Russian Postmodernism


For students of theories of culture and philosophy, the term of "philosophy of language" will ignite their memories for names such as Ferdinand de Saussure, Roland Barthes and the 'poststructuralist' as Jacques Derrida. By this term they will be reminded of the series of themes: about how arbitrarily the relationship between sign and meaning, about how meanings are prepared by differential relationship between the sign, about how consciousness is structured by signs, and so on. For students of Marxism, the term of "philosophy of language" is also reminded them of another theme, namely about how ideology is not simply a reflection of the economic interests of social classes, but it is shaped and constrained by language as realm of differences between the marks. Since almost the last century, the development of Continental philosophy shows strong influence of meaning's association of "philosophy of language" like this. Among Marxists, this consciousness began since Valentin Voloshinov in 1930 -- who firstly showed that the ideology of "structured like a language" -- until Slavoj Zizek at the beginning of 21st century who showed that our desires were socially structured via mechanism of language.


But in conventional narrative of "philosophy of language" as a consolidation of poststructuralism's history, there is one name that is rarely mentioned : Joseph Stalin. "Philosophy of language" or what is now tends to be equated with the notion of "poststructuralism" is not a short trip from Geneva to Paris (from Saussure to Derrida), but twisting journey from Geneva to Paris via Moscow. In the corner, Stalin is playing a role. I do not claim that without Stalin  then there will be no poststructuralism and postmodernism (which is derived from poststructuralism). What I claim is that without Stalin then our picture of poststructuralism history and postmodernism formulation won't be complete.

Long before joining the Russian Left, Stalin was a poet. His expertise was in lyric poetry: about trees, wind and night. His lyric poems admired by famous Romantic poet from Georgia, Ilia Chavchavadze. Even some of them were published in the most influential literary journals in Russia in pre-Soviet era, Iveria. But his systematic reflections on new language appeared much later, after he joined the Russian Left, after he took power after Lenin's death. Marksizm i voprosy yazykoznaniya ("Marxism and Problems of Linguistics") is a short book about the nature of language, published in 1950. In it, Stalin considered the language's status within framework of Marxian's thought.

He criticized the deterministic view of Soviet linguist, Nicholas Marr. The linguists argued that language was merely superstructural phenomena. It means, the economic reality completely determines the phenomenon of language, changes in economic reality necessitates a change in total reality of language. Therefore, Marr argued that class differences were also reflected in differences in language. The transition from capitalist production's modus to socialist in Russia must be followed by a linguistic revolution, namely the removal of bourgeois Russian language and its transformation into a "proletariat language". Stalin criticized Marr assumptions. Language was not a superstructural effect of economic reality.

In his work, Stalin explained how language was the product of a historical social relations and cross-class patterned. He gave some historical illustrations, among others, about French in the era before and after 1789 Revolution. While the Revolution marked the transition to a capitalist feudal order, France language was still more or less the same. Indeed there's a new vocabulary and new idiomatic phrases after Revolution in 1789, but the French language syntax remains the same. Similarly with Russia language condition before and after October Revolution of 1917. This shows, for Stalin, how changes in class composition does not necessarily result in a change of language. From here Stalin drew the conclusion that the language couldn't be regarded as a superstructural effect of the base. In addition, Stalin also learned how language had emerged since pre-formation of social classes era (communal production mode). This further confirms his conclusion that the language goes beyond logic of class.

If language is not one of superstructure components, then where is the language in Marxian historical materialism's scheme? At the base? Not really. Stalin saw that language similar to the means of production, as well as factory machinery. There is no such thing as "bourgeois machine" or "proletarian machine". There is only a machine that can be used in capitalist or socialist system of labor division. Meanwhile the machine itself, in-itself, is neutral in class. Similarly with language, according to Stalin. Neutrality is possible because the language already existed before class, ie since the primitive communal society. Language is a "social space" where the production and reproduction of community life occur. Therefore, based on the conclusions of Stalin, the language is not part of superstructure and base because language is a forum where both are being realized. Ideology and reproduction mechanism fulfillment are considered, expressed and discussed through the language. Because language is a place where all social relationships occur, then the language underlies all social phenomena, including the base and the superstructure. Language can't be blamed on political economy basis and ideologically. In other words, in  postmodernist phraseology, language has a "relative autonomy" of the base and superstructure.

In addition to affirming the language"autonomy" of economistic reduction, Stalin also showed that the language was involved in structuring the ideology and public awareness. This is because all of the conversations and reflections should be through medium of language. Therefore, the structure of ideology and culture have always been contaminated by language. There is no pure thought without language. Therefore, there is no ideology without language. This outlook anticipates language approach which later popularized by the structuralist and poststructuralist of France.

There are three things donated by Stalin to poststructuralism and postmodernism:
  1. Rejection of the reduction of language problem in class problem and political economy in general.
  2. Recognition of language as basic vehicle for social interaction surrounding (and hence also beyond) base and superstructure.
  3. Recognition of constitutive language characteristic to consciousness, culture and ideology.
Through the three main ideas, Stalin opened the way for the growth of a variety of language approaches  about community that will characterize French intellectual panorama since the 1960s. With that, Stalin contributed to roll what is commonly known as "Linguistic Turn" in contemporary Continental philosophy. Thus, Stalin - 'the Voldemort'of postmodernist - is precisely the one who makes postmodernism possible.

What can be learned from the 'case of Stalin'? The most brilliant, of course, is that the writing of poststructuralism and postmodernism history need to be overhauled and enriched. However, this case also teaches us something important about the relationship between Marxism and 'the outside of Marxism'. It is clearly, that Marxism -- the general theory of society development -- is not a theory of everything. There are many things uncovered by Marxism, such as: the composition of subatomic of baryons, the properties of alkali metal, semantic implications of studies in pragmatics (pronouns which are rooted in the identity of speakers) and many other things.

To study domain outside Marxism, Marxists often take one of these two options: to impose Marxism theory scheme into it (vulgar gesture) or do not care at all its implications for Marxism (agnostic attitude). Both options are equally problematic. The first option will only generate a pseudo-science, while the second option will deprive Marxism of its roots in the totality of reality. In the case of Stalin, the first choice tends to the fore. This can be seen in Stalin's involvement in the Lysenko affair.


In the early 1930s, Stalin was fascinated by the view of Trofim Lysenko, a Soviet biologist who believed that wheat production could be enhanced through the creation of new breeding techniques. Lysenko justified this technique with a myriad of Marxist jargon and vulgarly  imposed the "law of dialectics" to biological sciences.

Stalin gladly sponsored him to do "agricultural revolution" in the whole of Russia. Lysenkoism proved unsuccessful and realized nothing more than a pseudo-science. Therefore, the choice of Stalin's linguistic problems arguably is more satisfying. With his theory of language, Stalin seemed to give the wind for linguistics and guarantee the immunity from party bureaucratic intervention. Stalin's assurance was immediately greeted by various branches of other studies such as mathematics and logic. Experts mathematics and logic could decipher his teachings without necessarily associated with a class analysis and Marxian political economy. It means, acknowledging "the outside Marxism 'is a step forward. For Marxist intellectual tasks is not to impose Marxism in every way, but finding Marxism in all things, finding the components of the knowledge of non-Marxist which -- if they are assembled and projected macro -- will generate and fulfill Marxism. Here we need to draw a critical inspiration from postmodernist of Kremlin.

Lovelorn

I'm too serious. Yes. By thinking this bear is an animal resembling Alain Soral, then I know, I'm too serious. They do not resemble each other, not at all. So, after taking a compromise in thought, then I say to myself, "This is selfie. The bear is trying to be a bear. An animal. Alain Soral is trying to be himself. A man. Similarities between them: both come from class of mammals. Both are silent, motionless." But my mind is not silent. I always thought he will be torn to pieces by wild animals in the city, then what is left only his debts, ehehehe. Because do not want to be embarrassed by misconceptions, finally I intend to make a wax statue that resembles them both. If a sculpture creation must be named, then I'll call them, "A White Man and a White Bear." ... and they do not have to kiss each other, stupid! Well, it sounds softer in my inner hearing. More friendly to be remembered than, "A Sex Scandal Between A White Man and A Nigger Woman." Ehehee.
"Binti Laden!Binti Laden!"

Dans ta mémoire immortelle,
Comme dans le reposoir
D'une divine chapelle,
Pour celui qui t'est fidèle,
Garde l'amour et l'espoir.
Garde l'amour qui m'enivre,
L'amour qui nous fait rêver;
Garde l'espoir qui fait vivre;
Garde la foi qui délivre,
La foi qui nous doit sauver.
L'espoir, c'est de la lumière,
L'amour, c'est une liqueur,
Et la foi, c'est la prière.
Mets ces trésors, ma très chère,
Au plus profond de ton coeur.

[Nérée Beauchemin - A celle que j'aime]



After a long search for a face in millions of my dreams, I finally find his face. Although I realize this face will go away in a few years, but, can someone tell me how do I get this face back forever? With my face, I am staring at this face. While I still have time for it. While my face is still here. You can't see my face directly. Let me be the one who can see you.
The mortal is time. We are eternal.
We pick it second by second,
Stringing it like a flower
Until one day
We forget why.
"But, the mortal is time, is not it?" you asked.
We are eternal.

bonjour
un beau champion
le monde est plus efficace contre le
rappeur en cours
depuis longtemps depuis cette date plus
de moyens entre 22 acteurs politiques
ou alors ça m'amuse pas effectivement
de parler de ça mais je pense que c'est
intéressant de se servir de ce 2
secondes ce qui s'est passé là un
petit espace de
de 200 médias qui tue
pour eux sur une analyse globale de la
situation
ce que je pense que c'est ça qui est
intéressant
je rappelle le contexte
mais ajoute déclaré dieudonné dans
une vidéo qui a déjà dépassé les
500 milles vu que l'on créé un parti
politique qui s'appelle réconciliation nationale
et pour cent
quelques jours après
en pratique immédiatement après
on nous sort soi-disant rue
une affaire de
de racisme et
et de co2
harcèlement sexuel je sais pas
qui d'ailleurs le sort le même jour
que ma condamnation à 13000 euros
passive et l'a13 1000 euros
dans le procès qui l'opposé à
monsieur haziza
et quand on voit la manière dont les
les médias on lançait l'opération ce
qu'on voit bien que c'est un espèce de
de timing
ça commence par un petit média
soi-disant indépendants mais financé
par son site
et puis ça monte crescendo pour passer
par une 89
le nouvel obs et saphir libération pour
l'ajuster vite et canal+
et je vais vous dire pourquoi
si vous avez regardé le site fr et
consignations
c'est le journal de canal+ qui était le
premier sur la faire
a reçu comme moi
puisque c'est à melle
on recopie coller
les confessions de la halde ladite du
mythique manque c'est pour ça qu'il a
lâché la faire parce qu'il sait qu'il
a pas de faire quoi
mais ce qui était assez incroyable cet
immense et le déferlement
de mensonges
la part des médias qui sont censés des
médias sérieux officiel
ce que des gens vont au minimum ont fait
un travail donc être train
oui elle le déferlement de boule sur le
comment dirais-je
l'alternative
et le le virtuel ça s'est passé ça
c'est ça qui est
c'est notoire sur l'affairé même si
les lensois comptent donner suffisamment
d'éléments sur le site
je n'ai pas vraiment dire autre chose
que c est une
disputes amoureuse
qui met fin une relation
amoureuse virtuelle qui existait entre
le mois de juin et le mois d'août
donc je rappelle déjà que
la fer sonore
le prix
le 15 août
le monde le sait ces jours derniers
e
trois ou quatre mois après avant
les femmes qui sont
une engueulade
sur parole sms échangés
vous je réponds
de manière un peu brutale et énervé
à une première salve de propos
eux-mêmes
brutaux et merveilles voilà mais tout
ça est sûr
tout ça est accessible je n'ai pas
vraiment revenir là-dessus
simplement dire que ce que je balance à
ce moment-là est en fait
si je veux si je voulais parler le dise
devant de nombreux échanges que j'ai
eus avec la personne le triste constat
sa réalité ce que je ne dis pas ça en
l'air c'est plutôt le triste constat de
la réalité qu'elle m'a raconté de
même
que d un jour pour le plaisir des
injures voilà
il est apparu il ya un an
mais ce qui est intéressant c'est que
médiaparte pas monter au créneau et je
vais vous dire pourquoi parce que je
suis entièrement sous surveillance des
renseignements généraux
et entièrement écouter niveau
téléphoner au niveau internet
je pense que
mediapart connaît le l'absence totale
d'affaires et donc ne sont pas montés
au créneau là dessus parce qu'il faut
bien comprendre que la réalité tout
ça c'est que j'ai quand même engagé
les procès
un peu plus légitimement parce que
c'est bon c'est mon
comment dire c'est moi qui étais c'est
mon droit à quelques voix bafoués dans
cette histoire
et donc je pense que j'obtiendrais dans
quelques temps ça prend du temps l'afld
les condamnations de tous les
protagonistes
pour menaces
pour injures
pour divulgation de deschamps se priver
le sommet étant la vente je pense
demain trop tôt
donc obtenu au sortir de la douche
chaude pris en photo devant ma glace par
moi-même
il n'est pas question de tout excès de
photos de soi
sois moi-même un peu
une photo
transmises
de façon malveillante et sans doute
vendu puisque elle a été sortie pour
la première fois par le
l'ignoble
agent le le comment dirais-je
paparazzi ultra sioniste
elle facilitera donc il faut bien voir
que cinq d'opération
de déstabilisation
je dirais de l'extrême-droite sioniste
qui les rend plus à un asthmatique le
sionisme et l'extrême droite est même
la seule extravagance
aujourd'hui vivante depuis le suicide de
drôlerie clair dans son bunker
puisque c'est effectivement une
idéologie colonialiste
raciste
et théologique
mais voilà donc petit aparté donc
extrême-droite sionisme cesse et c'est
un pléonasme
donc c'est bien une attaque
sioniste
pourtant réponse
à la création
par moyeu données de réconciliation
nationale
essayez d euros de la mort en tapant sur
la zarzuela ceinture c'est le cas de le
dire
puisque ces gens-là n'ont aucune
réponse à donner à césar ou projet
politique qui est le nôtre
effectivement qui visiblement les
inquiéter les embête pas dire que la
réconciliation nationale
l'antiracisme authentique
enfin puisque l'on sait très bien ce
qui est des données qui je suis et ce
qu'on fait depuis déjà dix ensembles
ils ont la réconciliation
et l'antiracisme authentique leur fait
très peur
et c'est ça la vraie question pour
continent aussi peur que je puisse
mettre moi avec de l'humour et de donner
à pied en politique en attendant le
jour j
nouveau parti politique la
réconciliation nationale sous fond
justement de rhétorique antisémite
pour le spd qui ne verra pas le jour
je vois pas comment un parti dirigé par
ces mêmes pour m
tombé et pour ne pas finir par tomber
à séville toutes parts sous le coup de
la loi aujourd'hui sur un décalage de
la traçabilité généralisée souvent
pour le pire
pour les individus pour le droit au
secret de chacun des pièges aussi pour
le meilleur moi je serai ce genre de mec
là je ferai attention
peu savent pas où le pire c'est que
ces manipulations en mettant
en jetant en pâture la vie sexuelle des
personnes publiques est une des
stratégies
de déstabilisation politique
je rappellerai la plus peuplée et la
plus éloquente quant aux sujets
et la façon d'en rire edgar ouvert
j'essayais de faire chanter martin
luther-king parce qu'ils avaient des
écoutes
qui démontrait
que martin luther-king fréquenter des
prostituées
finir le site une certitude que martin
luther-king fréquenter des prostituées
ça n'enlève rien à son combat
politique que je sache
et plus près de nous on se rappellera
de l'île de stupide et les
protestataires lévy ne se quittent plus
pour rappel le père de rébecca les
montagnes
un nouveau scandale touche aujourd'hui
le président américain il aurait
entretenu pendant près de deux ans une
liaison avec une stagiaire de la
maison-blanche ecclestone risque
à moins que la destitution et même une
peine de prison
suite ce que c'est d'un autre niveau
mais
toujours pareil avec une histoire
ridicule d'une
une amourette avec une stagiaire
amateurs de la maison blanche mais
voilà c'est récurrent quand on est
déstabilisé quelqu'un
on tape sous la ceinture alors ya ceux
qui sont protégés
khadir qui ont droit à toutes les
frasques
bien plus incroyable que les miennes
évidemment halal l affaire remonte à
la fin des années 70
aux etats-unis le réalisateur de
rosemary's baby et du bal des vampires
est une star
jusqu'à ce jour de mars 1977
pour mame polanski est accusé de viol
sur une jeune mineure
au cours d'une séance photo a le sens
de l'esprit il aurait abusé de samantha
gameurs 13 ans vous avez avec les autres
qui est raconté d'un ancien ministre
qui s'est fait poisser à marrakech dans
une partouze avec des petits garçons
bon
probablement nous savons tous ici de qui
il s'agit très performant par l'horloge
en fait je pense que je vais pas le
faire le fatah
le faire
ils vont suivre
comment l'expliquez-vous oui si les
enterrements deux victoires et un nul
pour finalement mener à bien une
enquête a été ouverte pour vérifier
valider la formation les gens qui sont
protégés
qui sont jetés en pâture se trouve
important de voir et puis des gens qui
étaient protégés qui la secouent le
sont plus
affaire strauss-kahn très intéressante
quelques-uns
ces images ont fait le tour du monde
il affolait les médias
dominique strauss-kahn sort menotté
d'un commissariat de harlem
arrêtés quelques heures auparavant à
l'aéroport
il est accusé d'agression sexuelle de
tentative de viol et de séquestration
sur une employée de l'hôtel sofitel de
manhattan
il a fait
des dizaines de fois ce qu'il a fait
à new york
et puis un jour on n'a pas laissé faire
pourquoi ce jour là effectivement on ne
laisse pas faire la trappe
et on le roule roule détruits
pour ceux qui s'intéressent
sérieusement à ces questions
on voit que ses alliés
à des divergences dans l'instant les
stratégies d'avenir du fmi
entre certaines lignes
pro américaine et certaines lignes qui
n'était plus tôt anti-américaine et
anti-dollar donc j'aime bien me servir
de tout ça pour faire monter le niveau
ben voilà donc à mon modeste niveau
voilà jeu je lance un parti politique
avec dieudonné
et tout à coup
une personne dont je n'ai plus de
nouvelles depuis le mois d'août dernier
et avec qui je vais t'aider disputé à
l'heure
eric est venu qu'une relation virtuelle
c'est peu au regard d'autres
avec l'échangé quelques photos
réciproque réciproquement
pour 100 e de secours ce réveil
et se retrouve dans les mains de
d'un réseau de manipulation qui pâtit
pas de la comme très souvent de la
voyoucratie de la pierre voyoucratie
je rejouerai pas dans les détails
effectivement un rôle au média
mainstream
en passant par les relever les réseaux
de l'extrême droite
sioniste
tout ça est avérée et démontrer donc
je pense que je peux sur ce sujet
m'arrêter là-dessus
....

***
Le gai soleil chauffait les plaines réveillées.
Des caresses flottaient sous les calmes feuillées.
Offrant à tout désir son calice embaumé,
Où scintillait encor la goutte de rosée,
Chaque fleur, par de beaux insectes courtisée,
Laissait boire le suc en sa gorge enfermé.
De larges papillons se reposant sur elles
Les épuisaient avec un battement des ailes,
Et l'on se demandait lequel était vivant,
Car la bête avait l'air d'une fleur animée.
Des appels de tendresse éclataient dans le vent.
Tout, sous la tiède aurore, avait sa bien-aimée!
Et dans la brune rose où se lèvent les jours
On entendait chanter des couples d'alouettes,
Des étalons hennir leurs fringantes amours,
Tandis qu'offrant leurs coeurs avec des pirouettes
Des petits lapins gris sautaient au coin d'un bois.
Une joie amoureuse, épandue et puissante,
Semant par l'horizon sa fièvre grandissante,
Pour troubler tous les coeurs prenait toutes les voix,
Et sous l'abri de la ramure hospitalière
Des arbres, habités par des peuples menus,
Par ces êtres pareils à des grains de poussière,
Des foules d'animaux de nos yeux inconnus,
Pour qui les fins bourgeons sont d'immenses royaumes,
Mêlaient au jour levant leurs tendresses d'atomes.

Deux jeunes gens suivaient un tranquille chemin
Noyé dans les moissons qui couvraient la campagne.
Ils ne s'étreignaient point du bras ou de la main ;
L'homme ne levait pas les yeux sur sa compagne.

Elle dit, s'asseyant au revers d'un talus :
"Allez, j'avais bien vu que vous ne m'aimiez plus."
Il fit un geste pour répondre : "Est-ce ma faute?"
puis il s'assit près d'elle. Ils songeaient, côte à côte.
Elle reprit : "Un an! rien qu'un an! et voilà
Comment tout cet amour éternel s'envola!
Mon âme vibre encor de tes douces paroles!
J'ai le coeur tout brûlant de tes caresses folles!
Qui donc t'a pu changer du jour au lendemain?
Tu m'embrassais hier, mon Amour ; et ta main,
Aujourd'hui, semble fuir sitôt qu'elle me touche.
Pourquoi donc n'as-tu plus de baisers sur la bouche?
Pourquoi? réponds!" il dit : "Est-ce que je le sais?"
Elle mit son regard dans le sien pour y lire:
“Tu ne te souviens plus comme tu m'embrassais,
Et comme chaque étreinte était un long délire?"
Il se leva, roulant entre ses doigts distraits
La mince cigarette, et, d'une voix lassée:
"Non, c'est fini, dit-il, à quoi bon les regrets?
On ne rappelle pas une chose passée,
Et nous n'y pouvons rien, mon amie!"
A pas lents
Ils partirent, le front penché, les bras ballants.
Elle avait des sanglots qui lui gonflaient la gorge,
Et des larmes venaient luire au bord de ses yeux.
Ils firent s'envoler au milieu d'un champ d'orge
Deux pigeons qui, s'aimant, fuirent d’un vol joyeux.
Autour d'eux, sous leurs pieds, dans l'azur sur leur tête,
L'Amour était partout comme une grande fête.
Longtemps le couple ailé dans le ciel bleu tourna.
Un gars qui s'en allait au travail entonna
Une chanson qui fit accourir, rouge et tendre,
La servante de ferme embusquée à l'attendre.

Ils marchaient sans parler. Il semblait irrité
Et la guettait parfois d'un regard de côté ;
Ils gagnèrent un bois. Sur l'herbe d'une sente,
A travers la verdure encor claire et récente,
Des flaques de soleil tombaient devant leurs pas ;
Ils avançaient dessus et ne les voyaient pas.
Mais elle s'affaissa, haletante et sans force,
Au pied d'un arbre dont elle étreignit l'écorce,
Ne pouvant retenir ses sanglots et ses cris.

Il attendit d'abord, immobile et surpris,
Espérant que bientôt elle serait calmée,
Et sa lèvre lançait des filets de fumée
Qu'il regardait monter, se perdre dans l'air pur.
Puis il frappa du pied, et soudain, le front dur :
"Finissez, je ne veux ni larmes ni querelle."
"Laissez-moi souffrir seule, allez-vous-en", dit-elle.
Et relevant sur lui ses yeux noyés de pleurs :
"Oh ! comme j'avais l'âme éperdue et ravie!
Et maintenant elle est si pleine de douleurs!…
Quand on aime, pourquoi n'est-ce pas pour la vie ?
Pourquoi cesser d'aimer? Moi, je t'aime… Et jamais
Tu ne m'aimeras plus ainsi que tu m'aimais!"
Il dit : "Je n'y peux rien. La vie est ainsi faite.
Chaque joie, ici-bas, est toujours incomplète.
Le bonheur n'a qu'un temps. Je ne t'ai point promis
Que cela durerait jusqu'au bord de la tombe.
Un amour naît, vieillit comme le reste, et tombe.
Et puis, si tu le veux, nous deviendrons amis
Et nous aurons, après cette dure secousse,
L'affection des vieux amants, sereine et douce."
Et pour la relever il la prit par le bras.
Mais elle sanglota : "Non, tu ne comprends pas."
Et, se tordant les mains dans une douleur folle,
Elle criait : "Mon Dieu! mon Dieu!" Lui, sans parole,
La regardait. Il dit : "Tu ne veux pas finir,
Je m'en vais" et partit pour ne plus revenir.

Elle se sentit seule et releva la tête.
Des légions d'oiseaux faisaient une tempête
De cris joyeux. Parfois un rossignol lointain
Jetait un trille aigu dans l'air frais du matin,
Et son souple gosier semblait rouler des perles.
Dans tout le gai feuillage éclataient des chansons :
Le hautbois des linots et le sifflet des merles,
Et le petit refrain alerte des pinsons.
Quelques hardis pierrots, sur l'herbe de la sente,
S'aimaient, le bec ouvert et l'aile frémissante.
Elle sentait partout, sous le bois reverdi,
Courir et palpiter un souffle ardent et tendre;
Alors, levant les yeux vers le ciel, elle dit :
Amour ! l'homme est trop bas pour jamais te comprendre!"

[Guy de Maupassant - Des vers : Fin d''amour]







News Headlines (528) 11 February - 20 February 2015




ONLINE TODAY

11 February 2015 : Friends might attempt to entice you to go on a little adventure today, and you are more than ready to follow their lead. Be sure to examine all the facts first, whether it's a social engagement or a business venture, since you could be so eager to dive in that you're fully involved before you know the whole deal. Employing a little common sense can save you from having to untangle yourself from a complicated mess. Aries rush in where angels fear to tread.

12 February 2015 : Today is all about renewal and regeneration -- your energy is healing any old wounds that have bothered you lately. The final result may not be what you expect, though. Be flexible! Naturally, you might wish previous commitments weren't weighing you down today, but there's no escape from fulfilling your obligations. The optimistic Sagittarius Moon encourages you to dream larger than life, but you still could appear irresponsible to someone else who thinks you should focus on the tasks at hand. Don't push your luck. You could get all you want and more if you eliminate the excess noise and take care of business. Channeling your enthusiasm into your work is your ticket to success.

13 February 2015 : You may be bored with your daily routine and are tempted to do something drastic about it today. Fortunately, you can get away with making changes that only a few days ago would have created problems. Don't let a current opportunity slip through your fingers. Pushing for short-term gratification now doesn't necessarily prevent you from establishing long-term goals as well. Working both ends of the time spectrum increases your odds of achieving success.

14 February 2015 : It's a good day for exploration -- which could mean almost anything. Your energy is perfect for checking out new people, places and things. It could be online or IRL, so go for it! You want to balance your obligations with your need for fun and games once the Moon enters responsible Capricorn today. Although your regular routine brings you back down to earth, you're not necessarily willing to let go of the idealistic hopes that still brighten your future. Remain cautious and optimistic at the same time; you can skillfully manage the tension if you stay aware of both extremes while the tightrope is stretched between your desires and your commitments. A delicate balancing act serves you well.

15 February 2015 : You truly believe that you're on the right path to success now, but you might not be ready to make all the sacrifices required to accomplish your objectives. Nevertheless, you could do your share of deep soul-searching today as you consider limiting your ambitions and then eliminating the less realistic parts of your plan. Pragmatic behavior is fine, but don't let anyone talk you out of your dreams. Hold tight to your core beliefs, even as they are honed in the fire of everyday practice.

16 February 2015 : It seems as if you must step on the brakes today or you could upset the delicate dynamics around you. The truth is you need take other people's emotions into consideration, even if you think you know what you want. However, you can only put off the inevitable for so long since you won't be satisfied until you try to achieve satisfaction. However, it doesn't matter how important your goals are; the ends don't justify the means. Paradoxically, you are more likely to experience personal fulfillment now if you work for the common good.

17 February 2015 : Your bold new vision is keeping life interesting for everyone around you -- though you may have a hard time convincing one or two skeptics that your plan is the best. Things are definitely positive! Cooperation from your friends is a blessing in disguise because it might also make you anxious if you believe the support comes with conditions. Nevertheless, working together you are able to solve just about any problem -- even longstanding stubborn ones. You may bring this same productive attitude to organizing social events, as well. Just be sure to consider the ramifications of your actions before agreeing to something that's not heartfelt. If you walk your talk today, others will follow.

18 February 2015 : You are at your best when leading a group -- or even following along, as going solo is not recommended. Things are just settled in such a way that you need to deal with problems en masse. You are at your best when leading a group -- or even following along, as going solo is not recommended. Things are just settled in such a way that you need to deal with problems en masse.

19 February 2015 : Your dreams inspire you to set lofty goals today, yet the strength of your convictions counteracts any discouragement that may surface if you don't accomplish everything you want. Although your thinking might be spiritually based now, you're able to remain pragmatic about executing your plans. Nevertheless, don't waste time wondering if you are extending your reach too far. Putting all the puzzle pieces in their proper places requires persistence.

20 February 2015 : You can't make heads or tails of whatever is going on around you today -- but it's not for lack of trying! Your mental energy is a little out of balance, so push yourself in new directions. No one has a clue about what you might do next because you are ready to reclaim control of your life. Even if your recent visits to the fantasy realms were lovely, it's now time to push your dreams out into the real world. Fortunately, your key planet Mars is back in your sign for the next six weeks, empowering you to draw upon your famous Aries courage to overcome your fears. Just don't expect too much all at once, since it could be another month before your new plans actually begin to take shape. Make the most of this auspicious time and reach for the stars.

NEWS & POLITIC : Grandma Exposes CIA Operation.  Published on Feb 12, 2015 by TheAlexJonesChannel



EDUCATION : The Blessed Tree (The Only Living Sahabi of Rasulullah Muhammad SAW). This incident was when our Beloved Prophet of Allah SAW was 12 years old (1459 hijri years ago). The tree which shaded Rasoolullahi SAW is miraculously preserved by Allah for all this long period. It is the lonely tree available for around hundred square kilometers in that inhospitable desert north of Jordan.
There was a priest by the name of Bahira who lived in a small monastery that was close to the market of Busra. The Wise Bahira had witnessed some peculiarities in the procession that he had not seen before. While he was looking at the Qurayshi procession, he had noticed a cloud shading a child (Muhammad SAW). When the procession came and lodged underneath a tree, he observed the same cloud shading the tree and the tree's branches bending before the Radiant Child to provide shade for him. Bahira, who had seen these peculiarities, invited them for a meal. They accepted the invitation and sat at the dinner table. However, there was an individual from the procession who was absent. Bahira was looking for Muhammad SAW. Since he was the youngest, the Radiant Child had been charged with the duty of keeping an eye on the procession's belongings; thus, he was sitting by the tree. Bahira, who had examined the Holy Books and learned the characteristics and signs of the last Prophet from them, insisted that he come as well.

While Muhammad SAW was busy eating his meal at the table, Bahira's entire attention and amazement was on him. He was eying his every move and condition. Bahira had found what he was looking for and had reached his goal. The Radiant Child's behavior and every action perfectly matched the written descriptions in the book next to him. The meal was finished and while everyone was dispersing from the table, Bahira leaned down to Muhammad SAW ear and said, "Look, young man. I want you to answer the questions that I am going to ask you about Lat and Uzza." There was an expression of discomfort and hate in the Radiant Child's eyes, "Please do not want anything from me on behalf of Lat and Uzza. By God, there is nothing that I hate more than them". Bahira retracted his first request. "In that case, Answer the questions I am going to ask you for the sake of Allah". Muhammad SAW replied "Ask whatever you wish". Bahira was bewildered by all the answers that he received to his questions because they exactly matched everything that he knew about the Last Prophet. Lastly, he looked at Muhammad's back and saw the seal of Prophethood. Bahira's conviction was now certain and without doubt: This youth was the long-awaited Last Prophet SAW. After his recognition, Bahira went to our Holy Prophet's uncle, Abu Talib. The following conversation took place between the two:
"What relation do you have to this child?"
"He is my son"
"No, he is not your son because this child's father is not supposed to be living."
"Yes, you are correct. He is my nephew, not my biological son".
"Well, what happened to his father?
"He passed away while this child's mother was pregnant."
"Yes, you have told the truth."
Finally, Bahira gave the following advice to our Holy Prophet's uncle, which showed that he was a man who thought and spoke rightfully: "Immediately take your nephew back to your homeland. Protect him from the jealous Jews. By God, if the Jews see this child and notice what I have noticed, then they will try to inflict harm upon him because your nephew is going to attain a great reputation and glory in the future. Do not stay here anymore. Be sure to take him back immediately." Upon hearing this advice, Abu Talib sold his goods there and returned to Mecca together with his glorious nephew.

Self-proclaimed atheist charged in slayings of North Carolina Muslim students
See? Would you like to trust me when I say that there are many extremists & terrorists in the U.S.? If Muslims are killed by non-Muslims / atheist, whatever it is ..., would they react the same as when non-Muslims killed by the Muslims? Hell No! Although I tend to not consider all murders are not based on the politicization of religion -- because it is purely a criminal case -- but they will almost certainly accuse Islam as a terrorist religion, and to bless all the events to rise Islamophobia.

Obama's new communications director is Russian media's favorite punching bag. President Obama announced Thursday that State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki will be the next White House communications director. Though Psaki played lead communications roles in both of Obama's presidential election campaigns and has served the administration as Secretary of State John Kerry's spokesperson since 2013, the average American might not be familiar with her. In Russia, on the other hand, "Psaki"is a household name. Or at least Russia's pro-Kremlin media wants it to be.
She's like a cunning and deceitful teacher, insensitive, more talking than listening, and she likes whispering with her answer paper behind the scenes, even though she's always trying to look perfect in front of the speaker and journalist. Likened to a book, I do not like to read her face. I do not find out the truth of her facial expressions. Sorry.

84% of Americans see Islamic State as 'critical threat' - poll
Hey, are you American? Want to try to use the veil as used by members of ISIS? Okay. Wear it. Well, now you go to the mirror, please staring at your face: You are now as Arabs, and you can go to Iraq or Syria as Arabs. Ehehehee ... funny is not it? Exciting is not it?

Oh oh dahling,... you know it: ISIS with its movement activity and attitude from day to day more and more suspicious. What they do is very conspicuous and blatant. And these are also increasingly differentiating them with Islamic Jihad group anywhere in the world. I could feel ISIS oddities :

* Extraordinary cruelty : Just like Israel, ISIS has also been doing a series of atrocities in a number of countries in the Middle East, such as Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, and Afghanistan. ISIS is not only slaughtering humans with a barrage of machine guns, rockets, and bombs, but ISIS also separating their head from their body just by using a blunt knife.   ISIS will also continue to kill their victims, even though they are in a weak condition and they have wailed for mercy. None of the Islamists since the time of Prophet Muhammad who commit crimes such as human as performed by ISIS.

* ISIS tends to kill Muslims and community who live in harmony with Muslims. From the track record of its activities, ISIS as if intentionally is created to kill Muslims and mankind  who live in harmony with Muslims. At least 15 thousand Muslims are massacred by ISIS mercilessly. Then ISIS proudly showing off their bloodstained hands: the blood of the creed readers.

* ISIS does not defend Palestine: Since Israeli first attack on Gaza last July 8, 2014, until 1700 the lives of Palestinians have been in vain, ISIS proved instead chose to hide rather than having to fight against Israel.

* ISIS does not attack US allies: ISIS powerful movement instantly paralyzed when dealing with all allies, namely the US, Israel, Britain, France, and Canada. ISIS is also known not attacking allies facilities in the countries that are infiltrated.

* ISIS is also not attacked by the Allies: ISIS acts of terror and atrocities of war  in a number of Muslim countries - which has killed tens of thousands of people - never knock the US or US allies to punish ISIS or drag ISIS to international court.

* ISIS damages the Islamic historical sites, its movement is beyond the teachings of Islam : There are no verses in Islam teachings which justify ISIS teaching practice, and none of Islamic movement since 14 centuries ago did what was done by ISIS. The establishment of Islamic Khilafah (Islamic state) is not justified in an area that has potential to cause polemics horizontal, especially with very cruel slaughter. ISIS with its action has been successfully break the concentration and muslims solidity in the Middle East. Until today ISIS with its cruelty still free to do a terrible murder. I am sure, ISIS is not a group that is purely derived from Islamic teachings and theology, because ISIS is just an Islamic splinter which deliberately created for the benefit of a particular party and to take specific advantage. A similarity in the mission and vision between Zionist and ISIS is: to destroy the Muslims and mankind who disagree with them from the earth. ISIS still shows a significant survival,  and the group's ability to hold and control most of Iraq and Syria territory is the reason why the former US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel calling the group was "more than just a terrorist group."

"Thank you for your perception! I like your romantic side, even if I do not always comment and I'm glad that you're in my circle of friends."
(Courtesies by: Wolfgang A. Gerhardt)

Wolfgang A.Gerhardt : May be you like this Sunday collage

Cisca Zarmansyah : Before today, there never was a person doing this to me. You create a simple matter to look special. This is a special thing for me.

Cisca Zarmansyah : Thank you. I love it. I love you, my friend.

CieL- FreYa Ceastle : Hmm, he's so nice...















"I am me.
In all the world,
there is no one else exactly like me.
Everything that comes out of me
is authentically mine,
because I alone chose it --
I own everything about me:
my body,
my feelings,
my mouth,
my voice,
all my actions,
whether they be to others or myself.
I own my fantasies,
my dreams,
my hopes,
my fears.
I own my triumphs and successes,
all my failures and mistakes.
Because I own all of me,
I can become intimately acquainted with me.
By so doing,
I can love me
and be friendly with all my parts.
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me,
and other aspects that I do not know
-- but as long as I am friendly
and loving to myself,
I can courageously and hopefully
look for solutions
to the puzzles and ways
to find out more about me.
However I look and sound,
whatever I say and do,
and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time
is authentically me.
If later some parts of how I looked,
sounded,
thought,
and felt
turn out to be unfitting,
I can discard that which is unfitting,
keep the rest,
and invent something new
for that which I discarded.
I can see,
hear,
feel,
think,
say, and do.
I have the tools to survive,
to be close to others,
to be productive,
and to make sense
and order out of the world of people
and things outside of me.
I own me,
and therefore,
I can engineer me.
I am me,
and I am okay."

(American Phychologist and Educator, 1916-1988)
