    Why didnt the rest of the masonic system reach out to Maybrick and ask him to stop making a fool out of them, in this theory? Surely the ripper crimes were causing scotland yard and even the crown some distress. Why not silence the guy behind it? Or at least rein him in?

    Self-Esteem isn’t the same as grandiosity, which stems from insecurity. Hitler didn’t have self-esteem, or self-worth, he had a lot of delusions of grandeur, which is narcissistic.

    Living in abnormal conditions creates abnormal living conditions , social structure. People know of this but some one has to start the spark for understanding the cause lying at the root. It will not be easy . If you think it will be easy you do not even understand the cause , root cause of this disease. It is a disease . We all got sick. We as part of humanity must get control over this disease that turned us into orphans.

    All the booze finally caught up with him, lol. I'm a first-generation Withnail & I fanatic, so it's sad to see him go all dotty in his old age, though it happens to the best of them, I guess. Still, it's as if Marwood wound up as some old man ranting about Freemasons and Jack the Ripper. Not the way I'd have pictured him turning out as he walked away from Withnail and towards his budding film career, eyes full of wonder and promise. File under: Downsides to Getting Sober.

    My contribution: Thank you for the kind file. Mr. Whitman was in France, but Chirac was a mayor. Bernie Madoff lived close to Shakespeare and Co.'s East Side shop. Os Lusíadas is a well know book from Camões, but I tried to learn English since I was a child and listened Tom Jobim. I was supposed to be with Sting, but I helped Mr. Riv, who was a great musician of difficult temper. During Covid. my school chorus classmate celebrated the 1 yr. Samba Club she tried to put together in Germany. My contribution is the Happy Birthday file in my UA-cam. Sting sang with Stevie Wonder and I had to drive to Liberty State Park during Covid to record it. Andrea Bocelli made a Concert at Liberty State Park years ago and Sinatra is NJ guy.

      Both of my children read fine. They also draw. Cooking isn't my strengh, but I learnt a lot about it. Sport builds team work, but competition builds individuals. The challenge is earn self-steem among atonement.

      Best musician? I wont share, but listened Genesis. Kate Bush shared Wuthering Heights before John Lennon's tragedy. I heard them in my childhood. Amazon is holding some of my song playlist. I should get paid instead of the other way around because Sanchez dodged the picture scandal, while Hillary and Bill had to make sacrifices. I'm not speaking from a party preference because Al Gore was a good campaigning match.

    Just started listening and was struck by her use of the word 'yoni' as it's one I have had much affection for. I comes from Hinduism and refers to the vulva but also divine procreative energy and is a representation of the Hindu goddess Shakti.

    The Years is one of the best autobiographies which run in parallel with collective memories, both historical but also capturing minute moments people are living through that are meaningful only to them, while history as a whole marches inexorably forward. What a fantastic book, and what a treat to have an interview with the author about it. The interpreter was incredible!

    Self indulgent, pretentious , Leftist , miserablist hypicrite. Hated her parents as she looked down on their working class ways. Married an upper class French man (she enjoyed mixing in Bourgeois society) she then resented her husband. Tedious long trips to the USSR, Albania and Alkende's Chile ...romanticises Communist repressive regimes. This woman is a narcisstic, disgruntled depressive. No wonder Phillipe left her...the main was a Saint.

    If everyone is a freemason, then no one is a free Mason. Freemasons, the go - to group conspiracy theories reach for when the jews are otherwise busy. My dad and grandfather were masons,and apart from funding entire hospitals, I don't know what they got up to. Even though the movement is dying from lack of young joiners, perhaps feminism could invade it!
