I can feel a little Japanese film season blending in with my 'classics I've managed to miss' period I'm going through. I was recommended Tampopo by Tim over at Cultural Snow. It's almost a Japanese slapstick movie with lots of comedic and random story digressions that are irrelevant to the central plot while not harming the overall movie. It's very funny in places and rarely fails to charm.
Above I've posted one of the more drole pieces, and below is the oyster catcher scene which had me choking on my Sriracha sauce. It is for my money barely legal Japanese Adult Video (JAV) in the making as he eats the oyster from her hand (I'm sure there's no metaphor intended).
She's either eight or eighteen depending on the camera angle. The Japanese are outrageous that way. Once I had an unpleasant Japanese boss who allowed me to send an email from his notebook in Tokyo as my adaptor wasn't working. As I typed in a URL there was all sorts of school girl stuff in the drop down list. So when he fired me after a magnificent meeting in Shanghai where I was on shamefully top form, I sent him an email saying I was quite broad minded but the advertising community might have a few problems with this kind of content. It was naughty of me because I didn't know all this school girl stuff is pretty normal for lots of Japanese men but blimey they push it to the edge don't they?
I was completely in the dark, that Robert Bauval (who has a bit of Maltese Falcon in him if I'm not mistaken) had already co-authored a book with Graham Hancock called Talisman on this subject. It's now been updated with The Master Game. I'm going to listen to this interview by Red Ice Creations at least once more as it's the best outline of the pernicious Masonic influence in the establishment of Israel. I'm very cautious about what is going on in the Middle East as it's bloody obvious that many parties around the world (including inside the Knesset) are gagging for a conflict so they can divide and rule the world along antiquated religious lines or act out a self fulfilling religious prophecy.
I think it's fair to say that there's no point wasting breath on the religious zealots of all three Abrahamic religions but just in case you're unfamiliar with the origins and elite manipulation to establish Israel as a rich source of future-conflict long before we were born then make sure you're not sucked into a dispute where the point is to take sides by educating yourself. This is one of the best interviews on the subject I've come across, and I've read significantly more history on the subject to shoot down both sides and spot the Zionist anti-Zionist shit-stirring bullshit flying around that detracts from the challenge of problem solving.
I'm a pragmatist. Israel exists, it's there. Any attempt to change that is madness so let's deal with Israel in a way that curbs their psychopaths (Netanyahu I'm looking at you) and doesn't play into the hands of the other nut jobs that are waltzing into a pre scripted ancient drama through their own ignorant fundamentalism. You're missing the point if you think this wasn't meant to play out in our time.
Most people in Israel are fare more constructive about Palestine than the AIPAC psychopaths who have the U.S. by a lobby funded testicle grip. This fascinating interview puts everything from the Dreyfus Affair to the Balfour Declaration and much more in an easy to absorb interview that runs on an extra twenty minutes through the generosity of Red Ice's Henrik Palmgren so that a vital part of the story as told by Robert Bauval is completed. Superb.
Robert Bauval was born in Alexandria, Egypt to Belgian parents. He is a researcher of ancient Egypt and a bestselling author, probably best known for his Orion Correlation Theory. In this interview Robert will talk about his latest book, co-authored with Graham Hancock called, The Master Game: Unmasking the Secret Rulers of the World. The Master Game is a part-conversion and update of the previous book Talisman (2004) which now takes into account 911 and the so-called 'War on Terror' and exposes its true origins, as well as exposes the clash of civilization that is taking us head on towards a Biblical Armageddon. Robert will trace an ancient conflict, a master game, from its deepest roots in ancient Egypt to today. We'll explore deeper into the conflict between the Jews and the Arabs and the formation of the State of Israel. Then, we'll discuss the Masonic & Zionist conspiracy theories and political and religious movements, which he'll tie into the master game. He ends the hour talking about the dangers of getting caught up in the game as well as the absurdity of it. Robert urges us to see what is going on, to expose it and to end it.
