BOOK REVIEW: MICHAEL SHAARA'S THE KILLER ANGELS.

In a relatively extensive library - if I may say so (for my age) - until recently only one book on the American Civil War could be found, a rather prosaic work with lots of illustrations by Philip Katcher. That has changed now.

That has changed, since Katcher has now been joined by Shaara, more precisely by the latter's Pulitzer Prize-winning The Killer Angels.



The one book I already had was despite its many color plates and maps not very conductive to read - by contrast Shaara's The Killer Angels is a bombshell. It's an easy read in flowing prose, very difficult to lay down. I suspect much if not all of its readability has to do with its concept. Yes, it's a fictionalized historical novel - fictionalized in the way that the author has 'invented' its main characters' thoughts and verbal communication.

I am still reading the book - I have reached the point where Colonel Chamberlain of the 20th Maine Regiment, out of lack of ammo, decides on a bayonet charge down Little Round Top with the 'hinge' being his connection to 83rd Pennsylvania. Shaara cannot possibly have known what Chamberlain ordered his men verbatim - but it's clear he did massive research on what happened on that fateful day in July 1863 and what he puts in the Colonel's mouth (and mind) may be as close an approximation of the reality as you can get. I have encountered this style of history writing only once before, many years ago, in Rolf Palm's The Bridge at Remagen, and I recall I was smitten by it. And now it's happening again. Shaara brings the American Civil War back to life with an historical novel that's only fictionalized where it concerns the deeper psychology and the exact words and thoughts of its protagonists - but I bet there's few 'genuine', 'serious' history books that feed you so much hard data in such a limited volume: The Killer Angels is no large book. Irresistibly, the novel takes you by the hand and lets you accompany Union Brigadier General John Buford on a sweltering July evening in 1863 towards dusk and a sleepy town by the name of Gettysburg. You are present when Buford, upon noticing Confederate Infantry milling around on a road entering said town from the east, decides to deploy his two infantry brigades across that road, anticipating the small forces he saw are just the vanguard of General Lee's entire Army of Northern Virginia.

You are looking over Colonel Chamberlain's shoulder when his 20th Maine Regiment (rather, what's left of it) is suddenly burdened by the arrival of 120 mutineers from 2nd Maine - and how he deals with that situation. Effectively, by the way.

And on the eve of the battle you are watching from under a tree as Confederate General Longstreet observes his staff laughing, cajoling and playing poker, without Longstreet himself participating, because he has lost all joy in such merrymaking since the death of three of his children.

Jesus, why bother you any longer - JUST BUY IT!

It's DYNAMITE!!!


MFBB.

PS: question for any American Civil War buff: in the book, it is hinted that the South fought at least as much for greater autonomy for the States as for maintaining slavery. In other words, the South did not want a too powerful Central Government. It's what Shaara puts in the mouths and minds of several southern characters. What do you think of that? Is Shaar a closet, or not so closet, adept of the Lost Cause?

MUSLIM SAVAGES IN PARIS: 'OBAMA WE ARE ALL OSAMA'.

Paris. 2012.




Meanwhile the new French socialist government under François Hollande is busy with far more pressing matters than that French streets are taken over by AQ sympathizers. Via FOX News:

France is set to ban the words "mother" and "father" from all official documents under new plans to legalize gay marriage and give equal adoption rights to homosexual and heterosexual couples.

Under the proposed law, only the word "parents" would be used in marriage ceremonies for all heterosexual and same-sex couples, a move that has sparked widespread outrage, The Telegraph reports.

Changes to the civil code would mean swapping all references to "mothers and fathers," in legal documents, with the word "parents."

HILLARY CLINTON SHAMING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Its ambassador to Libya and three of his staff brutally murdered, its flags burned everywhere in the islamic world, the nation humiliated... ... and all that this administration manages to come up with is squirming in the mud and the dust for mindless paedophile worshippers. Mindless, and worthless. Dumb, and dumbest. When was the last time you bought a computer designed, or even just manufactured under license, in Yemen? Recently sat behind the wheel of a KSA produced SUV? How's that LCD display and state of the art audio system Made in Pakistan working out?

No, all that the ummah can produce is terrorists and oil, the latter only with western knowledge and skills. Yet Hillary Clinton sees fit to cringe and apologize to muslim scum on Paki TV. PAKISTAN for God's sake!!! PAKISTAN, which offered a safe heaven to the monster behind 9/11. Your tax dollars, 70,000 of them, at work:

I must admit that I myself was baffled by the lukewarm, no make that completely indifferent, reaction to the brutal murder of Christopher Stevens and three of his staff at the hands of a lunatic bunch of muslim zealots. I mean SERIOUSLY, the High Representative of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA to a country that only one year ago got rid of a bloody dictator thanks to the US military gets KILLED, his body is dragged thru the streets, three of his staff undergo the same fate, US flags are burnt, a consulate is razed to the ground...

... and all America can come up with is a 'president' and his 'secretary of state' uttering weak and baseless 'protests' and blaming the filmmaker instead???? HELLO?????

A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WORTHY OF THAT NAME would have dropped a couple of tons of ordnance on the Benghazi scumbags. Don't tell me they couldn't be hit. They could have been.

No, the strongest and most muscled response to the murder of these four hapless souls can be observed in the above videos. For God's sake what has become of America???

AALST, BELGIUM: LOCAL SOCIALIST PARTY CHAPTER SHUNS MUSLIM CANDIDATE FROM LIST UPCOMING MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

No, this is not a flying pig moment. It's not a broken clock moment either.

Then what is it?

Maybe, just maybe, a minuscule amount of doubt has been sown into the minds of the town of Aalst's socialists.

But it's not gonna change anything, because they are too stooped in PC thinking to connect dots, discern evolutions, think outside the box.

What has happened is that a 26-year old muslim woman was shunned from the SP.a-list in Aalst because she was deemed 'too radical'... by her own party, the SP.a. If socialists say that, it's got to be bad indeed.

The woman, Fatmagül Bilge, daughter of the chairman of the Turkish mosque in Aalst, insisted on appearing in headscarf on election posters, made it clear she supported sharia, and let it know that if elected she'd appear in islamic dress in Town Council meetings.

A bridge too far for the local chairman of the Aalst socialist party chapter, Dirk De Pauw. Who reportedly, together with Town Selectman for Integration Dylan Casaer, insisted she withdraw her candidacy for the upcoming municipal elections on October 14.


(source het Nieuwsblad)

It don't mean nothing. In two election circles, the SP.a will be 50 or 60% muslim anyway, no stopping sharia-supporting candidates in 12 years. Also, even now national SP.a chairman Bruno Tobback, darling of the Belgian press corps, gave a confusing signal (to Aalst socialists), indicating he had no problem with candidates showing religious symbols. Translated: the SP.a top brass, Asshole Superdeluxe Bruno Tobback up front, are willing (and eager so) to put their pants down, bend forward and get themselves fucked royally in the arse by that gracious belief system known as islam.

What does the eye of yours truly see?

Simple. There's been Fatima Bali, Selahattin Koçak, Selahattin Ozer, now Fatmagül Bilge. All dream candidates and posterchildren for DIVERSITY. All of them revealing themselves for what they really are: Trojan horses for islam.

At first sight articulate, intelligent, trustworthy. Then it's breaking promises and agreements (Bali), completely neglecting the duties of a town selectman and driving a car even when stripped of his license (Koçak), abuse of power and threatening off city personnel (Ozer). And now it's Bilge proclaiming she's for sharia law in Aalst. Memo to gays in Aalst: PAY ATTENTION BOZOS (not that I think it will hold you back from voting red again, you fucking idiots). You might want to chat with Ms Bilge to hear her POV re, erm, your lifestyle.

One cannot trust muslims. If you kid yourself you can trust people who are brought up with the very notion that it's GOOOOOOOOOD to be treacherous vis-à-vis infidels, you're a blunt fucking idiot.

Pardon my French. But once again, ignore Outlaw Mike's advice at your own peril.

SATURDAY NIGHT JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH, GABRIEL FAURE.

Johan Sebastian Bach wrote a number of harpsichord concertos prosaically labeled BWV 1052 to 1065 [BWV means Bach Werke Verzeichnis, or Bach Works Catalogue - MFBB]. Of these concertos, meant for harpsichord, strings and continuo, the first seven are written for a single harpsichord.

The following piece is the middle and Largo (slow) part of Concerto 1056, taking about 3 and a half minutes (the entire concerto, beginning with the Allegro Moderato part and ending with a Presto movement, lasts around ten minutes).



I meant to have this followed by another baroque piece but let's jump forward two centuries instead. Pavane by Gabriel Fauré. Heaven in your ears.



Fauré initially wrote his Pavane in F-sharp minor, Opus number 50, for piano. It is however better known in the version for orchestra. It seems that like this it is sometimes performed with an additional chorus, but I never heard it that way before.

I think that a while back I mentioned that the sarabande, a dance in triple metre, found its origin in a Spanish dance (it's rather from conquistadore-held Central America and only later moved across the Atlantic to the mother country, but whatever). Likewise, a pavane is inspired by a slow processional Spanish Court dance.

SAM BACILE'S 'INNOCENCE OF MUSLIMS'. MUSLIM RAGE AN EXPRESSION OF ANGER AT TOTAL FAILURE OF ISLAMIC WORLD TO GROW UP AND BE A VALUED PART OF HUMANITY.

In response to the statements by the so-called President of the Unites States, Hillary Clinton, Ban Ki-Moon, General Dempsey and the entire cabal of spineless cowards groveling in the dirt and procastinating themselves for retarded paedophile worshipping sand apes, I'll post Sam Bacile's movie.

On first sight, I don't think it's a great work.

However, it's great value lies in the fact that it demonstrates clearly how the muslim world has become humanity's burden. All races and religions should move forward to better life on this planet and to broaden humanity's horizon to realms beyond the confines of our planet. I believe that is our ultimate goal.

Most earthlings make sufficient progress to make that goal happen sometime - especially where they adhere to capitalist principles. Some are faster than others, but that is in se unimportant. Botswana and South Korea have different dynamics, but it's clear that, say, over the past sixty years they have advanced their societies remarkably.

Not so muslims. Only when they could rely on significant non-muslim minorties to serve as workhorses, as in Malaysia, or were blessed with black gold, have they been able to achieve something. Even so, they had to rely on others. In the latter's case, their infrastructure would collapse were it not for the infidels, and their gleaming towers are designed and built by kafirs.



I think there's an anthropological dimension to explaining the gratuitous muslim rage we are once again seeing.

I think that deep in their hearts those howling lunatics realize all too well...

... that essentially, they are LOSERS.

IN MEMORIAM JOHN RESTA, SYLVIA SANPIO RESTA, AND THEIR UNBORN CHILD. BRUTALLY MURDERED BY MUSLIM TERRORISTS ON 9/11.

Should relatives of John and Sylvia ever visit this page - well, I do not know if they are or were religious. I would like to ask them to believe that I do not post an Our Father out of religious chauvinism, should they happen to be not of the christian faith. I would like them to know that I consider myself flawed - that I do not consider myself an especially good christian.

But reciting this prayer is one of the ways I learned to cope with loss.

Our Father, who art in heaven hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Sincere and heartfelt condolences to John's relatives, and to Sylvia's: her parents Maria Jose SanPio and Jose Luis SanPio; her sisters Laura Perez, Carolina SanPio and Patricia SanPio; and her brothers Edward SanPio Emiliano Perez and Joseph Perez.

SANDRA FLUKE AT THE DNC: IS VERRRRRRY SCARED OF RETHUGLICANS, SEES NOTHING WRONG WITH IMAM SIRAJ WAHHAJ. WELCOME TO LEFTWING BIZARRO WORLD.

Marvellous piece - as per usual - by Mark Steyn on the DNC and one of its guest speakers, Sandra Flake. From the Orange County Register:

"...With respect to Sandra Fluke, I think there's a third future looming. The paperback edition of my book comes out in a week or so, and you can pretty much get the gist of it from the title: "After America." For me, the likely scenario isn't that the Republicans will be terrorizing rape victims or that the Democrats will finally pass the necessary legislation to make contraception available for the contraceptively starved millions crying out for it, but that America will be sliding off the cliff – literally, as Joe Biden would literally say. And when America slides off the cliff it lands with a much bigger thud than Greece or Iceland. I'm not certain that the Republicans will be able to prevent that happening. But I know that the Democrats can't. America owes more money than anybody has ever owed anyone in the history of the planet. But millions of Americans don't see it, and millions of those who do see it don't see it as a problem.

Sandra Fluke is one of them. She completed her education a few weeks ago – at the age of 31, or Grade 25. Before going to Georgetown, she warmed up with a little light BS in Feminist, Gender and Sexuality Studies from Cornell. She then studied law at one of the most prestigious institutions in the nation, where tuition costs 50 grand a year. The average starting salary for a Georgetown Law graduate is $160,000 per annum – first job, first paycheck.



So this is America's best and brightest – or, at any rate, most expensively credentialed. Sandra Fluke has been blessed with a quarter-million dollars of elite education, and, on the evidence of Wednesday night, is entirely incapable of making a coherent argument. She has enjoyed the leisurely decade-long varsity once reserved for the minor sons of Mitteleuropean grand dukes, and she has concluded that the most urgent need facing the Brokest Nation in History is for someone else to pay for the contraception of 30-year-old children. She says the choice facing America is whether to be "a country where we mean it when we talk about personal freedom, or one where that freedom doesn't apply to our bodies and our voices" – and, even as the words fall leaden from her lips, she doesn't seem to comprehend that Catholic institutions think their "voices" ought to have freedom, too, or that Obamacare seizes jurisdiction over "our bodies" and has 16,000 new IRS agents ready to fine us for not making arrangements for "our" pancreases and "our" bladders that meet the approval of the commissars. Sexual liberty, even as every other liberty withers, is all that matters: A middle-school girl is free to get an abortion without parental consent, but if she puts a lemonade stand on her lawn she'll be fined. What a bleak and reductive concept of "personal freedom."

America is so broketastically brokey-broke that one day, in the grim future that could be, society may even be forced to consider whether there is any meaningful return on investment for paying a quarter-million bucks to send the scions of wealth and privilege to school till early middle-age to study Reproductive Justice. But, as it stands right now, a Cornell and Georgetown graduate doesn't understand the central reality of the future her elders have bequeathed her. There's no "choice" in the matter. It's showing up whatever happens in November. All the election will decide is whether America wants to address that reality, or continue to live in delusion – like a nation staggering around with a giant condom rolled over its collective head. Any space aliens prowling through the rubble of our civilization and stumbling upon a recording of the convention compatible with Planet Zongo DVD players will surely marvel at the valuable peak airtime allotted to Sandra Fluke. It was weird to see her up there among the governors and senators – as weird as Bavarians thought it was when King Ludwig decided to make his principal adviser Lola Montez, the Irish-born "Spanish dancer" and legendary grande horizontale. I hasten to add I'm not saying Miss Fluke is King Barack's courtesan. For one thing, it's a striking feature of the Age of Perfected Liberalism that modern liberals talk about sex 24/7 while simultaneously giving off the persistent whiff that the whole thing's a bit of a chore. Hence, the need for government subsidy. And, in fairness to Miss Montez, she used sex to argue for liberalized government, whereas Miss Fluke uses liberalism to argue for sexualized government.

But those distinctions aside, like Miss Fluke, Miss Montez briefly wielded an influence entirely disproportionate to her talents. Like Miss Fluke, she was a passionate liberal activist who sought to diminish what she regarded as the malign influence of the Catholic Church. Taking up with Lola cost King Ludwig his throne in the revolutions of 1848. We'll see in a couple of months whether taking up with Sandra works out for King Barack. But what's strange is that so many people don't find it strange at all – that at a critical moment in the affairs of the republic the ruling party should assemble to listen to a complacent 31-year-old child of privilege peddling the lazy cobwebbed assumptions of myopic narcissism. Lola Montez was what botanists would call a "sport" – morphologically distinct from the rest of the societal shrub. The tragedy for America is that Sandra Fluke is all too typical...."

Oh... yeah. If you followed the link, you will have noticed the following key sentences in that slut Fluke's DNC address:

"During this campaign, we've heard about two profoundly different futures that could await women in this country – and how one of those futures looks like an offensive, obsolete relic of our past," she cautioned. "That future could become real." In one of those futures, women will be "shut out and silenced," rape victims will be "victimized all over again," pregnant women will "die preventable deaths in our emergency rooms," and "access to birth control is controlled by people who will never use it."

Which once again presses home the sheer, baffling and incalculable ability of democrats, or leftists in general, for that matter, to utterly delude themselves. Because, as Janet Levy over at The American Thinker puts it so eloquently:

"...The ardent protests against Republicans and the concomitant apocryphal charges that they are anti-woman and anti-gay are par for the course. In actuality, Republicans are merely advocating for the sanctity of life and traditional marriage and do not demonstrate hatred against any group. However, to hold an opinion contrary to the leftist dogma of the day is obviously enough to spur public vilification and rampant allegations of malfeasance.



The anti-woman, anti-gay allegations Democrats use to characterize Republicans are all the more astonishing in light of the tolerance and accommodations that are conferred on Islam. While Islam is given a pass on these issues, Democrats freely malign Republicans who speak out about repressive Islamic doctrine or sharia, an ideology that is truly anti-woman and anti-gay.

It's worth noting that the Democratic Party's friendliness toward Muslims has prompted an extraordinary gathering in Charlotte, North Carolina, where the Democratic National Convention begins on Sept. 4. As part of the pre-convention festivities, a "Jumah at the DNC" was held through Sept. 1 by the Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs (BIMA), an Islamic nonprofit headquartered in Newark, New Jersey. The Washington Times estimates that "between 500 and 1,000 participants" attended the Jumah, while 20,000 had been predicted to attend the entire three-day event.

The opening prayer was led by Siraj Wahhaj, an advocate for an Islamic state in America, a "potential unindicted co-conspirator" in the first World Trade Center bombing, and a member of CAIR. Event co-organizer Jibril Hough has ties to Islamic terrorists as the imam at a Muslim Brotherhood-owned mosque in Charlotte. That mosque is listed by the U.S. Justice Department as an "unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror finance case in U.S. history..."

I have come to believe that to vote democrat in 2012 is a sign of being criminally insane.

GERMANY: TOURIST AGENCY "REMOVES" CROSS FROM ZUGSPITZE, GERMANY'S HIGHEST MOUNTAIN, SO AS NOT TO OFFEND MUSLIM TOURISTS.

Yes, they have sunk so low.

This is a screenshot from the blog Politically Incorrect:



From the blog idea.de:

"[The region of] Garmisch-Partenkirchen, [where the Alps saddle the German-Austrian border - MFBB], wants to attract more tourists from arab countries. Until now there's only around 3,000 overnight stays from muslim guests, while other mountain regions receive more than ten times that number, ascertain both the local Tourist Manager and the Chief of the Bavarian Zugspitze-Railroad. The Zugspitze, at 2,962 meters Germany's highest mountain, is one of Garmisch-Partenkirchen's top attractions. Current accommodations for muslims, like an islamic prayer room in the mountain station and special toilets for arabs, are clearly insufficient according to both officials. For that reason they had a special edition of the local tourist magazine printed uniquely for arabs - in it the cross on top of the Zugspitze has been photoshopped away. The 4,88m high cross has been on the mountain since 1851."

How long before they take it away for real?

SALAFISM ON THE RISE IN GERMANY, POLICE SHOT BY MUSLIM YOUTHS IN GRIGNY, FRANCE.

Salafism in Germany is steeply on the rise. In early January, when we returned from Poland, I learned in the newspapers there that salafist organizations were distributing millions of qurans for free in German cities. The following video details with the frightening phenomenon:



In June, German police launched an all-out crackdown on salafist organizations.


Muslims youths shoot three police officers in a no-go zone in Grigny, France.



From The Australian:

"FRANCE has suffered a fresh outbreak of urban unrest, with three police officers wounded in an attack by a crowd firing shotguns and lobbing petrol bombs.

Two of the officers were wounded by shotgun pellets and the third by a firework used as a rocket in the incident that began late on Friday in the Grigny suburb of Paris, police said.

The unrest began after a police unit broke up a fight between around 20 people. The officers were set upon as they returned to their vehicles by a crowd, some of whom fired shotguns and threw petrol bombs.

Riot police were rushed to the area and used tear gas to disperse the crowd.

The incident in Grigny came two weeks after rioting in the northern city of Amiens left 17 police officers wounded.

The unrest there has helped place crime and security at the top of the political agenda in France.

The new Socialist government has promised to reverse a decline in police numbers with special attention given to marginalised urban areas which have periodically erupted into violence over the last decade."

The teneur of the article is, as per usual, all wrong. It's the same VERY old story about lack of chances, unemployment, discrimination et al, ad nauseam. IF ONLY more money would or could be poured into these areas to HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP these poor sods.

You reap what you sow. You pump millions of seventh century sand apes with zilch added value into modern advanced societies offering their citizens rights and freedoms for which over centuries, colossal sums were paid in terms of blood and money...

MUSLIM BEASTS IFTIKHAR AHMED AND WIFE FARZANA MURDERED OWN DAUGHTER BECAUSE SHE WAS TOO 'WESTERNIZED', FORCED SIBLING TO LOOK ON.

Alas, nothing new under the sun and stories like this will keep and keep and keep emerging.... until sufficient people have sufficient balls to tell it like it is: islam is a gruesome, monstrous and inhuman belief system that transforms its adherents in mindless monsters. From The Telegraph:

"Shafilea Ahmed, 16, was allegedly murdered at her home in Warrington, Cheshire, because her parents felt her increasingly Western ways, and her rejection of an arranged marriage, had brought shame on the family.

Her younger sister, Alesha, was 15 when she claimed she witnessed the killing on the night in September, 2003, that Shafilea disappeared.

She initially told friends that her father, Iftikhar Ahmed, had murdered her sister and “chopped up” her body.

But she later retracted the claim and kept silent for the next seven years. Then, in August 2010, she finally gave detectives a detailed account of the murder and her parents’ subsequent efforts to conceal the body.

Iftikhar Ahmed, 52, and Farzana, 49, both of whom were born in the same village in Pakistan, now deny murder.

Andrew Edis, QC, prosecuting, told a jury at Chester Crown Court: “Alesha describes what is an act of suffocation by her parents, acting together – a carrier bag forced into her mouth and then hands over her face to close her airways so she could not breath.

“She gives a description of what she saw, about what effect that had on her sister. She will tell you about that, and you will also be able to hear what a pathologist says you might expect to see in a death by suffocation.

“She then describes how there was activity in the house that night to do with the body. She talks about looking into the kitchen and seeing her mother sorting through a pile of blankets and sheets.

“She saw a roll of black bin bags and two rolls of tape – wide brown tape and some black tape.

“After that had happened she looked out of the window and saw her father with a large object wrapped in bin bags with brown tape wrapped around it. She assumed that was the body of her sister.

“A little later, still only about 10pm, she heard a car driving off. Her father was driving, her mother staying behind.”

Actually we cannot even call Iftikhar Ahmed and wife Farzana 'beasts' because it would be a grave insult to beasts. Let us call them subhumans instead. If you think I'm being rude you are part of the problem, and I'd like to ask how you would call entities that butcher their own offspring.
