The comparison of WWI hero Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg*, who for years as President of the Weimar Republic was ineffective in stopping Adolf H*tler's rise to power, to the 2020-2024 Democratic Party and their inability to stop Dummkopf Trumpf, has not been lost to historians.

From 21 Jan 2021 to 19 Jan 2025, USAG Merrick Garland sat on the explosive and damaging Jeffrey Epstein files.

His first mission on 21 January 2021 should have been ordering the DOJ to redact those files for use by SC Jack Smith and other agencies to expose Trumpf as a sexual predator.

Trumpf would have spent four years fighting off SC Jack Smith's multi-prong prosecution, in addition to Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and NYSAG Letitia James, as well as civil lawsuits from Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell victims.

The geriatric sexual predator lost his case against E. Jean Carroll, a woman he sexually attacked decades ago.

In the court of public opinion, at minimum Trumpf would have lost supporters disgusted by pedophilia and human sex trafficking. They may have stayed home on Tuesday 5 Nov 2024 because Republicans would not have voted for Kamala Harris. Similarly, many progressives stayed home that day because of the Gaza genocide. These antiwar people did not vote for Jill Stein who received a meager 628,000 votes.

*In recent years, numerous German local bodies have derecognized Hindenburg. In February 2020, Hindenburg's Berlin honorary citizenship had also been revoked. The decision was passed by Berlin's left-wing coalition of Social Democrats, The Left and Greens.[Source: Wikipedia]


And now we have an all-powerful DHS and an out-of-control ICE. Thanks for nothing guys!

#35 Hi Effeteposer: Thanks for the lead on Robert Johnson. I will check out the sheet music.

For the audiences attending Elizabethan plays, music wasn't as important as seeing "action" and hearing witty lines.

To help set the mood or a timeframe for a scene in classical theater, the Chorus would appear:

"Behold and witness the fortunes and misfortunes of two great families in Spain, each undone by their own hand in time of plague and war."

In today's film and theater this is done by music.

The Elizabethan actors of the Globe Theater and other playhouses were all accomplished acrobats and fencers, as well as melee weapon combatants. Stage battles had to look realistic to the audience. Any one of them was more dangerous than any common conscripted foot soldier of the English Army. In fact, playwright Ben Jonson relished going to war and participating in brawls or duels.

Theater special effects were superbly done and audiences would see limbs flying off and blood splattering everywhere.


This is the sanguinary world of theater that Shakespeare entered. What the brilliant wordsmith did in his 52 years was "educate" the London audience. The English people evolved from being entertained by bloody battles and gory amputations (Titus Andronicus, Coriolanus, Henry IV, Richard III, to the ultimate The Tempest, his last play where there are no deaths or violence. Shakespeare's swan song takes place all in one day, like classical Greek theater.

In between his early and latter plays, the Bard of Avon used slang, wit, ciphers, and veiled barbs at the monarchy or the Privy Council, to make his audiences laugh.

In Hamlet Act III, Scene II during a royal feast, lovelorn Ophelia turns to the Prince of Denmark to casually say "You are merry, my lord." The London audience roared in laughter because what she really said in slang was "I see your enormous --------."

Thanks again, EP.
