is uh is on cut cut music cut yeah caribbean rhythm episode 29 with bronzy expert i said cut music i'm vibing i'm vibing i vibing with biden yes welcome biden he's ascended to almost ascended to nomination of dems nomination of democrat today it appears it is time for the dementia boomers to take power. I mean, okay, how much contempt, you think, hidden hands that run America, how much contempt do you think they have for you? Do you remember when they had a phoneboy, or as I call him, a salt-stick Rubio, and you had their talking mouths like Jenniger Rubin, just very offended, acting offended, that people were not taking the Rubio boy bait. They were saying things like Rubio, hispanic, a compelling story of working class men.

This Jennifer Rubin kept repeating this, and the other talking mouse, Bill Kristol, about their boy Rubio. This is the girl, it was like it was cast out, and the voters, they did not buy the compromised golem of a Florida car salesman, and who knows who else was pushing the rent Boy Rubio, the Rent Boy of the cycle. Should I talk to you, by the way, someday about GOP's Rent Boy problem? How did the guy Gannon, Jeff Gannon, look up Jeff Gannon, not to be compared to the Mercer-Begman-Bennen, but look up Jeff Gannon, you know, how did he get so high up in a Republican GOP structure? They assure their due diligence about Nazis who might ascend to older men or older men school district or something like this. They find out he's a Nazi, posted something two years ago. But about rent boys, no.

No due diligence. Actually, it seems that in the Republican Party of post-Bush years, that is your ticket to rising up in the GOP, having a rent boy past. But anyways, that is topic for another time. I'm vibing. Today I vibe with Biden. I hear this new phrase, are you vibing, from special dating application for iPotato. Yes, the special dating app. They use this phrase now, iVibe, for single moms. Apparently Bumble is a dating app for single moms from United States. In America, this has become a single mom dating app I hear. Every other girl is there is a, oh, here's my offspring. I feel so bad for those kids. Their moms display them on the dating app for a drug dealer or a rock band. They display this. How can you display your child on dating?

You know, I understand the traffic now for dating has moved mostly to hinge date app where you can actually find others who are similar to you in politics. You can have this search filter. And I give shout out to a powerful frog friend who has found waifu with this feature in a shit-lib blue city. I imagine that in such place, you can find girl who is conservative and you know, I think this feature is good because it's a special beginning. It's like the two of you against the world were both conservative in shit-lib city. But in such case, I would worry about being set up by Antifa. You must do your research. Please be careful. So anyway, yes, Biden rises up just as Chinese aid seems to be getting worse worldwide. I was mostly on the fence about it and relieved.

Some people say it's even just 0.2% death rate. But you see what's going on in Italy. It sounds very dire there, although I have a friend who says it's still overblown and that the media reports even in Italy overblown, because it's 700 dead with 10,000 cases, and that is the worst, I think, of anywhere in the world, that percentage. However, maybe with exception of China, but in Italy, they're also testing more, so it might be actually the real number of cases is far beyond 10,000, so then actual death rate lower. I don't know, but it's very worrisome now, because you see France, Spain, and Germany are on the same path. Only some weeks behind, America also on the same path. If you look at growth curve of cases, it can get quite bad. This can get very bad.

And those of you on the right who are attacking Trump as incompetent, of course the left is doing it, but some of you on the right are doing it too. I remind you that you live in a decaying, fat, negrified country. And there is not much that could have been done, I think. Keeping people from mobbing the hospitals is the best thing he can do now. Keeping people from panicking and mobbing the hospitals, which can become death traps. And I remind you that it's not just Trump, it's not as if the Europeans are any more competent or able to stop it either. The curve looks exactly the same. So I only hope that the hot weather or some other miracle will save us, because it seems like the very hot weather evaporates the droplets through which the Wuhan miasma is designed

to spread, and that's why Thailand and Brazil seem to be okay for now. It seems that way. I don't know any other reason, because Thailand is full of Chinese, ethnic Chinese, and was full of travel from Wuhan and that whole province itself. It was repeatedly reintroduced, but it does not pick up in Bangkok, which is tight-packed city, not entirely hygienic. So it must be the weather. I think, I hope that hot weather will save us. I don't know, but this thing about hospitals is frightening. You know, I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of certain kinds of death. I cannot imagine dying in hospitals, the horror of it. I'd rather die on the street or preferably alone in a forest, I would do that. But the idea of dying in a hospital is so horrible.

Is there another better idea of hell in the modern world that you can imagine? I don't know. But then you think, then you think today that the life cycle of so many people are born in a hospital, they die in a hospital, and they seek weekly or monthly grace and salvation from doctor in hospital, priest in white robes, in clinics, so you see now how the hospitals have become the churches and the temples of the modern world, complete now with human sacrifice of all kinds too, of course. Human sacrifice of all kinds, of the old and of the young, it's disgusting, it's a hellish place when people like me come along and criticize And then the loudmouth defenders of modern democracies, they get the spittle around the mouth, trying to explain to you that they live

in a comfortable, prosperous, and free world, and that it's only a fascist like me that upsets that, because I care too much about spiritual matters, they say, but I ask you if the life I just described now, where the doctor has become the priest of this unholy temple of the hospital, And I ask you if the life I sketched out is that of a free man, or if instead is one of the most hellish and pitiful that you can imagine in the history of any species. And when I or friends come along now or before, and I try to tell people that it doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be what life looks like, and that all that stands between this timid, scared, pathetic life that is not life, it is an end of life. It's basically an end of life care center from the day you are born.

But what stands between this world of scared invalids, and on the other hand, the high form of life, that is energy, and that is true life, that you see in Homer Heroes, or in El Ceballades, or some of the explorers I talk about. And what stands between this world and that one is only the courage of a few thousand men who need to feel entitled to take what is theirs. And when I tell you that I am called a Nazi and all this, and they come up with Hitler, and that we basically have to live with a polymorphously perverse, obesoid nanny life, or otherwise you get Auschwitz, that is the threat. And those are the two choices, you see. And they're somehow convinced this is what is puzzling and troubling, that they somehow convinced even many of the men who

could change this pitiful world into the shining world of the gods, and they convinced even them, you know, that it's unseemly because outshits or whatever. So then I think what will happen is that they will slowly boil human nature until it evaporates, and you're left with nothing but the swamp life of the open air hospice for a race of timid sclerotics. And I think actually, however, that it is not going going to work for them, because it gets too painful. It gets even now to a point where it's intolerable, and even you get even this middle-aged repoop, maybe boomer congressman, like Paul Gosar, I don't know how to pronounce his name, Gosar, and he has tweeted the other day that he wishes for a heroic death in battle and not to die, like a pitiful creature in a hospital.

You know what the Vikings called, they called it a straw death, Although that was not in hospitals. They say in sleep, you know, like if you die on straw in your sleep to them This was a subhuman death, but this is a death that the modern subhuman prefers I don't know So you you must seek death in battle because it is only way for spirit to be reborn With the same measure of vitality, but anyway, these are heavy things. I don't know what will happen with plague I hope warmer weather will come but I again give you a few pointers if you are attacked by it Or you suspect that you might be in areas that is in danger. You do not want to take anti fever medications in this case With an ibuprofen or Tylenol because that may shut off your immune system completely You must remember that this

SARS spliced with AIDS possibly whether by nature or by this I was going to say by design, but I don't know if so, but it seems to have some features of HIV that shut down immune system for two days and leaves people open to opportunistic infections. And in that case, where your antibodies are used against you, because you see, that's what it does. It uses your own antibodies against you. In that case, your fever is your last line of defense, so you may not want to cut it. You know, it attacks immune system. Okay, so if you have fever, I think you can withstand fever 104. That's very high fever, but you can withstand anything below that. But you need things like colostrum, lookup colostrum. It's expensive supplement, but you may need this.

Colostrum is the only exogenous source of immunoglobulin that you can find naturally. As for the human immunoglobulin, to which you would not have access anyway, because I think it is medical supply. But it's very interesting, you know, that Fedgov, federal government, requisition all of human immunoglobulin last August. What does that mean? That's also around when they recalled all the fancy, the high-grade 3M face masks because of a supposed glitch. What means? Look, I don't know what that means, But you can get colostrum whether cow colostrum or goat colostrum. This basically what the mother creates the first milk to build immune system of the calf or of the kid. And it provides to you immunoglobulin. The other thing you can get, I keep recommending elderberry

because not only does it stimulate white blood cells and such, but there are studies and studies I've linked how it's antiviral and it works against all kinds of colds, but also it slightly raises temperature. You may not know this, elderberry does this, and you want that in this circumstance. Again, I repeat to you, fever above 104, dangerous, but other than that, you can basically sustain. And also, of course, you add the basics, vitamin C and NAC, which is the N-acetylcysteine, which is very powerful antioxidant also boosts glutathione that's what NAC does it boosts glutathione which is the body's own most plentiful endogenous antioxidant you need for your immune system and then the other thing you may want to look into is zinc lozenges because I speak with man who studied

coronavirus class of viruses for decades and he knows that actually quite vulnerable to zinc also to copper by the way but you don't want to ingest this much copper but zinc lozenges are readily available and the other thing that may help is chloroquine I hear which is a form of quinine but these things are likely to help only at the edges you must do what you can to live well and to toughen your immune system if you can you should self quarantine at at least until warm weather gets here. But for now, I wish to leave behind such depressing things. So you look, my audience here are not talking to millions. Among those of you who listen, there are some who can change this trash world. Some among you who listen right now can form nucleus of new society. You are its legitimate government.

I give shout out, you know who you are. But when you see Menaquinol, he mentions this. When you see last 20 years, China released three plagues in last 20 years. SARS, swine flu, and now this. So now you tell me what will happen in next 20 years. Tell me if this abuse by the cretins who let this happen is something that men should tolerate. But among you, just my audience, even now, there are enough to change this trash world. We do not have to live in open-air museums, at best that is, an open-air nursing home. But anyway, now I want enough of this. Enough! I want to talk foods and other such thing on this show. Cut to break. Put the music. Cut to immediately to break the top foods. Cuban music for you again, do you like?

Besides Cuban sandwich, however, is there any other good Cuban food? I don't know, it's Cafe Con Leche I'm having now, this strong Cuban coffee, milk, I add glycine of course, and actually lately while I do show for you, I add Chaga mushroom extract, look that up, is very powerful supplement from siberoid mushroom, also grown in Alaska, grown on bark of birch tree, it gives great mental power. But so much of the Latin American cuisines, the cuisines of Crettino America, is all that area has garbage food. Is, for example, fried salami for breakfast in Colombia. So forgive if I repeat myself, but all of it is at that level. Or you have these arepas, so-called. Again, forgive if I repeat, but in Colombia, these so-called arepas, made of corn, supposedly,

and I have friends who left them on table while they were going to trip, And when they come back, the ants had eaten everything but the arepas, they didn't touch them, because who knows what that corn supposedly, what it actually is. So I have no taste even then for so-called Mexican food, okay? Yeah, Mexican, what, American, don't, I don't know. I have no taste for that food. I know some areas of Mexico have claimed to tasty foods, but it's not a real high cuisine. as elaborate as their sauces get, it's all just slop in the end. It's all just poverty food. It's poverty food, equivalent of taco. You know, you'd need the Habsburg Empire there in Mexico for a few generations to turn that cuisine raw material into something better and refined,

because otherwise it really is just peasant poverty food. I don't care how many different chilies or chocolate you add to Oaxacan slop and call it mole. In the end, it's just slop. It can be tasty and hearty and satisfying in its way, but in the end, burrito is not high cuisine. Do you like the chimichanga? You fry that burrito in motor oil, and then you can add sour cream sauce or ranch sauce on top. Do you like this? You like it? Mexico is an obese nation, okay? I think only second to America now. And in any case, there is a much worse food further south. Mexico is far from the worse. All of Panama or Colombia food is over fried fish. Or they have this dish called sancocho, which is just a soup with basically everything in it. They put chicken, banana, corn, rubber shaving,

discarded condom, everything in this soup. But really, I hate this soup. Of course, heavy with MSG, always. All the traditional foods of the world, of the peasants now, they add the MSG. That's traditional. So Bourdain, I don't like this guy Anthony Bourdain. But you watch this Colombia episode where he's on a roof with Colombian cholos, and they are proudly serving a rooster Sancocho soup. And what it basically is is this cauldron that they just keep throwing ingredients in. You know, they keep asking, hey, Esse, has this food, Esse, you know? And then nobody else in the world has this food, right? Esse, nobody has it. And as politically correct pussy as Bourdain was, even he told them that actually every people in the world has something like this food.

He doesn't add, you know, because this is peasant food, and the peasant is much the same anywhere you go in the world. So their food is always similar. Well, I mean, I think there are grades of peasants. So I want good French farmhouse food. Any day I would eat that, I would love it. But you go to a Panama City barrio or some such Nicaraguan shanty town and the whole neighborhood makes this cauldron and every household actually, it's like a picnic. Every household brings something and they add to it. So look, I know there's poverty in the world. I do not laugh at the poor. But do you have, on the other hand, do you have to glorify their crap food? They eat it because they have to. This is literally hovel, longhouse food. But it sets the heart of flutter of all the naive

white girl tourists who are the insane mothers who they go there and they're just amazed to see community and family life. So to them this is something wonderful when in fact community and family life is something you should want to escape, because the home is a place of filth. You know, that's fine. I know many of you will not agree with this, I'm not interested in converting the girls to my view of things. People think I'm fronting when I say these things to appear elitist, but neither my message here, nor my book, nor this show is not for everyone. What can I have to tell such creature? Now, if you want family, that's not what this about, But I'm telling you, there is a world of power outside that, where you must form brotherhoods of power.

But I mean that all this latrino American so-called cuisine is just denatured versions of European foods. So for example, they take the schnitzel. These are the tendis from Milan and Austria, North Italy, and where there's a plague now, I don't want to think about that. But they're the inventors of the tendis, you know, the North Italian and Austrians. And so the South American or Latino Americans, they take the schnitzel and they cook a variety of things like that, only they fry it in overused motor oil. Or they take some stews from Europe and they make them blander and dumber, to the extent that in some parts of Brazil, the food is so bland they cannot even handle the spicy McDonald McNuggets. I'm telling you the truth, they start retching if they try McDonald McNugget, I've seen it.

You know, everything, they put sugar in the food. They only like sweet foods. And you go to Argentina also, and it's all a retard food. So please, yes, okay, I know about the steak in Argentina. They actually have amazing meat in Argentina for a number of reasons. There are exceptions here and there, of course, all over the continent to what I am saying. There are exceptions, there is good food, and the meat in Argentina is special. Can I put my meat in your mouth? Yes, I'm copying Phil Henry. I stole that joke for him. Ted Steakhouse, can we put our meat in your mouth? But in Argentina, the cows, they have a lot of pasture land. It's huge country, very thinly populated. I think lowest population density. So they have a lot of pasture land,

so the cows, they do not need to move around a lot. So then the meat is not too muscular, not to overwork or stringy, you know, so it's tender. Even the grass-fed meat is quite tender. And furthermore, the soil of Argentina has exceptionally high nitrogen content, so the meat, it takes on entirely different tastes from anywhere else. You don't get that even from Uruguayan meat next door. Argentine meat is really the best, but you must consider that even in the case of the meat, they have in large part given up their national advantage. They threw away, in many cases, pastured meat. They stopped pasturing cow. And they moved to feedlot and grain-fed because it's faster. You can grow cow three times or four times as fast. And it's all about speed.

So then the land, possibly, with the highest atrazine use in the world is Argentina to the extent that in parts of this country, it rains atrazine. So the meat is polluted. And on top of this, you have the problem that many restaurants, they do not use good meats. You can tell. I don't know what they do. They scavenge meat so the good cuts, they don't use. And they don't know how to cook it. It's sometimes very hard to get steak cooked rare. So actually, although you can get the best meat in the world in Argentina, you have to know where. You have to know which places and also which butcheries, if you cook it yourself. So it's not so simple. And then the biggest part, of course, is you cannot eat meat every day. So then what do you do? The vegetables are all zonked, all industrial farms.

Then you come against the problem I tell you if you try to eat out that all the Latino-American food is demented copies of European food. Every Argentine, for example, will claim, oh, my grandmother is from Italy and she gave me the, passed down these recipes. But then you taste the food and it has nothing to do with Italian food. And it's not just me saying so. Any Italian who goes there for a while to live will tell you this story. It's all telephone game cuisine. It gets passed down through two or three generations and it loses its meaning. Telephone game cuisine, apocalyptic cuisine. Argentina pasta, for example, is this watery, overcooked stuff with a little sauce drizzled on top from a can. The pizza is a disaster.

It's a cardboard with the sweaty cheese that is completely fake cheese If any restaurant by the way steps out of line in Buenos Aires and cooks well It will often go out of business I'm not joking because the natives have only a pellet for this incredibly bad Bland food I've seen this happen that good restaurants will will close or let's say somebody invites home Argentines and they cook Vietnamese food with Viet spice there and an Argentine will Simply literally spit it out they can't take so part of this is in the case of the older gentleman part of it is positive because In case of older gentlemen and so forth they they do it because they try to copy the English style So then you can see that was English suits and English gate and they grew up in these

spartan military academies, probably with English sodomy. So I think they learn like the English to take a certain pride in sparse and even in bad food. So one of these old guy Argentine classics is scrambled eggs with fried potato slivers mixed in and peas mixed in. Please don't confuse. It's not like Spanish tortilla. OK, it's something entirely English. It's completely bland, dry, without any taste, without any salt added. But they take pride in this as a national classic. But that's in the best case, where the Argentine upper class larps the Anglo-Manors, the old men in particular, who were encouraged to military virtue in their youth. And they emphasize this as a matter of choice. But for everyone else in the country, and for everywhere else in South America,

or south of the United States. It's like I tell you, it's a kind of apocalyptic version of European food, watered down, bland European food with fourth rate ingredients, workman food. Beans and rice, oh god, this beans and rice is something else that authenticity is seeking a Meridork tourists. I was once in Bus Stop, okay, these are the flatulence seekers, they want beans and rice, it's considered, It's peasant food. I was once in bus stop, the bus stop late at night to, you know, you get off the bus you have to eat something. And I tell other tourists there who may not know, you know, please be careful when you eat Brazilian restaurant of no repute. Perhaps you may not want to eat. Perhaps you want to stick to packaged goods.

And this authenticity seeking a Meridork tourist, he tell me, well, rice and beans, that has to be good, right? As if it's virtuous to eat rice and beans, and because you're eating virtuous vegetarian food they think. By the way, rice and beans, Brazil is never vegetarian, but they don't know that. But even if it were, they think because it's virtuous food, it cannot be tainted. It's absurd. So the only exception to this awful latrino food is, in that whole area, only exception is Lima, Peru. Perus has some unusual good foods, not just ceviche, which you may know about, but many other specialties. Seafoods, scallops cooked in dainty ways, cold potato towers, like in 1950s party food with various fillings and sauces, but very well done, very well executed.

And my favorite, a thin cut octopus in a kind of olive mayonnaise. Mayonnaise with olives go very well together with octopus. So I think this could be international classic if more people knew about this. But a very rich seafood on that side of the Pacific, both in Peru and in Chile, which by the way, Chile otherwise is a completely crap food. Santiago, Chile, the capital being called a London of South America, or Chileans, the English of South America, I think. well known to be one of the most boring places. But Peru, I don't know how they got such good food. I don't know, there are Japanese there. Excuse me, they put something in my coffee, but there are Japanese, you know, in Peru, a Japanese long-standing Japanese community. Alberto Fujimori, the former president of Peru,

he just, he crush the Shining Path Maoist guerrillas. But that's topic for an entirely different show. He was Peruvian-Japanese president of Peru. And there are Chinese, too. Each with their own style of food. But I would not say that it's the mixture of these that makes for the good cuisine. That's the platitude that gets repeated. If it was simply the mixture, the confluence of different culinary traditions, if that were so, then Argentina would be the culinary capital of the world. It's full of Italians, of Spanish, of Galicians, Basque and a French Basque. In other words, literally the best cuisine traditions of the world went to Argentina, but somehow when they end up in that country, it ends up bland denatured crap after regeneration. So I think part of why this happens

is the New World Syndrome. What is a New World Syndrome is you make fast, you make cheap, okay? So instead, for example, of properly curing meats, instead of good-aged cured ham and prosciutto, where most of the taste in cured meats, you know, it has to come from the aging and curing process. But instead, they just overload it with salt. And they, of course, they treat the pigs in the same horrible, careless way. So everything fast, everything industrial. Industrial farms, too, you can imagine. But I think it goes beyond the new world mindset, the new world syndrome. I really do think these lands of the Americas are mostly cursed to have bad food. With the exception, again, of Peru, but why? What is it about Peru? And I do think it is the magic soil, the location

on the planet, particular location. I think there must be some sort of a geographic magnetic force lingering there just in that one place that brings culinary power to their people, some ghost of Incan past from Inca imperial court that learned to cook human flesh in all kinds of dainty ways. Maybe that's why. Same thing in Mexico, you know, the Mexican dish pozole. Originally made of human meat pozole, that's right, ceremonial dish, so maybe there is something to this. I don't know, the two exceptions, Mexico and Peru. Yeah, pig, the most lawful meat, long pig. That's what Plutarch said. So I actually think Plutarch said pork is the most, pork is the most lawful meat, not long pig. By getting confused, I change it. I must go to break. I be right back. Talk food to you.

And the truth is I am just getting started. There will be many such shows on foods. I will talk foods that I like and foods of this and of that place. Listen is important subject. I tell you before about this book by Pierre Vandenberghe, I tell you on last show. Pierre Vandenberghe, the ethnic phenomenon, where he discusses humans in a Marxist and then a Darwinian context, Darwinian evolutionary biology context, and he talk about ethnicity and how he's ingrained into human nature, how ethnic nepotism. Many of you will recognize Steve Saylor here, but how this idea of ethnic nepotism explains so much of social and political life worldwide. And it's very interesting how he ends this book, because he ends it talking about cuisine. And he's a little bit apologetic that he talk about food.

So he starts something like, I'm quoting Pierre Vandenberger, he's a bit apologetic he talk about food. He say, it may seem frivolous to conclude a book about ethnicity on a culinary note, But much of what social scientists have long treated as frivolous is in fact essential to our nature. The old adage that we are what we eat is only a partial truth. It stresses the environmental side of our existence. We are also unique combinations of DNA molecules programmed to behave beneficently towards those in whom we recognize ourselves. Ethnicity, I suggested, represents a wide circle of recognition of kinship as a food-sharing animal that ritualizes communal eating among kin. Eating together and eating the same things are our very human way of becoming more like one another.

They are also our uniquely human way of blending, quite literally, nature and nurture." So this is basically how Pierre van den Berge ends this very important book, The Ethnic Phenomenon. He begins the book, by the way, saying that Americans, including American social scientists and politicians, are somewhat confused by American example of assimilation. It distorts reality. They do not understand, therefore, history and what happens in the rest of the world, because they try to see it through this very unique case of assimilation in the United States, which doesn't especially work anyway. But that's how he begins the book. He ends the book with this observation about cuisine. Very strange. And Vandenberger, he does this in context of talking about how even when you have assimilation,

which is actually not the norm historically or anywhere else, but even when you have it, food traditions are something that ethnic groups preserve longer as an ethnic marker of recognition than almost anything else. They preserve a food way of preparation, food recipes. So let me quote him again. It's a good paragraph. No problem. I quote him. He say, cookery, however, is notoriously resistant to acculturation, assimilation. Often the last aspect of their culture that immigrant groups retain long after they lost use of their language is distinctive cooking and foods. It can be argued that taste for foods is deeply ingrained, being acquired early in life. But there is much more to food than taste. As a food-sharing animal, humans ritualize food consumption to the extent that some scholars

claimed to be able to reconstruct a culture and its relationship to the natural world from table manners." He gets that from Levi Strauss. He continues, There is no question, however, that cuisine can be retained as an ethnic marker long after other aspects of culture have been cast off. Why is there so little pressure to assimilate culinarily, precisely because food sharing is primarily a family ritual, reinforcing ties of nepotism, and thus, by extension, a good marker of ethnicity." End quote. So that's Pierre van den Berge talking about how important food is and table manners are. And he gives also examples of Italian Americans and many other and so on. The reason the book is so good is because it's full of historical examples and such.

But it made me think, you know, especially this word kookery, which you see in older translations of ancient Greek books. Because food and table manners and party manners will tell you a lot about a people, not only in relation to others, but to itself. I mean the way, for example, these customs change over time and why they change, what that says about a people or a nation. So last show, I talk for you beginning of Greeks in the colonies in Sicily, which for a time was an incredibly wealthy part of the Greek world called Greater Greece. But I want to take a break from that history to point out Sicily is also where the arts of cookery were invented, high cuisine invented in Sicily. And from there, it spread to Athens and other parts of the Greek world.

So even early on, actually, in Sicily, it was so wealthy and so obsessed with luxury and cooking technique, unless I'm confusing people, you have Epicarmus, a Sicilian comic poet, and about 3 fourths of Epicarmus surviving fragments. Nothing that he wrote survives, but of the surviving fragments. About 3 fourths deal with food, with cuisines, or with jokes about gourmands and epicures. It's very interesting. This was the direction that Sicilian culture was obsessed with even very early on. And this was the direction that Athenian and other Greek culture would take also in the decadent phrase of classical age. So let's say after Peloponnesian War and before Alexander. This is, let's say, 400 BC to 330 BC or so. In fourth century, where you have these comedies that

are almost entirely based around kookery examples, jokes about cooks, aspersions cast against the arrogance of cooks. And cooks were then as now like this faggot Mario Batali. They are these people who take on philosophical pretensions, even back in ancient Greece. And also in these plays, there are constant complaints about fishmongers who are seen as presumptuous crooks, and so on and so forth. All of this are concerned with cookery and cuisine. So that this whole time of Greek poetry, I think it's called middle comedy. That is a usual aficionado term for this period of Greek comedy. But I think basically you can think of as a comedy and culture of Athens and Greek world after the disaster of Peloponnesian War is comedy based around gluttony.

And Burkhart, the historian, he disapproves of this greatly, I think. He complains that the culture of the Athenian plays during this time give you impression that Athens was basically like a big open-air kitchen. That's image of Athens' culture during this end phase of classical age, that its literature entirely neglects the real art so much that, for example, our information about the visual arts of times like these comes from the Romans and not the Greeks, because their examples were not concerned with visual arts, But with food, the Greeks were completely dissolute gourmands and actors when Rome really came into serious contact with them. Burkhardt thinks this excessive focus on gross sensual pleasure is the result of the collapse of the Greek city, the city

as the center of spiritual intensity of Greek life, the collapse of this divine political unit. So instead of this intense divine vision that you get in classical or archaic statues, you get instead of that this frivolous, pleasure-loving society concerned with gluttony and gourmands, epicures. And furthermore, you get the philosophers and intellectuals that cater to this. So you may have heard repeated by many that Epicureans actually were not into, let's say, cuisine. You may have heard big brains tell you this, that followers of Epicurus and even the hedonists in ancient times, who were the followers of another Greek philosopher whose name was Aristippus, these were the hedonists, who came from modern day Libya coast that had big Greek colonies at the time,

like Cyrene, but you might have heard from some that well, such philosophers were not the same thing that is meant in modern vulgar language by these words. In other words, modern language means Epicurean hedonist, it means a pleasure seeker, somebody who loves food, sex, all these things. But many say that these ancient Epicureans, the version, it's not that he cared about fine chocolates and such, but that he wanted to avoid pain. So this was ancient Epicureans. And not just physical pain, but that they sought a state of calm. calmness that could not be moved by anxiety and fear, freedom also from psychological pain. It's very Buddhist in that way, if you want, Nietzsche has good thoughts on this. So you can easily imagine how this doctrine of the Epicureans, that you want to escape

fear and anxiety and psychological torment, or the doctrines of the Stoics later, how Now it comes about in ages that are very turbulent or decaying maybe, uncertain, so that this class of thinkers want some kind of escape from that type of world. And all of this is true, so far as it goes, the difference between ancient philosophical Epicureanism versus modern vulgar Epicureanism or Hedonism. And it's true as far as it goes, it's true. Some in case of more extreme hedonists of ancient world were more extreme than the Epicureans, the hedonist school from Libya, so called. They sought pleasure directly, it is true, and not just to avoid pain, but their leader Aristippus who came up with this theory, he had a very particular defense of why he did this.

He said he wanted to show that he remains himself and in control of his faculties, in complete control of himself and his reason, even in the midst of the biggest pleasures, so as to show that he is not moved by them. So you can say this was an excuse, but at least he had this pretense to show he's a tough guy, to show that you can enjoy it and it doesn't corrupt you. So this was justification even of the hidden-ist school. So you can see now, it's true, it's fine, there is difference between ancient philosophical Epicureanism, Hedonism on one hand, and the modern vulgar varieties of the same. It's true, so far as it goes. But there were also many schools of these intellectuals or philosophers, or we call

them what you want, that actually did teach precisely what people mean today by Hedonism. Exactly the same thing. So there is, for example, one of them, ancient philosophers, his name, Polyarchus, I think, And he openly said that the nature of men is to follow pleasures. That pleasures, not a reason, need to be obeyed. Because this nature of men to seek them and that they need to be new and often. Because the newness of a pleasure adds to that pleasure, it's a big part of what a pleasure is. He knew, he says, you get tired of it, of repetition and so on, so it needs to be new. So therefore he adds cakes and new cakes and cupcake contests, baking recipes, dainty pastries and such were to be favored because you could get a lot of innovation in that area of life.

I suppose in sex wars you could also, but that was probably more dangerous than before antibiotics or who knows. But in any case, he doesn't seem to explicitly emphasize this as much as he does cookery. But you see that they had this whole philosophical defense even of gluttony, and I assume maybe of obesity, but who knows? But so yes, pastries and such, they were a big deal, to the extent that during the decline of Spartan culture, you get a Spartan king in exile, and he too is a gourmand, except he eats, this is the Spartan king now, he eats bread and meat, and he relegates pastries, cakes and all of such things for the helots and the slaves, the underlings. So even during its decadent phrase, you can at least say that for Sparta, they wouldn't

stoop to this kind of culinary faggotry of the pastries and the sweetmeats. Not faggotry to that extent, but at least they still gorged just on meat. In this case of, I think, Agasilaus, he ate gurs and veal instead of the traditional meat of Sparta, which was pork. But he eat goose and veal, and oh yes, believe me, the Greeks knew about the delicious nature of goose liver, and likely foie gras, Athenaeus talks about this delicacy of goose liver. And he also talk a lot about table manners, parties, and foods, this kind of thing. So too bad nobody reads this man today, Athenaeus, only me, nobody reads him. But you have this culture of decay, of engrossment in sensual pleasures. After the collapse of the Greek city as center of spiritual life, this people begins to come

apart in end of classical age, right before Alexander. So let me give you another example, a close related example, to this example of degeneration of Greek table manners, party manners. So the Greek party, you may have heard, the symposium, many of you may know, was central part of Greek social life, going back to its very beginnings. Greek social life was based around two things, the agora, the marketplace where public things were discussed, and on the other hand, the symposium, which was a kind of a party, but you have to understand, let me tell you roughly how a Greek party took place, maybe before 600 or 500 BC, but after also in aristocratic houses at height of classical Greek culture, what was symposium like? It was party based around delight in conversation and in wine.

The two principle things, wine and conversation going together. And of course you may think, well, this what modern parties are like this too, but I think only in parts they are like this, whereas the Greeks made huge thing out of this, almost a religious procession. The invitations to come to symposium would go out to guests, and the guests would come as they pleased more or less at the beginning, or as they pleased is very informal, you could bring guests. There was no order of rank recognized once entered the party. It was informal and people dined at tables, rather simple foods you should think in the beginning, at least, salt, pork, bread, things like this. And then the tables would be removed. The tables would be removed. They would move the tables to the end of the dining hall.

A libation of unmixed wine would be poured. The flute girl, a girl would come in with flute, would play ceremonial song. And then the people would don crowns, recline, and the drinking would start. But always mixed wine, always mixed, they never drank unmixed wine. I think because it said their wine was very strong and possibly spiced. And at this point of meal, I think there would sometimes still be a little food available. Sweet cake, things like this, but not like fancy elaborate pastries as in Sicily or later, just basic sweet cake or bread to go along with the wine, but it was based entirely around the wine toward which a kind of divine reverence was paid to the wine, much beyond anything that exists in modern world, even by potato niggas with their liquor, you know, but the

whole point of this was the height of symposium this period was conversation, in which Greeks at all times they took great delight in conversation, even in their decadent phase, they took immense joy in conversation, in beautiful speeches, in hearing them. And during this phase, the climax of the symposium, when the real conversation, the talking started, and they reclined and they didn't sit at tables, they reclined. So you ask, why is this ritual party at once a religious procession and informal and full of jollity. It's very strange. I will look into it another time. Why would they have this strange party? Many commentators, Burkhart and Nietzsche, I believe it is because the Greeks were actually a melancholic and pessimistic race and they needed this kind of regular

party culture as a cure to that, to offset it. You know, very much like also the Japanese are a melancholic race given to depression, but they party very hard. You go look at businessmen in Shibuya and Tokyo passed out in their own puke at night following after work drinking party almost daily. This happens. And I've seen the Scandis too, Scandinavians, they become someone else entirely when they drink. Very jolly. I wish sometimes I could approach alcohol with this divine reverence, too. Divine reverence, just like a Japanese businessman filling up girls in Subway, exactly the same. But you know, why do I say all this? Because okay, that as a Greek party is a symposium at its height, at the height of Greek culture,

but as time went on, like I tell you, and as their customs changed and became Sicilian and luxurious, and based around sensual pleasures, the religious procession-like aspect of the symposium disappeared. And the delight in conversing disappeared. And instead, people started to go out to taverns more, and their parties took their character of something you may be better acquainted with from modern world, disgusting dinner parties, just a place to eat and drink. but with the focus, like I say, particularly on gluttony, or gourmandizing, or epicurean delights in over-sophisticated foods, especially at the courts of tyrants or of the courts of the very rich, that these held kind of you can think of mockeries of symposium in the decadent phase of Greek culture.

These cookery and party manners changed. And because food became so good and so elaborate at these parties, you had a kind of a new creature appear who, you know, is not quite the courtier, but it's just these kind of creatures came along, like the hedonist philosopher, Polyarchus, who I mentioned earlier, who just, they loved good food, and essentially they hoard themselves out for fine pastries and such things. So they would come to these parties of the rich to eat their food, and in exchange, they would be lickspittles and flatterers and toadies in exchange for eating at the table. And the word for this kind of creature is the parasite, literally from Greek, para-cytos. By the side of means para and cytos is word for, sometimes translated as grain, you know, food, generic,

but it's really grain generic. So, but it literally means somebody's by the side of your eating, by the side of your eating generic table, and they would be horribly, sometimes mistreated by the host, these parasites, abused with humiliations, jokes at their expense, sort of like the clown, but unlike the clown, they were not funny, they would just endure this in exchange for the foods. Well you know it's better than working or taking a wage, that was the thinking. This culture, as you may know, disdained labor and in particular taking a wage more than anything, so they would rather have this, but it became a kind of degenerated version of the symposium, you see, because the reason the host tolerated the parasitos, the parasite, this disgusting creature

who dined by his side is because he wanted company. He missed that conviviality of the symposium, and he wanted company, even bought and paid for company, And he wanted flattery. And he wanted a toady, especially, to laugh at all of his jokes. That was the big thing, having somebody to laugh at your jokes. So they allowed parasites to multiply at their tables until you can think what came of it. Just compare this type of party, the host and his parasites, to what I described earlier, the symposium at the height of Greek culture. So I mean this sounds, this later form of party, the host and its parasites, it sounds like a party at the DNC, or the RNC, the Democrat National Committee gala dinner. It sounds like a Podesta party with the lobster risotto and lobster mac and cheese and whatnot.

This sounds like one of our modern parties, except in many cases, the modern party, it's all parasites and not hosts, they're all toting and flattering each other. Parasites on each other. One centipede. May it end. May this trash world end. Go to break. I'll give you two examples or so of a demented example of modern foods. For example, party at a bongo house, a bongo state dinner. I cannot believe that people don't know that Michael Obama, Michelle Obama, who was a trainee lord and Obama himself were, of course they were the shit-lib upper middle class favorite mulatto. You all know this. flattered the upper middle class driver to have this mulatto gopher in the White House. And of course, it also tickled a few of the European technocrat political class to see

this. Others did not like it, but they kept it private. But overall, the era, what I'm telling you, you would not know from media reports, but it was a huge embarrassment to America. This what I'm telling you, in Russia, in China, in many third world countries that nevertheless have strong political class they had nothing but contempt because the Negro is generally a peasant and at least in Obama's case he was a kind of Negro peasant with upper middle class pretension which is the worst kind. Huge peasants repeatedly embarrassed America abroad and it's basically what they wanted to think Trump or Bush W would like except it was actually Obama who was like this, this kind of off, off with his broad shoulders, workhorse wife, if that was indeed a she.

But you look at their state dinners, and you know, I'm not saying, Michael Savage talked about some of this before, about Michelle Obama's obsession with short rib, for example, which can actually be okay ingredient, but not in the way she did it. So it made me think to look at some of their state dinner menus, and I did is disgusting, is disgusting. You know, I look at some of these menus. Where is, let me find it here. Let me find it for you here. Yes, I find it, it kinda pays to start. They have a fish in a sweet sour sauce with eggplant. Disgusting, taken from Panda Express. Fish sweet sour sauce with eggplant. Roasted figs with pesto, it doesn't go. You cannot do this mixture. Mario Batali is a huge faggot, he needs to be exiled. Exiled to Wuhan right now, Mario Batali.

So they say now, velvety pasta pillow, and you loti stuffed with sweet potato, nutmeg, parsley, and sage, inedible, completely indigestible, cardboard flavor, taken from Hormel. I bet you anything this Mario Batali took this frozen out of a Hormel package, served it. But this what all of Obama dinners, state dinners were like. I am here looking at a state dinner he had for Singapore, Singapore leader of state. He serve gazpacho, filet of beef, bouquet of vegetables, beeb lettuce salad with watercress, bell paese, cheese, and then vanilla ice cream with strawberries flambé. What is this menu? This is cafeteria menu. This is a manual for hospital, and he served at state dinner for Singapore. How can you serve them that? You think I am exaggerating. I'm not exaggerating.

He regularly served crab food and cheap ingredients, causing a scandal when the Chinese came by serving him this guy, Xi Jinping, serving him cheap, cheap wine, which you say, well, he did it to style on the Chinese. he was a simp for the Chinese, but he serves them, let me tell you the menu so you understand, wild mushroom soup with black truffle. It's instant soup taken out of a package accompanied by, what does this say, steaming wine? Steaming, I cannot read that. So butter poached Maine lobster with spinach, shiitake, and leek rice noodle rolls, grilled cannon of Colorado lamb with garlic milk. What poppy seed bread and butter puddings? This is basically airplane food. He's serving regularly. Obama at state dinner apparently serve a grade above airplane food, if you can call it that.

This is what this reads like to me. Sir, would you like the choice of the bouquet vegetable? What is this? How can he serve this? And then, of course, numerous idiotic faux pas. For example, when India Prime Minister, or whatever you want to call him, came, the guy before Modi, not Modi, I don't remember his name, but the guy before Modi, this was Dinar Manu who served to this poor guy. Listen how Obama tortured him. And you can't say, oh, he did it on purpose like he did with Xi Jinping. By the way, with the menu I read you before, the scandal came because apparently he served cheap wine to the dinner, $20 or $30 wine. So you can say, well, he was trying to insult the Chinese. No, he was not. Look what he does for Indian prime minister, and it was not like Modi who you say Obama

hates Modi. He didn't hate this guy, but this way he serves him. Pinto and eggplant salad. White house arugula. Would you eat that? Arugula grown by Michelle Obama with, can you believe what she put in the fertilizer for his garden? I don't know. The red lentil soup with fresh cheese. I guess that's paneer. I would not eat paneer if anyone make it. Akan says paneer is basically a pajit regurgitated in some deli hovel. version of cheese, but you see on this menu he served him a red lentil soup, so basically you read this whole menu, a roasted potato dumpling with tomato chutney, green curry prawns, you get the choice again like you do on airline, pumpkin pie tart, pear tartan, but basically the whole menu is a play on

Indian food, which I think is a slap in the face. If you are head of state and When you go to India or somewhere else, would you like them to serve you a play on hamburger? I guess it's playful, but they are not going to do it well. You go there to try their native foods, which is what Obama should have showcased on these menus. Local gourmet producers, things of this sort. You can have amazing foods that you can serve. But no, he serves this menu, which is equivalent you can imagine to, let's say, if you remember when Obama met a Japanese emperor and he did a deep bow, and the guy looked at him like he was completely insane, okay, because it's that kind of faggot thing, you know, oh, it's a foreign culture, it's a foreign culture, I have to respect this foreign culture and

pay obeisance to it. It's the same thing with this menu serving Indian food when this poor guy came. Bad copy, airplane version of Indian food. Indigestible, you know. Vomited out lentil slop from Kabbal-e-Chana. I would not eat that, but he serves this to Indian prime minister. I don't know how you serve this to world leaders. I don't want to say cafeteria, But it's airplane or bistro or so-called bistro if you go to tryhard restaurant in provincial place somewhere and they try to do haute cuisine. And you get this trash that I read for you from these menus. But then they serve this to world leaders, I don't understand. He should instead showcase unusual ingredients and I don't mean dainty peacock brains or this like for satirical Roman feast.

But you know, in Japan, for example, in spring, they have foraged mountain spring vegetables. It's tradition. It shows the season. It shows the nation. And if you are world leader and they serve you this, or unusual fish native to this or that coastline, to showcase their nation, that is what America could have done under Obama to show this particular farm with a biodynamic organic growing process. But no, this completely pretentious menu, okay? So he could have done high-class Yankee food. Imagine a menu, I could have done this, you know, New World classic. Very simple, I'm not saying complicated foods, but you could have salt cod steak grilled, a piece of salt cod grilled, made very tender. It can be cooked in oil, made very tender, served with puree of some rare squash variety,

or rare New World vegetables and such things. It's that particular combination would show the spirit and history of the New World and of old America, or something based around traditional American cider, which had, you know, that was traditional liquor, by the way, alcohol of Americas was the cider in the northeast of colonial states, or rum made from molasses or such things. You could go back to traditional American foods or even barbecue. I know there is barbecue craze. I'm not saying anything you don't know that are hipster restaurants. But I think Americans in general cook meat better than anywhere else in the world. And there were so many options that he could have done. He could have invited Bobby Flay to be the White House nationalist dynamo chef of the

White House instead of Mario Batali. But no, nothing like this. No classics, no exciting ingredients, nothing showing America's pride or history, just instead the equivalent of lobster risotto, the Podesta Bugman office airplane, denatured food. The food of the Stryver office Bugman is what Obama served, and $30 wine screwed up for state dinner. This is why China, Singapore, Russia, Italy, they teamed up to hack the voting machines in 2016 for Trump. That's right, there was foreign interference. These nations, they wanted even a McDonald's is better than what Obama served these menus I briefly read for you. And tomorrow I will brave the plague, the plague streets to try to find a Big Mac at some kind of McDonald's to make up for this show. Thank you so much.
