the strange eye of his elderly housemate.
Review: Despite its loyalty to its source material and some memorable shots, the film suffers from a plodding pace and rather subpar lead.
Source Material: "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe Year: 1934 Genre: Psychological Horror Country: England Language: English Runtime: 55 minutes
Director: Brian Desmond Hurst Writer: David Plunkett Greene Cinematographer: Walter Blakeley Editor: Vernon Clancey Composer: John Reynders Cast: Norman Dryden, John Kelt, Yolande Terrell
------
Story: 3/5 - It's fairly faithful to Poe's story and has some solid moments of tension, but is both too long for its minimal plot and too short for the characterization needed.
Performances: 2/5 - Dryden largely seems more socially awkward than nervous or unhinged.
Cinematography: 3.5/5 - Some really good use of shadow and superimposition.
Editing: 3/5
Sets: 3/5 - Not very diverse but decent.
Costumes, Hair, & Make-Up: 3.5/5 - The prosthetic eye is surprisingly well done.
youtube
Trigger Warnings:
Mild violence

Medicine Ball Caravan Soundtrack
@ 1971 US Pressing
*****
Another largely forgotten event , overshadowed by the gi-normous Isle Of Wight Festival which took place on the same weekend . The festival was a hastily organized affair ,being the last concert of the Medicine Ball Caravan tour ,a strange affair which hosted a veritable horde of counter culture aficionados drawn from the ranks of the pranksters and the Hog Farm collectives. Ostensibly created to display the strengths of the counterculture- unity, peacefulness and alternative lifestyles, the tour was actually being paid for by Warner Brothers , who intended to make a profitable movie from the end product. These internal contradictions drew criticism from a number of the more extreme counterculture activists ( many coming from the same head space that the activists who sabotaged the Isle of Wight festival fences ) and their objections to the commercial aspects of the tour feature in the movie that eventually was released in 1971.
This was the background behind this particular festival, which was given minimal publicity at the time and despite featuring Pink Floyd and the Faces , only drew a crowd of some 1500. According to our sources , some 20 odd buses , filled to the gills with tie died coloured teepees, were brought over for the festival, which provided free food for all, as in the grand old Hog Farm tradition .The festival also boasted a stellar sound system for the time , provided by Alembic studios, who made equipment for the Grateful Dead (who were supposed to be the original house band for the tour, but who pulled out for unknown reasons ) . Their place was taken by Stoneground, a ten piece band from the Bay Area, who featured amongst their numbers bass player Pete Sears ( who went on to play for Jefferson Airplane ) . Sears was playing at this festival (see below ) and Sal Valentino and John Blakeley definitely performed as well at the Canterbury gig .
On the US leg of the tour , the Caravan had featured (in addition to Stoneground ) Alice Cooper, BB King and Doug Kershaw, but by the time the show rolled into the UK Stoneground were the only band left who had played the earlier concerts. To obtain Pink Floyd for the last show was a major coup and it is strange that they did not appear in the final film - which was edited twice, the original version by French director François Reichenbach and Gerard Patris. This cut was rejected by Warners , who brought in the young Martin Scorcese to make a more commercial version of the movie.
It is possible the UK bands did not give permission for their footage to be used. which would be regrettable , as those who were present attest to this being an excellent concert -great performances, great sound and a cool light show .The Floyd played Atom Heart Mother during their set and commented that this had been the best festival they had played all year so far .
BB , The peace sign is the other way round maaaaan......
