La Familia disperses leftwing protest against police brutality while police looks on passively

Every evening the country's leftists protest in the Balfour street. Netaniyahu happens to have his official residence there. At the beginning it was against corruption and with the days it became a classic George Floyd "We cannot breath" pseudo-American riot. Last night the fans of the Beitar Jerusalem - called La Familia - arrived and dispersed the Antifa leftists. The Israeli police, accused of killer brutality, looked on with brutal impassibility. End of July, it is very hot at night, people cannot sit at home and the bars are closed, action and a good street fight are visceral necessity. 

Second Wave Epidemics in Israel

The hospitals are more than fully occupied. Worrying. 

Devaluation!

The US dollar is fast losing value. Gold is rising. The stock exchange is rising too, but it is a fake nominal bonanza caused by a worthless dollar. The shekel is maintaining it worth vis-a-vis foreign currencies, but today, the Governor of Bank of Israel, warned that it can fall drastically. He may be planning a devaluation. If America inflates the dollar, we must too.

In the current uncertainty I have been in cash and wondering what to do. Tomorrow I shall buy something.  

She came through the bathroom window

She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon

Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday
Tuesday's on the phone to me

The Beatles. Everybody found it made sense. But what did they meant? The silver spoon refers to drugs. Must have an explanation.

Jewish Slave Traders

I have no idea how many of the Arab Mohammedan slave purchasers in Africa were ethnic Jews, probably none or very few, nor how many of the importers to America were - probably some were in fact Portuguese Jews and Marranos. The list to the left is fake, with many echte Dutch like Roosevelt, and I am certain no Polish Jews could be found navigating the Atlantic with African cargo.

But thinking about the issue, being those Jews apparently so powerful, if I was an American African, I would be very afraid of the Jews. I would try to befriend the Jews, so they would not trade us back to Nigeria and the Slave Coast. Although I can't see profit made in that trade, there is no demand for African Americans in Africa, except in the case of the American government paying cash for each African returned to Africa. Which is not so unthinkable, as in this very moment Italy is paying a Libyan strongman to stop Africans crossing the Mediterranean, thus forcing Europeans to rescue them and claim refugee status. By paying off that Libyan ruffian they save trouble for generations to come.  

La Hormiga Negra

The most loved children magazine of my times in Buenos Aires was called Billiken. .It was cheap yet too expensive for my penniless refugee parents to afford it. Nonetheless I  formed nice collection by trading secondhand cartoon magazines (Flash Gordon, Superman, Batman, El Eternauta, Misterix etc.) on the Sunday morning markets. One of the permanent figures of Billiken was La Hormiga Negra, the Black Ant, which in those innocent times was the model of untiring diligence, of carefully husbanding one resources, of saving for winter, always ready to lend a hand to her colleges.  She was always neatly dressed and polite. In one cartoon that I remember we saw the Hormiga Negra navigating on a leaf, crossing a small stream, crying desperately: "The World Is Ending!". Nearby, the Monkey told her: "Calm down, the world is not ending, may be a little Hormiga Negra is drowning."

Reading American papers, the collective cry coming forth strong is "America is Burning", the Pandemic is killing us, Trump is leading us to a Race War, etc. Then I remember, it is not America dying, it is the little journalist becoming irrelevant and superannuated. BTW, Billiken was the name of the German founder of the magazine. 

South Africa's Health Advice: Glory Holes

HEALTH OFFICIALS HAVE COME UP WITH AN EFFECTIVE YET UNUSUAL WAY OF ADVOCATING FOR SAFER SEX DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC.

AND IT STARTS WITH TWO WORDS: GLORY HOLES... “USE BARRIERS, LIKE WALLS (E.G., GLORY HOLES), THAT ALLOW FOR SEXUAL CONTACT BUT PREVENT CLOSE FACE-TO-FACE CONTACT,” IT STATES.


ACCORDING TO THE MERRIAM-WEBSTER DICTIONARY, A GLORY HOLE IS “A HOLE MADE THROUGH A WALL OR PARTITION TO ENABLE PEOPLE TO PERFORM SEX ACTS ANONYMOUSLY.”
