GMC vs DMC: when a dream car crashes into war, politics and drugs

john delorean and his wife cristina ferrare

the design of the DMC 12 by giorgetto giugiaro

the factory in belfast smack in the middle of the IRA wars

great BBC docu on the downfall

john delorean worked at GMC (general motors company) and became one of its highly paid presidents, he was cocky and brash and surely pissed off a lot of top brass at the company. he was fired / he resigned (depending whom you ask) to build his dream car company named DMC (delorean motors company). GMC was not happy. margaret thatcher and ronlad reagans FBI somehow were involved in bringing the company down and convicting john delorean on drug charges. he was ruined, the company went bankrupt, but all charges where dropped. john became a born again christian and supposedly went to heaven. by uh

gianni agnelli : what a ham! and why we love him…

with his first wife marella

even giants start small

oh hi jackie kennedy!

older wiser agneli and the fiat empire

good clip on gianni agnelli’s life…

“the agnelli look was about ease, grace and never trying too hard. like the dinner party just happened without any planning.”

“was he vain? He invented it.”

“he had the view of Aristotle – where goodness and beauty overlap.”

three quotes that sum up gianni agnelli and la dolce vita. this video is part 2 of the HBO documentary agnelli (2017). genuine style is both timeless and priceless, it is innate and money (though not necessary to have flair) in the hands of agnelli made his life shine so brightly that the whole world was lit up. by uh

le mepris: breakdown of jean luc godard’s garden scene in contempt

at the expense of being screamed at… i do believe woman, more than men, have the ability to turn off emotions. men may subdue their emotions, but once there… it is not so easy for men to turn back.

a really beautiful breakdown of this loaded and constructed garden scene in le mepris by This video essay by cristina alvarez lópez and adrian martin of mubi

definitely one of my favorite films, seen it projected several time, have it on blue ray, and highly recommend catching it in a proper cinema if you can. by uh

he was a construct : an interesting take on who jeffrey epstein really was

jeffrey epstein “math teacher”

leslie wexner billionaire businessman ceo of victorias secret and epsteins only client

eli cohen – syrian mossad agent

jeffrey epstein “financier” – donald trump, evanka trump, jeffrey epstein, ghislaine maxwell – epstein most likely had dirt on donald trump

robert maxwell and her daughter ghislaine

robert maxwell (ghislaine maxwell’s father) henry kissinger

eric weinstein reveals the terrifying story of meeting jeffrey epstein

interesting take on who the “disgraced financier” jeffrey epstein really was. a financier who worked with no one (but wexler) and had no trace of investment documents. he was a supposed billionaire who’s wealth vanished after his mysterious death, very much like robert maxwell (ghislaine maxwell’s father) whos wealth disappeared after his mysterious death. he mingled with royalty and elite and documented dirt (honey traps) on each to use as collateral but for what?

eric weinstein (not related to harvery weistein) received his phd in mathematical physics from harvard university in 1992 under the supervision of raoul bott. weinstein left academia after stints at the massachusetts institute of technology (MIT) and the hebrew university of jerusalem. weinstein was invited to a colloquium by mathematician marcus du sautoy at oxford university’s clarendon laboratory in may 2013. you can listen to the full interview here. by xy

peace now: some words of wisdom from charles mingus

charles mingus at a peace rally circa 1967

charles mingus – don’t let it happen here

“…one day they came and they took the communists, and i said nothing because i was not a communist.

then one day they came and they took the people of the Jewish faith, and i said nothing because i had no faith.

then one day they came and took the unionists, and i said nothing because i was not a unionist.

they burned the Catholic churches one day, and i said nothing because i was a protestant.

one day they came and they took me, and i could say nothing because i was as guilty as they were of genocide, destroying the rights of any man to live…”

some great words by charles mingus, genuine people should follow them regardless of the parties – follow them when they effects the jews and follow them when they effects the palestinians. cease fire now, free the hostages, stop the illegal settlements, demand a just peace, there is no humane alternative – by xy

how britain started the arab-israeli conflict

WWI

sykes-picot-agreement was a 1916 secret treaty between the united kingdom and france, with assent from the russian empire and the kingdom of italy, to define their mutually agreed spheres of influence and control in an eventual partition of the (turkish) ottoman empire.

full documentary : how britain started the arab-israeli conflict

“the bitter struggle between arab and jew for control of the holy land has caused untold suffering in the middle east for generations. it is often claimed that the crisis originated with jewish emigration to palestine and the foundation of the state of israel. yet the roots of the conflict are to be found much earlier – in british double-dealing during the first world war. this is a story of intrigue among rival empires; of misguided strategies; and of how conflicting promises to arab and jew created a legacy of bloodshed which determined the fate of the middle east.” a good watch – one more documentary to better understand the world we live in. by dd

some of my favorite things : pulp fiction sam jackson

“…i wouldn’t go so far to call the brother fat, i mean hes gotta weight problem, what the niger gots to do? hes samoan…” – that’s a damn shame

“…check out the big brains on brett, you’re a smart mother fucker, that’s right.” – check out the big brains on brett

“…man …i will never forget your ass for this… in fact what the fuck am i doing in the back, you’re the motherfucker who should be on brain detail…” – car scene brain detail

“…now, i want you go in that bag and find my wallet… its the one that says bad-mother-fucker…” – diner scene bad mother fucker

quentin tarantino’s classic pulp fiction — watched this gem on my flight west and remembered all the greatest bits of dialogue that tarantino and samual jackson mouthed off. just brilliant! the film is not a story but rather bits of ingeniously funny dialogue, and i’m not even including the great parts with bruce willis, just great stuff… worth another watch. by uh
