War & Technology Porn

I think Wired do an enthusiastic yet unaspirational job of technology reporting. Unexpectedly, the last four weeks in a row , I've been blown away by The New Scientist's front cover stories telling a different narrative that is more faithful to the true scientist which is one of humility. How much we don't know, what science can't tell us, what we are unlikely to ever discover and this weeks story on the multiverse which I think is one of the few times we can use the word profound without risk of hyperbole. 

Many people are overwhelmed by ideas of an infinite number of universes, and prefer not to think about science's claim of, for example, the existence of another universe where one is a double hand amputee victim, and thus unable to search the internet using a traditional mouse as you are now invariably doing. 

The idea of this specific timeline uncoiling among an infinite number of potential and actual timelines is only cosmically coherent if the notion of free will and decision making is the precursor to a timeline branching off into another electromagnetic or holographic universe. 

Put another way you're living in Grand Theft Auto Gaza-Strip and the video effects are very realistic.

You can thank the creator for that or if that's a problem, thank yourself by learning a little about Pandeism whereby we are co-creating reality in a momentarily disappearing collision of the past and the future, that we call the present.

I find it revolting to see Science's inability to pause and reflect, and do a little balancing of the books. A quick tally of the numbers of hungry, sick and impoverished people on the planet over the course of the scientific century tells me the Higgs boson will be understood more quickly than how to feed people. 

That's a shit stain on 20th century materialist science's pretension of progress, and no better dramatised by people who think discussing their latest oblong of I ME MINE Appleness is any more interesting to me than  being collared by a watch lover and given a lecture as to it's features and benefits. I just don't care about your tech. It's an illusion that will only hit home when the penny drops that technology can't be eaten but rice can. Taking an interest in where suffering can be alleviated is human. Not gazing into a screen of distraction.

Recently I've started taking offence to the war-porn blogs that are populated by psychopathy. These writers and commenters are jerking off to killing machines yet as soon as I point out that those assault vehicles/drones helicopters/iphone geotrackers would do a terrific job of picking off the residents of Boca Ratone or Key West the hypocritical rage and offence is extraordinary. I got banned yesterday from commenting on one war porn blog by Raymond Pritchett of Information Dissemination. He wrote

@charlesfrith not funny. Joking about killing Americans is not acceptable behavior. You have been banned.

He deleted that tweet later, but I want to make it clear to him. I only use obvious satire about killing Americans, but the killing business you pimp off is larger than the next 17 countries in the world. It is paid for by impoverished but frugal Asian savers through loans that are extorted with obvious military threats of retaliation and lastly but most importantly the U.S. weapons you stroke in your mind, kill real and innocent people day in and day out.

I ask you Raymond Pratchett

Is it really my satire that is unacceptable or is it the charade of goodness you call the American Way? The reality you are really jerking off to every time your priapism for war porn takes over you, and your readers, was in the Huffington Post yesterday (picture below), and I left a much more sober comment there because unlike you, I honour the soldiers by thinking about ways to keep them out of war. Not fetishising their killing.

Why Let Psychopathy Into Your Home?

I don't have a television but the last time I was drenched by HDTV Libya war reporting just as it was kicking off it made me feel sick to my stomach. Seeing how they hoodwinked you one more time into a war over oil. Will you ever learn? By coincidence SaLuSa warns us of this and even if you don't buy into who is doing the speaking, the 'what' is being said, specifically on the media and war is not up for debate. Thinking people should see how corrosive Television has been on our species. Via Vigilant Citizen

Pineal Gland 101

I mistakenly referred to pineal gland references in Babylon when actually its the Assyrian wall carvings that you can see in the last pineal gland post. A complete list of all those posts are here.

Advanced Joseph P. Farrell

More interesting for people familiar with Dr Farrell's work but good free range thinking on a lot of subjects if you're like it erudite.

2011 Crop Circles

Apart from being the most clever strategic communications on the planet, if there's one subject the thinking man is obliged to consider doing some open-minded research on, it's the crop circles. Period. The best approach is to come up with better questions than the answers.

Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove (How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb)

I never really understood Stanley Kubrick's films until I read Jay Weidner's deconstruction and now it's hard to see any other way of interpreting them. I was reading a review of Clockwork Orange just last week that didn't even touch on the key themes with Andy McDowell descending into trivia over aloof directors once the film was finished. 


I just completed watching Dr Strangelove to see what I could get out of it. The first time I watched it with my political mentor I didn't find it funny, though now I know about Project Paperclip the over the top Nazi Scientist makes sobering sense and though there's plenty of parody and caricature in the movie it's on the money over the big themes of hidden cold war power play, paternalism (not one woman in the movie), brain dead and brain washed military subordination, missiles as extension of penises and gum chewing as the signature of primate aggression (I never figured that out till watching Kubrick linger on it more than once).

There's a clear mention of water fluoridation disguised as pinko Commie plotting though it doesn't shirk from describing the intended result of a docile and unimaginative public. I might be reading a little too much into the war room scene of a Saturnalia ring of lights above the war council but Kubrick knew full well of Saturn worship at the highest levels. 


I only wish I could see the unedited cut of Eyes Wide Shut that was censored by the film studies before Kubricks untimely and unexpected death just days after completion. It was previewed and its first showing to the film studio who weren't happy with the candid revelation of Satanic sex rituals at the highest levels of elite U.S. society (although it applies with all elites)

For the cryptographers among you I have a hunch that Kubrick dropped something into the nuclear key codes scene of Dr Strangelove that were scribbled onto a notepad and essential to prevent the world descending into thermonuclear war. Let me know in the comments if you see anything.
