Ken Loach - Kes

I've been meaning to watch Kes for decades. Because I'd watched Spirit of 1945 earlier today, also by Ken Loach, I thought I'd play Kes, and I was very impressed. 

This film was made in the year of my birth 1969, and what a miserable period that was to be born in working class England. 

It's very gritty, very 'oop North' and coal pit grimy.

In some ways it reminded me of Billy Elliot. The actor in this who plays another Billy character (real life name David/Dai Bradley) is just superb. It seems at times as if we're watching a fly on the wall documentary.

Billy Casper is a misfit with a low attention span, lost in his own world and physically immature, getting clipped, caned or slapped around all the time by his mother, brother, teachers and fellow pupils. 

My childhood wasn't like this but I knew kids who were from time to time. It was poignant to watch.

Ken Loach | Spirit of 1945

It's forcefully evident to me that the British people's booting out of that warmonger wanker Churchill after WWII, for Clement Atlee's Labour Party, has been whitewashed by the corporate media™ and academia.

This is to keep the British people ignorant of the power they have to shape society. One of the best politicians of the century barely get's a mention and it's not hard to see why.

Currently the largest transfer of public wealth to private pockets is taking place, in front of people seemingly oblivious to the historical legacy of 1945.

Ken Loach's Spirit of 1945 didn't teach me enough of the technocratic details I wanted to know, but it does convey the human values that a fair society rests on.

The documentary doesn't deal with the complexities of 21st century living, and so it's not a very good catalyst for encouraging young people to come together and boot out the parasitic elite who run the planet.

It is however a documentary about people who cared for their neighbours, took an interest in their communities, and weren't fixated on greed. status and materialism.

Breakaway Civilisation Analysis - Most UFO's Are Ours, Not Theirs

It's been a long time since I originally covered the breakaway civilisation topic but recent interviews have reignited my belief that post war technology was taken by a breakaway group and is many decades ahead of the traditional military technology we see discussed.

It may also explain why Obama shelved some NASA budgets on Mickey Mouse projects to pursue the ongoing myth that we can go back to the moon.

There's a lot of excellent information in this interview with Joseph Farrell who is usually a lot more guarded about the content of his books. This is an interview to take notes if you like to research things later.
