Her kommer et nytt tips – Hurricane Season av meksikanske forfatteren Fernanda Melchor. Romanen utspiller seg i et lite, fattig lokalsamfunn i Veracruz, og mysteriet består i hvem som har drept landsbyheksa. Dette er en av disse romanene som på en måte består av noveller, for i hvert kapittel vi får en ny landsbyboers oppfatning av hva som har skjedd. Romanen kjennetegnes også av laaange setninger og et helt utrolig rått og usminket språk.

Hurricane Season var forresten blant de nominerte på kortlisten til den internasjonale Bookerprisen 2020, men nådde ikke helt til topps (Prisen gikk til nederlandske Marieke Lucas Rijneveld for The Discomfort of Evening).

Finn Skårederuds Uro har jeg også lest – enig med deg i at det er en interessant bok.

På Kindlen har jeg Hurricane Season av den meksikanske forfatteren Fernanda Melchor. Er cirka halvveis. Romanen utspiller seg i et lite, fattig lokalsamfunn i Veracruz, og mysteriet består i hvem som har drept landsbyheksa. Dette er en av disse romanene som på en måte består av noveller, for i hvert kapittel vi får en ny landsbyboers oppfatning av hva som har skjedd. Romanen kjennetegnes også av laaange setninger og et helt utrolig rått og usminket språk.

På øret har jeg debutromanen til Charlie Kaufman, Antkind, som kom ut i år. Kaufman er jo kjent som filmskaper, med filmer som Being John Malkovich, Adaptation og Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Den er utrolig lang – nesten 26 timer – og foreløpig synes jeg den er temmelig ujevn.

Har også akkurat begynt på novellesamlingen Daddy av Emma Cline. Leste debutromanen hennes Girls, da den kom for noen år siden, og likte den utrolig godt. Ga den en femmer og skrev en kort omtale her på Bokelskere. Så blir det spennende å se om hun er en like god novelleforfatter.

Håper jeg rekker et nytt kapittel eller to i Elena Ferrantes L'amica geniale / My brilliant friend også.

Fortsatt god helg!

The Unfit, by Elof Carlson, explores the sources of a movement
— negative eugenics — that was used to justify the Holocaust,

which claimed millions of innocent lives in World War II.
The title reflects the nearly three centuries of belief that
some people are socially unfit by virtue of a defective biology,

and echoes an earlier theory of degeneracy, dating to biblical
antiquity, in which some people were deemed unfit because of
some transgression against religious law.

The author presents the first biological theory of degeneracy
— onanism — and then follows the development of degeneracy
theory throughout the nineteenth century and its application
to a variety of social classes.
The key intellectual theories and their proponents form the
framework of this exploration, which includes the concepts of
evolution and heredity
and how they were applied to social problems.

These ideas are followed into the twentieth century with
the development of theories of positive and negative eugenics,
the establishment of compulsory sterilization laws,
racism and anti–Semitism, and the Holocaust.

This story of misapplied science and technology is one that still
haunts humanity in the twenty–first century.

The ghost of eugenics recurs in many guises during debates
and controversies
about intelligence testing, genetic screening,
prenatal diagnosis, gene therapy,
new reproductive strategies,
and uses of our genomic information.

Carlson ends his discussion of the history of humanity in this
arena with an exploration of the future of genetics
that is based on new technologies and application of the
Human Genome Project findings,
as well as a discussion of the death of the old eugenics
and of the problems that will not go away, including our
ambivalence about our own biology.

Ernæringslærd Krigføring:

The Eugenics Office inflicted its cruelty from the beginning.

Very early on, in 1915, they discovered in their scientific
research that pellagra — a disease that still inflicted a high
death toll — was caused by an insufficiency of niacin.
The cure was a simple dietary one.

Instead of spreading that information publicly, the Eugenics
Office urged a diet of corn, which provides no niacin,

and then viciously attacked other medical researchers
who claimed that niacin prevented pellagra.

In particular, Mrs. Harriman ordered the Eugenics Office director, William Davenport,
to heap contempt on the "niacin theory."

She knew he wouldn't let her down.
What had drawn her to hire him in the first place was an article
in which he singled out the Irish as "defectives who genetically
were not able to ward off tuberculosis."

So with that moral and scientific view of humanity, he had no
qualms about complying with her demand.

Financed by Mrs. Harriman, he published voluminous position papers
discrediting the theory about niacin.

superior races - in elitist views

The epidemic is the culmination of the intellectual and spiritual
tradition of some of the richest and most powerful people alive,
many of them famous and respected figures from families
whose names are household words and held in high esteem by
the public.
Their indifference — or contempt — for the lives of common humanity
should not come as a surprise, nor be hard to believe.

Since at least the height of British colonial domination of
the world,
there has been a potent strain of thinking among "aristocrats"
about superior races
(white, English speaking, educated and rich)
and inferior races
(white or black or colored, uneducated and poor).

The entire British colonial system was based on the ruthless
domination by a few of the "superior" over vast numbers of
the "inferior."

America itself was founded in rebellion against that domination.
The American Revolution was an overthrow of those old ideas
about who should rule — and how.
And then the new Americans turned right around and did the same
thing to their own "inferiors,"
allowing slavery for blacks and committing genocide against
Native Americans with a rapacity that would have gratified the
most ruthless British colonialists.

Philosophers revered as great thinkers by the British aristocrats
of those centuries
openly expressed their views that

the inferior peoples of the planet must not be allowed
to increase sufficiently in numbers
to use up the earth's precious natural resources
and, eventually, to overrun by sheer numbers the existing
political and economic system.

The most prominent 18th Century spokesman for the British
East India Company policies of global genocide
was the economist Adam Smith.

His book, The Wealth of Nations, is still required reading
in college economics classes.
He wrote several works on forced population reduction,
the most notable being The Treatise of Human Nature and The
Theory of Moral Sentiments,
in which he placed mankind on the level of animals.

Smith's ideas were advanced in the 19th Century by philosophers
as prominent as Thomas Malthus,
another high-ranking employee of the British East India Company.

To the acclaim of the British upper classes, Malthus actually
wrote in the mid-1800's:
"All children who are born, beyond what would be needed to keep up
the population to a desired level,
must necessarily perish,
unless room be made for them by the death of grown persons …

We should facilitate, instead of desperately trying to impede,
the operation of nature in producing this mortality,

and if we dread the all too often visitation of the horrid form
of famine, we should sedulously encourage the other forms of
destruction which we compel nature to use."

Malthus' modest proposals included that the poor be educated
into habits of filth rather than cleanliness

and that poor villages should be built "near stagnant pools
and particularly encourage settlements in marshy and unwholesome
situations [sites]."

And he encouraged that restraint be enforced upon those
misguidedly benevolent men who would try to protect the poor
from contagious diseases.

Malthus was a respected writer of his era,
and though not one American in a thousand has read his work
since some boring college class, his name remains famous.

His writings were eminent enough to be responsible for
the invention of a word that remains in our language even now:
Malthusian.
Meaning: "Of / pertaining to the theory of Thomas Malthus that
population tends to increase faster than food supply,
with inevitably disastrous results unless the increase in
population can be checked."

Inevitably disastrous results unless the increase in population
can be checked. Precisely.
And in one sentence, the meaning of "Malthusian"
captures perfectly what the AIDS epidemic is really all about:
Population control.

Malthusian philosophy was heralded in the 20th Century by
esteemed British writers who included H. G. Wells
(of "War of the Worlds" fame) and Lord Bertrand Russell.

Near the end of his long life, Lord Russell won acclaim among
antiwar activists for his outspoken opposition to American
involvement in Vietnam. But what they didn't know was that
he just thought war was a horribly messy and inefficient way
to kill people.
Not to mention the property destruction and expensive munitions.

Throughout his career, Lord Russell spoke of the aristocratic
aspiration toward a more refined form of genocide.
In 'The Impact of Science on Society', he made it clear
what they had in mind:
"I do not pretend that birth control is the only way in which
population can be kept from increasing. There are others,
which, one must suppose, opponents of birth control would prefer.

-IlluRussell-

War, as I remarked, has hitherto been disappointing
in this respect,
but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective.

If a Black Death could be spread throughout the world
once in every generation,
survivors could procreate freely without making the world
too full.
There would be nothing in this to offend the conscience of
the devout or to restrain the ambition of nationalists.
This state of affairs might be somewhat unpleasant, but
what of it. Really high-minded people are indifferent to
suffering, especially that of others."

But of course. How else to run an empire?
In 1953, when Lord Russell's book was published, there was
very little public knowledge of bacteriological warfare.
Yet he spoke of it knowingly and lovingly, and he clearly
indicated that poor nations would be targeted.

That virulent strain of thought continues — and reaches
to the top.
In 1962, the CIBA foundation held a symposium,
"Man and His Future," at which the keynote speaker was
Francis Krick.
His favored tactics of population control included putting
a chemical that would cause sterility in the water supplies
of those nations he judged as "not fit to have children."
Other nations deemed fit would be given a license to
purchase an antidote.

"This approach may run against Christian ethics," he said
in a nice touch of understatement,
"but I do not see why people should have a right to have children.

We might be able to achieve remarkable results after twenty
or thirty years by limiting reproduction to genetically superior
couples."

He talked about the benefits that could come to a country that
"improved its population on a grand scale."

What type of people was Frick talking about?
A study of his work leaves no doubt that "limiting reproduction
to genetically superior couples," as he wished to do,
would exclude Negroes, Jews, Gypsies and the Asian races.

The year was not 1939 but 1962, and the country was not
Nazi Germany, but the United States of America.

These were not the musings of a deranged madman, but the
philosophical essence of one of the foremost microbiologists
in the world. Francis Krick was a winner of the Nobel Prize.

And thirty-some years later, here we are.
Those responsible for the AIDS epidemic have at long last
created the perfect tool for their Malthusian solution
to their most pressing problem:
Population control.

One of the most important investigations into AIDS

was carried out in 1988 by the Social Services Committee of
the House of Commons in the British Parliament.
They were given considerable help, incidentally, by disaffected
intelligence service agents
and members of the medical and dental professions.

The "Third Report from the Social Services Committee,
Problems Associated with AIDS, Minutes of Evidence and Memoranda"
is of great interest.

One of its quoted documents is a memorandum from Dr. John Seale,
Royal Society of Medicine, who has come as close to the truth
publicly as any medical authority in the world.
What he says contains great wisdom — and the beginnings of
solutions that could ultimately save millions of lives.
This is an historically important document.

Dr. Seale:

No politician can make rational decisions to deal with AIDS without
a clear understanding of the nature and severity of the epidemic,

the means of transmission of the virus,
and the prospects of a cure or preventive vaccine.

The key scientific facts underlying the epidemic are quite simple,
though AIDS is perceived to be unusually complex and full of
scientific uncertainties.
These perceptions have been produced by a few scientists and
others
who have recklessly minimized the seriousness
of the epidemic and have fostered confusion and dangerous misconceptions.

The most important and urgent task for politicians, both in Government
and in Parliament, is to force scientists to speak clearly, precisely
and honestly about the AIDS epidemic.

Half-truths, wishful thinking, flawed scientific hypotheses and deceptions
have been perpetrated by scientists
and allowed to flourish as conventional wisdom,
aided and abetted by editors of scientific and medical journals.

The deceptions must be exposed with maximum publicity.

The public must be fully informed of the true nature of the threat from the virus which faces us all. Once this is done the mass of the population will accept the measures inevitable to halt the spread of the virus, even though they will inevitably require severe curtailment of the liberty and civil rights of everybody, just as happens in war time. The longer the truth is obscured from the public, and the greater the multitude of innocent people who die most horribly as a result, the more ferocious will be the explosion of hatred and revenge against those guilty of perpetrating the deception.

The virus has the properties of a skilled, devious, hidden and implacable
invader with the capacity and willingness to kill every man, woman
and child in our country.
It may be now spreading amongst us precisely because it has this capacity.

It is unwise to think that such a force can be vanquished without
taking actions which the people of Britain accepted as entirely
appropriate in two World Wars; particularly as dissemination of the
virus is being actively encouraged
by some who wish to destroy our society."

Dr. Seale provided a brilliant overview of the entire situation the world
faces in the AIDS epidemic:

A. THE NATURE OF THE DISEASE

  1. AIDS is a contagious, infectious, communicable disease
    caused by a lentivirus (slow virus),
    a member of the family of retroviruses.

  2. No lentivirus has been known to affect humans before the advent of AIDS.

  3. AIDS is a typical slow virus with a prolonged, silent incubation period
    of great variability, but usually lasting several years,
    followed by slowly progressive disease always ending in death.

  4. An epidemic of a new slow virus disease spreading unchecked
    is the ultimate virological nightmare,
    yet in none of the major scientific or medical journals has this
    been spelled out clearly and the implication discussed.

  5. Death is caused by the AIDS virus infecting, and slowly destroying,
    cells in the brain, lungs, intestine and immune system.

B. MORTALITY FOLLOWING INFECTION.

  1. Within five years of infection with the virus, twenty-five percent of people have developed fullblown AIDS and all of them die.

  2. The ultimate mortality within twenty-five years of infection is unknown as the virus has been spreading for only ten years. The optimistic view held by a decreasing number of virologists is that only fifty percent of those infected will die. Many virologists accept this pessimistic view, that all people infected with the virus will eventually be killed by it.

  3. All virologists are agreed that once infected with the AIDS virus,
    people are potentially infectious to others for life.

C. FAILURE OF ANTIBODIES AND VACCINES TO PROTECT.

  1. In all people with antibodies to the AIDS virus, some virus persists in brain and other cells from which it cannot be removed. In contrast to most virus infections, antibodies to a lentivirus do not provide protective immunity; they fail to neutralize or eliminate it. Although many people infected with the AIDS virus look and feel well for several years, destruction of the cells of the brain and immune systems is progressing slowly.

  2. The outlook for a successful vaccine is bleak. None is available for lentivirus diseases of animals. Search for a vaccine against infectious anemia of horses for eight years, and against maedi-visna in sheep for forty years has proved futile. Indeed when antibodies to a lentivirus are produced artificially by vaccination,

animals die after subsequent infection more rapidly than those which are not.

In spite of many successful vaccines, it should be realized that

for the majority of viral and bacterial diseases, vaccines do not work.

In a 1953 cold war experiment, the Army sprayed clouds of toxic
material over Minneapolis dozens of times
and may have caused miscarriages and still-births,
a public television station here has reported.

The sprayings in Minneapolis and other cities were described then
as part of an effort 'to develop an aerosol screen to protect
Americans from fallout in case of an atomic attack' …
The material sprayed in Minneapolis was zinc cadmium sulfide,
a carcinogen, and the Army was actually testing how chemicals
would disperse during biological warfare,
the station reported.

One of the sites sprayed in Minneapolis was a public elementary
school where former students have reported an unusual number of
stillbirths and miscarriages .…

In its report, the station quoted experts as saying zinc cadmium
sulfide was toxic and might cause cancer.
It said it was sprayed 61 times in four parts of Minneapolis,
from generators in the rear of trucks or from rooftops.

One former student of the sprayed school told the station that
of her three children, one had Down's syndrome, another was
profoundly retarded and a third had a learning disability."

This was all done in the cause of Chemical and Bacteriological
Warfare.
We've read about its existence.
It appears in the news every once in a while. The Soviets were
said to possess a nightmarish capacity. President Nixon made
headlines around the world when he announced he would seek a ban
on it. (Nothing happened.)

It made big headlines when herds of sheep mysteriously fell over
dead in their fields near the Army's secretive CAB lab at Dugway,
Utah. The Army, of course, lied through its teeth and denied any
knowledge of what might have happened,
but the public discovered years later that the wind changed
on a day when they were testing one of their deadly airborne
toxins.

"You just want people to die!"

That's the intellectually stimulating response you get when

In fact, the consequences of the lockdowns are so devastating

"The UK’s Sunday Express — not exactly an obscure dispatch — reports that
increased cancer fatalities will result
from the redeployment of health resources caused by COVID hysteria.

In fact, says Richard Sullivan, a professor of cancer and global health
at King’s College London and director of its Institute of Cancer Policy,
“The number of deaths due to the disruption of cancer services is likely to
outweigh the number of deaths from the coronavirus itself.”

“The cessation and delay of cancer care will cause considerable avoidable
suffering. Cancer screening services have stopped, which means
we will miss our chance to catch many cancers when they are treatable
and curable, such as cervical, bowel and breast.”

“When we do restart normal service delivery after the lockdown is lifted,
the backlog of cases will be a huge challenge to the healthcare system.”
( tidl. innlegg )

(2) Reuters reported this week on a UN report warning that
“economic hardship experienced by families as a result of the global
economic downturn could result in hundreds of thousands of additional
child deaths in 2020,
reversing the last 2 to 3 years of progress in reducing infant
mortality within a single year.”

The report further warned that 42 million to 66 million children
could fall into extreme poverty as a result of the crisis.

(For the tone deaf: I place no confidence in the UN. I cite them to show

and are therefore more difficult to dismiss.)

og de var søsken av lys og skyer,
si ikke
jorden kan få dem, jeg tror
de vender seg til lyset

jeg har sett sollys
på menneskers ansikter mens de
ikke merket det, mens de
holdt på med sitt, jeg har sett
lyset kjærtegne dem.
