Ahah! Wad ya know :)

Six more major countries accepted into BRICS today :-) Including Iran!
Official activity begins early next Summer. Read it like this, "You've
only got till next June to somehow come to terms with the world about
oil price, cause after June of next year you won't be the determining
factor in controlling it." That's a first, isn't it. But I need to see
that with my own eyes before I get my bag of beans out.

Plus, already, they're saying the combined BRICS' contributing GDP has
now, as of this day, surpassed G7's! I just checked the web. And there
are 22 more countries that have applied to become members of BRICS. When
these economies also get added, BRICS becomes 50% larger than the entire Western economies combined. This isn't far into the future.

When was it, 20 years ago? Your "G7" was half the world's economy!
Today, it is less than 3rd. BRICS nations surpassed it today.

I'm happy that the world is gradually becoming independent of your
menace. The stupid among humanity is slowly but steadily getting pushed
to the margins, and out of the way.

The real muzzles on your threatening and out of control snouts will come
later, after BRICS.

Your dependence on cryptocurrency will increase of course, unless you
begin buying and stockpiling BRIC's currencies, which I doubt you would. Regardless, I don't think dollar will be safe 10 months from now. They
will just call it "drastically more inflation" and pretend it's just
natural and people should deal with it like drought or flood or fires
and earthquakes, etc. I.e. your leaders will not give a damn. They're
just present day "Hoover"s of 1920s and 30s who fucked everything up for
you, and now busy doing it again.

I don't need to tell anybody here about "inflation". Did you read that
WSJ article about housing recently? New houses being built right now
have considerably fewer rooms than before. Otherwise nobody would be
able to buy them. To get them sold, they've begun getting rid of many
aspects of quality of life inside them. And that's for everybody, mind
you, not for the poor or "disadvantaged", or "minorities", etc. It's for mainstream USA.

Even Relf, a guy who wants nothing from this world but a computer and a
steady supply of cheese sticks and pistachios, has been complaining
about housing for like 7 years now. His newer theme is the appearance of hoovervilles everywhere around him. Tent cities. But wait till June of
next year to dream about conditions you have right now.

You will hold each other tight! Then wait for the inevitable.

Maybe I can see that day. Maybe I can.

Not that you wouldn't _want_ to, but because who'd want to get your
dollars anymore? To do what with it? Are Iranians or Arabs still buying
stuff from you? No, they get everything they need a third of the price,
max, from China and Russia and other BRICS nations. Sometimes tens of
times cheaper. From Arms which they don't yet make themselves, to the medications they still do not manufacture is high enough quantities, all
the way to every form of tech and raw material they ever need.

Even at the highest moment of need, Iran got his Covid vaccines from the
safer ones which China was literally selling to her 20 times cheaper.
Here companies charged your insurance $200 for a vaccine, in Iran
Chinese vaccines were charged $10 to the insurance companies, and still
many said it was overpriced and should've been cheaper because China was selling them at the correct price in a square business with Iran.

Iranians won't need you anymore. Try to sell a $200 vaccine to them when
within BRICS it can be spotted at $3 total.

I buy the same medicine that here it is charged $400 to my insurance
company, from India, without using my insurance, and pay $15 for it,
because it is still cheaper than the portion of it which my insurance
wants to be paid out of my pocket. And this is the price which Indians
are charging Americans, mind you. The exact same medicine from India, in
Iran is sold to Iranians less than half a dollar. One of my brothers
takes it. Exact same medicine, same company, same bottles, same pills.

Whenever you started to compete with India with your $400 meds against
their half a dollar meds, then and only then you have a place in this
world. Otherwise nobody will trade with you except residents of the Hoovervilles you have created within yourselves. You'll rip off your
working people's juices and add more and more tent cities.

So what would Iranians do with "dollars" when you ask them to exchange currencies so you could stockpile them? The only haven you have is
crypto. Nothing else. Nothing else as long as Reagans, the present day "Hoovers," have appeared again.

The La Reunion had noble ideas which they thought would be the answer to
the question of how to stop all these wars and begin to live together in harmony.

I said very little about La Reunion. It is a very important part of Dallas history. It was them, the La Reunion people, who actually launched Dallas from a tiny village that it was in 1850, to a city that Texas to this day has had no equal. When you
subtract any city in Texas from Dallas, what's left is purely the La Reunion effect. That's why close to downtown that tower with the shining and turning ball on top (Reunion Tower), stands so beautifully to say just that to you every night you look that
way :)

But this is a long story and today is my eating day and I'm hungry as hell, so fuck you for now.

The following clip was recent news in one of Iran's news channels, from
the situation in the USA. Watch it, cause I doubt you can do that in
USA. It got here via Telegram, which USA doesn't have control on :)

The translations in Persian on the screen is excellent, which tells me
those reporting these stuff to Iran also do the translations for them.
This is serious stuff:

Ok, La Reunion... Hmm. I've got 10 minutes.

The three hundred or so Individuals who arrived in Texas from 1953 to
around 1957 and _walked_ from Houston to Dallas with all their
belongings, through thick bushes that they had to constantly axe to
forge forward, full of snakes, to stretches of desert with no water and,
again, full of snakes, and across occasional rivers blocking their way
north, and doing all that while constantly in danger of American Natives confronting them; these individuals were no ordinary men. They were hand-picked. They all were highly educated and each skilled in
something. Both physically and mentally, they were superior to the
average human around them in Texas as well as in Europe. And they were
fully armed.

Above all, they were damn determined. They'd had it with tootsies and "Pennino"s of Europe who always created wars out of pure lack of brains.
They were after a solution. Nothing could stop them. And some say
nothing did.

They even looked different. Occasional onlookers had described them as
"Their men wear women dresses." Stuff of that nature.

When La Reunion project failed in less than 5 years, unfortunately some
of them returned to Europe (and some more later at the start of Civil
War). But most of them decided to stay and seek their goals in the
American way. Thus, Dallas was launched :) All of them ended up
successful and quite rich for the sheer fact that they were superior to
others in that "village" that had two streets and two buildings, and
nothing else but cabins and farms around it.

Up until 20 years ago, one could drive along Swiss Avenue in Dallas,
named after the Swiss faction among La Reunion who had settled there,
and watch with awe old large mansions after mansions that were built on
both sides, and wonder about those men and women. I haven't visited that
area since and don't know they've still kept them or they're gone like a
lot of other aspects about this old amazing city.

Got to go. You know what that means, right? Should I explain that also
to you? It means FUCK YOU little souls.

Hehe ;-) I see the caffeine hadn't kicked in yet. That's "from 1853 to
around 1857", baby :-) Doing it superfast and lack of caffeine first
thing in the morning is a weird combination.

In 2004 I walked, with my wife, from begin to end of that long wide
street :) We weren't yet married but had agreed to it and were about to
do it shortly :) Sweet days. It was awesome to look at those large
breathtaking houses and listening to my wife giving all that information
about those people. She herself (on mother's side) was a distant
descendant of one of those people and knew by the word of mouth alone
tons of facts about them. She'd even taken me to the grave of the
grandmother of her then living 97 year old grandma, a woman of Dutch
origin who'd seen the La Reunion days first hand (not in the first batch
who arrived but a year or two later - most women arrived later after
some know-how was established).

And her still living grandma herself was an avid source of information,
cause she enjoyed talking about it and re-remembering such things from
her past folks and stories. The latter always talked joyfully anyway,
because she loved every aspect of life itself, and her mind was still
ticking like a clock. Very unusual for a woman of that age. She was even
still sexy! You know what I mean. I'm not kidding at all. Tall, slender,
good ass, the muscle tone still like a 45-year-old woman's, everything a
nice Texan woman is, even at that age. And she took care of her house
all by herself. That by itself says it all. She'd serve me with hot tea, thinking Iranians do not drink coffee :)

In fact every time I've looked at Elon Musk's mother, she has reminded
me of that grandma :) The two are very similar in looks, and possible
character as well. And similar in the way they look at life. Both lived
full lives _before_ and after marriage stage. Musk's mother wasn't that
lucky with the husband she ended up with (she was fooled into it). It
was not her choice. Same with that grandma. But find me a man who can
compete and sustain his marbles when married to superior women like
them. Therefore, I don't think it was fully their husbands' fault. Occasionally, a woman is just better than you, plain and simple. Musk's
mother is still a heck of a woman as you can see. I'd fuck her in no
time if I was given a chance. Hahhahhah :-)

One should really fuck mothers of any "Billionaire." They deserve it.
Some first-hand screwballs they are. I'm 100% sure they miss parts of
the wiring in their heads that in a healthy human must be there.

Anyway, the problem with us and the grandma was that we didn't visit her
often enough. Before my wife married me, grandma had kicked her out of
her house :-) They'd tolerated each other for only two years. My wife
had chosen to have a room in hers so she could get to Southwestern
Medical Center close to downtown more easily. That's where she worked in
those days. I, quite soon, discovered the main reasons why she got
kicked out. The way she managed her life, her extensive (and expensive)
sewing equipment and whatever you can find scrambled around them (it was
and is her hobby) would start to gradually puff up and fill the room,
then begin going outside the room's door continuing the expansion first
just to the left and right, then along all directions from that spot on, including upwards. Hahhahhhaha :-) Grandma, a clean neat orderly kind of
woman, had had enough of that.

But they remained friends, nevertheless. A couple of years after she'd
gotten past the age of 100 the inevitable arrived and hit her; she began
to decline (I think it was a late-set Alzheimer) and my wife took
extensive care of her for months till she passed. Some women should not
die :-(

Ok, more on this La Reunion thing. Hmm... I mentioned that Dutch woman's
grave. The grave of the grandmother of my ex's grandma. It was not in La Reunion Cemetery ("Fishtrap" cemetery). My wife explained to me that in
those days, a lot of ex-La Reunion people tried to dissociate themselves
from that past because they looked upon it as a failed project from way
earlier in their lives while themselves were doing great in their
American style of living. They didn't wish to be buried in Fishtrap
cemetery of all the places. She explained that this was why one sees so
few of them indeed today in there. And the ones there, in Fishtrap,
belong to the most dogged believers of La Reunion's ideals, who
correctly or not, gave different but all _external_ reasons for its
failure, and not its ideals, or how they'd designed and carried the
project out.

This was, and today is, a hot dispute causing ramifications in how La
Reunion is explained and exposed to new generations. A controversy
indeed. Different sides pointing fingers at each other. There is truth
in it, and there is guilt in it! So it involves lies, even secrecies, if
you ask me. Very "American" when it comes to writing their history,
right? :(

I haven't studied it, and still don't know which side was correct; the
one's saying La Reunion failed for its own flaws, or, ones saying it
failed _only_ by external events, back-stabbing from people and
government of Texas of those days (i.e. slave owners!) included. Anyway,
this is why some chose to be buried in Fishtrap and the rest of them
chose to be scattered all over Dallas various cemeteries like any other run-of-the-mill Dallasite.

So, despite at first seeming to be a simple question, as soon as you
take a step into it, you realize it is some hard work. It is indeed a
thesis or two for itself and some students need to work on and get a
couple of degrees with. I'm too old for this shit, the sources of
information are quite scarce and varied, involving multiple different
European languages. Including Polish!

Yes! Polish language is required as well. You must know it otherwise
you'd lose enough facts to make your dissertation worthless. In fact you
need to know, at the least, English, French, German, and Polish. Dutch
would help also, but as far as I know (which isn't much at all) is not
that badly needed.

Let me pick an example. One of the factors that makes it harder to
research is that from the beginning, since different ethnic people were involved in that project, the word of mouth paths got the information
down to later generations who didn't know much about each other because
they spoke different languages. My wife didn't know of Wolski's diary
when I asked. Hadn't even heard of him. Her lineage was from the Dutch
side of the affair, told mother to daughter all the way down to where
she was. If there were similarities or differences between these orally
passed information between people of different language, they wouldn't
have any way of knowing that.

Today, the French views among them is relatively more known to public
because two or three half-assed books came out by descendants of the
French among the original La Reunion. One came out in the 100's
anniversary of La Reunion (1953) in English, which was only printed in
400 copies all, and one around the same time in France of which I may
later speak. There is I think one more available, in English, that I've
not read yet, suspecting it might be just a collection of what is
already known from the French source and the media in Dallas. But what
about the German speaking ones? What do they still remember? Is the
memory of La Reunion in them, their take of its failure or triumph, the
same as the French? The same as the Dutch? The French-speaking Swiss?
The German-Speaking Swiss? The Italian-speaking Swiss? The Poles? I
don't think so! So you can't rely entirely on memories of just one
faction among them.

Ok, later.

Coffee has already kicked in baby, so perhaps a bit more on this La
Reunion story. A fascinating part of Dallas, to this day!

But.. Ahh... Look at you! An Iranian must speak about La Reunion so the
fucking Cro-Magnons can get a chance. Just how many times have I noticed
this in my life, I can't even count. Testament to the ingrained
backwardness among you earlier humans. You are like cats are to humans. Unaware, self-content, living your own little lives while Modern Humans
have made that available to you!

Cat to human; very similar indeed. Needless to say, I prefer a cat to a Cro-Magnon. If you doubt that, ask my ex-wife. Oh, she can convince you
on that.

Ok, ... the Polish factor. The Polish factor in this is because of just
one person. A young Polish civil engineer was among La Reunion people
from day one. Earlier in Europe he had built railroads and dams for
France, and he'd become an ardent believer of La Reunion ideals. His
name was (the French form of it anyway) Kalixt Wolski. He was the only
one among the first group of 36 or so who knew the English language, and
walked with them from Houston to La Reunion via 100% untrodden and
unknown land. And he kept a detailed diary from day one and throughout
the La Reunion experience!... :) But Dang... it is in polish language
and nobody wants to touch it. Do you know why? Because this person
happened to be too candid a writer. Later, after returning to Europe, he
became a prolific writer in Poland, and ended up giving out volumes
after volumes of work in different subjects, each causing uproar and
dividing people in two, supporting one side or the other. He managed to
cover a comprehensive collection of subjects indeed. Jews, Communists,
the Tzar, France, Britain, you name it. But one of his works is that
extensive diary, that jewel :) And nobody touches it. It never saw the
English translation, or any other language's as far as I know. What does
that say?

To a physicist, it says that it contains candid remarks about the then government of Texas. And, even worse, Texans of those days in general. Especially the huge new arrivals. Mostly smart alecks from Tennessee
who'd rushed to the area after Texas had announced free land allocation
for anybody that comes in, in an effort to make the area safer for
existing Texans against the American Natives. Such a work would not be translatable without extensive censor, which then would beat the purpose
of it all. I think that's why it is not translated in one and a half
centuries. Nobody that I know of, American or French or Dutch or German,
or ... has translated it to their own language. It remains a work that
only Poles can read. So a good study of La Reunion must involve learning
the Polish language. I will upload Wolski's picture later.

Suck your Dad's dick if you cannot find a Physfitfreak's around you, ok?

More on La Reunion. What a wonderful morning. The third day of being off
is "painful" I've heard from some people :) It means the end of their
freedom has started. Hehe :) Not to me! For me even a short evening in
the middle of chaos is a god given.

There was a colleague (diseased since) who worked weekends only (but 40
hours total, starting from Friday third shift) and used to say he felt
the serfdom coming even as early as Wednesday... :-) Hahhhahhahah :) The
poor guy spent his Wed to Fri in grief of the coming Friday night shift.

I'm not like that, perhaps because everything I did in my career was way
easier than causing pain in me. If I had had a physics career, I imagine sometimes it would get real tough. But with what I ended up doing? No.
They were all either extremely easy or on occasions some pretty
enjoyable challenges. I never "dreaded" going to work.

And I was always paid well for what I did. I am certain, in a physics
career I would get peanuts (in USA anyway) for all that I could do for
them. So thanks to god I bailed out and showed the middle finger to them spoiled motherfuckers. They think a scientist is some sort of secretary
you dictate what to do and pay chickenshit for what they do. Ask any
physicist in USA. They all sold themselves for nothing.

But I couldn't fool myself!

Anyway, the poor guy's 5 days off when he could relax and recuperate,
was actually just 2 days, Mon and Tuesday :) Wed and Thu were too close
for comfort, and Friday was just hell :)

Ok, ... let me upload Wolski's picture:

https://i.postimg.cc/v8vPNQ8B/Wolski-Kalixt.jpg

That's him, reading from his vest pocket watch, it seems. This man, by
the way, was a staunch supporter of La Reunion ideals as well as
ascribing its failure to other external factors, and not to those ideals themselves, or, how they were undertaken in practice. If he had died in
Dallas, he would certainly be found in Fishtrap Cemetery together with Reverchon's, Santerre's, etc. Individuals who hadn't gotten on that
project for fun, and when decades later they died in Dallas, they'd
chosen to be buried in that cemetery with the other faithfulls, and
nowhere else.

Well, my wife's great great grandma was not one of them. Most women of
La Reunion had accepted such suffering of travelling to La Reunion and
carrying out the form of living it provided, because they were married
to husbands who were already there, and wanted to be with them. Not all
of them thought much about the "ideals" that La Reunion was seeking.
They just wanted to be with their husbands. This fact is candidly
expressed in Wolski's diary. There are a few second hand quotes from
that work by various Europeans, mostly students who were finishing
theses; but never more than that! The work in its entirety is still
untouched. Wolski had described one of the rare internal reasons for La Reunion's failure as:

".... if it wasn't for some pussies among the French there,
especially their unbred, quarrelling wives; menacing savages who could
never come to an agreement about anything under the sky."

:-) ... Yep.

That's Wolski. He wasn't joking either. His statements, I believe, were
solid facts that only himself could give so candidly for others to read
and know. I believe that, because it has not been translated, sweeties.

So take that one little quote and get an insight on what that diary
is!... What a wealth of information it is. This is only the opinion
expressed about their own fellow French members, imagine how candidly he
would describe the external factors. Plus, I want to know what he said
about the Swiss among them as well. Swiss people are different from the
French, and what about the Dutch among them, the Germans?..

True, these "wives" weren't picked by the financiers of the project like
their husbands were. Yet, they were tough and loyal enough to go through
that unbelievably hard journey to be with their husbands. Plus many
women in there were daughters and sisters of those La Reunion men who
had chosen to be with their family instead of staying in Europe. And
fact is that, women were needed for that plan to work successfully, just
like women are crucial for a successful farm life. So, it must've been a
"Can't do with it, can't do without it" situation.

Ok, later. Get a life, you mofo inbreds :(

A little more on La Reunion while there's time... . Hmm, three day
weekends are really disrupting events. Even a two day weekend disrupts
the normal routines enough to ruin a Monday. Takes by Tuesday for things
to settle again. Let alone a three day weekend :) But it is a back to
routine day now.

So the Polish language!... Puh. The only person here in this hellhole
who had a head on his shoulder and knew Polish language at the same
time, was Meron. Ideally, he would gradually read from that diary and
would gradually post the translations in the English language to this
forum, without the slightest censor. One page at a time. Or half a page
at a time. But!... He is indeed a limited little soul, happy with a job,
busy with a physics career, and mouth-shut like all degree'd wretched
souls are. So fat chance this would ever happen in this universe. He's
as good as nothing, like every one of you good-for-nothings.

He is no Physfitfreak. Iranians are different from Jews. We have the
most original Jews as a good sized faction of our people, but we've
stayed different from them. They keep to themselves. And the result of
it can be noticed. Mainly, they preserve that small African effect in
them which is quite fortuitous to them by the way. Gives them some edge
over others in many respects. But has its not so fortuitous effects on
them as well.

We're not enslaved by that small African thing. We can lift a finger,
and these Jews suddenly turn into monkeys jumping up and down. Degree'd, Nobel-Prized, or thug alike. This entire thing called "intellect" in
them would disappear into thin air. That's one of the downsides.

Non-Jewish Iranians are not like that. We are better equipped with the attribute of "patience" in us, than the Jews are. You Cro-Magnons don't
even _have_ that attribute built into your heads. That's why you've
found it wise to suck even Jewish dick to enrich yourselves.

Anyway, Meron is no Physfitfreak. He is (essentially) useless. He could
as well be a ... a corner grocery shop owner. Same money in fact! Other
people, if that grocery shop isn't right there for them, just go to
another one. No harm done! See what I mean? That's not how a
Physfitfreak is. He makes a difference _anywhere_ that he might be. He
steps out, you lose some chances for the rest of your lives. Knowingly
or unknowingly.

My friends, just about every one of them, if you stopped having them
around, you'd lose something for the rest of your life. So it is not
just me that's different from you. It is this whole Iranian factor.
Something different from you.

She, my ex-wife, also took me to Fishtrap cemetery. I'd been there once
decades back for a totally different reason having to do with Parker
family history in relation to Bonnie Parker's, whose grave was there for
a number of years, later moved elsewhere. My ex and I went all over the
area, not just Fishtrap. Those areas are historic because that's where
La Reunion's main camp was located, and many of its members after it was discontinued ended up owning large lands around it. La Reunion's lands
got divided between its members according to the sumtotal of money each
had contributed. Some got little lots, some got huge stretches of land.

Today, same general area contains these "oases" in which descendants of
the La Reunion people live as millionaires. They're usually hidden from outside. Even from above, you can't quite see them cause huge old tall
trees obscure them. And these oases, are scattered throughout other
Dallas areas as well. The "Swiss Avenue" that I spoke about, was one of
them, but so large that it could not be made hidden to others. La
Reunion, indeed, is still here! Dallas was almost single-handedly built
by them. It grew on top of La Reunion. So many structures of various
sorts in downtown still carry "Reunion" name on them.

As I briefly mentioned earlier in the blog, in 1950s a French researcher
gave a book out about La Reunion (again, not translated to English as
far as I know) where he had drawn the results of his research in a few sketches, as how those lands were divided. It is not a complete work.
But it does geographically indicate exactly where a few of the owners'
lands were, and what their names were. It also showed the boundaries of
the main La Reunion camp and administration area. I'll later upload one
of his sketches.

I have not read this book (I don't know French) but I have a feeling a
lot of those who spoke and wrote about La Reunion in the media got at
least some of their facts from that book. So I must've come across and
gone through many of such second hand accounts already.

I haven't even read the 100th anniversary book about La Reunion. The
book is very rare. But I can access it via top libraries in Dallas. A
copy will always be there in each of them! This is something I have to
do in the future. See, when Covid hit, and I got all that time on my
hands, unfortunately it also froze all civil activities with it. Before
that, and after that, now, I didn't and don't have much time.

Fuck you.

[I wrote this early this morning but got too late and couldn't even post
it] 7:30 pm

Ok, some more on La Reunion. Got 15 mins. I can't believe it takes an
Iranian to do a fair job of this. Americans write half-assed accounts of
their own history, blemished with self-censorship. I guess they call
that, "common sense." It _is_ the "sense" that is so fucking "common"
among them.

A few years back, on a weekend, from Craigslist I found a nice deal and
drove there to buy the item. The owner's house was inside the once La
Reunion owned area :) I knew that thanks to my ex, who had precisely
described it to me a few years prior to that.

So after we exchanged money with goods, I also told him, "Do you know
that you're living on a historic land?" He said, "Yes, the settlement."
I asked, "What settlement?" He said, "French settlement." This "French settlement" name is how Dallasites who were not part of that project
called it. So right away I knew he was an outsider. It was a wrong name
indeed, cause those people were of various origins in Europe. They were referred to as "French" by others only because their leader who
organized it was a French man, plus the theorist of the ideas behind it
had also been a French man (dead at the time). So that area and those
people were still called "French settlement." Hehe :)

But the correct name is La Reunion, as that nice shiny ball on top of
that tower downtown, reminding you of them, is named :)

So we continued a bit talking about it. He had become aware of such
history in there when he kept finding artifacts sticking out from banks
of the creek he often walked along. He had kept the artifacts, and later
asked around what the hell was the reason so many of them were there,
and had been told about the "French settlement" :)

I also told him, "your house is situated in the part of the lands that
belonged to Reverchon (the famous botanist - some professor in a
university downtown). He said, "No, Reverchon must be farther down and
to the east." (There were streets in his name there).

So, thinking my wife may've been wrong about it, I came home and used
one of that French researcher's sketches from 1950s and from google map
matched the two scales and added to it the newer highways which had
crossed the area since, and roughly calculated that man's house location
in there. It sure showed his house was not quite in Reverchon's land,
but was close to it. Reverchon's area was south and west from it, not
east as the guy'd thought.

I texted that sketch to him to see better where his house was and where
exactly Reverchon's land was. He went silent, but a few months later in
a text message he thanked me for it and let me know that it had spurred interest in him and he'd since done some research on it. Just like
myself, he was also pissed that there were no English translation of
Wolski's diary. I'll upload that same sketch next time I write about this.

Ok, .... This is that sketch:

https://i.postimg.cc/t4sVv2Br/La-Reunion-map.jpg.

Note that the lands owned in this sketch are only the ones that were surrounding the main La Reunion camp! There were huge stretches of land
also owned by La Reunion, where more of their farming was taking place
and are outside the area shown, some extending into Arlington and up
into Irving, and down into Oak Cliff, etc. Plus the project also owned
land in other spots in Texas. San Antonio, Houston, etc. But the heart
of it, the main camp, was here near Dallas.

The land beneath La Reunion camp, later, by a few descendants of La
Reunion people and money from Houston financiers, were turned into a
gigantic cement factory. So the camp itself, unfortunately (for the
interested, that is) got razed from the ground. They chose that area
because the soil was rich with chemicals needed in manufacturing cement.
As long as the material they needed was in the soil, the factory
continued its life. When all were consumed and gone, factory closed.

That factory is still there, closed, like a ghost from past. Once I
tried to enter it from north, I couldn't. The tall metal fence around is totally covered with vinelike plants that have thorns on them which made climbing them near impossible. You can only park your car somewhere near
and come out and look at the upper parts of the white huge factory
sticking above those fences; and watch the wild dogs while doing that!
Many of them in the area. Plus nothing of "La Reunion" value is left
inside there; other than the geographical area. But still, one day I may
get tempted to enter it :-) Dangerous as it is; who knows, there might
be wild animals there by now, or criminals hiding, or even toxic
chemicals stored, I don't know. But I may do it regardless. You know how
human is.

That cement factory completely destroyed the majority of the camp area,
and the remaining south parts of the camp was relatively lately
destroyed by Highway 30 and the surrounding businesses. It's all gone.
Only some of the names of important individuals are still there, given
to streets and boulevard etc.; "Remond Drive", La Reunion Blvd...

Remond Drive is the exact southern boundary of the camp right at that
white cliff. Remond was the only La Reunion member who accepted to take
part in the Civil War. He did great in many battles. Being highly
educated and as tough as a La Reunion member, is the best that any side
in wars want to have, at least in those years.

Ok, time to fuck yourselves.

Alright............... Some more on La Reunion. What I uploaded as a
sketch of La Reunion camp and area around it treated the camp itself
very roughly and with no detail whatsoever. It doesn't even give the
correct boundaries of the camp. There is a much more detailed sketch of
La Reunion main camp that's available with high resolution. It belongs
to the descendants of one of the closest friends and collaborators of
the guy who organized La Reunion. The sketch was made at the same time
that La Reunion was being built. That family (in France) recently
released a bunch of pictures and documents inherited and kept by them
about the subject, one of them, this very detailed and accurate sketch
of the main camp :)

It shows all the divisions and allotments that they'd created inside,
and had numbered each allotment. The shapes of the allotments are exact.
The numbers, then somewhere else, would each refer to a unique person or establishment or the particular agricultural or industrial use of that
lot. I don't have the latter list (yet) but I do have that detailed map :-)

It also shows that the camp consisted of yet another region located at
its southern boundary, going westward from it. This section of the camp
was not included in that French work of 1950s, so the sketch I uploaded
does not show that.

When you see the map, it makes you wonder why that particular shape. The
reason for it is that the rectangular land above this additional area
(and the adjacent west of main area), at the time that all that land was
being purchased, belonged to some Texan who would not budge selling it
no matter how much he was offered. So that whole larger area owned by La Reunion had ended up with a rectangular hole of a land inside it
belonging to some jackass who wouldn't sell for the heck of it; right
next to where they were going to build the main camp.

Ordinarily, something would happen to that jackass and the rectangular
land would get added to other Reunion possessions. That's how jackasses gradually eliminate themselves from the society. But La Reunion people
were peaceful people. So they decided to live with it .. Hehe :) So now everything had to circle around it, including that portion of the main
camp which is missing in the sketch I uploaded.

Crazy some Texans were in those days. They weren't even Texans, they
were mostly yahoos from Tennessee who had rushed into the area to get
the land free. Some smart aleck crazy bastards.

This better map of the camp uses that rectangular land that does _not_
belong to Reunion for inserting information in it about that map. It is
its note area :) Hehe :-)

This is the detailed map: (high resolution)

https://i.postimg.cc/6phf2247/detailed-la-reunion-camp.jpg

I want you to take a look at it. It is not that long these details have
been available to the public to see (only since 2020). With one look,
you should recognize the work of experts in designing, building, and
planning. You can see the difference between them and the bulk of Texans
who had arrived in the area shortly before them. Right there, you can
see what actually built Dallas a few short years later. It is an amazing
early visual of what was to come. :-)))))))

More on this ........ Boy coffee is kicking in, baby.... fuck. So in the original and accurate plan of the camp there was that rectangular "hole"
of land owned by that Jackass newly arrived "Texan", yet as you see in
the earlier rough sketch I uploaded, that rectangular hole had
eventually gone to Remond. Remond was the one who didn't quite follow
the nonviolence principles of La Reunion and had participated in the
Civil War. I bet right after coming back from the war, after seeing what
he had seen and doing what he had done, he either made that "Jim
Pennino" type jackass an offer he couldn't refuse, or just sent that son
of a bitch to hell and took possession of his land. Either way, good
riddance. It went to those who must've owned it to begin with. And the
jackass went to where jackasses belong. Out of sight, out of mind, or,
straight to Hell.

Even La Reunion could benefit from one or two bad apples in them :-))
Hahhaha :)

There was one more bad apple; he's known in Dallas as "The Cat", but his
years of activity was mid 1900's, not a century earlier. And the entire community of descendants of La Reunion tried everything to hide the fact
that he was a La Reunion descendant. He had chosen to compete with
Dallas's crime bosses involved in illegal entertainment (mostly
gambling); thus, had forgone his folks' ideals. Even up to like 20 years
ago they were still hiding that family relation with him (he was
actually a Santerre). I'll perhaps talk about that later. But as far as
I know, he was the only bad apple since Remond.

I do _not_ include Bonnie Parker among these bad apples. She was there
only by association, and did not do any harm to anybody. And suffered
greatly for her wanting to be with the man she admired and for not
leaving him alone. She could not even walk in those last weeks. She had
to be carried. Yet she didn't leave Barrow alone and died with him.

By the way, Now that I've spoken of Reverchon a few times, before I
forget I'd like to upload the only picture of him that I know exists:

https://i.postimg.cc/CMDy77Cq/Julien-Reverchon.jpg

It is from a Dallas history book published in 1892. The book itself is
in SMU special library where precious manuscripts are kept and guarded
round the clock.

Reverchon chose to be in La Reunion cemetery (Fishtrap) where also his
wife and two sons had earlier been interred. He'd lost his two sons
(Michel and Maximilien), 18 and 19 years old, to typhus fever, one
shortly after another, in 1884.

Ok, ... Now perhaps a few existing sources of information by the press.

A rare glimpse at the remnants and memory of La Reunion camp in Dallas
area is made in this 1891 Dallas Morning News article :) It is written
by an outsider Dallasite. I only quote excerpts here, as a large part of
the article (mostly their background ideological history) is not my
interest cause there are ample sources to explain them. What I'm
interested, is the history of these people themselves. Date of the
article is January 25, 1891:

"Thirty-six years ago, come the 27th of April, one traveling from
Dallas toward Fort Worth would have been attracted by a busy scene on
the right, when a point had been reached about three miles from the
river. In the center of an elevated plateau, this traveler would have
seen a numerous company of laborers busily engaged preparing to erect
houses. He would have heard the ring of the ax as it ate into the tree,
the crash of the saw, the whir of the plane, the sound of the hammer and
the clink of the trowel as a stone was shaped. If this traveler has been
of an inquiring mind and had turned from his route for a closer
inspection of this busy scene, surprise would have succeeded to idle curiosity."

"He would have heard these laborers talking as they worked, but
talking in unknown tongues. A song may have been caroled, but all save
its melody was meaningless to him. Had he asked a question of a workman,
he would have been answered by a shake of the head or a shrug of the
shoulders, the traveler would have passed on wondering. And well he
might wonder! For he had seen, unknowingly, a notable sight. He had seen
a colony of Europeans engaged in the beginning of an attempt to exploit
the peculiar social theories of Francois Charles Marie Fourier. He had
seen a company of communists, sans culottes, if you will, with their
heads full of formulas engaged in an attempt to found a Utopia on the
prairies of Texas. He had seen the laying of the foundations of the old
French colony, Reunion."

:-))

This was a sentiment that was given, then, about the La Reunion founders
of Dallas. That amazing impact was only 36 years old back then. Several
of the originals were still alive, doing great with their children and
grand children. And the kinship had also greatly expanded. They had a
hand into every important aspect of life in Dallas which didn't violate
their beliefs.

That's it for today. Time for you to go do what "engineers" do by the
hour. Shove huge cucumbers up your asses. How? Ask Mr. Vulva Hanson!

Perhaps I should not have brought up the above matter. But it seems to
me very unfair, now that I did, to just stop at that. One wouldn't pass
over such events with that degree of ease :(

So now I'm going to put the topic I was going to blabber about tomorrow
aside, and do a bit of justice to this important unfinished note first.

He (Julien) was born in France near Lyon. From childhood he became
interested in botany and by the age of 14 could give the names and
information about every single plant that existed around them in that
town near Lyon! So he was very special indeed. But it was his father
who'd picked up the Fourier germ, and when the latter was chosen to
participate in the La Reunion project, the financiers noted Julien's
special expertise in plants and added him to his father in that trip :)
That's how the 18-year-old Julien reached the La Reunion camp.

They got to the camp in 1856, so they didn't see much from that way of
life; La Reunion had already begun to slowly break down.

After the breakdown, and getting their own share of land, both father
and son began creating a one of a kind farm in that land. A very special
one. Something to prove to others that they could not accuse anything
that had to do with farming for the failure of La Reunion. I'll later
bring an eyewitness account of that farm - it was the solid proof that
they could grow anything they wanted on the same soil that the Texans
believed was impossible to farm on. Meanwhile, Reverchon kept on
gathering plant samples indigenous to Dallas area and later other areas
around Texas, all the time, along working on that special farm.

In 1864, he married a woman from the Henry family in La Reunion, who was granddaughter of one of Napoleon's Captains (the main Napoleon - the
first - not the funky ones who came later). Then, got busy with a
wonderful happy and rich life together with their two sons, full of
interesting as well as scientific botanical activities. Then, as I
mentioned above, suddenly both sons died of typhoid fever in 1884,
basically destroying their parents' lives. They had no other children.

Work on the special farm, and everything else, including the scientific
work, came to a stop.

But let me tell you what happened. The two young guys who'd just
perished, had a best friend who was always together with them :) This
friend was of no La Reunion origin. He was of those "yahoo" Texans
origin that I had talked about. His name was Robert Freeman. Freemen
himself was going through trying times at the loss of his two best
friends; plus his own parents, both, had died earlier and he had no
other siblings. He _knew_ what was happening to Reverchons in their now
empty house and lives. So he offered to live with them to keep them
company :) The grief-stricken couple having always seen the three
together, accepted, and from then on he lived with them kind of like an
adopted son... So in a strange way, a good bit of what was so unfairly
taken from their midst, for both Freeman and Reverchons, was thus
salvaged, both inside their desolate homes and lives, as well as inside
their hearts...

Work on Farm, and collection and classification of plants of Texas, thus continued :-))) Hahhhaha :)

Reverchon became a professor of botany in a university downtown.

Freeman, under such parents as Reverchons, became a physician (two of Reverchon's brothers were also physicians) and lived successfully in
Dallas till 1935. His grave is _not_ in La Reunion. I think because he
probably thought, in death, it was best to leave the Reverchon's
complete family undisturbed. His, perhaps for the same reason, would
better be beside his own parents.

Robert Freeman is interred in Grove Hill Memorial Park but I'm not sure
whether his parents are also there or not. I don't even know their names.

After Reverchon's wife died in 1901, Reverchon kept living with Freeman
until himself passed in 1905.

I don't need to say anything about Reverchon's famous collection of
botanical samples, which includes some named after him. There are ample
sources of information for that both in the field of botany and in the
press and media all over.

But, Reverchon also inherited a large collection of books and documents
from his father, some dating back to the French Revolution! They all
exist today in a collection. Among them is a letter from Napoleon (again
the main one!) directly written to his father, which Reverchon on many occasions had proudly shown around to his guests :-)

Ok, I believe I've shown my respect to that gentleman and his family
now, so tomorrow (if I wake up in time that is!) can go back to the
topic I had set aside without any lingering guilt :) Hehe :)

No, the offer was made from Reverchons _to_ Freeman after the former had
looked more into his whereabouts and realized the condition he was in
and how similar it was to theirs. I was writing from memory, now I've
checked it out. Freeman resisted the offer for a while but eventually
yielded. It was a 100% adoption from heart, not a "teenage roommate" thing.

What I don't know now, is whether Freeman was called "Robert" in that household, or ",Row'Berre" like it is pronounced in French. Hahhahhahha :))

You know, if I was a teenager and my name was Robert like any other
mortal, I wouldn't like to be called ,Ghow'Beagh in that strong French
accent, day in day out :-)) Hahhhahhah :-)

It could be that this was the number one reason Freeman resisted that
offer at first. Hahhahah :) .... fuck.

"We love you ,Ghow'Beagh" ... Fuck THAT! Hahhhahaha :-)))

Poor Robert... swopping the memory of your natural free spirited parents
with a pedantic highly disciplined and demanding Reverchons... :)

Back to track. Ok, let me bring a bit more from the same old article
from Dallas Morning News: (the last two paragraphs of it indeed)

"The original colonists are rapidly passing away. Mr. Girard died
the other day, and so did Mr. Henry, and the few yet remaining are
advanced in years. Soon, Reunion will be only a tradition in Dallas."

"One traveling westward from Dallas now would hardly notice the
elevated plateau where Reunion was founded. The busy hum of labor that
was heard there thirty-five years ago, is hushed. Cows wander where the
joyous sons of France once gave their fetes champetres. The ball room
has long since crumbled; the co-operative store is used for a barn. Of
the many houses that once dotted that plateau, only four remain, and
they have long since fallen into decay, as the sketches of them show.
Reunion, with its enthusiasts who talked of the philosophers and yet
knew not how to plow, has gone. The theory which Fourier spent his life
in propagating, has failed. Individualism was too much for formula.

- January 25, 1891, Dallas Morning News, Pt. 3, p. 1


Heheh :-))

That proverbial "Knew not how to plow".... Right there you recognize an outsider Dallasite. Because this claim is one of the old lies. Yes,
already old back then. So now it's getting interesting, cause we're
getting closer to the heart of the matter as far as the question of why
La Reunion failed is concerned.

But I don't want to delve into it right at the moment. For me, it
touches a longstanding mental bruise that has been continuously
aggravated, worsening over time, each time I detect such lies that
cowards among Americans present to me as their "history". I want to kick
ass when I can fully expose that ass, not while hurrying up finishing
this shit so I can get busy with my own life.

So let's speak of a benign, or at least less painful aspects of the
matter from the above article. It refers more than once to La Reunion
camp as "that elevated plateau." Sure it was an elevated land in those
days, but as I briefly pointed at, that whole area's soil was used up by
the cement factory which later sat beside it, and ate it, to the extent
that today it is not only not an elevated area, but it rather looks like
one of those huge foundations that they dig to later build a skyscraper
on ... The factory _consumed_ all that elevation down to below the
ground level :(

Here is a picture of workers (and bosses) busy erasing that "elevated
plateau." The feast had begun in 1907.

They ate it up like termites and finished it up. Talking about perfect annihilation... What a fate.

But hey... as I'll explain more, in fact it was overall no harm done
(that's why they let it happen I guess). Because, the same Reunion had continued with all force and vitality elsewhere, honey!

Perhaps tomorrow I return to that "knew not how to plow" show of cowardice.

So... back to "Knew not how to plow" syndrome .... Certainly up to this
day you can hear that same false statement anytime an outsider writes
about La Reunion. The excuse is one of several, "Knew not how to plow"
or... "They weren't farmers, so could not farm" Or, ... they were
"communists" ... or, "Their men dressed like women." ... or, "Their
heads were full of useless formulas." ... or, "Individualism overwhelmed
them."

All such excuses are false! They're nothing but that, just excuses.

And none of these outsiders, practically not even one of them, mentions
that La Reunion opposed slavery! Hehe :)

What fucking cowards indeed, not to even want to _touch_ that. Right in
your face! So American, so American indeed that I see that even here in
this forum every day. You know damn well what I'm talking about. Yes,
your asses. I'm talking about your coward asses!

Neither these cowards mention that La Reunion would _not_ engage in
war!... Some "historians" for us, no? Well "history" your own limited
asses then. We Iranians, Indians, Chinese, Hispanics think for
ourselves, not in your fucking CH terms.

So this is where Americans' shiny asses fall out in the open. They are incapable of talking about their shortcomings, therefore incapable of
writing history. A foreigner should step in, throw their lying asses out
of the way, and write it _for_ them. A French, or a Pole, or ... an Iranian!

No wonder already generations back, Iranians translated French sources
for information they needed to provide about USA for their high schools.
They must've taken a look at the jokes that you smart alecks had written
as your "history" and kissed your asses goodbye from then on! I can
speak for myself on that. This is not a joke. It is what you are! Global
pests.

Sheep is sheep guys! What else did you expect.

That entire article (in fact it was much larger than just what I
quoted), did not even once mention the word "slavery". It did not
mention La Reunion's firm stance against getting themselves involved in
wars. It did not mention how fiercely they had refused to give in to the demands of the government of Texas to get them to participate in the
coming war. Some of the La Reunion people even left USA under that
pressure. You know, American South was busy in those same years thinking
hard what else other than a war with Yankees could solve their problems.

The entire South had a big problem on their hands. They could not, EVER, influence the Congress because they didn't have enough seats in there. Population was plenty high in the South, mind you, and yet the number of
seats they got only counted the Whites in the south, not the actual
population. The rest of them were slaves and American Natives. Their
numbers were kept hidden. It was as if they didn't even exist.

How can one come up with a solution in this?... At some point, you just
have to admit that you don't belong to that country, no? If you cannot,
ever, have your way in the government, you do not belong to that country.

So the State's near future was clear to see; the only outcome by the
way, if they wanted to hang on to their enslaving millions of people.
What they didn't know was whether Yankees would let them secede
peacefully. This matter was already hot in Texas right at the beginning
of La Reunion formation. In fact it'd gotten hot just months after Texas
had offered near-free land to organizers of La Reunion and state
recognition of them as Texans in 1952. It took the organizers a year to
arrange all that and be there present in La Reunion camp, but as soon as
they arrived government of Texas backstabbed them. Now land had 10 times
the price and even that wasn't sold to them easily. Newspapers in
Houston and Austin were attacking them all the time, calling them
"cancer" and "communists" and ... anything except mentioning the slavery!

A war would very likely be inevitable, and these Reunion people didn't
believe in it one bit. They had left everything they had in Europe just
to get away from such lunacies. The entire state of Texas could not
tolerate 350 individuals who didn't support slavery and war. Be it, that
these 350 individuals were superior in abilities compared to _any_ 350 individuals you'd pick in Texas. They didn't want them!

Did you read my ACOB blog? Of course my little worms. You did that. But
did it go over your pin heads, or do you in fact see that the lack of
STRP was in full gear in that matter those days? Instead of correcting themselves, which was a taboo even to this fucking day, they accused 350
of the best individuals in the world of not being like them, and began attacking them in the media (press) and in the state government in
Austin, and in every major business city in Texas, even in that tiny
village of Dallas! There was one newspaper there, some half a page note
they printed for the farmers. Even in that paper La Reunion was being
attacked.

La Reunion had to _forge_ forward in Texas. None of the help that they'd
been promised just one year earlier was delivered to them.

Yet the con man who wrote that DMN article in 1891, 36 years after the
fact, is still trying hard to conceal that fact by ascribing La
Reunion's failure to, for the lack of anything better, their inability
to farm!

When an Iranian spits on you as a people, it does not mean there's
something wrong with that guy. It means you just received a chance that
you didn't deserve to get, motherfuckers.

Well, lucky for you, cause the smart ones kept coming to this country
and kept your ship afloat, and "smart" never meant "smart aleck". So
fucking lucky you. You got that going for another 120 years more, and
then there was the December of 1977.

Now see for yourselves whether smart alecks can have the seamanship in
them to keep it afloat.

Your benefactors have began colluding against you, sucking your
disgusting blood out and spitting them on your own faces. Smart alecks
aren't forever, honey.

When the waiting 22 nations joins BRICS, this one way highway of brains
into your midst will totally cease to exist! Then we'll see how this
"ship" stays afloat.

Seamanship is an art, knowledge, and competence that doesn't come
naturally by itself. Certainly not among the smart alecks.

Ok, later. Now stick it up one of yours. Who? Of course that volvulating
Mr. Vulva Hanson.

I'm now doubting whether it was a typo from my side or some weird auto-correction going on by the news-server itself. I'm almost sure I
typed 1852, not 1952.

Anyway, obviously 1852 is correct. The deal between the organizer of La
Reunion and the state of Texas was made in 1852. La Reunion began in
1853, a year later.

Ok, that's it for the corrections. Now some more on La Reunion....
Hmm.... I think I've waken up too early after such an eventful day
yesterday. Went to bed at 8 pm, so 5.5 hours of sleep. Nah... it should
do for a Saturday.

by the way, the whole life feels different now just on the account of
weather alone! At last it looks like Summer heat's back got bent a
little bit :) Damn. This Summer's HELL began mid April, and we got to
see the first drop of rain just over last weekend. That's 5 months in a
row of 100 to 114 degree days. And it may again come back too I bet in a
few days, this is Texas.

Not that I mind that at all, I don't. I even enjoy it in many ways :) I
like such extremes, and prefer it to boring near constant mild weathers
where "Pennino"s of this world are quick to rush to. Tropical areas and
more or less constant temperature areas of west coast are for morons.
Come to Texas and see what weather means :) Its winters busts all the
exposed plumbing you have, and its summers won't let even bugs out of
their holes. Not even mosquitos.

Its powerful winds can topple any tree, save for those that can
withstand even tornados! In other words, your asses don't know what
"weather" even means, until you live in Texas. Cause in here, you may be
one minute watching your TV and next minute hiding in your bathtub with
a good sized heavy mattress on top of you. That's weather!

And one day it's cold, next day it's sizzling hot, and the next day it's
cold again then the day after, hot again, and one shiny day starts with
bright sun then gets rainy so intensely that flooding makes some areas
of Dallas dangerous, even killing some people who get caught in them unprepared. Temperature difference between day and night easily reaches
45 degrees and is maintained like that for weeks!

They must've been forced to design A/Cs with heater and cooler both in
the same unit to be able to sell any of them in Texas. Such dual purpose
units were already everywhere here when I arrived in 1978.

The governor of Texas himself got knocked down by a tree that was
toppled by wind, while he was jogging. Lost the use of his legs. That's "weather" baby. You won't know what's coming even a minute before it comes.

But I like it that way :-))) Even in Iran as a kid or teen or a very
young man any change in weather was exciting to me. Especially any
extremes. Here, 5 months without one drop of rain, and an average of 106
temp, is welcome by me. Grass here doesn't even get to go away. Doesn't
get the opportunity, you see. It just freezes in place in another color; yellow! Everywhere that's green grass, is pure yellow for 5 months each
year.

I thought I was supposed to speak about La Reunion this early morning.
Hehe :) It'll be another day then. Plus I may get a couple more hours of
sleep for good measure.

Ok, damn, I forgot even where I was in that story. I touched the fact
that I find Americans turn into smart alecks when writing history. I
found this almost immediately after coming to this country. Ok, now I
remember, I wanted to tell you exactly when it was that I noticed it :)

In 1979 I was a serious grad student of physics in UTD, and yet had read
enough of this "history" bullshit to have come to the conclusion that
Americans cannot write history books. I had decided that I will not read
a history book that's written by an American. You might's well enjoy
being conned. I didn't, and don't.

In fact I never read another history book that an American had written
till two years back in the middle of Covid lock down, and only after a
friend who knows me since 1980 insisted that this book was different and generally history books have improved. Having ample time on my hand and
with much skepticism, I got his copy and began reading. Very soon I
detected the writer was trying to philosophize their fuck ups either
away, or tone them down as if it came with the territory in some way. I
gave the book back. I had read half of the first chapter of a 20+
chapter book. I don't think I'll ever read one again.

The thing is, this matter goes beyond your being smart alecks. It even
goes beyond "races" or cultures, or access to sources or ... I am
certain it is a species matter. I am Modern Human and you are
cro-magnons. That's the problem you have.

But the first of such notices I ever made is a funny story of its own. I
was in Half Price Books store one evening early in September 1978, in
one of the only 2 or 3 stores that back then they had; not in the
original one they'd launched (in Lovers Ln), that one was I think still
open but was very small. It had been a laundromat before. HPB was only 6
years old then :) This store was its biggest; their main store. It was
located a bit south of Knox Henderson St and McKinney Ave intersection
north of downtown, or to be historically correct, just north of
"uptown." That place exists today, but is an excellent all you can eat Mediterranean restaurant. They bake their own bread right there in a
"tanoor" :) Not even a sign of being tight in giving huge dishes of
various kinds, all perfectly and voluminously prepared. I can't even
count how many times I've been there with or without others with me.
Anytime I'd been close to the area I'd ended up there as well for a nice
treat.

They have opened many more restaurants throughout Dallas now. Good
restaurants give a lot of good delicious food for your money, and
they're the ones who last and get bigger and bigger. Bullshit in the
form of food doesn't sell or last. If only Americans could understand
that.. You have no idea how many hundreds of restaurants in Dallas open
every year, then by the next year close down. They never learn. This,
also, has to do with their being smart alecks.

But back then in last months of 1978, the same place was this HPB and
didn't even have enough lighting at some of its corners. You'd have to
get used to the dark first to make out titles or read. I was there to
find an elementary math book by Mir Publishers that I'd seen in Tehran,
knowing that the store had a lot of such Russian physics and math books
in English sold very cheap. I needed to quickly read it to learn English equivalent words for all those hundreds of elementary math and geometry concepts we learned in high school. I knew the words in Persian of
course but had not gotten a need to know their English equivalents until
then in grad school in UTD. Physics words, no problem. I already knew
all the equivalents.

I got that book. It is one of the ones that never got tossed no matter
what happened to me and my place of living. Perhaps because to me, it is
what a Bible is to you cro-magnons.

So I got my book, then while walking towards the cashier I came across a
newly published large book of chronological milestones of the world
history, piled on top of each other like a pyramid on the floor, and
opened one to see what the heck it said about Iran's main historical
events as brief outlines. It was written by some New Yorker cocksucker.
I mean a first rate cocksucker. I immediately sensed it was deliberately omitting important events that should've been mentioned. Like he
pretended he knew more about Turks and Arabs than about Iran. So I
quickly schemed to more and more recent history sections of it and
reached the last year it mentioned, 1978! I saw even in the couple of
notes it had about Iran, it kept referring to Khomeyni as a
"self-exiled" cleric...

That was it. The first one. I had encountered a coward American writing "history" about my country. Not only hiding it, but also fabricating it!

In a few more months, especially around end of summer 1979 (i.e. within
one year total), I had already decided that I was done with reading
history books written by Americans. I knew they didn't have it in
themselves anything nearly enough to handle such tasks.

So this La Reunion affair in Dallas and Texas is for the same reasons
heavily affected by the same malady. And Wolski's work doesn't get
translated for same reasons.

A lot of La Reunion people were still pretty close-knit in mid-1900s.
The very last of the ones who were actually born in La Reunion camp died
in 1950s. The last adult among the originals died in 1920s (hers is in
Fishtrap - She was a Santerre). But the descendants of them are of
course now around in large numbers, and kicking mighty good as well.
It's not just their existence! It is also their _influence_ that shapes
today's Dallas. I need to explain this somewhere in this blog.

First, just where are they? :-)

In just about every part of Dallas, if you get keen to look very closely
and diligently (cause they're trying not to get attention), you can find greatly taken cared areas with lots of huge trees that are rather hard
to stumble upon, even hard to reach sometimes, and are full of
magnificent houses and beautiful trees and gardens. Almost all of them
are descendants of the La Reunion! The perfection in anything that
pertains gardening is something that is inherited from those originals
because they were mostly experts in creating orchards.

Dallasites who were not themselves of La Reunion origin claim those
originals didn't know farming and that's why they failed. It's a lie,
the truth of which is I bet hidden in Wolski's diary, and was proven by Reverchon's sample farm.

Reverchon, sensing such nonsense claim from Texans around, spent a few
years to prove them otherwise. He single handedly created a farm that
made every Dallasite's jaw drop! Literally. He even grew bananas here,
honey. So "Knew not how to plow" your own stinking lying asses.

I'll bring you an evidence of that later cause I saw it somewhere and do
not remember where. But I'll find it and bring that evidence here! The
full description of his farm, observed with wide eyes and in awe. La
Reunion people were a league ahead of other Texans around them,
including in matters of farming.

Today $6 B of Iran's money in South Korea was first converted to Euro
then delivered to her. Iran wouldn't take dollars. This shows some
residual trade is still active either directly between Iran and Europe,
or Russia is accepting Euro from Iran for whatever they're selling; in
turn showing Russia may also be making a lot of trade with Europeans.


https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/americans-freed-prisoner-swap-iran-rcna105433

But the point is, "dolla nommo." :)

They used some unimportant "prisoner exchange" bullshit of show as
excuse to get this money back to Iran so quickly and efficiently!... I
wonder if South Korea is contemplating to ask for BRICS membership. Boy
if that happens... Hehe :) What else can be the cause of this sudden move.

Are both North and South Korea secretly negotiating to join back
together? Why North Korea leader personally was in Russia and with Putin
last week?

Hmm... it may be that more than just "dolla" is "nommo" :-))

Wow.. But then, sooner or later it's obvious all that's going to happen.
The road to future was clear to see after February 4, 2022 meeting
between China and Russia. They even published the guidelines of the
future. I sent a link to that text to this forum, perhaps even somewhere
in this same blog! So more than your "dolla", is about to get "nommo."

Now while I haven't dozed off, a bit more from that same DMN article:

"On April 26, 1852, Dallas had a sensation somewhat different from
those which usually furnished her with gossip. On that day, several
wagons drawn by patient oxen, came into the town from the direction of
Houston. There was nothing in the appearance of a train of ox wagons of
a sensational character, for even then, the star of empire was taking
its way westward. But the men who came with these wagons were different
from the ordinary immigrants. They wore blouses, which gave them a
womanish appearance to the strapping Texan pioneers, clad in their
buckskin garments, trophies of their prowess in the chase. On their feet
were wooden sabots, contrasting strangely with the leather shoes which
encased the feet of the natives. Perhaps a bonnet rouge may have
crimsoned the head of some of the strangers. For these men were of revolutionary brood. Their parents had probably seen Robes Pierre's
guillotine at its busiest and they, themselves, had probably danced the carmagnole and felt their blood grow feverish as they chanted the
Marseillaise with its "allons! marchons! pour la patrie." The curiosity
of the citizens of Dallas was soon gratified with regard to these
strangers. Mr. Guillot, said to be the first Frenchman who settled in
Dallas, was living here. He could converse with the strangers for they
were his countrymen; and it is likely that he told the curious who they
were and what they proposed doing. The strangers did not tarry in the
town. They passed on to the Trinity, crossed it on a rude bridge said to
have been constructed by Mr. Cockrell, father of the Cockrells who live
here now, pushed on across the bottoms and camped that night three miles
beyond the Trinity. Their camp was the site of Reunion. They began work
the next day. The first group of the French colony had arrived and
Dallas county had received the nucleus of her foreign population."

"The story of the old French colony, or of Reunion, is almost like a
leaf out of a romance. It was an attempt to establish communism, or, as
the leaders of the movement put it, social democracy in America on a
large scale. The peculiar school which the colonists represented was
that of Fourier."

"..."

"It was not necessary to abolish private property, nor was the
privacy of family life impossible. Each family may have separate
apartments and there may be richer and poorer members."

"..."

"The character of the colonists, too, was good. They were sturdy
artisans, mostly, and staunch republicans all. They believed in liberty, equality and fraternity as cardinal principles ... "

"..."

"The French and Belgian colonists rendezvoused at Antwerp and the
Swiss and German at Zurich. From those places, they were to begin the
journey to Texas. The plan was to send the colonists out in groups, the
groups to meet at New Orleans and from there, proceed to Texas. Of
course, the delays incident to travel deranged these plans. Some groups
reached New Orleans before others and immediately pushed on to Dallas."

"..."


Got to hit the sack now.

There is a chance.

This evening I read in an Iranian news portal that the released $6 B
wasn't even among agreements, had negotiations for re-establishing JCPOA
proved successful ...! It wasn't included, and was non-negotiable.

So the push must've come from South Koreans themselves. Americans
must've only obliged to keep relations with Korea from going sour.

This agency's news coverage is accessible only via Telegram, as through
web and from USA that site cannot be reached. It's blocked. Go figure.
It must have some goodies there winking at Americans' exposed asses, no?

So thank god we have Telegram... For ten years it has proven itself
valuable to me. In fact my folks in Iran told me about it back then. If Iranians find a social media effective, safe, and useful, believe me,
that social media has been all that and more. Thank you Durov brothers.
It is still serving the good causes you two believed in and so much
struggled for. Thank you!

So there's something very important behind this $6 B deal which has
nothing to do with "prisoner exchange" bullshit. And the way it looks,
it has everything to do with processes in the world, over which U.S.
government has no control.

I went over today's Telegram hush hush news. You don't see these stuff
in your media.

South Koreans have busted 17 American military personnel, plus 5 more
figures that they have not revealed their identities (read that, "5
American diplomats!"), for trafficking weed into South Korea...

Another pointer, no? Something has changed between South Koreans and
USA. $6 B is no joke. I think there is a chance Americans are losing
that country to BRICS.

Or, perhaps Americans "delivered an ultimatum" to Korean head of state
before this last BRICS gathering took place :) A fuck up, that is.

Another interesting piece. Ben Salman has mentioned the Iranian nukes
industry in an unusual way this time :) As if it already exists! I think
now they know it. Hahhhaha :-)

So as friends indeed, he wants to have them also, not just Iran. He said
"We want them too. It is important in settling the matter of
Palestinians with the Israelis so we could have normal and natural
relations with them."

So Saudis now, for the first time in 75 years, actually want to settle
that matter! Gee, the diplomatic relations with Iran has barely even
started (last week indeed!) and Ben Salman wants nukes so he can come to
a fair settlement with Israel.

What is _not_ like the past 75 years with Saudis?

"One by one" indeed :)

I'm trying to find something about his views on "petro dalla" but cannot
find :) It would be interesting (and important) to know what he decides
to say about it.

Ok, before I fall asleep again let's give it another shot at La Reunion.
This is from a much older post-Civil-War Dallas newspaper article (1866):


"La Renunion"

"Within three or four miles of the town of Dallas, on the West
side of the river, near Reunion, the reader may see (if he will take the trouble to go that far), a rare sight for this section of country, and
one which we could hardly believe, if not aware of the facts, and which
will convince anyone that Northern Texas is capable of producing almost
any fruit raised in the tropics. Mr. Reverchon, who lives 1 1/2 miles
south of Reunion, has in his garden, besides almost every species of
garden vegetable known to this continent, fruits of almost every clime,
such as grapes, of Italy and France, together with such as are common to
Texas; Apricots, larger than the ordinary peach, Quinces of the best
quality, Pears, Plums (almost as large as walnuts), Nectarines, Peaches
of the most luscious kind, and equal to any grown in any part of the
United States, Apples of various kinds, Almonds, both hard and soft
shell, full size and growing upon trees from 10 to 15 feet high,
Bananas, and a number of other fruits of the United States, the West
Indies and Europe, of which we do not now remember the names. Besides
the above Mr. R. has a rare selection of flowers of every variety, and
his gardens are laid off and adorned in a manner equal to those of
European and other cities."

" - June 2, 1866, Dallas Herald, p. 2."


Does that sound like people who "knew not how to plow"? ...

La Reunion's wheat and corn fields and orchards extended into nearby
areas of today's Arlington, Irving, Grand Prairie, and Oak Cliff. Even
after extensive urbanization today, the area still sometimes encounters
the old trees from such orchards, and excitedly report them.

Generally, the first of _anything_ in Dallas was built, first, by La
Reunion individuals and groups. Brick bakeries, cement factories, sewage system, water treatment facilities, dairy industries, breweries and
wineries, schools, stadiums, theatres, airports, hospitals, research
centers, ...

"Knew not how to plow"? ... What a coward to say such thing.

What a "Jim Pennino"...


Back to present. My wife, drove me to show some of these hidden
communities in and around Dallas that I would not have discovered on my
own in a hundred years. Unbelievably well-kept, well-disguised from
outside, amazingly beautiful, full of wonderful trees and houses like
you'd want the Heaven itself be like, so you may some day perhaps reach
it and "live" in.. . So many of them are inside and around Dallas area.
And _all_ of them are occupied mainly by the La Reunion descendents.
They didn't scatter themselves all over USA like the smart alecks who'd
rushed in to get free land, or gone to the Gold Rush; because they
didn't need to. Money, beauty, art, science, everything they ever long
for is right here for them, because they're the ones who created them.
The best hospitals in the world. The best medical research centers. The
best art, anytime they want. The topmost cancer fighting research groups
are right here (several Nobel winners among them). This faction of
society is all over the area, but rather inside those semi-hidden
communities that amount to "oases" in the middle of the zoo outside and
around them. The kind of zoo you see in any other Texas city.

Even the guy I spoke with after that Craigslist deal, when a bit of
dispute came up as to where Reverchon's land was, I asked him, "What
about the direct east from here? What's there?" He said, "Oh there's
where the millionaires are, the area on the other side of the thick
creek here is theirs and we can't even get there, we don't even know how!"

Heheheh :-) Yep. That sounded like one of them communities.

In North Dallas, the street named after the guy who built the Reunion
Tower downtown, on the entire length of one side, has one of such
communities in it. All you see from that street is very tall trees
beyond the tall wall along that side. I have driven around it and could
not find an entrance, even though one or more must exist. I mean they
don't use helicopters to get to their homes I'm sure. They just design
them so it wouldn't be obvious from outside.

They don't need to go to "California" baby. A "Jim Pennino" needs to go
to California, not them.

If you're a nobody in Dallas, yeah you'd probably want to go to
California thinking you become one when you get there!

They grow their own roots on the spot that _they_ are, remember my
description of ATM Function in Modern Humans? And they've preserved
their ideals in them, creating a faction quite useful, as well as
wanted, among the societies they live with. Extremely livable and good
to have around you. Crucial among such ideals is that as they enjoy the
best of life themselves, they also share them with others around them,
because that's part of being La Reunion.

If I get time, I may go over some of such sharing with which I've had
personal experience.

This thing is taking too much of my time weeknights. I better continue
anything about it on weekends only.

People of La Reunion origin, today, make a wide range of income via an extensive array of professions and businesses. My ex, the lowliest of
the lowliest of them, is an NP. A somebody. They're all "somebody"s. But
they rather strictly avoid any form of activity that is war related or
violent in nature, or such businesses which turn some faction of people
into modern day slaves. Even my ex had been pressed for years by her
folks for participating in some form of activity related to abortion as
part of her duties in the hospital. They're anti-abortion.

If you happen to work for their businesses, you'll have a job in which
you can have a life alongside as well and save money too. If same
business is owned by an outsider, Dallasite or not, the employees
usually have to sacrifice the quality of their lives to gain comparable
income. But there are of course limits for good jobs in Dallas, so
competition is high for getting a job offered by Reunion owners, even
for ones that are designed for essentially menial work (e.g. Costco,
Uline, etc). People, by reputation, know that such jobs, as simple as
they are, offer quite superior pay and benefits, so they struggle to get
them. This leads to entrance exams! This is how you can detect the ones
owned and run by Reunion people.

My ex-boss in the Chinese company that I used to work, quit his job and
got hired by Uline at a position comparable to mine in that Chinese
company. So it was, you may say, a demotion for him. He later told me
the experience was identical to enjoying excellent jobs from late 1960s
period (he was my age). You'd live alongside, and you'd make ample money
fast. This is almost impossible to arrange when you work for outsiders,
because the latter are just a bunch of smart alecks. They'd have you
work Saturdays and Sundays too, and pay is kept low enough for you to
often work your weekends to make ends meet and put a little aside. They
don't care.

There are no worker unions in Dallas, but by the sheer presence of La
Reunion influence, if you get one of their jobs it is exactly as if you
have a worker union supporting you and watching over you as well, so you
could also have a life alongside your job.

But this part of the blog is not about workers or other people. It is
about La Reunion people themselves. So I am coming back to describe them better.

Their ideals aren't forgotten! This is the main point.

They're still held and practiced to this day. Even the La Reunion Tower
with that ball on top could not be built before it did... Cause their
full ideals had not been met yet. It was still too early to celebrate
success.

Today, in every non-violent activity, you see the hands of La Reunion
people. Art, science, music, sports, entertainment, dairy products, construction, farming, charity-run hospitals, aviation, housing,
education, social services, research centers, universities, libraries,
"special collections" .... In every thing positive and/or needed that
has a non-violence nature to it.

They're _not_ in war-related industries because it violates La Reunion
ideals.

They're art loving. They lift a finger, and for just one performance of
the Nut Cracker suite for their _children_, right in the Christmas Eve
hours, the best of the best ensemble of the world's dancers and
orchestras fly over and come to downtown Dallas for just one
performance! You'd think this is as private as it can get, right? Wrong.
The event is accessible to public, cheap too! I've seen three of them,
first one on my own, one with that Swiss girlfriend, and one with my ex
wife. The hardest part of that Pas de Deux part is a feat that can be
performed only by two or three women in the world at any time and era
you pick, yet the best of that two or three is always the one doing it
in those events in downtown. Each year on Christmas eve!

More examples from classical music? How about Maria Callas, honey? Do
you even know who she was? We Iranians knew her from Iran because
anybody around the world knew about her; we even knew her story of life,
a fat girl who had once had to swallow a baby tapeworm so she could get
thin enough for finding jobs as a soprano singer before she was famous.
Callas was the undisputed world number one in soprano. There were pieces
that only she could perform. No one else in the world at the time did
them without errors! She came over to Dallas to again make just one performance, sounds familiar? She sang those famous pieces. She did it flawlessly. Right here in Dallas. I was just a kid then elsewhere in the
world. But if my family was here, I'd be speaking of it here from my own memories.

I read somewhere that about 10 or so of her enemies had also flown over
to be there on the front rows just to detect one error, so they could go
back and raise hell in their media outlets about it... None of them got
even one. They all went back empty-handed.

Helping others, friend or foe, in the fields that they are active in, is
part of the deal for them. It is part of what La Reunion stands for. I
paid only an average of $20 per ticket for the Christmas Eve Nutcracker
events and they even included free parking downtown. Do you think it
could cover the cost of bringing the top 200 people in the world
downtown to make just one performance? Of course not. It was almost all
paid by La Reunion people, not me or the like. Our money couldn't even
pay the electricity bill for that performance. Forget the rent for that
huge opera house, payments for each of those 200 individuals that
included the best in the world, their cost of coming and then leaving
after only one performance! Cost of creating and printing the nice
booklet they gave you with the ticket which contained everything you'd
need to know about those performers and what they performed ... Are you
kidding me? Social services of all sorts is part of their ideals dating
back from that camp.

And that's just classical music baby.

How about Rock music? I saw The Police performing in an auditorium in
SMU for an audience not much larger than an ordinary dollar movie
theater, at the highest point in their popularity, in 1980! It was a
private gathering indeed. I was there cause La Reunion people had
advertised it in Dallas Observer so the public also would have a chance.
It was not announced on radio because space was so limited. I rushed and
bought two tickets, $8 each :-))) Still have the stubs. It was, even
then, worth at least $800 each, really much more, but when the La
Reunion people are behind such gatherings, it is essentially for all,
not just the super rich. Me and my girlfriend (the Swiss one again)
happily waited till the date arrived, and went there and enjoyed a heck
of a night of performance by that band, together with an amazing array
of people present; at times all of us were uncontrollably jumping up and
down like Sting himself. And there was this tall guy with full Saudi
Arabian outfit sitting right in the middle of the audience, and every
time the music reached its climax he would stand up and hold his hands
out horizontally like a cross, pulling the white garb with it and an
intense beacon from the scene of the band would turn on directly on him!
The combined effect was staggering. It was exactly like Jesus had
descended on us. He did that several times, right at the peak moments.

But gradually, nobody could sit anymore. We first found ourselves
standing and shouting and singing with the band, then to be able to see
the band at all from behind standing people in front of us we had to
constantly change our location inside the auditorium :-))) Everybody had
begun moving around to see the band!... The Arab guy was forgotten
history by then, Hehheeh :-)

The attendants themselves were as interesting as the band and the music
indeed. Very wealthy, which was obvious to see, educated, unbelievably well-dressed, speaking in different languages with each other (hey so
did I - I was trilingual - on many occasions I spoke in German with
her). It was gas, I don't know what else to tell you. And just one
performance. Imagine the amount of money those art-loving people had
paid to have The Police fly over to be theirs that entire night. It was
a one-night performance.

When it was over, we came out and discovered the whole area around the
building (McFarlin auditorium) was surrounded on all sides by people,
mostly students of SMU themselves, who had heard the loud music from
outside and come to see what the heck was happening in there. In fact,
it took us like one hour to drive the car out of that area! We had
parked very close to the building and were trapped by people who wanted
to at least see The Police members leave. They wouldn't budge. We drove
home that night, wondering if we'd ever had a more exciting night in our
young lives, constantly making meaningful smiles to each other... It was
gas. I still have the two stubs somewhere buried in the attic. Could not
throw them away (even after my wife years later asked me to).

Thank you people of the La Reunion origin, thank you The Police. You
made a sensation in the lives of many people that night. All for $8 a
ticket :) The auditorium wasn't even fully filled... Back rows were
empty. Very private.

And I've not forgotten who instilled all this among so many.

This is how it is, sometimes:

https://streamable.com/hod5ik

Do you have that in "California"? .. :) Hehe :) You don't know what
weather can do, or what it is.

And this is just a tiny little bitty one. Something you could stand or
even fly nearby and film. The big ones, those big ones do not let you be
near and even see anything, because there's always rain involved and the
soil and rain are mixed into mud and get flying up and around completely
mixed with air, making it 100% opaque, and they are huge. No matter what
time of the day it is, all you can see of them is a huge black lopsided
cup with the diameter of the town itself, and only from a great
distance. Anywhere closer is totally dark.

When one of the big ones hit somewhere south of Dallas, I, in those days
living in Plano way north of Dallas, had noticed that rain and dirt were fiercely travelling horizontally around my place... Even from that great distance, it was like you're standing right next to it!... I had to hold
on to the sturdy metal fence around my little garden so I wouldn't get
pushed this way and that way by the force of that wind. And you could
not see shit in any direction. Pitch black, although it was just early
after sunset. There was so much dirt in the air, that got into your
mouth, nose, and eyes! This was its effect 30 miles away from it.

That was one of the big ones. Even grasslands had disappeared in its
path in outskirts of south Dallas. Forget houses or other buildings or
trees. Nothing from and none of the people in that path was found later.
Gone!

In your "California", if it's just a blissful existence softly nestled
between layers of luxurious comfort, where every moment feels like the
same god damn moment you've ever seen and had and known, then life isn't
lived. In Dallas, weather _is_ part of your life, you see. A good part
of it indeed. Nobody here leaves home without checking the weather
forecast. Cause if he doesn't, he might not come back!

Even this aspect of Dallas separates men from "Jim Pennino"s.

So, for that McFarlin concert, the ticket for what it was for was
ridiculously cheap. Somebody had paid the difference :) Plus it was
obvious to me that they had limited the number of the tickets printed so
the place doesn't get too crowded. Back rows were all empty. If there
were tickets for them left, it was impossible to not sell for such an
occasion. The Police was well known and well loved everywhere. Their
Walking on the Moon video song was on TV in the area and Radio always
played their hits.

The Reggatta de Blanc album was already hot all around the world. Their
earlier album also was hot in Tehran before I came to USA (Outlandos
d'Amour). In Dallas, my then "roommate" had heard me play the newer
album and had expressed interest, so I bought another copy for her
birthday present. She was listening to it day and night in between her
studies, and that's after not having even heard of the band's name
before (Swiss people didn't watch TV or listen to Radio). Everybody
loved their music on first encounter. The Police really was one of the
best reggae music bands. Anyway, in 1980 they were already top everywhere.

Only when the concert was at last finished (and the end really dragged
on and on and the band came back to stage several times - we wanted to
hear all their best hits and there were plenty of them), the crowd
outside was let to pour in to see the band, buy T-Shirts, medallions,
etc, and filled the space.

So if you're in Dallas area and are paying chicken shit for a similar
event that's as hot as that one was, rest assured the difference is
being paid by the children of those same people who were there that
night, so you'd have a chance to be there along with them. Because
that's part of what they believe to begin with. Part of the reason they
ended up of all the places, in Dallas.

By the way, the breathtaking woman who sold The Police albums, t-shirts
and various insignia, etc, in the hall right outside and adjacent to the
main auditorium was wearing nothing but a scanty tiger skin dress,
together with a strong Dallas accent :) A stunning scene... . You'd know
her origin right after hearing the way she said, "Appreciate it." Only Dallasites say it with that accent. Was she one of them? Probably :)

These people's money runs unbelievably huge charities, totally
independent of state and federal help. It is not that they have any
aversion to get help from government, or even you, no not at all. If
help is available they sure get it! But _also_ when government help is
not available, they and their money is there to save you. The entire
Parkland Hospital system itself is run mainly privately by their money.
Any patient is welcome from any creed, color, nationality, ... anyone.
And when done and patient is ready to go back home, he's asked, "How
much can you pay?" People almost always say nothing, and they pay
nothing and go home. The ones who do better say, "Really just $20". They
take your $20 and add to it what it takes to pay the doctors, surgeons,
labs, and the pharma for the treatment that was delivered to you.

And this is just the medical aspect of their deeds. They have a hand in
helping with energy bills during very cold and very hot months,
rehabilitation facilities for the addicts, free groceries weakly and
monthly (totally independent of food stamps, or anything government) for
people who're in danger of hitting the bottom, and some other social
services. Helping others in need is part of their ideals.

You really needed to hear my semi-alcoholic neighbor telling you all
this to believe it. She's the one who's gone through such help from
them, not me. From surgeries done on her, totally free of charge
(several diverticulitis surgeries alone among them that I know of) to
paying some of her bills sometimes.

I don't know these stuff well. The only time I had to get help was
decades back under some extraordinary one time situation. I'd found no
quick help from government no matter where I looked. But these charities
helped me with food for about one month. That particular help was being
carried out via a certain Church, but I'm not sure. It was not designed
to be permanent help like their other charities who ask you no
questions. This one examined you and asked quite a lot of questions but
didn't require documents. You just had to explain your situation very
well. Then they'd give you a phone number to call and say, "Mrs. ...
referred me."

And this Mrs. ..., I got to speak with when I just walked into a Church
to ask around whether they could help with food, she was the first
person I talked with in there. I hadn't even quite entered the place,
she was on her way out as I was going in and I asked her first (cause
she was also tall and well-dressed in business suit). So I'm not even
sure if there were any Church affiliation to that service. When I would
drive over to get my weekly food rations, nobody was in that room. My
ration was there already placed inside a shopping cart there. I'd take
the cart to my car and emptied it and bring the cart back, and that was
it. I'd see nobody there. Everything was done and arranged by phone. Do
Church charities do it like that? I don't know!

That's the only time their helping at food level touched me.

The Reunion Tower, by the way, couldn't get built earlier. Only in 1972,
when the desegregation got at last fully in place, they began building
it. Never before that! The success in reaching their goals came in 1972
when not only the last ailment in the society was properly treated at
last, but they'd also done all that in the American way! It was amazing.
It was like a Physfitfreak out of nowhere coming to you two-bit smart
alecks and use your own fucking language and tools to take you there
where humans should be, thus giving you a chance you didn't have.

It was like that! And that's why it was so amazing.

Cause, do you know what "Texans" were doing in Dallas other than farming
itself when La Reunion was formed? They were doing only one other thing
day in and day out. They were shooting American Natives. Farming and
shooting Natives.

And when I say "farming" you shouldn't imagine those super wonderful
humanoids that you are and were back then, busy in the fields doing the
works. No, they only sold and bought slaves to do the farming for them.
The rest of the time, all day long, they were shooting American Natives
dead.

When they realized La Reunion people do not kill Natives, and they do
their own farming without accepting slaves, they all reacted like one
group of creatures. They ganged up against La Reunion in every way they
could. The whole Texas did in fact. Inside and outside government. That
was "Dallas" and "Texas" back then, and La Reunion forged through THAT
and reached their goals in 1972!

You were _given_ the "chance." You didn't have it naturally in you.

And I'm _giving_ you this chance right now. Cause you don't have this
chance coming to you naturally.

So then and only then, with confidence, La Reunion people allowed
themselves to build the tower to announce that amazing feat of
achievement to the world :)

They built much more than just a tower there. And they kept building
more. Remember the "Reunion Arena"? It was built for sports and concert
events a couple of years after I came here. It was on the music radio
stations round the clock for decades, cause something exciting was
always planned inside it for people's weekends, available to every
Dallasite for tickets costing chicken shit. They have a whole district
close to downtown Dallas with all sorts of stuff in it. All named
"Reunion" this and "Reunion" that :-) And that's only the downtown
facilities. Similar centers, full of positive and interesting activities
are recently built in various areas around Dallas. Those people are very
much here :) If not theirs fully, Dallas is at least sharing with them
heavily, everything that she has.

One more time, some stuff from that same 1891 DMN article. It contains
many lies, directly in La Reunion people's faces who read it back then,
and some inaccuracies, but also some informative general stuff as long
as they're not sensitive, as well as what the outsiders now that things
had so much changed would like to keep it like. Kind of telling both La
Reunion and rest of Dallasites "This is how we're going to address this
stinky issue." Not like it was and had been so stinky and revealing, but
like "a page out of a romance book."

And La Reunion, being leagues ahead of them, didn't give a damn how the outsiders were or wanted or could or would look at it. Because the
former were the center of everything real to begin with FROM DAY ONE in
Dallas. They must've let these savages have their ways till they get old
and die out. The "stink" would go away, largely, by itself.

And dates given by writer of this article aren't correct either, showing
how sloppy his take of anything at all had been; yet inadvertently, it _precisely_ shows what the outsider Dallasites' fear-based thoughts
were, or more importantly, what they wanted to say, about La Reunion in
1891.

The note numbers inside [] brackets are mine and will be briefly
discussed in later posts.


"..."

"The first group to leave the Crescent city [1] was one of which
Ex-Alderman Louckx was a member. Mr. Louckx is living in Dallas now on
Floyd street. Mr. Louckx tells an interesting story about his group's
trip. They sailed from New Orleans for Galveston in February. After
reaching Galveston, they proceeded by the bayou to Houston and took ox
wagons from there to Dallas." [1.1]

"The passage of these foreigners through the country created a
sensation. Mr. Louckx says fame out-traveled the oxen and that at every settlement between here and Houston, crowds of the natives were
collected to view them [2]. The weather was fine and the prairie
bespangled with flowers. Mr. Louckx's group, as all other groups, was in
joyous spirits. They took everything unknown for magnificent. Six weeks
were consumed by Mr. Louckx's group in reaching Dallas. This was the
avant coureur of the colony, which reached Dallas on April 26, 1855 [3],
and gave the inhabitants something to talk about."

"As has been said, this group immediately proceeded to the site of the
new Utopia. They found their 12,000 acres across the river but, save the
trees and the flowers upon it, they found nothing else. But what cared
they? Had they not the formulas of Fourier? And would not those
formulas, religiously exploited, give plenty and happiness? So, the
group began to build houses and to put those formulas into operation."


"Group followed group in quick succession and soon a large number of
colonists had arrived, among them Cantagrel, the director, and soon
afterward, Considerant, the founder, and Joseph Bourgeois, the
bookkeeper for the company."

"The company had planned to send out groups representing as many
different purposes as possible. There was to be an agricultural group, a mechanical group, a garden group and so on. The groups came fast, and
soon everything was ready to test the formula of Fourier. Cattle were
bought, wheat sown, a tin shop established, a turning mill and various
other small industries put in operation. But, somehow the affairs of the
colony did not seem to prosper. There was nothing in the formula of
Fourier which said anything about the grasshoppers coming by millions
and destroying the wheat. There was nothing in those theories, which,
put in to practice, were to produce the ideal state, about prolonged
drouths that made the prairie as dry as tinder and parched up the wheat.
All these things the colonists experienced. The grasshoppers came and
the drouth, too. The colonists saw their crops destroyed, they took in
all with a good heart and joked each other, while the grasshoppers ate
the wheat, about the seven plagues of Egypt."

"But, though the formula of the socialist was not solving the problem of
human happiness and prosperity at lightning speed, still the colonists
had their social pleasures and they made the most of them. Though the
men had greatly outnumbered the women, yet the women came after a lapse
of a few months."

"The first woman to reach the colony was a Mrs. Despard. She was with
the first group, and for a long time, did the cooking for the colonists.
As soon as the first dwelling was built, however, Mrs. Barbier, who had
stopped in Dallas while her husband and sons went on, came to keep Mrs.
Despard company."

"The colonists had a vocal music class of which Mr. Capy, now living in
Dallas, was the director. They gathered in the ball room and forgot the formulas of Fourier, the grasshoppers and drouth while they sang the
chansons of the dear mother country. They had no waxed floors, but there
was the prairie with its green sward and many a fete champetre did these enthusiasts enjoy. They had a piano, too, the first every brought to
Dallas county. It was brought by Mr. Bureau, secretary of the colony.
Mr. Bureau's family came with him. They were all fine musicians and
added no little to the pleasure of the colonists."

"They had their weddings, too, and, strange to say, the first girl who
married, chose not a colonist, but a Mr. Jones, then or afterwards,
county clerk of Dallas. she was a Miss Dussau. The wife of Mr.
Considerant gave birth to the first child. The first Fourth of July that
came, the colonists celebrated. A large number of people from Dallas
went over to see the celebration. The Fourier society at Lyons sent the
colony a handsome silk flag which was used at all celebrations. The flag
was afterwards destroyed by fire."

"So long as the summer lasted, the colonists were reasonably happy, but
with the coming of winter and the northers, their happiness vanished.
The houses were of longs with great chinks in them, through which the
keen wind whistled, and the Fourier formula seemingly had not
contemplated cracks and wind. There was not room enough to accommodate
the members of the colony, and they huddled together too closely for
comfort. There was a house given up to the young men and they slept in
little bunks, one above the other."

"But the winter passed away and preparations for the new year were made.
The colonists prepared for their wheat and various other crops, but it
began to appear that, while the agricultural group should have formed
the larger number of the colonists, there were but few agriculturists.
It is said that there carpenters, florists, doctors, etc., in plenty,
but the men who knew how to till the soil were in a minority. It is said
that out of 500 colonists, there were not a dozen farmers. It is related
of Mr. Cantegrel, the director, that in speaking of this state of
affairs, he exclaimed: "Mon Dien! I am sent here to direct an
agricultural colony and have no agriculturists to direct." The
consequence was that the colonists soon found themselves with wheat on
their hands which had cost them $3 per bushel, when their neighbors were selling the same wheat for 75 cents a bushel [4]."

"Then, too, individualism was beginning to assert itself. The desire to
have some thing as an individual, something that could be used or killed
or sold without calling a town meeting to discuss the matter, was making headway against the formula of Fourier [5]. The Swiss contingent left
and set up for themselves, across the Trinity at a place called Moon's
Lake. The shrewder men among the colonists began to reason that, as they produced more than their fellows, there was not reason why they should
not enjoy all they produced. So there was a drifting away of some of the
best men. Nor were the colonists able to pay the 6 per cent interest.
The disintegration of the colony had begun [6]."

But instead, I saw this from one of those Americans who know what they
are doing (i.e. stabbing Americans themselves in the back):

https://streamable.com/0yy7f2

She said this a few days back. Really a bunch of lies that have been so
often repeated that have become the truth for the Americans. No Iranian actually cares what you say, so don't get that wrong. But what about
Iranians who are living in USA? Aren't you concerned a little bit about
it? We're millions now.

And... we spend a lot of money! :)

And... we can get a bit careful with that :)

Hahhahha :)

See, we're not sheep like your fucking "constituents." Take gas for one.
The way we can hit back with gas is that every time you get rude, we may
buy our gas from stations who sell Venezuelan gas :-)

The amount of money involved might not be that much for one person, but
over time it adds and becomes considerable. And we're not one person. We
are millions of people living in USA, sensitive to such pathological
lies delivered to us in the media.

The stations around here that are known to sell only Venezuelan gas are
"Citgo" stations. There are a few of them in the metroplex, and one of
them is not that far from me. So... :) I can hit back! Every one of us
can hit back.

Are you sure you can safely use a media outlet to reach so many of them
and say those words to them?

Trump made efforts to stop Venezuelans from benefiting from sales of gas
by Citgo. Hehe :) Never worked. Some months later your own news sources
were saying everything was and is the same as before the sanctions, but
done informally this time. The money still goes to Venezuela, to the
company that owns Citgo.

That's just gas alone. Citgo. You get rude, we go to Citgo.

Other commodities? Well, it might not be that often, but we spend a
whole lot of money on appliances. A lot of us Iranians own our places of living. Can't we decide to buy, say, GE, next time we shop? The part of
GE that makes appliances is now a Chinese company.

So it is not like, this Senator can get on media and say any trash she
wants about Iran or Iranians. It is more like she doing all that just to
tell Iranians, "I want to see what you can do about it now!", and we
Iranians showing her what we can do :)

What we can do is we may purchase our next clothes washers making sure
they are GE brand. We may buy all our groceries from Aldi's, a German
company. We may buy our next computers from what Lenovo ThinkStation
offers :) Again, a Chinese owned brand. We may change our cars' tires to
new ones making sure it is the Firestone brand, now owned by japan. We
may even switch our over the counter and prescription meds to Bayer
brand. German. And on and on.

So we can hit back.

Let me wrap this up. She may be fuckworthy, I don't know, I'd have to
remove all those red garments and grab that wobbling ass and check it
out for myself to know, but she can't fucking bullshit Iranians via
media without some consequences even if she's fuckworthy. Americans
never got away with anything negative and unfair they did to Iranians.
Don't you people know that?

Quoting from same article continues:


"..."

"The final scattering [6.1] came in 1858, about three years after the
colony was founded. No one seems to know just how the crash came [7].
There was no outbreak, no deliberating, the colony, consisting then of
500 persons, just melted away, some came across the river to Dallas,
some few remained at the colony, some went back to France, some to New
Orleans [8]. Fourier's formula was forsaken. The attempt to found a
Utopia in Texas had failed."

"Some few of the old colonists and their descendants are in Dallas now,
and from them, many interesting details have been gathered about the
colony. These are: Messrs. Louckx, Capy, Boulay, Reverschon, Royer,
Raymond, Michel, Boll, Loupot, Coiret, the Sontaire boys, the Barbiers
and the Goetsells. Mrs. Christian, of Oak Cliff, and Mrs. Nussbaumer,
were of the colonists." [8.1]

"Mr. Barbier is full of reminiscences of the old days. On one occasion,
when he and Mr. Louckx were in their bunks in the bachelor building,
lightning struck on that side of the building. The shock threw them out
of their bunks and a steel-tipped stick under Mr. Louckx's bunk was
shattered. Mr. Barbier's father had charge of the lime-kiln. At the time
of the Cedar Hill cyclone, the old gentleman was at the lime-kiln and
was seriously injured by the wreck of the kiln."

"Mr. Raymond [] still lives near the site of the colony. Mr. Raymond
married the eldest daughter of Mr. Sontaire, who is said to have been
one of the only three farmers in the colony. Mrs. Raymond was one of the
only three women in the colony who knew how to milk. The other two were
Mrs. Sontaire and Mrs. Gouffre. Mr. Gouffre died in Dallas. He owned
property just in rear of Sanger Bros."

"Mr. Michel and Mr. Barbier did all the mason work for the colony. They directed the co-operative store and the director's house. These
buildings were concrete and the first of the kind ever built in Dallas
county."

"Much interesting matter has also been obtained from Mrs. George Potter,
nee Guillot, who lives at 113 Live Oak street. Mrs. Potter is the
daughter of Mr. Guillot, who came to Dallas in 1848. Mr. Guillot was not
a member of the colony, but he acted as interpreter for them. There is
an interesting story connected with Mr. Guillot's coming to America.
Some time in the '40's, a colony of French communists started for Texas.
Their guide was a man named Gounant. Gounant was in the pay of the
French government and was instructed to lead the colony into the wilds
so that it might perish. He obeyed his instructions only too well, and
lost the colony somewhere about Denton. The colonists suffered great
hardships. Many of them died. Mr. Guillot had a brother-in-law in this
colony and came to Texas to search for him. This colony discovered the treachery of their guide, tried him and condemned him to death. But some
of them hesitated at this extreme step and, determined to mitigate the punishment. Gounant had a magnificent beard, and hair of which he was
very vain. The colonists, in lieu of the death penalty, shaved his head
and face and drove him into the woods. Gounant remained for some months
in the wood. One day, a United States army officer came upon him as he
was chopping wood. The officer was going to Fort Worth and was in some
doubt as to the route. He inquired of Gounant, but the latter not
speaking English very well, could give him no information. Gounant,
however, was very smart and managed to catch the officer's meaning. He
was an expert draughtsman [] and out of the rude materials, a hand soon
made a sketch which gave the officer the information wanted. The officer recognized the man's talent and took him to Fort Worth and gave him
employment. Gounant, in spite of his treachery, was received into the
Dallas colony and became book-keeper."

"A cousin of Mr. Guillot invested 600,000 francs in the colony. Mr. Van Grinderbeck, who was one of the original colonists, returned to his home
in Belgium when the dispersion took place. Mr. Van Grinderbeck was a
great friend of Mr. Louckx, they having been reared in the same town. To
Mr. Van Grinderbeck belongs the honor of having put in the first brewery
plant at Dallas. He established his brewery in a house on the corner of
Wood and Market. He made good bear, too, according to Mr. Louckx."

"Mr. Bourgeois, who was one of the book-keepers of the colony, died in
Dallas. He had a belief that the Trinity could be made navigable and
often discussed the project. Mr. Bureau, the musical gentleman, who
brought the piano over, died of yellow fever in Houston some years after
the colony dissolved."

Reverschon and Barbeaux were among the gardeners and florists. Mr.
Reverschon is here in Dallas. Mr. Barbeaux died in Galveston."

Mr. Broissy was one of the colonists. He has a daughter yet living near
the site of Reunion."

"A notable personage who visited the colony was Madame Clarisse
Vigereau. She was an author of note. One of her best known works is
"Paroles de Crolyant, or Words of a Believer." She was the mother-in-law
of Considerant and returned to France."

"After the colony scattered [], the company kept agents here for several
years to wind up its affairs. The last of these agents was Mr. Thevenet,
yet living in Dallas. He wound up the business along in the sixties."

"Considerant, the founder, went to San Antonio after he saw his plans
crumble, and remained there several years. His wife died there. From San Antonio, he returned to France, where his son now lives. Considerant was
an intimate friend of Ledru-Rollin, who opposed Louis Napoleon for the presidency of the French republic. Cantegral also returned to France."

"Cantegral and Victor streets still recall the memory of these men to
citizens of Dallas. And, it may be mentioned here that the people of
Dallas spell the director's name incorrectly. It is "Cantegrel," not "Cantegral."

"Though the colony as a colony failed and found no Utopia in its attempt
to carry out the theories of Fourier, still it is certain that the
individual members of it prospered. In spite of their wheat at $3 per
bushel, which the neighbors were selling at 75 cents, most of the
individual members got ahead. Some will see in this success of the
individual a reason for the failure of the community. However that may
be, nearly all of them managed to get ahead, and Dallas to-day, has no
more thrifty citizens [9] than the members of the old colony still
living and their descendants. It is curious, too, that none of these
members ever assign any reason for the failure of the colony [10]. There
seems to have been no dissensions. It was a fraternal community. It just
simply scattered because it could not withstand the impetus of
individualism [11]. All these old members of the colony speak lovingly
of Reunion. Their eyes glisten as they tell how the first house was
built, of the first birth, of the first marriage, of the spring where
they got water, of the thousand and one little things that made up the
every day life of the colony. And yet, there is no regret in their
tones. They seem to understand dimly that the problem of life, of
society, of happiness, of prosperity, cannot be solved by the formula of Fourier [12]. Still, Mr. Louckx yet likes to talk of Godin Lemaire, who
was a friend of the colony, and who made a success of the co-operative
plan in his great iron works at Guise, France."

paragraphs, which I've already posted earlier in the blog.

I'm sure you're not forgetting that's only using gas commodity. There

could begin switching to. Nice prices too! Often better than the
domestic ones for the money. Aldi's competes fiercely with even Walmart
in food price vs quality. Indian meds... hehehe ... I don't even want to

But the point is, even one person, one Iranian in USA, can make a
difference if your Senator pisses him off. He's not being represented by
that Senator, so he can make you bleed from then on.

More on La Reunion. Now I'll (very briefly) go over some of the notes
I'd like to make about this 1891 article.

[1] He means New Orleans.

[1.1] With much difficulty they bought 3 horses and several oxen and a
few wagons from some farmers in the outskirts of the city after their
stunning discovery that there was no "marketplace" in Houston. The only
place that resembled a marketplace in that city was where male and
female slaves were traded. Horses they bought were to be used for
scouting, and gathering the scattered oxen after they'd spread out in
the fields. Some of the oxen were pulling the wagons which only
contained supplies and equipments and little young fruit trees they had
brought over from Europe. The men (36 La Reunion men, and one guide and
a couple of workers to cook and do other helps) all were walking.

[2] That quote must've belonged to one of the next dispatches, not this
first one, which the writer had confused it with. The first dispatch
only saw American Natives on two occasions, from a distance, with no
danger of any hostility. The Natives on that never trodden path had
never seen Americans nor Europeans, so hadn't yet developed a sense of resistance or fear towards them.

[3] The date is either off by 2 years, or, if correct, is the story of a
later dispatch, not first. Writer keeps confusing them with each other. Cantagrel and some of his men were already at the site of La Reunion
before the first dispatch arrived; had bought the lands and and had
built a large building to house all the people of the first dispatch.
When the dispatch arrived, they were totally shocked to see that they
had to sleep and live in the same building together. Since their wives
and children were due to come on later dispatches, they brought the
issue to Cantagrel and complained that it was impossible to live in the
same building after their families arrived. Cantagrel then decided that
people in La Reunion can have separate dwellings, so they got busy
building them. This was the first deviation from the strict instructions
of Fourier, cause with each family living separately, no "Phalanx" would
be in place. The building Cantagrel had constructed, thus never served
as a Phalanstere like Fourier had described. To see what a Phalanstere
looked like we can see the remnants of the one that another group of
Fourier followers had built in New Jersey and still stands:

https://i.postimg.cc/k43hQQJc/Phalanst-re.jpg

[4] Price of a bushel of wheat that farmers around La Reunion were
offering, would've been not only much higher than 75 cents, but most
probably higher than the $3 which La Reunion was offering, had they not
been using slaves. Slaves did all their farming without getting wages.
The writer, this smart aleck, attributes the price difference to various factors like "grasshoppers," elements, "formulas," and anything his
fearful mind conjures, all in an effort to avoid acknowledging the role
that slaves played in their farming. With the way La Reunion had
arranged for working together, it would in all probability beat an
American type slave-free farming product in prices. La Reunion people do
not mention these timidities and outright cowardice among outsider
Dallasites which lingers even to this day, solely because they don't
need to! They believed in action, not this guy's worthless words;
positive action, and living together with these same samples of shit for
human, like brothers, and they were certain that they would succeed past
any coward among them, and they did. But I'm not a La Reunion guy,
sorry, so good for them and bad for you scoundrels. I kick these
cowards' asses the moment I see them in the open. Hence, what you're
reading right now. Even this much could not be mentioned anywhere other
than inside usenet. So go spit on yourselves.

Later.

Continuing with my notes on that article:



[5] By, "something that could be used or killed or sold without calling
a town meeting to discuss the matter" he is pointing to using slaves,
killing American Natives and selling slaves. The writer is trying to
attribute such savage "desire" and behavior to the virtues of
"individualism" as against Fourierism!

[6] "Moon's Lake" must've been in the area East of downtown where the
names of prominent Swiss families are still on the streets, like Boll
Street, Swiss Avenue, Nussbaumer Street and Adolph Street.

The work was being rotated between various people depending on their
choice and expertise. Children did some work too, each group of them
getting assigned the work of one adult. It was a system in which it was difficult for any person to claim he or she had worked more than the
others, so the writer's bringing this type of dissension among La
Reunion workers is just another excuse alongside others.

[6.1] La Reunion didn't get a chance to go beyond the initial phase. The know-how was still being gathered, experiments were still in full gear.
This funky writer is dishonestly perceiving and presenting these initial activities as the ultimate embodiment of Fourier's "formulas", which is
just nonsense. Everything was still in the future when La Reunion
dissolved itself. I think had they stayed put till end of slavery a few
years later, and had they not divided the lands and assets between
themselves so soon, the La Reunion would successfully continue to exist according to their plans until in much longer terms, as the American
society would get more and more liberated, they'd gradually join them.
That's the only "melting away" that would take place.

Instead, La Reunion changed course! They didn't melt away. They decided
to achieve the same goals via another path along Americans. And to this
day they have not melted away from that newer path.

[7] There were no crash. They decided against that route. As long as
American farmers around them enjoyed owning slaves, there was no point continuing a losing competition. So they defaulted on their own
individual skills and expertise to make it inside Dallas, where they
could sell such skills and create infrastructure.

[8] The author is hiding the numbers to make his assertions match what
he claims. Very few returned to France, and they were the one's that the government of Texas was pushing hard to join military services for the
imminent war. Almost all the La Reunion stayed and kept living after its disbanding, some on the camp and its surroundings and some in nearby
village of Dallas.

[8.1] The spelling of some of these names are incorrect. Author has transliterated them in any way he wants.

[8.2] If the tornado was in Cedar Hill and still could wreck something
like a lime-kiln and seriously injure someone inside, this shows how
extensive La Reunion's lands were in the direction of south, going
through Oak Cliff, Cockrell Hill, Duncanville, and then inside Cedar
Hill. It must've been one of the large tornados regardless.

There are much larger maps of their land possessions showing all that.

Ok, later.

Again more notes on that same article:


[8.3] He means Remond! And he writes the name Santerre as, "Sontaire"!
Pure transliteration. Who gave him such permissions, Devil knows. I
guess if you think you are entitled to shoot American Indians "without
calling a town meeting to discuss the matter" first, then you'd also
change people's names according to your own liking, no problem.

[8.4] There weren't enough lumber in and around La Reunion properties,
and farmers around them were laughing at them when they began using the
same "useless" soil on which they dwelled to create concrete buildings.
Of course they all shut up after seeing how successfully those sturdy
buildings were built.

[8.5] The story associated with Guillot exists but its details in this
article are suspect. A direct descendant of Guillot is now in Dallas and
in one of the fb forums he went over the best version of that story.
That was a few years back and I do not recall much from it, but it was
quite different from this one in this article.

[8.6] Bureau is the one whose descendants in France in 2020 disclosed
many items dating back to La Reunion days, including the detailed map of
the camp that I uploaded. He played violin and piano and composed
operas. He was no leader, but because he was a close friend of
Considerant, he was somehow seen as someone who could replace
Considerant in his absence. When Considerant lost hope and left, people
placed the management on this man's hands but he didn't match the
challenge and things got to a point that he was contemplating suicide.
One needs to read Wolski for the full account, but from that one line
quote that I made, Wolski was probably pointing at Considerant and
Bureau both as, ".. some pussies among the French"). Savardan, one of
the most confident La Reunion members, and one who has a book about the
affair, was a fierce opponent of Considerant and the latter's weaknesses
in managing the camp. His book is mostly about mistakes of Considerant
rather than history of La Reunion. He mentions that Bureau at some point
had told him he was better off lying in a grave than making any more
effort. This is Bureau at age 40 (from that same 2020 collection):

https://i.postimg.cc/X7WNjfhR/Bureau-at-age-40.jpg

Savardan had once written to him, "You are what we want, but in a more harmonious times." I.e. good only in good times. A lot of La Reunion
people point to Bureau (and Considerant) management skills as the prime
reasons for failure of La Reunion. Practically none of them thought it
was something about La Reunion itself that didn't work. Wolski and
Savardan were just two examples of the believers. This is Bureau and his
family (from same collection):

https://i.postimg.cc/tgfVC9sv/Bureau-with-family-at-La-Reunion-camp.jpg

photographed at La Reunion camp by son Gustave. From left to right:
father- in- law Guillaume Rey, Bureau, son little Allyre, daughter
Alice, wife Zoe, and son Paul. Bureau died one year after La Reunion
disbanded.

[8.7] Considerant left La Reunion but it is funny that he waited in San
Antonio to see how the coming possibility of abolition of slavery would
work for La Reunion. Well, La Reunion people in the absence of him and
lack of leadership from Bureau divided the lands before such a test
could be made. All it took for La Reunion to succeed was for him to be a
better leader and not chicken out so soon. But nothing was certain about
future then. The war, its outcome, nothing was certain, so these leaders
lost heart before La Reunion members ever did. We need to read Wolski
for full account.

[8.8] Both streets are still here in the general Swiss Ave area.

[9] The word "thrifty" is being used in its British sense, meaning
"thriving". The writer himself might have been one cro-magnon Brit who'd recently come to USA. His views of the southern Europeans and the way he
talks about them is typical of such British cowards. Southern Europeans
are much closer to Modern Human than Brits and other northern Europeans. Everything the latter has got is from same southern Europeans, and in
return they have nothing but disrespect for them. Typical British stink.

Ok, later then.

Last notes about the article:

[10] Another coward lie right into the faces of those La Reunion people
who read the article when it was published. What an incapable person.
All of them knew, of course, what caused the disbandment. Even
generations later, my wife knew what changed their plan! It got tough
cause they couldn't make enough money when competition used slaves, so
instead of paying back their debts to the financiers, they had to again
borrow from them for a while, but when it got tough, the leadership
began showing its weakness. And nobody outside La Reunion itself helped
them. Both government and people of Texas broke their promises to them.
The press was attacking them left and right. Still this wouldn't mean
defeat at all. But when your own leader from day one, without telling
anyone, one night takes his wife and leaves the camp to never come back,
and then the news arrives that he intends to buy land in San Antonio to
start over in that spot instead of continuing the La Reunion, this will rearrange things. Still, those faithful people put his friend Bureau in
charge because the only real problem then was the absence of a leader.
An administrator for such a complex endeavor. The rest, they could
endure. Financiers had lots of money to buy more time for them. But as I
said before, Bureau also showed weakness and lost heart. So the two
turned out to be "good times" guys when times tried them. The
individuals in La Reunion then sat down and made a decision about what
they were going to do! Everybody exactly knew why and how, and this
funky writer says the exact opposite in their city's newspaper.

[11] Bullshit. Either the writer is really stupid, or he is really
coward to say this; or, he is simply a good sample of a cro-magnon
human. Individualism had nothing to do with it. Their ideals had nothing
to do with it. The writer has taboos where he doesn't want to go near.
So he just imagines the problems to be a set of other issues. Typical
behavior among cro-magnon people for lack of STRP in them. Read my
remarks about consequences of lack of STRP among them in my other blog
and you'll see why this man cannot say anything other than he is saying
in this article.

[12] Pure unrelated bullshit. Purely a cro-magnon reaction to both
realities within himself, and problems outside that he cannot get even
near them, let alone explaining them in a newspaper article.

His next two paragraphs are the end of the article and I posted them
before. The proverbial "knew not how to plow" paragraph.

So this is it, an 1891 newspaper article about La Reunion in this
wonderful country of USA, saying just about everything you want to know
about Americans.

Not one bit has changed since 1891. I've said this here before. When I
talk to an American, if it is 1980 I find nothing but a "Relf" in him.
If it is 1990 I find nothing but a "Relf" in him. If it is 2000, 2010,
2023, or 1891, I find nothing but a "Relf" in him. A cro-magnon human.

And when a "Relf" gets lobotomized as well, then you have a "Jim
Pennino" on your hands.

Some final thoughts on La Reunion (very briefly) and this blog:

I have exposed the gist of the matter. What remains are the fine
details, the eyewitness accounts, and the best of them seems to be in
the diary of Wolski which does not exist in English language. So until
that day when it is available in English (don't cross your fingers!)
what there is to read or know is very general accounts in various books
which do not attempt to disclose sensitive realities and the bitter
matters that persist to still exist in present.

I have a feeling that Wolski's book will first get translated into
Persian, before any "English" version of it comes out. You don't have it
in you to touch stuff that point to your weaknesses. We Iranians do!

So let me go back to the original question of why La Reunion people's
graves are so scattered throughout Dallas, and not mainly in Fishtrap.
My wife believed it was because the memory of La Reunion project was
that of a failed attempt in their past and they had long since changed
routes and each one of them were doing great and didn't need to
associate themselves with that project. So she was mostly stressing the
more successful present affairs compared to a losing struggle. I think
the reason was somewhat different. I think they were in fact still
bitter that their leaders had let them down. I think none of them ever considered that effort a losing one, if it was not for the lack of
leadership. That's why they decided not to even be buried in La Reunion cemetery. The feeling must've been one of betrayal, not a failure. Just
like Wolski and Savardan. They never thought they failed in that
project. They both thought their leaders betrayed them. And neither of
them, also, are in Fishtrap right now.

Everybody in La Reunion was ready to continue against enormous
competition from slave owners. Always bear in mind that these
individuals weren't ordinary citizens. They were educated and highly
skilled professionals. They could _see_ the road to future. They could eventually put double, triple, ten times the number of slaves that
competition had, in the fields by bringing ten times more La Reunion
dispatches in the area. They could eventually compete with slave owners
because each one of them was a more capable man than a slave or its
owner. Their skills would begin to sell, their factories, businesses,
water treatment projects, dairy industries would eventually excel past
the competition and money would begin to get earned instead of borrowed
from the financiers. They must've seen that even if slavery continued
forever, they would win against it; otherwise, when Considerant ran
away, these capable men wouldn't choose another leader for themselves.
They all must've been convinced that _all_ they needed was leadership.

In fact, such a great challenge of running that complex project didn't
have a chance without strong leadership, even in the absence of slavery.

I don't know about other phalanxes that formed in USA in some other
spots; don't have time to look into them, but La Reunion, even if the
coming secession had turned successful with or without a Civil War,
could continue to quickly get profitable. There were endless supplies of skilled people they could keep bringing over to Texas from Europe.
Enough to outdo anything that existed around them, even without La
Reunion. La Reunion project only worked _more_ effectively than falling
back on individual skills and living like Americans. Surpassing Texan
farmers would come faster. Considerant _knew_ something before embarking
on such project.

After the change of course, slavery itself was abolished and such
competitions disappeared into thin air. Spoiled smart aleck Texans had
to work now. What remained of the problems were now, shooting the
Natives, desegregation, and lack of voting privileges among Blacks and
Natives and especially women. Fourier himself had placed prime
importance on liberation of women. But these were not simple problems
for Americans of those days (certainly even today). They were of no La
Reunion mettle. With resources that had no equal in the world, it took
these stupid people more than a hundred years, till 1972 in fact, before
all such problems were solved. Something that people of La Reunion
mettle could do in _one_ _year_ back in 1853.

That's all I want to say about La Reunion before the year 1972 when they
began building the Tower. But 1972 was not just 1972 in that sense. It
was also the inflection point for the whole USA. Soon, USA would begin
to nose dive.

In fact after 1972 comes a new history of USA. In Iran, even before
Carter's December 1977 visit, it was that year, 1972, that many of us
came to conclusions regarding the Americans as a whole. The problem that
USA posed to the world. We had figured you out, we had separated the
values in you from the filth that so tightly reigns alongside those
values. We even had copied those values for ourselves (the militia) and perfected it past anything you ever had or have. And we had dumped the
rest of you, mainly pure filth. All that, by 1972! It was mostly ideas
and plans, but proved soon to materialize, didn't it. I think I even
explained that in this forum years back.

So if you ask me, La Reunion descendants at some point in the future
will either abandon you to preserve their ideals elsewhere among better
people, among Modern Humans, among those Modern Humans who didn't get
fooled by you, those who never copied you. Or, heck, they may make yet
one more change of course and begin to come to you direct and deal with
you smart aleck troublemakers. They'll become like the world of Modern
Humans is day by day turning into. Either abandoning you, or coming to
you to correct your vile asses forever.

And since the menace that your very _existence_ poses to the world never
ceases to exist, you will get wiped out. How many times have I told you
this? Blacks know what to do with you. So do the American Natives. They
will be helped to such ends!

Today, Americans have effectively removed the influence of their
scientific community from their society. They've starved them all away.
Now it is a fucking "engineer"stan; and worse, they think this is how
things should be. Well, it's still relatively good times. Wait to see
the future.

I have said this since 1990s. I have no doubt that American Natives will
get their revenge, and Blacks will begin _consuming_ those smart alecks,
both for what they did to them and for what they are right now. There's
just no other outcome. It is like God wants it that way.

It'll be "Fuck'n Eat Combo" baby. Check that message out. I posted it
around 2000, or was it earlier. It'll be a species thing. They'll first
fuck you, then feast on you, then they'll give the remainder to their
dogs to feast on. Cause god wants that. Even today now and then it is happening. That's part of how humans get better with time. Earlier
species won't see the future.

With what you did and do, you have no place in this world. You will go
away. All you need to do to take a look on that is to imagine what a
Black woman would do to a "Jim Pennino", or what an American Native
would do to "Relf" the moment, the first moment, that they get their
chance.

La Reunion won't be there to help you or be an example for you. If
they'll be there at all, it will be to expedite the process. You people
need to get _processed_.

That was a short party. Well HODLers are not stupid.

Also I have bad news. My expectation, these ETFs will make
Bitcoin super boring. I do not expect that it goes through the roof.
Rather expect that volatility and trend will become much

less exciting than in the past.

I missed the boat when bitcoin was 16k... And then again missed it when
it was 25k, and then again when it was 35k, and now it is 45k!

What a world.
