It's Time For A Spiritual Revolution - Russell Brand




Some people that I usually like are really polarized by Russell Brand. There's a tiny chance he's in with the Hollywood MKULTRA circus/carnival, but I don't think so and  usually handlers stay close to their subjects. They don't divorce them and go on world tour. 

Is it Russell's fault he's made a few quid and is famous? John Lennon was too, and they shot him.

I'm enjoying Russell's call to spiritual revolution and even if he's not as real as I think he is. 

It's OK. 

We're not dependant on any single figure changing the world. 

We've changed ourselves on the inside first and so should you if you feel the need to swear and curse at one of the few celebrities to say fuck materialism and its superficial buddies celebrity and fame. 

It's what you can't touch that counts.

Blue Valentine




Some of the finest acting I've seen for quite a while. Blue Valentine is the perfect movie you want to show somebody who is going on and on about being 'madly, deeply, in love' because of it's accuracy in laying bare that all the best intentions can go awry. It's the opposite of a date movie as one memorable reviewer wrote at IMDB.

This is the first time I've seen Ryan Gosling and he is a great actor, though I'm suspicious of his Mickey Mouse club origins which is semi famous for pumping out MKULTRA celebrities. Michelle Williams is adorable as she does a little cowboy dance on their first date.

Apparently there's some debate about who is to blame for their breakup in the movie but if anything the point for me is nobody is to blame. 

It's just part of life and duality.

Wall St Queue Jumpers - HIgh Frequency Trading Algorithms




Whether you're Capitalist, Anti Capitalist or indifferent, this is one of the best money documentaries I've seen in a while. It conveyed to me that high frequency trading has nothing to do with economics because it is its own economic system and larger than the system it feeds off for reasons of mutual and pension fund buying patterns.

Where it also got interesting for me is the documentary is stuffed with the best of the best brains. The climate scientists, biological mathematicians, algorithm developers blah blah blah who all make money on Wall St instead of doing something useful for the planet.

Haim Bodeck is a legend in these circles but despite is awesome brain power it took him a year to realise it wasn't his algorithm code that fucked up, but was instead a conspiracy by others to jump the queue in orders on Wall St.

This is much like JFK and 9/11 conspiracy. Unless you can conceive it is possible, it doesn't matter how much evidence is in front of your eyes you will block it. As I've always said. It's the implications of conspiracy that freaks people out and I'm afraid most of the complex corruption cases called conspiracy (that I study) are true.

The world is not as it seems. 

Watch this documentary. 

It's important.
