A l’occasion de la fête des jardins, j’ai pu visiter pour la première fois les jardin du musée Albert Kahn et comme c’est le premier dimanche du mois et que donc les musée nationaux étaient gratuits, je suis retourné au musée d’Orsay voir la magnifique exposition sur le peintre Lovis Corinth…

Le musée Albert Kahn de Boulogne, situé juste à coté du terminus de la ligne 10 du métro, comporte différents jardins. Un jardin français (poiriers, pommiers, roseraies), un jardin anglais (avec un petit décor de pierre un peu chinois), un jardin japonais traditionnel avec des maisons populaires (民家, minka, minjia en chinois) et un jardin japonais contemporain. Ainsi que plusieurs mini-forêts : Forêt Vosgienne, forêt bleue (les arbres sont choisis pour leurs couleurs tirant vers le bleu), et une forêt à moitié sauvage, où les fleurs sont laissées libres de pousser comme elles l’entendent.

D’après ce que nous ont décrit les guides, Albert Kahn était un Juif Alsacien, exilé d’Alsace lorsque celle-ci a été prise par la Prusse. Il a fondé sa fortune en utilisant la main d’œuvre esclave d’Afrique du Sud dans les mines d’or, il est devenu banquier, se constituant une fortune colossale. Cela lui a permis de voyager et de s’ouvrir au monde et de s’éloigner des livres scolaires de son époque enseignant une hiérarchie des races. Il a alors décidé de montrer les différentes cultures du monde pour cesser cette vision raciste des différentes cultures. Il reprend donc les idées des lumières et de la révolution française, un peu oubliées en France à la fin du XIXe (bon, c’est pas tout à fais vrai puisque ca suit un peu les idées internationalistes de Marx et de ses inspirateurs comme Proudhon et la Commune de Paris).

Ayant financé l’effort de guerre japonais contre la Russie, pour quelques îles du nord de l’Archipel, le Japon l’aurait remercié. Il s’inspire alors avec quelques décénies de décalage du japonisme (passion des arts japonais) qui avait inspiré le peintre Claude Monet pour son jardin de Giverny (ils étaient membres de la même société de passionnés de jardins), Gauguin ou les Nabis, après la 1ere invasion du Japon par les USA en 1853 et l’ouverture forcée de l’Ère Meiji qui en suivit.

Il finit ruiné, la bourse sa monte et sa descend, crise des années 30. Le département de la Seine saisie son jardin et sa maison pour rembourser ses dettes, mais décidé de le conserver et de le laisser habiter a cet endroit. Il meurt au moment de l’arrivée des allemands à Paris, lors de la seconde guerre mondiale, les guides n’ont pas précisé si il était mort de vieillesse ou par les allemands pour ses origines.

Il a financé pendant sa période humaniste, des chercheurs, les envoyant aux quatre coins du monde prendre des échantillons de plante et des autochromes (plaques photographiques couleur inventées par les frère lumières). Ils ont notament photographié les murailles de Pékin (dont il ne reste que certaines portes aujourd’hui et la vie des chinois sous la dynastie Qing de la minorité Mandchoue et les envahisseur internationaux.

Excellente exposition Lovis Corinth au musée d’Orsay> (Affiche de l’expo)

Cette exposition sur Lovis Corinth, un Prussien (plutôt de la partie intégrée à la Russie maintenant), ayant cotoyé des impressionnistes à Paris. Entre impressionnisme et expressionisme, avec pas mal de réalisme, reprenant des scènes des mythologies grecques, romaines et chrétiennes, les détournant avec humour. Des portraits, des nus, des scène de différents métiers, beaucoup d’autoportraits et quelques paysages dans sa période expressioniste. Touches très fortes, magnifique travail de couleur, beaucoup d’humour et de sensibilité, une expo à aller voir. J’ai tellement apprécié que j’y suis allé 2 fois et j’aurais bien pris le catalogue de l’exposition (énorme pavé), si l’impression quadrichromique pouvait permettre un rendu parfait des couleurs.

Un bon résumé de la situation catastrophique d’une partie de Charlie hebdo et Arte aujourd’hui…
Heureusement, il ne sont pas seuls dans ces instances..
Le conformisme présenté comme anticonformisme

Tant qu’on est dans les mauvaises habitudes de l’« information » dite grand public,…
L’opinion publique n’existe pas de Pierre Bourdieu.

The religious communities from Himalaya decided to work together to push invaders out of their mountains.

Dalaï lama (that forgot his old friendship with Chairman Mao) and Oussama Ben Laden (still Bush familly friend), both (at least) former agents of CIA, say in a tape recorded speech, they want to work together to free Afghanistan and Tibet from invaders to form a new state that could be called “Tibenistan” or “Tibestan” (name is not definitive).
These two countries could be grouped on a free exchange zone (including tax free relics exchanges) and peacefull theocratic country. These two neighbors Asian countries, both former British colonies (with Iraq and Iran) at the begining of the XXe century both strategic for their resources and their position on the middle-east don’t want anymore violent invasions from far west countries or anyone. Their knowledge in mountain asymmetric warfare could be more powerful with common weaponry development and strategic troops movements.

This is a typical west himalayan fish, with beard and skinhead thinking to these two religions of these countries and a well known orange color.

Lot of occidental mainstream news report pacific manifestation and brutal repression by police/army in Lhasa. But foreign witness and pictures doesn’t correspond to these informations. Some picture of repression in Nepal was wrongly used as Lhasa pictures. Most violent rebellion against other civils, rebels lynching Hui muslims minorities and Han biggest nationality in China was censored by occidental news. What is the goal of these manipulation ? The confusion between this violent riots and habits of former bloody, slavery and theocratic Dalaï Lama and truly pacific Indians movements like non-violent democratic Gandhi is used to made a confusion in Occidental point of view on Asia. In Canada some Native Americans make pacific protest against European invasion and the destruction of their territory for 2010 Olympic games no mainstream media noticed this.

With this kind of information occidental newspaper discredit itself and give more confidence to chinese newspaper than themselves.

Here are some videos about the riots from several sources :

* Probably police surveillance camera taking street scene
* Amator camera
* Quiet police arrestation on Euronews “Nocomment”
* Full documentary of the event, about one week after by english speaking central Chinese canal, CCTV-9, showing an overview of the events PART I - PART II.
* Quick review of occidental fakes.

Nederland blog giving several newspaper references of foreign witness in some english writting newspaper

As long I was on Tibet plateau in September, I seen monks practicing freely their religion, and their high traditional medical knowledge. The Zang Tibetan writing and other Tibet minorities religions (Naxi Dongba, Hui Muslims), writing and languages was still used everywhere, on streets panels, on shops. Zang Tibetan is considered as one of the five main languages in China since several centuries, lot of old stone monuments, are writted in the 5 scripts (Han (national today chinese writing), Uigur (arabic script for turkophone languages), Mongol (specific writing), Tibetan (Indian script adapted to tibetan language) and Mandchou (mongol script adapted to mandchou language)), the first unification of Tibet and other part of China was under Mongolian Yuan dynasty government.

The actual occidental newspaper don’t give enough information to understand the situation, only show a stupid and Manichean view (the good and the bad) that no historian can accept. China give more deep information of the subject that give more clues to understand the problem. The source of the riots are probably more complex anyway. The west of the China don’t have the development of the East coasts, the incredibly fast growing of China started mostly in big ports like Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hongkong and come slowly to the West.
The west development is not only on Tibet plateau, but on the whole west, from southwest of Yunnan, where Dai (thailand originated mostly bouddhists) minorities lives to Northwest of Xinjiang where leave Muslims turkophones Uigurs. Accusing central government of willing to conquest more the Tibet is totally stupid, which country have a government that don’t want to develop its whole area to facilitate communications and transportation ? If they don’t do that they will be accused to let these part of the country of poverty and anaphalbetism and if they do, of expansionism. This is not a military expansion, against minorities, as there is positive discrimination for minorities in China. There is no accusation against any ‘ethnic group’ as we call, they prefer to speak about nationalities. The independence, was done by English during their regional colonisation, including Irak, Iran, Afghanistan, India(actual India and Pakistan), Thailand, HongKong, and some other parts of China (as Beijing itself) at the beginning of the XXe century.

Mainland China and Taiwan
The chinese Guomindang party won the saturday elections in Taiwan island by more than 17% before the former Independentist party, continuing the two years started two parts of China reunification with special autonomous status for Taiwan. The flag of the Republic of China (official name of Taiwan island country), is the flag of the Guomindang, that controlled about the whole China until Mao and the liberation army (or 8-1) replace it to People Republic of China on mainland in 1949. The reunification is mostly for economic interest as biggest part of Taiwan exportation (about 30%) are to mainland and most of Taïwan products are manufactured in Mainland. The new president asked to mailand government to respect the tibetan protesters prisonners (mostly mens and women from about 20 to 30 years old after mainland gvt) else he will boycott the Olympic games. For Guomindang, Taiwan and mainland china (including Tibet) are one unique country. He didn’t recognised the Communist Chinese Party as mainland government untli few years ago.

A Guomindang representative already signed in april 2006 mutual agreement on import/export and reunification, I hazardously seen it in Yonghe gong Lama temple/monastery, the major Lama giving him the traditional tibetan scarf.
Taiwan is more Chinese traditionalist than mainland himself. They still use older Hanzi (han nationality characters), that was simplified in mainland and partially in Japan too.

Updated after the results
A new national referendum will be submited to the Venezuela population that will deeply change some rules of the democracy :
* Presidential mandat will change from 5 to 7 years as in France 10 years ago, and could be renewed unlimited times if people want it, as in most of European countries, but with the ability for venezuelian people (as today) to still revoke the president by a mi-mandat referendum, which is not the case in Europeans countries.
* The people power of decision will be increased by new local popular commities, that will counterbalance state legal power and can ask for reforms by referendums.
* Worktime will be reduced to 6 hours a day and 36 hours a week, near from European work reforms from few years ago. I think this will allow more people to share work, as it should be in Europe if it was really applied, or reduce economic cross
* New kind of privacy will appear, this will give at least 5 kind of legal privacy (private, public, communal, social, collective)
* The agriculture process will be more restrictive to protect the ecosystem (it’s already more ecologically protective than in most industrialized countries). Latifundium will be forbidden.
* The national investors will have more abilities than foreign ones.
* There will be more social protection for independent workers.
* The army will be used more as civilian resources (army camps are already used as hospital at place where hospital is to small for some chirurgical operations or there is no hospital). In Venezuela, hospital is 100 % free for everyone, national people and foreigners.
* Universities directions should be now chosen by population too.
* The central bank that was totally independent will be partially dependent of government choices for economic choices.

Everyone was able to participate to the project (and lot of people particpated, that’s an example of the will of democracy of the human being ;) ).

Anyway some think than the process to choose the changes in the new constitution was too quick (3 months), students made strike to ask for a longer period before the referendum, allowing them to study deeper the changes and be able to critic them with objectivity as every laws should be.

I just seen today a well documented article about the will for some philosophers and politicians (as Robespierre, Varlet and Marquis de Sade (not well know for his political works) in his “Idée sur le mode de la sanction des Lois”) in the french revolution to make direct democracy, thinking any decision should be choosen by people too, and not only some elected representatives. This was not accepted by a mostly aristocratic government.

A better analysis of the situation and laws changes discussed in this referendum

Update here
This was rejected by a little majority of the voters (about 1,15 % of diff between yes and no) with a large abstention (45 %). Acceptation of the results by the government is another proof of democracy in a country where the government is pointed as dictator by most media of the ¥€$. In Europe, the European constitution largely rejected by Frenchs and Dutchs will be inconstitutionnaly forced by France UMP (Sarkonabot) & PS (Royale Canine) parties. In France, a part of the population started a petition (class action like) to block their illegal dictatorial action. Already more than 36.000 signatures in this petition.
