my comment ; The Man In The High Castle" film

my comment;

They have made so many stories out of Philip K. Dicks stories ....  it sets one to wonder about what is happeneing today ....
 If you imagine a successful secular world which is  against the monoteistic Abramic religions ..... and specifically what is happening with the Uighur population today ....  you may get my drift.....


I read the book called "The Man In The High Castle"  some time ago ......   written by Philip Kindred Dick  in which the recent history of the second world war is reversed,  and  following on that train of thought you can imagine a world governed by the efficient Orientals who have managed to take over  whole  civilizations and are governing it ........   Chinese style.

 The masses are kept in their place by facial recognition technologies and other Stasi methods; and surveillance is everywhere,  the only thing that comes in the way of world government is "faith" in a superior intelligence which gives hope of a better future ......    we know  this story well .... it has happened in Egypt with the prophet  Moses and in   Rome with the early Christians.

 Comment:  I once found a bag near a shopping Mall in Paris ....  It looked like a girl owned it because it was full of makeup bits and pieces and there were a lot of cards in it , one of which belonged to a buisness school and this had her name on it.  The student was from Madagascar and i was sighing to myself when i called the school and the receptionist wasnt helpful in finding the person i was looking for.  I went to the consolate or Embassy one morning , spending money on a Taxi in order to give the bag to a safe person working there.  The consolate reminded me of  consolates or embassies representing very poor countries ...   .... where is  all the money and wealth going ? SAMBAVA, Madagascar — Bright moonlight reflected off broad banana leaves, but it was still hard to see the blue twine laced through the undergrowth, a tripwire meant to send the unwary tumbling to the ground. “This is the way the thieves come,” sai...

Abigail Heyman’s Groundbreaking Images of Women’s Lives (from The New Yorker)

Photo Booth Abigail Heyman’s Groundbreaking Images of Women’s Lives By Naomi Fry November 1, 2019 “Houma Teenage Beauty Contest,” 1971. Photographs by Abigail Heyman In a two-page spread featured early on in “ Growing up Female ,” a photography book by Abigail Heyman, from 1974, two black-and-white pictures are laid out side by side. The left-hand photo shows a reflection of a little girl, from the shoulders up, gazing at herself in a bathroom mirror. The child, who is perhaps four or five, with dark, wide-set eyes and a pixie haircut, is separated from her likeness by a counter, whose white-tiled expanse is littered with a variety of beauty products: perfume bottles, creams, and soaps. These quotidian markers of feminine routine are accompanied by an element of fantasy; gazing at herself, the little girl stretches a slinky into a makeshift tiara atop her head. Seemingly mesmerized by her own image, she is captured at the innoce...
