Bloodhand

Product Information

Unable to book shows anywhere else, the Bloodhound Gang first performed in an extra room at the home of future bassist and Jimmy Pop's Temple University classmate [5] Jared Hennegan's house, in exchange for Schlitz beer, Marlboro cigarettes, and a chance to hand out their first demo tape, titled Just Another Demo. [3] When the floor caved in one night, they began performing every month at CBGBs in New York City. When asked about the band's tenure at the club, Jimmy Pop was quoted as saying, "I've seen cavemen with better clubs." [3] What I really think about... supercars, America, foreigners, car launches, Top Gear, the battle of the sexes and cars "

The same must, ultimately, be concluded about Snyder’s Bloodlands. With his account, Snyder minimizes and relativizes not only the crimes of the German bourgeoisie but of its fascist and nationalist allies in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. It is an account that is aimed, ultimately, at legitimizing the attempted nationalist and fascist reaction against the socialist October Revolution of 1917.The political and intellectual implications of such a reactionary effort are of the most serious and dangerous character. The historical lie, as Leon Trotsky always stressed, serves a definite political and social function. The historical lies of Bloodlands are now central to the ideological justification of, first, the build-up of fascist forces, and, second, the imperialist war against Russia in Ukraine and the drive toward another world war, more broadly.

In terms of target speeds, Edmondson confirmed that the original goal of 1,000mph is still a “Plan B” but Bloodhound would initially be aiming for 850mph. Brooks, Caryn B. "Be Aggressive Be, Be, Aggressive". WWeek. Archived from the original on September 29, 2007 . Retrieved August 7, 2006. Speaking exclusively to Driving.co.uk at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Wing Commander Stuart Edmondson, who was head of engineering operations before being “handed the keys” to the project at the start of the year, said Bloodhound is ready and waiting for a new land speed record attempt with a one-time investment. This political lurch to the right found its ideological expression in the dominance of postmodernism and its rejection of historical truth and science. For decades, the dominant trends at universities were shaped primarily by anti-Marxism, irrationalism and the promotion of racial and other forms of identity politics. It should be stressed that Snyder himself, even while engaging in the rehabilitation of Nolte and Ukrainian fascism, has been a champion of identity politics, including the racialist falsifications of history by the New York Times’ 1619 project. So I’m doing it for three reasons: it’s the right thing to do, the engineering challenge, but also to increase the attractiveness of any investor. We have had investors turn away and go, ‘I can’t be associated with that. I’ve got lots of money, but that’s not green’.”In this climate, even those historians who have engaged in serious research have largely been left without a social and political axis and orientation in their work. Indeed, the errors are so glaring and the efforts to rehabilitate the Nolte thesis and other claims of the Eastern European far-right are so flagrant, that it should have been enough to destroy Timothy Snyder’s reputation as a historian. Yet it has not. Edmondson was keen to clarify that Bloodhound wouldn’t be using biofuels to power the jet engine, which come with their own environmental issues such as deforestation and mass crop farming, but synthetic e-fuels, such as those being developed by the likes of Porsche, using renewable processes to create a hydrogen and methanol-based liquid fuel. The process is potentially completely carbon neutral.

The dog that refuses to die is turning green

But as late as 2010, just before Bloodlands first came out, Snyder wrote an essay for the New York Review of Books raising the alarm about the unabashed glorification of OUN-leader Stepan Bandera in Ukraine. [6] With Bloodlands, he has conclusively thrown overboard all of his previous research and, one must add, his credentials as a historian. To the extent that there is a continuity with his previous writings, it is his obsession with the regions that formed part of the Intermarium strategy and largely coincide with his otherwise arbitrarily devised “Bloodlands.” Everything about the book indicates that its political aims and historical claims were established before the “sources” were added to “substantiate” them.
