Alexander Solzhenitsyn' Speech At Harvard

Alexander Solzhenitsyn is well worth a listen. We in the West simply don't have a single political thinker or representative that talks about the moral vacuum at the heart of consumerism, controlled music, sports obsession and political mendacity parading as Statesmen. 

I've never heard anyone talk as hard core as this. Real conviction is so rare these days.

The Harvard crowd really gets it as well. They wouldn't today. It's all rooted in MBA's and crooked lawyers scooping up profits at the expense of social justice and equality of opportunity. 

Greed in other words.

Israel Hearts Gaza

I was researching on Cryptome and came across these photographs of Israeli bombing defenceless Palestinians last year on a date that all symbolists will understand the meaning of. 22 11 12

The lies that Israel and it's subservient global media disseminate is extraordinary. Pick any topic you like and look into it. We live in a lie.

Update: All the cryptome images have been removed so I've posted images from the latest genocide by the psychopath Israeli Nazis.

Cate Shortland - Lore

After six hours of Hitler's point of view in 'The Greatest Story Never Told' (see next post) I wasn't in the mood for a clichéd German-defeat narrative. However, Cate Shortland's Lore is a beautiful movie and steers well clear of the simple minded diagnosis of Shoah Business, nasty Nazis and Heroic Brits.

I just watched a snotty Guardian review of the movie which I totally disagree with. The movie is less about the journey than looking at the steps along the way and that starts with the first stubbing out of a cigarette by a man in his own mansion-like house on the floor. If the Guardian reviewers were paying less attention to the 'dressing' they may have spotted the leitmotif of steps along the way.

I thought the movie was going to spiral into predictable victimhood when a character reveals their Jewish identity but surprisingly it acts as a catalyst and takes the movie into new areas that the media usually avoid.

I'm all filled up on the forgotten genocides of the Second World War at the moment but this movie didn't take me over the edge and is repeatedly elegant in each film. The female star of the movie, Lore is unforgettable in terms of young German beauty and her uninvited companion delivers a role that is far more complex than I first assumed. I'm now going to watch Cate's other movie Somersault based on what she achieved in Lore.
