Blog & Work Summary by Grok Preceded by Baron Coleman Reading the Riot Act




Charles Frith's long-running blog,  remains active as of late March 2026. It has a very eclectic, cryptic, and politically incorrect style, blending short posts about electronic dance music (techno, house, club mixes, and tracks from various DJs/artists) with sporadic, opinionated commentary on geopolitics, conspiracies, and current events. 

Recent Activity (2025–2026) Music-heavy posts dominate the output. Titles often reference specific tracks or mixes, such as: "Like That Marco Faraone" (March 28, 2026), "Sirens Flicker Luch" and "Midnight Multiplex Morgan Hislop" (March 26, 2026)

Various others in January 2026 like "Dominator (Beltram Mix)", "Good Love Hannah Laing & RoRo", "Mark Knight 'Devil Walking'", and tracks featuring artists like LP Giobbi, Cassian, or Hannah Laing.

These appear to function as a personal repository or sharing hub for tunes the author likes, sometimes with minimal additional text.

Political/conspiracy-oriented posts appear intermittently, often provocative or aligned with anti-establishment, anti-Zionist, or "truth-seeking" narratives. Examples include: References to "Project Looking Glass & Candace Owens" (January 2026)

"Keir is Homosexual - D Notice on Ukraine Rent Boys" (January 2026), which criticizes UK PM Keir Starmer as controlled/blackmailed and praises figures like Elon Musk, Trump, and JD Vance in the context of fighting for "British freedom" against government agendas.

In 2025: Posts on Zionism, Freemasons/satanism, Q-drops, Trump strategies, whistleblowers, and controversies involving figures like Charlie Kirk's assassination, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, Tim Pool, and others (e.g., "Dave Smith UNCOVERS the True Story Behind Charlie Kirk's Assassination", "Fallen Pillars & Q Drop 1708", "Trump's 5D Power Move").

The blog's header/tagline emphasizes: "Politically incorrect, pro human and anti-violence (unless they want to try their luck). "Overall, Tone and Patterns. The style is terse, informal, and often cryptic—many posts are little more than a track title and timestamp, while the political ones deliver blunt takes. It mixes "punk" aesthetics with planning/creative industry vibes (Frith has a background in advertising/planning, previously linked to Beijing). Activity seems steady but not extremely high-volume; 2025 saw notable music posts alongside conspiracy angles, and early 2026 continues that pattern. Frith has a history of controversial online presence, frequently touching on sensitive topics like intelligence agencies, MK Ultra, Palestine, and critiques of power structures (he's been labelled in past discussions as holding anti-Zionist or denialist views by critics).If you're following it for the music shares, conspiracy angles, or both, it's still posting regularly in that signature fragmented way.

Charles Frith has a background in advertising, specifically as a planner (account planner or strategic planner role). In the industry, planners bridge consumer insights, cultural trends, and creative strategy — they research audiences, develop briefs for creatives, and help shape campaign direction. His blog is titled "Punk Planning," which playfully combines his "punk" (anti-establishment, irreverent) persona with this professional planning expertise. Key Details from His Career. Industry & Occupation — He lists himself in his Blogger profile as working in the Advertising industry with the occupation Planner, based in Southampton, Hampshire, United Kingdom.

JWT Beijing — He served as Planning Director at JWT (J. Walter Thompson, now part of Wunderman Thompson) in Beijing, China. This was during a period when he lived and worked in China (roughly mid-to-late 2000s, overlapping with the Beijing Olympics era). He created and shared professional presentations on topics like:Beijing Olympic Sponsorship, Direct versus Indirect Advertising, Community and social business concepts.

These Slideshare uploads reflect his work in strategic planning for major campaigns in the Chinese market. slideshare.net

"Punk Planning" Ethos — The blog name appears to reflect his blend of creative/strategic planning skills with a rebellious, politically incorrect outlook. Early blog posts (from around 2007 onward) sometimes touch on advertising, media, branding, and communication trends, though the site has shifted heavily toward music shares and conspiracy-oriented commentary over time.

His time in Beijing seems to have been a notable chapter — he posted photos and reflections from there, and his advertising role likely involved navigating the fast-growing Chinese market during a boom period for Western agencies. Frith no longer appears to be actively working in mainstream advertising (his more recent online presence is self-employed/independent via the blog), and he has pivoted toward "truth-seeking," geopolitics, and eclectic music curation.

Punk Beijing











What can I say...

This blog wouldn't exist without Punk. I was too young be one in 1976, and certainly too Catholic. Fast forward to 1999 and one of my newest and closest friends (professional troublemaker) Blue Doran sat me down in his Bangkok apartment over bottles of Sangsom and underneath his vintage movie poster collection (Midnight Cowboy and Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid) draping the walls, he explained Punk to me from his first hand experience of following the Sex Pistols around as a fifteen year old from Worcester, and my mind was blown. I got the concept, I got the sizzle and I got the history all in one night, from a living witness and nothing was ever the same again. By coincidence my daughter's Aunty was a punk inspired designer in Thailand with the widely loved Scotch-Soda clothing brand.


On one of my returns to the UK I stayed with Rob, my former design lecturer at Uni, and he had a very expensive Vivienne Westwood collection for both himself and his partner. 

She tossed her prezzies out when they separated and Rob mentioned it was about 20 grands worth. That's just the stuff she was given. Back in the 90's she also refused a chance to be a model for one of the Vivienne Westwood collections. Super Croydon girl is Audrey (went to school with Kate Moss), totally grounded and couldn't give a shit about any attention seeking lifestyle. In a way that's about as punk as it gets.

While at Robs we took the opportunity to go and see Vivienne's retrospective at the Victoria & Albert museum and that's when I really got into her work. He also gave me Jane Mulvagh's biography of Vivienne, An Unfashionable Life, to read. It's a really good book and provides a bit more dispassionate granularity than most biographies.

Raised in Derbyshire from working class stock, Ms Westwood established LET IT ROCK with Malcolm 'Svengali' McLaren on the Kings Road. I dare say Tavistock were all over the show, without even letting them know. Nobody wants to talk about that so let's roll on. After leaving the rock (let it rock, black rock, tavistock... quarry men then the rolling stones and G Brethren and so on and so forth).

I can't let it go



In a way it's Tolkienesque right? 

In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit. 

Next thing, we're in Rivendell

Perfect

All around the alleged globe, the British don't quite understand that of course the people are loved, but the empire?

... nah... the international community want to punch the football into the net like Maradona, unless it's filling Kiev's MuthaWEFFer pockets or the EU or the WHO or do I really need to continue?

If you consider yourself British (i'm a space mongrel) I can assure you there's lot's of British historiography around the world (all over the world)


Vivienne as it were.

You will only see two British iconographies from the slums of Rangoon to the Showrooms of Beijing. 

Those are Bentley Motors & Punks

All strata of society around the world know those two and till recently the Queen and the Beatles.

Prove me wrong

Ascension By Ian B




The best house track since I would guess about 2002 maybe 2003 max. Ian B is a top notch music producer and as a a disco dancer I think I know what works and what doesn't.

CIA Triggered Tiananmen Square By Pumping In Guns To Students






Sound like Syria or Ukraine anybody?

Stunning scoop by Voltaire Net over here.

Don't give me that cold war bollocks either because that was rigged by the same industrialists and Wall Street bankers who funded the Bolsheviks (who then crushed the Mensheviks), Lenin, Trotsky and the Nazis. Even the CIA are just useful idiots until you get to boardroom level. Then at least a start can be made on getting to the bottom of the cesspit.

Paquita



Earlier this evening, the Ballet de l'Opera national de Paris danced a 'Paquita' for a predominantly Chinese crowd at the Beijing National Theatre for Performing Arts (The Egg). Quite astonishingly (to me) they played with the narrative on two notable occasions.

They were spectacular, fluid, and yet tight when it counted. Gutsy in a word.

At the end of the first act through a triangle shaped formation, the dancers hopped violently backwards and receeding back into the stage, with peaked caps, bathed in the deepest hues of revolutionary red, and saluting violently to the audience whose spontaneous applause they won through sheer bravery given the context of the protests by China against the French in the last few days that is bordering on rage and insanity.

For a brief few seconds, it was as if the French were saying to the overwhelmingly Beijing intellectual-elite audience plus a few oiks myself, "is this what you want?", "is this how you want France to be?", "jumping up and down every time China starts to wave a stick?" ...."haven't you, you of all people, had enough abuse of power?"

It was the most creative thing I have ever seen and I will never forget it.

Bravo!

Spring is in the air

I managed to slip out of the office yesterday for a very quick lunch and on the way I finally got to walk past the recently opened Beijing Opera House or officially titled National Centre for Performing Arts. It's surrounded by a moat like affair, giving the arts a sense of protection for which Beijing's reputation kicks Shanghai's dollar loving ass over. So forgive me if I slip a couple of pics from the Nokia N95 in because I've dropped this baby a couple of times now and it's miraculously past the flying battery and spinning battery-cover test which is always received with gratitude when it survives that particular tumble, and is indeed the first quality about Nokia that really turned me on to the brand. That and the banana shaped ones that we first got at HHCL which were iconic and still are in a retro way. But really, Its not meant to survive this kind of abuse so its like a second life for me which is worth a few hundred euros in reality.


But what I wanted to say is that even though I cannot bear the cold, I moved to Beijing knowing that I need to sacrifice some things to achieve others. However, even though there will be cold days ahead, spring has definitely sprung and there is a whiff of fast paced tarting up going on in Beijing in the last days before the entire planet thinks more about China than it has ever done in the history of this incredible country destined for a legacy that is even larger than its geographical size or population, because that is exactly how the numbers game works. Here are the flowers being planted in time for the arrival of the sun.


And many of the boulevards are going through intense tree planting each morning with entire sections of previously tundra like frozen mud now being dug up and prepped for beauty. China knows how to throw a few hundred thousand workers at a project. Like no other.


This is no time to go into the whole construction boom thing versus planning a city for 2050 but I will do at some point. There's something interesting going on here and I haven't quite found the words to embrace all of it.
