Spielberg's Munich

I've been wanting to watch Munich again for a long time because of the mysterious French family that assisted Mossad in their revenge killings across Europe after the Munich massacre at the 72 Olympics by a Palestinian terrorist group. It's an excellent movie with solid reviews elsewhere so this is more about my relationship with it.

I forgot how well cast it is with lovely Jewish performances by Geoffrey Rush who played in The King And I not so long back. Avner the protagonist is also flawlessly acted.

All of the Israeli, Beirut, Cypress, Athens, Rome scenes were filmed in my Malta where my mother was born and I have citizenship. I miss those blue Mediterranean waters.

I'm not a James Bond fan but Daniel Craig is the only modern incarnation I rate and his performance as a cocky South African Jew is impeccable. I love the scene where the safe house has been double booked with an enemy terrorist group on unrelated missions and they quarrel over the radio music between Arabic and Jewish short wave stations settling on Western soul music. It reminded me of a political disagreement I had with a Jewish planner in Bangkok who responded to my political stance by playing Jewish music online unaware I like all music. I didn't like her describing Palestinians in Gaza like rats though. Two wrongs don't make a right.

The German meetup pictured above is with a shadowy left wing group in Frankfurt who smoke joints and deal in violence reminded me of a small hours meeting I once had with a hippy in the deepest Hessen countryside who I later learned was a former Rote Armee Fraktion member where instead of being paid in cash we were dumped with contraband instead. So out of the frying pan, into the fire and we headed more or less immediately to Amsterdam. Early 90's madness.

Since learning about the ancient bloodlines who run much of the power structures that dominate our times, I've always wanted to go back to the scene where Avner lunches with his French information supplier and continent fixer to dig a little deeper. Their code of not working with governments or intelligence agencies sparked my curiousity, but I'm not sure there is anything more to it than family groups who deal in death and dangerous information.

There's two or three scenes including one at the end on the phone where the head of the French family expresses a paternal interest in Avner who lost his father at an early age in an Israeli war. Avner never quite understands that the affection is genuine. A broken childhood spent on a Kibbutz I think.

The film is all about revenge and living with oneself after. About an eye for an eye leaving people blind or blinded to the consequences of their actions. It closes on the twin towers though that's an ironic terminating scene given the likely French and Israeli intelligence agency cooperation in the 911 attacks.

James Horak - Hundredth Monkey Radio

My general rule of thumb is that former employees of the armed services or CIA (like John Lash/George Green et al) who provide inside information of a quality nature are to be treated with caution. One victim/recruit of the Montauk project is a walking encyclopaedia of human and non human interaction that checks out at every level and yet his contemporary foreign policy analysis is self evidently either disinformation or under mind control. It's hard enough trying to figure out what's going on with closed source information but becomes impossible when credible testimony suddenly starts to smell bad. Some days it's easier to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

James Horak is ex US Navy and in the last year or so has been talking about new information that is only liable to earn him ridicule from the uninformed. That alone is worth factoring in, on top of his sober manner which is convincing. I don't waste so much time now on the nature of what's the next level above the ancient elite bloodlines who have managed the drama throughout the centuries. I suspect all power structures are dissolving and so while the first hour of this interview is about elite venality, it's by an ex military employee presumably drawing a pension.

I'm less interested in James' conspiracy information as it's heavy on on gloom and thin on solutions so I'm just posting the second hour which is his unusual cosmos information which is still a possible reworking of Dr Norman Bergrun's Saturn's Ringmakers cut and pasted onto unexplained Sun activity. You can make your own mind up during that second hour as like me I'm sure you can hear his reluctance to answer some questions in a straight manner and the radio hosts are insufficiently skilled to probe further. 

That doesn't mean he is lying but it does mean he's finding it problematic admitting he did or does communicate to E.T. with a few who, when, why, what questions thrown in. His credibility isn't helped in this interview once again by outbursts of incongruous laughing and intimidated hosts who think Melville is for the avid reader. See for yourself. The link for the first hour is here if you like conspiratorial vitriol. 

I find it tedious. Fear Porn is cheap and voluminous.
