Renfield: George Soros Gets His "Useful Idiots" To Pull Out The Race Card To Deflect From His World Government Plans
August 31, 2020 at 10:32 pm	(Geopolitics and International Relations, International Intrigue, News, Politics, The Supernatural, Vampire novel) (Anne Francis, Baal and Baphomet, George Soros, Ghost of Orson Welles, Joe Biden, Mephistopheles, Renfield R. Renfield)
British MP Renfield R. Renfield was doing a Monday night podcast:
Defense lawyer Robert Shapiro, who was a member of the so-called legal Dream Team of high-priced expensive defense lawyers who successfully defended former NFL football star O.J. Simpson from the charge of murder in the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman back in 1994 and 1995, once told a TV interviewer that when the Dream Team first met to discuss Simpson's defense, they agreed not to play the "race card" for the defense which was that Simpson had been deliberately framed for the murders because he was black.
Then, as Shapiro put it, in the midst of the trial Simpson Dream Team lead counsel Johnnie Cochrane "not only played the race card, he pulled it out from the bottom of the deck."
Likewise today globalist Marxist billionaire George Soros has noted that many people are starting to rise up and take notice of the many manipulative actions that Soros has conducted over the years dating back to the collapse of the British pound currency in the autumn of 1992 (which Soros was responsible for and through which Soros made a huge financial killing) and particularly over the past 5 years in which he has teamed up with his globalist bum buddies Pope Francis and Bill Gates to finally bring about a One World Government.
The brainless Marxist mainstream media has tried to protect Soros by saying "he's just a bogeyman for the far right" ignoring the fact that Donald Trump has equally become a bogeyman for "everyone from the moderate left to the far left".
Soros to protect himself has now, like Johnnie Cochrane in the O.J. Simpson trial, pulled out the "race card" to protect himself and is claiming and whining and snivelling that people are picking on him because he's Jewish (although it's probably been a good 50 years since this atheistic Marxist rat has graced himself through the doors of a synagogue).
Several so called anti-hate and anti-discrimination groups have been peeling onions and pouring out the crocodile tears claiming that poor innocent George Soros is just the latest victim in a long drawn out history of Jewish conspiracy theories.
Well neither Pope Francis nor the geeky nerd Bill "he didn't lose his virginity and wasn't laid until he earned his first million dollars" Gates are Jewish.
Soros may be Jewish because of his ancestral lineage but he certainly doesn't act Jewish.
He acts like an atheist who rather ironically worships the demons Baal and Baphomet at the same time.
Edgar Allan Poe once wrote a short story called The Purloined Letter in which the subject letter of the title and the story that the Paris police so valiantly searched for was hidden within plain sight on a table in the room all the time.
Likewise Soros has been an open in plain sight global conspirator all the time as anybody who has ever bothered to watch his open speeches to each year's Davos Summit Conference in Switzerland can surely attest to.
Today's mainstream Marxist news media and so called anti-hate and anti-discrimination organizations are even more clueless and out to lunch than the Paris Police Force of amateur detective C. Auguste Dupin's day and therefore are incapable of noticing the open global conspirator in their midst.
Last night, senility prone Joe Biden had been down in his basement talking to his pot smoking desert cactus plant Sweet Dementia when suddenly the demons Baal and Baphomet appeared to him.
"Joe," said Baal, "We need you to go to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania tomorrow and make a speech. We've promised to do the fallen angel Mephistopheles a favour and in return, he's going to possess your body temporarily and deliver the speech through you for you so you don't come across as being a senile old fool. Is that all right with you, Joe?".
"Sure man, why not?" Biden said before falling asleep in his Alphabets cereal.
Today the fallen angel Mephistopheles speaking through Biden in Pittsburgh asked, "Do I look like a radical socialist?".
Biden trying to take back control of his body reached for the plastic bag with the Leon Trotsky beard, moustache and glasses inside to try to put them on.
Mephistopheles slapped his hand.
Mephistopheles as Biden then tried to blame Trump for all the violence now raging in American cities.
Leaving out the fact that it was Democratic Party Mayors of those cities who were allowing the anarcho-Marxist thugs and hooligans and Neo-Bolshevik insurrectionists free rein which was responsible for all the violence.
The ghost of Orson Welles was sitting inside the living room of the London-based billionaire ancient Egyptian vampire Set's estate.
He was deciding whether or not he should go to his birthplace of Kenosha Wisconsin tomorrow when Donald Trump was visiting there.
Grabbing a bottle of spectral red wine, Welles' ghost wandered through the Set Mansion.
He came to a door at the back end of the house when he suddenly saw this vision:
Smoking a cigarette, the vision turned back and looked at him and said, "Don't go to Kenosha, Mr. Welles."

Renfield: No Abraham Lincoln Available To Tackle Today's Seditionous Treacherous U.S. Democrats
August 30, 2020 at 10:51 pm	(Geopolitics and International Relations, International Intrigue, News, Politics, Vampire novel) (Abraham Lincoln, Democrats, Neo-Marxism, Renfield R. Renfield)
British MP Renfield R. Renfield was doing another one of his Sunday night podcasts.
Renfield: 160 years ago in the year 1860, the U.S. Democratic Party favoured slavery for African-Americans. They ran against Abraham Lincoln of the recently formed U.S. Republican Party who wanted to eventually do away with slavery for African-Americans.
The Democrats lost the 1860 Presidential election to Lincoln and being the seditionous treacherous lot of scoundrels that they are promptly formed the Confederacy and tried to break away from the American Union- an historical fact lost on today's brainless mainstream Marxist media (The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, Global News Canada and all other disinformation branches of the New World Order Ministry of Propaganda) with their abysmal ignorance of history (and every other field of study for that matter).
Today the Democrats say they've always been opposed to the Confederacy (a crock of crap if there ever was one!).
It was Democrats who enacted Jim Crow laws in the south and Democrats who founded the Ku Klux Klan.
However slowly within the veneral disease infested underbelly of the U.S. Democratic Party, a desire for a new form of slavery was gradually unfolding – Marxist-Leninist slavery.
You had Alger Hiss an advisor to FDR giving away atomic secrets to Josef Stalin.
You had the Neo-Menshevik Zbigniew Brzezinski being named National Security Advisor to U.S. President Jimmy Carter back in the late 1970s.
As the Dominican priest Father John O' Connor said about the Neo-Menshevik Brzezinski, "He may have been anti-Bolshevik but he wasn't anti-Communist."
Within the Kennedy family of U.S. politics, there were two noted anti-Communists John F. Kennedy and RFK Bobby Kennedy.
That anti-Communism was not passed on to the youngest of Joe Kennedy Sr. 's sons the "fat slob Neo-Communist Teddy Kennedy" as he was called by a geopolitical analyst friend of mine on a blog of his back in the early 2000s.
Fat slob Neo-Communist Teddy Kennedy whose idea of saving a drowning woman was to roll up the car windows and swim away.
Fat slob Neo-Communist Teddy Kennedy who, when he was at his heaviest and most obese, could have used Greenpeace's Save The Whale posters on his Senate re-election campaign signs in Massachusetts.
So in 1860, the U.S. Democratic Party favoured slavery for African-Americans.
Today in 2020 (160 years later), the U.S. Democratic Party favours slavery for everybody regardless of race, creed or colour. Today the U.S. Democratic Party is an equal opportunity enslaver. They want everyone to live under the slavery of a global Marxist-Leninist tyranny.
For those with eyes to see and ears to hear, who today's Democrats really are can be seen by the way most Democratic Party Mayors and Governors in the U.S. have reacted to the Chinese Communist Party Wuhan virus pandemic when they have enacted the most draconian measures imaginable against their populations and forbade freedom to worship.
The sheer glee with which most of these Neo-Communist despots have closed houses of worship from California's Gavin Newsom to New York City's Castro admiring Commie Mayor Bill de Blasio shows the inherent militant atheist Marxists today's Democrats have become.
Sadly there is no Abraham Lincoln in the Republican Party to confront today's equal opportunity enslavers and Slavery For All political despots in the contemporary Neo-Marxist Democratic Paety.
It appears God's judgement has fallen upon America.
For those who think it's bad living under the rule of the 1% elite in a capitalist society, just wait until they find out what it's like living under the rule of the 1% elite in a Marxist socialist society.
At least living under the rule of the 1% elite in a capitalist society, one is allowed to say "This sucks."
In a Marxist socialist society to say that the Hell On Earth the Commies have created is anything less than Heaven On Earth is to leave one open to the possibility of torture, imprisonment and death.
Just ask the long suffering people of the world's now oldest Communist state- North Korea.

Pachamama In California
August 29, 2020 at 10:52 pm	(Geopolitics and International Relations, International Intrigue, Mystery/horror, News, The Occult, The Supernatural, Vampire novel) (Amadeus Emanon, Joe Biden, Pachamama, Renfield R. Renfield, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., The Neo-Bolsheviks of Covid-19, Vatican Abomination of Desolation)
"Governments love pandemics for the same reason they love wars.
Because then they're able to exert areas of control over the population that the population would not be able to accept in any other time."
-Robert F. Kennedy Jr. , Berlin Germany August 29th 2020
"Well I see the Neo-Bolshevik and Neo-Menshevik Marxist bozos at the New York Times and The Washington Post are calling Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (the son of assassinated New York Sen. Bobby Kennedy and the nephew of assassinated U.S. President John F. Kennedy) a Nazi who will be addressing Nazis in Berlin today," British MP Renfield R. Renfield mentioned to his friend Amadeus Emanon.
"What's that all about?" Amadeus asked Renfield.
"They're having a protest in Berlin today against the draconian measures the German government have enacted against its population in the wake of the Chinese Communist Party Wuhan virus and Bobby Kennedy Jr. is addressing them at the demonstration," Renfield noted, "Naturally the Commies at the New York Times and The Washington Post love the Holy, Blessed and Eternal Virus because along with Pope Francis, Bill Gates and George Soros, they believe the draconian measures enacted in the name of the virus will bring about a Marxist-Leninist One World Government. Since Bobby Kennedy is raining on their pandemic totalitarian parade today, the NY Times and The Wa Post are accusing him of being a Nazi. Communists always have the habit of calling anyone who disagrees with them a Nazi."
"What else did Bobby say?" Amadeus inquired.
"That 5G networks and a digital currency are all about control, it's not about benefitting you the ordinary person," Renfield answered, "Because as Mr. Kennedy pointed out, once a government is able to control your bank account, they're able to control you."
"That's true," Amadeus nodded.
"And then Mr. Kennedy also attacked government "health experts" who at the same time have a vested interest and tie in with Big Pharma- global pharmaceutical corporations," Renfield read from the rest of the Kennedy speech delivered in Berlin today.
"Who did he have in mind there?" Amadeus scratched his chin.
"Let us call one such government "health expert"… Dr. Anthony Fauci," Renfield replied in Seinfeldian rabbi fashion.
Senility prone Joe Biden was once again sitting in his Delaware home basement and smelling the cannabis smoke exhaled by his pot smoking desert cactus plant Sweet Dementia.
"Where have all the flowers gone? Long time passing…" Joe inhaled before falling asleep.
Biden had a dream where a large snake who had woman's hair on its head was coiling itself around Biden and squeezing the living daylights out of him.
"Who was that snake with woman's hair?" Biden asked a masked man with a Texas ranger's star riding a white horse called Silver in the basement as he awakened.
In the background, Rossini's William Tell Overture was playing on the radio.
The Inca earth mother goddess Pachamama in California
Pachamama sat on an old retaining wall not far from a tree.
She was starting to regret having all those tattoos put on her in a San Francisco tattoo shop after having had 666 too many lime margaritas.
Oh well, fortunately for her, there was a natural spring in the Peruvian Andes that had the ability to wash off tattoos.
She was soon joined by the flaming disembodied head of Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.
"So, what have you been up to?" Pachamama asked Teilhard.
"I've been starting a whole bunch more of those California wildfires with the flaming hairs on my head," Teilhard chortled like Bill Gates playing Dr. Victor Frankenstein after he had created the monster.
"That's nice," Pachamama smiled like the cat who ate the canary, "As for myself, I'm planning to take a walk along the San Andreas fault."
She got up to do just that.
Teilhard's flaming head lay back on the grass where he started a small grassfire and he thought to himself, "The Inca goddess in charge of earthquakes taking a walk along the San Andreas fault. That should prove interesting."

Renfield Discusses The Merger of Marxism and Spiritist Necromancy
August 28, 2020 at 10:52 pm	(Geopolitics and International Relations, International Intrigue, News, Sorcery, The Occult, The Supernatural, Vampire novel) (Amadeus Emanon, BLM, Renfield R. Renfield, Semiramis, Spiritist Necromancy, The Neo-Bolshevik Insurrection In America, The Neo-Bolsheviks of Covid-19)
British MP Renfield R. Renfield was discussing some of this week's past events with his friend Amadeus Emanon.
"Well as senility prone Joe Biden is in his basement at his Delaware home talking to his pot smoking cactus plant Sweet Dementia about how he doesn't need to take a cognitive test while the mainstream Marxist oriented news media in the U.S. and Canada is busy singing his praises, the ghost of Orson Welles is in the billionaire ancient Egyptian vampire Set's basement wine cellar drinking barrels of ghostly spectral red wine and weeping over the fact that his birthplace of Kenosha Wisconsin is undergoing burning, rioting and looting by anarcho-Marxist thugs and hooligans urged on by Neo-Bolshevik agitators."
"What's the difference between ghosts and the entities who are summoned in seances, spiritist channeling and necromancy?" Amadeus asked.
"Well from talking to your friend the Rev. Father Aidan Bury Saint Edmunds the Church of England's leading exorcist on the subject," Renfield answered, "a ghost is a spirit of an actual deceased person who for reasons known only to God is allowed to roam on the earth in places that are often referred to by mortals as being haunted. A ghost is also a spirit of a deceased person occasionally allowed to leave Purgatory for occasional short periods of time as William Shakespeare noted about the ghost of Hamlet's father in his play Hamlet and as Charles Dickens noted about the ghost of Jacob Marley in his 1843 novella A Christmas Carol. And then for whatever reason, the ghosts of Orson Welles and Winston Churchill have been allowed to leave Purgatory the past couple of years where they've spent a great deal of time hanging around my parliamentary office and the vampire Set's estate as well as various other places."
"What about the entities who are summoned in seances, spiritist channeling and necromancy?" Amadeus asked.
"They are for the most part demons only posing as spirits of the dead which is why the Book of Deuteronomy Chapter 18 forbade the ancient Israelites from engaging in the practice of necromancy or summoning spirits," Renfield explained, "although there was one notable exception when God actually allowed the spirit of Samuel to leave Sheol (that shadowy realm of the dead that the ancient Greeks called Hades and the ancient Norse called Hel) and appeared to King Saul to talk to him much to the surprise of the witch of Endor who had summoned him and was expecting a deceiving spirit or demon to appear and not the real Samuel's ghost."
"So that's the difference," Amadeus nodded, "A ghost is a spirit of an actually deceased person who remains behind on earth after death and haunts a certain place or else the spirit of an actually deceased person who's allowed to leave Purgatory on occasion while an entity summoned in a seance, spiritist channeling or necromancy is usually a deceiving demon just posing as and pretending to be the spirit of an actually deceased person."
Renfield nodded, "That's right."
Amadeus then said, "What got me curious was the email you sent me before we went on to Skype asking the question can a Marxist be a spiritist necromancer?".
"And we'll get in to that later," Renfield sipped a bottle of Coca-Cola, "what I noticed about the Kenosha riots is that in this set of looting and burning riots (that the brainless mainstream media always calls "peaceful protests" although they've now invented the Orwellian Doublespeak Newspeak misnomer "peaceful clashes" for the Kenosha riots- a contradiction in terms if there ever was one), a couple of anarcho-Marxist thugs and hooligans found themselves being shot and killed no doubt much to their surprise. It really shouldn't have been much of a surprise. If you're going to go around rioting, looting and burning all the time, don't be surprised if people start getting pissed off and start shooting you."
"Do you think the new trend of shooting rioters and looters will continue?" Amadeus inquired.
"I think it will," Renfield nodded.
"So what did you think of Pope Francis' weekly Wednesday audience address this past August 26th?" Amadeus wanted to know.
"The one where he all but called for a One World Marxist-Leninist global government?" Renfield poured a Josef Stalin autographed bottle of 1940s Russian vodka into the same garbage can where Claude Rains as Captain Louis Renault had poured a bottle of Vichy Water in the 1942 film Casablanca, "He's finally shown the last of his true colours. The Virgin Mary had told the three shepherd children at Fatima in the words of the Third Secret that Satan would infiltrate to the very top of the Catholic Church and he has. Or at least a willing puppet has. Pope Francis comes across as being too intellectually challenged and dim witted at times to be actually possessed by that most intelligent of Archangels- Lucifer."
"Pope Francis is sort of an ecclesiastical Joe Biden?" Amadeus took a look at a dumbell that a weightlifter had recently dropped on the floor.
"Or Joe Biden is an American political equivalent of Pope Francis," Renfield nodded, "Then yesterday August 27th the World Council of Churches joined with the Vatican in issuing a joint statement all but calling for the creation of a Marxist-Leninist One World Government."
"So all the Red chickens are coming home to roost?" Amadeus ate a well roasted and devilshly hot piece of chicken wings.
"They are," Renfield added some rum to his glass of Coke, "so what's your answer to my question that I emailed you? Can a Marxist be a spiritist necromancer?".
"Well I always thought a Marxist was supposed to be a militant atheist," Amadeus answered, "so how can they possibly engage in a supernatural form of witchcraft such as spiritist necromancy?".
"That was always my opinion," Renfield agreed, "But as you know the three women who started the Black Lives Movement organization are all admitted Marxists. As you know on the BLM About page, their stated goal is the creation of a Marxist state where both the nuclear family and fatherhood are done away with and children are raised by the state. So I thought being Marxists, they'd be good militant atheists as well. But then the Set Enterprises Intelligence Unit came across a Zoom interface video that two of the founders had with each other."
"And what does that video show?" Amadeus inquired.
"One of the founders says she summons the spirits of those black people who have died in police custody or at the hands of police to come to her and they apparently come," Renfield added some more rum to his drink.
"Really?" Amadeus put down his slice of lemon meringue pie.
"Yes," Renfield nodded, "One of the BLM founders says that she often laughs with Wakiesha in her room. They have many a laugh together. Wakiesha Wilson is the name of a young lady who died in police custody in 2016."
"So the BLM Marxist founders say they can summon ghosts?" Amadeus was flabbergasted, "But the deliberate summoning forth of ghosts by mortals is necromancy which is a form of witchcraft and is condemned in Deuteronomy Chapter 18? Namely because the spirit being summoned is usually a demon posing as the ghost of a deceased person?".
"Yep," Renfield went on, "So all these professional athletes who wear BLACK LIVES MATTER on their shirts, when they bow and kneel, what type of invisible entities are walking by when they bow and kneel?".
Semiramis the Queen of Ancient Babylon wonders: Will anyone invoke and summon her?

Renfield Ends His Podcast With A Song

Renfield, The Byzantine Vampiress Theodora, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Vampiress Theodora)
British MP Renfield R. Renfield was doing a Sunday night livestream video podcast analyzing geopolitical affairs and current events.
Tonight he decided to end his podcast by singing a song.
He came down to the last item before singing a song,
"Last night my best sources in Istanbul tell me that the Byzantine vampiress Theodora (who in her mortal life had been the Byzantine Empress Theodora the wife of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian the Great) beat the crap out of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for turning a former Orthodox Byzantine Christian monastery into an Islamic mosque.
She couldn't have beat the entire crap out of him because if she had, there wouldn't have been much left of him. If she had beat the entire crap out of him, they could have buried him in a cigar box."
Renfield then broke into a song.
It was a country music song in which Renfield gave a stirring country musical rendition – a combination of the voices of Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers and Marty Robbins rolled into one.
Sang Renfield,
"When the moo cows, when they make milk,
It's the only milk I do adore,
When the moon shines over the cow shed,
I hope the cows are making plenty more…"

Alexei Navalny Flown To Germany
August 22, 2020 at 10:17 pm	(Espionage, Geopolitics and International Relations, International Intrigue, News, Spy Tales, Vampire novel) (Alexei Navalny, Berlin Germany, Harvey Tallbanger, Renfield R. Renfield, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Vladimir Putin)
Russian Opposition leader Alexei Navalny was flown from Siberia to Berlin, Germany for medical treatment.
Mr. Navalny had fallen ill during a flight from Tomsk Siberia to Moscow this past Thursday.
Disturbing video shot on the plane showed Mr. Navalny howling in agony on the flight before he collapsed into a coma.
His supporters believe that a cup of tea he drank at a Tomsk airport cafe had been poisoned.
The plane made an emergency landing in Omsk Siberia where Mr. Navalny was taken to hospital.
Mr. Navalny's personal physician Anastasia Vasilieva was not allowed to see him while he was in hospital in Russia.
British MP Renfield R. Renfield speculated that it was because doctors at the hospital in Omsk were trying to cover up traces that Mr. Navalny had indeed been poisoned and doing so on the Kremlin's orders.
Doctors at the hospital in Omsk on Friday spent most of the day twiddling their thumbs when it came to signing paper work to fly Mr. Navalny to Germany.
Finally early Saturday morning Mr. Navalny was granted permission by Omsk doctors to leave and a medical evacuation flight paid for by the German organization Cinema For Peace landed the Russian Opposition leader at Tegel airport in Berlin where he was taken to the German capital's Charite Hospital for treatment.
Mr. Navalny's possible poisoning was only one in a long string of poisonings done to Mr. Putin's opponents over the years, Mr. Renfield pointed out.
Alexander Litvinenko an FSB defector had been poisoned by radioactive polonium-210 in London, England back in November 2006.
Sergei Skripal (a GRU officer who defected to the UK) and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with a Russian developed Novichok nerve agent in March 2018.
Unlike Mr. Litvinenko who died, the Skripals recovered from their poisoning.
Although a UK citizen exposed to the nerve agent during the Skripal poisoning died.
The Russian Foreign Ministry always denied that the Russian state was responsible for the poisoning of Mr. Putin's opponents with the same vigour that the Washington Post, New York Times, CNN, MSNBC and Global News Canada disinformation branches of the New World Order Ministry of Propoganda denied that those rioting, looting and burning in various inner cities across the U.S. were anything but "peaceful protestors".
Renfield told his parliamentary colleague the Welsh vampiress Morgana that he had already made his move against Putin for the latest poisoning of one of the Russian leader's political opponents.
"Mr. Putin seems to fancy himself more of a Byzantine Emperor than a Russian Czar," Renfield explained to Morgana, "since that seemed to be the favourite method used by Byzantine Emperors for doing in their opponents- poisoning."
Meanwhile in Moscow as a Harvey Wallbanger drinking Kremlin guard was removed from duty for claiming that a 6 foot 8 tall bunny rabbit with big pink floppety ears and holding a hypodermic needle syringe in his upper right paw was wandering the Kremlin halls, minutes later Vladimir Putin suddenly experienced a sharp sensation in his buttocks as if he was jabbed there.
Renfield later spoke to his friend Amadeus Emanon via Skype, "Did I tell you that Dr. Cadbury Rocher has developed a serum that when injected into a person's buttocks can give that person the worst case of hemmorhoids in all recorded history?".
"What's the purpose of that?" Amadeus asked as he ate a hard boiled egg.
Meanwhile in the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin started screaming his head off when he tried to sit down.

And all the leather bound volumes on shelves were buried under dust
And all the gold on many crowns had finally turned to rust
A wireless library stretched across the globe
which technocrats wanted implants in everyone's frontal lobe
Every fact and every fiction was now determined by Google
10 years hence you may see pic of Siamese cat when you search for "poodle"
And all will say it must be so
For high tech is not our foe
Alexa has replaced the shrink by the couch
With bar codes in your hands, no money to welch
Social interaction is missing like a person's lips
Buried under a mask with one's nose and no sinking ships
All that one sees are the other person's eyes
Which have been Net trained to show nothing but lies
"The truth is out there" is a phrase now foreign as ancient Etruscan
if Truth ever existed, it's as dead as electoral collusion with a Russian
The truth is not out there, it's neither here nor there
For every day is filled with hope previous generations labelled "despair"
They march in tune to the beat of a non-existent drummer
where an eternal winter is labelled an endless summer
Good little sheep they all are
Marching near and far
For 2020 was the year most lost perfect vision
As their minds were infected by a diabolical incision
2030 was the UN's sustainable goal
But the world's elites bet on a closer running foal
And they got their wish
from the bottom of a Wuhan petri dish
The medium was indeed the message like Marshall McLuhan predicted
And people soon ceased calling themselves "homeless" after they were evicted
The media echoed the same message day after day
And people's souls were lost like needle in the hay
And the Devil smiled as he sang "You're all going my way"
"Be careful what you wish for" was now an old forgotten refrain
lost in a forgotten past like the whistle of ancient steam train
They had spent so much time in the late 20th Century watching movies
about lands of Dystopia and the post-Apocalypse
That finally when in reality it came to pass, no one asked, what is this?
Far from the madd'ing crowd that was so maddening
He lived in a home far away
surrounded by books and old leather volumes
where the sun ruled the day and the moon ruled the night
And 2 +2 = 5 was never ever right
In his mind's eye he saw the lovely Athena
ancient goddess of wisdom that haunted his dreama'
Minerva was her Roman name
and she bore wisdom's flame
Holding ancient scrolls
She pointed towards those
Who sought her light still
like one man alone on the side of a hill
Who sought neither the blue nor the Matrix red pill
For all medication inclined for a soul to kill
Her owl flew in the direction
of a world far from perfection
Knowledge to impart
Even just for one was a start.
Joe Biden Addresses Democrats On H.P. Lovecraft's 130th Birthday
August 20, 2020 at 10:33 pm	(Geopolitics and International Relations, Horror, International Intrigue, Mystery/horror, News, The Supernatural, Vampire novel) (H.P. Lovecraft, Joe Biden, Leon Trotsky, Lev Tomi, Rod Serling, The Cthulhu Mythos, Underworld of Hades and Persephone)
Today is H.P. Lovecraft's 130th birthday.
Howard Phillips Lovecraft the writer of weird fiction and horror fiction and the creator of the Cthulhu Mythos was born in Providence Rhode Island on August 20th 1890.
Having been granted temporary dispensational release from the Underworld by Hades and Persephone for the day, Lovecraft sat in the front row of the empty Wisconsin stadium that was supposed to be the hub of the Democratic National Convention and wondered, where is everybody?
Sitting in a lighting room in the empty stadium was the vampire Lev Tomi the Secretary-General of the United Nations Secretariat On The Environment and Climate Change.
In his mortal life, Lev Tomi had been the Russian Bolshevik Leon Trotsky.
It was 80 years ago today that Trotsky had been hit in the head with an ice pick axe wielded by Stalinist Soviet NKVD agent Ramon Mercader who attacked Trotsky in the study of his Mexico City home.
Trotsky was taken to hospital and operated on and died a day later on August 21st 1940.
Or that was the story that was told the world to prevent further assassination attempts on Trotsky by Stalin.
The Aztec vampire princess Qonzilqointec turned Trotsky into a vampire before he could succumb to his mortal wounds and die a mortal death.
Now Trotsky as Lev Tomi was hoping to use environmental degradation of the planet and climate change and this year the Chinese Communist Party virus pandemic to become the head of a Neo-Bolshevik One World Government.
As Trotsky/Tomi reflected on these thoughts, outside the stadium a small snowball that had fallen off a passing ice cream truck had metamorphosed into a statue of Napoleon while a small herd of barnyard pigs walked by.
Tonight's DNC event began with a prayer being said by the Jesuit heretic (and ardent admirer of the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah as they were before Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt) Jimmy Martin, a rabbi, an imam, a kangaroo and the owner of the bar where priest Jimmy Martin, the rabbi, the imam and the kangaroo had walked in through the door just as someone was telling a joke.
Joining Jimmy Martin, the rabbi, the imam, the kangaroo and the bartender in saying a prayer for the Democrats were the ghosts of Anton Szandor Lavey the founder of the Church of Satan and Aleister Crowley the well known British occultist (both of whom had been granted temporary dispensational release from Tartarus by Hades in order to join in the prayer invocation).
When the prayer was over, a short video was shown.
The video contained imagery from a dream that Joe Biden had last night.
In the dream, Biden was visited by the ghost of the well roasted looking former Sen. Teddy Kennedy (who had been granted a temporary dispensational release from his rotating barbeque spit by Hades for the night).
Kennedy took Biden on a tour of the 9 Circles of Dante's Inferno while in the background Buffalo Springfield sang, "There's something happening here…"
After Kennedy showed Biden the rotating barbeque spit reserved for him which were right next to the rotating barbeque spits reserved for Pope Francis, Bill Gates and George Soros, the dream ended.
Joe Biden got up on the empty stage to speak.
As he did so, the creature Cthulhu (that many had thought was just a figment of H.P. Lovecraft's imagination) towered on the stage behind Joe Biden having swam across an entire ocean and hitchhiked across a continent to get here.
His octopus tentacles included insignia marked on each tentacle Antifa, BLM, Neo-Bolsheviks, Trotskyite 4th International, Stalinism Revisited, Maoism Revisited, The Hammer and Sickle and finally The Mark of Baal and Baphomet.
Cthulhu then proceeded to eat the empty auditorium (as Lovecraft's ghost watched), the entire Democratic Party and finally America itself.
The ghost of Rod Serling appeared and told those still alive and watching, "Ladies and gentlemen, please do not just adjust your sets or your livestream. You are about to enter another dimension, a world beyond time and space, a place where reality meets the imagination, you are about to enter the Twilight Zone…"

August 19, 2020 at 10:25 pm	(Geopolitics and International Relations, International Intrigue, News, Politics, The Occult, The Supernatural, Vampire novel) (Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, Renfield R. Renfield, The Baron Samedi, The Democratic National Convention, The Loa of Haitian Voodoo)
British MP Renfield R. Renfield had been talking to a friend of his who was an Alberta based geopolitical analyst.
The friend mentioned two books written by the same man that had strongly influenced his life.
The man was Malachi Martin a former Jesuit priest who had left the Jesuit order because it had pretty well been taken over by Marxists.
The two books by Martin were first The Final Conclave and the second was The Keys of This Blood.
The Final Conclave written by Martin was published in 1978.
It described a future conclave in which a Communist was elected Pope.
That happened in March 2013 with the election of Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina who took the name Pope Francis.
The second was The Keys of This Blood published in 1990 in which a KGB plot was described whereby the countries of Central and Eastern Europe would be allowed to go free and the USSR would undergo a transition towards a more democratic state.
The KGB plot was a 30 year plan to turn the United States of America into a Communist state from within.
Once the U.S. went Communist, then the whole world would go Communist.
And it would happen without a single nuclear weapon being fired reasoned the KGB planners.
Now 30 years later in 2020, the plan would be complete with the senility prone Joe Biden (a most malleable puppet of his Communist overseers if there ever was one) winning the Presidency.
Renfield then watched some highlights from last night's Democratic National Convention – a virtual convention which was turning out to be duller and even more cheesy than a PBS local community fundraiser.
It would definitely make Dr. Frasier Crane singing Buttons and Bows for a pre-Bolshevik Revolution Seattle PBS fundraising telethon look like a Giuseppe Verdi opera by comparison.
Renfield viewed the highlights using Dr. Cadbury Rocher's Supernatural Entity Detector Lens allowing Renfield to view what was really going on behind the scenes.
The lens allowed Renfield to see what was happening just prior to Bill Clinton (looking 99.9% dead and a living corpse) addressing the American people and telling them to cast their votes for Joe Biden.
Hillary entered a room and shouted, "Bill! Bill! It's time for your address to the virtual Democratic National Convention!".
Bill is lying on a couch looking very much dead and decomposed and lying under a mountain of dust and huge spider woven cob webs.
"Oh shit! He's dead!" Hillary exclaimed angrily, "I didn't know he had died. I rarely ever speak to him. Chelsea mentioned on her last visit that "Dad isn't looking well at all" but as I said to her at the time, he looks like just the way he looked whenever he returned from Jeffrey Epstein's Lesser Saint James Virgin Island. He was probably dead back then when Chelsea told me that he wasn't looking well at all."
Hillary grabbed her Haitian Voodoo Spell Book and turned to the chapter on Raising People From The Dead.
"I've never been able to successfully cast a voodoo spell before," Hillary started chanting voodoo spells in much the same way as a Pentecostal preacher might attempt to chant a Latin Gregorian chant from the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church, "Baron Samedi don't fail me now. It might be highly embarrassing if I have to tell the Democratic National Convention via livestream that Bill has died. Especially after asking Mexican authorities if I could borrow the ice pick axe with which Stalinist agent Ramon Mercader murdered Leon Trotsky almost 80 years ago to the very day now."
Surprisingly the loa of Haitian voodoo heard Hillary's earnest chanting (or more likely they were irritated by her ear piercing shrieks) and Bill was raised from the dead.
"Thank goodness, you brought me back from the dead, dear," Bill gasped, "Because Cerberus was busy chewing on my tiny third leg. Someone neglected to put all that Mena, Arkansas Airport money in my mouth so I could pay Charon the Ferryman across the River Styx."
Bill then addressed Democrats via livestream telling them that America needed a President who respected the sanctity of the Oval Office.
Watching Bill's little speech on television at home, Monica Lewinsky almost choked on the banana she was eating when Bill Clinton talked about the sanctity of the Oval Office.
Then after Joe Biden had formally been elected the Democratic Party Presidential nominee, a choir of demons from Hell rose up on to the empty convention stage to sing,
"And crown him, crown him,
crown him, crown him,
and crown him lord of all."

Renfield Takes Stock of The North American Titanic
August 18, 2020 at 10:14 pm	(Commentary, Geopolitics and International Relations, International Intrigue, News, Politics, Vampire novel) (Renfield R. Renfield, Satanic Witch Airhead Alyssa Milano, The Democratic National Convention)
British MP Renfield R. Renfield was spending the day in an English country garden.
Renfield was currently on his laptop, sitting under a tree and sipping a Mai Tai.
He was spending the day answering emails from a few of his North American fans.
Some Canadians were writing to him complaining that most of the "health experts" in Canada (whom the media were constantly focusing on in this time of the pandemic caused by an escaped Chinese Communist bioweapon) were all female (which was all right) but they were also all quite repulsively ugly (which was not all right).
It was Renfield's understanding that these "health experts" were saying the same thing day after day and thus there was no reason for these facial breakers of mirrors to appear in public every day.
Renfield lined up the next Alberta Health Press Conference from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada with a new individual who would just repeat the same lines that the ugly looking female Provincial "Health Expert" said every day.
A parrot then appeared at the podium in front of the assembled news media.
Quoth the parrot, "Squawk. Remember to wash your hands. Squawk. Remember to wash your hands. Squawk. Remember to wash your hands."
The parrot then made his next statement, "Squawk. Practice social distancing. Squawk. Practice social distancing. Squawk. Practice social distancing."
Flapping his feathers, the parrot then built up to the punch line, "Squawk. Wear a mask at all times. Squawk. Wear a mask at all times. Squawk. Wear a mask at all times."
Yes, the parrot just sounds like your typical "health expert" now, Renfield thought to himself as he watched on his laptop.
The parrot then added, "Squawk. Polly wants a cracker. Squawk. Polly wants a cracker. Squawk. Polly wants a cracker."
Okay, Renfield thought, the parrot will add an improvisational line of his own just so that these Health Authority press conferences don't wind up as boring as a Stephen Colbert comedy routine.
After taking a brief dip in the garden wading pool where he made a dozen laps back and forth across the two metre wide long pool, Renfield towelled himself off and went back to his laptop.
He then watched a few scenes from last night's U.S. Democratic Party Presidential Virtual Convention.
After rolling on the grass next to his lawn chair in huge rollicking gales of laughter, the next door neighbour to Renfield's country estate was thinking to himself, "He doesn't seem to be taking the Democratic National Convention with the same degree of seriousness as The Washington Post, The New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, Global News Canada and all the other disinformation branches of the New World Order Ministry of Propoganda."
Renfield then read a Twitter tweet that satanic witch airhead Alyssa Milano had sent to the Democratic Convention, "I'm so happy I'm a fucking Democrat."
Renfield then sent a reply back to Ms. Milano under the handle of his fictional Italian alter ego Luigi Parmacelli, "You so happy you're a fucking Democrat. All those Democrats you 'a fucked had better check themselves into the nearest Sexually Transmitted Diseases clinic for 'a emergency treatment."


As totally a seller's agent, my skill is strictly concentrated entirely on assisting families to most efficiently market their homes for the highest earnings within the time chosen.
We surely grasp why you need the maximum feasible price when you sell your home today and need experienced advice on the best ways to sell your house quickly.
And if you want to buy a property, we totally understand why you need to obtain a superlative buyer real estate agent to get the most terrific deal possible that you can manage in the most unique location.
There are normally determined to be two primary sets of professionalism in real estate. Namely, seller agents (or brokers) as well as purchaser agents (or brokers). Some real property representatives assist both sellers as well as purchasers, yet I do not in my profession for numerous reasons. Creative imagination is actually the best necessary skill given that this assists me to find what can be performed to raise the value of and embellish a residence. Building expertise is essential due to the fact that it enables me to review the prices of improvements. Neighborhood market conditions as well as fads are beneficial in calculating the optimum cost a home may cost in a certain area. Buyer representatives definitely possess kinds of skill-sets that I do not possess and they are great at what they do. As the homeowner real estate agent, I like to consider myself as a proficient positive negotiator.
The purchaser realtor is actually commonly a negative negotiator, creating due dates, deadlines, and demands and detecting defects, discrepancies, and deficiencies as well as displaying a downer, deadpan facial expression, always looking dismayed and disturbed regarding the house of the seller, and displaying downright desperation, disenchantment, defeat, despair, and disillusionment. Certainly, this is an oversimplified description but I have seen it played out many times. I have passion regarding the product I am selling: the home is actually unique, it is one-of-a-kind. I present myself as, as well as definitely think that, I bargain coming from power, never from a position of weakness. The buyer realtor bargains from weakness, never ever from strength. I am patient and polished, as well as will always appear to possess the time factor on my side.
These negotiations are certainly not a game to me, they are actually a very major effort, yet, I especially appreciate them, all the same. And I particularly revel in winning for my clients.
Completely specializing in assisting individuals to most efficiently market their residences for the highest possible profit within the time desired.

LADY IN A CAGE
(director: Walter Grauman; screenwriter: Luther Davis; cinematographer: Lee Garmes; editor: Leon Barsha; music: Paul Glass; cast: Olivia De Havilland (Mrs Hilliard), James Caan (Randall O'Connell), Jeff Corey (George L. Brady Jr, wino), Jennifer Billingsley (Elaine), Rafael Campos (Essie), Ann Sothern (Sade), William Swan (Malcolm Hilliard), Charles Seel (Junkyard Proprietor), Scat Man Cruthers (Junkman's Assistant); Runtime: 93; MPAA Rating: NR; producer: Luther Davis; Paramount Pictures; 1964)
"Morbid unwatchable misogynist psychological thriller of the sensationalist school."
Morbid unwatchable misogynist psychological thriller of the sensationalist school, that is far less illuminating than it thinks it is. In fact, it's really no better than a low-level drive-in exploitation flick. Longtime TV director Walter Grauman ("A Rage to Live"/"633 Squadron"/"The Disembodied") helms this prophetic film on violence that's written by producer Luther Davis. The writer says it's based on a real incident and he aims to warn the unprepared country that violence is here to stay and there will come a time when it will overwhelm the country. The film might stink, but its observations and prediction were spot on (which in the early 1960s wasn't really that hard to predict).
The smug Mrs. Hilyard (Olivia de Havilland) is a middle-aged wealthy widowed semi-invalid recovering from a broken hip, who lives in a three-story New York townhouse with her troubled son Malcom (William Swan). On the hottest day of the summer, on a holiday weekend, Malcolm goes on a trip to visit friends leaving mom home alone. Soon she finds herself stranded in her specially installed cagelike elevator, as she tries to go upstairs there's a power outage. The electrical failure was caused when the power junctions box outside her house was accidentally hit.
When a panicky Mrs. Hilyard activates an emergency alarm to alert those on the street of her predicament, she only succeeds in attracting the attention of the delirious wino George (Jeff Corey). He enters her house to steal goods and elicits the help of the sleazy, plump, over-the-hill, prostitute Sade (Ann Sothern) to cart away the household goods to a fence. Sade tells three vicious teenage hoods, the Marlon Brando-like Randall (James Caan), the empty-headed Elaine (Jennifer Billingsley), and the knife-carrying Essie (Rafael Campos), about Hilyard's house being open season for vermin. The trio follow the wino and the hooker back to the townhouse, where they have an orgy, murder the wino, and torture and lock Sade in a closet. Randall gets his jollies off mocking Mrs. Hilyard and confronts her with a suicide note Malcolm left behind to be read after he departed for his holiday, while she rants and raves and hysterically tries to fight like an animal for survival as the trio plans to kill the vics for sport.
If this shocker is your idea of the kind of film needed to wake up the sleeping American public to the ongoing threat of crime, let me be a dissenter. I found it dull, pretentious and unpleasant; a film that had little redeeming social value and no entertainment value.

Now that it had been a couple weeks since classes started, I figured I might write about my roster for this semester. This semester, similar to the last two, I have 19 credits of mostly major required classes. My core design classes for this semester are Industrial Design Studio 3, 3D Realization, and 3D Visualization. Studio consists of primarily more major projects that focus on developing the design process and tying together the many different skills developed in the two other design classes. 3D Realization is the design class which has replaced the more graphic design esk classes from last year. 3D Realization focuses on teaching different modeling and machining practices. So far we have learned to safely use the laser cutter, foam cutters, plastic ovens, band saws, drill presses, mills, and metal lathes. The laser cutter and plastic ovens already played a major role in our second studio project. 3D Visualization is my drawing class for the semester. In 3D Visualization, we moved from using black colored pencils as we did last year to using various types of pens and Copic markers for shading/color. I took me a little while to get back into the drawing flow but recently I have been very satisfied with some of my work.
Aside from my design classes, I have a social studies elective and a mandatory physics class. For social studies, I decided to take design history. Both classes are very well organized and have a regular pattern which is something I appreciate. In History class, for instance, there is always an online quiz due on Tuesday before class and the writing homework is due by midnight Friday. In physics, the online homework is due every money before class and the quiz is due by midnight Wednesday. This makes it really easy to keep track of all work and get it in on time. Overall I am very satisfied with all of my classes and professors this year. I will continue to write posts referring to individual projects as I complete them.
September was a busy month. After flying in from California on the 30th of August I went to my roommate's house in Rhode Island from which we prepared to move into the apartment on the 1st. When we moved in, the apartment was left in pretty poor condition so we spent the first three days driving in from Rhode Island in the morning then cleaning or painting for a few hours and in the evening driving back to Road Island to sleep and eat. While it would have been nice to be able to move into the apartment the day we got to the city, having to do some work wasn't unexpected and the real estate agency was willing to reimburse us for the materials we needed to buy. Now that we have moved into the apartment it is really nice to have a clean, open, and most of all a personal room. Hopefully, this whole endeavor is rewarding enough for the time and energy spent on it.
So far I am happy with living off campus but there are some cons to renting from a private company instead of getting a dorm room on campus. The most noticeable is that if I lived on campus my classes would only be about 5 minutes away while from my apartment it takes about 15. On the flip side of this, the grocery store and Target are only 5 minutes away instead of 15 which makes it easier to go grocery shopping and prepare meals myself. Another mark against the off-campus apartment would be that we are on the fourth floor and don't have an elevator in the building. However, I quickly got used to walking the steps and now appreciate it as a mandatory workout. Overall I am happy with my choice to move into the Fenway but I understand that it wouldn't be the best choice for everyone.
The last few weeks in both Vis and Studio have been taken up with our final projects for this semester. In studio, we were instructed to design the packaging and form of a bar of soap, and in Vis, we were asked to design a poster for an assigned font type. For my soap, I chose to design a product that addressed the needs of a swimmer. Having been a swimmer for most of my life I knew that a crucial part of the soap would be addressing the issues surrounding chlorine exposure. To solve this, I added moisturizers and liquid anti-chlorine soap to the base we were using. In the packaging and the form of the soap, I upheld the swimming theme by using speedo products such as swimming fins as a reference. I really like the final product which I came up with and will have it at my year end show this week. I am also very pleased with my poster. After several iterations, this is what I came up with what I have attached below.
January in Boston has been treating me well. While I do wish it was a little warmer it has stayed mostly dry for the last few weeks. However, we do have a snow storm warning for tomorrow so we will see how the next few days go. My new classes have thus far been quite enjoyable. I am currently enrolled in Industrial Design Studio 2, Visualisation 2, Visual Communication, English 2, and Geometry. In industrial design studio class, we have already finished our first project which was an 8-inch by 8-inch cube that we developed using subtractive methods and ultimately modeled in chipboard. Visualization 2 is my drawing class for this semester. As opposed to what we were doing last semester this brand of drawing is a lot more technical and definitely more my thing. I have attached a drawing from class to this post. Visual communication started off with taking pictures of elements and principles of design in existing objects and has now moved onto coming up with personal compositions. English 2 and geometry are pretty standard classes for their subject.
In Visualization 1/ Drawing 1 we worked our way through the full course of the drawing progression. We started back in September with gesture and concluded in December with fully rendered and shaded drawings. For me this was an interesting way to loosen up. Coming from an engineering background I was used to drawing in a technical fashion, so it took some time for me to become accustomed to drawing exactly what was in front of me with all of its real-world imperfections. We started the semester with doing big sets of gestural drawings, which are loose thirty-second drawings that try to roughly capture the form of the object. These gestures now serve as the basis for our more complex drawings as they lay out how the drawing will develop. After this we worked on diagrammatic lines to refine our gestures and check proportion (this came more naturally to me). Next, we started to do contour lines over our gesture and diagrammatic lines, which captured the definite lines of what was being drawn. Lastly, we shaded our contoured drawings to capture the form through how it interacts with light. Below is a drawing of the Boston Public Library in contour and cross contour line.

Logging so many months on the road may have taken its toll on his mental and physical health, but the experience instilled in him a new emotional fortitude, which is on full display throughout Mutual Benefit's long-awaited follow-up. Full of flickering string arrangements and sad-eyed vocals, Skip a Sinking Stone sounds more comfortable with its mixed emotions, as Lee processes a new relationship, a new home, a new city. Teasing out the excitement and the dread that accompanies so many milestones, his songs are likely to provoke a twinge of recognition in any twentysomething.
Skip a Sinking Stone most properly addresses the mental state of uncomfortable stasis, settling in but feeling unsettled. After so much constant motion, the stillness of Lee's new home in Brooklyn became overwhelming. Lee is the kind of artist who compartmentalizes the various creative processes: when he tours, he can't write. When he's writing, he can't play shows. His growing restlessness informs every song on the album, almost every line, lending the songs a jittery undercurrent.
Optimism demands a foolhardiness that Lee can't quite muster, but he's certainly no pessimist, opting instead for the unease of balance. And that may ultimately be what makes this quiet coming-of-age album sound so big and powerful and loud: It portrays a young man not just awakening to the realities of adult life, but finding something beautiful in the painful contradictions.

Jajmani System in India: An Overview
Posted on September 22, 2020 by Rashid Faridi
Jajmani system is considered as the backbone of rural economy and social order.
It is a system of traditional occupational obligations. In rural India Jajmani system is linked with caste system. Both give power to each other.
It has become a part and parcel of social and economic system of India.
The term Jajman has been derived from the Sanskrit word Yajman, which means a person who performs a yajna. Thus if some yajna is to be performed for that the services of some Brahmins are essentially needed. It was gradually that its use was made common to everyone who hired services or to whom the services were given.
It could be said that the Jajmani system is a system of distribution whereby high caste land owning families are provided services and products of various lower castes such as Khati (Carpenter), Nai (Barber), Kumhars (Potters), Lohars (Blacksmiths), Dhobi (Washer man), Sweeper (Chuhra) etc.
The servicing castes are called Kamins while the castes served are called Jajmans. For services rendered the servicing castes are paid in cash or in kind (grains, fodder, clothes, animal products like milk, butter etc.) Kamin means who works for some body or services him.
In villages, durable relations are there mainly between food-producing families and the families that supply them with goods and services. William H. Wiser's study of a village in Uttar Pradesh reveals that these relations are called Jajmani in Hindi. In Maharashtra, they are known as "Balutdar".
In Jajmani system, at the centre is the family of agriculturists, the zamindars. They receive services from the families of occupational castes. One who receives services is known as Jajman, the patron. The families that provide services are known as Kamin, Kam Karney waley or Kamgars (workers). In other parts of India, terms such as Parjan, Pardhan, Balutedar etc. are also used for the providers of goods and services.
All these words literally refer to the same people, i.e. those who 'work' for others and one may call them clients. The castes, which happen to provide services to the agriculturists, vary from one village to another. Every caste in the village does not happen to be a part of Jajmani system. So Jajmani system can be defined as a patron-client relationship.
Yogendra Singh describes Jajmani system as a system governed by relationship based on reciprocity in inter-caste relations in villages. Ishwaran has said, that it is a system in which each caste has a role to play in a community life as a whole. This role consists of economic, social and moral functions. This is the philosophy of Varna System.
Definition of Jajmani System::
The Jajmani system is a peculiarity of Indian villages.
"A person by whom a Brahmin is hired to perform religious services, hence a patron, a client". —Webster's Dictionary
"The service relations which are governed by a hereditary tenure are called Jajman-Praja relations". —N.S. Reddy
Kamins are also known as Praja.
"Under this system each caste group within a village is expected to give certain standardised services to the families of other castes. Each one works for certain family or group of families with whom he is hereditary linked." —Oscar Lewis
Harold Gould has described the Jajmani system as inter-familial inter-caste relationship pertaining to the patterning of super- ordinate-subordinate relations between patrons and suppliers of services. The patrons are the families of clean castes while the suppers of services are the families of lower and unclean caste.
The first detailed study of Jajmani tradition in India was made by William H. Wiser. Both Kamin and Jajman are Integral part of the jajmani system and thus complementary to each other. The Jajmani system is called "Aya" in Mysore of South India, according to Ishwaran (1966).
Henty Orenstein has held that the families of village officials or village servants (for example the watchman) maintain jajmani relations with the whole village rather than with particular families.
Edmund R. Leach (1960) said, "Jajmani system maintains and regulates the division of labour and economic interdependence of caste." William H. Wiser (1967) said, "Jajmani system serves to maintain the Indian village as a self-sufficient community." Harold Gould (1987) said, "Jajmani system distributes agricultural produce In exchange for menial and craft services."
A number of studies have been conducted on jajmani system in India. The important studies code N.S. Reddy's study on North India in 1955, W.H. Wiser's study in 1936, Prof. S.C. Dubey's study in Hyderabad; D.N. Majumdar's study (1958) in Lucknow of U.P., Katheline Cough's (1955) study in Tanjore, Darling's study (1934) In Punjab etc.
Although the Jajmani relationship seems to be between castes, in reality, it is between particular families belonging to particular castes. It is the relationship between families that continue to exist over time.
Advantages of Jajmani System:
1. Security of Occupation:
Security of occupation is guaranteed in case of jajmani system. Since this system is hereditary, the kamin is assured of his occupation. He knows that if he breaks his family occupation he shall not be able to earn his livelihood.
2. Economic Security:
It provides economic security to kamins as the jajman looks after all of their needs. The kamins are assured of their economic security. In every monetary crisis the jajman helps the kamins. They extend all possible help to the kamins. So there is economic security in the jajmani system.
3. Close and Intimate Relationship:
There is close and intimate relationship between the jajman and kamin. This relationship is not purely economical but it is sentimental and internal. A spirit of fellow feeling and brotherhood develops under this system. Both jajman and kamin know full well each other's limitations as well as plus points.
So, they try to adjust each other. Jajmani system is hereditary and permanent, that is why both jajman and kamin sympathies for each other. This system creates an atmosphere conducive to peaceful living and co-operation.
4. Peaceful Living:
The cut-throat-competition for work or employment is almost absent in jajmani system. No jajman goes without service nor any kamin goes without food. So this system creates an atmosphere of peaceful living by creating the spirit of fellow-feeling and co-operation.
Disadvantages of Jajmani System:
1. Source of Exploitation:
Jajmani system is exploitative. The agricultural castes, which are invariably upper castes, seek the services of the occupational castes, which are generally lower castes. The exploitation of lower castes continues under the garb of paternal ties.
Like the caste system, this system has become a source of suppression, exploitation and discrimination and Social Exclusion. Oscar Lewis has pointed out in his study of Jajmani system in Rampur village, whereas in the past it was based on personal relationship, it has now become an instrument of exploitation of kamins by jajmans.
2. Feeling of Superiority and Inferiority:
In this system, the kamins are considered low whereas the jajmans are placed high. This has resulted in social inequality and feeling of superiority and inferiority in the minds of both Jajman and kamin. Because this system is based on heredity, the kamin cannot take other Job or occupation and the advantage of latest scientific developments to improve his economic condition.
This system has resulted in lower economic standard of the kamins. They are treated as inferior. They are sometimes exploited and abused by the Jajmans. They become helpless before the money power of their Jajmans. This is a system which is based on the sense of high and low.
3. Impediment to Occupational and Social Mobility:
Jajmani system has stood on the way of occupational mobility and resulted in lowering economic standard of the kamins. This system is hereditary, so there is no possibility of changing the occupation. In this way the system has given rise to rigidity in social mobility. The conditions of the kamins remain miserable because of their economic weaknesses.
4. Supported by Caste System:
Caste system is the basis of jajmani system.It gives validity to jammani relationship. So this system suffers from all the evils of caste system. Dr. Majumdar found in his study that the conditions of kamins are miserable and the upper castes subject them to great harassment and trouble.
They are ill-treated by the Jajmans. This system leads to widespread discrimination. There is exploitation and coercion. Dumont has pointed out that this system has to satisfy all those who enter into jajmani relationships.
5. Effect of Transport and Communication:
Due to rapid expansion of transport and communication, the system is in a decline. Because it has made easy for the kamins to seek job or other occupation outside their village. Now the kamins are no longer compelled to do the Job of Jajmans.
6. Impact of Social Reform Movement:
Due to the impact of social reform movements, the suppressed castes get benefits. They try to rise up in the social ladder. Various religious reform movements, like Arya Samaj have produced one of the greatest setback to the Jajmani system.

Team to readjust to new Mission League

After finishing 13-17 overall and 2-6 in a revamped Mission League last year that added Marymount and Marlborough, the varsity girls' volleyball team is looking to improve on its record and finish atop the league this year.
Despite losing seven former seniors to graduation, the squad has the leadership it needs to succeed with captains Zoe Baxter '16 and Josephine Treadwell '16. It is also developing young talent like freshman Chloe Mueller '19.
"High school is such that we are going to have turnover every year," Volleyball Program Head Adam Black said. "We've lost some key seniors in graduation, but we have this young crop stepping up who we think is pretty hungry. There are some new kids on varsity who are excited to make their mark, and that's part of the excitement."
The team has been practicing since July 27, and many of the players have competed for their respective club teams over the summer as well.
"We've been working for a while now; the preseason has been about working together, developing fundamentals as a team and being a really cohesive unit," Setter Sophia van Iderstine '17 said. "We will be really prepared for the season to come."
The main emphasis in practice has been working on fundamentals to transition to a more offensive playing style that suits the team best.
"We are working hard at the fundamentals of the game, skill and technique, and spending time working on the things we believe are the most important: serving and passing," Black said.
Although the Wolverines are looking forward to every game, the players are particularly excited about playing Mission League rivals, and the coaches are well aware.
"We're most looking forward to playing our rivals, Notre Dame and Marymount," Treadwell said. "We know a lot of the players at Marymount, so we're looking forward to playing them."
Even though the team has great expectations for the upcoming season with a new crop of talent and veteran leadership, it knows that success on the court starts with success in practice.
"We have a clear vision for this season," Baxter said. "We're trying to do all the little things, so day by day, we're trying to improve at least 1 percent. We want to win league, but we realize that it's about working really hard and coming to the gym really focused."
Assistant coach Ryan Casey said that the team is striving to make every play count and put in the maximum amount of effort possible, in turn making the team more exciting to watch.
Approaching the start of the squad's season, there is a sense of excitement among players and coaches about taking another crack at the new and improved Mission League.
"I think there's going to be excitement from our team every time we step on the court," Black said. "There's excitement in the gym right now about getting better, there's excitement in the gym about working hard and there's excitement in the gym right now about playing with and for each other. And I think that excitement is going to be contagious for our community."

High Stakes: Meet the Players
The ability to problem-solve effectively is very important to Austin* '16, which is why he discussed current events every week...


This past June 20-22, I adventured to Vegas to finally meet the talented Artisans on Fire team.
"Artisans on Fire is a cannabis focused content production agency in downtown Las Vegas dedicated to handcrafting video & film, managing and generating social media content, and consulting dispensaries, growers, & cannabis entrepreneurs looking to enhance their brand."
This means that they work with lots of different cannabis companies in the industry (check out their incredible portfolio here), giving me the opportunity to do a little bit of work for a bunch of different brands.
The biggest challenge, of course, was the fact that I can't have actual cannabis product here. So instead of sending product, the team simply sends me empty packaging or "blanks" to photograph — the audience can never tell the difference! All those Cheeba Chews? Actually Hershey's candies. Which I was crazy thankful for the day my dog snuck onto the scene of a photoshoot and stole one out from under me!
Working remotely has been going well, but it is always nice to meet the people you're pouring a little bit of your heart and soul out for.
Below I have a mixture of work from the Vegas trip and remote work for you to browse through. I'd love to hear your thoughts about the different brands and images in the comments!
Inyo provides quality medicine to patients in a safe and comfortable environment. With a focus on wholesome living and food, their clean branding revolves around bright pops of color like the ones found in their logo paired with clean white and wood textured backgrounds. There are two different aesthetics we were trying to capture in the Inyo images, the first being a very simple and bright style, and the second being more luxury, gourmet-feeling — both with bright pops of color.
The first round of these images was done inside Inyo; we arrived at 6:30 AM to have a solid four hours before customers started showing up to photograph products. In the cannabis industry, dispensaries can't just give away product to their photographers to even borrow for the afternoon — everything has to be strictly controlled, and that means if we want pictures of the product, we either needed to buy it or photograph it on-site. Artisans on Fire did purchase a few products so that we could have some things to photograph back at the studio — and I even got to bring a few of the empty boxes home to photograph back in Missouri!
When we got to the dispensary, the first thing we did was unload all the props. 2/3 of my luggage had been carefully wrapped dishes, trinkets, and other odds-and-ends, so I unpacked everything and laid it out so that I could see what was at my disposal. After spending so much time with my own props, it was amazing to have some new things to work with that Artisans on Fire had brought in!!
For these more "simply styled" images, we used a large piece of white foam core along with brightly colored poster boards to create the backgrounds you see here. We had a tripod set up to capture the flat lays on the table, and Derek of Artisans on Fire brought me product from the back to style and photograph, rapid-fire style. With only 4 hours, we were working as fast as possible — and captured a total of 82 images in that tiny chunk of time!!
None of the images here are cropped, since Artisans on Fire often lays extra text on top of the images for the Inyo Instagram, as shown in the examples below.
To juxtapose the simply styled images, we spent the entire second day cooking up gourmet meals with @mybalancedish. The goal here was to capture more texture and depth in the images, so we used backgrounds like large floor tiles and wooden cutting boards with moodier lighting to achieve this aesthetic. The pops of color in these photos came from the fresh fruits and veggies, along with a few small, brightly-colored items here and there.
Thrive is one of the most unique dispensaries I have seen thus far. Their aesthetic is an eclectic mixture of imagery from urban, hip hop culture with clean type and trendy, hipster-esque display styling.
The goal with Thrive flat lays is to showcase a moment in the day of a potential patient — in an organized way. These images gave me the opportunity to use some of my more "cool" and "high-end" looking items, particularly my gold props!
When it came to photographing the shirts, I was able to enlist a good friend of mine who met their "aesthetic requirements" to model for me. I'd still consider myself new at "lifestyle" photography, but the shoot went really well and I ended up loving these!
I had the unexpected pleasure of meeting one of the owners of Deep Roots Harvest while I was in Vegas and had the opportunity to discuss how his business is still affected by negative stereotypes surrounding cannabis. It reminded me again that this is an ongoing issue — even in legal states!! The mission of this brand is to educate people about the science behind cannabis being used for health while providing quality, craft cannabis. With Deep Roots Harvest, the goal is to keep things looking very natural and active, encouraging people to get up and move!
First, let me just say that the first time I heard of the legendary Cheeba Chews, I never would have dreamed in a million years that I would be shooting for them. What a trip!!
As any creative knows, sometimes things don't hit the mark of what the client is looking for. I attempted some shots for Green and Gold, but it wasn't quite what they were looking for, so I decided to focus that energy on Deep Roots Harvest and Thrive, instead. Nonetheless, I really loved some of these images and wanted to share them with you!


the Brotherhood to seek to subvert the authorities.
made him willing to slaying, commit Acts of the Apostless of sabotage, to rip off, and commit self-destruction.
but instead to carry through their responsibility to Big Brother.
conveyed more defects of the Party.
and we know this from the clip he said he hated Big Brother to he loved Big Brother.
the minute he was encephalon washed and all that remained was his shadow.
