The tender loving secret of Olympe and Louis (XVI), Act I : "Zamor and Mirza"'s happy end !

by Jean-Jacques COURTEY, Doctor in Economic Geography, Ph. D
_________________________

Two years ago, we wrote already several times in French about Olympe de Gouges (1755-1793) and Louis XVI (1754-1793), to unveil historically their tender loving story, on this blog. But this time, we want to go further and give still more precise details in the form of a movie (or play) scenario.

Scene I : Olympe is arrested on stage at "La Comédie Française"

We are in september 1785 in Paris. Olympe, who is a theater actress, is ready to enter the stage of La Comédie Française for her controversial play against slavery : "Zamor and Mirza or the happy shipwreck".
It was already the scene VIII of Act I.
Olympe was playing  "Sophie", the natural daughter of the Governor de Frémont in a French dependency of India. There was the dialog with her Indian counterpart, the slave Zamor addressing her and Valere, her husband :
"- That's it, unhappy foreigners ! You have no hope anymore. A wave has engulfed the rest of crew with all your expectations.
Sophie :
- Alas, what are we going to become ?"

At this moment there was a funny metallic noise in the back of the stage, like swords, which disturbed the play.
Olympe turned back at the actor playing Valere who couldn't tell his tirade, and whispered  :
- I didn't write grenadiers and soldiers have to come now. They are only expected in Act III at the end of Scene 4.
But very quickly a real officer was on stage interrupting the play :
- The play is cancelled by order of the King. Get away everybody ! Out quickly !
And his men obliged the public to leave the theater swiftly.
Olympe was alone with those solid armed forces, and tried to complain :
- What's that ? I was assured by your master, the Baron de Breteuil that I was allowed to play tonight.
The "Minister of the house of the King and Paris" gave me his word.
The officer was laughing at her :
- He also told me I'll have a promotion as a commander...two years ago. But I'm still captain.
- You mean he is not trustworthee, is answering Olympe.
The officer took a sealed paper in his pocket :
- This is a "lettre de cachet" against you, Olympe de Gouges ! The Baron de Breteuil gave it to me. And my order is to put you under arrest for trouble against the public order, and lead you to "La Bastille". Don't add sedition to the charges !
Olympe was sweating a lot and she became terribly white :
- La Bastille ?! La Bastille ?!
But some people never get out of it. I don't want to die completely forgotten overthere.
The Officer becoming harder answered :
- You follow me immediately. I have a galant rendez-vous after, and this carry-on has to be finished quickly.

Scene II : In La Bastille with the Governor

Olympe doesn't know it but she will stay in La Bastille only for a few days, because of the happy meeting of...its Governor, the Marquis de Launay. Her ordinary is not bad actually, and the governor has come to see her in person.
He is quite a gentleman, and is asking her :
- If you need something in particular Madam, I can be helpful to you.
Olympe :
- Yes, I want my freedom back !
The Governor :
- You know very well it's not depending on me, my dear. I was talking about your daily conveniences of course. Do you need a maid for instance ?
Olympe :
- I didn't know I could have one in this jail...well in those "fortified apartments" as I discovered them. But Yes, that will give me a company.

The Governor intends to get out of her room, but he suddenly turns back to her. Something is puzzling him about the so-called order of the King. He doesn't want to commit the mistake of 1778 with him.

Olympe :
- Have you forgotten something Governor ?
The Governor De Launay :
- Well, it's strange you are here by order of the King because of your play against slavery.
Olympe :
- Why that ?
De Launay :
- Recently I was in the Court of Versailles, and I heard clearly our good King who suppressed torture, six years ago already, condemning slavery as something non-Christian. So I doubt it's him who decided to send you here.
Olympe :
- Really !
De Launay :
- Madam, I can't promise you anything, but I'll try something to help you. Since D'Artagnan, the famous gascon musketteer, we have got two ways to get in touch with the King, either the Minister in charge of Police (but that's Breteuil), or a messenger we can send exceptionally to the "black" cabinet of Versailles.
Olympe :
- I see, so you want to get in touch directly and discretely with the King through his secret cabinet.
De Launay :
- Yes, I'll send my messenger tomorrow. So have a good night Madam !

Scene III : In  the "black cabinet" of  the King in Versailles

The messenger :
- I have got a special message for your Majesty. My master, the Governor of La Bastille is reporting you he is looking after the new prisoner.
The King, surprised :
- Which prisoner ?!
The messenger :
- The foolish actress known under the name of Olympe de Gouges who made a play criticizing slavery and hurting overseas colonists.
The King :
- What ! I never gave such an order. And she is not a fool to me to condemn slavery. It's a plague of mankind since so long. I can see the bad intervention of Breteuil in this, again! I am the King of France and he is just a "parvenu" in the good graces of my wife. Who does he thinks he is ?
The messenger :
- Which answer should I give to the Marquis De Launay then your Majesty ?
The King :
- I am writing the order cancelling the "lettre de cachet" used by the Minister of my House and Paris. So, your master has to free her immediately when you will give it to him.
The messenger :
- At your orders, your good Majesty !
The King :
- If Breteuil attemps again to send her back to La Bastille, he must ignore the order and report to me, as I wrote in this royal letter.


Scene IV : In La Bastille again

The messenger to the Governor :
- Mylord, the King gave me this letter cancelling the "lettre de cachet" against "Madame Olympe de Gouges".
He said she has to be freed immediately, and not to listen anymore the Baron de Breteuil about her.
The Governor :
- Well, well, well ! It would have been a very short stay then.
I am going to announce the good news to her. Prepare my horse drawn coach for her to go where she will ask you in Paris, Pierre.

De Launay is going to the the apartments of Olympe. She is with her new maid, Mary. They are talking joyfully about dressing and curling hair.
- Madam, I am sorry for this intrusion, but I have an urgent message for you. You have to leave La Bastille by order of the King.
Olympe :
- I don't want to go to the Chatelet jail, it's awful overthere.
The Governor :
- Certainly not, Madam ! You are free and my coach is ready for you to give you a lift anywhere you like in Paris.
Olympe :
- Wow ! Long live to our gracious King Louis XVI ! He is really a very fair sovereign.
May I ask you something, Mister Governor, if it's not abusing your efficient goodness with my person ?
De Launay :
- What else can I do for you dear Madam I'm starting to miss already ?
Olympe :
- First close your eyes, and let me do.

He is closing the eyes and she gives him a kiss on the cheek as a reward for his help. The Governor is quite pleased and listen to what she wants to ask him.

Olympe :
- I'd like to meet the King to give him my regards for the consideration he granted onto me, Marquis. Do you think it's possible your messenger would ask him such a meeting ?
De Launay :
- I don't know but we'll try. After all the King defended your personality in front of him if I understood what he reported to me. In that case, I'll send him to the "black cabinet" of Versailles tomorrow again. Let's meet by two days at midday in the garden of Palais Royal. I shall tell you the answer I received.

Scene V : In the garden of Palais Royal near La Comédie Française

Olympe is waiting for the Governor De Launay. She is thinking of La Bastille she just left. She was amazed to discover it was a luxury jail for just a few nobles or clergymen. Arrested under the name of the King of France and being freed quickly by order of the same King : what a strange happening ! It could make a good subject for a play.
The Governor de Launay arrived at midday as promised. He was smiling when he kissed her hand.
- I have a very good news for your Madam. The King Louis XVI is accepting to give you an interview the day after tomorrow, in his "black cabinet" of Versailles for discretion.
Olympe :
- Oh, you are great, Mister De Launay, really great. I am pleased there are still gentlemen like you in Paris.
The Governor :
- Thank you, Madam. It's so rare for me to meet a clever woman of your quality, and so beautiful and spontaneous above that. I'm really going to miss you a lot when I'll be back in my fortress alone.
I'll be sad not having to see your pretty face anymore, but in another way I'll be equalilly happy for you.
Olympe :
- You are a good hearted man, Mister De Launay, and I'm sure your wife realized she is rich of that.
The Governor :
- And you, you are really a passionate woman of the South West of France, Madam.
Be here at 7 in the morning by two days, and my coach will take you to the King in Versailles !


Olympe as a good woman of Gascony couldnt help giving him again a kiss on the cheeks, before parting. And De Launay was quite proud of it.

Scene VI : the sweet meeting of the King


The meeting of Olympe and the King in this secret room, called "the black cabinet" in Versailles, was not really ordinary. She kneeled in from of him and kissed his right hand ring.

The King :
- Stand up, Madam ! I'm pleased you are free by now. I warned Breteuil not to abuse of "lettres de cachet".
Olympe :
- You are far taller and far more impressive than what I thought, your Majesty. It's so surprising !
The King :
- You shouldn't trust caricatures. You for instance, you are not either the fool playwright Breteuil and even some people at "La Comédie Française" are describing, with an obvious jealousy and malevolence.
Olympe :
- I didn't know the King of France himself was interested in my writings, your Majesty.
It's quite a nice shocking revelation for me that you believe in my talent, especially about slavery.
The King :
- I am thinking about abolishing slavery in the French overseas empire, but the party of colonists is very strong and influent at the court, not to mention the one of Breteuil. So I have to choose the right timing for my announcement, because the last one cancelling "the question" (i.e. torture) in 1779, was a cause of terrible criticisms, and bad reactions from the Parliament of Paris.
Olympe :
- I realize now it's a difficult task to be King. You must feel lonely sometimes, your Majesty ?
Louis :
- Oh yes. And I have the feeling nobody really cares about me.
Olympe :
- We could be friends, if it's not too impolite to suggest you, your Majesty ?
Louis :
- I'd like to have a real friend in my life, but it could be only here, Madam, in my "black cabinet."
Olympe :
- Well, I don't mind as long as you accept my presence, Majesty...Louis !

When she left him, her eyes were sparkling and he saw it. He started to be amazed and more and more interested in this beautiful woman.

She kneeled again and kissed his right hand ring, but when he helped her to stand up, she took the risk to suddenly give him a tender kiss on the ckeeks...and on the lips ! Louis went red.

Olympe :
- I have to admit I am already in love with you, your Majesty. What you did for me, your actions for the kingdom and your character also are so chivalresque ! You are the way I'm seeing a fair and noble King...and ideal man !
Louis XVI, who was for the first time in his life such a situation :
- Do not worry, Madam, I am not angry after you because you kissed me lovingly and by surprise.
You are the first woman to behave so spontaneously with me. And it's terribly new and so refreshing also.

They were nicely smiling at each other, and Louis added :
- Farewell to you, Madam. Normally I wouldn't say so, but keep your natural. It's unusual for me but quite agreable actually. I discovered today a rare new flavor in my heavy life of King. May be we will see each other again here, Olympe !...

Just a new glance from Zeus : Athena is coming at his vanguard with Alexander !

by Jean-Jacques COURTEY, Doctor in Economic Geography, Ph.D
__________________________

For so long centuries now Zeus (Jupiter) had disappeared from the mind of human beings, and unhappily from Greeks - or Romans'one. His temples are at ruin and his religion almost totally disappeared.
Zeus (Jupiter) was sharing his time in between the Olympus mount and the Hesperids' garden (the Greek equivalent of the garden of Eden in an opposite view, without original sin).
He was invisibly present in Olympia (Peloponnese, Greece) on last thursday when vestals took the flame for the next Olympic Games in London (UK) by july 27th till august 12th 2012.
But something unexpected happened this very time : one of the pretty vestal couldn't help crying at the sad destiny of Greece. And she even invocated him in an approximative Hesiodic way.
It echoed in his mind the very old hymn to Zeus written by the stoician Cleanthes from the Pontic Area (ca. 300 - 220 BC) :
" O God most glorious, called by many a name, nature's great king, through endless years the same ;
omnipotence who by your just decree controls all, hail, Zeus, for unto you Must your creatures in all lands call..."

The young woman was in tears and she dropped without realizing one on his right foot, reviving suddenly his old body.
It moved him very much, and erased over immediately the mixed feeling he had about human beings, made of love and bitterness.
It's the kind of sign he was just waiting to do something to help. For the first time, he doesn't feel anymore rejected and abandoned by a human creature, and that's something. So then, he has decided to send his cherished daughter Athena, foundress and protectress of Athens at his vanguard. She is in the company of  the soul of "his son" Alexander the Great (356 - 323 BC), who once said he wanted to revive on Earth.
A famous dialog quoted by Lucan with his pilot on Indus river, Onesicritus, is recalling his strong wish for the newly coming time.

Again events are accelerating dramatically under Fortuna's fatum strange guidance.
The situation of Greece is quite newly intertwinned with the destiny of the US top bank JP Morgan Chase, which invented the controversial CDS (Credit Default Swaps) in 1994, and announced on last thursday fatefully a minimum loss of 2 billion dollars by a new gambler French trader (nicknamed "the whale") at his London branch. The latter played an hazardous game on the CDS derived market and lost. This is provoking upheavals on Wall Street and world stock exchanges like Tokyo and Paris.
JP Morgan Chase (JP Morgan + the ex-Chase Manhattan Bank of Rockfeller) are summarizing by themselves the Fed birth and history, from the secret agreement of Jekyll island (1910) and its following official creation in 1913... till now, one century after.
It seems anew human beings destiny is in the hands of the three Moirai or "Aportioners" (Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos) of the Hesperids' garden with its golden apples.

Athena (Minerva) is certainly the most mysterious Goddess of the Greek-Roman mythology.
The way she was born near lake Tritonis - most probably the one located in Libya - was unusual. Called "Tritogeneia" (born of Trito, geographically), her mere existence was alike. This African lake is also connected to the Libyan Amazons' history and Myrina their queen who conquered the mythical Atlantis, and finally gave it back its freedom.
Exclusive Defendress of Men, Athena was the most masculine of Virgins : she liked to be amongst them, and Ulysses is famous to have been under her strong protection...against women like Medea or Calypso.
Daughter of Zeus (Jupiter) and Metis (Intelligence), she got out of the head of her father literally, after the intervention of God Hephaistos (Vulcan) to open it. As a matter of fact Zeus had swallowed Metis in order to prevent a bad prophecy involving the end of his reign.

Athena (Minerva) was the beautiful but sensitive Goddess of Wiseness and Reason... and somewhat War.
Everybody knows the result of prince Paris' bad choice for beauty contest, between her and Aphrodite (Venus) in the bursting out of the Trojan War (XIIIIth century BC).
Zeus (Jupiter) was proud and fond of her. And sometimes, he was lending her his own weapons like Thunder and Flash. She wore an helmet, carried the Aegis on her breast, and bore on this goat-skin armor coming from Amalthea the horrible Gorgon face of Medusa. So then she was able to petrify enemies, while sheltering the snake of wiseness.
She is famous for having presided at the foundation of the city of Athens (derived from her name), after a contest with the God of Sea, Poseidon (Neptun), by choosing the winning symbol of olive tree in front of white horse.





In this Greek-Roman mythological variation, we intend to show alternative ways to take on account  and interprete fateful actual events.
The present era  we are still living in, was introduced effectively by Alexander the Great who expanded to the whole world the Greek historicity through his still marking conquests.

The new glance of Zeus, the intervention of Athena and the symbolic resurrection of Alexander the Great's soul - as himself deeply wished according to Lucan -, are opening a new era. If Greece was at the origin of the previous one, it seems it will announce also the new Western/Asian era on an original fashion.


"I begin to sing of Pallas Athene, the glorious goddess bright-eyed, inventive, unbending of heart, pure virgin, savior of cities, courageous, Tritogeneia. From his awful head wise Zeus himself bore her arrayed in warlike arms of flashing gold, and awe seized all the gods as they gazed. But Athena sprang quickly from the immortal head, and stood before Zeus who holds the aegis, shaking a sharp spear..." [Homeric hymn to Athena, VIIIth century BC]

Really saving Yuliya Tymoshenko III : from dark Ukraine to Fatima's most secrets accomplishment...and Svarog !

by Jean-Jacques COURTEY, Doctor in Economic Geography, Ph. D

__________________________

Everybody, including the Ukrainian Orthodox clergy seems to forget we are this very year in 2012, and not another year.
The main question which separated Catholics from Orthodox through the Great Schism of 1054 will certainly be resolved : the conception of Trinity the latters didn't accept, by considering that the Holy Spirit can only proceed from the Father and not from the Son, will be challenged by God and his Son themselves. A divine demonstration seems necessary to fully understand things. And presently, the Ukrainian Church should play an active role for the defence of political prisoners, who are strangely from Yuliya Tymoshenko's party "Bat'kivshchyna" (the All-Ukrainian Union "Fatherland"). As a matter of fact her party is representing a real threat for the "party of Regions" of Viktor Ianoukovych (born in 1950) in power at the moment, for the next legislative elections of October 28th 2012. On last May 3rd, World Press Freedom Day, Ukraine has even rose the first rank of countries not respecting it.
About Yuliya Tymoshenko's sake and freedom for instance -, do people playing a double game like politicians or others, really think if Jesus is opposing them to get any redemption from his father, they can get it ? Certainly not !
This country has got the peculiarity not to be fully converted to Jesus Christ at the difference of Russia, which it was the craddle. Because Jesus seems rather refused overthere, he might also refuse as Great Judge any salvation to the people concerned. That's quite clear.

"Penitence, penitence, penitence !" Those words were the motto of Fatima's third secret given by Maria the Virgin, during her repeated and spectacular appearances in 1917 (Coimbra area, Portugal, from May 13th).
This last secret had to be released to the public not before 1960.
Because it was done by Vatican far after, on May 13th 2000 in this very place of Fatima, human beings blindly intend to think everything is over. Certainly not ! A digest is just a digest, and nothing more.
The identity of the "bishop suited in white...killed by a group of soldiers...with a firearm and arrows",  with John Paul II's attempt of assassination by the Turk Mehmet Ali Agça (Roma, May 13th 1981), doesn't really match the prophecy.
If Maria, mother of Jesus, wanted her full message to be transmitted to the world, it has to be so.
And a message for the future is not a message of the past !
Being too down-to-earth in religion, especially when this very religion is based on miracles, is a non-sense which can lead to misunderstanding if not apostasy, as reproached by Maria herself in her last warning message.
She wanted All Russia (in fact Russias, including Ukraine of course), to be consecrated to her immaculated heart to avoid divine evils to fall on Earth : this is not done.

But in her great benevolence, she can admit it's done very quickly, like other kind things. So the choice is still outstanding for a quite narrow window of time.
People musn't joke too much with God, because he is giving signs of tiredness and impatience about them : he can cancel any time any possibility of so-called "reincarnation", or even any promise of resurrection for instance. They always intend to think God is existing only because they believe in him, but never about the real point : they are continuing with their world to exist because God is believing in them, and only for that reason ! People should read carefully what St Maria said about nations' future in Fatima. But we will let them discover it by themselves.
So Ukraine (but not only it) has obviously to get out of darkness to access the light. It means clearly it has itself to save and free its ex-Prime Minister Yuliya Tymoshenko (born in 1960), before too late. This dangerous and hazardous carry on is enough now.
Mistreating a weak woman in jail (or hospital) for a dark question of political rivalry and revenge, is coward and inglorious. And nobody can just play either to be "Pontius Pilatus". History will remember.
If a fair and humanitarian gesture was made utimately, Ukraine destiny shouldn't be to become "the North Korea" of Central Europe, boycotted for the next Euro Soccer Championship or finally banned economically by America and European Union, in spite of its gas pipelines.






Too often in "Christianity", Jesus and his mother Maria the Virgin are considered as brought back patches.
In their names a lot of things are said and proclaimed which result is to assert the power of very down-to-earth institutions, frightened by mysticism. And "poor them", they have to stay like stuck images on paper, nothing more. Because in truth not many people are really expecting Jesus to come back as he announced himself, and secretly a lot of people hope he wouldn't do it. They really worry it could be true after all !


So we are accustomed from our childhood to hear that for instance St Paul, St Mark, or also St Philip for the Orthodox, said so and so in their epistles.
St John is far less quoted as he warned mankind just like Jesus. And people are quite afraid of his message called "Apocalypse" (Revelation). They are certainly right to be, because it is all about the wrath of God and his Son not to be followed and neither understood. St John was even making a clear reference to the Gaseous Star Chernobyl (8:10-11), as translation of Absynth or Wormwood in the Ukrainian version - and everybody knows the Ukrainian place of the same name. So Yuliya Tymoshenko's fateful protest by hunger strike from last April 20th, about being beaten in her Kharkov detention has to be heard, and her freedom being given back swiftly.



This carry on of deaf and blind "followers" is Over by now. In the New Testament, the question has never really been ultimately "sin" or "not sin" like in the Old one, but sincerity of the heart, love, fairness or equity, generosity, and useful forgiving. And patronizing with pettiness towards God or his Son, might provoke a terrific boomerang effect this very year. If a lot of people will have to go to Hell which awful description is given by St Maria to the three little shepards (Francisco, Jacinta and Lucia) in the first Fatima's well known secret, it will be because they can't understand that or they refuse to accept it. She was not joking actually. 
Let's give a quick overview of it to help people realizing : "...Our Dame showed us a great sea of fire, which looked to be underground and, plunged in this fire, demons and souls, as if they were transparent, black or tanned embers, with a human shape..."

This leads us to talk about what the Slavs are really worried of, from the eve of time : not the four headed God Sventovit actually, but the frightening ancient God Svarog above all. The name of the latter one is so terrible that it was never pronounced openly usually, except in case of extreme emergency as a ultimate invocation.
But this is one, and the fixed stars are going to be correctly aligned very soon, after so many millenium. Svarog (also called Svarizic) was justly the God of Fire, the Flash Creator and Master of the World. As a "watcher of time", he was the supreme God of all the Slavs before Christianity was established... in Kiev fatefully !

Green sky over the world V : Moscow's surprise !

by Jean-Jacques COURTEY, Doctor in Economic Geography, Ph. D
_______________________

This editorial is a following of our saga "Ciel vert sur le monde" ("Green sky over the world") initiated on july 2nd 2009, in an article about economic, historical, and other changes - in Russia and France notably, and the world more widely -, for the blog of the French Newspaper "Le Monde" : "Green sky over the world : the unutterable Viking power ". It was followed by three other articles on our blog involving climatic change before (and after) the world summit of Copenhagen (Denmark) on the Climate change - from december 6th to 18th 2009. The two latter ones were also intricating our Cosmos view, and lead us to launch the concept of "Cosmo-geography".
And the present article is about a strange green cloud covering over suddenly Moscow area by surprise, without a definitive explanation.
As a matter of fact, when people awakened on last Thursday (Thor's day), the sky of the Russian capital was totally green, in the proper and not figurative meaning. And it may stay smoggy this way for about one month according to the Laboratory for Biology of Plants (Moscow State University). The population of Moscow doesn't believe really the story of pollen "spring wide spread" given by authorities, but no other clear reason is presently available.

The most down-to-earth think about an industrial explosion of a chemical plant which the power would hide. But authorities totally deny this, and it may be very true in the present occuring.
Then the most frightened ones rather wander if they are not under an hidden extra-terrestrial invasion, like in an Hollywood movie. They still remember the strange UFO (NLO in Russian), in the shape of a "flying pyramid" staying above the Kremlin for several hours in december 2009. Almost simultaneously there was the curious set of a blue-green Vortex in the sky of Norway (night of december 9th 2009). But both have never been explained officially either.
Yet, personally, we don't believe this green sky is connected at all to ETs : if they were discretely on Earth say from a long time, themselves would wander what Earthians have still done to provoke that ?!

Again, there could be other additional explanations, from clathrates sudden emissions (but nobody mentioned methane gas, even by smell of rotten eggs), to simpler ones involving the asteroid "2012 DA 14". 
First, a very very tiny piece may have detached from it to fall on Earth in Russia : this asteroid, discovered only one week after it could have hit Earth, is presently circling around Earth as a new very small moon since last february 16th. And it has to avoid narrowly (or hit ?) Earth next february 15-16th (2013).
Its size should actually be twice as much the one which damaged Toungouska area in Siberia (Russia), on june 30th 1908 early morning.
Second, the green colour may have been the one chosen finally to paint "2012 DA 14" by the NASA Rescue Team, before it's passing by Earth next february. It would mean then that NASA doesn't want to take any risk, and try to deviate its trajectory in connection with the sun reflection, even it officially denies a possibility of Earth collision. Nothing was said for its coming back then in 2014...as "2012 DA 14" seems to have become an additional Earth unwanted satellite.
But of course, it is just an added hypothesis as nobody knows exactly if the Rescue Team is already operating above Earth.




In conclusion, we would think about a mix between the pollen hypothesis brought by wind, as it's spring and new trees have been planted in Moscow area in the previous years, and the side-effect of painting falling from the sky because of unsaid and discrete Earth Rescue operations. As a matter of fact pollen is more yellowish or orange than green normally.

Allergy alone is unsufficient to explain why most people are affected by some difficulty to breathe normally. People allergic to pollen are between 10 to 30% of the adult population (40% for children), and the rest doesn't usually pay attention to it. But everybody is potentially sensitive to the chemical contents of painting...could it be green and possibly detached  from an "Earhly modified asteroid" !

"Fantastic realism" is probably a key to explain what is happening in Moscow with this scaring green sky : it's not so irrelevant.
Nonetheless, in this matter things are not probably so difficult to understand, if we try simultaneously two hypothesis : one is down-to-earth, and the second would become by simply falling or being projected from the sky !

Without referring to the green mysterious clouds of Mayas for 2012, it may be time for Earthians, and especially cartesians (so numerous in France for the post-mortem spite of Descartes - 1596 - 1650) to open the eyes wide : they musn't turn the face the opposite side of Cosmos by backwardness and ackwardness. 2012 is especially made for that, even in this occurence the associated God is Thor. And they have to integrate what they refused, or else it's them who will be refused this very time !

The extraordinary beliefs of Alexander the Great (356 - 323 BC) : a tremendous influence over the world still !

by Jean-Jacques COURTEY, Doctor in Economic Geography, Ph. D
__________________________

Alexander the Great wasn't influenced only by Aristotle (384 - 322 BC), his dangerous preceptor who finally gave the poison which killed him (white hellebore) to Cassander, son of General Antipater : this one was sent back by his father, Regent of Macedonia, to Alexander as his messenger and brought the poison from Macedonia to Babylon - present Irak -, the "World Empire capital". It was then administered in pure wine by his younger brother Iolas, cupbearer of Alexander. And everybody knows his sad end an agony which lasted on more than eight days. There is even a story telling Alexander wasn't yet dead on june 10th 323 Before Christ (he fell in coma), and that's why a part of historians have chosen the date of june 13th for his real death.


Above all, Alexander was admiring Homer, the blind and supra-sensitive poet (ca. IXth or VIIIth century BC). When he conquered the known world and even more, an exemplary of Iliad and Odyssey was always remaining in his royal tent. He had a personal attraction for the hero Achilles, who actually was considered as one of his direct ancestors by blood.
And it was impossible for him not to think about him during his victorious incredible battles. But it doesn't mean he ignored and disregarded the crafty Ulysses in his still not fully understood strategy of the sickle and hammer.


As an initiate of Greek Mysteries, he was also totally integrating the principles of Pythagoras (ca. 580 - ca. 497 or  494 BC). And he knew intimately the ultimate secret words : "Konx Ompax". Pythagoras, initially an athlet before a "mathematician", made a huge difference between the common Mortal, the four degrees of initiates (applicant, neophyt, "acousmatician" or auditor, and mathematician), and above them the Hero like Achilles, and the Demigod. And for the followers of his philosophy (more a kind of brotherhood, and religion still discretly practised in reality), it was considered totally possible to reach the state of Demigod and becoming Immortal.

Himself called "son of Zeus" (Jupiter), the supreme God of Greeks - and later Romans too -, Alexander was totally fitting those beliefs. He never knew if he was really or wholly a son of Philip II of Macedonia (382 - 336 BC), because this one was partly rejecting him this way when he was angry. So he was part of those beliefs, or even they were part of himself. We may think this is over nowadays. But that's not true at all in fact. Him who created Occident, has still a tremendous influence on our soul and mind, and on the way we create history (historicity), in the Extreme-East included even as "protector of Xian" and the silk manufacturers.

When we admire for instance a famous champion, a charismatic leader, or a movie star, or again a terrific singer, we intend naturally to deify this person. He or she is becoming almost automatically an idol for people, would they be a few or a million, or even more than a billion. And the meaning is not only figurative, but quite proper actually. That's why a lot of people need to know more about their idol though medias or internet - even simple anecdotes which make them nearer -, to initiate a self-identification, by a kind of navigation to the esteem. Hysterical scenes surrounding those famous characters and uncontrollable fans behaviour are the best modern testimonies that Alexander's beliefs are still alive !




Alexander wanted to come back from death by resurrection to the world as it has become, to see how he was accepted and understood then.
He said it himself when he was navigating the Indus river with his pilot, Onesicritus :
"I'd like Onesicritus coming back to life for a short period after my death to see how human beings are reading present events. If they praise or accept them now, don't be surprised because anybody thinks that a fine method to attract my benevolence." [in Lucian]

This means clearly he already knew that his influence over the world was and would be exceptionnaly lasting. He was reading in a way the future, even people ignore he had also this unusual talent.
And it's obvious he was sincerely seeing himself in between a man and a God, like in Pythagoras religion. Above that, Pythagoras himself was teaching that his followers must first respect the Gods, and Zeus, "father" of Alexander the Great, was the top one in the whole family !

The Mysteries of Eleusis held in the honour of Demeter (Ceres), sister of Zeus (Jupiter), were - and are still - a transposition of Vegetal Immortality to Human Life.
It is well known that Alexander himself, the high initiate, admired a lot vegetal reign he was questioning a lot about. He was giving to plants a kind a soul, a proper intelligence and even a delicate sensitivity, in a certain opposition with the teachings of Aristotle.
Demeter (which can be translated by "Mother-Earth") was symbolizing fertility and abundance of Earth. She is still known in France without realizing it as "La semeuse" ("the sower"), and an early Christian square is recalling her hymn under an obscure allusion to "sowings" - till now : "Sator arepo tenet opera rotas !"

From the Organization of American States to...France : poverty's challenge !

by Jean-Jacques COURTEY, Doctor in Economic Geography, Ph. D
_______________________

Tomorrow is opening for two days the VIth summit of the OAS (Organization of American States) in Cartagena (Colombia), under the lead of Barack Obama (born in 1961), president of the USA. The chart of this regional organization is dating from 1948. It has got 34 members from North to South America, but 30 countries are expected to be actually represented : Cuba wouldn't come and neither Venezuela, nor Ecuador or Nicaragua most likely.
The present General Secretary of this organization is the Chilean José Miguel Insulza (born in 1943).
The summit purpose will be to enforce new measures to stimulate integration in all the continent, for an expanded prosperity in the whole hemisphere. It is very ambitious and it can !
As a matter of fact the central theme is "Connecting the Americas : partners for prosperity".
The USA target is clearly to stimulate economic and social change in Latin America, as this area of the world is absorbing already 40% of their exports. Politically and economically, it would imply a rarely seen move to try eradicating extreme poverty. It is suggesting an important effort to actually lift the level of the millions people concerned by this everyday life drama of being poor.
In that way, access to consumption is considered as a key for this accelerated development policy.
A recurrent question will certainly be the full readmission of Cuba in the OAS, asked by Latino-American members to get the whole American family reunited, after the so far year 1962 .
Another topic would be the US continuing policy of struggle against drug cartels.
This summit will be quickly followed by the General Assembly of the OAS to be held next june (3-5) in Cochabamba - Bolivia.

In the USA, the poverty rate rose in 2010 to 15.1% of the population - because of the financial crisis of 2008 -, from 12.8% in the 1990s.
In Latin America, poverty was affecting around 31.4 % of the population in 2010 (it was 48.4 % in 1990). And the extreme poverty rate dropped spectacularly by half in those last twenty years from 22.6 to 12.3 %.
But if you consider France in Europe, you realize that the present figure of a bit more than 17% is quite astonishing and striking for a so developped country.
Indeed, with already more than 11 million poor people, France is taking the lead in Western Europe, in spite of complicated statistics not following the same basis as Eurostat and the use of alternative definitions of poverty. It's already 3 million more than in 2007, but the trend was already bad in the nineties. And it's a record it shouldn't be proud of, as its economy is at the moment healthier than the ones of Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Malta, or the newly unsettled Hungary.
At the time of the French Revolution, officially made against the King Louis XVI (1754-1793) for the people's sake - but officiously launched for more greedy reasons by an anti-royal part of Nobles and the Clergy more than "bourgeoisie" of the Third Estate -, the percentage of poor people was between 13 to 15%. This was connected to the severe agricultural crisis of 1787-1789 and the ruineous consequences of the War of America (1776-1783). And in Paris the poverty rate was even higher (around 20%) : so a lot of people were disponible for agitation, in front of privileged people refusing to make the tax effort the King wanted them to do to save the country's finances.
And presently, a massive and accelerated pauperisation (impoverishment) is France hidden shame and worry again. It cannot certainly be solved by blaming the weak. And even in the hectic time of the French Revolution, only the strong were blamed at least.

When the French King was sincerely saying he was concerned by his peoples (note the plural), he was talking in the name of France and its still big empire. Because at that time, with the huge Louisiana possession from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico (sold by Napoleon in 1803 to the USA for 15 million dollars all together with New orleans) for instance, around one third of the present USA were French.
By comparison, modern France has shrinked a lot since, but not its structural problems.
If we don't doubt much the OAS can eradicate progressively a part of Americas' poverty by the troubled years to come, we are far less convinced for France. Catchwords or counter-productive measures might be launched, but that's could be all.
From the Revolution time, we French people are "fed" with beautiful (and unhappily empty) words more than good food and joy. It's time to wake up !
Modern France has accustomed too much to the unacceptable decay of its Social Security and welfare protective system, introduced in 1945 by the great General de Gaulle (1890-1970). Abroad, French tourists are recognized to their bad teeth if not bad eyes, and everybody chuckles at them.
And this decay didn't start at all with the recent Debt crisis, but far before for more ideological reasons, entertaining poverty and excessive health costs : this is depriving a growing part of the population of the most elementary protection and care in reality.
Is it still time to open the eyes and change before a quick France's collapse...for the sake of people whatever they are poor or rich ? The situation is ambiguous, and generous compromises will be necessary.




Everything depends on which ambitions are pursued : for the OAS, they are clearly to create and distribute wealth in the direction of the lowest classes of the American hemisphere...for the sake of a refound and needed expansion. And this American idea is becoming paradoxically "social". The summit motto could be "a bit of talk and immediate action !"

In France at the opposite, the motto would rather be "a lot of talks and inaction...or absurd and useless stigmatization" ! It shouldn't follow an ultra-liberal blind trend to be proficient.
The present financial crisis, whatever the name you give it ("Euro crisis" or "Debt crisis", or both before the Big one), is also a good opportunity to rethink our future for the best...and not for the worse. America was at least able to retain the lessons of the 2008 financial crisis.

We, people of France, will vote to elect our new president on next april 22nd and may 6th.
But after that, it will be the winner to lead us with courage, skill, and responsability towards our new common destiny.
Capitalism is able to change the face in the Americas, so why not in France ?
Then, let's say in advance to the happily elected one, we don't need great words but really powerful, efficient and generous actions !

"Katun Cauac" V (december 21st 2012) : from the end of Venus religion to new orbits, and Pangea recall !

by Jean-Jacques COURTEY, Doctor in Economic Geography, Ph. D
_______________________

Let's recall first for our saga, "Katun Cauac" means "the time of tempest (s)" in the language of Mayas. But till nowadays we don't understand why they made a distinction between four types of tempests, by giving them a different colour : white, red, black, or green (pale), a bit like the four knights of Apocalypse.
We can just understand it covers various realities, and not nice ones for Earth.
Everything has to start officially on next december 21st according to their calculations, or december 23rd if following modern recalculations. But the first real day of this "new zero era" is in fact december 22nd with Kukulkan's coming back. Paradoxically, it would mark the end of Venus religion and the start of the Pleiades' one.
It's certainly difficult to admit the return of this supreme God, also called Quetzalcoatl ("the feathered snake") around those dates, especially we are Westerners and not Mayas.
Yet, the religion of Venus exists also in Western countries under a different name, but it's very cleverly hidden behind old symbols, so visible in everyday life you don't even notice at them. Hence, it depends on the advancement of people to catch them or not. So then, just a few people happened to realize what they actually believed in, making funny various mixtures and confusions with Christianity. But not many people are even certain they know precisely what they really believe, in our masked Occident, including with the funny ideology of laicity : it became paradoxically a kind of "supra-religion" for atheists ! Everybody just follow the movement. And this can apply also elsewhere on Earth, of course.

Astronomically, the real question is about Earth orbital curse in connection with its sister Venus.
The problem is everything has already changed on last february 16th, with the coming of a strange asteroid called a week later "2012 DA 14" by Granada Observatory (Spain). It didn't hit Earth, neither blast on it, but it narrowly avoided the blue planet in a total ignorance of Earthians. Yet, it didn't go away at all, as it curiously remains circling over our heads.
As a matter of fact, it stays presently in the attraction of Earth, constantly sticking to it with an elliptical orbit at a quite high speed...till it crosses it - and miss it (?) - again officially on february 15th 2013. It may be a small part of rock detached from Mercury, ready for "a big kiss"!
In fact, it's circling around Earth in around 22 hours : astonishingly, this length of time was the one of Earthian day about 400 millions years ago.
Indeed, the asteroid "2012 DA 14" became a very tiny moon of Earth beside the far bigger Moon, temporarily at least.
A few specialists realized in this new interconnection, that the orbit of Earth may be slightly affected itself (it could even be the main purpose). And strangely a modification of Earth's orbit in the space was taken on account by the Mayas with the advent of "Katun Cauac".

This leads us to talk about another problem, the eventuality of Earth's continents' dislocation - and relocation -, equalilly in connection with Maya calculations.
This would imply a huge subduction of continents, and a terrific move of tectonic plates.
Let's remember what happened on december 26th 2004 from Sumatra (Indonesia) to Thailand and Sri Lanka : it was so powerful that it modified the axis of Earth rotation, even if specialists considered almost immediatly it may just have been slight... by intuition, more than calculations.
It echoed the equinox precession (slow change of Earth's axis direction) which occurs every 25 800 years, and was known by Hipparcos (IInd century BC).
When the German astronomer and climatologist Alfred Wegener (1880-1930) initiated his "theory of continental drift" in 1912 - initially called "continental translation" -, everybody laughed at him. And yet fifty years after, this specialist of Greenland (Denmark) became officially admitted.
According to him at the very beginning there was only one huge continent he called "Pangea", surrounded by a unique super-sea named "superthalassa". But through telluric and cosmic events it parted in several smaller continents 200 million years ago. But most parts are still connected above the seas and also below the seas, and attached through a main point, a kind of focal point for the whole Earth. For instance the Alps chain is connected to Asia.
This main point is considered nowadays to be situated in France, in the tiny beautiful village of La Baume-Cornillane (Drôme), which population is a bit rising since 1999 : it is appearing as a new Earth navel after Delphi (Greece) or Cuzco (Peru), even if most people ignore it except in Valence.




On next winter solstice, Earth has to be aligned with the Sun. It happens at this date every year, so most people consider this as a non-event. Nonetheless, what is more unique this year is an alignment including the Pleiades, as this far more rarely happens simultaneously in the galaxy.
And only two days after (december 23rd 2012), another alignment will happen between Earth, Venus and Jupiter - twinning the one of Earth, Mercury and Jupiter on december 17th -, which is sufficient to catch NASA attention.

There may be beautiful and dangerous cosmic phenomenons to watch and participate nilling willing. Nevertheless, at the difference of the Ancient ones most scientists don't attribute any power on Earth to the cosmic forces in game around those very days. Earth is considered as a "solid fortress" in the space, and absolutely nothing can influence it, according to their cartesian mind. Why should it ?

Obviously nobody knows exactly what happened to Earth a so long time ago when the same thing occurred, but there are some remains, traces and artefacts showing it wasn't much neutral. Actually, it seems it was rather shaky even. But we are not prehistoric men and women, so flegmatism should be sufficient to face the problem normally, shouldn't it ? !
