“The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. (Deuteronomy 29:29)
As a newbie in Christ about 18 yrs ago, I was massively curious and thirsty for the word, for what Christ was doing in using the common man to show His will, what He was doing to effect our day.
I came across a tv program about Bible Codes and a book published in 1997 by Michael Drosnin explaining the theory of ELS (Equidistant Letter Sequence) hidden messages found in the Torah (the first five books of the Bible).
I wondered if it was at all possible that God really did embed secret messages inside the bible but would have to wait until man could understand how to unravel its principles or even reveal warnings of events to happen including the assassinations of US President John F. Kennedy in November 22, 1963, and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in November 4, 1995
It’s well worth your effort to buy it and learn from his understanding and applying the principle of using ELS to unlock the secrets hidden in the Torah.
“The Bible code (Hebrew: צפנים בתנ”ך), also known as the Torah code, is a purported set of secret messages encoded within the text Hebrew Bible and describing prophesies and other guidance regarding the future. This hidden code has been described as a method by which specific letters from the text can be selected to reveal an otherwise obscured message. Though Bible codes have been postulated and studied for centuries, the subject has been popularized in modern times by Michael Drosnin’s book The Bible Code. ” (source: Bible Code – Wikipedia.org)
Encounters with the Unexplained – Secrets of the Bible Code Ep 2
The Torah ( “Instruction”, “Teaching”) is the Jewish name for the first five books of the Jewish Bible. In Hebrew the five books are named by the first phrase in the text:
- Bereshit (“In the beginning,” Book of Genesis),
- Shemot (“Names,” Exodus),
- Vayikra (“He called”, Leviticus),
- Bamidbar (“In the desert,” Numbers) and
- Devarim (“Words,” Deuteronomy).
In rabbinic literature the word Torah denotes both these five books, Torah Shebichtav (תורה שבכתב, “Torah that is written”), and an Oral Torah, Torah Shebe’al Peh (תורה שבעל פה, “Torah that is spoken”).
The Oral Torah consists of the traditional interpretations and amplifications handed down by word of mouth from generation to generation and now embodied in the Talmud (תַּלְמוּד) and Midrash (מדרש) . (source: Wikipedia)
The Torah is so precise and specific, that everyone is to own a Sefer Torah, with its method of preparation, the size of the scroll and margin, its verses, including the name of God. From sewing the sheets together, including its appurtenances (attachments), the Breastplate (suspended by a chain from the top of the rollers is the breastplate, to which, in the case of the crowns, little bells are attached. Lions, eagles, flags, and the Magen Dawid either chased or embossed, or painted, are the principal decorations), its history and personal copies of the Torah can be reviewed and studied further in detail in the Jewish Encyclopedia.
God didn’t limit revealing Himself, His Word, or His will by only reading the bible. He reveals Himself through dreams and visions by and through the Holy Spirit:
- Then You scare me with dreams And terrify me with visions (Job 7:14)
- As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. (Daniel 1:17)
- “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. (Joel 2:28; Acts 2:17)
God will also use His angels to deliver messages:
- Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. (Luke 1:30)
- When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, “Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city.” (Genesis 19:15)
- And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, “The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!” (Judges 6:12)
God doesn’t spare anyone from being His “voice” known as His prophets:
- So the LORD said to Moses: “See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet. (Exodus 7:1)
- Now therefore, restore the man’s wife; for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours.” (Genesis 20:7)
- When they came there to the hill, there was a group of prophets to meet him; then the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them. (1 Samuel 10:10)
Prophets of old are used as examples; however, we do have modern day prophets. Below is an audio link of a discussion by a Pastor from Gallipolis, Ohio who received a dream December 28, 2011, involving America:
Here is a link to the written post “Important Prophecy for America“.
I, personally, do not own the computer software that is used for exploring codes in the Torah. I did take an interest in the process and I don’t discourage anyone else from trying it, I just discovered that if I ask the God of all wisdom directly in prayer the “What is?” He will answer me. This establishes a deeper relationship in Him and an even deeper trust in Him.
Fascinating doesn’t even begin to describe the mysteries and their revelations by God Almighty.

New Delhi :WHILE an “irresponsible” Opposition was trying to paint the BJP as anti-Dalit, the Modi government was committed to ensuring that the SC/ST Atrocities Act is not diluted, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said at the Express Adda here on Saturday.
“Those promoting these agitations want the government to be seen as anti-Dalit. But sorry, we are not giving them the opportunity. We are with SC/STs. For those who want to make political capital out of a social guarantee given by our Constitution, I am really disappointed… that instead of fighting for (SC/ST) rights, they are building distrust… For the last 60 years, you (the Opposition) haven’t done anything for them,” Sitharaman said.
She added that it was a court that had ordered change in provisions of the SC/ST Act. “These decisions are not of the government. The dilution in the Act would mean that a few benefits given to the Dalits, just to take their fight for justice a bit forward, will all go. We are not in favour. We will not dilute it,” the BJP leader said.
The Express Adda is a series of interactions with people at the centre of change.
Sitharaman said no government in the past has been put constantly on test as the Modi government. “Questions never stop. This government, if anything, has faced tonnes and tonnes of questions. We are continuously put on test… ‘Prove yourself in Delhi, Bihar, Assam… and now Karnataka’.”
She added that unlike the Opposition, the BJP never talked of losing trust in the government when it was on the other side. “When corruption was rampant, we did not lose trust… But for everything, they say, trust is gone. On the Dalit andolan (protest), the trust in Modi is gone. On media, trust is gone.”
Asked about the controversy surrounding a recent circular by the I&B Ministry as a means to curb fake news, which was later withdrawn, and the uneasy relationship between the media and government, Sitharaman said, “Why would media lose trust with us? I thought you now have a lot more opportunities to question the government… During Kapil Sabil’s time (when (Section 66 A of the IT Act was brought in), none of us lost trust in the government. Rajiv Gandhi got a bhayankar kanoon (dreadful law, on defamation), no trust was lost. Now for everything, it is either this or ‘India doesn’t exist the next morning’.”
The first woman to hold full-time charge of the Defence Ministry, Sitharaman said that after the ‘surgical strikes’ against Pakistan, “We are finishing them off at the border. If that makes the border hot, so be it. We can’t allow them to come in and after that strategise on how to deal with it… which becomes terrorism on our land. So the policy is not to keep it hot or cold, it is more to make sure that it is timely, relevant on the ground, rather than allowing them to come in and determine the rules of the game.”
Special judge seeks 6 months time from SC to conclude trial
New Delhi: A special judge holding trial in Babri Masjid demolition case, involving BJP veterans L K Advani, M M Joshi and others, Monday moved the Supreme Court seeking six more months to conclude the trial in the case.
The special judge, in a letter written in May, has informed the top court that he is due to superannuate on September 30, 2019. The matter came up for hearing on Monday before a bench headed by Justice R F Nariman, which asked the Uttar Pradesh government to apprise it by July 19 about a mechanism by which the tenure of the special judge could be extended till he delivered the verdict in the high profile case.
On April 19, 2017, the top court had ordered day-to-day trial to be concluded in two years in the case.
‘Won’t meet Kharge, Azad…’: Karnataka MLAs write to Mumbai police
Bengaluru: The 14 rebel Karnataka MLAs, staying in Mumbai’s luxury hotel, have written to state police over an alleged ‘threat’ from senior Karnataka and Maharashtra Congress leaders, including Mallikarjun Kharge and Ghulam Nabi Azad.
“We’ve absolutely no intentions in meeting Mallikarjun Kharge, GN Azad or any Congress dignitaries from Maharashtra and Karnataka or any political leader as we anticipate serious threat from them,” MLAs wrote to senior police inspector, Mumbai’s Powai Police Station, according to ANI.
The rebels have been rebuffing efforts by the leaders of Karnataka’s JD(S)-Congress combine to reach out to them in a an effort to find a solution to the crisis triggered by the MLAs resigning on July 6 and then going incommunicado.
The coalition government, which has been wobbly since it came into being last year, is facing a serious crisis now with 16 MLAs – 13 of the Congress and three of the JD(S) – resigning from their Assembly membership.
Seeking protection, the rebel MLAs urged the police officer to make necessary arrangements to ensure that the leaders are not allowed to meet them.
“We the respected Members of Karnataka Assembly are currently staying at Renaissance Hotel Powai, would like to inform you that we have absolutely no intentions in meeting Shri Mallikarjun Kharge ji or Ghulam Nabi Azad ji or any Congress dignitaries or functionaries from Maharashtra and Karnataka Congress team leaders or any other political leaders. We anticipate serious threat from them. We hereby request you to kindly make necessary arrangements to stop these people from meeting us in case the situation arises,” the letter read.
Among the legislators who signed the letter are Shivram Hebbar, B.C. Patil, Mahesh K, Vishwanath, Muniratnam, Narayan Gowda, R Shankar, H Nagesh, Pratap Patil, Gopalaiah, Ramesh J, MTB Nagraj, Somshekar and Basavaraja.
Earlier last week, the rebel MLAs stonewalled Congress leader DK Shivakumar’s attempts to meet them. He was kept waiting for 5 hours outside the hotel and eventually detained by the Mumbai police.
On July 11, the dissident MLAs had returned to the hotel here after meeting Karnataka Assembly Speaker KR Ramesh Kumar in Bengaluru.
The development came after the Supreme Court had directed them to meet the Speaker and resubmit their resignations afresh. The top court had on July 12 ordered a status quo until July 16 on a plea filed by 10 dissident MLAs of Congress and JD(S) seeking a direction to the Assembly Speaker to accept their resignation and not proceed with the applications for their disqualification.
Cleric beaten up in Baghpat for not chanting ‘Jai Sri Ram’
New Delhi: A cleric in Baghpat has alleged that he was assaulted by a group of youth as he refused to chant ‘Jai Sri Ram’. According to the cleric, he was on his way to his home on a motorcycle when he was stopped by the miscreants.
The youth allegedly asked the cleric, Imlaur Rehman, to chant ‘Jai Sri Ram’, but when he refused to do the same, they started beating him up mercilessly. The cleric alleged that they even took off his skull cap and tried to pull his beard.
No one came to his rescue despite his cry for help. He somehow managed to escape the spot and reached to the police for help. The cops have initiated an inquiry into the case.
“I was going on my motorcycle when 10-12 people in a vehicle apprehended my bike. They asked me to chant ‘Jai Sri Ram’ and when I failed to comply, they started beating me up. They were carrying sharp weapons,” said the cleric.
“I ran to save my life and sought help from passers-by, but no one came to help me. There was no one at the police station when I reached there. Then I called my friend who helped me get in touch with concerned officials,” he added.
When his family members were informed about the incident, they reacted in anger and claimed that a handful of people were trying to disrupt communal harmony in the area. They said that strict action must be taken against such people.
Speaking to Zee News, the cleric’s brother called for action against the miscreants to forced him to chant ‘Jai Sri Ram’ and assaulted him. He further said that if justice was not delivered, they would ensured that a decision was taken at the panchayat level.
The police said that a case had been registered against 10-12 unidentified accused. The incident occurred between 5 and 5.30 pm on Sunday at a distance of 200 metres from Saror police station.

Even in the realm of those memoirs that read like a vivid tapestry of adventure and eccentricity, Kenneth Handlebarr’s ‘My Outrageous Life in W1’ stands as a remarkable testament to a life lived on the fringes of convention. Handlebarr’s prose is an unapologetic celebration of his boundless audacity and insatiable appetite for the extraordinary, leaving readers both awe-inspired and bewildered by the sheer scope of his experiences.
The book opens with a resounding declaration: “I’ve always believed that life is meant to be lived outrageously or not at all.” This sentiment sets the tone for what unfolds in the subsequent pages, as Handlebarr regales us with tales that defy the ordinary and challenge the limits of human endeavour.
One can’t help but marvel at Handlebarr’s audaciousness when reading about his impromptu voyage aboard a cargo ship to the Antarctic, inspired solely by a desire to witness the ethereal dance of the Southern Lights. His description of the otherworldly hues painting the polar skies is matched only by the sheer daring it took to make such a journey in the first place.
Throughout the memoir, Handlebarr peppers his recollections with anecdotes that illustrate his irrepressible zest for life. In one passage, he recounts how he single-handedly organized a masquerade ball in his Fitzroy Square sitting-room, transforming the ordinary space into a breathtaking spectacle. “Who says you can’t bring a bit of Venice to London?” he asks, capturing his determination to infuse the mundane with magic.
While Handlebarr’s escapades are undoubtedly the stuff of legend, what’s equally astonishing is the longevity with which he navigated his whirlwind existence. As he unflinchingly asserts, “Age is just a number, darling.” This sentiment rings true as he regales us with tales of scaling the Himalayas in his seventies and participating in a cross-country uni-cycling race in his eighties, defying societal expectations at every turn.
‘My Outrageous Life in W1’ is not just a memoir; it’s a manifesto for embracing life without reservation. Handlebarr’s unabashed pursuit of his passions, whether it’s a midnight swim in the River Thames or a spontaneous leap into the world of competitive skydiving, challenges us to question the boundaries we impose upon ourselves.
As one flips through the pages of Handlebarr’s extraordinary journey, a mixture of admiration and astonishment takes hold. His life’s story resonates as an affirmation that the human spirit is boundless and that a life lived outrageously is a life truly lived. So here’s to Kenneth Handlebarr – a man who defied the ordinary and showed us all that the art of living lies in daring to live beyond bounds.

Let the Roseville City Council know what’s important to you. On August 8, the City Council will hold a budget hearing and you are invited to comment.
The City Council requested staff present a budget that cuts operations for tax supported programs by 2%. The proposed budget is based on priorities of the City Council feedback from the community survey,Imagine Roseville 2025 and the >,Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
Among recommendations in the draft budget are: * Reduction of three additional staff positions including eliminating a Recreation Supervisor, a position in Streets and Pathways. * Reducing the Police Community Relations Coordinator position to half time * Eliminating the Leaf Pickup Program * Eliminating the Rosefest Parade, the Fourth of July Celebration and other events * Eliminating the Summer Entertainment series * Reducing staffing for the main reception desk * Zero percent wage increase in 2012 and a one percent increase in 2013
The proposed budget implements a two-year budget cycle, helping the council to make funding decisions based on long-term needs.
In June the City Council agreed to a target not-to-exceed levy increase of 3.4% over the 2011 budget. The difference between the levy and the 2% operations decrease would be used to strengthen capital replacements. The 3.4% target is being used for staff planning purposes. However, the council could adopt a higher or lower not-to-exceed levy in September. The City Council will adopt the final budget and levy in December.
Roseville routinely compares budgets and tax levies with other metro-area suburbs of similar size and demographics. For the tenth year in a row Roseville has the lowest tax ranking. In 1995, Roseville was 12% below the peer average. In 2000, we were 22% below average. Today, we are 27% below average.
So what do you think of these plans? The Council has set aside time at the August 8 meeting specifically for public comments regarding the proposed budget. If you are not able to attend the meeting you can share your thoughts with Councilmembers ahead of time.

Sinclair Beiles, A South African Abroad, Lapis Press, 1991.
I first came across Sinclair Beiles’s name one drunken night in 1991 outside a bookshop in Yeoville’s Rockey Street. A newspaper clipping reviewing Sinclair’s selected poems A South African Abroad, published by Lapis Press in California, was pinned up in the bookshop window with a handwritten message ‘Soon available in South Africa’ scrawled at the bottom. In a few short paragraphs I learned that Beiles had mixed with the Beat poets, collaborated with William Burroughs on Minutes to Go, was influenced by surrealism and was virtually ignored in South Africa.
I was immediately excited by what seemed akin to the surrealist marvellous exploding into my dull mediocre existence of restricted and frustrated desires. I couldn’t believe that a South African poet had been out there in the avant-garde European literary scene.
I formed a picture of Sinclair in my mind that was to prove worlds apart from what he actually was. I saw him as a lean, calm pipe-smoking poet who had lounged around on placid Greek beaches contemplating sunsets and occasionally churning out fragile yet fascinating poetry.
Over the next year or two I picked up more information and hints about what Sinclair was really all about. I borrowed a copy of A South African Abroad and apart from the selection from his initial collection — Ashes of Experience — I found most of the poems weak. This I found was almost a trademark of Sinclair — flashes of excellent poetry punctuated by collections of dubious quality, some of which seemed no better than doggerel. A young man in a bookshop told me that the handful of collections sampled for the selected volume were misleading. Sinclair was in fact a prolific writer, churning out masses of poems and plays in frantic bursts of activity. He was also, a woman informed me, ‘not well in the head’. He roamed the streets of Yeoville — where he lived — in a similar fashion to how he had roamed the streets of Paris. An article about him in the Mail & Guardian at the time referred to him as ‘The Wandering Poet of Paris and Yeoville’.
Two years later I read that Sinclair’s play about Lorca, My Brother Federico, was being performed at the experimental Black Sun Theatre. Shortly after that, I obtained Sinclair’s home telephone number from poet Roy Blumenthal, who had until recently been quite close with him. Roy had endured enough of Sinclair’s paranoid behaviour, and had suffered the displeasure of having Sinclair yelling at him in the street, threatening to ram his typewriter down Roy’s throat and challenging him to a boxing match.
A few weeks later I had succeeded in setting up a meeting with Sinclair at his house. I was stunned to find that his house looked onto the back of a block of flats that I had been staying in only a couple of years previously. On arriving at his door — he had invited me round for Sunday afternoon tea — I was greeted by his wife, Marta Proctor. - Gary Cummiskey and Eva Kowalska read more here
Sinclair Beiles, Houses of Joy, The Olympia Press, 1958.
One of the funniest moments in the history of Olympia came when the South African poet Sinclair Beiles entered Girodias' office with sheets of paper adorned by Chinese characters. Telling Girodias a story about youth spent among missionaries in China, Beiles indicated his reams of parchment, and stated that they were unique erotic writings from that nation, and all he'd need to translate this phenomenal document would be some money each week for a new chapter... As it turns out, Beiles was working from an earlier translation of the 15th century erotic classic Jin Ping Mei, a work about Hsi Men (Ximen Qing) and his six wives that, with its graphic descriptions and instructions, is said to have inspired the Kama Sutra, among other books. The Jin, Ping and Mei in the title are the later three wives, and the most interesting ones for our purposes. One of those later spouses, whose name translates as Golden Lotus, is a character from the classic "Outlaws of the Marsh," delightful woman lady who poisons her ugly, smelly, not-getting-it-done first husband to marry the libertine Hsi Men, and is punished for this crime by the tiger-slaying, heroic brother of husband one. In Jin Ping Mei, Hsi Men is able to take advantage of the corrupt regime and have that heroic brother sent far, far away, while he continues to enjoy his wives and lifestyle. Beiles simplified and improved upon his translation, removing tedious interviews with court officials and drawing out some of the more intimate scenes. The work is also known, in English, as "Golden Lotus," "The Love Pagoda," "The Six Wives of Hsi Men," etc...

Sinclair Beiles was a South African beat poet and editor for Maurice Girodias at the Olympia Press in Paris. He developed along with William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin the cut-up technique of writing poetry and literature.Beiles was involved with American beat poets Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso and Brion Gysin, and Burroughs at the legendary Beat Hotel in Paris. The photographer Harold Chapman recorded this period in his book "The Beat Hotel" (Gris Banal, 1984). He co-authored "Minutes to Go with Burroughs, Gysin and Corso" (Two Cities Editions, 1960). Beiles helped edit Burroughs' "Naked Lunch."
Sinclair Beiles, Ashes of Experience, Wurm Publication, 1969.
Sinclair Beiles worked in Paris as chief editor for publisher Maurice Girodias’ Olympia Press. He established links with the American beat generation of writers, particularly Allen Ginsberg, Brion Gysin, Gregory Corso and William Burroughs, and they collaborated on the legendary collection of Dadaist cut-ups, Minutes to go. When the Paris scene fell apart in the early sixties, he left for Greece. In 1969 Beiles published a volume of poetry, Ashes of experience. This volume, largely written during his stay in Greece, was his first substantial publication.
Classic asylum repertoire, containing a variety of notes, verses, letters and itineraries, written, according to Beiles, in a two-week manic episode and only the surviving notes of his original manuscript, which Beiles explains in the Preface.
In a limited first edition of only 36 copies, Bone Hebrew contains poems, letters, and drawings by Sinclair Beiles, tributes to and memories of Beiles by Heathcote Williams, Lilliane Lijn, and Yannis Livadas, photographs and artwork, all lovingly compiled and edited by Beiles’s friend Gerard Bellaart. Bone Hebrew is a beautiful tribute to the mad and lost poet from South Africa.
“But, despite all this, the sad, mad and bruised old mind that was Sinclair Beiles was at root the mind of a natural ecstatic, a luftmensch, of the kind that society is always inclined to punish for one reason or another, which is why unreason is sometimes such an attractive escape route…” (Heathcote Williams)
In The Idiot’s Voice Cold Turkey Press brings together poems, artwork, and a letter by Beiles from the Cold Turkey Press archives. In this selection of works, to which a couple of photos were added, Gerard Bellaart pays tribute to his friend Sinclair Beiles.
“…it’s tempting to think, as just intimated, that Sinclair was perhaps also privately haunted by some dark demons buried deep in his DNA, the dybbuks and golems of the shtetl which no one would ever be able to do anything about (and Sinclair must certainly have tried – he ran through psychiatrists like boxes of Kleenex).” –Heathcote Williams.
In 1972 Skotnes illustrated Tales by Sinclair Beiles. This was his first attempt at book illustration – followed in 1975 by the illustration of Mhudi by Sol Plaatje.
Poems by Sinclair Beiles; foreword by Stephen Gray; with six woodcuts printed from the original blocks by Cecil Skotnes.

Who Was Sinclair Beiles?
The following is an excerpt from Gary Cummiskey and Eva Kowalska, Who Was Sinclair Beiles?, published in 2009 by Dye Hard Press. The book contains interviews and essays that create a portrait of Sinclair Beiles, the South African poet who worked for Olympia Press, helped to edit Naked Lunch, and collaborated with William Burroughs, Brion Gysin, and Gregory Corso on the first cut-up book, Minutes to Go.

The Israeli government’s plans for a judicial overhaul continue to face intense opposition. On 12 September 2023, Israel’s Supreme Court (sitting as the High Court of Justice) began hearing petitions against the first piece of overhaul legislation, which was passed by the Israeli Knesset in July. Since the overhaul was first announced at the beginning of 2023, hundreds of thousands of Israelis have taken part in protests against the plans. Israeli police have in some cases responded with excessive force and have carried out dozens of arbitrary arrests.
The overhaul is designed to erode judicial review and weaken the oversight powers of Israel’s Supreme Court. It has alarming implications for human rights, particularly for Palestinians, as well as other marginalized groups in Israel.
Dangerous though these plans are, the fact remains that Israel’s judiciary has regularly upheld laws, policies and practices which help to maintain and enforce Israel’s system of apartheid against Palestinians – the Supreme Court has signed off on many of the violations that underpin the apartheid system.
Below is a brief guide to what’s happening, why the overhaul could make things even worse – and why, despite its serious flaws, Israel’s judiciary must not be made subordinate to the government.
What are the Israeli government’s plans for reforms?
In January 2023, Israel’s Justice Minister announced plans to overhaul the country’s judiciary. The proposed overhaul includes a series of initiatives to amend Israel’s legislation around things like judicial independence and the Supreme Court’s powers of oversight. The plans include:
• Giving the Israeli government absolute power over the appointment of judges and prosecutors;
• Allowing government ministries to appoint their own legal advisors;
• Preventing the High Court of Justice from reviewing or challenging Israel’s 13 Basic Laws (which have a quasi-constitutional status);
• Limiting the judiciary’s ability to review other laws and government decisions, including by allowing the Knesset to override Supreme Court rulings with a simple majority vote.
If they are all passed, these plans would mean the wholesale removal of checks and balances on the Israeli government’s actions.
The UN Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers has warned that the proposed judicial overhaul “would seriously undermine the independence of courts in Israel, including the Supreme Court”.
Have any of the proposals been approved yet?
On 24 July 2023, all 64 members of Israel’s ruling coalition voted for an amendment to Israel’s Basic Law: The Judiciary. This amendment abolished “reasonableness” as grounds for courts to challenge government decisions, and was the first part of the judicial overhaul package to be passed into law.
Previously, Israel’s administrative courts and the Supreme Court could review and strike down government decisions if they found them to be “unreasonable”. For example, in January 2023, the Supreme Court ruled that it was “unreasonable in the extreme” for Aryeh Deri, the chair of the Shas party, to be appointed as a cabinet minister, due to his past criminal convictions and the terms of his 2022 plea bargain.
The reasonableness amendment, which is just the first step in the government’s plan, has stripped Israel’s courts of a crucial tool for challenging arbitrary or discriminatory decisions, or decisions which involve a conflict of interest .
Whose rights does Israel’s judiciary protect?
Not everyone’s. It’s impossible to talk about Israel’s judiciary without highlighting its ongoing role in enforcing and maintaining apartheid against Palestinians. Over the years, the Supreme Court has issued numerous rulings which paved the way for the Israeli government and military to commit human rights violations against Palestinians.
The court has greenlighted the demolition of thousands of Palestinian homes, and approved the destruction of entire villages. In 2018, for example, it ruled that the village of Khan al-Ahmar in the occupied West Bank could be razed to make way for illegal settlements. In 2022, the court approved the demolition of nine villages in Masafer Yatta in the occupied West Bank and the forcible transfer of the 1,150 Palestinians who live there.
Israel’s Supreme Court has upheld countless administrative detention orders, under which Palestinians can be detained for months or years without charge or trial. It upheld Israel’s unlawful policy of withholding Palestinians’ bodies for use as bargaining chips, and a law which permits the force-feeding of prisoners on hunger strike. In 2021, the Supreme Court upheld the 2018 “nation state law”, which has become a pillar of Israel’s apartheid system. The nation state law constitutionally enshrines the oppression and domination of Palestinians – it defines Israel as the exclusive “nation state of the Jewish people”, and calls settlement expansion a “national value” which the Israeli state should promote.
The Supreme Court has upheld a law which imposes arbitrary, racially-motivated restrictions on Palestinian family unification. And just a few weeks ago, the court ruled that the Israeli military could punitively demolish the occupied East Jerusalem home of a child detainee, putting his entire family at risk of displacement.
The establishment of Israeli settlements in the OPT amounts to a war crime under the Fourth Geneva Convention and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Collective punishment, such as punitive demolition, also constitutes a war crime, as does the forcible transfer of civilians in occupied territory.
How does this link to apartheid?
Amnesty International’s research has shown that Israeli authorities systematically commit gross human rights violations, including war crimes and crimes against humanity, in order to maintain their system of oppression and domination against Palestinians. By ruling that violations can go ahead, Israel’s judiciary plays a key role in providing a veneer of legality to crimes under international law, and in upholding and strengthening the apartheid system.
What would the planned overhaul mean for Palestinians?
Appalling as the current situation is, the planned overhaul would likely make things even worse.
The Supreme Court has occasionally offered a modicum of protection for Palestinians, and for other minorities in Israel. For example, it has intervened in some instances to strike down the Israeli government’s attempts to ban Palestinian political parties from running for Israeli parliamentary elections. Judicial reviews have allowed Palestinians facing forcible eviction or forcible transfer to obtain temporary injunctions, and in a small number of cases the Supreme Court has ruled against the government’s attempts to violate Palestinian rights.
Instances of Israel’s Supreme Court intervening to protect the human rights of Palestinians have been few and far between, and the protections provided have tended to be partial. But if Israel’s judiciary loses its power to challenge the government, it is likely that even this slim and inconsistent margin of protection would evaporate.
Stripping Israel’s courts of their oversight powers would give Israeli authorities even greater licence to commit crimes under international law, with no trace of restraint.
Does Israel’s Supreme Court ever protect human rights?
The Supreme Court has been more consistent in defending the rights of Jewish Israelis, particularly those who are marginalized, as well as the rights of asylum seekers and migrants.
On some occasions, the Supreme Court has intervened to advance and protect the rights of LGBTI people. In 2006 for example, it ruled that same-sex couples who wed abroad should have their marriages recognized in Israel; and in 2022 it annulled parts of a law banning same-sex couples from having children through a surrogate.
The Supreme Court has also overturned some of Israel’s most dangerous policies impacting asylum seekers and migrants. In 2013, for example, it struck down a law which authorized Israeli authorities to detain anyone who entered the country irregularly for up to three years before deportation. The court has also played a role in protecting women’s rights in Israel, including by making the retirement age for men and women the same, and ruling that gender segregation on public transport is illegal.
Why is judicial independence important?
The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights – the bedrock of international human rights law – states that everyone is entitled to a fair trial “by an independent and impartial tribunal.” A number of subsequent international treaties, conventions, and guidelines have stressed the importance of judicial independence as a prerequisite for a fair justice system.
A government with the power to appoint judges based on political allegiance, or to overrule the rulings of the country’s highest court, is effectively unaccountable. It has free reign to consolidate its own power, rip up laws, and punish political opponents; and it can enact whichever arbitrary, cruel, or even nonsensical policy it likes.
In Israel, fears that the erosion of judicial oversight will lead to a backslide on human rights have been heightened by the anti-human rights agenda of the current government. This is displayed most starkly in the treatment of Palestinians.
Since December 2022, the Israeli government has escalated longstanding racist rhetoric and systematic violations against Palestinians. It has tabled a bill that introduces the death penalty for “terrorists,” – a word which the government almost exclusively uses to refer to Palestinians. It is advancing a proposal to create a “national guard” – a volunteer militia with powers to exercise force against civilians, and it is stepping up plans to annexe more of the occupied West Bank, in violation of international law.
Meanwhile, there have been several alarming proposals by ministers which threaten the rights of some of the most vulnerable groups in Israel. These include a bill to stop children under 14 from engaging in any lesson or even conversation about sexual orientation or gender identity, and a call to allow doctors to refuse to treat LGBTI people.
And earlier this year, a bill proposing to expand the powers of Israel’s all-male rabbinical courts, which have a history of discriminating against women, passed its first reading earlier this year.
What is Amnesty International calling for?
Israeli authorities must drop their plans for judicial overhaul. They must uphold the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly of all those protesting against the proposals.
It is also crucial that the legitimate concerns of protesters and political opponents do not sideline the suffering of Palestinians, nor detract from the urgent need to dismantle Israel’s apartheid system.
The protests in Israel have garnered huge international media attention, and many states have condemned the government’s plans. While this scrutiny is welcome and necessary, it is a stark contrast from the international community’s ongoing reluctance to condemn Israel’s apartheid system.
If the international community truly values the rule of law and justice, it must take action to hold the Israeli authorities accountable for their many violations and crimes against Palestinians. It should not accept the status quo, where Israel’s Supreme Court signs off on war crimes and human rights violations. Instead, the international community should be using this moment to pressure Israeli authorities to end, for example, the military’s relentless unlawful killing of Palestinian children and other civilians, landgrabs through settlement expansion, and the blockade of the Gaza Strip.
Israel should indeed reform its judiciary – but those reforms should be part of a comprehensive dismantling of the apartheid system and upholding international human rights standards for all.

The Coalition might have to increase its contentious bank levy to collect its revenue target of $6.2bn, say analysts warning of a multimillion-dollar shortfall on Tuesday.
Labor is calling on the Coalition to explain how large the revenue shortfall will be over four years, and to rule out raising the levy rate to make up the difference.
Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley analysts warned earlier on Tuesday that the revenue collected by the government’s bank levy could fall half a billion dollars short this year.
They said there was a risk the government would therefore try to raise the levy to meet its $6.2bn revenue target.
The political battle over the bank levy continued in question time on Tuesday, with Labor pressuring the government to explain the apparent problem with its calculations.
The government says its bank levy will collect $6.2bn in revenue over four years, applied to the Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, NAB, ANZ, and Macquarie.
But the big four cast doubt on that figure on Monday. Westpac told its shareholders the levy would cost the bank roughly $260m after tax over the next 12 months, and the Commonwealth Bank ($220m), NAB ($245m) and ANZ ($240m) provided their own estimates. It brought the collective cost of the levy to $965m over the next year.
It prompted banking analysts to warn it wouldn’t be enough to meet the government’s $2.6bn revenue target.
Deutsche Bank analysts Andrew Triggs and Anthony Hoo warned clients the government may want to lift the rate of the bank levy to make up the shortfall.
“The aggregate amount to be collected by the government is likely to fall short of the $6.2bn targeted in the budget over the four-year period, hence we see a risk that the 0.06% levy could be lifted,” they said.
Their view was echoed by Morgan Stanley, which wrote: “The banks’ disclosures seem to confirm our view that a levy of 0.06% would not raise enough to meet the government revenue-raising objective of at least $1.5bn a year. We therefore think the rate could be adjusted accordingly.”
The shadow treasurer, Chris Bowen, jumped on the analysts’ warnings, saying the government had questions to answer.
“Depending on where the smaller Macquarie Bank lands, the revenue gap could be more than $100m for 2017-18 alone,” he said on Tuesday. “This is occurring just two weeks after the budget and the announcement of the government’s bank tax rate and liability base.
“Scott Morrison needs to come clean on what the revenue shortfall will be over the forward estimates and [should rule] out any further changes to the bank tax rate or liability base to attempt to make up the revenue shortfall.”
Morrison had told Bowen in question time there was nothing wrong with the budget’s numbers.
“The attempt that the shadow treasurer’s trying to engage in here is to try and throw up dust,” he said. “The assumptions behind the numbers hold and the measures that have been presented in the budget are as I have outlined in my budget speech and are as presented in the budget documents. They are very clear.”

Indian P-8I kicks off flight trials ahead of 2013 delivery
The first Boeing P-8I Neptune maritime multimission aircraft for the Indian Navy (IN) has begun its flight test programme ahead of its 2013 delivery date, company officials announced at the Farnborough Airshow on 11 July.
This maiden test flight, from Boeing Field in Seattle on 7 July, lasted about 50 minutes and took place over a US Navy (USN) test range in Washington State.
According to Boeing, all the test points were successfully completed.
Although based on the P-8A Poseidon that is being developed for the USN, the P-8I differs slightly in that it will be equipped with an aft-facing radar (to operate independently of the forward-facing Raytheon AN/APY-10 surface search sensor), providing full-hemisphere coverage and an aerial target-tracking capability. A magnetic anomaly detection system will also be fitted.
The P-8I will be compatible with the use of depth charges, the AGM-84H SLAM-ER stand-off cruise missile and will be capable of dropping naval mines. India has requested the sale of the Boeing AGM-84L Harpoon II anti-ship missile and the Raytheon Mk 54 lightweight torpedoes for its P-8Is. It is unclear whether the latter would be supplied with the company's Fish Hawk wing-kit to increase their launch envelope and range.
India has ordered eight P-8I aircraft with options on four more. Handover of the first to the IN is on track for 2013, Boeing said, with the rest by the end of 2015. According to senior IN officials, all eight will be deployed to the Eastern Naval Command.
Based on the Boeing 737 commercial airliner, the P-8A/I has a crew of nine (including five mission system operators) and an operating range of more than 2,000 km with a four-hour on-station endurance.

Advocates for the measure -- which includes the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles -- say if it becomes law, it would resolve outstanding Holocaust-era insurance claims.
Opponents of the bill -- the Alliance of American Insurers -- disagree. They maintain that the existing law already takes care of the policyholders -- Holocaust survivors or their descendants. If Davis signs AB 600 into law, they claim, it will place an undue burden on insurance companies doing business in California.
Last year, then-Gov. Pete Wilson vetoed a similar measure, but, using similar arguments, instead signed into law a bill that authorized the California Department of Insurance to investigate and recover unpaid Holocaust claims. Insurance companies are a flush source of campaign contributions in the state, contributing to both parties.
According to bill author Assemblyman Wally Knox, D-Los Angeles, AB 600 would "force insurance companies to disclose policyholders from the Holocaust era," enabling those survivors who have a claim but no paperwork to start collecting against the old policy.
Once signed into law, insurance companies would be required within six months to disclose information to the California Department of Insurance. If they fail to do so, "then the state Department of Insurance would take away their authority to operate in the state," says Knox.
As of Tuesday, Terri Smooke, Davis' representative to the Jewish community, says she has received no word on whether Davis will sign the bill.
"I have absolutely no knowledge at this time, and as you, I'm very hopeful," she said.
Davis has until midnight, Oct. 10, to sign the bill or veto it.
Arthur Stern, a Holocaust survivor, says the new bill provides a chance for Davis to show his "true colors." Stern, who also heads up the Federation committee that oversees Holocaust-era insurance policies, says current law allows people to make claims against insurance companies such as Italy's Assicurazioni Generali, but it still requires them to prove their claims or submit death certificates.
The problem is that only 3 percent to 5 percent of those entitled to money have the appropriate documents, says Stern. Most of the policyholders lost their papers or, in some cases, had them destroyed when they were rounded up by the Nazis. Nor do many of the descendants of those killed have death certificates; they were not issued in many death camps.
"The interests of the vast majority of the survivors and heirs are to have the names and addresses of the bearers published," says Stern. "You can see from the insurance companies that this is the last thing they want to do. Why? Because it would reveal their fundamental dishonesty that they've sustained for 50 years."
Stern himself has a case pending against insurance companies for a Holocaust-era policy, but he says if he recovers money, he will donate it to charity. For him, the issue is not money; it's justice.
"I feel that the behavior of the insurance companies within the norms of our civilization is simply incredible," he says. "Most of us abide by the rule that you don't steal, at least not publicly, but the insurance companies have stolen publicly."
Generali had brokered a deal in September 1998, whereby it would settle the claims of policyholders now covered under existing law, but it backed out when negotiators refused to have policyholders relinquish any future claims.
To Stern, that's a deal that won't help the majority of the survivors or their descendants.
"The insurance companies would like to make a global settlement," he says. "The settlement would be several million dollars, but who would get the money? Those people who have the policies and sponsoring organizations."


The chief of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Arizona is refusing to testify before Congress regarding Operation Fast and Furious, the federal gun-running scandal that sent U.S. weapons to Mexico.

The Ministry of Justice wants to get access to correspondence. For this purpose it is necessary to remake the server that will seriously affect safety of a messenger, experts say. Whether the world's largest social network will go to it? Photo: Regis Duvignau/Reuters the American authorities want to get access to correspondence to Facebook Messenger. The Ministry of Justice of the USA tries to force Mark Zuckerberg's company to change an enciphering algorithm in the application that intelligence agencies could listen to voice messages of persons involved in criminal cases, Reuters with reference to unnamed sources reports. The similar precedent already was, interlocutors of the agency have explained, having added that Facebook challenges requirements of Ministry of Justice in court. Case is behind closed doors considered in California. One of sources of Reuters has told that it is about investigation concerning gang of MS-13 — one of the most numerous street gangs of America operating not only in the USA, but also in Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala. Whether the American authorities of access to messages of a messenger of the world's largest social network will achieve? Anton Fishman the director of the design direction of the Group-IB company "At Zuckerberg isn't present these keys now to provide, as well as wasn't in due time at Durov when Roskomnadzor has requested them from him. Transfer of keys for interpretation is a same situation because the technology doesn't mean them. He should remake completely the server, reducing its safety, and only then it will become possible. Whether Zuckerberg can rest? Considering that Facebook is after all system American and, as far as I understand, the main owner after all within jurisdiction of the USA is registered, most likely, Zuckerberg on it won't go, for refusal because he has already gone for assistance in the plan of WhatsApp. And the same situation — to remove this enciphering "the sender — the recipient" and to give the chance to read messages, he has gone to this here, it is one group of companies, and with Facebook there will be, most likely, the same, he will just go to it". Other experts also agree that Facebook, most likely, will open access to information of users. They remind that the social network has been mixed in Rashageyte, and Tsukeberg even had to give evidences in the congress. So hardly he will persist, unlike the management of Apple which has defiantly refused to open access to the terrorist's iPhone. However, then intelligence agencies of the USA have cracked phone and without the assistance of the producer. If Facebook begins to cooperate with the American intelligence agencies whether outflow of users waits for a social network? The information security expert and technologies Maxim Emm: — For the vast majority speaks, 99% of users of Facebook who represent respectable, law-abiding citizens whom enciphering not really disturbs or concerns, probably, it won't be for them any factor for the sake of which they will leave Facebook in some other network. Once again around it neither Facebook, nor Ministry of Justice American therefore I think that ти will want to lift a sensation, most likely

11. YOLO Generation Promotes Guns & Rape - Spring Breakers
In April 2013 a film came out designed to cause controversy and revel in the public's outrage. Written and directed by Harmony Korine, the dull and rambling 'Spring Breakers' was mediocre at best and was defended only by teenage boys who liked that Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine spent most of the film not wearing very much and suggestively playing with guns. Aside from general parental grumblings, much of the outrage came from anti-gun organisations who disliked the glorification of firearms and women's rights groups that accused the film of promoting rape culture and putting the emphasis on its female characters being overly sexualised and 'asking for it.' Director Korine claims the film is an arty, social commentary but knows that the parent's outrage would be enough to promote the film to the youth audience who want to see the tale of teens going bad, extreme violence, drugs and sex.

Basic knowledge of foreign exchange
Forex is the abbreviation of foreign exchange; The act of exchanging one currency for another for a variety of reasons (usually trade, business, or travel). The purpose of foreign exchange traders is to make profits from the fluctuation of exchange rate. They study the political and economic environment and predict the future trend of the market.
The place where foreign exchange trading take place is what we call the forex market. The foreign exchange market is an international market. Trading in the market is completed by electronic over-the-counter (OTC) through the computer network of global traders rather than a centralized exchange.
1. The daily trading volume of forex market exceeds 8 trillion US dollars. No commodity market, futures market or stock exchange can compare with foreign exchange.
2. Foreign exchange trading opens 24 hours a day, opening on Mondays and closing on Fridays. The foreign exchange market allows market makers, banks, brokerage companies (such as CWG), independent brokers, investors and traders to buy and sell foreign exchange.
3. Foreign exchange quotation (price) is always changing, which will be influence by trading activities, economic and other indicators, interest, bank policies, specific time of day and traders' personal preferences and expectations.
4. Customers' trading will be executed on some easy-to-use trading platforms, such as MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader
5. With the help of these platforms, every trader can obtain real-time quotations from market participants such as banks and market makers.
CWG markets is a broker that provides high-quality trading services to customers all over the world. It provides customers with a convenient platform for trading, and at the same time provides extremely low spread. Low spread is always beneficial to customers.
The forex market is a decentralized international market. It is open five days a week and operates all day without geographical restrictions.
A currency pair can be defined as a combination of the currencies of two countries used to trade in the foreign exchange market. Currency pairs include URUSD、GBPJPY and NZDCAD
A currency pair without US dollar is a cross currency pair.
In a currency pair, the first currency is called "base currency", and the second currency is called "quotation currency".
The selling price is the price at which the broker buys the first currency (base currency) from the client. In other words, the selling price refers to the price at which the customer sells the first currency (base currency) in the currency pair.
The buying price is the price at which the broker sells the first currency (base currency) in the currency pair to the customer. In other words, the buying price refers to the price at which the customer buys the first currency (base currency) in the currency pair.
To open a position at the buying price and close a position at the selling price.
The selling order is opened at the selling price and closed at the buying price.
Spread is the price difference between the buying price and the selling price of a certain trading variety, and it is also the main source of profit for market makers and brokers. The spread value is expressed as standard point. All accounts of CWG Markets provide floating spread.
The number of lots is the standard unit of trading. In general, a base currency with a standard lot equal to 100,000 units.
The contract unit is a fixed value representing the first-hand base currency. For most foreign exchange instruments, the contract unit is fixed at 100,000.
A standard point refers to the change of the fifth digit price after the decimal point, while the base point refers to the change of the fourth digit price after the decimal point.
In other word, 1 base point = 10 standard point.
For example, if the price is assumed to change from 1.11115 to 1.11135, the price will change to 2 basis points or 20 standard points.
The point unit is a fixed number indicating the position of the base point in the price of the trade variety.
For example, for most currency pair like EURUSD, the price is mostly in the form of 1.11115, with the base point at the fourth place after the decimal point, so the point unit is 0.0001.
Point value is the amount of money someone will earn or lose when the price changes by a base point. The calculation formula is as follows:
Point value = number of lots x contract unit X point unit.
Leverage is the ratio of net worth to borrowing capital. It has a direct impact on the margin required for trading varieties. Margin refers to the funds in account currency held by the broker to maintain the order position.
The higher the leverage, the lower the margin.
The balance represents the total financial result of the closing trading and the deposit and withdrawal operations on all accounts.
The net value is either the amount before you open any order or the amount after you close all orders.
In the case of open orders, the account balance will not change.
After placing an order, the net value can be obtained by combining the balance with the loss / profit of the order.
Net value = balance + / - profit / loss
I believe you also know that after placing an order, part of the fund needs to be used as a deposit. The remaining funds are called available margin.
Net value = margin + available margin
Profit and loss can be obtained by calculating the difference between the opening and closing prices of the order.
Profit / loss = difference between opening and closing prices (based on base point) x point value
Buying orders to get profit when price rises; When prices fall, the sales order will make profits.
Loss on buying order when price falls; When the price rises, the sales order loses.
Margin ratio is the ratio of net worth to margin, expressed in%.
Margin ratio = (net value / margin) x 100%
Margin call notice is a notice sent on the trading terminal, which means that you need to deposit or close several positions in order to avoid stop out. When the margin ratio falls to the level of margin call level set by the broker for the corresponding account, the trading terminal will issue the notice.
When the margin ratio falls to the stop out level set by the broker for the corresponding account, the trading platform will automatically close the position, which is called stop out.
Contracts for Differences ("CFDs") products were developed to allow customers to enjoy all the benefits of holding a Stock, Index, ETF, Forex, Option or Commodity position without having to physically own the underlying instrument. A customer enters into a CFD at a quoted price, the difference between that price and the price of the CFD when the position is closed is settled in cash, hence the term "Contract for Difference" or CFD

I used a new die I just got this clip art image of Cinderella and the Prince...she might be my favorite Disney princess just for nostalgia reasons. I had her book and little long-playing record to listen to when I was little. The "sky" is a die cut and I made the colorful background with Tombow brush markers scribbled on a plastic sheet and spritzed with water. I then dragged the die cut through the paint. I had to be a little careful with the colors so they didn't make a muddy mess in some spots but this ended up okay. To avoid muting your colors, you can use only similar colors and not opposites. Green and Red, Purple and Yellow and Orange and Blue should be avoided combos.

Moldova Launches New Anti-Corruption Body, Says Old Ones are Slow
Moldovan President Maia Sandu launched this week a new corruption monitoring body, arguing that the current anti-corruption institutions move “much slower than the corrupt groups which are stealing from this country.”
according to Moldpres – the country’s state-run news agency.Sandu signed off on the new "Anticorruption Independent Consultative Committee" on Monday and the taskforce began work on Tuesday,
The new panel includes American diplomat James Wasserstrom, and other anti-corruption experts, economists, and journalists.
Alina Radu, a Moldovan journalist who reports on nepotism and corruption in the country, is on the committee, as well Tamara Razin, an economist with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Drago Kos, an anti-bribery expert, human rights lawyer Nadejda Hriptievschi, and anti-corruption expert Laura Stefan.
The committee is partially funded by the E.U. and the U.S., and will investigate corruption in the country's financial and banking sectors. The committee will also examine corruption issues within the state's own anti-corruption institutions.
"We want to learn why the Moldovan corruption-combating institutions are not efficient in fulfilling their duty," said Wasserstrom, an anti-corruption officer at the U.S. embassy in Afghanistan, according to Euronews.
In a statement at the launch event, the president said that "the good thing is that the citizens of the Republic of Moldova are not alone in the face of this major challenge. Thieves from the Republic of Moldova managed to make themselves known internationally. The frauds they committed have come to be known by the whole world.”
She added that Moldova’s development partners understand the seriousness of corruption in Moldova and that they are ready to help.
The move came after the European Commission said last week that it will mobilise up to 600 million euros (US$731 million) in assistance to Moldova over the next three years to support post-coronavirus economic recovery and anti-corruption reforms.
Moldova ranks 115th out of the 180 countries in Transparency International’s 2020 Corruption Perception Index.

What the world needs now is love sweet love — big, confusing, pansexual piles of it with critical acclaim and low ratings. Unfortunately, the world doesn’t always get what it needs (nor, mercifully, what it deserves) and thus, Friday brings us the final episode of Netflix’s beloved, beleaguered, psychosexual sci-fi series “Sense8.”
The show, created by Lana and Lilly Wachowski (the duo behind the “Matrix” franchise as well as “Cloud Atlas”) and J. Michael Straczynski (“Thor,” “Babylon 5”) follows the converging paths of eight strangers who would be completely disconnected from each other were it not for their strange kinship. As “sensates” (a.k.a. Homo sensorium), they can feel each other’s emotions, think each other’s thoughts, speak each other’s languages, and exchange each other’s knowledge (and . . . other stuff).
The cross-cultural, globe-hugging, polysexual vibe of “Sense8” — not to mention the sci-fi pedigree of its creators — made it a fast favorite among a swiftly devoted cult audience.
And outside of its expansive, expensive story line — each episode ran up an estimated bill of $9 million, or $108 million a season — “Sense8” represented another example of the more inclusive forefront of the then-sparkly-new streaming landscape, which ushered trans characters and creators into the mainstream via series like Amazon’s “Transparent” and Netflix’s “Orange Is the New Black.” The Wachowski siblings are both transgender women, as is series star Jamie Clayton. “Sense8” is, as author Sam Miller once put it to “Wired,” “super, super queer . . . in terms of narrative, in terms of the dialogue — this is coming from a really queer place.”
And as with most things that come from a super queer place, those very qualities that made it so special are the same things that got it pushed aside. As Netflix’s chief content officer, Ted Sarandos, told reporters when the series was canceled in 2017, “A big, expensive show for a tiny audience is hard even in our model to make that work very long.”
In the feature-length grand finale that goes live on Friday, “the cluster, their sidekicks, and some unexpected allies band together for a rescue mission.” If only “Sense8” could have saved itself.Michael Andor Brodeur can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.org.
