Chère amie, cher ami,

Il y a exactement 20 ans, le peuple français, suivi en cela par les Néerlandais, disait non au Traité Constitutionnel Européen lors d’un référendum. Les dirigeants français ont bafoué ce vote par la signature du Traité de Lisbonne. Bien pire, ils ont cherché à faire disparaitre ce vote des mémoires. Alors que la question de la démocratie devient de plus en plus primordiale, il nous appartient de saluer cet évènement. Organisons donc, partout où nous le pouvons, des rassemblements pour le célébrer. A Paris, ce sera à 18h30 le jeudi 29 mai dans la jardin des Tuileries, allée des Feuillants, en face du 228 rue de Rivoli.

Faisons et diffusons des vidéos de ces rencontres. Diffusons des textes sur ce moment. Le Monde diplomatique, pour sa part, publie en page 3 de son numéro de mai, actuellement en vente, un article de André Bellon sous le titre « 29 mai 2005, un peuple disait Non ». Vous pouvez vous le procurer dans les kiosques. En voici ci-dessous les premières lignes :

29 mai 2005, un peuple disait Non

Commémorer – quel qu’en soit la manière – est censé contribuer à la cohésion nationale. Occulter ne saurait donc être sans importance. « Ce qui m’épouvante, (…) ce n’est pas que le monde moderne détruise tout, c’est qu’il ne s’enrichisse nullement de ce qu’il détruit », écrivait Georges Bernanos. Vingt ans après, que reste-t-il du référendum du 29 mai 2005 par lequel une nette majorité de Français a rejeté le traité constitutionnel européen (TCE) ? Pour beaucoup, le vague souvenir d’un vote populaire bien vite remis en cause. Dans l’ambiance délétère et incertaine de 2025, l’intérêt général ne commande-t-il pas de remettre en lumière cet événement, son sens et sa portée ?

Dès la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, l’idéal européen s’impose autant comme réponse aux contraintes géopolitiques que comme fantasme de paix et de dialogue entre les peuples. Dans le même temps, la Libération apporte, en France, le programme du Conseil national de la Résistance (CNR). D’un côté donc, le marché commun ; de l’autre la primauté donnée à la question sociale : cette contradiction affleure sous la IVe République comme sous le gaullisme sans que ni l’une ni l’autre ne l’arbitre vraiment. Bien qu’on ne s’en aperçut pas alors, l’élection présidentielle de 1981 tranche le nœud gordien en faveur d’une Europe néolibérale. « La France est notre patrie, l’Europe est notre avenir », anticipe François Mitterrand le 20 mars 1987, dans une allocution. L’analyse de ses deux septennats doit se poursuivre, depuis le choix qu’il fait, dès 1981, de Jacques Delors, européiste sans grandes nuances, au ministère clef de l’économie, à la signature du traité de Maastricht en 1992.

One needs Real ID to enter US federal buildings. For example for disability hearings.

For getting the real ID one needs a US birth certificate. One of my US friends was born in Germany on or near a US military base. I got her her birth certificate from the German office. It’s not considered a US birth certificate for Real ID purposes ?!?!?!

She will probably get her Real ID eventually with some extra forms but it takes forever.

I prefer the UI of Shotcut, but kdenlive is admittedly more powerful. You can try both to see which one you prefer. I suggest you download the .appimage files of both of them from the website (this way you'll get the latest versions). I'd suggest against the flatpak versions as sometimes they come with limitations of various kinds. Just download their respective .appimage files, make them executable (right click on the downloaded files with your file manager and then go to their Properties to set them as executable), and then double click them to load. If you go that route, make sure you manually update them every 3 months or so, as that's when they usually release updates.

The #Mandeans claim to be the original followers of #John the #Baptist, who fled the land #Holy Land in the first century and claim to have preserved traditions independent of the emerging Christian Church in the subsequent centuries. In June 1999, I was privileged to be a part of a unique conference at Harvard University, sponsored by ARAM, at which, a group of these #ancient #Mandean #priests and laypersons demonstrated their practice of "baptism" (Masbuta) in the Charles River in Boston. This was the first time a full Mandean baptism was performed outdoors with two officiating priests in the United States. It marked a truly historic event.

This exclusive #footage, created by Jesse Buckley, son of noted Mandean scholar, Jorunn Jacobsen Buckley, Emeritus Professor at Bowdoin College, is used with permission of the Buckleys.
Most important, I am publishing a full commentary on the video as a guide to understanding the complexities of these ancient practices provided by Prof. Buckley. You may access it at the link below, along with further important resources for understanding Mandeanism and its ancient connections to John the Baptist.
Mandaeans revere John the Baptist and practice frequent baptism (masbuta) as a ritual of purification, not of initiation. They are possibly one of the earliest peoples to practice ritual baptism.

[3]Mandaeans undergo baptism on Sundays (Habshaba), wearing a white sacral robe ( #rasta). Baptism for Mandaeans consists of a triple full immersion in water, a triple signing of the forehead with water and a triple drinking of water.

The priest (rabbi) then removes a ring made of myrtle (klila) worn by the baptized and places it on their forehead. This is then followed by a handshake (kušṭa - hand of truth) with the priest. The final blessing involves the priest laying his right hand on the baptized person's head.[4]: 102 

Living water (fresh, natural, #flowing #water, called mia hayyi)[4] is a requirement for baptism, therefore can only take place in rivers. All #rivers are named Jordan (yardena) and are believed to be nourished by the World of Light. By the river bank, a Mandaean's forehead is anointed with sesame oil (misha) and partakes in a communion of sacramental bread (pihta) and water. Baptism for Mandaeans allows for salvation by connecting with the World of Light and for forgiveness of sins.[5][6]

[7]Although masbuta rituals are typically held only in the presence of Mandaeans, a historic commemorative masbuta ceremony was held at the 13th conference of the ARAM Society (titled "The Mandaeans"), which took place during 13-15 June 1999 on the banks of the Charles River at Harvard University.[8]

High priests of Mandeans are called “Nazarene” which means righteous Mandean who keep the law and secret knowledge. the title of Jesus therefore was not “Jesus of Nazareth” but “Jesus the Nazarene”. They revere John the Baptist but consider Jesus a fallen student of him. Jesus misused the secret teachings who were given to him by John the Baptist. Since it’s also in Bible that John the Baptist and Jesus were related ( probably cousins), they were in the sect of Nazarenes , John the Baptist as High Priest or higher rank than Jesus.

Interestingly Mandeans work a lot with astronomy, astrology and constellations. Bible nativity story of Star of Bethlehem and three wise man from east actually allegory of star constellation which can be observed on 25th of December. Also some other symbolism like fish, fisher man ( sign of Pisces), Virgin Mary ( sign of Virgo- the virgin) even the city of Bethlehem ( Beth: house, Lehem: bread ; house of bread which also symbolizes the sign of Virgo). It seems to me that Jesus was a follower of the Mandean High priest John the Baptist, and gain some early followers from this group but rest of the Mandeans condemned him and only accepted John as a holly personality.

»Eine neue "historische" Publikation aus #Russland stellt die Legitimität der Staatlichkeit Litauens in Frage. Das Vorwort stammt von Lawrow persönlich. Erschreckende Parallele zur Vollinvasion der Ukraine, die propagandistisch im Sommer 2021 mit einem "Essay" vorbereitet wurde, der unter dem Namen Putins erschien und ebenfalls die historische u. kulturelle Souveränität der Ukraine leugnete. Dieses Mal müssen wir genau hinhören.«
