#369 - VALIE EXPORT (For Your Health)

Ce qui passe par la Terre, 2024, Aurélien Caillaux et Benoit Bories, coproduction Reconnexions Département de l’Aude / RTBF La Première / Les Voix de Traverse / Faïdos Sonore, versions 14.2 pour la performance live et stéréo pour la diffusion radiophonique et podcast.

Ce qui passe par la Terre sera présentée la première fois le 21 septembre au coucher du soleil dans le village de Villerouge-Termenes, un des lieux central de la narration. La création sera jouée comme un concert, le public installé dans un champ face au massif de montagnes jouxtant Villerouge-Termenes. La création sonore sera diffusée sur un dispositif spatialisé de quatorze haut-parleurs entourant le public.



Avoir un rendez-vous quotidien avec un étourneau grand imitateur de sons d’activités du village, attendre impatiemment l’arrivée des chants des rossignols, s’étonner encore et encore des variations des chants du merle, observer une plante au-delà de la catégorie mal nommée « mauvaises herbes », entretenir le mythe de coins à champignons qui sont à peu près dans cette direction, vivre l’excitation de l’apparition d’une mouche nécrophage disparue des radars depuis longtemps, lire le paysage pour comprendre l’histoire des pratiques paysannes, travailler la terre mais pas que car il faut savoir prendre le temps et faire collectif, prendre le temps d’écouter les anciens pour faire ensemble, saisir ces occasions pour faire la fête, expérimenter de nouvelles pratiques paysannes basées aussi sur un savoir-faire ancien, écouter les traits de caractère de ses compagnons d’élevage, veiller à être délicat avec des endroits fragiles, passer le mot à celles et ceux à qui l’on fait découvrir la magie de ces fameux lieux, s’amuser comme un gosse à se laisser entraîner par les rythmes des machines à embouteiller, patouiller la terre pour colorer sa maison d’enduits, débusquer la genette en guettant patiemment les rythmes de la faune autour d’un point d’eau.

La liste est loin d’être exhaustive de tous les gestes, savoir-faire que nous avons enregistrés en suivant sur quatre saisons des habitant.es, paysann.es des Hautes-Corbières. Ce qui passe par la Terre est le récit sonore documentaire et musical fait des sonorités au quotidien de ce lien au pays transmis entre différentes personnes.

De-dollarization & CBDCs: How digital currencies help countries drop US dollar

Every single day these last four and a half months I've been inundated with comments from Israel supporters excusing the most monstrous acts imaginable in the most monstrous ways imaginable. People calling for the total destruction of Gaza. People saying the Gazans deserve what is happening to them. Saying the sickest shit you can possibly think of in response to news of terrible things happening to innocent children.

Reading by Tim Foley.

Israel Supporters Are Some Of The Worst People In The World

When the slaughter stops in Gaza
I will get to those cobwebs, promise,
and water that monstera,
and clean out that goo in the fridge.
When the slaughter stops in Gaza
I will youtube how to grow strawberries,
and whether dinosaurs ever had feathers,
and what's the deal with hibachis - 
is it something to do with fondue?
When the slaughter stops in Gaza
I will brush my hair out finally,
and call my Mum god bless her
and make her a perfect lasagna - 
no, two; I'll make one for freezing,
and I'll give Dad back his drill.
When the slaughter stops in Gaza
I will teach myself to play 'Nightswimming',
and do a drawing of that face
that I took a pic of with my camera
in that packed tram in peak-hour
Back Before All This Happened,
and I'll make some kind of cake.
When the slaughter stops in Gaza
I will sit with my love in our camp chairs,
our fingers entwined with our heart strings,
kicking coals awake til magpies
chortle "oh boy are you guys still up?"
and then I'll let him give me an orgasm - 
the kind that rips through veils.
When the slaughter stops in Gaza
I'll have my friend for dinner,
and we can watch her vampire show
and talk about her Dad
who died seven millennia and three lives ago
in September of 2023.
And we will lay upon the couch
our teeth stained black with wine,
and we will giggle about dumb things,
and one of us will fart
and the other will fall off the couch,
and it will be good and kind and sweet,
and not once will we see dead babies
or kids ripped from their mums,
or servicemen lit on fire
screaming "Free Palestine, FREE PALESTINE!"
and have our hearts thump in our mouths,
teeth clacking like a piano,
nails digging into flesh,
because everything is awful
and nothing makes sense,
and those men are so horrible,
and why won't they stop them
and why won't they stop them
and why won't they stop
why won't they stop.
But until then, I will roll out of bed,
do a chore and eat a thing,
brush my teeth and drink some water
thump my chest and howl in sorrow
hug my babies, sniff their hair,
and get back in the fight.

When The Slaughter Stops In Gaza

The problem is not that the wrong people keep getting elected, it's that the elections don't matter and voters don't have a say.

Dr. Gerald Horne is an author and historian who currently holds the John J. and Rebecca Moores Chair of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston. His most recent book is "I Dare Say: a Gerald Horne Reader."
He joins us to discuss US/Israeli policy, which has culminated in war crimes and a genocide in Gaza. We also discuss the U.S. proxy war in Ukraine and other international issues.

Dr. Gerald Horne Discusses the Crises of Imperialism

This week we discuss a lawsuit which seeks to force New York City to end patterns of segregation in its public school system. Also, we discuss the history of the ongoing humanitarian and political crisis in Sudan. But first we talk to an MIT student who was suspended in the crackdown on Palestine solidarity protests.

Episode 407: MotoGP’s swinging doors for 2025 and your post-Catalunya GP Qs!

Joe Allen discusses his book Dark Aeon and how he thinks that this idea of gnosticism as the all-encompassing boogeyman and blanket-term for everything one dislikes is misconstrued. Throughout history gnostic groups have differed with each other. This obsession with gnosis particularly becomes problematic and unhealthy when transferred into conspiracy culture. The idea that some today promote of Marxism or wokism or transhumanism as just being gnosticism re-branded might be too simplistic, this conflation is cheap and wrongheaded. In some ways the goals of technocratic transhumanism clash with gnosticism. There should be distinctions between big tech, technocracy, transhumanism and gnosticism.
