Ignore the chatter that the GameStop stock battle is over whether to “democratize” trading, and let the “little guy get a piece of the action.” The real story, which will never be reported, is that the financial system is bankrupt, and a “full-fledged epic bubble” is about to pop, according to Jeremy Grantham. The “Great […]
Mozart, Beethoven dialogue continued Notes by Margaret Scialdone. We continue the Mozart-Beethoven dialogue with Beethoven’s 7 Variations on “Bei Männern, welche Liebe Fühlen” (‘A man who can feel love must have a good heart’), the beautiful duet sung by Pamina and Papageno in the first act of “The Magic Flute”. Mozart’s opera employs fantastical characters […]
Friday Questions — Don’t believe everything you hear. The cabal which ran Russiagate thinks it won, but it is a Pyrrhic victory, which will be overturned not by a secret plan organized by “good guys” in the military and intelligence, but by a mobilization of the American people. Questions include, Do you think Trump is […]
Mozart – Beethoven a musical dialogue over time. Notes by Margaret Scialdone. Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni, the story of a dissolute lecher who is finally dragged to Hell, provided a rich source of material for Beethoven.

“There are no direct parallels in history” for the present time, said Russian President Vladimir Putin in his speech at the Davos Agenda forum. “However, some experts … compare the current situation to the 1930s….

There is growing opposition from sovereign nation states to the global, corporatist, unilateralist fantasies of the Davos ghouls, opposition which corresponds to the design for Lyndon LaRouche’s […]
Mozart’s birthday; Beethoven’s regard for him. Notes by Margaret Scialdone. ~ As January 27th is the 265th birthday of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, we’ll step away from the sonatas for a few days and allow Beethoven to pay homage to his great predecessor. The teenaged Beethoven first went to Vienna in 1787, and it’s believed that […]
While the utopian fascists of the globalist corporate elite have been planning to use the current Davos conference as the moment when they ram through their global banker’s dictatorship to impose a deadly Green New Deal, there are signs that an opposition is growing, centered around China and Russia, and including some elements in Europe.

We continue the commemoration of Mozart’s Birthday in the Beethoven Year with one of the last piano works Beethoven ever composed: the Diabelli Variations. The publisher Anton Diabelli wrote a simple waltz and circulated it to 13 composers, requesting a single variation from each. Beethoven initially scoffed at the idea, but then produced a mammoth […]
The conversation yesterday between Russian President Putin and Joe Biden had one positive outcome, an agreement to extend the START Treaty, set to expire next week, for five years.
