#Live in Berlin 1968

[garudabluffs]

Ella Fitzgerald’s collaborations with jazz’s greatest instrumentalists, including Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, remain some of her most popular works.

How Ella Fitzgerald inspires today’s artists JUNE 06,2024

Nearly thirty years after the influential jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald’s death, her legacy and influence remain strong.

Two recent books are inspired by her story. A biography, “Becoming Ella Fitzgerald: The Jazz Singer Who Transformed American Song,” and the novel, “Ella.”

Ella Fitzgerald’s singing career began at the legendary Apollo Theater in New York City in 1934. When she was 17 years old, she performed the song “Judy” at Amateur Night. She won the contest.

Over the course of her career, Ella gained fame for transforming jazz vocals with her trademark scatting. She remade the Great American Songbook in her voice by recording versions of legendary classics by the Gershwins and others.

Who was Ella Fitzgerald? How did she influence jazz? And what can we learn from her incredible life story?

Ella Fitzgerald, Berlin, 1968: The Art of Subversive Improvistion

At a little-known concert from Berlin (West Germany) in 1968, the great jazz artist Ella Fitzgerald communicated many complex cultural and political messages through her brilliant interpretations of American popular songs. The evening at the Deutschlandhalle was broadcast on German television but never commercially released

Now, YouTube uploads have made this concert available and this will be used by Prof. Tick to present a historically informed and biographically grounded case study of African American musical practices in tandem with social change through Fitzgerald’s stunning ten-minute improvisation on ‘I Can’t Stop Loving You‘.

“Soulsville,” she announces, readying her audience for her subversive version of Ray Charles’s megahit. Through ‘signifying’ or satirizing the lyrics, quoting other songs – Aretha Franklin’s ‘Respect‘ floats by – and simulating a gospel trance for autobiographical word-play, Fitzgerald makes a proto-feminist statement on gender relations. Improvisation subverts the retro-lyrics offering ‘to live in misery of the lonesome kind‘: how ‘in sync’ Fitzgerald proves herself to be with 1968, a year of revolution in Europe and the United States.

Fitzgerald made two recordings of this song but nothing matched this Berlin moment, prescient with identity politics made memorable through the risky business of jazz freedom.

Hans Uhlmann (1900-75) undoubtedly was the pioneer of steel sculpture in Germany. Initially trained as an engineer Uhlmann by the late 1920s started to experiment with plaster as base material for plastics. In 1933 he was imprisoned by the Nazi police after Uhlmann had been caught distributing pamphlets opposing the regime, a "crime" he was sentenced to one and a half years of imprisonment for. After his release he tried to stay under the radar and took a regular job but in secrecy started to work on new sculptures made from wire and sheet zinc.

After the end of the war Uhlmann was asked by the US allies in Berlin to serve as art expert at the newly installed national education agency, a job he held until the summer of 1946, and organized a number of exhibitions of formerly banned artists. After a brief interlude as curator at Gerd Rosen Gallery he was named professor at Hochschule für Bildende Künste Berlin in 1950. After his retirement in 1968 Uhlmann lived reclusively in his Luckhardt designed row house on Schorlemerallee.

Although Hans Uhlmann was a prominent figure of the German postwar art scene there is relatively little substantial literature on him. Today's book is the artist's catalogue raisonné from 1975, published as part of the "Schriftenreihe der Akademie der Künste", a series that also includes significant publications on Hans Scharoun or the Brothers Luckhardt. It also contains a long description of Uhlmann's life and work by Werner Haftmann and although the text at times is a bit too much of a praise it nonetheless accurately describes the different phases of Uhlmann's career which began with abstract heads, continued with spatial lines and concluded with foldings, towers and columns, all of which are documented in the book's catalogue. In view of the catalogue's age and despite its quality it nonetheless is time for a new and revised edition of the sculptor's catalogue raisonné. But with the current Uhlmann retrospective at Berlinische Galerie there hopefully also will be renewed interest in the sculptor’s work.

ContaQt + Evan Ziporyn + Friends - Poppy 88 - Terry Riley's "Poppy Nogood and the Phantom Band" interpreted in real-time by "88 individuals, spread across 60 locations in 23 countries and 6 continents" for his 88th birthday last year

(And I hate that usage of 88 for purely numeric purposes requires an explanation/disclaimer)

On June 24th, 2023, to celebrate Terry Riley's 88th birthday, ContaQt and MIT Sounding presented a global telematic event that resonated – literally - worldwide. At the stroke of midnight EDT, a diverse community of 88 individuals, spread across 60 locations in 23 countries and 6 continents came together online to play music with one another, live and in real-time. With no pre-recorded material, no click tracks, no safety nets or contingency plans, together they performed Poppy 88, a collective composition arranged by Evan Ziporyn, inspired by - and based on - Riley's 1968 recording, Poppy Nogood and the Phantom Band The livestreamed concert pushed the boundaries of virtual telematic performance, showcasing the transformative power of artistic collaboration combined with smart technology to transcend structural and geographical barriers. While previous live telematic performances have involved larger ensembles, with groups of musicians clustered in 2-12 transmitting stations, this performance distinguished itself by originating from a significantly larger number of locations, 60 in all. This creative repurposing of technology is very much in the spirit of Terry Riley’s original piece. In the 1960’s, Riley utilized tape loops – originally a DIY ‘hack’ of reel-to-reel - to create distant canonic layers of melody: his ‘Phantom Band.’ For this performance, in 2023, the ensemble similarly repurposed the inherent limitations of streaming audio – i.e., physical distance and varying data rates – to conjure similarly complex layered textures. This global virtual event brought together musicians from Athens, Berlin, Brussels, Dublin, Istanbul, New York City, Pretoria, São Paulo, San Francisco, Tokyo, Toronto, Warsaw, and more. From Mallacoota, in southeast Australia, to Raufarhöfn, in northeast Iceland, and 58 other locations in between, musicians from a wide range of genres and backgrounds used Audiomovers’ ListenTo to stream their sound to Wawken, Saskatchewan, where Canadian composer/sound artist Jeff Morton mixed and retransmitted their sounds back to them – and the world – in real time. After watching the performance from Mito, Japan, Terry Riley himself joined the livestream to greet the musicians, expressing his profound appreciation: "It felt like the earth itself were singing. You are my community." Listening to the recording almost a year later, he added: “A year has gone by since I last heard it. It is an amazing journey through the sonic ethers of planet Earth. So many awesome musicians were involved. Also, the technical support was amazing without which it could never have happened.I am deeply honored and moved by the efforts of all my music brothers and sisters who contributed their efforts and artistry to make this almost impossible dream a success! ”  Directed by Evan Ziporyn and Jerry Pergolesi Technical Production by Jeff Morton, Wawken Studio Additional Technical Assistance by Andrew Noseworthy

416 pages. 9.75 x 13.38 Inches. Paperback. Edition of 4500.

価格：7,480円（税込）

/

1968年から1971年にかけてスティーヴ・ローレンスが発行し、ピーター・ヒュージャーとアンドリュー・ウルリックが編集に携わったニューヨーク発のタブロイド誌『Newspaper』の復刻版。

『Newspaper』は、言葉を使わず、写真だけを掲載した定期刊行物で、14号にわたって40人以上のアーティストの異質な活動を取り上げています。新しい作品と並行して流用された素材を掲載することに編集の重点を置き、1960年代後半の現代社会を象徴するハイカルチャーとローカルチャーの視覚的言語を体系化しようとしました。美術史的な言説からはほとんど見落とされているが、当時のアメリカで活躍し、尊敬されていた多数のアーティストと、新興のクィア・アーティストの仲間たちを紹介しています。

『Newspaper』は、1969年に創刊されたアンディ・ウォーホルの『Interview』や、レス・レヴィンの『Culture Hero』に先駆けるアーティストが発行するタブロイド誌のひとつですが、他のタブロイド紙とは対照的に、『Newspaper』はイメージに特化していました。

その全14号が初めてこの一冊にまとめられています。

Published by Steve Lawrence and edited with Peter Hujar and Andrew Ullrick, Newspaper was published in New York City between 1968 and 1971.

Newspaper was a wordless, picture-only periodical thatran for fourteen issues and featured the disparate practices of over forty artists. With an editorial focus on placing appropriated material alongside new works, the periodical sought to codify a visual language of high and low culture that represented contemporary society in the late 1960s. While largely overlooked in art-historical discourse, Newspaper showcased many of the most revered artists working in the United States at the time, as well as an emerging coterie of queer artists.

The mid to late sixties was a flourishing period for artists experimenting with new media formats such as books, records, and magazines to create or distribute their work. Newspaper was one of the first artist-published tabloids of its era, preceding Andy Warhol’s Interview and Les Levine’s Culture Hero, both of which debuted in 1969. However, in contrast to other tabloids, Newspaper focused strictly on images.

At a time when photography was not being exhibited regularly in galleries, Newspaper provided an alternative exhibition space for the medium and some of the era’s greatest photographers. The publication’s large size and unbound format encouraged readers to take it apart and hang its pages, which was how Newspaper was installed at the Museum of Modern Art’s influential Information show in 1970.

This is not to say that Newspaper only existed within the narrow confines of the art world, far from it. It lived within (and shared contributors with) a robust network of underground and queer periodicals like The New York Review of Sex, Rags, and Gay Power, among others. Yet, unlike many of these tabloids, Newspaper has largely disappeared from the discourse around underground magazines, queer publishing, and artists’ periodicals.

All fourteen issues of Newspaper are compiled in this volume for the first time.

Featured artists include: Diane Arbus, Art Workers Coalition, Richard Avedon, Clyde Baines, Sheyla Baykal, Peter Beard, Brigid Berlin, Richard Bernstein, Ann Douglas, Paul Fisher, Maurice Hogenboom, Peter Hujar, Scott Hyde, Christo and Jeanne-Claude Javacheff, Ray Johnson, Edwin Klein, Yayoi Kusama, Gerald Laing, Dorothea Lange, Steve Lawrence, Jeff Lew, Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Mercado, Duane Michals, Jack Mitchell, Forrest “Frosty” Myers, Billy Name, Stephen Paley, Warner Pearson, Jurgen Warner Piepke, Charles Pratt, Joseph Raffael, Mel Ramos, Lilo Raymond, Ruspoli-Rodriguez, Lucas Samaras, Alan Saret, Bill Schwedler, Leni Sinclair, Norman Snyder, Elizabeth Staal, Stanley Stellar, Terry Stevenson, Paul Thek, Andrew Ullrick, Andy Warhol, William T. Wiley, and May Wilson.

In 1985, Lorde was honored with the dedication of the Audre Lorde Women’s Poetry Center at Hunter College, where one of Lorde’s students continues to lead the program today.

Book party at Hunter College in the spring 1991.

A pilgrimage to the Pele, visiting a volcano in Hawaii with friends, there for the 1991 Eclipse. 

Lorde’s lover Gloria I. Joseph said Lorde would make these small collages with images and text for her friends.

The final page of the album shows a puppet street performance, Holocaust memorials in Berlin on Cook and Coss's last visit with Lorde, and images celebrating Lorde's legacy after death in 1992.

Curator Victoria Munro writes:

“Powerful and Dangerous: The Images and Words of Audre Lorde” exhibition at the Alice Austen House is a celebration of the radical work of Black, lesbian feminist, writer, activist and poet, Audre Lorde. The exhibition was a collaborative process made with some of Lorde’s closest friends, colleagues, and sister comrades. I was so fortunate to have their guidance in the creation of this exhibition. Two of Lorde’s long-time friends, Blanche Cook and Clare Coss, guided my initial explorations into the personal realm of her writing practice. They welcomed me into their home to view their archive of personal photographs and ephemera which spanned decades of personal celebrations and professional intersections.

Cook, Coss, and I discussed Lorde’s time spent on Staten Island (1972 to 1987) raising her two children, Elizabeth and Jonathan, with her partner Francis Clayton. Cook and Coss illuminated the many wonderful afternoons spent on St. Pauls Avenue and the powerful writing and teaching that Lorde produced during these years. Some of these works included her most celebrated:  From a Land Where Other People Live (1973), The Black Unicorn (1978), The Cancer Journals (1980), and Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches (1984). She also created a new publishing house with activist Barbara Smith called Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press.

The most revelatory object they shared with me was a large album of personal photographs they had created to celebrate Audre’s life when she passed in 1992. Up until this point, the only people that had viewed this album were Lorde’s children. I was so moved by Cook and Coss’s generosity when they allowed me to include this personal memento in the exhibition. The album was frail, and it felt urgent to protect and archive the documents so they could be shared with our audience and future generations.

To make this possible, I decided to create a self-published book that stayed true to the album’s arrangement, placement, and personal notes, and could be touched and shared. The entire album was carefully scanned by our archivist and brought back together digitally to make this a reality.

There are so many connections that these unique images make between lesbian artists, activists, and photographers. These images are essential to understanding the forces of creative collaborations and the lesbian community during that period.

This book represents an intimate portrait of Lorde celebrating her contagious energy, love of people, flirty fun lesbian play, and prolific writing practice.

Cook and Coss wrote this statement to accompany the album:

“Soon after Audre Lorde departed this earth, we found comfort and consolation in the creation of an album of our chosen family, featuring some of the happiest shared moments of our lives together. These snapshots illuminate high-spirited flirty fun gatherings: birthdays, holidays at Audre and Frances’ Staten Island home; romps in the Hamptons; Lesbian and Gay demonstrations in NYC and DC; Audre’s alternative cancer treatment in Berlin; our amazing Hawaii eclipse trip; Audre honored as NY State poet; the last sad loving goodbye days on St. Croix.

This is the first time we have shared this album with the exception of our god-children Elizabeth Lorde-Rollins MD and Jonathan Ashley Rollins. We thank curator Victoria Munro for her care and appreciation of our photo memories to be included in the Alice Austen House tribute to Audre Lorde.”

*Haaretz newspaper publishes*

An article by the famous Zionist writer Ari Shavit in which he says:

*It seems that we are facing the most difficult people in history and they have no solution other than recognizing their rights and ending the occupation.*

*Shabat began his article by saying:*

It seems that we have passed the point of no return, and it is possible that “Israel” is no longer able to end the occupation, stop colonialism, and achieve peace. It seems that it is no longer possible to reform Zionism, save democracy, and divide the people of this country.

He added:

If the situation is like this:

- There is no taste to living in this country.

- There is no taste in writing in Haaretz.

- There is no taste in reading Haaretz* and we must do what Rogel Alpher suggested two years ago, which is to leave the country...

If “Israeliness” and Jewishness are not a vital factor in identity, and if every “Israeli citizen” has a foreign passport, then not only in a technical sense, but also in a psychological sense, it is over. You have to say goodbye to your friends and move to San Francisco or Berlin or Paris.

From there, from the lands of the new German ultranationalism, or from the lands of the new American ultranationalism, one must watch calmly and observe the “State of Israel” as it breathes its last breaths.

We must take three steps back and watch the fall of the Jewish democratic state.

*Maybe* the problem isn't solved yet.

*Maybe* we haven't passed the point of no return yet.

*It is possible* that it is still possible to end the occupation, stop colonialism, reform Zionism, save democracy, and divide the country.

*The writer continues:*

I put my finger in the eye of Netanyahu, Lieberman and the neo-Nazis, to wake them up from their Zionist delirium.

Trump, Kushner, Biden, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are not the ones who will end the occupation.

It is not the United Nations and the European Union that will stop the colonies.

The only force in the world capable of saving Israel from itself is the Israelis themselves, by creating a new political language that recognizes the reality and truth that the Palestinians are rooted in this land.

*I urge you to look for the third way* so that you can live here and not die.

The Haaretz writer confirms:

Since the arrival of the "Israelis" to Palestine, they realized that they were the result of a lie fabricated by the Zionist movement, during which it used all the deceptions about the Jewish character throughout history.

By exploiting and exaggerating what Hitler called the Holocaust, the movement was able to convince the world that Palestine was the "Promised Land", and that the so-called Temple was located beneath the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The wolf turned into a sheep, which turned into a lamb. It fed on the money of American and European taxpayers, until it became a nuclear monster.

*The writer sought the help of Western and Jewish archaeologists*, the most famous of whom is “Israel Flyntstein” from Tel Aviv University, who confirmed that “the temple is also a lie and a non-existent myth, and all the excavations have proven it.” It has been proven that it completely disappeared thousands of years ago, which is clearly stated in a large number of Jewish references, and confirmed by many Western archaeologists.

The last of these was in 1968 by the British archaeologist Dr. Caitlin Kapinos when she was the director of excavations at the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem. She conducted excavations in Jerusalem and was expelled from Palestine because she revealed “Israeli myths about the existence of traces of Solomon’s Temple under the Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

Where I decided that there was no trace of Solomon's Temple and discovered that what the Israelis call "Solomon's Stable Building" has nothing to do with Solomon or the stables, but is an architectural model of a palace. It is common in several areas of Palestine, although "Kathleen Kenyon" came from the Palestine Exploration Fund Society, to clarify what was stated in the biblical stories, because she showed great activity in Britain in the mid-nineteenth century. in relation to the history of the "Near East".

*The Jewish writer pointed out that:*

The curse of lies is what haunts the “Israelis,” and day after day it strikes them in the face in the form of a knife in the hand of a Jerusalemite, a Hebronite, or a Nabulsi, or with a stone or a bus driver from Jaffa, Haifa, or Acre.

The "Israelis" realize that they have no future in Palestine, *it is not a land without a people as they lied*. And here is another writer who acknowledges, not the existence of the Palestinian people, but their superiority over the "Israelis", this is Gideon Levy, the leftist Zionist, when he says:

It seems that the Palestinians have a different nature than the rest of humanity... We occupied their land, called their youth whores, prostitutes and drug addicts, and said that a few years would pass and they would forget their homeland and land, and then their younger generation would explode in the 1987 Intifada.

*And we put them in prison*

We said: We will raise them in prison. Years later, after they thought they had learned their lesson, they came back to us with an armed uprising in 2000 that devoured everything green and dry.

*And we said to demolish their homes*

We besieged them for many years, and then they extracted missiles that were impossible to use to attack us, despite the siege and destruction.

*So we started planning for them with the separation wall*

And the barbed wire... and here they are coming at us from underground and through the tunnels and inflicting heavy losses on us.

*During the last war*

We fought them with our minds and then they took over the Israeli satellite (Amos)? They are planting terror in every “Israeli” home by broadcasting threats and intimidation, as happened when their youth were able to take over the second “Israeli” channel.

*And in the end, as the author says:*

It seems that we are facing the most difficult people in history, and they have no solution other than recognizing their rights and ending the occupation.

Article title:

"Israel is breathing its last breaths"

Ari Shipt

Haaretz Hebrew Newspaper

……………………………..

*Please distribute the article as widely as possible* because it is full of historical facts and was written by a writer from the occupying state.

The leaders and politicians of the occupation should know that normalization does not make peace, but rather restoring the rights of their owners is what makes peace.

people love to put the framework of privileged and unprivileged. like everyone loves to point out how it's easier to make money if you already have it. how it's easier to have a stable future where you get to choose what you want to do if you have support and connections while you're young from people with money and connections.

but they get real quiet when you point out how "occupier and occupied" intersects with "privileged and unprivileged" after a country has been decimated by war. You know what helps rebuild a place after a war? a place where suddenly there are a lot of guns and gangs and unemployed people and no work and limited food and housing because it all got fucked? money, institution building, and an armed occupying force that can keep everyone cool until shit is up and running again.

there's a lot of types of occupiers. you got dick heads like Russia trying to occupy Ukraine, you got America occupying Japan after WW2, you got America occupying south Korea, you got America occupying Vietnam, you got china not occupying 1968 Cambodia compared to America not occupying Cambodia in 1970 to 1973, compared to Vietnam occupying Cambodia in 15 July 1979 till 1989. you even got Russia and the US occupying their halves of Berlin. these are a lot of different kinds of occupations.

occupation can be bloody mass murder oppressive shit, but sometimes it saves millions of lives and helps a country rebuild into a safe and stable home. to define "occupation" as singularly evil, is really fucking dumb.

This is Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara and his wife Yukiko.⁣

⁣

They spent 18-20 hours a day writing and signing transit visas by hand in Lithuania for more than 6,000 Jews for 29 days from July 31 to August 28, 1940.⁣

Yukiko described their last days in Lithuania: "He was so exhausted, like a sick person. Even though he was ordered to go to Berlin, he said he couldn’t make it to Berlin and suggested we go to a hotel and rest before leaving. When we got to the hotel, the Jewish people came looking for us there. So he wrote some more visas in the hotel.⁣

The next day when we got to the train station, they were there too. So he wrote more visas on the platform until the train left. Once we were on board, they were hanging on the windows and he wrote some more. When the train started moving, he couldn’t write any more. Everyone was waving their hands. One of them called out, ‘Thank you Mr. Sugihara, we will come to see you again,’ and he came running after the train. I couldn’t stop crying. When I think about it even now I can’t help crying."⁣

As the train left the station, Sugihara said, "Please forgive me. I cannot write anymore. I wish you the best." It is estimated that the actions undertaken by him and his wife are responsible for the present lives of around 100,000 people.⁣

After the war, Sugihara was forced to resign and work menial jobs (selling lightbulbs door to door). He languished in relative obscurity until 1968 when an Israeli diplomat managed to find him and finally got him the recognition that he deserved.⁣⁣

Sugihara never told anyone what he had done during the war. Even his closest friends had no idea. "I may have disobeyed my government, but if I didn’t I would be disobeying God. In life, do what’s right because it’s right, and leave it alone."⁣

*Israel is breathing its last breath*

Under this title, the Hebrew newspaper “Haaretz” published an article by the famous Zionist writer (Ari Shavit) in which he says: It seems that we are facing the most difficult people in history, and there is no solution for them but to recognize their rights and end the occupation.

Shabit began his article by saying: It seems that we have passed the point of no return, and it may no longer be possible for “Israel” to end the occupation, stop settlement, and achieve peace. It seems that it is no longer possible to reform Zionism, save democracy, and divide the people in this country.

He added, if the situation is like this, then there is no taste for living in this country, and there is no taste for writing in “Haaretz,” and there is no taste for reading “Haaretz.” We must do what Rogel Alfer suggested two years ago, which is to leave the country. If "Israeliness" and Jewishness are not a vital factor in identity, and if every "Israeli" citizen has a foreign passport, not only in the technical sense, but also in the psychological sense, then the matter is over. You must say goodbye to friends and move to San Francisco, Berlin or Paris.

From there, from the lands of the new German extreme nationalism, or the lands of the new American extreme nationalism, one must look calmly and watch the "State of Israel" take its last breath. We must take three steps back and watch the Jewish democratic state sink. The issue may not have been resolved yet.

We may not have passed the point of no return yet. It may still be possible to end the occupation, stop settlement, reform Zionism, save democracy, and divide the country.

The writer continued, “I put my finger in the eyes of Netanyahu, Lieberman, and the neo-Nazis, to wake them up from their Zionist delirium, that Trump, Kushner, Biden, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton are not the ones who will end the occupation.”

It is not the United Nations and the European Union that will stop settlements. The only force in the world capable of saving Israel from itself is the Israelis themselves, by creating a new political language that recognizes reality and that the Palestinians are rooted in this land. I urge you to look for the third way in order to survive here and not die.

The writer in Haaretz newspaper confirms: Since they came to Palestine, the “Israelis” have realized that they are the result of a lie created by the Zionist movement, during which it used all deception on the Jewish character throughout history.

By exploiting and exaggerating what Hitler called the Holocaust, the movement was able to convince the world that Palestine is the “Promised Land” and that the alleged temple is located under the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Thus, the wolf was transformed into a lamb that was suckled by the money of American and European taxpayers, until it became A nuclear monster.

The writer sought help from Western and Jewish archaeologists, the most famous of whom is “Israel Flintstein” from Tel Aviv University, who confirmed that “the Temple is also a lie and a fairy tale that does not exist, and all excavations have proven that it completely disappeared thousands of years ago, and this was stated explicitly in a large number of Jewish references.” , and many Western archaeologists have confirmedthat ...

The last of them was in 1968 AD, the British archaeologist Dr. Caitlin Kabinos, when she was director of excavations at the British School of Archeology in Jerusalem. She carried out excavations in Jerusalem, and was expelled from Palestine because of her exposure of “Israeli” myths about the presence of traces of Solomon’s Temple under Al-Aqsa Mosque. ..

Where I decided that there were no traces of the Temple of Solomon at all, and I discovered that what the Israelis call

“Solomon’s Stables Building” has nothing to do with Solomon or stables in the first place. Rather, it is an architectural model of a palace commonly built in several areas of Palestine. This is despite the fact that “Kathleen Kenyon” came from the Palestine Exploration Fund Society, for the purpose of clarifying what was mentioned in the biblical narratives, because it There was great activity in Britain in the mid-19th century around history"Near East".

He stressed that the curse of lying is what haunts the "Israelis", day after day, slapping them in the face in the form of a knife in the hands of Maqdisi, Khalili and Nabulsi, or with a stone or a stone or a bus driver from Jaffa, Haifa and Acre.

The "Israelis" realize that they have no future in Palestine, as it is not a land without people as they lied to. Here is another writer who acknowledges, not only the existence of the Palestinian people, but rather their superiority over the “Israelis” - Gideon Levy, the leftist Zionist, when he says:

It seems that the Palestinians have a different nature from the rest of humanity. We occupied their land, and we called their youth prostitutes, prostitutes, and drug addicts. We said that a few years would pass, and they would forget their homeland and their land, and then their young generation exploded the 1987 Intifada. We put them in prisons and said, “We will raise them in prisons.”

Years later, after we thought they had learned their lesson, they returned to us with an armed uprising in the year 2000, devouring the land. We said we would demolishو their homes and besiege them for many years, and then they extracted impossible missiles to hit us with, despite the siege and destruction. So we began planning for them with walls and barbed wire. .

And then they came to us from underground and through tunnels, until they killed us in the last war. We fought them with our minds, and then they seized the "Israeli" satellite (Amos)? They bring terror into every home in “Israel” by broadcasting threats and threats, as happened when their youth were able to seize control of the “Israeli” Channel 2. In summary, it seems that we are facing the most difficult people in history, and there is no solution for them but to recognize their rights and end the occupation.

Men are Pigs (Männer sind Schweine)

Another Translation, again of a song by Die Ärzte (the doctors). I mentioned this one in the tags of my first post.

Because the concept of “all men are pigs who only want one thing and don’t have emotions“ is exagerated and used with some irony, this song has sometimes been seen as a kind of party anthem for toxic masculinity by that crowd, which is the reason the band didn’t play it live for 14 years, stating that this was not their intended message or audience. Fortunately it seems to no longer be popular in that way.

Men are Pigs (Männer sind Schweine)

 Hello, my darling, I love you, you're the only one for me I think the others are all stupid, that's why I'm courting you. You're different, you're special, I can always tell. Now strip down and lie down because I'm so in love with you. Before long it’ll get dark, it'll soon be night. So a word of warning is in order:

Men are pigs, don't trust them, my childThey all want the same thing, because that's how men are.

A man only feels like a man when he can give it to you. He'll lie his head off just to get you into bed, And then the next morning he can't even remember your name. Reckless and uninhibited, he's got no feelings whatsoever. To him, love is like spilling his seed, Girl, always be aware of that:

Men are pigs - don't ask for sunshine Unfortunately exceptions do not exist In every man, there is always a pig Men are sows, don't believe a word they say They pledge you eternal fidelity And then the next morning they're gone Yeah, yeah, yeah

“What have I done that you always torment me and say you don't love me?” “You don't have the slightest idea what love is - we don't even know each other!” *

 And if you do make the mistake of marrying a husband Your rose cavalier will turn into a beast soon after the wedding Then he'll show his true self, all unshaven and disgusting Drinks beer, watches TV, gets fat fast and burps and farts in the marriage bed Then you'll have King Kong for a husband That's why I tell you, please always remember:

 Men are pigs (shady pigs, nasty pigs) Don't trust them, my child (disgusting pigs, nasty pigs) They all want the same thing (stupid pigs, stupid pigs) But are blind to true love (horny pigs) Men are rats (shady pigs, nasty pigs) Face them with cunning (disgusting pigs, mean pigs) They want to copulate with everything (foul pigs, shady pigs) That stands still for too long (horny pigs) Men are pigs (Shady pigs, nasty pigs) Don't ask for sunshine (disgusting pigs, mean pigs) Unfortunately there are no exceptions (stupid pigs, Nazi pigs) There's a pig in every man (horny pigs) Men are cars (we don't want cop pigs**) Only without a spare wheel (nasty pigs, nasty pigs) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (molotovs and stones, cop pigs**)

*This is only one of the possible inserts here, an audio clip from the German dubbing of the movie Play Misty for Me (1971). The dubbing is, as most dubbings are, a terrible translation. In the original, the conversation goes:

  “Why are you playing these games? Why are you pretending you don't love me?” “I don't even believe I'm hearing this.” “But I love you!” “You haven't got the vaguest idea what love is. We don't even know each other.”

Other possible snippets are two scenes from Some like it Hot (1959)

 And one from Blue Velvet (1986), depending on which version of the song you listen to.

 **both of those text passages are in reference to a punk song from 1980 (MaP was released in 1998) called “(Wir wollen keine) Bullenschweine”, meaning “(we don't want) cop pigs”, in which part of the text is an instruction how to make molotov cocktails and which was a call to revolt inspired by police brutality and protests in west berlin in 1968, following a protest at which, amongst many other things, protesters were shot (the singer gives the instruction and then follows with “Like 68 in west-berlin”).  My translation can be found here

Peter with his mother and brother Nick, packing for Germany; photo published in the Detroit Free Press on March 22, 1946.

“Wife and 2 Sons Pack for Life in Broken Reich — Mrs. Virginia Thorkelson, 26, of 4711 Second, will be among the 1,000 American wives and children who will sail in April to join their Army of Occupation husbands in Germany. She and her two sons, Peter, 4, and Nicky, 15, months, were excited at first. But after they received ‘Circular No. 46, Accommodations for Dependents in Berlin,’ from the War Department, they were just buys. […] Mrs. Thorkelson, former manager of the CIO book store, is taking most of her books, records and pictures, a small phonograph and radio.” - Detroit Free Press, March 22, 1946

“I remember that when I was four and lived in Berlin, where my dad was stationed with the American Occupation Army, I learned to speak ‘street German’ fluently. We spoke English in the home [...], but outside all day I spoke German — and I spoke it like a real native. One day, this Colonel — who took pride in spotting anyone who was not a native by the way he (or she) spoke German — came up on our front lawn on his way to visit our home. I, rumpled and dirty as usual, was playing in the front yard. The Colonel said, ‘Get away from here, you little guttersnipe!’ — and I said, ‘This is my house — I live here!’ — and I started to go towards the door. The Colonel grabbed me by my hair and was yelling all sorts of obscenities, while I screamed back at him in my very best gutter German, when my mom threw the door open and called me. I needn’t finish the story, except to say that the Colonel’s face got very, very red.” - Peter Tork, 16′s The Monkees: Here We Are (1967)

“‘Being a conductor was my biggest ambition in my younger days,’ Peter confessed to us! And finally, he got his big break. And it was one of the most exciting things that ever happened to him in his whole life, short of becoming a Monkee, that is! The break was that he conducted a restaurant orchestra in Germany, and he was only four years old. So, you see, he really has been in show biz for ages and ages!” - Star Time, November 1967 [with thanks to Sunshine Factory!]

Q: “Can you think of any incident (like the time Peter conducted the orchestra in Germany) that happened while in Germany?” Virginia Thorkelson: “He spoke excellent German and used to translate for me when he was five. He was often taken for a German child. This occasionally led to difficulties.” - Tiger Beat, May 1967

“[H]is ‘very first best friend’ was a lovely German boy named Ule (pronounced Oo-lay). Ule was seven, two years older than Peter, but that made no difference. They went swimming and sailing together on the Wanssee in Berlin. Ule perfected Peter’s German (which, alas, Peter has forgotten, along with the French that he also used to speak perfectly).” - Catherine McGuire Straus, 16, September 1967

“[B]esides French, I used to speak German. I learned a little Spanish when I was in Venezuela. My father was working in Caracas for a year and I was there with my family for six weeks right in the middle of my beatnik period.” - Peter Tork, Monkee Spectacular, March 1968

Israel takes its last breath

Under this headline, the Hebrew newspaper "Haaretz" published an article by the famous Zionist writer (Ari Shabit), in which he says: It seems that we are facing the most difficult people in history, and there is no solution with them except recognizing their rights and ending the occupation.

"Shbit" began his article by saying: It seems that we have passed the point of no return, and it is possible that "Israel" can no longer end the occupation, stop settlements and achieve peace, and it seems that it is no longer possible to reform Zionism, save democracy and divide the people in this country.

He added, if this is the case, there is no taste for living in this country, there is no taste for writing in "Haaretz", and there is no taste for reading "Haaretz". We should do what Rogel Alpher suggested two years ago, which is leave the country. If "Israeli" and Judaism are not a vital factor in identity, and if every "Israeli" citizen has a foreign passport, not only in the technical sense, but also in the psychological sense, then the matter is over. You have to say goodbye to friends and move to San Francisco, Berlin or Paris.

From there, from the country of the new German ultra-nationalism, or the country of the new American ultra-nationalism, you must look quietly and watch the "State of Israel" breathe its last. We must take three steps back, and watch the democratic Jewish state sink. It may be that the issue has not yet been established.

We may not have passed the point of no return yet. It is still possible to end the occupation, stop settlements, reform Zionism, save democracy and divide the country.

And the writer continued, I put my finger in the eyes of Netanyahu, Lieberman and the neo-Nazis, to wake them from their Zionist delusion, that Trump, Kushner, Biden, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are not the ones who will end the occupation.

It is not the United Nations and the European Union that will stop the settlements. The only power in the world capable of saving "Israel" from itself, are the "Israelis" themselves, by devising a new political language that recognizes reality and that the Palestinians are rooted in this land. I urge you to find the third way in order to survive here and not die.

The writer asserts in Haaretz newspaper: that the "Israelis", since they came to Palestine, realize that they are the product of a lie invented by the Zionist movement, during which they used all the cunning in the Jewish personality throughout history.

By exploiting and exaggerating what Hitler called the Holocaust, the movement was able to convince the world that Palestine is the “Promised Land” and that the alleged temple is located under the Al-Aqsa Mosque. A nuclear monster.

The writer sought the help of Western and Jewish archaeologists, the most famous of which is Israel Flinstein from Tel Aviv University, who confirmed that “the Temple is also a lie and a fairy tale that does not exist, and all excavations have proven that it disappeared completely thousands of years ago, and this was explicitly stated in a large number of Jewish references.” And many Western archaeologists have confirmed that...

The last of them was in 1968 AD, British archaeologist Dr. Catelyn Kapinos, when she was director of excavations at the British School of Archeology in Jerusalem. She carried out excavations in Jerusalem and was expelled from Palestine for exposing “Israeli” myths about the presence of traces of Solomon’s Temple at the bottom of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. ..

Where I decided that there had never been any traces of Solomon's Temple, and discovered that what the Israelites call

“Solomon’s Stables Building” has nothing to do with Solomon or stables at all. Rather, it is an architectural model of a palace that is commonly built in several regions in Palestine, and this is despite the fact that “Kathleen Kenyon” came from the Palestine Exploration Fund Society, for the purpose of clarifying what was stated in the biblical accounts, because She showed great activity in Britain in the middle of the 19th century on the history of the "Near East".

He stressed that it is the curse of lying that pursues the "Israelis", and day after day, it slaps them in the face in the form of a knife in the hands of Jerusalemites, Khalili and Nabulsi, or with a group stone or a bus driver from Jaffa, Haifa and Acre.

The "Israelis" realize that they have no future in Palestine, as it is not a land without a people, as they lied. Here is another writer who recognizes, not the existence of the Palestinian people, but his superiority over the "Israelis", is (Gideon Levy), the left-wing Zionist, as he says:

It seems that the Palestinians are different from the rest of mankind. We occupied their land, and called their young prostitutes, prostitutes and drugs, and we said that a few years will pass, and they will forget their homeland and land, and if their young generation explodes the intifada of the 87.. We put them in prisons and said we will raise them in prisons.

Years later, and after we thought that they had learned the lesson, if they would return to us with an armed uprising in 2000, which ate the green and the dry, we said we would demolish their homes and besiege them for many years, and if they would extract impossible missiles to strike us with, despite the siege and destruction, so we began to plan for them with walls and barbed wire. .

And if they came to us from underground and in tunnels, until they killed us in the last war, we fought them with brains, so they took over the "Israeli" satellite (Amos)? And they terrorize every home in Israel by spreading threats and threats, as happened when their youth managed to take over the Israeli Channel Two. In sum, it seems that we are facing the most difficult people in history, and there is no solution with them except recognizing their rights and ending the occupation.
