![]() ![]() It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. ![]() Just remember: What you are seeing and what you are reading is not what’s happening. Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. A linear decrease in body mass was assumed when assessing the body mass value used for calculating the mass-specific metabolic rate. Despite being virtually hairless, the Javan rhino does have sparse hairs around the nose and horn. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. The body mass of both sexes can range from 1500-2000 kg. Quickly: which one of these sentences I just wrote one after the other is from two fictional dystopian novels, and which from the real world of Trump’s America – uttered by the US president himself or by one of his associates? Hard to tell? Harder to believe. Rhino is based on the Non-Uniform Rational Basis Splines, also known as NURBS geometry which is capable of creating mathematically precise figures. Some of them are from George Orwell’s 1984 and his Animal Farm, others from Donald Trump and his closest consiglieri and ministers of truth. Rhinoceros is a 3D modelling software that is used for creating realistic and workable 3D models. The barrage of such sentences ever since Donald Trump became the US president has made it impossible to dwell on any one of them and think what in the world they might mean. Features include extremely fast 3D graphics, unlimited viewports, shaded, working views, perspective working views, named views, floating views, full-screen display, draw order support, twopoint perspective, clipping planes, and one-to-one scale to view models at full size. The speed with which Trump administration is subject of hysterical dysfunction makes any such phrases look stale two days after they were thrown at us.Īs I write these sentences, the US and, by extension, people around the world are mesmerised by the pending publication of Bob Woodward’s damning book on Trump’s White House, Fear: Trump in the White House, and the publication of an op-ed article by an unnamed administration official in the New York Times that spoke of a “quiet resistance” of cabinet members who had whispered about taking steps to remove him from office. I have lived in the US for more than 40 years (the Deuterocanonical number of punishment) and to the best of my knowledge of more than 200 years of US history, no similar calamity has ever befallen this nation. ![]() In this volcanic eruption of insanity that is the US politics these days, with dangerous repercussions around the globe, we must step back and take time to dwell on any one of such bizarre sentences as “truth is not truth” – uttered by Trump’s legal consigliere Rudy Giuliani – and wonder in disbelief. The fate of our planet, the future of our humanity, our hope for sustained human discourse, all are contingent on this Newspeak now spoken fluently in this particular Oceana. ![]()
