As Michael P. himself said recently
'Democracy isn't about trust ...trust is something you should reserve for close friends and loved ones ...and even then you should check them out once in a while'
Thanks to The Antagonist for pointing me to an mp3 of a speech Parenti made earlier this year at the Understanding Deep Politics conference
Parenti's getting on a bit and he does lose his way momentarily a couple of times in his presentation. But this is Parenti we're talking about and even a Parenti who pauses occasionally to think to himself about what's for dinner tonight and if he should put on a cardigan or not is still a class act
Highlights of the talk include...
- A listing of the intellectual alternatives to what is now termed 'Conspiracy Theory. Alternatives such as "Innocence theory", "Somnabulist theory", "coincidence theory", "stupidity theory", "incompetence theory" and the trusty old loon favourite "stochastic theory" (shit happens)
- A discussion of how the Few have managed to narrow the range of permitted public political discourse down to a point where any suggestion that the establishment is run by people of deliberate bad faith is designated as being in the same category as Elvis sightings
- Identification of what should be a blindingly obvious point that, for some logically inconsistent reason, it's OK to believe that Labour organises to pursue its own self-interest in the best way that it can but to believe that oligrach's do the same is popularly dismissed as insanity. A notion enthusiastically promoted by media owned and controlled by those self-same oligarchs
Parenti also ponders upon the fact that those who consider themselves to be of the Liberal Left have been suckered into being some of the most vigorous supporters of this kind of elite-serving bullshit thinking
It's Parenti. It's Good Stuff

Here's a link reference for the Understanding Deep Politics Conference (Revealing the Driving Forces Behind World Events and Creating Alternative Solutions)
Special Advanced Conspiraloon Challenge: See if you can spot the cognitive infiltrators on the speaker list.
I count four
That's just the dead certs
How completely mental must we be to think that the deck of a Deep Politics Conference might be stacked?
still, that's small beer compared to the controlled implosion of the Anti-Zionist/ Anti-Semitic Christian Patriot loon niche currently taking place
It must be a very strange feeling not knowing which of the people you're secretly trying to subvert work for the same people as you do
definitely scope for a most contemporary sitcom
"How completely mental must we be to think that the deck of a Deep Politics Conference might be stacked?"
maybe that's just the organisers having a laugh
So, cognitive infiltrators, your next task is to roll out speakers that cover the subjects of conspiracy AND class interests, and then lead everyone down a dead end, carefully avoiding lizards and aliens along the way.
Good fucking luck with that one.
I mean Annie Machon, for fuck's sake
somebody's got to be taking the piss
There's definitely scope for Conspiraloon Labs to poduce some kind of 'Cognitive Infiltration' family board game
though it's maybe cutting things a bit fine to have it in the shops by Christmas
Actually, you could just drink a bottle of brandy each, run off a few copies of that Speakers List and have everyone argue over that
It would be nice to think that in a parallel universe the Conspiraloon Alliance has built up an incriminating dossier filled with pictures of oligarchs and their lackeys having consensual sex with over-age people they care for and performing acts of selfless kindness to the weak and furry animals that the Alliance uses to blackmail and infiltrate its way into subverting the Federal Reserve, Skull and Bones, the Privy Council etc etc
I mean Annie Machon, for fuck's sake
To be fair she did blow the lid on the gadaffi assanination plot, you know, the guy whose house R Reagan covertly dropped a bomb on.
If anyone wants to attend a Real Truth conference with no distractive bullshit, there still might be a handful of tickets for this awesome meeting of minds
and whilst I was rooting around David Icke's website looking for the previous link I couldn't help noticing that the Lizard Prophet is linking to Dr Nick's A1 research
No doubt links to J7 and the J7 Inquest blog with appear on Dave's site presently
and here's the question I asked a few posts back and will be posting about again in due course...
Why don't Jones, Icke, Rense et al link to J7?
Or well-researched and objective 7/7 documentaries such as 'Ludicrous Diversion' and 'Seeds of Deconstruction'?
I've seen lots of plugs for Shayler, Muad'ib, Kollerstrom and Ripple Effect over the years but links to anything that can stand up to rigorous criticism?
Not a fucking sausage
Why would that be?
tickets for this awesome meeting of minds
That looks great!! At least that's what I'd say after the lobotomy.
Lots of HAARPING on about the problem, but precisely fuck all in the way of what to do about any of it.
Oh, except for infinite love of the oppressors.
what I don't think you appreciate is that if we can figure out how to activate the crystal skulls we could use them to neutralise smart bombs and make money obsolete
Icke's extravaganza's happening just up the road from me....however 25 big ones is a bit much for me to indulge my ghoulish confirmation bias.
The revelation will not be monetised (by me anyway).
"Icke's extravaganza's happening just up the road from me"
I though it was somewhere near your neck of the words
and WTF they're only Fiat big ones
I'm surprised the organisers are even bothering to charge
What about applying for a press pass as an official representative of the Conspiraloon Alliance?
How could they possibly refuse?
WTF they're only Fiat big ones
The jockistani truth front are notoriously squeaky, and I need all the fiats to buy gold from those kindly but non forward thinking bullion merchants.
hehe
silly gold merchants
won't they feel daft when they've finally given away all their valuable bits of metal for worthless bits of paper
...plus once you factor in the t shirts, dvds and healthful energy foods, you starting to talk about all sorts of funny money.
I though it was somewhere near your neck of the words
Hopefully close enough to wake me up without having to pay...heh heh heh.
Re: Dr K. - Ridley-Duff (by name and nature) is a Dr too.
It's easy to lose faith in Drs.
Elsewhere in the lizardosphere, who on earth is he on about here.
It's Destroy David Icke Time (But They Won't)
And what is that strange hand signal?
it is a playing out of the collective energetic transformation now unfolding all around us as the energy of a dying and malevolent epoch desperately seeks to retain its position of control, deceit, parasitical exploitation and pre-eminence
What's so difficult to understand about that?
However, if he is bumped off, will there be a full face value ticket refund (plus booking and credit card fees)?
It's imperative that you attend, Paul, some very important new information may be revealed about the Moon Matrix!!!!!!!!!
His most staggering revelation is that the Earth and the collective human mind is manipulated from the Moon, which, he says, is not a ‘heavenly body’, but an artificial construct – a gigantic ‘spacecraft’ (probably a hollowed-out 'planetoid') – which is home to the extraterrestrial group that has been manipulating humanity for aeons.
He describes what he calls the ‘Moon Matrix’, a fake reality broadcast from the Moon which is decoded by the human body/mind in much the same way as portrayed in the Matrix movie trilogy. The Moon Matrix has ‘hacked’ into the human ‘body-computer’ system, he says, and it is feeding us a manipulated sense of self and the world 24/7.
!!!!!!!!!
"And what is that strange hand signal?"
that would be the holograph of a man with holographically painful holographic arthritus doing an impression of a Vulcan
It's very tempting, Ant, but what will I do with all that information??!!?
The core lesson of Icke's teachings is that none of what we experience is Real but that we should resist all the bad unreal things that happen to us because, er, I don't fucking know
If Orwell were alive today and attended one of Icke's talks he'd be in the middle of the Dress Circle somewhere whacking off like a Trojan
Paul, only the greater leader of the loon, David himself, can answer that.
I don't know why, but after learning about the evil Moon Matrix I feel the need to spend large amounts of fiat on monoatomic gold....
The core lesson of Icke's teachings is that none of what we experience is Real but that we should resist all the bad unreal things that happen to us because, er, I don't fucking know
That's it!
Then again, if nothing's real anyway, fucking get over it and shut up about it.
But then bang goes the 'lecture' circuit, the book market, etc., etc.
I think we may be on to something here....
Are David's books real?
"I feel the need to spend large amounts of fiat on monoatomic gold...."
better get your skates on
you've got some serious competition
So that's what Gordon Brown was up to.
Fuck moon matrix disinfo, Mars is where its at.
On the subject of resurrecting dead thinkers I wonder if someone could reanimate the likes of Karl Marx, Adam Smith or Thomas Jefferson exactly how would they feel to discover that the principles and ideas they devoted their lives to would be lumped together with...
"One of the most curious things about Zecharia Sitchin’s theories is his description of the Anunnaki’s search for gold. Their descent to Earth was triggered by a worsening environmental disaster on their own world, Nibiru. They came here with the explicit need to collect one thing: Gold. Why? Not for jewellery, certainly. Their plundering of the earth’s gold supplies was necessary in order to achieve just one end. They needed to pump the stuff into the atmosphere of Nibiru"
Why don't Jones, Icke, Rense et al link to J7?
Or well-researched and objective 7/7 documentaries such as 'Ludicrous Diversion' and 'Seeds of Deconstruction'?
...
Why would that be?
Why do some people eat too much junk food and sweets, instead of a more balanced diet? Why do some people rather watch edutainment (or tittytainment for that matter), instead of the news*? Maybe because the perception is that you get more "bang" for the buck, more satisfaction? And I guess it is the same why some people (and I plead a bit guilty here too) rather scandalize loudly ("Murderous bastard rulers!") than analyze calmly: They hope to deliver more bang for the buck. Oh well.
*) Please don't get me wrong, I don't want to idealize MSM mass-propaganda-news here. (There I go again: I scandalize)
@Paul
Nah, definitely Planet Nibiru
@Parapacem
I'm always telling J7 to start selling gold before the Anunnaki snag the lot and to warn forum members that the NWO is going to eat their babies but to no avail...
Fair enough
verification word:clatu
"The impact of the public fear of the Nibiru collision has been especially felt by professional astronomers. Mike Brown now says that Nibiru is the most common pseudoscientific topic he is asked about.
David Morrison, director of SETI, CSI Fellow and Senior Scientist at NASA's Astrobiology Institute at Ames Research Center, says he receives 20–25 emails a week about the impending arrival of Nibiru; some frightened, others angry and naming him as part of the conspiracy to keep the truth of the impending apocalypse from the public, and still others asking whether or not they should kill themselves, their children or their pets..."
... now that's what I call empowering information
I wonder if someone could reanimate the likes of Karl Marx, Adam Smith or Thomas Jefferson exactly how would they feel to discover that the principles and ideas they devoted their lives to would be lumped together with...
I think Marx would say this is a diversion from the necessary struggles that the working class has to conduct against the capitalists and the bourgeoisie.
This comes closest:
A part of the bourgeoisie is desirous of redressing social grievances in order to secure the continued existence of bourgeois society.
To this section belong economists, philanthropists, humanitarians, improvers of the condition of the working class, organisers of charity, members of societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, temperance fanatics, hole-and-corner reformers of every imaginable kind.
People who profit (somehow) from the system divert attention away from the necessary struggles, in order to (consciously or not) stabilize the system. They see the evils, but don't want to fight, don't want to get in danger. Oh well, not that I am a heroic revolutionary myself...
Speaking of stuffing the atmosphere with restorative monoatomic gold...
The powerful coalition that wants to engineer the world's climate
It may be the loon in me but there would appear to be some parallels between the atmospheric stories.
@Paracem
pretty close, and I'd agree with the motivations and frailties you identify but, as a complete loon, I have to suggest that, whoever really wrote them and for whatever reason, the Protocols are pretty close as well
@ant
take a look out fo the window before the Sun goes down and ponder the possible significance, if any, of this story
And I would be a total hypocrite if I didn't admit to an interest in some of the subjects promoted by holograms such as the David Icke construction. I see copious evidence of covert symbolism being employed in the world around me, the use of psychological techniques that would have once been referred to as magic and the existence of fruity little elitist clubs which believe some really strange stuff
But just because I can see that 'They' believe some strange, fucked-up shit that's no reason for me to start uncritically accepting strange, fucked-up shit. If you start doing that then you are certainly going to end up being more lost than when you started. What kind of 'Awakening' is that?
Sensational claims call for Sensational evidence and, in the absence of that evidence, they are indistinguishable from bullshit
I'd be a lot less critical if the people peddling this material were a little less certain about their claims, used more speculative langauge and talked in terms of tangible evidence, possibilities and probabilities
In the absence of that, if something looks like bullshit and smells like bullshit...
and, no, this doesn't qualify as an endorsement but the latest piece of chemtrail conspiratainment is up...
Much-Awaited Documentary, What In The World Are They Spraying? Now At YouTube

The scariest of all the griffin species. I imagine he imagines they are spraying pure collectivism.
lol
best line of the day
a winter's family night in huddled snugly around Parenti and some valuable chemtrail information
the perfect excuse to roast some chestnuts
"I imagine he imagines they are spraying pure collectivism."
I still cherish the memory of The Antagonist's reaction to the final reel of The Capitalist Conspiracy
I think the title may have misled him, and one or two others, somewhat
pump up the teworr,pump up the teworr!where is Elmar fud when you need him?
