WODAABE MEN MUST LOOK BEAUTIFUL TO ATTRACT THE LADIES

Dr. Jack Wheeler February 17, 2022

The Wodaabe are cattle-herding nomads in Niger, West Africa. Their Gerewol festival features Yaake dances by the men to impress marriageable ladies with how ideally handsome they are. Those ideals include being tall and athletic, having white eyes and white teeth, decorating themselves colorfully, and having a winning smile.

The Wodaabe are a fun-loving, friendly, and hospitable people. You’ll meet them on our Trans-Sahara Expedition when we’re next able to operate one. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #57 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)

THE TOMB OF TAMERLANE

Dr. Jack Wheeler February 16, 2022

This is the interior of “Gur Emir,” the tomb of Tamerlane (1336-1405) in Samarkand, the great Silk Road city now in Uzbekistan. Tamerlane was the last of the nomadic conquerors of Eurasia, a Turkic-Mongol whose conquests extended from New Delhi to eastern Turkey.

Gur Emir is only one of a multitude of extraordinary sights in legendary Samarkand that make being here a life-memorable experience. We’ll be here during our exploration of Central Asia this May. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #59 photo ©Jack Wheeler)

THE TIBETAN KINGDOM OF LO

Dr. Jack Wheeler February 15, 2022

This is one of the magical places we experience on our Himalaya Helicopter Expeditions. An independent kingdom for 650 years in the remote Mustang region of Nepal, it is one of the last places of traditional Tibetan culture on earth, unchanged for centuries. There are sky-caves here – apartment complexes carved out of vertical cliffs 2,000 years ago – Drok-pa nomads in the high pastures, spectacular sacred ceremonies, all in a mysteriously beautiful setting where the Himalayas meet the Tibetan Plateau. We’ll be here again next April. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #86 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)

A VALENTINE PARADISE

Dr. Jack Wheeler February 14, 2022

Happy Valentine’s Day! You’ve seen this photo of mine in a previous Glimpse entitled “Hawaii in Europe.” It’s an example of the astounding beauty of the Azores in the European Atlantic. As Hawaii is a part of the US, the Azores are a part of Portugal – since the 1430s first discovered uninhabited.

And so is another Atlantic Paradise, Madeira. Together they are a pair of Atlantic Paradises that, if you do it right, make for an ultimate romantic getaway for a Valentine couple – or for anyone in search of a haven of peaceful serenity, or wants to enjoy a plethora of adventurous sports and activities. After all, a paradise is supposed to offer something fabulous for most everyone, right?

The good news is you can experience all of this by joining Rebel and me on our exploration of the Atlantic Paradises of Madeira and the Azores this June. All the info is here: Atlantic Paradises Details and Photos 2020 Jun 24-Jul 2. The photos will blow you away.

You get there quickly on a non-stop from Boston, like flying from Boston to Denver. We are going to have a paradisical time together. Luxury at very reasonable cost. This is paradise that’s irresistible. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #189 photo ©Jack Wheeler)

HALF-FULL REPORT 02/11/22

Dr. Jack Wheeler February 11, 2022

Like father, like son. There’s a reason why millions of Canadians think their current prime minister is not the son of their previous one, Pierre Trudeau, and call him “Justin Castro” instead.

Because his mother and Pierre’s wife, Margaret Trudeau, was notoriously promiscuous, idolized Castro, was on an “undisclosed island” in the Caribbean (see link) in April, 1971, and Justin was born 8½ months later on December 25. Here the Trudeaus are with Fidel in Havana on a later visit. She sure is friendly with him, isn’t she?

The Justin Castro mantra is popular in Canada right now because not only does he look like the Communist Cuban but is behaving like him. In a parliamentary system, a majority vote of the Members can remove a Prime Minister from office. Sure looks like that’s soon to be Justin Castro’s political fate. Wish it were that easy in America? Well…..

STOPPING WOKE

Dr. Jack Wheeler February 9, 2022

This is the brainchild of America’s Governor, Ron DeSantis – to put an end to Woke Anti-White Racism in schools and businesses.

He announced his legislative proposal in mid-December, the Stop WOKE Act, the acronym standing for the Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees:

“In Florida we are taking a stand against the state-sanctioned racism that is critical race theory. We won’t allow Florida tax dollars to be spent teaching kids to hate our country or to hate each other. We must protect Florida workers against the hostile work environment that is created when large corporations force their employees to endure CRT-inspired ‘training’ and indoctrination.”

Here is the full current text of HB7. It enumerates what are now to be eight (8) “Unlawful Employment Practices” under Florida state law. All eight are also to apply to “any Florida public school K-20 or Florida College System institution.”

KARI LAKE – EVERY GOP CANDIDATE SHOULD BE LIKE HER

Stacey Lennox February 8, 2022

As you can see in this ABC News interview where the reporter tried to sandbag her, Kari Lake is fabulous.

Kari is a former news anchor running for Governor of Arizona as a Trump Republican. She made national news last year when she resigned from her position at Fox 10 News in Phoenix after 22 years.

The ABC interview is not the only one where Lake has demonstrated this amount of conviction and poise. Her Rumble page is full of interviews with mainstream outlets attempting the same strategy as the ABC reporter that her team records. While Lake’s poise is enviable, her defense of the views of many Republican voters about the 2020 election is something all GOP candidates need to do.

OUR ELITES ARE NO ELITES AT ALL

Victor Davis Hanson February 8, 2022

The ideal elites, as ancient philosophers argued, were a “natural elite” due to their exemplary character, aptitude, and work ethic. Understandably, a towering few ascended from all walks of life to positions of power, influence, and occasional wealth.

Today, our elites are in those positions by embracing woke progressivism that not only cements elite membership, it also serves as an acceptable scab to mask a lack of character beneath. And a lack of competence.

We don’t quite know, for example, how we got into $30 trillion of debt, normative $2-trillion deficits, and coming runaway inflation. We only know that the 7-Eleven manager, the owner-operator truck driver, and the electrician grasp a lot more about economics than do the elite Ph.D.s who wrote, argued, and led us into this mess.

A COLOR MAP OF THE FRONTS OF WORLD WAR III

Janet Levy February 10, 2022

Almost forty years ago, KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov warned of an assault on the West via leftist ideological subversion. Borrowing from a classic Sesame Street routine, he asked American leaders to unplug the bananas from their ears. Few heard him.

Key among those on America’s side is Kenneth Abramowitz, founder of a remarkable organization called Save The West and author of The Multifront War: Defending America from Political Islam, China, Russia, Pandemics and Racial Strife. America is up against a protean enemy of criminal intent and is unprepared to fight in any meaningful, unified way, he says.

By color-coding the enemies in the graphic above, he has illuminated the multitudinous perils we face.

FEARS IN MOSCOW THAT UKRAINE COULD BE PUTIN’S VIETNAM

Paul Goble February 9, 2022

Many Russian political commentators in recent weeks have been increasingly aggressive in suggesting that their country can easily defeat and occupy its largest western neighbor and that there is nothing the Ukrainians or the West can do about it.

But a contrary media narrative has unexpectedly sprouted up as well. Russian military and security experts cast doubt that Russia would face an easy time defeating Ukrainian forces in the field or pacifying the country after doing so. In fact, some worry that invading Ukraine could be disastrous, a Vietnam for Putin and Russia.

KEEPING YOUR SANITY BY BEING CURIOUS ABOUT THE ONE YOU LOVE

Dr. Joel Wade February 7, 2022

Photo by Joel Wade

As a young man in 1988, I went on a Wheeler Expedition with Jack to the remotest part of the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa, where we experienced a “first contact” with a band of San Bushmen hunter-gatherers. We were the first people from the outside world they had ever met.

It was a grand adventure for me. It affected me deeply, helping put some of my priorities in perspective, and adding to my appreciation for humanity’s richness. It also inspired me later on to write a children’s book, The San People of the Kalahari.

So what does this have to do with love and marriage? I’ve been working with couples for more than 40 years now. If there’s one common theme that I’ve found to wreak havoc between two perfectly wonderful people, it’s this:

Canada's Glorious Revolution:

Trudeau Is Playing With Fire

Canada gets it right with massive passive resistance:

Fact Vs. Fiction: On the Ground with Canada’s Freedom Convoy

More good sense from Canadian Truckers:

Exclusive: Freedom Convoy Is the Opposition to 'Communist Liberals' and 'Socialist Conservatives'

Canada! The comments on logistics are especially to the point; this operation has been planned with exquisite precision, right down to the bouncy castles for the children, the hot tubs and saunas, and the truckers bringing in hay to feed the cops' horses. This is a compilation of reports by TTPer Dagny on her site dagnyintel.com:

Canada! Historic!

FLASHBACK FRIDAY – THE HIDDEN NORTH FACE OF KANCHENJUNGA

Dr. Jack Wheeler February 11, 2022

This is one of the truly great mountain sights on earth yet never seen – except for professional mountaineers and those on our Himalaya Helicopter Expeditions. Kanchenjunga at 28,169 feet (8,586 meters) is the world’s 3^rd highest mountain (after Everest and K2), with a drop from summit (the peak on the left in front of the cloud) to the glacier at it base of 12,000 feet straight down.

You can be awed by such a picture, but to actually physically be here, to witness this magnificence personally so that it is forever a part of your life, is to feel a depth of awe that has to be experienced to be understood. Kanchenjunga is part of the Himalayas, now on the border of Nepal and Sikkim, once an independent kingdom now absorbed into India. We fly right up the North Face, and into the Amphitheatre of the Southwest Face as well.

We’ll be here for sure this coming April. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #31 photo ©Jack Wheeler)

THE CAMEL MEAT MARKET IN THE FEZ BAZAAR

Dr. Jack Wheeler February 10, 2022

Sometimes you run across something that no matter how it grosses you out, you have to take a picture of it. The thousand year-old medina or walled city of Fez is a World Heritage Site as the spiritual and cultural capital of Morocco. Uniquely epitomizing this is the stall of the camel butcher in the medina’s vast bazaar. To garner the attention of ladies shopping for their family’s dinner, he proudly displays the head of the camel whose fresh meat is on sale. Traveling in Morocco is always an adventure.
