We Are The 99%

It's the context that makes this interesting enough to post as it resonates with the the current protest slogan and/or tweet of 'We're the 99%' resounding at #occupywallstreet and large cities around the world. I think the intellectual space for commercial messages that illuminate our collective aspirations like this are are possibly one of the few ways forward if something as disruptive as say zero point energy emerged from the vaults of Lockheed Martin Skunkworks or wherever oil busting technology goes to die. 

Otherwise there's no real case for branding. Utility prospers over competitive volume control in egalitarian cultures where supply and demand as well as price parity and quality kind of level out the need advertise. And believe me given the extraordinary lengths big oil corporations have taken to suppress energy technology, I'm convinced that free energy, levels a lot of playing fields.

Anyway I thought I'd ramble a bit because the ad has so little to do with Whiskey drinking but is a lovely idea. I got it over at George Parker's blog which is worth following for the straightest shooting corporate commentary on the net and that's not bullshit. Not bad for a gnarly old ad whore.

Copenhagen Fall Out - Niels Bohr & Werner Heisenberg

Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg were close friends before the war and the race to create an atomic bomb commenced. In many ways they were both puppets for the war making profit-machine cunningly disguised as a plain old axis-of-money and power. This was the Bush family banking interests from the time of Prescott Walker Bush who funded the rise of Nazi Germany through close links with I.G. Farben. It's an annoying feature of early third millennium living that calling the Bush family Nazis raises a weak smile of ironic recognition when regrettably I'm being serious.

Like men many before and after them, Bohr and Heisenberg were divided and ruled by ancient bloodline and business dynasties doing what they do best. They had no idea who was ultimately pulling the strings of history while the rest of humanity got on with what we do best. Singing songs, waving flags and stomping off to the battlefields to slaughter each other.

The documentary isn't too bad if one factors in the the real history of the global race to build a bomb. It doesn't take to much imagination to portray the 20th century as little more than a game to observe who would build the ultimate weapon first, and see how they would dominate the rest of the planet with the power it bestows.

Evidence for prehistoric atomic weapons is found in glassy fused sand remains, corpses that died instantaneously in blistering heat and high radioactivity readings  in the same locations where the Mahabharata outlines these conflicts took place. Add those ancient Indian scripture quotes from the Baghavad Gita that Robert Oppenheimer used after Trinity tests and it all looks a little like some grand cyclical monkey drama, endlessly looping until such time as men wake up and understand that manipulation is the Occam's razor explanation for an entire planet where greed is rewarded, death on the battlefield is lionized and taking more than one needs is celebrated.

Krystle Cole - Neurosoup

Krystle Cole is an ambassador for considering the responsible use of entheogens such as Ayahuasca, Psilocybin or DMT. I've written about her before as she has an incredibly interesting story that I can't imagine Hollywood ignoring if it gets over its two faced glorification of killing while too spineless to tackle the importance of meaningful issues such as the topic of sacred medicines.

Every time I listen to her I'm aware of her spiritual advancement and unique candid articulation. Not bad for a former Gothic stripper, nuclear bunker dweller and unfortunate victim of male manipulation and assault.

Update: Original video deleted. Krystle no longer takes psychedelics.
