They&#39;ve gotten by on self-interest, an abundance of bright but morally bereft people who like to brush their teeth with baking soda and go around shaking hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Journalism has failed to expose this drift towards anti-social politicians. Instead, Imperial Press barons would seamlessly shift focus, Using national issues to overshadowing local issues - REAL issues of power such as who is worthy to represent your views at the capital city, or who should be mayor or dog-catcher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people can&#39;t name the mayor - never mind their federal representative. They&#39;ve been told that wearing Green on Earth Day is how they exercise power - how they participate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Media barons provide the politicians favourite weapon : fear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama gets his legitimacy from the hundreds of millions of people that voted for him - not from some quibbling sub-section written by navel-gazing rich white men living under the British Empire 230yrs ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those that only have one faith on this Earth - who claim to love their Constitution and worship it ... they are the victims of this side-show. It&#39;s good advice to read the Constitution, but paperwork from birth does not mean anything to the man that went to University and got his bad self elected Senator.  Let&#39;s not confuse legitimacy with entitlement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the Black Death - Bohemia (high ground) escaped the plague. There were issues of lead poisoning from Roman mines - either they used the lead, or they were looking for something else and exposed a vien of lead - dammit Jim, I&#39;m a cartographer, not a poison control expert !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scandinavia (not occupied by Rome) had life expectancy of 70-80yrs, at a time when it was not uncommon for southern Europeans to drop dead from lead poisoning at 40.  The guess is, that it&#39;s the water. Sweden got glacier fresh water while streams in the south took over a thousand years to de-tox.  Deliberate poisoning is the blankets given to Injuns that had been coughed upon by sick Europeans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bohemia might have escaped due to ropes and riverboats and trade barriers ... or the wells in Bohemia might have been inaccessible for priests that were going around, doing the poisoning. As far as I know, Bohemia didn&#39;t become Protestant - and out from under Vatican reach - until after Martin Luther, so maybe it was the rats ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next attack will target wheat - and our food supply. It will come from rice consuming nations that consider themselves unaffected by wheat-eating pests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The edict is simple and would apply no matter who was ruling the world : Population control yourself, or we will population control you by covert means ... Africa is a wasteland of humanity at a time when everyone is watching the balance between India and China.  Earthquakes and weather control - will also be unleashed before any of the naked &amp; obvious schemes we read about in the scandal sheets.  If you could steer hurricanes and typhoons towards your enemy&#39;s city or cause an earth-quake under his base camp ... everything else is child&#39;s play.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tinker-toys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Warfare on a scale unimagined by the lame-ass debates I read about. Coast to Coast presents the &quot;woo - this is cool&quot; defense industry version of events. I feel like I&#39;m reading Air Combat Magazine from the 70s-80s ... it&#39;s coming from the same Public Relations think-tankery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s likely that a &quot;final solution&quot; could be unleashed by a super-villain - like we see in Superman, Spiderman et al - and the country that escapes unscathed .... is the country that has access to hospitals and the microscopy necessary to solve the problem and then distribute the pill, drug or whatever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would you take that bet. On your marks, get set - go - a kiler virus is unleashed. In the first world, the cure is at the hospital or pharmacy and costs $15 ... ready within hours and you can imagine everyone from taxi-drivers to Fed-Ex getting involved ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Third World - if it&#39;s a killer virus, there is no Third World anymore. If it takes out 2/3 like the Black Death, then India and China could drop from 1.3B to 400M ... blink of an eye.  That would change the world.  Mosquito&#39;s would be the way to go - it would spare the North &amp; South Hemispheres over winter and turn the Tropics into Gilligan&#39;s Island - with confused white people running around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sustained economic threat or military threat will bring these toys out of the lab and onto the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;added May 3 @ 3am&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In most cases, the question boils down to &quot; if you were given control, power or authority to prevent infiltartion by communists, or (by extension) socialists and you had access to the largesse of the US Government - what would you do ?  What orders would you give ?  Would you want a pill or injection that would erase memories ?  Or truth serum ?  Poison a water supply to induce diarrhea ?   Pacifism ?  Or &quot;peace and love&quot; ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the US, the anti-Darwin faith-based people are brainwashed into preserving/promoting social Darwinism.  It&#39;s interesting to hear the circular logic and glimpses into imaginations that are &quot;wrong but not in doubt&quot; thru the media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s very difficult to discuss economics, politics or social choices within reach of the common(er) ... when we&#39;ve gone a century turning Economics into a gambling house of probability.  Comparative methods discussions have been replaced by comparative data which comes from a single method. As a result, modern Economists have offered nothing that could compare to Weber. If anyone disagrees - by all means, enlighten me. Show me the enlightened one !  Stuff that Weber talks about is dangerous because if you aint for Imperial-grade capitalism, then you&#39;re against the USA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask any banana republic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;btw : For those label-junkies trying to nail down my philosophy using right wing slogan-slinging web-sites ... it probably can&#39;t be done because those unlettered puppets probably only know Karl Marx from a pamphlet they read while signing up for NSA/CIA covert operations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When an economist or sociologist talks about &quot;status groups&quot; and how poor people need to see cause and effect to get anywhere - that&#39;s not Marx, that&#39;s Weber.  Totally.  Any attack on the Marx pinata or shadow-boxing communism will miss the target.  Their debates &amp; discussions are skimmed over at high speed, like a UFO might skim over the Declaration of Independence from 25,000 feet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s there, in the data banks, but what are the odds career advancement will make it required reading ? The flight of capital has caused business (which really has no place in academia) to spill into economics out of demand in the marketplace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is another way that capitalism hides itself as an ideology - and tries to look organic or home-grown or natural.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Business is Business ... and deflating the number of economists and sociologists or philosophers that think about Weber&#39;s advice does not make it go away. It might make it easier to silence the dissent of capitalism because it is perceived to be coming from outside of capitalism - the Cold War was all propaganda ... and since the enemy has folded its tent and withdrawn, yes, &quot;fascist interests&quot; have been funding rug-pilots and dressing them up as &quot;threats to civilization&quot; ... but the Bush Family and Bin Laden family are both dynasties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the difference between Universal and Global ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WTF good are these &quot;anti-global&quot; movements when all they seek to do is slow things down ? Instead of &quot;let&#39;s sell ourselves into slavery&quot;, the forces opposed want to &quot;sell our children into slavery&quot; ... and the globalists have instant allies : the people who don&#39;t have/want children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The constant stirring of the aquarium comes from C2C-AM and those who maintain the loud-speakers of the dynasties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dynasties are not FOR competition - get that part of things right. They&#39;re against competition. Multi-nationals that have largesse need to leverage their power for more largesse - because they, the untouchables - are the inefficients in the economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One last thing for youze dot-com economists that like to call people out with Limbaugh ditto-head label-makers. Supply side has two components : there&#39;s production of supply and distribution of supply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s natural for efficiency to result in one toy-maker making all Elmo dolls ... but the people claiming to speak for &quot;supply-side&quot; are schemers and control-seekers that want control of distribution. (Hello Wal*Mart).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Globalists are not pushing for universality of an idea. Universalism is dead - it died with the invasion of Afghanistan IMHO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What will result is the ability for a bunch of silver-spooned criminal minds to cut off oil supplies to countries that pass &quot;socialized&quot; health care, or dare to expropriate land from multinational companies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That spells an OPEC of Neo-Cons &amp; Likud-Zionists ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They want control of the economic highway between China and North America ... that&#39;s why the US builds 10-12 new aircraft carriers per year - because the croniy network that has control of the US - the &quot;Anglo-American Establishment and Friends&quot;, in the end, want what Rockefeller wanted and other Monopoly Men : in the end, they want ownership of nothing but control of everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If they were saving children, or doing something noble with that excess - who would complain ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They&#39;re using that control of everything to leverage ... you guessed it, ownership. Favourtism for those they consider pets ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Them and Us will forever be confused by C2C-AM ... and the non-stop hystericization (hysterization) seeks only to create priorities above poverty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, fund those priorities (industries, really) and then, when in opposition, simply stand back and say, &quot;hey, look, we paid for flying cars and all NASA gave us was TANG - so government is the problem&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is the real conspiracy about the Moon Hoax the fact that NASA didn&#39;t provide the public with anymore proof than they absolutely (grudgingly) had to ... and all the rest was dark-archived, to be accessed by black-projects under the CIA and dark entities that Wall Street has control over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the fruit of capitalism ? Technology, invention, innovation ... so what would you keep secret from the Russians and only share with the most hard-line capitalists during a Cold War ? A cold War that was 44yrs of non-stop propaganda ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anything that would lead to invention ... or propel the (wrong kind of) thinking mind forward ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, is that such a wacky conspiracy ? What I&#39;ve seen established by the Moon Hoaxters is that they&#39;re belligerent media whores with one fact : NASA didn&#39;t turn over enough evidence that would hold up in court - to establish they did what they said they did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did NASA actually do it ? Unknowable without a direct refutation by NASA that involves better evidence - instead of &quot;you were told&quot; and a laundry list of moon dirt &amp; proof that has already been questioned beyond a reasonable doubt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Absolute proof requires giving out all files, all records and all details. If that results in a rug-pilot taking a magic carpet ride to the Moon before the stars &amp; stripes, well, so be it. The US was never great because of suppression, or squatting on the heads of others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I give the rasberry cheer to both sides of the moon debate.  Yes, too much of NASA was military and not enough was &quot;national&quot; ... and industry&#39;s &quot;super-collider&quot; assembly enabled too many $125 screwdrivers.  Plus, look at the Ken Johnston&#39;s of the Space Program, who fake their PhD&#39;s and spell diploma as &quot;deploma&quot;.  Anyone in NASA with a real &quot;deploma&quot; has gotta be cringing.  They were likely screened for their eye colour and their willingness to worship Men in black robes.  For insurance purposes, they probably had to have at least one merit-based astro=nut per flight.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/feeds/5365873754023372192/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35640088&amp;postID=5365873754023372192&amp;isPopup=true' title='194 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/5365873754023372192'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/5365873754023372192'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/2009/05/black-death.html' title='Black Death'/><author><name>Cultural Captivity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08824450176261887467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SfRJ3FUdGHI/AAAAAAAAAOE/jeQR7tDuNoQ/S220/picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words.jpg'/></author><thr:total>194</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35640088.post-8595958307065845747</id><published>2009-04-04T19:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-04T19:54:41.366-07:00</updated><title type='text'>anon via stratagem</title><content type='html'>Dozens of emails everyday (forwarded from Place) all inevitably leading to the exact same thing.

Judaism is a religion with lotsa stuff written by drunk perverts in black robes and lotsa people.  Labels need to fit, or else they are (easily) de-bunked and, as a result, the only label that sticks reads, &quot;see, I told ya&quot; in whatever colour best reflects victimhood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We&#39;re seeing war-hawks commit war-crimes because the Neo-Con Agenda is dead.  Cowboy diplomacy is over and Israel&#39;s great concession will be giving orders to stop the mass murder.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To call someone who is clearly a war-hawk a name ... requires more creativity than calling him a &quot;Jew&quot;.  Calling them a Joo is doing the Zionists bidding because they would very much like the public to think all Jews are Zionists.  It seems their PR team succeeded in duping critics, who willingly step on the landmine.  This provides the war-hawks with cover and totally exposes their critics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The insularity of the Jewish community already gives the war-hawk plotters enough cover ... but it&#39;s more fun (or more lazy) to just say the whole Temple is &quot;in on it&quot;.  Think about it : if you were about to change US policy in the Mid-East ... wouldn&#39;t you imagine yourself needing debating points, like, &quot;I&#39;m not anti-Semitic - I hired Rahm Emanuel and AIPAC likes me&quot;.  I would.  How would you go about getting yourself those debating points ?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If an appointee happens to be pro-Zionist - well, does Obama strike you as the type of guy who is afraid of lively discussion ?  All the appointment means is, the pro-Zionist sympathizer is, today, probably satisfied with US mid-east policy, but in the future, he/she probably won&#39;t be so happy about it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will the US Jewish Community oppose Obama&#39;s change in Mid-East policy ?  If so, Obama&#39;s Administration will have some Ambassadors to deploy and sell the new US policy (one that Israel doesn&#39;t like).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another red herring : Khazaria.  The State-craft of the Khazars is interesting and will add to history.  The DNA is already known.  Jews poured into Khazaria from the Holy Lands, joining the ones that seeded the religion into the State (sent there by Nebuchadnezzar and others).  The people with the legitimate (hereditary) claim are among the people we call the Ashkenazi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe President Obama&#39;s first act will be to turn Crawford, Texas into a nuclear test site ...</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/feeds/4984709553306836390/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35640088&amp;postID=4984709553306836390&amp;isPopup=true' title='968 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/4984709553306836390'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/4984709553306836390'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/2009/01/fettered-capitalism-is-not-used-very.html' title='Unfettered Obama'/><author><name>Cultural Captivity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08824450176261887467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SfRJ3FUdGHI/AAAAAAAAAOE/jeQR7tDuNoQ/S220/picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words.jpg'/></author><thr:total>968</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35640088.post-7703298254083171420</id><published>2008-12-02T03:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-02T03:46:18.896-08:00</updated><title type='text'>President Obama a gun-grabber ?</title><content type='html'>Alex Jones has already got Obama as a gun-grabber who&#39;s &quot;in on it&quot; with the private bankers.  It&#39;s been a while since I heard the chubby little guy do his fear-mongering routine.  I noticed Alex doesn&#39;t say &quot;the guvvermint&quot; as much as he used to.  That was the early days and &quot;the guvvermint&quot; was a precursor to the next step : making the enemy external and something the people will love to hate : private bankers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The enemy is both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Externally&lt;/b&gt;, yes, believe what you read from the Economic Hit Man and others.  The US de-stabilizes countries it&#39;s not ready to incorporate into its Empire.  On the other hand, there are the Marxists like Christopher Hitchens, who sell-out when they realize there are countries whose billionaires are not out to kill our billionaires - but rather, they want to kill our billionaires source of wealth.  Our economy - via OPEC or whatever else works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Capitalism is what enables (enabled) Europe and Western civilization to dominate.  However, we don&#39;t have transparency between the established powers (old money) between one another, or between them and the government.  There&#39;s a section of the power structure we can&#39;t see (the fascist element) and what can&#39;t be seen or talked about, can&#39;t be exported.  So, when we export our economics and political science, we&#39;re exporting a faulty product.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alex Jones does quote from authors I think are for real ... so he&#39;s probably going to be disgraced when a smoother and slicker PR campaign can be figured out.  I don&#39;t know how often Alex quotes from the guys I think are for real, so my opinion is not as qualified as it once was (about Alex Jones).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Internally&lt;/b&gt;, Alex is completely out to lunch.  He has never said anything that makes any sense at all, it&#39;s just straight at you with conspiracy techie-talk - jingly jangly hypenated nonsense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone know where I can find a critical look at how Alex Jones and his Prison Planet mafia got started ?  I haven&#39;t looked, but from what I gathered a few years ago, he started off yelling abut Bohemian Grove into a bull-horn outside George Bush jr&#39;s Governor&#39;s Mansion in Austin, Texas.  About 11yrs ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what is the military ordered to do internally, besides grab guns, rape women &amp; kill children ?  Maintain the external boundaries of the (plural) United States and, if necessary, put down domestic insurrections &amp; support the police.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Military is also responsible for INSTITUTIONAL SURVIVAL.  If you were the first guy that the military thought to put in charge of &quot;Institutional Survival&quot; and you had a Library card, you would very quickly discover that your transcontinental Empire would more likely break up city by city - rather than State by State.  Anyone who studies Empires knows that trans-continental Empires break-up into city-states.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The US was supposed to be a collective of non-monarchist States protecting each other.  The bald eagle is the only bird of prey that doesn&#39;t prey upon other eagles, right ?  Other democracies were safe ... and somewhere along the way, it switched tracks ... and the monuments at CIA Hdq are of the Scotsman Adam Smith - who wrote about capitalism in 1776.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Democracy isn&#39;t the criteria anymore - it&#39;s economics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can all disagree on Zionism and Sovereignty, but we all benefit when we compare notes and track the change-over of the ideals : from the good of the common to the good of the market (with the usual suspects parked at the top).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Department of Defence has its own traditions.  They promote based on who the leadership thinks can fight the NEXT war.  Those fighting the LAST war are passed over.  Anyone who thinks they&#39;re off-track on this topic, ask yourself : do you suppose anyone at the Department of National Defence is reading books on Imperialism ?  I do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alex Jones is all wet.  The next war will not be the encirclement of cities for a medeval siege.  It will be the securing transportation on highways.  That tanker of oil &amp; gasoline travelling through a rural area that (for whatever reason) doesn&#39;t have any access to oil or gasoline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone in the military would also know that cities are regularly wiped out by plagues and disease.  Keeping order is critical to prevent spreading of disease.  When confronted with a plague, the main advantage the US has over the Third World : organization.  Of people.  Distribution of medicine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not a big fan of B-movies, but anyone who is, could probably identify many plague scenarios, where the people are desperate for food, a cure for a wasting disease, or something badly needed.  If those are scenarios that the DND has put some thought into, I would imagine Iraq-style convoys with machine guns mounted onto Hummers.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Control of the US highways is very much a US military concern.  Just because Washington sends its troops to fight two major wars, doesn&#39;t mean the US should forfeit its role on the North American continent - specifically, the what happened at New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That doesn&#39;t mean that Alex is entirely wrong.  It&#39;s just the priorities and planning is way over-simplified and painted as &quot;evil&quot;.  The US military has a plan - and you can tell by &lt;b&gt;where&lt;/b&gt; they invest their energy &lt;b&gt;what&lt;/b&gt; potential events they are guarding against.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The devolution from Empire to city-state did not always result in a thousand petty princes.  The key is transportation and communications.  There&#39;s a good reason they&#39;re Federal.  An in-tact United States could withdraw from some of its superpower duties and only do business with cities in its far-flung Empire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The trans-ocean Empire of 700 military bases outside the USA would give way to the Emeritus Years that WWI and WWII denied the British.  The long twilight of Empire is when you reach the Golden Age.  Is it so hard to imagine a continentalist attitude closing the several hundred of those 700 bases while doing what the British did - keep strategic straits and (at all costs) retain control of the seas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He who controls the seas ... rules the world.  That country will always be able to project its power, punish its enemies quickly and punch above its weight class with other Empires.  By this strategy, the main opponent to your Empire = China.  Well, they can make our Happy Meal toys, learn English and copy our movies all they want - by this strategy, they&#39;ll be a blob on the map, a sphere of influence, but forever a regional power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That&#39;s the best a military can do ... they can&#39;t make every American a master and every Asian &amp; African a slave.  The military follows orders, but don&#39;t assume the US military can be easily subverted or pushed around by &#39;private banks&#39; the way Alex Jones assumes is possible.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would the military put down a revolt ?  Yeah, they would ... but how many ?  Well, how many cities in the USA ?  There are about 50 cities with more than 1,000,000.  One city for every star on the flag.  Would the US military put down 50 insurrections ?  How many cities would they sweep for guns ?  50 ?  100 ?  All of them ?  Come on, Alex.  You&#39;re talking a 10yr project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hanging on to the technological edge is another story.  The US military is planning to ensure the US exit strategy from the world stage happens without a World War - but while the Adam Smith religion is expanding, the US military has a different job.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/feeds/7703298254083171420/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35640088&amp;postID=7703298254083171420&amp;isPopup=true' title='200 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/7703298254083171420'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/7703298254083171420'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/2008/12/president-obama-gun-grabber.html' title='President Obama a gun-grabber ?'/><author><name>Cultural Captivity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08824450176261887467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SfRJ3FUdGHI/AAAAAAAAAOE/jeQR7tDuNoQ/S220/picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words.jpg'/></author><thr:total>200</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35640088.post-2776427149800382277</id><published>2008-11-03T11:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-03T11:47:16.618-08:00</updated><title type='text'>President Obama</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;

ship disappearances.  My question is a simple one : electro-magnetic energy emanates from the Earth, but does it emanate equally from every location ?  Can we find reliable ways to measure and observe the patterns of electro-magnetic emanation ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My interest in electro-magnetism grew out of a greater interest in maps.  When I lived in Inuvik, NWT in my early teens, I knew that compasses were a tool used by surveyors, but I also knew that compasses were useless where I was, near the North Magnetic Pole.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My interest in electro-magnetism was rekindled as as an adult because I kept bumping into stories about &#39;energy vortexes&#39; on radio, in books and later, on-line.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such theories would typically use pencil lines on National Geographic maps.  Others went one step further to use pins and string on a globe, but the starting point of these theories is to presume that ancient sites chosen for monuments and Great Works were on top of these vortex locations and for whatever reason, these &#39;chakras&#39; are equidistant from one another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;ve been plotting ancient megaliths and asking myself questions since I was a teenager without television.  The use of megaliths to pose questions or propose answers is not the rub.  The problem is beginning with the premise that physics is all wrong and that a secret science is being suppressed.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Belief in a science that has been lost, suppressed or forgotten is just too much suspension of disbelief, even for me.  I will continue to remain curious about cavity resonance and our magnetic field, for as long as there is a moulten iron crystal resonating at 7Hz in the Earth&#39;s core.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the why, we still don&#39;t know because we need more clues to help us understand how the Earth was formed, or made.  Polonium halos explains that the granite basement floor of all continents was formed or crystallized in about four minutes.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do we know that the granite blocks for monuments were not POURED rather than cut with high-pressure water-saws and dragged hundreds of miles with logs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mapping is about representing the contour of where the ocean meets the land, or where water meets granite.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The continents are BILLIONS of years old, while the ocean floor is estimated to be between ZERO yrs old to 65 MILLION yrs old.  We find sea-fossils on land and we find nothing in the oceans except wrecked ships.  That means that the Earth is expanding and monuments, obelisks, temples and other ancient Earth markers are like stakes driven into a glacier, to observe the movement of ice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The geographic, or mathematical center of landmass on Earth is the cross-hairs on an Azimuthal Equidistant Projection map.  The main flaw with this type of map (used by pilots and for radio transmitters) is that distortions increase as you move further away from the center.  Working with this projection on a global scale, the map-maker&#39;s job is to find the point on the Earth where the landmass is closest to the center, (putting the distortion in the ocean) AND the landmass can be divided into four parts, with an equal amount of landmass in each quarter.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is only one type of map projection that requires a center (0,0).  Both sons of Abraham agree with this ancient wisdom, as both the Bible and the Quran declare Jerusalem to be the center of the world, the center of the nations etc.  Before Muslims kneeled to Mecca, they faced Jerusalem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jerusalem is an interesting place.  &lt;br /&gt;Destroyed 2x.  &lt;br /&gt;Beseiged 22x.  &lt;br /&gt;Captured &amp; Recaptured 44x.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My interest is primarily its location and geodetic position, while I harbor suspicions that its political position is based on ancient wisdom.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the August 2008 issue of National Geographic, an article about near Earth objects showed a map of craters on planet Earth and there are no meteor strikes near Jerusalem.  I was surprised because I had heard  the land around Sodom or Gomorrah would not grow anything.  People turning to stone.  The Bible is full of phenomenon, any one of which could have been caused by something falling from the sky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It started me to wondering about the center of landmass on a spinning planet.  Would that position attract or repel incoming projectiles ?  Or have no effect ?  What can we learn from studying the patterns of projectile strikes on planet Earth ?  There&#39;s orbit, rotation, the magnetic field, precession to consider.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haida maps from the Queen Charlotte Islands show Hudson&#39;s Bay as North and their ancient accounts that Hudson&#39;s Bay was once the Pole Position, is supported by the craters of Northern Quebec, the magnetite around Northern Labrador and the greatest series of inland lakes and waterways in the world.  The science that supports the Haida maps would seem to imply that incoming projectiles are (or can be) attracted to the Poles.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/feeds/1577122911353293002/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35640088&amp;postID=1577122911353293002&amp;isPopup=true' title='603 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/1577122911353293002'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/1577122911353293002'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/2008/10/de-scriptore.html' title='De Scriptore'/><author><name>Cultural Captivity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08824450176261887467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SfRJ3FUdGHI/AAAAAAAAAOE/jeQR7tDuNoQ/S220/picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words.jpg'/></author><thr:total>603</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35640088.post-283940538192647467</id><published>2008-08-01T02:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-01T02:42:01.966-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Treaties etc</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp3.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SJLZ7PD72HI/AAAAAAAAAJU/mJoMkChYITk/s1600-h/score.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp3.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SJLZ7PD72HI/AAAAAAAAAJU/mJoMkChYITk/s320/score.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229481729009113202&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Queen has Power over Turtle Island ... and the Indians (feather, not dot) have Control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ergo,&lt;br /&gt;The map is not the territory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Treaty is subject to International Law.

Besides, he&#39;s good enough, he&#39;s smart enough and doggone it, less experienced plus less connected to the commoner equals a 2nd or 3rd place finish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SDu3ArxrxpI/AAAAAAAAAIs/LdC04-O8LQ0/s1600-h/Tree+of+Letters.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SDu3ArxrxpI/AAAAAAAAAIs/LdC04-O8LQ0/s320/Tree+of+Letters.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204955016735737490&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/feeds/6911394580464067576/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35640088&amp;postID=6911394580464067576&amp;isPopup=true' title='808 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/6911394580464067576'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/6911394580464067576'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/2008/05/tree-of-letters.html' title='Tree of Letters'/><author><name>Cultural Captivity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08824450176261887467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SfRJ3FUdGHI/AAAAAAAAAOE/jeQR7tDuNoQ/S220/picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SDu6dLxrxqI/AAAAAAAAAI0/qcL9kFTRAQ0/s72-c/eagle2.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>808</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35640088.post-8492821143339516262</id><published>2008-04-15T10:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-15T11:23:53.042-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Nutters and Obama</title><content type='html'>Warning to shock-jocks and bullshit-bloggers : sometimes, when you try to haul too much bullshit into the public market at one time ... bad things can happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SATx_f_PdaI/AAAAAAAAAIc/S3lQPTGaP9M/s1600-h/tippy.gif&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SATx_f_PdaI/AAAAAAAAAIc/S3lQPTGaP9M/s320/tippy.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189538743858460066&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nobody in their right mind could believe all the BS being flung at Obama.  Comedians posing as investigative journalists that see no conflict with anti-social billionaires being President - their job is to say that anyone else would be worse.  Period.  Nobody could possibly believe all their gay fantasies and elitist rationalizations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A while ago, when there was sabre rattling by the War Hawks to achieve perpetual war by bombing or invading Iran, Obama pointed out that there were higher priority targets in Pakistan.  Words used to defuse the War hawks are twisted into War Hawkishness ... that&#39;s irony.  If anyone has proof that Obama is a war hawk and that these paid shills are correct, or even close to accurate - please feel free to provide it.  As we all know, there is a BIG difference between real hard evidence and conclusions that come from some paranoid loser&#39;s imagination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Woe to the losers that believe everything they hear on Big Money Radio ... and the planted aristocratic delusions of conspiracy web-sites.  The vested interests who fear a coherent Will of the People ... and the big mouths paid to reflect the (cough cough gag) &quot;public will&quot; are upset that the people aren&#39;t following their carrot, or paying attention to their wedge issues.  The tantrums of Limbaugh are a good example.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I pay attention to Obama speeches because the watch-dogs are all paid shills that can NOT be trusted to tell the truth.  It&#39;s better to get a sense of a future great President from a speech than from a conspiracy web-site.  Their goal is to put sand in the vaseline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama&#39;s Mom was a Hippie ... well, that&#39;s not going to convince anyone not to vote for him - being a Hippie is a good thing.  Would you rather she was Barbara (Astrodome) Bush ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His Dad was an Arab/Black from Kenya : who cares ?  My Dad is a complete idiot at times and I can&#39;t understant how I could ever be related to him ... and he works for the bad guys while telling everyone that he helped win the Cold War.  I&#39;m nothing like my father and that&#39;s a good thing.  I wouldn&#39;t expect Barrack to be anything like his father.  Intelligence comes from mitochondrial DNA anyways - from the mother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The President should be chosen on merit.  Everything else is just blowing smoke or blowing hot air (depending whether you&#39;re a hippie or not).  When you read their description of what&#39;s wrong with Obama - there are little expressions in there that show the process that the truth has undergone ...... and it shows who the writer thinks he is talking to.  Barrack is the product of a &quot;lustful union&quot; ... hmmm ... now that I think of it, there&#39;s only 5 months between my parents wedding anniversary and my sister&#39;s birthday.  Should we elect a test-tube baby because they don&#39;t have original sin ?  Ridiculous.  Have fun reading the articles that are dripping with jealousy because you just KNOW the writer secretly dreams about gobbling that big curry-smelling knob.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama comes from a Zionist &quot;controlled&quot; University ?  What, exactly, IS a Zionist-controlled University ?  Does it send their C &amp;amp; D &amp;amp; F students to Israel ?  Or southern Lebanon ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama worked for a Zionist-controlled Law Firm ?  Why would a Zionist-controlled Law firm hire a black/arab with a curry-smelling schlong ?  and ... if Zionism is a form of apartheid, then hiring a guy named Barrack Hussein Obama doesn&#39;t seem very &quot;zionist&quot; to me.  Declaring all graduates of the University of Chicago to be Zionists is just plain nutty.  A Law Firm owned by a Zionist is not as difficult to imagine.  Running with either story as though it were fact is cheating yourself at solitaire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Presidential power that is pointed at the commoners can also be turned against the elitists.  The President is the fireman holding the hose - he decides where the fire is and what to douse with power.  The sins of the father shall not be visited upon the son.  The precedent for that : George Bush 41 &amp;amp; 43.  I realize Goerge Bin Bush has been President for 7.5yrs and Leaders are expected to fail upwards ... but until they mandate that candidates for President first obtain a Pro-Israel Lobby membership, there has to be  room left for merit-based promotion and earned votes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To assume that all are owned ... is to smear the good guy (Obama) with the same paint as the elitist bad guys.  To introduce a culture of futility ... a negative inoculation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SATybf_PdbI/AAAAAAAAAIk/wI-5QPSuL2Y/s1600-h/sunk.gif&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SATybf_PdbI/AAAAAAAAAIk/wI-5QPSuL2Y/s320/sunk.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189539224894797234&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...don&#39;t take on too much unproveable material.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The funniest thing about the Obama scuttle-butt : the writers typically imagine him blowing some guy because he&#39;s a &quot;crowd pleaser&quot; - well, isn&#39;t that just a little bit ... GAY ?  Just because you notice 80% of voters are against the war and promise to grant their wish ... does not make you gay.  I worked with a lot of &#39;fags&#39; when I worked as a radio operator for BC Tel - they liked to fantasize about Mel Gibson and Kevin Costner almost as much as these conspiracy nutters think about Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If these conspiracy writers read their speech in a crowded theatre, the consensus would be to laugh them out of the room.  People reading in their dark bedroom are less likely to laugh out loud .... especially the people who are only reading the story because they&#39;re closet homosexuals and find it tittillating.  If Obama were in their livingrooms, they&#39;d strip him down and sniff his butt for sperm ... and probably try to insert/deposit some of their own while they&#39;re back there with flash-lights looking for KY residue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He&#39;s a Zionist.  He&#39;s an Arab.  I know - he&#39;s worse - he&#39;s an Arab Zionist !!  Even though he&#39;s got black skin, we&#39;re supposed to see a Sheikh&#39;s head-towel, or an evil Jew - depending which one irritates you more.  I know that when I saw pictures of &lt;a href=&quot;http://hotlineblog.nationaljournal.com/archives/obamaatbeach.jpg&quot;&gt;Obama running on a Hawaii beach&lt;/a&gt;, I was immediately suspicious because everyone knows from his skin colour : he can&#39;t swim.  (a-hoo-hoo-hoo)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lesson : limp criticism of Obama will tell you more about the writer than it will tell you about the future President.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/feeds/8492821143339516262/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35640088&amp;postID=8492821143339516262&amp;isPopup=true' title='983 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/8492821143339516262'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/8492821143339516262'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/2008/04/nutters-and-obama.html' title='The Nutters and Obama'/><author><name>Cultural Captivity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08824450176261887467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SfRJ3FUdGHI/AAAAAAAAAOE/jeQR7tDuNoQ/S220/picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SATx_f_PdaI/AAAAAAAAAIc/S3lQPTGaP9M/s72-c/tippy.gif" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>983</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35640088.post-4229417401854325551</id><published>2008-02-27T22:12:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-28T01:39:52.930-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Pan Y Circo</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/R8Z2QwrblLI/AAAAAAAAAHk/7GeOwjFM5F8/s1600-h/41-42-43.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/R8Z2QwrblLI/AAAAAAAAAHk/7GeOwjFM5F8/s320/41-42-43.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171951252398642354&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who would have thought a broken rib would make carrying a baby so painful.  But Alas, it appears I am healing.  One thing I&#39;ve noticed while in constant aching pain ... isn&#39;t it amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world EXACTLY fits the newspaper and EXACTLY fits the TV News ... wow!  Synchronicity or what, eh ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My interest is not the cylclical power struggles of US politics.  My beef is with lying, specifically paid liars and institutional lies.  With elitists, lying is tolerated if it is for tactical and/or monetary gain.  A pathological liar will alway lie, whereas an elitist is willing to tell the truth, but only if it happens to be an advantageous strategy.  An elitist is willing to tell a lie &quot;via-stratagem&quot;, but a pathological liar is only prone to telling lies like tourette&#39;s people are prone to burst out swear words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An elitist sees two classes of people : Gods and Clods.  Aristocrats and Peasants.  To the Clods, he will give lip service to the common morality (do tell the truth, don&#39;t steal etc) but he doesn&#39;t actually live by these rules.  They live above them ... with the other Gods.   Also elevated to this strata are actors, musicians, athletes - having no opinions on anything, they make great sycophants and safe targets for popular obsession and hero worship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp3.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/R8Z2YArblMI/AAAAAAAAAHs/Gkwx3pk4ke0/s1600-h/Emma_Bunton.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp3.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/R8Z2YArblMI/AAAAAAAAAHs/Gkwx3pk4ke0/s320/Emma_Bunton.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171951376952693954&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, why are our mainstream media outlets still judging Dubya Bin Bush as a commoner ? Why does MSNBC track the 935 confrimed lies that led to the Iraq War, when we all know that these elitists don&#39;t play by the rules of common morality. If we expected them to, we would have impeached Bush after the first lie was exposed. It&#39;s about time the mainstream media stopped this theatre, where 1950s expectations has an ongoing argument with the reality and real-politik of 2008. I&#39;m not an Olbermann worshipper, although I think he says things that need to be said. I have mixed thoughts on the moral outrage stories that always presume that (in politics) a lie is a bad thing ... when we&#39;re dealing with Class Warriors who consider political lies to be on par with used-car salesman type business lies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why not articulate the REAL code that these country club bumpkins live by ?  We all know the rules for the peasantry - those rules are actually enforced, if not by coercion, then by shunning.  Bush is just the nearest example I could think of - but are his parents disappointed or ashamed that their son is proven to be such an insufferable LIAR ?  Or responsible for 600,000 civilian deaths ?  My Mom wouldn&#39;t be too happy.  What about Dubya&#39;s Mom ?  When Bush lies, is that just business ?  He&#39;s not a bad boy, he&#39;s just ambitious .... and not a traitor to his class.  Like FDR and them New Dealers.  Bush and Cheney apply the businessman&#39;s interpretation of the Law to their jobs and apply those standards to one another.  There&#39;s a wink and a nod whenever the two worlds come close to conflicting ... and when the Senate comes sniffing, to try to enforce some of those Rules for Peasants ... emails are purged, papers get shredded and these liars are &lt;b&gt;promoted&lt;/b&gt; &quot;heckuva job Brownie&quot;.  This is definitely not the level of morality that the peasants are taught.  It&#39;s outright Machiavellian - the end justifies the means.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prior to the 2000 Election and subsequent appointment of Dubya Bin Bush, most would have agreed with the statement, &quot;Americans resent nepotism and favourtism&quot;.  Is that true generally ... among the peasants ?  Yes.  Is that true among the Executive Class ?  No, not at all, in fact it&#39;s preferred.  Why ?  Simple.  The guy who inherited $5B has brothers and sisters who inherited similar amounts and maybe cousins too - all connected to others with similar fortunes &amp;amp; influence.  Why does the public tolerate the double standard ?  Elitists gain a critical mass for change in the public square thru the secret societies created since the Book of Constitutions in 1717.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp1.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/R8Z2fgrblNI/AAAAAAAAAH0/qJy-RyqMccg/s1600-h/shriners_3.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp1.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/R8Z2fgrblNI/AAAAAAAAAH0/qJy-RyqMccg/s320/shriners_3.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171951505801712850&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This self-styled Executive Class needs to be challenged and brought to heel.  First, the White House needs to be occupied by someone that isn&#39;t trying to widen the gap between rich and poor.  That would be a good start, even if the guy is mulatto and his middle name is Hussein.  A real do-gooder that will then start the process of legislating and regulating - the long winding road towards making sure capitalists are subject to the rule of law.  Making sure there are stiff penalties for bad stuff and a criminalization of really bad (anti-social) stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Obama campaign just surpassed the 1,000,000 donor mark, raising $50,000,000 ... that&#39;s a lot of &lt;b&gt;change&lt;/b&gt; ... and &lt;b&gt;hope&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of Western Civilization needs to stop tolerating the double standard - and apply morality to business.  If capitalism is to be the new religion foist upon the world (for better or worse) - then how about, let&#39;s make it a good one.  Corporate Greed needs to be discouraged with penalties and time in JAIL - those monuments to the redemptive power of forced sodomy.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/feeds/4229417401854325551/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35640088&amp;postID=4229417401854325551&amp;isPopup=true' title='640 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/4229417401854325551'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/4229417401854325551'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/2008/02/pan-y-circo.html' title='Pan Y Circo'/><author><name>Cultural Captivity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08824450176261887467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SfRJ3FUdGHI/AAAAAAAAAOE/jeQR7tDuNoQ/S220/picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/R8Z2QwrblLI/AAAAAAAAAHk/7GeOwjFM5F8/s72-c/41-42-43.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>640</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35640088.post-5389831436155964846</id><published>2008-01-24T22:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-24T23:38:17.552-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Technology and Empire</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/R5mN7ARfyYI/AAAAAAAAAG8/wF69XPJz3o0/s1600-h/enclosed.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/R5mN7ARfyYI/AAAAAAAAAG8/wF69XPJz3o0/s320/enclosed.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159310892954798466&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Canada was created by an interplay between world Empires and it&#39;s impossible to understand Canada, or what it means to be Canadian without first understanding this interplay.  The big prize for these Empires was not our few acres of snow, but the Economic shipping lanes that our resources fed into.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To understand the Empires, we need to separate what they did on the ground from spirit (inspiration) that drove them.  The real interest was not the land, but the water and extending the British Maritime Law, or Law of the Seas.  To control the shipping lanes means dictating the rules of trade, currency and ultimately, the economic system of countries fronting onto these shipping lanes plus simultaneous control over key points : Singapore, Gibraltar, Hormuz, leading to man-made bottle-necks, like the Suez Canal.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What kind of economy do we have today ?  An oil economy.  It&#39;s not illogical to assume that the old money in the Empire would find its way into this industry.  They are a modern Black Nobility : today, they choose to denominate their resource into the American green-back, but in future, that could change.  If the US dollar proves to be no longer profitable, they will simply switch currencies and find another flag of convenience.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Federal Reserve Board is not their problem, nor is the public debt run up to fight their wars.  Those who own oil have a license to print money and are insulated from gossip, such as who loans money to the Queen.  If Europe doesn&#39;t pay, then simply go sell your oil to China or India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The great philosophers sought to emancipate greed, but this maxim has become dogma and an obsession taken to extremes never imagined.  Wall Street Public Relations, backed by decades of CIA mind control techniques and SRI studies have penetrated the public consciousness.  They conditioned the population (that pay for wars and send their kids to fight them) to rationalize the death of foreign innocents - even make jokes about it.  Too many Americans would rather kill people (Vietnamese, Iraqis etc) than let them live outside the American sphere of influence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Empires require control of the genius mind because what it really needs is control over technology.  Today, we have an oil economy worldwide because of the homogenizing and universalizing power of technology.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/R5mOBgRfyZI/AAAAAAAAAHE/A0ro9_US7u0/s1600-h/Landscape+-+Bora+Bora+Lagoon+with+Catamaran+-+French+Polynesia.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/R5mOBgRfyZI/AAAAAAAAAHE/A0ro9_US7u0/s320/Landscape+-+Bora+Bora+Lagoon+with+Catamaran+-+French+Polynesia.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159311004623948178&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/feeds/5389831436155964846/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35640088&amp;postID=5389831436155964846&amp;isPopup=true' title='992 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/5389831436155964846'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/5389831436155964846'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/2008/01/canada-was-created-by-interplay-between.html' title='Technology and Empire'/><author><name>Cultural Captivity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08824450176261887467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SfRJ3FUdGHI/AAAAAAAAAOE/jeQR7tDuNoQ/S220/picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/R5mN7ARfyYI/AAAAAAAAAG8/wF69XPJz3o0/s72-c/enclosed.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>992</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35640088.post-5166979128103481420</id><published>2007-12-14T21:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-12-31T01:16:58.245-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Precepts</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/R2NimuihwQI/AAAAAAAAAGg/x0-RRQpd334/s1600-h/12Inch_Discharge1a.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/R2NimuihwQI/AAAAAAAAAGg/x0-RRQpd334/s320/12Inch_Discharge1a.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144063616854638850&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parlty motivated by the flu, Christmas and movie-making - as the comments approach 1,000 in the previous Blog, I decided to post what I&#39;ve got.  I had planned to try to name the game being played by the poodles dressed up as watch-dogs over at Dark Mission, but never got through the mumbo-jumbo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Vegas, the House will &quot;fight luck&quot; by changing dealers and there&#39;s other quirky superstitions too - like, no dealer is allowed to wear white socks.  When RCH invokes Brookings, or Freemasonry, it&#39;s not because it&#39;s true.  It&#39;s because he wants to convince others that he thinks it&#39;s true.  RCH knows he&#39;s paid by neither of these groups - he&#39;s paid by Lambert Dolphin&#39;s successors at Stanford Research International (formerly Stanford Research Institute) who, in turn, get their money from the Central Intelligence Agency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RCH has lost all credibility in the Blogophere, so he can&#39;t &quot;do&quot; Blogs anymore.  This is why Dark Mission readers who seek out the authors online will be subjected to the world&#39;s worst Public Relations man ever - co-author, Mike Bara.  Oh sure, the royalty cheques from the publisher will clear and Mike will feel pretty good in line at the bank ... but, assuming most people don&#39;t like being lied to, or misled,  where will he ever be able to show his face ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mike drooled, lied and took a path that I once refused to take, so my interest in their lead balloon is slightly different than most.  Mike sought it out.  Now, his job is to bully &amp; slander REAL journalists, like James Oberg, who (by applying the most basic journalism techniques for verification) accidentally expose their book &quot;Dark Mission&quot; for what it is : trumped up stories sprayed with asbestos secrecy.  It is toxic for anyone wasting their time to read the book, or believe for a moment anything that book tells them to believe.  I saw this coming when I posted referenced questions about the missing 410yrs between the Templars (1307 to 1717) and the Freemasons.  I also asked about the missing 1,400yrs of &quot;connectedness&quot; between the last Pharoah (300BC) and the Templars (AD1099).  Yet, they continue to claim an unbroken chain between Ancient Egypt &amp; pyramid techniques - no curiousity at all about what the real history says, or what their detractors and critics might say.  They don&#39;t plan on handling critics with the truth, or even a cogent interpretation of the truth.  From the beginning, it was gonna rely on the social science of Hollywoodisms &amp; Cold War propaganda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You could just tell that the Dark Mission architects didn&#39;t care about the truth.  The authors are paid shills and professional liars who exploit everyone by flooding the marketplace of ideas with sludge ... we&#39;re at the part where they scare away anyone capable of doing water-quality analysis (to try and figure out where the sludge comes from).  Financially they&#39;re only exploiting the shut-ins who were shut-in before the InterNet and don&#39;t read reviews of books unless they bump into them in Reader&#39;s Digest.  They&#39;re preying on people who are Christmas shopping for relatives that are vaguely interested in outer space.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, for Mike Bara, he will not enjoy the same free ride that RCH got from the ALT science types - from 1960s to present.  RCH dragged all those idealistic Trekkies into war-hawk territory, where it&#39;s perfectly normal and very sexy for secret Intell organizations to oversee black budgets, with-hold technology and channel public money into secret &amp; anti-social objectives.  If any of those Black Ops class-warrior idiots had a Romulan cloaking device, anti-gravity or whatever they want us to believe they&#39;ve got through their PR-men Mike Bara and Richard C Hoagland ... they&#39;d be using the technology AGAINST Americans, to achieve social, political and legal goals.  Ergo, it would be used to contain the real super-power - the US middle and lower classes - and it would not be used against an external enemy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If they have all this wonderful technology, then why are poor boys being put onto the streets of Fallujah and Baghdad to be killed in 140*C heat ?  Because Iraq isn&#39;t a good enough reason to deploy all their technoloy ... or because external enemies are for the poor and middle class to worry about.  The loyalty of Black Ops is the same as the loyalty of the CIA ... to their base that is detached from the rest of the pyramid : Wall Street capitalists who impose a radical yet self-serving form of capitalism.  Black Ops plays with weapons that are designed to shock and awe the US public, not an external enemy.  Either they&#39;re lying and the technology doesn&#39;t exist ... or it does exist, but they&#39;re perfectly happy sending poor boys to die (in which case, one wonders whose side they&#39;re REALLY on).  They&#39;re on the sidelines hoping for a tie &amp; lots of injuries like good Malthusians.  Even if the soldiers survive and win - they lose when they come home, only to die from the side-effects of their own depleted Uranium bullets, or reactions to the enforced vaccinations, or suicide from post-traumatic stress disorder.  These are boys who should have been heroes on the scene when Katrina wiped out New Orleans - they&#39;re not the natural born killers, as war-hawk TV (Faux News) is so quick to pretend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order for Mike Bara to follow the RCH formula for establishing street-cred - he would need to get his bad self invited to NASA events, bring along a photographer and try to be photographed with lots and lots of people.  I don&#39;t see that happening, but even if it did, he would then have to sit back and hope one of those people in his photo collection becomes famous.  Then just sit back and wait for them to die, then use the photograph to claim a &quot;connectedness&quot;.  That&#39;s when the (sorry) Coast would be clear (pun intended) to become a paid name-dropper extraordinaire.  RCH easily name-drops Gene Roddenberry and Carl Sagan because they&#39;re unable to distance themselves from his comments.  Gene Roddenberry did not share RCH&#39;s lust for sexy secrecy and Carl Sagan definitely did not share his &quot;God, Man and ET&quot; hypothesis, which Space so soothing for Christians (Lambert Dolphin would be impressed) because the goal is to extend prophecy into Space.  Their bosses are the same bosses that have been directing secret societies for dozens of generations.  They use these cults for their own anti-social objectives and use them as their proxy police in the Common.  What we&#39;re really looking at here, is a generational cult indulging in generational THEFT.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is why repeating the RCH formula for PR success will be repeated (stay tuned) by Clear Channel and Premiere Radio Netowrks (PRN) - even though the Commoners have wised up.   Institutions and think-tanks repeat formulas because they really don&#39;t understand what they&#39;re pretending to understand.  Following the RCH model will get PRN or some other class warrior media giant to put a guy like Mike Bara on the air because they like a war-hawk who can pretend to speak for (or, to) the millions of Trekkies out there.  Enterprise Mission serves this purpose.  The objective of the puppeteers is to keep the Commoner busy, busy, busy and focused on survival.  This attitude of &quot;we own the frontier&quot; goes back a long time.  In the Victorian Age, according to the elitists, anyone going looking for answers on the frontier (where Mike Bara and Richard C Hoagland have published) DESERVE to be misled.  Their job is to dominate intruders who enter the space between the fence and the castle wall.  You can&#39;t get inside the fence without some knowledge, some spare time, like stay at home Dads, or the non-elitist elites who are financially independant, or the sober (which includes Muslims).  Knowing your enemy gives you the power to make poop smell like flowers, and make flowers smell like poop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever happened to the Trekkies ?  Rather than use their idealism to &quot;make it so&quot; here on Earth, these sci-fi idealists are smart enough to learn Klingon, but too detached from reality to see any reason to learn, say Arabic, Mandarin or Sanskrit.  They say nothing when a pretender usurps their movement by naming his web-site Enterprise Mission ... What would the world be like if those Trekkies had learned something serious, or gone into science ?  We will likely never know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp3.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/R2NizeihwRI/AAAAAAAAAGo/Slnc9CrXqKc/s1600-h/inspiration1.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp3.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/R2NizeihwRI/AAAAAAAAAGo/Slnc9CrXqKc/s320/inspiration1.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144063835897970962&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On another topic, which relates to the beginning of this Blog Topic : is there such a thing as luck ?  Can we develop our intuition and become better people ?  First, a quote from British Atheism, which makes sense to anyone beginning with the assumption that we know all that can be known about the bundle of electricity in our skulls, or the electrical pump in our rib-cage that sustains it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;All wild animals have to be kind of natural statisticians, looking for patterns in the apparent randomness of nature when they&#39;re looking for food, or trying to avoid predators.  There are two kinds of mistakes they can make : (a) they can either fail to detect a pattern, when there is one, or, (b) they can seem to detect pattern, when there isn&#39;t any ... and THAT is superstition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Richard Dawkins&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well said !  For the purposes of my cipher, I love it !  Through the Blogosphere, I&#39;ve encountered so many people that see or &quot;feel&quot; the potential of god-wink coincidences, like 333 because their church gives them an &quot;attaboy&quot; pat on the back for getting wobbly knees over a coincidence.  (Hi Jas333 aka Jesus).  Yet, at the same time, these same pattern-seekers fail to recognize a pattern that results in continued class warfare - and social conditions that would make Jesus angry - again - if he were to return - again.  The Christian nutters are being taught congregation by congregation that &quot;these are End Times&quot; and they&#39;re led to support silly schemes, like, &quot;let&#39;s go fulfill Bible prophecy and take (back?) Israel&quot;.  Yet, their own Good Book tells them that in the End Times, the rich will have found a way to communicate over the heads of the commoners, but interestingly, that&#39;s not on their prophecy radar.  The flock has been led away from suspecting the elitists because the Coors Family set up this incestuous unholy alliance between bad faith and the kind of extreme capitalism that makes billionaires like Warren Buffet and Mark Cuban embarrassed.  Bill Moyers has lots more info on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/12142007/watch2.html&quot;&gt;cross-ownership of media&lt;/a&gt; and he&#39;s much more angry about it than I am.  Richard Dawkins&#39; quote is worth discussing because it applies to many many many things - but not specifically to humans, which I think was his intent.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One more quote that an Anti-Theist like me isn&#39;t supposed to cite, but I reserve the right to cherry-pick because my beef is with having Ancient books interpreted for me (and for others) by fatally flawed human beings walking around an Institution in black robes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“And I will walk in liberty, for I seek Thy &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precept&quot;&gt;precepts&lt;/a&gt;.” &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Ps 119:45).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would Jesus sit in the front-row with the Scribes and Pharisees ?  I don&#39;t think so.  Would Jesus (upon his arrival or return) join the religion that calls him the Son of God ?  I don&#39;t think so.  With literacy at such high levels, I think Jesus would tell his followers to love their neighbour ... I also think he would say that there is no conspiracy other than the one to divest you of every dime you have ... and when it comes to your soul - you have to save yourself.  Do what Jesus, the philosopher, did and learn about other Religions (in my father&#39;s mansion, there are many rooms).  Most importantly, if an anti-theist were ever to become &quot;preachy&quot;, which they rarely did in the past because they valued their life - they would probably tell everyone, &quot;call no man &lt;i&gt;teacher&lt;/i&gt; and call no man &lt;i&gt;father&lt;/i&gt;&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What December Blog would be complete without some &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4csbE6bWao&quot;&gt;shameless self-promotion of my kids&lt;/a&gt; ... &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP0Sa-v0ReM&quot;&gt;there&#39;s also this one&lt;/a&gt; ... &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1vHk5pZP8I&quot;&gt;and this one too&lt;/a&gt;.  I&#39;m a film-maker whose day-job is making sure these kids turn out perfect and happy.  Neither have ever had a diaper rash, they&#39;ve never been yelled at and they have never (and will never) be spanked.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/feeds/5166979128103481420/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35640088&amp;postID=5166979128103481420&amp;isPopup=true' title='964 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/5166979128103481420'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/5166979128103481420'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/2007/12/precepts.html' title='Precepts'/><author><name>Cultural Captivity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08824450176261887467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SfRJ3FUdGHI/AAAAAAAAAOE/jeQR7tDuNoQ/S220/picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/R2NimuihwQI/AAAAAAAAAGg/x0-RRQpd334/s72-c/12Inch_Discharge1a.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>964</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35640088.post-6796140462015284080</id><published>2007-10-24T00:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-25T18:11:54.460-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Vegetables</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/Rx8U0TSepfI/AAAAAAAAAFE/o49Azcb_Mi0/s1600-h/sardine.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/Rx8U0TSepfI/AAAAAAAAAFE/o49Azcb_Mi0/s320/sardine.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124837789734446578&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wall Street capitalism was built with Public Relations, but PR is a pretty obscure topic and hard to explain without first putting down the right foundation, so I&#39;m late in throwing this out there, but here goes.  Feel free to improve, tweak, refine, and throw bouquets and bricks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is Wall Street Public Relations ?  &lt;br /&gt;What is its motivation ?  &lt;br /&gt;Who promotes these principles that trickle down to &lt;br /&gt;(a) their successor, the CIA ?&lt;br /&gt;and (&lt;br /&gt;b) the self-censorship of Hollywood ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, let&#39;s dispel the silly idea that Wall Street is about capitalism.  We don&#39;t have capitalism, we have Babylonian capitalism - which isn&#39;t capitalism at all, but an &lt;b&gt;appearance&lt;/b&gt; of capital, which is represented by currency, which is in fact, negative capital.  The US currency has the appearance of currency, but is really a token of debt and indebtedness.  That&#39;s the un-capitalism of Wall Street.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The links I&#39;ve posted here on Propaganda and Public Relations (mostly YouTube &amp; Google Video) have omitted something central to the story.  They forgot about John Rawlings Reese&#39;s TAVISTOCK experiments - to control, then subvert, then control the thinking of humans so they could be channeled in any direction desired by the Committee of 300, the Bonesmen of Yale, the Billionaire Boys Club - whatever they wanna call it.  We&#39;re talking about the tool - who wields that tool is a different story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pope Sylvester I went to India to meet the Nine Unknown Men and returned with our number system and the Mirror Mirror on the Wall (some say the first computer).  &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Jacolliot&quot;&gt;Jacolliot&lt;/a&gt; wrote in the mid 19th century about meeting the Nine Unknown Men in India, who taught him about (a) the liberation of energy, (b) sterilization by radiation, (c) propaganda, (d) psychological warfare.  Many scientists were looking at energy, but the other three were unknown &amp; unheard of in that century.  Jacolliot wrote in 1860, &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;psychological warfare is the most dangerous of all sciences, in moulding mass opinion ... because it would enable anyone to govern the whole world.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wall Street Public Relations comes from Bernays after WWI, but where did Bernays get the idea to carry on propaganda (an instrument of war) to the domestic population ?  His uncle, Sigmund Freud happened to be the guru of the City of London&#39;s Tavistock Institute.  I would suggest reading Dr John Coleman&#39;s Committee of 300 book, but only read David Icke&#39;s book for amusement &amp; insight because Tavistock, to David Icke, is where the Queen Mum shape-shifted into a 9ft reptile.  Tavistock is definitely a blind-spot among the self-appointed polemicists today and I applaud Davey Dyke for bringing it to light, so we can all see the think tank that has issued declarations of war against us.  It&#39;s just words until someone tracks the money and or establishes victimhood.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://members.iimetro.com.au/~hubbca/tavistock.htm&quot;&gt;Tavistock&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I heard it was just a rumour that Tavistock halted the US Space Program for 9yrs so that the Soviets could catch up ... but it is absolutely true that Henry Kissinger was a student of Dr. John Rawlings-Reese as a German refugee. (insert Twilight Zone theme music here)  On balance, I&#39;d say read Icke and look for the gaps - some of what he says is not far off the mark ... but it requires falling into the repitlian reality tunnel and it&#39;s not the kind of book you&#39;d want to put in your bibliography. Not that I have an opinion on reptilians, but it&#39;s not primary source and would be a big distraction when trying to sort out the economics between humans. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/Rx8UkTSepeI/AAAAAAAAAE8/oMYteuseZWo/s1600-h/diamonds_basically.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/Rx8UkTSepeI/AAAAAAAAAE8/oMYteuseZWo/s320/diamonds_basically.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124837514856539618&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rockefeller funded Sir John Rawlings-Reese &amp; Tavistock to study the US economy.  Reese got his start with Operation Research, using 80,000 WWI recruits for the British Army as guinea pigs.  This research continued thru WWII into the 1960s - and was applied to civilian management program.  The Rockefeller Foundation, being the anti-social class warriors they are, funded the Harvard Economic Research Project in 1948.  It was funding for 4 years to come up with its own model of the American Economy.  Tavistock required that Harvard follow all of Reese&#39;s &amp; Tavistock&#39;s principles &amp; methods ... which were based on the Prudential Assurance Bombing Survey Study.  The PABSS had been a (secret) calculated method of terrorism : bombing the houses of German factory workers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp1.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/Rx-eNjSephI/AAAAAAAAAFU/N7VeHsrCOD0/s1600-h/5dollarCEO.gif&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp1.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/Rx-eNjSephI/AAAAAAAAAFU/N7VeHsrCOD0/s320/5dollarCEO.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124988856619148818&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is where the historical Trans-Atlantic links between the City of London and Wall Street (Anglo-American Establishment) harmonized their message.  Wall Street was doing just fine before Tavistock, because P-R is how Americans were seduced away from isolationism.  The Harvard model is a blueprint for economic slavery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Robert McNamara, before being Defence Minister during the Vietnam War, was saying stuff like, &quot;peace and good order is being threatened by an out of control population&quot; and arguing/justifying why the wealth of the nation &lt;b&gt;had&lt;/b&gt; to be moved away from the undisciplined masses and into the control of the disciplined few.  His concerns may have been justified because the middle class was growing.  It has been in free-fall since 1975.  Robert McNamara attacked overpopulation - going into detail about ways the death rate can go up, like nuclear war followed by famine and disease.  It&#39;s just an example of how the elites &quot;hate us for our freedom&quot; and question the rights of others to exist.  It&#39;s really just a hop, skip and a jump into fascism from Malthusianism.  A twisted form of environmentalism that says the Earth can only support X people and once population growth is deemed to be out of control, it requires authoritarianism and fascism to control (reduce) it.  As RMcN would reassure us, &quot;Civil Wars can help things&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Protocols schmotocols ... to assert that a class of society schemes at an International level REQUIRES first getting a handle on how they scheme at the domestic level.  Any theory on the worldwide scale NEEDS an understanding of the regional/national scale - and if their version of events is wrong (by ignorance or deliberately) the theory should be SUSPECT.  Particularly when there is a reek of certitude in the air.  If you were a Captain of Industry, you would quickly realize that you don&#39;t NEED a peer reviewed thesis to follow advice &amp; ideas - in fact, the more wacky and unlikely the economic metaphor - the better.  This is where the academics turn to the people following the money, while the mystery guide encourages a circle jerk, or reach-around, or outright masturbation to theology, symbols and everything but following the money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The power to manipulate the media and deliver the non-consensual public culture to the Commoner&#39;s hearts &amp; minds already existed.  Their amplifiers were already in place.  The question the think tanks were wrestling with : &lt;b&gt;the probable combination of shocks&lt;/b&gt; (created events) which are &lt;b&gt;necessary to bring about complete control and sub&lt;/b&gt;joo&lt;b&gt;gation of the population by subverting the economy.&lt;/b&gt;  This is, IMHO, the most likely genesis of Naomi Klein&#39;s ideas about Shock and Terror.  I haven&#39;t read her latest books.  I&#39;m usually too weighed down when I leave the dusty sections - International Law, Surveying, History - but if anyone catches an article where she mentions Tavistock, be sure to let me know.  It could be the great not-to-be-mentioned, like the Protocols.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We dance around in a circle and suppose, &lt;br /&gt;while the truth sits in the middle and knows&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is how far I&#39;ve gotten in transcribing a section of the Tavistock mission statement from the 1930s, used to introduce itself to the Rockefellers, entrenched powers and Harvard University.  It is lengthy, but it&#39;s required reading for anyone trying to figure out what I&#39;m ranting about when I name-drop Wall Street PR and the Anglo-American Establishment in previous blogs and comments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The context should help people to colour the intent &amp; purpose of &quot;public relations&quot; - which is a form of foreign relations for the detached triangle that floats above the pyramid.  The context will also show that the &quot;energy&quot; talked about by Jacolliot is &lt;i&gt;economic&lt;/i&gt; energy and not some flight of fancy.  The CIA sends its agents to India because they have a CASTE system.  Sure, there&#39;s paintings of delta-wing fighters and mushroom clouds from thousands of years ago ... but the CIA is about propaganda, swaying public opinion, synthesizing the will of the people etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/Rx-d2zSepgI/AAAAAAAAAFM/5hcK6AOtJrQ/s1600-h/snakeoil553-thumb.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/Rx-d2zSepgI/AAAAAAAAAFM/5hcK6AOtJrQ/s320/snakeoil553-thumb.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124988465777124866&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our research has established that the simplest mode of gaining control of people is to keep them undisciplined and in the dark of basic systems and principles while at the same time keeping them disorganized, confused and distracted by issues which are of relatively little import.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to our less direct long range penetration methods, this can be accomplished by a disengagement of mental activitiesand providing low quality programs of public education in mathematics, logic, system designs and economics and by discouraging technical creativity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our mode calls for emotional stimulus, increased use of amplifiers which induce self-indulgence, whether direct (TV programs) or advertising.  We at Tavistock have found the best way to accomplish a goal is through unremitting and unrelenting emotional affrontation and attack (mental rape) through a constant barrage of sex, violence, wars, racial strife both in the electronic and print media.  This steady diet could be called &quot;mental junk food&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of primary importance is the revision of history and law and subjecting the populace to the deviant creation, thus shifting thinking from personal needs to constructed, fabricated, outside priorities.  The general rule is that there is profit in confusion, the greater the confusion, the greater the profit.  One of the ways in which this can be accomplished is to create problems, then offer solutions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is essential to divide people, keep the adults&#39; attention away from real issues and overcome their thinking with matters of relatively little importance.  The young must be kept ignorant of mathematics; the proper teaching of economics and history must never be made available.  Keep all groups so occupied with an endless round of issues and problems that they have no time to think clearly, and here, we rely on entertainment which should not reach beyond the mental capacity of a child in the sixth grade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When government is able to seize private property without just compensation, it is certain that people are ripe for surrender and consenting to slavery and legal encroachment.  Energy sources which support a primitive economy are a supply of raw materials, the consent of people to labor and assume a certain place, position, level in the structure viz., provide labor at various levels in the structure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each class, therefore guarantees its level of income and hence controls the class immediately below it, thereby preserving the class structure.  One of the best examples of this was found in the caste system in India, in which rigid control was exercised, ensuring that upward mobility which could threaten the elite at the top, was constrained.  In this method, is security and stability attained, and also a government from the top.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sovereignty of the elite is threatened when the lower classes, through commuication and education become informed and envious of the power and possessions of the class above them.  As some of them become better educated, they seek to rise higher through a real knowledge of economics-energy.  This presents a real threat to the sovereignty of the elite class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It follows that the rise of the lower classes must be postponed long enough for the elite class to achieve energy (economic) dominance, labor by consent becoming a lesser economic source.  Until such economic dominance is achieved to the fullest extent possible, the consent of people to labor and let others handle their affairs has to be taken into account.  Failure to achieve this goal would result in interference in the final transfer of energy sources (economic wealth) to the control of the elite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until such times, it is essential to recognize that public consent is still the essential key to the release of energy in the process of economic amplification.  A consent of energy release system is therefore vital.  Artificial security must be provided in the absence of the mother&#39;s womb, which can take the form of withdrawal, protective devices and shelters.  Such shells will provide a stable environment for stable and unstable activity and provide shelter for the evolutionary process of growth, that is to say, survival in a shelter that gives defensive protection against offensive activities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It applies equally to the elite and the lower classes, but there is a definite difference in the manner in which both these classes approach the solution to the problem.  Our social science scientists have made out a very compelling case that the reason why individuals create a political structure is because they have a subconscious desire to perpetuate their childhood-dependency relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the simplest terms, what the subconscious longing demands is an earthly god to eliminate risks from their lives, put food on the table and pat them on the back in a comforting way when things don&#39;t go well.  the demand for an earthly problem-solver-risk-eliminator is insatiable, which has given rise to a substitute earthly god : the politician.  The insatiable public demand for &#39;protection&#39; is met by promises, but the politician actually delivers little or nothing on his promises.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/Rx-eyTSepiI/AAAAAAAAAFc/l0KHlzpROA0/s1600-h/ACF62C4.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/Rx-eyTSepiI/AAAAAAAAAFc/l0KHlzpROA0/s320/ACF62C4.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124989487979341346&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever present in humans is a desire to control or subdue others who disturb their daily existence.  However, they are unable to cope with the moral and religious issues such actions would raise, so they give the task to professional &#39;hit men&#39;, which we collectively call politicians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the services of politicians are engaged for a number of reasons, which, in the main are listed in the following order:&lt;br /&gt;1) To obtain the longed-for security without managing it&lt;br /&gt;2) To obtain action without the need to act, and without having to give the desired action thought&lt;br /&gt;3) To avoid responsibility for their intentions.&lt;br /&gt;4) To obtain the benefits of reality without exerting the necessary discipline of learning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can readily divide a nation into two sub-categories, the Political Sub Nation and the Docile Sub Nation.  the politicians hold quasi-military jobs, of which the lowest is the police force, next come attorneys.  The presidential level is run by the international bankers.  The docile sub-nation finances the political machine by consent, that is to say, through taxation.  The sub-nation remains attached to the political sub-nation, the latter feeding off it and growing stronger, until the day comes when it is strong enough to devour its creator, the people.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just ran the quote to the end because it seemed everytime I wanted to cut it off, it touched on another issue that is relevant to either today, or to the brain of Karl Rove, or to Clear Channel and the concentration of media ownership.  &lt;b&gt;Let me know what you think !!&lt;/b&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/feeds/6796140462015284080/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35640088&amp;postID=6796140462015284080&amp;isPopup=true' title='976 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/6796140462015284080'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/6796140462015284080'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/2007/10/vegetables.html' title='Vegetables'/><author><name>Cultural Captivity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08824450176261887467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SfRJ3FUdGHI/AAAAAAAAAOE/jeQR7tDuNoQ/S220/picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/Rx8U0TSepfI/AAAAAAAAAFE/o49Azcb_Mi0/s72-c/sardine.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>976</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35640088.post-690021453838630272</id><published>2007-09-26T09:59:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-27T00:41:35.648-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Fruity Myths</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp1.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RvtO1V4X0qI/AAAAAAAAAEc/E1hNkolNf2c/s1600-h/shark.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp1.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RvtO1V4X0qI/AAAAAAAAAEc/E1hNkolNf2c/s320/shark.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5114768480122950306&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She already talks like my sister ... if she frowned a little more and had curly hair, she&#39;d look like my sister too ... &lt;a href=&quot;http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3532359250191006331&amp;q=democracy+now&amp;total=333&amp;start=40&amp;num=10&amp;so=1&amp;type=search&amp;plindex=7&quot;&gt;Naomi Klein on the Privatization of War&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3532359250191006331&amp;q=democracy+now&amp;total=333&amp;start=40&amp;num=10&amp;so=1&amp;type=search&amp;plindex=7&quot;&gt;Naomi Klein : the Shock Doctrine&lt;/a&gt; at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, here in Vancouver, Feb 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Shock Doctrine - the Rise of Disaster Capitalism by Naomi Klein.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka3Pb_StJn4&amp;mode=related&amp;search=&quot;&gt;Part 1 of 6&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and just for fun, because it&#39;s 7mins long :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3532359250191006331&amp;q=democracy+now&amp;total=333&amp;start=40&amp;num=10&amp;so=1&amp;type=search&amp;plindex=7&quot;&gt;How to Brainwash a Nation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dumbing down is a strategy.   Misinformation, DisInformation, Lies, Deceptions, Cons ... all are part of a larger attack on certain individuals, designed to short-circuit any blame industry that might develop.  Why are we not informed ?  Why are we misinformed ?  The answer is in the History of Education and some cynical Guilded Age ideology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The less we know, the less likely we are to question the Establishment, which keeps the steering of society in the hands of the moneyed few.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.johntaylorgatto.com/&quot;&gt;John Taylor Gatto&lt;/a&gt; describes the sustained attack on education, which has been a preferred target for elites since the beginning of Public Schools.  How can children resist being duped by scheisters on Coast to Coast AM and the wave of Mystery Guides out there ... how can they understand the game being played by Faux Noise (aka Fox News) and Clear Channel in order to avoid becoming its victim ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To further exploit the humiliation of Miss South Carolina, the US citizen does not have the education needed to grasp the meaning of a &lt;b&gt;tapeworm economy&lt;/b&gt;.  The background to the Tapeworm Economy is not wacky - it&#39;s the projection of those facts into the future where I see problems.  It&#39;s that ole self-marginalization again.  What is missing from the discussions is what the commoner can DO about the tapeworm economy. THAT would be discussing class warfare.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wall Street Public Relations wants the lazy American workers to be dumbed down, so that economics will remain the domain of the super-elites.  People smart enough to grasp the facts &amp; implications are told to go off-grid and head for the hills.  Should people act in self-interest ?  Yes, of course they should !!  If you had money a few years ago, you could have bought gold for $300/oz - and you should have!!  That doesn&#39;t mean there is no political solution to an economic problem - and it doesn&#39;t mean that the guy going off-grid should abandon his responsibilities to the Common.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RvqSM14X0oI/AAAAAAAAAEM/z-W50sGVTIY/s1600-h/blocks.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RvqSM14X0oI/AAAAAAAAAEM/z-W50sGVTIY/s320/blocks.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5114561076152226434&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Out-sourcing executives are reaping millions while commoners are left to settle for McJobs - and whenever the off-shoring facts start to come home to roost, Bush, simply moves fast food from service to manufacturing.

It is suspended by the guise of authority such as a correspondence school PhD and the encouraging nods of the Science Advisor on a radio show.  It might take days, weeks or months to find out the Coast guest was full of beans, but the other side is fighting a game of attrtition.

You can&#39;t have one without the other.  It&#39;s the power structure where (for me) Cydonia goes off the rails.  NASA is the biggest PR stunt the US has ever embarked upon and NASA is at the intersection where leading edge science meets the frontier.  It&#39;s as though someone decided that cold, dead Space was not generating enough interest, so they re-tooled the guy who interpreted the Apollo Missions on the CBS News - gave him a new MISSION : to promote the idea of Martian civilization.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We&#39;re looking at the entity that was trusted to run the most expensive Cold War public relations stunt EVER.  Is RCH misinformed and a victim of pareidolia (as his critics suggest) ?  I don&#39;t think so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If anything, it takes a MASTER of pareidolia taking readers and Coast listeners on a couch trip, playing with the mutual dreamscape and furniture in the mind that is already there  - courtesy of Hollywood and other shills.  That&#39;s what gives it the surreal quality.  It&#39;s surrealism along the same lines as the French surrealism that produced the Three Wise Englishmen who took the Priory of Sion list as fact,  spawning the Holy Blood and Holy Grail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V7zbWNznbs&quot;&gt;I told him we already got one...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp1.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RvtehV4X0sI/AAAAAAAAAEs/Z5Temrprz5s/s1600-h/ATL2.bmp&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp1.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RvtehV4X0sI/AAAAAAAAAEs/Z5Temrprz5s/s320/ATL2.bmp&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5114785728711611074&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From previous discussions about whether RCH &amp; TEM are fronts or organic, there were many questions.  The Ad Hominem Questions : What special skill does one have to have in order to be chosen as the lead PR guy for the Apollo Missions ?  What special stamp of approval is that &quot;something extra&quot; that lands the job as Science Advisor to a radio show with 20,000,000 listeners belonging to a company with an agenda Clear Channel ? Is it the ability to adhere to an agenda that is the skill ?  Is Science Advisor the kind of job you would read about in a newspaper ad ?

A mid-wife for PR cons ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When people are told they are seeing photos of Pyramids on Mars, or that weather modification is real, they&#39;re being put through a type of shock.  Why ?  To measure they&#39;re reaction ?  To keep those types of minds busy ?  To punish people who go looking there for clues about our origins ?  The reaction to the shock is interesting.  How many adherents does it take to score a conversion to the Cydonia story ?  That would be interesting data - especially if it&#39;s all a hoax.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/feeds/690021453838630272/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35640088&amp;postID=690021453838630272&amp;isPopup=true' title='786 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/690021453838630272'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/690021453838630272'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/2007/09/fruity-myths.html' title='Fruity Myths'/><author><name>Cultural Captivity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08824450176261887467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SfRJ3FUdGHI/AAAAAAAAAOE/jeQR7tDuNoQ/S220/picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp1.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RvtO1V4X0qI/AAAAAAAAAEc/E1hNkolNf2c/s72-c/shark.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>786</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35640088.post-7408906602416590452</id><published>2007-09-12T02:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-21T12:07:57.226-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="2012"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="antigravity"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="apollo"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="c2c"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="cia"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="coast to coast"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="cydonia"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="freemasonry"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="fshod"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="mars"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="moon"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="nasa"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="nsa"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="planet x"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="princeton eggs"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="shriners"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="sociopath"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="sri"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="stargate"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="y2k"/><title type='text'>Fruity Clubs</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RvQPxV4X0mI/AAAAAAAAAD8/lShtXORHSI0/s1600-h/bigcorporateflag.gif&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RvQPxV4X0mI/AAAAAAAAAD8/lShtXORHSI0/s320/bigcorporateflag.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5112728817333949026&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;“The very word &#39;secrecy&#39; is repugnant in a free and open society; &lt;br /&gt;and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed &lt;br /&gt;to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-President John F. Kennedy, in an address to newspaper publishers, 27 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;April 1961.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The middle and lower classes are the REAL superpower and who can deny it ?  That&#39;s who REALLY won WWI and WWII (the last declared wars).  The people who have entrenched and ensconced themselves as leaders (ruling in secret) can only pretend they&#39;re in charge IF and only IF they dress up their enemies as threatening to the Common.  No war started by business interests alone will EVER win because nobody would show up.  This is why we have stage-managed crises - sinking the Lusitania, Pearl Harbor and 9/11 ... this is how they yoked us and got us to pick up their class war expenses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If commoners fight the business wars, then who fights the peace-time propaganda wars ?  Made men.  Sociopaths who are paid by selfish psychopaths to play cheerleader for wars, social science frauds and a tangle of lies and liars.  Intelligence Agents are extensively screened for their lack of conscience.  Covert class war requires troops and spies that see no problem planting silly ideas in the marketplace of ideas (like the myth of Freemasons ruling the world).  The same Freemasons who plant delusions by enticing, vibing and misleading the non-initiates to their cult into believing the latest PsyOps side-show is real.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier this month, Richard C Hoagland returned to the blogosphere, fresh from a self-imposed exile to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.americanantigravity.com/corporate/bio_richard_hoagland.shtml&quot;&gt;American Anti-Gravity&lt;/a&gt;.  None of his former acquaintances asked about his deal with AAG.  RCH is on the AAG Board of Directors and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.enterprisemission.com/advertising.html&quot;&gt;Tim Ventura&lt;/a&gt; is on the TEM Board, tasked with capitalizing on the big numbers that our community put up at TEM between July and November, in 2005 (by popular demand, I&#39;ve been asked to add : &lt;i&gt;absconding without explanation is no way to &#39;build relationships&#39;&lt;/i&gt;). Nobody has since asked either Tim or Dick how much they&#39;re paying each other, nor did anyone ask them to produce the 501(c) tax returns to confirm or refute suspicions that TEM and AAG are not just a con to supplement a salary from the CIA and contract work for SRI.  Many had wondered these things aloud in the past at DryDock and FSHOD (when it was a Republic).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RvQH2V4X0jI/AAAAAAAAADk/gkaboOwd_vI/s1600-h/crowned-heads.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RvQH2V4X0jI/AAAAAAAAADk/gkaboOwd_vI/s320/crowned-heads.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5112720107140272690&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I posted a few questions at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.darkmission.net/dmframes.htm&quot;&gt;Dark Mission&lt;/a&gt; in good faith (click Authors Blog, earliest posts) and asked a question that I thought a reporter might ask.  Something that, if answered, would be something to beat his critics over the head with.  If left unanswered, well, we can all default to our already settled views.  It was pretty anti-climactic because I think RCH misunderstood the meaning of the question I asked re : neutrality.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cultural Captivity said...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt; People with the brains to plot such things ... &lt;br /&gt;would also be smart enough to hire front-men. &lt;br /&gt;I don&#39;t doubt for a moment there are things we&#39;re not being told ... &lt;br /&gt;the question is, who do we trust/believe to tell us the real story ? &lt;br /&gt;Should we trust anyone linked to SRI or the CIA or NASA or Intell &lt;br /&gt;PsyOps CoIntelPro ... et al ?  &lt;br /&gt;Should we consider someone&#39;s opinion to be neutral and trustworthy &lt;br /&gt;if they are linked to SRI and paid by Clear Channel ?&lt;br /&gt;Just askin&#39; ...&lt;br /&gt;August 22, 2007 5:03 AM&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;... to which came the reply ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Richard C.

It means honest research leading to the truth.  It&#39;s naiive to assume that the practical purpose is money for nothing, or attention-seeking, because there is more at stake (in Space &amp; Science) than minor notoriety.  If a shill achieves fame - that&#39;s considered success - even if it&#39;s obvious that it will all be exposed as a big hoax in 5, 10 or 50 years.  The people deciding whose sludge should get pumped into the marketplace of ideas do not want to enslave you &amp; me - they&#39;re on a gradual slope to enslave our kids or grand-kids.  That&#39;s what generational cults DO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RvQJDV4X0kI/AAAAAAAAADs/4yxGgMo6d2o/s1600-h/fratsealbw.gif&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RvQJDV4X0kI/AAAAAAAAADs/4yxGgMo6d2o/s320/fratsealbw.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5112721429990199874&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stand by my offer to help iron out the flaws in their concept of the power structure, because (a) their all-too-typical mistakes are polluting the marketplace of ideas and (b) the book might represent RCH&#39;s life work and who wouldn&#39;t want to improve that ?  Humans think about posterity and immortality while think tanks do not.  RCH has his legacy doing CBS reports about Apollo missions.  Would he want his piece of immortality to be associated with the silly planted delusions of C2C-AM ?  Who wants to be remembered for embracing every fridge magnet of the New Age movement ?  The Holy Blood &amp; Holy Grail (French surrealism), Heaven&#39;s Gate, Graham Hancock, Y2K, Planet X, 2012, Star Gate, Princeton Eggs ... and the list goes on.  Questions are healthy and inevitable when the same guy pushing all these things ... is also pushing the NASA photos, the stuff on Mars and trumpeting an impossible trip to the Moon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The New Age movement is fairly easy to infiltrate.  Have a committee write a book that touches every base they want covered, then get a front man to promote it on Coast to Coast AM.  Once that has been accomplished, the wolf in sheep&#39;s clothing can then use the book &amp; book sales as &#39;street cred&#39; and join the UFO tour.  The simplicity is what makes the colorful community (new age) a good place for training.  Trekkies and Mars anomalies people are lumped in with the vague New Age fluff-heads.  I suspect that anyone who fails the academic and personality part of the Intell test will be sent to babysit the New Age movement.  It&#39;s no risk to national security because people who use vague, fluffy words are not exactly sticklers for facts &amp; details ... they prefer to be light and breeeeezy.  So, babysitting Blogs like this one would be an entry level position and a waiting room for m!nd fuck spies (class warriors) nearing retirement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp1.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/Rueu0SfzIVI/AAAAAAAAADU/yVCeW68nr6s/s1600-h/Queen.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp1.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/Rueu0SfzIVI/AAAAAAAAADU/yVCeW68nr6s/s320/Queen.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5109244515616760146&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photo at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.darkmission.net/dmframes.htm&quot;&gt;Dark Mission&lt;/a&gt; shows an astronaut planting a Freemasonic flag on the Moon.  Supreme Council 33* Southern Jurisdiction.  So few people have any formal training in history and leading edge of SOCIAL science that it has duped authors that, in turn, write books for an even more duped readership.  Academia will shun the book &amp; topic for that reason - but that&#39;s okay, as long as anti-intellectualism prevails in the red States and the military.  It&#39;s no accident that both of these groups that typically vote against their best economic interests - are a captive market.  This is the niche of Coast to Coast AM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the Moon photos of &lt;i&gt;Dark Mission&lt;/i&gt; are truly what&#39;s important, then the social science and context shouldn&#39;t matter - except to try to be as truthful and non-misleading as possible.  So, why would an honest researcher and publicizer of Moon photos persist in recycling conspiracy theories that only made sense to high school drop-outs in the 1950s ?  The kind that never went to University and read nothing but comic books ?  That only makes sense if the Moon photos are a means of achieving another end - to camouflage the power structure.  Or, to drape it in a camouflage that will fool the type of person that buys that type of book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt; - George Orwell&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I tried to explain to the authors of &lt;i&gt;Dark Mission&lt;/i&gt;, the Freemasons are a support cult created in 1717.  They are PR foot-soldiers that are basically well-fed lap-dogs for a tiny elite that is richer than God.  The main beneficiaries of North American colonization are those who schemed to get title to the land (as first envisioned by John Dee).  This group won two World Wars and controlled the smoke &amp; mirrors of the Cold War.  The Freemasons are their employees, not their successors.  Capitalism needed to conceal who really makes decisions in a capitalist country, so Freemasonry takes the credit/blame = pretending to be all about bravery and expansion for the common good, but it&#39;s pure finesse, designed to help their masters to further consolidate power internally (mega-projects).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp1.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RvQNuF4X0lI/AAAAAAAAAD0/Gv5MMWTkQlk/s1600-h/tpl1.gif&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp1.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RvQNuF4X0lI/AAAAAAAAAD0/Gv5MMWTkQlk/s320/tpl1.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5112726562476118610&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;REAL history of the support cult is concealed - especially its links to the power structure and the strings that connect the puppet with the puppeteers.  The timeline is hopelessly broken.  Twice.  There is a 1,200 yr gap between 100BC and 1100AD, then another gap between 1307 and 1717.  That&#39;s a grand total of 1,610yr gap over 2,100 years since the last Pharoah ruled Egypt ... which threatens the myth that any link between Egypt and Mars would be understood by any of the bellicose pretenders in Freemasonry.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are lots of people who have read books about Freemasonry and bought into the hype.  The more they study, the less they know.  Joining the Freemasons means the initiate has had a ceremony to officialize their idolatry of a bogus ideology ... by being spun in circles while blindfolded by a bunch of men wearing aprons ... and consenting to have their throat cut left to right if they should give out any secrets.  It would appear that giving out bogus secrets is encouraged, while giving up the truth is frowned upon with sharp knives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Internal enemy = external enemy = it&#39;s all the same to them.  They plant delusions, promote lies about the true state of leading edge science, the power structure and about what lies beyond the frontier.  Disinfo, since the late 1800s has known that filling people&#39;s heads with a whole bunch of disconnected facts causes them to lose context ... which became a media strategy in the 20th century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The funniest promoted idea of the dogmatic clique is the one that is the most nakedly self-serving.  That is the Con that says Extra Terrestrial contact would cause people to commit suicide, sell their stock portfolios and lead to the downfall of society.  It demonstrates a WARPED view of both individual and society, or rather, organism and super-organism.  It&#39;s akin to being shaken down for lunch money from the junior high school bully.  When a High School kid (someone tougher than the local bully) drops by the schoolyard for a visit - ask yourself : whose style is more cramped ?  The bully ?  Or the bullied ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coast to Coast AM is gives us the story that the Jr High bully wants us to hear : anal probes, destruction of society, crash of stock market ... about the only hidden truth is that ET would severely threaten the social security of people who don&#39;t work for a living ... and threaten the monopoly on information currently held by Intell.  Is it coincidence that the only two hosts that have anchored C2C-AM came out of military radio ?  George Noory says he doesn&#39;t believe in coincidences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The 20th Century has been characterized by three developments of &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;great political importance:&lt;br /&gt;The growth of Democracy,&lt;br /&gt;The growth of Corporate Power, and&lt;br /&gt;The growth of &lt;b&gt;Corporate Propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Alex Carey&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Professional liars are part of many (if not all) societies.  SRI is notorious for its associations with Intell Agencies - as a resource for war-hawks who need to distract the would-be watch-dogs (get them to chase their tails).  The thing is, when SRI-affiliated people exhibit behavior that deviates from the behavior you might expect from a neutral inquiring researcher ... it&#39;s not because they&#39;re quirky or a delicate genius at work ... it&#39;s via stratagem.  Get more suspicious if they should start getting anonymous tips from &quot;insiders&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember the TEM.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/feeds/7408906602416590452/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35640088&amp;postID=7408906602416590452&amp;isPopup=true' title='460 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/7408906602416590452'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/7408906602416590452'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/2007/09/fruity-clubs.html' title='Fruity Clubs'/><author><name>Cultural Captivity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08824450176261887467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SfRJ3FUdGHI/AAAAAAAAAOE/jeQR7tDuNoQ/S220/picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RvQPxV4X0mI/AAAAAAAAAD8/lShtXORHSI0/s72-c/bigcorporateflag.gif" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>460</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35640088.post-1571487226784395438</id><published>2007-07-23T00:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-14T21:36:53.609-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Post-National Cartography</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RqRbvhrUIMI/AAAAAAAAACs/EPadaImfvXo/s1600-h/built-up.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RqRbvhrUIMI/AAAAAAAAACs/EPadaImfvXo/s320/built-up.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5090294350887526594&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1969, NASA began photographing Canada from its Earth Resources Technology Satellite.  Canada objected to US surveillance as Allan Gottlieb, Deputy Minister of Communications explains, &lt;i&gt;&quot;on the grounds that the US would be able to obtain exclusive information on the location of potential mineral and petroleum deposits in Canada by means of this satellite and might give advance information to US exploration companies&quot;.&lt;/i&gt; No country has more foreign ownership than Canada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Canada accused the US of invading its sovereign rights because, under International Law, territorial sovereignty had always been determined by the ability to &lt;i&gt;&quot;fix limits on their own soveriegnty&quot;&lt;/i&gt; and even today, this remote sensing continues and Canada remains involved in a diplomatic struggle over what this means for sovereign rights.  So, besides launching our own satellites to out-pace their gathering of information, we sign treaties with the Inuit and take the new position that the map is not the territory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RqRbohrUILI/AAAAAAAAACk/og-yzbYUpJA/s1600-h/North_America_satellite_globe.jpeg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RqRbohrUILI/AAAAAAAAACk/og-yzbYUpJA/s320/North_America_satellite_globe.jpeg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5090294230628442290&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mapping the Arctic frontier is the only way to establish sovereignty and Canada has always invested heavily in cartography, photogrammetry and by the early 1960s, the Canada Land Inventory (CLI) was already using GIS to &lt;i&gt;&quot;develop an inventory of all the land across the country that was under farming practice, or could be turned into forest plantations or some alternative use&quot;&lt;/i&gt;.  There were 4 categories in the Canada Land Index : agriculture, forestry, recreation and wildlife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aerial photography maps for the CLI sought to &quot;create a historical document presenting the use of the land at a particular point in time&quot; because visually at a scale of 1:50,000, they were more than projections, they were true mirrors of the reality on the ground.  Although, the only categories that mattered were recreation, mines, cropland, wetlands, productive woodland, nonproductive woodland, improved pasture, rough grazing, intensive cultivation and &quot;built up&quot; (towns etc).  Everything else was labelled &quot;barren&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RqRbiBrUIKI/AAAAAAAAACc/SJhgv2TPHNA/s1600-h/87su1001.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RqRbiBrUIKI/AAAAAAAAACc/SJhgv2TPHNA/s320/87su1001.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5090294118959292578&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They couldn&#39;t call it terra inaccessibilis or terra incognita because they were able to fly over it.  They could access it and identify what was there ... but it was otherwise barren or, not receptive to a scattering of seeds.  When I visited in the summer of 2002, there were rumours that the aerial photography library would be closed and everything in the library &#39;dark archived&#39;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If recent discussions with the Geographic Names Board of Canada about investigating nomenclature becomes overly heated, or break down altogether, I have a series of articles that lay in wait.  It would be difficult to popularize and politicize the issue, but it can be done.  Mocking the pretensious Grey Owl Syndrome of the GNBC Secretariat will not surprise anyone.  My guns will be the myth of political localism and the myth of reconciliation that emanates from that building on Booth Street in Ottawa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RqSeSBrUINI/AAAAAAAAAC0/11epUTa5LG4/s1600-h/GSC.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RqSeSBrUINI/AAAAAAAAAC0/11epUTa5LG4/s320/GSC.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5090367511360446674&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Survey, Plan, Settle, Tax.  The four-step process of Colonialism all require a map.  First the theoretical map, then the route survey, then the topographical survey, then the boundary survey, the Dominion Survey.  The location of resources has always been the foundation of taxation and as such, the maps and charts that identify those locations went from being State secrets to rivalling the flag as a symbol.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maps have shifted from covert action into  propaganda spectacle.  The Crown no longer has a monopoly on the maps that get made, though they did retain control over what got officialized and access to all the maps that qualify as evidence in court.  The tide may be turning, because today, maps can be commissioned privately to establish &lt;i&gt;continuous habitation&lt;/i&gt;.  The best example of this is the first, because the element of surprise made it dramatic.  The GIS data created by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.creetech.com/wade.htm&quot;&gt;Cree Tech&lt;/a&gt; crushed the lame &amp; self-serving evidence that Hydro-Quebec had been assembling the &lt;i&gt;old-fashioned way&lt;/i&gt; in order to establish the land was &#39;unused&#39;.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s lame and self-serving data today, but this method would have prevailed prior to GIS - and did prevail until 1995.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RsKCwBrUIOI/AAAAAAAAAC8/kx_MK8UoDms/s1600-h/ACF62C4.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RsKCwBrUIOI/AAAAAAAAAC8/kx_MK8UoDms/s320/ACF62C4.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098781489732264162&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/feeds/1571487226784395438/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35640088&amp;postID=1571487226784395438&amp;isPopup=true' title='718 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/1571487226784395438'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/1571487226784395438'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/2007/07/post-national-cartography.html' title='Post-National Cartography'/><author><name>Cultural Captivity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08824450176261887467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SfRJ3FUdGHI/AAAAAAAAAOE/jeQR7tDuNoQ/S220/picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RqRbvhrUIMI/AAAAAAAAACs/EPadaImfvXo/s72-c/built-up.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>718</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35640088.post-12417453183208979</id><published>2007-05-28T10:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-02T04:15:46.638-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sub-Cultures</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/Rlsqp4NaZDI/AAAAAAAAACU/Hy2UZaepmq0/s1600-h/3dmap.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/Rlsqp4NaZDI/AAAAAAAAACU/Hy2UZaepmq0/s320/3dmap.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5069692704487269426&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My interest in sub-cultures does not come from any one special interest.  My concern is sub-culture boundaries.  I&#39;m about as interested in the pot sub-culture as I am in the industrial ribbon of a typical North American city.  Culture is created by links between people.  The issues of &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;polity &lt;/span&gt;(people) touch the ground and sometimes conflict with the issues of &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;territory&lt;/span&gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hermann Goering, who wanted to kill all intellectuals who had read more books than he had, once remarked (infamously) &lt;span style=&quot;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;&quot;whenever I hear the word &#39;culture&#39;, I get out my revolver&quot;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.  In my case, Culture is about what activities take place in what environment - and why.  Who is directing the concentration and/or segregation of these sub-cultures ?  What we&#39;re REALLY talking about is psychological and geographical centers of power.  How right you are entirely depends on where you are.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people go to Rome to see the Vatican (no jeans allowed) while others head off to Rome for the nudist beaches (no clothes allowed).  However, nobody will say they went to Rome because the men are not shy about pinching women&#39;s rear ends.  I&#39;m sure there are some who wouldn&#39;t mind that, but I am doubtful that attraction (getting groped) would persuade (m)any women to update their passport and go buy a plane ticket.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Era of Athenian Democracy, it was taken as fact that individuals have no effective voice in any community over 5,000.  In order to achieve autonomous, self-governing and self-budgeting communities that are not corrput, , 10,000 should be the limit for a community.  Sophocles lamented that, &quot;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;life would be unbearable if it were not for the freedom to initiate action in a small community&lt;/span&gt;.&quot;  &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;Confucius&lt;/span&gt; echoed this wisdom in &lt;span style=&quot;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;The Great Digest&lt;/span&gt;.  On this continent, evidence that the wisdom was common knowledge comes through &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;Thomas Jefferson&lt;/span&gt;&#39;s &lt;span style=&quot;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;Plan for American Democracy&lt;/span&gt;.  Keeping cities manageable was the only known way to govern that did &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;not&lt;/span&gt; lead to corruption.  This should serve as a good starting point for those who presume that the expansion of the British Empire was decided by barbarians on the periphery, it is time to disabuse you of that planted delusion.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At some point in the past, everybody (who was anybody) KNEW that it was dangerous to vest power in the hands of the few, who would inevitably make big mistakes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A century or two ago,, during Westward Expansion, new communities were being built at a phenomenal rate.  The Athenian rule of thumb was SO prevalent, Thomas Jefferson&#39;s campaign slogan was &quot;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;BREAK THE COUNTRY INTO WARDS&lt;/span&gt;&quot; because TJ wanted to keep mistakes manageable - but he failed.  TJ said community size was the disjunction between citizen and government.  (or is it dysjunction - I dunno)  TJ added that planning embodied the dynamics of civil disorder.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Founding Fathers followed the Athenian Rule of Thumb : and coincidentally, constructed public buildings that look EXACTLY like the ones designed/proposed/inspired by Athens in its prime.  Naturally, there are those who will say, &quot;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;they liked the Greek architecture better than the Roman&lt;/span&gt;&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; - &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;No citizen should be more than two friends away from the highest member of the local unit&lt;/span&gt;.  This assumes (on the Greek model) that everyone knows 12 people.  That&#39;s how the Athenian Rule was determined !  Assuming 3 people per (city) household, 12x12x12 = 1728 households = 5,500 people.  This is the Rule of Thumb STILL used by school boards.  The base number varies : Chicago Schoolboards used 5,000, but they&#39;re inherited projections &amp; theories.  After-the-fact, the Rule of Thumb began being discussed (academically) in the post-war era starting with Svend Reimer&#39;s article &quot;Villagers in Metropolis : The community of 7,000&quot; in the British Journal of Sociology, March 1954.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So who forgot the Rule ?  The Imperial Office forgot, but the local town planners probably never knew - and if they did, the City Council probably didn&#39;t feel bound by the Rule of Thumb.  In 1925, local community planning in British Columbia was legalized, but the opportunity for innovation was soon extinguished after WWII, when, zoning bylaws and &quot;official community plans&quot; began turning every city in North America into Los Angeles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who don&#39;t study history are doomed to repeat it, or otherwise suffer from their ignorance and lack of curiosity.  Most cities are unwilling or unable to read the buildings they inherited, so they are unable to distinguish Imperial from Local (organic).  I honestly don&#39;t know how most cities can reconcile their past with their present, or their imaginings of their future.  It&#39;s no wonder that the definition of  Heritage ends up in court so often.  Such is the power of silence and the navel gazing of modern planners is not entirely to blame for there being confusion in sorting out the original (market &amp; common) intention of leaders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first settlements in North America were corporate ventures.  One of the reasons I see no conflict between being a corporate historian and pushing for typically left wing ideals like universal health care : Joint Stock Companies are a DELIVERANCE by comparison to monoplistic mercantilism ... free trade imperialism ... neo-liberal colonialism ... royal charter corporations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The history of communications (in British Columbia) just entered the Joint Stock phase in 1996.  Lucky for me !  Who should write the history of the previous regime ?  Why not the current regime ?  As a lead-in to the present and future !</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/feeds/12417453183208979/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35640088&amp;postID=12417453183208979&amp;isPopup=true' title='571 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/12417453183208979'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/12417453183208979'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/2007/05/sub-cultures.html' title='Sub-Cultures'/><author><name>Cultural Captivity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08824450176261887467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SfRJ3FUdGHI/AAAAAAAAAOE/jeQR7tDuNoQ/S220/picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp2.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/Rlsqp4NaZDI/AAAAAAAAACU/Hy2UZaepmq0/s72-c/3dmap.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>571</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35640088.post-4482286391436939917</id><published>2007-04-15T02:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-15T03:33:08.501-07:00</updated><title type='text'>z1on1sm</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp3.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RiHvWv4yGGI/AAAAAAAAACM/B3koM1m06Ro/s1600-h/colonization.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp3.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RiHvWv4yGGI/AAAAAAAAACM/B3koM1m06Ro/s320/colonization.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053583430977198178&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some constructive ideas to build on ... anyone who doesn&#39;t have anything to add - post your questions - they are like mortar to hold the bricks (made of fact) together.  Zionism is about 50 years beyond my range of expertise, so be sure to check with BU for errors &amp; omissions &amp; context.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;“As a teenager, I heard John Kennedy&#39;s summons to citizenship. And then, as a student, I heard that call clarified by a professor I had named Carroll Quigley.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Rhodes scholar Bill Clinton, on his Georgetown mentor, in his nomination acceptance speech, 1992-Jul-16&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;“There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an institutional Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the radical Right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently does so. I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years in the early 1960s to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies ... but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Dr. Carroll Quigley&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bill Clinton name dropped Carroll Quigley as his mentor during his acceptance speech ... yet The Anglo-American Establishment could NOT find a publisher during Quigley&#39;s lifetime (he died in 1981).  Since then, there has been an unusual amount of books &lt;b&gt;published&lt;/b&gt; - all tackling the 50yr old question : how the British Empire yielded the field to the American Empire.  For those who don&#39;t have a sleeping disorder that needs curing and have never read the Anglo-American Establishment, it is an expose on a secret plan started by Cecil Rhodes to establish a covert Anglo-Saxon New World Order.  Precisely what we got.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There&#39;s Toynbee, who talked about how nations need Guiding Myths.  The British gifted independence to the Americans and a myth to sustain it : the myth that the British Navy had been (or could be) defeated.  There&#39;s the Round Table, designed to conceal the chaos of force &amp; seizure.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milner&#39;s_Kindergarten&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Milner&#39;s &lt;/a&gt;-&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodes-Milner_Round_Table_Groups&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Kindergarten&lt;/a&gt; that was teaching young colonies how to be countries while using the Imperial network for Foreign Relations.  After the death of these stars of British Imperialism, Carroll Quigley called their replacements &#39;successor cliques&#39; - which is probably where I got the word &quot;clique&quot; from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bill Clinton, Robert Reich, Strobe Talbot, Ira Magaziner, George Stephanopoulos ... ALL Rhodes Scholars.  They&#39;re Anglophiles.  From the time the Berlin Wall fell to the time of the Gulf War, people were talking about the Peace Dividend.  There were leaders talking openly about a Third Way - in between socialized democracy and corporate capitalism.  All that talk about a Third Way ended.  The New World Order would be defined by trans-national Corporations - follow the history of the discussions - it will all be worked out in secret.  A real war replacement would easily substitute for the (now over) perpetual Cold War.  The Cold War was the anomaly, not the Imperial war.  There was a 10yr joint eneterprise between the British &amp; Americans - the unexpired part of Gulf War I was enforcing the no-fly zones.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, in Britain, politics is dominated by a stalemate between European Institutions and American (&amp; Commonwealth) connections.  The Left thinks it will lose whatever gains it has made (compared to the rest of Europe) and thinks they will have more influence over a British than a European Parliament.  This is how the Left in Britain ends up on the same page as the Right in the USA.  The Americans most opposed to taxation are on the Right, who know what will happen if Iraq were to denominate its oil into non-US dollars - it could start a domino effect.  The implications of withdrawal into Fortress America are better known to the investors &amp; directors who off-shore jobs.  They want shipping lanes policed by American ships - not regional powers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zionism is, chronologically, a spin-off of Atlanticism, or Trans-Atlanticism.  Is it a peripheral piece ?  Or the center-piece ?  The British and Americans seem to set up a game of good-cop vs bad cop.  Or, like the Opium Wars, it&#39;s bad cop (Britain) fighting the war, while the (officially) neutral cop (USA) is towing the damaged ships to a safe distance off-shore &amp; helping out ... but neutral, fer sure, fer sure.

Sykes-Picot is a secret agreement between the British &amp; French to carve up Syria, Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan and Palestine, made public after the Soviet Union published them.  That agreement would tell us what&#39;s in the head of the people who (then, like today) own the shipping, finance the refineries, insure the industry ... the lion&#39;s share money-makers &amp; profit takers when the oil dollar is divided up.  It tells you how they imagined the future that is now our past, as well as present.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Divide &amp; Quit is a very British thing to do - Sir Penderel Moon wrote about that - and since we&#39;re fighting a war because the British drew lines in the sand and quit the region ... it&#39;s worth mentioning.  &lt;b&gt;Did the US inherit or annex these Imperial responsibilities ?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Ms. April Glaspie talks to Saddam Hussein about his plans to invade Kuwait, she says &quot;the US takes no view of the border dispute between Iraq and Kuwait&quot; ... everybody knows that quote.

I read about the division (well, skimmed it quickly) 12 years ago titled Fighting With Allies, by Sir Robin Renwick.  That&#39;s sort of why I&#39;m reading Hitchens - I&#39;m looking for clues in how &amp; why NATO shrivelled up and the old Anglo-American alliance showed its colours so quickly after the fall of the Berlin Wall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One might expect that they would have tried to stay covert for as long as possible ... Iraq re-made American and European politics.  It changed priorities and who can think of a peace dividend when there are terrorists everywhere and colour coded &quot;elevated&quot; warnings that do nothing but plot the Homeland Security boss&#39; paranoia, or the Republican Administrations fortunes at the polls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lots of elevated warnings justifies government spending on tools &amp; equipment that the moneyed elites (who rule in enclave) can easily turn on the powerless masses if necessary.  Christopher Hitchens says that is why we have drug laws - it&#39;s the same top-down Imperialism that waged the Opium Wars.  Delinquent States like Iraq, were (after 1947) the problem of the UN - is it still ?  We had Imperialism dressed up as Internationalism from 1945-2003, and Bush-Blair have changed that.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Whose job is it to round up all the non-state nihilist groups ?&lt;/b&gt;  That is the question ... the CIA ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Whose job is it to distinguish traditionalists from fanaticists ?&lt;/b&gt;  CNN ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Who decides who is in the Axis of Evil ?&lt;/b&gt;  The President&#39;s speechwriter ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Is it better to have military influence or cultural influence ?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The US keeps building aircraft carriers, each of which can hold as many planes as the Italian air force - so it is the contention of people like Paul Kennedy, in The Rise and Fall of Great Powers, that the US will have its way.  I can see how the British would set up a State that it finds strategically important (Israel) to be the main beneficiary or welfare case of the next super-power.  Israel is close to the Suez Canal, it&#39;s at the crossroads of the Islamic World.  However, the British and Americans have different opinions about what to do about the Palestinians - the promise of national self-determination for the Palestinians was a British promise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s hard not to see the pattern of Divide and Quit replaying.  The helpless British are the Greeks, the old civilization full of wisdom ... meanwhile the Americans are Rome, with military power to burn, but they are (for whatever reason) not listening to the cries of Palestinian mothers right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question that others can add to this narrative of events ... how does Zionism fit in ?  Is Zionism the main objective ?  Knowing that the British want peace in Palestine ... &lt;b&gt;why aren&#39;t the Zionists Anglo-phobes ?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RiHsJ_4yGEI/AAAAAAAAAB8/8OSGI78C4Yk/s1600-h/Bush-eng.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://bp0.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RiHsJ_4yGEI/AAAAAAAAAB8/8OSGI78C4Yk/s320/Bush-eng.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053579913398982722&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, my son is bilingual (English &amp; French) and now wants to study Chinese - the only question is : Cantonese or Mandarin ?  Will Chinese Universities use Cantonese ?  Or will Cantonese become a language only spoken by the diaspora ?  Vancouver has 80,000 5th generation Chinese, descendants of &#39;coolies&#39; that built the railroad (completed 1886).  Vancouver also has 220,000 recent immigrants from Hong Kong ... and the two groups don&#39;t get along.  For example, the first group thinks the second group is trying to turn the suburb of Richmond into Shanghai.  Both groups are united in their hatred &amp; loathing of the (dirty, rude etc) mainland Chinese that have immigrated here since Hong Kong &quot;fell&quot;.  Bottom line question is, which language will be the most useful language between the years 2020 and 2065 ?</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/feeds/4482286391436939917/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35640088&amp;postID=4482286391436939917&amp;isPopup=true' title='464 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/4482286391436939917'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/4482286391436939917'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/2007/04/z1on1sm.html' title='z1on1sm'/><author><name>Cultural Captivity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08824450176261887467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SfRJ3FUdGHI/AAAAAAAAAOE/jeQR7tDuNoQ/S220/picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://bp3.blogger.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/RiHvWv4yGGI/AAAAAAAAACM/B3koM1m06Ro/s72-c/colonization.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>464</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35640088.post-8626217898637977605</id><published>2007-04-03T02:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-03T03:12:31.533-07:00</updated><title type='text'>FWIW</title><content type='html'>1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;

Did they finally discover a more perfect drug that could make a person controllable ?  Is it reasonable to suspect they might have ? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could they control 19 strip-joint attending supposedly devout Muslims hell-bent on gittin themselves some virgins in the rug-pilot&#39;s version of heaven ?  It IS reasonable to think there could be mind control drugs out there - and if we have Israeli Mossad sending spies to follow so-called &quot;terrorists&quot; - how do we know the terrorists haven&#39;t been brain-washed, but brain-poisoned or even implanted ?

Both were launched by the same group - the Anglo-American Establishment.  The first is a class warrior cult created by Wall Street&#39;s desire to project its power - to fire its supply stuff into the demand side, which lays dumb, isolated, wanting and in a prone position.  The Declaration calls it &quot;manly firmness&quot; but I digress)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CIA is a Minotaur launched and controlled by WS-PR (which is the Am half of the Anglo-Am Establishment) and it is guided by megalomaniacal self-appointed fart-sniffers of the Body Politic (the publics).

By appointment, not by popular demand.  A local leader would have spoken the truth.  What was imported exactly ?  If they only wanted the science, we could have drugged Von Braun and chained him to a lab somewhere inside Spandau.  What Von Braun had, that TPTB wanted (justifying Operation Paperclip) was Nazi Technology of a diffeernt form : Management Techniques !!  Werner Von Braun laid down the unthinking convention - producing facts that would be confirmed by pets &amp; darlings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unthinking convention is a form of praetorization that must be entrenched starting from Day One.  That way, the conscious intention of an appointed NASA Head can be circumscribed or circumvented.  Undermined.  Subsequent Heads of the NASA would never have the sweeping discretionary powers that the pliable and compromised Von Braun had as the First.

McCarthyism was the &#39;going after&#39; of groups that couldn&#39;t be busted up by other (covert) means.  The tactic since 1980 or so, has been to activate the self-interests - which has been done effectively in politics, used by Reagan, Bush I, Clinton and of course, Bush II.  Wedge issues elect Republicans - religion works (attack on marriage). Gay Marriage (attack on the family).  War on Terror (attack on the US).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s the Self-Interests that enabled Reagan to make the denial of compassion respectable.  It&#39;s the Self-Directeds that have been under attack..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merchants of Fear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What&#39;s going on is known as praetorization. I Googled praetorization and there were only a half-dozen entries - most were my posts at TEM last year.  Maybe there&#39;s another spelling ?  Google didn&#39;t offer me alternatives - asked if I meant preauthorization.  It&#39;s the right technical term - I can assure you of that - whether there is a popular word that I don&#39;t know about ... let me know if anyone finds one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;External attacks on social groups tend to solidify them.  The best way to take down a threatening organization requires the ability to take it apart from the inside, usually by breeding discontent.  Introduce discussions that will help the self-selecting, identify the people whose minds are looking for a different path to God.  Those people who went into the Temple Perilous and (unlike Neo) took the blue pill. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a country dominated by Christians, the Bible thumpers are the first group you go after - those most likely to defer to trust and belief in religion are also most likely to defer to trust and belief with economics.  This is the path taken by the Coors family and the Christian right.  Next, you work on the self-interests.  This method was not always the chosen or preferred method.  At least not until the Me Generation and the Gimme Generation came along.  Until the late 1960s, it was &#39;ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country&#39; - along with Wall Street PR holding firm to Freudianism and paternalism.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until those 300 Nuns who resigned en-masse after they experienced the Rogers-Esalen method.  That alone de-bunked Freudianism.  In science, observation trumps theory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4937/3469/1600/210797/Projected.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4937/3469/320/993781/Projected.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the main problems with psychology, besides being bogus and funded by the CIA, is Freudianism.  This topic must be of interest to someone on the Cheers! writing staff, because it came up frequently in episodes of Cheers.  Lilith (a non-Freudian) disagreed with Frasier (a Freudian). It is as if the Biblical Lilith had returned to critique Adam&#39;s version of events.  Either way, it gives one a sense that the makers of Cheers had a writing team that knew, or sought to know their market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Esalen-Rogers method revealed that the Freudian maxims of repression and conformity were the NOT the path to the Divine, nor perfection, nor happiness.  Anna Freud&#39;s only REAL patient hanged herself in misery.  The tactics of Wall St PR move in lock step deliberation with whatever works.  The Eschalen method spawned the Human Potential Movement and was about owning your freedom.  They were Anti-Freud in the extreme ... but quickly adopted by the cutomers at Wall Street PR who, until then were buying Freudianism.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next to the modern military, the Roman Catholic Church is (was) the most efficient organization on the planet.  It was the faith in their version of mind control that was defeated, as much as Freudianism with its forced conformity.  Nuns are people whose identities were defined by a series of external rules which they deeply internalized (brides of Christ, no sex etc). After the E-R method, they concluded that prudence was an over-sold virtue and that what they wanted was to be better people &amp; respected.  They decided those goals would be better accomplished ... not as Nuns.  The nuns wanted to be respected for who they were, not what they were wearing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s not selfish to think about yourself - it&#39;s your highest duty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esalen was using what Wilhelm Reich had been writing about before he went crazy.  It is likely what caused Anna Freud to have him removed from the Int&#39;l Psychoanalytical Association (at a time when Freudianism was the only game in town).  As an outsider, Reich tried to &quot;weaponize&quot; his &#39;orgone energy&#39; (presumably to get funding), which is when the National Security rules kicked in and his books were ordered seized, removed from shelves and burned.  Yes, burned.  The lesson for others : don&#39;t withdraw and threaten the dominant paradigm (at the time : Freudianism) ... just like in Hollywood, you quickly learn that (since the Cold War) you can&#39;t knock capitalism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &#39;fixed self&#39; forces defeated the &#39;no fixed-self&#39; forces of Darkness - but psychology stumbles forward, even though its DR table centerpiece has been proven to be made of bull-plop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since then, we&#39;ve witnessed social engineers that rely on think tanks with polls &amp; surveys ... and a parade of psephologists ... but they&#39;re all really lost about what to do next.  Perhaps this is why the population has been numbed &amp; dumbed by Clear Channel and Faux News ?  TEM=RCH=SRI. In the world of street magic, an &#39;inside man&#39; is another word for &#39;executive assistant&#39;. I could be at a Christian web-site saying, &quot;the rocks cry out truth&quot; and peppering my message with Bible quotes, but I didn&#39;t take the Blue Pill.  I took the red pill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4937/3469/1600/489182/Enochian_2.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4937/3469/200/477120/Enochian_2.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SRI identified &quot;Self Directed&quot; people as the non-conformists that capitalism must appear to be conforming to. The aspirational class.  The first fruits of those labours : the &quot;Reagan Democrats&quot;, which revealed the process of turning the colourful community (alternative ideas) to the RIGHT.  They use the Space Program, the Ancient Wonders and the mystery schools of Christianity just to name a few.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you think of anyone on TV who uses the word &quot;God&quot; more than Graham Hancock ?  Are they trying to make the space program interesting to Christian fundies ?  Or, are they trying to make it UN-interesting to agnostics and atheists ?  Who is feeding the mystery machine ? Follow the tracer fire and you&#39;ll see that it&#39;s a few well-fed guard dogs (owned by wannabe Imperial Press Barons) that give covering fire to pin down the unwashed masses with well-placed machine guns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Investigating the publics for the purposes of exploiting their gullability (lure them into bad wars) is one reason why SRI was chased from the Stanford Campus by anti-War protesters in the 1960s.  The key is to maintain control over would-be leaders of a present or future Anti-War movement.  We have to medicate the uppity women with valium, prozac, paxil - we will eventually settle on whatever drug has the least suicides &amp; overdoses &amp; car accidents.  Alpha males must be kept on the run from the law - how many anti-war leaders smoked pot ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The self-directeds are the target of choice and here are the categories before, for interest sake. These are people who take the RED PILL and are not defined by their place in society (the Christians have already taken the BLUE PILL and been beamed up or weeded out).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(a) I am Me (searching for new values)&lt;br /&gt;(b) Experiential (try anything once)&lt;br /&gt;(c) Societally Conscious (do-gooders)&lt;br /&gt;(d) Self-Actualizers (looking for their niche)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Know what you are to Wall Street PR. The powers that be USED TO separate the masses by social class.  Who could argue that today, we are being sorted differently - suveys, opinion polls and taste-tests : we are sorted by our different desires &amp; drives. It&#39;s across the board - all corporations are doing it. As for the self-directed or alpha male that cannot be shaken from his God-given choice to inhale a non-toxic herb - or not.  Corporations, banks, the government will not hire anyone that is not willing to pee into the bottle for random drug tests.  So much for the workforce representing a cross-section of society.  So much for anti-discrimination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recommend that people who are asked to pee in a bottle by their employer TAKE the INITIATIVE and just go ahead and mail a poo sample to Head Office ... immediately.  (warning : if you put a return address on the sample, you will be dismissed). It&#39;s the Self-Interests that enabled Reagan to make the denial of compassion respectable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The facts are : sub-cultures will be stamped out by the coercive power of the State.  That&#39;s the final word from Wall St : hence the War on Drugs coinciding with the unholy alliance between Coors &amp; the Christian right. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4937/3469/1600/177826/Enochian_Sigil.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4937/3469/200/212268/Enochian_Sigil.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turning the cops loose on 30% or 40% of the population that like to watch cartoons and probably keep corner stores in business.

Basically, anyone who might interfere with, or prevent the super-power from throwing its military weight around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Know what you are to Wall Street and recognize how the proxies of the Big Lie will hunt you down and find you like a debt-collector or telemarketer. Coast to Coast MAKES money, so the feasability of taking over alternative radio through Clear Channel is not beyond the range of possibility. Merchants of Fear running a radio show - fear 2000, fear 2001, fear AlQaeda, fear 2012, fear 6-6-06 or 7-7-07 ... the consistency is that the Con supports a &#39;big sell&#39;.  The bottom line is, the only con out there is the con designed to divest you of every dollar you have.  The twist is, the YOU has gone from singular to part of a plural - Wall Street PR now deals with &#39;publics&#39;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why else would people like Bush jr have a job &amp; fail upwards into his &quot;Public Disservice&quot; ? To carry out the common goal : to further entrench their social position. Bush jr sees a market, not a common ... what&#39;s good for busines is automatically good for America. The retaliation is coming - it will be people realizing that out-sourcing jobs violates the Protestant Work ethic - and (after a sober reflection of oil price fixing) Americans vote to tax multi-nationals as highly as the middle class. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4937/3469/1600/565490/US_DCC_1775.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4937/3469/200/392217/US_DCC_1775.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/feeds/116600233521987333/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35640088&amp;postID=116600233521987333&amp;isPopup=true' title='778 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/116600233521987333'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/116600233521987333'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/2006/12/fur-hub-cap.html' title='Fur Hub Cap'/><author><name>Cultural Captivity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08824450176261887467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SfRJ3FUdGHI/AAAAAAAAAOE/jeQR7tDuNoQ/S220/picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words.jpg'/></author><thr:total>778</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35640088.post-116455189047201264</id><published>2006-11-26T06:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-17T00:18:30.370-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Meaty Urologist</title><content type='html'>Official&lt;br /&gt;==========&lt;br /&gt;Bird :........ the Whip or Will&lt;br /&gt;Instrument :.. the Cymbals&lt;br /&gt;Musical Note : F-sharp high-strung or the Brown Note&lt;br /&gt;Urinal Puck :  (volunteer : SkinKing)&lt;br /&gt;Colours :.....

I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years in the early 1960s to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments.

It&#39;s one of those rare times in my life I&#39;ve had nothing better to do than pollute my mind with junk-food for the soul.  There in the Situation Room, was JD Roberts.  JD Roberts ?  Huh ?  That made me wonder if I was hallucinating or possibly flashing back to when JDR was a Much Music V-J here in Canada during the late 80s.  Or maybe I was flashing back to the early 80&#39;s when JDR did the Crew News for McDonalds.  I wish I were hallucinating.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After building a resume as an embedded reporter, today, he&#39;s now John Roberts and his gig is This Week in War.  I&#39;m still blown away that he&#39;s interpreting reality for us on anything, never mind WAR.  However, I was still too lazy &amp; chilled to look for the remote, so the TV stayed on CNN for a while.  Covering Washington for CNN is Dana Bash, who blinks about 10x/second from all the eye-lash gunk she wears.  I don&#39;t know anyone in real life that wears that much, so it&#39;s really quite fascinating.  It should be a cautionary tale, because watching Dana Bash blink so many times, I now know why nobody else wears that much eye-gunk.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a mess !  What&#39;s worse : she&#39;s been blinking like that for years.  I would expect CNN would pay people to watch their own news and report on bizarre and unusual habits of reporters that the average viewer (like me) might find strange, annoying, or just plain sad.  Why don&#39;t they notice the eye-paint ?  Is it their GOAL to distract people ?  I honestly don&#39;t remember a SINGLE thing she said because it&#39;s impossible to take anyone seriously when they wear more make-up than Bozo the Clown, or when they put inky junk micro-millimeters from their eye-balls.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wait ... is the War Paint supposed to make me &quot;want&quot; her ?  Just thought I&#39;d ask, because it doesn&#39;t.  Is it supposed to make me &quot;notice&quot; her ?  Well, I noticed the inky goop, but not much else.  When I found out Larry King was going to interview Judge Judy, I made a miraculous recovery and thankfully, found the remote control just in time.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a non-news junkie, it sorta makes me wonder : if this is what I am seeing ... what am I missing ?  Who is doing the news from Hurricane-Alley ?  A fat guy with his pants down to the crack of his ass ?  Of course, my complaint is the result of recovering from the flu, so my tolerance for fools is lower than usual.  My complaint is not meant to be an attack on JD (call me John) Roberts, but more of a commentary about what passes for journalist credentials and who is being given positions of prestige &amp; authority.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How much ARE the cosmetics companies paying Dana Bash to blink like that ?  Is it a plot to de-sensitize us to eyeballs ringed with black tar.  Don&#39;t they know we&#39;re all wondering if we&#39;re witnessing a self-induced blindness - you just wanna lean in and tell her to go rinse her eyes.  Unless it&#39;s the natural look for whiter-than-white people with tears that are jet-black.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/feeds/116393275623398807/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35640088&amp;postID=116393275623398807&amp;isPopup=true' title='389 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/116393275623398807'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/116393275623398807'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/2006/11/massage-my-medium.html' title='Massage my Medium'/><author><name>Cultural Captivity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08824450176261887467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SfRJ3FUdGHI/AAAAAAAAAOE/jeQR7tDuNoQ/S220/picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words.jpg'/></author><thr:total>389</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35640088.post-116204791984662853</id><published>2006-10-28T07:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-12-02T22:39:35.746-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hallowe&#39;en</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4937/3469/1600/n_america.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4937/3469/320/n_america.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought I might as well reconcile Nazism with Atlanticism by posting some maps that might put Cape Canaveral on the radar and remind the world that Canada and the US built bases at Alert (N tip of Ellesmere Island) and Thule, Greenland.

Secret societies are support cults and do NOT grow naturally out of the landscape ... and if it appears that they do, well, that only happens under the dome of the British Empire.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This rarified Imperial air is where the idea of Zionism comes from, along with the standard operating procedure of refusing to recognize indigenous title or existing land divisions in 18th &amp; 19th century North America or 20th century Palestine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4937/3469/1600/US_DCC_1775.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4937/3469/320/US_DCC_1775.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we talk about diplomatic recognition, we are talking about an unthinking convention begun by the Vatican, continued by Christian Kings.  One needs to get a grasp of the unthinking convention first, and the required elements.  THEN we can begin to think about about the ever-changing players and the conscious intention element.&lt;br /&gt;    We need to look over the shoulder of a planner at the British Imperial Office, or the US Department of the Interior in order to reproduce the world view.  If that is not possible, the only alternative is to measure and re-create the map that hung on the walls of Kings &amp; Queens ... and I&#39;ll betcha that map is not Mercator projection.  National Geographic flooded the marketplace of ideas with Mercator Projection maps, following the British Admiralty, which had made it their preferred projection of maps sold for public consumption.  The saturation was so complete, few people rarely study cartography anymore, but rather Mercatorology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The only problem with Mercator (orthographic) Projection : the map-makers tools (square &amp; compass) are useless on that type of map - the exact type of map that everyone has been led to believe were used for expansion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Imperialism is about projecting power &amp; imposing will.  It&#39;s about seeing North America through European eyes, where European (Christian) Prophecy would play out.  What is required is the Imperial template to better follow the creation of the United States(1776), Canada *1867) and even Israel (1947) because learning how the chessboard works is what we need to understand the unthinking convention.  After that&#39;s established, we can learn more about the players in better context.  We&#39;re after the imaginations and opinions of men who received their world view (they did not discover it for themselves).  In fact, most never left their walled gardens.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/feeds/116204791984662853/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35640088&amp;postID=116204791984662853&amp;isPopup=true' title='827 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/116204791984662853'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35640088/posts/default/116204791984662853'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://place3.blogspot.com/2006/10/halloween.html' title='Hallowe&#39;en'/><author><name>Cultural Captivity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08824450176261887467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CYiq1bZq0qQ/SfRJ3FUdGHI/AAAAAAAAAOE/jeQR7tDuNoQ/S220/picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words.jpg'/></author><thr:total>827</thr:total></entry></feed>
