********************************************
Shannon and I were so excited to get mahindi done the entire time we were in India. We didn't have time to do it in Bangalore so when we made it to Chennai we went to a salon right away and asked for mahindi.
But we had in mind our own idea of what "mahindi" would look like for us. First we asked for asymmetrical designs, then different designs for each appendage (usually your feet or hands match), and then we asked for the mahindi to go up to our shoulders on ONE arm - this was the shocker! No one had ever asked for the henna design to go past the middle of the forearms according to our henna artist! It's actually quite logical since women are practically ostracized for publicly wearing tank tops!
slight digression here - the one thing shannon and I missed - publicly wearing tank tops. Sukimar, our 50+ year old colleague who we traveled with specifically forbade us from wearing spaghetti straps. He was not joking. We were a little annoyed at first but after 3 weeks there I am glad he warned us not to wear any in public.
ok back to mahinid - so After the henna dye is applied, it has to dry for 2 hours. The woman encouraged Shannon and I to walk around the mall and come back after 2 hours.. I didn't want to walk around because that meant we would be walking around publicly in tank tops and I knew we would stop all floors of the mall. Shannon, being optimistic and carefree as she always is, told me that I was being overly cautious (which can be a very accurate description of me sometimes). I had no choice but to begrudingly go with Shannon because otherwise that meant we would sweat ourselves away on the 2nd floor of salon for 2 more hours. We had already been there for 2 hours.
The minute we stepped into the mall area out of the salon, I felt like 1000 males eyes pierced our skin. I swore they were staring at our bare shoulders, thinking what horrible Americans we were for going to their country and defaming their cultural tradition - smearing mahindi up and down our bodies and laying ourselves bare for the all eyes in the mall.
I just kept muttering to Shannon, "everyone is staring, this is really bad, ohmygod." Any you must understand, there is something about the male stare that is very obvious when it crosses the line from bearable curiosity to scary anger I am going to surround you kind of stare. It felt like the latter.
Shannon reassured me that it wouldn't be so bad after a while- I didn't believe her so I said let's go inside a jewelry shop and we can hide there. We walked into a shop and it was run by men. We both knew that we didn't want any of the jewelry but we dragged out our time there. I felt so uncomfortable but when I looked at shannon she was asking about larger pearls for a necklace so I thought maybe it was just in my head that I felt like we were naked if Shannon is actually jewelry shopping.
We walked out of the shop and walked around some more hoping that maybe what we experienced with the staring was just an initial reaction. Well women kept coming up to asking where we got our mahindi done while men just kept staring us down - I felt like they were eating my skin up.
Then we made a bad choice of saying let's go up the escalators to see if the next floor was more empty. NOPE. When we were on the escalators, every floor could see us and surrounding the circular ring on each floor men looked up as we slowly made our way up from the 2nd to the 3rd floor. We were totally bare and naked. Well at least it felt like it. Then we landed on the floor and walked into the food court - what a bad idea - everyone just kept looking while we had a few more women asking us where we got our mahindi done.
By then, we just couldn't handle it anymore and we made our down tje escalators again for the entire mall's eyes and back to the salon to wait out the rest of our drying time.
The whole entire process practically took 1 day. A total of 6 hours. And you can't have any water touch the henna or else it won't stain as long. In the end it was worth it, but I never again will I be stupid enough to even think for a moment that I can get away with wearing a tank top much less with henna dye in a big mall filled with men.
Well I do feel proud that we started a new madhindi trend - to have it twirl up to the shoulders! Innovations can happen when you have two nieve outsiders looking for some pretty body art!
But before I end the story I would like to defend my nieveness. Before I came to India, I thought that this would be a very easy country to experience. What I mean by easy is not the typical Western way of thinking of traveling, like wanting everything to be Western-like from toilets to food. What I had in mind was that India just wouldn't be a shocker. I didn't see it as that different. I thought well, I have a lot of Indian friends, many 1st generation and many 2nd generation who go back all the time to see their families. I had spoken to all of them and they gave me the 411 on what I needed to know. Then I thought English is widely spoken and they are the world's largest democracy, so it can't be that different. Plus what country can be shocker when they produce amazing Bollywood movies?
And I went to India with the intention of coming back with a suitcase of clothing. All pf my clothes are either made in China or India, so I thought how exciting I can go to India and find all these fashionable dresses and designer tops for such a discount!
Now my Indian friends warned me about how it was damgerous for me to walk around alone and that I should travel with a man, but I thought that was just typical advice that people give to any woman who travels alone - so I ignored it because just as many non-Indian people told me that India was dangerous and that I shouldn't be alone. I hate when people tell me that I am going to get mugged in NYC or kidnapped in Mexico by narco- gangs - I have always refused to fall into the stereotypes of any country or region and for that reason I think I am a very exploratorative but smart navigator of this world.
So with those thoughts in mind, I experienced the biggest culture shock ever. First, Indian english comes from British English - it can be quite hard to understand someone! In particular, Shannon and I didn't have a driver, so we were hailing down rickshaws for our transportations - but we (driver and us) could barely understand each other most of the time.
But the most shocking was the gender inequality. just visually you can see that men have the freedom to wear wEstern clothing - t-shirt and jeans. But most women wear traditional wear which means most of thier body is covered. There aren't many Western clothing shops for women and what shops there are - the clothing is so outdated. Most clothing shops in malls are for men. I didn't see any of the clothing that I find in the US that is made in India actually in India!

May 14th 2016
Here is a recent photo of your Flickr host of Historic Brussels, Dr Les Sachs - Leszek Sachs (Lešek Sachs - Лэшэк Сакс - Leslie Raymond Sachs), this picture snapped on 22 August 2015 by a visiting international scholar at the door of the Karl Marx house in Brussels, where Marx and his wife were living when they wrote the Communist Manifesto of 1848. It was a rainy day, and although Brussels streets and buildings can be a bit soot-covered and grimy, they are not overall quite as grey as conveyed in this rainy-day photograph.
Karl Marx's house stands at Jean D'Ardennestraat - rue Jean D'Ardenne 50 in the Elsene - Ixelles borough of Brussels, and now has a yoga centre in it, perhaps a bit aptly symbolising the cross-currents of my life, on the one hand always having tried to help and assist the working and common people of the world, and on the other hand now being a person of Asian spirituality and in particular an advanced practitioner of raja yoga meditation.
My spirituality and non-materialism, is a major reason why I am not myself directly a Marxist or Marxian, although I do have a lifelong loyalty to working classes and common people. Also, I recognise the key role that Marxian-inspired analyses have played in helping to understand the oligarchic forces that assault and impoverish people - oligarchic forces which I have battled in my own life, and which have threatened me across international borders.
But I am still here, still alive in Europe, still working to help others and to improve the world, having achieved much in that regard already, in part with my work supplying information to European Commission headquarters, which are reachable on foot within a few kilometres from Karl Marx's former front door that you see here.
Despite many menaces, threats, and savage attempts to spread many defamations and lies about me, by those who seek to harm my abilities to help other people, and mysterious failing health that may be the result of an assassination attempt - thanks perhaps to spiritual powers, I nonetheless remain in this world opposing the big gangsters, even while I have seen colleagues and associates in the great struggle, be killed or die and pass away under sometimes suspicious circumstances.
My birth in North America took place within walking distance of Haymarket Square, Chicago, Illinois USA, where worker protests and tragedy led to the international workers' May Day holiday. And now I live within walking distance of Karl Marx's house where he wrote the Communist Manifesto, and also can walk to Karl Marx's favourite restaurant De Zwaan - Le Cygne at Brussels' Grote Markt - Grand'Place, where Marx and his colleagues founded the Communist International (that restaurant thrives there today, tho a bit posh rather than a 'worker' eatery.)
With my lifelong spirituality, and my recognition of the historical tragedies which have at times occurred using Marx's name, I am yet always devoted to the rights of the common people, as are many who are drawn to explore Marx's ideas. And like Karl Marx, I have lived amid controversy, with many things said and written about me that are not true, and what I actually have said and done, either hidden or not understood.

Barrie DeMolay Chapter
Last Wednesday of each month 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM

The Order of DeMolay (IODM) - www.demolay.org
A Masonic youth organization for young men aged 12 to 21 years. Membership does not require family Masonic affiliation, nor does it confer any Masonic membership. The organization is dedicated to providing guidance and development of civic leadership and social values in young men. A side body of the DeMolay is the Order of Knighthood. The presiding body is a Chapter, and the presiding officer is a Master Councilor.
Degrees worked include:
"Initiatory Degree
"DeMolay Degree
"Degree of Chevalier (Honorary Degree)
DeMolay provides a safe place for young men to have a greater level of independence. The young men decide on the activities, plan them and carry them out from start to finish. The DeMolay chapter is run completely by its members. Adult volunteers called “advisors” are present at every DeMolay event to help when needed, but they stay in the background as much as possible. DeMolay advisors are the safety net, the resource, the mentors and the friends, but they are not the planners or the leaders – the young men are.
Young people face many tough situations. DeMolay provides a place where young men can try new experiences and have social interaction with peers in an environment where they will be safe and supported. DeMolay members learn responsibility, respect for others and how to interact with adults – both as authority figures and as coworkers.
DeMolay is an organization dedicated to preparing young men to lead successful, happy, and productive lives. Basing its approach on timeless principles and practical, hands-on experience, DeMolay opens doors for young men aged 12 to 21 by developing the civic awareness, personal responsibility and leadership skills so vitally needed in society today. DeMolay combines this serious mission with a fun approach that builds important bonds of friendship among members in more than 1,000 chapters worldwide.
The Order of DeMolay was founded in 1919, in Kansas City, Missouri, by a young man named Frank S. Land. Land was a community leader who, at the age of 28, already had a successful business career as a restaurateur behind him.
DeMolay alumni include Walt Disney, John Wayne, Walter Cronkite, football Hall-of-Famer Fran Tarkenton, legendary Nebraska football coach Tom Osborne, news anchor David Goodnow and many others. Each has spoken eloquently of the life-changing benefit gained from their involvement in DeMolay.
Is DeMolay a religious organization?
No. Among the requirements for membership in DeMolay is the belief in a Supreme Being, but not one of any particular doctrine, sect, or denomination. A young man’s religious convictions are his own. DeMolay’s members include Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, and members of many other religious groups. DeMolay does not involve itself in religious discussions. It merely recognizes the importance of faith in the lives of young men. The virtue of Reverence for Sacred Things seeks to remind our members to rely upon, and use, faith in their own personal lives.
Seven hundred years ago today, a dying knight uttered a curse as the flames of the pyre he was tied to lapped at his feet. Those words continue to haunt us even now.
That knight was Jacques de Molay.
He was the Grand Master of the Order of the Poor Knights of the Temple of Solomon, generally known as the Knights Templar.
A fraction more than two centuries after the Knights of Order of the Temple of Solomon had been founded amid the rubble of Jerusalem to defend the Holy Land, it would now be ended by flame in the heart of Paris.
Betrayed by a king he trusted and a pope he was sworn to obey, in his final hours DeMolay fought fervently against the false charges which had destroyed his international network of Christian warriors.
His dying curse was powerful. And effective.
S’en vendra en brief temps meschie / Let evil swiftly befall
Sus celz qui nous dampnent a tort; / Those who have wrongly condemned us;
Diex en vengera nostre mort. / God will avenge our death.
Pope Clement V, complicit by design or cowardice, was dead 33 days later — from a severe bout of dysentery brought about by advanced bowel cancer.
King Philip IV of France, who had been happy to kill and defame Christendom’s defenders for their wealth and land, died within eight months. This time it was a hunting accident.
It was the final act in a power play that makes the schemes of Game of Thrones seem like mere schoolyard squabbles.
DeMolay, oddly, lives on.
A contemporary source tells of a group of monks secretly swimming to his funeral pyre on an island in Paris’ River Seine to gather up the old man’s bones as holy relics. His name has echoed through history ever since.
The idea of the Order of the Temple itself refused to die.
Though formally disbanded and its assets nominally handed over to their arch rivals — the Knights Hospitaller — there were few untouched enclaves of Templars who changed their name to escape retribution.
But the black-and-white banner of the Poor Knights would rise time and again throughout history by the oppressed and those seeking association with secrets, occult and mystery.
And, as the likes of The DaVinci Code, Game of Thrones and Ivanhoe attest, it’s an idea that resonates even now.
SIGNED, SEALED — AND DELIVERED?
DeMolay’s last stand was something of a surprise.
The supreme commander of more than 2000 knights, sergeants and attendants had put up a pitiful performance after the sudden arrest of his brethren on Friday, October 13, 1307. It was a date that would go down in infamy for its ill fortune.
It had been an extraordinary operation: King Philip’s sheriffs all through France had been secretly notified to conduct the coordinated arrests that same night. Once hauled forward to face trumped up charges of heresy, sodomy and sedition, the stunned church seemed powerless to defend its own. Torture did the rest, quickly extracting confessions for the most heinous of crimes — heresy.
But by 1314 the scandal had died down. The arrest and accusations against the Templars was old news. The fate of its members — and its wealth — seemed little more than a formality.
A papal commission of inquiry was appointed to pass final judgment on four of the Templar’s most senior commanders. Two of the inquisitors were considered “royal” men — being close associates of King Philip “the Fair”. The third cardinal was one of Pope Clement’s closest friends.
Naturally, the outcome was a foregone conclusion.
It was to be a public show trial, carefully scripted and conducted under the watchful eye of King Philip’s city guard and most loyal followers and performed on scaffolding erected in front of the famous Notre Dame cathedral.
But something inside DeMolay had changed.
The seven years of torture and imprisonment had not weakened his spirit. It had reinforced it.
In fact, the Grand Master had been held in solitary confinement the dungeon of his own Paris fortress for the previous four years. Now in his 70s, DeMolay’s body must have been wracked by injury, malnutrition and lack of sunlight.
Stepping out into the warm light and seeing his brothers-in-arms again after so long must have ignited his spirit in a way it had never been before.
He and his colleagues — Geoffroi de Charney, Hughes de Pairaud and Goeffroi de Gonneville — were dressed in their Order’s iconic white robes emblazoned with the blood-red cross and paraded in front of the crowd.
It was intended to be their final humiliation.
Ex-Indonesian dictator Suharto dies
By ANTHONY DEUTSCH, Associated Press
JAKARTA, Indonesia - Former Indonesian President Suharto, the U.S. Cold War ally who led one of the 20th century's most brutal dictatorships over 32 years that saw up to a million political opponents killed, died Sunday. He was 86.
Suharto had been ailing in a hospital in the capital, Jakarta, since Jan. 4 when he was admitted with failing kidneys, heart and lungs. Doctors prolonged his life through dialysis and a ventilator, but he stopped breathing on his own overnight before slipping into a coma Sunday.
He was declared dead at 1:10 p.m. when his heart stopped. The cause of death was multiple-organ failure, Chief Presidential Dr. Marjo Subiandono said.
"My father passed away peacefully," sobbed Suharto's eldest daughter, Tutut. "May God bless him and forgive all of his mistakes."
As is customary in Islamic tradition, Suharto's body was to be washed and joint prayers were held at the family home in the presence of his six children, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and dozens of the country's ruling elite.
Yudhoyono's office declared a week of national mourning and he was to oversee a state funeral Monday once Suharto's body had been flown by a fleet of 11 Air Force planes to be placed in the family mausoleum.
Finally toppled by mass street protests in 1998, Suharto's departure opened the way for democracy in this predominantly Muslim nation of 235 million people and he withdrew from public life, rarely venturing from his comfortable villa on a leafy lane in the capital.
Suharto had ruled with a totalitarian dominance that saw soldiers stationed in every village, instilling a deep fear of authority across this Southeast Asian nation of some 6,000 inhabited islands that stretch across more than 3,000 miles.
Since being forced from power, he had been in and out of hospitals after strokes caused brain damage and impaired his speech. Blood transfusions and a pacemaker prolonged his life, but he suffered from lung, kidney, liver and heart problems.
Suharto was vilified as one of the world's most brutal rulers and was accused of overseeing a graft-ridden reign. But poor health — and continuing corruption, critics charge — kept him from court after he was chased from office by widespread unrest at the peak of the Asian financial crisis.
The bulk of political killings blamed on Suharto occurred in the 1960s, soon after he seized power. In later years, some 300,000 people were slain, disappeared or starved in the independence-minded regions of East Timor, Aceh and Papua, human rights groups and the United Nations say.
Suharto's successors as head of state — B.J. Habibie, Abdurrahman Wahid, Megawati Sukarnoputri and Yudhoyono — vowed to end graft that took root under Suharto, yet it remains endemic at all levels of Indonesian society.
With the court system paralyzed by corruption, the country has not confronted its bloody past. Rather than put on trial those accused of mass murder and multibillion-dollar theft, some members of the political elite consistently called for charges against Suharto to be dropped on humanitarian grounds.
Some noted Suharto also oversaw decades of economic expansion that made Indonesia the envy of the developing world. Today, nearly a quarter of Indonesians live in poverty, and many long for the Suharto era's stability, when fuel and rice were affordable.
On Sunday, hundreds of mourners — some weeping — flocked to the family home in downtown Jakarta.
"I felt crushed when I heard he had died. We have lost a great man," said Mamiarti, a 43-year-old housekeeper. "It used to be easy to find jobs. Now it is hard."
But critics say Suharto squandered Indonesia's vast natural resources of oil, timber and gold, siphoning the nation's wealth to benefit his cronies, foreign corporations, and family like a mafia don.
Jeffrey Winters, associate professor of political economy at Northwestern University, said the graft effectively robbed "Indonesia of some of the most golden decades, and its best opportunity to move from a poor to a middle class country."
"When Indonesia does finally go back and redo history, (its people) will realize that Suharto is responsible for some of the worst crimes against humanity in the 20th century," Winters added.
Those who profited from Suharto's rule made sure he was never portrayed in a harsh light at home, Winters said, so even though he was an "iron-fisted, brutal, cold-blooded dictator," he was able to stay in his native country.
Like many Indonesians, Suharto used only one name. He was born on June 8, 1921, to a family of rice farmers in the village of Godean, in the dominant Indonesian province of Central Java.
When Indonesia gained independence from the Dutch in 1949, Suharto quickly rose through the ranks of the military to become a staff officer.
His career nearly foundered in the late 1950s, when the army's then-commander, Gen. Abdul Haris Nasution, accused him of corruption in awarding army contracts.
Absolute power came in September 1965 when the army's six top generals were murdered under mysterious circumstances, and their bodies dumped in an abandoned well in an apparent coup attempt.
Suharto, next in line for command, quickly asserted authority over the armed forces and promoted himself to four-star general.
Suharto then oversaw a nationwide purge of suspected communists and trade unionists, a campaign that stood as the region's bloodiest event since World War II until the Khmer Rouge established its gruesome regime in Cambodia a decade later. Experts put the number of deaths during the purge at between 500,000 and 1 million.
Over the next year, Suharto eased out of office Indonesia's first post-independence president, Sukarno, who died under house arrest in 1970. The legislature rubber-stamped Suharto's presidency and he was re-elected unopposed six times.
During the Cold War, Suharto was considered a reliable friend of Washington, which didn't oppose his violent occupation of Papua in 1969 and the bloody 1974 invasion of East Timor. The latter, a former Portuguese colony, became Asia's youngest country with a U.N.-sponsored plebiscite in 1999.
Even Suharto's critics agree his hard-line policies kept a lid on Indonesia's extremists and held together the ethnically diverse and geographically vast nation. He locked up hundreds of suspected Islamic militants without trial, some of whom later carried out deadly suicide bombings with the al-Qaida-linked terror network Jemaah Islamiyah after the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S.
Meanwhile, the ruling clique that formed around Suharto — nicknamed the "Berkeley mafia" after their American university, the University of California, Berkeley — transformed Indonesia's economy and attracted billions of dollars in foreign investment.
By the late 1980s, Suharto was describing himself as Indonesia's "father of development," taking credit for slowly reducing the number of abjectly poor and modernizing parts of the nation.
But the government also became notorious for unfettered nepotism, and Indonesia was regularly ranked as one of the world's most corrupt nations as Suharto's inner circle amassed fabulous wealth. The World Bank estimates 20 percent to 30 percent of Indonesia's development budget was embezzled during his rule.
Even today, Suharto's children and aging associates have considerable sway over the country's business, politics and courts. Efforts to recover the money have been fruitless.
Suharto's youngest son, Hutomo "Tommy" Mandala Putra, was released from prison in 2006 after serving a third of a 15-year sentence for ordering the assassination of a Supreme Court judge. Another son, Bambang Trihatmodjo, joined the Forbes list of wealthiest Indonesians in 2007, with $200 million from his stake in the conglomerate Mediacom.
Suharto's economic policies, based on unsecured borrowing by his cronies, dramatically unraveled shortly before he was toppled in May 1998. Indonesia is still recovering from what economists called the worst economic meltdown anywhere in 50 years.
State prosecutors accused Suharto of embezzling about $600 million via a complex web of foundations under his control, but he never saw the inside of a courtroom. In September 2000, judges ruled he was too ill to stand trial, though many people believed the decision really stemmed from the lingering influence of the former dictator and his family.
In 2007, Suharto won a $106 million defamation lawsuit against Time magazine for accusing the family of acquiring $15 billion in stolen state funds.
The former dictator told the news magazine Gatra in a rare interview in November 2007 that he would donate the bulk of any legal windfall to the needy, while he dismissed corruption accusations as "empty talk."
Suharto's wife of 49 years, Indonesian royal Siti Hartinah, died in 1996. The couple had three sons and three daughters.

A canard is a lie or an untrue story used in politics to misdirect citizens. Canard is also a French word for duck.
The background in this image is from a photo in the public domain from the USCapitol's Flickr photostream.
Professor Alan M. Dershowitz is Brooklyn native who has been called “the nation’s most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer” and one of its “most distinguished defenders of individual rights,” “the best-known criminal lawyer in the world,” “the top lawyer of last resort,” “America’s most public Jewish defender” and “Israel’s single most visible defender – the Jewish state’s lead attorney in the court of public opinion.” He is the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. Dershowitz, a graduate of Brooklyn College and Yale Law School, joined the Harvard Law School faculty at age 25 after clerking for Judge David Bazelon and Justice Arthur Goldberg.
He has also published more than 100 articles in magazines and journals such as The New York Times Magazine, The Washington Post. The Wall Street Journal, The New Republic, The Nation, Commentary, Saturday Review, The Harvard Law Review and the Yale Law Journal, and more than 300 of his articles have appeared in syndication in 50 national daily newspapers. Professor Dershowitz is the author of 27 fiction and non-fiction works with a worldwide audience. His most recent titles include Rights From Wrong, The Case For Israel, The Case For Peace, Blasphemy: How the Religious Right is Hijacking the Declaration of Independence, Preemption: A Knife that Cuts Both Ways, Finding Jefferson – A Lost Letter, A Remarkable Discovery, and The First Amendment In An Age of Terrorism, and The Case For Moral Clarity: Israel, Hamas and Gaza.
In addition to his numerous law review articles and books about criminal and constitutional law, he has written, taught and lectured about history, philosophy, psychology, literature, mathematics, theology, music, sports – and even delicatessens.
In 1983, the Anti-Defamation League of the B'nai B'rith presented him with the William O. Douglas First Amendment Award for his "compassionate eloquent leadership and persistent advocacy in the struggle for civil and human rights." In presenting the award, Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel said: "If there had been a few people like Alan Dershowitz during the 1930s and 1940s, the history of European Jewry might have been different." Professor Dershowitz has been awarded the honorary doctor of laws degree by Yeshiva University, the Hebrew Union College, Brooklyn College, Syracuse University and Haifa University. The New York Criminal Bar Association honored him for his "outstanding contribution as a scholar and dedicated defender of human rights."

********************************************
St Mary, Kettlebaston, Suffolk
I always look forward to coming back to Kettlebaston. It is likely that anyone who knows the churches of Suffolk well will have Kettlebaston among their favourites. The setting is delectable, in the remote Suffolk hills between Hadleigh and Stowmarket. The building is at once elegant and interesting, the interior stunning, but most fascinating of all, perhaps, is the story behind the way it is today.
In 1963, in the thirty-third year of his incumbency as Rector of the parish of Kettlebaston, Father Harold Clear Butler sent a letter to a friend. "You are right,"he wrote. "There is no congregation any more." In failing health, he relied on the family of a vicar who had retired nearby to carry out the ceremonies of Easter week that year. In 1964, Father Butler himself retired, and an extraordinary episode in the history of the Anglo-Catholic movement in Suffolk came to an end.
There may have been no congregation, but St Mary at Kettlebaston was a shrine, to which people made pilgrimages from all over England. Here was the liturgically highest of all Suffolk's Anglican churches, where Father Butler said the Roman Mass every day, celebrated High Mass and Benediction on Sunday, dispensed with churchwardens, flouted the authority of the Anglican diocese by tearing down state notices put up in the porch, refused to keep registers, and even, as an extreme, ignored the office of the local Archdeacon of Sudbury. An entry from the otherwise empty registers for October 2nd 1933 reads Visitation of Archdeacon of Sudbury. Abortive. Archdeacon, finding no churchwardens present, rode off on his High Horse!
Father Butler came to this parish when the Anglo-Catholic movement was at its height, and survived into a poorly old age as it retreated, leaving him high and dry. But not for one moment did he ever compromise.
Kettlebaston church is not just remote liturgically. You set off from the vicinity of Hadleigh, finding your way to the back of beyond at Brent Eleigh - and then beyond the back of beyond, up the winding roads that climb into the hills above Preston. Somewhere here, two narrow lanes head north. One will take you to Thorpe Morieux, and one to Kettlebaston, but I can never be sure which is which, or even if they are always in the same place. Finding your way to this, one of the most remote of all Suffolk villages, can be like finding your way into Narnia. Once in the village, you find the church surrounded by a high yew hedge, through which a passage conducts a path into the graveyard. On a buttress, a statue of the Coronation of the Queen of Heaven sits behind a grill. It is a copy of an alabaster found under the floorboards during the 1860s restoration. The original is now in the British Museum.
One Anglo-catholic tradition that has not been lost here is that the church should always be open, always be welcoming. You enter through the small porch, perhaps not fully prepared for the wonders that await. The nave you step into is light, clean and well-cared for. There is no coloured glass, no heavy benches, no tiles. The brick floor and simple wooden chairs seem as one with the air, a perfect foil for the rugged Norman font on its elegant legs. And then, the surprise of the rich view to the east, for the fixtures and fittings of the 20th Century Anglo-Catholic tradition survive here in all their splendour.
The two major features are the rood screen and the high altar. The rood screen is the work of several people, having been added to over the years by a roll-call of prominent Anglo-Catholic artists. It was designed by Ernest Geldart in the early 1900s. It was painted by Patrick Osborne in 1949, apart from the figures, which are the work of Enid Chadwick in 1954. They are: St Felix as a bishop holding a candle, St Thomas More in regalia, St Thomas of Canterbury with a sword through his mitre, St John Fisher as a bishop holding a book, St Alban in armour and St Fursey holding Burgh Castle.
To one side, the Sacred Heart altar bears the original stone mensa from the high altar. The table itself is the Stuart Communion table. To the other, a Lady altar. All of these are either gifts or rescued from redundant Anglo-Catholic churches elsewhere. The elegant grill in front of the rood loft stairs is by Ninian Comper.
Stepping through into the chancel is a reminder of how the clearance of clutter can improve a liturgical space. Here, the emptiness provides a perfect foil for the massive altar piece. The altar itself was the gift of Miss Eleanor Featonby Smith, consecrated by the Bishop of Madagascar in 1956, in one of those ceremonies conducted in the labyrinthine underworld of the Anglo-catholic movement. The altar sports what is colloquially referred to as the Big Six - the trademark six candlesticks of an Anglo-catholic parish. Behind them, the rich reredos is also by Ernest Geldart, and was also painted by Patrick Osborne.
At the west end of the nave is a display case holding facsimiles of the Kettlebaston alabasters, an oddly prosaic moment. But Kettlebaston's medieval past is not entirely rebooted, for the chancel was sensitively restored by Ernest Geldart in 1902 with none of the razzmatazz of his church at Little Braxted in Essex. The east window was rebuilt to the same design as the original, as was the roof. The late 13th Century piscina and sedilia are preserved, and on the north side of the chancel survives an impressive tomb recess of about the same date.
The sole monument is to Joan, Lady Jermyn, who died in 1649. Her inscription, at the End of the English Civil War and the start of the ill-fated Commonwealth, is a fascinating example of the language of the time. Is it puritan in sympathy, or Anglican? Or simply a bizarre fruit of the ferment of ideas in that World Turned Upside Down? Within this dormitory lyes interred ye corpps of Johan Lady Jermy it begins, and continues whose arke after a passage of 87 yeares long through this deluge of teares... rested upon ye mount of joye. And then the verse:
Sleepe sweetly, Saint. Since thou wert gone
ther's not the least aspertion
to rake thine asshes: no defame
to veyle the lustre of thy name.
Like odorous tapers thy best sent
remains after extinguishment.
Stirr not these sacred asshes, let them rest
till union make both soule & body blest.
Not far off, and from half a century earlier, a rather more cheerful brass inscription remembers that:
The corpse of John Pricks wife lyes heere
The pastor of this place
Fower moneths and one and thirty yeerr
With him she ran her race
And when some eightye yeres were past
Her soule shee did resigne
To her good god in August last
Yeeres thrice five hundredth ninety nine.
And yet, you notice, we never learn her name. Above, the roofs drip with hanging paraffin lamps, the walls have their candle brackets, for this little church still has no electricity. You sense the attraction of Benediction on a late winter afternoon.
St Mary is loved and cared for by those who worship in it. There are rather more of them than in Father Butler's final days, but they are still a tiny, remote community. Since 1964, they have been part of a wider benefice, and must toe the Anglican mainstream line, as at Lound. But also, as at Lound, the relics of the Anglo-Catholic heyday here are preserved lovingly, and, judging by the visitors book, it is not just the regular worshippers who love it, for Anglo-Catholics from all over England still treat it as a goal of pilgrimage. I remember sitting in this church on a bright spring afternoon some twenty years ago. I'd been sitting for a while in near-silence, which was suddenly broken by the clunk of the door latch. Two elderly ladies came in. They smiled, genuflected towards the east, and greeted me. Together, they went to the Sacred Heart altar, put a bunch of violets in a vase on it, and knelt before it. The silence continued, now with a counterpoint of birdsong from the churchyard through the open door. Then they stood, made the sign of the cross, and went out again. Father Butler looked on and smiled, I'm sure.

********************************************
St Mary, Kettlebaston, Suffolk
I always look forward to coming back to Kettlebaston. It is likely that anyone who knows the churches of Suffolk well will have Kettlebaston among their favourites. The setting is delectable, in the remote Suffolk hills between Hadleigh and Stowmarket. The building is at once elegant and interesting, the interior stunning, but most fascinating of all, perhaps, is the story behind the way it is today.
In 1963, in the thirty-third year of his incumbency as Rector of the parish of Kettlebaston, Father Harold Clear Butler sent a letter to a friend. "You are right,"he wrote. "There is no congregation any more." In failing health, he relied on the family of a vicar who had retired nearby to carry out the ceremonies of Easter week that year. In 1964, Father Butler himself retired, and an extraordinary episode in the history of the Anglo-Catholic movement in Suffolk came to an end.
There may have been no congregation, but St Mary at Kettlebaston was a shrine, to which people made pilgrimages from all over England. Here was the liturgically highest of all Suffolk's Anglican churches, where Father Butler said the Roman Mass every day, celebrated High Mass and Benediction on Sunday, dispensed with churchwardens, flouted the authority of the Anglican diocese by tearing down state notices put up in the porch, refused to keep registers, and even, as an extreme, ignored the office of the local Archdeacon of Sudbury. An entry from the otherwise empty registers for October 2nd 1933 reads Visitation of Archdeacon of Sudbury. Abortive. Archdeacon, finding no churchwardens present, rode off on his High Horse!
Father Butler came to this parish when the Anglo-Catholic movement was at its height, and survived into a poorly old age as it retreated, leaving him high and dry. But not for one moment did he ever compromise.
Kettlebaston church is not just remote liturgically. You set off from the vicinity of Hadleigh, finding your way to the back of beyond at Brent Eleigh - and then beyond the back of beyond, up the winding roads that climb into the hills above Preston. Somewhere here, two narrow lanes head north. One will take you to Thorpe Morieux, and one to Kettlebaston, but I can never be sure which is which, or even if they are always in the same place. Finding your way to this, one of the most remote of all Suffolk villages, can be like finding your way into Narnia. Once in the village, you find the church surrounded by a high yew hedge, through which a passage conducts a path into the graveyard. On a buttress, a statue of the Coronation of the Queen of Heaven sits behind a grill. It is a copy of an alabaster found under the floorboards during the 1860s restoration. The original is now in the British Museum.
One Anglo-catholic tradition that has not been lost here is that the church should always be open, always be welcoming. You enter through the small porch, perhaps not fully prepared for the wonders that await. The nave you step into is light, clean and well-cared for. There is no coloured glass, no heavy benches, no tiles. The brick floor and simple wooden chairs seem as one with the air, a perfect foil for the rugged Norman font on its elegant legs. And then, the surprise of the rich view to the east, for the fixtures and fittings of the 20th Century Anglo-Catholic tradition survive here in all their splendour.
The two major features are the rood screen and the high altar. The rood screen is the work of several people, having been added to over the years by a roll-call of prominent Anglo-Catholic artists. It was designed by Ernest Geldart in the early 1900s. It was painted by Patrick Osborne in 1949, apart from the figures, which are the work of Enid Chadwick in 1954. They are: St Felix as a bishop holding a candle, St Thomas More in regalia, St Thomas of Canterbury with a sword through his mitre, St John Fisher as a bishop holding a book, St Alban in armour and St Fursey holding Burgh Castle.
To one side, the Sacred Heart altar bears the original stone mensa from the high altar. The table itself is the Stuart Communion table. To the other, a Lady altar. All of these are either gifts or rescued from redundant Anglo-Catholic churches elsewhere. The elegant grill in front of the rood loft stairs is by Ninian Comper.
Stepping through into the chancel is a reminder of how the clearance of clutter can improve a liturgical space. Here, the emptiness provides a perfect foil for the massive altar piece. The altar itself was the gift of Miss Eleanor Featonby Smith, consecrated by the Bishop of Madagascar in 1956, in one of those ceremonies conducted in the labyrinthine underworld of the Anglo-catholic movement. The altar sports what is colloquially referred to as the Big Six - the trademark six candlesticks of an Anglo-catholic parish. Behind them, the rich reredos is also by Ernest Geldart, and was also painted by Patrick Osborne.
At the west end of the nave is a display case holding facsimiles of the Kettlebaston alabasters, an oddly prosaic moment. But Kettlebaston's medieval past is not entirely rebooted, for the chancel was sensitively restored by Ernest Geldart in 1902 with none of the razzmatazz of his church at Little Braxted in Essex. The east window was rebuilt to the same design as the original, as was the roof. The late 13th Century piscina and sedilia are preserved, and on the north side of the chancel survives an impressive tomb recess of about the same date.
The sole memorial is to Joan, Lady Jermyn, who died in 1649. Her inscription, at the End of the English Civil War and the start of the ill-fated Commonwealth, is a fascinating example of the language of the time. Is it puritan in sympathy, or Anglican? Or simply a bizarre fruit of the ferment of ideas in that World Turned Upside Down? Within this dormitory lyes interred ye corpps of Johan Lady Jermy it begins, and continues whose arke after a passage of 87 yeares long through this deluge of teares... rested upon ye mount of joye. And then the verse:
Sleepe sweetly, Saint. Since thou wert gone
ther's not the least aspertion
to rake thine asshes: no defame
to veyle the lustre of thy name.
Like odorous tapers thy best sent
remains after extinguishment.
Stirr not these sacred asshes, let them rest
till union make both soule & body blest.
Above, the roofs drip with hanging paraffin lamps, the walls have their candle brackets, for this little church still has no electricity. You sense the attraction of Benediction on a late winter afternoon.
St Mary is loved and cared for by those who worship in it. There are rather more of them than in Father Butler's final days, but they are still a tiny, remote community. Since 1964, they have been part of a wider benefice, and must toe the Anglican mainstream line, as at Lound. But also, as at Lound, the relics of the Anglo-Catholic heyday here are preserved lovingly, and, judging by the visitors book, it is not just the regular worshippers who love it, for Anglo-Catholics from all over England still treat it as a goal of pilgrimage. I remember sitting in this church on a bright spring afternoon some twenty years ago. I'd been sitting for a while in near-silence, which was suddenly broken by the clunk of the door latch. Two elderly ladies came in. They smiled, genuflected towards the east, and greeted me. Together, they went to the Sacred Heart altar, put a bunch of violets in a vase on it, and knelt before it. The silence continued, now with a counterpoint of birdsong from the churchyard through the open door. Then they stood, made the sign of the cross, and went out again. Father Butler looked on and smiled, I'm sure.
Mel Gibson's movie "The Passion" set out to be a statement and work-of-art with the simultaneous desire to exhibit the Gospel message in a unique form for film (produced entirely in latin and aramaic languages without subtitles), centered on the affliction of Jesus of Nazareth at the hands of his persecutors some 2000 years ago.
The first controversy which stirred about this film was that it would, unlike its predecessors in cinema, 'tell it like it is,' a no-holds-barred bloody spectacle... because that is precisely what happened to Jesus; the vicious prison beatings - his beard plucked from his face, the public lashing with a device designed to shred away flesh down to the bone -- 39 times -- to the crushing ordeal of carrying his cross through the streets while being spat upon, pelted with stones and shards of glass, to the literal nerve-splitting, excruciating crucifixion; that's where the word comes from -- "ex" = out of & "crusia" = the cross. The ordeal of Christ's unjust torture and murder by his conspirators through the agency of the Roman government is intrinsic to the story. Even the Apostle Peter, a Jew, did not hold back in his excoriation of what they had done: "But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses" (Acts 3:14-15). The history, politics and iconoclastic nature of Jesus' revolutionary message to the Jews is pivotal. Inexpendable. For any one element to be removed, diminishes the whole.
In times past cinema and theatre have attempted to deliver the story wrapped in everything from outlandishly wooden performances with crucifixions so romanticized as to be silly (ie, "The Greatest Story Ever Told" with Max Von Sydow) to revoltingly humanistic rapes of the Gospel like the late 70s "Godspell," where Christ is reduced to a superman-clown performing magic tricks to song-n-dance Gospel messages... and no resurrection. Franco Zeffirelli in 1977 attempted a tour de force in his multi-part mini-series for televison, "Jesus of Nazareth," but even it fell short of capturing the true pangs of the horror in the death of Jesus, though it scored very big points for artistry and adhering to most essential Gospel profundities. Later, Martin Scorsese would overshadow the Gospel message almost entirely, yet while creating an unforgettable crucifixion that had people weeping openly in the theatres. The right combination has simply never been accomplished. Gibson's "The Passion" promised to be the 'great white hope'. But once again, forces entangle and overthrow...
The next big controversy centered around Gibson's personal motives for making the film, attacks on his personal life, past, even his family began to surface. Out of this the well known stench of Jewish Defense League and ADL mindlessness began to waft through the air. Sure enough, it was eventually revealed the Gibson and company were being intimidated and harassed by Jewish groups in a snit to 'change' his film -- and alter history -- to make Jews more comfortable with their historic role in the death of the man who single handedly changed western civilization forever. The audacity alone is astonishing, but not surprising. Not anymore.
Meanwhile, Ernst Zundel, in failing health, rots away in a Canadian jail cell while a confederacy of Orwellian dunces attempt to prosecute him for his 'thoughts,' clearly to make an example of him to anyone who would dare question the accuracy of Holocaust numbers or demand historical veracity.
Meanwhile Mordechai Vanunu is spending his 12th year in an Israeli maximum security prison for daring to speak out about Israel's secretive nuclear program in what is hailed by the U.S. as the shining example of 'democracy' for the mid-east.
Meanwhile David Icke is being systematically pursued and persecuted by deranged anti-defamation squads and other fascist groups along his lecture and books tours because they believe his speaking of "reptilian" alien beings is code-speak for "Jews" trickled out to a clandestine neo-nazi organization disguised as Icke/UFO/NWO aficionados.
Gibson and company have clearly caved in to Jewish influence and demands and "softened" the film, extracting scenes and circumstances which cast Jews in an unfavorable light, be it historically valid or not. Gibson started off as a true firebrand in this endeavor, with a passion for his 'passion' -- for him to be suddenly and skillfully nipped in the bud on this work of art must have more to do with mere money, public relations or civic minded-ness. No, it is clear, considering the atmosphere of our times, something far more disturbing in skullduggery is going on behind the scenes. Someone is likely being threatened with physical harm. There are times when one can just sense that something more is happening beyond the veil, and this is one of them. When people suddenly go coldly silent, when they hack off whole limbs of their statues, rewrite entire plays, find themselves on a blacklist... someone somewhere has been pushed into that corner of suffering extortion on a level no one should have to face. There are those who don't believe such power exists nor is wielded in this world. Those people are simply fools.
This is not going to stop. Jewish "defense" organizations and those who sympathize with them are steadily crucifying one person after another, one voice after another, one artwork, author, play, expression, political party, politician or public servant after another on their cross of coerced appeasement. They don't give a damn about the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, freedom of expression, freedom of speech or religion -- they don't give a damn about anyone or anything but themselves, and even THEY don't represent JEWS! They are entirely self-appointed overseers of some nonexistent Jewish mythos that lays claims to everything from holy land to moral absolution on the world stage to justification of racist/Apartheid government to media control over how Jews are treated in an industry their own people, for the most part, seemingly control. These people are in severe denial, history has no meaning to them, truth is of no value whatsoever. The truth be damned, so long as a star chamber of Jews have their way. Gee... is this scenario FAMILIAR or what???
They are a tiny group of extremists; powerful, evil, unrelenting social dictators who have discovered that they can trump the game anytime they want with the 'Jew card' and pull everything to a sickening, deafening stop, and silence not only their critics but alter history and art and politics to their own twisted bent. And what's worse, their actions bring about untold persecutions by thickheaded racist morons who are their antithetical equal opposites, bent on persecuting every Jew for what this powerful minority of Jews do in their name.
These people and these organizations need to be exposed, defied at every turn and legally destroyed before they utterly dominate every aspect of our lives. These are serious times. There are serious consequences to complacency. It can last just so long before their cries of "anti-semitism" and "nazi" to rouse the ire of the sensitive soon fall on scolded ears who have also felt their unrighteous indignation as they burn everything of truth in their path toward the ultimate victory of complete control. But before it reaches that point, we have to do something about it. Speak up, speak out, sacrifice what is necessary for truth. Gibson needs to. I expected him to. He has failed. He is clearly unwilling to take the cup offered him. We all need to. Or the tentacles of this insidious monster will squeeze and crush out every bit of life and light left in this world.
(By Alton Raines 8-14-2003)
"To all -
"Allegedly, in just a few weeks, on March 1, 2010, Europe's best-known political prisoner and my husband, Ernst Zundel, is scheduled to be released from prison. In an emotional telephone conversation with him yesterday, he told me that he is entering the most dangerous phase of his life yet - that the "restrictions" on him will be "Draconian." I leave it up to you to read into that what you will.
"For one, we take it for granted that, at the very least, he will not be allowed a passport, which means he cannot travel anywhere outside the largely Zionist-controlled EU. Since I cannot join him for various reasons, private and political, this means that for the time being, our marriage will have to be "on hold."
"This morning I was sent an excellent, a bit outdated summary of what the Zundel Struggle is really all about. Even though I dislike just being sent a link, in this case I will make an exception and send you one because this article is well-written and graphically beautifully organized and lends itself to hard copy and cyber reproduction. Please spread and post it far and wide.
www.revisionists.com/revisionists/zundel.html
"There are plans, of course, to wrestle Ernst away from his tormentors, of which you will hear more in weeks and months to come. If you can afford to join our struggle financially, please let me know, and I will put you on our Power Letter list which goes out once a month. However, this letter goes only to active supporters who take this struggle seriously and understand what it takes to succeed.
"Please do not reply to this email - instead, write me a short note and send it to irimland@zundelsite.org
"I thank you in advance."

Below is a transcription of the handwritten words of AVARITIA:
I live in contradiction, wanting that which I have not and disdaining that which I have. And the more I have, the less I am. I am emaciated by it, my being a sieve of endless mindless acquisition. My desire scans the horizon; my gaze, monocular I want...I want.... More is my credo. I am crucified by it. Nothing escapes my need. My grasp is amputated by hunger, cannibalized by greed. Was it always so? Even my memory cannot retain substance. I live only in the future dreaming of acquisitions I cannot digest. I am a mouth and an anus. Nothing lies between. Nothing fills me. Nothing sustains me save my desire for more. I starve and am tormented by it, a constant unremitting starvation. I am Avaritia, the gnashing tearing teeth of Gula. What I devour retains in an ever-expanding sack of artifice and accumulation a bottomless compaction of absurdity and repetition. My taste never varies. I am mankind in all his arrogant predictability. What I want I take, preferably by force. It is force that adds zest to the taking. The screams and pleading of mothers as I rape their sons and daughters, the screams and pleading of children as I rape their fathers and mothers, the belching silence that follows the ravaging momentary sating of appetite...and the desire for more. I am consumed by hunger. There is no bottom to it, no accumulation. I sustain Gula’s girth and he sustains my hunger. We are symbiotic functionaries of Acedia’s dreamless sleep. It is not I, Avaritia, who determines the menu. It is Acedia. By his otiose reliance on dogma, the menu is war. I simply devour the fare and prepare the order of repetition. The layering is a natural consequence of our triangulated symbiosis. Gula, Acedia, and I, Avaritia, are the triad of mankind’s entelechy. As we support each other so, too, are we supported by Sloth. No, not supported, elevated. It is Acedia, in all his slothful ignorance, who supports us all. His strength is magnificent; his power, absolute. Throughout the layering generations, the increasing weight of Gula and my undiminished hunger have affected no interruption of Acedia’s sleep. Dreamless, he sleeps on. War upon war, atrocity upon atrocity, century upon century, he sleeps on, complaisant in his majority. Reified by indifference, lulled by the lamentations of innocence, he sleeps on. And what of innocence? For me, Avaritia, it is the path untaken. Inedible, ungraspable, unpalatable. I ignore its possibility, its existence, its toxicity. It is a parallel entree on a menu that would destroy me. War is my menu, only that. It tempts my appetite, satisfies my need...but I am intrigued. Gula stores my pillage and within him lies evidence of my enemy. In my avarice, I have eaten and, through Gula, consumed that which would awaken Acedia. Art. Within the gut of Gula lies the death of sloth. Within the husk of artifact and object, I have devoured that which would wake Acedia from his dreamless sleep and erase his dominance, destroy his protectorate, and decimate his dominion. My ravishing hunger lays vulnerable our triad of complicity. The leaded weight of Acedia’s lids precludes the threat of epiphanic insurrection. But personal enlightenment within the congregation cannot be curtailed. I tear and snatch and gobble and within this catholicity of consumption all tidbits are desirable. I leave it to Gula to cope with matters of digestion. His layered weighting can contain my all. Acedia’s sleep will not be compromised by my lack of perspicuity. Though Art eludes y acquisition through mask and perception, my metaphors prevent insurrection. Our triad is assured. Epiphany is serendipitous and quixotic. The congregation will enter oblivion unenlightened. Within the swelling waste of Gula, objects will remain objects and artifacts will remain artifacts and Art remains eternally chimeric and suspect. History contains us all and finally history itself will be the final artifact to enter oblivion. Gula’s expanding dependence will cease and Acedia’s ancient slumber will be smothered in ashes. My hunger, finally my hunger, will cease and the earth will be delivered unto chaos, cleansing, renewing possibility. Although war, pure and simple killing and pillaging, is my major fare, Acedia’s otiosity requires of me also more subtle, less stringent acquisition. Religion in all its fervor and fanaticism affords me great license to gratify my hunger in a disciplined and leisurely fashion. Consider the Inquisition: what a delightful and titillating repast and how fulfilling the gut of Gula! From Augustine to Napoleon, my feast was laid; fifteen hundred years of rapine and piety. I yearn for repeat. Throughout the reigns of the Innocents my hunger was blessed. Religion and greed were exquisitely coupled with the cowardice and cravenness of the multitude. Lands were taken and borders reframed, wealth rechanneled, names renamed. Generations were shorn of their selfness and the blessed of the blest were blessed. Man’s viability was cast in the crucible of the chasuble. Fire was the purifier and catalyst of his reformation; the stake his armature, ashes his reclamation. To the delight of Gula and me, Avaritia, for fifteen hundred years the mundane menu of war was enhanced by the verve and spectacular condiments of the Inquisition We long for repeat. Torquemada was one of Acedia’s most dedicated disciples. Not guilty he, the sin of avarice. He delivered unto Gula directly, in circumvention of me, Avaritia, the feast of souls. How envious I was of his delicacy and elegant perspicuity...and how advantageous to my rapacious opportunistic appetite. Hypocrisy flourished and so, too, the gut of Gula with the spoils of apostasy. What an artist he was! His attention to detail was phenomenal, his eye accurate and astute...and his mind an absolute treasure house of fanatical dedication For Avaritia, this icon of Acedia is deserving of all past and present celebrity and fame. His purity of purpose and servitude to doctrine and dogma sweetened the gut of Gula with piety and perseverance... No, I was not without envy. The power of Acedia controls us all. It is odd that sloth, the greatest sin, should be viewed so lightly...nay, even praised...nay, admired, even required of great leaders and pooh-bahs. Sloth is the brain of faith and it is sloth that weights the gaseous sack of Gula. Layer upon layer, generation upon generation, it is Acedia that defines the depth and breadth of gluttony. And so I grasp and grab and snap and snarl and stuff the gut of Gula. Without Acedia’s sleeping benediction, my purpose is primitive, unkempt, unworthy of civilized mores and methods, unworthy of Gula’s layering storage, unworthy of history. Acedia defines me, gives virtue to war and taking, pilfering and plundering, rapine and rape. He is my master and benefactor, the lord of lords. Without Acedia, there is Nothingness, Truth, and Chaos, a state of intrepid singularity, a shunning of our symbiotic triad, a denial of accretion. Truth is the opposite of Acedia. It is life with mind wide open. Sloth is its enemy. I cannot protect Acedia; I can only make profitable his dreamless sleep. Through repeat, through the distending gut of Gula, illusion is supported by the life or death actualism of Avaritia. This I am. Actuality is what I do. Entropy is my heart sand entropy is my enemy. Change is my purpose and exchange is my reality. I shade my eyes in shame and duplicity. Only Gula’s layering distension defines my purpose. Am I real? If Acedia wakes, am I real? I am proclaimed to be a sin but this is, of course, hypocrisy. Those very ones who name me, defame me, are me. Torquemada, with all his unquestionable piety and capacious forgiveness, was the greediest of them all. By avoiding me, he became me in his cannibalization of souls. Is this not hypocrisy? Acedia’s sleep is hypocrisy. Gluttony and Greed are hypocrisy. All that pretends to be other than what it is is hypocrisy. I layer Gula’s gut simply because it takes time to eat. If he would digest rather than retain, there would be no history, no layering of repeat, no past, no future, only the abiding moment. Enough of hypocrisy. I am avoiding that which breaks my teeth, that which I cannot consume, that which bypasses greed and delights the glut of Gula. All of my ways and horrific plundering cannot compete with the noisome plundering of Acedia’s sleep. The layering repeat from father to son to father to son which blankets the nurturing bed of dreamless sleep is sloth’s magnificence. Spotlessly sterile in immutable rhetoric, its moted lullabies scale the weighted lids of the true believer with Acedia’s slumber. Beneath this pall all thievery swims unnoticed. My admiration for the reigns of the Innocents, and especially in Torquemada’s Spain, is unbounded. Ordered, righteous, relentless, the acquisition of property, lives and souls was delivered unto Gula without messiness or mayhem. Neatly layered strata generation upon generation, how I envied this richness of Acedia’s sleep. How bloodless! How civilized! How beneficent! I take by force, Acedia consumes by forgiveness, purification and mercy. What finesse! What artistry! Nothing disturbs Acedia’s sleep... It is the fire that moves me to tears of envy. To illustrate the everlasting agony of the everlasting soul by stealing the life of the temporary body through merciful purification is sublime theater, unmitigated sloth, immaculate conception. How brilliant were the Innocents in their slumber. How dedicated Torquemada in his acquisition of souls. I was little more than a jackal on the fringes of so elegant a feast. Gula’s gut boiled with titillation. And the fear... I could taste it though my avarice was relegated to the stealing of goods and boundaries, neither esoteric nor engaging, the usual pedestrian fare of Avaritia. How I pitied Acedia. In his dreamless slumber he knew not that which I envied him most. Three hundred generations of pious sloth...and still he reigns, and still he fills, or attempts to fill, the layering gut of Gula. What a waste! What blind tasteless consumption! All that delicious fear, agony and toasting roasting purification of souls. All the tidy prissy assumptions of immortality and afterlife, clean bibs for a tasteless feast over-cooked in the icy flames of rhetoric and retribution What waste! Acedia eats and offers unto Gula only the layered ashes of dreamless sleep. Of all the seven deadly sins, it is I, Avaritia, who exceeds the limitations of personality. Luxuria, Invidia, Ira, Superbia, Gula, Acedia—none of these touch my universality. I am everywhere, in everything, in every thing living and everything not living. I am entropy, the equalizer of all things. I am the supreme power and processor, I am that which Acedia calls God. Only sloth would trivialize my magnitude. Only ignorance seeks my containment. All that devours is Avaritia, from the advancing glacier to the warming temperature that eats its flow, from an expanding universe to a universe of compaction. Gula’s gut is layered only with mankind’s recordation, man’s view of things, man’s wishes and wants and anthropomorphisms. He has named Avaritia a sin and Avaritia is a god. Such is his paradox. He sees himself in all things and measures all things according to his reflection. Even time, which he cannot grasp, he measures according to his own dimension; even time which he has invented and ascribes to all things living and all things not living, he ascribes to his own magnitude. And this, too, is Avaritia. This, too, is greed and pride and gluttony. And above all, this is sloth. I marvel at my capacity for exchange, to move things here and place things there. I marvel at how quickly the way it was becomes the way it is, how lakes become mountains and mountains become lakes. I marvel at how men become monsters and monsters become saints. I marvel at how the way it is becomes the way it was, how all I eat becomes Gula’s gut, how I retain nothing, not even shit. I am everywhere, in everything. Immensurable by time or virtue. I simply am, with or without comprehension. Acedia considers me a sin yet flourishes in hypocrisy. What could be more greedy than acquisition by sloth? Torquemada, once acclaimed, is now defamed. An entire continent was delivered unto Spain for his pious persecutions, but now Spain has lost its continent and Torquemada has lost his soul. What is, was and what was is yet to be. Torquemada is one of my more delectable tidbits. I relish him whenever and wherever he appears. He is a repeat that even Gula savors in his gluttonous accumulation, a welcome reprise from common war and hackneyed suffering. How greatly I admire dedication, passion, piety, fanaticism. To gnash and chew and cannibalize with abandon, willy-nilly, helter-skelter in the throes of Acedia’s sleep is greed’s brightest accomplishment. To be feared and revered as Torquemada was feared and revered as the flames ripped souls from the heretics and heathen made me salivate with envy. The cheering applause was deafening, sinking drowsing Acedia deeper into sleep while I, Avaritia, licked and lapped the bourn. While he diverted, I cavorted picking pockets, rapping babies, and stealing continents. The screams of war in harmony with smaller choruses and soaring solos of agony and beseechment fill the world of men with the sweet songs of entelechy. How secure they are in their conviction, in their slumber. How peaceful the sleep of Acedia. How fulfilling the man of Avaritia. How distending the gut of Gula. With full orchestration, I sound the hymns of men. Turgid, bombastic, filled with canon and falderal. In the time of Torquemada, how sweet it was to hear the limpid strains of the dispossessed and dying flung high above the baseline of war. The Sturm und Drang of repeat so heavy and purpled by repetition was lightened by the lilting refrain of the Inquisition Though i prospered, I did not create those scorching lyrics of flaming tones. No, those came directly from the otiose sleep of Acedia. How perfectly made he was to satisfy my needs. Pure, chaste, sinless, he pursued his dedication with charity and mercy. His belief in the beyondness was unblemished by doubt. He wanted nothing, expected nothing on this earth. That, he left for me, Avaritia, to pursue. His appetite was for humbler fare asking only the gift of everlasting life. Imagine! He dedicated his earthly life to the purification of souls so that he might live among them in life everlasting. I weep with envy and gratitude for Acedia’s slothful complicity. In his slumber all theft is possible. There is no need for contrition, apology, or remorse. If not for the frothy fare of the likes of Torquemada, Gula’s gut would be leaded weight indeed. My appetite is implacable. I consume without metaphor or morality. I retain nothing. I remember nothing. I am process, universal and omnipresent. I am that which Is. Locked in acedian slumber, man’s nature cannot accept my Isness, his temporality, my constancy. He fears not my capacity for change but rather my intention to exchange, for this he cannot accept...to be replaced. And so he sleeps. Acedia sleeps. And so I eat, layering the gut of Gula with the shit of repetition. My time will come. An exchange will be made, for it is, of course, in process. History is a petty thing. Obese Gula, so ponderous and puffed up with authenticity and self-belief. How heavy he hangs while I, Avaritia, stuff his gut with repetition. I exist freely without Gula. Gula is merely the artificial and momentary recordation of mankind’s fear of exchange. Through repeat and the recordation of repeat, man strives to exist, to retain his control, his reality and his immortality. Through Gula and Acedia, he seeks to survive. But he will not survive. He will be exchanged. He, too, will be exchanged. The silence will envelop man and he, with all his metaphors, will be silenced. He, too, will be silenced. Will my menu serve no future? Will greed cease and avarice dispossess? And what of Gula? If Acedia wakes, exchange will occur. Does man fear this more than the silence, more than extinction? Comatose, in Acedia’s slumber, does he comprehend the difference? Does he care? In truth, I am sick of it all. I am sick of the same fare over and over again. Man is no longer my witness. He refuses my magnitude and compresses my appetite. He has become provincial and depressing in his mediocrity and sloth. (I do not demean or insult Acedia. He has served man’s petty greed with pious sleep and religious devotion but I would exert my full significance.) Unlike Acedia, I am capable of dreaming. I require neither Acedia nor Gula to assist me. I am a force. I do not sleep. I do not accumulate. Time means nothing to me for I do not mark beginnings or endings. I simply am. I do not seek change for the sake of layering. I exchange to create silence. I have no taste for Torquemadas and tortured history. I dream of something other. Anything other. Anything at all. I hunger now for the end of endings, for the end of answers and rotted strictures. I want man gone, his vile and odious stench, his petty pillaging and pilfering. I gag now on repetition. I long for chaos, to have my hunger writ large in a menu of infinite choices. I would exchange him for less boring fare. My jaws are weary of repetition, wary of gnawing repeat. Mankind embraces Acedia and proclaims me God, a tautology of infinite redundancy...8/6/45. He dies in dreamless sleep.
