Keep The Aspidistra Flying - Orwell On Advertising

"The interesting thing about the New Albion was that it was so completely modern in spirit. There was hardly a soul in the firm who was not perfectly well aware that publicity — advertising — is the dirtiest ramp that capitalism has yet produced. In the red lead firm there had still lingered certain notions of commercial honour and usefulness. But such things would have been laughed at in the New Albion. Most of the employees were the hard-boiled, Americanized, go-getting type to whom nothing in the world is sacred, except money. They had their cynical code worked out. The public are swine; advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill-bucket. And yet beneath their cynicism there was the final naivete, the blind worship of the money-god. Gordon studied them unobtrusively. As before, he did his work passably well and his fellow-employees looked down on him. Nothing had changed in his inner mind. He still despised and repudiated the money-code. Somehow, sooner or later, he was going to escape from it; even now, after his first fiasco, he still plotted to escape. He was in the money world, but not of it. As for the types about him, the little bowler-hatted worms who never turned, and the go-getters, the American business-college gutter-crawlers, they rather amused him than not. He liked studying their slavish keep-your-job mentality. He was the chief among them takin’ notes."


Has George Monbiot linked the normalising effect of advertising to consumer fetish in yesterdays Guardian piece? Is Occupy Madison Avenue next? 


My own thoughts some months ago are over here. The entire .pdf of Keep the aspidistra flying is available over here. It's my favourite Orwell after Down and out in Paris and London.

Excellent Channel 4 Documentary On Syria

I'm a big critic of mainstream media and so it's only right when terrific undercover reporting is done as Ramita Navai does for Channel 4's Unreported World.

The Latest Clif High Interview

Always good value. Never boring.

New HDTV Money Shot Of NATO War Porn

Our new friends in Tripoli spreading democracy, justice and truth. The drones that destroyed Gaddafi's convoy were instrumental in his capture. At ease soldier.

Above is a clip including footage of recently converted to Roman Catholicism former PM Tony Blair hugging Gaddafi.

Unmissable Cult Movies - John Carpenter's They Live

Están Vivos (They Live) - John Carpenter. from Morféo on Vimeo.

In Total Film's top 34 cult movies and available in full online. Also one of Tariq Ali's top picks and probably as contemporary as it ever will be.

Red Ice Radio Interviews Jay Weidner (2007)

First class interview again. Just when I think I probably wont hear another Jay Weidner interview where a lot of fresh topics are covered or old topics covered in new ways (or vice versa) this lands in my datastream. Well worth the listen.

Be Streetwise - David Icke To The Occupy Movement

Few people can talk so comprehensively for half an hour without a teleprompter. This is two decades of ringing the alarm bell condensed from the heart to the camera. David Icke  as you can see from this impassioned speech isn't jumping on the bandwagon. The rantings of this widely portrayed by mainstream media peculiar man, on the periphery of mainstream unconciousness (sic) has never looked more relevant. Judge for yourself.

Bangkok Galoshes

The Honda factory took a hit the other day and lost a fleet of new vehicles to the flooding which is less about Bangkok rain than northern rains spilling over the Chaophraya river as it makes its way south. Commuters have learned quickly that the high ground is the dry ground and so as Bangkok is threaded with overhead express-ways they are now used for parking. I've said it before but 19th century combustion engine technology sitting in 3/4 of a tonne of steel is a tech suppression reality. It's just capitalism which has no need for medical cures or zero point energy solutions as that puts the corporations out of business. It's naive and/or intellectually vacuous to have any other conclusion. But that wont last forever. Nothing does thank God.

FKN News

Deek covers the Gadaffi lynching in a couple of darkly satirical minutes. Our glorious allies have put his body on display inside a freezer stationed in a Shopping Mall. Starbucks while you fill up your car love?

Ancient Aliens & Earth Grids

This weeks episode of Ancient Aliens is  a gem. It's a bit hit and miss in the third series as they run out of steam and milk the topic, but the latest taps into the Earth Grid that coincidentally was last weeks topic of conversation between Red Ice Radio and Dr. Joseph P. Farrell. The New Grange neolithic site in Ireland covered in this episode was completely new to me. 3500 B.C. and it's in fantastic condition.

Libyan Street Parties & Western Open Sewers

I'm revolted by the barbaric animals the Pentagon and NATO switched sides to prop up the disintegrating economic extraction model of perpetual war and fiat currency. The Anglo American hegemony in the oil rich middle East thrives on division, ignorance and vengeance. It profits from arms sales and peddles loans of increasingly worthless paper. 

The bloodied  pathetic and pleading-for-his-life pensioner above was brutal to his opponents while in power, but give me the animal tinpot dictator compared to the illness of institutionalised Western psychopathy. Our leaders, priests, generals and journalists don't have that spectrum of emotion. 

They are dull, very cowardly and mechanically evil. Nobody comes out of this looking remotely honourable.

Lunar Shadows

Responding to comments on the counter-intuitive nature of shadow directions in the Moon Castles & Pyramid post the video creator secureteam10 has provided an explanation which in his defence (I assume it's a he) is also NASA'S explanation for photographic shadow discrepancies  from the Apollo missions. 

I have too many questions now to argue either for or against the veracity of the shadows but this post I wrote is worth reading for a fuller picture.

Moon Castles & Pyramids

A lot of marriages have folded with researchers getting obsessed with lunar architecture. There's a ton of this stuff on the net and I don't question it given the supporting evidence I've learned elsewhere. However I never post this kind of stuf because photographic evidence should be secondary (to me). But this clip that was just uploaded is fresh and in my book superior to anything else I've seen.

So if intelligent life is on the moon, is that why Apollo never finished the mission and we can barely get a decent photograph of the lunar surface yet download new galaxies forming light millennia away? Is this why NASA just made the moon a no go zone even though it belongs just as much to us as it does to them?

We'll see.

North Sea Triangle

Cpt Robert McDonald, appearing on Kevin Smith's Show, tells of a 2009 voyage in which his ship (a Viking ship replica) encountered a USO (Unidentified Submarine Object) and was damaged. Men in black confiscated the ship's log and all documents. Electronics on the ship were melted. Cpt McDonald was later found to have an electronic implant and an unidentifiable cancer in his neck. There are so few mentions of North Sea Triangle on the web I'm posting it here. It's an incredible story.

Perfectly Aligned Megaliths

There's a British TV documentary on Youtube I watched last week where a professor of sculpture and another amiable British academic tried to emulate the Olmecs of Mesoamerica. They could neither carve an eyebrow in a large stone or move it a few yards to its destination using the 'tools of the day' and gave up hope, comprehensively humiliated and unable to offer an explanation.

I didn't post it as I'm more interested in the Olmecs themselves than stuffy British academia failing miserably to do what was done in ancient times but this video is non stop perfectly aligned beautiful rock and I could look at it all day. It makes me want to fly to South America immediately. stopping off at say the Egyptian pyramids, Abydos temple and checking out the  latest discovery in Turkey of Göbekli Tepe  on the way.

Here's the blurb of this excellent documentary: Join Researcher David Hatcher Childress and British Engineer Christopher Dunn as they journey to Cuzco in the Andes Mountains to examine evidence for the possible use of advanced rock-machining techniques. Going to ancient cities and megalithic quarries, they again examine saw marks, advanced lifting and moving techniques, as well as evidence of Pre-Incan megalith builders at Machu Picchu and Ollantaytambo. They continue on to Lake Titicaca where they investigate the strange megalithic towers and a "stargate" cut into solid rock. Finally they examine the huge granite megaliths at Tiwanaku and Puma Punku for signs of the use of power tools and other advanced, ancient technology. Blows the lid off South American archeology with evidence of advanced ancient technology thousands of years old.

Should @CharlieBrooker Lay Off Lizards?

Here's the background information. Poll open till Friday afternoon.

Death Of A Corporate Coup D'Etat.

If you watch one thoughtful five minute interview on Occupy Wall Street #OWS it's this one. 


Pay attention to a man who remembers the people of Berlin saying the Berlin Wall might take another year to fall some hours before it actually did.

Does E.T. Smoke The Good Stuff?

Probably not but at least we now know they're into filthy dirty sex. It would be interesting to know what Alex Collier thinks of this interview as much of it correlates with his information so it's either lifted or corroborates. 

This is the third interview of Tolec I've posted and the first one is here. The Andromeda Council website is over here and (being somewhat sceptical) I urge the Andromedans to call Pizza Hut and familiarize themselves with the entire menu as a precursor to understanding human beings and coming to the rescue and rescuing the entire biosphere.
