Bruce Lee - Enter The Dragon







It gave me a little kick that the essence of the movie is this opening scene snapped above and the deleted scene embedded below that is now available on the DVD but wasn't included in the original 1973 (important year that one) movie. The enemy is all illusion and that's so true and relevant it's nice that the video fell on the right moment as I flipped through it, and that the relevant clip came to light straight after.


Bruce Lee was so much more than an martial artist and for my money acts better than anyone else in the movie though there are some Thespian shockers in this film. The download was excellent quality and I really loved the Hong Kong scenes. I miss Hong Kong a lot but it's never taken good care of me for one reason and another.





Update: I just watched this new Bruce Lee documentary upload on Youtube. It's not bad at all. 



Anarchism For Relief of 1% Constipation





I don't consider myself any particular ideology though I don't mind choosing good ideas. In principle the dynamics of anarchism are much more in harmony with human nature than neoliberal capitalism which has to fall one day. That doesn't mean I can't pick and choose ideas from communism or capitalism when they're appropriate and contextually relevant. 

David Graeber from Yale gives a good talk on the subject of anarchism here. Pick and mix people. Create your own reality and chuck out the ideologies. They're too fixed, easy to corrupt and anti human. 

Elliott Abrams Makes A Fool Of Himself Over Syria





Elliott Abrams is a Zioncon warmonger from the Iran Contra days of blood and massacre in Nicaragua. He's a proven liar but as we know George W Bush promoted many hundreds of these psychopaths to justify his illegal war in Iraq. Normally a psycho like this should be in an insane asylum but in our sick society they get well paid positions on the Council on Foreign Relations as a Senior Fellow or Sick Fucks as I notice most of the senior fellows are including Ed Husain who advocated and lobbied for intervention in Syria and is now running from the bloodshed they have invoked. This interview is a must listen for the breeze block stupidity of Elliot Abrams advocating religious groups as the solution to sectarian divide in Syria. Even Ed Husain realises the madness of this.

I am a big fan of Jewish contribution to history including arts and philosophy as much as I am an Arab fan for their contribution to mathematics and astrology but these Jewish Neocon warmongers on think tanks are appalling. They appall me. I'm appalled.

Go on. Listen. Do the work. Listen to the abject stupidity that is followed by war dollars and heart breaking misery.
