VUK JOVANOVICH MARK PHILLIPS & CATHY O'BRIEN - CIA'S MK-ULTRA MIND CONTROL PROGRAM DOCUMENTARY













12 years later and I finally got to see Cathy O'Brien's daughter Kelly. I also learned that Dick Cheney and George Bush Sr raped them both. At a lodge.

WOW - New Forest ¬ A Year In The Wild Wood





One of my weaknesses [I have them] is I thin-slice people I meet, which is to say that I pigeon-hole them in a few seconds rather than allow their character to shine through.... in its own time.

I don't mind confessing, I thought Peter Owen-Jones was kitted out in the best New Forest squire-attire and was thus fake.

I couldn't have been more wrong. After multiple WOWs I was a fan. I know the New Forest and Lymington fairly well, but I probably quadrupled my knowledge listening to Peter. WOW indeed.

If only the BBC could sell off their propaganda division?

Let the talent flourish I say. It's boastful to pigeonhole this kind of filmmaking as unequalled throughout the world. 

It's more accurate in my mind, to say no media institution makes more of this quality.

It's a compliment

Hearts of Darkness - Francis Ford Coppola's Documentary of Apocalypse Now



For a long time one of my all-time favourite movies was Apocalypse Now. It still is but, y'know, things move on and change.

It was no surprise to discover that at some point I'd randomly downloaded a documentary of the making of the film.

What I didn't anticipate was the documentary coming to life without my assistance while working on a computer, and discovering it was so compelling that I had to stop my tasks, watch it properly and then watch it again.

There's a few books that are just overrated flim-flam and have a suspicious smell of agenda more than talent. Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad is one, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is another, and so is Moby Dick by Herman Melville, although that particular book didn't take off till after his death.

Don't mistake me. All three books have magnificent flourishes of writing but just don't stand up all the way through, and dozy academics can't even call it out, as I noticed on an 'In Our Time's recent episode'.

In a way Coppola is grappling with this weak story ending, and tries to fill the gap with a very bloated, uncooperative and superficial Marlon Brando.

What is exceptional is watching the making of the movie unfold and learning for the first time that Francis Ford Coppola (It's always a triple whammy when it comes to triplet names if we're paying attention) funded the movie himself before Vietnam movies became a thing in the eighties and early nineties, and it was acceptable to portray a soon to be 'defeated' Pentagon.

We now know much of that was scripted by Bell Helicopter and Daniel Ellesberg who is portrayed as a hero, but actually worked as a throat slitter for the CIA in much the same manner that Snowden isn't NSA, but a CIA contractor.

It's all about optics you see. That's why Snowjob gets a movie made about him, and Julian Assange languishes in the worst prison in the UK, Belmarsh.

Coppola starts off this documentary with a fine set of man boobs and a pasta-gut that wouldn't look out of place on a man 20 years older. However, when the shit hits the fan he starts losing kilos at a time, and by the end is a slender motherfucker at the screening. 

He did go through hell, but also had the balls for it.

I really fell in love with Francis in this documentary, as I have with his daughter's work in recent years. He has that Italian American body language that my political mentor had back in the day, and I wish I could have observed this before he passed on, his wife too only weeks ago.

Oh well, Joe and Kathy are reunited again and they're still in my thoughts. You were both great with me and it was a privilege to know you both.

One thing I never talked about with Joe was that his wife's first lover died in Vietnam. I never shared it with her husband but it was a vista of life I'd only ever known previously, on film.... such as Apocalypse Now.

New Extended Documentary - 2 & 1/2 hours of Kubrick



Warner Brothers, like every Hollywood studio is in deep trouble. 

When the masses discover how Hollyweird works it will tank, along with it's celebrity spunkdom, Faustian pacts and child raping directors including Spielberg and Woody who both appear in this new documentary, but obviously to airbrush Stanley's legacy when there's so much more to the man.

Kubrick was the Illuminati's film director and had access to a lot of information unavailable to most people before the internet. In this documentary I was reminded that Adrenochrome is mentioned in Clockwork Orange, in addition to the main theme of MK Ultra programming.

Kubrick took a lot of risks and may have paid the highest price. Or he might have just run out of being useful and thrown under a bus. One day we'll know.

Finders Keepers - A Documentary





Finders keepers is a terrific little documentary, set in the southern parts of the United States. It's the kind of film that Hollywood would ordinarily cast Billy Bob Thornton in, and which he excels at.

Instead of Hollywood, it's a grounded documentary about the influence of the media on very normal people. Well, I say ordinary people but these characters are the kind of people who are simple but also very complex.

It would be easy to critique these homely people and the effect that a concentrated media presence had upon them. However, it was the appearance on a TV show that lead to one of the protagonists finally seeking help for his alcohol and drug addictions.

It's also a documentary about ownership and possession, and how in some respects we don't own things, because its things that end up owning us. In the end everything works out for the better, though not without many tears, pain and heartbreak. 

The greatest learning from this documentary is that sometimes ill intentioned people can be a catalyst for our own growth and this is a learning and mindset we should carry with us each day.

There is a loser in this movie, but only because he doesn't recognise the lesson delivered to him for what it is.

Mountbatten - Secret Lives Documentary




Update - Original video removed. Close approximation used to replace.

This documentary is far more informative than the Brian Hoey puff piece "Secret Story".

Searching For Sugarman - 2012



As good a music documentary as you'll ever watch. This is heart warming and also obliquely informative about apartheid South Africa which, we learn, didn't have television until 1976 it was so authoritarian.

It's a great example of how music and art can connect with people who are in a long dark tunnel.

Racing Extinction - 2015



Every subject is weaponized so I understand those who mistakenly conflate climate change politics with ocean acidification because of their mutual connection to carbon dioxide levels.

This documentary is a powerful wake up call and even though research is often weaponized to prove one point or another I see no reason for not being the best custodians of the oceans and seas that we can. The Manta Ray scene above is very moving and a possible example of emergence.

The question remains what will the post-Anthropocene age look like?

The Source Family




It took a week to download The Source Family through a torrent, but it was worth the wait. There's some crucial points in it not mentioned in the earlier presentation I posted. It's still a remarkable story and it's impossible not to find this information among the most interesting available. 

Anyone seeking their way around the Knights Templar, Sufi Mysticism, Illuminati and Freemasons while also exploring sexual magic and tantra surrounded by some of the most interesting people of the time is worth exploring. Some of his disciples went on to become multimillionaires in software, stem cell research and of course a few are left bitter with their experiences ,but once again I can't spot any outside interference as we have seen from CIA shenanigans through the Jim Jones Massacre or Children of God.

There's a lot of symbolism in this documentary posted above, that I would ordinarily feel uncomfortable with, but like the photo with an infant covering Jim Baker's genitals it's self evident there's no dark side involved in the scene, though as I learned in this documentary Jim Baker had indeed done criminal acts before he became Father.

Marty Feldman




I had no idea Marty Feldman was English, well educated and only developed his bulging eyes after an overactive thyroid operation. Lot's of Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder connections in this documentary as well as Monty Python, Spike Milligan and a milieu of comedy writers, actors and editors.

I only laughed once but I still highly recommend it.

Charles Manson





One of the more credible explanations for Charles Manson is his mind control programming as part of the CIA's/Network's MK ULTRA program. There are still unanswered questions like Who was his handler, How was he triggered (by telephone?) and What methodology was used (Trauma Based Mind Control/Harmonics/Drugs?).

The synchronicity pointing to this mind control link, lies with Roman Polanski, Sharon Tate and Rosemary's Baby and will be elaborated later.

Capturing The Friedmans





The 2003 documentary Capturing the Friedmans, about a son and father who abused children in their home-based computer classes is a freak show. 

In some ways it acts as a spearhead for false memory syndrome (a discredited psychiatric "syndrome") to undermine children's testimony despite the admission of the the protagonists Jesse and Arnold Friedman to abusing children. The film's director Andrew Jarecki does a good job of muddying the waters as the above clip reveals. 

The full documentary is here on Youtube but cannot be embedded. It's well worth watching. My own feelings are the most insincere characters are David Friedman who changed his name to David Kaye and is a professional clown entertaining the children of the rich famous in New York, and pulling in six figures for it; and the the only victim to record his testimony on film identified anonymously and silhouetted as Gregory Dough. Both of them come across as more insincere than Jesse and Arnold who admitted to abusing children.

One striking element in this predominantly Jewish movie, is the memory correlation with german prison camp survivors often called the holocaust. I was on a train, I was in trauma, I was in a prison camp against my will, people died and therefore the gas chambers are real and so is the figure of 6 million.

Cycling´s Greatest Fraud - Lance Armstrong




I can highly recommend this documentary. The olympian ability of Lance Armstrong to lie over and over again straight into the camera while forcing him and his team mate cyclists to take blood transfusions to hide the cocktail of drugs they were taking shocked me.

The more power and money something is associated with the less likely it has any chance of being real.

The Last Romans - Sagalassos




In my view Sagalassos is more Roman Byzantium, and so as the documentary doesn't really emphasize that, it's worth pointing out that this is historically, an Eastenders production and not really W1. 

It is however a gorgeous documentary that does the best renditions-on-ruins of Roman architecture (the Byzantines called themselves Romans and still do in parts of Greece) I've seen yet. 

If Mary Beard's speciality is bringing ordinary Romans to life, this production restores the high society architecture of Roman living to its former glory.

A Very British Witchcraft - Gerald Gardner & Wicca




I'd heard of Wicca through a few friends but didn't really understand what it was all about. This documentary is quite good fun. Gerald Gardener was packed off to the Middle East as a young boy to keep his asthma at bay and came back to the UK a fully fledged weirdo in the best-of-British sense of the word. 

I quite like Wiccans now. 

I'm always up for nature worship and the divine feminine even if it it comes bundled with a 20th century pagan witchcraft religion.

Beyond JFK : The Question of Conspiracy




This documentary has very good quality early 90's interviews with JFK researchers Oliver Stone, Jim Marrs and Jim Garrison.

There's also some guy from the New York Times who does the usual blah blah that journalists and editors do when confronted by their professional obligations to suck up to the establishment.

Ken Loach | Spirit of 1945




It's forcefully evident to me that the British people's booting out of that warmonger wanker Churchill after WWII, for Clement Atlee's Labour Party, has been whitewashed by the corporate media™ and academia.

This is to keep the British people ignorant of the power they have to shape society. One of the best politicians of the century barely get's a mention and it's not hard to see why.

Currently the largest transfer of public wealth to private pockets is taking place, in front of people seemingly oblivious to the historical legacy of 1945.

Ken Loach's Spirit of 1945 didn't teach me enough of the technocratic details I wanted to know, but it does convey the human values that a fair society rests on.

The documentary doesn't deal with the complexities of 21st century living, and so it's not a very good catalyst for encouraging young people to come together and boot out the parasitic elite who run the planet.

It is however a documentary about people who cared for their neighbours, took an interest in their communities, and weren't fixated on greed. status and materialism.

Wall St Queue Jumpers - HIgh Frequency Trading Algorithms




Whether you're Capitalist, Anti Capitalist or indifferent, this is one of the best money documentaries I've seen in a while. It conveyed to me that high frequency trading has nothing to do with economics because it is its own economic system and larger than the system it feeds off for reasons of mutual and pension fund buying patterns.

Where it also got interesting for me is the documentary is stuffed with the best of the best brains. The climate scientists, biological mathematicians, algorithm developers blah blah blah who all make money on Wall St instead of doing something useful for the planet.

Haim Bodeck is a legend in these circles but despite is awesome brain power it took him a year to realise it wasn't his algorithm code that fucked up, but was instead a conspiracy by others to jump the queue in orders on Wall St.

This is much like JFK and 9/11 conspiracy. Unless you can conceive it is possible, it doesn't matter how much evidence is in front of your eyes you will block it. As I've always said. It's the implications of conspiracy that freaks people out and I'm afraid most of the complex corruption cases called conspiracy (that I study) are true.

The world is not as it seems. 

Watch this documentary. 

It's important.
