Pei, <i>et al</i> may represent a reaction to the excesses and grotesque distortions of the gloomy, oppressive Victorian architecture that blighted the landscape and the interiors of the mid-to-late nineteenth century, but those harbingers of sterile, functional modernism did nothing to compensate for the loss of the Wrennish, Palladian-Georgian-Graeco-Roman ideals since the mid-twentieth century.<br /><br />As to interior design: <br /><br /><b><i>Queen Anne and Chippendale<br />Hepplewhite, Sheraton,<br />Once graced our mansions<br />With elegant life.<br /><br />Then came John Belter,<br />And Eastlake -- and Morris.<br />How I wish it had ended <br />With young Duncan Phyfe!</i></b><br /><br />~ FreeThinke - Adventures in AntiquingFreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-10791172392179702412014-10-12T13:45:15.219-04:002014-10-12T13:45:15.219-04:00ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH, DEAR FRIENDS ...

The video clip of Dick Cheney released several years ago showing his smug delivery on the podium of the CFR asserting that he was a long time member of the CFR, but In a speech which he delivered before the CFR on 15 February 2002, Cheney admitted that he avoided mentioning his CFR ties to his Wyoming voters, saying:<br /><br /> <br /><br />“...it’s good to be back at the Council on Foreign Relations. As Pete mentioned, I have been a member for a long time, and was actually Director for some period of time. I never mentioned that when I was campaigning for reelection back home in Wyoming.”<br /><br />—is one such example, I believe.<br /><br />A second from the same CFR shows David Rockefeller with microphone in hand asking a question of the speaker, Dick Cheney, apparently recorded by someone attending and not likely for public release.<br /><br />So what are the connections of those two individuals to the constrained world we live in today? If you accept that a giant leap was made by the events of September 11, 2001, toward the end game envisioned by the globalist rulers, ten those would be two individuals that should be thoroughly investigated and exposed. Of course, there are plenty of others but for starters I'd name those two demonic bastards.<br /><br />There are many organizations acting as strong advocates for globalism including those mentioned above in the main article as well as in the comments. One that isn't is the Club of Rome which has been around since 1968. That is the origin of the idea that human life on Earth should be held up as guilty of destroying the planet. Over the intervening years they have been successful in attracting a gaggle of robotic followers inflamed with the notions implanted in their robotic skulls by the genius of the elite manipulators who came up with the idea decades ago that humanity itself must be held up as guilty and would therefore be accountable for the punishment to be meted out by the wielders of the power of the global state for this sin against their new god—Gaia. <br /><br />And this neo-eco-religion has of course evolved replacing the Ark of the Covenant with The Ark of Hope, a cheap wooden imitation of the original. A fitting image for the fraudulent creation that invented and intended to impose on the "others" of the planet.Waylonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533895509055020394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-27228287004363188392014-10-12T08:07:46.580-04:002014-10-12T08:07:46.580-04:00Are you trying to frighten everybody, FT?

Truly the stuff ot nightmares. I think I understand the first two. They are graphic visions of where industrialization and technology are leading us, namely a world so dominated by hideous, intimidating, terrifyingly complicated machinery and toxic waste that our lives will be all but unbearable. Is that it? <br /><br />But what could you have meant by posting that monstrous looking creature? I hope you're not suggesting we might evolve into something as godawful as that because of the way things are going? I have to admit the imagine haunts and sickens me with a vague feeling of dread. I can't get it out of my mind. I wonder if that's why everyone so far have chosen to ignore it? I pride myself on not being squeamish, but I rather wish you hadn't published that evil looking thing.
