If you want to learn something and enjoy doing so I suggest you give the 1972 movie Cabaret a look. It will cost you four bucks but if you don’t find it worth it I’ll send you a refund myself.
Joel Grey as the Emcee is evil incarnate, which you might not notice.
What will you learn? Well, you will see where we are right now, this country and the vast majority of those who live here. If you recall the movie, it takes place in 1931 Berlin, with the rise of the Nazis in the background of the main storyline. This is what I’m talking about.
If you’re not in the mood for a great, profound, highly enlightening couple hours, just give this clip a look. Like three minutes.
Of notable brilliance is how Fosse crafted the last shot in the film to match the opening. And there are set pieces that are absolute knockouts, particularly as in the clip. If that one doesn’t give you the shivers… well, it should.

A sidenote: I met Bob Fosse coincidentally in 1972, the year of Cabaret (it swept the Oscars, including best director and best picture) out in the Hamptons. In those days the gay/show biz/literary community was all over the place on the East End and certain of my surf buddies and I were very popular with the big shots. Good looking young surfers and so on, although to my knowledge none of my crowd were gay. We had fun taking advantage of their infatuations with us. Meeting females and so on.
Ten seconds into this scene, Fosse lowers the boom.
Through novelist John Knowles (A Separate Peace and others) and his pal Truman Capote we were invited to a party at Lester Persky’s East Hampton mansion and I soon found myself in conversation with a model/actress type whose name escapes me. (Persky was a money man who would soon produce the movie versions of Equus and of Hair.) I’d just returned from a hashish smuggling/surf trip to Morocco, had an attitude, and all was going well with my new friend. Suddenly someone nudges me aside, puts himself in the woman’s face, his back to me now, and interrupts, saying to the girl, ‘I’m Bob Fosse.’ That was it. He was Bob Fosse.
Fosses was a little guy as I recall and looked nothing like Roy Scheider, who played Fosse in another brilliant Fosse film, All That Jazz. Fosse must’ve mistaken me for a boyfriend of one of his gay pals, so when I said words to the effect of ‘Get the fuck out of our faces,’ he did so immediately.
We only see him for a few seconds but he’s important.
I relate this in case you don’t know that brilliance, talent, intelligence, you name it as a positive trait, whatever it is it has nothing to do with being or not being a fucking asshole, a meek one at that. Quite the contrary, and I know this for a statistical fact.
Actually, at the moment I cannot think of even one exception to this phenomenon, and I have a fairly impressive list.
But still, click at least one of the above links. Fosse, I promise you, would not get the truth of his own brilliant work: We are now in Berlin in 1931.To put it a more personal way (if you view the film): We are Sally Bowles.
One other thing, and this somehow relates to my previous post: Fosse is now dead. I’m not. You’re not. Good.
Addendum: If you trusted me and are happy about it, here’s another one, from a couple nights ago, and it’s currently free on Youtube. The original version of Wolfgang Peterson’s Das Boot.
923 is a number that has apparently shown up quite a bit in the predictive programming realm, aka “the movies” just as 911 did for years and years prior to the event. Anyway, I’ve played around with it, and, unfortunately, all that I’ve come up with just reinforces the sense that it may be the worst of all the days in a month that appears ominous. To wit: 9×23×23 = 4761. Those numbers individually sum to 18. But it gets considerably more eerie when one multiplies 9×2×3×2×3 which sums to 324, which =18 squared.
In the meantime, Ottawa hospitals are reinstating masks on the eleventh. Yeah, 9/11. The health emergency is so great they need to wait a week to impose face rags.

OT: On October 4th, there will be a nationwide test of the Emergency Broadcast System on every single “smart” device. Could something very bad happen then? “From Attorney Todd Callender: Marburg Virus is baked into the shots and will be activated by three 1 minute pulse waves at 18GHz from the 5G towers all over the country.” https://twitter.com/RealDrJaneRuby/status/1698883363497541717
Maybe get a Faraday bag to put the phones in during the October 4th test?…Curiously, when I search “Faraday” and “October 4th” on X/Twitter, there is only one relevant search result. A lot of people have to be thinking along these lines. Those tweets are probably censored because they don’t want people doing this. https://twitter.com/matttttt187/status/1698844044795809841
I just checked X/Twitter today for “October 4(th)” + “Faraday.” Only one result. I checked for “October 4(th)” and “5G” and/or “Marburg.” Just a handful of results. It’s just not possible that no one is talking about this. What IS trending on X/Twitter? Tucker Carlson’s interview with Larry SInclair on his affair with Obama. That was news in about 2008! Who cares now? https://www.tiktok.com/@glenthornton285/video/7274630728850083102?_r=1&_t=8fO2t8LghB8
Did anything happen? Where did this… theory originate? Any ideas? Pretty intense.
Stew(ed) Peters is promoting this nonsense to blackwash those who have legitimate criticisms of these wretched products.
Here’s a good summation of Maui:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/KHboBU8EGJ9y/
Stick it out, worth it. We really are under attack.
That video is the conclusive proof. Wow! BTW, microwave lasers known as maser were invented a few years before the first laser and I recall reading years ago that it was much much easier to build a powerful maser than a laser. I think it was back in the 1980s they already had multi megawatts ones and not just lab prototypes. So I would suspect that it would be relatively simpler to have a very powerful maser on one or more satellites in space and there would be so much power they could overcome any atmospheric disturbance. The chief problem is always converting power in, into power out and traditionally for lasers it was poor (but not newer diode ones) but was always very good for masers. That video and the evidence is rock solid.
And that leaves a bit of a puzzle. It appears Russia is thrashing all the NATO wonder weapons but with this stuff the US could burn up a lot of the Russia gear/weapons. Do they not use it because the Russians have the same -very likely and would torch them back or what is going on there. Either way though this nails the fires things and hence 100% shows up the climate thing.
Also, it is true lots of mountain glaciers have been melting but perhaps they are pointing their masers at them on a slightly slower cook rate. Afterall they are just water and that is how microwaves heat your food by heating the water since it absorbs them so well. It could be probably proved by placing microwave detectors around the glaciers. I am less sure about this since it would require a lot of steady power but hey maybe the numbers work
LOL – no way is the DEW mounted on a fast moving satellite way the hell up.
It is being held high up in the sky, with pin point accuracy, by god knows what sort of helicopter, or UFO – more like it. It can pick off any house or car or boat it wants, and leave the neighboring property untouched.
…..I first found this creepy story about 3 years ago.
I reckon it was a dirty rotten black budget DEW weapon test – in the middle of nowhere for obvious reasons.
Get a load of this > https://youtu.be/Ee8iLRVOHDw?si=UolhLUMOg07LYM5n
If the satellite was is geostationary orbit then it would appear fixed over a given spot. Most TV sats are like that and about half of the weather satellites. You only need 4 or 5 spaced around the orbit to cover most of the Earth. For something like DEW you might have more and might initially just use two, one for USA and other covering Europe.
It is likely DEW might have been a spinoff from the Reagans SDI (aka Star Wars) initiative back in the late 1980s since they were trying to create X-ray beams for anti-missile defence but that is infinitely harder to do than build relatively high powered masers to burn stuff on the ground
Good one!. Not from 100+ miles up!.
And don’t try and tell me they would be perfectly locked ‘on target’ in synchronicity, to within about 6 foot on earth. Also it’s power dissipation at that height would render it useless.
This is reminding me of that possom in the headlights faker Musk, and his crude broomstick, supposedly landing on the dime from 100’s of miles away!.
OT: “Oprah” is trending on X/Twitter today, and she’s getting roasted. This is just one of the videos. Oprah (a billionaire) wants you to donate to her Maui charity, even though Oprah and the Rock can easily afford to do much more than they have. The charity she wants you to donate to is, of course, corrupt. This video nails it, but it’s even worse than that. https://twitter.com/ImMeme0/status/1698033905050267745
Great link. Hey, ever wonder why the twitter bird is now a big X, as in bullseye? X marks the spot. And so on. Anyone who trusts Musk…. and so on…
More “burn” for Oprah and the Rock. They want you to donate your hard-earned money to them! The “elites” don’t have an honest bone in their bodies. https://twitter.com/dom_lucre/status/1698411715090608261

Hi Allan,
Tried the link to ‘Das Boot’, but got ‘The uploader has not made this video available in your country’. I went for a trip around the world with my VPN and still nada.
Where did you watch it?
Just YT. Thats fucked up.
Same here (NZ).
Wow what a prick of a thing to do, getting between you and your lady friend like that Allan!.
He thought he was superior to you, but you were a gentleman/peacemaker about it really.
A lot of people would have seen Red, – one of my fave scenes out of the movies, I love this movie so much! (got it on DVD) , check this out – Tom Cruise and the artist fight :-D,
> https://youtu.be/dOfZSUa_730?si=BaiuJ_DmDcL9pEQc
Notice the black and white checker floor… coincidence? maybe but they are not all so. Depends on the connections of the producers. I don’t recall that movie btw.
Yep, I always notice those black n white NWO checks patterns (movies or real life).
From one of the best movies ever made IMO – Tom Cruise & Bryan Brown, in ‘Cocktail’ 1988.
Some people dislike it because they don’t like Cruise.
It’s bristling with real life scenario’s, important messages, and awesome script and acting from all.
There is a classic classroom scene between Cruise and his teacher, that say’s it all about the education system, but I can’t find it anywhere.
Allan, I see Sean is back up and running on Y.T, his big channel was wrecked and pulled down by them, but he is starting again from scratch.
He and guest talk about Blackrock and it’s heart of darkness > https://youtu.be/w7cwSJLhRXE?si=9I20lx9kKGNLQEb-
Allen, thanks for the Das Boot link. I was 12 when JFK was killed by some shady characters, who blamed and framed Oswald, who was apparently drinking a Coke in the break room when the shots were fired, according to 2 female witnesses. I grew up learning the American version of WW2 from Walter Cronkite on “Twentieth Century”. Remember? Then I learned of Dresden, and Ike’s POW camps in 1946, with the starvations, and no shelter, or fresh water. Now, we are almost full circle back to 1929, with our banking system shaky, and a debt-based economy, with no heavy industry to speak of. With you home-on-wheels, you are better positioned than most, to weather the storm, which is surely coming. That 12 hour documentary, “Europa” fills in some gaps.
Allan,
A fun window into a genuinely historical party in many ways. I’d a loved to have sashayed there while you were feeling your oats.
It’s a joy always getting the nitty gritty from your writing.
Cabaret is great. Liza stole the show… Thanks, It’s a must-watch again film.
Operation Mockingbird was running full tilt in this period. Did Capote attend any parties with you and Peter Beard?
Oh, I remember that movie!!! You are so right! About it all. Also…I was watching “That Summer” again today and I wondered if you had met Capote. I found him fascinating when I was a kid. I’d never seen anyone like him. He made you want to slap him or hug him. Maybe both.
The doc I just watched about him broke my heart. I was crazy about “All That Jazz.” You have had an absolutely fascinating life surrounded by fascinating people! (Did you ever meet Edie and Big Edie????) Dying to know. 😉😊
On the other hand…(attempting to one-up ya!!!) ahem…….lol…Elvis Presley was my cousin…. 😍 I loved this post!
Absolutely right about Truman. You wanted to bitch slap him then hug the little bastard. And not an asshole like Fosse.
Kander/Ebb did great stuff together, and CHICAGO is probably even better. CABARET has great songs, but the story line is somewhat puzzling. It’s based on the play I AM A CAMERA. Supposedly, the sexuality of the male and female leads were switched from the play to the musical. You’re never quite sure in what version you’re watching who is homosexual/lesbian, especially if you’ve seen both. Yes, it does seem like we’re going through the 1930s again…OT: My webmaster is still working on my website, so it is still down…”Big Apple Corner,” a NYC street sign I dedicated in 1997, was stolen in 2021. I was told today it was finally replaced on July 15th, then it was stolen AGAIN, and cannot be replaced any time soon. (See “Big Apple” Wikipedia page.) Ah. New York City…See this YouTube channel, the former A Call For An Uprising. Florida is being destroyed now, in particular, the proposed “smart city” of St. Petersburg. He has two new videos up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_J67JXPi8c
Its pretty clear in the flick.
>> Isherwood himself was highly critical of the 1972 film adaptation due to its negative portrayal of homosexuality: “In the film of Cabaret, the male lead is called Brian Roberts. He is a bisexual Englishman; he has an affair with Sally and, later, with one of Sally’s lovers, a German baron…. Brian’s homosexual tendency is treated as an indecent but comic weakness to be snickered at, like bed-wetting.”[59] << https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Bowles
I didn’t see it that way at all. I could go into the subtext of gayness in the movie but am not in the mood right now. Remember when it was made and Fosse’s friends were all gay; he was probably bi.
Went to it in 1972, In NOLA, 3.5 hr drive with girlfriend. The theatres anywhere in MS would not show it. That was when you’re 19 and pay cash for a room. Nice inebriated night afterwards. And fun in the morning. Paid $30 at The Monteleone. Big $$$ back then.
Clicking on your photos does nothing, need to fix.
Jesus, I have no idea what you’re talking about.
It’s working for me….
