Sur l’accusation de racisme
Mais il me faut me défendre en combattant en quelque sorte contre des ombres, et réfuter une accusation sans que personne n'ait à en répondre
Apologie de Socrate, chap. II
Définition
Jadis adjectif désignant une doctrine de hiérarchie des races humaines, aujourd'hui nom commun qualifiant un babtou qu'a mal parlé. Proférée par des ignorants ("Les ignorants sont bénis" Matrix, 1999) qui répètent ce qu'ils ont entendu dire par un autre, car ils ont compris que le raciste perd toujours, que l'on peut sans payer se repaître de ses cuisantes, infamantes défaites, qu'il est doux de se ranger sagement du côté où ça paie, qu'il est lucratif de sagement dénoncer pour racisme toutes les fois que c'est possible son prochain, son voisin, son semblable. Au mot "racisme" 95% des Blancs s'effondrent. Mot absent du Littré.
L'accusation de racisme n'est pas une insulte mais une mise en danger.
Seule accusation qui n'exige pas de preuve, seule calomnie qui n'exige pas rétractation de l'accusateur lorsque démontrée fausse (mais par inflation chronique de l'acception du terme l'accusateur spécule sur sa validité rétroactive), seule rétractation qui n'exige pas de compensation, seule compensation qui n'admet pas de personne lésée.
La seule formulation même fallacieuse de l'accusation honore le Blanc qui dépasse alors publiquement sa condition de Blanc (dégoûtant) pour accéder à celle de Vigilant (maçon de synthèse, quasi-homme, Conscience). L'accusation de racisme est le joker gratuit de toutes les balances, de toutes les salopes, de tous les puceaux de la rue, elle exige de l'accusé mille contre-preuves jamais assez convaincantes, et à la mille et unième l'abandon des poursuites ne suppose de l'accusateur ni rétractation ni excuse. Replacé sur une frise chronologique depuis les années 60 (un point pour une accusation) on verra que plus le génocide anti-Blanc avançait, plus les accusations de racisme à l'encontre des Blancs augmentaient (nuage de points de plus en plus dense).
Que répondre?
Ne pas discuter, ne surtout pas se justifier. Dire "Tu as gagné un point Godwin, la discussion s'arrête ici, ciao", partir. Si la personne qui vous accuse agit en public et en haussant la voix, alors c’est une tentative d’ameuter la foule pour vous agresser (bien rentrer le menton : risque de coup de tête ou de sucker punch). Prudence. Si possible, retrouver l'accusateur plus tard, seul à seul.
L'erreur à ne pas faire
Clamer une communion voire mieux, une parenté avec telle autre race (Mais il n'y a pas de race). Prendre la posture du babtou honteux, adorateur d'Afrique et détesteur de son terroir vous sauve sur le moment face à une meute d'enragés, mais renforce à long terme les assiégeants ("Tu nous fais du tort à tous quand tu te couches" Les Princes de la Ville, 1993). On croit passer pour l'exact citoyen universel qui applique bien la leçon, mais on sera un cornutto e contente, une balance, une babtoue de grande couronne postulante à la carte verte, une Gwendo blanchablack envoyeuse de CV à Grégory Aouizerate dit Lansky, un Nekfeu, bref une putain. "Regardez! Je suis pas raciste moi! Je suis pas raciste!" etc.

Amazon Prime Video New Releases: October 2021
https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
Some streaming services pay lip service to October as spooky season. With its list of new releases for October 2021, Amazon Prime Video is making it clear that it’s a big priority.
Amazon’s biggest original series this month is straight up horror. The latest iteration of I Know What You Did Last Summer premieres on Oct. 15. Though the franchise is best known for its 1997 slasher movie, this particular series will hew closer to the original 1973 novel.
As for original movies, Amazon’s offerings this month are exclusively horror! The month begins on Oct. 1 with two “Welcome to the Blumhouse” features: Bingo Hell and Black as Night. That is followed to two additional horror indies with Madres and The Manor on Oct. 8.
The library titles coming to Amazon in October aren’t particularly horror heavy, but they do include the terminally underrated Alien prequel Prometheus on Oct. 3. Check that out and join the eternal argument online of whether it’s awesome or not (it is).
Here is everything else coming to Amazon Prime this month.

Movie Review: If only they'd remembered Harvey Keitel is "Lansky"
Movie Review: If only they’d remembered Harvey Keitel is “Lansky”
The dying old mobster wants to set the record “straight,” give us “the real story,” one more time in “Lansky,” the latest version of the “mob accountant” who allegedly died with hundreds of millions of dollars that nobody ever found. It’s a lot like many a mob memoir, especially a 1999 HBO film of the same title. That “Lansky” was scripted by David Mamet, starred Richard Dreyfuss, Eric Roberts,…

Gambling And The 20th Century Rulers Part 3
Mao Zedong 188xoso (1893-1976)
Mao Zedong was conceived on the 26th of December, 1893, in the town of Shannon of Hunan Province arranged in the south of the nation. Incredible helmsman, progressive - Marxist came to control in 1949 when betting was illegal in the nation. The maker of radical China did rather a great deal for getting into the rundown of the sternest leaders of the twentieth century; in any case, as a warrior against betting industry Mao didn't separate himself in any capacity, basically leaving the boycott in power. To be honest speaking, Mao had increasingly significant issues in the nation.
Kim Ir Sen
(1912-1994)
The maker of North-Korean socialism was conceived on the fifteenth of April, 1912, close to Pyongyang. The creator of Korean tenet about Juche and supporter of Marxism-Leninism was not an admirer of betting. During the standard of Kim Ir Sen activity of betting houses was impossible, nonetheless, the child of the incomparable North-Korean boss Kim Chen Ir after his dad's demise despite everything opened a gambling club. Well known Chinese mogul Stanly Ho helped him with opening of the main betting house in 1999. In spite of the fact that, it was not took into account natives to play in North-Korean gambling clubs, however there are a ton of Chinese players there.
Fidel Castro
(1926)
Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz was conceived on the thirteenth of August, 1926 out of a Cuban settlement of Biran. Since youth Fidel was a deliberate youngster, seeing his goal in the battle for freedom of the Cuban individuals.
Before the triumph of the upheaval during the standard of Batista every single Cuban gambling club had a place with Americans. A specialist of the acting president on betting industry was as a matter of fact Meyer Lansky, a famous American hoodlum.
Castro came to control on the first of January, 1959, when enduring an onslaught of the progressive armed force under his order the autocracy of Batista was finished.
Having gotten solidly settled in power, right off the bat, in 1959 Fidel Castro restricted betting industry - and he had his own purposes behind that: battle against Americanism. From the finish of February till May of 1959 gambling clubs were opened for quite a while, however completed their bookkeeping periods with negative outcomes and were eventually and unquestionably shut down.
Up to this point in one of the most excellent nations of the world pulling in huge vacationer streams there are no gambling clubs. For what reason is it so? This inquiry ought to be, clearly, routed to the Cuban president.
Saddam Hussein
(1937)
Saddam Hussein was conceived on the 28th of April, 1937, in the Iraqi town al-Awja in the south of Tikrit locale. He came to control in 1968 and changed the life of the nation to the point of being indistinguishable. While he was in power Iraqi turned into the recognizable force in the Near East, yet Hussein "become well known" not for this. Slaughter concerning Kurds, war against Iran, control of Kuwait, maximal conceivable autocracy set the name of the conceived in neediness kid on the primary page of the book about bleeding violations of the twentieth century.
Toward the start of Saddam's standard there was opened a race track in the nation, just as a club the presence of which is so hard to trust in currently just as in the way that Hussein was at one time the closest companion of the Soviet government.
In 1979 Saddam prohibited rounds of possibility. Furthermore, simply after topple of the rule Near-eastern despot, there were gradually opened betting houses. Shockingly, yet they were opened by Russian business visionaries.
Saddam Hussein is at present in Iraqi and is anticipating the legal sentence regarding various allegations introduced.

The double lives of New Zealand's celebrity impersonators
How is Austin Powers still relevant in 2019? And why employ the Queen for your birthday party? Alex Casey talks with the lobbyists of New Zealand's celeb impersonator scene.It ain't simple being shagadelic.Orewa local
Gary Brown, the only lawfully authorised Austin Powers impersonator in the world, understands that cold tough truth much better than anybody."The task can be exhausting. When I'm in that clothing, I am the character. I've got no option.
I've got to maintain the mannerisms, the walk, the insane one-liners-- it's what the people expect." By the end of a gig as Austin, Brown's velour match will often
be soaked with his own sweat. Some might presume that celeb impersonators are a dying type.
In a time where Prince can carry out as a hologram and any old Snapchat filter can transform you into a Kardashian catfish, they appear like a relic from bygone days when celeb seemed like something glamorous and illusory. However across the world, and here in New Zealand, there are many industrious individuals who still have a lot of skin-- and sweat-- in the impersonation game.Gary Brown has actually been carrying out as an impersonator considering that 1988, when he initially toured America as Crocodile Dundee. He's now been sharing his life with Austin Powers for more than 18 years, and describes it as" quite the enterprise"at about 40-60 paid gigs a year. Donning the cravat in 1999 for a swinging '60s home celebration, he noticed more than a passing similarity. Not long after, he was gotten in touch with by a buddy requiring entertainment for a large occasion in Australia. He informed them he might sing, he might dance and he could do Austin Powers."They wanted Austin and that was that. I got the jagged dentures done, the fit and the wig made and
discovered the right glasses." Gary Brown as Austin Powers. Image: Adrian Malloch When Brown arrived in Australia, accompanied by
former TrueBliss member Keri Harper in the function of Felicity Shagwell,
he realised the"large event"for his first paid Austin Powers gig was the Sydney Olympics."It was so fantastic, things got so crazy that we had to get guard to stop individuals getting images with us."Just like Brown, Auckland actor Judy
Rankin initially fell into impersonating through her noteworthy look. After playing Queen Elizabeth II in a regional theatre production in
the 1990s, word of mouth began to spread out of her regal resemblance."People began stating' you look rather a lot like her 'and the tasks just streamed in from there,"she states. Her very first gig was for a business association, sitting outside an estate surrounded by cucumber sandwiches and tea. Entry to the imitation game can likewise be born from a deep idolisation of a star. Pauline Berry, an ex-Marilyn Monroe impersonator, can affirm to that."I just really enjoyed her, and no one else was doing her at the time."Working as a backup vocalist, Berry saw an opportunity to do justice to Marilyn's skill."I wanted to do her as classy as she actually was, not because garish sort of way. People think that she wasn't a good singer, but she was the real deal." Her first look as Marilyn was being driven in a classic car in the Auckland Christmas Parade. The crowd, she remembers, went nuts for it. "I could see that it made individuals really happy, they purchased into this nostalgic minute where Marilyn was still alive. It was just so great."
The idea of who Marilyn Monroe is changes depending upon the individual, according to Berry. "I think she is an example for a great deal of people, but likewise a forecast of their failings or their successes. They see her one way, where another person may see her totally differently." Pauline Berry as Marilyn Monroe. Image: Supplied Another fan who was driven to embody his hero is Brendon Chase, New Zealand and Australia's premiere Elvis impersonator. He recently transferred to
the Gold Coast to widen his Elvis audience base, and is wishing to reserve a 3rd trip to Graceland quickly."I have actually constantly liked Elvis ever because I was a kid. When I went down to Rotorua in 1996 to support a buddy in the first ever New Zealand Elvis contest, I believed 'I'm sure I can do this'." He returned the next year, and won the entire competitors."I simply want to keep his memory alive, that's my vision,"says Chase, one of an international network of self-declared ETAs-- Elvis Homage Artists."It's likewise a way of keeping my passion alive in a different method from just purchasing posters and images of him. When you're onstage, you can see individuals return in time
to a various, better, point in their life. Music can bring back those memories pretty quickly. "It's his complete time task, he prefers to call it a"well-paid pastime". The change needs a lot more than a cheap outfit and wig, but nailing the aesthetic is a good place to start."Marilyn is extremely' impersonatable 'because she has such an unique look,"states Berry." If you get all the elements and toss them together, you'll have some sort of simulation."In
her Marilyn days, she maintained the iconic platinum blonde at the salon every 3 weeks."I was never as thin as her though, she was tiny."In a comparable vein, Chase currently owns seven bespoke Elvis suits-- with another in the mail.He has them personalized by Lansky Bros in Memphis, Tennessee. It's the same store that dressed Elvis throughout his profession, and purchased his patterns after he passed away." All my clothes are from there. That's how seriously I take this task, due to the fact that they are
n't inexpensive. If I was a carpenter, I would need a saw. It just so happens that I'm a vocalist and I need a match." Brendon Chase as Elvis. Picture: Supplied As soon as you have the iconography in place, you require to lock down the attributes."I work hard on the Queen's voice,"says Judy Rankin."I have never ever been able to smile like her, so I try and avoid that at all costs. Luckily, she
doesn't smile really much in public anyway."
When preparing for Marilyn, Berry explains an extreme mental game. "I consider being her all day, I watch her old films andfocus in on the method that she talks. It's a mindset that's really tough to sustain. "Having been Elvis for 26 years, Chase does not need to prepare as much nowadays. In reality, he boasts that he can"fall out of bed in character"and often forgets what his genuine voice sounds like. But that didn't come without a lot of practice and study."
It's like attempting to improve at a sport. There are four main points: the look, the presence, the outfits and the voice. Lots of individuals have actually got two or three of them, but not many have got all 4 ... I'm taking a look at three and a half, I believe. "Playing an imaginary character, Gary Brown confesses to having slightly more liberty when it comes to his Austin Powers act. But that didn't come without a few legal obstacles. When he initially released his website, he got a letter from a solicitor on behalf of Warner Brothers in California listing a variety of copyright infringements. He got their piracy supervisor on the phone and persuaded him, then the marketing division in New york city, that he was the real deal. They waived the violations, and gave him authorisation to keep the character alive. Does that mean it's possible that Mike Myers from Hollywood understands about Gary Brown from Orewa? He can't make certain on that one, but he was definitely made mindful of what is outside the Austin character oeuvre according to the character's developer. Promoting firearms is a big no-no. Taking a polarising character like Austin into
the real life isn't without its threats. Brown performs everywhere from birthdays to business events, the Sevens rugby and free public gatherings, and states that nearly everyone he satisfies reacts favorably."People either love Austin or they dislike him, but [the haters]
typically have a change of heart."There was only one circumstances, during the V8 Motorsport in Mansfield, where things turned ugly. "Some person didn't like Austin, so he threw me into the pool. I dislocated my shoulder and I could not perform for the remainder of the day. " Gary Brown as Austin Powers. Image: Adrian Malloch Berry dealt with a couple of unpleasant scenarios when she was working as Marilyn Monroe." I truly loved the singing however I wasn't so much into strolling about with the doopy-doop voice, resting on laps and rubbing men's bald heads."She rapidly discovered that sort of interaction is what some individuals were spending for."I had one female who was extremely dissatisfied that I didn't swoon all over her hubby and sit in his lap. That's just not my
thing. I did find it quite difficult attempting to determine if customers were anticipating Marilyn the singer or Marilyn the slut."In spite of a handful of disappointments, the impersonation market appears to have no shortage of fish stories. Rankin typically just looks like the Queen these days for 100th birthday celebrations, of which there are increasingly more. "If it still makes people smile, then I'll keep doing it. Because I'm certainly not in it for the cash. "It was at one guy's 70th birthday where Chase had an especially excellent day in the workplace. Upon Elvis 'arrival to the celebration, the elderly male immediately stood out of his wheelchair and began trying to dance." His kids all began bawling their eyes out around him. They told me he had not been able to stand up by himself for 20 years. That was pretty surreal."The fond memories icons of Marilyn and Elvis might survive on forever, however their impersonators aren't rather so indefatigable. After taking a trip to Hollywood to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Marilyn's death
, Berry chose to leave the act behind."I initially associated to her sensation alone worldwide, but eventually I stopped seeming like that. I understood that I had actually outgrown her." Judy is less poetic about the Queen circuit.
"If the work dried up, I would not be brokenhearted. It's simply a bit of enjoyable while it exists." Brendon Chase as Elvis. Image: Supplied Working towards winning an Elvis world title, Chase isn't letting go of his blue suede shoes any time soon. The fans won't either."Audiences still like him and they like the music. There are exceptionally fanatic people
out there, I still get screams and screams." One of his good buddies-- another ETA-- didn't secure the world champs until he was 55 years old."I have actually got a little time left in me, which is quite great. I'm fortunate that I keep healthy and the music keeps me young. As long as I do not end up being the fat Elvis, I'll be alright."
When it comes to Brown, he's still" riding the circulation"
of Austin Powers-- 15 years after the last movie was released. He's got gigs booked all the method through up until 2020, but is likewise intending to introduce his real estate career. To manage the two demanding tasks, he's connected to fellow entertainer-cum-realtor Shane Cortese for guidance." It will be a fascinating shift-- I desire to keep doing my programs since that's what I enjoy doing one of the most. "Without missing out on a beat, he uses a service. "Maybe I might simply become the grooviest person in property. "

Top 5 Myths About Las Vegas -BTW-
New Post has been published on https://btwthemes.com/wpthemes/top-5-myths-about-las-vegas-btw/
Top 5 Myths About Las Vegas -BTW-
It is time to dispel the highest 5 myths about this thrilling metropolis!
1. Las Vegas is all about playing.
It isn’t! Solely 40% of the whole income of the MGM-Mirage is derived from it, and we’re speaking about one of many largest casinos in Las Vegas! The rest is drawn from town’s incredible resort rooms, fantastic number of foods and drinks, spectacular sights and the alternatives of Las Vegas exhibits for youths that’s second to none!
Do you know that, since 2006, Macau has turn into the playing capital of the world, with Singapore drawing a detailed second? The Southern China playing enclave of Macau final yr recorded a gross gaming income of $33.5 billion – 5 and a half occasions the quantity that was most definitely generated alongside the as soon as globally dominant Las Vegas Strip throughout the identical time interval!
2. Las Vegas is dear. Not completely true. There are many cheaper choices if you understand the place to look, and listed here are just some of them. For instance, Las Vegas presents numerous free beautiful sights, such because the Lion Habitat on the MGM Grand Resort the place there are spacious viewing areas to observe the lions. A really respectable view will be had because the lions usually stroll proper alongside the glass separating them from the throngs of individuals looking at them.
Subsequent on the listing could possibly be the dancing fountains proper in entrance of the Bellagio Resort, which is a show of water, music and light-weight rigorously choreographed to mesmerize its viewers. Different free sights embody the Fremont Avenue Expertise pedestrian mall, or really feel the fun of a pc generated thunderstorm because it hits the hallways of the Miracle Mile shopping center. The rain pours, the thunder booms and the lightning cracks. The present mimics a ferocious North African thunderstorm.
You may preserve your prices down in case you keep off the Strip itself and make your manner as a substitute one or two blocks away from it. A lot of the lodges in these areas supply free and frequent shuttles that may get you to the Strip very quickly if and whenever you wish to be on the Strip.
three. Las Vegas is managed by the Mafia.
No, it’s not! Though playing was a part of Las Vegas life lengthy earlier than the mob acquired their fingers on town, it’s definitely frequent information that guys like Fortunate Luciano, Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky performed an enormous half in getting funding shifting there. They have been extensively credited as nicely with the event and unfold of organized crime within the States.
All of it truly started within the aftermath of the Second World Battle, when the Mafia had realised the moneymaking potential supplied by Las Vegas and, within the 1940s, Las Vegas and the Mafia grew to become tightly related. Nevertheless, they weren’t in a position to preserve the legislation off their backs endlessly, and finally, the 1980s noticed the FBI sweep into Las Vegas, arranging and overseeing the sale of the Mafia owned casinos to reliable house owners.

That is the parable that causes confusion. The reality is below Nevada state legislation, any county with a inhabitants decrease than 400,000 is allowed to license brothels if it so needs. The inhabitants of Las Vegas, as of 2010, is 583,756 and counting!
As of 2008, 28 authorized brothels existed in Nevada however, from 2009, prostitution was made unlawful below state legislation in Clark County, which so occurs to incorporate Vegas.
