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.

Article from The Guardian: "The Super Rich: Six Things to Know "

    America's super rich: six things to know Our new series, Big Money , is investigating the social and political clout of the super-rich. Natalie Jones and Alastair Gee in San Francisco, California I s America an oligarchy? That was the conclusion of a 2014 study by two prominent US political scientists , who argued that the influence of economic elites and big business far outstrips that of ordinary citizens. In their view, America is less a bastion of representative democracy than a nation trammeled by the desires of the hyper-wealthy. Others have suggested that their vision is too bleak. But the outsize economic, social and political clout of the super-wealthy in America is beyond debate - and ripe for scrutiny. That’s why we’ve launched our newest series, Big Money. Radical inequality The three richest people in the US - Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffet - own more than the bottom half of the country combined. ...

" Un Temps Pour Les Rêveurs Et Les Créateurs" A translation in French by Nathalie Diss; On Kindle in French

A Time For Dreamers Written by Nilofar Mehrin   Translated by Nathalie Diss 1998 Via Fiesolana , Florence ----------------------------------------   Je parlais avec William W. un ami   qui a enseigné dans une université américaine à Florence. Il était un concepteur de sites Web et avait créé de nombreux sites Web pour des artistes qu’il connaissait. Il avait vu mon studio et mes cartes1 et avait dit: «Pourquoi n'écrivez-vous pas une histoire pour aller avec vos cartes?»   J'ai toujours voulu écrire une telle histoire, mais j'ai fini par écrire un poème intitulé "là-bas » en angais.    Puis en 2009 j'ai fait une animation de quatre minute.

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...
