The Great Gore Vidal on Coincidence Realists

x

Gore Vidal was the only person of his class who had the courage to take a closer look at the events of his day, and saw what many of us have concluded. The official narrative is nonsense.

It is for this reason we have to give Gore Vidal credit where it is due. He was a real intellectual and there are so few of them in the spineless consensus reality dupes that the corporate media and power elite serve up for those who have 30 second attention spans between spectator sports and reality shows.

The media are trying to smear his reputation now, but this is the same media that protected Jimmy Savile. Don't trust them. They're smearing his name because he told us a little about reality. 

I wont link to the stories but you can find them with a quick search.

Update: I had to change the video which was a C-SPAN clip, again.

Bangkok Street Scenes 1971

There's some real vintage Thailand video-gems being uploaded to Youtube these days. Many are from seasoned German tourists visiting Thailand back in the day, with cine film cameras and now sharing their home edited films and so forth. 

This one has street scenes from Bangkok including the old Erawan Shrine before it was smashed up by a mentally ill person who was then chased and killed by a mob (mob mentality).

There are also Chinatown (Yaowarat) scenes, Ratchadamnoen Avenue (I think), the Art Deco Hua  Lamphong Station, Khlong Saen Sab (by the looks of the low bridge) and possibly Rama IV.

If I've made any mistakes or you spot anything else I'd love to hear from you. 

I've also been posting some vintage Pattaya and Jomtien Beach videos over at my Jomtien blog.

Teppanyaki Kamakazi

Magician, Doc Penguino of Thailand's brilliant short film Teppanyaki Kamikaze is a must watch if you fancy a good laugh and a little insight into a very contemporary slapstick movie set in a modern Thailand that is rarely portrayed in the tourist driven media.

Watch it over here, and please vote for it if you like it as much as I did.
