🦋Dream: on my hands, a blue and red glove on my left, blue and green glove on right...I wake up...

I'm in a hurry going out a doorway...a modern rifle in my arms...an enorormous black fellow, with a companion, blocks my path...a paper, a document, is stuck in the rifle's shell ejection slot...some message, order for me...I wake up...

I'm in a ramshakle house...outside a cart roĺls up...on it, someone coming to help, or hinder...it's a giant grey robot, talking to me...plates on it's face...the cart rolls on its side, the robot stuck...I'm scared of it...I wake up...

✨️Ezra Pound became obsessed with economics, specifically Major C.H. Douglas's Social Credit theory. He believed usury—lending money with high interest—was the root of all modern war and cultural decay. This obsession led him to embrace fascism and broadcast anti-American radio rants during World War II.

✨️The connection between Robert Graves and the term "trade wars" originates from a powerful reflection in his classic 1929 World War I autobiography, Good-Bye to All That. [1, 2, 3]
In the memoir, Graves details how frontline soldiers experienced a profound shift in perspective as the brutal realities of trench warfare dragged on. He famously wrote that frontline combatants "could no longer see the war as one between trade rivals," shifting their understanding away from geopolitical or economic friction—what we would conceptualize today as an escalating trade war—and realizing it was instead a "sacrifice of the idealistic younger generation to the stupidity and self-protective alarm of the elder". [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

A "sinecure" is an office or position that requires little or no work but gives the holder profit, status, or power. The term comes from Latin, meaning "without care." It is not spelled "curio," which means a rare or unusual small object.
Sinecures in History and Modern Times
Historical roots: British and colonial officials often received well-paying government posts that required zero duties, serving as political rewards.

🧐story of John Andre

https://britishheritage.com/art-culture/john-andre-westminsters-unknown-poet

Consequently, nothing came of Washington's suggestion, and after a week's delay, he ordered André's execution--trembling, witnesses reported, as he did so. On 2nd October 1780, André walked to the gallows, asking everyone present 'to bear witness that I meet my fate like a brave man.' As he died, many of the Americans who had gathered to watch the execution cried. In the 1820s, his body was returned to England, to be reburied in Westminster Abbey, in a spot reserved for illustrious poets.

Arnold lived on until 1801. He was buried in the Church of St. Mary's,Battersea, but a clerk entered the deceased's name into the church records incorrectly, so that when the church underwent renovation a century later, workers had no idea whose grave they had opened when they disinterred him and tossed his body into an unmarked common grave, with dozens of other anonymous remains.

🎶Betts up...he had five hits!...but flies out...Dodgers 6-Cubs 7...
