RSSJeffrey Epstein’s suicide in jail reminded me of the death of Bino Cicogna in 1971. He was an Italian count and businessman, who suffered a nasty bankrupt and escaped to Brazil, where he committed suicide with gas poisoning. At the time a rich and well connected Brazilian man told me that the unrecognizable body that was found may have belonged to some hobo from the slums, and that the real count had plastic surgery and was settling in a new life. Someone in Italy then picked up this legend, but with no proof or confirmation, and it was soon forgotten. But in New York today, can a powerful and well-connected man get some homeless tramp to be hanged in his place and then disappear?
I agree with you, the Pentagon attack is the most significant evidence. We must believe that a whole Boieng 757 went through a 15 feet hole because the impact was so violent that its two big engines just vaporized, but in the official book “Pentagon 9/11”, Historical Office, Office of the Secretary of Defense, Washington D.C. 2007 there is a photo that shows the tire of the front landing gear of a plane with the caption “In A-E Drive, debris and airplane tire remnant”. How can it be that an impact is so violent that two giant engines made of steel and titanium disappear, but a rubber tire survives?
Sorry, no. Philippe d’Orleans, Philippe Egalité, the one who played with equality and that this article refers to, was guillotined in 1793. The one who became king Louis Philippe and escaped to England in 1848 was his son.
Now, mr. Linh Dinh is the best travel writer I read since Ryszard Kapuscinski, but Certaldo is not a village, it is a town of 16,000 people, with a 2,000 years history dating back to Etruscan times, it is the birthplace of Boccaccio and it has more art than all of Albania.
I still say, Wakanda, Douglass Commonwealth sounds better. By the way, I’m not American, I’m Italian, and you wouldn’t believe it but here too they are placing Blacks in all commercials, and as often as possible gay couples too. What strikes me is not the crazy ideas now ravaging America, such as that you should turn a 4 years old boy into a trans, but how those ideas are immediately introduced in Europe, as if there were somebody above pulling the strings.
If mr. Kersey believes that cities named after dead white men will be renamed, the first one to go would be Washington D.C., named after a slaves owner. In that case, as its new name I would suggest Wakanda, which has useful alliteration besides a deep moral significance.
If you allow a foreigner to give advice (although I should mind my own business) this is one proposal to save America. President Trump goes to the Republican Convention and says: “I admit that I am problematic, we all know that it is unfair, but we had four years of lies and derangement, and it was not my fault, but anyway I don’t accept the nomination, I step back and I propose as candidate Tucker Carlson. Please give him a standing ovation”. Then have a live TV debate between Carlson and Biden.
What you say is true, after the Wrights flew, everybody flew, before them there was only talk of flying. And it was news of the Wright accomplishments that generated what was called the rebirth of European aviation. Nobody really flew before them, neither Lilienthal nor Langley nor Whitehead. But all the Wright flights were secret, and it was the Brazilian Santos-Dumont who first flew his 14-bis in public, in Paris, with witnesses. Also, the Wright Flyer did not take off, it was thrown in the air by a catapult, while Santos-Dumont’s plane had wheels, rolled and took off on its own power. So, IMHO, the Brazilians are right, the first man who really flew was Santos-Dumont.
