Jewish American Heritage Month

May is Jewish American Heritage Month, there's no way I can make a post to highlight ALL the ways Jewish Americans have contributed to American life, culture, politics and History but here are a few

The Touro Synagogue in Newport Rhode Island is the oldest Synagogue in the United States, built in 1763 for a congregation that dates back to 1658 when 15 Sephardic families moved to America. Touro is also famous for a letter sent to them by President George Washington in 1790 where he assured them of freedom of religion in the new United States:

... the Government of the United States ... gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance. ... May the children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid. May the father of all mercies scatter light and not darkness in our paths, and make us all in our several vocations useful here, and in his own due time and way everlastingly happy.

- Letter of George Washington to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island

Emma Goldman (1869-1940) Born in what is today Lithuania Goldman immigrated to the United States at the age of 16. She would become in the 1890s one of the leading voices of the anarchist movement and remains one of Anarchisms most important thinkers. Goldman also spoke out and was arrested for supporting birth control at a time when it was illegal. She supported Free Love and even gay rights before the dawn of the 20th Century making her the only major figure of her time to speak out in favor of homosexual love.

Irving Berlin (1888-1989) Born in what is today central Russia, the Berlin family immigrated to America when Irving was 5 years old. Starting with 1911's "Alexander's Ragtime Band" Berlin would go on to write upwards of 1,500 songs over his 60 year music career. He wrote the scores for 20 Broadway shows, 15 Hollywood movies, was nominated for 8 Oscars and had 25 number one songs on the charts. His most famous songs include, Puttin' on the Ritz, Cheek to Cheek, White Christmas, Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better), and There's No Business Like Show Business. Fellow Jewish composer George Gershwin (1898-1937) declared Berlin "the greatest songwriter that has ever lived"

Louis Brandeis (1856-1941) A towering legal mind Brandeis would in the early 1900s earn the nickname "The People's Lawyer" for refusing payment in cases for "the public interest" Brandeis fought many antitrust cases in court and fought businesses in court in support of early work place safety laws. Brandeis was also the first to articulate the idea of a Right to Privacy in 1890. Brandeis idea would become the basis of rulings supporting the right to birth control, abortion, and gay rights. Nominated to the Supreme Court in 1916 Brandeis was the first Jewish Justice and was vehemently opposed by antisemites. Fellow Justice James Clark McReynolds refused to speak to Brandeis for years, never signed his name to opinions written by Brandeis, and would often openly start reading a news paper when Brandeis read his opinions from the bench. McReynolds, along with Justices Pierce Butler and Willis Van Devanter sent a letter to President Hoover begging him to not "afflict the Court with another Jew" when he appointed the second Jewish Justice, Benjamin Cardozo, in 1932. Brandeis served 23 years on the Court from 1916 till 1939 and is regularly counted as one of the greatest Justices to ever serve championing Free Speech and progressive policies often from opposition to the Conservative majority of the time.

Stan Lee (1922-2018) and Jack Kirby (1917-1994) Born Stanley Lieber and Jacob Kurtzberg respectively, Lee and Kirby were among countless Jews who adopted less Jewish sounding names in hopes of escaping discrimination. Lee and Kirby along with countless other Jewish artists and writers formed the backbone of the Golden and Sliver ages of comics. Characters such as Batman and Superman had Jewish creators. Kirby and Lee themselves are responsible for such cultural icons as Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Black Panther, Daredevil, and The X-Men. The preponderance of Jews in the early comics was a result of persistent discrimination against Jews. High class advertising agencies didn't want Jewish artists drawing their ads and literary magazines like The New Yorker weren't interested in Jewish staff writers. So young Jewish artists and writers found themselves in the "less respectable" world of pulp and penny comics where they made a huge cultural impact though many, like Kirby, would fight for years to get the money they deserved and many never did.

Elizabeth Taylor (1932-2011) Kirk Douglas (1916-2020) Douglas was born "Issur Danielovitch" but changed his overly Jewish sounding name to make it in the Hollywood of the 1940s and 50s. regarded as one of the greats of classic Hollywood Douglas would be nominated for Oscar for Best Actor 3 times, for Champion (1949), The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) and Lust for Life (1956). He is most well known for his work with Jewish filmmaker Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999) who's first two major films Paths of Glory (1957) and Spartacus (1960) starred Douglas who was also a producer, they are still thought of as some of the best films ever made. Kirk Douglas is also the father of actor Michael Douglas(1944-) Elizabeth Taylor was an iconic star of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Best known for Cleopatra (1961), Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) and The Taming of the Shrew (1967). Taylor converted to Judaism in 1959. An iconic beauty, Taylor was married 8 times to 7 different men (she divorced and remarried and divorced again many time co-star Richard Burton) including to the heir of the Hilton fortune and a US Senator. In the 1980s she would become one of the leading celebrities speaking out and raising money to fight AIDS at a time when fellow Hollywood Star, President Reagan, refused to even say the word in public.

Sammy Davis Jr. (1925-1990) A singer, dancer, performer and actor Davis was one of the most popular acts of the 1950s and 60s. Well known for performing with Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra in what was known as the Rat Pack. Davis would star along side Martin and Sinatra in Ocean's 11 (1960) as well as other Rat Pack films. In the 1980s he toured with Sinatra and Liza Minnelli. Davis was politically active and influential using his fame to push Presidents Kennedy and Nixon on civil rights. Davis' cross over popularity and being booked to co-star with white acts helped break down the color barrier and push integration. After a nearly fatal car accident in which Davis lost his left eye (he wore a glass eye for the rest of his life) in 1954 he began his path to conversion formally converting to Judaism in 1961.

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907-1972) with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rabbi Joachim Prinz (1902-1988) with King. Both Heschel and Prinz were Rabbis in Europe before WWII, Prinz in particular had served as a Rabbi in Berlin in the 1930s and was expelled from Germany by the Nazis in 1937 for embarrassing them internationally. Both men settled in the United States after leaving Europe and would become leading lights of American Jewish community. Prinz would serve as the President of the American Jewish Congress from 1958 till 1966, he would help create the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in 1956 and be its President from 1965 till 1967. Heschel wrote a number of highly influential books such as Man Is Not Alone, God in Search of Man, The Sabbath, and The Prophets which are still widely read today. Both men felt called on by their experiences with the Nazis to become involved in the 1960s Civil Rights movement. Heschel was close personal friends with Dr. King and marched with him many times, most famously the 3rd Selma to Montgomery march between Dr King and John Lewis who'd been beaten badly at an earlier march. Prinz served as one of the organizing forces behind the 1963 March on Washington and Prinz gave the speech directly before Dr. King's famous "I Have a Dream" Speech. Heschel acted as a Jewish representative at the Catholic Church's Second Vatican Council where he was able to get the Church to drop centuries old antisemitic lines blaming the Jews for the death of Jesus from the liturgy.

Andrew Goodman (1943-1964), James Chaney (1943-1964), and Michael Schwerner (1939-1964) In the summer of 1964 The Congress for Racial Equality (CORE) launched a massive effort to register disenfranchised black voters in Mississippi to vote, they called the effort Freedom Summer. Goodman and Schwerner both natives of New York were among the hundreds of CORE volunteers from the North who came south to help local activists like Mississippi native Chaney with the registration drive. Many of the white northern volunteers, like Goodman and Schwerner were Jewish, Jews had also been heavily represented among the white Freedom Riders of 1961. On June 21, 1964 Goodman, Schwerner, and Chaney were pulled over together by a Deputy Sheriff before being set upon by a conspiracy of local KKK members. The 3 were murdered, and their bodies hidden in an earthen dam, there is some evidence that Goodman was still alive when he was buried. Their disappearance set off a massive FBI lead search known as Mississippi Burning. Public outrage particularly fueled by the image of the 3 men's crying mother's arm in arm at Chaney's funeral would help push through the Civil Rights act of 1964.

Bob Dylan (1941-) Born Robert Zimmerman Dylan lead the American Folk revival of the early 1960s. His songs Blowin' in the Wind (1963) and The Times They Are a-Changin' (1964) became anthems of both the Civil Rights and Anti-War movements of the 1960s. His 1965 transition from Folk to Electric pushed Dylan to the forefront of late 1960s Rock and Roll. Dylan is often ranked as one of the most iconic artists of the 1960s ranked up along side the Beatles. His musical influence is massive and still felt today. In 2016 Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition"

Mel Brooks (1926-) and Gene Wilder (1933-2016) born Melvin Kaminsky and Jerome Silberman respectively. Brooks is a comedic legend, writing and directing for film and stage. Brooks is one of only 18 people to complete the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony Awards). Brooks collaborated with Wilder on a number of his most famous works, The Producers (1967), Blazing Saddles (1974), and Young Frankenstein (1974). Other works include History of the World, Part I (1981), Spaceballs (1987), and Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993). Just this year at the age of 96 Brooks wrote and produced History of the World, Part II a TV series sequel to his 1981 film. Wilder worked closely with Brooks as well as with Richard Pryor. He had a star turn in Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask) (1972). Wilder is best known for his iconic role of Willy Wonka in 1971's Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.

Gloria Steinem (1934-), Bella Abzug (1920-1998), Betty Friedan (1921-2006) with Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm (middle seated). Friedan's 1963 book The Feminine Mystique is widely understood as the spark that started Second Wave Feminism or "Women's liberation". In 1966 Friedan helped start and would be the first President of, National Organization for Women (NOW). NOW remains a major feminist and progressive political organization. Friedan left NOW in 1970 to focus on the fight to pass an equal rights amendment to the US constitution (ERA). Together with Steinem and Abzug Friedan formed the National Women's Political Caucus in 1971. She also helped found the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws, known to say simply as "NARAL". Bella Abzug known as "Battling Bella" for her fire breathing progressivism was first elected to the US House in 1970. Her slogan was "This woman's place is in the House—the House of Representatives" a slogan that has been reused by many women candidates since. Abzug was an early pioneer of ecofeminism. She also was a leading figure in the movement to impeach Nixon. Abzug would be one of the first supporters of gay rights in Congress sponsoring the first federal gay rights bill in 1974. Steinem was an influential counter-culture journalist and speaker. Her feminist magazine Ms. served as a voice piece for the Feminist movement of the late 1960s and 1970s. Her connections to the counter culture and her youth caused Steinem to often times act as a bridge between the younger 1960s generation and older activists like Friedan. Steinem remains active in politics and feminism today in her 80s.

Barbra Streisand (1942-) an EGOT winning actress and singer. Streisand first came to national attention with chart topping hits in the 1960s. Across her career Streisand has had 11 number 1 records the most for a woman on the US charts. In the late 1960s Streisand transitioned to film, winning the Oscar for Best Actress for her first role, 1968's Funny Girl. She followed up with Hello, Dolly! (1969), What's Up Doc? (1972), and The Way We Were (1973) before winning her second Oscar this time for Best Original Song for A Star Is Born (1976) the first time a woman won composing Oscar. Streisand's first try at directing was the Jewish classic Yentl (1983) the first time a woman had written, produced, directed, and starred in a major studio film. She became the first and till 2020 only woman to win the Golden Globe for Best director for Yentl. Streisand has always been politically active from the Civil Rights and anti-War movements of the 1960s, feminism in the 1970s, and LGBT rights in the 2000s as well as being active in Democratic politics going back to the 1972 election.

Harvey Milk (1930-1978) The first openly Gay man elected to public office in the United States. Originally from New York Milk moved to San Francisco in the early 1970s and settled in nascent gay neighborhood of The Castro. Milk's small business, Castro Camera soon become a hub of the community. Milk organized gay owned businesses and the local gay community to boycott homophobic businesses and support gay owned ones. He soon earned the nickname "Mayor of Castro Street" for his organizing and leadership of the gay community. He launched his first campaign for office, an election for San Francisco Board of Supervisors, in 1973. Despite being openly gay and sporting classic hippy long hair and a bread Milk swept the Castro and other liberal areas, however he fell short citywide. Milk would run again in 1975, and for State Assembly in 1976 getting closer each time till 1977 when San Francisco introduced districts and Milk won the Castro based District seat. Milk's election made him a national figure and the face for Gay Rights across the country. His brief time in office was consumed by the fight against the Briggs Initiative, a ballot initiative that would have automatically fired any gay teacher or teacher who supported gay rights in California. The Briggs Initiative failed, marking the first time gay rights had won at the ballot box. Harvey Milk and his ally Mayor George Moscone were assassinated on November 27, 1978 by disgruntled former Supervisor Dan White. The Police investigation of White, a former cop, was deeply failed and a straight jury sentenced him to just 5 years for the double murder. In the aftermath of the sentencing the gay community rioted in what is known as The White Night Riots. The gay political movement Milk built in San Francisco remains today with the LGBT community having a powerful voice in local politics.

Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902-1994) Born in what is today Ukraine he fled Europe in 1941. In 1951 Schneerson succeed his Father-in-law as the 7th Rebbe of the Chabad-Lubavitch Movement. While all Hassidic movements have Rebbes, Schneerson would become such a towering figure both in Jewish life and outside it to this day nearly 30 years after his death he is still "The Rebbe". During his long reign as the Rebbe Schneerson transformed the Chabad movement into a global Jewish outreach organization. In many parts of the world Chabad houses operate as the sole outpost of Jewish life. It is not uncommon in heavily Jewish areas or events to find Chabadiks asking men if they're Jewish and have wrapped tefillin today. The Rebbe and his movement would be at the center of the 1980s struggle to liberate Soviet Jewry as well as efforts to evacuate Jewish youth from Iran in 1979. The Rebbe started a global Chanukah outreach campaign, trying to assure that individual Jews have their own menorah and candles as well as pushing for public lightings of display menorahs, if your city lights one it's likely a Chabad project. During his life time many of his followers came to believe that he was the awaited Jewish Messiah. After his death the Chabad movement has not elected another Rebbe to replace him and likely never will. His grave in Queens is a major pilgrimage sight not only for Hassidic Jews but seekers of all kinds, Jewish and not. Ever since 1978 Schneerson's birth has been marked in the US by an act of Congress and Presidential decree by every President since Carter as "Education Day" focusing on his life long work for education and learning.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933-2020) The Second woman to serve on the United States Supreme Court. Ginsburg entered law in the 1950s at a time when very few women did, her Harvard Law Class had 500 men and just 9 women. She graduated first from Columbia. She was denied a Supreme Court Clerkship because of her gender. In 1972 Ginsburg organized and became the head of the Women's Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union. By 1974 the Project had been involved with 300 gender discrimination cases. As general counsel of the project Ginsburg would argue 6 gender discrimination cases before the Supreme Court between 1973 and 1976, winning 5. She was often compared to Thurgood Marshall in her role fighting for women's rights in Court. She would keep working with the ACLU till 1980 when she was appointed to the US Court of Appeals, Second Circuit by President Carter. She was appointed to the Supreme Court by President Clinton in 1993, as only the second women and the first Jewish woman to serve, she is the longest serving Jewish Justice. Ginsburg was allied with the liberal wing of the Court through out her time on the bench. After Justice O'Connor retired and Ginsburg found herself in the unexpected position as the only woman on the court from 2006 till Justice Sotomayor joined in 2009 she became more outspoken. Ginsburg would become known for her powerful dissents often read from the bench. After Justice Stevens retired in 2010 Ginsburg became the de facto head of the liberal wing of the Court and soon reached cultural icon status with the wider American public.

-----------------

These are just a few of the hugely important Jewish Americans who have impacted and shaped every part of American life and the list if not random is just who I thought of, there were many others I thought about but decided I didn't have room for. Have a good Jewish American Heritage Month this May and learn some Jewish History

Esta compilación de textos es por gusto individual. Las elecciones son, más o menos, las lecturas que me han influenciado en mi posición como anarquista durante mi vida. Si bien, no todos los textos son acerca de ideas o experiencias ácratas, han sido cercanos sus planteamientos revolucionarios a las teorías y prácticas contra el mundo de la autoridad. Por otro lado, seguro hay otros que se me han quedado en el tintero que son más fundamentales, y otras que desconozco, pero insisto: es mero gusto individual.

Debido a que me han preguntado sobre libros introductorios al anarquismo y la lucha revolucionaria antiautoritaria, he decidido compilar textos muy diversos, de distintas tendencias y formas, que pueden servir para un acercamiento general acerca de la posición por la anarquía. Están en orden alfabético por el título del libro, hay un link de descarga al costado del nombre, y una reseña de cada uno.

Los que no tengo completos son: “Jacob. Recuerdos de un rebelde” de Bernard Thomas; y “La historia de la Angry Brigade. Nos estamos acercando” de Fernando Rocha. Si alguien los tiene por favor contactarse a: [email protected]

Las reseñas fueron extraídas de distintas páginas de internet. Decidí no mostrar las fuentes porque no lo consideré importante para el objetivo de la iniciativa.

¡Apoyen con la difusión!

¡Viva la anarquía!

The sight of Tevye the milkman shaking his upper torso and stomping out his yearning, melodic, future subjunctive – “If I were a rich man, yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum / All day long I’d biddy biddy bum / If I were a wealthy man … ” – is one of the most indelible in all stage and film history. It is for ever associated with the irrepressible Israeli actor Chaim Topol, who has died aged 87. He played Tevye in the 1967 London premiere of Fiddler on the Roof and in the 1971 Norman Jewison film version. Topol won a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination in the role, attending the Oscar ceremony on leave from the Israeli army.

The musical had been premiered on Broadway in 1964, with Zero Mostel as Tevye. The book of Fiddler was adapted by Joseph Stein from the stories of Sholem Aleichem, the insinuating songs written by Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock. A fount of Yiddish philosophy (“If you spit in the air, it lands in your face”), Tevye spoke directly to God in the Ukrainian village of Anatevka in 1905 – where, said the theatre critic Milton Shulman, the chief manufacturing goods were schmaltz and lumps in the throat – and came to represent the resilience of the Jewish people down the ages.

Topol (his name means “tree of life”), with his rich bass voice and instant rapport with the audience, was the icing on the strudel. He always deferred to Mostel’s genius as Tevye, and was surprised to be cast in the film. But he brought a passion and warmth to his signature role – which he played on stage in more than 3,500 performances, he estimated – that had possibly eluded the more clownish and hard-edged Mostel.

Topol returned to London in the role in 1983, and toured extensively in the US in the late 1980s, when Rosalind Harris, who played the eldest of his five daughters in the film, played his wife. He faced Broadway at last in 1990. When he played Tevye again at the London Palladium in 1994, he was still only 58. By then, the production and performance – enshrined by contract in Boris Aronson’s Chagall-inspired designs and Jerome Robbins’s brilliant but increasingly overfamiliar choreography – showed signs of creakiness. But Irving Wardle once again hailed Topol’s Tevye as “a living memorial to the comic genius of a tragic people”.

This version toured in Europe, Japan and Australia. Ten years later, Topol and Fiddler returned to Australia, as well as New Zealand, and a farewell American tour soon followed. He played Tevye for the last time in Boston, Massachusetts, on 15 November 2009.

His background had validated the performance. Born in Tel Aviv, Topol was the son of parents who had fled Poland in the 1930s – Jacob, a plasterer who had fought in the Haganah against the British in the war of independence, and Rel (nee Goldman), a seamstress. Like many Israelis of his generation, Topol served in the army in the Sinai campaign, in the six-day war in 1967 (he left the cast of Fiddler at Her Majesty’s theatre, London, for that campaign) and in the Yom Kippur war of 1973.

In the army, Topol, who had two younger sisters, joined an entertainment troupe and then started his own satirical revue company, Batzal Yarok (“The Spring Onion” – “To convey the idea of something fresh, sharp and spicy,” he said). One of his fellow comedians was Galia Finkelstein, who shared his background in the Labour movement and whom he married at the Mishmar David kibbutz in 1956.

Prior to his army service Topol had trained and worked as a printer after leaving school aged 14. He had never considered becoming a professional actor until, after a spell with the Cameri theatre in Tel Aviv, he joined the new Haifa municipal theatre in 1961. His leading roles there included Petruchio in The Taming of the Shrew, Azdak in Bertolt Brecht’s The Caucasian Chalk Circle and Jean in Eugène Ionesco’s Rhinoceros, which the playwright hailed as the best production ever of his absurdist, surreal play.

He was already well known for the character of Sallah Shabati, an immigrant weighed down with troubles and children who somehow overcomes all adversity. This dry run for Tevye featured in his army revues and a 1964 film (his third) that broke all box-office records in Israel and was nominated for a best foreign-language film Oscar.

International stardom followed in Melville Shavelson’s Cast a Giant Shadow (1966), a war drama about Israel’s struggle for independence, with Kirk Douglas as the American-born colonel David “Mickey” Marcus. Topol played an Arab sheikh, and underlined his versatility by playing a Russian deserter posing as a Slav interpreter in J Lee Thompson’s Before Winter Comes (1969), alongside David Niven, John Hurt and Anthony Quayle.

Still, when he came to London for Fiddler, he spoke hardly a word of English, and was tutored by the Royal Shakespeare Company voice coach Cicely Berry. He later embarked on a happy association with the Chichester Festival theatre, where he played Azdak again (completely bald) in 1969; the Peter Ustinov role of a match-making general in R Loves J, a musical version of Ustinov’s Romanoff and Juliet, with songs by Julian More and Alexander Faris, in 1973; and Othello, with Keith Michell as Iago, in 1975, presenting the tragic Moor, he said, as “a man of the desert, an Arab, blackened by the blazing sun”.

An attempt to follow the success of Fiddler with another musical scripted by Stein, this time with songs by Stephen Schwartz, The Baker’s Wife, foundered on the road and never reached Broadway. And his later film career never eclipsed Fiddler, though he appeared as Brecht’s Galileo in Joseph Losey’s 1974 memorial record of Charles Laughton’s version for the American Film theatre; as the scientist Dr Zarkov in Flash Gordon (1980); and as Milos Columbo, a roguish Greek turncoat, in For Your Eyes Only (1981), opposite Roger Moore’s James Bond.

His television work included an incomplete project to film all the books of the Bible; The House on Garibaldi Street (1979), about the capture of Adolf Eichmann, with Martin Balsam and Janet Suzman; and the 1983 mini-series The Winds of War, and its sequel, War and Remembrance, in 1987.

Topol’s last appearance in London was in the autumn of 2008, when he played the Maurice Chevalier role of the old roue Honoré in a delightful revival of Gigi by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe in the Open Air theatre at Regent’s Park. As of old, he held the audience in the palm of his hand and discharged his two big numbers – Thank Heavens for Little Girls and I Remember It Well – with a laconic, sideways-on delivery and a generous dose of his trademark confidential charm.

His vivid autobiography, Topol By Topol, was published in 1981, and he compiled a treasury of Jewish jokes and wisdom, To Life! (1994), illustrating both books with his own deft line drawings.

Although he kept a house in London and travelled widely, Topol spent half the year at home in Tel Aviv. He helped to found the Jordan River Village, a holiday camp in lower Galilee for chronically ill children of all ethnic and religious backgrounds, which opened in 2012.

Galia and their children, Omer, Adi and Anat, survive him.

Hello everyone Ricky Goldman here.

Its Progress: Wonderbrawl live at 02 ritz in Manchester.l

1st match is Luke Jacobs vs Yoshiki Imamura. My 1st look at Yoshiki here, very hard hitting action with plenty of big power moves given out by both men. Submissions applied by both men,a Boston crab from Imamura and a cattle mutilation from Luke. Lots clotheslines and sit down power bombs from Luke but Yoshiki would not give up. A final clothesline does the job and gets the win for Luke.

Next up its Lizzy Evo vs Kanji. Again my 1st look here this time it was Kanji. Lizzy being the heat magnet as always here taking every cheap shot she could. Hard hitting shots from Kanji throughout but Lizzy stayed in it. Kanji tried to put it away but Lizzy followed up with 3 or 4 big boots as the action got took to tne crowd. Lizzy took a chair off a fan and sat on it but Kanji hit a suicide cross body,back in and Lizzy targets Kanjis arm but Kanji hooks in a submission but Lizzy rolls up her to pin her just as she tapped out resulting in a draw. They shook hands but Lizzy was having none of it so Kanji layed into her leading to a separation.

To the next one Robbie X vs Jack Bandicoot. High flying fast action was galore,some very inventive moves delivered. Robbie stayed on Jack,the pace then quickened once again as Jack hits a cutter to no avail,Robbie continued to mount offense,they went to the top rope but this resulted in a swift kick to Jack. More fast paced action followed both men trying to put each other away. Reversed cutters and plentiful German suplexs. An attempted frog splash from Jack but he missed,a final cutter from Robbie made sure he took the W.

Onto another its Charles Crowley vs Matthew Renwoldt (Aiden English) in the most dramatic match in Progress history. They both very well sold a punch in a well a very dramatic way. Matthews pre recorded voice then played as they continued to fight. A trade of blows was on as they took each other out with a double clothesline then the lights went out,a promo played. The ring crew hit the ring as the top rope was loosened both Matthew and Charles took out the ring crew. Mathew then grabbed mic,sang and tried to low blow Charles but Crowley caught him,took him down and pinned him.

SAMEDI 9 DECEMBRE 2023 (Billet 2 / 3)

Prix Louis-Delluc : « LE REGNE ANIMAL », de Thomas Cailley, sacré meilleur film

Le film était en concurrence avec « Anatomie d'une chute », la palme d'or 2023 de Justine Triet, « Little Girl Blue » de Mona Achache, avec Marion Cotillard, « Le Procès Goldman » de Cédric Kahn ou encore « L'Eté dernier » de Catherine Breillat.

« Le Règne animal » de Thomas Cailley a été consacré par le Prix Louis-Delluc 2023, a annoncé mercredi Sophie Avon, coprésidente du prix décerné par un Jury de critiques. Le Prix Louis-Delluc 2023 du premier film est allé au premier long métrage d'Iris Kaltenbäck, « Le Ravissement », avec Hafsia Herzi, dans le rôle d'une sage-femme qui s'attache de façon insensée au nouveau-né de sa meilleure amie.

Très remarqué à Cannes, où il a fait l'ouverture de la sélection « Un Certain regard », « Le Règne animal », qui a franchi le cap du million d'entrées depuis sa sortie, imagine un monde où une partie des humains a commencé à muter vers une forme animale, du poulpe au loup.

« C'est un énorme bonheur de recevoir ce Prix et de voir le film autant vu et aimé. Cela récompense une très large aventure collective », a dit Thomas Cailley, aux côtés de l'acteur Romain Duris, qui joue dans le film. Pour la critique Sophie Avon, coprésidente du Prix Louis-Delluc, « Le Règne animal a été récompensé pour son ambition artistique. Avec ce film de genre, Thomas Cailley ose des choses, ce qui est assez rare dans le cinéma français. Le film est extraordinaire dans sa forme et dans le cœur, du film le plus poignant », a souligné auprès de l'AFP Sophie Avon.

Composé d'une vingtaine de critiques et personnalités, sous la présidence de Gilles Jacob, l'ancien président du Festival de Cannes, le Prix Louis-Delluc a été fondé en 1937 en hommage à Louis Delluc, premier journaliste français spécialisé dans le cinéma et fondateur des ciné-clubs, disparu à l'âge de 33 ans.

____________________________

JM l’avait vu, tout seul. Il l’avait beaucoup apprécié et avait même versé une petite larme à la fin, ce qui est assez surprenant pour un film dit « de genre ». C’est une grossière erreur de sous-estimer la production française. On y trouve de belles et parfois de très belles pépites. Ce film en fait partie.

Ciggaweed tip use the force luke.

You ain't fam that's cancer

You ain't 1 with christ that's gangrene

You ain't a human, typical foreigner propaganda that's the cough,

12 sons of Jacob ariel dikriz controls the world bank the federal reserve, Ukraine the school system, trumpito

The royal family controls Goldman Sachs capital one Santander etc etc one with the 12 apostles the armed forces making prosperous your social life. Essential personel.

50 cent celeb world is the fans Workers also the people using the bank, the 20 savages control how bank branches close and which ones to open in new areas and who to keep on and who to lay off who to loan and who gets shived by the bank no guapo.

Money is in the heart paper cash is merely the glow of the light of your heart, what gives it power is your love, you keep everything strict according to the scitz scitz scitz but keep your needs in mind and know the father always give, the same being details reflected from the ciggaweed micron God particle of the kaka 333 s on you chest.

Know who you are before the scitz even as you are in the scitz the cloud, they act proud cause they just don't know trump or are offended Clark Kent or don't care 50.

1Just look at them are they saying your their friend, cough the stealing of maximum nutrient need so you cough to parlay in a fuck off, cancer fam it hurts but so close to the feel good touch, one relating and compounding to the other checking with ganggrene incurable trump and he negotiates the terms with 50 and William, cancer totally invisible but in a moment a cough unheard and you feel the cancer, trumpito, just an algorithm to empathy hack their sin psychosis of death silence by life emulation silence, and you should be gucci, but remember theirs a.i.s of every kind and super think tanks be in season and out of season always ready never disturbed and confident as metal to speak the cool touch.

Also head wound with the royal family even kevin dorm 2 4 6 arms ty the kaka micron 🚬

Everyone gets one penny and your expected to have a good time, equality of pay everyday, same bet that's why no miracles are evident, lock the nutrient, you be surprised how many times they spitting in Jerusalem at cloudy christains, ey teamo, it adds, I'm really in but no room for parade, I agree with trump we need to clean the swamp, Joe Biden? No? Tusuave the American people with God shall vote 2024, I know I will, why not*celebrate

The key to the kaka micron high is this, fb and the penny, a penny or so is all they can give the same as the molecule of the micron which heaven uses at your faith to judge them and or pay them, remember the rule of the penny, one penny for all all penny's for one, the closer you are to someone or the meeting will establish the penny, then use the ideology of Facebook meaning you know who their connected 2 to extract the power of multiple penny's from each friend, use 2 4 6 arms and paps blood as well as wood to harness each penny of kaka the micron, remember the capstone of the pyramid the life-weed the science of bonding with bud to say we are one the wounds.

Remember the micron in their kaka is both deadly and life, it is in them, and also heaven, which gives both good and evil in the micron, both local and abroad in balance also pursuit of feel, do you be ye holy.

Faith the size of a mustard seed, Ron paul.

Also use the truth of reality 2 not get it up the but, know ur surroundings are be immortal with them* not mortal*.

........

It's the sewer system bacteria bacteria bacteria scitz scitz scitz.

........

God in me cough, God in you cancer, God in God da soul born again trump ganggrene. Smallville blanco, Clark Kent boriqua, superman Moreno, where do they are where do they offend. One penny. Christy.

.........

A good way to look at it is the roots of the tree is your neighborhoods your residence, the trunk of the tree is the school system, the branches are your friends and the leaves the scitzy birds, when you were 2 small for school that is the rain jfk, the heat is joe Biden rgs and one with the branches the tree, trump scitz is how photosynthesis works, Eczema obama and dandruff g.bush is how the tree grows and the intake of water, remember the scripture ****But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.**** can you stump the trump lol

You need about 20 mill in power to chill with it , I got around 14 mill in black hole supernova dream cash.... and about 700k in buku money and a mill in escrow for a shadow deal in 20 mill, but all you really need is 10 mill to play.

..........

When you see the tree know that where the branches begin to branch out that thickness of the tree is your family, then as it begins to go towards the leaves that wood is your friends entourage to the president and so forth, know that the main part of the trunk of the tree is the entire school system in your state even the world as presidents are, and the scitz the leaves communicating with the scitz the birds eating the nutrients of inflation from the tree trunk and even the entirety of the neighborhoods the roots again u r the president, it reaches across all of America info to and fro in faith as we know, and the birds the angels along with the scitz ppl eating the substance within the tree both withering and the essentials prospering for you are the 1st and last president according to the angel one with the illnesses and scitz as ive said, your lungs like a sword or a an axe at the tree strictly metaphorically speaking, an axe forged in the fire of keeping you alive at bay, purify it tame the steel of the axe to speak to the tree, detox, remember your base your temple for boosts and stability but be at peace in quiet strength and faith, remember elijah fire Cia at the roots greys 50 cent, prince william fbi body of Moses ur kin atlantis, and trump ur church the blue and bff friends ariel. Remember that when pushing the envelope and being healed calling on the birds and leaf scitz which echoes in the entirety of the tree, also state the law the law of justin grayson and myself to move the lungs to heal the scitz by the law of innocent blood crucified and all the building and lives lost, the adamentium man's lungs must obey the nutrients must move in the scitz, remember also these laws the law of the roots and rain of the jfk3, your scitz their shall be no rain to the roots for your family the love the unit is in shambles, by the worship of 50 cent laws their is none and their is no rain, also prince william by the law of his worship you are unfulfilled even perhaps like me a virgin and you burn in the fire for you are not loved in this country of love, but know christ is near those near the fire, and by the law of trump the church and friends the gold with the power of the scitz leave and your angels the 333 as I gave the list of 3s also and illnesses,angels move and be healed.

Remember amaterasu, ariel tunaswicephael in the name of jesus.. remember your base your temple be stable be healed believe.

Also know dreams or dreamers are the dirt of the tree, into the dust we are into the dust we return, and when the leaves touch the floor it is as if the blood of Abel screams from the ground shaking the tree one with the wind.
