Hello and Welcome!

This is a blog dedicated to Journey to the West, where anyone interested may join in and follow along in a journey through Wu Cheng’en’s classic. This reading group will be focused on the Anthony C. Yu English translation, which the ever-interesting @journeytothewestresearch has helped provide completely free to download and read as pdfs! The link can be found below:

https://journeytothewestresearch.com/2019/06/07/archive-10-journey-to-the-west-2012-revised-edition/

In full awareness that everyone has their own busy lives and differing schedules, this reading group is working off of a “do-as-you-want” model. Everyone is welcome to submit their analysis, art, reactions, memes, criticisms, additions of context, etc. as we make our way through the journey, but there is no pressure but to have fun with the work!

That said, there is a reading schedule. This reading group has now made it through Volumes 1 and 2 of this classic, and will start up Volume 3 on September 15, 2024. The reading schedule encourages all interested to read one JTTW chapter per week. This group then "meets" every Sunday, which is be the day participants are encouraged to finish that week's chapter and/or submit their creative/analytical pieces about it. Sunday will also be the day where I will give a quick recap of that week's chapter, and will mass reblog anything participants submitted to have that work in the archive. Again, this blog has now made it through Volumes 1 and 2, and will start keeping to the reading schedule for Volume 3 starting September 15, so please have read “Chapter 51: Mind Monkey in Vain Uses a Thousand Tricks; Futile Water and Fire Make It Hard to Smelt Demons,” by then. You’ll find the reading schedule for Volume 3 below, and while not necessary I do encourage everyone to give a look at Yu’s introduction to this text in Volume 1 as well.

I want to end by stressing that it is completely understandable that new members would be concerned about joining after the reading schedule has officially started, and indeed after we have made it through the first volume. As such, I want to confirm that while this group encourages people to send in their submissions on Sunday for the chapter covered that week, you should feel completely free to both submit your stuff on any day of the week that’s best for you, as well as to send in art, memes, analysis, commentary, etc. for every chapter that has already been covered according to the reading schedule. In other words, all I’m going to ask is that your “late” submissions are in line with what happens in Volumes 1 and 2 and/or chapters in Volume 3 that the group has already read as laid out in the reading schedule below. So for example you should feel free to submit the sketches you made about Chapters 47, 48, 49, 50, and 51 on the Monday-Saturday of the week following the Sunday this book club finished Chapter 51, but please save your meme about Chapter 52 for the Sunday that chapter was scheduled to be read. So start, read, and submit as you can!

Thank you and thank you again to anyone who wants to participate anfd to everyone who has already expressed so much enthusiasm and contributed so much to this reading group! I’m very happy and excited to continue this literary pilgrimage with you all.

7 January -Harry back in London, date People reports that they broke up. Reports Scott swift told them to slow down.

9 January - Harry seen GQ dinner London. photos of Harry in Richard Bransons hot hub on front page after the break up. (I often wonder what the less famous people think now that they treated him poorly as a kid and he is massive now). Gordon Smart (1:12, warning he follows it with a bad anecdote about 18 year old H), who worked on media for One Direction, said in 2020 that Harry had said:

"Simon Cowell actually paid me to do some media training with them back in the day so I met them before they were massive and they were again really lovely kids. [...] I wrote a front page story about him sharing a jacuzzi with a girl on holiday and he told me it was bollocks and we still ran it, because we had a picture of him in the jacuzzi. It was probably totally innocuous and I really I'd like to apologize unreservedly to Harry for that because it was an error of judgment on my part and it probably tarnished our friendship."

Sleep No More Is Closing

It feels like my 20s are actually over.

(Alex, you're married and 35)

LAST NIGHT I DREAMT I WENT TO MANDERLEY AGAIN

For years, Sleep No More was my go-to answer for What To Do for birthdays, Halloween, Christmas gifts, and out of town recommendations. I missed that first year, 2011, when everything was new and magical and things were not horribly expensive, but there was still plenty of wonder between 2012 and 2016. There wasn't just the show there were the Salons, the Follies, the parties, the roof, all the opportunities. I still do not remember everything that happened for Halloween of 2012, other than I lost a pair of glasses, was carried from the door to my bed by my sister's friends, and somehow rallied to attend the opera the following evening.

I stopped attending as much in 2016 for [reasons], but the New Years Eve of 2017 into 2018 opened me for possibility that wound up being manifested two weeks later when I met Hilary. I brought her to a dinner party that August, which wound up the first photo we posted together, when I knew I had something worth sharing. We celebrated together for a COVID-free New Years Eve of 2021 into 2022 where we looked at one another and said fuck it why aren't we engaged? Once again, two weeks later that manifested into a proposal (or a mutually agreed upon decision to propose), which turned into our wedding this past July.

There weren't really as many trips in between that dinner and now. I celebrated my birthday in 2019, which may have given Hilary a small anxiety attack as the hotel had never been her speed, but that was it until that New Years Eve. COVID obviously saw to nothing in 2020 and 2021, and it may have had the last laugh here as well with the closure of the hotel. I saw the soft reopen in February of 2022 along with the real reopening on Valentine's Day, but my knees, the cost of planning a wedding, and my persistent need to say "I'm Sleepy!" (thanks hun) kept me from becoming a regular returning customer. But I had my memories. And I had the Discord server, where I could hear all the new news of the hotel, the parties, and the joy of those discovering it for the first time.

I'm going on Sunday afternoon for a full visit and an after-show Salon, which no doubt will feature a good deal of commiserating. The raven himself will be hoarse. We will attempt tickets for the final show, where the nightingale will sing in Berkeley Square one last time.

lewis hamilton, p3, during the post-qualifying press conference, texas, united states - october 20, 2023 (transcription under the cut)

Interviewer: "How do you reflect on qualifying?" Lewis: "Yep, good session for us. Really grateful for the improvements that the team have made with the car. Everyone has worked so hard to bring some upgrades, and for us to be this close to McLaren and Ferrari and even the Red Bulls, I think it's a showing of just how hard everyone's worked." Interviewer: "Where does the car feel different with these upgrades?" Lewis: "The car feels almost the same, it's just leveled up pretty much everywhere." Interviewer: "And you have a fantastic record here. You've only been off the podium once. How do you rate your chances of winning this grand prix on Sunday? Lewis: "Too early to say. None of us have done any long running, so have no idea. Maybe with the Bed Bull not in the top three, maybe that makes it a better, closer battle, maybe, 'cause they're often quite a bit ahead and just disappear into the distance, so hopefully the three of us can have a tight battle." [time jump] Journalist: "Sahil Kapur with NBC News. A question for Lewis, if I may: You're only thirty points behind Checo for 2nd in the championship. You've just outqualified him again. Given the full context of the season and the difference between your cars, how much, if anything, would wecond place in the championship mean to you this year?" Lewis: "All of us are pushing to finish first, so I think it would be just a showing of, really, resilience and strength and depth from our team. I think we had a difficult year, last year, and even the start of this year we didn't expect to be where we are, so to be fighting for second in the constructor's, obviously trying to hold that position to these two guys… And yeah, I don't know whether or not we'll catch Sergio, but given the difference of our cars throughout the season I'm really proud of the work that we've done. We've just got to keep our heads down, keep fighting, keep pushing. Like Charles said, they have a lot of work to do, as we do, so it's a race for development and it's who can get to the top of the mountain first for next year, I guess." [time jump] Journalist: "Andrew Benson, BBC Sport. Lewis, this is for you: James Allison was talking about this upgrade that you've got this weekend as being a kind of signifier for next year. Can you tell us whether it's given you sort of positive vibes, and if so what way, in that context?" Lewis: "Yeah, I don't know really if it's a signifier of anything for next year. As we continue to experiment we get more and more knowledge of where we're going, where we're routing the flow of the car. The floor is not a huge amount different, so it's… Obviously there's always hype with someone's upgrade, but the rest of the car is exactly the same, and there's lots and lots of areas in which we can improve, but this is an improvement. This is one of the first upgrades that I've actually felt over the last two years, so that's a positive, and we just need two or three times of this step [laughs] to put us in super-competitive mode, of which I believe the guys can do." [time jump] [Question not shown: "Sahil Kapur, NBC News. I just wanted to ask all of you, if you can reflect on coming to race in the U.S. over the last four or five years, how this fanbase has grown so much; how your experience has changed."] Lewis: "Yes, it's an incredible community that we have here. I've been here since the beginning, in 2012, so… Or I think already back then we had an amazing crowd, but there's a different… I think people who were coming were perhaps moreso new to it, maybe, but there's just a different energy, a different excitement, even bigger than before, and it's growing every year and it's something that you can really feel, and it's great to share that love and that passion for a sport that you've grown up with for so long with this great country."

Crimes That Shook Britain (East Midlands)

Murder of Kayleigh Haywood Kayleigh Haywood, 15, met Luke Harlow, 28, online in 2015. For two weeks, with over 2,600 texts, he groomed her. Said she was beautiful, declared his love, persuaded her to visit.

On Friday 15 November, Kayleigh’s dad dropped her at Ibstock Community College, Leicestershire, believing she was staying with a friend. At Harlow’s flat, Kayleigh met his neighbour Stephen Beadman, 29, and she was abused, plied with alcohol.

Her worried parents reported her missing. At 3am Sunday morning, a neighbour saw Kayleigh flee Harlow’s flat, naked from the waist down. Beadman chased her, raped her and killed her with a brick. Harlow was jailed 12 years for sexual activity, grooming and falsely imprisoning a child.

Beadman was jailed for life for rape, murder and false imprisonment of a child.

Colin Pitchfork November 1983 - Lynda Mann, 15, was found raped and strangled in Narborough.

The case went cold until July 1986, when Dawn Ashworth, 15, was raped and strangled less than a mile away. The year before, Alec Jeffreys, a British genetics researcher, had discovered DNA profiling.

Testing semen samples found at both crime scenes, Jeffreys linked the cases. Police asked local men aged 17 to 34 to submit blood. Jeffreys tested the DNA samples.

After being overheard admitting he paid a colleague to provide blood on his behalf, local man Colin Pitchfork, then 25, was arrested. His DNA matched both samples, and he was jailed for life.

Susan and Christopher Edwards In October 2013, police dug up a garden in Mansfield and found the remains of former residents Patricia and William Wycherley, 63 and 85.

The pairs daughter Susan Edwards, 56, and husband Christopher, 57, were arrested - turned out they’d shot and buried them in May 1998. For 15 years, Susan said her parents were travelling, but after living off their benefits, a letter to William from the Department For Work and Pensions scared them to confess.

They were convicted of murder and given life.

The Philpotts At 4am on 11 May 2012, Mick and Mairead Philpott’s home, 18 Victory Road, Derby, went up in flames. Despite Mick’s apparently valiant efforts to save their kids, Duwayne, 13, Jade, 10, John, 9, Jack, 7, Jesse, 6, and Jayden, 5, all died.

Detectives found petrol inside the letterbox, and suspected arson. But while Mick and Mairead sobbed during a TV press conference, police already considered them suspects. A tangled love triangle emerged. Mick’s mistress, who’d lived with the Philpotts, had walked out with her five kids- a custody hearing loomed.

Mick planned to torch the family home, frame his ex love, and win custody. But a horrific fireball engulfed the house, trapping his and Mairead’s children upstairs.

In April 2013, Mick and Mairead Philpott were found guilty of six counts of manslaughter. Mick was jailed for life, Mairead for 17 years. A friend involved in the plot - Paul Mosley, 47 - also got a 17 year sentence for manslaughter.

Murder of Danielle Beccan On her way home from the Nottingham Goose Fair in October 2004, Danielle Beccan, 14, was shot in the stomach and killed in a drive-by.

Junior Andrews, then 24, and Mark Kelly, then 20, part of the Waterfront gang, were charged. They hated the St Ann’s area where Danielle lived and they’d wanted to ‘shoot up’ people.

When they saw Danielle, Kelly pulled up next to her and Andrews opened fire. Andrews and Kelly were jailed for life.

Beverley Allitt Liam Taylor, 7 months, was the first victim of serial killer nurse Beverley Allitt, then 22, in February 1991 at Grantham and Kesteven Hospital, Lincolnshire.

Within 59 days she’d killed Timothy Hardwick, 11, Becky Phillips, 2 months, and Claire Peck, 15 months, and tried to kill or harm nine more children. Staff became suspicious of the number of heart attacks on the ward.

Allitt was the only nurse on duty when the children were attacked. She’d given at least two of them large doses of insulin. In May 1993, Allitt was given 13 life sentences.

BANKRUPTCY Judge delays shutdown of Infowars company

Sandy Hook relatives want it sold to help pay for 2 judgments

After a weekend in which conspiracy theorist Alex Jones warned that his media company faced an imminent shutdown by the federal government because of his bankruptcy cases, a judge on Monday allowed Jones to keep operating for the next two weeks while it is decided whether his assets should be liquidated.

Both Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems, filed for bankruptcy reorganization after he lost two lawsuits and was ordered to pay $1.5 billion to relatives of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

They sued Jones for calling the shooting that killed 20 first graders and six educators in Newtown, Conn., a hoax, claiming defamation and infliction of emotional distress.

The families have opposed Jones’ reorganization plans.

On Sunday, they filed an emergency motion to convert Free Speech Systems’ bankruptcy reorganization into a liquidation, saying Jones has not made progress in showing how he will pay the lawsuit judgments.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez in Houston said Monday he will address the motion on June 14, when a decision on whether to liquidate Jones and his company’s assets is expected.

Jones went on his web and radio show over the weekend with “emergency broadcasts” claiming Free Speech Systems, including his Infowars broadcasts, were going to be shut down at any minute by the federal government and bankruptcy system.

That did not happen.

At one point, he urged his followers to form a human chain around his studio in Austin to protect it.

Some of Jones’ comments came in profanity-laden rants, and Jones appeared to cry at points.

“There’s really no avenue out of this,” Jones said on his show Sunday.

“I’m kind of in the bunker here. And don’t worry. I’ll come back. The enemy can’t help but do this attack.”

The broadcasts were in response to apparent disputes between Jones, a chief restructuring officer appointed by the bankruptcy court to oversee Jones’ company and another company that supplies the nutritional supplements Jones sells on his shows, according to lawyers in the bankruptcy cases.

Jones’ lawyers have been unable to reach an agreement over the past several months with the families’ lawyers on how to resolve the bankruptcy cases.

Jones’ lawyer recently said in court that the cases appear headed to liquidation or may be withdrawn.

According to the most recent financial statements filed in the bankruptcy court, Jones personally has about $9 million in assets including his $2.6 million Austin-area home and other real estate.

He also listed his living expenses at about $69,000 for April alone, including about $16,500 for expenses on his home including maintenance, housekeeping and insurance.

Sandy Hook families aim to liquidate Alex Jones’ company

Austin man has yet to pay relatives $1.5 billion

Relatives of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting are asking a Houston bankruptcy court to liquidate the media company of Alex Jones, a conspiracy theorist who was ordered to pay $1.5 billion in 2022 for repeatedly claiming that the 2012 massacre was staged.

Filed Sunday in the federal Southern District Bankruptcy Court in Houston, the families’ emergency motion requests that the judge order Free Speech Systems to turn its assets into cash so that Jones can begin to pay back families he tormented for years as the host of Infowars, a subsidiary of Free Speech Systems.

Victims’ relatives have yet to receive a dime from the ordered payout while Jones, who is based in Austin, pursues a reorganization of the company.

“FSS has now lingered in bankruptcy for almost two years,” the motion reads.

“At this time, FSS has no prospect of a confirmable plan of reorganization, and has failed to demonstrate any hope of beginning to satisfy the Connecticut Families’ claims.”

In “emergency broadcasts” of Infowars over the weekend, Jones expressed fears that the show and the company will be shut down, claiming a supposed plot by the federal government and crying seemingly forced tears at times.

On Monday, he urged fans to tune in to “what could potentially be the last Alex Jones broadcast from Infowars,” after saying Saturday that the “feds” were plotting to shut down his show that night.

In separate trials in Austin and Waterbury, Conn., in 2022, judges awarded a total of $1.5 billion in damages to families of the 20 children and six educators who died in the Newport, Conn., mass shooting for harassment and threats they endured at the hands of Jones’ followers.

In September, The Associated Press reported that Jones was continuing to spend lavishly — blowing through $93,000 in June 2023 — while airing complaints about his financial issues.

Lawyers for the families, Jones and Free Speech Systems have struggled for months to resolve the bankruptcy cases.

The motion comes after statements Jones made on his show stating his belief that the court would dismiss the case and that he would be able to regain control of the company, which is currently run by court-approved Chief Restructuring Officer Patrick Magill.

In a hearing Monday, lawyers for Free Speech Systems said Jones’ comments have led to safety concerns for the company’s staff, Bloomberg Law reported.

In Sunday’s motion, lawyers for Sandy Hook families noted Free Speech Systems’ assets have significantly decreased and that it has accrued nearly $2.3 million in fees since a judge awarded the $1.5 billion judgment.

Jones is currently in the midst of litigation in a personal bankrupty case as well.

Judge Christopher Lopez said he would consider lawyers’ request for liquidation at a hearing

“FSS has now lingered in bankruptcy for almost two years. “At this time, FSS has no prospect of a confirmable plan of reorganization.” Relatives of Sandy Hook Elementary victims

June 14, according to Bloomberg Law.

Lawyers for Free Speech Systems and the Sandy Hook families did not immediately respond to American-Statesman requests for comment.

SANDY HOOK SHOOTINGS

Infowars owner seeks liquidation

$1.5B owed to families of victims of killings he said were hoax

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is seeking court permission to convert his personal bankruptcy reorganization to a liquidation, which would lead to a sell-off of a large portion of his assets to help pay some of the $1.5 billion he owes relatives of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

Jones and his media company, Free Speech Systems, both filed for bankruptcy reorganization after the Sandy Hook families won lawsuits against him for his repeatedly calling the 2012 shooting that killed 20 first graders and six educators in Newtown, Conn., a hoax on his Infowars programs.

But Jones and the Sandy Hook families have been unable to agree on how the resolve the cases, leading to Jones filing a motion Wednesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Houston asking a judge to convert his personal case from a Chapter 11 reorganization to a Chapter 7 liquidation.

“The Debtor does not anticipate that a resolution may be reached with the other parties in interest sufficient to confirm a chapter 11 plan of reorganization,” Jones’ filing said. “Given that there is no reasonable prospect of a successful reorganization, remaining in chapter 11 would incur additional administrative expenses without concomitant benefit to the Debtor’s estate.”

Jones’ bankruptcy lawyers did not immediately reply to Friday messages seeking comment.

Christopher Mattei, a lawyer for the families, said in a statement that “Alex Jones has hurt so many people.

The Connecticut families have fought for years to hold him responsible no matter the cost and at great personal peril.

Their steadfast focus on meaningful accountability, and not just money, is what has now brought him to the brink of justice in the way that matters most.”

The Sandy Hook families, meanwhile, are asking the same judge to convert Free Speech Systems’ case from a reorganization to a liquidation.

Hearing scheduled

Judge Christopher Lopez has scheduled a June 14 hearing in Houston to decide on how to resolve the cases.

Jones’ lawyers have said that the company’s case also appeared to be headed toward a liquidation, or it could be withdrawn.

Liquidation could mean that Jones would have to sell most of what he owns, including his company and its assets, but could keep his home and other personal belongings that are exempt from bankruptcy liquidation.

Proceeds would go to his creditors, including the Sandy Hook families.

If Free Speech Systems’ case is withdrawn, the company would return to the same position it was in after the $1.5 billion was awarded in the lawsuits and it would send efforts to collect the damages back to the state courts in Texas and Connecticut where the verdicts were reached.

Jones already has moved to sell some of his personal assets to pay creditors, including his Texas ranch worth around $2.8 million.

But a liquidation of Jones’ and his company’s assets would raise only a fraction of what he owes the Sandy Hook families.

According to the most recent financial statements filed in the bankruptcy court, Jones personally has about $9 million in assets, including his $2.6 million Austin-area home and other real estate.

He listed his living expenses at about $69,000 for April alone, including about $16,500 for expenses on his home, including maintenance, housekeeping and insurance.

Infowars’ parent company, Free Speech Systems, which employs 44 people, had nearly $4 million in cash on hand at the end of April.

The business made nearly $3.2 million in April, including from selling the dietary supplements, clothing and other items that Jones promotes on his show, while listing $1.9 million in expenses.

Warning of shutdown

Last weekend, Jones warned on his show that his company faced an imminent shutdown because of what he called a conspiracy by the government and Democrats related to his bankruptcy cases.

He urged his supporters to form a human chain around his Austin studio to prevent a takeover, and said he was sleeping in the studio to guard against a shutdown — which didn’t happen.

Lopez, the judge, ruled Monday that Jones could keep operating until June 14, when decisions on potential liquidations are expected.

Jones has said on his show that even if Free Speech Systems and Infowars are sold off, he could resume his broadcasts in some other fashion.

The Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office in Moldova on Wednesday said it had completed a criminal investigation into the Governor of Gagauzia, Evghenia Gutul, who is close to the fugitive oligarch Ilan Shor, and had sent it to court.

Prosecutors claim that from 2019 to 2022, when she was secretary in a department of the former Shor Party controlled by the fugitive oligarch, Gutul “was actively involved in … the systematic introduction of unaccounted financial means to Moldova, coming from an organised criminal group, mainly from the Russian Federation”.

Another charge is that Gutul “coordinated the activity of some territorial offices of the former Shor Party, being also responsible for remunerating participants in anti-government protests organised by the Shor Party in Chisinau, thus accepting funding … from an organised criminal group with a total amount of 42.5 million lei [2.1 million euros].”

“Gutul is charged with two counts of knowingly accepting the financing of the electoral competitor from an organised criminal group,” said the prosecutors.

Gutul was elected governor of the southern pro-Russian region in May 14, 2023. After the elections, she and the team of Ilan Shor, who supported her, were accused of buying voters. The National Anticorruption Center, CNA, opened a criminal case into “corrupting voters and violating the way of managing the financial means of political parties or electoral funds”.

Gutul and Shor denied the accusations.

On Monday, Moldovan authorities seized over 20 million lei [over 1 million euros] from Moldovans returning from Moscow where they had participated on Sunday in the launch of the new “Victory” political bloc led by Shor.

They had individually returned with sums of money worth less than $10,000 [to avoid declaring it to customs], which were to be used in the illegal financing of political formations controlled by Shor, the authorities claim.

The interim general prosecutor, Ion Munteanu, said on Tuesday on TV that he is examining whether the actions of several politicians who created the “Victory” bloc were treasonous.

“From our point of view, this action threatens the security of the state and is another manifestation of the Shor criminal group. I want to assure you that both the Prosecutor’s Office and … state security bodies have an obvious eye on all the actions concerning the participation of our politicians in Moscow, and in due time each action will be qualified,” Munteanu said.

Shor was sentenced in April 2023 to 15 years in prison for his involvement in the theft of one billion US dollars from three private banks in Moldova from 2012-2024.

He fled Moldova in June 2019 for Israel. This year he moved to Moscow, where he controlled several pro-Russian political parties and organized paid political actions, according to the authorities who constantly presented evidence in this regard.
