Soylent Green - 1973








One of my favourite experiences in Bangkok was buying freshly made tofu at about 3am, as I lived a stones throw from the central wet market.

Imagine my shock when a fitness fanatic friend informed me soy is one of the most unhealthy foods for endocrine disruptors or something like that.

I'm not sure when I learned a soy-themed movie existed, but with a name like Soylent I was immediately intrigued.

It's set in 2022, so it has nothing to do with now, but I noticed some themes in the movie, like food and land ownership metrics, and later on founded-out some quite dramatic stuff about the character, I think called Sol and played thought-provokingly by Edward G. Robinson.

Another theme I noticed was masks, but the movie is set in 2022 so it has nothing to do with this and last years' muzzles, but the main food is sold by a corporation that own's half the land. Does that sound familiar?

The screenplay is about 50% right according to the author who I suspect had his work stolen from him.

Update and spoiler. The movie's main thrust has become reality.

Corporate Espionage is a Problem




As part of my work I get to look at a lot of very senior technology profiles. The number one identity involved with commercially available intercept, monitoring and snoop technology are Israelis and dual passport Zionists. 

Now mathematically that raises a question. If they were all Welsh or Moroccan (a similar sized country chosen at random), would anybody think it's worth asking a question. Is this power and influence disproportionate to population size?

In my experience people are obsessed with numbers and turn a blind eye when entrained to do so.

Copy Loey!!



Reminds me of this award winning ad a bit. (The above is Coca-cola's Minute Maid) on the subway at Silom Station in Bangkok.
