Yesterday, a Japanese leader was assassinated.
I am very sad.
The leader's name is Shinzo Abe.
He had already retired from the post of prime minister, but his influence is still enormous.
I sincerely pray for the souls of a great leader who loved Japan and loved the people 🙏

Helios 2/58 44M-7 wide-open. "Falscher Fuffziger" denotes literally a "bad penny" (and 50 of them). But the semantic field is much wider and includes a "bad seed", a "back-stabber", and somebody who is "phoney". Essentially, it is an instrument of character assassination.

The Church of Our Savior on the Spilled Blood.
Mosaic of Christ Pantocrator under the central dome.
This marvelous Russian-style church was built on the spot where Emperor Alexander II was assassinated in March 1881.
The decision was taken to build a church on the spot where the Emperor was mortally wounded. The church was built between 1883 and 1907 and was officially called the Resurrection of Christ Church (a.k.a. The Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood ). The construction of the church was almost entirely funded by the Imperial family and thousands of private donators. Both the interior and exterior of the church is decorated with incredibly detailed mosaics, designed and created by the most prominent Russian artists of the day (V.M. Vasnetsov, M.V. Nesterov and M.A. Vrubel). Interestingly, despite the church's very obviously Russian aspect, its principle architect, A. Parland, was not even Russian by birth.
The church was closed for services in the 1930s, when the Bolsheviks went on an offensive against religion and destroyed churches all over the country. It remained closed and under restoration for over 30 years and was finally re-opened in 1997 in all its dazzling former glory.
In the back alleys of Samarkand, Uzbekistan, are remnants, art, and an observatory of Uhlug-beg, the grandson of Timur, or Tamerlan. Uhlug was a giant in viewing the known cosmos. Got assassinated. He grew up in a rough neighborhood.
With Hirondelle Amour, 1933, Miro created a wash of lively colors upon his canvas, out of which emerged forms and lines, suggesting the origins of both human thought and the universe. Conducting his own Surrealism-inspired exploration, Miro invented a new kind of pictorial space in which carefully rendered objects issuing strictly from the artist's imagination are juxtaposed with basic, recognizable forms. The presence of amorphous shapes, floating in an undefined space, characterize much of Miro works in 1930s.
Joan Miro was never closely aligned with any movement and was too retiring in his manner to be the object of a personality cult, like his compatriot Pablo Picasso, but the formal and technical innovations that he sustained over a very long career guaranteed his influence on 20th-century art.
Miro's oft-quoted interest in the assassination of painting is derived from a dislike of bourgeois art, which he believed was used as a way to promote propaganda and cultural identity among the wealthy. Specifically, Miro responded to Cubism in this way, which by the time of his quote had become an established art form in France. He is quoted as saying "I will break their guitar," referring to Picasso's paintings, with the intent to attack the popularity and appropriation of Picasso's art by politics.

Sic semper tyrannis is a Latin phrase attributed to Marcus Iunius Brutus, one of the senarors who assassinated Julius Caesar. It can be translated as "Thus always to tyrants". It is a shortened version of the phrase "Sic semper evello mortem tyrannis" ("Thus always I bring death to tyrants"). It is also featured on the Great Seal of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated on Friday, November 22, 1963, at 12:30 p.m. Central Standard Time in Dallas, Texas, while riding in a presidential motorcade through Dealey Plaza.[1] Kennedy was riding with his wife Jacqueline, Texas Governor John Connally, and Connally's wife Nellie when he was fatally shot by former U.S. Marine Lee Harvey Oswald firing in ambush from a nearby building. Governor Connally was seriously wounded in the attack. The motorcade rushed to Parkland Memorial Hospital where Kennedy was pronounced dead about 30 minutes after the shooting; Connally recovered.
Character Assassination. The wrecking ball awaits.........

Although other presidential parade cars were built in 1968 and 1972, it was used occasionally by Presidents Johnson, Nixon, Ford and Carter. The X-100 remained in service until early 1977. The car is now exhibited to the public at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.

Representing Dallas' oldest sections of town, the Westend Historic District has played a vital role in the city's development and remains as one of the richest historical areas in Dallas. Much of John Neely Bryan's original townsite is included within the district, which encompasses an area over thirty blocks west of the city's central business district. The high concentration of early twentieth century commercial warehouses within the district provides a vivid reminder of the economic boom experienced by Dallas during the first two decades of this century. These structures stand as testimony to Dallas' establishment as one of the most important wholesale distributing centers in the Southwest and illustrate the close economic and architectural relationship between Dallas and Chicago. Several outstanding examples of Chicago School and Commercial styles of architecture are included within the district along with a small complex of county government buildings, Dealey Plaza, the John F. Kennedy or JFK Memorial, and Founder's Plaza, which constitute the remainder of the contributing sites within the Westend District.
The Dallas-Textiles (Dal-Tex) Building is a seven-story office building located at 501 Elm Street in the West End Historic District of Downtown Dallas, Texas. Designed by architects James P. Hubbell and Herbert Miller Greene as a warehouse for the Kingman Texas Implement Company, the building has been described as one of the "earliest Sullivanesque designs in Texas". It has also been reported to show the Prairie School's influence on Greene. The building, sometimes called the Dallas-Textiles Building, the Dal-Tex Market Building, or the Dal-Tex Mart Building, was a center of the textile business in Dallas.
In addition to its history in the textile business in Dallas, the Dal-Tex Building also has a history tied to the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Many have alleged, due to its location across the street from the Texas School Book Depository in Dealey Plaza, that some of the shots fired at the President's motorcade originated from the Dal-Tex Building which is within a zone that also includes the Dallas County Records Building and parts of the Dallas Criminal Courts Building. And, one final piece of history indicates that Abraham Zapruder, the man who shot the famous Zapruder film of the Kennedy assassination, had his offices on the fourth floor of the Dal-Tex Building.
The Westend Historic District (including the Dallas-Textiles Building as a contributing structure) was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on November 14, 1978. Most of the information above was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration that can be viewed here:

My interpretation of the Julius Ceasar assassination.
Julius Ceasar was assassinated by a group of senators in 44 bc during a meeting of the Senate where they stabbed him 23 times.
An extensive build but had a lot of pleasure building it. I hope you like it.
Benazir Bhutto, who was assassinated Thursday in Rawalpindi, was the first female prime minister of Pakistan and of any Islamic nation. She led Pakistan from 1988 to 1990 and again from 1993 to 1996.
Benazir Bhutto died Thursday after a suicide bombing at a political rally in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
Bhutto, 54, spent eight years in self-imposed exile in Great Britain and Dubai after President Farooq Leghari dismissed her second administration amid accusations of corruption, intimidation of the judiciary, a breakdown of law and order, and undermining the justice system.
She was found guilty of corruption and sentenced to five years in prison. The conviction was later overturned but she remained in exile until this year.
She returned to Pakistan in October after President Pervez Musharraf signed an amnesty lifting corruption charges. Watch political history of Bhutto »
"Bhutto was the daughter of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, former president and prime minister of Pakistan, who was hanged in 1979 for the murder of a political opponent two years after he was ousted as prime minister in a military coup. Benazir Bhutto was the de facto leader of her father's Pakistan People's Party.
Her brother, Murtaza, was killed along with six others in a 1996 shootout with police at his home. Another brother, Shahnawaz, died mysteriously in France in 1985.
"I know the past is tragic, but I'm an optimist by nature," Bhutto told Blitzer in September. "I put my faith in the people of Pakistan, I put my faith in God. I feel that what I am doing is for a good cause, for a right cause -- to save Pakistan from extremists and militants and to build regional security.
"I know the danger is out there, but I'm prepared to take those risks."
Benazir Bhutto earned degrees from Radcliffe College and Oxford University and received an honorary degree from Harvard University in 1989.
She leaves her husband of 20 years, Asif Ali Zardari, two daughters and a son.
Bhutto's husband issued a statement Thursday from his home in Dubai saying, "All I can say is we're devastated, it's a total shock."

Cockermouth
Cockermouth’s best known resident is the fine marble statue of Richard Southwell Bourke, sixth earl of Mayo, M.P. for Cockermouth 1857-68.
The statue was erected after Mayo was assassinated in 1872, whilst visiting the Andaman Islands as Viceroy and Governor-General of India.
It’s placed magnificently in the centre of town. A marvellous statue.

Exactly one month after the infamous assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serbian nationalist, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, and through the resultant shockwave, allies and enemies were made worldwide, beginning WW1. While many European countries looked to de-escalate the rising tensions in the Balkans, Germany urged Austria-Hungary forward in their warmongering. The Kingdom of Serbia fought Austria-Hungary bitterly throughout the war, and it is estimated that over 1 million Serbs, mostly civilians, and including 60% of the male population, were killed during the war. A shortage of manpower saw the Serbs regularly recruiting young boys and old men, and a shortage of equipment due to a tattered economy saw only 1/3 of the army fitted with proper uniforms, and only 2/3 of the men equipped with modern rifles. But despite being outmatched hopelessly by the powerful Austro-Hungarian empire, the Serbs and their allies proved indomitable, and the Balkan front became one of the most unforgiving theaters of the war for the Central Powers.

(This is a PHOTO MONTAGE: the car is in the army museum of Toledo, where I photographed it. I placed the image on a photo of the scene of the assassination. Both were taken in March, 2018.
The car position is correct, left-hand traffic was still used in Madrid in 1921. The driver was going to take the street on his left, Serrano street. )
At 20:15 hours on the 8th of March, 1921, the Prime Minister Eduardo Dato was assasinated in Madrid, in front of the Puerta de Alcalá, as he was bound from the parliament building for his home,.
From a motorcycle Indian with sidecar occupied by three anarchists, which followed the automobile, numerous shots were fired on the Plaza de la Independencia at the rear of the car, killing Dato.
The car, next day:. It was a Mormon 34 - Limousine:

(Esta imagen es un FOTOMONTAJE: el coche de Dato se encuentra en el museo del Ejército de Toledo, en donde tomé una foto. Y la he superpuesto sobre otra del lugar del atentado. Tomé ambas en marzo de 2018.
La posición es correcta, aunque parezca extraña. En 1921 el sentido de circulación en Madrid era aún el izquierdo. El conductor giraba hacia la izquierda, para tomar la calle de Serrano)
A las 20:15 del 8 de marzo de 1921, el presidente del gobierno Eduardo Dato fué asesinado en Madrid, junto a la Puerta de Alcalá. Regresaba a su casa desde el Senado. Tres anarquistas le seguían en una moto con sidecar . Dato no llevaba escolta. Tras cerciorarse de la posición de los ocupantes, al llegar a la altura de la Puerta de Alcalá dispararon sobre la parte trasera del coche, matando a Dato en el acto.
El coche al día siguiente. El modelo era un Mormon 34 Limousine.

The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade
1963, a play by Peter Weiss
Act One, Scene 13,
MARAT’S LITURGY
MARAT:
Remember how it used to be
The kings were our dear fathers
Under whose care we lived in peace
And their deeds were glorified
By official poets
Piously the simpleminded breadwinners
Passed on this lesson to their children
CHORUS: [murmuring in the background as Marat continues]
The kings are our dear fathers
Under whose care we live in peace
The kings are our dear fathers
Under whose care we live in peace
MARAT:
And the children repeated the lesion they believed it
as anyone believes what they hear over and over again
And over and over again the priest said
Our love embraces all mankind
of every colour race and creed
Our love is international universal
we are brothers every one
And the priests looked down into the pit of injustice
and they turned their faces away and said
Our kingdom is not the kingdom of this world
Our life on earth is but a pilgrimage
The soul lives on humility and patience
at the same time screwing from the poor their last centime
They settled down among their treasures
and ate and drank with princes
and to the starving they said
Suffer
Suffer as he suffered on the cross
for it is the will of God
And anyone believes what they hear over and over again
so the poor instead of bread made do with a picture
of the bleeding and scourged and nailed-up Christ
and prayed to the image of their helplessness
And the priests said
Raise your hands to heaven bend your knees
and bear your suffering without complaint
Pray for those who torture you
for prayer and blessing are the only stairways
which you can climb to Paradise
And so they chained down the poor in their ignorance
so they wouldn’t stand up and fight their bosses
Who ruled in the name of the lie of divine right
AMEN
Largo di Torre Argentina is a square in Rome, Italy, that hosts four Republican Roman temples, and the remains of Pompey's Theatre. It is located in the ancient Campus Martius.
The name of the square comes from the Torre Argentina, whose Latin name was Argentoratum.
Julius Caesar was killed in the Curia of the Theatre of Pompey, and the spot he was believed to be assassinated is in the square.

Islom Hoja himself was an early-20th-century grand vizier and a liberal (by Khivan standards): he founded a European-style school, brought long-distance telegraph to the city and built a hospital. For his popularity, the khan and clergy had him assassinated.

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated today in Rawalpindi. What is the world coming to! I suppose this is ONE of the consequences of the so-called War on Terror and the West's propping up of the Musharraf dictatorship in this corner of South Asia. In the end this is not just about (filthy) politics, but about the loss of life. Sad!
Along with his father Martin Luther King, Sr., Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was co-pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church of Atlanta, Georgia from 1960 until his assassination in 1968.
When he wasn't preaching, he spoke for the rights of black men and women to vote, desegregation, civil, and labor rights in America. Those in favor of the anti-black Jim Crow status quo intensely disliked King. Moderates, although they might theoretically agree that all men should not be judged by the color of their skin, thought of King as a rabble-rouser, a troublemaker.
Pastor King famously advocated non-violence. Turn the other cheek.
