69.- Esta escena, tomada en el Paseo de los Tristes, me recordó por la cara y la vestimenta del mimo a la pelicular “El Gran Dictador” de Charles Chaplin. Lo suyo hubiera sido ponerle en sus manos un globo de la tierra. Pero he preferido dejarlo en su configuración original. Quisiera dedicárselo al amigo Javi_Indy, por la ayuda que me prestó, en cuanto al método de virado a b/n. Un saludo Javi.

"Rule by decree is a style of governance allowing quick, unchallenged promulgation of law by a single person or group, and is used primarily by dictators, absolute monarchs and military leaders" (Wikipedia). The UK government's anti-Covid laws are such decrees - they are laws neither discussed or passed by Parliament. People are not amused!

Elle sert de décor à une scène du film Star Wars, épisode II : L'Attaque des clones (2002), ainsi que comme quartier général de l'armée anglaise en Égypte dans le film Lawrence d'Arabie (1962). En 2012, elle sert également de palais au dictateur incarné par Sacha Baron Cohen dans le film The Dictator.
Exposition ibéro-américaine de 1929 : elle doit permettre au pays de renouer avec le Nouveau Monde, d'améliorer les relations avec les différents pays latino-américains et de réunir la majorité de ces nations, mettant en scène la mémoire du passé impérial espagnol et rendant ainsi hommage à la race hispanique.

Will someone please say the unsayable?
Will someone please tell me I'm wrong?
I live every day like a sad beast of prey
For I have to appear to be strong
And that's wrong
I'm too weak to be strong
Today I met with the generals
And the head of my secret police
Discussing conspiracies and prison facilities
For opponents I can never release
And there'll be no peace
Until they're released
Of course I'm in league with the army
It's not like I've got any choice
They officially adore me and my father before me
But gunpoint has a firm voice
The joke is I'm not even a demagogue
Have you heard me giving a speech?
My facts are invented
I sound quite demented
So deluded it beggars belief
It would be such a relief
Not to give another speech
Can someone please say the impossible?
Crowds should be out on the street
I've lost any will to threaten or kill
I'll be easy for you to defeat
And any resistance I meet
I'll beat a retreat
I'd rather that you didn't shoot me
But I'd quite understand if you did
Watch out for the army
The generals will go barmy
At the thought of a takeover bid
Oh please will somebody put me
Out of my misery?
This sad old dictator must sooner or later
Flee so that you can be free
If you get rid of me
We can all be free

For no less than 35 years, Marshal Tito was the face of Yugoslavia. He moved on the stage of world politics with bravado: he opposed the almighty Soviet Union, his Tito-ism formed the ideal buffer against Stalinsm for the West. In short, Tito put Yugoslavia on the world map. More importantly, Tito has managed to maintain stability in Yugoslavia all these years. How did he manage to keep those very strong nationalistic feelings in check all these years? Tito just said: Don't whine, shut up. Most importantly, Tito, with a sophisticated strategy, made sure that no people felt like a minority. No one is better or more valuable than another. As the leader of his partisan army, which consisted of different population groups, he was the only one who really stood above the parties. Especially in the early years of his reign unsavory things happened. Indeed. People who opposed him during the war or shortly afterwards have been disabled. Thousands of people have been murdered and beaten to death. The problem with dictators, and Tito was of course a dictator, is that they don't have suitable successors. No one can and should stand in their shadow, so when such a ruler dies, power falls into the hands of all kinds of incapable figures. After Tito's death in 1980, Yugoslavia is rapidly declining. The increasingly poor relations between the different population groups eventually culminate in a civil war. You can still find slogans of Tito at the most southern point of Croatia, at the abandoned Prevlaka Fortress: Tito - leads our way - to je naš put.. On the road to Prevlaka Fortress we pass beautiful Italian cypress trees.
Prevlaka is a peninsula at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor - Montenegro. It is the southernmost point in Croatia. There is a neglected fortress from 1870. It was bombed in 1943 and this is still clearly visible. There are plans for restoration. The reserve is totally overgrown, but nature is breathtaking. There is a beautiful view from the terrace. Prevlaka's strategic location and proximity to a naval base have led Prevlaka to several quarrels between Croatia and Yugoslavia. In the early 1990s, during the Croatian War of Independence, Yugoslavia occupied the peninsula. In 1996, the two countries agreed to demilitarize it, and UN observers came to monitor it. Recognized as a territory of Croatia in 2006. Worth a visit if you like abandoned ancient ruins. On the road past beautiful Italian cypress trees to the most southern point of Croatia.
Maar liefst 35 jaar lang was maarschalk Tito hét gezicht van Joegoslavië. Met bravoure bewoog hij zich op het toneel van de wereldpolitiek: hij joeg de almachtige Sovjet-Unie tegen zich in het harnas, zijn titoïsme vormde voor het Westen de ideale buffer tegen het stalinisme. Hoe slaagde hij erin die zeer heftige nationalistische gevoelens al die jaren in toom te houden? ‘Tito zei gewoon: “Niet zeuren, bek houden.”‘ Het belangrijkste was dat Tito er met een uitgekiende strategie voor zorgde dat geen enkel volk zich een minderheid voelde. Niemand is beter of meer waard dan een ander. Als leider van zijn ,b>partizanenleger, dat uit verschillende bevolkingsgroepen bestond, was hij de enige die werkelijk boven de partijen stond. Vooral in de eerste jaren van zijn bewind zijn er onverkwikkelijke zaken gebeurd. Inderdaad. Mensen die hem tijdens de oorlog of vlak daarna tegenwerkten zijn uitgeschakeld. Duizenden mensen zijn vermoord en doodgeslagen. Na Tito’s dood in 1980 gaat het snel bergafwaarts met Joegoslavië. De steeds slechtere verhoudingen tussen de verschillende bevolkingsgroepen culmineren uiteindelijk in een burgeroorlog. Er zijn vandaag de dag nog steeds slogan's te vinden van Tito, zo ook bij het verlaten Prevlaka Fortress Tito lijdt ons de weg - Tito - to je naš put.. Prevlaka is een schiereiland bij de ingang van de baai van Kotor - Montenegro. Het is het meest zuidelijke punt van Kroatië. Er is een verwaarloosd fort uit 1870. Er zijn plannen voor restauratie. Het reservaat is totaal overwoekerd, maar de natuur is adembenemend. Vanaf het terras is er een prachtig uitzicht. In het begin van de jaren negentig, tijdens de Kroatische Onafhankelijkheidsoorlog, bezette Joegoslavië het schiereiland. In 1996 kwamen de twee landen overeen om het te demilitariseren, en VN-waarnemers kwamen het volgen. Erkend als een grondgebied van Kroatië in 2006. Een bezoek waard als je van verlaten oude ruïnes houdt. Op weg langs prachtige Italiaanse cipressen naar het meest zuidelijke punt van Kroatië.
If there's one thing that dictators do a lot of, it's over-sized buildings, and the one that tops the list is the Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest. Originally called the People's Palace, the people of Romania certainly didn't ask for it. The colossal structure was built simply to show off the power of one man, Nicolai Ceausescu.
Si hay algo que los dictadores hacen mucho, son edificios de gran tamaño, y el que encabeza la lista es el Palacio del Parlamento en Bucarest. Originalmente llamado Palacio del Pueblo, la gente de Rumania ciertamente no lo solicitó. La colosal estructura fue construida simplemente para mostrar el poder de un hombre, Nicolai Ceausescu.

The Studebaker Dictator was an automobile produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana from 1927-1937. The name was intended to connote that the model "dictated the standard" that other automobile makes would be obliged to follow. At the time, the only dictator that would have immediately come to an American mind was Benito Mussolini, whose popular image was one of audacity and strength, in spite of well-publicized fascist violence. However, the rise of Adolf Hitler in Germany tainted the word 'dictator'. Studebaker abruptly discontinued the name 'Dictator' in 1937.

This reminded me so much of the Barber Chair scene from Chaplin's "The Great Dictator"
The Honeyeaters scrambled up the stems until one took the wrong leaf, and the other was able to continue up higher,
Sadly by then the other bird had flown.

The Studebaker Dictator was an automobile produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana (USA) from 1927-1937. Model year 1928 was the first full year of Dictator production.
The Dictator was Studebaker's lowest-price model, followed (in ascending order) by the Studebaker Commander and Studebaker President series. There was a Chancellor in 1927, too, but that year only
In June 1929, Studebaker began offering an 8-cylinder engine for the Dictator series (221 cubic inches, 70 bhp at 3,200 rpm), designed by Barney Roos

Polls show that about 80 percent of Japanese find the bills hard to swallow.
A Lower House special committee on July 15 approved security legislation amid shouting, heckling and signs raised by opposition lawmakers that criticized Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
The All Saints monastery was built in early XVIII century by St. Antim the Iverian, the Metropolitan bishop of Wallachia at the time. Nicolae Ciausescu, the Communist dictator of Romania, ordered to have the monastery demolished to make space for his Palace of the Parliament, but a group of engineers were able to save the historic church by convincing Ciausescu that they could move it on rails away from the construction site and "hide" it from his sight behind an apartment building.
St. Antim himself was a truly remarkable man with a truly tragic life story. He was born in Georgia (hence the Iverian moniker, as Georgia was known as Iveria at the time), captured by the Ottomans and sold as a slave in Constantinople. At the slave market he caught an eye of the Orthodox Patriarch who rescued him from slavery and taught him. St. Antim proved to be truly brilliant, learned fluently many languages and sciences, and set up the first printing press in the principality of Wallachia, pre-cursor of modern Romania, and even traveled to Tbilisi to set up the first printing press in his native Georgia. St. Antim rose to head the Orthodox church in Romania, supported and inspired efforts to free the country from the Ottoman yoke. This arose resentment by an Ottoman-appointed princeling who ruled in Bucharest, who banished him to another part of the Turkish domain. On the way to be exiled somewhere in modern-day Bulgaria, he was murdered. St. Antim was canonized in 1990's.
Монастырь Всех Святых был построен в начале XVIII века Св. Антимом Иверийцем, митрополитом Валахии. В 1980-е гг. при Чаушеску монастырь собирались снести чтобы освободить место для строительства Дворца Парламента, но группа инженеров смогла спасти историческую церковь, убедив диктатора, что они смогут её сдвинуть на рельсах в сторону от стройки и "спрятать" в одном из дворов.
Св. Антим Ивериец, основатель монастыря, был выдающимся человеком с очень трагичной судьбой. Он родился и вырос в Грузии, был схвачен во время набега турков, обращён в рабство, и продавался на невольничьем рынке в Констанополе. По счастливой случайности, он приглянулся Патриарху, который его выкупил и обучил. Св. Антим стал одним из самых просвещённых иерархов Православной церкви, свободно владевшим несколькими языкаи. Он основал первый печатный станок в Румынии, а также вернувшись на время в родную Грузию основал первый печатный станок в Тбилиси. Приняв сан митрополита он поддерживал и вдохновлял попытки свергнуть турецкое иго в Румынии, чем вызвал гнев князька, назначенного в Бухарест Портой. Он приказал сослать Св. Антима из Румынии; по пути в ссылку, где-то в Болгарии, он был убит. Св. Антим был канонизирован в 1990-е гг.

No not mine !!
This is the bathroom of the former dictator of Romania , Nicolae Ceausescu . Just a wee bit OTT, I feel, but then dictators are not known for their exquisite taste. All this extravagant use of gold while his subjects were starving. Taken at the Spring palace , Bucharest .
Click on image(2x) to see the incredible detail.
My watch after the crash.... the true victim! I'm recovering quickly, I think. But still pain in my old bones and the bruised flesh. ;-).
A highly slid version of the iconic Norwegian lady statue on Virginia Beach,VA. The statue is a tribute to the lives lost in the 1891 wreck of the Norwegian barque Dictator. The ship ran aground during a storm off the sometimes treacherous waters off the beach. The pregnant wife and son of the ship's captain were tragically lost. The wooden masthead washed ashore and was displayed for many years until it was destroyed and lost during a hurricane. Later,a Norwegian sculpture created twin statues that are displayed on opposite sides of the Atlantic. The Norwegian lady watches over sailors guiding them to safe passage.
In this snapseed edit,it would seem the lady has some help from above in her quest...Have a great sliders Sunday all!
If we had been running a lemonade stand on the day we shot this series, we would not have had as many visitors as we did.
York Street is getting major drainage work and widening. We set up by the side of the road with road construction going on.
Our first visitors were part of the construction team who were worried we were trying to sell something by the side of the road. We showed them our business card and let them look through the camera, they were happy. They may still have thought the two old guys were nuts.
Our next visitor was a guy in a large pickup. He was hoping we were selling models by the side of the road. In fact, he stopped the truck in the middle of the street while he tried to talk us into selling our set and models. "I pay top dollar"! We gave him a business postcard as well. There was a message from the guy on the answering machine later. He was still offering top dollar for train stuff.
Next, a fellow working in the new, warehouse offices built behind the old house approached. He too seemed to be hoping we were setting up a roadside model store. He too, received a card and an invitation to peek through the camera. Minutes later, one of his co-workers had to see what the excitement was all about. Another card and invitation to see what the camera was seeing.
The one24thscale team had made six new friends before we shot the first frame. Who knows if any of them went to the web site to see more?
Taking time to talk with anyone who approaches us as we work has been part of our Social Networking from the beginning. Whether it is just a passerby or some authority figure, we can usually convince them, we are pretty harmless.
This is a forced perspective photograph of 1/24 scale die-cast model cars and buildings in front of a real background.

Well, I don't think I have ever observed one of our native magpies with such a tyrannical, intimidating, subjugating personality as this character.
I'm assuming a dominant male, given his size. Strutting and puffing up and letting any other bird who gets within several feet of him know who is boss.
So I've nick-named him Mussolini after the charismatic, but highly controversial Italian dictator.
Here I photographed him from underneath when he was on a high lookout, surveying his territory beneath him. True dictator style.
These native Australian birds are commonly called magpies but are not within Corvidae like true magpies, crows etc. They are in family Artamidae.
