📖September 20, 2023

🦈Continuing the topic about the creature with a claim to the mind of the AFK Alfa-VTB Systema, which gloriously entered itself into my life, killing my family members, and to which, as in a corporation of monsters, my children's socks were poured up (shares in my companies, my apartments, inheritance, cars, dogs, personal belongings, etc.), I want to express my human position on one important issue.

Sometimes I wonder if everything could have gone differently in my life, and unfortunately every time life gives me new evidence that I was not given to live my life differently, because of my origin. My origin sets the direction of my whole life, and I can’t live someone else’s life. Among my relatives, I think I'm very lucky that I'm still alive so long. My heredity is bad in only one thing - almost 100% guaranteed violent death. In everything else, I am very grateful to God for being born in my family and for learning about my pedigree. Do I regret what I've lost in these few years of struggle to save my own life and life of my dogs? The question is rhetorical. All my life I've lived on the principle of "refuse to get." There were more than enough examples when following this principle led me to stunning success. It's a kind of strategy on the contrary - if you do it like everyone else, you won't survive in the red ocean. I do not regret material things, in the end, having learned that all of them were flooded  mustard gas  - I want to laugh with all my heart at those who stole them. If you consider how much and what I've lost in terms of things in the dry residue, it's a lot, but it hurts me in a completely different way. Having an absolutely amazing family (of course I'm talking about real relatives, not Orekhovskaya gang’s bastards), I actually lost the opportunity to communicate with my relatives. All my direct ancestors, who transferred me such a cumulative stock of genes, with the help of which I actually survived this nightmare, they died already. You can buy a new car, repair a house, a computer, fix all material losses. The only thing I regret, which is irreversible, is what these Orekhovo-Cocosovo bastards and their bosses did - they deprived me of communication with my family while its members were alive. I will talk to my family members never. Can you imagine what do I feel? I lost the greatest unrecoverable value - human communication with my family while it’s members were alive. The second thing that hurts me a lot is that these scums poisoned my dogs. And finally, the third is the shame with which these scum covered my family, entering into our pedigrees seashore with fake passports and forged genetic tests, like this Orekhovskaya family of parents-tourists.

At some point, I stopped being afraid of physical death. I perceive it as an inevitability that overtakes every person in due time, and which for me means reuniting with my family, which I personally never knew because everyone except me died. What feelings did I feel when I fully learned my ancestry and origin? Quite simply - the desire not to disgrace my family and live my life with dignity in accordance with the principles that my family professed. They are expressed in two words - to serve the Fatherland. The only aspiration that drives me in my projects is not to drop the honor of my ancestors and live my life in such a way as to shamelessly write my name in the history of my family on a par with my direct ancestors: heroes who created great states and performed military and personal feats. For me, this is the most important motivation - to be a worthy representative of my dynasty. Everything else is secondary.

J. K. Rowling: A Short Biography

J. K. Rowling (depicted below) is the pen name of billionaire author Joanne Rowling, famous for writing the Cormoran Strike books under the pseudonym Hermann Goering.

Rowling was born to two lowly proles who worked the land wearing nothing but potato sacks. After the yoke by which her parents had to drag the plough snapped in two and killed them both in a tragic accident, Rowling found herself living in a council estate surrounded by chavs and knife crime. This inspired her to write the now famous series of children's books 'Cormoran Strike', which are credited with having inspired Britain's children to pick up a book during a period of record illiteracy.

Rowling wrote the first book, Cormoran Strike and the Philosopher's Stone, under the name J K Rowling to avoid being suppressed by the patriarchy. At the time, Britain was a significantly patriarchal country ruled by man by the name of Queen Elizabeth II. Rowling's gambit paid off, and by masking her gender she succeeded in having her book rejected by no less than twelve publishers.

Since then, her books have spawned ten movies including Cormoran Strike and the Chamber of Secrets, Fantastic Cashcows and Where to Watch Them, A Very Broadway Knockoff, and Lord of the Rings: Desolation of Smaug.

As the first female author in history, the highly progressive and liberal-minded Rowling used her subsequent fame to take rights away from ugly women, who were frequently vilified in her books alongside fat people and foreigners. She went on to write books under the name Herman Goering, a name she picked out of a book on eugenics as she felt that she needed to retain the name of a liberal male in order to sell books whilst distancing herself from the label of children's author.

Rowling now lives a humble life attending anti-queer rallies and Tweeting about how much she hates poor people from her 17th century mansion in Scotland. Her story, like her books, has inspired billions of people worldwide to turn a blind eye to obvious bigotry and human rights crimes.

How the Nazis LOST the Battle of Britain!

This is Shitholelandia, also known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

I won't insult your intelligence, we all know this awful island and the equally depressed people who live there.

Aside from containing your own misery, being an island has a strategic perk, it helps prevent invasion. One such case was in 1940.

This was Europe in 1940. France had fell early that year and left Germany as the sole hegemon of Western Europe (please bear in mind this was before the Allied Powers kicked their ass.) The fall of France gave Germany a lot of security in that region of Europe but there was one issue. Britain wasn't surrendering. It's not like Hitler could have just waltzed into London either, Schwerpunkt was a neat trick but Nazi tanks couldn't fly nor could they float on water. So, how could the Nazis knock Britain out of the war?

This is (a very unflattering image of) Herman Goering, and he had an idea. Goering's idea was to knock out the Royal Air Force and prepare for an attack on the UK to make them surrender. Before any actual landings could occur, Goering needed total air superiority to prevent the RAF from blowing all the transports up. So, Goering ordered the bombing of British air bases and radar stations.

This is a map of British air defences, circa August 1940. Most of these were targeted by the Luftwaffe. It was hoped, by Goering, that the destruction of the airbases and defences would cripple the RAF and whittle down the air force so that Germany could attack Britain. The RAF was very worried because they had genuine concerns as to the strength of the Luftwaffe, and well-placed concerns at that. The RAF had some benefits, though. Polish and Czech pilots had fled to Britain in the late 30s and they were very good pilots. What's more is that British planes were simply better than what the Luftwaffe had to offer. Nevertheless, most of the British airways had been completely flattened by Luftwaffe bombing raids by the end of 1940.

Here's a map. From the whole war, South England and Wales were especially harshly hit. But there was a problem for Goering, the RAF kept coming even after all their bases were destroyed and they were actually kicking ass. The RAF had simply resorted to storing planes and equipment in safer areas and taking off their planes on flat plains and grassland. This had not occurred to Goering. So, how could Germany possibly defeat Britain now?

This is (an even more unflattering image of) Herman Goering, and he had an idea.

The Luftwaffe resorted to domestic terrorism to make Britain surrender. They had gotten pretty desperate and were now losing more pilots than the British and, with Barbarossa looming, Goering needed to tie up this loose end and quickly, so the Nazis resorted to terror-bombing, London in particular. The Nazis understood that if a population do not want a war then the war was harder to win. The problem with terror-bombing London is that it inadvertently ended up hardening the will of the British to win the war and created the Keep Calm and Carry On mindset that persists to this day. This backfired even more when the RAF continued to gain strength and the night-raids over London basically turned into suicide missions for the Luftwaffe's bombers and the slower and larger ones in particular took the heaviest losses. 242 He 111s and 303 Ju 88s were destroyed between July and October 1940. The Luftwaffe started off at 2,500 strength and ended up losing around 1,800 planes over the course of the whole Battle for Britain. Eventually, the plans for invasion were called off and the raids would subside, for the most part. Raids would still occur but nowhere near as much, especially when Barbarossa kicked off.

The Luftwaffe was never in a position where it could have gained an upper hand. The RAF simply had better planes like the Spitfire or the Hurricane in particular and the RAF had better pilots too. And it shows. Both sides were evenly matched but the Nazis ended up losing twice as many men and 200 more aircraft than the Allied Powers.

Moral of the story? Never let Goering have ideas.

[origami-butterfly]

pick a couple pet peeves, or a character you really love (or hate), or anything really, just so long as you can rant about it for a long time, and answer this ask doing just that!!!

Suddenly I've forgotten everything I've ever been passionate about. Uhhhhh.... imma tell you about the Reichstag fire of 1933 because my history class spent one lesson on it, for a very small section of the course, and then it became an obsession of mine.

Picture the scene, it's February 1933 in Germany, 3 years into the Great Depression- arguably, Germany was hit hardest by it because of all the American loans they had taken out- so understandably, everyone is pissed at the government. The nazis are the most popular party in the Reichstag (kind of like the German parliament) and hitler has been chancellor for 4 weeks. At 9pm on the 27th of February, the Berlin fire department get a call: the Reichstag building is on fire. The fire department and the police arrive, and one of the lower chambers in the reichstag is burning. Police search the building, and find Marinus Van der Lubbe. Van der Lubbe was a Dutch communist, who had a fascination with fire growing up, as well as learning difficulties. Naturally, because he's a communist, the police (controlled by the nazis) go on a communist-arresting spree, and hitler goes around Germany blaming the communists for all their problems, using the fire as an example, in order to gain support in the elections in March. Slightly later in March that year, the head of the Berlin fire department suggests the nazis were involved in the fire, because they reportedly delayed the support of the fire department. He was arrested in 1937 and killed in 1939. Marinus Van der Lubbe is put on trial, along with 3 other communists in September 1933, and at the same time, another group of communists decide to investigate the fire, and produce "The Brown Book", which claimed the fire was entirely set up by the nazis, and- I cannot believe this is real- they claimed Van der Lubbe was gay and secretly in a relationship with ernst röhm, the openly gay leader of the SA, implying that röhm had used this secret relationship to manipulate Van der Lubbe. Most historians believe the Brown Book was mostly communist propaganda, and there is very little evidence to support its interpretation of the events, however it was probably right about nazi involvement- or at least, involvement of someone other than Marinus Van der Lubbe. At the site of the fire, there was evidence of chemical fuels, however Van der Lubbe only had his shirt as kindling on the night (he was found without one) as well as the fact there were fires in other parts of the Reichstag building that night, and Van der Lubbe would not have had the time to set all of them if he acted alone, but at his trial, Van der Lubbe confessed to setting the fire by himself because he wanted to start a revolution- although there's several things suggesting this confession was forced- he was given sedatives during his trial, and also tortured for his confession, combined with the fact that the jury at his trial were almost entirely nazi party members. That's most of the facts we know about, so no one knows what really happened the night of the fire. There are some accounts from witnesses that claim they saw SA members at the reichstag the night of the fire, and there's some saying they saw two men- Van der Lubbe and another- and there's some that claim they only saw Van der Lubbe, so it's difficult to know what really happened, and which accounts are nazi or communist propaganda. The only other thing that implies nazi involvement is in 1942, long after Van der Lubbe was executed, herman goering boasts at a dinner party with hitler "I am the only one who can talk about the Reichstag, because I set fire to it!". Maybe he meant it metaphorically, or maybe he meant he was involved with it, or maybe he meant it in a completely literal sense, but we can never know, and it gnaws at my mind CONSTANTLY.

Don't know if this is what you were expecting, when you sent the ask, but I hope you enjoyed reading all the same! (Sorry it took me so long to reply)

ADOLF HITLER

ADOLF HITLER

1889-1945

            Adolf Hitler was born and raised in Austria and had an unhappy childhood. His father was brutal, but Hitler looked up to his mother. He was a frustrated teenager and his artistic pursuits were disappointing, even though he had artistic talent. He served as a soldier in the German army during World War I where he was wounded. After the war he was lonely, isolated, and frustrated and he fantasised about much greater things and got entwined in politics.

            Germany was in an economic crisis and the German people were desperate for better days. In Munich, his party the National Socialist Party (NSDAP) attracted servicemen and disgruntled citizens. In 1924 Hitler was sentenced to five years in prison for staging the coup ‘Beer Hall Putsch’, he served only nine months and spent that time writing a book. Hitler’s book Mein Kampf (My Struggle) was published in 1925, the book was about his life and his political ideas. After his release he recruited Herman Goring, Heinrich Himmler and master propagandist Josef Goebbels.

            In 1933, his party won the parliamentary elections, there started the Nazi party, Third Reich and Hitler was their Fuhrer. Hitler predicted they would be in power for a thousand years and those who initially believed that the Nazi party wouldn’t last, would regret that they didn’t do more when it was possible.

            During his time in power he was known for his hatred towards Jews, Communists, Gypsies, political opponents and anybody else he disliked - he had them cruelty treated and killed. On 30 June 1934, was the Night of the Long Knives he destroyed any opponents, to get rid of Jews out of power and made sure he had total control. Hitler created the SS who were loyal only to Hitler and the secret police called the Gestapo. He had anybody he found undesirable sent to concentration camps, where millions died.

            Hitler embarked on a military program on a massive scale to make Germany a mega power. He attempted to take power wherever he could, the capture of Austria, Czechoslovakia, and the Rhineland; he then invaded Poland in 1939, which led to war with France and Britain. Winston Churchill refused to be duped by Hitler and even though Hitler first aligned with Stalin, Stalin later turned to side with the allies. In 1941 Hitler invaded the Soviet Union; the Russians were able to drive the Germans back. He then seized Denmark and Norway and then took over France in a matter of weeks. Hitler then declared war on the United States. The Allied troops invaded Germany from the east and west and had Germany in ruins.

            On 30 April 1945, Hitler and his wife Eva Braun commit suicide inside his Berlin bunker. The night before, around midnight, he married Braun. He wrote his will and declared Martin Bormann his deputy and expelled former right-hand man Hermann Goering and Heinrich Himmler for disloyalty. The two men had been concerned for Hitler’s mental state and doubted his ability to head the party in the last weeks of Hitler’s life when they would have known that the Third Reich was about to fall.

            Hitler and his closest aides had moved into the bunker below the Reich Chancellery garden on 16 January 1945 as allied forces closed in. The bunker housed medical staff, aides, telephonist and his secretary’s. The bunker was decorated in furnishings and artwork.

            On 22-23 April, those in the bunker had left but Hitler chose to remain until the end. On 30 April, Allied and Soviet troops moved into Berlin, prompting Hitler and Braun to end their lives. Braun swallowed a cyanide capsules and Hitler then shot himself. Afterwards Bormann doused their bodies with gasoline and set fire to them. That same day, Hitler’s minister Joseph Goebbels and his wife, killed their six children and then committed suicide. A week after Hitler’s death, Germany surrendered which ended World War II. The charred remains of Hitler remained in Russian custody, a skull fragment complete with a bullet hole and four teeth. Hitler and Braun were buried in unmarked grave in east Germany, their bodies along with those of the Goebbels family, were exhumed in 1970 on the orders of KGB boss Yuri Andropov, they were incinerated again, and the ashes poured into a river.

[harrison-abbott]

Many of us know the story about how Hitler was rejected from art college as a young man, having dreamed of being an artist since boyhood.

Joseph Goebbels’ biography shows a similarity. In that, he wanted to be a playwright and novelist in his early twenties. His material was rejected by publishers across Germany, and by the age of 27, he had given up with fiction completely.

Goebbels was also born with a limp. A disability that was congenital.

In latter life he would lie to his peers, claiming that he had suffered a permanent injury whilst fighting during World War I. When, in fact, he was never a soldier in the German army. He was actually rejected for military service due to his condition.

In his late 20s, he met Adolf in Munich, who was then an up-and-coming speaker. Goebbels saw him as a force that he wanted to be part of, which began a friendship that would continue for the next two decades.

His desire to be ‘close’ to Hitler often caused friction and jealousy between Albert Speer and Herman Goering, who both wanted the same thing.

On May 1st, Goebbels committed suicide with his wife, having served one day as Nazi Germany’s Chancellor. Before his suicide, he poisoned his six children with cyanide.

k normal ask. what's your favorite predator animal that could kill you (not weird i just like animals that can kill you theyre very interesting. like bears sharks)

EXTREMELY specific, but I love sturgeons. They... can only theoretically kill me, they don't eat live prey so they wouldn't TRY and kill me, but they could. They're BIG fish.

They're fish that can be more than ten feet long, live more than 120 years, and scavenge stuff on the bottom of riverbeds.

Have you heard of Herman The Sturgeon? He's Oregon's mascot fish. He was caught in the 1930's and became one of the attractions at the oregon fair. a 6 foot long fish, weight 200 lbs. Impressive. And he just chilled. He was a fair goer EVERY YEAR. (the same fish, transported by truck every year. what a resilient fish.)

Until he got KIDNAPPED in 1983. He was stolen right out of his pond, along with 6 other sturgeons. They're endangered, and Herman himself was a celebrity, so there was a statewide search for him.

None of the sturgeons were ever found. Bonniville hatchery was left without their big man.

UUnnnntil Herman 2 came around. Sadly, he dies only 10 years of fair going later, due to the fact that driving a fish in a truck is kinda stressful and he got an infection.

Now we have Herman 3. He's currently 80 years old, 11 feet long, and 500 lbs. He also has a radio tracker in his scales. AND he's female. Transgender king.

He survived a stabbing in 2007, with the attacker possibly being more injured than he ended up being.

THEN he survived the Oregon wildfires.

You can see him at the Bonneville dam hatchery, and some of his children in the pond nearby. I was a huge fan before I saw him, and I literally screamed when he swam up to the glass.

[warsofasoiaf]

So I saw one of your old answers to a question where someone called Herman Goering Hitler’s designated heir ‘on paper’. So this makes me want to ask, do you imagine that there would have been a kind of really bad power struggle between the Nazi leadership for the position of Furher if Hitler just went belly up at some point? I could see Himmler, Goering, and Bormann fighting each other for the position.

Sorry to disappoint TNO fans, but Bormann probably would not actually be in charge of a faction in the event of a civil war in the Third Reich. Pretty much anybody who was anybody in the Nazi Party positively loathed Bormann, much like Ribbentropp. He would have made an attempt, certainly, but I don't think he would have been able to secure enough of the Reichsleiter to support him. Goebbels would have been far more likely than Bormann of Hitler's inner circle. Himmler, certainly would have had the clout with the fanatical SS behind him, Goering probably would have attempted to get in charge as well.

The only real chance of an orderly transition of power would have been when Rudolf Hess was named Deputy and even then, that's a long shot.

Thanks for the question, Anon.

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." -- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials

Well, tonight then the first part of The Man Who Lived At The Ritz from 1989. Cast: Perry King - Philip Weber Joss Ackland - Hermann Göring Leslie Caron - Coco Chanel Sophie Barjac - Martine Fauvet David McCallum - Charlie Ritz John Grillo - von Behr and many more Story: This is a pretty-darn-good World War II movie. The Germans take over the Ritz Hotel in Paris. Perry King has lived there for years (and, so, is allowed to stay). Later, he befriends Field Marshall Herman Goering; (after noticing that one of Goering's "valuable" paintings is a forgery), he gets hired as his art expert. Later, he gets pulled into the Resistance movement. At this point, the story gets dangerous for him (and continues to the end). Coco Chanel (Leslie Caron) becomes his close friend; he loves one of Coco's models. I enjoy David McCallum's role, as the weak-kneed son of the famed Ritz owner (who also gets involved in the Resistance). It's a long movie (over 3 hours), so it fully paints each of the characters, and fleshes out the plot. - by dennisg-6 on IMDB Thoughts: Well, Philip sets up in Paris in 1927 and with his uncle's last will, he's allowed to live at the Ritz for good. We start with 1940 when Germany has occupied France and the higher Nazis like Göring, Göbbels and all are out to steal the French art and its masterpieces for themselves. Philip tries to stay neutral but it gets worse when he falls in love with one of Ms Chanel's girls, Lily from Poland. She asks him for help to flee but he can't, yet as he finds her dead at the hand of the Nazis, he changes his mind slowly. When Göring asks him for his expertise, he begins to become involved more and more since he's an art student. Soon enough, the doors are wide open for the Resistance and he meets Martine again. 

Now onto the second part. Since it's the same story, I only add my thoughts here: Philip becomes more and more involved with the Resistance and by helping Göring and his art, he finds out that someone close to him has to be a double agent. He first suspects Coco but as it turns out it's their mutual friend Armand who also plays tennis. However, Armand invites Philip to his castle where they could talk, yet Philip notices a statue which was in Göring's hands and is now in Armand's. The man wants to kill him but Philip turns the table around and has to flee. Being on the run, he has hunted by the Gestapo and Göring is disappointed. During a nightly chase, involving a motorcycle, Philip and Martine, who the Gestapo followed, they decide to jump into the Seine. Martine remains saved while Philip lets himself caught and in a cell, Göring lets his anger take over. Well, soon Mr Weber should be transported away but Göbbels steps in and let the man transfer to him, yet still Philip manages to escape and for some years helps the Resistance, along with Martine. However, when France is freed in August 1944 he's back at the Ritz, in his room - and Martine and celebrates the victory over Nazi Germany.

Be lucky if you can find a trailer online. Otherwise there are DVDs or downloads possible.

Irma Grese is mentioned in the most of sources as the overseer of the death camps Ravensbrück and Auschwitz, who received the nickname "hyena" for her distinguished cruelty. According to official legend, on the basis of testimony, Grese was sentenced to death and hanged on December 13th. 1945, after she was resurrected in the United States as Secretary of State with the name Madeleine Albright. There was no documentary evidence of Grese's guilt in the crimes imputed to her. The trial and execution were carried out on the territory of the Mecklenburg House, one of the Russified monarchical dynasties, married to representatives of the princely dynasties of Gediminovich and Rurikovich in Russia. Meanwhile, there are examples of the imputation of imperfect crimes to other natives of monarchical dynasties, indicated according to publications as the "top of the Reich" in the absence of sufficient evidence indicating the presence of corpus delicti in their actions. A deliberately unjust death sentence was a way of obtaining a waiver of the right of the heirs of monarchical dynasties to the throne and associated property rights. With the help of deliberately sham court decisions, the ZR/RiFLE program, as a tool for seizing state power in the territories not controlled by the United States, among other things, solved the problem of knowingly illegally obtaining the rights of hereditary monarchs, along with the direct mass extermination of representatives of the aristocracy and the nobility in death camps starting from the beginning of the 20th century, 30 years before the start of WWII. The House of Mecklenburg had the right to participate in the succession to the thrones of Great Britain and the successors of Prussia, and therefore the heirs of this dynasty became a desirable prey for property blackmail. The trial took place over the heirs within the territories of their royal houses. In this regard, the question of Irma Grese's guilt in the crimes imputed to her remains open, as well as who became the beneficiary of her waiver of the right. This case as a part of crime series, gives birth the definitely different representation of the substance of the serial mass murders in the death camps of the WWII, their beneficiaries, organizers, executors.

New York - September 2024

Just back from the Armory and related art festivities in the Big Apple which also hosted the US Open and New York Fashion Week. The eclectic mix of aficionados made for a raucous and visually entertaining backdrop for the supercharged events. On the art front, the Armory Show was center stage as it celebrated its 30th edition and its second at the revamped Javits Center. Other fairs visited were Independent 20th Century and Art on Paper. While the sheer proliferation of fairs in the last decade can inevitably result in hit or miss experiences, the gatherings nevertheless offer the opportunity to see thousands of works by a broad range of local and international artists all under one roof which, with some patience and visual filtering, always yields marvelous art finds.

This year the Armory featured over 235 leading galleries representing more than 35 countries. The notable absence of the mega-galleries and smaller overall international representation gave the fair a more local feel with an energized NYC vibe. The smorgasbord of primarily post-war contemporary offerings ranged from figurative to abstract with a hint of conceptual. The Javits Center easily accommodated the bulked-up size of the fair, and the comfortable spacing and layout enhanced the viewing experience.  Some highlights included: Deni Lantz’s dreamy John Zurier-inspired “Untitled”, 2024, oil and beeswax on canvas (72.0 x 59.84 in.); Anouk Lamm Anouk’s ethereal “post/pre Nº 64”, 2023, acrylic on linen (19.75 x 21.63 in.); Paul Feeley’s iconically shaped “Untitled (January 29)”, 1962, oil-based enamel on canvas (57 x 81 in.); and, Sara Siestreem (Hanis Coos)’s playful “foxes on the moon”, 2024, acrylic, graphite, Xerox transfer on panel board (49 x 72 in.).

Independent 20th Century fair was more highbrow. From a gallery perspective, that might be fine if the right people are showing up; from a fair goer perspective, the offering was more nuanced. Set in the historic Battery Maritime Building for the second year in a row, the smallish 32-exhibitor show primarily championed artists that applied their trade between 1900 and 2000. The highlights included: Squeak Carnwath’s painted patterns and thoughts in “Dick & Jane”, 1996, oil and alkyd on canvas (76 x 102 in.); Tom Fairs’ nightscape “Untitled”, c. 1998-99, mixed media on heavy paper (30 x 22 in.); and Rebecca Ward’s translucent “king ranch lll”, 2013, bleach on canvas (40 x 30 in.).

Art on Paper continued its run on the courts of Basketball City on Pier 36 and celebrated its tenth edition with a 100-gallery roster featuring top modern and contemporary paper-based art. On a relative basis, the offering was probably the most accessible from a price point perspective compared to that of other fairs which likely contributed to its enthusiastic appreciation by art fans.  Highlights included: David Richardson’s “White Roses #3”, 2024, chalk on paper (14 x 11 in.); Simone Christen’s “Moment of Bliss l”, 2023, ink on raw linen (30 x 24 x 1.5 in.); and Herman Cherry’s “Untitled #35”, 1968, oil on rag paper (18.25 x 23 in.).

One of the most impressive sights viewed during the New York visit was a billboard by Glenn Ligon spotted from the High Line at 18th Street and 10th Avenue. This new version of “Untitled (America/Me)” spans 25 x 75 ft and features an altered image of Ligon’s iconic 14 ft 2008 “Untitled” which stretches 14 ft across spelling out the word “AMERICA” in neon lights that flicker on and off.  In 2022, Ligon revisited “Untitled” by creating a print, the original “Untitled (America/Me)”, that manipulated a photograph of the neon by drawing X’s through letters leaving only M and E untouched. The billboard is a reprisal of that modest sized print (14 x 11 in., edition of 50) on a gargantuan level, magnifying perhaps the polarized state of affairs in America today.  

Meanwhile back in Hogtown, it’s time to heat up the grill with BBQ season nearly upon us. The burning question is who is going to run with the Barnes, Barrett and Quickley trio. The Big Austrian is a prime candidate in the middle, but who will suit up at the number 4 spot? The ask is for a 6’8” 240 lbs. defensive stalworth that can guard in space, run the floor and knock down 3’s at a 38% plus clip. The current roster’s cast of characters are not obvious candidates. Tricky Dicky, Kelly Canuk and B-Squared each fall short in a few categories. As the auditioning plays out in training camp and the pre-season, there may be some surprises among the lesser known and yet unproven entities on the payroll, but hope is not a strategy. The whole spells for some uncertainty regarding the upcoming season. Barring injuries, the Dinos may be good enough to better last season’s record of 25-67, but probably not good enough to make a splash beyond a play-in round. With that prospect, Sensei Masai’s hand will not be far from the tank button. In the interim, Coach Darko will have to manage as best as he can and be ready to pivot at any time.

Goering and the Hunger Plan

This guy is called Herman Goering. Chances are you've heard of him. This man is famous for having a crippling morphine addiction and stealing from every major French museum during WWII.

While this individual was certainly more eccentric than his other counterparts in the National-Socialist German Workers Party, he was an active participant and architect of a massive scheme to prepare Ukraine for German settlement.

Provided is a rough map of occupied regions circa to the start of 1942 alongside aims for Nazi conquest. The Nazis wanted to execute their General Plan for the East, Generalplan Ost. This envisioned the destruction of existing Slavic settlements in Eastern Europe to make way for German settlement.

This would have ensured the total German domination of Europe in the post war and the Nazis had aims to totally restructure the demographics of Europe. In short, total genocide:

There were many ideas thrown around as to how this could be accomplished. You may be aware of the many death camps in Poland in particular. The problem the Nazis faced was that the sheer size of the planned conquest would have necessitated other methods. The Wehrmacht was encouraged to execute entire villages, the 'Holocaust by Bullet,' as coined by Patrick Desbois, but Herman Goering had his own scheme envisioned in his Green Folder.

This document was created by Goering and used to testify against him in the Nuremburg Trials. Goering planned for the wholesale confiscation of food, which was sorely needed by the Wehrmacht in the war as their logistics could not keep up the war of movement in the East which led to institutionalised looting of everything from food to coats to boots, which was fully intended by Nazi High Command to further accelerate the murder in Eastern Europe when the winter came. Goering in particular was most concerned with the confiscation of food. On July 15, 1941, Goering would go on to write in the folder:

"Use of the occupied territories should be made primarily in the food and oil sectors of economy. Get to Germany as much food and oil as possible - that is the main economic goal of the campaign."

This is a morbid echo of what his peers were thinking. Keitel described the war as:

"An immediate and full exploitation of the occupied areas in favour of the war economy of Germany, particularly in the areas of food and oil"

And, when supervising the headquarters in Oldenburg, Goering said: "In the East, I intend to loot and pillage effectively. All that may be suitable for the Germans in the East, should be extracted and brought to Germany immediately."

It was fully believed by the Nazi High Command that the reconstruction of Eastern Europe post-war would be entirely unnecessary as the raw resources and goods pillaged would be more than sufficient. Surviving Slavs would be worked to death in factories salvaged or, if they had political ties, murdered entirely, with massive atrocities against settlements envisioned such as Leningrad, Moscow and Stalingrad. When the rapid end to the Eastern Front didn't come and the winter of 1941 had settled in with a firm Soviet resistance outside Moscow, the Nazis were forced to consider alternative methods to win the war. But in that time, millions of Ukrainians had already been starved or shot, including 1.5 million Jewish Ukrainians. Overall, 19 million civilians would die under the Nazi occupation of Eastern Europe.

The Green Folder would go on to be used during Goering's trial at the Nuremburg Trials. He would be found guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death. Goering would commit suicide before he could be executed.

I hope this post was helpful in spreading information on Herman Goering's role in the Holocaust and wider Nazi war effort.
