Paris Olympics - Worst Opening Ceremony Ever | Frontpage Mag
Rubbish is a good place to begin. The injection, in the article below, of the suspicion that Muslims burned Notre Dame is grotesque and not distinguishing Muslims from radicals, Muslim and a variety of other revolutionaries, is perverse., The explanation of God’s wrath in the form of torrential rain is a juvenile’s parody of religion in league with Noah’s Ark. All that is missing is a drag queen turning into a pillar of salt. The use of hocus pocus to explain, seriously or in jest, the gravity of this travesty trivializes organized religion.
The opening ceremonies of the Olympics was not an isolated event but a defining cultural extravaganza and a harbinger of a psychological turning point as embodied in the premiere of Stravinsky’s ballet “the Rites of Spring in 1913. Produced by Diaghilev, choreographed and danced by Nijinsky, the ballet enacted the folk legend of a maiden who literally dances herself to death in a pagan ritual to honor the gods of spring and fertility. It had the power to shock at the time and its inversion of life and death became the central metaphor for what was to become of Europe. In it I apprehend the gruesome adumbration of a world-conflict that raged for decades until the demise of Hitler in 1945. It was the offensive imprimatur “kinky, grotesque, multi-cultural, “queer” “woke” on the culture of France” and engulfed the very best of men and women sent as proud representatives of every participating nation.
It is reminiscent of the crucial reexamination for the beginning of World War I found in Michael Neiberg’s book, “ Dance of the Furies.” It represents a colossal disgrace to the dignity of humans and strikes a foreboding note for the destiny of civilization.
It seems to me that the bizarre events marking the opening of the 2024 Olympics in the” City of Light” symbolizes the rampant degeneration infecting our species globally. The parallels with the years preceding 1914 are uncanny. It appears that we are rushing to Gomorrah.
The American election in 2024 will be a fateful plebiscite on the complex set of allegiances fomenting across state and national boundaries. Each side is sounding the alarm that the victory of their opponent will toll the death knell of democracy. Given the lamentable qualities of the candidates both may be correct. I have made my choice( subject to revision) but I am not sanguine. The reactions of those who ascend to power and those who are deprived of it will not terminate the rabid hatreds now prevailing. The responses to the outcome of the election is likely to ignite the rapid onset and escalation of the fighting.
I fear that election day in November , 2024 may be the most fateful day in human history and the beginning of an immense tragedy, a clap of thunder in the autumn sky.
I have heard that when a priest was told about the blasphemous depiction of THE LAST SUPPER, he said, “Well, that explains the torrential rain, then.”
