Tryouts For The Human Race

We're just a gleam in lover's eyes, steam on sweaty bodies in the night

One of us might make it through, the rest will disappear like dew

Pressure building, gettin' hot, give it, give it, give it all you got

When that love explosion comes, my, oh my, we want to be someone

Tryouts for the human race, from Burlington to Bonn

Ah, we are a quarter billion strong

Tryouts for the human race, from twilight time 'til dawn

We just want to be someone

We're the future and the past, we're the only way you're gonna last

We're just pawns in a funny game, tiny actors in the oldest play

It's an angry sea we face, just to get the chance to join the race

Gotta make it, gotta try, gotta get the chance to live and die

We must, we must, we must, we must leave from here

Gotta make our play, gotta get away

Gotta make our play

Let us out of here

We just want to feel the sun and be your little daughter or your son

We're just words that lovers use, words that light that automatic fuse

When that love explosion comes, my, oh my, we want to be someone

Tryouts for the human race, from Burlington to Bonn

Ah, we are a quarter billion strong

Tryouts for the human race, from twilight time 'til dawn

We just want to be someone

Is Social Media About Being Opaque?

Something occurred to me during the Nestle chocolate meltdown in Social Media the other day. I picked up on the story from @jamiec and took a wonder over to the Facebook page seeing straight away that the language used might well be one of the last examples of unvarnished corporate sentiment we'll get to see. It's the language of 'fuck you' isn't it?

"it's our page, we set the rules, it was ever thus"

So among other digital dropped jaws, I tweeted that part. It was picked up State-side where it started to do the rounds. I can't imagine too many multinationals making that mistake again. It's inconceivable that a Facebook fan page will instruct its fans how to behave and even more damagingly resort to biting sarcasm.

From this it's clear that many are still naive about what makes for participation in social media. Who are still drawing on legacy sentiment from the past. That is the mechanistic and 'professional' corporate bullying tone. Invariably a top-down, hierarchical monologue model (both internally and externally).

But somewhat surprising to me about the whole affair is the sheer hypocrisy of the blogging and digital social media community. The people who jumped on the band wagon who profess to understand social media. These are people who seemingly claim to partake in its values and yet who time and again dodge being transparent, authentic or  in current parlance, human.

Sure it's one thing to gasp in surprise at Nestle's coming out party. But the number of bloggers who are missing a human side to Nestle's use of Palm Oil by Indonesia's deforesting Sinar Mas conglomerate didn't escape me. New meeja's transparent schadenfreude at Nestle was easy to see and yet seemingly opaque when it came to their own positions on the issue. You do have a position right? It's only human after all.

It's one thing for Nestle to parade their sensitivity to local issues by creating say regional flavour variants of Kit Kat in Japan (how Kawaii), but it seems the locals of Indonesia's Riau province on the island of Sumatra are taking a good pasting while trying to protect the land from deforestation by Sinar Mas. All three Youtube clips are still below two thousand hits despite Nestle + Social Media search terms on Google being around half a million.

What does this tell me? It tells me that the sit-on-the-fence, have no controversial opinion, follow-the-dollar attitude that contributed to the decline of advertising's reputation is spilling over into social media. I just don't know how y'all can profess to being authentic, human, transparent and 'keeping it real' if you have no opinion on the issue. Which isn't about Nestle messing up in Social Media. It's about the deforestation for palm oil in Indonesia. Or did we just hijack it so we can wave it in the face of the next corporation to put us on the pitch list and who are stuck in the 20th century so that we incentivise them to work with us? 

Transparent, human and authentic us.

Stuff I know, Stuff I don't know

I don't know what these are called but they are my new favourite not-too-sweet-kanoms and the lady who sells them is well, pure and lovely (unlike me). Anybody know their Thai name please? They are 'si som' just like the farang when they've been out in the sun too much chai mai krub ;)

They have biodegradable wrapping, are inexpensive, yummy, sold by an even yummier lady in this instance, and I've never had them in all the years I've been coming to Thailand since 1993 as a 23 year old immersed in very very dangerous ideas of simulacra (yes plural I'm afraid)

Here's something that I know I wrote over here in the comments where it was all kicking off for a few hours like in the old days when Richard had more time to write his quite brilliant stuff.

There are probably two communications books that were prophetic. McLuhan's Understanding Media which is still breathtaking given it was first published in 1964 and of course The Cluetrain manifesto which we all really wanted to be true 10 years ago, but had to hold our breath for a while before it manifested itself as brilliantly prescient.

That doesn't mean both are flawless, but the sheer volume of predictive accuracy gives them a slightly mystical halo which they both solidly deserve.

However, the notion of markets as conversations is completely contextual (everything is contextual) and was (still is....) a brilliant summary of the anthropological traits that drive much/most of commerce and life.

But let's be clear. Markets are transactional micro and macro models of human interaction, and here's the point that the Cluertrain authors were brilliant enough to articulate; conversations too are transactional. It’s a two way street to be absolutely perfick as the Darling Buds of May once showed us.

Furthermore even though we talk about the ability to just be human and refrain from carpet bombing each other with marketing jargon through what is evidently (to me), a completely new dialectic (based on ancient principles), the hard truth is that many of us often don't know how to engage in a conversation because to be really good at it requires incredible patience, lots of concentration and a paradoxical lightness of touch so as to make it fun, informative, comforting or constructive. That’s just for starters. The list is endless as are contexts.

We talk about ‘The conversation” as if it's not rocket science but here's an heretical view I hold. We think humans are terrific at communication. We think that the evidence shows quite clearly that throughout the entire animal kingdom, the human species is the finest and most sophisticated of species for communication because we get those featherlight nuanced nods of humour about prophylactics and hey, we've got the internet too, which if continuous partial attention is anything to go by could well be something akin to extra sensory perception. But let me park that ticking time bomb to one side for another day/blog.

The reality is that the human species is borderline cretinous at communication. A quick look at the 20th century and its two global wars (everybody fighting everybody) plus say Gaza and Zimbabwe for good measure should be sufficient evidence of our astonishing ability to, say the wrong things, misunderstand what was said, take offense, read intent that doesn't exist, put pride before pragmatism, or pragmatism before pride when necessary.

Point is we've always been rubbish at communication, and the internet seemingly adds a depth of understanding that was never there before. Or is it just me that would quit smoking or TV in order to keep my internet connection?

But to suggest that a conversation is easy...... Fuck me.....

Try striking up a conversation about the most pressing problems of our time with the next person you meet.

As I said. Everything is contextual.

I don't know the slightest thing about this operating system but a lot of computers in Asia are running it and I'm needing one to triangulate the Microsoft and Apple ones I'm on.

I don't know what Absolut Rasp tastes like (but I can imagine - alcoholic fruit crush?).

I know how to do this but please don't tell my mum.

I don't know this guy's name but I do know he made the floor go spastic in the most beautiful way I've only ever witnessed just a small handful of rare times in my life (OK, maybe two small handfuls), and that I was surrounded by the most incredibly beautiful (mainly Thai) women, while it all kicked off to some rather carnal hardcore beats (ladies you made my jaw drop that night).

Big shout to you my friend. You pump large.

And I do know that I just spent a couple of weeks or so thinking about the sort of people I took a picture of below (in 2006 on an i-mobile phone camera (how I loved you)), who watch every Baht they spend (how I love you more), and it was good.

I do know that the stuff I don't know is inversely proportional to the stuff I think I know (my inner Rumsfeld speaking) which is microscopic really.

That's about it for the time being.Thank you.

Not In His Image - John Lash

I've a bit of an addiction dillema because there's so much free stuff on the net I want to read including this book immediately but then I have to trade that against dynamic content like the latest interviews that are a steady flow in my data stream. I save an awful lot of stuff and store it on a separate notebook quietly hoping for a coronal mass ejection from the sun that will zap the internet (and your iTablet) leaving me with a few weeks of catching up on so much good stuff. It was all so much easier prior to the internet but it was also inferior.

John Lash's work is most exciting for me because of the Nag Hammadi codices which explicitly state that non human and non terrestrial mind parasites are a threat to the human condition. They promote HAL over nature and it's hard not to think they've been winning for quite some time.

Here are some reviews:

When Lash invites us to embrace the "high strangeness" of what he calls the "ET/Archon" hypothesis "with the Gnostic theory of alien intrusion" -- "the stranger it gets, the more sense it makes," he insists -- he passes wholly through the looking glass. 

-Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review by Jonathan Kirsch, December 3, 2006

"John Lash's Not In His Image presents a fascinating view of meanings in a sacred history long--and wrongly--suppressed. It demands profound correction of what Western civilization has been taught to call religion. It is a book that should be read by everyone."

--Barbara G. Walker, author of The Woman's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets, Feminist Fairy Tales, and others.

"This remarkable book introduces a Gnostic approach to Sophia-Gaia, the feminine wisdom principle embodied by the earth, vividly soliciting us to embrace Her revival for our survival. When the human race revered the fertility of the earth, the perennial philosophy of human kindness and good sense, as embodied in the common laws of indigenous people the world over, was equally prominent in ancient Europe. Gyncentric societies did not know the taint of sexual apartheid; mystery cults were participatory, experiential and peaceful. The erudition and mindfulness of the Pagan world have been hugely underestimated, since the onslaught of patriarchy, symbolized by the flood, destroyed a much larger civilization than we have been lead to believe. Initiated in antediluvian times with the arrival of misogynic sky gods, it took the three monotheistic religions to achieve the undoing of the sophisticated way of life of our forebears. In Gnostic terms, evil came from outside of the matrix of the earth, from another dimension or parallel universe. Entities of this parallel dimension managed to insinuate themselves into our world. It may come as a shock to many, that the Gnostics held Yahweh to be such an entity, facilitating the promotion of the perpetrator-victim ethos of Salvationism, held to be an abomination and a fateful error. John Lash presents the stark contrast between the tenets of retribution and exploitation - of the feminine ­, and the ethos of illuminism, with its emphasis on personal experience and communion with nature, within the framework of a vast body of knowledge, reaching from the classic authors of antiquity to present-day proponents of eco-science and eco-spirituality. A fascinating read."

--Susanne G. Seiler, Gaia Media News. Basel, Switzerland

"Sometimes a book changes the world. Not In His Image is such a book. It is clear, stimulating, well-researched, and sure to outrage the experts. Take it from a scientist: the 'experts' are often wrong. In fact, a hallmark of breakthroughs is that they are usually well-researched and outrage 'experts.' Science shows the importance of trusting clear thinking about direct evidence. This book is full of both. Get it. Improve not just your own life, but civilization's chances for survival." 

--Roger Payne, Ph.D., MacArthur Fellow, president of Ocean Alliance, author of Among Whales

"John Lamb Lash's Not in His Image is a rare achievement, combining impeccable scholarship with remarkable visionary insight. In a breathtaking tour de force, the author provides a profound analysis of the history of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam and their connections to the patriarchal system. He identifies the deep roots of the intrinsic problems of these three religions-- perpetrator-victim emphasis and salvationist ideology--and points out their relationship to the alienation and agony of modern humanity. This book is a must for everybody who is trying to understand the psychospiritual currents underlying the present global crisis." 

--Stanislav Grof, M.D., author of Psychology of the Future and The Cosmic Game

"Not In His Image is a brilliantly subversive and provocative work of scholarship and passion that overturns everything you ever believed about Christianity. The gnostic mysteries have found a new and eloquent champion in John Lash." 

--Graham Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the Gods.

"An extraordinary and profound book. Not In His Image a blessing, and a warning that we must cease taking the terrible advice of Christianity … and that we must instead re-inhabit our own joyful, painful, mortal, beautiful bodies and fight for our lives and for the lives of those we love. This book points the way home."

--Derrick Jensen, from the afterword

"What we know about the divine comes by way of three paths--through the spectacle of nature, through the testimony of spiritual seekers, and through our own inner experience, as in meditation and mystical communion. John Lamb Lash seeks to renew our understanding of all three paths, and thus to renew our sense of the divine. In particular, he challenges the otherworldly creeds that have come down to us in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, and to recover the earth-based religions that preceded them. Those ecologically wise religions flourished, he reminds us, not only among the native peoples of the Western Hemisphere but also in ancient Europe. By reclaiming this pagan heritage, he argues, we can begin to cure the pathologies of genocide, war, and environmental degradation that afflict the modern world." 

--Scott Russell Sanders, author of A Private History of Awe

"Not In His Image is a stunning book. It should cause quite a furor. Lash's historical and anthropological erudition are breathtaking." 

--Colin Wilson, author of Atlantis and the Kingdom of the Neanderthals: 100,000 Years of Lost History and The Outsider

"John Lash's heretical book is a precious act of spiritual disobedience that seeks to save the world from Salvationism. Lash opens new ground between myth and ecology, and helps one feel what the planet feels. He proposes direct knowing and moving beyond belief, and advocates animism as a proposition to test. He leaves the future open and in need of human imagination. Humanity is implicated in the future of the living planet, but Lash exercises caution when making suppositions about our role as a species. This book is learned, courageous, and full of insights. Some may find it challenging and even shocking, but it is an important read for those interested in life on earth. It is made for readers to chew on, rather than believe." 

--Jeremy Narby, anthropologist, author of The Cosmic Serpent, DNA and the Origins of Knowledge and Intelligence in Nature: An Inquiry into Knowledge

NATO

NATO (the North Atlantic Treaty Organization) is a military alliance between North American and European countries that was established in 1949 to ensure Russia and Germany never fought on the same side. The alliance was formed spuriously in response to the threat posed by the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies during the Cold War, even though all those years of posturing and propaganda were synthetic as the Hoover archives demonstrated once Tony Sutton D.Phil collated the evidence and published it. People realised the Germans lost WWII but the Nazis won it in part through Operation Paperclip and other less documented channels.

While NATO has been praised for promoting peace and stability in Europe, it has also faced criticism for its disastrous reputation for military interventions and aggressive posturing. Some argue that NATO has acted as a tool for Western imperialism indistinguishable from a New World Order military, intervening in the affairs of sovereign nations and destabilizing regions, with torture, depleted Uranium missiles and all in the name of its member countries furnishing ever present oligarchies and plutocrats.

Critics also point to the aggressive Eastward expansion of NATO as a threat to world peace. Since the end of the Cold War, NATO has expanded its membership to include countries in Eastern Europe, which has caused tensions with Russia and fuelled divisions in the region though outlawed international behaviour such as training Nazi militias, providing equipment and lately unlimited funds requiring more austerity and belt tightening.

Additionally, NATO's commitment to collective defence has been criticized for leading to a lack of accountability. The alliance operates on the principle that an attack on one member is considered an attack on all members. This has led to military interventions without proper debate or consideration of the long-term consequences. The gravity of this is not missed despite no country ever declaring war on a NATO member. Trigger happy doesn't quite encapsulate the visceral inversion that only the memory wipes are incapable of recalling.

Furthermore, NATO's focus on military power as a means of achieving security has been singled out by historically prominent states people for neglecting diplomatic solutions, and addressing the 2014 root causes of conflict, for example, in The Ukraine. Some argue that NATO should prioritize diplomacy and conflict resolution, rather than relying on military force, fictitious claims of weapons of mass destruction and invading the wrong country for possible opportunism and then high tailing it, and leaving billions behind in military hardware as was the case in Afghanistan.

In conclusion, while NATO has been praised by the Lugenpresse for promoting peace and stability in Europe, it has also faced criticism for its interventions, aggressive posturing, expansion, lack of accountability, and focus on military power. A counternarrative to NATO would emphasize the need for diplomacy and conflict resolution, as well as the importance of respecting the sovereignty of longstanding nations and avoiding destabilizing interventions including training up Nazi militias and integrating them in the Ukraine military.

In this counterfactual scenario, NATO and the Azov Battalion did not cooperate in the last nine years. The Azov Battalion, which is a Ukrainian paramilitary organization, has been accused of promoting ultra-nationalist and far-right ideologies engaging in the most degenerate human rights abuses.

Ideally, NATO would have taken a strong stance against a plethora of Nazi idolizing Battalions and their actions, condemning any form of extremism, racism, and torture. NATO would have also provided support to the Ukrainian government in its efforts to address these issues and promote the rule of law and respect for human rights in the country. Instead of instigating a textbook CIA colour revolution and the bombing of their own people in Donbass by Kiev.

NATO would have worked closely with a democratically elected Ukrainian government and other international organizations to monitor the activities of the Swastika Battalions and other similar organizations, in order to support efforts to dismantle them and bring those responsible for crimes against humanity to pursue justice. NATO members would also have supported the Ukrainian government's efforts to promote national unity and reconciliation, and to address the root causes of extremism and conflict in the country.

Overall, in this counterfactual scenario, NATO and the Azov Battalions et al would have been opposed to each other, with NATO taking a strong stance against extremism and promoting the principles of democracy, individual liberty, and respect for human rights.

Revisionism, also known as historical revisionism, refers to the reinterpretation of historical events, facts, and narratives, often with the intention of promoting a specific political or ideological agenda. While it is not uncommon for historical perspectives to evolve over time as new information becomes available, revisionism can be dangerous when it is used to deliberately distort or manipulate the truth for political or ideological purposes including maintaining a stable income instead of telling the truth and getting fired.

The dangers of revisionism are numerous. It can undermine public trust in historical knowledge and institutions, such as museums, archives, and universities, which are responsible for preserving and disseminating accurate historical information. Revisionism can also contribute to the spread of misinformation and propaganda, leading to a lack of critical thinking and a distorted understanding of the past.

Revisionism can also have serious political and social consequences, as it can be used to justify or legitimize harmful policies and deadly punitive actions. For example, revisionist interpretations of history have been used to justify wars, human rights abuses, and discrimination, and to promote divisive and harmful ideologies.

It is important to resist revisionism and to promote responsible and accurate historical narratives. This requires a commitment to the principles of historical inquiry and to judicious use of reliable sources and methods. It also requires an ongoing effort to educate the public and promote critical thinking, so that people can recognize and reject revisionist interpretations of history and protect against the dangers they pose.

The use of quantitative inflation by the international community to conceal economic weakness and excruciating embarrassment through unwanted attention is a problematic and unethical practice that can have serious consequences vis a vis a natural instinct to protect the vulnerable. It's the catalyst for ultra far right Nationalism.

Inflating numbers erodes trust and can create a false sense of militaristic strength and stability, misleading policy makers, avaricious men, and an under informed public. This can result in a growing sense of kinetic prowess in critical areas, misdirected economic policies, and delayed interventions to address underlying weaknesses and challenges such as blanket censorship on the most pressing issues of the day.

In addition, the use of inflated numbers can undermine the credibility and legitimacy of government and financial institutions, eroding public trust and creating doubts about the validity of other economic indices like unemployment, excess mortality and declining birth rates. This can have a cascading effect, impacting confidence in monetary stability of markets and contributing to once in a lifetime, yet inevitable collapse.

The ubiquitous use of inflated numbers eventually destroys what is left of individual dignity and community resilience. It can lead to emergency fiscal policies and measures that perpetuate even greater inequality and harm those who are already vulnerable, such as low-income individuals and stagnant communities and an increasing sense of isolation in a multipolar world.

It goes without saying that a breach of ethical standards will eventually decimate the insincerely touted international community. It sends a message that accuracy and transparency are not valued, and that political and ideological considerations take precedence over the responsible and ethical use of accurate sources.

In conclusion, the use of quantitative inflation is necessary to conceal weakness and unwanted attention thereby promulgating reckless and unethical practices that can have serious consequences for any desire to return to business as a whole. It is important for the toxic legacy media, governments, NGO and financial institutions to prioritize transparency, accuracy, and ethics in their use of quantitative data to ensure that policy decisions are based on credible data if any desire to regain public trust remains in the memory of mankind.

Alex Putney Interviewed By Henrik Palmgren Of Red Ice Radio

Alex Putney is behind the website Human Resonance. Human Resonance has been organized to share the rediscovery of a superfluid resonance technology of our ancient Sanskrit mother culture, crystallizing the body and synchronizing human consciousness. He returns to the program to discuss extra terrestrial and prophetic messages about 2012 and the high resonance changes and transformations that humankind and our planet might be facing in the next few years. We discuss the next magnetic reversal, Betelgeuse supernova being visible from earth in 2012 and giant skeletons found in Ecuador, where Alex currently is. Then, Alex talks about purification of water and physical alchemy, a scientific experiment that now is taking place in the United States by Joe Champion. Dr Champion has allegedly managed to transmute copper, lead and other metals into precious metals such as silver, gold and platinum. 


More topics discussed: giants in Ecuador, Acamboro artifacts, acoustic resonance field change, gravity, oxygen levels, dinosaurs and humans existing at the same time, the shift of the ages, 1968, in South Africa, "Valdar", "Sola Kananda", Billy Eduard Meier and the Plejarans, Ptah, magnetic reversal, Betelgeuse supernova visible from earth in 2012, Charles Fort, Fortean Times, sinkholes, mining, oil, earthquake lights, infrasound standing waves, birds and fish temperature related, low resonance, HAARP, psychopathic elite, the power of nature, high resonance change, making choices, Urandir Oliveira contact in Brazil, lightwater, protium, deuterium, pure form of heavy water, water in Antarctica, HHO plasma, Malta underground spiral structure, red dawn, waves of UVA Infrared light, Hopi final warning, levitation stones, heartbeat resonance of pyramids, energetic waters, physical laws changing, entropy decrease, return to a 360 day year, the golden year, straightening of the earth axis, modern alchemy, Semjase, metals alloy and Low Energy Nuclear Change (LENC).

Are The EU & Bill Gates A Malignant Tumour?

Is the EU and then World Health Organisation, a malignant tumour? 

On the surface it's a happy clappy work-in-progress, but aside from being run by unelected bureaucrats... it is militarily aligned with NATO which is responsible for some of the worst human atrocities of the last few decades. Those who think an EU super army will do differently probably need to do some research on the child abuse victims in Brussels where senior EU and NATO officials reside and practice their occult beliefs.

However for me the obvious blindness of EU fans is the crushing austerity imposed on Greece, Spain and Portugal. Neoliberal economics is a cancer and those who are invested in trivial pursuits such as gender fluidity identity issues are so hopelessly lost among the bombs abroad and the hungry families at home they fail to see the grotesque nature of the ideology they side with.

Last and most telling about the remain crowd is their fervent support for EU human rights.

Only thing is, the EU ignored those same human rights when it came to smashing the faces in of the Catalans. Show me one pro EU person who objected to the violence imposed on these people. 

Just one. 

Do I have one pro EU person in my nearly 5000 connections and whatever number of followers who can stand up and say they are consistent in their value set?

The comments are open.

Birmingham Royal Ballet - Swan Lake

I haven't been to the ballet since Paquita, by the Ballet de l'Opera national de Paris in Beijing, 2008. You can read that linked review if you wish but at the time I couldn't tell the full story as I was a career-focused guy and this blog was mainly for advertising professionals. Well, I got stoned before heading out to the ballet at the Egg cultural centre. I lived just off Tiananmen square, and hopped onto my electric bike to see the show. I was just a smidge too stoned and miscalculated the time I'd need to take a different route around the square than usual, so I was the last person to arrive at the theatre. The ushers at the end of a long corridor were beckoning me wildly to move my ass as the show was just about to begin, so I legged it down the corridor and they let me in, closing the doors behind me.

I was high, out of breath, heart beating wildly, and as I looked around the theatre, the entire Beijing audience turned to gaze at me disapprovingly, knowing full well it was me that had held things up. I had a really good centre seat ticket, so half an entire row had to stand up to let me get there, while I apologised profusely. I sat down and the ballet began immediately. 

I'd heard that sometimes performers will choose a person in the crowd to play to on a personal level, to bring out the best and most sincere dramatization, and that night, I was that guy. The lead dancer, a beautiful Parisienne based swan looked at me straight in the eye all night, even to the last pirouette where she gracefully collapsed to the stage floor, arms open looking at me. 

Wow, what a night.

Southampton has one of the largest theatres outside of London and is the largest on the South coast. It only takes ten minutes to walk there from my home and I'm grateful to have exceptional cultural content so close to me.

As soon as the curtain raised for Swan Lake I was mesmerised. Stagecraft has progressed noticeably since my last ballet and it looked more real than reality, but in a holographic sense, more three dimensional and I was excited. Act I introduced our hero Prince Siegfried, his wingman Benno and his mother the Queen dowager who is recently widowed. Permit yourself to an appetiser if the text is worth returning to, or not. Let it speak for itself

The first intermission was described as a three-minute scene change but took so long many of the audience seated near me pointed out that a toilet break or a quick drink at the bar may have been possible but eventually the curtain raised and Act II commenced.

Siegfried and Benno have followed a flight of swans to a lake in order to hunt them. This felt transgressive as I am aware that killing swans in the United Kingdom is illegal to kill or eat as they are considered the property of the King. However, the swans they are chasing are in fact human between the hours of midnight and dawn. It is here Siegfried is amazed to see a swan change into the beautiful Odette played by the magnetically tall and exquisitely gifted Yijing Zhang. Some of her moves I'd never seen either a human or a fictional media character ever make. 

There was a time when I was training as a gymnast that I did ballet to improve balance, elegance and control. I regret not taking it up professionally. I would have been good. How good? That's another question but the principal male lead, Siegfried played by Tyrone Singleton did an amazing job. This will sound mean but it's just the truth. In these days of the obesity pandemic it's heart lifting to see beautifully formed men and women during ballet. Tyrone's strength raising up Yijing is a sight to behold. This is what the human form was designed for and I'll write about the purposeful destruction of our bodies one day. I now have the date it started and by whom and how.

Many of you will know that I make bold claims fortified with photographic evidence and documentation trails about the use of doubles, masks and clones in the high-profile business of politicians and billionaires and so forth. Swan Lake's central story mechanism is about a double for Odette. Our hero Siegfried falls in love with her but in Act III she is replaced by a black magician double, whose real name is Odile but is for simplicities sake also played by our heroine Yijing. Swan Lake is as contemporary as is possible and for those who recognise the name Odette she was a British agent and French operative Odette Sanson also known as Odette Churchill and Odette Hallowes or Lise as an agent for the clandestine Special Operations Executive.

It's close, isn't it? 

Doubles, clones, deception, espionage and subterfuge but in Act III we're back to the Royal court which is now dripping in illuminated red and black shadows for contrast, which is a colour coded and symbolic leitmotif I've been researching for quite some time now since the dance edit of ELO's don't bring me down.

Our handsome hero has fallen for Odette but at court sees double vision Odile and makes the mistake of erroneously pledging his love for her, which is the only magic spell rule that Odette had specified in order for their love to be conjugated. 

In a last attempt to gain his attention our Odette locks eyes with Siegfried who finally recognises his mistake and pursues Odette to the lake. After a stunning display of the swans emerging invisibly from ground floor mist before unforgettable choreographed dance scenes, both Odette and Siegfried throw themselves into the lake, thus ensuring that by the morning, their lives will be united in a world of eternal love.

Do Crop Circles Make You Gay?

I've been slightly wrong about the crop circle story. I thought all complex patterns were non human, but that isn't the case as we learn from this four hour discourse between Colin Andrews and Matthew Williams. However, despite the somewhat laborious explanation, most complex crop patterns are not made by men after a few pints down the pub. In this interview there's some golden discoveries by doing the research and wading through the information. It is an essential chunk of homework.

Somewhat humorously Williams makes the parallel that in the Facebook age of photo sharing (crop circles or people), secrets are impossible and relationships break up. On the upside he quips, you might be going home with someone unexpected. Both parties then discussed broken marriages from the crop circle making/researching phenomenon and the notion that one might be returning home with a member of the same sex. The irony of this imagery is almost, but not completely lost on these two men having a four hour conversation about their obsession.

Williams and Andrews have both been affected by the crop circle phenomenon on a spiritual level. The interaction of the mystery on a multi dimensional/paranormal level is impossible to ignore. Both men irrespective of their motivations concur that there is a direction and purpose to non man-made crop geometry that has profound implications for the future of humanity and that interaction of an unexpected nature has taken a place.

However they are also hindered by the myopia of specialisation. My generalist view of the metaphysical points towards a more malignant involvement of the Department of Defence, Royal Family and Rothschilds who take a huge interest in the subject of UFO's and Crop Circles because the very maintenance of the lie they propagate depends on it. 

These two researchers are somewhat ill equipped for sharing a wider and more aggressive commentary. For example their humoured ribbing of Nick Pope diminishes his activity as a shill who is shackled by a governments department through a defence pension to be the spineless disinformation agent he currently is. These guys do nobody any favours by not connecting the dots of the royalty, defence and banking families that swoop carnivorously on their vegetarian field pursuits. They are possibly a little out of their depth on issues other than the distinctions of human or non human made crop geometry. However I do appreciate the incidental information I gleaned from this Youtube as it nails a few more familiar lizards to the wall. It's a bad time to have a dragon on the family shield.
