Jewel heist at the Louvre, France

What we worship: Monas over mountains

(Channel 4 News) No one cared about the Mona Lisa until someone stole it in 1911. Then it became famous, was recovered, became subjected to the Mandela Effect, and grew in fame every year since, until an entire wall then room became dedicated to it. When we visited, the rooms were beautiful, even the halls were grand, but the mob in front of this one painting was ridiculous. At that time it could still be photographed, but taking a photo of the photographers seemed more appropriate.

(CNN) "An amateur move," says a jewel thief of Louvre heist

Now it has a shield and guards, and goodness knows it's probably not the original, just a forgery with the real thing in a safe somewhere. The Louvre's security is behind the times, possibly because Pres. Macron's husband (and the couple's ridiculous fight with American Candace Owens about gender) and the riots in the streets are sucking all the oxygen and discretionary funds that should be applied to keeping the imperial booty and irreplaceable treasures in this pyramidal repository safe.

Peace breaks out in Cambodia/Thailand?

Buddhist Thailand and Cambodia at war

Have Israel and the CIA's crimes in Gaza made war the norm? 

Thailand Cambodia War Timeline Explained?

(AiTelly) July 25, 2025: UNITED STATES. The roots of the Thailand–Cambodia border crisis stretch deep into the colonial past, when the Franco-Siamese treaties of the early 1900s left boundaries ill-defined and susceptible to later dispute.

• Thai means "free" as it was never formally colonized by Western powers, though Japan intruded during WW II to cross The Bridge on the River Kwai (The Bridge over the River Kwai)

Tensions simmered for decades, especially around ancient Buddhist temples that dot the border. Among these, Prasat Ta Muen Thom and the areas near Preah Vihear became focal points for competing national claims, bearing not just strategic significance but also the weight of cultural pride.

(DW) Could US and China become involved in neighborly dispute?

• What's the real motive beyond the manufactured pretext? Gas or oil reserves, greed of a corrupt Thai government, greed for tourist destinations? This is not a religious dispute but an economic one, according to one Thai American Wisdom Quarterly spoke with. It is reminiscent of Israel's greed for Gaza's underground resources, preferring to let people believe it is all about ideology, national security, and a biblical dispute rather than what it really is, genocide for economic advantage.

As the year 2025 began, a sense of unease hovered along the frontier. On May 28, the fragile calm shattered. Gunfire erupted at the Emerald Triangle, where Thai and Cambodian soldiers exchanged shots.

The clash caused the lives of one Cambodian soldier, and the Blame Game began immediately, with each nation accusing the other of provocation. By June 7, the rhetoric gave way to visible preparations for confrontation.

Thailand bolstered its border positions, simultaneously leveling accusations of provocations against Cambodian forces and civilians. Throughout June and July, the border region grew ever more volatile. Spasms of minor clashes flared up, border crossings shut down, and the movement of civilians became increasingly restricted.

Military alerts were raised on both sides. The crucial turning point arrived on July 24, 2025. Before dawn, Thai troops reported the presence of Cambodian drones buzzing near Prasat Ta Muen Thom.

A patrol of six armed Cambodian soldiers soon appeared at the perimeter of a Thai base, setting nerves on edge.

Around 6:30 am, shots rang out once again. The chaos of combat bred confusion and recrimination: Cambodia accused Thailand of launching an unprovoked assault, while Thailand claimed Cambodian soldiers had fired first near the temple.

The conflict escalated with frightening speed. By 9:40 Thailand reported a salvo of B M-21 rockets arcing from Cambodian positions toward Prasat Don Tuan, their impact threatening nearby civilian neighborhoods.

Barely ten minutes later, the violence spilled to the vicinity of Ta Kwai Temple, where further clashes erupted. At 10:58 am, the smoldering border ignited fully F-16 fighter jets from the Royal Thai Air Force thundered overhead, bombing Cambodian military positions at Chong An Ma.

Thai officials declared that key Cambodian command posts had been destroyed. As the day wore on, the fighting sprawled along several kilometers of the contested boundary. Artillery thundered, rockets exploded, and both armies unleashed heavy weaponry, transforming the frontier into a battleground.

Macron's male wife, Trump-Epstein docs

Candace Owens EXPLOSIVE take on Macron's "wife" will blow minds

(The Jimmy Dore Show) July 7, 2024: There is something very suspicious going on with French President Emmanuel Macron and his male wife. For as long as Macron has been in politics, rumors and suspicion have swirled around his elderly wife (Mr. Michel Trogneux) and the question of whether she used to be a man, specifically her alleged brother. That’s certainly what online American commentator Candace Owens believes, and she even made a $100,000 bet with Piers Morgan over the issue. Jimmy Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Owens about her suspicions as well as her supportive evidence. Candace Owens on Twitter: twitter.com/realcandaceo.

Macron abused by LGBT trans partner?

He's quite aggressive sometimes. I mean she. I meant she. She is a she, not a he.

The beautiful lady on the left was born as the rugged gentleman on the right: same person.

.

Joan Rivers figured it out and learned the hard way that she is not allowed to out transgender homosexuals like Michael ("Michelle") Obama, the husband of former Pres. Barry Obama [no matter how overwhelming the evidence is]. Rivers was disappeared for doing so.

• [This man, Michel, was Manny Macron's drama teacher when he was 15 and he was 40; he groomed him, and they decided to marry as man and wife, and s/he has since groomed Manny into power.]

Candace Owens EXPOSES Brigitte Macron as a biological MAN in video

Two or three guys standing for photo op w/ Mel

Now Candace Owens is asking for trouble for saying the obvious, which French insiders already knew and laughed at Americans for caring or being surprised, that Jean Michel Trogneux (Mrs. "Brigitte" Macron [who is 24 or 32 years older than Pres. Macron] with the same name as his husband Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frederic Macron) was born a man, gay husband, teacher, and former groomer of an underage future French president, a boy named Emmanuelle Macron. Brigitte was first outed by French journalists, not American Candace Owens, who are the primary sources presenting their evidence after their investigation.

Gender's just a social construct!

It's true, but does that mean there is no biological sex or no basis for biological sexual assignment at birth? Not all people are born male or female (because some may be born hermaphroditic, asexual, or increasingly commonly as ambiguous).

Yet, the vast majority still are born with sexual difference, NOT all of which can be attributed to and explained away by "nurture" or how we raise males in our society. Therefore, there are at least three genders (male, female, and pandaka or everything else from crossing over to bisexual to ambiguous to trans to kathoey to whatever). Strangely, as much as it may upset the LGBTQIA+ community and allies, are there lesbians?

Gay grooming, child molestation, transition

French President Emmanuel Macron's "wife" caught shoving him in face

No, right? Because one would have to be a woman, and there's no such thing really as calling a person a woman, but asking a person what that person FEELS like or WANTS to be, that would mean that two very butch men could SAY they are women and instantly be elevated to the status of "lesbian" and be allowed into the exclusive all-female private club. For to exclude them would be illegal, immoral, and unconscionable sexism, right?

Recently, there was a poignant video of two gay males pulled over by a very nice policeman, asking to see the driver's license. The driver is [identifying as] a pet cat...until the officer explains the consequences of being a cat at the wheel of a moving vehicle, subject to being impounded like a common pet without tags, involuntary vaccination shots, and so on, and the car towed. The partner does not want to have to go get his submissive "pet" [bondage slave] out of impound and be fined $70. It's an amusing video short as it is left up in the air what they decide and what happens in the end.

Our beautiful new Black American Pope

KKK meeting? No, "Holy Week" in Catholic Province of Zamora, Spain (Cristo Yacente 2014)

Is Pope Leo XIV really Black?

(NYTN) May 16, 2025: Is the new pope Black? Some folks are even saying he’s Louisiana Creole. We’re unpacking where that idea came from, what it really means, and why it struck such a nerve. [Is this Peter the Roman, given that he's part Italian?]

No, never, unless he's a Creole who passes.

Come join me on a new docu-series that explores identity, racial tensions in the South during the 20th century, and the unique experiences of those who historically called Louisiana home. My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life I have romanticized Louisiana.

Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born. Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana -- although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask -- who was Lola really? Who were we?

Are all Catholics "Forgiven," Alanis?

Alanis "Forgiven" (w/ Foo Fighter Taylor Hawkins, The Prince's Trust Masters of Music 1996

It's good to be Catholic, but just for Mardi Gras

"You know how us Catholic girls can be," states Catholic Canadian cool hippie gal Alanis Morrissette, who became famous in the U.S. when she released Jagged Little Pill.

The CD had hit after hit, particularly "You Oughta Know." "Ironic" is dumb. "Head Over Feet" is so heartfelt. The seventh single should have been "Forgiven." It was a long run with millions of copies sold, making it double diamond (rather than mere gold or platinum).

Her ironic sass and probing irreverence are cool

How this song didn't get promoted, we'll never know. It's like P!nk, who's not that good but heck a popular. She had one pretty good song no one seemed to think that much of about her dysfunctional family.

"We all had our reasons to be there. We all had a thing or two to learn," Morrissette and Ballard explain. "My brothers, they never went blind for what they did, but I may as well have. In the name of the Father, the Skeptic, and the Son, I had one more stupid question.... If I jump in this fountain, will I be forgiven?"

Mardi Gras pre-Lent party: Fat Tuesday

Not Rosary beads! That's tomorrow. Today we want cheap shiny plastic beads. Throw 'em!

Rio Carnival LIVE | Spectacular Samba shows, Rio De Janeiro Carnival 2025 Parade | Brasil | N18G

Mardi Gras, Carnival, Ash Wednesday, Lent

Show you what for beads? - No, I want to give you a Rosary. Show me where you'd wear it.

Ash Wednesday tika makes one better: Be good.

Mardi Gras (lit. "Fat Tuesday" or Pancake Day) is a Christian holiday, celebrated mainly by the Catholic variety. It is a popular cultural phenomenon that dates back thousands of years to pagan European spring fertility rites.

• Fertility rites as rites of passage
• Catholic Rosary or Hindu Mala prayer beads?
• Sacred vibhuti or forehead trash ash?

Better beads on Mardi Gras for a better world

Also known as Carnival like the cruise line, Carnaval in Brazil, and Karneval in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, it’s celebrated in many countries around the world — mainly those with large Roman Catholic populations — on the day before the religious fasting season of Lent begins.

Brazil (Rio), Italy (Venice), and North America (New Orleans) play host to some of the holiday’s most famous public festivities, drawing tens of thousands of tourists and revelers every year.

  Take ashes seriously like a sadhu

  Holy ash (bhasma, vibhuti) ash is the sign that adorns the forehead of Hindus (and Catholics at the start of Lent). Used by Shaivites and the others used to mean God appearing as a supreme flame, now reduced to a cross or X. Naturally, this holy symbol was appropriated by the religion of "universalism" (catholic in its original meaning) for world conquest, which went around the planet taking all manner of symbols and customs, depositing them in Rome, putting them on display in the Vatican as a sign of worldwide conquest, and then celebrating them and imposing them on others like patriarchal and strictly hierarchal religion. India is also the source of the Holy Rosary (rudraksha), the 108 or 54 wooden bead mala used by meditators doing japa (repetition of a God's name, or mantra recitation, or a prayer to steady the mind). templesinindiainfo.com

When is Mardi Gras?

LIVE: Parades in New Orleans ahead of Mardi Gras mean wild times in the streets for good Catholics

Cremation pyre ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Mardi Gras is traditionally celebrated on “Fat Tuesday,” the Tuesday before holy Ash Wednesday (the day Catholics get tilakas (forehead ashes) like good Hindus, and the start of Lent, when we fast and get tempted by Satan like Saint Issa (Jesus) did that time in the desert. So if we fast and behave well, the Devil will come to tempt us like he did in the Judean desert.

Lent is for penance-tapas to purify oneself

In many areas, however, Mardi Gras has evolved into a week-long festival of excess and debauchery. Mardi Gras 2025 will fall on Tuesday.

That's March 4th this year, which is Gina Marie's birthday, when she marches fourth along with everyone else because she didn't march first, second, third, or so on.

Mardi Gras: Indulge before sacrifice - blended French traditions to find Rex

What is Mardi Gras?

Father, I have sinned. - Come confess to me.

Mardi Gras is a tradition that dates back thousands of years to pagan celebrations of spring and fertility, including the raucous Roman festivals of Saturnalia and Lupercalia.

When missionary Christianity arrived in Rome, religious leaders decided to appropriate and co-op these popular local pagan traditions into their new imperial faith, an easier task than trying to abolish them altogether.

• If the authorities tried that, they would have to deal with religious revolts, Bacchanalian backlashes, violent uprisings, and widespread scofflaw celebrations alongside destruction of churches as seen in Norwegian black metal vandalism. It would be like trying to put an end to American tailgate parties and post-game riots and football hooliganism in the U.S.

I'll be good for Lent (La Penitente)

As a result, the excess and debauchery of the Mardi Gras season became a prelude to Lent, the 40 days of fasting and penance (atonement for sin) between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday.

Along with Christianity, Mardi Gras spread from Rome to other European countries, including France, Germany, Spain, and England. More

French pole vaulter gets porn offer

Hun, we don't need any more vases.

The Olympics are a nasty business, even back in ancient Greek days. The Greeks came up with the gymnasium, from gymnos or "nude," a nasium (training facility) for nudity, where older married men went to:

• ogle younger single men,
• form gay relationships with them involving pederasty,
• stand around naked in front of each other while oiling their bodies,
• training or socializing, pursuing intellectual and physical hobbies,
• getting rub downs, showing off wealth and status, and what not.

Bi Greek bearded man kisses boy (Louvre)

We really just watch to see cute athletes in leotards and form fitting bikinis, tights, and swimsuits jumping around, trying to make their country proud. China was No. 1 in Paris, but no American could say so. Patriotism depends on blind devotion. And the Chinese may have been cheating by juicing with steroids, rumor has it.

The original Olympics Games were, it is said, played in birthday suits -- naked, nude, without clothes. No females got to play, and they probably weren't allowed in the audience either. One is reminded of the gay hit song It was a Greek gay fest.

What went wrong?

Does no one think it ironic that he has a wrap-around snake tattoo on his bicep?

If you don't reign it in, that snake will ruin you.

Aug. 6, 2024 (12:05 pm) "When one door closes, another one opens," it is said. Ammirati was left disappointed after his “big” slug, shlomo, shank, pocket pool stick cost him an Olympic medal.

The French pole vaulter went viral losing over the weekend after failing to clear the bar because his knees and crotch got in the way — eliminating him from competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
