The Short-Dicked Porn Star

 

Porn-star Ron Jeremy - "The Hedgehog"

Is Ronald Jeremy Hyatt (1953) a criminal for repeating in his private life what was his career for many years? What he was paid for - and gained fame for doing - was pornography. His nickname was "The Hedgehog" which goes well with his short build. He is no Adonis, but as he was ranked by AVN at No. 1 in their "50 Top Porn Stars of All Time" list he surely performed satisfactorily within his chosen field. It's note worthy that he is reputed to have made more than 1700 porn flicks, which I suppose only was possible because he didn't have the same erectile problems as his super famous and highly admired, but not as prolific, colleague, John Holmes.


John Curtis Holmes (1944-1988)

This porn actor had a big male fan base because of his exceptionally large penis - or rather the rumours of this male member as its measures were not verified except for what was obvious from his movies. He was also known as John C. Holmes or Johnny Wadd after his lead character in a series of related films). His movie count was 573 films and maybe some more, but he had problems that didn't occur in the career of Ron Jeremy: His very big and long penis had a bad habit of "folding" without the stamina that is necessary in a male porn star. In 1988 he became a suspect in the so-called "Wonderland murders", but he was never arrested. As many others in the porn industry he contracted AIDS which killed him in March 1988. It's interesting that he became the subject of several books and also the inspiration for two movies: "Boogie Nights" and "Wonderland". 

Ron Jeremy wasn't met with murder charges like John Holmes, but he didn't escape the law scott free as he has been charged with an ability that used to pay his rent, so to speak: Sex in the form of MeToo offences. According to rumours - and his attorney - he has become demented. That may - or may not - be true, but it's obvious that what used to be his job has turned into a grave problem in his private life.


As far as I know he never had the masses of male fans as John Holmes and his long penis. Actually, his male member was known for being a short, but thick and efficient tool. That means that he didn't come out as impressive as John Holmes. On the other hand, his achievements were indisputable. The short-dicked porn star could perform and do what he was paid to do. If he really is demented it must be confusing for him that he is being accused of more and more MeToo-crimes. Does this happen because he - like many ordinary men - has no inner sense of the meaning of women's "no" and "yes"??? Is he stupid or does he think more of himself as the "star" of 1700 porn flicks than that achievement/job justifies? One thing is for sure, he really looks like a sick, and more or less deranged man as he is being wheeled into the court room ....


I think that pornography gives a false image of sex and the relations between men and woman. Also I remember what some serial killers like e.g. Ted Bundy said about how they were formed by porn. That makes me suspicious of pornography as such. We simply don't seem to have the knowledge that makes us know the limits of this special "dream world" ....

Did Hitler Marry A Jew???

 

Eva Braun (1912-1945) - aka Mrs. Adolf Hitler - met the 23 years older Hitler as a young girl of 17 and became his mistress a few years later. She had been working as a saleswoman in the shop of Heinrich Hoffman, who was Hitler’s photographer and one of the people who taught him the art of body language.

As Eva for unknown reasons fell madly in love with Der Führer she moved in with him in 1936. Even though she lived with him she wasn't to reveal their close relationship. Life in the Hitler-chalet Berghof in Berchtesgaden wasn't always easy as she aften felt lonely, actually, just as his former (and mysterious) lover, his half-niece, Geli, who ended up killing herself - or being murdered (???) - with his gun. 
 


Hitler and Geli who is considered to have been both his niece and his lover

Before moving in with Hitler Eva's family was investigated to make sure that there were no Jews in her lineage. However, many years after being aquitted af this "Nazi crime" BBC found some evidence that she might indeed have been of Jewish descent. That would have been a shock to the crazed Führer, but neither he nor Eva found this out so they got on with their lives until the fateful day of April 30, 1945, where they committed suicide together after getting married.


What BBC did was to test some of Eva's hair from a hairbrush. When she died DNA wasn't an issue, but now it's more or less a common part of investigating the identity or lineage of people, living or deceased. Forensic scientists analysed the mitochondrial DNA from Eva's monogrammed hairbrush and they found interesting stuff about its owner, the lover and future bride of the man who murdered 6,000,000 Jews whom he saw as unworthy of living. 


These scientists found a specific sequence within the mitochondrial DNA which is passed down the maternal line from mother to daughter unchanged over the generations. It belongs to the so-called haplogroup N1b1 of the Ashkenazi Jews. According to their findings Hitler's loving and faithful lover and wife was of Jewish descent which might have sent her to a KZ-camp had he found out. There is a deep, deep irony in this, but in my opinion it's not enough to turn his racial madness into a comedy. When I learnt about it I felt like laughing, but then I saw the lines of ordinary and innocent people being shoved into the camps of death for my inner eye: The meaningless torture and horrible death of these unfortunates stand apart when it comes to human cruelty.

Dagens mand

Der er efterhånden en del kvinder, der så småt er begyndt at få ondt af mænd, fordi de føler, at de er fanget i en form for "mellemperiode". Det er kvinder også, men på en anden måde, da vi gør landvindinger på de områder, hvor mænd føler, at de mister terræn. Til det er der ikke andet at sige, at hvis mændene taber rettigheder, de har tildelt sig selv op igennem århundrederne, så skyldes dette, at de nu må lette bagen fra sæder, der aldrig har været tiltænkt dem som eneejere. At de føler sig berettigede til at indtage disse sæder, som de mener at have arvet på på lovlig vis fra deres fædre, bedstefædre, osv., viser mangel på dømmekraft.

Er det sådan, de tænker? Noget kunne tyde på det, men jeg tror nu ikke, det står helt så slemt til - heldigvis ....

Nok er jeg dyreven, meeeeen ..... Det næste bliver vel, at hun skal løbe ved siden af bilen med manden og hans forkælede hunde, og ærlig talt, den går bare ikke ....

Breeding Without A Male

 

The most famous "Virgin Birth" ever has had a tremendous impact on history and the religious beliefs for centuries. Of course, that was the birth of Jesus by the so-called "Virgin" Mary. If that really happened it truly was a miracle. Some unbelievers will say that Mary pulled off a scam, blaming "The Holy Spirit" for getting her pregnant. Others focus on the implications of Yahwe as a sexual god, impregnating a human and that's a subject that might lead to many more questions that will have wild guesses for "answers". As to Mary being a virgin that may only mean that she was unmarried as the meaning of this special term changed over time.


What I find the most interesting part of a so-called "Virgin Birth" is that what up till now seemed an impossible achievement has proved not to be unachievable. It has been known often to happen in small, spineless animals like e.g. sea stars and stick insects, although not as common in vertebrates. However, a process called "parthenogenesis" which leads to "virgin births", i.e. birth without a male, now has been observed in rays, sharks and skates. They may fertilize their own eggs without any male semen, thus using their own genetic material. More "virginal" that that it can never be!

Skate

Parthenogenesis is most often used by, e.g., sharks when there are no males to mate with, but recent studies at Shedd Aquarium in Chicago has made it clear that females may chose not to breed with males even though these are healthy and in any ways appropriate partners. These females were simply not receptive to males at any time. Some snakes and lizards are the same, but I was surprised to learn that also Chickens and turkeys can use parthenogenesis to fertilize their eggs. Actually, many more animal breeds than has been known up to now have this ability which leads to the big question: WHAT ABOUT HUMANS, CAN WE TOO BREED WITHOUT MEN??????


There is a process that must be fulfilled, and that's almost impossible or dangerous to the mother:
Is it possible for a virgin to give birth?: "Once fertilization—or faux fertilization—occurs, an egg can complete the final stage of a cell division known as meiosis II, during which it loses half of its genetic material to make room for the sperm’s DNA. But if there’s no sperm, each half of the divided egg cell will end up short, and both will die. In order for our virgin birth to proceed, the faux-fertilized egg must, therefore, not complete meiosis. Both of these events—the calcium spike and the division mistake—could occur as the result of random dysfunctions or genetic defects. Assuming they do, the egg cell may then begin the process of “parthenogenesis,” or virginal development. When this happens to an egg-precursor cell, it can give rise to a tumor made up of many different types of tissue—liver, teeth, eye, and hair, for example."

The mother who has endured pregnancy and a birth may want ONE baby at the time, but society which has a need of building and rebuilding the work force that "keeps the wheels going" may want more babies. Maybe they change or blot out some of the rights women have fought for - and obtained - in hope of getting more citizens that will secure "the system". However, for those women who take care of themselves, the biological slavery of former times has ended, and some may even dream of having fatherless babies, thus endangering the family structure that is at the base of patriarchy ....

Mileva Maric - Einstein's first wife, muse and maybe more ....

Young, pretty and brilliant: Mileva Maric (1875-1948)

Mileva was a Serbian physicist, matemathician and the first wife as well as the collaborator of Albert Einstein (1879-1955). Some think that she was more than his collaborator, and that he drew on her ideas and knowledge. No matter what, most probably that part of their relationship will rest with all the other secrets of this couple that (as yet) haven't been disclosed to the world ....

They met when they both studied at The Zürich Polytechnic Hochschule. She was the only woman in a group of six students, and as such a rarity: The fifth woman to be allowed into that section. Women students at this level of studies were extremely talented as well as rare because of the regulations of the universities. However, Mileva and Albert Einstein became close friends and then something more. Unfortunately for her, what disrupted her studies was an unwanted pregnancy with a daughter who was born in 1902. Before she was born the couple referred to this secret child as "Hansel". After her birth they used the name "Lieserl", but she was still kept a secret, and nobody seems to know what became of her. Not that there hasn't been theories because actualy there has been many ....


Did she die from scarlet fever as has been suggested by some or was she put up for adoption in the homeland of Mileva? Nobody seems to know for sure, but it's obvious that the birth of this illegitimate and thus secret child was a hindrance to the studies and career of Mileva, but not to her father, Albert Einstein.

According to the legend one of the problems was the fierce rejection of Mileva by his family. They did not want him to marry her and thus saving her from the stigma of being an "unmarried mother". However, in 1903 they did marry, and in 1904 their son, Hans Albert, was born.
 

 

Mileva and Albert with their son, Hans Albert

In 1911 their second son, Eduard ("Tete") was born, but as he grew up he had some health problems, and in 1930 he was dignosed with schizophrenia. One year after the birth of "Tete" his father, Albert Einstein, got reacquainted with his cousin, Elsa, which led to many problems in his and Mileva's marriage. She wasn't treated in a proper manner, and the marriage became more and more restrained. Their son, Hans Albert, grew up and was recognized as an expert researcher in "sediment transport". The American Society of Civil Engineers honored him and his work by establishing "The Hans Albert Einstein Award" in 1988. By then both of his parents had died, also they had divorced, and Albert had remarried after multiple affairs.

Young or old, Albert had an eye for the girls ....

Mileva and Albert had married in 1903, but in 1919 they were divorced after he had made a laughing stock out of her in her family by having affairs with her cousins. That must have hurt very much, and even though she may have been bitter they still kept contact. After all they had two boys so it figures that he, when he was awarded The Nobel Prize in 1921, gave her the money in a so-called "settlement". She invested them in three houses, one to live in and two to let out which gave her an income to live on. 

Albert Einstein with this son and grandson

Both before and after the deaths of Mileva and Albert there has been many speculations as to the work routine of the couple: Did Mileva do more than just inspire him, and what did he indicate with his use of the word "collaborate" about her? According to their son, Hans Albert, they did work together, but that doesn't answer the questions "How and how much did she influence him? Was some of his ideas actually her brain children?" Probably without even understanding the word "misogynist", that's what he was, not only sexually, but also in other ways. For instance he "forgot" to mention her name in publications of their joint work. Also she worked with him in developing his "Relativity Theory", but as yet we don't know how much ....

The De Facto Empress of China, Wu Zetian

 

Was the Chinese empress Wu Zetian (624-705) - who was born Wu Zhao - pretty. That's difficult to see from the old paintings of her, and for once it doesn't really matter: Her gift was a brilliant mind that made it possible for her to become the de facto ruler of China from 690. Before that she had been a strong influence "behind the throne" of her husband, Emperor Gaozong, and their sons, Emperors Zhongzong and Ruizong. 

She started her amazing career as one of the concubines of Emperor Taizong. When he died she married his ninth son, Gaozong, who became the next emperor even though he wasn't in good health. By marrying this 21 years old "stepson" of hers she gained the highest status possible as his empress consort in 655. Something that hadn't come through without victims. For instance she clashed with two other ambitious and powerful women at the empirical court that she got expelled and subsequently killed. Life at these courts were not for wuzzies, but Wu Zetian gained ultimate power in 660 when her husband, the Emperor Gaozong, suffered a debilitating stroke. She was recognized as the de facto ruler and did a good job of it. One of her means of keeping power was a strong "web" of spies at the court, but no matter what she was admired as an intelligent and knowledgeable woman. China prospered under her reign, but later on her reputation was blackened by the false assumption that she had killed some of her children to be able to blame her rivals at the court for their death.


However, as so often in Western countries many felt it wrong to be ruled by a woman. As far as I can see that was the only reason why Wu Zetian lost her power. In all she reigned, both through others and by herself, in 40 years, but in 705 she became the victim of a coup, and a few months later she died.

Re-Creating Art the Modern Way

Asger Jorn: Stalingrad

This large painting is considered the principal work of the Danish artist Asger Jorn (1914-1973), and he worked on it for 15 years. It's impressive, but not one of my favorite paintings. Actually, I have to admit that I'm not an admirer of this rather famous Danish artist. Some - and not only Danes still - see him as a "genius", but if that's the case then I fail to see it.

However, I'm not blind to the fact that he may be a much better artist than I think he was. After all he did make an impact on art critics and fellow artists. He even had his own museum in the Danish city of Silkeborg where he and his five siblings were raised by their mother after the death of their father. 

 

Asger Jorn with Pablo Picasso 

However, right now there is a lot of discussions about one of his works, namely, "Den foruroligende ælling" ("The Worrying Duckling" from 1959) which is a true "Re-Creation of Art" as he made it by painting an extremely ugly duckling on another artist's painting which he had bought in a second-hand shop. Who that artist was nobody seems to know - or care about - and that means that nobody knows how that man or woman would have felt about his or her work being "re-created". Was he/she proud of the painting and loved it as it was before Jorn laid his hand on it? If so what felt he/she at seeing the ugly Jorn duckling covering his/her artwork???? Would he or she have felt like taking him to court over his act of sacrilege or didn't he/she care?????

"The Worrying Duckling" by Asger Jorn (and someone else ...) 

From what I know of these second hand artworks they are not considered art by art critics, but somehow this special, not highly estimated, painting by an seemingly unknown artist attained status by the ugly duckling that was painted on it. The art critics didn't see it as Jorn's attempt to ruin an artwork, but to "better it" and turning it into art. However, recently another - and modern, Danish artist, Ibi-Pippi Orup Hedegaard, did to Jorn's work what he had done to the unknown artist's painting, namely re-created it once more. This time Hell broke lose over something that now was seen as sacrilege, vandalism or a crime to ruin a famous piece of art.


Ibi-Pippi Orup Hedegaard

Now the question is, whether it's fair or not to sentence Ibi-Pippi to pay a fine of almost 2 million in Danish kroner (i.e. circa $292.256,64) for doing what Asger Jorn did? The Jorn painting of the duckling may be ruined for good, but so was the painting he used as a canvas ....
