“Where we perceive a chain of events, [the angel of history] sees one single catastrophe wch keeps piling wreckage & hurls it in front of his feet…A storm blowing in from Paradise irresistibly propels him into the future, while the pile of debris grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress.”

'Gruss vom Angelus' A Klee painting named 'Angelus Novus' shows an angel looking as though he is about to move away from something he is fixedly contemplating. His eyes are staring, his mouth is open, his wings are spread. This is how one pictures the angel of history. His face is turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage and hurls it in front of his feet. The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing in from Paradise; it has got caught in his wings with such a violence that the angel can no longer close them. The storm irresistibly propels him into the future to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress.

Lemme tell you about the angel of history being blown backwards into the future: The shackles these people have been put in are Hiatt brand, same company founded in 1780 to mass produce shackles for slaver ships.

Very unsettled to learn that my niece’s husband who was on the Global Sumud Flotilla has been detained by the IOF. Proud that she found the strength to protest with friends and whānau.

My Stepdad, Paul Mullen, is a psychiatrist, he profiled the lone gunmen behind the Monash Uni, Hoddle Street and Port Arthur mass killings. His book ‘Running Amok: Inside the mind of a lone mass killer’ comes out in a week of almost daily US mass killings. extraordinarybooks.co.uk/book/running...
